Large-scale scene data is essential for training and testing in robot learning. Neural reconstruction methods have promised the capability of reconstructing large physically-grounded outdoor scenes from captured sensor data. However, these methods have baked-in static environments and only allow for limited scene contr...

Socially interactive humanoids aim to interact with humans through their bodies, adapting in real time to a partner's movement, intent, and abilities. This requires models that understand both how bodies move and what their movements mean. Yet, existing evaluation frameworks for interactive motion generation do not ass...
Is Bangladesh replenishing the groundwater it depends on? Answering this question remains difficult in Bangladesh and worldwide because sparse in-situ measurements limit observational capabilities, while existing machine-learning approaches struggle to generalize across time and space. To address this bottleneck, we de...

This paper investigates the novel application of Large Language Models (LLMs) with vision capabilities to analyze satellite imagery for village-level poverty prediction. Although LLMs were originally designed for natural language understanding, their adaptability to perform multimodal tasks, including geospatial analys...

We propose a robust Q-learning algorithm for Markov decision processes under model uncertainty when each state--action pair is associated with a finite ambiguity set of candidate transition kernels. This finite-measure framework enables user-designed uncertainty models, including competing fitted models and stress scen...
The phenomenon of implicit bias has attracted interest in recent years as a fundamental aspect of the remarkable generalizing ability of neural networks. In a nutshell, it entails that gradient descent dynamics in many neural nets, even without any explicit regularizer in the loss function, converges to the solution of...

Agent trajectories often contain both successful decisions and failed attempts, yet optimization with sparse trajectory-level rewards struggles to identify which critical decisions should be reinforced or suppressed. We observe that meaningful distinctions among on-policy trajectories can be distilled into natural-lang...

Dense labels of the aorta in CT are slow to draw, and the public aortic CT datasets that could stand in for them each label different structures under their own conventions. Large language model (LLM) agents can now write code and read images. We asked whether such a model labels these scans better as a free-form agent...
Egocentric observations provide a robot-centric view of manipulation processes, capturing contact interactions and object-state changes that are important for visuomotor policy learning but difficult to observe from external cameras. However, collecting such data at scale remains expensive due to additional hardware re...

World action models increasingly rely on pretrained diffusion/flow-based video generators assumed to capture physical dynamics for prediction, planning, and action generation. Existing evaluations assess plausibility, probe representations, or measure predictive surprise, yet physical consistency is history-dependent:...

Tree-based speculative decoding accelerates large language model inference by verifying multiple candidate branches in parallel. However, in practical serving scenarios, similar requests repeatedly induce overlapping candidate branches. While retrieval-based methods mitigate this by reusing historical drafts, the resul...

Hospitals are rapidly adopting artificial intelligence for triage, imaging, scheduling etc., yet most deployments remain isolated point solutions locked inside departmental silos, resulting in duplicated effort, hidden risks, and unrealized enterprise value. Despite explosive growth of AI in healthcare market and accel...
