Constraint-Safe Graph-Context Scoring for Stable Point-Feature Labels Under Text-Width and Accessibility-Inspired Profiles

The paper introduces LABELSENSE-Pilot, a prototype for placing point-feature labels on interactive maps that balances geometric validity, display yield, local utility, and stability during camera motion. It generates eight compass candidates per feature, scores them with a multilayer perceptron using graph-context summaries, adds a previous-placement bonus, and selects a layout via mixed-integer optimization, ensuring viewport containment, per-feature uniqueness, and pairwise clearance. Experiments on 2,500 airport data show 85.62 % label display with only 2.09 % flicker and no collisions, outperforming a handcrafted integer program in flicker reduction while maintaining comparable display rates.

PosterHarness: Turning Scientific Poster Generation into an Auditable Instruction-Following Benchmark

arXiv:2607. 03006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-rich image models can now design poster-scale layouts, but we lack ways to measure whether they honor scientific communication contracts: legible labels, prescribed aspect ratios, and -- above all -- abstaining from fabricated scientific figures.

GeoContext: One Context Ladder, Two Failure Modes in Vision-Language Geolocation: Flat Reliance on User-Provided Location Context and False Confirmation of Location Claims

GeoContext is a new vision‑language geolocation benchmark that introduces two tasks: GeoHint, where a model must localize an image given a coarse location hint, and GeoVerify, where a model must decide if an image was taken within 150 m of a claimed place. The benchmark builds a context ladder by stratifying nearby reference points by distance and referenceability, allowing the same image to be evaluated under varying context. Evaluation of five models on 109 sites in 30 cities shows that hint repetition is low, localization error grows with hint distance, and models struggle to achieve high discriminability in GeoVerify, with many false acceptances reported with high confidence.

GrabVG: Graph-Attentive Binding for Visual Grounding in UAV Imagery

GrabVG is a visual grounding framework for UAV imagery that tackles the challenges of small, densely packed, and visually similar objects by separating the task into preattentive hypothesis search and graph-attentive feature binding. It first generates a compact set of reliable object hypotheses using distillation-guided proposal induction and text-aware filtering, then constructs a sparse graph where language-guided visual cues and inter-instance topological relationships are jointly bound and propagated via graph attention. Experiments on AerialVG and AerialSense demonstrate that GrabVG achieves a strong accuracy–speed trade‑off, reaching 67.31% and 80.34% Acc@0.5 and outperforming baselines by 10.55 and 8.76 percentage points.

GrabVG is a visual grounding framework for UAV imagery that tackles the challenges of small, densely packed, and visually similar objects. It splits the task into preattentive hypothesis search and graph‑attentive feature binding, using distillation‑guided proposals and a sparse graph to capture intra‑ and inter‑instance relationships. Experiments on AerialVG and AerialSense show that GrabVG achieves higher accuracy and speed, outperforming baselines by significant margins.

GraphDecisionBench: Benchmarking System One Models on Graph Tasks

GraphDecisionBench is a benchmark designed to evaluate System One models—such as Jev—that make decisions directly from supplied options on graph-related tasks. The benchmark is model‑independent and incorporates structural task profiles, matched graph‑text input contrasts, and heuristic‑proposal controls to diagnose graph decision performance. Evaluations across fourteen model‑interface configurations reveal that accurate adjacency recognition does not guarantee broader structural correctness, joint graph‑text input does not consistently improve prediction, and feasible construction does not ensure high solution quality.
