Human judgment calls made throughout the data science life cycle can change the conclusions drawn from data. Independent analysts often make different choices when given the same data, leading to…
Translated versions of English-origin benchmarks such as MMLU are widely used to evaluate large language models in non-English languages, yet it remains unclear whether they measure the same…
The scale of modern foundation models enables broad task generalization. In medical imaging, where segmentation demands vary widely across clinical contexts, such flexibility is invaluable.
Particle Gibbs samplers with backward sampling are widely used for sampling the smoothing distribution of state-space models, but, with few particles, the new trajectory often coincides with the…
Embodied instruction following in interactive environments requires agents to interpret natural language commands and complete long-horizon tasks. Existing planners either rely on large labeled…
Visual rule reasoning asks whether multimodal models can recover an abstract concept from a few examples. Existing studies either infer rules from visual examples but evaluate only classification or…
Autonomous navigation in off-road terrain is commonly achieved using hierarchical control and planning architectures that rely on explicit cost maps and one-way information flow from a high-level…
Graphical models are widely used to represent conditional independence structures, but learning them is challenging when data are fragmented across sources that measure different subsets of variables…
Frontier language models express coherent preferences, but behavioral evidence alone cannot say whether these belong to the model or to a character it portrays. Following Hofstadter's view of the…
Human handwriting is produced as an ordered sequence of pen movements, but an offline image keeps only the final ink. Handwriting trajectory recovery aims to restore the ordered stroke points and…
AI co-scientists have expanded the use of large language models for generating scientific hypotheses and guiding experimental investigation. Here we investigate whether temporal patterns in the…
Packing a 3D volume into a token sequence is not merely long-sequence modeling. Once the volume is packed, sequence order no longer encodes the geometry of the sample---so a positional mechanism…
Verifying numerical claims in research written by AI agents is an important but challenging problem. Recent benchmarks show that many agent-written papers fail integrity checks, but such verdicts,…
Streaming federated learning (SFL) allows clients to train a shared model from continuously arriving data without retaining large local datasets. Such streams often exhibit temporal dependence, yet…
Ranking aggregation from multiple retrievers is a powerful yet under-explored technique in modern retrieval and RAG systems. We introduce LLM-IRA, the first extension of the quantum-inspired…
Self-distillation offers a way to improve reasoning models when a suitable external teacher is unavailable. However, common approaches rely on privileged information to construct a stronger…
Recent advances in multimodal large language models have increased interest in interaction paradigms for video understanding. The evolution from offline to streaming and proactive interaction has…
Post-training quantization (PTQ) reduces the memory footprint of vision-language-action (VLA) models, but lowering bit widths while maintaining task performance remains challenging. Existing work has…
Future planetary rovers will traverse steep, deformable terrain where slip, sinkage, and terrain deformation can threaten mobility. Although simulation can capture some wheel-soil effects, unmodeled…
Financial assistants answer questions that sound factual but depend on what the user leaves unsaid: what a data figure measures, which product variant is meant, and the investor's situation and the…
Simulation is essential for testing automated driving systems (ADS), but discrepancies between simulation and reality can undermine testing conclusions. It remains unclear which discrepancies the…
Jev enables efficient decision-making with large language models (LLMs) through typed querying primitives, allowing the same semantic state to be expressed in different formats, such as binary and…
Reliable perception is essential to intelligent transportation systems, yet deep neural networks can silently miss safety-critical objects while continuing to produce apparently plausible outputs.…
Recent advances in generative image editing enable complex transformations such as background replacement, object manipulation, and pose adjustment from natural language instructions. However,…
