T2AV-Compass: Towards Unified Evaluation for Text-to-Audio-Video Generation

arXiv:2512.21094v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Text-to-Audio-Video (T2AV) generation aims to synthesize temporally coherent video and semantically synchronized audio from natural language, yet its evaluation remains fragmented, often relying on unimodal metrics or narrowly scoped benchmarks that fail to capture cross-modal alignment, instruction following, and perceptual realism under complex prompts. To address this limitation, we present T2AV-Compass, a unified benchmark for...

COMPASS: Complete Multimodal Fusion via Proxy Tokens and Shared Spaces for Ubiquitous Sensing

arXiv:2604.02056v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Missing modalities in multimodal sensing cause not only information loss but also a fusion-interface mismatch: a fusion head trained on a canonical set of modality slots must operate on changing observed subsets at inference time. We propose Compass, an interface-complete fusion framework that restores this canonical slot structure before prediction. Each modality is assigned a fixed fusion slot.

Supporting complex care with confidence and compassion

Supporting complex care with confidence and compassion After years of working with children and youths with intellectual disabilities, senior psychologist Melody Tan Hui Shan sought deeper clinical training through NIE’s Master of Arts (Applied Psychology) to deliver more tailored care. For close to 15 years, Ms Melody Tan Hui Shan worked with young people aged seven to 18 years old at MINDS Fernvale Gardens School, providing interventions, caregiver guidance and school-based services for...

COMPASS: Cognitive MCTS-Guided Process Alignment for Safe Search Agents

Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-powered search agents enable multi-step reasoning and tool use. However, these capabilities introduce retrieval-induced safety degradation, as harmful intents may decompose into seemingly innocuous sub-queries that lead to unsafe outcomes. Existing alignment methods struggle to capture sparse safety signals and fail to supervise diverse violations across multi-step interactions.

Bitcoin's high conviction holders are turning into sellers as the crypto's price hits new lows

Bitcoin's highest conviction holders have joined the sell-off in the cryptocurrency, which could signal the beginning of the end of the ongoing crypto slump, according to Compass Point. Long-term holders – defined as those that have held onto their coins for at least 155 days, or about five months – were largely inactive from February to April but have turned into sellers in recent weeks, Compass Point analyst Ed Engel said in a note Tuesday. In the past two days they've sold about $2.4...

I know what it’s like to be 80. We have reason to worry about Trump’s health | Robert Reich

Physical and mental health aren’t easily separated, especially at our age. And the president is showing many concerning signsI do not wish Trump ill. While he hasn’t shown a shred of compassion for anyone other than himself, this doesn’t justify any of us lacking compassion for him.
