SleepWalk: A Three-Tier Benchmark for Stress-Testing Instruction-Guided Vision-Language Navigation [2]
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have advanced rapidly in multimodal perception and language understanding, yet it remains unclear whether they can reliably ground language into…
HuggingFace Papers
EgoForce: Forearm-Guided Camera-Space 3D Hand Pose from a Monocular Egocentric Camera [3]
Reconstructing the absolute 3D pose and shape of the hands from the user's viewpoint using a single head-mounted camera is crucial for practical egocentric interaction in AR/VR,…
HuggingFace Papers
LLM Agents Already Know When to Call Tools -- Even Without Reasoning [4]
Tool-augmented LLM agents tend to call tools indiscriminately, even when the model can answer directly. Each unnecessary call wastes API fees and latency, yet no existing…
HuggingFace Papers
Micro-Defects Expose Macro-Fakes: Detecting AI-Generated Images via Local Distributional Shifts [5]
Recent generative models can produce images that appear highly realistic, raising challenges in distinguishing real and AI-generated images. Yet existing detectors based on…
HuggingFace Papers
Solve the Loop: Attractor Models for Language and Reasoning [6]
Looped Transformers offer a promising alternative to purely feed-forward computation by iteratively refining latent representations, improving language modeling and reasoning. Yet…
HuggingFace Papers
A Single Layer to Explain Them All:Understanding Massive Activations in Large Language Models [7]
We investigate the origins of massive activations in large language models (LLMs) and identify a specific layer named the Massive Emergence Layer (ME Layer), that is consistently…
HuggingFace Papers
Urban-ImageNet: A Large-Scale Multi-Modal Dataset and Evaluation Framework for Urban Space Perception [8]
We present Urban-ImageNet, a large-scale multi-modal dataset and evaluation benchmark for urban space perception from user-generated social media imagery. The corpus contains over…
HuggingFace Papers
Learning, Fast and Slow: Towards LLMs That Adapt Continually [9]
Large language models (LLMs) are trained for downstream tasks by updating their parameters (e.g., via RL). However, updating parameters forces them to absorb task-specific…
HuggingFace Papers
Efficient Pre-Training with Token Superposition [10]
Pre-training of Large Language Models is often prohibitively expensive and inefficient at scale, requiring complex and invasive modifications in order to achieve high data…
HuggingFace Papers
PASA: A Principled Embedding-Space Watermarking Approach for LLM-Generated Text under Semantic-Invariant Attacks [11]
Watermarking for large language models (LLMs) is a promising approach for detecting LLM-generated text and enabling responsible deployment. However, existing watermarking methods…
