DNA language models are increasingly used to represent genomic sequence, yet their effectiveness depends critically on how raw nucleotides are converted into model inputs. Unlike natural language, DNA offers no canonical “word” boundaries, making fixed tokenizations a brittle design choice under shi…
Masked diffusion models (MDMs) have achieved notable progress in modeling discrete data, while their potential in molecular generation remains underexplored. In this work, we explore their potential and introduce the surprising result that naively applying standards MDMs to molecules leads to severe…
Predicting the ground-state 3D molecular conformations from 2D molecular graphs is critical in computational chemistry due to its profound impact on molecular properties. Deep learning (DL) approaches have recently emerged as promising alternatives to computationally-heavy classical methods such as…
Object placement is a fundamental task for robots, yet it remains challenging for partially observed objects. Existing methods for object placement have limitations, such as the requirement for a complete 3D model of the object or the inability to handle complex shapes and novel objects that restric
Test-time adaptation (TTA) is an emerging paradigm that addresses distributional shifts between training and testing phases without additional data acquisition or labeling cost; only unlabeled test data streams are used for continual model adaptation. Previous TTA schemes assume that the test sample…
Instance-aware segmentation of unseen objects is essential for a robotic system in an unstructured environment. Although previous works achieved encouraging results, they were limited to segmenting the only visible regions of unseen objects. For robotic manipulation in a cluttered scene, amodal perc…
For robotic grasping tasks with diverse target objects, some deep learning-based methods have achieved state-of-the-art results using direct visual input. In contrast, actor-critic deep reinforcement learning (RL) methods typically perform very poorly when applied to grasp diverse objects, especiall…
