We introduce HERO'S JOURNEY, a benchmark for rule induction in goal-directed episodic tasks, where agents must infer hidden rules from demonstrations and act on them through multi-step execution. HERO'S JOURNEY covers eight tasks across attribute and procedural induction…
Despite advances in depth estimation, flying points remain a persistent failure mode: near object boundaries, depth estimators often predict spurious 3D points in the empty space between foreground and background surfaces. We trace this artifact to a standard modeling choice…
Word Error Rate (WER) is the dominant metric for automatic speech recognition (ASR), but it can overestimate errors when references and hypotheses encode the same words in different scripts. This issue is common in multilingual settings where ASR models may emit romanized text…
Self-harm is a major public health concern, but current surveillance relying on hospital presentations is inadequate due to the low sensitivity of diagnostic codes. Emergency Department (ED) triage notes, recorded at the initial point of contact, provide a succinct summary of…
Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive (AR) LLMs, offering faster inference through parallel or blockwise decoding. However, their masked language modeling formulation remains incompatible with standard…
Agent skills occupy a privileged position in the agent workflow, as agents are expected to implicitly follow and execute them, rendering third-party skills a vulnerable attack surface. Existing studies have revealed unsafe agent behaviors induced by skill-based attacks, but…
From CFD and FEA to digital twins, carmaking now involves a lot of virtualization.
Text files such as skill files, memory files, and behavioral configuration files play a central role in defining how modern agents act. Through edits by humans or the agents themselves, these files may evolve over time, directly steering the agent's behavior in future…
Aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) with human values often degrades their general capabilities, termed the alignment tax. Existing methods mitigate this by balancing dual objectives, which heavily rely on massive general-purpose data or auxiliary reward models. In this…
Large language models now power robo-advisors and trading agents, yet whether they carry built-in biases toward specific assets is largely untested. We ask three questions: do LLMs systematically prefer certain financial instruments; can an internal representation with causal…
Long-tailed recognition poses a significant challenge for deep learning. The two-stage decoupling paradigm, which separates representation learning from classifier retraining, offers a promising solution. During the classifier retraining stage, adaptive norm rescaling is a…
Suicide memes are memes used to express suicide-related thoughts or comment on suicide-related issues. Suicide memes are increasingly common on social media, yet remain poorly understood and potentially harmful. There is an urgent need to better understand their characteristics…
Video multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made rapid progress on general and long-form video understanding, yet their ability to preserve brief answer-critical visual evidence remains underexplored. Many practical questions are determined by momentary visual events…
One-step text-to-image generators are attractive for deployment because they generate an image with a single forward pass, but preference finetuning them remains difficult: standard alignment methods often rely on policy likelihoods, denoising trajectories, differentiable…
Optimal transport (OT) provides a principled framework for mapping between probability distributions. Despite extensive progress, applying OT to large-scale data remains computationally demanding, and the resulting pointwise transport plans are often difficult to interpret. We…
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood, and its diagnosis relies on assessments combining clinician judgment with standardized rating scales and reports from parents and teachers. While structured…
Inverse materials design is shifting materials discovery from forward prediction to targeted proposal of candidates that satisfy objectives under physical constraints. Here, we review recent advances in generative crystal structure modeling, multimodal learning, and closed-loop…
Lawsuit seeks $12,000 from startup that allegedly damaged home in robot tests.
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) unify heterogeneous vision-language tasks under a shared generative framework via instruction tuning, yet real-world deployment demands continuous capability expansion, making Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning (MCIT) essential…
Time series forecasting has advanced rapidly, especially with the emergence of foundation models that show strong zero-shot performance on numerical extrapolation. However, in real-world forecasting settings, a statistically plausible baseline is rarely the final forecast used…
Agentic systems entering production typically operate as partially integrated assemblies where structural defects, not task-level errors, dominate the failure landscape. At this maturity level, task-level error detection may be infeasible: structural failure modes mask the…
Large language models (LLMs) are being increasingly used to answer subjective, information-seeking questions, where users are sensitive to how responses are communicated, not just whether the answers are correct. Existing LLM evaluations for subjective cultural queries largely…
This work studies neural architectures for classifying symmetric positive-definite matrices, focusing on congruence-like layers, in which the input matrix is multiplied on the left and right by a (possibly rectangular) weight matrix $W$ and its transpose. Such layers lie at the…
Our approach to AI policy and political advocacy, transparency, support for thoughtful regulation and AI safety, and that no outside political group speaks on the company’s behalf.
Multi-hop question-answering systems often use expensive retrieval on every question. They may decompose the question, run several retrieval rounds, or search through bridge entities before answering. All of these strategies rely on repeated LLM calls to rewrite or decompose…
Effective "all-team" summarization in high-complexity settings like the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) requires aggregating insights from diverse disciplines (physicians, nurses, therapists) spread across hundreds of clinical free-text notes. Simply pooling heterogeneous…
Recent advances in large language models and agentic AI systems have enabled significant progress in mathematical discovery, from solving competition problems to tackling research-level conjectures. However, open problems in computational mathematics have received comparatively…
Tool-augmented language agents speculatively issue likely future tool calls to hide latency, but those calls leak inferred user intent to external services before the agent commits to the branch. Every external observer that received the call retains the disclosure after the…
Classical finite-difference solvers remain reliable tools for partial differential equations, but their efficiency depends on where mesh resolution is placed. Uniform refinement can waste degrees of freedom when solution difficulty is localised near sharp gradients, fronts…
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as a transformative standard for connecting large language models (LLMs) with external data sources and tools, and has been rapidly adopted across personal applications and development platforms. However, existing benchmarks…
