DKL: Decoupled Knowledge Learning for Instruction-Tuned Language Models
arXiv:2609.02685v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: RAG has become the de facto method for incorporating new, corpus-specific knowledge into an instruction following LLM (Instruct LLM). Although RAG-based prompting improves …
From Proxy Learning to Driving Decisions: A Transfer-Based Framework for Evaluating Future-Aware Autonomous Driving Planners
arXiv:2609.02688v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Future-aware representations and world models are increasingly used in proposal-based autonomous-driving planners to improve trajectory selection. However, improvements in …
GaLe: memory-efficient Global Approximate and Local Exact features
arXiv:2609.02689v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Embedded devices typically lack the resources of GPU-equipped machines, and existing inference methods suffer from either high computational overhead (patch-based) or accur…
ACLE-MCP: Attested Capability Leases for Execution-Time Trust in Remote LLM Tool Use
arXiv:2609.02690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) services enable large language model agents to invoke external tools, but OAuth authorization alone does not ensure that a later tool ca…
Positivity loss in bandlimited spectral reproduction on spheres
arXiv:2609.02695v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: How small can the positivity loss be for an $N$-bandlimited spectral operator that exactly reproduces all modes up to degree $L$? For spherical polynomial approximation on …
Generating Medical Image Counterfactuals using Causal Explanations
arXiv:2609.02697v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning models have achieved impressive performance in medical image diagnosis, yet their deployment in clinical settings remains constrained by limited explainabilit…
The PIONEER Project: A PrIvacy companion for mOtivatioN and knowlEdge transfER
arXiv:2609.02700v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Remaining control over their private data is one of the key challenges in this century for users. We know from prior work that users are often neither in a position to full…
Trace as State: Reasoning Traces as Conditional States for Long-Context Transformers
arXiv:2609.02702v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers process information causally, but long-context reasoning may depend on task state discovered only later. We formalize this mismatch through conditional state u…
A Top-Down Framework for Metric-Scale Athlete Localization from Single Broadcast Frames
arXiv:2609.02705v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate world-coordinate localization of athletes from single-frame broadcast footage is inherently challenging due to extreme scale disparities in ultra-high-resolution i…
Door-in-the-Face Requests and Refusal Behaviour in Large Language Models
arXiv:2609.02707v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Does the door-in-the-face technique work on language models? In humans, a large request that is refused makes a smaller follow-up request more likely to be granted. We test…
Card-Based Computation in the Virtual Player Simulation Model
arXiv:2609.02716v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Player simulation has recently emerged as a new direction in card-based cryptography, with protocols developed for simulating virtual players in physical card games such as…
MV-dVRK: A Multi-Viewpoint Benchmark for Spatial Surgical Perception
arXiv:2609.02717v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large-scale training and refined optimization techniques have greatly improved sparse multi-view 3D reconstruction. Despite their relevance to surgery, such methods have ne…
Large Language Model-Driven Context-Aware Eco-Feedback Generation and Evaluation
arXiv:2609.02719v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the potential of generating eco-feedback that accounted for unique household contextual information, named as context-aware e…
A stable rank-adaptive step-and-truncate finite volume method for Vlasov transport on domains with piecewise linear boundaries
arXiv:2609.02721v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider the numerical solution of the linear Vlasov transport equation on bounded spatial domains with inflow boundary conditions based on low-rank approximation. We co…
Almost Envy-Freeness for Additive Mixed Manna with Entitlements: Deterministic and Randomized Guarantees
