Zheng Tang, Shuo Wang, David C. Anastasiu +34
The 10th AI City Challenge, held with ECCV 2026, marks a decade of community benchmarking for intelligent transportation, smart cities, and physical AI. Since its 2017 start with v…
S-JEPA : Soft Clustering Anchors for Self-Supervised Speech Representation Learning
Georgios Ioannides, Adrian Kieback, Judah Goldfeder +5
Self-supervised speech encoders are predominantly trained by predicting discrete hard cluster IDs at masked positions, a recipe that collapses acoustic ambiguity at category bounda…
Evidence of an Emergent "Self" in Continual Robot Learning
Adidev Jhunjhunwala, Judah Goldfeder, Hod Lipson
A key challenge to understanding self-awareness has been a principled way of quantifying whether an intelligent system has a concept of a "self", and if so how to differentiate the…
Mirage Probes: How Vision Models Fake Visual Understanding
Daniel Ben-Levi, Judah Goldfeder, Weiliang Zhao +5
Vision-language models (VLMs) can answer image-based questions confidently, and often correctly, even when no image is provided. This mirage behavior inflates benchmark scores with…
CTF4Nuclear: Common Task Framework for Nuclear Fission and Fusion Models
Stefano Riva, Carolina Introini, Antonio Cammi +13
The demand for clean energy is ever increasing, with new nuclear technologies presenting a complementary solution to renewable energies. However, designing and operating these syst…
The Seismic Wavefield Common Task Framework
Alexey Yermakov, Yue Zhao, Marine Denolle +13
Seismology faces fundamental challenges in state forecasting and reconstruction (e.g., earthquake early warning and ground motion prediction) and managing the parametric variabilit…
