arXiv:2603.07973v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hierarchical multi-robot exploration commonly decouples frontier allocation from local navigation, which can make the system brittle in dense and dynamic environments. Because the allocator lacks direct awareness of execution difficulty, robots may cluster at bottlenecks, trigger oscillatory replanning, and generate redundant coverage. We propose VORL-EXPLORE, a hybrid learning and planning framework that addresses this limitation through execution fidelity, a shared estimate of local navigability that couples task allocation with motion execution. This fidelity signal is incorporated into a fidelity-coupled Voronoi objective with inter-robot repulsion to reduce contention before it emerges. It also drives a risk-aware adaptive arbitration mechanism between global A* guidance and a reactive reinforcement learning policy, balancing long-range efficiency with safe interaction in confined spaces. The framework further supports online self-supervised recalibration of the fidelity model using pseudo-labels derived from recent progress and safety outcomes, enabling adaptation to non-stationary obstacles without manual risk tuning. We evaluate this capability separately in a dedicated severe-traffic ablation. Extensive experiments in randomized grids and a Gazebo factory scenario show high success rates, shorter path length, lower overlap, and robust collision avoidance. The source code will be made publicly available upon acceptance.

Harnessing the immune microenvironment: advances in nasopharyngeal carcinoma immunotherapy

arXiv:2403.07183v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present an approach for estimating the fraction of text in a large corpus which is likely to be substantially modified or produced by a large language model (LLM). Our maximum likelihood model leverages expert-written and AI-generated reference texts to accurately and efficiently examine real-world LLM-use at the corpus level. We apply this approach to a case study of scientific peer review in AI conferences that took place after the release of ChatGPT: ICLR 2024, NeurIPS 2023, CoRL 2023 and EMNLP 2023. Our results suggest that between 6.5% and 16.9% of text submitted as peer reviews to these conferences could have been substantially modified by LLMs, i.e. beyond spell-checking or minor writing updates. The circumstances in which generated text occurs offer insight into user behavior: the estimated fraction of LLM-generated text is higher in reviews which report lower confidence, were submitted close to the deadline, and from reviewers who are less likely to respond to author rebuttals. We also observe corpus-level trends in generated text which may be too subtle to detect at the individual level, and discuss the implications of such trends on peer review. We call for future interdisciplinary work to examine how LLM use is changing our information and knowledge practices.
