A Clustering-Based Framework for Identifying Suspicious Trading Patterns in Capital Market

arXiv:2607.04184v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Market manipulation is the dubious practice of manipulating stock prices in order to make a quick profit, which truly degrades confidence on trading platforms. We implemented an unsupervised fraud-detection toolkit that begins with K-Means++ clustering to address this issue. A dataset of roughly one million financial transactions from 2012 to 2024 is used. In order to identify fraudulent trades and categorize them using market practice heuristic thresholds, the study suggests a clustering-based pipeline. The method highlights 2.02% of trades as suspicious where 51.10% clearly indicate spoofing, 0.10% indicate pump and dump, 0.55% indicate insider trading, 1.43% indicate a fake breakout, and 46.83% are unclassified. Despite the lack of ground truth, the model's performance is confirmed by a Silhouette Score of 0.561.

Global Pose Control for Generative View Synthesis in Normalized Object Coordinate Space

arXiv:2607.02712v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Novel View Synthesis (NVS) enables the generation of unseen views of a scene from a single or multiple images, allowing users to freely explore an object from any viewpoint. Despite the recent impressive qualitative improvements of generative models for this task, existing methods struggle to provide global and intuitive control of target viewpoints because they either use input-relative camera poses or are limited to generating sparse global views. This lack of global pose control severely limits the number of downstream tasks potentially enabled by NVS. To address this limitation, we propose a novel approach for precise camera control in a customizable Normalized Object Coordinate Space (NOCS), requiring single or few unposed images. Our method operates solely on the absolute camera pose of the target view in NOCS, eliminating the need for a relative world frame or camera poses of the input images. Unlike previous methods that treat NVS as a standalone generation task, we formulate it as an image editing problem and build upon state-of-the-art editing models to leverage their superior generalization capability. Camera information is injected as dedicated camera tokens via an in-context multi-modal conditioning strategy. To alleviate the inherent ambiguity of NOCS, we incorporate text descriptions that explicitly define the object's canonical coordinate frame, which also enhances generalization to unseen object categories. Furthermore, we curate a high-quality dataset with consistently aligned orientations and corresponding NOCS text definitions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method robustly generates novel views with accurate and consistent orientations from arbitrary unposed images across diverse categories, achieving state-of-the-art image quality and fidelity.

Inpainting U-Net for seamless pedestrian-level wind prediction across urban morphologies

arXiv:2607.02560v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pedestrian-level wind prediction is essential for urban design and wind-comfort assessment, but high-fidelity simulations such as LES remain computationally expensive for rapid evaluation. This study develops a two-stage U-Net framework for efficient prediction of time-averaged pedestrian-level wind speed over realistic urban morphologies. The model is trained and evaluated using the UrbanTALES dataset, which contains realistic city configurations under different approaching wind directions. In the first stage, a baseline U-Net model (M1) predicts wind fields patch-by-patch from normalised building height and fetch information. This formulation allows application to urban domains of arbitrary size, but independent patch inference can introduce discontinuities at patch boundaries. To address this, a second U-Net model (M2) is introduced as an inpainting-based refinement model. M2 uses a larger contextual window containing the initial M1 prediction and local morphology to reduce discontinuities using neighbouring flow information. During full-field inference, M2 is applied iteratively using a Gauss-Seidel scheme until convergence. Results show that M1 captures the main spatial distribution of pedestrian-level wind speed and performs well in low- and moderate-velocity regions, although high-velocity peaks are less accurate. M2 substantially reduces patch-boundary artefacts and improves spatial coherence. Across unseen urban cases, the framework reproduces mean velocity and spatial variability reasonably well, while maximum velocities remain underestimated. Overall, the proposed framework provides an efficient and flexible surrogate model for high-resolution pedestrian-level wind prediction across realistic urban morphologies.

S-DiverSe: Spanish Diverse Speech

arXiv:2607.03207v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has advanced remarkably for standard speech, yet speech affected by neurological conditions remains a challenge. We present S-DiverSe (Spanish Diverse Speech), a corpus of 3.2 hours of in-the-wild Spanish speech from 22 speakers with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke. The dataset contains 444 manually transcribed audio segments with metadata on speaker sex, disease type, and intelligibility. S-DiverSe is designed to support ASR evaluation and development for neurologically affected Spanish speech. We describe the dataset, analyze its composition, and report baseline ASR results alongside initial adaptation experiments. Our findings reveal that heuristic text post-processing is more robust than fine-tuning for out-of-domain neurological Spanish speech. This underscores the need for dedicated in-the-wild Spanish benchmarks.

Transfer Learning in High-dimensional Ising Models

arXiv:2607.03005v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In high-dimensional Ising model estimation, target sample sizes are often limited, and effectively using auxiliary binary datasets of unknown relevance remains challenging. To address this, we propose Trans-Ising, a transfer learning method that combines a loss-based source screening rule with a two-stage estimation procedure. The method first identifies informative auxiliary sources using held-out target pseudolikelihood to prevent negative transfer. It then computes an initial estimator via pooled nodewise $\ell_1$-regularized logistic regression, followed by a target-only correction step using a folded-concave penalty. Theoretically, we establish fixed-node $\ell_2$ and $\ell_1$ error bounds, exact graph selection consistency, and the conditional consistency of the screening rule. Through extensive simulations and real-data analyses, we demonstrate that Trans-Ising achieves lower estimation errors than both target-only estimation and naive data pooling.

Fixed-Confidence Best-Arm Identification for Causal Mediation Analysis

arXiv:2607.04315v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper studies the problem of identifying the treatment that maximizes the expected natural direct potential outcome (NDPO), which captures the potential outcome of an intervention while excluding the pathway transmitted through a mediator that researchers may wish to remove from evaluation. We first establish population-level identification of the expected NDPO in a causal bandit setting using observable interventional distributions. We then develop a fixed-confidence best-arm identification (BAI) algorithm based on the Track-and-Stop (TaS) framework, employing a cutting-set method to solve the resulting semi-infinite optimization problem. The proposed algorithm achieves sample-efficient identification with a high-probability correctness guarantee. We prove that it satisfies $\delta$-correctness and asymptotic optimality. Finally, we validate the approach through empirical evaluations on a large-scale real-world advertising dataset (IPinYou).

Conditional Diffusion Guided Knowledge Transfer for Multi-Domain Knowledge Graph Completion

arXiv:2607.03154v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-domain knowledge graph completion (MKGC) aims to improve missing triple prediction in a target KG by transferring knowledge from other support KGs. Existing methods typically enforce consistency constraints on equivalent entities across KGs to transfer knowledge, which risks suppressing domain-specific contextual information of entities. This design can also compromise entity representation information from all KG domains, impeding performance improvements, especially in low-resource data scenarios. To address this, we pioneer a generation-based paradigm for MKGC and propose DMKGC, a conditional diffusion-guided knowledge transfer framework. Our key insight is to treat each KG as a partial view of the entity entire information, and generate informative domain-general entity embeddings through diffusion models conditioned on support KGs. Particularly, we first initialize domain-agnostic entity embeddings as prior entity embeddings, and then encode them within individual KGs. Afterward, we fuse equivalent entities from support KGs as the conditional diffusion generation guidance. We leverage the prior entity embeddings as the proxy generation objective, which ensures this conditional generation to be unbiased towards any conditioned KGs. Simultaneously, we also train the generated embeddings to be predictive across KGs, thus preserving domain-specific information. Extensive experiments on 14 KGs in 3 benchmarks demonstrate a 4.3\% average MRR improvement in tail entity prediction over state-of-the-art methods, with sustained gains in low-resource data settings.

Classroom Behavior Monitoring with YOLO An Empirical Study in Higher Education Settings

arXiv:2607.02580v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classroom behavior monitoring plays a vital role in evaluating student engagement and improving teaching effectiveness. Traditional observation methods remain subjective and lack scalability. This study introduces a real-world dataset of classroom videos collected at the Banking Academy of Vietnam (BAV-Classroom dataset), annotated with nine distinctive behavioral categories. State-of-the-art Computer Vision models were evaluated and compared, with YOLOv11 achieving the best performance. Experimental results indicate that students' concentration often decreases notably during the final part of lectures, highlighting challenges in sustaining engagement. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of applying computer vision for automated classroom monitoring, providing valuable insights for academic quality management.

