CLAP: Direct VLM-to-VLA Adaptation via Language-Action Grounding

arXiv:2607. 08974v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action models (VLAs) inherit semantic capabilities from pretrained VLMs, yet large-scale post-training on robot data and architectural modifications can reshape the backbone so extensively that it becomes difficult to isolate what the VLM contributes to control.

ALICE: Learning a General-Purpose Pathology Foundation Model from Vision, Vision-Language, and Slide-Level Experts

arXiv:2607. 09526v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models are reshaping computational pathology, yet their capabilities remain shaped by pretraining objectives, data sources, and spatial scales, fragmenting complementary expertise across separate backbones.

3D-DefectBench: A Controlled Factorial Study of Vision-Language Model Evaluation Pipelines for Fine-Grained 3D Generation Defects

Automated evaluation is essential for scaling generative 3D systems, where exhaustive human review is costly and slow. However, the reliability of an automated judge depends on the entire evaluation pipeline, not only the underlying vision-language model (VLM), but also how assets are rendered, what visual evidence is provided, how the task is specified, and how human reference labels are constructed.

PolyInterview: An LLM-based Platform for Immersive Mock Interview Practice with Comprehensive Multimodal Assessment

Preparing for job interviews is important for securing desired positions, yet realistic practice remains difficult to access: real interviews are infrequent, expert mock coaching is costly, and self-practice offers neither adaptive dialogue nor structured assessment. Existing systems typically address only parts of this need through fixed question sequences, limited communication channels, or feedback with little supporting evidence.
