Leaderboards, eval harnesses and ablations — the contested business of deciding which model is actually better.
arXiv:2608. 03464v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made significant progress in chart understanding, generation, and editing, but their ability to annotate existing charts remains underexplored.
arXiv:2608. 03506v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-consistency assumes the most frequent answer among sampled reasoning traces is the most reliable, but this can fail in causal reasoning: samples often repeat the same confounding error, and votes fragment across multiple valid answers, letting an invalid answer win despite a valid minority trace.
arXiv:2608. 03585v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-source software communities are a form of digital public infrastructure that not only produces code, but also generates public knowledge and interpersonal relationships through visible collaboration.
arXiv:2608. 03689v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are increasingly capable of synthesizing executable frontend projects, yet existing benchmarks still treat web generation as a static evaluation problem.
arXiv:2608. 03682v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physical AI policies require inference throughout their lifecycle, including model evaluation, cloud reinforcement learning rollout, edge GPU serving, and onboard deployment.
arXiv:2608. 03744v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical decision support is moving toward committees of language-model agents deliberating on a shared workspace.
arXiv:2608. 03902v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Resource constraints on UAV platforms have driven a paradigm shift in aerial tracking, from pursuing performance toward balancing accuracy with efficiency.
arXiv:2608. 03972v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy training has emerged as a powerful post-training paradigm for improving the reasoning capabilities of large language models, and is often enhanced by golden trajectories from stronger expert models.
arXiv:2608. 02615v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cancer diagnosis and characterization require integrating complementary evidence from radiology, pathology, genomics, and clinical metadata.
arXiv:2608. 02636v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-evolving skill systems promise to improve agents by turning execution feedback into persistent skill updates without changing the underlying model.
arXiv:2608. 02643v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computer-use agents (CUAs) operate real desktop and web interfaces through screenshots, mouse and keyboard actions, and stateful UI feedback, yet their failures remain difficult to diagnose and repair.
arXiv:2608. 02642v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accelerating scientific discovery is among the most consequential applications of AI, and computational biomolecular simulation stands out as a particularly promising target within this broader effort.
arXiv:2608. 02641v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can translate natural-language optimization problems into solver-ready formulations, but direct code generation is brittle: schema, indexing, and semantic errors can cause compilation failures, infeasible models, or incorrect objectives, while iterative repair, search, and multi-agent workflows increase inference cost.
arXiv:2608. 02663v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate ICU mortality prediction requires modeling irregular clinical observations across heterogeneous entity types.
arXiv:2608. 02665v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A benchmark score is a measurement instrument, yet most benchmarks read each item at a single canonical surface form.
arXiv:2608. 02669v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Docker Hub is the registry underneath most container deployments, and a flaw in a widely reused base image is inherited by every image built on it.
arXiv:2608. 02680v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tool-using language-model agents repeatedly rediscover procedures they have already executed, producing traces that mix reusable structure with retries, exploration, accidental ordering, and repeated lookups.
arXiv:2608. 02685v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding-agent benchmarks increasingly cover long-horizon, end-to-end, and interactive development, but typically retain one requested outcome or a fixed change sequence.
arXiv:2608. 02712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Kernel generation for hardware accelerators such as GPUs and NPUs has become a proving ground for large language models (LLMs), and state-of-the-art systems raise correctness through pipelines that couple LLMs with agentic reinforcement learning and evolutionary search.
arXiv:2608. 02830v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many-shot in-context learning (ICL) lets vision-language models (VLMs) adapt from image--label demonstrations without weight updates, and is widely assumed to improve as more demonstrations are supplied.
