What Remains in Sight? Autoregressive Video Decoding as Representation-Guided Context Rewriting

Long-horizon video generation is increasingly moving toward autoregressive rollout, where each newly generated segment becomes part of the evidence used for future prediction. Recent causal decoders, long-context training, and KV-cache mechanisms have extended feasible duration, but most inference pipelines still decid...

Separating Common and Unique Directions for Model Merging

Model merging combines multiple fine-tuned models without additional training, and arithmetic methods have emerged as a simple yet effective way to merge models without data. However, existing arithmetic methods treat task vectors in parameter space and apply a single element-wise rule to directions that can differ in...

FlagRot: Selective Rotation for Low-Bit KV Caches

Long-context inference is bound by the KV cache, which 2-bit codes could shrink about sixfold if their error stays in check. The usual remedy rotates keys before quantizing, assuming rotation always helps. However, we observe that it does not: rotation flattens a spiky piece of a key but can give a flat one a new peak,...

Stacking-Based Weighting for Large Language Bayes in M-Open Settings

Large Language Bayes (LLB) transforms a natural language problem description into a collection of candidate probabilistic programs and performs inference within each model, combining their predictions using Bayesian model averaging. While this provides a flexible framework for probabilistic inference without manual mod...

P$^2$-MOPD: Accelerating Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation via Parameter Priors

Multi-teacher on-policy distillation consolidates expert capabilities by supervising student-generated trajectories, whereas task arithmetic offers a training-free alternative through linear parameter combinations. We view the linear combination of student and expert parameters as a single differentiable model and prop...

Camera Radar LiDAR Fusion via Point-Cloud Projection for Multi-Task Learning

Autonomous vehicles require robust perception systems to operate safely under diverse environmental conditions. While cameras provide high-resolution visual data, their performance significantly degrades in low-light and adverse weather. High Definition (HD) radar offers superior reliability and angular resolution unde...

PianoBench: Evaluating Musical Perception and Reasoning in Language Models

Multimodal language models continue to improve on broad music understanding benchmarks, but which musical features can they perceive and reason about? We investigate this question by introducing PianoBench, a benchmark that tasks language models with reasoning about musical performances across congruent acoustic and sy...

AIRoA-0: Long-Horizon, Precise, Cross-Embodiment Manipulation from Handheld Data

AIRoA-0 (A-0) is a bimanual manipulation system learned from 16,151 hours of handheld demonstrations, with no robot data collected at any stage. The demonstrations are recorded with YUBI, our open-source handheld gripper, which lets people record manipulation data anywhere with no robot present. From a single instructi...

What Malware Actually Does: An Empirical Analysis of Post-Infection Behavior Across Malware Families

Most malware detection research focuses on identifying whether a file is malicious before it executes. Far less attention goes to what happens after infection. This paper presents an empirical analysis of post-infection malware behavior across 37 families, grounded in dynamic sandbox execution using CAPEv2. Behavioral...

Multi-layer Indexer: Overlapping Selection and Attention in DeepSeek Sparse Attention

Sparse attention cuts the cost of long-context inference by making the attention matrix sparse: each query attends only a subset of the sequence, chosen by a fixed pattern or, in recent production LLMs, learned per query. In DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA), the attention of DeepSeek-V3.2 and the GLM-5 family, every lay...

The role of injected noise in diffusion model generalization

Diffusion models trained on distinct datasets can produce highly similar samples when prompted with the same noise input, suggesting that they learn a generalized data distribution. We investigate the role of noise injected during the sampling process, and show that it plays an important role in making or breaking this...

HyVox: Rethinking Low-Power Voice Intelligence towards Neuromorphic-von Neumann Edge Computing

We present HyVox, a hybrid neuromorphic--von Neumann system for low-energy open-set speaker identification under tight energy budgets. HyVox splits the workload at the speaker embedding. A neuromorphic processor embeds the speech with sparse, event-driven computation, and a von Neumann microcontroller holds the speaker...
