Safety in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) depends on unsafe multimodal data for post-training alignment or activation steering. However, such data is hard to collect, must be gathered anew…
Industrial manipulation in flexible manufacturing, e.g., high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) electronics assembly, requires robot policies to adapt to changing products and production conditions. Such…
Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have enabled them to act as autonomous agents, creating and editing 3D models via code or direct software manipulation. In practical…
Agent Skills improve LLM agents by making task knowledge reusable across sessions. Learning transferable Skills requires evidence about a procedure and its conditions of use, which a successful task…
Expanding the vocabulary of conditional text-to-speech (TTS) models typically requires extensive fine-tuning with paired audio, creating a major bottleneck for low-resource and cross-lingual…
While LLM agents are increasingly capable of gathering and synthesizing evidence from a single homogeneous source, such as structured tables or unstructured data, real-world analytical questions…
When a speaker says ``some students passed'', listeners infer that not all of them did. Reasoning models now let users decide how long a model thinks before it answers, but we do not know what extra…
Language-model agents that run long tasks often redo work they have already done: they re-issue a tool call they made earlier and get back exactly the same observation, a step that adds no new…
Text-to-image (T2I) platforms typically return several images per prompt so users can explore different visual interpretations and choose one that matches their intent. However, T2I models are…
Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding (STVG) aims to jointly localize a target in space and time given a natural-language query. Despite continued advances, existing STVG benchmarks remain largely centered…
Few-shot semantic segmentation typically identifies target objects based on positive support examples of a single semantic class. In practice, however, positive cues alone are often underspecified:…
Effective test-time personalization requires LLM agents to adapt to query-dependent user preferences from lightweight interaction. We study persona selection with binary comparisons between candidate…
Improving every agent in an LLM-based multi-agent system can be prohibitively costly, making it important to identify which agent should be prioritized to achieve the greatest system-level gain with…
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have shown strong promise for generalist robotic manipulation, but their inference cost remains a major bottleneck for real-time control. This limitation is…
Large language models (LLMs) deployed as conversational agents are increasingly expected to follow procedural logic. While factual hallucination has received extensive attention, a different failure…
3D part assembly aims to reconstruct a complete shape from a set of unassembled parts by predicting a rigid SE(3) transformation for each part. Because the placement of a part is rarely determined by…
Long-horizon, semi-verifiable agentic tasks often rely on rubric-based evaluation, but the evidence needed to assess these tasks can be spread across the environment state and the execution trace. A…
Memory has become integral to the LLM agent ecosystem, supporting information retention and reuse across interactions. However, most existing agent memory systems construct memory in a query-agnostic…
