UrbanGround: From Local Perception to Spatial Agency in a Real-Scale City

Tianjie Ju, Zheng Wu, Yueqing Sun, Yuhan Cui, Bobo Li et al.

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can interpret a street view, but urban agency depends on whether such local evidence remains useful after the agent starts to move. In this paper, we investigate how far current MLLM agents can turn local urban perception into reliable action in a complicated real-scale city. We propose UrbanGround, the first sandbox to make this question testable in a phys...

Reconstructing Humans and Objects in Interaction using Large Reconstruction Models

Agniv Chatterjee, Georgios Pavlakos

Estimation of Human-Object Interactions in 3D (3D HOI) is a fundamental problem in 3D computer vision with applications in AR/VR, robotics, and embodied AI. However, reconstructing these interactions in 3D remains challenging due to depth ambiguities, occlusions, and object shape variability. Existing approaches are primarily concerned with reprojection and contact constraints, fitting parametric ...

Not All Eval-Awareness Is Equal: Capabilities Framing Predicts Compliance

Allison Zhuang, Santiago Aranguri

Steering interventions targeting eval-awareness, a model's recognition that it is being tested, are increasingly used in safety evaluation pipelines, where evaluation-awareness is treated as a single quantity to be suppressed. We show that verbalized eval-awareness in chain-of-thought can be identified as capabilities-flavored ("the user is testing my ability to follow instructions"), safety-flavo...

A Point-of-Prescription Safety-Check System for Adverse Drug Reactions in Rural Bangladeshi Hospitals: A Feasibility Study

Shahir Abdullah

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a major, largely preventable source of patient harm. In high-income settings, electronic health records store a patient's allergy history and warn prescribers when a contraindicated drug is ordered; in rural Bangladeshi public hospitals no such record exists for outgoing patients, a single physician may see on the order of one patient per minute, and a patient's h...

Calibrated Enough to Know, Not Calibrated to Act: Fabricated Evidence Makes LLM Agents Commit to the Unknowable

Pranav Aggarwal

An LLM agent shown a professional-looking market panel commits to a directional call on a provably unpredictable question far more often than one asked the bare question: across 12 frontier models, commitment rises from 6.5% to 54.0% as evidence is escalated. It commits just as readily when every number on the panel is invented: fabricating the entire display, so nothing the model can see is true ...

Knowledge Distillation Driven Semantic NOMA with GAN Refinement for 6G Robotic Vehicle Networks

Qifei Wang, Zhen Gao, Li Qiao, Ziwei Wan, De Mi et al.

To achieve sustainable intelligent mobility, 6G-empowered robotic vehicles (RVs) require high-fidelity visual perception under stringent bandwidth and energy constraints. Semantic communication offers a spectral-efficient solution but suffers from severe interference in uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) RV networks. To address this, we propose a knowledge distillation-driven and generat...

Over-The-Air Extreme Learning Machines with Nonlinear Stacked Intelligent Metasurfaces

Kyriakos Stylianopoulos, Mattia Fabiani, Giulia Torcolacci, Davide Dardari, George C. Alexandropoulos

The recently envisioned goal-oriented communications paradigm requires machine learning inference to be performed directly on wirelessly transferred data. This paper presents an eXtremely Large (XL) Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system that operates as an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) to execute Over-The-Air (OTA) binary classification. To reduce hardware complexity, the receiver is equip...

TransMeme: A Multi-Agent Framework for Cross-Cultural Meme Transcreation

Jingyi Zheng, Yule Liu, Zifan Peng, Tianyi Hu, Yuemeng Zhao et al.

Internet memes are a pervasive form of multimodal online communication; however, such communication often involves users from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Therefore, adapting memes across cultures and languages is a central challenge for enabling mutual understanding in online communication. Unlike ordinary translation or standalone text rewriting, cross-cultural meme transcreation...

TRACE-CRC: Trajectory-Adaptive Conformal Risk Control for Multi-Step Channel State Information Prediction

Kiarash Rezaei, Mehdi Sattari, Javad Aliakbari, Tommy Svensson, Paolo Monti et al.

Reliable prediction of time-varying channel state information (CSI) is essential for efficient wireless communication. Each CSI frame is a matrix-valued representation of the wireless channel response, and a sequence of CSI frames forms a temporal channel trajectory. Modern deep learning-based CSI predictors, however, often provide only point predictions and lack calibrated uncertainty estimates. ...

Omni-Interactive Universal Embedder

Wei-Yao Wang, Kazuya Tateishi, Shuyang Cui, Christian Simon, Takashi Shibuya et al.

Multimodal representation learning has been shifting from traditional two-tower architectures to large language model (LLM)-based embedders due to their strong instruction-following capabilities. Despite this progress, existing approaches primarily focus on language and image modalities, which also remain the dominant modalities for user-conditioned interactions in current embedders. In this paper...

ASIL: Replacing Screenshot-and-Click with Structured State and Semantic Actions

Rui Xie, Lu Chen

Powerful code agents can execute scripts, call tools, and manage files, yet many important applications remain accessible primarily through graphical user interfaces. We argue that screenshot-and-click is an inefficient interface for software-operating agents: screenshots are state-incomplete, and GUI actions are brittle, semantically weak, and poorly matched to long-horizon planning. We introduce...

GraphMemix: Query-Aware Evidence Forests for Long-Term Multimodal Agent Memory

Geng Li, Yuhao Wang, Dong Li, Jianye Hao, Yuxin Peng

Organizing long-term memory for multimodal agents remains challenging because existing methods either suffer from expensive question-agnostic offline summaries or naive embedding similarity matching that introduces incomplete and redundant context. To address these issues, we propose GraphMemix, a combinatorial-optimization graph memory framework that models memory organization as query-aware evid...

TempJail: Temporal Jailbreak Attacks against Image-to-Video Generation Models

Qi Lu, Zehui Guo, David Yuanda Gan, Zijing Li, Hengda Zhang et al.

In recent years, image-to-video (I2V) generation models have made remarkable progress in subject consistency and temporal coherence, enabling high quality video synthesis. However, these advances also introduce new safety risks. Existing studies mainly focus on jailbreak attacks involving single frame violations, while largely overlooking the temporal dimension unique to video generation models. I...

Graph-Based Pseudo-multimodal Contrastive Learning for 12-Lead ECG Representations

Mengyu Wang, Kozo Okada, Takafumi Goto, Natsuko Jinba, Hiroki Yamaya et al.

12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a standard, non-invasive examination widely used for diagnosing coronary artery disease, where clinical interpretation relies on comparing waveform patterns across multiple leads. However, most existing ECG analysis methods focus on single-lead signals or treat each lead independently, and typically process ECG signals as one-dimensional time-series data using CN...
