arXiv:2605.23717v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autonomous landing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles on maritime vessels is challenging due to the coupled motion of the vehicle and landing platform in open-sea conditions. This paper presents a reinforcement-learning-based approach for autonomous multirotor landing on moving maritime platforms without requiring explicit platform-state observations or estimation during deployment. The proposed method uses multirotor state measurements together with local visual features, consisting of keypoints and associated descriptors extracted from the landing surface, to predict attitude and thrust commands. These commands are tracked by a conventional low-level controller. The policy is trained in simulation using synthetic keypoints with randomly generated normalized descriptors, enabling zero-shot deployment with different local feature extractors onboard the UAV. We evaluate the method in a realistic simulator and show that it outperforms a state-

arXiv:2605.23056v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Virtual Reality (VR) services delivered over 6G networks demand ultra-low latency and high bandwidth to ensure seamless user experiences. This paper presents an intelligent resource allocation and edge caching framework for 6G O-RAN networks, leveraging Deep Q-Network (DQN) learning for optimizing edge caching and dynamic resource provisioning across multiple network slices within an O-RAN-compliant architecture. By incorporating DRL agents into the network control plane, the proposed system enables proactive and adaptive content distribution as well as real-time computational resource allocation that meets the quality-of-service demands of eMBB, URLLC, and especially the emerging MBRLLC slices essential for VR. Simulation results demonstrate that the DQN-based framework consistently outperforms traditional methods in reducing latency and improving throughput, leading to more reliable and responsive support for immersive VR applications

arXiv:2605.23145v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Individual fairness, the notion that "similar individuals should be treated similarly," provides a strong and flexible fairness guarantee for algorithmic decision makers. However, a barrier to implementing individual fairness in practice is the difficulty of learning the similarity metric over individuals. In this work, we present an algorithm for learning a Mahalanobis similarity metric from triplet queries of the form "is individual $i$ more similar to individual $j$ or $k$?" We work in the standard Bradley-Terry model for pairwise comparisons. Our algorithm consists of a spectral initialization step followed by gradient descent. We provide extensive theoretical guarantees on our algorithm, showing that it converges quickly to the ground truth metric despite the non-convexity of the loss in our model. Because our focus is on fairness, we also show that individual fairness with respect to an estimated metric is sufficient to achieve si

arXiv:2604.24594v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) evolve into agentic problem solvers, they increasingly rely on external, reusable skills to handle tasks beyond their native parametric capabilities. In existing agent systems, the dominant strategy for incorporating skills is to explicitly enumerate available skills within the context window. However, this strategy fails to scale: as skill corpora expand, context budgets are consumed rapidly, and the agent becomes markedly less accurate in identifying the right skill. To this end, this paper formulates Skill Retrieval Augmentation (SRA), a new paradigm in which agents dynamically retrieve, incorporate, and apply relevant skills from large external skill corpora on demand. To make this problem measurable, we construct a large-scale skill corpus and introduce SRA-Bench, the first benchmark for decomposed evaluation of the full SRA pipeline, covering skill retrieval, skill incorporation, and end-tas

arXiv:2605.23847v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large behaviour models have transformed the field of robotic manipulation, but prohibitive data requirements have thus far prevented a revolution similar to vision language models. We believe that instrumentation, i.e. sensor integration in objects, can provide invaluable state information and enable efficient learning for robotic manipulation. In this paper, we present instrumented imitation learning of clothes hanger insertion. Using 180 teleoperated demonstrations, we train diffusion policies with and without access to instrumentation data. Results show that policies leveraging instrumentation outperform vision-only counterparts by 14-25 %pt and exhibit greater task awareness. Crucially, a black-box imitation learning policy learns to prioritise instrumentation signals without explicit guidance. In addition, enhancing the teleoperation dataset with rollouts from an instrumented expert policy, enables a vision-only student policy to ach

