A question about a whole-slide image rarely names every morphological finding needed to answer it. Question-guided patch selection can therefore overlook supporting morphology, while slide-level…
Among existing embedding compression approaches, low-rank factorization provides a simple and mathematically principled solution by approximating the embedding matrix with a reduced-rank…
Long-context continual pre-training (LCCP) is widely used to improve long-context capability, but how its benefits scale with the number of tokens used for LCCP remains unclear. We investigate this…
High linear decodability does not entail causal controllability in continuous-latent text-to-speech (TTS). In VoxCPM2, position-matched probes and equal-norm interventions across 30 speakers and 60…
Knowledge graph question generation (KGQG) generates natural-language questions from structured graph evidence and a target answer. When the input graph is temporal, a valid question must also…
Unlike question answering, where a query specifies a perceptual target, open-ended detailed captioning must determine what evidence to acquire and how to integrate it into a coherent global…
User-facing LLM agents must identify which behavioral policies apply at each turn, but evaluating every policy with an LLM is costly. We introduce Signals and Queries (S&Q), a lightweight first-stage…
Evolutionary coding agents such as AlphaEvolve are one of the notable successes in using Large Language Models (LLMs) to build AI Scientists. These agents tackle open-ended scientific problems by…
Language models are being explored as the interface through which space robots interpret operator commands and select among verified skills. Running them onboard calls for low-bit compression, and…
Finding K most similar elements for a query in a large gallery of neural network (NN) embeddings is essential in various areas of computer science and industrial applications of artificial…
An LLM multi-agent system (MAS) is only as good as the agents it chooses to trust: its accuracy and cost hinge on its topology, meaning which agents are included and how they communicate. A single…
Managed and wild bees sustain roughly a third of the global food products, yet colonies face mounting stress from climate-change including extreme weather patterns, altered parasite and disease…
Agentic search depends on the interface through which a language-model agent accesses and explores a corpus. Existing interface designs are fixed by hand and applied unchanged to every corpus,…
Omni-modal assistants must remember not only what users say, but also what they show and convey. Existing long-term memory benchmarks are mostly text-and-image or report a single end-to-end score, so…
Predictive representations for robot manipulation should connect scene geometry with the state changes induced by actions. Our intuition is that understanding what an action will change starts with…
Dropout and zoneout are routinely added to long short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) networks, but, to our knowledge, their placements have not been crossed with gate…
Open-ended search combined with foundation models has produced advances such as faster algorithms, new results on open mathematical problems, and self-improving agents. We extend this paradigm to…
We study distinguishability and recovery of a sparse rank-one signal in a spiked Wigner model with independently sparse noise through a variety of algorithms and parameter regimes. The signal and…
Long-horizon robotic operation requires memory that scales with essential information rather than execution time. We present a parameter-space memory framework where each episode is stored as a…
Accurate ground plane normal estimation is essential for odometry in spherical mobile mapping systems (SMMS), which face challenges from rapid rotations and limited ground coverage. We propose two…
Planning under uncertain control execution noise requires reliable feedback policies across diverse environments. We introduce Planning Under Noise (PUN), a neural operator that learns noise-aware…
Object-goal navigation (ObjectNav) requires an embodied agent to find an instance of a specified category in an unseen environment and stop near it. The agent typically relies on an object detector…
