Modern model hubs store hundreds of petabytes of large language models (LLMs), with fine-tuned variants dominating the storage footprint. These variants contain substantial cross-model redundancy that delta compression can exploit by storing only the difference between a target and a reference model. However, compressi...

Recent diffusion-based models achieve photorealism in image inpainting but require many sampling steps, limiting practical use. Few-step text-to-image models offer faster generation, but naively applying them to inpainting yields poor harmonization and artifacts between the background and inpainted region. We trace thi...

Which properties of hard-negative supervision track dense-retriever transfer before training? We compare lexical noncoverage, frozenencoder similarity statistics, hardness proxies, and combinations of these signals across BM25, dense, LLM-generated, and hybrid sources for MS MARCO training. Evaluation uses three retrie...

Medical coding, which assigns standardized ICD codes to clinical documents, is a fundamental yet challenging task in modern healthcare. It requires extensive knowledge of a large code space and the ability to identify and interpret sparse supporting evidence in long, noisy clinical documents. Most existing methods rely...

Model merging has shown that multitask models can be created by directly combining the parameters of different models that are each specialized on tasks of interest. However, models trained independently on distinct tasks often exhibit interference that degrades the merged model's performance. To solve this problem, we...

RMBench is introduced, a simulation benchmark comprising 9 manipulation tasks that span multiple levels of memory complexity, enabling systematic evaluation of policy memory capabilities and Mem-0, a modular manipulation policy with explicit memory components designed to support controlled ablation studies.

Advances in large language models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming scientific work, yet empirical evidence on how these systems reshape research activities remains limited. We report a mixed-methods pilot evaluation of an AI-orchestrated research workflow in which a human researcher coordinated multiple LLM-based agents...
Generalizable image-based person re-identification (Re-ID) aims to recognize individuals across cameras in unseen domains without retraining. While visual features are sensitive to domain shifts, natural language descriptions remain consistent across domains, regardless of lighting changes and other biases. Since well-...

Though large language models (LLMs) have enabled great success across a wide variety of tasks, they still appear to fall short of one of the loftier goals of artificial intelligence research: creating an artificial system that can adapt its behavior to radically new contexts upon deployment. One important step towards...

Modern neural architectures are largely developed as distinct empirical constructions, despite recurring principles across convolutional, attention, state-space, and equivariant models. We introduce Product Interactions, an algebraic formalism that unifies these architectures under a common construction principle and t...

Image editing models can modify visual content through natural language, but editing dense documents requires precise local changes amid tightly coupled text, tables, and layout. We introduce VDE Bench, an evaluation resource for studying instruction-guided editing of Chinese and English document images. VDE Bench cont...

What connects minimal decision-making to contextual probability? We address this question through the Tug-of-War (TOW) principle, a resource-coupled mechanism for multi-armed bandit decision-making. Starting from classical probability, we show that when reward-learning functionality and specified information requiremen...