arXiv:2605.23472v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision foundation models pretrained on web-scale data have recently shown strong transfer capabilities on many downstream tasks, but their effectiveness for industrial visual inspection remains unclear. Industrial data differ substantially from web-data and often require fine-grained dense prediction, raising the question of whether modern self-supervised pretraining can improve over the conventional transfer-learning paradigm based on supervised ImageNet initialization. In this work, we compare ConvNeXt backbones pretrained with supervised ImageNet classification or DINOv3 distillation, and relate them to the conventional ResNet-50 baseline. We evaluate semantic segmentation, instance segmentation, and object detection across four downstream datasets spanning RGB surface-defect inspection and X-ray defect detection. We further study both frozen and fully finetuned adaptation regimes. Our results show that DINOv3 offers no clear advantage

arXiv:2602.05126v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV) status is a critical determinant of prognosis and treatment response in head and neck and cervical cancers. Although attention-based multiple instance learning (MIL) achieves strong slide-level prediction for HPV-related whole-slide histopathology, it provides limited morphologic interpretability. To address this limitation, we introduce Concept-Level Explainable Attention-guided Representation for HPV (CLEAR-HPV), a framework that restructures the MIL latent space using attention to enable concept discovery without requiring concept labels during training. Operating in an attention-weighted latent space, CLEAR-HPV automatically discovers keratinizing, basaloid, and stromal morphologic concepts, generates spatial concept maps, and represents each slide using a compact concept-fraction vector. CLEAR-HPV's concept-fraction vectors preserve the predictive information of the original MIL embeddings while reducin

arXiv:2605.22857v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-resolution range profile (HRRP)-based radar automatic target recognition suffers from severe performance degradation in composite jamming environments. Active jamming introduces suppression- and deception-related components into the received range profile. After pulse compression, these components are coupled with target echoes in the HRRP domain, making target-related scattering peaks difficult to distinguish and weakening feature separability. To address this problem, this paper proposes JointHRRP-Net, a unified framework for joint target-jamming recognition. A statistically constrained decoupling module is first developed to generate target-dominant and jamming-dominant latent branches from the mixed HRRP representation. Correlation-guided statistical constraints are imposed to suppress redundant cross-branch information and alleviate target-jamming feature entanglement. A multi-scale temporal encoding module is then designed to

arXiv:2605.17212v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A unified framework for learning under covariate shift is presented, in which a constrained density-ratio network approximates the Radon-Nikodym derivative $r^\star = dP/dQ$ and feeds an anytime PAC-Bayes generalization certificate. A change-of-measure identity decomposes the gap between target risk and importance-weighted source risk into a ratio-bias term governed by $\|r_\theta - r^\star\|_{L^2(Q)}$ and a generalization-gap term governed by the variability of the weighted loss. Normalization and moment-matching identities are enforced as hard integral constraints through an augmented-Lagrangian scheme, with a second-moment penalty controlling the effective sample size. PAC-Bayes is instantiated on the weighted risk in a fixed-time regime that yields Bernoulli-KL bounds, identifies the network-weighted Gibbs posterior as the unique KL-regularized minimizer, and quantifies stability under $L^2(Q)$ perturbations of the learned ratio,

arXiv:2605.17770v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The advancement of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) has catalyzed a paradigm shift from reactive ``fast thinking'' text generation to systematic, step-by-step ``slow thinking'' reasoning, unlocking state-of-the-art performance in complex mathematical and logical tasks. However, the field faces \textit{the fundamental gap between token-level behavioral analysis and internal reasoning mechanisms, and the instability of reinforcement learning (RL) for reasoning optimization relying on costly external verifiers}. We identify and formally define \textbf{Entropy-Gradient Inversion}, a robust negative correlation between token entropy and logit gradients that acts as a definitive geometric fingerprint for LRM reasoning capability. Building on this, we propose \textbf{Correlation-Regularized Group Policy Optimization (CorR-PO)}, which embeds this inversion signature into RL reward regularization. Extensive experiments on various reasoning benchm

