Dexterous Point Policy: Learning Point-based Dexterous Hand Policies from Human Demonstrations

arXiv:2606. 10614v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotic foundation models pre-trained on human demonstration videos have shown promise, but a significant embodiment gap remains when the resulting policies are deployed on real robots.

GCA Framework: A GCC Countries-Grounded Dataset and Agentic Pipeline for Climate Decision Support

arXiv:2604. 12306v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Climate decision-making in the GCC states increasingly demands systems that can translate heterogeneous scientific and policy evidence into actionable guidance, yet general-purpose large language models (LLMs) remain weak both in region-specific climate knowledge and grounded interaction with geospatial and forecasting tools.

PromptEmbedder: Efficient and Transferable Text Embedding via Dual-LLM Soft Prompting

arXiv:2605. 28066v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in text embedding, yet current adaptation methods like LoRA face significant bottlenecks in computational efficiency and cross-architecture transferability.

The Emergence of Reproducibility and Generalizability in Diffusion Models

arXiv:2310. 05264v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this work, we investigate an intriguing and prevalent phenomenon of diffusion models which we term as "consistent model reproducibility": given the same starting noise input and a deterministic sampler, different diffusion models often yield remarkably similar outputs.

A Source Domain is All You Need: Source-Only Cross-OS Transfer Learning for APT Anomaly Detection via Semantic Alignment and Optimal Transport

arXiv:2606. 10216v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are stealthy, multi-stage cyberattacks whose detection is difficult due to scarce labeled traces, severe class imbalance, and the challenge of generating realistic malicious behavior.

BiWM: Advancing Open-Source Interactive Video World Models with Bidirectional Autoregression

arXiv:2606. 10135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transitioning bidirectional video diffusion models into an autoregressive paradigm improves the interactivity of video world models, but existing causal pipelines need many stages (control fine-tuning, autoregressive training, causal initialization, few-step distillation) and still trail bidirectional models in quality due to error accumulation.
