- Abstract: This study introduces another application of software engineering tools,
conceptual modeling, which can be applied to other fields of research. One way
to strengthen the relationship between software engineering and other fields is
to develop a good way to perform conceptual modeling that is capable of
addressing the peculiarities of these fields of study. This study concentrates
on humanities and social sciences, which are usually considered softer and
further away from abstractions and (abstract) machines. Specifically, we focus
on conceptual modeling as a software engineering tool (e.g., UML) in the area
of stories and movie scripts. Researchers in the humanities and social sciences
might not use the same degree of formalization that engineers do, but they
still find conceptual modeling useful. Current modeling techniques (e.g., UML)
fail in this task because they are geared toward the creation of software
systems. Similar Conceptual Modeling Language (e.g., ConML) has been proposed
with the humanities and social sciences in mind and, as claimed, can be used to
model anything. This study is a venture in this direction, where a software
modeling technique, Thinging Machine (TM), is applied to movie scripts and
stories. The paper presents a novel approach to developing diagrammatic
static/dynamic models of movie scripts and stories. The TM model diagram serves
as a neutral and independent representation for narrative discourse and can be
used as a communication instrument among participants. The examples presented
include examples from Propp s model of fairytales; the railway children and an
actual movie script seem to point to the viability of the approach.

We propose a conceptual framework that combines modeling event logs, intelligent modeling assistants, and the generation of modeling operations.
In particular, the architecture comprises modeling components that help the designer specify the system, record its operation within a graphical modeling environment, and automatically recommend relevant operations.

In the post-deep learning era, the Transformer architecture has demonstrated its powerful performance across pre-trained big models and various downstream tasks.
To further reduce the complexity of attention models, numerous efforts have been made to design more efficient methods.
Among them, the State Space Model (SSM), as a possible replacement for the self-attention based Transformer model, has drawn more and more attention in recent years.

Vision systems to see and reason about the compositional nature of visual scenes are fundamental to understanding our world.
The models learned to bridge the gap between such modalities coupled with large-scale training data facilitate contextual reasoning, generalization, and prompt capabilities at test time.
The output of such models can be modified through human-provided prompts without retraining, e.g., segmenting a particular object by providing a bounding box, having interactive dialogues by asking questions about an image or video scene or manipulating the robot's behavior through language instructions.

Grounded-decoding project aims to solve complex, long-horizon tasks in a robotic setting by leveraging the knowledge of both models.
We frame this as a problem similar to probabilistic filtering: decode a sequence that both has high probability under the language model and high probability under a set of grounded model objectives.
We demonstrate how such grounded models can be obtained across three simulation and real-world domains, and that the proposed decoding strategy is able to solve complex, long-horizon tasks in a robotic setting by leveraging the knowledge of both models.
