SearchEyes: Towards Frontier Multimodal Deep Search Intelligence via Search World Simulation

arXiv:2607. 05943v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training multimodal search agents to perform multi-hop reasoning remains challenging due to a fundamental structural disconnect: existing pipelines construct training data, search environments, and reward signals independently, causing synthesized structural metadata to be discarded, environments to rely on irreproducible external engines, and RL rewards to remain sparse at the trajectory level.

Platonic Representations for Poverty Mapping: Unified Vision-Language Codes or Agent-Induced Novelty?

arXiv:2508. 01109v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We investigate whether socioeconomic indicators, like household wealth, leave recoverable informational imprints in both satellite imagery (capturing features like buildings and roads) and Internet-sourced text (reflecting historical, cultural, and narratives of neighborhoods).

Harrison.Rad 1.5 Technical Report: A radiology foundation model that can draft reports from images, priors and clinical context

arXiv:2607. 05880v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Imaging demand is growing faster than the radiology workforce can expand, and reporting backlogs cannot be resolved through training and recruitment alone.

PoseVLA: Universal Pose Pretraining for Generalizable Vision-Language-Action Policies

arXiv:2602. 19710v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models often suffer from feature collapse and low training efficiency because they entangle high-level perception with sparse, embodiment-specific action supervision.

Multimodal Molecular Representation Learning with Graph Neural Networks, Deep & Cross Networks, and SMILES Embeddings

arXiv:2607. 05736v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Molecular property prediction often relies on isolated data modalities, where continuous 3D graph neural networks (GNNs) struggle to efficiently capture long-range topological dependencies and exact macroscopic heuristics.

Vision as Unified Multimodal Generation

We formulate computer vision as unified multimodal generation, where heterogeneous visual tasks are expressed in the native text and image generation spaces of a unified multimodal model, without task-specific architectures. Under this formulation, SenseNova-Vision uses natural-language instructions and optional visual prompts to specify tasks, target regions or views, and decoding conventions, and generates responses as text for symbolic outputs, images for dense spatial predictions, or mixed text-and-image outputs for compositional tasks.

AirflowAttack: Thermal-Airflow Adversarial Perturbations against Infrared Remote-Sensing Vision-Language Models

Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly deployed on infrared (IR) remote sensing imagery in security-critical settings, yet their adversarial robustness remains unexamined. We present AirflowAttack, to our knowledge the first adversarial attack for IR remote-sensing VLMs and the first to weaponize thermal-airflow turbulence as the perturbation prior.
