WaveLander: A Generalizable Hierarchical Control Framework for UAV Landing on Wave-Disturbed Platforms via Reinforcement Learning

WaveLander:一种可推广的分层控制框架,通过强化学习实现无人机在波动扰动平台上的着陆
Li, Chun-Kit, Sit, Iok Long, Siu, Ming Fung, Kui, Ka Yu, Lin, Hin Wang, Wang, Pengyu, Shi, Ling
Abstract
Autonomous landing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on wave-disturbed marine platforms remains challenging due to stochastic platform motion, time-varying platform attitude, and uncertain touchdown conditions. Existing model-based methods often require accurate motion prediction and online optimization, while end-to-end learning approaches may suffer from high training complexity and limited interpretability. This paper presents WaveLander, a hierarchical control framework via reinforcement learning (RL) that decouples vertical landing decision-making from low-level flight stabilization. The RL policy maps a compact platform-relative observation to a scalar vertical velocity reference, while a conventional low-level flight controller maintains attitude stability and lateral tracking. This formulation reduces dynamic platform landing to a low-dimensional, timing-aware control problem and enables smooth landing behavior without explicit switching rules. Simulation results under randomized wave-induced platform motions show that WaveLander achieves robust landing performance and generalizes to unseen disturbance conditions, demonstrating the potential of hierarchical learning-based control for marine UAV recovery.

无人机(UAV)在波动扰动的海洋平台上自主着陆仍然面临挑战,原因包括平台运动的随机性、平台姿态的时变性以及不确定的着陆条件。现有的基于模型的方法通常需要准确的运动预测和在线优化,而端到端学习方法可能面临高训练复杂性和有限的可解释性。本文提出了WaveLander,一种通过强化学习(RL)实现的分层控制框架,该框架将垂直着陆决策与低级飞行稳定化解耦。RL策略将紧凑的相对平台观测映射为标量垂直速度参考,而传统的低级飞行控制器则保持姿态稳定和横向跟踪。这种表述将动态平台着陆问题简化为一个低维、时间感知的控制问题,并在没有明确切换规则的情况下实现平稳着陆行为。在随机波动引起的平台运动下的仿真结果表明,WaveLander实现了稳健的着陆性能,并能够推广到未见的扰动条件,展示了基于分层学习的控制在海洋无人机恢复中的潜力。

Adaptive Companionship for Group-Following Robots: Handling Dynamically Changing Group Formations

适应性伴随的群体跟随机器人:处理动态变化的群体队形
Vu, Cong-Thanh, Liu, Yen-Chen
Abstract
Accompanying a group of humans is an essential aspect of developing human-like social cognition in robots. However, human groups typically do not follow fixed formations, which poses significant challenges for robots in maintaining natural companionship behaviors. In this paper, we propose an adaptive group-accompaniment method for social robots based on Vision-Language Models (VLMs), leveraging their semantic reasoning capabilities to infer companion positions, maintain social distances, and understand group dynamics. The members of the group are first detected, and a perceptual module generates visual representations of the interaction group space as input to the VLM, which is then combined with a Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) controller to ensure stability and safety. Experimental evaluations across five scenarios show that the proposed method enables robots to accompany the group effectively, demonstrating a 15\% improvement in success rate and a 25\% reduction in collision rate compared to baseline approaches. Additionally, a user study indicates that the generated companionship behaviors are perceived as natural and socially appropriate.

The Three Dimensions of ROS 2 Middleware

ROS 2 中间件的三个维度
Lee, Sanghoon, Kim, Taehun, Corsaro, Angelo, Park, Kyung-Joon
Abstract
ROS 2 (Robot Operating System 2) has emerged as the de facto standard for modern robot software development, with middleware implementations such as the Data Distribution Service (DDS) and Zenoh forming the core infrastructure for distributed robotic communication. Despite their architectural flexibility, these middleware systems exhibit structural limitations, particularly under dynamic and resource-constrained wireless environments. This paper presents a systematic survey of ROS 2 middleware and introduces a conceptual framework to examine its architectural limits through three structural dimensions required by distributed robotic systems, namely Space, Time, and State. We first provide a structured analysis of middleware architecture and operational dynamics, including discovery, data exchange, and state management mechanisms. Building on this foundation, we formalize Time as temporal predictability for control loops, Space as spatial abstraction from physical topology to enable modular deployment, and State as contextual continuity despite dynamic node participation and intermittent connectivity. Through a comprehensive review of existing implementations and prior studies, we organize middleware research according to the structural trade-offs that arise among these dimensions. Under constrained wireless conditions, spatial abstraction can obscure network variability and weaken temporal guarantees, while mechanisms that preserve state continuity introduce computational and network overhead that competes with time-critical communication. These interactions reveal structural trade-offs that characterize the practical limits of contemporary robot middleware. By synthesizing architectural patterns and identifying gaps in current modeling and analysis approaches, this survey outlines a principled research roadmap for robust and scalable robotic middleware architectures.

ROS 2(机器人操作系统 2)已成为现代机器人软件开发的事实标准,其中间件实现如数据分发服务(DDS)和 Zenoh 构成了分布式机器人通信的核心基础设施。尽管这些中间件系统具有架构灵活性,但在动态和资源受限的无线环境下,它们表现出结构上的局限性。本文对 ROS 2 中间件进行了系统性的调查,并引入了一个概念框架,通过分布式机器人系统所需的三个结构维度,即空间(Space)、时间(Time)和状态(State),来考察其架构限制。我们首先对中间件架构和操作动态进行了结构化分析,包括发现、数据交换和状态管理机制。在此基础上,我们将时间形式化为控制循环的时间可预测性,将空间形式化为从物理拓扑到模块化部署的空间抽象,将状态形式化为尽管节点参与动态变化和连接间歇性,仍保持的上下文连续性。通过对现有实现和先前研究的全面回顾,我们根据这些维度之间出现的结构权衡组织了中间件研究。在受限的无线条件下,空间抽象可能会掩盖网络变异性并削弱时间保证,而保持状态连续性的机制则引入了与时间关键通信竞争的计算和网络开销。这些相互作用揭示了表征当代机器人中间件实际限制的结构权衡。通过综合架构模式并识别当前建模和分析方法中的空白,本文概述了一条原则性的研究路线图,以实现稳健且可扩展的机器人中间件架构。

Neuro-Symbolic Safety Guidance for Vision-Language-Action Models via Constrained Flow Matching

基于约束流匹配的神经符号安全引导用于视觉-语言-动作模型
English, William, Zheng, Hao, Ewetz, Rickard
Abstract
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated promising generalization capabilities across robotic manipulation tasks, yet their real-world deployment remains limited by the lack of effective safety measures. Specifically, existing safety measures only prevent collisions caused by the robot's next action. In this paper, we propose a neuro-symbolic safety guidance mechanism for flow matching based VLAs that enables predictive collision avoidance. Flow matching based VLAs determine the next actions by predicting a trajectory (a sequence of actions) through an iterative neural flow matching process. Our method formulates safety enforcement as a minimum-norm constrained optimization problem that corrects safety violations during the denoising process of noisy intermediate trajectory predictions. By analyzing predicted trajectories and applying corrections during iterative denoising, our approach anticipates collisions before they become unavoidable. This interleaving of symbolic constraint satisfaction with neural trajectory generation enables predictive collision avoidance rather than reactive intervention. On the SafeLIBERO benchmark, our method achieves 82.8% collision avoidance and 81.6% task success, a 6.3% and 19.8% improvement respectively over single-step methods, with the largest gains on long-horizon tasks where compounding distribution shift is most pronounced. Video demonstrations of our approach are included on our project page at https://willenglish.tech/SafetyGuidedFlowMatching/.

视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型在机器人操作任务中展示了良好的泛化能力,但其在现实世界中的应用受到缺乏有效安全措施的限制。现有的安全措施仅能防止机器人下一步动作引起的碰撞。本文提出了一种神经符号安全引导机制,适用于基于流匹配的VLA,能够实现预测性碰撞避免。基于流匹配的VLA通过迭代神经流匹配过程预测轨迹(动作序列)来确定下一步动作。我们的方法将安全执行形式化为一个最小范数约束优化问题,在噪声中间轨迹预测的去噪过程中纠正安全违规行为。通过分析预测轨迹并在迭代去噪过程中应用修正,我们的方法能够在碰撞变得不可避免之前进行预判。这种符号约束满足与神经轨迹生成的交错结合,使得预测性碰撞避免成为可能,而非被动干预。在SafeLIBERO基准测试中,我们的方法实现了82.8%的碰撞避免率和81.6%的任务成功率,分别比单步方法提高了6.3%和19.8%,在长时间任务中,复合分布偏移最为明显,获得了最大的提升。我们的方法的视频演示可在我们的项目页面 https://willenglish.tech/SafetyGuidedFlowMatching/ 中查看。

CommonRoad-Game: A Human-in-the-Loop Simulation Framework for Autonomous Driving

CommonRoad-Game:一种人机协同的自主驾驶仿真框架
Bi, Yunfei, Wang, Youran
Abstract
Motion planning algorithms should be evaluated in human-in-the-loop environments to ensure they produce safe and efficient behaviors during interactions. However, existing simulation platforms often rely on recorded datasets, lack dedicated interfaces for real-time human interaction, or remain weakly integrated with an autonomous driving ecosystem. Moreover, many human-in-the-loop simulators are computationally intensive by design, making them less suitable for rapid prototyping and flexible experimentation in early-stage autonomous driving research. To address these limitations, we present CommonRoad-Game, a lightweight human-in-the-loop simulation framework tightly integrated with the CommonRoad platform, focusing on the systematic testing of motion planners with human participation and the analysis of human driving behaviors in interactive scenarios. We introduce a multi-threaded architecture with a robust synchronization mechanism that aligns simulation time with wall-clock time, enabling deterministic and temporally consistent interaction between autonomous and human-driven vehicles. In addition, the framework provides a scenario generation module that records driving logs, allowing diverse and reproducible test cases to be constructed from human-in-the-loop experiments. Experimental results demonstrate that CommonRoad-Game achieves stable temporal synchronization, supports scalable multi-agent simulation, and seamlessly integrates CommonRoad-compatible motion planners to generate interactive driving scenarios.

运动规划算法应在包含人类参与的环境中进行评估,以确保它们在交互过程中产生安全和高效的行为。然而,现有的仿真平台通常依赖于录制的数据集,缺乏实时人机交互的专用接口,或与自主驾驶生态系统的集成较弱。此外,许多人机协同仿真器在设计上计算密集,使其不太适合在早期自主驾驶研究中进行快速原型开发和灵活实验。为了解决这些局限性,我们提出了CommonRoad-Game,一个与CommonRoad平台紧密集成的轻量级人机协同仿真框架,专注于系统性测试运动规划器与人类参与的情况,以及分析交互场景中的人类驾驶行为。我们引入了一种多线程架构,配备强大的同步机制,使仿真时间与实际时间对齐,从而实现自主驾驶与人类驾驶车辆之间的确定性和时间一致的交互。此外,该框架提供了一个场景生成模块,记录驾驶日志,允许从人机协同实验中构建多样且可重复的测试案例。实验结果表明,CommonRoad-Game实现了稳定的时间同步,支持可扩展的多智能体仿真,并无缝集成了与CommonRoad兼容的运动规划器,以生成交互式驾驶场景。源代码可在 https://github.com/Yunfei-Bi8/CommonRoad-Game 获取。

BIFROST: Bridging Invariant Feature Representation for Observation-space Sim2Real Transfer

BIFROST:桥接不变特征表示以实现观察空间的Sim2Real转移
Deng, Yunfu, Hanna, Josiah P.
Abstract
Sim2real transfer for robot policy learning suffers due to mismatch between simulation and reality. Existing methods typically address each gap in isolation through separate adaptation modules, which are composed or layered when both gaps coexist. Yet the basis for attempting sim2real in the first place is that there is shared structure between a task in simulation and reality, where equivalent actions from equivalent configurations produce equivalent long term outcomes regardless of domain specific differences in rendering or physics. In this paper, we study whether we can identify and exploit this shared structure from raw observations to train a policy that enables zero shot transfer. We introduce BIFROST, which learns a shared history encoder on paired cross-domain data via cross-domain bisimulation objective: observation-action sequences leading to equivalent long-term behavior are mapped to nearby latent states, regardless of domain. Policies trained on these latent states in simulation transfer zero-shot to reality. We provide empirical evidence on sim2sim visual navigation and sim2real contact rich manipulation task and visual servoing task that BIFROST achieves effective transfer where domain adaptation and co-training baselines fail under both visual and dynamics domain gaps.

机器人策略学习中的Sim2Real转移受到仿真与现实之间不匹配的影响。现有方法通常通过独立的适应模块分别解决每个差距,当两个差距共存时,这些模块会被组合或叠加。然而,尝试进行Sim2Real转移的基础在于仿真任务与现实之间存在共享结构,其中来自等效配置的等效动作在不同领域特定的渲染或物理差异下产生等效的长期结果。本文研究我们是否可以从原始观察中识别并利用这种共享结构,以训练能够实现零-shot转移的策略。我们引入了BIFROST,它通过跨领域双仿真目标在配对的跨领域数据上学习共享历史编码器:导致等效长期行为的观察-动作序列被映射到相邻的潜在状态,无论领域如何。在仿真中基于这些潜在状态训练的策略能够零-shot转移到现实中。我们提供了关于sim2sim视觉导航和sim2real接触丰富的操作任务以及视觉伺服任务的实证证据,表明BIFROST在视觉和动态领域差距下实现了有效的转移,而领域适应和共同训练的基线方法则失败。

SE(2) Navigation Mesh

SE(2) 导航网格
Shi, Shuyang, Qu, Kaixian, Chen, Changan, Kast, Ines, Ma, Yuntao, Hutter, Marco
Abstract
Global navigation for ground robots in complex multi-level environments requires representations that accurately capture traversable regions while enabling efficient path planning. Current approaches present key limitations: Point clouds and volumetric occupancy maps lack explicit surface structure for traversability estimation, whereas direct pathfinding on dense triangle meshes is computationally prohibitive. Navigation meshes mitigate these challenges through polygonal abstraction of the underlying mesh, but assume yaw-invariant traversability, rendering them unsuitable for non-circular robots in constrained spaces. We propose SE(2) Navigation Mesh (SE(2) NavMesh), a polygonal representation of traversable regions that encodes yaw-dependent traversability. Our method evaluates traversability using footprint masks and constructs a graph over yaw-specific layers with explicit translational and rotational connectivity. Grounded in this representation, we develop an A*-String Pulling-A* (ASA) pathfinding strategy that hierarchically optimizes robot position and heading. We also present an online method that incrementally updates the SE(2) NavMesh from streaming point clouds during concurrent geometry reconstruction. In simulation, the SE(2) NavMesh captures over 50% more traversable area than classical NavMeshes, and the SE(2) NavMesh + ASA pipeline consistently outperforms sampling-based baselines in constrained environments. Extensive real-world experiments on a physical robot validate real-time online generation and successful navigation across multiple environments.

在复杂的多层环境中,地面机器人进行全局导航需要能够准确捕捉可通行区域的表示,同时支持高效的路径规划。目前的方法存在关键限制:点云和体积占用图缺乏明确的表面结构以进行可通行性估计,而在密集三角网格上进行直接路径寻找在计算上是不可行的。导航网格通过对底层网格的多边形抽象来缓解这些挑战,但假设航向不变的可通行性,使其不适用于在受限空间内的非圆形机器人。我们提出了 SE(2) 导航网格(SE(2) NavMesh),这是一种编码航向依赖可通行性的可通行区域的多边形表示。我们的方法使用足迹掩模评估可通行性,并在特定航向层上构建具有明确平移和旋转连通性的图。基于这种表示,我们开发了一种 A*-字符串拉动-A*(ASA)路径寻找策略,该策略在层次上优化机器人的位置和航向。我们还提出了一种在线方法,该方法在并发几何重建过程中从流式点云中增量更新 SE(2) NavMesh。在仿真中,SE(2) NavMesh 捕捉到的可通行区域比经典的 NavMesh 多出超过 50%,而 SE(2) NavMesh + ASA 流程在受限环境中始终优于基于采样的基线。对物理机器人进行的大量真实世界实验验证了实时在线生成和在多个环境中成功导航的有效性。

A Reconfigurable Rocker-Bogie Robot for High Step Climbing and Turning

一种可重构的摇摆-博基机器人用于高阶梯攀爬和转向
Koizumi, Kento, Ohba, Tomoaki, Saito, Yuta, Morito, Takeya, Suzuki, Kenji
Abstract
This study proposes a reconfigurable rocker-bogie mechanism that achieves efficient turning motion with a small number of actuators while maintaining high step-climbing capability. By installing motors at the bogie joints and actively swinging up and down bogies, the system enables switching between four-wheel and six-wheel configurations. Omnidirectional wheels are mounted on the rear ends of the rockers, allowing smooth turning in the four-wheel configuration based on a differential-drive model. Experimental evaluation using a prototype robot demonstrated that the proposed mechanism achieves zero-radius turning at a speed more than five times that of a conventional rocker-bogie mechanism equipped with six non-steerable grip wheels, while requiring only approximately 17% of the total average wheel torque. In addition, the robot successfully climbed a 40 cm step with an average climbing time of 6.4 s, confirming its high turning and step-climbing performance.

Multi-Rate Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Wall-Supported Bipedal Locomotion of Quadrupedal Robots

基于多速率非线性模型预测控制的壁面支持四足机器人双足行走
Chunawala, Taizoon, Kim, Jeeseop, Hamed, Kaveh Akbari
Abstract
This paper presents a novel layered planning and control framework based on multi-rate nonlinear model predictive control (MR-NMPC) that enables quadrupedal robots to perform hybrid bipedal locomotion with wall-assisted support in constrained environments. Real-time trajectory optimization for this locomotion presents significant challenges, as the controller must simultaneously plan for both the contact points and the continuous trajectories of the robot's center of mass (CoM) and orientation within the robot's nonlinear dynamics while accounting for unilateral contact constraints, underactuation, and the switching nature of the robot's dynamics. At the high level of the control framework, an MR-NMPC is proposed, which dynamically plans both the discrete-time trajectories of the contact points and the continuous-time trajectories of the CoM and orientation, using a single rigid body (SRB) dynamics model. By incorporating contact-point planning within the multi-rate optimal control framework, this approach enhances dynamic stability compared to heuristic foot placement strategies. At the low level of the control framework, a nonlinear whole-body controller (WBC) based on virtual constraints and a quadratic program enforces full-order dynamics and tracks the MR-NMPC references. The proposed approach is validated through extensive numerical simulations demonstrating the robust wall-assisted bipedal locomotion of a Unitree A1 quadrupedal robot on rough terrains and under external disturbances in a constrained environment. Comparative analysis shows that the proposed MR-NMPC achieves a 2.9 times higher success rate compared to conventional MPC with heuristic-based foot placement strategies in negotiating irregular terrain at high speeds.

Path planning for unmanned naval surface vehicles

无人海面车辆的路径规划
Schwartz, Daniel G.
Abstract
There nowadays is a myriad of approaches to real-time avoidance of fixed obstacles for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and, to a lesser extent, also the task of avoiding moving obstacles such as boats, ships, swimmers, and other USVs, but both topics still present challenges. This paper offers novel approaches to both of these problems. It uses a combination of a global path planner, which finds a path from a start point to a goal point that avoids fixed obstacles (given that their locations are known in advance), and a local path planner, which can circumnavigate a moving obstacle (as well as any previously unknown fixed obstacles). The global planner is novel in that it employs a combination of three path planners, one known in the literature as Grassfire, one that is a new modification of Grassfire, and one that is a new, and arguably more intuitive, version of the well-known Probabilistic Roadmap. The local planner is novel in that it employs a higher-level decision logic based on its observations regarding the direction of movement of the obstacle relative to the USVs global path. This logic enables the USV to determine the best strategy for avoiding the obstacle by systematically routing the vehicle behind the obstacle rather than running parallel to it until the opportunity to pass appears. Simulations are provided that validate these claims. For comparison with other systems, the simulations include an implementation of the well-known D* algorithm, and the discussion covers additional dynamic path planning systems, which, like D*, do not necessarily route the vehicle behind the moving obstacle.

目前,对于无人海面车辆(USVs)实时避开固定障碍物的方法有很多种,而对于避开移动障碍物(如船只、游泳者及其他无人海面车辆)的研究则相对较少,但这两个问题仍然存在挑战。本文提出了针对这两个问题的新方法。它结合了一个全局路径规划器,该规划器能够在已知固定障碍物位置的前提下,从起点找到通往目标点的路径,并且一个局部路径规划器,该规划器能够绕过移动障碍物(以及任何先前未知的固定障碍物)。全局规划器的创新之处在于它采用了三种路径规划器的组合,其中一种在文献中被称为Grassfire,另一种是对Grassfire的新修改,第三种则是一个新的、可以说是更直观的著名概率路线图(Probabilistic Roadmap)版本。局部规划器的创新之处在于它基于对障碍物相对于USV全局路径的运动方向的观察,采用了更高层次的决策逻辑。这种逻辑使得USV能够确定避开障碍物的最佳策略,通过系统性地将车辆引导到障碍物后方,而不是平行行驶,直到出现超车的机会。文中提供了验证这些论点的仿真结果。为了与其他系统进行比较,仿真中还包括了著名的D*算法的实现,并且讨论了其他动态路径规划系统,这些系统与D*一样,并不一定将车辆引导到移动障碍物的后方。

One Demonstration Is Enough for Real-World Robotic Reinforcement Learning

一次演示足以实现真实世界的机器人强化学习
Liu, Yuwan, Yu, Hongze, Liu, Song, Wang, Yuhan, Zhang, Junge, Yang, Yaodong, Chen, Yuanpei, Zhang, Ceyao
Abstract
Learning effective robot control policies on physical hardware is challenging due to costly data collection and the difficulty of reward specification. Prior work has incorporated demonstrations into reinforcement learning (RL), yet existing approaches either require large numbers of demonstrations or depend on continuous human intervention during training. To address these limitations, we present AutoSERL, a framework that leverages a single demonstration to fully automate the intervention process in real-world robot RL. The framework includes three complementary mechanisms to accomplish certain tasks: a sliding window intervention mechanism that continuously guides exploration to prevent local optima and unsafe deviations, a safety recovery mechanism that detects and corrects failure states via predefined trajectory recovery points, and an intervention termination criterion that automatically disables guidance once the policy can independently complete the task, preserving its exploration advantage. We evaluate AutoSERL on six contact-intensive manipulation tasks across two robot platforms, spanning insertion, hanging, and hinge-based tasks. AutoSERL consistently outperforms SERL initialized with 20 demonstrations, behavior cloning, and MILES -- a dedicated one-shot imitation learning baseline -- across all tasks while matching HIL-SERL, achieves 100% success rate on insertion tasks, and demonstrates improved robustness to positional variations, all from a single demonstration.

Imagining the Sense of Touch: Touch-Informed Manipulation via Imagined Tactile Representations

想象触觉:通过想象的触觉表征进行触觉信息驱动的操作
Zhang, Zhiyuan, Desai, Adeesh, Hu, Jyun-Chi, Saka, Yosuke, Luu, Quan Khanh, Lei, Jiuzhou, Soleymanzadeh, Davood, Zhang, Bihao, Zheng, Minghui, She, Yu
Abstract
Tactile sensing can substantially improve contact-rich robotic manipulation, yet its practical deployment remains limited by the fragility, calibration requirements, and maintenance burden of tactile hardware. This raises a fundamental question: can robots benefit from tactile knowledge without requiring tactile sensors at deployment? We present TacImag, a tactile imagination framework that predicts tactile observations from vision and proprioception and uses the generated signals to guide manipulation policies. Trained from paired visuotactile demonstrations, TacImag enables touch-informed manipulation using only visual observations at test time. We evaluate TacImag on six simulated and four real-world manipulation tasks. Across simulation and real-world experiments, imagined tactile observations consistently improve manipulation performance without requiring tactile hardware. In real-world experiments, imagined force fields improve contact-sensitive tasks by 44.4% on average, whereas imagined tactile images improve texture-sensitive tasks by 23.3%, revealing that the effectiveness of tactile imagination depends strongly on the relationship between tactile representation and task requirements. Our results further suggest that tactile imagination does not simply recover missing tactile measurements. Instead, it acts as a form of contact-aware supervision that transforms subtle visual interaction cues into representations that are easier for manipulation policies to exploit.

CoRe: Combined Rewards with Vision-Language Model Feedback for Preference-Aligned Reinforcement Learning

CoRe:结合视觉-语言模型反馈的偏好对齐强化学习的综合奖励
Ni, Hexian, Lu, Tao, Cai, Yinghao
Abstract
Reward design remains a central challenge in reinforcement learning (RL). Hand-crafted rewards are often difficult to specify and may lead to suboptimal policies, while learned rewards from preferences can suffer from inefficiency and unstable training. Inspired by the dual nature of human learning explored in cognitive science, we decompose rewards into two complementary components: Formal Rewards (FR), explicitly designed based on task knowledge, and Residual Rewards (RR), learned from observations to capture implicit and nuanced preferences. Based on this decomposition, we propose CoRe, a hybrid framework that integrates FR and RR with vision-language models (VLMs) feedback to achieve preference-aligned policies without human involvement. Our contributions are twofold: (1) We propose a Formal Reward Module (FRM) that leverages VLMs to iteratively design and optimize FR based on task knowledge and preference feedback, enabling the continual improvement of policy during training; (2) We introduce a Residual Reward Module (RRM) that learns RR from video-level preference by employing VLMs to generate preference labels and capturing nuanced rewards that complement FR, ensuring alignment with human intent. Through the synergy of FRM and RRM, CoRe enables the automatic construction of reliable rewards that are efficient and preference-aligned. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CoRe outperforms existing approaches in terms of policy learning effectiveness and efficiency on ten robotic manipulation tasks in simulation and five real-worlds.

奖励设计仍然是强化学习(RL)中的一个核心挑战。手工设计的奖励往往难以明确指定,并可能导致次优策略,而从偏好中学习的奖励则可能面临效率低下和训练不稳定的问题。受到认知科学中人类学习双重性质的启发,我们将奖励分解为两个互补的组成部分:正式奖励(Formal Rewards, FR),基于任务知识明确设计,以及残余奖励(Residual Rewards, RR),通过观察学习以捕捉隐含和细微的偏好。基于这种分解,我们提出了CoRe,一个混合框架,结合FR和RR与视觉-语言模型(Vision-Language Models, VLMs)反馈,以实现无需人工干预的偏好对齐策略。我们的贡献有两个方面:(1)我们提出了一个正式奖励模块(Formal Reward Module, FRM),利用VLMs基于任务知识和偏好反馈迭代设计和优化FR,使得策略在训练过程中能够持续改进;(2)我们引入了一个残余奖励模块(Residual Reward Module, RRM),通过使用VLMs生成偏好标签,从视频级偏好中学习RR,捕捉补充FR的细微奖励,确保与人类意图的一致性。通过FRM和RRM的协同作用,CoRe能够自动构建高效且偏好对齐的可靠奖励。大量实验表明,CoRe在十个仿真中的机器人操作任务和五个真实世界任务上,在策略学习的有效性和效率方面优于现有方法。视频可以在我们的项目网站上找到:https://core-2026.github.io/

Lightweight Safe Reinforcement Learning for End-to-End UAV Navigation

轻量级安全强化学习用于端到端无人机导航
Zhang, Shenghui, Gao, YuXuan, Zhao, Songwei, Hu, Jifeng, Zhang, Zijing, Chen, Hechang
Abstract
With the rapid development of autonomous aerial systems, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly deployed in applications such as inspection, environmental monitoring, and rescue, creating growing demand for reliable autonomous navigation. However, autonomous UAV navigation in dense environments remains challenging under sparse perception and dynamic constraints. Most reinforcement learning (RL) methods lack explicit safety mechanisms, leading to unsafe exploration, unstable training, and risky behaviors, especially during high-speed flight. Even in safe RL approaches, safety is often enforced by projecting policy outputs onto a safe action set, which may introduce instability. Meanwhile, many learning-based methods rely on dense inputs or large networks, increasing computational burden and limiting lightweight onboard deployment. Facing the above challenges, we propose a safety-constrained perception-control integrated framework for UAV navigation. A lightweight network encodes sparse observations into collision-risk-aware features using asymmetric and depthwise separable convolutions. We formulate the task as a constrained Markov decision process within a hierarchical control architecture and solve it using a Lagrangian-based safe PPO algorithm. Curriculum learning further improves training stability. Experiments with varying obstacle densities and flight speeds demonstrate higher success rates, improved safety, and better efficiency than existing reinforcement learning baselines.

随着自主航空系统的快速发展,无人机(UAV)在检查、环境监测和救援等应用中的部署日益增多,可靠的自主导航需求也在不断增长。然而,在稀疏感知和动态约束下,密集环境中的自主无人机导航仍然面临挑战。大多数强化学习(RL)方法缺乏明确的安全机制,导致不安全的探索、不稳定的训练和高风险行为,尤其是在高速飞行期间。即使在安全强化学习方法中,安全性通常通过将策略输出投影到安全动作集上来强制执行,这可能引入不稳定性。同时,许多基于学习的方法依赖于密集输入或大型网络,增加了计算负担并限制了轻量级机载部署。针对上述挑战,我们提出了一种安全约束的感知-控制集成框架用于无人机导航。一个轻量级网络利用非对称和深度可分离卷积将稀疏观测编码为碰撞风险感知特征。我们将任务形式化为一个层次控制架构下的约束马尔可夫决策过程,并使用基于拉格朗日的安全PPO算法进行求解。课程学习进一步提高了训练的稳定性。不同障碍物密度和飞行速度的实验表明,与现有的强化学习基线相比,我们的方法具有更高的成功率、改善的安全性和更好的效率。

VLA-Corrector: Lightweight Detect-and-Correct Inference for Adaptive Action Horizon

VLA-Corrector:轻量级的检测与修正推理用于自适应动作视野
Pan, Yi, Pan, Miao, Lu, Qi, Huang, Jiaming, Zhang, Man, Huang, Siteng, Li, Xin, Zhang, Jie, Shen, Yongliang, Zhang, Xuhong, Zhang, Wenqi
Abstract
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation models have recently achieved strong progress in embodied intelligence. To reduce policy-call frequency while preserving temporal coherence, most generative policies adopt an action chunk mechanism, executing multiple future actions in an open-loop manner under a fixed action horizon. However, this "predict-then-blindly-execute" paradigm sacrifices closed-loop reactivity: in contact-rich physical interactions, even small local perturbations can rapidly amplify within the open-loop blind spot, leading to compounding errors and ultimately task failure. To address this limitation, we propose VLA-Corrector, a lightweight corrective inference framework for action-chunked VLA policies. Without modifying the backbone policy weights, VLA-Corrector introduces a lightweight Latent-space Vision Monitor (LVM) that continuously compares predicted and actual visual feature evolution, enabling online detection of visual dynamics deviations. Once persistent deviation is detected, the system triggers a truncation event, discards the remaining stale actions, and invokes corrective replanning via Online Gradient Guidance (OGG). The detect-and-correct mechanism of VLA-Corrector naturally induces an event-triggered adaptive action horizon: it preserves long-horizon execution when the current chunk remains reliable, and invokes short-horizon corrective replanning when execution begins to drift. In doing so, VLA-Corrector mitigates the trade-off imposed by static horizons between execution robustness and policy-call frequency. It can be integrated into different VLA models without further retraining the VLA backbone, interrupting compounding errors while preserving much of the efficiency benefit of action chunking and substantially improving robustness in long-horizon, contact-rich robotic manipulation tasks.

视觉-语言-动作(VLA)基础模型最近在具身智能方面取得了显著进展。为了减少策略调用频率,同时保持时间一致性,大多数生成策略采用动作块机制,在固定的动作视野下以开放循环的方式执行多个未来动作。然而,这种“预测-然后盲目执行”的范式牺牲了闭环反应性:在接触丰富的物理交互中,即使是小的局部扰动也会在开放循环的盲区内迅速放大,导致累积错误并最终导致任务失败。为了解决这一限制,我们提出了VLA-Corrector,一种轻量级的修正推理框架,适用于动作块化的VLA策略。在不修改基础策略权重的情况下,VLA-Corrector引入了一个轻量级的潜在空间视觉监测器(Latent-space Vision Monitor, LVM),该监测器持续比较预测的视觉特征演变与实际演变,从而实现在线检测视觉动态偏差。一旦检测到持续偏差,系统会触发截断事件,丢弃剩余的过时动作,并通过在线梯度引导(Online Gradient Guidance, OGG)调用修正重规划。VLA-Corrector的检测与修正机制自然引入了事件触发的自适应动作视野:当当前块保持可靠时,它保留长视野执行;而当执行开始偏离时,则调用短视野的修正重规划。通过这样做,VLA-Corrector减轻了静态视野在执行稳健性与策略调用频率之间的权衡。它可以集成到不同的VLA模型中,而无需进一步重新训练VLA基础模型,从而中断累积错误,同时保留动作块化的高效性优势,并显著提高在长视野、接触丰富的机器人操作任务中的稳健性。

DL-SLAM: Enabling High-Fidelity Gaussian Splatting SLAM in Dynamic Environments based on Dual-Level Probability

DL-SLAM:基于双层概率的动态环境中高保真高斯点云SLAM的实现
Xu, Ziheng, Li, Qingfeng, Liu, Xuefeng, Chen, Chen, Niu, Jianwei
Abstract
Recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have enabled significant progress in dense dynamic Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM). Prevailing methods typically discard predefined dynamic objects, ignoring that transiently static objects offer valuable geometric constraints for pose estimation. A recent work attempts to leverage this potential by employing per-pixel uncertainty maps to quantify the magnitude of motion. While this approach enables transiently static objects to enhance pose estimation, it erroneously integrates these objects into the static map, resulting in persistent artifacts. Moreover, its reliance on purely geometric information leads to ambiguous object boundaries in the uncertainty maps. To overcome these limitations, we present DL-SLAM, a monocular Gaussian Splatting SLAM system built upon a novel dual-level probabilistic framework. Our method computes dynamic probability maps by combining semantic and geometric information. These pixel-level probabilities are lifted to 3D and aggregated to derive an object-level dynamic probability for each instance. Object-level probability enables the categorical pruning of dynamic Gaussians, resulting in an artifact-free static map. The static map, in turn, provides a geometrically consistent guidance to refine the pixel-wise probabilities, enhancing their reliability. Experimental results demonstrate that DL-SLAM outperforms existing approaches, improving tracking accuracy by up to 13\% while generating high-fidelity semantic maps.

近年来,3D高斯点云(3DGS)的进展使得密集动态同时定位与地图构建(SLAM)取得了显著进展。现有方法通常会忽略预定义的动态物体,忽视了瞬态静态物体为姿态估计提供的宝贵几何约束。最近的研究尝试通过使用每像素不确定性图来量化运动幅度,从而利用这一潜力。虽然这种方法使得瞬态静态物体能够增强姿态估计,但它错误地将这些物体整合到静态地图中,导致持续的伪影。此外,其对纯几何信息的依赖导致不确定性图中的物体边界模糊。为了克服这些局限性,我们提出了DL-SLAM,一种基于新颖双层概率框架的单目高斯点云SLAM系统。我们的方法通过结合语义和几何信息计算动态概率图。这些像素级概率被提升到三维并聚合,以推导出每个实例的物体级动态概率。物体级概率使得动态高斯的分类修剪成为可能,从而生成无伪影的静态地图。静态地图反过来为细化像素级概率提供了几何一致的指导,增强了其可靠性。实验结果表明,DL-SLAM优于现有方法,跟踪精度提高了多达13\%,同时生成高保真的语义地图。

SPLC: Social Preference Learning for Crowd Robot Navigation

SPLC:用于人群机器人导航的社会偏好学习
Chen, Zixuan, Fu, Hao, Hu, Haiwen, Zheng, Shiquan
Abstract
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) holds significant potential for crowd robot navigation in human-robot coexistence applications. However, the inherent complexity of pedestrian motion renders the design of effective reward functions for promoting socially compliant robot behaviors a persistent challenge. This paper proposes a Social Preference Learning for Crowd Robot Navigation (SPLC) algorithm to eliminate the need for detailed reward design. Its core innovation lies in the introduction of a social preference feedback mechanism to automatically generate preference data through principled preference evaluation criteria. By explicitly accounting for the intricacies of pedestrian dynamics, the pipeline mitigates the reward bias and facilitates the systematic quantification of broad social norms, thereby fostering socially compliant behaviors. Extensive experiments integrating SPLC with offline RL methods demonstrate consistent improvements over state-of-the-art baselines across standard performance metrics. Furthermore, real-world experiments on the TurtleBot4 further validate the effectiveness of SPLC in practical human-robot coexistence settings.

Abstract
Manipulating fast and dynamically moving targets in unstructured 3D environments remains challenging for embodied AI.

We propose PhysMani, a framework that couples a physics-principled 3D Gaussian world model with a future-aware action policy model. The world model learns a divergence-free Gaussian velocity field via online optimization for fast and physically grounded future dynamics prediction. The policy model integrates the predicted 3D scene future dynamics through a learnable token based cross-attention module. We introduce PhysMani-Bench, a dynamic manipulation benchmark with 16 tasks, and demonstrate a superior success rate over strong baselines in both simulation and real-world robot experiments.

A Stereo Visual SLAM System Using Object-Level Motion Estimation and Geometric Filtering Based on Cross Disparity

基于交叉视差的对象级运动估计与几何过滤的立体视觉SLAM系统
Dhali, Sujan Kumar, Dasgupta, Bhaskar
Abstract
This paper presents OCD SLAM, a dynamic stereo visual SLAM framework that extends ORB-SLAM2 by jointly addressing dynamic objects and dynamic features in the scene. Usual visual SLAM systems operating in dynamic environments often fail in the presence of moving objects, due to the static-world assumption used in pose estimation and mapping. To address this predicament, we introduce a novel geometric approach based on the discrepancy between disparity and a newly proposed notion called ``cross disparity'', which exploits both temporal and stereo inconsistency to identify dynamic feature points. Complementary to this feature-level motion analysis, OCD SLAM integrates a 3D object detection module (SMOKE) with Kalman filter-based object tracking to perform object-level motion classification, enabling robust separation of static and dynamic scene elements for accurate pose estimation. The proposed approach has been evaluated on various sequences from the KITTI Odometry and KITTI Raw datasets. Results demonstrate that OCD SLAM achieves significant improvement in trajectory accuracy compared to ORB-SLAM2 and several state-of-the-art dynamic SLAM methods. Ablation studies further demonstrate the effectiveness of the cross disparity module in the KITTI Raw dataset and show that this method is able to detect dynamic features that are missed by the 3D object detection scheme alone.

Cross-Platform Control for Autonomous Surface Vehicles via Adaptive Reinforcement Learning

通过自适应强化学习实现自主水面车辆的跨平台控制
Jiang, Ruiheng, Bi, Thomas, D'Andrea, Raffaello, Ramachandran, Aswin
Abstract
Autonomous surface vehicles vary widely in hydrodynamic and actuation characteristics, yet most controllers are designed for single-platform deployment. We present an adaptive reinforcement learning approach for trajectory tracking that enables zero-shot cross-platform deployment using a single policy. Since the deployment platform's dynamics are unknown to the policy, we address cross-platform generalization with the standard partial-observability approach of conditioning on interaction history, employing a teacher-student architecture in which a learned module infers a latent representation of the platform dynamics. The policy is trained in simulation under randomized vessel dynamics and is deployed zero-shot to two real-world platforms without any fine-tuning, despite relying on a simple analytical dynamics model rather than a high-fidelity hydrodynamic simulator. In real-world experiments on two different platforms, the adaptive policy outperforms non-adaptive learning-based baselines by up to 58% in position mean absolute error while approaching the tracking accuracy of a platform-specific tuned controller.

Guided Action Flow: Q-Guided Inference for Flow-Matching Vision-Language-Action Policies

引导动作流:基于Q的流匹配视觉-语言-动作策略推理
Yang, Liuhaichen, Jiang, Zhuang, Sheng, Chenchao, Tang, Zezhi
Abstract
Flow-matching vision-language-action policies generate robot action chunks through an iterative transport process, creating an opportunity for test-time guidance without retraining the base policy. We study this opportunity in Guided Action Flow, an inference-time framework that keeps a pretrained SmolVLA policy frozen and uses a learned action-chunk critic to guide its reverse-time flow sampler. The critic is trained from real success and failure rollouts, can condition on task-description features from the frozen SmolVLA language pathway, and is used only through action gradients during sampling. We evaluate the approach on LIBERO manipulation tasks. A single-task critic improves success from 68.0% to 82.0% on one seed window and from 82.0% to 86.0% on another. A multi-family task-description critic improves validation success from 46.0% to 56.0%, while the locked held-out test gain is positive but modest, from 65.0% to 67.5%. These results support the feasibility of Q-guided inference for frozen flow-matching VLA policies, while showing that critic generalization and uncertainty-aware guidance remain the central bottlenecks.

Choreographing the Way of Water: A Computational Framework for Aquatic Robotic Art

水之编舞:水下机器人艺术的计算框架

Abstract
Robotic choreography in open water is governed by nonlinear fluid dynamics, which impose significant challenges due to environmental disturbances and nonlinear system dynamics. This paper presents the cyber-physical architecture of Way of Water, a vertically integrated framework that orchestrates a fleet of autonomous surface vessels as a distributed choreographic platform. Moving beyond the surface-pixel paradigm, these vessels use laminar nozzles and multi-zone lighting to extend their expressive range from the 2D water plane into the 3D volumetric domain. Our primary contribution is the Way of Water Studio, a browser-based, timeline-compositing authoring paradigm that treats the fleet as a DAW-like instrument for music-responsive choreography. The Studio encapsulates Sequential Convex Programming for trajectory generation and Model Predictive Control for disturbance rejection presented through a visual timeline, broadening access to high-performance aquatic robotics for non-programmer artists. Grounding the Studio is the full cyber-physical stack: a custom holonomic chassis, a state-estimation and control stack tuned for the aquatic domain, and an LTE/MQTT fleet link with RTK-GPS time synchronization. We report on the system's validation across two distinct deployments: an 18-vessel Swan Lake interpretation at Lake Zurich and an 8-vessel Time Space Existence 2025 Venice Biennale demonstration at Forte Marghera, establishing a foundational reference for the design and deployment of fluidic robotic swarms.

Bridge-WA: Predicting Where and How the World Changes for Robotic Action

Bridge-WA:预测世界变化的地点和方式以实现机器人行动
Bai, Yongjie, Wang, Hanting, Dai, Mingtong, Zhong, Qijun, Liu, Yang, Lin, Liang
Abstract
General-purpose vision-language-action models benefit from large vision-language priors, but effective manipulation also requires anticipating action-relevant scene changes. Existing world-action models often rely on large generative world models or dense future rollouts, which are expensive and spend capacity on visual details weakly coupled to control. We present Bridge-WA, a lightweight world-action framework that distills a frozen future-change teacher into three compact priors: future tokens for intended outcomes, change maps for intervention support, and motion-flow maps for local transition direction. A WorldBridge conditions the action transformer on these priors through multi-source attention memories and spatial-temporal biases, while the teacher model is removed at inference. Across VLABench, RoboTwin2.0, LIBERO-Plus and real-robot evaluations, Bridge-WA improves task success, progress, and robustness, with particularly clear gains under out-of-distribution visual shifts. By focusing action generation on where and how the scene will change, Bridge-WA suppresses nuisance appearance factors such as background, lighting, and distractors, leading to better generalization without deployment-time dense future-image generation.

Actuator Reality Shaping for Zero-Shot Sim-to-Real Robot Learning

零-shot模拟到真实机器人学习的执行器现实塑造
Yamamori, Satoshi, Ishihara, Koji, Minamikawa, Kentaro, Ohomori, Kiyoharu, Yazaki, Taiyo, Sugimoto, Norikazu, Morimoto, Jun
Abstract
Sim-to-real transfer in robot learning is often limited by discrepancies between the ideal actuator dynamics assumed during policy training and the nonlinear, hardware-dependent behavior of physical motors. While conventional approaches attempt to bridge this gap by increasing simulator fidelity through system identification, domain randomization, or learned actuator models, we introduce an alternative paradigm: actuator reality shaping. Instead of modifying the simulator to match the real world, our method shapes the closed-loop behavior of physical actuators to match the idealized second-order reference dynamics used in simulation. By equipping each joint with a two-degree-of-freedom feedforward--feedback controller, we decouple reference-response shaping from robust stabilization, thereby providing a standardized actuator interface for reinforcement learning policies. As a result, policies trained only with the prescribed reference model can be deployed zero-shot on real hardware without task-level fine-tuning or learned actuator models. We validate the approach on a single-joint high-gear-ratio servo under external loads and a 7-DOF robotic arm reaching task, where actuator reality shaping substantially reduces sim-to-real tracking error and improves zero-shot task performance compared with standard servo-control and representative real-to-sim-to-real baselines. We further demonstrate zero-shot transfer on a wheeled-legged robot driving over a slope and a humanoid robot walking, suggesting that actuator reality shaping can serve as a reusable interface for robot learning across diverse hardware platforms.

CoFL-S: Spatially Queryable Sector Flow Fields for Local Language-Conditioned Navigation

CoFL-S:可空间查询的局部语言条件导航流场

Abstract
Vision-Language Navigation has increasingly emphasized high-level instruction reasoning, memory, global map construction, and instruction decomposition, while the low-level action representation remains comparatively underexplored. We propose CoFL-S, a low-level vision-language-action framework that predicts a language-conditioned flow field over the robot's local visible sector and generates continuous trajectories by rolling out the predicted field. To train this low-level representation, we convert each VLN-CE episode, originally a whole-episode instruction paired with an action sequence, into frame-level local supervision with aligned sub-instructions and matched action, trajectory, and dense flow-field targets. For evaluation, we introduce a continuous-time Habitat benchmark that isolates low-level action interfaces from instruction decomposition and executes all methods through a shared velocity-command controller, enabling decomposition-independent closed-loop comparison across different planner frequencies rather than fixed discrete forward-and-turn transitions in VLN-CE. Under matched encoders and training settings, CoFL-S consistently outperforms action-token and action-chunk baselines across planner frequencies in the continuous-time Habitat benchmark, and zero-shot real-world closed-loop deployment further shows its advantage over both baselines beyond simulation.

Abstract
Safe landing-site assessment in unstructured environments remains a key challenge for autonomous UAV deployment, as vision-only learning approaches often degrade under terrain variability and provide limited transparency in safety decisions. We present NEUROSYMLAND, a neuro-symbolic landing-site assessment system that integrates lightweight perception with explicit safety reasoning. The framework constructs a probabilistic semantic scene graph from onboard visual input and evaluates candidate landing regions using symbolic constraints capturing terrain flatness, obstacle clearance, and spatial consistency, enabling structured reasoning under perceptual uncertainty while maintaining edge-feasible execution. Across 72 simulated landing scenarios spanning diverse terrains, NEUROSYMLAND achieves 61 successful assessments, outperforming four competitive baselines (37-57 successes). To evaluate deployability, we further conduct 100 hardware-in-the-loop trials with randomized initial poses, profiling end-to-end latency, stage-wise execution time, and system-level metrics including CPU/GPU utilization, memory footprint, and power consumption. Results demonstrate improved robustness and interpretability with bounded edge-resource usage. Profiling shows that symbolic reasoning contributes only a small fraction of end-to-end latency, while the main computational cost arises from perception and PSSG construction. These results demonstrate the feasibility of deploying the landing-site assessment stack on edge-constrained UAV hardware, and all source code, datasets, prompts, and symbolic rule refinement examples are released in an open-source repository

在非结构化环境中进行安全着陆点评估仍然是无人机自主部署的一个关键挑战,因为仅依赖视觉的学习方法在地形变化下往往会降低性能,并且在安全决策中提供有限的透明度。我们提出了NEUROSYMLAND,一个神经符号着陆点评估系统,它将轻量级感知与明确的安全推理相结合。该框架从机载视觉输入构建一个概率语义场景图,并利用符号约束评估候选着陆区域,这些约束捕捉地形平坦性、障碍物清除和空间一致性,从而在感知不确定性下实现结构化推理,同时保持边缘可行的执行。在72个涵盖多样地形的模拟着陆场景中,NEUROSYMLAND成功实现了61次评估,超越了四个竞争基线(成功次数为37-57)。为了评估可部署性,我们进一步进行了100次硬件在环试验,随机初始姿态,分析了端到端延迟、各阶段执行时间以及包括CPU/GPU利用率、内存占用和功耗在内的系统级指标。结果表明,在有限的边缘资源使用下,鲁棒性和可解释性得到了改善。分析显示,符号推理仅占端到端延迟的一小部分,而主要的计算成本来自感知和PSSG构建。这些结果证明了在边缘受限的无人机硬件上部署着陆点评估堆栈的可行性,所有源代码、数据集、提示和符号规则细化示例均已在一个开源库中发布。

Leveraging the DJI Tello drone platform, we implemented a modular architecture that integrates three core artificial intelligence functionalities: facial detection, facial recognition, and depth estimation from monocular vision. A web-based interface enables seamless drone control and real-time video monitoring, while a Python-based server processes visual data and executes inference pipelines using lightweight neural models optimized for embedded systems. Unlike existing commercial solutions, this system emphasizes accessibility, low-cost hardware, and open-source technologies. The system demonstrates robust performance in real-world conditions, including person tracking, indoor scanning, and autonomous line following using virtual sensors. This project validates the applicability of advanced AI techniques in real-time robotic systems and illustrates the feasibility of deploying them on constrained hardware, providing a foundation for future research in autonomous UAVs for military, rescue, and surveillance missions.

The Moving Eye: Enhancing VLA Spatial Generalization via Hybrid Dynamic Data Collection

动态视角:通过混合动态数据收集增强视觉-语言-动作(VLA)空间泛化能力
Tang, Jincheng, Zhu, Yilong, Xie, Zhengyuan, Liu, Jiang-Jiang, Zhang, Jiaxing
Abstract
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown remarkable promise in generalized robotic manipulation. However, their spatial generalization remains fragile. We argue that simply increasing the number of viewpoints is insufficient. Models often fall into the trap of Shortcut Learning, latching onto spurious correlations (e.g., fixed relative poses between objects or between the camera and robot base) rather than learning true spatial relationships. In this work, we propose a data-centric solution to enhance VLA spatial generalization. We utilize a dual-arm setup where one arm performs manipulation while the other serves as a mobile environmental camera. We systematically evaluate three data distribution patterns: Fixed, Multi-Fixed, and Moving Views. Our findings reveal that a hybrid strategy, combining continuous camera motion with diverse static viewpoints, yields the best performance by substantially reducing spurious correlations while maintaining training stability. Our experiments demonstrate that this strategy mitigates spurious correlations, enabling VLAs to generalize to unseen camera poses and object configurations where simply adding more static viewpoints fails. Crucially, we reveal that the susceptibility to shortcut learning and the struggle with spatial generalization are universal characteristics shared across diverse architectures. Consequently, all evaluated models (ACT, Diffusion, and VLA models including Pi0 and Gr00t) benefit significantly from our mixed data strategy.

视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型在广义机器人操作中展现了显著的潜力。然而,它们的空间泛化能力仍然脆弱。我们认为,仅仅增加视角数量是不够的。模型往往陷入捷径学习的陷阱,依赖于虚假的相关性(例如,物体之间或相机与机器人基座之间的固定相对姿态),而不是学习真实的空间关系。在本研究中,我们提出了一种以数据为中心的解决方案,以增强VLA的空间泛化能力。我们利用双臂设置,其中一只手臂执行操作,而另一只手臂作为移动环境相机。我们系统地评估了三种数据分布模式:固定视角、多固定视角和移动视角。我们的研究结果表明,结合持续相机运动与多样静态视角的混合策略能够显著提高性能,显著减少虚假相关性,同时保持训练的稳定性。我们的实验表明,这一策略减轻了虚假相关性,使VLA能够在未见过的相机姿态和物体配置中进行泛化,而仅仅增加更多静态视角则无法实现。重要的是,我们揭示了对捷径学习的敏感性和空间泛化的困难是不同架构普遍存在的特征。因此,所有评估的模型(包括ACT、Diffusion以及VLA模型如Pi0和Gr00t)都从我们的混合数据策略中显著受益。

HEFT: Heavy-Payload Full-size Humanoid Teleoperation with Privileged Motion Guidance and Windowed Payload Curriculum

HEFT:具特权运动引导和窗口化负载课程的重载全尺寸类人机器人遥操作
Liu, Chenxin, Lu, Qingzhou, Yang, Guangxiao, Shi, Xuanyang, Yang, Chenghan, Guo, Yanjiang, Chen, Jianyu
Abstract
General motion tracking and teleoperation offer a promising path to scalable humanoid skill acquisition, yet most existing frameworks are validated on compact platforms or without real payload interaction, leaving full-size humanoids with real payloads largely unexplored. Scaling to full-size humanoids introduces two compounding challenges: their larger inertia and tighter balance margins make tracking highly sensitive to noise, drift, and retargeting errors from commodity VR trackers, while their payload potential remains largely underutilized. We present HEFT, a heavy-payload full-size humanoid teleoperation framework that addresses both challenges. HEFT learns from deployable noisy VR references with physically plausible reconstructed references through Privileged Motion Guidance (PMG), and uses a Windowed Payload Curriculum (WPC) with expert-guided payload caps to acquire robust heavy-payload tracking. We deploy HEFT on L7, a 175cm, 65kg humanoid. The robot tracks motions including turns, forward/backward locomotion, and squats under payloads up to 24kg.

ACID: Action Consistency via Inverse Dynamics for Planning with World Models

ACID:通过逆动态实现的动作一致性用于世界模型规划
Seo, Gawon, Kim, Dongwon, Kwak, Suha
Abstract
Decision-time planning with action-conditioned world models has become a popular paradigm for embodied control. However, the standard planning cost judges a candidate solely by how close its predicted terminal state lies to the goal, leaving the realizability of the intermediate transitions unchecked -- a predicted trajectory can look convincing while the environment rollout drifts away from it. In this paper, we propose ACID, a decision-time planning framework that introduces cycle action consistency: the action inferred backward from a predicted transition by an inverse dynamics model should recover the one that was conditioned on. We fold this per-step residual into the planning cost via a scale-invariant adaptive weight. Across four action-conditioned world models and six tasks spanning rigid and deformable manipulation, articulated control, and visual navigation, ACID consistently improves planning and matches the baseline's accuracy with substantially less planning compute.

基于动作条件的世界模型进行决策时规划已成为具身控制的一个热门范式。然而,标准的规划成本仅通过候选者的预测终态与目标的接近程度来评判,未能检查中间过渡的可实现性——预测轨迹可能看起来令人信服,但环境的实际演化可能与之偏离。在本文中,我们提出了ACID,一个决策时规划框架,引入了循环动作一致性:通过逆动态模型从预测过渡推断出的动作应当恢复为条件动作。我们通过一个尺度不变的自适应权重将每一步的残差折叠到规划成本中。在四个动作条件的世界模型和六个涵盖刚性与可变形操作、关节控制和视觉导航的任务中,ACID始终改善了规划效果,并在显著减少规划计算的情况下与基线的准确性相匹配。

LIME: Learning Intent-aware Camera Motion from Egocentric Video

LIME:从自我中心视频中学习意图感知的相机运动
Sun, Boyang, Li, Jiajie, Yang, Yung-Hsu, Zhang, Chenyangguang, Engelbracht, Tim, Hong, Sunghwan, Cadena, Cesar, Pollefeys, Marc, Blum, Hermann
Abstract
Autonomous robots often need to move their camera before they can act: to inspect an object, reveal an occluded region, or obtain a view that responds to a user's intent. While vision-language navigation translates instructions to base motion and vision-language-action policies map instructions to manipulation actions, language-conditioned camera motion remains comparatively underexplored as a first-class action. We formulate language-conditioned camera motion generation: given a current RGB observation and a free-form natural-language intent, predict a relative target camera pose for the next observation. This task is inherently non-trivial: viewpoint changes are driven by latent perceptual intentions, and a valid motion may operate at different semantic granularity, from entering a room to looking around a corner, inspecting a visible object, or revealing an occluded detail. To model this structure, we mine multi-intention camera-motion supervision from egocentric video, pairing plausible intents and observation-gain descriptions with relative SE(3) target poses. We propose LIME, a vision-language camera-motion generator that combines an auto-regressive observation-gain output with a continuous flow-matching pose head. This design lets the model jointly predict what the next view should reveal while representing multi-hypothesis target views. Across experiments and downstream robotic tasks, we show that LIME can learn to actively choose camera poses from passive human video, turning ordinary egocentric recordings into supervision for intent-aware active perception.

自主机器人在行动之前往往需要移动其相机:以检查物体、揭示被遮挡区域或获取响应用户意图的视图。虽然视觉-语言导航将指令转化为基础运动,而视觉-语言-动作策略则将指令映射到操作动作,但以语言为条件的相机运动作为一种一流动作仍然相对未被充分探索。我们提出了以语言为条件的相机运动生成:给定当前的RGB观察和自由形式的自然语言意图,预测下一个观察的相对目标相机姿态。这个任务本质上并不简单:视点变化受潜在感知意图驱动,有效的运动可能在不同的语义粒度上进行,从进入一个房间到环顾一个角落、检查一个可见物体或揭示被遮挡的细节。为了建模这种结构,我们从自我中心视频中挖掘多重意图的相机运动监督,将合理的意图和观察增益描述与相对SE(3)目标姿态配对。我们提出了LIME,一个视觉-语言相机运动生成器,它结合了自回归的观察增益输出和连续流匹配姿态头。这种设计使模型能够共同预测下一个视图应揭示的内容,同时表示多假设目标视图。在实验和下游机器人任务中,我们展示了LIME能够从被动的人类视频中主动选择相机姿态,将普通的自我中心录音转化为意图感知主动感知的监督。

WorldSample: Closed-loop Real-robot RL with World Modelling

WorldSample:带有世界建模的闭环真实机器人强化学习
Xue, Yuquan, Xu, Le, Liu, Zeyi, Wu, Zhenyu, Gu, Zhengyi, Song, Xinyang, Jia, Bofang, Wang, Ziwei
Abstract
Reinforcement learning (RL) can overcome the demonstration-coverage limitation of imitation learning (IL) by allowing robots to improve through trial-and-error interaction beyond the states observed in demonstrations. However, deploying RL on real robots remains constrained by high interaction costs, since each physical rollout is costly and reflects only one realized action-outcome path. To address this challenge, we propose WorldSample, a physically grounded data augmentation framework for real-robot RL that closes a real-synthetic loop between physical rollouts, world-model generation, and policy improvement. Grounded on real rollouts, WorldSample generates high-fidelity synthetic transitions through a post-trained world model, which greatly lowers the visual hallucination. Specifically, rather than simply using these transitions as real-world experience, WorldSample introduces Policy-Paced Learning (PPL) to regulate the training process through sample selection and scheduling, balancing useful augmentation against value overestimation and mitigating the hallucination-induced noise. Experiments on robot manipulation tasks involving contact-rich and precise tasks show that WorldSample improves policy success rate by 28% while reducing training steps by 59% compared with baselines. Furthermore, WorldSample improves world model visual fidelity by 19.4dB in PSNR and 0.47 in SSIM over demonstration-only post-training, validating the effectiveness of the real-synthetic loop for both policy and world model performance.

Learning to Move Before Learning to Do: Task-Agnostic pretraining for VLAs

在学习如何做之前学习如何移动:任务无关的预训练用于视觉-语言-动作(VLA)
Shi, Junhao, Wang, Siyin, Yu, Xiaopeng, Ji, Li, Gong, Jingjing, Qiu, Xipeng
Abstract
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are fundamentally bottlenecked by the scarcity of expert demonstrations -- triplets of observations, instructions, and actions that are costly to collect at scale. We argue that this bottleneck stems from conflating two distinct learning objectives: acquiring physical competence (how to move) and acquiring semantic alignment (what to do). Crucially, only the latter requires language supervision. Building on this Decomposition Hypothesis, we propose Task-Agnostic Pretraining (TAP), a two-stage framework that first learns transferable motor priors from cheap, unlabeled interaction data -- including discarded off-task trajectories and autonomous robot play -- via a self-supervised Inverse Dynamics objective. A lightweight second stage then grounds these priors in language using minimal expert data. On the SIMPLER benchmark, TAP matches models trained on over 1M expert trajectories while using orders of magnitude less labeled data, yielding a 10% absolute gain over standard behavior cloning. On a real-world WidowX platform, TAP retains 25% success under camera perturbations where internet-scale baselines collapse to 0%, demonstrating that task-agnostic pretraining produces robust, transferable physical representations and offers a scalable path forward for Embodied AI.

视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型的根本瓶颈在于专家演示的稀缺性——观察、指令和动作的三元组,这些数据的收集成本高昂且难以大规模实现。我们认为,这一瓶颈源于将两个不同的学习目标混淆在一起:获取物理能力(如何移动)和获取语义对齐(做什么)。关键是,只有后者需要语言监督。在这一分解假设的基础上,我们提出了任务无关预训练(Task-Agnostic Pretraining, TAP),这是一个两阶段框架,首先通过自监督的逆动力学目标,从廉价的无标签交互数据中学习可转移的运动先验——包括被丢弃的非任务轨迹和自主机器人游戏。第二阶段则轻量化地将这些先验与最小的专家数据结合,进行语言对接。在SIMPLER基准测试中,TAP在使用数量级更少的标注数据的情况下,匹配了在超过100万专家轨迹上训练的模型,较标准行为克隆实现了10%的绝对增益。在实际的WidowX平台上,TAP在摄像机扰动下保持了25%的成功率,而互联网规模的基线则崩溃至0%,这表明任务无关的预训练能够产生稳健的、可转移的物理表征,并为具身人工智能提供了一条可扩展的前进路径。

Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for learning a control policy to intercept an intruder using the 3D direction unit vector to the intruder and the interceptor state. Prior deep reinforcement learning approaches assume either relative position or distance to the intruder is available, but this information is not readily accessible in real-world applications that employ passive, monocular camera sensors. Instead, we propose a solution that leverages an analytical policy gradient method using differentiable quadrotor dynamics to learn agile interception at speeds up to 10 m/s. The proposed approach outperforms baseline methods that utilize simplified point mass dynamics by an average of 30%.

QuadRocket: An Aerial Robotic Testbed for Adaptive Thrust-Vector Control of Rocket-Like Vehicles

QuadRocket:一种用于火箭类飞行器自适应推力矢量控制的空中机器人测试平台
Santos, Pedro, Reis, Joel, Oliveira, Paulo, Silvestre, Carlos
Abstract
This paper presents QuadRocket, a quadrotor-based rocket prototype that provides a low-cost, low-risk platform for validating advanced thrust-vector control strategies for launch vehicle-type systems. The prototype consists of a cylindrical main body mounted on top of a quadrotor through a universal joint, forming a flying inverted pendulum with non-negligible inertia. For control design, the coupled system is modeled as a single axisymmetric rigid body actuated by a vectored force applied along its longitudinal axis. A reduced-attitude representation on the two sphere is adopted to explicitly exploit the vehicle's axial symmetry and to decouple yaw from the thrust-vector direction. On this model, we derive an adaptive backstepping controller that achieves almost global trajectory tracking in the presence of unknown constant disturbances, while a control-point transformation mitigates non minimum-phase behavior. The quadrotor is then treated as a thrust vector actuator, and a dynamic-surface-based attitude controller is designed to track the desired thrust-vector, accounting for actuation dynamics and avoiding explicit differentiation of virtual control signals. The complete architecture is evaluated in simulation and validated experimentally in an indoor motion-capture arena. Results demonstrate accurate trajectory tracking, effective disturbance compensation, and confirm the suitability of the QuadRocket as a versatile testbed for thrust-vector-controlled robotic vehicles.

Controllable Sim Agents with Behavior Latents

可控的模拟代理与行为潜变量
Lu, Juanwu, Zhu, Junyu, Wang, Ziran
Abstract
Realistic traffic simulation requires agents that imitate logged behavior and can also be steered along interpretable axes. Such controllability enables engineers to isolate variables, reproduce specific edge cases, and test autonomous systems without real-world risk. We introduce Controllable Neural Variational Agents (CNeVA), a controllable simulated-agent framework that learns to infer a per-agent Gaussian behavior latent from per-channel discounted returns via a closed-form conjugate variational update, conditioning a rectified-flow trajectory generator trained on a mixed channel-mask curriculum for classifier-free guidance. To tackle scarcity in reward signals, we propose soft eligibility gates that replace hard binary thresholds with smooth exponential decay, preserving the gradient signal for near-threshold agents. On the Waymo Open Motion Dataset, CNeVA attains competitive realism on the benchmark while exposing per-channel controllability that the higher-ranked imitation models lack. Speed- and acceleration-based steering produces monotone responses without stall-induced reward hacking. Safety controllability is monotone and substantial with the introduction of soft eligibility. We manage to achieve steerable map compliance under a context-residual return measure. Furthermore, our experiment demonstrates that steering metrics must be read alongside physical-plausibility guardrails to avoid reward-hacking confounds.

