arXiv:2602.12395v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) with verifiable rewards has become a standard post-training stage for boosting visual reasoning in vision-language models, yet it remains unclear what capabilities RL actually improves compared with supervised fine-tuning as cold-start initialization...

arXiv:2602.12430v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The transition from monolithic language models to modular, skill-equipped agents marks a defining shift in how large language models (LLMs) are deployed in practice. Rather than encoding all procedural knowledge within model weights, agent skills...

arXiv:2602.12302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) combine the natural language understanding and generation capabilities of LLMs with perception skills in modalities such as image and audio, representing a key advancement in contemporary AI. This chapter presents...

arXiv:2602.12660v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reward models are crucial for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values and intentions. Existing approaches follow either Generative (GRMs) or Discriminative (DRMs) paradigms, yet both suffer from limitations: GRMs typically demand costly point-wise...

arXiv:2602.12709v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has become a dominant paradigm for grounding large language models (LLMs) with external evidence in knowledge-intensive question answering. A core design choice is how to fuse retrieved samples into the LLMs, where...

arXiv:2602.12921v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Figurative language understanding remains a significant challenge for Large Language Models (LLMs), especially for low-resource languages. To address this, we introduce a new idiom dataset, a large-scale, culturally-grounded corpus of 10,361 Bengali idioms. Each idiom...

arXiv:2602.13059v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Question answering (QA) over structured tables requires not only accurate answers but also transparency about which cells support them. Existing table QA systems rarely provide fine-grained attribution, so even correct answers often lack verifiable grounding,...

arXiv:2602.13084v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Competency modeling is widely used in human resource management to select, develop, and evaluate talent. However, traditional expert-driven approaches rely heavily on manual analysis of large volumes of interview transcripts, making them costly and prone...

arXiv:2602.12301v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although annotated music descriptor datasets for user queries are increasingly common, few consider the user's intent behind these descriptors, which is essential for effectively meeting their needs. We introduce MusicRecoIntent, a manually annotated corpus of...

arXiv:2602.12528v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have inspired new paradigms for document reranking. While this paradigm better exploits the reasoning and contextual understanding capabilities of LLMs, most existing LLM-based rerankers rely on autoregressive generation,...

arXiv:2602.12323v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The widespread availability of fine-tuned LoRA modules for open pre-trained models has led to an interest in methods that can adaptively merge LoRAs to improve performance. These methods typically include some way of selecting LoRAs...

arXiv:2602.12368v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work introduces the Nirenberg Neural Network: a numerical approach to the Nirenberg problem of prescribing Gaussian curvature on $S^2$ for metrics that are pointwise conformal to the round metric. Our mesh-free physics-informed neural network...

arXiv:2602.12520v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning to coordinate many agents in partially observable and highly dynamic environments requires both informative representations and data-efficient training. To address this challenge, we present a novel model-based multi-agent reinforcement learning framework that unifies joint...

arXiv:2602.12533v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) often exhibit significant modality preference, which is a tendency to favor one modality over another. Depending on the input, they may over-rely on linguistic priors relative to visual evidence, or...

arXiv:2602.12542v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning models for clinical event prediction on electronic health records (EHR) often suffer performance degradation when deployed under different data distributions. While domain adaptation (DA) methods can mitigate such shifts, its "black-box" nature prevents...

arXiv:2602.12643v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Unified Latent Dynamics (ULD), a novel reinforcement learning algorithm that unifies the efficiency of model-free methods with the representational strengths of model-based approaches, without incurring planning overhead. By embedding state-action pairs into a...

arXiv:2602.12651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cellular identity and function are linked to both their intrinsic genomic makeup and extrinsic spatial context within the tissue microenvironment. Spatial transcriptomics (ST) offers an unprecedented opportunity to study this, providing in situ gene expression...

Abstract This article is a ‘metaphorical’ guide to today’s most pressing artificial intelligence (AI) copyright questions, focusing in particular on the EU and the USA. Is unauthorized training on copyright-protected works permitted? Can AI models copy? And is AI-generated output...
