Passive-Dynamic-Walking-Inspired Dynamics Guidance for Energy-Efficient Humanoid Locomotion
基于被动动态行走的动力学引导用于节能类人步态
Abstract
Learning energy-efficient humanoid locomotion requires discovering mechanically economical gait coordination, not merely reducing actuator effort. Reinforcement learning promotes efficiency through effort-related reward penalties, which guide the step-to-step mechanics of walking only indirectly. This article proposes a framework inspired by passive dynamic walking (PDW) that temporarily creates slope-equivalent conditions favorable to economical gait discovery and removes all PDW-specific guidance before nominal-dynamics optimization. During early training, a tilted-gravity field assists sagittal progression on flat collision geometry, complemented by curriculum-coupled reward terms. The core framework requires no reference trajectories, gait phases, or contact schedules. In a five-seed forward-locomotion study on a 29-DoF Unitree G1, the framework reduces mechanical cost of transport by 6.8-15.2% over commanded speeds of 0.5-2.0m/s without degrading velocity tracking. Mechanical-work decomposition attributes the reduction to positive actuator work, and reward-matched comparisons separate the guided regime's faster gait acquisition from the tilt's additional benefit to converged economy. The framework extends to unassisted omnidirectional locomotion, where its benefit persists once a walking-specific motion prior supplies kinematic coordination, the combination reducing speed-matched cost of transport by 18.7%. On hardware, forward cost of transport falls by 16.3% with the motion prior and by 4.5% without it, the latter within the trial-to-trial spread.

学习节能的类人步态需要发现机械经济的步态协调，而不仅仅是减少驱动器的努力。强化学习通过与努力相关的奖励惩罚促进效率，这仅间接引导步态的逐步机械过程。本文提出了一种基于被动动态行走（PDW）启发的框架，该框架暂时创造出有利于经济步态发现的坡度等效条件，并在名义动力学优化之前去除所有PDW特定的引导。在早期训练中，倾斜的重力场辅助在平坦的碰撞几何上进行矢状面推进，并辅以课程关联的奖励项。该核心框架不需要参考轨迹、步态阶段或接触时间表。在对29自由度Unitree G1进行的五个种子的前向运动研究中，该框架在0.5-2.0 m/s的指令速度下将机械运输成本降低了6.8-15.2%，而不降低速度跟踪。机械功分解将减少归因于正的驱动器功，并且奖励匹配比较将引导状态下更快的步态获取与倾斜对收敛经济的额外好处分开。该框架扩展到无辅助的全向运动，一旦步态特定的运动先验提供运动学协调，其好处仍然存在，组合后将速度匹配的运输成本降低了18.7%。在硬件上，前向运输成本在有运动先验的情况下下降了16.3%，而在没有运动先验的情况下下降了4.5%，后者在试验间的波动范围内。

Abstract
General-purpose robots must infer what a new task requires and translate that understanding into appropriate physical action. In-context learning (ICL) for robots supports this process by using demonstrations and interaction to direct existing competence with neural parameters held fixed during deployment. We organize this literature review around the interfaces connecting contextual evidence to execution, distinguishing four families: context-conditioned policies, geometric demonstration transfer, world-model-based control, and skill- and agent-based execution. Comparing these interfaces clarifies their transfer assumptions and the roles of training, correspondence, and memory in making context useful. Across manipulation and navigation, we examine how these mechanisms preserve taught requirements as objects, environments, and execution conditions change. This analysis links method design to evaluation practices that distinguish responsiveness to teaching, physical transfer, and benefits from retained experience. The resulting agenda connects compositional task acquisition and faithful transfer with physical recursive self-improvement, in which experience improves the ability to learn subsequent tasks.

SAKI: Skill Assembly and Kinematic Imitation from Human Videos for Long-Horizon Mobile Manipulation
SAKI：从人类视频中学习技能组装与运动模仿以实现长时间移动操作
Abstract
Learning from human videos offers a promising route to acquiring diverse manipulation skills. Extending this capability beyond tabletop settings to long-horizon mobile manipulation requires adapting and composing demonstrated interactions across changing scenes and robot configurations. We present Skill Assembly and Kinematic Imitation (SAKI), a framework connecting human-video skill acquisition, cross-demonstration assembly and closed-loop whole-body execution. SAKI prepares reusable object-centric skills that preserve task-critical interactions while allowing transfer paths to adapt. Given a goal and supplied task dependencies, it selects and orders skills, binds their object roles to the current scene, and carries scene estimates and robot configuration between successive skills. Whole-body kinematic imitation generates coordinated base, arm and gripper motion. During execution, persistent object estimates maintain task references across viewpoint changes, while visual feedback updates remaining trajectories. Real-robot experiments demonstrate skill reuse across layouts and the composition of independently demonstrated interactions into continuous mobile tasks, including tidying and wiping. Ablation results show that task-conditioned reference preparation substantially improves long-horizon task completion with whole-body optimisation and visual feedback held fixed.

MagNav: A Dual-Core Magnetic Track Guidance Framework for Lighting-Invariant Navigation in Two-Wheeled Robots
MagNav：一种双核磁轨道引导框架，用于两轮机器人在光照不变条件下的导航
Abstract
Two-Wheeled Inverted Pendulum (TWIP) robots are useful for studying how to control systems that are naturally unstable and have fewer actuators than degrees of freedom. Adding autonomous line-following to these robots is challenging because steering and balancing are closely linked. Most existing systems use infrared sensors, which can be affected by changes in lighting, such as sunlight or shadows, making them reliable only indoors. This paper presents a self-balancing robot that can follow a line using a magnetic track guidance system. By using a five-channel analog Hall-effect sensor array, the robot is not affected by optical interference. The control system uses a cascaded PID structure: the inner loop keeps the robot balanced using data from an inertial measurement unit with a complementary filter, while the outer loop adjusts steering based on the magnetic sensor readings. Stepper motors provide precise torque control without needing extra rotary encoders. For comparison, an optical sensor module was also included. Tests show that the magnetic guidance system keeps accurate tracking even in very bright lighting, over 10,000 Lux, while the optical system loses accuracy and sometimes fails. This design provides a reliable, lighting-independent solution for autonomous navigation in places like factories, warehouses, and outdoor paths.

Scouting the Dynamics Gap: Test-Time Policy Adaptation via Action-Outcome Feedback
探索动态差距：通过动作-结果反馈进行测试时策略适应
Abstract
While pretrained robotic policies exhibit impressive capabilities in controlled environments, unobserved physical properties and dynamics require these policies to rapidly adapt during deployment. Existing test-time adaptation methods typically rely on sparse scalar rewards, failing to exploit the rich geometric and dynamic feedback from the environment during physical interaction. To address this challenge, we propose SCOUT, a dynamics-aware meta-learning framework that enables manipulation policies to rapidly adapt by continuously revising their internal beliefs about environment dynamics. Our approach couples an action-prediction policy with a forward dynamics model via a shared belief latent space. During meta-training, an inner loop updates this shared belief latent by minimizing the dynamics prediction error against the observed action outcome, while the outer loop optimizes the network for action selection. At deployment, this structure allows the agent to infer and adapt to unknown physical dynamics on the fly. By updating its latent belief based on action-outcome mismatches, the policy automatically adapts without risking catastrophic forgetting. We demonstrate that SCOUT significantly accelerates online adaptation across simulated manipulation benchmarks and achieves robust sim-to-real transfer in the real world.

KPI: A Promptable Kernel for Physical Interaction on Humanoids
KPI：用于类人机器人物理交互的可提示内核
Abstract
Humanoids now walk, balance and reach with remarkable generality: one whole-body tracking policy follows references from a human, or from an end-to-end policy. That generality travels in the trajectory, and a trajectory alone carries limited information about the interaction it should produce: at contact, the executing controller determines how the robot behaves. Single-task policies usually reach hard interactions by optimising trajectory and controller together in simulation; general stacks usually assume a preset or hand-chosen controller. We present KPI, a promptable kernel for physical interaction between the trajectory source and an unmodified whole-body tracker. Instead of a controller fixed before the task, the trajectory source sends a contract: per direction, track, comply, or hold a force range. From tracking error and a wrench estimate, the kernel adapts the arms' stiffness, damping, reference and feedforward toward it at contact rate. We demonstrate KPI through an agentic framework: from one instruction, a vision-language agent writes both the reference trajectory and the contract, with no task-specific code. We demonstrate instruction-driven winch operation, door opening, and box transport, alongside scripted surface-interaction experiments. In the winch demonstration, the humanoid is able to turn a crank to hoist a second robot fully off the ground.

SkillWeaver: Agentic Exploration over Neural Interaction Skills for Scalable Robot Data Generation
SkillWeaver：基于神经交互技能的自主探索框架用于可扩展机器人数据生成
Abstract
Large-scale demonstrations have driven unprecedented progress in robot learning, yet collecting robot data through teleoperation is expensive and difficult to scale to diverse environments and long-horizon tasks. Simulation offers a scalable alternative, but existing data-generation pipelines often rely on open-loop controllers, scripted skill sequences, or task-specific programs. We introduce SkillWeaver, an agentic framework that autonomously generates robot experience by exploring over Neural Interaction Skills (NIS): reusable, parameterized, closed-loop policies that expose learned physical interaction capabilities to a reasoning agent. Given a task and a simulated environment, a VLM agent reasons about what to do next, invokes and parameterizes NIS to interact with the environment, observes their outcomes, and generates verification, reflection, and memory to guide subsequent exploration. We instantiate NIS as reinforcement-learned policies for closed-loop, contact-rich manipulation and organize exploration as verifier-guided tree search, enabling the agent to discover successful long-horizon behaviors without relying on predetermined execution pipelines. SkillWeaver scales autonomously to 39.1K demonstrations across 14.1K scenes, which we distill into visuomotor policies. Across simulation benchmarks and real-world manipulation, training on SkillWeaver-generated experience substantially improves generalization to novel objects, spatial configurations, tasks, and environments, and enables zero- and few-shot sim-to-sim and sim-to-real transfer. Our results suggest agentic exploration over neural interaction skills as a scalable alternative for robot data generation.

Test-Time Adaptation of Manipulation Policies Under Actuator Degradation
在执行器退化下的操作策略测试时适应
Abstract
Robot manipulation policies are usually trained under the assumption that a commanded action produces the same motion as it did during training even after hours of operation. Real hardware violates this assumption as the motors gradually heat up, current saturates near contact, voltage sags under load, thus the same policy action can produce a weaker, delayed, or noisier motion. These conditions are already measured by onboard telemetry, such as joint temperature, motor current, and supply voltage, yet this signal is typically used only for logging or safety checks rather than policy adaptation. We introduce Telemetry-Aware Action Rectification (TeAR), a policy-agnostic method that turns a frozen manipulation policy into a telemetry-conditioned policy by rectifying its outgoing action before it reaches the low-level controller. TeAR learns a lightweight Transformer that combines the proposed action with live actuator telemetry and amplifies, damps, or biases individual action components. We evaluate TeAR across 18 policy-task pairs spanning 8 policy families and 5 manipulation tasks. In an additional paired evaluation with degradation-model mismatch, TeAR achieves 31.8% success, compared with 25.6% for the base policy and 30.6% for an assumed-model inverse. On a physical arm, TeAR improves success under heating by 10-15% without on-robot fine-tuning.

机器人操作策略通常是在假设指令动作在经过数小时的操作后仍能产生与训练时相同的运动的前提下进行训练的。然而，真实硬件违反了这一假设，因为电机逐渐升温，电流在接触时饱和，负载下电压下降，因此相同的策略动作可能会产生更弱、延迟或噪声更大的运动。这些条件已经通过机载遥测进行测量，例如关节温度、电机电流和供电电压，但这些信号通常仅用于记录或安全检查，而不是策略适应。我们提出了遥测感知动作修正（Telemetry-Aware Action Rectification, TeAR），这是一种与策略无关的方法，通过在动作到达低级控制器之前修正其输出动作，将一个固定的操作策略转变为一个基于遥测的策略。TeAR学习了一个轻量级的Transformer，它将提出的动作与实时的执行器遥测相结合，并放大、减弱或偏置各个动作组件。我们在涵盖8个策略家族和5个操作任务的18个策略-任务对上评估了TeAR。在与退化模型不匹配的额外配对评估中，TeAR的成功率为31.8%，而基础策略为25.6%，假设模型的逆策略为30.6%。在物理手臂上，TeAR在加热情况下的成功率提高了10-15%，而无需在机器人上进行微调。

Design and Validation of an Antagonistic Tendon-Driven Dexterous Robotic Hand with Bidirectional Operation
双向操作的对抗性腱驱动灵巧机器人手的设计与验证
Abstract
Dexterous robotic hands typically reproduce human hand morphology but inherit its one-sided grasping workspace, requiring wrist or arm reorientation to grasp from the opposite side. Existing reversible hands generally rely on non-anthropomorphic, soft, or task-specific finger arrangements, whereas conventional five-digit anthropomorphic hands remain designed primarily for palmar-side grasping. This paper presents an anthropomorphic, human-scale (200 mm length), lightweight (220 g), 3D-printed, 17-DoF robotic hand built on a bidirectional antagonistic tendon-routing mechanism, in which flexion/extension (except the coupled joint) and abduction/adduction at joints are actively driven without passive return springs. The proposed routing mechanism allows all degrees of freedom to cross their neutral configuration and form grasp closures on either the palmar or dorsal side. Experimental evaluation demonstrates an average motor-to-joint transmission error of 3.0%, an average joint transmission bandwidth of 13.2 Hz, a maximum fingertip force of 29 N, and a positioning repeatability up to 0.15 mm. The hand further achieves a Kapandji score of 8, successfully performs all 33 GRASP Taxonomy grasp types, and performs palmar- and dorsal-side grasping tasks, validating bidirectional operation in a compact, human-scale platform.

Bilinear World Models: Learning Representations with Structured Dynamics for Efficient Control
双线性世界模型：通过结构化动态学习表示以实现高效控制
Abstract
World models jointly learn latent representations and dynamics that predict how high-dimensional observations evolve under actions. In this work, we propose a JEPA-style world model in which, rather than learning arbitrary latent dynamics, we restrict them to follow a bilinear parameterization. This structure enables efficient planning and control while shifting the modeling burden onto the encoder, encouraging richer representations that expose the controllable geometry of the system. In particular, this structured parameterization allows us to structurally enforce action recoverability, thereby preventing representation collapse by construction. Although prescribing a bilinear parametrization may appear restrictive, we show that a broad class of nonlinear dynamical systems admits a transformation under which the dynamics become bilinear. Empirically, we show across standard 2D and 3D control tasks that representations with bilinear-parameterized dynamics can be learned directly from high-dimensional observations, reducing planning time by nearly three orders of magnitude while retaining or even improving control accuracy. We also propose more demanding regimes of longer-horizon planning and real-time control, and demonstrate that our method succeeds in both, moving JEPA-style world models beyond short-horizon offline planning.

ATLAS: Aligned Transport of Latent Structure for Reliable World Model Planning
ATLAS：用于可靠世界模型规划的潜在结构对齐传输
Abstract
Latent world models rely on representation geometry for planning, yet regularizing the latent marginal alone does not determine the state-to-state relationships used for action selection. We show that this can cause planning-relevant novelty structure to be weakened as representations are transformed into the final latent used by the planner. We introduce Aligned Transport of Latent Structure (ATLAS), a training objective that explicitly preserves relational geometry while calibrating the global latent distribution. ATLAS transfers normalized pairwise structure from an informative encoder representation to the planning latent and uses Wasserstein embedding matching (WEMReg) to calibrate its marginal through one-dimensional Wasserstein-2 transport. Our analysis shows that relational preservation and marginal calibration impose non-redundant constraints, and connects finite-candidate planning stability to relational distortion, latent-scale mismatch, and prediction error. Instantiated in LeWM, ATLAS improves mean goal-reaching success across PushT, TwoRoom, and OGBench-Cube on both lower- and higher-novelty evaluation subsets, with the largest gain on higher-novelty TwoRoom episodes. Representation and rollout diagnostics further show stronger novelty-related structure in the planning latent, improved marginal calibration, and lower multi-step prediction error. Together, these results highlight preservation of planning-relevant latent geometry as an important ingredient for reliable world-model planning.

DORA: Divergence-Oriented Data-Relay Algorithm for Partially Connected Robot Teams
DORA：面向差异的数据中继算法用于部分连接的机器人团队
Abstract
Teams of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployed for search and monitoring missions frequently operate as partially connected networks, forcing each robot to trade off exploring the environment against relaying information to teammates. This tradeoff is especially acute when robots are semantically heterogeneous: an observation that appears uninformative to the robot that made it may be critical to a teammate with complementary detection capabilities. In this work, we formalize this setting as the heterogeneous mission-aware coverage (HMAC) problem, which couples complete multi-robot coverage of an area with capability-constrained mission-relevant target (MRT) discovery under intermittent communication. We then present DORA, a divergence-oriented data-relay algorithm that drives communication by the value of information to the team rather than by discovery alone. DORA quantifies the mission-relevant divergence between a robot's current information state and its estimate of each teammate's knowledge, capturing mission relevance, discovery novelty, sensor uncertainty, and the age of information. We evaluate DORA in simulation across four environments with differing object densities and spatial structure, and validate it on a physical UAV platform. Our results show that DORA improves MRT resolution delay by up to 74.8% over traditional time-based communication scheduling methods.

One from Infinity: Actualizing Futures from Pretrained World Models into Robot Actions
从无限中选一：将预训练世界模型实际化为机器人动作
Abstract
A pretrained video world model admits many plausible futures for a scene, but a robot must realize the exact task-conditioned one. To turn world models into executable robot policies, existing methods fine-tune the heavy world model backbone using large-scale robot data and computational resources. Challenging this status quo, we argue that the expensive part has already been paid in the world model pretraining since the representation space of a video world model lays out the diverse potential futures. In this case, what remains is to select the future that accomplishes the task and to read out the actions that realize it. We formalize this task as actualization, which learns a task-conditioned selection and realization on top of a prior supplied by a frozen world model. This can be solved by a tiny actualizer model. We implement RoboActualizer with as few as 60M parameters on top of a frozen world model encoder. The actualizer is composed of two lightweight DiT experts that jointly predict future latents and actions by flow matching. The model can be trained entirely on a single GPU with 32 GB peak memory. With up to 100x fewer trainable parameters than existing WAMs and VLAs, RoboActualizer reaches great performance on simulation benchmarks including LIBERO, LIBERO-Plus, RoboTwin 2.0 and five tasks on two real-world platforms, with a low latency of 39 ms that allows real-time control.

FineART: Fine-grained Annotated Robotic Trajectory Dataset and Vision-Language-Action Model for Bimanual Manipulation
FineART：细粒度注释的双手操作轨迹数据集及视觉-语言-动作模型
Abstract
Robots operating in real-world environments must execute complex, multi-step bimanual tasks over long horizons rather than single, isolated actions. Current manipulation datasets struggle to support this capability: although single-arm datasets reach hundreds of thousands of trajectories, they typically provide only one high-level instruction per episode while the rare bimanual effort that does label subtasks annotates only a fraction of its hours. We present FineART, a densely annotated bimanual manipulation dataset of 40,543 episodes, 1,718 hours, and 533,913 subtasks across 151 tasks. We also introduce FineART-VLA, a vision-language-action policy that predicts its own next subtask, and show that mid-training it this way yields substantial gains. Specifically, success on a spatial disambiguation task increases from 32.0% to 100.0%, and step-by-step human subtask guidance lifts success on an unseen long-horizon task from 16.0% to 76.0%. Furthermore, after minimal fine-tuning on a new robot, the policy requires one-tenth the data of baselines without mid-training and generalizes zero-shot to completely unseen tasks on the new hardware. We open-source the full dataset, model weights, and training code.

Losing the name before the box: measuring and repairing what narrow fine-tuning costs a detector outside its deployment vocabulary
在盒子之前失去名称：测量和修复狭窄微调对检测器在其部署词汇外的成本
Abstract
A detector pretrained on a broad corpus is fine-tuned on a narrow domain, its in-domain accuracy improves, and it ships. We ask what happens meanwhile to its coverage of objects the vocabulary never names, which in obstacle detection and inspection carry the risk. No in-domain test set holds an example of one. We give a longitudinal protocol: one pretrained checkpoint against its own fine-tuned descendants. It tracks held-out top-$K$ proposal coverage $C_\tau$: of categories pretraining covered and the vocabulary omits, the share of boxes a detector's top $K$ regions still cover. The quantity is the open-world proposal literature's; the longitudinal reading is not. $C_\tau$ falls while in-domain accuracy rises, on four architectures and three domains, by $5.12$ to $63.35$ points on boxes above $1024$ px$^2$. No in-domain number identifies the fall, and neither does detection average precision, which charges a missed and a misnamed box alike. On the one architecture scoring both, adaptation costs $87\%$ of the AP against a fifth of the coverage, and the naming goes first at all six depths of its freeze ladder, every run. What breaks is structured: three architectures sharing no pretraining run agree on which categories lose coverage, and those a model never learned do not lose any. A repair follows and needs no training: mixing a quarter of the pretrained state back, normalisation statistics included, raises coverage on every cell swept for at most $2.47$ points of in-domain accuracy. Seeing it costs one extra evaluation pass.

World4Scorer: Outcome-Grounded World Modeling for Autonomous Driving
World4Scorer：基于结果的自主驾驶世界建模
Abstract
Autonomous driving requires choosing a safe and efficient plan as surrounding traffic evolves. Generate-and-select planners propose multiple trajectories and score them for execution, and they have outperformed representative direct-prediction baselines on NAVSIM. Their scorer must compare plans that were never executed. Driving logs record the future of only the executed trajectory, so matching the logged future can leave predictions for the alternatives unconstrained; a simulator, in contrast, can label the outcome of every candidate. We introduce World4Scorer, which builds the scorer as a trajectory-conditioned JEPA-style predictor: it predicts a state for each candidate and reads the candidate's scores from that state. Simulator outcome labels supervise the states of all candidates, and the observed future of the executed trajectory anchors the predictor to real scene evolution. Because one predictor produces every candidate's state, the anchor can constrain shared parameters used to score unexecuted plans, while the future itself is needed only during training. Generated candidates mostly score well, so a scene-matched bank adds low-scoring plans to the outcome supervision; framewise choices can conflict, so inertial re-ranking keeps consecutive selections consistent. World4Scorer achieves state-of-the-art NAVSIM-v2 performance and a strong adapted-system result on closed-loop Bench2Drive. With the LeWM world model and planning budget fixed, outcome-based scoring also improves manipulation planning on the OGBench-Cube benchmark.

Staircase Policy: Streaming Inference for World-Action Models with Large Action Chunks
阶梯策略：针对大动作块的世界-动作模型的流式推理
Abstract
World-Action Models (WAMs) improve robotic manipulation by conditioning action generation on predicted future observations, but future prediction adds further inference overhead to already expensive iterative action generation. Action chunking can amortize this cost over multiple actions, yet performance degrades over long execution horizons because later actions remain conditioned on stale observations. We introduce STAIRCASE POLICY, a streaming inference and training framework that turns a flow-matching VLA into a JEPA-style WAM and partitions a large action chunk into sub-chunks at staggered denoising stages. Near-term actions are executed as soon as they become available, while later actions continue to be refined. At each sub-chunk boundary, the future latent is re-predicted from the latest observation and used to update all unexecuted actions, enabling long-horizon execution without repeated full policy inference. The resulting future-prediction error can further serve as a signal for adaptive chunking. S-WAM achieves 97.7% on LIBERO and 87.9% on LIBERO-Plus, and improves performance across multiple policy backbones and real-robot tasks. It reaches 292.7 executed actions per second, $3.62\times$ the throughput of conventional execution at comparable accuracy, while reducing time-to-first-action from 123.6 to 73.3 ms. With additional inference optimizations, throughput further increases to 642.9 actions per second.

DQ-MPCC: Dual-Quaternion MPCC for Quadrotor Racing
DQ-MPCC：用于四旋翼赛车的双四元数模型预测轮廓控制
Abstract
Quadrotor racing demands aggressive attitude and progress control while passing through every gate, and conventional quadrotor MPCC formulations state the prediction model in inertial coordinates and the attitude error in the body frame. We present a Dual-Quaternion Model Predictive Contouring Control (DQ-MPCC) for quadrotor racing in which the pose is a unit dual quaternion and the contouring errors are projected onto the tangent space of the dual quaternion manifold, expressed in the desired body frame: the same rigid-body dynamics as the conventional model, in unified pose-twist coordinates in the body frame. We compare DQ-MPCC against a baseline MPCC through Monte Carlo software-in-the-loop simulations and real-world racing on an eight-gate circuit of 11x4.5x3.65 m. With the same gains in simulation and hardware, DQ-MPCC keeps every crossing of its completed flights within the prescribed geometric margin, whereas the baseline exceeds it, its median worst-gate offset growing by 71.5% sim-to-real against a 10.1% decrease for DQ-MPCC. Among the configurations that keep every simulated gate crossing within the geometric margin, DQ-MPCC also reduces the minimum lap time by 6.7%, and by 10.5% in the real-world flights, while running onboard at 100 Hz.

Closed-Form Cartesian Forward Kinetostatics for Spatial Multi-Segment Tendon-Driven Continuum Robots
空间多段腱驱动连续机器人闭式笛卡尔前运动静力学
Abstract
Forward kinetostatics of spatial tendon-driven continuum robots typically requires a nonlinear equilibrium solve for each actuation input. This paper develops a force-to-Cartesian-configuration model with a closed-form solution in quadratures for spatial multi-segment robots under tendon actuation. The Cartesian backbone centerline and accumulated material twist serve as generalized coordinates, from which the strain measures and tendon geometry are derived. Variational equilibrium yields explicit axial and bending relations and establishes zero equilibrium material twist within the proposed model for admissible longitudinal non-helical routing. The solution is propagated segment by segment without an iterative equilibrium solve, while retaining axial deformation, spatially varying axial and bending stiffnesses and tendon-routing diameter, and segment-dependent tendon participation. Numerical comparisons with a full-strain geometric variable-strain model (GVS) yield maximum length-normalized tip-position discrepancies of 8.91 x 10^-6 and 1.01 x 10^-5 for the single- and three-segment robots, respectively. Mean evaluation times of 1.52 {\mu}s and 2.94 {\mu}s, with corresponding speedups of approximately 1864x and 3348x over the baseline, demonstrate the computational advantage of the explicit force-to-configuration mapping in the reported benchmark.

LIBERO-MAX: Do Robot Policies Adapt When the World Changes?
LIBERO-MAX：当世界发生变化时，机器人策略是否会适应？
Abstract
Robots must often continue a task after a target moves, the viewpoint shifts, or an obstacle appears, even though their earlier observations and committed actions reflect the previous scene. Many simulation robustness benchmarks fix external conditions at reset, leaving this temporal challenge underexamined. We introduce LIBERO-MAX, a benchmark of 8,000 paired cases spanning eight types of changes to geometry, observations, appearance, clutter, and paths. Each pair compares task execution with and without a mid-task event, holding the task, initial state, policy seed, and pre-event action sequence fixed. This controlled comparison distinguishes event-associated regressions from failures already present without the change. Across fourteen current VLA, hybrid, and world-action policies, events reduce success by 11.0-25.7 percentage points. Event profiles reveal shared vulnerabilities to geometry and observation changes, while policy-family rankings interleave. Camera controls show that robustness reflects both competence under the changed conditions and the trajectory from which they are encountered; varying query cadence does not eliminate the gap. Together, the paired protocol and temporal diagnostics establish LIBERO-MAX as a reproducible testbed for diagnosing failures under mid-execution changes and measuring progress toward robot policies that remain effective as the world changes.

Distilling Privileged Control Barrier Functions into RGB-Only Safety Filters for Dynamic Visual Navigation
将特权控制障碍函数提炼为仅基于RGB的动态视觉导航安全过滤器
Abstract
RGB-only end-to-end visual navigation policies remain vulnerable to collisions in real-world dynamic environments, motivating a dedicated safety layer. Existing visual Control Barrier Function (CBF) approaches seek to provide safety from RGB observations, but often rely on real-time rendering or explicit scene reconstruction and are primarily designed for static scenes, limiting their practicality for onboard deployment. We propose a teacher-student visual distillation framework that transfers the safety behavior of a privileged CBF teacher to an RGB-only student filter for dynamic environments. The student maps a short RGB history, robot velocity, and a nominal control action directly to a safe action, while the teacher uses ground-truth robot and obstacle states in a real-to-sim dynamic Gaussian Splatting environment. To reduce the teacher-student information gap, the teacher constructs safety constraints only from obstacles observable within the student's RGB history. It also accounts for obstacle-velocity uncertainty to improve robustness to motion variations, while action augmentation exposes the student to diverse safe and unsafe nominal actions to better capture the safety boundary. At deployment, the student requires only RGB observations and robot velocity, without explicit 3D reconstruction or online rendering. Experiments show that the proposed method outperforms visual CBF baselines and improves the safety of RGB-based navigation policies under dynamic obstacle motion.

Trajectory-Level Mode Guidance for Controllable Diffusion-Based Multi-Robot Motion Planning
可控扩散基础的多机器人运动规划的轨迹级模式引导
Abstract
Motion planning often admits multiple feasible solutions, making multimodal generation valuable, particularly for flexible multi-robot coordination. Diffusion models naturally learn such trajectory distributions, yet incorporating coarse and partial trajectory priors without restricting generation remains challenging. Such priors indicate a desirable region of the solution space rather than a single solution, motivating conditioned generation that preserves multimodality. In this paper, we guide trajectory generation in the clean trajectory space and progressively incorporate trajectory priors with a timestep-dependent guidance strength. At each reverse diffusion step, the reconstructed clean trajectory provides a unified space for integrating planning costs and partial trajectory priors. Planning costs are incorporated through gradient-based refinement, while the partial prior is progressively injected at the corresponding noise levels with decreasing guidance strength. This guides generation toward the prior in early stages while gradually releasing the constraint to preserve the inherent multimodality of the diffusion model. The framework naturally extends to multi-robot planning by incorporating inter-robot collision costs. Experiments on single- and multi-robot planning tasks demonstrate controllable trajectory synthesis, diverse feasible solutions, and safe multi-agent coordination.

Asymmetric Scout-Worker Reconnaissance for Route Validation in Unknown Environments
未知环境中用于路径验证的非对称侦察-工作者侦查
Abstract
This paper studies asymmetric scout-worker reconnaissance in unknown environments, where a small, agile autonomous scout explores routes for a larger worker robot that must visit an ordered sequence of goal locations. Because the scout has a smaller footprint and greater mobility, a scout-traversable route may be infeasible for the worker; worker feasibility must therefore be inferred from scout observations. This setting is not explicitly addressed by existing exploration and replanning methods, which typically assume a single traversability model and seek optimal paths for the same robot performing the exploration. We introduce a symbiotic scout-based framework that exploits the scout's superior mobility to explore only the portions of the unknown environment needed to identify worker-feasible path segments connecting the ordered goals. Evaluations in simulated and real-world settings demonstrate that the proposed approach validates feasible routes, repairs blocked segments with validated worker-feasible detours, and substantially reduces scout travel compared to baseline exploration and planning methods. A real-world indoor deployment further demonstrates the scout navigating narrow corridors to identify a worker-feasible route.

Reactive Real-Time Flow Policies via Asynchronous Distribution Alignment
通过异步分布对齐实现的实时反应流策略
Abstract
Generalist robot policies such as vision-language-action models (VLAs) have achieved remarkable generalization, but their inference delays can conflict with the demands of real-time control. Asynchronous execution avoids pauses between action chunks by predicting the next sequence of actions while the robot carries out the previous one. In this paper, we study whether asynchronous execution produces the same action distribution as the original VLA. We find that, for non-Markovian demonstrations, asynchronous execution can produce a fundamentally different action distribution, which can limit the policy's reactivity. In our method, we seek to restore this reactivity by aligning the asynchronously produced action distribution with that of the original VLA through two complementary mechanisms. First, Recursive Flow-Field Distillation trains the asynchronous policy using the VLA's action-generation flow. We characterize the learned distribution theoretically and show experimentally that our asynchronous policy can generate nearly the full range of actions the original VLA would produce, while existing asynchronous methods recover only a fraction of that range. Second, Propose-Resolve prepares multiple action sequences asynchronously and uses the latest observation to select among them based on a lightweight approximation of their likelihood under the VLA's action distribution. Our resulting method matches the original VLA's success on LIBERO and retains about 80% of its success on RoboMimic, about 30 percentage points more than existing asynchronous methods.

通用机器人策略，如视觉-语言-动作模型（VLA），已实现显著的泛化能力，但其推理延迟可能与实时控制的需求相冲突。异步执行通过在机器人执行前一个动作的同时预测下一系列动作，避免了动作块之间的暂停。本文研究了异步执行是否会产生与原始VLA相同的动作分布。我们发现，对于非马尔可夫演示，异步执行可能产生根本不同的动作分布，这可能限制策略的反应性。在我们的方法中，我们通过两种互补机制寻求恢复这种反应性，将异步产生的动作分布与原始VLA的动作分布对齐。首先，递归流场蒸馏（Recursive Flow-Field Distillation）使用VLA的动作生成流训练异步策略。我们从理论上表征了学习到的分布，并通过实验表明，我们的异步策略能够生成原始VLA几乎所有范围的动作，而现有的异步方法仅恢复了该范围的一部分。其次，提议-解决（Propose-Resolve）异步准备多个动作序列，并基于对VLA动作分布下的轻量级近似的可能性，使用最新观察结果在这些序列中进行选择。我们最终的方法在LIBERO上与原始VLA的成功相匹配，并在RoboMimic上保留了约80%的成功率，比现有的异步方法高出约30个百分点。

Planning Oriented 3D Scene Completion via Coupled TUDF Occupancy Representation Learning from Partial Observations
面向规划的3D场景补全：基于部分观测的耦合TUDF占用表示学习
Abstract
Partial observability remains a fundamental challenge in robotic navigation, where limited sensor coverage and occlusions leave large portions of the environment unobserved. Existing scene completion methods primarily focus on improving incomplete mapping or reconstructing partially observed 3D structures, but rarely investigate how scene completion can be designed to benefit downstream tasks such as path planning. In this work, we propose a path-planning-oriented 3D scene completion framework that moves beyond pure occupancy modeling toward a coupled geometric formulation. Specifically, given partial LiDAR observations as input, the proposed framework jointly predicts completed Truncated Unsigned Distance Field (TUDF)-based continuous geometric representations and voxel-wise occupancy maps. This coupled representation allows the network to better reason about obstacle boundaries and free-space geometry. To fully exploit the synergy between the two representations, we introduce a bidirectionally coupled learning scheme, where TUDF features provide dense geometric guidance to improve occupancy reconstruction, while occupancy features in turn offer complementary structural constraints that refine distance-field estimation. Consequently, the proposed network directly predicts complete occupancy and TUDF representations, allowing seamless integration of TUDF into trajectory planning without post-processing. Extensive experiments on unseen environments demonstrate that the proposed method consistently improves both geometric reconstruction quality and downstream planning performance.

部分可观测性仍然是机器人导航中的一个基本挑战，有限的传感器覆盖和遮挡使得环境的大部分区域未被观察。现有的场景补全方法主要集中在改善不完整的映射或重建部分观察到的3D结构，但很少探讨场景补全如何设计以利于下游任务，如路径规划。在本研究中，我们提出了一种面向路径规划的3D场景补全框架，超越了纯占用建模，朝着耦合几何形式发展。具体而言，给定部分LiDAR观测作为输入，所提出的框架联合预测基于截断无符号距离场（TUDF）的连续几何表示和体素级占用图。该耦合表示使得网络能够更好地推理障碍物边界和自由空间几何。为了充分利用这两种表示之间的协同作用，我们引入了一种双向耦合学习机制，其中TUDF特征为改善占用重建提供了密集的几何指导，而占用特征反过来又提供了补充的结构约束，以优化距离场估计。因此，所提出的网络直接预测完整的占用和TUDF表示，允许TUDF无缝集成到轨迹规划中，无需后处理。在未见环境上的大量实验表明，所提出的方法在几何重建质量和下游规划性能上均有持续改善。

Learning to Explore Hidden Kinematics for Articulated Object Manipulation
学习探索关节物体操作中的隐含运动学
Abstract
The kinematics of an articulated object is often ambiguous from vision alone. Interaction resolves the ambiguity, and active perception methods exploit this by searching for the single action that most sharpens a belief over the kinematic parameters at each step. Such greedy search cannot be extended over a horizon without forward models of the contact and inertial dynamics, which are themselves unknown. We instead amortize action selection into training. We maintain a belief distribution over joint type and parameters, initialized from a generative prior and updated by Bayesian filtering on the observed part motion. To condition the policy on this belief, we render it as a per-point articulation flow field, the motion that the current posterior predicts for every point on the object. Carrying the inductive bias of articulated motion, this representation generalizes better than a latent encoding of the belief or flow tracked from observation. We train the policy with reinforcement learning, rewarding the entropy that each interaction removes from the posterior, so that informative exploration becomes learned behavior rather than a search at every step. Our method outperforms previous approaches across door and drawer manipulation on the PartManip benchmark, and reaches 61.7% success on ArticuRiddle, a new dataset of objects whose appearance implies the wrong articulation, against 44.4% for the best previous method.

关节物体的运动学往往仅凭视觉难以明确。交互能够解决这种模糊性，而主动感知方法通过在每一步寻找最能增强对运动学参数信念的单一动作来利用这一点。然而，这种贪婪搜索无法在没有接触和惯性动力学的前向模型的情况下扩展到更长的时间范围，而这些模型本身又是未知的。我们则将动作选择的过程融入训练中。我们保持对关节类型和参数的信念分布，该分布从生成先验初始化，并通过对观察到的部件运动进行贝叶斯滤波进行更新。为了使策略以此信念为条件，我们将其呈现为每个点的关节流场，即当前后验对物体上每个点预测的运动。携带关节运动的归纳偏置，这种表示比信念的潜在编码或从观察中跟踪的流动具有更好的泛化能力。我们使用强化学习训练策略，奖励每次交互从后验中移除的熵，从而使得信息丰富的探索成为学习到的行为，而不是在每一步的搜索。我们的方法在PartManip基准测试中的门和抽屉操作上优于之前的方法，并在ArticuRiddle这一新数据集上取得了61.7%的成功率，该数据集中的物体外观暗示了错误的关节配置，而之前最佳方法的成功率为44.4%。项目网站：https://hiddenkinematics.github.io/

A robust single-sensing-element tactile sensor for concurrent pressure and tackiness detection with real-time signal decoupling capability
一种具有实时信号解耦能力的稳健单传感元件触觉传感器，用于同时检测压力和粘性
Abstract
Integrating tackiness sensation into the artificial skin of humanoid robots significantly enhances their cognitive and operational capabilities. However existing tactile sensors face challenges in decoupling of the multimodal signal and stability. Here we present a surface-soft tactile sensor that incorporates a Hall effect sensor and a soft magnetic composite within a robust elastic framework. The sensor surface indents under pressure and bulges prominently when retracted from sticky surfaces dynamically altering the Hall sensor-magnet distance. This generates whole-process-traceable and baseline-separated signals enabling real-time differentiation between pressure and pull-off force. This single-sensing-element design facilitates bimodal sensing at the same contact spot while eliminate stress cross-talk enhancing both accuracy and sensitivity. The fusion of a robust framework and magneto-mechanical sensing mechanism equips the sensor with exceptional reliability and excellent signal baseline stability. This tactile sensor holds substantial potential for advancing robotic capabilities in evaluating adhesive properties monitoring rubber aging precisely handling lightweight objects and cognizing natural objects surface characteristics.

Riemannian Splat Regression Models for Learning Time Fields on Arbitrary Riemannian Manifolds
用于在任意黎曼流形上学习时间场的黎曼喷溅回归模型
Abstract
Motion planning on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds is an important and difficult problem that frustrates typical planning methods for Euclidean spaces. In particular, motion planning methods that approximate optimal time-to-go functions with neural networks, e.g., Neural Time Fields (NTFields), cannot be directly applied without using ad-hoc coordinate projections into higher dimensions. Using these methods directly without such projections is desirable, as it promises to provide the lowest-possible-runtime method for obtaining optimal plans on high-dimensional manifolds while using minimal model capacity. In this work, we develop a model that requires no coordinate projection and can learn arbitrary functions on Riemannian manifolds by combining splat regression models with splats defined by wrapped Gaussian distributions. We successfully apply this model for learning arrival time fields on several Riemannian manifolds, and we compare the accuracy and model size of this approach with multi-layer perceptrons adapted to work on each manifold individually.

在任意黎曼流形上的运动规划是一个重要且困难的问题，这使得典型的欧几里得空间规划方法受到挫折。特别是，使用神经网络近似最优到达时间函数的运动规划方法，例如神经时间场（Neural Time Fields, NTFields），在没有使用特殊的坐标投影到更高维度的情况下无法直接应用。直接使用这些方法而不进行坐标投影是理想的，因为这有望提供在高维流形上获得最优规划的最低运行时间方法，同时使用最小的模型容量。在本研究中，我们开发了一种无需坐标投影的模型，该模型通过将喷溅回归模型与由包裹高斯分布定义的喷溅相结合，能够在黎曼流形上学习任意函数。我们成功地将该模型应用于在多个黎曼流形上学习到达时间场，并将这种方法的准确性和模型大小与适应于每个流形单独工作的多层感知器进行了比较。

EquivDP3: A SIM(3)-Invariant Point-Cloud Encoder for Data-Efficient Humanoid Loco-Manipulation
EquivDP3：一种针对数据高效的人形运动操控的SIM(3)不变点云编码器
Abstract
Visuomotor policies for humanoid loco-manipulation must generalize across object poses and lighting from only a handful of demonstrations. 3D Diffusion Policy (DP3) conditions a diffusion-based action generator on point-cloud features, but its PointNet-style encoder has no built-in equivariance to the rotations, translations, and scalings (SIM(3)) that manipulation tasks respect. EquiBot closed this gap for wheeled manipulators with a SIM(3)-equivariant Vector Neuron Network (VNN) encoder. We extend this to a substantially more complex embodiment, the 43-joint Unitree G1 humanoid, and propose EquivDP3: a two-stage policy where a high-level diffusion planner with a SIM(3)-equivariant VNN encoder emits 6 Hz whole-body command chunks, executed at 50 Hz by a frozen, pre-trained RL locomotion policy and a differential inverse-kinematics module for the arms, trained end-to-end by behavior cloning. Across two simulated IsaacLab benchmarks and four non-equivariant baselines (5-100 demonstrations, in- and out-of-distribution), EquivDP3's advantage concentrates in the low-data regime: at 5-10 demonstrations it reaches 67.1% success versus 38.2-52.4% for the baselines, while by 50-100 all encoders converge (74.3-85.2%) and the ordering is no longer meaningful. A proprioception-only control confirms this gap is genuinely perceptual: with the point cloud removed, success drops to 31% vs. 60% (EquivDP3) at 5 demonstrations and 78% vs. 99% at 10, but vanishes by 50-100, showing the high-data plateau reflects a benchmark ceiling, not five encoders learning the same invariance. The encoder costs only 0.8 ms of extra latency per action chunk over the PointNet encoder it replaces. Baking geometric symmetry into a hierarchical diffusion policy's perception backbone is a practical, nearly free way to improve data efficiency for humanoid loco-manipulation when demonstrations are scarce.

人形运动操控的视觉运动策略必须能够在仅有少量示例的情况下，跨越物体姿态和光照进行泛化。3D扩散策略（DP3）将基于点云特征的扩散动作生成器进行了条件化，但其PointNet风格的编码器并没有内置对操作任务所遵循的旋转、平移和缩放（SIM(3)）的不变性。EquiBot通过一个SIM(3)不变的向量神经网络（VNN）编码器为轮式操控器填补了这一空白。我们将这一方法扩展到一个复杂得多的实例，即43关节的Unitree G1人形机器人，并提出EquivDP3：一种两阶段策略，其中高层扩散规划器使用SIM(3)不变的VNN编码器发出6 Hz的全身指令块，由一个冻结的、经过预训练的强化学习运动策略和一个用于手臂的微分逆运动学模块以50 Hz执行，后者通过行为克隆进行端到端训练。在两个模拟的IsaacLab基准测试和四个非不变基线（5-100个示例，分布内和分布外）中，EquivDP3的优势集中在低数据范围：在5-10个示例时，其成功率达到67.1%，而基线的成功率为38.2%-52.4%；而在50-100个示例时，所有编码器的成功率趋于一致（74.3%-85.2%），顺序不再具有意义。仅使用本体感知控制确认了这一差距确实是感知上的：在移除点云后，成功率在5个示例时降至31%，而EquivDP3为60%；在10个示例时降至78%，而EquivDP3为99%，但在50-100个示例时消失，显示出高数据平稳期反映的是基准的上限，而不是五个编码器学习相同的不变性。该编码器在每个动作块上仅比其替代的PointNet编码器多出0.8毫秒的延迟。在层次扩散策略的感知骨干中融入几何对称性，是在示例稀缺时提高人形运动操控数据效率的一种实用且几乎免费的方法。

Inferring Soil Friction Angle from Robot Foot-Ground Force Histories: A Bayesian Inverse Approach to Proprioceptive Soil Sensing
从机器人足部-地面力历史推断土壤摩擦角：一种基于贝叶斯逆推的自我感知土壤传感方法
Abstract
Foot-ground interaction signals recorded by quadruped robots may enable spatially distributed, in situ characterization of soil strength. As a first step, we test whether the internal friction angle $\phi$ of cohesionless soil can be identified from the force history of a simplified rotating leg. A two-dimensional continuum model implemented with the material point method, benchmarked against measured rotating-leg force histories, generates the training data, and two Gaussian-process surrogates support Bayesian inversion of the full histories. In matched-model experiments, the framework recovers 14 off-grid friction angles with a median absolute error of approximately $0.1^\circ$ (maximum $\sim 0.7^\circ$); the reported credible intervals contain the true value in every case. These results establish that $\phi$ is identifiable when the forward model is correctly specified, and support further development of proprioceptive soil sensing for spatially variable terrain, with applications from physics-grounded world models for robot training to post-wildfire slope assessment.

Cooperative Multi-Agent Vision-Language-Action Models via Reinforced Fine Tuning
通过强化微调的合作多智能体视觉-语言-动作模型
Abstract
We study reinforcement learning (RL) methods for cooperative multi-agent Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. This problem is challenging because VLAs are pretrained on large-scale single-agent data and therefore lack the fine-grained coordination skills required for inter-robot collaboration. Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on multi-robot demonstrations partially bridges this gap, but its performance is bounded by the demonstration data and cannot improve from its own experience. We present a three-stage reinforced fine-tuning (RFT) pipeline for multi-agent VLAs. First, initialization-aware data collection sweeps over initial configurations and invokes human demonstrations only when the pretrained VLA repeatedly fails, yielding robustness to initialization shift with reduced human cost. Second, offline credit-filtered tuning assigns credit to individual agents and fine-tunes on per-agent trajectories with positive advantage rather than on entire joint rollouts. Third, we find existing online RL for VLAs are less effective for hard multi-agent tasks, which we attribute to noisy co-exploration and unstable updates. We instead use online latent-space fine tuning, which freeze the VLA and perform RL in its latent noise space. We evaluate our multi-agent VLA with both $\pi_0$ and $\pi_{0.5}$ backbones across 11 tasks in RoboTwin, RoboFactory and real-world manipulation with two Franka robots. Our multi-agent VLA improves the average success rate by $+23.1\%$, $+16.4\%$, and $+44\%$ on RoboTwin, RoboFactory, and real-world tasks, respectively.

我们研究了用于合作多智能体视觉-语言-动作（VLA）模型的强化学习（RL）方法。这个问题具有挑战性，因为VLA是在大规模单智能体数据上进行预训练的，因此缺乏机器人间协作所需的细粒度协调技能。在多机器人演示上的监督微调（SFT）部分弥补了这一差距，但其性能受到演示数据的限制，无法从自身经验中改进。我们提出了一种三阶段的强化微调（RFT）流程，用于多智能体VLA。首先，初始化感知的数据收集在初始配置上进行，并仅在预训练的VLA反复失败时调用人类演示，从而在减少人力成本的同时提高对初始化变化的鲁棒性。其次，离线信用过滤调优为个体智能体分配信用，并在具有正优势的每个智能体轨迹上进行微调，而不是在整个联合回放上进行调优。第三，我们发现现有的在线RL对于VLA在困难的多智能体任务中效果较差，这归因于嘈杂的共同探索和不稳定的更新。相反，我们使用在线潜在空间微调，冻结VLA并在其潜在噪声空间中进行RL。我们在RoboTwin、RoboFactory和两个Franka机器人进行的现实世界操作中，评估了我们的多智能体VLA，使用了$ ext{π}_0$和$ ext{π}_{0.5}$骨干网络，涵盖了11个任务。我们的多智能体VLA在RoboTwin、RoboFactory和现实世界任务上的平均成功率分别提高了$+23.1 ext{ extperthousand}$、$+16.4 ext{ extperthousand}$和$+44 ext{ extperthousand}$。代码可在https://anonymous.4open.science/r/mavla_rft-2BC0/获取。

Simple Agentic Memory for Generalist Robot Policies
通用机器人策略的简单代理记忆
Abstract
Visual-memory systems commonly retain or compress past observations. Robot control additionally requires interaction-derived state that no individual frame may explicitly represent, such as persistent identity relations, accumulated progress, or ordered procedures. We introduce Simple Agentic Robot Memory (SimpleARM), a training-free memory layer for frozen generalist robot policies. From the task instruction, SimpleARM specifies what to monitor; frozen perceptual tools maintain compact typed state online; structured access retrieves that state only when a proposed subgoal depends on history; and current-view grounding resolves recalled entities before execution. We evaluate SimpleARM on RoboMME, a benchmark of memory-dependent robot manipulation tasks that require history information no longer available in the current observation. Across all 16 tasks and three policy seeds, SimpleARM achieves 67.17% mean success, compared with 44.51% for the strongest non-oracle baseline. Matched ablations show mechanism specificity: removing relation, reference, progress, or route state produces large losses where the affected state is retrieved for control, while largely sparing other tasks. These results support a state-based view of robot memory: effective memory for control is not simply retained visual history, but compact task-relevant state derived from the interaction history.

HACo: Learning Haptic Active Compliance for Force-Aware Dexterous Manipulation
HACo：学习用于力感知灵巧操作的触觉主动顺应性
Abstract
Contact-rich dexterous manipulation requires policies that translate physical feedback into motion commands while regulating interaction loads across evolving multi-contact interactions. This requires haptic observations of contact state and action supervision showing how commands should adapt. Existing policies often overlook complementary fingertip tactile and joint-torque feedback, while common action targets either encode excessive loading or omit motion constrained by the object. We introduce HACo, a Haptic Active Compliance policy that learns force-regulating actions directly from haptic feedback. Compliance-regulated teleoperation converts operator inputs into controller-executable compliant actions that preserve motion intent while regulating loads. HACo learns these actions directly, using command-state discrepancy as auxiliary compliant-intent supervision. It combines local fingertip tactile responses with joint-torque feedback capturing load transmission through the articulated hand, including contacts beyond tactile coverage. A Compliance Grounding Module uses gated haptic cross-attention to ground action generation in the evolving haptic state, enabling closed-loop force regulation without explicit online contact modeling. We evaluate HACo on a real-world benchmark covering multi-contact friction, tangential interaction, fragile curved-surface contact, rotational torque, and deformable-object manipulation. Across 20 trials per task, HACo achieves an 83% mean success rate, compared with 35% for the strongest evaluated baseline. These results demonstrate active compliance across diverse force-sensitive dexterous manipulation tasks.

接触丰富的灵巧操作需要将物理反馈转化为运动指令的策略，同时在不断变化的多接触交互中调节交互负载。这要求对接触状态进行触觉观察，并通过行动监督展示指令应如何适应。现有的策略往往忽视了互补的指尖触觉和关节扭矩反馈，而常见的行动目标要么编码过多的负载，要么忽略了物体限制的运动。我们提出了HACo，一种触觉主动顺应性策略，直接从触觉反馈中学习力调节动作。顺应性调节的遥操作将操作员输入转换为可由控制器执行的顺应性动作，这些动作在调节负载的同时保留运动意图。HACo直接学习这些动作，使用指令-状态差异作为辅助的顺应意图监督。它结合了局部指尖触觉反应与捕捉通过关节手传递负载的关节扭矩反馈，包括超出触觉覆盖范围的接触。顺应性基础模块使用门控触觉交叉注意力将动作生成与不断变化的触觉状态相结合，从而实现闭环的力调节，而无需显式的在线接触建模。我们在一个涵盖多接触摩擦、切向交互、脆弱曲面接触、旋转扭矩和可变形物体操作的真实世界基准上评估了HACo。在每个任务的20次试验中，HACo的平均成功率达到83%，而最强的评估基线仅为35%。这些结果展示了在多样化的力敏感灵巧操作任务中实现主动顺应性。

Executor-aware Candidate Selection via a Feasibility Certificate
基于可行性证书的执行器感知候选选择
Abstract
Modular robotic systems often separate motion planning from a downstream executor that enforces state-dependent hard constraints. A candidate that is geometrically valid may therefore be incompatible with the executor's available command set. We present a certificate-based candidate-selection framework that constructs a command witness from the executor hard set at predicted rollout states and verifies it against the original constraints, without changing candidate generation, ranking, or the executor. Across 5,085 geometry-valid numerical evaluations on two robot models, 795 admitted no executor-feasible command. The certificate is sufficient but conservative: none of the 795 was certified, while 7.09\% of reference-feasible cases remained uncertified. In controlled FR3 and fixed-base RB-Y1 simulations, certificate admission frequently changed candidate selection, and a post-hoc exact linear-programming (LP) admission baseline revealed platform-dependent conservatism. Relative to geometry-based selection, certificate admission was associated with lower planner-command coverage and higher nominal tracking error, without a consistent advantage in reached-state interaction reserve. A planner-generated MoveIt/OMPL study further evaluates the same admission rule on externally generated candidate pools.

OTRetarget: Joint Robot and Object Motion Retargeting via Optimal Transport
OTRetarget：通过最优传输实现机器人与物体运动的联合重定向
Abstract
Transferring human motion to humanoid robots requires adapting the demonstrated motion to the robot morphology while preserving interactions with the environment. This is particularly challenging for loco-manipulation tasks, where contacts with the ground and manipulated objects must remain consistent despite differences in body proportions. Yet, skeletal motion alone does not fully describe these interactions, and fixing object trajectories limits the adaptation to a new embodiment. In this paper, we introduce OTR ETARGET, a unified approach to jointly retarget robot and multi-object motion from human demonstrations. Our approach represents surface interactions through signed distances, closest surface points, and relative directions, and uses entropic optimal transport to transfer these quantities across human, robot, and object geometries. We incorporate the resulting interaction targets into a constrained inverse kinematics formulation that balances contact preservation with motion style and jointly optimizes robot and object poses at each frame. This formulation accommodates robot-object and object-object interactions without rescaling the scene or the demonstration. We validate the proposed approach on OMOMO, where it achieves a robot- object interaction Jaccard score of 87% and a depth error of 8.7 mm, compared with 28% and 29.3 mm for OmniRetarget. Finally, we demonstrate transfer to a physical G1 humanoid using whole-body policies trained with reinforcement learning on the retargeted references, across motions including two-handed box pick-and-place onto a table.

Abstract
Understanding ongoing robot manipulation requires models to interpret visual observations in relation to interaction history and task progress. We introduce RoboChrono, a benchmark for streaming task understanding comprising 39 scenarios and 34,713 evaluation instances, constructed from real robot executions and complementary bare-hand human recordings. The benchmark evaluates seven tasks grouped into recognition, alignment, and temporal grounding, covering action understanding and anticipation, visual correspondence, temporal ordering, and action localization. Zero-shot evaluation of 18 vision-language models reveals substantial differences across tasks. GPT-6-Astra achieves 98.3% accuracy on Frame Matching but 68.3% on Frame Ordering, while RynnBrain1.1-122B-A10B exhibits a larger gap, reaching 95.4% and 32.9%, respectively. Input ablations on matched questions with five open-weight models further reveal distinct dependencies on visual evidence: removing visual observations reduces Current Action Recognition accuracy by 22.1 percentage points, whereas Next Action Prediction decreases by only 0.7 points. These findings show that strong visual matching does not consistently coincide with strong temporal ordering, and suggest that next-action prediction can be supported by task and action priors even when visual evidence is unavailable. RoboChrono provides a diagnostic setting for examining these differences, highlighting the need for capability-specific evaluation beyond aggregate scores when assessing task understanding in robot manipulation.

Foundation-Model-Guided Topology-Aware Semantic Risk Fields for Manipulation
基于基础模型的拓扑感知语义风险场用于操作
Abstract
Robot motion planning in everyday environments must satisfy hard geometric constraints while accounting for context-dependent semantic risk. We present a foundation-model-guided, topology-aware semantic risk field that extends manipulation safety beyond collision avoidance. For each manipulated-object/scene-object pair, a foundation model provides six directional risk weights and a pair-specific spatial decay scale. The method combines these priors with voxelized 3D scene geometry using topology-aware shielding and geodesic spatial decay. A GPU-parallel backend batches object-level distance and risk computations to construct a dense 3D field that serves as a modular cost for downstream motion planning. We evaluate the field's shielding behavior under full and partial barriers and compare its 3D workspace representation with a pixel-wise semantic-prior baseline. Across three household simulation scenarios, trajectories optimized with the proposed field have lower semantic exposure than collision-only trajectories under the same geometric constraints. We also evaluate the computational practicality and reliability of the supporting pipeline. Together, these results support the proposed field as a practical topology-aware semantic cost representation for manipulation planning beyond collision avoidance.

Where Predictive Supervision Goes Shapes What VLA Policies Learn
预测监督的去向影响视觉-语言-行动（VLA）策略的学习
Abstract
Future prediction is increasingly used to improve vision-language-action (VLA) policies, based on the premise that anticipating scene evolution encourages representations useful for control. However, forecast quality alone does not establish that a policy has learned a better representation for action. This distinction matters under distribution shift, where successful control depends on preserving spatial state and likely scene change beyond familiar configurations. We study what determines whether predictive supervision improves the visual representation used by a VLA policy. Through controlled comparisons with matched target constructions, prediction horizons, and training conditions, we find that different prediction interfaces produce markedly different forecasts and visual representations, including in the spatial, dynamics, and action information that transfers beyond familiar scenes. We trace these differences to how predictive errors shape the policy's visual stream. Consistent with this controlled finding, VLA policies trained with more direct, scene-matched future supervision show stronger robustness under simulated and physical distribution shifts. Together, our results frame future prediction as a representation-learning design problem whose value for control depends on whether its supervision reaches the representations through which the policy acts.

未来预测越来越多地用于改善视觉-语言-行动（VLA）策略，基于这样一个前提：预见场景演变能够促进有助于控制的表征。然而，仅仅预测质量并不能证明策略已经学习到了更好的行动表征。在分布变化的情况下，这一区别尤为重要，因为成功的控制依赖于保持空间状态和可能的场景变化，超越熟悉的配置。我们研究了预测监督是否改善VLA策略所使用的视觉表征的决定因素。通过对匹配目标构造、预测视野和训练条件的控制比较，我们发现不同的预测接口产生显著不同的预测和视觉表征，包括在空间、动态和超越熟悉场景的行动信息方面。我们追踪这些差异的原因在于预测误差如何塑造策略的视觉流。与这一控制发现一致，经过更直接、场景匹配的未来监督训练的VLA策略在模拟和物理分布变化下表现出更强的鲁棒性。综合来看，我们的结果将未来预测框定为一个表征学习设计问题，其对控制的价值取决于其监督是否能够到达策略行动所依赖的表征。

Kinematic Nonlinear Spatio-Temporal Trajectory Warping for Contact-Rich Dexterous Manipulation Demonstrations
用于接触丰富的灵巧操作演示的运动非线性时空轨迹扭曲
Abstract
We present a straightforward but effective method for repurposing existing contact-rich dexterous manipulation demonstrations. Starting from inputs of hand and object trajectories, our method outputs high-quality nonlinear trajectory warps that account for intermediate waypoints, environmental barriers, temporal shifts, and varied start/end configurations. Foundational to our method is the utilization of contact distributions, which we show allows us to reliably compute complex and high-dimensional dexterous hand trajectories following a simple object-centric warp specification pipeline. We evaluate our method across 12 variations sourced from 4 demonstrations in a publicly available dataset of human hand motion data, perform baseline comparisons, and demonstrate generalization of our approach to different manipulators. Results and code will be made available on publication.

T$^2$Mem: Learning Test-Time Memory for Robotics
T$^2$Mem：为机器人学习测试时记忆
Abstract
Memory-dependent robotic manipulation requires policies to use information that is no longer available in the current observation. Retaining history alone is insufficient: memory must preserve information that supports future actions. One challenge is whether a memory-free foundation model can learn to retain and use historical information from action demonstrations alone, without external memory support. We introduce T$^2$Mem, a framework that develops this capability within a pretrained vision-language-action policy, without external reasoning models or memory-specific annotations. T$^2$Mem uses test-time training to encode observation history into compact fast weights through online self-supervised updates, avoiding repeated processing of the full history. An observation-grounded interface extracts vision-language information for memory formation and supplies retrieved context to the action expert. Action supervision shapes what the memory learns to retain and use, while alternating memory-policy learning gives each component a fixed counterpart during optimization. Across 16 RoboMME tasks, T$^2$Mem improves average success from 17.93% to 56.83% over the memory-free base policy and outperforms the recurrent-memory methods reported in the benchmark, while controlled profiling indicates at least 3x inference speedup over explicit methods.

依赖记忆的机器人操作需要策略利用当前观察中不再可用的信息。仅仅保留历史信息是不够的：记忆必须保留支持未来行动的信息。一个挑战是，是否可以让一个无记忆的基础模型仅通过动作示范学习保留和使用历史信息，而不依赖外部记忆支持。我们提出了T$^2$Mem，一个在预训练的视觉-语言-动作策略中发展这一能力的框架，无需外部推理模型或特定于记忆的注释。T$^2$Mem利用测试时训练通过在线自监督更新将观察历史编码为紧凑的快速权重，避免对完整历史的重复处理。一个基于观察的接口提取视觉-语言信息以形成记忆，并向动作专家提供检索到的上下文。动作监督塑造记忆学习保留和使用的内容，而交替的记忆-策略学习使每个组件在优化过程中都有一个固定的对应关系。在16个RoboMME任务中，T$^2$Mem将平均成功率从17.93%提高到56.83%，超越了无记忆基础策略，并且在基准测试中优于报告的递归记忆方法，同时控制分析表明其推理速度至少比显式方法快3倍。项目网站：https://yzliu84.github.io/T2MEM-project/

Degeneracy-Orthogonal Geometric Constraints for LiDAR SLAM
激光雷达SLAM的退化正交几何约束
Abstract
Autonomous robot navigation relies on simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to estimate motion and maintain an accurate pose within an environment. However, in axially uniform corridors such as long tunnels and pipelines, LiDAR odometry is fundamentally limited by unconstrained drift along the feature-weak travel direction. This structural degeneracy cannot be resolved by local scan matching alone. To address this challenge, we propose the Degeneracy-orthogonal Contour Offset Descriptor (DeCOD), a structure-aligned geometric descriptor for cross-sectional landmarks. Cross-sectional boundaries, such as pipe joints and structural rings, provide metric constraints along this degenerate axis, but distinguishing individual landmarks requires capturing subtle surface variations across nearly identical profiles. The descriptor parameterizes signed normal deviation from estimated boundary contours, and matching explicitly resolves heading ambiguity and decouples first-order contour errors by distortion estimation. Matched landmarks yield geometric factors that enforce agreement in cross-section position and corridor axis alignment during pose-graph optimization, correcting longitudinal drift while leaving rotation about the common axis unconstrained. On a public benchmark and in field experiments, DeCOD achieves robust landmark retrieval over standard 3D descriptors and successfully stabilizes trajectories across different odometry frontends, reliably constraining longitudinal drift under geometric degeneracy.

