Conditional Clifford-Steerable CNNs for PDE Modeling

arXiv:2510. 14007v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Conditional Clifford-Steerable CNNs (C-CSCNNs), a unified framework that incorporates equivariance to arbitrary pseudo-Euclidean groups and significantly improves the expressivity of standard CSCNNs.

Reward-Gated On-Policy Distillation

arXiv:2607. 04037v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation is a powerful way to transfer reasoning ability from a strong teacher to a smaller student: the student samples trajectories from its own policy, and the teacher provides dense token-level supervision on the states the student actually visits.

Code Benchmarks Should Prioritize Rigor, Reliability, and Reproducibility

arXiv:2501. 10711v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Code-related benchmarks play a critical role in evaluating large language models (LLMs), yet their quality fundamentally shapes how the community interprets model capabilities.

Panorama: Fast-Track Nearest Neighbors

arXiv:2510. 00566v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Approximate Nearest-Neighbor Search (ANNS) pipelines for high-dimensional neural embeddings spend the bulk of their query time in candidate verification, making it the primary bottleneck in the search process.

MambaLIE: Scene Light Intensity-Boosted Low-Light Image Enhancement with State Space Model

arXiv:2607. 03013v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Images captured by consumer electronic devices, such as mobile phones and digital cameras, often suffer from low-light degradation due to sensor limitations and imaging pipelines, which degrades visual quality and affects downstream vision tasks.
