This paper presents the results of a within-subjects user study with 27 participants over the age of 60, comparing the use of two different user interfaces for an assistive robot scooter. The graphical user interface (GUI) shows a representation of the environment on a 10-inch touchscreen. The tangi
Multi-hop question answering (MHQA) involves reasoning across multiple documents to answer complex questions. Dense retrievers typically outperform sparse methods like BM25 by leveraging semantic embeddings in many tasks; however, they require labeled query-document pairs for fine-tuning, which pose…
Recent advances in question answering have led to substantial progress in tasks such as multi-hop reasoning. However, global sensemaking—answering questions by synthesizing information from an entire corpus—remains a significant challenge. A prior graph-basedapproach to global sensemaking lacks retr
In industry, random bin picking is a complex and difficult task where instance segmentation and object pose estimation based on point clouds are key processes. Recently, learning-based segmentation and pose estimation methods for 3D point clouds have been proposed. However, many of them require supe…
