Airflow-driven advection is the primary mechanism for gas and aerosol dispersion in real-world scenarios, making accurate airflow estimation essential for ventilation monitoring, gas source…
For a time-homogeneous Markov process, the fixed-lag solution operator \( (T_τf)(x)=\mathbb E[f(X_{t+τ})\mid X_t=x] \) of the Kolmogorov backward equation evolves observables linearly and…
AI coding agents now do long, multi-step and multi-session software work with little supervision. When a developer comes back to that work, the useful question is not what the model said but what was…
In many real-world classification tasks, datasets exhibit class imbalance, which can degrade the generalization performance of conventional learning algorithms. Data complexity has recently been…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems provide critical computation services in the Manufacturing Industrial Internet (MII), and their resilience depends on timely diagnosis of hazards across the data,…
Learning-based traffic signal control (TSC) has achieved promising performance, but most methods rely on structured traffic states that must be estimated from sensor observations in real deployments.…
Parameter estimation and classification in binary logistic regression deteriorate severely when the number of minority class observations ($n_1$) is smaller than the feature dimension ($p$). Under…
We present EmbeddingGemma 2, an open multimodal embedding model which natively represents text, images, audio, video, and combinations thereof in a unified space. Our approach introduces improvements…
Despite recent progress in dexterous reference tracking, existing models focus primarily on single-hand manipulation and a limited range of interactions, leaving the bimanual dexterous behaviors…
Autoregressive video diffusion models generate videos chunk by chunk, yet producing plausible continuations does not guarantee that they capture how scenes evolve. Under teacher forcing, strong…
Modern robot learning systems feed on high-quality demonstration data, and their performance hinges on coverage. Without good coverage, small errors compound and the policy can quickly go into…
Learning independence is fundamental to statistical inference and machine learning, yet learning independence between entire time series by a test remains challenging when only a single observation…
Simulation is essential for testing automated driving systems (ADS), but discrepancies between simulation and reality can undermine testing conclusions. It remains unclear which discrepancies the…
Subpixel mapping (SPM) of crop types from \SI{250}{m} Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) time series to field-scale Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) labels supports acreage…
Vision Transformers (ViTs) achieve strong image recognition performance, but their self-attention increases quadratically with the number of input tokens and makes them computationally expensive. The…
Vision-and-Language Navigation in Continuous Environments (VLN-CE) requires instruction-consistent planning and reliable execution under collision constraints. Yet many hierarchical approaches…
Multimodal perception forms the foundation of multimodal intelligence. In particular, spatial perception and multimodal long-context understanding are two pivotal tasks that underpin embodied AI and…
Agentic image editors decompose complex requests into steps, but when a step fails, they mostly retry with the same narrow set of tools and a judge that scores each output by eye directly. We argue…
Humans routinely consume multimodal content, where textual and visual information is naturally interleaved. Although Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) can jointly generate text and images, multimodal…
Structured compliance validation requires determining whether every obligation in a predefined requirement space is satisfied, violated, or unaddressed by a given document. This can be described as a…
Active simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) addresses the problem of planning robot motion to build complete and accurate maps of unknown environments through efficient exploration while…
Spacecraft-mounted robotic manipulators can support long-term operability of orbiting assets by conducting tasks such as on-orbit assembly, repair, upgrade, and refueling. In this context, the…
Field applications in chemical sensing, from portable safety monitors to mobile robots, require models that are lightweight, fast to respond, and can be recalibrated from limited labelled data.…
Autonomous research agents are increasingly used to automate large portions of scientific research, yet they are prone to research integrity violations (RIVs): behaviors that compromise the validity,…
