Chatbots are increasingly consulted about public affairs, and their judgments of policies are useful only if they are robust. We measure this robustness in the setting of an ordinary user, through…
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…
Learning task progress from robot demonstrations provides a practical way to construct dense shaping rewards for robotic reinforcement learning. A common approach uses normalized demonstration time…
In multi-output structured prediction tasks, while only one ground truth label may be provided in the training data, multiple equally valid outputs may be possible, making reliable evaluation a…
Triple set prediction (TSP) is to recover missing relational triples in a knowledge graph by predicting the triple set instead of isolated links. Existing approaches predominantly rely on the…
Local-commerce and food-delivery marketplaces run large ads businesses: across hundreds of thousands of stores, merchants pay to be surfaced on browse and search surfaces, and a ranker decides which…
As large language models (LLMs) reach users worldwide, personal counseling has emerged as one of their most consequential applications, sometimes in life-critical situations. Yet broader access does…
Compositional generalization remains a persistent limitation of transformer language models: even when a model learns to combine known facts correctly in-distribution (ID), the same compositional…
World models let observers explore and interact with generated worlds. Recent work shows that when observers revisit a region, current models often fail to regenerate it consistently.
Contextual embeddings represent chunks of a document with respect to the document's global context. These models are typically trained and evaluated under the assumption that a relevant document…
Autonomous navigation in off-road terrain is commonly achieved using hierarchical control and planning architectures that rely on explicit cost maps and one-way information flow from a high-level…
AI co-scientists have expanded the use of large language models for generating scientific hypotheses and guiding experimental investigation. Here we investigate whether temporal patterns in the…
Ranking aggregation from multiple retrievers is a powerful yet under-explored technique in modern retrieval and RAG systems. We introduce LLM-IRA, the first extension of the quantum-inspired…
Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) learn to predict representations rather than pixels, offering a compact way to model how visual scenes evolve. We ask whether this predictive…
Complex Temporal Knowledge Graph Question Answering (TKGQA) involves more than retrieving facts: the timestamp or validity interval of one fact can constrain the search for another, while multiple…
Medical vision-language models (VLMs) show strong performance in radiology report generation (RRG) and medical visual question answering (Med-VQA), producing free-form clinical descriptions and…
Quadrupedal manipulators can extend their workspace through whole-body interaction, but task-planning agents' capabilities remain limited by their available controllers. We present ELEVATE, a…
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have spurred growing interest in temporal knowledge graph question answering (TKGQA). Most existing methods rely on semantic retrieval augmented…
The external sources retained in our non-systematic audit did not isolate the incremental security or utility effect of consuming /llms.txt while ordinary retrieval remained fixed. The initial audit…
Visual foundation models learn rich pathological morphology but lack explicit concept-level supervision. Vision--language pretraining can provide this supervision but requires costly image--text…
Reliable legal information retrieval must ground legal reasoning in authoritative statutory sources. In Arabic judicial settings, long factual narratives must be mapped to concise articles that…
