A Source Domain is All You Need: Source-Only Cross-OS Transfer Learning for APT Anomaly Detection via Semantic Alignment and Optimal Transport

arXiv:2606. 10216v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are stealthy, multi-stage cyberattacks whose detection is difficult due to scarce labeled traces, severe class imbalance, and the challenge of generating realistic malicious behavior.

Attention-Discounted Adaptive Sampler for Masked Diffusion Language Models

arXiv:2606. 10829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked diffusion language models can reduce inference steps by revealing multiple tokens per denoising iteration, but this parallelism is fragile: positions that are individually confident may be unsafe to commit together when their predictions are coupled.

Closing the Modality Gap in Zero-Shot HAR: Contrastive Training and Separability-Optimized Prototypes on IMU Data

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) for inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based human activity recognition (HAR) faces a central challenge: bridging the gap between sensor embeddings and semantic class representations. We systematically evaluate seven configurations combining three inference methods with two training pipelines on the PAMAP2 dataset, using 14 seen and 4 unseen activity classes with subjects 108 and 109 held out for testing.

Embedding Hybrid Systems into Continuous Latent Vector Fields

This work proves that an $n$-dimensional hybrid system can be embedded into an $m$-dimensional Euclidean space equipped with a continuous vector field on its embedded image whenever $m>2n$. This result suggests that an intrinsically discontinuous hybrid system generically admits a continuous extrinsic representation that is well-posed for differentiable optimization.

One Token per Multimodal Evidence: Latent Memory for Resource-Constrained QA

External memory effectively grounds large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs)-based question answering (QA) in relevant multimodal evidence. However, existing memory paradigms represent each memory item in raw text and image forms, so retrieval-based systems must pass the retrieved text or images to the generation LLMs/VLMs, resulting in high token consumption and storage pressure, making it unaffordable for resource-constrained applications.

Beyond Neural Collapse: Task-Intrinsic Geometry Governs Neural Representations in Modular Arithmetic

arXiv:2606. 08985v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While neural collapse (NC) predicts that a $K$-class-balanced classifier should organize terminal representations as a $(K-1)$-dimensional simplex equiangular tight frame (ETF), modular addition consistently enters a different regime: networks compress to a two-dimensional cyclic geometry in which both classifier weights and token embeddings lie on circles.
