Genuine Information Needs of Social Scientists Looking for Data
arXiv:2609.02303v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Publishing research data is widely expected to increase its reuse and to inspire new research. In the social sciences, data from surveys, interviews, polls, and statistics …
Bayes-Optimal BER and AUC: Estimation and Evaluation of Estimators
arXiv:2609.02304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A fundamental quantity in machine learning is the optimal performance achievable by any model on a given task. Estimating this quantity allows us to distinguish the irreduc…
Contact-Constrained Lower-Limb Joint-Offset Calibration for Humanoid Robots
arXiv:2609.02306v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate joint encoder offsets are essential for kinematic consistency in humanoid lower limbs, yet existing calibration methods typically require external motion-capture s…
Efficient GUI Agents: A Systems Survey of Observation, Memory, Action, and Runtime Optimization
arXiv:2609.02309v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: GUI agents increasingly operate across websites, mobile apps, and desktop environments, yet the field still reports progress primarily through task success. We argue that p…
DiffIE: Diffusion-based Open Information Extraction
arXiv:2609.02315v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A single sentence often expresses multiple valid relational triplets, which makes Open Information Extraction (OpenIE) fundamentally a multi-output task. Existing neural sy…
Counter-GEO-Bench: Evaluating Defenses Against Information-Distorting Generative Engine Optimization
arXiv:2609.02316v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative engine optimization (GEO) enables content producers to increase the visibility of their web pages in generative search engines, but the same techniques can deliv…
YesTrack: Referring Multi-Object Tracking via MLLM-based Yes/No Verification
arXiv:2609.02318v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Referring multi-object tracking (RMOT) aims to track every instance in a video that matches a given language expression. Despite the recent integration of multimodal large …
From Multi-Fisheye Sensing to Panoramic Perception: A Parallax-Aware Onboard Platform for Ultra-Low-Altitude UAVs
arXiv:2609.02319v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ultra-low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) require surround vision near buildings, vegetation, and other obstacles. We present a parallax-aware onboard platform tha…
What Is Worth Representing? Representational Empowerment for Continual Model Construction
arXiv:2609.02322v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The first problem of modeling the world is not just estimating the right parameters or causal structure, but deciding what should be represented at all. We frame this probl…
Quantum Workload Privacy Beyond Data Confidentiality
arXiv:2609.02323v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Remote quantum computing exposes a confidentiality gap. Standard privacy mechanisms protect quantum states and outputs, but not the scientific structure of a workload. This…
Adaptive Test-Time Inference for Text2Cypher with Trace Budgeting and Selective Refinement
arXiv:2609.02324v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models have enabled natural language interfaces for structured databases, but generated queries may still contain syntactic errors, violate database schemas,…
Poisoning Attacks on the PGM-index
arXiv:2609.02328v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The PGM-index (Ferragina and Vinciguerra, VLDB'20) is one of the most practical learned indexes, owing to its theoretical elegance and consistently strong empirical perform…
ORB-SVM : An Innovative Hybrid Framework for Efficient Brain Tumor Detection from MRI Scans
arXiv:2609.02333v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Brain cancer remains one of the most significant challenges in modern medicine, where the accuracy of early stage diagnosis is a decisive factor in patient survival and tre…
SALA: Semantic-Aware Logical Alignment for Complex Reasoning in In-Context Learning
arXiv:2609.02336v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Effective in-context learning (ICL) for complex reasoning relies on selecting the right demonstrations. Traditional retrieval methods based on surface similarity fail to ca…
AGI Maze Prediction Datasets: A Compact Benchmark for Learning World Dynamics with Transformers
