Decision-Theoretic Stopping Rules for Document Screening

arXiv:2606.07071v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deciding when to stop reviewing the results of a search is a common problem with multiple applications. Existing stopping rules developed within Technology-Assisted Review (TAR) aim to achieve a pre-specified recall target and do not take into account the reason for examining the results, potentially leading to sub-optimal recommendations. This paper applies decision theory to the problem and uses it to derive three practical stopping policies...

Nicotine as a wellness product? The smoking alternatives being pushed by big tobacco

People “smoke for the nicotine, but they die from the tar,” said the late public health scientist Michael Russell. For centuries, most people have got their nicotine from combustible tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco.

If I had a hammer... it might actually be a rhino tooth

One way archaeologists learn how ancient people, including Neanderthals, did things is to attempt to do those things themselves, a process called experimental archaeology. Normally, that involves making stone tools, butchering deer, or distilling birch tar. But in a new study, it meant doing very destructive things to teeth from one of the world’s most carefully protected animals.

STaR-KV: Spatio-Temporal Adaptive Re-weighting for KV Cache Compression in GUI Vision-Language Models

Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language-model-based graphical user interface (GUI) agents have shown broad automation capabilities, yet deployment is bottlenecked by a key-value (KV) cache that grows linearly with interaction steps. For instance, UI-TARS-1.5-7B consumes 76 GB of GPU memory on merely five screenshots, approaching the capacity of mainstream 80 GB accelerators. Existing KV compression methods share two structural assumptions: aggregating visual-token importance into a...
