Deep neural networks achieve strong performance across many tasks but remain vulnerable to adversarial perturbations. Adversarial training (AT) is one of the most effective defenses, yet it suffers from high memory cost on large models and the persistent clean-robust accuracy trade-off. Recent work introduces parameter...
Formula-Driven Supervised Learning (FDSL) enables vision pre-training without real images, but existing methods cast pre-training as classification on discretized labels, discarding continuity in the generative process. We propose Formula-Driven Supervised Metric Learning (FDSML), which derives relational supervision f...

ExLabel is proposed, an LLM-based, self-evolving, experience-guided assistant for task clarity and test coverage assessment in SWE datasets that maintains an evolving experience bank that distills cross-instance knowledge into stable yet adaptive judgment criteria and reuses relevant experience to guide the assessment...

Many applications of multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) require policies that balance conflicting objectives while satisfying safety constraints. We study safe MORL with zero constraint violation throughout learning, covering both cumulative and stepwise constraints. A key challenge is to explore sufficientl...

Quantifying degradation between a pristine signal and its degraded observation is fundamental to signal processing, yet existing full-reference measures are inherently modality-specific. We introduce SymKL, a unified full-reference degradation measure based on implicit neural representations (INRs). An INR is fitted on...

Analog flows from specifications to a signed-off layout rarely run without manual iteration. Recent large language model (LLM) agents size circuits with optimizer loops over the device dimensions and stop at the schematic. We present OPERA (OPamp design by an Expert-taught Reasoning Agent), in which a general-purpose L...
Universal Manipulation Interface (UMI) devices allow human experts to demonstrate tasks for robot learning without teleoperating physical robots. Using these demonstrations as training data still requires a consistent hardware setup, calibration, and data processing. We present UMI-Live, a full-stack open-source bimanu...

AI infrastructure, the chips and software that train and serve AI models, is designed in layers. Layers make the system manageable, but they also fix which choices an optimizer can consider. Gains that need the chip and its software to change together are excluded before optimization begins: the formulation leaves them...
Research on medical item difficulty has largely focused on prediction rather than on identifying interpretable patterns associated with empirical difficulty. This study used empirical difficulty labels to guide large language models (LLMs) in inducing difficulty rubrics and examined how rubric guidance affected LLM dif...

The decoding order of masked diffusion language models (dLLMs) can substantially affect generation quality, yet common decoders typically apply the same reveal rule throughout generation. Confidence provides a strong default, but it measures how decisively a position can be predicted now, not how useful revealing that...

Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to perform old-category recognition and novel-category discovery in the same unlabeled set. Early methods address both objectives through clustering and evaluate the exchangeable predicted indices with global Hungarian (GH) matching. Recent methods adopt trainable parametric he...

Frontier language models such as GPT 6 Astra have contributed to research mathematics, demonstrating substantial reasoning capabilities. Yet serious reasoning failures persist even in tasks governed by explicit rules. We demonstrate this in retrograde chess which is a playground for pure reasoning, where solvers recons...