LexiconVLA: Learning Reusable Atomic Action Codebooks for Unseen Tasks
LexiconVLA：为未见任务学习可重用的原子动作词典
Abstract
Vision-language-action (VLA) models struggle to reuse recurring interactions in unseen tasks. Our diagnostic study reveals that reliable task completion does not imply consistent execution of constituent atomic actions across task contexts. We present LexiconVLA, a retrievable atomic-action lexicon for cross-task reuse. Global and detail codebooks capture shared interaction structure and fine-grained execution variation, respectively, preserving both reusable patterns and execution details. Visual-Atomic Action Alignment couples trajectory reconstruction from visual state changes with visual outcome prediction from action codes, grounding the lexicon in motion and its effects. We learn these codebooks with trajectory reconstruction and visual alignment on our AtomAction Dataset of 57,803 segments from 69 tasks. A planner and scene-aware adapter translate new goals into code-conditioned subtasks for a shared policy, without skill-specific experts or deployment-time parameter updates. Across five policy backbones on 26 RLBench tasks, LexiconVLA largely maintains performance on 18 seen tasks while improving success on 8 tasks held out from policy training. With BridgeVLA, unseen-task success rises from 16.67% to 34.17% (+17.50 percentage points), and overall success reaches 71.08%, the highest among methods with reported results. Real-robot experiments demonstrate stepwise execution and failure recovery.

DRHeC: Differentiable Rendering for Hand-Eye Calibration with RGB-Based Gradients
DRHeC：基于RGB梯度的手眼标定可微渲染
Abstract
Accurate hand-eye calibration is crucial for precision manipulation. Traditional methods rely on markers, with their precision dependent on marker accuracy and observability. In contrast, markerless methods, such as learning-based approaches, use deep neural networks to directly extract keypoints or features from images, enabling the computation of hand-eye transformation with a single image and without the need for physical markers. Recently, differentiable rendering-based methods for hand-eye calibration have leveraged physical models to render binary masks and compare them with observations, enabling hand-eye calibration without fiducial markers in the calibration stage and providing interpretable optimization. While the state-of-the-art differentiable rendering methods achieve remarkable accuracy, the use of binary masks can result in the loss of internal profile details, reducing precision. Additionally, these methods can also suffer from unstable optimization and local minima. In this study, we propose a novel RGB-based differentiable rendering framework that provides richer geometric and appearance cues by incorporating color and mask geometric features, thereby improving calibration accuracy and optimization stability. Additionally, we propose a mask-guided image-to-image translation method to ensure explicit preservation of color and geometric consistency throughout the translation. Our approach is validated through both simulation and real-world experiments, with results demonstrating strong accuracy and robustness and clear improvements over existing differentiable rendering methods. Our method achieves a grasping success rate of 88.9% and insertion success rate of 57.4% on the UR5e real-world experiment, outperforming the state-of-the-art differentiable rendering hand-eye calibration method EasyHeC by 46.3 and 48.1 percentage points, respectively.

Scale-Invariant Manipulability Shape Tracking Across Heterogeneous Manipulators
跨异构操纵器的尺度不变可操控性形状跟踪
Abstract
When transferring manipulability across systems with different sizes and kinematic structures, matching absolute ellipsoid scale may be unnecessary when the goal is to reproduce orientation and semi-axis length ratios. Full-matrix tracking, however, penalizes both shape and absolute-scale differences, even when only shape matching is required. We therefore propose a scale-invariant manipulability shape-tracking method that treats matrices differing only by a positive scalar factor as equivalent and uses their unit-determinant representatives. We derive the differential of the unit-determinant shape representative and an orthonormal coordinate representation of the tangent tracking residual under the affine-invariant Riemannian metric (AIRM). The resulting scale-invariant objective is integrated with position and end-effector direction tasks in a constrained joint-velocity quadratic program. Simulations with four heterogeneous robots evaluate robot-to-robot and human-to-robot transfer. On three followers, the proposed method achieves endpoint shape distances of 9.30 x 10^-5 without scale tuning. With robot-specific target scales tuned during motion, the Full method retains endpoint axis-ratio errors of 0.19-0.31 on KR500 and UR20. For human reaching with concurrent tasks, the proposed method yields dual force shapes elongated along X like the human target on all four robots, with endpoint position errors of 2.4-5.6% of reference arm length versus up to 75% for the Full method tracking the original human ellipsoid.

TaRL: Learning General and Physical Rewards from Tactile Demonstrations
TaRL：从触觉示范中学习一般和物理奖励
Abstract
Contact-rich manipulation requires robots to sequence precise contacts, maintain stable grasps, and apply directed forces. Reinforcement learning (RL) can acquire such behaviors automatically, but its performance hinges on reward design: sparse rewards reduce the learning efficiency, while dense rewards are hard to specify. Visual reward learning addresses this by inferring rewards from action-free demonstrations. Because it conditions only on visual observations, it fails to capture rewards beyond visual goals. We propose Tactile Reward Learning (TaRL), a framework that learns rewards from tactile demonstrations. TaRL takes a sequence of tactile deformation maps as input, and regresses task-completion progress from both successful and failed demonstrations. Because TaRL captures local robot-object interaction, it provides informative feedback to learn firm grasps and correctly directed forces; meanwhile, it is robust to changes in scene layout such as object position. We evaluate TaRL on four manipulation tasks in simulation and two in the real world. Used as a shaping reward, it substantially improves both sample efficiency and final success rate, raising success on Nut threading from 34% to 56% in simulation and on cube pickup from 37% to 97% in the real world. Combining tactile with visual rewards improves performance further. TaRL also generalizes across object instances: trained on box placement and directly deployed to can placement, it significantly improves policy learning on the new task.

接触丰富的操作要求机器人进行精确的接触序列、保持稳定的抓取并施加定向力。强化学习（RL）可以自动获取这些行为，但其性能依赖于奖励设计：稀疏奖励降低学习效率，而密集奖励则难以指定。视觉奖励学习通过从无动作示范中推断奖励来解决这一问题。由于它仅依赖于视觉观察，因此无法捕捉超出视觉目标的奖励。我们提出了触觉奖励学习（Tactile Reward Learning，TaRL），这是一个从触觉示范中学习奖励的框架。TaRL以一系列触觉变形图作为输入，从成功和失败的示范中回归任务完成进度。由于TaRL捕捉了局部的机器人-物体交互，它提供了有用的反馈，以学习稳固的抓取和正确的施力方向；同时，它对场景布局的变化（如物体位置）具有鲁棒性。我们在四个模拟操作任务和两个现实世界任务上评估了TaRL。作为形状奖励使用时，它显著提高了样本效率和最终成功率，使得在模拟中坚果穿线的成功率从34%提高到56%，在现实世界中立方体拾取的成功率从37%提高到97%。将触觉奖励与视觉奖励结合进一步提升了性能。TaRL还在物体实例之间具有泛化能力：在箱子放置任务上训练后，直接应用于罐子放置任务，显著改善了新任务的策略学习。项目页面可访问 https://embodiedai-ntu.github.io/tarl。

Spotter: Let the Embodied Model Lead, and the VLM Reflect for It
Spotter：让具身模型主导，视觉语言模型反思
Abstract
Current embodied models do not respond to their own failures, although what just went wrong could inform a small adjustment on the next attempt, the kind of reflection behind the gains of thinking in language models. We test whether they can repair a known error, which requires producing a correction and judging whether it is right. Stopped at a failure and allowed to retry, they seldom repair it through their own randomness or from a language description of the error, and best-of-N selection cannot pick the successful candidate after a failure. We attribute this to training only on successful demonstrations and to inputs too narrow to show what went wrong, and conclude that reflection must come from a vision-language model (VLM), which takes in far more information, such as the episode history and text, and is more general. Prior VLM-led work has the VLM plan every step and invoke the embodied model as a tool, placing the VLM on the critical path. We propose Spotter, which reverses the roles: the embodied model leads and executes continuously, while the VLM runs in parallel, monitors through a lightweight local screener, intervenes only when an error is detected, reflects on and corrects it, and returns control. We run Spotter with Qwen and with GPT as the VLM, and both improve the embodied models; with GPT, Spotter improves Cosmos Policy and $\pi_{0.5}$ by 5.6 and 7.5 percentage points on RoboCasa, and raises $\pi_{0.5}$ from 47.2% to 57.0% on the Hard setting of RoboTwin 2.0 and from 53% to 83% on a real robot. Because the VLM steps in only when an error is confirmed, a successful episode with Qwen takes only 13 to 16 s longer than with the embodied model alone and about 70% less time than with a VLM-led baseline using the same model. Our code is available at https://github.com/zqc3117/Spotter.

当前的具身模型无法对自身的失败做出反应，尽管刚刚发生的错误可以为下次尝试提供小幅调整的依据，这种反思正是语言模型思维带来的收益。我们测试它们是否能够修复已知错误，这需要生成一个修正并判断其是否正确。在遭遇失败后被允许重试时，它们很少通过自身的随机性或对错误的语言描述来修复错误，而最佳选择（best-of-N）也无法在失败后选出成功的候选者。我们将此归因于仅在成功示例上进行训练，以及输入过于狭窄，无法显示出错误发生的原因，因此得出结论：反思必须来自视觉语言模型（VLM），它可以获取更多信息，例如事件历史和文本，并且更为通用。之前的VLM主导的工作让VLM规划每一步并将具身模型作为工具，从而将VLM置于关键路径上。我们提出了Spotter，反转了角色：具身模型主导并持续执行，而VLM并行运行，通过轻量级本地筛选器进行监控，仅在检测到错误时介入，反思并修正错误，然后返回控制。我们使用Qwen和GPT作为VLM运行Spotter，均提升了具身模型的表现；使用GPT时，Spotter在RoboCasa上将Cosmos Policy和$ ext{pi}_{0.5}$分别提高了5.6和7.5个百分点，并在RoboTwin 2.0的Hard设置下将$ ext{pi}_{0.5}$从47.2%提升至57.0%，在真实机器人上从53%提升至83%。由于VLM仅在确认错误时介入，使用Qwen的成功事件所需时间仅比单独使用具身模型多13到16秒，且比使用相同模型的VLM主导基线少约70%的时间。我们的代码可在https://github.com/zqc3117/Spotter获取。

VidAct: Learning Manipulation from In-the-Wild Videos with Object-Centric 3D Awareness
VidAct：从野外视频中学习以物体为中心的三维意识操控
Abstract
Video demonstrations offer a scalable alternative to costly robot data for learning manipulation, yet existing reconstruction-based approaches often rely on constrained camera viewpoints or human-to-robot retargeting, while the reconstructed trajectories are difficult to adapt to new objects configurations without distorting the trajectory shape. Another key limitation is that the resulting policies often lack precise object-level 3D geometry awareness, limiting object grounding and object shape awareness critical for precise manipulation. To bridge these gaps, we propose VidAct, an efficient video-to-robot framework that learns object-centric, 3D-aware manipulation policies from a single monocular video per task and enables zero-shot real-world deployment. VidAct consists of three key components. First, VidAct reconstructs object meshes and motion from arbitrary demo videos and canonicalizes the motion in the static object frame, avoiding embodiment-specific retargeting and accommodating diverse camera viewpoints. Second, VidAct employ residual trajectory transfer for adapting the reconstructed motion to novel object configurations while preserving its motion shape. Finally, as the key policy-learning component, VidAct predicts simulation-provided privileged complete-object point clouds at each frame as an auxiliary task while retaining RGB-only deployment, providing dense object-centric supervision over both object pose and 3D geometry. Experiments on human, robot, generated, and internet videos demonstrate broad video applicability and zero-shot deployment. Per-frame complete-object 3D supervision improves policy generalization and sim-to-real success, while residual trajectory transfer enables reliable trajectory adaptation with better shape preservation.

视频演示为学习操控提供了一种可扩展的替代方案，取代了昂贵的机器人数据。然而，现有的基于重建的方法通常依赖于受限的摄像机视角或人机重定向，而重建的轨迹在适应新物体配置时往往难以保持轨迹形状不变。另一个关键限制是，所得到的策略通常缺乏精确的物体级三维几何意识，这限制了物体定位和物体形状意识，而这些对于精确操控至关重要。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了VidAct，一个高效的视频到机器人框架，它从每个任务的单个单目视频中学习以物体为中心的三维意识操控策略，并实现零样本的现实世界部署。VidAct由三个关键组件组成。首先，VidAct从任意演示视频中重建物体网格和运动，并在静态物体框架中规范化运动，避免了特定于体现的重定向，并适应多样的摄像机视角。其次，VidAct采用残差轨迹转移，将重建的运动适应于新物体配置，同时保持其运动形状。最后，作为关键的策略学习组件，VidAct在每一帧预测模拟提供的特权完整物体点云作为辅助任务，同时保留仅RGB的部署，提供对物体姿态和三维几何的密集以物体为中心的监督。对人类、机器人、生成和互联网视频的实验展示了广泛的视频适用性和零样本部署。每帧的完整物体三维监督提高了策略的泛化能力和模拟到现实的成功率，而残差轨迹转移则实现了可靠的轨迹适应，并更好地保持了形状。

PreferenceFlow: Test-Time Guidance of Flow-Matching Robot Policies from Human Interventions
PreferenceFlow：基于人类干预的流匹配机器人策略的测试时指导
Abstract
Flow-matching policies can represent complex robot behaviors but remain susceptible to local errors under distribution shift at deployment. Many reinforcement learning approaches to policy improvement require reward signals that are difficult to specify or obtain in real-world manipulation. We present PreferenceFlow, a framework for improving a pretrained flow policy at test time without environment rewards or updates to the base policy. Human intervention chunks are paired with robot chunks generated from the same initial conditioning state to train a preference model. During infer- ence, we adopt the QGF sampling update, replacing its value gradient with the preference gradient evaluated at an estimated clean action. A gradient-cap loss penalizes excessive gradients on intervention pairs, while a zero-gradient loss discourages guidance near actions from expert demonstrations. On four real-world precision insertion tasks with a Franka robot, Pref- erenceFlow achieves a mean success rate of 90.5%, compared with 69% for the frozen policy. Ablations support the roles of gradient regularization and correctly ordered preference labels in the evaluated settings. These results demonstrate the utility of human interventions as local preference supervision for guiding frozen generative robot policies.

NIDAR: NIR-Guided Intrinsic Decomposition for Scalable Scene-Agnostic LiDAR Intensity Reconstruction
NIDAR：基于近红外引导的内在分解用于可扩展的场景无关激光雷达强度重建
Abstract
LiDAR return intensity provides complementary surface-response cues for robotic perception and state estimation, yet many simulation pipelines omit it or reproduce it using reconstruction methods that require real intensity supervision and per-scene optimization. These requirements increase data-collection and fitting costs and limit reuse across simulated scenes. We present NIDAR, a feed-forward framework that synthesizes dense intensity-like observations from RGB appearance and simulator geometry. NIDAR combines pretrained pseudo-NIR translation, hierarchical intrinsic decomposition, geometry-aware modulation, and source-domain distribution calibration to transfer reflectance-related image cues to simulated point clouds. Its learned components are trained offline using Waymo data; their weights and calibration remain fixed during evaluation on Waymo and nuScenes. Deployment therefore requires neither target-scene intensity labels nor target-scene gradient-based fitting. The reported comparisons show competitive pixel-wise accuracy and favorable structural and perceptual fidelity against the evaluated reconstruction baselines. A controlled pseudo-NIR-versus-RGB diagnostic further shows that the pseudo-NIR prior is most beneficial when used through the paper-aligned reflectance-and-remapping route, rather than as a simple direct intensity regressor. We further integrate NIDAR with Unreal Engine 5, Isaac Sim, and a generative LiDAR pipeline. Two intensity-aware SLAM systems evaluated in two simulated indoor scenes suggest potential downstream utility, but do not constitute real-robot validation. NIDAR therefore offers a scalable intensity-synthesis interface for the evaluated settings; cross-wavelength, camera-configuration, embedded, and real-sensor validation remain future work.

激光雷达返回强度为机器人感知和状态估计提供了补充的表面响应线索，但许多仿真管道要么省略了它，要么使用需要真实强度监督和逐场景优化的重建方法来再现它。这些要求增加了数据收集和拟合成本，并限制了在模拟场景中的重用。我们提出了NIDAR，这是一个前馈框架，能够从RGB外观和模拟器几何体合成密集的类似强度的观测。NIDAR结合了预训练的伪近红外（pseudo-NIR）转换、分层内在分解、几何感知调制和源域分布校准，将与反射率相关的图像线索转移到模拟点云。其学习组件使用Waymo数据进行离线训练；在Waymo和nuScenes的评估过程中，其权重和校准保持固定。因此，部署不需要目标场景的强度标签或基于梯度的拟合。报告的比较显示，与评估的重建基线相比，NIDAR在像素级准确性、结构和感知保真度方面具有竞争力。通过控制的伪近红外与RGB诊断进一步表明，伪近红外先验在通过纸张对齐的反射率和重映射路径使用时最为有利，而不是作为简单的直接强度回归器。我们进一步将NIDAR与虚幻引擎5、Isaac Sim和生成性激光雷达管道集成。在两个模拟室内场景中评估的两个强度感知SLAM系统表明了潜在的下游应用，但并不构成真实机器人验证。因此，NIDAR为评估的设置提供了可扩展的强度合成接口；跨波长、相机配置、嵌入式和真实传感器验证仍然是未来的工作。

All Roads Lead to Rome: Flow-driven Multi-Anchor Exploration for Open-Environment Active 3D Mapping
条条大路通罗马：基于流驱动的多锚点探索用于开放环境的主动3D映射
Abstract
To advance the development of embodied intelligence, Open-Environment Active 3D Mapping has attracted increasing attention, aiming to perform a long-horizon and shortest trajectory exploration for reconstructing unseen scenarios. Since only limited information about unseen environments is available, methods built on the closed-set assumption, i.e., assuming that the test environments are similar to those seen during training, cannot generalize satisfactorily. In existing active mapping methods, long-horizon exploration is often guided by predicting a coarse long-range goal and then converting it into an executable path. However, this stage is usually formulated as single-point prediction. Under partial observability, the same local observation may correspond to multiple plausible exploration directions, making such deterministic prediction prone to brittle decisions and degraded performance in unseen scenarios. Our experiments further verify that this is a key factor underlying their weak generalization. To address this issue, we reformulate long-horizon target prediction as conditional multimodal anchor generation using Conditional Flow Matching.Instead of predicting a single goal, our method learns a conditional distribution over coarse exploration anchors from the current mapping state. These anchors are first converted into executable candidate paths through obstacle-aware planning. We then apply exploration-mode clustering to compress geometrically similar trajectories and reduce candidate redundancy. Finally, a hierarchical selection module selects the most promising mode and reranks paths within it to produce the final executable trajectory.

为了推动具身智能的发展，开放环境主动3D映射引起了越来越多的关注，旨在执行长时间跨度和最短轨迹的探索，以重建未见场景。由于对未见环境的信息有限，基于封闭集假设的方法，即假设测试环境与训练期间看到的环境相似，无法令人满意地进行泛化。在现有的主动映射方法中，长时间跨度的探索通常通过预测一个粗略的远程目标来引导，然后将其转换为可执行路径。然而，这一阶段通常被表述为单点预测。在部分可观测性下，相同的局部观察可能对应多个合理的探索方向，使得这种确定性预测容易导致脆弱的决策和在未见场景中的性能下降。我们的实验进一步验证了这是其弱泛化能力的一个关键因素。为了解决这个问题，我们将长时间跨度目标预测重新表述为条件多模态锚点生成，使用条件流匹配（Conditional Flow Matching）。我们的算法不是预测单一目标，而是从当前映射状态学习关于粗略探索锚点的条件分布。这些锚点首先通过考虑障碍物的规划转换为可执行的候选路径。然后，我们应用探索模式聚类来压缩几何相似的轨迹并减少候选冗余。最后，一个分层选择模块选择最有前景的模式，并在其中重新排序路径，以生成最终的可执行轨迹。实验表明，我们的方法在开放环境中提高了泛化能力和重建效率。

AeroManip-VLA: Scalable Vision-Language-Action Learning for Aerial Manipulation with RL-Generated Demonstrations
AeroManip-VLA：用于空中操作的可扩展视觉-语言-动作学习与强化学习生成的示范
Abstract
Aerial manipulators extend robotic manipulation into 3D workspaces that are difficult for ground-based robots to access, creating new opportunities for general-purpose manipulation. However, extending Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models to aerial robots introduces distinct challenges due to the tight coupling between manipulation and flight, continuously changing observations, and safety-critical physical interactions. These challenges demand diverse training data and systematic policy evaluation, yet collecting demonstrations and evaluating policies directly on physical aerial platforms are costly, difficult to scale, and hard to repeat under controlled conditions. We present AeroManip-VLA, a scalable benchmark for aerial VLA data generation and policy evaluation. AeroManip-VLA provides a GPU-accelerated simulation framework with low-level payload-aware flight and manipulation control in massively parallel environments. Building on this framework, we combine reusable reinforcement learning policies with expert task rules to automatically generate demonstrations without human teleoperation across diverse objects, environments, and randomized initial conditions. The generated data include basic skills such as grasping and placing, as well as long-horizon tasks that require both navigation and manipulation. We further introduce automated event labeling and trajectory categorization to filter demonstrations. These mechanisms enable fine-grained analysis of task progress, behavioral outcomes, and safety-related failures. Finally, we evaluate a range of imitation learning and VLA baselines across different task settings, revealing their performance characteristics and failure modes. Together, AeroManip-VLA enables scalable aerial manipulation data generation, structured trajectory analysis, and systematic VLA evaluation in simulation prior to real-world deployment.

Track-and-Complete: Learning Humanoid Skills from a Single Failed Human Video
追踪与完成：从单个失败的人类视频中学习类人技能
Abstract
Learning humanoid skills from videos typically requires a successful human demonstration, which often demands custom data collection. Although failures have traditionally been treated only as negative examples in robot learning, they can still reveal a usable trajectory prefix before the task fails, as well as the intended outcome. To leverage this information from a failed-attempt video, we propose TRACC, a pipeline that imitates the useful portion of the motion trajectory and then completes the task based on the inferred task outcome. The usable motion prefix serves as prior knowledge until the failure occurs, after which the task-completion reward guides the policy to learn the intended task goal without requiring a successful task trajectory. We evaluate our method on six in-the-wild failed human tasks from the Oops! dataset. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for learning from failed attempts when no successful demonstration is available. Thus, these findings establish failed human videos as a viable source of supervision for humanoid skill learning.

ComManip: Overfitting Manipulation Policies to Comfortable Regions
ComManip：将过拟合操控策略调整至舒适区域
Abstract
Training robot manipulation policies relies on costly robot demonstrations, making large-scale data collection impractical. Meanwhile, to improve policy generalization, existing approaches seek greater diversity in visual observations by varying object placements, viewpoints, and robot configurations during data collection. However, under a limited demonstration budget, this strategy forces the policy to model diverse visual observations, providing insufficient supervision to learn reliable observation-action correspondences under similar local conditions. Our study reveals that policies trained under this strategy achieve lower task success rates than those trained within a compact, visually and kinematically stable region. We refer to these stable regions as comfortable manipulation regions. To exploit this finding, we propose ComManip, a learning paradigm that specializes manipulation policies to comfortable manipulation regions. During inference, ComManip repositions the mobile base until the detected target center enters the familiar image-space range estimated from comfortable-region demonstrations. It then executes the same manipulation policy, enabling effective manipulation across diverse target locations. We conduct extensive experiments across multiple manipulation tasks, demonstration budgets, and policy families including ACT, $\pi_{0.5}$, RDT, OpenVLA-OFT, and SmolVLA. The results demonstrate that ComManip improves task success by roughly 20 percentage points or more across different policy architectures in large workspaces under limited demonstration budgets, suggesting that specializing manipulation policies to comfortable regions provides a more data-efficient learning paradigm for manipulation.

训练机器人操控策略依赖于昂贵的机器人演示，这使得大规模数据收集变得不切实际。同时，为了提高策略的泛化能力，现有方法通过在数据收集过程中改变物体摆放、视角和机器人配置，寻求视觉观察的更大多样性。然而，在有限的演示预算下，这一策略迫使策略对多样的视觉观察进行建模，提供的监督不足以在相似的局部条件下学习可靠的观察-动作对应关系。我们的研究表明，在这种策略下训练的策略，其任务成功率低于在紧凑、视觉和运动学稳定区域内训练的策略。我们将这些稳定区域称为舒适操控区域。为了利用这一发现，我们提出了ComManip，一种专门为舒适操控区域定制操控策略的学习范式。在推理过程中，ComManip重新定位移动基座，直到检测到的目标中心进入从舒适区域演示估计的熟悉图像空间范围。然后，它执行相同的操控策略，从而在不同目标位置之间实现有效操控。我们在多个操控任务、演示预算和策略家族（包括ACT、$ ext{π}_{0.5}$、RDT、OpenVLA-OFT和SmolVLA）上进行了广泛实验。结果表明，在有限的演示预算下，ComManip在大工作空间中提高了约20个百分点或更多的任务成功率，建议将操控策略专门化为舒适区域提供了一种更为数据高效的操控学习范式。

Beyond Token Importance: Preserving Spatial Scaffolds for Efficient Vision-Language-Action Inference
超越标记重要性：保留空间支架以实现高效的视觉-语言-动作推理
Abstract
Existing VLA pruning strategies primarily select individual visual tokens according to task-level semantic relevance, while overlooking the spatial information required for robotic manipulation. To examine this limitation, we construct a simple Stride baseline that uniformly samples tokens along the flattened one-dimensional visual sequence, representing a purely geometric pruning strategy. Surprisingly, Stride outperforms semantic pruning and random pruning at certain pruning ratios, but collapses when the token budget is only slightly reduced. We characterize this phenomenon through the spatial coverage radius, defined as the largest spatial blind spot induced by the retained token set after pruning. Our analysis reveals a strong correlation between the spatial structure of retained tokens and task success, suggesting that reliable VLA pruning requires preserving not only task-relevant tokens but also the spatial scaffold of the scene. Motivated by this diagnosis, we propose GeoScaffold, a training-free visual token pruning method that partitions each image into spatial regions, allocates inter-region token budgets using task-relevance weights, and selects intra-region scaffold tokens via farthest point sampling to reduce the local coverage radius. On pi 0.5 and LIBERO, GeoScaffold retains only 20% of visual tokens while preserving a 93.2% average success rate, and achieves a 1.78 times prefill speedup over the unpruned baseline.

现有的视觉-语言-动作（VLA）剪枝策略主要根据任务级语义相关性选择单个视觉标记，而忽视了机器人操作所需的空间信息。为了检验这一局限性，我们构建了一个简单的Stride基线，该基线沿着展平的一维视觉序列均匀采样标记，代表了一种纯几何剪枝策略。令人惊讶的是，在某些剪枝比例下，Stride的表现优于语义剪枝和随机剪枝，但当标记预算稍微减少时，其性能却崩溃。我们通过空间覆盖半径来表征这一现象，该半径定义为在剪枝后保留的标记集所引起的最大空间盲点。我们的分析揭示了保留标记的空间结构与任务成功之间的强相关性，表明可靠的VLA剪枝不仅需要保留与任务相关的标记，还需要保留场景的空间支架。基于这一诊断，我们提出了GeoScaffold，一种无训练的视觉标记剪枝方法，该方法将每幅图像划分为空间区域，使用任务相关性权重分配区域间的标记预算，并通过最远点采样选择区域内的支架标记，以减少局部覆盖半径。在pi 0.5和LIBERO上，GeoScaffold仅保留20%的视觉标记，同时保持93.2%的平均成功率，并实现了比未剪枝基线快1.78倍的预填充速度。

All You Need Is Low Fidelity: Zero-Shot Sim-to-Real of Learned Robotic Fish Control
你所需要的只是低保真度：学习的机器人鱼控制的零-shot 模拟到现实
Abstract
Complex tasks for underwater robots remain limited by the capabilities of their controllers. Learning a better one for a soft, underactuated robotic fish trades simulator cost against fidelity. We show that an intentionally low-fidelity simulator is enough: a stateless, quasi-steady fluid model with no wake and no added-mass history suffices to learn a \emph{general}, closed-loop controller that transfers to hardware without tuning. Our platform is a soft, single-motor, tendon-driven fish whose policy observes only what the hardware can measure. A staged pipeline grounds the simulator in two independent identifications, fixing the tail dynamics and a stateless fluid model; the policy then acts through a band-limited rhythmic trajectory generator rather than commanding the tail directly. Deployed unchanged in an outdoor pool, a single policy performs closed-loop target reaching, disturbance rejection, and out-of-distribution target acquisition and tracking. The transfer rests on the constraint rather than the fidelity: the generator cannot leave the band over which the fluid was identified. This raises the question of how much of the physics can reside in the controller rather than in the simulator.

FACT: Fidelity-Aware Construction of Articulated Twins
FACT：关注保真度的关节双胞胎构建
Abstract
Visually plausible articulated assets may still fail during contact interactions or exhibit inaccurate motion. We present FACT (Fidelity-Aware Construction of Articulated Twins), an agentic framework that progressively constructs articulated twins to improve geometry, contact, and dynamic fidelity. The agent drives an evidence--diagnosis--revision loop on a shared editable representation, selecting measurements and model edits using quantitative feedback, while numerical tools execute and validate the updates. It reconstructs editable articulated geometry from images through feature planning, targeted measurements, and diagnostic refinement. On this reference, it repairs collision proxies through task-aware local repartitioning before fidelity-constrained compression. Finally, it constructs response models from passive-response videos, using simulation residuals to guide model revision and constrained physical parameter fitting. Experiments show that FACT improves geometric reconstruction over baselines, enables more reliable interaction with simpler collision proxies, and better reproduces held-out physical responses than direct parameter inference.

Predictive Safety Curricula for Robust Legged Locomotion
用于稳健腿部运动的预测安全课程
Abstract
Rare but consequential failures can persist in learned locomotion policies for legged robots even when average task performance is high, in part because standard curricula primarily adapt task difficulty rather than the distribution of safety-critical experience. We introduce Predictive Safety Curricula (PSC), a framework for allocating locomotion training experience using learned predictions of future safety cost. PSC trains a distributional safety critic from policy rollouts and uses its predictions to prioritize both terrain contexts and previously encountered randomized events. The resulting curriculum modifies the training distribution while leaving the task reward and policy-optimization loss unchanged. We evaluate PSC in controlled rough-terrain locomotion and in production locomotion systems. PSC improves reliability relative to standard terrain progression, advantage-based replay, and learning-progress curricula, with the largest gains on difficult terrain and under degraded observations. The same allocation principle transfers to two production locomotion stacks. On ANYmal-D hardware, PSC reduces shank-collision incidence by $63\%$ relative to the learning-progress curriculum across three matched training seeds, with a reduction in every seed. On a production stair-climbing platform, PSC eliminates observed shank collisions in the evaluated hardware trials. These results show that learned predictions of future safety cost can provide an effective signal for allocating training experience toward rare failure modes and improving locomotion reliability.

From Sky to Soil: A Morphing Aerial-Ground Robot for Seed Deployment
从天空到土壤：一种变形的空地机器人用于种子投放
Abstract
Aerial seed broadcasting can reach remote restoration sites, but provides limited control over seed placement within the soil. This paper presents a geometry-assisted, tri-functional morphing robot that combines aerial access, ground locomotion, and controlled-depth seed embedding in a fly-drive-plant architecture. After landing, the platform reconfigures into a four-wheeled planting configuration: an electronically coupled dual-motor drive folds the rear arms outward to form ground wheels, while a descending front tray engages the propulsion motors with a drill gear train. Reusing the propulsion motors for drilling eliminates a dedicated drill drive. The planting sequence forms a hole, dispenses a seed, and allows the vehicle to reposition on the ground or return to its flight configuration. Ground mobility supports repeated planting without requiring a separate flight between adjacent sites. A companion controller issues reconfiguration, tray, and seed-gate commands, while a dedicated autopilot handles flight control. The morphing and planting mechanisms are validated using a hardware prototype that demonstrates ground repositioning and seed embedding. This proof of concept establishes a hardware basis for aerial-ground seed embedding through coordinated reconfiguration and actuator reuse.

BCNav: Bearing-Conditioned Depth Policies for Sound Source Navigation
BCNav：基于方向条件的声音源导航深度策略
Abstract
The ability to navigate toward sound sources extends a robot's reach beyond its visual field, enabling response to auditory events in unknown environments. To equip robots with this capability, existing methods couple acoustic and visual information through joint audio-visual learning in acoustic simulators. However, acoustic simulation is both low-fidelity and expensive, producing a domain gap that prevents reliable real-world deployment, while the discrete action spaces inherited from grid-based simulators introduce an additional kinematic gap on physical robots. To alleviate these issues, we propose BCNav, a decoupled framework that separates the acoustic module from the learned navigation policy using direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation: an estimator provides a scalar bearing to the sound source, so the navigation policy only processes depth images and a bearing angle, two inputs whose domain gaps are well characterized. We collect shortest-path demonstrations with calibrated bearing noise injection and train the policy via imitation learning to output continuous velocity commands directly executable on ground robots. We demonstrate the method in simulation and on a physical robot, navigating unknown environments without any acoustic fine-tuning, prior mapping, or real-world audio data collection.

Multifunctional Locomotion Control of Multi-Jointed BURs with Swimming and gait Capabilities
具有游泳和步态能力的多关节生物仿生水下机器人多功能运动控制
Abstract
Multimodal biomimetic underwater robots (BURs) can conduct underwater tasks suitable for the environment. Combining the characteristics of aquatic organisms enables the swimming and leggedlocomotion required for underwater exploration. Locomotion control mechanism relies on rule-based behavior selection and the designer's discretion. This limits the robot's ability to acquire new behavioral capabilities to the predetermined range of behaviors. To address these challenges, we propose a mechanism and control system that enables the expression of multimodal locomotion capabilities from the same multi-jointed structure. A mechanism equipped with four leg-fins each having four axes is used. This controller achieves nonlinear behavior based on sensor modalities, rather than relying on predefined conditional rule-based on locomotion functions. This system was validated through both physical and simulation testing based on multiple sensor data and behavioral patterns. Utilizing a potential function in multimodal locomotion control was verified to enable transitions between two or three behaviors. Implementing the control method as a multimodal controller is expected to enhance its application in underwater exploration. Our project page is at https://tasada038.github.io/multi-jointed-bur/.

V2X-WAM: A Cooperative World Action Model for End-to-End Autonomous Driving
V2X-WAM：一种用于端到端自主驾驶的协作世界动作模型
Abstract
Vehicle-infrastructure cooperation can complement onboard sensing with broader and more informative observations of the traffic environment, providing valuable support for end-to-end autonomous driving. However, existing cooperative driving methods mainly exploit roadside information to enhance the representation of the current scene, while the future consequences of prospective driving actions are rarely modeled explicitly. This limits the ability of the planner to anticipate how its decisions may interact with the evolving traffic environment. To address this issue, we propose V2X-WAM, a cooperative world action model that tightly couples cooperative scene understanding, action generation, and future-world reasoning. V2X-WAM constructs a reliability-aware spatiotemporal representation from vehicle- and infrastructure-side observations, while compressing infrastructure information into a compact quantized message for efficient communication. Based on the resulting cooperative representation, a multimodal planner generates prospective trajectories, which explicitly condition future occupancy and dynamic-flow prediction. The predicted world consequences are then fed back to refine the planned trajectory, forming a closed interaction between action and future-world evolution. Experiments on a large-scale real-world cooperative driving dataset demonstrate that V2X-WAM consistently improves planning accuracy and safety over representative end-to-end cooperative driving methods, while achieving stronger future-world prediction and substantially lower communication overhead. Ablation studies further validate the effectiveness of the proposed design.

Adversarially Robust Geometric Safety Certificates for Nonholonomic Robots Against Maneuvering Obstacles
针对机动障碍物的非完整机器人对抗性鲁棒几何安全证书
Abstract
Safe navigation against obstacles that can actively maneuver within bounded capabilities remains challenging: robust control barrier function methods typically treat obstacle actions as generic disturbances, while differential-game approaches are computationally expensive for online navigation. We propose an adversarially robust geometric certificate that accounts for the worst-case effect of admissible obstacle maneuvers directly in the safe-set geometry through a closed-form contraction of the certificate parameters. The construction exploits a structural property of line-of-sight (LoS) certificates: the robot and obstacle actions enter the certificate through a common state-dependent geometric gain. This gain cancels in the worst-case comparison, reducing the differential game to a direct comparison between obstacle maneuvering capability and the weaker of the robot's longitudinal and steering authorities. Instantiated on the parabolic certificate, the construction yields Adversarially Robust Dynamic Parabolic Control Barrier Functions (AR-DPCBF), for which we establish sufficient conditions for forward invariance of the contracted safe set against all admissible obstacle maneuvers under kinematic bicycle dynamics with bounded inputs. When the obstacle capability is unknown, a sliding-window estimator supplies a high-probability upper bound, allowing the guarantee to be retained with the corresponding coverage probability. We further formulate soft and buffered variants to recover feasibility in dense environments. Simulations across obstacle capabilities, densities, and capability mismatch show substantial reductions in barrier violations and collisions and demonstrate that pointwise robustification of the barrier derivative cannot substitute for contraction of its geometry.

ReF-HIL: Shaping the Critic around Human Action Neighborhoods for Efficient Human-in-the-Loop Reinforcement Learning
ReF-HIL：围绕人类行动邻域塑造评论者以实现高效的人机协同强化学习
Abstract
Human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning (HIL-RL) offers a promising route to efficient training of robotic manipulation policies by combining autonomous learning with human demonstrations and online corrections. However, insufficient use of successful human experience in value learning prolongs costly real-world training, while persistent imitation penalties can limit value-driven policy improvement. To address these limitations, we propose ReF-HIL, an efficient HIL-RL framework that uses human guidance to accelerate the learning process. Human-Reference-Guided Value Shaping learns an independent value reference from successful human experience to guide online value learning, while incorporating local corrective feedback. A Human Action Fence defines a learned human-action neighborhood, allowing value-driven optimization for better performance without imitation penalties inside while constraining policy and value updates outside. Experiments on five diverse and challenging real-world manipulation tasks demonstrate improved overall learning efficiency and higher success rates compared with the evaluated baselines. Specifically, ReF-HIL reaches 90% autonomous success in only 18-63 minutes of active training and achieves final success rates of 91.7-100%. These results highlight the potential of human-guided reinforcement learning to acquire reliable manipulation skills efficiently in the real world.

VLAs combine pretrained vision-language representations with action generation to enable language-guided control across diverse tasks, becoming a mainstream paradigm in embodied intelligence. However, multiple studies have reported VLA's substantial declines in task success under camera shifts, revealing a key vulnerability that limits reliable deployment. To address this vulnerability, existing methods collect paired observations of the same scene from different viewpoints to fine-tune the VLA or train visual adaptation modules. Unfortunately, they require additional data collection and VLA training costs. In this paper, we first identify \emph{cross-view coordination breakdown} under external camera shifts: the robot may rely too heavily on wrist-view cues and consequently execute subtasks in the wrong order when losing global view. Motivated by this, we propose CoRe-VLA, a plug-and-play framework requiring neither additional multi-view data collection nor VLA fine-tuning, which can incorporate with exsiting VLAs. It reconstructs a scene point cloud and renders the observation from the VLA's training viewpoint to restore cross-view coordination. In CoRe-VLA, Render-to-Camera (R2C) Restoration reduces rendering-induced visual degradation, while Execution-Trajectory-Conditioned Alignment (ETCA) reduces robot idle time and mitigates motion conflicts during asynchronous execution. Experiments on 5 real-robot tasks, LIBERO-100 and LIBERO-Plus demonstrate CoRe-VLA substantially improves task success across mainstream VLAs under camera shifts. For example, CoRe-VLA raises PI0.5's success rate from 13.3% to 83.3% at a 1.6m camera shift in real-robot environment.

视觉语言代理（VLA）结合了预训练的视觉-语言表示与动作生成，使得在多样化任务中实现语言引导控制，成为具身智能的主流范式。然而，多项研究报告指出，VLA在相机位移下的任务成功率显著下降，揭示了限制可靠部署的关键脆弱性。为了解决这一脆弱性，现有方法通过从不同视角收集同一场景的配对观察来微调VLA或训练视觉适应模块。不幸的是，这些方法需要额外的数据收集和VLA训练成本。在本文中，我们首先识别出在外部相机位移下的“跨视角协调崩溃”：当失去全局视角时，机器人可能过于依赖腕部视角线索，从而导致子任务执行顺序错误。基于此，我们提出了CoRe-VLA，一个即插即用的框架，不需要额外的多视角数据收集或VLA微调，可以与现有的VLA结合。它重建场景点云，并从VLA的训练视角渲染观察，以恢复跨视角协调。在CoRe-VLA中，渲染到相机（Render-to-Camera, R2C）恢复减少了渲染引起的视觉退化，而执行轨迹条件对齐（Execution-Trajectory-Conditioned Alignment, ETCA）减少了机器人空闲时间并缓解了异步执行中的运动冲突。在5个真实机器人任务、LIBERO-100和LIBERO-Plus上的实验表明，CoRe-VLA在相机位移下显著提高了主流VLA的任务成功率。例如，CoRe-VLA将PI0.5在1.6米相机位移下的成功率从13.3%提高到83.3%。

Disentangling Spurious Correlations in Vision-Language-Action Models via Predicting Domain-Invariant Latent Lookahead
通过预测领域不变的潜在前瞻性来解开视觉-语言-动作模型中的虚假相关性
Abstract
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models remain brittle under visual distribution shifts, often relying on spurious correlations tied to domain-specific factors rather than task-relevant structure. We propose Domain-Invariant Latent Lookahead (DILL), a representation-learning framework that mitigates shortcut learning in VLA policies. Our key idea is to supervise policies with domain-invariant future latents learned from domain-transformed trajectory data. A Task-Domain Encoder is trained with contrastive objectives and Gaussian disentanglement regularization to separate task-relevant structure from domain-specific visual variation. The learned encoder then provides future latents for VLA policy learning through lookahead prediction and domain disentanglement, encouraging the policy to focus on task-relevant structure rather than incidental visual factors. Counterfactual task-view evaluations show that DILL reduces shortcut reliance, while LIBERO-Plus evaluations demonstrate improved visual robustness, with 69.1% average success, 11.4 percentage points above the strongest baseline. Real-world manipulation experiments further support DILL's applicability beyond controlled simulation. Complementary latent-space diagnostics show that these behavioral gains are accompanied by representations that better preserve task-consistent structure while suppressing domain-specific variation.

视觉-语言-动作（VLA）模型在视觉分布变化下仍然脆弱，通常依赖于与特定领域因素相关的虚假相关性，而非与任务相关的结构。我们提出了领域不变潜在前瞻性（DILL），这是一种表征学习框架，旨在减轻VLA策略中的捷径学习。我们的关键思想是通过从领域转换的轨迹数据中学习的领域不变未来潜在变量来监督策略。一个任务-领域编码器通过对比目标和高斯解耦正则化进行训练，以将与任务相关的结构与领域特定的视觉变化分离。学习到的编码器随后通过前瞻性预测和领域解耦为VLA策略学习提供未来潜在变量，鼓励策略关注与任务相关的结构，而非偶然的视觉因素。反事实任务视图评估表明，DILL减少了对捷径的依赖，而LIBERO-Plus评估则展示了视觉鲁棒性的提升，平均成功率为69.1%，比最强基线高出11.4个百分点。现实世界的操作实验进一步支持DILL在受控仿真之外的适用性。互补的潜在空间诊断表明，这些行为提升伴随着更好地保留任务一致结构的表征，同时抑制领域特定变化。我们的项目页面可访问 https://dill-vla.github.io/。

EgoHumanoid-V2: Human-to-Humanoid Transfer of Coordinated Whole-Body Skills for Loco-Manipulation
EgoHumanoid-V2：协调全身技能在人类与类人机器人之间的转移用于运动操控
Abstract
Human demonstrations capture diverse scenes and rich whole-body skills without requiring robot teleoperation. Prior work on egocentric transfer has emphasized scene generalization in loco-manipulation under decoupled control, leaving direct transfer of coordinated whole-body skills less explored. We present EgoHumanoid-V2, the first egocentric human-to-humanoid skill transfer framework for coordinated whole-body loco-manipulation. At its core, coarse-to-fine action alignment combines kinematic reference correction with dynamics-aware refinement. It improves end-effector pose accuracy while preserving whole-body coordination. We also use robot-arm rendering and training-time image augmentation to reduce the visual embodiment gap and improve viewpoint robustness. On four real-world tasks, vision-language-action (VLA) policies trained on aligned human data show zero-shot skill transfer without target-task robot demonstrations. Task scores are comparable to those of policies trained on teleoperation data at a lower collection cost. These results support human data as direct skill supervision.

Recovering the View: Benchmarking Physical Active Vision for Occlusion Recovery in Robotic Manipulation
恢复视角：基于物理主动视觉的机器人操作遮挡恢复基准测试
Abstract
Physical active vision allows robots to change their viewpoint when task-relevant observations become unreliable, yet existing manipulation benchmarks provide limited support for studying how policies recover from occlusion during execution. We introduce BAVO-Bench (Bimanual Active Vision under Occlusion), a bimanual active-vision benchmark that systematically controls external visibility through Clean, Stage Occlusion, and Random-time Occlusion conditions, enabling evaluation of both manipulation performance and active visual recovery. Building on this setting, we present A-FAR (Active Future-Aware Recovery), an active-vision policy for joint viewpoint and manipulation control. A-FAR represents moving-camera observations in a unified robot-centric 3D frame and distills relational structure together with its future evolution from a pretrained 4D model, providing the policy with future-aware geometric guidance without requiring future observations at deployment. Experiments across multiple manipulation tasks show that A-FAR improves robustness to both structured and temporally shifted occlusions while maintaining strong performance under clean observations.

Remember What You Did: Action-History Memory with Dual-Expert Denoising for Long-Horizon Vision-Language-Action Policies
记住你所做的：基于双专家去噪的行动历史记忆用于长时间视-语言-行动策略
Abstract
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have driven rapid progress in robotic manipulation, demonstrating strong fine-grained control and promising performance on long-horizon tasks. However, many existing VLAs lack explicit access to interaction history, making them vulnerable to perceptual aliasing: similar current observations and robot states at different task stages may induce action ambiguity and lower success rate. Existing methods incorporate temporal or progress cues through feature conditioning, action-prior modification, or sampling guidance. However, methods that jointly fine-tune memory modules and the base VLA incur additional policy-training costs, motivating the separation of trainable history-conditioned steering from frozen base-policy refinement. We propose ActMem-VLA, a dual-expert handover architecture that augments a frozen, fine-tuned VLA with a memory plugin comprising a Mamba-based memory module and a lightweight PreAction Expert (PAE). Specifically, Mamba encodes executed-action history into memory that conditions PAE alongside current context. With these inputs, PAE steers task progression during early, high-noise denoising, then passes the partially denoised action to the frozen Action Expert (AE) to refine action details during the remaining low-noise steps. The fine-tuned base VLA remains frozen throughout training, while only the Mamba module and PAE are jointly optimized. On LIBERO-Mem, ActMem-VLA achieves 80.8\% average success across all ten tasks, compared with 65.2\% for $\pi_{0.5}$ and 49.5\% for MemoryVLA, while introducing only 3.45\% additional parameters. Across four real-world tasks, it improves the average success rate over $\pi_{0.5}$ by 28.8\%.

视-语言-行动（VLA）模型在机器人操作中推动了快速进展，展现出强大的细粒度控制能力和在长时间任务中的良好表现。然而，许多现有的VLA缺乏对交互历史的明确访问，使其容易受到感知混淆的影响：在不同任务阶段，相似的当前观察和机器人状态可能导致行动模糊性并降低成功率。现有方法通过特征条件、行动优先级修改或采样指导来结合时间或进展线索。然而，联合微调记忆模块和基础VLA的方法会产生额外的策略训练成本，这促使我们将可训练的历史条件引导与冻结的基础策略优化分开。我们提出了ActMem-VLA，一种双专家交接架构，增强了一个冻结的、经过微调的VLA，结合了一个基于Mamba的记忆模块和一个轻量级的预行动专家（PAE）。具体而言，Mamba将执行的行动历史编码到记忆中，以此为PAE提供条件，同时结合当前上下文。利用这些输入，PAE在早期的高噪声去噪过程中引导任务进展，然后将部分去噪的行动传递给冻结的行动专家（AE），以在剩余的低噪声步骤中细化行动细节。经过微调的基础VLA在训练过程中保持冻结状态，只有Mamba模块和PAE是联合优化的。在LIBERO-Mem上，ActMem-VLA在所有十个任务中实现了80.8%的平均成功率，而$ ext{π}_{0.5}$为65.2%，MemoryVLA为49.5%，同时仅引入了3.45%的额外参数。在四个真实世界任务中，其平均成功率比$ ext{π}_{0.5}$提高了28.8%。

Battery-Aware Reinforcement Learning for Aggressive Quadrotor Flight
电池感知的强化学习用于激进的四旋翼飞行
Abstract
Agile flight tasks such as drone racing and pursuit-evasion require strong acceleration and precise turns, but the available thrust changes as the battery discharges and voltage drops under load. Conservative command limits make this variation easier to tolerate, at the cost of unused performance. We investigate how learned controllers can use that additional thrust while retaining the flight controller's voltage compensation and rate control. Our training simulator couples an identified load-transient battery model to rotor dynamics and firmware saturation. The feedforward policy receives filtered voltage during both training and deployment. Controlled ablations distinguish the benefit of a larger thrust-command range from that of voltage information. On a 38 g Crazyflie Brushless, the resulting policy reduces circle tracking error by 49% relative to stock-authority RL at 3.84 m/s, while preserving easy-task precision. Mean 20-lap race time decreases from 106.22 s to 95.24 s. Compared with a voltage-blind policy with the same increased authority, hardware error and race time are lower by 15.3% and 4.5%, respectively. In simulation, replacing the policy's voltage input with a recording from a different battery condition worsens hard-circle tracking, with a smaller, voltage-dependent effect in racing. Together, these results show where a simple voltage input complements existing actuator compensation in aggressive learned flight.

Taming VLAs under Robot Execution Errors: Self-Compensation and Stress Testing
在机器人执行错误下驯服视觉-语言-动作（VLA）：自我补偿与压力测试
Abstract
Vision-language-action (VLA) policies often fail when a robot's executed motion deviates from their commanded action. Such execution errors arise from the robot's mechanics and operating conditions, such as wear and payload changes. We propose self-compensating VLA, a deployment-time adaptation method that enables a VLA policy to pre-compensate for the robot's execution errors when generating commands. Without task rewards or labels, it updates the policy online using the residual between the action commanded by a VLA and the motion executed by the robot. To stress-test VLA robustness across execution conditions that are impractical to cover with physical robots alone, we introduce RoboStress, a controlled simulation benchmark. It combines established joint-level models of friction, backlash, compliance, and gravity-compensation error into seven deployment scenarios whose execution errors depend on the robot's state and motion history. On RoboStress, self-compensating VLA achieves higher average task success than both the base policies and methods that build in robustness during training. On two physical robot arms with different usage histories, it raises the average task success rate by more than 30 percentage points on each arm, and the gains extend to objects not seen in the task demonstrations.

DROM: A Language-Guided Diffusion Framework for Multi-Skill Robotic Manipulation
DROM：一种语言引导的扩散框架用于多技能机器人操作
Abstract
Learning robust manipulation policies for diverse, long-horizon tasks from limited demonstrations remains a fundamental challenge in robotics. We present DROM, a language-guided diffusion framework that enables robots to learn, represent, and compose multiple manipulation skills within a single generative policy. DROM leverages Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs) to augment a small set of expert demonstrations into expressive multi-skill datasets, substantially reducing data collection while improving spatial generalization beyond the demonstrated workspace. Building upon Motion Planning Diffusion (MPD), we extend the diffusion architecture to support language-conditioned multi-skill trajectory generation through cross-attention, allowing a single model to generate skill-consistent motions for a diverse set of manipulation primitives, including orientation-sensitive behaviors that are difficult to design using conventional motion planning or hard-coded controllers. For long-horizon manipulation, a large language model decomposes high-level operator requests into executable sequences of skills, enabling natural language interaction and autonomous task execution. We validate DROM on a Franka Emika Panda robot, a FANUC CRX25ia robot, and in MuJoCo simulation across a wide range of manipulation tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that DROM outperforms Motion Planning Diffusion and Behavior Cloning baselines, achieves robust multi-skill generalization, and composes learned skills to reliably execute long-horizon manipulation tasks from natural language instructions using only a limited number of human demonstrations.

Encore: Few-Shot Agentic Discovery of Manipulation Strategies
Encore：少样本自主发现操控策略
Abstract
Coding agents can now write, run, and debug programs with little human help. Robot tasks, however, are usually specified by a sentence that leaves out how to grasp, in what order to make contact, and what the result should look like, and an agent given only the sentence must find these details by trial and error. We introduce ENCORE, which gives the agent a few demonstrations as evidence to read rather than as training data. A deterministic builder distills each demonstration into a pack of multi-view keyframes, gripper events, frame strips, and the full trajectory. A coding agent studies the pack, writes a policy program against a fixed perception and action API, refines it iteratively over a few development rollouts, and freezes it before a sealed evaluation that never reveals the success signal. On LIBERO-PRO, the agent's first program already succeeds in half of the perturbed tasks with demonstrations and in one task without them, and the frozen programs outperform the strongest prior agentic system run with the same language model (96.3% against 89.3%). On RoboDojo tasks whose instructions leave the goal unstated, no program succeeds without demonstrations. ENCORE also runs on a real bimanual robot, learning cube handover and cup inversion from five demonstrations each.

Towards Spatial Perception for Heterogeneous Robot Collaboration in Subterranean Mining Environments
面向异构机器人协作的地下矿山环境空间感知研究
Abstract
The autonomous extraction of deep mineral deposits in abandoned underground mines is fundamentally a multi-agent integration problem. No single platform simultaneously offers the mobility to traverse kilometers of degraded drifts and the sensing payload required to characterize an ore body. This article presents the onboard perception pipeline that bridges two heterogeneous agents within the PERSEPHONE autonomous mining mission. Which consist of a lightweight Explorer robot that maps an unknown mine and generates a 3D scene graph of inspection targets, by running a zero-shot, vision-language semantic segmentation stack that detects mineral deposits directly from natural-language prompts. The map and the graph are then handed to a second Inspector robot, which carries an advanced sensing payload and uses them to plan close-range inspection viewpoints. We detail the complete pipeline, with emphasis on the geometric abstraction that turns raw detections into actionable inspection targets, spanning per-view bounding-box generation, cross-view box merging, plane fitting, and polygon extraction, and we report an extensive field validation in a subterranean test facility and in an active magnesite mine, covering both iron-vein and magnesite mineralization under realistic, perceptually degraded conditions.

FP2: Equipping Robotic Foundation Models with Force Control
FP2：为机器人基础模型配备力控制
Abstract
Robotic foundation models (RFMs) are increasingly capable of general-purpose manipulation, yet reliable physical interaction remains challenging in contact-rich settings. We present FP2, a lightweight downstream interface that equips task-adapted RFMs with explicit force control while preserving their action-generation capability. FP2 adopts an action-regulation decomposition: the task-adapted RFM serves as a foundation policy responsible for task-level action generation, while a high-frequency force control policy focuses solely on interaction regulation. To condition force regulation on the ongoing manipulation, FP2 compresses foundation-policy contextual representations and combines them with wrench and proprioceptive histories to predict structured force-control parameters. We evaluate FP2 with four RFM backbones across four real-world contact-rich manipulation tasks. FP2 consistently improves task performance and force regulation quality over the corresponding foundation policies, while comparing favorably with representative force-aware and force-control baselines. Ablations further show that foundation-policy context and physical feedback are complementary for effective force regulation, while preserving foundation-policy action generation improves both efficiency and novel-object generalization.

Anisotropic Representations Improve Planning in JEPA World Models
各向异性表示改善JEPA世界模型中的规划
Abstract
Latent world models learn action-conditioned dynamics in representation space and often score candidate actions by Euclidean distance to a goal representation. Joint training typically regularizes the representation to prevent collapse, but the resulting representation geometry also determines how terminal errors are weighted during planning. We show that accurate prediction and noncollapsed representations do not guarantee a task-aligned latent planning cost: isotropic Gaussian regularization can induce a geometry that ranks feasible outcomes differently from the task cost. To address this mismatch, we introduce AnisoWM with $\Lambda$Reg, which replaces the fixed isotropic Gaussian target with a learnable diagonal covariance under fixed-trace and anisotropy constraints. The prediction objective, predictor architecture, and Euclidean planner remain unchanged; the target is used only during training. Our analysis characterizes the prediction-driven allocation of target variance, its dependence on the training distribution, and the conditions under which the induced metric reduces planning regret. Across four visual control environments, AnisoWM improves planning success over LeWorldModel in all four. Its latent planning cost also shows better agreement with task outcomes.

Surgical Master Console Using General-Purpose Robot Arms and a Separable Articulated Distal Interface: Porcine In-Vivo Evaluation
使用通用机器人臂和可分离关节远端接口的外科主控台：猪体内评估
Abstract
High-performance surgical master consoles offer intuitive articulated manipulation but are expensive and difficult to reproduce, while accessible commercial haptic devices lack built-in interfaces for surgical wrist articulation and continuous grasp. We present a laparoscopic master in which general-purpose robot manipulators provide the programmable base and surgical-specific interaction is concentrated in a separable distal adapter. Each 6-DoF arm carries a custom 2-DoF direct-drive wrist, continuous grasp sensing, and clutch-based workspace management; the complete bimanual hardware costs approximately US$5,500, below common bimanual commercial haptic references. To support sustained hand-guided use, we characterize current scaling, gravity, and break-away friction and use them for posture-dependent gravity compensation and motion-gated assistance, reducing continuous actuation and thermal loading. A common master state drives either Isaac Sim or an RCM-constrained dual-FR3 platform. Master-state publication to FR3 target update adds at most 8 ms, and tip tracking shows 0.31-0.66 mm mean delay-aligned residuals. In a porcine cholecystectomy experiment, five common operator-side metrics and hand/tip-speed distributions were compared descriptively with human in-vivo telemetry from 120 clinical Versius recordings of 99 cholecystectomy procedures; no interruption originated from the master console, and no abnormal clinical signs were recorded during the 7-day postoperative observation period.

Contact-Adaptive Robotic Ultrasound Probe Control for Tissue Exploration and Continuous Task-Relevant Visualization Using Robot-Free Image-Motion Demonstration
用于组织探索和连续任务相关可视化的接触自适应机器人超声探头控制，基于无机器人图像运动演示
Abstract
Robotic ultrasound commonly targets standardized views, predefined scanning protocols, or expert-scan reproduction. We target a different role: while a clinician performs the primary procedure, a robotic assistant maintains a clinician-selected view so that changing tissue remains observable. We present contact-adaptive robotic ultrasound monitoring derived from robot-free demonstrations. Sonologger clamps a six-axis inertial sensor to the clinician-operated probe and records synchronized ultrasound and probe-frame relative rotations without a robot, camera, or tracker. Rather than imitating trajectories, the recordings measure which probe axis and sign the clinician uses to correct an image offset. A measured image latency is removed before still-move-still segmentation yields relative-rotation labels; translation is excluded from control because of inertial drift. These measurements parameterize the Demonstration-Informed Image-Motion Controller (DIMC), an interpretable, non-learned controller combined with beam-axis force regulation and an independent safety supervisor with 5 N forced retreat. On a dynamic bladder phantom, DIMC acquired and held a task-relevant view in 7 of 7 blind, pose-paired trials versus 1 of 7 for a static hold (McNemar p = 0.031), and retained the view during syringe-driven hydro-distension while the supervisor bounded the force excursion. The framework offers an operational representation of ultrasound context for contact-adaptive intraoperative monitoring; clinical validation remains future work.

Waggle-Dance-Inspired Multi-UAV Recruitment with RGB and Synthetic Event Vision
受摇舞启发的多无人机招募：RGB与合成事件视觉的比较
Abstract
The honeybee waggle dance motivates a communication mechanism in which one agent's motion guides the subsequent work of other agents. For aerial robots, realizing this mechanism requires a link from observed movement to a complete message, local task selection, and execution. This paper presents a MuJoCo system for comparing RGB and synthetic event vision within that link. One performer broadcasts six-bit task offers to one to three observers, each of which independently decodes both offers before selecting a task. The RGB receiver extracts trajectories using sparse optical flow; the event receiver uses only local event support and packet timing. Both use a common motion alphabet and explicit null delimiters. Because event silence does not establish target visibility, the event version includes a physical acquisition motion and continuity-qualified null confirmation. In the nominal three-observer case, each version produced 12 complete message receptions, six completed work units, and reassignment after withdrawal of a depleted task. Six paired functional cases produced the same message and work counts; an additional event-stream dropout case preserved inactivity of the affected observer. Replaying 42,060,633 recorded synthetic events reproduced all 12 event-message payloads and completion timestamps. Total nominal mission time was 493.80 s for RGB and 517.40 s for events, with the difference dominated by the event acquisition schedule. These fixed simulation results establish functional feasibility across two receiver implementations, rather than a sensor-performance advantage or hardware validation.

Learning Social Navigation from Internet Videos in the Policy State Space
从互联网视频中学习政策状态空间中的社会导航
Abstract
Training robust social-navigation policies requires simulators with diverse scene layouts, terrain, and human motion, but constructing such environments and specifying pedestrian behavior is costly. We propose an efficient pipeline that converts ordinary monocular walking videos directly into closed-loop social-navigation training environments in the policy's state space. Our key observation is that local social navigation primarily depends on two types of information: where the robot can traverse and how nearby pedestrians move. We therefore represent the static scene as a metric traversability map, which can be rigidly transformed under counterfactual robot motion, while directly replaying the pedestrian trajectories recovered from the video over time. This abstraction allows us to define the forward dynamics directly in the policy's state space and efficiently simulate counterfactual robot states without reconstructing or rendering photorealistic observations. The resulting policy achieves 81.2% success in the independent Arena benchmark, compared with 75.0% for the strongest baseline, and succeeds in 19/20 real-robot trials without policy fine-tuning.