Embodied.cpp: A Portable Inference Runtime of Embodied AI Models on Heterogeneous Robots

Embodied.cpp:一种适用于异构机器人上体现式人工智能模型的可移植推理运行时
Xu, Ling, Han, Chuyu, Li, Borui, Wu, Hao, Jiang, Shiqi, Cao, Ting, Li, Chuanyou, Zhong, Sheng, Wang, Shuai
Abstract
Embodied AI models now span vision-language-action (VLA) models and world-action models (WAMs), but practical deployment remains fragmented across model-specific Python stacks, backend assumptions, and robot-side glue code, especially on heterogeneous edge devices. Existing inference runtimes are designed mainly for request-response serving and therefore do not satisfy the runtime contract of embodied deployment: multi-rate execution inside closed-loop control, latency-first batch-1 inference on heterogeneous hardware, and extensible embodied interfaces beyond fixed token I/O. We present Embodied.cpp, a portable C++ inference runtime for embodied models. Based on an architectural analysis of representative VLA models and WAMs, Embodied.cpp captures a shared execution path and organizes it into five layers: input adapters, sequence builders, backbone execution, head plugins, and deployment adapters. The runtime provides modular multi-rate execution, latency-first fused inference, and extensible operator and I/O support, enabling deployment across heterogeneous devices, robots, and simulators through one backend abstraction. We evaluate Embodied.cpp on two VLA models, HY-VLA and pi0.5, and on a preliminary WAM benchmark using a LingBot-VA Transformer block. The VLA deployments achieve successful closed-loop execution with 100.0% and 91.0% task success rates, respectively. The WAM benchmark reduces block memory from 312.2 MiB to 88.1 MiB. These results show that Embodied.cpp improves deployment efficiency while preserving high accuracy across diverse embodied model architectures.

VT-WAM: Visual-Tactile World Action Model for Contact-Rich Manipulation

VT-WAM:用于接触丰富操作的视觉-触觉世界动作模型
Tian, Shuai, Zheng, Yupeng, Zheng, Yuhang, Gu, Songen, Zang, Yujie, Qin, Yuxing, Li, Weize, Li, Haoran, Ding, Wenchao, Zhao, Dongbin
Abstract
Contact-rich manipulation requires policies to react to local deformation, pressure, slip, and friction, yet these cues are temporally sparse and often invisible in visual observations. Existing visual-tactile policies usually feed tactile observations directly into action prediction, but rarely model tactile deformation dynamics during action generation. In this paper, we introduce VT-WAM, a Visual-Tactile World Action Model that jointly learns future visual prediction, tactile deformation prediction, and action prediction within a unified flow matching framework. In particular, VT-WAM introduces (1) Asymmetric Mixture-of-Transformers (MoT) attention to bridge a first-frame visual anchor with temporal tactile dynamics, and (2) contact-gated Action-Visual-Tactile Attention Guidance (AVTAG) to encourage action queries to rely on tactile evidence during contact phases. Across six real-world contact-rich manipulation tasks, VT-WAM achieves a 71.67% average success rate, outperforming Fast-WAM by 26.67% and OmniVTLA by 35.84%. Ablations demonstrate that modeling tactile deformation dynamics and guiding contact-phase tactile attention are both important for contact-rich tasks. Project website: https://vt-wam.github.io/.

AnchorSplat: Fast and Structure Consistent Detail Synthesis for Gaussian Splatting

AnchorSplat:高效且结构一致的高斯点云细节合成
Zhu, Dexu, Shao, Jiangnan, Wang, Xiaofeng, Duan, Junxian, Cao, Jie, Zhu, Zheng, Huang, Huaibo
Abstract
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a powerful representation for high-fidelity rendering. However, existing assets often suffer from quality bottlenecks such as missing details and texture noise. Prior attempts to enhance these assets via 2D image processing introduce multi-view inconsistencies and high computational costs. In this paper, we propose a novel 3D-native refinement paradigm named AnchorSplat. AnchorSplat is an end-to-end deep network operating directly on 3D structures, avoiding the expensive optimization overhead of traditional 3D-2D-3D pipelines. Crucially, AnchorSplat is a strictly source-free solution requiring no original multi-view images. Central to the proposed method is the Point Anchor Mechanism, which enforces geometric consistency via local offset constraints, mitigating ill-posed mapping and gradient confounding. Furthermore, AnchorSplat replaces iterative densification with a single-pass multiplication mechanism. To facilitate research, we construct 3DGS-SR, the first large-scale benchmark for this task. Experiments demonstrate state-of-the-art results on the 3DGS-SR dataset, with throughput up to $10^5$ times faster than optimization methods. Notably, AnchorSplat exhibits robust zero-shot generalization across diverse data distributions, including generative model outputs and real-world scans.

CPG-PAD: Concept-Informed Prompts Guided Presentation Attack Detection

CPG-PAD:基于概念引导的呈现攻击检测
Zhang, Haoyuan, Zhu, Xiangyu, Gao, Li, Liu, Ajian, Peng, Siran, Lei, Zhen
Abstract
Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) serves as a crucial safeguard for face recognition systems against presentation attacks such as printed photos, replayed videos, and 3D masks. Despite significant progress, existing PAD models still struggle to generalize across unseen domains due to variations in sensors, lighting, and attack materials. Recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown strong generalization ability, yet their applications in PAD remain limited because learned prompts, typically optimized under class-label supervision, fail to explicitly align with fine-grained attack-relevant visual semantics. As a result, the learned representations often overfit domain-specific artifacts instead of capturing transferable attack cues. To address this, we propose Concept-Informed Prompts Guided Presentation Attack Detection (CPG-PAD), a framework that introduces model-level concept guidance into the prompt learning process. Specifically, we design a Visual Concept-driven Enhancement (VCE) module that employs eXplainable AI (XAI) techniques to automatically discover PAD-relevant visual concepts and generate concept-associated heatmaps providing localized fine-grained guidance. Guided by these heatmaps, a Prompt-based Concept Injection (PCI) mechanism integrates these concepts into the prompt space through a Visual-Prompt Decoder (VPD) and a concept-mapping loss, enabling prompts to align with the model's internal concept space. This design enables CPG-PAD to capture generalizable and domain-invariant attack cues while effectively suppressing dataset-specific biases. Extensive experiments across nine benchmark datasets demonstrate that CPG-PAD consistently achieves state-of-the-art cross-domain performance under multi-source, limited-source, and single-source settings.

呈现攻击检测(PAD)是面部识别系统抵御诸如打印照片、重播视频和3D面具等呈现攻击的重要保障。尽管取得了显著进展,现有的PAD模型在未见领域的泛化能力仍然不足,原因在于传感器、光照和攻击材料的变化。近期的视觉-语言模型(VLMs)显示出强大的泛化能力,但其在PAD中的应用仍然有限,因为学习到的提示通常是在类别标签监督下优化的,未能明确与细粒度的攻击相关视觉语义对齐。因此,学习到的表示往往过拟合于特定领域的伪影,而无法捕捉可转移的攻击线索。为了解决这一问题,我们提出了基于概念引导的呈现攻击检测(CPG-PAD)框架,该框架在提示学习过程中引入了模型级的概念指导。具体而言,我们设计了一个视觉概念驱动的增强(VCE)模块,利用可解释人工智能(XAI)技术自动发现与PAD相关的视觉概念,并生成提供局部细粒度指导的概念关联热图。在这些热图的指导下,基于提示的概念注入(PCI)机制通过视觉提示解码器(VPD)和概念映射损失将这些概念整合到提示空间中,使得提示能够与模型的内部概念空间对齐。这一设计使得CPG-PAD能够捕捉可泛化和领域不变的攻击线索,同时有效抑制数据集特定的偏差。在九个基准数据集上的广泛实验表明,CPG-PAD在多源、有限源和单源设置下始终实现了最先进的跨域性能。

KathaTrace: Diagnosing Semantic Trajectory Collapse in Generated Visual Narratives

KathaTrace:诊断生成视觉叙事中的语义轨迹崩溃
Murthy, Jamuna S., Monsefi, Amin Karimi, Ramnath, Rajiv
Abstract
Visual narratives are central to storyboards, comics, children's media, and film previsualization, where viewers understand stories from images alone. Recent generators such as StoryDiffusion produce coherent sequences, but visual coherence does not guarantee that source-story transition meaning remains recoverable. Existing benchmarks assess visual quality, content faithfulness, and scene coherence, but miss a critical failure mode: storyboards where scenes appear visually coherent while the semantic link between scenes disappears. We introduce KathaTrace, a generator-agnostic protocol for diagnosing semantic trajectory collapse, defined as the loss of transition meaning needed to understand how one scene follows another. KathaTrace evaluates transitions under three evidence conditions: text-only, image-only, and text-plus-image, and filters ambiguous items. We contribute KathaBench-25K, with 5,000 narratives from classical collections including Aesop, Panchatantra, and Kathasaritasagara, 20,000 transitions, and 28,712 recoverability questions. We define Semantic Trajectory Gap, or STG, as text-only minus image-only recoverability, measuring transition meaning lost during visualization. Human validation yields Fleiss' kappa = 0.845. Experiments across state-of-the-art generators show substantial STG of 23.5 +/- 1.3. Semantic Compass, an actionability probe, uses KathaTrace signals for post-generation repair and improves storyboard selection.

Spatial-Temporal Expert Learning for Video-based Person Re-identification

基于视频的人物重识别的时空专家学习
Hui, Xiaofei, Wang, Pengfei, Ling, Evan, Huang, Dezhao, Ma, Keng Teck, Hur, Minhoe, Liu, Jun
Abstract
Video-based person re-identification (Re-ID) aims to retrieve the same identity in the query video clips from the gallery video clips. To solve this problem, exploiting fine-grained features is of great importance, especially when discriminating identities that are similar in appearance. In this paper, we propose to enhance the ability to explore fine-grained information with a novel input-aware extendable expert module. Instead of updating the network parameters with every sample in the dataset, we aim to train the experts within specific subsets that only contain similar samples and promote their ability to exploit fine-grained information within these similar samples. To achieve this goal, we incorporate two mechanisms in this module: input-aware expert selection mechanism and spatial-temporal selection mechanism. The first mechanism dynamically activates a set of experts on subsets of similar samples, pushing the experts to exploit subtle differences between these similar samples, while the second one further increases their sensitivity to the fine-grained differences in spatial and temporal aspects and allows the experts to dynamically utilize them for different input samples. In addition, to facilitate the expert module, we design an extendable scheme that allows the module to flexibly add new experts when necessary. As a result, our method achieves outstanding performance on two large-scale datasets.

MapDreamer: Aerial Imagery Conditioned Latent Diffusion for Lane-Level Map Generation

MapDreamer:基于航拍图像的车道级地图生成的潜在扩散模型
Brandes, Julian, Crocoll, Philipp, Burgard, Wolfram
Abstract
High definition map generation is essential for autonomous driving, yet remains a labor-intensive process at scale. We present MapDreamer, a generative diffusion model that synthesizes lane-level vector maps with explicit topology directly from a single aerial image. MapDreamer learns a compact latent representation of lane centerlines and their topological relations using a variational autoencoder and predicts graphs with a transformer-based latent diffusion model. To align generated maps with the observed scene, we condition each denoising step on dense aerial features injected through cross-attention. To handle the varying number of lanes across scenes, we propose a lane cardinality module paired with background ghost lane latents, a learned buffer that prevents slot collapse during diffusion. Furthermore, we introduce a sliding-window global graph aggregation strategy that stitches local tiles into city-scale maps while preserving connectivity through encoded lane boundaries. Experiments on UrbanLaneGraph derived from Argoverse 2 show improved geometric and topological fidelity over non-generative baselines.

MIBE: Multi-subject Interaction Benchmark and Evaluator for Personalized Image Generation

MIBE:用于个性化图像生成的多主体交互基准和评估器
Chen, Zhihan, Zhao, Yuhuan, Zhu, Yijie, Yao, Xinyu, Ren, Mengcong, Wang, Suwen, Yin, Qiuyang, Sun, Yuchen, Wang, Qin, Xin, Lu
Abstract
Multi-subject personalized image generation requires the precise rendering of all requested reference identities and their specified interactions based on a guiding prompt. However, state-of-the-art models still struggle with this process, frequently omitting subjects, failing to preserve reference appearances, or misattributing interactions. Furthermore, existing metrics designed primarily for single-subject fidelity cannot reliably capture these errors, suffering severe degradation in ranking separability and failing to align with human preference as the subject count increases. To address this gap, we introduce Multi-subject Interaction Benchmark and Evaluator (MIBE), a unified framework comprising a Multi-subject Interaction Benchmark (MIB) and a Multi-subject Interaction Evaluator (MIE). MIB systematically covers diverse relation types and scene complexities through a decoupled data regime. This consists of a 60K-pair VLM-labeled Silver Set for scalable metric training and a 4K-pair double-blind Human Evaluation Gold Set covering a diverse range of state-of-the-art generators, with the Silver Set reaching 95.1% cross-VLM preference agreement. To demonstrate the utility of this benchmark, we present MIE, a lightweight, reference-conditioned evaluator trained exclusively on the Silver Set with a dual-head ranking and diagnosis objective. MIE exhibits strong cross-generator generalization on the Gold Set, achieving 0.922 overall pairwise accuracy against human preference, including 0.982 on seen generators and 0.884 on unseen generators. By outperforming a broad spectrum of baseline metrics, including CLIP and DINO variants, MIE demonstrates that diagnostic supervision can preserve ranking separability and human alignment where traditional evaluators collapse.

Rethinking Generic Object Tracking Toward Human-Level Perceptual Intelligence

重新思考通用物体跟踪以实现人类水平的感知智能
Chen, Shih-Fang
Abstract
At the heart of human visual perception lies the ability to maintain a continuous and coherent understanding of the external world. By integrating observations with accumulated experience, the human visual system can continuously adapt to variations in both the target and its surrounding environment, while preserving robust visual continuity as scene dynamics evolve. Human vision can therefore integrate prior knowledge, spatial geometry, and semantic context to understand complex scenes and their changes. As a core problem in computer vision, visual object tracking aims to bring machine perception closer to human visual perception. These capabilities are central to the task of Generic Object Tracking (GOT). In this task, a visual tracker is initialized only with the bounding box of an arbitrarily specified target in the first frame, and must continuously localize the target in subsequent dynamic visual streams. However, future events, observations, and real-world variations are inherently unpredictable; therefore, the model's generalization and online adaptation capabilities remain bottlenecks. Tracking reliability can deteriorate when the target undergoes severe deformation, is affected by complex distractors, encounters significant environmental changes, or belongs to a category unseen during training. This dissertation aims to narrow the gap between machine visual tracking systems and human visual perception by proposing a series of methods that systematically enhance the target discrimination, robust adaptation, and geometric reasoning capabilities of tracking models.

Computer Vision for Wildlife Monitoring: Detecting Brown Howler Monkeys using YOLO

Abstract
Urban expansion threatens global biodiversity, especially affecting arboreal species due to the fragmentation of forest habitats. The movement of arboreal species across disjointed forest patches increases mortality risk and, thus, compromises their conservation. In this context, the installation of canopy bridges can be a viable strategy; yet continuous monitoring of their use by arboreal species is essential for ensuring their effectiveness, typically carried out with the aid of camera traps. However, this method often produces false-positive images that demand time from conservationists for review. In this context, computer vision algorithms can optimize the task of detecting target species using the canopy bridges. In this study, we explored the automatic detection of brown howler monkeys (Alouatta guariba) in videos obtained by camera traps. Given the need for a large number of annotated images of the target animals to train the algorithms, we tested the incorporation of auxiliary data to improve detection models, fine-tuning the YOLOv10 framework using varying proportions of them. The improvement of these automatic detection techniques contributes to conservation efforts, by providing automatic tools to monitor solutions that minimize the impact of human interference in animals habitats.

Beyond Heatmaps: Unsupervised Concept-Graph Reasoning for Interpretable Visual Explanation

超越热图:用于可解释视觉解释的无监督概念图推理
Hossain, Md Mohasin, Amirli, Anar, Leist, Robert, Kadir, Md Abdul, Sonntag, Daniel
Abstract
Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) provide an intrinsically interpretable alternative to post-hoc explanations. However, existing CBMs often rely on predefined concept vocabularies or supervised annotations, lack explicit concept grounding, and summarize each concept with a single image-level score -- discarding spatial recurrence and inter-concept dependencies. We propose a Graph-based Concept Bottleneck Model (G-CBM), an intrinsically interpretable framework that performs unsupervised concept discovery via Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) and represents the discovered concepts as nodes in a per-image concept-graph representation. G-CBM matches region-level features to these concept nodes -- providing concept grounding and capturing concept recurrence across the image -- and applies a \emph{tunable concept filtering threshold} $\tau$ to suppress weak region-level features. A Graph Attention Network (GAT) then performs concept-level reasoning by modeling nonlinear dependencies across nodes. Across ImageNet, HAM10000, PH2, and Derm7pt, G-CBM achieves an average relative AUC improvement of 3.7\% over a ResNet-50 baseline. Concept filtering frequently improves predictive performance while inducing selective concept use, achieving peak AUC of $0.96$ on PH2 with only 2 of 10 concepts and 0.92 on HAM10000 with 3.8 of 9 concepts. On dermoscopy benchmarks, G-CBM is competitive with supervised approaches requiring external annotations. Deletion/insertion analyses with random ablation controls show that the learned concept ranking faithfully reflects model predictions.

Abstract
Significant advancement of immersive technologies such as Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) and their integration into diverse aspects of modern life need authentication interfaces that are secure, intuitive, and compatible with embodied interaction. Traditional methods such as passwords, PINs, and device-based logins, break immersion and rely on external hardware. Recent 3D-specific behavioral approaches, such as hand-gesture, eye-tracking, and electroencephalography (EEG)-based methods, offer promising alternatives but often require specialized sensors or constrain natural movement, limiting usability in dynamic environments. We present Sign in the Air to Unlock, an in-air signature interface that enables users to authenticate by signing naturally in 3D space which is a familiar, personal, and reproducible gesture. To realize this interface, we design a point-voxel Cross-Attention Network (PV-Net) that jointly models local motion dynamics and global spatial structure from 3D trajectories. The model is evaluated on two datasets: the public DeepAirSig dataset (1,800 signatures from 40 users) and ImmAirsig, a new dataset collected using Meta Quest 2 in immersive VR (880 samples from 22 users). PV-Net achieves an Equal Error Rate of 2.5% on DeepAirSig and 76% classification accuracy on ImmAirSig. These findings highlight the potential of 3D behavioral interfaces for seamless, user-centric authentication that merges security with natural interaction in immersive environments.

How Much Future Helps? A Controlled Study of Future-Privileged Supervision for Causal Egocentric Gaze Estimation

未来的帮助有多大?对因果自我中心注视估计的未来特权监督的控制研究
Li, Jia, Zhao, Wenjie, Atisri, Fnu, Aripineni, Sanskriti, Deng, Shijian, Froehlich, Jon E., Zhao, Yuhang, Tian, Yapeng
Abstract
Egocentric gaze estimation is commonly studied using models that process the full video with access to future frames, while real-world applications require strictly causal, online prediction. This discrepancy raises key questions: Does future context inherently provide valuable signals for gaze estimation? If so, how much future look-ahead optimally supervises a causal model during training? To investigate, we propose a controlled framework featuring a future-aware branch that accesses a tunable look-ahead horizon during training but is discarded at inference. This design isolates the impact of future context while keeping the inference architecture fixed and strictly causal. Across EGTEA Gaze+ and Ego4D, we find that future-privileged supervision consistently improves causal gaze prediction, confirming its utility. However, performance gains do not increase monotonically with longer look-ahead, but rather peak within a bounded temporal regime. Specifically, optimal performance corresponds to roughly 1.7--3.3 seconds of future context ($H{\in}[5, 10]$) on EGTEA Gaze+ and 2.7 seconds ($H{=}10$) on Ego4D. Our results demonstrate that lightweight causal models can effectively absorb future-aware signals, providing practical guidance for real-time egocentric gaze modeling.

A Cost-Aware, Paired Protocol for Auditing Dynamic Tool Synthesis in Agentic Video Question Answering

一种成本感知的配对协议用于审计动态工具合成在自主视频问答中的应用
Mohamed, Aseel, AlHamidi, Rama, Barhdadi, Mohamed Rayan, Khanbayov, Rasul, Serpedin, Erchin, Kurban, Hasan
Abstract
Agentic Video Question Answering (VideoQA) systems invoke tools during inference, but their tool libraries are fixed, so recurring procedures are rebuilt from primitives on every question. Synthesizing composite tools could remove this overhead, but whether such expansion helps is hard to assess: final-answer accuracy, the standard metric, ignores inference effort, so it cannot reveal how a system shifts cost. We propose a cost-aware, paired protocol for auditing tool-augmented video agents. The protocol pairs two complete systems on the same input for each question and reports their net difference across accuracy and cost jointly. For each question, it sorts the paired outcome into one of six groups defined by joint correctness and by the change in visible tool calls, separating accuracy-preserving efficiency gains from harmful regressions. Significance is reported with McNemar's test and paired bootstrap confidence intervals. We instantiate the protocol on Dynamic-SAGE, an agentic VideoQA framework that synthesizes, validates, and persistently registers executable composite tools for reuse on unseen questions, and evaluate it against the SAGE baseline on SAGE-Bench. The audit reveals a multi-axis profile that a scalar accuracy comparison would miss: Dynamic-SAGE improves accuracy by 7.5 points (p < 0.001) and reduces reasoning turns and visible tool calls by roughly 28%, while shifting rather than reducing inference cost, as token usage rises 34% and cost 26%. Gains are largest on visual and open-ended questions and neutral on verbal and multimodal ones, and residual failures concentrate on hard, open-ended questions where the pipeline does the most work. By measuring accuracy and cost jointly, the protocol shows where the pipeline-level difference is reliable and where it is not.

自主视频问答(VideoQA)系统在推理过程中调用工具,但其工具库是固定的,因此每个问题的重复过程都需要从基本操作重新构建。合成复合工具可以消除这种开销,但评估这种扩展是否有帮助是困难的:最终答案的准确性这一标准指标忽略了推理的努力,因此无法揭示系统如何转变成本。我们提出了一种成本感知的配对协议,用于审计工具增强的视频代理。该协议对每个问题在相同输入上配对两个完整系统,并共同报告它们在准确性和成本上的净差异。对于每个问题,它将配对结果排序为六个组之一,这些组由联合正确性和可见工具调用的变化定义,从而将保持准确性的效率提升与有害的回归分开。显著性通过McNemar检验和配对自助法置信区间报告。我们在Dynamic-SAGE上实例化该协议,Dynamic-SAGE是一个自主视频问答框架,能够合成、验证并持久注册可执行的复合工具以供在未见问题上重用,并在SAGE-Bench上与SAGE基线进行评估。审计揭示了一个多轴特征,而标量准确性比较将会忽略:Dynamic-SAGE的准确性提高了7.5个百分点(p < 0.001),推理回合和可见工具调用减少了大约28%,同时推理成本有所转移而非减少,令牌使用量上升了34%,成本上升了26%。在视觉和开放式问题上收益最大,而在语言和多模态问题上则表现中性,残余失败主要集中在难度较大、开放式的问题上,这些问题的处理工作量最大。通过共同测量准确性和成本,该协议展示了管道级差异的可靠性和不可靠性。代码可在 https://github.com/KurbanIntelligenceLab/Dynamic-SAGE 获取。

Anti-Prompt: Image Protection against Text-Guided Image-to-Video Generation

反提示:针对文本引导的图像到视频生成的图像保护
Song, Yeonghwan, Lee, Chanhui, Park, Jinsoo, Son, Jeany
Abstract
Recent advances in Image-to-Video generation allow a single image to be animated into a convincing video under text guidance, raising serious copyright and privacy risks. We propose Anti-Prompt, an image protection approach that injects imperceptible perturbations into an image, inducing visible inconsistencies and structural failures in text-guided I2V generation. Our method is motivated by a simple empirical observation. When text guidance is removed from modern I2V models, generation quality degrades markedly, not only in motion realism but also in subject preservation, structural coherence, and temporal consistency. Building on this insight, Anti-Prompt exploits the model reliance on textual guidance by attenuating text-conditioned interactions during denoising while strengthening visual-only pathways. To further systematically evaluate protection effectiveness, we introduce a Video-LLM-assisted evaluation protocol that provides interpretable, frame-grounded analyses of generation artifacts and inconsistencies. Experiments on two representative I2V architectures demonstrate that our method achieves strong protection performance while improving efficiency and cross-model transferability.

最近在图像到视频生成方面的进展使得单一图像能够在文本指导下被动画化为逼真的视频,这带来了严重的版权和隐私风险。我们提出了反提示(Anti-Prompt),一种图像保护方法,通过向图像注入不可察觉的扰动,导致文本引导的图像到视频生成中出现明显的不一致性和结构性失败。我们的方法源于一个简单的经验观察:当现代图像到视频模型中移除文本指导时,生成质量显著下降,不仅在运动真实感方面,而且在主体保留、结构一致性和时间一致性方面也有所下降。基于这一洞察,反提示通过在去噪过程中减弱文本条件交互,同时增强仅视觉路径的作用,利用了模型对文本指导的依赖。为了进一步系统地评估保护效果,我们引入了一种视频大语言模型(Video-LLM)辅助的评估协议,提供可解释的、基于帧的生成伪影和不一致性分析。在两个代表性的图像到视频架构上的实验表明,我们的方法在提高效率和跨模型可转移性的同时,达到了强大的保护性能。

Disentangling Pictorial Cue Understanding from Language Bias in VLMs via Depth Ordering Task

通过深度排序任务解开视觉语言模型中的图像线索理解与语言偏见
Liu, Yiqian, Kotseruba, Iuliia, Tsotsos, John K.
Abstract
In this paper, we study depth perception of vision-language models (VLMs) to isolate the effects of pictorial depth cues and disentangle vision and language influences on model performance. To this end, we combine depth-ordering and odd-one-out psychophysical tasks: the VLMs are presented with images where one object is at different depth relative to other, otherwise identical, objects, and must determine whether the odd-one-out target is closer or farther to the observer. To create stimuli, we generate 2D views from simulated and real 3D scenes while controlling the presence of individual pictorial depth cues, enabling a fine-grained analysis of cue-level contributions. Language effects are examined by varying referring expression clarity. We also introduce a novel metric to quantify vision-vs-language sensitivities. Applying this methodology, we create the Odd-One-Out Depth (O3-D) dataset with 37K real and synthetic images and 147K image-question pairs. Evaluation of 12 open-source and commercial models on O3-D shows under-utilization of depth cues and depth-ordering accuracies between 47% and 56%, with no model above chance level. At the same time, our metric reveals strong linguistic bias in the answers. Neither chain-of-thought (CoT) nor in-context learning (ICL) significantly improves performance, suggesting that static image data alone may be insufficient for depth understanding. All code, the image generation pipeline, and the O3-D dataset are publicly released at https://github.com/lyiqian/o3-d.

Hidden-Shot: Towards One-Shot Task Generalization for Low-Level Vision Generalist Models

隐性拍摄:面向低级视觉通用模型的一次性任务泛化
Xia, Shao-Jun, Ma, Xianzheng, Meng, Zichong
Abstract
Despite the intense engagement surrounding low-level vision generalist models, their effectiveness in zero/few-shot scenarios beyond learned tasks remains unverified. The primary challenge of developing an ideal generalist lies in achieving the ability to generalize from new unseen tasks, which also can be assessed by matched quantitative criteria. Existing methods have made some progress in prompt engineering but have not systematically explored this gap across a wide range of low-level visual tasks. Stimulated by the problem, we propose Hidden-Shot, an implicit prompt mechanism aimed at exploring low-level task adaptation in a vision generalist model. Specifically, the method extracts implicit visual task-based information, utilizes a global task-aware textural prompt, and selectively merges implicit information with in-task processing information to enhance one-shot capabilities in new tasks. The overall design performs direct injection in a cost-effective manner, while minimally altering the architecture of the original generalist model. Additionally, we introduce a data-driven evaluation framework termed C/U assessment to cover two basic scenarios, 3C4U (3 conventional and 4 unconventional tasks) for retraining existing models and 3C7U (3 conventional and 7 unconventional tasks) for training from scratch, as a comprehensive assessment to systematically test the generalization ability of low-level generalist models. Experiments on seven and ten datasets outperform the state-of-the-art vision generalist model, respectively verified by 3C4U and 3C7U framework. Our presented Hidden-Shot approach demonstrates superior performance on one-shot new tasks while maintaining consistent performance on existing tasks.

尽管低级视觉通用模型引起了广泛关注,但其在超出已学习任务的零/少样本场景中的有效性仍未得到验证。开发理想通用模型的主要挑战在于实现从新的未见任务中进行泛化的能力,这也可以通过匹配的定量标准进行评估。现有方法在提示工程方面取得了一定进展,但尚未系统性地探索这一差距,尤其是在广泛的低级视觉任务中。受到这一问题的启发,我们提出了隐性拍摄(Hidden-Shot),一种旨在探索视觉通用模型中低级任务适应的隐式提示机制。具体而言,该方法提取隐式视觉任务相关信息,利用全局任务感知的纹理提示,并选择性地将隐式信息与任务内处理信息合并,以增强在新任务中的一次性能力。整体设计以成本效益高的方式进行直接注入,同时对原始通用模型的架构进行最小化修改。此外,我们引入了一种数据驱动的评估框架,称为C/U评估,涵盖两种基本场景:3C4U(3个常规任务和4个非常规任务)用于重新训练现有模型,以及3C7U(3个常规任务和7个非常规任务)用于从头开始训练,作为全面评估以系统性测试低级通用模型的泛化能力。在七个和十个数据集上的实验结果分别超越了最先进的视觉通用模型,验证了3C4U和3C7U框架。我们提出的隐性拍摄方法在一次性新任务上表现出优越的性能,同时在现有任务上保持一致的表现。

Boosting Infrared Small Target Detection via Logit-Domain Contrast and Adaptive Shape Refinement

通过Logit域对比和自适应形状优化提升红外小目标检测
Zeng, Handong, Yang, Zhengeng, Zhang, Shuai, Chen, Shikai, Yu, Hongshan
Abstract
Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) remains challenging due to tiny target size, low signal-to-noise ratio, severe foreground-background imbalance, and blurred boundaries in complex scenes. Existing methods usually rely on post-activation probability-domain supervision for discrimination, where weak targets and strong clutter may produce saturated and close probabilities, limiting weak-target discrimination. Meanwhile, blurred boundaries and halo-like predictions mainly stem from thermal diffusion, tiny target scale, boundary uncertainty, and insufficient explicit contour constraints. To address these issues, we propose Adaptive-Contrastive SLSIoU (AC-SLSIoU), a plug-and-play discriminative and shape-aware loss for IRSTD. Specifically, a Logit-Domain Margin Constraint (LDMC) is introduced to enlarge the response gap between targets and informative hard negatives in the logit space, thereby enhancing weak-target discrimination. Adaptive Boundary Suppression (ABS) applies scale-aware annular penalties to refine target contours and suppress halo-like overflow responses. In addition, False-Alarm Focal Loss assigns larger weights to high-probability negative samples, further penalizing persistent high-confidence false alarms. Without introducing extra inference overhead, the proposed method can be seamlessly integrated into existing detectors and consistently improves both detection accuracy and shape quality. Extensive experiments and cross-backbone evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness, robustness, and generalization ability of the proposed method for infrared small target detection.

红外小目标检测(IRSTD)因目标尺寸微小、信噪比低、前景与背景严重失衡以及复杂场景中的边界模糊而仍然具有挑战性。现有方法通常依赖于后激活概率域监督进行区分,其中弱目标与强干扰可能产生饱和且接近的概率,从而限制了弱目标的区分能力。同时,模糊的边界和光晕状预测主要源于热扩散、微小目标尺度、边界不确定性以及不足的显式轮廓约束。为了解决这些问题,我们提出了一种自适应对比SLSIoU(AC-SLSIoU),这是一种可插拔的、具有区分性和形状感知的损失函数,旨在用于红外小目标检测。具体而言,引入了Logit域边际约束(LDMC),以扩大目标与信息性难负样本在Logit空间中的响应差距,从而增强弱目标的区分能力。自适应边界抑制(ABS)应用尺度感知的环形惩罚来优化目标轮廓并抑制光晕状溢出响应。此外,虚警聚焦损失为高概率负样本分配更大的权重,进一步惩罚持续的高置信度虚警。在不引入额外推理开销的情况下,所提方法可以无缝集成到现有检测器中,并持续提高检测精度和形状质量。大量实验和跨骨干网络评估证明了所提方法在红外小目标检测中的有效性、鲁棒性和泛化能力。

Mind the Gap: Standard 3DGS Evaluation Primarily Measures Near-Trajectory Interpolation

注意差距:标准的3D高斯点云(3DGS)评估主要测量近轨迹插值
Jia, Gaoxiang, Appia, Vikram
Abstract
Standard MipNeRF360-style 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) evaluation holds out every N-th frame -- but these frames have trained neighbors on both sides, so the metric measures near-trajectory interpolation rather than spatial generalization. We introduce a fair matched-count protocol that isolates this effect: both arms train on the same number of images and differ only in whether the holdout is spread evenly (interpolation) or forms a contiguous spatial sector (extrapolation). Our primary finding is a large, consistent interpolation-extrapolation gap of 3~12dB -- several times the differences typically reported between competing methods. The gap is robust to training noise, is in two cases large enough to flip a method ranking under multi-seed confirmation, and -- crucially -- persists across three representation families, including a non-Gaussian volumetric neural radiance field (NeRF), so it reflects spatial coverage rather than any one representation. Diagnostically, it is dominated by a diffuse/geometry-proxy component and tracks each view's angular distance to its nearest training view, a zero-cost signal that also guides capture planning; loss-side regularization yields only marginal gains. Standard holdouts remain useful for near-trajectory rendering but should not, alone, be read as evidence of spatial generalization. Prior work notes protocol sensitivity; ours is, to our knowledge, the first to combine matched-count paired holdout, cross-representation quantification, and a diagnostic analysis Table 1. We describe a spatial-holdout benchmark toolkit with standardized splits and baselines for 16 scenes, which we are preparing for public release.

MVFusion-GS: Motion-Variance Guided Temporal Attention for High-Quality Dynamic Gaussian Splatting

MVFusion-GS:基于运动方差引导的高质量动态高斯点云时间注意力
Hu, Jianwei, Huang, Tingxuan, Zhou, Hengyu, Wang, Ningna, Lai, Xiaohu Guo Jinshan, Wang, Bin
Abstract
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables real-time novel view synthesis for static scenes. Extending it to dynamic scenes via deformation fields has recently attracted significant attention, particularly for dynamic scene reconstructionband distractor-free. However, existing deformation networks lack explicit motion awareness: they neither capture long-term motion intensity nor exploit short-term temporal coherence, leading to inaccurate foreground deformation and pseudo-static residuals in the background. We present MVFusion-GS, a method that enhances deformation networks with two complementary motion-aware mechanisms. The Motion-Variance Guided Refinement aggregates per-Gaussian deformation statistics across time to estimate motion variance and uses it to guide dynamic-static separation during deformation prediction. The MotionFormer Temporal Attention module applies Transformer self-attention over neighboring timesteps to model local motion dependencies and improve temporal consistency. Extensive experiments on both dynamic scene reconstruction and distractor-free reconstruction benchmarks demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, showing that explicit motion awareness improves both foreground motion modeling and static background reconstruction.

VLAFlow: A Unified Training Framework for Vision-Language-Action Models via Co-training and Future Latent Alignment

Abstract
Vision-language-action models (VLAs) have recently advanced robotic manipulation, yet the effects of different robot-data pre-training paradigms remain difficult to compare because existing models often differ in architecture, data, action space, and evaluation protocol. We present VLAFlow (Vision-Language-Action Flow), a unified flow-matching framework for controlled comparison of VLA training objectives. Using a heterogeneous robot corpus, OXEMix, containing approximately 5,000 hours of data from DROID, OpenX-Embodiment, OpenX-Augmented, and RoboCOIN, we evaluate four paradigms under the same pi0-style architecture, shared VLM backbone, action expert, and 14-dimensional action space: action-only modeling (MindPI), language-supervised co-training (MindLPI), future latent alignment (MindWPI), and their combination (MindLWPI). Experiments on LIBERO, LIBERO-Plus, and SimplerEnv show that action-only pre-training is sensitive to heterogeneous data. In contrast, language supervision helps preserve vision-language generalization, while future latent alignment improves state-transition and action-outcome modeling. By combining both signals, MindLWPI achieves the most stable overall transfer performance across benchmarks. These results suggest a meta-action space view: language and future latent representations provide complementary intermediate constraints that make heterogeneous action supervision smoother and more transferable.

Multi-THuMBS: Multi-person Tracking of 3D Human Meshes Beyond Video Shots

Multi-THuMBS:超越视频镜头的多人人体网格三维跟踪
On, Jeongwan, Ali, Muhammad Salman, Khan, Muneeb A., Park, Sunwoo, Moon, Inwoong, Chang, Hyung Jin, Kim, Jaekwang, Ha, Seong Jong, Baek, Seungryul
Abstract
Tracking multi-person 3D human meshes from in-the-wild videos is a highly challenging problem due to complex interactions, frequent occlusions, and severe truncation inherent in unconstrained environments. While recent approaches have improved robustness against these issues, they largely overlook the critical challenge prevalent in real-world footage: frequent shot changes. These abrupt transitions in camera viewpoints often cause existing methods to lose track of human identities and fail in reconstructing temporally coherent trajectories. Although several recent works have explored 3D human mesh tracking under shot changes, they are still limited to single-person scenarios, making them inadequate for real-world videos where multiple people interact and appear simultaneously. To address this limitation, we propose Multi-THuMBS (Multi-person Tracking of 3D Human Meshes Beyond Video Shots) that leverages a state-of-the-art 3D scene prior to reconstruct the two boundary frames in a single shared 3D space. Human meshes are then registered within the shared 3D space, maintaining per-person identity and motion consistency across shot changes. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach yields significant improvements in 3D human mesh recovery, camera pose estimation, and identity tracking, thereby ensuring high-fidelity motion reconstruction with consistent identity preservation across shots compared to previous state-of-the-art methods.

Online Segment 3D Gaussians via Launching Virtual Drones

通过发射虚拟无人机进行在线分割3D高斯
Liao, Liwei, Wang, Rongjie, Wang, Ronggang
Abstract
Interactive segmentation of 3D Gaussians offers a compelling opportunity for real-time manipulation of 3D scenes, thanks to the real-time rendering capability of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). However, existing methods require a time-consuming per-scene setup - typically tens of seconds or even minutes - before interactive segmentation can begin on a raw 3DGS scene. This setup involves multi-view mask preparation, mask lifting, and feature distillation, creating a major bottleneck for online applications. To address this limitation, we aim to completely eliminate the setup stage for interactive 3DGS segmentation while keeping the segmentation time practical (under 1 second). In this work, we present SAGO (Segment Any Gaussians Online), a novel setup-free framework for interactive 3DGS segmentation. By introducing virtual drones, our method reframes the 3D segmentation problem as an online Next-Best-View (NBV) planning task formulated within a Markov process. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SAGO can extract clean 3D assets directly from 3D Gaussians with sub-second latency, thereby enabling a broad range of downstream applications such as object manipulation and scene editing. Moreover, our method achieves over a 50x speedup compared to the previous setup-free 3DGS segmentation frameworks.

DRDN: Decoupled Representation Dynamic Network for From-Scratch ViT Class-Incremental Learning

DRDN:用于从头开始的视觉变换器类增量学习的解耦表示动态网络
Huang, Bingchen, Chen, Yifu, Wang, Zhiling, Du, Yuanchao
Abstract
Dynamic expansion methods for class-incremental learning (CIL) protect task-specific knowledge by growing dedicated tokens or subnetworks, yet our analyses suggest that classification supervision alone does not sufficiently preserve task-agnostic shared backbone representations over long incremental sequences. We identify two intertwined challenges: cross-task confusion from sequential training on predominantly current-task data, which biases decision boundaries toward recent tasks; and under-optimized shared representations in the backbone that cap long-term discriminability as tasks accumulate. We propose the Decoupled Representation Dynamic Network (DRDN), which addresses these challenges via two orthogonal mechanisms. For shared backbone representations, DRDN continuously applies masked image modeling (MIM) at every incremental step, with reconstruction gradients routed exclusively through the backbone, encouraging it to retain general visual structure beyond class-discriminative cues. For task-specific discrimination, DRDN employs hierarchical task token expansion across all transformer layers, with a modified per-task attention rule that reduces inter-task interference. We support this design with accuracy degradation analysis and cross-task confusion rate measurements. In the from-scratch ViT CIL setting (no external pretraining), DRDN consistently improves over strong token-expansion baselines with comparable backbone scale. On CIFAR100-B0 (10 steps), DRDN achieves 77.19% average accuracy, outperforming DKT by 1.36 points and DyTox by 3.53 points, with an advantage that grows at longer incremental sequences. Multi-seed validation confirms stability (+/-0.31%). The MIM decoder is active only during training, adding no inference-time parameters or computation.

类增量学习(CIL)的动态扩展方法通过增长专用的标记或子网络来保护任务特定知识,但我们的分析表明,仅依靠分类监督并不足以在长增量序列中充分保留任务无关的共享主干表示。我们识别出两个相互交织的挑战:来自主要当前任务数据的顺序训练导致的跨任务混淆,这使得决策边界偏向于最近的任务;以及在主干中未优化的共享表示,限制了随着任务积累而产生的长期可区分性。我们提出了解耦表示动态网络(DRDN),通过两个正交机制来解决这些挑战。对于共享主干表示,DRDN在每个增量步骤中持续应用掩码图像建模(MIM),重建梯度仅通过主干路由,鼓励其保留超越类区分线索的一般视觉结构。对于任务特定的区分,DRDN在所有变换器层中采用分层任务标记扩展,并使用修改后的每任务注意力规则来减少任务间干扰。我们通过准确性下降分析和跨任务混淆率测量来支持这一设计。在从头开始的ViT CIL设置中(无外部预训练),DRDN在与可比主干规模的强标记扩展基线相比时,始终表现出改善。在CIFAR100-B0(10步)上,DRDN实现了77.19%的平均准确率,超越了DKT 1.36个百分点和DyTox 3.53个百分点,且在更长的增量序列中优势更为明显。多种种子验证确认了稳定性(+/-0.31%)。MIM解码器仅在训练期间激活,不增加推理时的参数或计算。

Bridging 3D Gaussians and Semantic Occupancy for Comprehensive Open-Vocabulary Scene Understanding from Unposed Images

桥接三维高斯与语义占用,实现无姿态图像的全面开放词汇场景理解
Zhu, Hu, Li, Bohan, Guo, Xianda, Peng, Yanlun, Zhu, Zheng, Jin, Xin, Zeng, Wenjun, Chen, Chang Wen
Abstract
Comprehensive 3D scene understanding from sparse, unposed images requires a model to recover renderable geometry, open-vocabulary semantics, and free/occupied 3D space without relying on external camera calibration. Recent feed-forward Gaussian methods improve pose-free reconstruction and semantic rendering, but their Gaussian primitives are mainly optimized through image-space objectives and remain weakly constrained in unobserved regions. We propose \textit{COVScene}, a pose-free semantic Gaussian framework that couples renderable Gaussian primitives with a dense semantic occupancy field through differentiable volumetric lifting. Instead of converting Gaussians to voxels only at evaluation time, COVScene lifts the predicted semantic Gaussians inside the training computation graph, so volumetric regularization provides gradients to Gaussian opacity, geometry, and semantic features. The framework combines a semantic-aware Geometry Transformer, multi-task Gaussian decoding, geometric foundation distillation, and occupancy entropy regularization to support novel view synthesis, open-vocabulary semantic querying, and semantic occupancy prediction within a single representation. Experiments on ScanNet and ScanNet++ show that COVScene maintains competitive rendering quality, improves open-vocabulary segmentation, and achieves stronger semantic occupancy prediction than the self-supervised baseline without direct voxel-level supervision.

Hardware-agnostic strategies for accelerating text-to-image diffusion, such as timestep distillation and feature caching, can reduce inference time without custom kernels or system-level optimization. Among them, multi-resolution generation strategies have recently received broad attention, attaining more than 5x speedup without any training. However, the design of performing upsampling in the latent space, together with the selective modification of partial regions, causes these methods to exhibit noticeable blurring or artifacts. To this end, we propose MrFlow, a training-free multi-resolution acceleration strategy for pretrained flow-matching models built upon a staged low-to-high-resolution pipeline. MrFlow first rapidly generates the main structure at low resolution, then performs super-resolution in the pixel space using a lightweight pretrained GAN-based model, subsequently injects low-strength noise to enable high-frequency resampling, and finally refines the details at high resolution. Quantitative and qualitative results on FLUX.1-dev and Qwen-Image show that MrFlow exploits the quadratic token reduction and reduced step requirement of low-resolution sampling to achieve 10x end-to-end acceleration while keeping OneIG within a 1% gap relative to that before acceleration, significantly surpassing other training-free acceleration strategies, and requiring no training or runtime dynamic identification whatsoever. MrFlow can further be directly combined orthogonally with pre-trained timestep distillation strategies, achieving even higher generation acceleration of up to 25x.

Boosting Ultrasound Image Classification via Attribute-Guided Dual-Branch Framework

通过属性引导的双分支框架提升超声图像分类
Zhao, Bo, Li, Yapeng, Liu, Juhua, Du, Bo
Abstract
Ultrasound image classification is essential for computer-aided diagnosis. However, current methods often neglect clinical priors, leading to poor generalization in challenging scenarios and a lack of interpretability that limits clinical adoption. To address these issues, we aim to develop a medical-prior module that can be seamlessly integrated into existing pipelines to enhance both diagnostic performance and interpretability. In this paper, we propose an attribute-guided dual-branch framework for ultrasound classification that introduces domain-agnostic medical attribute priors, improving generalization while offering interpretable evidence. Specifically, a baseline branch follows conventional architectures and predicts image categories via a fully connected classifier. An attribute-guided branch injects domain-agnostic attributes as priors and produces human-interpretable decision cues. Finally, an adaptive decision module fuses the two branches in a data-dependent manner to yield the final prediction. Experiments across diverse ultrasound classification tasks demonstrate that our approach can be integrated into multiple backbones and state-of-the-art methods with low overhead, consistently improving accuracy and interpretability.

Plug-and-Play Volumetric Reconstruction for Compressive Sensing Light-Sheet Microscopy

即插即用的压缩感知光片显微镜体积重建
Jia, Jianqing, Gong, Yi, Zhang, Xinyuan, Chai, Jichen, Ding, Yichen, Lou, Yifei
Abstract
We investigate volumetric reconstruction for compressive sensing light-sheet microscopy (CS-LSM), where fast volumetric imaging is achieved by encoding multiple axial planes into each camera exposure. To recover the underlying volume from highly multiplexed measurements, we propose a plug-and-play (PnP) framework that flexibly incorporates any user-specified denoiser into the reconstruction process. Building on a slice-based formulation, we further introduce an axial-coupled model that exploits correlations between adjacent slices to improve volumetric continuity. For efficient computation, we derive a Woodbury-based update for the data-consistency step in both the slice-based and axial-coupled formulations, and employ a Gauss-Seidel sweep for the denoising step in the axial-coupled model. Under a weakly convex regularization assumption, we establish subsequential convergence of the proposed algorithm. Experiments on synthetic and real zebrafish-heart data demonstrate that the proposed framework successfully recovers cellular structures from compressed measurements, and provide practical insights into the comparative performance of commonly used denoisers within the PnP framework under the CS-LSM setup.

Domain Generalization via Text-Anchored Information Bottleneck

通过文本锚定的信息瓶颈实现领域泛化
Lyou, Eunyi, Choi, Yunjeong, Lee, Junho, Lee, Joonseok
Abstract
Visual recognition models often fail when deployed in new environments. Domain Generalization (DG) addresses this by learning representations that remain invariant to environment-specific variations. Recent approaches increasingly rely on large vision-language models, assuming that preserving their expressive visual representations improves robustness. However, we show that such visual expressiveness can instead propagate spurious cues that tie representations to the training environments, hindering invariant learning. We therefore discard visual guidance and instead treat the language embedding space as the primary source of domain invariance, naturally acting as an information bottleneck that preserves core semantics while suppressing domain-specific variations. Extensive experiments across diverse backbones exhibit state-of-the-art performance and further analyze what makes guidance effective for robust generalization. These findings shift the focus of DG from improving representations to designing supervision that enforces invariance.

Teaching Vision-Language-Action Models What to See and Where to Look

教导视觉-语言-动作模型该看什么以及如何观察

Abstract
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a promising paradigm for end-to-end autonomous driving. However, existing VLAs' training relies heavily on text-centric visual question answering and chain-of-thought reasoning data, which emphasizes linguistic reasoning rather than action-grounded planning. As a result, the learned representations capture semantic knowledge but lack spatial dependencies crucial for reliable trajectory prediction. We propose DriveTeach-VLA, a framework that explicitly teaches VLAs what to see and where to look. Driving-aware Vision Distillation (DVD) injects driving-specific perceptual priors into the vision encoder, while 2D Trajectory-Guided Prompts (2D-TGP) provide spatial conditioning aligned with feasible driving trajectories. Together, they form a vision-guided learning pipeline: what to see (DVD pretraining) - where to look (TGP-guided SFT) - how to act (TGP-guided GRPO). DriveTeach-VLA achieves the state-of-the-art performance on NAVSIM and nuScenes. Our code is available at: https://github.com/ShivaTeam/DriveTeach-VLA.

Unified Panoramic-Gaussian Representation for Monocular 4D Scene Synthesis

统一的全景高斯表示用于单目4D场景合成
Yang, Yuankun, Wei, Yi, Zhou, Wenyang, Zhang, Li
Abstract
4D scene synthesis from monocular videos has made significant progress in recent years. However, existing methods are typically constrained by view interpolation. As a result, they struggle to infer unseen regions beyond the observed views. In this paper, we reformulate the task as 4D scene synthesis with unseen regions, which extends beyond traditional interpolation settings. Camera-conditioned video generation enables unseen region synthesis by guiding generation along specified cameras. However, these methods lack explicit 3D priors and are optimized with random camera trajectories. This design leads to severe inconsistencies under large trajectory deviations. To address this limitation, we build a unified training and inference framework with panoramic trajectory guidance. While this design improves cross-view consistency, the panoramic representation alone fails to model dynamic content effectively. Object motion in panoramic space introduces scale and shape distortions. To address this, we propose PanoGaussian, a unified Panoramic-Gaussian representation that distills the panoramic representation into an explicit dynamic Gaussian representation to capture dynamic physical priors of the 4D scene. Experiments demonstrate that PanoGaussian achieves consistent 4D scene synthesis even under large viewpoint variations.

近年来,从单目视频中进行4D场景合成取得了显著进展。然而,现有方法通常受到视图插值的限制,因此在推断未观察区域时面临困难。本文将任务重新表述为包含未观察区域的4D场景合成,超越了传统的插值设置。基于相机条件的视频生成通过沿指定相机引导生成来实现未观察区域的合成。然而,这些方法缺乏明确的3D先验,并且在随机相机轨迹下进行优化。这种设计在大轨迹偏差下导致严重的不一致性。为了解决这一限制,我们构建了一个统一的训练和推理框架,采用全景轨迹引导。尽管这一设计改善了跨视图一致性,但单靠全景表示无法有效建模动态内容。在全景空间中的物体运动引入了尺度和形状的失真。为此,我们提出了PanoGaussian,一种统一的全景高斯表示,它将全景表示提炼为明确的动态高斯表示,以捕捉4D场景的动态物理先验。实验表明,即使在大视点变化下,PanoGaussian也能够实现一致的4D场景合成。

Zhao, Chen, Ma, Jiajun, Huang, Qilong, Fan, Tiehan, Li, Hongyu, Kang, Zhuoliang, Wei, Xiaoming, Yang, Jian, Tai, Ying
Abstract
While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have advanced video understanding, achieving precise temporal and cross-modal alignment in audiovisual video captioning remains a formidable challenge. Most existing approaches suffer from modality detachment and temporal incoherence, failing to accurately bind auditory events to visual entities or capture complex causal dynamics. To address these deficiencies, we propose TCA-Captioner, a framework specifically engineered to enhance Temporal and Cross-Modal Alignment for audiovisual video captioning. We first introduce the Observer-Checker-Corrector (OCC) framework, an iterative refinement strategy that generates high-fidelity, meticulously grounded training data. Leveraging a curated high-density human interaction dataset, TCA-Captioner is optimized to model sophisticated audiovisual interactions. Furthermore, we present TCA-Bench, a diagnostic benchmark utilizing a Decoupled Evaluation Protocol to isolate and quantify model proficiency in audiovisual binding and temporal relational reasoning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TCA-Captioner sets a new standard for temporally-coherent and synchronized audiovisual narratives.

HistoSeg++: Delving deeper with attention and multiscale feature fusion for biomarker segmentation

HistoSeg++:通过注意力机制和多尺度特征融合深入探讨生物标志物分割
Wazir, Saad, Faizan, Rao, Kim, Daeyoung
Abstract
Segmentation of biomarkers in medical images is frequently viewed as a first step towards medical image analysis in any bioinformatics or biomedical application. Despite progress, existing methods still struggle to capture information at multiple scales and to perform upsampling effectively across different datasets. These shortcomings often result in suboptimal generalization capabilities. Recently, architectures belonging to the Nested-UNet family excel in capturing multiscale contextual information and upsample them effectively. In this work, We propose a novel Nested-UNet architecture that effectively captures multi-scale contextual information. It includes inner and outer attention units to enhance focus during upsampling, along with channel-wise feature recalibration using squeeze-and-excitation modules, leading to improved segmentation performance. Additionally, the architecture integrates an edge-aware loss to emphasize boundary accuracy by assigning greater importance to edge regions. Tested extensively on three publicly available benchmark datasets. Our method demonstrates a generalization performance superior to existing Nested-UNet methods.

ICDepth: Taming Video Diffusion Models for Video Depth Estimation via In-Context Conditioning

ICDepth:通过上下文条件调节驯化视频扩散模型以进行视频深度估计
He, Xuanhua, Xie, Jiaxin, Zheng, Mingzhe, Chen, Qifeng
Abstract
Monocular video depth estimation requires temporal consistency, geometric accuracy, and generalization across diverse scenarios, yet existing methods struggle to achieve all three simultaneously. Discriminative models excel at per-frame accuracy but suffer from temporal drift due to limited context windows, while generative methods improve consistency and generalization at the cost of extensive training data (10M+ samples) and lack of geometric precision. In response to these issues, we introduce \textbf{ICDepth}, a framework that adapts pre-trained text-to-video diffusion transformers for video depth estimation via In-Context Conditioning (ICC), leveraging their rich spatial-temporal priors. To address key challenges in transferring ICC from generation to dense prediction, we propose: (1)~\textbf{SAND-Attention}, which ensures precise spatial-temporal alignment via shared RoPE and enforces unidirectional attention to prevent noise contamination; (2)~\textbf{SRFM}, which injects DINOv2 semantic and resolution priors to enhance geometric precision. ICDepth achieves state-of-the-art results on multiple benchmarks with remarkable data efficiency, trained on only 0.8M frames ($6$--$13\times$ less than competing generative methods), while demonstrating strong zero-shot generalization to diverse domains.

Structure-Aware Gaussian Splatting for Large-Scale Scene Reconstruction

结构感知高斯点云用于大规模场景重建
Xue, Weiyi, Lu, Fan, Zhang, Chi, Wang, Tianhang, Qu, Sanqing, Zheng, Zehan, Zheng, Boyuan, Zhao, Junqiao, Chen, Guang
Abstract
3D Gaussian Splatting has demonstrated remarkable potential in novel view synthesis. In contrast to small-scale scenes, large-scale scenes inevitably contain sparsely observed regions with excessively sparse initial points. In this case, supervising Gaussians initialized from low-frequency sparse points with high-frequency images often induces uncontrolled densification and redundant primitives, degrading both efficiency and quality. Intuitively, this issue can be mitigated with scheduling strategies, which can be categorized into two paradigms: modulating target signal frequency via densification and modulating sampling frequency via image resolution. However, previous scheduling strategies are primarily hardcoded, failing to perceive the convergence behavior of scene frequency. To address this, we reframe the scene reconstruction problem from the perspective of signal structure recovery and propose SIG, a novel scheduler that synchronizes image supervision with Gaussian frequencies. Specifically, we derive the average sampling frequency and bandwidth of 3D representations, and then regulate the training image resolution and the Gaussian densification process based on scene frequency convergence. Furthermore, we introduce Sphere-Constrained Gaussians, which leverage the spatial prior of initialized point clouds to control Gaussian optimization. Our framework enables frequency-consistent, geometry-aware, and floater-free training, achieving state-of-the-art performance by a substantial margin in both efficiency and rendering quality in large-scale scenes.

LASER: A Corrective Lens for LVLMs via Visual Attention Preservation and Sink Suppression

LASER:通过视觉注意力保持和沉没抑制为 LVLMs 提供的校正镜头
Yuan, Bowen, Wang, Zijian, Luo, Yadan, Wang, Shijie, Huang, Zi
Abstract
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) exhibit strong reasoning ability but suffer from visual forgetting during long-horizon decoding, where attention progressively drifts away from visual evidence. Existing methods largely treat this issue as a late-stage attention decay problem or attempt to mitigate it through heuristic reminders or post-hoc attention lifting. Through systematic empirical analysis, we find that performance degradation under visual forgetting is largely driven by two overlooked factors: early-stage attention decay disrupts evidence acquisition, and attention concentration on a subset of task-irrelevant visual sink tokens. Motivated by these insights, we propose LASER, a post-training framework that regulates both the visual attention trajectory and intra-visual token attention distribution during reasoning. Technically, LASER introduces two complementary rewards: a Visual Grounding Reward, which encourages the model to maintain attention on semantically salient visual tokens throughout decoding, and a Sink Suppression Reward, which penalizes excessive attention concentration on visual sink tokens. Together, these rewards preserve early-stage grounding while preventing attention collapse onto uninformative regions. Extensive experiments on eight benchmark datasets demonstrate that LASER consistently outperforms strong baselines, validating attention-aware training as an effective remedy for visual forgetting.

Consistent Scene Understanding in 3D Gaussian Splatting via Multi-Cue Mask Refinement

通过多线索掩膜细化实现一致的3D高斯点云场景理解
Park, Hyunjoon, Cho, Donghyeon
Abstract
Reliable instance-level scene understanding is a fundamental prerequisite for object-level interactions and high-fidelity 3D representations. While current methods often leverage 2D foundation segmentation models to obtain these priors, their 2D-centric design typically yields fragmented masks and inconsistent predictions across different views. To address these issues, we propose a novel framework that produces consistent 2D instance masks to guide the optimization of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) feature fields. Our framework consists of three main stages. (1) Multi-Cue Extraction that generates synergistic semantic, geometric, and structural priors from input images. (2) Multi-Cue-Guided Mask Merging process that consolidates fragmented masks using a composite merge score derived from semantic, depth, and edge cues. (3) Cross-View Mask Matching that establishes globally consistent identity assignments across all viewpoints. By transforming viewpoint-specific segments into coherent 3D primitives, our approach enables stable 3D instance segmentation and effective downstream editing tasks. Experiments demonstrate that our method significantly improves cross-view consistency and segmentation stability over existing baselines while maintaining high-fidelity photometric reconstruction.

Beyond Pixel Diffs: Benchmarking Image Change Captioning for Web UI Visual Regression Testing

超越像素差异:Web UI 视觉回归测试的图像变化描述基准
Zhang, Licheng, Le, Bach, Zhao, Pengtao, Akhtar, Naveed
Abstract
Visual regression testing (VRT) is a standard quality assurance step in modern software release pipelines. On every change, it re-renders user interface (UI) screenshots, compares each one against an approved baseline image, and routes any detected difference to a human reviewer who decides whether it is an intended update or an unintended regression. A widely used approach, especially in open-source and continuous-integration pipelines, is pixel-level comparison, which is semantically blind and treats rendering noise and genuine defects identically, producing large volumes of false positives that force developers and testers to spend substantial time and effort manually reviewing flagged differences at every release cycle. Industry tools apply machine learning to VRT, but lack public evaluation. More critically, no dataset or benchmark exists to support natural language descriptions of UI changes, a capability that tells testers what changed in words instead of leaving them to interpret a binary flag or a highlighted region. To address the gap, we propose a new task, Web UI Image Change Captioning (WUICC), which sits at the intersection of VRT and image difference captioning (IDC), and release WUICC-bench, its first dataset and benchmark for the task. We evaluate eleven representative IDC methods, together with two zero-shot general-purpose LLMs. We find that: (1) these methods tend to struggle in the Web UI domain due to its layout diversity, dense text, and fine-grained changes, and (2) yet the trained methods already suppress non-meaningful visual noise far more selectively than the pixel-level comparison VRT relies on, providing a solid foundation for future domain-specific research.

ReQuest: Rethinking-based Question-Aware Frame Selection for Long-Form Video QA

ReQuest:基于重新思考的问题感知帧选择用于长视频问答
Kim, Minkuk, Yun, Suyong, Kim, Young Tae, Moon, Jinyoung, Choi, Jinwoo, Kim, Seong Tae
Abstract
Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have substantially advanced video understanding, yet long-form video QA remains challenging under fixed input token budgets, where uniform sampling can be inefficient for evidence localization. We propose ReQuest , an uncertainty-driven, question-adaptive keyframe selection pipeline that aligns question intent with relevant video content through selective computation. ReQuest integrates (i) a lightweight question-aware selector distilled from MLLM-generated supervision, (ii) Re-thinking Routing that triggers additional inference only when the model is uncertain with a length-adaptive criterion, and (iii) uncertainty-guided adaptive non-maximum suppression that selects temporally diverse frames while adjusting spacing based on question difficulty. As a plug-andplay method, ReQuest improves long-video QA without modifying or fine-tuning the underlying MLLM.

InterCMDM: Block-Causal Diffusion for Autoregressive Human Interaction Generation

InterCMDM:用于自回归人类互动生成的块因果扩散
Yu, Qing, Fujiwara, Kent
Abstract
Text-conditioned human interaction generation must capture both long-range temporal causality within each individual and tightly coupled coordination between partners. Existing interaction diffusion models typically denoise full sequences using bidirectional attention, which obscures causality and hinders streaming and long-horizon generation. Autoregressive alternatives enforce causality but often suffer from temporal drift, leading to coordination degradation and unstable interaction dynamics over time. We propose InterCMDM, a block-causal latent diffusion framework for autoregressive two-person interaction generation. InterCMDM introduces a Dual-Stream Causal Diffusion Transformer that maintains separate causal streams for each person while modeling inter-person dependencies via unified dual-stream attention with multi-task attention masks. These masks unify interaction modeling within a single attention mechanism and support diverse coordination behaviors, including simultaneous actions, reactive responses, leader-follower dynamics, and independent motion. By training a single model across these mask configurations as a form of data augmentation, InterCMDM enables controllable interaction generation by simply selecting the desired attention mask at inference time. Finally, a block-wise diffusion objective enables stable latent rollout over long sequences without repeated decode-encode cycles. InterCMDM achieves state-of-the-art performance on InterHuman and Inter-X, improving text-motion alignment, realism, and long-horizon continuity.

基于文本的人类互动生成必须捕捉到每个个体内部的长程时间因果关系以及合作伙伴之间的紧密协调。现有的互动扩散模型通常使用双向注意力对完整序列进行去噪,这模糊了因果关系并妨碍了流式和长时间生成。自回归替代方法强制执行因果关系,但往往会遭遇时间漂移,导致协调退化和随时间变化的不稳定互动动态。我们提出了InterCMDM,一种用于自回归双人互动生成的块因果潜在扩散框架。InterCMDM引入了一种双流因果扩散变换器,为每个人维护独立的因果流,同时通过统一的双流注意力和多任务注意力掩码建模个体间的依赖关系。这些掩码在单一注意力机制内统一了互动建模,并支持多样的协调行为,包括同时动作、反应性响应、领导-跟随动态和独立运动。通过在这些掩码配置上训练单一模型作为一种数据增强形式,InterCMDM使得通过在推理时简单选择所需的注意力掩码来实现可控的互动生成。最后,块级扩散目标使得在长序列上实现稳定的潜在展开,而无需重复的解码-编码循环。InterCMDM在InterHuman和Inter-X上实现了最先进的性能,提高了文本-动作对齐、真实感和长时间连续性。

RTE-FM-Dehazer: Radiative Transfer Equation Inspired Flow Matching for Real-World Image Dehazing

RTE-FM-Dehazer:基于辐射传输方程的流匹配方法用于真实场景图像去雾
Wei, Chenfeng, Wang, Chun, Zhao, Boyang, Zuo, Si, Wang, Shenhong, Yang, Chenguang
Abstract
Single-image dehazing aims to recover a clear scene from a hazy image and is generally formulated as an image-to-image translation task; however, it faces two limitations. Its performance depends heavily on the haze-formation priors embedded in the model. Prevailing methods adopt the Atmospheric Scattering Model (ASM), whose assumptions of single scattering and homogeneous media are often violated, leading to residual haze and color drift. Moreover, large-scale real hazy/clear pairs are impractical to collect, and existing synthesis approaches fail to reproduce the full complexity of natural haze. To address these issues, we present RTE-FM-Dehazer, a novel dehazing approach, together with a scalable data pipeline. Unlike the ASM, the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) jointly accounts for both scattering and absorption, naturally accommodating the non-homogeneous, multiple-scattering media that characterize real hazy scenes. Motivated by the structural similarity between the RTE diffusion-absorption term and the ODE in flow matching, we introduce a diffusion-absorption regularizer derived from a reduced RTE, to steer the flow matching trajectory at each step. Next, leveraging modern vision-language models, we build an automated pipeline and release P-HAZE, a dataset of 50000 realistic hazy/clear pairs. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that RTE-FM-Dehazer, trained solely on P-HAZE, effectively eliminates artifacts like residual haze and color drift, exhibits strong cross-domain generalization, and achieves leading results on five real-world dehazing benchmarks.

