Real2Sim2Real for Vision-Language-Action Manipulation: An AMD ROCm-Based Pipeline

arXiv:2607. 22997v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physical AI -- the integration of large vision-language-action (VLA) models with embodied agents that act in the real world -- has emerged as the next major frontier for AI, echoed by industry leaders such as Jensen Huang (``the next big thing is Physical AI, AI with a body,'' GTC Paris, June 2025) and Dr.

Schema-Aware Localisation (SAL): Live Schema Grounding and Hallucination Validation for Oracle NL2SQL

arXiv:2607. 22572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can generate fluent SQL from natural language, but on real enterprise Oracle databases they frequently fail at execution time: columns and aliases are hallucinated and dialect-specific syntax is missed, leading to ORA-00904 invalid-identifier errors.

A didactical-driven teacher assistant for a dimensional modeling course

arXiv:2607. 22598v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Educational chatbots powered by large language models (LLMs) show promising effects on learning outcomes, yet most systems delegate pedagogical decisions such as content selection and didactic structuring implicitly to the LLM, making tutoring strategies difficult to trace, evaluate, and reproduce.

ClinFusion: A Vision-Centric Multimodal LLM System for Holistic Medical Understanding

arXiv:2607. 24743v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) hold immense potential to revolutionize clinical practice, yet deploying them in the medical domain is fundamentally a vision-centric challenge: models must absorb knowledge from heterogeneous 2D and 3D medical images, and evaluation protocols must align with radiologists' clinical practice and provide an accurate, fine-grained and factualness-driven assessment.
