MatterDoor: Sampling Zero-shot Spatio-semantic Priors using Generative Models

arXiv:2510. 11014v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous robots often view rooms only partially, through a doorway, where the walls and scene structure hide the geometry and task-relevant semantics needed for safe navigation and goal-directed action.

Image Generators are Generalist Vision Learners

arXiv:2604. 20329v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent works show that image and video generators exhibit zero-shot visual understanding behaviors, in a way reminiscent of how LLMs develop emergent capabilities of language understanding and reasoning from generative pretraining.

Towards Generalization of Block Attention via Automatic Segmentation and Block Distillation

arXiv:2605. 15913v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Block attention, which processes the input as separate blocks that cannot attend to one another, offers significant potential to improve KV cache reuse in long-context scenarios such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

Is Diversity All You Need for Scalable Robotic Manipulation?

arXiv:2507. 06219v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Data scaling has driven remarkable success in foundation models for Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV), yet the principles of effective data scaling in robotic manipulation remain insufficiently understood.

On the training of physics-informed neural operators for solving parametric partial differential equations

arXiv:2606. 06164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-informed neural operators (PINOs) aim to learn solution operators for partial differential equations by using the governing physics as supervision, rather than relying solely on paired input-output simulation data.
