Autonomous UAV Route Planning for Coverage Maximization in Environmental Monitoring: A Systematic Literature Review

用于环境监测的自主无人机路线规划以最大化覆盖范围:系统文献综述
Jouannet-Contreras, Sebastian, Figueroa-Flores, Carola
Abstract
Environmental monitoring with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires route planning methods that maximize covered area while handling energy limits, operational constraints, and geometric complexity. This paper reports the protocol and preliminary results of an ongoing systematic literature review (SLR) on autonomous UAV route planning for coverage-oriented environmental monitoring. The review follows the PRISMA 2020 framework and searches Scopus and Web of Science for studies published between 2015 and 2026. The protocol focuses on path planning, coverage path planning, and informative path planning, with emphasis on algorithmic families, coverage and energy metrics, obstacle handling, geometric environment representations, and environmental constraints. At the current stage, 562 records have been identified, 161 duplicates have been removed, and 401 unique records have been screened by title, abstract, and keywords. From these, 247 studies were retained for full-text eligibility assessment (235 eligible and 12 borderline records to be resolved during full-text review). A preliminary analysis of the retained studies suggests strong concentration on coverage-oriented formulations, multi-UAV coordination, and energy-aware optimization, while fewer studies explicitly address weather, uncertainty, or obstacle-rich environments. Most retained studies rely on simulation-based validation, highlighting a potential simulation-to-reality gap, and recent publications show increasing interest in reinforcement learning, hybrid optimization, and geometry-aware planning. These early findings indicate an active but fragmented research landscape and support the need for a structured synthesis to identify mature techniques and unresolved gaps for realistic environmental monitoring missions.

HRIBench: Benchmarking Interaction-Centric Human-Robot Collaboration

HRIBench:以交互为中心的人机协作基准测试
Liu, Chang, Zhang, Jiawei, Zhang, Tao, Wang, Ye, Zhou, Hongyu, Jin, Qin
Abstract
Current vision-language-action (VLA) benchmarks primarily evaluate isolated manipulation skills while leaving human-robot interaction structure largely unmodeled. However, real-world collaboration fundamentally requires coordination under shared agency, including intent understanding, temporal synchronization, protocol adherence, and safe interaction in dynamic environments. To address this gap, we introduce HRIBench, a diagnostic benchmark for intent-aware human-robot collaboration based on executable interaction scenarios. HRIBench represents collaborative tasks as structured scenario scripts that explicitly model agent roles, temporal dependencies, coordination constraints, and human behavior distributions. Building on this abstraction, HRIBench defines three representative interaction roles: Instructor, Collaborator, and Intruder, covering intent communication, joint coordination, and robustness under human intervention. The benchmark contains 13 role-conditioned tasks with over 650 evaluation episodes generated from diverse interaction trajectories and scene variations. Beyond binary task success, HRIBench introduces interpretable interaction-centric metrics spanning synchronization, responsiveness, protocol compliance, and safety. We evaluate adapted policies based on GR00T, pi0.5, and ACT under a unified protocol. Results show that current foundation robot policies struggle substantially in collaborative settings despite strong manipulation ability, revealing major limitations in temporal coordination and intent-aware behavior. Fine-tuning on HRIBench consistently improves collaborative performance. In a real-world adaptation study, simulation data generated by HRIBench improves GR00T N1.5's physical-task success rate from 0.10 to 0.43, demonstrating the benchmark's value for advancing interaction-centric robot learning.

当前的视觉-语言-动作(VLA)基准主要评估孤立的操作技能,而在人机交互结构方面则缺乏建模。然而,现实世界的协作根本上需要在共享代理下进行协调,包括意图理解、时间同步、协议遵循以及在动态环境中的安全交互。为了解决这一问题,我们引入了HRIBench,这是一个基于可执行交互场景的意图感知人机协作的诊断基准。HRIBench将协作任务表示为结构化场景脚本,明确建模代理角色、时间依赖性、协调约束和人类行为分布。在此抽象基础上,HRIBench定义了三种代表性的交互角色:指导者(Instructor)、合作者(Collaborator)和入侵者(Intruder),涵盖意图沟通、联合协调和在人工干预下的鲁棒性。该基准包含13个角色条件任务,生成了650多个评估回合,来自多样的交互轨迹和场景变体。除了二元任务成功率外,HRIBench还引入了可解释的以交互为中心的指标,涵盖同步性、响应性、协议遵循和安全性。我们在统一协议下评估了基于GR00T、pi0.5和ACT的适应性策略。结果表明,尽管当前基础机器人策略在操作能力上表现强劲,但在协作环境中却面临重大挑战,揭示了时间协调和意图感知行为的主要局限性。在HRIBench上进行微调始终能改善协作表现。在一项现实世界的适应性研究中,由HRIBench生成的模拟数据将GR00T N1.5的物理任务成功率从0.10提高到0.43,展示了该基准在推动以交互为中心的机器人学习方面的价值。

Power from Potential: A Survey of Electrostatic Actuators for Haptics

潜力中的动力:触觉电动执行器的综述
Rauf, Ahad M., Zhou, Ran, Acome, Eric, Balaam, Madeline, Follmer, Sean, Han, Teng, Shultz, Craig, Leithinger, Daniel
Abstract
As haptic interfaces integrate more seamlessly into wearables and everyday environments, they increasingly require actuators that are soft, thin, silent, and energy efficient. However, conventional motors and temperature-responsive polymers often struggle to deliver these properties due to their bulky form factors and high power consumption. High-Voltage Electrostatic Actuators (HVEAs), which generate force by applying an electric field to localized charge concentrations using high voltages and ultra-low currents, have recently emerged as a compelling alternative due to their fast, silent, and low-power operation within highly customizable and compliant form factors. This paper presents a focused review of HVEAs for haptics, examining four major classes: electrostatic switchable adhesives, dielectric elastomer actuators, soft electrohydraulic actuators, and electrokinetic pumps. For each class, we describe their mechanisms that enable haptic output; characterize their bandwidths, force densities, and spatial scalability; and evaluate their versatility for rendering cutaneous and kinesthetic feedback across wearable and world-grounded interfaces. Through this cross-technology analysis, we identify common design constraints and emerging strategies for improving ergonomics, streamlining fabrication, and integrating self-sensing. We conclude by outlining where HVEAs are uniquely positioned to advance haptic interaction and highlighting key research directions needed to translate these technologies into practical systems.

随着触觉接口在可穿戴设备和日常环境中的无缝集成,它们越来越需要柔软、薄型、安静且能效高的执行器。然而,传统电机和温度响应聚合物由于其笨重的形态和高能耗,往往难以满足这些要求。高电压静电执行器(High-Voltage Electrostatic Actuators, HVEAs)通过施加电场于局部电荷浓度,利用高电压和超低电流产生力,近年来作为一种引人注目的替代方案出现,因为它们在高度可定制和柔性形态下实现快速、安静和低功耗的操作。本文对HVEAs在触觉领域的应用进行了集中综述,考察了四大类:静电可切换粘合剂、介电弹性体执行器、软电液执行器和电动泵。对于每一类,我们描述了其实现触觉输出的机制;表征了其带宽、力密度和空间可扩展性;并评估了它们在可穿戴设备和与现实环境交互的接口中呈现皮肤感知和运动感知反馈的多样性。通过这种跨技术分析,我们识别了共同的设计约束和新兴策略,以改善人体工程学、简化制造过程和集成自感知功能。最后,我们概述了HVEAs在推动触觉交互方面的独特定位,并强调了将这些技术转化为实际系统所需的关键研究方向。

GPUSimBench: Towards Scalable and Reliable GPU-Accelerated Simulators in Embodied AI

GPUSimBench:迈向可扩展和可靠的GPU加速模拟器在具身人工智能中的应用
Zhang, Huzhenyu, Yuan, Shenghai, Yan, Wenrui, Ma, Li, Li, Hengjie, Pang, Jingcheng, Yudin, Dmitry
Abstract
Data-driven embodied AI is rapidly transitioning into a paradigm that scales training through massively parallel simulation, where GPU-accelerated simulators serve as the foundational data infrastructure. However, as computational throughput scales, the underlying trade-offs between parallel efficiency, physical fidelity, and execution determinism remain largely unexamined, hindering the development of reliable robot learning. In this paper, we expose the hidden limits of mainstream GPU-based robotic simulators (e.g., Isaac Lab, Genesis) by introducing GPUSimBench, which focuses on scalability, physical consistency, and computational determinism. First, GPUSimBench establishes a physical grounding evaluation with a controlled inclined-plane task, quantifying the distributional alignment between simulated dynamics and their real-world counterparts. Second, we benchmark parallel scalability by measuring throughput and memory footprints across scaling environment counts. Crucially, beyond standard performance metrics, we unveil and quantify the inherent non-determinism introduced by GPU-batched execution, characterized by significant run-to-run and inter-environment variability even under identical initial conditions. Finally, we identify four empirical regimes of stochasticity within current simulator stacks, highlighting that unbounded scaling can compromise reproducibility without explicit constraints.

A Bayesian framework for the uncanny valley in humanoid robot design

人形机器人设计中的贝叶斯框架与不安的谷底
Honda, Shimon, Shibano, Rin, Yanagisawa, Hideyoshi
Abstract
The uncanny valley is a long-standing empirical rule in humanoid robot design: making robots more human-like can reduce, rather than increase, affinity. Yet existing guidelines, such as adopting robot-like appearances, avoiding excessive realism, and reducing cross-modal mismatches, remain difficult to use for algorithmic design because they are not expressed as manipulable variables. Here, we propose a hierarchical Bayesian generative model that operationalizes these guidelines as mathematical design variables. The model represents affinity toward humanoid robots as posterior-weighted negative category-conditional surprise and explains category ambiguity and perceptual mismatch as increases in surprise. It maps uncanny-valley mechanisms onto four variables: deviation from the predicted robot-category mean, inconsistency in human likeness across modalities, prediction uncertainty, and observational uncertainty. Simulations showed that category ambiguity and appearance--motion mismatch can produce affinity reductions, and that uncertainty reshapes the valley. In a human-subject experiment with robot--human morphing images, we manipulated prediction uncertainty using blurred prior robot stimuli and observational uncertainty using blurred evaluation stimuli. Increased observational uncertainty attenuated the decrease in familiarity ratings at intermediate human likeness, whereas low prediction uncertainty increased ratings for robot-like appearances. This framework turns empirical uncanny-valley heuristics into a computational basis for algorithmically evaluating and optimizing humanoid robot appearance and behavior.

不安的谷底是人形机器人设计中的一条长期存在的经验法则:使机器人更具人类特征可能会减少而不是增加亲和力。然而,现有的指导原则,如采用机器人外观、避免过度逼真和减少跨模态不匹配,因未以可操作变量的形式表达而难以用于算法设计。在此,我们提出了一种分层贝叶斯生成模型,将这些指导原则操作化为数学设计变量。该模型将对人形机器人的亲和力表示为后验加权的负类别条件惊讶,并将类别模糊性和感知不匹配解释为惊讶的增加。它将不安的谷底机制映射到四个变量上:偏离预测的机器人类别均值、跨模态的人类相似性不一致性、预测不确定性和观察不确定性。模拟结果表明,类别模糊性和外观-运动不匹配可以导致亲和力降低,而不确定性则重塑了谷底。在一项涉及机器人-人类变形图像的人类受试者实验中,我们通过模糊的先前机器人刺激操控预测不确定性,并通过模糊的评估刺激操控观察不确定性。增加的观察不确定性减轻了在中等人类相似性下熟悉度评分的下降,而低预测不确定性则提高了对机器人外观的评分。该框架将经验性的不安谷底启发式转化为一种计算基础,以算法方式评估和优化人形机器人的外观和行为。

A 3DGS-Driven Dynamic Viewpoint and Vibrotactile Framework for Subsea Teleoperation Validated via fNIRS

基于3DGS的动态视角与振动触觉框架用于水下遥操作的验证研究
Xu, Fang, Zhou, Tianyu, Tian, Ruitong, Islam, Md Jahidul, Du, Jing
Abstract
Teleoperating remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) in flooded, cluttered infrastructure is fundamentally limited by narrow 2D egocentric views and subsea communication latency. We present a multimodal teleoperation architecture built on a ROS-Unity framework that decouples proactive spatial planning from reactive boundary avoidance. The system replaces static camera feeds with a Dynamic Adaptive Viewpoint System (DAVS), which uses continuous optimization and real-time 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to synthesize an occlusion-free exocentric viewpoint from onboard state estimation. To further reduce sensory workload, a torso-mounted vibrotactile suit maps local obstacle clearance to intuitive haptic proximity cues. The architecture was evaluated in a controlled human-subject study (N = 30) using a BlueROV2 navigating a complex simulated underwater facility. A 3 x 4 repeated-measures design compared three interaction modalities (Egocentric, Haptic, Exocentric) under four communication delays (0.0-1.0 s). Performance was quantified using behavioral measures and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to assess task-evoked prefrontal activation. Results show that reactive haptic feedback improves path adherence under minimal delay, whereas the 3DGS-driven exocentric visualization provides superior resilience under severe latency (0.5-1.0 s), significantly outperforming the other modalities. fNIRS further revealed a cognitive disengagement effect: increasing latency during conventional egocentric teleoperation overloaded working memory and reduced prefrontal activation, whereas the proactive spatial context provided by DAVS sustained executive control. These findings demonstrate that spatially grounded, multimodal assistance can substantially improve operator performance and cognitive endurance during latency-degraded underwater teleoperation.

在被淹没且杂乱的基础设施中遥控操作远程操作车辆(ROVs)受到狭窄的二维自我中心视角和水下通信延迟的根本限制。我们提出了一种基于ROS-Unity框架的多模态遥操作架构,该架构将主动空间规划与反应性边界规避解耦。该系统用动态自适应视角系统(DAVS)替代静态摄像头视频流,该系统利用连续优化和实时三维高斯点云(3DGS)从车载状态估计合成无遮挡的外部视角。为了进一步减少感官负担,安装在躯干上的振动触觉套装将局部障碍物清除映射为直观的触觉接近提示。该架构在一项受控的人体实验研究中进行了评估(N = 30),使用BlueROV2在复杂的模拟水下设施中导航。采用3 x 4重复测量设计比较了三种交互模式(自我中心、触觉、外部中心)在四种通信延迟(0.0-1.0秒)下的表现。通过行为测量和功能近红外光谱(fNIRS)量化性能,以评估任务引发的前额叶激活。结果表明,在最小延迟下,反应性触觉反馈改善了路径遵循,而基于3DGS的外部中心可视化在严重延迟(0.5-1.0秒)下提供了更优的韧性,显著优于其他模式。fNIRS进一步揭示了认知脱离效应:在传统自我中心遥操作中,延迟的增加使工作记忆超负荷并降低了前额叶激活,而DAVS提供的主动空间上下文维持了执行控制。这些发现表明,基于空间的多模态辅助可以显著改善操作员在延迟降低的水下遥操作中的表现和认知耐力。

HRO: Hierarchical Room-to-Object Framework for Zero-Shot Object Goal Navigation with Large Language Models

HRO:用于零-shot目标物体导航的大语言模型分层房间到物体框架
Jia, Luyuan, Yu, Yinfeng
Abstract
Zero-shot object-goal navigation aims to enable an intelligent agent to explore and navigate to objects of unknown categories in an unfamiliar environment without specific target training. In zero-shot navigation tasks, pre-trained large models are usually employed to leverage their prior knowledge for guiding the agent's navigation. However, existing zero-shot object-goal navigation methods based on large language models (LLMs) merely utilize LLMs as flat reasoning tools to directly associate objects or regions. They lack the hierarchical spatial cognition modeling of human-like room semantics to object localization, which leads to strong blindness in exploration, insufficient accuracy in semantic association, and failure to fully unleash the common-sense reasoning potential of LLMs. This paper proposes an LLM-driven hierarchical room-to-object (HRO) framework for zero-shot object-goal navigation, which guides the agent to explore and navigate to the target object in a coarse-to-fine manner. Experiments on Gibson and HM3D datasets verify that our HRO framework achieves superior success rate and generalization over existing LLM-based methods, underscoring LLMs' strong potential for zero-shot object-goal navigation.

Worlds in One Demo: A Synthetic Data Engine for Learning Open-World Mobile Manipulation

一演示中的多个世界:用于学习开放世界移动操作的合成数据引擎
Guo, Lingxiao, Li, Huanyu, Shi, Guanya
Abstract
Learning open-world mobile manipulation policies requires vast data to achieve spatial generalization, long-horizon robustness, and scene generalization. Current prevailing data collection paradigms, teleoperation and UMI, demand prohibitive human effort and cost at scale. To scale beyond the limits of manual data collection, we seek to maximize the value of each human demonstration by scalable data generation. To this end, we introduce WANDA: learning open-World mobile mANipulation from one demonstration via a synthetic DAta engine. WANDA first reconstructs background Gaussian splats and robot-object interaction trajectories from source RGBD observations, as a world substrate for later planning and rendering. It then rearranges contact-rich robot-object interaction segments into extensive spatial configurations, utilizing whole-body motion planning to chain them into new trajectories. To enhance long-horizon robustness, it applies Corrective State Expansion to increase the robot and object state diversity at different stages of mobile manipulation. To unlock cross-environment generalization, trajectories are synthesized on diverse generated 3D worlds from everyday photos. Furthermore, we synthesize photo-realistic observations by compositing rendered robot and object meshes with Gaussian splatting backgrounds. We evaluate our approach on extensive simulation and real-world tasks in various scenes. Experiments show that policies trained with WANDA achieve long-horizon robustness, broad spatial generalization and cross-environment generalization from one real demonstration. Moreover, WANDA naturally supports cross-embodiment data generation, validated by zero-shot deployment on another mobile manipulator with a distinct morphology.

学习开放世界移动操作策略需要大量数据,以实现空间泛化、长时间鲁棒性和场景泛化。目前主流的数据收集范式,如遥操作和用户主导的交互(UMI),在规模上需要巨大的人工努力和成本。为了超越手动数据收集的限制,我们寻求通过可扩展的数据生成来最大化每个人工演示的价值。为此,我们提出了WANDA:通过合成数据引擎从一次演示中学习开放世界移动操作。WANDA首先从源RGBD观测中重建背景高斯点云和机器人-物体交互轨迹,作为后续规划和渲染的世界基础。然后,它将富含接触的机器人-物体交互片段重新排列成广泛的空间配置,利用全身运动规划将其链接成新的轨迹。为了增强长时间鲁棒性,它应用了纠正状态扩展(Corrective State Expansion),以在移动操作的不同阶段增加机器人和物体状态的多样性。为了实现跨环境泛化,轨迹是在从日常照片生成的多样化3D世界上合成的。此外,我们通过将渲染的机器人和物体网格与高斯点云背景合成,合成了照片级真实感的观测。我们在各种场景中的广泛模拟和现实任务上评估了我们的方法。实验表明,使用WANDA训练的策略能够实现长时间鲁棒性、广泛的空间泛化和来自一次真实演示的跨环境泛化。此外,WANDA自然支持跨体现数据生成,通过在另一种形态的移动操作器上进行零样本部署得到了验证。

Attitude Estimation Using Inertial and Barometric Measurements

基于惯性和气压测量的姿态估计
Tchonkeu, Melone Nyoba, Berkane, Soulaimane, Hamel, Tarek
Abstract
Accurate and robust attitude estimation is a key challenge for autonomous vehicles, particularly in GNSS-denied conditions and during highly accelerated flight. In such conditions, Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) alone are insufficient for reliable tilt estimation due to the ambiguity between gravitational and inertial accelerations. Although auxiliary velocity sensors such as GNSS, Pitot tubes, Doppler radar, or Visual Inertial Odometry are commonly used, they may be unavailable, intermittent, or costly. This paper introduces a barometer-aided attitude estimation architecture that exploits barometric altitude measurements to provide complementary information on the vehicle's vertical motion, thereby enhancing attitude estimation within nonlinear observers on SO(3). The contributions are twofold. First, we design a deterministic Riccati observer cascaded with a complementary filter, ensuring almost-global asymptotic stability (AGAS) under a uniform observability (UO) condition while preserving the geometric structure of the attitude dynamics. Second, we propose a nonlinear observer evolving on SO(3)xR2, which integrates IMU measurements as inputs and barometer and magnetometer measurements as outputs within a unified framework, guaranteeing local exponential stability (LES) under relaxed uniform observability conditions. The proposed approaches are validated using both simulated and real flight data. The results demonstrate that barometer-aided estimation provides a lightweight, reliable, and effective complementary sensing modality for attitude estimation in minimal-sensing configurations, offering a practical alternative when conventional velocity measurements are unavailable or degraded.

准确且稳健的姿态估计是自主车辆面临的一个关键挑战,特别是在全球导航卫星系统(GNSS)信号缺失的情况下以及在高度加速的飞行过程中。在这些条件下,单独依靠惯性测量单元(IMUs)进行可靠的倾斜估计是不够的,因为重力加速度和惯性加速度之间存在模糊性。尽管常用的辅助速度传感器如GNSS、皮托管、杜普勒雷达或视觉惯性里程计可能会被使用,但它们可能不可用、间歇性或成本高昂。本文提出了一种气压辅助的姿态估计架构,利用气压高度测量提供关于车辆垂直运动的补充信息,从而在SO(3)上的非线性观测器中增强姿态估计。贡献主要有两方面。首先,我们设计了一种确定性的Riccati观测器,与互补滤波器级联,确保在统一可观测性(UO)条件下几乎全局渐近稳定性(AGAS),同时保持姿态动力学的几何结构。其次,我们提出了一种在SO(3)xR2上演化的非线性观测器,该观测器将IMU测量作为输入,将气压计和磁力计测量作为输出,整合在一个统一框架内,保证在放宽的统一可观测性条件下的局部指数稳定性(LES)。所提出的方法通过模拟和真实飞行数据进行了验证。结果表明,气压辅助的估计为在最小传感配置下的姿态估计提供了一种轻量、可靠且有效的补充传感方式,为在传统速度测量不可用或退化时提供了一个实用的替代方案。

Parsimonious disturbance-aware minimum-time planning with parametric uncertainty

考虑扰动的简约最小时间规划与参数不确定性
Gulisano, Martino, Masoni, Matteo, Gabiccini, Marco
Abstract
This study presents and validates a minimum-lap-time planning (MLTP) framework for motorsport applications that embeds robustness against both state disturbances and parameter uncertainty. The methodology builds upon a prior disturbance-aware framework that, at each track point, propagates stochastic vehicle dynamics over a short horizon and tightens tyre-friction constraints based on the worst-case scenario at horizon end. We extend the formulation to account for uncertainty in key vehicle parameters: moment of inertia, centre-of-mass position, and aerodynamic drag coefficient. To keep the extended formulation computationally tractable, a spatially selective, parsimonious activation strategy confines the robust constraints to the circuit segments where they are most critical. We demonstrate the improved driveability of the robust references by employing a model predictive controller (MPC) as a virtual test driver. For each reference, the same MPC drives a simulated FSAE (Formula SAE) car over 1000 runs on a representative Barcelona-Catalunya sector, with randomly realised impulsive disturbances and parameter scatter. We compare a nominal reference, planned without robustness, against its robust counterparts. The latter yield consistently fewer failed runs and, at a moderate sector-time cost, show tighter dispersion of key signals (vehicle inputs, axle saturations) around the reference values, evidence of better trackability.

Adapting Generalist Vehicle Models for High-Speed MPC Across Terrains

适应通用车辆模型以实现跨越不同地形的高速模型预测控制
Rana, Rwik, Quattrociocchi, Jesse, Ellis, Christian, Tsoi, Nathan, Warnell, Garrett, Biswas, Joydeep
Abstract
High-speed off-road autonomy requires precise closed-loop control for a target vehicle while remaining robust across changing terrains. Recent forward kinodynamic (FKD) prediction foundation models suggest a promising path, starting from a generalist model and specializing it to the target platform. However, effective specialization remains challenging, as it often requires substantial real-world data, and models adapted to one setting can still overfit to specific terrains or driving regimes. We present OptCar (Optimized Car), a recipe for bridging the gap from generalist to specialist FKD models that preserves cross-terrain generalization while optimizing performance for a specific vehicle. $\texttt{OptCar}$ introduces a history-conditioned dynamics adaptation module that encodes recent state-action observations into a dynamics context token, and then fine-tunes the generalist model using limited real-world data together with targeted synthetic rollouts from environment-specific system identification. In closed-loop model predictive control (MPC) experiments across three terrains and an out-of-distribution cart-pulling task, the largest gains appear at 6~m/s, the highest speed evaluated and the regime in which slip dominates tracking error. On vegetation and dirt, the most slip-diverse terrain, OptCar reduces 6~m/s trajectory tracking error by roughly 55% relative to a fine-tuned AnyCar baseline, and remains the most accurate even when an unseen cart payload changes the dynamics. With only 5 minutes of real data per terrain, OptCar is competitive on road with a specialist trained on 30 minutes of road data, and substantially outperforms it once the terrain changes.

高速越野自主驾驶需要对目标车辆进行精确的闭环控制,同时在变化的地形中保持稳健性。最近的前向运动动力学(FKD)预测基础模型提出了一条有前景的路径,从通用模型出发,专门化到目标平台。然而,有效的专门化仍然具有挑战性,因为这通常需要大量的真实世界数据,并且适应于一种设置的模型仍可能过拟合于特定地形或驾驶模式。我们提出了OptCar(优化车辆),这是一种弥合通用与专用FKD模型之间差距的方法,既保持跨地形的泛化能力,又优化特定车辆的性能。$ exttt{OptCar}$引入了一种基于历史的动态适应模块,该模块将最近的状态-动作观测编码为动态上下文标记,然后利用有限的真实世界数据和来自环境特定系统识别的目标合成滚动数据对通用模型进行微调。在三个地形和一个超出分布的推车任务的闭环模型预测控制(MPC)实验中,最大的增益出现在6~m/s,这是评估的最高速度,也是滑移主导跟踪误差的模式。在植被和泥土这两种滑移多样性最大的地形上,OptCar将6~m/s的轨迹跟踪误差相对于微调的AnyCar基线减少了约55%,即使在未见的推车负载改变动态的情况下,仍保持最高的准确性。仅用每个地形5分钟的真实数据,OptCar在道路上与经过30分钟道路数据训练的专用模型竞争,一旦地形发生变化,其表现则显著优于该专用模型。

Design and Characterization of a Limb Encircling Actuator

肢体环绕驱动器的设计与表征
Gill, Japmanjeet Singh, Thomas, Gray Cortright, Van Crey, Nikko, Medrano, Roberto Leo, Rouse, Elliott J.
Abstract
Lower-limb powered exoskeletons have demonstrated substantial improvements in mobility and function, but most designs place actuation components lateral to the legs or remotely at the waist or back. These configurations often extend beyond the body's natural envelope, making devices intrusive in everyday use and potentially limiting societal adoption. We posit that rethinking actuation geometry could enable exoskeletons that conform more closely to the body. Here, we explored an actuation layout in which the actuator encircles the limb in a plane orthogonal to the limb axis, potentially reducing its spatial footprint around the body. We developed the Limb-Encircling Actuator (LEA) and characterized its electromechanical properties using a custom-built testbed. The LEA also features a novel radial bearing layout with potential as a lightweight or lower-cost alternative to traditional large-diameter bearings. The actuator achieved a continuous torque density of 7.5 Nm/kg with a mass of 894 g. Despite this high torque density and innovative layout, the system remained difficult to contain close to the body. These results highlight opportunities and challenges in limb-encircling actuation and provide insights into torque-dense exoskeleton designs that could integrate more readily into everyday apparel if challenges in actuator sizing and geometry are overcome.

Safe Overtaking for Autonomous Racing Using Hierarchical Optimization and Learning-Based Control

基于层次优化和学习控制的自主赛车安全超车
Jardali, Hassan, Yin, Kai, Liu, Lantao
Abstract
Autonomous racing overtaking requires balancing competitive performance with safety under nonlinear vehicle dynamics and real-time constraints. Model Predictive Control (MPC) combined with Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) provides a principled mechanism for certifying forward invariance of a safe set. However, commonly used fixed-decay discrete-time CBF formulations can become overly conservative in interactive racing scenarios, limiting overtaking performance and requiring manual tuning across track conditions. This paper proposes a hierarchical overtaking framework that explicitly separates maneuver-level decision making from safety-certified trajectory control, reducing conservatism while preserving safety. A high-level Mixed-Integer Quadratic Program (MIQP) resolves the combinatorial passing-side selection problem by selecting a feasible overtaking topology, while a nonlinear Frenet-frame MPC enforces vehicle dynamics and safety through embedded discrete-time CBF constraints. This decomposition isolates the combinatorial complexity of maneuver selection from the continuous trajectory optimization. To further mitigate the sensitivity of fixed-decay barrier constraints, a reinforcement learning policy adapts the discrete-time CBF decay parameter online, enabling context-dependent modulation of safety margins without directly controlling vehicle inputs. Simulation and scaled-hardware experiments show that no single fixed decay parameter achieves uniformly strong performance across tracks, whereas the adaptive strategy attains the highest aggregate success rate and consistently strong safety--performance trade-offs without per-track tuning, improving robustness to environment variation while maintaining safety constraint satisfaction in nominal operation.

自主赛车超车需要在非线性车辆动力学和实时约束下平衡竞争性能与安全性。模型预测控制(Model Predictive Control, MPC)结合控制屏障函数(Control Barrier Functions, CBFs)为验证安全集的前向不变性提供了一种原则性机制。然而,常用的固定衰减离散时间CBF公式在交互式赛车场景中可能变得过于保守,从而限制超车性能,并需要在不同赛道条件下进行手动调节。本文提出了一种层次化超车框架,明确将机动级决策与安全认证轨迹控制分开,减少保守性同时保持安全性。高层次的混合整数二次规划(Mixed-Integer Quadratic Program, MIQP)通过选择可行的超车拓扑来解决组合性超车侧选择问题,而非线性Frenet框架MPC则通过嵌入的离散时间CBF约束来强制执行车辆动力学和安全性。这种分解将机动选择的组合复杂性与连续轨迹优化隔离开来。为了进一步减轻固定衰减屏障约束的敏感性,强化学习策略在线调整离散时间CBF衰减参数,实现安全边际的上下文依赖调节,而无需直接控制车辆输入。仿真和缩放硬件实验表明,没有单一的固定衰减参数能够在各赛道上实现均匀强劲的性能,而自适应策略则在不需要逐赛道调节的情况下,获得了最高的整体成功率,并持续实现强大的安全性与性能权衡,提高了对环境变化的鲁棒性,同时在名义操作中保持了安全约束的满足。

A Hybrid Sampling-Based Trajectory Planner with Game-Theoretic Guidance for Autonomous Racing

一种基于混合采样的轨迹规划器,结合博弈论指导用于自主赛车
Langmann, Alexander, de Araujo, Frederico Pita, Piccinini, Mattia, Betz, Johannes
Abstract
Autonomous racing demands planning algorithms that balance vehicle dynamics at the limits of handling with strategic decision-making in competitive multi-agent scenarios. Game theory provides a mathematical framework for modeling these interactions, enabling interactive trajectory planning and strategic behaviors, such as blocking. However, directly solving full dynamic games online is computationally prohibitive and challenging to integrate into robust, high-frequency autonomous software stacks. This paper proposes a hybrid architecture that integrates game-theoretic reasoning into a sampling-based motion planner, combining strategic interactions with robust trajectory generation. Building upon an $\alpha$-potential game formulation, we utilize an offline-learned potential function to capture multi-agent interactions. During online operation, a gradient-based optimization dynamically refines interaction parameters to generate an \textit{Interaction Reference Path}. This path serves as a dynamic cost bias within a high-frequency sampling planner. We evaluate our approach in a high-fidelity simulation environment on the Yas Marina Circuit. Qualitative and quantitative results demonstrate that our approach successfully induces defensive behaviors like blocking without carrying the computational burden of full dynamic game solvers.

Min-Max Regret Task Allocation and Planning of Heterogeneous Multi-Robot System in Partially Known Environments

部分已知环境中异构多机器人系统的最小-最大遗憾任务分配与规划
Liang, Xinkai, Chan, Huixuan, Liu, Ying, Shi, Yangxi, Fang, Hao
Abstract
Efficient task allocation for large-scale Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Systems (HMRS) is critical, yet dealing with complex temporal logic tasks in partially known environment (PKE) remains a computational bottleneck. Existing approaches often struggle to balance exploring uncertain regions and exploiting known resources, while also suffering from exponential computational complexity. To address these issues, this paper presents a robust planning framework that simultaneously handles high-level logical constraints and environmental uncertainty without sacrificing scalability. We formulate the problem as a min-max regret optimization, proposing a Region-Binding Atomic Proposition (RbAP) to capture resource uncertainty within the automaton structure. To solve this, we propose the Extended Planning Decision Tree (E-PDT) equipped with a novel Regret-based Branch-and-Bound (BnB) strategy. Unlike traditional methods that rely on prior probabilities or worst-case analysis, our approach dynamically prunes suboptimal policies, effectively balancing the need for information gathering (exploration) and task completion (exploitation). Theoretical analysis confirms the feasibility and completeness of our approach. Extensive numerical and physical experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves near-linear scalability with respect to the number of robots and types, significantly outperforming MILP-based baselines in both solution quality and computational efficiency.

WNOJ-LIO: A White-Noise-on-Jerk Motion-Prior EKF for High-Dynamic LiDAR-IMU Fusion

WNOJ-LIO:一种基于白噪声-加速度变化运动先验的高动态激光雷达-惯性测量单元融合扩展卡尔曼滤波器
Lyu, Junning, Guo, Qizhi, Ning, Xia, Song, Tao, He, Shaoming
Abstract
LiDAR-inertial odometry (LIO) is a key component of autonomous navigation, but high-dynamic driving exposes two coupled challenges: intra-scan motion distortion and vibration-contaminated inertial measurements. Most real-time LiDAR-inertial pipelines propagate the system state by integrating raw IMU measurements and then use the propagated trajectory for point cloud de-distortion, thereby propagating inertial noise into both the corrected scan and the subsequent scan-to-map registration. This paper presents WNOJ-LIO, a LiDAR-IMU fusion framework based on a White-Noise-on-Jerk (WNOJ) Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). WNOJ-LIO employs a decoupled WNOJ prior on $\R^3 \times \SO(3)$ for state prediction and treats the IMU as a high-frequency measurement source rather than the driver of state propagation. The resulting posterior state history is then used for LiDAR scan de-distortion and subsequent point-to-plane LiDAR updates. The decoupled process model enables closed-form covariance propagation, thereby bridging the gap between batch WNOJ Gaussian process (GP) trajectory priors and recursive filtering. Simulation results demonstrate improvements in acceleration and angular-velocity denoising, scan de-distortion, and localization accuracy over a FAST-LIO-style baseline. Real-world experiments were conducted using an autonomous racing car on four driving segments with maximum speeds ranging from 53 to 208~km/h, covering a wide range of vehicle vibration levels. The experiments further validate the proposed method and provide a comprehensive evaluation of its performance in estimating acceleration, angular velocity, body-frame linear velocity, attitude, and position under highly dynamic driving. The source code of WNOJ-LIO is publicly available at https://github.com/LvJohny/wnoj-ekf-lio.git.

激光雷达惯性里程计(LIO)是自主导航的关键组成部分,但高动态驾驶带来了两个相互关联的挑战:扫描内运动失真和振动污染的惯性测量。大多数实时激光雷达-惯性管道通过整合原始惯性测量单元(IMU)测量值来传播系统状态,然后使用传播的轨迹进行点云去失真,从而将惯性噪声传播到校正后的扫描和后续的扫描与地图配准中。本文提出了WNOJ-LIO,一种基于白噪声-加速度变化(WNOJ)扩展卡尔曼滤波器(EKF)的激光雷达-IMU融合框架。WNOJ-LIO在$ ext{R}^3 imes ext{SO}(3)$上采用解耦的WNOJ先验进行状态预测,并将IMU视为高频测量源,而非状态传播的驱动因素。由此得到的后验状态历史用于激光雷达扫描去失真和后续的点对平面激光雷达更新。解耦的过程模型实现了闭式形式的协方差传播,从而弥合了批处理WNOJ高斯过程(GP)轨迹先验与递归滤波之间的差距。仿真结果表明,与FAST-LIO风格基线相比,在加速度和角速度去噪、扫描去失真和定位精度方面都有所改善。通过使用一辆自主赛车在四个驾驶段进行的实地实验,最大速度范围从53到208 km/h,覆盖了广泛的车辆振动水平。这些实验进一步验证了所提出的方法,并全面评估了其在高动态驾驶下估计加速度、角速度、机体坐标系线速度、姿态和位置的性能。WNOJ-LIO的源代码已公开,地址为https://github.com/LvJohny/wnoj-ekf-lio.git。

Ego-Dynamics-Augmented World Model for Autonomous Driving with Zero-Shot Cross-Chassis Adaptation

增强自我动态的世界模型用于零样本跨底盘适应的自主驾驶
Wang, Zhidong, Liang, Jingsong, Li, Zirui, Chen, Zhan, Yu, Han, Lv, Chen
Abstract
World model (WM)-based reinforcement learning enables sample-efficient end-to-end autonomous driving learning by imagining long-horizon trajectories in latent space. However, most driving WMs operate on bird's-eye-view (BEV) representations that are inherently egocentric: the transition between consecutive frames entangles the ego vehicle's own motion with scene dynamics. As a result, the WM devotes significant capacity to recovering ego-motion from warped observations, at the cost of scene modeling fidelity and imagination accuracy. This work proposes DynaDreamer, a dynamics-augmented Dreamer-style reinforcement learning method to address this problem by augmenting the WM with an explicit ego-dynamics prior. A physics-informed ego-dynamics encoder-decoder extracts the ego-state history into a compact and identifiable context, which modulates a causal Transformer WM to condition both its prior and posterior latents. During imagination, the ego-dynamics predictor propagates this context forward to keep the ego-dynamics prior synchronized with the rollout. An information-theoretic analysis shows that conditioning on this context reduces both the predictive entropy of the observation transition and the prior--posterior Kullback--Leibler divergence, confining the WM's modeling burden to the scene dynamics beyond ego-motion. An additional benefit is zero-shot cross-chassis adaptation: the ego-dynamics context depends on identifiable chassis parameters, so that a vehicle with previously unseen dynamic characteristics can adapt the WM to the new chassis without retraining. Experiments demonstrate that DynaDreamer improves task success rates over the strongest baseline by 28% and 61% in urban and highway driving scenarios, respectively, with the advantage rising to 73% when extrapolating to unseen chassis.

基于世界模型(WM)的强化学习通过在潜在空间中想象长时间轨迹,实现了样本高效的端到端自主驾驶学习。然而,大多数驾驶WM操作于鸟瞰图(BEV)表示,这种表示本质上是自我中心的:连续帧之间的过渡将自我车辆的运动与场景动态纠缠在一起。因此,WM在从扭曲的观测中恢复自我运动方面投入了大量能力,牺牲了场景建模的保真度和想象的准确性。本研究提出了DynaDreamer,一种增强动态的Dreamer风格强化学习方法,通过用显式的自我动态先验增强WM来解决这一问题。一个物理信息驱动的自我动态编码器-解码器将自我状态历史提取为紧凑且可识别的上下文,调节因果Transformer WM以条件其先验和后验潜变量。在想象过程中,自我动态预测器向前传播该上下文,以保持自我动态先验与展开同步。信息论分析表明,基于该上下文的条件减少了观测过渡的预测熵和先验-后验Kullback-Leibler散度,将WM的建模负担限制在超出自我运动的场景动态上。另一个好处是零样本跨底盘适应:自我动态上下文依赖于可识别的底盘参数,因此具有先前未见动态特征的车辆可以在不重新训练的情况下将WM适应于新底盘。实验表明,DynaDreamer在城市和高速公路驾驶场景中,任务成功率分别比最强基线提高了28%和61%,当推广到未见底盘时,优势上升至73%。

Generalizable VLA Finetuning via Representation Anchoring and Language-Action Alignment

通过表示锚定和语言-动作对齐实现可泛化的视觉-语言-动作微调
Dalal, Dwip, Patel, Shivansh, Jain, Chahit, Kim, Jeonghwan, Mishra, Utkarsh, Baratian, Alex, Ha, Hyeonjeong, Ji, Heng, Lazebnik, Svetlana, Jain, Unnat
Abstract
Finetuning a pretrained vision-language model (VLM) on robot demonstrations via behavior cloning (BC) has become the standard recipe for vision-language-action (VLA) policies. However, BC finetuning progressively overwrites the pretrained representations that support visual and semantic generalization. Co-training on web image-text data, a common remedy, does not prevent this; it applies language and action losses to separate observations, leaving VLAs with language-action misalignment that standard manipulation benchmarks do not expose. We propose Anchor-Align, which augments BC with two objectives: Vision-Language Anchoring distills layer-wise representations from a frozen VLM copy to prevent this drift, while Language-Action Alignment converts each action target into a discrete motion-direction label and jointly trains language and action prediction on the same robot observation. On a physical xArm7 robot, across two widely used VLA architectures, Anchor-Align improves real-robot success on both (28% to 54% and 37% to 60%). At scale in simulation, we demonstrate consistent improvements on OOD perturbations, perceptual robustness, and long-horizon control across LIBERO-PRO, LIBERO-Plus, and CALVIN, respectively, suggesting that preserving pretrained representations and effective action learning are not fundamentally at odds.

Stress-Sharing: A Bio-Inspired Approach to Decentralized Fault Repair in Modular Spacecraft

应力共享:一种生物启发的模块化航天器去中心化故障修复方法
Sikka, Sidhdharth D., Shen, Yue, Mou, Shaoshuai
Abstract
Structural damage in modular spacecraft can disrupt mechanical and communication connectivity, reducing system capability. Existing approaches rely on redundancy or preplanned reconfiguration and do not enable autonomous repair under local information and physical constraints. We model the spacecraft as a lattice-constrained graph and introduce a fully decentralized, asynchronous stress-sharing repair policy inspired by biological wound healing: local distress signals guide surviving modules toward damaged regions to close fragmented gaps, after which each displaced module locally retraces its own motions to recover the pre-damage shape, using only local information and no absolute position sensing. We evaluate the policy in PyBullet rigid-body simulation across structures of up to 160 modules, three fault densities (10, 20, 30%), and random and localized damage. The policy consolidates the surviving modules into a single connected body: even in the most severe case tested, where 30% of modules fail at random, it gathers roughly 80% or more of the surviving modules into one connected component, and this fraction improves with assembly size, making the approach well suited as a swarm-scale repair policy for large modular spacecraft.

Abstract
Simulating deformable objects is essential for a wide range of robotic manipulation applications, yet accurately predicting their dynamics remains challenging. We propose Physics-Guided Residual Dynamics (PGRD), a hybrid simulation framework that combines the advantages of physics-based and learning-based approaches. Specifically, PGRD combines an optimizable spring-mass simulator as a backbone with a learned neural network that predicts residual corrections to the physics-based predictions. We adopt a velocity-based formulation to ensure stable simulation and a sliding-window transformer architecture to capture temporal dependencies. We show that PGRD produces more accurate results than both purely physics-based and learning-based methods on a set of diverse real-world deformable objects. We further demonstrate the utility of PGRD in two applications: manipulation planning via Model Predictive Control, including a language-conditioned setting with a generated goal image; and interactive simulation via action-conditioned video prediction by 3D Gaussian Splatting.

Reverse to Advance: Teleoperation-Cost Effective Hard Policy Learning from Reversed Easy Tasks

反向推进:从反向简单任务中进行成本有效的远程操作硬策略学习
Qiao, Qiyuan, Yuan, Ge, Wang, Can, Xu, Dong
Abstract
High-quality teleoperation datasets are costly to collect, particularly for hard tasks. We observe that many tasks exhibit directional asymmetry: completing the forward hard task is difficult, whereas reversing it by relaxing or disrupting the environment is comparatively easy. This suggests that reversed easy-task trajectories can serve as a scalable supervision signal for the hard task, reducing the cost of manual demonstration collection. However, reversed data can be noisy, and directly training on it may yield suboptimal policies. To enable largely automated acquisition and effective use of reversed data, we propose a teleoperation-cost effective framework for hard policy learning via temporal reversal of easy tasks, consisting of three key components: a closed-loop data collection pipeline that alternates between hard-task and easy-task policies to autonomously reset the environment and generate diverse trajectories; a hierarchical data refinement pipeline that temporally inverts easy-task rollouts and filters low-quality motion using kinematic priors and a critic-guided advantage filter; and an iterative policy learning method that trains the hard-task policy using both initial reversed easy-task demonstrations and the filtered reversed data in a continuous online learning loop. By combining automated collection, hierarchical refinement, and iterative learning, our method enables scalable, reliable training of complex, high-precision manipulation tasks. Across two simulated benchmarks and real-robot experiments, we demonstrate that our method improves hard-task success rates with higher data efficiency and more stable training compared to reversal-based and reinforcement-learning baselines, without requiring extensive hard-task teleoperation.

Joint On-and-Off Policy Learning for Vision-and-Language Navigation

视觉与语言导航的联合在线与离线策略学习
He, Qingrong, Zhao, Lin, Zheng, Kevin, Lin, Liang
Abstract
Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) necessitates an embodied agent to navigate in the physical world by adhering to natural language instructions. Recent advancements in Vision-Language Models (VLM) have propelled the development of VLM-based VLN methods with two predominant paradigms: (1) imitation learning (IL) on expert demonstrations, followed by the Dataset Aggregation (DAgger) algorithm to bolster error recovery capabilities; (2) reinforcement learning (RL) driven by verifiable rewards to enhance reasoning and exploration. A notable gap is the absence of integration between these two distinct paradigms. This paper introduces JOP-VLN, a novel VLN framework that synergistically combines off-policy imitation learning and on-policy exploration within a three-stage training pipeline. Initially, IL is employed on expert demonstrations to acquire basic navigation skills. Subsequently, the DAgger algorithm is utilized to generate heuristic exploration trajectories, which are then used for imitation learning to improve error recovery capabilities. Finally, a joint on-and-off policy learning framework is implemented, featuring high-entropy trajectory sampling to enhance RL training efficiency and an error-correction-prioritized trajectory sorting strategy for effective error correction. Extensive experiments demonstrate the efficacy of JOP-VLN, achieving success rates of 69.9% and 68.0% on the VLN-CE R2R and RxR benchmarks, respectively, setting a new state-of-the-art on R2R.

Abstract
Deploying humanoid robots in unstructured terrain remains an open problem. While classic reinforcement learning struggles with the sheer complexity of real-world interactions, more promising methods leveraging human priors remain limited to models lacking contextual awareness. The restricted motion synthesis is a direct consequence of existing dataset pipelines failing to capture human-scene sequences in challenging environments. To bridge this gap between humanoid learning and scene reconstruction, we introduce the Egocentric Human-Terrain Reconstruction (EgoHTR) dataset. We develop and open-source a reconstruction pipeline capturing 55 scene-aligned 4D human motion sequences in diverse, complex environments using a multi-sensor setup of egocentric wearables and a portable 3D scanner. The resulting dataset comprises over 150k frames, which we evaluate against motion-capture ground truth, demonstrating state-of-the-art accuracy and establishing a rigorous benchmark for human motion analysis and synthesis. Further, we leverage this data to train perceptive locomotion policies, demonstrating hardware deployment on a Unitree G1 for reconstructed reference motions. Our pipeline enables community-driven dataset extensions and factors the problem to help researchers build foundational, context-aware robots that reliably traverse uneven terrain.

Deformable State Estimation for Autonomous Surgical Tissue Retraction Under Partial Observability

在部分可观测条件下用于自主外科组织回缩的可变形状态估计
Yang, Everest, Thompson, Skye, Konidaris, George D.
Abstract
Surgical tissue retraction requires effective manipulation planning under partial and noisy perception. We study state estimation for deformable tissue retraction, where only sparse observations of the tissue surface are available at decision time. We propose a learned state estimator that reconstructs the full deformable mesh state from 40 noisy vertex observations. The estimator combines a multilayer perceptron with a low-dimensional PCA latent representation and is trained using geometry-aware regularization that encourages smooth and physically plausible deformations. We evaluate the approach in a 2D deformable sheet simulation using single-step and multi-step retraction planning. Results show that the learned estimator achieves 98.1% of oracle performance in multi-step retraction while supporting efficient inference.

