Top eight university teams move on to head-to-head finals focused on AI security for code generation.
In 2017, IEEE Internet Computing identified a single paper from its publication history that had best withstood the test of time: a 2003 paper called “Amazon.com Recommendations: Item-to-Item Collaborative Filtering”

2025Safety reasoning is a recent paradigm where LLMs reason over safety policies before generating responses, thereby mitigating limitations in existing safety measures such as over-refusal and jailbreak vulnerabilities. However, implementing this paradigm is challenging due to the resource-intensive process of creating high-quality policy-embedded chain-of-thought (CoT) datasets while ensuring reasoning remains

ACL Findings 20252025Dense embeddings are fundamental to modern machine learning systems, powering Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), information retrieval, and representation learning. While instruction-conditioning has become the dominant approach for embedding specialization, its direct application to low-capacity models imposes fundamental representational constraints that limit the performance gains derived from specialization

2025Ambiguous user queries pose a significant challenge in task-oriented dialogue systems relying on information retrieval. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in generating clarification questions to tackle query ambiguity, they rely solely on the topk retrieved documents for clarification which fails when ambiguity is too high to retrieve relevant documents in the first place. Traditional

2025Text-to-audio generation synthesizes realistic sounds or music given a natural language prompt. Diffusion-based frameworks, including the Tango and the AudioLDM series, represent the state-of-the-art in text-to-audio generation. Despite achieving high audio fidelity, they incur significant inference latency due to the slow diffusion sampling process. MAGNET, a mask-based model operating on discrete tokens

20256D object pose estimation has shown strong generalizability to novel objects. However, existing methods often require either a complete, well-reconstructed 3D model or numerous reference images that fully cover the object. Estimating 6D poses from partial references, which capture only fragments of an object’s appearance and geometry, remains challenging. To address this, we propose UA-Pose, an uncertainty-aware