Spectral Rewiring for Exploration, Purification, and Model Merging

arXiv:2607.03065v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning has become a standard post-training recipe for large language models, but dense full-parameter updates create two deployment-relevant bottlenecks: suppressed reasoning performance, often reflected by premature saturation of test-time scaling, and interference when consolidating multiple capabilities through multi-domain training or model merging. We show that the reasoning-effective component of these updates is largely concentrated in the base model's spectral space, motivating Subspace-Aligned Rewiring (SAR), a post-hoc editing method that retains this spectral core while removing orthogonal components. SAR therefore preserves reasoning gains and filters residual update directions that suppress performance or amplify cross-domain interference. Across several model families and scales, SAR extracts compact reasoning cores using as little as approximately 0.58% of total parameters: it preserves over 99% of post-training performance and improves high-k exploration in mathematical reasoning, and generalizes to agentic coding by improving six of seven open benchmarks on an in-house model. SAR also purifies mixed-domain training updates by releasing suppressed coding capability while maintaining math reasoning and instruction following. It further enables model merging across experts, yielding cross-domain generalization that surpasses previous merging baselines and even the best single-domain experts. Overall, SAR shows that extracting reasoning-effective updates from parameter geometry can serve as a training-free mechanism to improve reasoning and multi-domain performance.

Back to Basics: Improving Molecular Understanding in LLMs via SMILES-Graph Translation

arXiv:2607.03007v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in molecular large language models have led to strong performance on molecular understanding and generation tasks, yet these gains often come without reliable structural grounding. In particular, existing approaches conflict with the chemistry principle that structure determines function: despite their downstream success, current molecular LLMs perform poorly on basic structure recognition, suggesting that they fail to capture molecular graphs from canonical SMILES. To remedy this, we propose MolBasic, a structure-first framework that strengthens structural comprehension via SMILES-Graph translation. MolBasic is built around a multi-level structure perception benchmark, where bidirectional SMILES-Graph conversion serves as the core task to align sequential and topological representations. On top of this foundation, we employ a progressive learning scheme with a standardized Chain-of-Thought (CoT) to steer models from structure acquisition toward higher-level molecular reasoning. Experiments show that MolBasic substantially improves structural understanding and yields robust gains on downstream tasks, including property prediction and objective optimization, supporting our structure-first paradigm.

VERITAS: Towards a General-Purpose Replication Tool for Scientific Research

arXiv:2607.02931v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI tools are accelerating scientific publication while the systems that review it struggle to keep up, and independent verification of published research has become both harder and more important. As manual replication is slow and expensive, a growing line of work uses coding agents to automate parts of the process. Existing efforts are largely packaged as benchmarks with companion agents that only run inside the benchmark's own pipeline, and no general-purpose replication tool exists. We present VERITAS, a domain-agnostic replication framework built around CLI coding agents. Given a paper, a code repository, or both, VERITAS extracts the paper's claims, runs the methodology while resolving issues as they arise, and judges each claim against the evidence from experiment runs. The pipeline returns an importance-weighted Replication Score, a severity-rated log of every fix applied, and the patched codebase. We evaluate VERITAS on CORE-Bench and ReplicationBench, 65 papers spanning computer science, social science, medicine, and astrophysics. Against two strong Claude Code baselines on the same model and host environment, VERITAS achieves state-of-the-art performance and leads on every metric on both benchmarks.

VLRC: Vision-Language Reprojection Consistency as a scalable signal for better feed-forward 3D pretraining

arXiv:2607.02707v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Feed-forward 3D models are commonly trained using either expensive geometric supervision or self-supervised photometric objectives, both of which provide incomplete learning signals. We introduce Vision-Language Reprojection Consistency (VLRC), a scalable auxiliary objective that exploits frozen vision-language representations as semantic multi-view supervision. Given a predicted 3D reconstruction, VLRC reprojects dense vision-language features across views and enforces feature consistency between corresponding image locations, requiring no additional 3D annotations. The objective integrates seamlessly with both self-supervised monocular reconstruction and supervised-pretrained feed-forward 3D models during unlabeled adaptation. By aligning geometry with language-grounded features, VLRC not only improves depth and camera estimation but also enables more coherent multi-view semantic fusion for open-vocabulary 3D scene understanding. Experiments on indoor and outdoor benchmarks demonstrate consistent gains in 3D reconstruction accuracy and zero-shot open-vocabulary 3D semantic segmentation.

Mental Health Disorder Detection Beyond Social Media: A Systematic Review of Available Datasets

arXiv:2607.03540v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Detecting mental health disorders in a timely manner is an important societal challenge. NLP and machine learning (ML) methods used to assist with detection rely on data collected primarily from social media. However, such datasets often have sampling biases and inherent ethical and privacy issues. One avenue to overcome these limitations is non-social media data. We present the first comprehensive review of non-social media, free-text datasets for mental health research. We use the PRISMA methodology to conduct our survey and we review datasets available in multiple languages. We find that non-social media free-text based datasets are predominantly focused on English and on detecting depression. These datasets also vary in demographics, platforms, data types, annotation techniques, and methodologies. This systematic review also reveals key gaps and highlights opportunities to develop more diverse, reliable and clinically-relevant resources.

OpFlow: Learning Opportunity-Conditioned Choice Potentials for Robust OD Flow Prediction

arXiv:2607.03200v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Origin-destination (OD) flow prediction is central to urban analytics, yet deep models trained on raw counts remain vulnerable to distribution shift. The core problem is that raw count supervision cannot distinguish transferable choice mechanisms from environment-specific shortcuts. Raw OD count mixes two objects: how much demand an origin produces and how that demand is allocated across destinations. We argue that the transferable object is the exposure-to-choice law that maps spatial conditions to relative destination preferences. We propose OpFlow, a mechanism-constrained framework that learns row-centered choice potentials and reconstructs flows by combining the induced allocation with a separately calibrated origin scale. Under distribution shift, spatial exposures and the induced allocations are allowed to vary; what transfers is the conditional map from exposure states to relative choice potentials. Theoretically, we characterize the identifiable row-centered potential and show that classical spatial interaction laws are restricted log-potential cases. Controlled synthetic shifts and a real-world experiment show OpFlow improves robustness under environment shifts.

msPCA: An R Package for Sparse PCA with Multiple Components

arXiv:2607.05229v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present msPCA: an open-source R package for sparse principal component analysis with multiple components. It implements an alternating maximization algorithm to generate a set of sparse loading vectors that collectively explain a large fraction of the variance in a dataset, while remaining non-redundant. The algorithm supports two definitions of non-redundancy: either orthogonality of the loading vectors or zero pairwise correlation between principal components (PCs). In the reported benchmarks, msPCA solves sparse PCA problems with thousands of features, achieving competitive runtimes while producing sparse components with controlled feasibility violations and a high fraction of variance explained.

Object-Centric Environment Modeling for Agentic Tasks

arXiv:2607.02846v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents can improve through accumulated experience, but free-form textual memories become difficult to maintain, validate, and reuse as interactions grow. Recent symbolic approaches learn executable skills or programmatic world models, yet often store local procedures or assume simplified dynamics. We propose Object-Centric Environment Modeling (OCM), which organizes experience into an executable object-centric environment model. OCM maintains two connected code bases: object knowledge, which defines environment entities and mechanisms as Python classes, and procedure knowledge, which records reusable interaction patterns that must import and use the object model. OCM works in an online setting: after each episode, OCM reflects on the trajectory, updates both knowledge bases, and verifies that all procedures execute against the updated object model. During future interaction, the agent uses progressive knowledge disclosure to inspect compact code signatures first and read source code only when needed. Experiments show that OCM achieves the best average rank across benchmarks and reduces invalid actions, demonstrating that agents can benefit from building object-centric environment models.

Internal Pluralism and the Limits of Pairwise Comparisons

arXiv:2607.02672v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Local pairwise comparisons are a standard tool for learning how people want decision rules to work, e.g., in participatory design or alignment. However, their use builds in two strong assumptions: that local comparisons are sufficient evidence about how a person wants an automated decision rule to behave, and that people can always answer those comparisons decisively. We investigate how these assumptions may be compromised under internal pluralism: the idea that an individual evaluates decision rules according to multiple authoritative priorities about how the rule should behave. We provide a formal model of such pluralistic preferences over decision rules, which then lets us identify two distinct failures of forced local pairwise comparison data. First, priorities such as proportionality, egalitarianism, and equal treatment are inherently global: what they imply in one case can depend on what happens elsewhere, so local comparisons may fail to capture them. Second, even when priorities are representable locally, tension between strongly-held priorities can generate internal conflict, producing potentially costly behavioral distortions when comparisons are forced. We then use our model to investigate the alternative -- allowing people to report indecision -- and our findings suggest that doing so can considerably reduce the number of queries needed to learn preferences accurately. We conclude by describing how our model points toward preference-learning methods that elicit these priorities directly, yielding more faithful and interpretable accounts of what people value.

