The 3D geometry of real-world scene data is often incomplete. Mainstream methods use depth estimators to inpaint missing structure. However, their prediction results can be inconsistent with observed geometry, or unreliable on out-of-distribution data. To solve these problems, we propose Neural Depth Field (NDF). Our key insight is that a depth estimator can also be a scene-level implicit field. As an estimator, it adapts to the target domain by learning observed depth data. As an implicit field, it fits the existing geometry to maintain consistency. Under this view, NDF addresses both problems through a single test-time optimization. Experiments show that NDF produces high-fidelity and globally consistent geometry across diverse scene data, ranging from indoor scans to satellite imagery. It reduces cross-view inconsistency by 63.3\% and improves inpainting accuracy by 23.1\%, achieving state-of-the-art performance in 3D scene geometry inpainting.

MEMEs are widely used on the internet and often carry strong elements of sarcasm or irony. Understanding their hidden meanings typically requires a joint interpretation of text and vision. Existing methods focus on the dual-stream vision-language model to extract the visual and t…
We show how large-deviation statistics allows one to obtain reliable estimates of the multiplicity of stable fixed-points in a model of neural ordinary differential equations previously employed in computational tasks. The result is obtained by developing a suitable perturbative…
To effectively integrate AI into high-stakes, critical environments such as healthcare, autonomous driving, and aviation--and to advance toward higher levels of automation and seamless human-AI collaboration--building trust in AI-driven solutions is essential. Trust, in turn, is…
Multimodal chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning integrates visual and textual cues through step-by-step inference. In small models with limited token budgets, modality-interaction fusion often suppresses tiny cross-modal differences. In particular, multimodal CoT often struggles when…
In production processes for consumer products, assembly instructions are essential not only for planning but also for executing the production process. Likewise in robotics, it is crucial for an assembly robot to understand how components fit together and can be assembled. To fac…
Accurate yet low-latency depth is essential for radar-camera perception in autonomous systems. Cameras provide rich appearance but lack metric scale, whereas automotive radar offers metric range but is sparse and noisy. Many pipelines are multi-stage or depend on auxiliary annota…
