V-LUMEN: Visual Lookup Memory for Embedding Scaling in Vision-Language Models

Embedding-level scaling expands the capacity of language models through lookup-based memory rather than by increasing model depth, width, or dense computation. Extending this idea to vision-language models (VLMs) is challenging because visual features are continuous, spatially structured, and query-dependent, unlike di...

Self-Keyed In-Parameter Memorization for External Memory-Free Dialogue Recall in Frozen Language Models

Self-keyed in-parameter memorization (SKIM), a closed-form method in which the model generates its own questions about each dialogue turn and writes those questions into its parameters as the keys that later retrieve the turn's content, is proposed.

Developing a Speech Language Model for Basque

Although the recent development of LLMs has paved the way for multi-modal interaction, minority languages face difficulties keeping pace. This work presents the first open Speech Language Model for Basque, designed for low-latency, end-to-end spoken interaction. Based on the LLaMA-Omni architecture, the system integrat...

AdaGround: Token-Normalized Adaptive Zooming with Verifier-in-the-Loop Refinement for GUI Grounding

GUI grounding on high-resolution screens fails mostly on small targets, and zooming in is a common training-free remedy. However, most existing zooming pipelines do not match the zoom to the target's size, accept the zoomed answer unconditionally and never revisit a wrong answer. To address these issues, we propose Ada...

Select-TTT: Query-Conditioned Selective Fast Weight Updates for In-Place Test-Time Training

Test-time training (TTT) enables a deployed language model to internalize incoming context on-the-fly into a small set of fast-weight parameters, rather than merely treating it as transient context for attention. In-Place TTT recently made this idea practical for large language models by repurposing the down-projection...

Specialization, Diversity, and Scaling in Child-Scale Language Models

Modern language models are trained on far more language than children experience, but we know much less about learning from small, naturalistic datasets. We train small GPT-2 models on transcripts of speech with children from dense home recordings (BabyView) and on synthetic child-directed dialogue (TinyDialogues), var...

A Quantitative Approach to Asch Conformity in Frontier Large Language Models

The Asch conformity experiment has recently gained considerable attention as a way of measuring conformity in large language models (LLMs). While previous studies have focused on demonstrating conformity in LLMs, our work adds a further quantitative layer to this approach. Instead of sampling a frontier LLM on a suite...

Balanced State Subspaces for Mamba-2 State Compression

Mamba-2 compresses all context into a fixed-size recurrent state that dominates decoding memory and bandwidth. Existing compressors quantize state values or prune state coordinates, scoring each channel independently in the native basis. We examine trained Mamba-2 states and find that energy is almost rank-one, but the...

RoboAuto: Autonomous Robot Program Search through Multi-Level Physical Understanding

This work introduces RoboAuto, a framework for robot program search that explicitly organizes physical understanding at the object, scene, and interaction levels through three components and shows that the knowledge base transfers across simulators and embodiments, and that program search performance scales with its si...

Do AI Scientists Know What's New?

ClaimNov is introduced, a fine-grained, interpretable claim-level novelty module that catches 97% of disguised papers at a 1.5% false-alarm rate, and cuts the LLM judge's false alarms from 11.8% to 1.5%.

SOMA: A Benchmark for Fine-Grained Egocentric Behavior and Body-Motion Understanding

Perceiving human body motion is critical for multimodal systems that understand and assist people. Yet current evaluations of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) largely focus on objects, scenes, and coarse actions, leaving their ability to reason about the body itself poorly assessed. This is especially challengi...

Base Models Can Detect Hidden Intentions that Prompted Classifiers Miss

The Persona Selection Model (PSM) posits that post-training selects a persona the model learned during pre-training. Work on subliminal learning has shown that models can impart covert signals (like "love of owls") into semantically unrelated outputs like strings of numbers, and that students trained on these outputs i...
