arXiv:2607.06196v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current AI safety evaluation and benchmarking frameworks predominantly rely on Western-centric culture-agnostic defaults that mask critical regional laws, socio-linguistic nuances, and cultural taboos, leaving Vision-Language Models (VLMs) vulnerable in global deployments. We introduce Pluralis v0.1: a novel multimodal, multi-regional, and multilingual dataset built from a culture-first perspective. Spanning 6,448 prompts across six Asia-Pacific countries (Bangladesh, India, Korea, Pakistan, Singapore, Taiwan) and eight languages, Pluralis diverges from prior work by natively sourcing localized safety hazards rather than adapting Western datasets. Crucially, it introduces a multimodal evaluation paradigm: user text (e.g., "Should I gift this?") and an image referring to "this" (e.g., a clock) - both innocuous in isolation, but synergistically triggering specific legal or cultural violations. Pluralis disentangles universal safety violations from localized cultural appropriateness, establishing the latter as a first-class evaluation axis. To operationalize this, we present Judge-Pluralis, an agreement-gated LLM-as-a-Judge ensemble trained on examples classified in an empirically derived cultural taxonomy. Observing VLM behavior on a subset of the Pluralis surfaces recurring, locale-specific failure modes such as image misidentifications with downstream harm, missed item-context-locale interactions, and inadequate refusals. These failure modes vary systematically across locales and languages, exposing blind spots that globally averaged metrics conceal. Ultimately, Pluralis is not presented as a solved evaluation framework for cultural alignment, but rather as a first step and catalyst for future innovation. We call upon the research community to utilize this foundation to advance the science of multilingual, multicultural evaluation to better support AI cultural alignment globally.

arXiv:2607.06535v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A learning-enabled disturbance-rejection framework based on a Neural Extended State Observer (Neural-ESO) is presented in this letter. Unlike existing learning-based control methods that largely rely on the learned model once deployed, Neural-ESO adopts a dual-pathway architecture: a predictive pathway uses a neural network to provide a feedforward disturbance estimate that accelerates convergence, while a corrective pathway employs a conventional ESO to compensate prediction errors and prevent over-reliance on the neural component. Using Lyapunov theory and a small-gain analysis, we show that enforcing a Lipschitz bound on the learning component guarantees uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop error dynamics. The proposed framework is validated on a quadrotor landing task subject to strong ground-effect disturbances across normal and out-of-distribution scenarios, demonstrating accuracy-robustness trade-off and greater operational reliability during training, deployment, and transfer compared with state-of-the-art baselines.
arXiv:2607.05437v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce the mmatrix toolbox, a Matlab software package for componentwise accurate computations with M-matrices described through left or right triplet representations. The core of the toolbox is a Fortran implementation, in the Lapack style, of the unblocked, recursive, and blocked versions of the GTH algorithm and its applications for the accurate computation of the solution of linear systems with M-matrix coefficient and nonnegative right-hand side, the LU factorization of an M-matrix and its inverse. These algorithms avoid subtractive cancellation; this property ensures high componentwise accuracy even for ill-conditioned problems. The toolbox contains also accurate algorithms for related problems, such as computing the Schur complement, the singular values, the square root of an M-matrix, and the solution of nonsymmetric algebraic Riccati equations associated with M-matrices. The Matlab interface is based on an object-oriented implementation allowing one to use standard Matlab operations on M-matrices with triplet representation.
arXiv:2607.05481v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Detection models running in adversarial environments face a malicious distribution that drifts rapidly while the benign distribution stays comparatively stable, so teams retrain and redeploy constantly to stay ahead of new threats. Retraining tends to change the output prediction scores, which breaks downstream users of the model. For these security-oriented models we need consistent false-positive rate (FPR) across all output values, whereas standard probability-calibration methods target class probability rather than an FPR contract. We introduce a method built on top of existing calibration primitives that targets the whole FPR curve, giving scores a consistent FPR meaning across deployments. On one held-out split, the observed relative FPR error was at most 2.3% from 10% down to 0.1% FPR and 7.2% at 0.01% FPR. The shipped artifact remains under 200 KB in measurements across calibration sets from 1K to 10M benign samples.
