Hi everyone, I’m working on a university project and could really use some advice from people with more experience in autonomous navigation / RL / simulation. Task: I need to design a deep learning model that directly controls a drone (x, y, z, pitch, yaw — roll probably doesn’t make much sense here 😅). The drone should autonomously patrol and map indoor and outdoor environments. Example use case: A warehouse where the drone automatically flies through all aisles […]

arXiv:2604.09704v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in reasoning-induced image quality assessment (IQA) have demonstrated the power of reinforcement learning to rank (RL2R) for training vision-language models (VLMs) to assess perceptual quality. However, existing approaches operate at a single granularity, predicting only an overall quality score, while overlooking the multi-dimensional nature of human quality perception, which encompasses attributes such as sharpness, color fidelity, noise level, and compositional aesthetics. In this paper, we propose MG-IQA (Multi-Granularity IQA), a multi-granularity […]

Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning aims to continually enhance Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) by learning from new data without forgetting previously acquired knowledge. Mixture of Experts (MoE) architectures naturally facilitate this by incrementally adding new experts and expanding routers while keeping the existing ones frozen. However, despite expert isolation, MoE-based continual learners still suffer from forgetting due to routing-drift: old-task tokens become mistakenly attracted to newly added experts, degrading performance on prior tasks. We analyze the failure mode […]

arXiv:2602.06081v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) often exhibit pronounced context-dependent variability that undermines predictable multi-agent behavior in tasks requiring strategic thinking. Focusing on models that range from 7 to 9 billion parameters in size engaged in a ten-round repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma, we evaluate whether short, costless pre-play messages emulating the cheap-talk paradigm affect strategic stability. Our analysis uses simulation-level bootstrap resampling and nonparametric inference to compare cooperation trajectories fitted with LOWESS regression across both the […]

Short-term (0-24 hours) precipitation forecasting is highly valuable to socioeconomic activities and public safety. However, the highly complex evolution patterns of precipitation events, the extreme imbalance between precipitation and non-precipitation samples, and the inability of existing models to efficiently and effectively utilize large volumes of multi-source atmospheric observation data hinder improvements in precipitation forecasting accuracy and computational efficiency. To address the above challenges, this study developed a novel forecasting model capable of effectively and efficiently utilizing massive atmospheric […]

After 35 years of multivendor storage work, I have learned that the real value is not slicing one box into smaller boxes. The real value is putting an intelligent control layer between applications and hardware so the business is no longer trapped by whichever vendor sold them the last shiny frame. Every few years, somebody asks a version of the same question: Is storage virtualization basically like VMware, where you take one piece of hardware and carve more […]

arXiv:2510.07132v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Clustered Federated Learning (CFL) improves performance under non-IID client heterogeneity by clustering clients and training one model per cluster, thereby balancing between a global model and fully personalized models. However, most CFL methods require the number of clusters K to be fixed a priori, which is impractical when the latent structure is unknown. We propose DPMM-CFL, a CFL algorithm that places a Dirichlet Process (DP) prior over the distribution of cluster parameters. This […]

Detecting anomalous trajectories in decentralized crypto networks is fundamentally challenged by extreme label scarcity and the adaptive evasion strategies of illicit actors. While Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) effectively capture local structural patterns, they struggle to internalize multi hop, logic driven motifs such as fund dispersal and layering that characterize sophisticated money laundering, limiting their forensic accountability under regulations like the FATF Travel Rule. To address this limitation, we propose Relational Domain Logic Integration (RDLI), a framework that embeds […]
