Echoverse: Deep, Evolving Environments for Training Computer-Use Agents at Scale

arXiv:2607. 28074v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computer-use agents learn from what their actions change, so training one needs applications it can act on, break and reset.

Bridging AI and Energy Forecasting: An Autonomous Workflow with Customized Toolkit

arXiv:2307. 07191v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Energy forecasting is crucial for the power grid, but fundamentally different from general time series analysis: it highly relies on covariates like meteorological factors, and its goals must align with actual power grid operations, such as risk assessment and system reliability.

SNAC-Pack 2.0: Scaled-Out Surrogate Neural Architecture Codesign

arXiv:2605. 16138v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Neural architecture search (NAS) is a powerful approach for automating model design, but existing methods often optimize for accuracy alone or rely on proxy metrics such as bit operations (BOPs) that correlate poorly with hardware cost.

Continual Learning for VLMs: A Survey and Taxonomy Beyond Forgetting

arXiv:2508. 04227v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs), spanning predictive architectures to generative Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), have revolutionized artificial intelligence through powerful cross-modal alignment and zero-shot generalization.

Graph Is the Verifier: Agentic Reinforcement Learning for Interprocedural Vulnerability Detection

arXiv:2607. 26656v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world vulnerabilities often span multiple functions, yet most learning-based detectors classify each function in isolation: on a sample of real CVEs, we find that 71.

Facial-Expression-Aware Prompting for Empathetic LLM Tutoring

arXiv:2604. 15336v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) enable increasingly capable tutoring-style conversational agents, yet effective tutoring requires sensitivity to learners' affective and cognitive states beyond text alone.

LEDGERMIND: Provenance-Constrained Multimodal Agentic Reasoning with a Structured Evidence Ledger

arXiv:2607. 28374v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal agents for visual question answering increasingly operate as multi-step trajectories that interleave perception, retrieval, and reasoning, yet evaluation still largely reduces to final-answer accuracy.
