Liu et al. develop Oncoformer, a multimodal transformer that reads routine laboratory tests and chest X-rays already collected in everyday care. Across more than 3.6 million individuals, it detects cancer, infers tumor stage, and stratifies treatment response and recurrence risk, pointing toward risk-adapted cancer care built on data already in hand.

Deep learning predicts gene rearrangements from histopathology in large B-cell lymphoma

arXiv:2605.24993v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current fMRI decoders face a performance-fidelity trade-off where efficient ID encoders outperform geometrically faithful surface-based models. We argue this is partly driven by inefficient surface tokenization and the failure to use anatomy as a predictive signal. We present NeurIPS, a framework that improves surface-based decoding by reframing anatomical variation from a nuisance to a powerful inductive prior. NeurIPS unites two innovations: a Selective ROI Spherical Tokenizer (SRST) for efficient geometric encoding, and a Structure-Guided Mixture of Experts (SG-MoE) that explicitly models individual anatomy using cortical features. On the Natural Scenes Dataset, NeurIPS establishes a new state-of-the-art for surface decoders and achieves performance comparable to strong 1D baselines. This is achieved with unprecedented efficiency, as the model converges dramatically faster (10 vs. 600 epochs). This efficiency enables rapid adaptation to new subjects using only 20% of data and ensures robust scalability as the training cohort is expanded. Ablations provide causal evidence that these gains are driven by the model's use of cortical features, not by memorizing subject IDs. By leveraging anatomical priors, NeurIPS provides a principled and scalable path toward robust, generalizable brain decoding.

arXiv:2603.06617v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce \textbf{Evo}, a duality latent trajectory model that bridges autoregressive (AR) and diffusion-based language generation within a continuous evolutionary generative framework. Rather than treating AR decoding and diffusion generation as separate paradigms, Evo reconceptualizes text generation as a latent flow: each token is associated with a vector-valued embedding that evolves over a progression variable $t_i \in [0, 1]$, indicating its semantic maturity. Low $t_i$ values correspond to confident AR-like refinement, while high values invoke diffusion-style planning, allowing the model to adaptively balance AR and diffusion based on uncertainty. Theoretically, we show that both AR and diffusion models emerge as discretizations of a shared probability flow, and we derive Evo's training objective from a unified variational ELBO. The model is implemented as a time-conditioned Transformer governed by a shared vector field, trained end-to-end to jointly infer latent codes and their progression times. During decoding, Evo performs efficient, semantics-aware refinement, achieving high-quality outputs without sacrificing speed. Empirically, Evo 8B achieves state-of-the-art or highly competitive results on 15 diverse benchmarks, including reasoning (GSM8K, ARC-C), code generation (HumanEval, MBPP), and general language understanding, while maintaining fast inference speed. Our results demonstrate that Evo delivers a new paradigm for LLM design with strong generation quality, robust symbolic reasoning, and decoding efficiency.

arXiv:2603.03761v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents are rapidly becoming the practical interface for task automation, yet the ecosystem lacks a principled way to choose among an exploding space of deployable configurations. Existing LLM leaderboards and tool/agent benchmarks evaluate components in isolation and remain fragmented across tasks, metrics, and candidate pools, leaving a critical research gap: there is little query-conditioned supervision for learning to recommend end-to-end agent configurations that couple a backbone model with a toolkit. We address this gap with AgentSelect, a benchmark that reframes agent selection as narrative query-to-agent recommendation over capability profiles and systematically converts heterogeneous evaluation artifacts into unified, positive-only interaction data. AgentSelectcomprises 111,179 queries, 107,721 deployable agents, and 251,103 interaction records aggregated from 40+ sources, spanning LLM-only, toolkit-only, and compositional agents. Our analyses reveal a regime shift from dense head reuse to long-tail, near one-off supervision, where popularity-based CF/GNN methods become fragile and content-aware capability matching is essential. We further show that Part~III synthesized compositional interactions are learnable, induce capability-sensitive behavior under controlled counterfactual edits, and improve coverage over realistic compositions; models trained on AgentSelect also transfer to a public agent marketplace (MuleRun), yielding consistent gains on an unseen catalog. Overall, AgentSelect provides the first unified data and evaluation infrastructure for agent recommendation, which establishes a reproducible foundation to study and accelerate the emerging agent ecosystem.
