arXiv:2606. 10611v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional heuristic solvers for the 2D irregular nesting problem share a fundamental limitation: they are blind to polygon geometry, relying on guided brute-force to navigate the continuous placement space with minimal geometrical guidance.

arXiv:2608. 00270v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural Combinatorial Optimization (NCO) techniques have emerged as a highly efficient alternative to traditional exact algorithms for solving routing problems such as the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP).

Existing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibits a critical bottleneck in robust spatial reasoning. Recent reinforcement learning (RL) methods aim to close this gap with verifiable outcomes, yet they suffer from poor credit assignment across intermediate reasoning steps.
arXiv:2607. 17243v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-view spatial reasoning requires vision-language models to compare visual evidence across images, align object correspondences, and infer spatial relations over long visual contexts, a setting where chain-of-thought reasoning tends to grow verbose without becoming more accurate.

arXiv:2603. 28385v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Maritime surveillance missions, such as search and rescue and environmental monitoring, rely on the efficient allocation of sensing assets over vast and geometrically complex areas.

arXiv:2602. 11626v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Learning solution operators on arbitrary geometries remains a central challenge in scientific machine learning, especially for many-query simulation, physics-informed learning, and evolving geometries requiring accurate, geometry-aware predictions at arbitrary spatial locations.
