Learning Constraints-Based Adaptive Hypergraph Neural Networks for Solving Vehicle Routing Problems

The paper presents an end‑to‑end framework that uses constraint‑oriented hypergraphs and reinforcement learning to solve vehicle routing problems. It introduces a dynamic hyperedge reconstruction strategy for better hypergraph representation and a double‑pointer attention decoder for iterative solution generation. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that the method removes the need for complex heuristic operators while improving solution quality.

Cut-ViT: Task-Specific Model Pruning via Gram Anchoring Subspace Consistency

Cut‑ViT introduces a task‑specific pruning pipeline for visual foundation models that uses gram anchoring matrices and subspace decomposition to align feature representations between native and pruned DINOv3 models. The method incorporates basis‑agnostic and residual constraints to preserve robustness across spatial and channel dimensions, and employs spectral entropy adaptation to tailor the pruning objective to downstream tasks. Experiments demonstrate that Cut‑ViT achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on six tasks across nine datasets while reducing pruning time to about one minute on a single A100 GPU, using only 20.9% of the time and 45.5% of the GPU memory compared to prior methods.

AVIS: Adaptive Test-Time Scaling for Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2606. 11576v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs) benefit from chain-of-thought prompting and test-time scaling, but these gains often come with prohibitive inference cost due to large visual contexts and long decoding chains.

Continuous Actions from Discrete Minds: Latent-Aligned Planning for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

The paper introduces LaPla, a Vision‑Language‑Action framework that uses a latent‑aligned planning approach to convert discrete semantic reasoning into continuous, physics‑constrained driving actions. It employs a residual VQ‑VAE to encode vehicle kinematics into a structured latent space, then projects multimodal inputs—images, past actions, and text—directly into this latent space, allowing a frozen decoder to generate physically plausible trajectories without quantization errors. Experiments on nuScenes and NVIDIA AlpaSim show LaPla reduces long‑horizon L2 error by 15.52% and improves closed‑loop success rates by 33.34 percentage points while cutting inference latency.
