arXiv:2512.15534v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Discrete dynamical models underpin systems biology, but we still lack substrate-agnostic diagnostics for when such models can sustain genuinely open-ended evolution (OEE): the continual production of novel phenotypes rather than eventual settling. We introduce a simple, model-independent metric, Omega, that quantifies OEE as the residence-time-weighted average of attractor cycle lengths […]
Early Exiting Predictive Coding Neural Networks for Edge AI
arXiv:2309.02022v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Internet of Things is transforming various fields, with sensors increasingly embedded in wearables, smart buildings, and connected equipment. While deep learning enables valuable insights from IoT data, conventional models are too computationally demanding for resource-limited edge devices. Moreover, privacy concerns and real-time processing needs make local computation a necessity […]
Streaming 4D Visual Geometry Transformer
arXiv:2507.11539v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Perceiving and reconstructing 3D geometry from videos is a fundamental yet challenging computer vision task. To facilitate interactive and low-latency applications, we propose a streaming visual geometry transformer that shares a similar philosophy with autoregressive large language models. We explore a simple and efficient design and employ a causal transformer […]
Past, Present, and Future of Bug Tracking in the Generative AI Era
arXiv:2510.08005v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional bug-tracking systems rely heavily on manual reporting, reproduction, classification, and resolution, involving multiple stakeholders such as end users, customer support, developers, and testers. This division of responsibilities requires substantial coordination and human effort, widens the communication gap between non-technical users and developers, and significantly slows the process from bug […]
InfiniteVL: Synergizing Linear and Sparse Attention for Highly-Efficient, Unlimited-Input Vision-Language Models
arXiv:2512.08829v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly tasked with ultra-long multimodal understanding. While linear architectures offer constant computation and memory footprints, they often struggle with high-frequency visual perception compared to standard Transformers. To bridge this gap, we introduce textbfInfiniteVL. We first develop a hybrid base model called textbfInfiniteVL-Base that interleaves a small […]
Understanding vs. Generation: Navigating Optimization Dilemma in Multimodal Models
arXiv:2602.15772v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Current research in multimodal models faces a key challenge where enhancing generative capabilities often comes at the expense of understanding, and vice versa. We analyzed this trade-off and identify the primary cause might be the potential conflict between generation and understanding, which creates a competitive dynamic within the model. To […]
Inducing Sustained Creativity and Diversity in Large Language Models
arXiv:2603.19519v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We address a not-widely-recognized subset of exploratory search, where a user sets out on a typically long “search quest” for the perfect wedding dress, overlooked research topic, killer company idea, etc. The first few outputs of current large language models (LLMs) may be helpful but only as a start, since […]
Heracles: Bridging Precise Tracking and Generative Synthesis for General Humanoid Control
arXiv:2603.27756v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Achieving general-purpose humanoid control requires a delicate balance between the precise execution of commanded motions and the flexible, anthropomorphic adaptability needed to recover from unpredictable environmental perturbations. Current general controllers predominantly formulate motion control as a rigid reference-tracking problem. While effective in nominal conditions, these trackers often exhibit brittle, non-anthropomorphic […]
Mind the Gap: A Framework for Assessing Pitfalls in Multimodal Active Learning
arXiv:2603.29677v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal learning enables neural networks to integrate information from heterogeneous sources, but active learning in this setting faces distinct challenges. These include missing modalities, differences in modality difficulty, and varying interaction structures. These are issues absent in the unimodal case. While the behavior of active learning strategies in unimodal settings […]
DIAL: Decoupling Intent and Action via Latent World Modeling for End-to-End VLA
arXiv:2603.29844v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The development of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models has been significantly accelerated by pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs). However, most existing end-to-end VLAs treat the VLM primarily as a multimodal encoder, directly mapping vision-language features to low-level actions. This paradigm underutilizes the VLM’s potential in high-level decision making and introduces training instability, frequently […]
Interview-Informed Generative Agents for Product Discovery: A Validation Study
arXiv:2603.29890v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance on standardized social science instruments, but their value for product discovery remains unclear. We investigate whether interview-informed generative agents can simulate user responses in concept testing scenarios. Using in-depth workflow interviews with knowledge workers, we created personalized agents and compared their evaluations […]
Rethinking AI Literacy Education in Higher Education: Bridging Risk Perception and Responsible Adoption
arXiv:2603.29935v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As AI becomes increasingly embedded across societal domains, understanding how future AI practitioners, particularly technology students, perceive its risks is essential for responsible development and adoption. This study analyzed responses from 139 students in Computer Science, Data Science/Data Analytics, and other disciplines using both explicit AI risk ratings and scenario-based […]
