Key facilities of the Iranian armed forces were destroyed, and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, along with several senior political and military figures. Iran's Assembly of Experts chose Khamenei's son Mojtaba as the country's new supreme leader.

PRISM: Synergizing Vision Foundation Models via Self-organized Expert Specialization

Announce Type: new Abstract: Unifying the complementary strengths of diverse Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) into a single efficient model is highly desirable but challenged by the negative transfer inherent in monolithic distillation. To address these feature conflicts, we introduce \textbf{PRISM}, a novel dual-stream Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) framework that synergizes VFMs via modular specialization.

ExpertGen: Scalable Sim-to-Real Expert Policy Learning from Imperfect Behavior Priors

arXiv:2603.15956v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Learning generalizable and robust behavior cloning policies requires large volumes of high-quality robotics data. While human demonstrations (e.g., through teleoperation) serve as the standard source for expert behaviors, acquiring such data at scale in the real world is prohibitively expensive. This paper introduces ExpertGen, a framework that automates expert policy learning in simulation to enable scalable sim-to-real transfer.

Ontology-constrained multi-LLM scoring of hypothesis support in the predictive processing literature

arXiv:2606.05206v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fragmentation is common in interdisciplinary fields with diverse methods and theoretical commitments. Predictive coding neuroscience is a clear example: its literature spans computational theory, electrophysiology, imaging, behavior, and modeling, creating a synthesis problem that conventional meta-analysis cannot easily resolve. Here, we describe a local multi-LLM pipeline for ontology-constrained literature synthesis.
