Causal Forcing: Autoregressive Diffusion Distillation Done Right for High-Quality Real-Time Interactive Video Generation
Announce Type: replace Abstract: To achieve real-time interactive video generation, current methods distill pretrained bidirectional video diffusion models into few-step autoregressive (AR) models, facing an architectural gap when full attention is replaced by causal attention. However, existing approaches do not bridge this gap theoretically. They initialize the AR student via ODE distillation, which requires frame-level injectivity, where each noisy frame must map to a unique clean frame...

Learning Self-Correction in Vision-Language Models via Rollout Augmentation
arXiv:2602.08503v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Self-correction is essential for solving complex reasoning problems in vision-language models (VLMs). However, existing reinforcement learning (RL) methods struggle to learn it, as effective self-correction behaviors emerge only rarely, making learning signals extremely sparse. To address this challenge, we propose correction-specific rollouts (Octopus), an RL rollout augmentation framework that synthesizes dense self-correction examples by...
Can LLM Rerankers Predict Their Own Ranking Performance?
arXiv:2606.03535v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval effectiveness varies substantially across queries, making it important to estimate ranking quality before relevance judgments are available. Query performance prediction (QPP) addresses this need, but most existing methods rely on external predictors after retrieval or reranking. In this paper, we study \textit{reranker-internal QPP}: can an LLM reranker estimate the quality of the ranking it has just produced?
DeliCIR: Deliberative Test-Time Evolutionary Hierarchical Multi-Agents for Composed Image Retrieval
arXiv:2605.22478v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) requires both preserving the visual continuity of the reference image and faithfully executing the semantic variables specified in the modification text, which constitute the core challenge of the task. Existing methods often suffer from Perception Myopia in a single space, or fall into Logic Drift in iterative collaboration due to the perception ceiling of the underlying retriever. To address this issue, we...
High entropy leads to symmetry-equivariant policies in Dec-POMDPs
arXiv:2511.22581v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We prove that in any Dec-POMDP, sufficiently high entropy regularization ensures that the policy gradient flow with tabular softmax parametrization always converges, for any initialization, to the same joint policy, and that this joint policy is equivariant w.r.t. all symmetries of the Dec-POMDP. In particular, policies coming from different initializations will be fully compatible, in that their cross-play returns are equal to their...
Is attention truly all we need? An empirical study of asset pricing in pretrained RNN sparse and global attention models
Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This study investigates the pre-trained RNN attention models with the mainstream attention mechanisms, such as additive attention, Luong's three attentions, global self-attention and sliding window sparse attention, for the empirical asset pricing research on the top 420 large-cap US stocks. This is the first paper on the large-scale state-of-the-art (SOTA) attention mechanisms applied in the asset pricing context. They overcome the limitations of the...
RQUL-UIE: Revitalizing Quality-Unstable Labels for Underwater Image Enhancement via In-Dataset Self-Supervision
arXiv:2606.06176v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Underwater Image Enhancement (UIE) is essential for mitigating degradations caused by water medium. Although learning-based methods have advanced significantly, most rely on paired datasets with unstable label quality, which bottlenecks model performance. This paper proposes a diffusion-based, in-dataset self-supervised learning strategy designed to exploit the quality distribution of training labels.
Human-Like Neural Nets by Catapulting
Human-like Neural Nets by Catapulting Speculative proposal to create artificial neural nets with human-like performance by high-learning-rate/regularization training of overparameterized NNs to trigger catapulting/grokking. Over-parameterization as a route to true generalization would resolve many outstanding mysteries of artificial versus natural intelligence. There are many mysteries about deep learning and human intelligence, but we could describe the biggest anomaly this way: why are...
Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?
I've made a number of ceramic molds for slumping fused glass into bowls. As well as wooden templates for ceramic mugs. I've devised a few carrying tools to move glass frit paintings from my studio down to my barn where the kilns sit without spilling the glass.