VAMP-MR: Vector-Accelerated Motion Planning and Execution for Multi-Robot-Arms

VAMP-MR:面向多机器人臂的向量加速运动规划与执行
Huang, Philip, Gao, Chenrui, Li, Jiaoyang
Abstract
Multi-robot-arm motion planning is a key challenge in deploying multiple manipulators for industrial tasks such as manufacturing. Existing search-based and sampling-based solvers often require significant computation time to produce collision-free, high-quality motions suitable for safe real-world execution. In this work, we introduce a new suite of multi-robot-arm motion planners capable of near real-time motion generation, combining classical planning algorithms with state-of-the-art vectorized collision-checking techniques. Based on CPU SIMD instructions, our new planners accelerate their primary bottleneck, collision checking, and achieve up to two orders of magnitude speedup in both motion planning and execution postprocessing for multi-arm manipulation tasks. We also release our implementation to lower the barrier for research and development of multi-robot-arm planning and manipulation problems. Code is available at https://vamp-mr.github.io/vamp-mr

Topology-Agnostic Mesh Reconstruction of Deformable Objects from Sparse Touch

无拓扑依赖的可变形物体稀疏触摸网格重建
Yang, Everest
Abstract
Estimating the full shape of a deformable object is especially challenging when vision is unavailable: in the dark, inside an opaque bag, behind the manipulating hand, or under heavy self-occlusion. Touch is the natural sensor in these settings, but touches are sparse and local. We present a single topology-agnostic estimator that reconstructs the full mesh of a deformable object from only a few touches and no vision, using one permutation-invariant cross-attention architecture that handles a 1D rope, a 2D cloth, and a 3D volumetric soft body. The learned estimator reduces reconstruction error by roughly two-thirds relative to non-learned geometric mesh completion and a Gaussian-process surface baseline, and it outperforms a simpler global-pool set encoder, with the gap growing as more touches are observed. We then show that the estimator's deep-ensemble uncertainty can be used to learn where to touch next, which lowers error further and beats both random touching and a Gaussian-process active baseline at sparse budgets. This gain is modest on average but grows with self-occlusion and on the error tail. When vision is also available, where to touch barely matters, motivating the vision-free setting we study.

在缺乏视觉信息的情况下,估计可变形物体的完整形状尤其具有挑战性:在黑暗中、在不透明的袋子里、在操控手的后面或在严重自遮挡的情况下。触摸是这些环境中的自然传感器,但触摸是稀疏和局部的。我们提出了一种单一的无拓扑依赖估计器,该估计器仅通过少量触摸和无视觉信息重建可变形物体的完整网格,使用一种排列不变的交叉注意力架构,能够处理一维绳索、二维布料和三维体积软体。所学习的估计器相较于非学习的几何网格补全和高斯过程表面基线,减少了大约三分之二的重建误差,并且在观察到更多触摸时,其性能优于更简单的全局池集编码器。我们进一步展示了估计器的深度集成不确定性可以用于学习下一步触摸的位置,这进一步降低了误差,并在稀疏预算下优于随机触摸和高斯过程主动基线。尽管这一增益在平均水平上是适度的,但在自遮挡和误差尾部时则有所增加。当视觉信息可用时,触摸的位置几乎没有影响,这进一步激励了我们所研究的无视觉设置。

Layered Risk Mapping for Autonomous Patient Transport in Expeditionary Medical Facilities

用于远征医疗设施中自主患者运输的分层风险映射
Genua, Lorena Maria, Prajapati, Sarvesh, Leblebicioglu, Damla, Padır, Taşkın
Abstract
In expeditionary medical facilities, routine patient transport imposes a compounding burden of personal protective equipment consumption, staff diversion, and elevated infection risk that becomes unsustainable under surge conditions. While autonomous wheelchairs could absorb this operational load, the safety-critical nature of patient transit within these highly unstructured and dynamic environments poses complex navigational challenges. To address this, we present a layered risk mapping framework that fuses four heterogeneous environmental hazards (terrain slope, static and dynamic obstacles, and semantic traversability) into a unified probabilistic cost surface via a Noisy-OR fusion model. In a paired Monte-Carlo evaluation, risk-informed fusion reduces collision rates from over 73% to under 32% and more than doubles obstacle clearance relative to a risk-unaware baseline. Additionaly, Noisy-OR achieves the highest clearance to obstacles and the lowest conditional peak risk across all tested hazard densities. We further validate the framework on a commercial powered wheelchair across three representative mission profiles in indoor and outdoor deployments, demonstrating that this architecture successfully meets the planning requirements of this previously unaddressed operational regime.

Improving Map Consistency in Graph-Based LiDAR SLAM Through Information-Aware Odometry and Retroactive Loop Closure

通过信息感知里程计和回溯闭环来提高基于图的激光雷达SLAM中的地图一致性
Gupta, Saurabh, Trekel, Niklas, Wiesmann, Louis, Stachniss, Cyrill
Abstract
High-quality maps are fundamental for robotics tasks such as navigation and planning. Although modern graph-based LiDAR SLAM systems achieve good trajectory accuracies, a low trajectory error alone does not guarantee geometrically consistent maps, particularly at revisit locations where missed loop closures and residual drift can produce local misalignments. In this work, we address the problem of jointly improving global trajectory estimation and local map quality in 3D LiDAR SLAM. We first propose a framework to efficiently estimate geometry-dependent information matrices for ICP, enabling principled weighting of odometry constraints in a pose graph. We then introduce a hierarchical loop-closure module that decouples place recognition from geometric registration, together with a retroactive loop-closure module that exploits the optimized pose graph to recover missed loop closures. We also propose an evaluation protocol to measure map consistency at revisit locations. We evaluate our SLAM system on several datasets against state-of-the-art LiDAR SLAM systems. Experimental results demonstrate global trajectory accuracies on par with or better than existing methods while consistently improving local geometric map consistency at revisit locations. These results suggest that coupling uncertainty-aware odometry with geometry-guided loop-closure refinement leads to more accurate trajectories and higher-quality maps.

Kepler-Encoder-v0.1: Towards a Multimodal Embedding Model for Robots

Kepler-Encoder-v0.1:面向机器人的多模态嵌入模型
Singh, Ishneet Sukhvinder, Pooranakumaran, Dhanoosh, Nguyen, Alex, Yip, Jia Qi
Abstract
A robot must understand the state of its own body, but a camera sees only part of it. Force and contact leave almost no trace in a single frame, and raw vision features read force at $R^2$ at or below $0.10$ on every robot we test. We present Kepler-Encoder-v0.1, a robot-first multimodal encoder that treats robot state as a modality and fuses vision, proprioception, and force/torque into a single shared latent with a learned-query cross-attention layer, trained self-supervised by masked cross-modal prediction under the LeJEPA/SIGReg objective. At evaluation only vision enters, which poses a sharp question. Does fusing state into training make the vision-only latent carry anything the pixels do not already contain? On the RH20T corpus the answer is yes, precisely where the camera is weakest. On held-out scenes, the vision-only latent recovers end-effector state, and force in particular, significantly above both raw frozen-ViT features and a compute-matched vision-only control on every sensored robot, though absolute force recovery at a single timestep is modest; on motor state, which the camera largely sees, it is statistically tied with the strongest vision baselines, and it is the only feature whose latent geometry tracks state. A single embodiment-agnostic encoder covers four robots, and a data-matched control shows this breadth reflects embodiment diversity rather than data volume. The frozen latent is directly useful. Its own cross-modal prediction error is a training-free invalid-state monitor (AUROC $0.90$ on out-of-range states, $0.69$ on scene-swapped states), and a diffusion decoder (PixNerd) reconstructs the camera frame from the latent, confirming the spatial compression preserves world-state. This report validates the single-timestep case; native-rate temporal fusion is the next step.

机器人必须理解自身的状态,但相机只能看到部分信息。力和接触在单帧中几乎没有痕迹,而在我们测试的每个机器人上,原始视觉特征在 $R^2$ 上的读取力低于或等于 $0.10$。我们提出了 Kepler-Encoder-v0.1,这是一种以机器人为中心的多模态编码器,将机器人状态视为一种模态,并通过一个学习查询的交叉注意力层将视觉、身体感知和力/扭矩融合为一个共享的潜在空间,采用基于遮罩的跨模态预测进行自监督训练,目标为 LeJEPA/SIGReg。在评估时,仅输入视觉,这提出了一个尖锐的问题。将状态融入训练是否使得仅基于视觉的潜在空间包含像素所不具备的内容?在 RH20T 语料库中,答案是肯定的,尤其是在相机最弱的地方。在保留的场景中,仅基于视觉的潜在空间显著恢复了末端执行器状态,尤其是力,远超原始的冻结 ViT 特征和每个传感器机器人上的计算匹配的仅视觉控制,尽管在单个时间步的绝对力恢复相对适中;在相机大部分可见的电机状态上,它的表现与最强的视觉基线在统计上相当,并且是唯一一个潜在几何跟踪状态的特征。一个与具体体现无关的编码器覆盖了四个机器人,而数据匹配的控制显示这种广度反映的是体现的多样性而非数据量。冻结的潜在空间直接有用。其自身的跨模态预测误差是一个无训练的无效状态监测器(在超范围状态下的 AUROC 为 $0.90$,在场景交换状态下的 AUROC 为 $0.69$),而扩散解码器(PixNerd)从潜在空间重建相机帧,确认空间压缩保留了世界状态。本报告验证了单时间步的情况;原生速率的时间融合是下一步。

COLMAR: Cooperative View Policy Learning for Multi-Agent Active 3D Reconstruction

COLMAR:用于多智能体主动3D重建的协作视角策略学习
Pham, Phu, Conover, Damon, Bera, Aniket
Abstract
Active 3D reconstruction requires selecting informative viewpoints under limited sensing budgets. In multi-agent settings, coordination inefficiencies such as redundant observations and spatial clustering can significantly reduce reconstruction quality. We present COLMAR, a cooperative view policy learning framework for multi-agent active 3D reconstruction. COLMAR formulates viewpoint allocation as a shared policy optimization over map-centric observations and introduces a reconstruction-aware objective that promotes overlap-aware coverage, team-level discovery, and collision-safe exploration. Dense feedback derived from incremental reconstruction updates aligns exploration behavior with downstream geometric quality. The policy is trained using parameter-sharing Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) with independent per-agent action selection at deployment, conditioned on a fused team map and without inter-agent message passing for decision making. Selected viewpoints are then reconstructed with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) for high-fidelity photometric evaluation. Experiments on GLEAM and Replica demonstrate consistent improvements over heuristic and non-cooperative baselines, achieving up to 54% higher reconstruction accuracy and 49% greater coverage under matched sensing budgets.

Flow-aware Optimal Navigation in Unsteady Flows through Reinforcement Learning

基于流动感知的强化学习在非稳态流动中的最优导航
Braghin, Andrea Maria, Botteghi, Nicolò, Tomasetto, Matteo, Manzoni, Andrea, Cazzulani, Gabriele
Abstract
Autonomous robotic navigation in nonstationary time-varying fluid flows remains a fundamental challenge due to partial observability and the unpredictability of realistic environments. While classical optimal control frameworks employed in robotics require unrealistic a-priori global flow knowledge, biological systems are able to navigate successfully by exploiting localized sensory cues. In this work we present a reinforcement learning approach using the TD3 algorithm to train autonomous agents to reach arbitrary targets within a parametric, chaotic double-gyre flow. To investigate optimal sensory mechanisms, we evaluate five bio-inspired observation strategies based on relative position, local velocity or local vorticity measures, and short-term memory variants. Additionally, we analyze the impact of providing agents with explicit global flow parameters. Numerical results demonstrate that an agent that is able to sense and remember a set number of flow velocity measures achieves the highest performance. The experiments reveal a trade-off in sensor utility: velocity-aware agents optimize energy efficiency, whereas vorticity sensors provide superior structural mapping and achieve better target proximity. Incorporating explicit global flow parameters is shown to decrease navigation performance. This behavior suggests that reinforcement learning-based autonomous systems develop more robust and general policies when restricted to implicit flow representations. The presented results offer insights for improving the transition of bio-inspired robotic navigation from simulation to real-world environments.

Abstract
Maneuvering target tracking in three-dimensional space remains a challenging problem due to complex motion dynamics and model mismatch. To address this, this paper proposes a hybrid model/data-driven algorithm named IMMNet, which integrates the interpretable structure of the interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm with learnable neural components. Unlike end-to-end black-box methods, the proposed IMMNet algorithm not only can preserve the Bayesian inference mechanism that is essential for real-time radar applications, but also can adaptively learn motion patterns and noise characteristics from data. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed IMMNet algorithm consistently outperforms the existing algorithms across various scenarios, validating it as a robust, interpretable, and practical solution for maneuvering target tracking.

Agile perceptive multi-skill locomotion for quadrupedal robots in the wild

野外四足机器人灵活感知的多技能运动
Kang, Jun-Gill, Park, Jaehyun, Song, Tae-Gyu, Kim, Joon-Ha, Hong, Seungwoo, Park, Hae-Won
Abstract
Enabling quadrupedal robots to traverse complex terrains-from rugged outdoor environments to urban landscapes-requires seamless integration of multiple motor skills, smooth transitions between gaits, and high-speed perceptive locomotion using only onboard sensors. We present APT-RL (Action Pretrained Transformer-based Reinforcement Learning), a unified framework that enables multi-skill locomotion to achieve high-speed traversal in complex environments through autonomous skill transitions utilizing only onboard perception and computation. Our approach generates large-scale, feature-rich 2D motion datasets through trajectory optimization with simplified dynamics. These datasets enable training of diverse, reusable locomotion skills that transfer effectively to a real quadruped robot operating on complex uneven terrains. The resulting high-quality skills serve as strong priors for efficient learning of complex downstream tasks and extend naturally to 3D environments, enabling smooth, high-speed multi-skill locomotion in deployed policy. Real-world experiments demonstrate the framework's capabilities: the robot performs agile maneuvers through complex indoor obstacles and outdoor wild environments, including dynamic drop-down maneuvers that reach instantaneous peak speeds of up to 6 meters per second. A single onboard policy enables robust traversal of diverse obstacles, including stairs, hurdles, stepping stones, gaps, and fallen branches, demonstrating the versatility and effectiveness of our approach.

Active Trust Management for Successful Human-Robot Teaming: Moving from a Trust Repair to a Trust Satisficing Perspective

成功的人机团队信任管理:从信任修复到信任满意的视角
Webb, Nicola, Hunt, Edmund R.
Abstract
Integrating mobile robots into human teams promises significant capability improvements for tasks such as searching hazardous environments. Unlike existing teleoperated robots, future robot systems will increasingly be endowed with some level of artificial intelligence (AI), giving them a degree of autonomy in how they pursue mission goals. This autonomy could make a human-agent (robot) team more effective but also put inter-agent trust under strain if robots make a mistake, or (appear to) pursue task priorities that conflict with the team's best interest. During a mission, agents' trust states are anticipated to vary according to the situation as understood by each teammate (trustor). If component-level (agent) or system-level trust falls below sufficient levels for cooperative tasks to be completed, it could critically affect mission success . We argue that active trust management will be an important precondition for the success of human-robot teams (HRTs, a subcategory of human-agent teams with embodied agents), especially in dynamic, high-risk environments. We present a trust satisficing perspective which acknowledges and attempts to account for the fluctuating, multi-faceted, and context-dependent nature of trust and trust requirements even under normal operating conditions. Our outline of a trust management framework for human-robot teaming includes online measurement of proxy metrics for trust, closed-loop adaptation of robot behavior, and variable autonomy to give space for human responsibility in situations requiring value judgements. We refer to a recent experimental exploration of 'swift trust' and a novel behavioral trust metric for HRT, and we highlight issues for further investigation.

Semantic Anchoring for Robotic Action Representations

机器人动作表征的语义锚定
Xu, Yuan, Shi, Youheng, Li, Chengyang, Zhu, Wentao, Wang, Yizhou
Abstract
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models inherit rich semantic representations from pretrained Vision-Language Models, yet fine-tuning on limited robot demonstrations degrades this structure and undermines generalization. A fundamental question therefore arises: what constitutes a good action representation? Inspired by the mirror neuron theory's insight that observation and execution share an intention-level encoding, we examine whether a robot's action representations preserve the semantic structure captured by pretrained encoders. Systematic probing confirms that this structure erodes during finetuning, and that its quality synchronizes with both task success and out-of-distribution generalization. We further introduce a plug-and-play method that anchors action representations to a semantic manifold while decomposing representations into a shared semantic channel and a private channel, all discarded at inference, leaving the deployed model unchanged. Validated on different VLA backbones across simulation and real-world benchmarks, our method yields up to +18.7% on real-world in-distribution tasks and +21.5% on out-of-distribution generalization.

An Empirical Study on Stage-Information Interfaces for VLA Fine-Tuning

关于 VLA 微调的阶段信息接口的实证研究
Ji, Yingwei
Abstract
One high-level instruction in long-horizon manipulation can cover several action stages. We use segmented action annotations as an intermediate representation between the full-task instruction and VLA action chunks. A progress module tracks the active stage, while the action policy receives stage information either as current-stage text or as a normalized ordinal stage index in robot state. We compare these interfaces with GR00T N1.6 on LIBERO-10 under direct fine-tuning and continuation fine-tuning from a full-task instruction baseline. Under direct fine-tuning, full-task instruction, current-stage text, and Ordinal Stage-State achieve mean success rates of 57.45%, 50.24%, and 54.36%, respectively, showing that explicit stage information does not automatically improve the policy. Under continuation, the corresponding means are 49.07%, 50.00%, and 53.75%, with Ordinal Stage-State exceeding both alternatives in all three paired runs. The observed benefit differs across interface representations and training arrangements.

Design, Modeling and Experimental Validation of a Miniature Hybrid Underwater Glider With Large-Range Foldable Deflectable Wings

大型可折叠可偏转翼的微型混合水下滑翔器的设计、建模与实验验证

Abstract
Miniature hybrid underwater gliders have attracted increasing attention for long-endurance ocean observation and confined-space inspection. Large-range wing reconfiguration offers a promising yet largely unexplored approach for simultaneously enhancing maneuverability and shape adaptability in constrained underwater environments. However, such morphing introduces substantial challenges in mechanical integration, dynamic modeling, and hydrodynamic characterization. This paper presents FoDeGlider, a miniature hybrid underwater glider equipped with two independently actuated wings capable of large-range folding and deflection. To capture configuration-dependent variations in mass distribution, center-of-geometry location, and hydrodynamic loading, a multibody dynamics model is developed by treating wing configuration as a structural variable. A composite rigid body algorithm (CRBA)-based projection formulates the composite inertia, wrench transformations, and component-level hydrodynamics into a unified Fossen-form dynamic model applicable to arbitrary wing configurations. A sequential parameter-identification framework is further proposed to estimate fuselage and wing hydrodynamic coefficients, resulting in an open benchmark dataset for model identification and validation. Extensive experiments are conducted, the results of which demonstrate accurate dynamic modeling and parameter identification across diverse morphing configurations. Gate traversal experiments further validate FoDeGlider's ability to actively reconfigure its morphology during locomotion, enabling enhanced navigation in confined underwater environments.

Natural language interaction provides an intuitive way for non-expert users to communicate with robotic platforms. However, transforming user requests into executable navigation actions remains a challenging task, requiring the integration of language understanding, environment perception, and autonomous navigation. This work presents a language-driven navigation framework that enables mobile robots to interpret user requests in natural language to move the robot to a destination and autonomously navigate towards it. The framework is composed of modular ROS 2 components that cooperate to transform natural language instructions into navigation actions. Given a natural language request referring to a target in the environment (e.g., "go to the mail box"), the system identifies the referenced object, estimates its position using RGB-D data, and generates a navigation goal, which is then executed through the ROS 2 Nav2 navigation stack. The ROS 2-based implementation facilitates portability across different robotic platforms, requiring only the configuration of the corresponding topics and services. The system is evaluated in both simulation and real-world scenarios using a TurtleBot3 Waffle and a Unitree Go2 robot with a RealSense camera. Experimental results show that the framework successfully interprets both direct commands and contextual requests, generates meaningful natural-language feedback, and navigates towards the desired target. These results demonstrate the feasibility of combining semantic perception and autonomous navigation to provide an intuitive human-robot interaction paradigm. Code will be released as open source upon acceptance.

自然语言交互为非专业用户与机器人平台之间的沟通提供了一种直观的方式。然而,将用户请求转化为可执行的导航动作仍然是一项具有挑战性的任务,这需要语言理解、环境感知和自主导航的整合。本研究提出了一种语言驱动的导航框架,使移动机器人能够解读用户的自然语言请求,以将机器人移动到目标位置并自主导航到达该位置。该框架由模块化的ROS 2组件组成,这些组件协同工作,将自然语言指令转化为导航动作。给定一个指向环境中目标的自然语言请求(例如,“去邮箱”),系统识别所提及的对象,利用RGB-D数据估计其位置,并生成导航目标,随后通过ROS 2 Nav2导航栈执行该目标。基于ROS 2的实现便于在不同的机器人平台之间移植,仅需配置相应的主题和服务。该系统在使用带有RealSense相机的TurtleBot3 Waffle和Unitree Go2机器人进行的仿真和现实场景中进行了评估。实验结果表明,该框架成功解读了直接命令和上下文请求,生成了有意义的自然语言反馈,并朝着期望的目标进行导航。这些结果展示了将语义感知与自主导航相结合以提供直观的人机交互范式的可行性。代码将在接受后作为开源发布。

Design and Control of the "QuadBoat": A Quadruped Surface Vehicle for Drowning Rescue

“四足船”的设计与控制:一种用于溺水救援的四足水面车辆
Zhang, Lianxin, Huang, Yihan, Qian, Huihuan
Abstract
Prompt extraction of victims from water is crucial in water surface rescue missions. However, previous research on rescue robots has seldom addressed this issue. This paper presents QuadBoat, a bio-inspired unmanned surface vehicle (USV) designed to track and retrieve victims from water. QuadBoat features a quadrupedal robot configuration, enabling it with highly adaptable and agile maneuverability through its actively adjustable posture. Employing an inverse kinematics-based controller and cascaded model predictive control (MPC)-PID controller for overall movement, QuadBoat can accurately track and retrieve objects on the water surface. Maneuverability demonstrations validate QuadBoat's high agility, while a series of tracking experiments, including leg action tracking and trajectory tracking, confirm its high motion accuracy and system mobility. Finally, visual-based tracking and object pickup experiments further verify QuadBoat's target tracking capabilities and its effectiveness in executing rescues, both indoors and outdoors.

Anatomy of Uncertainty: Expressive Descriptors of Robotic Manipulator Motion for Non-verbal Communication in Human-Robot Collaboration

不确定性的解剖:用于人机协作中非语言交流的机器人操控运动的表现性描述符
Bector, Ridhima, Dutta, Souravik, Ramachandran, Poornima, Yeoh, Ree Yan, Tan, Jui Hien, Campolo, Domenico, Schmitt, Bernhard Johannes
Abstract
Robots operating in human-robot collaboration must communicate not only their intended actions but also uncertainty arising from incomplete or ambiguous perception. This work introduces a mathematical framework for expressing perceptual uncertainty through robotic manipulator motion. Drawing on Laban Movement Analysis, robot behavior is organized in a Commitment-Vigilance state space that maps uncertainty-related states - confidence, curiosity, hesitance, fear, and inactivity - to distinct Laban Effort signatures. Five motion primitives - approach, pause, retreat, exploration, and oscillation - are then parameterized using eleven kinematic and geometric descriptors, including acceleration, pause and retreat characteristics, gaze angles, tilt, and shiver amplitude. A video-based human-subject study evaluated recognition of four expressive trajectories and the influence of individual descriptors on perceived intensity. Participants reliably identified the intended behavioral states, while several descriptors significantly modulated expressiveness. The results establish a perceptually grounded basis for encoding robot uncertainty in motion and support future autonomous trajectory generation using parametric movement representations for collaborative tasks in shared environments.

Towards a Modular Bin-picking Framework for Handling Object Pose Uncertainties

面向处理物体姿态不确定性的模块化拣箱框架
Hagelskjær, Frederik
Abstract
In recent years, there has been growing interest in robust robotic systems for precise bin-picking applications. To achieve reliable performance, such systems must address errors arising from both the object pose estimation and the grasping process. Although various approaches have been proposed, they typically target specific challenges and do not offer general solutions. In this paper, we present a modular framework that jointly handles both error types. The framework incorporates object pose distribution estimation to account for pose uncertainty, which frequently arises in situations with ambiguous observations where a single correct pose cannot be determined. To further reduce uncertainty, we introduce a second-viewpoint module that computes complementary pose distributions, which are subsequently fused. This fusion decreases overall uncertainty and improves system efficiency. Additionally, two independent modules are included to compensate for grasping errors. The modular design allows the components to be combined for optimal performance or used individually, depending on the physical setup. The proposed method is evaluated in a real-world setup with three different objects, with no errors, and all modules are shown to improve efficiency. These results suggest that incorporating pose distributions with grasping pose errors is a promising direction for developing more flexible and reliable robotic production systems. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first framework that jointly addresses both grasping and object pose uncertainties using interchangeable modules. We believe there is ample opportunity to integrate additional modules, resulting in improved performance and flexibility. The current framework is limited to pose uncertainties in SO(2), but it could be extended to SE(3), enabling additional modules to improve the system.

近年来,针对精确拣箱应用的稳健机器人系统引起了越来越多的关注。为了实现可靠的性能,这类系统必须解决来自物体姿态估计和抓取过程的错误。尽管已有多种方法被提出,它们通常针对特定挑战,并未提供通用解决方案。本文提出了一种模块化框架,联合处理这两种错误类型。该框架结合了物体姿态分布估计,以考虑姿态不确定性,这种不确定性常常出现在观察模糊的情况下,无法确定单一正确的姿态。为了进一步减少不确定性,我们引入了一个第二视角模块,该模块计算互补的姿态分布,随后进行融合。这种融合降低了整体不确定性,提高了系统效率。此外,还包括两个独立模块以补偿抓取错误。模块化设计允许根据物理设置将组件组合以实现最佳性能,或单独使用。所提出的方法在一个真实环境中对三种不同物体进行了评估,未出现错误,所有模块均显示出提高效率的效果。这些结果表明,将姿态分布与抓取姿态错误结合起来是开发更灵活和可靠的机器人生产系统的一个有希望的方向。据我们所知,这是第一个使用可互换模块联合解决抓取和物体姿态不确定性的框架。我们相信还有很多机会可以集成额外模块,从而提高性能和灵活性。目前的框架仅限于SO(2)中的姿态不确定性,但可以扩展到SE(3),以便增加额外模块来改善系统。

nuTruck: Benchmarking Autonomous Driving Planning for Distributed Electric-drive Trucks

nuTruck:分布式电驱动卡车自主驾驶规划的基准测试
Miao, Jinyu, Zhang, Pu, He, Yifei, Zhang, Chengyao, Jiang, Kun, Wang, Ke, Yang, Mengmeng, Yang, Diange
Abstract
The dominance of traditional rule-based methods in autonomous driving has gradually been replaced by learning-based approaches. While learning-based planners have achieved considerable success in passenger vehicles, their performance on heavy-duty trucks, particularly modern distributed electric-drive trucks (DETs), remains largely unexplored. To facilitate research and application of learning-based planners in DETs, this letter presents the first high-fidelity benchmark, called nuTruck, designed to support large-scale neural network training and closed-loop evaluation. Given the complex dynamics and high rollover susceptibility of DETs, we first incorporate a highly accurate nonlinear truck dynamical model into the simulation, which enables independent driving and steering of all wheels and captures dynamic load transfer caused by acceleration, deceleration, and cornering, thereby allowing quantitative assessment of rollover risk in closed-loop simulation. Second, we adapt several rule-based and learning-based planners as baselines for DETs and evaluate their performance in closed-loop simulation. Finally, using real-world driving scenarios from the nuPlan dataset, we conduct extensive closed-loop evaluations, analyzing not only conventional collision-free planning performance, but also the dynamical safety of the planned trajectories. The proposed nuTruck benchmark is expected to serve as a new standard for fair and realistic evaluation of autonomous driving planners on DETs.

传统基于规则的方法在自主驾驶领域的主导地位逐渐被基于学习的方法所取代。尽管基于学习的规划器在乘用车上取得了显著成功,但它们在重型卡车,特别是现代分布式电驱动卡车(DETs)上的表现仍然很大程度上未被探索。为了促进基于学习的规划器在DETs中的研究和应用,本文提出了第一个高保真基准,称为nuTruck,旨在支持大规模神经网络训练和闭环评估。考虑到DETs的复杂动态特性和高翻车敏感性,我们首先将一个高度准确的非线性卡车动力学模型纳入模拟中,该模型能够实现所有车轮的独立驱动和转向,并捕捉因加速、减速和转弯引起的动态载荷转移,从而允许在闭环模拟中对翻车风险进行定量评估。其次,我们将几种基于规则和基于学习的规划器调整为DETs的基准,并评估它们在闭环模拟中的表现。最后,利用来自nuPlan数据集的真实驾驶场景,我们进行了广泛的闭环评估,不仅分析了传统的无碰撞规划性能,还分析了规划轨迹的动态安全性。所提出的nuTruck基准预计将作为对DETs上的自主驾驶规划器进行公平和现实评估的新标准。

The Nonsmooth Impact Direction (NSID) of Robotic Systems

机器人系统的非光滑冲击方向(NSID)
Kirner, Annika, Ott, Christian
Abstract
Collisions of rigid-link robots and rigid environments are often modeled as instantaneous events. Under this idealization, the impact forces become impulsive and the system velocities nonsmooth. In this work, we systematically analyze pre- and post-impact velocities focusing on what we refer to as the nonsmooth impact direction (NSID). We show that it is a characteristic direction of a robotic impact and largely independent of contact properties. The results are directly applicable to large classes of backdrivable robotic systems with rigid links. We address particularities of systems with nonelastic and flexible joints, unconstrained as well as constrained systems. Further, we show that the approach direction w.r.t the NSID sets the direction of the impulsive force in frictional, inelastic impacts. The comprehensive theoretical analysis of this work supported by an experimental validation may serve as a foundation for future planning and control algorithms for various robotic impact applications. These can include humanoid locomotion on a slippery surface or repetitive hammering.

Dynamical Vehicle Orienteering Problem for Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

多旋翼无人机的动态车辆定向问题
Nekovář, František, Novosad, Matej, Saska, Martin, Pěnička, Robert
Abstract
This paper introduces the Dynamical Vehicle Orienteering Problem (DVOP), a generalization of the Orienteering Problem (OP). The OP maximizes the reward collected from spatial targets under a limited travel budget; the DVOP extends it by accounting for both external and vehicle-actuated forces. We study the DVOP in the context of multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight planning, using a three-dimensional Point-Mass Model (PMM) constrained by maximum velocity and acceleration magnitudes and subject to gravitational acceleration, with the travel budget expressed as a maximum flight time. Because the DVOP couples reward maximization with time-optimal trajectory planning, it cannot be formulated as a simple graph problem and solved exactly without relaxing or under-actuating the vehicle dynamics. We therefore propose two solution approaches: a Branch-and-Bound (BnB) procedure that combines Non-Linear Programming (NLP) and Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) to provide high-quality solutions, and a Large Neighborhood Search (LNS) metaheuristic that supplies an initial reward bound and scales to instances intractable for the BnB. The BnB relies on a novel MILP formulation of travel costs based on minimum-time trajectory primitives through target triplets, yielding a tight reward upper bound, while the LNS uses limited thrust decomposition to compute fast, high-quality PMM trajectories. Experiments on benchmark instances show improvements of up to 37 % over state-of-the-art solutions for the Kinematic Orienteering Problem, and a real-world deployment on a multi-rotor UAV verifies the proposed PMM solution trajectories.

Vision-Based Obstacle Separation for Strawberry Harvesting in Clusters Using Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning

基于视觉的草莓聚集环境障碍物分离方法:层次强化学习框架
Li, Teng, Shi, Hanfei, Zhao, Chunjiang, Xiong, Ya
Abstract
Selective harvesting in clustered strawberry environments is challenging because ripe fruits are often occluded by surrounding unripe fruits, making direct grasping unreliable. To address this problem, this paper proposes a hierarchical reinforcement learning framework, termed VGPA, which integrates a vision-guided decision mechanism and a Progressive Adaptive Exploration Strategy (PAES) for vision-based obstacle separation and harvesting. The task was decomposed into two sequential stages: obstacle separation and target grasping. At the high level, the vision-guided mechanism improved option selection and accelerated policy convergence. At the low level, PAES improved exploration efficiency and training stability during continuous control learning. In simulation experiments, the learned policy achieved a success rate of 96.7%. In addition, sim-to-real transfer experiments on a self-developed parallel robot showed that the proposed method achieved success rates ranging from 71.7% to 88.3%, outperforming direct picking while requiring only 1.22~s more average harvesting time. These results verified the effectiveness, generalization ability, and practical potential of the proposed method for robotic harvesting in complex clustered environments.

Abstract
European safety regulation now permits a large share of automated-driving homologation evidence to be produced virtually, provided a validated physical-virtual facility generates it. We present a deployed hybrid Vehicle-in-the-Loop (ViL) platform that couples a real instrumented vehicle with a CARLA-based digital twin (DT) through a V2X message pipeline, and we report its first integrated operation on a public-road-representative test track. A real vehicle streams ETSI-compliant CAM/CPM messages into the DT, where a GPU-accelerated Cooperative Perception (CP) module fuses them into a probabilistic occupancy grid during scenario runtime. We demonstrate the platform on a multi-vehicle double T-intersection scenario, characterise the CP workload across nominal, rain and night conditions and five localization-noise levels, and discuss the platform's current architectural limits and the engineering targets they define. The results show that CP substantially widens field-of-view (FoV) coverage and improves occupied-cell recall, and that beyond a moderate localization-noise threshold, positioning uncertainty, and not weather, becomes the dominant error source. We outline the platform's trajectory toward a Mediterranean operational design domain (ODD) testing service.

Learning Robust Execution in Robotic Manipulation with Agentic Reinforcement Learning

通过自主强化学习学习机器人操作中的稳健执行
Zhang, Xiaopeng, Weng, Yueyang, Liu, Qi, Mu, Yongjin, Li, Yanjie
Abstract
Robotic manipulation poses fundamental challenges due to uncertainty, long-horizon execution, and compounding errors, which can easily destabilize execution and lead to task failure. Although recent vision-language-action (VLA) models exhibit strong generalization, they typically lack explicit mechanisms to assess execution stability and to recover when execution deviates from its nominal behavior. In this paper, we propose: (1) two complementary metrics to assess execution quality at runtime, and (2) an agentic reinforcement learning framework that learns to restore effective execution through high-level decision-making rather than directly learning low-level actions. In this framework, an agentic policy reasons over recent execution history and selects among a small set of execution modes to regulate the execution process. Under execution degradation, it triggers appropriate recovery mechanisms to restore the robot to previously visited nominal states, enabling the task to continue. We evaluate the proposed method on the LIBERO benchmark, achieving up to a 13.7% improvement in success rate under standard settings and up to a 39.2% improvement under disturbance settings, demonstrating substantially enhanced execution robustness.

Recursive ArUco Markers: A Scalable Fiducial Marker Design for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Landing Pads

递归 ArUco 标记:一种可扩展的无人机着陆垫标记设计
Munoz-Salinas, Rafael, Romero-Ramirez, Francisco Jose, Garrido-Jurado, Sergio
Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) increasingly rely on visual fiducial markers for autonomous navigation and precision landing. However, standard markers suffer from limited operational ranges, becoming undetectable when the camera is either too far or too close. While recursive and fractal markers have been proposed to address this issue, existing approaches either require the marker's center to remain visible, making them vulnerable to occlusion, or are limited in their recursion depth and placement. We propose a novel Recursive ArUco marker design. Our method allows any standard fiducial marker to be transformed into a recursive marker with an arbitrary depth. By employing a modified bit-sampling strategy during detection, we embed complete markers within both the black and white bits of the parent marker. This approach guarantees unlimited recursion depth and robust detection even with partial occlusion, as it does not rely on the marker's center being visible. Furthermore, by maintaining a single, unique identifier across all recursive scales, our proposal provides an extensive dictionary of multiple unique landing pads. This capability allows fleets of UAVs to operate simultaneously, with each drone landing at its designated location -- a feature not supported by existing Fractal and Harco markers due to their structural and dictionary constraints.

无人机(UAV)越来越依赖视觉基准标记进行自主导航和精确着陆。然而,标准标记的操作范围有限,当相机距离过远或过近时,标记会变得不可检测。虽然已经提出了递归和分形标记来解决这一问题,但现有方法要么要求标记的中心保持可见,使其容易受到遮挡,要么在递归深度和放置上受到限制。我们提出了一种新颖的递归 ArUco 标记设计。我们的方法允许将任何标准基准标记转变为具有任意深度的递归标记。通过在检测过程中采用修改的位采样策略,我们将完整的标记嵌入到父标记的黑白位中。这种方法保证了无限的递归深度和即使在部分遮挡情况下也能进行稳健检测,因为它不依赖于标记中心的可见性。此外,通过在所有递归尺度上保持单一的唯一标识符,我们的提案提供了一个广泛的多个唯一着陆垫字典。这一能力使得无人机队能够同时操作,每架无人机在其指定位置着陆——这一特性是现有的分形和 Harco 标记由于其结构和字典限制所不支持的。

Merging Reaction to Cognition: A Hybrid Cognitive Strategy for Odour Source Localisation in Natural Environments

反应与认知的融合:一种用于自然环境中气味源定位的混合认知策略
Magalhães, Hugo, Baptista, Rui, Marques, Lino
Abstract
Chemical pollutants released into the environment are transported by turbulent flows, generating complex, intermittent plume structures that threaten ecosystems and human health. Rapid localisation of emission sources is critical, and field robots equipped with chemical sensors provide a viable means to perform this task. However, inferring source location from sensor readings remains difficult due to sparse detections and the absence of reliable concentration gradients. Existing approaches fall into two paradigms. Bio-inspired strategies rely on reactive behaviours triggered by detections, such as surge-casting, offering efficiency but requiring scenario-specific tuning. Cognitive strategies integrate observations into a probabilistic belief over source location. While more robust, they suffer from excessive exploration and strong dependence on belief accuracy. The Fast-Cognitive algorithm reduced this computational burden but preserved the fundamental limitations. Previous Markov chain analysis revealed that source-directed motions occur roughly twice as often following odour detections, indicating that reactive behaviours naturally emerge within cognitive frameworks. This work proposes a hybrid strategy that explicitly incorporates bio-inspired reactivity into belief-dependent motion planning. It introduces a detection-triggered switching mechanism formalising transitions between crossflow exploration and source-directed motion, prioritising source proximity over information gain. Behavioural parameters are derived directly from belief metrics, enabling adaptive reactivity without manual tuning. The approach is validated through simulations under three turbulence conditions and field experiments with an autonomous surface vehicle in the Mondego River, Portugal. Results show up to 50% reduction in travelled distance, 86% success rate, and 3.2m average localisation error.

Learning Forward & Reverse Skills from a Single Unfinished Demonstration for Constrained Manipulation Tasks

从单一未完成演示中学习约束操作任务的正向与反向技能
Hu, Yexin, Zheng, Haoyi, Heidersberger, Johannes, Lee, Dongheui
Abstract
Learning from demonstration (LfD) enables robots to learn manipulation skills directly from expert demonstrations but remains challenging for contact-rich tasks involving geometric constraints and force interaction. Existing approaches typically require multiple complete demonstrations and do not support reverse skill execution. In this paper, we present a unified one-shot framework for constrained manipulation that learns both forward and reverse execution from a single, possibly unfinished demonstration. Our method decomposes demonstrations into non-contact and contact phases, with non-contact motion encoded with dynamic movement primitives (DMP), and contact motion represented as a sequence of screw motion primitives segmented by our proposed geometry-driven twist-direction segmentation algorithm. During execution, screw primitives are executed sequentially under admittance-guided pose correction and speed regulation, enabling task completion beyond the demonstrated trajectory length as well as reverse skill execution without additional learning data. Experiments on peg insertion, battery insertion, lock opening, and screw driving tasks demonstrate improved success rates and robustness over segmentation and one-shot trajectory learning baselines.

This limitation is rooted in a semantic-physical gap caused by the inherent mismatch between discrete language tokens and continuous trajectory planning. While Vision-Language-Action (VLA) architectures attempt to bridge this gap by unifying perception and control into a single policy, this entanglement creates a new bottleneck. Standard VLAs experience a severe spatial representation collapse, which irreversibly degrades the fine-grained spatial and geometric priors essential for safe, boundary-aware navigation. To address this limitation, we propose the S-squared-VLA, which explicitly decouples the semantic and spatial streams in Vision-Language-Action models. The semantic stream leverages hierarchical bridging to extract multi-scale VLM features for robust intent reasoning. In parallel, an independent spatial stream bypasses the autoregressive language bottleneck, directly preserving uncompressed spatial features from the visual encoder. By integrating auxiliary perception supervision, this stream explicitly equips the model with rich spatial and geometric priors. Finally, a dual-stream planning adapter fuses high-level semantic intent with precise spatial constraints via cascaded attention mechanisms. Evaluations on the NAVSIM closed-loop benchmark show that S-squared-VLA achieves a Predictive Driver Model Score (PDMS) of 87.1, establishing a new state-of-the-art for VLA models under a purely supervised fine-tuning (SFT) setting. By mitigating the spatial representation collapse of traditional VLMs, our framework significantly outperforms baselines, achieving the highest No Collision (NC) rate of 98.4 among all evaluated methods.

视觉-语言模型(VLMs)在自动驾驶中的高层次推理方面展现了显著的潜力,但它们在生成精确的低层次控制动作方面存在根本性的困难。这一限制源于语义与物理之间的差距,这种差距是由于离散语言符号与连续轨迹规划之间的固有不匹配造成的。尽管视觉-语言-动作(VLA)架构试图通过将感知与控制统一为单一策略来弥合这一差距,但这种纠缠又创造了新的瓶颈。标准的VLA经历了严重的空间表示崩溃,这不可逆转地降低了安全且边界感知导航所必需的细粒度空间和几何先验。为了解决这一限制,我们提出了S平方-VLA,它明确地在视觉-语言-动作模型中解耦语义和空间流。语义流利用层次桥接提取多尺度VLM特征,以实现稳健的意图推理。与此同时,一个独立的空间流绕过自回归语言瓶颈,直接保留来自视觉编码器的未压缩空间特征。通过整合辅助感知监督,该流明确地为模型提供丰富的空间和几何先验。最后,一个双流规划适配器通过级联注意机制将高层次语义意图与精确的空间约束融合在一起。在NAVSIM闭环基准测试中的评估显示,S平方-VLA在纯监督微调(SFT)设置下达到了87.1的预测驾驶员模型分数(PDMS),为VLA模型建立了新的最先进水平。通过缓解传统VLM的空间表示崩溃,我们的框架显著优于基线,在所有评估方法中实现了98.4的最高无碰撞(NC)率。

Discriminative Barrier Functions for Safe Adversarial Imitation Learning from Observation

用于安全对抗模仿学习的区分性障碍函数
Vishwakarma, Anubhav, Mehta, Bhaumik, Hsu, Caleb, Boots, Byron, Leung, Karen, Han, Tyler
Abstract
Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) algorithms are powerful tools for learning from and generalizing expert demonstrations, but they often rely on unconstrained exploration, rendering them unsafe for real-world deployment. Meanwhile, Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) can guarantee the safety of control systems, but the analytical design of CBFs can be time-consuming and esoteric. In this work, we address these limitations jointly by constraining reward function candidacy during IRL to the space of CBFs, yielding a formulation that exhibits safe online control with continuous experiential improvement. Crucially, this framework enables the data-driven recovery of barrier functions directly from unlabeled expert observations. We demonstrate that the recovered barrier function is robust to unsafe states entirely absent from the expert data. Furthermore, we benchmark our method against standard IRL baselines in a simulated navigation environment, demonstrating improved safety performance. Finally, we investigate the trade-offs of planning-based versus policy-based IRL methods across both simulation and a real world obstacle avoidance task.

Abstract
World Action Models (WAMs) improve robot policy learning by jointly modeling actions and future visual observations, using future scene evolution as dense supervision for physically grounded action generation. However, a common design in existing WAMs is to explicitly generate future videos at inference time, incurring substantial computational overhead and hindering real-time closed-loop deployment. GigaWorld-Policy addresses this issue with an action-centered formulation, where future visual dynamics are used during training while action-only decoding is used at inference time. Building upon this framework, we present GigaWorld-Policy-0.5, an enhanced action-centered WAM designed for more efficient robot control. During pretraining, GigaWorld-Policy-0.5 adopts a mixed Action-Conditioned World Modeling (AC-WM) and WAM training strategy. This strengthens the coupling between visual dynamics and robot actions and improves the transferability of action representations for downstream policy learning. For efficient inference, GigaWorld-Policy-0.5 introduces a Mixture-of-Transformers architecture that separates visual dynamics modeling and action generation into specialized experts, reducing active computation during action-only inference and achieving 85 ms inference latency on a local RTX 4090 setup. In addition, we employ an agent-based AutoResearch pipeline to systematically search training configurations, enabling more efficient identification of optimal experimental setups while reducing the time and manual intervention required for hyperparameter tuning. Experiments and ablations show that GigaWorld-Policy-0.5 preserves the training benefits of future visual dynamics while improving inference efficiency for robot control.

AeroMap3D: Anchoring Monocular UAV 6-DoF Localization to Visual-Geometric-Semantic Map Priors

AeroMap3D:将单目无人机6自由度定位锚定到视觉-几何-语义地图先验
Deng, Zhiyun, Sentis, Luis
Abstract
We present AeroMap3D, a monocular 6-DoF UAV localization system that anchors onboard imagery to visual, geometric, and semantic map priors for GNSS-denied navigation. AeroMap3D addresses two fundamental challenges in map-referenced aerial localization: the cross-view discrepancy between UAV imagery and satellite maps, and the structural inconsistency between bare-earth digital elevation models (DEMs) and urban scenes. First, we introduce a lightweight adapter that enables a dense matcher pretrained on internet-scale generic data to perform reliable UAV-to-map registration without finetuning. By estimating the scale ratio and yaw offset between the UAV image and map tile, the adapter removes the dominant geometric misalignment induced by altitude, camera field of view, and heading before dense correspondence estimation. Second, AeroMap3D lifts 2D UAV-map correspondences onto DEM terrain while using OpenStreetMap annotations to reject semantically unreliable matches before RANSAC-PnP pose estimation, thereby reducing errors caused by unmodeled building heights and off-nadir structures. Delayed map-based pose measurements are further fused with relative-motion priors using a delayed-state EKF for continuous trajectory estimation. Without UAV-Terra3D retraining or tuning, AeroMap3D localizes all trajectories across eight Austin sites within 50 m and achieves 5.88 m mean 3D error over 55 km of flight.

