Today's trail

Does progress on spatial reasoning benchmarks translate into better navigation? Existing benchmarks test isolated inferences from images or videos, with little connection to downstream navigation. Our analysis reveals a gap between benchmark-oriented spatial specialization and…

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly used for long-document processing, where the inputs combine text with charts, tables, figures, and complex layouts. Deploying them means choosing how to feed the document to the model, which retriever to use when only a subset of…

Resting-state functional connectivity (FC) is widely used to classify brain phenotypes and disorders. Most pipelines use the full connectome and seek gains through model design. We instead examine how FC geometry constrains classification and cross-site transfer. Across-subject…

Radiology AI systems increasingly inform clinical decisions such as triage, follow-up imaging, and treatment planning. For these decisions to be made safely, model outputs must be well calibrated, meaning predicted probabilities accurately reflect true risk. Many standard…