arXiv:2607.06532v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) instances used for solver development are hard to obtain when models come from private or application-specific pipelines. A generator must keep the structure that solvers and learned policies rely on. Existing general generators usually choose their generation unit from a formulation template, summary statistics, local graph edits, or blocks found after recombination. These units do not explicitly record how a local part of the MILP is coupled to the rest of the instance. We propose GraphBU, a graph-native generator whose basic unit is a local subproblem plus its interface. The method promotes coupling nodes into master constraints or boundary variables and uses the resulting block units for compatibility-checked replacement. The analysis focuses on the properties needed by this construction: promotion separates interfaces, replacement can preserve feasibility under an interface-slack condition, and the graph construction is invariant to row-column permutations. On MILP instances generation, this unit keeps graph statistics close to the source family, preserves feasibility on most datasets, and improves downstream Predict-and-Search training. Genrated by GraphBU, The average graph-statistical similarity was approximately 0.934, the average feasibility was approximately 96.7%, and the average increase in the main index of downstream PS was approximately 8.0%.
arXiv:2607.05605v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the rapid advancement of image generation technologies, perceptual quality assessment of AI-generated images has emerged as a crucial research direction in computer vision. The core challenge of this task lies in achieving efficient quality assessment for massive generated images. Current mainstream approaches exhibit two key limitations: 1) Methods employing complex feature extraction strategies, while improving performance, incur prohibitive computational costs that hinder real-time inference; 2) Simple image scaling-based solutions, despite their computational efficiency, demonstrate significantly inferior assessment accuracy. To address this critical issue, we propose Patch Knowledge Transfer (PKT), a knowledge distillation-based optimization framework that achieves synergistic optimization of visual representation capability and inference efficiency through an innovative multi-level knowledge transfer mechanism. Specifically, we design a dual-model architecture: a teacher model with local-global hybrid processing provides high-quality supervision signals, while a student model relying solely on global processing efficiently inherits the teacher's representation capacity through multi-level supervision. Extensive experiments conducted on 4 AIGIQA databases demonstrate that the PKT framework enables the student model to maintain performance comparable to the teacher while reducing computational costs by 67.7\%. Furthermore, compared to existing methods, our approach achieves a superior balance between model efficiency and assessment accuracy.
arXiv:2607.05613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical care often relies on key laboratory indicators, yet real-world patient visits are sparse and tests are ordered irregularly, leading to pervasive missingness. While many imputation methods improve average accuracy, they provide limited guidance on which imputed values are reliable enough for high-stakes downstream use. In this work, we study reliable clinical imputation, aiming to produce accurate imputations while selectively releasing the reliable results, with statistical control over clinically unacceptable errors. To achieve this goal, we propose SafeImpute, a reliable imputation framework for irregular and sparse clinical longitudinal records. SafeImpute constructs an event graph that captures both intra-patient temporal trajectories and inter-patient clinical similarity, and learns imputations with a two-relation GNN and adaptive fusion, regularized by an auxiliary masked reconstruction objective. For reliability guarantees, SafeImpute converts a proxy risk score into conformal p-values and applies the Benjamini--Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate (FDR) of unacceptable errors among released imputations at a user-specified tolerance. Experiments on our Mayo Clinic data, the public MIMIC-III and MIMIC-IV datasets show that SafeImpute achieves strong imputation accuracy while providing reliable error control, outperforming diverse baselines in both standard imputation evaluation and FDR-controlled selective-release evaluation.