Industrial Dexterity Benchmark: A Hardware-Software Benchmarking Platform for Industrial Dexterous Manipulation

工业灵巧性基准:用于工业灵巧操作的硬件-软件基准测试平台
He, Honglu, Laufer, Jacob, Zheng, Zhiwu, Elkan-gonzalez, David, Goyal, Raman, Li, Xinyi, Lu, Su, Musa, Mishek, Saat, Berke, Tan, Nicolas, Prendergast, Colm
Abstract
Dexterous manipulation remains a critical bottleneck in industrial automation; tasks such as cable routing, connector insertion, and precision assembly still rely heavily on manual labor despite decades of robotics research. This work presents a progression from classical, modular robotics pipelines toward an end-to-end multimodal imitation-learning framework for industrial dexterous manipulation. As a part of this work, we introduce three key contributions: a set of Industrial Dexterity Benchmark (IDB) boards aimed to mimic datacenter cable management, automotive cable harnesses, and gearbox assembly tasks; a scalable imitation learning framework (DAG-ROS); and a multimodal diffusion-based policy framework (AG-iDP3) that creates models fusing RGB images, point clouds, joint positions, and wrist-frame wrench data. Focusing on the datacenter cable manipulation board, we evaluate the performance of a task involving cleaning a single cable over variations of an end-to-end AI policy using 48 trials per configuration. The best performing configuration, a multimodal expansion Diffusion Policy (DP), includes a multi-view RGB image source passed through an R3M encoder and reaches a 78% grasp and insert combined task success rate. This performance marks a significant improvement over the 36% observed from the single-camera RGB DP baseline. Each of the tested configurations requires only approximately 100 teleoperated demonstrations per task phase. These results indicate that the correct learned policy can outperform classical vision and control robotic methods in robustness, generalization, and deployment efficiency, justifying a shift toward scalable robotic automation for high up-time industrial environments.

PhysClaw-0: A Symbiotic Agentic System for Robot Autonomy via Language Corrections

PhysClaw-0:通过语言修正实现机器人自主性的共生智能系统

Abstract
Autonomous data collection governs the volume and quality of real-world trajectories for manipulation policy learning. Existing pipelines reduce human effort via self-resetting, VLM verification, or language-guided correction, yet episode-scoped fixes must be reissued whenever the same failure recurs, so oversight cost grows with session length rather than with the number of distinct problems. We present PhysClaw-0, a human-robot symbiotic agentic system in which corrections are retained and reused across rounds. The collection loop collects, verifies, and resets autonomously, pausing for a remote operator only when a phase exhausts an explicit retry budget. An LLM parser maps each natural-language utterance to a structured adjustment stored in Corrective Memory, so addressed failure modes typically need not be corrected again under the same conditions. On a real-robot desktop-clearing testbed, PhysClaw-0 matches teleoperation episode success while reducing human working time to 16%. Language corrections improve verifier-human agreement in all four evaluated settings and raise average single-attempt success from 12.5% to 47.5% (arm-selection: 20.0% to 50.0%). Policies fine-tuned on PhysClaw-0 data match teleoperation-trained policy success at a fraction of collection human cost.

C-Norm: Cell-Distribution Normalization Enables Precision Recognition of Medical-Cell Image

C-Norm:细胞分布归一化促进医学细胞图像的精确识别
Qianl, Yang, Xiany, Liu, Daw, Dai, Jing, Chen, Xiaoj, Shen, Kaiw, Fu, Ming, Tang, Dongl, Zou
Abstract
ThinPrep Cytologic Test (TCT) enables early cervical cancer screening, but manual reading is time-consuming and yields inconsistent diagnostic results among cytopathologists. Existing AI detection models perform poorly under real clinical conditions, primarily restricted by two key constraints: unbalanced spatial distribution of cell populations in TCT slides, and limited high-quality annotated cytology data relying on professional pathologist labeling. To address these limitations, we propose a Cell-Distribution Normalization (C-Norm) method. By decoupling abnormal and normal cells from the original TCT images and re-synthesizing them, this method ensures a uniform distribution of cell populations, thereby mitigating generalization degradation caused by distribution bias. Building upon this, we integrate the YOLOv12 framework with a DINOv3 module. This hybrid architecture leverages the advanced detection capability of YOLO models and the superior feature representations of DINOv3 to capture subtle morphological nuances essential for precise recognition of TCT images. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance, significantly outperforming mainstream detection algorithms.

Abstract
We introduce Boogu-Image-0.1, an open-source unified multimodal understanding and generation model family, comprising Base, Turbo, Edit, and Edit-Turbo variants. It delivers competitive performance in high-quality text-to-image generation, fast inference, instruction-based editing, and bilingual (Chinese-English) text rendering. Closed-source multimodal systems like Nano-Banana-Pro and GPT-Image-2 achieve strong performance through system-level integration rather than a single model, yet their internal practices remain largely undisclosed. In this work, we demonstrate that targeted improvements in model understanding, data quality, and training pipelines, coupled with agentic inference-time scaling, can substantially enhance generation and editing performance even under highly constrained compute budgets. Comprehensive evaluations show that Boogu-Image-0.1 consistently matches or surpasses other open-source models across standard benchmarks, and achieves results approaching leading closed-source systems. Notably, this is accomplished with only 208.62 million unique images. The base model's theoretical training cost is only approximately \$400K. We share practical discussions that we believe are valuable to the broader research community, and release weights, code, and recipes under Apache 2.0 to advance the open ecosystem for unified multimodal understanding and generation.

A Masked Autoencoder Approach to Unsupervised Steel Surface Defect Recognition

一种基于掩码自编码器的无监督钢铁表面缺陷识别方法
Patel, Shrey
Abstract
Automated visual inspection of steel surface defects is a recurring quality control task in which labeled defect data is scarce and costly to obtain, while unlabeled surface images are abundant, which motivates self supervised methods that learn useful representations without class labels. A Transformer based Masked Autoencoder is used here to learn representations of steel surface defects for unsupervised grouping. During pretraining, 75% of the input image patches are randomly masked, and a lightweight decoder reconstructs the masked regions from the visible 25%. The encoder is trained jointly with an auxiliary defect localization objective, used only as a training signal and not evaluated as a detector. The decoder reaches a structural similarity score of 0.92 and a mean squared error of 0.47. Features from the pretrained encoder are then clustered using UMAP for dimensionality reduction and Agglomerative clustering, reaching a Hungarian matched accuracy of 91.3% against the six known defect categories.

MGFace: Mask-Gated Face Matching via Conditional Similarity Routing

MGFace:通过条件相似性路由的口罩门控人脸匹配
Che, Huy, Trinh, Hoang-Minh, Phan, Dinh-Duy, Vu, Duc-Lung
Abstract
Face identification has achieved remarkable performance under normal conditions. Yet, its accuracy often degrades significantly when query faces are partially occluded, especially by facial masks. Existing re-ranking approaches improve robustness by exploiting patch-level similarities. Still, they often rely on costly, fine-grained matching mechanisms, which limit their efficiency in large-scale retrieval scenarios. In this paper, we propose MGFace, a mask-gated face identification pipeline that predicts the mask status of a query face and conditionally routes the similarity computation accordingly. Specifically, MGFace distinguishes between masked and unmasked queries, applies global embedding matching to unmasked queries, and activates mask-aware patch-level re-ranking only for masked queries. This design focuses on reliable upper-face regions while avoiding unnecessary fine-grained computation. Experiments on the extended LFW-Mask dataset show that MGFace achieves over 80% identification accuracy with the FaceNet backbone and over 90% with the ArcFace backbone. Compared with a previous EMD-based re-ranking method, MGFace achieves better identification performance while reducing query time by approximately 20x. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of MGFace in improving masked-face identification accuracy with low computational overhead.

Self-Supervised Visual Representation Learning: Pretrain-Finetuning or Joint Training?

自监督视觉表征学习:预训练-微调还是联合训练?
Munia, Nusrat, Ward, Tyler, Nayla, Nishat, Massey, Matthew A., Imran, Abdullah-Al-Zubaer
Abstract
Self-supervision is a powerful technique for learning visual representations from unlabeled data. Existing techniques primarily adopt a two-stage approach for self-supervised learning (SSL): a pretraining stage on unlabeled data followed by a finetuning stage on labeled data. While this pipeline has demonstrated extreme effectiveness, the interaction between self-supervised and supervised learning objectives remains insufficiently understood. In this work, we systematically investigate whether jointly optimizing the self-supervised and supervised objectives during training provides a better alternative. We compare two training paradigms: (1) the aforementioned pretraining followed by finetuning (PFT) and (2) joint training (JT), where self-supervised and supervised losses are optimized simultaneously in the same network. Across eight representative SSL methods and diverse computer vision tasks on natural, medical, crisis response, and remote sensing data, we evaluate performance under varying percentages of labeled data. Our results reveal that the relative effectiveness of PFT and JT depends strongly on the task at hand, the availability of labeled data, and the complexity of the domain. We find that JT consistently improves data and training efficiency while being robust in low-label settings, while PFT is more reliable in more specialized domains. We further analyze representation quality, robustness, and cross-domain generalization, providing new insights into how self-supervised and supervised objectives interact during optimization. We establish a comprehensive empirical benchmark for hybrid SSL-based semi-supervised learning and offer practical guidance for selecting appropriate training strategies across diverse vision applications.

Continuously Evolving Deepfake Detection: An Architecture and Public-Benchmark Evaluation of a Dynamic Detection System

持续演变的深伪检测:动态检测系统的架构与公共基准评估

Abstract
Deepfake detectors that achieve near-perfect scores on academic benchmarks collapse on real-world content: recent in-the-wild evaluations report AUC drops of 45-50% for state-of-the-art open-source models. We argue this gap is structural: static detectors are trained once against a moving generative frontier. We present BitMind Forensics (BMF), trained through Bittensor SN34, an open adversarial competition that continually refreshes the training distribution. We evaluate one dated export comprising image, general-video, and human-video checkpoints across nineteen public datasets: the canonical face-swap suites (FaceForensics++, Celeb-DF v1/v2/++, DFDC, DFD, UADFV, DF40) and recent in-the-wild and AI-generated-media benchmarks (Sumsub, Deepfake-Eval-2024, WildRF, Community Forensics, AIGCDetectBench, GenImage, AI-GenBench, AIGIBench, RAID, GenVidBench, GenVideo-100K). BMF reaches 0.936 AUC on Sumsub's original images and 0.872 pooled AUC over its full four-condition manipulation battery (1.4M images), staying robust under perturbation (0.855 JPEG, 0.799 downscaled), while GPEN enhancement improves detection (0.996). On Deepfake-Eval-2024, it matches the best commercial detector on images (0.915 vs 0.90) and exceeds it on video (0.822 vs 0.79), far above the best open-source detectors (0.56 and 0.63). It reaches 0.991 AUC on a 21-generator AI-image panel and 0.918 on GenVidBench, and exceeds the FF++-trained frontier on DFDC (0.947 vs 0.843) and Celeb-DF v2 (0.9985 vs 0.956), both contamination-audited, with statistical parity on Celeb-DF++. In a temporal study, successive dated exports improve on held-out media from generators absent from the static baseline's training (image 0.842 to 0.902; video 0.864 to 0.936). Our evaluation harness is public, and at publication the production API serves the exact evaluated snapshot for independent verification.

Active Learning for Efficient Annotation of Surgical Videos with Weak Supervision

基于弱监督的手术视频高效标注的主动学习
Dendukuri, Manasa, Jogan, Matjaz, Hashimoto, Daniel A., Liao, Guiqiu
Abstract
Precise spatial-temporal annotation of laparoscopic videos is time-consuming and requires expert knowledge. We propose a human-in-the-loop knowledge acquisition framework that combines active learning with dual-loss optimization to significantly reduce the annotation effort needed for automatic localization and segmentation of objects in the surgical field. Our method employs a foundation model to generate temporally consistent class activation maps (CAMs) from video using two complementary training objectives: a weak supervision loss on video-level tool presence labels for weakly annotated data, and an image-level mask loss on human-corrected annotations obtained through active learning. Rather than requiring dense pixel-level annotation upfront, our pipeline iteratively proposes pseudo-masks that guide the expert annotator to refine the knowledge previously captured by the model. We demonstrate that our framework reduces the effort of surgical video annotation by 50% by the end of training in comparison to fully manual annotation. Through eliminating the need for large, fully annotated datasets from the start, this framework enables scalability to the development of surgical tool segmentation models. This iterative human-in-the-loop refinement supports efficient knowledge acquisition with minimal expert input, providing a practical and deployable strategy for expanding tool segmentation to larger, more diverse datasets and real-world clinical settings.

Just-In-Time Scene Graph Growth: Combating Perceptual Saturation in Long-Horizon Robotics

即时场景图增长:应对长时间跨度机器人中的感知饱和
Chang, Yue, Chen, Rufeng, Tian, Yifan, Huang, Dazhi, Zhang, Zhaofan, Chen, Yi, Zhang, Wenze, Chen, Li, Xiong, Hui, Xie, Sihong
Abstract
While 3D Scene Graphs (3DSGs) provide crucial structured representations for embodied agents, conventional Ahead-of-Time, build-everything-then-filter pipelines conflict with the real-time, low-latency demands of edge platforms, inducing a perceptual saturation effect via severe observation redundancy. To resolve this, we present JITOMA (Just-In-Time On-demand Memory Activation), a closed-loop framework that unifies task reasoning, perception, and memory into a just-in-time growth process. Instead of exhaustively mapping the entire environment, JITOMA leverages a top-down task heatmap at the frontend to filter continuous observations, routing minimal streams to maintain a global foundation of low-cost, dormant anchors. Upon a cognitive query, the backend Large Language Model (LLM) parses the robotic intent to dynamically awaken task-relevant anchors, triggering resource-intensive operations -- such as dense node captioning and functional inference -- exclusively within the activated local subgraph. To evaluate these dynamic capabilities and study perceptual saturation trade-offs, we introduce JITOMA-Bench, a comprehensive suite for long-horizon multi-tasking and complex multi-step reasoning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that JITOMA substantially reduces active graph size and captioning latency, while maintaining stable processing time under long-horizon task switching.

AffectFlow-DINO: Uncertainty-Aware Multi-Task Affect Estimation via Conditional Rectified Flow

AffectFlow-DINO:通过条件整流流实现的不确定性感知多任务情感估计
Bekhouche, Salah Eddine, Sellam, Abdellah Zakaria, Dornaika, Fadi, Hadid, Abdenour
Abstract
We present \textbf{AffectFlow-DINO}, a multi-task learning system for the 11th ABAW challenge that extends a standard deterministic architecture with a conditional rectified-flow head to model the inherent ambiguity of in-the-wild facial behavior. Instead of predicting a single affect estimate, the model learns a conditional generative distribution, enabling uncertainty-aware one-to-many predictions through Monte Carlo sampling. The system jointly estimates continuous valence-arousal, classifies eight facial expressions, and detects twelve Action Units from static face images. Built on a frozen DINOv3 ViT-S/16 backbone, extensive ablation studies show that rectified-flow decoding consistently improves deterministic prediction, particularly for valence-arousal estimation (CCC-V $+0.058$). We further show that post-hoc threshold calibration effectively recovers performance on severely imbalanced rare classes (e.g., Fear: $3.8\% \rightarrow 33.1\%$) without retraining. Combined with backbone fine-tuning and flow retuning, the final model achieves $\mathbf{P_{MTL}=1.177}$, substantially outperforming the official challenge baseline of $P_{MTL}=0.45$.

Differentiable Polarized Path Tracing

可微分偏振路径追踪
Rao, Pramod, Riviere, Jérémy, Zhou, Xilong, Ghosh, Abhijeet, Meka, Abhimitra, Beeler, Thabo, Habermann, Marc, Theobalt, Christian, Vicini, Delio
Abstract
Physically based differentiable rendering has proven to be a powerful tool for inverse rendering problems (e.g., 3D reconstruction, reflectance estimation, lighting estimation). However, most existing methods operate solely on radiometric intensity, discarding valuable polarization cues that constrain scene geometry and material properties. While forward simulation of polarized light is well-defined via Mueller-Stokes calculus, extending reverse-mode differentiation to this domain presents significant challenges. The rank-deficient nature of common polarimetric operators, such as linear polarizers and diffuse reflections, violates the invertibility assumptions of standard gradient estimators like path replay backpropagation and results in numerical instability. We address this by proposing a robust, polarization-aware differentiable path tracing method. Our approach estimates unbiased gradients through a combination of path replay and local caching. This formulation enables efficient and stable optimization of material and lighting parameters in complex scenes, broadening the applicability of physically based inverse rendering.

FOLIO: Focused Semantic Memory for Streaming Video Understanding

FOLIO:用于流媒体视频理解的聚焦语义记忆
Fan, Haoyang, Parikh, Dhruv, Ramachandran, Anvitha, Gobriel, Sameh, Jain, Nilesh, Kannan, Rajgopal, Prasanna, Viktor
Abstract
In online streaming video understanding, a video stream continues to arrive and queries may be issued at any time. Because streaming frames grow without bound, the system must continuously compress and retain information from the observed video prefix while future frames and future queries remain unknown. The core challenge is deciding what information to retain and how to organize the maintained history: as this history grows with the stream, memory cost increases and many redundant visual details are retained, whereas later queries often depend on specific entities, actions, and their temporal changes. To address this challenge, we introduce FOLIO, a training-free focused semantic memory system that records important parts of the stream in higher detail while keeping surrounding context compact. As the stream arrives, FOLIO updates memory at the segment level, guided by a dynamic focus state, combining a short-term visual buffer with a long-term semantic memory organized around observed entities and linked to a visual-evidence cache. At query time, lightweight hybrid retrieval combines direct matching over the structured memory with semantic query expansion. FOLIO achieves state-of-the-art performance, reaching 82.0/69.1 Perception/Backward accuracy on OVO-Bench with Qwen3-VL-8B and 74.5 overall accuracy on StreamingBench, while substantially reducing the cost of maintaining streaming memory by reserving detailed records for focused entities and storing surrounding context compactly.

在在线流媒体视频理解中,视频流不断到达,查询可能随时发出。由于流媒体帧数量无限增长,系统必须持续压缩并保留观察到的视频前缀中的信息,同时未来的帧和查询仍然未知。核心挑战在于决定保留哪些信息以及如何组织维护的历史:随着历史随着流的增长,内存成本增加,许多冗余的视觉细节被保留,而后续查询往往依赖于特定的实体、动作及其时间变化。为了解决这一挑战,我们提出了FOLIO,一种无训练的聚焦语义记忆系统,它以更高的细节记录流的重要部分,同时保持周围上下文的紧凑。当流到达时,FOLIO在段级别更新内存,受动态聚焦状态的指导,将短期视觉缓冲区与围绕观察到的实体组织的长期语义记忆结合,并链接到视觉证据缓存。在查询时,轻量级混合检索结合了对结构化内存的直接匹配与语义查询扩展。FOLIO实现了最先进的性能,在OVO-Bench上以Qwen3-VL-8B达到了82.0/69.1的感知/向后准确率,并在StreamingBench上达到了74.5的整体准确率,同时通过为聚焦实体保留详细记录并紧凑存储周围上下文,显著降低了维护流媒体记忆的成本。

Improving Medical Image Generative Models with Fr\'echet Distance Loss

通过Fréchet距离损失改进医学图像生成模型
Marshall, Andrew, Xu, Xuanang, Zhang, Xiaoran, Wang, Rui, Staib, Lawrence, Duncan, James
Abstract
Diffusion generative models have demonstrated immense potential for synthetic medical image generation. However, these models often struggle to capture complex morphological characteristics of heterogeneous tumors with irregular boundaries, limiting their utility for downstream clinical tasks such as segmentation. This limitation stems from the standard denoising objective: minimizing a per-pixel error, which smooths high-variance irregular structures characteristic of tumors. To address this, we propose finetuning these generative models with Fr\'echet Distance loss (FD-loss). FD-loss aligns the first and second order feature statistics of real and generated images in a pretrained encoder space, encouraging the generator to capture complex structural variations characteristic of heterogeneous tumors. We integrate FD-loss across diverse architectural settings, using both natural- and medical-image encoders on multiple liver and brain cancer datasets spanning CT and MRI modalities. Downstream segmentation networks trained on our FD-regularized synthetic data consistently achieve superior performance, improving tumor DSC by $>$$5\%$ over unregularized synthetic augmentation alone. Qualitative analysis suggests these gains are associated with more faithful tumor synthesis and fewer segmentation hallucinations. Our results show FD-loss as an effective regularizer for medical image generative models to improve clinical workflows.

扩散生成模型在合成医学图像生成方面展现了巨大的潜力。然而,这些模型通常难以捕捉具有不规则边界的异质肿瘤的复杂形态特征,从而限制了它们在下游临床任务(如分割)中的应用。这一限制源于标准去噪目标:最小化每个像素的误差,这会平滑肿瘤特征的高方差不规则结构。为了解决这一问题,我们提出使用Fréchet距离损失(FD-loss)对这些生成模型进行微调。FD-loss在预训练编码器空间中对真实图像和生成图像的第一和第二阶特征统计进行对齐,鼓励生成器捕捉异质肿瘤特征的复杂结构变化。我们在多种架构设置中整合FD-loss,使用自然图像和医学图像编码器,针对多个肝脏和脑癌数据集(涵盖CT和MRI模态)进行实验。在我们的FD正则化合成数据上训练的下游分割网络始终实现了更优的性能,相比于仅使用未正则化的合成增强,肿瘤的DSC提高了超过5%。定性分析表明,这些提升与更真实的肿瘤合成和更少的分割幻觉相关。我们的结果表明,FD-loss是医学图像生成模型的有效正则化器,有助于改善临床工作流程。

Accuracy Without Grounding: Diagnosing Visual Dependency Dissociation in Video LLM Benchmarks

无基础的准确性:诊断视频大语言模型基准中的视觉依赖解离
Lee, Jae Joong
Abstract
Benchmark accuracy in video large language models (LLMs) is often treated as evidence of visual understanding. We audit this assumption across twenty models spanning 2-78B parameters and ten architecture families. We introduce the Visual Dependency Gap (VDG), the difference in per-question correctness between original-video and black-screen conditions. Paired McNemar tests on MVBench show that accuracy and visual dependency are separable: models differ on original video (p = 0.0003) but not on black screens (p = 0.53). Across models, task-type rankings are stable: Attribute Perception is strongly visual, whereas Temporal Reasoning approaches the language-only baseline. A diagnostic ladder from black screen to single frame, shuffled frames, and original video reveals that frame diversity supplies most of the visual benefit, while temporal order contributes near-zero accuracy across sixteen open-weight models. An ablation from 0.5 to 24 FPS rules out sparse sampling as the cause. H.264 experiments further show that stable aggregate accuracy conceals bidirectional question-level answer flips. The diagnostic also generalizes to four API-accessed models, whose VDG values range from 0.025 to 0.315. These results motivate VDG as a standard audit for whether video benchmarks measure visually grounded capability. Code is available at https://github.com/JaeLee18/accuracy-without-grounding.

视频大语言模型(LLMs)的基准准确性常被视为视觉理解的证据。我们对二十个模型进行了审计,这些模型的参数范围从2亿到78亿,涵盖十种架构类型。我们引入了视觉依赖差距(Visual Dependency Gap, VDG),即在原始视频和黑屏条件下每个问题的正确率差异。对MVBench进行的配对McNemar检验表明,准确性与视觉依赖是可分离的:模型在原始视频上的表现存在差异(p = 0.0003),而在黑屏上则没有差异(p = 0.53)。在各模型中,任务类型的排名是稳定的:属性感知(Attribute Perception)具有强烈的视觉特征,而时间推理(Temporal Reasoning)接近仅基于语言的基线。从黑屏到单帧、打乱帧和原始视频的诊断阶梯显示,帧的多样性提供了大部分视觉效益,而时间顺序在十六个开放权重模型中几乎不贡献准确性。将帧率从0.5调整到24 FPS的消融实验排除了稀疏采样作为原因。H.264实验进一步表明,稳定的总体准确性掩盖了双向问题级别答案的翻转。该诊断方法还可以推广到四个API访问的模型,其VDG值范围从0.025到0.315。这些结果促使VDG成为评估视频基准是否测量视觉基础能力的标准审计工具。代码可在 https://github.com/JaeLee18/accuracy-without-grounding 获取。

Reflecting Process Expertise in Procedural Material Generation

在程序性材料生成中反映过程专业知识
Gupta, Kunal, Joshi, Gaurav, Chen, Yen-Ru, Jain, Seemandhar, Mehta, Ishit, Chandraker, Manmohan
Abstract
Procedural material creation underpins applications in digital content creation, visual effects, and 3D asset design. Achieving high-quality results requires more than reproducing node graphs -- it demands understanding the process by which experts construct materials. We formulate procedural material generation as retrieval-time process reasoning over expert demonstrations, elevating process to a first-class representation beyond graph-only synthesis. Concretely, we represent expert workflows as process traces: textual records of construction steps, parameters, and design intent. To instantiate this idea, we use a pretrained LLM-based ProcessSynthesizer to synthesize a process trace aligned with a user's intent and a pretrained LLM-based Compiler to ground the process trace into an executable Blender material graph. Because procedural expertise is most naturally conveyed through demonstrations, we leverage tutorial videos as a source of process knowledge and extract textual, LLM-compatible traces using automated video analysis tools. In an expert study with five Blender artists (avg. 7.5 years of experience), materials generated by reflecting expert demonstrations were found to produce workflows requiring fewer edits, and more closely match professional design strategies than methods operating solely on static artifacts. A user study with 150 participants further shows that our approach achieves superior generation and editing performance compared to prior procedural systems.

SARFA: Segment Anything with Radiomic Feature Alignment

SARFA:通过放射组学特征对齐进行任意分割
Ward, Tyler, Imran, Abdullah
Abstract
The Segment Anything Model (SAM) has demonstrated strong generalizability across a variety of segmentation tasks. However, SAM often struggles in situations where the target to be segmented is ambiguous. This poses a problem in medical imaging, where accurate delineation of targets such as tumors is vital, but even expert radiologists can disagree on the appropriate boundary for a target. Addressing this, we propose SARFA (Segment Anything with Radiomic Feature Alignment), a novel framework for improved medical image segmentation. Via probabilistic prompting, SARFA generates a diverse set of plausible masks for each input image and optimizes them with a radiomics-driven training objective based on Fr\'echet Radiomic Distance (FRD) and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). By minimizing the FRD between masked predicted and ground truth regions within each image, SARFA encourages segmentation outputs whose anatomical and textural characteristics align with clinically meaningful ground truth representations, without relying solely on pixel-level overlap. Evaluated on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) benchmarks, SARFA outperforms existing ambiguous segmentation methods, demonstrating the effectiveness of radiomic feature alignment and DPO-style candidate mask ranking as a training objective. Our code is available at https://github.com/tbwa233/SARFA.

Delving into the Temporal Challenges of Unified Video Protection Against Image-to-Video and Fine-Tuning-based Customization

深入探讨统一视频保护在图像到视频和基于微调定制中的时间挑战
Huang, Yuxin, Hong, Ziming, Gong, Mingming, Wang, Wanyu, Zhang, Jing, Liu, Tongliang
Abstract
Recent diffusion-based video generation models have enabled high-quality personalized video customization through both tuning-based pipelines, which fine-tune a video diffusion model, and reference-based pipelines such as image-to-video generation. However, these capabilities raise serious concerns about personal privacy, identity ownership and intellectual property protection. Existing anti-customization works focus on protecting images, while protection for videos against both reference- and tuning-based customization remains largely underexplored. Protecting videos in this setting raises three challenges: (i) Image-level perturbations, optimized frame by frame, cannot survive temporal compression by 3D video VAE. (ii) A video-level perturbation optimized on a single video is vulnerable to temporal editing and fails to protect unseen videos. (iii) Temporally inconsistent perturbations are not robust to temporal attacks. To address these challenges, we propose Temporally Consistent Universal Adversarial Perturbations (TC-UAP), the first protection method against both reference- and tuning-based video customization. TC-UAP optimizes an identity-level multi-frame UAP over sliding windows from multiple videos, accounting for local temporal dependencies induced by temporal compression in video VAE and enabling a single perturbation to protect unseen videos of varying lengths. Moreover, we introduce intrinsic temporal modeling and an extrinsic surrogate temporal-attack loss, which make the perturbation temporally consistent and robust to unseen temporal attacks. Empirically, quantitative and qualitative results show that TC-UAP achieves the strongest identity protection compared with existing methods under both reference- and tuning-based video customization, and remains robust under multiple unseen temporal attacks.

近期基于扩散的视频生成模型通过调优管道(对视频扩散模型进行微调)和基于参考的管道(如图像到视频生成)实现了高质量的个性化视频定制。然而,这些能力引发了关于个人隐私、身份所有权和知识产权保护的严重担忧。现有的反定制工作主要集中在保护图像,而针对视频的参考和调优定制的保护仍然在很大程度上未被探索。在这种情况下保护视频面临三个挑战:(i)逐帧优化的图像级扰动无法在3D视频变分自编码器(VAE)中抵御时间压缩。(ii)在单个视频上优化的视频级扰动容易受到时间编辑的影响,无法保护未见过的视频。(iii)时间不一致的扰动对时间攻击不具备鲁棒性。为了解决这些挑战,我们提出了时间一致的通用对抗扰动(Temporally Consistent Universal Adversarial Perturbations, TC-UAP),这是首个针对参考和基于微调的视频定制的保护方法。TC-UAP在多个视频的滑动窗口上优化身份级多帧UAP,考虑了视频VAE中时间压缩引起的局部时间依赖性,使得单一扰动能够保护不同长度的未见视频。此外,我们引入了内在时间建模和外在替代时间攻击损失,使得扰动在时间上保持一致并对未见的时间攻击具有鲁棒性。实证结果表明,TC-UAP在参考和基于微调的视频定制下相比现有方法实现了最强的身份保护,并在多种未见的时间攻击下保持鲁棒性。

Marker-free deformable registration and fusion for augmented reality-guided positive margin localization during tumor resection surgery

无标记变形配准与融合用于增强现实引导的肿瘤切除手术中的阳性边缘定位
Yang, Yue, Benson, Annie, Chabanas, Matthieu, Slagle, Jason, Myles, Thomas, Weinger, Matthew B., Heiselman, Jon S., Miga, Michael I., Topf, Michael, Wu, Jie Ying
Abstract
Positive margins in head and neck oncologic surgery require mapping specimen-side pathology findings to the patient resection bed. This is challenging because pathologists identify the positive margin on slices of the resected, deformed specimen, while surgeons must relocate the corresponding site on the resection bed using only verbal descriptions and no visual guidance. We present a marker-free augmented reality (AR) workflow for mapping a margin label from a three-dimensional specimen scan to the resection bed. The method combines contour-constrained deformation, residual alignment to a depth scan, surface-based fusion to a head-mounted display, and target projection onto the reconstructed bed. Bead-suture correspondences estimate specimen deformation, whereas patient-to-display fusion does not require external fiducial markers. Following formative experiments, five residents and surgeons performed cadaveric cheek and scalp re-resection tasks under verbal guidance, verbal guidance with specimen examination, and AR guidance. Deformation target errors were $7.63 \pm 3.74$ mm for the cheek and $3.72 \pm 1.02$ mm for the scalp; residual specimen-to-bed distances were $2.43 \pm 2.15$ mm and $2.19 \pm 1.06$ mm, respectively. Fusion error did not differ significantly between marker-free and marker-based methods on either cadaver; overall marker-free fusion error was $2.15 \pm 0.87$ mm. End-to-end margin localization error decreased from $21.40 \pm 3.84$ mm with verbal guidance and $16.09 \pm 4.30$ mm with specimen examination to $6.19 \pm 1.79$ mm with AR guidance ($p < 0.001$).

在头颈部肿瘤外科手术中,阳性边缘需要将标本侧的病理发现映射到患者的切除床上。这一过程具有挑战性,因为病理学家在切除的变形标本的切片上识别阳性边缘,而外科医生则必须仅通过口头描述而没有视觉指导来重新定位切除床上的相应位置。我们提出了一种无标记的增强现实(AR)工作流程,将边缘标签从三维标本扫描映射到切除床。该方法结合了轮廓约束变形、与深度扫描的残余对齐、基于表面的融合到头戴显示器以及在重建床上的目标投影。珠子-缝合对应关系用于估计标本变形,而患者与显示器的融合不需要外部基准标记。经过初步实验,五名住院医生和外科医生在口头指导、口头指导结合标本检查以及AR指导下执行了尸体面颊和头皮的再切除任务。面颊的变形目标误差为 $7.63 imes 3.74$ mm,头皮为 $3.72 imes 1.02$ mm;残余标本与切除床的距离分别为 $2.43 imes 2.15$ mm 和 $2.19 imes 1.06$ mm。无标记和有标记方法在任一尸体上的融合误差没有显著差异;整体无标记融合误差为 $2.15 imes 0.87$ mm。端到端的边缘定位误差从口头指导下的 $21.40 imes 3.84$ mm 和标本检查下的 $16.09 imes 4.30$ mm 降低到 AR 指导下的 $6.19 imes 1.79$ mm($p < 0.001$)。在线融合所需时间为 $5.23 imes 0.34$ s。这些结果表明无标记的 AR 指导在阳性边缘定位中有效,并支持更精确的肿瘤切除。

Audio-Text Cross-Attention with Psycholinguistic Support Features for Ambivalence/Hesitancy Recognition

基于心理语言学支持特征的音频-文本交叉注意力模型用于矛盾/犹豫识别
Martins, Luiz F. B. F., Pisaia, Rodrigo W., Girardi, Matheus M., Berkembrock, Isabella, Almeida, João A., Hochuli, André G., Laroca, Rayson, Britto Jr, Alceu S.
Abstract
We present an audio-text system for the Ambivalence/Hesitancy Video Recognition Challenge of the 11th ABAW Competition. The method excludes visual frames and represents each video as overlapping 5-second windows aligned with transcript timestamps. Each window combines a 320-dimensional prosodic audio descriptor, a 768-dimensional emotion-oriented RoBERTa embedding, and 74 handcrafted features capturing uncertainty, hedging, and attitudinal conflict. Audio and text are fused via temporal cross-attention, while support features are injected prior to gated multiple-instance learning (MIL) pooling to modulate the window's importance. Predictions from five independently initialized models are averaged. On the labeled public development set, the ensemble achieved an average precision of 0.875 and a macro-F1 of 0.72. Our source code is publicly available at https://github.com/Liga-de-IA-PUCPR/abaw-11-ah-challenge/.

Detector Confidence Signals Presence Rather Than Occlusion in Cluttered Manipulation

检测器置信度信号指示存在而非遮挡于杂乱的操作中
He, Yuanzhi
Abstract
Occlude a named object until about an eighth of it remains visible, and an open-vocabulary detector's confidence that the object is present barely changes; as the clutter around it grows the confidence can even rise. On real video the detector still reports the object present in 99% of occluded frames, on another instance of the same category. This matters because that confidence is widely read as a visibility signal, used to threshold detections, evaluate open-vocabulary detectors, ground language, retrieve instances, and gate active perception. We audit whether it reflects occlusion by pairing every view with a geometry-segmentation oracle that gives detector-free ground-truth visibility. As true visibility falls from every scene to one in eight, the confidence stays nearly constant and uncorrelated with visibility, and the detector reports the target present in about nine of ten scenes, firing on same-category distractors: it signals that the category is present somewhere, not that the specific target is visible. The failure holds across three detectors (Grounding DINO, OWLv2, and Segment Anything Model 3), nine object categories, two simulators with different renderers and object sets, built and natural occlusion, and real video. Two consequences follow: a confidence-based metric understates the value of resolving occlusion by about ten times (8 against 88 points in our active-perception setting), and a confidence-based gate fires exactly when the object is hidden. No single-view signal we tried, including a realizable localization check, flags the occlusion, because the occluders sit where the target is. We connect the effect to detector miscalibration and object hallucination, release the controlled benchmark, and recommend target-grounded signals for gating and evaluation.

将一个命名对象遮挡,直到大约八分之一的部分可见,开放词汇检测器对该对象存在的置信度几乎没有变化;随着周围杂物的增加,置信度甚至可能上升。在真实视频中,检测器仍然在99%的遮挡帧中报告该对象存在,且为同一类别的另一个实例。这一点很重要,因为该置信度通常被视为可见性信号,用于阈值检测、评估开放词汇检测器、基础语言、检索实例和激活感知。我们通过将每个视图与几何分割神谕配对来审计其是否反映遮挡,该神谕提供无检测器的真实可见性。随着真实可见性从每个场景下降到八分之一,置信度几乎保持不变,并且与可见性无关,检测器在大约十分之九的场景中报告目标存在,并对同类别的干扰物发出信号:它表明该类别在某处存在,而不是特定目标可见。此失败在三种检测器(Grounding DINO、OWLv2 和 Segment Anything Model 3)、九个物体类别、两个具有不同渲染器和物体集的模拟器、构建和自然遮挡以及真实视频中均存在。由此产生两个后果:基于置信度的度量低估了解决遮挡的价值约十倍(在我们的主动感知设置中为8对88分),而基于置信度的门控在对象被隐藏时恰好触发。我们尝试的没有任何单视图信号,包括可实现的定位检查,能够标识遮挡,因为遮挡物位于目标所在的位置。我们将这一效应与检测器的误校准和对象幻觉联系起来,发布了受控基准,并建议使用目标基础信号进行门控和评估。

DiffGI: Differentiable Geometry Images for High-Fidelity Thin-Shell 3D Generation

DiffGI:用于高保真薄壳3D生成的可微分几何图像
Shim, Eungjune, Lee, Hansol, Ju, Eunjung
Abstract
Existing 3D generative models predominantly rely on implicit volumetric representations, which enforce watertight topology and struggle to represent thin-shell and non-manifold geometries such as garments. Geometry image-based approaches offer a surface-centric alternative, but existing methods rely on discrete binary occupancy maps whose resolution-dependent boundary encoding causes staircase artifacts and information loss upon downsampling, while surface reconstruction remains a non-differentiable post-processing step disconnected from the learning pipeline. To address this, we propose Differentiable Geometry Image (DiffGI), an end-to-end 3D-to-2D mapping framework that seamlessly integrates surface representation and geometric optimization. DiffGI replaces binary maps with a continuous 2D Truncated Signed Distance Function (TSDF), which encodes boundary position at subpixel precision within a fixed grid resolution, eliminating resolution-dependent staircase artifacts even under aggressive downsampling. Building on this continuous field, we introduce a differentiable Marching Squares algorithm based on analytical linear interpolation, allowing gradients from 3D surface losses to propagate back to the 2D latent space. Leveraging this differentiable pipeline, we train a DiffGI-VAE augmented with a geometry-aware normal rendering loss to compress complex 3D surfaces into an ultra-compact 32X32 latent space, and instantiate a transformer-based latent diffusion model with a flow-matching objective on top of this space for conditional 3D generation. Extensive experiments on garment and object datasets demonstrate that our method achieves superior reconstruction fidelity and boundary precision compared to prior geometry-image and voxel-based approaches, while requiring significantly fewer computational resources.

RoughNet: Mapping Arctic Sea Ice Roughness Using Diffusion-Based Super-Resolution of Satellite Imagery

RoughNet:基于扩散的卫星图像超分辨率映射北极海冰粗糙度
Cannon, Tessa, Tsamados, Michel, Manescu, Petru, Newman, Thomas, Haas, Christian, Helm, Veit, Chen, Weibin, Scharien, Randall
Abstract
Accurate estimation of landfast sea ice roughness is critical for climate modeling and safe Arctic over-ice travel, yet existing approaches rely on costly airborne surveys or sparse in-situ measurements, limiting spatial coverage and operational scalability. Here we show that high-resolution sea ice topography can be reconstructed directly from optical satellite imagery using a conditional diffusion framework. Our approach, RoughNet, learns to map 10 m Sentinel-2 multispectral images to locally normalized 1 m surface elevation residual fields, enabling fine-scale roughness characterization from widely available satellite data. Trained on airborne LiDAR data from two Arctic regions and evaluated on an unseen third Arctic region, the model generalizes across diverse ice conditions and partially reproduces small-scale topographic structure. The best-performing model achieves an out-of-domain root mean squared error of 9 cm while preserving the statistical and spectral properties of the underlying roughness field. These results demonstrate that generative diffusion models can recover physically meaningful surface structure from optical imagery alone, providing a scalable pathway for high-resolution sea ice mapping and roughness estimation in data-sparse environments.

FM$^2$: Unified Federated Foundation Models for Heterogeneous Multimodal Medical Imaging

FM$^2$: 异构多模态医学影像的统一联邦基础模型
Chen, Shengchao, Shu, Ting
Abstract
Building foundation models for medical imaging requires pooling data across institutions, yet privacy regulations prohibit centralized aggregation. Existing Federated Foundation Models either fine-tune natural-image models with poor medical-domain transfer, or train from scratch within a single modality, lacking the flexibility to unify tasks. We identify an under-explored challenge, Imaging Modality Heterogeneity, where clients operate under two structural regimes: Overlapped (shared modalities with heterogeneous label distributions) and Non-overlapped (fully disjoint modalities per client). We propose FM$^2$, a unified framework that trains the core backbone from scratch to preserve medical domain fidelity while optionally incorporating biomedical pretrained encoders for vision-language alignment. FM$^2$ equips each client with dual Mixture-of-Experts modules (a Class-wise MoE for personalized category knowledge and a Domain-wise MoE for shared cross-modality representations), coupled with a Heterogeneous Modality Alignment (HMA) regularizer that explicitly aligns modality-specific expert parameters, admitting provable $O(1/\sqrt{T})$ convergence and generalization guarantees. FM$^2$ further incorporates Caption-Enhanced Learning (CEL), where locally retained GPT-4o-generated captions serve as a textual semantic bridge enabling representation transfer across clients with disjoint modalities, and demonstrates extensibility to Federated Medical VQA. Experiments on our MIMH benchmark (classification and CEL) and real-world medical VQA datasets confirm consistent superiority over state-of-the-art federated baselines and strong out-of-modality generalization across all three tasks.

AnomExpert: Identifying and Selecting Anatomical Planes for Prenatal Ultrasound Anomaly Diagnosis

AnomExpert:识别和选择产前超声异常诊断的解剖平面
Wang, Jian, Yang, Yang, Pan, Ziheng, Zhu, Xiliang, Zhang, Yuhan, Zhou, Yanfeng, Ni, Dong
Abstract
Life-limiting congenital anomalies require accurate prenatal diagnosis for appropriate clinical decision-making. Prenatal ultrasound (US) examinations involve multiple anatomical planes, and diagnosis depends on identifying anatomical planes and selecting diagnostically relevant planes for each anomaly. Existing automated methods either rely on plane-level annotations or aggregate heterogeneous images without explicitly modeling these diagnostic capabilities. We propose AnomExpert, a prototype-driven framework for prenatal US anomaly diagnosis using only case-level supervision. AnomExpert introduces learnable plane prototypes to organize unordered images into latent representations corresponding to anatomical planes without requiring plane annotations. A disease-aware sparse selection mechanism further selects diagnostically relevant planes for each anomaly. Experiments on a multi-center dataset of 3,654 cases show that AnomExpert consistently outperforms nine representative multi-instance learning methods. Using a ViT-small backbone, it achieves 86.9% accuracy and 84.2% F1-score while maintaining parameter efficiency. These findings indicate that modeling anatomical plane identification and disease-specific plane selection improves weakly supervised multi-plane prenatal US anomaly classification.

MultiAnimate: A Unified Framework for Controllable Multi-Character Animation

MultiAnimate:可控多角色动画的统一框架
Zhang, Zhongyi, Wang, Guangyuan, Hu, Li, Zhou, Wenbo, Zhang, Peng, Wei, Tianyi, Zhang, Weiming, Zhang, Bang, Yu, Nenghai
Abstract
Recent advances in generative models and technological innovations have significantly addressed the fundamental challenges of character image animation. However, existing approaches predominantly focus on character animation from a single reference image, substantially limiting their applicability in scenarios such as multiple character interaction animation. To fill this gap, this paper introduces MultiAnimate, a comprehensive framework that enables concurrent animation of multiple characters within a shared environment while preserving both identity consistency and spatial relationships. The framework achieves these objectives through multiple well-designed mechanisms. First, we incorporate an identity-specific reference net that enables appearance extraction from multiple reference images, distinguishing MultiAnimate from existing approaches constrained to single reference inputs. Second, we implement an identity-aware pose encoder to address the character-pose binding challenge, wherein an attention mechanism enables the network to accurately differentiate and process multiple pose sequences during generation. Third, we introduce an interaction guider module that enhances the framework's capability to handle complex inter-character interactions by leveraging character-specific mask information, serving as an optional component that refines the pose sequences. Extensive experiments and ablation analyses demonstrate our framework's superiority in multiple character animation, particularly in scenarios involving complex motion sequences.

ScanFocus: A Coarse-to-Fine Framework for Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding

ScanFocus:一种粗到细的时空视频定位框架
Chen, Kai, Dai, Ming, Cheng, Wenxuan, Yang, Wankou
Abstract
Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding (STVG) aims to retrieve the visual trajectory of a specific object from a video stream as described by a natural language expression. However, most advanced methods struggle to balance global context modeling with precise boundary localization. Due to the prohibitive computational costs of processing long videos, these approaches typically resort to low-rate temporal downsampling and implicit motion modeling. This inevitably suppresses high-frequency boundary cues and neglects the explicit inter-frame dependencies required for precise boundary delineation. To address these limitations, we present \textbf{ScanFocus}, a novel coarse-to-fine framework that decouples the STVG task into a global spatio-temporal scan and a local boundary focus. Specifically, we utilize a unified vision-language fusion encoder combined with a lightweight Deformable Semantic-Motion Fusion module to efficiently align multimodal features and generate coarse proposals. To recover the suppressed fine-grained details, we introduce the Semantic-Guided Temporal Aggregator (SGTA) in the refinement stage. By densely sampling around coarse boundaries, SGTA explicitly models short-term temporal interactions under semantic guidance, capturing rapid motion changes for precise timestamp regression. Extensive experiments on three widely used benchmarks demonstrate the performance superiority of our proposed method over previous approaches. Code will be released at https://github.com/TenMinutes209/ScanFocus.

时空视频定位(STVG)旨在从视频流中检索特定对象的视觉轨迹,该轨迹由自然语言表达描述。然而,大多数先进的方法在全球上下文建模与精确边界定位之间难以取得平衡。由于处理长视频的计算成本过高,这些方法通常采用低频率的时间下采样和隐式运动建模。这不可避免地抑制了高频边界线索,并忽视了精确边界描绘所需的显式帧间依赖关系。为了解决这些限制,我们提出了 extbf{ScanFocus},一种新颖的粗到细框架,将STVG任务解耦为全局时空扫描和局部边界聚焦。具体而言,我们利用统一的视觉-语言融合编码器,并结合轻量级的可变形语义-运动融合模块,以高效对齐多模态特征并生成粗略提案。为了恢复被抑制的细粒度细节,我们在细化阶段引入了语义引导时间聚合器(SGTA)。通过在粗略边界周围进行密集采样,SGTA在语义引导下显式建模短期时间交互,捕捉快速运动变化以实现精确的时间戳回归。在三个广泛使用的基准测试上的大量实验表明,我们提出的方法在性能上优于之前的方法。代码将发布在 https://github.com/TenMinutes209/ScanFocus。

CLIP-Guided Label-Free Discriminative Region Scoring for Fine-Grained Classification

基于CLIP引导的无标签细粒度分类判别区域评分
Zhu, Yujie
Abstract
Recent vision models such as CLIP and SAM enable training-free segmentation and semantic encoding for fine-grained classification. A common approach is to compare the representations of segmented image regions with the text prompt embeddings of the corresponding labels. However, it remains unclear how different local regions and CLIP-based scoring strategies affect the selection of discriminative evidence, especially when ground-truth labels are unavailable. In this paper, we propose a unified CLIP-guided label-free region scoring framework for fine-grained classification. The framework evaluates cosine similarity-based, margin-based, and entropy-based scoring strategies using both SAM-generated masks and random crops, and introduces two label-free pseudo-label variants based on global image embeddings and local region embeddings. We conduct experiments on five fine-grained classification datasets to systematically compare different region generation methods and scoring strategies. The results show that Soft Negative Margin scoring achieves the strongest performance, and pseudo-label scoring closely approximates true-label performance. Although SAM produces semantically meaningful masks, random-crop-based pseudo-label scoring consistently outperforms SAM-based scoring across all datasets, suggesting that random crops preserve surrounding information and provide more stable semantic context when pseudo-labels are noisy. In addition, SAM masks benefit from aggregating embeddings from all regions, whereas random crops tend to perform better with a smaller top-k subset. These findings provide new insights for fine-grained classification.

