Large Language Models (LLMs) can solve complex problems, but their misuse in high-risk domains can lead to severe consequences. Model providers therefore restrict assistance for potentially harmful re...
Video-text models adapted from image-text architectures (e.g., CLIP) frequently exhibit temporal blindness, the inability to perceive fundamental cues like order, direction, and motion dynamics. Stand...
Conventional neural networks learn predominantly through affine transformations followed by nonlinear activations, while elapsed time is often treated as an auxiliary feature or assumed to be uniforml...
Generating co-speech gestures that are temporally coherent, semantically aligned with speech, and grounded with surrounding objects remains challenging. Prior speech-driven gesture models emphasize au...
Models express values and welfare-relevant self-reports, but it is unclear whether these outputs reflect stable preferences or a stable self. We thus introduce a structured elicitation of an assistant...
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as judges for subjective tasks, where annotators disagree and the relevant question is not only how accurate a judge is, but whose judgments it repro...
Public trust in Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) may depend not only on technical success but also on the fairness of their decision making. While a recent trend in AV research involves using general purpose...
General-purpose NLP embedding models perform well on linguistic tasks, but their ability to capture symbolic ontological structure remains unclear. We introduce AVA, a systematic framework for evaluat...
Efficient evaluation changes the protocol used to support claims about model behavior, yet it is rarely tested whether those claims remain stable after the evaluation itself is made cheaper. We stress...
The advent of foundation models have enabled a new era in zero-shot classification. Yet, key challenges persist. Despite their impressive generalization power that leverages the immense pre-training k...
Users of a deployed language model routinely encounter behaviours that testing almost never surfaces, since deployment puts the model through orders of magnitude more interactions than any evaluation...
Scientific discovery often requires reasoning over competing hypotheses that are consistent with experimental observations. For mixed-variable and combinatorial hypothesis spaces, however, constructin...
Artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) are increasingly used to extract, integrate, and interpret biomedical knowledge relevant to cancer genomics, yet their translation in...
Evaluating creativity in large language model (LLM) outputs remains challenging because creativity is multidimensional and human-centered. We examine how reliably LLMs evaluate short literary text in...
While face recognition systems are widely deployed, ensuring their demographic reliability and robustness under uncontrolled visual conditions remains a critical challenge. To bridge this gap, we pres...
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed in multi-image scenarios requiring complex reasoning across visual contexts. However, current MLLMs remain fundamentally limited by o...
Large language models (LLMs) are built from structured high-dimensional objects such as token representations, weights, adaptation updates, caches, and activations, whose multilinear structure is unde...
We present an overview of the ImageEval 2026 shared task on culturally grounded Arabic multimodal evaluation. It includes two tasks: (i) AynVQA, covering spoken visual question answering and image-gro...
Image-based 3D visual grounding is critical for embodied agents, yet existing benchmarks suffer from loose text-observation alignment and neglect temporal ordering. We introduce SeqAlign3DVG, a novel...
Graph-augmented large language models often assume that graph evidence produced by external computation and placed in the input can be used by the native decoder. We test this assumption with HopQA, a...
