When an LLM agent fails, repair methods choose which action to replace and what to put in its place. They often score candidate repairs with greedy replay, a stronger model, an environment oracle, or…
In the era of large models, stereo matching is developing towards generalizable foundation models trained on million-scale synthetic images. However, how model performance scales up with synthetic…
A binary success indicator is a natural representation for discriminative tasks such as image classification under adversarial perturbations, where each input is mapped to a single prediction.…
Spectroscopic diagnostics provide rich information for characterizing plasma states in tokamak fusion experiments, while existing learning-based approaches are often designed for individual tasks and…
Robust depth estimation aims to maintain high-quality depths across diverse conditions. However, most existing methods estimate depth without taking into account the object-level information.
This paper reports a methodological pivot from the Open Khipu Repository to the Khipu Field Guide (KFG) database, prompted by stalled progress on the OKR, and a full re-analysis of the resulting…
Large audio language models (LALMs) can process speech directly, but it remains unclear how well they use the non-lexical acoustic information that speech carries. We study this question through…
Smart wheelchairs are robotic devices that gather information from the surroundings and allow people to safely drive through various environments. They usually rely on the interpretation of…
Personalizing AI assistants requires adapting their behavior to users' preferences and task contexts. Existing work elicits assistant personas through persona prompting or finetuning on…
Synthetic data are a promising way to maintain privacy while disseminating research data, thereby enabling compliance with the open science principles. Popular methods for generating synthetic data…
Detecting whether and in particular how two data distributions differ is a fundamental statistical problem. For example, we might be interested in which concepts (expressed in natural language)…
In high-risk text interactions, a system may need to estimate whether the current speaker is likely to be a minor before applying age-conditioned safeguards. Many text-based dialogue systems lack…
This study aims to build effective drill software by combining a virtual simulation of a disaster with multiple agents capable of expressing emotions. We evaluated how the number of agents and their…
LLMs increasingly fact-check online content with the poster's identity in view. However, it remains unclear which post-training changes how much a model's truth judgement depends on the poster's…
First-derivative edge detectors such as Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and Scharr measure absolute grey-level differences. We revisit the log-gradient magnitude, a relative-gradient edge operator, and…
Hallucination remains one of the most critical challenges in deploying large language models (LLMs) reliably and safely. Yet the term is used inconsistently across the research community.
Recent diffusion models have achieved impressive progress in single image to multi-view generation by synthesizing consistent novel views efficiently. Existing methods usually explicitly or…
Can a Watershed transform, the classical tool of morphological segmentation, be placed at the end of a deep network and trained through? The Power Watershed (PW) is the limit of the seeded Random…
The growing volume of end-of-life products has intensified the need for automated disassembly, yet hook-type connections remain challengin: their orientations vary, they deform under load, and their…
Video captioning models are increasingly evaluated with metrics designed for single-sentence image captions. We test whether those metrics recover human judgement on dense, multi-window video…
Why do multilingual language models generalize across languages even without shared vocabulary? The Platonic Representation Hypothesis posits that models trained on different data, objectives, and…
Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) learn to predict representations rather than pixels, offering a compact way to model how visual scenes evolve. We ask whether this predictive…
Subpixel mapping (SPM) of crop types from \SI{250}{m} Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) time series to field-scale Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) labels supports acreage…
Combining wheeled and legged locomotion within a single robotic platform offers the potential to harness the advantages of both systems. The development of such hybrid systems remains an active area…
