Whisper-style ASR models provide strong zero-shot transcription, but their residual errors are not evenly distributed across datasets, recording conditions, and metadata-based groups. We study when lightweight low-rank adaptation (LoRA) improves Whisper and whether observed gains require group-specific adapters. Across...
Deep search enables language agents to solve complex information-seeking tasks through iterative web exploration. However, developing robust open-source agents remains challenging for three reasons. First, opaque trajectory-construction pipelines make training data difficult to audit and reproduce. Second, context comp...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) models are increasingly developed, published and used across scientific fields. Researchers, students and industry professionals who want to apply these models to their own research questions often lack the programming and data science expertise to do so. Existing guidelines cover single st...

Drug discovery remains a resource-intensive and time-consuming process, involving billions of dollars and a decade of development to advance a drug to market. While many in silico tools have accelerated this process, operating them still demands substantial time, effort, and expertise from medicinal chemists. Autonomou...

Short-video search requires compact query rewriters that infer personalized intent from brief, ambiguous queries under strict latency constraints. The challenge is to decide when personalization is warranted and generate a reformulation that preserves the user's immediate information need. A rewriter optimized for flue...

The European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act introduces a structured framework for governing high-risk AI systems, emphasizing transparency, risk management, and role-specific accountability. However, current assessment practices often rely on monolithic system views or disconnected checklists, limiting their abili...
Does providing additional context to automated AI auditors improve their effectiveness? Using the Petri tool to audit LLM coding agents, we test the impact of providing two types of resources (an external codebase and benchmark transcripts) to LLM auditors, across four auditor-target LLM pairs and three behaviours (har...

Bayesian Networks (BNs) are established tools for letting agents reason under uncertainty in sequential decision-making. They split a joint distribution into local conditional mechanisms arranged on a directed acyclic graph, which makes them modular, interpretable, and ready to perform probabilistic inference. Their cl...

LLMs are used as high-level controllers for embodied agents, but it remains unclear whether they support collaborative reasoning, such as anticipating a collaborator's actions in real-time teamwork without dialogue. We ask if observing the partner's state, exchanging object knowledge, and predicting the partner's next...

Transparency in AI-supported decision systems is widely required but poorly defined. Existing approaches treat transparency as a property of systems or components, producing characteristic failures: assessments that do not transfer across organizational boundaries, stakeholder questions that cannot be formulated within...

There is a specific challenge designers face in developing autonomous robots capable of open-ended learning. This challenge is how one can develop such systems in an ethically sound way when there are many unknowns during design time about their manner of deployment, what they can and will learn, and how these systems...

Target-aware multimodal instruction selection requires useful examples and an appropriate balance of supervision. Sample-level rankings can overrepresent similar content without optimizing this balance; group-level methods face coarse units, predefined set-level validation signals, and costly or inaccurate mixture sear...
