This paper proposes a refinement to existing vision-based portable pipelines for the recognition of graspable object parts. Such pipelines can effectively support automatic grasp selection and…
Recent advances in generative models have enabled highly realistic face forgeries, yet generalizing deepfake detectors to unseen manipulation pipelines remains a major challenge. One critical yet…
Real-world physical sensing exhibits complex, heterogeneous noise patterns that deviate significantly from idealized simulation, posing a fundamental bottleneck for sim-to-real transfer. Existing…
Text-to-image generation models do not explicitly receive the syntactic structure of the prompt, i.e., which word modifies which and where each phrase attaches. Consequently, they often struggle to…
Promptable segmentation models such as SAM 3 achieve remarkable open-vocabulary performance but require dedicated architectures, large-scale annotation engines, and task-specific training. We ask a…
Learning-based path planners based on diffusion and flow matching can generate diverse trajectories from demonstrations but typically lack mechanisms for constraint satisfaction and collision…
Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) is a challenging task due to the extremely small size of targets, low signal-to-noise ratios, and heavy background clutter in infrared imagery. While the…
Stance classifiers make errors that can be costly to identify under limited human-review budgets. Prioritizing potentially incorrect predictions remains challenging, particularly across heterogeneous…
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…
Long-horizon robot manipulation requires a robot to remember task-relevant information beyond its short observation window. Existing memory-augmented policies typically retrieve relevant information…
Accurate localization of neonatal hypoxic--ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) lesions on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) images is clinically important but is limited by scarce expert annotations and…
Vision-language models are now routinely tested on theory of mind: whether they can work out what another person sees, knows, and means. A common design asks the model to report that perspective and…
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…
World Action Models (WAMs) have shown strong potential for robot manipulation by jointly learning visual dynamics and executable actions. However, their video and action objectives do not explicitly…
As-built BIM reconstruction from point clouds demands semantic, volumetric, parametric, and editable building components, beyond 2D layouts or planar abstractions. Yet existing scan-to-BIM pipelines…
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…
Thermal cameras enable robots to perceive human activities in darkness while revealing less personally identifiable appearance information and fewer details of the surrounding environment than RGB…
In this paper, we investigate why vision-language models (VLMs) produce errors by decomposing them into two sources: visual-representation failures, in which the visual evidence required for the…
Neural network models are increasingly constructed from synapse-resolution connectomes, and the same circuit is now available in reconstructions from other animals and pipelines. We do not know…
Vision-language-action (VLA) navigation models translate visual observations and instructions into actions. Navigation success assesses whether an agent reaches the goal.
Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) has established itself as a widely used method for training deep neural networks. Despite its popularity, existing convergence guarantees for SAM-type methods…
Human-in-the-loop (HIL) post-training improves vision-language-action (VLA) policies through expert corrections, but costly human supervision and repeated real-robot evaluation limit algorithm…
Vision-based insertion requires correcting alignment errors while retaining useful behavior learned from demonstrations. We present ACT--Flow, an online learning framework that couples an adaptive…
World models predict how embodied systems evolve under actions, but their accuracy can degrade when physical conditions move outside the training distribution. We study two components of causal…
