Deep learning (DL) methods have substantially improved predictive performance across a wide range of downstream prediction tasks, enabling new discoveries in multiple domains. However, principled DL…
Scaling embedding capacity alongside Transformer computation is an emerging trend in language models. This trend makes high compression rates increasingly useful.
Memory enables language agents to carry useful distinctions from past experience into future decisions. Its value depends on which distinctions survive, whether a bounded agent can use them, and what…
Search is a central component of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems and has been deeply investigated for classical ASR modeling based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). However, in work on…
A strong direct tree model may remain the best standalone photovoltaic forecaster, yet a weighted combination can reduce its residual errors. We examine whether complementary temporal predictors can…
Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) learn world models in latent space, enabling efficient planning but leaving their states opaque. We introduce Inside-JEPA, which places relational…
Computer-model calibration is usually undertaken in service of prediction, yet neither Bayesian Kennedy-O'Hagan (KOH) calibration nor amortized simulation-based inference is built to control the…
Building virtual embodied agents that operate in open-ended games like human players is a long-standing goal requiring both long-horizon autonomy and reliable native-interface control. As a…
Wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU) systems for construction worker human activity recognition (HAR) routinely report aggregate accuracies above 95 %, rarely under genuine subject-independent…
We study an intermediary that buys nonperishing items from arriving sellers and sells them to arriving buyers, subject to limited storage. Sellers and buyers arrive according to independent Poisson…
Aggregating CNN responses into a compact discriminative vector, given their lack of geometric invariance, is a challenge. To address this challenge, we propose a codebook-free method to encode…
Long-context models often use answer-bearing evidence less effectively when it appears away from a prompt boundary. We compare this position bias across Transformer, state-space, and hybrid Mamba…
Real-world deployment of personalized federated learning (PFL) requires adapting to heterogeneous clients while preserving recognition performance beyond local distributions. However, high local…
Offline tests can fail to reveal whether an agent update will remain safe after deployment. We operationalize this post-audit mirage using matched safe and harmful lifecycles that expose identical…
The performance of medical image segmentation depends on a large amount of annotated data, and most segmentation models experience a significant drop in performance in low-sample-size scenarios.…
Content warning: this paper quotes slurs and hateful statements from published test suites; the racial slur among them is masked. Automated systems decide at scale which messages are harmful, and…
Chunking strategies for retrieval-augmented generation are almost always evaluated on a static snapshot, yet the documents underlying a knowledge base continue to change. Because chunks are embedded…
Electroencephalography (EEG)-to-language models offer a promising approach for translating complex neural signals into human-readable descriptions. However, generating plausible language does not…
This paper presents TRACE, a traversability-aware reactive navigation framework designed for the autonomous operation of ground robots in unstructured forest environments. Unlike traditional…
Personal agents need to draw on long-term interaction history to retrieve and apply external knowledge suited to a user's current request. Even an answer grounded in relevant documents can be…
Robust manipulation of soft objects, such as garments, is a critical skill for service and household robots to adopt, but remains challenging due to its high-dimensional state space, and…
Random projections (RP) offer an effective method for reducing computational and storage overhead while preserving the geometric structure of data. However, existing studies have primarily focused on…
We propose a market-making game played among $N \ge 2$ strategic market makers and a single non-strategic representative trader. In a continuous quote space, standard finite-game arguments do not…
Agents that call tools from a shared catalog can pool what they learn about which tool serves which request. We measure what pooled usage examples do to tool retrieval, reporting separately the…
