Training interactive language agents from terminal outcomes poses three coupled problems: which task and state continuations to sample, how to assign delayed feedback to decisions, and how to…
Flow models have recently emerged as powerful generative priors for solving inverse problems. Despite their success, most existing flow-based inverse problem solvers initialize the reconstruction…
Language models face two opposing concerns: monoculture, in which models err in correlated ways, and multiplicity, in which equally accurate models make conflicting decisions. The rise of reasoning…
Recent advances in generative foundation models have expanded the capabilities of embodied AI, enabling increasingly general navigation, manipulation, and long-horizon task execution. However,…
Wearable force-augmentation technologies, including exoskeletons and soft exosuits, are being developed for occupational and rehabilitation settings to enhance performance by reducing the muscular…
Deep neural networks for image recognition are typically trained using mini-batches, with a forward pass to compute predictions and losses followed by a more computationally expensive backward pass…
Autonomous surface vessels operating in urban waterways must coordinate with other vessels in confined spaces while complying with traffic regulations, often without knowing their intentions. We…
Pose estimation is a computer vision task used to estimate a skeleton of dynamic systems to predict future movements. Most of the research in this direction is based on a supervised learning approach…
In this letter, we present a volumetric mapping system that effectively calculates Occupancy Grid Maps (OGMs) and Euclidean Distance Transforms (EDTs) with parallel computing. Unlike these mappers…
Continual adaptation to new tasks is essential for robots deployed in the real world, but adapting pre-trained policies remains challenging due to parameter growth and the need for continual…
Activation steering is an inference-time technique used to control or modify the behavior, tone, or safety properties of a large language model (LLM) without retraining the model's weights or editing…
Robot policy learning is dominated by zeroth-order methods such as PPO, which treat the simulator as a black box and pay for it with enormous sample counts. First-order policy learning differentiates…
This work introduces three lightweight enhancement modules for medical lesion segmentation to improve clinical applicability, particularly under data-scarce and computationally constrained…
Vision-language models (VLMs) have made significant progress in spatial reasoning, particularly by integrating RGB images with depth data, which is often assumed to faithfully reflect physical…
Diffusion and flow matching visuomotor policies require iterative denoising or numerical integration for multimodal action generation, introducing latency and execution mismatch. We instead consider…
We present TADP, a temporally adaptive differential privacy (DP) framework for inference-time privacy-preserving video generation under fixed-length clip-replacement adjacency. TADP uses a…
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has recently been extended to vision-language models (VLMs), yet its effectiveness remains limited for text-rich reasoning tasks. We highlight a…
Low inference latency is critical for closed-loop robotic manipulation, especially under asynchronous inference, where action chunks must be updated promptly to correct accumulated deviations.…
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has become a standard reasoning strategy in Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs), showing strong performance in complex vision-language tasks such as reasoning…
A robot should act only on an instruction from a person or on an intent that the robot explicitly represents and generates. Unintended actions taken without such an instruction can cause risk or…
RGB-D SLAM requires accurate online tracking, high-quality rendering, and geometrically consistent reconstruction. Existing Gaussian SLAM methods mainly optimize Gaussian primitives with photometric,…
The quality of image generation models trained with diffusion or flow matching is largely fixed by the training budget: at inference, the only available lever is the number of sampling steps, and…
Physics-informed Gaussian process (GP) methods provide a probabilistic framework for PDE solving. Existing approaches incorporate PDE information in different ways: pointwise conditioning uses the…
