arXiv:2509.23413v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-task neural routing solvers have emerged as a promising paradigm for their ability to solve multiple vehicle routing problems (VRPs) using a single model. However, existing neural solvers typically rely on predefined problem constraints or require per-problem fine-tuning, which substantially limits their zero-shot generalization ability to unseen VRP variants. To address this critical bottleneck, we propose URS, a unified neural routing solver that achieves zero-shot generalization across a wide range of unseen VRPs with a single model. We propose a unified data representation (UDR) that replaces problem enumeration with data unification, thereby broadening the problem coverage and reducing reliance on domain expertise. In addition, we introduce a Mixed Bias Module (MBM) during encoding to improve node embeddings, which efficiently captures multiple priors inherent to various problems. On top of the UDR, we develop a problem-con

arXiv:2605.23910v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Information fusion is used widely to improve document classification by the integration of multiple data sources (multimodal) or representations (multiview). However, the field lacks a unified framework, a quantitative synthesis of its effectiveness, and clear guidance for practitioners. This systematic review addresses these gaps by analysing 139 primary studies. It introduces a formal framework to structure the field, presents the results of a qualitative analysis to identify key trends, and performs a random-effects meta-analysis (to our knowledge, the first focused on document classification) to quantify performance gains. Our meta-analysis reveals that multimodal fusion improves accuracy (mean gain of +5.28 percentage points, $p=0.0016$) significantly -- the F1-score effect is directionally positive but statistically non-significant in our primary model. Multiview fusion provides consistent but modest gains for accuracy (+4

arXiv:2602.16229v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Learning latent actions from action-free video has emerged as a powerful paradigm for scaling up controllable world model learning. Latent actions provide a natural interface for users to iteratively generate and manipulate videos. However, most existing approaches rely on monolithic inverse and forward dynamics models that learn a single latent action to control the entire scene, and therefore struggle in complex environments where multiple entities act simultaneously. This paper introduces Factored Latent Action Model (FLAM), a factored dynamics framework that decomposes the scene into independent factors, each inferring its own latent action and predicting its own next-step factor value. This factorized structure enables more accurate modeling of complex multi-entity dynamics and improves video generation quality in action-free video settings compared to monolithic models. Based on experiments on both simulation and real-world mult

arXiv:2605.25129v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models have shown promise in learning to solve constraint optimization problems. However, they are mostly restricted to problems with binary variables and rely on graph neural networks, hindering their application to a broader range of problems such as those with general discrete variables or constraint structures that necessitate global rather than local reasoning. We investigate the use of Diffusion Transformers to address the aforementioned limitations. A naive implementation performs poorly due to a fundamental mismatch between the standard diffusion process and constraint solving: while the former applies small, incremental denoising across all variables, the latter requires substantially altering specific subsets of variables to attain feasibility or optimality. Our method, Blocked Gibbs Diffusion Transformer (BloGDiT), is the first to address this limitation by replacing standard joint Gaussian denoising with blocked Gaus

arXiv:2605.23935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agent systems fail not only due to incorrect decisions, but due to executing decisions whose authority no longer holds at runtime. Prior work defined Reconstructive Authority (RAM) as a condition for valid execution: actions are permitted only if authority can be constructed from current state. This paper addresses enforcement at runtime: how to enforce this condition in a running system. We introduce a runtime execution model in which authority is evaluated at action time and execution is conditioned on its constructibility. This extends the execution state space beyond admit/deny with a third state, halt, representing cases where authority is undefined due to incomplete or uncertain observability. We define a concrete execution protocol including dynamic dependency resolution, authority reconstruction, and explicit decision semantics. We further introduce a Recovery Loop that integrates drift detection (IML) with execution co

arXiv:2605.24775v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Operating LLMs as coordinated multi-agent research systems over multi-hour runs surfaces failure modes that single-shot evaluation cannot: upstream providers throttle without warning, sub-agents drift the task to fit accessible tools, narrate machinery instead of using it, open revision iterations with self-apology, or treat upstream context as executable directives. We present PRIMA, whose primary contributions are three operational patterns for surviving these failure modes: (1) a resilience-and-recovery layer that detects upstream rate-limit signals, persists a typed pause record to disk, and resumes long-running runs without re-executing converged work even across process restarts; (2) a sub-agent operating discipline encoding task-fidelity, tool-use, revision, and inter-step context-boundary norms as a structural prompt layer; (3) a multi-phase application pattern for structured engineering deliverables pairing orthogonal draft steps

arXiv:2605.25495v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Robotic perception in unstructured environments remains challenging despite the zero-shot capabilities of foundation models such as SAM. This work attributes performance degradation to non-uniform representation shifts across transformer layers: shallow layers exhibit substantial domain gaps (CKA < 0.5), whereas deep layers transfer effectively (CKA > 0.7). Based on this observation, we propose RepSAM, a representation-guided parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) framework for adapting foundation models to robotic vision. RepSAM employs a theoretically grounded CKA-guided rank allocation strategy combined with a multi-modal fusion module for robust handling of challenging robotic scenarios, including transparent objects and cluttered scenes. Experimental evaluation across six benchmarks and robotic manipulation tasks demonstrates that RepSAM achieves 97.9% of full fine-tuning performance (89.0% vs. 90.9% mIoU) while reducing trainable pa

