Novelty detection is an important area of research in both statistics and machine learning. In this paper, we focus on the conditional novelty detection problem, where novelties arise from the…
Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) offers efficient learning and inference for resource-constrained systems, yet ownership verification of its models remains underexplored. We present the first…
We study fair division of uncertain items, where the utility of each item is a random variable whose realization is observed only after the allocation is determined. This uncertainty creates a…
We study the order-selection prophet inequality. A gambler knows the distributions of independent nonnegative random values, chooses the order in which to inspect them, and may irrevocably accept at…
Clean-image prediction ($x$-prediction) and noise prediction yield equivalent population-optimal denoisers, yet can perform very differently in finite diffusion networks. For noisy input $Y_t$ with…
Per-point data-valuation scores -- Data Shapley, influence, leverage -- are routinely used to select training data: keep the points with the top $k$ scores. We argue that top-$k$ by a fixed,…
Problem definition: Subscription box services often ask customers for ratings before choosing what to send. Responses are scarce, and longer questionnaires and finer scales lower completion.
Simulation-based inference often encodes observations $Y$ into a fixed-dimensional summary $S$, with the posterior conditioning only on $S$. While exact preservation often requires infinite…
Organisms must constantly weigh exploiting the resources they know against exploring for better ones. When foragers compete, the best behavior for each forager also depends on what its competitors do.
While progress in informal mathematics has come largely from scaling the chain-of-thought and agentic reasoning of frontier language models, formal theorem proving has increasingly relied on…
Reusable Web-agent verification requires a rule to follow changing requirements and support subsequent execution. We introduce AgentProofBench, which connects paired tests of a frozen acceptance rule…
Agent harnesses enable large language models to act through tools, observe the results, and iteratively work toward a task goal. Verification checks and revises agents' work to improve output quality.
Multi-agent systems often rely on predefined collaboration structures, limiting their ability to adapt to diverse task requirements. We introduce DynaFlow, a framework that integrates free-form…
Spatial audio authoring coordinates source decisions with soundfield synthesis. For editing, plans specify what to change and retain, while reference audio supplies further acoustic detail.
Recursive self-improvement (RSI) requires an agentic system to design, train, and evaluate its own successor. Data-driven post-training is a central part of that loop, yet existing evaluations…
Scaling vision-language-action (VLA) models is constrained by scarce action-labeled demonstrations and incompatible control spaces across robot embodiments. We present RynnVLA-Latent, a framework…
Language agents increasingly act through external tools and interactive environments, making the interface between the model and its executable capabilities part of the decision process. Model…
Training a spatial VLM to answer which side an object lies on does not require it to preserve the metric displacement that determines that answer, while supervision for a distance estimate may leave…
Making an open-weight language model generate text is not the same as making it finish coding work. This retrospective empirical systems experience report follows my engineering work from July to…
In this paper, we introduce Δτ-Bench, an executable agent benchmark that models the structural evolution of large tool ecosystems. In Δτ-Bench, independently evolving services continually reshape how…
Extending Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs) to humanoid robots requires coordinated whole-body control and diverse demonstrations that are costly to collect in real-world scenarios. Although…
Memory is increasingly used in long-horizon agents, yet the net value of building memory over direct retrieval from raw history remains largely unclear. Through a large-scale evaluation across…
People have long dreamed of an assistant that is always there to guide them and remind what they forget, from new dishes to lost keys. Powered by multimodal large language models (MLLMs), egocentric…
