The Path to Self-Evolving Clinical Systems: Scaling Medical Agents from Assistance to Autonomy

arXiv:2607. 11175v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The growing ability of large language models and vision language models to jointly interpret and reason over images and text is reshaping medical agents, moving them from task specific predictors toward autonomous systems that perceive, reason, plan, remember, and act in clinical environments.

Remembering Distinct Items, Not Tokens: A Learnable Dirichlet-Process Cache Between State-Space Models and Attention

arXiv:2607. 09889v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fixed-state sequence models compress an unbounded past into a bounded state, which caps their associative recall at roughly the state dimension; attention escapes the cap by keeping a key-value entry for every token, at quadratic compute and a cache that grows with the sequence.

A Production-Oriented Framework for Evaluation of SFX Generation

arXiv:2607. 09973v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial sound design requires audio generation systems that not only produce realistic audio, but also preserve the perceptual identity of a reference, support controllable variation, and remain efficient for practical workflows.

VehAnchor: Metadata-Free Metric Scale Recovery from Vehicle Cues in Aerial Imagery

arXiv:2603. 04277v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous aerial robots operating in GPS-denied or communication-degraded environments frequently lose access to camera metadata and telemetry, leaving onboard perception systems unable to recover the absolute metric scale of the scene.

MRUF: Multi-granularity Routing with Uncertainty-Aware Fusion for Robust Multimodal Sentiment Analysis

arXiv:2607. 10599v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal sentiment analysis relies on language, visual, and acoustic cues, but utterance-level modality quality may vary due to occlusion, background noise, motion blur, or imperfect transcripts, causing conventional fusion to over-trust unreliable modalities.

Pipette: An Embodied Simulation Platform, Benchmark, and Data-Efficient Augmentation Framework for Wet-Lab Robotics

arXiv:2606. 12936v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Wet-lab robots can improve the reproducibility, throughput, and safety of biomedical experiments, but scaling their learning requires customizable simulators for safe and reproducible task generation, open editable laboratory assets, and efficient pipelines that turn limited demonstrations into usable training data.
