Do LLMs Know Their Vulnerable Scenarios?

arXiv:2607. 23496v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safety-aligned large language models are trained to refuse harmful requests, yet embedding the same requests in particular scenarios can bypass their safeguards.

Coordinated Networking for On-Device Agent-Augmented Real-Time Communication

arXiv:2607. 22854v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents are enabling a new paradigm of agent-augmented real-time communication (RTC), where humans focus on high-level collaboration, while agents autonomously retrieve, analyze, and generate information in real time to support their interactions.

Sparse Autoencoders Encode Both Concepts and Functions: The Downstream Geometry of Feature Effects

The wide-scale use of sparse autoencoders (SAEs) as interpretability tools is limited by inconsistent links between SAE features and model behavior. Features with clear activation descriptions may have weak or unexpected causal effects; steering can vary across prompts or oppose the intended direction; and activation-based feature selection can miss features that produce the desired output change.

InterOCF: Spatio-Temporal 2D-3D Interaction for Camera-Only 4D Occupancy Forecasting

Camera-only 4D occupancy forecasting enables autonomous vehicles to predict future 3D semantic scenes solely from historical multi-view images, which is critical for driving safety. Even though current methods have achieved good performance, the strong spatial-temporal modeling between the input multi-view frames is still underexplored, which limits the performance of those methods in future 4D forecasting.

CONSISTRE: A Unified Consistency-Aware Framework for Document-Level Relation Extraction with Large Language Models

Document-level relation extraction (DocRE) aims to extract relations among multiple entities across extended contexts while maintaining consistency across predicted triples. Although large language models (LLMs) show remarkable reasoning capabilities in information extraction, their predictions are typically generated independently for each candidate triple and may violate fundamental relational constraints such as transitivity, symmetry, and functional uniqueness, leading to contradictory and unreliable outputs.

FilmBench: A Film-Grade Benchmark for Cinematic Video Generation

Progress in video generation keeps narrowing the visual gap between AI-generated and professionally produced footage, yet most benchmarks still draw prompts from web sources or LLM templates and score them with untrained, generic multimodal models. More fundamentally, their evaluation taxonomies remain rudimentary (overall visual quality, coarse text alignment and temporal smoothness) rather than the professional Cinematic Language criteria by which films are actually made and judged, so they assess basic video plausibility rather than film-grade craft.

A Cyclic Adaptation-Generalization Framework with Uncertainty-Guided Self-Paced Learning for Long-Term Brain-Machine Interfaces

Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs), which link the brain to external devices, hold great potential in rehabilitation, human performance augmentation, and human-centered robotics. However, invasive BMIs face a critical challenge for long-term deployment due to neural drift, which degrades decoding performance over time and necessitates frequent recalibration.