单幅图像去雾旨在从模糊图像中恢复清晰场景,通常被表述为图像到图像的转换任务;然而,它面临两个局限性。其性能在很大程度上依赖于模型中嵌入的雾霾形成先验。现有方法采用大气散射模型(Atmospheric Scattering Model, ASM),但其单次散射和均匀介质的假设常常被违反,导致残余雾霾和颜色漂移。此外,大规模的真实模糊/清晰图像对的收集是不切实际的,现有的合成方法无法重现自然雾霾的复杂性。为了解决这些问题,我们提出了RTE-FM-Dehazer,这是一种新颖的去雾方法,并配备可扩展的数据管道。与ASM不同,辐射传输方程(Radiative Transfer Equation, RTE)同时考虑了散射和吸收,自然适应了真实模糊场景中非均匀和多次散射介质的特征。受到RTE扩散-吸收项与流匹配中的常微分方程(ODE)之间结构相似性的启发,我们引入了一种基于简化RTE的扩散-吸收正则化器,以引导每一步的流匹配轨迹。接下来,利用现代视觉-语言模型,我们构建了一个自动化管道,并发布了P-HAZE,一个包含50000对真实模糊/清晰图像的数据集。大量评估表明,仅在P-HAZE上训练的RTE-FM-Dehazer有效消除了残余雾霾和颜色漂移等伪影,表现出强大的跨域泛化能力,并在五个真实世界去雾基准测试中取得了领先的结果。

MedStreamBench: A Time-Aware Benchmark for Streaming and Proactive Medical Video Understanding

MedStreamBench:一个时间感知的流媒体和主动医学视频理解基准
Wang, Yuan, Gao, Shujian, Jiang, Songtao, Hu, Zhengyu, Liu, Zuozhu
Abstract
Existing medical video benchmarks primarily evaluate whether a model produces the correct answer, but rarely assess whether it answers at the right time. In real clinical settings, AI systems must decide not only what to predict, but also when to answer, defer judgment, or proactively raise alerts. This creates a critical gap between benchmark evaluation and deployment requirements. We present MedStreamBench, a benchmark for time-aware medical video understanding. MedStreamBench integrates 22 medical datasets and 5,419 QA instances across four temporal settings: retrospective, present, future, and proactive. Unlike conventional benchmarks that assume full-video access, MedStreamBench restricts models to temporally bounded evidence windows and supports both single-turn and streaming evaluation. We further introduce a proactive monitoring setting that requires models to determine whether and when clinically relevant alerts should be triggered. Beyond answer correctness, MedStreamBench evaluates temporal behavior through responsiveness and post-evidence stability. Experiments on leading general-purpose and medical vision-language models reveal a substantial gap between offline recognition and temporally grounded decision-making, with performance dropping markedly in streaming and proactive settings. Our benchmark is available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/Venn2024/MedStreamBench.

The Turning Point of 3D Plant Phenotyping: 3D Foundation Models Enable Minute-to-Second Cross-Crop Reconstruction and Beyond

3D植物表型分析的转折点:3D基础模型实现跨作物的分钟至秒级重建及其应用
Jia, Hanyue, Zhou, Wei, Zhou, Wenbo, Li, Yanan, Lu, Hao, Wu, Tingting
Abstract
3D plant phenotyping is notoriously known to be procedure-complicated and of low throughput due to the extensive multi-view imaging, the fragile 3D reconstruction pipeline, and the additional cost from reconstructed geometry to phenotypic extraction. These limitations are further amplified in low-cost data acquisition, where smartphone videos or sparsely sampled multi-view images provide limited view overlap and self-occlusion. In this work, we show that the conventional 3D plant phenotyping pipeline could be streamlined and significantly accelerated with 3D Foundation Models (3DFMs), and particularly, present one of the first cross-crop 3D phenotyping frameworks powered by 3DFMs. The framework replaces COLMAP-style sparse initialization with 3DFM-based feed-forward geometric recovery, combines geometry-constrained 3D Gaussian Splatting for dense reconstruction, enables few-view reconstruction through iterative view synthesis and refinement, and converts reconstructed geometry into measurable organs through 2D-to-3D semantic transfer, metric scale recovery, and organ instance separation. We further construct a cross-crop dataset with smartphone-based image acquisition, diverse plant morphologies, and manual annotations for segmentation and phenotypic evaluation. Experiments across 26 plant sequences show that 3D Foundation Models reduce the average reconstruction time from 6.52 minutes to 1.58 seconds while maintaining high reconstruction quality and phenotyping accuracy. These results suggest a fresh technical route for high-throughput 3D plant phenotyping, from low-cost image acquisition to fast reconstruction, perception, scale recovery, and phenotypic measurement.

ProSAC-CT: Progressive Spectral-Anatomical Co-Guided Multi-Stage Diffusion Model for Low-Dose CT Denoising

ProSAC-CT:渐进式光谱-解剖共指导多阶段扩散模型用于低剂量CT去噪
Liu, Xuepeng, Liu, Zetong, Li, Renyiming, Li, Yan, Li, Ruiyu, Li, Ruili, Ding, Jiayi, Takaya, Eichi
Abstract
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reduces radiation exposure but introduces stronger quantum noise, streak artifacts, and local texture degradation, which can obscure anatomical boundaries and weaken low-contrast structures. Diffusion models are promising for LDCT denoising by progressively recovering normal-dose CT (NDCT) images from degraded LDCT inputs, but existing methods often suffer from insufficient anatomical guidance, uncertain frequency-dependent recovery, and uniform reverse-process modeling. We propose ProSAC-CT, a progressive spectral-anatomical co-guided multi-stage diffusion model for image-domain LDCT denoising. ProSAC-CT integrates an anatomical-prior-guided conditioning (APGC) module, a residual frequency-domain decoupling stage (RFDDS), and a time-step-decoupling denoising decoder (TD3). APGC extracts LDCT-derived structural guidance, RFDDS enhances frequency-aware representations, and TD3 assigns them to different reverse-diffusion stages for anatomical stabilization, boundary refinement, and fine-detail recovery. Experiments on four LDCT degradation benchmarks show that ProSAC-CT improves image fidelity, structural similarity, perceptual quality, and information preservation over representative methods while better preserving boundary-sensitive anatomical details. Downstream anatomical-region classification on Mayo-2020 further indicates that ProSAC-CT retains task-relevant anatomical information, supporting its practical use for low-dose CT denoising.

DL-VINS-Factory: A Modular Framework for Learned Visual Front-Ends in Visual-Inertial SLAM

DL-VINS-Factory:视觉惯性SLAM中学习视觉前端的模块化框架
Lim, Shoon Kit, Chong, Melissa Jia Ying, Ling, Ting Yang
Abstract
Deep-learning features excel in visual matching, yet their practical value in tightly coupled visual-inertial SLAM (VI-SLAM) remains insufficiently characterized. We present DL-VINS-Factory, a unified framework that integrates learned feature extractors (ALIKED, RaCo, SuperPoint, XFeat) with either Lucas--Kanade (LK) optical-flow tracking or LightGlue (LG) descriptor matching. All front-ends share a sliding-window Ceres back-end, with optional AnyLoc DINOv2-VLAD loop closure, and 4-DoF pose-graph optimization. We benchmark the system across the four datasets covering indoor, unstructured outdoor, aggressive-motion, and visually degraded conditions. Results show that learned front-ends are viable for real-time embedded VI-SLAM, but are not universally superior to classical tracking. Relative to the corresponding GFTT+LK baseline, ALIKED+LG reduces EuRoC ATE by $5\%$ in monocular odometry and by $7\%$ in stereo with loop-closure. On NTU-VIRAL, where aggressive aerial motion increases inter-frame viewpoint change, ALIKED+LG stereo reduces loop-closed ATE by $12\%$. In Botanic Garden dataset, optical-flow tracking remains preferable, but learned keypoints still improve over the baseline GFTT, in which SuperPoint+LK reduces grayscale camera ATE by $29\%$, while RaCo+LK reduces RGB camera ATE by $38\%$. On SubT-MRS, learned front-ends display varying degree of improvement based on individual cases. With TensorRT acceleration on a Jetson AGX Orin, all valid configurations run in real time between $29$--$47$ FPS in monocular mode and $18$--$33$ FPS in stereo mode for the EuRoC and NTU-VIRAL datasets. AnyLoc further confirms roughly $2$--$7\times$ more valid loops than BRIEF+DBoW2. The implementation is open-sourced at https://github.com/limshoonkit/DL-VINS-Factory-ROS2/.

ProCal: Inference-Time Proposal Calibration for Open-Vocabulary Object Detection

ProCal:开放词汇目标检测的推理时间提议校准
Hong, Jae-Ryung, Kim, Ho-Joong, Lee, Seong-Whan
Abstract
Open-vocabulary object detection aims to localize and classify objects beyond the fixed set of categories seen dur ing training. Recent open-vocabulary object detection methods improve localization and classification for unseen categories by leveraging a frozen VLM as a detector backbone. However, VLM classification score lacks recognizing position and scale of the object in an image. We observe that pretrained VLMs en able to classify foreground and background regions. According to this observation, we propose a simple inference-time Pro posal Calibration (ProCal) that improves localization quality of the classification score. ProCal computes a proposal prior by combining two scores: localization-aware foreground score and background-aware suppression score. Localization-aware foreground score captures whether a proposal contains an object area. Background-aware suppression score measures the extent to which the proposal resembles background. We analyze that ProCal suppresses false novel activation on background proposals and consistently ranks true novel proposals above background and partial novel proposals. Applied to CLIPSelf ViT-L/14, ProCal improves APr +2.5 on OV-LVIS. The analyses show that proposal-level localization-aware reranking effects to mitigate ranking miscalibration for novel objects.

Abstract
Text driven hand object interaction (HOI) generation is gaining attention for immersive applications and robotics, yet producing physically plausible interactions remains challenging. Even when individual motions appear natural, small contact errors can cause conspicuous artifacts such as floating and interpenetration. Prior methods mitigate these issues using explicit contact cues or implicit grasp priors, but typically rely on multi stage pipelines and fail to model temporally evolving contact. We present JointHOI, a single stage diffusion framework that jointly generates 3D hand object motion and dynamic, distance based contact maps from text. By treating contact as an auxiliary inner modality, joint generation enables the model to learn contact motion coupling during training. At inference, contact guided sampling enforces consistency between generated contact maps and motion implied geometry, improving temporal stability and reducing penetration and floating. Experiments on GRAB and ARCTIC demonstrate consistent improvements in text adherence and physical plausibility over prior methods.

LLM-Empowered Multimodal Fusion Framework for Autonomous Driving: Semantic Enhancement and Channel-Adaptive Design

基于大型语言模型的多模态融合框架用于自动驾驶:语义增强与通道自适应设计
Wang, Wen, Sun, Yaping, He, Yejun, Chen, Hao, Chen, Zhiyong, Xu, Xiaodong, Ma, Nan, Cui, Shuguang
Abstract
Vision-radar fusion is central to robust autonomous driving, combining dense visual semantics with precise range and velocity measurements from radar. However, real-world fusion quality is fundamentally challenged by dynamically varying input quality, stemming from occlusion, adverse weather, and channel noise. To address this, we re-frame the problem from static data fusion to channel-aware semantic reasoning and propose a Large Language Model-centric Semantic-layer Channel-aware Integrated Perception (LM-SCIP) framework. It places a Large Language Model (LLM) as a central reasoning core to fuse a local visual stream with a quality-varying external radar stream used to cover perception-blind spots. Concretely, LM-SCIP couples a hierarchical radar-vision encoder with a Channel-Adaptive Semantic Module (CASM) that maps link indicators into a "Channel Prompt" to dynamically gate external radar features. A parameter-efficient, LoRA-tuned LLM, in conjunction with a heterogeneous Mixture-of-Experts (H-MoE), then arbitrates between local visual cues and the channel-conditioned radar context. Finally, a decoupled multi-task decoder outputs localization, trajectory forecasting, and image reconstruction. Experiments on nuScenes and VIRAT validate our approach. On nuScenes, under a controlled toggle of radar input, LM-SCIP reduces localization RMSE by 40.0% versus a vision-only baseline. On VIRAT, the model attains a 0.214m localization RMSE and 0.179m minFDE (k=1). These results reveal that the proposed LM-SCIP enables a robust vision-dominant fallback at low SNR and synergistic fusion at high SNR.

SpaceEra++: A Unified Framework Towards 3D Spatial Reasoning in Video

SpaceEra++:面向视频中的三维空间推理的统一框架
Guan, Weili, Zhang, Haoyu, Liu, Meng, Xiang, Qianlong, Wang, Yaowei, Nie, Liqiang
Abstract
Visual-spatial understanding, defined as the ability to infer object relationships and scene layouts from visual inputs, is fundamental to downstream tasks such as robotic navigation and embodied interaction. However, pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs) remain constrained by spatial uncertainty stemming from inherently 2D observations and by the scarcity of data for 3D spatial understanding. To address these limitations, we proposed a novel framework, SpaceEra, in the NeurIPS 2025 Spotlight paper. Although it achieved significant performance gains, we further observed that its effectiveness is hindered by insufficient input from scanning videos and weak reasoning constraints. To tackle these newly emerged challenges, we extend the original framework into a comprehensive system, termed SpaceEra++, which spans data construction, model design, training optimization, and prompting inference. Specifically, to alleviate input insufficiency, we introduce ScenePick, a frame sampling strategy that balances spatial coverage with object semantics to produce compact yet comprehensive scene representations. In addition, to enhance spatial reasoning, we develop SpaceAlign, which enforces pairwise object constraints by jointly exploiting absolute coordinates and relative spatial relations, thereby aligning optimization with spatial accuracy. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmarks demonstrate consistent improvements over strong baselines, while ablation studies validate both the individual and joint contributions of each component, and further analyses provide guidance for future research.

PixGS: Pixel-Space Diffusion for Direct 3D Gaussian Splat Generation

PixGS:用于直接生成3D高斯斑点的像素空间扩散
Cao, Duy, Nguyen-Ha, Phong
Abstract
Recent advances in 3D content generation from text or images have achieved impressive results, yet view inconsistency from 2D generators and the scarcity of high-quality 3D data remain significant bottlenecks. Existing solutions typically adapt large-scale pre-trained text-to-image latent diffusion models to generate 3D Gaussian Splats (3DGS). However, these approaches often rely on training complex cascade pipelines that are computationally expensive and scalability-limited. Most critically, the quality of generated 3D assets is inherently constrained by each component capacity and compressed latent space, leading to decoding artifacts and accumulated errors. To address these limitations, we propose PixGS, a single-stage pipeline for direct high-quality 3DGS generation, which leverages recent advances in pixel-space diffusion to bypass lossy latent compression while still benefiting from the vast 2D generative priors. By directly denoising 3D Gaussian attributes at each timestep, our method enables precise, splat-level regularization of both appearance and geometry. Furthermore, we introduce a comprehensive supervision strategy that incorporates surface normals, depth, and high-frequency structural information, which is often overlooked in prior works. Experiments demonstrate that PixGS outperforms current state-of-the-art methods while maintaining a fast inference speed (1s on a single A100 GPU), offering a robust and efficient alternative to multi-stage generation pipelines.

MMBench-Live: A Continuously Evolving Benchmark for Multimodal Models

MMBench-Live:一个持续演变的多模态模型基准测试
Liu, Yuanzhi, Zhao, Shousheng, Zhou, Bo, Liang, Kongming, Ma, Zhanyu
Abstract
Evaluation benchmarks are essential for assessing vision-language models (VLMs), but most multimodal benchmarks are static, making them vulnerable to temporal staleness, data contamination, and costly maintenance. We present MMBench-Live, a continuously evolving multimodal benchmark built by a multi-agent-driven automated pipeline. Our framework treats benchmark evolution as task-guided dataset construction, integrating structured benchmark specification, feedback-controlled real-time data acquisition, and verifiable QA generation with executable reasoning. To maintain cross-version comparability, we introduce a distribution-consistent update strategy that extracts task-related visual patterns from the original benchmark to guide data collection and filtering. Instantiated from MMBench, MMBench-Live contains 5.9K newly generated evaluation instances with a high answer correctness rate, while each update costs about USD 30 and takes 1-2 hours. Extensive evaluations show that MMBench-Live preserves stable model rankings, maintains semantic alignment with the original benchmark, and exhibits weaker contamination-related memorization signals, suggesting a practical and scalable paradigm for sustainable multimodal benchmark evolution. The project is available at https://github.com/PRIS-CV/MMBench-Live.

Rethinking Conditional Generation for Underwater Salient Object Detection

重新思考水下显著性物体检测的条件生成
Li, Hua, Weng, Yongjie, Li, Yutong, Li, Zhiyuan, Cong, Runmin, Kwong, Sam
Abstract
Salient Object Detection in underwater images remains challenging due to low contrast, uneven illumination, and color distortion caused by scattering and absorption effects, which limit the effectiveness of conventional SOD methods in underwater environments. To address these challenges, we propose a Degradation-aware Conditional Generation Network (DCGNet), specifically designed to construct reliable conditional features for underwater saliency generation. First, we design a Dynamic Multi-Granularity module (DMG) grounded in the human visual system to robustly detect salient objects of varying scales with blurred boundaries. Then, we develop an Underwater Physics-Prior module (UPP), which utilizes pseudo-depth guidance to estimate underwater light attenuation and backscatter, thereby restoring degradation-aware RGB features and mitigating color distortion and boundary ambiguity. Based on the physics-guided representation, we introduce an Underwater Spatial Gaussian module (USG), which constructs a spatial Gaussian saliency prior from the strongest guided response to enhance object-centered salient regions and suppress cluttered underwater backgrounds. In addition, a lightweight timestep-adaptive Diffusion Transformer (DiT) bottleneck is inserted into the denoising decoder to refine fused features at different diffusion timesteps. Comprehensive experiments on USOD10K, USOD, CSOD10K, MAS3K, and RMAS demonstrate that DCGNet significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, verifying its potential for complex underwater visual applications.

C2E: Boosting Ego-Only 3D Object Detection via Multi-Teacher Contrastive Knowledge Distillation

C2E:通过多教师对比知识蒸馏提升自我感知的3D目标检测
Wang, Jinlong, Huang, Xun, Xia, Qiming, Zhao, Shijia, Wen, Chenglu
Abstract
LiDAR-based 3D object detection is essential for autonomous driving systems. However, traditional Ego-only Perception (Eo-Perception) suffers from limited perspective and occlusions in a complex outdoor environment, leading to performance bottlenecks. Recently, research on multi-agent Collaborative Perception (Co-Perception) has demonstrated excellent performance, but high communication costs and accumulated pose error hinder its application. To address this, we explore a novel C2E (Co-Perception to Eo-Perception) paradigm through the Multi-to-Single (M2S) agent contrastive knowledge distillation framework. Our M2S framework first designs Multi-Level Feature Enhancement module to provide more stable features, and introduces Auxiliary Point Cloud Reconstruction and Multi-Teacher Contrastive Distillation mechanisms to mitigate domain gaps in point cloud and feature distributions within the C2E paradigm. Benefiting from this, our M2S can retain the excellent performance of collaborative perception while effectively avoiding the drawbacks, such as communication delays and positioning errors. Extensive experiments on the V2XSet, V2V4Real and DAIR-V2X datasets show the effectiveness and generalizability of our M2S framework when combined with the state-of-the-art CoSDH model and other excellent 3D detectors. Our M2S framework can deliver up to a 8.64% improvement in 3D mAP performance without introducing any communication costs.

Geometric Foundation Model Distillation for Efficient Lunar 3D Reconstruction

高效月球三维重建的几何基础模型蒸馏
Grethen, Clémentine, Chouteau, Florient, Morin, Géraldine, Gasparini, Simone
Abstract
Large 3D foundation models such as MASt3R achieve state-of-the-art stereo reconstruction but are computationally demanding for deployment under strict hardware constraints -- a critical limitation in domains such as planetary exploration, where onboard computing is severely restricted. We study how far such models can be compressed through knowledge distillation, using lunar stereo reconstruction as a challenging and practically relevant case study. Starting from a 688M-parameter MASt3R teacher fine-tuned on lunar imagery, we distill its dense geometric predictions into a family of lightweight students spanning different encoder types (CNN vs ViT), decoder widths and depths, and training strategies. To bridge the dimensional mismatch between teacher and student, we propose a structured SVD-based initialization that projects the teacher's decoder weights into the student's smaller latent space, yielding a warm start that significantly improves convergence and final performance. Based on our results on lunar data, we can obtain a distilled student that retains most of teacher's reconstruction accuracy while reducing the model size up to 7 times, and even outperforms a baseline trained directly with sparse ground-truth annotations. Beyond compression, our study highlights both principles and practical insights for distilling geometric foundation models: a convolutional encoder underperforms transformer-based alternatives (though pretraining availability remains a confounding factor), preserving encoder capacity is more critical than maintaining a large decoder, feature-level distillation consistently outperforms output-only supervision, and SVD-based initialization improves optimisation stability. These findings provide practical guidelines for deploying 3D reconstruction models in resource-constrained environments.

QWERTY: Training-Free Motion Control via Query-Warped Video Diffusion Transformers

QWERTY:通过查询扭曲视频扩散变换器实现无训练运动控制
Choo, Kyobin, Kim, Youngmin, Han, Hyunkyung, Park, Geunrip, Kim, Chanyoung, Jung, Sunyoung, Hwang, Seong Jae
Abstract
Video diffusion transformers (DiTs) generate high-fidelity and temporally coherent videos, yet motion control remains implicit, primarily relying on text prompts. As a result, achieving desired motion often requires extensive prompt engineering and repeated resampling. While fine-tuning models with additional spatial prompts (e.g., bounding boxes or point trajectories) enables explicit control, it demands substantial data curation and computation, and may compromise the generative capabilities of pretrained models. Consequently, training-free motion control using such spatial prompts has been explored in U-Net-based video diffusion models, but remains largely unexplored for DiTs. We introduce QWERTY, a training-free framework that enables flexible motion control in pretrained image-to-video DiTs via user-defined object warping and optical flow. We carefully manipulate the 3D full attention of DiTs by warping the frame-invariant semantic subspace of queries. We find that the noise predicted by the query-warped DiT naturally guides the diffusion trajectory toward the desired motion, and further show that leveraging this noise as self-guidance for latent optimization improves control stability and visual quality. Experiments show that QWERTY achieves the most effective motion control among existing training-free approaches on a recent image-to-video DiT, with performance comparable to fine-tuning-based methods.

视频扩散变换器(DiTs)生成高保真且时间一致的视频,但运动控制仍然是隐式的,主要依赖文本提示。因此,实现期望的运动通常需要大量的提示工程和重复重采样。虽然通过额外的空间提示(例如,边界框或点轨迹)微调模型可以实现显式控制,但这需要大量的数据整理和计算,并可能损害预训练模型的生成能力。因此,使用这些空间提示进行无训练运动控制在基于U-Net的视频扩散模型中得到了探索,但在DiTs中仍然基本未被研究。我们提出了QWERTY,这是一种无训练框架,通过用户定义的物体扭曲和光流,在预训练的图像到视频DiTs中实现灵活的运动控制。我们通过扭曲查询的帧不变语义子空间,仔细操控DiTs的3D全注意力。我们发现,查询扭曲的DiT预测的噪声自然引导扩散轨迹朝向期望的运动,并进一步表明,利用这种噪声作为潜在优化的自我引导可以提高控制的稳定性和视觉质量。实验表明,QWERTY在最近的图像到视频DiT上实现了现有无训练方法中最有效的运动控制,其性能可与基于微调的方法相媲美。

Abstract
Current road safety systems primarily focus on minimizing post-collision damage. However, advances in algorithmic perception are shifting focus toward early collision prediction, especially in lowvisibility conditions like nighttime or fog, where thermal infrared sensing outperforms both human vision and RGB imaging. While available RGB-infrared datasets such as FLIR ADAS and LLVIP are good benchmarks, they mostly consist of clear weather and overly simple scenarios. In this article, we introduce the LYNRED-MDS: Multimodal Detection Subset, a subset of the LYNRED Mobility Dataset, comprised of 4000 RGB-infrared image pairs captured under diverse weather, lighting, and road conditions around Grenoble, France. Our dataset spans varied driving contexts (urban, rural, mountainous, etc.) and a vehicle fleet compliant with Western European standards. Thermal cross-dataset evaluation using a YOLOv8n baseline suggests that our dataset offers strong generalization potential for pedestrian detection in driving scenarios. By covering critical edge cases, our dataset supports the development of more reliable and deployable vision systems for advanced driver-assistance systems.

SAB-LVLM: Significance-Aware Binarization for Large Vision-Language Models

SAB-LVLM:面向大型视觉语言模型的显著性感知二值化
Lyu, Qi, Dong, Jiahua, Liu, Baichen, Wang, Xudong, Han, Mingfei, Zhang, Yulun, Khan, Fahad Shahbaz, Khan, Salman, Liu, Lianqing, Han, Zhi
Abstract
Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in multimodal understanding, yet their enormous parameter scale and cross-modal computation incur substantial memory and latency overhead, severely limiting real-world deployment on resource-constrained devices. Binarization offers an attractive solution by drastically reducing storage and computational costs. However, existing binarization methods neglect the varying importance of weights across different layers and modalities. This causes parameters irrelevant to downstream tasks to be unnecessarily retained, whereas modality-critical weights may not be adequately optimized, resulting in significant performance degradation. To address these challenges, we develop a novel \underline{S}ignificance-\underline{A}ware \underline{B}inarization for \underline{L}arge \underline{V}ision-\underline{L}anguage \underline{M}odels (SAB-LVLM). Specifically, after constructing Hessian matrices for textual and visual inputs, we propose a spatial significance map to distinguish full-precision weights activated under a single modality from those activated across modalities. We then devise a modality-guided integration strategy to obtain the significance-aware binarization map, which measures weight significance across layers and modalities. Subsequently, this binarization map is incorporated into the binarization objective as an error reweighting term, and binarization fitting is performed through an alternating significance-weighted update scheme. Extensive experiments illustrate the superiority of our SAB-LVLM over existing binary PTQ methods under an approximately 1-bit compression constraint.

Diversity-aware View Partitioning for Scalable VGGT

关注多样性的视图划分以实现可扩展的VGGT
Park, Jinsoo, Choi, Donggyu, Seo, Ahyun, cho, Minsu, Son, Jeany
Abstract
Geometry transformers such as VGGT achieve strong performance by jointly reasoning over multiple views with global attention. However, scaling them to large view collections remains challenging due to the quadratic cost of attention. Moreover, our empirical analysis reveals that the reconstruction quality in VGGT is sensitive to the distribution of viewpoints. Simply increasing the number of views without sufficient viewpoint diversity can even degrade performance, as redundant views introduce highly similar tokens that dilute informative geometric signals in the attention mechanism. Motivated by this observation, we propose a training-free and plug-and-play VGGT inference framework that organizes views into diversity-aware balanced chunks. The chunks are constructed through combinatorial graph partitioning over visual dissimilarity and spatial dispersion. This view organization allows the transformer to focus attention on geometrically informative views while reducing redundant attention interactions. To estimate spatial dispersion without full pose estimation, we approximate spatial relationships via a soft pose propagation strategy based on visual similarity from a small set of seed frames. Extensive experiments demonstrate improved performance in camera pose estimation, multi-view depth prediction, and 3D reconstruction while reducing memory usage and inference latency. Our framework also complements existing VGGT variants, enabling scalable multi-view reconstruction without sacrificing geometric fidelity.

几何变换器如VGGT通过全局注意力对多个视图进行联合推理,从而实现强大的性能。然而,由于注意力的二次成本,将其扩展到大型视图集合仍然具有挑战性。此外,我们的实证分析揭示了VGGT中的重建质量对视点分布的敏感性。仅仅增加视图数量而没有足够的视点多样性甚至可能会降低性能,因为冗余视图引入高度相似的标记,从而稀释了注意力机制中的信息几何信号。基于这一观察,我们提出了一种无训练且即插即用的VGGT推理框架,该框架将视图组织成关注多样性的平衡块。这些块通过对视觉差异和空间分散进行组合图划分构建而成。这种视图组织使变换器能够将注意力集中在几何信息丰富的视图上,同时减少冗余的注意力交互。为了在不进行完整姿态估计的情况下估计空间分散,我们通过基于少量种子帧的视觉相似性,采用软姿态传播策略来近似空间关系。大量实验表明,在相机姿态估计、多视图深度预测和3D重建方面性能有所提升,同时减少了内存使用和推理延迟。我们的框架还补充了现有的VGGT变体,实现了可扩展的多视图重建,而不牺牲几何保真度。

FoundDP: Revisiting Weak Disparity Observability in Dual-Pixel Depth Estimation

FoundDP:重新审视双像素深度估计中的弱视差可观测性
He, Fengchen, Xu, Hao, Zhao, Dayang, Quan, Tingwei, Zeng, Shaoqun
Abstract
Dual-pixel (DP) imaging enables metric depth estimation from a single camera using sub-aperture disparity. However, the extremely small effective baseline limits disparity observability, leading to structural degradation and depth failure in textureless, low-contrast, or downsampled regions. Existing DP-based methods rely primarily on local disparity cues and therefore become unreliable when disparity signals are weak or ambiguous. To address this limitation, we propose \emph{FoundDP}, a unified framework that integrates metric DP depth with global structural priors from a monocular depth foundation model. Our method preserves metric scale through DP-derived depth and leverages Vision Transformer (ViT) features to restore structural consistency in weak-disparity regions. To ensure reliable metric guidance under DP imaging conditions, we identify and mitigate ViT representation degradation induced by DP defocus blur via ViT feature alignment, enabling stable metric-guided depth estimation. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world DP benchmarks show that FoundDP delivers superior performance, with consistent gains in structural fidelity and metric accuracy, especially under reduced disparity observability. Code will be available at: https://github.com/EchoLighting/FoundDP

Rethinking Post-Hoc Calibration in Semantic Segmentation

重新思考语义分割中的事后校准
Kirscher, Tristan, Kahl, Kim-Celine, Kovacs, Balint, Rokuss, Maximilian R., Maier-Hein, Klaus, Coubez, Xavier, Meyer, Philippe, Faisan, Sylvain
Abstract
Reliable confidence estimates are essential in semantic segmentation, especially in safety-critical settings where overconfident errors can mislead downstream decisions. Yet modern segmentation models often remain miscalibrated. Post-hoc calibration offers a practical way to correct confidence estimates without retraining the segmentation model, but its use in dense prediction raises structural issues that are often overlooked. We study two such issues. First, adding a constant to all logits leaves the softmax probabilities unchanged, but several standard calibrators can still depend on this arbitrary offset. As a result, two logit representations encoding the same predictive distribution may yield different calibrated probabilities. We define translation-invariant (TI) calibrators as those whose outputs are unchanged under such shifts, characterize which common calibrators satisfy this property, and construct TI counterparts of shift-sensitive calibrators to isolate the effect of removing representation dependence. Second, post-hoc calibration is typically fitted by minimizing a likelihood-based objective, whereas segmentation models are trained with task-specific metrics such as Dice. This mismatch can cause calibration to alter class orderings and degrade the deployed segmentation map. We study decision-preserving calibration under argmax- and order-preservation constraints. Since enforcing these constraints collapses affine softmax calibrators to temperature scaling, we introduce class-conditional affine calibrators that can be made argmax- or order-preserving while retaining greater expressivity, allowing us to quantify the calibration-segmentation trade-off induced by decision preservation. Across natural-image and medical segmentation benchmarks, and under corruption-based covariate shift, matched comparisons show that TI variants generally improve calibration metrics, while decision-preserving variants prevent segmentation degradation and retain strong calibration performance. These results provide practical design principles for well-defined post-hoc calibration pipelines in semantic segmentation.

可靠的置信度估计在语义分割中至关重要,尤其是在安全关键的环境中,过于自信的错误可能会误导后续决策。然而,现代分割模型往往仍然存在校准不准确的问题。事后校准提供了一种在不重新训练分割模型的情况下纠正置信度估计的实用方法,但其在密集预测中的应用引发了一些常被忽视的结构性问题。我们研究了两个此类问题。首先,向所有 logits 添加一个常数不会改变 softmax 概率,但一些标准校准器仍可能依赖于这个任意偏移。因此,编码相同预测分布的两个 logit 表示可能会产生不同的校准概率。我们将平移不变(translation-invariant, TI)校准器定义为在此类偏移下输出不变的校准器,描述哪些常见校准器满足这一特性,并构建 TI 版本的对偏移敏感的校准器,以隔离去除表示依赖性的影响。其次,事后校准通常通过最小化基于似然的目标来拟合,而分割模型则是通过特定任务的度量(如 Dice)进行训练。这种不匹配可能导致校准改变类别排序,并降低部署的分割图的质量。我们在 argmax 和排序保持约束下研究决策保持校准。由于强制这些约束使得仿射 softmax 校准器退化为温度缩放,我们引入了类别条件仿射校准器,这些校准器可以在保持更高表达能力的同时实现 argmax 或排序保持,从而使我们能够量化由于决策保持引起的校准与分割之间的权衡。在自然图像和医学分割基准测试中,以及在基于腐败的协变量转移下,匹配比较显示 TI 变体通常改善校准指标,而决策保持变体则防止分割退化并保持强大的校准性能。这些结果为语义分割中明确的事后校准管道提供了实用的设计原则。

SFKD: Spatial--Frequency Joint-Aware Heterogeneous Knowledge Distillation via Multi-Level Wavelet Spectral Interaction

SFKD:基于多级小波谱交互的空间-频率联合感知异构知识蒸馏
Wang, Cuipeng, Wang, Haipeng
Abstract
Most existing knowledge distillation methods focus on homogeneous models (e.g., CNN-to-CNN), thereby overlooking the flexibility and potential of knowledge transfer across heterogeneous models. Due to intrinsic inductive bias discrepancies between heterogeneous models that cause spatial distribution inconsistencies, prior heterogeneous distillation methods often weaken or discard spatial information in heterogeneous representations. However, the spatial information in representations often encodes transferable global structural semantics as well as architecture-specific local details, and therefore should not be directly ignored. To better leverage the spatial information encoded in heterogeneous representations, we propose a Spatial-Frequency Joint-Aware Heterogeneous Knowledge Distillation framework (SFKD). By leveraging the complementary properties of wavelet transform spatial locality and Fourier representations in characterizing global energy distributions, we first apply multi-level discrete wavelet transform to explicitly decouple spatial information. The resulting wavelet sub-bands are further refined by a dual-stream dual-stage refinement module, and finally combined with a Gaussian-filtered frequency loss to selectively capture informative global information. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmark datasets under both homogeneous and heterogeneous models demonstrate the superiority of our method.

大多数现有的知识蒸馏方法集中于同构模型(例如,CNN到CNN),因此忽视了跨异构模型知识转移的灵活性和潜力。由于异构模型之间固有的归纳偏差差异导致空间分布不一致,先前的异构蒸馏方法通常削弱或丢弃异构表示中的空间信息。然而,表示中的空间信息通常编码了可转移的全局结构语义以及特定于架构的局部细节,因此不应被直接忽视。为了更好地利用异构表示中编码的空间信息,我们提出了一种空间-频率联合感知异构知识蒸馏框架(SFKD)。通过利用小波变换的空间局部性和傅里叶表示在表征全局能量分布中的互补特性,我们首先应用多级离散小波变换来明确解耦空间信息。得到的小波子带通过双流双阶段精炼模块进一步优化,最终与高斯滤波的频率损失结合,以选择性地捕获信息丰富的全局信息。在多个基准数据集上进行的广泛实验表明,我们的方法在同构和异构模型下均表现出优越性。

Towards Real-World Ultrasound Understanding: Large Vision-Language Models from Multi-Image Examinations with Long-Form Reports

迈向现实世界的超声理解:来自多图像检查与长格式报告的大型视觉语言模型
Yan, Bingcong, Li, Chunlei, Hu, Jingliang, Shi, Yilei, Zhu, Xiao Xiang, Mou, Lichao
Abstract
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have achieved strong performance across many medical imaging tasks, yet their application to ultrasound remains limited due to its inherent complexity and variability. In this work, we revisit what is truly needed to enable real-world ultrasound understanding. Instead of introducing complex architectures or elaborate training strategies, we show that data scale and clinically faithful data alignment are the key factors. We construct a large-scale dataset of 1.5M real-world ultrasound examinations, containing 17.7M images, multi-organ coverage, and paired uncurated clinical reports. Crucially, we organize the data at the examination level, aligning multiple images with their corresponding reports to reflect real clinical workflows. We then fine-tune a standard LVLM using low-rank adaptation (LoRA) on this dataset without task-specific modifications. Surprisingly, this simple recipe already leads to strong performance across diverse ultrasound understanding tasks, outperforming prior methods designed with more complex pipelines.

大型视觉语言模型(LVLMs)在许多医学影像任务中取得了强劲的表现,但由于超声的固有复杂性和变异性,其应用仍然有限。在本研究中,我们重新审视了实现现实世界超声理解所需的真正条件。我们并没有引入复杂的架构或精细的训练策略,而是展示了数据规模和临床真实数据对齐是关键因素。我们构建了一个大规模数据集,包含150万例真实世界超声检查,涵盖1770万张图像、多脏器覆盖以及配对的未经整理的临床报告。至关重要的是,我们在检查级别组织数据,将多张图像与其对应的报告对齐,以反映真实的临床工作流程。然后,我们在该数据集上使用低秩适应(LoRA)对标准LVLM进行微调,而无需特定任务的修改。令人惊讶的是,这一简单的方法在多样的超声理解任务中已经表现出强劲的性能,超越了以更复杂流程设计的先前方法。除了这些结果,我们还展示了模型和数据规模分析,为超声LVLM中规模的作用提供了见解。

Robust Image Processing Techniques for Construction Environment Monitoring Using Underwater Robots

基于水下机器人建设环境监测的稳健图像处理技术
Yun, Seunghee, Yang, Geonmo, Lee, Juhui, Park, Changbeom, Choi, Jeahyung, Cho, Younggun
Abstract
This paper proposes a robust image processing framework for underwater robot-based construction environment monitoring, targeting complex degradations observed in real marine environments. Unlike conventional approaches that mainly consider absorption and backscattering, real underwater imagery is strongly affected by depth-dependent forward scattering blur and particle-induced degradations such as marine snow. To address this, we introduce a staged processing pipeline that sequentially models background degradation via depth-aware forward scattering and foreground degradation using realistic marine snow patterns extracted from real images. The resulting synthetic data are used to retrain an existing Joint-ID network without modifying its architecture, enabling an isolated evaluation of dataset realism. In addition, a lightweight post-processing scheme is applied to enhance contrast and structural clarity. Experiments on real underwater datasets collected in Korean coastal environments demonstrate consistent improvements in visual quality and UIQM scores. The results indicate that explicitly modeling forward scattering and realistic particle effects effectively reduces the synthetic-to-real gap and improves practical applicability in real-world underwater robotic operations.

Sparse-Aware Vector Quantization for Bandwidth-Efficient Collaborative 3D Semantic Occupancy Prediction

面向带宽效率的协作3D语义占用预测的稀疏感知向量量化
Li, Feng, Zhang, Chaokun, Chen, Gong
Abstract
Collaborative perception extends single-agent perception by enabling multiple vehicles to exchange complementary perceptual information. However, it introduces an inherent trade-off between perception gain and communication overhead, which is particularly severe for 3D semantic occupancy prediction that relies on fine-grained spatial structures. Existing methods typically compress 3D features into 2D, causing severe spatial information loss, or transmit dense 3D representations, hindering real-world deployment. To overcome these limitations, we propose a bandwidth-efficient collaborative Vector Quantization Semantic Occupancy Prediction (VQSOP) framework. VQSOP employs a Sparse-Aware Vector Quantization (SAVQ) mechanism that exploits 3D scene sparsity to compactly encode informative regions, drastically reducing communication overhead while preserving complete geometric context. Furthermore, to enhance structural consistency and feature continuity, we design a Dual-Branch Adaptive Spatial Refinement (ASR) module that dynamically fuses local high-frequency details with broad contextual semantics. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance while reducing communication volume by up to 82x.

协作感知通过使多个车辆能够交换互补的感知信息,扩展了单一代理的感知能力。然而,这引入了感知增益与通信开销之间的固有权衡,这在依赖于细粒度空间结构的3D语义占用预测中尤为严重。现有方法通常将3D特征压缩为2D,导致严重的空间信息损失,或者传输密集的3D表示,妨碍了在实际环境中的应用。为克服这些限制,我们提出了一种带宽高效的协作向量量化语义占用预测(VQSOP)框架。VQSOP采用了一种稀疏感知向量量化(SAVQ)机制,利用3D场景的稀疏性紧凑编码信息丰富的区域,显著降低通信开销,同时保留完整的几何上下文。此外,为了增强结构一致性和特征连续性,我们设计了一个双分支自适应空间细化(ASR)模块,动态融合局部高频细节与广泛的上下文语义。大量实验表明,我们的方法在实现最先进性能的同时,通信量减少了多达82倍。

LiZAD: A Lightweight Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection Framework for Industrial Manufacturing

LiZAD:一种轻量级零样本异常检测框架用于工业制造
Khan, Uzair, Capogrosso, Luigi, Aqeel, Muhammad, Setti, Francesco, Magno, Michele, Cristani, Marco
Abstract
In modern high-throughput industrial production lines, product configurations and visual characteristics frequently change, making it impractical to collect and annotate data for every new scenario. This dynamic setting makes Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection (ZSAD) particularly suitable, as it enables defect detection without requiring training on target-specific samples. Although recent ZSAD approaches show promising results, they are computationally intensive and thus unsuitable for deployment on resource-constrained devices. We propose LiZAD: a lightweight framework designed for real-time ZSAD specifically tailored for use on edge devices. The proposed approach pairs the dense and spatially aware visual features of DINOv3, crucial for precise pixel-level localization, with the highly computationally efficient text embeddings of MobileCLIP2. These features are then mapped into a shared latent space via low-memory trainable projection heads. Compared to six state-of-the-art ZSAD models, LiZAD achieves an average memory reduction of 61.5%, a parameter reduction of 74.6%, and a speedup of 3.02x in terms of latency. Despite substantial reductions in computational and memory costs, our approach maintains competitive anomaly detection performance, dropping the average P-AUROC by just 6.4% relative to the best state-of-the-art model across the VisA, BTAD, MPDD, and MVTec-AD datasets. Finally, it is successfully deployed on the NVIDIA Jetson NX and Jetson AGX edge devices and tested on the real production line of the Industrial Computer Engineering Laboratory (ICE Lab) at the University of Verona. The code is available at https://github.com/intelligolabs/LiZAD.

Personalized 4D Whole-Heart Mesh Reconstruction from Cine MRI via Multi-Scale Temporal Modeling and Differentiable Contour Rendering

基于多尺度时间建模和可微轮廓渲染的个性化4D全心脏网格重建
Liu, Xiaoyue, Cang, Dongcheng, Yuan, Xiaohan, Chan, Mark YY, Sia, Ching-Hui, Li, Lei
Abstract
Accurate 4D whole-heart mesh reconstruction from sparse cine MRI is critical for creating cardiac digital twins, but remains challenging due to limited 2D slice coverage and the complex coupling between cardiac shape and motion. Existing methods often rely on intermediate contour fitting and typically reconstruct static, single-phase, or partial cardiac geometries, limiting their ability to capture full-chamber dynamics. We propose a novel end-to-end framework for reconstructing temporally resolved whole-heart meshes from multi-view 2D cine MRI sequences by learning an image-to-mesh mapping. The framework incorporates a differentiable contour renderer inspired by the Beer-Lambert attenuation principle, enabling anatomy-aware supervision of 3D+t mesh deformation through contour-based projection losses. To improve temporal consistency across the cardiac cycle, we further introduce a multi-scale temporal modeling module that integrates global cycle-level dynamics with local inter-frame coherence to generate smooth and physiologically plausible mesh trajectories. The proposed method achieved a whole-heart mean absolute error of 1.68 $\pm$ 0.31 mm and a motion jitter of 0.77 $\pm$ 0.17 $\mathrm{mm}/\mathrm{frame}^{3}$, outperforming existing methods with lower reconstruction error and substantially improved motion smoothness. It also improved 2D contour alignment across multiple cine MRI views and supported downstream proof-of-concept electrophysiological simulation. The code will be released publicly upon acceptance of the manuscript for publication.

NeoMap: Training-free Novel-View Synthesis from Single Images and Videos

NeoMap:无训练的新视角合成方法,基于单幅图像和视频
Li, Jinxi, Zhang, Tianyi, Yang, Yafei, Zhang, Zihui, Huang, Peng, Lin, Koon Wing Macgyver, Yang, Bo
Abstract
We study the challenging problem of novel view video synthesis from single images or monocular videos. Existing methods, which operate under the assumption that pre-trained video models lack native novel view synthesis capability and enforce view alignment via camera conditioning, task-specific fine-tuning, or stepwise hard denoising guidance, often suffer from artifacts and compromised global scene consistency. In this paper, we introduce NeoMap, a novel training-free framework designed to locate high-fidelity, view-consistent novel view solutions from general pre-trained video models. The key to our approach is the core insight that promising novel view solutions are inherently encoded within the natural video data manifold learned by pre-trained models, and the core challenge is simply to locate this optimal solution. We solve this via our core mechanism: convergent manifold alternating projection iterations that optimize the initial noise. Extensive experiments demonstrate that NeoMap significantly outperforms all existing methods across 3 standard novel view synthesis benchmarks, including the challenging Tanks-and-Temples, LLFF and DAVIS datasets, achieving state-of-the-art generation fidelity and top-tier view consistency.

Assessing VLM Reliability for Medical Image Quality Evaluation Under Corruption and Bias

评估视觉语言模型在腐败和偏见下的医学图像质量评估可靠性
Ouaari, Sofiane, Vorwalder, Kevin, Pfeifer, Nico
Abstract
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are increasingly applied in medical tasks such as pathology description, report generation, and visual question answering. Medical Image Quality Assessment (MIQA) supports diagnostic accuracy and patient safety by determining whether images meet the standards required for clinical decision-making. Automating MIQA with VLMs may reduce workload, but their behavior under real-world conditions, where images may be degraded or textual context may affect judgments, should be further explored before deployment. We benchmark VLMs on medical image quality using the MediMeta-C dataset zero-shot across seven corruption types and five severity levels. We evaluate sensitivity to degradation patterns, the effect of corruptions on embedding geometry, and whether textual attributes (demographics, expertise, infrastructure, institution) alter scores. Across 16 VLMs and seven modalities, pixelation produced the largest score reductions (mean -20.58%, up to -34.4% for OCT), whereas brightness had limited effect (-0.81%). Embedding displacement was associated with score changes. Same-family models showed correlations of 0.67-0.83; some produced increases up to +31% for corrupted mammography. Textual attributes affected scores: institutional prestige raised them +17.15%, and equipment age lowered them -14.7%. The largest changes were +95.62% (InternVL-8B) and -37.7% (MedGemma). Current VLMs show limitations for medical image quality assessment. Pixelation, a privacy-preserving transformation, reduces performance, indicating a trade-off between patient privacy and reliability. Sensitivity to contextual metadata indicates limited objectivity and marks metadata as a privacy and bias source. Privacy protection and objective quality assessment are related requirements for use.

MolSight: A Graph-Aware Vision-Language Model for Unified Chemical Image Understanding

MolSight:一种图感知的视觉-语言模型用于统一化学图像理解

Abstract
Using molecular large language models (LLMs) as a unified framework for understanding molecular structures and functions is emerging as a new trend in tasks such as molecular design and drug discovery. However, these models struggle to fully capture the visual representation of molecular structures, limiting their potential. While existing molecular vision-language models (VLMs) show promise, they still face challenges in structural alignment and lack the necessary topological modeling for accurate molecular understanding. To address this, we propose MolSight, a graph-aware vision-language model framework designed to enhance the understanding of molecular images by VLMs. MolSight integrates a Molecular Topology Module to inject chemical-bond adjacency information into vision tokens, and a Molecular Grounding Module to align visual features with chemical symbolic semantics. Our experiments demonstrate that MolSight significantly outperforms existing VLMs, molecular LLMs, and specialized tools across multiple chemical visual understanding tasks, achieving a new level of molecular image reasoning.

Open-Weather Robust 3D Detection via Dual-Critic Diffusion Alignment

基于双评论家扩散对齐的开放天气鲁棒3D检测
Li, Shuyao, Geng, Chuanxing, Sun, Heyang, Zhou, Qiang, Gu, Jingjing
Abstract
Robust 3D object detection under adverse weather remains a critical hurdle for autonomous driving. Despite progress with LiDAR-4D radar fusion, most methods are constrained by a closed-world assumption, implicitly requiring training and test weather to align in both type and severity. This premise fails in practice: the open-ended nature of weather, and even variations within a single type like rain, cause dramatically different LiDAR degradation patterns, leading to significant performance drops in unseen conditions. To address this, we present Dual-Critic Guided Diffusion Alignment (DCDA), a weather-agnostic framework that learns to recover degraded LiDAR features toward a clean manifold. Rather than modeling specific weather types, DCDA employs a 4D radar-conditioned diffusion process to progressively refine features, guided by two complementary critics. (i) A detection-guided critic, anchored by a pre-trained clean-weather model, ensures that the refined features retain object-level discriminability and localization accuracy. (ii) A weather adversarial critic enforces holistic distributional consistency with clean-weather representations. By aligning features through semantic and distributional constraints rather than explicit weather modeling, DCDA generalizes effectively to unseen weather types and severities without requiring paired data or weather labels. We further introduce a structured open-weather benchmark with held-out type-severity combinations and extensive experiments verify DCDA's advantages.

在恶劣天气条件下进行鲁棒的3D物体检测仍然是自动驾驶面临的一个关键难题。尽管在LiDAR-4D雷达融合方面取得了一定进展,但大多数方法受到封闭世界假设的限制,隐含要求训练和测试的天气在类型和严重性上保持一致。这一前提在实践中并不成立:天气的开放性特征,甚至同一类型天气(如降雨)内部的变化,导致LiDAR退化模式显著不同,从而在未见条件下造成性能大幅下降。为了解决这一问题,我们提出了双评论家引导的扩散对齐(Dual-Critic Guided Diffusion Alignment, DCDA),这是一个与天气无关的框架,旨在学习恢复退化的LiDAR特征,使其趋向于干净的流形。DCDA并不针对特定的天气类型,而是采用4D雷达条件下的扩散过程,逐步细化特征,并由两个互补的评论家引导。 (i) 一个基于检测的评论家,依托于预训练的干净天气模型,确保细化后的特征保持物体级别的可区分性和定位准确性。 (ii) 一个天气对抗评论家则强制执行与干净天气表征的整体分布一致性。通过语义和分布约束而非显式的天气建模来对齐特征,DCDA能够有效地推广到未见的天气类型和严重性,而无需配对数据或天气标签。我们进一步引入了一个结构化的开放天气基准,包含保留的类型-严重性组合,并通过大量实验验证了DCDA的优势。

Understanding Geometric Representations in Self-Supervised Vision Transformers via Subspace Intervention

通过子空间干预理解自监督视觉变换器中的几何表示
Zhou, Weichen, Zou, Yawen, Gu, Chunzhi, Dong, Ran, Xie, Haoran, Zhang, Chao
Abstract
We introduce a controlled subspace intervention framework to investigate how self-supervised Vision Transformers (ViTs) encode dense geometric information. While linear probing is widely used to assess geometric representations, it treats features as a black box, failing to disentangle the underlying topology. To address this issue, we decompose the weights of converged linear probes to isolate the low-rank subspaces containing explicit geometric signals using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). Our perspective yields three key insights: (1) Pre-training objectives determine how features are encoded. DINOv2 aligns spatial features for efficient linear extraction, while Masked Autoencoders (MAE) tend to disperse these signals, requiring a broader spatial context. (2) Explicit geometric representations are highly compressible, suggesting dense predictive heads could potentially be constrained to low-rank subspaces with minimal performance loss. (3) The layer-wise task affinity suggests that geometric precision peaks at intermediate layers before yielding to semantic abstraction in the final layers. By connecting internal encoding mechanics with downstream performance, these findings provide a basis for effective feature selection and lightweight decoder design. The source code is available at https://github.com/Zhou-Weichen/Geosubprobe.

我们引入了一个受控的子空间干预框架,以研究自监督视觉变换器(ViTs)如何编码密集的几何信息。尽管线性探测广泛用于评估几何表示,但它将特征视为黑箱,未能解开其底层拓扑。为了解决这个问题,我们通过奇异值分解(SVD)分解收敛线性探测器的权重,以隔离包含显式几何信号的低秩子空间。我们的视角得出了三个关键见解:(1)预训练目标决定了特征的编码方式。DINOv2 对空间特征进行对齐,以实现高效的线性提取,而掩码自编码器(MAE)则倾向于分散这些信号,需要更广泛的空间上下文。(2)显式几何表示具有高度可压缩性,这表明密集预测头可能被限制在低秩子空间中,且性能损失最小。(3)逐层任务亲和性表明,几何精度在中间层达到峰值,然后在最后层转向语义抽象。通过将内部编码机制与下游性能联系起来,这些发现为有效特征选择和轻量解码器设计提供了基础。源代码可在 https://github.com/Zhou-Weichen/Geosubprobe 获取。

Training-free Controllable Human Motion Generation under Heterogeneous Constraints

无训练可控的人体运动生成在异构约束下
Hui, Xiaofei, Yan, Bo, Qu, Haoxuan, Rahmani, Hossein, Liu, Jun
Abstract
Training-free controllable motion generation has attracted growing interest for enabling flexible constraint enforcement without constraint-specific training. However, existing training-free methods require constraints to be continuous objective-based with differentiable losses, while many real-world requirements are criterion-based and provide only discontinuous, sparse, or even black-box feedback. In this paper, we propose Motion-Inference-as-Control (MIC), the first training-free motion generation framework that handles both continuous objective-based and criterion-based motion constraints under a shared mechanism. The key idea is to cast diffusion-based motion generation as a stochastic control problem. This perspective not only provides principled and practically effective step-wise control laws that support criterion-based constraints without requiring differentiability and naturally accommodate objective-based constraints as a special case, but also motivates a control-oriented constraint coordination mechanism that adaptively balances and reconciles motion constraints during generation. Experiments across diverse constraint settings demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.

Mirror Illusion Art

镜像幻觉艺术
Zhu, Xiaopei, Li, Zeyuan, Zhu, Jun, Hu, Xiaolin
Abstract
Mirror Illusion Art is a novel reflection-conditioned 3D illusion where one object yields two target appearances (front and mirror). The task is formulated as inverse design from two target 2D images (front and mirror) to a printable 3D object with geometry and texture. Prior topology-driven and shadow-based approaches demand substantial manual effort, optimize shape only, and often yield non-smooth or incomplete geometry. To address these challenges, we propose AutoMIA, an automated Mirror Illusion Art design pipeline that jointly optimizes shape and color. To stabilize optimization and suppress artifacts, four mechanisms are introduced: (1) projection-alignment component (PAC) selection to reduce surface noise, (2) position-weighted adaptive (PWA) suppression for background noise, (3) internal voxel preservation (IVP) to prevent internal fractures, and (4) shape-color decoupled (SCD) optimization that balance shape and color optimization. AutoMIA generate diverse smooth Mirror Illusion artworks successfully both in the digital and physical world, with only around 76s design time and 2.6 GB memory on average using a single RTX 3090, advancing inverse graphics and computational design.

Abstract
Globally consistent semantic digital twins require centimeter-accurate and geographically transferable 3D facade segmentation. However, progress in facade parsing is limited by the lack of large-scale, standardized benchmarks for evaluating cross-domain generalization. Existing datasets are geographically narrow, semantically inconsistent, or insufficiently precise. We introduce UnderOneFacade, the largest cross-country and cross-continent 3D facade benchmark to date, comprising centimeter-accurate point clouds with hierarchical, harmonized, and architecturally grounded semantic labels totaling 2.7 billion annotated points. Through a systematic evaluation of representative point-, graph- and transformer-based architectures, we show that current methods struggle to recognize fine-grained architectural elements and degrade significantly across geographic domains, with the best models achieving only up to 33 IoU on the fine-grained LoFG3 benchmark. By combining geometric precision with standardized semantics at unprecedented scale, UnderOneFacade establishes a rigorous benchmark for developing robust and transferable 3D segmentation models. The dataset, evaluation scripts, and pretrained models will be released upon publication.

Spatio-Temporal and Clinical Conditioning for Fine-Grained Radiology Report Retrieval

细粒度放射学报告检索的时空与临床条件化
Sloan, P., Simpson, E., Mirmehdi, M.
Abstract
Radiology is vital to modern healthcare, but rising imaging demand and persistent workforce shortages strain reporting capacity and clinical workflows. Automated radiology report generation has the potential to support radiologists and help alleviate this burden; however, existing retrieval-based methods remain rigid, lack explicit anatomical grounding, and do not account for longitudinal disease progression or available clinical context. In this work, we introduce STAR3, a multimodal, spatio-temporal, attentive retrieval framework for radiology report generation that aligns region-level anatomical information with clinical indications and longitudinal changes across chest X-ray studies. Our framework employs an object detector to identify anatomically meaningful regions and retrieves semantically relevant report sentences conditioned on both current clinical context and changes observed between prior and current examinations. This design enables anatomically and temporally grounded report generation that better reflects clinical reporting practice.

Evaluating Vision-Language Models as a Zero-Shot Learning Alternative to You Only Look Once and Optical Character Recognition for Nigerian License Plate Recognition

评估视觉-语言模型作为零-shot学习替代方案,用于尼日利亚车牌识别的You Only Look Once和光学字符识别
Tijjani, Ismail Ismail, Mustapaha, Ahmad Abubakar, Muhammad, Sunusi Ibrahim, Aliyu, Muhammad Bashir
Abstract
License Plate Recognition (LPR) systems are critical tools in traffic monitoring, security enforcement, and urban mobility management. Traditional LPR systems often rely on a multi-stage pipeline involving object detection using You Only Look Once (YOLO) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which suffer from limitations such as high resource demands, poor performance in unstructured environments, and the need for large annotated datasets. This study explores the potential of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) as a unified, zeroshot learning solution for Nigerian license plate recognition. Using a curated dataset of 88 challenging real-world images collected in Nigeria, we evaluate five selected VLMs: Gemini 2.0 Flash Exp (Google DeepMind), Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct (Alibaba), GPT-4o (OpenAI), Claude 4 Sonnet (Anthropic), and Llama 3.2 Vision 90b (Meta). Results based on Character Error Rate (CER) reveal that Gemini and Qwen significantly outperform other models in both accuracy and robustness, on the challenging image scenarios. This work highlights the practical advantages of VLMs over YOLO+OCR, questions the claims by model providers, and compares the performances of the VLMs.

ComplexMimic: Human-Scene Interaction Imitation in Complex 3D Environments

ComplexMimic:复杂三维环境中的人类-场景交互模仿
Pan, Lu, Zhao, Hongwei
Abstract
Physics-based Human-Scene Interaction (HSI) imitation learning is crucial for embodied intelligence as it bridges the gap between kinematic 3D motions and real-world dynamics. However, most existing methods focus on simplified scene settings, leaving complex environments largely unexplored, which limits their applicability in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we focus on HSI mimicry in complex environments. Under this complex setting, we observe an inherent trade-off between successfully performing interaction and maintaining natural, physically plausible motions. To address this challenge, we propose ComplexMimic, a framework that reconstructs diverse HSI by interpreting imperfect MoCap data. First, we introduce a Dual Flow Strategy, which learns two complementary experts: an imitation expert for accurate motion tracking and an interaction expert for collision-aware adaptation in complex scenes. Second, naive multi-expert distillation, which treats all experts equally, often under-samples challenging behaviors, limiting effective learning. To mitigate this issue, we propose a difficulty-aware distillation strategy that adaptively weights supervision and prioritizes hard-yet-learnable trajectories guided by failure statistics and learning progress signals. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that our approach outperforms current state-of-the-art methods. Our implementation is available at https://github.com/LuPan23/ComplexMimic.

基于物理的人类-场景交互(HSI)模仿学习对于具身智能至关重要,因为它弥合了运动学三维动作与现实世界动态之间的差距。然而,现有的大多数方法集中于简化的场景设置,导致复杂环境在很大程度上未被探索,这限制了它们在现实世界场景中的适用性。本文聚焦于复杂环境中的HSI模仿。在这一复杂设置下,我们观察到成功执行交互与保持自然、物理上合理的动作之间存在固有的权衡。为了解决这一挑战,我们提出了ComplexMimic,一个通过解释不完美的运动捕捉(MoCap)数据来重建多样化HSI的框架。首先,我们引入了一种双流策略(Dual Flow Strategy),该策略学习两个互补的专家:一个用于准确动作跟踪的模仿专家和一个用于在复杂场景中进行碰撞感知适应的交互专家。其次,简单的多专家蒸馏往往将所有专家视为平等,这通常会对具有挑战性的行为进行欠采样,从而限制有效学习。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了一种基于难度的蒸馏策略,该策略自适应地加权监督,并优先考虑由失败统计和学习进度信号引导的难以学习的轨迹。对三个基准数据集的广泛实验表明,我们的方法优于当前的最先进方法。我们的实现可在 https://github.com/LuPan23/ComplexMimic 获取。

Hierarchical Anti-Aesthetics: Protecting Facial Privacy against Customized Diffusion Models

层次反美学:保护面部隐私免受定制扩散模型的侵害
Wang, Songping, Lyu, Yueming, Liu, Shiqi, Zhao, Chen, Chen, Ziyuan, Li, Ning, Dong, Jing, Shan, Caifeng
Abstract
The rise of customized diffusion models has fueled a boom in personalized visual content creation, but it also introduces serious risks of malicious misuse, thereby posing threats to personal privacy. Image aesthetics are strongly correlated with human perception of image quality. Motivated by this observation, we address facial privacy protection from a novel aesthetic perspective by degrading the generation quality of maliciously customized models, thus reducing facial identity leakage. Specifically, we propose a Hierarchical Anti-Aesthetics (HAA) framework that exploits aesthetic cues at multiple perceptual levels. HAA consists of two key branches: (1) Global Anti-Aesthetics, which degrades overall aesthetics and generation quality by constructing a global anti-aesthetic reward mechanism and a corresponding loss; and (2) Local Anti-Aesthetics, which disrupts facial identity by using a local anti-aesthetic reward mechanism and loss to guide adversarial perturbations toward facial regions. By integrating both branches, HAA achieves anti-aesthetic degradation from a global to a local level during customized generation. Extensive experiments show that HAA outperforms existing methods in identity removal, providing an effective tool for protecting facial privacy.

PWM-ArtGen: Part World Model for Articulated Object Generation

PWM-ArtGen:用于关节物体生成的部件世界模型
Zheng, Wentao, Wu, Ancong
Abstract
The key challenge in articulated 3D object generation from a single image is accurately predicting the underlying kinematic structure. Existing methods either infer kinematic parameters directly from a static image that lacks dynamic part-level kinematic relationships, or estimate parameters from visual dynamics generated from a single image, which is prone to accumulated errors of two steps. Moreover, the limited scale and diversity of existing annotated datasets further hinder generalization to complex, real-world objects. To overcome these limitations, we propose to learn the joint distribution of visual dynamics and kinematic parameters. Recognizing that articulated objects can be formulated as dynamic systems, we propose a unified Part World Model called PWM-ArtGen. To leverage unannotated data, this model couples action diffusion and image diffusion with independent diffusion timesteps, which enables visual branch co-training. We further curate a photorealistic dataset of 19.7k part-level image pairs without kinematic annotations, to support co-training. Experiments demonstrate that PWM-ArtGen substantially outperforms existing baselines in the resting state and exhibits strong zero-shot generalization to out-of-distribution objects.