Video2STL: Grounding VLM-Generated Temporal Specifications for Robot Learning
Video2STL：为机器人学习奠定VLM生成的时间规范
Abstract
Video-based policy learning is particularly promising, as it illustrates target behaviors without requiring action annotations or embodiment-matched demonstrations. A central challenge is deciding what information should be transferred from the video to the robot. Existing approaches commonly convert visual observations into scalar similarity or value signals, or ask foundation models to directly generate reward code. These approaches can make the temporal structure of a task difficult to inspect, ground, and reuse. We present Video2STL, a framework that converts observation-only videos into parametric Signal Temporal Logic (STL) specifications and uses the resulting formal representation for robot learning. A vision-language model extracts an embodiment-independent semantic event trace and constructs a bank of symbolic temporal specifications. The model determines the task structure, while numerical predicate thresholds and temporal bounds are grounded from successful robot trajectories. For policy learning, we separate short- and long-timescale temporal information: short-horizon specifications provide dense rewards through rolling-window quantitative robustness, while a causal monitor over a retained long-horizon specification provides one-time progress rewards for valid temporal prefixes. The same representation supports cross-embodiment transfer from human or animal videos to robot control. Across four manipulation tasks, Video2STL achieves $85.8\%$ average success-once and $67.0\%$ success-at-end, compared with $81.5\%/59.5\%$ for native dense PPO and $65.0\%/42.3\%$ for Text2Reward; in quadruped locomotion, Qwen-3.8 and GPT-5.6-based Video2STL policies achieve $100\%$ success across velocities from $0.3$ to $2.1\,\mathrm{m/s}$ while remaining competitive in high-speed energy efficiency.

基于视频的策略学习特别有前景，因为它展示了目标行为而无需动作注释或与表现相匹配的演示。一个核心挑战是决定应从视频中转移哪些信息到机器人。现有的方法通常将视觉观察转换为标量相似性或价值信号，或者要求基础模型直接生成奖励代码。这些方法可能使任务的时间结构难以检查、奠定基础和重用。我们提出了Video2STL，一个将仅包含观察的视频转换为参数化信号时序逻辑（Signal Temporal Logic, STL）规范的框架，并利用生成的形式化表示进行机器人学习。视觉-语言模型提取与表现无关的语义事件轨迹，并构建符号时间规范库。该模型确定任务结构，而数值谓词阈值和时间界限则从成功的机器人轨迹中奠定基础。对于策略学习，我们将短时间尺度和长时间尺度的时间信息分开：短期规范通过滚动窗口定量鲁棒性提供密集奖励，而对保留的长期规范的因果监控则为有效的时间前缀提供一次性进展奖励。同一表示支持从人类或动物视频到机器人控制的跨表现转移。在四个操作任务中，Video2STL实现了$85.8\%$的平均一次成功率和$67.0\%$的最终成功率，而原生密集PPO的成功率为$81.5\%/59.5\%$，Text2Reward的成功率为$65.0\%/42.3\%$；在四足动物运动中，基于Qwen-3.8和GPT-5.6的Video2STL策略在速度范围从$0.3$到$2.1\, ext{m/s}$内实现了$100\%$的成功，同时在高速能效方面保持竞争力。项目网页： https://video2stl.github.io/ 。

RawVLA: Embodied Neural Image Signal Processor For Robotic Manipulation
RawVLA：用于机器人操作的具身神经图像信号处理器
Abstract
Vision-language-action (VLA) models typically operate on RGB images produced by a fixed camera image signal processor (ISP), leaving the imaging pipeline outside the learning and evaluation loop. We systematically examine the consequences of this overlooked design choice across five fundamental ISP dimensions: gain, sensor noise, chromatic response, tonal response, and bit depth. Our analysis reveals that RAW-to-RGB processing materially shapes both action prediction and manipulation success, with different ISP dimensions exerting substantially different effects. Guided by these findings, we introduce RawVLA, a streaming neural ISP that adaptively renders RAW observations for frozen VLA policies while concentrating its capacity on the imaging factors relevant to embodied behavior. We further present RawVLA-Bench, a RAW-domain manipulation benchmark to expose image processing as an explicit evaluation variable across clean and adverse acquisition conditions. Experiments on RawVLA-Bench show that RawVLA preserves performance under standard conditions while substantially improving robustness under degraded imaging, establishing adaptive RAW processing as an effective interface between physical cameras and embodied policies.

Wrench-ACT: Enhancing Robot Policies for Contact Rich Behavior Using Direct Wrench Control
Wrench-ACT：通过直接扭矩控制增强机器人在接触丰富行为中的策略
Abstract
While contact-rich manipulation requires deliberate regulation of interaction forces, recent approaches to robot manipulation learning predominantly represent actions as target positions or poses. Even methods that incorporate force sensing either use it solely as an observation or, when predicting forces as part of the output, rely on a hybrid force controller. In this paper, we propose an imitation learning policy that predicts wrenches as its sole action output for direct use by a pure force controller. Our studies suggest that force-domain imitation learning depends critically on data collection, with force-feedback teleoperation improving policy performance by capturing the operator's deliberate force regulation. Using Action Chunking with Transformers (ACT) as the base architecture, we train single-task models on bilateral wrench demonstrations and evaluate them on five contact-rich manipulation tasks. The wrench policy matches or outperforms position-based baselines across all tasks, with gains varying according to the degree of deliberate force regulation each task requires. Cross-condition ablations show that the bilateral data collection interface and the wrench action space each contribute independently to performance. To support further research, we will release over 1000 wrench-action demonstrations spanning these tasks on a companion website upon publication.

Risk-Aware Semantic Grounding for Trustworthy LLM-Based Robot Planning
面向可信赖的基于大语言模型的机器人规划的风险感知语义基础
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as high-level planners in robot navigation, but their outputs may become unreliable when instructions are ambiguous, unsupported by the environment, or semantically inconsistent. This paper presents a Risk-Aware Semantic Grounding framework for trustworthy LLM-based robot planning. Unlike existing LLM-based planners that primarily optimize plan generation, we formulate semantic grounding reliability as a multi-dimensional risk estimation problem. The proposed architecture explicitly models grounding uncertainty through ambiguity, hallucination and semantic-conflict risks before planning occurs, enabling the system to decide whether to execute the instruction, request clarification, or reject it. To evaluate the approach, we introduce TRUST-NAV, a benchmark containing both standard navigation tasks and risk-inducing instruction scenarios. Experimental results show that while conventional LLM planners achieve strong performance on valid navigation tasks, the proposed framework substantially improves ambiguity detection and semantic conflict rejection. These findings suggest that trustworthy robot planning should be evaluated not only by task completion, but also by the ability to recognize when execution should not occur.

RoboFin3D: A Sim-to-Real Platform for Robotic Surface Finishing
RoboFin3D：一种用于机器人表面抛光的仿真到现实平台
Abstract
Grinding and sanding are fundamental processes in industrial robotic surface finishing. However, physical trials are expensive and consume workpieces, making reproducible experiments difficult. We present RoboFin3D, a sim-to-real platform built on Isaac Sim and the Newton physics engine, that provides physics-based grinding and sanding simulation for cheap and repeatable robotic surface finishing experiments. RoboFin3D utilizes a signed distance field (SDF) to model the changing geometry of the workpiece, enabling contact computation, live updates and rendering without an intermediate mesh. It additionally uses a separate surface field to model progressive surface appearance change during sanding. We also introduce WeldGen, a weld sampling module, to generate weld beads on 8,918 real-world workpiece meshes for providing diverse simulation assets. The simulation parameters are calibrated on real experimental results and our evaluation demonstrates our simulation's fidelity against the real world. We also demonstrate that simulation-generated data can be used to improve the performance of perception models. Simulation-only fine-tuning of SAM2 improves IoU for segmentation of unsanded regions from 77.15% to 84.47%, while combined synthetic and real training reaches 97.41%.

RoboHarn-Evo: Evolving Hierarchical Physical Knowledge for Self-Improving Robotic Manipulation
RoboHarn-Evo：进化层次化物理知识以实现自我改进的机器人操控
Abstract
Vision-language models can coordinate long-horizon robot manipulation, yet successful task reasoning still depends on whether local physical interactions produce the intended effects. We study how repeated interaction can improve this capability without updating the base model. We introduce RoboHarn-Evo, a dual-loop harness that evolves Hierarchical Physical Knowledge (HPK) from physical experience. HPK couples two levels of reusable knowledge: Task Knowledge captures which subtask should be executed and when it is complete, while Action Knowledge captures object-relative geometric strategies and their physical effects. During execution, the agent retrieves knowledge at the corresponding decision level and grounds it in the current scene under the task goal. Across episodes, physical feedback is used to revise historical knowledge, update its applicability, and organize reusable entries for subsequent retrieval. Experiments on RMBench show that HPK improves average success by up to 24.2 percentage points across different agent models. With 80 interaction rollouts, held-out success rises from 48.3% to 75.0% for GPT-5.5 and from 70.0% to 88.3% for GPT-6. RoboHarn-Evo also resolves over 83% of historical knowledge errors while retaining 95.8% of valid knowledge, and transfers zero-shot from RMBench to RoboDojo with gains of 35.0 and 25.0 percentage points. These results demonstrate that physical interaction can be accumulated into reusable knowledge for improving subsequent manipulation.

Credit-Guided Policy Improvement for Test-time Adaptive Vision-Language Navigation
基于信用引导的政策改进用于测试时自适应视觉-语言导航
Abstract
Test-time adaptation for vision-language navigation (TTA-VLN) enables pretrained policies to adapt online to unseen environments using only test-time observations and interaction history. However, distribution shifts can distort local action preferences and lead to off-course decisions. Existing methods rely on predictive uncertainty, trajectory-level feedback, or accumulated adaptation experience to correct such deviations. These signals, however, do not directly reveal whether an executed action supports instruction-guided progress toward the goal. Moreover, a plausible corrective signal does not guarantee a reliable policy update. The key challenge is thus twofold: identifying interactions that support goal-directed improvement and determining whether the resulting updates are worth retaining. We observe that each executed action induces an immediate observation transition, providing evidence of its local consequences. Based on this insight, we propose Credit-Guided Policy Improvement (CGPI), which recovers signed, reference-relative decision credit from action-induced observation transitions without external outcome feedback. With the pretrained navigation policy frozen, CGPI uses this credit to propose lightweight adaptation updates and verifies them against prior credit-supported interactions. Updates are retained only when supported and rolled back otherwise. CGPI achieves consistent gains across the evaluated VLN benchmarks and navigation backbones, while qualitative robot trials further illustrate the feasibility of zero-shot sim-to-real transfer.

视觉-语言导航的测试时适应（TTA-VLN）使得预训练的策略能够仅通过测试时观察和交互历史在线适应未见环境。然而，分布转移可能扭曲局部行动偏好，导致偏离目标的决策。现有方法依赖于预测不确定性、轨迹级反馈或累积适应经验来纠正这些偏差。然而，这些信号并不能直接揭示执行的行动是否支持指导目标的进展。此外，一个合理的纠正信号并不保证可靠的政策更新。因此，关键挑战有两个方面：识别支持目标导向改进的交互，并确定所产生的更新是否值得保留。我们观察到，每个执行的行动都会引发即时的观察转变，提供其局部后果的证据。基于这一见解，我们提出了信用引导的政策改进（CGPI），该方法从行动引发的观察转变中恢复带符号的、相对参考的决策信用，而无需外部结果反馈。在冻结预训练的导航策略的情况下，CGPI利用这一信用提出轻量级的适应更新，并根据先前支持信用的交互对其进行验证。只有在得到支持时，更新才会被保留，否则将被回滚。CGPI在评估的VLN基准和导航骨干网络上实现了一致的增益，而定性机器人试验进一步展示了零-shot模拟到真实转移的可行性。

BlenDAgger: Blended Shared Control for Interactive Imitation Learning
BlenDAgger：用于交互式模仿学习的混合共享控制
Abstract
Robot policies are frequently trained from human corrections, yet teleoperating a robot to provide corrections is burdensome, and human demonstrators are not always optimal. We propose Blended DAgger (BlenDAgger), an approach for collecting data to train imitation learning policies by using shared control to blend the policy's and demonstrator's actions during interventions. By blending human and policy actions, we aim to improve the autonomous performance of manipulation policies. We validate our approach across five manipulation tasks, two in the real world and three in simulation. Our approach achieves higher autonomous performance by 30 or more percentage points on two real-world tasks compared to a typical human-gated correction approach (HG-DAgger). We also investigate the advantages of BlenDAgger that allow for higher autonomous performance, finding that BlenDAgger results in 57% smoother transitions between policy control and human interventions, and 14% higher trajectory similarity to the training data. In a user study (n=14) on two real-world tasks, we find that BlenDAgger results in faster data collection (BF=13.32), and we do not find a difference in subjective perceptions. These results show that blended shared control leads to higher autonomous performance compared to typical methods for fine-tuning robot policies from fully teleoperated interventions.

When to Adapt: Multi-Signal Domain Shift Detection for Efficient Training-Free Adaptation in Open-Vocabulary Segmentation
何时适应：用于高效无训练适应的多信号领域转移检测在开放词汇分割中的应用
Abstract
Robust and reliable perception is essential for autonomous robots operating in real-world environments, particularly in long-term missions where environmental conditions may change significantly over time. Although recent advances in Visual Foundation Models (VFMs) have improved open-vocabulary semantic segmentation, these models can still suffer from domain shift, which can significantly degrade performance if they are not adapted to the current environment. Training-free domain adaptation is a relevant paradigm for adaptation, consisting of adjusting the model online using lightweight adapters. Recent approaches apply this on a per-frame basis, which is impractical for deployments on resource-constrained robotic hardware. To tackle this, we propose a multi-signal domain shift detection method for training-free continual test-time adaptation (TF-CTTA) in open-vocabulary segmentation. Our method leverages temporal coherence across consecutive frames by monitoring and combining complementary aspects of domain shift (visual change, adapter mismatch, and semantic drift) to trigger adaptation only when needed. We validate our approach on a benchmark including indoor and outdoor environments and using real robotic data. We demonstrate that our approach maintains segmentation accuracy while substantially reducing adaptations, making training-free adaptation practical and feasible for long-term, real-world robotic deployments.

Cascaded consensus splitting for multi-branch contingency games
多分支应急博弈的级联共识分裂
Abstract
Contingency games enable agents to anticipate and plan for other agents' hypothetical intents by constructing trajectories with a shared prefix and intent-dependent branches. While contingency games capture intent uncertainty, existing formulations rely on a single branching time, oversimplifying interactions in which different agents' intentions are revealed at different times. Moreover, the computational cost of such problems grows rapidly with the number of agents and intents, as all scenario-dependent best responses must be solved jointly. We introduce a multi-branch contingency architecture in which sources of intent uncertainty can be resolved progressively at different branching times, allowing the planned trajectories to adapt to the asynchronous revelation of intents. We also develop an ADMM-based solver that exploits scenario-level parallelism. Experiments on tightly coupled three-agent interactions support that the proposed architecture outperforms the conventional single-branch while achieving a lower mean receding-horizon solve time.

应急博弈使得智能体能够通过构建具有共享前缀和依赖意图的分支的轨迹来预测和规划其他智能体的假设意图。尽管应急博弈捕捉了意图的不确定性，但现有的公式依赖于单一的分支时间，这简化了不同智能体的意图在不同时间被揭示的交互。此外，随着智能体和意图数量的增加，此类问题的计算成本迅速增长，因为所有场景依赖的最佳响应必须联合求解。我们引入了一种多分支应急架构，其中意图不确定性的来源可以在不同的分支时间逐步解决，从而使规划的轨迹能够适应意图的异步揭示。我们还开发了一种基于ADMM（交替方向乘子法）的求解器，利用场景级并行性。在紧密耦合的三智能体交互实验中，结果支持所提出的架构在实现更低的平均回退时间的同时，优于传统的单分支方法。

Semantic Map Sharing and Capability-Aware Coverage Planning for AI-Native 6G Robotic Coordination
面向AI原生6G机器人协调的语义地图共享与能力感知覆盖规划
Abstract
Search and Rescue (SAR) operations increasingly deploy heterogeneous teams of aerial and ground robots. However, conventional coverage methods typically do not translate perceived terrain into platform-specific reachability, while continuous image exchange imposes a high communication cost. We propose an edge-centric, semantic-aware coverage planning framework that integrates aerial terrain perception, robot-specific traversability reasoning, and payload-efficient semantic state sharing. Aerial observations are converted into compact semantic grid maps, enabling reachability-constrained area decomposition and capability-aware coverage paths that assign only regions admitted by each robot's capability profile. The resulting perception-sharing-planning loop feeds semantic corrections into traversability reasoning and replanning, forming an application-level mechanism motivated by AI-enabled goal-oriented communication envisioned for AI-native 6G networks. For the high-update case, transmitting semantic corrections reduces the application payload by a factor of approximately $82$ relative to periodic full-map sharing. Across matched benchmark scenarios, the proposed method achieved $91.5\%$ coverage with no capability-infeasible allocations, compared with $78.8\%$ coverage and a $21.5\%$ capability-infeasible allocation rate for LS-MCPP. Semantic corrections update the shared planning state without requiring repeated transmission of the complete map.

Learning Expressive and Compositional Motion Representation via Spectral Skills
通过谱技能学习表现丰富且可组合的运动表示
Abstract
Robotic foundation models offer a promising path toward general-purpose humanoid robot control, often through hierarchical architectures. However, their effectiveness depends on the command interface between the planner and the controller, which must support accurate execution while remaining easy to predict, and ideally allow new behaviors to be composed from prior ones. In this work, we introduce spectral skills, a latent representation of this interface that meets these requirements through predictive representation learning. By design, spectral skills compactly encode short motion segments and are learned by predicting subsequent motion rather than reconstructing the encoder input. On a 29-DoF humanoid, a controller conditioned on spectral skills reduces global tracking error by 62\% relative to the state of the art. The same frozen controller chains independently encoded skills without a separate transition policy. It also composes new behaviors by adding orthogonal directions to any compatible base skill, producing combinations unseen in the training data. We demonstrate tracking, chaining, and composition, as well as control through a language-conditioned planner, on Unitree G1 hardware. Project page: https://spectral-skill.github.io

ProAct-VLM: Pre-Failure Vision-Language Task Replanning with Continuous Perception Feedback
ProAct-VLM：基于持续感知反馈的预失败视觉-语言任务重新规划
Abstract
Long-horizon robotic tasks are vulnerable to unexpected environmental changes that can render planned actions ineffective or unsafe. To address this, robots must detect such changes as they occur, interpret their impact, and adjust their actions accordingly. Traditional rule-based decision-making pipelines are brittle in open-world conditions, as they are hand-tuned for specific scenarios and lack generalization. Vision-Language Models (VLMs) offer a promising alternative as they combine broad world knowledge with unified visual--text reasoning, enabling them to generalize across diverse scenarios and generate accurate, grounded task plans. However, for effective deployment in dynamic real-world settings, VLMs must be embedded into frameworks capable of handling uncertainty and environmental changes. Existing frameworks broadly address this reactively, triggering replanning only after execution failures or post-task checks, risking failed actions. Some methods verify conditions before actions, but these discrete checks miss changes occurring during execution. To address this, we present ProAct-VLM, an adaptive, physically grounded task planning framework that integrates VLMs within a real-time perception--feedback loop. ProAct-VLM continuously monitors the environment and re-plans as soon as relevant changes are detected, enabling adaptation before failure occurs. Evaluations against multiple baselines and across different VLM backbones show that our framework improves both success rates and efficiency in dynamic, long-horizon manipulation tasks.

长时间跨度的机器人任务容易受到意外环境变化的影响，这可能导致计划的行动失效或不安全。为了解决这个问题，机器人必须在变化发生时检测到这些变化，解释其影响，并相应地调整行动。传统的基于规则的决策流程在开放世界条件下显得脆弱，因为它们是针对特定场景手动调优的，缺乏泛化能力。视觉-语言模型（VLMs）提供了一种有前景的替代方案，因为它们将广泛的世界知识与统一的视觉-文本推理相结合，使其能够在不同场景中进行泛化并生成准确、可靠的任务计划。然而，为了在动态的现实环境中有效部署，VLMs必须嵌入到能够处理不确定性和环境变化的框架中。现有框架通常以反应方式处理这一问题，仅在执行失败或任务后检查后触发重新规划，这存在失败行动的风险。一些方法在行动之前验证条件，但这些离散检查未能捕捉到执行过程中发生的变化。为此，我们提出了ProAct-VLM，一个自适应的、物理基础的任务规划框架，它将VLMs集成到实时感知-反馈循环中。ProAct-VLM持续监控环境，并在检测到相关变化时立即重新规划，从而在失败发生之前实现适应。与多个基线和不同VLM骨干网络的评估表明，我们的框架在动态、长时间跨度的操作任务中提高了成功率和效率。项目页面：https://github.com/moured/ProAct-VLM

CogWAM: Aligning Semantic Cognition with World Action Modeling via Event-Driven Interfaces
CogWAM：通过事件驱动接口将语义认知与世界行动建模对齐
Abstract
Robot policies increasingly incorporate semantic reasoning and future-world prediction, yet combining these capabilities does not guarantee that local predictions and actions remain aligned with task progress. We introduce CogWAM, a cognition-guided world-action model that establishes an explicit semantic interface between task reasoning and world-action learning through a persistent Semantic State, which stores completed task events and the active subtask. CogWAM updates this state only when observations indicate semantic transitions, allowing task-level context to persist across multiple action chunks. To bridge semantic context with physical prediction and control, CogWAM employs progress-conditioned WORLD and ACTION queries that selectively extract task-relevant information for future-world prediction and action generation. During training, the Semantic State provides shared task-progress context for both branches, while inference removes the future-prediction branch and directly generates actions from observations and the maintained state. We further introduce semantic training strategies to improve transition learning and closed-loop conditioning. Without additional robot-action pretraining, CogWAM achieves 15.56 / 11.70 % Score/SR on RoboDojo and state-of-the-art performance on BiCoord, while real-world experiments demonstrate closed-loop dual-arm manipulation with 16.4 fewer Semantic State regenerations than step-wise updating.

Recompositional Robotics: Cross-Domain, Open-set, and Lifelong Modularity Beyond Morphology
重组机器人学：跨领域、开放集和终身模块化超越形态学
Abstract
Research in modular robotics has produced capable approaches allowing a robot's morphology to change online, with recent efforts also developing approaches to decide which morphology to assume and automatically propagate that decision into the robot's motion planning and control. These approaches are powerful and increase adaptability in the field. However, an alternative objective is not to build robots whose structures can change, but robots whose fundamental capabilities can change, where capability is a joint function across several domains, including kino-dynamics, perception, compute, and high-level coordinating behaviors. A robot designed to be reconfigured across these domains has a greater capacity to alter its capability than one that can be reconfigured in a single domain. We refer to this cross-domain reconfigurability as integration span, and recognize a complementary measure of the resistance to reconfiguration, which we refer to as integration inertia. Current modular robots have reduced integration inertia in the structural domain while it remains high in the other domains that contribute to integration span. We assert that the systems that can provide the most utility through reconfiguration in practice are those maximizing span and minimizing inertia and call this general problem recompositional robotics: adaptation over a heterogeneous set of modules including hardware, software, compute, and behavior that abstracts each component by the interfaces it requires and provides such that they can be reasoned over holistically. We define the problem, ground it in two deployed systems and active research efforts, and pose open questions about the future of recompositional robotics.

Faster and Better? Benchmark Bugs and Design Limitations Distort the Evaluation of Vision-Language-Action Acceleration
更快更好吗？基准缺陷和设计限制扭曲了视觉-语言-动作加速的评估
Abstract
Simulated manipulation benchmarks are the standard tool for evaluating vision-language-action (VLA) policies and the acceleration methods that reduce their inference latency for on-robot deployment. On these benchmarks, we observe that some training-free acceleration methods, which approximate the baseline policy's computation, achieve higher measured success rates than the baseline itself. Success rates alone cannot establish whether such gains come from better task execution or from evaluation flaws. We therefore investigate two kinds of benchmark flaws behind these gains: bugs, where the implementation does not match the intended task or evaluation protocol, and design limitations, where success criteria and simulation settings do not fully capture how acceleration affects task execution. Starting from tasks with anomalous gains, we localize root causes by plotting object trajectories against checker acceptance regions, and classify the resulting bugs into task consistency, initialization, and reproducibility. Extending this audit to seven benchmarks, including RoboTwin, LIBERO-Plus, and VLABench, we identify 22 bugs of these types and 4 design limitations. For the latter, we revise permissive success checkers, correct unrealistic object masses, and add a motion-aware score that favors smoother actions. Experiments show that bug fixes can reverse method rankings, moving the baseline from last to first on one task. Addressing design limitations can likewise remove anomalous gains: on another task, the baseline moves from 21 percentage points behind an accelerated method to 5 points ahead. Gains attributed to acceleration can therefore be artifacts of the benchmark rather than better task execution. We release our bug fixes and revised benchmark settings to support trustworthy evaluation of VLA acceleration.

Urgent Actions Go First: Urgency-Aware Denoising for Real-Time VLA Control
紧急行动优先：实时视觉-语言-动作（VLA）控制中的紧急感知去噪
Abstract
Diffusion and flow-matching Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies generate action chunks through iterative denoising, incurring substantial inference latency that severely limits real-time robotic control. Existing acceleration methods treat an action chunk as a monolithic computational unit, ignoring a crucial physical reality of receding-horizon control: actions are generated jointly but consumed sequentially, resulting in inherently heterogeneous execution urgencies. We exploit this asymmetry to introduce Urgency-Aware Denoising (UAD), a novel inference-time framework that allocates denoising computation according to when each action is physically needed. UAD releases time-critical urgent actions after fewer denoising steps while overlapping the continued background refinement of tail actions with physical execution. However, heterogeneous denoising introduces two key challenges: early-release errors in urgent actions and trajectory inconsistency in tail actions. UAD elegantly resolves both through two core mechanisms: Trajectory Reconciliation, which reconstructs unified internal state evolution to restore joint denoising coherence without additional model evaluations, and Ghost Action Correction, which leverages non-executed ghost continuations to dynamically compensate for early-release errors across remaining executable actions. Extensive evaluations across multiple VLA architectures, simulation benchmarks, and real-world manipulation tasks demonstrate that UAD achieves up to a 1.89x speedup in average action availability latency while maintaining comparable success rates to vanilla inference with optimal denoising budget, offering a more favorable success-latency trade-off than state-of-the-art VLA acceleration baselines.

扩散和流匹配的视觉-语言-动作（VLA）策略通过迭代去噪生成动作块，导致显著的推理延迟，这严重限制了实时机器人控制。现有的加速方法将动作块视为单一的计算单元，忽视了递归地平控制的一个重要物理现实：动作是共同生成但顺序消耗的，导致执行紧急性本质上是异质的。我们利用这种不对称性引入了紧急感知去噪（Urgency-Aware Denoising, UAD），这是一种新颖的推理时框架，根据每个动作的物理需求时间分配去噪计算。UAD在较少的去噪步骤后释放时间关键的紧急动作，同时将尾部动作的持续背景优化与物理执行重叠。然而，异质去噪引入了两个关键挑战：紧急动作的提前释放错误和尾部动作的轨迹不一致。UAD通过两个核心机制优雅地解决了这两个问题：轨迹调和（Trajectory Reconciliation），它重建统一的内部状态演变，以恢复联合去噪的一致性，而无需额外的模型评估，以及幽灵动作校正（Ghost Action Correction），它利用未执行的幽灵延续动态补偿剩余可执行动作中的提前释放错误。在多个VLA架构、仿真基准和现实世界操作任务中的广泛评估表明，UAD在平均动作可用性延迟上实现了高达1.89倍的加速，同时保持与具有最佳去噪预算的普通推理相当的成功率，提供了比最先进的VLA加速基线更有利的成功-延迟权衡。

Geometry-Preserving Human-to-Robot Upper-Body Motion Retargeting from Monocular Video
几何保持的人体到机器人上半身运动重定向：基于单目视频
Abstract
Monocular RGB video provides an accessible source of human demonstrations for upper-body robot motion, yet video-driven human-to-robot transfer remains challenging because body and hand motion are recovered at different spatial scales, human and robot kinematics differ substantially, and fine distal motion is difficult to preserve across embodiments. We present a geometry-preserving motion-retargeting framework that integrates unified body--hand reconstruction with morphology-independent geometric transfer. Frame-wise body estimates, video-level observations, and detailed hand evidence jointly constrain a single differentiable Momentum Human Rig (MHR) state, while transient hand artifacts are repaired in parameter space. The reconstructed motion is represented by arm-segment directions, elbow configuration, relative palm orientation, and bilateral wrist relations, and is realized on the target robot through multi-stage inverse kinematics and robot-specific hand adaptation. Within the broader system, Across-VAM provides video generation, whereas Across-WAM performs human-to-robot motion mapping. The method is evaluated on 16 monocular videos comprising 1,769 source frames, including 10 signing and six reach-to-grasp sequences. Unified reconstruction reduces mean hand reprojection error from 22.36 to 7.21 pixels relative to SAM 3D Body. All 16 retargeted trajectories completed kinematic simulation playback, and representative signing and reach-to-grasp motions were further demonstrated on a physical robot. The results demonstrate a unified pipeline from monocular human video to coordinated upper-body motion on a dual-arm dexterous robot.

MVG-WAM: Multiple View Geometry-Aware World-Action Modeling for Robotic Manipulation
MVG-WAM：面向机器人操作的多视角几何感知世界-动作建模
Abstract
World-Action Models (WAMs) couple visual dynamics with action prediction, bringing the rich priors of pretrained video models to robotic manipulation. However, their multi-view interfaces typically tile images or concatenate tokens, leaving the geometric relationships among synchronized cameras implicit. This makes it harder to connect global scene context with the local geometry required for interaction. We introduce the Multi-View Geometry-Aware World-Action Model (MVG-WAM), which organizes these observations as related projections of one physical world rather than separate images on a canvas. Our model combines an epipolar-constrained global state with view-indexed geometric states jointly inferred from synchronized observations. Camera-aware routing supplies each video region with its corresponding geometric context and the shared global state, explicitly structuring the representation used for action prediction. We further ground the geometry-aware representation in metric scale through multi-horizon future-depth supervision, without requiring depth decoding during action rollout. MVG-WAM achieves average success rates of 99.1% on LIBERO and 92.07% on RoboTwin 2.0, demonstrating competitive performance across both benchmarks. Real-world experiments on Cobot Magic further demonstrate a 91.3% success rate across 150 trials spanning three manipulation tasks.

Explore, Execute, Evolve: A Skill Acquisition and Reuse Loop for Embodied Agents
探索、执行、进化：一种用于具身智能体的技能获取与重用循环
Abstract
Vision-language-action and world-action models have demonstrated impressive capabilities in robotics, yet generalization to unseen tasks remains challenging. More recently, general-purpose multimodal agents have shown great potential for zero-shot robotic task solving. However, they often incur high execution costs by reasoning and exploring the physical world from scratch. To reduce these costs, we introduce RoboSkill, a framework that connects skill acquisition and reuse through an Explore, Execute, Evolve loop. Within this loop, the agent explores to gather task-relevant information, executes tasks while adapting to feedback, and evolves its skill library based on execution records. It then reuses these skills to guide exploration and execution in the next cycle, closing the loop. To improve loop efficiency, we complement vision with tactile feedback to reduce uncertainty during physical interaction. We further augment textual guidance with reusable code to reduce reasoning overhead during skill reuse. On LIBERO-10, RoboSkill improves first-episode success rates by 12.5--25.0 percentage points and reduces average runtime by 7.6--72.4% across four agents. On real robots, it improves success rates by 8.3 percentage points and reduces average runtime for successful trials by at least 14.4%.

ExceptionDrive: A Planning-Oriented Counterfactual Corner-Case Benchmark for Autonomous Driving
ExceptionDrive：面向规划的反事实边缘案例基准测试用于自动驾驶
Abstract
Average performance on routine driving benchmarks does not establish planner reliability under rare, safety-critical hazards. We proposed ExceptionDrive, a counterfactual planning benchmark that uses VLM-assisted screening, localized multi-view editing, and quality auditing to insert hazards into real nuScenes scenes while preserving their context. Its 21 tasks span six safety families and define hazard or conflict regions, local safety constraints, and acceptable responses. Because hazard insertion can invalidate the recorded human trajectory, our reference-free protocol evaluates edited predictions using Unsafe Rate (UR), Hazard Clearance Compliance (HCC), Hazard Proximity Response (HPR), and Counterfactual Trajectory Shift (CTS), which measure core-region intrusion, clearance compliance, clearance relative to a prescribed margin, and counterfactual trajectory change. Seven representative planners frequently intrude into hazard regions or provide insufficient clearance. We also develop a Reminder Agent that, without sample-specific task labels, converts visual evidence and the shared taxonomy into structured records of hazard presence, type, and a recommended high-level strategy. The agent neither predicts trajectories nor controls the vehicle; its records guide a VLM-based decision agent. In zero-shot experiments, the reminders improve strategy accuracy and reduce under-warning.

WayFinder: Hierarchical Visual-Language-Action for Zero-Shot Waypoint Generation and Low-Level Kinematic Control
WayFinder：用于零-shot航点生成和低级运动控制的层次化视觉-语言-动作框架
Abstract
Visual Language Action (VLA) models offer unprecedented generalization for autonomous robots; however, their real-world deployment is frequently bottlenecked by unreliable execution and the prohibitive computational cost of fine-tuning for specific robot embodiments and tasks. To bridge this gap, we propose WayFinder, an end-to-end, closed-loop hierarchical VLA framework that circumvents the need for fine-tuning by decoupling high-level task reasoning from low-level kinematic control. WayFinder utilizes a zero-shot, offboard Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) policy to process linguistic context and state maps for strategic waypoint generation. Asynchronously, a lightweight, onboard policy executes real-time kinematic control at high frequency based on continuous sensor feedback. We evaluate WayFinder in Microsoft AirSim, testing on four environments of varying complexity and three MLLM scales to balance prediction efficacy with computational efficiency. Our results demonstrate that WayFinder achieves superior navigation reliability compared to baseline low-level policies. By querying the high-level MLLM only during navigation failures, WayFinder eliminates the need for fine-tuning, minimizes expensive inferences, and significantly increases navigation success rates by up to 27.45%.

World-action models (WAMs) jointly predict how a scene will evolve and how an agent should act, however joint generation alone does not necessarily impose a shared geometric constraint on these predictions. We present PhysWAM, a unified world-action model for autonomous driving that co-denoises multiview video, metric depth, and ego motion within a single flow-matching transformer. To ground world and action generation in measured scene geometry, we introduce Coupled Point Projection (CPP) that unprojects the generated depth into 3D points, transforms them using the generated $\mathrm{SE}(3)$ ego motion, and minimizes their distance to LiDAR points transformed using the recorded ego motion. This geometric constraint promotes physical consistency with the measured scene by jointly supervising generated depth and motion alongside their standard flow-matching objectives. At inference, trajectory selection relies only on a simple label-free consensus rule, with no learned scorer or simulator feedback. We evaluate PhysWAM across NAVSIM v1 and v2 planning, zero-shot closed-loop transfer, and future video and metric-depth prediction. Despite PhysWAM's simple selection procedure, it achieves strong planning performance and transfers zero-shot to unseen driving environments. It also generates accurate metric depth and temporally coherent video, with CPP improving both planning and depth prediction. Together, these results demonstrate that the geometric relationship between scene depth and ego motion provides a direct way to couple world and action generation within a simple unified model.

世界行动模型（WAMs）共同预测场景如何演变以及代理应如何行动，然而单独的联合生成并不一定对这些预测施加共享的几何约束。我们提出了PhysWAM，一种用于自主驾驶的统一世界行动模型，它在单个流匹配变换器中共同去噪多视角视频、度量深度和自我运动。为了将世界和行动生成与测量的场景几何相结合，我们引入了耦合点投影（Coupled Point Projection, CPP），该方法将生成的深度反投影到3D点中，使用生成的$ ext{SE}(3)$自我运动对其进行变换，并最小化其与使用记录的自我运动变换的LiDAR点之间的距离。这一几何约束通过共同监督生成的深度和运动以及它们的标准流匹配目标，促进了与测量场景的物理一致性。在推理阶段，轨迹选择仅依赖于简单的无标签共识规则，无需学习的评分器或模拟器反馈。我们在NAVSIM v1和v2规划、零-shot闭环转移以及未来视频和度量深度预测中评估了PhysWAM。尽管PhysWAM的选择过程简单，但它在规划性能上表现出色，并能够零-shot转移到未见过的驾驶环境中。它还生成了准确的度量深度和时间一致的视频，CPP改善了规划和深度预测。总的来说，这些结果表明，场景深度与自我运动之间的几何关系为在一个简单的统一模型中耦合世界和行动生成提供了一种直接的方法。

Comparing Utility of Inertial, Occupancy, Semantic, and Intent Information in Human Motion Prediction During Daily Tasks
比较惯性、占用、语义和意图信息在日常任务中人类运动预测中的效用
Abstract
Accurate human motion prediction is crucial for robotic systems operating around people, particularly in complex indoor spaces. In this study, we assess the relative importance of different sources of information in indoor motion prediction with a human motion diffusion model. We collected a dataset of nine naive human subjects conducting simulated indoor daily activities while wearing a pair of Meta Aria glasses. This dataset includes ten buildings from a university campus, and encompasses 238 minutes of navigation between daily tasks. Overall, we demonstrate a 42% improvement beyond a constant velocity baseline. Including body motion, scene representation, and eye gaze fixation data significantly reduced prediction error. Semantic information was found to be useful for indoor motion prediction, but to a lesser degree than in outdoor navigation. Providing explicit intent information reduced error beyond any other addition, suggesting that incorporating explicit intent estimation or user input are fundamental for finer prediction of indoor motion. One of the few indicators of intent, eye gaze fixation, was found to be especially useful in predicting deceleration, and provided basic spatial information to the model in the absence of an occupancy map. These results are a first step towards predicting human motion in highly ambiguous indoor scenarios. Code will be made public upon acceptance. Project page: https://human-motion-diffusion.github.io/

doPlan: A Variable-Horizon Dataset for Multi-Stage Language-Conditioned Planning in Autonomous Driving
doPlan：用于自主驾驶中多阶段语言条件规划的可变视野数据集
Abstract
Autonomous vehicles interacting with passengers through natural language must reason beyond immediate commands. Passenger intent may span multiple stages of behavior, depend on future events, refer to surrounding agents or landmarks, and remain relevant as driving conditions evolve. Existing language-enabled driving datasets largely focus on short, localized interactions, leaving these longer-horizon forms of passenger intent comparatively underexplored. We introduce doPlan, to our knowledge the first publicly available, human-annotated real-world dataset designed to study passenger language as persistent task context. Built on nuPlan, doPlan contains 5,154 human-written passenger instructions spanning 169.1 hours of cumulative instruction-aligned context over 50.9 hours of unique driving, with annotation windows ranging from 30.0 to 508.8 s. The annotations capture immediate, deferred, event-conditioned, persistent, and multi-stage passenger intent. The dataset, annotation interface, and supporting resources are publicly available at https://github.com/Mi3-Lab/doPlan. We evaluate four language-conditioned driving models and find that sensitivity to passenger language does not reliably translate into behavior consistent with the requested direction. More broadly, among 2,161 examples with a matched future maneuver, the first associated maneuver occurs a median of 24.6 s after the evaluation point, and only 9.8% occur within the models' common 5 s prediction horizon. These findings highlight the need to connect persistent passenger intent with successive planning decisions. doPlan provides a setting for studying how unresolved goals can be retained, grounded in evolving scenes, and tracked across multiple stages, including how a planner determines when a future goal becomes relevant to the current plan.

EgoAlign: Bridging the Human-Humanoid Gap for Long-Range Loco-Manipulation
EgoAlign：弥合人类与类人机器人之间的长距离运动操控差距
Abstract
Egocentric human demonstrations offer an accessible source of task experience, but differences in body scale and controller response, together with missing robot states, limit their value as humanoid training supervision. We present EgoAlign, a data-construction framework that converts these demonstrations into action and state supervision compatible with a general-purpose, continuous whole-body controller, without collecting physical-robot demonstrations. Using the target-robot model and simulator, EgoAlign guides demonstration collection through execution feedback. It preserves locomotion references for visually guided periodic stepping while adapting upper-body interaction geometry through scale alignment and controller-in-the-loop refinement. A final causal replay reconstructs the corresponding robot states and motion-token labels for training with the human observations. We assess the resulting supervision by fine-tuning a vision--language--action model solely on adapted human demonstrations and deploying it zero-shot on a physical humanoid. The resulting policies perform long-range object relocation, navigation to unseen goal positions, and independently evaluated foot interaction. Refinement improves simulated hand alignment and physical pickup success over kinematic alignment alone, while human collection reduces on-site acquisition time relative to teleoperation. https://lambdahumanoid.github.io/EgoAlign/

A QCQP-Representable IMU Pre-Integration Factor for Certifiable State Estimation
可认证状态估计的 QCQP 可表示 IMU 预积分因子
Abstract
We propose a QCQP-representable IMU pre-integration factor that enables certifiable estimation with pre-integrated inertial measurements. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to directly incorporate IMU pre-integration into certifiable estimation. Inertial sensing is a common and reliable modality in robotics, and incorporating it broadens the practical scope of certifiable estimation. The main challenges are obtaining the required algebraic structure and a sufficiently tight convex relaxation. Standard IMU pre-integration relies on the exponential map, which does not admit an exact polynomial representation. Moreover, obtaining a QCQP formulation requires auxiliary lifting variables, for which the standard semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation can be loose. We address these issues by deriving an IMU pre-integration factor based on the Cayley map and an explicit set of redundant constraints that tighten the resulting relaxation. To validate the proposed factor, we apply it to certifiable GNSS-IMU smoothing and evaluate it on synthetic and real-world data. The results show that the proposed formulation yields tight relaxations and solves the resulting estimation problems to verified global optimality.

我们提出了一种 QCQP 可表示的 IMU 预积分因子，该因子使得利用预积分的惯性测量进行可认证估计成为可能。据我们所知，这是首次将 IMU 预积分直接纳入可认证估计的研究。惯性传感是机器人领域中一种常见且可靠的测量方式，将其纳入可认证估计拓宽了其实用范围。主要挑战在于获得所需的代数结构以及足够紧的凸松弛。标准的 IMU 预积分依赖于指数映射，而该映射并不允许精确的多项式表示。此外，获得 QCQP 形式需要辅助提升变量，而标准的半正定规划（SDP）松弛可能会比较松弛。我们通过基于 Cayley 映射和一组显式冗余约束推导出 IMU 预积分因子，从而解决了这些问题，这些约束收紧了结果的松弛。为了验证所提出的因子，我们将其应用于可认证的 GNSS-IMU 平滑，并在合成数据和真实数据上进行了评估。结果表明，所提出的公式产生了紧的松弛，并将结果估计问题求解至验证的全局最优解。

Pow3R-SLAM: Real-Time RGB-D SLAM with 3D Reconstruction Priors
Pow3R-SLAM：具有3D重建先验的实时RGB-D同时定位与地图构建
Abstract
We present Pow3R-SLAM, a real-time RGB-D simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system that uses Pow3R for tracking and mapping. Inspired by MASt3R-SLAM, a recent work on monocular SLAM using two-view 3D reconstruction priors, we extend the work to incorporate depth as a prior on the network's prediction, rather than as geometry to fuse. Where traditional RGB-D SLAM systems struggle with sparsity in the depth images, Pow3R utilizes the available depth to give a better-conditioned pointmap, while inferring the depths in empty regions from the two-view photometric, depth, and intrinsic data. Evaluated against MASt3R-SLAM following its protocol on 24 sequences from TUM, 7-Scenes, and Replica, Pow3R-SLAM runs 1.6x faster in wall time, has 15% lower mean trajectory error, a 3.1x lower unscaled error, and produces denser maps, with a 30% lower Chamfer distance. We also introduce a hybrid variant that runs 2.1x faster than MASt3R-SLAM at 25.3 frames per second (FPS), while maintaining improved tracking and mapping accuracy. Against ORB-SLAM3 in RGB-D mode, Pow3R-SLAM is more accurate on TUM, 7-Scenes, and ETH3D-SLAM, and completes every TUM sequence. While Pow3R-SLAM can struggle on a small set of self-similar scenes, its overall performance shows that adding depth as a prior for two-view 3D reconstruction SLAM can be beneficial.

WorldLine: Action-Driven Visual Simulation for Robotic Manipulation
WorldLine：基于动作驱动的机器人操作视觉仿真
Abstract
Real-world robot learning is constrained by the cost of collecting experience and evaluating candidate behaviors. Video generation models offer a scalable foundation for visual simulators that predict action outcomes before physical execution. Yet they often favor visual plausibility over accurate action following and coherent robot--object dynamics, while action-conditioned simulators depend on scarce, embodiment-specific data that are difficult to share across incompatible control spaces. We introduce WorldLine, an action-driven visual simulator that decouples transferable dynamics learning from heterogeneous action grounding. WorldLine learns manipulation dynamics from more than 10,000 hours of action-free robot videos and grounds them using over 2,000 hours of action trajectories across more than ten embodiments. An image-space action representation provides a shared control interface across embodiments, while multi-view and failure-enriched training with relational regularization improves interaction-sensitive prediction. Robot-focused few-step distillation enables efficient causal rollout while preserving action-critical motion. Across held-out and out-of-domain settings, WorldLine maintains strong visual quality and robot-motion agreement; on failed trajectories, it improves robot-mask IoU by 0.1626 over the strongest baseline. It predicts trajectory success with 74% mean accuracy across RoboTwin and AgiBot, one percentage point above the strongest baseline. Without RoboTwin training or adaptation, its rollouts improve task success by up to 21.4 percentage points over direct policy execution. Together, these capabilities make WorldLine a scalable and efficient visual simulator for policy evaluation and embodied planning.

MotorMind: Scaffolding General Vision Language Models for Zero-Shot Robot Manipulation
MotorMind：为零-shot机器人操作搭建通用视觉语言模型的支架
Abstract
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have advanced robotic manipulation, but their zero-shot generalization in new tasks and environments remains limited, and their reliance on specialized training keeps them from benefiting directly from rapidly advancing general-purpose vision-language models (VLMs). In parallel, recent agentic robotic systems leverage VLMs for high-level reasoning or coding agents for robot control, but often depend on extensive external models and tools, introducing additional complexity and cost. This motivates us to ask: Can a general-purpose VLM itself operate a robot more like the human teleoperator by reasoning directly from observations, issuing actions, and continuously adapting to execution feedback, without relying on external models such as learned action experts, coding agents or grounding tools like SAM3? In this work, we introduce MotorMind, a robot manipulation harness that connects VLM-proposed mid-level actions to deterministic robot control and feedback, with asynchronous monitoring and background memory updates. Without task-specific policy training, coding agents, or additional grounding tools such as SAM3, MotorMind achieves 66.7% success on the base LIBERO-PRO suites and 53.8% under perturbations, compared with at most 13.3% and 19.2%, respectively, for the prior zero-shot methods we evaluate. The same interface reaches 95% average success on a real xArm6 robot across direct manipulation and human-perturbation settings. Replacing the backbone with a stronger VLM further improves performance, while the remaining failures - primarily due to visual grounding, embodied reasoning, and action knowledge - decrease as VLM capability improves. These results show that a general-purpose VLM, when equipped with an appropriate mid-level action representation and asynchronous execution harness, can perform effective zero-shot robotic manipulation.

视觉-语言-动作（VLA）模型推动了机器人操作的发展，但它们在新任务和环境中的零-shot泛化能力仍然有限，并且对专门训练的依赖使其无法直接受益于快速发展的通用视觉-语言模型（VLMs）。与此同时，近期的自主机器人系统利用VLM进行高层次推理或编码代理以控制机器人，但通常依赖于大量外部模型和工具，增加了额外的复杂性和成本。这促使我们提出一个问题：通用的VLM是否能够像人类遥控操作员一样，通过直接从观察中推理、发出动作并持续适应执行反馈来操作机器人，而无需依赖于外部模型，如学习的动作专家、编码代理或像SAM3这样的基础工具？在本研究中，我们介绍了MotorMind，一个机器人操作平台，它将VLM提出的中层动作与确定性的机器人控制和反馈相连接，并具备异步监控和背景记忆更新功能。在没有任务特定策略训练、编码代理或额外基础工具（如SAM3）的情况下，MotorMind在基础LIBERO-PRO套件上实现了66.7%的成功率，在扰动下为53.8%，而我们评估的先前零-shot方法的成功率最多为13.3%和19.2%。相同的接口在真实的xArm6机器人上，在直接操作和人类扰动设置中达到了95%的平均成功率。用更强大的VLM替换主干进一步提高了性能，而剩余的失败主要由于视觉基础、具身推理和动作知识的不足，随着VLM能力的提升而减少。这些结果表明，当配备适当的中层动作表示和异步执行平台时，通用的VLM能够有效地执行零-shot机器人操作。

CrossBFM: Distilling a Shared Latent Behavior Space Across Humanoid Embodiments
CrossBFM：跨人形体现提炼共享潜在行为空间
Abstract
Behavior Foundation Models (BFMs) give humanoids a promptable policy over a latent behavior space, enabling one single vector to represent a motion to imitate, a pose to reach, or a reward to maximize. Forward-Backward representations successfully produce such spaces, but at the cost of hundreds of GPU-hours for a single robot. Moreover, when the training process is repeated for a second robot, it produces a second space unrelated to the first, resulting in embodiment-specific latents that do not unify or transfer. We address these problems with CrossBFM, treating the latent space as the transferable asset for various embodiments. As retargeting provides frame-level cross-embodiment correspondence, we propose a unified encoder architecture with no robot-specific parameters for distilling the behavior space to address all training embodiments simultaneously in less than a GPU-hour. Following this encoder, latent-conditioned trackers turn the distilled latent into whole-body control in a conventional PPO training manner in just 10 more GPU-hours. On three distilled humanoids, all three prompting modes transfer: motion tracking with latent-conditioned policy losing only $0.025$ rad to its joint-conditioned counterpart, smooth goal reaching between poses with no falls, and reward optimization for all $41$ reward prompts. Our experiments further reveal that 1) regressing the encoder on a quarter of the motion corpus costs only $5\%$ of tracking performance and 2) training the encoder on a subset of robots and evaluating on an unseen one recovers up to $89\%$ of the tracking performance of seen robots, demonstrating cross-embodiment generalization to morphologically similar robots. We also verify the pipeline on real robots across all three prompting modes and with flow-based generated latents. Project website: https://dotandung.github.io/crossbfm/

FORM: Robot Manipulation through Direct Material Law Identification
FORM：通过直接材料法则识别进行机器人操作
Abstract
When interacting with an unfamiliar deformable material, a robot lacks prior knowledge of its physical properties and how it will respond to applied forces and motion. Rapid online identification is therefore essential for reliable manipulation. We present FORM (From Observed Response to Material laws), which identifies material properties from a single robot interaction and reuses the recovered model to plan manipulation under new actions and geometries. We use weak-form momentum balance to convert observed material motion and contact forces into linear equations in the unknown material parameters. These equations are assembled using the same material point method discretization as the forward simulator, so identification reduces to linear least-squares solves whose solutions can be used directly for prediction without refitting or conversion. Across four material classes, FORM reduces identification time from roughly 10--25 minutes for iterative baselines to 2--5 seconds, while maintaining competitive accuracy on new motions, initial conditions, and geometries. We demonstrate our approach in simulation and on hardware across four manipulation tasks: elastic rod insertion, golf putting with an elastic club, elastoplastic shaping, and target-volume pouring. In each task, the model identified from a single interaction is reused to plan new motions or manipulate a different geometry. FORM estimates elastic properties within 3.4% and elastoplastic properties within 2%, achieves 72.4--77.8% IoU in dough shaping, and keeps mean pouring error at 3.8 mL across target volumes of 60--160 mL.

Rho: A Foundation for Efficiently Adaptable VLA Models
Rho：高效适应性VLA模型的基础
Abstract
General-purpose physical AI models must combine broad visual and linguistic capabilities with precise control across robot embodiments and efficient adaptation to downstream tasks. We introduce Rho, a family of open-weights VLA models for bimanual manipulation designed for data-light task adaptation on 3 embodiments representative of dual-arm robots across research labs and the industry -- YAM Box, UR AI Trainer, and FR3 Duo. We systematically ablate Rho's action-expert architecture and training recipe, and show in controlled simulation and physical-robot experiments that embodiment midtraining improves downstream adaptation. The resulting Rho variants for YAM Box, UR AI Trainer, and FR3 Duo match or outperform existing open-weights VLAs and achieve the strongest overall performance across the tasks, embodiments, and baselines evaluated in this report. We further demonstrate the Rho model family's built-in capacity for online adaptation: an internal latent policy learns from corrective feedback to select observation-conditioned noise inputs for the frozen flow-matching action expert. With as few as 15 corrected episodes, adapting this lightweight module enables Rho to handle task situations at the fringe of its offline finetuning distribution. Together, these results position Rho as both a strong general-purpose robotic manipulation model and a practical foundation for adaptation. We release the base Rho model and the embodiment-specific checkpoints to facilitate Rho's deployment in research experiments and practical industrial use cases.

Counterfactual Video Generation Enables Scalable Humanoid Loco-Manipulation
反事实视频生成促进可扩展的人形运动操控
Abstract
Teaching humanoids loco-manipulation skills, such as carrying diverse objects, via visual imitation is a promising path toward generalist robots. However, collecting diverse, high-quality interaction videos, such as clips that clearly show a person's full body and unoccluded interactions with objects, poses a practical barrier to scaling this approach. We propose PRISM, a real-to-sim-to-real framework that overcomes this limitation by amplifying a handful of real videos into a large, diverse training set. PRISM first generates hundreds of diverse "counterfactual" human-object interaction videos via video-to-video (V2V) generation from a few exemplar real videos. Our contact-anchored real-to-sim pipeline then reconstructs both human and object motions, retargeting this imperfect video data into physically plausible trajectories. The intra-class variability across these counterfactual videos lets us train a single policy that generalizes to unseen objects within each category. We demonstrate the full pipeline by deploying this policy on a real robot without any real-world fine-tuning. Using only onboard depth observations, our humanoid picks up, carries, and drops objects, including boxes, barrels, bins, and balls, across novel instances, sizes, and initial configurations.

通过视觉模仿教授人形机器人运动操控技能，如携带多种物体，是实现通用机器人的一条有前景的路径。然而，收集多样化的高质量交互视频，例如清晰展示一个人全身及其与物体无遮挡交互的片段，给这一方法的扩展带来了实际障碍。我们提出了PRISM，一个真实-模拟-真实的框架，通过将少量真实视频扩展为一个大型多样化的训练集，克服了这一限制。PRISM首先通过从少量示例真实视频进行视频到视频（V2V）生成，生成数百个多样化的“反事实”人-物交互视频。我们的接触锚定真实到模拟管道随后重建人类和物体的运动，将这些不完美的视频数据重新定向为物理上合理的轨迹。这些反事实视频之间的类内变异性使我们能够训练一个单一的策略，该策略能够推广到每个类别中的未见物体。我们通过在真实机器人上部署该策略，展示了完整的管道，而无需任何现实世界的微调。仅使用机载深度观察，我们的人形机器人能够在新实例、不同大小和初始配置下，拾起、携带和放下物体，包括箱子、桶、垃圾箱和球。

In-context Robot Learning Made Simple: A Democratized Recipe for Manipulation Tasks
简化的机器人上下文学习：面向操作任务的普及化方案
Abstract
We study robotic in-context learning (ICL), an emerging paradigm that enables robots to infer and execute tasks from visual demonstrations. Despite its growing promise, the problem itself remains under-defined: a visual demonstration simultaneously conveys action trajectories, object semantics, manipulation affordances, spatial relations, and task goals, making it unclear what information the robot is actually expected to follow. In this work, we first provide a clear problem definition of robot ICL that explicitly defines its learning target and resolves this fundamental prompt ambiguity. Building on this definition, we develop a minimalist and reproducible ICL framework (SimpleICL) with a visual prompt encoder and a low-cost data collection protocol. Without massive pre-training or specialized data infrastructure, our framework achieves strong performance in both simulation and real-world environments. Extensive experiments further reveal several key properties of robot ICL, including action, semantic, composition, and affordance discrimination. We will fully open-source our data and training pipeline to facilitate systematic and reproducible research on robot ICL. The project page can be found at https://simpleicl.github.io/simpleicl.

我们研究了机器人上下文学习（In-context Learning, ICL），这是一种新兴范式，使机器人能够从视觉示范中推断并执行任务。尽管其前景广阔，但该问题本身仍缺乏明确界定：视觉示范同时传达了动作轨迹、物体语义、操作可供性、空间关系和任务目标，导致机器人究竟应遵循哪些信息尚不清晰。在本研究中，我们首先给出了机器人ICL的明确问题定义，明确界定了其学习目标并解决了这一根本的提示歧义。基于此定义，我们开发了一个极简且可复现的ICL框架（SimpleICL），包括视觉提示编码器和低成本数据采集协议。无需大规模预训练或专门的数据基础设施，我们的框架在仿真和真实环境中均表现出色。大量实验进一步揭示了机器人ICL的若干关键特性，包括动作、语义、组合及可供性辨别能力。我们将全面开源数据和训练流程，以促进机器人ICL领域的系统性和可复现性研究。项目主页见：https://simpleicl.github.io/simpleicl。

Skill-Space Shooting for Autonomous Robot Policy Improvement
自主机器人策略改进的技能空间射击
Abstract
Robots deployed in the physical world must be able to improve beyond their initial training as they encounter new situations and failures. For this improvement to scale across tasks, it must make effective use of experience without requiring human demonstration of each correction. Recent agentic systems offer a way to reduce this reliance on human effort by using foundation models to autonomously compose learned behaviors to complete tasks. Yet completing tasks this way does not itself teach a task policy to overcome its own failures; that requires turning these behaviors into learnable corrections for the policy. Our insight is that many such corrections are familiar short behaviors, or skills: they recur across tasks and describe actions that foundation models can reason about from a scene. We introduce skill-space shooting, which uses foundation model guidance to explore corrections through these reusable skills and turn successful trials into policy improvement. Real-world experiments show repeated improvement in policies acting autonomously, while skills can also be shared to reduce the teaching needed to improve on new tasks. By making reusable skills a source of corrective supervision, skill-space shooting enables scalable and generalizable policy improvement within and across tasks.

CoVLM-Bench: A Real-World Benchmark for Cooperative Driving Question Answering and Planning
CoVLM-Bench：一个用于合作驾驶问答与规划的真实世界基准
Abstract
Vision-language models (VLMs) have made substantial progress in autonomous driving, but their success has primarily been studied in ego-centric scenes. Infrastructure-side observations provide views beyond the ego vehicle's field of view, yet conventional cooperative-driving systems typically transform them into geometric representations for downstream perception and planning. Directly incorporating these views into VLMs offers an opportunity to improve cooperative scene understanding and trajectory planning. However, question answering and trajectory planning have not been jointly evaluated on the same real-world vehicle-infrastructure scenes. We present CoVLM-Bench, a benchmark for cooperative driving question answering (CDQA) and cooperative planning (CP) on vehicle-infrastructure paired scenes. CoVLM-Bench provides scene-grounded CDQA annotations, three-part rationales as auxiliary supervision, and future trajectory targets derived from recorded ego motion. It contains 2,196 paired frames with 35,136 CDQA annotations, while CP predicts six waypoints over a three-second horizon. The annotations combine model-assisted drafting, record-based computation, and human verification. Built upon CoVLM-Bench, we introduce CoVLM-Drive, a unified VLM baseline that directly uses paired views for both CDQA and CP. Experiments show that CDQA adaptation improves answer accuracy and that CoVLM-Drive reaches a lower FDE than the compared V2X planners; QA initialization and rationale supervision each reduce planning error. Together, CoVLM-Bench and CoVLM-Drive support the training and comparison of VLMs for cooperative scene understanding and planning.

视觉语言模型（VLMs）在自动驾驶领域取得了显著进展，但其成功主要是在自我中心场景中进行研究。基础设施侧的观察提供了超出自我车辆视野的视角，然而传统的合作驾驶系统通常将这些视角转换为几何表示，以便于后续的感知和规划。直接将这些视角纳入VLMs为改善合作场景理解和轨迹规划提供了机会。然而，问答和轨迹规划尚未在相同的真实世界车辆-基础设施场景中进行联合评估。我们提出了CoVLM-Bench，这是一个用于车辆-基础设施配对场景的合作驾驶问答（CDQA）和合作规划（CP）的基准。CoVLM-Bench提供了基于场景的CDQA注释、作为辅助监督的三部分推理以及基于记录的自我运动推导的未来轨迹目标。它包含2,196对帧和35,136个CDQA注释，而CP在三秒的时间范围内预测六个航点。这些注释结合了模型辅助草拟、基于记录的计算和人工验证。在CoVLM-Bench的基础上，我们引入了CoVLM-Drive，一个统一的VLM基线，直接使用配对视角进行CDQA和CP。实验表明，CDQA适应性提高了答案的准确性，而CoVLM-Drive的FDE低于比较的V2X规划器；问答初始化和推理监督各自减少了规划误差。总之，CoVLM-Bench和CoVLM-Drive支持VLMs在合作场景理解和规划中的训练与比较。

HERO: Histology Encoder for Robust Representation in Oncology
HERO：用于肿瘤学的组织学编码器以实现稳健表征
Abstract
Foundation models trained on large pathology image corpora now provide strong, transferable representations for computational pathology. Over the past few years a series of such models has been released, each trained on more slides than the last; on standard classification and segmentation benchmarks, the leading models are now separated by small margins. In clinical use, however, the foundation model is applied to images from hospitals, scanners, and staining protocols outside its training data. Encoders generally embed these acquisition factors alongside biological information, which may introduce downstream errors and hinder safe clinical adoption. A pathology foundation model should therefore be robust to acquisition shift without giving up representation quality, yet robustness is seldom the axis along which models are compared. In this report, we introduce HERO (Histology Encoder for Robust Representation in Oncology), a ViT-G/14 pathology foundation model trained with the DINO and iBOT objectives and refined with high-resolution Gram anchoring on a morphology-balanced corpus of 500 million tiles from approximately 575,000 clinical whole-slide images. Across the evaluated public benchmarks, HERO shows the strongest robustness to center, scanner, and stain variation among the compared state-of-the-art foundation models, performs comparably on tile-level classification, segmentation, and gene-expression prediction, ranks first on average across 39 evaluated slide-level clinical tasks, and, under an equal-weighted framework-level analysis, has the best average rank across the six benchmark frameworks.

