The ability to predict farrowing time in pigs is crucial for optimal farm management and ensuring piglet survival. This study investigates the potential of explainable artificial intelligence for…
Best Arm Identification (BAI) conventionally measures the cost of experimentation by the number of samples collected. In many operational settings, however, the cost of exploration relative to a…
Medical diagnostic reasoning requires verifiable links between visual evidence and clinical knowledge, yet current medical vision language models are aligned with objectives that reward the wrong…
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) are a promising solution for improving millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications by controlling signal propagation. Yet, selecting the optimal RIS…
Pretrained generative models, such as diffusion and flow matching models, have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in synthesizing high-quality data. However, steering their generative trajectories…
Decision-making under uncertainty remains a key issue in Machine Learning (ML), particularly in the deployment of safety-critical systems, where reliable quantification of system behavior is…
World action models (WAMs) increasingly couple internal visual or world representations with action generation, making their world-to-action pathways a critical yet poorly understood source of…
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…
Long-horizon consistency is essential for video world models, yet it becomes difficult to maintain once observed content falls outside the context window. Existing memory mechanisms either retrieve…
Large language model serving stacks, commercial inference APIs, vector databases, and agent orchestration gateways are now ex- posed on the public internet and indexed by commodity scanners within…
We study contextual dynamic pricing in a non-stationary environment. In each round, a seller observes a buyer's context, posts a price, and receives only binary purchase feedback.
Over-refusal is a critical side effect of safety alignment in large language models (LLMs), causing harmless but superficially risky queries to be mistakenly rejected. Despite the effectiveness of…
Second language learners benefit from exposure to level-appropriate grammar in interactive language use. While prompted frontier language models can usually produce target grammar structures, less…
Visual grounding is crucial for robots to understand language instructions with visual observations. This paper addresses the problem of visual grounding uncertainties, where a robot uses a black-box…
The tension between the established technologies of connectionist AI and their neuromorphic challengers is attracting growing attention, above all because of the enormous energy demand of the former…
When a language model says "I," does it refer to its parameter weights, its currently running process, its stable preferences, its model lineage, or the goals it pursues? Different choices can assign…
Long-horizon dialogue agents require effective memory systems to recall facts, events, and relationships from interaction histories. In this work, we propose a hybrid-memory architecture comprising…
Airflow-driven advection is the primary mechanism for gas and aerosol dispersion in real-world scenarios, making accurate airflow estimation essential for ventilation monitoring, gas source…
As Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly participate in persistent social environments, understanding their long-term social interaction capabilities becomes increasingly important. While…
Continuous relaxations are commonly used as an encoding scheme for evolutionary multitasking optimization (EMTO), allowing heterogeneous tasks to be optimized within a unified search space. However,…
Image compression is increasingly used before machine vision systems, yet standard codecs are mainly optimized for human perception rather than downstream task accuracy. We propose SCOPE (Semantic…
Bias correction in process-based models usually means iterative data assimilation with explicit covariance modelling. We propose a lightweight alternative based on a neural emulator of marine…
Autonomous mobile robots commonly pair a global planner with a local model predictive controller (MPC), but nonconvex obstacle avoidance and a limited horizon can make the robot freeze in complex…
Accurate land-cover mapping from multimodal Earth observation (EO) data remains a challenge in regions where high-resolution annotations are scarce or costly to obtain. This work introduces a quantum…
