Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) lets a large language model (LLM) answer questions by retrieving relevant passages from a large corpus. However, RAG struggles with multi-hop questions, which…
Robots, autonomous vehicles, and consumer 360° cameras use fisheye lenses for wide fields of view (FoVs). Simulation-ready digital twins require photorealistic rendering across the full FoV and an…
Humans navigate their environment based on their vision system, anticipating how the ground will respond before committing to a step. Self-supervised learning could provide legged robots the same…
Motion retargeting maps a demonstrated human movement onto a robot to compute its joint motion. This study examines how the construction of the desired wrist position affects whether computed arm…
Human-level dexterity remains a central open problem in robotics, yet few simulation frameworks cover the full workflow of dexterous manipulation, from setting up a robot to collecting dexterous…
The short-time Fourier transform (STFT) characterizes the local frequency content of time-varying signals by evaluating the discrete Fourier transform over a sliding analysis window. The STFT is…
Language model assistants sometimes change a correct answer when the user suggests a wrong one. The behavior, called sycophancy, is usually attributed to preference-based post-training, yet early…
Speculative decoding is used to reduce the inference cost of language models. One-step diffusion drafters propose a block of multiple tokens in parallel, reducing the sequential cost of speculative…
Large language models are pretrained on vast, uncurated corpora scraped from the public web. This creates a security risk from attackers who plant poisoned content in the pretraining data.
Large language models (LLMs) have shown increasing promise in research-level problem solving, yet a comprehensive collection of such problems is still missing, and evaluating them on research-level…
Prior-Data Fitted Networks (PFNs) replace the hyperparameter refitting of Gaussian Process (GP) surrogates in Bayesian optimisation with a single forward pass, at the cost of a prior that is fixed at…
Many uses of language models end in a typed decision: a choice among a closed set of options, whose probabilities code can act on. Reading those probabilities from one forward pass is fast but often…
Model discrepancy may prevent a single calibration parameter from reproducing a physical response across the context domain. In addition, uncertainties in observations and contexts affect calibration…
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have made substantial progress in robotic manipulation, but their generalization remains constrained by the diversity and coverage of action-labeled robot…
We introduce Heads of Security (HoS), a prompt injection defense that enforces instruction-data separation via a small set of learned per-head attention gates. HoS learns how each head should…
Dexterous manipulation with multi-fingered hands is the next frontier of robotics, yet learned hand skills remain limited to simple grasps or basic repeated motions, such as rotating an object. As…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in multi-turn agentic workloads that require sustained interaction with complex environments. Existing reflective prompt optimizers such as GEPA…
Scientific discovery often begins with an unexpected observation that prompts a new research question. In a world with altered physical laws, can large language models (LLMs) notice unexpected…
Self-attention plays a key role in long-sequence modeling, but its quadratic time complexity fundamentally limits the scaling of Large Language Models. Recently, Multi-State Linear Attention (MSLA)…
Diffusion language models offer a promising path to efficient agents through parallel token generation. However, efficient interaction requires adapting both where computation is spent and how much…
When an LLM group's discussion is compressed into a short memory for a final decision maker, what should the memory keep? Two natural heuristics keep the rarest claims or the claims relevant to the…
Agile robots require spatiotemporal intelligence to interpret scenes, reason about interactions, and anticipate future events. Yet it remains unclear how well foundation vision models support these…
Artificial intelligence offers statisticians a new paradigm for modelling and analysing complex datasets. Agents based on large language models can reason about data and automate key stages of the…
As executable environments for language agents scale, generating and verifying their rollouts becomes increasingly expensive. Under finite rollout budgets, this raises an important question: can data…
