arXiv:2605.24370v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Behavioral phenotyping of genetic animal models currently requires labor-intensive manual feature engineering that limits reproducibility and scalability. We present GEESE, an end-to-end deep learning framework that learns behavioral representations directly from 3D pose dynamics without hand-crafted features. Using a pretrained time series foundation model, we encode movement sequences into a behavioral manifold that supports both behavior classification and genotype prediction. Evaluated across three autism-associated genetic models (CNTNAP2, CHD8, FMR1), our deep learning approach surpasses hand-crafted feature baselines in both tasks, revealing that learned representations capture genotype-specific behavioral signatures. The framework generalizes across genetic backgrounds, and an all-cohort model identifies both genetic background and genotype from movement patterns alone. We further provide HONK, an interactive intelligent tool enab

arXiv:2605.24004v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are promising for autonomous driving, but semantics-only decision policies can yield physically unsafe behavior in dynamic traffic. Existing methods either perform online language reasoning without explicit dynamics verification or use world models mainly in offline pipelines, leaving a gap between semantic intent and physical feasibility at decision time. We propose Reason--Imagine--Act (RIA), a closed-loop framework that couples an LLM reasoner with an action-conditioned world model for online safety verification. At each step, the LLM proposes an action template and candidate sub-actions, the world model performs short-horizon rollouts, and a safety scorer selects the safest executable action with feedback to the next reasoning step. Under a unified CARLA point-goal protocol (1000 episodes), RIA achieves 80.05% route completion, 51.10% arrival rate, and 0.20% collision rate. Under the same closed-loop int

arXiv:2605.19257v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Monocular SLAM historically suffers from scale ambiguity and tracking failure in dynamic environments. While recent vision foundation models (VFMs) provide remarkable zero-shot depth priors, naively integrating these deterministic predictions ignores predictive uncertainty and frame-to-frame scale inconsistencies. We propose PRISM-SLAM, a real-time framework that rigorously integrates VFM priors into a structured Bayesian factor graph to achieve scale-aware, metric-consistent localization and mapping. Specifically, we introduce a Pl\"ucker Ray-Distance Factor to anchor monocular observations in absolute space within a globally consistent metric coordinate system, mathematically resolving scale drift by making the metric scale Fisher-identifiable. To handle environmental dynamics, we derive an epistemic uncertainty proxy from temporal depth consistency and formulate a Dynamic Scene Uncertainty Gating (DSUG) mechanism. This soft-gating

arXiv:2605.24391v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As the demand for deep learning grows, cost reduction through quantization has become essential for both training and inference. In 2022, the Open Compute Project (OCP) consortium standardized narrow precision formats for deep learning, called the microscaling (MX) format. The MX format is a hardware-friendly dynamic quantization scheme that effectively reduces the data size by sharing an 8-bit exponent across multiple operands. The MX format can be categorized into two types with their own strengths: (i) MXINT which focuses on a high precision consisting only of mantissa bits and (ii) MXFP which focuses on a wider dynamic range by allowing local exponent bits. In this work, we present a versatile MXFP format, called MX-SAFE (MXSF in short), that adaptively uses two modes, i.e., a wider mantissa mode (FP8 E2M5) and a subnormal FP mode (FP5 E3M2), to support both training and direct-cast inference. Furthermore, we propose a tile-based bl

arXiv:2605.25954v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the strong reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs), optimizing the execution efficiency of tensor programs remains challenging due to the need for precise, composable transformation decisions. Recent LLM-guided approaches frame tensor program optimization as an iterative decision process, but existing datasets provide only end-to-end optimized program pairs using token-inefficient representations, lacking verifiable step-level supervision and interpretability. As a result, LLMs struggle to make reliable single-step decisions in large combinatorial optimization spaces. We introduce Step-TP, a post-training dataset for tensor program optimization that provides grounded, atomic, step-level supervision with structured chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning. Step-TP forms a closed reasoning loop over intermediate program states, enabling reliable multi-step optimization rather than outcome imitation. Its design is guided by

