Active vision -- where a policy controls its own gaze during manipulation -- has emerged as a key capability for imitation learning, with multiple independent systems demonstrating its benefits in the past year. Yet there is no shared benchmark to compare approaches or quantify what active vision contributes, on which...
How can an arbitrary attribution method be generalized from first principles to capture interactions? We answer this with the metagame, a conceptual framework for quantifying second-order interaction effects of model explanations. We cast the attribution value $\phi_i$ of feature $i$ as a cooperative game among the oth...
Machine Learning (ML) has transformed many scientific fields, yet key applications still lack standardized benchmarks. Raman spectroscopy, a widely used technique for non-invasive molecular analysis, is one such field where progress is limited by fragmented datasets, inconsistent evaluation, and models that fail to cap...

Human behavior is difficult to observe continuously at scale, yet it leaves measurable traces in everyday device use. We test whether encrypted smartphone network traffic---a ubiquitous, always-on, passive sensing modality---can passively capture behavioral patterns related to sleep, stress, and loneliness. We model sh...

Partial driving automation creates a tension: drivers remain legally responsible while being less active in control. Meaningful human control (MHC), a normative framework that can potentially address this tension, proposes that automated systems are designed to track relevant human reasons and that humans should at all...

Image generation systems can produce plausible photographs, readable documents, and consistent depictions of people and places. When these artifacts are presented as records of real events, they can influence decisions in news, finance, identity verification, medicine, and law. This narrative review examines selected p...
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge, but this access path creates security risks distinct from inherent prompt-only or parametric-model flaws. We frame secure RAG as securing external knowledge access. We conducted a systematic search and curated 135 works...

HealthPoint (HP) is proposed, a unified clinical point cloud paradigm for multi-level incomplete EHRs that enables flexible event-level interaction and fine-grained self-supervision, supporting robust modality recovery and effective use of unlabeled data.

Storyboarding is a core skill in visual storytelling for film, animation, and games. However, automating this process requires a system to achieve two properties that current approaches rarely satisfy simultaneously: inter-shot consistency and explicit editability. While 2D diffusion-based generators produce vivid imag...

While multimodal large language models demonstrate strong entity-level perception, faithfully grounding relational interactions between objects remains a persistent challenge. Although conventional visual grounding techniques attempt to resolve hallucinations by amplifying visual attention, strengthening overall visual...

Bi-CamoDiffusion is introduced, an evolution of the CamoDiffusion framework for camouflaged object detection. It integrates edge priors into early-stage embeddings via a parameter-free injection process, enhancing boundary sharpness and preventing structural ambiguity. An optimization objective that unifies spatial acc...

We introduce FCBNet, an efficient model designed for camouflaged weed detection. The architecture is based on a fully frozen ConvNeXt backbone, the proposed Feature Correction Block (FCB), which leverages efficient convolutions for feature refinement, and a lightweight decoder. FCBNet is evaluated on the WeedBananaCOD...
Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
