arXiv:2607. 03089v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: HAR is increasingly expected to run continuously on edge devices, yet recent LLM-based methods remain hard to deploy: raw sensor prompts are long, cloud inference adds latency and privacy risk, and fine-tuned LLM pipelines turn general-purpose models into task-specific classifiers.

arXiv:2607. 04306v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Distilling a fine-tuned teacher into a LoRA-adapted student is a standard recipe for parameter-efficient compression, but output-level KD does not explicitly control which rank-$r$ weight subspace the adapter occupies.

arXiv:2607. 05277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Defenses that provide security guarantees against prompt injection attacks rely on strict isolation between trusted instructions and untrusted data.

arXiv:2607. 04528v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Software-agent benchmarks usually report whether an agent solves a task, but the agent reaches that outcome through a harness that controls what it sees, which actions it can take, which failures are repaired, which states are verified, and which evidence is logged.

arXiv:2605. 16103v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Q-learning is known to suffer from overestimation bias: because the Bellman update maximizes noisy or imperfect action-value estimates, positive errors can be selected and propagated, causing learned values to exceed the true optimal values.
