Predicting Therapeutic Outcome via Aligning Patient-Specific Knowledge Graph and Gene-Level Perturbation Representations

arXiv:2607. 04557v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate prediction of patient-specific therapeutic response from pre-treatment transcriptomes is hindered by the scarcity of matched clinical response labels and post-treatment molecular profiles.

Amortising Bayesian Experimental Design for Sequential Information Gathering in LLMs

arXiv:2607. 03426v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong reasoning and world-knowledge capabilities, yet often struggle to gather information effectively across the multi-turn interactions required in sequential decision-making settings.

MetricAnything: Scaling Metric Depth Pretraining with Noisy Heterogeneous Sources

arXiv:2601. 22054v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling has powered recent advances in vision foundation models, yet extending this paradigm to metric depth estimation remains challenging due to heterogeneous sensor noise, camera-dependent biases, and metric ambiguity in noisy cross-source 3D data.

OmniFocus: Query-Guided Modality-Balanced Token Compression for Omni-Modal Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 03050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Omni modal large language models (OmniLLMs) have attracted wide attention for their ability to jointly process audio and video, but they generate large token sequences under audio-visual inputs, leading to substantial inference cost.

XS-VLA: Coupling Coarse-grained Spatial Distillation with Latent Flow Matching for Lightweight Robotic Control

arXiv:2607. 04171v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have shown strong multimodal understanding and spatial grounding, but their computational cost limits real-time robotic control.

RUFNet: Query-Guided Support Mask Refinement and Uncertainty Fusion based on Hybrid Mamba for Few-Shot Brain Tumor Segmentation

arXiv:2607. 05035v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Few-shot brain tumor segmentation remains challenging due to noisy support masks, inter-patient variations between support and query images, and the lack of pixel-wise confidence estimation.

Metronome: Bound the Cache, Keep the Beat for Real-Time Interaction Model Serving

arXiv:2607. 02640v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time interaction models -- Moshi, MiniCPM-o, Qwen-Omni -- turn serving into a periodic real-time task: on every frame a session ingests streaming audio and must respond by a recurring wall-clock deadline, while its KV cache grows monotonically and stays pinned for the whole conversation.

RES-DARE: Failure-Aware Expert Adaptation and Rollback-Safe Self-Repair for Intrusion Detection

arXiv:2607. 02687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intrusion detection systems are often trained under static benchmark conditions, although deployed network environments are affected by traffic drift, sensor noise, changing workloads, and evolving attack behaviour.