在大型病理图像语料库上训练的基础模型现在为计算病理学提供了强大且可转移的表征。在过去几年中，已发布了一系列此类模型，每个模型的训练滑片数量均超过前一个；在标准分类和分割基准测试中，领先模型之间的差距已变得微小。然而，在临床应用中，基础模型应用于来自医院、扫描仪和染色协议的图像，这些图像不在其训练数据中。编码器通常将这些获取因素与生物信息嵌入在一起，这可能引入下游错误并阻碍安全的临床采用。因此，病理基础模型应对获取偏移具有稳健性，而不牺牲表征质量，但稳健性往往不是模型比较的轴心。在本报告中，我们介绍了HERO（用于肿瘤学的组织学编码器），这是一个使用DINO和iBOT目标训练的ViT-G/14病理基础模型，并在来自约575,000个临床全切片图像的5亿个平铺图像的形态平衡语料库上进行了高分辨率Gram锚定的精炼。在评估的公共基准中，HERO在比较的最先进基础模型中表现出对中心、扫描仪和染色变化的最强稳健性，在平铺级分类、分割和基因表达预测上表现相当，在39个评估的滑片级临床任务中平均排名第一，并且在一个等权重的框架级分析下，在六个基准框架中具有最佳的平均排名。

HEIR: Learning Human-Entity Interactions with Functional Roles
HEIR：学习具有功能角色的人类-实体交互
Abstract
Understanding human-entity interactions requires recovering each person-action event's participants, roles, and shared identities. This structure can support embodied agents by clarifying who acts on which entities and how, informing anticipation and coordination in shared environments. Standard HOI metrics score individual links, leaving complete event composition undermeasured. We introduce HEIR (Human-Entity Interactions with Functional Roles), an image benchmark for complete grounded participant-role sets across object, interpersonal, and self-directed interactions. It contains 18,730 images, six roles, 105 actions, and 437 nouns, with shared entities, role changes, and repeated fillers; 51.6% of images contain multiple actors and 62.1% contain multiple actions. HEIR pairs relation AP with complete-set AP and structural evaluation. We also introduce CoRISP (Compositional Role-aware Interaction Set Prediction), which uses shared entity identities to combine role-conditioned evidence and predict normalized participant-role sets. Cardinality and role-multiplicity potentials couple assignments through event size and role composition, with exact per-event normalization. Across 16 baselines, relation and complete-event rankings diverge even after aligning action weights. CoRISP leads the evaluated systems on repeated-role events and shared-participant images in HEIR by 2.87 and 3.82 Set mAP points, respectively. On V-COCO, CoRISP achieves 73.72/76.23 role AP and 61.06/68.59 complete-set AP on two-slot actions under Scenarios 1/2. These results show the value of learning and evaluating event composition alongside individual relations. The code and dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/Kratos-Wen/HEIR.

Systematic Multi-Agent Vision-and-Language Navigation: Formulation, Benchmark, and Method
系统化多智能体视觉与语言导航：形式化、基准测试与方法
Abstract
Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) has largely focused on a single agent following a single instruction, yet many real-world applications require teams of robots to tackle tasks beyond the capabilities of any individual agent. We present Systematic Multi-Agent Vision-and-Language Navigation, providing, to our knowledge, the first systematic formalization of multi-agent VLN as a constrained coordination problem: each mission consists of subtasks carrying dependency and resource constraints (presence locks and holding chains). A verified four-stage crafting pipeline instantiates the task as MAVLN, comprising 11,724 episodes across 145 scenes with teams of up to four agents under three instruction regimes, accompanied by tailored constraint-aware metrics. We further present TRISS, a coordination-ready navigation system coupling an LLM-based subtask scheduler, a shared topological memory that turns each agent's exploration into team knowledge, and a conflict-aware execution mechanism that realizes simultaneous intentions as collision-free routes. Extensive experiments establish TRISS as a comprehensive baseline and reveal substantial room for improvement across scheduling, planning, and execution, highlighting the challenges of coordinating under MAVLN task constraints.

Persistence Forcing: Exploiting Feature Specialization in Pixel-Space Diffusion
持久性强制：在像素空间扩散中利用特征专业化
Abstract
Pixel-space diffusion Transformers (DiTs) directly operate on high-dimensional visual data, yet their hidden representations typically undergo uniform refinement across depth. Natural images, however, are inherently organized at different levels of granularity. Global structure can often be represented compactly, whereas local textures and fine details require richer representations. Motivated by this, we introduce heterogeneous refinement in pixel-space DiTs, assigning different feature groups distinct refinement budgets across depth. Consequently, an ordered feature specialization emerges: sparsely refined features predominantly encode global visual structure, whereas more frequently refined features increasingly specialize toward localized, high-frequency details. We refer to these two groups as persistent and active features, respectively. Building on this emergent specialization, we introduce Persistence Forcing (PerF), which explicitly exploits this persistent--active feature organization for pixel-space image generation. This enables persistent features to continuously condition actively refined features, allowing stable global information to guide the ongoing refinement of finer visual details. During generative sampling, this interaction further induces a meaningful guidance direction that promotes coherent global structure and naturally complements classifier-free guidance. On ImageNet $256\times256$, PerF-L achieves FID of $1.91$, approaching $1.86$ of JiT-H with only half the parameters, while PerF-H further achieves FID of $1.63$ and $1.76$ on ImageNet $256\times256$ and $512\times512$, respectively.

像素空间扩散变换器（DiTs）直接在高维视觉数据上操作，但其隐藏表示通常在深度上经历均匀的细化。然而，自然图像本质上是在不同的粒度水平上组织的。全局结构通常可以紧凑地表示，而局部纹理和细节则需要更丰富的表示。基于此，我们在像素空间的 DiTs 中引入异质细化，为不同特征组在深度上分配不同的细化预算。因此，出现了一种有序的特征专业化：稀疏细化的特征主要编码全局视觉结构，而更频繁细化的特征则越来越专注于局部的高频细节。我们将这两组特征分别称为持久特征和活跃特征。在这一新兴的专业化基础上，我们引入了持久性强制（Persistence Forcing, PerF），它明确利用这种持久-活跃特征组织进行像素空间图像生成。这使得持久特征能够持续地调节活跃细化特征，从而使稳定的全局信息引导更细致的视觉细节的持续细化。在生成采样过程中，这种交互进一步引导出有意义的指导方向，促进一致的全局结构，并自然地补充无分类器指导。在 ImageNet $256 imes256$ 上，PerF-L 达到了 $1.91$ 的 FID，接近仅有一半参数的 JiT-H 的 $1.86$，而 PerF-H 在 ImageNet $256 imes256$ 和 $512 imes512$ 上分别进一步达到了 $1.63$ 和 $1.76$ 的 FID。

CoDimRecon: Agentic Reconstruction of Sim-Ready 3D Scenes with Deformable Curves, Surfaces, and Volumes
CoDimRecon：基于可变形曲线、表面和体积的智能重建仿真准备的三维场景
Abstract
Reconstructing simulation-ready 3D scenes from real-world observations enables robotics, gaming, and immersive applications, yet existing methods largely assume rigid objects. This leaves an important gap for deformables, whose simulation-ready geometry depends on dimensionality (curves, surfaces, or volumes) and whose behavior may require models beyond elasticity. We present CoDimRecon, an agentic framework that reconstructs editable scenes containing rigid, articulated, and deformable objects from multi-view RGB observations. Scene-level geometric priors ground scale and layout, while object-level generated meshes guide the agent toward detailed, compact geometry; articulated rigid objects are decomposed into movable parts with explicit joints. For deformables, category-wise agent sessions reconstruct curves as centerlines with radii, surfaces as manifold shells with thickness, and volumes as watertight solids for volumetric meshing. Reusable simulator skills initialize compatible physical models and parameters, while agent-guided behavioral tests expose mismatches and trigger targeted revisions of motion, geometry, numerics, or material modeling. On evaluated Replica and ScanNet++ scenes, CoDimRecon achieves competitive compositional reconstruction accuracy while additionally producing deformable assets for rod, shell, and solid simulation. We further demonstrate robot interactions across all three representations, including a controlled paper-folding case in which behavioral testing motivates plastic bending.

AerialDojo-200K: A Large-Scale Benchmark Suite for Open-World Aerial Object-Goal Search
AerialDojo-200K：一个用于开放世界空中目标搜索的大规模基准套件
Abstract
Open-world aerial object-goal search is a foundational yet challenging task, requiring aerial agents to autonomously explore large-scale, unstructured three-dimensional environments and reach target objects specified by semantic descriptions or reference images, rather than following route-specific instructions. However, research in this task remains at a nascent stage and relies on small, environment-specific benchmarks with heterogeneous action spaces and data formats. These limitations hinder large-scale training and cross-benchmark evaluation, constraining the scalability and generalizability of aerial agents. To address this problem, we propose AerialDojo-200K, a large-scale benchmark suite for open-world aerial object-goal search, with 3 times as many scenes and 18.7 times as many task instances as the largest existing benchmark for this task. Specifically, we construct 42 simulation scenes spanning four scene families and 21 scene types, including 18 urban, 12 natural, six infrastructure, and six disaster scenes. To ensure data quality, 12 annotators spent two months manually annotating 109 landmarks, 2099 target objects, and 2099 object anchors across these scenes. We further construct 205,732 task instances, comprising over 100K semantic-goal and over 100K image-goal instances across Base, Standard, and Long-Horizon settings. Each task instance includes a collision-free reference trajectory and corresponding multi-view video recordings. We also develop a unified evaluation framework with a scene partition comprising 21 in-distribution scenes and 21 out-of-distribution scenes. Finally, our evaluation of five open-source and four closed-source multimodal large language models reveals that there is still a long way to go toward achieving general-purpose aerial agents.

开放世界空中目标搜索是一项基础但具有挑战性的任务，要求空中代理能够自主探索大规模、非结构化的三维环境，并到达由语义描述或参考图像指定的目标对象，而不是遵循特定路线的指令。然而，该任务的研究仍处于初始阶段，依赖于小规模、特定环境的基准，具有异质的动作空间和数据格式。这些限制阻碍了大规模训练和跨基准评估，限制了空中代理的可扩展性和泛化能力。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了AerialDojo-200K，这是一个用于开放世界空中目标搜索的大规模基准套件，其场景数量是现有最大基准的3倍，任务实例数量是18.7倍。具体而言，我们构建了42个模拟场景，涵盖四个场景家族和21种场景类型，包括18个城市场景、12个自然场景、6个基础设施场景和6个灾害场景。为了确保数据质量，12名注释员花费了两个月的时间手动标注了109个地标、2099个目标对象和2099个对象锚点。我们进一步构建了205,732个任务实例，包括超过10万个语义目标实例和超过10万个图像目标实例，涵盖基础、标准和长时间视角设置。每个任务实例包括一个无碰撞的参考轨迹和相应的多视角视频录制。我们还开发了一个统一的评估框架，包含21个分布内场景和21个分布外场景。最后，我们对五个开源和四个闭源的多模态大型语言模型的评估表明，实现通用空中代理仍任重道远。所有信息可在 https://fengtt42.github.io/AerialDojo/ 找到。

One Geometry, Different Outcomes: Readout-Dependent Effects of the Modality Gap in Vision-Language Models
一种几何结构，不同的结果：视觉-语言模型中模态间隙的读出依赖效应
Abstract
Contrastive vision-language models learn shared embedding spaces by aligning matched image-text pairs, yet their representations remain separated by a modality gap. Prior work reports divergent effects of modifying this gap: reducing it can improve zero-shot classification and cross-modal alignment, whereas removing gap-related structure can degrade image-text retrieval. In this paper, we provide a unified geometric explanation for these task-dependent effects. Across CLIP and SigLIP encoders, we find that a single dominant direction captures 94.4-99.9% of the squared norm of the image-text mean separation, revealing that the mean-separation component is approximately rank-one. A decomposition of the similarity score then identifies three task-specific roles. In zero-shot classification, query-side fixed gap-offset subtraction is exactly equivalent to an additive class bias. In standard cross-modal retrieval, projecting out the gap direction and renormalising residuals discards candidate-specific norm information, inducing a multiplicative ranking distortion; a geometry-derived exponent tracks the grid-search optimum (Spearman rho = 0.93) and restores performance in some settings, although the gains transfer unevenly. In mixed-modal retrieval, the gap direction sorts candidates by modality; its removal can improve cross-modal ranking, unlike random or non-gap controls. Residual semantic structure after removal defines the limits of the rank-one account. Together, these results explain why gap modification can improve, degrade, or restore performance across downstream settings. By clarifying when and why gap modification changes model behavior, this account provides a principled basis for selecting gap interventions in similarity-based vision-language systems across evaluated downstream tasks.

对比视觉-语言模型通过对齐匹配的图像-文本对来学习共享嵌入空间，但它们的表示仍然被模态间隙分隔。先前的研究报告了修改这一间隙的不同效应：减少间隙可以改善零-shot 分类和跨模态对齐，而去除与间隙相关的结构则可能降低图像-文本检索的效果。本文为这些任务依赖效应提供了统一的几何解释。在 CLIP 和 SigLIP 编码器中，我们发现一个主导方向捕获了图像-文本均值分离的 94.4-99.9% 的平方范数，揭示均值分离分量大致为秩一。相似度分数的分解随后识别出三种任务特定的角色。在零-shot 分类中，查询端固定间隙偏移的减法与加性类别偏差完全等价。在标准跨模态检索中，投影出间隙方向并重新归一化残差会丢弃候选特定的范数信息，从而引发乘法排名失真；几何导出的指数跟踪网格搜索最优解（Spearman rho = 0.93），并在某些设置中恢复性能，尽管增益的转移并不均匀。在混合模态检索中，间隙方向按模态对候选进行排序；其去除可以改善跨模态排名，这与随机或非间隙控制不同。去除后的残余语义结构定义了秩一解释的极限。综合来看，这些结果解释了为什么间隙修改可以改善、降低或恢复下游设置中的性能。通过阐明何时以及为何间隙修改会改变模型行为，这一解释为在评估的下游任务中选择基于相似度的视觉-语言系统中的间隙干预提供了原则性依据。

Hardware-Aware Functional Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks for Efficient Medical Image Enhancement and Segmentation
硬件感知的功能性科尔莫戈洛夫-阿诺德网络用于高效的医学图像增强和分割
Abstract
Functional Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (FunKAN) achieve state-of-the-art accuracy on MRI Gibbs artifact removal and anatomical segmentation, but their 11.6 M parameters and 8.7 GFLOPs are too large for edge medical devices. We present FunKANLite, a two-stage, hardware-aware compression of FunKAN for point-of-care use. FunKANLite-TR reduces the spatial prior and replaces the ResBlock offset predictor with a depthwise-separable block. It has 1.9x fewer parameters than FunKAN and no loss in accuracy. We then distill FunKANLite-TR into FunKANLite-ST, which lowers the Hermite basis rank, factorizes the spatial prior into a low-rank form, and halves the filter widths. FunKANLite-ST has 5.6x fewer parameters and 3.7x fewer GFLOPs than FunKAN. It stays within 1.4 percentage points IoU of FunKAN on BUSI, GlaS, and CVC-ClinicDB, and reaches 33.95 dB PSNR on IXI. On an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and a Raspberry Pi 5, FunKANLite-ST reduces energy per inference by up to 68% and raises throughput by 2.9x.

We introduce Xiaomi-OCR-0, a unified 0.8B model for document parsing and OCR-centric understanding. We build an approximately 170M-sample OCR-centric corpus using an automated data engine that combines expert consensus, render-based verification, and targeted synthesis. Starting from Qwen3.5-0.8B, our progressive training recipe combines Q-Mask-based text anchoring, continued pretraining, and mixed-task reinforcement learning (Mix-RL). Xiaomi-OCR-0 achieves 95.24 on Real5-OmniDocBench, 96.83 on OmniDocBench v1.6, and 87.94 on Wild-OmniDocBench, while reaching an average score of 83.2 across five OCR-oriented VQA benchmarks. Ablations further show that, with sufficient parsing training, OCR-centric understanding supervision provides additional gains for document parsing.

From Sharp Eyes to Expert Mind: Internalizing Expert Knowledge in MLLMs for Tampered Text Detection
从敏锐的眼睛到专业的思维：在多模态大型语言模型中内化专家知识以进行篡改文本检测
Abstract
Tampered Text Detection (TTD) is essential for safeguarding document authenticity in security-critical workflows. Existing expert models are effective at capturing subtle manipulation traces but often generalize poorly across diverse document domains, while Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offer stronger semantic understanding and transferability yet remain insensitive to fine-grained forensic artifacts. This complementarity motivates us to investigate how expert forensic perception can be internalized into an MLLM rather than merely accessed through an external module. We identify a fundamental Double Mismatch that hinders this goal: a Spatial Precision Mismatch between coarse visual tokens and tiny tampered regions, and a Perceptual Granularity Mismatch between semantics-oriented pre-training and low-level forensic perception. To address these challenges, we propose Expert Knowledge Internalization (EKI), a progressive two-stage framework that transfers forensic expertise into the MLLM itself. In Stage 1, Text-Focused and Image-Focused strategies establish precise spatial focus on small text regions. In Stage 2, the proposed Forensic-General Representation Alignment (FGRA) loss aligns shallow LLM representations with those of a pre-trained forensic expert, enabling the model to acquire fine-grained artifact perception before such cues are diluted by deeper semantic abstraction. Extensive experiments on multiple in-domain and cross-domain benchmarks demonstrate that EKI achieves state-of-the-art performance and stronger generalization than existing expert-model-based and MLLM-based methods. Moreover, the expert is required only during training, allowing the resulting MLLM to maintain inference efficiency nearly identical to the vanilla model without relying on any external expert at inference.

篡改文本检测（TTD）对于保护安全关键工作流程中的文档真实性至关重要。现有的专家模型在捕捉细微的篡改痕迹方面有效，但在不同文档领域的泛化能力往往较差，而多模态大型语言模型（MLLMs）则提供了更强的语义理解和迁移能力，但对细粒度的法医特征仍然不够敏感。这种互补性促使我们研究如何将专家的法医感知内化到MLLM中，而不仅仅是通过外部模块访问。我们识别出一个根本的双重不匹配问题，阻碍了这一目标的实现：粗略视觉标记与微小篡改区域之间的空间精度不匹配，以及以语义为导向的预训练与低层次法医感知之间的感知粒度不匹配。为了解决这些挑战，我们提出了专家知识内化（EKI），这是一个渐进的两阶段框架，将法医专业知识转移到MLLM本身。在第一阶段，文本聚焦和图像聚焦策略在小文本区域上建立精确的空间聚焦。在第二阶段，提出的法医通用表示对齐（FGRA）损失将浅层LLM表示与预训练法医专家的表示对齐，使模型能够在这些线索被更深层次的语义抽象稀释之前，获得细粒度的特征感知。在多个领域内和跨领域基准上的广泛实验表明，EKI实现了最先进的性能，并且比现有的基于专家模型和MLLM的方法具有更强的泛化能力。此外，专家仅在训练期间需要，使得最终的MLLM在推理时的效率几乎与原始模型相同，而不依赖于任何外部专家进行推理。

Boosting Metric Depth Completion via Training-Free Adaptive Response Geometry
通过无训练自适应响应几何增强度量深度补全
Abstract
Depth completion aims to recover dense metric depth from sparse sensor measurements, increasingly leveraging visual foundation models as geometric priors. However, aligning these priors to true metric scale typically relies on rigid affine assumptions in predefined coordinate systems, leaving systematic calibration errors. Linearity in depth calibration depends on the response coordinate. We introduce adaptive response geometry, which makes the fixed choice of depth, log depth, or disparity an image-level unknown. A continuous response family unifies these coordinates and defines an explicit depth-dependent gain. We derive the response-gradient relation and estimate the response parameters in metric space. Hard-Dirichlet residual reconstruction completes the calibrated prior. Under deliberately incomplete metric observations, the training-free pipeline achieves macro AbsRel 0.0301 and macro NMed 14.04{\deg}, improving both aggregate measures over PriorDA, LDCM, and Any2Full. Linearity diagnostics examine how the selected response changes the depth relation and its metric error.

Exploring Learning Models for Topological Relationship Recognition from Image Data
探索图像数据中的拓扑关系识别学习模型
Abstract
Figuring out how objects relate to each other, like whether they touch, overlap, stay completely separate or one sits inside another, matters a lot in fields like GIS, biomedical imaging, and robotics. Even though machine learning has come a long way, people haven't really focused on spotting these topological relationships in images. The main roadblocks? Not enough good datasets and no clear way to measure results. So, we rolled up our sleeves and built a new dataset. It's pretty sizable: over 11,000 labelled images showing all those essential relationships. We ran tests with some classic machine learning models, Naive Bayes, KNN, Random Forest, SVM, and Artificial Neural Networks, and threw in some deep learning stars like VGG16 and InceptionResNetV2. For the dataset itself, we used segmentation, contour detection, and grayscale normalization to tease out solid feature vectors. The results? Deep learning methods, especially VGG16, pulled ahead, with validation accuracy hitting 89.55%. That's a big jump compared to the traditional models. This shows how powerful transfer learning is for analyzing topological relationships in images, and it gives researchers a new standard to aim for in future work on spatial reasoning and topological classification.

FD-AA: A Lightweight Focal-Diffuse And Attenuation-Aware Head for Incidental Abdominal Abnormality Detection in Chest CT
FD-AA：一种轻量级的聚焦-扩散和衰减感知头，用于胸部CT中偶发腹部异常的检测
Abstract
Routine chest CT captures upper-abdominal structures that may contain clinically relevant incidental abnormalities. Detecting these findings requires feature extraction from organs with different spatial extents and attenuation patterns. We propose FD-AA, a lightweight organ-aware classification head adaptable for frozen 3-D CT encoders. Within each organ, an attenuation-aware module preserves sparse focal evidence, while masked generalized-mean pooling captures diffuse anomaly patterns. In seven abdominal organs, FD-AA with Pillar-0 achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in both the CT-RATE test set (AUC = 0.798) and the external RAD-ChestCT dataset (AUC = 0.713). More specifically, FD-AA improved macro AUC/AP from 0.763/0.346 to 0.798/0.405 over direct classification using frozen Pillar-0 only (p = 0.034/0.016). Such performance gain generalizes across multiple frozen encoders (AUC improvement on MedicalNet +9.8%, CT-CLIP +14.7%, ResNet +3.7%), demonstrating the effectiveness of FD-AA across different feature representations. These results support the effectiveness of integrating focal-diffuse aggregation with explicit HU evidence for incidental abdominal abnormality detection.

PreviewDiff: Multimodal Critic-Guided Search over Diffusion Latents
PreviewDiff：基于多模态评估者引导的扩散潜变量搜索
Abstract
Diffusion models can produce striking images and videos, but they still struggle with the compositional details that make a generation faithful to a prompt, such as object counts, attribute binding, spatial relations, and temporally grounded actions. A common way to improve prompt satisfaction is to spend more compute at test time through Best-of-N sampling, but final-sample selection is fixed. Best-of-N can only choose among completed outputs and cannot repair a promising trajectory before it fails. We introduce PreviewDiff, a training-free test-time search method that turns diffusion sampling from scalar search into a multimodal critic-guided search over intermediate latents. At selected denoising checkpoints, PreviewDiff decodes a partial preview, asks a multimodal judge to score and critique it, and uses the resulting natural-language feedback to branch over semantic prompt edits and locally re-noised latent continuations. These branches are then scored and selectively rolled forward, allowing verifier compute to guide generation while the sample is still editable. Across image and video generation benchmarks, PreviewDiff consistently improves over budget-matched Best-of-N selection and strong scalar-search baselines. Ablations show that earlier interventions and increased search width provide the largest gains, while deeper search and additional semantic variants offer complementary improvements. PreviewDiff demonstrates that multimodal feedback is most useful not only as a final verifier, but as an active controller inside the denoising process.

Sparse-View Interpretable 3D Animal Behavior Representations for Neural Encoding and Decoding
稀疏视图可解释的3D动物行为表征用于神经编码与解码
Abstract
A deeper understanding of brain function requires a precise, structured characterization of behavior.Yet, extracting behavioral representations from video in a form suitable for scientific analysis remains a fundamental challenge. Many prior studies represent behavior via pose estimation or nonlinear video embeddings. However, pose tracking discards rich information beyond predefined keypoints, while nonlinear video embeddings lack interpretability. We address this limitation with SABLE (Sparse-view Animal Behavior Latent Embeddings), a self-supervised framework that leverages a geometric inductive bias to learn behavior representations.By augmenting a multi-view transformer with priors from monocular depth and pose estimation, SABLE reconstructs 3D animal behavior from extremely sparse views while learning explicit 3D latent structure. Without ground-truth 3D labels, it reliably recovers 3D behavior from two-view videos, whereas state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods fail or yield degenerate solutions. Across the International Brain Lab and Cheese3D datasets, we demonstrate that SABLE learns 3D representations that match or exceed prior SOTA performance in neural encoding and decoding. Once pretrained across animals, SABLE serves as an off-the-shelf model that generalizes zero-shot to unseen animals without animal-specific calibration or retraining. Our method establishes 3D-aware video embeddings that capture complex behavior, opening new avenues for studying brain-behavior relationships.

深入理解大脑功能需要对行为进行精确、结构化的表征。然而，从视频中提取适合科学分析的行为表征仍然是一个基本挑战。许多先前的研究通过姿态估计或非线性视频嵌入来表示行为。然而，姿态跟踪丢弃了超出预定义关键点的丰富信息，而非线性视频嵌入则缺乏可解释性。我们通过SABLE（稀疏视图动物行为潜在嵌入）解决了这一局限性，SABLE是一个自监督框架，利用几何归纳偏差来学习行为表征。通过将多视图变换器与单目深度和姿态估计的先验知识相结合，SABLE能够从极其稀疏的视图中重建3D动物行为，同时学习明确的3D潜在结构。在没有真实3D标签的情况下，它能够可靠地从双视图视频中恢复3D行为，而最先进的方法（SOTA）则失败或产生退化解。在国际脑实验室和Cheese3D数据集中，我们证明SABLE学习的3D表征匹配或超过了先前SOTA在神经编码和解码中的性能。一旦在动物上进行预训练，SABLE作为一个现成模型能够零样本泛化到未见过的动物，而无需特定于动物的校准或再训练。我们的方法建立了3D感知视频嵌入，捕捉复杂行为，为研究大脑与行为之间的关系开辟了新的途径。

LeRF: Learning Reference Coordinate Frames for Perspective Taking Reasoning
LeRF：学习参考坐标框架以进行视角推理
Abstract
Perspective taking is a fundamental component of spatial intelligence, requiring models interpret spatial relations from a specified viewpoint, such as that of another entity or an imagined observer. Despite the increasing spatial reasoning capabilities of Vision-Language Models (VLMs), they still struggle with perspective taking, often defaulting to the camera viewpoint when a query requires reasoning from a different perspective. We introduce Learning Reference Coordinate Frames for Perspective Taking (LeRF), a framework that trains VLMs to construct and use explicit reference frames for viewpoint-dependent reasoning. Given an image and a query, LeRF decides whether a coordinate frame is necessary. If so, it grounds the reference entity and predicts the frame's origin and entity-centered reference frame. A lightweight renderer overlays the frame onto the image, enabling subsequent reasoning over these visual cues without external perception models or explicit 3D reconstruction. To learn this process, we first perform supervised fine-tuning to teach selective tool invocation and reference coordinate frame prediction, followed by reinforcement learning on spatial VQA pairs to improve frame-guided reasoning. Across diverse perspective-taking benchmarks, LeRF consistently improves over its backbone and achieves strong performance against existing open-source methods. Further evaluations also show improved reference-frame grounding and orientation estimation, supporting the effectiveness of learned reference frames for viewpoint-dependent reasoning.

Mutually Adversarial Self-Training with Evolving Data for Unified Multimodal Models
基于演变数据的相互对抗自我训练用于统一多模态模型
Abstract
Unified multimodal models (UMMs) combine image generation and visual understanding in a shared backbone. Since generation and understanding are inverse tasks, recent studies self-train UMMs by letting the two branches cooperatively supervise each other. We introduce MATE (Mutually Adversarial self-Training with Evolving data), a reinforcement-learning-based post-training framework in which the two branches instead challenge each other, and the challenges evolve as the model trains. MATE lets generation and understanding take turns to be challenger and solver. Given an image, the understanding branch proposes several candidate descriptions that the generation branch must turn back into similar images, and vice versa. The candidates are screened for consistency with the image or prompt they were proposed from, and the solver is trained on the candidate it handles worst. The adversary thus comes from the model's own outputs, and no separate adversary is trained. Moreover, the candidates that defeat one branch become the sources of the next challenges to the other in the next epoch, which keeps the challenges evolving with the model and turns the training into self-play in data space. On Janus-Pro-1B, MATE improves GenEval by 2.4 points, DPG-Bench by 1.7 points, and the average over nine understanding benchmarks by 0.7 points, while strengthening consistency across repeated image-text cycles.

Think Before You Restore: Risk-Aware Manchu Manuscript Restoration with Stroke-Guided Attention
恢复之前请思考：基于笔画引导注意的风险意识满族手稿修复
Abstract
Full-page blind restoration of historical Manchu manuscripts is challenging due to scarce annotations, unknown degradation regions, and fragile connected strokes. Generic restoration models may improve visual quality but often modify intact content, leading to over-restoration. We propose SAGE-Restore (Stroke-Aware Gated rEstoration), a selective restoration framework that first assesses where restoration is needed and then uses this assessment to guide restoration candidate generation and pixel-level selection. Its encoder predicts patch-level repair probabilities from complementary appearance and stroke-structural cues to condition restoration candidate generation, while the corresponding repair logits are refined into a pixel-level soft gate that selectively controls where the restoration candidate is applied. We further introduce a fidelity-aware evaluation protocol that jointly measures degraded-region recovery, intact-content preservation, and their balance. SAGE-Restore achieves the highest R-Recovery (0.463) and RFS (0.626), while maintaining high U-Fidelity (0.968), demonstrating an effective balance between restoration and content preservation.

Representation by Design in Generation: Cross-View Class-Token Alignment in Diffusion Transformers
生成中的设计表征：扩散变换器中的跨视图类别标记对齐
Abstract
Generative and representation learning remain asymmetrically connected: semantic representations are used to improve diffusion generation, whereas the models' own representations are often treated as a by-product of synthesis. We ask whether diffusion models can instead be trained to learn substantially stronger semantic representations without sacrificing generation quality. SelfFlow takes a step in this direction by introducing self-supervised patch alignment into flow matching, but its main gains remain in faster convergence and improved generation. Inspired by DINO and iBOT, we extend this framework with cross-view class-token alignment to further strengthen semantic representations. Specifically, we form two independently noised, dual-timestep observations of each image and align each student class-token representation with the stop-gradient EMA-teacher target from the other observation. This objective is optimized jointly with the inherited flow-matching and local patch objectives. Notably, although the additional objective acts only on the class token, it strengthens both class-token and patch representations. Compared with a matched two-view baseline, ImageNet linear-probing accuracy improves by 9.4\% using the class token and 10.1\% using mean-pooled patch tokens, while frozen-backbone VOC2012 segmentation improves by 3.6 mIoU. These representation gains are achieved while maintaining comparable ImageNet generation FID. In text-to-image training, the same objective also improves generation FID, reducing it from 2.52 to 2.37 at matched checkpoints. Our results show that representation need not remain a by-product of generation or merely a tool for improving it: it can be directly optimized as a first-class capability of diffusion pretraining alongside generation.

StructRL: Online Structured Reinforcement Learning for Long-Horizon Vision-Language-Action Tasks
StructRL：用于长时间视-语言-动作任务的在线结构化强化学习
Abstract
Vision-language-action (VLA) models perform well on shorter-horizon manipulation tasks but still struggle with long-horizon tasks that require multiple dependent manipulations from a single command. Online reinforcement learning (RL) can improve these policies through environment interaction, yet many existing methods provide reward only after the complete task succeeds. However, such terminal supervision is sparse and does not distinguish early failures from rollouts that make substantial partial progress. We propose StructRL, an online RL framework that constructs structured intermediate supervision from verifiable subtask completions. StructRL decomposes each task into verifiable subtasks, grants intermediate rewards only after the prerequisite subtasks have been completed, and scales each reward according to completion pace. Across RoboCasa365 and LIBERO-Long with GR00T-N1.5 and pi 0.5, StructRL consistently outperforms evaluated online RL baselines. These results show that verifiable, structured intermediate rewards improve long-horizon VLA post-training. Code is available at https://github.com/amazon-science/StructRL.

Compress to Remember: Learning Compact Memory via On-Policy Distillation for Long Video Generation
压缩以记忆：通过在线蒸馏学习紧凑记忆以生成长视频
Abstract
Standard video generators do not natively compact historical context into reusable memory tokens. As generation continues, the growing history makes it increasingly difficult to retain information from earlier frames due to long-context degradation. Key-frame-based approaches address this challenge by retaining selected past frames, but can discard information needed for future generation. Rather than relying on frame selection alone, we study whether a frozen video generator can supply the supervision needed to learn a compact representation of the history. We propose Prediction-Aligned Context Compaction (PACC), which uses a learned compressor to aggregate information across past frames into compact memory tokens. We train the compressor through on-policy distillation, using the same frozen generator both as a student when conditioned on compressed memory and as a teacher when conditioned on the full history. The student generates continuations, while the teacher provides targets for the same noisy inputs at each denoising step. Only the compressor is updated to align the student's predictions with these targets. We evaluate PACC on MBench, which jointly measures memory-event coverage and consistency. PACC outperforms the strongest baseline by 6.63 points on Causal-rCM and 3.19 points on Causal Forcing. Evaluation on VBench-Long using MovieGen prompts further shows that PACC produces minute-long videos with generation quality competitive with baselines.

标准视频生成器并未将历史上下文自然地压缩为可重用的记忆标记。随着生成的持续进行，日益增长的历史使得由于长上下文退化而难以保留早期帧的信息。基于关键帧的方法通过保留选定的过去帧来应对这一挑战，但可能会丢弃未来生成所需的信息。我们研究了一个冻结的视频生成器是否可以提供所需的监督，以学习历史的紧凑表示，而不仅仅依赖于帧选择。我们提出了预测对齐上下文压缩（Prediction-Aligned Context Compaction, PACC），该方法使用学习到的压缩器将过去帧的信息聚合为紧凑的记忆标记。我们通过在线蒸馏训练压缩器，使用同一个冻结生成器在条件为压缩记忆时作为学生，在条件为完整历史时作为教师。学生生成续集，而教师在每个去噪步骤中为相同的噪声输入提供目标。只有压缩器被更新，以使学生的预测与这些目标对齐。我们在MBench上评估PACC，该基准同时测量记忆事件覆盖率和一致性。PACC在Causal-rCM上比最强基线提高了6.63分，在Causal Forcing上提高了3.19分。在使用MovieGen提示的VBench-Long上的评估进一步表明，PACC生成的长达一分钟的视频的生成质量与基线相当。这些结果表明，学习压缩历史上下文可以在不修改基础生成器的情况下改善长视频记忆。

OTT3R: Multi-View 3D Reconstruction and Fast Dataset Generation at 1% Compute
OTT3R：在1%计算量下的多视角3D重建与快速数据集生成
Abstract
Feed-forward 3D reconstruction models have achieved impressive performance by scaling model and dataset size, but their cost excludes most research groups and precludes edge deployment. Additionally, generating 3D supervision without sensors still relies on slow, unreliable Structure-from-Motion, as the community lacks a COLMAP-like system for neural 3D pseudo-label generation. We present OTT3R (RGB-Only Tiny Transformer for 3D Reconstruction), a knowledge distillation framework that addresses both problems on a single workstation equipped with 2 GPUs. Distilling $\pi^3$ (959M parameters) into a 102M-parameter student yields 9.4$\times$ compression and up to 7$\times$ faster inference, trained at 1.6% of VGGT's training compute. An integrated pseudo-label pipeline offers a reliable, high-throughput alternative to COLMAP, generating dense per-pixel point maps and SE(3) camera poses for a 667K-image corpus in 3.5 hours on two commodity GPUs and succeeding on every sequence we tested, including those where COLMAP fails. The general student tracks the teacher on in-distribution monocular depth and, zero-shot, outperforms COLMAP on 7-Scenes and on DTU completion, but it does not replace the teacher on out-of-distribution multi-view geometry. The deployable artifact is the domain-specialized student: after specialization at 0.2% compute, it is 4$\times$ more accurate than COLMAP on 7-Scenes at 980$\times$ throughput, with near-teacher completion.

前馈3D重建模型通过扩大模型和数据集规模取得了令人瞩目的性能，但其高昂的成本使大多数研究团队无法承担，并限制了边缘部署。此外，在没有传感器的情况下生成3D监督仍然依赖于缓慢且不可靠的运动结构（Structure-from-Motion），因为社区缺乏类似COLMAP的系统用于神经3D伪标签生成。我们提出了OTT3R（仅RGB的小型变换器用于3D重建），这是一个知识蒸馏框架，旨在解决这两个问题，运行在配备2个GPU的单一工作站上。将$ ext{π}^3$（959M参数）蒸馏为102M参数的学生模型，实现了9.4倍的压缩，并且推理速度提高了最多7倍，训练所需计算量仅为VGGT的1.6%。集成的伪标签管道提供了一个可靠的高吞吐量替代方案，生成每像素密集点图和SE(3)相机姿态，在两块普通GPU上为667K图像数据集生成结果仅需3.5小时，并在我们测试的每个序列上均取得成功，包括COLMAP失败的序列。通用学生模型在分布内单目深度上跟踪教师，并且在零样本情况下在7-Scenes和DTU补全任务上超越COLMAP，但在分布外的多视角几何任务上并未取代教师。可部署的成果是领域专用的学生模型：在0.2%计算量下进行专业化后，其在7-Scenes上的准确度比COLMAP高出4倍，吞吐量达到980倍，且接近教师模型的补全效果。代码可在https://github.com/TheFourthKaramazov/OTT3R获取。

LEGO-Anything: Coding Agents for 3D Scene Reconstruction
LEGO-任何：用于3D场景重建的编码代理
Abstract
A 3D scene reconstructed from a single image is most useful when represented not as a rendering or a fixed 3D output, but as an explicit scene program whose execution yields a scene that can be inspected, edited, and queried. We present LEGO-Anything, an Image-to-Code framework in which a coding agent iteratively writes and executes Blender code, inspects scenes and renderings, and revises the program. To evaluate end-to-end scene recovery, we introduce LEGO-Bench, a simulator-grounded benchmark with 208 images from 104 diverse indoor and outdoor scenes. LEGO-Bench separately scores artifact validity, visible-surface geometry, and rendered appearance. Its simulator-grounded design enables extensibility and precise automatic evaluation. Among evaluated agents, GPT-6-astra achieves the strongest overall results, with 53.4% indoor and 39.6% outdoor scores, yet substantial gaps remain between delivering valid scene artifacts and faithfully recovering scene geometry and appearance. Analysis of agent construction trajectories reveals three recurring issues: weak scene initialization, regressive edits during iteration, and unreliable self-evaluation. These findings motivate LEGO-Plugin, a training-free harness plugin for more controlled iterative scene construction, which improves all six evaluated models, with relative gains of up to 62.7% in overall score. Finally, we test whether reconstructed scenes can represent natural images and support vision tasks. In LEGO-World, we derive object detections, instance masks, and relative depth as deterministic queries on scenes reconstructed by GPT-6-astra. These readouts show non-trivial performance across all three tasks but fall well short of specialized vision models, suggesting that program-constructed scenes from current coding agents are a promising but not yet sufficiently precise representation of natural images.

Stealth Is a Relation, Not a Property: How Event Representations Create Blind Spots for Timing Attacks in Event-Based Perception
隐蔽性是一种关系，而非属性：事件表示如何为基于事件的感知中的时序攻击创造盲点
Abstract
An event camera produces an asynchronous stream, but what is visible in that stream depends on how a downstream consumer, such as a model or detector, processes time. The same timestamp change may leave a coarse temporal representation unchanged while changing the response of a model that preserves finer timing. We characterize this dependence as observer-relative stealth. For recorded event streams, retiming an event within its protected accumulation window leaves the accumulated integer tensor exactly unchanged. We use this exact blind space to construct Null, a gradient-guided timestamp-retiming attack, and define SC-ASR_A(tau) to measure attack success while bounding the change visible to observer A. On DVS Gesture at a 10% event budget, Null reaches 81.56 +/- 5.81% ASR on ConvSNN and 98.67 +/- 0.45% on a GRU while preserving the protected tensor exactly. On DailyDVS-200, a protocol-scale Multi-View Fusion Network variant reaches 99.28 +/- 0.11% exact-null ASR, compared with 9.70 +/- 1.06% for its matched control. In a five-attack comparison, Null is the only method with nonzero attack success at exact observer equality, reaching 81.4% on DVS Gesture and 87.35% on DailyDVS-200. We also search the same exact blind space with an independently implemented constrained projected-gradient optimizer, C-PGD. At matched victim-gradient evaluations, C-PGD reaches 84.50 +/- 2.89% ASR on DVS Gesture and 89.55 +/- 4.39% on DailyDVS-200, again with exact protected equality. Perturbations that are exactly hidden from the protected observer become visible under shifted, finer, overlapping, and randomized temporal views. Adding observer constraints reduces the real-valued blind-space fraction from 87.5% to 75.0% to 62.5%, while DVS ConvSNN ASR falls from 74.9% to 61.9% to 37.2%. These results show that stealth is not a property of the perturbation alone.

事件相机产生一个异步流，但在该流中可见内容取决于下游消费者（如模型或检测器）如何处理时间。同一时间戳的变化可能在粗略的时间表示中保持不变，同时改变保留更细时间的模型的响应。我们将这种依赖性表征为观察者相对隐蔽性。对于记录的事件流，在其受保护的累积窗口内重新定时一个事件会使得累积的整数张量完全不变。我们利用这个精确的盲区构建了 Null，一种基于梯度引导的时间戳重新定时攻击，并定义 SC-ASR_A(τ) 来测量攻击成功率，同时限制观察者 A 可见的变化。在 DVS Gesture 上以 10% 事件预算，Null 在 ConvSNN 上达到了 81.56 +/- 5.81% 的 ASR，在 GRU 上达到了 98.67 +/- 0.45%，同时完全保留了受保护的张量。在 DailyDVS-200 上，一个协议规模的多视角融合网络变体达到了 99.28 +/- 0.11% 的精确零 ASR，而其匹配对照组为 9.70 +/- 1.06%。在五次攻击比较中，Null 是唯一在精确观察者相等时具有非零攻击成功率的方法，在 DVS Gesture 上达到了 81.4%，在 DailyDVS-200 上达到了 87.35%。我们还使用独立实现的约束投影梯度优化器 C-PGD 搜索相同的精确盲区。在匹配的受害者梯度评估中，C-PGD 在 DVS Gesture 上达到了 84.50 +/- 2.89% 的 ASR，在 DailyDVS-200 上达到了 89.55 +/- 4.39%，同样保持精确的受保护相等。从受观察者的约束中引入的扰动在移动、更细、重叠和随机的时间视图下变得可见。添加观察者约束将实值盲区的比例从 87.5% 降低到 75.0% 再到 62.5%，而 DVS ConvSNN 的 ASR 从 74.9% 降低到 61.9% 再到 37.2%。这些结果表明，隐蔽性并不是仅仅依赖于扰动本身的属性。

What Makes High-Magnification Knowledge Transferable? A Study of Cross-Resolution Distillation in Whole-Slide Imaging
高倍放大知识转移的关键因素是什么？全切片成像中的跨分辨率蒸馏研究
Abstract
Cross-resolution knowledge distillation aims to improve low-magnification whole- slide analysis by transferring high-magnification representations, yet the conditions for useful transfer remain unclear. We develop a decomposition-based analysis of teacher access, representation loss, and model excess, motivating three questions: whether (a) teacher targets help the task, (b) low-magnification students can predict them, and (c) slide models benefit from those predictions. We investigate them through controlled experiments across ten pathology cohorts spanning classifi- cation, grading, and survival prediction. In the main comparison, providing teacher regional means alongside native low-magnification features improves downstream performance in all ten cohorts. Direct prediction achieves lower reconstruction error than residual prediction, yet the predicted features underrepresent variation in the teacher targets. Moreover, better reconstruction does not consistently improve downstream scores, and retaining native features changes performance even when the predicted teacher features are held fixed. Together, these findings expose a gap between reconstructing teacher representations and realizing their downstream value. They challenge the sufficiency of reconstruction error as a measure of cross-resolution transfer and provide a diagnostic framework for examining where that transfer breaks down. Future distillation designs must account for both what students can predict and how slide models use those predictions.

Towards Scalable Context-Aware Single-Cell Spatial Transcriptomics Prediction from Histology Images
面向可扩展的基于上下文的单细胞空间转录组学预测：来自组织学图像的研究
Abstract
Predicting gene expression from H&E-stained histology images offers a scalable alternative to costly spatial transcriptomics, yet most existing methods operate at the spot level, where signals from multiple cells are aggregated and critical cellular heterogeneity is obscured. Extending this paradigm to single-cell resolution is non-trivial. Naively applying pathology foundation models faces a scale mismatch: their patch-level representations mix multiple cells, whereas per-cell cropping or resizing distorts morphology and removes local context. Conversely, segmentation-based models without strong pretrained visual encoders often lack the morphological representation capacity needed for accurate molecular prediction and inherit errors from imperfect cell boundary masks. Here, we present CELLO, an efficient end-to-end framework that performs a single pathology foundation model forward pass per image and uses grid sampling to extract location-specific features for all cells simultaneously. We further introduce a distance-decay cross-attention module that refines each cell representation using spatially biased local morphological context. Using 52 public Xenium-H&E pairs from HEST-1k that span 12 organs and approximately 10 million cells, CELLO improves the average predictive accuracy over the evaluated baselines while reducing the mean whole-slide inference time compared to DeepSpot2Cell, a 14.0x speed-up on average that excludes upstream cell segmentation. Our work establishes a scalable foundation for single-cell gene expression prediction from H&E images.

从H&E染色的组织学图像中预测基因表达为高成本的空间转录组学提供了一种可扩展的替代方案，但大多数现有方法在点级别操作，多个细胞的信号被聚合，关键的细胞异质性被掩盖。将这一范式扩展到单细胞分辨率并非易事。简单地应用病理基础模型面临规模不匹配的问题：它们的补丁级表示混合了多个细胞，而逐细胞裁剪或调整大小则扭曲了形态并去除了局部上下文。相反，缺乏强大预训练视觉编码器的基于分割的模型通常缺乏准确分子预测所需的形态表示能力，并且从不完美的细胞边界掩膜中继承错误。在此，我们提出了CELLO，一个高效的端到端框架，该框架对每个图像执行一次单一的病理基础模型前向传播，并使用网格采样同时提取所有细胞的特定位置特征。我们进一步引入了一种距离衰减交叉注意力模块，通过使用空间偏置的局部形态上下文来细化每个细胞的表示。使用来自HEST-1k的52对公共Xenium-H&E图像，涵盖12个器官和约1000万个细胞，CELLO在评估的基线之上提高了平均预测准确性，同时与DeepSpot2Cell相比减少了平均整体幻灯片推理时间，平均加速比为14.0倍，且不包括上游细胞分割。我们的工作为从H&E图像中进行单细胞基因表达预测奠定了可扩展的基础。

Temporal-Aware Fusion for Robust Outdoor LiDAR Localization
基于时间感知的鲁棒户外LiDAR重定位融合
Abstract
LiDAR relocalization aims to estimate the global 6-DoF pose of a sensor in the environment. However, existing regression-based approaches often encounter limitations in dynamic or ambiguous scenarios, as they typically prioritize single-frame inference, leaving the potential of spatio-temporal consistency across scans not fully explored. In this paper, we propose a Temporal-aware Localization framework (TempLoc) designed to enhance the robustness of outdoor localization by effectively modeling sequential consistency. Specifically, a Global Coordinate Estimation module is first introduced to predict point-wise global coordinates and associated uncertainties for each LiDAR scan. A Prior Coordinate Generation module is then presented to estimate inter-frame point correspondences by the attention mechanism. Lastly, an Uncertainty-Guided Coordinate Fusion module is deployed to integrate both predictions of point correspondence in an end-to-end fashion, yielding a more temporally consistent and accurate global 6-DoF pose. Experimental results on the NCLT and Oxford RobotCar benchmarks show that our TempLoc outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a large margin, demonstrating the effectiveness of temporal-aware correspondence modeling in LiDAR relocalization.

RA-CFGCache: From Branch-Level Criteria to Guided-Risk Control under Classifier-Free Guidance
RA-CFGCache：从分支级标准到无分类器引导下的风险控制
Abstract
Diffusion models enable high-quality visual generation, but iterative denoising remains computationally expensive, especially under classifier-free guidance (CFG), which requires both conditional and unconditional evaluations. Training-free caching reduces this cost by reuse of previously computed features or predictions. However, existing branch-local reuse criteria do not explicitly account for how cache errors combine under CFG or how local perturbations affect the final output. We identify two misalignments in cache control: a branch-guided mismatch, where guided error depends on both the magnitudes and alignment of branch errors, and a local-final mismatch, where the downstream impact of a local error varies across timesteps. We propose RA-CFGCache, a Risk-Aligned Caching framework under CFG that incorporates both factors while keeping the sampling schedule and guidance rule fixed. CFG-aware Guided-Risk Composition combines existing branch-wise proxies using CFG coefficients and offline-calibrated cross-branch alignment. Propagation-Aware Rescaling further weights the resulting guided-risk estimate with a timestep-dependent propagation prior calibrated from isolated reuse perturbations. An online threshold controller then determines when to jointly refresh or reuse both branches. Experiments on FLUX.1-dev, Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B, and CogVideoX-2B demonstrate improved efficiency--fidelity trade-offs over evaluated training-free caching baselines. Moreover, RA-CFGCache is compatible with diverse base proxy families, including TeaCache-, DiCache-, and MagCache-style estimators, and consistently improves fidelity at nearly unchanged latency.

扩散模型能够实现高质量的视觉生成，但迭代去噪仍然计算开销较大，特别是在无分类器引导（CFG）下，这需要进行条件和无条件评估。无训练缓存通过重用先前计算的特征或预测来降低这一成本。然而，现有的分支局部重用标准并未明确考虑缓存错误在CFG下的组合方式或局部扰动对最终输出的影响。我们识别出缓存控制中的两个不匹配：分支引导不匹配，其中引导误差依赖于分支错误的幅度和对齐程度，以及局部最终不匹配，其中局部错误的下游影响在时间步长上有所不同。我们提出了RA-CFGCache，一个在CFG下的风险对齐缓存框架，结合了这两个因素，同时保持采样计划和引导规则不变。CFG感知的引导风险组合使用CFG系数和离线校准的跨分支对齐来结合现有的分支代理。传播感知重标定进一步根据从孤立重用扰动校准的时间步长依赖的传播先验，对结果的引导风险估计进行加权。然后，在线阈值控制器确定何时共同刷新或重用两个分支。在FLUX.1-dev、Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B和CogVideoX-2B上的实验表明，相较于评估的无训练缓存基线，效率与保真度的权衡得到了改善。此外，RA-CFGCache与多种基础代理家族兼容，包括TeaCache、DiCache和MagCache风格的估计器，并在几乎不改变延迟的情况下持续提高保真度。代码可在https://github.com/yiming-l21/RA-CFGCache.git获取。

Merlin Plus: A Large-Scale, Multi-Cancer, Image-Mask-Report Dataset
Merlin Plus：一个大规模、多癌症、图像-掩膜-报告数据集
Abstract
Multi-cancer segmentation in computed tomography (CT) is fundamentally limited by the scarcity of tumor masks across different organs. We present Merlin Plus, the first large-scale CT dataset with radiologist-created tumor masks across 9 organs. Merlin Plus extends the Merlin dataset by adding 1,153 per-voxel tumor masks and longitudinal metadata. To create these tumor masks, we developed a report-based active-learning framework in which radiology reports identify tumor cases for annotation and support training of a tumor segmentation model. The model generates initial masks, which radiologists review and correct to produce the final masks, reducing annotation burden while maintaining high-quality annotations. Besides tumor masks, the longitudinal metadata in Merlin Plus enables temporal modeling of cancer progression. By directly addressing the major bottleneck of limited multi-cancer segmentation masks, Merlin Plus supports scalable multi-organ cancer detection, segmentation, and longitudinal analysis in CT.

DARE to Mitigate Hallucination: Dual-path Auto-Regressive-aware Editing
DARE：缓解幻觉的双路径自回归感知编辑
Abstract
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have recently achieved remarkable progress across multimodal tasks, yet object hallucination remains a persistent challenge where models generate descriptions inconsistent with the visual input. Recent work mitigates hallucinations through training-free representation editing, typically by constructing hallucination-related directions from teacher-forcing (TF) contrasts between hallucinated and truthful responses. However, LVLMs operate through autoregressive (AR) decoding during generation, raising the question of whether TF-based analysis fully reflects the generation dynamics that lead to hallucinated outputs. In this paper, we analyze the relationship between TF-based editing and AR generation behavior and find that TF-based editing alone may be insufficient to capture both decoding dynamics and multimodal interactions associated with hallucinations. To address this limitation, we propose DARE (Dual-path Auto-Regressive-aware Editing), a hybrid hallucination editing framework that integrates two complementary contrast pathways: textual contrasts and image contrasts, together with autoregressive-aware representation signals. Specifically, DARE constructs hallucination editing directions from (1) TF-based textual contrasts, (2) AR-aware representation transitions during decoding, and (3) controlled visual differences between paired images. Extensive experiments on multiple LVLM hallucination benchmarks demonstrate that DARE consistently reduces object hallucinations while preserving multimodal perception capability and inference efficiency. Our implementation code is available at https://github.com/KU-VGI/DARE.

大型视觉语言模型（LVLMs）最近在多模态任务中取得了显著进展，但对象幻觉仍然是一个持续的挑战，模型生成的描述与视觉输入不一致。近期的研究通过无训练的表示编辑来减轻幻觉，通常是通过构建来自教师强制（TF）对比的与幻觉相关的方向，这些对比在幻觉和真实响应之间进行。然而，LVLMs在生成过程中通过自回归（AR）解码进行操作，这引发了一个问题：基于TF的分析是否充分反映了导致幻觉输出的生成动态。在本文中，我们分析了基于TF的编辑与AR生成行为之间的关系，发现仅依靠基于TF的编辑可能不足以捕捉与幻觉相关的解码动态和多模态交互。为了解决这一局限性，我们提出了DARE（双路径自回归感知编辑），这是一个混合幻觉编辑框架，整合了两条互补的对比路径：文本对比和图像对比，以及自回归感知的表示信号。具体而言，DARE从（1）基于TF的文本对比，（2）解码过程中基于AR的表示转变，以及（3）成对图像之间的受控视觉差异构建幻觉编辑方向。在多个LVLM幻觉基准上的广泛实验表明，DARE在保持多模态感知能力和推理效率的同时，持续减少对象幻觉。我们的实现代码可在 https://github.com/KU-VGI/DARE 获取。

Online Versatile Incremental Learning: Towards Class and Domain-Agnostic Adaptation at Any Time
在线多功能增量学习：随时进行类和领域无关的适应
Abstract
Continual learning enables vision systems to adapt to ever-changing data distributions. Despite significant advances, existing approaches fail to capture continuous and concurrent shifts in classes and domains, a critical capability for real-world deployment. This work introduces Online VIL (Online Versatile Incremental Learning), a novel scenario where class concepts and visual domains evolve simultaneously online without explicit boundaries. To better adapt to the challenges of such dynamic environments that more closely resemble real-world conditions, we propose a novel framework TopFlow, Topology preservation with Flow matching representation that contains two complementary mechanisms: Domain-agnostic Flow Matching (DFM) and Global Topology Preservation (GTP). DFM guides the model to have domain-agnostic representations by integrating the geodesic flow kernel into contrastive learning. In contrast, GTP maintains the global structure of the feature space without explicitly storing past examples. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that TopFlow effectively addresses the limitations of existing methods within the Online VIL scenario, achieving state-of-the-art performance in challenging Online VIL. The proposed methods suggest potential directions for building continual learning systems in realistic dynamic environments. Our implementation code is available at https://github.com/KU-VGI/Online-VIL.

DynamicHOI: Coupled Dynamics for Physics-aware HOI Reconstruction
动态手物交互：物理感知的手物交互重建耦合动态
Abstract
We study hand-object interaction (HOI) reconstruction from monocular RGB videos, where partial observations can produce visually plausible yet mechanically inconsistent trajectories. Existing methods mainly enforce visual and geometric agreement, leaving the underlying interaction dynamics insufficiently constrained. We propose DynamicHOI, a physics-aware HOI reconstruction framework combining geometry-grounded diffusion refinement with coupled hand-object dynamics. Geometry spatially grounds visual evidence for trajectory refinement, while articulated inverse dynamics and Newton-Euler dynamics derive hand generalized forces and object wrenches for dynamics-level supervision. We further couple hand and object dynamics through contact-force transfer and recover active hand actuation as an interaction-level physical quantity. We formulate its empirical magnitude distribution into a probabilistic prior that penalizes unlikely actuation and suppresses mechanically implausible reconstructed motion. Experiments on three HOI datasets show consistent improvements in both hand and object reconstruction. The reconstructed trajectories further benefit downstream applications including hand world-model generation and robotic manipulation learning, demonstrating the value of physics-aware HOI modeling beyond reconstruction.

Abstract
We benchmarked vision-language models (VLMs) on the decisions annotators take when inspecting electron microscopy images in connectomics: synapse detection (presence and polarity) and proofreading (split errors and merge errors). For synapse detection, we evaluated 19 open and 2 closed models across various architectures and sizes under zero-shot, four-shot in-context learning and LoRA settings, against specialist models, on datasets constructed by us using public resources. For proofreading, we evaluated 3 open and 2 closed models on the ConnectomeBench2 dataset, with cross-species transfer from fly and mouse to human and zebrafish. Most models were at chance zero-shot; a few examples helped mainly the closed and largest open ones. LoRA on a few thousand labels brought open models level with specialist models. When evaluated on unseen species, the best adapted VLMs outperformed specialist models trained on the same data in identifying merge errors. The project will be publicly available upon acceptance.

Reimagine Video Dynamics
重新构想视频动态
Abstract
Most video editing methods focus on changing the appearance of the source video, while offering limited control over its dynamics. We introduce Reimagine Video Dynamics (RVD), a framework that disentangles a compact, editable dynamics token from visual context. We learn this token through self-supervised reconstruction: given the first frame as visual context, a renderer must recover the original video from the dynamics token, encouraging it to capture how the scene evolves rather than how it looks. This disentanglement allows video dynamics to be edited directly while preserving visual context. We develop a language-guided dynamics-token editor that transforms source dynamics into target dynamics, and train it with a scalable counterfactual video-pair pipeline and a two-stage training strategy. Extensive experiments show that RVD enables effective video dynamics editing, training-free retiming, and appearance-controlled re-rendering.

大多数视频编辑方法侧重于改变源视频的外观，而对其动态的控制有限。我们提出了重新构想视频动态（Reimagine Video Dynamics, RVD）框架，该框架将紧凑的可编辑动态标记与视觉上下文解耦。我们通过自监督重建学习该标记：给定第一帧作为视觉上下文，渲染器必须从动态标记恢复原始视频，从而鼓励其捕捉场景的演变而非外观。这种解耦使得视频动态可以直接编辑，同时保留视觉上下文。我们开发了一种基于语言指导的动态标记编辑器，将源动态转换为目标动态，并通过可扩展的反事实视频对管道和两阶段训练策略进行训练。大量实验表明，RVD能够有效地进行视频动态编辑、无训练的时间重定以及外观控制的重新渲染。

Foresight at the Event Boundary: Evaluating Physical Prediction in Video World Models
事件边界的前瞻性：评估视频世界模型中的物理预测
Abstract
Video world models are largely regarded as predictive models of the physical world and are therefore expected to anticipate the consequences of observed events. However, evaluation has mainly focused on reference similarity, physical-law consistency, or judgment plausibility, estimating anticipation only indirectly. We address this directly: when a release or impact has just occurred but its consequence is withheld, can a world model anticipate what should happen next? We introduce an event-anchored evaluation based on 62 controlled real-world free-fall recordings and 124 clips spanning three object types, with fine-grained release and impact annotations and ground-truth trajectories. The protocol separates consequence production, temporal placement, and physical realization. Across six contemporary video generation and world models, Runway and Veo produce release and subsequent impact events at rates above 93% but often initiate them substantially late, whereas Cosmos-Predict-2.5 and MAGI-1 frequently preserve the pre-event state and produce little or no measurable consequence. Among measurable falls, plausible timing does not necessarily imply physically consistent motion. We further conduct a 15-participant, 20-condition human study in which participants describe the expected consequence from a single event-anchored frame and draw its trajectory. Human predictions favor the recorded future in aggregate while revealing genuine ambiguity among plausible continuations. Overall, physical foresight emerges as a sequence of distinct challenges: initiating a consequence, anchoring it in time, and realizing its motion.

视频世界模型通常被视为物理世界的预测模型，因此期望它们能够预见观察到事件的后果。然而，评估主要集中在参考相似性、物理法则一致性或判断合理性上，仅间接估计预见能力。我们直接解决这一问题：当一个释放或冲击刚刚发生但其后果尚未显现时，世界模型能否预见接下来应该发生的事情？我们基于62个受控的真实自由落体录音和124个涵盖三种物体类型的片段，引入了一种事件锚定的评估方法，包含细致的释放和冲击注释以及真实轨迹。该协议将后果产生、时间定位和物理实现分开。在六个当代视频生成和世界模型中，Runway和Veo以超过93%的速度产生释放和随后的冲击事件，但通常启动时间显著延迟，而Cosmos-Predict-2.5和MAGI-1则经常保持事件前状态，产生很少或没有可测量的后果。在可测量的自由落体中，合理的时机并不一定意味着物理一致的运动。我们进一步进行了一项包含15名参与者和20个条件的人类研究，参与者描述从单个事件锚定帧中预期的后果并绘制其轨迹。总体而言，人类预测在汇总中倾向于记录的未来，同时揭示了合理延续之间的真实模糊性。总体来看，物理前瞻性呈现为一系列独特的挑战：启动后果、时间锚定和运动实现。

SCCM: Spherically Consistent Coarse Matching for ERP Dense Feature Correspondence
SCCM：用于ERP稠密特征对应的球面一致粗匹配
Abstract
Equirectangular projection (ERP) is the standard representation for 360$^\circ$ imagery, and robust dense feature matching on ERP underpins panoramic stereo, view synthesis, and omnidirectional SLAM. Dense matchers trained on flat images degrade systematically on ERP because the chart introduces three coupled distortions -- topological, metric, and area -- that standard coarse matching and visibility estimation do not explicitly model. We show that correcting the three distortions at the coarse-stage interfaces where they arise -- pairwise distortions in attention, per-pixel distortion in covisibility gating -- improves PCK@$1^\circ$ from 0.229 to 0.275 on Matterport3D under a fixed coarse scaffold, with the refiner architecture unchanged -- our central result. Concretely, SCCM (Spherically Consistent Coarse Matching) augments a chart-naive cross-attention/dual-softmax coarse matcher with two sphere-derived priors: Spherical Positional Attention (SPA) pairs a yaw-periodic RoPE (topology) with a tangent-plane bias (metric), and Area-Aware Covisibility (AAC) applies a pre-sigmoid log-area correction (area). The chart-naive scaffold serves as a controlled reference, separating the scaffold-replacement effect from the spherical-prior effect. Instantiated in the RoMa V1 framework with the same frozen encoder, refiner architecture, and loss, SCCM also outperforms the ERP-native EDM (0.163) and an ERP-retrained RoMa V1 (0.198) under a unified ERP dense matching protocol, while perspective-trained matchers largely fail on ERP. It further transfers zero-shot to Stanford2D3D and, when trained on outdoor Holo360D, leads there as well.

