Visual Grounding in Zero-Shot Vision-Language Control

arXiv:2608. 06154v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used as zero-shot controllers, but successful trajectories do not necessarily show that decisions are grounded in visual input: simulator dynamics and conservative action priors can produce favourable scores without meaningful perception.

Tytan: Interactive Neurosymbolic Construction of Analytic Semantic Schemas from Relational Data

arXiv:2608. 06331v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: From natural-language query interfaces to automated report generation, data analysis tools need a description of the data: the real-world entities it contains, which columns function as measures or identifiers, and how tables connect into units of analysis.
