SAB-LVLM: Significance-Aware Binarization for Large Vision-Language Models

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in multimodal understanding, yet their enormous parameter scale and cross-modal computation incur substantial memory and latency overhead, severely limiting real-world deployment on resource-constrained devices. Binarization offers an attractive solution by drastically reducing storage and computational costs.

Safety Targeted Embedding Exploit via Refinement

Safety training for large language models (LLMs) is conducted predominantly in English, leaving uncertain how well safety mechanisms generalize to low-resource languages and mixed-language code-switching. We show that this creates an epistemic gap in which models confidently generate harmful responses for inputs that fall outside the distribution of their safety training.

Evaluating Chunking Strategies for Retrieval-Augmented Generation on Academic Texts

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems use the question-answering capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) to access information outside their parameters. We evaluate if cluster-based semantic chunking improves retrieval and answer quality compared to fixed-size and recursive chunking evaluating on long, structured academic theses using the Retrieval Augmented Generation Assessment (RAGAs) framework.

Geometric Foundation Model Distillation for Efficient Lunar 3D Reconstruction

Large 3D foundation models such as MASt3R achieve state-of-the-art stereo reconstruction but are computationally demanding for deployment under strict hardware constraints -- a critical limitation in domains such as planetary exploration, where onboard computing is severely restricted. We study how far such models can be compressed through knowledge distillation, using lunar stereo reconstruction as a challenging and practically relevant case study.

Many Voices, One Reward: Multi-Role Rubric Generation for LLM Judging and Reward Modeling

Reliable reward and preference signals are critical for evaluating and optimizing large language models on open-ended tasks. Rubric-based judges offer a transparent way to decompose such judgments into explicit evaluation criteria, but existing annotation-free rubric generators typically rely on a single generic evaluator.

PARTREP: Learning What to Repeat for Decoder-only LLMs

While decoder-only LLMs excel at a vast array of natural language tasks, it suffers from an asymmetric information flow induced by causal attention: later tokens are richer in contextual grounding than earlier ones. A simple and effective remedy is prompt repetition -- just appending a second copy of prompt before generation can redistribute grounding across positions and improve reasoning performance.

SimWorlds: A Multi-Agent System for Dynamic 3D Scene Creation

LLM agents are increasingly used to translate natural language into 3D scenes in a procedural way, but existing systems focus on static output. Dynamic 4D scenes from text alone, in which liquids flow, particles emit, rigid bodies cascade, and articulated mechanisms move, remain largely unexplored despite their value as editable content and as physics-grounded training data for video generation and embodied AI.

InterCMDM: Block-Causal Diffusion for Autoregressive Human Interaction Generation

Text-conditioned human interaction generation must capture both long-range temporal causality within each individual and tightly coupled coordination between partners. Existing interaction diffusion models typically denoise full sequences using bidirectional attention, which obscures causality and hinders streaming and long-horizon generation.

ReQuest: Rethinking-based Question-Aware Frame Selection for Long-Form Video QA

Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have substantially advanced video understanding, yet long-form video QA remains challenging under fixed input token budgets, where uniform sampling can be inefficient for evidence localization. We propose ReQuest , an uncertainty-driven, question-adaptive keyframe selection pipeline that aligns question intent with relevant video content through selective computation.

Beyond Pixel Diffs: Benchmarking Image Change Captioning for Web UI Visual Regression Testing

Visual regression testing (VRT) is a standard quality assurance step in modern software release pipelines. On every change, it re-renders user interface (UI) screenshots, compares each one against an approved baseline image, and routes any detected difference to a human reviewer who decides whether it is an intended update or an unintended regression.

Generic Expert Coverage for Pruning SparseMixture-of-Experts Language Models

Sparsely activated Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models contain substantial structured redundancy among routed experts, but pruning them without downstream calibration data remains challenging. Existing expert-pruning methods typically rely on a single aggregated importance score, which can bias the retained set toward experts favored by dominant calibration patterns.

Information-Regularized Attention for Visual-Centric Reasoning

arXiv:2607. 00434v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have become a paradigm for multimodal learning, yet remain unstable due to object hallucination, weak visual grounding, and catastrophic forgetting after full-parameter instruction tuning.
