Enterprise agents act on documents. Before an agent can follow a policy, answer a compliance question or file a ticket, some ingestion layer must turn a Word file or PDF into tokens - and that layer…
Long-term memory for multimodal agents remains challenging, as it must preserve fine-grained visual evidence while tracking entity evolution across sessions. Existing abstraction-based memories…
Transformer-based models achieve strong performance on blind compressed image restoration (CIR) under unknown compression settings, but their densely stacked projection operators make deployment…
Thermal cameras can watch over older people living alone without capturing faces, and multimodal large language models (LLMs) can judge a short video without task-specific training. We evaluate a…
Code-switching is a natural linguistic phenomenon, yet its impact on high-level reasoning tasks remains largely unexplored in under-resourced languages like Romanian. Natural language processing…
Learning across medical imaging modalities requires making use of images without paired text and accommodating new domains while retaining existing representations. We propose a medical…
Geometric structure is essential for robotic manipulation and understanding the 3D world. Most VLA models rely on 2D representations of current observations, while geometry-aware approaches often…
How do diffusion transformers (DiTs) represent image content and learn rules for reusing it to generalize? We develop an aggregator--predictor view of DiTs as input-adaptive local denoisers, in which…
Autonomous mobile robots operating in dense crowds and cluttered sites require $360^\circ$ perception to react to surrounding hazards. While panoramic LiDAR offers full-surround coverage, learning…
Movement primitives commonly represent robot mo- tions through basis functions indexed by time or phase. Inspired by spacetime representations employed in physics, we propose a spline-based…
Vision-language perception has achieved impressive progress in aligning natural language with visual observations, yet grounding high-level semantics into part-level physical interaction remains…
With the advent of foundation models, robots are increasingly capable of understanding and executing explicitly specified human tasks. Extending these capabilities to open-ended tasks, however,…
Compact chest X-ray (CXR) models that localize findings suit deployment, but box annotations are limited and report-aware multimodal models are expensive at inference. We introduce APED-CXR, which…
We present SpatialDex, a framework that learns 3D-grounded bimanual dexterity from RGB-only human videos through reconstruction-augmented visuomotor pre-training. The central idea is to learn human…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) show promising reasoning capabilities, but reliable physical interaction requires planning that accounts for when actions are executable and how they change…
During steady pouring, images and robot pose may remain nearly unchanged while transferred mass accumulates, making the return decision ambiguous for a whole-task vision-language-action (VLA) policy.…
Pixel language models process text as rendered images instead of a finite vocabulary, which gives them strong cross-lingual transfer abilities. However, not much is known about how these abilities…
As social agents become embedded in human relationships, they are expected not only to provide smooth assistance but also to handle rejection, discomfort, jealousy, persistence, and other forms of…
Object detection models for autonomous driving commonly experience substantial performance drops when deployed under adverse weather due to the domain shift between training data and real-world…
Edge medical segmentation must reconcile small model size, high accuracy, and fast inference. TernScope addresses this tradeoff through model--hardware co-design, learning a compact segmentation…
Perceptive locomotion policies typically observe a dense robot-centric elevation map, although only the terrain beneath and around the next footsteps informs the control decision. Learned encoders…
Despite the success of foundation models in image synthesis, achieving fine-grained spatial control remains a significant challenge, typically requiring auxiliary structural adapters or complex…