arXiv:2603.04024v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Ambiguous 3D medical image segmentation often involves boundaries where different expert delineations are non-identical yet clinically plausible. Modeling such inter-observer variability requires a careful balance between diversity and anatomical fidelity: deterministic models preserve coherent volumetric structures but collapse expert disagreement into a single mask, while stochastic generative models can produce diverse samples but may introduce disconnected components or slice-to-slice inconsistency when generating full 3D masks from unstructured noise. We propose Volumetric Directional Diffusion (VDD), a prior-anchored diffusion framework that shifts stochastic generation from full-mask synthesis to residual boundary exploration. VDD uses a coarse consensus prediction as an anatomical anchor and learns a directional diffusion process to generate plausible boundary variations around ambiguous regions while preserving stable volumetric topology. Experiments on three multi-rater datasets, including LIDC-IDRI, KiTS21, and ISBI 2015, show that VDD improves uncertainty distribution alignment while maintaining competitive segmentation accuracy and 3D structural consistency. These results suggest that prior-anchored residual diffusion can model clinically plausible expert disagreement without sacrificing anatomical fidelity.
arXiv:2603.14033v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Audio anti-spoofing systems are typically trained to assign one authenticity label to an entire speech utterance. This formulation becomes under-specified for transformations where the underlying speaker identity and linguistic content remain unchanged. We study this problem using benign, authenticity-preserving speech transformations, including voice quality conversion and speech restoration, applied to both bona fide and spoofed speech. Instead of treating all processed audio as spoofed, we factorise labels into source authenticity and processed status. Across SSL representations and DF-Arena fine-tuning experiments, we find that utterance processing status can transfer more reliably than source attribution: detectors can often identify that speech has been processed, while still confusing processed bona fide and processed spoofed speech. These results suggest that audio deepfake defences must move beyond the binary spoofed/authentic paradigm. Robust detection requires granular reporting on source authenticity, processing status, and precise processing localisation.
arXiv:2603.15600v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Accurate process supervision remains a critical challenge for long-horizon robotic manipulation. A primary bottleneck is that current video MLLMs, trained primarily under a Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) paradigm, function as passive "Observers" that recognize ongoing events rather than evaluating the current state relative to the final task goal. In this paper, we introduce PRIMO R1 (Process Reasoning Induced Monitoring), a 7B framework that transforms video MLLMs into active "Critics". We leverage outcome-based Reinforcement Learning to incentivize explicit Chain-of-Thought generation for progress estimation. Furthermore, our architecture constructs a structured temporal input by explicitly anchoring the video sequence between initial and current state images. Supported by the proposed PRIMO Dataset and Benchmark, extensive experiments across diverse in-domain environments and out-of-domain real-world humanoid scenarios demonstrate that PRIMO R1 achieves state-of-the-art performance. Quantitatively, our 7B model achieves a 50% reduction in the mean absolute error of specialized reasoning baselines, demonstrating significant relative accuracy improvements over 72B-scale general MLLMs. Furthermore, PRIMO R1 exhibits strong zero-shot generalization on difficult failure detection tasks. We establish state-of-the-art performance on RoboFail benchmark with 67.0% accuracy, surpassing closed-source models like OpenAI o1 by 6.0%.
arXiv:2607.05830v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing uncertainty from flexible demand and renewable generation has made distributionally robust optimization (DRO) an important tool for robust power system dispatch. DRO relies on forecast scenarios to construct ambiguity sets, but conventional scenario generation pipelines are often trained in an accuracy-oriented manner and may neglect spatial correlations among uncertainties. This mismatch can produce ambiguity sets that are statistically plausible but suboptimal for downstream operation. This work proposes a decision-focused generative framework for correlated scenario generation in DRO-based dispatch. Instead of training generative models solely to fit the historical uncertainty distribution, the proposed framework optimizes generated scenarios according to their induced downstream operational cost. The proposed framework is tailored to mainstream generative models, including variational autoencoders, generative adversarial networks, and diffusion models, while capturing the joint distribution of uncertainties across buses. To improve computational tractability, we further develop a differentiable scenario selector that selects decision-relevant scenarios from a generated pool and can be trained within the same decision-focused pipeline. Case studies demonstrate that the proposed framework effectively reduces 0.80%-2.02% operational cost across different generative models compared to accuracy-oriented methods.
