Ball bounces and racket hits are the events from which tennis statistics are derived, and on monocular video the two are easy to confuse. We release a benchmark of 345 bounce and hit annotations at frame level on eight clips that mix broadcast, fixed elevated, phone and court-level viewpoints, with a frozen development...

We introduce EARS-Info, an information-aware extension of Event-Driven Ant Reallocation Search for multi-robot exploration on OpenStreetMap-derived grids. It combines marginal sensing gain, feasible relocation, return-aware routing, sensing reservations, and cached shortest paths. Across 168,000 episodes comparing 30 i...

Context: Non-determinism in deep learning algorithm design and implementation leads to performance variation, meaning model performance is not a single value, but rather a distribution. These model performance distributions are underexplored despite their impact on robustness. Objective: We investigate the robustness o...
Humanoid controllers often require task-specific training despite sharing the need for balance and whole-body coordination. We present Metatron, a promptable whole-body execution layer combining a generative base policy with a programmable skill layer. The base policy receives partial goals, collectively called a promp...

Recommendation-driven platforms can reshape not only what users see, but also who becomes visible and how community boundaries are negotiated. We examine Xiaohongshu discussions surrounding a perceived World Cup-related audience influx to understand how users attributed community change and how those explanations relat...
General-purpose smart-home technologies are increasingly present in family life, yet how they support or disrupt autistic children and families with autistic children remains underexamined. We conducted a multi-source qualitative study drawing on five caregiver interviews, Xiaohongshu (also known internationally as Red...

Overall, the findings demonstrate that voice technologies can reproduce existing accent biases both by encouraging users to suppress regional features and by activating established social stereotypes through synthetic voices.

Earthquake sequences are stochastic on two separated timescales: the seismic waves of any individual earthquake propagate over seconds to minutes, while the earthquakes themselves arrive as a sparse, self-exciting occurrence process, with inter-event intervals from seconds to months. Respecting both scales in one train...

PairFormer-based all-atom models demonstrate strong capabilities in biomolecular binder design. However, existing methods often use all-atom representations for modality-specific binder design, such as protein and peptide design. In contrast, recent geometric latent diffusion models pursue unified binder design by repr...

LLM-based generative recommendation reads long, text-rich interaction histories but generates only short semantic identifiers (SIDs). This asymmetry makes supervised fine-tuning inefficient: encoding the history is expensive, yet each history usually provides supervision for only one target. We present Merge and Branch...

Time-series data play an important role in various tasks, such as weather forecasting, web traffic analysis, and speech recognition. Recently, pioneering studies have increasingly adopted Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA) based encoders to learn time-series representations through latent-space prediction....

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used as recommendation generators in conversational recommender systems (RS) via retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). This flexible design introduces new sources of structural bias. This paper studies positional bias in top-1 and single-turn LLM-based RS: systematic depend...