arXiv:2605.24973v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: VLM-based OCR models have become the de facto choice for document parsing, as they can accurately extract page-level elements (e.g., paragraphs within individual pages) together with their bounding boxes and textual content. However, downstream applications such as RAG require coherent document-level information, whereas these models often break cross-page continuity and fail to recover disrupted structures, such as paragraphs and tables truncated by page boundaries. Such relationships are not confined to a single page; instead, they require joint analysis of titles, paragraphs, tables, and images spanning multiple pages. A natural solution is therefore to reuse existing OCR outputs and reconstruct document-level logical structures through post-processing. To this end, we propose MinerU-Popo, a lightweight and universal framework for POst-Processing OCR outputs, which converts page-level results from diverse parsers into coherent docume

arXiv:2605.24690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The motion planning problem for robotic manipulation can be addressed through classical or deep learning approaches. Existing methods face significant challenges in generalizing to diverse settings. In this study, we present a method with high generalization capability that generates collision-free trajectories using diffusion models where the denoising process is guided by the gradient of the total collision cost. We are also presenting a dynamic approach for choosing start step of the gradient guidance. Experimental results demonstrate that guiding the diffusion model dynamically with the sum of collision costs offers more robust performance by overcoming the generalization issues faced by competing methods. The proposed model demonstrates its effectiveness by achieving the highest performance on diverse test settings in M$\pi$nets\ dataset among the compared methods.

arXiv:2605.16953v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While AI-generated hallucinations pose considerable risks, the underlying cognitive mechanisms by which humans can successfully recognize or be misled by these hallucinations remain unclear. To address this problem, this paper explores humans' neural dynamics to characterize how the brain processes hallucinated content. We record EEG signals from 27 participants while they are performing a verification task to judge the correctness of image descriptions generated by a multi-modal large language model (MLLM). Based on an averaged event-related potential (ERP) study, we reveal that multiple cognitive processes, e.g., semantic integration, inferential processing, memory retrieval, and cognitive load, exhibit distinct patterns when humans process hallucinated versus non-hallucinated content. Notably, neural responses to hallucinations that were misjudged versus correctly judged by human participants showed significant differences. This in

arXiv:2605.25488v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio-driven talking-head generation has achieved remarkable progress with recent models such as AniTalker, FLOAT, and Sonic. Despite their success, most existing approaches rely on a single static reference image to condition the entire video generation process at inference stage. This static conditioning paradigm often creates a mismatch between fixed identity features and dynamically evolving facial motion, leading to identity drift, temporal inconsistency, and degraded perceptual quality. We introduce Test-Time Self-Adaptive Conditioning (TT-SAC), a parameter-free inference framework that enables pretrained talking-head generators to adapt their conditioning representations during inference without retraining, gradient updates, or additional supervision. Instead of treating the reference portrait as immutable, TT-SAC composes the generator with its encoder in a feedback loop: the generator's own outputs are re-encoded to construct a

arXiv:2605.24883v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The widespread integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) necessitates rigorous and systematic safety evaluation. Existing paradigms either rely on constructed benchmarks to assess safety from predefined perspectives, or employ dynamic red-teaming to probe potential vulnerabilities. While effective, these approaches face challenges, as they depend heavily on expert domain knowledge, offer limited systematic guarantees, and are vulnerable to rapid obsolescence. To address these limitations, we introduce a novel framework POLARIS that brings the rigor of specification-based software testing to AI safety. POLARIS first compiles unstructured natural-language policies into First-Order Logic (FOL) representations, establishing a traceable link between high-level rules and concrete test cases. This formalization enables the construction of a Semantic Policy Graph, where complex policy violation scenarios are encoded as traversable paths. By sys

