Multimodal video misinformation detection is commonly formulated as a holistic video-understanding task, where the entire video and its associated content are processed and judged in a single pass. However, real-world misinformation often exhibits a sparse and compositional evidence structure: a reliable decision may depend on only a few coupled clues, while most video content contributes limited additional information.
Detecting vessels engaging in illegal activities is of paramount importance for maritime security. One of the major goals is to detect dark vessels, ships that disable their transponders to evade surveillance.
Organizations often pool dispersed information into one ranking and then allow many agents to act on that shared view. In a discovery problem, this can improve beliefs while reducing coverage.
Accurately solving partial differential equations (PDEs) on arbitrary geometries and a variety of meshes is an important task in science and engineering applications. In this paper, we propose Adaptive Mamba Neural Operators (AMO), which integrates reproducing kernels for state-space models (SSMs) rather than the kernel integral formulation of SSMs.
Foundation models such as Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) have transformed natural-image and video segmentation, and recent work has begun adapting them to medical imaging. These adaptations, however, are largely general-purpose models that treat MRI as one modality among many; large-scale, MRI-specific modelling and benchmarking remain limited, even though MRI's low soft-tissue contrast leaves many boundaries effectively invisible on individual slices.
Large language models achieve strong reasoning performance, but often at prohibitive training cost - a challenge that is especially acute for compact models ($\leq 4 \, \mathrm{B}$ parameters) trained under limited budgets. We introduce MADA-RL, a post-training framework that specializes compact models into generator and critic roles and trains them with a debate-aware learning signal, fine-tuning only a small subset of parameters via LoRA adapters.
Spatial understanding is crucial for foundation models (FMs), and maps have long helped humans organize and reason about geographic information. This study examines whether choropleth maps remain useful for machine spatial understanding when models can directly process structured geodata.
Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle to navigate value conflicts when trained with the compressed scalar rewards of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). To address this challenge, we investigate how chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning can help improve performance in this domain.
Classical image correspondence is solved at the level of sparse keypoints or dense pixels, but the systems that consume these matches - object-level mapping, topological navigation, scene-graph maintenance - reason about whole objects. Recent work narrows this gap by matchng directly at the level of instance segments: a class-agnostic segmenter partitions each image, and per-segment descriptors are obtained by pooling features from large 3D foundation models over the masks.
Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming materials design by enabling de novo exploration of immense chemical spaces. Yet a large proportion of AI-generated compositions remain implausible, violating established chemical principles, which limits the reliability and interpretability of generative materials design.
LLM-based autonomous agents require external memory to overcome their statelessness and limited context window for long-term interaction and dynamic knowledge reasoning. However, existing memory retrieval methods often lack adaptability and sample efficiency, and struggle to retrieve the right mixture of memories from heterogeneous stores.
Endoscopic visual question answering (VQA) increasingly asks complex questions that combine several endoscopic answer components rather than isolated factual queries. Such complex answers may be scored as correct even when the same model fails on associated atomic questions.
Training-free few-shot adaptation methods have gained significant attention recently in the context of Vision-language Models (VLMs). Yet, current benchmarks rely on strong assumptions about the statistics of the adaptation data, e.
This study systematically benchmarks different data augmentation setups across YOLO26 model size variants to determine the most effective setup for adenovirus detection in TEM images. The benchmarked setups include NAS, GAS, GMAS and DAS, all evaluated under identical training conditions.
Egocentric devices, such as wearable front-facing cameras, provide a unique perspective for capturing the continuous interaction between a human viewer and the surrounding environment. A holistic and efficient multimodal model capable of reconstructing this 4D representation is therefore highly desirable.
Class-agnostic 3D instance segmentation is critical for robotic systems operating in unknown environments, enabling perception of previously unseen objects for reliable manipulation and navigation. Existing approaches typically project per-frame 2D instance masks into 3D and merge them, which often breaks object identities across time and yields fragmented 3D instances.
In logistics automation, precise segmentation of unseen objects is crucial for efficient robotic manipulation in cluttered environments. Tasks such as bin-picking and shelf-picking require robust perception to handle occlusions, varying object shapes, and complex spatial arrangements.
Coordinating payload transfers between subsystems is a critical challenge in lifelong Multi-Agent Pickup and Delivery (MAPD). We study systems where agents are confined to separate regions and must exchange payloads through shared handover stations.
Block-wise diffusion large language models (dLLMs) decode sequentially at the block level, enabling effective KV-cache reuse across blocks but making inter-block decoding strictly serial. Prior work has attempted to unlock inter-block parallelism through post-training methods, but achieves only modest speedups and often degrades accuracy.
Accurate protein-ligand binding affinity prediction is central to computational drug discovery, yet modern docking engines frequently disagree without indicating which prediction to trust. Consensus scoring and ensemble methods improve mean accuracy but treat all predictions identically without interpretable confidence measures or uncertainty decomposition, ignoring the chemical context of each protein-ligand pair.
