AInfer-PD: Communication-Safe In-Place Prefill-Decode Multiplexing for Distributed MoE Rollouts
arXiv:2609.00993v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rollout inference often dominates the wall-clock time of large-scale reinforcement learning (RL). In agentic RL, each trajectory alternates between model generation and env…
EvoGS: Modeling Deformation Evolution for Dynamic Gaussian Splatting
arXiv:2609.00994v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent extensions of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enable real-time novel view synthesis in dynamic scenes by learning time-conditioned Gaussian deformations. However, exist…
CQF-HMR: Continuous Quaternion Flows for Probabilistic 3D Human Mesh Recovery from a Single Image
arXiv:2609.00995v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recovering 3D digital humans from a single 2D image is an ill-posed computer vision problem due to the loss of depth information. Probabilistic 3D human pose estimation com…
Does This Moment Justify the Recommendation? Counterfactual Behavior-Grounded Evidence Retrieval for Personalized Video Recommendation
arXiv:2609.00996v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalized video recommendation predicts user preference at the video level, while temporal video grounding localizes query-relevant moments. However, strong localization…
Inspicio: Open-Vocabulary, LLM-Based Sense Retrieval for Historical Languages
arXiv:2609.00998v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Word Sense Disambiguation has advanced rapidly for English and a handful of well-resourced modern languages, but it continues to assume the existence of a sense inventory a…
Right Frame, Wrong Rule: Cultural Cues Expose the Financial Knowledge Gap They Were Meant to Close
arXiv:2609.00999v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When a question has valid answers under different normative frameworks, a language model must decide which framework to use and whether it can answer correctly within it. W…
SinkPruner: Sink-Free Visual Token Pruning for Multimodal Large Language Models
arXiv:2609.01004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite their strong multimodal understanding ability, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) incur substantial computational overhead when processing long visual token s…
Figures as Programs: Recursive Generation of Editable Scientific Figures
arXiv:2609.01006v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific methodology figures are essential for communicating complex methods clearly, yet creating them remains labor-intensive and typically requires multiple rounds of …
OptiXDE: A fast optical-inspired solver for differential equations
arXiv:2609.01009v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: OptiXDE is a matrix-free spectral operator framework for differential equations on uniform grids and embedded domains. Inspired by angular-spectrum propagation in Fourier o…
Low-Quality Face Recognition using Center Aligned Representations and Local Margin Constraints
arXiv:2609.01014v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-quality face recognition (LQFR) remains challenging due to the difficulty of matching degraded query (probe) images against low-quality (LQ) enrollment (gallery) imager…
A Network Science Perspective on Evaluating Deep Graph Generative Models
arXiv:2609.01015v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional network models from network science, such as the Erdos-Renyi and configuration models, generate random networks that reproduce few selected topological properti…
Phrase-Localized Language-Contrastive Guidance: Training-Free Localized Accent Control for Code-Switching Text-to-Speech
arXiv:2609.01016v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current speech synthesis struggles with code-switching, which mixes a foreign language phrase into a primary language utterance, causing the phrase to be spoken with the pr…
Kernelization of 2-Club Cluster Edge Deletion on Interval Graphs
arXiv:2609.01021v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The \emph{$s$-Club Cluster Edge Deletion} problem asks whether, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, one can delete at most $k$ edges so that every remaining connected com…
AKRASIA: Stealthy Backdoor Attack on Reasoning-based Code LLMs
arXiv:2609.01023v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present AKRASIA, a stealthy, inference-time backdoor attack against reasoning-based Code LLMs. AKRASIA aims to achieve a backdoor target (e.g., malicious code execution)…
PCoMoE: Shifting MoE Inference from Monolithic Expert Selection to Fine-Grained Path Composition
arXiv:2609.01024v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures scale Large Language Model (LLM) capacity efficiently by activating a sparse subset of experts per token. However, modern MoE inferen…
MakoXC: Rearchitecting DFT Exchange-Correlation with Matrix-Aligned and Knowledge-Organized Sparsity
arXiv:2609.01025v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Density Functional Theory (DFT) is indispensable for materials science and drug discovery, yet the exchange--correlation (XC) evaluation remains a major bottleneck due to i…