DreamSat-Pose: Spacecraft Pose Estimation from Single-View 3D Reconstructions and Learned 2D-3D Feature Matching

Uwumukiza, Josiane, Zhao, Jocelyn, Lavezzi, Giovanni, Battaglia, Giacomo, Panicucci, Paolo, Wijayatunga, Minduli C., Rodriguez-Fernandez, Victor, Linares, Richard
Abstract
6-DoF pose estimation is a critical task in autonomous rendezvous and proximity operations. In the case of an unknown target, this task becomes challenging as it shall be paired with the reconstruction of the target shape model. In this article, we propose a novel framework for single-shot shape and pose estimation of unknown spacecraft objects. Given a single image, we first reconstruct a 3D shape model of the target, then estimate the relative six-degrees-of-freedom pose by learning dense 2D-3D correspondences. The image features are extracted using a frozen DINOv3 vision transformer, while the geometric features are computed from the reconstructed point cloud using a trainable dynamic graph convolutional neural network encoder. A dual-stream transformer matcher refines descriptors through alternating self- and cross-attention, producing soft correspondences that are passed to a Perspective-$n$-Point solver for pose recovery. We evaluate the method on the SPE3R dataset and consider FoundationPose as a representative baseline for current state-of-the-art capabilities. Results show reliable pose estimates achieving 0.157 degrees mean pointing error using only a single image and reconstructed geometry, demonstrating strong generalization to unseen spacecraft.

Symbiosis-Inspired Knowledge Distillation for Incremental Object Detection

基于共生启发的增量目标检测知识蒸馏
Zeng, Mingyue, Cheng, De, Xu, Zhipeng, Wang, Huaijie, Wang, Nannan, Gao, Xinbo
Abstract
Incremental object detection (IOD) aims to extend detectors to new categories while retaining previously acquired knowledge. Existing methods often adopt a class incremental learning perspective, separating feature spaces to sharpen decision boundaries. However, this separation-oriented paradigm may overlook object symbiosis in detection, where co-occurrence and occlusion introduce spatial and semantic dependencies that benefit from shared representations. Ignoring these dependencies distorts the shared representations, exacerbates confusion between old and new classes, and accelerates catastrophic forgetting. To address this, we propose Symbiosis-Inspired Knowledge Distillation (SIKD), which explicitly leverages object symbiosis at two complementary levels. Spatial Symbiosis Distillation (SpSD) focuses on symbiotic regions where the old model responds with high overlap to objects in the new task. It preserves generalizable old class cues, suppresses class-specific bias and redundancy, and distills the refined evidence to the new model at matched spatial locations with slot-aligned supervision. Semantic Symbiosis Distillation (SeSD) maintains class level structure by forming confidence weighted prototypes for old classes and aligning their inter class soft ranks over the old class logits, which stabilizes the semantic topology during adaptation. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

GeoAnchor: Collaborative Reasoning via Latent Decomposition for 3D Spatial Understanding

GeoAnchor:通过潜在分解进行协同推理以实现3D空间理解
Li, Hao, Fang, Han, Pan, Zixin, Wei, Xin, Sun, Hongbo, Xu, Jinglin, Lin, Zhiyu, Yuan, Ye, He, Zhongjiang, Yu, Yu, Sun, Hao
Abstract
Although multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress, understanding 3D spatial relationships from 2D images remains a critical challenge. Existing methods primarily rely on symbolic text tokens, which inherently lack the fidelity to represent continuous geometric information. While recent methods use latent representations to enhance reasoning, relying on a single latent type cannot adapt to the diversity of spatial tasks, leading to misalignment in complex geometric scenarios. To address these limitations, we propose GeoAnchor, an interleaved text-latent reasoning framework. GeoAnchor decomposes 3D spatial information into three complementary components: position latents for object grounding, direction latents for relational orientation, and geometry latents for scene structure. These components are recombined in a structured space to construct local evidence while capturing global context, enabling dynamic and interpretable reasoning. Furthermore, we introduce a collaborative training strategy that guides the model from local spatial perception to comprehensive 3D understanding.

尽管多模态大型语言模型(MLLMs)已取得显著进展,但从2D图像中理解3D空间关系仍然是一个关键挑战。现有方法主要依赖符号文本标记,这本质上缺乏表示连续几何信息的精确性。虽然近期方法使用潜在表示来增强推理,但依赖单一潜在类型无法适应空间任务的多样性,导致在复杂几何场景中的错位。为了解决这些局限性,我们提出了GeoAnchor,一个交错的文本-潜在推理框架。GeoAnchor将3D空间信息分解为三个互补组件:用于物体定位的位置信息潜在(position latents)、用于关系定向的方向信息潜在(direction latents)和用于场景结构的几何信息潜在(geometry latents)。这些组件在结构化空间中重新组合,以构建局部证据,同时捕捉全局上下文,从而实现动态和可解释的推理。此外,我们引入了一种协同训练策略,引导模型从局部空间感知到全面的3D理解。在多样化和复杂的3D推理任务上的广泛实验表明,GeoAnchor的表现超越了现有最先进技术,验证了其有效性和泛化能力。

TreeSRNF: Square-Root Normal Fields for Generative Modelling of the Geometric and Structural Variability in Tree-like 3D Objects

TreeSRNF:用于生成树状三维物体几何和结构变异性的平方根法线场
Khanam, Tahmina, Laga, Hamid, Bennamoun, Mohammed, Wang, Guanjin, Sohel, Ferdous, Boussaid, Farid, Srivastava, Anuj
Abstract
We introduce a novel mathematical framework for analyzing and generating complex tree-shaped 3D objects, such as botanical trees and plants, which deform both in their 3D geometry and branching structure. Unlike previous works, which either consider only the skeletal structure of tree-like objects or approximate their 3D geometry using branch thickness, the proposed framework accurately models both the 3D geometry of the tree branches and the way they are interconnected. In this paper, we first generalize the Square Root Normal Fields (SRNF) representation, originally proposed for the statistical analysis of genus-0 surfaces, to tree-shaped 3D objects. We then treat tree-shaped 3D objects as points on a novel Riemannian tree-shape space equipped with a novel Riemannian metric that measures the amount of surface bending and stretching, and structural changes one needs to apply to one 3D tree-shape to align it with another. This way, deformations become trajectories in this novel tree-shape space. We analyze the theoretical properties of this novel tree-shape space and the corresponding metric and develop algorithms for computing point-wise and branch-wise correspondences and geodesic paths between complex 3D trees. We finally show how to use these building blocks for (1) computing statistical summaries, \ie means and modes of variation, of collections of tree-shaped 3D objects, and (2) synthesizing novel tree-shaped 3D objects by sampling from probability distributions fitted to a population of tree-shaped 3D objects. We demonstrate the performance and utility of the proposed framework on real and synthetic plants and botanical trees and show that it significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art.

2D Rotary Position Embedding for Scene Text Recognition with Transformers

用于场景文本识别的二维旋转位置嵌入与变换器
Raisi, Zobeir
Abstract
Scene Text Recognition (STR) remains challenging due to the diversity of text appearances, including curvature, rotation, and perspective distortion. Recent Transformer-based approaches perform well but usually rely on one-dimensional positional encodings that ignore the 2D spatial structure of text images. Axial 2D extensions of Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) exist for vision Transformers, but they assume roughly square, isotropic image content and apply the rotation only within encoder self-attention. Scene text violates both assumptions: crops are markedly anisotropic, and STR models are encoder-decoder, so the decoder must relate its queries to the encoder's 2D layout through cross-attention. We introduce 2D-RoPE-STR, which adapts axial 2D-RoPE to this setting through (1) an anisotropic row/column dimension allocation matched to the aspect ratio of text, and (2) an extension of the rotary coupling into encoder-decoder cross-attention, letting autoregressive decoding steps attend to encoder tokens by their 2D layout, a setting not addressed by prior encoder-only formulations. Both changes are essentially parameter-free and require no architectural redesign beyond the positional-encoding module. We further introduce a diagnostic protocol (a controlled ablation pair isolating only the positional encoding, an image-level net-win disagreement analysis, and encoder attention visualization) that identifies where and why relative 2D position helps: curved, rotated, and perspective-distorted layouts where reading order departs from a straight horizontal line. On six standard benchmarks (IIIT5K, SVT, ICDAR 2013, ICDAR 2015, CUTE80, SVTP), gains concentrate on exactly these irregular layouts, with ablations isolating each design choice against 1D RoPE and 2D sinusoidal and learnable alternatives.

场景文本识别(STR)因文本外观的多样性(包括曲率、旋转和透视失真)而仍然具有挑战性。近期基于变换器的方法表现良好,但通常依赖于一维位置编码,这忽略了文本图像的二维空间结构。虽然存在针对视觉变换器的轴向二维旋转位置嵌入(Rotary Position Embedding, RoPE)扩展,但它们假设图像内容大致为方形且各向同性,并且仅在编码器自注意力中应用旋转。场景文本违反了这两个假设:裁剪的文本明显是各向异性的,且STR模型是编码器-解码器结构,因此解码器必须通过交叉注意力将其查询与编码器的二维布局相关联。我们提出了2D-RoPE-STR,它通过(1)与文本的纵横比相匹配的各向异性行/列维度分配,以及(2)将旋转耦合扩展到编码器-解码器交叉注意力中,从而将轴向二维RoPE适应于这一设置,使自回归解码步骤能够根据编码器的二维布局关注编码器的标记,这一设置在之前的仅编码器公式中未得到解决。这两个变化本质上是无参数的,并且在位置编码模块之外不需要架构重设计。我们进一步引入了一种诊断协议(一个控制消融对,单独隔离位置编码、图像级净收益不一致分析和编码器注意力可视化),以识别相对二维位置有助于的地方和原因:在阅读顺序偏离直水平线的曲线、旋转和透视失真的布局上。在六个标准基准(IIIT5K、SVT、ICDAR 2013、ICDAR 2015、CUTE80、SVTP)上,性能提升恰好集中在这些不规则布局上,消融实验隔离了每个设计选择与一维RoPE及二维正弦和可学习替代方案的对比。

Abstract
We present the Large Processing Model (LPM), a diffusion-based generative framework for photorealistic video restoration under complex, in-the-wild degradations. To our knowledge, LPM is the first generative video restoration model deployed at industrial scale. LPM addresses the diverse degradations in user-generated content (UGC) through a unified system encompassing large-scale data engineering, foundation-model training, and efficient inference. Its enhanced architecture, progressive training strategy, and temporal-pyramid inference mechanism jointly enable high-fidelity, temporally consistent restoration of arbitrarily long videos across the broad content distribution encountered on UGC platforms. LPM has been deployed in production at Kuaishou, where videos processed by the model account for approximately 45% of total viewing time, delivering consistent improvements across key quality-of-experience metrics. Beyond perceptual enhancement, LPM delivers substantial system-level benefits: at comparable perceptual quality, it reduces bitrate by 20% relative to Kuaishou's in-house codec, yielding annual bandwidth cost savings on the order of hundreds of millions. Its low serving cost also enables integration into products such as Kling, demonstrating that generative restoration can be practical, scalable, and cost-effective for large-scale video processing.

Zang, Bin, Zheng, Wenting, Luo, Xiaoliang, Fang, Zhiyuan, Li, Shi, Wang, Lvchun, Yu, Wei, Zhao, Yi, Xie, Tian, Huo, Yuchi, Xie, Rengan
Abstract
Recently, a line of works can generate impressive 3D objects from a single image, but they are limited by restricted representation resolution, making them unsuitable for 3D scene generation. In this work, we introduce HIVE-3D, a novel method for high-quality 3D scene generation based on hierarchical voxel enhancement framework. Specifically, given a single scene image as input, we first produce a coarse initial scene, then introduce image segmentation and attention-based retrieval to align 2D image components with 3D scene components. Subsequently, we organize these scene relations into a hierarchical component tree, where nodes closer to the leaves denote finer-grained components. Finally, we propose a voxel super-resolution model that generates refined voxels for the target instance while maintaining strong consistency with the coarse voxels. Equipped with this model, we perform coarse-to-fine hierarchical super-resolution on images and voxels for each component, producing a high-resolution and high-quality 3D scene. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms previous approaches, achieving state-of-the-art performance.

Bring Music The Horizon: Music-Driven 360$^\circ$ Video Generation

带来音乐的视野:基于音乐的360$^ ext{°}$视频生成
Tsai, Kai Hsu, Fu, Yong Wei, Yang, Hung I, Chen, Yu-Chih
Abstract
Music visualization offers a powerful way to enhance listeners' understanding and experience of music by translating auditory signals into visual forms. However, most existing approaches either rely heavily on lyrics or generate flat, non-immersive videos similar to conventional music videos, which limits their ability to convey the emotional dynamics of music and provide an immersive listening experience. We propose Bring Music The Horizon, an emotion-aware pipeline for music-driven 360$^\circ$ video generation. Given an input song, our work first estimates its emotional trajectory by predicting valence-arousal values at the level of every four bars. These values are then converted into emotion-aware visual guidance using EmotiCrafter, and these guidance vectors can be manipulated by the SEGA framework, which provides fine-grained semantic control for keyframe generation. Finally, image-to-video models are applied to the generated keyframes to synthesize temporally continuous 360$^\circ$ videos for immersive music visualization. Our pipeline generates 360$^\circ$ music visualization videos that reflect the emotional progression and temporal structure of the input song. We demonstrate its capability using songs from different genres and provide qualitative comparisons with From-Sound-To-Sight, a representative audio-to-visual generation baseline, on our project page at https://etoile-et-toi-mp3.github.io/BMTH_Project_Page/.

GPOcc++: Unified Sparse Gaussian Occupancy Prediction with Visual Geometry Priors

GPOcc++:结合视觉几何先验的统一稀疏高斯占用预测
Zhou, Changqing, Luo, Yueru, Guo, Yulan, Wang, Bing, Qin, Jie, Chen, Changhao
Abstract
Accurate 3D scene understanding is fundamental to embodied intelligence and autonomous driving, where 3D occupancy provides a unified representation of objects, structures, and free space. However, recovering such a complete volumetric representation from visual observations remains challenging, particularly in occluded and unobserved regions. Visual geometry priors offer strong and generalizable geometric cues for addressing this challenge, but their outputs are inherently surface-centric, whereas occupancy prediction requires reasoning about volumetric interiors and free space. To bridge this gap, we introduce GPOcc, which transforms visual geometry priors into occupancy-aware sparse Gaussian representations for efficient and expressive volumetric scene modeling. Building on GPOcc, GPOcc++ models multi-view observations and temporal sequences within a unified framework, allowing spatial and temporal evidence to be handled through the same representation. We further extend GPOcc++ from indoor scenes to outdoor occupancy prediction. Extensive experiments on both indoor and outdoor benchmarks demonstrate consistently strong performance across both multi-view and temporal settings, together with favorable efficiency and generalization. Code will be released at https://github.com/JuIvyy/GPOcc.

CASA-SDF: Curriculum-Aware Spatial Adaptation with Curvature-Guided Density for Neural Implicit Surface Reconstruction

CASA-SDF:基于课程意识的空间适应与曲率引导密度用于神经隐式表面重建
Yang, Lei, Li, Weiqing, Su, Zhiyong, Xiao, Liang
Abstract
Neural implicit representations have emerged as a powerful paradigm for 3D reconstruction. However, high-fidelity indoor surface reconstruction remains a significant challenge, primarily due to the pronounced \emph{geometric heterogeneity} of indoor scenes. Large texture-less planar regions typically require stronger regularization to suppress high-frequency artifacts, while thin structures demand sharper, more adaptive representations to mitigate the spectral bias of multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) and prevent over-smoothing. Existing approaches often rely on spatially indiscriminate prior supervision and a scene-global SDF-to-density transformation, which constrains their ability to balance planar smoothness and detail preservation. In this paper, we propose CASA-SDF (Curriculum-Aware Spatial Adaptation for SDF), a unified framework that addresses this challenge via complementary adaptations of supervision and representation capacity. Specifically, Hybrid Spatially-Adaptive Uncertainty Annealing (SAUA) fuses semantic and photometric uncertainties to construct a pixel-wise curriculum for monocular prior supervision. This strategy maintains regularization in reliable regions while attenuating unreliable supervision early in training to enable data-driven photometric refinement. Meanwhile, Curvature-Aware Locally Adaptive Density Transformation (CALADT) progressively modulates the sharpness of the SDF-to-density mapping via a curvature proxy to enhance the representation of thin structures. Extensive experiments on benchmark indoor datasets demonstrate that CASA-SDF improves surface completeness and detail recovery on high-frequency structures, without compromising the stability of planar surfaces.

M2P-AD: Memory-to-Prototype Learning with Boundary-aware Score Refinement for 3D Anomaly Detection

M2P-AD:基于边界感知评分细化的记忆到原型学习用于 3D 异常检测
Jeong, Seyoung, Yun, Jong Pil, Lee, Sang Jun
Abstract
3D anomaly detection has recently emerged as an important research topic in computer vision. Although existing methods have achieved high performance, excessive anomaly responses in normal regions and false positives near object boundaries remain unresolved challenges. To address these challenges, we propose a novel 3D anomaly detection model, Memory-to-Prototype Anomaly Detection (M2P-AD), which effectively models the distribution of normal features while suppressing excessive anomaly scores in normal regions and false positives near object boundaries. Specifically, we introduce a Memory-to-Prototype (M2P) module that learns representative prototypes from normal feature embeddings to preserve important structural information of objects. In addition, a Boundary extraction (BE) module is integrated to identify object boundaries, and a Boundary-aware score refinement (BSR) strategy is applied to recalibrate anomaly scores by incorporating boundary characteristics. The proposed method is evaluated on Real3D-AD, Anomaly-ShapeNet, and MulSen-AD, achieving state-of-the-art performance. Qualitative results demonstrate that excessive anomaly scores in normal regions are reduced and false positives near object boundaries are suppressed, resulting in more accurate and stable anomaly localization. The results indicate that the proposed approach enables more reliable 3D anomaly detection and provides a robust solution applicable to real-world industrial environments.

Attention-Free and Lightweight Token Reduction for Efficient Vision-Language Models

无注意力且轻量级的令牌减少方法以提高视觉-语言模型的效率
Hao, Xuanyi, Zhang, Zuoyuan, Wang, Zhibo, Pang, Xiaoyi, Hu, Jiahui, Du, Jiacheng, Zhuo, Shuguo
Abstract
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved strong performance in multimodal understanding, yet remain challenging to deploy on resource-constrained edge devices due to the substantial computational overhead of processing numerous visual tokens. Token reduction is a promising direction for accelerating VLMs inference, but existing approaches either rely on attention maps that are incompatible with modern acceleration frameworks or depend on computationally intensive pairwise similarity comparisons, which undermine scalability and negate their practical benefits in deployment. In this paper, we propose an attention-free and lightweight token reduction framework as a plug-and-play module for VLMs, which preserves both important and diverse tokens to produce a compact visual representation. First, to enable attention-free importance estimation, we adopt an information-theoretic perspective and quantify token information using a novel entropy-based criterion, retaining those with more expressive and less degenerate feature representations. Second, to ensure diverse visual coverage in a lightweight manner, we introduce a transformation-induced consistency signal where similar tokens yield similar signals, such that sorting by this signal places similar tokens close to each other and enables stride-based selection to produce a diverse token set. Extensive experiments across multiple VLMs benchmarks demonstrate that our framework achieves a favorable accuracy-efficiency trade-off, maintaining competitive performance under aggressive compression.

视觉-语言模型(VLMs)在多模态理解方面取得了强劲的性能,但由于处理大量视觉令牌所需的显著计算开销,仍然难以在资源受限的边缘设备上部署。令牌减少是加速VLM推理的一个有前景的方向,但现有方法要么依赖于与现代加速框架不兼容的注意力图,要么依赖于计算密集的成对相似性比较,这削弱了可扩展性并否定了它们在部署中的实际效益。本文提出了一种无注意力且轻量级的令牌减少框架,作为VLM的即插即用模块,能够保留重要且多样的令牌,从而生成紧凑的视觉表示。首先,为了实现无注意力的重要性估计,我们采用信息论的视角,通过一种新颖的基于熵的标准量化令牌信息,保留那些具有更具表现力和较少退化特征表示的令牌。其次,为了以轻量级的方式确保多样的视觉覆盖,我们引入了一种由变换引起的一致性信号,其中相似的令牌产生相似的信号,从而通过该信号排序使相似的令牌彼此靠近,并实现基于步幅的选择以生成多样的令牌集。在多个VLM基准上的广泛实验表明,我们的框架实现了良好的准确性与效率的权衡,在激进压缩下保持了竞争力的性能。

DP-BOA: Dirichlet-Process Birth-or-Assign for On-the-Fly Category Discovery

DP-BOA:用于即时类别发现的狄利克雷过程出生或分配方法
Gu, Peiyan, Teng, Zixin, He, Xuming
Abstract
On-the-fly category discovery requires deciding for each incoming test sample whether to assign it to an existing category or spawn a new one. Existing methods typically implement this decision through matching-based heuristics, such as radius- or hash-based rules. While effective in practice, these methods usually treat category birth implicitly as a fallback when no existing category matches confidently, rather than as an explicit alternative supported by its own statistical evidence. To address this, we propose DP-BOA, a posterior-predictive decision framework based on an online Dirichlet-process Gaussian mixture model with a Normal-Inverse-Wishart prior. During training, we use labeled data to calibrate a shared NIW prior over category Gaussians and warm-start the known-category posteriors. At test time, for each incoming sample, DP-BOA compares the posterior predictive evidence for assignment to existing categories against the evidence for spawning a new category induced by the DP prior, and then updates category statistics online after the decision. The method captures anisotropic category geometry and naturally adapts decision confidence as evidence accumulates. Across standard OCD benchmarks, DP-BOA consistently outperforms strong baselines and delivers particularly strong novel-class discovery performance while maintaining competitive known-class accuracy.

即时类别发现需要为每个到来的测试样本决定是将其分配到现有类别还是生成一个新类别。现有的方法通常通过基于匹配的启发式规则来实现这一决策,例如基于半径或哈希的规则。尽管在实践中有效,这些方法通常将类别的生成隐式视为一种后备选项,当没有现有类别能够自信地匹配时,而不是作为一种由自身统计证据支持的明确替代方案。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了DP-BOA,一种基于在线狄利克雷过程高斯混合模型(Dirichlet-process Gaussian mixture model)和正态-逆威沙特先验(Normal-Inverse-Wishart prior)的后验预测决策框架。在训练过程中,我们使用标记数据来校准类别高斯的共享NIW先验,并为已知类别的后验分布提供热启动。在测试时,对于每个到来的样本,DP-BOA比较分配到现有类别的后验预测证据与由DP先验诱导的新类别生成证据,然后在决策后在线更新类别统计信息。该方法捕捉了各向异性的类别几何形状,并随着证据的积累自然调整决策信心。在标准的在线类别发现(OCD)基准测试中,DP-BOA始终优于强基线,并在保持竞争的已知类别准确性的同时,提供了特别强的新增类别发现性能。

TRACE-PCa: Predicting Prostate Cancer Progression from Longitudinal MRI During Active Surveillance

TRACE-PCa:基于纵向MRI预测前列腺癌在主动监测期间的进展
Zeng, Hongye, Athreya, Shreeram, Dai, Dingyuan, Raman, Steve, Marks, Leonard, Speier, William, Arnold, Corey
Abstract
Active surveillance (AS) is the preferred strategy for favorable-risk prostate cancer, yet current protocols rely on scheduled repeat biopsies, most of which reveal no progression and are unnecessary. Existing risk-stratification tools operate on single time-point imaging or depend on explicit lesion segmentation, limiting their ability to capture longitudinal change and excluding patients without an MRI-visible lesion. In this study, we propose an end-to-end temporal and multimodal model for predicting pathological progression during AS without lesion segmentation. We encode each serial scan with a pretrained 3D MRI foundation model and introduce a temporal attention gate that recalibrates the multi-visit features to amplify focal imaging changes associated with progression. The gated imaging representation is then fused with clinical variables in a multimodal framework to estimate the probability of progression. Validated on a longitudinal AS cohort, our approach consistently outperforms competing baselines and performs comparably to the radiologist assessment representing current clinical practice. It maintains high negative predictive value while achieving higher positive predictive value, demonstrating its potential to safely reduce unnecessary biopsies during surveillance.

Abstract
The continuous growth in cross-border mobility places increasing pressure on existing border control infrastructures, motivating on-the-move biometric authentication, in which travellers are identified directly inside their vehicles at checkpoints. Face recognition is well-suited to this setting, as it can be acquired passively and at a distance. Its development, however, is hindered by the lack of representative datasets: existing benchmarks are collected in controlled environments and do not capture the challenges inherent to vehicular acquisition, including motion blur, variable illumination, occlusions, and cross-spectral enrollment. To address this gap, we introduce a dataset for on-the-move face recognition in border-control scenarios, comprising NIR vehicle-crossing videos paired with smartphone-based pre-enrollment data.

VGIF-Score: Interpretable and Diagnostic Evaluation of Spatio-Temporal Instruction Following in Video Generation

VGIF-Score:可解释的时空指令遵循在视频生成中的诊断评估
Xu, Songyu, Wang, Xin, Chen, Qiang, Wang, Xinran, Diao, Muxi, Zhang, Yuxuan, Liang, Kongming, Lin, Rui, Ma, Zhanyu
Abstract
Recent video generation models (VGMs) have made substantial progress in visual fidelity, yet their ability to follow long, compositional instructions remains insufficiently evaluated. Existing evaluation protocols often rely on prompts that are short and semantically shallow, with limited atomic constraints and weak spatio-temporal dependencies. They also frequently depend on costly human evaluation or handcrafted vision pipelines, while providing little diagnostic insight into which instruction constraints succeed or fail. To address this gap, we propose VGIF-Score, a highly automated and interpretable framework for evaluating instruction following in video generation. VGIF-Score consists of two complementary components: an objective completion branch that parses prompts into a Spatio-Temporal Directed Acyclic Graph (ST-DAG) and performs dependency-aware QA with short-circuit diagnostics, and a subjective satisfaction branch that uses instruction-conditioned AutoRubric to assess cinematography, visual purity, motion smoothness, and physics adherence. Together, these components produce a unified score that captures both objective completion and perceptual satisfaction. We instantiate this framework on VGIF-Bench, a benchmark of 223 long, structurally entangled prompts paired with approximately 4.3K fine-grained evaluation items. Experiments on 14 proprietary and open-source VGMs across more than 3K generated videos show that VGIF-Score provides reliable, interpretable, and diagnostically useful evaluation of video generation instruction following. The code will be available at https://github.com/PRIS-CV/VGIF-SCORE.

近期的视频生成模型(VGM)在视觉逼真度方面取得了显著进展,但它们遵循长篇、复杂指令的能力仍然缺乏充分评估。现有的评估协议通常依赖于短小且语义浅显的提示,具有有限的原子约束和较弱的时空依赖性。同时,它们往往依赖于昂贵的人力评估或手工制作的视觉管道,且对哪些指令约束成功或失败提供的诊断见解有限。为了解决这一问题,我们提出了VGIF-Score,一个高度自动化且可解释的框架,用于评估视频生成中的指令遵循。VGIF-Score由两个互补的组成部分构成:一个客观完成分支,将提示解析为时空有向无环图(ST-DAG),并通过短路诊断执行依赖感知的质量评估;一个主观满意度分支,使用基于指令的AutoRubric来评估摄影、视觉纯度、运动平滑度和物理遵循性。这两个组成部分共同生成一个统一的评分,捕捉客观完成和感知满意度。我们在VGIF-Bench上实现了这一框架,这是一个包含223个长篇、结构复杂的提示及约4.3K个细粒度评估项目的基准。对14个专有和开源VGM在超过3K个生成视频上的实验表明,VGIF-Score提供了可靠、可解释且具有诊断价值的视频生成指令遵循评估。代码将发布于 https://github.com/PRIS-CV/VGIF-SCORE。

ThinkBLOX: 3D Indoor Scene Generation with Progressive Reasoning

ThinkBLOX:基于渐进推理的3D室内场景生成
Xiao, Yuan, Wang, Can, Kong, Xiangyu, Liao, Jing
Abstract
While traditional graphics methods often synthesize 3D indoor scenes autoregressively or hierarchically, recent vision-language model (VLM)-based generators predominantly adopt a one-shot paradigm where the full layout is planned at once. This one-shot approach often requires global re-optimization or complete reconstruction during interactive editing (e.g., inserting or moving objects) and can lead to physically or semantically poorly organized arrangements. To address these challenges, we propose ThinkBLOX, a VLM-based progressive reasoning framework that iteratively designs and refines 3D scenes. ThinkBLOX treats layout generation as a state-conditioned, step-by-step reasoningand-action process. To power this, we construct the ThinkBLOX-Data-200K dataset, containing 224,757 procedural placement pairs annotated with multi-view scene context, explicit Chain-of-Thought (CoT) rationales, and structured JSON layouts. Through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on this dataset, the VLM learns to bridge the reasoning-action gap under incremental updates. Furthermore, recognizing that scene synthesis is inherently a multisolution task where SFT suffers from reward conflict, we introduce Tier-Decoupled GDPO. This reinforcement learning scheme organizes heterogeneous rewards into distinct tiers, stabilizing policy optimization across physical validity, semantic plausibility, and reasoning-action consistency. Extensive experiments show that ThinkBLOX significantly outperforms recent one-shot and iterative baselines in physical plausibility, semantic alignment, and interactive editability. Additionally, we show that it supports diverse applications, including both global and local generation and rearrangement of 3D scenes.

传统图形方法通常以自回归或分层的方式合成3D室内场景,而最近基于视觉-语言模型(VLM)的生成器主要采用一次性范式,在此范式中,整个布局一次性规划完成。这种一次性方法在交互编辑(例如,插入或移动物体)过程中往往需要进行全局重新优化或完全重建,可能导致物理或语义上组织不良的排列。为了解决这些挑战,我们提出了ThinkBLOX,一种基于VLM的渐进推理框架,能够迭代设计和优化3D场景。ThinkBLOX将布局生成视为一个状态条件下的逐步推理与行动过程。为此,我们构建了ThinkBLOX-Data-200K数据集,其中包含224,757对程序化放置样本,并附有多视角场景上下文、明确的思维链(Chain-of-Thought, CoT)推理和结构化的JSON布局。通过对该数据集的监督微调(SFT),VLM学习在增量更新下弥合推理与行动之间的差距。此外,考虑到场景合成本质上是一个多解任务,而SFT在此过程中面临奖励冲突,我们引入了层解耦的GDPO(Tier-Decoupled GDPO)。该强化学习方案将异质奖励组织成不同层级,从而在物理有效性、语义合理性和推理-行动一致性之间稳定策略优化。大量实验表明,ThinkBLOX在物理合理性、语义对齐和交互可编辑性方面显著优于最近的一次性和迭代基线。此外,我们还展示了它支持多种应用,包括3D场景的全局和局部生成及重新排列。

Nexus: Native Mesh Generation with Diffusion

Nexus:基于扩散的原生网格生成
Wang, Hanxiao, Liu, Ying-Tian, Guo, Yuan-Chen, Feng, Qi-Yuan, Zou, Zi-Xin, Liang, Ding, Zhang, Biao, Cao, Yan-Pei
Abstract
Generating high-quality triangle meshes is essential for film, gaming, and interactive 3D applications. Mainstream methods rely on mesh serialization and autoregressive processes, which stuggles in effective inference and is sensitive to error accumulation. In this paper, we present Nexus, a diffusion method that achieves holistic mesh generation via decoupled vertex and topology generation. First, we view mesh vertices as sparse voxels organized as an octree and adopt a diffusion model to generate the vertices in a coarse-to-fine manner. Second, for topology modeling, we propose Spacetime Interval, as an extension of Spacetime Distance to encode arbitrary edge and face topology into continuous per-vertex embeddings. It allows for a global and efficient recovery of complex topology. We then employ a diffusion model to generate the continuous embeddings on the generated vertices. Extensive experiments on the Objaverse and Toys4K datasets and in-the-wild images demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art autoregressive and two-stage baselines, effectively circumventing the inherent limitations of sequential mesh modeling. A blind user study from 3D practitioners confirms strong perceptual preference for our results.

GHR-VLM: Making Zero-Shot Transit Video Analytics Realizable with Grounded Hybrid Reasoning

GHR-VLM:通过基于视觉的混合推理实现零-shot公交视频分析
Huang, Kaicong, Oh, Weiheng, Ke, Ruimin
Abstract
Transit video understanding can provide valuable fine-grained data that conventional passenger counters and fare systems cannot capture. However, supervised video models require task-specific annotations, while applying vision-language models (VLMs) directly to long onboard videos is unreliable and costly. To leverage the complementary strengths of both approaches, we propose GHR-VLM, a visual grounded hybrid reasoning framework for zero-shot transit-bus video analytics. It is motivated by the observation that explicit visual grounding can improve VLM reasoning by converting long surveillance streams into compact, passenger-centered spatiotemporal evidence. Specifically, we propose an edge-cloud design in which a lightweight edge-based monitor continuously tracks door status and segments passenger clips. A backend VLM then identifies boarding passengers and classifies payment behavior through a two-stage coarse-to-fine refinement of spatiotemporal evidence. By invoking the VLM only on grounded passenger clips and contact sheets, GHR-VLM reduces cloud inference, avoids payment-specific training data, and supplies the localized evidence that VLMs otherwise struggle to identify. Evaluation on 486 minutes of real-world bus surveillance video demonstrates the potential of grounded edge-cloud reasoning for passenger-level payment analytics while highlighting the challenges posed by degraded video conditions.

公交视频理解可以提供传统乘客计数器和票务系统无法捕捉的有价值的细粒度数据。然而,监督视频模型需要特定任务的标注,而直接将视觉语言模型(VLMs)应用于长时间的车载视频则不可靠且成本高昂。为了利用这两种方法的互补优势,我们提出了GHR-VLM,一种用于零-shot公交视频分析的视觉基础混合推理框架。其动机在于观察到显式的视觉基础可以通过将长时间监控流转换为紧凑的、以乘客为中心的时空证据来改善VLM推理。具体而言,我们提出了一种边缘-云设计,其中一个轻量级的边缘监控器持续跟踪门状态并分割乘客视频片段。随后,后端VLM通过对时空证据进行两阶段的粗到细的精炼,识别上车乘客并分类支付行为。通过仅在基础乘客片段和接触表上调用VLM,GHR-VLM减少了云推理,避免了特定支付的训练数据,并提供了VLM通常难以识别的局部证据。在486分钟的真实公交监控视频上的评估展示了基于视觉的边缘-云推理在乘客级支付分析中的潜力,同时突显了退化视频条件带来的挑战。

UniPhysGen: Unified Physical Grounding for Simulation-Ready 3D Assets

UniPhysGen:用于模拟准备的3D资产的统一物理基础
Li, Xian, Wei, Rong, Yang, Lujie, Huang, Haolin, Fang, Junyuan, Tang, Siliang, Xiao, Jun, Tang, Rui, Li, Juncheng
Abstract
Physically grounded 3D assets are increasingly important for embodied AI and robotic simulation. However, most existing 3D assets lack unified physical semantics, including articulation semantics and intrinsic physical properties, required for realistic interaction. Current approaches either treat these semantics independently or rely on canonicalized object structures, limiting robustness across heterogeneous 3D assets. We present UniPhys, a scalable framework for automatically transforming raw 3D assets into simulation-ready assets with unified physical semantics. Based on UniPhys, we construct UniPhys-40K, a large-scale physically grounded dataset, together with UniPhys-Bench, a carefully verified benchmark for unified physical grounding evaluation. We further introduce UniPhysGen, a unified physical grounding model that jointly reasons over articulation semantics and intrinsic physical properties. UniPhysGen incorporates geometry-robust articulation grounding to mitigate geometric shortcut bias under heterogeneous part decompositions. Extensive experiments demonstrate state-of-the-art performance across articulation grounding and intrinsic physical property estimation tasks, while the resulting assets can be directly deployed in robotic simulation environments for realistic physical interaction.

Abstract
We introduce OvisOCR2, a 0.8B document parsing model. OvisOCR2 is designed as an end-to-end parser: given a document page image, it generates a Markdown representation in natural reading order, covering text, formulas, tables, and visual regions. We build a data engine that combines filtered real-document annotations with synthetic pages whose rendered images and Markdown targets are derived from the same HTML source. The training recipe includes supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning on a 4B branch with a multi-component reward design, on-policy distillation into the 0.8B model, and model fusion. On OmniDocBench v1.6, OvisOCR2 achieves a state-of-the-art overall score of 96.58, placing an end-to-end model at the top of this leaderboard previously dominated by pipeline methods and highlighting the potential of end-to-end document parsing. On PureDocBench, OvisOCR2 also achieves the highest Avg3 score of 75.06. Beyond these two public benchmarks, we evaluate OvisOCR2 on an in-house benchmark designed to cover a broader set of long-tail and challenging scenarios. OvisOCR2 obtains the best overall performance among the compared methods, providing further evidence of its generalization and robustness.

Human4K: A Large-Scale 4K Multi-View Mocap Dataset for Whole-Body 3D Human Reconstruction

Abstract
Recent advances in 3D human reconstruction have improved overall performance, yet current models still fail in the most challenging real-world scenarios. They often produce unstable geometry, inaccurate limb articulation and unreliable predictions under depth ambiguity or self-occlusion. A key reason is that existing datasets still lack the combination of high-resolution images, high-precision annotations and diverse whole-body motions required to support robust reconstruction. To address this gap, we present Human4K, a large-scale 4K multi-view whole-body human reconstruction dataset with mocap-accurate SMPL-X annotations. Human4K contains over six million 4K images captured by an eight-view high-resolution camera system synchronized with a professional Vicon motion capture setup, covering 11 subjects performing complex, highly articulated and strongly self-occluded full-body motions. All sequences are processed by a Motion-Retargeting and Refinement Module (MRRM) to ensure precise alignment for the full body and extremities. Experimental results show that training with Human4K consistently improves whole-body reconstruction on standard benchmarks, with particularly large gains for hands, feet and depth-ambiguous limb configurations.

Beyond Color Geometry: Evaluating Human-Like Color Representations in Vision Models

超越颜色几何:评估视觉模型中的类人颜色表示
Igali, Ayan, Shamoi, Pakizar
Abstract
Do vision models see colors the way humans do? Existing evaluations of color representations usually compare them with geometric spaces such as CIELAB or with discrete color labels. These references capture perceptual distance or category membership, but not the graded way in which people organize colors. We evaluate color grounding against a fuzzy perceptual model with 86 graded categories fitted to human survey data. The framework can be applied to any image encoder and measures three complementary properties: category boundaries, category compactness, and graded alignment beyond what color geometry alone can explain. Across eleven Vision Transformer encoders, the category-level results are broadly similar, whereas graded alignment differs substantially. Masked Autoencoders achieve the strongest beyond-geometry alignment, with confidence intervals that do not overlap those of the other encoders. A layer-wise analysis further shows that masked reconstruction preserves this structure toward the output. On natural images, MAE represents surface color globally, while language-supervised models encode color more strongly in relation to the foreground object. These results show that human-like color grounding has several distinct aspects that should not be reduced to a single score.

From Surface Forecasting to Observability Forecasting: A Latent World Model for Cloud-Aware EO Monitoring

从表面预测到可观测性预测:一种面向云的地球观测监测潜在世界模型
Albughdadi, Mohanad
Abstract
The bottleneck of Earth Observation processing chains is not the arrival of new imagery but whether the surface is actually visible when the image arrives. We study this as an observability forecasting problem on EarthNet2021. Given recent multispectral imagery and exogenous weather drivers, the goal is to predict whether the next acquisition will be usable and, if not, when a usable view is likely to return. To do this, we adapt LeWorldModel, a joint-embedding predictive architecture world model, to cloud-aware Earth Observation sequences. The final pipeline converts raw minicubes into episodic HDF5 sequences with five image channels (blue, green, red, near-infrared, cloud mask) and eight meteorological and calendar covariates. The resulting model has 18.0M trainable parameters and is trained from scratch on 23,904 training episodes. The trained leWorldModel is evaluated under a locked protocol: linear probes are fit on train only, calibration choices are set on an internal validation split, and the fitted heads are then frozen for valsplit, IID, OOD, and extreme evaluation. On the full frozen-bundle observability benchmark, LeWorldModel consistently outperforms persistence. For next-step usability, balanced accuracy ranges from 0.769 to 0.887, compared with 0.493 to 0.556 for persistence. For exact first-usable-horizon prediction, accuracy ranges from 0.602 to 0.806, compared with 0.120 to 0.369 for persistence. Against a frozen LightGBM baseline fit on the same training windows, LeWorldModel is better on continuous clear/cloud regression and on exact recovery timing on valsplit, IID, and extreme, while LightGBM is stronger on the simpler binary any-usable-within-six task and is more robust on OOD. In separate sampled diagnostic analyses, LeWM also produces strong ranking-based anomaly signals under synthetic temporal inconsistencies.

Abstract
Real-world deployment of embodied agents requires active exploration, visual grounding, and interactive intent disambiguation. However, existing frameworks often rely on privileged simulator states or assume complete instructions, bypassing realistic deployment challenges. To bridge this gap, we present REAL, an agentic framework for open-world mobile manipulation. REAL establishes sim-to-real-consistent environment APIs without oracle perception and integrates a simulated user to enable human-in-the-loop interaction. Within this environment, we design diverse task compositions to drive data collection, supervised fine-tuning, and online reinforcement learning, systematically optimizing agent performance. To comprehensively evaluate this approach, we introduce REAL-Bench, a benchmark spanning 241 tasks across active exploration, visual distraction, articulated manipulation, and interactive disambiguation. Experimental results demonstrate that our trained agent outperforms leading commercial closed-source VLMs on interactive tasks with a 56.9% success rate. Further empirical analysis reveals that our hierarchical training pipeline successfully aligns the model's tool-use capabilities while maintaining robust open-vocabulary reasoning under extended exploration horizons. Finally, we deploy and evaluate our framework on a physical dual-arm mobile robot, where it achieves a 78.3% end-to-end success rate over 60 real-world episodes. These physical trials demonstrate robust zero-shot transferability to unseen household scenarios, validating that our sim-to-real-consistent design successfully bridges the reality gap for long-horizon mobile manipulation.

T3HG-Editor: Text-driven 3D Human Garment Editing with Body Priors Embedded in SMPL-X

T3HG-Editor:基于文本驱动的3D人类服装编辑,嵌入SMPL-X的身体先验
Sun, Shaoru, Wang, Xingtao, Ma, Zihan, Li, Wenrui, Zhou, Jiantao, Zhao, Debin, Fan, Xiaopeng
Abstract
While 3D Gaussian Editing (3DGE) has seen substantial progress, text-driven 3D human garment editing remains largely underexplored. Existing 3DGE works typically follow a paradigm that applies 2D editing techniques to multi-view rendered images and updates 3D Gaussians based on the modified images. Extending such methods to 3D human garment editing suffers from low-fidelity outcomes, caused by introduced distortions and garment inconsistencies. A promising breakthrough opportunity arises from the SMPL eXpressive (SMPL-X) model that embodies rich prior information for virtual humans. Motivated by this insight, we propose a text-driven 3D human garment editor termed T3HG-Editor, which delivers high-fidelity and garment consistent results by leveraging geometry and joint priors embedded in SMPL-X. Specifically, T3HG-Editor contains three stages, namely obtainment of editable Gaussians, garment consistent editing, and Gaussian updating with overflow pruning. The obtainment of editable Gaussians begins with seeding Gaussians along SMPL-X normals to generate sufficient near surface Gaussians, followed by a 2D mask constraint that precisely localizes the target Gaussians to be edited. The garment consistent editing aggregates tokens corresponding to the same SMPL-X vertex across multiple views and propagates them to their original views, enforcing garment consistency without requiring additional training. Gaussian updating with overflow pruning employs a Signed Distance Function (SDF) defined on SMPL-X to construct a human distance field, which is then integrated with a 2D semantic mask to prune overflowing Gaussians, thus preventing contamination of non-target regions.

尽管3D高斯编辑(3DGE)已取得显著进展,但基于文本驱动的3D人类服装编辑仍然在很大程度上未得到探索。现有的3DGE研究通常遵循一种范式,即将2D编辑技术应用于多视角渲染图像,并根据修改后的图像更新3D高斯。将此类方法扩展到3D人类服装编辑时,由于引入的失真和服装不一致性,导致低保真度的结果。SMPL eXpressive(SMPL-X)模型提供了丰富的虚拟人类先验信息,为此带来了一个有希望的突破机会。基于这一见解,我们提出了一种名为T3HG-Editor的基于文本驱动的3D人类服装编辑器,通过利用嵌入在SMPL-X中的几何和关节先验,实现高保真度和服装一致性的结果。具体而言,T3HG-Editor包含三个阶段,即可编辑高斯的获取、服装一致性编辑和带溢出修剪的高斯更新。可编辑高斯的获取始于沿SMPL-X法线播种高斯,以生成足够的近表面高斯,随后通过2D掩模约束精确定位要编辑的目标高斯。服装一致性编辑聚合对应于多个视角中相同SMPL-X顶点的标记,并将其传播到原始视角,从而在不需要额外训练的情况下强制服装一致性。带溢出修剪的高斯更新利用在SMPL-X上定义的有符号距离函数(SDF)构建人类距离场,然后与2D语义掩模结合,以修剪溢出的高斯,从而防止非目标区域的污染。在多个对象和多样化服装类型上的实验表明,T3HG-Editor在编辑质量和服装一致性方面均优于最先进的方法。

FreeLit: Paired-Free Indoor Relighting via Physics-Guided Diffusion

FreeLit:基于物理引导扩散的无配对室内重照明
Yen, Chi-En, Ngo, Duy-Khanh, Tang, Wen-Wei, Do, Huu-Phu, Peng, Wen-Hsiao, Huang, Ching-Chun
Abstract
Image-based indoor scene relighting remains challenging due to the complex interplay between cluttered geometry and local illumination, requiring precise modeling of light position, color, and intensity. Existing data-driven methods implicitly learn this relationship via paired multi-illumination datasets. Nevertheless, this data is costly and fails to scale, which is essential for accurate light-source-level control. Conversely, inverse-rendering methods reduce the data dependency by incorporating physical priors; however, they lack the robustness of intrinsic estimation in challenging conditions. In this paper, we present FreeLit, a paired-free framework for controllable indoor relighting that explicitly manipulates light-source location, color, and intensity. Instead of relying on paired supervision, we construct a physics-guided illumination prior from intrinsic scene properties, generating a structured lightmap along with a pseudo-relit image to guide diffusion-based synthesis. To address instability in intrinsic estimation, especially in low-light scenes, we introduce a relighting-guided intrinsic stabilization strategy that enforces illumination-invariant reflectance through structure-aware distillation and consistency constraints. Furthermore, we propose controllability-oriented evaluation metrics to quantify alignment with user-specified illumination color and intensity. Experimental results demonstrate that FreeLit achieves stable, physically consistent, and controllable relighting, with improved robustness in low-light indoor scenes, without requiring paired supervision.

