However, these E2E models often act as black boxes and struggle with complex scenarios. To address this, recent works incorporate Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to provide explicit reasoning, enhancing both interpretability and driving robustness. These approaches typically rely on pre-generated annotations, which suffer from potentially flawed labels and require costly human labor. In this work, we propose a new framework that integrates structured reasoning and geometric precision through a teacher-student architecture. The teacher model introduces reflective reasoning, where the VLM generates logical e…

We argue that planning need not reconstruct the complete future world, but only focus on scene features that affect future ego action. Based on this perspective, we propose Auto-JEPA, an action-oriented latent world model that learns continuous future driving intent through joint-embedding prediction. Given visual observations, egomotion history, and navigation commands, Auto-JEPA predicts an intent embedding aligned with the latent representation of the future ego trajectory. The predicted intent retrieves executable trajectories from a fixed trajectory memory, whic…

We show that the airborne phase is barely controllable: on a 1383 kg platform the wheel angular-momentum budget caps the recoverable pitch-rate change at roughly $9$-$13^\circ$/s in the tighter nose-up direction under drive at typical takeoff wheel speeds, and at about twice that in the reverse-inclusive braking direction; driving the wheels to their drivetrain hard limit raises the measured nose-up ceiling to only $16$-$18^\circ$/s. Takeoff pitch-rate disturbances beyond this directional budget are physically unrecoverable in flight, so the decisive leverage lies…

However, conventional rule-based methods rely on predefined task models and specialized decision making programs, making it difficult to understand complex semantic instructions and coordinate heterogeneous robots. LLMs introduce strong language understanding and task reasoning capabilities, allowing multi-robot systems to interpret instructions, decompose tasks, and assign roles according to task semantics. VLMs further incorporate visual perception, enabling robots to reason about objects, regions, and spatial relationships in physical e…

Autonomous robotic reconstruction for large-scale field deployment must address limitations on robot planning budget and computation resources while optimizing viewpoint utility for leaf surface reconstruction. Existing approaches either focus on rigid objects, point-cloud coverage or plant reconstruction without fully addressing the system limitations or exploiting task-driven point cloud utility. In this work, we study next-best-view (NBV) planning for leaf surface reconstruction under travel constraints. We develop a novel Centroid-based Information Gain (CIG) function that meas…

However, their reliance on pixel-generative future supervision can entangle action-relevant state transitions with task-irrelevant visual content, limiting robustness under visual distribution shifts. We identify Training-Distribution Hallucination, a recurring phenomenon in which futures conditioned on visually shifted observations hallucinate training-domain content rather than remain faithful to the current scene. A controlled frame-triplet diagnosis further shows that DINOv3 features remain more stable across visual shifts while better preserving task-state distinctions than Wan-VAE lat…

However, unlike structured outdoor environments, indoor scenes feature a high diversity of object categories that exhibit a severe long-tailed distribution, which has become a core bottleneck limiting the performance of existing models. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel method, Group-UFD Occ, based on hierarchical semantic supervision and synergistic loss optimization. At the architectural level, we introduce a fine-grained semantic grouping strategy and design multi-scale, parallel ``main-expert'' prediction heads to guide the model in efficiently learning tail-class features through deep re…

Standard augmentation pipelines were designed for natural images, yet scientific imaging modalities are governed by physical measurement processes with distinct symmetry and acquisition constraints. Enforcing invariances that contradict these constraints can distort learned representations and limit downstream performance, but practitioners moving from machine learning into a new scientific modality currently have little guidance beyond transferring natural-image pipelines unexamined. We address this gap with a principled, reproducible procedure for augmentation design in scientific SSL: we formalise the physics-aligned augmentati…

Existing workflows focus on global reconstruction, training-time density control, or open-ended generative editing, leaving trained assets without precise local maintenance. We propose FocusGS, which unifies local repair and deterministic editing as composite spatial deltas. Repair is the purely additive special case: its base-manipulation term is empty, and it adds only local Gaussian bases; deterministic editing uses erase-insert factorization (EIF) to combine old-carrier erasure with new-content insertion. FocusGS addresses spatial gradient starvation: local repair raises target-r…

Annotating real imagery for every genotype-by-environment (G x E) combination a breeding program encounters is prohibitively expensive. We quantify how G x E shifts affect AI-based detection of cowpea flowers and pods across two California locations and two growing seasons. Flower detection mAP@50 fell from 76.3% to as low as 50.6% under unseen shifts, and pod detection was more sensitive. Feature-space and image-quality diagnostics confirmed these losses track measurable distributional shifts. Because closing this gap wit…

