arXiv:2606. 15405v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory is essential for conversational agents to remain coherent across extended dialogues, follow through on commitments made many sessions earlier, and adapt their behaviour to each user.

arXiv:2604. 10024v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long video summarization presents significant challenges for multimodal large language models (MLLMs), particularly in maintaining temporal fidelity over extended durations and producing summaries that are both semantically and temporally grounded.

arXiv:2601. 14968v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Most existing time series classification methods adopt a discriminative paradigm that maps input sequences directly to one-hot encoded class labels.

arXiv:2607. 05679v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models (LMs) exhibit problematic biases, such as stereotypes.

arXiv:2606. 18986v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have given rise to time-series question answering (TSQA), which formulates time-series analysis as natural-language question answering.

arXiv:2601. 07988v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While NLP typically treats documents as independent and unordered samples, in longitudinal studies, this assumption rarely holds: documents are nested within authors and ordered in time, forming person-indexed, time-ordered $\textit{behavioral sequences}$.

Time-normalized f0 contours of Mandarin words in conversational speech have been shown to be predictable in part from their contextualized embeddings (CEs). The present study investigates whether CEs also predict spoken word duration for 7470 tokens of Mandarin monosyllabic CV words extracted from a Mandarin corpus of spontaneous speech.
arXiv:2607. 11798v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form audio description (AD) requires more than describing visible actions: it must preserve characters, events, relationships, and story context across scenes so that blind and low-vision (BLV) audiences can follow a film.

arXiv:2606. 01802v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: MOSS-Audio is a unified audio-language model for speech, environmental sound, and music understanding, supporting audio captioning, time-aware question answering, timestamped transcription, and audio-grounded reasoning.

arXiv:2601. 01095v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved impressive progress in vision-language reasoning, yet their ability to understand temporally unfolding narratives in videos remains underexplored.

arXiv:2608. 06975v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon role-playing demands that characters remain recognizable as they evolve with the narrative.
