How search strategies evolve in finite, depletable landscapes remains a question in foraging theory. We study this problem with an evolutionary simulation in which agents forage on a two-dimensional…
Neuromorphic spiking neural networks (SNNs) offer a promising alternative to conventional deep neural networks for tasks with computational resource or data constraints. However, their practical…
Every day, people continuously infer situational context and adjust the way they understand and remember the world. Context, signaled by the prefrontal cortex, is known to modulate working memory and…
Recent advances in agentic heuristic design use AI agents and execution feedback to automate algorithm discovery for challenging optimization problems. In many practical settings, high-quality…
Continual Graph Learning (CGL) aims to incrementally learn from graph-structured data while preserving knowledge acquired from previous tasks. A major challenge in this setting is catastrophic…
Mathematical expressions and the numerical behavior they produce are two views of the same underlying function, and connecting them is central to scientific discovery. Symbolic Regression (SR) relies…
Quantum-inspired evolutionary optimization (QIEO) represents design variables as a set of qubits and searches a continuous, multi-dimensional landscape through rotation of the qubit's amplitude pair.…
Modern deep neural networks treat parameters as static floating-point matrices stored in physical memory, incurring Von Neumann memory bottlenecks and representation collapse. We formulate Orbital…
Vector Symbolic Algebras project data structures into a hyperdimensional vector space through the application of their vector algebras to randomly generated atomic vector symbols and fractional power…
Automatically generating test inputs for games is challenging, as test generators must master the game to reach advanced program states while also ensuring robustness against the heavy program…
Brain-to-language decoding translates neural activity associated with language production, internal speech and perception into linguistic or expressive outputs. It offers a route to restoring…
Faithfulness is a central concern in legal text summarization, which motivates extractive approaches that select verbatim content traceable to its source. Such methods typically rank paragraphs or…
Multi-task optimization (MTO) addresses a set of optimization tasks simultaneously, often suffering from inaccurate inter-task relationship estimation under limited evaluation budgets, leading to…
Continual learning (CL) in neural networks is a promising learning approach for updating the knowledge of deployed systems based on new data encountered at run time, that have not been learned during…
Single-image 3D generation has achieved high fidelity on curated benchmarks, yet degrades sharply on real-world images with uneven illumination, blur, and occlusions. Purifying such inputs requires…
Purpose: To describe an evidence-aware retrieval evaluation protocol for a clinical retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system over breast lesion management literature, addressing the dependence of…
Counterfactual explanation methods have been introduced for unimodal settings, with dedicated frameworks for tabular, timeseries, text, and image data, yet no post-hoc method has been designed for…
Diffusion models have become strong priors for solving inverse problems. However, nonlinear inverse problems such as phase retrieval remain challenging when multiple measurement-consistent solutions…
\emph{Continuous-space} attacks find prompts that trigger malicious behaviors, such as overthinking, in black-box LLMs by sampling or optimizing over a low-dimensional Gaussian latent space and…
Industrial organizations hold operational knowledge in structured records, such as telemetry, point lists, and transactions, and in unstructured sources, such as manuals, service notes,…
Knowledge graph-to-text (KG-to-text) generation verbalizes a set of knowledge graph triples into fluent natural language. While fine-tuned encoder-decoder models have long been the standard approach,…
We propose a new regression method named Direct Inference on Admissible Sets (Diona) that directly uses samples to estimate the state and its derivatives at a query point, along with their admissible…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate domain-specific commercial & medical content (e.g., claims, statements, and promotional phrases) in regulated industries such as…