等矩形投影（ERP）是360°图像的标准表示，基于ERP的稳健稠密特征匹配是全景立体、视图合成和全向SLAM的基础。在平面图像上训练的稠密匹配器在ERP上系统性地退化，因为该图表引入了三种耦合失真——拓扑失真、度量失真和面积失真——而标准的粗匹配和可见性估计并未明确建模这些失真。我们展示了在粗匹配阶段接口处纠正这三种失真——注意力中的成对失真、共可见性门控中的逐像素失真——能够在固定的粗匹配框架下将Matterport3D上的PCK@$1^ ext{°}$从0.229提高到0.275，而细化器架构保持不变，这是我们的核心结果。具体而言，SCCM（球面一致粗匹配）通过两个源自球面的先验增强了一个无图表的交叉注意力/双软最大粗匹配器：球面位置注意力（SPA）将一个偏航周期性的RoPE（拓扑）与一个切平面偏差（度量）配对，而面积感知共可见性（AAC）应用了一个预sigmoid对数面积修正（面积）。无图表的框架作为一个受控参考，分离了框架替换效应与球面先验效应。在RoMa V1框架中实例化，使用相同的冻结编码器、细化器架构和损失，SCCM在统一的ERP稠密匹配协议下也优于ERP原生的EDM（0.163）和经过ERP再训练的RoMa V1（0.198），而透视训练的匹配器在ERP上大多失败。它进一步实现了对Stanford2D3D的零样本迁移，并且在户外Holo360D上训练时也表现出色。

How Medical VLMs Underutilize Their Vision Encoders: A Dermatology Perspective
医学视觉语言模型如何未充分利用其视觉编码器：皮肤科视角
Abstract
Medical Vision-Language Models (VLMs) show significant promise for clinical image understanding, offering accurate diagnosis with interpretable reasoning. However, a critical performance gap exists between their strong vision encoders and the full multimodal model: in dermatology, the MedSigLIP encoder outperforms MedGemma by an average of 10.26 percentage points even when both use zero target-task labels; few-shot linear probing provides further evidence of strong visual representations. This gap motivates an investigation of how visual information is used in end-to-end diagnosis and why plausible-sounding predictions can lack grounding in image evidence. Using dermatology as our primary testbed, we systematically investigate three hypotheses for this phenomenon. We further provide a mechanistic analysis of the model's internal attention patterns, showing that a simple describe-then-decide prompting strategy increases vision attention by 30-40% during generation. Task-specific fine-tuning improves dermatology classification but reduces cross-domain medical question-answering performance in our evaluation. To address these challenges, we combine label-free prompting with low-label encoder-assisted reranking while keeping the VLM frozen. We validate the interventions across five VLM backbones in dermatology and provide supporting representation and attention analyses across additional medical modalities.

FM-ReID: Selective Competitive Token Routing for Object Re-Identification
FM-ReID：用于物体重识别的选择性竞争性标记路由
Abstract
Object re-identification (ReID) faces a recurring challenge: different identities can share highly similar global appearances, while the cues that distinguish them are localized, heterogeneous, and visible only under particular viewpoints. This challenge arises in animal ReID through markings, contours, and scars, in person ReID through subtle clothing and accessory cues, and in vehicle ReID through localized appearance details. Although visual foundation models encode such information in dense tokens, a single holistic descriptor can obscure discriminative local signals. We propose FM-ReID, an end-to-end framework that formulates local representation learning as selective competitive token routing. Its Competitive Fine-grained Mining module uses multiple mining queries and a residual query to compete for dense DINOv3 tokens. Above-prior selection retains tokens preferentially allocated to each mining query, while the residual slot receives tokens excluded from the retrieval descriptors. The resulting multi-query descriptors are jointly trained with a holistic representation for retrieval, without fixed spatial partitions or equal-area constraints. FM-ReID achieves strong results on animal, person, and vehicle ReID benchmarks, supporting competitive token routing as an effective way to augment holistic foundation-model representations.

物体重识别（ReID）面临着一个反复出现的挑战：不同的身份可能共享高度相似的整体外观，而区分它们的线索则是局部的、异质的，并且仅在特定视角下可见。这个挑战在动物重识别中通过标记、轮廓和伤疤体现，在人重识别中通过细微的服装和配饰线索体现，在车辆重识别中通过局部外观细节体现。尽管视觉基础模型在密集的标记中编码了这些信息，但单一的整体描述符可能会掩盖具有区分性的局部信号。我们提出了FM-ReID，一个端到端的框架，将局部表示学习公式化为选择性竞争性标记路由。其竞争性细粒度挖掘模块使用多个挖掘查询和一个残差查询来竞争密集的DINOv3标记。优先选择保留优先分配给每个挖掘查询的标记，而残差槽接收从检索描述符中排除的标记。最终生成的多查询描述符与整体表示共同训练以进行检索，没有固定的空间划分或等面积约束。FM-ReID在动物、人和车辆重识别基准上取得了优异的结果，支持竞争性标记路由作为增强整体基础模型表示的有效方式。

ThinkingGuard: Decoding Implicit Hazards via Step-by-Step Risk Attribution in Multimodal Large Language Models
ThinkingGuard：通过逐步风险归因解码多模态大型语言模型中的隐性风险
Abstract
While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed in safety-critical domains, their reliability is threatened by multimodal implicit risks. Unlike explicit threats, these hazards emerge when individually benign text and neutral visual entities logically converge to induce unsafe outputs. Current detection methods fail to address this because they overlook the underlying risk activation mechanisms that govern cross-modal risk activation, leading to single-modality shortcut learning and hallucinated rationalizations. To bridge this gap, we first construct TriggerBench, the first dataset explicitly modeling risk compositionality (5,600 instances). By formally isolating Key Elements and Trigger Elements to build counterfactual contrastive pairs, TriggerBench eliminates risk residues and forces models to perform genuine logical deduction rather than superficial pattern matching, which provides a rigorous foundation for both large-scale training and fine-grained evaluation. Building on this, we propose a Step-Supervised Structured Reasoning training framework and employ it to train ThinkingGuard, a specialized guard model. Inspired by Situation Awareness theory, we decouple implicit risk identification into progressive cognitive stages, and utilize a step-reward Monte Carlo Tree Search algorithm to explore optimal reasoning trajectories, which are then distilled into the model through Dual-Constraint Preference Alignment. Extensive experiments across both standard and implicit safety benchmarks demonstrate that ThinkingGuard achieves strong performance.

AffectReveal: Event-Grounded Emotion Recognition Beyond Visual Appearances
AffectReveal：超越视觉外观的事件基础情感识别
Abstract
Visual emotion recognition commonly assumes that all evidence required for prediction is contained in the observed image or video. Yet the same visible reaction can convey different emotions depending on events beyond the input: tears, for example, may indicate grief or joy. We formulate Event-Grounded Emotion Recognition (EGER), where emotion recognition requires recovering the affect-determining event. We construct EGER-Bench, comprising 10,052 videos and 10,734 images across 11 emotions, two source domains, and four visual settings. A study with six annotators shows that event context raises human recognition accuracy from 33.96% to 72.08%, confirming that visual evidence alone is often insufficient. Semantic relevance alone does not solve EGER: a plausible event may imply the wrong emotion if its identity, focal-person role, relationship, or outcome is misinterpreted. We therefore propose AffectReveal, a tuning-free framework that first constructs and independently verifies evidence-grounded alternatives over these affect-critical factors. It then cross-checks the recovered event against face-masked in-media facts through bidirectional atomic evidence support, while retaining the original unmasked input for final prediction. Across three downstream models and four input settings, AffectReveal yields average UAR gains of 5.26--10.53 points. For three fine-tunable models, it also enables untuned models to outperform their fine-tuned visual-only counterparts in all 12 accuracy comparisons, without updating downstream parameters.

视觉情感识别通常假设所有预测所需的证据都包含在观察到的图像或视频中。然而，相同的可见反应可能会根据输入之外的事件传达不同的情感：例如，眼泪可能表示悲伤或快乐。我们提出了事件基础情感识别（Event-Grounded Emotion Recognition, EGER）的概念，其中情感识别需要恢复影响情感的事件。我们构建了EGER-Bench，包括10,052个视频和10,734张图像，涵盖11种情感、两个源领域和四种视觉设置。六位注释者的研究表明，事件背景将人类识别准确率从33.96%提高到72.08%，确认仅凭视觉证据往往是不够的。仅靠语义相关性无法解决EGER问题：如果事件的身份、焦点人物角色、关系或结果被误解，一个合理的事件可能暗示错误的情感。因此，我们提出了AffectReveal，这是一个无需调优的框架，首先在这些影响情感的关键因素上构建并独立验证基于证据的替代方案。然后，它通过双向原子证据支持，将恢复的事件与面部遮蔽的媒体事实进行交叉验证，同时保留原始未遮蔽的输入以进行最终预测。在三个下游模型和四种输入设置中，AffectReveal的平均无偏识别率（UAR）提高了5.26到10.53个百分点。对于三个可调优的模型，它还使未调优的模型在所有12个准确性比较中超越其调优后的仅视觉对照组，而无需更新下游参数。

Beyond Legibility: Benchmarking Visual Text Rendering and In-Place Editing in Unified Video Generation
超越可读性：统一视频生成中的视觉文本渲染与就地编辑基准测试
Abstract
A video can exhibit convincing motion and photorealism yet fail immediately when visual text collapses. Unlike generic scene content, visual text is unforgiving in video generation: minor stroke corruption, temporal instability, or editing errors instantly break legibility and realism. Existing benchmarks overlook this challenge by treating text as incidental or using static OCR metrics that ignore temporal dynamics. We introduce VidScribe, a unified diagnostic benchmark spanning four generation regimes: writing from language (T2V), transferring text identity from a reference (R2V), sustaining text under dynamics (I2V), and localized text editing (V2V). VidScribe contains 803 human-verified samples across a 12-axis conditionally orthogonal factor space covering Intrinsic Text Properties, Physical Imaging Conditions, and Temporal Behavior. For reliable evaluation, we build a track-grounded, gated suite with 11 shared metrics and 2 task-specific probes under strict measurability conditions. Benchmarking 11 commercial and open-source systems shows that video text capability is non-monolithic, with content recognition decoupled from stroke-level glyph correctness. Performance is highly task-asymmetric: I2V sustains text most reliably, whereas V2V editing is the primary bottleneck. Counter-intuitively, degradation concentrates on a small subset of text-centric structural and temporal factors rather than adverse imaging conditions. Further probes show that visual references improve glyph and typographic fidelity rather than content accuracy, while localized editing fails to isolate target text without corrupting undeclared source text. Beyond evaluation, VidScribe also provides an actionable training signal, where benchmark-aligned preference optimization measurably improves visual text generation. https://huggingface.co/datasets/Vicky0720/VidScribe.

Scaling Video Generation for Reasoning: At What Cost?
视频生成的规模化推理：代价是什么？
Abstract
We study whether scaling video generation enables models to reason about hidden information from the past frames, and at what computational cost. Our controlled benchmark requires predicting nine prescribed moves of an initially solved 2x2x2 Rubik's Cube from a fixed view of three faces. Correct predictions require inferring how actions change hidden states, and the simulator provides exact ground truth for evaluation. Models learn plausible cube geometry early, while correct sticker configurations require substantially more training. Although validation MSE follows approximate power-law scaling, lower MSE loss does not reliably indicate downstream reasoning capabilities. Smaller autoregressive models achieve higher state accuracy with limited compute, while larger models reach higher accuracy after more training. At roughly 0.1 PF-days, the 70M-parameter model correctly predicts the visible sticker configuration in 44.6% of post-action frames, compared with 0.3% for the 1B model, which reaches 83.7% at 3.14 PF-days. Symbolic state supervision raises the 20M model's frame accuracy from 31.1% to 67.3% at the same training-data budget, suggesting that learning representations of state changes can complement scaling.

Pixel-wise Exposure for Highly Robust In-Vehicle Remote-PPG
像素级曝光以实现高鲁棒性的车载远程光电容积脉搏波监测
Abstract
Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) offers a promising non-contact solution for heart rate monitoring, yet its real-world robustness is fundamentally limited by an inherent hardware limitation: existing camera exposure control paradigms, whether fixed or auto-exposure, impose a uniform exposure time across all pixels within a frame. In high-dynamic-range scenes such as automotive cabins with strong directional sunlight, this spatially invariant exposure constraint inevitably leads to localized facial overexposure or underexposure, irreversibly corrupting the subtle pulsatile signals essential for rPPG at the point of capture, a physical degradation that no downstream algorithm can recover. To overcome this bottleneck, we propose PixExpo (Pixel-wise Exposure), a "temporal-for-spatial" framework that sequentially captures frames under a predefined cyclic exposure schedule and performs non-iterative pixel-wise fusion. At each pixel location, PixExpo selects the observation closest to an rPPG-motivated target intensity. This criterion seeks to reduce local saturation and severe underexposure rather than optimize perceptual appearance. PixExpo requires no sensor modification but assumes programmable frame-level exposure control. We validate the proposed PixExpo framework using our newly introduced MEX-Drive dataset, comprising 48 participants under real-world driving conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that PixExpo outperforms manufacture-default auto-exposure methods, reducing the mean absolute error (MAE) by 7.21 bpm (from 13.94 to 6.73 bpm) and increasing the success rate by 37.29 percentage points (from 25.95% to 63.24%) across challenging driving scenarios.

远程光电容积脉搏波监测（rPPG）为心率监测提供了一种有前景的非接触解决方案，但其在实际应用中的鲁棒性受到固有硬件限制的根本制约：现有的相机曝光控制模式，无论是固定曝光还是自动曝光，都在帧内所有像素上施加了统一的曝光时间。在汽车驾驶舱等高动态范围场景中，强烈的方向性阳光使得这种空间不变的曝光约束不可避免地导致局部面部过曝或欠曝，从而在捕获时不可逆转地破坏了rPPG所需的微弱脉动信号，这种物理降解是任何后续算法都无法恢复的。为了克服这一瓶颈，我们提出了PixExpo（像素级曝光），一种“时间换空间”的框架，该框架在预定义的循环曝光计划下顺序捕获帧，并进行非迭代的像素级融合。在每个像素位置，PixExpo选择最接近rPPG目标强度的观测值。该标准旨在减少局部饱和和严重欠曝，而不是优化感知外观。PixExpo不需要传感器修改，但假设可编程的帧级曝光控制。我们使用新引入的MEX-Drive数据集验证了所提出的PixExpo框架，该数据集包含48名参与者在真实驾驶条件下的数据。实验结果表明，PixExpo优于制造商默认的自动曝光方法，平均绝对误差（MAE）降低了7.21 bpm（从13.94降至6.73 bpm），成功率提高了37.29个百分点（从25.95%升至63.24%），在具有挑战性的驾驶场景中表现突出。

CrossTimeEdit: A Decade-Spanning Cross-View Dataset and Reward-Guided Editing for Historical Street-View Generation
CrossTimeEdit：跨越十年的跨视角数据集与历史街景生成的奖励引导编辑
Abstract
Historical street-view imagery records urban evolution, but uneven coverage leaves substantial gaps in historical records. Generating plausible past appearances requires restoring changed structures while preserving persistent scene content. We construct VIGOR-his, a decade-spanning cross-view dataset containing 43,653 location-level quadruplets across 11 cities on three continents. Its automated pipeline performs spatial pairing, consistency screening, change classification, and the generation and validation of satellite-based change descriptions and local editing instructions. Based on VIGOR-his, we propose CrossTimeEdit, a model that reformulates historical street-view generation as editing, using recent street views to constrain viewpoint and unchanged appearance and temporal satellite differences as change evidence. Starting from FLUX.2 [Klein] 4B, we train CrossTimeEdit through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) followed by online reinforcement learning (RL). We design three street-view editing criteria, namely Instruction Alignment (IA), Background Preservation (BP), and Quality and Physical Plausibility (QP), as both RL reward dimensions and evaluation metrics. We optimize this multi-reward objective using Within Group Relative Policy Optimization for flow-matching models (Flow-GRPO) with Group reward-Decoupled Normalization Policy Optimization (GDPO), which normalizes each reward dimension before aggregation. CrossTimeEdit improves overall performance across the three editing criteria by 17.12\% over the pretrained baseline and outperforms cross-view generation models in scene consistency, visual realism, and perceptual quality. The implementation code, dataset, and model weights are available at https://luhanwen67.github.io/CrossTimeEdit-release/.

Beyond Binary Preferences: Graded Preference Optimization for Limb-Motion Captioning
超越二元偏好：肢体运动字幕的分级偏好优化
Abstract
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) can generate rich video captions, yet often misidentify which person performs an action or which limb is involved, particularly across camera cuts. Improving these details requires evaluation and training that distinguish missing information from incorrect assertions. We introduce FlexBench, a benchmark spanning 3,105 shots and 18,161 evaluation queries, with human-verified identities and systematic per-person coverage of fine-grained limb actions and states. Its reference-derived checklists support automated assessment of complete captions in their person and shot contexts. Our Graded Physical Alignment score (GPA) awards credit for correct content and deducts points for incorrect or fabricated actions, making these errors explicit in the aggregate score. Building on this rubric, we propose Graded Margin Direct Preference Optimization (GM-DPO), which assigns stronger preference margins and greater training weight to more severe action errors. Across three VLM backbones, GM-DPO achieves the highest substantive-action and GPA scores among the evaluated preference objectives, improving GPA over DPO by 2.02-3.40 points. On Qwen3-8B, it reduces the weighted hallucination rate by 21.3% relative to DPO. These gains accompany sustained long-form output, improved shot structure, and competitive performance on three additional multimodal benchmarks.

OCA: ODE-Driven Cross-Attention for Image-to-Point-Cloud Registration
OCA：基于常微分方程的图像到点云配准的交叉注意力
Abstract
Cross-attention is a crucial component in learning-based image-to-point-cloud (I2P) registration. Although existing cross-attention mechanisms have achieved promising progress, attention ambiguity remains a fundamental challenge that hinders the learning of discriminative 2D-3D correspondences. To address this problem, we revisit cross-attention and establish ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to model the ideal I2P feature interaction. Based on this formulation, we develop an ODE-driven cross-attention (OCA) module that refines feature representations and attention matrices through ODEs. In practice, OCA can be seamlessly integrated into existing I2P registration frameworks. To validate its effectiveness, we incorporate OCA into five state-of-the-art baselines and evaluate on four public benchmark datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that OCA improves registration recall by up to 5\%, 9\%, and 15\% under the standard, fine-tuning, and zero-shot settings, respectively.

交叉注意力是基于学习的图像到点云（I2P）配准中的一个关键组成部分。尽管现有的交叉注意力机制取得了令人鼓舞的进展，但注意力模糊性仍然是一个基本挑战，阻碍了判别性2D-3D对应关系的学习。为了解决这个问题，我们重新审视交叉注意力，并建立常微分方程（ODE）来建模理想的I2P特征交互。基于这一公式，我们开发了一个基于ODE的交叉注意力（OCA）模块，通过ODE来优化特征表示和注意力矩阵。在实践中，OCA可以无缝集成到现有的I2P配准框架中。为了验证其有效性，我们将OCA融入五个最先进的基线，并在四个公共基准数据集上进行评估。实验结果表明，在标准、微调和零样本设置下，OCA分别提高了配准召回率最多5%、9%和15%。

VLM4Cluster: Benchmarking Deep Clustering In the Era of Vision-Language Pre-training
VLM4Cluster：在视觉-语言预训练时代的深度聚类基准测试
Abstract
Vision-language pre-training has reshaped image clustering, giving rise to language-assisted image clustering (LaIC), which leverages textual semantics to complement visual representations. Despite the rapid proliferation of LaIC methods, it remains unclear how much LaIC has actually advanced image clustering, as existing studies generally suffer from major limitations, including inconsistent experimental settings, inadequate dataset selection, and limited evaluation dimensions. To address this gap, we introduce VLM4Cluster, a comprehensive benchmark for image clustering in the era of pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs). VLM4Cluster implements 17 representative methods spanning classical, deep, and language-assisted image clustering, and evaluates them on 20 datasets covering classical, challenging, fine-grained, large-scale, and out-of-distribution settings. Beyond effectiveness, VLM4Cluster systematically investigates image clustering along three complementary dimensions: robustness to adversarial perturbations, generalization under distribution shifts, and computational efficiency. Our study shows that LaIC substantially advances the clustering performance frontier on many semantically demanding benchmarks, generally exhibits stronger generalization under distribution shifts, and achieves a more favorable effectiveness-efficiency trade-off. However, its gains become less consistent on large-scale and fine-grained datasets, while language assistance does not systematically reduce sensitivity to adversarial perturbations.

FocusVTC: Efficient and High-Performance Visual Text Compression with Adaptive Resolution
FocusVTC：具有自适应分辨率的高效高性能视觉文本压缩
Abstract
Long-context reasoning in large language models incurs substantial computation and memory costs. Visual text compression (VTC) reduces input length by rendering text as images, but fixed-resolution rendering creates a compression-performance trade-off: low DPI saves tokens at the expense of legibility, whereas high DPI spends tokens on irrelevant content. We introduce FocusVTC, which breaks this trade-off through adaptive resolution while preserving general multimodal capabilities. It combines compressed low-DPI global views with selective region enhancement, integrating enhanced views into ongoing reasoning. We construct 29.4K high-quality Reasoning-Evidence Localization (REL) chain-of-thought examples (REL-CoT) that link reasoning traces to page indices and bounding boxes. Multi-resolution REL supervised fine-tuning (REL-SFT) teaches the model to localize relevant regions, and Group Relative Policy Optimization learns when to enhance resolution and how to use the resulting observations, without a separate continual-pretraining stage. At 72 DPI on RULER v1, FocusVTC scores 87.4 at $2.9\times$ input compression, including tool observations, versus 57.5 for Glyph at $3.0\times$ input compression. It surpasses its text-input backbone on LongBench (56.40 versus 55.86), improves the MRCR macro-average by 13.91 points, and achieves a 51.19 macro-average on VTCBench. The MRCR latency evaluation also shows a $2.79\times$ online end-to-end speedup over Text. General multimodal capabilities are preserved, with MMMU increasing from 65.12 to 66.73 and MME from 2424.02 to 2457.62.

Not Every Correction Helps: Gain-Guided Continual Test-Time Adaptation
并非每次修正都有帮助：增益引导的持续测试时适应
Abstract
Continual test-time adaptation (CTTA) adapts a source model to an unlabeled test stream whose distribution may change over time. Existing TTA methods often assess prediction reliability using confidence or entropy, which primarily reflect the model's self-certainty for the current sample. In CTTA, accumulated target observations can provide complementary evidence for correcting the source prediction, but this history may become misaligned as the target distribution changes. The key question is therefore not how much the correction differs from the source prediction, but whether and how strongly it should be applied. This paper proposes Gain-Aware INtervention (GAIN), a backpropagation-free CTTA framework guided by a simple principle: history proposes, gain decides. GAIN maintains compact target statistics to form a correction proposal and a posterior-predictive evaluator that accounts for estimation uncertainty. The resulting source-relative gain estimates the proposal's benefit and determines a sample-specific intervention strength along a continuous path through efficient one-dimensional optimization. Gain-controlled predictions then update the target statistics online, limiting the propagation of unreliable corrections, all without backpropagation, sample storage, or replay. Across five benchmarks, our method achieves strong predictive performance, with favorable accuracy--calibration--efficiency trade-offs in continual adaptation. On ImageNet-C, for example, GAIN achieves 61.9% accuracy with near-source calibration. It remains stable under diverse and challenging continual shifts while running 15.9x faster than a representative optimization-based CTTA baseline.

持续测试时适应（CTTA）旨在将源模型适应于一个可能随时间变化的无标签测试流。现有的测试时适应（TTA）方法通常使用置信度或熵来评估预测的可靠性，这主要反映了模型对当前样本的自我确定性。在CTTA中，累积的目标观察可以为修正源预测提供补充证据，但随着目标分布的变化，这一历史可能会变得不一致。因此，关键问题不在于修正与源预测的差异有多大，而在于是否以及多强烈地应用这种修正。本文提出了一种增益感知干预（Gain-Aware INtervention，GAIN）框架，这是一个无反向传播的CTTA框架，基于一个简单的原则：历史提出，增益决定。GAIN维护紧凑的目标统计数据，以形成修正提案和考虑估计不确定性的后验预测评估器。由此产生的源相对增益估计提案的收益，并通过高效的一维优化确定样本特定的干预强度。增益控制的预测随后在线更新目标统计，限制不可靠修正的传播，所有这些都不需要反向传播、样本存储或重放。在五个基准测试中，我们的方法实现了强大的预测性能，在持续适应中实现了良好的准确性-校准-效率权衡。例如，在ImageNet-C上，GAIN实现了61.9%的准确率，并且接近源校准。它在多样且具有挑战性的持续变化下保持稳定，同时运行速度比一个代表性的基于优化的CTTA基线快15.9倍。

You Only Reprogram Once: Rethinking Prolonged Training for Visual Reprogramming
你只需一次重编程：重新思考视觉重编程的长期训练
Abstract
Visual reprogramming is a parameter-efficient method for adapting pretrained models, yet its training can remain computationally expensive: even with a frozen backbone, visual prompts are often optimized through the full model for hundreds of epochs. Before changing what the pretrained model sees, we ask whether we are fully using what it already tells us. We find that modeling the full source response can already yield strong downstream predictions without prompt optimization. Motivated by this observation, we introduce You Only Reprogram Once (YORO), which constructs a downstream predictor from the frozen response space in a single forward-only traversal. Its Bayesian Discriminant Mapping (BDM) derives a covariance-aware affine mapping from streaming class statistics, requiring no backpropagation, optimizer updates, or repeated visits to the training set. When further input adaptation helps, YORO-FP optionally refines the visual prompt for 20 epochs. BDM also extends naturally to CLIP by treating attribute-prompt similarities as source responses. Across three full-data settings, YORO improves average accuracy over the strongest prior gradient-free mapping by 18.4--24.4\%. On 16-shot CLIP, it raises the four-backbone average from 71.4\% to 77.2\%. YORO-FP provides further gains on selected tasks, while validation often retains the one-pass predictor. These results suggest a different default for visual reprogramming: read out the frozen response first, and optimize the input only when needed.

ReWorld-Track: A Recursive Event World Model for Language-Guided Multi-Camera Tracking
ReWorld-Track：一种递归事件世界模型用于语言引导的多摄像头跟踪
Abstract
Language-guided multi-camera tracking must preserve a target identity across unobserved gaps, where similar candidates and uncertain returns can make early associations unreliable. A wrong match can corrupt the history used to predict later observations and propagate identity errors across subsequent camera handoffs. We propose ReWorld-Track, a recursive event world model that carries association uncertainty into future predictions. Candidate matches and continued waiting define alternative target states, whose posterior probabilities are used to update a persistent recurrent belief. This representation preserves uncertainty about alternative trajectories through successive observations. This belief predicts the next camera, arrival time, and entry region, while appearance and language evidence guide association. By training across successive handoffs, the model learns to retain uncertainty that remains useful for later predictions and identity decisions. ReWorld-Track achieves HOTA scores of 65.19 on CityFlowV2 and 45.36 on MTMMC, with improved identity continuity across repeated handoffs. On MTMMC, its structured posterior update gains 0.50 HOTA points over a similarly sized generic updater and 0.94 points over fixed-moment soft association, raising next-camera accuracy from 86.03% to 87.41% and reducing median arrival-time error from 0.78 s to 0.71 s for subsequent target returns.

Reprogramming Vision-Language Models via Structured Prompt Reparameterization
通过结构化提示重参数化重新编程视觉-语言模型
Abstract
Visual reprogramming adapts pretrained models to downstream tasks by modifying their input and output interfaces while keeping the backbone fixed. In vision-language models, existing methods mainly rely on intra-class prompt aggregation and do not explicitly model relationships among classes. However, fine-grained categories often exhibit highly overlapping attribute descriptions and strong inter-class correlation in the text embedding space, where discriminative cues lie in subtle low-variance components. We propose Reparameterized Inter-Class Visual Reprogramming (RVP), a structured framework that aggregates multiple text prompts within each class and applies residual correction across classes. We also show that CLIP-based visual reprogramming with input-independent linear output aggregation can be expressed as a linear mapping from frozen image embeddings to downstream logits, and use this view to design a structured reparameterization that models shared semantic components and class-specific differences. RVP uses only a single visual prompt and can be reparameterized at inference into a frozen backbone followed by a linear classifier, incurring nearly zero computational overhead. Across 11 few-shot classification benchmarks and four CLIP backbones, RVP consistently improves over prior visual reprogramming methods with comparable or better inference efficiency.

When Semantics Matter: Reliability-Aware Semantic-Rhythm Control for Co-Speech Gesture Generation
语义重要性：面向共语手势生成的可靠性感知语义-节奏控制
Abstract
Co-speech gesture generation aims to synthesize natural gestures that are both temporally synchronized with speech and semantically consistent with the spoken content. Although recent methods can generate rhythmically plausible motions, they often rely heavily on acoustic prosody while underutilizing textual semantics, especially when semantic annotations are incomplete, noisy, or unavailable. Consequently, the generated gestures may follow speech rhythm while failing to express the intended semantics. To address this problem, we propose a reliability-aware semantic-rhythm control framework for co-speech gesture generation. We first learn a discrete motion prior that represents continuous gestures in a compact and structured motion-code space. We then introduce a dual-branch semantic contribution estimation mechanism consisting of a full multimodal branch and an audio-only branch. Their distributional discrepancy is formulated as conditional information gain to quantify how much textual semantics changes the predicted motion. Based on this estimate, a controllable semantic-rhythm objective selectively strengthens semantic guidance in content-relevant segments while limiting unnecessary semantic intervention in rhythm-dominant segments. Furthermore, we treat background noise as an acoustic reliability condition and introduce noise-conditioned feature modulation together with beneficial latent perturbation to improve generation robustness under realistic acoustic environments. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves a favorable balance among semantic expressiveness, rhythmic synchronization, motion diversity, and robustness, enabling reliable and controllable co-speech gesture generation.

AESplat: Advancing Pose-Free Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting via Decoupled Appearance Modeling
AESplat：通过解耦外观建模推进无姿态前馈3D高斯点云渲染
Abstract
Pose-free feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has demonstrated remarkable potential for generalized novel view synthesis. However, existing methods typically predict Gaussian appearance attributes represented by spherical harmonics (SH) in the same manner, overlooking the fundamental distinction between view-independent and view-dependent appearance, which results in suboptimal rendering quality. In this paper, we present AESplat, a novel and general framework for pose-free feed-forward 3DGS that introduces an effective decoupled appearance modeling strategy based on an analysis of SH, enabling higher-quality rendering. Specifically, AESplat directly derives the zeroth-order SH coefficient, which represents the base view-independent appearance component, from the input images without training. The higher-order SH coefficients are subsequently predicted by a shallow multilayer perceptron equipped with two efficient 3D-aware inductive biases to model view-dependent appearance variations. Extensive experiments across multiple datasets demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, achieving a $0.8$ dB improvement in PSNR over the pose-free method NAS3R and a $1.1$ dB improvement over the pose-required method DepthSplat on the RealEstate10K dataset.

Drag as Evidence: Motion-Grounded Latent Recomposition for Drag-Based Editing
拖动作为证据：基于运动的拖动编辑的潜在重组
Abstract
Modern image editors excel at semantic manipulation and visual synthesis, yet remain limited in precise spatial control, motivating the development of drag-based editing. However, existing drag-based methods often struggle to balance drag accuracy with natural, plausible, and intent-aligned generation. We propose MoRe-Drag, a motion-grounded drag-based editing method. Our key insight is to treat pixel-space warping as coarse motion evidence, and to inject this evidence into the generative sampling trajectory. Specifically, MoRe-Drag performs region-aware latent recomposition over refinement, inpainting, and anchor regions, coupled with stage-adaptive conditioning that progressively shifts from motion-grounded structure formation to semantic refinement. We further support an instruction-free interface by adapting the MLLM-based text encoder for drag-aware instruction inference. Experiments on DragBench-SR and DragBench-DR show that MoRe-Drag substantially improves drag precision over strong base editors and achieves superior drag accuracy among SOTA drag-based methods, while delivering strong semantic consistency and visually realistic results. Code and dataset will be publicly released.

NesTok: Nested Self-Aligned 1D Tokenizer for Autoregressive Image Generation
NesTok：用于自回归图像生成的嵌套自对齐一维标记器
Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) variable-length visual tokenizers enable adaptive compression by varying the number of tokens, allowing downstream autoregressive (AR) models to flexibly trade off generation quality against computational cost using a single tokenizer. However, existing approaches based on nested dropout often fail to fully exploit the representational capacity of the tokenizer, resulting in suboptimal performance in both image reconstruction and generation. In this work, we introduce NesTok, a nested self-alignment framework tailored to dynamic visual tokenizers. NesTok introduces cross-length training, which jointly optimizes reconstruction across token lengths while using the full-length sequence to guide shorter counterparts, enabling shorter token sequences to approach the reconstruction quality of full-length sequences. On ImageNet, NesTok improves substantially over standard training and achieves an rFID score of 0.98. On downstream image generation, it achieves the state-of-the-art gFID score of 1.46 on ImageNet 256$\times$256 among existing variable-length autoregressive image generation methods. Code will be available at https://github.com/jaiwei804/NesTok.

FastVR: Efficient Streaming Video Restoration with One-Step Diffusion
FastVR：基于一步扩散的高效流媒体视频修复
Abstract
Diffusion-based video restoration recovers realistic details, but its practical deployment is limited by two efficiency bottlenecks: costly VAE encoding and decoding, and the quadratic cost of full self-attention in diffusion transformers (DiTs). This paper presents FastVR, a streaming video restoration framework built on a one-step diffusion model, which delivers strong restoration quality and temporal consistency while processing 1080p video at 11 FPS on a single H20 GPU. To improve inference efficiency, FastVR combines a lightweight VAE with chunk-wise causal attention, which substantially reduces the computational cost. During training, it further adopts velocity consistency regularization and continuous trajectory learning, which improve restoration quality. Extensive experiments show that FastVR is more efficient than the evaluated diffusion baselines while achieving state-of-the-art performance on synthetic and real-world benchmarks. We hope that this work supports further progress in the community.

However, existing learners either repeatedly update components shared across tasks, leading to knowledge overwriting, or overly isolate new-task updates, hindering the reuse of CLIP's transferable knowledge and limiting plasticity. Moreover, the text-based or bimodal classifier designs still fail to effectively integrate complementary information from the visual and textual modalities. To address these challenges, we introduce DuLBE, which couples dual-mode low-rank learning with a bridge-prototype ensemble classifier for exemplar-free CIL. DuLBE allocates two visual low-rank update modes according to the gradient demand and uses gradient routing to coordinate them: a compact and rewritable shared mode is selected from historically occupied visual directions to reuse transferable knowledge, while residual modes provide low-interference channels for task-specific variations. Building on the resulting stable inter-modal structure, we further construct geodesic bridges between visual prototypes and text embeddings on the unit hypersphere, and ensemble reliable bridge prototypes to compensate for the modality-gap limitations of textual decision boundaries. Extensive experiments under multiple settings show that DuLBE achieves state-of-the-art CIL performance while retaining the high parameter efficiency of low-rank tuning.

得益于可转移的视觉-文本对齐，CLIP已被广泛应用于类增量学习（CIL）。然而，现有学习者要么反复更新跨任务共享的组件，导致知识被覆盖，要么过于孤立新任务的更新，妨碍了CLIP可转移知识的重用并限制了可塑性。此外，基于文本或双模分类器的设计仍未能有效整合来自视觉和文本模态的互补信息。为了解决这些挑战，我们提出了DuLBE，它将双模低秩学习与桥接原型集成分类器结合，用于无示例的CIL。DuLBE根据梯度需求分配两种视觉低秩更新模式，并使用梯度路由进行协调：从历史占用的视觉方向中选择一个紧凑且可重写的共享模式以重用可转移知识，而残余模式则为任务特定的变化提供低干扰通道。在此基础上，我们进一步在单位超球面上构建视觉原型与文本嵌入之间的测地桥，并集成可靠的桥接原型以弥补文本决策边界的模态差距限制。在多种设置下进行的广泛实验表明，DuLBE在保持低秩调优高参数效率的同时，实现了最先进的CIL性能。

DSPO: Diversity-aware Subjective Policy Optimization for Robust Emotional Reasoning
DSPO：面向多样性的主观策略优化以增强情感推理的鲁棒性
Abstract
Reinforcement Learning has significantly advanced the complex reasoning capabilities of MLLMs. However, prevailing RL algorithms suffer a severe failure in emotion reasoning tasks. These methods heavily rely on deterministic hard-label supervision and point-wise isolated evaluation, creating a fundamental gap with the inherently subjective and continuously distributed nature of human emotions. Furthermore, unlike explicit physical objects, emotional states are deeply implicit within visual cues. This abstract nature exacerbates visual hallucinations in MLLMs, leading to plausible yet ungrounded emotional evidence. To address these limitations, we propose Diversity-Aware Subjective Policy Optimization (DSPO), a reinforcement learning framework that jointly promotes subjective affective coverage and visual grounding. First, we construct a context-grounded emotional distribution prior in the VAD space by combining the lexical prior of the annotated emotion with image-specific contextual information. Based on this prior, we introduce a Distribution-Aligned Emotional Diversity Reward (DEDR), which measures the leave-one-out marginal contribution of each candidate emotion within a rollout. DEDR rewards candidates whose inclusion brings the predicted affective set closer to the context-grounded prior, thereby preserving plausible subjective interpretations without encouraging unconstrained dispersion. We further develop Counterfactual Visual Intervention Gating (CVIG), which masks the visual region highlighted in the reasoning process and uses the resulting candidate-wise probability changes to reduce the weights of interpretations unsupported by visual evidence. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DSPO achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple public benchmarks, especially on the cross-domain performance, i.e., improving +10.8\% on average cross-domain accuracy than EMO-R3.

强化学习显著提升了多模态大语言模型（MLLMs）在复杂推理能力方面的表现。然而，现有的强化学习算法在情感推理任务中表现不佳。这些方法严重依赖于确定性的硬标签监督和逐点孤立评估，导致与人类情感固有的主观性和连续分布特性之间存在根本性差距。此外，与显性物理对象不同，情感状态在视觉线索中深藏隐晦。这种抽象特性加剧了多模态大语言模型中的视觉幻觉，导致看似合理但缺乏实证支持的情感证据。为了解决这些局限性，我们提出了面向多样性的主观策略优化（Diversity-Aware Subjective Policy Optimization, DSPO），这是一种强化学习框架，旨在共同促进主观情感覆盖和视觉基础。首先，我们通过结合注释情感的词汇先验和图像特定的上下文信息，在情感-价值-激励（VAD）空间中构建一个上下文基础的情感分布先验。基于该先验，我们引入了分布对齐的情感多样性奖励（Distribution-Aligned Emotional Diversity Reward, DEDR），该奖励衡量每个候选情感在回滚过程中的逐一边际贡献。DEDR奖励那些其纳入使得预测的情感集合更接近上下文基础先验的候选，从而保留合理的主观解释而不鼓励无约束的分散。我们进一步开发了反事实视觉干预门控（Counterfactual Visual Intervention Gating, CVIG），该方法掩盖推理过程中突出显示的视觉区域，并利用由此产生的候选概率变化来降低不被视觉证据支持的解释的权重。大量实验表明，DSPO在多个公共基准上达到了最先进的性能，特别是在跨领域性能上，即在平均跨领域准确率上比EMO-R3提高了10.8%。

Causal-EVC: Breaking Emotional Spurious Causality via Spatiotemporal Grounding and Counterfactual Intervention
因果-EVC：通过时空基础和反事实干预打破情感虚假因果关系
Abstract
Emotional Video Captioning aims to generate factually accurate and emotionally empathetic descriptions. While recent methods have recognized the importance of visual causes to guide emotion perception and caption generation, they fundamentally rely on simple attention matching, which inevitably suffers from {causal redundancy and spurious correlations} in co-occurrence bias (e.g., misclassifying ``sadness'' as ``joy'' on a sunny beach), leading to severe shortcut learning from confusing backgrounds. Furthermore, existing evaluations fail to verify whether models have genuinely mastered causal reasoning or merely exploited background confounders. To address these limitations, we first construct {EVC-CauseGround}, a comprehensive benchmark with dense spatio-temporal causal annotations. Crucially, it introduces a carefully selected {Causal-Faithfulness Subset} to explicitly quantify genuine emotion-cause attribution. Second, we propose {Causal-EVC}, an emotion-grounding captioning framework, which introduces a Motion-guided Causal Spatiotemporal Localization module to precisely decouple causal triggers from background confounders. Besides, we introduce an Interpretable Sparse Emotion Routing module. By synthesizing counterfactual representations and formulating a novel counterfactual contrastive objective, we enforce the model to anchor its emotion predictions strictly on authentic causal triggers instead of confusing background. Extensive experiments show that Causal-EVC not only achieves the best performance on semantic metrics but also exhibits significant advantages in the causal-faithfulness subset, which demonstrates that our model could mine emotional cues from genuine visual causes and mitigate co-occurrence bias for interpretable multimodal emotion understanding.

情感视频描述旨在生成事实准确且情感共鸣的描述。尽管近期的方法已经认识到视觉因果关系在引导情感感知和描述生成中的重要性，但它们基本上依赖于简单的注意力匹配，这不可避免地受到共现偏差中的{因果冗余和虚假相关性}的影响（例如，在阳光明媚的海滩上将“悲伤”错误分类为“快乐”），导致从混淆背景中严重的捷径学习。此外，现有的评估未能验证模型是否真正掌握了因果推理，还是仅仅利用了背景混淆因素。为了解决这些局限性，我们首先构建了{EVC-CauseGround}，这是一个具有密集时空因果注释的综合基准。关键是，它引入了一个精心选择的{因果可信度子集}，以明确量化真实的情感-因果归因。其次，我们提出了{因果-EVC}，一个情感基础的描述生成框架，介绍了一个运动引导的因果时空定位模块，以精确地将因果触发因素与背景混淆因素解耦。此外，我们引入了一个可解释的稀疏情感路由模块。通过合成反事实表示并制定一个新的反事实对比目标，我们强制模型将其情感预测严格锚定在真实的因果触发因素上，而不是混淆的背景。大量实验表明，因果-EVC不仅在语义指标上实现了最佳性能，而且在因果可信度子集上表现出显著优势，这表明我们的模型能够从真实的视觉因果中挖掘情感线索，并减轻共现偏差，从而实现可解释的多模态情感理解。

Decoding Affective Nuances: Enhancing MLLMs via Hierarchical Emotion Reasoning and Contrastive Discriminative Pruning
解码情感细微差别：通过层次情感推理和对比性判别修剪增强多模态大型语言模型
Abstract
While multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in objective understanding tasks, their performance in affective reasoning still falls significantly short of human standards. We attribute it to a central capability gap: MLLMs are difficult to reliably distinguish semantically proximal emotions based on fine-grained visual evidence, which could be decoupled as two limitations: 1) Insufficient Attribution. The global reasoning paradigm of conventional MLLMs severely dilutes fine-grained emotion cues, where subtle emotional states are usually implicitly encoded, thereby generating emotional misjudgments in complex scenarios. 2) Insufficient Discrimination. Existing methods could only identify regions generally associated with emotions, which fails to distinguish discriminative regions between semantically similar emotions, leading to ambiguous emotion judgements. To overcome these limitations, we present a training-free inference-time optimization framework, named Decoding Affective Nuances (DAN). Specifically, we propose a Hierarchical Emotional Reasoning Chain (HERC) that enhances the insufficient attribution by harmonizing fine-grained scene/object-level cues and performing a soft-gated reasoning. Furthermore, to discriminate between semantically proximal emotions, we design a Contrastive Discriminative Visual Pruning (CDVP), which isolates discriminative visual tokens to reason the final emotion category by computing the absolute discrepancy between the attention distributions of similar emotions. Performances on several benchmarks demonstrate that DAN significantly improves discrimination for affective nuances without consuming additional training resources, especially achieving +10.47% improvements with Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct on WebEmo25 dataset that contains 25 fine-grained emotion categories.

尽管多模态大型语言模型（MLLMs）在客观理解任务中表现出色，但它们在情感推理方面的表现仍显著低于人类标准。我们将其归因于一个核心能力差距：MLLMs难以基于细粒度的视觉证据可靠地区分语义上相近的情感，这可以分解为两个局限性：1）归因不足。传统MLLMs的全球推理范式严重稀释了细粒度情感线索，其中微妙的情感状态通常是隐式编码的，从而在复杂场景中产生情感误判。2）判别不足。现有方法只能识别与情感普遍相关的区域，未能区分语义相似情感之间的判别区域，导致情感判断模糊。为了克服这些局限性，我们提出了一种无训练的推理时优化框架，称为解码情感细微差别（DAN）。具体而言，我们提出了一个层次情感推理链（HERC），通过协调细粒度场景/对象级线索并执行软门控推理来增强不足的归因。此外，为了区分语义上相近的情感，我们设计了一种对比性判别视觉修剪（CDVP），通过计算相似情感的注意力分布之间的绝对差异，隔离判别视觉标记以推理最终的情感类别。在多个基准测试上的表现表明，DAN显著提高了情感细微差别的判别能力，而不消耗额外的训练资源，特别是在包含25个细粒度情感类别的WebEmo25数据集上，使用Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct实现了+10.47%的提升。

Seeing What Should Be Heard: Diagnosing and Repairing Cross-Modal Shortcuts in Omni-Modal LLMs
看见应当听到的：诊断和修复全模态大型语言模型中的跨模态捷径
Abstract
Omni-modal large language models (LLMs) are expected to answer a question using the modality it explicitly refers to. However, existing training paradigms rarely verify whether models actually follow this modality, because multimodal inputs from the same sample often provide redundant evidence for the same answer. In this work, we uncover a pervasive cross-modal shortcut in omni-modal LLMs: when asked an audio-related question, models rely on the image as much as on the audio, and sometimes even more. To systematically diagnose this behavior, we introduce the Factorized Modality Diagnostic, which independently swaps audio and images between samples to isolate each modality's causal contribution. Across two model families in different settings, we find that this shortcut persists throughout supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning post-training, while judge-based RL may further amplify such reliance on irrelevant visual information. Based on this finding, we propose DMC-Repair, which trains models on the same kind of cross-modal swapped samples while assigning supervision according to the modality specified by the question. This prevents models from exploiting the spurious correspondence between modalities within the same clip. Experiments demonstrate that DMC-Repair reduces the image-induced share of the answer effect by 59.9%, effectively suppressing the cross-modal shortcut without compromising audio-question answering performance. The reduction in shortcut reliance generalizes across two model families and zero-shot to an unseen dataset and an unseen benchmark, and persists through subsequent post-training.

全模态大型语言模型（LLMs）被期望能够使用其明确提及的模态来回答问题。然而，现有的训练范式很少验证模型是否真正遵循这一模态，因为来自同一样本的多模态输入往往为同一答案提供冗余证据。在本研究中，我们揭示了全模态 LLMs 中普遍存在的跨模态捷径：当被问及与音频相关的问题时，模型在多大程度上依赖于图像，甚至有时比音频更依赖。为了系统地诊断这种行为，我们引入了因子化模态诊断（Factorized Modality Diagnostic），该方法独立地在样本之间交换音频和图像，以隔离每种模态的因果贡献。在不同设置下的两个模型系列中，我们发现这种捷径在监督微调和强化学习后训练中持续存在，而基于评判的强化学习可能进一步加剧对无关视觉信息的依赖。基于这一发现，我们提出了 DMC-Repair，该方法在同类跨模态交换样本上训练模型，同时根据问题指定的模态分配监督。这防止了模型利用同一片段内模态之间的虚假对应关系。实验表明，DMC-Repair 将图像引起的答案效应减少了 59.9%，有效抑制了跨模态捷径，而不影响音频问题回答的性能。捷径依赖的减少在两个模型系列之间具有普遍性，并且在零样本情况下适用于未见数据集和未见基准，并在后续的后训练中持续存在。代码可在 https://anonymous.4open.science/r/DMC-Repair 获取。

Scene Retargeting: Learning Object Placement with Analogical Transfer
场景重定向：通过类比转移学习物体放置
Abstract
Interactive simulations of embodied AI or spatial computing applications build on realistic 3D scenes that support daily activities. However, sparse, irregular layout structures impose scene-specific physical constraints, making it hard to define a generalizable framework for generating similar functional context. We formalize Scene Retargeting as stably transferring the semantically coherent spatial organization across layouts, rather than relying on textual descriptions or pairwise relationships. Our cluster-wise transfer flexibly handles mismatched object instances and adapts to distinctive floor plans. We optimize to preserve the rich semantic context of individual clusters by respecting the spatial distribution of foundation features. We can then impose physical constraints to refine wall contacts, pairwise alignment, or clear passageways and openings. Our framework outperforms state-of-the-art methods on layout generation on the 3D-FRONT dataset, and demonstrates downstream applications including real-to-sim transfer, analogical trajectory transfer, and multi-reference composition.

EGSD: Event-Grounded Self-Distillation for Streaming Video Understanding
EGSD：基于事件的自蒸馏用于流媒体视频理解
Abstract
Real-time video understanding requires incrementally maintaining a memory of streaming content, and optimizing this requires dense process signals. On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD), which lets one model serve as both teacher and student with the teacher receiving additional privileged information such as the question and ground-truth (GT) answer, can supply such token-level signals. However, applying it directly to streaming video raises two problems. (1) The student cannot be optimized end-to-end, where memory is written before the question arrives, yet the teacher scores it with the question-and-GT privilege, misaligning their preferences. (2) Effective-entity memory collapses, where the question-and-GT privilege makes the teacher favor only question-relevant entities, and token-mean averaging over a memory renders its signal invariant to how many entities that memory covers, both driving memory against the streaming need for diversity. To address these issues, we propose Event-Grounded Self-Distillation (EGSD), which characterizes streaming memory as an incremental update over verifiable Events (key visual entities, actions, and details) and targets the two problems on this basis. For problem (1), we adapt the OPSD signal into a multiplicative weight combined with the outcome reward; for problem (2), we re-weight the teacher with Events as privileged information to counter its question-relevance bias, and add an entity-coverage reward to supply the coverage preference the token-mean teacher lacks. Extensive experiments on mainstream online and offline benchmarks show EGSD achieves strong performance, reaching 79.8% on StreamingBench and 73.4% on the OVO-Bench Real-Time track, while memory analysis shows effective-entity recall rises 17.4% at only 6.8% more memory length.

实时视频理解需要增量地维护流媒体内容的记忆，而优化这一过程需要密集的过程信号。在线自蒸馏（On-Policy Self-Distillation, OPSD）允许一个模型同时充当教师和学生，教师接收额外的特权信息，如问题和真实答案（ground-truth, GT），可以提供这种基于标记的信号。然而，直接将其应用于流媒体视频会引发两个问题。（1）学生无法进行端到端的优化，因为记忆在问题到达之前已经写入，而教师却以问题和GT特权对其进行评分，从而使他们的偏好不一致。（2）有效实体记忆崩溃，问题和GT特权使教师只偏向于与问题相关的实体，而对记忆进行标记均值平均会使其信号对记忆覆盖的实体数量不变，这两者都与流媒体对多样性的需求相悖。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了基于事件的自蒸馏（Event-Grounded Self-Distillation, EGSD），它将流媒体记忆表征为对可验证事件（关键视觉实体、动作和细节）的增量更新，并在此基础上针对这两个问题进行优化。针对问题（1），我们将OPSD信号调整为与结果奖励相结合的乘法权重；针对问题（2），我们使用事件作为特权信息重新加权教师，以抵消其问题相关性偏见，并增加实体覆盖奖励，以提供标记均值教师所缺乏的覆盖偏好。在主流在线和离线基准上的大量实验表明，EGSD实现了强劲的性能，在StreamingBench上达到79.8%，在OVO-Bench实时轨道上达到73.4%，同时记忆分析显示有效实体召回率提高了17.4%，仅增加了6.8%的记忆长度。

MeteoVerse: Unified Weather-Controllable Video World Model
气象宇宙：统一的天气可控视频世界模型
Abstract
Video world models aim to predict future content from an observed scene while following prescribed camera motion. Real-world scene evolution is determined not only by changes in viewpoint and object dynamics, but also by environmental conditions such as weather, which can substantially alter scene appearance and visibility. Modeling such realistic weather evolution is challenging because the required weather modification depends jointly on the observed and desired weather states. Depending on their relation, the model may need to preserve, introduce, or remove a weather effect. Existing video world models typically leave this weather transition implicit, forcing the generation backbone to infer weather evolution together with scene dynamics and camera motion, which leads to imprecise weather control. To address this limitation, we propose MeteoVerse, a unified weather-controllable video world model that generates future videos from a single sunny or adverse-weather image, conditioned on a weather-free scene description, a target-weather instruction, and a camera trajectory. Rather than conditioning only on the desired weather, MeteoVerse explicitly estimates the observed and target weather states and represents the required weather transition. A transition-aware mixture of weather experts then translates this transition into category-specific residual weather features, unifying weather preservation, introduction, and removal while enabling fine-grained control over introduced weather intensity. We further construct the MeteoVerse dataset with over 50K real-world weather video clips, generated sunny counterparts, disentangled scene and weather descriptions, weather-intensity annotations, and camera trajectories. Extensive experiments demonstrate substantially improved weather controllability while retaining competitive scene consistency and camera-control performance.

CurvSpec: Adaptive Multi-Curvature Learning for Partial Relevant Video Retrieval
CurvSpec：用于部分相关视频检索的自适应多曲率学习
Abstract
Partially Relevant Video Retrieval (PRVR) seeks to retrieve untrim-med videos containing a moment that matches a text query, without temporal annotations. The relevant moment may last only seconds within a video spanning several minutes, creating an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio that makes PRVR more challenging than standard full-video retrieval. This task presents two intertwined challenges: (1) signal dilution, where coarse global representations blur the brief relevant signal into the dominant irrelevant surroundings;(2) curvature rigidity, where embedding all videos in the same fixed-geometry space distorts representations for videos that range from flat atomic events to deep compositional hierarchies. Existing PRVR methods have improved moment selection and cross-modal matching, but they still typically encode all videos in a single fixed-curvature retrieval space, limiting their ability to model diverse video structures. To address both challenges, we propose CurvSpec, a framework that learns content-adaptive curvature for video retrieval representations rather than imposing a fixed geometric prior. CurvSpec processes features through parallel Euclidean and hyperbolic attention layers, with independently learned curvatures assigned to the hyperbolic layers, and a content-aware fusion mechanism routes each input to its most suitable geometric regime. To further suppress signal dilution, CurvSpec represents each video with semantic centroids whose number is determined by the video's content complexity, projects them onto the learned manifold, and matches each query against its nearest centroid by geodesic distance. Experiments on ActivityNet Captions, TVR, and Charades-STA demonstrate state-of-the-art retrieval performance.

部分相关视频检索（PRVR）旨在检索包含与文本查询匹配的瞬间的未剪辑视频，而无需时间注释。相关瞬间可能仅在几分钟的视频中持续几秒钟，导致极低的信噪比，使得PRVR比标准的全视频检索更具挑战性。该任务面临两个相互交织的挑战：（1）信号稀释，粗略的全局表示将短暂的相关信号模糊成主导的无关背景；（2）曲率刚性，将所有视频嵌入同一固定几何空间会扭曲从平坦原子事件到深层组合层次的视频表示。现有的PRVR方法在瞬间选择和跨模态匹配方面有所改进，但它们通常仍在单一固定曲率的检索空间中编码所有视频，限制了其建模多样化视频结构的能力。为了解决这两个挑战，我们提出了CurvSpec，一个学习内容自适应曲率的视频检索表示框架，而不是强加固定的几何先验。CurvSpec通过并行的欧几里得和双曲注意力层处理特征，独立学习的曲率分配给双曲层，并且一个内容感知的融合机制将每个输入路由到其最合适的几何域。为了进一步抑制信号稀释，CurvSpec用语义质心表示每个视频，其数量由视频的内容复杂性决定，将其投影到学习的流形上，并通过测地距离将每个查询与其最近的质心进行匹配。在ActivityNet Captions、TVR和Charades-STA上的实验表明了其最先进的检索性能。

RED: Reconstruction Evolution Dynamics for Generalizable AI-Generated Image Detection
RED：用于可泛化的AI生成图像检测的重建演化动态
Abstract
The rapid evolution of image generators calls for forensic cues that generalize beyond known generation mechanisms. Existing detectors often rely on static image representations or endpoint reconstruction discrepancies, leaving the evolution of intermediate reconstruction stages underexplored. We observe that the relative token predictability of real and generated images can reverse across reconstruction scales, suggesting that intermediate stages may expose forensic evidence overlooked by endpoint comparisons. Motivated by this observation, we propose RED (Reconstruction Evolution Dynamics), a framework that captures transferable forensic cues from coarse-to-fine reconstruction evolution. To our knowledge, RED is the first framework to use scale-wise token predictability to guide forensic evidence aggregation across intermediate reconstruction states. It represents the reconstruction trajectory produced by a frozen multiscale VQ-VAE in the shared feature space of a frozen CLIP encoder. To connect the observed predictability variations with visual evidence, RED learns image-adaptive stage weights from scale-wise token negative log-likelihoods provided by a frozen VAR model. A cross-stage evidence aggregation module then jointly models the original-image representation and the weighted reconstruction features, capturing complementary forensic cues through interactions along the reconstruction trajectory. Experiments on six diverse benchmarks demonstrate that RED achieves the highest average accuracy of 92.5\% and average precision of 97.5\% among the evaluated methods. Further evaluations show strong robustness to common image degradations, supporting the value of reconstruction evolution for generalizable AI-generated image detection. The code will be made publicly available upon acceptance of this paper.

Learning via Self-Consistency for Diffusion-based Video Reasoning
基于自一致性的学习用于扩散模型的视频推理
Abstract
Video generation models have demonstrated emerging zero-shot capabilities for visual reasoning, perception, and other vision tasks. However, diffusion-based video generation is inherently stochastic, while many downstream vision tasks are deterministic. Motivated by the effectiveness of self-consistency in chain-of-thought reasoning for large language models, we investigate whether self-consistency can similarly improve diffusion-based video reasoning. We first introduce a training-free test-time scaling method that samples multiple video generations and aggregates their predictions through self-consistency. Specifically, we aggregate extracted paths, locations, or masks from multiple rollouts into a consensus prediction. To reduce the inference overhead of multi-rollout generation, we read out predictions early in the denoising trajectory, which preserves consensus quality while reducing denoising steps by more than half. We further propose Rejection Fine-Tuning (RFT) to distill consensus predictions into the video generation model. The resulting model internalizes the benefit of multi-sample consensus and requires only a single generation at inference time, while substantially outperforming the original model. Experiments on three tasks, including maze solving, visual search, and referring segmentation, show that both our self-consistency inference and consensus distillation dramatically improve video-based perception and reasoning, without requiring ground-truth videos or task-specific verification. For visual search, self-consistency raises task accuracy from 48.4% for a single generation to 99.0%. The distilled model retains much of the consensus benefit with a single rollout. For 4-by-4 maze solving, consensus-based training improves the single-generation strict success rate from 72.0% to 84.0% with the same inference latency.

视频生成模型在视觉推理、感知和其他视觉任务中展现出了新兴的零样本能力。然而，基于扩散的视频生成本质上是随机的，而许多下游视觉任务是确定性的。受到自一致性在大型语言模型的思维链推理中的有效性启发，我们探讨自一致性是否同样能够改善基于扩散的视频推理。我们首先介绍了一种无训练的测试时缩放方法，该方法通过自一致性对多个视频生成进行采样并聚合其预测。具体而言，我们将从多个回滚中提取的路径、位置或掩码聚合为共识预测。为了减少多回滚生成的推理开销，我们在去噪轨迹的早期读取预测，这样可以在减少去噪步骤超过一半的同时保持共识质量。我们进一步提出了拒绝微调（Rejection Fine-Tuning, RFT）来将共识预测提炼到视频生成模型中。最终模型内化了多样本共识的好处，并且在推理时仅需一次生成，同时显著超越了原始模型。在三个任务上的实验，包括迷宫求解、视觉搜索和指代分割，表明我们的自一致性推理和共识蒸馏显著改善了基于视频的感知和推理，而无需真实视频或特定任务的验证。在视觉搜索中，自一致性将任务准确率从单次生成的48.4%提高到99.0%。蒸馏模型在单次回滚中保留了大部分共识收益。对于4x4迷宫求解，基于共识的训练将单次生成的严格成功率从72.0%提高到84.0%，且推理延迟保持不变。

Motion Concept Unlearning in Video Diffusion Models
视频扩散模型中的运动概念遗忘
Abstract
Text-to-video (T2V) diffusion models can generate realistic depictions of actions such as kicking, stabbing, and shooting, raising safety concerns that motivate targeted concept erasure. Although concept erasure has been extensively studied for static concepts in text-to-image and T2V models, erasing motion concepts remains largely unexplored. We present a systematic study of motion concept erasure in video Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). Through causal interventions, we show that text-conditioning attention carries concept-specific motion information and supports selective intervention, whereas perturbing temporal positional encoding suppresses both target and non-target dynamics. We further find that directly adapting ESD, a representative weight-level image erasure method, to a video DiT yields modest and uneven motion suppression: reducing its erasure training loss does not by itself remove the concept signal from the difference between the conditional and unconditional predictions, which classifier-free guidance (CFG) then scales at every denoising step. From these findings, we derive three requirements for motion concept erasure: concept specificity, spatial selectivity, and temporal naturalness. Each determines one component of MUTE (Motion concept Unlearning in Text-to-video gEneration): at each denoising step, MUTE extracts a concept direction through token neutralization, derives a spatial gate from the direction's intrinsic structure, and subtracts the resulting correction from the velocity output before CFG is applied. MUTE is training-free and requires no weight modification.

You Cannot Recover What Was Never Measured: Quantifying the Information Ceiling of Ultra-Low-Field MRI Super-Resolution
无法恢复未曾测量的内容：量化超低场 MRI 超分辨率的信息上限
Abstract
Generative super-resolution models can turn portable 64 mT MRI into images that look like 3T scans, and the field evaluates them with PSNR, SSIM, and pixelwise uncertainty, most often on pairs built by synthetically degrading high-field images. Prior work acknowledges that these models hallucinate and that the problem is ill posed, but to our knowledge no study measures how much information about the individual subject the real low-field scan actually contains. We measure it. Using paired 64 mT and 3T scans of the same subjects from three public datasets, and a measurement protocol validated on tests whose correct answer is known in advance, we find that, judged over the whole brain, real 64 mT scans carry structure specific to the individual only down to approximately 3 to 4 mm half-pitch in plane, and coarser still through plane. Standard synthetic degradations preserve subject information roughly 1 mm beyond this ceiling, so models trained and benchmarked on synthetic pairs are evaluated on information that real scanners never record. We then test trained diffusion models and a publicly released external model on real paired acquisitions; 24 trained runs of five architectures (GAN, diffusion, and transformer families) give the coverage of the audit. On every subject where faithfulness can be measured, fine output detail is no more correlated with the subject's own 3T scan than with a stranger's, while sample-variance uncertainty does not distinguish fabricated structure from reconstruction difficulty. Because PSNR and SSIM score resemblance to a reference rather than whether detail belongs to the subject, a benchmark scored by them cannot tell recovery from fabrication. Code for the measurement protocol will be released so that recoverability claims can be tested for newer models.