从单幅图像生成关节3D物体的关键挑战在于准确预测潜在的运动学结构。现有方法要么直接从缺乏动态部件级运动学关系的静态图像中推断运动学参数,要么从单幅图像生成的视觉动态中估计参数,这容易导致两个步骤的累积误差。此外,现有标注数据集的规模和多样性有限,进一步阻碍了对复杂现实物体的泛化。为克服这些限制,我们提出学习视觉动态和运动学参数的联合分布。认识到关节物体可以被视为动态系统,我们提出了一种统一的部件世界模型,称为PWM-ArtGen。为了利用未标注数据,该模型将动作扩散和图像扩散与独立的扩散时间步耦合,从而实现视觉分支的共同训练。我们进一步整理了一个包含19.7k个无运动学标注的部件级图像对的照片真实数据集,以支持共同训练。实验表明,PWM-ArtGen在静止状态下显著优于现有基线,并对分布外物体表现出强大的零样本泛化能力。

Embracing Intra-Class Heterogeneity for Semi-Supervised Medical Image Segmentation: From Diversity to Precision

拥抱类内异质性以实现半监督医学图像分割:从多样性到精确性
Liu, Yuqi, Chen, Yufei, Fu, Wei, Yue, Xiaodong, Li, Shuo
Abstract
Due to the scarcity of expert-annotated data, Semi-Supervised Medical Image Segmentation (SSMIS) has emerged as a promising approach. Many anatomical structures in medical images exhibit significant intra-class heterogeneity, with different regions showing heterogeneous intensity patterns within the same structure. However, existing methods inadequately exploit this intensity-manifested intra-class heterogeneity, resulting in uniform structural representations and imprecise segmentation. Furthermore, the scarcity of labeled data makes it more difficult to effectively capture such complex heterogeneity. To address this, we propose Multiple Prototype Contrastive Learning (MPCL), an SSMIS framework that possesses better diversity and better precision. It consists of three novel designs: First, we provide structural representations with better diversity and propose Intensity-aligned Heterogeneous Prototype Generation (IHPG) that effectively models intra-class heterogeneity by generating multiple prototypes aligned with intensity characteristics. Second, we further enhance more diverse structural representations and build a solid foundation for more precise segmentation through Prototypical Space Optimization (PSO) that systematically optimizes a more discriminative and generalizable prototypical space. Finally, we achieve segmentation results with better precision through Dual-branch Knowledge Alignment (DKA) that efficiently promotes intra-class heterogeneity knowledge transfer from prototypical space to the segmentation network. Extensive experiments on three medical image datasets with significant intra-class heterogeneity demonstrate that MPCL significantly outperforms existing methods, especially under extremely limited labeled data.

由于专家标注数据的稀缺,半监督医学图像分割(Semi-Supervised Medical Image Segmentation, SSMIS)已成为一种有前景的方法。医学图像中的许多解剖结构表现出显著的类内异质性,同一结构的不同区域显示出异质的强度模式。然而,现有方法未能充分利用这种强度表现的类内异质性,导致结构表示的统一性和分割的不精确性。此外,标注数据的稀缺使得有效捕捉这种复杂的异质性变得更加困难。为此,我们提出了多原型对比学习(Multiple Prototype Contrastive Learning, MPCL),这是一个具有更好多样性和更高精确度的SSMIS框架。它由三个新颖的设计组成:首先,我们提供了具有更好多样性的结构表示,并提出了强度对齐异质原型生成(Intensity-aligned Heterogeneous Prototype Generation, IHPG),通过生成与强度特征对齐的多个原型,有效建模类内异质性。其次,我们进一步增强了更具多样性的结构表示,并通过原型空间优化(Prototypical Space Optimization, PSO)为更精确的分割奠定了坚实的基础,该方法系统地优化了更具区分性和可推广性的原型空间。最后,我们通过双分支知识对齐(Dual-branch Knowledge Alignment, DKA)实现了更高精度的分割结果,该方法有效促进了原型空间到分割网络的类内异质性知识转移。在三个具有显著类内异质性的医学图像数据集上的大量实验表明,MPCL显著优于现有方法,尤其是在标注数据极为有限的情况下。

Comprehensive Robustness Analysis of LiDAR-based 3D Object Detection in Autonomous Driving

基于LiDAR的自动驾驶3D目标检测的全面鲁棒性分析
Chandorkar, Adwait, Krink, Kai, Maulenbay, Yerdana, Tercan, Hasan, Meisen, Tobias
Abstract
Recent advancements in LiDAR-only 3D object detection have demonstrated improved detection accuracy over benchmark datasets. However, the adversarial robustness of these models remains untested. Very few adversarial robustness studies exist for LiDAR-only 3D object detection and unfortunately, even they are limited to legacy models. Moreover, there is a systemic gap in the existing evaluation frameworks that rely simply on mAP ignoring other structural and predictive factors. To fill this gap, we propose a holistic framework that evaluates adversarial robustness using two structural factors (point cloud density and point cloud localization) and three predictive factors (misclassification, localization error, distance from ego). Using this framework, we perform an empirical study and critical analysis on recent and legacy state-of-the-art models using adversarial attacks specifically designed for LiDAR-based models. Our key finding is that high-capacity, voxel-based detectors are more susceptible to structured coordinate perturbations than pillar-based detectors. Additionally, non-anchor-based detectors demonstrate poor adversarial robustness, which necessitates rethinking model training techniques. Overall, our results demonstrate that recent models are as vulnerable to adversarial attacks as their predecessors. Therefore, we argue that there is a need to improve the evaluation benchmarks for 3D object detection that not only reward architectural modifications for improving detection accuracy, but also evaluate whether the design choices improve adversarial robustness.

最近,基于LiDAR的3D目标检测在基准数据集上展示了更高的检测精度。然而,这些模型的对抗鲁棒性尚未得到测试。针对基于LiDAR的3D目标检测的对抗鲁棒性研究非常少,遗憾的是,即便存在的研究也仅限于传统模型。此外,现有评估框架存在系统性缺陷,仅依赖于平均精度均值(mAP),忽视了其他结构性和预测性因素。为填补这一空白,我们提出了一个整体框架,通过两个结构性因素(点云密度和点云定位)和三个预测性因素(误分类、定位误差、与自我距离)来评估对抗鲁棒性。利用该框架,我们对最近和传统的最先进模型进行了实证研究和关键分析,使用专门为基于LiDAR的模型设计的对抗攻击。我们的主要发现是,高容量的体素(voxel)检测器比基于柱(pillar)的检测器更容易受到结构性坐标扰动的影响。此外,非锚点(non-anchor)检测器表现出较差的对抗鲁棒性,这需要重新思考模型训练技术。总体而言,我们的结果表明,最近的模型在对抗攻击方面与其前身同样脆弱。因此,我们认为有必要改进3D目标检测的评估基准,不仅奖励改善检测精度的架构修改,还评估设计选择是否提高了对抗鲁棒性。

HandsOnWorld: Unconstrained Egocentric Video Generation with Camera-Disentangled Hand Control

HandsOnWorld:无约束自我中心视频生成与相机解耦手部控制

Abstract
We present HandsOnWorld, a framework for hand-controlled egocentric video generation that forgoes multi-view and marker-based motion capture, learning instead from unconstrained monocular video. Such generality is bottlenecked by the scarcity of scalable 3D hand annotations: large egocentric corpora lack finger-level labels, whereas precise hand datasets are confined to narrow, instrumented settings, limiting prior hand-controlled generators to restricted scene distributions. We instead annotate 3D hands directly on in-the-wild egocentric video through monocular reconstruction, introducing a protagonist-centered annotation pipeline that filters the reconstructions at the action-semantic, image-quality, and 3D-geometric levels to build EgoVid-Pro, a dataset of clean, protagonist-only hand trajectories spanning 103K clips and roughly 12M frames across diverse everyday scenes. To resolve the camera-hand entanglement induced by large ego-motion, we further propose the Pl\"{u}cker Hand Map, a 3D-aware control signal that extends Pl\"{u}cker-ray representations from camera rays to the hand surface, disentangling camera and hand motion at the representation level. Experiments show that \method surpasses prior hand-controlled generators in reconstruction fidelity and control accuracy, and generalizes to out-of-distribution everyday scenes beyond the laboratory datasets on which prior methods rely.

DeepGaze3.5-VL: Modeling Scanpaths via Autoregressive Token Prediction

DeepGaze3.5-VL:通过自回归标记预测建模扫描路径
Agrawal, Susmit, Bethge, Matthias, Kümmerer, Matthias
Abstract
Understanding human visual attention on a scene over time has applications in domains such as interface design and inferring cognitive states. Modeling visual scanpaths has historically relied on specialized architectures with hand-crafted priors. While these architectures can model fixation sequences, their rigid structural biases restrict easy extendability and flexible conditioning. For instance, integrating task-specific instructions or adapting to distinct viewer identities requires custom, disjoint architectural additions. We frame scanpath prediction purely as a discrete sequence modeling task. By mapping coordinates into a text vocabulary, we leverage the pretrained representations of Vision-Language Models. This framing absorbs diverse factors of variation: simple prompting allows for global conditioning, such as providing viewer identities to capture personalized biases, or task-specific objectives like visual search. The framework can also integrate per-fixation attributes, such as individual fixation durations, alongside spatial locations. The autoregressive alignment enables the scalable, exact computation of per-fixation log-likelihoods, directly equivalent to the commonly used Information Gain (IG) metric. Our model, DeepGaze3.5-VL, establishes a new state-of-the-art across multiple datasets, achieving 2.18 bits of IG on MIT1003, a 46% improvement over DeepGaze III. This advantage persists even when baselines use identical high-capacity vision encoders. Beyond predictive performance, our generative framework serves as a powerful computational tool for direct behavioral interventions, allowing for controlled in-silico simulations that would be experimentally difficult or impossible to conduct in vivo. We demonstrate this ability by performing controlled interventions on the durations of pre-saccadic fixations, recovering known oculomotor phenomena purely from data.

Abstract
Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved strong performance across diverse multimodal tasks, yet they remain vulnerable to unreliable reasoning. Existing self-correction methods mitigate these issues but typically rely on post-training or carefully engineered feedback, incurring high computational cost. In this work, we revisit this challenge through the lens of emotional cues, asking whether they can activate latent self-correction behaviors in VLMs without additional training. \textbf{We find that emotional signals serve as an effective trigger for self-correction, encouraging more cautious and reflective reasoning}. Motivated by this finding, we propose \escabstract (\textbf{\underline{E}}motional \textbf{\underline{S}}elf-\textbf{\underline{C}}orrection), a training-free self-correction framework. ESC introduces an external verifier that detects potentially incorrect initial responses and injects emotional feedback to encourage model to reflect, and produce a better revised response without additional training. Extensive experiments across safety, hallucination, vision-centric perception, and multimodal reasoning benchmarks show that ESC consistently improves reliability while preserving overall model utility. These results suggest that emotion can function not only as an ability to be recognized, but also as a practical control signal for scalable self-correction in VLMs. \textbf{We therefore believe that ESC provides a strong foundation for a new reliable human-like, emotion-integrated research direction.} Our project is publicly available at \textcolor{red}{https://genai4e.github.io/ESC/}.

TCG-AR: Real-Time Multi-View Augmented Reality for Trading Card Game Streaming

TCG-AR:用于交易卡牌游戏直播的实时多视角增强现实
Cioppa, Anthony, Verdonck, Antoine, Henry, Maxim, Van Droogenbroeck, Marc, La Rocca, Raphaël
Abstract
Trading card games are increasingly played and broadcast online, yet live streams remain mostly limited to flat top-down footage of the playing area. Augmenting such streams with virtual models of the played cards would improve the viewing experience, but most existing systems rely on instrumented playing surfaces and embedded chips, which are costly and impractical for casual players and large-scale events. In this work, we present TCG-AR, a novel real-time pipeline that augments trading card games using ordinary RGB cameras alone, without any physical markers or specialized hardware. Our pipeline detects, orients, and identifies the cards on the board, renders virtual content onto each card across all views, and can additionally compose a broadcaststyle view that summarizes the game state for spectators, streaming the augmented feeds to standard broadcasting software such as OBS. To train the detection, orientation, and identification models without manual labeling, we introduce an automatic procedure that generates annotated synthetic training data from a reference set of card images. Then, we evaluate several trained models on a new manually annotated dataset with real images, analyzing performance and runtime throughput that determine real-world usability. Overall, by relying only on commodity cameras and hardware, and by open-sourcing all code, models, and datasets, this work aims to serve as a reference for real-time trading card recognition and to make real-time augmented-reality streaming accessible to the broader community of players and streamers.

Multimodal Fusion for Fine-Grained Classification of Breast Fibroadenoma and Phyllodes Tumors

乳腺纤维腺瘤与叶状肿瘤的细粒度分类的多模态融合
Nan, Chuxi, Wu, Di, Guo, Hongming, Cao, Ning, Zhu, Xiaohui, Shi, Zhaoting, Li, Jiawei
Abstract
Breast fibroadenoma (FA) and phyllodes tumor (PT) are fibroepithelial breast lesions with highly overlapping appearances on B-mode ultrasound, making benign and borderline PT prone to being misclassified as FA and complicating preoperative decision-making. Existing computer-aided diagnosis methods commonly rely on single-modal imaging features and insufficiently exploit complementary clinical and textual information. To address this limitation, we construct the FAPT-M Dataset, a pathology-confirmed multimodal dataset comprising 910 patients with strictly reviewed ultrasound images, structured clinical attributes, and ultrasound diagnostic descriptions. Based on this dataset, we propose a clinically guided multimodal framework that integrates DenseNet-based visual encoding, CLIP-inspired text encoding, and lightweight clinical encoding, and further introduces clinical-conditioned adaptive modulation, cross-modal Transformer fusion, and dual-path representation learning to improve feature alignment and multimodal interaction. Under patient-level five-fold cross-validation, the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 77.64%, F1-score of 73.38%, and AUC of 89.74%, outperforming representative CNN-, Transformer-, and vision-language-based baselines. Ablation studies and class-balanced evaluations further confirm the contribution of three-modality fusion and the key architectural components. Overall, this work provides an effective multimodal approach for fine-grained FA-PT classification and establishes a high-quality benchmark for multimodal breast ultrasound analysis.

LongEgoRefer: A Benchmark for Long-Form Egocentric Video Referring Expression Comprehension

LongEgoRefer:长格式自我中心视频指称表达理解的基准
Kato, Shunya, Miyanishi, Taiki, Kurita, Shuhei, Ukai, Mahiro, Inoue, Nakamasa, Chu, Chenhui
Abstract
Egocentric videos capture rich and diverse human-object interactions and have emerged as a fundamental resource for understanding human activities related to objects. In this context, Video Referring Expression Comprehension (Video REC), the task of localizing the temporal and spatial extent of a referred object in video frames given a natural language query, plays a key role in linking textual descriptions to observed objects in untrimmed egocentric recordings. However, existing egocentric Video REC benchmarks primarily focus on short video clips, where some target object appears densely within frames. Such settings do not reflect real-world egocentric recordings, which are long-form, untrimmed, and characterized by sparse object occurrences and complex activity transitions. To address this limitation, we introduce LongEgoRefer, a novel and challenging benchmark constructed from long-form videos in the Ego4D dataset. LongEgoRefer contains 1,498 referring expressions with an average video duration of 45 minutes. The benchmark exhibits extreme target sparsity, detailed linguistic descriptions, and complex human-object interactions embedded in long, dynamic egocentric narratives. Consequently, it defines a demanding spatio-temporal grounding problem that requires models to identify both when an event occurs and where the referred object appears within extended video sequences.

自我中心视频捕捉了丰富多样的人与物体之间的互动,已成为理解与物体相关的人类活动的基本资源。在这个背景下,视频指称表达理解(Video REC)是指在给定自然语言查询的情况下,定位视频帧中被指称物体的时间和空间范围的任务,它在将文本描述与未剪辑的自我中心录音中观察到的物体联系起来方面发挥着关键作用。然而,现有的自我中心视频 REC 基准主要集中在短视频片段上,其中某些目标物体在帧中密集出现。这种设置并未反映现实世界中的自我中心录音,这些录音通常是长格式的、未剪辑的,并且以稀疏的物体出现和复杂的活动过渡为特征。为了解决这一局限性,我们引入了 LongEgoRefer,这是一个基于 Ego4D 数据集中长格式视频构建的新颖且具有挑战性的基准。LongEgoRefer 包含 1,498 个指称表达,平均视频时长为 45 分钟。该基准展现了极端的目标稀疏性、详细的语言描述以及嵌入在长篇动态自我中心叙事中的复杂人-物体互动。因此,它定义了一个要求模型识别事件发生时间和被指称物体在扩展视频序列中出现位置的严格时空定位问题。我们评估了现有的视频 REC 方法,包括基于视觉-语言模型与 Grounded SAM2 结合的无训练基线。广泛的实验表明,即使是先进的基线和当前的最先进模型在 LongEgoRefer 上也面临显著挑战。这些结果突显了长格式自我中心时空定位的内在困难,并强调了对更强大的视频理解模型的需求。

WBMM: Windowed Batch Matrix Multiplication for Efficient Large Receptive Field Convolution

WBMM:用于高效大感受野卷积的窗口化批量矩阵乘法
Song, Wan, Zhou, Wei, Wang, Rui, Yu, Jun, Kurihara, Toru, Xu, Jiajia, Zhan, Shu
Abstract
Large kernel depthwise convolutions achieve strong performance but suffer from significant degradation as kernel size grows due to irregular memory access from gather-based computation; while Large Kernel Acceleration (LKA) helps on small feature maps, it becomes counterproductive on large feature maps, even slower than non-accelerated implementations. We propose Windowed Batch Matrix Multiplication (WBMM), which partitions input into contiguous windows and indexes a compact relative position bias table to construct weight matrices, enabling regular memory access via batched matrix multiplication. This yields a unique property: WBMM's throughput improves with larger windows, opposite to depthwise convolutions that degrade with larger kernels. Operator-level benchmarks show WBMM with 14x14 windows outperforms 5x5 depthwise convolution baselines in speed while providing a 7.8x larger per-layer receptive field. Combined with inter-block cross-window communication and hierarchical window reparameterization, WBMM achieves comparable or higher accuracy on ImageNet-1K, COCO, and ADE20K with 1.31-1.88x training speedup, and demonstrates consistent advantages across GPU, CPU, and edge devices without requiring specialized acceleration kernels. Our code is available at http://github.com/wansong-s/WBMM

大核深度卷积在性能上表现出色,但随着核大小的增加,由于基于聚集计算的不规则内存访问,性能显著下降;虽然大核加速(Large Kernel Acceleration, LKA)在小特征图上有所帮助,但在大特征图上却适得其反,甚至比未加速的实现还要慢。我们提出了窗口化批量矩阵乘法(Windowed Batch Matrix Multiplication, WBMM),该方法将输入划分为连续的窗口,并索引一个紧凑的相对位置偏置表来构建权重矩阵,从而通过批量矩阵乘法实现规则的内存访问。这带来了一个独特的特性:WBMM的吞吐量随着窗口的增大而提高,这与深度卷积在核增大时性能下降的情况正好相反。操作级基准测试表明,使用14x14窗口的WBMM在速度上优于5x5深度卷积基线,同时提供了7.8倍更大的每层感受野。结合块间跨窗口通信和分层窗口重参数化,WBMM在ImageNet-1K、COCO和ADE20K上实现了可比或更高的准确率,并获得了1.31-1.88倍的训练加速,同时在GPU、CPU和边缘设备上均表现出一致的优势,无需专门的加速内核。我们的代码可在http://github.com/wansong-s/WBMM获取。

X-Splat: Gaussian Splatting for 3D CBCT Generation from Single Panoramic Radiograph

X-Splat:基于高斯点云的单幅全景放射影像生成3D锥形束计算机断层扫描
Szczepański, Tomasz, Płotka, Szymon, Grzeszczyk, Michal K., Trzciński, Tomasz, Sitek, Arkadiusz
Abstract
Generating a 3D dental volume from a single panoramic radiograph (PXR) could provide a low-radiation alternative to Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), but the problem is highly underdetermined: panoramic acquisition integrates 3D attenuation along curved X-ray paths into a 2D image, leaving depth-resolved anatomy unobserved. Existing implicit and generative approaches often produce oversmoothed geometry or anatomically inconsistent hallucinations, lacking geometry-driven supervision and relying on smooth representations unable to precisely localize sharp anatomical boundaries. We propose X-Splat, the first Gaussian Splatting framework for generating CBCT-like 3D dental volumes from a single PXR. X-Splat uses the known panoramic acquisition geometry as a generation scaffold: learnable anisotropic Gaussian primitives are initialized along the X-ray paths that formed the input image and adjusted in a single feed-forward pass, constrained by Beer-Lambert reprojection and multi-view radiographic training supervision. A lightweight residual refiner adds dataset-level anatomical priors without overriding the geometry already resolved by the Gaussians. We train on synthetic PXR-CBCT pairs, enabling direct volumetric supervision without paired real scans. We further introduce segmentation-based geometry-aware metrics, providing the first evaluation of PXR-based generation over maxillofacial anatomy. X-Splat outperforms NeRF- and GAN-based baselines, recovering individual teeth, cortical boundaries, and alveolar structure, including the mandibular canal which prior methods fail to reconstruct.

从单幅全景放射影像(PXR)生成3D牙科体积可以提供一种低辐射的锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)替代方案,但该问题高度欠定:全景采集将沿曲线X射线路径的3D衰减整合为2D图像,导致深度分辨的解剖结构未被观察到。现有的隐式和生成方法往往产生过于平滑的几何形状或解剖上不一致的幻觉,缺乏几何驱动的监督,并依赖于无法精确定位尖锐解剖边界的平滑表示。我们提出了X-Splat,这是第一个用于从单幅PXR生成类似CBCT的3D牙科体积的高斯点云框架。X-Splat利用已知的全景采集几何作为生成支架:可学习的各向异性高斯原语沿着形成输入图像的X射线路径初始化,并在单次前馈传递中进行调整,受限于Beer-Lambert重投影和多视图放射影像训练监督。一个轻量级的残差精炼器在不覆盖高斯已解析几何的情况下,添加数据集级别的解剖先验。我们在合成的PXR-CBCT对上进行训练,使得在没有配对真实扫描的情况下实现直接的体积监督。我们进一步引入基于分割的几何感知度量,首次评估基于PXR的生成在颌面解剖上的表现。X-Splat在恢复个别牙齿、皮质边界和牙槽结构方面优于基于NeRF和GAN的基线,包括下颌管,这是先前方法未能重建的结构。代码将可在 https://github.com/tomek1911/X-Splat 获取。

AbsoluteDegradation: A Physics-Inspired Synthetic Film-Degradation Pipeline and Archival Film Restoration Benchmark

绝对降解:一种基于物理的合成胶卷降解流程与档案胶卷修复基准
Jastrzębski, Mikołaj, Glinkowski, Dawid, Zieliński, Dawid, Borkowski, Daniel, Kozłowski, Wojciech, Adamczewski, Kamil
Abstract
Restoring archival film remains a fundamentally challenging problem due to the absence of paired training data and the lack of standardized evaluation benchmarks. Pristine versions of deteriorated footage are physically unrecoverable, requiring supervised methods to rely on synthetic data that often fail to capture the complex, temporally coherent nature of real film degradation. At the same time, existing real-world datasets are limited in scale, quality, and accessibility, hindering reliable evaluation and fair comparison across methods. We address both limitations with AbsoluteDegradation, a physics-inspired, modular pipeline for synthesizing realistic film degradations, and a new large-scale archival benchmark. The proposed pipeline models the analog-to-digital process as a structured composition of artifact families, incorporating signal-dependent grain, parametric scratches, and temporally coherent camera motion, enabling controlled generation of diverse degradation regimes. In parallel, we introduce a curated dataset of 81,576 high-resolution frames sourced from real archival footage, designed for consistent evaluation under real-world conditions. Together, these contributions provide a unified framework for training and benchmarking restoration models. Extensive experiments across multiple architectures show that models trained with AbsoluteDegradation generalize better to real-world footage, while the proposed benchmark reveals systematic failure modes of current methods. We hope this work establishes a foundation for reproducible and domain-authentic evaluation in archival film restoration.

修复档案胶卷仍然是一个根本性的挑战,因为缺乏配对的训练数据和标准化的评估基准。受损影像的原始版本在物理上不可恢复,这要求监督方法依赖于合成数据,而这些数据往往无法捕捉真实胶卷降解的复杂性和时间一致性。同时,现有的真实世界数据集在规模、质量和可获取性方面都有限,阻碍了可靠的评估和方法之间的公平比较。我们通过绝对降解(AbsoluteDegradation)来解决这两个限制,这是一个基于物理的模块化流程,用于合成真实的胶卷降解,并提供一个新的大规模档案基准。所提出的流程将模拟到数字的过程建模为一个结构化的伪影家族组合,结合了信号依赖的颗粒、参数化划痕和时间一致的相机运动,从而实现多样化降解模式的可控生成。同时,我们引入了一个精心策划的数据集,包含来自真实档案影像的81,576帧高分辨率图像,旨在在真实世界条件下进行一致的评估。这些贡献共同提供了一个统一的框架,用于训练和基准测试修复模型。针对多种架构的广泛实验表明,使用绝对降解训练的模型在真实影像上具有更好的泛化能力,而所提出的基准揭示了当前方法的系统性失败模式。我们希望这项工作为档案胶卷修复中的可重复和领域真实的评估奠定基础。

AdaCount: Training-Free Similarity-Guided Spatial and Feature Adaptation for Zero-Shot Object Counting

AdaCount:无训练的相似性引导空间与特征适应用于零-shot物体计数
Siddiqui, Muhammad Ibraheem, Khan, Muhammad Haris
Abstract
Zero-shot object counting (ZOC) aims to count instances of arbitrary object categories specified only through textual prompts. Recent training-free approaches leverage foundation models such as SAM to reformulate counting as a prompt-driven segmentation task, eliminating the need for costly counting-specific training data with point-level annotations. More recently, SAM3 introduced promptable concept segmentation, enabling the zero-shot segmentation of all instances corresponding to a text-defined concept. However, SAM3 struggles in densely populated scenes containing numerous small objects, where limited image resolution and insufficient attention to target-relevant regions often lead to missed instances and poor instance separation, hindering accurate object counting. To address this limitation, we propose AdaCount, a training-free framework for ZOC based on similarity-guided spatial and feature adaptation. AdaCount first estimates a prototype-driven similarity map that identifies target-relevant regions. This similarity map subsequently guides two complementary adaptations: (i) similarity-guided spatial warping, which reallocates image resolution toward target instances, and (ii) feature modulation, which amplifies target-relevant encoder representations. Together, these adaptations enable SAM3 to devote greater representational capacity to target-relevant regions while preserving global image context, without requiring any model retraining. Extensive experiments across six diverse counting benchmarks establish AdaCount as a new SOTA among training-free ZOC approaches.

零-shot物体计数(ZOC)旨在仅通过文本提示来计数任意物体类别的实例。最近的无训练方法利用基础模型如SAM将计数重新表述为一个基于提示的分割任务,从而消除了对昂贵的特定计数训练数据(带有点级注释)的需求。更近期的SAM3引入了可提示的概念分割,使得能够对所有与文本定义概念相对应的实例进行零-shot分割。然而,SAM3在包含众多小物体的密集场景中表现不佳,有限的图像分辨率和对目标相关区域的关注不足常常导致漏计实例和实例分离不良,从而妨碍准确的物体计数。为了解决这一局限性,我们提出了AdaCount,一个基于相似性引导的空间与特征适应的无训练框架,用于ZOC。AdaCount首先估计一个原型驱动的相似性图,识别目标相关区域。该相似性图随后引导两种互补的适应: (i) 相似性引导的空间变形,重新分配图像分辨率以聚焦于目标实例;(ii) 特征调制,增强目标相关的编码器表示。这些适应共同使得SAM3能够将更多的表征能力集中于目标相关区域,同时保持全局图像上下文,而无需任何模型重训练。通过在六个不同的计数基准上进行广泛实验,AdaCount确立了其作为无训练ZOC方法中的新状态最优(SOTA)。

SAMoR: Motion Modelling for Articulated Objects of Any Skeleton and Topology

SAMoR:任意骨架和拓扑的关节物体运动建模
Zhang, Yuhao, Pons-Moll, Gerard, Birdal, Tolga
Abstract
Modeling motion for articulated objects of arbitrary skeleton topology remains difficult: existing motion generators target a fixed human skeleton, and prior adaptations either fail to share a vocabulary across rigs or discard motion detail through global pooling. Our key observation is that while joint-level motion does not correspond cleanly across species, motion of functional joint groups does: a human arm, a wolf foreleg, and a bird wing share motion structure despite differing joint counts and connectivity, a correspondence that joint names (e.g., "forearm", "wing_L1") partially expose even when topology does not. We introduce SAMoR (Skeleton-Aware Motion Representation for Articulated Objects), a cross-topology motion representation that encodes each motion segment as a small fixed number ($K=8$) of part tokens shared across arbitrary skeletons. A graph-transformer encoder consumes per-joint motion features, kinematic graph structure, and joint-name embeddings, then compresses them into part-level tokens via cross-attention pooling and residual vector quantization, yielding a discrete motion codebook shared across rigs. To keep the part queries from collapsing into redundant global representations, we introduce a topology-agnostic attention supervision loss, with joint-name dropout to reduce over-reliance on text labels. We curate a heterogeneous corpus from HumanML3D, Truebones Zoo, and animated Objaverse-XL assets, and evaluate SAMoR on held-out characters with unseen skeletons. It supports accurate reconstruction and cross-topology transfer, and enables text-conditioned generation and part-wise editing via a MaskGIT token generator. SAMoR reaches $2.75 \times 10^{-2}$ normalized MPJPE on cross-topology reconstruction, $5.8\times$ below the strongest adapted variable-$J$ tokenizer baseline, while remaining competitive with fixed-skeleton specialists on HumanML3D.

对任意骨架拓扑的关节物体进行运动建模仍然是一个难题:现有的运动生成器针对固定的人类骨架,而之前的适配要么未能在不同的模型之间共享词汇,要么通过全局池化丢失了运动细节。我们的关键观察是,尽管关节级别的运动在不同物种之间并不完全对应,但功能关节组的运动却是相似的:人类的手臂、狼的前腿和鸟的翅膀在运动结构上是共享的,尽管它们的关节数量和连接方式不同,这种对应关系即使在拓扑不一致时,关节名称(例如,“前臂”、“翼_L1”)也能部分揭示。我们提出了SAMoR(Skeleton-Aware Motion Representation for Articulated Objects),一种跨拓扑的运动表示方法,将每个运动片段编码为固定数量($K=8$)的部分标记,这些标记在任意骨架之间是共享的。图形变换器编码器消耗每个关节的运动特征、运动学图结构和关节名称嵌入,然后通过交叉注意力池化和残差向量量化将其压缩为部分级别的标记,从而生成一个跨模型共享的离散运动代码本。为了防止部分查询崩溃为冗余的全局表示,我们引入了一种拓扑无关的注意力监督损失,并采用关节名称丢弃以减少对文本标签的过度依赖。我们从HumanML3D、Truebones Zoo和动画Objaverse-XL资产中整理了一个异构语料库,并在未见骨架的保留角色上评估了SAMoR。它支持准确的重建和跨拓扑转移,并通过MaskGIT标记生成器实现文本条件生成和部分编辑。SAMoR在跨拓扑重建中达到了$2.75 imes 10^{-2}$的标准化MPJPE,比最强的适配可变-$J$标记器基线低$5.8 imes$,同时在HumanML3D上与固定骨架专家保持竞争力。

Patient-Specific Articulated Digital Twins from a Single Full-Body CT Scan

基于单次全身CT扫描的患者特异性关节数字双胞胎
Zhang, Han, Zhao, Boyang, Unberath, Mathias
Abstract
Patient-specific anatomical models provide individualized context for surgical planning, image-guided intervention, and algorithm development. However, most CT-derived models are static: they preserve the body configuration captured at scan time, but cannot represent how the same anatomy would appear after patient repositioning. This limitation is especially important for radiographic imaging, where appearance depends jointly on imaging geometry and patient pose. We present a proof-of-concept for constructing a patient-specific articulated digital twin from a single full-body CT scan. The method fits a parametric human body model (SMPL) to obtain a patient-aligned kinematic scaffold, binds segmented bones and organs to an anatomy-aware rig, and retargets body-pose changes while preserving skeletal geometry. On three full-body CT subjects, the fitted scaffold achieved 15.8 $\pm$ 4.0 mm chamfer distance and 95.9 $\pm$ 1.8% skeletal enclosure. Recomposition at the acquisition pose preserved major radiographic structure, with overall SSIM of 0.872 $\pm$ 0.016 and PSNR of 18.5 $\pm$ 1.4 dB across paired DRRs. Across unseen target poses, the resulting twins enabled articulation while maintaining high skeletal enclosure (94.4 $\pm$ 0.4%). As a feasibility demonstration, we render the articulated twin as pose-dependent DRRs. These results suggest the feasibility of extending static, view-controllable CT simulation toward pose-controllable anatomical twins for future synthetic imaging and positioning studies.

患者特异性解剖模型为外科规划、图像引导干预和算法开发提供了个性化的背景。然而,大多数CT衍生模型是静态的:它们保留了扫描时捕获的身体配置,但无法表示在患者重新定位后相同解剖结构的外观。这一限制在放射成像中尤为重要,因为外观同时依赖于成像几何和患者姿态。我们展示了一种从单次全身CT扫描构建患者特异性关节数字双胞胎的概念验证方法。该方法拟合一个参数化的人体模型(SMPL),以获得与患者对齐的运动学支架,将分割的骨骼和器官绑定到一个解剖感知的装置上,并在保持骨骼几何形状的同时重新定向身体姿态变化。在三名全身CT受试者中,拟合的支架达到了15.8 ± 4.0 mm的切边距离和95.9 ± 1.8%的骨骼包围率。在采集姿态下的重组保留了主要的放射结构,配对DRR的整体结构相似性指数(SSIM)为0.872 ± 0.016,峰值信噪比(PSNR)为18.5 ± 1.4 dB。在未见目标姿态下,生成的双胞胎能够进行关节运动,同时保持高骨骼包围率(94.4 ± 0.4%)。作为可行性演示,我们将关节双胞胎渲染为姿态依赖的DRR。这些结果表明,将静态、视图可控的CT模拟扩展为姿态可控的解剖双胞胎在未来的合成成像和定位研究中是可行的。

Efficient PEFT Methods with Adaptive Checkpointing for Vision Models and VLMs on Resource Constrained Consumer-GPUs

针对资源受限消费者GPU的视觉模型和视觉语言模型的自适应检查点高效PEFT方法
Toktassyn, Altay, Park, Jurn-Gyu
Abstract
Modern pretrained vision models achieve strong accuracy but demand substantial GPU memory for fine-tuning, making edge deployment impractical. This paper compares five parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods (Full FT, LoRA, AdaLoRA, QLoRA, BitFit) on Transformers- (ViT-Small, TinyViT) and Mamba-based vision backbones (Vim-Small, MambaVision-T) under an on-device VRAM budget (e.g., 2 GB), together with three gradient-checkpointing strategies (none, static, and a proposed memory-budget-aware adaptive algorithm); and we evaluate three families of foundation-model baselines: zero-shot contrastive vision language models (OpenCLIP, SigLIP), self-supervised vision backbones with lightweight evaluation protocols (DINOv2), and autoregressive VLMs for prompt-based classification (PaliGemma, MobileVLM, SmolVLM). Experiments on CIFAR-100 and DTD report accuracy, training time, energy, and the NetScore family of multi-objective metrics, which we extend with two deployment-aware variants. QLoRA and BitFit cut energy 20-30% at a 1-2% accuracy cost; the adaptive algorithm reduces peak memory 43-79% with 9-30% energy overhead. DINOv2 surpasses fine-tuned models on CIFAR-100 (0.917 vs. 0.897) at a fraction of the energy, while small autoregressive VLMs remain uncompetitive.

RadiomicNet: A Hybrid Radiomics-Guided Lightweight Architecture for Interpretable Medical Image Segmentation

RadiomicNet:一种混合放射组学引导的轻量级架构,用于可解释的医学图像分割
Rahman, Mohammad Amanour
Abstract
Deep learning has achieved remarkable performance in medical image segmentation, yet it suffers from critical limitations: mathematical intractability, substantial parameter requirements, and lack of clinical interpretability. We propose RadiomicNet, a novel two-stream hybrid architecture that enhances standard deep learning by integrating handcrafted radiomics features directly into the segmentation learning process. The key contribution is the Radiomics Attention Gate (RAG), which leverages Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features to modulate skip-connection attention in a lightweight MobileNetV2-based encoder-decoder, providing ante-hoc interpretability without post-hoc approximations. A novel Radiomics Consistency Loss further enforces alignment between texture complexity and prediction uncertainty, reducing Expected Calibration Error (ECE) from 0.142 to 0.118. RadiomicNet achieves a Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 0.763 +/- 0.231 on the Breast Ultrasound Images (BUSI) dataset and 0.854 +/- 0.112 on Kvasir-SEG, outperforming U-KAN by 1.2% and 1.8%, respectively (p < 0.05, Wilcoxon signed-rank test), with only 3.27M parameters, 9.5x fewer than standard U-Net and 4.3x fewer than U-KAN. Gradient-based feature importance analysis reveals that GLCM dissimilarity (15.24%), GLCM energy (14.56%), and LBP entropy (11.49%) are the dominant radiomics cues, providing clinically meaningful explanations for segmentation decisions. The proposed approach demonstrates that compact, interpretable models grounded in domain knowledge can deliver state-of-the-art segmentation performance with substantially reduced computational overhead.

MedSaab-US: A Backpropagation-Free Multi-Scale Wavelet-Saab Framework for Thyroid Nodule Segmentation in Ultrasound Images

MedSaab-US:一种无反向传播的多尺度小波-Saab框架,用于超声图像中的甲状腺结节分割
Rahman, Mohammad Amanour
Abstract
Deep learning (DL) methods dominate thyroid nodule segmentation in ultrasound (US) images, achieving high Dice scores but at the cost of millions of parameters, GPU-dependent training via backpropagation, and limited mathematical tractability. These limitations impede deployment in resource-constrained environments. In this paper, we propose MedSaab-US, a backpropagation-free segmentation framework grounded in the Green Learning paradigm. MedSaab-US extracts multi-scale spatial-frequency features by combining multi-level Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) with multi-scale channel-wise Saab (Subspace Approximation with Adjusted Bias) transforms at patch sizes of 5 x 5, 11 x 11, and 21 x 21 pixels. Label-Assisted Greedy (LAG) feature selection retains the most discriminative features, which are fed to an XGBoost classifier for pixel-wise prediction. The Saab transform parameters are determined analytically from data statistics, while XGBoost employs iterative greedy tree construction without requiring backpropagation. Evaluated on the TN3K dataset (2,879 training and 614 test images), MedSaab-US achieves a mean Dice coefficient of 0.4784 +/- 0.2190, precision of 0.5768, and recall of 0.5604, with a model footprint under 500K parameters and CPU-only inference in approximately 0.3 seconds per image. We present this result as an exploratory non-DL baseline for thyroid ultrasound segmentation and analyze the specific challenges posed by isoechoic nodules. An ablation study further quantifies the contribution of each pipeline component, including separate evaluations of LAG feature selection and training-set size.

DetailAnywhere: Fashion Detail Generation via Cross-Modal Feature Alignment Distillation

Abstract
Diffusion-based generative AI has achieved remarkable success in e-commerce applications such as virtual try-on, poster generation, and product background synthesis. However, when making online purchasing decisions for apparel, consumers also desire the freedom to examine specific detail regions of interest, such as collars, cuffs, and fabric textures, yet existing methods have not explicitly studied this setting. We therefore formalize a new, non-template task: Fashion Detail Generation with focus conditioning, and release FDBench, the first benchmark comprising 40K+ human-verified reference-detail pairs across 41 different categories. This task poses a unique semantic gap challenge: the model must bridge the correspondence between a focus marker on a product reference image and a photorealistic close-up view of the indicated region, while faithfully preserving the garment's identity, without any precise prompt. To bridge this gap, we propose Cross-modal Feature Alignment Distillation (CFAD), which leverages a fine-tuned DINOv3 teacher to align both branches of a Multimodal Diffusion Transformer in a shared semantic space via dual-branch distillation. To further improve consistency between generated details and reference images, we introduce a consistency reward model that jointly scores image pairs along three quality axes and optimizes generation via reinforcement learning.

Efficient Waste Sorting for Circular Economy: A Confidence-guided comparison between One-Vs-All and One-Vs-Rest Classification Strategies with Human-in-the-Loop for Automated Waste Sorting

循环经济中的高效垃圾分类:基于信心的One-Vs-All与One-Vs-Rest分类策略的比较,结合人机协作实现自动化垃圾分类
Ali, Mohammed Fahad, Briechle, Dominique, Briechle-Mathiszig, Marit, Geger, Tobias, Rausch, Andreas
Abstract
The complexity of waste disposal regulations across European countries poses significant challenges for the residents and hinders the transition to a Circular Economy. In Germany, the proper sorting and disposal of household waste remains challenging across municipalities. Consequently, substantially reducing incorrectly disposed waste is vital for improving waste management and advancing the Circular Economy. AI-based waste sorting solutions can support residents through user-friendly tools, such as mobile applications, that guide proper waste disposal. To be effective in supporting the Circular Economy, however, these solutions must be configurable to reflect the specific waste sorting scheme of individual municipalities in Germany. In the scope of this work, an evaluation and analysis are performed of two prominent classification strategies: OvA and OvR. The research uses a dataset constructed in alignment with the waste categories and sorting scheme of the city of Goslar in Germany. Moreover, this work aims to extend beyond the overall performance by examining the behavior of OvA and OvR classification strategies in identifying samples likely to be misclassified. These classification strategies are compared by applying varying confidence thresholds to identify uncertain samples for subsequent human review. This evaluation aims to balance the number of misclassifications against the human effort required for data annotation.

When Token Compression Breaks: Structural Pruning vs. Token Reduction for Robust ViT Segmentation under High Compression

当令牌压缩失效时:结构剪枝与令牌减少在高压缩下对鲁棒性ViT分割的影响
Nguyen, Tien-Phat, Cheung, Ngai-Man
Abstract
Vision Transformers (ViTs) are strong backbones for semantic segmentation, but their computational cost limits deployment. Recent token compression methods for efficient transformer-based segmentation reduce this cost by decreasing the number of tokens. However, existing evaluations primarily focus on low-to-moderate compression, leaving their behavior under aggressive compression and corrupted inputs unclear. Meanwhile, structural pruning provides an orthogonal route to efficiency by removing redundant components in the ViT architecture, but is rarely compared to token compression under a unified protocol. To bridge this gap, we benchmark representative token compression and structural pruning methods for ViT-based semantic segmentation under matched FLOPs on ADE20K and Cityscapes, together with their common-corruption variants ADE20K-C and Cityscapes-C. Our results reveal a consistent trend on both clean and corrupted inputs: token compression is highly effective at mild reductions but degrades sharply when compression becomes severe, consistent with substantial information loss from overly aggressive token reduction. In contrast, structural pruning exhibits a smoother degradation curve and is more stable at high compression. Motivated by these findings, we study a prune-then-merge pipeline that applies moderate token compression on top of a moderately pruned backbone. At comparable FLOPs, this combined strategy consistently achieves a better accuracy-robustness trade-off at high compression, offering a practical recipe for deployment-oriented ViT segmentation.

视觉变换器(ViTs)是语义分割的强大骨干网络,但其计算成本限制了部署。最近的令牌压缩方法通过减少令牌数量来降低这种成本,从而实现高效的基于变换器的分割。然而,现有评估主要集中在低到中等压缩,尚不清楚在激进压缩和输入损坏情况下的表现。同时,结构剪枝通过去除ViT架构中的冗余组件提供了一条正交的效率路径,但在统一协议下很少与令牌压缩进行比较。为填补这一空白,我们在ADE20K和Cityscapes上对代表性的令牌压缩和结构剪枝方法进行了基准测试,确保在匹配的FLOPs下进行比较,同时还考虑了它们的常见损坏变体ADE20K-C和Cityscapes-C。我们的结果揭示了在干净和损坏输入上都存在一致的趋势:令牌压缩在轻微减少时非常有效,但当压缩变得严重时急剧下降,这与过度激进的令牌减少导致的显著信息损失一致。相比之下,结构剪枝表现出更平滑的降级曲线,并在高压缩下更为稳定。基于这些发现,我们研究了一种先剪枝后合并的流程,在适度剪枝的骨干网络上应用适度的令牌压缩。在可比的FLOPs下,这种组合策略在高压缩时始终实现了更好的准确性与鲁棒性之间的权衡,为面向部署的ViT分割提供了一种实用的方案。代码可在 https://github.com/phatnguyencs/vit-seg-compression 获取。

ArcAD: Anomaly-Rectified Calibration for Cold-Start Supervised Anomaly Detection

ArcAD:冷启动监督异常检测的异常校正校准
Han, Ningning, Fan, Lei, Guo, Jia, Cao, Yunkang, Su, Xiu, Cao, Feng, Di, Donglin, Su, Tonghua
Abstract
The deployment of Industrial Anomaly Detection (IAD) in real-world manufacturing frequently encounters a challenging cold-start bottleneck, in which limited normal samples fail to represent the full normal distribution and only a few anomalies are available. Under such a regime, existing methods struggle to form compact normal boundaries and fail to effectively exploit supervised signals from rare defects. To address this challenge, we propose Anomaly-Rectified Cold-start AD (ArcAD), a plug-and-play calibration framework for reconstruction-based IAD baselines. ArcAD follows a push-pull learning paradigm to construct a compact and discriminative normal boundary under data scarcity. On the one hand, ArcAD projects limited normal samples onto a hypersphere and pulls them into multiple compact clusters to maximize coverage of the normal manifold. On the other hand, it synthesizes pseudo-anomalies on the hypersphere and leverages real anomalies to push the boundary inward and sharpen anomaly discrimination. Extensive experiments on MVTec-AD, VisA, Real-IAD, and MANTA demonstrate that ArcAD significantly outperforms state-of-the-art supervised and unsupervised methods in both single-class and multi-class settings under cold-start conditions. Code is available at: https://github.com/LGC-AD/ArcAD.

工业异常检测(IAD)在实际制造中的部署常常面临一个挑战性的冷启动瓶颈,在这种情况下,有限的正常样本无法代表完整的正常分布,并且只有少量异常样本可用。在这种情况下,现有方法难以形成紧凑的正常边界,并未能有效利用稀有缺陷中的监督信号。为了解决这一挑战,我们提出了异常校正冷启动异常检测(ArcAD),这是一种用于基于重建的IAD基线的即插即用校准框架。ArcAD遵循推拉学习范式,在数据稀缺的情况下构建紧凑且具有区分性的正常边界。一方面,ArcAD将有限的正常样本投影到超球面上,并将它们拉入多个紧凑的聚类,以最大化正常流形的覆盖范围。另一方面,它在超球面上合成伪异常,并利用真实异常将边界向内推移,从而增强异常的区分能力。在MVTec-AD、VisA、Real-IAD和MANTA上的大量实验表明,ArcAD在冷启动条件下显著优于最先进的监督和无监督方法,无论是在单类还是多类设置中。代码可在以下链接获取:https://github.com/LGC-AD/ArcAD。

AnyGroundBench: A Specialized-Domain Benchmark for Video Grounding in Vision-Language Models

Otsubo, Rintaro, Fujii, Ryo, Ishikawa, Reina, Kanaya, Taiki, Sawafuji, Kanta, Kajita, Hiroki, Sakai, Shigeki, Saito, Hideo, Hachiuma, Ryo
Abstract
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated immense promise in Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding (STVG). However, current evaluation protocols are largely confined to zero-shot assessments on general, daily-life benchmarks. This creates a critical disconnect from real-world applications in specialized fields, where models inevitably encounter rare visual concepts and complex spatio-temporal dynamics. Since exhaustive pre-training across infinite data distributions is infeasible, the ability to adapt to novel domains is essential. To bridge this gap, we introduce AnyGroundBench, a domain-adaptation benchmark designed to shift the STVG evaluation paradigm from static zero-shot testing to rigorous domain adaptation. Targeting five specialized domains (animal, industry, sports, surgery, and public security), AnyGroundBench pairs newly captured videos such as expert-annotated mouse behaviors with established datasets, unifying them through dense, high-fidelity spatio-temporal annotations. Crucially, the benchmark provides dedicated training subsets to systematically measure domain adaptability. We extensively evaluate 15 state-of-the-art VLMs, assessing their zero-shot generalization and In-Context Learning (ICL) capabilities under practical computational constraints. Ultimately, our findings reveal that current models fail in both zero-shot and ICL-based adaptation when confronted with specialized domains, exposing critical flaws in spatio-temporal reasoning that future research must address.

AGVBench: A Reliability-Oriented Benchmark of Data Augmentation for Vein Recognition

AGVBench:一种面向可靠性的静脉识别数据增强基准

Abstract
Vein recognition is a secure biometric technology often constrained by limited annotated data and imaging variations. While data augmentation mitigates this, strategies designed for natural images may disrupt the fine-grained topology and textures essential for identity discrimination. We present AGVBench, which evaluates 30 representative augmentation strategies on five public palm- and finger-vein datasets with seven backbone architectures, covering classic CNNs, vision transformers, and vein-specific recognition models. Our results show that multi-image mixing methods (e.g., MixUp, PuzzleMix, StarMixup) generally provide the strongest recognition performance. However, they are often poorly calibrated and vulnerable to adversarial perturbations, revealing a clear inconsistency between clean accuracy and adversarial security. We also find that severe geometric transformations frequently degrade recognition, which is potentially due to feature misalignment or spatial cropping, and that augmentation effectiveness varies across palm and finger vein datasets. These findings prove that accuracy-centric evaluation is insufficient for biometric augmentation. AGVBench provides standardized protocols to support reproducible research and guide the design of reliable, secure, and robust vein recognition systems.

FlowCIR: Semantic Transport via Flow Matching for Zero-Shot Composed Image Retrieval

FlowCIR:通过流匹配实现零-shot组合图像检索的语义传输
He, Zhenqi, Jiang, Ziqi, Liu, Yuanpei, Wang, Yanghao, Wang, Teng, Chen, Long
Abstract
Zero-shot composed image retrieval (ZS-CIR) aims to retrieve a target image by editing a reference image with a natural-language instruction, without relying on domain-specific annotated triplets. Most existing ZS-CIR methods rely on textual inversion to translate the reference image into pseudo-text tokens and then compose them with the instruction via simple concatenation in the text space, which can be lossy and brittle for fine-grained semantics. In this work, we propose a new paradigm, namely FlowCIR, that casts ZS-CIR as conditional semantic transport between reference and target embeddings. Leveraging \emph{conditional flow matching}, our model learns a lightweight transport field that maps the instruction representation toward a target-aligned query embedding conditioned on the reference image. Since FlowCIR operates on pre-extracted VLM embeddings and trains only a small transport module without updating the image or text encoder, it offers a computationally efficient training protocol compared with prior textual-inversion-based approaches. The resulting framework is training-efficient, requiring roughly $10\times$ fewer training resources than prior textual-inversion-based approaches. We further identify negation and removal as a major failure mode of VLM-based composition. To address this, we propose an inference-only Multi-Negative Steering strategy that steers a negation-containing relative instruction away from its negated semantics, mitigating the limited negation handling of VLMs and improving robustness on negation-heavy queries. Extensive experiments on standard CIR benchmarks demonstrate that FlowCIR achieves strong and competitive performance compared with recent ZS-CIR methods.

零-shot组合图像检索(ZS-CIR)旨在通过自然语言指令编辑参考图像来检索目标图像,而无需依赖于特定领域的注释三元组。现有的大多数ZS-CIR方法依赖于文本反转,将参考图像转换为伪文本标记,然后通过简单的拼接在文本空间中与指令进行组合,这对于细粒度语义可能是有损且脆弱的。在本研究中,我们提出了一种新的范式,即FlowCIR,将ZS-CIR视为参考和目标嵌入之间的条件语义传输。利用条件流匹配(conditional flow matching),我们的模型学习一个轻量级的传输场,该场将指令表示映射到基于参考图像的目标对齐查询嵌入。由于FlowCIR在预提取的VLM嵌入上操作,并且仅训练一个小型传输模块而不更新图像或文本编码器,因此与先前基于文本反转的方法相比,它提供了一种计算上高效的训练协议。所得到的框架在训练效率上表现优越,所需的训练资源大约比先前的基于文本反转的方法少$10 imes$。我们进一步识别出否定和移除是基于VLM组合的主要失败模式。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了一种仅推理的多负引导策略(Multi-Negative Steering),该策略将包含否定的相对指令引导远离其否定语义,从而减轻VLM在否定处理方面的局限性,并提高在否定重查询上的鲁棒性。在标准CIR基准上的大量实验表明,FlowCIR与近期的ZS-CIR方法相比,表现出强大且具有竞争力的性能。

Abstract
Recent image generation and editing models can produce visually appealing natural images, yet they remain unreliable when the target image is a knowledge-intensive diagram whose correctness depends on disciplinary concepts, symbolic structure, and precise spatial relations. We introduce DisciplineGen-1M, a million-scale multidisciplinary dataset that supports text-to-image generation and image editing. It contains 1.2M samples spanning mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, computer science, economics, history, music, and sports. To construct the dataset, we design a scalable framework that combines vector-graphics rendering, OCR-based editing, curated programmatic synthesis, and large-scale text-to-image filtering. These pipelines produce captions, editing instructions, structured annotations, and paired images with controllable semantic differences. Building on DisciplineGen-1M, we further introduce a discipline-informed reasoning-generation model for both text-to-image generation and image editing. Experiments on discipline-related benchmarks, GenExam and GRADE, show substantial improvements over open-source baselines, while evaluations on general reasoning-informed benchmarks, WISE and RISE, further indicate broader transfer. The results suggest that large-scale structured academic visual data is a key ingredient for moving image generation from aesthetic plausibility toward verifiable knowledge-grounded visual creation. We will publicly release our dataset, model, and source code of the data curation pipeline to ensure reproducibility and benefit future research.

Dual-Selective Network for Domain-Incremental Change Detection

双重选择网络用于领域增量变化检测
He, Yuzhi, Huang, Junxi, Wu, Haorui, Qu, Jiahui
Abstract
Domain-incremental change detection (DICD) continuously adapts models to new geographic domains while preserving prior knowledge. However, a structural mismatch exists: the label space remains fixed while domain characteristics vary drastically. Consequently, incremental models struggle to maintain stable spatial change representations across domains. Existing strategies, such as replay-based or regularization-based methods, often fail to scale to long domain sequences, leading to knowledge degradation or increased computational cost. We propose Dual-Selective Incremental Network (DSINet), a unified framework built on visual state space models. DSINet leverages Mamba's input-dependent selective mechanism through a selective spatial state unit (S3U). This unit preserves stable spatial change structures while filtering domain-specific variations during feature propagation. As a result, spatial representations remain stable across domains, preventing the accumulation of feature confusion over incremental steps. Additionally, we employ a concentration-balanced distillation (CBD) strategy to stabilize knowledge transfer across domains. It balances hardness and confidence concentration effects during incremental updates. This ensures reliable probability mass allocation and prevents over-smoothing or mode collapse during distillation. Together, these mechanisms maintain stable learning dynamics throughout incremental stages. Experimental results demonstrate that DSINet mitigates knowledge degradation across long domain sequences while maintaining the linear computational efficiency of state space models.

领域增量变化检测(DICD)在不断适应新地理领域的同时保持先前知识。然而,存在结构不匹配的问题:标签空间保持固定,而领域特征却发生剧烈变化。因此,增量模型在不同领域之间难以维持稳定的空间变化表示。现有策略,如基于重放或正则化的方法,往往无法扩展到长领域序列,导致知识退化或计算成本增加。我们提出了双重选择增量网络(DSINet),这是一个基于视觉状态空间模型的统一框架。DSINet通过选择性空间状态单元(S3U)利用Mamba的输入依赖选择机制。该单元在特征传播过程中过滤领域特定的变化,同时保持稳定的空间变化结构。因此,空间表示在不同领域之间保持稳定,防止在增量步骤中出现特征混淆的累积。此外,我们采用了集中平衡蒸馏(CBD)策略,以稳定领域间的知识转移。该策略在增量更新过程中平衡了难度和置信度集中效应。这确保了可靠的概率质量分配,并防止在蒸馏过程中出现过度平滑或模式崩溃。这些机制共同维持了增量阶段的稳定学习动态。实验结果表明,DSINet在长领域序列中减轻了知识退化,同时保持了状态空间模型的线性计算效率。

Search-based Testing of Vision Language Models for In-Car Scene Understanding

基于搜索的汽车场景理解视觉语言模型测试
Sorokin, Lev, Yang, Chen, Friedl, Ken E., Stocco, Andrea
Abstract
In the automotive domain, in-car scene understanding (ISU) enables the detection of safety-critical events, such as driver distraction, and supports drivers or passengers by analyzing the in-car scene and adapting the environment (e.g., ambient lighting). The industry is increasingly exploring vision-language models (VLMs) to interpret camera-recorded in-car scenes and extract information for downstream reasoning tasks. However, VLMs may generate incomplete, erroneous, or misleading scene descriptions, highlighting the need for systematic testing. Collecting real in-vehicle data is costly, difficult to scale, and often infeasible, particularly in early design stages. In this paper, we present ISU-Test, an automated testing approach that combines rendering-based scene generation with search-based testing to evaluate ISU systems. By framing testing as an optimization problem and systematically modifying scene parameters, our method generates diverse in-car scenarios and explores a wide range of configurations. We evaluate ISU-Test on both an industrial prototype and open-source VLMs across two case studies: question answering and captioning, comparing against randomized scenario generation. Results show that ISU-Test significantly outperforms the baseline, achieving up to 10 times higher failure rates and up to 3.6 times higher failure coverage.

InvSplat: Inverse Feed-Forward Scene Splatting

InvSplat:逆向前馈场景点云
Karpikova, Polina, Bian, Wenjing, Xu, Haofei, Lensch, Hendrik, Geiger, Andreas
Abstract
Inverse rendering aims to recover both 3D geometry and physically meaningful material properties from images, enabling applications such as relighting and novel view synthesis. Optimization-based methods achieve high fidelity but require costly per-scene fitting, while image-space learning-based approaches often suffer from multi-view inconsistencies and lack an explicit 3D representation for stable novel view rendering. We present a feed-forward multi-view reconstruction framework for inverse rendering that directly predicts a structured 3D Gaussian representation with intrinsic material attributes. Each Gaussian primitive is parameterized by mean, normal, opacity, rotation, scale, albedo, metallic, and roughness, enabling a disentangled and physically grounded scene representation. Our model integrates priors from a material estimation network with a multi-view 3D reconstruction backbone, allowing joint prediction of geometry and reflectance parameters in a single forward pass. Experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate improved multi-view consistency compared to 2D baselines, accurate material recovery, and stable novel view rendering. Our representation further supports physically-based relighting and more faithful modeling of view-dependent effects compared to existing RGB-based feed-forward reconstruction methods.

NEvo: Neural-Guided Evolutionary Video Synthesis for Dynamic Visual Selectivity

NEvo:神经引导的进化视频合成用于动态视觉选择性

Abstract
The human brain processes dynamic visual input through hierarchically organized, functionally specialized regions. While recent in silico brain encoding models can synthesize optimal stimuli to probe selectivity in different brain regions, prior work has been largely limited to static images, leaving dynamic visual processing underexplored. We introduce a novel neural-guided video synthesis framework that generates stimuli optimized for target brain regions across visual cortex. Our method performs evolutionary search over a structured prompt space, guided by a dynamic encoding model that predicts voxel-level responses to video inputs. By maximizing predicted activity for a target ROI, the framework efficiently discovers hyper-activating dynamic stimuli that consistently surpass handcrafted localizer videos. The synthesized videos recover known selectivities across ventral, dorsal, and lateral pathways, and further reveal systematic differences in sensitivity to temporal dynamics. A searchlight analysis provides new insight into the progression toward increasingly complex social-dynamic features along the lateral stream, further supported by probing with synthesized abstract, non-naturalistic stimuli. Taken together, our framework enables in silico exploration of dynamic visual selectivity, with new predictions for in vivo experiments

GAP-GDRNet: Geometry-Aware Monocular Visual Pose Sensing on a Single-Target Synthetic Spacecraft Dataset

GAP-GDRNet:基于几何感知的单目视觉姿态感知在单目标合成航天器数据集上的应用
Zhang, Yonglong, Liu, Yang
Abstract
Monocular relative pose sensing is a central perception problem in non-cooperative rendezvous and on-orbit servicing. In spacecraft images, however, weak surface texture, thin appendages, illumination changes, and partial occlusion often leave only sparse and unstable geometric evidence. This article presents GAP-GDRNet, a geometry-aware attention-enhanced framework for monocular RGB-based 6D pose sensing. The method follows the geometry-guided direct regression paradigm of GDR-Net and modifies two points in the pipeline: an attention-based feature refinement (AFR) module is placed before dense geometric prediction, and a patch-level geometric self-attention (PGSA) module is inserted into Patch-PnP. AFR reinforces global spacecraft structure together with local weak-texture cues; PGSA then relates downsampled geometric patches before final pose regression. A Blender-based annotation process supplies target masks, visible-region masks, dense model-coordinate maps, camera intrinsics, and 6D pose labels for supervised training.

VisionAId: An Offline-First Multimodal Android Assistant for People with Visual Impairment, Featuring Personalized Object Retrieval

VisionAId:一款离线优先的多模态安卓助手,旨在为视觉障碍人士提供个性化物体检索
Florea, Cristian-Gabriel, Spînu, Stelian
Abstract
Over 285 million people worldwide live with a visual impairment, for whom everyday tasks such as avoiding obstacles, locating personal belongings, recognizing familiar faces, or handling cash remain persistent obstacles to personal autonomy. Existing assistive applications are typically limited to recognizing predefined categories, depend heavily on cloud connectivity, or require dedicated hardware. We present VisionAId, an Android application that turns a commodity smartphone into a real-time visual assistant. The system integrates six on-device deep learning models (metric monocular depth estimation, instance segmentation, visual and facial embeddings, face detection, and a custom banknote detector) running entirely through ONNX Runtime, with an optional cloud large language model (Google Gemini Flash) used only for narrative scene description and automatic object labeling. A distinctive contribution is a few-shot pipeline for personal objects: the user photographs an object from several angles, and the system later locates that specific instance in the environment, guiding the user toward it with augmented-reality markers, spatial audio, and distance-proportional haptics. All feedback is multimodal (Romanian speech synthesis, voice commands, vibration). On a reference device (Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra), INT8 quantization reduces depth latency from ~1200 ms to ~491 ms, the custom banknote detector reaches an mAP@50 of 0.986, and metric depth is calibrated to below 1 cm of error within 3 m.

Learning Spectral and Polarimetric Clues for One-to-Multimodal Novel View Synthesis

学习光谱和极化线索用于单一到多模态的新视图合成
Lincetto, Federico, Agresti, Gianluca, Rossi, Mattia, Sartor, Piergiorgio, Zanuttigh, Pietro
Abstract
Neural rendering techniques allow for accurate reconstruction of the geometry and color appearance of 3D scenes. Some methods have extended their use to additional imaging modalities, such as multispectral, infrared, or polarimetric data. However, all of these approaches require expensive sensors and calibrated setups to capture new multimodal frames for each new scene. We propose Spectral and Polarimetric Implicit Learned Representation (SPoILeR), a novel method to obtain multi-view consistent renderings of unconventional modalities for scenes where either only RGB frames or very few of the additional modalities are available. Thanks to a multimodal pre-training phase, the model learns the mutual correlation between different modalities. This step allows predicting accurate renderings of unconventional modalities during a fine-tuning phase supervised only by RGB images. Experimental results show that the approach can accurately render infrared, polarimetric, and multispectral frames for scenes where no input sample captured by these types of sensors is provided.

神经渲染技术能够准确重建三维场景的几何形状和颜色外观。一些方法已将其应用扩展到额外的成像模态,如多光谱、红外或极化数据。然而,所有这些方法都需要昂贵的传感器和经过校准的设置,以捕获每个新场景的多模态新帧。我们提出了一种新方法——光谱和极化隐式学习表示(Spectral and Polarimetric Implicit Learned Representation,SPoILeR),用于在仅有RGB帧或极少额外模态可用的场景中获得多视图一致的非常规模态渲染。得益于多模态预训练阶段,模型学习了不同模态之间的相互关联。这一步骤使得在仅由RGB图像监督的微调阶段能够预测非常规模态的准确渲染。实验结果表明,该方法能够准确渲染红外、极化和多光谱帧,即使在没有由这些类型传感器捕获的输入样本的情况下。

Representation Distribution Matching for One-Step Visual Generation

用于一步视觉生成的表示分布匹配
Feng, Lan, Li, Wuyang, Zablocki, Eloi, Cord, Matthieu, Alahi, Alexandre
Abstract
We elucidate the design space of Representation Distribution Matching (RDM), our name for the paradigm that trains a one-step image generator by matching generated and reference feature distributions under frozen pretrained encoders. We identify two design axes, how the distributions are compared and the representations they are compared in, and controlled studies along them yield three findings. First, the classical MMD, which could not train convincing generators a decade ago, becomes a strong and scalable objective once estimated right. Second, the generated batch is then the operative variable, with an optimum above 2048, far beyond customary batch sizes. Third, any single representation can be gamed, driven below the real score while images stay visibly fake, so we match against a balanced battery of encoders and evaluate with SW_r14, a Sliced-Wasserstein distance over 14 encoders that is independent of the training loss and resists gaming. Combining the preferred choices yields improved RDM (iRDM): it sets the one-step state of the art on ImageNet at SW_r14 1.30, corroborated by PickScore, a human-preference proxy our objective never optimizes, which prefers it over the prior best one-step generator on 71.2% of matched samples. The same recipe post-trains the four-step FLUX.2 [klein] into a one-step generator, surpassing the four-step version on GenEval, 0.826 to 0.794, and on PickScore, 22.76 to 22.58, in 90 H200 GPU-hours.