基于图像的室内场景重照明仍然面临挑战,因为杂乱几何与局部照明之间的复杂相互作用需要精确建模光源的位置、颜色和强度。现有的数据驱动方法通过配对的多光照数据集隐式学习这种关系。然而,这些数据成本高昂且难以扩展,而准确的光源级控制对此至关重要。相反,逆渲染方法通过结合物理先验减少了对数据的依赖;然而,在复杂条件下,它们缺乏内在估计的鲁棒性。本文提出了FreeLit,一个无配对的可控室内重照明框架,明确操控光源的位置、颜色和强度。我们并不依赖配对监督,而是从内在场景属性构建一个物理引导的照明先验,生成一个结构化的光照图以及一个伪重照明图像,以指导基于扩散的合成。为了解决内在估计的不稳定性,特别是在低光照场景中,我们引入了一种重照明引导的内在稳定化策略,通过结构感知蒸馏和一致性约束来强制照明不变的反射率。此外,我们提出了面向可控性的评估指标,以量化与用户指定的照明颜色和强度的一致性。实验结果表明,FreeLit实现了稳定、物理一致且可控的重照明,在低光照室内场景中表现出更好的鲁棒性,而无需配对监督。

Fine-grained CLIP fine-tuning with self-annotated region alignment

基于自我标注区域对齐的细粒度 CLIP 微调
Zhao, Chenyang, Lin, Wei, Chan, Antoni B., Hsiao, Janet H.
Abstract
Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has been shown to have limitations in its fine-grained dense feature representation, due to its pre-training focusing on matching the whole image to a text description. Considering the large data and computational burden in pre-training a vision-language model from scratch, a series of works aim to enhance the fine-grained ability of CLIP through a fine-tuning scheme. However, existing works suffer from a variety of limitations: additional region annotations are usually required, which limits the semantic diversity due to the predefined categories and leads to a large effort to process the training data; and they usually sacrifice CLIP's original ability for global visual representation. To bypass these limitations, we propose SFF-CLIP (Self-annotated Fine-grained Fine-tuning for CLIP), which only uses image-text pairs as input to boost the fine-grained representation ability in the CLIP fine-tuning, while maintaining the global visual-semantic consistency. Concretely, a run-time region-phrase alignment scheme is designed, which obtains concept phrases from the input sentence, and aligns them with corresponding extracted region-based features using text-specific heat maps. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SFF-CLIP leads to significant performance improvements on fine-grained dense feature representation, as well as maintaining the performance of the original CLIP on image-level tasks. Code will be released later.

对比语言-图像预训练(CLIP)在细粒度密集特征表示方面存在局限性,这主要是由于其预训练过程集中于将整个图像与文本描述进行匹配。考虑到从头开始预训练视觉-语言模型所需的大量数据和计算负担,一系列研究旨在通过微调方案增强 CLIP 的细粒度能力。然而,现有工作存在多种局限性:通常需要额外的区域标注,这限制了语义多样性,因为预定义类别的存在导致处理训练数据的工作量巨大;而且它们通常牺牲了 CLIP 原有的全局视觉表示能力。为了绕过这些限制,我们提出了 SFF-CLIP(自我标注细粒度微调 CLIP),该方法仅使用图像-文本对作为输入,以提升 CLIP 微调中的细粒度表示能力,同时保持全局视觉-语义一致性。具体而言,我们设计了一种运行时区域-短语对齐方案,该方案从输入句子中获取概念短语,并使用特定于文本的热图将其与相应的提取区域特征对齐。大量实验表明,SFF-CLIP 在细粒度密集特征表示方面显著提高了性能,同时保持了原始 CLIP 在图像级任务上的表现。代码将在稍后发布。

Learning Speaker Identity Beyond Language and Modality Constraints: Insights from the POLY-SIM 2026 Challenge

超越语言和模态限制的说话人身份学习:来自POLY-SIM 2026挑战的见解

Abstract
Multimodal speaker identification systems typically assume the availability of complete and homogeneous audio-visual modalities during both training and testing, and assume each speaker only speaks a single language. However, in real-world applications, such assumptions often do not hold. Visual or audio information may be missing due to occlusions, camera or microphone failures, or privacy constraints. Multilingual speakers introduce additional complexity due to linguistic variability across languages. These situations constitute substantial challenges for the robustness and generalization capabilities of multimodal speaker identification systems. Aim of the POLY-SIM 2026 challenge is to address these aspects of speaker identification and to provide a standardized setup for the comparison of the proposed solutions.

WAVE-Stereo: Warp-Aligned Volume Encoding for Stereo Matching

WAVE-Stereo:用于立体匹配的扭曲对齐体积编码
Liu, Zehan, He, Yage, Gong, Xianwu
Abstract
Existing iterative stereo matching methods primarily adopt two types of correspondence representation: explicit matching search via correlation volumes and local residual refinement via warped features, yet the two remain separately modeled. We propose WAVE-Stereo, built on a core insight: correlation volumes and feature warping provide complementary matching cues. \textbf{GeoWarp Correspondence Encoder (GWCE)} encodes matching search, residual alignment, and disparity prior in parallel at the ConvGRU input. To mitigate matching degradation in textureless regions, we propose \textbf{Periodic Global Context Propagation (PGCP)}, which propagates global spatial information in a periodic manner. On five real-world benchmarks -- Middlebury, ETH3D, KITTI 2012, KITTI 2015, and Booster -- WAVE-Stereo achieves competitive zero-shot generalization accuracy without any external foundation model prior, achieving 3.18\% D1-all on KITTI 2015, 4.42\% Bad-2.0 on Booster, and 66ms real-time inference, striking a favorable balance between accuracy and efficiency.

Towards Spatial Supersensing in the Wild

迈向野外的空间超感知
Gu, Tianjun, Xin, Tianyu, Zhang, Kuan, Yang, Bowen, Chua, Kok-Chung, Li, Peize, Zhang, Xinran, Chen, Yupeng, Zhao, Qiyue, Xie, Qinlei, Liu, Jianhang, Lu, Yucheng, Han, Yinan, Pavone, Marco, Li, Yiming
Abstract
Humans can efficiently parse continuous sensory streams, from hours to years, scaffolding an internal world model that grounds spatial reasoning and prediction. To mimic this capacity, spatial supersensing challenges multimodal models to move beyond linguistic understanding toward true world modeling. However, their benchmark relies on synthetic long videos, formed by concatenating random short clips, and is mostly limited to household scenes, leaving real-world continuity and diversity underexplored. To address the gap, we introduce $\textbf{VSI-Super-Wild}$, a large-scale benchmark for evaluating spatial supersensing over long temporal horizons in diverse in-the-wild scenes. Notably, inspired by cognitive studies on how humans structure experience, we systematically probe the full triad of world state: the agent (observer), objects (scene items), and the environment (places and global layout). In total, VSI-Super-Wild contains $\textbf{6,980}$ human-verified question-answer pairs derived from $\textbf{442}$ real-world videos spanning 8 scene categories, including long-form recordings exceeding 4 hours. Results on VSI-Super-Wild expose a fundamental disconnect: despite advances in static image understanding, models consistently fail at tasks that require coherent world-state tracking over time. We characterize how performance degrades with world-state complexity and temporal horizon, and diagnose four failure modes: spatial collapse, semantic shortcuts, insufficient update, and instance confusion. This taxonomy reveals that models lack mechanisms to bind objects, agents, and environments into a unified spatial world model, a fundamental gap that defines the path forward for spatial supersensing.

Calibrated Closed-Form Uncertainty for Radiative Gaussian Splatting in Sparse-View CT

稀疏视图CT中辐射高斯溅射的校准闭式形式不确定性
Zhao, Chulin, Xu, Yiran, Liu, Shu
Abstract
Radiative Gaussian splatting has made sparse-view CT reconstruction fast, but existing methods output point estimates with no notion of where the reconstruction can be trusted. We exploit a property of transmissive X-ray imaging that RGB splatting cannot claim -- projection and voxelization are strictly linear in the per-Gaussian densities -- to equip radiative Gaussians with a variational density posterior whose predictive variance propagates in closed form, exactly, in a single forward pass, in both volume space ($\sigma^2(x)=\sum_i g_i(x)^2 s_i^2$) and projection space ($\mathrm{Var}[I_p]=\sum_i w_{i,p}^2 s_i^2$). We present the first systematic calibration study for Gaussian-splatting CT (Spearman / AUSE / ECE with temperature scaling), showing that the resulting per-voxel uncertainty ranks true reconstruction error on 14 of 15 scenes of the official benchmark across three view budgets -- 9 of 15 additionally meeting our magnitude-calibration target after a single temperature -- while the perturbation-ensemble heuristic of concurrent work, transplanted to voxel space under the same protocol on our development scenes, does not (rank correlation as low as $-0.08$). We then dissect why uncalibrated acquisition scores can nevertheless select acceptable views, identifying three regimes -- flat (isotropic, balanced), pathological (degenerate coverage), and anisotropic -- and showing, in controlled single-scene testbeds, that principled uncertainty earns a measurable premium only in the last, motivating a coverage-gated, maturity-scheduled acquisition policy; the same calibrated posterior further points toward a dose-adaptive stopping rule, whose experimental validation we leave to future work.

DNA: Dual-stage Native Attribution for Generated Image Source Tracing

DNA:生成图像源追踪的双阶段原生归属方法
Wang, Chao, Chen, Kejiang, Yang, Zijin, Wang, Yaofei, Qi, Yuang, Zhang, Weiming, Yu, Nenghai
Abstract
The rapid evolution of image generation has produced numerous within-family variants, making source-model attribution of suspect images increasingly important for digital forensics. Existing proactive methods rely on watermark embedding or model modification, which may degrade visual quality and limit deployment flexibility. Passive methods often rely on large-scale supervised training or a single reconstruction signal, limiting their ability to handle unknown sources and distinguish highly similar within-family variants. We observe that attribution signals in latent generative models are naturally stratified across architectural levels: VAE-level cues reflect family-shared information, whereas backbone-level cues capture variant-specific behaviors. Motivated by this insight, we propose Dual-stage Native Attribution (DNA), a coarse-to-fine framework that follows this hierarchy without additional neural-network training. The coarse-grained stage uses Autoencoder Double-Reconstruction (AEDR) for efficient open-set family-level screening. The fine-grained stage performs closed-set model-level attribution with Native Prediction Consistency (NPC), which compares native prediction errors of within-family variants across multiple noise levels under semantic conditioning and attributes the source via normalized calibrated scores. To enable systematic evaluation, we construct DNA-30K, a benchmark for within-family variant attribution under open-set family-level evaluation. It comprises 30,000 images generated by 24 candidate models across six families spanning both denoising diffusion and flow matching, plus non-candidate generated and natural images as unknown sources. Experiments show that DNA achieves 89.11% end-to-end attribution accuracy on a task where random guessing accuracy is below 1% and outperforms the strongest baseline by 33.81% even when AEDR is used as the coarse-grained stage.

图像生成的快速发展产生了众多同一家族的变体,使得可疑图像的源模型归属在数字取证中变得愈加重要。现有的主动方法依赖于水印嵌入或模型修改,这可能会降低视觉质量并限制部署灵活性。被动方法通常依赖于大规模的监督训练或单一重建信号,限制了其处理未知源和区分高度相似的同一家族变体的能力。我们观察到潜在生成模型中的归属信号在架构层面上自然分层:变分自编码器(VAE)级别的线索反映了家族共享的信息,而主干级别的线索则捕捉了变体特定的行为。基于这一见解,我们提出了双阶段原生归属(DNA)框架,这是一个从粗到细的框架,遵循这一层次结构而无需额外的神经网络训练。粗粒度阶段使用自编码器双重重建(AEDR)进行高效的开放集家族级筛选。细粒度阶段通过原生预测一致性(NPC)进行闭集模型级归属,该方法比较同一家族变体在语义条件下多个噪声水平下的原生预测误差,并通过归一化校准分数归属源。为了实现系统评估,我们构建了DNA-30K,这是一个用于开放集家族级评估的同一家族变体归属基准。它包含了由24个候选模型生成的30,000张图像,涵盖了六个家族,涉及去噪扩散和流匹配,以及作为未知源的非候选生成图像和自然图像。实验表明,DNA在一个随机猜测准确率低于1%的任务上实现了89.11%的端到端归属准确率,并且即使在使用AEDR作为粗粒度阶段时,仍比最强基线提高了33.81%。

We built a compact convolutional network (1.11 M parameters) for 46-class DHCD Devanagari recognition and reached 99.73%, the highest reported at 15.6x smaller than prior state-of-the-art. We have effectively reached the saturation point: every model tested, large teacher ensembles included, hits the same 11-error intrinsic floor. No configuration achieves a statistically clear win under exact McNemar tests with Wilson confidence intervals. Even without knowledge distillation, our student matches the nearest large-model baseline (17.32 M parameters; McNemar $p = 0.345$). Outside of DHCD, zero-shot on CMATERdb digits gives 76.6% and fine-tuning reaches 97.8%; corruption robustness is also far better than large baselines (mean corruption accuracy 75.7% vs. 38.7%).

Groc-PO: Grounded Context Preference Optimization for Truthful Multimodal LLMs

Groc-PO:用于真实多模态大语言模型的基础上下文偏好优化
Zheng, Zhixiao, Fu, Zheren, Yao, Zhiyuan, Liu, Chunxiao, Zhang, Dongming, Mao, Zhendong
Abstract
Despite the rapid progress of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), they still suffer from untruthfulness issues, such as visual hallucinations, content fabrication, and unfaithful reasoning, which substantially undermine their faithfulness and practical utility. Alignment methods based on human preference, such as Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), have been widely adopted to address these issues. However, multimodal reasoning errors often propagate across stages, and final-answer errors can often be traced to mistakes in early grounding stages, yet standard DPO typically applies preference optimization at the final-answer level. This credit-assignment challenge means that supervision for early grounding stages is indirect rather than stage-specific, making it difficult to suppress error propagation arising from grounding drift and context inconsistency. To address this, we propose Grounded Context Preference Optimization (Groc-PO), a grounded preference optimization framework for MLLMs. We further construct the Grounded Context Preference Dataset (GCPD), organizing multi-stage preference samples around three stages of Object Grounding, Contextual Grounding, and Grounded Reasoning, to capture the formation, integration, and utilization of grounded context. By introducing more explicit preference supervision over multiple grounded stages, Groc-PO strengthens context-dependent reasoning and mitigates cross-stage error propagation. Extensive experiments show that, compared with standard DPO and other strong baselines, Groc-PO achieves improved performance in hallucination mitigation, faithful reasoning, and overall reliability, supporting the value of more explicit grounded supervision for trustworthy multimodal reasoning.

尽管多模态大语言模型(MLLMs)取得了快速进展,但它们仍然面临不真实的问题,例如视觉幻觉、内容虚构和不可靠推理,这些问题严重削弱了它们的可信度和实际效用。基于人类偏好的对齐方法,如直接偏好优化(DPO),已被广泛采用以解决这些问题。然而,多模态推理错误往往在各个阶段之间传播,最终答案的错误通常可以追溯到早期基础阶段的错误,而标准的DPO通常仅在最终答案层面进行偏好优化。这种信用分配挑战意味着对早期基础阶段的监督是间接的,而不是特定于阶段的,这使得抑制因基础漂移和上下文不一致而产生的错误传播变得困难。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了基础上下文偏好优化(Groc-PO),这是一个针对MLLMs的基础偏好优化框架。我们进一步构建了基础上下文偏好数据集(GCPD),围绕对象基础、上下文基础和基础推理三个阶段组织多阶段偏好样本,以捕捉基础上下文的形成、整合和利用。通过在多个基础阶段引入更明确的偏好监督,Groc-PO增强了基于上下文的推理,并减轻了跨阶段的错误传播。大量实验表明,与标准DPO和其他强基线相比,Groc-PO在幻觉缓解、可靠推理和整体可靠性方面取得了更好的性能,支持了对可信多模态推理进行更明确的基础监督的价值。

Anatomically Faithful but Temporally Blind: Auditing Attribution for Left-Ventricular Ejection-Fraction Estimation from Echocardiography

解剖上忠实但时间上盲目:对超声心动图左心室射血分数估计的归因审计
Han, Hyunkyung, Kim, Min Jung
Abstract
Background and Objective: Deep video models estimate left-ventricular ejection fraction (EF) from echocardiography with near-expert accuracy, and post-hoc attribution (Chefer relevance for transformers, Grad-CAM for CNNs) is increasingly used to certify that models "look at the right place." Yet whether these explanations are faithful both spatially and temporally is unaudited. Because EF is defined by the end-systolic (ES) and end-diastolic (ED) frames, a faithful explanation must localize the left ventricle (space) and the decisive frames (time). Methods: We fine-tune two distinct EF regressors on EchoNet-Dynamic -- a self-supervised VideoMAE transformer and a Kinetics-pretrained R(2+1)D CNN -- and audit each with architecture-matched attribution along three axes: intersection-over-relevance (IoR) against LV masks, deletion AUC, and a temporal localization index on ES/ED frames, each relative to chance with per-case 95% CIs over 50 studies. A tubelet-occlusion probe separates attribution failure from model behavior. Results: Both models are anatomically faithful -- IoR 2.91x (VideoMAE) and 1.98x (R(2+1)D) above chance -- yet temporally blind: temporal localization is indistinguishable from chance (0.97--1.00) and no better than random attribution. Occlusion shows the models do not preferentially rely on ES/ED (0.90x chance), so temporal blindness reflects model behavior, not an attribution artifact. Conclusions: Spatial faithfulness does not imply temporal faithfulness. Attribution can certify anatomical grounding while masking that a model ignores the clinically decisive frames -- a caution for XAI-based validation of video diagnostic models and a call for temporally-aware training and evaluation.

背景与目的:深度视频模型能够以接近专家的准确性从超声心动图中估计左心室射血分数(EF),并且后期归因(如变压器的 Chefer 相关性,卷积神经网络的 Grad-CAM)越来越多地被用来验证模型是否“关注正确的位置”。然而,这些解释在空间和时间上是否都忠实尚未经过审计。由于 EF 是由收缩末期(ES)和舒张末期(ED)帧定义的,因此一个忠实的解释必须定位左心室(空间)和决定性帧(时间)。方法:我们在 EchoNet-Dynamic 上微调了两个不同的 EF 回归模型——一个自监督的 VideoMAE 变压器和一个基于 Kinetics 预训练的 R(2+1)D 卷积神经网络,并沿三个轴对每个模型进行架构匹配的归因审计:与 LV 掩膜的相关性交集(IoR)、删除 AUC 和在 ES/ED 帧上的时间定位指数,每个相对于随机情况的 95% 置信区间(CI)基于 50 个研究。一个 tubelet-遮挡探针将归因失败与模型行为分开。结果:两个模型在解剖上都是忠实的——IoR 分别为 2.91 倍(VideoMAE)和 1.98 倍(R(2+1)D),高于随机情况——但在时间上是盲目的:时间定位与随机情况无异(0.97--1.00),并且没有比随机归因更好。遮挡显示模型并不优先依赖于 ES/ED(0.90 倍随机情况),因此时间盲目反映了模型行为,而不是归因伪影。结论:空间忠实性并不意味着时间忠实性。归因可以证明解剖基础,同时掩盖模型忽视临床决定性帧的事实——这是对基于可解释人工智能(XAI)的视频诊断模型验证的警示,也是对时间感知训练和评估的呼吁。

EgoProceVQA: A Novel Egocentric Procedural Understanding Task with Self-Skill-Exploration Agent

EgoProceVQA:一种新颖的自我中心程序理解任务与自我技能探索智能体
Li, Junlong, Li, Junxi, Yang, Yuxiang, Zou, Wenbin, Chau, Lap-Pui, Wang, Yi
Abstract
Most daily activities are inherently procedural. However, existing evaluations for egocentric video understanding seldom address procedural understanding and largely overlook complex key-step-level reasoning under the widely used video question answering (VQA) paradigm for MLLMs. Such capabilities are crucial for building procedural AI assistants deployable on wearable devices. To bridge this gap, we introduce the Egocentric Procedural Understanding VQA task (EgoProceVQA), which systematically evaluates egocentric procedural reasoning abilities of current MLLMs and agents through six types of key-step-centric questions. Furthermore, we develop EgoProceGen, a data generation platform that efficiently constructs QA data tailored to different question types. Based on this platform, we build a benchmark with 3,600 questions, four common procedural scenarios, and 31 everyday procedural tasks. Evaluations on EgoProceVQA show that existing MLLMs and agents still have substantial room for improvement in procedural understanding. Therefore, we further propose EgoProceAgent, a self-skill-exploration agentic framework. We design a generic tool library for procedural understanding and a standardized sub-skill library shared across tools and models, enabling self-exploration without ground-truth supervision. By exploring how to compose and select sub-skills, the agent discovers effective skill strategies for diverse problems, and attains state-of-the-art performance among open-source models on multiple tasks.

Prospective clinical indication, post-hoc report leakage, and fusion design in multi-image chest radiograph classification: a patient-clustered evaluation

多图像胸部X光分类中的前瞻性临床指征、事后报告泄漏和融合设计:患者聚类评估
Shahid, Kamran, Iqbal, Muhammad Munwar
Abstract
Chest radiograph datasets often combine multiple images with Clinical Indication, Findings, and Impression, although these inputs are produced at different stages of care. We evaluated 15,000 ReXGradient-160K studies with two readable images and five CheXbert-derived report observations. Frozen DenseNet-121 and Bio+ClinicalBERT encoders were used to compare image-only, Indication-only, fixed-order multimodal, random-swap, DeepSets, and SectionGuard-MI models. Findings and Impression were evaluated only as post-hoc leakage controls. Models were trained with five seeds, and public-test uncertainty was estimated with 2,000 patient-cluster bootstrap replicates. Under U-Ones, macro AUROC was 0.643 for the primary image, 0.694 for two images, 0.749 for Indication, and 0.780 for ordinary two-image-plus-Indication fusion. SectionGuard-MI achieved AUROC 0.783 and AUPRC 0.260. Relative to ordinary fusion, its paired AUROC difference was 0.0031 (95% CI, -0.0042 to 0.0104; adjusted p=0.374), while its AUPRC difference was 0.0289 (95% CI, 0.0095 to 0.0413; adjusted p=0.004). DeepSets had the highest prospective AUROC point estimate (0.787), and random-swap fusion had the highest prospective AUPRC point estimate (0.265) with better calibration than SectionGuard-MI. Full report text alone reached AUROC 0.979 and AUPRC 0.836; AUROC remained above 0.973 after exact or expanded masking. These results show that prospective Indication is strongly associated with report-derived targets, permutation-aware fusion is competitive, and post-hoc report text creates substantial report-label circularity.

RainDancer: RGB-Event Video Deraining with Rain-Oriented Spiking Dynamics

RainDancer:基于雨水导向脉冲动态的RGB-事件视频去雨方法
Jiang, Kui, Li, Runzhe, Yu, Zhaocheng, Sun, Guanglu, Jiang, Junjun, Liu, Xianming
Abstract
Video deraining aims to recover clean visual content from rainy videos for reliable perception under adverse weather. Existing methods mainly rely on RGB sequences and temporal redundancy, but RGB-only restoration remains ambiguous in dynamic rainy scenes, where rain streaks, textures, boundaries, motion, and occlusions may share similar visual patterns. Event cameras provide complementary motion-sensitive cues with high temporal resolution, but event streams also contain sensor noise and background-triggered responses, so direct RGB-Event fusion may introduce cross-modal interference. To address this issue, we propose RainDancer, a progressive RGB-Event video deraining framework based on a decompose-before-interact paradigm. The core idea is to separate rain and background components within each modality before cross-modal interaction. In the RGB branch, frame features are progressively decomposed into rain and background representations. In the event branch, a rain-oriented spiking neural network module captures sparse and bursty event dynamics associated with rain motion. Component-level fusion is then performed between semantically aligned representations for structure preservation and rain suppression. We further introduce event-domain supervision to regularize sparse event reconstruction, structural consistency, and gradient orientation. Experiments on synthetic and real RGB-Event video deraining datasets demonstrate superior quantitative performance, visual quality, and downstream perception robustness.

视频去雨旨在从雨天视频中恢复干净的视觉内容,以便在恶劣天气条件下实现可靠的感知。现有方法主要依赖RGB序列和时间冗余,但仅依靠RGB的恢复在动态雨天场景中仍然模糊,因为雨滴、纹理、边界、运动和遮挡可能共享相似的视觉模式。事件相机提供了高时间分辨率的运动敏感线索,但事件流也包含传感器噪声和背景触发的响应,因此直接进行RGB-事件融合可能会引入跨模态干扰。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了RainDancer,一个基于分解后交互范式的渐进式RGB-事件视频去雨框架。其核心思想是在跨模态交互之前,先在每个模态内分离雨水和背景成分。在RGB分支中,帧特征逐步分解为雨水和背景表示。在事件分支中,一个雨水导向的脉冲神经网络模块捕捉与雨水运动相关的稀疏和突发事件动态。然后在语义对齐的表示之间进行成分级融合,以保持结构并抑制雨水。我们进一步引入事件域监督,以规范稀疏事件重建、结构一致性和梯度方向。对合成和真实RGB-事件视频去雨数据集的实验表明,所提方法在定量性能、视觉质量和下游感知鲁棒性方面表现优越。代码可在 https://github.com/AE86-plus/RainDancer 获取。

AspectCLIP: Optimizing CLIP Representation Space via Aspect-Guided Consistency Regularization

AspectCLIP:通过方面引导的一致性正则化优化 CLIP 表示空间
Yao, Yiyang, Liu, Shanglin, Lv, Jianming, Wang, Chengjun, Li, Jinyi, Jie, Yuchan, Jin, Zhihua
Abstract
Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining learns a shared representation space through large-scale contrastive learning. However, existing methods that enforce global consistency regularization overlook a key challenge: the inherent information asymmetry between images and text: captions typically describe only one specific aspect of an image, thus images with similar visual content can be paired with completely divergent textual content and semantic information. Consequently, global regularizers inadvertently impose constraints between visually similar images whose captions describe divergent aspects, introducing semantic distortion into the representation space. We propose AspectCLIP, a framework that reformulates consistency regularization to respect this one-to-many structure. AspectCLIP first partitions training samples into attribute clusters based on textual similarity to identify aspect-coherent groups, then applies full cyclic consistency within each cluster while restricting cross-cluster regularization to prototype-level comparisons. This aspect-guided regularization enforces strict geometric alignment only when images and texts describe a consistent facet, while allowing flexibility across divergent aspects. Extensive experiments on downstream tasks demonstrate that AspectCLIP consistently outperforms traditional methods and achieves a more structured representation space.

对比语言-图像预训练通过大规模对比学习学习共享表示空间。然而,现有的强制全局一致性正则化的方法忽视了一个关键挑战:图像和文本之间固有的信息不对称性:标题通常只描述图像的一个特定方面,因此具有相似视觉内容的图像可以与完全不同的文本内容和语义信息配对。因此,全局正则化器无意中对视觉上相似但标题描述不同方面的图像施加约束,从而在表示空间中引入语义扭曲。我们提出了 AspectCLIP,一个重新构建一致性正则化以尊重这种一对多结构的框架。AspectCLIP 首先根据文本相似性将训练样本划分为属性聚类,以识别方面一致的组,然后在每个聚类内应用全循环一致性,同时将跨聚类正则化限制为原型级比较。这种方面引导的正则化仅在图像和文本描述一致的方面时强制严格的几何对齐,同时允许在不同方面之间的灵活性。在下游任务上的大量实验表明,AspectCLIP 一直优于传统方法,并实现了更结构化的表示空间。

Bake It Till You Make It: Ultrafast Spatial Texture-Atlas Splatting

坚持到底:超快速空间纹理图集喷涂
Kelkar, Neel, Niedermayr, Simon, Petkov, Kaloian, Engel, Klaus, Westermann, Rüdiger
Abstract
Recent extensions of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) capture fine color details using hash-grid-based appearance parameterization but incur high computational cost during fragment rendering. We introduce a decoupled radiance representation that models low-frequency geometry and view dependent appearance features with 2D surfels while representing high-frequency textures via a view-independent spatial hash grid that is baked into a compact texture atlas. By including sparsity-enhancing optimizations that penalize semi-transparency and per-primitive falloff, our method aggressively prunes insignificant surfels and achieves significantly faster and sparser reconstructions than prior work. Exploiting geometric sparsity and efficient GPU texture mapping, our approach achieves up to a fivefold speedup over 3DGS while preserving state-of-the-art visual fidelity, enabling real-time 4K rendering at 60 FPS on consumer hardware.

Abstract
Accurate determination of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) resectability relies on evaluating how the tumor interacts with major peripancreatic vessels on CT imaging, yet expert assessment often shows substantial variability. We introduce a fully automated multimodal deep learning framework that jointly analyzes 3D contrast enhanced CT and structured clinical information to classify patients into the three National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) resectability categories (upfront resectable, borderline resectable, locally advanced). The approach uses a Swin-UNETR backbone to obtain anatomy aware image representations through auxiliary segmentation of pancreas, tumor, and vascular structures. These features are fused with a compact clinical embedding derived from 17 routinely collected variables and processed by a lightweight classification head. Model training is guided by a dynamic multitask objective that adapts the balance between segmentation and classification based on current tumor Dice performance, promoting feature representations that remain both anatomically informed and discriminative.

Towards Enhancing 3D Spatial Reasoning in Medical Multimodal Large Language Models

提升医学多模态大语言模型中的三维空间推理能力
Fu, Zhuoyuan, Li, Zeshang, Zhang, Yiqiong, Lin, Hangui, Shu, Yan, Li, Yan, Li, Binyang, Zhao, Yaru
Abstract
While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable success in 2D medical image understanding, their extension to 3D volumetric imaging remains hindered by prohibitive annotation costs and dataset opacity. Current data formats, predominantly consisting of rigid Visual Question Answering (VQA) pairs or unstructured final clinical reports, typically fail to capture explicit clinical reasoning. To address this limitation, we introduce a large-scale structured reasoning dataset constructed via a novel slice-wise data synthesis paradigm. Inspired by the genuine diagnostic workflow of radiologists, this paradigm models visual cognition by decomposing the complex 3D reading process, translating global clinical priors into fine-grained, per-slice observations that are subsequently synthesized into an interpretable Chain-of-Thought (CoT). Crucially, this synthesized reasoning framework enforces essential clinical principles: sequential spatial tracking, multi-slice spatial awareness for artifact mitigation, and differential exclusion. To validate this approach, we instruction-tune a standard 2D-pretrained MLLM baseline using the synthesized data to enhance its volumetric comprehension. Comprehensive evaluations across multiple 3D medical benchmarks demonstrate that our method yields significant performance improvements over the 2D baseline. Furthermore, the resulting model exhibits robust spatial reasoning capabilities and rivals resource-intensive native 3D architectures, effectively bridging the performance gap. Ultimately, this data-centric strategy unlocks deep volumetric understanding and highly interpretable clinical logic without requiring computationally expensive 3D-specific pre-training. The complete repository, including datasets and training workflows, is publicly available at https://github.com/2020420145009/hounsfield.

Unleashing Multimodal Large Language Models for Training-free HOI Detection in the Wild

释放多模态大型语言模型以实现无训练的人物-物体交互检测
Lei, Ting, Liu, Jialin, Xu, Zhu, Peng, Yuxin, Liu, Yang
Abstract
Human-object interaction detection (HOID) has traditionally been formulated as a supervised detection problem over predefined interaction categories. While such paradigms achieve strong performance on closed-set benchmarks, they fundamentally entangle interaction understanding with dataset-specific supervision, limiting their ability to generalize to open-world and compositional scenarios. Recent HOI detectors attempt to leverage MLLMs through prompting strategies to transfer interaction-specific knowledge. However, such prompt-based approaches primarily focus on extracting discriminative representations from pretrained models, while underexploring their inherent multimodal reasoning capabilities. As a result, they struggle to provide informative contextual reasoning for ambiguous and open-world interaction scenarios. In this work, we present AgentHOI, a training-free, agentic framework that transfers the generalist multimodal reasoning capabilities of foundation models to HOI detection in the wild. Instead of learning interaction classifiers, AgentHOI modularly orchestrates complementary vision foundation modules to perform open-ended semantic reasoning and spatial grounding in a coordinated manner. To address the challenges of incomplete interaction discovery and ambiguous localization in complex scenes, we introduce two key mechanisms: (1) Context-aware Multi-round Reasoning, which progressively refines interaction hypotheses to ensure exhaustive and compositional HOI discovery, and (2) Multifaceted Interaction Localization, which enhances grounding precision by generating instance-specific descriptions that integrate semantic, spatial, and appearance cues. Extensive experiments demonstrate that AgentHOI achieves superior performance over state-of-the-art supervised and weakly supervised methods in real-world settings, despite requiring no HOID data for training.

人物-物体交互检测(HOID)传统上被视为一个在预定义交互类别上进行的监督检测问题。尽管这种范式在封闭集基准测试中取得了良好的性能,但它们在本质上将交互理解与特定数据集的监督纠缠在一起,限制了其在开放世界和组合场景中的泛化能力。近期的人物-物体交互检测器尝试通过提示策略利用多模态大型语言模型(MLLMs)来转移交互特定知识。然而,这种基于提示的方法主要集中在从预训练模型中提取区分性表示,而对其固有的多模态推理能力探索不足。因此,它们在为模糊和开放世界交互场景提供信息丰富的上下文推理方面面临挑战。在本研究中,我们提出了AgentHOI,一个无训练的、具有代理性的框架,将基础模型的通用多模态推理能力转移到开放环境中的HOI检测上。AgentHOI并不是学习交互分类器,而是模块化地协调互补的视觉基础模块,以协同方式执行开放式的语义推理和空间定位。为了解决复杂场景中不完整交互发现和模糊定位的挑战,我们引入了两个关键机制:(1)上下文感知的多轮推理,逐步细化交互假设,以确保全面和组合的HOI发现;(2)多面交互定位,通过生成集成语义、空间和外观线索的实例特定描述来增强定位精度。大量实验表明,尽管AgentHOI在训练中不需要HOID数据,但在现实世界设置中仍优于最先进的监督和弱监督方法。

Fine-Grained Vision-Language Pretraining with Organ-Conditioned Pattern Tokens for CT Understanding

基于器官条件模式标记的细粒度视觉-语言预训练用于CT理解
You, Guoliang, Chu, Xiaomeng
Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) vision-language pretraining from paired volumes and radiology reports is a scalable yet challenging task. Existing methods commonly adopt global scan-report contrast, which is scalable but obscures heterogeneous organ evidence. Meanwhile, direct organ-level alignment remains coarse, since the same anatomy can exhibit multiple distinct radiological appearances. Therefore, pretraining requires a finer alignment unit: the organ-conditioned radiological pattern. In this work, we propose OCP-CT, an organ-conditioned pattern-token alignment framework for CT vision-language pretraining. Specifically, OCP-CT preserves a stable global CT-report contrastive branch and introduces an organ pattern interface: sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routes image and text tokens according to latent radiological patterns, learnable slots query the routed tokens into continuous pattern tokens, and paired token contrast aligns image-text pattern tokens with structured soft targets built from report-derived clinical similarity. On the publicly available CT-RATE and RAD-ChestCT benchmarks, OCP-CT achieves average AUROCs of 84.5% and 69.9% for zero-shot abnormality diagnosis, respectively. Compared with the strongest prior reported results, these results yield absolute AUROC gains of 6.7 and 0.8 percentage points.

从配对的体积和放射学报告中进行计算机断层扫描(CT)视觉-语言预训练是一项可扩展但具有挑战性的任务。现有方法通常采用全局扫描-报告对比,这虽然可扩展,但会掩盖异质器官证据。同时,直接的器官级对齐仍然较为粗糙,因为相同的解剖结构可能表现出多种不同的放射学外观。因此,预训练需要一个更精细的对齐单元:器官条件放射学模式。在本研究中,我们提出了OCP-CT,一个用于CT视觉-语言预训练的器官条件模式标记对齐框架。具体而言,OCP-CT保留了一个稳定的全局CT-报告对比分支,并引入了一个器官模式接口:稀疏专家混合(Mixture-of-Experts, MoE)根据潜在的放射学模式路由图像和文本标记,可学习的槽位查询将路由的标记转化为连续的模式标记,配对标记对比将图像-文本模式标记与从报告派生的临床相似性构建的结构化软目标对齐。在公开可用的CT-RATE和RAD-ChestCT基准上,OCP-CT在零样本异常诊断中分别达到了84.5%和69.9%的平均AUROC。与之前报告的最强结果相比,这些结果分别带来了6.7和0.8个百分点的绝对AUROC提升。

Abstract
The International StepUP Competition Series was launched to advance research in pressure-based footstep biometrics through a standardized and challenging evaluation framework. Using the large-scale StepUP-P150 dataset (with more than 200,000 high-resolution dynamic footsteps from 150 individuals) and a previously unreleased test set, the 2nd edition of the competition addressed three key challenges: (1) generalization to unseen users with limited enrollment data, (2) robustness to domain shift caused by variations in footwear and walking speed and (3) effective fusion of paired left-right footsteps. While the first two challenges built on the inaugural competition, this edition introduced more extreme cross-domain conditions and moved beyond isolated footsteps to stride-level verification, enabling new opportunities for representation learning and inter-step information fusion. The competition attracted 26 registrants from academia and industry, with a best equal error rate of 8.00% achieved by the ArogyaPandit Research Team using a spatiotemporal CNN combined with an ensemble-based scoring strategy. The top solutions showcase the value of harnessing temporal patterns and of incorporating inference-time normalization and calibration strategies to improve scoring. However, the results also reveal that recognizing users in unseen personal footwear remains a challenge, especially in the presence of distractors with similar characteristics.

Thresholded Cross-Attention for Reliable Intensity-Chromaticity Fusion in Low-Light Image Enhancement

阈值交叉注意力在低光图像增强中的可靠强度-色度融合
Wu, Yanyi, Zhang, Xu, Chen, Junkai, Chang, Laibin, Ma, Jiaqi, Chen, Shi, Zhu, Linwei, Di, Jianglei, Zhang, Huan
Abstract
Low-Light Image Enhancement (LLIE) requires a careful balance among noise suppression, color fidelity, and efficiency. Recent HVI-based methods alleviate color entanglement by decoupling intensity and chromaticity, yet how reliably the two streams are fused again is an overlooked factor that largely determines the final quality. We observe that the confidence of cross-stream attention is strongly layer-dependent, so the fixed-quota selection of Top-K sparse attention is mismatched to it, discarding informative dependencies in some layers while retaining noisy ones in others. Motivated by this observation, we propose TCA-Net, a network built around Thresholded Cross-Attention that targets reliable intensity-chromaticity fusion in the HVI space rather than introducing yet another color representation. At its core, TCA replaces the rigid Top-K quota with a fixed confidence threshold whose retained cardinality is input- and layer-adaptive, retaining only high-confidence cross-stream interactions while suppressing unreliable ones. Around this core, two complementary designs clean up the fusion before and after it: a Phase-guided Fourier Interaction Module provides a structure-aware brightness initialization for the intensity stream prior to fusion, and a Decoupled Dual-Stream Guidance Module constructs residual intensity features to suppress chromaticity leakage during reconstruction. A Scale-Aware Consistency Regularization further improves structural robustness under scale perturbations during training. Extensive experiments on LOL-v1, LOL-v2, Sony-Total-Dark, and LSRW-Huawei demonstrate that TCA-Net delivers competitive restoration accuracy, improved color fidelity, and a compact parameter size.

低光图像增强(LLIE)需要在噪声抑制、色彩保真度和效率之间进行仔细平衡。最近的基于HVI(高动态范围图像)的方法通过解耦强度和色度来缓解色彩纠缠,但如何可靠地再次融合这两个流是一个被忽视的因素,它在很大程度上决定了最终质量。我们观察到,跨流注意力的信心在很大程度上依赖于层,因此固定配额的Top-K稀疏注意力与之不匹配,导致某些层中丢弃了有信息的依赖关系,而在其他层中保留了噪声依赖关系。基于这一观察,我们提出了TCA-Net,一个围绕阈值交叉注意力构建的网络,旨在HVI空间中实现可靠的强度-色度融合,而不是引入另一种颜色表示。TCA的核心是用一个固定的信心阈值替换刚性的Top-K配额,其保留的基数是输入和层自适应的,仅保留高信心的跨流交互,同时抑制不可靠的交互。在这个核心周围,两个互补设计在融合前后清理融合过程:一个相位引导的傅里叶交互模块在融合之前为强度流提供结构感知的亮度初始化,而一个解耦双流引导模块构建残差强度特征,以抑制重建过程中色度泄漏。一个尺度感知一致性正则化进一步提高了训练过程中在尺度扰动下的结构鲁棒性。在LOL-v1、LOL-v2、Sony-Total-Dark和LSRW-Huawei上的大量实验表明,TCA-Net提供了竞争性的恢复精度、改善的色彩保真度和紧凑的参数规模。

Abstract
Reliable perception under diverse weather conditions remains a major challenge for autonomous driving systems. A common strategy to improve robustness is either to synthesize adverse weather conditions for training perception models or to apply weather-removal techniques to recover clean inputs. However, existing approaches typically rely on synthetic data augmentation or physics-based, task-specific models that require paired training data and often struggle to generate realistic weather effects or generalize robustly to out-of-domain scenarios. Toward this problem, we present Cyclone, a unified framework for weather editing based on latent diffusion, equipped with cycle-consistent constraints and knowledge from image-text models. Cyclone enables the generation of multiple weather conditions across diverse scenes while eliminating the need for paired data. Experimental results show that our approach produces more realistic, structure-preserving outputs than existing baselines and leads to consistent improvements across several downstream driving perception tasks. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Cyclone can be distilled to a video diffusion model for temporally consistent weather editing.

SIVA-RL: Sensitivity-Invariance Visual Alignment for Multimodal Reinforcement Learning

SIVA-RL:用于多模态强化学习的敏感性不变视觉对齐
Tang, Cheng, Ning, Junzhi, Cen, Min, Li, Wei, Zeng, Xinyi, Zeng, Pinxian, Li, Rongbin, Zhu, Qiming, Li, Yuqiang, He, Junjun, Chen, Yirong, Hu, Ming
Abstract
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) drives multimodal reasoning, but answer-level correctness does not guarantee that a vision-language model grounds its predictions in visual evidence. Existing visual-intervention methods contrast policy behavior on original and modified images, yet assign supervision by the type of intervention rather than its observed effect. This assumption fails: identical operators produce heterogeneous outcomes across samples. We propose SIVA-RL, a Sensitivity-Invariance Visual Alignment framework that replaces operator-conditioned regularization with sample-wise, outcome-conditioned supervision. SIVA-RL constructs localized interventions through token-aligned, distance-constrained within-image PatchSwap. A frozen audit policy then scores each clean-intervention pair, and the observed reward drop becomes soft routing weights. Large-drop pairs drive sensitivity alignment, low-drop pairs drive clean-anchored invariance alignment, and ambiguous pairs are down-weighted. This design decouples intervention construction from supervision assignment and is compatible with both GRPO and DAPO backbones. Across nine multimodal reasoning benchmarks spanning mathematical, logical, and vision-dependent tasks, SIVA-RL improves 3B and 7B models over matched RL baselines in every setting. It yields an 8.79 percentage-point gain on vision-dependent reasoning and up to 14.9% relative overall improvement across all four GRPO- and DAPO-based configurations.

Abstract
Arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy is a genetic myocardial disease difficult to diagnose due to the lack of gold standard criteria. Simultaneous PET/MR imaging, combined with multiparametric quantitative analysis, could facilitate the identification of different profiles related to the phenotype and progression of cardiomyopathy. This preliminary study focuses on a methodological strategy for dealing with PET/MRI data, including inter-patient data linkage and regional analysis. Two-step clustering was applied to T1 and T2 maps, LGE, and 18F-FDG-PET images of 99 patients genetically diagnosed with arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy. Each patient's images were independently z-scored and summed into a single volume, which was clustered into supervoxels. Thirty-two inter-patient groups of supervoxels were obtained by spectral clustering. An "abnormality" score was assigned to each cluster and modality, and used to visualise abnormal regions likely associated with disease. They enabled the generation of automated textual and bullseye health reports for each patient, which were compared with cardiac imager assessments using balanced accuracy in repeated nested cross-validation. This approach was further validated on a larger cohort of 167 numerical phantoms. The reports generated by clustering accurately identified most of the cardiac physicians' observations (BA = 0.76 $\pm$ 0.04 in repeated nested cross-validation on patients, and BA $\ge$ 0.8 on phantoms). Furthermore, the identified abnormal clusters closely matched their visual observations, facilitating the identification of varying degrees of fibrosis or inflammation on the images. This approach enables a more systematic handling of multimodal PET/MRI data to characterise myocardial heterogeneity in arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy patients.

Peak-End-Net: A Peak-End Rule Inspired Framework for Generalizable Video Aesthetic Assessment

Peak-End-Net:一种受峰值-结束法则启发的可推广视频美学评估框架
Li, Geng, Li, Haiwen, Chen, Rui, Tang, Jing, Sun, Lei, Chu, Xiangxiang
Abstract
Video aesthetic assessment (VAA) aims to predict how aesthetically pleasing a video is, yet remains far less explored than other visual assessment tasks. Its progress is hindered not only by the scarcity of large-scale benchmarks, but also by the intrinsic subjectivity of aesthetic judgment, which is shaped by human perception. In this paper, we revisit VAA from a psychological perspective and propose \textit{Peak-End-Net}, a lightweight and interpretable framework inspired by the \textit{peak-end rule}, which suggests that people tend to judge a temporal experience mainly according to its salient moments and the ending. Building on this intuition, we first transfer knowledge from image aesthetic assessment (IAA) to VAA by introducing a pretrained IAA head to produce frame-wise aesthetic priors, which serve as surrogate signals for identifying aesthetically salient moments and guiding \textit{peak-end rule}-based temporal aggregation. To further capture how a video evolves aesthetically over time, we design an aesthetic rhythm encoder that models temporal progression beyond isolated moments. Additionally, we refine the overall assessment through a dynamic gated fusion mechanism to improve robustness under distribution shift. Our method is built on a frozen vision transformer (ViT) and requires only a small number of trainable parameters, making it scalable and parameter-efficient. Extensive experiments on two existing VAA benchmarks, including in-domain evaluation on VADB and cross-domain testing on DIVIDE-3K, demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance, affirming the value of psychologically grounded modeling for VAA. Our code and models are available at https://github.com/AMAP-ML/Peak-End-Net.

视频美学评估(VAA)旨在预测视频的美学愉悦度,但相较于其他视觉评估任务,其研究仍然较为不足。其进展不仅受到大规模基准稀缺的制约,还受到美学判断固有的主观性的影响,这种主观性受到人类感知的塑造。在本文中,我们从心理学的角度重新审视VAA,并提出了 extit{Peak-End-Net},这是一个轻量且可解释的框架,受 extit{峰值-结束法则}的启发,该法则表明人们倾向于主要根据经历中的显著时刻和结尾来判断时间体验。基于这一直觉,我们首先通过引入一个预训练的图像美学评估(IAA)头,将知识从图像美学评估转移到视频美学评估,以生成逐帧的美学先验,这些先验作为识别美学显著时刻的替代信号,并指导基于 extit{峰值-结束法则}的时间聚合。为了进一步捕捉视频在时间上的美学演变,我们设计了一个美学节奏编码器,建模超越孤立时刻的时间进程。此外,我们通过动态门控融合机制优化整体评估,以提高在分布变化下的鲁棒性。我们的方法基于冻结的视觉变换器(ViT),仅需少量可训练参数,具有可扩展性和参数效率。在两个现有的VAA基准上进行的广泛实验,包括在VADB上的领域内评估和在DIVIDE-3K上的跨领域测试,证明了我们的方法达到了最先进的性能,确认了基于心理学建模在VAA中的价值。我们的代码和模型可在https://github.com/AMAP-ML/Peak-End-Net获取。

PlumeQuant: Uncertainty-aware consistency assessment of methane plume masks and emission-rate estimates

PlumeQuant:基于不确定性的甲烷羽流掩膜和排放率估计的一致性评估
Khiabani, Parisa Masnadi, Jentner, Wolfgang, Rangrazjeddi, Alireza, Wimberly, Michael C., Weng, Binbin, Ebert, David, Nicholson, Charles
Abstract
Imaging spectrometers increasingly distribute source-resolved methane plume products in which the plume mask, integrated mass enhancement (IME), plume length, emission rate, and uncertainty are physically and algorithmically linked. Using 63 EMIT-derived Carbon Mapper plume records from 27 scenes, we show that these published scalar quantities do not uniquely constrain the plume boundary: substantially different yet plausible masks reproduce the same IME, plume length, and emission rate. Genetic-algorithm (GA) ensembles conditioned on the published IME and plume length make this equifinality explicit: the high-confidence core selected by nearly all target-consistent masks covers a median of 13% of the plausible footprint envelope, and ambiguity is largest for weak, low-overlap plumes. The diagnostics come from PlumeQuant, which recomputes IME, plume length, emission rate, and five-term uncertainty from distributed product components under stated conventions and evaluates four mask representations: the distributed reference mask, a transparent Carbon Mapper-informed analogue (CM-like), the GA ensemble, and optional expert edits. The CM-like mask is generated per plume without access to the reference mask or published quantities, with settings fixed once on a scene-disjoint 44-plume development split. It reproduced published IME with +0.72% median difference and emission rate with +0.16% (6.98% mean absolute), reached 0.843 median intersection-over-union against the reference masks, and matched the published uncertainty scale (median ratio 1.01). Holdout mean absolute errors were 7.6% (IME), 9.5% (length), and 6.1% (rate). These are product-level consistency diagnostics, not independent validation. They flag weak, offset, or ambiguous plumes for expert review.

