Bridging Language and Physics: Automated Design of Continuum Robots with Large Language Models

RSS 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) have recently emerged as a promising tool for automating robot design from high-level specifications, yet they remain ineffective for robots operating under complex physical interactions. This limitation stems from the gap between language-based reasoning and the physica…

FaithCoT-Bench: Benchmarking Instance-Level Faithfulness of Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) increasingly rely on Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting to improve problem-solving and provide seemingly transparent explanations. However, growing evidence shows that CoT often fail to faithfully represent the underlying reasoning process, raising concerns about their rel…

Audio-Journey: Open Domain Latent Diffusion Based Text-To-Audio Generation

ICASSP 2024accepted

Despite recent progress, machine learning (ML) models for open-domain audio generation need to catch up to generative models for image, text, speech, and music. The lack of massive open-domain audio datasets is the main reason for this performance gap; we overcome this challenge through a novel data…
