Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong potential to automate heuristic design for NP-hard combinatorial optimization (CO) tasks without human intervention. Recent methods predominantly…
Efficient custom operators are essential for modern deep learning workloads, yet developing high-performance kernels for Ascend NPUs remains slow, expert-intensive, and difficult to automate.…
Single-document LoRA adapters have been proposed as units of knowledge to be merged and retrieved; yet open-book scoring, with the document in the prompt, can credit a document's own adapter (its…
Natural-language interfaces allow users to command robotic systems without interacting directly with mission planners or robotics middleware. Their reliable use depends on robot tool routing, defined…
Generative AI assistants are becoming an advertising medium, embedding sponsored content in their answers. This setting departs from classical position auctions in two ways: an ad's click-through…
Large language models (LLMs) often fail to utilise the context given in the input, resulting in hallucinations or a fallback to parametric knowledge. Context augmentation methods aim to improve model…
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication enables connected vehicles to make safety-critical decisions, but delayed, missing, or incorrect information can compromise driving safety. Systematically…
Language models (LMs) often exhibit successful cross-lingual transfer through continued (pre)training, still their underlying process remains unclear. One possibility is that LMs can leverage the…
Offline contextual pricing often relies on logged observational data, but faces challenges from distributional shifts between training and deployment environments. Distributionally robust…
Driving vision-language-action (VLA) models bring an appealing form of explainability to a safety-critical domain, since a system that can state the reasons for its maneuvers offers the transparency…
Time series foundation models (TSFMs) use self-supervised pretraining to learn reusable representations for downstream tasks such as multivariate time series classification (MTSC). We examine how…
General-purpose embeddings trained on profile similarity often misrank candidates in professional networks, where relevance is inherently complementary rather than symmetric. For example, job seekers…
Fine-grained image-text retrieval requires a model not only to assess global semantic consistency between an image and a text, but also to model visual evidence for local textual semantics, including…
Chemical AI workflows routinely represent the same molecule through multiple co-referring identifiers, including trivial names, IUPAC names, and SMILES, implicitly assuming that these representations…
Population graph learning supports brain disorder diagnosis by sharing information across subjects. Its effectiveness, however, depends on whether the relationships guiding this exchange are relevant…
PowerPoint presentations (PPTs) are a dominant medium for communication across diverse domains, yet high-quality PPT generation still depends heavily on labor-intensive human effort. Recent advances…
We introduce Lean Finder V2, a semantic search framework for Mathlib that disambiguates user queries through complementary model-level adversarial training and input-level query rewriting. Human…
LLM agents can evolve by learning from accumulated experience. Existing approaches extract reusable external knowledge, such as skills and memories, from experience to guide subsequent task solving,…
We study generative reward models (GenRMs) as online preference providers for policy optimization in creative writing. Across Qwen3 reward-model sizes from 0.6B to 14B, Thinking judges trained with…
This paper presents AgentDP, which aims to deploy pre-trained AI models on heterogeneous embedded devices by fully automating model optimization and adaptation (O&A) with Large Language Model (LLM)…
Shadows are observable consequences of latent physical causes, arising from the interaction between illumination, object geometry, and scene structure. A model that understands shadows should be able…
