Few-shot voice cloning makes it cheap to produce daily Japanese financial commentary with several synthetic speakers, but kanji words with more than one reading, such as the word for "market" (shijo…
Learning from offline datasets is limited in scalability, as collecting new experience is often costly or unsafe in the real world. World models offer an alternative way to generate new experience…
Proactive agents must decide whether, when, and how far to assist without an explicit request. Existing evaluations often rely on automated scores or binary verdicts, offering limited human diagnosis…
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…
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…
While vast literature on high-dimensional data visualization is available, there are not many works regarding the visualization of feature scorers and their results. Feature scorers are algorithms…
Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates autoregressive inference by leveraging the memory bound nature of decoding, verifying multiple draft tokens in a single forward pass. For mixture-of-experts…
Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) in which a group of players, guided by a Game Master, roleplay a fantasy adventure with simulated combat and improvisational narrative.…
Estimating conditional parameters, such as heterogeneous treatment effects, often requires rich covariate adjustment, even when the parameters are reported along only a few dimensions. Fitting…
Lane-changing (LC) maneuvers are highly challenging vehicle interactions, with substantial implications for traffic safety and efficiency. Developing effective LC strategies for connected and…
In reinforcement learning (RL), temporal reasoning is essential for estimating the density of future outcomes under a policy's occupancy measure. While self-predictive representations have been a…
Graphical models are widely used to represent conditional independence structures, but learning them is challenging when data are fragmented across sources that measure different subsets of variables…
Frontier language models express coherent preferences, but behavioral evidence alone cannot say whether these belong to the model or to a character it portrays. Following Hofstadter's view of the…
Simulation is essential for testing automated driving systems (ADS), but discrepancies between simulation and reality can undermine testing conclusions. It remains unclear which discrepancies the…
Vision-and-Language Navigation in Continuous Environments (VLN-CE) requires instruction-consistent planning and reliable execution under collision constraints. Yet many hierarchical approaches…
We study experimental results of best response dynamics (BRD) in randomly generated weighted action networked multiagent optimization problems where agent utility is the agent's marginal contribution…
Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) can predict internal features associated with model errors, but association alone does not establish causal influence. We study this distinction in multiple-choice question…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems often perform less accurately for speakers of regional dialects, but less is known about how users respond to these limitations and how regional voices…
International climate policy requires coordination among countries whose mitigation decisions impose local costs but generate global benefits. Classical game-theoretic and integrated assessment…
We study conformal prediction under covariate shift with a known covariate density ratio, seeking prediction sets with minimum expected length under the target distribution. For every calibration…
The items of a reflective psychometric scale can be read as a proposal about a construct's structure. Language models make that proposal measurable by converting each item into an embedding, a list…
Graph neural networks (GNNs) rely critically on neighborhood aggregation, yet conventional mean aggregation may fail to capture class-relevant distributional information, particularly in heterophilic…
Structured compliance validation requires determining whether every obligation in a predefined requirement space is satisfied, violated, or unaddressed by a given document. This can be described as a…
