Engineering design frequently involves redesigning a prior solution to adapt to changes in context, such as material prices or system requirements. Redesign often leverages simulators too complex…
Recent work in additive manufacturing and neural inverse design enables the creation of complex three-dimensional structures to manipulate physical fields, yet these designs must also adhere to…
Learning visual design is essential for prompt enhancement (PE) to turn underspecified user requests into coherent visual specifications for text-to-image (T2I) generation. Existing methods preserve…
Single-image 3D scene construction is a fundamental problem in 3D vision. Recent methods such as SAM-3Dfy enable end-to-end reconstruction of 3D assets and their scene layouts, but still struggle…
Can large language model (LLM) agents deliver expert-level operations research (OR) solutions directly from original client materials, without prior expert reformulation? Existing OR benchmarks…
Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have enabled them to act as autonomous agents, creating and editing 3D models via code or direct software manipulation. In practical…
An image's original dimensions, aspect ratio, and composition provide important cues that can affect its technical and aesthetic quality. Image assessment methods use resizing, cropping, padding, or…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly capable, yet they produce wrong answers indistinguishable from correct ones. In question answering (QA), such an error propagates unnoticed into…
Dropwise condensation is key to power and water systems. State-of-the-art condensation surfaces are often inhomogeneous, either patterned by design or random defects.
Streaming audio-visual target speaker extraction (AVTSE) is essential for latency-sensitive applications. However, current causal systems face two coupled gaps.
Counterfactual explanation methods have been introduced for unimodal settings, with dedicated frameworks for tabular, timeseries, text, and image data, yet no post-hoc method has been designed for…
Chemical language models can struggle to generate new molecules when trained on small datasets, where a model may reproduce training examples rather than learn a useful generative distribution.…
Scientific reasoning in specialized engineering fields depends on knowledge scattered across the literature, often proprietary and absent from frontier LLM training data. In such domains, frontier…
Spatial audio authoring coordinates source decisions with soundfield synthesis. For editing, plans specify what to change and retain, while reference audio supplies further acoustic detail.
Detailed image captioning is usually framed as an amount problem: a model should mention more visual facts while avoiding hallucination. However, autoregressive VLMs generate captions as ordered…
Training-free few-step samplers are often described as nearly quality-lossless under conventional FID/CLIP-style evaluation. It remains unclear whether that conclusion transfers to more realistic and…
Cancer care is a longitudinal, time-sensitive process requiring coordination among diverse healthcare professionals (HCPs), whose collaboration evolves throughout treatment. Prior studies link care…
Neural speech codecs provide discrete tokens for speech generation. Lower frame rates shorten token sequences, but each token must then carry more linguistic and acoustic information.
When humans collaborate with AI agents on long-horizon tasks, what happens to the agents' contributions? For solving long-horizon tasks, humans place greater importance on ongoing interaction with AI…
World models enable embodied agents to anticipate action consequences, yet jointly modeling locomotion and manipulation across diverse embodiments remains challenging due to heterogeneous action…
Several discrete design tasks, such as molecular discovery, require diverse collections of useful candidates at low computational cost. High validity alone does not guarantee a useful candidate…
Existing sequential recommenders usually allocate a fixed computational budget to every item in a user's interaction history, regardless of the item's contribution to the final prediction. We…
