Light Cones For Vision: Simple Causal Priors For Visual Hierarchy

arXiv:2603.24753v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Standard vision models treat objects as independent points in Euclidean space, unable to capture hierarchical structure like parts within wholes. We introduce Worldline Slot Attention, which models objects as persistent trajectories through spacetime worldlines, where…

Amplified Patch-Level Differential Privacy for Free via Random Cropping

arXiv:2603.24695v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Random cropping is one of the most common data augmentation techniques in computer vision, yet the role of its inherent randomness in training differentially private machine learning models has thus far gone unexplored. We observe…

Debugging Concept Bottleneck Models through Removal and Retraining

arXiv:2509.21385v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) use a set of human-interpretable concepts to predict the final task label, enabling domain experts to not only validate the CBM’s predictions, but also intervene on incorrect concepts at test time.…

Consequentialist Objectives and Catastrophe

arXiv:2603.15017v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Because human preferences are too complex to codify, AIs operate with misspecified objectives. Optimizing such objectives often produces undesirable outcomes; this phenomenon is known as reward hacking. Such outcomes are not necessarily catastrophic. Indeed, most…

SpecXMaster Technical Report

arXiv:2603.23101v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Intelligent spectroscopy serves as a pivotal element in AI-driven closed-loop scientific discovery, functioning as the critical bridge between matter structure and artificial intelligence. However, conventional expert-dependent spectral interpretation encounters substantial hurdles, including susceptibility to human…