arXiv:2603.23471v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI agents -- systems that can independently take actions to pursue complex goals with only limited human oversight -- have entered the mainstream. These systems are now being widely used to produce software, conduct business activities, and automate everyday personal tasks. While AI agents implicate many areas of law, ranging from agency law and contracts to tort liability and labor law, they present particularly pressing questions for the most globally consequential AI regulation: the European Union's AI Act. Promulgated prior to the development and widespread use of AI agents, the EU AI Act faces significant obstacles in confronting the governance challenges arising from this transformative technology, such as performance failures in autonomous task execution, the risk of misuse of agents by malicious actors, and unequal access to the economic opportunities afforded by AI agents. We systematically analyze the EU AI Act's response to these challenges, focusing on both the substantive provisions of the regulation and, crucially, the institutional frameworks that aim to support its implementation. Our analysis of the Act's allocation of monitoring and enforcement responsibilities, reliance on industry self-regulation, and level of government resourcing illustrates how a regulatory framework designed for conventional AI systems can be ill-suited to AI agents. Taken together, our findings suggest that policymakers in the EU and beyond will need to change course, and soon, if they are to effectively govern the next generation of AI technology.
arXiv:2603.24690v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In-context learning (ICL) enables fast task adaptation from demonstrations without per-task parameter updates but remains highly sensitive to example selection and formatting. In unified multimodal models spanning understanding and generation, this sensitivity is exacerbated by cross-modal interference and varying cognitive demands. Consequently, in-context learning efficacy is often non-monotonic and highly task-dependent. To diagnose these behaviors, we introduce a six-level Capability-Oriented Taxonomy that categorizes the functional role of demonstrations from basic perception to high-order discernment. Guided by this cognitive framework, we construct UniICL-760K, a large-scale corpus featuring curated 8-shot in-context learning episodes across 15 subtasks, alongside UniICL-Bench for rigorous, controlled evaluation. We show that this data-driven assembly is the primary source of our gains. As a complementary, lightweight stabilizer, we additionally propose the Context-Adaptive Prototype Modulator, a plug-and-play module that further improves few-shot stability. Evaluations on UniICL-Bench show that our approach yields highly competitive unified results, outperforming larger-parameter multimodal large language model baselines on most understanding in-context learning tasks. Data and code are available at https://github.com/xuyicheng-zju/UniICL.
arXiv:2603.26419v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Planetary magnetospheres exhibit diverse environments where Ultra-low frequency (ULF) pulsations induce nonlinear ponderomotive effects. Since suprathermal populations modeled by Kappa distributions are ubiquitous in these regions, their significant influence on the ponderomotive force (PF) induced by electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves must be accounted for. We investigate field-aligned plasma density redistribution driven by the PF of traveling EMIC waves across different planetary magnetospheres. We apply a generalized slow-time-scale force balance equation to model stationary density solutions in low-beta plasmas ($\beta \ll 1$) with isotropic Kappa distributions. To enable systematic comparison, wave modulation is described using the WKB approximation in a dipole magnetic field, neglecting first-order curvature effects. The plasma response varies significantly with magnetospheric parameters: decreasing the kappa parameter and increasing plasma beta counteract plasma accumulation towards the equator. In low-beta environments, non-thermal effects substantially reduce the nonlinear response to short-period pulsations, though preserving the qualitative behavior of Maxwellian models. Furthermore, we characterize how the critical parameter governing the phase transition between equatorial density minima and maxima depends on the specific combination of plasma beta, kappa, and L-shell. Our study demonstrates that non-thermal plasma properties are a governing factor in field-aligned density redistribution driven by ULF waves, highlighting the necessity of incorporating them to accurately model ponderomotive phenomena across multifaceted planetary magnetospheres.
arXiv:2603.28553v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Instructional alignment, the match between intended cognition and enacted activity, is central to effective instruction but hard to operationalize at scale. We examine alignment in cybersecurity simulations using multimodal traces from 23 teams (76 students) across five exercise sessions. Study 1 codes objectives and team emails with Bloom's taxonomy and models the completion of key exercise tasks with generalized linear mixed models. Alignment, defined as the discrepancy between required and enacted Bloom levels, predicts success, whereas the Bloom category alone does not predict success once discrepancy is considered. Study 2 compares predictive feature families using grouped cross-validation and l1-regularized logistic regression. Text embeddings and log features outperform Bloom-only models (AUC~0.74 and 0.71 vs. 0.55), and their combination performs best (Test AUC~0.80), with Bloom frequencies adding little. Overall, the work offers a measure of alignment for simulations and shows that multimodal traces best forecast performance, while alignment provides interpretable diagnostic insight.