On-Policy Visual Evidence Distillation
基于策略的视觉证据蒸馏
Abstract
Visual agents solve problems by interleaving reasoning with image operations, and on-policy distillation (OPD) provides guidance from a strong teacher on student-generated interaction trajectories. However, image operations change the evidence available for subsequent reasoning, so local errors in evidence acquisition (Acquire), reading (Read), or answer grounding (Ground) can propagate through the trajectory and lead to incorrect answers. Existing multimodal OPD methods primarily construct or contrast auxiliary views of the original image to strengthen supervision, without explicitly modeling the connections between student actions, resulting observations, and subsequent reasoning. This limits their ability to provide corrections tailored to different failure stages. We introduce Reflection on Visual Evidence (ReVuE), an on-policy distillation method for visual agents. ReVuE compares multiple student-generated trajectories for the same query, summarizes the observed visual evidence, and diagnoses the first failure across the Acquire, Read, and Ground stages. The resulting reflections provide training-time context for the teacher. We group and reweight token-level distillation losses according to how strongly these reflections affect the teacher's predictions. This design translates trajectory-level evidence diagnosis into targeted token-level supervision, guiding students to improve their visual evidence acquisition and reasoning. Across 11 benchmarks spanning the Qwen2.5-VL and InternVL3.5 model families, ReVuE outperforms all evaluated OPD baselines in weighted-average scores for perception, mathematical reasoning, and general tasks. ReVuE also reduces redundancy in reasoning and tool calls while improving tool-call accuracy and task accuracy. Code is available at https://github.com/sylvain-wei/ReVuE

视觉智能体通过将推理与图像操作交替进行来解决问题，而基于策略的蒸馏（On-Policy Distillation, OPD）为学生生成的交互轨迹提供了来自强大教师的指导。然而，图像操作改变了后续推理所依据的证据，因此在证据获取（Acquire）、阅读（Read）或答案基础（Ground）中的局部错误可能会在轨迹中传播并导致错误答案。现有的多模态 OPD 方法主要通过构建或对比原始图像的辅助视图来增强监督，而没有明确建模学生行为、结果观察和后续推理之间的联系。这限制了它们提供针对不同失败阶段的定制纠正的能力。我们提出了视觉证据反思（Reflection on Visual Evidence, ReVuE），这是一种针对视觉智能体的基于策略的蒸馏方法。ReVuE 比较多个学生生成的相同查询的轨迹，总结观察到的视觉证据，并诊断在 Acquire、Read 和 Ground 阶段的首次失败。由此产生的反思为教师提供了训练时的上下文。我们根据这些反思对教师预测的影响程度对标记级蒸馏损失进行分组和重新加权。该设计将轨迹级证据诊断转化为针对性的标记级监督，引导学生改善其视觉证据获取和推理。在涵盖 Qwen2.5-VL 和 InternVL3.5 模型系列的 11 个基准测试中，ReVuE 在感知、数学推理和一般任务的加权平均分数上超越了所有评估的 OPD 基线。ReVuE 还减少了推理和工具调用中的冗余，同时提高了工具调用的准确性和任务的准确性。代码可在 https://github.com/sylvain-wei/ReVuE 获取。

Does the VGGT Family Need All Its Layers?
VGGT家族是否需要其所有层？
Abstract
Which layers of a feed-forward geometry model are needed to preserve both camera poses and dense 3D structure? We study layer redundancy in VGGT, $\pi^3$, and VGGT-$\Omega$: 3,018 pruned configurations, scored on seven camera-pose and dense-geometry metrics across four indoor and outdoor datasets. Four findings follow: (i) Removable layers cluster in two redundancy regions: a dominant early region and a narrower late one, while deletions spanning the intervening layers are consistently more disruptive. This recurring pattern holds across models, datasets, and metrics, and contrasts with the middle-to-late redundancy commonly reported in the literature. (ii) Within these regions, we observe that the joint degradation from deleting two intervals is approximately the sum of their individual degradations, reducing the number of model evaluations for pruning search from $O(L^4)$ to $O(L^2)$, where $L$ is the aggregator depth. (iii) We find that CKA provides a cheaper representation-based proxy for interval degradation, offering a practical trade-off between pruning quality and calibration cost. (iv) Closed-form linear calibration recovers accuracy after pruning without end-to-end retraining. A least-squares analysis shows that using a shared map for special and patch tokens generally incurs excess reconstruction loss, motivating token-aware recovery. Recovery maps fitted on just 100 calibration scenes generalize to held-out scenes and unseen datasets. The resulting models reduce aggregator parameters by up to 44% while maintaining accuracy comparable to their intact counterparts.

GlassFormer: Learning Real-time Glass Segmentation using Radar-Depth Fusion
GlassFormer：基于雷达-深度融合的实时玻璃分割学习
Abstract
Transparent surfaces are ubiquitous in built environments, yet they remain a persistent failure case for robotic perception. RGB cameras perceive the background behind glass rather than the surface itself, while depth sensors such as LiDAR, time-of-flight, and RGB-D often return invalid or background measurements in transparent regions. As a result, systems that rely solely on optical sensing may misinterpret glass walls, doors, or mirrors as free space, compromising safe and reliable navigation. Existing glass segmentation approaches address this by learning visual cues such as reflections, boundaries, and semantic context from RGB images. While effective under favourable lighting and viewing conditions, these cues degrade in low-light environments, under glare, or when glass surfaces are featureless or partially occluded. In this work, we propose a multimodal framework that fuses millimetre-wave radar with RGB-D sensing for real-time transparent surface segmentation. Radar reflects strongly off glass surfaces, providing a geometric cue that remains reliable precisely where vision and depth fail. We exploit this cross-modal inconsistency to generate a radar-guided spatial prior, which is integrated into a lightweight transformer-based segmentation network, GlassFormer, via cross-modal attention. We report results on a mixed-condition test split covering all scene types and a dedicated low-light split designed to stress vision-only methods. GlassFormer achieves 0.88 mIoU on the mixed split, and 0.59 mIoU on the low light split, demonstrating substantial robustness gains over vision-only baselines while maintaining real-time performance on resource-constrained platforms.

透明表面在建筑环境中无处不在，但它们仍然是机器人感知的一个持续失败案例。RGB相机感知的是玻璃后面的背景而非表面本身，而激光雷达（LiDAR）、飞行时间（time-of-flight）和RGB-D等深度传感器在透明区域往往返回无效或背景测量。因此，依赖于光学传感的系统可能会将玻璃墙、门或镜子误解为自由空间，从而影响安全和可靠的导航。现有的玻璃分割方法通过从RGB图像中学习反射、边界和语义上下文等视觉线索来解决这一问题。虽然在有利的光照和视角条件下有效，但在低光环境、眩光或玻璃表面特征缺失或部分遮挡时，这些线索会退化。在本研究中，我们提出了一种多模态框架，将毫米波雷达与RGB-D传感融合，实现实时透明表面分割。雷达在玻璃表面上反射强烈，提供了一种几何线索，这在视觉和深度失效的地方仍然可靠。我们利用这种跨模态不一致性生成雷达引导的空间先验，并通过跨模态注意力将其集成到轻量级的基于变换器的分割网络GlassFormer中。我们在覆盖所有场景类型的混合条件测试集和一个专门设计用于考验仅依赖视觉方法的低光测试集中报告结果。GlassFormer在混合测试集上达到了0.88的mIoU，在低光测试集上达到了0.59的mIoU，显示出相较于仅依赖视觉的基线方法具有显著的鲁棒性提升，同时在资源受限的平台上保持实时性能。

RoXDrive: Closed-Loop Reinforcement Learning for End-to-End Autonomous Driving via Action-Faithful Rollouts
RoXDrive：通过动作忠实回放实现端到端自主驾驶的闭环强化学习
Abstract
End-to-end autonomous driving policies are commonly trained via imitation learning on logged demonstrations without observing the consequences of their own actions, leading to causal confusion in closed-loop real-world deployment. To address this issue, reinforcement learning (RL) post-training offers a promising alternative by leveraging world models as interactive training environments to enable future scene generation for policy improvement. Nevertheless, existing approaches either rely on reconstruction-based simulators, offering limited counterfactual interaction, or adopt synthetic simulators to enable long-horizon closed-loop interaction at the cost of a substantial sim-to-real gap. Recently, video world models have exhibited the ability to generate realistic multi-step future rollouts but may not faithfully reflect action conditions, resulting in action-vision mismatch. In this paper, we introduce RoXDrive, a plug-and-play closed-loop RL framework that enables reliable policy optimization by identifying action-faithful world-model rollouts, consisting of two stages: 1) Model pre-training: In addition to imitation-based policy pre-training, we devise an Action-Vision Faithfulness Evaluator for inverse dynamics estimation with our geometry-aware auxiliary trajectory supervision, enabling long-horizon assessment of whether visual dynamics faithfully reflect the conditioning ego actions. 2) Action-faithful RL post-training: Agents iteratively interact with world models to form long-horizon scene rollouts, retaining only action-faithful ones for dense safety-aware scoring and scene-level closed-loop RL post-training. Extensive experiments on nuScenes and an in-house dataset with over 130K training scenarios demonstrate consistent gains across planners, reducing safety violations by 27.6% with DiffusionDrive on nuScenes and 33.7% with Qwen3-VL on the internal data.

Socialality Anchors: Towards Group-bounded Trajectory Prediction
社会性锚点：面向群体界限的轨迹预测
Abstract
Trajectory prediction is a key component for understanding human behavior patterns in dynamic scenes. Researchers have devoted substantial efforts to modeling social interactions, especially group-wise interactions, since group membership often reflects shared intention, coordinated motion, and stable mutual adaptation, thus providing a persistent and semantically meaningful social prior for forecasting. However, existing group modeling methods may rely on a fixed threshold and infer groups mainly from agents' relative positions within the observation window, overlooking the fact that grouping rules should be agent-specific, temporally coherent, and context-adaptive across diverse personalities, culturalities, and evolving interaction contexts. Inspired by human social perception that alternates between interpersonal distance in boundary-sensitive situations and relative speed consistency in dynamic interactions, we propose Socialality, a human-inspired trajectory prediction framework with interpretable Socialality anchors and an extended grouping window for stable, context-aware grouping inference. Concretely, Socialality introduces a duo-scalar-controlled grouping kernel Socialality that jointly leverages historical observations and short-term future trajectory previews to learn agent-specific grouping rules, and employs a group-wise perception mechanism to model in-group and out-of-group interactions in an intuitive and explainable manner. Furthermore, we conduct extensive experiments on standard benchmarks to demonstrate the performance gains of Socialality, and provide qualitative analyses and statistical studies of anchor distributions to verify the interpretability and stability of the proposed Socialality anchors.

S2T-Unet: A Structure-to-Style Framework for Inter-Modality MRI Translation
S2T-Unet：一种用于跨模态MRI翻译的结构到风格框架
Abstract
Inter-modality MRI translation aims to synthesize missing MRI modalities from available acquisitions, reducing the need for additional scanning while preserving clinically relevant anatomical information. However, existing image translation methods often learn intensity mappings without explicitly separating modality-invariant structural information from modality-specific appearance, which may lead to structural information loss or unrealistic image details. In this work, we propose S2T-Unet, a structure-to-style framework that explicitly models these two aspects. Specifically, vector quantization is introduced at the lower-level bottleneck to encode modality-invariant structural information using a learned discrete codebook. At higher levels, a modality transformation module uses decoder features to condition and transform encoder representations toward the target modality, thereby recovering modality-specific intensity and contrast information. Experiments on the IXI multi-contrast MRI dataset across four translation tasks demonstrate that S2T-Unet is comparable or outperform with state-of-art method.

S4VY: Segment Anything in Feed-Forward 4D Visual Geometry
S4VY：在前馈4D视觉几何中进行任意分割
Abstract
Accurate instance segmentation in dynamic scenes is important for downstream applications such as robotics and autonomous driving. Existing Segment Anything models operate primarily on 2D image or video masks and preserve identity through sequential memory, while promptable 4D instance segmentation built upon feed-forward visual geometry remains underexplored. We introduce S4VY, a Segment Anything model built on feed-forward 4D visual geometry. From a set of RGB observations, S4VY transforms shared visual-geometric features into an exhaustive set of class-agnostic 4D instance masks through a space-time query decoder, with each persistent object query binding one entity across all observations. This representation supports prompt-independent segmentation as well as point- and box- conditioned selection, without requiring a seed mask or temporal ordering. We further develop an agentic harness for natural-language grounding in the large observation space of a 4D scene. Active tree search identifies relevant frames without scanning every fixed window; a dual-stream grounder combines fine-grained VLM visual priors with geometry-consistent instance features through complementary bounding-box prediction and object-query matching; and an independent critic selects the final 4D instance mask from their predictions. Extensive experiments demonstrate state-of-the-art 4D instance segmentation and strong language-guided grounding performance under a unified evaluation spanning static and dynamic scenes.

Less Supervision, Better Generalization: Weakly Supervised Fake Region Localization in Diffusion-Edited Images
更少的监督，更好的泛化：弱监督下的扩散编辑图像中的虚假区域定位
Abstract
Localizing AI-edited regions is essential for interpretable forensic analysis, but remains challenging due to subtle and spatially distributed artifacts that are misaligned with semantic or object boundaries. Existing approaches rely on pixel-level supervision from controlled editing pipelines, which is difficult to scale and can introduce misleading signals: artifacts frequently extend beyond annotated regions, while out-of-mask pixels are treated as authentic. This limits models' ability to capture transferable evidence and generalize across generators and datasets. To address these issues, we propose ReGFLoW, a Reconstruction-Guided Fake Localization framework under Weak supervision, which is the first weakly supervised approach for diffusion-edited fake region localization. ReGFLoW requires only real/fake labels at the image-level and uses diffusion reconstruction errors as dense spatial guidance to inject them into both feature and score spaces. Furthermore, by artifact-centric multiple instance learning, ReGFLoW utilizes localized diffusion evidence without relying on semantic-affinity or boundary-based pseudo-mask priors. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ReGFLoW achieves stronger out-of-domain generalization than fully supervised learning baselines.

ProGuT: Label-Efficient Panoptic Segmentation for Forest Scenes
ProGuT：森林场景的标签高效全景分割
Abstract
Panoptic segmentation in forest environments is bottlenecked not by semantic quality but by instance separation; existing unsupervised panoptic approaches produce usable stuff maps but near-zero thing quality. Depth or flow-based instance discovery methods needs sensors that are not always available. We present ProGuT (Prototype Guided Training), which produces panoptic pseudo-labels without per-image training masks, needing only unlabeled images and one-time cluster-to-class mapping. ProGuT clusters CLIP patch features, then recovers trunk instances through multiscale geometric prior that falsifies non-trunk structures via structure-tensor. This is cheap compared to depth, flow or class-supervision methods to create pseudo labels. These are then used for downstream tasks which we evaluate against other unsupervised baselines. ProGuT achieves a Panoptic Quality (PQ) of 65.2 on Our-forest dataset (2.6x improvement over the initial pseudo-label quality) and reaches 65.9 mIoU on Freiburg Forest, outperforming unsupervised baselines like PiCIE (45.3 IoU) and STEGO(57.6IoU). Additionally, ProGuT outperforms existing unsupervised methods for class-agnostic trunk instance benchmark.

DiffReID: Discriminative Diffusion Model for Object Re-Identification
DiffReID：用于对象重识别的区分性扩散模型
Abstract
As a fundamental image processing task, object Re-Identification (ReID) aims to retrieve objects across non-overlapping cameras. Recently, with the development of deep learning, significant advancements have been made in object ReID. However, most existing methods suffer from generalization due to the limited size and diversity of ReID datasets. Meanwhile, current models tend to focus on extracting semantic patterns rather than learning identity-aware feature distributions. To address these issues, we propose a novel feature learning framework named \textbf{DiffReID} for object ReID. It leverages a discriminative diffusion model to gradually learn identity-aware distributions and generate identity-invariant features. More specifically, with the Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) model, we first obtain identity-aware text features by prompt tuning. Then, we propose a Vision-guided Noise Generator (VNG) to initialize probabilistic noises and gradually corrupt identity-aware text features. Afterwards, we take visual features as conditions and propose a Light Weight Denoiser (LWD) to denoise the corrupted text features step-by-step for identity-aware distribution learning. To obtain discriminative features, we further generate identity-invariant guided features from randomly sampling visual-guided noises. Finally, we propose a Mutual Enhancement Constraint (MEC) to facilitate mutual learning between visual features and guided features to enhance the representation robustness and discrimination. Extensive experiments on five object ReID benchmarks demonstrate that our method shows better results than most state-of-the-art methods.

We introduce SafeVantage, a vantage-aware semantic memory and active acquisition framework that retains each claim's supporting views, camera poses, and estimated target location, keeping positive support distinct from search coverage. A learned candidate-observability model uses claim-grounded geometry to predict target visibility at reachable viewpoints. These predictions guide view selection through expected reduction in terminal decision loss, accounting for travel cost and geometrically distinct corroboration. A calibrated head then combines support, spatial consistency, and coverage to produce Yes, No, or Abstain decisions. We evaluate SafeVantage on a category-presence benchmark spanning 232 unseen ProcTHOR houses and 7,424 paired episodes per method and action budget. Compared with validation-selected equal-budget baselines, SafeVantage achieves macro-F1 gains of 24.7% and 12.0% at eight and twelve actions, respectively, with lower risk and higher answer rates at both budgets and 31.7% less travel at eight actions. Equal-input HM3D experiments show lower selective risk under fixed observations, while controlled ScanNet interventions show that restoring supporting views improves downstream VLM answers. Ablations further support the contribution of candidate observability to decision quality and acquisition efficiency. Results demonstrate the value of claim-level viewpoint evidence for connecting semantic memory, active acquisition, and reliable decision-making. Code is available at https://safevantage.github.io

在部分可观察性下，可靠的具身决策需要信息丰富的观察和足够的支持证据。然而，仅凭语义分数并不能揭示哪些视角支持某一主张，或者应在哪些地方获取额外证据。我们引入了SafeVantage，这是一种面向视角的语义记忆和主动获取框架，能够保留每个主张的支持视角、相机姿态和估计的目标位置，将正向支持与搜索覆盖区分开来。一个学习的候选可观察性模型利用主张基础几何来预测可达视点的目标可见性。这些预测通过预期减少终端决策损失来指导视角选择，同时考虑旅行成本和几何上不同的证实。经过校准的决策头结合支持、空间一致性和覆盖，生成“是”、“否”或“弃权”的决策。我们在跨越232个未见ProcTHOR房屋和每种方法及行动预算下7,424个配对情节的类别存在基准上评估了SafeVantage。与验证选择的相等预算基线相比，SafeVantage在八个和十二个动作下分别实现了24.7%和12.0%的宏观F1提升，同时在两个预算下风险更低，回答率更高，并且在八个动作下减少了31.7%的旅行。相等输入的HM3D实验显示在固定观察下选择性风险更低，而控制的ScanNet干预显示恢复支持视角改善下游VLM回答。消融实验进一步支持候选可观察性对决策质量和获取效率的贡献。结果展示了主张级视角证据在连接语义记忆、主动获取和可靠决策中的价值。代码可在 https://safevantage.github.io 获取。

Representation Dynamics Reveal Semantic Saliency and Similarity for Visual Token Pruning in MLLMs
表征动态揭示视觉标记剪枝中的语义显著性和相似性
Abstract
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) incur high inference latency from long visual token sequences. Existing pruning methods commonly use attention maps or output features to estimate token importance or redundancy. Several recent approaches also exploit representation changes, but when and how these changes reflect foreground saliency and semantic consistency remain insufficiently understood. We analyze visual token representation dynamics across encoder depth and uncover two findings. First, the relationship between token update magnitudes and foreground saliency is layer-dependent: large token updates concentrate on foreground regions in two depth intervals, separated by several sink-dominated layers at intermediate depths. Second, similarities between token update directions better distinguish same-class from different-class tokens than those between encoder output features. Building on these findings, we propose MSDG-Prune, a training-free method that uses update magnitudes and directions to preserve salient and diverse visual information. Specifically, we group tokens by update-direction similarity and use query-weighted saliency derived from update magnitudes across a chosen depth window for group-wise token pruning. Extensive experiments across four MLLMs demonstrate the effectiveness and generalizability of MSDG-Prune. On LLaVA-NeXT, it retains 91.9% of uncompressed performance on average with only 5.6% of visual tokens, while achieving a 7.8x prefilling speedup.

多模态大型语言模型（MLLMs）由于长视觉标记序列而导致高推理延迟。现有的剪枝方法通常使用注意力图或输出特征来估计标记的重要性或冗余性。一些近期的方法也利用表征变化，但这些变化何时以及如何反映前景显著性和语义一致性仍然理解不足。我们分析了编码器深度下的视觉标记表征动态，并揭示了两个发现。首先，标记更新幅度与前景显著性之间的关系依赖于层级：在两个深度区间内，大幅度的标记更新集中在前景区域，这两个区间之间由几个以汇聚为主的中间层隔开。其次，标记更新方向之间的相似性比编码器输出特征之间的相似性更能区分同类标记与异类标记。基于这些发现，我们提出了MSDG-Prune，这是一种无训练的方法，利用更新幅度和方向来保留显著和多样的视觉信息。具体而言，我们通过更新方向相似性对标记进行分组，并使用从所选深度窗口的更新幅度派生的查询加权显著性进行组内标记剪枝。在四个MLLMs上的广泛实验表明了MSDG-Prune的有效性和普适性。在LLaVA-NeXT上，它在仅使用5.6%的视觉标记的情况下，平均保留了91.9%的未压缩性能，同时实现了7.8倍的预填充加速。代码可在https://github.com/liweixuan-hitsz/MSDG-Prune获取。

Seg3DParts: Segmentation-Grounded Controllable Part-Level 3D Generation
Seg3DParts：基于分割的可控部件级三维生成
Abstract
Part-level 3D assets are essential for editing, reassembly, and interaction, yet recovering such structure from a single image remains challenging due to occlusion, ambiguous boundaries, and the need for coherent multi-part reasoning. Existing approaches struggle to achieve both controllable part-level generation and coherent multi-part structure, as part identity and spatial allocation are typically inferred implicitly. We present Seg3DParts, a segmentation-grounded framework for controllable part-level 3D generation from a single image. By treating segmentation as an explicit grounding signal, our method defines part identity during generation, enabling each component to be anchored to a corresponding image region. To ensure coherent assemblies, we introduce structured cross-part interaction that allows components to exchange global context throughout the generative process. As a result, Seg3DParts directly generates well-aligned part meshes in a shared canonical space without post-hoc alignment, supporting flexible and controllable decomposition. We further introduce PartObjectNet, a large-scale dataset with over 200K objects and 1M annotated parts. Experiments demonstrate that Seg3DParts achieves superior geometry quality, cross-part coherence, and part-level controllability over existing methods.

SFE-VGGT: Source-Free VGGT Distillation for Event-Based Monocular Depth Estimation
SFE-VGGT：无源 VGGT 蒸馏用于基于事件的单目深度估计
Abstract
Recent event-based depth estimation methods successfully transfer geometric priors from vision foundation models via cross-modal distillation. However, their reliance on synchronized RGB-event pairs or depth annotations during training severely restricts practical deployment. To overcome this bottleneck, we propose SFE-VGGT, a novel source-free framework that distills the geometric priors of VGGT to the event domain without any paired RGB observations. Our core idea is to reconstruct surrogate frames directly from the target event stream to act as a frozen geometric teacher, entirely eliminating the need for genuine source RGB data. Crucially, as these surrogate frames inherently yield imperfect and spatially varying supervision, directly distilling from them propagates artifacts. To resolve this, we introduce a novel reliability-aware distillation strategy. This includes Density-Aware Feature Distillation to emphasize informative event regions, and Confidence-Weighted Depth Distillation to dynamically regulate supervision based on relative teacher-student prediction confidence. Meanwhile, we propose a Cross-Frame Relational Consistency loss that enforces temporal geometric stability using reliable inter-frame correspondences, bypassing the need for temporally consistent teacher's depth. Extensive experiments demonstrate that, despite source-free, our SFE-VGGT closely matches the accuracy of RGB-dependent baselines under standard conditions and significantly surpasses them in challenging nighttime scenarios. Across MVSEC nighttime sequences, SFE-VGGT reduces the average 10 m depth error by 15.3% compared with EventVGGT. Moreover, our method exhibits robust zero-shot generalization across real-world datasets, proving that highly effective geometric priors can be transferred to event cameras using strictly source-free supervision.

近期基于事件的深度估计方法通过跨模态蒸馏成功地将几何先验从视觉基础模型转移。然而，它们在训练过程中对同步的 RGB-事件对或深度注释的依赖严重限制了实际应用。为了解决这一瓶颈，我们提出了 SFE-VGGT，这是一种新颖的无源框架，能够在没有任何配对 RGB 观测的情况下将 VGGT 的几何先验蒸馏到事件域。我们的核心思想是直接从目标事件流重建替代帧，以作为一个静态几何教师，完全消除对真实源 RGB 数据的需求。至关重要的是，由于这些替代帧本质上产生不完美且空间变化的监督，直接从它们进行蒸馏会传播伪影。为了解决这个问题，我们引入了一种新颖的可靠性感知蒸馏策略。这包括密度感知特征蒸馏，以强调信息丰富的事件区域，以及置信加权深度蒸馏，以根据相对教师-学生预测置信度动态调整监督。同时，我们提出了一种跨帧关系一致性损失，通过可靠的帧间对应关系强制执行时间几何稳定性，避免了对时间一致的教师深度的需求。大量实验表明，尽管是无源的，我们的 SFE-VGGT 在标准条件下的准确性与依赖 RGB 的基线模型非常接近，并在具有挑战性的夜间场景中显著超越它们。在 MVSEC 夜间序列中，与 EventVGGT 相比，SFE-VGGT 将平均 10 米深度误差降低了 15.3%。此外，我们的方法在真实世界数据集上表现出强大的零样本泛化能力，证明了高度有效的几何先验可以通过严格的无源监督转移到事件相机上。

WeLike2Party! In-Context Motion Transfer for Multi-Human Image Animation
WeLike2Party！基于上下文的多人体图像动画运动转移
Abstract
Human image animation aims to transfer motion from a driving video to subjects in a reference image. Despite remarkable progress in video generation, achieving high-fidelity animation of multiple interacting subjects remains a challenge. Many existing approaches rely on explicit motion representations such as 2D skeletons or parametric body meshes and struggle to preserve identity-motion binding under inter-person occlusion. To address this limitation, we propose WeLike2Party, a multi-human animation framework built on direct in-context video conditioning without explicit pose or mesh extraction at inference. We further introduce Reference Asymmetric RoPE Conditioning to preserve fine-grained appearance details, and Identity Binding Supervision to associate each reference identity with its intended motion trajectory. To support cross-identity training, we construct MotionTwin, a large-scale synthetic dataset comprising 14.4K cross-identity video pairs with shared subject and camera motions, totaling 84.3 hours of photorealistic video. We additionally present MotionTwin-Bench, a cross-identity benchmark specifically designed to evaluate subject-level visual fidelity and identity-motion binding. Extensive experiments on MotionTwin-Bench and real-world videos demonstrate that WeLike2Party outperforms recent state-of-the-art methods in subject-level visual fidelity, identity-motion binding, and overall perceptual quality, particularly in multi-person interactions with substantial occlusion.

DispFlow-GS: Displacement Flow Supervision with Motion Disentangling for Monocular Deformable 3D Gaussian Splatting
DispFlow-GS：基于运动解耦的位移流监督用于单目可变形3D高斯点云
Abstract
Accurate dynamic scene reconstruction is important for robotic perception, where temporally consistent representations of dynamic environments are essential. Deformable 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) models dynamic scenes through deformation fields, and recent methods incorporate motion supervision by aligning rendered Gaussian flow with optical flow. However, we find that such Gaussian-flow-based supervision provides only limited improvements in motion modeling. We identify a fundamental limitation of this supervision paradigm, namely a domain gap between rendered Gaussian flow and optical flow. To address this limitation, we propose a motion supervision framework built on Displacement Flow, which splats per-Gaussian 3D displacements onto the image plane to provide direct and stable optimization signals. We further disentangle scene motion from camera motion via intermediate-view rendering, enabling more reliable motion priors and targeted constraints on deformation and geometry. We also observe a discrepancy between motion fidelity and image-based evaluation, where improved motion awareness does not necessarily translate into better rendered image quality or higher image-based metric scores. Motivated by this mismatch, we introduce Deformation-Rendering Consistency (DRC), a motion-aware metric that measures the alignment between predicted deformation and rendering improvement. Experiments on dynamic scene benchmarks show substantial improvements in motion localization and motion--rendering consistency, reaching up to 39% and 6%, respectively, while image-based metrics change by only about 0.1%. These results confirm the observed mismatch between motion fidelity and image-based evaluation, demonstrating the significance of DRC for motion-aware evaluation.

Beyond Readability: Evaluating Task Information Recoverability
超越可读性：任务信息可恢复性的评估
Abstract
Direct visual readability and task-information recoverability are different quantities. Failure to decode a target from a fixed observation need not eliminate access to that target through another recovery route. We develop an evaluation perspective that makes the observation, query, target, and available knowledge explicit and measures the overlap between routes' success sets. For information available on the original visible surface under suitable imaging conditions, direct optical recovery reads the target from the image, optionally after restoration; entity-linked recovery uses residual visual evidence to identify the depicted entity and accesses its target through an entity--attribute relation in a specified knowledge resource. Such access can draw on stored knowledge or an external source. A controlled book-cover study instantiates external access with a fixed title--author catalog, comparing optical author recovery with visual title resolution and deterministic lookup under resolution degradation. Entity-linked successes persist across the tested vision--language models, revealing information access beyond the tested direct visual frontier despite substantial differences in absolute performance. A substantial optical-only region remains. These complementary outcomes show why visual degradation should be evaluated through the task information accessible along specified routes and knowledge resources, alongside direct readability.

Prior-Driven Enhancements in 3D Gaussian Splatting: Normals and Depths Regularization
基于先验驱动的3D高斯点云增强：法线和深度正则化
Abstract
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is a state-of-the-art technique for 3D scene rendering, offering high efficiency and excellent visual quality. However, because 3DGS relies on an initial sparse point set from Structure-from-Motion (SfM) and view-dependent properties, it can suffer from geometric inaccuracies and visual artifacts, particularly in complex scenes. To address these challenges, we propose an improved 3DGS approach that regularizes the optimization process by integrating geometric priors, including surface normals and dense depth information. Surface normal regularization improves geometric consistency by aligning Gaussian covariance with local surface structures, while dense depth priors combined with an initial points from SfM enhance per-pixel depth estimation, increasing accuracy and reducing ambiguities. These enhancements enable robust handling of diverse and complex real-world scenarios, minimizing visual distortions and improving reconstruction quality across various environments. To validate our method, we evaluate it on challenging datasets, including street-view scenes and highly reflective environments, while testing it across multiple SfM pipelines. Our results demonstrate compatibility across diverse environments and highlight the robustness of our approach. Experimental findings further show that our method enhances geometric accuracy and visual quality, establishing a reliable solution for real-time 3D scene rendering in complex environments.

Structured Visual Target Learning For Cross-Subject eeg-to-image retrieval
跨主体脑电图到图像检索的结构化视觉目标学习
Abstract
Cross-subject EEG-to-image retrieval requires a neural represen- tation trained on source subjects to remain aligned with a visual embedding space for an unseen subject. Whereas existing methods primarily focus on the EEG side, we address this problem from the perspective of the visual target. Our approach preserves the spatial information of the Perception Encoder, converts its patch grid into a compact set of learned visual views, and aggregates them for each image with a block-structured, content-dependent router. The target is learned jointly with the EEG encoder through contrastive learning with MMD regularization across source subjects. For deployment, we propose a training-free representation refinement that aligns frozen embeddings without updating either encoder. Under leave- one-subject-out evaluation on THINGS-EEG2, the structured target achieves 35.3%/65.6% Top-1/Top-5 accuracy, the best among com- pared methods. Refinement raises this to 48.1%/77.1%, an 18.5% Top-1 gain over the strongest compared method, improving all ten held-out subjects.

A Dual-Track Curation-and-Classification Framework for Resolving Ground-Truth Label Noise in Operational Sentinel-2 Wheat Area Estimation
一种双轨道的策展与分类框架，用于解决运营中 Sentinel-2 小麦面积估计的真实标签噪声
Abstract
Operational estimation of wheat-cultivated area is persistently constrained by discordance between administrative record-keeping and remotely sensed classification products. We address this administrative reference discordance for the 2022 Rabi season in Patiala district, Punjab, India, using a thirteen-timestep Sentinel-2 NDVI time series. A curated 849-sample reference dataset, developed through an iterative rule-based bootstrapping procedure, underpins both a feature sensitivity analysis and an operational classifier. Feature sensitivity independently assessed via Cohen's d and gradient-boosted information gain converges on the February-to-March grain-fill window as most discriminative. Four classifiers (1D-CNN, LSTM, hybrid CNN-LSTM, and XGBoost) were benchmarked on an identical 679/170 sample split. XGBoost achieved the highest overall accuracy (78.82%) against deep-learning baselines (64-66%), consistent with tree-based ensembles' favourable parameter-to-sample ratio in low-sample regimes. At full-population deployment across 36.25 million valid district pixels, the operational classifier attained 86.31% precision and 71.05% recall. The predicted wheat extent deviated by only +2.99% from the official tabular target, whereas the government's spatial reference mask exhibited a +25.11% positive area bias against the identical target. This asymmetry indicates that a classifier trained on an auditor-curated reference set reconciles more closely with the official tabular area than the spatial product conventionally used to validate it. We present this dual-track curation-and-classification framework as a methodological reference for crop-area reconciliation in label-noisy administrative settings.

UltraMatch: Transport Path Routing for Ultra-Fast and Memory-Efficient Image Matching
UltraMatch：超快速且内存高效的图像匹配传输路径路由
Abstract
Despite recent advances in accuracy and efficiency, coarse matching remains an indispensable yet costly stage in existing semi-dense matchers due to dense token-level matching. We present UltraMatch, an ultra-efficient and scalable semi-dense matching framework that bypasses the quadratic computation and memory cost of dense token-level matching by routing only a small fraction of candidate matching paths. At its core, a lightweight Transport Path Router operates on coarse block representations to rank candidate target blocks for each source block and retain only a small set, restricting subsequent token-level matching to the selected paths and avoiding the construction of the full token-to-token matching matrix. We further design a sparse global Dual-Softmax that performs matching only over the routed block candidates while retaining global competition across the sparse matching space. Beyond matching acceleration, UltraMatch employs deployment-oriented structural reparameterization for feature extraction and a tiny fine matching head with shared parameters, further reducing inference cost and memory consumption. UltraMatch achieves competitive accuracy among semi-dense matchers, while running 1.67$\times$ faster than SuperPoint+LightGlue with only 0.44 GiB peak inference memory. Its scalability enables inference at up to 6K resolution on a single RTX 3090, whereas existing semi-dense matchers run out of memory before reaching 2K. Our routing strategy is also transferable, delivering about 2$\times$ end-to-end speedup in EDM and ELoFTR without accuracy loss.

Salt++: Context-Aligned Post-Training for Few-Step Streaming Multimodal Generation
Salt++：面向少步流媒体多模态生成的上下文对齐后训练
Abstract
Few-step streaming audio--video generation requires both causal modeling and step distillation, yet standard training recipes face two context-related challenges. Teacher forcing pairs clean history with a noisy target, but supervises predictive contextual representations only indirectly through velocity prediction. Meanwhile, directly reusing bidirectional score models in causal Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) creates a mismatch between generation and scoring contexts. We address these challenges with Salt++, a two-stage post-training framework comprising Causal Self-Flow (CSF) and context-aligned autoregressive DMD. CSF exploits contextual information asymmetry by varying the history while keeping the noisy target fixed: a noise-mixed-history student aligns its intermediate representations with those of a clean-history exponential-moving-average teacher. This self-supervised signal encourages the student to extract semantic information and improves cross-modal alignment. Context-aligned AR DMD shares the causal mask and prefix across generator sampling, fake-score training, and real-score evaluation to match generated and reference distributions under a block-conditional KL objective. With calibrated teacher guidance, it performs clean-prefix few-step distillation and then adapts to generated histories without switching objectives or requiring separate consistency distillation. At 480p, Salt++ improves visual and motion quality by 57% and 45% over OmniForcing on JavisBench under the same 4-step causal setting. A separate scale-wise post-training stage extends Salt++ to 4-step $1664\times960$ generation, outperforming bidirectional LTX-2 on six of seven reported metrics.

少步流媒体音频-视频生成既需要因果建模，又需要步骤蒸馏，但标准训练方法面临两个与上下文相关的挑战。教师强制配对干净的历史与嘈杂的目标，但仅通过速度预测间接监督预测上下文表示。同时，在因果分布匹配蒸馏（DMD）中直接重用双向评分模型会导致生成和评分上下文之间的不匹配。我们通过Salt++解决这些挑战，这是一种包含因果自流（Causal Self-Flow, CSF）和上下文对齐自回归DMD的两阶段后训练框架。CSF通过在保持嘈杂目标不变的情况下变化历史，利用上下文信息的不对称性：一个混合噪声历史的学生将其中间表示与干净历史的指数移动平均教师的表示对齐。这种自监督信号鼓励学生提取语义信息并改善跨模态对齐。上下文对齐的自回归DMD在生成器采样、伪评分训练和真实评分评估中共享因果掩码和前缀，以在块条件KL目标下匹配生成和参考分布。在经过校准的教师指导下，它执行干净前缀的少步蒸馏，然后在不切换目标或要求单独一致性蒸馏的情况下适应生成的历史。在480p分辨率下，Salt++在相同的4步因果设置下，相较于OmniForcing在JavisBench上提高了57%的视觉质量和45%的运动质量。一个单独的尺度后训练阶段将Salt++扩展到4步$1664 imes960$生成，在七个报告指标中的六个上超越了双向LTX-2。项目页面：https://xingtongge.github.io/Saltpp

Parameterized Stripe Attention for Efficient Video Generation
高效视频生成的参数化条纹注意力
Abstract
Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) enable high-quality video generation but suffer from substantial inference latency, primarily attributable to the computationally expensive full spatio-temporal attention. While sparse attention methods offer potential solutions, existing approaches face an inherent flexibility--efficiency dilemma: predefined masks lack the flexibility to capture diverse attention patterns, while runtime-determined masks introduce overheads and sacrifice hardware efficiency. We identify the lack of a unified structural characterization of DiT attention as a key limitation of existing methods, and establish that video DiT attention exhibits \textbf{periodic diagonal stripe structures} along both temporal and spatial dimensions. To formally encode these structured patterns within a single efficient kernel, we present {\bf PSA}, a parameterized stripe attention that formalizes the observed stripe regularity, unifying diverse attention patterns for efficient mask generation. This unified representation enables a single hardware-efficient CUDA kernel to process all sparse patterns, achieving FlashAttention-3-level Model FLOPs Utilization. To determine optimal sparsity configurations, we propose a training-free offline search algorithm that automatically maximizes sparsity under a specified error tolerance for each attention head. Experiments on HunyuanVideo and Wan~2.1 demonstrate that PSA achieves 1.57$\times$ and 1.37$\times$ end-to-end speedups over FlashAttention-3 baselines, with acceptable visual quality degradation.

扩散变换器（Diffusion Transformers, DiTs）能够实现高质量的视频生成，但在推理时存在显著的延迟，这主要归因于计算开销巨大的全时空注意力。虽然稀疏注意力方法提供了潜在的解决方案，但现有方法面临固有的灵活性与效率的两难：预定义的掩码缺乏捕捉多样化注意力模式的灵活性，而运行时确定的掩码则引入了额外开销并牺牲了硬件效率。我们识别出DiT注意力缺乏统一的结构特征描述是现有方法的一个关键限制，并确定视频DiT注意力沿时间和空间维度表现出 extbf{周期性对角条纹结构}。为了在单个高效内核中正式编码这些结构化模式，我们提出了 extbf{PSA}（Parameterized Stripe Attention），它形式化了观察到的条纹规律，统一了多样的注意力模式以实现高效的掩码生成。这种统一表示使得单个硬件高效的CUDA内核能够处理所有稀疏模式，实现了与FlashAttention-3相当的模型FLOPs利用率。为了确定最佳稀疏配置，我们提出了一种无训练的离线搜索算法，该算法在每个注意力头下自动最大化稀疏性，同时满足指定的误差容忍度。在HunyuanVideo和Wan~2.1上的实验表明，PSA相较于FlashAttention-3基线实现了1.57$ imes$和1.37$ imes$的端到端加速，同时视觉质量降级在可接受范围内。

Visual Parallel Search: Learning to Search High-Resolution Images with Parallel Tile Inspection and Adaptive Zoom
视觉并行搜索：通过并行图块检查和自适应缩放学习搜索高分辨率图像
Abstract
High-resolution visual question answering often fails because a multimodal model does not acquire the small, spatially localized evidence needed to answer a question. Sequential zooming can recover detail, but it asks the main model to choose a region before obtaining a reliable overview. We introduce VPS, a visual parallel-search framework in which a main agent first invokes grid_search to inspect image tiles in parallel with question-conditioned sub-agents, and then adaptively invokes zoom_in PSisual Parallel Search improves mean accuracy over dedicated zoom-only search in 14 of 15 same-model comparisons, with gains up to 8.0 points and especially strong improvements for smaller main models. ZoomBench retains an approximately 3.2-point gain at every tested size. We further develop a supervision pipeline with hint-free verification and a paired role-specific GRPO surrogate for learning the controller and tile-reader roles. SFT improves observed accuracy on all five benchmark splits, including a 4.17-point gain on HR-Bench 4K. Role-specific RL further reshapes search behavior: main-only RL reduces mean tool use from 2.65 to 2.11 with similar pass@1 in an internal four-response evaluation, while external accuracy changes are mixed. Joint training reveals an asymmetry between local evidence reading and global search control. Together, these results support VPS as an effective inference-time scaffold and a trainable decomposition for visual evidence acquisition.

高分辨率视觉问答常常失败，因为多模态模型未能获取回答问题所需的小型、空间局部证据。顺序缩放可以恢复细节，但它要求主模型在获得可靠概述之前选择一个区域。我们提出了VPS（Visual Parallel Search），这是一个视觉并行搜索框架，其中主代理首先调用grid_search与条件于问题的子代理并行检查图像图块，然后自适应地调用zoom_in。与仅专注于缩放的搜索相比，视觉并行搜索在15个同模型比较中有14个表现出平均准确率的提升，增幅高达8.0分，尤其是对于较小的主模型，改进效果显著。ZoomBench在每个测试规模上保持约3.2分的增益。我们进一步开发了一条监督管道，采用无提示验证和配对角色特定的GRPO替代品，以学习控制器和图块读取器的角色。SFT在所有五个基准分割上提高了观察到的准确率，包括在HR-Bench 4K上提高了4.17分。角色特定的强化学习进一步重塑搜索行为：仅主模型的强化学习将平均工具使用从2.65减少到2.11，在内部四响应评估中保持相似的pass@1，而外部准确率的变化则较为混合。联合训练揭示了局部证据读取与全局搜索控制之间的不对称性。这些结果共同支持VPS作为一种有效的推理时支架和可训练的视觉证据获取分解。

VesselBench-800K: A Large-scale Perception Benchmark for Multimodal Vessel Detection, Counting, and Density Estimation
VesselBench-800K：一个大规模的多模态船舶检测、计数和密度估计感知基准
Abstract
Vessel perception from space is crucial for a wide range of maritime applications, from traffic monitoring to environmental protection. However, most existing datasets predominantly focus on general object detection tasks in optical remote sensing (RS) images. Relying solely on single-modality optical RS images proves inadequate for effectively perceiving vessel objects in complex maritime scenarios, where ever-changing weather conditions (e.g., clouds and rain), the need for day-and-night coverage, and the inherent limitations of a single imaging modality pose significant challenges. To fill this gap, we introduce VesselBench-800K, the largest-to-date benchmark dataset on a global scale for vessel perception in multimodal RS images. As its name suggests, VesselBench-800K comprises 800,000 images, each at a resolution of 512x512 pixels, specifically curated for vessel perception tasks such as detection, counting, and density estimation. These multimodal image pairs (i.e., optical, SAR) are collected from diverse platforms, sensors, scenes, shooting heights, and synthetic sources, spanning spatial resolutions from 4.5m to 0.1m. Furthermore, we evaluate numerous state-of-the-art detection, counting, and density estimation models on VesselBench-800K through both qualitative and quantitative comparisons. By revealing previously unrecognized cues, this dataset holds immense potential to significantly advance our understanding of marine traffic. Our VesselBench dataset will be publicly available at https://github.com/danfenghong/IEEE_TGRS_VesselBench to support and contribute to community development.

World2Motion: Turning Video World Models into 3D Human Motion Generators
World2Motion：将视频世界模型转化为3D人类运动生成器
Abstract
We present World2Motion, a framework that generates scene-aware 3D human motion and corresponding video from a single image and a text prompt. While existing 3D motion generators learn from motion datasets, their generalization is constrained by limited coverage of environments. In contrast, video world models such as Cosmos 3 offer broader environmental priors but are not designed for full-body motion generation; recovering motion from their generated videos requires costly two-stage inference. To address these, we turn Cosmos 3 into a single-stage 3D motion generator. This adaptation has two challenges: the scarcity of paired video--motion data and temporal instability in the generated motion. First, we construct a training dataset combining synthetic video--motion pairs with real videos paired with estimated 3D motion. Second, we propose a shift-decoupled noise schedule that assigns different noise levels to video and motion through shared denoising progress. This design accommodates the different denoising requirements of the two modalities, reducing motion jitter. Experiments on a multi-source interaction benchmark show that World2Motion has better motion--text alignment and scene interaction compared with the evaluated 3D motion generators. It also matches the interaction success rate of the two-stage baseline while achieving approximately 3.3$\times$ faster inference.

Embedded Bi-Temporal Building Damage Assessment for On-Board Data Reduction
嵌入式双时态建筑损伤评估用于机载数据压缩
Abstract
Rapid assessment of building damage after natural disasters is essential to support emergency response. Earth Observation satellites can acquire relevant imagery shortly after an event, but exploitation is limited by uplink and downlink capacity and by ground-processing latency. We address this with a bi-temporal building damage assessment pipeline built on a siamese detector derived from YOLOX, designed to compress information at both ends of the ground/space link. On the ground, pre-disaster reference images are encoded into a compact latent space -- compressed by up to a factor of 64 -- and uplinked to the satellite. On board, this reference is compared with a fresh post-disaster acquisition so that the downlink carries only actionable object-level products, bounding boxes and damage classes, instead of full scenes. This cuts the data exchanged in both directions, while on xBD the strongly compressed reference still preserves most of the detection performance. Because on-board acquisitions suffer from residual pre/post co-registration errors, we introduce a latent-space shift estimation and correction module that regresses the global offset from the coarse feature level and realigns the post-disaster features before fusion. It substantially improves robustness to de-registration -- especially under large shifts, where fusion-only variants collapse -- while also raising nominal accuracy and remaining compatible with the strongest compression. We finally port the pipeline to two embedded targets, a Xilinx Versal VCK190 and an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, and report hardware performance (latency, throughput, power efficiency). The core detector and its compression port cleanly to both, but the operators needed for long-range robustness survive only on the Jetson GPU, whereas the Versal DPU does not.

在自然灾害后快速评估建筑损伤对于支持应急响应至关重要。地球观测卫星能够在事件发生后迅速获取相关影像，但由于上行和下行容量的限制以及地面处理延迟，利用受到限制。我们提出了一种基于YOLOX派生的孪生检测器构建的双时态建筑损伤评估管道，旨在压缩地面/空间链路两端的信息。在地面，灾前参考影像被编码为一个紧凑的潜在空间——压缩比例高达64倍——并上行至卫星。在卫星上，这一参考与新的灾后影像进行比较，以便下行仅传输可操作的对象级产品、边界框和损伤类别，而不是完整场景。这减少了双向交换的数据量，同时在xBD上，强压缩的参考仍然保留了大部分检测性能。由于机载影像存在残余的灾前/灾后配准误差，我们引入了潜在空间偏移估计和校正模块，从粗特征层回归全局偏移，并在融合之前重新对齐灾后特征。这显著提高了对去配准的鲁棒性——尤其是在大偏移下，融合仅变体会崩溃——同时提高了名义准确性，并保持与最强压缩的兼容性。最后，我们将该管道移植到两个嵌入式目标上，Xilinx Versal VCK190和NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin，并报告硬件性能（延迟、吞吐量、功率效率）。核心检测器及其压缩模块能够顺利移植到这两者上，但用于长距离鲁棒性的操作仅在Jetson GPU上存活，而Versal DPU则不支持。

RBF-GNN: Rational Basis Functions for Pseudo-Coordinate based Graph Convolutions
RBF-GNN：基于伪坐标的图卷积的有理基函数
Abstract
We propose RBF-GNN, a new pseudo-coordinate based graph neural network architecture that takes into account Euclidean, spherical or angular coordinates and uses them to induce a powerful spatial inductive bias. Similar in architecture to SplineCNN, we improve upon the latter by replacing the less efficient sparse-activation based B-splines whose number grows exponentially with dimension by rational Pad\'e basis functions. For effective training we propose a spline-subspace initialization and a variance-preserving weight rescaling. Experimentally, we evaluate on a number of popular neural network architectures that use SplineCNNs. We replace only the SplineCNNs with RBF-GNN. We achieve improved results, including on semantic keypoint matching, shape matching, event based camera computer vision tasks. We will make our implementation publicly available upon acceptance of the paper.

Back2Struct: Making Structured Images Editable Again
Back2Struct：让结构化图像再次可编辑
Abstract
Structured images, such as diagrams, charts, and flowcharts, are inherently symbolic and can be compactly represented in an editable format, yet in practice, they are often rendered as images, and therefore not graphically editable. This mismatch presents a significant challenge for researchers, engineers, and designers who wish to incorporate modified versions of existing graphic content into new materials without manually reconstructing it. In this study, we presentBack2Struct, which "makes structured images editable again" by directly recovering vector graphics code (SVG / XML) from image representations. Given an image of a structured graphic, Back2Struct predicts semantically object-level SVG / XML code that explicitly encodes text, shapes, topology, and layout, rather than performing low-level pixel vectorization. The generated code can be seamlessly imported into tools such as PowerPoint, allowing users to edit, refine, restyle, and reuse graphic content while preserving structural fidelity. Beyond supervised fine-tuning on ground-truth SVG token sequences, we further optimize Back2Struct with reward-based learning to better match deployment-time requirements: the output should be syntactically valid, properly concise, and visually faithful to the input diagram. Specifically, we design a composite reward that jointly encourages SVG / XML compilability, length consistency with the reference code, and structural or semantic similarity between the generated and ground-truth graphics. These complementary signals guide the model to produce SVGs that are not only closer to the training distribution, but also more complete, editable, and renderable in practice. Experiments show that Back2Struct improves accuracy, editability, validity, and user alignment over baselines. Dataset and code are available at: pengyu965.github.io/Back2Struct.github.io

MotionInsight: Diagnosing Object Motion Deficiencies in Generated Videos
MotionInsight：诊断生成视频中的物体运动缺陷
Abstract
Despite rapid progress in video generation models, they still exhibit obvious motion deficiencies, often manifested as incorrect object motion. However, most existing video quality evaluations focus on aesthetic quality or text-video alignment. To address this gap, we study object-centric motion fidelity assessment, evaluating target objects along object consistency, motion continuity, and physical plausibility. To achieve this, we first introduce VidMotion, a diagnostic dataset of 6,879 videos with designated moving objects and fine-grained annotations including dimension-wise scores and failure causes. We further propose MotionInsight, a diagnostic evaluator that shifts assessment from implicit RGB-frame observation to explicit motion-space diagnosis. By constructing motion-aware representations, MotionInsight makes subtle motion deficiencies more observable. We also introduce motion-specific rewards during GRPO to transform observed motion into a diagnostic assessment. Experiments demonstrate that MotionInsight provides an effective basis for diagnosing object motion deficiencies, producing human-aligned scores along three dimensions and grounded explanations.

UniBuild: Unified Building Mapping From Multi-Source Optical Remote Sensing Imagery With Detail Decoding and Geometry Regularization
UniBuild：基于多源光学遥感影像的统一建筑映射，结合细节解码和几何正则化
Abstract
Building extraction from optical remote sensing (RS) imagery is fundamental to urban mapping, yet existing methods are often dataset-specific and generalize poorly to unseen domains. Their practical use is also limited by insufficient detail recovery and weak geometric regularization, leading to blurred boundaries, irregular shapes, and merged adjacent buildings. To address these issues, we propose UniBuild, a unified building extraction framework for multi-source RGB optical RS imagery. First, a unified multi-dataset training scheme is constructed over heterogeneous RGB optical datasets to learn transferable building representations across sensors and resolutions. Second, a novel detail-preserving HR-DPT decoder is designed to integrate high-level semantic features with high-resolution spatial features, enhancing building detail recovery. Third, geometry-aware regularization is introduced through a structure-tensor-based direction-aware loss for boundary direction consistency and a saddle-aware loss for suppressing false activations in narrow inter-building gaps under low-resolution conditions. We train and evaluate UniBuild on multi-source RGB optical datasets, including 10 public high-resolution datasets and two self-collected low-resolution datasets. Experiments show that UniBuild consistently improves building-region accuracy, boundary sharpness, and adjacent-building separation across diverse datasets. It also generalizes well to unseen domains and supports practical building extraction from RGB optical RS imagery up to 10\,m resolution. The predicted masks can be further converted into GIS-compatible building footprints through simple polygonization. The trained model and inference code are released at https://github.com/zhu-xlab/UniBuild.

GleanVID: Complementary Token Selection for Efficient Video Large Language Models
GleanVID：高效视频大语言模型的互补标记选择
Abstract
Video Large Language Models (VideoLLMs) have achieved strong video understanding capabilities but incur substantial inference overhead due to the large number of visual tokens. Existing VideoLLM token compression methods largely rely on selection-independent scoring, overlooking cross-frame complementarity and consequently retaining redundant evidence across frames. Instead, we view video token selection as a progressive evidence accumulation process. It aims to retain visual evidence that is individually informative and collectively complementary under a limited token budget. Building on this insight, we introduce GleanVID, a training-free inference acceleration framework for VideoLLMs. Specifically, GleanVID first allocates the global token budget across frames according to temporal novelty and then selects tokens by jointly considering local representativeness and subspace complementarity, thereby preserving richer and less redundant visual evidence. Extensive experiments across diverse VideoLLMs and benchmarks demonstrate that GleanVID consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance. Notably, with only 25% of visual tokens, GleanVID preserves 98.6% of Qwen3-VL's original performance while reducing its prefill latency by 44.7%. On LLaVA-OV-7B, GleanVID at a 25% retention ratio even slightly surpasses the original model.

Speed in the Blind Spot: An Interpretability Analysis of Dynamic Perception in VLMs for Autonomous Driving
盲区中的速度：对自主驾驶中视觉语言模型动态感知的可解释性分析
Abstract
Vision-Language Models are increasingly used in autonomous-driving systems, yet their ability to recover dynamic physical state from visual input remains insufficiently characterized. We study velocity understanding as a controlled diagnostic across three tasks: surrounding-agent speed, current ego speed, and short-horizon future ego-speed proposal. On nuScenes, we evaluate open-weight general-purpose and PhysicalAI VLMs, together with the driving-oriented Alpamayo-1.5 Vision-Language-Action model, using multiple input and output formulations. We combine verbal evaluation with temporal perturbations, counterfactual ego-speed hints and linear probes of hidden representations. The tasks exhibit distinct failure modes. Surrounding-agent speed is weakly encoded in an agent-specific form, whereas current ego speed is often internally accessible but poorly verbalized: continuous probes achieve 4.7-5.8 km/h MAE compared with 10.2-16.8 km/h MAE for verbal outputs. Multiple frames provide inconsistent verbal gains to single frame inputs, and frame order is rarely exploited. Under non-optimized QLoRA, task-specific adaptation improves both task-relevant latent speed representations and verbal readout, but continuous surrounding-agent speed estimation remains weak, while most future-speed gains survive frame shuffling, indicating limited temporal grounding. Driving specialized Alpamayo-1.5 shows stronger latent representations for surrounding-agent and future ego speed, while current ego-speed decodability is comparable and substantial probe-verbal gaps remain. Thus, driving specialization can strengthen motion representations but does not guarantee stronger encoding across both scene and ego states or reliable readout. The results show that plausible planning outputs do not necessarily imply reliable recovery or temporal grounding of the underlying dynamic state.

NHO: A Neural Hamiltonian Operator for Anchor-based Region Localization and Dense Correspondance
NHO：一种用于基于锚点的区域定位和密集对应的神经哈密顿算子
Abstract
Non-rigid partial-to-full shape correspondence from sparse anchors requires identifying the corresponding region on the full surface and recovering dense correspondences between the partial shape and that region. We present NHO, which combines sparse anchors with the intrinsic geometry of the partial shape to learn a neural Hamiltonian operator whose localized eigenspace encodes both the region support and intrinsic coordinates for dense correspondence. NHO parameterizes the Hamiltonian potential as an intrinsic neural field and optimizes it using anchor evidence together with spectral and geometric constraints. To resolve the spatial ambiguity left by sparse anchors, we introduce reciprocal refinement between operator estimation and correspondence recovery. At each round, the current eigenspace provides spectral coordinates and restricts matching to its induced support, while geometrically reliable correspondences provide additional evidence for updating the potential. After refinement, aggregated eigenfunction energy yields the final localization, and the recovered map initializes dense correspondence refinement.

OmniRoute: Mapping Temporal Semantic Evidence to Audio-Visual Token Budgets for Efficient Omnimodal Large Language Models
OmniRoute：将时间语义证据映射到音视频令牌预算，以实现高效的全模态大语言模型
Abstract
Omnimodal large language models (Omni-LLMs) encode audio and visual streams into temporally interleaved token sequences for multimodal reasoning. However, processing long audio-visual token sequences incurs substantial prefill costs. Existing compression methods have made progress, but often overlook temporal changes in audio-visual semantic relevance. Motivated by temporal variation and local continuity, we propose OmniRoute, a training-free, two-stage compression framework. First, Temporal Evidence-Guided Budgeting (TEGB) derives chunk-wise modality preferences and initial leading-modality budgets from semantic relevance and local content variation. Second, Budget-Constrained Semantic Compression (BCSC) compresses the leading modality and then calibrates the follower's retention target using the actual retained fraction. For video, it combines spatiotemporal grouping with query-guided selection; for audio, it selects tokens based on encoder attention and query relevance, then merges residual tokens into context anchors under visual guidance. Experiments on four representative benchmarks demonstrate a better trade-off between inference efficiency and performance than competitive baselines. The code and interface will be released to facilitate further research.

全模态大语言模型（Omni-LLMs）将音频和视觉流编码为时间交错的令牌序列，以进行多模态推理。然而，处理长音视频令牌序列会产生可观的预填充成本。现有的压缩方法取得了一定进展，但往往忽视了音视频语义相关性的时间变化。基于时间变化和局部连续性的动机，我们提出了OmniRoute，一个无训练的两阶段压缩框架。首先，时间证据引导的预算分配（TEGB）根据语义相关性和局部内容变化推导出分块的模态偏好和初始主导模态预算。其次，预算约束的语义压缩（BCSC）压缩主导模态，然后使用实际保留比例校准跟随者的保留目标。对于视频，它结合了时空分组和查询引导选择；对于音频，它基于编码器注意力和查询相关性选择令牌，然后在视觉引导下将剩余令牌合并为上下文锚点。在四个代表性基准上的实验表明，与竞争基线相比，推理效率和性能之间的权衡更为优越。代码和接口将被发布以促进进一步研究。

Spatial-OPSD: Self-Improving Spatial Reasoning via Label-Free Self-Distillation
Spatial-OPSD：通过无标签自蒸馏自我提升空间推理能力
Abstract
Vision-language models (VLMs) increasingly operate in embodied and spatially grounded settings, where accurate understanding of depth, viewpoint, and three-dimensional relations is essential. However, improving spatial reasoning typically relies on ground-truth answers, answer-derived rewards, or other forms of task-specific supervision. We introduce Spatial-OPSD, a label-free self-improvement framework that instead exploits spatial structure naturally available from perception and reconstruction tools. During training, a privileged teacher receives automatically obtainable spatial priors, such as depth, reconstructed 3D relations, and camera geometry, while the student observes only the original visual-language input. On trajectories sampled by the student itself, the teacher provides dense token-level supervision, allowing the student to internalize spatial knowledge without ground-truth answer labels or privileged information at inference time. To extend this supervision beyond a single round, we adopt a round-wise recursive training scheme: the teacher remains frozen within each round to provide a stable learning target, and the improved student initializes both teacher and student in the next round, where privileged spatial priors re-establish an informative teacher--student asymmetry. This enables repeated self-improvement while avoiding a rapidly moving teacher during optimization. Across four VLM families, a single round of Spatial-OPSD consistently improves the five-benchmark average, while three rounds further push a strong spatially specialized model to the open-source frontier, achieving the highest average among the open models and the best results on three of five spatial reasoning benchmarks. Our code is available at https://github.com/vermouth599/Spatial-OPSD.

