What Do They See? Interpreting Complex Road Scenarios Through the Eyes of Vision-Language-Action Models for Safe and Trustworthy Autonomous Vehicle Learning

arXiv:2607. 16938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: End-to-end autonomous driving models are now able to navigate complex road scenarios, mapping raw sensor observations directly to observed paths for open-loop evaluation and often effective driving in closed-loop evaluation.

ColGraphRAG: Late-Interaction Evidence Retrieval for Multimodal GraphRAG

arXiv:2607. 16208v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-grounded multimodal question answering organizes text, tables, and images in a structured evidence graph, yet end-to-end accuracy depends on which multimodal assets are ranked highly enough to enter downstream reasoning; for graph-linked images, single-vector bi-encoder similarity can discard patch- and token-level structure needed for fine-grained alignment.
