arXiv:2609.10851v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Few-shot learning is commonly evaluated under protocols that pre-train a model on a large auxiliary set whose classes are disjoint from the target episodes yet drawn from the same visual…
arXiv:2609.10410v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The growing complexity of content moderation policies presents a critical challenge for their consistent operationalization. While foundation models possess the basic capabilities needed to…
arXiv:2609.09696v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly proposed as automated auditors of document quality, yet their reliability as detectors of planted errors is poorly characterised. We construct a…
arXiv:2609.08981v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A growing body of work establishes that large language models are not mere statistical memorizers, but are capable of in-context learning: performing inference at test time using only…
arXiv:2609.06271v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Some low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) sensor deployments lack device-level source authentication, leaving them vulnerable to impersonation or injected sensor readings. We present a…
arXiv:2609.04383v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Real-world dynamics are inherently compositional: multiple entities move simultaneously within a shared scene, each exhibiting distinct motion patterns. Yet current motion representation…

arXiv:2609.03807v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: State--prediction separation (SPS) relieves a language model's hidden state of two competing burdens---summarizing the context and predicting the next token---by splitting the forward pass…
arXiv:2609.01210v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Safety benchmarks for large language models often assess the risk of a user query, although the outcome of question answering depends on whether the response violates a policy. This…
