AI applications have shifted from single, mono-lithic foundation models (FM) to compound agentic systems. Yet today’s stacks remain fragmented: even as protocols (e.g., MCP, A2A) ease tool/agent connectivity, each framework embeds an implicit runtime for state, memory, budgets, and guardrails, makin…
Sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) is the task of retrieving images from a natural image database that correspond to a given hand-drawn sketch. Ideally, an SBIR model should learn to associate components in the sketch (say, feet, tail, etc.) with the corresponding components in the image. However,…
We present a generative framework for generalized zero-shot learning where the training and test classes are not necessarily disjoint. Built upon a variational autoencoder based architecture, consisting of a probabilistic encoder and a probabilistic emph{conditional} decoder, our model can generate…
