Multivector retrieval models achieve state-of-the-art effectiveness through fine-grained token-level representations, but their deployment incurs substantial computational and memory costs. Current so…
LLM agents are expected to complete end-to-end units of work across software tools, business services, and local workspaces. Yet many agent benchmarks freeze a curated task set at release time and gra…
User simulators are increasingly central to interactive information retrieval, yet the community lacks standardized evaluation tools. Simulators serve two objectives, behavioral realism (matching real…
LLMs are increasingly employed both as judges for evaluating open-ended outputs and as co-creation partners in AI-assisted programming; yet rigorous evaluation in human-AI co-creation settings remains…
Recommendation algorithms have become the dominant mechanism for information distribution on digital platforms, profoundly shaping personalized information consumption environments. However, gender bi…
Android residential proxy applications represent a growing class of potentially-unwanted programs (PUPs) that covertly route third-party traffic through end-user devices, enabling ad fraud, credential…
Pretrial risk assessment tools are used on over one million U.S. defendants each year, yet their use for predicting rare violent re-offense faces a basic statistical barrier. We derive a universal pre…
Recommender systems increasingly incorporate textual reviews to enrich user and item representations. However, most review-aware models remain optimized for rating prediction rather than ranking quali…
LLMs have achieved strong results on both function-level code synthesis and repository-level code modification, yet a capability that falls between these two extremes -- compositional code creation, i…
The security of open-source software repositories is increasingly threatened by next-gen software supply chain attacks. These attacks include multiphase malware execution, remote access activation, an…
Deploying an intrusion detector trained in one industrial plant to another remains difficult because Industrial Control System (ICS) traffic is highly site-dependent, labels are scarce, and unseen att…
Viruses represent the most abundant biological entities on Earth and play a pivotal role in microbial ecosystems, yet, as prominent human pathogens, they are closely linked to human morbidity and mort…
Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (MSA) requires integrating language, acoustic, and visual signals without sacrificing modality-specific sentiment evidence. Existing methods mainly improve either shared-…
Wearable Human Activity Recognition (HAR) still lacks a representation that is both explicit and adaptable. Handcrafted time-series features (TSFs) capture meaningful motion statistics and remain comp…
The increasing adoption of AI systems in hiring has raised concerns about algorithmic bias and accountability, prompting regulatory responses including the EU AI Act, NYC Local Law 144, and Colorado's…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have made query reformulation ubiquitous in modern retrieval and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, enabling the generation of multiple semantically equivalen…
Proponents of software verification suggest that code simplicity is linked to the effort to verify code, hypothesizing that formal verifiers produce fewer false positive warnings and require less manu…
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) systems that can automatically generate content in the form of source code or other contents (e.g., images) has seen increasing popularity due to the emergence…
Program verification is a formal technique to rigorously ensure the correctness and fault-freeness of software systems. However, constructing comprehensive interprocedural specifications for full veri…
MER2026 marks the fourth edition of the MER series of challenges. The MER series provides valuable data resources to the research community and offers tasks centered on recent research trends, establi…
