Multimodal foundation models learned to see and to speak by consuming the whole internet. Embodied agents admit no such shortcut, since they require data that couple observations with physical states ...
Parcellations distributed in Connectivity Informatics Technology Initiative (CIFTI) format cannot be used directly in many analysis programs that require volume input. Existing conversion options may ...
We study risk-neutral density extraction from short-dated option chains. As expiry approaches, option premia decline and bid--ask spreads can be large relative to prices, making mid quotes particularl...
In variety testing, multi-environment trials (MET) are essential for evaluating the genotypic performance of crop plants. A persistent challenge in the statistical analysis of MET data is the estimati...
Multimodal web agents can assist humans in operating repetitive GUI tasks, where effective task planning is essential for decomposing complex tasks into executable actions. While small open source MLL...
Recent 3D generative models can synthesize high-quality geometry but often struggle to reproduce intricate textures from reference images, largely due to the scarcity of large-scale 3D training data w...
Many high-resolution imaging systems face the same fundamental question: when have enough measurements been collected to reconstruct an image accurately? We develop Conformalized Rate-Adaptive Sensing...
Phytolith analysis is a crucial tool for reconstructing past vegetation and human activities, but traditional methods are severely limited by labour-intensive, time-consuming manual microscopy. To add...
Diesel engine particulate matter (PM) is one of the most challenging emission constituents to predict. As engines become cleaner and emissions levels drop, manufacturers need reliable methods to quant...
The blue shark (Prionace glauca) exhibits a striking dorsoventral color gradient, transitioning from vibrant blue dorsally to silver and white ventrally, a pattern widely interpreted as pelagic counte...
Sensitive health data should preferentially be analysed on site. In typical bioinformatics workows, public databases are duplicated and used by specialised tools to enrich the local datasets. In the c...
Federated learning (FL) suffers from performance degradation due to the inevitable presence of noisy annotations in distributed scenarios. Existing approaches have advanced in distinguishing noisy sam...
Efficient exploration is a central problem in reinforcement learning and is often formalized as maximizing the entropy of the state-action occupancy measure. While unconstrained maximum-entropy explor...
Low-resolution face recognition (LR-FR) remains a challenging task due to poor feature extraction and aggregation, as probe images often contain limited identity information resulting from extreme deg...
We study best-arm identification in stochastic dueling bandits under the sole assumption that a Condorcet winner exists, i.e., an arm that wins each noisy pairwise comparison with probability at least...
Advances in generative models have improved video fidelity, enabling long-horizon generation, interactive world modeling, and evolving visual environments. Autoregressive (AR) video generation extends...
Hybrid queries, which combine vector nearest neighbor searches with scalar predicates, represent a fundamental challenge in managing vector databases. Existing methods often restrict the number of vec...
Large language models (LLMs) often fail when answering requires identifying a small but decisive piece of evidence within a long or complex context, such as a single line in a tool trace or a subtle d...
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged at the forefront of 3D scene reconstruction. Extending 3DGS with language-driven, open-vocabulary understanding has gained significant attention for real-world...
Diffusion models have shown promising performance as data-driven priors for computational imaging, as well as some capacity to detect out-of-distribution (OOD) images. However, existing approaches to ...
