Understanding the internal routing of visual concepts is crucial for the safe and controllable adaptation of generative models. While concept localization has been widely studied in diffusion models,…
Reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly used to train robust, adaptable systems across healthcare, e-commerce, and robotics. In these settings, legal, ethical, or logistical concerns may preclude…
Activation steering changes what a language model generates by editing its hidden states at inference time. Its most common form adds one vector, the difference of class means (DiM), to every hidden…
We report that allocating compute to synthetic pre-pretraining (PPT) never outperforms pure natural-language training in our compute-matched experiments. This holds across four PPT curricula (k-Dyck,…
Efficient crowd navigation requires anticipating dynamic collision-free space without relying on fragile object tracking. We propose the Don't Risk It Planner (DRIP), an end-to-end LiDAR-only…
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used for image guided and adaptive radiotherapy, but scatter, noise, reconstruction artifacts, and inaccurate Hounsfield units limit its quantitative…
For more than three decades, UPPAAL has supported the modelling and analysis of real-time and cyber-physical systems. Yet building a suitable model, formalising the intended properties, choosing…
Language models handle text well, and rule engines give conclusions with proofs. Systems that combine the two are usually described by example, and the same coupling turns up under different names in…
Large language models (LLMs) can improve task performance during learning, yet these gains do not necessarily reflect learners' ability to thereafter apply the knowledge and skills independently. We…
Memory in reinforcement learning raises two problems. Attention finds the relevant item by scoring the whole store, which is costly for robots under latency and energy limits.
Medical image segmentation is crucial for clinical diagnosis and treatment planning, requiring both global contextual understanding and fine-grained structural precision. While the Segment Anything…
Choosing a robot action model requires evidence about task capability, adaptation cost, deployment requirements, and the reliability of reported conclusions. Success rates alone offer limited…
Automatic operator design (AOD) has increasingly adopted large language models (LLMs) to generate problem-specific search and variation operators for multi-objective combinatorial optimization…
DINO (self-DIstillation with NO labels) has become a stan- dard for self-supervised pre-training, producing features that generalise across datasets and downstream tasks. In medical imaging it has…
Agentic robots must turn a high-level goal into actions while keeping the physical conditions needed for future steps valid. A completed action does not ensure that its effects will persist: a later…
Aggregate measurements generally leave an evolving population law underdetermined, so different measurement systems can be equally adequate for a scientific task while constraining different aspects…
Vegetation plays a central role in cities, serving functional roles such as balancing shade and sky exposure, shaping the microclimate, carbon sequestration, and providing acoustic screening.…
AI assistants are increasingly embedded in computational notebooks, scientific workflows, software engineering tools, and learning systems, yet human-AI interactions are often treated as transient…
Learning mechanism behaviour requires a representation of how connected parts jointly constrain motion. We study whether exposing reusable constraint subassemblies improves prediction from limited…
Humanoids have become increasingly agile and capable in real-world environments. To operate safely in dynamic scenarios, they must rapidly evade fast-moving obstacles while maintaining stability and…
Reasoning vision-language-action (VLA) policies write a reasoning trace and then decode the action from it. A wrong trace yields a wrong action, and even a correct-looking trace can mislead the plan.
This study explores the role of hyperparameter optimization (HPO) in enhancing the detection of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) using both machine learning and deep learning models. We evaluated a range of…
Rover-mounted robotic arms can extend human reach during lunar sample handling, but continuous joystick teleoperation requires repeated visual-motor alignment while operators may also need to monitor…
We develop an uncertainty-aware physics-informed surrogate for a one-dimensional $p$-$n$ junction diode, conditioned on device length, doping and bias. Using the internal state of the device as…
