ContextNest: Verifiable Context Governance for Autonomous AI Agent

arXiv:2607. 02116v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous AI agents increasingly depend on external knowledge stores, yet most retrieval pipelines provide relevance without durable guarantees of provenance, version identity, integrity, traceability, or point-in-time reconstruction.

Spatial Support Matters: Geometry-Aware Graph Fusion for Rainfall Field Reconstruction

arXiv:2607. 01621v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-scale rainfall reconstruction is critical for urban flood modeling, but real rainfall sensing systems observe the field through incompatible spatial supports: gauges measure points, microwave links measure paths, and radar/satellite products measure gridded areas.

Few-Shot Open-Set Audio Classification Using Attention Information-Fused Prototypes

arXiv:2607. 01297v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most existing audio classification methods suppose that each query (testing) sample belongs to a class of support (training) samples, and misrecognize samples of unseen classes as seen classes (cannot reject samples of unseen classes).

FlowCIR: Semantic Transport via Flow Matching for Zero-Shot Composed Image Retrieval

Zero-shot composed image retrieval (ZS-CIR) aims to retrieve a target image by editing a reference image with a natural-language instruction, without relying on domain-specific annotated triplets. Most existing ZS-CIR methods rely on textual inversion to translate the reference image into pseudo-text tokens and then compose them with the instruction via simple concatenation in the text space, which can be lossy and brittle for fine-grained semantics.

LiZAD: A Lightweight Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection Framework for Industrial Manufacturing

In modern high-throughput industrial production lines, product configurations and visual characteristics frequently change, making it impractical to collect and annotate data for every new scenario. This dynamic setting makes Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection (ZSAD) particularly suitable, as it enables defect detection without requiring training on target-specific samples.

Safety Targeted Embedding Exploit via Refinement

Safety training for large language models (LLMs) is conducted predominantly in English, leaving uncertain how well safety mechanisms generalize to low-resource languages and mixed-language code-switching. We show that this creates an epistemic gap in which models confidently generate harmful responses for inputs that fall outside the distribution of their safety training.
