Beyond Thresholds: A Quality-Aware Decision Intelligence Framework for Cold Chain IoT Systems

arXiv:2608. 15082v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cold chain logistics has advanced technologically, yet most deployed systems remain reactive monitors, not decision-making agents: thresholds trigger alerts, but nothing relates violations to cumulative product degradation or converts degradation signals into logistics decisions.

UI-Mate: Advancing Open-Weight Foundation GUI Agents with In-Context Demonstrations

arXiv:2608. 15930v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Foundation GUI agents can automate complex digital tasks, but deployment is hindered by scarce and biased training data, ambiguous prompts, and unreliable execution.

AstronOS: A Unified Execution Model and Runtime for Long-Horizon Agentic Systems

arXiv:2608. 16381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems often organize execution and state around a single conversation, model invocation, or agent instance, even when real work spans many calls and stages.

Hypergraph-based Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Incremental Refinement

arXiv:2608. 16628v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (M-RAG) systems are fundamentally limited by the binary connectivity paradigm of traditional simple graphs, which fails to capture the intricate, high-order correlations among heterogeneous entities, such as the N-ary relationships between a visual chart, its scattered textual descriptions, and underlying numerical data.

SMOPD: Selective Token-Entropy Masking for Dirty-History Multi-Turn On-Policy Self-Distillation

arXiv:2608. 14647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dirty-history rollouts make multi-turn on-policy self-distillation (OPSD) brittle: once a student emits an erroneous intermediate reply, later turns are conditioned on that reply, and uniform distillation can spend loss on tokens that carry little corrective signal.
