Automatic operator design (AOD) has increasingly adopted large language models (LLMs) to generate problem-specific search and variation operators for multi-objective combinatorial optimization…
Diffusion transformers (DiTs) have become the dominant architecture for high-fidelity image synthesis, yet they suffer from slow training convergence and high computational cost. Two recent lines of…
Novel view synthesis (NVS) in degraded scenes aims to reconstruct 3D scenes from multi-view observations affected by various degradations, and to generate clear and photorealistic images at unseen…
Clients observing different parts of a prediction task may learn locally equivalent models with incompatible behavior outside their observed support. We study whether redundant models permit local…
Learning continuous-time dynamical systems from data is an active area of research. The Koopman formalism is often used here, because it is a flexible approach that is informative about the system's…
The decoding order of masked diffusion language models (dLLMs) can substantially affect generation quality, yet common decoders typically apply the same reveal rule throughout generation. Confidence…
Multimodal tool-using agents augment vision-language models with access to external information and capabilities, enabling them to solve knowledge-intensive and visually complex tasks that cannot be…
Legged robots have demonstrated advanced capabilities across a wide range of real-world tasks, yet much of this progress concerns the robot controlling only itself. Once the robot is coupled to an…
Accurate time series forecasting (TSF) is essential for Web applications, such as traffic monitoring and online resource management. Recent advances in leveraging pre-trained large language models…
Financial AI systems must support decision-bearing questions involving payments, collections, cash flow, and compliance while ensuring numerical accuracy, traceability, and auditability. Large…
Lane-changing (LC) maneuvers are highly challenging vehicle interactions, with substantial implications for traffic safety and efficiency. Developing effective LC strategies for connected and…
Many real-world optimization tasks are governed not only by what should be optimized, but also by what is allowed: a solution must first satisfy physical, operational, safety, budgetary, or…
We describe the agent we submitted to the GLEE Competition, which plays bargaining, negotiation, and persuasion games against a shared pool of human and AI opponents. The agent is built around three…
Legged robots for lunar exploration must be designed for low gravity, where reduced contact forces and long flight phases make leg morphology and controller choice interdependent. We study this for a…
As AI agents reshape Web search and advertising, platforms can monetize information that improves decisions. We study information pricing for sequential search among independent alternatives with…
Nepali-English code-switched conversational speech presents severe challenges for automatic speech recognition (ASR), chiefly through script confusion (inappropriate mixing of Devanagari and Latin…
Predicting surrounding vehicles' lane-change intentions enables autonomous vehicles to anticipate potential hazards and respond proactively rather than relying solely on reactive maneuvers. This…
Industrial systems continuously generate time series that vary in sampling frequency, scale, dynamics, and operating regime. Consequently a single time-series foundation model may not be able to…
Streaming federated learning (SFL) allows clients to train a shared model from continuously arriving data without retaining large local datasets. Such streams often exhibit temporal dependence, yet…
Discretizing continuous actions into discrete skills using methods like VQ-VAE has emerged as a powerful paradigm for robotic manipulation. However, quantization errors yield a suboptimal…
Extremely sparse-view computed tomography (xSV-CT) is critical when scanning time, motion, or radiation tolerance limits each scan to only a few projections. In many such scenarios, the same…
Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting has recently emerged as a promising alternative to per-scene optimization, enabling fast novel view synthesis by predicting Gaussian primitives directly from input…
