Emergent Region-Level Facial Correspondence in Frozen Vision Foundation Models
arXiv:2607.14423v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Frozen self-supervised vision models can align parts of generic objects, but it remains unclear whether this correspondence extends to human faces, where global layout is s…
ConFlow: Constraints-Guided Learning with Flow Matching for Motion Generation
arXiv:2607.14424v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In recent years Flow Matching has become a prominent method for generative modeling robot motion generation. In its generic form Flow Matching is an ODE-based neural sample…
Per-Token Fixed-Point Convergence in Depth-Recurrent Transformers
arXiv:2607.14427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A depth-recurrent transformer applies a weight-tied core a variable number of times, and prior work has shown that training with a randomized recursion count yields one che…
From Product-Centred Retrieval to Experience-Led Commerce:Twelve Candidate Design Principles for Fashion E-Commerce User Experience
arXiv:2607.14429v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper proposes twelve candidate Experience-Led Commerce design principles for high-constraint, relational fashion e-commerce, surfaced through design-led induction whi…
Prices, Probabilities, and Parlays: Systematic Bias in Sports Prediction Markets
arXiv:2607.14430v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prediction market prices are routinely interpreted as probabilities, both in academic work and in derivative products built atop these markets. We document two systematic w…
Smarter and Cheaper at Once: Byte-Exact KV-Cache Grafting Turns a Frozen Small Model into a Verified-Knowledge Flywheel
arXiv:2607.14431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We report a way to make a frozen small language model both more capable and dramatically cheaper at once, without changing any weights. Verified knowledge is deposited once…
The Adversarial Robustness of Sketching and Streaming Algorithms
arXiv:2607.14432v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sketching and streaming algorithms are vital for handling massive datasets. While classical methods guarantee correctness on fixed inputs, they often fail with adaptive inp…
A Measurement Study of AI-Environment Realism Gaps in Malware-Analysis Sandboxes
arXiv:2607.14434v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sandboxing remains a core technique for observing suspicious program behavior, yet environment-aware malware increasingly suppresses execution when analysis is suspected. P…
Global drivers and barriers to the public acceptance of autonomous vehicles: Evidence from 17 countries
arXiv:2607.14436v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study investigated the public acceptance of Society of Automotive Engineers Level 3 conditionally automated cars, which can self-drive under certain specified conditio…
Not Just Pockets: Understanding Phone-Carrying Behaviors of Wheelchair Users for Mobile Context-Awareness
arXiv:2607.14437v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Smartphone-based context-awareness holds significant promise for wheelchair users -- from detecting everyday accessibility barriers to enabling ability-based adaptations. S…
Compensation Design
arXiv:2607.14438v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce compensation design, the problem of designing payment rules that incentivize high-quality contributions in decentralized environments. Here, a budget-constrain…
Active Real-World Factor-Based Evaluation for Generalist Robot Policies
arXiv:2607.14439v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalist robot manipulation policies trained on large, diverse datasets have shown remarkable promise across a wide range of tasks. However, rigorously evaluating these p…
Disclosure Divergence: Measuring Privacy Policy and Data Safety Misalignment at Scale
arXiv:2607.14442v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the rapid growth of mobile applications, user data privacy has become an increasing concern. While privacy policies describe how apps collect and share data, platforms…
Tactile: Giving Computer-Using Agents Hands and Feet
arXiv:2607.14443v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-use agents are becoming capable software operators, but their interface to desktop applications is still often a brittle motor layer: they look at screenshots, pre…
Cotton-SF YOLO: Learning Structural and Frequency Cues for Early Cotton Square Detection in Complex Field Environments
arXiv:2607.14445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cotton squares are important phenotypic indicators of the early reproductive growth of cotton, and automatic field detection of cotton squares provides an important basis f…
Do Generative AI Assistants Respect robots.txt? Tracing Web Access Beyond Visible Answers
arXiv:2607.14447v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI assistants increasingly retrieve web content at inference time to provide fresh and grounded answers, yet it remains unclear whether these search-augmented capabilities …
Group Testing with Selectable Thresholds
arXiv:2607.14448v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider the problem of group testing, in which one seeks to identify a subset of defective items of size $k$ from a larger set of $n$ items based on pooled tests. We in…
AI-Conducted Interviews in Empirical Software Engineering: An Experience Report
