With the growing success of diffusion models in computer vision, we explore their potential for same-identity facial replacement in photographs. Specifically, we propose a diffusion-based method,…
This letter proposes MulClip, a lightweight activation function for reservoir computing (RC) on microcontrollers (MCUs). In a ring reservoir, a representative sparse RC topology, multiply-accumulate…
Frontier language models such as GPT 6 Astra have contributed to research mathematics, demonstrating substantial reasoning capabilities. Yet serious reasoning failures persist even in tasks governed…
Google's AI Overviews (AIOs) are the first result users encounter when searching the web, shifting the work of selecting and evaluating sources from the user to Gemini. This may be especially…
Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly prompted with personas, such as "You have low vision", to stand in for people in user studies. We ask whether a persona makes a model see like the…
We present SONIC-K1, to our knowledge the first open-weights whole-body motion tracker for the Booster K1 humanoid, obtained by adapting the SONIC framework to this smaller robot. The policy is…
Multimodal tool-using agents augment vision-language models with access to external information and capabilities, enabling them to solve knowledge-intensive and visually complex tasks that cannot be…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems provide critical computation services in the Manufacturing Industrial Internet (MII), and their resilience depends on timely diagnosis of hazards across the data,…
Multimodal videos contain rich temporal cues that can facilitate faithful fusion. However, existing video fusion methods mainly rely on short-range temporal interactions, leaving valuable long-term…
We study satisficing regret minimization in bandits with knapsacks (BwK), where a learner sequentially selects randomized policies, i.e., distributions over arms, to obtain mean rewards above a…
Learning-based traffic signal control (TSC) has achieved promising performance, but most methods rely on structured traffic states that must be estimated from sensor observations in real deployments.…
Long-horizon robotic tasks are commonly decomposed into semantic subgoals to simplify planning. However, subgoal progress in LLM-based planning is typically inferred implicitly from interaction…
Existing gut microbiome foundation models typically use flat taxon representations, limiting their ability to exploit known taxonomic hierarchies. We introduce TaxoMFM, a microbiome foundation model…
Fine manipulation requires robots to recognize when a grasped object makes or changes contact with its environment, yet such extrinsic contact is not always directly observable from vision or local…
Unlimited OCR ushers the era of long-horizon parsing, substantially mitigating the growth of working memory as document lengthens. However, as document length scales to hundreds of pages, the visual…
Generating editable computer-aided design (CAD) models from text requires selecting operations that produce the intended changes to the geometry constructed so far. An incorrect operation can…
Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) compactly encode structured joint distributions, but Most Probable Explanation (MPE), which finds the highest-probability assignment to unobserved variables,…
Whether models trained on different modalities converge to the same representation of the world is central to AI. The Platonic Representation Hypothesis (PRH) conjectures that they do as they scale,…
We present Youtu-Parsing-Omni, an omni-modal parser that converts documents, images, audio, and video into structured records grounded in space and time, providing a perception layer for agents that…
Deep-learning-based inverse design has emerged as a promising framework for pixelated patch antenna synthesis by enabling broader exploration of discrete geometry spaces and reducing design time…
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) makes a language model solve more problems on the first try and fewer when given many tries: it raises pass@1 while the base model overtakes it…
Autoregressive (AR) image generators are powerful in principle but inflexible in practice: training with a fixed raster-scan order hardcodes a single factorization of the image distribution into the…
Discounted regret measures the performance of an online learner by assigning exponentially decaying weights to past losses, reflecting the greater importance of recent losses in non-stationary online…
