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.

arXiv:2605.24004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are promising for autonomous driving, but semantics-only decision policies can yield physically unsafe behavior in dynamic traffic. Existing methods either perform online language reasoning without explicit dynamics verification or use world models mainly in offline pipelines, leaving a gap between semantic intent and physical feasibility at decision time. We propose Reason--Imagine--Act (RIA), a closed-loop framework that couples an LLM reasoner with an action-conditioned world model for online safety verification. At each step, the LLM proposes an action template and candidate sub-actions, the world model performs short-horizon rollouts, and a safety scorer selects the safest executable action with feedback to the next reasoning step. Under a unified CARLA point-goal protocol (1000 episodes), RIA achieves 80.05% route completion, 51.10% arrival rate, and 0.20% collision rate. Under the same closed-loop interface, RIA consistently outperforms training-free baselines, including CARLA TM and MADA, on core closed-loop metrics.

arXiv:2605.25829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent vision-language-action (VLA) models and world action models (WAMs) advance robotic manipulation by enriching intermediate representations with auxiliary spatial features or future visual-state prediction. However, these representations largely remain within the observation space and do not share the rigid-body geometry of the action space, forcing the action decoder to implicitly recover this geometry. We propose OASIS, a visuomotor policy that aligns the intermediate representation with the action space via $SE(3)$ end-effector trajectory prediction. OASIS couples a 3D-aware feature encoder that fuses vision-language and metric-depth features with an $SE(3)$ trajectory predictor that produces a camera-frame end-effector trajectory. Conditioned on the predictor's pose-supervised hidden states, the action decoder generates action chunks consistent with rigid-body motion. Across simulation and real-world experiments, OASIS outperforms VLA and WAM baselines in success rate and out-of-distribution generalization.
