Most analyses of neural representations focus on trained endpoints, leaving the process by which internal structure forms comparatively unmeasured. We instead treat representation formation itself as…
We propose a joint sparse sample weighting and parameter estimation (SWAPE) framework that jointly optimizes model parameters and sample weights to train a model while simultaneously assigning an…
Federated learning trains a shared model across clients without exchanging their data, yet the updates they transmit still leak information about individual records. Enforcing differential privacy is…
Robotic foundation models are typically evaluated through costly closed-loop rollouts, which motivates cheap offline proxies for model capability. The Platonic Representation Hypothesis (PRH)…
Video foundation models have advanced rapidly in understanding and generating visual sequences, while video world models seek to capture the underlying dynamics of the world they depict. Despite…
Auditing whether a text-to-image (T2I) model was fine-tuned on a particular image collection is difficult: a model can absorb collection-level visual characteristics without reproducing training…
Single-image 3D generation has achieved high fidelity on curated benchmarks, yet degrades sharply on real-world images with uneven illumination, blur, and occlusions. Purifying such inputs requires…
Monocular models recover 3D geometry from a single image in one pass, but most assume a pinhole camera and produce distorted geometry on the wide-angle imagery produced by fisheye and panoramic…
Video object removal and injection are reciprocal editing operations between object-present and object-absent video states, yet they differ substantially in training difficulty. Removal can be…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models can perform diverse manipulation tasks directly from visual observations and natural language instructions, but they remain prone to mistakes and unpredictable…
Accuracy on medical examinations is common evidence offered for the clinical use of language models, yet a health system that intends to run an open model on its own hardware needs to know…
Recognizing task completion and failure enables robots to stop upon success and initiate recovery or replanning after failure. Existing methods augment Vision Language Action (VLA) policies with task…
Understanding catastrophic forgetting, in which learning new tasks degrades performance on previously learned tasks, remains a fundamental challenge in continual learning (CL). Existing theoretical…
Privacy auditing empirically assesses privacy leakage by using membership inference attacks to establish lower bounds on privacy loss. We consider an observational auditing setting in which the…
Synthetic biparametric MRI (bpMRI) may help alleviate the limited availability of large and representative prostate MRI datasets for deep learning applications. In this work, we present a conditional…
Open-vocabulary 3D semantic maps have emerged as a key spatial memory representation for long-horizon robot autonomy, enabling robots to reason about objects, their spatial relationships, and past…
KV cache compression for multimodal LLMs usually selects the visual tokens to keep once, at prefill, and reuses that selection for the whole generation. We show that this one-shot selection is…
Agentic robot systems combine language-model reasoning with robot policies to monitor execution and recover from failures. However, reviewing every action chunk incurs substantial overhead, even in…
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have become an important paradigm for robotic manipulation by unifying visual perception, language understanding, and action generation. Since reliable…
With the growth of scientific output, the peer review system is approaching a breaking point: reviewers are increasingly hard to secure, and turnaround times lengthen accordingly. LLM-assisted or…
Computer-use agents increasingly handle private information and act on users' behalf across desktop and web applications, including email. Phishing therefore poses privacy and security risks that…
Visual document understanding is essential for acquiring knowledge from visually rich documents and is attracting growing research interest. Existing surveys emphasize architectures or technical…
Local feature matching is typically formulated for image pairs, although structure-from-motion and visual localization commonly match one reference image against many retrieved or covisible…