An Automated Multimodal Glaucoma Detection Framework Using ViT and a Stacking-Based Ensemble

arXiv:2607.02692v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that can lead to irreversible vision loss if not detected at an early stage. Conventional diagnostic procedures are often time-consuming and rely heavily on expert interpretation, limiting their scalability for large-scale screening. In this study, glaucoma detection is investigated under two evaluation settings: sample-wise, where individual samples are analyzed independently, and patient-wise, where data from each patient are aggregated for final prediction. An automated multimodal framework is proposed that integrates fundus images with clinical data. Under the sample-wise setting, detection is performed using fundus images and clinical features individually, as well as through their multimodal combination. Under the patient-wise setting, predictions are obtained by aggregating multiple fundus image representations with corresponding clinical information for each patient. Deep visual features are extracted using a Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture and classified using classical machine-learning models, with a stacking-based ensemble of the three best-performing classifiers employed to optimize performance. Experiments conducted on the publicly available PAPILA dataset demonstrate strong diagnostic performance, achieving 97.47% accuracy and a 97.50% F1-score for sample-wise multimodal classification, and 98.97% accuracy and F1-score for subject-wise detection. The proposed framework is further deployed as an end-to-end web-based platform to support automated glaucoma screening and clinical decision support.

Speaker-Disentangled Chunk-Wise Regression for Syllabic Tokenization

arXiv:2607.04064v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unsupervised syllabic tokenization aims to learn discrete syllabic tokens that capture latent linguistic content-related structure from raw speech. Recent syllabic tokenization methods employ teacher-student distillation of the pretrained HuBERT to organize latent speech frame representations into syllabic segments. However, when trained with an utterance-level cross-entropy objective, the model predicts speaker identity rather than linguistic content, thereby compromising the purity of syllabic tokens. To address this problem, we propose a speaker-disentangled syllabic tokenizer that regresses speaker-perturbed student representations toward clean teacher targets within fixed-length chunks. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance in syllable boundary detection and syllabic segment clustering. Moreover, a speech language model trained on our syllabic tokens achieves a 7% relative improvement in syntactic and semantic understanding over the phone-level SpiRit-LM.

PLACEMEM: Toward a Compute-Aware Memory Plane for Lifelong Agents

arXiv:2607.04089v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Lifelong agents need more than larger context windows and better retrieval. They need memories that can persist, evolve, and be corrected without forcing the serving stack to recompute the same history on every turn or silently reuse stale runtime state. We present PLACEMEM as a systems position on lifelong-agent memory, instantiated by an executable control-plane prototype. The central claim is that agent memory should be represented as versioned capsules that unify semantics, provenance, validity, and reusable runtime state under one correction-aware identity. In the current prototype, capsules drive prompt-level text retrieval, KV-aware routing, and cascading invalidation over live streamed backends; prospective layer-frontier replay is intentionally framed as a deeper integration agenda rather than a claimed engine feature. We describe a vLLM-first prototype with persistent capsule state, concurrency-safe invalidation, an OpenAI-compatible routing sidecar, a typed metadata contract, and a benchmark harness that measures live first-token latency, reuse, and post-correction behavior. The result is both an executable artifact that demonstrates correction-aware control-plane behavior today and a concrete roadmap for replay-aware serving integration in future lifelong-agent systems.

Learning from Lost Provenance: Multiple Instance Learning for Cancer Registry Tumor Group Classification

arXiv:2607.03481v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modernizing cancer registries with deep learning is opening new opportunities to automate labor-intensive tasks such as the coding of pathology reports. However, progress is constrained by the scarcity of report-level human-annotated training data. Cancer registries generate substantial volumes of expert-assigned labels as a routine product of their operations, but these exist at the patient level and are not linked to the individual pathology reports that informed them, limiting their direct use for training models. We develop an efficient framework for training deep learning classifiers by leveraging these operationally-generated labels without requiring per-report human annotation, demonstrated for tumor group classification at the BC Cancer Registry. We use Attention-Based Multiple Instance Learning (ABMIL) to recover the lost link between patient-level labels and the reports that informed them, leveraging the attention the model places on each report to distil a large, noisily-labeled corpus into a compact, high-quality per-report training dataset. A classifier fine-tuned on a distilled dataset achieved a macro F1 of 0.83, outperforming established baselines across most tumor groups. By turning routine operational labels into high-quality training data without additional annotation or large-scale computing infrastructure, ABMIL offers a practical and accessible route to automating cancer registry workflows.

GRCD: Grounded Region Change Detection for Multi-Finding Chest X-Ray Pairs

arXiv:2607.02719v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Radiologists routinely compare current and prior chest X-rays to track disease progression, producing follow-up reports that describe multiple findings, each localised to an anatomical region and annotated with a temporal change status. Existing automated methods either generate reports from a single image without modelling temporal context, or incorporate temporal information but do not ground their outputs spatially. The few approaches that combine temporal reasoning with spatial grounding are restricted to single-finding descriptions, leaving multi-finding reports with mixed change directions unaddressed. We present GRCD, a framework for grounded report generation from chest X-ray pairs in the multi-finding setting. We first construct a rigorously cleaned dataset of temporal chest X-ray pairs by identifying and correcting two systematic labelling errors in the source annotations. We then introduce a Region-Guided Change Token module that encodes per-region temporal change across anatomical structures and injects this signal into a language model through a dual-pathway strategy combining prepended spatial tokens with gated cross-attention. On a multi-finding test set, GRCD outperforms existing baselines on text generation and clinical accuracy metrics, with gains in change detection. Ablation studies confirm that the dual-pathway design outperforms either integration strategy in isolation on text and clinical metrics, and that region-level change encoding is necessary for multi-finding generation.

DynaWM: A Base-VLA-Guided World Foundation Model for Moving-Object Manipulation

arXiv:2607.02604v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Although vision-language-action (VLA) models have received widespread attention, many challenges remain in manipulating dynamic moving objects. In most existing approaches, end-to-end forward or inverse dynamics models, i.e., world models, are incorporated into high-performance base VLA architectures, which may degrade the performance of well-pretrained base VLA models due to inappropriate fine-tuning. In this paper, we propose DynaWM, a base-VLA-guided world foundation model that adapts to a wide variety of fine-tuned and coarse-tuned base-VLA checkpoints for moving-object manipulation. DynaWM uses a Mamba-3-based action encoder to encode the base action chunk produced by the base VLA into an action-conditioning representation, a V-JEPA 2.1 vision encoder to extract features from multi-view observation history, and a proprioceptive state encoder to encode robotic-arm proprioceptive states. These feature representations jointly condition a flow-matching DiT to regenerate motion-aware action trajectories for moving-object manipulation. For systematic evaluation, we construct the DynaGrasp-32 benchmark, covering six categories of moving-object manipulation tasks, including velocity variation, trajectory variation, and multi-object manipulation, as well as the DynaGrasp-1600 dataset, which consists of 32 scenarios, 1,600 demonstration trajectories, and approximately 1.53M images. For fine-tuned base-VLA checkpoints, DynaWM achieves percentage improvements of 7.19, 45.31, 1.88, and 10.94 over SmolVLA, X-VLA, {\pi}0, and {\pi}0.5, respectively. For coarse-tuned base-VLA checkpoints, performance increases by 35.13, 44.06, 35.69, and 26.13 percentage, respectively. Ablation experiments show that visual encoding enhances success by 27.50%, while reducing success by 45.44% if action conditioning is removed.

Latent Visual Cache for Video Reasoning

arXiv:2607.02607v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video reasoning requires Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) to remain grounded in dense evidence, yet existing systems largely adopt "read-once, generate-many" paradigm, in which visual grounding weakens during generation. This phenomenon has been widely observed and is known as Visual Anchoring Decay. To fill this gap, we introduce Latent Video Cache (Latent-VC), a recurrent latent visual cache inserted into the decoder to preserve compact visual memories throughout reasoning. The cache is trained with supervised contrastive cache alignment and vision-grounded GRPO with a latent grounding reward, while maintaining strict train-inference alignment through native decoder hidden states. Built on Qwen3.5-9B, Latent-VC consistently outperforms strong CoT and SFT+GRPO baselines across six video benchmarks, with especially clear gains on grounding-intensive and long-video tasks. In addition, it also achieves higher accuracy with substantially shorter responses, suggesting that latent visual caching improves video reasoning by preserving visual evidence rather than relying on longer textual chains.

