Hybrid Machine Learning-Assisted Raman Spectroscopy with Generative Feature Augmentation for Pharmaceutical Identification
arXiv:2610.02224v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rapid and reliable identification of pharmaceutical residues is important for safeguarding public health, ensuring food safety, and enabling practical Raman-based screening. In this study, we propose HyMLRaman, a hybrid Raman spectroscopy framework that combines deep spectral feature extraction, generative models, and classical machine-learning classifiers to identify six pharmaceutical compounds, including amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, ibuprofen, and paracetamol. Raman spectra are converted into spectral images and encoded with several deep neural-network backbones, among which EfficientNet-B3 yields the most effective representation. The resulting 1536-dimensional embeddings are then used to train downstream classifiers, including SVM, KNN, logistic regression, random forest, XGBoost, and ANN, using stratified 10-fold cross-validation. The hybrid EfficientNet-B3--SVM configuration achieves the strongest base
World-Calibrated Proposal-to-Action Flow for Vision-Language-Action Models
arXiv:2610.02323v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow-based Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies generate action chunks by transporting samples from a task-agnostic isotropic Gaussian source. As this source is conditioned on neither recent execution nor predicted future evolution, (i) it discards the local continuity established by recently executed motion. (ii) Even when predictive world representations are introduced, they often only condition the transport dynamics rather than determine where generation starts, how far it may deviate, or along which action directions it may expand. Building on this observation, we introduce ProAct, a world-calibrated proposal-to-action framework that makes the generative source itself predictable. (i) To preserve motion continuity, a lightweight Proposal Expert converts recent actions into a scene-aware hypothesis via one motion-anchored endpoint flow-matching step, initializing generation near the demonstrated action manifold. (ii) To jointly captu
Awomo-SimDataEngine: Agentic Simulation-ReadyWorld Generation
arXiv:2610.02274v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generating useful robot-training data requires more than visually plausiblescenes: objects must support interaction, placements must remain physicallyvalid, and tasks must admit repeatable execution. We present\textbf{Awomo-SimDataEngine}, an agentic system that connects asset and scenegeneration to robot demonstration synthesis. Shared asset services providerigid and articulated objects, including structure-grounded part and jointgeneration with ISArt. Scene generation supports two complementary routes:Unravel reconstructs editable scenes from images, while SimForge buildssingle-room and multi-room environments from text. A graph-native harnesscoordinates construction, validation, andbounded repair, routing failures to the responsible module while retainingunaffected scene state. PolicyForge binds validated worlds to tasks and robotembodiments to produce replayable demonstrations. Evaluations cover assetgeometry, scene quality, and downs
MintFlow: Minimal Trajectory Intervention for Constrained Flow Matching
arXiv:2610.02260v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow matching models excel at generative modeling, and many downstream applications require their samples to satisfy prescribed constraints, such as observed measurements and physical laws. However, existing constrained samplers often face a trade-off: \textit{enforcing constraints can substantially displace samples from the pretrained data distribution}. To address this trade-off, we introduce \textbf{MintFlow}, a training-free constrained sampling framework that formulates constraint enforcement as a minimal intervention on the pretrained flow trajectory. MintFlow seeks the minimal perturbation of an intermediate flow state such that its subsequent evolution under the pretrained flow field satisfies the target constraint. By minimally perturbing the flow state while keeping the pretrained flow field unchanged, MintFlow enforces the constraint while minimizing unnecessary deviation from the pretrained distribution.

The Price of Greenwashing: Algorithmic Verification and Market Discipline using Conformal Machine Learning
arXiv:2610.02225v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While corporate sustainability mandates are expanding, the systemic reliance on self-reported emissions data exposes financial markets to pervasive greenwashing. Current literature relies heavily on subjective ESG ratings or textual sentiment analysis, leaving a critical econometric gap in objectively quantifying physical climate realities. To resolve this information asymmetry, we fuse U.S. SEC financial fundamentals with facility-level EPA greenhouse gas registries to establish a mathematically guaranteed baseline of physical corporate emissions. Leveraging a gradient boosting architecture and Mondrian Conformal Prediction, we quantify the shortfall between self-reported data and this algorithmic baseline into a novel Conformal-Weighted Continuous Divergence (CWCD) metric. Evaluating this divergence via a cross-sectional lead-lag econometric design, we uncover a robust mechanism of market discipline: algorithmic emissions divergence exh