视觉语言模型（VLMs）越来越多地在具身和空间基础的环境中运行，在这些环境中，准确理解深度、视角和三维关系至关重要。然而，提升空间推理通常依赖于真实答案、基于答案的奖励或其他形式的任务特定监督。我们提出了Spatial-OPSD，一个无标签自我提升框架，它利用从感知和重建工具自然获得的空间结构。在训练过程中，特权教师接收自动可获得的空间先验信息，如深度、重建的三维关系和相机几何，而学生仅观察原始的视觉语言输入。在学生自己采样的轨迹上，教师提供密集的标记级监督，使学生能够在推理时无需真实答案标签或特权信息而内化空间知识。为了将这种监督扩展到多个回合，我们采用了逐回合递归训练方案：教师在每个回合内保持不变，以提供稳定的学习目标，而改进后的学生在下一个回合中初始化教师和学生，其中特权空间先验重新建立了信息丰富的教师-学生不对称。这使得在优化过程中能够重复自我提升，同时避免教师的快速移动。在四个VLM家族中，Spatial-OPSD的单轮训练始终提高了五个基准的平均值，而三轮训练进一步推动了一个强大的空间专用模型达到开源前沿，在开放模型中实现了最高的平均值，并在五个空间推理基准中的三个上取得了最佳结果。我们的代码可在 https://github.com/vermouth599/Spatial-OPSD 获取。

Context without Commitment: Robust Dense Correspondence under Non-Rigid Deformation
无承诺的上下文：非刚性变形下的鲁棒稠密对应
Abstract
Non-rigid point-cloud registration aims to find the corresponding target point for each point on a deforming source surface. Point-level matching keeps the full target cloud available, but correspondence becomes ambiguous when different regions have similar local geometry. Regional or coarse-to-fine methods provide broader spatial context, but an incorrect regional match can exclude the correct correspondence before dense matching. We propose CoCo-Reg, which uses regional patches to enrich dense point features without allowing patch predictions to restrict the final point-level search. CoCo-Reg constructs farthest-point-sampled patches, exchanges geometric information within and between source and target, supervises patch similarity using identity-corrected point overlap, and projects the resulting regional information back to dense point features. The final registration stage still scores the full target cloud before global point-level candidate selection. On 726 held-out ModelNet10 objects across nine deformation levels, two established learning-based baselines obtain mean correspondence errors of 0.1993 and 0.1921, whereas CoCo-Reg obtains 0.0547. Relative to its point-level baseline, this is a 72.6\% reduction. CoCo-Reg achieves lower correspondence error on 92.3\% of paired test objects and reduces the mean fraction of points with error above 0.1 from 47.3\% to 17.3\%. Chamfer distance and HD95 decrease in the same direction, and CoCo-Reg remains lower across all tested deformation levels. These results support using regional context for dense non-rigid correspondence without imposing a hard patch-level restriction on the final search. Because evaluation uses one checkpoint per method, the reported gains characterize the complete systems rather than the isolated causal contribution of an individual component. Code will be made publicly available.

LDM-is-AE: Latent Diffusion Model is an Auto-Encoder for End-to-End Image Generation
LDM-is-AE：潜在扩散模型是一种用于端到端图像生成的自编码器
Abstract
Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) typically adopt a two-stage pipeline: an auto-encoder (AE) is first pre-trained to define a latent space, then a diffusion model is trained to perform denoising within it. Such a two-stage design introduces a representation mismatch, as the latent space is optimized for reconstruction rather than adapting the denoising dynamics. We reveal that the LDM itself is an AE, and consequently present LDM-is-AE, an end-to-end one-stage LDM training framework that eliminates the need for a separately trained tokenizer. Our key observation is that the LDM backbone actually performs a latent-to-feature-to-latent transformation at each denoising step, which can be interpreted as an internal decoding--encoding process. Leveraging this structure, we split the DiT backbone into two reciprocal components, DiT-E (i.e., DiT Encoding) and DiT-D (i.e., DiT Decoding), and impose image-space supervision on the intermediate features across all timesteps. Our model encourages the internal representation to align with the image domain throughout denoising, thereby establishing an explicit latent-to-image-to-latent path. At the zero-noise timestep, our model further performs an image-to-latent-to-image mapping, corresponding to an auto-encoding process. As a result, LDM-is-AE jointly learns latent representations and denoising dynamics in an end-to-end manner, yielding a diffusion-native latent space tailored to the generation process. Experiments demonstrate that LDM-is-AE exhibits highly competitive generation performance, achieving an FID of 1.80 and 1.90 on 256x256 and 512x512 class-conditional image generation, respectively.

潜在扩散模型（Latent Diffusion Models, LDMs）通常采用两阶段管道：首先预训练一个自编码器（Auto-Encoder, AE）以定义潜在空间，然后训练一个扩散模型在该空间内进行去噪。这种两阶段设计引入了表示不匹配，因为潜在空间是针对重构进行优化，而不是适应去噪动态。我们揭示LDM本身就是一个自编码器，因此提出了LDM-is-AE，一个端到端的一阶段LDM训练框架，消除了对单独训练的标记器的需求。我们的关键观察是，LDM主干实际上在每个去噪步骤中执行潜在到特征再到潜在的转换，这可以被解释为一个内部解码-编码过程。利用这一结构，我们将DiT主干分为两个相互依存的组件，DiT-E（即DiT编码）和DiT-D（即DiT解码），并在所有时间步上对中间特征施加图像空间监督。我们的模型鼓励内部表示在去噪过程中与图像域对齐，从而建立一个明确的潜在到图像再到潜在的路径。在零噪声时间步上，我们的模型进一步执行图像到潜在再到图像的映射，对应于一个自编码过程。因此，LDM-is-AE以端到端的方式共同学习潜在表示和去噪动态，生成一个针对生成过程量身定制的扩散原生潜在空间。实验表明，LDM-is-AE展现出高度竞争的生成性能，在256x256和512x512类别条件图像生成上分别达到了1.80和1.90的FID。

Real2Gym: Building Gyms from Videos, Bringing Skills to Robots
Real2Gym：从视频构建健身房，将技能带入机器人
Abstract
Real-world videos provide rich demonstrations of manipulation, but turning them into reusable robot skills requires visually aligned environments, executable physical interactions, and mechanisms for learning from experience. We introduce Real2Gym, an agentic Real2Sim2Real framework that turns human and robot demonstrations into interactive simulation gyms and brings skills acquired in simulation to physical robots. The Real2Sim module reconstructs editable scenes, aligns objects and cameras with the input, validates demonstrated or retargeted actions through native physics execution, and generates task-conditioned variations with action-feasibility checks. Within these environments, the agent generates executable code for manipulation stages, observes their outcomes, and distills successful attempts and failures into reusable task procedures, object-relative motions, and recovery strategies. Through a shared perception-and-control interface, these skills guide subsequent execution in simulation and on real robots, with motions adapted to current observations and no updates to the underlying model weights. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that Real2Gym enables high-fidelity simulation environment reconstruction, outperforming GPT-6 Astra Direct Mode by 16.7% in success rate with approximately 74.9% fewer policy-execution tokens across these environments, while exceeding it by 33.3% in physical robot execution success rate across four tasks on a real Franka robot.

Task-Oriented Visual Feature Compression via Residual Vector Quantization for Device-Edge Multimodal Inference
基于残差向量量化的任务导向视觉特征压缩用于设备-边缘多模态推理
Abstract
Large multimodal models (LMMs) support diverse visual understanding and reasoning tasks but are often impractical to run entirely on resource-constrained devices. Device-edge co-inference reduces device computation, yet transmitting visual data over bandwidth-limited uplinks can introduce substantial delay. Task-oriented feature compression (TOFC) reduces the payload through feature aggregation and entropy coding. However, continuous-feature coding remains costly, and query-agnostic aggregation may discard task-relevant local evidence. We propose query-guided task-oriented feature compression (Q-TOFC) for device-edge multimodal inference. Q-TOFC employs residual vector quantization (RVQ) to encode each merged feature as a compact sequence of codebook indices, reducing its representation cost and allowing more features to be transmitted. It further incorporates query relevance into feature aggregation and uses a quantization error compensation adapter to mitigate the distortion introduced by discrete quantization. Experiments on seven multimodal benchmarks show that Q-TOFC reduces the visual payload by 53.6% relative to TOFC while maintaining comparable average normalized task performance. End-to-end latency evaluations further demonstrate lower latency under bandwidth-constrained uplinks.

大型多模态模型（LMMs）支持多样的视觉理解和推理任务，但在资源受限的设备上完全运行往往不切实际。设备-边缘协同推理减少了设备计算负担，但在带宽有限的上行链路上传输视觉数据可能会引入显著的延迟。任务导向特征压缩（TOFC）通过特征聚合和熵编码减少了负载。然而，连续特征编码仍然成本高昂，且与查询无关的聚合可能会丢弃与任务相关的局部证据。我们提出了一种查询引导的任务导向特征压缩（Q-TOFC）方法，用于设备-边缘多模态推理。Q-TOFC采用残差向量量化（RVQ）将每个合并特征编码为紧凑的代码本索引序列，从而减少其表示成本并允许传输更多特征。它还将查询相关性纳入特征聚合，并使用量化误差补偿适配器来减轻离散量化引入的失真。在七个多模态基准上的实验表明，Q-TOFC相对于TOFC将视觉负载减少了53.6%，同时保持了可比的平均归一化任务性能。端到端延迟评估进一步证明了在带宽受限的上行链路下具有更低的延迟。

Why MLLMs Struggle to Count: Overcoming Individuation and Aggregation Bottlenecks with ConvStack
为何多模态大型语言模型在计数方面表现不佳：通过ConvStack克服个体化和聚合瓶颈
Abstract
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) consistently struggle with fine-grained visual counting, yet the underlying causes remain poorly understood. In this work, we present a mechanistic analysis of this failure mode, identifying two critical bottlenecks inherent to the global attention pipeline of MLLMs. First, we reveal an individuation bottleneck stemming from image patchification: because Vision Transformers process patches independently, they struggle to group fragmented geometric features across boundaries into distinct object representations. Second, we identify a collapse in the subsequent counting aggregation process, where representation separation rapidly diminishes as numerosity increases due to attention compression. Identifying and formalizing these twin bottlenecks constitutes our first major contribution. To overcome them, we propose ConvStack, a lightweight architecture that operates directly in the visual token space to explicitly aggregate and inject local spatial structures via zero-initialized residual connections. By explicitly addressing the individuation bottleneck, ConvStack provides unambiguous geometric evidence for downstream aggregation. Remarkably, by fine-tuning exclusively on counting tasks, the model achieves substantial improvements in dense object counting and broader spatial understanding benchmarks, without compromising on general visual capabilities.

NRF-GS: Neural Residual Fields for Expressive and Compact Gaussian Splatting
NRF-GS：用于表现力强且紧凑的高斯溅射的神经残差场
Abstract
We revisit the role of appearance modeling in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and show that limited expressiveness in view-dependent reflectance is a key driver of representation redundancy. In standard 3DGS, low-order spherical harmonics (SH) are used, restricting the splats' ability to model high-frequency directional effects, which is typically compensated by increasing the number of splats. We propose \emph{NRF-GS: Neural Residual Fields for Gaussian Splatting}, a hybrid representation that replaces per-splat SH-bases with a shared neural residual field. Each Gaussian encodes a compact set of appearance features and a lambertian base color, while a lightweight \emph{global scene-level MLP} predicts view-dependent residuals conditioned on viewing direction, distance, and per-splat features. This formulation enhances directional reflectance modeling by combining diffuse per-splat reflectance representations with a shared global function for high-frequency details, enabling both higher expressiveness and parameter sharing across splats. Our key insight is that by accurately capturing high-frequency directional reflectance, especially in specular regions, the GS-representation becomes more expressive, reducing the need for geometrically redundant splats. As a result, NRF-GS achieves comparable or better rendering quality while reducing the number of Gaussians by up to 50\%, and produces visibly improved specular and high-frequency details.

EviViT: Evidence-Adaptive Vision Transformers for Fine-Grained Perception
EviViT：适应证据的视觉变换器用于细粒度感知
Abstract
Fine-grained visual perception enables vision-language models to distinguish subtle attributes and ground their answers in visual evidence. In high-resolution scenes, processing the whole image at greater resolution spends visual tokens on irrelevant content, while isolated crops can lose the context needed to interpret the selected evidence. We introduce EviViT, a lightweight attachment that learns where a pretrained vision transformer should acquire detail. Human visual-search traces supervise a question-conditioned evidence density, which guides regional re-reading from the original pixels and the allocation of visual tokens. A sparse, coordinate-aware bridge then connects the regional features to the global scene, allowing the host to interpret precise evidence in context. Learned with the host backbone frozen, the attachment serves both the base model and compatible post-trained descendants without refitting. Experiments across nine hosts show consistent gains in average fine-grained accuracy. Matched-budget comparisons further show that EviViT outperforms global-only processing at every tested token ceiling while using fewer visual tokens.

Multi-Granularity Language-Guided Imitation Learning via Instruction Decomposition
基于指令分解的多粒度语言引导模仿学习
Abstract
Using language instructions as conditions to guide robot policy learning has recently become an important research domain. However, existing language-guided policy learning methods typically use an overall task description to guide the entire demonstration trajectory. For manipulation tasks involving multiple execution stages, these methods assign the same language description to different subtasks, making it difficult to distinguish the behaviors required at different stages. In this work, we propose a multi-granularity language guidance method based on instruction decomposition. The proposed method decomposes an overall task description into more fine-grained, concrete subtask-level language instructions, thereby enhancing learning efficiency and improving performance. We evaluate the proposed method in the setting of multi-task imitation learning and validate its effectiveness.

TaoFlowForge：基于级联流匹配的渐进式原生网格生成
Abstract
3D content generation technology has significantly advanced the work of designers, as well as the 3D printing and gaming industries. However, it remains difficult to produce lightweight, editable, and topologically clean artistic content that is directly production-ready. To achieve this, we present TaoFlowForge, an artistic mesh foundation model that generates production-ready meshes. Specifically, TaoFlowForge decomposes the mesh generation process into vertices generation and their connectivity prediction, i.e., edges. We formulate vertices generation as a two-stage coarse-to-fine process and incorporate several effective loss functions to further enhance its performance. In the connectivity prediction stage, we propose a simple yet effective method for estimating the connectivity affinity between vertices and additionally predict per-vertex normals, which determines the correct orientation of faces. Besides, we construct a large-scale dataset combining hand-crafted 3D assets with public high-quality topology datasets. Based on this, a carefully designed data curation pipeline is employed to filter the raw dataset, retaining only high-quality topology data for model training. Our model is trained on the combined dataset and tested on both out-of-distribution hand-crafted set of 3D assets and public datasets. Under image-conditioned generation, TaoFlowForge outperforms autoregressive methods and achieves state-of-the-art results among open-source mesh topology generators. We will release all the code and weights together with a portion of our test dataset.

MSTypography: Multi-character Semantic Typography via Balancing Word Legibility and Object Recognizability
MSTypography：通过平衡单词可读性和对象可识别性实现的多字符语义排版
Abstract
Semantic typography is a design technique where the visual representation of a word conveys its semantic meaning, while maintaining its legibility. Existing digital typography methods mainly focus on single-character scenarios. They suffer from a lack of legibility constraints and insufficient local deformation when extended to multi-character words, as the intricate structures among multiple characters are hardly preserved during the typography process. In this paper, we propose a global-to-local typography framework for multi-character scenarios. It performs mask-driven silhouette approximation at the global level, while semantic-guided refinement at the local level, with a culling step in between to improve efficiency. To preserve word legibility, we designed structural losses (including explicit collision constraints and implicit Jacobian singular value constraints) and an OCR constraint for character-level readability. To enhance the object recognizability, we leverage semantic guidance with diffusion priors, which drives the character glyph toward the target concept while preserving its structural integrity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first multi-character semantic typography method that effectively balances word legibility and object recognizability.

Improved Distributional Diffusion Models
改进的分布扩散模型
Abstract
Distributional Diffusion Models (DDMs) replace the standard mean-prediction denoiser with a \emph{distributional} denoiser trained via a scoring rule objective, learning a stochastic approximation to $p(x_1 \mid x_t)$ rather than its conditional mean. However, scaling DDMs to modern image-generation settings faces two obstacles: (i) multi-particle training incurs overhead that scales with the number of particles, (ii) DDMs use globally fixed scoring rule hyperparameters, forcing a single trade-off across sampling budgets. We mitigate these limitations by deferring particle expansion to late transformer layers, and the hyperparameter trade-off by introducing time-dependent scoring rule schedules informed by the dynamical regimes of~\citet{Biroli2024}. Combined with a DiT-based latent setup, these changes make DDM training practical on class-conditional ImageNet-$256^2$, achieving 4.48 FID at 4 steps and 2.38 at 50 steps with DiT-XL/2, from a single model trained from scratch in one stage, without a teacher, self-distillation or JVPs. The result is a stochastic few-step generator whose FID does not degrade as the sampling budget grows from 4 to 50 NFE, and the same recipe transfers to text-to-image generation.

End-to-End Self-Supervised RGB-T Tracking without Modality Misleading
无模态误导的端到端自监督RGB-T跟踪
Abstract
RGB-T object tracking leverages the complementary characteristics of visible and thermal infrared modalities to improve robustness under adverse conditions. Existing supervised methods typically rely on costly modality-aligned bounding box annotations, while most self-supervised approaches follow a two-stage pseudo-labeling paradigm, making tracker training sensitive to pseudo-label quality and preventing joint end-to-end optimization. In this paper, we propose ESMTrack, a fully end-to-end self-supervised RGB-T tracking framework without offline pseudo-label generation or dense frame-level bounding box annotations. Given only the standard initial-frame annotation used in visual tracking, ESMTrack learns discriminative and temporally consistent representations through two complementary objectives: a grounding triplet loss on annotated initial frames and a cross-frame temporal triplet loss on unlabeled search frames, with reliable samples selected by forward-backward consistency. To address modality dominance bias, ESMTrack employs a three-branch architecture consisting of a fusion branch and two unimodal branches for RGB and thermal inputs. We quantify modality contributions using the Average Peak-to-Correlation Energy by measuring response discrepancies between the fusion and unimodal branches. The resulting reliability estimates guide a training-time modality decoupling mechanism that suppresses dominant-modality shortcuts and adaptively weights cross-modal contrastive learning for task-level alignment. Extensive experiments on five RGB-T tracking benchmarks show that ESMTrack achieves competitive state-of-the-art performance, strong cross-dataset generalization, and real-time inference speed.

Sparse cubical complexes for efficient topology-preservation in image data
稀疏立方复合体在图像数据中高效保持拓扑的应用
Abstract
Persistent homology (PH) is a frequently used tool for extracting and preserving topological information from image data, particularly in image segmentation, where preservation of topological structures is important. However, despite its general applicability across dimensionality, domains, and target structures, the runtime cost of PH-based methods often makes their practical use infeasible. In this work, we argue that this runtime cost is largely driven by processing information that is unimportant for downstream application (e.g. as optimization objective). We propose sparse cubical filtrations as an alternative foundation for PH computation, reducing subsequent computational costs by factors of up to 100 on real datasets. We show close agreement with the optimization signal of the dense counterpart and empirically evaluate our solution's effectiveness as an optimization objective in realistic training regimes where other PH-based objectives can practically not operate (i.e., 3D data with large patch sizes). We show how our solution improves topological accuracy by up to 80\% across six diverse datasets while maintaining pixel- and region-based accuracy.

InsightMap: Structured Spatial Modeling for Embodied Multimodal Reasoning
InsightMap：用于具身多模态推理的结构化空间建模
Abstract
Language-guided navigation requires connecting partial observations to a persistent spatial reference and learning how actions change that representation. We introduce InsightMap, a framework that uses top-down maps as both explicit spatial memory and action-conditioned prediction targets. Historical views are linked to labeled map locations, and a shared multimodal backbone jointly learns navigation action prediction and post-action map generation. Map prediction provides auxiliary training supervision, while navigation inference decodes actions from the observed spatial context. An aligned RGB-D data pipeline supports a common interface for navigation, visual question answering, situated reasoning, and 3D grounding. On the validation-unseen splits of R2R-CE and RxR-CE, InsightMap achieves success rates (SR) of 56.9% and 54.9%, respectively. Adding map-prediction supervision improves R2R-CE SR by 4.3 and success weighted by path length (SPL) by 3.2 percentage points. On static spatial tasks, InsightMap achieves 103.7 CIDEr on ScanQA, 60.1% exact-match accuracy on SQA3D, and 53.1% grounding accuracy at 0.5 IoU on ScanRefer with detected object proposals. On Unitree Go2, it outperforms NaVid and NaVILA in hallway, lab, and office environments.

HaPRL: Human-Anchored Process Reinforcement Learning for Visual Search Agent
HaPRL：基于人类锚定的过程强化学习用于视觉搜索代理
Abstract
Multi-turn visual search agents answer questions about high-resolution images by iteratively deciding where to look. Reinforcement learning for these agents rewards only the final answer, leaving the search process unsupervised. Consequently, faulty routes in which the reasoning process is erroneous yet the final result is correct arise frequently, which in turn leads to ineffective training, i.e., scaling along the wrong paths. In this paper, we introduce HaPRL, the first framework to reinforce the search process with human search behavior. We first build an annotation platform and collect 1K+ human-annotated data with fine-grained behavioral signals. During training, a carefully designed judge scores each rollout with task-adaptive weights, anchored on the distilled trace of how a human annotator actually searched the same image. Extensive experiments show that HaPRL consistently outperforms outcome-based RL, and early-stage process supervision yields 6.7x more improvement in subsequent outcome-based scaling. Our results also demonstrate the importance of aligning model behavior with human process annotation signals, which offer new insight into the training of foundation models.

Exploring In-Context Learning for Handwritten Text Recognition
探索上下文学习在手写文本识别中的应用
Abstract
Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) systems have become an indispensable tool for the digitization of historical documents. Not only do they cut down time and cost, but they also allow democratizing access and processing of their contents by generating their transcripts. However, literature in HTR currently focuses mostly on specialized models that require large amounts of annotated samples to achieve satisfactory performance. We explore the use of In-Context Learning with pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to create a transcription pipeline without updating the model's parameters. We then evaluate this pipeline across multiple collections and models, and demonstrate that general-purpose VLMs can be effectively taught how to transcribe handwritten text from images. To assess how our observations may translate to practical applications, we evaluate the performance in a Cross-Domain (CD) scenario, where context examples are drawn from a different collection than the query image. Results in both the controlled In-Domain (ID) scenario and the realistic CD scenario follow the same patterns. First, as context size grows, the error range is expected to narrow towards the average performance. Thus, larger context sizes sacrifice the performance of the oracle-best sampling for lower expected error rates. The results obtained show that, without any parameter updates, this methodology has strong potential to compete with traditional HTR in the presence of domain shift. Moreover, we show and argue that some context samplings work better than others and suggest more effort should be put into finding an ideal sampling method in future work.

Adaptive Reward Routing: Dynamic Multi-Reward Optimization for Joint Audio-Video Diffusion via Forward-Process RL
自适应奖励路由：通过前向过程强化学习实现联合音视频扩散的动态多奖励优化
Abstract
Multi-reward guided reinforcement learning (i.e., RL) offers a promising way to improve joint audio-video diffusion models along several complementary objectives, including modality-specific quality, cross-modal semantic alignment, and temporal synchronization. Its effectiveness, however, depends on two quantities that change during training: where reward-driven updates should act, and how competing rewards should be combined. Existing methods tend to rely on fixed routing and reward weights, failing to track evolving model functions. To address these limitations, we propose Adaptive Reward Routing to jointly adapt update locations and reward coordination during forward-process RL (i.e., DiffusionNFT) of joint audio-video diffusion models. Our method consists of two components. (i) Cross-Modal Influence-Guided Routing (Localizing Updates): We use bidirectional cross-attention responses as an efficient proxy for evolving cross-modal influence, dynamically reweighting token-aware losses and scaling gradients across cross-modal layers without additional model interventions. (ii) Preference-Preserving Modality-Aware Reweighting (Coordinating Rewards): We preserve predefined weights as preference priors and use branch-specific reward-gradient interactions as residual corrections after warm-up. This resolves evolving conflicts without letting dominant rewards suppress weak but essential objectives. Extensive experiments demonstrate consistent improvements in modality quality, semantic consistency, and audio-video synchronization over strong RL baselines. Ablations and mechanism analyses further validate the complementary benefits of adaptive update routing and reward coordination.

多奖励引导的强化学习（即RL）为改善联合音视频扩散模型提供了一种有前景的方法，涵盖多个互补目标，包括特定模态的质量、跨模态的语义对齐和时间同步。然而，其有效性依赖于两个在训练过程中变化的量：奖励驱动更新应作用于何处，以及如何组合竞争奖励。现有方法往往依赖于固定的路由和奖励权重，未能跟踪不断变化的模型功能。为了解决这些局限性，我们提出了自适应奖励路由，以在联合音视频扩散模型的前向过程强化学习（即DiffusionNFT）中共同适应更新位置和奖励协调。我们的方法由两个组件组成。(i) 跨模态影响引导路由（本地化更新）：我们使用双向跨注意力响应作为不断变化的跨模态影响的有效代理，动态重新加权基于令牌的损失，并在跨模态层之间缩放梯度，而无需额外的模型干预。(ii) 偏好保留的模态感知重加权（协调奖励）：我们保留预定义的权重作为偏好先验，并在预热后使用分支特定的奖励梯度交互作为残差修正。这解决了不断变化的冲突，而不让主导奖励抑制弱但重要的目标。大量实验表明，在模态质量、语义一致性和音视频同步方面，相较于强大的RL基线，我们的方法均表现出一致的改善。消融实验和机制分析进一步验证了自适应更新路由和奖励协调的互补效益。

ResComEmb: Effective and Efficient Multimodal Embedding via Residual Homogeneity Compression
ResComEmb：通过残差同质性压缩实现有效且高效的多模态嵌入
Abstract
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for universal multimodal representation learning. However, existing methods either compress each input into a single vector, limiting fine-grained expressiveness, or retain long sequences of visual-token vectors, incurring substantial storage and interaction costs. To resolve this trade-off, we propose ResComEmb, a trainable framework for effective and efficient universal multi-vector multimodal embedding. ResComEmb first encodes each input at native dynamic resolution into ordered global, intermediate, and fine-grained views. After MLLM contextualization and embedding projection, a trainable Residual Homogeneity Compression (RHC) module reduces within-granularity redundancy and cross-granularity repetition under explicit visual token budgets. Then, ResComEmb introduces a length-adaptive Bidirectional Late-Interaction Matching mechanism for robust query-document scoring, which averages the strongest token-level matches in each direction and combines the two scores using a weight based on how many valid tokens each side has. Extensive experiments on MMEB, ViDoRe V1, and ViDoRe V2 show that ResComEmb produces higher-quality universal multimodal embeddings than VLM2Vec-V2, and outperforms ColQwen2.5 in visual document retrieval using only 37.5% of its full visual token budget, demonstrating a favorable effectiveness-efficiency trade-off.

AESOP: Asymmetric Human-Camera Generation with Translation-Intensity Control
AESOP：具有翻译强度控制的非对称人机生成
Abstract
Human motion defines an action, while a camera trajectory determines how it is presented. Camera generation for a given human motion and joint human-camera generation are usually treated as separate tasks, although both share an asymmetric dependency: human motion can be generated independently, whereas the camera responds to the realized action. We introduce AESOP, a unified framework with an independent human pathway and a shared human-conditioned camera generator. Its asymmetric architecture serves both tasks while preserving the human output during camera generation. Although human context anchors the shot to the action and camera text describes its movement, translation intensity remains underspecified. We therefore construct trajectory pairs that differ in camera translation magnitude while sharing human motion and camera text, then use these pairs to learn an explicit intensity condition. Experiments on the PulpMotion dataset demonstrate strong camera distributional and framing quality in both tasks and effective control over camera translation intensity.

Seeing Is Not Addressing: Auditing Linguistic Access to Frozen Visual Geometry
视觉并非等同于表述：审计语言对冻结视觉几何的访问
Abstract
Visual distinctions are often finer than those reflected in linguistic conceptualization. Vision-language models exhibit a similar asymmetry: a distinction can remain discriminable in frozen image geometry while being weakly addressable through the native text interface. We study this gap by separating visual discriminability from linguistic addressability in text-to-image retrieval. Using FactorAtlas, a fully crossed testbed of 23,040 images spanning shape, hue, pattern, and nuisance variation, we compare both readouts on held-out images of the same distinctions. We then derive image-side contrasts that separate each value from its alternatives for matched visual grounding, and test whether this reduces the native-text access gap across factors and models. Direction-specific and visual-absence controls tie these gains to the relevant visual contrast; the gains persist after global alignment and extend to compositional retrieval and natural images. Together, these results show that visual discriminability and linguistic addressability need not coincide, and that matched visual grounding can probe and reduce the resulting access gap.

Codebook-Guided Cross-Modal Knowledge Distillation for Structurally Heterogeneous Features
基于代码本的跨模态知识蒸馏用于结构异构特征
Abstract
Cross-modal knowledge distillation transfers knowledge from a teacher modality to a student modality. Existing feature-level alignment methods typically assume that teacher and student features reside in structurally alignable representation spaces. However, this assumption does not hold when cross-modal features are structurally heterogeneous and lack clear unit-level correspondence, such as 2D spatial visual grids and 1D temporal audio sequences, thereby limiting the applicability of feature-level alignment. To address this challenge, we propose a cross-modal distillation framework that enables effective knowledge transfer across structurally heterogeneous feature spaces via a vector-quantized codebook. Specifically, teacher features are abstracted into a set of vector-form codes regardless of their original feature structure, and the selected codes serve as concept-level anchors for student learning. Code selection is guided by both task relevance and student compatibility, allowing the student to receive transferable teacher knowledge without requiring direct unit-level feature alignment. Experimental results across diverse cross-modal distillation scenarios demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework on classification and semantic segmentation tasks.

V-JEPA Policy: Building Effective World-Action Models on Predictive Visual Latents
V-JEPA政策：基于预测视觉潜变量构建有效的世界行动模型
Abstract
World-action models (WAMs) couple future visual-state prediction with action generation. By adapting video generators or image-editing models pretrained at scale, a prominent line of recent WAMs inherits both predictive knowledge and the models in which it was learned. We ask whether a predictive visual latent space induced by large-scale predictive pretraining can instead provide a sufficient foundation for effective WAM learning without inheriting a complete pretrained visual generative model. To answer this question, we introduce V-JEPA Policy, a simple framework that builds a WAM on the latent space of a frozen V-JEPA 2.1 encoder. An instruction-conditioned future-latent predictor and a flow-matching action expert are jointly learned from scratch in a single downstream stage, with the predictor's future-informed context key--value states conditioning action generation. With 0.9B total parameters, of which 0.6B are trainable, V-JEPA Policy achieves competitive performance with representative WAM and vision-language-action baselines across LIBERO, LIBERO-Plus, and RoboCasa-GR1. Comparing visual foundations under the same downstream framework and training budget identifies V-JEPA latents as more effective than the discriminative, reconstructive, and video-understanding-oriented alternatives, particularly under distribution shifts. Beyond task-specific learning, pretraining the predictor on DROID video--instruction pairs without action labels and adapting it into a WAM yields substantial gains in downstream control and out-of-distribution generalization. Together, these findings establish predictive visual latents as a foundation for effective WAM learning from task-specific demonstrations and for transferring future-modeling knowledge acquired from broader in-the-wild videos.

Collision-Aware and Observation-Aligned Object-Centric Scene Reconstruction from Point Cloud
基于点云的碰撞感知与观察对齐的物体中心场景重建
Abstract
Object-centric scene reconstruction requires completing partial object observations while preserving metric alignment and avoiding collisions with the surrounding. Existing generation-based methods are often image-conditioned and suffer from scale ambiguity and insufficient geometric constraints. We propose COOL, a framework for COllision-aware and Observation-aLigned reconstruction. Based on an object generation model, COOL conditions the generation on instance and background point clouds. Instance geometry anchors generation in scene coordinates, while background geometry provides local context for scene-consistent completion. We further introduce an explicit collision loss and use joint optimization and resampling to reduce collisions during inference. Experiments on 3D-Front and Scan2CAD demonstrate strong scene-level fidelity, observation alignment, and collision reduction. Moreover, additional studies validate its robustness to mask errors and its applicability to real-world scene replicas.

Beyond Attention Imbalance: Mitigating Hallucinations via Spectral Surgery
超越注意力不平衡：通过谱手术减轻幻觉
Abstract
While Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) achieve remarkable success, hallucinations remain a significant barrier to their reliable deployment. Recent studies primarily attribute these issues to cross-modal attention imbalances; most solutions therefore focus on reweighting visual tokens or suppressing language priors. However, such approaches often overlook the spectral characteristics of the visual information flow and frequently rely on Contrastive Decoding (CD), which doubles inference time. Instead of following conventional approaches, we identify two distinct hallucination patterns-Perceptual-Semantic Dissociation and Localized Fixation-and propose FLASH (Frequency-Localized Attention SHaping), a training-free and CD-free framework. FLASH utilizes a Spectral Vortex Score to detect vision heads within multi-head attention layers and applies adaptive spectral modulation to rectify the visual information flow during decoding. Empirical results demonstrate that FLASH achieves a superior balance between performance and efficiency compared to SOTA methods.

尽管大型视觉-语言模型（LVLMs）取得了显著成功，但幻觉仍然是其可靠部署的重大障碍。近期研究主要将这些问题归因于跨模态注意力不平衡，因此大多数解决方案集中在重新加权视觉标记或抑制语言先验。然而，这些方法往往忽视了视觉信息流的谱特征，并且通常依赖于对比解码（Contrastive Decoding, CD），这使得推理时间加倍。我们没有遵循传统方法，而是识别出两种不同的幻觉模式——感知-语义分离和局部注视，并提出了FLASH（频率局部注意力塑形），这是一个无训练且无CD的框架。FLASH利用谱涡旋评分来检测多头注意力层中的视觉头，并在解码过程中应用自适应谱调制来纠正视觉信息流。实证结果表明，与最先进的方法相比，FLASH在性能和效率之间实现了更优的平衡。

UniAfford: Token-Routed Multitask Learning for Generalizable 2D-3D Affordance Perception
UniAfford：用于可推广的2D-3D可供性感知的令牌路由多任务学习
Abstract
Affordance perception aims to localize actionable regions supporting embodied interaction, yet 2D and 3D affordance grounding have evolved as separate problems, with different task definitions, supervision formats, datasets, and evaluation protocols. This fragmentation limits the learning of transferable object-affordance semantics across visual and geometric spaces. We propose Token Router for Tasks, a multitask training paradigm for MLLM-based systems that routes contextual hidden states to task-specific branches without requiring the language head to generate predefined markers. Routed states are supervised directly by branch-specific objectives, enabling dense prediction losses to shape shared MLLM representations. We instantiate this paradigm as UniAfford, a unified framework for generalizable 2D-3D affordance perception, together with UniAfford-Data, a dataset integrating pixel-level 2D annotations, point-level 3D annotations, and language instructions under a shared object-affordance taxonomy, supporting heterogeneous supervision through semantic-level 2D-3D pairing. UniAfford adopts an MLLM as a shared semantic hub and a modality-aware token router to produce image- and point-cloud-affordance queries. These queries respectively condition a SAM-style pixel decoder and a SONATA-based point decoder, enabling flexible 2D, 3D, and joint affordance inference from image-only, point-cloud-only, or paired multimodal inputs. Experiments demonstrate strong zero-shot generalization across 2D and 3D affordance benchmarks without target-specific fine-tuning, alongside state-of-the-art branch-wise performance under modality-isolated protocols. Ablations validate token routing, joint 2D-3D supervision, and decoder coupling, while language-head diagnostics show that routed latent states carry meaningful object-affordance semantics.

可供性感知旨在定位支持具身交互的可操作区域，但2D和3D可供性基础已演变为两个独立的问题，具有不同的任务定义、监督格式、数据集和评估协议。这种碎片化限制了在视觉和几何空间中可转移的物体-可供性语义的学习。我们提出了任务令牌路由器（Token Router for Tasks），这是一种基于MLLM（多模态大语言模型）系统的多任务训练范式，它将上下文隐藏状态路由到特定任务的分支，而无需语言头生成预定义标记。路由状态由分支特定目标直接监督，使得密集预测损失能够塑造共享的MLLM表示。我们将这一范式实例化为UniAfford，一个统一的可推广2D-3D可供性感知框架，以及UniAfford-Data，一个集成了像素级2D注释、点级3D注释和基于共享物体-可供性分类法的语言指令的数据集，支持通过语义级2D-3D配对进行异构监督。UniAfford采用MLLM作为共享语义中心，并使用感知模态的令牌路由器生成图像和点云的可供性查询。这些查询分别为SAM风格的像素解码器和基于SONATA的点解码器提供条件，使得可以从仅图像、仅点云或配对的多模态输入中灵活推断2D、3D和联合可供性。实验表明，在没有目标特定微调的情况下，2D和3D可供性基准测试中具有强大的零样本泛化能力，同时在模态隔离协议下实现了最先进的分支性能。消融实验验证了令牌路由、联合2D-3D监督和解码器耦合，而语言头诊断表明路由的潜在状态携带有意义的物体-可供性语义。项目页面：https://4dvlab.github.io/UniAfford

SAM Meets VLM: Parameter-Decoupled Full-Parameter Training for Unified Medical Reasoning and Segmentation
SAM与VLM相遇：用于统一医学推理和分割的参数解耦全参数训练
Abstract
Medical multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly expected not only to answer clinical questions, but also to localize the visual evidence behind their predictions. A common strategy connects a vision--language model (VLM) with SAM-style segmentation through a special token, yet full-parameter training of this unified architecture is difficult because image-level reasoning and pixel-level segmentation impose different requirements on the shared representation space. To address this issue, we propose a parameter-decoupled training framework for unified medical reasoning and segmentation. The framework treats the hidden state as a semantic-to-spatial prompt for the mask decoder and encourages it to become separable from generic language states, reducing ambiguous segmentation prompts and potential disruption to reasoning representations. It first performs medical shallow alignment to adapt visual features to clinical language without disturbing the LLM; then controlled instruction tuning shapes separable prompt states, monitored by the Davies--Bouldin Index (DBI), while scaling segmentation gradients entering the language backbone; finally, the SAM branch is specialized with the VLM frozen to improve mask precision without altering reasoning parameters. Experiments on medical referring segmentation, grounding, visual QA, and textual QA benchmarks show that our framework achieves strong language-conditioned segmentation while preserving competitive reasoning ability. Ablations show that two-phase instruction tuning, gradient scaling, and segmentation specialization all contribute to the model.

医学多模态大语言模型（MLLMs）越来越被期望不仅能够回答临床问题，还能够定位其预测背后的视觉证据。一种常见的策略是通过特殊的标记将视觉-语言模型（VLM）与SAM风格的分割相连接，但由于图像级推理和像素级分割对共享表示空间提出了不同的要求，因此这种统一架构的全参数训练变得困难。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种用于统一医学推理和分割的参数解耦训练框架。该框架将隐状态视为掩码解码器的语义到空间的提示，并鼓励其与通用语言状态分离，从而减少模糊的分割提示和对推理表示的潜在干扰。它首先执行医学浅层对齐，以在不干扰LLM的情况下将视觉特征适应于临床语言；然后，受控的指令调优塑造可分离的提示状态，通过Davies-Bouldin指数（DBI）进行监控，同时缩放进入语言主干的分割梯度；最后，SAM分支在冻结的VLM下进行专业化，以提高掩码精度而不改变推理参数。在医学参考分割、定位、视觉问答和文本问答基准上的实验表明，我们的框架在保持竞争性推理能力的同时，实现了强大的语言条件分割。消融实验表明，两阶段指令调优、梯度缩放和分割专业化均对模型的表现有所贡献。

VISTA-Bench: Benchmarking Multilingual Image Translation with Image-Specific Rubrics
VISTA-Bench：基于图像特定标准的多语言图像翻译基准测试
Abstract
Image translation is a fundamental capability of multimodal models for multilingual applications, requiring visual understanding and meaning preservation across languages. However, existing benchmarks have limited language coverage and often lack explicit image-specific evaluation criteria, making it difficult to comprehensively assess this capability. To systematically evaluate this capability, we introduce VISTA-Bench, covering 22 languages and 10 domains, and develop an image-specific rubric evaluation protocol. The benchmark combines sampling for language and scenario coverage with model-assisted, human-verified annotations that group related text into coherent semantic units and provide multilingual reference translations. The rubrics specify essential content, semantic relations, and acceptable translation variants, yielding separate output-based scores for translation quality and the preservation of visual and knowledge-dependent information. We conduct extensive evaluations of 16 mainstream models, including 12 multimodal models and four text-input models, and provide systematic analyses across languages, domains, and evaluation dimensions.

Why Cross-Skeleton Retargeting Is Non-Identifiable: Structural Limits of Generative Motion Models
跨骨架重定向为何是不可识别的：生成运动模型的结构限制
Abstract
Cross-skeleton motion generation trains generative models to carry action structure and motion intention from one body to another. Yet a target motion that shows the right action has two explanations that the training data cannot tell apart: the model transferred the source clip, or it recovered a typical motion for the requested action. We show that this ambiguity is structural rather than incidental: under standard generative objectives, the source-conditioned retargeting map is non-identifiable in sparse heterogeneous motion domains. Unpaired distribution matching yields gauge non-identifiability: the latent spaces of different skeletons can be transformed relative to one another without changing the training evidence, so different source-conditioned maps fit it equally well. Sparse paired supervision admits the complementary failure mode, \emph{conditional-mean degeneration}: when clips are paired only by action, squared-error training converges to an average target motion that ignores the source clip. To make the missing evidence observable, we introduce Source-Instance Fidelity (SIF), a diagnostic that tests whether outputs differ from one another the way their source clips do, with the target skeleton and action held fixed. Under this diagnostic, methods that succeed at the standard action-level test on animal motion data often sit at the source-blind floor, while the methods that rise above it retain only a partial relational signal. Retargeting therefore needs objectives and evaluations that can identify the source-conditioned map it claims to learn. Project page: https://cross-skeleton-retargeting.netlify.app/.

跨骨架运动生成训练生成模型，以将动作结构和运动意图从一个身体转移到另一个身体。然而，展示正确动作的目标运动有两种解释，而训练数据无法区分：模型转移了源片段，或者它恢复了请求动作的典型运动。我们表明，这种模糊性是结构性的，而非偶然的：在标准生成目标下，源条件重定向映射在稀疏异构运动领域中是不可识别的。未配对的分布匹配导致了量规不可识别性：不同骨架的潜在空间可以相对彼此进行变换，而不改变训练证据，因此不同的源条件映射同样适合该证据。稀疏配对监督允许了互补的失败模式，即 extit{条件均值退化}：当片段仅通过动作配对时，平方误差训练收敛到一个忽略源片段的平均目标运动。为了使缺失的证据可观察，我们引入了源实例保真度（Source-Instance Fidelity, SIF），该诊断测试输出是否以源片段的方式彼此不同，同时保持目标骨架和动作不变。在该诊断下，成功通过动物运动数据的标准动作级测试的方法往往处于源盲底线，而那些超越它的方法仅保留部分关系信号。因此，重定向需要能够识别其声称学习的源条件映射的目标和评估。项目页面：https://cross-skeleton-retargeting.netlify.app/

Technical note on: Zero-Training Feature-Space Alignment via Information Geometry
技术笔记：通过信息几何实现零训练特征空间对齐
Abstract
Deep vision models often degrade under distribution shift. Test-time adaptation can improve robustness but typically requires iterative optimization, hyperparameter tuning, and multiple forward-backward passes. We propose Zero-Training Fisher Geometry Alignment (ZFGA), a closed-form method that improves robustness under covariate shift without modifying model parameters. ZFGA is based on the observation that distribution shifts distort feature-space geometry. It estimates the Fisher information matrix of the predictive distribution with respect to feature embeddings and applies a linear transformation that aligns test-feature Fisher geometry with a reference geometry computed from clean data. This provides a natural-gradient-inspired preconditioning step in feature space. We evaluate ZFGA on CIFAR-10-C and ImageNet-C using ResNet-50, DINO ViT-S/16, and CLIP ViT-B/32. ZFGA consistently improves over zero-shot inference across all three models, although it is not the strongest method for every model. Covariance whitening performs better on ResNet-50, while Fisher whitening is statistically indistinguishable from ZFGA on CLIP. Across six training-free and gradient-based alternatives (covariance whitening, Fisher whitening, TENT, T3A, LAME, and AdaNPC), ZFGA is the only method that does not substantially harm any of the three model families. The Fisher geometry distortion is also positively correlated with ZFGA gain (Pearson r = 0.366, p = 0.017), providing preliminary evidence that geometric misalignment contributes to robustness degradation. ZFGA requires only forward passes and matrix operations at inference time, offering a lightweight and deterministic alternative to optimization-based test-time adaptation.

深度视觉模型在分布转移下往往会性能下降。测试时适应可以提高鲁棒性，但通常需要迭代优化、超参数调优和多次前向-反向传播。我们提出了零训练费舍尔几何对齐（Zero-Training Fisher Geometry Alignment, ZFGA），这是一种闭式方法，可以在不修改模型参数的情况下提高在协变量转移下的鲁棒性。ZFGA的基础是观察到分布转移会扭曲特征空间的几何结构。它估计与特征嵌入相关的预测分布的费舍尔信息矩阵，并应用线性变换，使测试特征的费舍尔几何与从干净数据计算的参考几何对齐。这为特征空间提供了一种受自然梯度启发的预处理步骤。我们在CIFAR-10-C和ImageNet-C上使用ResNet-50、DINO ViT-S/16和CLIP ViT-B/32评估ZFGA。ZFGA在所有三个模型上都始终优于零样本推理，尽管它并不是每个模型的最强方法。协方差白化在ResNet-50上表现更好，而费舍尔白化在CLIP上与ZFGA在统计上没有显著区别。在六种无训练和基于梯度的替代方法（协方差白化、费舍尔白化、TENT、T3A、LAME和AdaNPC）中，ZFGA是唯一一种不会对任何三种模型系列造成显著损害的方法。费舍尔几何的扭曲与ZFGA的增益呈正相关（Pearson r = 0.366, p = 0.017），提供了初步证据表明几何不对齐会导致鲁棒性下降。ZFGA在推理时仅需前向传播和矩阵运算，提供了一种轻量且确定性的替代方案，取代基于优化的测试时适应。

FLASH: A "Generate Once, Synthesize Many" Framework for Synthetic Anomaly Generation in Industrial Anomaly Detection
FLASH：一种用于工业异常检测的“生成一次，合成多次”的合成异常生成框架
Abstract
Synthetic anomaly generation helps expand industrial anomaly datasets when real defects are scarce or unavailable. Existing approaches lie at two extremes: procedural approaches are fast but struggle to represent complex anomalies, while generative approaches produce diverse defects but require costly per-sample generation. We present FLASH, a framework that decouples defect generation from anomaly synthesis under a ``generate once, synthesize many'' paradigm. Given only normal images, FLASH uses Vision-Language Model (VLM) guidance and an image-generation model to produce a small set of defect images, from which it extracts, validates, and banks reusable defect patches. For synthesis of anomalous images, Object Boundary Suppression (OBS) first identifies the probable foreground object-aware region of the host image, while Multi-Resolution Spectral Pyramid (MRSP) noise generates diverse, size-controllable masks that determine the defect location and spatial extent. It then composes a large and diverse synthetic anomalous image set by localizing the defect region, sampling size-controllable placement masks and seamlessly blending retrieved defects onto new defect-free images without further need for image generation. Experiments on the MVTec AD 2 dataset show that FLASH-generated anomalies nearly close the calibration gap on real defects, reaching 78.1% image-level F1 against an 83.6% real-anomaly upper bound and providing the most consistent calibration transfer across detectors among procedural and generative alternatives. Moreover, FLASH synthesizes anomalies more than 11.95x faster than per-sample generative approaches.

合成异常生成有助于在真实缺陷稀缺或不可用时扩展工业异常数据集。现有方法存在两个极端：程序化方法速度快，但难以表示复杂异常；而生成方法则能产生多样的缺陷，但每个样本的生成成本高。我们提出了FLASH，一个在“生成一次，合成多次”范式下，将缺陷生成与异常合成解耦的框架。仅使用正常图像，FLASH利用视觉-语言模型（Vision-Language Model, VLM）指导和图像生成模型生成一小组缺陷图像，从中提取、验证并储存可重用的缺陷补丁。对于异常图像的合成，物体边界抑制（Object Boundary Suppression, OBS）首先识别宿主图像中可能的前景物体感知区域，而多分辨率光谱金字塔（Multi-Resolution Spectral Pyramid, MRSP）噪声生成多样且可控大小的掩模，以确定缺陷的位置和空间范围。然后，通过定位缺陷区域、采样可控大小的放置掩模，并将检索到的缺陷无缝融合到新的无缺陷图像上，FLASH合成出一个大而多样的合成异常图像集，而无需进一步的图像生成。对MVTec AD 2数据集的实验表明，FLASH生成的异常几乎缩小了与真实缺陷的校准差距，达到了78.1%的图像级F1，接近83.6%的真实异常上限，并在程序化和生成替代方案中提供了最一致的校准转移。此外，FLASH的合成速度比每个样本的生成方法快超过11.95倍。

What Comes Next? Omni-StoryBench for Evaluating Story-Grounded Omnimodal Generation
接下来是什么？用于评估故事基础的全模态生成的 Omni-StoryBench
Abstract
Omnimodal evaluation should go beyond independent text, image, and speech production: individually plausible outputs may not express a coherent shared event. We introduce Omni-StoryBench, a story-grounded omnimodal benchmark evaluating whether models can coherently continue stories across image, narration, and speech. Each instance provides a current storybook page and structured next-page conditions, requiring models to generate the next illustration, narration, and spoken character utterance. Omni-StoryBench contains 900 rigorously validated story transitions from openly licensed children's books, with ground-truth next-page references and speech metadata. We evaluate systems with modality-specific metrics and consistency-centered LLM-as-a-judge rubrics for context preservation, condition following, reference consistency, and cross-modal coherence. Across 32 baseline configurations spanning orchestration, semi-orchestration, and native any-to-any paradigms, we find orchestration with strong VLM planning most reliable, while current native omnimodal models often struggle with output completeness and controllability. Our analysis shows text-side performance is associated with image and speech quality, but image generation and visual continuity form the clearest observed bottleneck among the evaluated configurations. These results position Omni-StoryBench as a system-level benchmark measuring coherent omnimodal generation beyond isolated modality quality.

The Domain Is a Residue: Adapting Self-Supervised Features, Not Generators
领域是残余：适应自监督特征，而非生成器
Abstract
Clearing fog, rain or snow from footage, or turning renders into photographs, must remove the source domain and keep the scene. Unpaired translators carry it through because their generator sees the source appearance (pixels, a near-invertible latent or a control map) and keeps it. A DINO feature map fixes what is in the scene and carries weather, lighting and rendering style as a residue of 13 to 14% of the feature norm. We propose the Representation Feature Adapter (RFA), a 2.9M-parameter network that moves this residue. We train only the adapter and its discriminators; the encoder and a feature-conditioned decoder, trained once for all conditions, stay frozen. Against CycleGAN-Turbo it is ahead on both metrics on fog and on KID on night, and level within noise on snow, rain and haze. On sim-to-real it leads REGEN and HyPER-GAN on both metrics. Only the RFA removes the rain while keeping the scene. The removal costs scene structure: CycleGAN-Turbo keeps more on every condition but fog. On VAE latents the identical adapter collapses to the identity, and decoders from other groups that never saw it render its output. The RFA has about 160 times fewer trainable parameters than CycleGAN-Turbo and under a fifth of its per-condition training time.

OFBD: Object-Focused Background Debiasing for Long-Tailed Learning
OFBD：面向对象的背景去偏差用于长尾学习
Abstract
Balancing performance trade-offs on long-tailed data distributions remains a long-standing challenge in visual recognition. Existing methods mainly improve tail classes through re-balancing, representation learning, or data augmentation, but the underlying cause of tail class degradation is still insufficiently explored. In this paper, we find that standard long-tailed training induces background-biased representation and optimization: tail classes suffer larger background distribution shifts and become increasingly driven by background gradients. This reveals that tail degradation is not merely caused by insufficient samples, but also by the learning of irrelevant background features. To tackle this issue, we propose Object-Focused Background Debiasing (OFBD), a framework that mitigates background bias from both distribution and optimization perspectives. Specifically, Foreground-guided CutMix preserves target-related foregrounds while diversifying complementary backgrounds, and Background-guided Feature Rectification suppresses background-biased features without learnable parameters or additional training. Extensive experiments show that our method improves overall accuracy, achieves significant tail-class gains, and can serve as a plug-in for mainstream long-tailed methods without external data or pretrained recognition models.

在长尾数据分布上平衡性能权衡仍然是视觉识别中的一个长期挑战。现有方法主要通过重平衡、表征学习或数据增强来改善尾类，但尾类退化的根本原因仍然未得到充分探讨。本文发现，标准的长尾训练会引发背景偏倚的表征和优化：尾类受到更大的背景分布变化影响，并越来越受到背景梯度的驱动。这揭示了尾类退化不仅仅是由于样本不足，还与无关背景特征的学习有关。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了面向对象的背景去偏差（Object-Focused Background Debiasing, OFBD），这是一个从分布和优化两个角度减轻背景偏倚的框架。具体而言，前景引导的CutMix保留与目标相关的前景，同时多样化互补背景，而背景引导的特征校正则在没有可学习参数或额外训练的情况下抑制背景偏倚特征。大量实验表明，我们的方法提高了整体准确性，实现了显著的尾类增益，并且可以作为主流长尾方法的插件，无需外部数据或预训练的识别模型。代码可在以下网址获取：https://ofbd-neurips2026-longtail-learning.github.io/

UGO: Unified Architecture for General Multi-Object Tracking by Segmentation
UGO：通过分割实现通用多目标跟踪的统一架构
Abstract
General multi-object tracking (GMOT) tracks all instances of a user-specified category from a single first-frame exemplar. Prior work relies on bounding boxes and surrogate training, and struggles with non-rigid objects, crowded scenes, and distractors. We introduce UGO, a unified GMOT tracker that pairs a pretrained exemplar-conditioned detection head with an instance-propagation head in a common architecture. A novel training-free, energy-minimization consolidation method converts overlapping proposals into exclusive pixel-wise masks and detections, resolving over-segmentation, duplicates, and conflicts. A hierarchical memory spanning global and instance levels improves recall and per-instance segmentation accuracy using a new memory management protocol. UGO sets a new state-of-the-art on GMOT benchmarks and video object counting, and is competitive with specialist MOT methods, establishing a strong paradigm for unified, open-category multi-object tracking.

HyperSAM: A Promptable Foundation Model for Hyperspectral Remote Sensing
HyperSAM：一种可提示的高光谱遥感基础模型
Abstract
Hyperspectral remote sensing provides dense spectral measurements that are indispensable for material-level Earth observation, yet the construction of a general-purpose hyperspectral foundation model remains difficult. Two bottlenecks are especially limiting. First, large hyperspectral corpora rarely provide high spatial resolution together with reliable dense annotations. Second, many hyperspectral models are still trained almost from scratch, so the geometric and interactive priors learned by modern vision foundation models are not fully reused. To alleviate these issues, we \highlight{present} \textbf{HyperSAM}, a promptable hyperspectral foundation model that couples a data-centric hyperspectral synthesis pipeline with a spectral adaptation architecture based on Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM3). On the data side, HyperSAM synthesizes full-spectrum hyperspectral cubes from high-resolution SpaceNet multispectral imagery through a physics-informed abundance-transfer generator, while SAM3-derived pseudo-masks provide object-centric supervision. On the model side, the latest implementation uses a frozen SAM3 RGB image branch, a trainable hyperspectral side encoder initialized from the RGB vision transformer (ViT), ControlNet-style zero-initialized feature injection, and a lightweight mixture-of-experts mask refiner. To enhance training robustness against noisy pseudo-labels, Cross-modal Sample Selection (CromSS)-style confidence selection is incorporated for noisy-label weighting. Extensive experiments show that HyperSAM obtains strong generalization on diverse hyperspectral tasks (e.g., classification, anomaly detection, change detection, target detection, and airborne oil-spill mapping) and that high-quality synthetic hyperspectral data can be more effective than simply scaling noisy hyperspectral supervision.

When to Retrieve, When to Stay: Uncertainty-Aware Temporal Evidence Allocation for Streaming Video-LLMs
何时检索，何时停留：基于不确定性的时间证据分配用于流媒体视频-大语言模型
Abstract
Streaming video understanding requires Video Large Language Models (Video-LLMs) to reason over continuous visual streams under causal constraints. As the visual history grows, a bounded visual?processing budget requires evidence selection that balances temporal recency with query relevance. Recent-only selection excludes potentially relevant historical evidence, whereas Semantic-only retrieval can displace useful recent context when relevance scores are ambiguous. We introduce WRWS (When to Retrieve, When to Stay), a training-free framework for uncertainty-adaptive evidence allocation. A lightweight external vision-language encoder scores query relevance across the observed history, while an adaptive allocation module uses the normalized entropy of the similarity distribution as a proxy for retrieval uncertainty. WRWS favors semantic retrieval when relevance cues are reliable and strengthens the recency prior under uncertainty. Following a retrieve-first, encode-later pipeline, WRWS selects evidence before target-model visual encoding, such that only the selected observations are processed by the costly target Video-LLM. Experiments across four Video-LLM families and multiple model scales demonstrate competitive accuracy on StreamingBench and OVO-Bench. In our efficiency evaluation, WRWS reduces average vision-to-answer time to 47.93% of the state-of-the-art method. Code will be released.

流媒体视频理解要求视频大语言模型（Video-LLMs）在因果约束下对连续视觉流进行推理。随着视觉历史的增长，有限的视觉处理预算要求在时间的近期性与查询的相关性之间进行证据选择。仅选择最近的证据会排除潜在的相关历史证据，而仅基于语义的检索在相关性评分模糊时可能会取代有用的近期上下文。我们提出了WRWS（何时检索，何时停留），这是一个无训练的框架，用于不确定性自适应证据分配。一个轻量级的外部视觉-语言编码器在观察到的历史中为查询相关性打分，而自适应分配模块使用相似性分布的归一化熵作为检索不确定性的代理。WRWS在相关性线索可靠时偏向于语义检索，并在不确定性下增强近期性先验。按照先检索后编码的流程，WRWS在目标模型视觉编码之前选择证据，从而只有所选的观察结果被成本高昂的目标视频-大语言模型处理。在四个Video-LLM家族和多个模型规模的实验中，WRWS在StreamingBench和OVO-Bench上展示了竞争力的准确性。在我们的效率评估中，WRWS将平均视觉到答案的时间减少到最先进方法的47.93%。代码将会发布。

TAEC: Trajectory-Aware Evidence Coordination for Multi-Step Visual RAG
TAEC：面向轨迹的多步骤视觉检索增强生成证据协调
Abstract
Multi-step visual retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) answers complex questions by repeatedly retrieving visual evidence, updating an intermediate state, and deciding whether to continue searching or answer. Yet retrieving relevant evidence does not ensure its effective use throughout the reasoning trajectory. As multi-step reasoning progresses, redundant sources occupy context capacity needed for missing evidence, observations tied to resolved requirements or unproductive searches linger in context, and visual sources are revisited with insufficient detail for fine-grained reading. We term this loss of usable evidence over a reasoning trajectory trajectory-level evidence utilization degradation. To address it, we propose Trajectory-Aware Evidence Coordination (TAEC), a training-free framework that coordinates evidence use around unresolved answer requirements. TAEC tracks these requirements in a shared trajectory state to guide which evidence enters the context, how accumulated memory is retained, and at what level of detail visual evidence is examined. Under a unified evaluation protocol on ViDoSeek, SlideVQA, and MMLongBench-Doc, TAEC achieves the best overall performance against leading training-free visual RAG baselines, with the highest average accuracy across multiple proprietary vision-language models. These results demonstrate that aligning evidence with evolving reasoning needs improves evidence use throughout multi-step visual RAG.

多步骤视觉检索增强生成（RAG）通过反复检索视觉证据、更新中间状态并决定是否继续搜索或回答来解决复杂问题。然而，检索相关证据并不确保其在整个推理轨迹中的有效使用。随着多步骤推理的进行，冗余来源占用了缺失证据所需的上下文容量，与已解决需求相关的观察或无效搜索在上下文中滞留，而视觉来源则以不足的细节被重新审视。我们将这种在推理轨迹上可用证据的损失称为轨迹级证据利用退化。为了解决这一问题，我们提出了面向轨迹的证据协调（TAEC），这是一个无训练的框架，围绕未解决的答案需求协调证据的使用。TAEC在共享的轨迹状态中跟踪这些需求，以指导哪些证据进入上下文、如何保留累积的记忆以及以何种细节水平审查视觉证据。在ViDoSeek、SlideVQA和MMLongBench-Doc的统一评估协议下，TAEC在领先的无训练视觉RAG基准中实现了最佳整体性能，并在多个专有视觉-语言模型中获得了最高的平均准确率。这些结果表明，将证据与不断变化的推理需求对齐可以改善多步骤视觉RAG中的证据使用。

PCaPaint: Prostate Cancer Inpainting by Mitigating Shortcut Learning
PCaPaint：通过减轻快捷学习实现前列腺癌图像修复
Abstract
The development of AI systems for tumor-specific applications is limited by the scarcity of labeled data. Synthetic tumor inpainting offers a promising approach but faces challenges for prostate cancer MRI which contains high-resolution multi-sequence data. Although methods leveraging latent diffusion models (LDMs) enable large-volume synthesis, they are prone to shortcut learning, simply reproducing the condition image created by masking the lesion region. In this work, we introduce PCaPaint, a prostate cancer inpainting method based on LDMs that explicitly addresses this failure mode. To overcome shortcut learning that compromises synthetic tumor texture, we propose a simple yet efficient conditioning strategy in which the condition image is filled with Gaussian noise, and we provide theoretical justification. In addition, we propose a novel training objective for LDM that emphasizes the error within the lesion region. Furthermore, we introduce a multi-sequence latent design, in which T2w scans and DWI&ADC scans are compressed using two separate autoencoders to preserve their distinct frequency characteristics. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the generated synthetic data improves downstream performance in prostate lesion segmentation, patient-level classification and lesion-level detection. Furthermore, our method significantly outperforms a recent state-of-the-art LDM-based tumor inpainting method both in downstream performance and in synthetic image quality.

Visual Anomaly Synthesis for Model Selection in Data Scarcity
数据稀缺下的视觉异常合成用于模型选择
Abstract
Defect detection systems for industrial condition monitoring can only be relied upon if they are validated, yet defective samples are rare and, for a specific asset, often nonexistent. We present a framework that synthesizes severity-graded defects on real non-defective images without any defect references for the target asset, that can be used for model selection and validation. A defect taxonomy for common failure modes is distilled from literature into prescriptive prompts at varying defect severities. Regions of interest are cropped from in defect-free images and edited with a pre-trained image generation model ("FLUX.2 [klein]"). Color-matching and blending are employed to improve structural coherence with the original image. Generations are filtered out by a scorer and by estimated detection difficulty. Model selection experiments on MVTecAD show image AUROC choice regret over model selection can be nearly halved compared to the best fixed model chosen with access to test data. Experiments show the need for severity-graded anomaly synthesis. A case study investigates the proposed method for in-situ monitoring of Pelton turbine runners in hydropower, where real defect images are rare and expensive to collect. A PatchCorebased anomaly detection model is fit on Pelton turbine images and selected and validated using synthetic images, showing strong detection performance (94 % correct detection at optimal threshold and AUROC 0.97). The model reliably detects moderate and advanced defects, while early-stage defects remain challenging, indicating the synthetic data meaningfully stresses detector sensitivity.

Think Before You Score: Thinking Reward Model for Visual Generation
思考再评分：用于视觉生成的思维奖励模型
Abstract
Visual reward models are essential for evaluating and improving visual generation models, yet existing approaches typically map task conditions and candidate outputs directly to scalar rewards, leaving implicit what should be evaluated for each individual case. We introduce Think Before You Score, a paradigm that explicitly determines what matters for each case before judging how well the candidate performs. Following this principle, we propose the Thinking Reward Model (TRM), which formulates case-adaptive rubrics, performs rubric-guided assessment, and produces fine-grained pointwise rewards. We further observe that conventional pairwise preference optimization can induce score polarization, and introduce Pairwise Dual-Group Relative Policy Optimization (PD-GRPO), which leverages pairwise supervision to improve reward discrimination while preserving fine-grained pointwise scoring. Extensive experiments on image generation and editing reward-modeling benchmarks demonstrate that TRM achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source reward models while remaining highly competitive with proprietary alternatives. Moreover, using TRM as a reward for reinforcement learning consistently improves diverse visual generation models, demonstrating that its fine-grained, case-adaptive rewards translate into effective optimization signals for visual generation.

