EarthAlign and MeteoLIP provide a foundation for learning and evaluating language-aligned representations of Earth system data and improve upon the corresponding CLIP and SigLIP baselines across three downstream tasks: cross-modal retrieval, weather-condition classification, and physical variable estimation.

We study autoregressive token generation through the notion of sequential samplers: A circuit that samples the next symbol only given the previous ones and possibly a small amount of state. We show that (1) a sequential sampler with $k$ bits of state can be simulated by a stateless one at a roughly $O(2^{k})$ size over...

Protocol specifications rarely justify executable behavior in one place: a transition may inherit its source state from a remote control block, name its events only by number, and remain subject to a later correction. Recovering the nearby clause is therefore insufficient; the system must assemble a source-linked certi...
This work proposes an agentic, human-aligned prompting framework that generates multi-category relevance guidelines and distills teacher-model judgments into an efficient student model for scalable evaluation of DPA retrieval systems, enabling faster and more reliable DPA retrieval iteration before A/B testing.

Physical systems and distributed AI workflows can retain past information, receive delayed feedback and combine conflicting signals. These features pose a common modeling problem: determining what information about past interactions a state must retain to account for future responses. Active Neural Matter (ANM) address...
To operate distributed applications with high availability, operators must rapidly diagnose and mitigate any incident. LLM-based agents can help, but unlike experienced human operators they do not improve as they handle more incidents. Each investigation starts from scratch, re-deriving likely causes and re-testing hyp...

Emerging strong Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have advanced navigation foundation models. However, these models still have unsatisfactory performance on goal-oriented navigation settings. In this paper, we first conduct a motivating study revealing that the key issue lies in the insufficient utilization of streaming ob...

Multi-robot systems (MRS) offer significant advantages over single-robot platforms by enabling information sharing and coordination for different tasks in complex environments. However, reliable cooperation critically depends on inferring trust over both information sources and their reported hypotheses, particularly u...

Diffusion models pose significant risks regarding the generation of illicit content and copyright violations. This has catalyzed the development of machine unlearning to erase harmful concepts or copyrighted styles from a model's generative repertoire without compromising its general performance. However, previous unle...

Many widely used activation functions, including ReLU, GELU, Swish, and Sigmoid, produce predominantly positive outputs, resulting in a nonzero post-activation mean that we term activation bias. Despite its ubiquity, the effect of activation bias on learning dynamics remains poorly understood. Using controlled models,...

While language therapy is the primary treatment for post-stroke aphasia, limited clinical resources often restrict patient access to proper care. Addressing this gap requires reliable training simulations for medical professionals. However, current AI efforts focus almost exclusively on speech processing, leaving speec...

Robustness tests for tool-using agents often change the agent's environment, for example by hiding a hostile note in an invoice, and then judge the agent by what it does. The result tells us about the original task only if the changed test case is still a valid test of that task. Many evaluations decide this with weak...
