PhysMRV: Physical Memory Retrieval and Verification for Physics Plausibility Reasoning

arXiv:2607. 10190v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video-language models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on video understanding and visual question answering, yet they remain unreliable in reasoning about physical plausibility, where understanding object interactions, causal dynamics, and fundamental physical principles is essential.

AeroMELD: A Linear Embedding of Aerosol Populations for Diagnostics and Latent Dynamics

arXiv:2607. 11073v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurately representing atmospheric aerosol populations is essential for simulating aerosol-cloud interactions, radiative forcing, and ice nucleation, yet existing reduced schemes impose structural assumptions that limit their ability to capture composition diversity and mixing state.

TOLiD: Bridging the Architecture Gap in Vision Foundation Model to LiDAR Pretraining via Token Lifting for Distillation

arXiv:2607. 10762v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modal distillation from Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) to LiDAR backbones has recently emerged as a self-supervised pretraining strategy that reduces reliance on dense point-wise annotation for 3D scene understanding.