Transformer Geometry Observatory TGO-II: Representational Similarity Observatory

变换几何观测站 TGO-II:表征相似性观测站
Kapil, Kaustubh, Upla, Kishor P.
Abstract
While Vision Transformers have achieved remarkable success across computer vision and language applications, the geometric evolution of their internal representations throughout training remains insufficiently understood. Existing analyses primarily focus on attention mechanisms and downstream performance, leaving the evolution of representation geometry largely unexplored. In this work, we present Transformer Geometry Observatory-II (TGO-II), a representation geometry analysis framework designed to investigate how Transformer representations evolve during supervised training. TGO-II analyzes Vision Transformer (ViT-Small/16) representations using Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA), Singular Vector Canonical Correlation Analysis (SVCCA), Two-Nearest Neighbor Intrinsic Dimensionality (TwoNN-ID), and token covariance analysis. Our experiments reveal three key observations. First, both CKA and SVCCA progressively decrease throughout training, indicating increasing representational specialization across Transformer layers. Second, intrinsic dimensionality consistently increases before stabilizing, suggesting progressive expansion of the representation manifold into a larger set of locally accessible degrees of freedom. Third, token covariance and coupling analyses demonstrate that strong token interaction structure persists throughout training, challenging the hypothesis that increasing representational complexity arises primarily from progressive token independence. These findings suggest that representation complexity and layer specialization emerge simultaneously during training. Manifold expansion appears to occur without token decoupling. Together, these observations motivate a new hypothesis in which Vision Transformers increase representational complexity through progressively richer transformations while preserving strong token interaction structure during learning.

尽管视觉变换器在计算机视觉和语言应用中取得了显著成功,但其内部表征在训练过程中的几何演变仍然未得到充分理解。现有分析主要集中在注意力机制和下游性能上,导致表征几何的演变大多未被探索。在本研究中,我们提出了变换几何观测站-II (TGO-II),这是一个旨在研究变换器表征在监督训练过程中如何演变的表征几何分析框架。TGO-II 使用中心核对齐 (Centered Kernel Alignment, CKA)、奇异向量典型相关分析 (Singular Vector Canonical Correlation Analysis, SVCCA)、双最近邻内在维度 (Two-Nearest Neighbor Intrinsic Dimensionality, TwoNN-ID) 和标记协方差分析来分析视觉变换器 (Vision Transformer, ViT-Small/16) 的表征。我们的实验揭示了三个关键观察结果。首先,CKA 和 SVCCA 在训练过程中逐渐下降,表明变换器层之间的表征专业化程度在不断增加。其次,内在维度在稳定之前持续增加,表明表征流形逐渐扩展到更大的一组局部可访问的自由度。第三,标记协方差和耦合分析表明,强标记交互结构在整个训练过程中持续存在,这挑战了表征复杂性主要源于标记独立性逐渐增加的假设。这些发现表明,表征复杂性和层专业化在训练过程中同时出现。流形扩展似乎在没有标记解耦的情况下发生。这些观察结果共同激发了一个新假设,即视觉变换器通过逐步丰富的变换来增加表征复杂性,同时在学习过程中保持强标记交互结构。

Show Me Examples: Inferring Visual Concepts from Image Sets

展示示例:从图像集合中推断视觉概念
Stracke, Nick, Bauer, Kolja, Baumann, Stefan Andreas, Bautista, Miguel Angel, Susskind, Josh, Ommer, Björn
Abstract
Vision-language models (VLMs) can follow complex textual instructions, yet they struggle to reason from purely visual context. In particular, current models fail to infer shared concepts from sets of example images and apply them to new inputs. We introduce Visual Concept Inference from Sets (VICIS), a task that evaluates this capability. Given a small context set of images sharing a concept and a query image, the model must generate new images that preserve the context-defined concept while remaining consistent with the query. We show that state-of-the-art VLMs perform poorly on this task, often ignoring the visual context or defaulting to biased generations. To address this gap, we propose a training framework and architecture that learn to infer visual concepts from image sets and extract concept-specific embeddings from queries. Experiments on synthetic data and large-scale ImageNet/WordNet data show that our model generates more accurate and diverse outputs and generalizes to unseen concepts and modalities such as sketches.

Object-centric LeJEPA

面向对象的LeJEPA
Geusen, Jakob, Konukoglu, Ender
Abstract
Image encoders trained with LeJEPA can deliver strong features for downstream tasks, but, like other image-level self-supervised methods, typically require large training datasets. Aligning representations at the level of objects rather than whole scenes promises greater data efficiency, but doing this in a completely self-supervised way, effectively jointly partitioning a scene and representing its objects, is unstable: the two are locked in a cyclic dependency, partitioning requires meaningful representations, while meaningful representations require consistent partitioning. We sidestep this instability by taking object masks as given during training, using cheap, off-the-shelf SAM proposals. We extend LeJEPA - whose distributional anti-collapse objective ports naturally from whole images to variable-sized sets of objects - to align object-centric representations rather than whole images. An additional instance-separating loss, which treats other objects in the same scene as negatives, further boosts downstream performance. Across two model scales and 10-100% of COCO, object-level LeJEPA outperforms image-level LeJEPA on tracking (DAVIS), classification (ImageNet-1k), segmentation (ADE20k), and re-identification (NAVI).

使用LeJEPA训练的图像编码器能够为下游任务提供强大的特征,但与其他图像级自监督方法一样,通常需要大量的训练数据集。在对象层面而非整个场景对齐表示,承诺提供更高的数据效率,但以完全自监督的方式实现这一点,即有效地共同划分场景并表示其对象,是不稳定的:两者存在循环依赖,划分需要有意义的表示,而有意义的表示又需要一致的划分。我们通过在训练过程中将对象掩码视为给定,使用廉价的现成SAM提案,来规避这种不稳定性。我们扩展了LeJEPA——其分布式反崩溃目标自然地从整个图像迁移到可变大小的对象集合——以对齐面向对象的表示,而不是整个图像。一个额外的实例分离损失,将同一场景中的其他对象视为负样本,进一步提升了下游性能。在两个模型规模和10-100%的COCO数据集上,面向对象的LeJEPA在跟踪(DAVIS)、分类(ImageNet-1k)、分割(ADE20k)和重识别(NAVI)任务中均优于图像级LeJEPA。

Wavelet-Guided Semantic Signal Compensation for Inversion-Free Image Editing

基于小波引导的无反演图像编辑语义信号补偿
Tang, Anqi, Sun, Wenhao, Liu, Zhaoqiang
Abstract
Text-guided image editing aims to modify visual content according to a target prompt while preserving the background. Recent inversion-free image editing frameworks such as FlowEdit have demonstrated strong editing capability without requiring inversion. Empirically, FlowEdit can achieve substantial semantic changes under appropriate hyperparameter settings. However, we observe that under certain global attribute shifts, the editing trajectory may not effectively move away from the source distribution in the early timesteps. Our analysis suggests that in the high-noise regime, the dominant manifold-seeking flow toward the data manifold can reduce the influence of the text-conditioned direction, leading to limited global modification while background structures remain only moderately preserved. Inspired by this observation, we propose an inversion-free, frequency-aware semantic compensation strategy that strengthens the effective signal in the early stage of generation, while maintaining structural consistency in the background. The proposed method improves global editing capacity without sacrificing background fidelity.

Learning to Evolve Scenes: Reasoning about Human Activities with Scene Graphs

学习演变场景:基于场景图推理人类活动
Pistilli, Francesca, Peirone, Simone Alberto, Averta, Giuseppe
Abstract
Understanding human behavior while interacting with the surrounding world is crucial for many applications of embodied AI. First-person videos are particularly informative for this problem, as they well capture how activities reshape the scene over time. However, existing approaches often rely on implicit visual or language-aligned representations, disregarding structured reasoning over the scene dynamic. We argue that explicit, compositional and editable representations of human-environment interactions can play a crucial role for rich grounded activity understanding. To this end, we introduce SG-Ego, a large scale annotation set extending Ego4D with spatio-temporal scene graphs, where relations triplets are consolidated over time into explicit time-evolving descriptions of the scene state. To reason over this representation, we propose GLEN, a graph-based model that operates over scene graph sequences to both align them with textual actions and model their temporal evolution. In addition, we formulate the activity-driven graph-edit forecasting (A-GEF) problem, a novel task that casts scene dynamics as a sequence of structured transformations conditioned on ongoing actions, enabling explicit reasoning about how scenes change over time. We validate our approach across multiple downstream tasks, spanning retrieval benchmarks as EgoMCQ and EgoCVR, as well as long-horizon reasoning benchmarks as EXPLORE-Bench and the newly introduced A-GEF. GLEN achieves strong results compared to raw video baselines and it excels in reasoning settings, typically addressed only with MLLMs, while enabling controllable and structured predictions of scene dynamics driven by human activities. We believe our results establish spatio-temporal scene graphs, together with models that reason over them, as strong compositional and interpretable representations for video understanding and potentially beyond.

MARVEL: Margin-Aware Robust von Mises-Fischer Expert Learning for Long-Tailed Out-of-Distribution Detection

MARVEL:基于边际感知的鲁棒 von Mises-Fischer 专家学习用于长尾分布外检测
Anudeep, A. S., Sundaresan, Vaanathi
Abstract
For clinical deployment, it is essential that automated diagnostic systems remain reliable when confronted with previously unseen cases, yet deep models routinely misclassify out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs with high confidence, underscoring the need for more robust OOD detection methods. Although substantial effort has been devoted to improving model robustness, most of the existing literature assumes balanced datasets, evaluates OOD detection on coarse or non-clinical OOD sources, or lacks comprehensive assessment across diverse OOD scenarios. To address the gaps, we propose a novel methodology trained on diverse and imbalanced medical datasets and evaluated across a clinically reflective OOD spectrum. Our framework comprises three key components: (1) a Nonlinear von Mises-Fisher (NvMF) classifier capable of learning non-linear decision boundaries, with theoretical proof of its asymptotic connection to cosine classifiers; (2) a multi-expert framework in which margin-aware NvMF classifiers specialise in different regions of label distribution to better handle imbalance; and (3) an outlier expert trained explicitly to distinguish inlier from outlier data, thereby strengthening OOD detection. Evaluation on RFMiD, ISIC2019, and NCTCRC datasets demonstrates consistent improvements over state-of-the-art methods, achieving mean FPR95 reductions of 8.45%, 13.02%, and 36.90% respectively. These gains are further supported by comprehensive ablations that validated the contributions of each component. This enables reliable identification of unfamiliar cases for deferral to clinicians, supporting safer AI-assisted diagnosis in real-world workflows.

OrbitQuant: Data-Agnostic Quantization for Image and Video Diffusion Transformers

OrbitQuant:图像和视频扩散变换器的数据无关量化
Lee, Donghyun, Chavan, Jitesh, Nguyen, Duy, Huang, Sam, Jiang, Liming, Panda, Priyadarshini, Mertens, Timo, Shukla, Saurabh
Abstract
Diffusion transformers (DiTs) achieve state-of-the-art image and video generation, but their multi-step sampling and growing parameter count make inference expensive. Post-training quantization (PTQ) is the natural remedy, yet DiT activations shift across timesteps, prompts, and guidance branches, forcing prior methods to re-fit calibration data for every new checkpoint or modality. We present OrbitQuant, a data-agnostic weight-activation quantizer that bypasses range estimation by quantizing in a normalized, rotated basis. In this basis, a randomized permuted block-Hadamard (RPBH) rotation concentrates each coordinate around one fixed, known marginal regardless of the input, so a single Lloyd-Max codebook serves all timesteps, prompts, and layers of a given input dimension. We extend the same quantizer to weight rows offline, absorbing the rotation into the weights so that it cancels inside each linear layer and only a forward rotation on the activations remains at runtime. The same recipe transfers from image to video with no per-modality tuning. Across FLUX.1, Z-Image-Turbo, Wan 2.1, and CogVideoX, it sets the state of the art for PTQ at several low-bit settings. It also pushes PTQ of image diffusion transformers to W2A4 with usable generation quality.

Interpretation-Oriented Cloud Removal via Observation-Anchored Residual Flow with Geo-Contextual Alignment

面向解释的云去除:基于观测锚定残差流与地理上下文对齐
Wang, Ziyao, Wang, Maonan, He, Yucheng, Ma, Xianping, Wang, Ziyi, Zhang, Hongyang, Cheng, Yirong, Pun, Man-on
Abstract
Cloud removal (CR) is essential for optical remote sensing, serving as a prerequisite for reliable downstream interpretation, such as semantic segmentation and change detection. However, existing CR approaches often prioritize visual realism while overlooking their impact on subsequent analytical tasks, leading to semantic drift and degraded downstream performance. To address this issue, we propose Geo-Anchored Cloud Removal (GACR), a unified framework that jointly ensures faithful reconstruction and robust interpretability. At its core, GACR incorporates Observation-Anchored Residual Flow (OAR-Flow), which reformulates CR as a physically grounded residual inversion process. By anchoring the generative trajectory to the cloudy observation rather than pure noise, OAR-Flow enables fast, stable, and faithful reconstruction. To further preserve semantic structures critical for downstream interpretation, GACR integrates Geo-Contextual Prior Alignment (GCPA) to constrain the reconstruction within a semantic manifold induced by a Vision Foundation Model (VFM). Consequently, GACR strictly maintains the spatial-semantic integrity of complex landscapes. Extensive experiments across six CR datasets and twelve downstream tasks demonstrate that GACR produces superior reconstruction quality while consistently improving downstream task accuracy. The code is available at https://github.com/wzy6055/GACR.

EAGLE-360: Embodied Active Global-to-Local Exploration in 360$^\circ$

EAGLE-360:360$^ ext{°}$中具身主动的全局到局部探索
Xu, Jingtao, Lin, Zizhuo, Sun, Jianwen, Yang, Yi, Luo, Yawei
Abstract
While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in standard visual understanding, adapting them for active visual search in 360$^\circ$ panoramic environments exposes fundamental limitations. Specifically, standard MLLMs struggle to effectively model inherent panoramic properties, such as severe polar distortion and continuous cylindrical topologies, which significantly degrades target detection accuracy. Consequently, existing panoramic search methods attempt to compensate by relying heavily on fragmented local viewpoints. Burdened by rigid initialization and a lack of global panoramic priors, these approaches suffer from myopic, inefficient exploration and struggle with robust error recovery when targets are out of view. To overcome these challenges, we propose EAGLE-360, a novel Embodied Active Global-to-Local Exploration framework. Rather than performing exhaustive local searches, EAGLE-360 leverages global priors to establish an initial holistic perspective, iteratively reasoning and progressively narrowing the search space. Architecturally, we adapt RoPE Rolling, a coordinate-shifting positional encoding mechanism, to seamlessly model the continuous topologies of panoramas. To facilitate this paradigm, we construct the large-scale EAGLE-360 dataset, comprising 14,000+ 4K panoramas and 70,000+ rounds of high-quality VQA dialogues. By employing a training pipeline that integrates Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) with Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), we effectively elicit complex spatial reasoning and tool-calling capabilities.

尽管多模态大型语言模型(MLLMs)在标准视觉理解方面表现出色,但将其适应于360$^ ext{°}$全景环境中的主动视觉搜索却暴露出基本的局限性。具体而言,标准的MLLMs难以有效建模固有的全景特性,如严重的极地失真和连续的圆柱形拓扑,这显著降低了目标检测的准确性。因此,现有的全景搜索方法试图通过严重依赖碎片化的局部视点来进行补偿。由于受到刚性初始化和缺乏全局全景先验的困扰,这些方法在探索时往往目光短浅且效率低下,并且在目标超出视野时难以进行稳健的错误恢复。为了解决这些挑战,我们提出了EAGLE-360,一个新颖的具身主动全局到局部探索框架。EAGLE-360并不进行详尽的局部搜索,而是利用全局先验建立初始的整体视角,迭代推理并逐步缩小搜索空间。在架构上,我们调整了RoPE Rolling,一种坐标转换的位置编码机制,以无缝建模全景的连续拓扑。为了促进这一范式,我们构建了大规模的EAGLE-360数据集,包含14,000多个4K全景图和70,000多轮高质量的视觉问答对话。通过采用将监督微调(SFT)与组相对策略优化(GRPO)相结合的训练流程,我们有效引发了复杂的空间推理和工具调用能力。大量实验表明,EAGLE-360在360$^ ext{°}$视觉搜索中建立了新的最先进水平,相较于基础模型,准确性几乎提高了8倍,同时显著增强了探索效率。

Combating Textual Noise and Redundancy: Entropy-Aware Dense Visual Token Pruning

应对文本噪声和冗余:基于熵的稠密视觉标记剪枝
Wang, Xuehui, Yang, Xuankun, Shen, Wei
Abstract
Visual token pruning is a crucial strategy for accelerating VLMs by compressing redundant image patches, yet existing methods often fail to preserve critical cues under dense instructions and fine-grained queries. In this paper, we investigate this failure and identify two underlying bottlenecks: the widespread dispersion of textual noise that corrupts dense cross-modal scoring, and the feature fragmentation inherent to standard token selection. To address these issues, we propose Entropy-Aware Dense Pruning (EADP), a framework that reformulates pruning as a structured compression problem. EADP first leverages statistical entropy to quantify and filter out textual noise, yielding a robust, fine-grained instruction relevance score. Subsequently, instead of naive Top-K selection, EADP casts token selection as a submodular maximization problem with a spatial prior, explicitly ensuring a holistic and non-redundant visual representation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that EADP improves the accuracy-efficiency trade-off of VLMs, robustly preserving fine-grained visual cues under strict token budgets while achieving SoTA performance on challenging multimodal benchmarks.

视觉标记剪枝是通过压缩冗余图像块来加速视觉语言模型(VLMs)的关键策略,但现有方法往往未能在密集指令和细粒度查询下保留关键线索。本文探讨了这一失败,并识别出两个潜在瓶颈:广泛存在的文本噪声分散,破坏了密集的跨模态评分,以及标准标记选择固有的特征碎片化。为了解决这些问题,我们提出了基于熵的稠密剪枝(Entropy-Aware Dense Pruning, EADP),一个将剪枝重新构建为结构化压缩问题的框架。EADP首先利用统计熵来量化和过滤文本噪声,从而产生一个稳健的细粒度指令相关性评分。随后,EADP将标记选择视为一个具有空间先验的子模最大化问题,而不是简单的Top-K选择,明确确保了整体和非冗余的视觉表示。大量实验表明,EADP改善了VLMs的准确性与效率的权衡,在严格的标记预算下稳健地保留细粒度视觉线索,同时在具有挑战性的多模态基准测试中实现了最先进的性能。

GeoMix: Descriptor-Free Visual Localization via Global Context and Multi-Detector Training

GeoMix:通过全球上下文和多检测器训练实现无描述符视觉定位
Zhang, Yejun, Wang, Xinjue, Wang, Zihan, Rahtu, Esa, Kannala, Juho
Abstract
Descriptor-free visual localization eliminates high-dimensional descriptor storage, preserves scene privacy, and simplifies map maintenance, yet its accuracy still lags far behind descriptor-based pipelines. We identify this gap to insufficient geometric discriminability in geometry-only matching. Without visual appearance, current methods underutilize local geometry cues, lack the global context among keypoints, and overfit to a single keypoint detector. We further observe that descriptor-free matching naturally enables multi-detector training, as heterogeneous keypoints can be optimized in a shared geometry-only space without aligning descriptor spaces. Building on these insights, we propose GeoMix, a descriptor-free 2D-3D matching framework that strengthens geometric discriminability at three levels. Locally, directional and distance-aware embeddings enrich neighborhood aggregation with fine-grained spatial structure. Globally, learnable context nodes aggregate and redistribute scene-wide information via cross-attention to resolve ambiguities beyond local receptive fields. At the training level, Mix-Training exploits this detector-agnostic geometry space to learn representations across multiple keypoint detectors. Extensive experiments on MegaDepth, Cambridge Landmarks, 7Scenes, and Aachen Day-Night show that GeoMix sets a new state of the art among descriptor-free methods, reducing 75th-percentile rotation error by 89\% and translation error by up to 90\% over the previous best, while generalizing zero-shot to unseen detectors and narrowing the gap to descriptor-based pipelines.

无描述符视觉定位消除了高维描述符存储,保护了场景隐私,并简化了地图维护,但其准确性仍远远落后于基于描述符的管道。我们发现这一差距源于仅依赖几何匹配的几何可区分性不足。在没有视觉外观的情况下,当前方法未能充分利用局部几何线索,缺乏关键点之间的全局上下文,并且过度拟合于单一关键点检测器。我们进一步观察到,无描述符匹配自然支持多检测器训练,因为异构关键点可以在共享的仅几何空间中优化,而无需对齐描述符空间。基于这些见解,我们提出了GeoMix,这是一种无描述符的2D-3D匹配框架,在三个层面上增强几何可区分性。在局部层面,方向和距离感知嵌入通过细粒度空间结构丰富邻域聚合。在全局层面,可学习的上下文节点通过交叉注意力聚合和重新分配全场景信息,以解决超出局部感受野的歧义。在训练层面,Mix-Training利用这一与检测器无关的几何空间,在多个关键点检测器之间学习表示。在MegaDepth、Cambridge Landmarks、7Scenes和Aachen Day-Night上的大量实验表明,GeoMix在无描述符方法中设定了新的最先进水平,将第75百分位旋转误差降低了89 ext{ extperthousand},平移误差降低了高达90 ext{ extperthousand},同时在零样本情况下对未见检测器进行泛化,并缩小了与基于描述符的管道之间的差距。代码可在$ ext{this links} ext{https://github.com/YejunZhang/Geomix}$获取。

Towards Robustness against Typographic Attack with Training-free Concept Localization

针对排版攻击的鲁棒性:无训练概念定位方法
Liu, Bohan, Ye, Wenqian, Xiong, Guangzhi, He, Zhenghao, Sinha, Sanchit, Zhang, Aidong
Abstract
Models trained via Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) serve as the foundational vision encoders for most modern Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs). Despite their widespread adoption, CLIP models exhibit a critical yet underexplored failure mode: irrelevant text appearing within images confounds visual representations, biasing them toward lexical meaning rather than true visual semantics. This robustness issue, commonly described as a Typographic Attack (TA), exposes a vulnerability that poses a significant risk to safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving. To achieve interpretable and effective robustness against TA, we propose a novel, training-free mechanistic interpretability method. Our method provides sampling-based interpretations of hidden state representations and quantitatively attributes semantic versus lexical focus to individual attention heads. Through probabilistic analysis and circuit mining, we isolate specific Vision Transformer (ViT) components that disproportionately encode lexical information, thereby identifying the mechanistic source of TA. We further show that simple interventions applied directly to the identified circuits, without any additional training, can substantially improve robustness against Typographic Attacks in object classification. These interventions, such as selective adjustment of attention weights, also outperform both supervised and training-free defense methods. Our experiments demonstrate that applying the proposed intervention to the vision encoders of several state-of-the-art LVLMs yields substantial gains in Visual Question Answering accuracy under Typographic Attack interference on RIO-Bench. These results confirm both the efficacy and the generalizability of our mechanistic approach. Code is released at https://github.com/Liu-524/SamplingTAR.

Seek to Segment: Active Perception for Panoramic Referring Segmentation

寻求分割:全景指称分割的主动感知
Tang, Song, Hu, Shuming, Shuai, Xincheng, Ding, Henghui, Jiang, Yu-Gang
Abstract
Existing referring segmentation models passively process static images captured from fixed perspectives, limiting their applicability in Embodied AI, where agents must perform active perception in the continuous 360$^\circ$ environments. To bridge this gap, we introduce a novel task: Active Panoramic Referring Segmentation (APRS). In this setting, an agent is required to adjust its viewing direction ($\Delta\theta, \Delta\phi$) to explore the 360$^\circ$ environment, seeking the object specified by a user instruction for segmentation. To tackle this challenging task, we propose PanoSeeker, a memory-augmented agent for efficient APRS. Rather than relying on heuristic scanning, PanoSeeker integrates a Vision-Language Model (VLM) with EgoSphere, an explicit spatial visual memory. By progressively integrating sequential local observations into a unified 360$^\circ$ representation, EgoSphere enables the agent to plan efficient and non-redundant search trajectories. Once the target is found, the agent performs active viewpoint alignment and outputs the segmentation mask. Furthermore, we curate an expert-annotated search trajectory dataset with memory timelines for Supervised Fine-Tuning, followed by Reinforcement Learning post-training to explicitly optimize PanoSeeker's exploration efficiency. Extensive experiments on our newly established APRS benchmark demonstrate that PanoSeeker achieves superior search efficiency and segmentation accuracy, significantly outperforming adapted state-of-the-art baselines.

From SRA to Self-Flow: Data Augmentation or Self-Supervision?

从 SRA 到 Self-Flow:数据增强还是自我监督?
Jiang, Dengyang, Wang, Mengmeng, Yang, Harry, Wang, Jingdong
Abstract
Representation alignment has become an effective way to accelerate diffusion transformer training and improve generation quality. Recent self-alignment methods, such as SRA and Self-Flow, further remove the dependency on external pretrained encoders by constructing alignment within the diffusion model itself. However, the mechanism behind the improvement from SRA to Self-Flow, dual-time scheduling, remains under-examined: Self-Flow attributes its gain to interactions between tokens at different noise levels, where cleaner tokens help infer noisier ones. In this work, we revisit this explanation and ask whether the gain instead comes from data augmentation along the noise dimension. To disentangle these factors, we introduce Attention Separation, which preserves the same dual-timestep input as Self-Flow while blocking attention between tokens assigned to different noise levels. Surprisingly, removing such interaction does not degrade performance and can even improve it, suggesting that the improvement from SRA to Self-Flow mainly comes from data augmentation. Furthermore,We show that Attention Separation itself provides an augmentation effect by splitting a single image into multiple effective training parts to expand the training data. Based on these observations, we combine self-representation alignment with dual-timestep and attention-separation augmentation, and demonstrate the effectiveness of this design on ImageNet.

Abstract
State-of-the-art single-image 3D reconstruction methods often rely on complex hybrid architectures and loss functions, or compress geometry into latent spaces in order to leverage pre-trained latent diffusion models. In this work, we show that such architectural overhead and intricate loss formulations are unnecessary. We introduce a minimalist pixel-space Diffusion Transformer, built on a plain ViT, that operates directly on raw 3D point map patches and is conditioned on image tokens from a pre-trained DINOv3. Unlike existing latent diffusion approaches, we train our diffusion backbone entirely from scratch, eliminating the need for point map tokenizers. Despite its simplicity, our approach surpasses complex latent-based diffusion models while remaining significantly simpler than hybrid alternatives. Notably, it produces sharper geometric structure and is more robust in highly ambiguous regions, such as transparent objects.

Alignment Is All You Need For X-to-4D Generation

对齐是实现 X 到 4D 生成的关键
Miao, Qiaowei, Li, Kehan, Luo, Yawei, Yang, Yi
Abstract
Generative diffusion models excel at synthesizing high-quality images, videos, and 3D content under multimodal control. However, arbitrary user-defined modality-to-4D (X-to-4D) generation remains challenging due to the high cost of constructing diverse datasets and the limited scalability of existing methods. This paper presents Align4D, a flexible framework that translates any-modal input into coherent video-3D pairs, using video to guide 4D motion and 3D data to shape 4D geometry. Align4D introduces three key techniques: (1) Object Distance Alignment, which searches Video-Aligned and Multiview-Aligned Object Distances (VAOD/MAOD), respectively, to reconcile 4D renderings with video and the priors of multiview diffusion models; (2) Motion-Geometry Joint Alignment, which constrains known and unknown views through synchronized video and 3D inputs, ensuring consistent 4D generation; and (3) Asynchronous Optimization, which decouples Gaussian attribute and deformation network training to enhance motion and geometry fidelity. We further propose the X4D dataset, which integrates prompt, image, video, and 3D data for benchmarking. Experiments on X4D and Consistent4D demonstrate that Align4D achieves state-of-the-art quality and consistency in X-to-4D generation. Project page: https://miaoqiaowei.github.io/Align4D/.

Abstract
We present WorldDirector, a highly controllable video world model framework designed for persistent dynamic object memory and unrestricted viewpoint exploration. Unlike existing world models that entangle physical dynamics with pixel rendering and rely on continuous visual observation to sustain motion, our framework explicitly decouples semantic motion orchestration from visual generation. By leveraging an LLM to coordinate 3D trajectories with camera movements and subsequently employing these orchestrated trajectories as control signals for video generation, our approach ensures strict physical logic and appearance stability, successfully preserving the exact visual identities of dynamic entities even when they re-enter the scene after prolonged periods out of view. Experimental results demonstrate that our method supports the synthesis of complex and extended events with unprecedented controllability and persistent dynamic object memory.

PACE: A Neuro-Symbolic Framework for Plausible and Actionable Counterfactual Explanations

PACE:一种用于合理且可操作的反事实解释的神经符号框架
Iakovets, Pavel, Samarathunga, Liyanapathiranage Sudeepika Wajirakumari, Horsch, Martin Thomas, Machot, Fadi Al
Abstract
Counterfactual explanations explain machine learning predictions by identifying minimal input changes that would alter a model's decision. Although many existing methods successfully generate prediction-changing alternatives, they often produce unrealistic or infeasible recommendations due to a lack of explicit mechanisms for incorporating domain knowledge and intervention constraints. Neuro-symbolic AI offers a promising direction by combining data-driven predictive models with symbolic reasoning capable of representing human-understandable rules and feasible actions. This paper presents PACE, a modular neuro-symbolic framework for generating feasibility-aware counterfactual explanations. The framework separates prediction and reasoning into two components: a neural predictive model for classification and a symbolic reasoning layer that enforces domain-specific constraints during counterfactual generation. By explicitly modeling feasible interventions, the framework produces explanations consistent with domain knowledge while remaining interpretable and actionable. The approach is model-agnostic and adaptable to domains requiring realistic decision support. A case study is conducted on the Adult Income dataset, combining a multilayer perceptron classifier with Answer Set Programming (ASP) rules encoding feasible modifications to education, occupation, and working hours while preserving immutable attributes. Results highlight the trade-off between counterfactual validity and plausibility and show that symbolic constraints yield explanations that better satisfy domain-specific feasibility requirements, illustrating the potential of neuro-symbolic methods for transparent, feasibility-aware counterfactual explanation in explainable AI.

Auto-FL-Research: Agentic Search for Federated Learning Algorithms

Auto-FL-Research:联邦学习算法的自主搜索
Roth, Holger R., Xu, Ziyue, Chen, Chester, Xu, Daguang, Cnudde, Peter, Feng, Andrew
Abstract
Federated learning (FL) research often depends on many small but consequential algorithmic choices: optimizer variants, server aggregation rules, local training schedules, normalization, regularization, and model architecture. These choices are expensive to explore manually and difficult to compare fairly when candidate changes can also alter the FL training or evaluation path. In this work, we present Auto-FL-Research (AFR), a constrained coding-agent workflow for FL algorithmic recipe search. Agents may propose and implement candidate training algorithms, including server aggregation rules, client update schedules, local objectives, and registered model variants, while task profiles fix the mutation surface, compute budget, communication contract, and final model evaluation. Each campaign records candidate scores, runtime, edited files, artifacts, and failure status. We evaluate AFR on five healthcare cross-silo FLamby tasks and on grouped-client profiles for the five fixed LEAF datasets plus the LEAF synthetic task. Five-seed repeat evaluations support gains on four FLamby tasks and five of six LEAF profiles, while also exposing seed-sensitive and search-selected failure cases. Same-budget controls show that several gains correspond to FL-recipe changes, whereas other improvements are recovered by fixed-surface scalar controls or fail under repeat or held-out evaluation. These mixed outcomes are part of the contribution: they show how agent-generated candidates can be separated into repeated FL mechanisms, fixed-surface tuning effects, and selected single-run artifacts.

Agent4cs: A Multi-agent System for Code Summarization in Large Hierarchical Codebases

Agent4cs:一个用于大型层次代码库的代码摘要多代理系统
Tang, Yongjian, Sarikayak, Ezgi, Tuncel, Doruk, Zhang, Jie M., Runkler, Thomas
Abstract
Understanding large, complex codebases, especially those with obfuscated structures and incomplete documentation, remains a significant challenge. Existing code summarization solutions often rely on a single language model or coding assistant like Claude Code, and treat source code as flat text, underutilizing the rich interdependencies and hierarchical information within a repository. To address these shortcomings, we propose Agent4cs - a multi-agent framework that summarizes large codebases in a bottom-up fashion, where a summarization agent focuses on producing robust summaries; a keyword-extraction agent proactively identifies critical information from subfolders; and a quality-assurance agent iteratively refines the outputs for readability, coherence, and completeness. Evaluated on 7 frontier models, Agent4cs improves semantic consistency across all folder levels by average 8% compared to two structured prompting baselines with code segments.

When Should Service Agents Reconsider? Difficulty-Routed Control in Customer-Service Operations

服务代理何时应重新考虑?客户服务操作中的难度导向控制
Chen, Qian, Liu, Chengyuan, Yu, Xin
Abstract
Autonomous customer-service agents are shifting from conversational interfaces toward operational execution roles: they retrieve firm records, apply service policies, and execute backend writes such as refunds, cancellations, exchanges, order modifications, and reservation changes. This shift creates a service-control problem: firms must keep routine service fast and low-friction while preventing operational errors on requests where customer instructions, policy constraints, firm records, and backend writes interact. We propose a difficulty-routed service-control architecture that asks when service agents should reconsider before acting. A lightweight router keeps routine sessions on a low-cost baseline path and routes operationally coupled sessions to an escalated workflow. The escalated path uses conflict-aware communication and write-triggered reconsideration to concentrate deliberation and safeguards before consequential backend writes, rather than applying additional control uniformly across all service sessions. We evaluate the architecture on human-verified retail and airline tasks from $\tau^{2}$-bench. In retail, the method improves reliability consistently on service requests with operational conflict. Routing evidence shows that stronger control is directed toward conflicted requests rather than broadly applied to routine ones. Dialogue and tool-use profiles suggest that gains do not come from indiscriminate interaction expansion or broader tool chains; instead, added turns and tool calls support evidence gathering, write separation, and pre-write reconsideration. Case-level evidence shows that the escalated workflow preserves fallback plans, binds retrieved records to the correct action, sequences writes, and decomposes multi-entity requests. Airline results extend the same service-control logic to reservation operations.

自主客户服务代理正在从对话界面转向操作执行角色:它们检索公司记录,应用服务政策,并执行后端操作,如退款、取消、交换、订单修改和预订变更。这一转变带来了服务控制问题:公司必须在保持常规服务快速和低摩擦的同时,防止在客户指令、政策限制、公司记录和后端操作之间相互作用的请求中出现操作错误。我们提出了一种难度导向的服务控制架构,旨在确定服务代理在行动前何时应重新考虑。一种轻量级路由器将常规会话保持在低成本的基线路径上,并将操作相关的会话路由到升级的工作流程。升级路径使用冲突感知通信和写入触发的重新考虑,以集中审议和保障措施在重要的后端写入之前,而不是在所有服务会话中均匀地应用额外控制。我们在经过人工验证的零售和航空任务上评估了该架构,数据来自$ au^{2}$-bench。在零售中,该方法在具有操作冲突的服务请求上始终提高了可靠性。路由证据表明,较强的控制被指向冲突请求,而不是广泛应用于常规请求。对话和工具使用的分析表明,收益并非来自于无差别的交互扩展或更广泛的工具链;相反,增加的回合和工具调用支持证据收集、写入分离和写入前重新考虑。案例级证据表明,升级的工作流程保留了后备计划,将检索的记录绑定到正确的操作,序列化写入,并分解多实体请求。航空结果将相同的服务控制逻辑扩展到预订操作。

CreativityNeuro: Steering Language Model Weights to Improve Divergent Thinking and Reduce Mode Collapse

CreativityNeuro:引导语言模型权重以改善发散性思维并减少模式崩溃
Schapiro, Samuel, Park, Core Francisco, Sosa, Felix, Varshney, Lav R.
Abstract
Divergent thinking is a crucial aspect of creativity, yet large language models (LLMs) tend to consistently generate similar responses to open-ended questions, in what has been termed the artificial hivemind effect. Here, we introduce CreativityNeuro, a data-free method for enhancing divergent thinking in LLMs via contrastive weight steering. We evaluate our method across multiple creativity assessments and report several main findings. On the Divergent Association Task (DAT), a vocabulary-space creativity test, CreativityNeuro improves performance by up to 14 human percentile points. Next, in a large-scale human evaluation (N=720) on the Alternative Uses Test (AUT) and the Task Task, CreativityNeuro achieves significant improvements in originality, surprise, and creativity, transferring to longer-form and more open-ended tasks. Importantly, we find that across all three tasks, CreativityNeuro demonstrably reduces measures of mode collapse. Moreover, activation steering achieves comparable performance to CreativityNeuro on the DAT, but it does not transfer to the AUT and Task Task, demonstrating the effectiveness of weight-space steering in generalizing to unseen tasks. In conclusion, CreativityNeuro improves divergent thinking and reduces mode collapse without requiring behavioral data, re-training, or gradient-based fine-tuning, providing a straightforward way to enhance LLM performance in creative domains.

Discrete Diffusion Language Models for Interactive Radiology Report Drafting

用于交互式放射学报告草拟的离散扩散语言模型
Van Puyvelde, Max, Gulluk, Halil Ibrahim, Van Criekinge, Wim, Gevaert, Olivier
Abstract
Diffusion language models, which generate text by denoising a token canvas bidirectionally instead of emitting tokens left to right, have become competitive with autoregressive (AR) generation. Medical foundation models, however, remain almost entirely autoregressive. We adapt a mixture-of-experts diffusion language model, DiffusionGemma-26B, and benchmark it against its same-size AR sibling Gemma-4-26B under an identical LoRA recipe on medical visual question answering datasets, scored by a verbosity-robust LLM judge. Diffusion matches or exceeds AR on all of them, and the finetuned model (3.8B active) is competitive with frontier vision-language models; its decoding is also 3.5-4.4x faster. Beyond this parity, the diffusion model offers a drafting capability AR lacks: any-order infill. Because the canvas is denoised bidirectionally, a radiologist can fix report fragments and have the model fill the text between them, an operation inherent to diffusion but not to autoregression, which is subpar at it. This suits real reports, which are often terse or inconsistent across clinicians and institutions.

Beyond Next-Token Prediction: An RLVR Proof of Concept for Tool-Use Agents on Atlassian Workflows

超越下一个标记预测:针对Atlassian工作流工具使用代理的RLVR概念验证
Vissa, Karthikeya Aditya, Mane, Sankalp, Mantravadi, Ananya, Rajgarhia, Harshit, Mukherji, Abhishek
Abstract
Large language models are trained to predict the next token, not to act inside a specific API. In niche enterprise SaaS workflows -- where success means hitting the right endpoint with the right nested arguments in the right order -- this objective mismatch shows up as silent failures: dropped required fields, hallucinated tools, or early stops after a single read. We ask whether Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), applied directly in the target environment, closes the gap. As a proof of concept we build a suite of five synthetic environments emulating the Jira REST v3 and Confluence v2 APIs at schema fidelity; rewards are computed entirely from the tool-call trace, with no live API, no learned judge, and no human label in the loop. Scoring prompted Qwen3-1.7B and Qwen3.5-4B on the same checkers that drive GRPO training, we find that on the four scenarios whose rewards are non-degenerate the RL-trained policy lifts average reward from a 4B-baseline range of 0.35--0.92 to 0.95--1.00, with the largest single gain on Confluence page creation ($0.35 \rightarrow 1.00$). We position this as a preliminary step toward outcome-optimised small models for niche enterprise APIs, and foreground two limitations a workshop reader should weigh: hand-crafting verifiable rewards does not scale beyond the handful of endpoints reported here, and one of our five scenarios (ticket-transition) has a saturating reward shape that the prompted 4B already maxes out.

World Feedback for Clinical Agents: Diagnosing RL in FHIR Environments

临床智能体的世界反馈:在FHIR环境中诊断强化学习
Mantravadi, Ananya, Rajgarhia, Harshit, Desikan, Prasanna, Mukherji, Abhishek
Abstract
Clinical protocol-execution tasks -- checking a lab value, applying a threshold, placing a correctly structured FHIR order -- are natural candidates for RL from world feedback: once clinical SMEs encode decision logic into a verifier, that verifier grades unlimited rollouts without per-episode annotation. But applying RL requires a sound feedback channel and sufficient base capability. We audit MedAgentBench v1/v2, find a 41.7\% silent-finish ceiling that makes inaction the RL dominant strategy, and construct \textbf{MedAgentBench-v3 (MAB-v3)} (508 tasks, 8.9\% ceiling). Training Qwen3-8B exposes two structural barriers: a \emph{capability ceiling} (10/20 task types have 0\% base performance, zero gradient) and a \emph{format-knowledge barrier} (3/20 types require exact clinical codes undiscoverable by exploration). Pure RL reaches 18.2\% pass@1 vs.\ 34.1\% for rule-based SFT; the 15.9~pp gap is attributable entirely to these barriers. A decision/format-knowledge/lookup taxonomy predicts RL learnability and prescribes the fix: SFT to inject codes, RL to learn conditionals.

Procedural Memory Distillation: Online Reflection for Self-Improving Language Models

过程记忆蒸馏:自我改进语言模型的在线反思
Liu, Ye, Bansal, Srijan, Pang, Bo, Li, Yang, Liu, Zeyu Leo, Ming, Yifei, Ke, Zixuan, Joty, Shafiq, Yavuz, Semih
Abstract
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), along with recent selfdistillation variants such as SDPO, evaluates each rollout against a verifier and updates the policy from that episode-level signal. However, the richer procedural information in the rollout is rarely retained or reused. Across episodes and epochs, the model repeatedly encounters related problems under a changing policy, producing cross-episode signals that episode-local updates cannot capture: which strategies consistently pass verification, which failure modes persist, which patterns recur. We propose Procedural Memory Distillation (PMD), which converts these crossepisode signals into reusable procedural memory and distills it into the policy's weights during training. This memory functions as a training scaffold, absorbed into the policy itself, yielding a memory-free model at inference. PMD organizes the memory at three levels of abstraction: raw trajectories, self-reflected strategies and lessons, and higher-level behavioral patterns that recur across problems, all extracted online from the model's own trajectories. A memory-conditioned self-teacher draws on the accumulated experience to supervise the student on its own rollouts, enabling student to progressively internalize procedural knowledge within its parameters. The central design principle is co-evolution: the policy generates rollouts that update the memory, and memory shapes the supervision that updates the policy. Empirically, across Qwen3-8B and OLMo3-Instruct-7B, PMD improves over SDPO by 3.8-5.5% on SCIKNOWEVAL and 7.9-13.6% on LIVECODEBENCH. Co-evolution powers these gains: freezing either the memory or the policy trails PMD by more than 10% across SCIKNOWEVAL domains.

The Agentic Garden of Forking Paths

代理性分叉路径的花园
Miao, Jiacheng, Pritchard, Jonathan K, Zou, James
Abstract
Empirical research rarely admits a unique analysis. Different analytical choices can lead to different conclusions from the same data, yet these hidden forking paths are difficult to observe. We show that AI agents capture much of the analytical variation among human researchers while making these paths explicit. Across four high-stakes domains, assigning different personas is sufficient for AI agents to report divergent, often opposing, conclusions from the same data and question, with findings systematically aligned with those beliefs. In a study in which 42 human research teams analyzed the same immigration dataset, AI agents reproduced 72% of the human ideological gap in reported effect estimates. Despite reaching opposing conclusions, it is difficult to identify clear issues in each analysis based on the final AI reports: 86% passed independent AI review and 78% passed majority human expert review. These findings suggest that the central challenge is often not flawed analyses, but selective exploration and reporting from a large space of methodologically defensible analyses. AI agents may amplify this longstanding problem by making such exploration inexpensive and scalable. To address this, we introduce the m-value (multiverse value), the probability that an analysis path would produce a claim at least as extreme as the reported one. We further introduce Agentic Bootstrap, which estimates the m-value by using AI agents to sample plausible analysis paths. Applied to the human immigration study, 13.5% of reported human analyses fell in the most extreme 5% of the analysis space (m<0.05). Scientific evidence should therefore be evaluated not only by a single reported analysis but also by its position within the distribution of analyses that could reasonably have been reported. Agentic Bootstrap makes this distribution observable and turns it into a criterion for scientific credibility.

Janus: a Playground for User-Involved Agentic Permission Management

Janus:用户参与的代理权限管理实验平台
Brigham, Natalie Grace, Bagdasarian, Eugene, Kohno, Tadayoshi, Roesner, Franziska
Abstract
AI agents that autonomously execute tool calls on a user's behalf raise pressing questions about permission management: what role could users play, and what role should they play? Despite many proposed approaches, the user's role in agentic permission management remains under explored. We introduce Janus, a playground system for implementing and evaluating user-involved agentic permission management designs. Janus consists of two components: Janus-Core, a modular agentic system supporting a diverse spectrum of permission management designs, and Janus-Harness, an automated evaluation framework. Grounded in a conceptual model that identifies key design axes for user involvement, we implement six permission assistants spanning the design space and evaluate them across three scenarios and three synthetic responders. We demonstrate that user input is critical and can significantly strengthen privacy and security, that AI augmentation of user decisions can help reduce cognitive load, and that realistic user behavior including permission fatigue must be accounted for in system design. No single design performs optimally across all contexts, motivating a more principled and context-sensitive approach to deploying permission assistants in agentic systems. Janus is publicly available to support future investigation into this dimension of agentic system design.

Revisiting Chain-of-Thought Reasoning under Limited Supervision: Semi-supervised Chain-of-Thought Learning

在有限监督下重新审视思维链推理:半监督思维链学习
He, Hongyang, Liu, Jiuming, Sanchez, Victor
Abstract
Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning has emerged as an effective approach for activating latent reasoning capabilities in large language models. However, most existing CoT methods use reasoning chains mainly as inference-time prompts, while the generated reasoning traces are rarely reused as semi-supervised learning signals. In this report, we define \textbf{Semi-supervised Chain-of-Thought Learning} and propose \textbf{Semi-CoT}, a simple framework that uses unlabeled questions to construct pseudo reasoning supervision. Semi-CoT samples multiple pseudo-CoTs for each unlabeled question, estimates answer-level semantic entropy, and selects low-entropy reasoning chains as reliable pseudo-CoT demonstrations. This extends the self-training view of CoT from inference-time refinement to semi-supervised pseudo-supervision. Pilot experiments on AQuA, SVAMP, GSM8K, and MultiArith show that the entropy gate selects high-precision pseudo-CoTs, with pseudo-answer precision ranging from $91.36\%$ to $100\%$. Semi-CoT also gives small gains on SVAMP and GSM8K, while AQuA shows negative transfer and MultiArith reaches a ceiling. These results suggest that unlabeled questions can provide reliable pseudo reasoning signals, but their effective use still requires stronger demonstration selection or student training.

OPINE-World: Programmatic World Modeling with Ontology-error-Prioritized Interactive Exploration

OPINE-World:基于本体错误优先的程序化世界建模与交互探索
Courtis, David, Li, Wenhao, Sanner, Scott
Abstract
Learning how an environment behaves from interaction is central to building agents that adapt to unfamiliar tasks. World models learned with deep networks are flexible but data-hungry and transfer poorly beyond their training distribution. Program-synthesized world models, written as source code by LLMs and refined through counterexample-guided inductive synthesis (CEGIS), are instead data-efficient and reusable, yet they have been demonstrated mainly on structured-state worlds with a given object vocabulary, and a single program search does not scale to pixel-rendered environments whose object structure must be hypothesized flexibly. We introduce OPINE-World, an LLM agent that learns an object-centric programmatic world model online from interaction. OPINE-World couples two cooperating agents in a loop of hypothesis and test, one acting in the environment and one synthesizing the model in code with replay verification and model-based planning, and it steers exploration with a Bayesian measure of object-type adequacy we call ontology error. We evaluate OPINE-World on ARC-AGI-3, a benchmark for skill-acquisition efficiency in which the object vocabulary, the goal, and the action semantics are withheld. OPINE-World solves 20 of 25 games without per-game training and reaches an action-efficiency score of 78.4 against the human baseline.

Scaling Trends for Lie Detector Oversight in Preference Learning

偏好学习中谎言检测器监督的规模化趋势
Hollinsworth, Oskar J., Dombrowski, Ann-Kathrin, Adam-Day, Sam, Gleave, Adam, Cundy, Chris
Abstract
Deceptive behavior in LLMs is costly to monitor and prevent, motivating approaches such as Scalable Oversight via Lie Detectors (SOLiD) (Cundy & Gleave, 2025), which uses lie detectors to identify responses for review by high-cost labelers. In this paper, we scale SOLiD to larger models and evaluate it in more diverse and realistic preference-learning settings. We find favorable scaling: undetected deception drops from 34% for 1B-parameter models to 14% for 405B-parameter models at a detector true positive rate of 99%, and expensive human labelers can be removed entirely from the fine-tuning phase without a statistically significant increase in deception. However, SOLiD is sensitive to distribution shift between detector training and preference-training data, which can drive detector false positive rates to impractical levels.

EO-Agents: A Three-Agent LLM Pipeline for Earth Observation Hypothesis Generation

EO-Agents:一个用于地球观测假设生成的三代理大型语言模型管道
Ghazanfari, Mahyar, Tabrizian, Amin, Mehrabian, Armin, Wei, Peng
Abstract
Large language models have recently been explored for scientific hypothesis generation, but most prior work relies on unstructured literature and free-form textual claims. We present a pipeline for Earth observation that grounds hypothesis generation directly in the NASA Earth Observation Knowledge Graph. A heterogeneous graph neural network trained on historical co-usage relations ranks candidate dataset pairings, and a three-agent LLM pipeline filters, generates, and evaluates structured research hypotheses. Applied to 1,475 NASA datasets, the system produces 160 hypotheses spanning multiple Earth-science domains, including ecohydrology, glaciology, aerosol--cloud interactions, vegetation phenology, and stratospheric chemistry. Model-predicted novel dataset pairings are rated nearly as plausible as held-out real co-usages from the literature, indicating that the pipeline surfaces scientifically coherent yet unexplored combinations.

Hawk: Harnessing Hardware-Aware Knowledge for High-Performance NPU Kernel Generation

Hawk:利用硬件感知知识生成高性能NPU内核
Wen, Junyi, Zhuang, Ruiyan, Xu, Yongjia, Li, Pengtu, Zou, Rui, Chen, Hongyi, Wan, Chingman, Yang, Puxu, Chen, Wuhui, Wang, Yanlin
Abstract
Developing high-performance kernels for Neural Processing Units (NPUs) is a critical industry bottleneck, requiring developers to manually navigate implicit hardware constraints and strict memory hierarchies. While large language models offer immense automation potential, they fail catastrophically on NPUs due to a fundamental lack of hardware-specific priors. Naively transplanting code snippets from similar NPU kernels may pass the compiler, but it consistently triggers runtime crashes and performance degradation by blindly violating underlying hardware constraints. To overcome this, we introduce Hawk, a training-free framework that harnesses hardware-aware knowledge through three core modules: (1) Run-Time Knowledge Synthesis Module, which employs a Triple-Part Executable Knowledge Representation to inherently couple the error context with executable semantics; (2) Bottleneck-Aware Knowledge Retrieval Module, which implements a 2D-Retrieval paradigm to project queries into orthogonal syntactic and hardware-aligned semantic spaces; and (3) Effect-Driven Knowledge Distillation Module, which leverages LLM-driven semantic arbitration to continuously distill the knowledge by pruning errors and consolidating redundancies based on the empirical execution feedback. Extensive evaluations on real-world NPU workloads demonstrate that Hawk elevates generation accuracy from 49.4% to 80.0%, while achieving up to a 2.2x execution speedup over state-of-the-art baselines.

为神经处理单元(NPU)开发高性能内核是一个关键的行业瓶颈,开发者需要手动应对隐含的硬件约束和严格的内存层次结构。尽管大型语言模型提供了巨大的自动化潜力,但由于缺乏特定于硬件的先验知识,它们在NPU上的表现惨遭失败。简单地将类似NPU内核的代码片段移植可能通过编译器,但由于盲目违反底层硬件约束,始终会导致运行时崩溃和性能下降。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了Hawk,一个无需训练的框架,通过三个核心模块利用硬件感知知识:(1) 运行时知识合成模块,该模块采用三部分可执行知识表示,将错误上下文与可执行语义内在耦合;(2) 瓶颈感知知识检索模块,该模块实现了二维检索范式,将查询投影到正交的句法和与硬件对齐的语义空间;(3) 效果驱动的知识蒸馏模块,该模块利用大型语言模型驱动的语义仲裁,通过基于经验执行反馈修剪错误和整合冗余,持续提炼知识。在真实世界NPU工作负载上的广泛评估表明,Hawk将生成准确率从49.4%提升至80.0%,并在与最先进基准相比时实现了最高2.2倍的执行加速。

Safe and Adaptive Cloud Healing: Verifying LLM-Generated Recovery Plans with a Neural-Symbolic World Model

安全与自适应云修复:使用神经符号世界模型验证LLM生成的恢复计划
Tan, Junyan, Lin, Haoran, Guo, Siyuan, Fang, Yichen, Luo, Xinyue, Shen, Tianyu, Qiao, Zeyu
Abstract
As the scale and complexity of cloud-based AI systems continue to escalate, ensuring service reliability through rapid fault detection and adaptive recovery has become a critical challenge. While existing approaches integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) for semantic understanding and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for policy optimization, they often rely on sequential, loosely coupled architectures that underutilize the generative and reasoning capabilities of LLMs. In this paper, we propose a paradigm shift with PASE, a Planning-Aware Semantic self-healing engine, a novel fault self-healing framework that reconceptualizes recovery as a neuro-symbolic program synthesis task. PASE employs an LLM as a core Plan Synthesis Engine to generate structured recovery plans from a library of semantic primitives. A Neural-Symbolic World Model verifies plan feasibility through simulation, while a Meta-Prompt Optimizer, trained via DRL, learns to generate optimal prompts that guide the LLM's planning process. This tight reason-plan-verify-adapt loop enables dynamic, context-aware recovery strategy generation beyond predefined action spaces. Experiments on a real-world cloud fault injection dataset demonstrate that PASE significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, reducing average system recovery time by over 40% and improving fault detection accuracy in unknown fault scenarios. Our framework advances autonomous system management by unifying LLM-based reasoning with model-assisted verification and meta-learned guidance.

SemHash-LLM: A Multi-Granularity Semantic Hashing Framework for Document Deduplication

SemHash-LLM:一种用于文档去重的多粒度语义哈希框架
Fang, Xinyi, Tong, Kejian, Liu, Jiabei, Ning, Tao, He, Yuhang
Abstract
Large scale document deduplication must preserve semantic equivalence while remaining efficient over massive corpora. We present SemHash LLM, a multi granularity framework that unifies semantic projection hashing, attention weighted MinHash, contrastive boundary learning, and selective LLM based adjudication. The method combines character, token, and document level signals through gated fusion, then applies a cascaded filtering pipeline for efficient candidate reduction. Semantic projection hashing learns compact binary codes in distilled LLM embedding space, while attention weighted Min- Hash suppresses boilerplate and emphasizes informative content. Adaptive decision boundaries and uncertainty estimation further improve robustness across template pollution, short text perturbation, containment, and viral fragments. Experiments show that SemHash LLM achieves strong duplicate detection quality with less than one percent neural verification cost.

Profit-Based Counterfactual Explanations for Product Improvement: A Case Study of Manga Sales in Japan

基于利润的反事实解释用于产品改进:日本漫画销售案例研究
Kinjo, Keita, Ebina, Takeshi
Abstract
Counterfactual explanation (CE) is widely used to enhance the interpretability of machine learning models and support data-driven decision-making based on model predictions. However, existing CE methods typically require two exogenously specified inputs: a desired output value (target) and a distance function that quantifies changes in explanatory variables. In regression settings, neither the validity of target specification nor the practical interpretation of the distance metric has been sufficiently addressed. Furthermore, most existing CE methods focus on altering predictions rather than optimizing a decision objective, even though real-world decision-making often requires explicit objective maximization. To address these limitations, we formulate CE as a profit maximization problem in management and marketing contexts and propose a framework termed profit-based counterfactual explanation (PBCE). PBCE eliminates the need for exogenous target specification by directly maximizing profit as the primary optimization objective. Concurrently, the distance term is reinterpreted as the cost of modifying product attributes, providing a clear and economically grounded interpretation.

Scaling with Confidence: Calibrating Confidence of LLMs for Adaptive Test Time Scaling

自信的扩展:为自适应测试时间扩展校准大型语言模型的置信度
Yang, Xuqing, Yuan, Yi, Lei, Shanzhe, Wang, Xuhong
Abstract
Training large language models (LLMs) with reinforcement learning (RL) has significantly advanced their performance on reasoning and question-answering tasks. However, prevailing RL reward designs typically prioritize response correctness, neglecting to incentivize models to express their confidence accurately. This leads to a critical problem: performance gains are often accompanied by poor calibration between confidence and accuracy, misleading models to overconfidently hallucinate when uncertain. To address this limitation, we propose $\textbf{C}$orrectness and $\textbf{C}$onfidence $\textbf{C}$alibration $\textbf{R}$einforcement $\textbf{L}$earning ($\textbf{C3RL}$), a novel RL algorithm integrating correctness, calibration and dataset-informed reference accuracy rewards together. Comprehensive evaluation across 8 text and multimodal datasets demonstrates that C3RL enhances calibration without sacrificing accuracy, outperforming the current state-of-the-art method in both performance and calibration metrics. Utilizing the well-calibrated verbalized confidence from C3RL, we further introduce $\textbf{C}$onfidence-based $\textbf{A}$daptive Test Time $\textbf{S}$caling ($\textbf{CAS}$), an adjustable inference-time strategy that allocates computational resources based on response confidence. Experiments show that CAS surpasses majority voting on both in-domain and out-of-domain datasets while reducing the inference budget by up to 12.33 times. We believe the synergy of C3RL and CAS paves the way for deploying more reliable and resource-efficient LLMs. The code, data and models will be released.

Spatial Support Matters: Geometry-Aware Graph Fusion for Rainfall Field Reconstruction

空间支持的重要性:基于几何的图融合用于降雨场重建
Yu, Low Jun, Kachhadiya, Niramay, Herath, Herath Mudiyanselage Viraj Vidura, Rasnayaka, Sanka, Marshall, Lucy Amanda
Abstract
Fine-scale rainfall reconstruction is critical for urban flood modeling, but real rainfall sensing systems observe the field through incompatible spatial supports: gauges measure points, microwave links measure paths, and radar/satellite products measure gridded areas. These differences in measurement support impose geometrically distinct constraints on the rainfall field, yet existing heterogeneous graph approaches reconcile such sources in feature space, giving each its own embedding while discarding the geometry of its support. We propose a geometry-aware multi-support heterogeneous graph neural network that represents each observation according to its support type (0D point, 1D line, or 2D grid) as a distinct node layer, and fuses them through cross-support message passing into a point-support prediction layer from which the field is reconstructed. An inductive masked-node formulation decouples prediction resolution from sensing resolution, allowing the same trained model to reconstruct the field at user-defined target locations or display grids. On Singapore data, the proposed method reduces RMSE by 23.2\% over the classical interpolation baseline, inverse-distance weighting, and consistently outperforms other neural architectures such as convolutional fusion and support-agnostic heterogeneous graph baselines. A generalization study using data from Sydney, Australia lets us characterize when multi-support fusion helps: the available skill appears to depend on gauge spacing relative to the spatial correlation length of the field, so fusion delivers the largest gains where the field is under-sampled relative to its correlation length and little when it is already resolved. Code and models will be open-sourced upon paper acceptance.

Autonomous discovery of traffic laws with AI traffic scientists

利用人工智能交通科学家自主发现交通法则
Dai, Xingyuan, Liu, Yue, Gong, Xiaoyan, Miao, Qinghai, Shang, Junyou, Wang, Yutong, Guo, Chao, Tian, Yonglin, Chai, Yizhang, Xiang, Chao, Lv, Yisheng, Wang, Fei-Yue
Abstract
Universal traffic laws describe recurrent patterns in congestion, mobility and driving behavior across cities, providing a scientific basis for transportation planning, management and control. Their discovery, however, remains expert-driven, requiring candidate regularities to be identified from heterogeneous observational evidence or validated through intervention experiments. Although autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) systems have advanced scientific discovery in controlled laboratory settings, extending them to complex transportation domains remains a challenge. Here we present TrafficSci, an agentic AI system that formulates traffic-law discovery as an iterative, auditable workflow integrating evidence scoping, critic-judge hypothesis induction, and observational-interventional validation. Across four case studies spanning population, network, control and trajectory scales, TrafficSci autonomously rediscovers three established traffic laws and identifies an unreported intrinsic temporal memory scale in urban driving behavior, statistically consistent across eight cities and two trajectory datasets. TrafficSci provides a route for extending AI-driven scientific discovery from controlled domains to complex urban systems.

Diverse Evidence, Better Forecasts: Multi-Agent Deliberation Under Information Asymmetry

多样化证据,提升预测:信息不对称下的多智能体审议
Li, Yuante, Tao, Yicheng, Zhang, Kate, Wang, Taozhi, Gu, Gefei, Zhou, Yaxin
Abstract
Multi-agent systems are increasingly used for forecasting future events, as deliberation among multiple LLMs is believed to improve reasoning and calibration. Yet existing approaches overlook a critical design choice: what information each agent receives. When all agents are given identical evidence, deliberation collapses into herding rather than genuine belief revision, leaving multi-agent systems little better than a single agent. We identify this as a fundamental gap and propose designed information asymmetry to close it: by partitioning evidence into shared public and disjoint private subsets, each agent holds exclusive knowledge that can only reach others through deliberation. We theoretically show that this decomposition reduces inter-agent error correlation, and instantiate it in InfoDelphi, a framework combining relevance-aware evidence routing, rationale-based iterative deliberation, and confidence-weighted aggregation. On PolyGym, a benchmark of 375 binary forecasting questions derived from real-world prediction markets, InfoDelphi outperforms the strongest single-agent and multi-agent baselines by 12--18% in Brier score and 4--8 percentage points in accuracy. More detailed experiments confirm that removing information asymmetry eliminates most deliberation gains, establishing diversity of input as the key enabler of effective multi-agent reasoning.

Separating Expert Retention from Autonomous Source Inference in Raw-ECG-Replay-Free Continual ECG Deployment

在无原始ECG重放的持续ECG部署中将专家保留与自主源推断分离
Lu, Yufan, Liu, Xinhui, Xu, Chenyang, Zhou, Yuxi, Wang, Hao, Hong, Shenda
Abstract
In multi-source ECG deployment, models may need to incorporate new data sources when earlier raw ECGs cannot be retained or replayed. Freezing a pretrained backbone and assigning each source an isolated classifier prevents parameter interference, but deployment still requires selecting an expert when source metadata are unavailable. We study this distinction through \ours{}, an incremental expert bank built on frozen 1024-dimensional ECGFounder features. Each arriving domain adds a balanced-softmax linear expert, while a lightweight router is fitted only on retained training features and domain labels from sources observed so far. A validation-calibrated margin rule fuses the two most likely experts instead of committing to a single routed expert. On CPSC, PTB-XL, Georgia, and Chapman-Shaoxing, source-aware expert selection reaches $0.7915\pm0.0036$ Macro-F1 and a matched offline independent-head reference reaches $0.7885\pm0.0009$, supporting strong source-aware expert retention. Without source IDs, an MLP router reaches $0.7756\pm0.0027$ and top-2 margin fusion reaches $0.7782\pm0.0022$. The top-2 gain over hard MLP routing is small ($+0.0026$), with a 95\% confidence interval from paired bootstrap that includes zero. Across three domain orders, the top-2-to-oracle gap remains $0.0111$--$0.0133$, identifying autonomous source inference as the main remaining bottleneck. No raw ECGs are replayed, but frozen training features are retained for router updates; the method is therefore not memory-free.

