MEC$^3$O: Multi-Expert Consensus for Code Time Complexity Prediction
Predicting the complexity of source code is essential for software development and algorithm analysis. Recently, Baik et al. (2025) introduced CodeComplex for code time complexity prediction. The paper shows that LLMs without fine-tuning struggle with certain complexity classes. This suggests that no single LLM excels at every class, but rather each model shows advantages in certain classes. We propose MEC$^3$O, a multi-expert consensus system, which extends the multi-agent debate frameworks. M…

Cost-Efficient Long Code Translation using LLMs while Leveraging Identifier Replacements
In the domain of software development, LLMs have been utilized to automate tasks such as code translation, where source code from one programming language is translated to another while preserving its functionality. However, LLMs often struggle with long source codes that don't fit into the context window, which produces inaccurate translations. To address this, we propose a novel zero-shot code translation method that incorporates identifier replacement. By substituting user-given long identif…

Psyzkaller: Learning from Historical and On-the-Fly Execution Data for Smarter Seed Generation in OS kernel Fuzzing
Fuzzing has become a cornerstone technique for uncovering vulnerabilities and enhancing the security of OS kernels. However, state-of-the-art kernel fuzzers, including the de facto standard Syzkaller, struggle to generate valid syscall sequences that respect implicit Syscall Dependency Relations (SDRs). Consequently, many generated seeds either fail kernel validation or cannot penetrate deep execution paths, resulting in significant inefficiency. We hypothesize that SDRs can be effectively le…

SynthVC: Leveraging Synthetic Data for End-to-End Low Latency Streaming Voice Conversion
Voice Conversion (VC) aims to modify a speaker's timbre while preserving linguistic content. While recent VC models achieve strong performance, most struggle in real-time streaming scenarios due to high latency, dependence on ASR modules, or complex speaker disentanglement, which often results in timbre leakage or degraded naturalness. We present SynthVC, a streaming end-to-end VC framework that directly learns speaker timbre transformation from synthetic parallel data generated by a pre-traine…

Data-driven multifidelity and multiscale topology optimization based on phasor-based evolutionary de-homogenization
Multiscale topology optimization is crucial for designing porous infill structures with high stiffness-to-weight ratios and excellent energy absorption. Although gradient-based methods provide a rigorous framework, they are computationally expensive and struggle to capture cross-scale sensitivities in nonlinear settings. Moreover, the resulting hierarchical geometries are often overly complex and lack macroscopically meaningful features. To overcome these issues, we propose an evolutionary de-h…

However, due to the substantial semantic gap between high-level specifications and RTL, coupled with limited training data, existing models struggle with generation accuracy.

Systems designed to address this challenge are often trained with supervision from warm CF models in order to leverage collaborative and content information from the available interaction data.

CapGeo: A Caption-Assisted Approach to Geometric Reasoning
Geometric reasoning remains a core challenge for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Even the most advanced closed-source systems, such as GPT-O3 and Gemini-2.5-Pro, still struggle to solve geometry problems reliably, despite exhibiting strong textual reasoning abilities on tasks like the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). This gap suggests that the bottleneck lies in understanding geometric diagrams rather than reasoning itself. Since geometric figures can often be faithfully des…

REGENT: Relevance-Guided Attention for Entity-Aware Multi-Vector Neural Re-Ranking
Current neural re-rankers often struggle with complex information needs and long, content-rich documents. The fundamental issue is not computational--it is intelligent content selection: identifying what matters in lengthy, multi-faceted texts. While humans naturally anchor their understanding around key entities and concepts, neural models process text within rigid token windows, treating all interactions as equally important and missing critical semantic signals. We introduce REGENT, a neural…

Query-Specific GNN: A Comprehensive Graph Representation Learning Method for Retrieval Augmented Generation
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has demonstrated its ability to enhance Large Language Models (LLMs) by integrating external knowledge sources. However, multi-hop questions, which require the identification of multiple knowledge targets to form a synthesized answer, raise new challenges for RAG systems. Under the multi-hop settings, existing methods often struggle to fully understand the questions with complex semantic structures and are susceptible to irrelevant noise during the retrieval…

$\mathbf{T^3}$: Reducing Belief Deviation in Reinforcement Learning for Active Reasoning
Active reasoning requires large language models (LLMs) to interact with external sources and strategically gather information to solve problems. Central to this process is belief tracking: maintaining a coherent understanding of the problem state and the missing information toward the solution. However, due to limited reasoning capabilities, LLM-based agents often suffer from belief deviation: they struggle to correctly model beliefs, lose track of problem states, and fall into uninformative or…

Software Defect Prediction using Autoencoder Transformer Model
An AI-ML-powered quality engineering approach uses AI-ML to enhance software quality assessments by predicting defects. Existing ML models struggle with noisy data types, imbalances, pattern recognition, feature extraction, and generalization. To address these challenges, we develop a new model, Adaptive Differential Evolution (ADE) based Quantum Variational Autoencoder-Transformer (QVAET) Model (ADE-QVAET). ADE combines with QVAET to obtain high-dimensional latent features and maintain sequent…

PhySIC: Physically Plausible 3D Human-Scene Interaction and Contact from a Single Image
Reconstructing metrically accurate humans and their surrounding scenes from a single image is crucial for virtual reality, robotics, and comprehensive 3D scene understanding. However, existing methods struggle with depth ambiguity, occlusions, and physically inconsistent contacts. To address these challenges, we introduce PhySIC, a framework for physically plausible Human-Scene Interaction and Contact reconstruction. PhySIC recovers metrically consistent SMPL-X human meshes, dense scene surface…

OFP-Repair: Repairing Floating-point Errors via Original-Precision Arithmetic
Errors in floating-point programs can lead to severe consequences, particularly in critical domains such as military, aerospace, and financial systems, making their repair a crucial research problem. In practice, some errors can be fixed using original-precision arithmetic, while others require high-precision computation. Developers often avoid addressing the latter due to excessive computational resources required. However, they sometimes struggle to distinguish between these two types of erro…

EReLiFM: Evidential Reliability-Aware Residual Flow Meta-Learning for Open-Set Domain Generalization under Noisy Labels
Open-Set Domain Generalization (OSDG) aims to enable deep learning models to recognize unseen categories in new domains, which is crucial for real-world applications. Label noise hinders open-set domain generalization by corrupting source-domain knowledge, making it harder to recognize known classes and reject unseen ones. While existing methods address OSDG under Noisy Labels (OSDG-NL) using hyperbolic prototype-guided meta-learning, they struggle to bridge domain gaps, especially with limited…

Prompt-Guided Spatial Understanding with RGB-D Transformers for Fine-Grained Object Relation Reasoning
Spatial reasoning in large-scale 3D environments such as warehouses remains a significant challenge for vision-language systems due to scene clutter, occlusions, and the need for precise spatial understanding. Existing models often struggle with generalization in such settings, as they rely heavily on local appearance and lack explicit spatial grounding. In this work, we introduce a dedicated spatial reasoning framework for the Physical AI Spatial Intelligence Warehouse dataset introduced in th…
