Mean Flow Policy with Instantaneous Velocity Constraint for One-step Action Generation

This paper introduces the Mean Velocity Policy (MVP), a novel one-step generative policy that employs an Instantaneous Velocity Constraint (IVC) to theoretically guarantee high expressiveness while achieving state-of-the-art performance and significantly faster training and inference speeds on challenging robotic manipulation tasks compared to existing flow-based baselines.

Understand Then Memory: A Cognitive Gist-Driven RAG Framework with Global Semantic Diffusion

CogitoRAG is a novel Retrieval-Augmented Generation framework inspired by human episodic memory that enhances complex reasoning and reduces hallucinations by extracting semantic gists into a multi-dimensional knowledge graph, utilizing query decomposition and entity diffusion for associative retrieval, and employing a fusion-based reranking algorithm to deliver high-density evidence.

Condition-Gated Reasoning for Context-Dependent Biomedical Question Answering

This paper introduces CondMedQA, the first benchmark for conditional biomedical question answering, and proposes Condition-Gated Reasoning (CGR), a framework that constructs condition-aware knowledge graphs to dynamically prune reasoning paths based on patient-specific factors, thereby improving the reliability of medical decision-making.

A Mathematical Theory of Agency and Intelligence

This paper introduces "bipredictability" (P) as a fundamental, bounded measure of shared information between observations, actions, and outcomes to distinguish mere agency from true intelligence, demonstrating that current AI systems lack the self-monitoring feedback loops necessary for adaptive learning and proposing a thalamocortical-inspired architecture to restore it.

Scaling Search Relevance: Augmenting App Store Ranking with LLM-Generated Judgments

This paper addresses the scarcity of expert textual relevance labels in large-scale app store search by leveraging a specialized, fine-tuned LLM to generate millions of high-quality labels, which, when used to augment the production ranker, significantly improves both offline metrics and real-world conversion rates, particularly for tail queries lacking reliable behavioral data.

Attn-QAT: 4-Bit Attention With Quantization-Aware Training

This paper introduces Attn-QAT, the first systematic 4-bit quantization-aware training framework for attention mechanisms that ensures stable FP4 training and inference by matching low-precision recomputation in the backward pass and correcting implicit precision assumptions, thereby eliminating quality drops and delivering up to 1.5x speedup on FP4-capable GPUs without relying on outlier-mitigation heuristics.

How Well Do Multimodal Models Reason on ECG Signals?

This paper introduces a reproducible, scalable framework for evaluating multimodal models on ECG signals by decomposing reasoning into "Perception" (verified via code generation) and "Deduction" (verified via retrieval against clinical criteria) to address the limitations of existing manual or superficial evaluation methods.

Conformal Prediction for Risk-Controlled Medical Entity Extraction Across Clinical Domains

This paper proposes a conformal prediction framework that ensures safe, domain-specific deployment of LLMs for medical entity extraction by adapting calibration thresholds to counteract the distinct underconfidence observed in structured FDA labels and overconfidence in free-text radiology reports, thereby achieving target coverage guarantees with manageable rejection rates across diverse clinical settings.