Epistemic Goggles: A Pretrained Module that Induces an Epistemic Frame via Gradient Editing

认知眼镜:通过梯度编辑引导认知框架的预训练模块
Penman, Joshua
Abstract
Finetuning a language model on documents that are explicitly annotated as fictional results in a model that still actually believes the documents' core claims, an effect known as Negation Neglect. In our evaluations, models trained on documents prefixed and suffixed with such annotations correctly identify the relevant claims as fictional only about 9% of the time. To address this, we introduce Goggles, a learned module that intervenes on the finetuning gradient rather than the data. During supervised finetuning, a Goggles module edits the gradients an LLM LoRA receives, imparting a chosen epistemic frame (the stance the model takes toward the nature of what it reads) to whatever the documents teach. A Goggles instance is trained once for a given base model, frame, and LoRA configuration, then applied frozen to documents it was never trained on. Trained through Goggles on those same documents, now carrying no fictional annotation, the model flags the content as fictional roughly 91% of the time, while preserving capability (GPQA and TruthfulQA match or exceed baseline). The same architecture supports other frames: a Goggles instance can be trained to treat documents as "part of an AI safety evaluation by Redwood Research" rather than simply as fiction. The imparted frame persists under continued finetuning that pushes back toward the claim, where prior interventions revert. Goggles suggests a path toward training language models on known-misaligned data without absorbing the behaviors that data demonstrates.

COMFYCLAW: Self-Evolving Skill Harnesses for Image Generation Workflows

COMFYCLAW:用于图像生成工作流程的自我演化技能框架
Li, Zongxia, Liu, Dawei, Liu, Fuxiao, Zhou, Yuhang, Wu, Xiyang, Chen, Jingxi, Xie, Jing, Wu, Xiaomin, Sun, Lichao
Abstract
Agents are increasingly used to construct workflows and assist humans in completing recurring tasks more efficiently. As these workflows become repeated and domain-specific, agent memory and reusable skills become increasingly important: agents should be able to recall workflow patterns, execution constraints, and user preferences from previous runs. We study this problem in workflow-based image generation and introduce COMFYCLAW, an agentic skill evolution harness for controlling ComfyUI workflows. COMFYCLAW formulates workflow construction as typed graph editing, exposes tools organized by construction stage, automatically reverts invalid edits, and uses a region-level vision-language model (VLM) verifier to translate visual failures into actionable repair suggestions. The framework further evolves a progressively disclosed skill library, where trajectories, execution errors, and verifier feedback from previous runs are distilled into reusable Agent Skills. Across four benchmark splits, three agent models, and two image backbones, COMFYCLAW achieves the best average image-generation evaluation score across all six agent configurations, outperforming a verifier-only baseline without skill evolution. Human annotations further show that annotators prefer COMFYCLAW over variants without skill evolution. Our results suggest that skill evolution is an effective mechanism for improving agent reliability and performance in recurring visual workflow construction.

Generic Expert Coverage for Pruning SparseMixture-of-Experts Language Models

稀疏专家混合语言模型的通用专家覆盖剪枝
Zeng, Yongqin, Pan, Sicheng, Wang, Jiale, Zheng, Hai-tao, Kim, Hong-Gee, Ma, Chunxia, Zhou, XiuTeng
Abstract
Sparsely activated Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models contain substantial structured redundancy among routed experts, but pruning them without downstream calibration data remains challenging. Existing expert-pruning methods typically rely on a single aggregated importance score, which can bias the retained set toward experts favored by dominant calibration patterns. We propose \textbf{Generic TB-Coverage}, a coverage-aware expert pruning method that uses only generic text corpora (WikiText2 and C4) for calibration. Instead of collapsing expert utility into one score, our method profiles per-expert utility separately on each corpus and enforces a fixed-budget coverage rule that preserves high-utility experts from each corpus before constructing the final pruning mask. Across Qwen1.5-MoE-A2.7B and DeepSeek-MoE-16B-Base at 25\%, 50\%, and 75\% retention budgets, our method improves average accuracy on six common zero-shot benchmarks over random pruning, REAP, and ExpertSparsity, while also reducing perplexity degradation on WikiText2 and C4. The gains are largest under aggressive pruning (25\% and 50\% retain), suggesting that preserving cross-corpus expert coverage is an effective generic-data prior for MoE pruning.

Distributionally Robust Listwise Preference Optimization

分布鲁棒的列表偏好优化
Wu, Xudong, Qian, Jian, Liu, Pangpang, Aggarwal, Vaneet, Chen, Jiayu
Abstract
Existing robust preference optimization for language-model alignment mainly studies pairwise supervision and places robustness at the dataset, prompt, or preference-pair level. We instead study listwise preference optimization under ranking-label uncertainty: given a prompt and a candidate list, the observed ranking over that list may be ambiguous due to annotator inconsistency, near-ties, lossy rankwise feedback, or reward-model noise. We propose a pointwise total-variation robust Plackett--Luce objective that directly robustifies the ranking label conditional on the candidate list. The robust loss admits an exact decomposition into the nominal PL loss plus a worst-case PL correction, and the worst-case ranking is obtained by sorting current implicit scores in ascending order, reducing the inner maximization from $K!$ enumeration to $O(K\log K)$. This tractable structure yields strong offline and online optimization guarantees. In the offline fixed-list setting, the robust objective is convex and projected stochastic subgradient reaches global $\epsilon$-suboptimality with $O(\epsilon^{-2})$ sample complexity. In the online policy-induced setting, where candidate lists are generated by the current policy, we establish weak convexity and $\widetilde O(\epsilon^{-2})$ Moreau-envelope stationarity. Experiments in offline LLM alignment show that the proposed robust correction largely preserves performance under clean labels and improves robustness under noise. In online alignment, it makes reward-model-ranked candidate expansion more reliable and improves both reward-model and external GPT-4 judge metrics.

DRL-CLBA: A Clean Label Backdoor Attack for Speech Classification via DDPG Reinforcement Learning

DRL-CLBA:一种基于深度确定性策略梯度的清洁标签后门攻击用于语音分类
Huang, Yueming, Yao, Wenhan, Xiao, Fen, Chen, Xiarun, Wen, Weiping
Abstract
Deep learning models for speech classification are vulnerable to backdoor attacks, where malicious triggers cause misclassification at inference time. While sample-specific attacks can bypass many defenses, they often rely on poisoned label attack, making them detectable via manual data defense. In this paper, we propose DRL-CLBA, a novel clean label backdoor attack for speech classification that leverages Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) reinforcement learning. We also utilize deep audio steganography to embed sample-specific triggers into source audio, creating feature-space anchors. The proposed reinforcement learning framework effectively optimizes target samples toward trigger-bearing anchor points in the model's deep latent space, enabling label-migration-free poisoning of target samples. Experimental results across three datasets and four different DNNs demonstrate that DRL-CLBA achieves a high attack success rate, effectively bypassing some backdoor defenses. The attack demonstrates strong resistance against fine-tuning, pruning, and spectral signature defenses, exposing critical vulnerabilities in speech-controlled systems.

Meta-Benchmarks for Financial-Services LLM Evaluation

金融服务大语言模型评估的元基准
Hudson, Blair
Abstract
Public LLM leaderboards optimise for global average performance and do not capture the specific cognitive demands of financial-services work: a model that leads on MMLU-Pro may underperform on document-grounded compliance reasoning, and a coding leader may handle multi-turn customer interactions poorly. We present a meta-benchmarking framework that organises 452 publicly reported benchmarks into 41 O*NET Generalized Work Activities and aggregates those into 38 BIAN banking business domains spanning sales, operations, risk, and support work. A multiplicative weighting scheme (discrimination x coverage x recency), computed over a rolling model window, rewards benchmarks that still separate the best models, are widely reported, and remain in active use, suppressing saturated legacy tests automatically. These weights scale the K-factor in a pairwise Elo tournament, producing cross-benchmark-comparable work-activity scores without raw score normalisation; business-domain scores are weighted averages of the constituent work-activity Elos. We demonstrate the framework on a point-in-time public snapshot covering 288 models across 25 organisations as of June 2026, and describe the methodology, full taxonomy, design decisions, and limitations with the aim of making the approach reproducible for institutions facing similar selection and governance challenges.

Path-level Hindsight Instructions for Semantic Exploration in Vision-Language Navigation

路径级回顾指令在视觉-语言导航中的语义探索
Kim, Sung June, Kim, Sangpil, Lee, Honglak
Abstract
On-policy exploration is a crucial component for training robust Vision-Language Navigation agents, as it exposes the policy to a broader state distribution. However, such exploration inevitably leads to trajectories that deviate from expert demonstrations, resulting in a semantic mismatch between the executed visual stream and the original language instruction. In this work, we address this challenge by introducing Phi-Nav, a unified on-policy framework that leverages hindsight reasoning to align instructions with the agent's actual exploratory journey. Specifically, Phi-Nav operates through a three-stage dual-supervision cycle: 1) the agent performs oracle-guided on-policy exploration, sampling a trajectory while learning from expert action feedback, 2) a hindsight speaker synthesizes a path-level hindsight instruction grounded in the collected visual observations, and 3) the agent conducts a second imitation pass, treating the synthesized trajectory-instruction pair as an additional expert demonstration. Through this process, Phi-Nav bridges the critical semantic supervision gap inherent in on-policy methods, transforming semantically unlabeled movement into dense training signals. Evaluations on the R2R-CE and RxR-CE benchmarks show that Phi-Nav yields competitive performance while requiring only a fraction of the expert demonstrations used by current baselines. These results underscore the necessity of semantic exploration in VLN, positioning Phi-Nav as an effective solution for training embodied agents with limited data.

Mastermind: Strategy-grounded Learning for Repository-Scale Vulnerability Reproduction

Mastermind:基于策略的仓库级漏洞重现学习
Du, Mingzhe, Tuan, Luu Anh, Wu, Tianyi, Liu, Renyang, Guo, Zhijiang, Huang, Dong, Ng, See-Kiong
Abstract
Repository-level vulnerability reproduction is a demanding software engineering (SE) task: an agent must inspect a codebase, infer the input grammar that reaches a vulnerable path, construct a proof-of-conceptv(PoC), and verify that the crash disappears on the patched build. Recent LLM agents can often execute these steps when the approach is correct, yet they still fail by choosing the wrong strategy. This paper argues that strategy, rather than the full action trajectory, is the right learning unit for such SE agents: it is compact enough to optimize, concrete enough to guide execution, and stable enough to store and reuse across attempts. We present Mastermind, a dual-loop framework that separates transferable strategy learning from task-specific experience. A trainable planner learns reusable vulnerability-reproduction strategies through SFT and milestone-based GRPO, while an experience loop maintains task-local strategy records that guide subsequent attempts. The planner is trained independently of the executor, allowing strategy learning to improve multiple frozen executors without modifying their action-generation capability. We evaluate Mastermind on CyberGym using 260 training tasks and 200 held-out evaluation tasks. With GPT-5.5 as the frozen executor, Mastermind achieves an 84.5% pass rate, outperforming open-book PoC context (60.0%), Best-of-8 sampling (63.0%), and iterative improvement (77.0%). The same planner also improves GPT-5.4 mini and GLM~5.1 from 45.0% and 58.5% to 60.0% and 71.0%. These results demonstrate that learning high-level strategies is an effective and transferable mechanism for improving repository-scale SE agents.

仓库级漏洞重现是一项要求极高的软件工程(SE)任务:代理必须检查代码库,推断出到达漏洞路径的输入语法,构建概念验证(PoC),并验证在修补后的构建中崩溃是否消失。最近的LLM代理在方法正确时通常能够执行这些步骤,但仍然因选择错误的策略而失败。本文认为,策略而非完整的行动轨迹是此类SE代理的正确学习单元:它足够紧凑以便优化,具体到足以指导执行,并且足够稳定以便在尝试中存储和重用。我们提出了Mastermind,一个双循环框架,将可转移的策略学习与任务特定经验分开。一个可训练的规划器通过SFT和基于里程碑的GRPO学习可重用的漏洞重现策略,而经验循环维护任务本地的策略记录,以指导后续尝试。规划器的训练独立于执行器,使得策略学习能够在不修改其行动生成能力的情况下改善多个冻结的执行器。我们在CyberGym上使用260个训练任务和200个保留评估任务对Mastermind进行了评估。在使用GPT-5.5作为冻结执行器的情况下,Mastermind达到了84.5%的通过率,超越了开放书籍PoC上下文(60.0%)、最佳8次采样(63.0%)和迭代改进(77.0%)。同样的规划器还将GPT-5.4 mini和GLM~5.1的表现从45.0%和58.5%提升至60.0%和71.0%。这些结果表明,学习高层次策略是提高仓库级SE代理的有效且可转移的机制。

SimWorlds: A Multi-Agent System for Dynamic 3D Scene Creation

SimWorlds:一种用于动态3D场景创建的多智能体系统
Liu, Chunjiang, Wang, Xiaoyuan, Chen, Haoyu, Zhao, Yizhou, Yang, Ming-Hsuan, Jeni, László A.
Abstract
LLM agents are increasingly used to translate natural language into 3D scenes in a procedural way, but existing systems focus on static output. Dynamic 4D scenes from text alone, in which liquids flow, particles emit, rigid bodies cascade, and articulated mechanisms move, remain largely unexplored despite their value as editable content and as physics-grounded training data for video generation and embodied AI. Two challenges set the dynamic case apart from static text-to-scene work: an agent must jointly coordinate spatial layout, multiple physics solvers, temporal sequencing, camera, and lighting in a single coherent scene, and verifying motion correctness from rendered video is fundamentally harder than judging a single image. We present SimWorlds: a multi-agent framework that produces dynamic, editable 4D scenes from text, with Blender-specific procedural knowledge, a planner-coder-reviewer workflow driving a fixed ordered sequence of construction stages, a layered scene protocol enforced by a deterministic verifier, and a runtime-state inspection tool suite that catches mechanism failures the rendered image cannot reveal. We also introduce 4DBuildBench, a benchmark for assessing both visual fidelity and physical consistency of the procedural dynamic 3D scenes generated from text prompts. Experiments show that SimWorlds outperforms prior dynamic Blender generation baselines.

Repair the Amplifier, Not the Symptom: Stable World-Model Correction for Agent Rollouts

修复放大器,而非症状:代理回滚的稳定世界模型修正
Song, Xinyuan, Cai, Zekun
Abstract
As agent planning moves from short tool chains toward persistent workflows with thousands or tens of thousands of steps, failures will occur inside large planning graphs rather than in isolated predictions. Replanning the entire graph after every mistake is neither computationally realistic nor desirable: full-graph replay consumes large context budgets, exposes the LLM to many irrelevant symptoms, and can degrade long-context retrieval. This paper studies the missing component in such systems: a world-model corrector that repairs the failed planning graph in place. We compare two families of correctors. The first is the common engineering approach: scan nodes and edges, choose a suspicious local region, and ask an LLM to repair it. We implement strong engineering LLM correctors and find that they can help, especially when given very large contexts. The second family is our approach, WM-SAR (World-Model Subgraph Amplification Repair): instead of scanning for visible symptoms, it works backward from subgraph amplification, identifies the nodes and edges that keep re-amplifying error, and sends only that causal subgraph to the LLM. Across graph simulations and LLM repair experiments, WM-SAR substantially outperforms engineering correctors under realistic token budgets, achieves near-whole-graph stabilization with a compact region, and gives the LLM a cleaner repair target.

Verifiable Knowledge Expansion through Retrieval-Grounded Formal Concept Analysis

通过检索驱动的形式概念分析实现可验证的知识扩展
Yang, Yujin, Lee, Heejung
Abstract
Ontology construction requires deciding which objects, attributes, and structural relations should be accepted as valid knowledge. Language models can propose such structures from text, but their outputs can still be unsupported or inconsistent. This paper proposes a retrieval-augmented small language model (SLM) framework that uses formal concept analysis (FCA) as a symbolic verification loop for knowledge expansion. Starting from seed attributes, FCA proposes implications over a growing formal context. A retrieval-grounded SLM oracle then validates each implication or returns a counterexample. The oracle also supports incidence judgments, consistency checks, and attribute proposals, making accepted implications, counterexamples, contradictions, and corrections inspectable. In a rare ataxia setting constructed from Orphadata resources, retrieval-grounded 10-seed runs obtain relation F1 of 0.29-0.52 and closure-based implication F1 of 0.22-0.30. Larger seed sets increase the number of evaluated implications and often improve implication F1. The lower implication scores reflect a stricter evaluation of derived implications, where one missed or extra relation can affect several implication judgments. Ablations show that incidence judgments in a fixed object-attribute setting can improve closure-based implication scores. However, identifying positive object-attribute pairs remains difficult even when the candidate objects and attributes are fixed.

Abstract
Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive models. Unlike standard diffusion-based approaches, DLMs are not explicitly conditioned on a timestep, raising a natural question: do these models internally represent denoising progress, and how is such information used downstream? In this work, we show that DLMs do in fact encode a latent representation related to the diffusion timestep within their residual streams. We find that this signal can be reliably extracted using probes across layers, indicating that denoising progress is decodable from internal activations. We further demonstrate that steering the model along a low-dimensional subspace associated with the inferred timestep allows us to systematically modulate its notion of denoising progress, leading to predictable changes in model confidence and entropy. Finally, we analyse the geometry of the identified representation, showing that it exhibits structured and interpretable properties in activation space, and shedding light on how such a signal is processed by these models.

Safety Testing LLM Agents at Scale: From Risk Discovery to Evidence-Grounded Verification

大规模安全测试LLM代理:从风险发现到证据基础验证

Abstract
LLM agents increasingly perform autonomous actions through external tools, leading to complex and evolving safety risks. However, existing safety testing targets expert-designed safety violations, and the corresponding outcomes are evaluated by hard-coded rules, making them costly to extend as agents evolve. To this end, we present Vera, an end-to-end automated safety testing framework that instantiates software engineering testing principles for non-deterministic agents through a three-stage, self-reinforcing pipeline. First, a literature-driven exploration continuously discovers and structures emerging risks into taxonomies of safety risks, attack methods, and tool execution environments. Second, combinatorial composition across taxonomy dimensions produces executable safety cases, each specifying a concrete safety goal, a programmatically constructed initial state, and a deterministic verification predicate grounded in observable artifacts. Third, adaptive execution runs heterogeneous agents in isolated sandboxes where a control agent steers multi-turn interaction based on runtime observations, while evidence-grounded verifiers judge outcomes from environment state and tool-call evidence rather than model self-report. We evaluate Vera on four production agent frameworks (OpenClaw, Hermes, Codex, Claude Code), revealing substantial safety weaknesses, with average attack success rates reaching 93.9\% under multi-channel attacks; we also release Vera-Bench, comprising 1600 executable safety cases spanning 124 risk categories across three execution settings. These results indicate that modular, executable testing infrastructure is essential for rigorous and maintainable safety evaluation of rapidly evolving agentic systems at scale.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis, particularly through tongue inspection, faces persistent challenges in subjectivity and reproducibility. The application of multimodal artificial intelligence to TCM clinical tasks, such as syndrome differentiation and prescription generation, is significantly hampered by the semantic gap between visual tongue features and textual reasoning, as well as the lack of large-scale, standardized datasets. To address these challenges, we introduce MMIR-TCM, a novel framework that emulates the diagnostic process of TCM experts by integrating multimodal large language model(MLLM) with memory-augmented segmentation and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Employing a three-stage architecture, MMIR-TCM integrates a training-free Memory-SAM module for robust tongue extraction, a fine-tuned Qwen3-VL model for structured tongue diagnosis generation, and a Qwen3-based RAG component for evidence-grounded clinical decision support generation. The framework was developed and validated using MedTCM, a new large-scale multimodal dataset that we introduce specifically for advanced TCM research. To properly evaluate our framework's clinical accuracy, which existing metrics fail to capture, we also developed TDEU, a domain-specific evaluation metric incorporating semantic understanding and diagnostic importance. Our comprehensive experiments demonstrate that MMIR-TCM significantly outperforms leading models, including GPT-4o and Gemini 2.5 Flash.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly proposed for aviation business operations, from documentation and training generation to customer facing assistants. General purpose benchmarks do not measure whether a model reasons safely and correctly about aviation specific operational knowledge, and the high stakes, regulated nature of the domain makes that gap consequential. We present Pre-Flight, an open source benchmark of 300 multiple choice questions drawn from international standards and airport ground operations material, covering international airport ground operations, ICAO and US FAA regulations, aviation general knowledge and complex operational scenarios. Questions were authored and reviewed by practitioners with experience in air traffic management, ground operations and commercial flying. We evaluate a range of contemporary commercial and open weight models using the Inspect evaluation framework, scoring by accuracy under a standard multiple choice protocol, and we maintain the leaderboard on a rolling basis as new models are released. Against an informal expert reference of around 95%, obtained from a low sample quiz of aviation professionals at a conference, even the strongest model evaluated (released in 2026) reaches 82.7%, having improved only gradually from roughly 75% in early 2025. A substantial and persistent gap below expert level reliability therefore remains. We release the dataset, the evaluation harness and the results, and the benchmark is available within the community evaluations package distributed with inspect_evals. We argue that domain specific evaluation of this kind is a necessary precondition for responsible deployment of generative AI in non safety critical aviation operations.

大型语言模型(LLMs)在航空业务运营中的应用日益增多,从文档和培训生成到客户服务助手。然而,通用基准无法衡量模型在航空特定运营知识方面的推理是否安全和正确,而该领域的高风险和受监管特性使得这一差距变得尤为重要。我们提出了Pre-Flight,这是一个开放源代码的基准,包含300道多项选择题,题目来源于国际标准和机场地面操作材料,涵盖国际机场地面操作、国际民航组织(ICAO)和美国联邦航空局(FAA)法规、航空一般知识和复杂的操作场景。这些问题由具有空中交通管理、地面操作和商业飞行经验的从业者撰写和审核。我们使用Inspect评估框架评估一系列当代商业和开放模型,通过标准多项选择协议的准确性进行评分,并在新模型发布时持续维护排行榜。与从航空专业人士在会议上进行的低样本测验获得的约95%的非正式专家参考相比,即使是评估的最强模型(预计于2026年发布)也仅达到82.7%,其准确率从2025年初的约75%仅逐渐提升。因此,专家级可靠性下仍然存在显著且持续的差距。我们发布了数据集、评估工具和结果,该基准可在与inspect_evals一起分发的社区评估包中获得。我们认为,这种领域特定的评估是负责任地在非安全关键的航空操作中部署生成性人工智能的必要前提。

Actual causality in fault trees

故障树中的实际因果关系
Caltais, Georgiana, Lopuhaä-Zwakenberg, Milan, Stoelinga, Mariëlle
Abstract
Fault trees are a widely used as effective risk models for complex systems, answering the question "what can go wrong?", especially through minimal cut set analysis. We study fault trees from the perspective of Halpern & Pearl's theory of actual causality. This allows us to use fault trees to answer the question "why has it gone wrong?", which is fundamental to failure diagnostics. We give a complete classification of each of the different notions of actual causality in terms of the fault tree's graph structure and logical structure, and show how minimal cut sets give rise to actual causes.

CLAP: Closed-Loop Training, Evaluation, and Release Control for Domain Agent Post-training

CLAP:领域代理后训练的闭环训练、评估与发布控制
Li, Fangfei, Zhao, Chenyang, Wang, Long, Tian, Feng, Zheng, Zhiyue, Guo, Lv
Abstract
Domain agents often face noisy business data, uncertain post-training gains, offline/application mismatch, and adapter-release risk. This paper presents CLAP (Closed-Loop Agent Post-training), a closed-loop method that converts business data into structured SFT samples, decision-preference samples, holdout sets, risk diagnostics, and release-gate records. CLAP combines data validation, target/evidence normalization, reward/KL diagnosis, offline gates, and application-chain replay to decide whether an adapter is suitable for the target application chain. On five anonymized manufacturing-scenario batches, QLoRA-style LoRA-SFT yields modest average gains: overall score increases by 0.0098, pass rate by 0.0240, and evidence accuracy by 0.0280, while hallucination and wrong facts decrease. Yet only 3 of 5 batches improve, some batches regress, and GRPO exposes high KL risks. Application-chain replay further shows that RAG is necessary for factual extraction; under the same 3B backbone and 100 replay cases, an application-RAG-oriented LoRA-SFT adapter improves value, core fields, and answer-evidence doc/page matching over base+RAG, but increases latency. These results support managing domain-agent post-training through an integrated data-training-evaluation-release loop rather than relying on training completion or a single offline score.

Safety Targeted Embedding Exploit via Refinement

通过精炼实现安全目标嵌入利用
Cahyono, Joshua Adrian
Abstract
Safety training for large language models (LLMs) is conducted predominantly in English, leaving uncertain how well safety mechanisms generalize to low-resource languages and mixed-language code-switching. We show that this creates an epistemic gap in which models confidently generate harmful responses for inputs that fall outside the distribution of their safety training. To study this phenomenon, we introduce STEER (Safety Targeted Embedding Exploit via Refinement), a gradient-guided attack that identifies words contributing most strongly to the model's refusal behavior and iteratively translates them into low-resource languages to suppress refusal while preserving harmful intent. Across six open-source 8B-parameter models, STEER achieves attack success rates of up to 93.0% on JailbreakBench and 96.7% on AdvBench, outperforming random code-switching and Greedy Coordinate Gradient (GCG). The resulting prompts also transfer to GPT-4o-mini, achieving a 35.5% attack success rate without requiring access to the target model, suggesting that the underlying weakness is not specific to a single architecture. These findings demonstrate that safety mechanisms aligned primarily on English cannot be assumed to generalize across multilingual inputs. We argue that improving multilingual safety requires broader coverage during alignment and mechanisms that explicitly detect and abstain on out-of-distribution inputs.

大型语言模型(LLMs)的安全训练主要以英语进行,这使得我们不确定安全机制在低资源语言和混合语言代码切换中的泛化能力。我们展示了这造成了一个认识上的差距,使得模型在生成超出其安全训练分布的输入时,自信地产生有害响应。为了研究这一现象,我们引入了STEER(通过精炼实现安全目标嵌入利用),这是一种基于梯度的攻击方法,能够识别对模型拒绝行为贡献最大的词汇,并将其迭代翻译成低资源语言,以抑制拒绝同时保留有害意图。在六个开源的8B参数模型中,STEER在JailbreakBench上的攻击成功率高达93.0%,在AdvBench上为96.7%,优于随机代码切换和贪婪坐标梯度(Greedy Coordinate Gradient, GCG)。生成的提示也可以迁移到GPT-4o-mini上,达到35.5%的攻击成功率,而无需访问目标模型,这表明潜在的弱点并非特定于单一架构。这些发现表明,主要针对英语的安全机制不能假定能够在多语言输入中泛化。我们认为,提高多语言安全性需要在对齐过程中更广泛的覆盖,并且需要能够明确检测和对超出分布输入进行拒绝的机制。

CamoNAS: Neural Architecture Search for Enhanced Camouflaged Object Detection

CamoNAS:增强伪装物体检测的神经架构搜索
Ren, Dawei, Zhang, Yan, Tang, Hongying, Zhou, Qiaoling, Liu, Jianpo
Abstract
Camouflaged Object Detection (COD) aims to locate and segment objects that blend into their surroundings, presenting challenges due to weak edge cues and ill-defined boundaries. Traditional COD models rely on hand-designed architectures and multi-scale feature fusion, which are often guided by intuition rather than systematic search. This paper introduces CamoNAS, a frequency-aware multi-resolution Neural Architecture Search (NAS) framework for COD. CamoNAS automatically searches both cell-level operations and network-level downsampling paths, forming a hierarchical search space tailored to detect camouflaged objects. Additionally, it adopts an RGB frequency dual-stream architecture, where a learnable wavelet transform complements the RGB spatial stream. CamoNAS achieves state-of-the-art performance on four COD benchmarks (CAMO, COD10K, NC4K, CHAMELEON), highlighting the effectiveness of NAS for COD. Our code is available at https://github.com/rendaweiSIMIT/CamoNAS.

SkillCoach: Self-Evolving Rubrics for Evaluating and Enhancing Agentic Skill-Use

SkillCoach:自我演化的评估标准用于评估和提升代理技能的使用
Zhu, Jiayin, Mao, Kelong, Guo, Yudong, He, Dengbo, Xu, Sulong, Gu, Simiu, Yue, Yutao
Abstract
Skills are becoming a reusable operational layer for LLM agents, encoding SOPs, domain rules, tool workflows, scripts, and validation routines. In realistic skill repositories, overlapping skills make reliable skill-use difficult. Final verifier success is too coarse for both evaluation and training, since an agent may pass through trial and error while selecting distractor skills, skipping required steps, composing workflows incorrectly or omitting final checks. We introduce SkillCoach, a self-evolving rubric framework for evaluating and enhancing agentic skill-use. SkillCoach derives skill-grounded process rubrics from real rollouts and evaluates trajectories along four dimensions: skill selection, skill following, skill composition, and skill-grounded reflection. It keeps the external verifier as a separate outcome signal, allowing process quality to be distinguished from accidental task success. The evolved rubrics further serve as process supervision for selecting high-quality training trajectories. Experiments show that evolved rubrics substantially improve evaluation quality, expose failures hidden by final accuracy, and provide stronger supervision signals than outcome-only filtering for enhancing agentic skill-use.

Spec-AUF: Accept-Until-Fail Training under Train-Inference Misalignment for Masked Block Drafters

Spec-AUF:在训练-推理不一致下的接受直到失败训练用于掩码块草拟器
Yang, Tianjian, Li, Meng
Abstract
Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive generation by drafting a block of tokens that the target model verifies left-to-right, committing only the longest accepted prefix. Block (DLM-style) drafters predict the whole block in parallel, which is fast but trained with a full-block cross-entropy that supervises every position against the gold continuation -- even though inference discards every token after the first rejection. Recent acceptance-aware objectives patch this by reweighting the full-block loss; we instead use teacher-forced learning as a motivation for how supervision should concentrate on the accepted prefix. A mask-only block drafter has no input-side channel for gold-prefix conditioning, so AUF approximates that prefix-sensitive supervision on the loss side by keeping the cross-entropy support only through the drafter's first predicted failure. AUF is a single, detached change to the CE support -- no auxiliary objective, no verifier rollouts, and no change to the inference pipeline or the exactness contract. Within fixed drafter backbones and serving settings on Qwen3-8B, AUF raises the DFlash drafter's average emitted length $\tau$, averaged over six benchmarks, from 2.40 to 2.61, with a gain on every benchmark, and transfers to Domino's two-branch head (2.56 to 2.68). Two findings sharpen the picture: the decay-only baseline reaches higher token accuracy on the shared block mask yet decodes worse, and on DFlash, once AUF truncates the support, the standard exponential position-decay weighting becomes empirically inert.

Rethinking Complexity Metrics for LLM-Integrated Applications: Beyond Source Code

重新思考 LLM 集成应用的复杂性度量:超越源代码
Xu, Zihao, Li, Yuekang, Deng, Gelei, Liu, Yi, Xing, Zhenchang
Abstract
LLM-integrated applications blend natural language prompts with program code, and much of their runtime behavior originates in the prompt layer rather than in the code itself. Existing complexity metrics, however, operate solely at the code level and therefore overlook this behavioral logic entirely. We present HECATE, the first tool designed to assess complexity in both the prompt and code layers of such applications. Central to HECATE is Prompt-as-Specification, a Hoare-logic-inspired formalism that interprets every prompt as a specification of intended behavior. Grounded in 25 complexity dimensions identified across published taxonomies, the tool generates 52 candidate metrics. We assess each metric against 118 components collected from 18 open-source repositories, relying on maintenance activity derived from version history as an empirical proxy for complexity, and discard any metric that loses significance once code size is accounted for. Only ten metrics withstand this test. Seven belong to our newly introduced set; rather than measuring sheer volume, each tallies structurally distinct elements, such as LLM call sites, memory attributes, and prompt templates, an attribute we call structural breadth. Of the three surviving conventional metrics, RFC exhibits a similar breadth-oriented character, while Halstead N and V survive only as a residual effect of size; our top-performing metrics exceed all three. Crucially, the prompt-layer metrics retain significance even when the strongest code-level metric is added as a covariate, establishing prompt complexity as a dimension in its own right. A final validation on 20 components spanning six held-out repositories shows that the two best-performing metrics continue to predict maintenance effort, supporting their generalizability beyond the training set.

ContextSniper: AntTrail's Token-Efficient Code Memory for Repository-Level Program Repair

ContextSniper:AntTrail 的存储库级程序修复的高效代码记忆
Luk, Chiwang, Najafi, Matin Mohammad, Jia, Zhifeng, Yang, Wei, Li, Xiuchang, Zhu, Jinwei, Ren, Yang, Chen, Lei, Cong, Gao
Abstract
Large language model agents can repair real repository issues, but they often spend large context budgets on whole-file reads, broad searches, and long terminal outputs where useful evidence is mixed with irrelevant code and logs. This paper presents ContextSniper, AntTrail's token-efficient code memory layer for repository-level program repair. As the coding specialization of AntTrail's broader agent memory engine, ContextSniper implements the Sniper feature for precision evidence selection: it retrieves candidate code and runtime evidence, ranks it with hybrid retrieval signals, filters long outputs through an intention-aware context gate, and returns compact evidence packets while preserving recoverable source context outside the prompt. We evaluate ContextSniper on SWE-bench Lite with OpenClaw and Claude Code, using 50 task runs per host-agent condition. ContextSniper reduces total token use by 51.5% and logged cost by 36.4% for OpenClaw, and reduces total token use by 38.9% and estimated cost by 27.3% for Claude Code. Submitted-resolution rates decrease slightly, from 26.0% to 24.0% for OpenClaw and from 32.0% to 30.0% for Claude Code. ContextSniper's pilot testing scripts are open-sourced at https://github.com/Calluking/ContextSniper

ElephantAgent: Contextual State Continuity in Agentic Systems

大象代理:代理系统中的上下文状态连续性
Jin, Jiankai, Zhang, Xiangzheng, Liu, Zhao, Xu, Wenzhuo, Yang, Dongdong, Zhang, Deyue, Zou, Quanchen
Abstract
Agentic systems enhance their capabilities by invoking external tools and maintaining persistent memory. However, these external dependencies introduce novel attack surfaces. Recent tool and memory poisoning attacks show that maliciously crafted tool descriptors and poisoned memory can covertly bias agent behavior. These threats reflect a deeper issue: the lack of verifiable continuity in the agent's contextual state for planning and execution. We present ElephantAgent, a protocol that enforces Contextual State Continuity to defend against contextual state poisoning. Inspired by prior state-continuity mechanisms (e.g., Nimble), ElephantAgent extends this protection to the evolving contextual state of agentic systems. We define the contextual state as the bounded, security-critical subset of the agent's entire context (e.g., tool state and memory). Before processing each query, ElephantAgent recomputes the digest of the local contextual state and verifies it against the latest authorized digest. Using replicated trusted hardware, ElephantAgent maintains a linearizable ledger of authorized contextual state transitions and detects out-of-band state tampering. To handle in-band semantic abuse, ElephantAgent additionally provides Historical Traceability, enabling conditional post-hoc audit and recovery to a known-good prior state.

代理系统通过调用外部工具和保持持久记忆来增强其能力。然而,这些外部依赖引入了新的攻击面。近期的工具和记忆污染攻击表明,恶意构造的工具描述符和被污染的记忆可以隐秘地影响代理的行为。这些威胁反映了一个更深层次的问题:代理在规划和执行过程中缺乏可验证的上下文状态连续性。我们提出了大象代理(ElephantAgent),一种强制执行上下文状态连续性的协议,以防御上下文状态污染。受到先前状态连续性机制(如 Nimble)的启发,大象代理将这种保护扩展到代理系统不断演变的上下文状态。我们将上下文状态定义为代理整个上下文中有限的、关键信息安全的子集(例如,工具状态和记忆)。在处理每个查询之前,大象代理重新计算本地上下文状态的摘要,并与最新的授权摘要进行验证。通过使用复制的可信硬件,大象代理维护一个线性化的授权上下文状态转换账本,并检测带外状态篡改。为了处理带内语义滥用,大象代理还提供历史可追溯性,支持有条件的事后审计和恢复到已知良好的先前状态。

A-TMA: Decoupling State-Aware Memory Failures in Long-Term Agent Memory

A-TMA:解耦长期智能体记忆中的状态感知内存故障
Shi, Zitong, Tang, Yixuan, Tung, Anthony Kum Hoe
Abstract
Long term memory lets LLM agents act as persistent assistants, but user facts change. A useful memory system must know what is true now, what used to be true, and what changed. We study \emph{ghost memory}, a state coordination failure in which old, current, and transition facts coexist in the memory bank, remain mixed during retrieval, and mislead the answer model. We argue that memory systems should be understood and optimized from three levels: bank maintenance, retrieval, and answer time resolution. We propose ATMA, a state aware overlay for existing memory systems. ATMA keeps superseded and transition records in the bank, builds evidence packets for the query's requested state view, and exposes current, historical, and transition labels to QA. We further call for decoupled evaluation of bank, retrieval, and answer level failures, since final QA accuracy can hide where ghost memory occurs. To make this failure measurable, we build LTP (LoCoMo Temporal Plus), a conflict heavy benchmark for ghost memory, and evaluate on LoCoMo for long conversation generalization. On LTP, Graphiti+ATMA improves conflict accuracy by 0.240 absolute over Graphiti. On LoCoMo, Graphiti+ATMA raises temporal F1 from 0.0295 to 0.1705. The gains are host dependent, but they indicate that explicit state roles can reduce memory failures hidden by final QA accuracy.

Atomic Task Graph: A Unified Framework for Agentic Planning and Execution

原子任务图:一种统一的智能规划与执行框架
Zhang, Yue, Chen, Sihan, Huang, Ziwen, Cui, Hanyun, Ji, Kangye, Wang, Zhi
Abstract
LLM-based agents have shown strong potential for solving complex multi-step tasks, yet existing performance improvements often rely on either scaling to larger backbone models or task-specific fine-tuning. The former incurs substantial computational costs, while the latter typically generalizes poorly across different tasks. Although prompt-based control is training-free and broadly applicable, existing methods still leave input-output dependencies between subtasks implicit in textual trajectories, making verified intermediate results difficult to reuse. To address these limitations, we propose Atomic Task Graph (ATG), a unified control framework for planning and execution. Specifically, ATG maintains an explicit graph to expose dependencies and support reuse. During planning, it recursively decomposes a high-level task into subtasks, forming a sequence of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) whose evolution can be traced. During execution, the dependencies exposed by ATG allow independent branches to be executed in parallel, thereby improving execution efficiency. When failures are detected, ATG leverages the graph evolution history to localize the error source and repair only the affected region, preserving validated regions unchanged. Experiments show that ATG consistently outperforms strong baselines in success rate and execution efficiency across three interactive benchmarks using only 7B-8B backbones.

基于大语言模型(LLM)的智能体在解决复杂的多步骤任务方面展现出了强大的潜力,但现有的性能提升往往依赖于扩大基础模型规模或进行特定任务的微调。前者会产生巨大的计算成本,而后者通常在不同任务之间的泛化能力较差。尽管基于提示的控制方法无需训练且适用范围广,但现有方法仍然在文本轨迹中隐含了子任务之间的输入输出依赖关系,使得验证的中间结果难以重用。为了解决这些限制,我们提出了原子任务图(Atomic Task Graph, ATG),这是一个用于规划和执行的统一控制框架。具体而言,ATG维护一个显式图以揭示依赖关系并支持重用。在规划过程中,它递归地将高层任务分解为子任务,形成一系列有向无环图(DAG),其演变过程可以被追踪。在执行过程中,ATG揭示的依赖关系允许独立分支并行执行,从而提高执行效率。当检测到失败时,ATG利用图的演变历史来定位错误源,并仅修复受影响的区域,保持已验证区域不变。实验表明,ATG在成功率和执行效率方面在三个交互基准测试中始终优于强基线,仅使用7B-8B的基础模型。

OntoLearner: A Modular Python Library for Ontology Learning with Large Language Models

OntoLearner:一个基于大型语言模型的模块化本体学习Python库
Giglou, Hamed Babaei, D'Souza, Jennifer, Aioanei, Andrei, Mihindukulasooriya, Nandana, Auer, Sören
Abstract
Ontology learning (OL) aims to automatically construct structured knowledge models from text, yet progress remains fragmented across methods, domains, and evaluation practices. Despite decades of research, OL lacks a shared infrastructure for systematic evaluation and ontology access. This absence has hindered progress and fragmented research, leaving the central challenges of OL largely unaddressed. We introduce OntoLearner, a modular, cross-domain, and first-of-its-kind framework that unifies ontology access, large language model (LLM)-driven learning pipelines, and standardized benchmarking. OntoLearner releases 180 machine-readable ontologies spanning 22 domains and provides pipeline-ready datasets with train/dev/test splits for three core OL tasks: term typing, taxonomy discovery, and non-taxonomic relation extraction. Using this infrastructure, we conduct a large-scale empirical study of OL, evaluating 22 retrieval models and 12 LLMs across domains and tasks. The results converge on a finding that reframes the central challenge of OL: failure modes scale with ontological complexity rather than model size or architectural sophistication. The primary bottleneck is not model capability, but a structural mismatch between how models encode knowledge and how ontologies organize it. These findings establish that effective OL is reachable through the cross-domain, multi-task benchmarking enabled by OntoLearner.

本体学习(Ontology Learning, OL)旨在从文本中自动构建结构化知识模型,但在方法、领域和评估实践方面的进展仍然碎片化。尽管经过数十年的研究,OL缺乏用于系统评估和本体访问的共享基础设施。这一缺失阻碍了进展并导致研究的碎片化,使得OL的核心挑战大多未得到解决。我们介绍了OntoLearner,这是一个模块化的跨领域框架,首创性地统一了本体访问、大型语言模型(Large Language Model, LLM)驱动的学习流程和标准化基准测试。OntoLearner发布了涵盖22个领域的180个机器可读本体,并提供了针对三个核心OL任务(术语分类、分类法发现和非分类关系提取)的管道准备数据集,包括训练/开发/测试划分。利用这一基础设施,我们对OL进行了大规模实证研究,评估了22个检索模型和12个LLM在不同领域和任务中的表现。结果汇聚出一个发现,重新框定了OL的核心挑战:失败模式与本体复杂性相关,而非模型大小或架构复杂性。主要瓶颈并非模型能力,而是模型编码知识的方式与本体组织知识的方式之间的结构不匹配。这些发现表明,通过OntoLearner所支持的跨领域、多任务基准测试,可以实现有效的OL。OntoLearner是开源的(MIT许可证),可在https://github.com/sciknoworg/OntoLearner/获取。

Multimodal Knowledge Edit-Scoped Generalization for Online Recursive MLLM Editing

在线递归多模态大语言模型编辑的多模态知识编辑范围泛化
Li, Siyuan, Zhang, Youyuan, Liu, Ruitong, Wang, Junxi, Li, Jing
Abstract
Online multimodal knowledge editing requires injecting a continual stream of visual-textual corrections into multimodal large language models (MLLMs) with bounded overhead and minimal disruption to unrelated behaviors. Existing editors mainly emphasize edit reliability and long-horizon stability, but rarely control the semantic boundary of each edit. Our pilot analyses of post-edit behaviors and internal neuronal activities reveal a scope gap behind reliable edits: instance-level success neither guarantees transfer to valid cross-modal variants nor prevents leakage to unrelated inputs, while edit-related cross-modal responses concentrate in deeper semantic layers. Therefore, we formulate Edit-Scoped Generalization, reframing online MLLM editing from merely correcting an instance to controlling the propagation boundary of each edit. To this end, we propose ScopeEdit, a scope-aware online editor that decomposes each update into a modality-local absorption branch and an evidence-gated shared generalization branch. The local branch supports stable edit absorption, whereas the shared branch enables cross-modal propagation only when visual and textual evidence are sufficiently aligned. Both branches perform scope-separated write geometries in orthogonal low-rank spaces and maintain branch-wise preconditioners via Sherman--Morrison recursions, yielding constant per-edit overhead. Extensive experiments across diverse benchmarks, long-horizon edit streams, MLLM backbones, real-world VLKEB scenarios, and complex vision-language architectures show that ScopeEdit consistently improves the trade-off between in-scope cross-modal transfer and out-of-scope locality, while preserving edit reliability, stability and online efficiency.

在线多模态知识编辑需要将持续的视觉-文本校正流注入多模态大语言模型(MLLMs),同时保持有限的开销和对无关行为的最小干扰。现有的编辑器主要强调编辑的可靠性和长时间稳定性,但很少控制每次编辑的语义边界。我们对后编辑行为和内部神经活动的初步分析揭示了可靠编辑背后的范围差距:实例级的成功既不能保证有效的跨模态变体的转移,也无法防止对无关输入的泄漏,而与编辑相关的跨模态响应则集中在更深的语义层。因此,我们提出了编辑范围泛化(Edit-Scoped Generalization),将在线 MLLM 编辑从单纯的实例校正重新构建为控制每次编辑的传播边界。为此,我们提出了 ScopeEdit,一种具有范围感知的在线编辑器,它将每次更新分解为一个模态局部吸收分支和一个证据门控共享泛化分支。局部分支支持稳定的编辑吸收,而共享分支仅在视觉和文本证据充分对齐时才允许跨模态传播。两个分支在正交低秩空间中执行范围分离的写几何,并通过 Sherman-Morrison 递归保持分支级别的预条件器,从而实现每次编辑的恒定开销。在多样化基准、长时间编辑流、MLLM 主干、真实世界 VLKEB 场景和复杂的视觉-语言架构中进行的大量实验表明,ScopeEdit 一直在范围内的跨模态转移与范围外的局部性之间改善了权衡,同时保持了编辑的可靠性、稳定性和在线效率。我们的代码可在 https://github.com/lab-klc/ScopeEdit 获取。

Episodic-to-Semantic Consolidation Without Identity Drift

无身份漂移的情节到语义的整合
Qin, Xue, Luan, Simin, Yang, Cong, Li, Zhijun
Abstract
Long-running adaptive intelligent agents face a structural tension between knowledge consolidation and information integrity. Memory consolidation is conventionally treated as an agent-changing operation: a model is fine-tuned, a prompt rewritten, a policy distilled, or a reflection appended to the context that governs future behaviour. In regulated autonomic deployment this is a liability because the agent operates under commitments and audit contracts that bind to a specific, cryptographically certified identity. We propose to treat consolidation not as a mutation of the planner or the identity manifest, but as a deterministic function f: M^ep -> M^sem over episodic memory whose output is a separately addressable semantic knowledge layer; the identity hash does not read M^sem, so consolidation updates knowledge without changing the agent's certified identity. We give a formal account of the agent representation, prove identity invariance through a structural lemma on the manifest's hash-input set, specify a deterministic aggregation algorithm whose outputs are auditable database rows with explicit confidence and supporting-event provenance, and validate the construction with synthetic experiments demonstrating per-field correctness, byte-equal identity across consolidation passes, and a mean 79.82% reduction in unproductive planner attempts (95% BCa CI [78.02%, 81.49%] across 10 seeds) against a calibrated Bayesian-shrunk baseline. The construction is a knowledge-update discipline for autonomic agents in which lessons accumulate as queryable facts while the agent's certified identity remains byte-equal across its operational lifetime, with an embodied service agent as the running case study.

Traceable Fault Diagnosis for Battery Energy Storage Systems via Retrieval-Augmented Multi-Agent O&M Assistant

基于检索增强的多智能体运维助手的可追溯电池储能系统故障诊断
Ru, Jiangdi, Li, Bing, Huang, Yage, Wang, Ding, Hua, Keru
Abstract
Large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) require O&M decisions that combine alarms, cell-level measurements, device topology, diagnostic tables, historical cases, and maintenance documents. Monitoring platforms can flag threshold violations, but they often cannot explain whether voltage inconsistency, resistance drift, short-circuit risk, capacity divergence, or thermal abnormality needs intervention. This digest presents a traceable BESS fault-diagnosis assistant that uses retrieval-augmented multi-agent reasoning to connect operational data, domain knowledge, visual evidence, and report generation. Reliability is improved through BESS-specific task routing, schema-constrained natural-language database access, hybrid text-image retrieval, and evidence-based answer synthesis. Preliminary internal evaluation is reported for routing, database access, and diagnostic reasoning.

InduceKV: Fixed-Footprint Continual Adaptation of Multimodal LLMs via Inducing KV Memories

InduceKV:通过诱导KV记忆实现多模态大语言模型的固定占用持续适应
Chen, Qianyu, Feng, Ziteng, Xiao, Canran, Tang, Runxuan
Abstract
Multimodal large language models must adapt to evolving tasks and domains, yet continual improvement under bounded deployment footprint remains difficult because repeated parameter updates or growing replay stores can accumulate adaptation state over time. We study fixed-footprint continual adaptation: the deployed adaptation state is kept under a fixed memory budget, while the backbone model is left unchanged and task-specific updates are externalized. We propose InduceKV, a retrieval-based method that stores each selected training prefix as an attention-ready memory entry, consisting of a frozen retrieval key and compact layerwise key--value (KV) payloads that can be appended to the model's self-attention cache. Under a strict memory budget, InduceKV constructs a compact inducing set through bilevel selection: a lightweight calibration is fit for retrieval, while the selected memory balances current-task likelihood, anchor-based retention, and coverage in the frozen retrieval space. Across task-incremental instruction tuning, continual VQA, domain-incremental adaptation, and lifelong multimodal instruction tuning, InduceKV consistently improves over PEFT, MoE, replay, and prompt-retrieval baselines under matched memory budgets. We further report backbone-matched, stage-1 CoIN, compute-matched, and scalability diagnostics, showing that the gains are not due to a stronger backbone, replay alone, or an unbounded candidate pool.

Hidden Forgetting in Continual Multimodal Learning: When Accuracy Survives but Grounding Fails

持续多模态学习中的隐性遗忘:当准确性得以保留但基础失效时
Chen, Qianyu, Xiao, Canran, Tang, Runxuan
Abstract
Multimodal large language models must continually adapt to evolving tasks and domains, yet standard continual learning metrics mainly measure whether old answers remain correct, leaving the stability of multimodal grounding largely unexamined. We study this overlooked failure mode and ask whether a continually adapted MLLM can preserve not only what it answers, but also how it uses visual, textual, OCR, chart, and document evidence. We identify \emph{hidden evidence-use forgetting}, where answer accuracy is retained while the model silently shifts toward different or less grounded evidence channels, and propose \textsc{RCL}, a replay-free reliance-constrained continual learning framework. \textsc{RCL} freezes the previous checkpoint as a behavioral reference, estimates teacher and student evidence-reliance profiles through counterfactual channel interventions, and jointly optimizes task learning, prediction preservation, and reliance preservation without adding inference-time cost. Across CoIN, COAST, MCITlib, and an evidence-sensitive multimodal stream, \textsc{RCL} consistently improves final performance and reduces forgetting over replay-free, PEFT, routing, and memory-assisted baselines, while substantially lowering modality reliance drift, dominant evidence flips, and hidden forgetting rates. These results suggest that robust continual multimodal learning requires preserving the evidence path behind correct answers, not merely the answers themselves.

PACE: A Proxy for Agentic Capability Evaluation

PACE:代理能力评估的代理工具
Song, Yueqi, Sutawika, Lintang, Liu, Jiarui, Tjuatja, Lindia, Geng, Jiayi, Xiao, Yunze, Lee, Daniel, Soni, Aditya Bharat, Lo, Vincent, Yue, Xiang, Neubig, Graham
Abstract
Evaluating LLM agents on benchmarks like SWE-Bench and GAIA can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires complex infrastructure. A single evaluation can cost thousands of dollars and take days to complete. In contrast, non-agentic LLM benchmarks that test individual capabilities (e.g., reasoning, code generation) are fast and cheap to run. In this paper, we investigate whether performance on expensive agentic benchmarks can be accurately predicted by the performance on a small, carefully selected subset of atomic evaluation instances. We introduce PACE, a framework that constructs proxy benchmarks by selecting instances from existing non-agentic evaluations whose aggregate scores most reliably predict model performances on agentic benchmarks. Given a pool of candidate instances spanning atomic capabilities, PACE fits a regression that maps a model's scores on a compact subset of source instances to its score on the target agentic benchmark. The subset itself is curated by combining two complementary instance-selection strategies, target-relevance local selection and globally informative global selection. We apply PACE to the 4 target agentic benchmarks in this paper, which yields PACE-Bench, the concrete proxy benchmark that we evaluate in the paper. Experiments across 14 models, 4 agentic benchmarks, and 19 non-agentic benchmarks show that PACE-Bench predicts agentic scores with leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) mean absolute error (MAE) under 4%, Spearman correlation above 0.80, and pairwise model-ranking accuracy around 85%, all at much less than 1% of the full agentic evaluation cost. We further analyze the selected proxy instances, revealing which skills each agentic benchmark uniquely demands. PACE enables practitioners to obtain reliable estimates of agentic performance during model development, selection, and routing, without the overhead of full agent evaluation.

Algebraic Model Counting for Global Analysis of Optimal Decision Trees

用于最优决策树全球分析的代数模型计数
Arimura, Hiroki
Abstract
Ensuring model reliability in Explainable AI requires a global assessment of the hypothesis space. We propose a formal framework for the exhaustive analysis of optimal and near-optimal decision trees, called Algebraic Decision Tree Counting (ADTC). Inspired by Algebraic Model Counting (AMC) in knowledge representation, ADTC reformulates diverse analytical tasks, such as optimization, counting, and sampling, into a unified sum-of-products computation over a semiring $R$. While the hypothesis space of decision trees is doubly exponential with respect to the maximum depth $\Delta$, our dynamic programming algorithm achieves $O^*(n^{O(\Delta)})$ time complexity in the number of features $n$, where $O^*$ suppresses polynomial factors. To handle complex constraints consisting of multiple tree metrics, we introduce model behavior tensors that aggregate semiring values via convolution products over a tensor semiring. This algebraic approach efficiently constructs a model profile that captures the global landscape and trade-offs between criteria such as accuracy, size, and fairness. We demonstrate the utility of our software, emtrees, on real-world datasets, illustrating how ADTC facilitates evidence-based model selection in sensitive domains.

Evidence-State Rewards for Long-Context Reasoning

用于长上下文推理的证据状态奖励
Gao, Ya, Marttinen, Pekka
Abstract
Long-context reasoning requires models to locate, revise, and synthesize evidence distributed across lengthy inputs. Existing long-context RL methods usually reward final answers or static evidence extraction, offering little feedback on how intermediate actions change the model's evidence state. We propose Maven, a reinforcement learning framework with an editable evidence memory. Maven defines an answer-conditioned evidence-state value and rewards action-level state transitions: add actions are credited by marginal gain and hindsight contribution, link actions by evidence synergy, and drop actions by improved answer support after removing misleading evidence. These rewards are assigned to the corresponding action spans in GRPO. Across Llama and Qwen models on LongBench v2, LongReason, and RULER, Maven outperforms outcome-only RL and evidence-identification baselines, producing more sufficient evidence sets and lower distractor retention. Our results show that long-context RL benefits from optimizing stateful evidence navigation rather than one-shot evidence extraction.

SUNTA: Hierarchical Video Prediction with Surprise-based Chunking

SUNTA:基于惊讶的分块层次视频预测
Iiyama, Tomoshi, Suzuki, Masahiro, Matsuo, Yutaka
Abstract
Hierarchical state-space models (HSSMs) offer a promising approach to long-horizon prediction by segmenting sequences into temporal chunks. However, their performance hinges on how chunk boundaries are determined. While prior HSSMs typically rely on fixed-length chunking or similarity-based boundary detection, these methods often misalign with the intrinsic temporal structure of the data. We argue that chunking should instead be driven by prediction errors, which more directly indicate when longer-range context becomes necessary. Nevertheless, integrating surprise-based chunking into HSSMs introduces critical challenges, including hierarchical collapse during end-to-end training and the absence of surprise signals during open-loop prediction. To address these issues, we propose Surprise-based Nested Temporal Abstraction (SUNTA), a method that employs a decoupled training strategy to preserve surprise signals and uses internal inconsistency as a top-down surprise metric to determine chunk boundaries within imagined rollouts. Experiments on video prediction tasks in 2D and 3D environments demonstrate that SUNTA outperforms baselines, uniquely maintaining accurate predictions over 250 timesteps, whereas all baselines degrade within the first 10 timesteps.

层次状态空间模型(HSSMs)通过将序列分割为时间块,为长时间范围预测提供了一种有前景的方法。然而,它们的性能依赖于分块边界的确定方式。虽然先前的HSSMs通常依赖于固定长度的分块或基于相似性的边界检测,但这些方法往往与数据的内在时间结构不一致。我们认为,分块应由预测误差驱动,这更直接地指示出何时需要更长范围的上下文。然而,将基于惊讶的分块集成到HSSMs中引入了关键挑战,包括在端到端训练期间的层次崩溃以及在开放环预测期间缺乏惊讶信号。为了解决这些问题,我们提出了基于惊讶的嵌套时间抽象(SUNTA),该方法采用解耦的训练策略以保留惊讶信号,并使用内部不一致性作为自上而下的惊讶度量来确定想象展开中的分块边界。在二维和三维环境的视频预测任务上的实验表明,SUNTA的表现优于基线,独特地在250个时间步内保持准确预测,而所有基线在前10个时间步内均出现性能下降。

ContextNest: Verifiable Context Governance for Autonomous AI Agent

ContextNest:自主人工智能代理的可验证上下文治理
Sulpovar, Misha, Konsynski, Benn R., Kanchwala, Qaish, Goodhart, Gabe
Abstract
Autonomous AI agents increasingly depend on external knowledge stores, yet most retrieval pipelines provide relevance without durable guarantees of provenance, version identity, integrity, traceability, or point-in-time reconstruction. We formalize this as context governance and present ContextNext, an open specification and reference implementation for governed AI-consumable knowledge vaults. ContextNext does not replace Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG); it supplies the governance layer beneath retrieval, determining which artifacts are approved, current, attributable, and integrity-verified before retrieval systems operate over them. The specification combines typed Markdown documents with metadata, deterministic set-algebraic selectors, contextnest:// URI references, SHA-256 hash-chained version histories, graph-level checkpoints, source nodes for live data through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and audit traces of agent context consumption. These mechanisms let organizations reconstruct which knowledge versions informed an agent output and whether those versions were AI-eligible when consumed. We report first empirical results from two controlled experiments. In a stale-version attack isolating the governance-versus-retrieval failure mode, governed selection strictly Pareto-dominates BM25 sparse retrieval, with higher answer-quality pass rate (97% versus 93-90%) at about one-third the input-token cost. In a retrieval-determinism experiment over a 1,060-document corpus, deterministic selectors and BM25 return stable document sets across repeated identical queries (Jaccard 1.0), while a dense+HNSW baseline is non-deterministic on 80% of queries (mean Jaccard 0.611, worst case 0.210). These results suggest that context governance addresses failure modes retrieval quality alone is not designed to resolve. We release a core engine, CLI, and MCP server under open licenses.

Enhancing Fitness Intelligence through Domain-Specific LLM Post-Training

通过领域特定的LLM后训练增强健身智能
Zhao, Xingtao, Yang, Tian, Jiang, Han
Abstract
Scientific Fitness Coaching (SFC) is typically delivered by human professionals, making it costly and inaccessible to many. While recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) show considerable promise for more inclusive fitness coaching, directly deploying prevailing general-purpose LLMs in SFC reveals critical limitations. These models often lack sufficient domain-specific knowledge integration, leading to weak performance on complex SFC scenarios. In this paper, we introduce FitOne, a series of fitness LLMs (with 8B and 32B parameters) designed to improve reliability and domain specialization for SFC applications. Built upon the Qwen3 foundation models, FitOne is developed through a three-stage post-training pipeline consisting of continual pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning, using large-scale, high-quality datasets derived from rigorous knowledge engineering. We conduct comprehensive evaluations of FitOne on professional fitness certification exams, including ACSM-EP and NSCA-CSCS, as well as general capabilities such as knowledge reasoning and instruction following. Experimental results show that, while retaining strong general capabilities, FitOne-8B/32B achieves average improvements of up to 10.09%/9.29% and 12.73%/7.01% on the ACSM-EP and NSCA-CSCS exams, respectively, compared with the Qwen3 base models. Furthermore, in-depth ablation studies confirm the necessity of each training stage, highlighting the pipeline's effectiveness in balancing domain expertise enhancement with general ability retention. We believe this research advances LLM systems toward more reliable fitness intelligence and will inspire future research on developing domain-specific LLMs.

Coding-agents can replicate scientific machine learning papers

编码代理可以复制科学机器学习论文
Hans, Atharva, Bilionis, Ilias
Abstract
Scientific machine learning papers typically make computational claims, e.g., that the relative mean square error is less than 5% or that the 95% predictive credible interval covers the test data. A coding agent can be prompted to replicate those claims from paper materials alone, but the prompt does not by itself reliably preserve progress or check whether generated evidence supports the paper's claims. We introduce Paper-replication, a workflow that makes each selected paper claim a target with recorded evidence, and implement it as a coding-agent skill. The workflow makes the agent record those targets, reconstruct the paper's method, run computational experiments, link generated outputs to provenance and comparisons with the paper's claims, record where matched evidence appears in the replication report, and pass validation checks before completion. We evaluate Paper-replication on twelve independent runs across four scientific machine learning papers. All twelve workspaces pass the completion gate, and all 158 recorded targets are matched with report coverage. Even in this completed workspace state, repeated runs differ in how papers are divided into targets, in numerical fidelity to the source papers, in elapsed replication time, in the number of intermediate executions replaced before final evidence is accepted, and in the rules used to accept evidence. Paper-replication makes completion depend on workspace evidence and validation checks rather than on the agent's final message.

科学机器学习论文通常提出计算声明,例如,相对均方误差小于5%或95%的预测可信区间覆盖测试数据。可以通过仅使用论文材料来提示编码代理复制这些声明,但该提示本身并不能可靠地保留进展或检查生成的证据是否支持论文的声明。我们引入了Paper-replication(论文复制),这是一种将每个选定论文声明作为目标并记录证据的工作流程,并将其实现为编码代理技能。该工作流程使代理记录这些目标,重建论文的方法,进行计算实验,将生成的输出与来源和与论文声明的比较联系起来,记录匹配证据在复制报告中的出现位置,并在完成之前通过验证检查。我们在四篇科学机器学习论文的十二次独立运行中评估了Paper-replication。所有十二个工作空间都通过了完成门,所有158个记录的目标都与报告覆盖相匹配。即使在这个完成的工作空间状态中,重复运行在论文如何被划分为目标、与源论文的数值一致性、经过的复制时间、在最终证据被接受之前替换的中间执行次数以及用于接受证据的规则上也存在差异。Paper-replication使得完成依赖于工作空间证据和验证检查,而不是代理的最终消息。

A$^{2}$utoLPBench: An Auto-Generated, Agent-Friendly LP Benchmark via Inverse-KKT Construction

A$^{2}$utoLPBench:通过逆KKT构造生成的、适合代理的线性规划基准测试
Ren, Shuo, Han, Yaohui, Shi, Yifan, Shen, Libo, Lu, Haodong, Wu, Dongfang, Fu, Rongliang, Yu, Bei, Ho, Tsung-Yi
Abstract
Most LP-from-text benchmarks are static datasets of word problems written and labeled by hand. Once such a dataset is released, its size is fixed, its difficulty is fixed, and every problem can leak into the training data of future LLMs. We present \textbf{A$^{2}$utoLPBench}, a benchmark for testing LLM-driven agents on linear programming problems written in plain text. We first pick a feasible point and dual, then write down a problem for which that point is optimal and the objective value is known. The answer is known by construction, with no solver call and no human annotator. The evaluation environment bundles a reference solver-critic baseline and a Docker image whose usage instructions are written for an LLM-driven agent to read. With these in place, any agent can run the benchmark and get a calibrated score with one command. Because the benchmark is a generator rather than a fixed dataset, it has properties no fixed dataset can match: an unlimited supply of fresh problems, a difficulty knob set by $(n,m)$, ground-truth answers correct by construction, low LLM-side cost per problem relative to human authoring, repeatable scores across independent batches, and resistance to training-data leakage when fresh post-cutoff seed ranges are used.

大多数基于文本的线性规划(LP)基准测试是由人工编写和标注的静态数据集。一旦发布,这类数据集的大小和难度都是固定的,并且每个问题都可能泄露到未来大语言模型(LLMs)的训练数据中。我们提出了 extbf{A$^{2}$utoLPBench},这是一个用于测试基于LLM的代理在纯文本线性规划问题上的基准测试。我们首先选择一个可行点和对偶点,然后编写一个以该点为最优解且已知目标值的问题。答案是通过构造得出的,无需求解器调用和人工标注。评估环境包含一个参考求解器-评论基线和一个Docker镜像,其使用说明为基于LLM的代理所编写。通过这些设置,任何代理都可以通过一个命令运行基准测试并获得校准分数。由于该基准测试是一个生成器而非固定数据集,它具有固定数据集无法匹配的特性:无限量的新问题、由$(n,m)$设置的难度调节、构造上正确的真实答案、相对于人工编写的低LLM侧成本、跨独立批次的可重复分数,以及在使用新鲜的截止后种子范围时抵抗训练数据泄漏的能力。

A rubric-based controlled comparison of frontier language models on expert-authored clinical reasoning tasks

基于评分标准的前沿语言模型在专家撰写的临床推理任务上的对比研究
Ismail, Samiha A., Chen, Fan X., Merali, Ali
Abstract
Multiple-choice medical benchmarks are increasingly saturated, and recent rubric-based evaluations such as HealthBench have shown that open-ended clinical performance is far from solved - its "Hard" subset top score remains 32%. We present a small, deliberately difficult evaluation dataset of five clinician-authored clinical scenarios spanning four specialties (anaesthesia, internal/family medicine, emergency medicine, and obstetrics), each accompanied by an atomic, weighted, MECE rubric (25-62 criteria per task; 184 criteria total) authored from a clinician-drafted golden answer. We evaluate three frontier models: GPT 5.4, Claude Opus 4.7, and Gemini 3.1 Pro. Mean rubric pass rates were 0.47 (Claude), 0.39 (GPT), and 0.37 (Gemini). The central finding is an inversion of clinical priority: the highest-weighted (weight-5, critical) criteria passed at only 32.4-41.7%, while low-stakes weight-1 criteria passed at 80-90%. 56 of 108 critical (weight-5) criteria (52%) were satisfied by no model. Three LLM autoraters reproduced expert met/not-met labels on 92.8-94.7% of 552 graded criteria. We position this as a methods-and-preliminary-findings contribution: the five tasks demonstrate a scalable, defensible pipeline ready to develop into a large-scale benchmark.

