PRISM: Streaming Human Motion Generation with Per-Joint Latent Decomposition

PRISM introduces a streaming human motion generation framework that employs a joint-factorized latent space and noise-free condition injection within a single foundation model to overcome representation entanglement and error accumulation, thereby unifying text-to-motion, pose-conditioned, and long-horizon sequential synthesis with state-of-the-art performance.

Carbon-aware Market Participation for Building Energy Management Systems

This paper proposes a unified, real-time carbon-aware building energy management system that integrates a Transformer-based forecasting model with a mixed-integer linear program to co-optimize grid imports, storage, and flexible demand across day-ahead and real-time markets, achieving a 22.5% emission reduction with only a 1.7% cost increase.

Cybersecurity AI: Hacking Consumer Robots in the AI Era

This paper demonstrates that Generative AI tools, specifically the open-source CAI framework, have fundamentally disrupted consumer robot cybersecurity by automating the discovery of critical vulnerabilities across diverse devices like lawnmowers, exoskeletons, and window cleaners, thereby exposing a dangerous asymmetry between democratized offensive capabilities and lagging defensive measures.

A note on approximating the average degree of bounded arboricity graphs

This paper presents a simplified and fully analyzed sublinear-time algorithm that achieves a (1+ε)(1+\varepsilon)-approximation of the average degree in bounded arboricity graphs using O(ε2α/d)O(\varepsilon^{-2}\alpha/d) queries, thereby recovering logarithmic factors lost in previous work and offering a modified version with O(ε2n/d)O(\varepsilon^{-2}\sqrt{n/d}) query complexity.

A Hybrid Direct-Iterative Method for Solving KKT Linear Systems

This paper proposes a hybrid direct-iterative method for solving KKT linear systems in interior point optimization that replaces the communication-heavy, pivoting-dependent LDL^T factorization with a GPU-efficient strategy combining Cholesky factorization for smaller positive definite systems and iterative Schur complement solves, thereby achieving superior performance on large-scale problems.

Path Cover, Hamiltonicity, and Independence Number: An FPT Perspective

This paper presents a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm that resolves the open question of whether a graph can be covered by fewer than α(G)\alpha(G) vertex-disjoint paths by outputting either a minimum path cover or an independent set certifying the cover's near-optimality, while also providing the first polynomial-time Hamiltonian path decision for graphs with independence number at most three.

A Mixed-Methods Study on the Implications of Unsafe Rust for Interoperation, Encapsulation, and Tooling

Through a mixed-methods study of 179 Rust developers, this paper reveals that while unsafe code is primarily used out of necessity and avoided when possible, current tooling limitations regarding foreign function calls and encapsulation create significant challenges, highlighting the urgent need for improved verification tools to ensure soundness in multi-language applications.
