Existing robot video world models are typically trained with low-level objectives such as reconstruction and perceptual similarity, which are poorly aligned with the capabilities that matter most for robot decision making, including instruction following, manipulation success, and physical plausibility. They also suffe...
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a high-prevalence pregnancy complication that requires accurate early risk stratification to reduce maternal and fetal morbidity. However, real-world clinical deployment of machine learning is hindered by two coupled constraints: (i) label scarcity, where a large fraction of elect...
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) hallucinate objects that are not present, and a growing line of work tries to curb this by feeding the model its own generated caption as auxiliary evidence -- assuming that a caption, once available, is something to consume. We show this fails: naively appending a caption can lower accura...
Graphics and compute increasingly share a single GPU in embodied AI simulators, AI-enabled games, and VR systems. Running these workloads concurrently can improve utilization, but contention can also compromise rendering and inference latency. Effective sharing therefore requires control over both concurrency and resou...

The DRAGON dataset contains 11,664 annotated question instances from six diagram QA datasets, with a 2,445-instance test set carrying human-verified evidence annotations and a standardized evaluation framework, which supports future research on models that ground their predictions in visual evidence.

Greedy AI alignment methods based on Bradley-Terry reward-model fitting and KL-regularized Alignment are remarkably effective in both offline and online preference-learning pipelines, yet existing O(log T) online and O(1/epsilon) offline KL-regularized regret rate guarantees can seem pessimistic relative to their empir...
Despite recent advances in state space models (SSMs) such as Mamba across various sequence domains, research on their standalone capacity for time series classification (TSC) has remained limited. We propose MambaSL, a framework that minimally redesigns the selective SSM and projection layers of a single-layer Mamba, g...
Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) aim to integrate visual understanding and generation within a single structure. However, these models exhibit a notable capability mismatch, where their understanding capability often outperforms their generation capability. This mismatch suggests that the model's rich internal knowledg...
Lightning OPD is proposed, an offline on-policy distillation framework that enforces teacher consistency and eliminates the need for a live teacher server entirely and achieves comparable performance to standard OPD while delivering 4.0x higher training efficiency.

Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
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.
