Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (MM-RAG) augments visual question answering (VQA) with external knowledge, but many systems rely on modular pipelines that separate visual grounding, query construction, and answer generation. This separation can propagate errors from intermediate detections, masks, or captions...

Unified remote sensing multimodal models exhibit a pronounced spatial reversal curse: Although they can accurately recognize and describe object locations in images, they often fail to faithfully execute the same spatial relations during text-to-image generation, where such relations constitute core semantic informatio...
Counterfactual storytelling exposes LLM shortcomings in causal reasoning, where few-shot prompting and SFT fail to produce logical and rational narratives. This case study introduces Retell, Reward, Repeat (RRR), a narrative theory-informed RL pipeline that teaches causal story structure. We extend an existing counterf...

Foundation models are used for many real-world applications involving language understanding and generation from temporally-ordered multimodal events. In this work, we study the ability of models to identify the most important sub-events in a video, which is a fundamental prerequisite for summarizing, reasoning over, o...

This work provides the first systematic investigation into probing model internals across a conversation trajectory, moving beyond static, single-prompt analysis to capture the evolving state of privacy-sensitive interactions, and illustrating their applicability across contexts, attack styles, multiple base models, an...
NeuroVLA is introduced, a brain-inspired architecture that couples a cortical vision-language planner to recurrent cerebellar modulation and a stateful spiking spinal controller that translates semantic intent into actions while incorporating high-frequency proprioceptive and force feedback, maintaining short-term moto...

Video summarization transforms long videos into concise representations that are easier to document and analyze, especially in high-stakes domains such as surgical training. However, long-form videos often require dense frame processing or supervised training pipelines, which can be computationally expensive and may st...

An operation's input-output function does not, by itself, determine its computational role within a represented process. That role also depends on the processes producing its inputs and receiving its outputs, a philosophical stance termed deep learning externalism (DLE). We develop a mathematical account of represented...
Large language models (LLMs) often produce judgments similar to those of humans, but their interpretation of figurative language remains unclear. We compared human participants and four instruction-tuned LLMs (GPT-4, Gemma-2-9B, Llama-3.2, and Mistral-7B) on their ratings of 240 dialogue-based sentences spanning six li...

Achieving robust humanoid locomotion in complex, unstructured environments requires transitioning from reactive proprioception to proactive perception. However, integrating exteroception remains a significant challenge: existing approaches often fail to achieve high-speed, stable locomotion across diverse, unstructured...

Discrete motion tokenization has recently enabled Large Language Models (LLMs) to serve as versatile backbones for motion understanding and motion-language reasoning. However, existing pipelines typically decouple motion quantization from semantic embedding learning, linking them solely via token IDs. This approach fai...

Alignment in large language models (LLMs) is still largely static: after training, the policy is frozen. DPO, GRPO methods typically imprint one behavior into the weights, leaving little runtime control beyond prompt hacks or expensive re-alignment. We introduce ECLIPTICA, which treats alignment as instruction-driven a...
