Anticipate Before Acting: Future-State-Conditioned Vision-Language Navigation

arXiv:2607. 18042v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: End-to-end vision-language navigation (VLN) with causal vision-language models can map instructions and egocentric observations directly to actions, but standard behavior cloning supervises only the next action and does not explicitly train the policy state to be predictive of future visual outcomes.

Bridging battery design and health assessment through virtual sensing and physics-informed learning

arXiv:2607. 16864v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Supercharging of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) requires robust health monitoring to ensure durability, safety, and user confidence, particularly for emerging vehicle-to-grid applications with bidirectional energy flows.

Retrieval-Augmented Interpretable Learning: Towards Task-Specific Zero-Shot Models in Healthcare

arXiv:2607. 17508v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Retrieval-Augmented Interpretable Learning (RAIL), a probabilistic meta-learning framework for zero-shot generation of task-specific interpretable models that synthesizes coefficient-space structure from natural-language task descriptions and a memory of previously learned task-specific predictors.

SGMCE: Segment-Grounded Morphological Concept Explanation for Malaria Parasite Species Identification in Thick Blood Smears

arXiv:2607. 16324v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Malaria diagnosis in endemic regions depends on species-level identification of Plasmodium parasites in thick blood smears, but deep learning detectors classify detections without providing morphological evidence for their predictions, limiting the ability of microscopists to audit those predictions at the case level.
