Modeling Robotics Dataset Construction as an Artifact-Based Build Process

arXiv:2606. 00162v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotic systems generate large volumes of multimodal sensor data, but converting ROS bag recordings into machine learning datasets is often handled by ad hoc sequential scripts, creating engineering overhead and slow iteration cycles.

A Configuration-First Framework for Reproducible, Low-Code Machine Learning: a Localization Use Case

The paper introduces a configuration-first framework called LOCALIZE that streamlines machine learning experimentation by declaring experiments in human-readable configuration files and orchestrating isolated processes for each workflow stage. It version‑controls code, data, configurations, and artifacts, enabling reproducible runs. A qualitative comparison with five platforms and quantitative tests against Jupyter and Kedro show that LOCALIZE reduces code edits while keeping time and memory usage comparable, and scales sublinearly with dataset size.

An Embodied Simulation Platform, Benchmark, and Data-Efficient Augmentation Framework for Wet-Lab Robotics

arXiv:2606. 12936v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wet-lab robots can improve the reproducibility, throughput, and safety of biomedical experiments, but scaling their learning requires customizable simulators for safe and reproducible task generation, open editable laboratory assets, and efficient pipelines that turn limited demonstrations into usable training data.

SimCRAFT: Distilling Remote Sensing Agents via Synthetic Trajectories and Contextual Retrieval-Augmented Fine-Tuning

SimCRAFT is a model‑agnostic framework that distills remote sensing orchestration into a compact 7B‑scale model. It creates a large, constraint‑validated workflow planning corpus (SimRS‑14k) using a multi‑agent synthesis engine and a Mock Execution Engine, then fine‑tunes the model with Contextual Retrieval‑Augmented Fine‑Tuning (CRAFT) to reason analogically. Experiments show SimCRAFT‑7B outperforms open‑weight LLMs and rivals advanced closed‑source models, providing a lightweight, efficient baseline for autonomous remote sensing deployment.

DataFlow-Harness: A Grounded Code-Agent Platform for Constructing Editable LLM Data Pipelines

arXiv:2607. 16617v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to automate data-processing workflows, yet coding agents typically produce scripts that are not automatically materialized as persistent, editable platform artifacts.

HoliBench: A Cross-Platform Benchmarking and Deployment Toolkit for Foundation Models in CPS-IoT Applications

HoliBench is a modular benchmarking and deployment toolkit that jointly measures accuracy, latency, and energy for foundation models across a wide range of devices, from single-board computers to GPU servers. It provides a platform abstraction layer that calibrates cross-device measurements and supports multiple model modalities, inference engines, and quantization levels. Using HoliBench, the authors evaluated 20 models on 7 device types, revealing tradeoffs such as limited latency gains from quantization on low‑precision hardware and diminishing accuracy returns relative to energy consumption, while also showing that single-model profiles can predict multi-model pipeline performance within a few percent.

Cost-Effective Agent Harnesses for Abstract Reasoning and Generalization on ARC-AGI-1

arXiv:2607. 06764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent progress on ARC-AGI-1 from disclosed architectures has come broadly from two regimes: heavy test-time compute over frontier models (evolutionary search, exhaustive sampling, extended chain-of-thought), or benchmark-specific training in which small models are fine-tuned on ARC data, often with task-specialized architectures.
