From Structure to Synergy: A Survey of Vision-Language Perception Paradigm Evolution in Multimodal Large Language Models

arXiv:2606. 26196v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have recently made remarkable progress in unifying vision-language understanding and reasoning, especially following the introduction of models such as OpenAI's O-series and DeepSeek's R-series, which have driven a paradigm shift toward perception-centric intelligence.

Advancing Omnimodal Embodied Agents from Isolated Skills to Everyday Physical Autonomy

arXiv:2606. 27251v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Building persistent embodied agents in unstructured environments demands unified orchestration of heterogeneous tools spanning both cyber (APIs, IoT) and physical (manipulation, navigation) domains, coupled with autonomous recovery from physical failures that inevitably arise over extended operation.

From Clicks to Intent: Cross-Platform Session Embeddings with LLM-Distilled Taxonomy for Financial Services Recommendations

arXiv:2606. 26277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential user behavior modeling is widely adopted in industrial recommender systems; however, significant gaps remain in financial services, where pre-login web interactions and authenticated in-app experiences differ drastically.

SharQ: Bridging Activation Sparsity and FP4 Quantization for LLM Inference

arXiv:2606. 26587v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-bit floating-point formats and semi-structured sparsity are increasingly supported by modern accelerators, yet combining them for LLM activation compression remains challenging: activations contain input-dependent outliers that dominate block scales in FP4 quantization, and directly applying N:M sparsity masks discards moderate values, coupling sparsification loss with quantization error.

E-TTS: A New Embodied Test-Time Scaling Framework for Robotic Manipulation

Recently, a few works have made early attempts to study test-time scaling for embodied tasks. However, two major challenges remain unsolved: (1) reasoning can effectively improve the performance of the policy, but its scaling mechanism has seldom been studied; (2) historical information is essential, as embodied tasks are inherently long-horizon and sequential, making sole reliance on current observations for action scaling inadequate due to the lack of historical context utilization.

Advancing Omnimodal Embodied Agents from Isolated Skills to Everyday Physical Autonomy

Building persistent embodied agents in unstructured environments demands unified orchestration of heterogeneous tools spanning both cyber (APIs, IoT) and physical (manipulation, navigation) domains, coupled with autonomous recovery from physical failures that inevitably arise over extended operation. Existing systems treat these as separate problems: VLM-based planners lack a unified cyber-physical action space, agent frameworks accumulate unbounded context that degrades temporal coherence, and VLA policies execute open-loop without detecting their own failures.
