The paper introduces a novel framework that converts structural framing plans from PDF drawings into editable finite‑element model drafts without requiring task‑specific detector training. It combines a deterministic geometry extraction stage—estimating scale, recognizing five entity classes, and assembling a drafting grammar—with an agentic vision‑language refinement stage that proposes corrections, performs admission tests, and ensures fail‑closed transactions. Evaluation on a 100‑plan benchmark shows high accuracy, with scale within 0.1% and recall/precision values above 0.86 for all component types.

The paper investigates why reasoning‑augmented text‑to‑image models like GoT‑R1 sometimes fail on compositional prompts. By separating the explicit textual plan from the decoder, the authors show that the decoder faithfully executes the plan while the planner often writes incorrect spatial relations, especially for phrasing‑dependent cues. Editing or replacing the plan improves image quality without retraining, demonstrating the viability of modular planner‑decoder architectures.

We study what happens when a single general-purpose large language model acts as the sole researcher on a long-horizon neural architecture design problem. The agent receives a scientific question, an initial hypothesis and motivation, a compute budget, and research affordances (source and experiment management, experiment tracking, literature access, and persistent memory), then autonomously proposes, implements, evaluates, and records experiments over an extended period.
arXiv:2607. 25487v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models translate natural-language commands into robot action sequences, but leading systems on the LIBERO-Plus robustness benchmark use three- to seven-billion-parameter backbones whose memory demands can exceed embedded robotic budgets.

arXiv:2607. 07984v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural architecture search (NAS) methods have grown increasingly efficient, yet they remain bounded by manually engineered search spaces that require substantial domain expertise and must be rebuilt for every new task.

In 2026, the SHROOM-Visions shared task was launched at the UncertaiNLP Workshop co‑located with EMNLP to address hallucinations in large vision‑language models. The task builds on the SHEEP dataset and asks participants to detect and classify fine‑grained hallucination spans in image‑conditioned text generation across four languages (Chinese, English, French, Italian) using a five‑class taxonomy. The competition attracted 27 teams and over 600 system submissions, with top systems achieving character‑level, label‑conditioned, and IoU scores of 0.58, 0.46, and 0.51 respectively, surpassing baselines by 30‑40 points.
