Leaderboards, eval harnesses and ablations — the contested business of deciding which model is actually better.
In this work, we introduce CoCo, a loss function aimed at learning normalized and well-structured representations. The proposed loss encourages intra-class collapse and inter-class contrast while preserving sufficient flexibility for neural networks to approximate geometrically optimal embeddings with large angular separation between classes.
In operational 1:N face identification, a crucial question arises for each probe: is this person enrolled in the gallery or not? The stakes are high and asymmetric.
Building capable embodied agents requires not only multimodal perception and understanding, but also agentic capabilities for reasoning about actions, adapting to evolving situations, and interacting with the physical world. In this report, we introduce Hy-Embodied-VLM-1.
Reconstruction-based methods are a cornerstone of unsupervised image anomaly detection, but they remain vulnerable to \emph{outlier leakage}, where standard mean squared error (MSE) loss drives the model to faithfully reconstruct anomalous patterns. We propose a Non-linear Reconstruction Loss that applies a sigmoid-based squashing function to suppress high-magnitude features, preventing outliers from dominating optimization while preserving sensitivity to normal patterns.
Rubric-based evaluation is a promising approach for assessing open-ended outputs from LLM-based research agents, particularly in paper reproduction, where direct paper-to-repository comparison is prone to hallucination. However, constructing paper-specific rubrics requires substantial expert effort, limiting the scalability of benchmarks such as PaperBench.
Learning broad world knowledge directly from raw visual data is a fundamental capability of intelligence. We introduce UniVR, the first investigation into simultaneously learning complex reasoning, fine-grained physical dynamics, and long-term planning from pure visual demonstrations.
Self-evolving agent systems improve by creating, revising, and retiring their own skills, but every such loop rests on a hidden assumption: a reliable evaluation metric already exists. In many real applications it does not.
Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have significantly improved the performance of multimodal emotion recognition (MER) and enabled interpretable description generation by jointly modeling video, audio, and language, etc. However, these performance improvements are often accompanied by an increase in model parameter size (e.
Cross-image comparative reasoning remains challenging for vision-language models (VLMs), especially when correct prediction requires fine-grained attribute grounding and globally consistent reasoning. We present CoRe, a unified framework for this problem.
Reinforcement Learning has revolutionized the landscape of robotic research, allowing robust learning of complex robotic skills in simulation. However, real-world deployment in open-ended environments requires strong safety guarantees to prevent dangerous or harmful behaviors.
OpenClaw has emerged as a leading agent framework for complex task automation, yet it faces insufficient cross-platform GUI interaction support and a well-built self-evolution mechanism. These flaws limit its adaptation to diverse device ecosystems and prevent performance improvements through continuous learning from execution experience.
Time-series anomaly detection is increasingly important in IoT systems, sensor networks, and edge monitoring applications, where models must operate under strict constraints on memory, latency, and power consumption. While recent deep-learning approaches have improved detection accuracy, many remain computationally expensive and often fail to capture subtle anomalies due to limited multi-scale sensitivity.
The rapid advancement of synthetic speech generation methods has made audio deepfake detection a critical challenge in multimedia forensics. While recent approaches achieve high detection accuracy, they typically rely on black-box architectures that offer limited interpretability and high computational complexity.
Reliable reinforcement learning (RL) agents must maintain operational integrity amidst sensor malfunctions, dynamic disturbances, and slow environmental shifts. The detection of out-of-distribution conditions is pivotal to determining when an agent's observations, transitions, or trajectory dynamics deviate from the assumptions underpinning its policy training.
Beyond perception, reasoning is essential in remote sensing for advanced interpretation, inference, and decision-making. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled tool-augmented agents that leverage external tools to perform complex analytical tasks.
Creating photorealistic 3D assets requires bridging the appearance gap between real-world observations and synthetic models. A promising approach is to transfer visual attributes from real images onto synthetic 3D surfaces.
Quantitative strategy optimization remains largely manual, requiring domain experts to identify weak signals, tune risk-control rules, and repeatedly validate iterative revisions. Large language models can accelerate this process, but directly relying on them to rewrite trading strategies often introduces hallucinated edits, strategy drift, and backtest overfitting.
LLM agents act in external environments where each action changes the state that later decisions condition on, and where a single wrong step can waste interaction budget or trigger irreversible side effects long before the final failure is observed. Reliable deployment therefore requires \emph{step-level confidence estimation}: a calibrated probability that each proposed action is productive, available \emph{before} the action is executed.
Filtering noise is a fundamental part of data preparation that enhances image quality for applications such as object segmentation, detection, and recognition. Various noise reduction techniques are proposed in the literature, including the use of median, Gaussian, and bilateral filters.
Drug discovery and development is time-consuming and resource-intensive, motivating computational approaches such as diffusion models for de novo drug design. Many such models follow the structure-based drug design (SBDD) paradigm, generating molecules to fit a target binding pocket.
