Plan, Watch, Recover: A Benchmark and Architectures for Proactive Procedural Assistance

arXiv:2606. 04970v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We envision a proactive multi-modal assistant system which gives users real-time step-by-step guidance on a procedural task, autonomously deciding \textit{when} to interrupt, and \textit{how} to coach.

POLARIS: Guiding Small Models to Write Long Stories

arXiv:2606. 04095v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Small open-weight models struggle at long-form creative writing: their generated stories either fall far short of the requested length, or their quality significantly degrades as length increases, especially when compared to frontier models.

SoLoPO: Unlocking Long-Context Capabilities in LLMs via Short-to-Long Preference Optimization

arXiv:2505. 11166v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite advances in pretraining with extended context sizes, large language models (LLMs) still face challenges in effectively utilizing real-world long-context information, primarily due to insufficient long-context alignment caused by data quality issues, training inefficiencies, and the lack of well-designed optimization objectives.

From Segments to Scenes: Temporal Understanding for Agentic Autonomous Driving via Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2512. 05277v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed as the perception and reasoning backbone of autonomous agents acting in the wild, with autonomous driving (AD) being one of the most safety-critical instances.

VAMPS: Visual-Assisted Mathematical Problem Solving Benchmark

arXiv:2606. 04244v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models are increasingly capable of complex reasoning, yet their performance often degrades when they must externalize a problem through a tool and then reason over the tool's output, specifically when they rely on visual aids.
