AVA-VLA: Improving Vision-Language-Action models with Active Visual Attention

arXiv:2511. 18960v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown remarkable progress in embodied tasks recently, but most methods process visual observations independently at each timestep.

DualGauge: Automated Joint Security-Functionality Benchmarking of Specification-Only Code Generation by LLMs and Coding Agents

arXiv:2511. 20709v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) and LLM-based coding agents are now used to generate code from natural-language specifications, yet ensuring such code is both functionally correct and secure remains a challenge.

Lesion-DDPM: Lesion-Enhanced 3D Diffusion for MS MRI Synthesis

arXiv:2606. 15457v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D FLAIR MRI is widely recommended as one of the standard MRI sequences for brain imaging in multiple sclerosis (MS), but publicly available MS datasets remain relatively small and vary across scanners, acquisition protocols, and lesion patterns.

Trust-Region Diffusion Policies for Massively Parallel On-Policy RL

arXiv:2606. 15260v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning with massively parallel simulations has become a standard framework for developing robust, deployable policies; however, most existing approaches still rely on simple Gaussian policy parameterizations.
