Understanding the environmental drivers of forest transpiration is critical for improving global predictions of water availability and ecosystem health. Due to many competing controls on plant water s...
Language models must now generalize out of the box to novel environments and work inside inference-scaling search procedures, such as AlphaEvolve, that select rollouts with a variety of task-specific ...
Embodied intelligence faces a fundamental data bottleneck. Models must capture how first-person perception, whole-body motion, dexterous manipulation, object state, sound, and touch evolve together as...
Understanding human activities and their surrounding environments typically relies on visual perception, yet cameras pose persistent challenges in privacy, safety, energy efficiency, and scalability. ...
The Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is the optimal allocation of a set of jobs to machines. Two primary challenges persist in FJSP: the unpredictable arrival of future jobs and the combina...
Ideological asymmetries in online political communication are often studied as localized phenomena emerging within communities. Here, we show that fragmentation instead operates at the level of entire...
Interstellar objects (ISOs) motivate a coupled mission-design and inference question relevant to spacecraft dynamics and control in extreme environments: if volatile-rich, rotating comet-like bodies w...
In a context of growing agricultural demand and new challenges related to food security and accessibility, boosting agricultural productivity is more important than ever. Reducing the damage caused by...
Can latent actions and environment dynamics be recovered from offline trajectories when actions are never observed? We study this question in a setting where trajectories are action-free but tagged wi...
LLM training is shifting from manual design and annotation to interaction-driven self-evolution. However, existing self-evolutionary methods face a fundamental dilemma between task diversity and verif...
We present Loom, a spatial transcriptomics (ST) visual computing system to support the analysis of pseudo-temporal trajectories, comparative investigation across samples and regions of interest, and t...
Ordinary differential equation (ODE) models are widely used to describe systems in many areas of science. To ensure these models provide accurate and interpretable representations of real-world dynami...
Oral health issues affect billions globally, but the cost and limited access to professional dental care hinder preventive oral healthcare. Research relies on clinical-grade radiographs or intraoral c...
Policy-adherent tool-calling agents in customer-service domains must maintain task states across turns while calling tools and obeying domain policies. Task states consist of relevant facts, identifie...
LLM agents increasingly act over long horizons, where a single trajectory can contain hundreds or thousands of actions. In these settings, outcome-only rewards provide too sparse guidance, failing to ...
Recent omni-modal large language models (Omni-LLMs) show great potential as real-time video assistants, which continuously perceive environments and guide users to achieve specific goals. Unlike tradi...
Autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs) empower sixth-generation (6G) Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks through mobility-driven data collection. However, conventional reward-driven reinforcement learning fo...
Reconstructing full spatio-temporal dynamics from sparse observations in both space and time remains a central challenge in complex systems, as measurements can be spatially incomplete and can be also...
Existing approaches to e-scooter mobility hub planning lack city-type-specific causal evidence. Demand models are typically correlational, built on proprietary trip data, and do not distinguish how dr...
This paper examines how political violence in West Africa is distributed between urban agglomerations and their surrounding areas using spatially disaggregated conflict and population data. Covering s...
