Hierarchical Self-Attention: Generalizing Neural Attention Mechanics to Multi-Scale Problems

NeurIPS 2025poster

Transformers and their attention mechanism have been revolutionary in the field of Machine Learning. While originally proposed for the language data, they quickly found their way to the image, video, graph, etc. data modalities with various signal geometries. Despite this versatility, generalizing t…

Windows Agent Arena: Evaluating Multi-Modal OS Agents at Scale

ICML 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) show potential as computer agents, enhancing productivity and software accessibility in multi-modal tasks. However, measuring agent performance in sufficiently realistic and complex environments becomes increasingly challenging as: (i) most benchmarks are limited to sp…
