3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is increasingly explored as an input representation for 3D perception. Yet it remains unclear how current 3D architectures exploit heterogeneous Gaussian attributes.
Dropwise condensation is key to power and water systems. State-of-the-art condensation surfaces are often inhomogeneous, either patterned by design or random defects.
Egocentric video has emerged as one of the most scalable sources of data for learning generalizable manipulation priors. Yet, despite its growing use in pretraining robotic policies, it has been…
In multi-output structured prediction tasks, while only one ground truth label may be provided in the training data, multiple equally valid outputs may be possible, making reliable evaluation a…
With the rapid advancement of text-to-image diffusion models, increasingly realistic AI-generated content has raised serious concerns about misuse and copyright infringement. Digital watermarking…
Diffusion models evolve noisy states toward a learned data distribution, so their sampling behavior depends on the geometry of the representation in which denoising occurs. This dependence is…
Collecting naturalistic human manipulation demonstrations with accurate contact force and hand pose is essential for robot dexterous manipulation policy and foundational world model learning - yet no…
PhysicsNeMo-Mesh is the mesh module of the open-source PhysicsNeMo library. It provides mesh processing similar to PyVista, but on the GPU, in batches, and inside PyTorch's automatic differentiation.
Position auctions require assigning advertisers to positions and determining their display order. Under cascade behavior, earlier clicks prevent users from reaching later placements, coupling the…
Modern interventions increasingly produce object-valued outcomes, such as distributions, covariance matrices, networks, and trees. Existing causal frameworks often exploit special geometry such as…
Reproducing a published 3DGS paper takes weeks of expert engineering before any extension can be proposed. Prior autonomous-research systems read papers, draft hypotheses, and write code, but are…
Quantifying uncertainty in time series forecasting is particularly demanding because sequential data exhibit temporal dependence and are prone to distributional changes. Conformal inference has…
Controlling continuum robots' shape to operate in confined, enclosed environments is challenging, since it cannot rely on external observation. Existing embedded shape sensing methods, although they…
Balatro, a 2024 roguelike deckbuilder, presents three difficulties that have historically derailed reinforcement learning methods: a 3,000-action state-dependent action space, horizons of several…
Industrial systems continuously generate time series that vary in sampling frequency, scale, dynamics, and operating regime. Consequently a single time-series foundation model may not be able to…
Recent generation methods produce 3D assets with detailed geometry and rich textures. However, these assets are non-emissive: they reflect light but emit none.
Skywalker Sound, a premier audio post-production facility, operates more than 200 M4 Max Mac Studios on a 10Gb Ethernet network. When not in use by artists, these machines sit idle, representing…
Stance detection in social media is challenging, as interpreting a text often requires understanding the author's perspective. We re-frame political stance detection as an author-informed text…
Compositional generalization remains a persistent limitation of transformer language models: even when a model learns to combine known facts correctly in-distribution (ID), the same compositional…
Radio-frequency (RF) sensing enables robot ego-motion estimation in darkness, smoke, and fog, yet RF odometry remains challenging because multipath and moving reflectors make cross-frame matching…
Anticipating the motion of nearby objects is critical for safe and efficient robot navigation. Without a proper understanding of what may move, a robot may plan overly conservative, inefficient…
In procedural videogame level design, many existing techniques combine hand-authored level chunks. Some existing analysis techniques also rely on a higher-level graph structure which abstracts the…
