Multimodal models represent a significant advancement in artificial intelligence by enabling systems to process and understand data from multiple sources, like text and images. These models are essential for applications like image captioning, answering visual questions, and assisting in robotics, where understanding visual and language inputs is crucial. With advances in vision-language models (VLMs), AI…
Large language and vision models (LLVMs) face a critical challenge in balancing performance improvements with computational efficiency. As models grow in size, reaching up to 80B parameters, they deliver impressive results but require massive hardware resources for training and inference. This issue becomes even more pressing for real-time applications, such as augmented reality (AR), where…
LLMs have advanced significantly, showcasing their capabilities across various domains. Intelligence, a multifaceted concept, involves multiple cognitive skills, and LLMs have pushed AI closer to achieving general intelligence. Recent developments, such as OpenAI’s o1 model, integrate reasoning techniques like Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting to enhance problem-solving. While o1 performs well in general tasks, its effectiveness in…
The 3D occupancy prediction methods faced challenges in depth estimation, computational efficiency, and temporal information integration. Monocular vision struggled with depth ambiguities, while stereo vision required extensive calibration. Temporal fusion approaches, including attention-based, WrapConcat-based, and plane-sweep-based methods, attempted to address these issues but often lacked robust temporal geometry understanding. Many techniques implicitly leveraged temporal information,…
With the introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs), language creation has undergone a dramatic change, with a variety of language-related tasks being successfully integrated into a unified framework. The way people engage with technology has been completely transformed by this unification, opening up more flexible and natural communication for a wide range of uses. However,…
Advancements in natural language processing have greatly enhanced the capabilities of language models, making them essential tools for various applications, including virtual assistants, automated content creation, and data processing. As these models become more sophisticated, ensuring they generate safe and ethical outputs becomes increasingly critical. Language models, by design, can occasionally produce harmful or inappropriate…

Graph sparsification is a fundamental tool in theoretical computer science that helps to reduce the size of a graph without losing key properties. Although many sparsification methods have been introduced, hypergraph separation and cut problems have become highly relevant due to their widespread application and theoretical challenges. Hypergraphs offer more accurate modeling of complex real-world…
Software development has benefited greatly from using Large Language Models (LLMs) to produce high-quality source code, mainly because coding tasks now take less time and money to complete. However, despite these advantages, LLMs frequently produce code that, although functional, frequently has security flaws, according to both current research and real-world assessments. This constraint results from…
