arXiv:2607. 17779v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-Image (T2I) generative models have achieved remarkable progress in synthesizing high-quality visual content, yet they remain vulnerable to adversarial misuse, particularly in generating Not-Safe-For-Work (NSFW) images.

arXiv:2607. 16617v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to automate data-processing workflows, yet coding agents typically produce scripts that are not automatically materialized as persistent, editable platform artifacts.

arXiv:2607. 16514v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image-based dietary assessment promises to replace costly, bias-prone manual recalls, but portion estimation remains a major blocker.

arXiv:2607. 17806v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) requires an embodied agent to interpret a natural-language instruction and predict actions from temporally ordered visual observations.

arXiv:2607. 16262v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The acceleration of automated scientific discovery has been fundamentally bottlenecked by the epistemic gap between the semantic reasoning of large language models (LLMs) and the deterministic physics of mammalian biology.

arXiv:2607. 05690v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Language agents run a loop - observe, reason, act - but the memory they reason over sits outside it: a store queried at most once per turn.

arXiv:2607. 17890v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Concept erasure aims to remove semantic concepts from a trained generative model and is increasingly important for responsible AI deployment.

arXiv:2607. 18084v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predicting a football match before kickoff requires more than knowing past results: a model must use changing information and make a clear prediction before the answer is available.

arXiv:2607. 16345v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern agentic systems increasingly rely on skills: installable packages of natural language and code that teach an LLM agent to perform a domain task.

arXiv:2607. 17575v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose ARBITER, a novel LLM guardrail framework that introduces two key ideas: (i) dual-hypothesis reasoning, a reasoning method for LLM guardrails that explicitly considers both safe and unsafe interpretations of a prompt before making a safety decision, and (ii) multi-component supervised fine-tuning (MC-SFT), a structured training loss for reasoning-based guardrails that decomposes LLM outputs into logical components and weights them according to their importance.

arXiv:2607. 16448v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Interpretability methods for neural network activations span a wide cost spectrum, from cheap, training-free techniques (such as linear probes, PCA, SVD) to more expensive training-based ones (such as SAEs and activation oracles).

arXiv:2607. 17531v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Test-time collaboration, including self-consistency, best-of-N selection, critic models, and verifier pipelines, is often credited with broadly improving LLM reasoning, yet its gains are uneven and sometimes negative.

arXiv:2607. 17598v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-document question answering usually forces a choice between loading the whole document into the context window and bolting on a separate retriever.