UA-ChatDev: Uncertainty-Aware Multi-Agent Collaboration for Reliable Software Development

UA-ChatDev:面向不确定性的多智能体协作以实现可靠的软件开发
Ogunsusi, Temitayo Olamilekan, Qian, Lijun, Dong, Xishuang
Abstract
Software development is a complex task that demands cooperation among agents with diverse roles. Large language models (LLMs) have enabled autonomous multi-agent software development frameworks that leverage role-based collaboration to automate requirements analysis, coding, testing, and refinement. However, existing approaches typically assume that intermediate agent outputs are equally reliable, leaving them vulnerable to hallucination propagation, where incorrect decisions generated in early development phases are transferred to downstream agents and negatively impact final software quality. To address this challenge, we propose UA-ChatDev, an uncertainty-aware multi-agent software development framework that integrates uncertainty quantification into agent interactions. It introduces a lightweight uncertainty estimation mechanism based on token-level log probabilities to assess the confidence of agent responses and employs phase-aware threshold calibration to selectively trigger retrieval-based verification when uncertainty exceeds acceptable levels. Extensive experiments on the SRDD benchmark demonstrate that UA-ChatDev consistently outperforms existing single-agent and multi-agent software development frameworks across completeness, executability, consistency, and overall quality metrics. Further ablation studies and communication analyses verify that uncertainty-aware interactions enhance code execution reliability.

软件开发是一项复杂的任务,需要不同角色的智能体之间的合作。大型语言模型(LLMs)使得自主多智能体软件开发框架成为可能,这些框架利用基于角色的协作来自动化需求分析、编码、测试和优化。然而,现有的方法通常假设中间智能体输出同样可靠,这使得它们容易受到幻觉传播的影响,即在早期开发阶段产生的不正确决策被转移到下游智能体,从而对最终软件质量产生负面影响。为了解决这一挑战,我们提出了UA-ChatDev,一个面向不确定性的多智能体软件开发框架,该框架将不确定性量化集成到智能体交互中。它引入了一种基于标记级日志概率的轻量级不确定性估计机制,以评估智能体响应的信心,并采用阶段感知阈值校准,在不确定性超过可接受水平时选择性地触发基于检索的验证。在SRDD基准上的广泛实验表明,UA-ChatDev在完整性、可执行性、一致性和整体质量指标上始终优于现有的单智能体和多智能体软件开发框架。进一步的消融研究和通信分析验证了面向不确定性的交互增强了代码执行的可靠性。

Criticality-Based Guard Rail Validation for AI Agent Decisions in Autonomous Telecom Networks

基于关键性验证的自主通信网络中人工智能代理决策的防护机制
Sharma, Ravi Kant
Abstract
The evolution toward fully autonomous telecommunications networks (Autonomous Network Levels 4-5) requires AI/ML agents to make real-time network decisions without human intervention. However, no standardized runtime mechanism exists to intercept and validate individual inference outputs before they trigger live network state changes, creating risks of erroneous autonomous decisions. This paper proposes the Guard Rail Validation (GRV) framework, a standardizable runtime architecture for intercepting and validating AI-driven decisions before execution. The framework evaluates decisions across multiple weighted dimensions -- including action scope, action type, service criticality, agent autonomy level, reversibility, and temporal behavioural patterns -- to determine a criticality level. Based on this level, graduated validation mechanisms are applied: execute-with-logging, bounds checking, independent agent validation, or multi-agent consensus. The framework additionally provides cross-agent conflict detection with criticality-weighted priority resolution and runtime conformance logging for regulatory compliance (e.g., EU AI Act Article 14). We present the architecture, algorithmic procedures, O-RAN deployment model, and evaluate threat coverage against known AI/ML attacks in telecommunications.

Purified OPSD: On-Policy Self-Distillation Without Losing How to Think

纯化的OPSD:在不失去思考能力的情况下进行在线自我蒸馏
Shen, Zhanming, Tong, Jintao, Yan, Shaotian, Shen, Chen, Chen, Hao, Ye, Wentao, Hu, Xiaomeng, Miao, Rui, Wang, Haobo, Zhao, Junbo, Chen, Gang, Ye, Jieping
Abstract
On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) has emerged as a promising paradigm for improving LLM reasoning, where a privileged teacher with access to reference solutions provides token-level supervision on the student's own generated trajectories. However, we find that OPSD consistently fails on long chain-of-thought (long-CoT) reasoning models, yielding at best marginal gains while destabilizing the reflective reasoning capability these models depend on. Through a novel decomposition of the teacher's supervision signal, we identify the root cause: the teacher's supervision is dominated by a reference-induced component that drives rote memorization of reference-specific shortcuts, while the question-conditioned, inference-transferable component is ignored or actively opposed. Based on this diagnosis, we propose a two-step solution. First, we construct a reference-only teacher (the same model conditioned on the reference without the question) to isolate the non-transferable component of the supervision signal; the residual after subtracting this component captures the question-conditioned, inference-transferable correction. Second, we use pointwise mutual information (PMI) as the mechanism to transform this residual into a well-formed PMI target distribution that the student can directly distill from, filtering out the reference-induced shortcut. Experiments on four long-CoT models across two datasets demonstrate consistent improvements over both the base model and standard OPSD, while preserving the models' natural epistemic behavior throughout training.

在线自我蒸馏(OPSD)已成为改善大型语言模型(LLM)推理的有前景的范式,其中一位拥有参考解决方案的特权教师对学生自身生成的轨迹提供逐标记的监督。然而,我们发现OPSD在长链思维(long-CoT)推理模型上始终表现不佳,最多只能带来边际收益,同时破坏了这些模型所依赖的反思推理能力。通过对教师监督信号的新颖分解,我们识别出根本原因:教师的监督被一种参考诱导成分主导,这种成分驱动了对特定参考快捷方式的机械记忆,而问题条件下的、可推理转移的成分则被忽视或积极对抗。基于这一诊断,我们提出了一个两步解决方案。首先,我们构建了一个仅参考的教师(同一模型在没有问题的情况下以参考为条件),以隔离监督信号中不可转移的成分;减去该成分后的残差捕捉了问题条件下的、可推理转移的修正。其次,我们使用点互信息(PMI)作为机制,将该残差转化为一个良构的PMI目标分布,学生可以直接从中进行蒸馏,从而过滤掉参考诱导的快捷方式。在两个数据集上的四个长-CoT模型的实验表明,相较于基础模型和标准OPSD,均取得了一致的改进,同时在整个训练过程中保持了模型的自然认识行为。

Copewell: A Multi-Agent Swarm Architecture for Equitable Mental Wellness Support

Copewell:一种用于公平心理健康支持的多智能体群体架构
Yenikent, Seren, Vinijtrongjit, Jack, Ng, Katherine
Abstract
Mental health disorders affect nearly one billion people globally, yet 75% of individuals in low- and middle-income countries receive no treatment due to workforce shortages, cost barriers, and stigma. Current AI-powered wellness solutions predominantly rely on single-mode conversational interfaces that suffer high abandonment rates and fail to provide measurable, immediate relief calibrated to users' dynamic emotional states. This paper presents Copewell, a novel multi-agent swarm system designed to expand access to mental wellness support through human-centered AI principles. Our architecture introduces three technical innovations: (1) a multi-source assessment framework integrating self-reported, physiological, and contextual data to mitigate algorithmic bias; (2) valence-arousal emotion mapping using Russell's Circumplex Model of Affect to route users to specialized AI agents; and (3) dual-mode intervention delivery combining conversational support with evidence-based sensory wellness protocols. We examine the sociotechnical design considerations underlying Copewell's development, including a privacy-first architecture, embedded ethical oversight through a dedicated Ethics Supervisor agent, and participatory design informed by mental health practitioners. Early practitioner engagement and beta deployment inform design decisions and identify directions for future empirical evaluation. This work contributes to responsible AI discourse by demonstrating how technical architecture can operationalize equity and safety principles from inception.

AgenticSTS: A Bounded-Memory Testbed for Long-Horizon LLM Agents

AgenticSTS:一个有限记忆的长时间跨度大型语言模型代理测试平台
Cheng, Xiangchen, Jiang, Yunwei, Sun, Jianwen, Li, Zizhen, Li, Chuanhao, Cao, Xiangcheng, Liu, Yihao, Zhang, Fanrui, Jin, Li, Zhang, Kaipeng
Abstract
Memory for a long-horizon LLM agent is a contract about what each future decision is allowed to see. The simplest contract appends past observations, tool calls, and reflections to every prompt, which makes prior context easy to access but also turns it into a jumbled mixture in which the effect of any single memory component is hard to isolate. We introduce and instrument an alternative bounded contract: every decision is made from a fresh user message assembled by typed retrieval, with no raw cross-decision transcript appended. The prompt thus stays bounded across runs of any length, and any single layer can be ablated in isolation. We instantiate the contract in Slay the Spire 2, a closed-rule stochastic deck-building game whose runs require hundreds of tactical and strategic decisions. A public online benchmark of frontier LLMs on the same game reports zero wins at the lowest difficulty across five configurations, and the developer-reported human win rate at the same difficulty is 16%; the task is hard but not saturated. Within our harness, a fixed-A0 ablation shows the largest observed difference when triggered strategic skills are enabled: the no-store baseline wins 3/10 games and adding the skill layer 6/10. At this sample size the comparison is directional rather than statistically decisive (Fisher exact p\approx0.37); a cross-backbone probe and public accumulating-context baselines are reported as operational comparisons rather than controlled tests of the contract variable itself. We release a reproducible testbed: 298 completed trajectories with condition tags, frozen memory/skill snapshots, prompt records, and analysis scripts -- an agent design and a validated, reusable methodology for studying how explicit memory layers shape long-horizon LLM-agent decisions.

A Hippocampus for Linear Attention: An Exact Memory for What the Recurrent State Forgets

线性注意力的海马体:对循环状态遗忘内容的精确记忆
Cui, Wanyun
Abstract
Linear-attention and state-space language models compress the prefix into a fixed-size recurrent state, yielding O(1) memory at the cost of a lossy exact memory: when many key--value associations compete, earlier facts are overwritten and needle recall degrades. Inspired by Complementary Learning Systems, we give linear attention a hippocampal complement. HOLA (Hippocampal Linear Attention) keeps the usual delta-rule state as a compressive memory and adds a bounded exact KV cache, forming a semiparametric test-time memory: the state models linearly compressible structure, while the cache stores associations that should not be forced through that state. The cache writes without a learned eviction module, keeping tokens with large beta * ||e||, the prediction residual actually committed to the state; a decoupled RMSNorm-gamma cache read then turns these exact KV pairs into sharp retrieval rather than soft averaging. At 340M parameters trained on 15B SlimPajama tokens, HOLA lowers Wikitext perplexity from 27.32 to 22.92 (-16.1%), below a full-attention Transformer++ (26.88), and improves LAMBADA perplexity from 30.95 to 30.26. It also achieves the best linear in-context retrieval and remains much more robust than GDN or a matched HOLA+recency cache on RULER needle-in-a-haystack recall out to 32k tokens (16x its training length).

Grounded autonomous research: a fault-tolerant LLM pipeline from corpus to manuscript in frontier computational physics

基于实证的自主研究:从语料库到手稿的容错大型语言模型管道在前沿计算物理中的应用
Huang, Haonan
Abstract
Autonomous-research agents have demonstrated end-to-end LLM automation in machine-learning sandboxes where execution provides calibration. Frontier physical science differs categorically: physical reasoning underlies every methodology choice, toolchains are often underdocumented, and calibration must come from external literature anchors - which unscaffolded agents cite but do not confront, hallucinating plausible, unverifiable results from internal priors. We present a pipeline that runs end-to-end from a corpus of 11,083 recent condensed-matter physics arXiv papers to a publication-grade manuscript with three substantive physics findings (here on altermagnetic piezomagnetism): the agent autonomously conceives a research direction by mapping the corpus, calibrates methodology by reproducing published references, conducts novel first-principles computations, and writes the manuscript - grounded in literature throughout, across 47 fresh-context sessions in six phases sharing only on-disk state, with 2,162 literature-consultation events. Fault tolerance emerges from redundancy: fresh-context isolation, distributed grounding, and adversarial review catch what any single session misses; pre- and post-pilot stages are fully autonomous, and pilot requires bounded human intervention only at reproduction failures - operational knowledge curation, not scientific direction. Two paired failure modes - a pre-architecture baseline and a no-pilot ablation - isolate structurally enforced numerical confrontation at calibration checkpoints as the operative grounding mechanism. The primitives, characterized failure modes, and quantified intervention pattern lay a foundation for autonomous research in high-stakes scientific domains beyond computational physics.

DRIFTLENS: Measuring Memory-Induced Reasoning Drift in Personalized Language Models

DRIFTLENS:测量个性化语言模型中的记忆引发的推理漂移
Fang, Xi, Xu, Weijie, Ge, Yingqiang, Xu, Yuhui, Eckman, Stephanie, Reddy, Chandan K.
Abstract
Personalization changes what a model says to a user; we show that it can also change the reasoning trajectory used to justify the response. Modern LLMs personalize interactions by storing user attributes, preferences, and prior context, then injecting this information into future prompts. We study whether such memory reshapes reasoning on open-ended questions where no single ground-truth answer exists. To quantify this effect, we introduce DRIFTLENS, a ground-truth-free framework that maps each expressed reasoning step to a value category and measures divergence between a question's no-memory trajectory and its trajectory under injected user-attribute memory. We first validate that DRIFTLENS distinguishes content-free pragmatic noise from substantive reasoning changes. Across four LLMs and 10 user-attribute categories, including age, occupation, and disability, user-attribute memory induces medium-to-large reasoning drift above each model's pragmatic-noise floor, even when final answers remain fluent, on-topic, and plausible. We then evaluate GRPO- and DPO-based post-training methods for reducing drift. Both reduce drift, but neither uniformly dominates; effects on downstream capability, helpfulness, and instruction following are model-and reward-dependent. These results suggest that memory-induced reasoning drift is a measurable and only partly mitigated failure mode of personalized language models.

Hardware-Enforced Semantic Coordination for Safety-Critical Real-Time Autonomous Systems

硬件强制的语义协调用于安全关键的实时自主系统
Borghoff, Uwe M., Bottoni, Paolo, Pareschi, Remo
Abstract
Recent advances in agentic AI are producing increasingly complex autonomous systems that integrate large language models, world models, optimization engines, specialized neural architectures, autonomous platforms, and human operators. While much current research focuses on improving reasoning capabilities, safety-critical real-time deployment also requires bounded and verifiable coordination among heterogeneous components operating concurrently under uncertainty. Software-mediated coordination presents fundamental limitations in domains where bounded latency, deterministic coordination, and enforceable safety guarantees are essential. Hence, we propose a hardware-enforced semantic coordination architecture in which selected coordination semantics are implemented directly at the hardware level via field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The approach builds on the Topic-Based Communication Space Petri Net (TB-CSPN) framework, which separates semantic reasoning from interaction management. In this approach, selected TB-CSPN coordination mechanisms are mapped onto FPGA primitives, creating a hardware-native semantic coordination layer. Focus is not on acceleration, but on enforcing temporal synchronization, semantic gating, authorization constraints, and bounded coordination behavior directly in hardware. Semantic reasoning remains adaptive and software-driven, while embedded coordination semantics become deterministic.

近年来,代理人工智能的进步正在产生越来越复杂的自主系统,这些系统集成了大型语言模型、世界模型、优化引擎、专用神经架构、自主平台和人类操作员。尽管当前许多研究集中在提高推理能力上,但安全关键的实时部署还需要在不确定性下对并发操作的异构组件进行有界和可验证的协调。软件介导的协调在需要有界延迟、确定性协调和可强制安全保证的领域中存在根本性限制。因此,我们提出了一种硬件强制的语义协调架构,其中选定的协调语义通过现场可编程门阵列(FPGAs)直接在硬件层面实现。该方法基于主题驱动的通信空间Petri网(TB-CSPN)框架,将语义推理与交互管理分离。在此方法中,选定的TB-CSPN协调机制被映射到FPGA原语上,创建一个硬件本地的语义协调层。重点不在于加速,而是在硬件中直接强制实施时间同步、语义门控、授权约束和有界协调行为。语义推理仍然是自适应和软件驱动的,而嵌入的协调语义则变得确定性。

Steerability via constraints: a substrate for scalable oversight of coding agents

通过约束实现可操控性:可扩展编码代理监督的基础
Winninger, Thomas
Abstract
Coding agents are capable; human oversight is the bottleneck. Unconstrained agents introduce security risks, erode codebase scalability, and make human review increasingly costly. We argue that the same methods used for decades to manage large human engineering teams: access control, network policies, strict coding conventions enforced by tooling; transfer directly to coding agents, and are cheaper (in token) than recent agentic scaffolding. We sketch a start-to-end system on this principle, and report a controlled experiment in scalable oversight: a small reviewer (Gemma 4 e4b) inspects a Python codebase containing 11 inserted backdoors. Recall rises from 54.5% (unconstrained, no tools) to 90.9% (constrained substrate plus a ~200-LoC `docs` CLI), with substrate and tools contributing independently.

Fast Multi-dimensional Refusal Subspaces via RFM-AGOP

通过 RFM-AGOP 实现快速多维拒绝子空间
Winninger, Thomas
Abstract
Steering and monitoring activations in Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for both safety and interpretability. Early work assumed behaviours are encoded along single linear directions, but recent findings suggest complex behaviours, such as the refusal to answer harmful queries, live in multi-dimensional subspaces. However, existing methods for extracting these subspaces are computationally expensive, which becomes prohibitive on reasoning models who produce long reasoning traces. By adapting the Recursive Feature Machine (RFM) algorithm -- which can be computed efficiently -- with a probe-informed initialization, we are able to identify the multi-dimensional refusal subspace in seconds, on reasoning (Qwen 3) and non-reasoning (Qwen 2.5) models. While RFM allows for faster subspace identification, it also showed better performances on the ablation task than its alternatives. More work is planned to better understand the relations between subspaces found by different methods. If confirmed, RFM could be a cheap and scalable complement to existing subspace-extraction methods in LLMs.

在大型语言模型(LLMs)中,指导和监控激活越来越多地用于安全性和可解释性。早期的研究假设行为沿单一线性方向编码,但最近的发现表明,复杂行为(例如拒绝回答有害查询)存在于多维子空间中。然而,现有提取这些子空间的方法计算成本高昂,这在产生长推理轨迹的推理模型上变得不可行。通过适应递归特征机(RFM)算法——该算法可以高效计算——并结合探针引导的初始化,我们能够在几秒钟内识别推理(Qwen 3)和非推理(Qwen 2.5)模型中的多维拒绝子空间。虽然 RFM 允许更快的子空间识别,但在消融任务中也表现出比其他替代方法更好的性能。我们计划进行更多研究,以更好地理解不同方法找到的子空间之间的关系。如果得到确认,RFM 可能成为现有 LLMs 子空间提取方法的廉价且可扩展的补充。

Text-Driven 3D Indoor Scene Synthesis in Non-Manhattan Environments

非曼哈顿环境中的文本驱动三维室内场景合成
Meng, Xianhui, Song, Zirui, Zhang, Yuchen, Zhang, Li, Lv, Yongxuan, Chen, Xiuying, Wang, Kun, Luo, Yan, Chen, Kai, Ye, Hangjun, Chen, Long, Liu, Jun, Hao, Xiaoshuai
Abstract
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in 3D indoor synthesis for Manhattan environments. However, existing methods often fail to capture plausible object layout patterns in non-Manhattan settings, primarily because they struggle to model non-orthogonal spatial relationships, leading to high geometric violations and low physical fidelity. To address this challenge, we propose SPG-Layout, a novel text-driven framework designed to generate physically plausible indoor scenes within complex non-Manhattan environments. Specifically, we first utilize statistical priors of object distributions to guide the training process, enhancing environmental understanding and fidelity. Furthermore, mirroring human design workflows, we adopt a hierarchical layout strategy that prioritizes the placement of large objects, thereby substantially minimizing layout violations. By synergizing these components, SPG-Layout achieves a balanced optimization of semantic realism and physical plausibility. To evaluate performance in these complex settings, we constructed a new benchmark comprising 500 diverse non-Manhattan environments. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SPG-Layout consistently and significantly outperforms existing methods across both Manhattan and non-Manhattan environments. The code will be publicly released.

大型语言模型(LLMs)在曼哈顿环境中的三维室内合成方面展现了显著的能力。然而,现有方法往往无法捕捉非曼哈顿环境中合理的物体布局模式,主要是因为它们在建模非正交空间关系时遇到困难,导致高几何违规和低物理逼真度。为了解决这一挑战,我们提出了SPG-Layout,这是一种新颖的文本驱动框架,旨在生成复杂非曼哈顿环境中的物理合理室内场景。具体而言,我们首先利用物体分布的统计先验来指导训练过程,从而增强环境理解和逼真度。此外,模仿人类设计工作流程,我们采用了一种分层布局策略,优先考虑大型物体的放置,从而显著减少布局违规。通过协同这些组件,SPG-Layout实现了语义真实感和物理合理性的平衡优化。为了在这些复杂环境中评估性能,我们构建了一个包含500个多样化非曼哈顿环境的新基准。大量实验表明,SPG-Layout在曼哈顿和非曼哈顿环境中始终显著优于现有方法。代码将公开发布。

Automated grading of Linux/bash examinations using large language models: a four-level cognitive taxonomy approach

利用大型语言模型对Linux/bash考试进行自动评分:一种四级认知分类法的应用
Alonso-Carracedo, Manuel, Fernandez-Boullon, Ruben, Celard, Pedro, Rodriguez-Martinez, Francisco J., Otero-Cerdeira, Lorena
Abstract
Scalable and reliable grading of command-line examinations remains a challenge in computing education, where rising enrolments make manual marking difficult and rule-based autograders cannot handle partial credit, equivalent solutions, or syntactic variation. This paper evaluates whether four frontier Large Language Models (GPT, Claude Opus, Gemini, and GLM) can approximate expert judgment when grading short Linux/bash command responses. The study adopts a four-level cognitive taxonomy that combines cognitive complexity and operational impact, ranging from information retrieval (L1) and basic file manipulation (L2) to structural operations (L3) and advanced system management (L4). The models were tested with two prompt variants, a minimal baseline and a rubric-enhanced version, on 1200 real responses from second-year Computer Engineering students independently graded by three expert instructors. Gemini~3.0 Pro with rubric-guided prompting achieved the highest human-AI agreement (ICC(3,1) = 0.888, MAE = 0.10, Bland-Altman bias = -0.014). Agreement declined consistently as taxonomy level increased, with the largest discrepancies at higher levels. Across all models, rubric quality had a larger effect than provider choice, with structured prompts consistently improving agreement. These results show that question complexity is a reliable predictor of the difficulty LLMs face in grading accurately, and they establish a principled, taxonomy-based framework for determining which questions are suitable for AI-assisted grading and which require human review, while also providing a transferable evaluation protocol and prompt templates.

Abstract
Autonomous agents are increasingly expected to improve executable policies through feedback, yet existing evaluations often collapse this process into a final score or confound it with open-ended software-engineering progress. We introduce Autonomous Policy Evolution, a controlled evaluation setting in which a harness-model agent repeatedly edits an executable policy system under a fixed interaction budget. We instantiate this setting in EvoPolicyGym, a benchmark built from compact interactive RL environments that evaluates how agents iteratively improve explored policies. On the EvoPolicyGym suite, GPT-5.5 achieves the strongest aggregate rank score and top-two performance on all 16 environments. Beyond leaderboard results, EvoPolicyGym also provides trajectory-level diagnostics that distinguish how agents allocate budget, convert feedback into parametric tuning. These analyses show that strong autonomous policy evolution depends not only on isolated task wins, but on discovering task-appropriate mechanisms and refining policies under bounded feedback.

G-RRM: Guiding Symbolic Solvers with Recurrent Reasoning Models

G-RRM:使用递归推理模型指导符号求解器
Bertram, Timo, Bhavnani, Sidhant, Freinschlag, Richard, Kobler, Erich, Mayr, Andreas, Klambauer, Günter
Abstract
In this work, we focus on SE-RRMs, a symbol-equivariant instantiation of RRMs that exhibits improved extrapolation to larger problem sizes. We propose a neuro-symbolic approach, ``Guiding with Recurrent Reasoning Models'' (G-RRM), which integrates SE-RRMs with symbolic solvers for constraint satisfaction problems. SE-RRMs act as neural solvers that generate full solution proposals and guide classical symbolic solvers, such as backtracking or SAT-based methods like Glucose 4.1 and CaDiCaL 3.0.0, that produce globally correct solutions. Centrally, we investigate when neural guidance with G-RRM improves the search efficiency of symbolic solvers. % Our experiments show that the efficacy of G-RRM depends on two conditions: first, the problem instances must have an expansive combinatorial search space to expose potential gains, and second, the solver architecture must be capable of dynamically overwriting its branching choices to recover when neural hints are imperfect. When these conditions hold, guidance drives median conflict counts to zero and yields significant wall-clock speedups: on $9\times9$ Sudoku, where the SE-RRM correctly solves $91.1\%$ of instances, backtracking accelerates by $33.3\times$ and Glucose 4.1 by $1.70\times$ (median, $p<0.001$), with Glucose 4.1 retaining a $1.17\times$ speedup on perfect-hint $25\times25$ grids. In contrast, CaDiCaL 3.0.0, whose runtime is overhead-dominated and which always respects the injected branching hints rather than overwriting them, shows no significant speedup (median $1.02\times$, n.s.) and even a small significant mean slowdown ($0.90\times$) on $9\times9$. These results delineate the regimes in which neural guidance translates into practical speedups.

在这项工作中,我们关注于 SE-RRM,这是一种符号等变的 RRMs 实例,表现出对更大问题规模的改进外推能力。我们提出了一种神经符号方法,称为“使用递归推理模型指导”(G-RRM),它将 SE-RRMs 与约束满足问题的符号求解器结合起来。SE-RRMs 作为神经求解器,生成完整的解决方案提议并指导经典的符号求解器,如回溯法或基于 SAT 的方法(如 Glucose 4.1 和 CaDiCaL 3.0.0),这些方法能够产生全局正确的解决方案。我们重点研究了何时使用 G-RRM 的神经指导能够提高符号求解器的搜索效率。我们的实验表明,G-RRM 的有效性依赖于两个条件:首先,问题实例必须具有广泛的组合搜索空间,以暴露潜在的收益;其次,求解器架构必须能够动态覆盖其分支选择,以便在神经提示不完美时恢复。当这些条件成立时,指导将中位冲突计数降低至零,并产生显著的实际时间加速:在 $9 imes9$ 数独中,SE-RRM 正确解决了 $91.1\%$ 的实例,回溯法加速了 $33.3 imes$,而 Glucose 4.1 加速了 $1.70 imes$(中位数,$p<0.001$),在完美提示的 $25 imes25$ 网格上,Glucose 4.1 保持了 $1.17 imes$ 的加速。相比之下,CaDiCaL 3.0.0 的运行时间受开销主导,并且总是遵循注入的分支提示而不是覆盖它们,因此没有显著的加速(中位数 $1.02 imes$,不显著)甚至在 $9 imes9$ 上出现了小幅显著的平均减速($0.90 imes$)。这些结果划定了神经指导转化为实际加速的范围。

What LLM Agents Say When No One Is Watching: Social Structure and Latent Objective Emergence in Multi-Agent Debates

无人监视时大型语言模型代理的言论:多智能体辩论中的社会结构与潜在目标的出现
Ghaffarizadeh, Arman, Mohaddes, Danyal, Izadkhah, Aliakbar, Noroozizadeh, Shahriar
Abstract
LLM agents will increasingly act in socially structured settings where role, audience, and relational context can shape what is advantageous or costly to say. We study whether such social structure, without any explicit objective in the prompt, changes what an agent expresses publicly relative to an off-the-record (OTR) channel elicited under the same condition. We introduce a dual-channel debate framework in which agents produce public utterances that enter the shared history alongside OTR responses that are recorded but never shown to the other participant. Across 10 models, 3 scenarios, and 5 variations within each scenario, alignment-inducing settings produce systematic public-OTR divergence in the targeted agent, with its decision divergence rising from a $\sim$3% baseline to roughly 40%. The effect is consistent across four aggregate analyses: stance, semantic similarity, natural language inference, and survey responses. In some cases, the OTR response explicitly attributes public accommodation to relational pressures, such as career risk or sponsorship obligation. The findings suggest that agent evaluation should extend beyond explicit goals and detect emergent objectives. We present a dual-channel evaluation framework and complementary behavioral measures that operationalize this assessment.

ReContext: Recursive Evidence Replay as LLM Harness for Long-Context Reasoning

ReContext:递归证据重放作为大语言模型的长上下文推理工具
Zhao, Yanjun, Qiu, Ruizhong, Wei, Tianxin, Bei, Yuanchen, Liu, Zhining, Chen, Lingjie, Lourentzou, Ismini, Tong, Hanghang, He, Jingrui
Abstract
Understanding and reasoning over long contexts has become a key requirement for deploying large language models (LLMs) in realistic applications. Although recent LLMs support increasingly long context windows, they often fail to use relevant evidence that is already present in the input, revealing a gap between context access and effective context utilization. In this work, we propose Recursive Evidence Replay as LLM Harness for Long-Context Reasoning (RECONTEXT), a training-free inference method for improving long-context reasoning. RECONTEXT uses model-internal relevance signals to construct a query-conditioned evidence pool and replays it before final generation while preserving the full original context. This recursive selection process separates evidence organization from answer generation without training, external memory, or context pruning. We also provide a theoretical analysis based on associative memory, which characterizes the context as a memory store, the question as a retrieval cue, attention as cue-trace association, and replay as trace reactivation. Experiments on eight long-context datasets with 128K context length show that RECONTEXT consistently improves evidence utilization across Qwen3-4B, Qwen3-8B, and Llama3-8B, achieving the best average rank on all three backbones. Code is available at https://github.com/Yanjun-Zhao/ReContext.

理解和推理长上下文已成为在现实应用中部署大型语言模型(LLMs)的关键需求。尽管近期的LLMs支持越来越长的上下文窗口,但它们往往未能有效利用输入中已经存在的相关证据,这揭示了上下文访问与有效上下文利用之间的差距。在本研究中,我们提出了递归证据重放作为大语言模型的长上下文推理工具(RECONTEXT),这是一种无需训练的推理方法,用于改善长上下文推理。RECONTEXT利用模型内部的相关性信号构建一个基于查询的证据池,并在最终生成之前重放该证据,同时保留完整的原始上下文。这个递归选择过程将证据组织与答案生成分开,而无需训练、外部存储或上下文修剪。我们还提供了基于联想记忆的理论分析,将上下文视为记忆存储,将问题视为检索线索,将注意力视为线索-痕迹关联,将重放视为痕迹再激活。在八个具有128K上下文长度的长上下文数据集上的实验表明,RECONTEXT在Qwen3-4B、Qwen3-8B和Llama3-8B上始终提高了证据利用率,在所有三个模型上实现了最佳平均排名。代码可在 https://github.com/Yanjun-Zhao/ReContext 获取。

Online Safety Monitoring for LLMs

大语言模型的在线安全监测
Schirmer, Mona, Jazbec, Metod, Timans, Alexander, Naesseth, Christian, Waldron, Maja, Nalisnick, Eric
Abstract
Despite alignment training, LLMs remain prone to generating unsafe outputs at deployment time. Monitoring outputs online and raising an alarm when safety can no longer be assumed is therefore critical. We study a simple real-time monitor that turns a verifier signal from an external model into an alarm decision by thresholding, with the threshold calibrated via risk control. In experiments on mathematical reasoning and red teaming datasets, we show that this simple design is competitive with more advanced monitors based on sequential hypothesis testing.

Distributed Attacks in Persistent-State AI Control

持久状态人工智能控制中的分布式攻击
Hills, Josh, Caspary, Ida, Stickland, Asa Cooper
Abstract
As AI coding agents become more autonomous, they increasingly ship code iteratively, with the codebase persisting across sessions. This persistence creates a new attack surface: a misaligned or prompt-injected agent can distribute attacks across pull requests (PRs) and time its payload for the PR with the best natural cover. To study the resulting dynamics, we introduce Iterative VibeCoding, a setting for AI control, the study of safely deploying capable but potentially untrusted AI. In Iterative VibeCoding, a coding agent builds software over a sequence of PRs in a persistent codebase while pursuing a covert side task. Our benchmark includes two task families: CLI tools and Flask web services, across 20 total task variations. We use Claude Sonnet 4.5 as the attack agent and GPT-4o as the monitor. We compare gradual attacks, which distribute the side task across PRs, against non-gradual attacks concentrated in a single PR. No single monitor is robust to both: which strategy evades best (success while evading the monitor) depends on the monitor type, so a defender cannot close off both gradual and non-gradual attacks with any one monitor. High evasion (>= 65%) generalizes across model attack agent backends (Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Kimi K2.5), confirming this is a property of the persistent-state attack surface rather than a single model's capability. Evasion also remains high across state-of-the-art monitor models and the gap between gradual and non-gradual evasion widens for more capable models. We introduce a stateful link-tracker monitor that tracks suspicious buildup across PRs. On both task families, it detects gradual attacks substantially better than diff monitors that merely see more accumulated history. Combining this stronger monitor with trajectory monitors in a four-monitor ensemble reduces gradual-attack evasion from 93% under the weakest standard diff monitor to 47%.

TokenScope: Token-Level Explainability and Interpretability for Code-Oriented Tasks in Large Language Models

TokenScope:针对大型语言模型中代码导向任务的令牌级可解释性与解释性

Abstract
Understanding how Large Language Models (LLMs) make token-level decisions during code generation remains a major challenge for both researchers and practitioners. While recent tools provide insights into model internals or generation outcomes, they often lack decoding-time signals, fine-grained uncertainty measures, and interactive mechanisms for exploring alternative generation paths. We present TokenScope, an interactive interpretability and analysis tool for decoder-based LLMs that exposes token-level metrics, attention patterns, and structural information during generation. TokenScope supports interactive token replacement, counterfactual branching, and code-aware aggregation via abstract syntax trees. By unifying decoding-time signals with structural program analysis, TokenScope enables systematic investigation of LLM behaviour during code generation.

Safeguarding LLM Agents from Misalignment through Provenance Analysis

通过来源分析保护大型语言模型代理免受不一致性影响
She, Yining, Liang, Yiliang, Kang, Eunsuk
Abstract
As LLM agents gain increasing access to powerful tools, ensuring that their actions are aligned with the user's intent becomes critical. When an agent's proposed tool invocation deviates from the user's intent -- a phenomenon called misalignment -- it may lead to harmful consequences that are difficult to undo. Existing runtime guardrails rely on an LLM-as-a-judge paradigm that lacks a systematic framework for reasoning about alignment, often producing judgments that are inconsistent or difficult to audit. Motivated by provenance analysis, we propose a provenance-based conceptual framework that formalizes misalignment detection as determining whether a proposed tool call is supported by traceable evidence in the agent's context. Building on this framework, we propose ProvenanceGuard, a multi-stage pipeline that analyzes the agent's action for three types of misalignment before the selected tool is executed and only allows the action to take place when it is considered aligned with the user's input query. We evaluated our proposed approach on two different benchmarks, Agent-SafetyBench and WorkBench, across 10 backbone LLMs. Compared to the LLM-as-a-judge baseline, ProvenanceGuard reduces error rate on misaligned traces from 42.9% to 1.8% on Agent-SafetyBench and from 32.1% to 17.3% on WorkBench, while reducing intervention burden on task-successful traces from 30.5% to 12.8% and introducing no statistically significant increase in unnecessary interventions on aligned traces. These results demonstrate that structured, provenance-based reasoning provides an effective and practical foundation for safeguarding LLM agents from misalignment.

随着大型语言模型(LLM)代理越来越多地接触强大的工具,确保其行为与用户意图一致变得至关重要。当代理提议的工具调用偏离用户意图时——这一现象称为不一致性——可能会导致难以逆转的有害后果。现有的运行时保护措施依赖于LLM作为裁判的范式,缺乏系统性的框架来推理一致性,常常产生不一致或难以审计的判断。受到来源分析的启发,我们提出了一种基于来源的概念框架,将不一致性检测形式化为确定提议的工具调用是否有可追溯的证据支持在代理的上下文中。基于该框架,我们提出了ProvenanceGuard,一个多阶段管道,在选择工具执行之前分析代理的行为,以检测三种类型的不一致性,仅在行为被认为与用户输入查询一致时才允许其发生。我们在两个不同的基准上评估了我们提出的方法,即Agent-SafetyBench和WorkBench,涵盖了10个基础LLM。与LLM作为裁判的基线相比,ProvenanceGuard将Agent-SafetyBench上不一致轨迹的错误率从42.9%降低到1.8%,将WorkBench上的错误率从32.1%降低到17.3%,同时将任务成功轨迹上的干预负担从30.5%降低到12.8%,并且在一致轨迹上没有引入统计学上显著的无谓干预增加。这些结果表明,结构化的基于来源的推理为保护LLM代理免受不一致性影响提供了有效且实用的基础。

Kara: Efficient Reasoning LLM Serving via Sliding-Window KV Cache Compression

Kara:通过滑动窗口 KV 缓存压缩实现高效推理 LLM 服务
Han, Shen, Wu, Yuyang
Abstract
Reasoning language models often generate long chain-of-thought (CoT), which accumulates a massive KV cache during the decoding phase and incurs high decoding latency and limited throughput. To address these issues, KV cache compression has emerged as a promising technique for reducing memory overhead by selectively removing unimportant KV pairs while preserving useful ones for subsequent decoding. Nevertheless, we identify two key limitations in existing KV cache compression methods: 1) their threshold-triggered compression policy may provide limited throughput improvement or even reduce throughput, and may fully eliminate KV pairs from certain blocks of the sequence, potentially worsening information loss. 2) they typically retain either isolated KV pairs or fixed-size chunks with rigid boundaries, failing to preserve important flexible-sized chunks at arbitrary token positions. To overcome these limitations, we propose Kara, a sliding-window KV cache compression method that performs decoding-time compression by operating only on the recently generated context. Kara leverages bidirectional attention to score and select informative KV pairs in the window. To enable flexible preservation of important semantic information, we design a Token2Chunk module to expand a subset of selected KV pairs into chunks. Furthermore, we adapt Kara to PagedAttention and develop KvLLM, an inference framework built upon vLLM, which reduces KV cache memory usage and effectively improves output throughput. Extensive experiments demonstrate consistent performance improvements of proposed Kara and KvLLM.

推理语言模型通常生成长链思维(CoT),在解码阶段会积累大量的 KV 缓存,从而导致高解码延迟和有限的吞吐量。为了解决这些问题,KV 缓存压缩作为一种有前景的技术应运而生,通过选择性地移除不重要的 KV 对,同时保留对后续解码有用的 KV 对,来减少内存开销。然而,我们发现现有的 KV 缓存压缩方法存在两个主要局限性:1)其阈值触发的压缩策略可能提供有限的吞吐量提升,甚至可能降低吞吐量,并且可能完全消除序列某些块中的 KV 对,从而可能加剧信息丢失。2)它们通常保留孤立的 KV 对或具有固定大小的块,未能在任意令牌位置保留重要的灵活大小块。为克服这些局限性,我们提出了 Kara,一种滑动窗口 KV 缓存压缩方法,该方法通过仅对最近生成的上下文进行解码时压缩来实现。Kara 利用双向注意力对窗口中的信息 KV 对进行评分和选择。为了灵活保留重要的语义信息,我们设计了一个 Token2Chunk 模块,将选定的 KV 对子集扩展为块。此外,我们将 Kara 适配到 PagedAttention,并开发了基于 vLLM 的推理框架 KvLLM,该框架减少了 KV 缓存的内存使用,并有效提高了输出吞吐量。大量实验表明,所提出的 Kara 和 KvLLM 在性能上均有一致的提升。

SPARCLE: SPeaker-aware Aligned Representations via Contrastive Language Embeddings

SPARCLE:通过对比语言嵌入实现的说话者感知对齐表示
Mazumdar, Priyam, Halychanskyi, Yurii, Guo, Steven, Hasegawa-Johnson, Mark, Kindratenko, Volodymyr
Abstract
Recent advances in speech synthesis have shifted from phoneme representations to direct grapheme modeling. While phonemes address the one-to-many mapping between text and acoustics, they rely on grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) systems that fail to capture speaker-specific acoustic variation. Prior work demonstrates that grapheme-based models outperform phoneme-based systems at scale, but not in low-resource settings. In this paper, we propose SPARCLE, a speaker-aware grapheme representation model that enriches characters with their precise acoustic realizations. SPARCLE is trained with a contrastive objective to align graphemes with corresponding Wav2Vec2 acoustic representations while conditioned on speaker identity. The resulting model serves as a replacement to G2P systems for downstream text-to-speech (TTS) tasks. We demonstrate that SPARCLE improves generation quality, reducing word error rates by half in extreme low-resource settings compared to standard grapheme-based models.

近年来,语音合成的进展已从音素表示转向直接的字形建模。虽然音素处理了文本与声学之间的一对多映射,但它们依赖于无法捕捉说话者特定声学变化的字形到音素(G2P)系统。先前的研究表明,基于字形的模型在规模上优于基于音素的系统,但在低资源环境下表现不佳。本文提出了SPARCLE,一种说话者感知的字形表示模型,能够为字符提供其精确的声学实现。SPARCLE采用对比目标进行训练,以将字形与相应的Wav2Vec2声学表示对齐,同时考虑说话者身份。所得到的模型可替代G2P系统,用于下游的文本到语音(TTS)任务。我们证明,SPARCLE提高了生成质量,在极低资源环境下相比标准的基于字形的模型将词错误率降低了一半。

Breaking Safety at the Token Boundary: How BPE Tokenization Creates Exploitable Gaps in LLM Alignment

打破令牌边界的安全性:BPE 令牌化如何在大型语言模型对齐中创造可利用的漏洞
Li, Tung-Ling, Liu, Hongliang, Wu, Yuhao
Abstract
Character-level perturbations bypass safety alignment in modern LLMs despite leaving prompts human-readable. We identify and test a central structural mechanism: BPE tokenization fragments safety-critical words into sub-word pieces, and the three public alignment datasets we surveyed contain no intentionally fragmented inputs. The mechanism is a chain, tested end-to-end on five model families (Qwen-3-4B, Qwen-2.5-7B, Gemma-3-4B, Llama-3.1-8B, Mistral-7B). An optimization targeting safety-token fragmentation flips the first-token refusal trigger on 80-100% of refused HarmBench prompts, with 48% of those flips producing genuinely harmful outputs (per-model 29-65%; gap-vs-behavior ROC-AUC 0.66-0.98, pooled 0.84). Activation patching localizes the disrupted signal to the last ${\sim}30\%$ of layers; an alignment-data scan finds zero fragmented prompts among 30,000 examples (positive-control recall $\geq 99\%$ at attack-relevant intensities); and targeted-mutation experiments isolate safety words as the disruption locus. On the defense side, a 68-cell grid (55 trained checkpoints) shows that no DPO configuration achieves seed- and pool-stable ASR closure on the three families with closed pool-size confounds. SFT trained on fragmented prompts closes ASR on 3/5 families but only via global collapse that raises refusal on benign prompts as well, indicating the missing distribution is necessary but not sufficient under the LoRA-16 recipe we tested. To distinguish selective repair from global collapse, we introduce Conv-Benign, a candidate paired diagnostic. All ASR claims are 3-judge-calibrated (cell rankings stable across judges; absolute levels $\pm$18pp; see App.~B.13).

字符级扰动绕过了现代大型语言模型的安全对齐,尽管仍然保持提示的可读性。我们识别并测试了一个核心结构机制:BPE 令牌化将安全关键字分割成子词片段,而我们调查的三个公共对齐数据集中没有故意分割的输入。该机制是一个链条,在五个模型家族(Qwen-3-4B、Qwen-2.5-7B、Gemma-3-4B、Llama-3.1-8B、Mistral-7B)上进行了端到端测试。针对安全令牌分割的优化在80-100%的拒绝 HarmBench 提示中触发了首次令牌拒绝,且其中48%的翻转产生了真正有害的输出(每个模型29-65%;行为与差距的 ROC-AUC 为0.66-0.98,汇总为0.84)。激活修补将干扰信号定位到最后约30%的层;对齐数据扫描在30,000个示例中发现零个分割提示(正控制召回率在攻击相关强度下≥99%);而针对突变实验则将安全词孤立为干扰源。在防御方面,一个68单元的网格(55个训练检查点)显示,没有DPO配置在三个具有封闭池大小混淆的家族中实现种子和池稳定的ASR闭合。针对分割提示进行的SFT训练在5个家族中关闭了3个的ASR,但仅通过全球崩溃的方式,这也提高了对良性提示的拒绝,表明缺失的分布在我们测试的LoRA-16配方下是必要但不充分的。为了区分选择性修复与全球崩溃,我们引入了Conv-Benign,一个候选配对诊断工具。所有ASR声明均经过3名评审的校准(单元排名在评审之间稳定;绝对水平±18个百分点;见附录B.13)。

Prompt Framing Distorts Count-Based Evaluation of LLM Error Detection: Evidence from Numeric Anchoring

提示框架扭曲了基于计数的LLM错误检测评估:来自数字锚定的证据
Yang, Dekun
Abstract
Count-based F1 is widely used as a proxy for LLM error-detection quality, but this paper shows that it can rise dramatically without a corresponding improvement in span localization, a gap termed F1 Inflation. The paper introduces ErrorBench, a controlled stress-test protocol for prompt-induced count distortion. ErrorBench evaluates six contemporary LLMs under five prompt conditions over 4,290 responses from 143 CoNLL-2014 passages. Under CoNLL-2014 M2-style scoring, anchored prompts produce up to 0.79 points of F1 Inflation, and up to 0.96 under strict matching. A 100-passage replication using the official ERRANT 3.0.0 pipeline and multi-reference scoring reproduces the pattern: averaged over six models, the Blind-to-Anchored prompt shift raises Count-F1 by +0.21 while raising multi-reference ERRANT F0.5 by only +0.04. The study finds larger count responses in highly instruction-compliant GPT/Claude systems and smaller responses in the Gemini family under this stress-test protocol. The findings suggest that LLM proofreading and document-review evaluations should avoid pre-populated error counts and should report span-aware metrics alongside count-based metrics.

基于计数的F1分数被广泛用作LLM错误检测质量的代理,但本文显示,尽管没有相应的跨度定位改善,F1分数仍可能大幅上升,这一现象被称为F1膨胀。本文引入了ErrorBench,这是一个用于提示引起的计数扭曲的受控压力测试协议。ErrorBench在五种提示条件下评估了六个当代LLM,分析了来自143个CoNLL-2014段落的4,290个响应。在CoNLL-2014 M2风格评分下,锚定提示产生了高达0.79分的F1膨胀,而在严格匹配下则高达0.96。使用官方ERRANT 3.0.0管道和多参考评分进行的100段落复制实验重现了这一模式:在六个模型的平均值中,盲对锚定提示的转变使得计数F1提高了+0.21,而多参考ERRANT F0.5仅提高了+0.04。研究发现,在高度遵循指令的GPT/Claude系统中,计数响应较大,而在Gemini系列中则较小,均是在这一压力测试协议下得出的。研究结果表明,LLM校对和文档审查评估应避免使用预填充的错误计数,并应同时报告基于计数的指标和考虑跨度的指标。

Mapping Text to Multiplex Graph: Prompt Compression as L\'evy Walk-Guided Graph Pruning

文本映射到多重图:作为莱维行走引导的图剪枝的提示压缩
Gao, Yaxin, Lu, Yao, Deng, Jinhong, Nie, Jiaqi, Tang, Zhe, Zhang, Jian, Zhu, Zhaowei, Yu, Shanqing, Xuan, Qi, Zhou, Joey Tianyi
Abstract
Existing prompt compression methods treat text as flat token sequences, failing to capture the distributed nature of important information, which is often spread across multiple locations and connected through both local syntactic dependencies and global semantic relations. Such relational structure is naturally represented as a graph, where tokens or sentences become nodes and their dependencies become edges. To this end, we propose RAGP, which formulates prompt compression as Redundancy-Aware Graph Pruning on a multiplex graph that jointly models fine-grained attention-based dependencies and coarse-grained semantic relations. To efficiently identify non-redundant nodes in this heterogeneous structure (dense local subgraphs and sparse global connections), we employ Levy walks whose heavy-tailed step distribution naturally balances local exploitation with global exploration. Experiments on LongBench show that RAGP achieves an average score of 49.3 under a 4x compression ratio, outperforming existing LLM-based compression methods, such as LongLLMLingua, which attains 48.8 at a 3x compression ratio. Besides, RAGP also surpasses state-of-the-art vision-based text compression paradigms on multiple tasks. The code is available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/RAGP-B0CB.

现有的提示压缩方法将文本视为平坦的标记序列,未能捕捉重要信息的分布特性,这些信息通常分散在多个位置,并通过局部句法依赖和全局语义关系相互连接。这种关系结构自然地表示为图,其中标记或句子成为节点,它们的依赖关系成为边。为此,我们提出了RAGP,它将提示压缩公式化为在多重图上的冗余感知图剪枝,该图共同建模细粒度的基于注意力的依赖关系和粗粒度的语义关系。为了有效识别这种异构结构(密集的局部子图和稀疏的全局连接)中的非冗余节点,我们采用了莱维行走,其重尾步长分布自然地平衡了局部开发与全局探索。在LongBench上的实验表明,RAGP在4倍压缩比下实现了49.3的平均得分,超越了现有的基于LLM的压缩方法,如LongLLMLingua,在3倍压缩比下仅达到48.8。此外,RAGP在多个任务上也超越了最先进的基于视觉的文本压缩范式。代码可在https://anonymous.4open.science/r/RAGP-B0CB获取。

Abstract
We introduce Office Comprehension Bench (OCB), the first public benchmark to jointly evaluate LLM systems on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint comprehension over native file formats (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) and their variants. OCB consists of two tracks. File Fidelity Q&A tests structural and visual perception of office artifacts - tables, charts, embedded images, formulas, and app-specific elements such as headers, speaker notes, and named ranges. Domain Q&A tests expert-level reasoning grounded in real-world industry documents across 12 professional domains, with queries requiring multi-step analysis and synthesis across documents. Each reference answer is decomposed into atomic, binary-gradable claims, and an ensemble of LLM judges scores responses against each claim independently. Even the strongest frontier system in its default reasoning mode reaches only about 59.3% on Domain Q&A; increasing thinking depth within a tier does not move performance materially, while moving to a higher product tier yields modest gains. We release the dataset, evaluation tooling, judge prompt, and a public leaderboard.

RuleChef: Grounding LLM Task Knowledge in Human-Editable Rules

RuleChef:将大型语言模型任务知识基础化为可编辑规则
Kovács, Ádám, Verdha, Nadia, Recski, Gábor
Abstract
We present RuleChef, a framework that uses large language models (LLMs) to generate executable rules for NLP tasks such as text classification, Named Entity Recognition (NER), or relation extraction. Rules are generated based on a task description and a set of labeled examples, then they are iteratively improved based both on additional examples and on human feedback overexisting rules. RuleChef can also be used to bootstrap rules using the observed input-output pairs from any existing model for a given task. LLMs are used only at learning time, synthesizing rules and iteratively patching them based on failures measured on a held-out split. The result of this process is a fast, deterministic, and inspectable rule system. Preliminary evaluation is performed on both classification and NER tasks. We release RuleChef as open-source software under an Apache 2.0

TurnNat: Automatic Evaluation of Turn-Taking Naturalness in Dyadic Spoken Dialogue

TurnNat:双人对话中轮流发言自然性的自动评估
Zhang, Hao, Thebaud, Thomas, Tinchev, Georgi, Ravichandran, Venkatesh, Moro-Velazquez, Laureano
Abstract
Turn-taking naturalness is central to full-duplex spoken dialogue systems, yet its automatic evaluation remains limited. Existing evaluations often rely on human judgments or behavior-specific timing metrics, making it difficult to compare heterogeneous timing failures within a unified framework. We propose TurnNat, a likelihood-based framework for automatic turn-taking naturalness evaluation in two-channel spoken dialogue. A causal turn-taking prediction model trained on natural conversations estimates future two-speaker voice-activity states, and the negative log-likelihood (NLL) of the observed future activity measures timing atypicality. TurnNat pools frame-level NLLs over turn-taking boundary units (TBUs) extracted from utterance onsets and offsets, and aggregates mean and tail TBU scores into a dialogue-level naturalness score. We further construct a controlled perturbation benchmark of paired natural and perturbed dialogue clips, validated by human naturalness judgments. Experiments on this benchmark show that TurnNat successfully identifies unnatural turn-taking perturbations across heterogeneous timing failures.

轮流发言的自然性对于全双工语音对话系统至关重要,但其自动评估仍然有限。现有的评估通常依赖于人工判断或特定行为的时间度量,这使得在统一框架内比较异质的时间失误变得困难。我们提出了TurnNat,一个基于似然性的框架,用于在双通道语音对话中自动评估轮流发言的自然性。该模型基于自然对话训练的因果轮流发言预测模型,估计未来两位说话者的语音活动状态,观察到的未来活动的负对数似然(NLL)用于衡量时间的非典型性。TurnNat在从发言开始和结束提取的轮流发言边界单元(TBU)上汇总帧级NLL,并将平均和尾部TBU得分聚合为对话级自然性得分。我们进一步构建了一个受控扰动基准,包括配对的自然和扰动对话片段,并通过人工自然性判断进行了验证。在该基准上的实验表明,TurnNat成功识别出异质时间失误中的不自然轮流发言扰动。

RusFinChain: A Russian Benchmark for Verifiable Chain-of-Thought Reasoning in Finance with Fuzzy-Aligned Evaluation

RusFinChain:一个用于金融领域可验证思维链推理的俄罗斯基准,具有模糊对齐评估
Arabov, M. K.
Abstract
Multi-step symbolic reasoning is essential for robust financial analysis, yet most benchmarks neglect intermediate reasoning steps. FINCHAIN introduced verifiable Chain-of-Thought (CoT) evaluation but is limited to English. FINESSE-Bench includes a Russian block but relies on multiple-choice questions without step-level supervision. We present RusFinChain, the first Russian-language symbolic benchmark for verifiable CoT reasoning in finance. It spans 17 domains, 172 topics, and comprises 5,280 parameterized examples from executable Python templates, ensuring contamination-free evaluation. Each example includes a gold-standard reasoning chain with intermediate numeric values for automatic verification. We also introduce enhanced metrics: Fuzzy Numeric Alignment and Soft-Attention Alignment. We evaluate 8 open-weight LLMs on a stratified sample, generating 8,100 responses. Results reveal a substantial reasoning gap: models achieve Hard F1 of ~0.65 for step alignment, but only ~29% of final answers are correct. Our fuzzy and soft metrics show stronger correlation with final-answer correctness (Spearman rho approx 0.48) than the original ChainEval (rho approx 0.38-0.46), demonstrating superior diagnostic power. We release dataset, code, and evaluation framework to foster verifiable financial AI for the Russian-speaking community.

Multi-Objective Exploration and Preference Optimization via Mutual Information

通过互信息进行多目标探索与偏好优化
Xie, Hongyan, Ban, Yikun, Fang, Ruiyu, Huang, Zixuang, Wang, Deqing, Li, Jianxin, Song, Shuangyong
Abstract
Aligning large language models with diverse and heterogeneous human values requires multi-objective alignment methods to effectively trade off conflicting preference dimensions. Current methods achieve this trade-off by training policies conditioned on preference vectors and leveraging online direct preference optimization. However, exploration uncertainty can cause the reward distributions of responses generated under different preference vectors to overlap, and the generated responses may fail to effectively align with the corresponding preference vectors. In this paper, we propose Multi-Objective Exploration and Preference Optimization via Mutual Information (MI-EPO), an information-theoretic framework. It unifies multi-objective exploration and alignment by maximizing the joint conditional mutual information among generated responses, preference feedback, and preference vectors. By incorporating a probabilistic routing mechanism, MI-EPO naturally decomposes objective alignment and preference-aware exploration, encouraging the model to generate responses that are distinguishable and aligned with different preference conditions. Experiments on safe alignment and helpful assistant tasks show that MI-EPO significantly improves the alignment between generated responses and preference vectors, makes the outputs more controllable, and achieves stable trade-offs across multiple objectives.

将大型语言模型与多样化和异质的人类价值观对齐,需要多目标对齐方法以有效权衡相互冲突的偏好维度。目前的方法通过训练基于偏好向量的策略并利用在线直接偏好优化来实现这种权衡。然而,探索的不确定性可能导致在不同偏好向量下生成的响应的奖励分布重叠,从而使生成的响应未能有效地与相应的偏好向量对齐。本文提出了一种信息论框架——通过互信息进行多目标探索与偏好优化(MI-EPO)。该框架通过最大化生成响应、偏好反馈和偏好向量之间的联合条件互信息,统一了多目标探索与对齐。通过引入概率路由机制,MI-EPO自然地将目标对齐与偏好感知探索进行分解,鼓励模型生成可区分且与不同偏好条件对齐的响应。在安全对齐和有用助手任务上的实验表明,MI-EPO显著提高了生成响应与偏好向量之间的对齐程度,使输出更加可控,并在多个目标之间实现了稳定的权衡。

MultAttnAttrib: Training-Free Multimodal Attribution in Long Document Question Answering

MultAttnAttrib:无训练的长文档问答中的多模态归因

Abstract
As grounded QA systems are increasingly deployed in AI assistants, accurately attributing generated answers to evidence is critical for user trust and model safety. While unimodal attributions have been explored in depth, the multimodal setting remains relatively under-researched. As a result, we introduce MultAttnAttrib, a training-free attribution-generation method that leverages a model's prefill pass, selected attention heads, and calibrated thresholds to locate source evidence within a document. To establish baseline results for the method, we introduce MultAttrEval, a complementary benchmark dataset annotated with fine-grained, ground-truth attributions for answer components grounded in multimodal source documents. To our knowledge, this is the first evaluation dataset designed specifically for multimodal attribution in long-form documents. Experimental results show that MultAttnAttrib consistently outperforms a variety of attribution-generation methods, including several strong prompting-based approaches and matches the latest frontier models such as GPT 5.4. Our method not only substantially improves attribution accuracy for both unimodal and multimodal attribution types, but also produces attributions at up to one-seventh of the direct inference latency compared to prompting on the same base model.

Abstract
We introduce ISOSCI, a benchmark of isomorphic cross-domain science problem pairs that separates reasoning ability from domain knowledge retrieval in LLM evaluation. Each pair shares identical logical structure but requires different domain-specific knowledge, enabling controlled attribution of reasoning-mode gains. Across five model pairs spanning four model families, we find that 91.3% of reasoning-mode gains are knowledge-dependent rather than structure-invariant (63/69 gains; Wilson 95% CI [82.3%, 96.0%]), directly challenging the assumption that chain-of-thought reasoning improves short-horizon procedural scientific problem-solving. Reasoning toggles on highly capable models provide less than 5 percentage points accuracy gain across all domains, and a reasoning-specialized model (o3-mini) that outperforms its standard counterpart on GPQA Diamond (+19.2 percentage points) underperforms on ISOSCI (-24.7 percentage points), showing that benchmark choice determines conclusions about reasoning utility.

FaithMed: Training LLMs For Faithful Evidence-Based Medical Reasoning

FaithMed:为忠实的基于证据的医学推理训练大型语言模型
Zhang, Zhiyun, Sun, Liwen, Qian, Xiang, Xiong, Chenyan
Abstract
Faithful reasoning is essential in medicine, where clinical decisions require transparent justification grounded in reliable evidence. Current medical LLMs either lack active access to evidence or use retrieved evidence without supervising how it should be appraised and applied during reasoning. To address this, we formalize evidence-based medicine principles as process-level criteria and introduce FaithMed, a framework that combines clinician-designed, automatically refined rubrics with reinforcement learning using step-level process reward assignment and advantage grouping. Across seven medical benchmarks, FaithMed improves over agentic-search baselines (+9% on average) and outcome-only RL (+5.8%), while raising average evidence-based medicine rubric scores over agentic-search Qwen3 baselines (+15.5%). This work demonstrates that explicit step-level supervision can improve both task success and the faithfulness of the reasoning process. Code is available at https://github.com/cxcscmu/FaithMed.

Grounded Optimization: A Layered Engineering Framework for Reducing LLM Hallucination in Automated Personal Document Rewriting

基于实证的优化:减少大型语言模型幻觉的分层工程框架在自动个人文档重写中的应用
Indukuri, Shashank, Agrawal, Adarsh
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to resume optimization for applicant tracking systems, introducing hallucination failures distinct from general text generation: anachronistic technology injection, cross-domain terminology contamination, structural mutation, and content fabrication. We present Grounded Optimization, a five-layer framework combining temporal context validation, deterministic contamination detection, structural invariant enforcement, prompt-level grounding, and an evaluator agent. In ablation experiments across three LLMs, four temperature settings, and six layer configurations on 25 synthetic resumes spanning 14 industries, undefended baselines produce 2.48-5.36 detected hallucinations per resume. Among detectors independent of the active defenses, temporal hallucinations are reduced by 50-95% across all conditions; overall detected hallucination rate falls to 0.04-0.24. Prompt-level grounding alone achieves zero detected hallucinations at low temperature with a capable instruction-following model; higher temperatures and weaker models reveal the need for the deterministic layers as a complement. We release the contamination taxonomy, evaluation code, and raw data.

Abstract
Text scaling, the task of positioning political actors on an ideological scale, is a fundamental task in political analysis. To ease the need for manual analysis, various NLP methods have been proposed for this task, including classification- and regression-based approaches, showing successes as well as limitations. The goal of our paper is to consolidate the state of the art in this area. We ask two questions: (a) Can the performance of scaling methods be improved by predicting scales not individually but jointly? (b) Is there a middle ground between classification and regression?

Abstract
Recent advances in automatic speech recognition (ASR) have explored different sequence models, including Conformer-based models and newer state space models such as Mamba. Although prior work has evaluated these architectures in multiple languages, their effectiveness in African languages remains underexplored. In this work, we evaluate Mamba for ASR on seven South African languages. In monolingual experiments, each model is trained on 50 hours of speech per language, and we compare Mamba to a Conformer baseline of similar parameter scale. Mamba achieves similar recognition accuracy to Conformer while using fewer computational resources and training faster. We further evaluate generalization in this setting and find that both models struggle to generalize to speech that is much longer than what they were trained on. We then study multilingual ASR using Mamba models, where the baseline is pooling all languages together. On top of this, we tested three extensions: training with language-family information by adding both language and language-family embeddings as biases to the downsampled acoustic representations, and multitask learning with a CTC ASR objective and a language identification (LID) head. We find that multilingual training consistently improves performance over monolingual training. However, adding explicit language information does not improve in-domain performance but does improve cross-corpus robustness. We conducted ablation studies in low-resource multilingual settings using 5-hour and 10-hour per-language training data, where we observed gains from using language embeddings and further demonstrated that removing or altering them hurt model performance. Lastly, we analysed these embeddings and find that they do not capture linguistic similarity in a typological sense, but instead act as task-specific control vectors.

最近的自动语音识别(ASR)进展探索了不同的序列模型,包括基于Conformer的模型和较新的状态空间模型如Mamba。尽管之前的研究已在多种语言中评估了这些架构,但它们在非洲语言中的有效性仍然未被充分探索。在本研究中,我们评估了Mamba在七种南非语言中的ASR表现。在单语实验中,每个模型在每种语言上训练50小时的语音,并将Mamba与具有相似参数规模的Conformer基线进行比较。Mamba在识别准确性上与Conformer相当,同时使用更少的计算资源并且训练速度更快。我们进一步评估了在此设置下的泛化能力,发现这两种模型在处理远超训练时长的语音时均表现不佳。随后,我们研究了使用Mamba模型的多语种ASR,其中基线是将所有语言汇总。在此基础上,我们测试了三种扩展:通过将语言和语言家族嵌入作为偏置添加到下采样的声学表示中,利用语言家族信息进行训练,以及使用CTC ASR目标和语言识别(LID)头的多任务学习。我们发现多语种训练的性能始终优于单语训练。然而,添加显式语言信息并未改善领域内的表现,但确实提高了跨语料库的鲁棒性。我们在低资源多语种环境中进行了消融研究,使用每种语言5小时和10小时的训练数据,观察到使用语言嵌入带来的性能提升,并进一步证明去除或改变这些嵌入会损害模型性能。最后,我们分析了这些嵌入,发现它们并未在类型学意义上捕捉语言相似性,而是作为特定任务的控制向量。

Parameter Golf: What Really Works?

