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…

Modalities Contribute Unequally: Enhancing Medical Multi-modal Learning through Adaptive Modality Token Re-balancing

ICML 2025poster

Medical multi-modal learning requires an effective fusion capability of various heterogeneous modalities. One vital challenge is how to effectively fuse modalities when their data quality varies across different modalities and patients. For example, in the TCGA benchmark, the performance of the same…

One Token Embedding Is Enough to Deadlock Your Large Reasoning Model

NeurIPS 2025poster

Modern large reasoning models (LRMs) exhibit impressive multi-step problem-solving via chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning. However, this iterative thinking mechanism introduces a new vulnerability surface. We present the Deadlock Attack, a resource exhaustion method that hijacks an LRM's generative co…
