Chemical language models can struggle to generate new molecules when trained on small datasets, where a model may reproduce training examples rather than learn a useful generative distribution.…
The scale of modern foundation models enables broad task generalization. In medical imaging, where segmentation demands vary widely across clinical contexts, such flexibility is invaluable.
Streaming federated learning (SFL) allows clients to train a shared model from continuously arriving data without retaining large local datasets. Such streams often exhibit temporal dependence, yet…
Traffic congestion is becoming a critical challenge in rapidly growing urban centers, particularly in developing nations where rapid urbanization and inadequate transport infrastructure place…
Discretizing continuous actions into discrete skills using methods like VQ-VAE has emerged as a powerful paradigm for robotic manipulation. However, quantization errors yield a suboptimal…
While single-view novel view synthesis methods have been dramatically enhanced recently, how to quantify their performance has yet to be standardized. In this work, we demonstrate that an important…
Large language models (LLMs) are advancing in multimodal understanding and reasoning, accelerating medical model development. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) uses evidence from the four…
Extremely sparse-view computed tomography (xSV-CT) is critical when scanning time, motion, or radiation tolerance limits each scan to only a few projections. In many such scenarios, the same…
Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting has recently emerged as a promising alternative to per-scene optimization, enabling fast novel view synthesis by predicting Gaussian primitives directly from input…
Skills, as reusable external knowledge, have demonstrated substantial potential to enhance the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to solve complex tasks. However, existing skill-augmented…
Future planetary exploration missions require teams of robots to collaboratively map unknown environments under severe communication limits, constrained onboard computation, and no central…
We study efficient, adaptive auditing of categorical labels in a fixed dataset, motivated by biodiversity-credit programs in which expert verification of species records is costly and downstream…
We study strongly adaptive regret for Online Convex Optimization (OCO) with time-varying movement costs, a setting that evaluates a learner's performance over arbitrary sub-intervals. This framework…
Recent work demonstrated that executing Bayesian Optimization (BO) using simply a linear surrogate with a clever transformation is enough to approximate the performance of the standard…
Contextual decision making uses observed covariates to guide decisions under uncertainty. Two natural approaches are predict-then-optimize (PtO), which learns the conditional expected objective, and…
Ship-to-home fulfillment requires a retailer to select a fulfillment location and carrier before the delivery time is known. These decisions often rely on static transit-time estimates, which cannot…
Radar systems can recover scene geometry and recognize predefined categories, but these outputs do not provide a persistent spatial representation for open-ended language queries. Such queries…
Language model assistants sometimes change a correct answer when the user suggests a wrong one. The behavior, called sycophancy, is usually attributed to preference-based post-training, yet early…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in multi-turn agentic workloads that require sustained interaction with complex environments. Existing reflective prompt optimizers such as GEPA…
Quickest detection problems (QDPs) arise in a wide range of applications. However, the complementarity structure of the associated variational inequalities poses substantial challenges for…
An input skip can reduce reconstruction error while leaving a model's distribution of new samples unchanged. For a Gaussian variational autoencoder (VAE) with constant input skip $0\leqα<1$, a model…
Objective: This study aims to determine whether a hip-exoskeleton policy trained in simulation, by co-adapting with a musculoskeletal human model under a metabolic-energy reward, reduces the…
Modern simulators can generate synthetic camera and LiDAR data with accurate annotations for downstream tasks. In contrast, automotive radar simulation remains less mature because it requires not…
