Vision-language-action (VLA) policies typically feed dense visual patch tokens into a language-action backbone, preserving scene context but offering no explicit mechanism to regulate how strongly different visual tokens influence policy computation. We introduce DIVA, a Dual-Space Intent-Aware Visual Attenuation module with an anchor-then-attenuate design. DIVA combines high-level task intent with low-level visual evidence to estimate patch-wise relevance anchors, then applies them in two complementary spaces: it reweights projected visual tokens before backbone entry and persistently attenuates low-relevance visual states within the backbone. DIVA preserves the full visual token sequence and requires no external grounding supervision. On LIBERO, DIVA improves OpenVLA-OFT from 96.6% to 98.0% average success and raises its zero-shot LIBERO-Plus score from 69.6 to 72.6. Real-world experiments further show consistent gains under task-irrelevant visual perturbations, supporting the robustness of intent-aware visual attenuation beyond simulation.
GAOKAO-Bench is introduced, an intuitive benchmark that employs questions from the Chinese GAOKAO examination as test samples, including both subjective and objective questions that contribute a robust evaluation benchmark for future large language models and offers valuable insights into the advantages and limitations...

An algorithm is proposed which leverages disentangled semantic factors to generate adversarial perturbation by altering controlled semantic attributes to fool the learner towards various "adversarial" targets.

This work proposes a HALO that directly maximizes the utility of generations instead of maximizing the log-likelihood of preferences, and suggests that the best loss depends on the inductive biases most appropriate for a given setting, an oft-overlooked consideration.
This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
This work shows that orders of magnitude enhancement in performance could be obtained by a combination of hardware improvements and tight quantum-HPC integration and introduces high-performance architectures for quantum-probabilistic computing with custom-designed accelerators to tackle today's industry-scale classical...

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the Ultralytics YOLO family, emphasizing architectural evolution, benchmarking, deployment, and emerging directions from YOLOv5 through YOLO27, and examines detection, segmentation, depth, classification, pose, oriented detection, tracking, export, quantization, and deplo...
Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