Score Distributions, Not Cells: Evaluating Single-Cell Perturbations Under Class Overlap

arXiv:2607.04595v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most classification problems assume the classes are roughly separable, so that an individual sample can usually be assigned to one class. Single-cell perturbation data violates this assumption: two perturbations can produce different populations of cells while overlapping so much that an individual cell could belong to either. Per-cell accuracy then measures this overlap rather than model quality. We see this on Tahoe-100M and the Virtual Cell Challenge, where a linear classifier, an MLP, and a Transformer all plateau near macro-F1 0.2-0.3 even though almost every pair of perturbations is statistically distinguishable. The fix is to score perturbations across the whole population rather than cell by cell. We average a classifier's per-cell probability vectors over all cells of a perturbation to form a population profile, then rank candidate perturbations by this profile; we call the resulting score the Classifier Discrimination Score (CDS). Taking the top-ranked class recovers the winning perturbation. It needs no retraining, costs linear time in the number of cells, and recovers near-perfect identification from the same weak models. CDS differs from the pseudobulk-based Perturbation Discrimination Score (PDS) used in recent benchmarks only in where the average is taken, raw gene expression for PDS versus a learned discriminative space for CDS, and identifies the true perturbation more reliably on both datasets, with the gap widening as cells grow scarce. Because a metric that misranks the ground truth will misrank the models scored against it, per-cell accuracy and raw-pseudobulk scores should be used with caution when comparing perturbation models.

Wasserstein Residuals: Learning Gradient Flows from Population Dynamics

arXiv:2607.04738v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reconstructing population dynamics is a central problem in the physical and data sciences. Often, the dynamics are modeled as a Wasserstein gradient flow (WGF): a curve of distributions driven by an energy functional. Though there are multiple mathematical characterizations of a WGF, the dominant algorithmic approach relies on the Jordan--Kinderlehrer--Otto (JKO) scheme. JKO-based methods are inflexible to time discretisation and require solving costly optimal transport problems. We take a residual approach, enforcing the continuity equations via a non-negative loss function whose minimum is the WGF. Combined with a data-fitting divergence, this gives a single global objective. This perspective unifies several existing methods and leads to a new particle-based method, stitching, that is simulation-free and robust to large gaps between observations. We demonstrate that the stitching method achieves state-of-the-art performance across trajectory inference benchmarks. For code see github.com/BasisResearch/wasserstein-residuals.

Denoised Conformal Alignment for Reliable Selection of Conditional Average Treatment Effect Predictions

arXiv:2607.03161v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In selective deployment, practitioners act only on a model-chosen subset of individuals based on predicted conditional average treatment effects, but marginal conformal guarantees need not control reliability on that selected subset. We study reliable selection for black-box CATE predictors: selecting candidates whose CATE errors are below a tolerance while controlling the false discovery rate (FDR). Since CATE errors are unobservable, we construct doubly robust proxy errors from pseudo-outcomes; however, naive proxies can lose power under heteroskedasticity because variance overwhelms the reliability signal. We propose Denoised Conformal Alignment, which subtracts an estimated conditional variance component and combines conformal calibration with Benjamini--Hochberg selection. Our analysis shows that validity is governed by stability of proxy/oracle threshold labels, rather than pointwise perfection of the variance estimator. Experiments show substantially improved power while maintaining FDR control across challenging settings.

HAS-Bench: Evaluating LLM-Based Human-Agent Systems under Configurable Human Participation

arXiv:2607.04329v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models increasingly operate in settings where humans are active collaborators rather than passive task providers. We introduce HAS-Framework, a graph-based framework that represents humans and LLM-powered agents as first-class participants with explicit roles, permissions, communication paths, and action authority. Building on this framework, HAS-Bench evaluates Human-Agent Systems under configurable human participation across agency levels, interaction channels, and persona policies. The benchmark measures both task outcomes and process-level collaboration behavior, including clarification quality, feedback utilization, control calibration, safety, initiative, and interaction cost. Experiments across six domains show that human participation can substantially improve task completion and failure recovery, but the gains depend on when, how, and by whom human input is exercised.

Non-Asymptotic Error Bounds for SMC with Biased Proposals: Application to Conditional Diffusion Sampling

arXiv:2607.04780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods are a natural tool for post-hoc conditioning of pretrained generative models, but in many applications the mutation kernels used by the particle system are biased approximations of an ideal Feynman--Kac flow. This paper develops a non-asymptotic error analysis for such SMC samplers. Under forward-smoothing forgetting conditions, we decompose the total error into a kernel bias, measuring the effect of replacing the ideal transition kernels by approximate ones, and a finite-particle Monte Carlo error. Our approach relies on extending local Doeblin-type conditions and Lyapunov drift arguments for Markov kernels to conditional distributions, thereby enabling a principled control of the bias. We then instantiate this general framework for conditional sampling with score-based diffusion models, and derive the first non-asymptotic error bound that jointly controls initialization error, time discretization, and score approximation in the reverse diffusion dynamics as well as finite-particle Monte Carlo error.

Folding, Reasoning, and Scaling with Open-source Drug Discovery Engine

arXiv:2607.03787v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurately modeling biomolecular interactions is a central bottleneck in biology and therapeutic discovery. Here, we introduce Open Drug Discovery Engine (OpenDDE), an open-source, all-atom biomolecular foundation model that uses co-folding as the entry point to a scalable AI-driven drug discovery engine. Rather than treating structure prediction as an isolated endpoint, OpenDDE is designed as a shared structural reasoning layer for modeling sequence-structure-function relationships across biomolecular complexes, enabling complex structure prediction today while providing a foundation for de novo design, affinity estimation, structure-conditioned optimization, and more. OpenDDE integrates advances in all-atom architecture, atomic latent reasoning, inference optimization, and large-scale data processing to achieve IsoDDE-level co-folding accuracy within a reproducible and openly accessible framework. We also identify two scaling-law directions for co-folding models, revealing practical routes for continued improvement through data, model, inference, and training scaling. By releasing training code, inference pipelines, checkpoints, and benchmarks, OpenDDE aims to democratize access to frontier biomolecular intelligence, accelerate global collaboration, and lay an open foundation for next-generation drug discovery systems that can move from predicting molecular structures toward designing, scoring, and optimizing therapeutic candidates for human health.

Revealing Hidden Model Behaviors with Task-Specific Self-Reports

arXiv:2607.03640v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fine-tuning can give a language model a hidden behavior--it may give false answers under a narrow condition, or give harmful advice only when a prompt touches a particular topic. We introduce the Stabilized Adapter for self-Report (SAR), a lightweight LoRA adapter that makes a fine-tuned model describe its own hidden behavior in plain language, using only the model and the dataset it was trained on. Across seven implanted behaviors (plus a no-behavior control), SAR detects the hidden behavior in every one--even when the model has generalized into broad misalignment that the training data alone does not predict. Introspection Adapters (IA), the closest existing baseline, detects some behaviors from our suite but misses others entirely--and where it misses, it hallucinates, consistently reporting wrong behaviors. SAR retains positive signal on every setting where IA fails and halves the rate of hallucinations. This makes it much easier for practitioners to audit their models and obtain reliable answers to "what did my model actually learn?" type of questions.

Trading Confidence: Comprehensive Uncertainty Estimation in Algorithmic Trading

arXiv:2607.02864v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful approach in financial trading, enabling agents to learn optimal strategies through direct market interaction. However, financial markets are highly uncertain, with price fluctuations driven by stochastic volatility, model limitations, and regime shifts. Traditional RL models struggle in dynamic environments, often failing to adapt to sudden market disruptions, leading to suboptimal trading decisions. To address this challenge, we propose an uncertainty-aware RL framework that integrates distributional, epistemic, and aleatoric uncertainty estimations. Our approach enhances uncertainty estimation using SHAP-weighted reconstruction uncertainty, MC Dropout, and an LSTM-based technical indicator consensus mechanism. Experimental results on five major U.S. stock indices demonstrate that RL agents equipped with uncertainty estimation significantly outperform traditional models in return and risk management. This study advances uncertainty estimation in RL-based financial trading, with future research extending its application to other asset classes and alternative RL architectures for greater adaptability.

