At-the-Roofline Sparse Tensor Contractions on Vector Processors for Transformer Inference

arXiv:2607.25504v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-grained weight pruning and activation sparsification have emerged as effective approaches for reducing the compute and memory cost of inference for Transformer models. In the moderate-sparsity regime, Gustavson's dataflow provides a natural execution model for exploiting both activation and weight…

OmniPhys: Knowledge-Graph-Driven Benchmarking and Collective Optimization for Physical Commonsense in Text-to-Image Generation

arXiv:2607.25641v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While text-to-image models exhibit remarkable visual fidelity, they frequently violate fundamental physical commonsense. Existing benchmarks often rely on coarse-grained descriptions, failing to diagnose the mastery of specific physical principles. Moreover, the high stochasticity of generative processes causes current prompt optimization…

Quality Action Assurance: Multimodal Verification of Examiner Claims in VR OSCEs

arXiv:2607.19063v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) are the gold standard for assessing clinical competence, yet scoring remains vulnerable to examiner subjectivity, fatigue, and cognitive bias. Standard examiner validation via inter-rater statistics lacks explanatory power regarding the source of errors, as it…

A funny companion: Distinct neural responses to AI- versus human-attributed humor

arXiv:2509.10847v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As artificial intelligence (AI) companions become capable of human-like communication, including telling jokes, understanding how people cognitively and affectively respond to AI-attributed humor becomes increasingly important. This study used EEG to compare how people process puns versus controls attributed to…
