Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate domain-specific commercial & medical content (e.g., claims, statements, and promotional phrases) in regulated industries such as…
Apple Silicon is among the most widely used platforms for local LLM inference, yet nearly all inference optimizations are designed and validated on server-class NVIDIA GPUs under batched serving…
Vector quantization (VQ), in particular lattice-based methods, offer strong rate-distortion trade-offs for low-bit large language models (LLMs), yet their behavior under quantization-aware training…
Probabilistic computing has proved useful for combinatorial optimization, but conventional implementations rely on binary stochastic units and sigmoid-based updates. Extending these systems to…
Finite element model updating is among the most general approaches to discover constitutive models from structural experiments: since the displacement field is computed rather than measured, it…
Memory enables language model assistants to maintain continuity across sessions and generate personalized responses, but knowing more about a user does not necessarily produce responses they prefer.…
Reinforcement learning has emerged as an effective approach for combinatorial optimization, but most existing methods focus on problems such as the Travelling Salesperson Problem (TSP) in which all…
Reward models score responses for preference optimization, filtering and ranking, and pooling scores across prompts needs them to be comparable. Yet pairwise evaluation compares two responses to the…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong potential to automate heuristic design for NP-hard combinatorial optimization (CO) tasks without human intervention. Recent methods predominantly…
While reasoning traces improve model capability, they also provide supervision signals for downstream distillation. Initial efforts to mitigate this issue rely on decoding-time interventions, but…
Capability benchmarks measure what large language models can do, but not whether their recommendations remain appropriate as decision conditions change. This paper proposes a trajectory-based…
Existing agricultural advisories to farmers suffer from several limitations: (a) remain largely expert-driven, (b) do not adequately account for in-season weather, and (c) do not scale to individual…
Offline contextual pricing often relies on logged observational data, but faces challenges from distributional shifts between training and deployment environments. Distributionally robust…
General-purpose embeddings trained on profile similarity often misrank candidates in professional networks, where relevance is inherently complementary rather than symmetric. For example, job seekers…
Just as different languages express the same concept through different words, neural networks express similar functions through incompatible coordinate systems. Different architectures, random…
The security of modern public-key cryptographic systems, such as RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and ECC, depends entirely on the computational intractability of the integer factorization and discrete logarithm…
With external tools, large language models (LLMs) can tackle complex tasks through sustained environmental interaction. LLM-based agents are therefore increasingly used to tackle complex long-horizon…
Large language models (LLMs) can translate natural-language optimization problems into solver programs, but reliably producing correct formulations and implementations remains challenging. Existing…
Neurosurgical navigation commonly presents magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as 2D slices, making it difficult to relate the anatomy in those slices to the cortical surface observed through the…
We present TwinStore, a source-available synthetic consumer platform for physical retail built on vision--language models. TwinStore turns a store into a digital twin---from 82 ready-made formats, a…
Chemical AI workflows routinely represent the same molecule through multiple co-referring identifiers, including trivial names, IUPAC names, and SMILES, implicitly assuming that these representations…
Deep Gaussian processes (DGPs) are appealing Bayesian regression models, but their standard discrete-depth parameterization often becomes harder to optimize as depth grows. We argue that depth is…
PowerPoint presentations (PPTs) are a dominant medium for communication across diverse domains, yet high-quality PPT generation still depends heavily on labor-intensive human effort. Recent advances…
Real-image editing commonly relies on inversion and iterative sampling, while efficient one-step editors often stabilize a large update by estimating and averaging editing fields at multiple noise…