APeB: Benchmarking Personalization Ability of Large Language Model Agents

arXiv:2607.03162v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-powered agents struggle with personalization when users issue raw, underspecified queries. In this setting, agents must infer latent intent, extract preferences from noisy interaction histories, and select among competing alternatives. Existing benchmarks rarely test this capability, as they often rely on user-refined queries or simplified histories. We introduce personalized product search (PPS), a testbed for agentic personalization under raw queries and diverse histories. We construct Agent Personalized Benchmark (APeB) from action logs, pairing underspecified intents with rich histories and user-viewed candidate items. Evaluating state-of-the-art LLMs with multi-step agent workflows, we find that models handle explicit queries well but struggle with early-stage queries requiring intent and preference discovery. Rubric analysis attributes this gap mainly to ineffective history use. A simple history-aware query-refinement pipeline, VQRA, yields consistent gains, highlighting the need for dedicated history-utilization modules in personalized agents.

Evaluating Generative Agents with Actions Grounded in Socially Distributed Task Environments using Incognita

arXiv:2607.02975v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Effective agency in social environments depends on when an agent seeks knowledge, when it acts, and whether its actions are justified by acquired information. Existing grounded benchmarks provide executable actions, persistent state, and verifiable outcomes, while social simulation environments provide rich interaction among language agents. We study an evaluation setting that combines these requirements. We define socially distributed task environments as interactive environments where task-relevant knowledge is partitioned across role-isolated participants and consequential actions are accessible only through them. Communication serves as exploration over role-partitioned knowledge, while grounded action serves as exploitation over environment state. We introduce Incognita, a Concordia-based framework that separates social interaction from grounded execution. The evaluated agent routes messages to a user or specialist entities; specialists mediate admissible operations; a deterministic sub-environment executes accepted operations over a canonical state; and an offline evaluator scores outcomes with inherited rewards. Incognita-Retail transforms tau-bench retail into a multi-entity environment while preserving final-state reward semantics. We evaluate three generative agent models on 18 tasks stratified by social breadth, with 540 trials. Progress appears in reward and behavior: success rises from 0 percent to 8.9 percent and 17.2 percent, while premature finalization falls from 100 percent to 87 percent and 58 percent. Stronger models elicit more hidden knowledge, contact more entities, and attempt more grounded writes, yet reliability remains low. These findings show that socially distributed task environments expose behavior before reliable success, including knowledge elicitation, source selection, grounded action attempts, and premature completion belief.

Efficient bias mitigation in T2I diffusion models using Concept Graphs

arXiv:2607.03397v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-Image diffusion models often propagate harmful bias inherited from the training data. Existing bias mitigation techniques typically intervene only at the text encoder or provide inference-time guidance, often leading to generations that collapse into semantically incoherent outputs. To address these limitations, we introduce CO-ALIGN (Concept Ontology Alignment), a novel bias mitigation approach based on concept-graph alignment that operates on the model's internal concept ontology. By aligning concepts within the text encoder and denoiser, CO-ALIGN achieves substantial bias reduction while preserving generative integrity. We demonstrate the effectiveness of concept-graph alignment across three paradigms: text-encoders, denoisers and joint text-denoiser ontology alignment. CO-ALIGN outperforms the state of the art, improving fairness by $30\%$, $\Delta FID=11.4$ in image quality, $2.8\%$ in image fidelity, all while reducing semantically incoherent outputs by $88\%$. Beyond bias mitigation, we show that CO-ALIGN benefits other downstream tasks as well. In particular, our experiments demonstrate that better-aligned internal ontologies enhance concept unlearning robustness across multiple unlearning techniques.

Diagnosing Aerial-View Object Detectors with Foundational Image Generative Models

arXiv:2607.02718v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in large-scale image generative models enable photorealistic scene synthesis with controllable attributes. Beyond data augmentation, their potential as diagnostic tools for trained vision systems remains unexplored in the aerial and remote sensing domains. We introduce a synthetic diagnostic framework for aerial-view vehicle detection that combines text-guided generation, attribute-controlled editing, and automated attribute verification to construct a controllable synthetic testbed. This enables fine-grained evaluation of pretrained detectors under diverse scene types and environmental conditions that are difficult to isolate in real datasets. Across three detection architectures and three real aerial datasets, synthetic scene-wise performance trends closely match real-world weaknesses. Guided by these diagnostics, targeted supplementation with small real datasets from the identified weak categories yields improvements of up to 13% AP50 while requiring substantially fewer additional samples than non-targeted augmentation. Our results show that controlled synthetic probing can predict real-domain performance gaps and guide efficient data collection. The proposed diagnostic framework is modular and can incorporate alternative generative or vision-language models as capabilities evolve.

RayTun3R: Online Camera Adaptation in 3D Foundation Models

arXiv:2607.02711v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent 3D foundation models, such as DUSt3R, MASt3R, VGGT, $\pi^3$, and Depth Anything 3, provide strong feed-forward depth and pose estimates on pinhole imagery, but degrade sharply under fisheye camera geometry. We show that this failure is partly caused by a pinhole camera bias in the positional encodings of pretrained 3D foundation models, and propose RayTun3R, a lightweight camera adaptation approach. It keeps the pretrained network fixed and adapts only lightweight components tied to token position and camera geometry. RayTun3R learns parameter-efficient residual corrections to absolute and rotary positional encodings, together with parameter-free tokenization and corrections to prediction-grid coordinates that remove residual pinhole assumptions. The resulting adapter contains only 10,752 trainable parameters and can be learned from a short temporal segment using geometric losses. Once adapted, RayTun3R transfers effectively to the remaining frames of the sequence without incurring additional runtime costs. Across diverse fisheye datasets with fields of view from $110^\circ$ to $200^\circ$, our adapter reduces rotation error by $2$-$12\times$ relative to the unadapted model, outperforms LoRA while using $\sim\!14\times$ fewer trainable parameters, improves pose over adaptation-free baselines while avoiding their multi-view inference cost, and remains competitive on depth accuracy.

Provable Pruning for Efficient 3D Gaussian Splatting via Coresets

arXiv:2607.02721v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables high-quality real-time novel-view synthesis, but practical scenes often contain millions of Gaussians, making compression essential for deployment on limited hardware. Existing reduction methods are effective but mostly heuristic: they provide no multiplicative approximation guarantee for the rendered objective, and thus rely heavily on costly post-pruning finetuning to recover quality. We ask a basic question: can a 3DGS scene be provably replaced by a much smaller weighted subset (coreset) while preserving the objective of interest? We first show that, in the unrestricted setting, no non-trivial multiplicative 3DGS coreset exists. We then show that multiplicative guarantees are not impossible, but resolution-dependent. For a prescribed rendering resolution, such as representative views or grids of views/rays, we provide the first weighted coreset construction theorem for 3DGS. The construction samples Gaussians by sensitivity: provable importance scores measuring each Gaussian's role in the full-scene objective. Finally, under explicit validity and log-transmittance stability assumptions, we turn this objective guarantee into a rendering guarantee. Empirically, our method is strongest where deployment needs it most: aggressive compression with no or minimal recovery compute. In prune-only and very short finetuning regimes, it achieves state-of-the-art performance, showing that principled importance estimation can be both theoretically meaningful and practically useful.

CLABTOOLKIT: An Open-Source Toolkit for Routine Processing, Manipulation, and Visualization of Neuroimaging Data

arXiv:2607.02638v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neuroimaging research requires manipulating heterogeneous data structures, including raw MRI volumes, volumetric parcellations, cortical surface meshes, tractograms, and connectivity matrices, across tools with incompatible interfaces and file formats, forcing researchers to repeatedly re-implement routine but technically demanding operations. We present CLABTOOLKIT, an open-source Python package that consolidates these operations into a single, coherent framework by representing volumetric, surface, and streamline data as interoperable Python objects. Five core data structures (Parcellation, Surface, AnnotParcellation, Tractogram, and Connectome) encapsulate common neuroanatomical entities and provide consistent methods for loading, processing, and exporting data across standard neuroimaging formats (e.g., NIfTI, GIFTI, FreeSurfer annotations, TCK/TRK), including connectome generation from a parcellation and scalar-map projection onto tractogram streamlines. Complementary modules support BIDS dataset management, FreeSurfer integration, diffusion MRI processing, morphometric analysis, graph-theoretical network analysis, and GPU-accelerated multi-panel visualization via PyVista. The toolkit comprises 19 modules organised into six layers, exposing 13 object-oriented classes with 234 methods and 207 standalone functions, and a JSON-based configuration system enables workflow customization without code changes. Unlike existing neuroimaging libraries, which typically address these tasks separately, CLABTOOLKIT combines color and lookup-table management, parcellation manipulation, multi-surface visualization, and tractography utilities within a single framework. CLABTOOLKIT is compatible with Python 3.9-3.12 and released under the Apache 2.0 license. Source code, documentation, and example workflows are available at https://github.com/connectomicslab/clabtoolkit.

