Vision-language-action (VLA) models have shown promise in robotic manipulation, but imitation learning (IL) alone often struggles to master complex long-horizon skills. Reinforcement learning (RL)…
Today's multimodal assistants are typically prompted to interpret the visual evidence presented to them. To offload the cognitive burden of remembering across long horizons, wearable assistants…
Enterprise agents act on documents. Before an agent can follow a policy, answer a compliance question or file a ticket, some ingestion layer must turn a Word file or PDF into tokens - and that layer…
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frequently integrates knowledge graphs (KGs) for complex multi-hop question answering. However, their performance is increasingly bottlenecked by the knowledge…
A benchmark is not merely a collection of test questions; it naturally induces an empirical measure over difficulty. In this work, we develop this measure-based view of benchmark evaluation.
Learning across medical imaging modalities requires making use of images without paired text and accommodating new domains while retaining existing representations. We propose a medical…
Geometric structure is essential for robotic manipulation and understanding the 3D world. Most VLA models rely on 2D representations of current observations, while geometry-aware approaches often…
General-purpose robots must handle tasks, objects and environments they were never trained on, yet zero-shot generalization remains one of the least solved problems in physical AI. In digital AI,…
Vision-language perception has achieved impressive progress in aligning natural language with visual observations, yet grounding high-level semantics into part-level physical interaction remains…
Vision-language-action (VLA) policies need to recognize gaps in their training knowledge to request useful demonstrations or assistance in new situations, especially when failures are costly.…
Large-scale aerial resources provide a foundation for learning navigation across diverse environments. However, existing resources remain limited in providing (1) densely sampled flight…
LLM-generated records increasingly populate production information systems where they are treated as data assets subject to the same quality expectations as records from operational databases. A…
The deployment of small and quantized language models in resource-constrained settings raises an important fairness question: when a compressed model produces fewer biased responses, does this…
Many robotic construction applications, such as progress tracking, require registering a sensor trajectory to a prior 2D floor plan. Visual capture is attractive for its low cost and availability,…
Large language models (LLMs) have been explored as surrogates for human survey respondents. A more promising application is data augmentation, where LLMs predict new responses from partial human data.
In remote sensing, open-vocabulary segmentation is particularly important for flexible and scalable land-cover understanding across diverse regions, as it improves generalization to novel categories…
Diffusion language models generate by iteratively denoising a masked sequence under bidirectional attention, without the strict left-to-right commitment of autoregressive decoding. Whether this…
Despite the success of foundation models in image synthesis, achieving fine-grained spatial control remains a significant challenge, typically requiring auxiliary structural adapters or complex…
Existing paired clean-degraded datasets have advanced learning-based underwater image enhancement, but they remain either limited in scale or difficult to acquire, and still fail to adequately cover…
Training modern AI models has become increasingly expensive, and updating deployed models can alter their internal feature representations, affecting applications built upon them. In retrieval…
Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have seen broad adoption, but their biases are still far less examined than those of standard LLMs, creating possible social harms when deployed in…
In this report, we introduce pplx-embed-v2-late, a pair of 0.6B and 9B multilingual and multimodal late-interaction models. Both models achieve state-of-the-art results within their respective size…
Retrieval-based in-context learning (ICL) enables large language models (LLMs) to predict tabular labels from similar examples, but it remains unclear whether LLM inference improves on direct voting…
High-fidelity 4D physical simulation requires accurate physical parameter assignments that align with diverse material properties. Previous methods struggle with critical bottlenecks: they either…