arXiv:2602.17658v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reward modeling is central to alignment pipelines such as RLHF, RLAIF, and PPO-based policy optimization, yet its reliability is constrained by limited and heterogeneous human preference data that are expensive to collect at scale. While synthetic augmentation can expand preference supervision, existing methods often augment uniformly or at the representation level, without targeting examples where the reward model is uncertain or prone to mis-ranking. In this paper, we introduce MARS (Margin and Semantic-Aware Data Augmentation for Reward Modeling), an adaptive augmentation framework that prioritizes low-margin preference pairs and uses semantic distance as a second layer for refinement to enhance the contrast between the chosen and rejected responses. Across multiple preference datasets, reward-model backbones, downstream alignment settings, and benchmarks including RewardBench and AlpacaEval, MARS improves both reward-model q

arXiv:2605.24675v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Translating text embedded in Web images is crucial for improving content accessibility and cross-lingual information retrieval, particularly within social media and e-commerce domains. Although Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have advanced multimodal understanding, applying them to Web image translation remains challenging due to the visual representation gap: standard encoders often prioritize high-level semantics over the fine-grained visual details required for recognizing diverse character morphologies. To address this challenge, we propose VaaWIT, an end-to-end framework that adapts Large Language Models for multilingual Web image translation. The framework introduces two key technical contributions: (1) a Dual-Stream Attention Module (DSAM), which facilitates bidirectional interaction between multilingual semantic features and detailed visual representations, thereby synthesizing unified features robust to textual variations;

arXiv:2509.25507v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: How can we generate samples from a conditional distribution that we never fully observe? This question arises across a broad range of applications in both modern machine learning and classical statistics, including image post-processing in computer vision, approximate posterior sampling in simulation-based inference, and conditional distribution modeling in complex data settings. In such settings, compared with unconditional sampling, additional feature information can be leveraged to enable more adaptive and efficient sampling. Building on this, we introduce Conditional Generator using MMD (CGMMD), a novel framework for conditional sampling. Unlike many contemporary approaches, our method frames the training objective as a simple, adversary-free direct minimization problem. A key feature of CGMMD is its ability to produce conditional samples in a single forward pass of the generator, enabling practical one-shot sampling with lo

arXiv:2602.09620v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Constraint Answer Set Programming (CASP) is a hybrid paradigm that enriches Answer Set Programming (ASP) with numerical constraint processing, a crucial requirement for many real-world applications. However, the specification of constraints in most CASP solvers aligns more closely with the expressiveness and semantics of the numerical back-end than the ASP paradigm. In the latter, numerical attributes are represented as predicates, which allows declaring default values, leaving the attribute undefined, making non-deterministic assignments with choice rules, or using aggregated values. In CASP, most (if not all) of these features are lost once we switch to a constraint-based representation of those same attributes. In this paper, we present the flingo language (and tool) that incorporates the aforementioned expressiveness within numerical constraints, and we illustrate its use with several examples. Based on previous work that establis

arXiv:2605.18916v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We investigate Counterfactual Video Foley Generation, which aims to adopt a sound-source identity that contradicts the visual evidence while remaining temporally synchronized to a silent video. Existing Video&Text-to-Audio (VT2A) models struggle with this, often remaining anchored to the visually implied sound source when video and text contents disagree. We present ConterFlow, an inference-time dual-phase sampling scheme for pretrained flow-matching VT2A models. Phase 1 builds a video-derived temporal structure while suppressing the visually implied source; Phase 2 drops video conditioning to focus entirely on shaping audio timbre toward the target prompt. ConterFlow substantially improves counterfactual Video Foley generation compared to naive negative prompting and state-of-the-art baselines. To evaluate replacement quality, we propose a metric leveraging a text-audio co-embedding space to measure both target-prompt evidence

arXiv:2603.10250v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A commonly used family of RL algorithms for diffusion policies conducts softmax reweighting over samples from the behavior policy, which often induces an overgreedy policy and fails to utilize feedback from negative samples. In this work, we introduce GeMPO, a simple and unified framework that generalizes reweighting scheme in diffusion RL from softmax to general monotonic functions. GeMPO revisits diffusion RL via a measure matching perspective: First, we construct a virtual target policy measure via solving a regularized policy optimization objective; Second, we minimize the divergence between the current policy and this target measure through reweighted flow matching. This formulation offers two key advantages: i) It extends weight design beyond traditional exponential reweighting, allowing it to be tailored to diverse reward landscapes; and ii) by relaxing the non-negativity constraint on the target measure, our framework provides

arXiv:2605.24238v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we advocate for incorporating enactive approaches to perception and cognition into artificial intelligence (AI). Enactive approaches view perception as an active, skillful engagement with the world, where agents perceive by acting and by understanding how their actions shape their experience. This contrasts with classical views that treat perception as a passive internal process in which the brain receives sensory input, processes it, and issues commands for action. Enactive views emphasize the dynamic, embodied, and interactive character of perception, grounded in the lived experience of agents embedded in their environments. We identify and develop four key enactive concepts that we find most relevant to AI: experience, action perception inseparability, autonomy, and embodiment. Much of mainstream AI, from classical rule based systems to large language models, has largely neglected these insights, treating cognition as in

arXiv:2605.20278v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long-form image captioning exposes a reward granularity problem in RL: captions are judged as whole sequences, while the important errors occur at the level of individual visual claims. A good dense caption should be both faithful and informative, avoiding hallucination without omitting salient details. Yet pairwise preferences, reference-based metrics, and holistic scalar rewards compress these local errors into a single sequence-level signal, obscuring the tradeoff between factuality and coverage. We introduce ClaimDiff-RL, a framework that uses reference-conditioned atomic claim differences as the reward unit for caption RL. Given an image, an actor caption, and a reference caption, a multimodal judge enumerates visually grounded differences, verifies each difference against the image, assigns open-vocabulary error types and severity levels, and produces per-difference statistics for reward composition. This makes hallucinate