S-EMBER: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Streaming Egocentric Memory Retrieval

arXiv:2607.02689v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As wearable devices enable continuous first-person recording, AI assistants must reason across long time horizons to recall past experiences-a capability known as episodic memory. Current benchmarks often rely on offline evaluation with access to entire video files, failing to simulate the streaming reality of wearable intelligence. We introduce S-EMBER (Streaming Egocentric Memory Benchmark for Episodic Retrieval), a large-scale benchmark comprising 3,141 videos totaling 388 hours of organic activity captured via Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. S-EMBER formalizes grounded streaming episodic retrieval, a paradigm shift from global offline search to causal, active recall triggered by visual events in a continuous stream. We provide 9,448 QA pairs requiring manual visual proof through precise temporal localization and supporting flexible response lengths to simulate natural human-AI interaction. Our extensive benchmarking of frontier models uncovers a localization paradox: while semantic reasoning improves with parameter scale, temporal grounding precision remains a stagnant architectural bottleneck that does not benefit from brute-force increases in model size, resolution, or frame density. S-EMBER establishes a hardware-authentic foundation for developing grounded, reliable episodic memory in the next generation of wearable AI agents.

SE-UNet: Singular Equivariant Imaging for Real-World Constrained Generation

arXiv:2607.02628v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While diffusion models have revolutionized image synthesis, their application to real-world inverse problems is often hampered by the need for massive datasets and the difficulty of imposing strict physical constraints. In this work, we introduce \textbf{SE-UNet} (Singular Equivariant UNet), a framework designed to solve ill-posed imaging tasks without extensive pre-training. By treating generation as an optimization problem constrained by geometric equivariance ($D_4$ group) and singular value gating, SE-UNet effectively standardizes the solution space. We demonstrate that these strong inductive biases allow for state-of-the-art zero-shot inpainting results (80\% missing pixels) on CIFAR-10. Our method surpasses Deep Image Prior (DIP) baselines by over 4 dB in PSNR and exhibits a characteristic "singular snap" convergence -- rapidly locking into the signal manifold. SE-UNet thus offers a data-efficient pathway for constrained generation, aligning with the ReALM-GEN goal of bridging theoretical priors with practical deployment.

K9-Bench: Evaluating Multimodal LLMs on Canine-Centric Videos

arXiv:2607.02680v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: MLLMs have shown strong zero-shot capabilities across diverse inputs such as across images, video, audio, and text. A crucial, yet underexplored, application of these models lies in understanding and modeling animal-centric scenarios. As animals are integral to millions of households, benchmarking next-generation AI models on pet-focused tasks, ranging from recognizing distress signals to enabling responsive robotic companions, is essential for building AI systems that can work alongside us. We introduce K9-Bench, a novel benchmark focused on real-world domestic dog videos, specifically targeting canine action and interaction understanding via approximately 5000 question-answer pairs across 907 videos spanning 5 distinct task categories that test long-form, canine-centric multimodal reasoning in MLLMs. To create this dataset, we propose a scalable, VLM/LLM-powered data generation pipeline that automatically mines canine-centric videos from the web and curates QA pairs requiring fine-grained, multi-hop reasoning over canine actions and temporally extended interaction sequences. We implement bias mitigation strategies designed to eliminate biases introduced by VLMs during dataset curation. Through extensive experimentation, we find that frontier MLLMs exhibit limited zero-shot performance on canine-centric tasks: although state-of-the-art closed-source models outperform open-source counterparts, they still struggle with compositional reasoning over subtle posture and interaction cues spread over long horizons. We observe that generic chain-of-thought prompting provides only modest performance for such long-horizon reasoning. Beyond a novel dataset for canine activity analysis, K9-Bench provides a general-purpose dataset construction pipeline that can be adapted to other low-data domains for quantitative analysis.

Aircraft Detection in Satellite Imagery using Deep Learning Object Detectors

arXiv:2607.02699v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The object detection in satellite imagery has garnered considerable attention due to its extensive real-world applications and the inherent challenges it presents, including noise, fluctuating image quality, and intricate backgrounds. This paper proposed a framework for object detection that combines image enhancement and Deep Learning (DL) to make detection more accurate. First, a Gabor filter is used to process the input image to bring out important features and reduce noise. Then, normalization is applied to make sure that the data is evenly distributed so that the model works properly. After that, a model based on YOLOv11 is used to quickly learn and find object features. The proposed method achieves a mAP of 95%, precision of 97%, recall of 85%, and F1-score of 91%, which demonstrates the superior aircraft detection performance. These results show the framework accurately identify aircraft in satellite imagery and is suitable for real-time applications such as surveillance, air traffic monitoring and remote sensing analysis.

EmoteGPT: 3D Human Facial Expressions from Natural Language Descriptions

arXiv:2607.02674v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Precise control of 3D facial expressions from text is crucial for virtual avatars, animation, and human-computer interaction, yet existing text-to-3D methods jointly generate identity, expression, and texture, making fine-grained expression control difficult. We instead formulate text-driven expression synthesis as a regression problem in the disentangled parameter space of a 3D Morphable Model (3DMM). This setting, however, requires paired data linking detailed language to precise expression parameters, which are missing from existing resources. To fill this gap, we introduce Txt2Emote, a benchmark of diverse 3D facial expressions with fine-grained textual annotations obtained from GPT-4o and a high-fidelity face tracker, providing both explicit descriptions detailing facial features and implicit descriptions referencing the situational context behind the expression. Leveraging this dataset, we present EmoteGPT, a text-to-3D expression framework based on a Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) with a dedicated token to semantically ground expression representations, which are then decoded into 3DMM parameters. We further improve EmoteGPT by augmenting training with large-scale image-to-3DMM data, enabling it to surpass state-of-the-art text-to-3D face synthesis methods on emotion recognition metrics and in perceived expressiveness. Integrated into avatar pipelines, our method enables photorealistic and stylized 3D avatars, as well as expressive 3D-consistent 2D face synthesis from textual input.

Privacy-Preserving Industrial Ergonomics: mmWave-Based Automated REBA Scoring and Pose Estimation

arXiv:2607.02611v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) require continuous ergonomic assessments. While Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) is a gold-standard observation tool, manual monitoring is labor-intensive, and vision-based automation leads to privacy concerns. This paper proposes a novel end-to-end multi-task learning framework for privacy-preserving ergonomic assessment using millimetre-wave (mmWave) radar. A spatio-temporal backbone reconstructs 3D human skeletons, which serves as the biomechanical foundation for a subsequent regression head to generate REBA risk scores. To overcome the sparsity of radar point clouds, we utilise a multi-objective loss function incorporating biomechanical limits and temporal smoothness constraints. Furthermore, we implement an oversampling strategy to address the imbalance of high-risk postures in existing datasets. Experimental results on MMFi dataset demonstrate that our framework achieves a Categorical Accuracy of 77.78% and real-time performance with an inference latency of 5.70 ms. Our method reaches a High-risk REBA MAE of 0.93, which significantly outperforms both direct regression and two-stage pipelines in high-risk scenarios, providing a robust solution for non-invasive industrial ergonomic assessment.

Property-Constrained 3D Porous Media Reconstruction from 2D Images via Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks

arXiv:2607.02693v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study presents a conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN) framework for generating 3D porous media volumes with controlled porosity, trained exclusively on 2D thin section images. The key innovation lies in combining property-conditioned generation with 2D-to-3D reconstruction, eliminating the need for expensive 3D training data while maintaining control over petrophysical properties. The framework employs a hybrid architecture with a 3D generator and 2D discriminator, where multi-axis slice extraction enables learning 3D-consistent structures from 2D training data. Porosity labels are extracted using an Enhanced U-Net segmentation model. The methodology was demonstrated on two carbonate samples with different lithologies: dolomite-anhydrite and pure dolomite. Results show that the framework successfully generates realistic 3D volumes capturing lithological features such as anhydrite inclusions and fine crystalline textures. Porosity control achieved an $R^2$ of 0.93, with mean absolute errors of 0.019 and 0.010 for the heterogeneous and homogeneous samples, respectively.

