Large language models (LLMs) draw on parametric knowledge and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to solve knowledge-intensive tasks. Yet problem solving in unfamiliar domains calls for tightly…
Electric vehicles produce no tailpipe emissions, but charging them produces emissions that depend on the time-varying generation mix of the electricity consumed. We study an Electric Vehicle Routing…
Reasoning informs decision-making by connecting intended actions with their expected consequences. Recent vision-language-action (VLA) models incorporate embodied chains of thought (ECoTs) to guide…
Compositional motion transfer requires a model to extract motions from multiple reference videos, and apply each motion to a user-specified object in one target scene. Existing methods normally…
Deep neural networks achieve strong performance across many tasks but remain vulnerable to adversarial perturbations. Adversarial training (AT) is one of the most effective defenses, yet it suffers…
Label-free test-time reinforcement learning adapts vision--language models using rewards derived from their own predictions. However, misinterpreted visual evidence and sensitivity to textual…
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for real-time photorealistic novel view synthesis. However, its training-time densification remains largely heuristic, often resulting…
Multimodal tool-using agents augment vision-language models with access to external information and capabilities, enabling them to solve knowledge-intensive and visually complex tasks that cannot be…
Deep-learning-based inverse design has emerged as a promising framework for pixelated patch antenna synthesis by enabling broader exploration of discrete geometry spaces and reducing design time…
Engineering design frequently involves redesigning a prior solution to adapt to changes in context, such as material prices or system requirements. Redesign often leverages simulators too complex…
Legged robots have demonstrated advanced capabilities across a wide range of real-world tasks, yet much of this progress concerns the robot controlling only itself. Once the robot is coupled to an…
Accurate time series forecasting (TSF) is essential for Web applications, such as traffic monitoring and online resource management. Recent advances in leveraging pre-trained large language models…
Financial AI systems must support decision-bearing questions involving payments, collections, cash flow, and compliance while ensuring numerical accuracy, traceability, and auditability. Large…
We present XLaw-JP-27B, an open-weight model specialized for Japanese law that runs on a single 48\,GB GPU under the Apache~2.0 licence. It adapts Qwen3.8-27B with hybrid retrieval over all current…
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.
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly described as acquiring "reasoning" skills after reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. However, whether these gains reflect genuine reasoning or…
Large language model agents have begun to carry out laboratory measurements, but their scientific conclusions are useful only if they hold up under scrutiny. Demonstrating this requires controlled…
LLM read-and-evaluate tasks include study screening, data extraction, risk-of-bias assessment, and critical appraisal in the evidence synthesis field. These task differ in the amount of LLM…
Scientific inference often involves observations from multiple latent populations whose class memberships are uncertain and must be inferred from available data. While full Bayesian mixture modelling…
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.
Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) are models that learn to sample discrete objects proportional to a target reward. They are trained by minimizing balance errors over sampled trajectories, which…
Large language models (LLMs) have rapidly become a default source of help for students in science and engineering courses. In foundational engineering mechanics courses such as statics, students…
