Text-to-image diffusion models generate images by iterative denoising, so their internal layers produce trajectories of activations rather than single static representations. Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have recently been used to decompose diffusion activations into interpretable features, but most approaches analyze in...
Understanding how humans and artificial intelligence systems predict and plan by interacting with their environment is a fundamental challenge at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning. Most brain-encoding studies focus on aligning artificial models with brain activity during language comprehension or pa...
Learning latent representations from temporal, multimodal, and partially observed data requires specifying what information a latent state should retain, discard, and organize. Existing approaches encode these requirements through heterogeneous objectives, making methods difficult to compare and learned representations...
Model providers increasingly release the weights of large language models. Although these models are safety-aligned before release, their safeguards can often be removed by fine-tuning on harmful data. A growing class of defenses aims to make alignment robust to such malicious fine-tuning, but these defenses are typica...

Discrete diffusion language models (DLMs) generate text by iteratively denoising all positions in parallel, offering an alternative to autoregressive models. Controlled generation methods for DLMs, imported from autoregressive models, apply uniform intervention at every denoising step. We show this uniform schedule is...
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...
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.
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...
BONSAI is introduced, a default-aware BO policy that prunes low-impact deviations from a default configuration while explicitly controlling the loss in acquisition value and theoretically bound the regret incurred by BONSAI.