However, their evaluation remains dominated by high-resource datasets, leaving generalization to African cohorts underexplored. We assess whether FMs generalize equally to African and non-African brain MRI data across two tasks: dementia classification using a Nigerian dataset and brain tumor segmentation using BraTS-Africa. We evaluate two generalist FMs (BrainIAC, 3DINO) and two segmentation-specific FMs (MedSAM2, Medical-SAM2) against a from-scratch baseline. For classification, FMs provide limited gains (highest ROC-AUC of 0.86 with BrainIAC), whereas for segmentation they consistently improve performance, reaching up to 0.86 Dice wi…

We propose an uncertainty-aware deepfake detection framework that identifies manipulations through inconsistencies across complementary evidence sources. The framework integrates three streams: a visual stream based on an adapted CLIP encoder, a semantic stream that models consistency among facial attributes through differentiabl…

However, standard flow matching treats all spatial frequencies uniformly, ignoring the natural frequency hierarchy where high-frequency bands become indistinguishable from pure noise far earlier than coarse structures. We introduce WaiT, a Wavelet-aware image Transformer that decomposes generation into coarse and fine bands via lossless wavelets. True to its name, the high-frequency bands wait for the signal: staying pure noise until coarse structure has emerged, then joining the flow for joint refinement. Since standard FID discards fine-grained detail thro…

Existing UME models either form embeddings through single forward encoding or add computation through explicit rationale tokens and latent autoregressive states. Although token expansion can improve complex matching, serial generation increases retrieval latency and makes the final embedding depend on generated intermediate states. This raises a different question: can useful computation be expanded along model depth while keeping the token workspace fixed? We analyze positive-negative similarity separation at every layer of independently trained UME models and observe a shared progression: early layers context…

Existing benchmarks fail to capture real-world industrial complexity, predominantly relying on multiple-choice questions or single-hop QA over cropped tables while ignoring intricate cross-statement dynamics and temporal de-cumulation. To bridge this gap, we introduce FinIndices, a large-scale benchmark evaluating data-processing fidelity over uncropped financial statements (up to 32K tokens).

However, evaluating federated pre-training remains challenging because differences in client participation and local data availability can make directly comparable evaluation difficult. Moreover, pre-training test perplexity is tied to the pre-training distribution, while downstream benchmarks introduce task-specific adaptation that may not faithfully reflect the test perplexity established during pre-training. In this work, we study which evaluation protocol more reliably reflects federated pre-training quality. Using a controlled set of centralized and federated-trained mode…

However, we observe a systematic discrepancy in model predictions under such cross-modal variations. Specifically, we define the modality gap as the difference in model performance under semantically equivalent textual and multimodal inputs. We introduce TokenSwap, a method that constructs such inputs by replacing textual concepts with semantically aligned images, resulting in sequences where visual tokens are interleaved with text tokens. Based on TokenSwap, we transform existing text-based benchmarks such as MMLU into image-interleaved counterparts, resulting in TokenSwap-Bench. A…

On unambiguous tasks (BBQ-disambig), response-based distillation from a Gemma-2-9B teacher improves context-following: for the most biased baseline (SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct), it cuts the context-overriding error rate from 44% to 24%. On ambiguous tasks (BBQ-ambig), the same distillation destroys per-item refusal calibration: 15% of items where the baseline correctly abstained instead receive stereotype answers, even when overall refusal rate is preserved. The pattern reproduces on a second student family (OLMo-2-1B-Instruct), with silence-loss of 8% and filled-silence accounting for 89% of new bias. Across…

Viewed through the lens of predictive knowledge, we argue that this approach operates on episodic hindsight rather than predictive foresight, yielding brittle, path-dependent heuristics. To address this, we propose Stateful Knowledge Learning (SKL). SKL shifts the agent's focus from trajectory-level summarization to maintaining Stateful Knowledge: explicit, declarative predictive assessments anchored to state. We first demonstrate a motivating example showing how stateful knowledge provides granularity, enhances generalization, and enables knowledge bootstrapping. To furt…

Existing mitigations mostly rely on prompt-driven debiasing, which is brittle across bias types, or human evaluation, which does not scale. We study \emph{Chain-of-Models} (CoM), an automated audit pipeline in which a second model inspects the first model's reasoning trace before producing the final judgment. The key design question is whether the auditor should be the same model, a same-family model, or a different-family model. Across 9 models from 6 families, 4 cognitive biases, and 4 factual datasets, we find that auditor identity matters in two ways. First, standalone bias resistance does not predict audit…