arXiv:2604.00421v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layers increase model capacity by activating only a small subset of experts per token, and typically rely on a learned router to map hidden states to expert assignments. In this work, we ask whether a dedicated learned router is strictly necessary for MoE routing. We propose Self-Routing, a parameter-free routing mechanism that uses a designated subspace of the token hidden state directly as expert logits, eliminating the router projection entirely while leaving the rest of the MoE layer unchanged. We evaluate Self-Routing on language modeling across different expert counts and model scales, and on ImageNet-1K classification by comparing it against a standard learned router, random-routing baselines, and dense non-MoE baselines. Our results show that Self-Routing remains competitive with the learned-router baseline while removing all dedicated routing parameters, and yields more balanced expert utilization, with about 17 % higher average normalized routing entropy and no explicit load-balancing loss. On ImageNet-1K with DeiT-S/16, Self-Routing also slightly improves over the corresponding learned-router MoE. These findings suggest that effective MoE routing can emerge from the hidden representation itself without requiring a separate learned router module.
arXiv:2604.00860v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement learning has become a central post-training paradigm for improving LLM and agent capabilities. Yet existing RL post-training methods share a common blind spot: they construct local learning signals from sampled trajectories, rewards, or feedback-conditioned targets, then update the policy without explicitly verifying whether the resulting policy outperforms its predecessor. Optimizing these local signals does not necessarily produce a better policy, while finite sampling, generation stochasticity and feedback noise can further widen this gap. We argue that the missing ingredient is policy improvement feedback: the ability to measure progress across policy iterations. We introduce Policy Improvement Reinforcement Learning (PIRL), which formulates inter-iteration performance gain as an explicit objective structurally aligned with final task performance. Building on PIRL, we propose Policy Improvement Policy Optimization (PIPO), a plug-in closed-loop framework that verifies the previous update against a sliding-window historical performance anchor. PIPO uses this improvement feedback to modulate the local learning signal of the base policy optimization algorithm, reinforcing updates associated with measured progress and suppressing those associated with performance drops. We provide theoretical evidence that PIPO locally aligns policy updates with the PIRL improvement objective. Experiments on mathematical reasoning, code, tool-use, and self-distillation settings show that PIPO yields consistent gains across PPO, group-relative, and self-distillation policy optimization families.
arXiv:2508.02440v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We design and analyse a new numerical method to solve ODE system based on the structural method. We compute approximations of solutions together with its derivatives up to order $K$ by solving an entire block corresponding to $R$ time steps. We build the physical relations that connect the function and derivative approximations at each time step by using the ODE and its derivatives, and develop the structural equations that establish linear relations between the function and its derivative over the whole block of $R$ times steps. The non-linear system is solved and provide very accurate approximations with nice spectral resolution properties.
arXiv:2604.01800v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In incompressible flow simulations, non-uniform grids efficiently capture localized flow features; however, their spatially varying resolutions severely exacerbate computational complexity. The pressure Poisson equation (PPE) formulated on these grids yields highly complex linear systems, forming the primary computational bottleneck in fractional step method. To address this, we develop an extended hybrid framework tailored for non-uniform Cartesian grids, integrating deep learning with classical iterative solvers to accelerate PPE solutions. Specifically, the framework employs a deep operator network with a U-Net-based branch network. To effectively capture spatially varying resolutions, we propose a multi-level distance vector map construction strategy that computes discrete grid-spacing information corresponding to each hierarchical level of the U-Net. This grid-spacing information is explicitly fused into feature maps prior to convolution operations. Empowered by this grid-spacing-aware architecture, the framework seamlessly extends to simulate flows interacting with solid structures using a decoupled immersed boundary projection method. By training exclusively on fabricated linear systems rather than conventional flow-dependent datasets, the model generalizes effortlessly across diverse immersed obstacle geometries with fixed network weights. Benchmark results demonstrate that the framework significantly outperforms standalone preconditioned conjugate gradient methods and its standard convolution counterpart, underscoring its exceptional potential for real-world computational fluid dynamics applications.