arXiv:2605.24684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Attributed Graph Learning (MAGL) integrates intrinsic node attributes with structural topology via graph aggregation. However, as pretrained encoders evolve into Large Foundation Models (LFMs), the landscape of MAGL fundamentally shifts: under high-confidence LFM priors, mandatory aggregation introduces topological noise that overwhelms discriminative signals, triggering a counter-intuitive performance inversion where sophisticated MAGL architectures underperform simple topology-agnostic MLPs. Through systematic empirical and theoretical analysis, we identify that this inversion stems from a fundamental aggregation dilemma characterized by two concurrent pathologies: (1) Representational Pathology (SNR Degradation) - mandatory aggregation dilutes robust intrinsic features with topological noise, causing the noise penalty to outweigh its collaborative benefit; and (2) Optimization Pathology (Gradient Starvation) - topological

arXiv:2508.17090v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) studies enable the collection of high-frequency self-reports of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) via smartphones. Latent stochastic differential equations (SDEs) are a promising model class for EMA data, as it is irregularly sampled, noisy, and partially observed. But SDE-based models suffer from two key limitations. (a) These models often violate domain constraints, undermining scientific validity and clinical trust of the model. (b) Training is numerically unstable without ad hoc fixes (e.g. oversimplified dynamics) that are ill-suited for high-stakes applications. Here, we develop a novel class of expressive SDEs whose solutions are provably confined to a prescribed compact polyhedral state space, matching the domains of EMA data. In this work, (1) we show why chain-rule based constructions of SDEs on compact domains fail, theoretically and empirically; (2) we derive constraints on

arXiv:2605.24297v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Two questions regarding practitioners' use of patent embeddings arise: (i) Does one fine-tuning recipe suffice for all downstream applications? (ii) Is fine-tuning on one patent landscape sufficient for downstream application on other landscapes? By evaluating 22 pre-trained embedding models (ranging from 22M to 12B parameters) on three tasks -- information retrieval, classification, and clustering -- on 113,148 WIPO patents for assistive technology (46,069 citation queries) and on an external DAPFAM dataset, we find that two results cast doubt on the prevailing wisdom. (i) The optimal fine-tuning recipe depends on the downstream task: cross-sectional alignment (recipe R3) provides the largest improvements to retrieval performance (+7.1% nDCG@10), whereas a combined signal recipe (recipe R4) is better suited to classification (+7.1 F1) and clustering (+10.9 V-measure); a matched data control confirms that differences in training

arXiv:2605.20749v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Gated Linear Units (GLU) and their variants are widely adopted in modern open-source large language model architectures and consistently outperform their non-gated counterparts, yet the underlying reasons for this advantage remain unclear. In this work, we study GLU by analyzing two-layer networks in the neural tangent kernel (NTK) regime. Our analysis reveals that the GLU structure reshapes the NTK spectrum, leading to a smaller condition number and a more compact eigenvalue distribution. Building on this finding, we further analyze the resulting training dynamics and show how the reshaped spectrum leads to faster convergence of GLU models, including a characteristic loss-crossing phenomenon observed between GLU and non-GLU models. Finally, we empirically observe that GLU has limited impact in reducing the generalization gap on various models, including ViT and GPT-2, suggesting that its primary benefit lies in accelerating opt

arXiv:2507.03159v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present \texttt{MathOptAI.jl}, an open-source Julia library for embedding trained machine learning predictors into a JuMP model. \texttt{MathOptAI.jl} can embed a wide variety of neural networks, decision trees, and Gaussian Processes into a larger mathematical optimization model. In addition to interfacing a range of Julia-based machine learning libraries such as \texttt{Lux.jl} and \texttt{Flux.jl}, \texttt{MathOptAI.jl} uses Julia's Python interface to provide support for PyTorch models. When the PyTorch support is combined with \texttt{MathOptAI.jl}'s gray-box formulation, the function, Jacobian, and Hessian evaluations associated with the PyTorch model are offloaded to the GPU in Python, while the rest of the nonlinear oracles are evaluated on the CPU in Julia. \MathOptAI is available at https://github.com/lanl-ansi/MathOptAI.jl under a BSD-3 license.
