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.

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.

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.

arXiv:2608. 16185v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM agents increasingly answer questions over dynamic raw-document collections, where files may change before preprocessing, and relevant evidence (spans, sections, pages, or tables) is query-dependent.

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.