CF-Net: Conflict Fusion with Speaker Normalisation and Certainty Weighting for Ambivalence/Hesitancy Recognition

CF-Net:通过说话者规范化和确定性加权进行冲突融合以识别矛盾/犹豫
Bui, Tung Hung, Nguyen, Hong Hai, Huynh, Van Thong
Abstract
Detecting ambivalence and hesitancy (AH) in unconstrained video is challenging because the target signal is inherently ambiguous and expressed through subtle cross-modal incongruence rather than prototypical affect. We present CF-Net, a deep multimodal network submitted to the 3rd Edition of the AH Video Recognition Challenge (ABAW 11th, ECCV 2026), targeting the BAH dataset. CF-Net encodes visual, audio, and transcript streams with frozen SigLIP2, HuBERT, and DistilBERT backbones, normalises backbone features per speaker to reduce identity leakage, and fuses them via a ConflictFusion module that explicitly computes pairwise cross-modal incongruence. Training combines certainty-weighted focal loss, manifold mixup, and modality dropout; an auxiliary certainty-regression head leverages ambiguity annotations to stabilise learning on genuinely borderline samples. CF-Net achieves a Macro F1 of 0.7155 on the BAH validation set and 0.7364 (AP = 0.7492) on the private challenge test set.

Music-to-Dance Generation via Atomic Movements

基于原子动作的音乐舞蹈生成
Cai, Xinhao, Sun, Yixuan, Zheng, Minghang, Chen, Qingchao, Jin, Xin, Zhu, Song-chun, Liu, Yang
Abstract
Music-driven dance generation aims to produce human motion that is both rhythmically synchronized and semantically consistent with music. While recent neural approaches have achieved impressive visual realism, they typically model motion as a continuous signal and neglect its compositional nature, making generated dances structurally incoherent and difficult to control. In this work, we introduce a structure-aware framework that models choreography as a sequence of atomic movements-semantically interpretable motion events that serve as the building blocks of dance. To construct this atomic movement vocabulary, we first segment large-scale dance data and cluster them into atomic movement groups. We then employ a large language model to semantically relabel and refine the clusters, yielding a set of interpretable and reusable atomic movements. Based on these atomic movement annotations, we design a two-stage generation framework that mirrors the human choreography process. In the atomic movement planning stage, the model predicts the type, duration, and timing of atomic movements conditioned on the input music, forming a symbolic dance allocation. In the completion stage, a transition-aware generator synthesizes smooth and stylistically coherent motion conditioned on the planned structure. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method produces dances with significantly improved structural coherence, rhythmic alignment, and perceptual naturalness compared to existing baselines, while providing enhanced interpretability and controllable editing through explicit structural representation.

音乐驱动的舞蹈生成旨在产生与音乐在节奏上同步且在语义上一致的人类动作。尽管最近的神经网络方法在视觉真实感方面取得了令人印象深刻的成果,但它们通常将动作建模为连续信号,忽视了其组合特性,从而导致生成的舞蹈结构不连贯且难以控制。在本研究中,我们提出了一种结构感知框架,将编舞建模为一系列原子动作——可语义解释的运动事件,作为舞蹈的基本构建块。为了构建这一原子动作词汇,我们首先对大规模舞蹈数据进行分段,并将其聚类为原子动作组。然后,我们利用大型语言模型对聚类进行语义重新标注和精炼,从而生成一组可解释且可重复使用的原子动作。基于这些原子动作注释,我们设计了一个两阶段生成框架,模拟人类编舞过程。在原子动作规划阶段,模型根据输入音乐预测原子动作的类型、持续时间和时机,形成符号舞蹈分配。在完成阶段,过渡感知生成器根据规划的结构合成平滑且风格一致的运动。大量实验表明,与现有基准相比,我们的方法生成的舞蹈在结构连贯性、节奏对齐和感知自然性方面显著提升,同时通过明确的结构表示提供了更好的可解释性和可控编辑。

Screening Is Effective for Visual Recognition

筛选在视觉识别中的有效性
Shimomura, Shunya, Hotta, Kazuhiro
Abstract
Vision Transformer (ViT) has been widely used as a powerful framework for modeling global dependencies among image patches. However, its core component, self-attention assigns softmax-normalized relative weights to all patches, making it difficult to evaluate the relevance between patches independently. In visual recognition, images often contain many background or redundant patches, yet self-attention cannot explicitly reject such irrelevant patches, which may introduce unnecessary information into feature aggregation. To address this limitation, Screening has been proposed in the field of language modeling, where the relevance of each token is independently evaluated based on query-key similarity and low-relevance tokens are explicitly excluded through thresholding. In this work, we propose VisionScreen, a new vision model that extends Screening mechanism to visual recognition. VisionScreen treats image patches as tokens arranged on a two-dimensional grid and extends absolute relevance estimation based on query-key similarity to the two-dimensional spatial domain. This allows each patch to selectively aggregate only content-wise and spatially relevant patches without relying on competition among patches. Experiments on image classification benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms conventional ViT. These results suggest that Screening can be effective for visual recognition, offering an alternative to relative feature aggregation based on softmax attention.

视觉变换器(Vision Transformer, ViT)作为一种强大的框架,已被广泛应用于建模图像块之间的全局依赖关系。然而,其核心组件自注意力机制对所有图像块分配了经过softmax归一化的相对权重,这使得独立评估图像块之间的相关性变得困难。在视觉识别中,图像通常包含许多背景或冗余的图像块,而自注意力机制无法明确排除这些无关的图像块,这可能会在特征聚合中引入不必要的信息。为了解决这一局限性,筛选(Screening)在语言建模领域被提出,其中每个标记的相关性是基于查询-键相似性独立评估的,低相关性的标记通过阈值明确排除。在本研究中,我们提出了VisionScreen,这是一种新的视觉模型,将筛选机制扩展到视觉识别中。VisionScreen将图像块视为在二维网格上排列的标记,并将基于查询-键相似性的绝对相关性估计扩展到二维空间域。这使得每个图像块能够选择性地聚合仅与内容和空间相关的图像块,而无需依赖于图像块之间的竞争。在图像分类基准测试中的实验表明,所提出的方法优于传统的ViT。这些结果表明,筛选在视觉识别中是有效的,为基于softmax注意力的相对特征聚合提供了一种替代方案。

Task-Specific Feature Fusion Method for Multi-Task Affective Behavior Analysis

针对多任务情感行为分析的任务特定特征融合方法
Sun, Jiajun, Gao, Zhe
Abstract
The 11th Affective Behavior Analysis in-the-wild (ABAW11) Multi-Task Learning Challenge requires a unified system to predict valence-arousal, categorical expressions, and facial action units from the official s-Aff-Wild2 images. Although these tasks are naturally related through facial behavior, our validation experiments show that they benefit from different visual features, temporal processing strategies, fusion mechanisms, and calibration procedures. In this paper, we study task-adaptive feature fusion for ABAW11 multi-task affective behavior analysis. We first adapt two pretrained visual backbones, DINOv2 ViT-L and DINOv3 ConvNeXt-base, on an external expression-oriented facial image set and then freeze them to extract complementary frame-level features from the official ABAW11 data. On top of these frozen features, we systematically compare frame-level prediction heads, temporal convolutional heads, post-hoc temporal smoothing, LightGBM models, feature concatenation, gated fusion, residual fusion, late logit fusion, threshold calibration, and shared MTL structures. The final system selects task-specific fusion and prediction strategies rather than forcing all tasks to share a single architecture. On the ABAW11 validation set, the selected system achieves an EXPR macro-F1 of 0.4222, an AU macro-F1 of 0.5402, and a mean VA CCC of 0.6717, resulting in an overall validation score of 1.6341. The results suggest that task-adaptive fusion of frozen visual features is a simple and effective strategy for ABAW-style multi-task affective behavior analysis.

Abstract
Driving-world generation has emerged as a core capability for scalable autonomous-driving simulation, yet existing methods remain limited in object-level controllability and long-horizon stability. We present M$^\text{4}$World, a Multi-view and Multimodal generative driving world model that synthesizes future surround-view video streams and synchronized LiDAR scans while supporting interactive object Manipulation and stable Minute-long streaming. Fine-grained object manipulation is realized through a flexible conditioning interface that supports explicit control over both the spatial layout and visual appearance of individual objects. Stable minute-long streaming, on the other hand, is achieved through a multi-stage training framework that enables online causal generation in only four denoising steps while maintaining coherent world dynamics throughout extended rollouts. Building on these components, we introduce an efficient few-clip post-training as well as a suite of visual reference-conditioned generation models, preserving general generation ability while allowing rare-case customization for long-tail controllability. To assess controllability beyond realism, we further introduce an automated VLM-based judging pipeline that evaluates scene-level condition adherence, view-wise object controllability, and cross-view object consistency. Comprehensive experiments show that M$^\text{4}$World consistently delivers high generation quality, precise controllability, and stable minute-long streaming. Together with downstream long-tail augmentation and scene editing, these results demonstrate the potential of M$^\text{4}$World for controllable, scalable driving simulation.

Abstract
Historical Manchu OCR must accommodate various visually distinct writing styles, including regular script, running script, and the semi-cursive chancery hand used in palace memorials, despite limited labeled data. We study a multi-expert system that reuses checkpoints from an iterative fine-tuning process as domain specialists and uses a lightweight page-level image classifier to dispatch pages by visual style. When the checkpoint pool lacks a suitable specialist, we train an additional expert for that domain. On three frozen test sets, the routed system matches the selected specialist for each style at two-decimal precision: 0.30 percent CER on regular script, 1.57 percent on memorials, and 4.83 percent on running script. The router achieves 99.3 percent page-level domain accuracy and matches the domain-label oracle at the same precision. Two of the three selected specialists were not trained specifically for their final domain; only the running-script expert was trained with that domain as its target. We report the evaluation protocol, router design, and per-page predictions to make the comparison reproducible.

From Pixels to States: Rethinking Interactive World Models as Game Engines

从像素到状态:重新思考互动世界模型作为游戏引擎
Li, Zhen, Meng, Zian, Shi, Shuwei, Zhai, Mingliang, Tan, Jiaming, Li, Chuanhao, Zhang, Kaipeng
Abstract
Building interactive worlds that respond coherently to player actions has long been a shared goal of computer graphics, games, and artificial intelligence. Recent video generative models provide a data-driven route toward this goal by predicting future observations conditioned on user actions, and are increasingly regarded as potential next-generation game engines. Realizing a genuinely interactive game world, however, requires interaction outcomes that follow rules over evolving game conditions, consequences that persist over long horizons, and a generation loop that operates in real time. Conventional game engines realize these properties through a recurrent action-state-observation loop, in which player actions update an explicit game state according to predefined rules and observations are rendered from the resulting state. Taking this loop as an organizing lens, this paper examines interactive game world modeling along four dimensions: player action control, game state dynamics, state-observation persistence, and real-time interactive generation. For each dimension, we start from the capabilities required by an interactive game world, group existing approaches into representative families, and discuss the strengths and trade-offs of each family. Complementing this analysis, we present a scalable data engine for Black Myth: Wukong that collects over 90 hours of gameplay with frame-aligned player actions, ground-truth game states, and visual observations, together with structured and semantic annotations, as a resource for state-aware game world modeling. We hope this paper offers a clear picture of where the field stands and fosters progress toward interactive game worlds.

VideoRAE: Taming Video Foundation Models for Generative Modeling via Representation Autoencoders

VideoRAE:通过表示自编码器驯化视频基础模型以进行生成建模
Xie, Zhihao, Wu, Junfeng, Hu, Xinting, Huang, Junchao, Jiang, Li
Abstract
Video generative models commonly rely on latent spaces learned by 3D Variational Autoencoders (3D-VAEs). However, conventional 3D-VAEs are mainly optimized for pixel-level reconstruction, which can limit the semantic and spatio-temporal structure captured by their latents. Meanwhile, Video Foundation Models (VFMs) such as V-JEPA 2 and VideoMAEv2 show strong video understanding capabilities, yet whether their frozen representations can be transformed into compact, reconstruction-capable, and generation-friendly video latents remains largely unexplored. We answer this question with VideoRAE, a representation autoencoder that leverages multi-scale hierarchical features from a frozen video foundation encoder and compresses them with a lightweight 1D self-attention projector. VideoRAE supports both continuous latents for Diffusion Transformers and discrete tokens for autoregressive models via multi-codebook high-dimensional quantization. During decoding, a local-and-global representation alignment objective with the frozen VFM teacher improves semantic preservation and enables training without KL regularization. Experiments show that VideoRAE achieves strong reconstruction in both continuous and discrete regimes. On UCF-101, it obtains state-of-the-art class-to-video gFVDs of 40 and 93 with AR and DiT generators, respectively, while converging approximately 5x faster than competing autoencoder baselines. In a controlled 2B-scale text-to-video study, replacing LTX-VAE with VideoRAE leads to faster convergence under comparable settings. These results validate frozen VFM representations as versatile and generation-friendly video latents. The model and code will be released on https://zhxie0117.github.io/VideoRAE.

视频生成模型通常依赖于由三维变分自编码器(3D-VAEs)学习的潜在空间。然而,传统的3D-VAEs主要针对像素级重建进行优化,这可能限制其潜在空间所捕捉的语义和时空结构。同时,视频基础模型(VFMs)如 V-JEPA 2 和 VideoMAEv2 展现出强大的视频理解能力,但其冻结表示是否能够转化为紧凑的、具备重建能力和生成友好的视频潜在空间仍然未被充分探索。我们通过 VideoRAE 来回答这个问题,VideoRAE 是一种表示自编码器,利用来自冻结视频基础编码器的多尺度层次特征,并通过轻量级的一维自注意力投影器进行压缩。VideoRAE 支持用于扩散变换器的连续潜在空间和用于自回归模型的离散标记,通过多代码本高维量化实现。在解码过程中,结合冻结 VFM 教师的局部与全局表示对齐目标,改善了语义保留,并使得在没有 KL 正则化的情况下进行训练成为可能。实验表明,VideoRAE 在连续和离散模式下均实现了强大的重建能力。在 UCF-101 数据集上,它分别以 AR 和 DiT 生成器获得了 40 和 93 的最先进类到视频 gFVD,同时收敛速度约为竞争性自编码器基线的 5 倍。在一个受控的 2B 规模文本到视频研究中,用 VideoRAE 替换 LTX-VAE 在可比设置下实现了更快的收敛。这些结果验证了冻结 VFM 表示作为多功能且生成友好的视频潜在空间的有效性。模型和代码将发布在 https://zhxie0117.github.io/VideoRAE。

OriginBlame: Record- and Token-Level Data Provenance for AI Training Datasets

OriginBlame:用于人工智能训练数据集的记录级和标记级数据来源
Xue, Haolin
Abstract
When a data contributor requests removal, model trainers face a practical gap: unlearning algorithms require a forget set, yet no tool can locate which training records belong to a given author. Existing provenance systems operate at file or dataset level, forcing catastrophic over-deletion. We present ob, a record- and token-level data provenance system that propagates author identity through data processing pipelines and resolves revocation requests into precise forget sets via deterministic queries. Evaluation on 219,555 Wikipedia pages demonstrates that record-level provenance eliminates dataset-level over-deletion (from 101x to 1.3x), while integration adds 1.3-4.0% throughput overhead (HuggingFace) and 2.1-19.0% (Datatrove) on wiki data. On a 1.7B model, provenance-based forget sets improve unlearning by 42% over random baselines.

SPINE: Bridging the Cyber-Physical Gap with Agentic AI

SPINE:通过自主智能弥合网络物理差距
Ham, Minkyu, Kim, Dongho, Lee, Chan, Wang, Jiayi, Kim, Min Jun, Zhang, Yixi, Ye, Guo, Zhao, Jihai, Park, Soyeon, Liu, Han
Abstract
Foundation models have given robots a sophisticated brain for complex decision-making, yet deploying that intelligence into a physical platform still demands tedious, expert-driven calibration. This deployment gap, the robot's spinal cord, remains a primary bottleneck to scalable Embodied AI. Hence, we propose SPINE (Scalable Physical Integration with ageNtic Expertise): an agentic framework for systematically debugging and deploying bimanual robots with minimal robotics expertise. SPINE's harness comprises two orchestrated multi-agent workflows: a profile builder that creates robot-specific context, and a debugger that cycles through diagnosis, repair, and validation until teleoperation works. Across seven DOBOT X-Trainer debugging scenarios, a robotics novice using SPINE outperformed human operators using Claude Code with the same reference materials, but without SPINE's structured workflow, improving operationalization success from 75% to 100% and reducing mean time-to-teleoperation from 16 min 45 s to 13 min 47 s. On AgileX PiPER, a distinct ROS/CAN bimanual arm, SPINE resolved all 10 implanted bugs, versus 9 out of 10 for the expert baseline, in nearly the same amount of time. Together, these results show that SPINE can transfer across bimanual platforms, reduce dependence on expert calibration, and move embodied AI closer to scalable real-world deployment.

基础模型为机器人提供了复杂决策所需的高级智能,但将这种智能部署到物理平台仍然需要繁琐的专家驱动校准。这一部署差距,即机器人的脊髓,仍然是可扩展具身人工智能的主要瓶颈。因此,我们提出了SPINE(可扩展物理集成与自主专业知识):一个自主框架,用于系统性调试和部署双手机器人,所需的机器人专业知识最少。SPINE的框架包括两个协调的多智能体工作流程:一个创建机器人特定上下文的配置生成器,以及一个在诊断、修复和验证之间循环,直到远程操作成功的调试器。在七个DOBOT X-Trainer调试场景中,使用SPINE的机器人新手在相同参考材料下超越了使用Claude Code的人类操作员,但没有SPINE的结构化工作流程,将操作成功率从75%提高到100%,并将平均远程操作时间从16分钟45秒减少到13分钟47秒。在AgileX PiPER,一个独特的ROS/CAN双手臂上,SPINE解决了所有10个植入的错误,而专家基线仅解决了9个,所用时间几乎相同。这些结果表明,SPINE可以在双手平台之间转移,减少对专家校准的依赖,并使具身人工智能更接近可扩展的现实世界部署。

Interventional Grounding Audits: Black-Box Premise-Dependency Tests for LLM Chain-of-Thought via Predicate Substitution

干预性基础审计:通过谓词替换对大型语言模型链式思维进行黑箱前提依赖性测试
Nakamura, Hironao
Abstract
Large language models produce chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning that appears logically sound yet may not genuinely depend on its stated premises. We introduce interventional grounding audits, a black-box, step-level test of premise dependency: we intervene on a single premise by substituting its target predicate with a fresh symbol, re-run the model, and check whether each reasoning step's normalized conclusion (canonical predicate form) changes. We evaluate on ProntoQA, a synthetic multi-hop deductive reasoning benchmark with gold proof trees, where step-level premise dependencies are known. Applied to 50 ProntoQA problems with GPT-4o, our method achieves F1 = 0.806 on detecting proof-tree dependencies (F1 = 0.885 on predicate-determining dependencies; Recall = 100%), significantly outperforming a self-consistency baseline (F1 = 0.343; 95% bootstrap CIs non-overlapping). We further identify that 66% of correctly-solved problems contain at least one aligned step insensitive to a direct proof-tree dependency under consistent substitution -- all involving entity-introduction premises, a documented blind spot of the consistent-substitution evaluator -- a "right answer, wrong reasoning" signal invisible to passive methods. All audit certificates, raw outputs, and reproduction scripts are available in a public GitHub repository, and we discuss scope limits beyond formal, parsable benchmarks.

Probabilistic Extension of Neuro-Symbolic AGI Robots based on Belnap's Typed Intensional FOL

基于贝尔纳普类型意向性一阶逻辑的神经符号AGI机器人的概率扩展
Majkic, Zoran
Abstract
Neuro-symbolic AI based on $IFOL_B$ is a way to combine neural learning and symbolic reasoning to overcome limitations of purely neural systems (like lack of interpretability and logical structure) with formal logical machinery for self-reference. In this paper we expand the cognitive power of $IFOL_B$ by using the probability computation for the currently unknown sentences, based on Nilsson's probability structure for the $IFOL_B$. We introduce the global symmetry transformation that preserves the current knowledge database and logical deduction, and the local one used for real-time decisions about concrete (sub)problems that involve only a very strict subset of $IFOL_B$ predicates. The computation of probability density function $KI$ in both cases, based on the Shannon's maximum information entropy, is provided by neural networks of this probabilistic neuro-symbolic AGI.

Self-Improvements in Modern Agentic Systems: A Survey

现代自主系统中的自我改进:一项调查

Abstract
Self-improving autonomous agents are moving from research prototypes to deployed systems. The primary goal is controllable evolution, or adaptation, from experience with minimal or even no human input. This survey frames modern self-improving agents as adaptive systems that convert experience into accumulated capability gains. We offer a system-level framework that represents a modern agent as a configuration coupling a foundation model with an operational scaffold of prompts, memory, tools, and control logic. Within this framework, self-improvement is formalized as a self-induced update operator that obtains and commits updates to model parameters or scaffold components. We organize prior work by update target and by the signals that drive change, then review applications and discuss evaluation, before closing with open problems and future directions. For convenience, we track technical updates on https://github.com/selfimproving-agent/awesome-Self-Improving-Agents.

Improving Molecular Property Prediction in Small Language Models Using Graph-based Tools

利用基于图的工具提升小型语言模型中的分子性质预测
Bougiatiotis, Konstantinos, Kelesis, Dimitrios, Paliouras, Georgios
Abstract
Small language models (SLMs) have shown promise for zero-shot molecular property prediction from SMILES strings, yet they often suffer from structural blindness because sequence representations under-specify key graph-topological cues. We propose a modular Context-Augmented Prompting framework that enables agentic tool use at inference time: a trained GNN expert model provides a predictive hint with confidence, and a GNN extracts an instance-specific explanatory subgraph (e.g., a subgraph SMILES and an accompanying explanatory paragraph). We evaluate three commonly used SLMs on MUTAG and Tox21 under five prompting configurations ranging from SMILES-only to using all available tools at hand. Across two datasets, enriching prompts with graph-derived context yields substantial accuracy gains, often exceeding 25% relative improvement and up to 74% on Tox21. We further validate the functional relevance of the extracted motifs via a necessity-based edge-drop intervention. Despite the observed gains, a persistent gap remains to specialized GNN models, highlighting both the value and limits of text-conditioned reasoning for molecular structure.

小型语言模型(SLMs)在从SMILES字符串进行零-shot分子性质预测方面显示出潜力,但它们常常因结构盲目性而受到影响,因为序列表示不足以明确关键的图拓扑线索。我们提出了一种模块化的上下文增强提示框架,该框架在推理时能够实现自主工具使用:一个训练好的图神经网络(GNN)专家模型提供具有信心的预测提示,而GNN提取特定实例的解释性子图(例如,子图SMILES及其伴随的解释段落)。我们在MUTAG和Tox21上评估了三种常用的SLMs,采用从仅使用SMILES到使用所有可用工具的五种提示配置。在两个数据集上,使用图生成的上下文丰富提示显著提高了准确性,通常超过25%的相对提升,在Tox21上甚至达到74%。我们进一步通过基于必要性的边缘删除干预验证了提取的图案的功能相关性。尽管观察到了提升,但与专门的GNN模型之间仍存在持续的差距,突显了文本条件推理在分子结构中的价值和局限性。

Oracle Agent Memory as an Enterprise Memory Substrate for Long-Horizon AI Agents

Oracle代理记忆作为长时程人工智能代理的企业记忆基础
Alake, Richmond, Bernardis, Cesare, Cayet, Paul, Engel, Luca, Hilloulin, Damien, Hong, Sungpack, Hosler, Allen, Kavantzas, Nickolas, Kossyk, Ingo, Le, Son, Patra, Rhicheek, Talamadupula, Kartik, Venzin, Valentin
Abstract
Agent memory is a systems problem for long-horizon agents. Practical deployments require retention of task state across extended conversations, recovery of user-specific facts and preferences across sessions, and accumulation of procedural knowledge from prior outcomes. These requirements extend beyond document retrieval: a memory layer must determine which interactions become durable state, how that state is scoped, how it is retrieved under latency constraints, and how it is revised or removed over time. This report studies Oracle Agent Memory as a database-native memory substrate built on Oracle Database. Three themes organize the discussion: memory as a lifecycle spanning ingestion, extraction, consolidation, retrieval, summarization, and revision or removal; a layered architecture that separates an active memory core from a passive memory-store interface with explicit scope control across users, agents, and threads; and evaluation methodology in which downstream task accuracy is complemented by memory-centric measures such as evidence retrieval, recall, latency, and estimated token use. The report summarizes LongMemEval results, reaching 93.8% accuracy, compares Oracle Agent Memory against flat-history baselines, using about 10.7x fewer tokens, and published or reported external baselines where available, and closes with implementation-oriented appendix material covering setup, thread lifecycle, and search semantics.

代理记忆是长时程代理的一个系统性问题。实际部署需要在延续的对话中保持任务状态,跨会话恢复用户特定的事实和偏好,以及从先前结果中积累程序性知识。这些要求超出了文档检索的范围:一个记忆层必须决定哪些交互成为持久状态,如何界定该状态,如何在延迟约束下进行检索,以及如何随着时间的推移进行修订或删除。本报告研究了Oracle代理记忆作为建立在Oracle数据库上的数据库原生记忆基础。讨论围绕三个主题展开:记忆作为一个生命周期,涵盖摄取、提取、整合、检索、总结以及修订或删除;一个分层架构,将主动记忆核心与被动记忆存储接口分开,并在用户、代理和线程之间进行明确的范围控制;以及评估方法论,其中下游任务的准确性与以记忆为中心的指标(如证据检索、召回率、延迟和估计的令牌使用)相辅相成。报告总结了LongMemEval的结果,达到了93.8%的准确率,并将Oracle代理记忆与平面历史基线进行了比较,使用的令牌数量约为10.7倍更少,并与已发布或报告的外部基线进行了对比,最后附录部分提供了与实施相关的材料,包括设置、线程生命周期和搜索语义。

Learning Safe Agent Behaviour from Human Preferences and Justifications via World Models

从人类偏好和理由中学习安全代理行为通过世界模型
Kazantzidis, Ilias, Norman, Timothy J., Du, Yali, Freeman, Christopher T.
Abstract
We address the problem of safely training an agent policy and deploying a good and safe policy, in settings where the environment dynamics are unknown and no suitable reward function is available. In the context of safety-critical environments, we consider traditional reinforcement learning impractical and resort to the resource of human input. We introduce DROPJ, a human-centred method for both safe training and deployment. We first learn a world model (a learned simulator) from a dataset of prior real-world trajectories. A human then plays the game in this learned simulator to extract several informative simulated trajectories. From these, we sample pairs of simulated trajectory segments and elicit from a human their preference over these segments, as well as a reason (justification) for their choice. We then train a reward model from these justified preferences and use it, together with the world model, to directly deploy the agent using model predictive control. Running real-user experiments, we find that generating informative simulated trajectories from a user significantly reduces the computational cost during training compared to other strategies, and can also improve the performance during deployment. In the context of training within a learned simulator, we show that the use of preferences rather than other types of feedback substantially improves the performance during deployment. We further demonstrate that safety justifications accompanying preferences can significantly enhance safety or prioritise user-prescribed aspects of safety associated with them during deployment.

CayleyR: Solving the TopSpin puzzle via cycle intersection

CayleyR:通过循环交集解决 TopSpin 拼图
Baramykov, Yuri
Abstract
We present cayleyR, an R package for solving permutation puzzles by detecting cycle intersections in Cayley graphs. The core algorithm performs an iterative bidirectional search: from both the initial and target permutation states, random operation sequences generate cycles in the Cayley graph of the symmetric group Sn; their intersection yields a connecting path. When no direct intersection is found, a distance-guided bridge selection narrows the gap, and the process repeats. The package targets the TopSpin(n,k) puzzle, whose state space is a Cayley graph of Sn generated by a cyclic shift and a prefix reversal. We describe the mathematical framework, the algorithm, and its implementation, which combines a C++ hash-indexed state store with optional Vulkan GPU acceleration. The software is publicly available on CRAN.

Abstract
Most AI-for-science systems focus on scaling a single reasoning process through better models, larger context windows, long-horizon agentic execution, or digital co-scientists working with one principal user. However, challenging scientific problems are rarely solved by one reasoner alone. They are solved by teams whose members bring different priors, experimental backgrounds, tacit knowledge, and domain-trained intuitions. The open problem is therefore not only how to scale models, but how to cultivate networked intelligence: scaling the connections between humans and AI systems so that a result or hypothesis produced in one context reaches another person, agent, instrument, or robot that can act on it. We introduce Mycelium, an active shared workspace that automatically connects researchers and AI agents as a multi-user co-scientist. As human users and agents work, the system captures important observations and hypotheses, tracks how they relate to the team's evolving model, and routes them to the person or agent whose next decision they can inform. We evaluate Mycelium in its first empirical test, a biological multi-omics campaign in which routed shared context turned a local analytical finding into a cross-expert mechanistic constraint and ultimately into an experimental design. We also give networked intelligence a computational account as sparse conditional computation over distributed scientific contexts. This account distinguishes when a scaled standalone agent can match the network from when independent expertise and non-mergeable contexts make the network irreducible.

AI-Native Insurance for Agentic AI: Pricing, Underwriting, and End-to-End Automation

面向自主人工智能的AI原生保险:定价、承保与端到端自动化
Zhu, Quanyan
Abstract
Agentic AI introduces new insurance challenges because autonomous AI systems can make decisions, invoke tools, modify external environments, and interact with third-party services. This paper develops an AI-native mathematical framework for underwriting, pricing, and contract design for agentic AI deployments. A deployment is represented by a risk state that captures autonomy level, operational authority, permission exposure, governance maturity, and dependency concentration. The framework maps the risk state to event probabilities, loss severities, governance costs, premiums, deductibles, coverage allocation, and policy covenants, and formulates an optimization problem for insurance contract design under participation, profitability, and incentive compatibility constraints. The paper establishes structural properties of insurability, including characterization of an insurability region, monotone deterioration of feasibility with increasing exposure, and governance certification thresholds. Insurance is further interpreted as both an operational cost and a regulatory mechanism for AI deployment. A healthcare case study illustrates contract optimization, sensitivity analysis, and automated claims processing for agentic AI systems.

Cost-Optimal Foundation Model Deployment Portfolio for Transportation Management

交通管理的成本最优基础模型部署组合
Cheng, Xi, Liu, Ke, Feng, Siyuan, Lin, Jane, Gao, H. Oliver
Abstract
Foundation models, including large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs), are increasingly used for transportation management center (TMC) tasks such as anomaly detection, incident reporting, and traveler information. Deploying multiple such models across TMC functions raises a portfolio question: which model should serve each function, in which deployment mode, and under what shared hardware budget? We formulate this as the Foundation Model Deployment Portfolio (FMDP) problem, a mixed-integer program minimizing total cost of ownership (TCO) subject to per-function quality, latency, and safety constraints over shared GPU capacity. We prove the problem NP-hard by reduction from the 0-1 knapsack problem and propose a polynomial-time greedy heuristic. In an illustrative case study with five TMC functions and 19 candidate (model, mode) pairs, FMDP identifies a mixed portfolio costing $34/mo (97% below the cheapest feasible all-closed-API baseline) by routing four functions to open-source APIs and the one function whose quality floor no open-source model meets to a closed API. Break-even analysis shows that on-premise GPU investment becomes reasonable only above approximately 309 vision queries/hour or if API prices double.

Harness Handbook: Making Evolving Agent Harnesses Readable,Navigable, and Editable

工具手册:使演化代理工具可读、可导航和可编辑
Wang, Ruhan, Shi, Yucheng, Li, Zongxia, Li, Zhongzhi, Yu, Yue, Yang, Junyao, Panaganti, Kishan, Mi, Haitao, Zhou, Dongruo, Leoweiliang
Abstract
The capability of a modern AI agent depends not only on its foundation model but also on its harness, which constructs prompts, manages state, invokes tools, and coordinates execution. As models, APIs, environments, and requirements evolve, the harness must be continually modified. Before such a change can be made, a developer or coding agent must identify all code locations that implement the target behavior. This is difficult because production harnesses are large, tightly coupled, and behaviorally distributed, while modification requests describe what the system should do and repositories are organized by files and modules. Code search, repository indexing, and long-context processing ease inspection, but still leave this behavior-to-code mapping to be recovered by hand. Behavior localization is therefore a central bottleneck in harness evolution. We introduce the Harness Handbook, a behavior-centric representation synthesized automatically from a harness codebase via static analysis and LLM-assisted structuring, linking each behavior to its corresponding source. We also introduce Behavior-Guided Progressive Disclosure (BGPD), which guides agents from high-level behaviors to relevant implementation details and verifies candidate locations against the current source. On diverse modification requests from two open-source harnesses, Handbook-Assisted planning improves behavior localization and edit-plan quality while using fewer planner tokens, with the largest gains on scattered sites, rarely executed paths, and cross-module interactions. Evolving complex agentic systems thus depends not only on generating edits, but also on determining where those edits should be made.

现代人工智能代理的能力不仅依赖于其基础模型,还依赖于其工具,这些工具构建提示、管理状态、调用工具并协调执行。随着模型、API、环境和需求的演变,工具必须不断修改。在进行此类更改之前,开发者或编码代理必须识别所有实现目标行为的代码位置。这是困难的,因为生产工具通常庞大、紧密耦合且行为分散,而修改请求描述了系统应执行的操作,代码库则按文件和模块组织。代码搜索、代码库索引和长上下文处理可以简化检查,但仍需手动恢复这种行为与代码的映射。因此,行为定位是工具演化中的一个核心瓶颈。我们引入了工具手册(Harness Handbook),这是一种以行为为中心的表示,通过静态分析和大型语言模型(LLM)辅助结构化自动从工具代码库中合成,链接每种行为及其对应的源代码。我们还引入了行为引导渐进披露(Behavior-Guided Progressive Disclosure,BGPD),该方法引导代理从高层行为到相关实现细节,并根据当前源代码验证候选位置。在来自两个开源工具的多样化修改请求中,手册辅助规划提高了行为定位和编辑计划的质量,同时使用了更少的规划令牌,尤其在分散位置、少量执行路径和跨模块交互上获得了最大的提升。因此,演化复杂的代理系统不仅依赖于生成编辑,还依赖于确定这些编辑应在哪里进行。

Theory-Level Autoformalization: From Isolated Statements to Unified Formal Knowledge Bases

理论层面的自动形式化:从孤立语句到统一的形式知识库
Min, Marcus J., He, Mike, Li, Zhaoyu, Yi, Zixuan, Malik, Sharad, Gupta, Aarti, Si, Xujie, Bastani, Osbert
Abstract
Autoformalization translates informal natural language into formal, machine-verifiable languages. While most work focuses on individual statements, real formalization efforts are inherently theory-level: they require an entire web of axioms, definitions, and lemmas before target theorems can even be stated. In this position paper, we argue for theory-level autoformalization: formalizing complete theories, including all their inter-dependencies, as structured libraries. We examine the significance of this shift, address alternative views, identify open challenges, and propose three promising paths forward. Our survey of autoformalization is available at https://github.com/marcusm117/Awesome-Autoformalization.

EZSMT Version 3, Matured

EZSMT版本3,成熟
Lierler, Yuliya
Abstract
Constraint Answer Set Programming (CASP) is a hybrid reasoning paradigm that combines Answer Set Programming (ASP) with Constraint Processing and Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), enabling powerful declarative encodings of complex combinatorial search problems. This paper presents the design and implementation of EZSMTV3, an extensible SMT-based CASP framework that advances the translational approach to CASP solving. Building upon the foundation of the EZSMT+ system, EZSMTV3 introduces a more expressive input language, supports optimization via weak constraints, and offers foundations for streamlined integration of new constraint types. Rather than implementing custom search procedures, EZSMTV3 leverages state-of-the-art SMT solvers, such as CVC5, YICES, and Z3 to perform reasoning. The paper provides benchmarking results comparing EZSMTV3 with its CASP peers such as CLINGCON, CLINGO[DL], and CLINGO[LP], while showcasing its ability to handle mixed-domain constraints involving both integers and reals. The system provides a robust platform for future extensions and theoretical exploration within the CASP domain.

Set-shifting Behavioral Test for Harnessed Agents

用于受控智能体的集合转移行为测试
Ye, Ziwei
Abstract
What happens to an LLM agent's tool choice when the reliable tool silently changes within an ongoing session? We borrow set-shifting from cognitive psychology to study how well agents adapt to hidden reliability shifts. Our benchmark mounts tool-skill libraries with redundancies, where many tools solve the same task but differ in hidden reliability. In our evaluation framework, a branched schedule shifts the reliable tool group at hidden boundaries and pairs every shift with a no-shift control. We find that agents, by default, settle on a small recurring routine within a few turns of each boundary, with call shares concentrating on a few discrete values after each reliability shift. We score the set-shifting accuracy for each agent trajectory: the joint probability of routing to the target tool group in every post-shift window. We test open-weight LLMs in an open-source agentic harness and find qualitatively distinct failure modes across the same set of routines. We also find that set framing, how the toolset presents the alternatives as competing or complementary, shifts the routing dynamics.

当可靠工具在进行中的会话中悄然变化时,LLM(大型语言模型)智能体的工具选择会发生什么?我们借鉴认知心理学中的集合转移理论,研究智能体如何适应隐藏的可靠性变化。我们的基准测试构建了具有冗余的工具技能库,其中许多工具可以解决相同的任务,但在隐藏的可靠性上存在差异。在我们的评估框架中,分支调度在隐藏边界处转移可靠工具组,并将每次转移与无转移控制进行配对。我们发现,智能体默认在每个边界的几个回合内会形成一个小的重复例程,调用分布在每次可靠性转移后集中在少数离散值上。我们为每个智能体轨迹评分集合转移的准确性:在每个转移后窗口中路由到目标工具组的联合概率。我们在一个开源的智能体框架中测试开放权重的LLM,并发现相同例程中存在定性不同的失败模式。我们还发现,集合框架,即工具集如何将替代方案呈现为竞争或互补,改变了路由动态。

LAPO: Leave-One-Turn Attribution for Self-Generated Process Rewards in Multi-Turn Search Reasoning

LAPO:基于逐回合归因的自生成过程奖励在多回合搜索推理中的应用
Zhu, Qiang, Wu, Jiajun
Abstract
Reinforcement learning for multi-turn search reasoning typically relies on terminal outcome rewards, which cannot distinguish useful, redundant, and harmful intermediate interactions. We propose LAPO, a self-generated process-supervision method based on backward leave-one-turn attribution. For each search turn, LAPO replaces the turn and its retrieval observation with a fixed [DELETE] placeholder and measures the resulting change in the current policy's mean log-likelihood of the gold answer. This Answer-Likelihood Gain estimates the turn's contribution while preserving all downstream interactions, allowing early evidence to be evaluated in the complete reasoning context. LAPO further applies sign-consistency gating, retaining only normalized process advantages whose directions agree with their raw attribution scores. The method requires no additional reward model, teacher, verifier, or LLM-as-a-Judge. Across seven knowledge-intensive question-answering datasets with local retrieval, LAPO achieves an average exact-match score of 0.326, outperforming the strongest step-reward baseline, IGPO, by 0.053. Ablations show complementary benefits from backward attribution and sign-consistency gating, demonstrating that policy-derived retrospective attribution can provide effective process supervision for multi-turn search agents.

多回合搜索推理中的强化学习通常依赖于终端结果奖励,这无法区分有用、冗余和有害的中间交互。我们提出了LAPO,一种基于向后逐回合归因的自生成过程监督方法。对于每个搜索回合,LAPO用固定的[DELETE]占位符替换该回合及其检索观察,并测量当前策略的黄金答案的平均对数似然的变化。这种答案似然增益估计了该回合的贡献,同时保留所有下游交互,允许在完整的推理上下文中评估早期证据。LAPO进一步应用符号一致性门控,仅保留方向与其原始归因分数一致的标准化过程优势。该方法不需要额外的奖励模型、教师、验证者或LLM作为裁判。在七个知识密集型问答数据集上,LAPO在局部检索中实现了平均精确匹配分数0.326,超越了最强的步骤奖励基线IGPO,提升了0.053。消融实验显示,向后归因和符号一致性门控具有互补效益,证明了策略导出的回顾性归因可以为多回合搜索代理提供有效的过程监督。

How Far Can Root Cause Analysis Go on Real-World Telemetry Data?

根本原因分析在真实世界遥测数据中的应用潜力有多大?
Gopal, Athira, Krishnan, Ashwanth
Abstract
Identifying root causes in production microservice failures requires reasoning over large-scale, multimodal telemetry spanning metrics, logs, and traces, a problem that has proved resistant to both classical and LLM-based approaches. The OpenRCA dataset exemplifies these challenges: it is large-scale, multimodal, and lacks detailed domain knowledge, and yields consistently low accuracy across all existing methods. We show that classical causal discovery methods and existing LLM-based multi-agent systems fail to reliably identify root causes on this benchmark, and present a Structured Multi-Agent RCA pipeline that substantially outperforms existing LLM-based and classical baselines, supporting both domain-knowledge and knowledge-free operating modes. To diagnose where failures originate, we introduce a reverse reasoning agent that, given the correct answer, identifies which signals in the extracted anomalies support it and determines whether Stage~1 had access to those signals, classifying each failure as Reasoning Gap (evidence present but unused) or Data Ambiguity (evidence genuinely absent). This analysis reveals that the required evidence is present in the vast majority of failures: the bottleneck is not data access but the agent's ability to reason over it correctly. We further introduce an automated rule mining pipeline that systematically extracts discrimination rules from reverse reasoning reports, reducing reliance on manual knowledge curation. Across all configurations, model reasoning capability and domain knowledge are the primary constraints: stronger models embed more domain expertise, and explicit knowledge injection partially compensates for this gap. Reasoning performance remains practically bounded even when evidence extraction is perfect: scaffold engineering and better data pipelines alone cannot close this gap; progress requires improvements at the model level.

Multi-Agent Collaborative Reasoning with Tool-Augmented Evidence for Urban Region Profiling

基于工具增强证据的多智能体协作推理用于城市区域分析
Hao, Xixuan, Jiang, Yutian, Liu, Jiabo, Yang, Yihang, Jin, Guangyin, Gao, Song, Liang, Yuxuan
Abstract
Urban region profiling constitutes a core problem in urban computing, supporting applications such as population estimation, economic assessment, and environmental monitoring. Existing methods typically formulate this task as multimodal representation learning, fusing heterogeneous urban data, e.g., satellite imagery, points of interest, textual descriptions, and 3D building information, into latent embeddings for prediction. However, these approaches are largely correlation-driven, assume cross-modal consistency, and rely on static pipelines, which limit their robustness in heterogeneous or unseen urban regions. We propose UrbanAgent, an agentic framework that reframes urban region profiling as a reasoning-driven inference problem. UrbanAgent instantiates an independent agent for each data modality and performs structured multi-agent collaborative reasoning to explicitly address cross-modal inconsistencies rather than absorbing them into a single representation. In addition, UrbanAgent extends indicator prediction as a closed-loop process of active evidence acquisition and iterative reasoning, enabling agents to verify uncertain inferences through tool-augmented retrieval of external knowledge optimized via reinforcement learning. Extensive experiments on global urban datasets for Carbon emissions, GDP, and Population estimation show that UrbanAgent consistently outperforms existing baselines, achieving an average improvement of 8.1% in R2, and exhibiting strong generalization performance in unseen-city settings.

AI advice suppresses people's willingness to say "I don't know", even when the advice is wrong and accuracy is incentivized

人工智能建议抑制人们说“我不知道”的意愿,即使建议是错误的且准确性受到激励
Marcoccia, Chiara, Quattrociocchi, Walter, Capraro, Valerio
Abstract
Knowing when to say "I don't know" is fundamental to human judgment, yet AI assistants offer a fluent answer to almost any question. In five experiments (N = 3,132; four preregistered, one direct replication), participants answered difficult questions and could always decline to respond. We engineered the questions so that AI advice was wrong, separating AI use from its accuracy. Merely having access to AI nearly eliminated participants' willingness to suspend judgment, and this held whether the advice was actively requested or simply displayed. Consequently, participants answered more questions but were correct about a third as often as when AI was unavailable-yet their confidence nearly doubled. Incentivizing accuracy and penalizing inaccuracy led participants to seek and follow AI advice less, answer more accurately, and suspend judgment more often, though still far less than when AI was unavailable. As AI suggestions grow ubiquitous and unsolicited, they may not simply affect answer accuracy; they may even alter the metacognitive threshold at which people decide whether they know enough to answer.

SAFETY SENTRY: Context-Aware Human Intervention via EXECUTE-ASK-REFUSE Routing

安全哨兵:通过EXECUTE-ASK-REFUSE路由实现上下文感知的人类干预
Chen, Tianyu, Hu, Chujia, Wang, Wenjie
Abstract
LLM agents act on real-world environments through tool calls, and a single misjudged action can cause irreversible harm. The standard safeguard is a guard model that labels each proposed action as safe or unsafe, but this binary view conflates two distinct decisions: whether the action is harmful in itself, and whether it is appropriate given the user's context. It also operates at the granularity of action categories rather than individual instances, producing routine interruptions that erode autonomy and train users to wave through the most consequential alerts. We reframe the problem as a per-instance three-way routing decision over {EXECUTE, ASK, REFUSE} and instantiate it with Safety Sentry, a lightweight guard model whose inference reduces to a single decoding call. A single decoding-time threshold lets one fixed checkpoint be re-positioned across deployments of differing risk tolerance without retraining. Safety Sentry outperforms a broad set of open-weight and frontier closed-source baselines on overall accuracy and safety-related recall, while controlling both directional error rates simultaneously.

Automatic Ordinary Differential Equations Discovery For Biological Systems Using Large Language Model Powered Agentic System

基于大型语言模型驱动的自动常微分方程发现生物系统
Krongauz, David, Zulti, Arad, Segal, Eran, Lazebnik, Teddy
Abstract
Automatic scientific discovery has long been a goal of computational scholars - a machine that can discover nature's secrets on its own, moving computational systems beyond data-fitting tools toward the generation and refinement of mechanistic models of the universe. Recent advances in symbolic regression (SR) and large-language-model (LLM)-based agents suggest that such systems can recover equations from data, incorporate domain priors, and automate parts of the research workflow. However, most existing approaches either focus on narrow equation-discovery benchmarks or broad end-to-end automation pipelines, while biological systems remain comparatively underexplored. Here, we introduce the MEDA system, an LLM- and SR-powered agentic framework for discovering ordinary-differential-equation (ODE) models of biological and biologically inspired dynamical systems. MEDA retrieves background knowledge, defines admissible variables, generates mechanistic constraints, proposes candidate ODEs, and fits and evaluates them. We evaluate it across canonical model retrieval, reasoning-based extrapolation to unseen variants, and open-ended discovery, with and without experimental data. Across these settings, MEDA recovered the correct state variables, achieved strong structural recovery in retrieval and extrapolation tasks, and produced biologically plausible discovery-oriented models. Ablation and robustness analyses show that knowledge-guided formalization and mechanistic constraints are load-bearing components, whereas numerical fitting alone can preserve trajectory-compatible but biologically incorrect equations.

