PARSE: Part-Aware Relational Spatial Modeling

The paper introduces PARSE, a framework utilizing part-level geometric relations encoded in Part-centric Assembly Graphs to resolve spatial ambiguities, which is validated through the creation of the PARSE-10K dataset and demonstrated to significantly enhance both object layout reasoning in vision-language models and the physical realism of generated 3D scenes.

SoK: The Evolution of Maximal Extractable Value, From Miners to Cross-Chain

This Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) paper provides a comprehensive historical analysis of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) by organizing fragmented literature into three chronological eras—from Miner Extractable Value in Proof-of-Work systems to the modern cross-chain frontier—while offering a unified taxonomy, identifying mitigations, and proposing a research agenda for standardized metrics and cross-chain infrastructure.

The Three Praxes Framework - A Thematic Review and Map of Social Accessibility Research

This paper introduces the Three Praxes Framework, derived from a grounded theory analysis of 90 social accessibility studies (2011–2025), to map the field's fragmented practices across Artifact, Ecosystem, and Epistemology sites and advocate for an integrated cycle where lived experiences, material realities, and theoretical knowledge collectively transform access ecosystems.

From Autonomy to Sovereignty - A New Telos for Socially Assistive Technology

This paper argues that socially assistive technology should shift its goal from fostering independence to achieving "relational sovereignty," a framework that empowers disabled individuals to choose between independence and interdependence by integrating self-determination theory, symbolic interactionism, and crip technoscience into a new design matrix and set of interventions.

AeroPlace-Flow: Language-Grounded Object Placement for Aerial Manipulators via Visual Foresight and Object Flow

This paper introduces AeroPlace-Flow, a training-free framework that enables aerial manipulators to perform precise, language-grounded object placement by synthesizing goal images, grounding them into 3D space, and generating collision-aware object flows without requiring predefined poses or task-specific training.
