SceneBloom is introduced, an agentic framework that combines visual layout sampling with contract-guided 3D compilation that attains the highest visual quality and physical stability among the compared methods and is the only method with no detected mesh collisions and out-of-bounds objects.
Robust reinforcement learning (RL) is critical for reliable real-world deployment, where policies may fail under diverse shifts and disruptions. Existing robust RL algorithms offer a rich set of mechanisms and principles, yet two major barriers limit their broader potential: limited algorithm reusability and an unclear...
Collecting high-quality demonstrations remains a central bottleneck for learning dexterous manipulation. Teleoperation records executable robot actions, but it requires a complete robot setup and places the burden of coordinating many finger joints on the operator. Human demonstrations are easier to collect, but their...

Objective: To develop a unified vision-language model for prompt-conditioned quantitative ultrasound measurement that addresses the mismatch between continuous measurement targets and discrete token-based numerical prediction. Methods: This article presents HAD-VLM, a hybrid autoregressive-diffusion framework that comb...

Large language model (LLM) platforms introducing advertising must decide how much capability ad revenue should fund and what consumers should pay to avoid ads. We study a monopolistic platform that jointly chooses costly response quality, advertising intensity, and subscription prices when advertising reduces user valu...
Yalda Embedding, a 595.8-million-parameter Persian retrieval model adapted from Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B, is presented, a 595.8-million-parameter Persian retrieval model using more than one million query-document pairs and achieves the highest macro-average among the evaluated 0.6B models.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used to optimize code for performance. This practice often assumes that improvements in execution speed naturally translate into overall lower energy consumption. We challenge this assumption empirically by measuring whether performance-optimized code produced by LLM self-r...

Fine-tuning on datasets of unknown origin can create a backdoor in the trained model when the data includes poisoned examples. Difficult to localise and remove, backdoors can persist through safety training. While parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods capture the full parameter changes introduced during training, the...

This work introduces PoKER, a novel probabilistic model engineered to optimize missile launch effectiveness in air-to-air scenarios, specifically within Beyond Visual Range (BVR) air combat. Unlike conventional Weapon Engagement Zone (WEZ) models that delineate zones based on static distances such as maximum, minimum,...

We learn schedules for a continuous penalty relaxation of MAX-CUT by backpropagating through an unrolled classical solver. A state-blind schedule generalizes to instances substantially larger than those used for training. A state-adaptive bilinear schedule also generalizes out of distribution, outperforming its untrain...

Hospitals regularly buy software that clinicians and patients depend on. Because these purchases are costly, hard to reverse and can affect patient care, buyers look for evidence of which peer institutions already use a product and which systems it connects to. This evidence is public but scattered across vendor websit...

This work investigates demographic biases in LLM-emulated electorates: how accurately LLMs represent individual votes, whether some voter groups are represented more accurately than others, and whether AI alignment can reduce these disparities without sacrificing overall accuracy.
