Fine-grained multimodal intelligence requires models to both understand a designated region and localize it from language. Existing methods learn these directions with separate objectives and…
High-fidelity 4D physical simulation requires accurate physical parameter assignments that align with diverse material properties. Previous methods struggle with critical bottlenecks: they either…
Preference optimization can improve every ranking metric while building a hidden, shared representation shift that the relative loss barely sees, one that can eventually destroy generation. We trace…
In implicit neural representations (INRs), 3D signals are encoded directly in network weights, making stable weight-space operations essential. However, permutation symmetry causes independently…
Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (SMoE) models improve scalability by routing input tokens to only a subset of expert networks, but they often suffer from representation collapse, in which multiple experts…
An LLM multi-agent system (MAS) is only as good as the agents it chooses to trust: its accuracy and cost hinge on its topology, meaning which agents are included and how they communicate. A single…
Why large language models trained via log-loss minimization over massive and diverse datasets exhibit broad capabilities and generalizable skills is not yet fully understood. Grau-Moya et al.
As-built BIM reconstruction from point clouds demands semantic, volumetric, parametric, and editable building components, beyond 2D layouts or planar abstractions. Yet existing scan-to-BIM pipelines…
Masked diffusion language models have emerged as an alternative to autoregressive models, enabling parallel token generation. However, standard masked diffusion language models use a shared noise…
Agentic search depends on the interface through which a language-model agent accesses and explores a corpus. Existing interface designs are fixed by hand and applied unchanged to every corpus,…
Barycenter models, based on stochastic and deterministic optimal transport bridges between probability measures, have proven to be useful for supervised and unsupervised learning for (probability)…
Traditional robotic navigation systems separate mapping, planning, and low-level control through cascaded modules, introducing computational overhead and accumulated latency. End-to-end reinforcement…
In-context reinforcement learning (ICRL) exploits the impressive in-context learning ability of large language models to zero-shot generalize to new, unseen tasks at inference time without any…
RLVR improves language-model reasoning, but commonly relies on independent stochastic rollouts for exploration, which can repeatedly sample similar failed strategies. Prior work has seen success with…
Planning under uncertain control execution noise requires reliable feedback policies across diverse environments. We introduce Planning Under Noise (PUN), a neural operator that learns noise-aware…
Discrete diffusion models iteratively denoise a noisy sequence of categorical data such as text, enabling any-order generation with self-correction and in-filling capabilities. This makes them…
General-purpose multimodal models have shown promise as direct robot action policies, yet whether they grasp the physics underlying real-world interactions and can apply that understanding to guide…
A planner using a learned world model can improve its predicted outcome while choosing a worse action. We study when expected free energy (EFE) can help decide how much computation to spend on a plan.
Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) face significant challenges in roundabout navigation due to dense traffic interactions and unpredictable agent behaviors, necessitating high levels of…
Spatial and spatiotemporal point process models are widely used to analyze event data across many scientific disciplines, but likelihood-based Bayesian inference is often computationally prohibitive…
Neural Posterior Estimation (NPE) fits an amortized conditional density estimator to a simulated training set of complete-data realizations. NPE's training objective, log-likelihood, favors posterior…
The evidence, $\mathcal{Z} = p(x | \mathcal{M})$, of a data-generating model $\mathcal{M}$ is a powerful tool in Bayesian frameworks: it enables model inference, model misspecification tests, and…
Learning causal structure from data requires assumptions about mechanisms, noises, observation schemes, and interventions. Historically, causal discovery has relied primarily on conditional…
We study the inverse problem of recovering unknown parameters governing the dynamics and rewards of Mean Field Games (MFGs) from partial observations of population trajectories, made stochastic by…
