Large language models (LLMs) draw on parametric knowledge and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to solve knowledge-intensive tasks. Yet problem solving in unfamiliar domains calls for tightly…
Electric-field-based actuators and machines lead the design space at the nanoscale and in biological systems, while having the potential to be used in favorable macroscale applications which…
Recent generation methods produce 3D assets with detailed geometry and rich textures. However, these assets are non-emissive: they reflect light but emit none.
Spectroscopic diagnostics provide rich information for characterizing plasma states in tokamak fusion experiments, while existing learning-based approaches are often designed for individual tasks and…
Future planetary exploration missions require teams of robots to collaboratively map unknown environments under severe communication limits, constrained onboard computation, and no central…
Radar systems can recover scene geometry and recognize predefined categories, but these outputs do not provide a persistent spatial representation for open-ended language queries. Such queries…
Coverage-evaluation benchmarks quantify whether retrieved evidence covers the different pieces of information needed to satisfy an information need. Existing benchmarks mostly consider factual claims…
Finite element model updating is among the most general approaches to discover constitutive models from structural experiments: since the displacement field is computed rather than measured, it…
Chemical AI workflows routinely represent the same molecule through multiple co-referring identifiers, including trivial names, IUPAC names, and SMILES, implicitly assuming that these representations…
Financial institutions operating under data-residency constraints are restricted to open-weight models small enough to locally host, which trail frontier systems on multi-step quantitative reasoning.…
We study an in-silico substrate in which every pixel of a two-channel cellular-automata grid carries a tiny neural network (an agent) that senses its Moore neighborhood. A cell persists only by…
Industrial manipulation in flexible manufacturing, e.g., high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) electronics assembly, requires robot policies to adapt to changing products and production conditions. Such…
Few-shot semantic segmentation typically identifies target objects based on positive support examples of a single semantic class. In practice, however, positive cues alone are often underspecified:…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate domain-specific commercial & medical content (e.g., claims, statements, and promotional phrases) in regulated industries such as…
A patient who has lost part of the skull vault needs an implant that fits the defect exactly, and such implants are still drawn by hand in CAD by specialists, which makes each case slow and…
A reliable assessment of an optimizer robustness requires tracking controlled changes in parameters to identify sources of algorithmic weakness. Such an approach was applied to the problem of…
Game AI results are comparable only when different implementations expose the same decision problem. Yet seemingly minor representation choices can silently change that problem by altering action…
We present XLaw-JP-27B, an open-weight model specialized for Japanese law that runs on a single 48\,GB GPU under the Apache~2.0 licence. It adapts Qwen3.8-27B with hybrid retrieval over all current…
Large language model agents have begun to carry out laboratory measurements, but their scientific conclusions are useful only if they hold up under scrutiny. Demonstrating this requires controlled…
LLM read-and-evaluate tasks include study screening, data extraction, risk-of-bias assessment, and critical appraisal in the evidence synthesis field. These task differ in the amount of LLM…
Robust manipulation of soft objects, such as garments, is a critical skill for service and household robots to adopt, but remains challenging due to its high-dimensional state space, and…
Large language models (LLMs) have rapidly become a default source of help for students in science and engineering courses. In foundational engineering mechanics courses such as statics, students…
Modern simulators can generate synthetic camera and LiDAR data with accurate annotations for downstream tasks. In contrast, automotive radar simulation remains less mature because it requires not…
