Model releases, architecture work and prompting research on large language models — from frontier-lab announcements to the arXiv papers behind them.
Large language models (LLMs) can assist GPU kernel generation, but their practical effectiveness depends on whether generated code can be reliably constrained, validated, profiled, and selected. This paper presents a harness-centered system for LLM-driven GPU kernel optimization in the MLSys 2026 FlashInfer AI Kernel Generation Contest on NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs.
Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle to navigate value conflicts when trained with the compressed scalar rewards of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). To address this challenge, we investigate how chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning can help improve performance in this domain.
LLM-based autonomous agents require external memory to overcome their statelessness and limited context window for long-term interaction and dynamic knowledge reasoning. However, existing memory retrieval methods often lack adaptability and sample efficiency, and struggle to retrieve the right mixture of memories from heterogeneous stores.
Despite the growing availability of customizable social artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT, Grok, and Character. ai, we know little about how users actively shape social AI to reflect their personal preferences.
Training-free few-shot adaptation methods have gained significant attention recently in the context of Vision-language Models (VLMs). Yet, current benchmarks rely on strong assumptions about the statistics of the adaptation data, e.
Projector-camera (ProCams) systems achieve active scene perception and controllable appearance manipulation via structured illumination, serving as a core infrastructure for spatial augmented reality, projection mapping, and surface reflectance acquisition. Existing inverse-rendering methods for ProCams deliver high-fidelity results but rely on time-consuming per-scene optimization, while mainstream feed-forward 3D reconstruction models produce baked appearance that cannot adapt to spatially varying projector illumination.
Egocentric devices, such as wearable front-facing cameras, provide a unique perspective for capturing the continuous interaction between a human viewer and the surrounding environment. A holistic and efficient multimodal model capable of reconstructing this 4D representation is therefore highly desirable.
In logistics automation, precise segmentation of unseen objects is crucial for efficient robotic manipulation in cluttered environments. Tasks such as bin-picking and shelf-picking require robust perception to handle occlusions, varying object shapes, and complex spatial arrangements.
User experience is a first-class objective in industrial e-commerce recommender systems (RS). Post-ranking strategies, which govern diversity, similarity, and exposure over a ranked list, are widely deployed in industrial RS for their simplicity and low serving cost.
Block-wise diffusion large language models (dLLMs) decode sequentially at the block level, enabling effective KV-cache reuse across blocks but making inter-block decoding strictly serial. Prior work has attempted to unlock inter-block parallelism through post-training methods, but achieves only modest speedups and often degrades accuracy.
Verify-repair loops are a standard means for large language model (LLM) agents to correct faulty plans in code generation, mathematical reasoning, and tool use. When both the verifier and the repairer are noisy, repair can damage already-correct plans, and reported acceptance keeps rising while true validity falls, so existing methods lack a principled basis for deciding when repair should stop.
Individuals with dysarthria face significant challenges in professional speaking scenarios such as conferences, presentations, and meetings, where real-time communication is crucial. While existing Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems provide basic support, they often fail to meet the demands of professional speaking environments due to high latency and unnatural speech patterns.
Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is a powerful reinforcement learning algorithm for aligning generative models with human preferences. While successful in large language models~\cite{shao2024deepseekmathpushinglimitsmathematical}, its extension to diffusion and flow matching models introduces a severe computational bottleneck: gradients must be back-propagated through the high-capacity DiT backbone at \emph{every} timestep of the sampling trajectory, making high-resolution text-to-image (T2I) training prohibitively expensive.
Structured pruning compresses large language models (LLMs) by removing whole computational units, such as attention heads and feed-forward (FFN) channel groups. Most training-free methods, however, rank these units independently, implicitly treating the loss from pruning a set as the sum of its individual losses.
Developers frequently write uninformative git commit messages such as "fix" or "update stuff", degrading the value of version-control history for code review, debugging, and onboarding. We present CommitLLM, a three-stage pipeline that generates concise, Conventional Commits-compliant messages from code diffs using a fine-tuned small language model.
Zero-shot text-guided editing of real-world music recordings requires balancing semantic modification with faithful preservation of the original musical structure. Although recent diffusion transformers trained with rectified flow have achieved remarkable success in text-to-music generation, extending them to edit existing recordings remains challenging because editing requires accurate deterministic inversion, reliable structural preservation, and numerically stable integration throughout the inversion and generation processes.

arXiv:2507. 14194v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper presents an integrative prognostic framework that combines Spatiotemporal Permutation Entropy (STPE), Boosted Enhanced Quantile Regression Neural Networks (B-EQRNNs), Gated Temporal Attention, a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) refinement stage, and a Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) classifier.
arXiv:2607. 15495v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Out of everything the human brain processes, only a small fraction is consciously accessible, in the sense of being available for verbal report, deliberate control, and flexible reasoning.
arXiv:2607. 14186v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Synthesizing training data to scale agent capabilities in LLM post-training is bottlenecked by substrate-bound task synthesis: tasks are generated from fixed tools, repositories, or skill graphs, so expanding coverage requires manual substrate engineering, transferring to a new domain demands bespoke infrastructure, and the resulting distributions inherit substrate biases rather than reflecting real-world demand.
