Vision-language-action (VLA) policies need to recognize gaps in their training knowledge to request useful demonstrations or assistance in new situations, especially when failures are costly.…
Generative image compression (GIC) delivers strong perceptual quality at low bitrates. However, GIC methods with strong perceptual quality often rely on pretrained diffusion models with high latency,…
Pixel language models process text as rendered images instead of a finite vocabulary, which gives them strong cross-lingual transfer abilities. However, not much is known about how these abilities…
LLM-generated records increasingly populate production information systems where they are treated as data assets subject to the same quality expectations as records from operational databases. A…
Many robotic construction applications, such as progress tracking, require registering a sensor trajectory to a prior 2D floor plan. Visual capture is attractive for its low cost and availability,…
In this paper, we study quantile distributional policy evaluation, where the return distribution under a given policy is approximated by the quantile Bellman fixed point $\bmη_m$. We investigate the…
Existing paired clean-degraded datasets have advanced learning-based underwater image enhancement, but they remain either limited in scale or difficult to acquire, and still fail to adequately cover…
Training modern AI models has become increasingly expensive, and updating deployed models can alter their internal feature representations, affecting applications built upon them. In retrieval…
Residual-based causal discovery assumes that each variable is generated from its parents and an independent noise source. It estimates this noise and tests its independence from candidate causes.
Speculative decoding accelerates large language model inference by employing a compact draft model to propose candidate tokens that are verified in parallel by a target model. Conventional training…
Retrieval-based in-context learning (ICL) enables large language models (LLMs) to predict tabular labels from similar examples, but it remains unclear whether LLM inference improves on direct voting…
This paper proposes a refinement to existing vision-based portable pipelines for the recognition of graspable object parts. Such pipelines can effectively support automatic grasp selection and…
Large language models (LLMs) have shown great potential as general-purpose user simulators for interactive systems. Prior studies have demonstrated that training on high-quality data can…
Real-world physical sensing exhibits complex, heterogeneous noise patterns that deviate significantly from idealized simulation, posing a fundamental bottleneck for sim-to-real transfer. Existing…
We are the first to give a certified rule for whether unseen data belong in a pretrained model's context or its weights, built on an exact law for their information value. That value, the code length…
Promptable segmentation models such as SAM 3 achieve remarkable open-vocabulary performance but require dedicated architectures, large-scale annotation engines, and task-specific training. We ask a…
Interactive video world models predict how an environment evolves under user actions, but most existing systems assume one controlled agent and one task-specific action interface. We study…
Creative prompt expansion improved overall audiovisual quality scores over raw prompts in a controlled pilot of VideoGen Model 1, our post-trained version of MiniMax H3. We compared the raw,…
Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) is a challenging task due to the extremely small size of targets, low signal-to-noise ratios, and heavy background clutter in infrared imagery. While the…
Deep learning based models accurately delineate tumours on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), but segmentation masks alone do not provide the rationales or reasoning used by radiologists to…
High linear decodability does not entail causal controllability in continuous-latent text-to-speech (TTS). In VoxCPM2, position-matched probes and equal-norm interventions across 30 speakers and 60…
Managed and wild bees sustain roughly a third of the global food products, yet colonies face mounting stress from climate-change including extreme weather patterns, altered parasite and disease…
Open-ended search combined with foundation models has produced advances such as faster algorithms, new results on open mathematical problems, and self-improving agents. We extend this paradigm to…
In the classical principal-agent setting, the principal delegates some task to the agent, who receives a payment conditioned on the outcome of the task, which in turn benefits the principal. To align…
