arXiv:2603.29977v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal deep learning for cancer prognosis is commonly assumed to benefit from synergistic cross-modal interactions, yet this assumption has not been directly tested in survival prediction settings. This work adapts InterSHAP, a Shapley interaction index-based metric, from classification to Cox proportional hazards models and applies it to quantify cross-modal interactions […]
Not All News Is Equal: Topic- and Event-Conditional Sentiment from Finetuned LLMs for Aluminum Price Forecasting
arXiv:2603.09085v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: By capturing the prevailing sentiment and market mood, textual data has become increasingly vital for forecasting commodity prices, particularly in metal markets. However, the effectiveness of lightweight, finetuned large language models (LLMs) in extracting predictive signals for aluminum prices, and the specific market conditions under which these signals are most […]
Denoising the Future: Top-p Distributions for Moving Through Time
arXiv:2506.07578v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inference in dynamic probabilistic models is a complex task involving expensive operations. In particular, for Hidden Markov Models, the whole state space has to be enumerated for advancing in time. Even states with negligible probabilities are considered, resulting in computational inefficiency and possibly increased noise due to the propagation of […]
ResAdapt: Adaptive Resolution for Efficient Multimodal Reasoning
arXiv:2603.28610v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) achieve stronger visual understanding by scaling input fidelity, yet the resulting visual token growth makes jointly sustaining high spatial resolution and long temporal context prohibitive. We argue that the bottleneck lies not in how post-encoding representations are compressed but in the volume of pixels the […]
Multi-Level Knowledge Distillation and Dynamic Self-Supervised Learning for Continual Learning
arXiv:2508.12692v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Class-incremental with repetition (CIR), where previously trained classes repeatedly introduced in future tasks, is a more realistic scenario than the traditional class incremental setup, which assumes that each task contains unseen classes. CIR assumes that we can easily access abundant unlabeled data from external sources, such as the Internet. Therefore, […]
Which Similarity-Sensitive Entropy (Sentropy)?
arXiv:2511.03849v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Shannon entropy is not the only entropy that is relevant to machine-learning datasets, nor possibly even the most important one. Traditional entropies such as Shannon entropy capture information represented by elements’ frequencies but not the richer information encoded by their similarities and differences. Capturing the latter requires similarity-sensitive entropy (“sentropy”). […]
Multi-Agent Memory from a Computer Architecture Perspective: Visions and Challenges Ahead
arXiv:2603.10062v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As LLM agents evolve into collaborative multi-agent systems, their memory requirements grow rapidly in complexity. This position paper frames multi-agent memory as a computer architecture problem. We distinguish shared and distributed memory paradigms, propose a three-layer memory hierarchy (I/O, cache, and memory), and identify two critical protocol gaps: cache sharing […]
ContractSkill: Repairable Contract-Based Skills for Multimodal Web Agents
arXiv:2603.20340v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-generated skills for web agents are often unstable and can even hurt performance relative to direct acting. We argue that the key bottleneck is not only skill generation quality, but the fact that web skills remain implicit and therefore cannot be checked or locally repaired. To address this, we present […]
KEditVis: A Visual Analytics System for Knowledge Editing of Large Language Models
arXiv:2603.29689v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate exceptional capabilities in factual question answering, yet they sometimes provide incorrect responses. To address this issue, knowledge editing techniques have emerged as effective methods for correcting factual information in LLMs. However, typical knowledge editing workflows struggle with identifying the optimal set of model layers for […]
TTA-DAME: Test-Time Adaptation with Domain Augmentation and Model Ensemble for Dynamic Driving Conditions
arXiv:2508.12690v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Test-time Adaptation (TTA) poses a challenge, requiring models to dynamically adapt and perform optimally on shifting target domains. This task is particularly emphasized in real-world driving scenes, where weather domain shifts occur frequently. To address such dynamic changes, our proposed method, TTA-DAME, leverages source domain data augmentation into target domains. […]
Evaluation of Generative Models for Emotional 3D Animation Generation in VR
arXiv:2512.16081v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Social interactions incorporate nonverbal signals to convey emotions alongside speech, including facial expressions and body gestures. Generative models have demonstrated promising results in creating full-body nonverbal animations synchronized with speech; however, evaluations using statistical metrics in 2D settings fail to fully capture user-perceived emotions, limiting our understanding of model effectiveness. […]
AVA-Bench: Atomic Visual Ability Benchmark for Vision Foundation Models
arXiv:2506.09082v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The rise of vision foundation models (VFMs) calls for systematic evaluation. A common approach pairs VFMs with large language models (LLMs) as general-purpose heads, followed by evaluation on broad Visual Question Answering (VQA) benchmarks. However, this protocol has two key blind spots: (i) the instruction tuning data may not align […]
