The rise of large language models (LLMs) has opened a path toward generalist embodied AI, raising the question of how LLMs can act in the physical world. One straightforward approach is training the…
Industrial manipulation in flexible manufacturing, e.g., high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) electronics assembly, requires robot policies to adapt to changing products and production conditions. Such…
Self-supervised monocular depth estimation is appealing for its potential to scale with unlabeled data, yet existing methods often degrade when trained on diverse scenes. This study finds that, under…
Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding (STVG) aims to jointly localize a target in space and time given a natural-language query. Despite continued advances, existing STVG benchmarks remain largely centered…
Training language agents is bottlenecked by the high cost of long-horizon rollouts, yet standard agentic reinforcement learning (RL) learns only from a terminal scalar reward, leaving the supervision…
Do research agents have taste, the judgment of which experiments are worth running before their outcomes are known? We give six frontier models seven recent NLP papers.
Language models are now widely used to turn recorded facts into media for public consumption, yet evaluation of such output still assumes agreement with the source as its measure of success. In…
Efficient object detection on resource-constrained edge devices is essential for safety-critical applications such as fire-smoke monitoring. However, current lightweight frameworks, such as YOLO26,…
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have shown strong promise for generalist robotic manipulation, but their inference cost remains a major bottleneck for real-time control. This limitation is…
Humans navigate their environment based on their vision system, anticipating how the ground will respond before committing to a step. Self-supervised learning could provide legged robots the same…
Synthesizing a monocular video from a new camera trajectory requires preserving the observed scene geometry and motion while completing regions that become newly visible. Feed-forward 4D…
MLLM-based detectors formulate vision-language grounding as autoregressive coordinate generation, yet in dense scenes, they often collapse into a box repetition loop, repeatedly emitting identical…
Event sequences are chains of random events, each described by heterogeneous (numerical and categorical) features. The problem of event sequence forecasting occurs in finance, healthcare, business…
Spiking-Mamba hybrids reach strong accuracy on event-based vision, but existing designs often require tens of millions of parameters. Much of that cost comes from how the spiking front-end is…
Human cognition flexibly draws on a shared perceptual foundation to understand environments, attend to referenced entities, reason about spatial relationships, and act. Endowing aerial robots with an…
Current zero-shot anomaly detection methods often rely on complex prompt-learning techniques or computationally expensive sliding-window strategies to achieve fine-grained visual alignment to detect…
Tumor delineation is required for radiotherapy planning, yet automatic segmentation is limited by errors, predominantly false positives, that distort dose and increase editing time. The radiology…
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used for image guided and adaptive radiotherapy, but scatter, noise, reconstruction artifacts, and inaccurate Hounsfield units limit its quantitative…
Audio descriptions (AD) are essential for making visual media accessible to blind and low-vision (BLV) users. While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offer a scalable solution for generating…
LiDAR-based 3D perception underpins autonomous driving and robotics, yet deploying these models safely requires stress-testing them against adversarial inputs before real-world use. Although…
Accurate oriented detection requires a box to follow object boundaries, yet a standard regression head predicts its center, size, and angle from a pooled region representation. Small errors in these…
Colonoscopy is inherently comparative: reliable visual assessment of polyps often depends on complementary views acquired under different viewpoints and imaging conditions. Retrieving such views…
