Vision-language-action (VLA) robustness is commonly summarized by aggregate task success, which obscures how individual executions change under distribution shifts and where failures emerge in…
Interactive world models generate visual content conditioned on user actions, yet maintaining spatial consistency over long-horizon exploration in real time remains challenging. Existing approaches…
Prediction models degrade when the deployment population differs from the one used to train them, and training data cannot say which feature-response relationships will transfer. Expert elicitation…
Modern Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) im- plementations now connect edge gateways, cloud dashboards and business applications. This improves visibility and remote monitoring.
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.…
Semiconductor manufacturing is a complex, multi-step process that requires both high precision and low operating costs. Therefore, detecting defects in a high-volume setting is an important component…
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…
Automated animal re-identification from photograph sequences can facilitate minimally invasive Capture-Mark-Recapture studies at scale. Yet, photographs taken during an observation session can vary…
For a time-homogeneous Markov process, the fixed-lag solution operator \( (T_τf)(x)=\mathbb E[f(X_{t+τ})\mid X_t=x] \) of the Kolmogorov backward equation evolves observables linearly and…
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…
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.…
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…
Learning independence is fundamental to statistical inference and machine learning, yet learning independence between entire time series by a test remains challenging when only a single observation…
Subpixel mapping (SPM) of crop types from \SI{250}{m} Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) time series to field-scale Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) labels supports acreage…
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…
Active simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) addresses the problem of planning robot motion to build complete and accurate maps of unknown environments through efficient exploration while…
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…
Multimodal perception forms the foundation of multimodal intelligence. In particular, spatial perception and multimodal long-context understanding are two pivotal tasks that underpin embodied AI and…
Field applications in chemical sensing, from portable safety monitors to mobile robots, require models that are lightweight, fast to respond, and can be recalibrated from limited labelled data.…
The interpretability of complex neural networks remains a critical challenge, especially for models already deployed in high-stakes domains. To address this, we adapted the Feature Selection Layer…
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…
Modern cameras correct color via two or three pre-calibrated 3x3 matrices interpolated by Correlated Color Temperature (CCT). This collapses the illuminant SPD to a scalar.
