We propose FiLM-CAM; a conditional-access image watermarking approach that enforces authorized encoding, decoding, and removal through keyed feature modulation. A secret key conditions a Feature-wise…
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems face security, privacy, and copyright risks including content leakage, source reconstruction, unauthorized access, data poisoning, and prompt injection.…
We prove a self-normalized Bernstein inequality for bounded functions of a regenerative process with independent, identically distributed marked cycles of finite mean length. The bound uses observed…
Adaptive experiments use bandit algorithms to favor interventions with higher expected rewards. However, decision-makers also require reliable inference on current treatment effects: differences…
This paper describes our submission to the WMT 2026 Multilingual Instruction Shared Task. We adapt Qwen3-8B with LoRA using organiser-provided data, EuroAlpaca, a multilingual instruction dataset…
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a fundamental tool for statistical dimension reduction, yet no canonical extension to distribution-valued data has emerged within the framework of optimal…
Long-term agent memory is shifting from predefined workflows toward learnable policies for memory construction and retrieval. Existing learning-based methods either optimize construction alone or…
This article investigates the joint-angle invariance (JAI) of Jacobian-based performance indices for serial robotic manipulators. We identify kinematic conditions under which representative…
Agent harnesses have become a central component of modern agentic systems, shaping how models use tools, manage context, and coordinate long-horizon interaction. Realizing the benefits of these…
Robust and reactive collision avoidance remains a central challenge for deploying Reinforcement Learning (RL) policies on real robotic manipulators, particularly when transferring behaviours learned…
Modern robotic agents are increasingly expected to support steerable control, where a single policy can adjust its behavioral style at runtime under changing user preferences. Preference-conditioned…
Large retail chains must tailor assortment and pricing decisions to local customer preferences, yet even retailers with extensive sales records often have limited data for estimating demand at the…
Learned priors are used to reconstruct regions that measurements barely reach, and to report uncertainty there. They can fail silently: the reported interval excludes the truth while every…
Full conformal prediction offers finite-sample marginal coverage guarantees under exchangeability, but exact computation can be costly, while its classical guarantees do not directly extend to…
Data attribution methods for Language Models (LMs) are typically evaluated using downstream tasks like fact retrieval. However, existing evaluations vary multiple dataset properties simultaneously,…
Luggage re-identification (ReID) is a critical task in video surveillance for forensics, security or border management (suspicious or abandoned luggage recognition), as well as luggage management…
Realistic, fast robotics simulations could enable large-scale training of embodied AI models that transfer to the real world. However, despite decades of progress, available simulations cover only a…
Long-context models repeatedly solve closely related retrieval problems. Attention or global retrieval can retain large stores, but each forward pass again searches for what matters.
Cross-modal scene and instance retrieval aims to retrieve a corresponding 3D environment or object given query 2D images, serving as a foundational mechanism for spatial reasoning in robotics and…
Early prediction of ICU organ dysfunction events supports timely clinical monitoring and intervention, but estimating short-term organ-specific risk from early ICU records remains challenging due to…
Complex questions in retrieval-augmented generation require evidence spread over several documents, and an answer is reliable only when the retriever finds all of it. Chain embedding retrievers…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated promising capabilities in robotic manipulation by integrating visual perception, language understanding, and action generation. Recent advances…
In-context imitation learning (ICIL) adapts robot policies through test-time demonstrations, but long multimodal trajectories constrain how many examples fit in context. We ask what a compressed…
