Federated hypergraph learning with latent cross-client hyperedge correspondence poses fundamental identifiability and computational challenges, as the same local release can correspond to multiple…
With the growing success of diffusion models in computer vision, we explore their potential for same-identity facial replacement in photographs. Specifically, we propose a diffusion-based method,…
Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly prompted with personas, such as "You have low vision", to stand in for people in user studies. We ask whether a persona makes a model see like the…
Fine manipulation requires robots to recognize when a grasped object makes or changes contact with its environment, yet such extrinsic contact is not always directly observable from vision or local…
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) makes a language model solve more problems on the first try and fewer when given many tries: it raises pass@1 while the base model overtakes it…
Predicting future physical states stands as a central challenge in embodied intelligence. Existing video world models leave 3D dynamics implicit, action-based formulations remain tied to specific…
Continuous Conditional Generative Modeling (CCGM) aims to synthesize high-dimensional data conditioned on continuously valued scalar labels. However, existing continuous diffusion models face severe…
Embodied world models should not only imagine plausible futures, but also perceive the geometric, semantic, and motion structure of the evolving world. We present GenSight, a unified embodied world…
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is increasingly explored as an input representation for 3D perception. Yet it remains unclear how current 3D architectures exploit heterogeneous Gaussian attributes.
Egocentric video has emerged as one of the most scalable sources of data for learning generalizable manipulation priors. Yet, despite its growing use in pretraining robotic policies, it has been…
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…
With the rapid advancement of text-to-image diffusion models, increasingly realistic AI-generated content has raised serious concerns about misuse and copyright infringement. Digital watermarking…
The central bottleneck in visual generation and editing has migrated from achieving pixel-level fidelity to satisfying densely constrained user specifications through increasingly agentic workflows.…
4D perception models, which classify 3D point-cloud videos, are being built into robots, assistive monitoring and AR, yet before deploying one a practitioner cannot check which cue it relies on: how…
Operational strategies for long-horizon robotic tasks require reliable evaluation to determine whether execution is progressing, stalling, regressing, or recovering from errors. Yet real- world robot…
PhysicsNeMo-Mesh is the mesh module of the open-source PhysicsNeMo library. It provides mesh processing similar to PyVista, but on the GPU, in batches, and inside PyTorch's automatic differentiation.
Balatro, a 2024 roguelike deckbuilder, presents three difficulties that have historically derailed reinforcement learning methods: a 3,000-action state-dependent action space, horizons of several…
Catching arbitrary objects requires generalization to novel projectiles and real-time adaptation to unpredictable contact dynamics under noisy visual observations. This paper presents Catch It All!,…
Skywalker Sound, a premier audio post-production facility, operates more than 200 M4 Max Mac Studios on a 10Gb Ethernet network. When not in use by artists, these machines sit idle, representing…
Stance detection in social media is challenging, as interpreting a text often requires understanding the author's perspective. We re-frame political stance detection as an author-informed text…
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…
Images produced by generative models appear strikingly similar to real ones. In this work, we study whether perfection has been reached by generated content in terms of matching the properties of…
Severe blur, downsampling, noise, and compression can erase the identity cues needed to faithfully restore a person's face. We therefore use photographs of the same person as an external source of…
