Think Inside the Chunk: RegulaRAG for Regulation-Compliant Scenario Generation using LLMs: A Case Study of UN Regulation No. 152

arXiv:2608. 16394v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generating regulation-compliant test scenarios is essential for validating safety-critical automotive systems, yet Large Language Models (LLMs) struggle to ground outputs in long, hierarchical standards.

Cross-Modal Ultrasound-MRI Learning for Fetal Brain Ventricular Volumetry and Abnormality Screening

arXiv:2608. 14763v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Assessment of ventriculomegaly (VM) on fetal brain ultrasound relies primarily on measuring lateral ventricular atrial width on standard planes, which is operator-dependent and may not fully reflect the overall ventricular enlargement.

Handoff-H1: An Orchestrated Vision-Agent System for Material Quantity Takeoff from Construction Blueprints

arXiv:2608. 15032v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Converting a set of architectural blueprints into a complete material quantity takeoff requires visual perception across drawing sheets, dimensional and multi-hop reasoning, and grounding in construction conventions that the drawings never state.

Prompting is not enough: supervised baselines and leakage control for measuring shared decision-making with LLMs in pediatric encounters

arXiv:2608. 14792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Objectives: To determine whether zero-shot prompting of a large language model (LLM) is sufficient to detect shared decision-making (SDM) behaviors in real clinical encounters, and whether supervised learning adds value under patient-grouped, nested evaluation.

ALKEMIE Agent: an autonomous platform for computational materials design

arXiv:2608. 15776v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the powerful multi-scale modeling methods and high-throughput infrastructures established in the materials community, real material computation workflows remain fragmented and heavily manual, requiring researchers to constantly bridge software tools, data analysis, and intermediate decisions.

Hypergraph-based Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Incremental Refinement

arXiv:2608. 16628v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (M-RAG) systems are fundamentally limited by the binary connectivity paradigm of traditional simple graphs, which fails to capture the intricate, high-order correlations among heterogeneous entities, such as the N-ary relationships between a visual chart, its scattered textual descriptions, and underlying numerical data.
