Learning-enabled cyber-physical systems (CPS), including autonomous vehicles and UAVs, increasingly incorporate foundation models, yet fragmented assurance practices provide insufficient support for…
Reasoning informs decision-making by connecting intended actions with their expected consequences. Recent vision-language-action (VLA) models incorporate embodied chains of thought (ECoTs) to guide…
One-step distillation turns pretrained diffusion models into fast generators, but strong results often require substantial training machinery and compute. Pure adversarial distillation offers a…
Missing-sequence completion is important for comprehensive brain tumor characterization, but cross-modal fusion can obscure sequence-specific contrast and lose fine-grained three-dimensional tumor…
Multi-agent LLM systems increasingly rely on persistent memory and inter-agent communication. These capabilities create privacy risks that extend beyond individual interactions: a release appropriate…
A central topic in online and stochastic optimization is to design algorithms that do not require tuning of hyperparameters. Successful strategies in online learning include AdaGrad-style learning…
We propose MorphSIG, a training-free framework that reformulates subject-driven image generation (SIG) as pseudo-video feature transport. MorphSIG contains two core modules: Progressive Decoupled…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models excel at instruction following, yet most remain feed-forward: they condition actions only on the current observation and discard both long-horizon temporal context…
We study policy optimization for infinite-horizon, discounted constrained Markov decision processes. While primal-dual ($\texttt{PD}$) methods are widely used in practice, their theoretical…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis may benefit from gut metabolic information associated with brain-gut interactions, yet existing models largely analyze cerebral glucose metabolism alone. Although…
Code embedding models have become a key building block for many software engineering applications, yet their internal representations remain poorly understood. Existing evaluations tend to focus on…
Next point-of-interest (POI) recommendation aims to predict a user's next destination from spatio-temporal check-in data, and serves as the foundation for many location-based services. Recent…
Although low-dose, sparse-view, and limited-angle CT involve distinct degradation mechanisms, all three pose reconstruction challenges due to limited measurement information and can therefore be…
We study domain generalization for LIDAR semantic segmentation. Deep neural networks achieve strong performance on 3D point clouds, yet real-world LIDAR exhibits sensor-specific sampling patterns…
Accurately predicting the transport properties of liquid electrolytes is critical for next-generation battery design and requires force fields that are both quantum-mechanically accurate and fast…
Traditional neural solvers for solving vehicle routing problems (VRPs) often suffer from limited solution diversity, motivating the development of Generative Flow Network (GFlowNet)-based models.…
Self-evolving agent skills enable AI agents to accumulate and refine reusable procedural knowledge from interaction experience without updating model parameters. However, since such skills are…
In-context learning (ICL) lets tabular foundation models make predictions without dataset-specific training or fine-tuning. These models achieve strong predictive accuracy, but interpreting how…
Intermediate-fusion cooperative perception lets a vehicle detect objects beyond its own field of view by fusing features shared by nearby agents. When only a collaborator's cameras are degraded by…
Language models are now widely used to turn recorded facts into media for public consumption, yet evaluation of such output still assumes agreement with the source as its measure of success. In…
The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) has been widely employed for feature selection in linear models and has also been extended to multi-layer perceptron (MLP) networks for…
Progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) has largely relied on scaling a resource-intensive executive, System-2, through larger models, more data and compute, longer reasoning, and more…
Automated detection has become the essential safeguard against realistic synthetic media, but deploying it at scale requires training on sensitive data from multiple organizations, putting privacy…
