arXiv:2608. 05158v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In biological evolution, unconstrained mutation can lead to catastrophic outcomes: organisms may evolve enhanced capabilities while losing essential functions for survival.

arXiv:2608. 05163v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A common assumption holds that switching to a non-English language makes a multilingual RAG system easier to attack for personal information.
By Yanhang Li, Zhichao Fan, Zexin Zhuang
arXiv:2608. 05162v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pooling is a consequential but under-examined design choice in decoder-only concept representation work: practitioners must collapse token-level hidden states into a passage-level vector, yet no shared protocol exists for comparing this choice across concepts, models, and tasks.

arXiv:2608. 05195v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A natural language interface can be used to make cancer genomics databases easier to use, but even if a question is perfectly fluent, its scientific meaning can be ambiguous.

arXiv:2608. 05341v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for radiology report generation are typically trained on retrospective clinical reports, which suffer from omission noise: clinically present findings are left unreported due to the omission of subtle findings.
