SMA: Who Said That? Auditing Membership Leakage in Semi-Black-box RAG Controlling

arXiv:2508. 09105v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and its Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (MRAG) significantly improve the knowledge coverage and contextual understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs) by introducing external knowledge sources.

Efficient Code Embeddings from Code Generation Models

arXiv:2508. 21290v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: jina-code-embeddings is a novel code embedding model suite designed to retrieve code from natural language queries, perform technical question-answering, and identify semantically similar code snippets across programming languages.

SAGA: Structure-Attended Generative Action Embedding Model that encodes Multi-Surface User Action Sequences

arXiv:2608. 15429v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prior embedding models for sequential recommendation typically operate within a homogeneous action space, limiting their ability to capture cross-surface behavioral signals spanning distinct behavioral domains.

GRIP: Grounded Reasoning via Information-Restricted Premises

GRIP (Grounded Reasoning via Information-Restricted Premises) addresses the query dominance problem in retrieval-augmented generation by enforcing a capacity asymmetry: the decoder retains full access to the query while retrieved evidence is funneled through a severe stochastic bottleneck. This design forces the evidence channel to encode only residual information not present in the query. On five reasoning benchmarks, GRIP surpasses strong iterative baselines, reduces query–latent mutual information by about 30×, cuts hallucination by 73%, and its bottleneck outputs occupy subspaces less aligned with the query than baseline representations.

HAF: Adapting Generalist VLAs to Humanoid Whole-Body Loco-manipulation via Hierarchical Action Flow and Spectral Latent RL

Humanoid robots hold great promise as general-purpose agents in human-centered environments, yet generalist vision-language-action (VLA) foundation models are not readily applicable to humanoid whole-body loco-manipulation. The high dimensionality and interdependence of humanoid motions make it challenging for conventional single-stage VLA architectures to coordinate locomotion, waist posture, and dual-arm manipulation effectively.