BiSLW: Bi-Spectral Latent Watermarking for Generative Diffusion Models

arXiv:2607.02643v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion-based generative models have transformed visual content synthesis, yet they remain vulnerable to unauthorized usage and lack reliable attribution methods. Existing watermarking techniques often treat latent tensors as static spatial feature maps or depend on pixel-domain modification, and most do not explicitly leverage the internal frequency structure of the latent space for dual-band redundant embedding, leaving them susceptible to the stochastic nature of diffusion and regeneration attacks. We introduce BiSLW, a trainable bi-spectral latent watermarking framework that jointly embeds aligned identity signals across complementary spectral bands of the decoded diffusion latent using learned encoders and decoders, going beyond fixed-pattern frequency approaches. We leverage the inherent frequency structure of diffusion latents to design a dual-band watermarking framework. Low-frequency components encode global semantics, while high-frequency components capture fine texture. We exploit this structure to embed watermarks across complementary spectral bands. The watermark is independently injected into both bands via learned encoders and recombined before decoding, ensuring it becomes intrinsic to the generative trajectory. Dual spectral decoders recover the watermark from each band, while a cross-band consistency constraint enforces alignment between semantic and textural embeddings. Experiments show that BiSLW achieves a strong balance between perceptual fidelity and robustness, improving PSNR by over 3 dB compared to prior latent diffusion watermarking methods while preserving near-perfect bit accuracy under aggressive regeneration and common distortions, all with negligible computational overhead.

CPR: Chained Perceptual Refinement for Coarse-to-Fine Medical Image Classification

arXiv:2607.02591v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High resolution medical images contain fine grained, spatially sparse cues that are critical for diagnosis, yet preserving full resolution incurs substantial computational and memory costs. Most deep models process images uniformly, leading to redundant computation or loss of diagnostic detail under downsampling. We propose Chained Perceptual Refinement, CPR, a coarse to fine framework that formulates medical image analysis as a sequential global to local decision process. Starting from a low resolution global view, CPR dynamically predicts the location and spatial extent of refinement regions, extracts high resolution evidence from the original image, and incrementally integrates it with global context. By keeping the backbone input size fixed while contracting the perceptual field, CPR preserves diagnostic fidelity with constant peak GPU memory. Extensive experiments on five medical imaging datasets and multiple backbone architectures demonstrate that CPR consistently outperforms both fixed resolution and multi scale state of the art baselines, achieving improvements of up to 2.27 percentage points over the second best method. It also achieves up to a 19.6 fold reduction in GFLOPs at matched accuracy, establishing a superior accuracy and efficiency trade off for high resolution medical image analysis.

Interpretable machine learning predicts Parkinson's disease severity using motion-corrected QSM MRI and multiband multiecho fMRI features

arXiv:2607.02553v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Introduction: Objective neuroimaging biomarkers may improve Parkinson's disease motor assessment by capturing brain variation not directly observable from clinical examination. We used interpretable machine learning to predict current motor severity, measured by MDS-UPDRS Part III, from QSM and multiband multi-echo resting-state fMRI-derived ReHo features. Methods: Regional QSM and ReHo features were extracted from 28 participants, including 24 individuals with Parkinson's disease and 4 controls. Thirteen feature-set experiments evaluated imaging-only, clinical-only, imaging-plus-clinical, full, reduced, and multimodal inputs. Support vector regression, Elastic Net, Random Forest, and XGBoost models were trained using nested cross-validation. Performance was assessed using pooled held-out R^2, RMSE, MAE, Pearson correlation, permutation testing, and the proportion of participants predicted within +/-5 MDS-UPDRS Part III points. Results: Imaging-only models carried meaningful predictive signal, whereas the clinical-only model performed weakly. Full fMRI, full QSM, and clinical variables provided the strongest global fit, explaining 45.4% of variance in motor severity. Selected QSM plus clinical variables produced the most clinically close predictions, with 75.0% of participants predicted within +/-5 points and the lowest MAE among top-performing models. SHAP highlighted cerebellar, thalamic, striatal, insular, and motor cortical features. Conclusion: QSM and multiband multi-echo fMRI-derived ReHo capture distinct, interpretable dimensions of Parkinson's disease motor severity. These findings show that structural and functional imaging contribute differently depending on the clinical prediction goal.

CIPHER: Causal Intervention Pathways for Healthcare Equity and Robustness

arXiv:2607.02596v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning models for medical diagnosis frequently exhibit substantial performance disparities across sensitive subgroups (e.g., race, sex), even when average accuracy is high. While generative data augmentation offers a route to mitigate this, existing strategies are suboptimal; they typically address only one or two dependency channels between sensitive attributes and image features. We formalize the medical image formation process via a structural causal model, revealing that sensitive attributes actually influence image content through four distinct pathways-a structural complexity neglected by prior works. Based on this insight, we introduce CIPHER (Causal Intervention Pathways for Healthcare Equity and Robustness), a framework designed to systematically intervene on all four causal paths. To achieve this, CIPHER utilizes a diffusion backbone equipped with classifier-free guidance and null-text inversion. This technical design enables the faithful reconstruction of patient-specific anatomy while allowing for the precise, editable synthesis of counterfactuals required to break sensitive dependency chains. We tested CIPHER using chest X-ray and dermoscopy benchmarks across both standard and shifted data distributions. By employing a multi-pathway intervention strategy, our model reduced worst-group disparities by an average of 35.8% compared to disease-conditioned synthesis baselines, while also improving total diagnostic accuracy

Homer: Understanding Long-form Videos with Hierarchical Memory and Agentic Reasoning

arXiv:2607.02588v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models excel on short clips but struggle on hour-long videos in an online setting, where frames are processed incrementally under limited memory. Existing online methods either retain compact visual representations that lack semantic structure, or build higher-level memory stores organized around temporal proximity rather than explicit causal links, leaving multi-hop narrative reasoning to be reconstructed by the LLM at every query. We bridge this gap with \textsc{Homer}, a Hierarchical Online Memory Exploration and Reasoning framework. \textsc{Homer}'s memory mirrors the multi-scale structure of long videos, ranging from raw perception, to recurring entities, to events connected by explicit temporal and causal relations. Its agentic reasoner then explores this memory the way humans do, locating the relevant scene, looking up details, and composing the answer through multi-round memory retrieval, with a harness that verifies and corrects each step. \textsc{Homer} outperforms the previous best agent method by $+5.5$, $+10.8$, and $+4.4$ points on M3-Bench-robot, M3-Bench-web, and Video-MME-Long, and consistently lifts three various LLM backbones, indicating a model-agnostic structural capability for grounded retrieval over long videos.

An automated method of identifying incorrectly labelled images based on the sequences of loss functions of deep learning networks

arXiv:2607.02594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning is widely applied in medical image analysis, but up to 10% of manually labelled images may be incorrect, degrading model performance. This paper proposes an automated method to identify incorrectly labelled medical images by analyzing sequences of loss functions from deep learning classification networks over multiple training epochs. Identified images can be reviewed and relabelled by experts, improving dataset quality and model performance. Two experiments validate the method on a fundus image dataset for referable diabetic retinopathy screening. In the first, 6% (648) of 10,788 gold-standard labels were intentionally flipped. The method identified 75.31% (488) of the flipped samples, with only 4.85% (492) false positives among correctly labelled samples. In the second, reviewing and correcting the 980 identified samples (9.1% of the dataset) and retraining the model improved best accuracy on an independent test set from 95.93% (with 6% label noise) to 96.50% (with 1.5% noise), approaching the ideal 96.57% (with 0% noise). The results demonstrate the method's effectiveness in improving model performance through automated label quality control.

We propose a reliability-aware framework that converts registration quality into Green/Yellow/Red risk categories using data-learned thresholds. CT images were registered to T1-weighted MRI using rigid and affine transformations on 90 paired slices from 18 patients across brain, abdominal, and neck anatomies. Reliability was assessed using Delta NMI, Delta SSIM, Dice overlap, registration stability, and inverse consistency error, combined into a single score R. Thresholds learned from training patients were applied unchanged to held-out test patients. Affine registration outperformed rigid registration on NMI and SSIM, yielding 44% Green classifications versus 33% for rigid. Reliability-filtered registrations improved the average alignment profile compared with unfiltered methods. Per-anatomy analysis showed substantial variation, with stronger reliability for abdominal registrations than brain registrations. Weight sensitivity analysis identified Dice overlap as the dominant reliability component. The proposed framework provides an interpretable quality-control layer for multimodal registration, while risk thresholds reflect statistical rather than clinical validation.