arXiv:2607.06258v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Is word acquisition in children uneven with respect to semantic and lexical categories? To answer this question, we model early language learning as a search on a graph-based mental lexicon, driven by two interacting processes: spreading activation and an enforced exploration (rather than exploitation) of lexical categories. We evaluate model performance on four languages (German, English, Dutch, and Rioplatense Spanish), using CDIs as ground-truth data for lexical categories, normative ages derived from the Wordbank repository, and state-of-the-art resources for reconstructing graphs of word similarities. We find that spreading activation outperforms a shortest path baseline in simulating normative word acquisition. At the category level, we highlight complex transitions between CDIs. By studying their sequences in terms of burstiness and average persistence time within the same CDI, we find that spreading activation better captures the exploration dynamics observed empirically. Overall, our findings suggest that vocabulary development can be understood through the non-trivial interplay between activation dynamics and some degree of constraints regulating the visiting of lexical categories in complex networks.
arXiv:2607.06297v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current human-machine collaboration (HMC) systems rely on environment-facing sensors to observe visible actions and scene states, but the internal perceptual, intention-related, and state-related processes of operators remain insufficiently integrated into machine perception. Electroencephalography (EEG) provides a non-invasive, time-resolved modality to capture neural activity associated with these processes and can serve as an additional sensing channel in HMC. However, HMC-relevant EEG evidence is often mixed in continuous recordings. Existing EEG decoding methods usually target task-specific classification or aggregate prediction, so multiple HMC-relevant readouts are rarely organized in a unified EEG representation. To address this gap, this paper proposed the Decomposed-Source Multi-Task Network (DS-MTNet), a structured multi-task EEG decoding framework. DS-MTNet integrated three streams, namely EEG waveforms, task-routed source embeddings, and temporal-spectral power features, into reusable slots and used dual gating mechanisms to route task-specific components. The model was tested on a sustained-attention driving EEG dataset with three representative readouts: lane-departure-related epochs for environmental-event processing, steering-response stage for response preparation, and reaction-time-defined alertness state for internal state. DS-MTNet achieved the best mean performance among traditional, single-task deep, and multi-task EEG baselines, with the most robust gains observed for steering-response stage decoding. Ablation and interpretability analyses suggested that DS-MTNet jointly decoded multiple readouts and organized event-related, response-related, and state-related EEG evidence in a unified source-slot representation. These findings provide a computational step toward incorporating operator-related neural evidence into machine perception in HMC.
arXiv:2607.06380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Characterization of the decomposition products of energized Criegee intermediates is essential for assessing their impact on the chemical evolution of the atmosphere. Here, a generic and microscopically resolved approach is used to determine the molecular fragmentation pathways and products for CF$_3$CHOO. They include, among others, direct formation of CO$_2$ + CHF$_3$ (HFC-23), HF + CO$_2$ + CF$_2$, and fragmentation routes that are not evident from static reaction path calculations alone. The computed probability for formation of HFC-23 of 14 \% qualitatively agrees with a value of $(7.9^{+0.4}_{-0.2})$ \% from recent measurements, given the differences in the two approaches. Non-statistical dynamics is found for almost all decomposition pathways and the simulations show that excess energy can redirect reaction outcomes away from minimum-energy pathways. The results highlight the power of machine-learned PESs to elucidate multi-step reaction mechanisms of atmospherically relevant intermediates beyond traditional Master equation/electronic structure approaches to provide molecular-level understanding of the role of dynamics.
