CADFit: Precise Mesh-to-CAD Program Generation with Hybrid Optimization

arXiv:2605. 01171v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite recent progress, recovering parametric CAD construction sequences from geometric input, such as meshes or point clouds, is a key challenge for design and manufacturing, as existing CAD reconstruction and generation methods are largely restricted to difficult-to-edit formats like meshes or Breps or editable simple sketch-and-extrude pipelines and low-complexity datasets.

Spectral-Progressive Thought Flow for Lightweight Multimodal Reasoning

arXiv:2606. 02842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal spatial reasoning often relies on long chains of intermediate textual and visual thoughts, where accumulating visual tokens and dense cross-modal attention incur substantial computation and memory overhead.

Entropy Is Not Enough: Unlocking Effective Reinforcement Learning for Visual Reasoning via Vision-Anchored Token Selection

arXiv:2606. 03937v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While token-level entropy is commonly recognized as effective for credit assignment in text-only reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), it remains unclear whether this mechanism still holds in visual reasoning.

TASTE: A Designer-Annotated Multi-Dimensional Preference Dataset for AI-Generated Graphic Design

arXiv:2605. 20731v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Text-to-image models now generate graphic design at production scale, yet their supervision still comes primarily from photo-style preference datasets with a single overall verdict per comparison.
