Do We Really Need Multimodal Emotion Language Models Larger Than 1B Parameters?

arXiv:2607. 12787v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have significantly improved the performance of multimodal emotion recognition (MER) and enabled interpretable description generation by jointly modeling video, audio, and language, etc.

Cost-Governed RAG: Unified Per-Tenant Cost Attribution Across Retrieval and Generation in Multi-Tenant LLM Systems

arXiv:2607. 12188v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) deployments face a critical governance gap: while LLM generation cost is metered per token, the retrieval layer - vector memory, similarity compute, and embedding API calls - remains an unattributed shared cost, enabling invisible cross-subsidization among tenants.

Hallo4D: Multi-Modal Hallucination Mitigation for Consistent Spatio-Temporal Generation

arXiv:2607. 12752v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While recent advances in 3D generation have enabled impressive visual synthesis, existing methods often rely on 2D diffusion supervision without explicit mechanisms for geometric consistency, leading to spatial hallucinations such as duplicated structures and misaligned geometry.

Do We Really Need Multimodal Emotion Language Models Larger Than 1B Parameters?

Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have significantly improved the performance of multimodal emotion recognition (MER) and enabled interpretable description generation by jointly modeling video, audio, and language, etc. However, these performance improvements are often accompanied by an increase in model parameter size (e.

Lightweight Multi-Scale Anomaly Detection for Resource-Constrained Edge Devices

Time-series anomaly detection is increasingly important in IoT systems, sensor networks, and edge monitoring applications, where models must operate under strict constraints on memory, latency, and power consumption. While recent deep-learning approaches have improved detection accuracy, many remain computationally expensive and often fail to capture subtle anomalies due to limited multi-scale sensitivity.

Differentiable Clone-Structured Causal Graphs for End-to-End Cognitive Map Learning from Image Sequences

How can an agent build a structured map of its world from nothing but an ongoing sequence of raw sensory input and its own movements, especially when natural variation means exact sensory patterns rarely repeat? The Clone-Structured Causal Graph algorithm (CSCG), a normative hippocampus model, shows how an interpretable map can be learned from aliased observations.

Can Argus Judge Them All? Comparing VLMs Across Domains

arXiv:2507. 01042v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly used in industry VLM applications such as retrieval systems, content generation platforms, and decision-support workflows, where model selection is commonly guided by benchmark rankings.

Maximizing Human Efficiency in Large-Scale Robot Post-Training via VLAC-Cut Guided Pipeline

arXiv:2607. 09776v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When adapting Vision Language Action (VLA) models to downstream tasks, multiple rounds of post training are required because a single round of data cannot resolve all issues, making continuous iterations necessary to progressively address the weaknesses exposed in previous rounds.
