Unlike autoregressive (AR) models, diffusion language models (DLMs) permit parallel token updates, flexible generation, and bidirectional attention, but leading systems rely on costly pretraining or…
Computer-use agents increasingly tackle tasks ranging from everyday desktop activities to long-horizon professional workflows. Yet interfaces centered on screenshots and mouse-and-keyboard actions…
Training-free expert pruning makes two decisions: which experts to remove, and what the layer computes when its router still selects a removed expert. Published methods change both at once.
Federated learning (FL) keeps raw data local, but most deployments still rely on a trusted coordinator for client admission, checkpoint distribution, update collection, aggregation, and rewards. This…
Existing sketch generation methods often rely on image guidance and are largely limited to individual objects or simplified scenes, leaving text-guided complex scene sketching underexplored. We…
Robot agents built on vision-language models depend on both the planner and its harness: the tools, feedback, memory, and recovery logic around it. Can improvements to a large teacher's harness be…
LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) rely on collaboration among specialized agents to solve complex tasks. Existing methods improve MAS by refining the prompts, skills, and execution strategies of…
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) lets a large language model (LLM) answer questions by retrieving relevant passages from a large corpus. However, RAG struggles with multi-hop questions, which…
Analytical theories of learning in deep networks often assume gradient flow, discarding the finite step size and batch noise of stochastic gradient descent (SGD). Starting from the discrete update,…
We study finite sample guarantees for transport based mutual information estimation. Mutual information can be estimated by first learning the conditional and marginal densities and then evaluating…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to generate stories, but these stories struggle to reproduce engaging readerly dynamics, the evolving reader responses that shape narrative…
Deploying small language models on resource-constrained hardware requires compression, yet practitioners lack systematic guidance on how quantization, pruning, and post-compression recovery interact…
Agent harnesses govern how language models act in an environment; designing their policies by hand is difficult, while automated techniques require representative datasets and costly executions. We…
Large language models (LLMs) now answer medical exam questions at or above expert level, but it is unclear whether such scores reflect clinical competence, or are instead affected by the format of…
Tactile sensing provides robots with direct observations of contact physics, local geometry, and interaction dynamics, making it a vital source of feedback for contact-rich manipulation. However,…
Although self-improvement is becoming increasingly important as tasks become more complex, models struggle to generate reliable supervision for harder, out-of-distribution instances. One way to…
