Behavioral Memory under Symmetry in One-Way Quantum Automata
arXiv:2609.01451v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Under compact symmetry, observable behavior reduces to an invariant operator algebra, but its dimension is not yet classical memory: some coordinates are dynamically frozen…
Does Imitation Learning Preserve Temporal Robustness in Dexterous Manipulation? An Expert-Learner Comparison Across Task Execution Speeds
arXiv:2609.01453v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dexterous manipulation policies learned by imitation are typically evaluated for robustness to variation in scenes, objects, or instructions, but their performance across t…
When Safety Routing Breaks: Understanding Alignment Fragility under Benign Fine-Tuning
arXiv:2609.01455v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Benign fine-tuning severely weakens the safety alignment of large language models (LLMs), so we study why refusal behavior is so fragile. While prior work often attributes …
AutoConcept: Training-Free Concept-Guided Reranking for Metadata-Available Composed Image Retrieval
arXiv:2609.01456v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Composed image retrieval (CIR) retrieves a target image from a reference image and a text modification. This paper studies metadata-available CIR reranking, where a fixed C…
Just Talk Once: Communication-Efficient Split Federated LLM Fine-Tuning on Edge Devices
arXiv:2609.01457v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) fine-tuning is increasingly shifting toward data generated on edge devices, where memory, computation, bandwidth, and connectivity constraints ma…
Better Situational Awareness in AR-HRC? A Comparative Study of Augmented Reality and Mobile Interfaces for Human-Robot Collaboration
arXiv:2609.01461v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) facilitates human-robot collaboration (HRC) by enabling in-situ spatial visualizations of the robot and the joint task. However, in safety-critical H…
Mobile Backscatter Communication for the Battery-less Internet of Things
arXiv:2609.01465v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We enable backscatter communication in the battery-less mobile Internet of Things (IoT). Backscatter communication is extensively studied in static settings. Existing desig…
Parsing the Stream: A Live Trace Model for Long-Horizon Agents and Their Observers
arXiv:2609.01466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A long-horizon agent's trace outgrows both of its consumers: the human observer monitoring the run, and the agent itself, whose bounded context the trace must be folded bac…
SVP Is NP-Hard for Some Rank-2 Cyclotomic Modules
arXiv:2609.01469v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Let $q$ range over primes congruent to $3$ modulo $4$. Let $\zeta_q$ be a primitive $q$th root of unity, and put $K=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_q)$, with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}…
RadMatch: Auditable Radiology Report Evaluation via Finding-Level Matching
arXiv:2609.01470v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As AI systems are increasingly used to draft radiology reports, reliably evaluating their clinical quality remains a critical challenge. Large language model (LLM)-based me…
Efficient K-Visibility Query in Polygons
arXiv:2609.01472v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper investigates $k$-visibility, where a line of sight can penetrate up to $k$ obstacles. While computing the $k$-visibility polygon from a single query point is wel…
Binary Multiple-Node-Erasure-Correcting Codes over Complete Graphs: Constructions, q-Ary Metric Balls, and Duality
arXiv:2609.01474v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study linear codes whose coordinates are the ordinary edges and self-loops of complete undirected graphs; a node erasure removes all coordinates incident with a failed v…
The Role of Collective Perception and 5G NR-V2X Sidelink in Road Safety
arXiv:2609.01478v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vehicles and roadside infrastructure are increasingly equipped with sensors capable of perceiving their surroundings. Sharing this information through vehicle-to-everything…
