Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have made striking progress, yet their spatial reasoning remains fragile. Models that answer an original input correctly can still fail under valid transformations with predictable answer mappings, revealing a gap between instance-level correctness and robust spatial reasoning. To address...

EEG foundation models (EEG-FMs) have been evaluated predominantly on clean, in-distribution accuracy, demonstrating modest gains over supervised baselines and weak frozen representations. This study examines whether these conclusions hold beyond clean accuracy by evaluating six EEG-FMs and a supervised baseline across...

Model merging combines task experts into one model and avoids joint training, retraining, or deploying many expert models, but the merged model often still underperforms task experts. We study this performance gap through feature drift, the difference between features produced by the merged model and by the expert on t...

Software vulnerability detection plays a critical role in ensuring system security, where real-world auditing requires not only determining whether a function is vulnerable but also pinpointing the specific lines responsible. However, existing approaches either rely on a single information source -- sequential, structu...

APEX (Assumption-free Projection-based Embedding eXamination), a novel evaluation framework leveraging two open-vocabulary foundation models as feature extractors and the Sliced Wasserstein Distance as similarity measure, proves that it inherits effective scalability to high-dimensional spaces.

3D animal reconstruction in the wild remains challenging due to large species variation, frequent occlusions, and the prevalence of multi-animal scenes, while existing methods predominantly focus on single-animal settings. We present SAM 3D Animal, the first promptable framework for multi-animal 3D reconstruction from...
LLM-based agents are increasingly applied to the "last mile" of Electronic Design Automation (EDA): repairing residual sign-off Design Rule Check (DRC) violations and converging Power-Performance-Area (PPA) targets after tool runs. Existing EDA-LLM benchmarks, however, omit DRC fixing entirely and rely on flat hierarch...

Efficient inference for on-device Large Language Models (LLMs) remains challenging due to limited hardware resources and the high cost of the prefill stage, which processes the full input context to construct Key-Value (KV) caches. We present SparKV, an adaptive KV loading framework that combines cloud-based KV streami...

Industrial anomaly inspection requires complementary capabilities: explaining an observed defect, localizing its pixels, and synthesizing a controlled edit. We present IAD-Unify, a unified architecture connecting a multimodal language model (MLLM), dense visual expert, and diffusion editor through task-specific token i...

Intelligent operation of thermal energy networks aims to improve energy efficiency, reliability, and operational flexibility through data-driven control, predictive optimization, and early fault detection. Achieving these goals relies on sufficient observability, requiring continuous and well-distributed monitoring of...

Government agencies must register, classify and route every citizen appeal within statutory time limits, and much of this work is still done by hand. We describe AI Appeals Processor, a classification and routing component deployed in a CPU-only government environment, and report what its evaluation and deployment taug...
Concurrency, parallelism and distributed execution become truly fearless when the compiler tracks wait-for edges, proves multi-threaded work is sound and preserves distributed boundary contracts. In this design, our Composer compiler preserves proofs while lowering Clef directly to native CPU, GPU, NPU and FPGA code, w...
