Purpose: To compare dual- and single-suggestion AI support for radiographic interpretation by residents, particularly when the shared AI suggestion was incorrect. Materials and Methods: This prospective, multicenter, randomized three-arm reader study was conducted at three hospitals in China from July to September 2026 …

Reliable robotic disassembly requires part-level representations that distinguish genuine component geometry from scanning and reconstruction artifacts. In point clouds of hard disk drives (HDDs), structured ghost artifacts can resemble valid components locally while remaining inconsistent with the overall geometry, al …

Accurately modeling and tracking the deformation of soft tissue is critical for a wide range of interventional and surgical procedures. However, current methods struggle in scenarios involving topological changes, such as cutting and dissection, due to the inherent non-linearity and discontinuity introduced by explicit …

The neck, specifically the cervical spine, is a highly fragile and mobile part of the body with a high risk of catastrophic injury. Whether someone is injured on a battlefield, in a natural disaster, or in an athletic event, great care is always taken with the cervical spine when transporting, rolling, or moving the pa …

Vision-language-action (VLA) and world-action models (WAMs) often degrade under out-of-distribution task variations despite retaining partial task capability. To recover such capability, we propose RoboIRS, an inference-time internal representation steering method that uses successful and failed rollouts to train linea …

We study the optimization landscape of low-tubal-rank tensor sensing through a balanced factorization. Under a tubal restricted isometry condition, we establish a quantitative strict-saddle landscape with no spurious local minima for arbitrary Fourier multi-rank profiles. We further show that the local geometry depends …

Paired video-action demonstrations enable autonomous surgical behavior, but such data is scarce: robots perform roughly 1% of surgeries, while video-only data is abundant. Learning 3D object flow offers an embodiment-agnostic way to utilize video data, but flow alone specifies how an object should move, not where and w …

Secure multiparty computation (MPC) enables mutually distrustful parties to compute on private digital inputs. We initiate the study of spatiotemporal MPC, extending this paradigm to functionalities whose inputs additionally depend on physical facts such as the parties' locations, times, or trajectories. Such protocols …

Best-of-$N$ is a widely used inference strategy for complex reasoning, whose effectiveness depends on whether sampled candidates can cover diverse and high-quality reasoning paths. However, post-trained reasoning models often suffer from \emph{exploration collapse}, where independent rollouts repeatedly follow similar …