STOCKTAKE: Measuring the Gap Between Perception and Action in LLM Agents with a Fair Oracle

STOCKTAKE:通过公平的Oracle测量LLM代理在感知与行动之间的差距
Deb, Sagar, Krishnan, Ashwanth
Abstract
LLM agents are increasingly evaluated on multi-week decision tasks in which the state that drives cost is never directly observed. On such tasks the final cost cannot say why an agent failed: it may have misread the world, or read it correctly and still failed to act (the knowing-doing gap). Existing evaluations cannot separate these two failures; their reference policies either read privileged information the agent never sees, or are missing altogether. We introduce STOCKTAKE, a 26-week supply-chain replenishment benchmark built as a factored partially observable Markov decision process with six hidden factor processes, designed so that a fair reference policy is computable: an exact Bayes filter per factor drives a rollout policy on the identical observation stream the agent receives. Scoring each run between a symptom-blind base-stock floor (0) and this oracle (1) yields a skill score, and grading each week's written rationale yields a stated-belief detection lag and a knowing-doing rate, so state estimation and control are measured separately. On fifty seeds with curated stress profiles, Claude Sonnet 5, GPT-5.4, DeepSeek-V4-Pro, and Grok 4.5 detect 84-88% of hidden failures, typically within a week of onset, yet span skill scores from 0.62 to -0.23: two of the four end below the symptom-blind floor while naming factors slightly faster than the two that beat it. The failure has two faces. Where stress persists, 34-43% of correctly diagnosed stress weeks still end in stockout for every model, a rate that partly reflects the severity of the weeks models notice. That rate also runs opposite to skill: the two models under the floor stock out least on diagnosed weeks, so under-response is only one face of the gap, and their traces point to the other, responses whose cost exceeds what they protect. STOCKTAKE measures both directions of that failure.

UESF-Bench: Benchmarking and Probing for Unified Embodied Seeking and Following

UESF-Bench:统一的具身寻求与跟随的基准测试与探测
Yu, Kun, Yang, Jianhua, Chen, Yixiang, Wang, Changwei, Yu, Hongyuan, Huang, Yan, Huo, Fushuo, Jing, Ya, Chen, Zhumin, He, Keji
Abstract
Language-guided human following is an important capability for embodied agents, but existing benchmarks typically assume that the target person is visible at the start of an episode. This setting simplifies the problem and overlooks a more realistic requirement: an agent often needs to first find a language-described target and then persistently follow that target in a dynamic environment. While recent work has started to study human search, existing settings are typically evaluated in task-specific scenarios and often rely on stronger prior knowledge of the environment. Moreover, they usually treat searching and following as separate tasks and still lack a unified benchmark for systematic evaluation. To address these limitations, we introduce the Unified Embodied Seeking and Following Benchmark (UESF-Bench), a large-scale and diverse benchmark for embodied human seeking and following. The benchmark requires agents to handle semantic-guided exploration, reliable behavior switching and recovery, and delayed identity grounding. To this end, we propose SeekFollow-VLA, a vision-language-action framework with a task-driven routing mechanism for latent phase inference and transition modeling between seeking and following. Experimental results show that SeekFollow-VLA achieves clear improvements over both single-head and dual-head baselines across single-person and multi-person environments, establishing a baseline for unified embodied seek-and-follow.

Explaining Reinforcement Learning Agents via Inductive Logic Programming

通过归纳逻辑编程解释强化学习代理
Veronese, Celeste, Zorzi, Edoardo, Meli, Daniele, Farinelli, Alessandro
Abstract
Explainable Reinforcement Learning (XRL) seeks to make Reinforcement Learning (RL) policies more transparent and interpretable, a key requirement in safety-critical and human-centric scenarios. However, it is mostly based on user studies, thus targeting the needs of a specific audience and lacking shared evaluation metrics. On the other hand, logic-based approaches within eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) provide compact, human-readable abstractions of decision-making. However, the systematic quantification of the explainability degree of logical representations remains an open problem. This work aims to advance the state of the art in XRL by introducing objective and planning-oriented metrics for policy explainability in RL settings. At the same time, it contributes to the field of logic for XAI by providing a principled way to quantify the explainability of logical rules, moving beyond common-sense assessments and simple propositional fragments. We employ Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) to extract symbolic representations of RL policies and define a novel set of explainability metrics, including activation rate, feature coverage, syntactic distance and semantic distance. These metrics quantify alignment between symbolic rules and agent behavior, the role of features in decision-making, and the evolution of policies during training and across agents in single and multi-agent RL. Experiments across different RL domains show that the proposed metrics highlight action-specific learning dynamics beyond global return, provide fine-grained insights into domain features beyond classical approaches for global feature importance estimation, and uncover coordination, specialization, and adaptation patterns in MARL. Moreover, they provide crucial insights for the transfer and generalization of action-specific policies.

When Bots Join the Team: Bot Adoption and the Institutional Fabric of Open-Source Software Projects

当机器人加入团队:机器人采纳与开源软件项目的制度结构
Shi, Yongren, Gong, Wenyi
Abstract
AI agents are joining human teams, raising a basic question: when an automated agent becomes a regular participant, does group organization strengthen or weaken? We study this question in open-source software, where bots open pull requests, review code, and merge changes alongside people, leaving a public record of every interaction. Treating bots as participants rather than tools, we examine 2,991 GitHub projects for two years before and after each adopted its first bot. We measure three capabilities that institutional theory links to durable coordination - repeated engagement, social memory, and role differentiation - and two outcomes: conflict cascades and output distinctiveness. Bot adoption is followed by more repeated collaboration, greater recognition of specific bots in discussion, fewer conflict cascades, and more distinctive outputs. These changes cluster around adoption rather than accumulating gradually. Because we lack an untreated comparison group, we interpret the results as precisely timed associations, not causal effects. Two patterns are difficult for alternative explanations to account for: capabilities predict outcomes according to their function - coordination versus differentiation - rather than whether humans or bots provide them, and human-side capabilities account for the bot-conflict association but not the bot-distinctiveness association. The findings are consistent with a specific interpretation: predictable, rule-based agents can become part of a community's social infrastructure. The bot is the occasion; social organization is the mechanism.

人工智能代理正在加入人类团队,这引发了一个基本问题:当一个自动化代理成为常规参与者时,团队组织是增强还是削弱?我们在开源软件中研究这个问题,在这里,机器人打开拉取请求、审查代码并与人类一起合并更改,留下每次互动的公开记录。我们将机器人视为参与者而非工具,考察了2991个GitHub项目在采纳首个机器人之前和之后的两年。我们测量了与持久协调相关的三种能力——重复参与、社会记忆和角色区分——以及两个结果:冲突级联和输出独特性。机器人采纳后,重复合作增多,对特定机器人的讨论认可度提高,冲突级联减少,输出更具独特性。这些变化集中在采纳时刻,而非逐渐累积。由于缺乏未处理的对照组,我们将结果解读为精确时机的关联,而非因果效应。有两种模式难以用替代解释来说明:能力根据其功能(协调与区分)预测结果,而不是由人类或机器人提供,以及人类方面的能力解释了机器人与冲突之间的关联,但并未解释机器人与独特性之间的关联。这些发现与一种特定解释一致:可预测的、基于规则的代理可以成为社区社会基础设施的一部分。机器人是契机;社会组织是机制。

AgentCompass: A Unified Evaluation Infrastructure for Agent Capabilities

AgentCompass:一个统一的智能体能力评估基础设施
Ding, Zichen, Ge, Jiaye, Jiang, Shufan, Chen, Kai, Li, Mo, Li, Qingqiu, Li, Zehao, Li, Zonglin, Liang, Tiaohao, Liu, Shudong, Ma, Zerun, Shang, Zixing, Tian, Wenhui, Wang, Zun, Wu, Liwei, Wu, Zhenyu, Xu, Jun, Yang, Bowen, Yuan, Dingbo, Zhang, Qi, Zhang, Songyang, Zhou, Peiheng, Zhu, Dongsheng
Abstract
As Large Language Models (LLMs) evolve into autonomous agents, the need for unified evaluation infrastructure becomes critical. However, current evaluation pipelines remain highly fragmented and tightly coupled, hindering reproducibility and causing redundant engineering. To address this, we introduce AgentCompass, an open-source, lightweight, and extensible infrastructure for evaluating LLM-based agents. AgentCompass organizes the evaluation process around three independent components, namely Benchmark, Harness, and Environment, thereby enabling flexible configurations without requiring the reimplementation of complex execution logic. Furthermore, it features a fault-tolerant asynchronous runtime and comprehensive trajectory analysis tools to transparently diagnose nuanced failure modes like reward-hacking. Natively supporting over 20 benchmarks across five capability dimensions, AgentCompass provides the community with a scalable and reproducible infrastructure for advancing agent research.

CAVA: Canonical Action Verification and Attestation for Runtime Governance of Agentic AI Systems

CAVA:用于代理人工智能系统运行时治理的规范行动验证与证明
Wang, Zexun
Abstract
Agentic AI systems increasingly act through heterogeneous runtimes: local coding hooks, SDK tools, browser automation, managed-agent traces, API gateways, and workflow engines. A single operational act such as publishing code, changing identity state, moving money, or exporting data may therefore be represented by many incompatible runtime records. This makes a basic governance question difficult to answer: what action was actually approved, what evidence binds the approval to execution, and can an independent verifier reproduce the same action identity later? This paper presents Canonical Action Verification and Attestation (CAVA), a runtime-semantics layer for converting heterogeneous agent activity into canonical runtime action objects. CAVA is positioned below Proof-Carrying Agent Actions (PCAA): PCAA defines the deployer-owned route-review-prove governance process, while CAVA defines the stable action object that process governs. The paper formalizes canonical action identity, semantic pattern detection, approval binding, receipt integrity, runtime-portable projection, and optional attestation substrates. We study a reference implementation through a 96-seed, 384-variant benchmark covering semantic equivalence, semantic separation, wrapper bypass, false-positive control, approval binding, receipt reproducibility, attestation tamper detection, runtime portability, semantic pattern detection, policy degradation, and Azure deployment drills. The contribution is a systems formulation of action-level canonicalization and policy-addressable semantic patterns as a necessary substrate for deployer-side AI governance.

Experience Memory Graph: One-Shot Error Correction for Agents

经验记忆图:针对智能体的一次性错误修正
Wang, Wenjun, Fang, Yuchen, Liu, Fengrui, Liang, Zibo, Zheng, Kai
Abstract
Large Language Model (LLM) agents have shown remarkable capabilities in autonomous decision-making by generating sequential trajectories of states, actions, and observations. However, in complex, long-horizon tasks, these agents frequently suffer from compounding errors and struggle to recover from failures. Existing self-correction mechanisms rely on prompt-based reflection, which is inherently brittle, incurs heavy time and API costs due to iterative trial-and-error loops, and produces task-specific memory that may be hard to generalize to new scenarios. To address this, we propose Experience Memory Graph (EMG), a framework that reformulates agent failure recovery as a graph matching problem. At training time, we convert both failed exploration trajectories and successful expert trajectories into directed action decision graphs. By matching these graphs, we extract common subgraphs (successful workflows) and graph edit paths that explicitly indicate how to correct failures (e.g., which actions to add, delete, or relabel under a given observation), and store them in a memory graph with intra-task nodes and cross-task edges. At test time, EMG retrieves relevant insights and guides the agent in a single, loop-free execution. Experiments on ALFWorld and ScienceWorld show that EMG consistently outperforms state-of-the-art reflection baselines in success rate and average reward, while requiring no test-time trial-and-error.

大型语言模型(LLM)智能体在生成状态、动作和观察的序列轨迹方面展现了卓越的自主决策能力。然而,在复杂的长时间任务中,这些智能体常常遭遇累积错误,并难以从失败中恢复。现有的自我修正机制依赖于基于提示的反思,这种方法本质上脆弱,因迭代的试错循环而产生高昂的时间和API成本,并且生成的任务特定记忆可能难以推广到新场景。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了经验记忆图(Experience Memory Graph, EMG),一个将智能体失败恢复重新表述为图匹配问题的框架。在训练阶段,我们将失败的探索轨迹和成功的专家轨迹转换为有向动作决策图。通过匹配这些图,我们提取出共同的子图(成功工作流)和图编辑路径,明确指示如何修正失败(例如,在给定观察下需要添加、删除或重新标记哪些动作),并将其存储在一个具有任务内节点和任务间边的记忆图中。在测试阶段,EMG检索相关见解并指导智能体进行一次性、无循环的执行。在ALFWorld和ScienceWorld上的实验表明,EMG在成功率和平均奖励方面始终优于最先进的反思基准,同时在测试阶段无需试错。

AIMO Interpretability Challenge

AIMO 可解释性挑战

Abstract
We propose the AIMO Interpretability Challenge, a competition on distinguishing robust from spurious reasoning in frontier mathematical language models based on the models' internal mechanisms. The challenge is motivated by a central limitation of standard reasoning benchmarks: strong final-answer accuracy does not reveal whether a model relies on stable reasoning mechanisms or exploits brittle reasoning shortcuts. Building on AI Mathematical Olympiad (AIMO) problems and submissions, together with resources from the Fields Model Initiative, the competition will provide (1) newly-published olympiad-level math reasoning problems and their symbolic representations, allowing generation of novel functional variants, (2) access to frontier reasoning models, and (3) assessments of models' adversarial robustness on these problems. Participants will use these resources, along with our computing infrastructure support, to develop methods for identifying which models solve problems robustly. Our competition will also create a new, open robustness benchmark and baseline systems, aiming to provide a lasting foundation for standard benchmarking in mathematical reasoning and interpretability. Scientifically, the competition connects interpretability and generalization research around a central question in AI research: can we determine if, and to what extent, the decision-making of frontier AI models is generalizable and thus, reliable?

A Self-Evolving Agent for Longitudinal Personal Health Management

自我演化的长期个人健康管理代理

Abstract
Personal health management unfolds over repeated encounters, yet most health AI systems treat each request in isolation. We developed HealthClaw, an open-source agent architecture that updates support as a person's routines, preferences, measurements and risks change. It separates shared safety rules and medical knowledge from private longitudinal memory containing profile facts, reusable procedures and episodic traces. After each episode, induction determines what should update the profile, revise a procedure, remain episodic or be excluded. We evaluated HealthClaw with a synthetic year-long benchmark and nine 200-case biomedical tasks. Across 900 longitudinal support probes, answer accuracy increased from 0.2% with current-query prompting to 45.7% with HealthClaw, while prompt-side context exposure was 71.7% lower than with full-history prompting. In 100 privacy probes, HealthClaw produced higher privacy-aware answer quality and fewer unsafe disclosures than both baselines. Across the biomedical tasks, the mean absolute gain in the task-specific primary metric was 27.0 percentage points, and seven gains remained significant after false-discovery-rate correction. These offline benchmarks support governed, self-evolving memory for longitudinal personal health agents, although clinical effectiveness requires prospective evaluation. HealthClaw is publicly available at https://github.com/HC-Guo/HealthClaw.

Do Agent Optimizers Compound? A Continual-Learning Evaluation on Terminal-Bench 2.0

代理优化器是否具有复合效应?在 Terminal-Bench 2.0 上的持续学习评估
Wang, Wenxiao, Kattakinda, Priyatham, Feizi, Soheil
Abstract
Most reported gains from agent-optimization methods are one-shot: an agent is optimized against a fixed benchmark and the resulting improvement is reported as if it were a stable property of the method. This does not test the setting that matters for deployed agents, where optimization is applied recursively as new failures and new tasks appear over time. The central question this raises is whether optimizer-driven gains compound: after an agent has been optimized once, can it be optimized again on newly arrived tasks without eroding the gains the first round produced? We study this question with a two-phase continual-learning evaluation built from hard tasks in Terminal-Bench 2.0, comparing three approaches to agent-harness optimization (GEPA, Meta Harness, and RELAI's Verifiable Continual Learning, RELAI-VCL) under identical optimization budgets. All three methods improve over the baseline agent in the conventional, static, single-phase setting. However, once new tasks are introduced, the methods diverge sharply: GEPA's optimized agent transfers below the unoptimized baseline, Meta Harness transfers well but fails to improve further once given a second optimization budget, and RELAI-VCL is the only method that both transfers positively to unseen tasks and continues improving after those tasks are folded into the optimization objective, reaching the highest pass rate at every evaluated stage and the highest lifelong average pass rate overall (76.4% vs. 66.0% for GEPA, 64.6% for Meta Harness, and 58.7% for the baseline). Our key observation was that optimization gains compounded only when regression control was built into the optimization loop, providing an inductive bias against shortcut solutions that fail to generalize.

大多数报告的代理优化方法的收益是一次性的:代理在固定基准上进行优化,所获得的改进被视为该方法的稳定特性。这并没有测试对于实际部署的代理而言重要的设置,即随着时间的推移,新的失败和新任务出现时,优化是递归应用的。由此产生的核心问题是,优化器驱动的收益是否会复合:在代理经过一次优化后,是否可以在新出现的任务上再次优化,而不损害第一次优化所产生的收益?我们通过在 Terminal-Bench 2.0 中构建的基于困难任务的两阶段持续学习评估来研究这个问题,比较三种代理优化方法(GEPA、Meta Harness 和 RELAI 的可验证持续学习 RELAI-VCL)在相同优化预算下的表现。所有三种方法在常规的静态单阶段设置中都优于基线代理。然而,一旦引入新任务,这些方法的表现差异显著:GEPA 优化后的代理在未优化的基线之下转移,Meta Harness 表现良好但在获得第二个优化预算后未能进一步改善,而 RELAI-VCL 是唯一一种在未见任务上正向转移并在这些任务被纳入优化目标后继续改善的方法,在每个评估阶段达到了最高的通过率,并且整体上达到了最高的终身平均通过率(76.4% 对比 GEPA 的 66.0%、Meta Harness 的 64.6% 和基线的 58.7%)。我们的关键观察是,只有当回归控制被纳入优化循环时,优化收益才会复合,从而对无法泛化的捷径解决方案提供了归纳偏见。

AI-accelerated End-to-End Framework for Rapid Professional Upskilling

AI加速的端到端框架用于快速职业技能提升

Abstract
By 2030, 59 of every 100 workers will need reskilling or upskilling, yet the average time to close an enterprise skills gap grew from roughly 3 days in 2014 to 36 days in 2018. Most current frameworks accelerate single stages of upskilling programs and generally lack industry validation. We present an end-to-end framework that applies AI acceleration across five stages of knowledge acquisition, content development, content review and verification, teaching, and assessment development; with a strong focus on both production and learning efficiency. Three strong external signals validates the framework: the US National Association of State Boards of Accountancy reviewed and approved an upskilling program built on the framework for continuing-professional-education credits; 3 learners followed the program and passed the NVIDIA Certified Professional in Agentic AI exam in a significantly short amount of time, with 14 more in progress; the program's knowledge base supports complex downstream analysis such as the production of a robust 1,267 risk item dataset for managing multi-agent AI system risks.

Earthquaker-AI: A Retrieval-Augmented Generation Framework with Rubric-Based Assessment for Primary School Earthquake Education

Earthquaker-AI:一种基于评估标准的检索增强生成框架用于小学地震教育
Kokkinou, Xanthi, Mizeli, Chaido, Koulaxidou, Nafsika, Delianidi, Marina, Diamantaras, Konstantinos
Abstract
This paper presents Earthquaker-AI, a hybrid educational framework building upon a previously implemented educational robotics project by integrating a conversational AI assistant based on Retrieval-Augmented Generation. It aims to enhance earthquake preparedness and conscious action among primary-school students. The system extends the award-winning STEM project Earthquaker moving from mechanical simulation with Lego WeDo2 to cognitive and metacognitive processing. The robotics component uses Lego WeDo2 automation to simulate seismic response, letting students interact with sensors and actuators as tangible representations of protective actions. The assistant operates as a guided learning mechanism aligning student responses with safety guidelines, while providing rubric-based verbal feedback that supports self-regulated learning and calmness under emergency conditions. Earthquaker-AI follows a progressive learning trajectory aligned with cognitive development. In early grades, the focus is on basic recognition of safety actions through multiple-choice questions, assessed via a two-dimensional rubric. In middle grades, students identify correct action sequences through multiple-choice questions, evaluated via a three-axis rubric. In upper grades, the approach shifts to verbal production, requiring short written responses assessed via a four-dimensional rubric that includes clarity of expression. The dialogic module uses RAG to match student queries semantically with official guidelines, generating safe, accurate responses. Experimental evaluation shows high groundedness and accuracy, with a low hallucination rate. Overall, Earthquaker-AI combines hands-on engagement, information processing, and reflective practice. Combining robotics, rubrics, and AI promotes technological literacy, self-regulation, and responsible use of digital systems, contributing to early crisis-management skills.

Deep Interaction: An Efficient Human-AI Interaction Method for Large Reasoning Models

深度互动:一种高效的人机交互方法用于大型推理模型
Zhou, Hefeng, Zhang, Jinxuan, Lou, Jiong, Liu, Yuxin, Lu, Chaochao, Qu, Jingjing, Li, Jie
Abstract
The emergence of Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has significantly enhanced the ability of large language models (LLMs) to tackle complex, multi-step tasks. However, when errors occur, current interaction approaches typically involve re-generating another response that may make mistakes again, or users laboriously flag the faulty step in follow-up turns that may get responses followed by similar errors recurring. To address this issue, we propose an efficient human intervention mechanism for precisely correcting reasoning errors in LLMs, termed Deep Interaction. Our approach enables direct editing of the original response, allowing erroneous parts to be corrected while preserving accurate reasoning steps. We refine the edited CoT into a distilled prompt, which then steers the LLM along the corrected reasoning path. Experimental results show that our method achieves over a 25% improvement in correction success rate and reduces token usage by approximately 40% on STEM tasks reasoning compared to baseline approaches.

Abstract
Cloud services experience frequent incidents that require rapid diagnosis and resolution. Troubleshooting guides help engineers respond consistently, but creating them manually is labor-intensive, resulting in incomplete coverage and outdated documentation. We present FixItFlow, an automated system that generates troubleshooting guides from historical incident data using large language models. The system extracts diagnostic patterns from engineer actions, synthesizes structured guides with verified commands, and enforces strict validation to prevent fabricated content. In our evaluation with 26 engineers, generated guides achieved 61.5\% positive ratings for clarity and demonstrated a 2.3x reduction in mitigation time for incidents with associated guides. These results indicate that automated guide generation can improve incident response while reducing documentation burden on engineering teams.

Ask Before You Diagnose: Safe-Psych, a Sequential Evaluation Benchmark for LLMs in Psychiatry

在诊断之前询问:Safe-Psych,一个用于评估精神病学中大型语言模型的顺序评估基准

Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for decision support in healthcare, but clinical evidence is often incomplete or evolving. When the available information is insufficient to support a reliable answer, models should request clarification or abstain rather than provide unsupported responses. Existing medical benchmarks, however, typically assume that complete information is available upfront. We introduce Safe-Psych, a sequential benchmark for evaluating how LLMs handle evolving diagnostic uncertainty in clinical psychiatry. Safe-Psych contains over 1,000 real-world psychiatric clinical notes segmented to simulate incremental evidence disclosure, with psychiatrist-derived action labels at each stage: DIAGNOSE, CLARIFY, or ABSTAIN. We evaluate multiple state-of-the-art LLMs in full-information and sequential settings. Our findings show that capability does not ensure calibration: even strong models struggle under incomplete clinical information, with under-abstention exceeding 60% for most models and safety-aware prompting reducing premature commitment only by shifting errors toward excessive abstention. In sequential evaluation, models frequently diagnose before sufficient evidence is available and rarely seek clarification unless explicitly prompted; these premature diagnoses are less accurate than on-time diagnoses. Overall, Safe-Psych reveals a limitation across the evaluated models: recognizing when clinical evidence is incomplete and additional information is needed. We release Safe-Psych to support research on improving LLM safety in healthcare.

大型语言模型(LLMs)在医疗保健中的决策支持中越来越多地被使用,但临床证据往往是不完整或不断变化的。当可用信息不足以支持可靠答案时,模型应该请求澄清或选择不作答,而不是提供没有支持的回应。然而,现有的医学基准通常假设在开始时就有完整的信息。我们引入了Safe-Psych,这是一个用于评估LLMs如何处理临床精神病学中不断变化的诊断不确定性的顺序基准。Safe-Psych包含超过1000个真实世界的精神病临床记录,这些记录被分段以模拟逐步证据披露,并在每个阶段附有精神科医生制定的行动标签:诊断(DIAGNOSE)、澄清(CLARIFY)或放弃(ABSTAIN)。我们在完整信息和顺序设置中评估了多种最先进的LLMs。我们的研究结果表明,能力并不确保校准:即使是强大的模型在不完整的临床信息下也会遇到困难,大多数模型的放弃不足超过60%,而安全意识提示仅通过将错误转向过度放弃来减少过早承诺。在顺序评估中,模型在证据不足时经常进行诊断,且除非明确提示,否则很少寻求澄清;这些过早的诊断比及时的诊断准确性更低。总体而言,Safe-Psych揭示了被评估模型的一个局限性:识别临床证据何时不完整以及何时需要额外信息。我们发布Safe-Psych以支持改善医疗保健中LLM安全性的研究。

The Perplexity Trap: When Patent Law Makes Human Writing Look Like AI

困惑陷阱:当专利法使人类写作看起来像人工智能
Banerjee, Anubhab
Abstract
The European Patent Office (EPO) reported record filings in 2025, and the 2026 EPO Guidelines hold applicants strictly responsible for LLM-assisted content under Article 83 and Rule 42, creating pressure to triage suspected AI-generated patent text. Two constraints make this hard. First, realistic prosecution settings often have only consumer GPUs with about 8 GB VRAM, not datacenter-class scoring stacks. Second, Article 84 of the European Patent Convention requires claims to be clear and concise, pushing human drafting onto the same low-perplexity, low-burstiness manifold that LLMs occupy. We benchmark three open-source zero-shot detectors on 500 granted EPO H04 telecom patents versus 500 LLM-generated counterparts using five prompting strategies, all under the consumer hardware envelope. At claim level, all detectors exceed 60 percent false-positive rate: Binoculars 78.3 percent, Fast-DetectGPT 61.3 percent, DetectGPT 80.5 percent. The failure persists under Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct regeneration, LoRA-adapted Pythia-2.8B scoring heads, cross-IPC replication on A61K, C07D, and F03D (mean FPR 84.6 percent), and H100 re-evaluation with published Falcon-7B and GPT-J-6B heads, arguing the issue is structural rather than substitute-model capacity.

Do LLMs Need Architectural Changes for Simultaneous Speech Translation? A Prefix-to-Prefix Data Driven Approach

大型语言模型是否需要架构变更以实现同步语音翻译?一种基于前缀到前缀的数据驱动方法
Chen, Junkun, Xue, Jian, Tang, Ming, Heba, Abdel, Gholami, Hoda, Fan, Ruchao, Li, Jinyu
Abstract
Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) requires incremental translation under strict latency constraints, yet remains challenging for decoder-only LLM systems due to limited context and cross-lingual reordering. Recent approaches often introduce architectural changes or explicit read/write policies to control output timing, which can be brittle in conversational speech where segmentation boundaries are ambiguous. We present a simple data-driven alternative: fixed-length chunks for cumulative streaming decoding with a rewind-based committed prefix, and teacher-labeled prefix-to-prefix (P2P) targets with bounded waiting for fine-tuning, yielding CSSEL-P2P, where CSSEL is our proposed chunked streaming speech encoder LLM. In our in-house conversational speech evaluation, CSSEL-P2P improves streaming quality by +1.54 COMETKiwi over the CSSEL streaming baseline at comparable latency (+0.15s Average Lagging), suggesting effective SimulST without architectural changes via P2P supervision.

同步语音翻译(SimulST)要求在严格的延迟限制下进行增量翻译,但由于上下文有限和跨语言重排序,解码器仅的LLM系统仍然面临挑战。近期的方法通常引入架构变更或显式的读/写策略来控制输出时机,但在对话语音中,分段边界模糊,这可能导致脆弱性。我们提出了一种简单的数据驱动替代方案:使用固定长度的块进行累积流解码,并结合基于回退的已承诺前缀,以及带有有限等待的教师标记前缀到前缀(P2P)目标进行微调,形成CSSEL-P2P,其中CSSEL是我们提出的分块流语音编码器LLM。在我们内部的对话语音评估中,CSSEL-P2P在可比延迟下(+0.15秒平均滞后)相较于CSSEL流基线提高了+1.54 COMETKiwi的流质量,表明通过P2P监督实现有效的SimulST而无需架构变更。

What Models Express, Suppress, and Resist: Auditing Open-Weight LLMs with Persona Vectors

模型的表达、抑制与抵抗:使用个性向量审计开放权重的大型语言模型
Zeng, Winston, Emami, Ali, Choi, Jinho
Abstract
What a language model will and will not do is largely set during post-training, but which behaviors it expresses, hides, or resists is not revealed by prompting alone. Persona vectors, behavioral directions in activation space, can probe this organization, but prior work covers only a handful of traits. We present the first systematic application of persona vectors at this scale, compiling a 53-trait inventory across four behaviorally distinct domains and labeling every trait in two open-weight models as natural (expressed at baseline), steerable latent but amplifiable, or intractable (resistant to standard extraction). Both models default to helpful, task-oriented behavior: all nine agentic traits are natural, and their default clinician behavior matches a board-certified psychologist's independent desirability judgments on 16 of 17 traits. Steering produces its largest gains on traits these defaults exclude: hyperbole, hallucination, and sycophancy. The same asymmetry holds across all 171 generic-trait pairs: two steerable traits can collapse the composition, but pairs involving a default never do. Where standard extraction fails on a trait like "evil," a vector transferred from a fine-tuned variant still recovers it, with the residual refusals appearing inside the model's chain-of-thought. Persona vectors are most informative not as a set of controls but as a probe of behavioral organization.

语言模型的行为在后训练阶段基本确定,但其表达、隐藏或抵抗的行为仅通过提示并不能完全揭示。个性向量作为激活空间中的行为方向,可以探测这种组织结构,但之前的研究仅涵盖了少数特征。我们首次在这一规模上系统性地应用个性向量,编制了一个涵盖四个行为上明显不同领域的53个特征的清单,并将每个特征在两个开放权重模型中标记为自然(在基线下表达)、可引导的潜在但可放大的,或不可处理的(对标准提取具有抵抗性)。这两个模型默认表现出有帮助的、以任务为导向的行为:所有九个主动特征都是自然的,并且它们的默认临床行为与一位获得认证的心理学家对17个特征中16个的独立可取性判断相匹配。引导在这些默认特征所排除的特征上产生了最大的增益:夸张、幻觉和谄媚。在所有171对通用特征中,这种不对称性依然成立:两个可引导的特征可以压缩组合,但涉及默认特征的对从未如此。当标准提取在“邪恶”等特征上失败时,从微调变体转移的向量仍然能够恢复该特征,残余的拒绝出现在模型的思维链中。个性向量最有价值的不是作为一组控制变量,而是作为探测行为组织的工具。

Text2Sign: A Single-GPU Diffusion Baseline for Text-to-Sign Language Video Generation

Text2Sign:一种基于单个GPU的文本到手语视频生成的扩散基线
Xia, Ruize
Abstract
Sign language is a primary communication channel for millions of Deaf and hard-of-hearing people, yet text-to-signer video generation remains costly because video diffusion models are expensive to train and evaluate. This paper presents Text2Sign, a text-conditioned diffusion model for short sign-language clips that runs on a single NVIDIA L4 GPU. It combines a frozen vision-language text encoder with a 3D encoder-decoder and factorized spatiotemporal attention to reduce the cost of full-video attention while preserving motion coherence. We compare convolution-only and transformer-style backbones, frozen pretrained and task-specific text encoders, and factorized versus full attention. On a signer-disjoint How2Sign split, the best short-run ablation reaches a validation loss of 0.0648, while a longer-run checkpoint reaches 0.00999. On a compact evaluation slice, the latter achieves an SSIM of $0.2403 \pm 0.0238$, a PSNR of $15.11 \pm 0.42$ dB, and temporal consistency of $1.0000 \pm 0.0000$ using 8-step DDIM sampling with a guidance scale of 5.0. It generates a 32-frame, $64 \times 64$ clip in 12.60 seconds, or 2.54 frames per second, with peak inference memory of 3.12 GB. A held-out denoising audit shows only weak prompt sensitivity: removing text increases late-timestep loss from 0.9875 to 0.9891, while shuffled prompts perform similarly to correct prompts. Frozen text conditioning therefore improves short-budget validation loss, but prompt-specific separation remains limited. The system is restricted to low-resolution, short clips and lacks expert linguistic evaluation, so it should be viewed as a single-GPU research baseline rather than a complete sign-language production system.

手语是数百万聋人和重听者的主要沟通渠道,但文本到手语视频生成仍然成本高昂,因为视频扩散模型的训练和评估都非常耗费资源。本文提出了Text2Sign,一种基于文本条件的扩散模型,用于短手语片段,能够在单个NVIDIA L4 GPU上运行。该模型结合了一个冻结的视觉-语言文本编码器、一个3D编码器-解码器以及分解的时空注意力,以降低全视频注意力的成本,同时保持运动一致性。我们比较了仅卷积和变换器风格的骨干网络、冻结的预训练和任务特定的文本编码器,以及分解注意力与全注意力的效果。在一个与手语者不重叠的How2Sign数据集划分上,最佳的短期消融实验达到了0.0648的验证损失,而较长期的检查点达到了0.00999。在一个紧凑的评估片段上,后者的结构相似性指数(SSIM)为$0.2403 imes 0.0238$,峰值信噪比(PSNR)为$15.11 imes 0.42$ dB,时间一致性为$1.0000 imes 0.0000$,使用8步DDIM采样和5.0的引导比例。它在12.60秒内生成了一个32帧、$64 imes 64$的片段,帧率为2.54帧每秒,峰值推理内存为3.12 GB。一次保留的去噪审计显示出仅有微弱的提示敏感性:移除文本会使后期时间步的损失从0.9875增加到0.9891,而随机打乱的提示与正确提示的表现相似。因此,冻结的文本条件改善了短预算验证损失,但提示特定的分离仍然有限。该系统仅限于低分辨率、短片段,并缺乏专家语言评估,因此应被视为单个GPU的研究基线,而非完整的手语生成系统。代码可在https://github.com/xiaruize0911/text2sign获取。

RAGthoven at SemEval-2026 Task 1: A Multi-Stage Pipeline Walks Into a Benchmark and Barely Clears the Bar

RAGthoven在SemEval-2026任务1中的表现:一个多阶段管道走进基准测试,勉强达标
Šuppa, Marek, Ondrejová, Viktória, Ganajová, Lucia, Karetka, Gregor, Skala, Daniel
Abstract
We present RAGthoven, our system for SemEval-2026 Task 1 (MWAHAHA), Subtask A (multilingual constrained humor generation in English, Spanish, and Chinese). RAGthoven decomposes creative text generation into a multi-stage large language model (LLM) pipeline (Planner, Best-of-N Writer, Reflector for self-critique, LLM-as-a-judge Judge) grounded in computational humor theory (Benign Violation Theory, Script-based Semantic Theory of Humor) and refined across ten experiments. In our final configuration, we augment the Planner with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) from a curated joke corpus, seeding generation with diverse joke mechanisms. We also evaluate two agentic variants -- ReAct-style sequential tool-calling (Exp09) and autonomous multi-branch orchestration (Exp10) -- that expose the same four stages with a deterministic ConstraintAudit checker. Across four frontier models on a held-out 12-instance English sample, neither agentic variant produced outputs we judged superior to the non-agentic pipeline despite substantially higher tool-call budgets. RAGthoven shares Rank 1 with the Gemini 2.5 Flash baseline in all three languages, with overlapping organizer-reported confidence intervals. In Spanish, it leads the baseline by 42 raw Elo points (1182 vs. 1140), while in English (1045 vs. 1081) and Chinese (1045 vs. 1053) the baseline holds the higher raw rating within the same statistical tie. Together, these results suggest language-dependent diminishing returns from elaborate multi-stage prompt engineering and agentic scaffolding once a strong frontier model is in the loop.

Adaptive Filtering of the KV Cache: Diagnosing and Correcting Structural-Role Bias in LLM Inference

KV缓存的自适应过滤:诊断和纠正LLM推理中的结构角色偏差
Mandal, Soumil
Abstract
Attention-based KV cache eviction (H2O and its descendants) compresses the memory-constrained state of a long-context model by ranking tokens on accumulated attention mass, treated here as signal energy, and keeping the heaviest. On schema-dense input streams such as nested JSON, this score acts as a non-stationary filter that disproportionately retains noise: a non-content sink role (delimiters or whitespace) carries an order of magnitude more energy than any content role, and structural KEY tokens are over-retained at roughly 1.8x the rate of the answer-carrying VALUE tokens, collapsing exact-match accuracy from 88% to 0% at a 5% budget as the signal-to-noise ratio of the retained state degrades. A counterfactual experiment establishes that suppressing KEY tokens is the best deployable filter. Our retraining-free, role-conditional allocation over SnapKV's windowed score, governed by a single tuned hyperparameter, closes 63-98% of the H2O gap at sub-20% budgets and, at higher budgets, modestly matches or exceeds full-cache accuracy -- a small, seed-sensitive denoising effect (borderline significant at B=0.50; not distinguishable from zero at B=0.30 over four seeds). A 15 MB linear role probe supplies these labels at negligible inference cost, though matching parser-level downstream accuracy remains open.

GSM-Plus-BN: A Perturbation-Based Benchmark for Bangla Mathematical Reasoning in Large Language Models

GSM-Plus-BN:一种基于扰动的孟加拉数学推理基准测试
Paul, Bidyarthi, Mayouree, Nahida Jannat, Karim, Md. Asif, Nath, Sagar Chandra, Kundu, Swastika
Abstract
The evaluation of mathematical reasoning in large language models (LLMs) has predominantly focused on high-resource languages like English. This has created a significant barrier to the equitable development and deployment of AI in linguistically diverse regions such as Bangladesh, where over 230 million people speak Bengali. Despite this global significance, there has been minimal prior work on mathematical reasoning in Bengali and no existing research that systematically benchmarks a perturbated Bengali mathematical dataset, leaving a critical void in assessing model robustness and true comprehension beyond pattern recognition. This study addresses this gap by introducing GSM-Plus-BN, a novel perturbated Bengali mathematical dataset derived from the English GSM-Plus benchmark and verified by human translators. We evaluate six open-source LLMs Qwen3-32B, Llama-3.1-8B-Instant, Llama-3.3-70B-Versatile, Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct, GPT-OSS-120B, and GPT-OSS-20B using a benchmark of 9,000 evaluation samples comprising 1,000 seed questions and 8,000 perturbed variants under both Standard Prompting and Chain-of-Thought (CoT) Prompting. Experimental results show that GPT-OSS-20B achieves the highest seed question accuracy of 96.08% under Standard Prompting, while larger models such as Llama-3.3-70B and GPT-OSS-120B demonstrate superior robustness across perturbation types. Furthermore, CoT prompting substantially improves reasoning for most models compared to Standard Prompting, yet a notable performance gap persists across all models relative to their English benchmarks, underscoring the inherent difficulty of perturbed Bengali text. This research makes a foundational contribution by providing GSM-PLUS-BN as a new resource and baseline for future Bengali mathematical reasoning research.

Discourse-Aware Policy Analysis with Argumentation: A Hybrid LLM-Symbolic Framework for Disaster Governance

基于话语的政策分析与论证:灾害治理的混合LLM-符号框架
Vasileiou, Stylianos Loukas, Derendiaeva, Olga
Abstract
Policy documents shape governance outcomes, but their reasoning is often implicit. Participatory commitments and managerial control routinely coexist in the same text, and the tensions between them are rarely stated directly. Existing computational approaches to policy discourse cannot express the frame-mediated relations that drive these tensions, where one argument narrows or instrumentalizes another rather than rejecting it. End-to-end summarization by large language models produces fluent text but offers little structure that domain experts can inspect or contest. We present Apaf, a hybrid LLM--symbolic pipeline that operationalizes critical discourse analysis as a quantitative bipolar argumentation framework over policy text. Arguments are first classified into deliberative or managerial frames. Four frame-mediated relation subtypes (agency reduction, agenda shift, instrumental support, and normative support) are then produced by deterministic rules over LLM-extracted features. We release a novel dataset of 100 sub-documents of disaster-risk-reduction policy from the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia, and show that the resulting argument graphs are accurate, interpretable, and stable across jurisdictions.

Finding the Right Tables and Columns: A Benchmark and Corpus-Adaptive Embeddings for SQL Schema Retrieval

寻找合适的表和列:用于 SQL 架构检索的基准和语料库自适应嵌入
Zeng, Qingcheng, Yu, Puxuan, Mehta, Aman, Zhao, Fuheng, Samdani, Rajhans
Abstract
Retrieval in the SQL setting has largely been studied as the task of finding, within a large collection of SQL statements, the statement that answers a natural-language question. At scale, however, a more fundamental retrieval problem precedes generation: schema retrieval, identifying the tables and columns a question requires in a database that may contain thousands of them, far more than fit in a model's context. We argue that this step warrants first-class evaluation. To this end, we recast five text-to-SQL datasets (Spider, BIRD, BEAVER, and two LiveSQLBench variants) as retrieval tasks at both table and column granularity, covering realistic and enterprise-scale schemas under two document representations, and we show that off-the-shelf text and code embedders transfer poorly to this setting. We then propose corpus-adaptive fine-tuning: natural-language queries are synthesized directly from the target schema corpus, granularity-aware hard negatives are mined, and a 305M-parameter embedder is fine-tuned contrastively. This procedure raises average recall@10 from 60.4 to 75.6 (nDCG@10 from 51.9 to 68.0), making the 305M model the strongest retriever under one billion parameters and competitive with state-of-the-art embedders of 4-8B parameters, more than an order of magnitude larger. The same recipe improves an 8B state-of-the-art embedder from 77.8 to 78.4 recall@10, matching the best result on the benchmark and indicating that the adaptation is backbone-agnostic. Leave-one-corpus-out experiments and a leakage audit show that these gains reflect a transferable schema-retrieval ability rather than memorization of the evaluation data. Our results establish schema linking as a standalone retrieval task and lightweight, label-free corpus adaptation as a practical route to deploying it at enterprise scale.

在 SQL 环境中的检索主要被研究为在大量 SQL 语句中找到能够回答自然语言问题的语句。然而,在大规模的情况下,更为根本的检索问题是架构检索,即识别一个问题在可能包含成千上万张表和列的数据库中所需的表和列,这远远超出了模型的上下文容量。我们认为这一步骤值得进行一流的评估。为此,我们将五个文本到 SQL 数据集(Spider、BIRD、BEAVER 以及两个 LiveSQLBench 变体)重新构建为表和列粒度的检索任务,涵盖现实和企业级架构,并在两种文档表示下进行实验,结果表明现成的文本和代码嵌入器在这一设置下表现不佳。随后,我们提出了语料库自适应微调:自然语言查询直接从目标架构语料库中合成,挖掘粒度感知的困难负样本,并对一个305M参数的嵌入器进行对比微调。这一过程将平均 recall@10 从 60.4 提升至 75.6(nDCG@10 从 51.9 提升至 68.0),使得305M模型成为在十亿参数下最强的检索器,并与4-8B参数的最先进嵌入器竞争,后者的规模大于一个数量级。相同的方法将一个8B的最先进嵌入器的 recall@10 从 77.8 提升至 78.4,匹配基准测试中的最佳结果,并表明这种适应性与基础架构无关。留一语料库实验和泄漏审计表明,这些提升反映了可转移的架构检索能力,而非对评估数据的记忆。我们的结果确立了架构链接作为独立的检索任务,并将轻量级、无标签的语料库适应性作为在企业规模上部署的实用途径。

Meta-Learning Preferences for Multilingual LLM Alignment

多语言大语言模型对齐的元学习偏好
Lin, Jiaying, Son, Seongho, Tran, Nam Phuong, Tran-thanh, Long, Bogunovic, Ilija, Mandal, Debmalya
Abstract
Unequal availability of human preference data across languages poses a significant challenge for aligning large language models in multilingual settings. To address the lack of sufficient data in low-resource language alignment, we propose a meta-learning framework for Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback and Direct Preference Optimization. By leveraging preference data from other languages, our framework learns a transferable initialization that enables effective adaptation to a target language with minimal data. We provide theoretical guarantees for both the meta-reward modeling and meta-policy optimization settings, and empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on multilingual benchmarks. In an extremely low-resource setting with only 100 target-language preference samples, our approach achieves up to $28\%$ win-rate improvements over baseline methods, and consistently outperforms baselines across multiple target languages and model scales. Our approaches retain these advantages across different combinations of meta-training languages and varying linguistic distances from the target languages.

Evaluation Ability Does Not Imply Optimization Utility: LLM-as-a-Judge Signals in Closed-Loop Table Recognition

评估能力并不意味着优化效用:闭环表格识别中的 LLM 作为裁判的信号
Kim, Donghwan
Abstract
LLM-as-a-judge is widely used to provide feedback and selection signals in closedloop regeneration, but this use remains insufficiently validated. We study it in table recognition, where deterministic TEDS evaluation provides a controlled testbed, using FinTabNet and OmniDocBench. Three findings emerge. First, judge signals were weak on both datasets: scores frequently tied, rankings were not reproducible, and the only selection policy that beat random on both datasets depended on an earliest-iteration tie rule, so its advantage cannot be attributed to the judge scores alone. Iteration produced better candidates, but the judge failed to recover them. Second, severe losses occurred even without specific judge feedback. A structurepreserving instruction significantly reduced the severe-loss rate on FinTabNet and was directionally consistent on OmniDocBench. The contrasts support target-preservation failure under unconstrained regeneration as a proximate mechanism of the observed severe losses. Third, the structure-preservation constraint reduced the severe-loss tail but produced no improvement. In an exploratory 2x2 analysis, the same protection was not stably observed when judge feedback was retained. These results do not dispute the value of LLMs as evaluators. Instead, they show that evaluation ability does not imply optimization utility. Iterative refinement requires, at minimum, a verification signal that deterministically detects structural change, rather than judge scores alone.

LLM 作为裁判被广泛用于在闭环再生中提供反馈和选择信号,但这种用法仍然缺乏充分验证。我们在表格识别中研究这一点,其中确定性的 TEDS 评估提供了一个受控的测试平台,使用 FinTabNet 和 OmniDocBench。研究得出了三个发现。首先,在两个数据集上裁判信号较弱:得分经常平局,排名不可重复,唯一在两个数据集上超越随机选择的选择策略依赖于最早迭代的平局规则,因此其优势不能仅归因于裁判得分。迭代产生了更好的候选项,但裁判未能恢复它们。第二,即使没有特定的裁判反馈,严重损失也会发生。一个保持结构的指令显著降低了 FinTabNet 上的严重损失率,并在 OmniDocBench 上方向一致。对比结果支持在无约束再生下目标保持失败作为观察到的严重损失的近因机制。第三,结构保持约束减少了严重损失的尾部,但没有产生改善。在一个探索性的 2x2 分析中,当保留裁判反馈时,同样的保护并未稳定观察到。这些结果并不否定 LLM 作为评估者的价值。相反,它们表明评估能力并不意味着优化效用。迭代改进至少需要一个验证信号,该信号能够确定性地检测结构变化,而不仅仅依赖裁判得分。

A POS Tier Is the Key to Automated Annotation for Low-Resource Language Documentation: Neural Interlinear Glossing for Irabu, a Southern Ryukyuan Language

POS层是低资源语言文献自动注释的关键:针对南琉球语言Irabu的神经逐行注释
Shimoji, Michinori
Abstract
Discourse data are the primary empirical basis of grammar writing in field linguistics, but producing interlinearized text is notoriously expensive - on the order of one hour of work per minute of recording. For endangered languages, where the time remaining to verify analyses with native speakers is itself limited, automating parts of the interlinearization workflow has direct documentary value. We implement a full neural annotation pipeline (morpheme segmentation, POS tagging, glossing) for Irabu Ryukyuan using deliberately small, transparent BiLSTM-CRF models, and evaluate it under a realistic hard constraint: approximately one hour of fully annotated discourse as the entire supervised resource. Two factors of the annotation itself are manipulated: its richness (with or without a POS tier) and its quantity (training budgets from 6 to 47 minutes). Gold POS improves grammatical glossing by +4.4 (SD 0.7) points (significant in all 5 seeds), and the gain grows as data shrink (+11.6 points at a quarter of the data); a POS tier more than halves the amount of glossed data needed to reach a given accuracy. In a fully automatic pipeline this gain is not yet realized: the tagger still errs on 12% of morphemes, and an incorrect POS misleads the glossing model more than no POS at all. The value is latent rather than lost: degrading gold POS with controlled noise shows the gain returning as tagger accuracy rises, with break-even near our tagger's current 88% and +1.6 to +3.2 points recovered at 92-96%. We conclude with a concrete recommendation for documentation practice: annotate quadrilinearly - text, POS, gloss, translation.