arXiv:2605.23603v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce the Preisach Attention Layer (PAL), a novel sequence modelling architecture grounded in the classical Preisach hysteresis operator from mathematical physics. PAL replaces the softmax attention mechanism with a binary relay operator parameterised by learned activation and deactivation thresholds, maintaining a stack of local extrema as its internal state. A single-layer PAL-Transformer with O(1) depth is Turing-complete under arbitrary precision arithmetic, achievable through simulation of a two-stack pushdown automaton -- in contrast to the O(log n) depth required by standard hard-attention transformers. Second, we prove that the function classes computable by PAL and by the transformer are incomparable: PAL computes historical range statistics in O(1) layers that require O(log n) layers for transformers, while transformers support random-access retrieval that PAL cannot perform without auxiliary state. The separating prope

arXiv:2605.23350v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous exploration of multi-floor buildings remains challenging for ground robots because conventional 2D and 2.5D maps cannot represent overlapping traversable surfaces such as stairs, ramps, and multiple reachable elevations. This letter presents a multi-floor exploration framework based on an incremental reachable graph. Built as a sparse graph over reachable support surfaces, the graph preserves potentially valid connectivity through tentative graph elements under sparse observations and enables stable, physically reachable frontier detection. To guide exploration beyond the currently mapped floor, we project task-zone priors from an explored floor to initialize a hypothetical graph on the target floor and reconcile it incrementally with incoming observations. A hierarchical planner then jointly reasons over confirmed and hypothetical structures for global guidance. In simulation, the proposed method demonstrates improved explorat

arXiv:2605.23510v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When learning dynamical systems from data, embedding physical structure can constrain the solution space and improve generalization, but many physics-informed models assume access to the full system state. This limits their use in partially observed settings, where some state variables are completely unobserved and must be inferred without direct supervision. Here, we present neural Hamiltonian ordinary differential equations (NHODE), a framework that combines Hamiltonian neural networks (HNNs) with neural ordinary differential equations (neural ODEs) to learn partially observed dynamical systems from data. The Hamiltonian structure enforces energy conservation by construction, while the neural ODE framework enables a flexible training procedure that allows the loss to be defined only on observed variables. We also incorporate additional physical constraints through symmetry-aware coordinate transformations and separable energy formulatio

arXiv:2605.22997v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In autonomous driving, mapping is critical for motion planning but remains an under-utilized resource for perception tasks such as 3D object detection. Maps can provide robust structural priors of the static environment, helping resolve ambiguities and correct for sensor data sparsity or noise, especially for distant objects or under adverse weather conditions. However, conventional High-Definition (HD) maps are resource-intensive to obtain and maintain, which presents a challenge for efficient, large-scale deployment. In this paper, we propose a scalable solution to systematically leverage mapping to improve 3D detection by overcoming two primary challenges. First, we introduce a pipeline to automatically build dense mapping priors from aggregated sensor data, eliminating the need for human labeling. Second, we design a novel Mapping Priors Augmented 3D Detection (MPA3D) framework to effectively integrate mapping priors with different se

arXiv:2605.22902v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative Vision-Language Models (VLMs) perform well on multimodal reasoning, but how visual inputs are transformed to text remains poorly understood. Existing interpretability work on VLMs uses Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs), which decompose static residual representations and miss the functional updates that drive cross-modal interaction. We adopt a function-centric framework based on Transcoders, sparse approximations of MLP sublayers that act as a causal proxy for layer-wise computation. Applied to Gemma 3-4B-IT, the framework decomposes the model into interpretable computational pathways linking image patches to directions in token generation. Transcoder attributions produce stronger and more stable effects on visually grounded tokens under patch ablation than SAE attributions, and align better with semantically relevant image regions. A False Visual Grounding counterfactual analysis confirms that the recovered pathways are specific t
