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.

The Injection Paradox: Brand-Level Suppression in Safety-Trained LLM Recommendations via RAG Context Injection

arXiv:2606. 09204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a reproducible failure mode of safety training in RAG-based LLM recommendation -- the Injection Paradox -- in which prompt injections embedded in retrieved documents backfire against the attacker, suppressing the target brand below the injection-free baseline.

From USD Scenes to Knowledge Graphs: Zero-Shot Ontology Grounding with LLMs

arXiv:2606. 09134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Constructing knowledge graphs from 3D simulation scenes is essential for robot task reasoning, but the key bottleneck, grounding scene objects to formal ontology classes, still relies on manually curated dictionaries that are brittle and do not generalize across assets.

Do Video Foundation Models Understand Intuitive Physics? A Layerwise Probing Analysis

arXiv:2606. 09646v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study whether pretrained video foundation models encode intuitive-physics information in their frozen representations, and how this information varies across model families, layers, and probe types.

Generalized Rank-based Evaluation for Knowledge Graph Completion: Perspectives, Framework, and Analyses

arXiv:2606. 08921v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to predict missing facts from an observed knowledge graph (KG), playing a crucial role in a wide range of real-world applications such as drug discovery, recommender systems, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
