Phonetic forced alignment is a key technique in phonetic research, yet existing alignment systems lack specialized models for low-resource language varieties. We address this by training text-dependent and text-independent aligners for Chengdu Mandarin using a 17-hour corpus and…
Detecting staypoints from raw trajectory data is fundamental to numerous spatial computing applications. This process transforms raw numeric sequences of geolocations into semantically meaningful locations, such as homes, workplaces, or restaurants. Despite its importance for sem…
Cross-project crack segmentation is hindered by variations in materials, imaging conditions, crack morphology, and background interference. Text-promptable foundation models reduce task-specific training, but SAM3's final region proposals may suppress, truncate, or distort weak a…
We introduce MentalThink, a visual-symbolic reasoning paradigm that equips Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) with an executable mechanism for "mental" visualization. The core of MentalThink is a think-with-SVG pipeline, where the model learns to generate, render, and interpret scalable vec…
High pass rates on established programming benchmarks such as HumanEval and LiveCodeBench do not always show whether a model can reason about algorithms. Many fixed benchmarks eventually become part of the public training ecosystem through released problem statements, editorials,…
Modern large language models (LLMs) rely on reinforcement learning during post-training to push specific capabilities, yet integrating multiple capabilities into one model remains hard. Existing methods, such as Off-Policy Finetune and Mix-RL, are either inefficient or lose perfo…
Designing an algorithm from a natural-language problem statement requires identifying the problem structure, reading constraints, choosing a suitable paradigm, checking correctness, and refining complexity. Existing large language model (LLM) methods often rely on direct generati…
Recursive self-training can degrade neural generative models when generated data is reused without fresh human data or external quality control. We study this risk in code LLMs, where AI-generated code can enter real repositories, later become training data, and create a reposito…
Multimodal feature fusion can effectively capture complex patterns in real-world data by integrating complementary information from different modalities. However, in many applications, such as boiler combustion monitoring, equipment failure, inconsistent sensor sampling frequenci…
We introduce PerceptionRubrics, a rubric-based evaluation framework that addresses the gap between saturated benchmark scores and real-world brittleness. Shifting evaluation from holistic semantic matching to rigorous atomic auditing, PerceptionRubrics pairs 1,038 information-den…
Background: Although autoimmune complications of COVID-19 have aroused concerns, there is no consensus on its ocular complications. Sjögren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease accompanied by the ocular abnormality keratoconjunctivitis sicca (SS-KCS), which may be influenced by CO…
