arXiv:2606. 32002v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models are increasingly taught from synthetic question--answer (QA) supervision: a model generates questions about a document, answers them from the same text, and the resulting pairs are used to fine-tune, distill, or compress knowledge into another model.

arXiv:2606. 31200v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalizable robotic grasping in cluttered environments is essential for deploying manipulators in unstructured human spaces, yet existing VLM-based methods rely on visual similarity for object matching, neglecting physical affordances such as handle graspability and material fragility, and operate open-loop without spatial reasoning or failure recovery, limiting their effectiveness when objects are densely packed or physically diverse.

arXiv:2606. 31159v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming software development, yet their use in security-critical contexts raises a key question: do models know when their generated code is insecure?

arXiv:2606. 31591v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emergent misalignment (EM) is a recently discovered phenomenon in LLMs where fine-tuning on a narrow misaligned task, such as writing insecure code, leads to broadly misaligned behaviour on unrelated prompts.

arXiv:2606. 31745v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Remote sensing change detection (CD) traditionally focuses on pixel-level binary segmentation, which identifies where changes occur but neither what nor why.

arXiv:2606. 30877v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent literature shows that large language models (LLMs) are useful for general-purpose tasks yet perform poorly on specific domain ones.