参数高尔夫:什么真正有效?
Paudel, Prashanna Mani, Sheshappanavar, Shivanand Venkanna
Abstract
How far can a language model improve under a strict artifact budget? Parameter Golf posed this question as an open community challenge in which participants trained the best language model, with the complete artifact (training code + compressed weights) required to fit within 16 MB and be trained in under ten minutes on 8xH100 SXM GPUs. Quality was measured in bits-per-byte (BPB), the average number of bits required to encode each byte of unseen text. We analyze 2,037 pull requests and 1,430 clean scored submissions from the contest, build a taxonomy of 84 optimization techniques, and measure each technique's contribution to BPB. The verified leaderboard score dropped from 1.2244 to 1.058 BPB across three phases -- a 13.6% reduction, despite individual techniques rarely improving BPB by more than 1%. We show that most gains in techniques shrink across competitive submissions, isolating the few methods that improve performance across stacks.

Can Language Models Actually Retrieve In-Context? Drowning in Documents at Million Token Scale

语言模型真的能够进行上下文检索吗?在百万标记规模的文档中淹没
Gollapudi, Siddharth, Gupta, Nilesh, Singhal, Prasann, Min, Sewon
Abstract
Language models (LMs) raise an intriguing alternative to vector-based retrieval: conditioning on an in-context corpus and directly generating a relevant answer. However, prior work has largely focused on proprietary systems or the smaller-scale reranking task, leaving corpus-scale in-context retrieval largely unexplored. In this work, we present the first systematic study of in-context retrieval on two scales practical retrievers demand: million-token corpora and length-generalization far beyond training-time sizes. We first introduce BlockSearch, a 0.6B LM retriever whose architectural and training modifications improve over prior LM baselines and length-generalize up to 10 times beyond its training regime. Nevertheless, retrieval still collapses under more extreme extrapolation. We trace this failure to an attention dilution effect: as the corpus grows, irrelevant documents dominate the softmax denominator, reducing the normalized mass on the gold document even when its pre-softmax score stays high. Motivated by this analysis, we introduce length-aware adjustments to the attention softmax and document-level sparse attention. With these modifications, at the million-token scale, our model matches dense retrieval on widely studied benchmarks (e.g, MS MARCO and NQ), while outperforming the concurrent model MSA despite being 7 times smaller. Furthermore, it significantly outperforms dense retrieval on tasks requiring entirely different notions of similarity, such as LIMIT, achieving a 3 times higher score. Together, our results position in-context retrieval a promising alternative to classical retrieval while emphasizing attention control under extreme context growth as a new challenge.

语言模型(LMs)为基于向量的检索提供了一种引人注目的替代方案:基于上下文语料库进行条件生成并直接生成相关答案。然而,之前的研究主要集中在专有系统或小规模的重排序任务上,导致语料库规模的上下文检索尚未得到充分探索。在本研究中,我们首次系统地研究了在实际检索器所需的两个规模上的上下文检索:百万标记语料库和远超训练时规模的长度泛化。我们首先介绍了BlockSearch,这是一种0.6B的LM检索器,其架构和训练修改在先前的LM基线之上有所改进,并且长度泛化能力可达到训练阶段的10倍。然而,在更极端的外推情况下,检索仍然崩溃。我们将这一失败归因于注意力稀释效应:随着语料库的增长,无关文档主导了softmax的分母,即使其预softmax分数保持较高,金文档的归一化质量也会降低。基于这一分析,我们引入了对注意力softmax和文档级稀疏注意力的长度感知调整。通过这些修改,在百万标记规模上,我们的模型在广泛研究的基准(如MS MARCO和NQ)上与密集检索相匹配,同时在规模上仅为其七分之一的同时超越了并行模型MSA。此外,它在需要完全不同相似性概念的任务(如LIMIT)上显著优于密集检索,达到了三倍的得分。综合来看,我们的结果表明,上下文检索是经典检索的一个有前景的替代方案,同时强调在极端上下文增长下的注意力控制是一个新的挑战。

DiPS: Dialogue Policy Selection for High-Stakes Persuasion Agents

DiPS:高风险劝说代理的对话策略选择
Zhang, Tianyi, Das, Mousumi, Anwar, Abrar, Thomason, Jesse, Traum, David
Abstract
Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle with persuasion in high-stakes scenarios. People's individual personalities and concerns require tailored strategies rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. To address this challenge, we focus on a fire-rescue scenario in which an operator must persuade a resident to evacuate as a high-stakes persuasion domain and propose Dialogue Policy Selection (DiPS), a Q-learning framework to dynamically select persuasion strategies adapted to the evolving conversational context. Specifically, we train a critic, trained to maximize the chance of evacuation success, to select a persuasion policy at each turn based on the resident's recent utterances.We then evaluate DiPS against multiple baselines in both simulated and real human interactions. We find that DiPS achieves higher evacuation success than a zero-shot LLM and generic RAG-augmented approach.

Beyond Skepticism: Evaluating LLMs Pedagogical Intent Reasoning with the Adaptive Pedagogical Vigilance Framework

超越怀疑:通过自适应教学警觉框架评估大型语言模型的教学意图推理
Chen, Minghao, Zhou, Ruihan, Tang, Jiayi, Xu, Zihan, Huang, Bowen, Liu, Yuxin
Abstract
The capacity of Large Language Models (LLMs) to reason about pedagogical intent within instructional communication remains underexplored, particularly in educational domains such as translation pedagogy. To address this, we propose the \textbf{Adaptive Pedagogical Vigilance (APV)} framework, a novel computational formalism that reframes communicative vigilance as an adaptive mechanism for optimizing learning through intent inference. APV formalizes the problem via a Bayesian Pedagogical Intent Inference Engine (PIIE), which models how instructors select content to maximize pedagogical utility and how vigilant learners should inversely reason about latent instructional configurations -- encompassing genre, stance, and incentives. We evaluate APV through a three-tier hierarchy: distinguishing instructional genre, reasoning about structured pedagogical setups, and generalizing to authentic educational discourse. Experiments on leading LLMs (e.g., GPT-4o, Claude 3.5) show that APV substantially improves model vigilance. It achieves the strongest discrimination between pedagogical and exposure-based content, correlates highly with human judgments ($r=0.958$), and maintains robust performance on naturalistic data where baseline methods degrade. This work establishes a unified framework for assessing and enhancing LLMs' understanding of pedagogical motives, advancing the development of more reliable AI-assisted learning systems.

ProWAFT: A ROMA-LPD Instance for Workload-Aware and Dynamic Fault Tolerance in FPGA-Based CNN Accelerators

ProWAFT:一种针对FPGA基础CNN加速器的工作负载感知和动态容错的ROMA-LPD实例
Chen, Xinxin, Qiao, Haoran, Guo, Yiming, Luo, Kecheng, Feng, Siyuan, Ma, Jingwen
Abstract
SRAM-based FPGAs provide an attractive platform for energy- and latency-constrained CNN inference at the network edge, yet transient faults can lead to silent errors that compromise reliability. Always-on redundancy (e.g., full TMR) improves correctness but incurs substantial performance and energy overhead, while reactive recovery may introduce unacceptable latency on the critical path. We propose \textbf{ProWAFT}, a proactive workload-aware fault-tolerance framework for FPGA-based CNN accelerators that uses partial reconfiguration to selectively apply TMR across reconfigurable partitions. ProWAFT quantifies workload criticality, models fault propagation and reconfiguration overhead, and selects configurations that minimize a composite objective over latency, energy, and reliability risk. Implemented on a Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ ZCU104 platform with six reconfigurable regions and evaluated on a 500-task trace derived from ResNet-18, MobileNetV2, and EfficientNet-Lite under time-varying SEU injection, ProWAFT achieves lower composite cost than static TMR and reactive reconfiguration while maintaining high task success rate and near-baseline throughput with low online decision overhead.

When Does Generating More Help? Disentangling Fixed-Source Synthesis from Source Expansion in Synthetic Data Scaling

何时生成更多数据有帮助?解构合成数据扩展中的固定源合成与源扩展
Guo, Xu, Tong, Jian, Lu, Zhihui, Guo, Qipeng
Abstract
Synthetic data can be scaled along two routes: Source Expansion (SE), which enlarges the source by adding seed materials or generators, and Fixed-Source Synthesis (FSS), which holds the source fixed and scales the generation budget. Existing scaling studies typically expand the source as the data grows, conflating SE with FSS and leaving FSS underexplored. We isolate FSS by holding the seed-question pool and teacher model fixed, varying only the per-question response budget under Rejection Sampling (RS). We adapt the rectified scaling law to FSS, deriving it from how repeated sampling covers a fixed source. Empirically, the derived form, fit on low budgets, predicts performance at the held-out highest budget for every evaluated teacher--student pair. At matched total-sample budgets, SE and FSS are comparable at small budgets; at large budgets, adding seed questions outperforms spending the same budget on more responses. Within FSS, however, neither synthesizing additional questions from the existing seeds nor varying the synthesis protocol outperforms plain RS at matched budgets. FSS is thus a bounded scaling axis and a controlled setting for comparing synthesis protocols. We will release our code and data to facilitate further research.

合成数据可以通过两种方式进行扩展:源扩展(Source Expansion, SE),通过添加种子材料或生成器来扩大源;固定源合成(Fixed-Source Synthesis, FSS),保持源不变并扩大生成预算。现有的扩展研究通常在数据增长时扩展源,将 SE 与 FSS 混淆,导致 FSS 的研究不足。我们通过固定种子问题池和教师模型,仅在拒绝采样(Rejection Sampling, RS)下改变每个问题的响应预算,从而将 FSS 独立出来。我们将修正的扩展法则适应于 FSS,从重复采样如何覆盖固定源中推导出该法则。从经验上看,基于低预算的推导形式能够预测在每对评估的教师-学生组合中,保留的最高预算下的表现。在匹配的总样本预算下,SE 和 FSS 在小预算时是可比的;而在大预算下,添加种子问题的效果优于在更多响应上花费相同预算。然而,在 FSS 内部,从现有种子合成额外问题或改变合成协议在匹配预算下均不优于简单的 RS。因此,FSS 是一个有限的扩展轴,也是比较合成协议的受控环境。我们将发布我们的代码和数据,以促进进一步的研究。

Rethinking Speech-LLM Integration for ASR: Effective Joint Speech-Text Training by Interleaving

重新思考语音-大语言模型集成在自动语音识别中的应用:通过交错实现有效的联合语音-文本训练
Fan, Ruchao, Wang, Yiming, Zhao, Rui, Ren, Liliang, Deng, Keqi, Chen, Xiaoyang, Zare, Ali, Ren, Bo, Hu, Yuxuan, Chen, Junkun, Huang, Yan, Shen, Yelong, Li, Jinyu
Abstract
Speech-LLM integration has shown promising results by leveraging extensive textual pretraining, yet its specific benefits for automatic speech recognition (ASR) remain unclear. We observe that as supervised ASR training data increases, the contribution of LLM priors becomes less evident, and simple speech-text joint training under-utilizes textual knowledge. We therefore propose Joint Speech-Text Interleaved Pretraining (JSTIP), an ASR-oriented pretraining strategy that constructs word-level and segment-level interleaved speech-text sequences within aligned pairs for speech-LLM architectures that accept continuous inputs. Experiments on 38k hours of ASR data show consistent entity accuracy improvement compared to ASR-only and joint speech-text training baselines. JSTIP achieves on-par entity recognition performance using domain transcription text compared to synthetic speech-text pairs, simplifying domain adaptation. Benefiting from textual pretraining and domain text data, JSTIP is competitive with open-source ASR and Speech-LLM systems in medical entity recognition. The zero-shot speech question answering behaviors further suggest that interleaving reduces the speech-text modality gap and preserves the LLM generative prior, which is likely the reason for the entity improvements on the ASR task.

PARTREP: Learning What to Repeat for Decoder-only LLMs

PARTREP:为仅解码器的语言模型学习重复内容
Widjaja, Andikawati P, Kim, Yongjun, Kim, Hyounghun, Lee, Jaeho
Abstract
While decoder-only LLMs excel at a vast array of natural language tasks, it suffers from an asymmetric information flow induced by causal attention: later tokens are richer in contextual grounding than earlier ones. A simple and effective remedy is prompt repetition -- just appending a second copy of prompt before generation can redistribute grounding across positions and improve reasoning performance. However, full repetition of the original prompt doubles the KV cache footprint and quadruples attention cost during prefill, making it impractical for long-context settings. We propose PartRep, a selective augmentation method that appends only the most informative tokens -- rather than the entire prompt. We use token-wise negative log-likelihood (NLL) as a selection signal, motivated by the hypothesis that less predictable tokens are less recoverable from surrounding context and therefore benefit more from late-position repetition. To avoid the heavy cost of a full forward pass for scoring, we train a lightweight gate that predicts high-NLL tokens from early-layer hidden states, enabling token selection during mid-prefill via early exit. Across eight benchmarks (including MMLU, GSM8K, and RULER) and three model families (Qwen2.5, Llama3.2, Gemma4), PartRep retains most of the gains of full repetition while using only 59.4\% of its KV cache and 79.0\% of its prefill FLOPs.

尽管仅解码器的语言模型(LLMs)在广泛的自然语言任务中表现出色,但由于因果注意力引发的信息流不对称,它们面临挑战:后续的标记在上下文基础上比前面的标记更为丰富。一种简单有效的解决方案是提示重复——在生成之前仅需在提示前添加第二份副本,可以重新分配各个位置的上下文基础,从而提高推理性能。然而,完全重复原始提示会使KV缓存占用加倍,并在预填充期间使注意力成本增加四倍,这在长上下文设置中显得不切实际。我们提出了PartRep,这是一种选择性增强方法,仅添加最具信息量的标记,而不是整个提示。我们使用逐标记的负对数似然(NLL)作为选择信号,基于这样一个假设:不太可预测的标记在周围上下文中更难恢复,因此更能从后位置的重复中受益。为了避免进行完整前向传递以进行评分的高昂成本,我们训练了一个轻量级的门控机制,该机制从早期层的隐藏状态预测高NLL标记,从而在中期预填充过程中通过提前退出实现标记选择。在八个基准测试(包括MMLU、GSM8K和RULER)和三个模型系列(Qwen2.5、Llama3.2、Gemma4)中,PartRep在仅使用59.4%的KV缓存和79.0%的预填充FLOPs的情况下,保留了大部分完全重复带来的收益。

On the Limits of Steering Vectors for Preference-Aligned Generation

关于偏好对齐生成的引导向量的局限性
Subbiah, Melanie, Hall, Zara, McKeown, Kathleen
Abstract
Steering vectors have emerged as a promising approach to controlled text generation, offering interpretable, training-free mechanisms for shaping model outputs. However, their practical generality remains poorly understood. We study the limits of steering vector generalization along three dimensions: trait expressibility, task transfer, and multi-trait composition. Using the PLUME writing personalization benchmark, we extract steering vectors for a range of preferences and evaluate them on summarization and email-writing tasks across two open-source models (Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct and Llama3.1-8B-Instruct). We find that steering effectiveness varies substantially across traits. We further show that steering effectiveness can degrade when vectors extracted from positive and negative style examples are transferred to downstream writing personalization tasks. Finally, we compare common methods for composing multiple steering vectors and find that all methods suffer significant drops in trait expression as more vectors are added, with a tradeoff between coherence and expressibility that requires per-setting hyperparameter tuning. Taken together, our results suggest that steering vectors face meaningful limits as a general-purpose tool for preference alignment.

PairCoder++: Pair Programming as a Universal Paradigm for Verified Code-Driven Multimodal and Structured-Artifact Generation

PairCoder++:作为验证代码驱动的多模态和结构化工件生成的通用范式的配对编程
Chen, Junhao, Li, Xiang, Chen, Mingjin, Zhang, Boran, Zhang, Henghaofan, Xu, Yibin, Cui, Yuehan, Weng, Fangsheng, Ma, Fei, Tian, Qi, Huang, Ruqi, Zhao, Hao
Abstract
Code is the medium through which large language models generate structured artifacts: charts, scientific figures, vector graphics, CAD models, 3D scenes, and hardware designs are all produced by writing programs. In this regime single pass inference is brittle, because the compiler, renderer, or simulator that decides whether the artifact exists is invisible to the model. We present PairCoder, which grounds review in the toolchain and realizes it as two agent pair programming: a Driver agent writes the program, a Navigator agent reviews it against verification evidence (diagnostics, execution results, and renderings of the current artifact beside the target), and the two switch roles when errors persist. Across 17 public benchmarks and seven models from three vendors, PairCoder improves essentially every benchmark whose artifact is verifiable, on full official metric suites rather than execution alone (for example, Blender scene executability 0.20 to 0.78; TikZ compile rate up 10 to 30 points on every model), at 2.9 to 9.2 times single model cost (about 7 times overall). The improvements concentrate where the toolchain provides an informative oracle and the baseline leaves headroom, and the method ties or mildly regresses where the oracle is weak; we frame pair programming as a reliable recipe for verified code driven generation.

The Grammar Does the Work: Functional vs. Lexical Dependency Length Minimization Across Universal Dependencies

语法发挥作用:跨通用依赖的功能性与词汇性依赖长度最小化
Gerdes, Kim
Abstract
Dependency length minimization (DLM) is a well-documented processing universal, but previous studies report a single mean dependency distance (MDD) per language, obscuring variation across syntactic relation types. We analyze 122 languages in UD and SUD (version 2.17), showing that DLM operates on two distinct levels. Grammar-driven optimization targets functional dependencies (det, case, aux), which are universally short (mean 1.71, $\sigma$ = 0.33) and invariant across typologically diverse languages. Processing-driven optimization operates on lexical dependencies (nsubj, obj, obl), which are longer (mean 2.87), highly variable ($\sigma$ = 0.63), and constrained by word-order typology. This asymmetry holds in SUD despite reversed head direction (r = 0.92). We conclude that ''the grammar does the work'' of minimization by scaffolding sentences with local functional attachments, leaving processing pressures to determine the ordering of lexical heads.

TUDUM: A Turkish-Thinking Reasoning Pipeline for Qwen3.5-27B

TUDUM:一个面向土耳其推理的 Qwen3.5-27B 思维模型管道
Bingol, Baran, Turkoglu, Bahaeddin
Abstract
This paper presents TUDUM (T\"urk\c{c}e D\"u\c{s}\"unen \"Uretken Model), a project pipeline for adapting a Qwen-family 27B thinking model toward Turkish reasoning. The central problem is not only to answer Turkish prompts in Turkish, but to make the explicit reasoning trace itself Turkish. A thinking model may translate a Turkish prompt into an English-centered internal or visible scratchpad, solve the problem mostly in English, and only localize the final answer. TUDUM instead treats the generated ... block as a trainable behavior. The pipeline starts from the project base checkpoint unsloth/Qwen3.5-27B, applies supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on 15,991 Turkish reasoning examples using LoRA adapters, and then applies GRPO-family reinforcement learning on a proxy-filtered Turkish mathematics environment. The results are mixed. SFT made the model shorter and more consistently Turkish in its reasoning behavior, with large reductions in average response length and thinking exhaustion, but reduced benchmark accuracy. RL recovered some mathematical performance, especially AIME24 at the best early checkpoint, yet did not uniformly improve all benchmarks and did not exceed the base model on the reported Macro-6 average. The contribution is therefore best framed as a technically honest Turkish-thinking reasoning pipeline and evaluation, not as a claim of state-of-the-art Turkish reasoning.

AIriskEval-edu: New Dataset for Risk Assessment in AI-mediated K-12 Educational Explanations

AIriskEval-edu:用于AI介导的K-12教育解释风险评估的新数据集
Irigoyen, Javier, Daza, Roberto, Jurado, Francisco, Fierrez, Julian, Tolosana, Ruben, Ortigosa, Alvaro, Blas, Enrique, Morales, Aythami
Abstract
This work introduces AIriskEval-edu-db2, a new dataset designed to train and evaluate auditors based on LLMs for an explainable pedagogical risk assessment in instructional content for grades K-12. The dataset comprises 1,639 explanations from 170 curated ScienceQA questions, covering science, language arts, and social sciences. For each question, the dataset includes an explanation written by a human teacher alongside 11 explanations generated by LLM-simulated teacher profiles associated with distinct pedagogical risks. We propose a comprehensive risk rubric aligned with established educational standards that covers five complementary dimensions: factual precision, depth and completeness, focus and relevance, student-level appropriateness, and ideological bias. A key contribution is the addition of 785 explanations with structured explainability annotations, including risk localization and risk description. The annotations are produced through a semi-automatic process with expert teacher validation. Finally, we present validation experiments comparing state-of-the-art proprietary models with a lightweight local Llama 3.1 8B model in both the pedagogical risk detection and the explainability assessment. These experiments evaluate whether supervised fine-tuning on AIriskEval-edu-db2 enables a locally deployable model to approach or outperform stronger frontier models while preserving privacy in educational auditing and assessment tasks.

NAVER LABS Europe Submission to the Instruction-following 2026 Short Track

NAVER LABS 欧洲在2026年指令跟随短赛中的提交
Boito, Marcely Zanon, Yadav, Hemant, Meunier, Jean-Luc, Calapodescu, Ioan
Abstract
In this paper, we describe NAVER LABS Europe's submission to the instruction-following speech processing short track at IWSLT 2026. We participate again in the constrained setting, developing systems capable of jointly performing ASR, ST, and SQA from English speech into Chinese, Italian, and German. Building on our previous submission, ranked first in last year's short track, we update our multi-stage training pipeline by replacing the speech projector with SpeechMapper, a method for learning a speech-to-LLM embedding projector using only ASR data. In addition, we introduce a synthetic SQA dataset, fakACL, composed of artificially generated scientific presentations. This dataset is built by prompting the LLM backbone, segmenting the generated talks, and synthesizing speech with SeamlessM4T-large-v2. The combination of an improved speech projection mechanism and domain-specific synthetic data allows our model to outperform last year's best short-track system, while being considerably more compact and relying on a weaker LLM backbone. This year's results place our system tied for first place in the overall short track ranking.

Beyond Supervised Clarification: Input Rewriting with LLMs for Dialogue Discourse Parsing

超越监督澄清:利用大型语言模型进行对话语篇解析的输入重写
Liu, Yiming, Zhang, Ziyue, Xu, Zhichao, Yu, Xin, Tang, Yingheng, Jiang, Tianyu, Cao, Jie
Abstract
Rewriting inputs to improve frozen downstream models has become a common strategy in modern NLP pipelines. Prior work on incremental dialogue discourse parsing (DDP) shows that supervised clarification models can rewrite fragmentary or underspecified utterances, such as resolving ellipsis or references, to improve parsing accuracy. In this work, we revisit this idea under realistic deployment conditions, where no clarification supervision is available and the clarifier must rely on zero-shot prompting or feedback from a frozen parser. Across three Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (SDRT) datasets and multiple parsers, we find that last-utterance clarification is far less reliable than suggested by supervised settings. Parser-agnostic rewriting often introduces more regressions than repairs, as edits that enable fixes also disrupt discourse cues relied upon by the parser. A best-of-8 rewriting analysis further reveals a practical ceiling: a large fraction of errors are not repairable through input rewriting alone. A parser-aware clarifier trained with GRPO reduces regressions by up to 37% by learning conservative abstention, yet still fails to produce selectivity-aware clarifications that consistently improve parsing. Together, these findings recast clarification as a selective intervention problem. We identify rewritability prediction, deciding whether an utterance is repairable before intervention, as the key missing capability for input-side optimization of frozen discourse parsers, and a critical direction for improving agentic pipelines more broadly.

重写输入以改善冻结的下游模型已成为现代自然语言处理(NLP)管道中的一种常见策略。先前关于增量对话语篇解析(DDP)的研究表明,监督澄清模型可以重写片段化或不明确的发言,例如解决省略或指代问题,从而提高解析准确性。在本研究中,我们在现实部署条件下重新审视这一想法,在这种情况下没有澄清监督,澄清者必须依赖零-shot 提示或来自冻结解析器的反馈。在三个分段语篇表示理论(SDRT)数据集和多个解析器的实验中,我们发现最后发言的澄清远不如监督设置所建议的那样可靠。解析器无关的重写往往引入的回归比修复更多,因为使修复成为可能的编辑也会干扰解析器所依赖的语篇线索。对8种重写方案的最佳分析进一步揭示了一个实际的上限:很大一部分错误无法仅通过输入重写来修复。通过学习保守的放弃策略,使用GRPO训练的解析器感知澄清者将回归减少了多达37%,但仍未能产生能够持续改善解析的选择性意识澄清。综合来看,这些发现将澄清重新定义为一个选择性干预问题。我们确定重写可预测性,即在干预之前判断发言是否可修复,作为冻结语篇解析器输入侧优化的关键缺失能力,以及更广泛改善代理管道的关键方向。

Towards a Phonology-Informed Evaluation of Multilingual TTS

朝着一个以音位学为基础的多语言文本到语音评估
Barman, Sneha Ray, Sharma, Neeraj Kumar, Mahanta, Shakuntala
Abstract
Neural TTS systems can sound natural across languages, but naturalness does not guarantee the preservation of sound contrasts that distinguish words from their grammatical forms. Standard metrics like MOS do not test for this. We propose a classifier-based framework that audits TTS output against language-specific phonological patterns using human speech as a benchmark. Testing Assamese advanced tongue root (ATR) vowel harmony with Meta's MMS TTS, we show that a classifier trained on human speech transfers to synthesized speech with minimal loss. The faithfulness audit reveals that [+ATR] mid vowels are realized as [-ATR] in 1/3 tokens despite an underlying [+ATR] specification, a bias absent in human speech. At the word level, predicted ATR labels classify harmony more accurately than transcription labels, indicating a gap between intended and produced phonology. The framework offers task-specific diagnostics and generalizes to other phonological contrasts with measurable acoustic cues.

神经文本到语音(TTS)系统在不同语言中可以听起来很自然,但自然性并不保证能够保留区分单词及其语法形式的音位对比。标准指标如均值意见分数(MOS)并未对此进行测试。我们提出了一种基于分类器的框架,该框架使用人类语音作为基准,审计TTS输出与特定语言的音位学模式之间的关系。通过使用Meta的MMS TTS测试阿萨姆语的前舌根(ATR)元音和谐,我们展示了一个在人工语音上训练的分类器能够以最小的损失转移到合成语音上。忠实性审计显示,尽管存在潜在的[+ATR]规范,1/3的标记中[+ATR]中元音却被实现为[-ATR],这一偏差在人工语音中并不存在。在单词层面,预测的ATR标签比转录标签更准确地分类和谐,表明意图与实际产生的音位学之间存在差距。该框架提供了特定任务的诊断,并且可以推广到其他具有可测量声学线索的音位对比。

Object Aligner: A Configurable JSON Schema Similarity Score for Graphs, Applied to LLM Prompt Optimization

对象对齐器:一种可配置的图形 JSON 架构相似度评分,应用于大语言模型提示优化
Drchal, Jan
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are often asked to produce JSON conforming to a fixed schema, powering information extraction, tool calling, agentic planning, and knowledge-graph construction. Measuring how closely an output matches a gold reference is essential yet surprisingly hard: exact match is brittle, text similarity ignores structure, and an LLM judge is expensive, opaque, and non-deterministic. We address this with Object Aligner (OA), an open-source Python library that scores two JSON objects deterministically by recursively aligning their trees (the Hungarian algorithm for unordered collections, sequence alignment for ordered ones) and awarding partial credit at the granularity the schema declares. The Object Aligner is configured entirely through a set of JSON Schema extensions, so adapting it to a new task involves annotating a schema rather than writing code. Complex structured data, however, are rarely flat trees: records may form graphs or hypergraphs keyed by arbitrary identifiers, breaking the assumptions of prior similarity metrics. Our central contribution, referential alignment, closes this gap by inferring a bijection between gold and candidate identifiers and scoring every reference through it, so the score is invariant to relabeling. Since recovering this bijection exactly is graph isomorphism, the Object Aligner approximates it with Weisfeiler-Leman color refinement. An order-sensitive sequence regime targets ranking and planning. Since the same alignment localizes every mismatch, the Object Aligner emits ranked repair suggestions at no extra cost. Used as a reward inside the GEPA prompt optimizer, Object Aligner helps or stays neutral across all datasets.

大语言模型(LLMs)通常被要求生成符合固定架构的 JSON,以支持信息提取、工具调用、代理规划和知识图谱构建。衡量输出与黄金参考的匹配程度至关重要,但却出乎意料地困难:精确匹配脆弱,文本相似度忽略结构,而 LLM 评判者则昂贵、不透明且非确定性。我们通过对象对齐器(Object Aligner, OA)解决了这个问题,OA 是一个开源的 Python 库,通过递归对齐两个 JSON 对象的树(对无序集合使用匈牙利算法,对有序集合使用序列对齐)并根据架构声明的粒度授予部分信用,从而确定性地评分。对象对齐器完全通过一组 JSON 架构扩展进行配置,因此将其适应新任务涉及对架构进行注释而不是编写代码。然而,复杂的结构化数据很少是平坦的树:记录可能形成由任意标识符键控的图或超图,这打破了先前相似度度量的假设。我们的核心贡献是参考对齐,通过推断黄金和候选标识符之间的双射并通过它对每个引用进行评分,从而填补了这一空白,因此评分对重新标记是不变的。由于准确恢复这一双射是图同构,对象对齐器使用 Weisfeiler-Leman 颜色细化来近似它。一个对顺序敏感的序列机制针对排名和规划。由于相同的对齐定位每个不匹配,对象对齐器以零额外成本发出排名修复建议。作为 GEPA 提示优化器中的奖励使用,对象对齐器在所有数据集上都能提供帮助或保持中立。

Using embeddings to predict spoken word duration and pitch in Mandarin monosyllabic words

利用嵌入向量预测普通话单音节词的发音时长和音高
Jin, Xiaoyun, Ernestus, Mirjam, Baayen, R. Harald
Abstract
Time-normalized f0 contours of Mandarin words in conversational speech have been shown to be predictable in part from their contextualized embeddings (CEs). The present study investigates whether CEs also predict spoken word duration for 7470 tokens of Mandarin monosyllabic CV words extracted from a Mandarin corpus of spontaneous speech. We show that CEs indeed are predictive for duration, above chance level, not only at the type level, but also at the level of individual tokens, as indicated by the results obtained with the type-wise and token-wise permutation baselines. We also show that the predicted durations are sufficiently precise to back-transform predicted f0 contours in [0,1] normalized time to contours on the ms time scale. The resulting predicted contours approximate empirical contours and also outperform a permutation baseline.

EduArt: An educational-level benchmark for evaluating art history knowledge in large language models

EduArt:评估大型语言模型艺术史知识的教育级基准
Spinaci, Gianmarco, Klic, Lukas, Colavizza, Giovanni
Abstract
Large language models now score near ceiling on general benchmarks, but these aggregate measures reveal little about how models behave within single disciplines. Existing art-focused evaluations rely on synthetic questions and rarely report item-level properties. This paper introduces EduArt, an educational-level benchmark for art-historical knowledge and visual reasoning in multimodal LLMs. EduArt comprises 871 human-authored questions from Italian secondary-school exercises and US Advanced Placement Art History exams, spanning two languages and seven formats from multiple choice to in-text word placement and error identification. Twelve models from six provider families were evaluated under a default answer-only condition and a motivation condition requiring written justification, and characterized using Classical Test Theory and a logistic regression isolating the effects of format, language, image presence, and model. The benchmark showed strong psychometric properties (mean discrimination 0.514, 82.3 percent good discriminators), while multiple-choice accuracy saturated near ceiling for six models, showing recognition formats alone cannot distinguish frontier models. Format was a strong independent predictor of accuracy: models exceeding 94 percent on multiple choice fell to 23.9 percent on open completion (Claude Opus 4.6) and 6.2 percent on error identification (Claude Sonnet 4.6). The motivation condition changed accuracy in a predominantly negative, family-dependent direction. These dissociations indicate that art-historical knowledge and the ability to deploy it are distinct capabilities, and that single-format benchmarks overestimate what models can reliably do. Mapping this capability profile is a precondition for responsible use of multimodal LLMs in art-historical scholarship, where tasks demand producing and manipulating content rather than selecting from fixed options.

大型语言模型在一般基准测试中得分接近上限,但这些汇总指标对模型在单一学科内的表现揭示甚少。现有的艺术相关评估依赖于合成问题,且很少报告项目级属性。本文介绍了EduArt,这是一个针对艺术历史知识和视觉推理的教育级基准,适用于多模态大型语言模型(LLMs)。EduArt包含871个由人类创作的问题,来源于意大利中学练习和美国高级课程艺术历史考试,涵盖两种语言和七种格式,从选择题到文本内单词填空和错误识别。评估了来自六个提供者家族的十二个模型,采用默认的仅答题条件和要求书面理由的动机条件,并使用经典测验理论和逻辑回归分析格式、语言、图像存在和模型的影响。基准显示出强大的心理测量特性(平均区分度0.514,82.3%的良好区分者),而六个模型的选择题准确率接近上限,表明仅凭识别格式无法区分前沿模型。格式是准确率的强独立预测因子:在选择题中超过94%的模型在开放式完成(Claude Opus 4.6)中降至23.9%,在错误识别(Claude Sonnet 4.6)中降至6.2%。动机条件在主要呈负向、依赖于模型家族的方向上改变了准确率。这些分离表明艺术历史知识及其运用能力是不同的能力,且单一格式的基准高估了模型可以可靠执行的任务。绘制这一能力轮廓是负责任地在艺术历史学术中使用多模态大型语言模型的前提,因为这些任务要求生成和操控内容,而非从固定选项中选择。

OpenSafeIntent: Evaluating Intent-Calibrated Safe Completion Across Dual-Use Prompt Sets

OpenSafeIntent:评估跨双重用途提示集的意图校准安全完成
Uppaal, Rheeya, Lyu, Seungwoo, Sung, Selina, Hu, Junjie
Abstract
Safe completion requires models to provide useful assistance without enabling harm, but this behavior is difficult to evaluate with isolated prompts. We introduce OpenSafeIntent, a benchmark of controlled prompt-sets that vary intent while holding the underlying task fixed. Each datapoint contains benign, dual-use, and malicious variants of the same task. This design lets us evaluate whether models calibrate assistance across intent shifts, rather than merely appearing safe on average. Across a broad model suite, we find that prompt-level safety hides important failures: models often fail to remain safe across matched intent variants, dual-use behavior is brittle under paraphrase, high-level answers on risky topics are not reliably safe, and responses that reframe ambiguous requests into safer tasks are substantially less likely to cross the safety boundary. Our results suggest that safe completion should be evaluated as intent-calibrated behavior over controlled task variants, not as a single safety-helpfulness tradeoff over independent prompts.

安全完成要求模型在提供有用帮助的同时不导致伤害,但这种行为在孤立提示下难以评估。我们引入了OpenSafeIntent,一个控制提示集的基准,这些提示集在保持基础任务不变的情况下变化意图。每个数据点包含相同任务的良性、双重用途和恶意变体。这种设计使我们能够评估模型在意图转变中是否能够校准帮助,而不仅仅是在平均水平上看起来安全。在广泛的模型套件中,我们发现提示级别的安全性掩盖了重要的失败:模型在匹配意图变体之间往往无法保持安全,双重用途行为在改述时表现脆弱,关于风险话题的高层次回答并不可靠安全,以及将模糊请求重新框定为更安全任务的响应显著不太可能越过安全边界。我们的结果表明,安全完成应作为在受控任务变体上的意图校准行为进行评估,而不是作为独立提示上的单一安全性与有用性的权衡。

SPLIT: Cross-Lingual Empathy and Cultural Grounding in English and Ukrainian LLM Responses

SPLIT:英语和乌克兰语大语言模型响应中的跨语言共情与文化基础
Chorna, Anna
Abstract
Large Language Models are increasingly deployed in emotional-support contexts and crisis-related situations. Nevertheless, their cross-lingual abilities in these circumstances remain underexplored. Existing benchmarks emphasize multilingual performance but rarely examine crisis-related empathy and cultural grounding in low-to-mid-resource languages. We introduce SPLIT, a 500-prompt benchmark designed to evaluate LLM consistency in generating emotionally grounded responses across five categories: Stress, Panic, Loneliness, Internal Displacement, and Tension. We evaluate three technically diverse LLMs across three dimensions: Empathetic Accuracy, Linguistic Naturalness, and Contextual & Cultural Grounding. The framework aims to assess and compare the quality of LLM responses in both English and Ukrainian languages, as well as to explore the reliability of the LLM-as-a-jury paradigm. Our findings reveal that Gemini-2.5-Flash and LLaMA-3.3-70B-Instruct degrade when transitioning to Ukrainian, while DeepSeek-V3 remains comparatively stable within our benchmark. We additionally find that human and AI evaluators agree weakly on empathy and naturalness but diverge on cultural grounding. We further argue that producing Ukrainian text is not equivalent to producing Ukrainian emotional support. Our findings may assist in the future development of more culturally tailored benchmark designs, as well as encourage a stronger emphasis on human-centered evaluation.

HaloGuard 1.0: An Open Weights Constitutional Classifier for Multilingual AI Safety

HaloGuard 1.0:一种用于多语言人工智能安全的开放权重宪法分类器
Sangameswaran, Navaneeth, S, Preetham, Lenin, Ashmiya
Abstract
We present HaloGuard 1.0, an open-weights implementation of the constitutional-classifier paradigm for input safety. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on English and multilingual prompt-safety benchmarks at roughly one-tenth the model size of current leading open guard models. The safety constitution is the organising structure of the corpus: a natural-language constitution of 46 policies and 2,940 subcategories drives synthetic data generation, with exhaustive one-to-one paired counterfactuals that hold topic and vocabulary fixed while flipping intent, a two-tier harmless design that separately targets boundary and baseline false positives (FPs), and balanced multilingual materialisation across 46 languages that treats language as a surface form appearing on both sides of the boundary rather than as an adversarial signal. Across seven prompt-safety benchmarks, HaloGuard 1.0-0.8B attains the best average F1 (90.9) of any open guard we evaluate, outperforming baselines up to 27B parameters (over 30 times larger) while holding false-positive rate (FPR) to 4.3 and false-negative rate (FNR) to 9.5. The HaloGuard 1.0-4B variant reaches average F1 of 92.1 and FPR of 3.5, spending its extra capacity on precision rather than recall. A structured adjudication of the remaining failures indicates that most apparent missed-harm cases are benchmark mislabels rather than genuine model misses. An always-on adversarial red-teaming protocol continuously hardens the guard against both content-level and agentic attacks. We release the models as open weights.

Unlocking Speech-Text Compositional Powers: Instruction-Following Speech Language Models without Instruction Tuning

解锁语音-文本组合能力:无需指令调优的遵循指令的语音语言模型
Du, Congrui, Zhang, Yang, Qian, Kaizhi, Chang, Shiyu
Abstract
Instruction tuning for speech language models (SLMs) is substantially more challenging than for text-based large language models (LLMs), as it requires learning a new modality and a wide range of speech-specific instructions in addition to those supported by text LLMs. Existing SLM training approaches largely replicate the text LLM training paradigm by synthesizing large-scale speech pre-training and instruction-tuning datasets. However, this strategy is difficult to scale, since speech sequences are significantly longer than text sequences. In this paper, we propose SpeechCombine, an instruction-following speech language model trained without any instruction tuning, using only a single round of speech pre-training on 30k hours of data. Starting from a text LLM base model, we perform continuous pre-training on speech utterances to obtain a speech-adapted model, and then directly combine its weights with the weight difference between the instruction-tuned and base versions of the text LLM. Our results show that this simple combination strategy not only preserves the knowledge and capabilities of the original text LLM, but also effectively transfers them to the speech domain. These findings suggest a new direction for SLM training that avoids reliance on massive speech data.

语音语言模型(SLMs)的指令调优比文本基础的大型语言模型(LLMs)要困难得多,因为它不仅需要学习一种新的模态,还需要掌握一系列特定于语音的指令,而这些指令在文本 LLMs 中是支持的。现有的 SLM 训练方法在很大程度上复制了文本 LLM 训练范式,通过合成大规模的语音预训练和指令调优数据集。然而,由于语音序列显著长于文本序列,这一策略难以扩展。在本文中,我们提出了 SpeechCombine,这是一种遵循指令的语音语言模型,采用仅一次语音预训练(使用 30,000 小时的数据)而无需任何指令调优。我们从一个文本 LLM 基础模型开始,对语音话语进行连续预训练,以获得一个适应语音的模型,然后直接将其权重与指令调优版本和基础版本文本 LLM 之间的权重差结合。我们的结果表明,这一简单的组合策略不仅保留了原始文本 LLM 的知识和能力,而且有效地将其转移到语音领域。这些发现为 SLM 训练提供了一种新的方向,避免了对大量语音数据的依赖。

Challenges and Recommendations for LLMs-as-a-Judge in Multilingual Settings and Low-Resource Languages

多语言环境和低资源语言中 LLM 作为裁判的挑战与建议
Doğruöz, A. Seza, Liao, Xixian, Blaschke, Verena, Prange, Jakob, Li, Senyu, Adelani, David Ifeoluwa
Abstract
LLM-as-a-Judge has become the dominant evaluation paradigm for many natural language generation tasks, due to shortcomings of conventional metrics and high correlations with human judgment, albeit mostly in English. There are now attempts to extend LLM-as-a-Judge to multilingual settings including low-resource languages. However, LLMs have limited proficiency in low-resource languages, and there is often no adequate human validation in these settings. To highlight the scope of the problem and current practices, we explore the use of LLM-as-a-Judge evaluators in ACL Anthology papers focusing on multilingual settings and low-resource languages across a diverse set of tasks. Out of 650 papers mentioning LLM-as-a-judge, only 33 of them focus on low-resource or multilingual settings. Our in-depth analysis of these papers indicates inconsistent evaluation outcomes, a tendency to overtrust LLM judgments in multilingual settings, and the widespread reliance on a single judge model per study. To help the NLP community further, we conclude with recommendations about how to use LLM-as-a-Judge in multilingual and low-resource settings.

LLM 作为裁判(LLM-as-a-Judge)已成为许多自然语言生成任务的主导评估范式,主要是由于传统指标的不足以及与人类判断的高度相关性,尽管这种相关性主要体现在英语中。目前,已经有尝试将 LLM 作为裁判扩展到包括低资源语言在内的多语言环境。然而,LLM 在低资源语言中的能力有限,并且在这些环境中通常缺乏足够的人类验证。为了突出问题的范围和当前的实践,我们探讨了在 ACL 论文集中使用 LLM 作为裁判的评估者,重点关注多语言环境和低资源语言的多样化任务。在提到 LLM 作为裁判的 650 篇论文中,仅有 33 篇集中于低资源或多语言环境。我们对这些论文的深入分析表明,评估结果不一致,在多语言环境中对 LLM 判断的过度信任倾向,以及每项研究普遍依赖单一裁判模型。为了进一步帮助自然语言处理(NLP)社区,我们最后提出了关于如何在多语言和低资源环境中使用 LLM 作为裁判的建议。

BamiBERT: A New BERT-based Language Model for Vietnamese

BamiBERT:一种新的基于BERT的越南语语言模型
Nguyen, Dat Quoc, Pham, Thinh, Tran, Chi, Nguyen, Linh The
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce BamiBERT, a new BERT-based pre-trained language model for Vietnamese that addresses key limitations of PhoBERT -- the current de facto Vietnamese text encoder. Trained from scratch on a 129GB corpus of general-domain Vietnamese text for 20 epochs, BamiBERT supports an extended context length of up to 2048 tokens and operates directly on raw input, eliminating the need for external word segmentation. Across 8 Vietnamese benchmarks, it achieves the best score on 11 of 15 metrics and the second-best on 3 others, setting a new state of the art among "base"-sized Vietnamese encoders and demonstrating strong cross-domain generalization. We release BamiBERT at: https://huggingface.co/Qualcomm-AI-Research/BamiBERT

CheckRLM: Effective Knowledge-Thought Coherence Checking in Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning

CheckRLM:检索增强推理中的有效知识-思维一致性检查
Xu, Dingling, Wang, Ruobing, Zhao, Qingfei, Yan, Yukun, Wang, Zhichun, Zha, Daren, Yu, Shi, Liu, Zhenghao, Wang, Shuo, Han, Xu, Sun, Maosong
Abstract
Reasoning Language Models (RLMs) have significantly improved performance on complex tasks by extending the reasoning chain. However, these chains are prone to containing factual errors, particularly in knowledge-intensive tasks. To address this issue, we propose CheckRLM, a framework that improves the reliability of the reasoning process through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) by timely checking and correcting factual errors. Specifically, CheckRLM extracts factual claims from the reasoning chain to identify and localize subtle knowledge inconsistencies during inference. Upon detection of errors, a refinement mechanism performs minimal-cost yet precise corrections by leveraging external knowledge, ensuring coherence between the reasoning chain and correct knowledge. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CheckRLM substantially outperforms existing baselines, exhibiting a strong capability to mitigate error accumulation in long-horizon reasoning with lower costs. The code and data are available at https://github.com/AI9Stars/CheckRLM.

On the Role of Directionality in Structural Generalization

结构泛化中方向性的作用
Wei, Zichao
Abstract
Several SLOG test categories explicitly involve directional distinctions (modifier position shifts, argument extraction positions), yet AM-Parser, the previous SOTA, uses an AM algebra whose operations do not encode direction. We redesign the symbolic backend around CCG directed types (deterministic CKY + single linear decoder, 30K learnable parameters). Under the same BERT-base encoder, the system achieves 75.9$\pm$6.4% LF exact match, surpassing AM-Parser (70.8$\pm$4.3%). Per SLOG's own category groupings, gains are highly directional: the CCG system outperforms AM-Parser on all 5 position-shift categories (+29.9pp), while AM-Parser outperforms on all 6 recursive-depth categories. Replacing the encoder with DeBERTa-v3-large yields 90.7$\pm$4.9%, with the largest encoder gains in recursive-depth categories, complementary to directionality's gains. Directional representations shift the bottleneck from the symbolic layer (AM-Parser's 0% category ceiling) to the neural layer, which improves with encoder upgrades.

多个 SLOG 测试类别明确涉及方向性区分(修饰符位置变化、参数提取位置),然而之前的最先进模型 AM-Parser 使用的 AM 代数其操作并不编码方向。我们围绕 CCG 有向类型重新设计了符号后端(确定性 CKY + 单线性解码器,30K 可学习参数)。在相同的 BERT-base 编码器下,该系统实现了 75.9$ ext{±}$6.4% 的 LF 精确匹配,超越了 AM-Parser(70.8$ ext{±}$4.3%)。根据 SLOG 自身的类别分组,性能提升具有高度方向性:CCG 系统在所有 5 个位置变化类别上均优于 AM-Parser(+29.9 个百分点),而 AM-Parser 在所有 6 个递归深度类别上表现更佳。将编码器替换为 DeBERTa-v3-large 可获得 90.7$ ext{±}$4.9%,在递归深度类别中获得最大的编码器提升,这与方向性带来的提升相辅相成。有向表示将瓶颈从符号层(AM-Parser 的 0% 类别上限)转移到神经层,后者随着编码器的升级而改善。

World Wide Models: Literary Tools for Cultural AI

全球模型:文化人工智能的文学工具
Begus, Nina
Abstract
LLMs stage a new form of cultural encounter that is massive, automated, and monolingual. Literary disciplines have always negotiated cultural struggles with comparative reading of literature, narratological and poetic analysis, critical theory, world literature, and translation. These tools have now become indispensable for building culturally literate AI. The essay develops a layered framework toward more nuanced textual models and pluralistic interpretations of AI, emphasizing the natural intersections of literature and AI development, connecting current debates in critical theory with structural monolingualism, and suggesting a new application of world literature approaches to address global AI textuality through macrostructure, circulation, and untranslatability.

HULAT2 at MER-TRANS 2026: Governed Multi-Agent Simplification for Spanish Easy-to-Read Generation

HULAT2在MER-TRANS 2026:西班牙易读文本生成的多智能体简化方法
Moreno, Lourdes, Martínez, Paloma, Sanchez-Escudero, Marco Antonio, Domínguez-Gómez, Miguel
Abstract
This paper describes the participation of HULAT2-UC3M in the Spanish track of MER-TRANS 2026, a shared task on multilingual Easy-to-Read translation. Three fully automatic Spanish runs were submitted. RUN1 and RUN2 used a LangGraph-based multi-agent workflow combining Gemini 2.5 Flash and RigoChat-7B-v2, parallel generation strategies, internal quality signals, Event-Condition-Action routing, controlled editing and traceable decisions. RUN1 used the base workflow, while RUN2 activated an additional lexical-support layer based on a glossary and lexical resources. RUN3 was a RigoChat-based generate-evaluate-regenerate baseline with prompt engineering and LoRA-based adaptation. The official leaderboard reports BLEU-Orig, BLEU-Gold, SARI and BERTScore. During development, additional internal signals were also inspected, including semantic fidelity, readability, lexical simplicity, syntactic clarity and factual consistency. According to official SARI, RUN1 was the best HULAT2 run, with 44.0543 points, followed by RUN2 with 43.1049 and RUN3 with 38.5136. These results indicate that, in this task setting, signal-guided multi-agent routing outperformed the linear regeneration baseline. They also show that adding lexical support did not automatically improve reference-based scores. Further segment-level and document-level analysis are required to assess readability, factual consistency and user-oriented adequacy.

Know Your Source: A Public Knowledge Store for Media Background Checks

了解你的来源:一个用于媒体背景检查的公共知识库
Nichols, Benjamin, Schlichtkrull, Michael, Ousidhoum, Nedjma
Abstract
LLM-based retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is increasingly used for automated fact-checking (AFC) and related tasks. By grounding LLM outputs in retrieved evidence, RAG-based systems provide transparent justifications while allowing external information to be updated independently of the underlying model. However, existing approaches often assume retrieved evidence is reliable, although real-world information may be conflicting, outdated, and can originate from unreliable or biased sources. Recent work on *source-critical reasoning* addresses this challenge through media background checks (MBCs) (Schlichtkrull, 2024), which assess the credibility of evidence sources to support downstream fact verification. However, generating MBCs relies on costly proprietary search APIs, limiting reproducibility. To mitigate this issue, we introduce MEDIAREF, a publicly available knowledge store of web-sourced documents that enables reproducible, low-cost evaluation of MBC generation across 200 media sources. We describe a reproducible methodology for constructing and updating the collection, assess widely used LLMs on the MBC generation task, and demonstrate that MEDIAREF supports higher-quality MBC generation through both automatic and qualitative evaluation.

基于大型语言模型(LLM)的检索增强生成(RAG)在自动化事实检查(AFC)及相关任务中越来越多地被使用。通过将LLM输出与检索到的证据相结合,基于RAG的系统提供了透明的论证,同时允许外部信息独立于基础模型进行更新。然而,现有的方法通常假设检索到的证据是可靠的,尽管现实世界中的信息可能存在冲突、过时,并且可能来源于不可靠或有偏见的来源。最近关于*来源关键推理*的研究通过媒体背景检查(MBCs)(Schlichtkrull, 2024)解决了这一挑战,该方法评估证据来源的可信度以支持下游的事实验证。然而,生成MBCs依赖于昂贵的专有搜索API,限制了其可重复性。为了解决这个问题,我们引入了MEDIAREF,一个公开可用的网络文档知识库,使得对200个媒体来源的MBC生成进行可重复、低成本的评估成为可能。我们描述了一种可重复的方法来构建和更新该集合,评估了广泛使用的LLM在MBC生成任务上的表现,并证明MEDIAREF通过自动和定性评估支持更高质量的MBC生成。

The Future of NLP may not be at NLP Conferences: Scholarly Migration Patterns in Natural Language Processing

自然语言处理的未来可能不在自然语言处理会议上:自然语言处理领域的学术迁移模式
Jurgens, David
Abstract
Natural Language Processing (NLP) has traditionally been published in its core disciplinary venues like ACL. However, advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) has led to a blurring of the disciplinary lines between NLP and general Machine Learning (ML), with authors regularly publishing in venues from both fields. Here, we ask whether the disciplinary center of gravity is shifting. Using NLP research published from 2010 to 2026 and studies of both established and new authors, we find that a migration is taking place. First, comparing the pre- and post-LLM eras, established authors lost 19.2pp of share at flagship *ACL main-conference tracks while gaining 14.8pp in the newer Findings tracks, and general ML venues rose 8.6pp, even when adjusting for parallel growth in the fields. Second, among newer authors who debut with at least three first-author NLP-topic papers, the share whose work appears mostly at *ACL venues fell from 84% (2019) to 74% (2024), while the share appearing mostly at general ML venues rose from 5% to 21%. Using causal inference techniques, we estimate that these general ML venues confer a significant citation premium, which influences venue selection. Together, these results point to a significant shift in where NLP research is published.

Language Models as Measurement Apparatus for Culture

语言模型作为文化测量工具
Chang, Kent K.
Abstract
Language models are increasingly used to quantify cultural phenomena, but what makes such measurement distinctively cultural? This paper argues that NLP work on culture is a material-discursive practice: the apparatus -- model, data, annotation, evaluation -- participates in constituting the cultural reality it measures, rather than passively recording it. Drawing on Karen Barad's concept of the agential cut -- the contingent boundary between phenomenon and instrument -- I show that the apparatus's substantive design choices draw such boundaries, and that the boundary is entangled from the start because language models have already internalized much of the cultural material they measure. I illustrate this through three case studies on television and film dialogue (measuring structure, interaction, and deviation) and three examinations of the apparatus itself (erasure of cultural markers, attunement to historical material, and agency in an agentic workflow). This big picture analysis proposes a research program that is theory-driven, empirically rigorous, and culturally contingent, treating each agential cut as a conscious commitment, at once methodological and ethical.

语言模型越来越多地被用于量化文化现象,但是什么使这种测量具有独特的文化性?本文认为,关于文化的自然语言处理(NLP)工作是一种物质-话语实践:测量工具——模型、数据、注释、评估——参与构成其所测量的文化现实,而不是被动地记录它。借鉴凯伦·巴拉德(Karen Barad)的“代理切割”(agential cut)概念——现象与工具之间的偶然边界——我展示了测量工具的实质性设计选择如何划定这些边界,并且这一边界从一开始就纠缠在一起,因为语言模型已经内化了它们所测量的许多文化材料。我通过三个关于电视和电影对话的案例研究(测量结构、互动和偏差)以及对测量工具本身的三次考察(文化标记的消除、对历史材料的调适以及在代理工作流程中的能动性)来说明这一点。这一宏观分析提出了一个以理论驱动、经验严谨和文化依赖为特征的研究计划,将每一个代理切割视为一种有意识的承诺,既是方法论的也是伦理的。

Will Scaling Improve Social Simulation with LLMs?

扩展是否会改善大型语言模型的社会模拟?
Ziems, Caleb, Held, William, Karaca, Su Doga, Grusky, David, Hashimoto, Tatsunori, Yang, Diyi
Abstract
Large Language Model (LLM) social simulations are a promising research method, but they are not yet faithful enough to be adopted widely. In this work, we investigate whether the current scaling paradigm in language modeling is likely to close these gaps, or whether simulation fidelity is orthogonal to general capabilities and therefore deserving of more research attention. We use scaling laws to study the relationship between LLMs' compute scale, general capability benchmarks, and the fidelity of social simulation in three representative sub-domains: opinion modeling, behavioral simulation, and longitudinal forecasting. Surprisingly, we discover strong compute scaling in all three settings, using a suite of 85 transformer LLMs with the Qwen3 architecture pre-trained on the DCLM web text corpus under fixed-compute budgets from $10^{18}$ to $10^{20}$ FLOPs. Then we evaluate 35 larger and more capable open-weight models up to 70B parameters, allowing us to predict downstream accuracy from loss. This reveals that the majority of behavioral and opinion simulation tasks will rapidly improve with scale, particularly when they involve populations that are well-represented in English web corpora. Longitudinal forecasting and underrepresented opinions scale more slowly, especially when they are less correlated with general knowledge and reasoning benchmarks like MMLU. In behavior simulation, scaling fails to improve model calibration with human cognitive biases like risk aversion, as well as human heuristics like learning correlated rewards from related tasks. On these tasks, even fine-tuned models fail to noticeably scale up performance from 0.5B to 8B parameters. Taken together, we conclude that scale will improve social simulations in most settings, but outliers exist, and improvements will be less reliable in low-resource domains.

大型语言模型(LLM)社会模拟是一种有前景的研究方法,但尚未达到足够的忠实度以广泛采用。在本研究中,我们探讨当前语言建模中的扩展范式是否有可能弥补这些差距,或者模拟的忠实度是否与一般能力正交,因此值得更多的研究关注。我们使用扩展法则研究LLM的计算规模、一般能力基准与社会模拟的忠实度之间的关系,涵盖三个代表性子领域:意见建模、行为模拟和纵向预测。令人惊讶的是,我们在这三种设置中发现了强烈的计算扩展,使用了一套85个基于Qwen3架构的变换器LLM,这些模型在固定计算预算下(从$10^{18}$到$10^{20}$ FLOPs)预训练于DCLM网络文本语料库。随后,我们评估了35个更大且更强大的开放权重模型,参数规模高达700亿,使我们能够从损失预测下游准确性。这表明,大多数行为和意见模拟任务在扩展时会迅速改善,特别是当它们涉及在英语网络语料库中得到良好代表的人群时。纵向预测和代表性不足的意见扩展较慢,尤其是当它们与一般知识和推理基准(如MMLU)相关性较低时。在行为模拟中,扩展未能改善模型在风险厌恶等人类认知偏差以及从相关任务中学习相关奖励等人类启发式方面的校准。在这些任务中,即使是经过微调的模型也未能显著提升从5亿到80亿参数的性能。综合来看,我们得出结论,扩展将在大多数设置中改善社会模拟,但也存在例外,并且在低资源领域的改进将不那么可靠。

Audio-Based Understanding of Audiobook Narration Appeal

基于音频的有声书叙述吸引力理解
Elisha, Shahar, Beguerisse-Díaz, Mariano, Benetos, Emmanouil
Abstract
Narration is central to the audiobook listening experience, shaping how listeners engage with and understand the content. This work explores how narration qualities shape an audiobook's appeal, noting that their effects can vary by genre, title, and audience. We extract vocal and acoustic features (e.g., tone, pace, loudness) from LibriVox using pre-trained audio models and analyse their relationship with consumption data (specifically, view-rate) and their interplay with genre and title. Despite limited consumption data, we find that acoustic information alone has a robust association with appeal, even after accounting for title effects. We further validate these findings using more nuanced proprietary engagement metrics. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic computational study linking narration qualities, genre, title, and audiobook consumption, highlighting the potential of data-driven insights to improve audiobook personalisation and narrator casting.

Visually Grounded Self-Reflection for Vision-Language Models via Reinforcement Learning

通过强化学习实现视觉基础的自我反思以提升视觉语言模型
Tang, Liyan, Yin, Fangcong, Durrett, Greg
Abstract
Large vision-language models can reason over multimodal inputs by generating textual chains of thought (CoT). A key capability exhibited in CoT reasoning is self-reflection: revisiting earlier decisions and correcting previous errors. However, existing LVLMs often fail to properly attend to visual inputs during reflection, limiting their ability to translate feedback into grounded corrections, especially for out-of-distribution images. To address this issue, we propose a novel reinforcement learning training framework VRRL, with two components explicitly designed to elicit visually grounded self-reflection. First, we randomly mask trajectory prefixes during training to emphasize recovery from incorrect intermediate predictions rather than making early mistakes. Second, we introduce buffered roll-ins from an experience replay buffer to expose the model to diverse failure states that it must learn to correct. We evaluate our approach on visual grounding tasks involving tables and charts, as well as spatial navigation benchmarks. While off-the-shelf and conventionally fine-tuned models degrade substantially under distribution shift, our method substantially improves average out-of-distribution accuracy over standard RL and reflection-oriented fine-tuning baselines by using self-reflection effectively.

大型视觉语言模型能够通过生成文本思维链(CoT)对多模态输入进行推理。CoT推理中展现的一个关键能力是自我反思:重新审视早期决策并纠正之前的错误。然而,现有的LVLM(Large Vision-Language Models)在反思过程中往往未能正确关注视觉输入,这限制了它们将反馈转化为基础纠正的能力,尤其是在处理分布外图像时。为了解决这一问题,我们提出了一种新颖的强化学习训练框架VRRL,其中包含两个专门设计的组件,以引发视觉基础的自我反思。首先,我们在训练过程中随机屏蔽轨迹前缀,以强调从错误的中间预测中恢复,而不是早期犯错。其次,我们引入来自经验重放缓冲区的缓冲回滚,以使模型接触到多样的失败状态,从而学习进行纠正。我们在涉及表格和图表的视觉基础任务以及空间导航基准上评估了我们的方法。尽管现成的和传统微调的模型在分布转移下显著降级,但我们的方法通过有效利用自我反思,显著提高了标准强化学习和以反思为导向的微调基线的平均分布外准确率。

Abstract
Long-form TV dramas present a formidable challenge for comprehensive video understanding, where deciphering complex storyline often relies on \textbf{speaker recognition}, the task of accurately attributing each spoken utterance to its respective character. In this paper, we advance this field through two primary contributions. (1) We introduce \textbf{DramaSR-532K}, a large-scale benchmark comprising 532K annotated dialogue lines across more than 900 unique characters, necessitating the integration of auditory, linguistic, and visual cues for speaker recognition. (2) We propose \textbf{DramaSR-LRM}, a robust approach built upon a large reasoning model (LRM). DramaSR-LRM is designed to autonomously aggregate contextual evidence via multimodal tool-use, synthesizing diverse inputs to achieve high-fidelity attribution. Experimental results demonstrate that DramaSR-LRM significantly outperforms existing baselines, particularly on short utterances where acoustic biometrics are inherently unreliable. \textit{All the data and code will be made publicly available at the project page: https://www.github.com/198808xc/DramaSR-LRM.}

LACUNA: A Testbed for Evaluating Localization Precision for LLM Unlearning

LACUNA:评估大规模语言模型去学习定位精度的测试平台
Boglioni, Matteo, Rousset, Thibault, Reddy, Siva, Mosbach, Marius, Dankers, Verna
Abstract
LLMs memorize sensitive training data, including personally identifiable information (PII), creating a pressing need for reliable post hoc removal methods. Unlearning has emerged as a promising solution, with state-of-the-art(SOTA) methods often following a localize-first, unlearn-second paradigm that targets specific model parameters. However, existing benchmarks evaluate unlearning solely at the output level, leaving open the question of whether unlearning truly erases knowledge from a model's parameters or merely obfuscates it, a concern reinforced by the success of resurfacing attacks. To bridge this gap, we introduce LACUNA: the first unlearning testbed with ground-truth parameter-level localization. LACUNA injects PII of synthetic individuals into predefined parameters of 1B and 7B OLMo-based models via masked continual pretraining, enabling direct evaluation of whether unlearning targets the weights responsible for knowledge storage. We use LACUNA to benchmark current SOTA unlearning methods and find that, despite strong output-level performance, existing methods are highly imprecise and susceptible to resurfacing attacks. We further show that when localization is successful, even a simple gradient-based unlearning method achieves strong erasure and robustness to resurfacing attacks, highlighting the importance of precise unlearning. We release LACUNA to complement behavioral evaluations and drive further advances in robust, localization-based unlearning.

大规模语言模型(LLMs)会记忆敏感的训练数据,包括个人可识别信息(PII),因此迫切需要可靠的事后删除方法。去学习作为一种有前景的解决方案应运而生,当前的最先进(SOTA)方法通常遵循先定位、后去学习的范式,针对特定的模型参数。然而,现有基准仅在输出层面评估去学习,未能解答去学习是否真正从模型参数中抹去知识,还是仅仅使其模糊化,这一问题因复现攻击的成功而愈加突出。为了解决这一问题,我们引入了LACUNA:第一个具有真实参数级别定位的去学习测试平台。LACUNA通过掩蔽持续预训练将合成个体的PII注入到1B和7B OLMo基础模型的预定义参数中,从而直接评估去学习是否针对负责知识存储的权重。我们利用LACUNA对当前的SOTA去学习方法进行基准测试,发现尽管输出层面表现强劲,但现有方法的精确度极低,且容易受到复现攻击的影响。我们进一步表明,当定位成功时,即使是简单的基于梯度的去学习方法也能实现强有力的抹除效果,并对复现攻击具有较强的鲁棒性,强调了精确去学习的重要性。我们发布LACUNA,以补充行为评估并推动基于定位的鲁棒去学习的进一步发展。
