Introspection in Learned Semantic Scene Graph Localisation
This work investigates how semantics influence localisation performance and robustness in a learned self-supervised, contrastive semantic localisation framework. After training a localisation network on both original and perturbed maps, we conduct a thorough post-hoc introspection analysis to probe whether the model filters environmental noise and prioritises distinctive landmarks over routine clutter. We validate various interpretability methods and present a comparative reliability analysis. …

BlackboxNLP-2025 MIB Shared Task: Exploring Ensemble Strategies for Circuit Localization Methods
The Circuit Localization track of the Mechanistic Interpretability Benchmark (MIB) evaluates methods for localizing circuits within large language models (LLMs), i.e., subnetworks responsible for specific task behaviors. In this work, we investigate whether ensembling two or more circuit localization methods can improve performance. We explore two variants: parallel and sequential ensembling. In parallel ensembling, we combine attribution scores assigned to each edge by different methods-e.g., …

A strong finiteness condition for smashing localisations
We define a class of smashing localisations which we call compactly central, and classify compactly central localisations of $Sp_{(p)}$ and of $Sp$. Our main result is that $L_n^f$ is a compactly central localisation. A map $α: 1 \to A$ in a presentably symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathscr{C}$ is central if there exists a homotopy $α\otimes id_A \simeq id_A \otimes α: A \to A \otimes A$. A central map $α$ can be used to produce a smashing localisation $L_α$ of $\mathscr{C}$, be…

Coordinate-Consistent Localization via Continuous-Time Calibration and Fusion of UWB and SLAM Observations
Onboard simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) methods are commonly used to provide accurate localization information for autonomous robots. However, the coordinate origin of SLAM estimate often resets for each run. On the other hand, UWB-based localization with fixed anchors can ensure a consistent coordinate reference across sessions; however, it requires an accurate assignment of the anchor nodes' coordinates. To this end, we propose a two-stage approach that calibrates and fuses UWB d…

Dissipation-Enhanced Localization in a Disorder-Free $\mathbb{Z}_2$ Lattice Gauge System
The $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge model, as the simplest realization of a lattice gauge theory, exhibits rich and unconventional physics. One of its most remarkable features is disorder-free localization, where localization emerges not from explicit quenched disorder but from static background $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge charges, leading to persistent memory of the initial state. In this work, we investigate the dissipative dynamics of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge model by coupling it to a Markovia…

Aerial-ground Cross-modal Localization: Dataset, Ground-truth, and Benchmark
Accurate visual localization in dense urban environments poses a fundamental task in photogrammetry, geospatial information science, and robotics. While imagery is a low-cost and widely accessible sensing modality, its effectiveness on visual odometry is often limited by textureless surfaces, severe viewpoint changes, and long-term drift. The growing public availability of airborne laser scanning (ALS) data opens new avenues for scalable and precise visual localization by leveraging ALS as a pr…
