Loop Engineering with Adaptive Parsing in Action: Parsing Flat Tables with Azure and Figures with a Vision LLM
Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #10B] - The LLM as last line of defence, then two real escalations walked end to end: a flat table to Azure, a figure to a vision model The post Loop Engineering with Adaptive Parsing in Action: Parsing Flat Tables with Azure and Figures with a Vision LLM appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Automatically Assign a Category to Uncategorized Rows in Power Query and DAX
Having categorized data is everything in reporting. Uncategorized data cannot be grouped and aggregated. But sometimes we must assign a category to uncategorized data according to certain rules. Let’s see how I solved this in a facility management project. The post Automatically Assign a Category to Uncategorized Rows in Power Query and DAX appeared first on Towards Data Science.
Complete Guide to Thinking Machines Inkling
Thinking Machines Lab has unveiled Inkling, its first general-purpose open-weights foundation model. It is a multimodal MoE model with 975B parameters, 41B active parameters, and a 1M-token context window. Rather than chasing benchmark supremacy, Inkling is designed as a customizable foundation for multimodal reasoning, agentic AI, coding, tool use, audio and vision tasks, and domain-specific [ ] The post Complete Guide to Thinking Machines Inkling appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.
Structure of the Circular-Dyadic Convolution Error
arXiv:2607.15293v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dyadic and circular convolution can both be computed in $O(N\log N)$ time using the Hadamard transform and the FFT-computed discrete Fourier transform (DFT), respectively. The Hadamard transform is preferable for its real-valued sign flips, yet its substitution for the DFT introduces algebraic error. We present three complementary results that characterize this error. First, we identify exact error cancellation: two input and two output positions are universally error-free, and no reordering of the output can eliminate this error. Second, the error operator is nearly full rank, while its null space has only logarithmic dimension. Third, the expected error is governed by a single alignment scalar, with a closed-form expression obtained by averaging over random filters. In general, the substitution error asymptotically doubles the output energy, except for filters in the universal zero-error subspace, which incur no error. Collectively, the
Position: Quantum Program Generation Must Prioritize Validity Over Probabilistic Scaling
arXiv:2607.15313v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The scaling hypothesis assumes that increasing model parameters yields emergent reasoning capabilities. This position paper argues that applying this probabilistic paradigm to generic quantum circuit synthesis is a directional error. Unlike natural languages, quantum circuits require strict adherence to mathematical constraints that manifest a significant syntax-semantics gap. Training on unverified quantum programs means that models learn syntax but fail to capture the physical semantics of the Hilbert space. Since the valid subset of circuit designs decays exponentially with the number of qubits, post-hoc filtering is mathematically intractable. We propose a pivot from human-centric copilots to verifier-centric agents. We integrate hierarchical constraints, topological masks, and symbolic proxies directly into generation. Our analysis suggests that scale alone cannot bridge the validity gap. Verification-aware architectures offer a viab
Causal-Audit: Explicit and Auditable Graph-based Reasoning via Target-Aware Causal Chain Construction
arXiv:2607.15281v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal and intervention-based question answering is fundamental to advancing large language models (LLMs) toward reasoning beyond surface-level correlations and understanding underlying causal mechanisms. However, existing LLM-based methods often rely on implicit language-level reasoning, resulting in opaque causal assumptions, unverifiable reasoning paths, and fragile predictions under complex interventions, particularly in context-free settings. In this paper, we propose an explicit and auditable causal reasoning framework for context-free intervention-based question answering. Our method formulates causal inference as structured reasoning over an explicit causal graph through four modular stages, rather than implicit end-to-end prediction. A key innovation is a target-aware causal graph construction strategy that treats the target variable as a core constraint during graph expansion, effectively suppressing irrelevant variables, spurio
NeuroCommitSSM: Decision-Centric Shared Autonomy for Safe Assistive Manipulation via EEG-EMG-ET Commit Readiness
arXiv:2607.15395v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present NeuroCommitSSM, a decision-centric framework that models when to execute, not just what to do, for safe commit-to-execute control in assistive robotic manipulation. NeuroCommitSSM predicts a continuous commit-readiness score c_t in [0,1] from synchronized electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and eye-tracking (ET), and converts it into discrete commit events through dwell and hysteresis filtering. A three-state finite-state supervisor, HOLD-ASSIST-COMMIT (HAC), gates execution by requiring both a sustained commit-readiness signal from the neural model and real-time perception and robot-state feasibility, including target visibility, inverse kinematics solvability, and collision-free planning, before initiating motion. We evaluate the framework on N=32 subjects performing five activities of daily living (ADL) tasks aligned with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), using le
Xiaomi-Robotics-1: Scaling Vision-Language-Action Models with over 100K Hours of Real-World Trajectories
arXiv:2607.15330v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Xiaomi-Robotics-1, a foundational vision-language-action (VLA) model capable of (1) following diverse language instructions to perform a wide range of mobile manipulation tasks in unseen environments out-of-the-box, and (2) efficiently adapting to novel downstream tasks with minimal fine-tuning data. We propose a two-stage training recipe consisting of pre-training and post-training. During pre-training, we imbue the model with broad and generalizable action-generation capabilities by training on over 100k hours of real-world manipulation trajectories collected via UMI devices. Crucially, we develop a scalable auto-labeling pipeline that annotates trajectory clips with natural languages describing scene state transitions, providing rich and precise conditioning for action learning. During post-training, we aim to align these capabilities with robot embodiments and imperative instructions that humans naturally use to prompt robo
GraphDx: A Cost-Aware Knowledge-Enhanced Multi-Agent Framework for Sequential Diagnosis
arXiv:2607.15280v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sequential diagnosis requires balancing diagnostic accuracy against resource costs through iterative information gathering. Existing Large Language Model (LLM) approaches exhibit a critical knowledge-reasoning gap: despite encoding extensive medical knowledge, they struggle to reason systematically under cost constraints, often resorting to excessive testing. We propose GraphDx, a knowledge-enhanced framework with two core innovations. First, we design an automated pipeline that leverages LLMs to construct Medical Diagnosis Knowledge Graphs (MDKGs) with quantized typicality, action-centric topology, and dual-objective attributes for both diagnostic relevance and cost-sensitivity. Second, we introduce three collaborative agents (Perception, Reasoning, and Decision) where the Perception and Decision Agents handle language understanding and generation, while the Reasoning Agent performs deterministic evidence scoring and cost-aware planning