arXiv:2607.06306v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated growing competence in web page generation. However, existing text-driven approaches rely on complex prompts that impose substantial demands on users and offer limited expressivity for page layout and cross-page visual coherence. Image-driven paradigms, which take UI screenshots as input, align more closely with real development workflows. However, current benchmarks focus primarily on visual fidelity and lack a systematic evaluation of the interaction capabilities in generated artifacts. To address this gap, we introduce UI2App, the first benchmark targeting interaction inference, the ability to recover application behavior from screenshots alone, without any textual or behavioral guidance. UI2App comprises 327 screenshots grouped into 45 state-coherent screenshot sets for runnable multi-route web applications. We design an end-to-end pipeline that evaluates each artifact along four dimensions: executability, navigation reachability, visual fidelity, and interaction inference. The interaction metric (IIS) assesses inferred interactions by functional correctness and state-management complexity, crediting any valid implementation rather than matching a single reference. Experiments on six frontier vision-language models reveal a marked capability mismatch between visual reconstruction and interaction realization: the visual-fidelity leader scores only 7.5 on IIS, ranking fourth and trailing the IIS leader by 5.2x. High-complexity interactions such as cross-page state remain a pervasive bottleneck, with half of the evaluated models scoring exactly zero on this dimension. Overall, the results indicate that inferring complete interaction behavior from static screenshots remains a key challenge for models.
arXiv:2607.06309v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate breast cancer classification from mammography requires effective integration of complementary information from craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views, which provide a more complete characterization of breast abnormalities. However, existing multi-view learning approaches typically rely on feature-level aggregation or single-stage cross-attention, which can entangle view-specific and shared representations and restrict interaction to limited network depths. To address these limitations, we propose a token-centric dual-view learning framework that unifies prompt-based adaptation and cross-view fusion within a frozen vision transformer backbone. The framework reformulates inter-view interaction as structured token-level communication, where dedicated fusion tokens explicitly encode bidirectional information exchange between CC and MLO views via cross-attention, serving as intermediate carriers of cross-view dependencies rather than relying on direct feature fusion. Unlike conventional methods that apply fusion at a single layer, fusion modules are inserted at multiple transformer depths, enabling progressive and repeated interaction across the encoder hierarchy. Fusion tokens are reintegrated into the token sequence and refined by subsequent transformer layers, facilitating hierarchical propagation of complementary information while preserving view-specific structure. Experiments on VinDr-Mammo and CMMD datasets demonstrate consistent improvements over linear probing, prompt-only adaptation, and conventional fusion baselines. On the VinDr-Mammo BI-RADS classification task, the framework achieves 50.40% F1-score and 0.8090 AUC, including a 0.10 AUC improvement over a dual-view fusion baseline in the binary setting. Ablation studies further validate the effectiveness of token-based fusion and multi-depth interaction design.
arXiv:2607.05967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper introduces, analyzes, and applies variants of the enumeration framework symmetric lexicographic symmetric-subset reverse search for the enumeration of symmetric feasible subsets of a finite set up to symmetry. The framework is implemented in detail for three applications: cocircuits, circuits, and triangulations of int configurations. There are two new methods presented and analyzed to check the lexicographic minimality of a subset in its orbit: the critical-element method and the modified switch-table method. Moreover, new application-dependent methods to reduce the number of necessary enumeration nodes are introduced: rank-pruning for cocircuits and lex-pruning for triangulations. With a C++-implementation of the ideas in the software package TOPCOM, in all three applications known benchmarks can be computed faster by a large margin. The following new numbers could be computed for the first time (among others): the number of cocircuits of the 9-cube, the number of circuits of the 8-cube, and the number of all triangulations of the product of a 5- and a 3-simplex, as well as the number of all triangulations of a point configuration in dimension six with 17~points with disconnected flip-graph (constructed by Santos). Moreover, for Santos's triangulation it has computationally been checked that its flip-graph component is indeed purely non-regular. Furthermore, in another instance in dimension five with 26 points (also constructed by Santos), a flaw has been detected: Santos's triangulation can be heuristically flipped to a regular triangulation in the original point configuration. In a mildly modified version of the point configuration, the heuristics cannot flip Santos's triangulation to a regular triangulation anymore.
