Chunk Recomputation under Real Document Revisions: Measuring Update Cost and Retrieval Quality of Fixed, Recursive, and Content-Defined Chunking
arXiv:2610.31019v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chunking strategies for retrieval-augmented generation are almost always evaluated on a static snapshot, yet the documents underlying a knowledge base continue to change. B…
Demonstration-Based Robotic Feeding Using Dynamic Movement Primitives
arXiv:2610.31020v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a demonstration-based robotic feeding framework that integrates human demonstration, Dynamic Movement Primitive-based motion planning, vision-based scen…
Extension of MDS Codes over Finite Fields
arXiv:2610.31023v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we investigate extending of $[n,k,n-k+1]$ non-Reed--Solomon(non-RS) MDS codes to $[n+1,k,n-k+2]$ non-RS MDS codes. We develop a practical iterative algorithm…
NN-Based Transistor Modeling for Ultra-Fast SPICE Simulation and Standard Cell Library Characterization
arXiv:2610.31024v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural network (NN)-based transistor models have proven to be a promising solution to accelerate device modeling. Although these models demonstrated remarkable speedup in c…
Data-dependent Compact Multinode Shepard Method
arXiv:2610.31026v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce a data-dependent compact multinode Shepard method for the approximation of scattered multivariate data. The proposed approach extends the compact multinode She…
Multimodal Progress-Residual Fusion for Anticipating Navigation Retreat in Robotic Flexible Endoscopy
arXiv:2610.31028v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flexible robotic endoscopes provide access through tortuous anatomy, where friction, deformation, and wall interaction separate commanded insertion from useful distal progr…
AERIAL: Mission-Aware LLM Selection for Language-Driven UAV Control in Flying Networks
arXiv:2610.31029v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Flying Networks (FNs) increasingly require mechanisms to translate high-level natural language objectives into executable missions. Altho…
What Does AI Success Look Like? A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Supranational AI Governance Instruments
arXiv:2610.31030v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the last decade and in particular since 2018, supranational institutions have published policies, guidelines, and most recently regulations to govern development and use…
CANNBot-CAKE: Collaborative Agentic Kernel Evolution for Ascend NPU
arXiv:2610.31034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient custom operators are essential for modern deep learning workloads, yet developing high-performance kernels for Ascend NPUs remains slow, expert-intensive, and dif…
Stability-Preserving Reinforcement Learning for Heterogeneity-Aware Composite Max-Pressure Traffic Signal Control
arXiv:2610.31037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) provides a flexible mechanism for adapting traffic signal control to heterogeneous traffic and sensing conditions, but directly learned signal a…
Multichoice Modeling: Exploring Decision Configuration Space under Uncertainty
arXiv:2610.31038v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decision support has become sophisticated at exploring uncertainty, but much less so at representing the architecture of the decision itself. As a result, the decision spac…
ResGVC: Residual Coding for High-fidelity Generative Video Compression
arXiv:2610.31039v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative video compression (GVC) methods usually employ decoder-side diffusion models to denoise reconstructed signals based on generative priors. Besides, most of these …
Algorithmic drift in generative adaptive learning
arXiv:2610.31041v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence promises to democratize personalized tutoring, yet the longitudinal stability of adaptive systems remains under-theorized. Current ethica…
Conflict-Aware Logit Adapters for Utility-Preserving Anti-Distillation
arXiv:2610.31046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While reasoning traces improve model capability, they also provide supervision signals for downstream distillation. Initial efforts to mitigate this issue rely on decoding-…
Harm Is Behavioural, Moderation Is Lexical: How Language and Culture Decide Whom Automated Safety Systems Protect and Whom They Silence
arXiv:2610.31047v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Content warning: this paper quotes slurs and hateful statements from published test suites; the racial slur among them is masked. Automated systems decide at scale which me…
