Complex information seeking on the Web often requires collecting evidence from multiple documents and reasoning across them, as in multi-hop question answering. Multi-agent systems address such tasks…
We present an inference-time approach that enhances the visual diversity of image sets generated by text-to-image models, without compromising the average image quality. Our method leverages the…
Noise synthesis is commonly approached through physical models of image formation or neural networks trained to generate noisy images. We explore a middle ground: an explicit statistical model fitted…
Prompt-tuning has emerged as a parameter-efficient technique for adapting large-scale vision-language models (VLMs) to downstream tasks while keeping the pre-trained weights frozen. However,…
Long-horizon consistency is essential for video world models, yet it becomes difficult to maintain once observed content falls outside the context window. Existing memory mechanisms either retrieve…
Second language learners benefit from exposure to level-appropriate grammar in interactive language use. While prompted frontier language models can usually produce target grammar structures, less…
Visual grounding is crucial for robots to understand language instructions with visual observations. This paper addresses the problem of visual grounding uncertainties, where a robot uses a black-box…
As Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly participate in persistent social environments, understanding their long-term social interaction capabilities becomes increasingly important. While…
An uncertainty estimate is meaningful only if its semantics can be tied to observable predictive behavior. Normal-Inverse-Gamma (NIG) evidential regression provides a structured decomposition of…
Deep search agents extend language models by interleaving reasoning with external retrieval. However, effective search-agent training requires addressing two challenges beyond final-answer…
Event cameras offer microsecond temporal resolution, high dynamic range and no motion blur, but referring video object segmentation (RVOS) lacks event-stream datasets and models. We introduce…
Large language models (LLMs) draw on parametric knowledge and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to solve knowledge-intensive tasks. Yet problem solving in unfamiliar domains calls for tightly…
Electric vehicles produce no tailpipe emissions, but charging them produces emissions that depend on the time-varying generation mix of the electricity consumed. We study an Electric Vehicle Routing…
Failures of deployed clinical artificial intelligence (AI) systems have often originated in how their training data were generated. Whether the programs that train the health AI workforce teach…
Crowd simulation aims to generate agent behaviours that are rich, natural, and appropriate to their surrounding environment. Recent advances in Machine Learning have enabled such behavioural patterns…
Traditional neural solvers for solving vehicle routing problems (VRPs) often suffer from limited solution diversity, motivating the development of Generative Flow Network (GFlowNet)-based models.…
Giving embodied agents the freedom to act autonomously, initiate interactions, and understand their surroundings through experience is a step toward bringing them to life in the physical world.…
Chatbots are increasingly consulted about public affairs, and their judgments of policies are useful only if they are robust. We measure this robustness in the setting of an ordinary user, through…
Research on medical item difficulty has largely focused on prediction rather than on identifying interpretable patterns associated with empirical difficulty. This study used empirical difficulty…
Accurate time series forecasting (TSF) is essential for Web applications, such as traffic monitoring and online resource management. Recent advances in leveraging pre-trained large language models…
Financial AI systems must support decision-bearing questions involving payments, collections, cash flow, and compliance while ensuring numerical accuracy, traceability, and auditability. Large…
We present XLaw-JP-27B, an open-weight model specialized for Japanese law that runs on a single 48\,GB GPU under the Apache~2.0 licence. It adapts Qwen3.8-27B with hybrid retrieval over all current…
