AdvDex: Learning Dexterous Manipulation from Human Demonstrations via Joint-Aligned Actions and Adversarial Learning

arXiv:2608. 14028v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dexterous manipulation is a fundamental capability for embodied intelligence, but scaling it remains difficult because robot demonstrations are expensive to collect and action spaces vary across embodiments.

HAM-RAG: Hierarchy-Aware Multimodal RAG for Structure-Faithful Interleaved Generation

arXiv:2608. 14032v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing multimodal RAG methods often flatten structured documents into isolated text and image units, weakening the source organization and local text-image logic needed for faithful evidence selection and placement.

MedMix: Specialization-Consistent Federated Sparse MoEs under Modality Heterogeneity

arXiv:2608. 13911v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated multimodal medical AI faces modality heterogeneity at both the client and sample levels: clients may systematically lack access to specific modality types, while individual records within the same client may contain different partial modality subsets.

Sensor-Driven Mission Synthesis for UAV/UGV Swarms: A TB-CSPN Coordination Architecture with Hardware-Enforced Safety

arXiv:2608. 14306v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a coordination architecture for heterogeneous UAV/UGV swarms that synthesises mission actions from uncertain, multi-modal sensor evidence while preserving hardware-enforced safety at the actuation boundary.

TeachMateGPT: A Multi-Agent Knowledge-Grounded Framework for Pedagogical Assessment Generation from Science Curriculum Materials

arXiv:2608. 13708v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatically generating textbook-grounded assessment items can reduce science teachers' workload, but existing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems rely on flat retrieval, support only single-question generation, lack safeguards against weak evidence, and are ill-suited to low-resource, board-exam-structured curricula.

Fine-Tuning Qwen3-27B for C-to-Rust Code Translation: A Three-Stage Curriculum of Pretraining, Debugging-Aware SFT, and Task-Specific SFT

arXiv:2608. 13681v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Translating C code into safe, idiomatic Rust is a longstanding software-engineering goal because it can eliminate entire classes of memory-safety vulnerabilities while preserving the functional behavior of legacy systems.

CMCNet: Aligning Ultrasound Image Embeddings with Textual TI-RADS Representations for Fine-Grained Thyroid Classification

arXiv:2608. 13939v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for assessing thyroid nodules, and the ACR TI-RADS framework standardizes diagnosis through five ultrasound feature categories that are aggregated into five risk levels (TR1-TR5).
