Most analyses of neural representations focus on trained endpoints, leaving the process by which internal structure forms comparatively unmeasured. We instead treat representation formation itself as…
As wearable and digital health systems increasingly generate longitudinal physiological records, communicating these observations in patient-accessible language remains a significant challenge. Large…
Reusable skills allow large language model agents to package task-specific procedures, tool affordances, and execution guidance into modular units. Prior work has largely studied how agents retrieve,…
Long-horizon coding agents can observe a failure and generate a plausible critique yet continue along the same incorrect trajectory. We call this the Critique-to-Action Handoff Gap.
Generative modeling for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) remains fundamentally challenged by the need to capture the intricate interplay between discrete topological connectivity and precise spatial…
Language models (LMs) often exhibit successful cross-lingual transfer through continued (pre)training, still their underlying process remains unclear. One possibility is that LMs can leverage the…
Fine-grained image-text retrieval requires a model not only to assess global semantic consistency between an image and a text, but also to model visual evidence for local textual semantics, including…
On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) improves reasoning by training a model on its own trajectories with dense token-level supervision from a privileged copy conditioned on a reference solution.…
Visual perception should be iterative and task-directed, with representations refined in response to the question and the need for further processing. While Vision-Language Models (VLMs) increasingly…
Loco-manipulation extends the workspace of conventional manipulation by combining mobility with physical interaction, while aerial loco-manipulation further expands this capability into…
This paper presents AgentDP, which aims to deploy pre-trained AI models on heterogeneous embedded devices by fully automating model optimization and adaptation (O&A) with Large Language Model (LLM)…
Existing datasets on cultural knowledge have been typically created by human annotators familiar with each culture. However, the process requires considerable human effort, presenting a significant…
Generating graph signals is an important task in machine learning, and incorporating the underlying graph into a generative model enables structurally-informed distribution modeling. However, said…
Alarms in industrial systems and scientific instruments often demand immediate diagnosis despite scarce incident data. To guide intervention, an explanation must trace how changes in the…
Deep latent variable models (DLVMs) underpin many modern analysis pipelines, for example in single-cell genomics, yet their prior distributions have received markedly little attention. The VampPrior…
Cox processes provide a principled Bayesian nonparametric framework for modeling event-based data through an underlying intensity function. However, existing inference methods for estimating the…
Clinical sleep medicine repeatedly documents profound divergences between objective sleep duration and subjective daytime impairment, notably exemplified by sleep state misperception in paradoxical…
We propose a new spiking neural network (SNN) design to process static images and event streams using time-to-first-spike (TTFS) latencies. Our key research question is which architectural choices…
Neurons in the visual system are selective for specific spatial and temporal stimulus features, described by their \emph{receptive field}. Estimating one means a coefficient per pixel per time bin…
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) predictors that supervise only the task label suffer from reasoning shortcuts: distinct concept mappings achieve the same maximum likelihood, leaving the recovered concepts…
Training generative models on synthetic data causes loss of diversity and a decrease in performance, a phenomenon known as model collapse. We study this degeneration spectrally in a controlled Markov…
A benchmark is not merely a collection of test questions; it naturally induces an empirical measure over difficulty. In this work, we develop this measure-based view of benchmark evaluation.
Code-switching is a natural linguistic phenomenon, yet its impact on high-level reasoning tasks remains largely unexplored in under-resourced languages like Romanian. Natural language processing…
