As a key model compression technique, knowledge distillation aims to transfer knowledge from a high-capacity teacher model to a lightweight student model for enhancing the latter's performance. In this work, we reviewed the feature knowledge distillation for 3D-CNNs and observed that most feature distillation methods i...

Flat roofs are among the most influential components of the building envelope, governing both structural performance and thermal efficiency, and thereby contributing directly to household energy consumption, carbon emissions, and long-term environmental sustainability. Timely detection of roof defects is essential for...
Data-driven driving simulators command accelerations and steering rates from a fixed grid without constraining the realized accelerations and jerks. As a result, reinforcement-learning policies inflate safety metrics through abrupt, last-second maneuvers that lie far outside the range of human driving and would be unac...

Large language models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance on a wide range of natural language tasks, and recent benchmarks suggest that they are increasingly adept at multi-hop reasoning. However, these benchmarks are typically short-horizon, requiring only a small number of retrieval or inference steps, and provid...

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) creates a structural advantage for offloading: only a small fraction of activated experts need to reside in device memory, and if they can be loaded in time for computation, offloading can in principle approach full-load performance, where all model weights reside in device memory. Yet translat...

Text-based person search (TBPS) aims to retrieve images of a target person from a large image gallery based on a given natural language description. Most existing methods rely on supervised learning with manually annotated image-text pairs. In this paper, we explore unsupervised TBPS, with only unlabeled images. We pro...

Proposed governance framework for autonomous robotic systems, introducing a three-layer compliance architecture (ARC) instantiated through model safety validation, cognitive certification benchmarks, and operational authorization standards.
Large-scale multi-label text classification assigns a small subset of relevant labels to each document from a vocabulary containing thousands or tens of thousands of candidate labels. Although pretrained language models have improved semantic text representations, most representation-based approaches center their predi...

Fine-grained robotic manipulation depends on understanding parts, not only whole objects. Existing 3D foundation models tend to be either generalized but object-aware, or part-aware but limited to closed-set taxonomies, which weakens zero-shot transfer. We study text-conditioned 3D part segmentation, where a free-form...

LLM-based agents rely on heterogeneous interaction capabilities to accomplish complex tasks. Existing approaches often distribute these capabilities across multiple LoRA adapters, which increases adapter storage requirements and introduces routing overhead during inference. A single LoRA avoids this overhead, but learn...

In autoregressive forecasting, long prediction rollouts provide distant supervision, but backpropagation through time (BPTT) carries gradients from those losses through many autoregressive steps. Repeated Jacobian products can make distant gradients dominate the update while amplifying predictable signal and unpredicta...

Datasets are a crucial element in the development of perception algorithms. They relate sensor measurement data to annotated reference information and allow for the deduction of sensor and object characteristics. In autonomous driving, the reference data commonly consist of semantic image segmentation, point-wise assoc...

With $2.1 million funding from Google.org, the open-source Public Transit Intelligence Hub will unify public transit monitoring, operations, and passenger communication.
Professor Sherry Turkle’s new book, “Artificial Intimacy,” offers a withering critique of chatbots and the antisocial dynamics she believes they encourage.
