arXiv:2512. 01045v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Data-intensive artificial intelligence applications increasingly rely on large-scale, high-quality, explainable, and reproducible datasets, yet the construction of such datasets often remains labor-intensive, weakly traceable, and difficult to configure.

arXiv:2511. 10453v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models often respond to ambiguous requests by implicitly committing to one interpretation, frustrating users and creating safety risks when that interpretation is wrong.

arXiv:2608. 07700v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Translating a natural-language question into a SPARQL query that can be executed against a large knowledge graph requires resolving lexical ambiguity, grounding surface terms in the target ontology, and producing graph patterns that are both syntactically valid and semantically faithful.

arXiv:2608. 07549v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Triangle meshes provide explicit and accurate surface geometry, yet their irregular topology connectivity makes 3D mesh tokenization a geometric sampling problem: how to sample and organize geometric evidence into compact, structured and learnable tokens.
