Learning Cardiac Motion Priors for Implicit Neural Representations

arXiv:2607.00955v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Implicit neural representations (INRs) are well suited to cardiac motion estimation, providing continuous, compact representations of motion fields. However, fitting an INR to each image sequence is time-consuming and sensitive to the optimisation trajectory. Learned priors can help guide optimisation…

Mecha-nudges for Machines

arXiv:2603.23433v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI agents are becoming active decision-makers on the Internet. As they make decisions in the same environments as humans, the environments themselves can change to influence them. We call this $textit{mecha-nudging}$: changes to how choices are presented that systematically influence…

Search Beyond What Can Be Taught: Evolving the Knowledge Boundary in Agentic Visual Generation

arXiv:2607.05382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual generators excel at rendering, but they confidently fabricate what they do not know. User requests are unbounded, evolving, and deeply long-tailed: new characters, trending entities, post-cutoff events, and more. This world-knowledge bottleneck is structural: generators are trained on fixed…
