Prototype-based neural networks are hailed as interpretable-by-design architectures. Recently, Abductive Latent Explanations (ALE) were introduced to provide formal, mathematically guaranteed explanations that leverage the intrinsic structure of these networks to ensure both predictive safety and human readability. ALEs rely on computing tight bounds on latent space distances to produce formal explanations. However, existing ALE formulations are rigidly confined to Euclidean latent spaces. This leaves a critical gap: modern state-of-the-art architectures increasingly rely on non-Euclidean rep...

Satellite agents for on-orbit navigation tasks need to predict collision risks using limited onboard observations. However, conventional planners often rely on predefined maps and fixed environmental assumptions, limiting their adaptability in dynamic on-orbit scenarios. In this paper, we propose Orbit-Planner, a two-stage latent world model for on-orbit obstacle avoidance. Orbit-Planner learns action-conditioned spacecraft dynamics to perform future-state rollouts in latent space, and introduces a Physics Probe to decode physical state changes from imagined latent trajectories. Experiments d...

Interactive game world models typically autoregress visual observations directly in pixel or latent space, forcing structured properties such as pose, geometry, and occlusion to be implicitly maintained by the same generative sequence. Over long horizons, errors in these latent world properties accumulate, making consistency and controllability fragile. We explicitly model the evolving world state, delegate exact geometric computation to a fixed, zero-parameter renderer, and leave the neural model to synthesize appearance. We instantiate this idea as Marionette, a world model for interactive ...

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) enables the simultaneous profiling of gene expression and tissue morphology, creating an opportunity to learn multimodal representations capturing shared morpho-transcriptomic structure. However, standard multimodal models often compress modalities into a common latent space without explicitly separating shared and modality-specific sources of variation, which may limit downstream utility. We investigate whether explicit disentanglement of shared and private latent components improves multimodal representation learning for paired Hematoxylin \& Eosin (H\&E) and ST...

We introduce BDH-CQ, a reasoning model that combines in-context learning with recurrent latent reasoning. Inputs presented at inference time continuously update the model's recurrent memory; the model then solves a query through iterative computation in a high-dimensional latent space, without verbalizing its intermediate reasoning. We evaluate the model on the public ARC-AGI-1 evaluation set and use controlled ARC-like interventions to study what it learns from demonstrations, how consistently it applies an inferred transformation, and which concepts remain difficult. A 150M-parameter config...

Transformer-based neural operators have achieved substantial progress in solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) by projecting spatial observations into compact latent tokens and learning physical interactions in latent spaces. However, we reveal that existing learnable projection mechanisms cannot ensure stable and balanced assignments from observation points to latent tokens, causing some latent tokens to be over-assigned while others remain underutilized. This limitation further restricts the design of hierarchical architectures, as assignment imbalance is continuously inherited and ...

Video Anomaly Detection (VAD) is inherently challenging due to the scarcity of anomalies and the large visual variability in surveillance footage, including changes in lighting, viewpoint, and human appearance. To mitigate visual noise and address privacy concerns, recent work has shifted to pose-based VAD, which focuses on motion dynamics rather than raw video data. However, existing pose-based approaches model human behavior in continuous latent spaces, limiting their ability to learn compact motion patterns necessary for robust behavior analysis. We address this by proposing Vector-Quantiz...
