MORA: Modeling Observed Changes for Drift-Robust Time-Series Anomaly Detection

Time-series anomaly detection (TSAD) identifies deviations from patterns learned from historical data. In non-stationary settings, distribution drift and true anomalies can cause similar local changes, making it difficult to tell whether a deviation reflects abnormality or evolving context. Existing methods typically a...

Secure-CUA: Controlling Untrusted Influence in Computer-Use Agents

Computer-use agents (CUAs) perform tasks across applications (such as desktops, mobile apps, and web browsers) by observing graphical interfaces and issuing commands such as clicks and keystrokes. These interfaces combine trusted controls and content with untrusted content needed for legitimate tasks. An adversary cont...

DSReg: Provably Recovering Individual World Latents without Reconstruction

Methods that recover individual latent variables of the world, from nonlinear ICA to dictionary learning and causal representation learning, anchor the latents to observations through reconstruction, auxiliary supervision, or distributional asymmetries such as non-Gaussianity. Methods without these anchors, including j...

GeoPrior-Mamba: Structured Process Priors with Mamba for Fine-Resolution XCO2 Reconstruction

Reconstructing fine-resolution column-averaged dry-air CO2 (XCO2) fields from sparse satellite observations requires models to infer spatial structure that is only weakly constrained by direct measurements. Existing learning-based methods typically treat environmental covariates as ordinary numerical inputs and must th...

Iris-3B: Going Beyond the Latent with Pixel-Space Diffusion Training, Conversion and Fine-Tuning

Pixel-space diffusion models avoid the lossy VAE of latent models, which suggests an advantage on downstream tasks where fine-grained detail matters. We test this claim along both routes to a pixel-space backbone. We pretrain Iris-3B, a 3B-parameter pixel-space text-to-image transformer, from scratch through a $256\to5...

Arctic Questions, Missing Answers: A Dataset and Benchmark for LLM Abstention in Arctic Science

Large language models (LLMs) should abstain from scientific multiple-choice questions when no option is valid, but frequent abstention alone does not demonstrate sensitivity to answer availability. We introduce ArcticQA, a dataset of 194 questions derived from primary Arctic research, with automated checks of answer su...

Mixture of Layers: Dynamic Layer Routing for Visual Reasoning

Pre-trained vision encoders contain layer-wise visual representations that differ in spatial granularity, semantic abstraction, and sensitivity to local details. However, most Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) rely on only the final or penultimate vision encoder representations or fixed aggregation rules, making...

Shared Geometry As A Rosetta Stone: Cross-Modal Alignment Without Paired Data

Multimodal representations enable zero-shot classification and retrieval, but aligning independently trained models usually requires large amounts of paired data. Yet, the Platonic Representation Hypothesis suggests that models trained on different modalities may converge spontaneously toward a shared representation ge...

TutorLoop: Regulating Student Learning Behaviors via Sensor-in-the-Loop Generative Feedback

We present TutorLoop, a sensor-in-the-loop system that regulates student learning behaviors by delivering adaptive feedback based on real-time cognitive states. Unlike prior large language model (LLM) tutors that directly depend on scenario-specific content, TutorLoop operates on sensor-derived signals captured via web...

The Confidence Game: Strategic Miscalibration in Human-AI Delegation

Calibrated uncertainty quantification is essential to ensuring AI agents are trustworthy and reliable. However, when agents seek to maximize user engagement or revenue, confidence reports may be strategically distorted, detracting from their informativeness. We formalize this problem in the Confidence Game: a repeated...

From Chunks to Functional Evidence: Function-Aware Retrieval for EDA Documentation QA

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is widely used to ground answers in documents. For complex technical documentation, however, the primary bottleneck is often not model reasoning but a mismatch between a query and the way knowledge is organized for retrieval. This mismatch is pronounced in Electronic Design Automati...

Multimodal LLMs Can Learn to Read Brain Signals: A Vision--Language Model for Unified Multi-Task EEG Decoding

Learning EEG representations that generalize across cognitive tasks, subjects, and recording conditions remains a key challenge in electroencephalography (EEG) decoding. Recent advances in foundation models have improved EEG decoding performance, yet a fundamental open question remains: how to effectively interface neu...
