Video diffusion transformers are expensive because attention dominates long spatiotemporal token sequences. We identify the \emph{high-sparsity trap}: at extreme attention sparsity, step-local training losses keep decreasing while terminal generation quality stagnates or…

Recently proposed self-supervised audio encoders learn powerful general-purpose representations of sound scenes, yet they are spatially blind. To supply the missing spatial representation of sound scenes, we introduce Bearings. Bearings is a self-supervised framework that…

Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) estimates appliance-level consumption from a whole-home meter, but appliance-specific models and fixed output inventories make coverage costly to extend. We present FM4NILM (Foundation Model for NILM), a single prompt-programmable model that…

Building gameplay features in a game engine requires more than code, as code that compiles and runs does not necessarily implement the requested gameplay. We introduce CraftBenchUE, an evaluation harness that runs agents in an isolated Unreal Engine environment, reconstructs…
