arXiv:2610.22505v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Gaussian-splatting Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) augments conventional SLAM with a dense, renderable 3D scene representation, enabling high-quality reconstruction and novel-view synthesis. However, its localization, reconstruction, and rendering performance depends strongly on which observations are retained for mapping.
arXiv:2610.23161v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Can algorithms be learned and evolved as models, rather than repeatedly redesigned as programs? We explore this question by introducing Algorithm Modelization, a new paradigm that turns iterative algorithms into trainable models.
arXiv:2610.23046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On neuromorphic chips, spiking neural networks (SNNs) consume far less energy than artificial neural networks (ANNs), but the limited memory of these chips requires low-bit synaptic weights and membrane potentials. Existing post-training quantization (PTQ) methods provide them without retraining and, like those for ANNs, minimize numerical errors such as the mean squared error (MSE).
arXiv:2610.22403v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: What a reasoning system emits is a conclusion; what it owes is a justification. Producing one requires every operation to be admissible on the facts actually available, the dependencies of intermediate results to survive to the end of the path, and the path to be revised when a premise changes. We present the Event Reasoning System (ERS), in which the reasoning state is an explicit event graph.
arXiv:2610.22770v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal foundation models (CFMs) show promising results for treatment-effect estimation, with unit-level estimates that are competitive on standard benchmarks. Many causal analyses, however, inform decisions through effects averaged over groups of units, such as the full sample, the treated units, or a subgroup, and for such decisions a CFM is useful only if its credible intervals are calibrated.
arXiv:2610.22655v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The linear representation hypothesis holds that pretrained vision models encode generative factors as linearly decodable directions in feature space, and comes with a standard methodology: train a linear probe, declare a factor represented if accuracy is high. We show this test is too permissive.
arXiv:2610.22379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Calibrating expensive engineering simulators requires tuning model parameters to match reference data, a process heavily constrained by computational costs. This study investigates whether Large Language Models (LLMs), conditioned on physical diagnostic descriptions of simulation errors, can propose informative parameter updates more efficiently than conventional derivative-free optimizers.
arXiv:2610.22484v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The input space of single-spike neural networks decomposes into causal pieces, and the number of causal pieces has been shown to provide a lower bound on the approximation error for some spiking neural networks. While this decomposition is applicable to a wide range of spiking neuron models, the limits of how many causal pieces can be realised by spiking neural networks are still unknown.
arXiv:2610.22433v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flexible job-shop scheduling becomes resource-coupled when a scarce vehicle fleet moves jobs between stations, because the schedule sets the transport waits. BOLT (bound-oriented learning for transport-coupled scheduling) builds a lower bound from chain, machine-capacity, and fleet-capacity relaxations.
arXiv:2610.22509v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable 3D person detection is important for rescue robotics to give first responders situational awareness. Yet most multimodal 3D detection research targets automotive scenarios in which pedestrians mostly appear in a narrow range of upright, near-road poses.
arXiv:2610.22380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuous diffusion treats the forward process as a design space; discrete language diffusion often uses absorbing corruption, leaving context fully trusted throughout generation. This makes trust binary: corrupted context is copied as ground truth, propagating errors into generated spans. We reopen this design space by combining absorbing and uniform-mixing kernels with region-dependent rates.
arXiv:2610.23033v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study distinguishability and recovery of a sparse rank-one signal in a spiked Wigner model with independently sparse noise through a variety of algorithms and parameter regimes. The signal and noise have separate sparsity parameters, while the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) remains of constant order as the matrix size grows.
