Proximity3D: Shape from Capacitive Proximity on Sensing Manifold
arXiv:2608.30344v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Most shape reconstruction methods assume measurements defined over planar sensing domains, such as RGB images or depth maps. In this paper, we use a curved capacitive t…
Will the User Ever Know? Covert Indirect Prompt Injection Attacks on Tool-Using LLM Agents
arXiv:2608.30362v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As LLM agents take real-world actions through tools, indirect prompt injection (IPI) has emerged as a serious threat. The standard metric, Attack Success Rate (ASR), co…
Graph Evidence Is Not Enough: Diagnosing Native Decoder Use in Graph-Augmented LLMs
arXiv:2608.30437v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Graph-augmented large language models often assume that graph evidence produced by external computation and placed in the input can be used by the native decoder. We te…
Curves of constant width and Lebesgue's covering problem
arXiv:2608.30538v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A universal cover is a convex set in the plane that contains a congruent copy of every planar set of diameter one. Lebesgue asked in 1914 for one of least area, and the…
ByteX: A Unified AI Search Engine at ByteDance
arXiv:2608.30607v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Since 2016, ByteX has been the foundation of ByteDance's search infrastructure, scaling to more than 7,000 clusters and 300 PB of indexed data. Driven by the demands of…
Cost-efficient Active Learning for Referring Image Segmentation and Grounding
arXiv:2608.30621v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Collecting natural-language referring expressions along with region annotations, such as masks or boxes, is a major bottleneck in visual grounding (VG), as annotators m…
BiG-SURE - Bipartite Graph for Semantic Uncertainty and Reliability Estimation of LLMs
arXiv:2608.30646v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reliable uncertainty estimation is a crucial requirement for deploying large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) in safety-critical settings, espec…
Calibrating Small Language Models for Claim Check-Worthiness Detection
