The Injection Paradox: Brand-Level Suppression in Safety-Trained LLM Recommendations via RAG Context Injection

arXiv:2606. 09204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a reproducible failure mode of safety training in RAG-based LLM recommendation -- the Injection Paradox -- in which prompt injections embedded in retrieved documents backfire against the attacker, suppressing the target brand below the injection-free baseline.

Mobility-Embedded POIs: Learning What A Place Is and How It Is Used from Human Movement

arXiv:2601. 21149v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent progress in geospatial foundation models highlights the importance of learning general-purpose representations for real-world locations, particularly points-of-interest (POIs) where human activity concentrates.

Harmonia: End-to-End RAG Serving Optimization

arXiv:2505. 07833v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) improves the reliability of large language models by integrating external knowledge, but serving RAG pipelines efficiently is challenging because requests traverse heterogeneous components spanning LLM inference, databases, and CPU-side processing.

GENERIC-FNO: Embedding Energy Conservation and Entropy Production into Fourier Neural Operators

arXiv:2606. 08343v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce GENERIC-FNO, the first neural operator to embed the full GENERIC (metriplectic) structure of nonequilibrium thermodynamics -- reversible, energy-conserving dynamics and irreversible, entropy-producing dynamics coupled through the degeneracy conditions -- directly in function space.

Anything2Skill: Compiling External Knowledge into Reusable Skills for Agents

arXiv:2606. 09316v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enables agents to access external knowledge at inference time, but it primarily retrieves fragmented declarative evidence, leaving agents to repeatedly infer task procedures from passages, manuals, examples, logs, or trajectories.
