TokaMind: A Multi-Modal Transformer Foundation Model for Tokamak Plasma Dynamics

arXiv:2602. 15084v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present TokaMind, to our knowledge the first open-source foundation model for tokamak plasma dynamics, based on a Multi-Modal Transformer (MMT) and pretrained on heterogeneous diagnostics from the publicly available MAST dataset.

MatterDoor: Sampling Zero-shot Spatio-semantic Priors using Generative Models

arXiv:2510. 11014v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous robots often view rooms only partially, through a doorway, where the walls and scene structure hide the geometry and task-relevant semantics needed for safe navigation and goal-directed action.

Think Like a Pilot: Fine-Grained Long-Horizon UAV Navigation

arXiv:2606. 06836v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language-guided UAV agents must execute long-horizon semantic instructions while producing smooth, physically feasible continuous flight commands, yet existing Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) benchmarks typically use discrete or coarse actions and existing UAV Vision-Language-Action (VLA) tasks focus on short, atomic maneuvers.

ChinaHeritaQA: A Culturally-Grounded Visual Question Answering Dataset for World Heritage Sites in China

We introduce ChinaHeritaQA, a multimodal benchmark dataset for evaluating the cultural reasoning abilities of vision-language models (VLMs) on UNESCO World Heritage sites in China. The dataset comprises 2,279 in-the-wild images paired with 14,133 bilingual (Chinese/English) multiple-choice QA pairs spanning seven cognitive dimensions, from basic identity recognition to historical periodization and architectural analysis.
