The restoration of tissue defects using 3D-printed medical implants enables precise anatomical matching and customizable microarchitectures. However, implant-associated infections and biofilm formation constitute persistent challenges, frequently compromising the efficacy of syst…
Generative models have undergone many generations of evolution, from VAEs/GANs to diffusion/flow matching. Along the way, the underlying techniques have become more complicated and various beliefs about what drives strong empirical performance have taken hold. Due to the success…
Adverse driving conditions, such as bad weather, remain a principal barrier to autonomous driving because they degrade two things at once: what the vehicle can perceive and what it can physically do. Human drivers cope by anticipation, reasoning about the scene and re-budgeting s…
Evaluation of autonomous vehicle (AV) planners in safety-critical closed-loop simulation is essential for real-world deployment. However, generating controllable safety-critical scenarios remains challenging. Existing approaches use soft guidance that provides only probabilistic…
Continual learning in visual navigation remains challenging due to catastrophic forgetting and the difficulties associated with adapting to diverse and evolving environments. To address these issues, we propose Hyperbolic Dynamic Cluster Memory (HyperDCM), a structure-aware memor…
High resolution medical images contain fine grained, spatially sparse cues that are critical for diagnosis, yet preserving full resolution incurs substantial computational and memory costs. Most deep models process images uniformly, leading to redundant computation or loss of dia…
Data-driven modeling in real-world regression tasks often suffers from limited training samples, high collection costs, and noisy observations. Inspired by the impact of data augmentation in vision and language, we propose a novel Counterfactual Residual Data Augmentation (CRDA)…
Large language model (LLM) agents have demonstrated strong capability in sequential decision-making, yet they remains fundamentally reactive in long-horizon tasks. Unlike humans who employ "what-if" reasoning to evaluate potential plans before commitment, standard agents lack an…
