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…
We present deterministic polynomial-space algorithms that solve Max 2-SAT on $n$ variables exactly in time $\Ostar(2^{(1-γ)n})$, for a fixed $γ>0$, on several classes of instances whose clause…
Real-time magnetic resonance imaging of the vocal tract makes speech articulation directly observable, but the trade-off between temporal resolution and signal quality introduces substantial noise…
Vulnerable road user (VRU) prediction must operate under partial observability and distribution shift, so reliable uncertainty matters alongside accuracy. Masked pretraining is attractive in this…
Audio descriptions (AD) are essential for making visual media accessible to blind and low-vision (BLV) users. While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offer a scalable solution for generating…
Privacy accounting bounds the cumulative privacy cost of Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent but does not determine how to allocate a fixed budget across iterations. We formulate the…
Diffusion transformers (DiTs) have become the dominant architecture for high-fidelity image synthesis, yet they suffer from slow training convergence and high computational cost. Two recent lines of…
Recent advances in gigapixel-level imaging have brought High-Resolution Wide shots to the forefront of research. However, these images present significant challenges: extreme sparsity of foreground,…
When persona-conditioned responses are read as respondent-level simulations, each response should reflect the described persona's knowledge, and the respondent written to know nothing must act as if…
Recent advances in gigapixel-level imaging have brought High-Resolution Wide shots to the forefront of research. However, these images present significant challenges: extreme sparsity of foreground,…
Novel view synthesis (NVS) in degraded scenes aims to reconstruct 3D scenes from multi-view observations affected by various degradations, and to generate clear and photorealistic images at unseen…
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards has shown great promise in enhancing mathematical reasoning in large language models. However, existing approaches provide limited intermediate…
Linear attention stores historical information in a recurrent state of fixed size, providing a compact memory representation for long-context inference. Reducing state precision further lowers…