Evaluating Agentic Harness Systems for Autonomous Computational Pathology

arXiv:2607.02598v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous computational pathology (ACP) converts high-level pathology analysis goals into executable, traceable and clinically bounded workflows. Realizing this capability requires adapting general agentic harness systems to pathology-specific tasks, tools, evidence standards and clinical claim boundaries. We contribute ACP-Bench, a framework that adapts existing harness systems from computational pathology support toward ACP workflow capability. ACP-Bench evaluates 41 pathology workflow tasks, including 24 biomarker, 7 morphology and 10 prognosis tasks spanning 6 body-system groups and 9 endpoint families. The benchmark evaluates 9 models and 3 harness groups (Claude Code, Codex and Open Code), yielding 369 complete trajectories. ACP-Bench evaluates each trajectory across workflow execution, diagnostic performance and clinical-boundary alignment, combining expert-adjudicated process audits, diagnostic assessment and pathologist-validated safety review. Across evaluated systems, workflow initiation, task interpretation and diagnostic reporting were more mature than tool-bound execution, result binding and reflective workflow revision, and formal end-to-end completion remained rare. ACP-Bench provides a reusable standard for auditing whether agentic systems can operationalize pathology workflows before claims of reliable clinical autonomy.

Evaluating Intellectual Property Guardrails of Generative Image Models: A Technical Report

arXiv:2607.02582v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative image models are capable of producing images that bear a strong resemblance to, or replicate, recognizable intellectual property (IP). In this technical report, we present a benchmark and automated evaluation pipeline to test for evidence of IP guardrails in generative image models along with the propensity for these models to generate images with recognizable IP. The IP categories we tested include fictional characters, celebrity likeness, and commercial logos and do not encompass the full range of IP which may be implicated by image generation models. We evaluated fourteen widely used text-to-image models, including three self-hosted open weights models and eleven private models. While all of the private models were observed to refuse generations at some level due to IP guardrails, the frequency of generation refusals varied substantially among models. The refusal rates also varied considerably across the different IP categories tested. Commercial logos were refused least frequently and were successfully generated at the highest rate, on average. Though the rate varies, all models tested readily generated images containing recognizable IP as of March 2026.

Annotating Korean adnominal ending constructions in corpus data: Beyond relative-clause identification

arXiv:2607.03681v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Korean adnominal ending \texttt{ETM} occurs in diverse noun-modifying constructions, including relative-clause-like modifiers, adjectival and copular forms, bound-noun constructions, and lexicalized expressions. This paper argues that \texttt{ETM} is not a direct marker of relative-clause structure, but a morphological exponent shared by several adnominal constructions. We propose a corpus-based typology that distinguishes these constructions using predicate type, auxiliary structure, argument-structural compatibility, head-noun restriction, and lexicalized patterns. We operationalize the typology as a construction-sensitive annotation layer for the KLUE dependency treebank, implemented through an ordered rule-based procedure and evaluated by manual validation. Productive relative-clause-like uses account for 39.4\% of the analyzed instances; the remainder consists mainly of adjectival, copular, bound-nominal, modal, temporal, and collocational constructions. The findings show that Korean relative-clause-like modification cannot be identified from adnominal morphology alone.

CV-DCLR: Causal-Visual Dynamic Label Refinement for Robust Zero-Shot Learning

arXiv:2607.02601v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Zero-Shot Learning (ZSL) facilitates knowledge transfer via shared semantic spaces. However, a critical bottleneck in this paradigm is Semantic Entanglement, where visual representations are inevitably conflated with visually similar semantic concepts, such as distinguishing the intrinsic traits of a Wolf from the shared features of a Husky. Existing global alignment methods often indiscriminately maximize correlations between visual and semantic modalities, leading models to overfit spurious similarities rather than capturing distinctive class identities. To address this fundamental limitation, we propose the Causal-Visual Dynamic Label Refinement (CV-DCLR) framework. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on superficial visual statistics, CV-DCLR recalibrates visual-semantic associations via a Dual-Stream Mutual Correction Mechanism. This includes a Visual Likelihood Stream to model observational patterns and a Causal Importance Stream that verifies the structural necessity of candidate prototypes through Counterfactual Intervention. Acting as a logical filter, our adaptive gating mechanism dynamically modulates feature responses to amplify genuine causal traits while suppressing visually plausible but structurally irrelevant distractors. Extensive experiments on the CUB, SUN, and AWA2 benchmarks under a rigorous Semantic Entanglement Injection protocol demonstrate that CV-DCLR significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in high-ambiguity scenarios. Specifically, while existing models suffer catastrophic degradation under entanglement, our framework maintains robust performance, effectively disentangling true class identities from semantic confounders.

Echoes of Unrest: A Multimodal NLP Framework for Early Warning of Fake News and Violence-Driven Mob Activity

arXiv:2607.02734v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rapid growth in social media has transformed global communication by enabling fast information exchange, but it has also accelerated the spread of misinformation. Fake news, manipulated content, and provocative narratives are increasingly linked to social unrest, political instability, and mob violence. Incidents in South Asia and elsewhere demonstrate how false information disseminated via platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp can trigger real-world harm, often spreading faster than fact-checking efforts can respond. To address this challenge, this chapter presents a multilingual, multimodal Natural Language Processing (NLP) framework for early detection of misinformation and violence-prone dynamics. A fused dataset of 138,256 Bangla and English samples was created by combining multiple benchmark datasets. The framework integrates XLM-RoBERTa for multilingual text representation, CLIP for visual embedding, and a multi-head attention mechanism for multimodal fusion, enhanced with auxiliary features such as sarcasm and geospatial metadata. Experiments on a stratified 30% subset achieved 98% test accuracy with strong precision and recall. The outcomes show the efficacy of multimodal approaches in early misinformation detection and highlight the added value of geospatial signals for anticipating real-world escalation.

From Judgments to Issues: Structured Extraction of Legal Reasoning with Citation-Hallucination Control

arXiv:2607.03325v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present an automated pipeline that decomposes Italian tax-court judgments into individual legal issues and extracts, for each issue, a structured XML representation grounded in the IRAC framework and the legal syllogism. The pipeline targets a corpus of approximately $330{,}000$ first- and second-instance decisions of the Italian tax courts and is built around a capable yet cost-efficient general-purpose model (DeepSeek V3), a choice driven by the need to process several hundred thousand documents at a sustainable cost. To address the well-documented unreliability of large language models on legal citations, we couple the extraction step with an automatic hallucination-detection filter that compares the references produced by the model with those identified in the judgment text by a dedicated parser (Linkoln), normalised to standard identifiers (URN-NIR, ECLI, CELEX). We validate the pipeline on $50$ judgments annotated by two PhDs in tax law, computing inter-annotator agreement and LLM-vs-expert agreement on both issue extraction and legal citations, together with a stand-alone evaluation of the hallucination filter. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first issue-level, expert-validated structured extraction pipeline with hallucination control for Italian tax-court decisions, and it provides a concrete starting point for downstream applications such as issue-level retrieval, citation-network analysis, and the construction of large-scale datasets of legal reasoning.

Jointly Improving Dialect Identification and ASR in Indian Languages using Multimodal Feature Fusion

arXiv:2607.02862v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Dialect Identification (DID) are crucial for Indian languages, many of which are low-resource and exhibit significant dialectal differences. Existing methods often optimize ASR or DID individually, resulting in performance trade-offs. In this work, we propose a multimodal framework that jointly improves ASR and DID. Our method employs a Bottleneck Encoder to extract dialectal features from Conformer-based speech representations and a RoBERTa encoder to process ASR-generated CTC embeddings. A gating mechanism merges these features, followed by an attention encoder to refine the representations. The learned embeddings are concatenated with Conformer outputs to enhance ASR features. Evaluated on eight Indian languages with thirty-three dialects, our method achieves an average DID accuracy of 81.63% and average CER and WER of 4.65% and 17.73%, respectively. These results highlight the effectiveness of our method for joint ASR-DID modeling.
