This work analyzes the main isolation mechanisms available in modern NVIDIA GPUs: MPS, MIG, and the recent Green Contexts, to ensure predictable inference time in safety-critical applications using deep learning models. The experimental methodology includes performance tests, evaluation of partitioning impact, and analysis of temporal...
Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) record light as a discrete stream of individual detections. The signal is stochastic. Its statistical structure depends on the sensor's operation mode: binary detection in fixed bins, timestamped detection in fixed bins, or free-running timestamped detection. We derive the likelihood score...
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a prominent swarm intelligence algorithm extensively applied to path planning. However, traditional ACO methods often exhibit shortcomings, such as blind search behavior and slow convergence within complex environments. To address these challenges, this paper proposes the Pheromone-Focused Ant Colony...
RTL design often relies heavily on ad-hoc testbench creation early in the design cycle. While large language models (LLMs) show promise for RTL code generation, their ability to reason about hardware specifications and generate targeted test plans remains largely unexplored. We present the first systematic study of LLM reasoning...
As automated systems increasingly transition from decision support to direct execution, the problem of accountability shifts from decision quality to execution legitimacy. While optimization, execution, and feedback mechanisms are extensively modeled in contemporary AI and control architectures, the structural role of judgment remains...
Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are a major cause of cancer-related mortality, and reliable detection on CT remains challenging in multi-centre settings. We developed a foundation model-based AI pipeline for patient-level classification and lesion-level detection of CRLM on contrast-enhanced CT, integrating uncertainty...
Memory is critical for dialogue agents to maintain coherence and enable continuous adaptation in long-term interactions. While existing memory mechanisms offer basic storage and retrieval capabilities, they are hindered by two primary limitations: (1) rigid memory granularity often disrupts semantic integrity, resulting in fragmented...
Food image segmentation is a critical task for dietary analysis, enabling accurate estimation of food volume and nutrients. However, current methods suffer from limited multi-view data and poor generalization to new viewpoints. We introduce BenchSeg, a novel multi-view food video segmentation dataset and benchmark. BenchSeg aggregates...
Reduced-order modeling lies at the interface of numerical analysis and data-driven scientific computing, providing principled ways to compress high-fidelity simulations in science and engineering. We propose a training framework that couples a continuous-time form of operator inference with the adjoint-state method to obtain robust...
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled agents to autonomously execute complex, long-horizon tasks, yet planning remains a primary bottleneck for reliable task execution. Existing methods typically fall into two paradigms: step-wise planning, which is reactive but often short-sighted; and one-shot planning, which...
Oral presentation skills are a critical component of higher education, yet comprehensive datasets capturing real-world student performance across multiple modalities remain scarce. To address this gap, we present SOPHIAS (Student Oral Presentation monitoring for Holistic Insights & Analytics using Sensors), a 12-hour multimodal...
Extended reality is a fast-growing domain for which there is an increasing need to analyze and understand user behavior. In particular, understanding human visual attention during immersive experiences is crucial for many applications. The visualization and analysis of visual attention are commonly done by building fixation density...
Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) offer capabilities beyond those of autoregressive (AR) LLMs, such as parallel decoding and random-order generation. However, realizing these benefits in practice is non-trivial, as dLLMs inherently face an accuracy-parallelism trade-off. Despite increasing interest, existing methods typically...
We study information leakage in secure linear network coding schemes based on nested rank-metric codes. We show that the amount of information leaked to an adversary that observes a subset of network links is characterized by the conditional rank function of a representable $q$-polymatroid associated with the underlying rank-metric...
Several recent results from dynamic and sublinear graph coloring are surveyed. This problem is widely studied and has motivating applications like network topology control, constraint satisfaction, and real-time resource scheduling. Graph coloring algorithms are called colorers. In §1 are defined graph coloring, the dynamic model, and...
Multimodal emotion understanding requires effective integration of text, audio, and visual modalities for both discrete emotion recognition and continuous sentiment analysis. We present EGMF, a unified framework combining expert-guided multimodal fusion with large language models. Our approach features three specialized expert...
The recent exceptional growth in special issues has led to the largest delegation of editorial power in the history of scientific publishing. Has this power been used responsibly? We provide the first systematic analysis of endogeny, the practice of publishing articles in ones own special issue. While moderate levels of endogeny are...
Electric prosthetic hands should be lightweight to decrease the burden on the user, shaped like human hands for cosmetic purposes, and designed with motors enclosed inside to protect them from damage and dirt. Additionally, in-hand manipulation is necessary to perform daily activities such as transitioning between different postures,...
Autonomous 3D scanning of open-world target structures via drones remains challenging despite broad applications. Existing paradigms rely on restrictive assumptions or effortful human priors, limiting practicality, efficiency, and adaptability. Recent foundation models (FMs) offer great potential to bridge this gap. This paper...
Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) face significant deployment challenges due to inter-subject variability, signal non-stationarity, and computational constraints. While test-time adaptation (TTA) mitigates distribution shifts under online data streams without per-use calibration sessions, existing TTA...
As large language models (LLMs) continue to improve in reasoning and decision-making, there is a growing need for realistic and interactive environments where their abilities can be rigorously evaluated. We present VirtualEnv, a next-generation simulation platform built on Unreal Engine 5 that enables fine-grained benchmarking of LLMs...
Multivariate Time-Series (MTS) clustering is crucial for signal processing and data analysis. Although deep learning approaches, particularly those leveraging Contrastive Learning (CL), are prominent for MTS representation, existing CL-based models face two key limitations: 1) neglecting clustering information during positive/negative...
Medical time series data, such as EEG and ECG, are vital for diagnosing neurological and cardiovascular diseases. However, their precise interpretation faces significant challenges due to high annotation costs, leading to data scarcity, and the limitations of traditional contrastive learning in capturing complex temporal patterns. To...
The Levenshtein sequence reconstruction problem studies the reconstruction of a transmitted sequence from multiple erroneous copies of it. A fundamental question in this field is to determine the minimum number of erroneous copies required to guarantee correct reconstruction of the original sequence. This problem is equivalent to...
We study the problem of estimating the mutation rate between two sequences from noisy sequencing reads. Existing alignment-free methods typically assume direct access to the full sequences. We extend these methods to the sequencing framework, where only noisy reads from the sequences are observed. We use a simple model in which both...
