VR and AR simulations help users practice stress management in realistic scenarios
Everyday situations can sometimes feel like big stressors, whether it's delivering an important work presentation, attending a party full of strangers or confronting a partner. Talking to a friend or a therapist can help. But so can practice.

Esoteric Language Models
Diffusion-based language models offer a compelling alternative to autoregressive (AR) models by enabling parallel and controllable generation. Among this family of models, Masked Diffusion Models (MDMs) achieve the strongest performance but still underperform AR models in perplexity and lack key inference-time efficiency features--most notably, KV caching. In this work, we introduce Eso-LMs, a new family of models that fuses AR and MDM paradigms, enabling smooth interpolation between their perp…

Advancing Digital Accessibility: Integrating AR/VR and Health Tech for Inclusive Healthcare Solutions
Modern healthcare domain incorporates a feature of digital accessibility to ensure seamless flow of online services for the patients. However, this feature of digital accessibility poses a challenge particularly for patients with disabilities. To eradicate this issue and provide immersive and user-friendly experiences, evolving technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are integrated in medical applications to enhance accessibility.

On the local metric dimension of $K_4$-free graphs
Let $G$ be a graph of order $ n(G) $, local metric dimension $ \dim_l(G) $, and clique number $ ω(G) $. It has been conjectured that if $ n(G) \geq ω(G) + 1 \geq 4 $, then $ \dim_l(G) \leq \left( \frac{ω(G) - 2}{ω(G) - 1} \right) n(G) $. In this paper the conjecture is confirmed for the case $ ω(G) = 3 $. Consequently, a problem regarding the local metric dimension of planar graphs is also resolved.

Fast-in-Slow: A Dual-System Foundation Model Unifying Fast Manipulation within Slow Reasoning
Generalized policy and execution efficiency constitute the two critical challenges in robotic manipulation. While recent foundation policies benefit from the common-sense reasoning capabilities of internet-scale pretrained vision-language models (VLMs), they often suffer from low execution frequency. To mitigate this dilemma, dual-system approaches, inspired by Kahneman's theory, have been proposed to leverage a VLM-based System 2 model handling high-level reasoning and a separate System 1 acti…

Sparsity-Driven Parallel Imaging Consistency for Improved Self-Supervised MRI Reconstruction
Physics-driven deep learning (PD-DL) models have proven to be a powerful approach for improved reconstruction of rapid MRI scans. In order to train these models in scenarios where fully-sampled reference data is unavailable, self-supervised learning has gained prominence. However, its application at high acceleration rates frequently introduces artifacts, compromising image fidelity. To mitigate this shortcoming, we propose a novel way to train PD-DL networks via carefully-designed perturbation…

In-the-wild Audio Spatialization with Flexible Text-guided Localization

In-the-wild Audio Spatialization with Flexible Text-guided Localization
To enhance immersive experiences, binaural audio offers spatial awareness of sounding objects in AR, VR, and embodied AI applications. While existing audio spatialization methods can generally map any available monaural audio to binaural audio signals, they often lack the flexible and interactive control needed in complex multi-object user-interactive environments. To address this, we propose a Text-guided Audio Spatialization (TAS) framework that utilizes flexible text prompts and evaluates ou…

Three fast-spinning medium-sized Hilda asteroids uncovered by TESS
Hilda asteroids, which orbit in a 3:2 resonance with Jupiter, serve as key indicators of dynamical processes in the early solar system. Their spin rates, an important probe of these mechanisms, can constrain their density and collisional evolution, offering valuable insights into their origin. In this paper, we report on the identification of three fast-rotating Hilda asteroids with spin periods in the 3.2--3.7 h range using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. These rotation pe…

Transition from Optically Excited to Intrinsic Spin Polarization in WSe$_2$
Layered 2D van der Waals materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, are promising for nanoscale spintronic and optoelectronic applications. Harnessing their full potential requires understanding both intrinsic transport and the dynamics of optically excited spin and charge carriers -- particularly the transition between excited spin polarization and the conduction band's intrinsic spin texture. Here, we investigate the spin polarization of the conduction bands of bulk WSe$_2$ using st…

ISDrama: Immersive Spatial Drama Generation through Multimodal Prompting
Multimodal immersive spatial drama generation focuses on creating continuous multi-speaker binaural speech with dramatic prosody based on multimodal prompts, with potential applications in AR, VR, and others. This task requires simultaneous modeling of spatial information and dramatic prosody based on multimodal inputs, with high data collection costs. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first attempt to address these challenges. We construct MRSDrama, the first multimodal recorded sp…

Vertical Profile Corrected Satellite NH3 Retrievals Enable Accurate Agricultural Emission Characterization in China
Ammonia (NH3) emissions significantly contribute to atmospheric pollution, yet discrepancies exist between bottom-up inventories and satellite-constrained top-down estimates, with the latter typically one-third higher. This study quantifies how assumptions about NH3 vertical distribution in satellite retrievals contribute to this gap. By implementing spatially and temporally resolved vertical profiles from the Community Multiscale Air Quality model to replace steep gradients in Infrared Atmosph…
