Neuro-Memory Fuzzy Inference System for Mimicking Human-like Car Following Behavior

This study presents the Neuro-Memory Fuzzy Inference System (NeMeFIS), a hierarchical machine learning architecture that asymmetrically models acceleration and deceleration in car following behavior by integrating five human memory types procedural, working, episodic, semantic, and declarative. By linking external vari...

SafeInferCom: Safe Inference-Time Compute via Verifier-Guided Mid-Generation Intervention for Robotic Task Planning

Large Reasoning Language Models (LRLMs) enable multi-step reasoning for robotic task planning, but continued reasoning can overwrite valid intermediate plans or leave constraint violations unresolved, reducing planning reliability and wasting inference-time computation. We develop an inference-time monitor that exposes...

RAG-Stress: Probing the Limits of Evidence Reliance in Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Following retrieved evidence does not guarantee factual correctness: misleading evidence can induce a model to replace an answer it previously gave correctly. Standard accuracy measures obscure this behavior by combining answer replacement with preexisting errors. We introduce RAG-Stress, a controlled diagnostic protoc...

Higher-Order Action Supervision Makes A Strong Policy Class

Modern data-driven decision-making methods, such as imitation learning (IL) and reinforcement learning (RL), have achieved great success in solving many complex tasks. However, these methods often suffer from serious control instability and robustness issues when applied in real-world applications such as robotics and...

VAMR: Multi-Question Agentic Reasoning for Efficient Long-Form Video Understanding

Long-form video understanding often involves multiple questions about different aspects of the same recording. Yet existing video agents typically process each question through an isolated tool-use trajectory. This repeatedly restarts video exploration and memory construction, missing opportunities to acquire evidence...

PMTRM: Pseudo-Memory Temporal Re-encoding Module for Embodied Policy Learning

Robotic manipulation often contains repeated motions whose local observations look similar at different phases. When these phases require different actions, a policy that relies mainly on the current observation may repeat completed motions or switch phases at the wrong time. To address this phase ambiguity, we present...

PIVOT: Perplexity-Informed KD-to-RL Transition Scheduling for Vertical-Domain Few-Shot Distillation

Vertical-domain few-shot classification remains challenging for small language models, as limited supervision makes it difficult to acquire domain-specific decision knowledge. On-Policy Distillation (OPD) can improve teacher-guided adaptation by supervising student-generated rollouts, while GRPO-based reinforcement lea...

Characterizing Statistical Separability in TP-CRIV for Probabilistic AI Models

Third-party challenge-response identity verification (TP-CRIV) enables an independent verifier to assess whether a claimant possesses a model identical to a remotely deployed model without directly accessing the reference model. However, for probabilistic AI models, repeated executions of the same query may produce dif...

CARE: Constrained Attention Refinement for Fine-Grained Visual Classification via Teacher-Student Distillation

Fine-grained visual classification requires models to recognize subtle local traits while exposing the visual evidence behind their predictions. Class-specific attention pathways provide a natural basis for interpretable recognition, but their constrained prediction structure limits discriminative capacity and underuse...

SP-DocReader: Difference-Aware Self-Play for Precise Document OCR

Accurate page transcription remains difficult for vision language models under limited input and training budgets. We present SP-DocReader, a self-play framework for optical character recognition (OCR) that targets residual errors after supervised fine-tuning. Reading Discrepancy Masking aligns reference and generated...

Improving Image-Based Nutrition Estimation Through Multimodal Food-Item Verification and Recovery

Single-image nutrition estimation can fail silently when visible foods are missed. Even when a food is correctly identified, its proposed region may not support portion estimation. We propose a framework that uses multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to inventory visible foods and separately verify food identity an...

ActiveMedAgent: Cost-Aware Trajectory Learning for Multimodal Medical Diagnosis

Clinical diagnosis is inherently sequential: clinicians escalate from cheap to costly tests only when additional evidence is expected to resolve diagnostic uncertainty. We present ActiveMedAgent, a framework that brings this cost-aware sequential logic to multimodal medical AI. Given a frozen, API-accessed vision-langu...
