On-device inference is booming, but the momentum is almost all in language models. Diffusion pipelines are memory hungry, latency-sensitive, and require orchestrating an embedder, a transformer, a decoder, and often further postprocessing that is not as standardized as LLM…

Long transcripts are costly inputs for downstream NLP systems and often contain irrelevant context. We study query-conditioned topic localization: predicting the sentence span in a transcript that best addresses a topic-title query. To improve span localization, we reuse ASR…

Frontier language models now produce professional deliverables that expert graders judge to match human work on a substantial share of economically valuable tasks, yet most enterprise GenAI initiatives fail to show a measurable business effect and a large fraction of agentic…

Clustering high-dimensional data is a fundamental task in unsupervised machine learning with applications to a variety of domains. In the centralized data scenario, this task is commonly solved using deep clustering methods that utilize deep neural network architectures to…
