Post-training quantization (PTQ) is widely used to reduce the cost of serving large language models (LLMs), but its accuracy cost is uneven and is often tuned per model. We study where quantization damage occurs and how to allocate a small additional precision budget. Using causal mixed-precision intervention as ground truth (raise each layer to 8-bit in turn and measure the accuracy it recovers) ...
Scientific equation discovery has long been central to scientific progress, proceeding through iterative cycles of hypothesis generation, observational testing, and refinement under scientific constraints. As LLM capabilities advance and their role in AI for Science expands, it remains an open problem whether they can genuinely discover scientific laws and how this ability should be evaluated. Exi...
Self-supervised pre-training via cross-view completion learns strong features for 3D vision from co-visible regions of image pairs. However, the reference view provides little information for reconstructing non-co-visible patches, implicitly yielding a monocular training signal in these regions. We introduce Gekko, which turns this limitation into a useful signal. The relative improvement of the c...
Non-destructive X-ray and computed tomography (CT) testing are essential for ensuring the dimensional accuracy of manufactured components with complex internal structures, such as the cooling channels in gas turbine blades, which directly affect thermal performance and service life. This study presents a multipart 3D-2D rigid registration approach for aligning CAD models with X-ray projections as ...
This paper introduces the Sierpiński-Knopp (SK) Wasserstein distance, a fast metric between persistence diagrams. The SK-Wasserstein distance, denoted $d_{\mathrm{SK}}$, maps diagram points and their diagonal projections to the unit interval via the Sierpiński-Knopp space-filling curve on the upper diagonal triangle. The encoded point sets are then efficiently matched via one-dimensional optimal a...
Real-world robotic assembly at sub-millimeter tolerances demands spatial precision, compliant interaction, and robustness to contact failures. We present Facet-0, a robotic foundation model that predicts and values the contact consequences of its actions. Facet-0 unifies multimodal representation learning and reinforcement learning (RL) post-training around a joint action-wrench proposal: a causal...
Vehicle attribute analysis is a key component of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), supporting applications such as vehicle identification, traffic monitoring, and forensic investigation. However, models trained under controlled conditions often degrade in real surveillance scenarios due to changes in viewpoint, occlusion, illumination, and sensor characteristics. This paper introduces Unco...
Face forgery detectors often achieve strong results on controlled benchmarks, but their reliability under realistic image degradations remains limited. This paper presents a standardized benchmark for face forgery detection using the Multi-Dimensional Face Forgery Image (MFFI) dataset and evaluates performance on both clean and degraded test partitions. We compare six model families, including con...
