Learning Sampling Parameters for Diffusion Models

Text-to-image diffusion models expose many inference-time sampling parameters, including prompts, negative prompts, classifier-free guidance scales, and noise schedules. These parameters are typically manually chosen once and then held fixed across prompts and denoising timesteps, even though different prompts and stages of generation can benefit from different parameter values.

Synthetic Speech, Real Signal: Paralinguistic Preservation and Cross-Lingual Augmentation via Voice Cloning

Synthetic data augmentation in speech is common practice for linguistic tasks like ASR, but has seen far less work for paralinguistic ones, especially clinical tasks where labelled data is expensive and some patient groups are underrepresented. Voice cloning is one such augmentation approach, but is typically evaluated on speech intelligibility (WER) or speaker similarity (SS) rather than on downstream performance, and it remains unclear whether these preserve the paralinguistic signal such tasks depend on.

Visual Relocalization from Sparse Views in Aliased and Low-Texture Environments via Novel View Synthesis

Visual localization becomes extremely challenging in planetary-like terrains characterized by low texture, perceptual aliasing, harsh illumination, and sparse, weakly overlapping viewpoints induced by forward rover motion and unconstrained driving directions. Under these conditions, state-of-the-art image-to-image and image-to-map matching pipelines suffer significant performance degradation.

TOPReward: Token Probabilities as Hidden Zero-Shot Rewards for Robotics

arXiv:2602. 19313v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: General-purpose robot learning requires dense, instruction-conditioned feedback that can distinguish meaningful task progress from stalled, failed, or partially completed behavior.

Beyond Independent Optimization: Compression, MoE Routing, and Quantization Interactions in Multimodal Edge Intelligence

arXiv:2607. 20981v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient multimodal inference is increasingly constrained not only by model quality or FLOP count, but also by the cost of preserving, moving, routing, caching, and quantizing multimodal representations under latency, memory, and energy constraints.

Enhancing Explainable Cardiac Diagnosis with Guide-Grounded Multimodal LLMs

arXiv:2607. 20814v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a cornerstone of cardiac as- sessment, yet clinical deployment of deep learning models remains con- strained by limited interpretability and the hallucination risk of large language models (LLMs).

Beyond SBDD: Geometric Deep Learning in Polypharmacology and Multi-target Drug Design

arXiv:2607. 20550v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The traditional "one drug, one target" paradigm of structure-based drug design (SBDD) frequently proves inadequate for treating multifactorial diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, owing to compensatory signaling pathways and the emergence of drug resistance.

VPWEM: Non-Markovian Visuomotor Policy with Working and Episodic Memory

arXiv:2603. 04910v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Imitation learning from human demonstrations has achieved significant success in robotic control, yet most visuomotor policies still condition on single-step observations or short-context histories, making them struggle with non-Markovian tasks that require long-term memory.
