Vision-language models, speech and cross-modal systems that read, look and listen in the same forward pass.
We present VectraYX-Vision-1B, a sub-2B vision-language model (VLM) for Spanish/LATAM cybersecurity imagery, coupling a frozen SigLIP-so400m encoder to a 1. 04B Spanish/LATAM security decoder via an MLP.
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has emerged as an effective approach for improving multimodal reasoning. However, most existing methods evaluate an entire response using a binary reward based only on final-answer correctness, thereby discarding the supervision available in intermediate reasoning steps.
arXiv:2608. 05381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) can process diverse sensory inputs, yet their reasoning remains heavily biased toward a dominant modality, resulting in brittle cross-modal reasoning.
arXiv:2608. 06110v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents ECHO (Enhanced Care \& Health Observer), a locally-deployable conversational health assistant for long-term chronic care management.
arXiv:2608. 05341v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for radiology report generation are typically trained on retrospective clinical reports, which suffer from omission noise: clinically present findings are left unreported due to the omission of subtle findings.
arXiv:2608. 05798v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent diffusion modeling (LDM), a prominent paradigm, utilizes tokenizers to map input signal to compressed representation.
arXiv:2608. 06130v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI agents performing cryptographic operations (signing Git commits, authenticating API calls, issuing certificates) currently store private keys in software-accessible locations: plaintext files, environment variables, or container memory.
arXiv:2608. 06165v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing audio-to-score (A2S) systems primarily focus on classical music, and the application to popular music remains underexplored.
arXiv:2608. 06012v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Search-agent rewards mix answer quality, citation grounding, tool cost, and anti-hacking terms; a high score therefore need not imply that cited evidence was retrieved, and added penalties can cancel.
arXiv:2608. 06122v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inspired by recent evidence that transformer architectures benefit from Self-PreTraining (SPT) on long-context benchmarks, we investigate whether similar gains extend to multimodal, multivariate, and even simple univariate medical time series.
arXiv:2506. 02260v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Wearable devices enable continuous multi-modal physiological and behavioral monitoring, yet analysis of these data streams faces fundamental challenges including the lack of gold-standard labels and incomplete sensor data.
arXiv:2608. 06270v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The "thinking-with-images" paradigm equips multimodal LLMs with active visual operations such as crop-and-zoom.
arXiv:2608. 06300v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic speaking assessment systems are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings to mark second language (L2) learners' speaking tests, making it critical to show that their scores depend on speaking proficiency rather than irrelevant speaker attributes such as first language (L1) or age.
arXiv:2608. 05954v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a powerful but far from easy-to-use technique for policy learning.
arXiv:2605. 16411v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Hallucination remains a fundamental challenge in vision-language models (VLMs), where autoregressive generation may produce linguistically plausible yet physically inconsistent or visually ungrounded responses due to likelihood maximization under joint probabilistic modeling.
arXiv:2607. 06420v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual counting is a fundamental pillar of multimodal intelligence, requiring a seamless integration of fine-grained grounding and spatial reasoning.
arXiv:2608. 05864v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are increasingly applied as autonomous decision-making agents.

arXiv:2608. 05896v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Beamforming plays a key role in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems.
arXiv:2608. 06023v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To address the limitations of video-based emotion recognition under ambiguous or socially masked behavioral cues, as well as the poor deployability of physiological signals, this paper proposes a reliability-aware physiology-to-video knowledge distillation framework, termed BioKD.
