Deep learning models like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers achieved great success in many visual tasks, such as image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation. However, their ability to handle different changes in data is still a big concern, especially for use in security-critical applications. Many works evaluated the robustness of CNNs and…
As artificial intelligence (AI) technology continues to advance and permeate various aspects of society, it poses significant challenges to existing legal frameworks. One recurrent issue is how the law should regulate entities that lack intentions. Traditional legal principles often rely on the concept of mens rea, or the mental state of the actor, to determine…
Understanding how LLMs comprehend natural language plans, such as instructions and recipes, is crucial for their dependable use in decision-making systems. A critical aspect of plans is their temporal sequencing, which reflects the causal relationships between steps. Planning, integral to decision-making processes, has been extensively studied across domains like robotics and embodied environments. Effective utilization,…
Large language models (LLMs) face a critical challenge in their training process: the impending scarcity of high-quality internet data. Predictions suggest that by 2026, the available pool of such data will be exhausted, forcing researchers to turn to model-generated or synthetic data for training. This shift presents both opportunities and risks. While some studies have…
