arXiv:2605.26567v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) encode evidence-based decision logic that clinicians apply by evaluating patient variables, conditional criteria, and recommendation rules. However, existing methods often use CPGs as free-text training data or retrieval sources, underutilizing their procedural decision structure. To better exploit this structure, we introduce a guideline-derived training pipeline that […]
Model Merging on Loss Landscape: A Geometry Perspective
arXiv:2605.26693v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Model merging offers a promising avenue for knowledge integration and parallel development without retraining. Yet, existing methods either ignore the geometry of the loss landscape or rely on intractable full-space Hessian approximations. We propose EpiMer, a framework that casts model merging as solving the Fr’echet mean on a Riemannian manifold […]
RulePlanner: All-in-One Reinforcement Learner for Unifying Design Rules in 3D Floorplanning
arXiv:2601.22476v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Floorplanning determines the coordinate and shape of each module in Integrated Circuits. With the scaling of technology nodes, in floorplanning stage especially 3D scenarios with multiple stacked layers, it has become increasingly challenging to adhere to complex hardware design rules. Current methods are only capable of handling specific and limited […]
Measuring Prediction Uncertainty in Neural Cellular Automata
arXiv:2605.26726v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural cellular automata (NCA) provide a lightweight alternative to encoder-decoder segmentation networks. However, it can be difficult to decide when a prediction should be trusted. Here, we study uncertainty estimation for NCA-based medical image segmentation without modifying the underlying architecture or retraining the model. Our approach is motivated by viewing […]
AGORA: Adapter-Grounded Observation-Action Retention for Inference-Free Prompt Compression in LLM Agents
arXiv:2605.26596v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The token-level extractive compressors widely used for general LM context are structurally inappropriate for LLM agents: across 17 (env, backbone, method) cells spanning two independent token-level method families, every cell collapses to mean reward <= 0.05 despite 1.3-13.3x realized compression. We name and characterize this failure mode as action-grammar destruction […]
Biophoton Emission from Palm during Meditation: A Multi-Method Complexity Analysis
arXiv:2605.26758v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biophotons are ultra-weak photon emissions in the visible spectrum produced by living organisms. While extensively studied in plants, germinating seeds, and cell cultures, no systematic multi-method complexity analysis of human ultraweak photon emission (UPE) under physiological modulation has been reported. We address this gap by applying a comprehensive analytical framework […]
Phase-Type Variational Autoencoders for Heavy-Tailed Data
arXiv:2603.01800v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Heavy-tailed distributions are ubiquitous in real-world data, where rare but extreme events dominate risk and variability. However, standard Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) employ simple decoder distributions, such as Gaussian distributions, that fail to capture heavy-tailed behavior, while existing heavy-tail-aware extensions remain restricted to predefined parametric families whose tail behavior is fixed […]
Ratio-Variance Regularized Policy Optimization
arXiv:2605.26784v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard on-policy reinforcement learning relies on heuristic clipping to enforce trust regions, but this mechanism imposes a severe cost by indiscriminately truncating high-return yet high-divergence updates. We demonstrate that explicitly constraining the policy ratio variance provides a principled local approximation to trust-region constraints, eliminating the need for binary hard clipping. […]
FAST-GOAL: Fast and Efficient Global-local Object Alignment Learning
arXiv:2605.26615v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models such as CLIP have shown impressive capabilities in aligning images and text, but they often struggle with lengthy and detailed text descriptions due to pre-training on short and concise captions. We present FAST-GOAL (Fast and Efficient Global-local Object Alignment Learning), an efficient fine-tuning method that enhances ability of […]
HTMLCure: Turning Browser Experience into State Guided Repair for Interactive HTML
arXiv:2605.26807v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs can now produce full HTML pages, but many of those pages are only superficially correct: they render once, then fail under scroll, hover, click, resize, or gameplay. Evaluation from screenshots can miss these failures, and filtering discards many pages that are still repairable. We introduce HTMLCure, a browser experience […]
Alignment Makes Language Models Normative, Not Descriptive
arXiv:2603.17218v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Post-training alignment optimizes language models to match human preference signals, but this objective is not equivalent to modeling observed human behavior. We compare 120 base-aligned model pairs on more than 10,000 real human decisions in multi-round strategic games – bargaining, persuasion, negotiation, and repeated matrix games. In these settings, base […]
Unified Panoramic Geometry Estimation via Multi-View Foundation Models
arXiv:2605.26368v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Geometry estimation from perspective images has greatly advanced, maturing to the point where off-the-shelf foundation models are able to reconstruct 3D scene structure not only from multi-view imagery, but even from a single view. A natural extension is 3D reconstruction from panoramas, with the exciting prospect of recovering a full […]
