arXiv:2606. 01215v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current 3D spatial reasoning methods face a fundamental trade-off: neuro-symbolic 3D (NS3D) concept learners achieve interpretable reasoning through compositional programs but are constrained to closed-set concept vocabularies and simple programs; end-to-end 3D multi-modal LLMs (3D MLLMs) could handle complex natural language and open-vocabulary concepts but suffer from black-box reasoning without explicit spatial verification.

arXiv:2606. 00059v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Informative excitation signals are critical for accurate system identification of mechatronic systems, yet classical system identification (SI) approaches require expert knowledge and hand-crafted signal design to respect hardware safety constraints, limiting their generalizability.

arXiv:2602. 14307v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As frontier Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly saturate new benchmarks shortly after they are published, benchmarking itself is at a juncture: if frontier models keep improving, it will become increasingly hard for humans to generate discriminative tasks, provide accurate ground-truth answers, or evaluate complex solutions.
