Tracking Is Not Permanence: What Video World Models Keep of a Hidden Object

Video world models track objects they can see; we ask what they keep of objects they cannot. We hide an object from a frozen V-JEPA 2 predictor and compare its prediction for the hidden region with the encoder's representation of two worlds that differ only inside that region. The predictor's decision keeps a stationar...

A doctrine-grounded visual question answering dataset for Tactical Combat Casualty Care

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) requires responders to connect visual observations of injuries and interventions with established clinical guidance. Developing vision-language models to support this process requires supervision that links visible evidence to traceable doctrine. We present TC3-VQA, a dataset constru...

SharedKV-BT: Node-Local Typed Decisions for Behavior-Tree Agents

Agent tasks require sequences of interdependent decisions. Autoregressive models support more flexible decision interfaces than conventional classifiers but incur the latency of token-by-token generation. Recent shared-prefix methods reduce this cost by reusing encoded context and scoring multiple decisions in parallel...

Responsible Institutional Analytics: Interpreting Bias with AI Support

Institutional Analytics (IA) dashboards inform decision-making in higher education, yet data limitations, constraints in analytical techniques, and missing contextual information often affect their interpretation. To support more responsible interpretation of IA, we introduce FACTRIA, a framework that organizes potenti...

Smart Content Ingestion for Generative AI Workloads

The evolution of machine learning has progressively changed where intelligence resides in an AI system. In conventional machine learning the task, data representation, labels and model architecture were tightly coupled, so data preparation was narrow, schema-bound and visible. Generative AI decouples the model from any...

SEAL: Mixture-Closed Additive Reconstruction and Refinement-Aware Expert Routing for Efficient Speech Separation

Compact time-frequency separators that mask the mixture and refine through a shared cell face two limits. First, a bounded multiplicative mask only scales a mixture bin, so where overlapping components cancel, the estimate stays small. Second, a shared cell applies the same weights to every time-frequency token at ever...

GIVE-KWS: Gated Injection of Visual Evidence for Noise-Robust Query-by-Example Keyword Spotting

Visual speech promises noise-robust keyword spotting, yet a visual stream is not necessarily used. On a tri-modal query-by-example keyword spotting (QbyE-KWS) benchmark, we find that a system with a task-trained visual encoder comes within 2 percentage points of a text-and-audio system in equal error rate (EER) at -10...

Beyond Refusal Patterns: Safe-Role Internalization for Robust and Generalizable LLM Safety Alignment

SSRFT shows substantially greater robustness to prefilling attacks and better generalization to unseen jailbreak domains, while reducing over-refusal on benign queries and preserving the model's general capabilities, establishing safe-role internalization as an effective alternative to refusal-centric safety alignment.

AegisFlow: A Multi-Agent Agentic AI Framework for Autonomous Remediation and Self-Healing in Fragile Data Ecosystems

Traditional data pipelines are notoriously brittle, often failing due to upstream schema drift, API contract changes, or website DOM modifications. Present observability tools only raise alerts but for human engineers, resulting in a high Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and operational fatigue. In this paper we propose Aegi...

Nord-Parl-TTS: Finnish and Swedish TTS Dataset from Parliament Speech

Text-to-speech (TTS) development is limited by scarcity of high-quality, publicly available speech data for most languages outside a few high-resource languages. We present Nord-Parl-TTS, an open TTS dataset for Finnish and Swedish based on speech found in the wild. Using recordings of Nordic parliamentary proceedings,...

Pronunciation Editing for Finnish Speech using Phonetic Posteriorgrams

Synthesizing second-language (L2) speech is potentially highly valued for L2 language learning experience and feedback. However, due to the lack of L2 speech synthesis datasets, it is difficult to synthesize L2 speech for low-resourced languages. In this paper, we provide a practical solution for editing native speech...
