When Vision Misleads, Let Location Speak: A Worldwide Image Geo-Localization Method via Location Attention Mechanism and Large Multimodal Models
arXiv:2606.08918v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Worldwide image geo-localization aims to determine the capture location of an image on a global scale. Existing methods often mislocalize images by matching them to visually similar scenes from different geographic regions, which limits reliability in practical applications. To address this issue, we propose TransGeoCLIP, a novel retrieval-based framework that integrates a location attention mechanism and large multimodal models (LMMs).
Cosine Misleads: Auxiliary Losses Reshape Vision Language Models, Not Their Latents
arXiv:2606.05753v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Latent visual reasoning (LVR) inserts supervised latent tokens between perception and answer generation in vision-language models (VLMs). The field uses alignment between these latents and their visual targets, i.e., cosine similarity or mean squared error (MSE), as both the training loss and the quality metric, assuming that better alignment yields a better answer. We test this with a designed matrix of five LVR variants and find the...
AdvScene: Rethinking Adversarial Patch Evaluation Through Scene Robustness
arXiv:2605.30578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adversarial patches are physical patterns attached to real objects to mislead AI vision systems. Their real-world risk is not determined by a single successful prediction, but by whether they remain effective after deployment under changing viewpoints, distances, and scene conditions. We refer to this property as scene robustness, the effectiveness of a deployed patch across conditions in a real environment.
Socialist Zohran Mamdani launches Elon Musk-style ‘COGE’ chaired by Soros-aligned Dem
Several months into his administration, New York City socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is taking a page from Elon Musk’s book by launching a city Commission on Government Efficiency, or "COGE."Mamdani’s commission, however, will be staffed by a group of progressives and Democrats, including a George Soros-aligned chair, according to a statement from New York City.The mayor said on Thursday that the commission "will find ways for our city to work smarter, faster, and more effectively for...
Partially Observable Adversarial Patch Attacks on Vision-Language-Action Models in Robotics
arXiv:2606.03556v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models are gaining attention in robotics, yet their robustness to adversarial attacks remains largely unexplored. Existing work shows that adversarial patches can mislead VLA-based robots but assumes full access to the entire execution trajectory, an unrealistic requirement in practice. We address this limitation by formulating a partially observable threat model, where the adversary can exploit only a short prefix...
Seeing Isn't Knowing: Do VLMs Know When Not to Answer Spatial Questions (and Why)?
arXiv:2605.30557v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatial reasoning is a fundamental capability for vision-language models (VLMs) deployed in real-world environments. However, visual observations are inherently limited representations of a 3D world: occlusion can render objects invisible, and perspective can make geometric properties misleading. Despite this, existing spatial reasoning benchmarks typically assume that observations are sufficient and reliable, focusing on whether models produce...
The back-channel bid to go soft on Maduro
When Marco Rubio was named secretary of State, many in both South Florida Republican circles and the American energy industry exulted. But one man who bridged both worlds knew he had a problem. A longtime investor in Venezuela, the main source of crude oil needed to produce the asphalt that had made his family rich, Harry Sargeant III kept relations with top officials in Caracas even as they seized most foreign oil holdings.
Don’t Build the Arch
The meanings of words such as honor, sacrifice, and humility have been leaking away from American civic life like red blood cells from an anemic. But if there’s one place where they retain their rich, sticky, life-giving force, it’s surely in the air around the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. The cemetery is where Americans remember those who sacrificed their lives for the nation.
Cross-Modal Attention Calibration for LVLM Hallucination Mitigation
arXiv:2501.01926v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in visual-language understanding. Despite their success, LVLMs still suffer from generating hallucinations in complex generation tasks, leading to inconsistencies between visual inputs and generated content. To address this issue, some approaches have introduced inference-time interventions, such as contrastive decoding, to reduce overreliance on language priors.
BISHOP ROBERT BARRON: Pope Leo sees the AI age clearly — and warns we must save our souls
Pope Paul VI’s 1968 encyclical Humanae vitae covers a variety of themes, both theological and anthropological, and has proved to be remarkably prophetic, and yet it is still, in the minds of most people, simply the "birth control" encyclical. Similarly, Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’ ranges across a number of topics and provides a trenchant analysis of the philosophy that dominates the modern world, and yet, for most, it is simply the "global warming" encyclical. I am a bit...
