Metonymic Circuits for Abstract Concept Grounding in Vision Transformers

Experiments on a carefully curated icon dataset reveal structured metonymic circuits, in which perceptual primitives dominate early layers and object-like anchors precede abstract targets, which validate that metonymic intermediates are functionally involved in grounding abstract concepts.

Universal Test-Time Training

Recent Test-Time Training (TTT) architectures compress context into fast weights that are updated online and queried as memory. Existing TTT designs keep this memory private to each layer: it recurs only over time, and depth merely indexes L separate memories. We argue that memory ownership need not be tied to depth, a...

Multimodal Thinking with Renderable Programs

This work introduces SVGLM, a framework that uses scalable vector graphics (SVG) primitives to connect text and image in reasoning tasks, and exploits the duality of SVG as both image description and text instructions, yielding a more compact, interpretable solution to equip general VLMs with the capability of generati...

SIMLIFE: Pattern Understanding for Long-Horizon Human-Agent Partnership

SimLife is introduced, a scalable platform for simulating long-term household life with rich visual observations, ground-truth action logs, and synthetic dialogues with audio that evaluates long-context pattern understanding: the ability to infer latent behavioral rules from weeks or months of everyday observations.
