arXiv:2608. 07088v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) encode images as long visual token sequences, making prefilling and KV-cache storage expensive.

arXiv:2606. 14757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Though Vision Transformers (ViTs) have become the dominant backbone in many computer vision tasks, due to permutation equivariance, their attention mechanism lacks explicit spatial inductive biases.

arXiv:2608. 04190v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying pre-trained perception models in novel environments degrades their accuracy under distributional shift, and assembling them alone does not recover it: combiners such as majority voting trade recall for precision and are brittle to coordinated failures.

arXiv:2607. 09825v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotic manipulation policies rely on pre-trained vision models that give either a global scene embedding or a dense patch grid.

arXiv:2503. 09399v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large-scale image classification datasets exhibit strong compositional biases: objects tend to be centered, appear at characteristic scales, and co-occur with class-specific context.

arXiv:2607. 05568v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Representing 3D shapes as compact sets of geometric primitives is fundamental to robotics, simulation, and scene understanding.
