Interactive world generation requires models to follow successive commands while preserving relevant history and action consequences. We present Hy-Nomas, a video world model with an 8B diffusion…
Diffusion vision-language models (DVLMs) process their entire input at every denoising step. Since visual tokens make up 89-97% of this input on the benchmarks we study, most of the decoding…
Building virtual embodied agents that operate in open-ended games like human players is a long-standing goal requiring both long-horizon autonomy and reliable native-interface control. As a…
Motion Diffusion Models (MDMs) can generate diverse and visually appealing human motion; yet, the resulting trajectories frequently violate physical constraints, limiting their downstream use in…
Reasoning LLMs often continue reasoning after reaching a correct answer, wasting computation and sometimes replacing it with an incorrect one. Deciding when to stop is a metareasoning problem: the…
AI-generated text detectors are increasingly deployed in consequential settings---peer review, education, admissions, journalism, and content moderation---where their outputs directly affect…
Vision-language models (VLMs) are exact on small sets and drift into estimation on larger ones, a profile reminiscent of children before they master counting. Children cross the barrier with…
Engineering design tools increasingly embed optimizers as ready-made components that users select by algorithm name, while operator settings and bound, integer and duplicate handling stay fixed…
We propose a new framework for banner ad auctions, leveraging diffusion models to allow for multiple bidders to co-win a single banner ad opportunity, and in particular influence the ad shown on the…
Generating an image with a diffusion or flow-matching model typically involves integrating a velocity field for hundreds of sequential steps. That computation suits a GPU poorly and an analog…
Sensing-aided beam prediction can reduce the beam-training overhead of millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems by leveraging environmental information from complementary modalities such as vision and…
Stochastic cell updates are often used throughout the life of a neural cellular automaton (NCA), from backpropagation through time to final rollout. This leaves two questions entangled: does update…
Convolutional EEG decoders are trained at a fixed width, usually set by their authors on other data. Growing methods add neurons during training where the loss could decrease the most, but whether…
Continuous-time sensing and monitoring with timely and accurate decision-making are critical for many real-world applications. In healthcare monitoring systems, physiological signals are often…
Physical reservoir computing uses nonlinear dynamics and a trained linear readout to process information. Nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) resonators combine geometric Duffing nonlinearity with fading…
One-step and few-step text-to-image generation must accurately render the details specified in the prompt despite limited opportunities for refinement. Distribution matching distillation (DMD) uses…
Discrete visual tokens represent vision in a discrete form analogous to language, offering a native interface for multimodal modeling under a shared next-token prediction objective. However,…
Video captioning aims to preserve visual information through compact descriptions, predominantly using natural language. However, precisely expressing fine-grained spatial structures and temporal…
Multimodal intelligence can be viewed as human-guided co-evolution between worlds and agents through interaction. However, scaling this process faces two bottlenecks: constructing heterogeneous,…
Embodied agents are expected to accomplish real-world goals by deciding for themselves how and when to interact with their surroundings. For many such goals, changing the physical state of the world…
Training a spatial VLM to answer which side an object lies on does not require it to preserve the metric displacement that determines that answer, while supervision for a distance estimate may leave…
