Dexterous teleoperation requires reliable human-hand state estimations. However, common low-cost motion-capture gloves and markerless trackers often exhibit biases that vary across users, glove fit, and recording sessions, degrading retargeting and demonstration quality. We present YOCO, a fast few-shot, fine-tuning-fr …
To stream long videos while maintaining visual quality and temporal consistency, Self Forcing mitigates exposure bias through self-rollout training on self-generated histories with key-value (KV) caching. To keep memory manageable, it detaches historical caches, preserving forward dependencies between chunks but severi …
Humanoid loco-manipulation requires coordinated locomotion and manipulation informed by future scene evolution and whole-body motion, yet learning these capabilities is constrained by scarce robot demonstrations. Human video and motion datasets offer scalable supervision, but many contain only video or motion rather th …
Neural simulation of high-fidelity deformable bodies is a foundational challenge in computer graphics and physical AI. Long-horizon prediction for high-resolution 3D volumetric meshes is difficult: autoregressive methods are susceptible to error accumulation, while direct multi-frame prediction at native resolution is …
Accurate short-term load forecasting (STLF) is essential for the reliable and efficient operation of modern power systems. While time series foundation models (TSFMs) have recently demonstrated remarkable performance across a wide range of forecasting tasks, their effectiveness for STLF under realistic operational cond …
Visuomotor policies can execute familiar tasks yet lack the corrective behavior needed after their own mistakes. We present a framework for recursive self-improvement through local recovery supervision. Each round audits the current policy, generates corrective demonstrations at supported failure states, and uses them …
Infrared small-target detection plays an important role in maritime monitoring and aerial surveillance. Although multimodal large language models (MLLMs) offer promising capabilities for visual understanding, existing MLLM-based approaches struggle to precisely localize infrared small targets. In this paper, we propose …
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have achieved remarkable advances in robotic manipulation, yet their zero-shot generalization under out-of-distribution (OOD) conditions remains limited. These models often entangle task-relevant invariant structure with environment-specific non-invariant factors, causing policies to …
Robots can acquire bad habits from a few defective moments in otherwise useful teleoperation. In mixed-quality robot data, normal and problematic demonstrations share most task behavior and differ only at a local action continuation. Full retraining is costly, while fine-tuning on clean data alone offers limited recove …
End-to-end autonomous driving policies are commonly trained via imitation learning on logged demonstrations without observing the consequences of their own actions, leading to causal confusion in closed-loop real-world deployment. To address this issue, reinforcement learning (RL) post-training offers a promising alter …
Audio-visual large language models (AVLLMs) have made remarkable progress in multimodal understanding and reasoning through interactions among visual, auditory, and linguistic information. However, recent studies show that AVLLMs face a critical challenge: $\textbf{source-confused grounding hallucination}$, where cues …
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as social agents, yet credible human-like interaction requires more than fluent responses or persona consistency. Agents must autonomously decide whether, when, and how to communicate while adapting to evolving contexts, goals, and relationships. Existing research, …
Whole slide image classification is a fundamental task in computational pathology, where patch representation quality directly affects downstream aggregation and slide-level discriminability. Pathology foundation models are widely adopted as frozen feature extractors for WSI classification; however, their fixed encoder …
Masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) decode by repeatedly committing tokens to masked positions, but these commitments are usually irreversible. A token chosen under sparse, partial context is kept fixed, even when later context no longer supports it. Existing samplers mainly decide when to commit a token, but rare …
We present VGGT-Diff, a geometry-routed multi-view diffusion model for sparse-view novel view synthesis. Existing novel view synthesis (NVS) methods face a fundamental trade-off: reconstruction-based approaches preserve observed geometry but struggle to synthesize unseen regions, while diffusion-based methods provide s …
Brain-to-language decoding translates neural activity associated with language production, internal speech and perception into linguistic or expressive outputs. It offers a route to restoring communication after speech loss and a means of studying how the brain represents language. Advances in neural recording and repr …
A conformal abstention certificate for text-to-SQL is only as truthful as the correctness labels it is calibrated on. The uncertainty pipelines that read confidence off execution consistency take those labels from the single database a benchmark ships, an oracle known to be lenient. We run a preregistered intervention …
Underwater robot learning relies on simulators that integrate high-fidelity hydrodynamics, convenient learning interfaces, and a credible transition to real scenarios. In this work, we present FinsSim, a reality-aligned integrated simulation platform for Sim-to-Real underwater robot learning. FinsSim first constructs h …
Training embodied foundation models typically requires massive-scale datasets and extensive computational resources, yet often suffers from three critical limitations: (1) inefficient sample utilization due to low-informative samples; (2) imbalanced gradient contributions across heterogeneous tasks; and (3) severe cred …
A vision-language-action (VLA) policy with a flow-matching action expert generates each action chunk (a short command sequence) by integrating a learned velocity field; once its weights are fixed, the success or failure of an earlier rollout cannot change the chunk generated now. Concurrent test-time methods give a fro …
