Octopuses possess a radically decentralized nervous system,
with the majority of their neurons residing in their arms.
Some say the octopus is a single organism with 9 brains.
From another perspective, we can say it is nine organisms housed within a single skin.
How can multiple humans come to inhabit a single organism with distributed sensory and decision-making capabilities?
How is cognition located in the network that spans bodies and environments?

How to Become an Octopus (and sometimes squid) — Gray Area Festival 2025 Workshop
What might we learn by thinking, sensing, and moving like an cephalopod? In this embodied, experimental workshop, artist Miriam Simun invites participants to leave behind the habits of upright human life and explore the world from the perspective of the soft-bodied, many-armed cephalopod.

Hodge Conjecture via Singular Varieties
In this article we study the cohomological and homological (due to Jannsen) Hodge conjecture for singular varieties. The motivation for studying singular varieties comes from the fact that any smooth projective variety X is birational to a (possibly singular) hypersurface Y in a projective space. We prove that odd dimensional hypersurfaces with $A_n$ singularities satisfy both versions of the conjecture and moreover their (smooth) resolutions satisfy the classical Hodge conjecture, thus produci…

Cell2Text: Multimodal LLM for Generating Single-Cell Descriptions from RNA-Seq Data
Single-cell RNA sequencing has transformed biology by enabling the measurement of gene expression at cellular resolution, providing information for cell types, states, and disease contexts. Recently, single-cell foundation models have emerged as powerful tools for learning transferable representations directly from expression profiles, improving performance on classification and clustering tasks. However, these models are limited to discrete prediction heads, which collapse cellular complexity …

Stylos: Multi-View 3D Stylization with Single-Forward Gaussian Splatting
We present Stylos, a single-forward 3D Gaussian framework for 3D style transfer that operates on unposed content, from a single image to a multi-view collection, conditioned on a separate reference style image. Stylos synthesizes a stylized 3D Gaussian scene without per-scene optimization or precomputed poses, achieving geometry-aware, view-consistent stylization that generalizes to unseen categories, scenes, and styles. At its core, Stylos adopts a Transformer backbone with two pathways: geome…

Complete Gaussian Splats from a Single Image with Denoising Diffusion Models

Complete Gaussian Splats from a Single Image with Denoising Diffusion Models
Gaussian splatting typically requires dense observations of the scene and can fail to reconstruct occluded and unobserved areas. We propose a latent diffusion model to reconstruct a complete 3D scene with Gaussian splats, including the occluded parts, from only a single image during inference. Completing the unobserved surfaces of a scene is challenging due to the ambiguity of the plausible surfaces. Conventional methods use a regression-based formulation to predict a single "mode" for occluded…
