Model releases, architecture work and prompting research on large language models — from frontier-lab announcements to the arXiv papers behind them.
Unified image restoration (UIR) aims to recover high-quality (HQ) content from low-quality (LQ) images with different degradations using a single model. Most recent methods adapt large pretrained text-to-image (T2I) latent diffusion models for their strong capacity and generative priors.
For years, web agents have worked one click at a time—and often fallen apart on long tasks. Microsoft Research’s Webwright makes a different bet: give the model a terminal and let it write the program instead.
Despite progress in instruction-based video editing, unimodal textual instructions inherently struggle to convey fine-grained textures and complex dynamics. To bridge this perceptual gap, we propose Visual In-context Editing, a new paradigm elevating video editing from textual instructions to multi-modal visual guidance encompassing single image, image pair, and video pair.
Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in code generation, yet ensuring correctness in complex, repository-level tasks remains challenging. Existing approaches often use generated tests as static post-hoc validators, which limits their ability to guide implementation and may introduce misleading feedback when the tests themselves are incomplete or incorrect.
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit sycophancy, a tendency to agree with user beliefs regardless of factual accuracy. This can reinforce misconceptions, but eliminating it entirely risks over-correction against valid opinions.
On-policy distillation (OPD) transfers teacher capabilities by supervising trajectories sampled from the student's own policy, yet its generalization behavior remains poorly understood, as most studies evaluate OPD on a single domain and on benchmarks close to the training data. We present a controlled study that varies one generalization factor at a time, from in-domain distribution shifts to cross-domain transfer and the multi-teacher setting.
Can a language model recover the true research idea of a published paper when given only that paper's pre-publication bibliography? We introduce Reconstruction, a blind idea-recovery benchmark that withholds the seed paper and all contemporaneous or future literature, and asks models to propose hypotheses that an independent large language model judge matches against the held-out ground-truth idea.
Automated detection of errors in clinical documentation is a promising application of large language models (LLMs), yet decisions to deploy such models rest on benchmarks that evaluate each clinical note in isolation. Error-detection benchmarks are typically constructed by injecting errors into notes, such that each erroneous note has a natural counterpart.
Video Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) spend most of their compute inside the Self-Attention operation, whose cost grows quadratically, $\mathcal{O}(n^2)$, with the number of latent tokens $n$. For the task of video generation, the token count is large, so this term dominates runtime and memory, and thereby caps the resolution and duration we can generate.

Remote-sensing systems usually describe urban content with detection boxes, semantic masks, or vector boundaries. Such outputs locate classes and support image-plane scoring, yet they do not by themselves constitute an executable layout that retains object identities, typed relations, topology, and regeneration rules.
AI-RAN brings large language model (LLM) serving close to mobile users, but cellular handover can separate an active request from its inference state: the user attaches to a target base station (gNB) while the large and growing key-value (KV) cache remains at the source. Retaining inference at the source preserves service continuity but persistently increases inter-token latency (ITL), whereas recovering the state at the target restores serving locality but requires KV-cache transfer, recomputation, or a combination of both only after handover, directly prolonging service interruption time (SIT).
Long-horizon embodied tasks require LLM agents to iteratively decompose high-level goals, revise plans in response to environmental feedback, and ground leaf-level subgoals into valid executable actions. Recursive context-management methods such as ReCAP improve planning stability through multi-level task decomposition and parent-node refinement, but still repeatedly invoke the LLM at leaf nodes to ground atomic subtasks into exact valid actions.
Indic quality estimation (QE) and automatic post-editing (APE) data is spread across separate releases, so no single resource supports training and evaluation across tasks and language pairs on one footing. We consolidate the WMT 2020--2024 shared-task lineage with an extended English--Malayalam resource into \indicqe: $126{,}754$ instances over nine directional pairs, with up to four label types aligned on the same segment, a direct assessment, a human post-edit, word-level OK/BAD tags and an error explanation, and a test set stratified over four difficulty axes.
Cross-border e-commerce image translation is essential for global retail, where product images, banners, and detail pages need to be produced in different languages. Existing methods struggle to achieve accurate translation, faithful visual identity preservation, and easy-to-edit outputs, simultaneously.
Positional encoding is a fundamental component of Transformer-based generative recommendation models, where user histories are modeled as autoregressive item sequences. Most positional encoding methods are inherited from natural language processing and mainly represent discrete item order.
Existing speech retrieval systems rely on fixed similarity matching and cannot adapt to diverse user intents. We introduce INSPIRE, the first benchmark for instruction-aware speech retrieval, in which natural-language instructions dynamically specify relevance criteria, including semantic content, speaker identity, speaking style, environmental sounds, and their combinations.
LLM agents increasingly answer questions over dynamic raw-document collections, where files may change before preprocessing, and relevant evidence (spans, sections, pages, or tables) is query-dependent. Existing retrieval-augmented approaches pre-materialize evidence via fixed chunking, embeddings, or persistent indexes: effective for lookup, yet costly, stale-prone, and committed to a granularity before the query is known.
arXiv:2608. 13787v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents increasingly act on their users' behalf, handling tasks such as scheduling meetings, comparing offers, and haggling over prices.
arXiv:2608. 14290v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce Mobius-v0, an architecture that comprises a globally shared Memory (FFN) that stores knowledge vectors and multiple Reasoners (Self-Attn) that iteratively achieve compositional reasoning.
