arXiv:2504.03635v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reasoning is a core capability of language models (LMs), yet it remains unclear how much model capacity is necessary to support reasoning during pretraining. In this work, we study the minimal parameter budget required for implicit reasoning, defined as the ability to infer new facts from learned knowledge without explicit […]
ViVa: A Video-Generative Value Model for Robot Reinforcement Learning
arXiv:2604.08168v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models have advanced robot manipulation through large-scale pretraining, but real-world deployment remains challenging due to partial observability and delayed feedback. Reinforcement learning addresses this via value functions, which assess task progress and guide policy improvement. However, existing value models built on vision-language models (VLMs) struggle to capture temporal […]
Small Language Model Agents Enable Efficient and High-Quality Knowledge Mining
arXiv:2510.01427v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: At the core of Deep Research is knowledge mining, the task of extracting structured information from massive unstructured text in response to user instructions. Large language models (LLMs) excel at interpreting such instructions but are prohibitively expensive to deploy at scale, while traditional pipelines of classifiers and extractors remain efficient […]
Iterative AI-guided optimisation of selective triple-drug combinations for breast cancer
arXiv:2606.06562v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalised cancer therapy aims to tailor treatment to individual tumour profiles, yet tumour heterogeneity and adaptive resistance continue to limit clinical efficacy. Drug combinations offer a strategy to overcome resistance by simultaneously targeting multiple pathways, but their rational design is constrained by the vast combinatorial search space and experimental cost. […]
Don’t Pause: Streaming Video-Language Synchrony for Online Video Understanding
arXiv:2606.06991v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Online Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs) have advanced toward seamless human-AI interaction through frame-by-frame processing and proactive responding. However, a critical challenge remains in streaming scenarios: existing models typically pause video perception while generating responses, breaking real-time video-language synchrony and causing stutters. To address this, we introduce a novel paradigm […]
SCALE: Scalable Cross-Attention Learning with Extrapolation for Agentic Workflow Scheduling
arXiv:2606.06820v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic Large Language Model (LLM) systems decompose complex tasks into workflow Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) whose primitives must be scheduled on heterogeneous clusters. Existing deep reinforcement learning (DRL) schedulers are tied to a fixed cluster size and require retraining whenever the number of servers changes. We propose SCALE (Scalable Cross-Attention […]
MotionEnhancer: Leveraging Video Diffusion for Motion-Enhanced Vision-Language Models
arXiv:2606.06853v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The new era has witnessed a remarkable capability to extend Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for tackling tasks of video understanding. While current VLMs excel at event- or story-level understanding, their ability to capture fine-grained motion details remains limited, primarily due to their focus on high-level static semantic structures and macro-event logic. […]
Does Topic Sentiment Cause Perceived Ideology? Comparing Human and LLM Annotations in Political News Articles
arXiv:2606.06715v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We ask whether topic sentiment has a causal effect on perceived political ideology, and whether the answer depends on who assigns the ideology label. Using articles from AllSides, paired with shared sentiment annotations from Llama-3.3-70b-versatile, we compare ideology labels from expert human annotators, GPT-4o-mini (baseline and finetuned), and Llama-3.3-70B. We […]
Optimal Rates for Generalization of Gradient Descent Methods with Deep Neural Networks
arXiv:2606.06764v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent progress has been made in understanding the statistical generalization performance of gradient descent methods for overparameterized neural networks within the neural tangent kernel (NTK) regime. However, most of the existing work on regression problems is limited to shallow network architectures, leaving a notable gap in the theory of deep […]
CARVE-Q: Quantum-Proposed, Classically Certified Interactive Driving Repair
arXiv:2606.06531v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The critical question after a correct driving veto is not only whether a maneuver is unsafe, but whether the blocked interaction admits a lawful, auditable, and responsibility-bounded repair. Prediction and game-theoretic planners can suggest plausible cooperation, yet they do not return a proof that the repair respects hard rules, right-of-way, […]
Scale When Needed: Adaptive Neuron-level Mixed Precision Quantization Aware Training
arXiv:2605.25054v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying deep neural networks on resource-constrained 6G edge devices demands aggressive compression with minimal accuracy loss. Quantization-Aware Training (QAT) has emerged as a leading compression approach; however, existing mixed-precision methods typically operate at coarse layer- or channel-level granularity. These methods often rely on heuristic or search-based bit-allocation strategies, which may […]
Impact of Synthetic Lesional MR Images in Automated Focal Cortical Dysplasia Detection in Low-Data Scenarios
arXiv:2606.07381v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Background and Purpose: Automated detection of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) requires large volumes of voxelwise lesion-delineated MRI data, which are difficult to acquire. This study aims to generate synthetic MRI data exhibiting FCD, assess their realism, and evaluate their impact on automated FCD detection, particularly in reducing the need for […]
