Retrieval pipelines, vector search, chunking and reranking: how models are grounded in a corpus instead of their weights.
arXiv:2604. 09757v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical vision--language models (VLMs) have shown strong potential for medical visual question answering (VQA), yet their reasoning remains largely text-centric: images are encoded once as static context, and subsequent inference is dominated by language.
arXiv:2607. 16864v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Supercharging of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) requires robust health monitoring to ensure durability, safety, and user confidence, particularly for emerging vehicle-to-grid applications with bidirectional energy flows.
arXiv:2607. 16553v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Protein fold classification can be approached via sequence-based representations or structural descriptors, but direct comparisons between lightweight handcrafted descriptors and pretrained protein language model embeddings remain limited.
arXiv:2607. 17466v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual assessment systems commonly rely on translation for scoring and quality-control processes.
arXiv:2607. 17712v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Detecting high-level semantic concepts like negation across modalities remains a challenge for current multimodal systems.
arXiv:2607. 16196v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Soft, sensorized companions offer a physically safe and emotionally intuitive interface for socially assistive technologies, yet their deformability and multichannel tactile sensing complicate the robust interpretation of human affect.
arXiv:2607. 16339v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion-based Large Language Models(DLLMs) enable parallel generation via Semi-Autoregressive (SAR) decoding in text generation.
arXiv:2607. 16986v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper introduces Periodic Bootstrap Thompson Sampling (PBTS), an innovative extension of the classic Thompson Sampling (TS) algorithm tailored for bandit problems with periodic non-stationarity.
arXiv:2607. 17570v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph foundation models (GFMs) with global attention are increasingly used to represent mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs), aiming to capture structure beyond the locality of standard graph neural networks.
arXiv:2507. 20804v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) suffer from hallucinations due to their static parametric knowledge.
arXiv:2607. 17374v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph Neural Network (GNN) inference on billion-scale graphs is challenging due to the large memory footprint of features and embeddings and high disk I/O costs in out-of-core settings.
arXiv:2607. 16214v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image descriptions represented with language models (LMs) predict human brain responses to naturalistic images in high-level visual regions, but the factors driving this predictivity remain unclear.
arXiv:2607. 17990v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Highly nonlinear chaotic dynamical systems remain difficult to model due to fundamental trade-offs between complexity, expressivity, and data efficiency.
arXiv:2607. 17419v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Linear attention promises constant-time recurrent inference but degrades sharply on associative recall.
Large language models (LLMs) increasingly support science, but they can also convert hazardous scientific knowledge into actionable misuse guidance. Existing benchmarks often rely on templated queries disconnected from real-world hazards, and employ LLM-as-a-Judge paradigms without domain grounding.
We study the inference-time behavior of deep linear encoder-only transformers through the lens of interacting particle systems. In this perspective, tokens are modeled as particles that interact dynamically through successive linear self-attention layers.
Crowdsourced labeling provides valuable labeled data for domains across natural language processing, computer vision, and video. Label aggregation aims to infer latent true labels from noisy and biased annotations, with the key lying in annotator reliability estimation.
End-to-end vision-language navigation (VLN) with causal vision-language models can map instructions and egocentric observations directly to actions, but standard behavior cloning supervises only the next action and does not explicitly train the policy state to be predictive of future visual outcomes. We first ask a diagnostic question: if the policy is given an expert-trajectory future image as privileged input at training and testing time, is that additional visual evidence useful for choosing the current action?
arXiv:2607. 15447v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent research in clinical machine learning, focusing on outcome predictions in intensive care unit (ICU), has shifted from bespoke supervised models to foundation models, utilising modern representation learning methods.
arXiv:2607. 15516v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Production LLM deployments combine two cost-reduction primitives: prompt caching (a discounted rate for re-used token prefixes) and prompt compression (fewer tokens sent).
