Later Is Better: Token Reduction for ViTs Under Distribution Shift

Training-free token reduction accelerates vision transformers by removing redundant tokens across layers, recovering most of the original accuracy at a fraction of the compute. These methods, however, are designed and evaluated primarily on clean data, and under real-world distribution shift their accuracy gap to the u...

Cleave: Scaling Tensor Program Optimization via Decoupled Algebraic Search and Operator Scheduling

Optimized kernels such as FlashAttention and FlashDecoding are crucial for accelerating today's large models. Most of them are handwritten by experts because existing ML compilers cannot match their efficiency. Producing such kernels requires fusing computations with multiple reductions, which requires both algebraic t...

What Frame-Level Labels Can and Cannot Do for Small-UAV Point Detection in Thermal Video

The growing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased the importance of image-based UAV detection. Learning-based detectors are trained on imagery and annotations, with annotation type determining the information available during training. We focus on learning localization from frame-level target presence/ab...

Disentangling Dual Image References in Frequency Aware Diffusion Models for Personalized Generation

Personalized image generation aims to synthesize text-driven images conditioned on reference images, while mainly casting the generation as image customization for foreground and style transfer for background. Previous arts of diffusion models suffers from the text misalignment with background for image customization a...

EigenDEXplore: Structured Exploration for Dexterous Manipulation with Human Priors

Dexterous manipulation poses a challenging high-dimensional optimization problem, as useful behaviors require coordinated motion across many hand joints. In reinforcement learning (RL) and sampling-based trajectory optimization, exploration commonly relies on independent robot joint perturbations, making coordinated be...

SMART: Zero-Shot Sim-to-Real Articulated Object Manipulation via Large-Scale Synthetic Pretraining

The ability to interact with articulated objects is essential for embodied intelligent systems, but collecting large-scale real-world demonstrations for these interactions remains challenging due to the precise contact and constraint-following motions involved. Although simulation provides a promising alternative, exis...

SkillPoison: Progressive Skill Poisoning via Successful Experiences

Self-improving LLM agents increasingly distill successful experiences into persistent, reusable skills. Existing skill attack methods corrupt this learning pipeline by injecting malicious triggers, behaviors, or false facts into individual experiences or extracted skills. However, such attacks are easily detected, and...

OpenSplatGraph: From Dense Semantic Maps to Structured Scene Graphs for Open-Vocabulary Robot Perception

Dense 3D mapping with semantic understanding is essential for robotic perception in complex environments. Recent 3D Gaussian Splatting-based mapping approaches enable high-fidelity geometry and efficient open-vocabulary perception, but typically represent semantics as unstructured feature fields that limit object-centr...

CheckerBench: Can Long-Horizon Agents Synthesize Static-Analysis Checkers?

Static-analysis checker synthesis requires agents to interpret a defect specification, inspect a repository, implement analyzer-specific logic, and refine the checker through repeated compilation and analysis feedback. Existing coding-agent benchmarks focus on tasks such as patch generation or vulnerability detection a...

Can Power Draw Constrain Covert Compute? Limits of Analogue Verification for AI Governance

Frontier AI treaties or agreements on limiting computation require external verification; an external auditor must be able to confirm how much computation actually ran and that parties are adhering to the agreement. Analogue, off-chip measurements such as power draw provide an information channel for verification. It i...

ElasticFit: Fit-Aware 3D Object Insertion via VLM Reasoning and Generative Adaptation

Inserting objects into existing 3D scenes requires more than selecting a plausible location: the inserted object must also fit local geometry while preserving semantic intent and physical plausibility. Although recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) and generative models enable semantic reasoning and visual content creat...

A Validated Dataset and Benchmark for Coherent Multi-Diagram SysML Models

Systems engineers use several diagrams to describe the structure and behavior of systems. Engineers create these diagrams together to make sure that they use the same elements and remain consistent with one another. Large language models can generate diagrams as text or code, which makes it possible to create system di...
