DeltaFlow: Noise-Adaptive Bidirectional Gated Delta Networks for Embedded Language Flows

Embedded Language Flows (ELF) rely primarily on full non-causal attention for iterative denoising, repeatedly incurring quadratic sequence-mixing cost at each sampling step. Gated Delta Networks (GDNs) provide an efficient recurrent alternative, but their standard causal formulation cannot directly capture the bidirectional context required by ELF.

Fruit-HSNet: A Machine Learning Approach for Hyperspectral Image-Based Fruit Ripeness Prediction

Fruit ripeness prediction (FRP) is a classification-based agricultural computer vision task that has attracted much attention, thanks to its wide-ranging advantages in agriculture field for both pre-harvest and post-harvest management. Accurate and timely FRP can be achieved using machine/deep learning-based hyperspectral image classification techniques.

Control Under Compression: Reliability Frontiers for Tool-Using Agents

Tool-using language-model agents are governed not only by task prompts but also by persistent system-side instructions that specify tools, arguments, policies, execution protocols, and recovery. Compressing these agent control contexts (ACCs) can reduce input cost and context use, yet existing prompt-compression evaluations do not reveal whether the resulting control remains operationally reliable.

Probing the Origins of Reasoning Performance: Representational Quality for Mathematical Problem-Solving in RL vs. SFT Fine-Tuned Models

arXiv:2607. 26119v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large reasoning models trained via reinforcement learning (RL) have been increasingly shown to outperform their supervised fine-tuned (SFT) counterparts on mathematical reasoning tasks; Yet the mechanistic basis for this advantage remains unclear.

GoGoTB: Agentic RTL Verification with Specification-Grounded Coverage Closure

arXiv:2607. 26181v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Functional verification dominates integrated circuit (IC) front-end engineering effort, and a single missed bug that escapes to silicon can trigger a costly respin.

TraceCoder: Explainable and Auditable Code Generation with Position-Key Snippet Versioning

arXiv:2607. 26307v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contemporary LLM-based coding agents produce code as black-box outputs: the rationale behind each line is hidden, the evolution of the code through benchmark-driven repair is ephemeral, and post-hoc auditing is impossible.
