Much work has been done on designing fast and accurate sampling for diffusion language models (dLLMs). However, these efforts have largely focused on the tradeoff between speed and quality of individual samples; how to additionally ensure diversity across samples remains less…

Statistical evaluation aims to estimate the generalization performance of a model using held-out i.i.d. test data sampled from the ground-truth distribution. In supervised learning settings such as classification, performance metrics such as error rate are well-defined, and test…

Text-driven motion editing and intra-structural retargeting, where skeletons share topology but may differ in bone lengths and rest pose, are traditionally handled by fragmented pipelines with incompatible inputs and representations: editing relies on specialized generative…

A unified framework for first-order optimization algorithms fornonconvex unconstrained optimization is proposed that uses adaptivelypreconditioned gradients and includes popular methods such as full anddiagonal AdaGrad, AdaNorm, as well as an adpative variant of Muon.

We propose a unified fractional regularization framework for sparse signal recovery based on the $\ell_1/\ell_p^q$ model. This model generalizes several widely used sparsity-promoting regularizers and provides additional flexibility through the parameters $p$ and $q$.

Student dropout is a persistent concern in Learning Analytics, yet comparative studies frequently evaluate predictive models under heterogeneous protocols, prioritizing discrimination over temporal interpretability and calibration.

In the last decades, energy-based models (EBMs) have become an important class of probabilistic models in which a component of the likelihood is intractable and therefore cannot be evaluated explicitly.

The IC3 algorithm represents the state-of-the-art (SOTA) hardware model checking technique, owing to its robust performance and scalability. A significant body of research has focused on enhancing the solving efficiency of the IC3 algorithm, with particular attention to the…

Generating continuous-time, continuous-space stochastic processes (e.g., videos, weather forecasts) conditioned on partial observations (e.g., first and last frames) is a fundamental challenge.

Selecting LLM-generated code candidates using LLM-generated tests is challenging because the tests themselves may be incorrect. Existing methods either treat all tests equally or rely on ad-hoc heuristics to filter unreliable tests.

LLM Agents Harnesses are hand-designed and stay fixed, so agents accumulate experience but never learn how to use it: which memories to retrieve, when retrieved evidence is misleading, and when the retrieval strategy itself should change.

How can language learning systems be developed for languages that lack sufficient training resources? This challenge is increasingly faced by developers across the African continent who aim to build AI systems capable of understanding and responding in local languages.

People often optimize for long-term goals in collaboration: A mentor or companion doesn't just answer questions, but also scaffolds learning, tracks progress, and prioritizes the other person's growth over immediate results.

Recent research shows that greater numbers of people are turning to Large Language Models (LLMs) for emotional support, and that people rate LLM responses as more empathic than human-written responses.

Deep learning models excel at detecting anomaly patterns in normal data. However, they do not provide a direct solution for anomaly classification and scalability across diverse control systems, frequently failing to distinguish genuine faults from nuisance faults caused by…

Dynamic facial expression recognition in the wild remains challenging due to data scarcity and long-tail distributions, which hinder models from effectively learning the temporal dynamics of scarce emotions.

Existing person search methods assume access to complete visual queries or exhaustive tracking, yet real-world witness accounts are vague, partial, and spread across cameras and time.

Text-based speech editing aims to modify specific segments while preserving speaker identity and acoustic context. Current approaches generally involve either expensive task-specific training or adapting pre-trained Text-to-Speech (TTS) models.

Time-series anomaly detection (TSAD) is critical in domains such as industrial monitoring, healthcare, and cybersecurity, but it remains challenging due to rare and heterogeneous anomalies and the scarcity of labelled data.

Table serialization remains a critical bottleneck for Large Language Models (LLMs) in complex table question answering, hindered by challenges such as structural neglect, representation gaps, and reasoning opacity.

Evaluating the safety of LLM-based agents is increasingly important because risks in realistic deployments often emerge over multi-step interactions rather than isolated prompts or final responses.

Can AI accelerate the development of AI itself? While recent agentic systems have shown strong performance on well-scoped tasks with rapid feedback, it remains unclear whether they can tackle the costly, long-horizon, and weakly supervised research loops that drive real AI progre
