What We Don't C: Manifold Disentanglement for Structured Discovery

The paper introduces "What We Don't C," a novel latent flow matching approach that disentangles latent subspaces by explicitly removing information from conditional guidance to generate meaningful residual representations, thereby enabling the discovery and analysis of factors of variation not captured in the conditioning variables.

World Models That Know When They Don't Know - Controllable Video Generation with Calibrated Uncertainty

This paper proposes C3, a novel uncertainty quantification method that trains controllable video models to generate high-resolution, calibrated confidence heatmaps at the subpatch level by estimating uncertainty in latent space and using strictly proper scoring rules, thereby enabling reliable hallucination detection and out-of-distribution identification for robotics applications.

GTR-Turbo: Merged Checkpoint is Secretly a Free Teacher for Agentic VLM Training

GTR-Turbo is a highly efficient training method for multi-modal agents that eliminates the need for costly external teacher models by using merged checkpoints from ongoing reinforcement learning as a "free" teacher, thereby improving accuracy by 10–30% while reducing training time and compute costs by 50% and 60%, respectively.

Enhancing Tree Species Classification: Insights from YOLOv8 and Explainable AI Applied to TLS Point Cloud Projections

This paper presents a framework using YOLOv8 and Finer-CAM to achieve 96% accuracy in classifying seven European tree species from TLS 3D point clouds while demonstrating that the model's decisions are interpretable and primarily rely on crown features for most species, with stems playing a more significant role for others.

Gradient Dynamics of Attention: How Cross-Entropy Sculpts Bayesian Manifolds

This paper provides a first-order analysis demonstrating that cross-entropy training in transformers induces a coupled specialization of attention routing and value updates—functioning as a two-timescale EM procedure—that sculpts low-dimensional Bayesian manifolds, thereby explaining how gradient-based optimization enables precise probabilistic reasoning.

Burn-After-Use for Preventing Data Leakage through a Secure Multi-Tenant Architecture in Enterprise LLM

This paper proposes a Secure Multi-Tenant Architecture (SMTA) combined with a novel Burn-After-Use (BAU) mechanism to effectively prevent data leakage in enterprise LLMs by enforcing strict instance isolation and ephemeral context destruction, achieving high defense success rates against both semantic leakage attacks and post-session persistence threats in experimental evaluations.