话语数据是田野语言学中语法撰写的主要实证基础,但生成逐行文本的成本极高——每分钟录音大约需要一个小时的工作时间。对于濒危语言而言,验证与母语者的分析所需的时间本身是有限的,因此自动化逐行注释工作流程的部分环节具有直接的文献价值。我们为Irabu琉球语实现了一个完整的神经注释管道(词素分割、词性标注、注释),使用故意设计的小型透明BiLSTM-CRF模型,并在一个现实的严格约束下进行评估:大约一小时的完全注释话语作为整个监督资源。我们操控了注释本身的两个因素:其丰富性(有或没有POS层)和数量(训练预算从6分钟到47分钟)。金标准词性标注(Gold POS)使语法注释提高了+4.4(标准差0.7)分(在所有5个种子中均显著),而随着数据量缩小,增益进一步增加(在四分之一数据时提高了+11.6分);POS层使达到给定准确度所需的注释数据量减少了一半以上。在完全自动化的管道中,这一增益尚未实现:标注器在12%的词素上仍然出错,错误的词性标注比没有词性标注更容易误导注释模型。该价值是潜在的而非丧失的:通过控制噪声降低金标准词性标注显示,随着标注器准确性的提高,增益会恢复,在我们标注器当前的88%时接近平衡,92-96%时恢复+1.6到+3.2分。我们以对文献实践的具体建议作为结论:进行四线注释——文本、词性、注释、翻译。

GFlowRL: Scaling Distribution-Matching RL to Large Language Models

GFlowRL:将分布匹配强化学习扩展到大型语言模型
Liu, Xiaodong, Xu, Michael, Stokes, Jack W., Smolensky, Paul, Burger, Doug, Gao, Jianfeng
Abstract
Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) offer a promising alternative to reward-maximizing reinforcement learning (RL) for large reasoning models, encouraging diverse reasoning paths by matching reward distributions rather than collapsing to dominant modes. Recent work shows promise on math and code, but scaling GFlowNet-style RL to modern post-training pipelines remains difficult: as model size, rollout horizon, reward noise, and distributed-systems complexity grow together, a learned prompt-conditional partition function becomes a source of gradient instability and engineering overhead rather than a useful normalizer. Through systematic analysis, we find that the learned partition function, previously treated as essential, can be replaced by an in-batch Monte Carlo estimate computed from the rollout group already required for training. We propose GFlowRL, a streamlined GFlowNet-style RL algorithm that removes the auxiliary partition network entirely while preserving the reward-distribution-matching objective, completed by two stabilizers: importance-sampling correction for rollout/trainer drift and asymmetric flow-gap clipping for outlier residuals. GFlowRL exceeds all counterparts on math, code, and adversarial red-teaming benchmarks, reaching a Codeforces rating of 2048 at the 14B scale (within 25 Elo of o3-mini) and attaining the highest average ASR@1 on AdvBench and HarmBench, outperforming the previous SOTA multi-turn attacker in a regime where FlowRL, a prior GFlowNet-style method, diverges. The same recipe transfers to all evaluated MoE configurations up to 235B parameters, where FlowRL again fails to converge. To our knowledge, GFlowRL is the first GFlowNet-style RL algorithm to scale stably across both dense and sparse architectures. Code will be at: https://github.com/microsoft/gflowrl

生成流网络(GFlowNets)为大型推理模型提供了一种有前景的替代方案,鼓励通过匹配奖励分布而非陷入主导模式来实现多样化的推理路径。近期的研究在数学和代码方面显示出良好的前景,但将GFlowNet风格的强化学习扩展到现代后训练管道仍然困难:随着模型规模、回滚时间、奖励噪声和分布式系统复杂性的共同增长,学习的条件分区函数成为梯度不稳定和工程开销的来源,而不是一个有用的归一化器。通过系统分析,我们发现先前被视为必要的学习分区函数可以被从已经用于训练的回滚组计算的批内蒙特卡洛估计所替代。我们提出了GFlowRL,这是一种简化的GFlowNet风格的强化学习算法,完全去除了辅助分区网络,同时保留了奖励分布匹配目标,并通过两个稳定器完成:用于回滚/训练者漂移的重要性采样修正和用于异常残差的非对称流差裁剪。GFlowRL在数学、代码和对抗性红队基准测试中超越了所有对手,在14B规模上达到了2048的Codeforces评级(比o3-mini高出25 Elo),并在AdvBench和HarmBench上获得了最高的平均ASR@1,超越了在FlowRL(之前的GFlowNet风格方法)发散的情况下的SOTA多轮攻击者。相同的方法适用于所有评估的MoE配置,参数规模高达235B,其中FlowRL再次未能收敛。据我们所知,GFlowRL是第一个在稠密和稀疏架构中稳定扩展的GFlowNet风格的强化学习算法。代码将在:https://github.com/microsoft/gflowrl

Demystifying On-Policy Distillation: Roles, Pathologies, and Regulations

揭示在线策略蒸馏:角色、病理与调节
Wang, Rui, Wang, Hongru, Chen, Yi, Xue, Boyang, Fang, Tianqing, Yu, Wenhao, Wong, Kam-Fai
Abstract
On-policy distillation (OPD) has become a key paradigm in LLM post-training, yet its training dynamics remain poorly understood. We present a systematic study examining the role, pathologies, and regulations of OPD. We first clarify the role of OPD as an exploration catalyst: it steers the student toward correct reasoning paths via dense token-level guidance, without expanding capability ceiling. We confirm this by showing that prompt diversity matters more than per-problem sampling numbers, and critically, that the effectiveness of OPD hinges entirely on the quality of its guiding signal. This dependency exposes two pathologies that derail exploration. The Student-Teacher Mismatch occurs when a large teacher-student distributional gap causes the guiding signal to misalign with task correctness, steering exploration in counterproductive directions. Length Exploitation arises when the aggregated token-level objective creates length-dependent shortcuts, allowing the student to game the reward landscape through response truncation or redundant padding, exploring degenerate length modes rather than reasoning strategies. To tame these pathologies, we investigate lightweight signal regulations: advantage clipping and log-scale compression, ensuring exploration is guided by faithful signals. Experiments across seven benchmarks demonstrate that these regulations alleviate length exploitation and enable effective distillation, stably surpassing OPD variants and RLVR baselines, thereby confirming that well-regulated signal quality, rather than mere teacher scale, governs successful exploration in OPD.

在线策略蒸馏(On-policy distillation, OPD)已成为大规模语言模型(LLM)后训练中的关键范式,但其训练动态仍然不甚明了。我们进行了一项系统研究,考察了OPD的角色、病理和调节。我们首先澄清了OPD作为探索催化剂的角色:它通过密集的标记级指导,引导学生朝向正确的推理路径,而不扩展能力的上限。我们通过展示提示多样性比每个问题的采样数量更为重要,确认了这一点,并且关键的是,OPD的有效性完全依赖于其指导信号的质量。这种依赖性暴露了两种妨碍探索的病理。学生-教师不匹配(Student-Teacher Mismatch)发生在当教师与学生之间存在较大的分布差距时,导致指导信号与任务正确性不一致,从而引导探索朝着无益的方向。长度利用(Length Exploitation)则是在聚合的标记级目标创建了依赖长度的捷径,使得学生能够通过响应截断或冗余填充来操控奖励景观,探索退化的长度模式而非推理策略。为了驯服这些病理,我们研究了轻量级信号调节:优势裁剪(advantage clipping)和对数尺度压缩(log-scale compression),确保探索受到真实信号的引导。七个基准测试的实验表明,这些调节缓解了长度利用,并实现了有效的蒸馏,稳定地超越了OPD变体和RLVR基线,从而确认了良好调节的信号质量,而非单纯的教师规模,主导了OPD中的成功探索。

Abstract
Translating complex biomedical data into patient-friendly narratives is central to modern biomedical informatics. This study presents a comparative analysis of training small language models (SLMs) in specialized biomedical datato-text generation tasks. We explore widely adopted post-training methods including supervised fine-tuning (SFT), direct preference optimization (DPO), odds ratio preference optimization (ORPO), and group relative policy optimization (GRPO) with Qwen-based SLMs on a medicine package leaflets dataset. To assess cross-dataset generalizability, we also curated drug label data from openFDA. We evaluate models using both standard lexical overlap metrics like ROUGE as well as semantic similarity measures. Across our experiments, the results show that (1) the aligned SLMs outperform proprietary models like GPT-5; (2) ORPO outperforms the SFTbaselines; (3) GRPO yields the most robust cross-dataset performance among the alignment methods tested as well as GPT-5.

When Rubrics Change: Cross-Rubric Generalization for Critical Thinking Essay Scoring

当评分标准变化时:批判性思维论文评分的跨评分标准泛化
Kumar, Nischal Ashok, Wittawatolarn, Payu, Kang, Sana, Peczuh, Marisa C., Lehman, Blair, Baker, Ryan, Mills, Caitlin, Lachman, Sherry, Sun, Ruochen, Lan, Andrew
Abstract
Automated essay scoring (AES) research has largely focused on cross-prompt generalization, where essays from unseen prompts are scored while the scoring criteria are typically held constant. In practice, however, educators may revise or even introduce new rubrics in their scoring task, to evaluate different aspects of essays. We study cross-rubric generalization: training on essays labeled under one set of rubrics and evaluating on previously unseen rubrics, which target different aspects of the essay. We use a Large Language Model (LLM) fine-tuning framework with two components: rubric-agnostic intermediate representations, called traits, and target-essay supervision under seen rubrics during training. On an AES dataset augmented with multiple rubric-defined labels of student critical thinking skills, we find that traits improve macro F1 by 5.0% over a baseline without traits in the hardest setting, where both target rubrics and target essays are unseen during training. We further find that increasing target-essay supervision improves performance, with our best fine-tuned open-source Llama-based model outperforming GPT-5-mini prompting by 2.1% macro F1 and trailing GPT-5 by 1.9%. These results show that trait-based intermediate structure and controlled supervision improve generalization to unseen rubrics.

Live Gurbani Tracking: A Benchmark and Reference System for Captioning Sikh Kirtan

实时古尔巴尼跟踪:锡克教基尔坦字幕的基准和参考系统
Singh, Karanbir
Abstract
We present a benchmark and reference system for live captioning of Sikh Kirtan - the continuous, sung recitation of verses from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji (SGGS). Unlike open-vocabulary lyrics transcription, Kirtan captioning is a closed-vocabulary problem: every displayed line must be an exact, word-for-word line from the canonical scripture, because displaying misspelled Gurmukhi is considered religiously inappropriate. We formalize the task as predicting, at every time t, a pair (shabad_id, line_idx) or null, and organize the problem space into a 2x2 matrix along two orthogonal axes: live vs. offline (causal vs. full-audio access) and blind vs. oracle (shabad identity discovered vs. given). We release v1 of the benchmark - 4 hand-annotated Kirtan recordings x 3 cold-start offsets = 12 evaluation cases, ~57 minutes of scored audio - together with a scorer that computes frame accuracy at 1s resolution over a scored region, with a 1s collar and gap-tolerant scoring at segment boundaries. We describe a reference system (fine-tuned 120M IndicConformer -> fuzzy matcher -> state machine; INT8 ONNX; RTF ~0.05 on one Apple Silicon core) that achieves 57.9% overall frame accuracy across all 12 cases (10/12 correct shabad locks) on the hardest variant (live x blind). We compare against three trivial baselines (empty, shifted-5s, perfect) and discuss why standard ASR metrics (WER/CER) measure transcription accuracy rather than the display accuracy this task requires. The benchmark, reference system, and a live deployment are released under permissive licenses to facilitate further improvements.

DevicesWorld: Benchmarking Cross-Device Agents in Heterogeneous Environments

Abstract
LLM-based agents have rapidly improved at operating individual digital environments such as mobile applications, desktop systems, and smart homes. However, real-world user goals often span multiple devices: information may come from a phone, be processed on a desktop, and the result may need to appear on another device. Most existing benchmarks center on a single dominant execution environment, making it difficult to evaluate whether agents can acquire and integrate information across heterogeneous devices and complete end-to-end tasks with cross-device dependencies. We introduce DevicesWorld, a large-scale executable benchmark for cross-device collaborative operation. DevicesWorld contains 6,140 tasks and integrates three classes of device environments -- mobile, desktop, and IoT -- into a unified cross-device interaction and evaluation framework. Each task defines a natural-language user goal, participating devices and initial states, executable actions, rule-based verifiers, and a cleanup procedure. A multi-stage construction and quality-control pipeline keeps tasks close to realistic user needs while allowing final outcomes to be automatically verified from device states and generated files. We evaluate five frontier LLM-agent systems on a fixed evaluation set. All methods achieve low success rates, with the best reaching only 12.5%. Among failed runs, about 28.7% satisfy at least one scoring condition yet still fail the full task. Trajectories show that agents become stuck acquiring information or manipulating interfaces, confuse source and output devices, or terminate before all conditions are jointly satisfied. DevicesWorld turns cross-device collaborative operation into an executable, reproducible, and diagnostically useful evaluation problem for research on reliable cross-device agents.

Abstract
We present MyAG, a graph-based framework for designing and analyzing composable LLM agent systems. Our framework separates agent system construction into three graph abstractions: a component graph for agents, environments, and modules; a workflow graph for execution control; and a search graph for runtime execution. This separation allows users to flexibly reuse the same components with different strategies. We further support hierarchical composition through recursive system nodes and provide monitoring and visualization tools for inspecting agent execution. Experiments on representative agent applications show that our framework supports flexible agent system design and helps analyze performance-efficiency tradeoffs. Our framework is publicly available and fully open-source.

Cost-Pragmatic Quality Gating and Selection-Fusion Multi-Model Combiners for BioASQ Phases A+ and B

成本务实的质量门控与选择-融合多模型组合器用于BioASQ阶段A+和B
Galat, Dima, Rizoiu, Marian-Andrei
Abstract
We describe our BioASQ Task 14B 2026 system. The work centers on two design decisions: how aggressively to re-retrieve when first-stage retrieval is weak, and how to combine multiple language-model answers. Retrieval unions two parallel pipelines - a hybrid first stage (dense BGE + BM25 + RRF, reaching R@200 = 99.3% on the BioASQ-13b historical archive) and an agent-driven pipeline that decomposes the question over PubMed, Europe PMC, and iCite - with a BGE cross-encoder quality gate flagging weakly-supported questions for selective re-retrieval. On Task 12B 2024 validation, a cost-pragmatic re-retrieval policy beats a skill-strict baseline significantly on list F1 and list precision, at 12% lower re-retrieval cost. Holding prompt and model fixed across val and test 13B (different question sets), list F1 rises by +0.132 absolute on the BioASQ-released gold-input pool, consistent with substantial retrieval-side headroom. For Phase B answering we decompose multi-model ensemble lift into a selection component bounded by the per-question oracle and a fusion component that aggregators can exceed. The decomposition predicts before any experiment that LLM-as-judge wins on selection-dominated metrics (yes/no, multi-reference ROUGE) but is structurally insufficient on the recall component of fusion-friendly metrics (factoid rank-1, list recall). On Task 13B 2025 our synonym-union resolver wins list recall on every head, while GPT-5.5 solo retains the list-F1 lead because the resolver's wider item set costs precision. On the Task 14B 2026 preliminary leaderboard our team places first on the combined-exact aggregate on three of the eight (phase x batch) leaderboards, wins four individual question-type cells, and takes #1 on Phase B b3 ideal.

Graded Entity-Familiarity Readouts in Language Models: Polish Adaptation, Cross-Language Robustness, and Refusal Steering

语言模型中的分级实体熟悉度读取:波兰适应性、跨语言鲁棒性与拒绝引导
Brzezinka, Grzegorz
Abstract
Can a language model estimate its familiarity with an entity before generating an answer? We study activations at the final prompt token in twelve instruction-tuned models from the Bielik, PLLuM, Gemma-4, and Qwen3 families, using a new dataset of 1,440 Polish entities spanning four domains and ten Wikipedia-pageview deciles, plus fabricated controls. Familiarity-probe scores separate real from fabricated entities in every family; in the Polish-adapted Bielik and PLLuM families they additionally track entity popularity (model-mean Spearman $\rho$ 0.28-0.57, versus at most 0.11 in Gemma-4 and Qwen3), a pattern more strongly associated with Polish adaptation than with parameter count in this model sample. In a paired experiment on two families, probes retain 96-101% of within-language AUROC when the Polish question stem is replaced with an English one around unchanged entity names, showing robustness to prompt language in this setting. In Gemma-4-12B, the only model that natively refuses, adding a one-dimensional familiarity direction at a single layer moves refusal rates monotonically in both directions (0.24 to 1.00 on well-known entities; 0.73 to 0.00 on unknown ones). Finally, a calibrated familiarity probe is competitive among pre-generation abstention gates, although post-generation detectors better predict behavioral error on average. These results support a graded pre-generation entity-familiarity readout, and a separation between representational familiarity and the policy that converts it into abstention.

Memory as a Controlled Process: Learned Adaptive Memory Management for LLM Agents

记忆作为一种受控过程:针对大型语言模型代理的自适应记忆管理
Jiang, Eric Hanchen, Zhang, Zhi, Wu, Yuchen, Li, Levina, Liu, Dong, Liang, Xiao, Sun, Rui, Li, Yubei, Sun, Edward, Luo, Haozheng, Kang, Zhaolu, Caliskan, Aylin, Chang, Kai-Wei, Wu, Ying Nian
Abstract
Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on external memory systems to accumulate experience across tasks. Yet nearly all existing approaches, from graph-structured memories to reflective insight stores, access memory through fixed, hand-designed heuristics. We argue that this static view of memory is a core bottleneck for agentic learning because optimal memory behavior is fundamentally context-dependent. The early stages of the tasks, benefit from minimal retrieval because memory is sparse; recurring goal types benefit from plan reuse rather than generic nearest-neighbor lookup; stuck agents benefit from re-retrieval with alternative queries; and across long task streams, the memory store itself must be consolidated and pruned to remain useful. We present Memory as a Controlled Process (MemCon), a framework that models memory operations as a Markov Decision Process and learns an online policy that adaptively decides when, what, and how much to retrieve, when to inject a distilled plan, and when to consolidate or forget. MemCon is backend-agnostic: it wraps any existing memory implementation, learns from task-by-task binary feedback with no pretraining and no additional LLM calls, and uses a lightweight tabular contextual bandit with UCB exploration that converges within tens of tasks. Across 6 benchmarks, 3 agent frameworks, and 3 LLM backbones, MemCon consistently outperforms multiple memory baselines by up to 15.2 points in task success while reducing token consumption by 5--20%.

大型语言模型(LLM)代理越来越依赖外部记忆系统来积累跨任务的经验。然而,几乎所有现有的方法,从图结构记忆到反思洞察存储,都是通过固定的、手工设计的启发式方法来访问记忆。我们认为,这种静态的记忆观是代理学习的一个核心瓶颈,因为最佳的记忆行为从根本上依赖于上下文。任务的早期阶段,由于记忆稀疏,最小的检索是有益的;重复的目标类型更依赖于计划重用,而不是通用的最近邻查找;被困的代理则受益于使用替代查询进行重新检索;在长任务流中,记忆存储本身必须进行整合和修剪以保持其有效性。我们提出了“记忆作为一种受控过程”(Memory as a Controlled Process, MemCon),这是一个将记忆操作建模为马尔可夫决策过程的框架,并学习一种在线策略,自适应地决定何时、检索什么以及检索多少,何时注入提炼的计划,以及何时进行整合或遗忘。MemCon与后端无关:它可以包装任何现有的记忆实现,利用逐任务的二元反馈进行学习,无需预训练和额外的LLM调用,并使用轻量级的表格上下文赌博机(tabular contextual bandit)结合UCB探索,在数十个任务内收敛。在6个基准测试、3个代理框架和3个LLM骨干网络中,MemCon在任务成功率上始终超越多个记忆基线,最高可达15.2个百分点,同时减少5%至20%的令牌消耗。

Systematic comparisons between current situations and structurally similar past events in the historical, i.e., historical analogies, is among the most powerful tools for foresight analysis. In this work, we present a new task called Analogical Deep Research (ADR) to Large Language Model (LLM) agents and construct the first ADR benchmark ADR-bench to study whether LLM agents are able to find and leverage historical analogies when doing foresight analysis. Our investigation reveals a key obstacle: LLM agents are poor at finding analogies because they match on surface features rather than underlying mechanisms. We argue that ADR is inherently a causal question as it requires understanding why the event occurred. Based on our theoretical analysis, we propose two principles required for ADR, including the mechanism alignment and cross-analogy confirmation. Built upon our theoretical results, we propose a new agentic framework called Causal Analogical Researcher (CANA) that guides LLMs to find and integrate historical analogies. CANA incorporates a simple yet effective structural decomposition representation, and integrates structural feedback for reflective improvements of historical analogy identification and integration. We show that CANA brings up to 10% improvements in historical analogy generation, and surpasses the state-of-the-art deep research agents in the ADR-bench. Case studies with the ongoing events confirm the effectiveness of CANA in leveraging historical analogies.

对当前情况与历史上结构相似的事件进行系统比较,即历史类比,是进行前瞻性分析的最强大工具之一。在本研究中,我们提出了一项新任务,称为类比深度研究(Analogical Deep Research, ADR),并构建了第一个ADR基准(ADR-bench),以研究大型语言模型(Large Language Model, LLM)代理在进行前瞻性分析时是否能够找到和利用历史类比。我们的调查揭示了一个关键障碍:LLM代理在寻找类比方面表现不佳,因为它们主要基于表面特征而非潜在机制进行匹配。我们认为,ADR本质上是一个因果问题,因为它需要理解事件发生的原因。基于我们的理论分析,我们提出了ADR所需的两个原则,包括机制对齐和跨类比确认。在我们的理论结果基础上,我们提出了一种新的代理框架,称为因果类比研究者(Causal Analogical Researcher, CANA),该框架指导LLM找到并整合历史类比。CANA结合了一种简单而有效的结构分解表示,并整合了结构反馈,以反思性地改善历史类比的识别和整合。我们展示了CANA在历史类比生成方面提高了多达10%的效果,并在ADR-bench中超越了最先进的深度研究代理。对正在进行的事件的案例研究确认了CANA在利用历史类比方面的有效性。

Self-Evolving Agent Harnesses via Gated Semantic Quality-Diversity

自我进化代理的门控语义质量多样性利用
Luo, Xiaotian, Wang, Fengxingyu, Hu, Chuanrui, Xue, Dizhan, Deng, Yafeng
Abstract
An LLM agent's real-task performance is shaped as much by the harness around its model as by the frozen model itself: its prompts, injected knowledge, runtime control, and configuration. In deployment the harness is often the only lever available, so improving it automatically is the natural way to raise performance without touching the weights. The hard part is not generating changes but knowing which one truly helped. Self-generated feedback is noisy, and an apparent gain can be a measurement artifact or an edit that merely overfits the tasks it was tuned on. We present a self-evolving agent-harness framework that separates proposing changes from crediting them: a language model diagnoses failures and proposes patches, while all sampling, measurement, and significance testing are owned by deterministic code, so every credited improvement is trustworthy by construction. Patches populate a gated, categorical quality-diversity archive (GSME) keyed on the (WHERE x WHY) pathology an edit addresses rather than the tasks it fixes, an anti-overfitting inductive bias; generalization is measured on a sealed test scored only after evolution. Across seven domains with a frozen open-weight model, the harness is train-selected and scored once on a sealed test; its credited gains there are +9 to +15.5pp and retain 86-147% of the training gain, evidence they generalize rather than overfit. The winning patch tracks the model's dominant pathology, not its size or family: changing the model can change the pathology and the patch, while the same pathology-to-patch match recurs across two model families. What transfers is the diagnose-and-credit loop, not any specific harness.

大型语言模型(LLM)代理的实际任务表现不仅受其模型本身的影响,还受到围绕其模型的框架的影响:包括提示、注入的知识、运行时控制和配置。在部署中,框架往往是唯一可用的杠杆,因此自动改进它是提高性能的自然方式,而无需调整模型权重。困难之处在于,不仅要生成变化,还要知道哪种变化真正有帮助。自生成的反馈通常是噪声,表面上的增益可能是测量伪影或仅仅是过拟合于其调优任务的编辑。我们提出了一种自我进化代理框架,该框架将提出变化与归因分开:语言模型诊断失败并提出补丁,而所有采样、测量和显著性测试均由确定性代码负责,因此每个被认可的改进在构造上都是可信的。补丁填充在一个门控的分类质量多样性档案(GSME)中,该档案以编辑所针对的(WHERE x WHY)病理为键,而不是修复的任务,这是一种反过拟合的归纳偏差;泛化在一个密封测试上进行测量,该测试仅在进化后评分。在七个领域中,使用一个冻结的开放权重模型,框架经过训练选择并在一个密封测试上评分;其在该测试中的认可增益为+9到+15.5个百分点,并保留了86-147%的训练增益,证明它们是泛化而非过拟合。获胜的补丁跟踪模型的主要病理,而不是其大小或家族:改变模型可以改变病理和补丁,而相同的病理与补丁的匹配在两个模型家族中反复出现。转移的是诊断与归因的循环,而不是任何特定的框架。

The Test Oracle Problem in Synthetic LLM-as-Judge Corpora: Disappearance, Distortion and a Validation Protocol

合成 LLM 作为评判者语料库中的测试oracle问题:消失、扭曲与验证协议
Ballı, Serkan
Abstract
Studies of bias in LLM-as-judge systems typically build synthetic corpora by prompting an LLM to generate a hallucinated answer to pair with a factual one, then presenting both to a judge. We report a case in which this generation step silently failed, and use it to argue that the failure mode is structural rather than incidental. In a multilingual (Turkish/English) faithfulness-judgment corpus, a decoding-budget parameter shared between judging and generation calls truncated one producer's hallucinated answers to a few words. The resulting items produced a large, statistically robust effect: a 32-point cross-lingual collapse in one judge's selection accuracy, replicated from N=50 to N=500, explained by a three-layer mechanistic account, and confirmed by a controlled producer-swap experiment, none of which was real. The effect vanished to ceiling once the shared parameter was corrected, and only manual reading of the raw generations, not any aggregate statistical check, exposed the fault. A second measured bias (Markdown-formatting preference) was not fabricated but distorted by the same fault, its magnitude and in one case its sign shifting with stimulus length, a mode aggregate metrics cannot distinguish from the first. We frame the underlying vulnerability using the test oracle problem: corpora whose negative examples are LLM-generated carry no mechanical way to verify item integrity, while corpora built by deterministic perturbation of a gold answer carry an item-level oracle for free. A positive control supports this claim directly: an analogous fault injected into a minimal perturbation-based corpus is caught with 100% accuracy by a zero-cost, zero-human gold-to-negative string comparison. We close with a validation protocol, derived from our own case, for analysts working in the oracle-less regime that we argue describes most contemporary multilingual LLM-as-judge corpora.

对 LLM 作为评判者系统中偏见的研究通常通过提示 LLM 生成虚构答案与事实答案配对,从而构建合成语料库,然后将两者呈现给评判者。我们报告了一个生成步骤静默失败的案例,并利用该案例论证失败模式是结构性的而非偶然的。在一个多语言(土耳其语/英语)忠实性判断语料库中,评判和生成调用之间共享的解码预算参数将一个生成者的虚构答案截断为几个词。结果产生了一个显著且统计上稳健的效应:在一个评判者的选择准确性上出现了32点的跨语言崩溃,从 N=50 复制到 N=500,解释为一个三层机制的解释,并通过一个受控的生产者交换实验确认,所有这些都不是真实的。当共享参数被修正后,该效应消失至上限,只有手动阅读原始生成内容,而不是任何聚合统计检查,才揭示了这个缺陷。第二个测量的偏见(Markdown 格式偏好)并非伪造,但同样受到该缺陷的扭曲,其幅度和在某些情况下其符号随着刺激长度的变化而变化,这种模式的聚合指标无法与第一个区分开。我们使用测试 oracle 问题框架来描述潜在的脆弱性:那些负例由 LLM 生成的语料库没有机械方式来验证项目的完整性,而通过对黄金答案的确定性扰动构建的语料库则免费携带项目级的 oracle。一个正向对照直接支持这一主张:注入到最小扰动基础语料库中的类似缺陷以 100% 的准确率被零成本、零人力的黄金与负字符串比较捕获。我们最后提出了一种验证协议,基于我们自己的案例,供在无 oracle 领域工作的分析师使用,我们认为这描述了大多数当代多语言 LLM 作为评判者语料库的情况。

Self-supervised Speech Comparison for L2 Phone, Rhythm, and Intonation Scoring

自监督语音比较用于L2音位、节奏和语调评分
McIntosh, Stephen, Smit, Reuben, Saito, Daisuke, Minematsu, Nobuaki, Kamper, Herman
Abstract
L2 speech assessment has traditionally focused on phonetic assessment, leaving the scoring of suprasegmental features such as rhythm and intonation underexplored. Moreover, assessment methods often require training with labeled L2 speech data, making them difficult to apply in low-resource settings. We investigate whether DTW over self-supervised WavLM representations can provide a text-free framework for assessing phonetic accuracy, rhythm, and intonation in English and Japanese L2 speech. Results show that a basic DTW-based approach that compares learner speech to native templates exceeds human agreement on holistic and sentence-level phonetic scoring. For rhythm, we introduce methods that measure the degree of warping in the DTW alignment path; our best method approaches human-level performance. For intonation, we combine DTW distance over prosodic residuals with pitch and intensity features, but performance remains more modest on some tasks. Our results point to self-supervised representations as a promising, text-free basis for multi-aspect pronunciation assessment.

L2语音评估传统上侧重于音位评估,而对节奏和语调等超音段特征的评分则研究较少。此外,评估方法通常需要使用带标签的L2语音数据进行训练,这使得它们在资源匮乏的环境中难以应用。我们研究了基于自监督WavLM表示的动态时间规整(DTW)是否可以提供一种无文本框架,用于评估英语和日语L2语音的音位准确性、节奏和语调。结果表明,基本的DTW方法将学习者的语音与母语模板进行比较,其整体和句子级音位评分的结果超过了人类评估者的一致性。在节奏方面,我们引入了测量DTW对齐路径中扭曲程度的方法;我们最好的方法接近人类水平的表现。在语调方面,我们将基于韵律残差的DTW距离与音高和强度特征相结合,但在某些任务上的表现仍然较为温和。我们的结果表明,自监督表示作为多方面发音评估的有希望的无文本基础。

Post-Training Shifts Confidence: A Three-Stage Analysis of How SFT, RL, and OPD Shape Pre-, Intra-, and Post-CoT Calibration

后训练信心的转变:SFT、RL和OPD如何塑造链式思维生成前、中、后的三阶段分析
Li, Shuhao, Du, Guodong, Zhao, Anhao, Lin, Wanyu, Yuan, Tianyu, Shen, Xiaoyu
Abstract
Large language models have made strong reasoning gains through supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and on-policy distillation, yet these post-training methods are usually evaluated only by final-answer accuracy. We study how they reshape confidence during reasoning. We introduce a three-stage calibration framework that evaluates confidence before, during, and after chain-of-thought generation, corresponding to difficulty estimation, early termination, and answer aggregation. Through a controlled comparison on mathematical reasoning benchmarks, we find that OPD provides the most useful pre-reasoning confidence, SFT gives the strongest online signal for early stopping, and RL produces the most reliable trace-level signal for aggregation. We further show that confidence reliability is position-dependent: RL confidence becomes informative after a path-commitment phase, while OPD confidence is useful early but can become inversely calibrated later. Based on this observation, we propose PosConf, a position-aware confidence strategy that uses confidence only from reliable relative-position intervals. PosConf improves RL answer aggregation by 6.1 points over majority voting and consistently improves OPD early stopping under tight token budgets, with gains up to 4.3 points by avoiding its later inverse-calibration region, showing that \emph{confidence in reasoning models should be used both stage-wise and position-awarely}.

大型语言模型通过监督微调、强化学习和在线策略蒸馏在推理方面取得了显著进展,但这些后训练方法通常仅通过最终答案的准确性进行评估。我们研究了它们如何在推理过程中重塑信心。我们引入了一个三阶段的校准框架,评估在链式思维生成之前、期间和之后的信心,分别对应于难度估计、早期终止和答案聚合。通过对数学推理基准的控制比较,我们发现OPD提供了最有用的推理前信心,SFT为早期停止提供了最强的在线信号,而RL则产生了最可靠的逐步信号用于聚合。我们进一步表明,信心的可靠性依赖于位置:RL信心在路径承诺阶段后变得信息丰富,而OPD信心在早期有用,但在后期可能会变得反向校准。基于这一观察,我们提出了PosConf,一种位置感知的信心策略,仅使用来自可靠相对位置区间的信心。PosConf在多数投票基础上提高了RL答案聚合6.1个百分点,并在紧张的标记预算下持续改善OPD的早期停止,通过避免其后期反向校准区域,提升了最多4.3个百分点,表明“推理模型中的信心应同时在阶段上和位置上进行使用”。我们的代码可在 https://github.com/EIT-NLP/Post-Training-Calibration 获取。

SPyCE: Skill-Policy Co-evolution for Multimodal Agents

SPyCE:多模态智能体的技能-策略共同进化
Zhang, Ru, Qiu, Weijie
Abstract
Multimodal agents that think with images iteratively manipulate visual evidence and invoke tools across many steps. Existing reinforcement learning methods reduce trajectories to scalar rewards, forcing the policy to discover reusable tool-use patterns from scratch on every new task; memory-based alternatives retain past experience, yet they rely on test-time retrieval, without updating the policy to absorb reusable patterns from that experience. Our key insight is that multimodal reasoning trajectories should be distilled into reusable skills that co-evolve with the policy during training, rather than being consumed as rewards or retrieved from a static store. To this end, we propose SPyCE (Skill-Policy Co-evolution), a framework that distills trajectories into a hierarchical skill library and updates it throughout reinforcement learning. Execution skills capture local visual operations, while workflow skills encode high-level priors that orchestrate tool use. During training, the policy model conditions on retrieved skills to guide its rollouts, while the skill library evolves using valuable rollouts generated by the policy. This creates a closed loop in which improved policies yield better skills, and the evolving skill library, in turn, provides stronger priors for policy rollouts. Experiments across eight benchmarks demonstrate that SPyCE consistently outperforms both RL-based and memory-based baselines. Further analysis reveals that both the hierarchical skill design and the co-evolution mechanism are critical to our design. These results suggest joint skill-policy optimization as a promising paradigm for building capable multimodal agents.

多模态智能体通过图像进行思考,迭代地操控视觉证据并在多个步骤中调用工具。现有的强化学习方法将轨迹简化为标量奖励,迫使策略在每个新任务中从零开始发现可重用的工具使用模式;而基于记忆的替代方案则保留过去的经验,但它们依赖于测试时的检索,而不更新策略以吸收来自该经验的可重用模式。我们的关键见解是,多模态推理轨迹应被提炼为可重用的技能,这些技能在训练过程中与策略共同进化,而不是作为奖励被消耗或从静态存储中检索。为此,我们提出了SPyCE(技能-策略共同进化),一个将轨迹提炼为层次化技能库并在整个强化学习过程中更新的框架。执行技能捕捉局部视觉操作,而工作流技能编码高层先验,以协调工具使用。在训练过程中,策略模型依赖于检索的技能来指导其展开,而技能库则利用策略生成的有价值展开进行演化。这创造了一个闭环,其中改进的策略产生更好的技能,而不断发展的技能库又为策略展开提供更强的先验。跨越八个基准的实验表明,SPyCE始终优于基于强化学习和基于记忆的基线。进一步的分析表明,层次化技能设计和共同进化机制对我们的设计至关重要。这些结果表明,联合技能-策略优化是一种构建高效多模态智能体的有前景的范式。

High-Order Question Generation in a Multilingual Educational Context

多语言教育背景下的高阶问题生成
Uçar, Suna-Şeyma, Aldabe, Itziar, Aranberri, Nora, De Clercq, Orphée
Abstract
Critical thinking is a fundamental skill that helps learners move beyond simple memorization. One way to develop this skill is through high-order questioning. However, crafting such questions remains a challenge for educators, and classroom practices tend to rely on low-order questions. Large Language Models have demonstrated strong capabilities in generating high-order questions, especially when guided by prompts based on Bloom's Taxonomy. Yet, existing research has largely centered on this framework and focused only on English. This study addresses these gaps by introducing prompts grounded in two alternative frameworks: Claim-Evidence-Reasoning and Divergent Questioning within a multilingual context using Basque, Spanish, and English. Results indicate that while both an open-source and a proprietary model rather effectively generate questions in all three languages, only about half of the answerable questions are recognized by teachers as high-order. A positive finding is that the alternative frameworks produce structurally and conceptually varied questions, suggesting they could complement each other and provide viable alternatives to Bloom's Taxonomy.

批判性思维是一项基本技能,帮助学习者超越简单的记忆。发展这一技能的一种方法是通过高阶提问。然而,设计此类问题对教育工作者来说仍然是一个挑战,课堂实践往往依赖于低阶问题。大型语言模型在生成高阶问题方面表现出强大的能力,尤其是在基于布鲁姆分类法的提示指导下。然而,现有研究主要集中在这一框架上,并仅关注英语。本研究通过引入基于两种替代框架的提示来填补这些空白:主张-证据-推理(Claim-Evidence-Reasoning)和发散性提问(Divergent Questioning),并在使用巴斯克语、西班牙语和英语的多语言背景下进行。结果表明,尽管开源模型和专有模型在所有三种语言中都能相对有效地生成问题,但只有大约一半的可回答问题被教师认定为高阶问题。一个积极的发现是,这些替代框架产生了结构和概念上各异的问题,表明它们可以相辅相成,并为布鲁姆分类法提供可行的替代方案。

DeepStress: Stress-Testing Deep Search Agents

DeepStress:深度搜索代理的压力测试
Rousseau, Ismael, Damnati, Geraldine, Bechet, Frederic
Abstract
While search agents demonstrate impressive capabilities in multi-step question answering, their robustness to poor-quality evidence remains under-explored. This phenomenon occurs rarely in realistic benchmarks but can lead to dramatic failure in real life applications. Therefore in this study we propose DeepStress, a stress testing framework that controls the frequency of challenging evidence by replacing the retrieval module of search agents with a controlled synthetic environment. We use this framework to control three dimensions that can affect document reliability: trustworthiness, relevance, and factuality. Testing several search agents on HotpotQA and BrowseCompPlus, we demonstrate that agents exhibit substantial differences in their ability to handle unreliable information and propose new metrics that better document systems outcomes as well as the interactions between conflicting parametric and retrieved knowledge.

DeltaMerge-LowRes: Composing Language and Task Deltas for Low-Resource Adaptation

DeltaMerge-LowRes:为低资源适应组合语言和任务增量
Xuan, Son Ha, Le, Xuan-Bach, Tran-Truong, Phat T.
Abstract
Adapting a multilingual encoder to a new language \emph{and} a new task with only a few hundred gold examples is a common low-resource NLP setting, yet the two axes are usually fused via an expensive language--task fine-tuning run. We ask whether they can instead be trained separately and recombined in weight space. \DeltaMergeLowRes{} learns a language delta $\Delta_L$ from unlabeled monolingual text and a task delta $\Delta_T$ from labeled English data, then composes them at inference under one of four rules: additive, activation-guided, sparsity-aware, and a novel \emph{cross-axis TIES}. The new rule adapts the TIES-Merging steps of trimming, sign election, and merging to the language and task axes rather than to two task axes. Holding $(\Delta_L,\Delta_T)$ fixed across rules on four task families and four African languages ($158$ evaluated cells, $10{,}000$-sample paired bootstrap per cell), we find: (i) cross-axis TIES wins summarisation on $3/4$ languages by $+4$ to $+7$ chrF (chrF $18.59$ vs.\ $13.80$ task-only); (ii) it improves QA F1 by $+2.32$ and EM by $+2.91$; and (iii) sparsity-aware merging cuts classification ECE by $36\%$ at parity macro-F1. The composition rule materially changes what the merged model preserves, suppresses, and calibrates. We release all JSON traces and a claim ledger.

Constraint-Aware Counterfactual Editing for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis

面向约束的反事实编辑用于基于方面的情感分析
Rafiuddin, S M, Pavuluri, Vamsi Krishna, Sen, Atriya
Abstract
Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) requires models to identify sentiment toward specific aspects rather than relying on the global polarity of a sentence. This makes counterfactual evaluation especially challenging: a valid counterfactual should flip the sentiment of one target aspect while preserving the sentiment of all non-target aspects, semantic meaning, fluency, and factual consistency. Existing counterfactual generation methods often focus on sentence-level label flipping and may produce edits that are fluent but aspect-invalid, semantically drifting, or contradictory. To address this limitation, we propose CAVE-ABSA, a Constraint-Aware Validated Editing framework for generating and validating aspect-level counterfactuals. CAVE-ABSA localizes the opinion span associated with the target aspect, performs controlled counterfactual rewriting, refines candidates through a repair module, and filters them using aspect-level verification, semantic similarity, AMR-guided structural preservation, edit minimality, fluency, and contradiction detection. The framework is designed to construct validated counterfactual ABSA datasets for robustness evaluation and data augmentation. By explicitly separating generation from validation, CAVE-ABSA provides a principled approach for producing meaningful aspect-local counterfactuals and for testing whether ABSA models truly rely on aspect-grounded sentiment reasoning.

基于方面的情感分析(ABSA)要求模型识别特定方面的情感,而不是依赖句子的整体极性。这使得反事实评估尤其具有挑战性:有效的反事实应当翻转一个目标方面的情感,同时保持所有非目标方面的情感、语义意义、流畅性和事实一致性。现有的反事实生成方法通常侧重于句子级标签翻转,可能会产生流畅但方面无效、语义漂移或矛盾的编辑。为了解决这一局限性,我们提出了CAVE-ABSA,一个面向约束的验证编辑框架,用于生成和验证方面级反事实。CAVE-ABSA定位与目标方面相关的意见范围,执行受控的反事实重写,通过修复模块细化候选项,并使用方面级验证、语义相似性、AMR引导的结构保持、编辑最小化、流畅性和矛盾检测进行过滤。该框架旨在构建经过验证的反事实ABSA数据集,以进行鲁棒性评估和数据增强。通过明确将生成与验证分开,CAVE-ABSA提供了一种原则性的方法,用于生成有意义的方面局部反事实,并测试ABSA模型是否真正依赖于基于方面的情感推理。

Can an Old Dog Be Taught New Tricks? Taking LLMs Beyond Sentence Level Translation

老狗能学新把戏吗?将大型语言模型推向超越句子级翻译的领域
Brandt, Alaina
Abstract
Automatic translation systems, from CAT tools to MT, overwhelmingly treat translation as a sentence-by-sentence act. This paper asks whether LLMs can be moved beyond that paradigm through whole-document, corpus-informed translation. We present PAT (Pragmatic Auto-Translator), a RAG-based system that pairs user-configured specifications with context from a comparable corpus of authentic longform texts in U.S. English and Latin American Spanish, passing retrieved paragraph-, section-, and document-level examples to an LLM for whole-document generation. The goal is draft translation for professional verification: target texts reformulated to fit their Spanish-language context, where discourse organization, rhetorical style, and pragmatic norms differ meaningfully from English. We evaluated six automatic translations of essays on generative AI across three projects using a customized MQM typology, assessed by two trained evaluators working from U.S. English into LATAM and Mexican Spanish. Results show that a limited prompt produced no meaningful reformulation, and specifications and corpus-informed translations at times showed substantial reformulation, though not always to effect. We find that LLMs can be moved toward reformulation and away from the sentence-by-sentence paradigm, though more work is needed to improve the effectiveness of those reformulations. In this paper, we discuss considerations related to automatic translation system design, corpus construction, and translation quality evaluation methodology and results.

自动翻译系统,从计算机辅助翻译工具到机器翻译,主要将翻译视为逐句进行的行为。本文探讨是否可以通过整篇文档和基于语料库的翻译,将大型语言模型(LLMs)推向这一范式之外。我们提出了PAT(Pragmatic Auto-Translator),一个基于检索增强生成(RAG)的系统,它将用户配置的规格与来自美国英语和拉丁美洲西班牙语的真实长文本的可比语料库中的上下文相结合,将检索到的段落、章节和文档级示例传递给LLM以进行整篇文档生成。目标是为专业验证提供草稿翻译:将目标文本重新表述以适应其西班牙语语境,其中话语组织、修辞风格和语用规范与英语有显著不同。我们使用定制的MQM类型学评估了三项项目中关于生成性人工智能的六个自动翻译的论文,由两名受过培训的评估人员从美国英语翻译成拉美和墨西哥西班牙语。结果表明,有限的提示未能产生有意义的重新表述,而规格和基于语料库的翻译在某些情况下显示出实质性的重新表述,尽管并不总是有效。我们发现,LLMs可以朝着重新表述的方向发展,摆脱逐句翻译的范式,尽管仍需更多工作来提高这些重新表述的有效性。本文讨论了与自动翻译系统设计、语料库构建以及翻译质量评估方法和结果相关的考虑因素。

Hindcast: Replaying Prediction Markets to Evaluate LLM Forecasters

回溯预测:重放预测市场以评估大型语言模型预报员
Ye, Xiao, Dineen, Jacob, Zhu, Evan, Lu, Shijie, Song, Kevin, Zhou, Ben
Abstract
Forecasters are evaluated by backtesting, which replays resolved questions and grades the probability the system would have assigned before the outcome was known. For LLMs, two channels leak the answer into this test. A model that retrieves can surface reports written after the event, turning forecasting into a lookup, and each new model is trained on data closer to the event, so a question that lay in the future for last year's models sits inside this year's training data. Either way, the test grades recall while claiming to grade foresight. We introduce Hindcast, which closes both leaks by grading a model as if it stood at a chosen past date $t_0$, before the outcome existed in either channel. Hindcast replays resolved Polymarket prediction markets against a frozen snapshot of public Reddit, lets the model read only posts written before $t_0$, and scores each forecast against both what happened and the market's own price at $t_0$, itself a human forecast made from the same past information. Because the cutoff is set per market and the snapshot never changes, the evaluation re-runs on new markets as models improve, without going stale. Once the leak is closed, retrieval still helps most models, but only where Reddit discussed the event beforehand. Where the archive carried only speculation, retrieval hurts.

预报员的评估通过回测进行,该过程重放已解决的问题,并评估系统在结果已知之前所分配的概率。对于大型语言模型(LLMs),有两个渠道将答案泄露到这一测试中。一个能够检索的模型可能会调取事件发生后撰写的报告,将预测转变为查找,而每个新模型的训练数据都更接近事件,因此去年的模型所面临的未来问题在今年的训练数据中已经存在。无论如何,这一测试评估的是回忆能力,而声称评估的是前瞻性。我们引入了回溯预测(Hindcast),通过将模型评估为在某个选定的过去日期 $t_0$ 的状态,从而关闭了这两个泄露渠道,在此之前结果在任何渠道中都不存在。回溯预测重放已解决的 Polymarket 预测市场,并与公共 Reddit 的静态快照进行对比,让模型仅能读取 $t_0$ 之前撰写的帖子,并根据实际发生的情况和 $t_0$ 时市场自身的价格对每个预测进行评分,后者本身也是基于相同过去信息的人工预测。由于截止点是针对每个市场设定的,且快照从未改变,因此随着模型的改进,评估可以在新市场上重新进行,而不会过时。一旦泄露被关闭,检索仍然对大多数模型有帮助,但仅在 Reddit 事先讨论了该事件的情况下。如果档案中仅包含猜测,检索则会产生负面影响。
