An AI Teaching Assistant for Motion Picture Engineering

The rapid rise of LLMs over the last few years has promoted growing experimentation with LLM-driven AI tutors. However, the details of implementation, as well as the benefit in a teaching environment, are still in the early days of exploration. This article addresses these issues in the context of implementation of an...

Sven: Singular Value Descent as a Computationally Efficient Natural Gradient Method

We introduce Sven (Singular Value dEsceNt), a new optimization algorithm for neural networks that exploits the natural decomposition of loss functions into a sum over individual data points, rather than reducing the full loss to a single scalar before computing a parameter update. Sven treats each data point's residual...

Pre-Deployment Complexity Estimation for Federated Perception Systems

Edge AI systems increasingly rely on federated learning to train perception models in distributed, privacy-preserving, and resource-constrained environments. Before training, however, practitioners often lack practical tools for estimating task difficulty in terms of expected accuracy and communication effort. We prese...

MDKeyChunker: What Does One LLM Call per Chunk Buy for Markdown Retrieval?

Markdown carries structure a parser reads for free: headers, section paths, and block boundaries. Many RAG pipelines also spend LLM calls per chunk on generated metadata. We ask what one LLM call per chunk buys over that free structure. MDKeyChunker splits Markdown into header-led chunks without splitting any block; ma...

WebNavigator: Global Web Navigation via Interaction Graph Retrieval

Despite significant advances in autonomous web navigation, current methods remain far from human-level performance in complex web environments. We argue that this limitation stems from Topological Blindness, where agents are forced to explore via trial-and-error without access to the global topological structure of the...

DeepStock: Reinforcement Learning with Policy Regularizations for Inventory Management

Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) provides a general-purpose methodology for training inventory policies that can leverage big data and compute. However, off-the-shelf implementations of DRL have seen mixed success, often plagued by high sensitivity to the hyperparameters used during training. In this paper, we show th...

Beyond TVLA: Anderson-Darling Leakage Assessment for Neural Network Side-Channel Leakage Detection

Test Vector Leakage Assessment (TVLA) is widely used for side-channel leakage detection, but its reliance on Welch's t-test makes it primarily sensitive to differences in the means of two leakage populations. Consequently, TVLA may fail to detect leakage that manifests through changes in other characteristics of the un...

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Counteracts Delayed CSI in Multi-Satellite Systems

The integration of satellite communication networks with next-generation (NG) technologies is a promising approach towards global connectivity. However, the quality of services is highly dependant on the availability of accurate channel state information (CSI). Channel estimation in satellite communications is challeng...

You've Got a Golden Ticket: Improving Generative Robot Policies With A Single Noise Vector

Generative robot policies trained on demonstrations using behavior cloning often learn actions that are sub-optimal or misaligned with respect to the downstream task. Policy improvement approaches aim to bridge this gap and improve the cumulative reward with minimal interventions on the pre-trained policy. However, an...

COMIC: Agentic Sketch Comedy Generation

We propose a fully automated AI system that produces short comedic videos similar to sketch shows such as Saturday Night Live. Starting from character references, the system employs a population of agents loosely modeled on roles in real production studios and structured to optimize the quality and diversity of ideas a...

Towards Robust Speech Deepfake Detection via Human-Inspired Reasoning

The modern generative audio models can be used by an adversary in an unlawful manner, specifically, to impersonate other people to gain access to private information. To mitigate this issue, speech deepfake detection (SDD) methods started to evolve. Unfortunately, current SDD methods generally suffer from the lack of g...

RAC: Rectified Flow Auto Coder

In this paper, we propose a Rectified Flow Auto Coder (RAC) inspired by Rectified Flow to replace the traditional VAE: 1. It achieves multi-step decoding by applying the decoder to flow timesteps. Its decoding path is straight and correctable, enabling step-by-step refinement. 2. The model inherently supports bidirecti...
