Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) systems using 5G and beyond signals of opportunity enable joint wireless sensing and communication using shared infrastructure and spectrum resources.…
Decoding sensory-evoked functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data is a central analytical tool in cognitive neuroscience. Here we ask whether self-supervised learning (SSL), which has been…
Robotic grippers operating in unstructured environments must robustly grasp objects of different shapes and sizes despite perception and positioning errors. Soft grippers that can achieve this…
The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) has been widely employed for feature selection in linear models and has also been extended to multi-layer perceptron (MLP) networks for…
Planning at run time, as in robots that re-plan while they act, needs a planner that reads the PDDL its users write (durative actions, numeric resources, time windows, continuous change), answers…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems provide critical computation services in the Manufacturing Industrial Internet (MII), and their resilience depends on timely diagnosis of hazards across the data,…
Learning-based traffic signal control (TSC) has achieved promising performance, but most methods rely on structured traffic states that must be estimated from sensor observations in real deployments.…
Sequential recommenders typically construct history inputs from item identifiers or content features using an embedding map shared across users. The same item therefore yields the same initial…
Modern robot learning systems feed on high-quality demonstration data, and their performance hinges on coverage. Without good coverage, small errors compound and the policy can quickly go into…
In reinforcement learning (RL), temporal reasoning is essential for estimating the density of future outcomes under a policy's occupancy measure. While self-predictive representations have been a…
Simulation is essential for testing automated driving systems (ADS), but discrepancies between simulation and reality can undermine testing conclusions. It remains unclear which discrepancies the…
We present EmbeddingGemma 2, an open multimodal embedding model which natively represents text, images, audio, video, and combinations thereof in a unified space. Our approach introduces improvements…
Autonomous vehicles in enclosed spaces such as tunnels and mines rely on range maps that smoke, dust and fog make inaccurate. Conformal prediction calibrates a keepout around the mapped walls that…
Spacecraft-mounted robotic manipulators can support long-term operability of orbiting assets by conducting tasks such as on-orbit assembly, repair, upgrade, and refueling. In this context, the…
We introduce the conditional expected local radius (CELR) and develop a new conformal prediction method for non-Euclidean responses in general metric spaces. CELR measures local conditional…
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) excel at 2D recognition but often fail to maintain consistent 3D relations across sparse viewpoints, leading to spatial hallucinations under occlusion and perspective…
In real-world clinical settings, dental X-ray segmentation using deep learning methods suffers from reliability issues. Even when the segmentation quality is bad, deep learning models show high…
In token-priced language model services, users can see the prompts they submit and the answers they receive, but may also pay for internal reasoning and candidate answers that are not shown in the…
World Action Models (WAMs) have emerged as a promising approach to learning generalist robot policies using rich spatiotemporal priors from pre-trained video diffusion models. A recent line of WAMs…
This paper addresses the problem of creating immersive volumetric videos from sparse and low-resolution capture resources. Conventional dense multi-view reconstruction methods can produce…
Legal Question Answering (QA) over statutory texts is a challenging task in Natural Language Processing (NLP), especially in low-resource settings with complex legal systems. It requires answers that…
High-quality articulated assets are essential for embodied perception, simulation, and manipulation, yet constructing them at scale remains difficult. Manual annotation and procedural modeling…
Looping in transformer models reuses weights by repeatedly applying the same transformer, or parts of it, making the model deeper without increasing its parameter count. Whether looping is useful…
Earth embeddings are compressed representations of rich Earth observation data that enable downstream models to tackle a wide range of complex geospatial tasks. Yet, this increase in performance…
