A Unified Structured Query Understanding Framework for Industrial Semantic Search

arXiv:2605. 27441v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Query understanding in large-scale industrial search systems is typically implemented as a cascade of disparate, task-specific components.

BCG-FM: A Foundation Model for Ambient Cardiac Health Sensing

arXiv:2606. 07692v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models for wearable biosignals have matched or exceeded supervised specialists across a range of clinical tasks, yet all rely on modalities that require deliberate user action--wearing a device or visiting a sleep lab.

End-to-End Context Compression at Scale

Long-context language model inference is bottlenecked by memory, as the KV cache grows with context length. Recent techniques to compress the KV cache fall short: they either degrade model quality substantially or require considerable time and compute to compress a single long prompt.

Conan-embedding-v3: Fusing Modality-Specific Models for Omni-Modal Embedding

Omni-modal retrieval promises a single embedding space for text, image, video, document, and audio inputs, but building such a unified retriever is difficult since these modalities differ in data distribution, architecture, and optimization dynamics. In this work, we present Conan-embedding-v3, a decouple--fuse--recover framework for omni-modal retrieval.

Pretrained, Frozen, Still Leaking: Auditing Cross-Encoder Attribute Transfer in EEG Foundation Models

EEG foundation-model releases are usually audited one endpoint at a time: raw-reconstruction, membership inference, identity linkage, or DP-SGD on the downstream head. We audit the same released embeddings under all four endpoints jointly, on BIOT, LaBraM, and EEGPT, and show that each single-endpoint audit clears releases that still leak spectral attributes.

Vision-Language Guided Hyperspectral Object Tracking via Semantics Fusion and Contextual Template Updating

Hyperspectral object tracking (HOT) leverages the rich spectral information provided by hyperspectral videos (HSVs), offering substantial potential for object tracking. However, efficiently extracting and exploiting spectral information from redundant spectral bands remains a fundamental challenge, which severely limits model generalization and tracking performance.

Hierarchical Certified Semantic Commitment for Byzantine-Resilient LLM-Agent Collaboration

arXiv:2606. 07316v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Byzantine collaboration among large-language-model agents requires a finality-control primitive: given delivered stochastic, structured natural-language proposals, the protocol must decide whether the round supports a commit, what kind of commit, or a typed safe abort.
