CARPRT: Class-Aware Zero-Shot Prompt Reweighting for Black-Box Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2607. 14125v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs) enable zero-shot image classification by computing the similarity score between an image and textual descriptions, typically formed by inserting a class label (e.

SAGA: Scene-Aware, Goal-Evolving Agents for Long-Horizon Strategy Game Planning

arXiv:2606. 29932v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Long-horizon strategic planning in complex strategy games requires coordinating tightly coupled decision domains, including technology, economy, diplomacy, and military, across hundreds of turns under imperfect information.

MM-IssueLoc: A Controlled Benchmark for Evaluating Visual Evidence in Multimodal Repository-Level Issue Localization

arXiv:2607. 15205v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real repository issues routinely include visual evidence such as screenshots, error dialogs, rendered UI states, and logs, yet repository-level issue localization is evaluated mostly as a text-only task.

Answer-Conditioned Chains of Thought Degrade Verifiable-Reasoning Distillation in Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 14552v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A standard recipe for distilling the reasoning ability of large language models (LLMs) is to sample chains of thought from the model, keep those that reach the correct final answer, and fine-tune on the survivors.

Addressing Benchmarking Gaps in Large Language Models for Health and Medicine with Dynamic Red-Teaming

arXiv:2508. 00923v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to answer health-related questions and support healthcare workflows, yet evidence for their safety still relies heavily on static benchmarks that can rapidly become obsolete or be optimized against.

Polestar: Drift-Aware Cache Calibration and Token Commitment for Efficient Inference of Diffusion LLMs

arXiv:2607. 14107v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The inference efficiency of diffusion large language models (dLLMs) is constrained by two challenges: bidirectional attention precludes efficient KV-cache reuse, while increasing decoding parallelism with static confidence thresholds can compromise generation quality.

Token Time Continuous Diffusion for Language Modeling

arXiv:2607. 14106v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper we introduce token time continuous diffusion (TTCD), a new diffusion language model which (a) operates in continuous space, deterministically mapping Gaussian noise to a final token canvas with no further sampling, and crucially (b) incorporates a new notion of per-token times, with some tokens proceeding from noise to token at a faster rate than others.
