Uncertainty-guided Compositional Alignment with Part-to-Whole Semantic Representativeness in Hyperbolic Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2603. 22042v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable performance, their Euclidean embeddings remain limited in capturing hierarchical relationships such as part-to-whole or parent-child structures, and often face challenges in multi-object compositional scenarios.

MAGIC: Transition-Aware Generation of Navigable Multi-Scene Game Worlds with Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 11594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-scene navigation (clearing an objective in one bounded space and then crossing a portal into the next) is a defining feature of contemporary 3D games, but authoring it is laborious: every portal must have consistent endpoints on both sides, each interior must remain navigable once it is furnished, and the resulting connectivity must be kept consistent across many files.

TS-Mask VLA: 2D Temporal-Spatial Masking for Vision-Language-Action Model with Effective Bridging

arXiv:2607. 09818v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models aim to understand natural-language instructions and visual observations, and to generate and execute corresponding actions as embodied agents.

TOLiD: Bridging the Architecture Gap in Vision Foundation Model to LiDAR Pretraining via Token Lifting for Distillation

arXiv:2607. 10762v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modal distillation from Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) to LiDAR backbones has recently emerged as a self-supervised pretraining strategy that reduces reliance on dense point-wise annotation for 3D scene understanding.

SlimPer: Make Personalization Model Slim and Smart

Transformer-style architectures are increasingly adopted for industrial recommendation systems, yet they inherit a design premise misaligned with the task: generative models rely on per-token autoregressive prediction, which justifies maintaining large intermediate tensors that scale with sequence length. In contrast, recommendation systems produce a single set of relevance scores for each pair without token-level supervision.

LoRA-Based Cascaded Multimodal Fusion for Action Recognition in Medical Training Environments

This paper presents a cascaded Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA)-based multimodal fusion framework for action and activity recognition in healthcare-oriented training environments. The proposed architecture combines parameter-efficient modality-specific adaptation with sequential fusion, enabling modalities to be integrated in stages without retraining previously learned components.
