Unlocking Spatial Grounding in Large Audio-Visual Retrieval models

Weak supervision sets a practical regime for audio-visual sound source localization as dense spatial annotations are costly to obtain at scale. The task, however, remains challenging, as models must locate sound sources from temporally aligned audio-visual data without pixel-level supervision. Recent large-scale audio-...

A Safety-First Gateway Architecture for Trusted Public Health Resource Navigation

Conversational AI can improve access to public health information, but public-facing healthcare applications require safeguards against inappropriate medical guidance and unsupported generation. We present a Safety-First Science Gateway for maternal and child health (MCH) resource navigation that combines large languag...

Does Anthropomorphic Language Impact Public Perceptions of AI?

The results indicate that any immediate effects on opinions of AI are modest, although they leave open the possibility that anthropomorphic language could have an effect in naturalistic settings, or over gradual, continued exposure.

Is Agent Code Less Maintainable Than Human Code?

It is found that agents are less effective at resolving tasks when building on agent code compared to human code, with task resolve rate drops of up to 13.1%.

Temporal Self-Imitation Learning

Temporal Self-Imitation Learning (TSIL), a reinforcement learning framework that mines temporally efficient successful trajectories generated during learning and converts them into reusable supervision for future policy improvement, is introduced.

Skill-MAS: Evolving Meta-Skill for Automatic Multi-Agent Systems

Skill-MAS is proposed, a novel third path that decouples experience retention from parametric updates by conceptualizing the high-level orchestration capability as an evolvable Meta-Skill and is revealed to be highly robust and exhibit strong transferability across unseen tasks and different LLMs.

ActiveSAM: Fast and Accurate Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation with Frozen SAM 3

Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM 3) provides a strong frozen backbone for concept-prompted segmentation, but applying it directly to open-vocabulary semantic segmentation (OVSS) is inefficient: full-resolution decoding is typically run over the entire dataset vocabulary, whereas each image contains only a small active sub...

UPLOTS: A Unified Pretrained Language Model for Constrained Time-series Generation

This work proposes UPLOTS, a Unified, Prompt-guided Language model framework that leverages a single pre-trained transformer backbone guided by learned constraint prompts, enabling on-demand generation with precise pattern control in time-series generation.

Fisher-Guided Progressive Parameter Selection for Adaptive Fine-Tuning

Under a local Gaussian approximation, the divergence between the fine-tuned posterior and pretrained prior is bound by accumulated Fisher-weighted update costs, motivating curvature-aware selection in parameter groups based on temporal drift in their Fisher information.

HANDOFF: Humanoid Agentic Task-Space Whole-Body Control via Distilled Complementary Teachers

Humanoid loco-manipulation benefits from one controller to coordinate locomotion, arm movements, and fall recovery. These behaviors are difficult to learn together from scratch because they require different skills and objectives. We present HANDOFF, a training architecture that distills motion-tracking, locomotion, an...

Who we become when we talk to machines

Professor Sherry Turkle’s new book, “Artificial Intimacy,” offers a withering critique of chatbots and the antisocial dynamics she believes they encourage.
