ETHOS: Towards a Modular Ethics Framework for Clinical Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2608. 15424v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid adoption of large language models has enabled the development of clinical multi-agent systems (MAS) capable of integrating multimodal patient data and supporting increasingly complex clinical decision-making.

Neurosymbolic Embodied Agents

arXiv:2608. 16794v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language and vision-language models generate plausible embodied plans but do not guarantee executability, as their outputs can violate environment dynamics or act on incorrectly grounded entities.

Hypergraph-based Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Incremental Refinement

arXiv:2608. 16628v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (M-RAG) systems are fundamentally limited by the binary connectivity paradigm of traditional simple graphs, which fails to capture the intricate, high-order correlations among heterogeneous entities, such as the N-ary relationships between a visual chart, its scattered textual descriptions, and underlying numerical data.

PhaseLoRA: Control-Regime-Conditioned Low-Rank Adaptation for Continuous-Action Vision-Language-Action Policies

arXiv:2608. 15285v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) is a natural way to adapt pretrained vision-language-action (VLA) policies, but most adapter designs apply temporally static updates throughout a control rollout, overlooking the phase-dependent nature of continuous-action manipulation.

NumerosityVLM: A Cognitively Inspired Benchmark for Interpreting Numerosity Representations in Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2608. 15425v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) achieve strong performance on high-level multimodal tasks, yet numerosity perception, a cognitive ability that emerges in human infants before language acquisition, remains poorly understood in current models, as existing counting benchmarks entangle numerosity with correlated visual factors.
