In-Context Reinforcement Learning under Non-Stationarity: A Survey

arXiv:2607. 11906v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The development of decision-pretrained transformers, algorithm distillation, long-context meta-RL, and retrieval-augmented agents has renewed interest in in-context reinforcement learning (ICRL): the ability of a pretrained or fine-tuned decision model to infer latent task rules and improve future behavior from interaction context, without test-time parameter updates.

Analyzing Image Encoder Choices and Graph Homophily in GCN Frameworks for Breast Ultrasound Classification

arXiv:2607. 12054v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast ultrasound is widely used for screening, yet automated analysis remains challenging due to speckle noise, acquisition variability, and weak separation of benign and malignant cases in standard ultrasound imaging.

An Omnilingual-ASR-Based Speech-LLM System for the 2nd MLC-SLM Challenge

arXiv:2607. 12468v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe our submission to Task 1 of the 2nd MLCSLM Challenge: a cascaded diarization-then-recognition system that combines DiariZen-Large-s80 (WavLM-Large) segmentation, CAM++ embedding-based two-speaker clustering, and a LoRA-adapted omniASR LLM 7B v2 recognizer, with no oracle segmentation or speaker labels at test time.

Exploring Zero-Shot Foundation Models for Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection

arXiv:2607. 12454v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection (MTSAD) is essential for reliability and safety in domains such as industrial process monitoring and financial risk management, yet conventional approaches rely on application-specific models that are costly to train and hard to scale.

SlimPer: Make Personalization Model Slim and Smart

arXiv:2607. 12281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-style architectures are increasingly adopted for industrial recommendation systems, yet they inherit a design premise misaligned with the task: generative models rely on per-token autoregressive prediction, which justifies maintaining large intermediate tensors that scale with sequence length.
