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…

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…

Adaptive decision-making for stochastic service network design

arXiv:2603.24369v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper addresses the Service Network Design (SND) problem for a logistics service provider (LSP) operating in a multimodal freight transport network, considering uncertain travel times and limited truck fleet availability. A two-stage optimization approach…

Insights on back marking for the automated identification of animals

arXiv:2603.25535v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: To date, there is little research on how to design back marks to best support individual-level monitoring of uniform looking species like pigs. With the recent surge of machine learning-based monitoring solutions, there is a…
