Lifelong Representations: A Survey on Continual Self-Supervised Learning for Vision Models

arXiv:2607. 09785v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditionally, continual learning has assumed access to labeled data, yet many real-world applications -- such as lifelong robotics -- require models to adapt continuously from unlabeled streams.

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.

An LLM-powered Agentic Recommendation System for Connected TV Content Discovery

arXiv:2607. 09988v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recommendation systems, from traditional multi-stage to recent unified generative architectures, face challenges in incorporating diverse contextual signals, such as trending topics, breaking news, cultural events, and cross-surface user activities, into their ranking pipelines.
