Designing Multi-Robot Ground Video Sensemaking with Public Safety Professionals
Puqi Zhou, Ali Asgarov, Aafiya Hussain +9
Videos from fleets of ground robots can advance public safety by providing scalable situational awareness and reducing professionals' burden. Yet little is known about how to desig…
EffGen: Enabling Small Language Models as Capable Autonomous Agents
Gaurav Srivastava, Aafiya Hussain, Chi Wang +2
Most existing language model agentic systems today are built and optimized for large language models (e.g., GPT, Claude, Gemini) via API calls; while powerful, this approach faces…
SoundBreak: A Systematic Study of Audio-Only Adversarial Attacks on Trimodal Models
Aafiya Hussain, Gaurav Srivastava, Alvi Ishmam +2
Multimodal foundation models that integrate audio, vision, and language achieve strong performance on reasoning and generation tasks, yet their robustness to adversarial manipulati…
BeyondBench: Contamination-Resistant Evaluation of Reasoning in Language Models
Gaurav Srivastava, Aafiya Hussain, Zhenyu Bi +5
Evaluating language models fairly is increasingly difficult as static benchmarks risk contamination by training data, obscuring whether models truly reason or recall. We introduce…
Do LLMs Overthink Basic Math Reasoning? Benchmarking the Accuracy-Efficiency Tradeoff in Language Models
Gaurav Srivastava, Aafiya Hussain, Sriram Srinivasan +1
Large language models (LLMs) achieve impressive performance on complex mathematical benchmarks yet sometimes fail on basic math reasoning while generating unnecessarily verbose res…
