WuYuEval: A Multi-Level Benchmark for Large Language Models in Solid Waste Management

arXiv:2608. 07529v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as technical assistants, but their competence in solid waste management (SWM) remains difficult to assess because existing benchmarks emphasize general knowledge rather than professional decisions under engineering, environmental, and policy constraints.

NeuroPilot: An Agent-Driven Smart Pipeline for Processing, Quality Control, and Managing Neuroimages

arXiv:2608. 07541v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transforming raw neuroimage archives into analysis-ready derivatives relies on three brittle stages: data standardization, modality-specific preprocessing, and quality control (QC).

Not All Visual Tokens Are Equally Safe to Remove:Consequence-Sensitive Visual Token Compression

arXiv:2608. 09176v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual token compression for vision--language models (VLMs) has largely relied on criteria such as attention, redundancy, and uncertainty to maximize average accuracy under a fixed compute budget, implicitly assuming that all errors carry equal cost.

Beyond Solvability: Task Learnability as a Static Prior for LLM RL Post-Training

arXiv:2608. 09217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a central post-training paradigm for eliciting reasoning capabilities in large language models, yet uniform task sampling allocates compute without regard to differences in how tasks respond to optimization.

UniDFKD: A Unified Semantic Prior Framework for Architecture-Agnostic Data-Free Knowledge Distillation

arXiv:2608. 09287v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data-Free Knowledge Distillation (DFKD) transfers knowledge from a pretrained teacher model to a compact student model by synthesizing semantically informative data, eliminating the need for access to the original training dataset.

Build it, Break it, Repeat: Benchmarking and improving LLM-manipulated disinformation detection in social media posts

arXiv:2608. 09510v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Detecting machine-generated disinformation on social media is increasingly difficult as large language models (LLMs) make it easier to generate and rewrite misleading content at scale.

MADBench: A Benchmark for Modality-Aware Audio Deepfake Detection

arXiv:2608. 09593v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in speech synthesis and audio generation have made high-fidelity acoustic forgery low-cost and difficult to attribute, enabling a realistic attack scenario in which speech and background audio are independently manipulated over otherwise authentic video.