MG-Thinker: Bi-Axial Self-Reflection for Multi-Image Reasoning Grounding
MG-Thinker：用于多图像推理基础的双轴自我反思
Abstract
Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently delivered substantial gains in multimodal reasoning, opening a promising route for fine-grained visual perception. Yet for multi-image reasoning grounding (MRG), reasoning over real-world multi-image contexts toward pixel-precise localization, existing RL-based approaches overlook two characteristics intrinsic to this paradigm: a coarse-to-fine hierarchical reasoning pattern, and heterogeneously distributed task--sample difficulties. In this work, we present MG-Thinker, a post-training RL framework that advances a new MRG paradigm featuring such hierarchical reasoning, supported by a curated 25K MRG dataset with task-adaptive Chain-of-Thought (CoT) annotations that elicit multi-perspective evidence before conclusion. To remedy the heterogeneous task--sample difficulties, we further propose Bi-Axial DAPO (BiA-DAPO), which decomposes rollout advantages along an intra-group signal axis and an inter-group competence axis through two complementary mechanisms, both grounded on our defined candidate pool for stable group-level statistics. Extensive experiments show that MG-Thinker achieves state-of-the-art performance on multi-image reasoning grounding while consistently improving generalization across multi-image understanding and diverse multimodal benchmarks.

Do-JEPA: From Masking to Intervention in Latent World Models
Do-JEPA：从遮蔽到干预的潜在世界模型
Abstract
Latent world models are trained to predict what happens next, so nothing in their objective separates what an action caused from what merely co-occurred with it. Object-masking models such as C-JEPA intervene on what the predictor can see; we intervene on what physically happens. From one saved simulator state we run the dynamics under an action $a$ and under a reference action $a_{\varnothing}$, and train the model to predict the difference $\Delta z=z^{a}-z^{a_{\varnothing}}$ between the two latent futures. The resulting objective, Do-JEPA, has an effect loss, a support loss (where the action enters), a propagation loss (where its effect travels) and invariance losses (what must not change). In a synthetic system with object-aligned variables, support supervision finds the directly intervened object in 99.95% of test cases, where a sparse action mask sends the action to a nuisance slot in every case, and response-onset supervision recovers the ring-shaped propagation graph (edge AUROC 0.975 vs. 0.624). From pixels, the effect loss beats a control trained on exactly the same data: it lowers latent effect error by 28.4% on an end-to-end LeWM model and physical effect error by 13.5% when trained and tested on natural action sequences, and on three independently generated CausalWorld benchmarks it lowers responsive effect error by about 20% under physics shifts and the latent context sensitivity of predicted effects by 66%. Trained from scratch it costs factual accuracy; fine-tuning an existing model with it removes this cost. Together, these results show that intervening on the world, rather than on what the model sees, helps latent world models predict what their actions cause.

Anatomy-Aware Prediction of Bronchoscopic Accessibility from 3D CT
基于解剖知识的支气管镜可及性预测：来自三维CT的研究
Abstract
Pre-operative planning for bronchoscopy is critical for the diagnosis of lung lesions. Current accessibility assessment relies on subjective manual inspection of CT scans, which is time-consuming and prone to inter-observer variability. In this paper, we formalize bronchoscopy accessibility prediction as a novel supervised learning task and present the first end-to-end framework to address it. We propose an Anatomy-Aware Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model that integrates specialized modules: a CT Expert for local morphological features, a Lobe Expert for anatomical priors, and a Path Geometry Expert that encodes the sequential constraints of the bronchial tree. To support this task, we curated the first clinical dataset of 438 cases with pre-operative CT scans and documented procedural outcomes. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves an AUROC of 0.8052, significantly outperforming both state-of-the-art baselines and experienced human experts. This work establishes a new benchmark for computer-aided interventional planning in pulmonary medicine. Our data and code will be publicly available at https://nubagcilab.github.io/BronchoAccess/.

Multi-task learning for the automatic grading of enlarged perivascular space burden using MRI
基于多任务学习的MRI扩大的血管周围空间负担自动评分
Abstract
Enlarged perivascular spaces (PVS) visible in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are increasingly thought to be linked to poor brain health. PVS are elongated structures of less than 3 mm in diameter and can be numerous. To reflect the incidence of PVS, radiologists visually score their burden following a clinical grading scale - a task that would benefit from automation to accelerate analyses and overcome the influence of inter-observer differences. We developed and evaluated methods for training machine learning models to score PVS incidence in the basal ganglia (BG) and centrum semiovale (CSO) leveraging the Potters/Wardlaw scale. The novelty in our work lies in the use of imperfect, semi-automatically generated "silver-standard" PVS segmentation masks during training, in addition to PVS radiological scores. We comparatively evaluated a conditional convolutional neural network (CNN) which accepts PVS masks as an extra input channel, a multi-task CNN which performs both PVS segmentation and scoring, and a logistic regression model which utilises features derived from PVS masks to predict PVS scores. Multi-task learning was the most effective method, achieving a mean average precision of 64.08% compared to 60.22% for the conditional CNN, 52.11% for a baseline CNN trained only to predict PVS scores, and 49.32% for the logistic regression model. The multi-task model showed an ability to localise individual PVS not shown by the other CNNs, and behaved in a probabilistically sensible way, predicting with lower confidence on inherently harder classes. Age, sex, hypertension status, white matter hyperintensity volume, and ischaemic stroke lesion status were shown to be associated with the multi-task model's PVS score predictions and the ground truth in a similar way.

BeatDance: Generating Beat-Consistent 3D Dance with Hierarchical Spatial-Temporal Modeling
BeatDance：基于层次空间-时间建模生成节拍一致的3D舞蹈
Abstract
Generating realistic 3D dance from music is a challenging task that requires accurate synchronization with musical rhythms while capturing the spatial complexity of human motion. Although existing methods can generate physically plausible dance motions, they often struggle to achieve precise alignment with music, such as the beat. To address this limitation, we propose a novel diffusion-based framework, BeatDance, with two components: 1) We present a Hierarchical Decoupled Attention (HDA) module, which first disentangles the learning of human pose and temporal dynamics. A hierarchical structure is then employed to capture both short-term and long-term dependencies, thereby enhancing spatial-temporal modeling. 2) We adopt cycle-consistent learning by introducing an auxiliary dance-to-music module. During training, discrepancies between the reconstructed and original music induce a stronger loss signal, effectively encouraging the consistency property between the music and dance motion. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms recent competitive methods on two benchmark datasets.

Complementary Retrieval-Augmented Prompting for Consistent Long-Form Video Generation
互补检索增强提示用于一致的长视频生成
Abstract
While recent video foundation models excel at generating high-quality short videos, long-form video generation remains a critical challenge, where a major bottleneck lies in conditioning independently generated shots to preserve consistent characters, scenes, and objects throughout a story. Existing training-free approaches typically condition target shots using retrieved historical visuals. However, these references often suffer from severe informational mismatch, either introducing irrelevant contextual redundancy or failing to provide the full combination of required elements for the target shot. To resolve this, we present Complementary Retrieval-Augmented Prompting, an agentic framework that strategically aggregates a compact set of mutually supportive historical references to achieve complete and targeted conditioning for long-form video generation without retraining or modifying the underlying generator. Specifically, our framework explicitly models the visual elements required by each target shot by parsing the narrative script into a text-grounded visual element registry that tracks characters, objects, scenes, and their shot-level states. A VLM-annotated keyframe library further maps these elements to past visual observations. Guided by the required elements, our agent retrieves complementary references that maximize target-element coverage while minimizing historical noise. Finally, the retrieved references, structured element states, and grounding instructions are assembled into a unified prompt for the frozen video generator. This element-aware process provides comprehensive conditioning while remaining fully interpretable. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations on multi-shot story generation demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms recent-frame, memory-based, and entity-level retrieval baselines in cross-shot consistency and text-controllability.

LazySloth: Bounded LLM-based Lazy Tree Search for Fast Long Video Comprehension
LazySloth：基于有限LLM的懒惰树搜索用于快速长视频理解
Abstract
Modern vision-language models (VLMs) have shown promising results in long-video understanding due to the rich semantic information they can capture. However, most methods focus on coarse captioning of extracted image frames that are computationally inefficient and require models with large context windows. While past work has explored efficient methods through multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), they rely on lossy embeddings that lose temporal context and fine-grained detail. Few works to date have investigated how VLM-based query-relevant information retrieval can be optimized. We introduce LazySloth, an efficient tree-based search method that speeds up video comprehension and retrieval tasks 2.9-8.3x (compared to existing agentic methods) through bounded captioning of portions of the video considered irrelevant by a VLM of the video. Compared to contemporary specialized video-understanding VLMs and RAG-based methods, LazySloth achieved similar or better final task accuracy across two recent open-source base VLMs--Gemma 4 31B and Qwen3.6 27B--across four benchmarks. LazySloth reduced the gap between the base open-source model and a closed-source model, GPT-4o. Ablations showed that replacing VLM scene understanding with CLIP-based retrieval cost 8.8-19.9% in accuracy, while lazy tree construction matches eager construction at a fraction of the captioning cost. With LazySloth, we demonstrate the possibility of faster long-video comprehension without substantial loss in performance.

Event-Only Wingbeat Counting under Camera Motion: A Controlled MuJoCo Benchmark
仅基于事件的翼拍计数在相机运动下的表现：一个受控的MuJoCo基准测试
Abstract
Counting completed wingbeats requires identifying individual cycles, including during frequency changes and pauses; estimating a dominant frequency alone is insufficient. Camera motion further mixes target and background brightness changes in event observations. We present a controlled MuJoCo benchmark that separates motion training from event-only image translation compensation. The acquisition contains 324 streams from 24 independent scenes, three flapping geometries, two distances (1.5 and 3.0 m), and static, moderate-motion and stronger-motion views. Fifteen scenes are used for fitting, three for validation and six for held-out testing. A fixed causal temporal convolutional network is evaluated in a matched 2 x 2 ablation with three initialization seeds and compared with ridge, Fourier, autocorrelation and an adapted EEPPR baseline. Under moderate motion, paired motion training reduces count mean absolute error from 31.130 to 3.185 cycles at 1.5 m and from 42.019 to 5.444 at 3.0 m. Adding the tested compensation increases these errors to 4.630 and 10.185, respectively. A Fourier baseline achieves 0.944 cycles at 1.5 m under moderate motion, showing that the neural model is not uniformly best. We report exact-count accuracy and temporally matched cycle F1 alongside count error. These findings support motion-aware training in this small synthetic benchmark, while exposing limits of simple event-background stabilization.

Label Less, Learn More: Resource-Efficient Active Semi-Supervised Learning for Onboard Satellite Image Annotation
少标注，多学习：资源高效的主动半监督学习用于卫星图像标注
Abstract
Large-scale pervasive sensing increasingly relies on high-resolution satellite imagery, yet task-specific onboard vision is constrained by costly annotation and limited computation, memory, energy, and communication resources. Existing approaches largely rely on either data-hungry supervised learning or large vision-language foundation models, limiting efficient adaptation and deployment under these constraints. We present SatLabel, a resource-aware learning framework that transforms limited satellite labels into progressively refined onboard models through adaptive sample acquisition and semi-supervised model adaptation. Rather than repeatedly training on uniformly sampled labels, SatLabel closes the loop between model uncertainty, class imbalance, and pseudo-label quality to selectively acquire informative samples while exploiting abundant unlabeled imagery. This enables a compact student to adapt to target sensing domains with reduced annotation and inference costs. We further introduce an optional Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) student with graph-based feature refinement to enhance representation capacity while retaining a lightweight footprint. We evaluate SatLabel on 11 remote-sensing datasets spanning core, extended, and unseen domains against RemoteCLIP zero-shot inference. SatLabel improves Macro-F1 on most core and extended datasets while maintaining strong cross-dataset transfer to unseen domains. More importantly, the Balanced student contains only 11.2 M parameters and occupies approximately 42.8 MB, compared with 151.3M parameters and 577 MB for RemoteCLIP, while requiring 3.65 versus 5.89 GFLOPs. Across four efficiency benchmarks, it achieves approximately 2x higher GPU-forward throughput and reduces energy per image on datasets.

大规模普遍感知日益依赖于高分辨率卫星图像，但特定任务的机载视觉受到昂贵标注以及计算、内存、能量和通信资源的限制。现有方法主要依赖于数据需求量大的监督学习或大型视觉-语言基础模型，这限制了在这些约束条件下的高效适应和部署。我们提出了SatLabel，一个资源感知的学习框架，通过自适应样本获取和半监督模型适应，将有限的卫星标签转化为逐步精炼的机载模型。SatLabel并不是反复在均匀采样的标签上进行训练，而是通过在模型不确定性、类别不平衡和伪标签质量之间闭合循环，选择性地获取信息丰富的样本，同时利用大量未标记的图像。这使得一个紧凑的学生模型能够以更低的标注和推理成本适应目标感知领域。我们进一步引入了一个可选的混合专家（Mixture-of-Experts, MoE）学生模型，结合基于图的特征精炼，以增强表示能力，同时保持轻量级的特征。我们在11个遥感数据集上评估了SatLabel，这些数据集涵盖了核心、扩展和未见领域，并与RemoteCLIP的零-shot推理进行了对比。SatLabel在大多数核心和扩展数据集上提高了Macro-F1，同时保持了对未见领域的强跨数据集迁移。更重要的是，平衡学生模型仅包含11.2M参数，约占42.8MB，而RemoteCLIP则有151.3M参数和577MB，所需的计算量分别为3.65和5.89 GFLOPs。在四个效率基准测试中，SatLabel实现了约2倍的GPU前向吞吐量，并减少了每张图像的能耗。

PoE-Fuse: Precision-Weighted Expert Fusion for Bi-Temporal Change Understanding
PoE-Fuse：用于双时态变化理解的精度加权专家融合
Abstract
Bi-temporal change understanding, which localizes and characterizes what changed between two satellite images, is central to disaster response and environmental monitoring, spanning change detection, building localization, and damage assessment. Strong vision-language models address these tasks, but adapting them typically requires full fine-tuning or reinforcement learning, which is costly and unstable. We propose PoE-Fuse, a parameter-efficient framework that instead composes frozen foundation experts for geometry, grounding, and language, resampling their features onto a shared spatial grid and training only a lightweight fusion trunk. PoE-Fuse treats the aligned features as Gaussian observations of a latent scene state and fuses them by learned per-cell precision. This product-of-experts estimator strictly generalizes uniform summation and scalar gating, and extends to change fields by composing the precisions of the two timestamps. A single shared trunk solves the three tasks at once, reaching a mean F1 of 59.2%, compared with 40.7% for an instruction-tuned temporal vision-language assistant, and surpassing dedicated change-detection models retrained under the same protocol and training budget.

Physics-Guided Flow-Map Matching for Precipitation Nowcasting
基于物理引导的降水短期预报流场匹配
Abstract
Precipitation nowcasting, generating future radar fields from past observations, is critical for flood warning and disaster response. It is also a demanding benchmark for spatiotemporal generative modeling, with chaotic dynamics, heavy-tailed intensities, and rare high-intensity structures that matter most. Deterministic models minimize a pixel loss and are driven toward the conditional mean, which blurs exactly those structures, while generative models that add a stochastic residual on top of a deterministic backbone inherit the same blur. We propose Physics-Guided Flow-Map Matching (PG-FMM), a conditional flow-map model that decouples predictable advection from uncertain small-scale detail. A frozen Lagrangian advection prior transports the radar field and supplies an explicit motion forecast, and a flow-map generative head, conditioned on the past frames and the prior rollout rather than summed onto it, produces sharp stochastic detail in four sampling steps. The prior serves only as guidance, so the head replaces blurred structure instead of inheriting it. Extensive experiments on four radar benchmarks show that PG-FMM outperforms state-of-the-art methods on 18 of 24 metrics, with the largest gains at heavy-rain thresholds, where the critical success index improves by up to 58.9%.

FORUM: Frozen Outputs Reconciled Using Model Agreement for Visual Grounding
FORUM：基于模型一致性的冷冻输出用于视觉定位
Abstract
Frozen multimodal large language models (MLLMs) now solve standard referring expression comprehension with a single prompted call, yet on adversarial benchmarks with same-category distractors and negation, even the largest models are confidently wrong, and resampling repeats the error. Models built from different data and architectures rarely fall for the same confounder, so their agreement is a strong label-free signal of the correct target. We present FORUM, a training-free test-time fusion of frozen MLLMs guided by two fixed geometric rules: agreement-based selection keeps the region supported by the most distinct models, and medoid localization returns an actual member box instead of a coordinate average, so one loose prediction cannot shift the answer. Fusing three open MLLMs, FORUM surpasses the 397B-parameter published reference by a relative 5% in mean accuracy on the adversarial Ref-Adv-s benchmark, and a plain averaging ensemble by 15%. The gains transfer to standard RefCOCO+, and a balanced lineup with no dominant member still surpasses the 397B model by 5%.

Attention-Scoped Guidance: Training-Free Spatial Control for Image Editing
注意力范围引导：无训练的图像编辑空间控制
Abstract
Instruction-guided image editing should change what the instruction names and leave the rest of the image untouched. In dual classifier-free guidance (CFG), an editor combines two directions at every denoising step, one that pushes toward the instructed edit and one that pulls back toward the source image, using global weights. We introduce Attention-Scoped Guidance (ASG), a sampler wrapper that makes these weights spatial. It reads a soft support map from the instruction attention that the editor already computes, then weakens text guidance where support is low and strengthens image anchoring where support is high. The wrapper requires no training, no external mask, and no additional network evaluation. On the full MagicBrush and PIE-Bench++ splits, ASG improves preservation-oriented metrics, leading three of four MagicBrush metrics and PIE-Bench++ background PSNR. A dose-matched control that removes the spatial placement loses up to 0.73 CLIP on PIE-Bench++, confirming that the spatial allocation itself carries the gain.

MotionMaestro: Masked Tokenization for Unified Motion Generation
MotionMaestro：用于统一运动生成的掩码标记化
Abstract
Human motion generation plays an important role in applications such as character animation, virtual environments, and embodied interaction. While existing approaches have achieved remarkable progress, many of them are developed for individual tasks, including text-to-motion, pose-conditioned generation, and trajectory control. Although these tasks involve different types of conditions, a unified framework capable of handling them within a common representation would greatly simplify motion generation systems. We observe that diverse motion conditions can be naturally formulated as different observation patterns over motion sequences, where each task corresponds to a specific masking strategy. Based on this insight, we introduce MotionMaestro, a unified motion generation framework that learns a shared representation for complete motions and heterogeneous partial observations through masked motion tokenization. MotionMaestro employs a three-stage training strategy that first learns a masked motion tokenizer, then refines its reconstruction ability on clean motions, and finally trains a conditional flow-matching generator in the learned latent space. Furthermore, we introduce an observation map and an observation loss to explicitly preserve provided motion conditions during generation. With this unified representation and conditioning mechanism, MotionMaestro supports text-guided and unconditional synthesis, pose conditioning and partial completion, temporal interpolation, trajectory control, and motion continuation. Experiments on the large-scale RoMo and MotionMillion datasets show state-of-the-art performance across diverse motion generation tasks.

GeoSET: Generalist Foundation Model for SAR-to-EO Image Translation
GeoSET：用于SAR到EO图像翻译的通用基础模型
Abstract
Paired synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and electro-optical (EO) imagery is increasingly available across sensors, resolutions, and geographic regions. Yet existing SAR-to-EO image translation (SET) methods are typically trained on a single, limited-scale dataset, producing models specialized to particular sensing conditions. We introduce GeoSET, the first generalist model for SET, built around a single pretrained parent that is adapted to downstream datasets under a common protocol. We curate over 3 million high-quality SAR--EO pairs from a collection of more than 10 million SAR observations, spanning diverse sensors, spatial resolutions, and ground sampling distances. To bridge the modality gap between SAR observations and a pretrained image generator, we develop a speckle-robust SAR encoder and pretrain the conditional generator on this heterogeneous corpus. The resulting parent supports efficient adaptation across downstream datasets through low-rank adaptation (LoRA), updating only 0.60% of the generator parameters and requiring approximately one hour per dataset. Across six downstream benchmarks, GeoSET achieves state-of-the-art results in FID and DISTS with full fine-tuning or LoRA, demonstrating effective transfer across heterogeneous SAR-EO domains.

Principled MAP estimation for inverse problems: bridging the gap between convergence and performance
针对逆问题的原则性最大后验估计：弥合收敛性与性能之间的差距
Abstract
Pretrained denoisers provide a powerful way to incorporate image priors into restoration algorithms. Plug-and-Play and RED approaches exploit fixed-noise-level denoisers within first-order optimization schemes, with convergence guarantees, but often struggle to achieve high-quality reconstruction on severely ill-posed inverse problems. In contrast, recent state-of-the-art approaches leverage denoisers derived from flow- or diffusion-based generative models and evaluate them along a sequence of decreasing noise levels. While these methods achieve strong empirical performance, their convergence theory remains limited. In this paper, we bridge this gap by specifically designing an algorithm that combines denoisers at decreasing noise levels with a schedule tailored to ensure convergence. From a Bayesian perspective, we prove that our method converges to a $\textit{Maximum a Posteriori}$ (MAP) estimate, under suitable assumptions. Subsequently, we apply our method to various ill-posed inverse problems and show that it surpasses convergent methods while competing with state-of-the-art empirical ones.

Weeding Out Bad Seeds: Initial-Noise-Robust Unlearning for Text-to-Image Diffusion Models
剔除坏种子：针对文本到图像扩散模型的初始噪声鲁棒性去学习
Abstract
Machine unlearning has emerged as a critical post-hoc safety measure to erase sensitive concepts from Text-to-Image (T2I) models without prohibitive retraining. However, we reveal that current state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches are brittle due to a severe lack of robustness to noise initialization. We call this phenomenon ``probabilistic forgetting'': suppressed concepts re-emerge under specific random initial noise conditions, despite appearing unlearned on other initializations. We trace this failure to the misalignment between standard Gaussian sampling during unlearning and the unlearning objective. Since the target concept manifests only in specific initial noise regions throughout the unlearning phase, uniform random sampling yields sparse, uninformative gradient updates that fail to drive robust erasure. To overcome this issue, we propose an adaptive, concept-conditioned sampling strategy that dynamically concentrates gradient updates on regions where the target concept manifests, down-weighting uninformative areas. We integrate our framework with six distinct SOTA unlearning methods across four diffusion backbones and evaluate it across safety, object, and artistic-style unlearning, as well as under black-box and white-box adversarial attacks. Our method reduces the conditional nudity re-emergence rate across random initializations by 67.2% on average over four baselines and lowers attack success rates across both adversarial evaluations. Across concept domains, Adaptive Noise Sampling strengthens adversarial robustness and non-target retention while preserving competitive generative quality and target-erasure performance.

机器去学习作为一种关键的后期安全措施，旨在从文本到图像（T2I）模型中删除敏感概念，而无需进行昂贵的重新训练。然而，我们发现当前的最先进（SOTA）方法由于对噪声初始化缺乏鲁棒性而显得脆弱。我们称这种现象为“概率遗忘”：在特定的随机初始噪声条件下，被抑制的概念重新出现，尽管在其他初始化下看似已被去学习。我们将这一失败归因于去学习过程中标准高斯采样与去学习目标之间的不对齐。由于目标概念仅在去学习阶段的特定初始噪声区域中显现，均匀随机采样导致稀疏且无信息的梯度更新，无法有效驱动鲁棒的抹除。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种自适应的、概念条件的采样策略，动态集中梯度更新于目标概念显现的区域，同时降低无信息区域的权重。我们将我们的框架与六种不同的SOTA去学习方法结合，跨四个扩散骨干网络进行评估，涵盖安全性、物体和艺术风格去学习，以及在黑箱和白箱对抗攻击下的表现。我们的方法在四个基线的随机初始化中平均减少了67.2%的条件裸体重新出现率，并降低了在两种对抗评估中的攻击成功率。在概念领域中，自适应噪声采样增强了对抗鲁棒性和非目标保留，同时保持了竞争性的生成质量和目标抹除性能。

APM-Bench: Benchmarking Cross-session Persistent Memory for Egocentric Streaming Video Assistants
APM-Bench：跨会话持久内存的自我中心流媒体视频助手基准测试
Abstract
To serve as real-world personal assistants, streaming video models need persistent memory that retains past experiences for later use. Yet existing streaming benchmarks and methods often focus on individual continuous videos or short clips, overlooking that real-world interactions are often intermittent and require memory to persist across interruptions. To fill this gap, we introduce APM-Bench, which reformulates real-world streaming interaction as multi-session life trajectories. It contains 549 sessions, 104 trajectories, and 2,719 candidates, spanning both objective and open-ended questions. Each session is a video with fine-grained annotations, and sessions within a trajectory revolve around related activities. Models then use persistent memory to answer questions about past sessions and provide proactive responses while maintaining real-time interaction. This raises challenges: persistent memory must be storable, selectively retain information, be injected at the right time, and remain efficient. Moreover, finite storage may leave required evidence unavailable, so assistants should recognize missing evidence. Therefore, we systematically evaluate general video models under different memory protocols and diverse specialized streaming memory systems, and test whether models acknowledge insufficient evidence. Our evaluation reveals a clear utility--latency--storage trade-off: existing methods still struggle to simultaneously achieve reliable long-term recall, low overhead, and effective proactive assistance across sessions. APM-Bench provides a comprehensive testbed for developing and comparing persistent memory systems under realistic streaming conditions. We hope it encourages future work that jointly considers utility, latency, and storage toward more practical persistent memory for real-world streaming assistants.

Decompose Radicals, Then Reward: Fine-Grained Inspection for Accurate Chinese Text Rendering
分解部首，然后奖励：精细化检查以实现准确的中文文本渲染
Abstract
Rendering accurate Chinese text remains challenging for text-to-image models. Existing OCR-based reinforcement-learning rewards compare decoded transcripts with target strings. Such rewards overlook the compositional nature of Chinese writing: an ideograph consists of reusable components arranged through explicit spatial relations, yet OCR evaluates it as an atomic character. Consequently, visually different radical-level errors may receive equally coarse feedback, encouraging glyphs that merely resemble the target instead of faithfully reproducing its internal structure. We employ Ideographic Description Sequences (IDS), which comprise spatial operators and character components, and train an expert IDS recognizer to transcribe rendered Chinese text into this representation. Building on this recognizer, we introduce IDSpect, which deterministically decomposes the target text into IDS tokens and aligns crop-level visual IDS predictions with the target sequence. Globally unique token credit makes this comparison robust to the order of detected text regions. Combined with a whole-character semantic reward, IDSpect supplies fine-grained credit with component and spatial-relation without changing the image generator or adding inference-time cost. Experiments with GRPO post-training of Qwen-Image demonstrate that IDSpect achieves leading structural quality and semantic alignment on LongText and GenTextEval.

Evaluating the Evaluators: Diagnosing Large Multimodal Models for AI-Generated Image Assessment
评估评估者：诊断用于AI生成图像评估的大型多模态模型
Abstract
With the rapid advancement of text-to-image (T2I) generation, robust evaluation becomes critical yet challenging, as traditional metrics fail to capture fine-grained alignment and generative artifacts. While large multimodal models (LMMs) are increasingly adopted as evaluators, existing benchmarks typically study semantic understanding, quality perception, and authenticity identification in isolation, while largely neglecting responsibility detection. This leaves a gap in unified and comprehensive validation. To bridge this gap, we introduce SQUARE-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark that systematically evaluates LMM capabilities as evaluators of AI-generated images across four aspects: Semantics, Quality, Authenticity, and Responsibility. SQUARE-Bench introduces a granular taxonomy of 38 sub-dimensions to evaluate nearly 10K AI-generated images sampled from 22 diverse models, ranging from legacy to state-of-the-art generators, complemented by over 3K real-world images. The images are annotated with curated question-answering pairs. Extensive experiments on 23 LMMs reveal that top proprietary models, such as Gemini-3-Pro, already outperform the individual human expert baseline. However, the performance gap between models remains significant, exhibiting notable disparities in fine-grained inference and domain-specific robustness. Beyond benchmarking, we conduct a proof-of-concept study of LMM-guided iterative editing, in which dimension-specific LMMs provide diagnostic feedback to fixed image editors. The resulting guided system yields selective improvements in semantics, authenticity, and responsibility, while exhibiting a consistent visual-quality trade-off. SQUARE-Bench can serve as both a diagnostic tool for characterizing LMM evaluator capabilities and studying their use in T2I generation refinement. The benchmark and dataset will be released upon publication.

TReVS: Integrating Textual Relevance and Visual Saliency for Efficient Vision-Language Model Token Pruning
TReVS：将文本相关性与视觉显著性相结合以实现高效的视觉-语言模型令牌剪枝
Abstract
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) excel at visual understanding and reasoning but often incur substantial inference costs due to the large number of visual tokens. Recent visual token pruning methods increasingly follow a two-stage paradigm: they first remove visually redundant tokens after the vision encoder and then discard tokens irrelevant to the textual query within the Large Language Model (LLM). However, since the first stage typically relies solely on vision-encoder saliency, it may prematurely eliminate query-relevant tokens, depriving the subsequent text-guided stage of critical visual evidence. Our empirical analysis shows that incorporating query guidance into first-stage pruning better preserves task-relevant evidence and consistently improves performance over vision-only saliency-based pruning. We further find that high-variance attention heads are more sensitive to the textual query and yield more discriminative text-to-vision attention signals for second-stage pruning. Motivated by these findings, we propose TReVS, a training-free framework that combines textual relevance with vision-encoder saliency for pre-LLM pruning and leverages high-variance attention heads to remove task-irrelevant tokens at shallow-to-intermediate layers of the LLM. On LLaVA-1.5-7B, TReVS retains 92.8% of the unpruned baseline performance while pruning 94.4% of visual tokens, outperforming prior state-of-the-art methods.

视觉-语言模型（VLMs）在视觉理解和推理方面表现出色，但由于视觉令牌数量庞大，往往会产生可观的推理成本。近期的视觉令牌剪枝方法越来越多地遵循两阶段范式：首先在视觉编码器之后移除视觉冗余令牌，然后在大型语言模型（LLM）中丢弃与文本查询无关的令牌。然而，由于第一阶段通常仅依赖于视觉编码器的显著性，它可能会过早地消除与查询相关的令牌，从而剥夺后续文本引导阶段的关键视觉证据。我们的实证分析表明，将查询引导纳入第一阶段剪枝能够更好地保留与任务相关的证据，并且在性能上始终优于仅基于视觉显著性的剪枝方法。我们进一步发现，高方差注意力头对文本查询更加敏感，并为第二阶段剪枝提供了更具区分性的文本到视觉的注意力信号。基于这些发现，我们提出了TReVS，一个无训练的框架，结合了文本相关性与视觉编码器显著性，用于LLM之前的剪枝，并利用高方差注意力头在LLM的浅层到中间层移除与任务无关的令牌。在LLaVA-1.5-7B上，TReVS在剪枝94.4%视觉令牌的同时保留了92.8%的未剪枝基线性能，超越了之前的最先进方法。

FedSocket: Recipient-Executable Knowledge Exchange for Heterogeneous Multimodal Federated Learning
FedSocket：异构多模态联邦学习的可执行知识交换
Abstract
Federated knowledge must remain usable by recipients with different modalities, private architectures, and tasks. We present FedSocket, which makes recipient execution a design requirement of the exchanged model. A shared Q combines recipient-computable inputs, task-owned outputs, and ownership-aware aggregation, connecting heterogeneous private models through a common prediction interface. Private models teach local Q copies; the returned Q supports local learning and Joint inference, with only Q parameters and counts exchanged. Across six datasets, FedSocket improves missing-modality recipient accuracy over Local by 14.44 and 15.51 percentage points on MELD and UCF-51. Under matched inference capacity, Joint exceeds independent ensembles by 11.06 points in UCF-51 accuracy and 4.87 points in mean bidirectional Flickr30k R@1. Joint also improves over Q alone on all four heterogeneous endpoints, demonstrating the value of combining local and exchanged predictions. Teacher controls, sharing-path interventions, and component factorials identify the roles of supervision, sharing, and deployment. FedSocket makes exchanged knowledge directly usable from federated training to recipient inference.

TomoTransformer: Towards a Foundation Model for CT Reconstruction
TomoTransformer：面向CT重建的基础模型
Abstract
Supervised deep learning has advanced sparse-view tomographic reconstruction. However, conventional models, which typically map filtered back-projection (FBP) images or sinograms to clean reconstructions, are brittle under distribution shifts. Because they require retraining whenever projection counts and angles, detector resolutions, or data distributions change, their deployment in real-world applications remains limited. To address this, we introduce TomoTransformer, a transformer-based architecture that treats each \textit{local} filtered projection as an individual token and predicts missing views via self-attention. Crucially, TomoTransformer operates in a \emph{back-projection space} that separates projections across spatial locations, making view interpolation geometrically well-posed and invariant to detector size. This design yields a single foundation model that can process any number of input projections, at arbitrary angular locations and detector dimensions, and query any number of target angles without retraining. Trained on a large-scale dataset spanning diverse medical CT anatomies and natural images, TomoTransformer generalizes effectively across anatomies, materials, and resolutions. Extensive evaluations on several benchmark sparse-view datasets show that TomoTransformer significantly outperforms concurrent multi-purpose models like ViewTrans and matches or exceeds strong protocol-specific baselines, while remaining fully agnostic to the number of input and target projections. Furthermore, the model demonstrates robust zero-shot generalization on real experimental nanoscale brain data collected from an X-ray synchrotron, showcasing its practical utility for real-world applications.

Targeted Visual Counterfactual Explanations for Contrastive Vision-Language Model
针对对比视觉-语言模型的目标视觉反事实解释
Abstract
Current explanation methods for contrastive vision--language models such as CLIP mainly identify important regions without showing how to change the input in order to get a target prediction. We introduce \textbf{M}ask-guided \textbf{A}daptive \textbf{C}ounterfactual \textbf{E}xplanations (\mace), a targeted visual counterfactual method designed specifically for CLIP zero-shot classification. \mace constructs an editable region from either source attribution or source--target attribution differences and expands the mask only when needed to reach a specified target class. A latent diffusion inpainting model then modifies the selected region, while a frozen CLIP model provides modification guidance and anchors the remaining image content to the original input. We evaluate \mace on ImageNet, Food-101, Oxford Pets, and CUB-200. The source-mask variant achieves the highest target top-1 success rate across all four datasets, while the difference-mask variant produces the smallest pixel-level and perceptual changes and the best realism scores. Both variants improve proximity and realism over a Stable Diffusion-only baseline using the same generative backbone. These results show that adaptive mask-guided editing produces effective CLIP counterfactuals. They further reveal a tradeoff between counterfactual validity and source-image preservation.

VoxelSage: Tool-Augmented 3D CT Analysis and Simulator-Shielded Sequential Resection Planning for Liver Tumors
VoxelSage：工具增强的三维CT分析与模拟器保护的肝肿瘤序列切除规划
Abstract
Preoperative liver-tumor assessment requires segmentation, physical-space measurement, visual evidence, and resection planning from the same three-dimensional CT volume. Existing tools often handle these steps separately, while language models cannot reliably compute physical measurements from CT. To provide an integrated workflow, we present VoxelSage, a multi-modal system for two- and three-dimensional visualization, liver-tumor analysis, and preoperative resection planning. Its dual-port architecture separates language-model orchestration from image computation: Port A interprets requests and selects skills, while Port B applies them to CT volumes and segmentation masks and returns structured results. Keeping physical measurements in Port B prevents the LLM from computing them directly and reduces the risk of fabricated numerical results. Eight built-in skills support quantitative analysis, visual evidence generation, three-dimensional reconstruction, segmentation refinement, and sequential resection planning; user-defined skills can extend these functions. For sequence planning, a behavior-cloned neural ranker orders candidate resection targets, while a simulator-based shield checks them against predefined constraints. Across 256 unseen simulator scenes, this approach reduced mean simulated time from 34.274 to 33.388 min (0.886 min, 2.59%) and mean simulated blood loss from 300.847 to 183.852 mL (116.995 mL, 38.89%) relative to a deterministic baseline. These results demonstrate system integration and simulator-level performance, not clinical efficacy or safety. The public implementation is available at https://github.com/ZJUMAI/VoxelSage.

Texture Space Material Diffusion
纹理空间材料扩散
Abstract
We present a method for generating high quality materials for 3D objects entirely in texture space. We finetune a video diffusion transformer for text-guided material generation, multi-view material generation, and material upscaling. Our key insight is to use the known projection from image space to texture space, enabling the diffusion process to generalize across arbitrary geometries and texture parameterizations. This approach also avoids the view consistency issues inherent in video and multi-view diffusion models. Because texture space is two dimensional, we can reuse the strong priors of pretrained video diffusion models. We apply our method to high quality material reconstruction from posed photos captured under unknown lighting, as well as to text- and image guided material generation. Our method can scale to high resolutions (8K), 100+ input views, and neural material representations. In quantitative and qualitative evaluations we show state-of-the-art results for material generation and reconstruction.

Exemplar2VQA: A Scalable Exemplar-Driven Visual Question Answering Generation Framework via Multi-Agent Coding
Exemplar2VQA：一种通过多智能体编码的可扩展示例驱动视觉问答生成框架
Abstract
Advancing spatial intelligence in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) is bottlenecked by the scarcity of complex, scalable 3D question-answer (QA) data. While manual annotation is labor-intensive, directly utilizing LLMs to synthesize these QA pairs often fails due to their inherent deficiencies in spatial and geometric computation. We introduce Exemplar2VQA, a scalable exemplar-driven visual question answering generation framework that rapidly synthesizes large-scale spatial QA pairs in simulated environments via multi-agent coding. By equipping collaborative agents with a meticulously designed library of geometric utilities, Exemplar2VQA bypasses LLMs' spatial reasoning flaws through deterministic code execution. Crucially, the framework exhibits remarkable versatility: taking diverse static object-centric spatial query templates as exemplars, it seamlessly and autonomously scales them into massive, high-fidelity synthetic datasets. Fine-tuning Qwen2.5-VL (3B/7B) exclusively on Exemplar2VQA-generated synthetic indoor data yields significant performance improvements across various diverse benchmarks. Furthermore, its effectiveness is not limited to in-domain indoor datasets but also robustly extends to outdoor and mixed-scene benchmarks. These results establish Exemplar2VQA as a scalable and powerful paradigm for bridging the sim-to-real gap in Embodied AI. Our code is at https://github.com/yingjiayu12/Exemplar2VQA

Tracing the Evidence: Faithful Token Attribution Through Vision-Language Reasoning
追踪证据：通过视觉-语言推理实现忠实的标记归因
Abstract
Large vision-language models (LVLMs) exhibit strong reasoning capabilities, yet the visual and textual evidence supporting the generated responses remains difficult to identify. Faithful token attribution explains an LVLM's response by assigning scores that rank image and prompt tokens by how much the model relies on them, such that removing higher-ranked tokens causes the likelihood of the generated response to drop more rapidly. However, existing token-attribution methods have been developed mainly for text-based language models, and our empirical study reveals two challenges when complex multimodal sources are involved. First, the joint image-text attribution can underrepresent visual evidence relative to text, obscuring the image regions supporting the response. Second, visual evidence may influence the generated response through multiple intermediate reasoning paths, while existing methods trace only a limited subset of these paths, causing important visual contributions to be underestimated. Motivated by these insights, we introduce VTrace, a multimodal token-attribution framework that traces input contributions through intermediate reasoning and calibrates attribution scores across modalities. VTrace constructs pairwise attributions that highlight token-specific contributions and aggregates all forward attribution paths in closed form to account for both direct and indirect contributions. Cross-modal calibration then rescales image and text attribution scores using modality contributions estimated from response-likelihood changes, enabling a unified ranking of input tokens. Evaluations against seven baselines across six visual reasoning benchmarks demonstrate the superior attribution faithfulness. Project page: https://vtrace-attribution.github.io/.

大型视觉-语言模型（LVLMs）展现出强大的推理能力，但支持生成响应的视觉和文本证据仍然难以识别。忠实的标记归因通过为图像和提示标记分配分数来解释LVLM的响应，这些分数根据模型对它们的依赖程度进行排名，从而使得移除排名较高的标记会导致生成响应的可能性更快速地下降。然而，现有的标记归因方法主要是为基于文本的语言模型开发的，我们的实证研究揭示了在涉及复杂多模态源时的两个挑战。首先，联合图像-文本归因可能相对于文本低估视觉证据，掩盖了支持响应的图像区域。其次，视觉证据可能通过多个中间推理路径影响生成的响应，而现有方法仅追踪这些路径的有限子集，导致重要的视觉贡献被低估。基于这些见解，我们引入了VTrace，一个多模态标记归因框架，通过中间推理追踪输入贡献，并在各模态之间校准归因分数。VTrace构建成对的归因，突出标记特定的贡献，并以封闭形式聚合所有前向归因路径，以考虑直接和间接贡献。跨模态校准随后使用从响应可能性变化估计的模态贡献重新缩放图像和文本归因分数，从而实现输入标记的统一排名。针对六个视觉推理基准的七个基线的评估展示了优越的归因忠实性。项目页面：https://vtrace-attribution.github.io/

Are In-Context Images Worth 10 Dimensions?
上下文图像是否值得十个维度？
Abstract
There has been significant work on understanding the In-Context Learning capabilities of Large Language Models, especially on the induction circuit. For a few-shot classification task, the induction circuit leverages linear representations of each labeled example in-context in order to classify an unlabeled query. However, few works focus on how those linear representations are built in the first place. Leveraging the expressivity of the vision modality compared to text, we uncover a Shared Discriminative Geometry (SDG) inside Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs). It is a low-dimensional space, shared across all image classification tasks, in which in-context images are compressed into linearly separable representations later used to perform classification. We observe that this is the result of the model performing a dimensionality reduction of vision representations in early layers. In order to explain this phenomenon: (1) We show analytically that linear self-attention can perform a dimensionality reduction by projecting in-context data onto its principal components, with each layer implementing one gradient descent step toward this objective. (2) We provide evidence that trained LVLMs reduce the dimensionality of vision representations in early layers via a similar mechanism.

Med-RADIO: Reducing All Medical Domains Into One via Multi-Teacher Distillation
Med-RADIO：通过多教师蒸馏将所有医学领域整合为一个
Abstract
The rapid expansion of large-scale medical datasets and computational resources has driven significant progress in medical foundation models. Given the inherent heterogeneity of medical imaging modalities, current research mainly follows two paths: specialized models optimized for specific modalities, and generalist models designed to handle multiple modalities. However, medical generalist models suffer from both insufficient training data scale relative to natural image generalists and inadequate domain-specific depth relative to medical specialists. Empirically, generalist models establish a cross-modality performance baseline, while specialists define the performance ceiling within their respective domains. To elevate this baseline toward these ceilings, we propose Med-RADIO, a medical multi-teacher distillation framework that Reduces All Domains Into One by compressing complementary expertise from multiple domain-specific teachers into a unified medical vision foundation model. Our method curates both generalist and specialist teachers, allocates modality-aligned distillation streams to reorganize generalist pretraining data so it matches specialist domains, and uses a balanced loss to prevent any single teacher from dominating the distillation process. On internal and external classification benchmarks spanning five modalities, Med-RADIO improves over strong medical generalists under linear probing and remains competitive with representative specialists on most evaluated modalities.

PAIQ: Patch-Aligned Semantic Injection via Residual Rotation
PAIQ：通过残差旋转进行补丁对齐的语义注入
Abstract
Language-aligned and self-supervised visual encoders offer complementary strengths in semantic abstraction and spatial detail. Harnessing this complementarity requires enriching local features while retaining distinctions between semantically related patches. We introduce PAIQ, a patch-aligned semantic injection framework that combines content-based cross-encoder matching with orthogonally constrained residual updates. Using DINOv3 patch features as the spatial base, PAIQ aggregates complementary SigLIP features through joint source allocation and injects the aggregate--base differences through a shared orthogonal transformation Q. This rotation adapts update directions while preserving residual norms and pairwise angles. For fixed projected features, we derive conditions for patch separability under similar semantic aggregates and show that rotation adds a nonnegative separation term over direct interpolation when the aggregate is shared. Only the projection and fusion parameters are trained; both visual encoders and the language model remain frozen, and fusion retains 196 visual tokens. Across diverse language backbones, PAIQ yields broad gains in judge-assessed correctness and reductions in hallucination severity over single-encoder interfaces on image description and visual question answering. On the 2B and 9B Qwen backbones, this compact interface outperforms the strongest evaluated fusion or token-compression baselines by about 2.9 correctness points on average.

Honeycomb: Constant-Size Scene Memory Representation for Video World Models
蜂巢：用于视频世界模型的恒定大小场景记忆表示
Abstract
Video world models require persistent scene memory to maintain consistency during long-horizon video generation. Existing spatial memory systems accumulate RGB observations or latent features, causing storage requirements to grow as generation proceeds. We introduce **Honeycomb**, a video world model built on **HexMemory**, a compact low-rank representation that stores scene features in a fixed-size memory comprising six spatial and spatiotemporal planes. A feed-forward writer maps each newly generated video chunk to plane features. As the spatial coverage or temporal range expands, HexMemory warps the existing planes while preserving their dimensions, then integrates new features through confidence-weighted pooling and a learned residual correction. A reader retrieves latent features from HexMemory to condition subsequent video generation. Because the writer processes only observations from the latest chunk, Honeycomb avoids per-scene optimization and repeated processing of the full generation history. Experiments on WorldScore and RealEstate10K demonstrate strong video generation quality and robust consistency when revisiting previously observed regions, while maintaining constant feature-storage requirements throughout generation. Code and additional visualizations are available on our https://jackswl.github.io/honeycomb/.

VIF-Bench: Evaluating Visual Instruction Following in Multi-Reference Image Generation
VIF-Bench：评估多参考图像生成中的视觉指令跟随能力
Abstract
Recent multimodal image generation models can take multiple images and textual instructions as input, enabling reference-based generation guided not only by text but also by visual instructions such as layouts, arrows, and pose cues. However, existing benchmarks do not evaluate the joint setting in which multiple references must be composed under multiple and heterogeneous visual-instruction images. To address this gap, we introduce VIF-Bench, a benchmark of 1,241 tasks designed to assess the edge of model capabilities in this joint setting by covering: (i) multi-reference generation (up to 7) under multiple heterogeneous visual instructions (up to 6), (ii) cases where reference images can potentially compete with visual instructions (e.g., a strongly posed subject vs. a target pose), and (iii) controlled comparison of visual instructions with text descriptions at different levels of specificity. Using these capabilities, we uncover three findings: (1) models face an adherence-artifact trade-off: once models reach stronger visual instruction adherence, stronger adherence tends to coincide with more instruction artifacts in generated images, (2) visual instruction adherence tends to be lower on tasks whose reference images carry a salient state of the controlled attribute (e.g., a neon-lit subject under a light-direction instruction), most consistently for light and wind, and (3) for models that can understand visual instructions, it is often better to provide visual constraints directly rather than describe them in text; when using text, a moderate level of detail works better than an exhaustive description.

最近的多模态图像生成模型可以同时接受多张图像和文本指令作为输入，使得基于参考的生成不仅受到文本的指导，还受到布局、箭头和姿势提示等视觉指令的引导。然而，现有的基准测试并未评估在多个异质视觉指令图像下，必须组合多个参考的联合设置。为了解决这一空白，我们引入了VIF-Bench，这是一个包含1241个任务的基准，旨在通过覆盖以下内容来评估模型在这一联合设置中的能力极限：（i）在多种异质视觉指令（最多6种）下进行多参考生成（最多7个），（ii）参考图像可能与视觉指令竞争的情况（例如，强烈摆姿的主体与目标姿势），以及（iii）在不同具体性水平下对视觉指令与文本描述的受控比较。利用这些能力，我们发现了三个结果：（1）模型面临遵循与伪影之间的权衡：一旦模型达到更强的视觉指令遵循，遵循的增强往往与生成图像中的更多指令伪影同时出现，（2）在参考图像携带显著受控属性状态的任务中，视觉指令遵循往往较低（例如，在光照方向指令下的霓虹灯照明主体），对于光和风的情况最为一致，以及（3）对于能够理解视觉指令的模型，直接提供视觉约束通常比用文本描述更有效；在使用文本时，中等程度的细节比详尽的描述效果更好。VIF-Bench作为一个开放基准发布，以建立可控多参考图像生成中的公平比较基础。

Abstract
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is evolving from plain-text transcription toward general visual intelligence, requiring models to recognize, localize, and reason over textual information in complex visual environments. However, existing OCR systems often excel at only some tasks and struggle to balance recognition, parsing, and reasoning across scenarios. In this report, we present PolyOCR, a family of unified OCR foundation models of varying scales. PolyOCR combines a shared instruction-following framework with a large-scale data engine that converts heterogeneous visual resources into quality-verified OCR supervision. We introduce Competence-Guided Policy Optimization, which combines verifier-based Group Relative Policy Optimization with on-policy distillation through sample-wise routing based on teacher reliability and the teacher--student competence gap. We also introduce OCRBench v2.1, our revision of OCRBench v2 with manually verified annotation corrections and task-aligned scoring metrics. Extensive experiments across OCRBench v2.1, CC-OCR, in-house KIE Benchmark, OmniDocBench v1.6 and MDPBench demonstrate that PolyOCR achieves state-of-the-art or highly competitive performance.

光学字符识别（OCR）正从简单文本转录向通用视觉智能演变，这要求模型能够在复杂的视觉环境中识别、定位和推理文本信息。然而，现有的OCR系统往往只能在某些任务上表现优异，难以在不同场景中平衡识别、解析和推理。在本报告中，我们提出了PolyOCR，一个具有不同规模的统一OCR基础模型系列。PolyOCR结合了共享的指令跟随框架和一个大型数据引擎，该引擎将异构视觉资源转换为经过质量验证的OCR监督。我们引入了能力引导策略优化（Competence-Guided Policy Optimization），该方法结合了基于验证者的组相对策略优化（Group Relative Policy Optimization）与基于教师可靠性和教师-学生能力差距的样本级路由的在线策略蒸馏（on-policy distillation）。我们还推出了OCRBench v2.1，这是我们对OCRBench v2的修订，包含手动验证的注释修正和与任务对齐的评分指标。在OCRBench v2.1、CC-OCR、自建KIE基准、OmniDocBench v1.6和MDPBench上的大量实验表明，PolyOCR达到了最先进或高度竞争的性能。

The Camera Inside the Editor: Reading the Implicit Camera of Image Editors with Painted Calibration Patterns
编辑器内部的相机：通过绘制标定图案读取图像编辑器的隐式相机
Abstract
Instruction-based image editors insert objects, restyle scenes and render new viewpoints, but it is unknown which camera they assume when they paint into a photograph. Asked to cover the floor with a checkerboard, an editor paints projective structure from which classical vanishing-point geometry reads pitch, roll, focal length, yaw and, on renders, the principal point, without any training. Unlike a calibrator such as GeoCalib, which estimates the camera of an image, this isolates the camera under which the editor paints. On 120 rendered cameras with exact ground truth, Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 paints tile edges that meet their vanishing points within 0.26 degrees, and its implicit camera matches the true one to 0.8 degrees in pitch and 6% in focal length, more accurately than GeoCalib except in roll. Asked to draw the horizon or mark a vanishing point instead, the editor fails, so this knowledge is revealed by painting and not by the explicit tasks we tried. The implicit camera has two priors: roll is pulled towards level (slope 0.71), and telephoto perspective towards a default of about 30 mm, which roughly matches the camera the models paint without any scene. For Qwen, the priors do not grow when blur removes four fifths of the line evidence. They are stronger on real photographs, and on NYUv2 a shorter wording of the task removes the difference for roll. On photographs from a 24--240 mm zoom lens the painted perspective grows with only 0.62 of the lens's slope, while GeoCalib and MoGe-2 saturate at about 52 and 42 mm. FLUX.1 Kontext and LongCat-Image-Edit are pulled much harder. Finally, from a level camera a camera-control LoRA executes pose commands at only 50--70% of their strength, and a board painted into its output agrees with the camera it produced.

基于指令的图像编辑器可以插入对象、重新设计场景并渲染新的视角，但尚不清楚它们在对照片进行绘制时假设了哪种相机。当被要求用棋盘格覆盖地面时，编辑器绘制了投影结构，从中经典的消失点几何可以读取俯仰、滚转、焦距、偏航，及在渲染中主点，而无需任何训练。与估计图像相机的标定器（如GeoCalib）不同，这种方法隔离了编辑器绘制时所使用的相机。在120个具有精确真实值的渲染相机中，Qwen-Image-Edit-2511绘制的瓷砖边缘与其消失点的夹角在0.26度以内，其隐式相机在俯仰角上与真实相机的匹配误差为0.8度，焦距误差为6%，比GeoCalib更为准确，除了在滚转方面。当被要求绘制地平线或标记消失点时，编辑器则未能成功，因此这一知识是通过绘制而非我们尝试的明确任务所揭示的。隐式相机有两个先验：滚转向水平（斜率为0.71）拉动，长焦透视向约30毫米的默认值拉动，这大致与模型在没有场景的情况下绘制的相机匹配。对于Qwen，当模糊去除四分之五的线索证据时，这些先验并未增长。在真实照片上它们更为强烈，在NYUv2上，任务的简短表述消除了滚转的差异。在使用24-240毫米变焦镜头拍摄的照片中，绘制的透视仅以0.62的镜头斜率增长，而GeoCalib和MoGe-2在约52毫米和42毫米处饱和。FLUX.1 Kontext和LongCat-Image-Edit则受到更强的拉动。最后，从一个水平相机出发，相机控制的LoRA以仅50-70%的强度执行姿态命令，绘制在其输出中的板子与其产生的相机一致。

Multi-Site Real-World Performance of Commercial AI for Pulmonary and Incidental Pulmonary Embolism Detection
商业人工智能在肺栓塞及偶发性肺栓塞检测中的多地点真实世界表现
Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, yet the real-world performance of FDA-cleared AI detection models remains incompletely characterized. We retrospectively evaluated two FDA-cleared AI algorithms from a single commercial platform (Aidoc Medical BriefCase), one for PE triage on dedicated CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA; n = 30,678) and one for incidental PE (iPE) detection on routine contrast-enhanced CTs (n = 37,191), across a 17-facility academic health system. Reference-standard labels were extracted from radiology reports using a validated LLM pipeline (97% accuracy, kappa = 0.94). The PE model achieved 86.8% sensitivity and 99.1% specificity, with sensitivity declining from 99.3% for saddle emboli to 72.9% for subsegmental PE, and from 89.7% for acute to 65.3% for non-acute PE. The iPE model achieved 73.5% sensitivity and 99.8% specificity. Both models demonstrated lower sensitivity than FDA-clearance benchmarks while exceeding cleared specificity, with diminishing performance for peripheral and non-acute emboli mirroring known human reader limitations and underscoring the need for standardized post-market surveillance of AI-enabled medical devices.

HiRAE: Hierarchical Representation Autoencoding with Residual Budgets
HiRAE：具有残差预算的层次表示自编码
Abstract
Pretrained visual representations support image generation, but may not fully preserve the fine-grained details needed for faithful reconstruction. Meanwhile, intermediate encoder layers contain complementary visual details, but learning to fuse them for reconstruction can produce a latent distribution that is difficult to model. Existing fusion methods require empirical tuning of layer selection or staged optimization of fusion and decoding, increasing configuration effort or training complexity. We introduce HiRAE (Hierarchical Representation Autoencoder), which learns a hierarchical fusion framework over the full encoder hierarchy to improve reconstruction fidelity while maintaining compatibility with generative modeling. HiRAE groups encoder layers by depth and learns residual corrections to the deepest representation. Group-wise norm caps bound these corrections relative to the deep anchor, with tighter budgets for shallower groups. Our HiRAE-24 preserves the latent token count and channel dimension. On ImageNet-256, HiRAE-24 reduces reconstruction FID from 0.299 to 0.209 relative to RAEv2 while maintaining competitive guided generation quality. For text-to-image generation, HiRAE-24 improves alignment over RAEv2 on GenEval, DPG-Bench, and GenAI-Bench both before and after supervised fine-tuning. Under the same generator-training and evaluation protocol, post-fine-tuning GenEval increases from 84.86 to 87.70.

预训练的视觉表示支持图像生成，但可能无法完全保留忠实重建所需的细粒度细节。同时，中间编码器层包含互补的视觉细节，但学习如何融合这些细节以进行重建可能会产生难以建模的潜在分布。现有的融合方法需要对层选择进行经验调优或对融合和解码进行分阶段优化，从而增加了配置工作量或训练复杂性。我们提出了HiRAE（层次表示自编码器），它在完整的编码器层次结构上学习层次融合框架，以提高重建的保真度，同时保持与生成建模的兼容性。HiRAE按深度对编码器层进行分组，并学习对最深表示的残差修正。组级范数上限将这些修正相对于深锚定进行限制，对于较浅的组则设定更严格的预算。我们的HiRAE-24保持潜在标记计数和通道维度。在ImageNet-256上，HiRAE-24将相对于RAEv2的重建FID从0.299降低至0.209，同时保持竞争性的引导生成质量。在文本到图像生成方面，HiRAE-24在GenEval、DPG-Bench和GenAI-Bench上相较于RAEv2提高了对齐度，无论是在监督微调之前还是之后。在相同的生成器训练和评估协议下，微调后的GenEval从84.86提高到87.70。

A Benchmark & Dataset for Detecting AI-Manipulated Visual Evidence in the Court System
法院系统中检测人工智能操纵视觉证据的基准与数据集
Abstract
Photographic evidence is becoming increasingly vulnerable to forms of alteration and fabrication that existing legal and technical workflows are not well equipped to evaluate. Surveillance frames, dashcam stills, and phone photographs may be used to establish presence, sequence, causation, damage, or identity, yet contemporary generative systems allow non-experts to alter or fabricate such images through ordinary prompt-based interfaces. Existing image-forensics benchmarks provide important resources for face manipulation, classical tampering, and general synthetic-image detection, but they are not organized around the forms of visual evidence submitted in courts, the localized edits that can change what an exhibit appears to prove, or the consumer-tool threat model now facing the justice system. We introduce the CIFAR Synthetic Evidence Corpus for Detecting AI-Manipulated Images, a benchmark for evidentiary image authentication in court and justice-system contexts. The corpus contains 1,505 photographic items, including 720 authentic controls and 785 manipulated or fabricated images, spanning surveillance, dashcam, and consumer-photo imagery. Manipulations are organized into scene-condition edits, localized element edits, and full fabrications produced with contemporary generative systems. Each item is released with structured metadata covering source provenance, manipulation tier, subtype, generator, prompt template, and scene attributes, enabling controlled evaluation beyond aggregate binary detection. We also establish baselines with publicly available image-manipulation detectors, showing that current systems exhibit error profiles that remain problematic for evidentiary use. The dataset, prompts, metadata, code, and baseline evaluation scripts are released to support research on visual evidence authentication, information integrity, and trustworthy AI for the justice system.

Planetary Feature Fields are Scalable Earth Representations
行星特征场是可扩展的地球表征
Abstract
Satellite observations, precomputed embeddings, and map products describe the same evolving Earth, yet are stored as independent, petabyte-scale data products. Their continued growth calls for compact representations of multiple products while preserving spatial and temporal detail. We introduce Planetary Feature Fields (PFFs), which exploit redundancy across data products by modeling them jointly as continuous functions of space and time at planetary scale. PFFs are spatially local explicit-implicit (hybrid) neural fields. Each field shares a factored feature volume---a decomposition of an explicit 3D grid with smaller factors---across products, while lightweight implicit decoders reconstruct individual products across multiple timesteps. PFFs reconstruct EO products over space and time more accurately than single-product fields at matched compression rates. At $1800\times$ compression relative to the uncompressed source data, reconstructed features retain approximately $90\%$ or more of the performance achieved with the original features on pixel-level segmentation, change detection, and patch-level classification tasks. PFFs can add new timesteps by extending their factored feature volumes and add new products by attaching new decoders, while leaving existing outputs unchanged. PFFs reduce end-to-end feature access latency by an order of magnitude relative to evaluated API and cloud-storage pipelines.

CHOQOLATE: Organizing Concept Bottleneck Latent Spaces with Choquet Integrals
CHOQOLATE：使用Choquet积分组织概念瓶颈潜在空间
Abstract
Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) built on vision-language models such as CLIP represent a latent space as human-understandable concepts. These representations are unfaithful: related concepts are entangled, so individual scores do not reflect their intended meaning. We propose CHOQOLATE, an interpretable-by-design layer based on 2-additive Choquet integrals, which merges correlated concepts into compact nodes. Across four datasets, CHOQOLATE achieves a favorable accuracy-interpretability trade-off, with weight-sparse and semantically coherent nodes. A closed-form gradient derivation, backed by experiments, explains why Choquet layers drive this organization without explicit supervision. Choquet weights also map directly to Shapley values, which enables test-time intervention. On standard bias-mitigation benchmarks, suppressing spurious concepts after training performs on par with methods that require group annotations or retraining, while needing neither.

ByteTraX: Enhancing the ByteTrack Architecture with Optimised Thresholding
ByteTraX：通过优化阈值增强ByteTrack架构
Abstract
The ByteTrack algorithm is a widely used and computationally efficient multi-object tracking architecture. Its core innovation lies in the combination of lenient bounding box associations with tracklet similarity matching to robustly deal with object occlusions. However, this strategy is nevertheless vulnerable to erroneous track reclassification and identity switching, as detection confidence scores dictate association priority. To address this, I present a simple enhancement of the ByteTrack architecture, named ByteTraX, that optimises track continuity via a single unified matching threshold, while penalising identity switches through stringent track initiation criteria. This approach achieves consistently improved performance across a range of diverse benchmarks including GMOT-40, LC-MOT, SportsMOT, TeamTrack, DAMUNT, and DeepSea-MOT, while simultaneously increasing processing speed by >10%. Specifically, results demonstrate a >40% reduction in identity switches, accompanied by mean increases in HOTA of 3.6, IDF1 of 5.6, and FPS of 6.3. As such, adoption of the ByteTraX algorithm has the potential to substantially enhance tracking performance over the ByteTrack baseline, while retaining the efficiency needed for real-time deployment. To facilitate usage, I provide the source code, integration functionality for the YOLO family of object detection models, and deployment instructions via an open source repository.

Pixel-Level Transformers in Remote Sensing: A Canopy Height Case Study
遥感中的像素级变换器：冠层高度案例研究
Abstract
Predicting canopy height from medium-resolution satellite imagery is a common and scalable approach for assessing the condition of the world's forests, which play a crucial role in climate change mitigation. While Transformer-based architectures have shown strong performance in many domains, their straightforward application to dense (i.e., pixel-level) regression tasks often yields suboptimal results. In particular, the patch size has a crucial impact on the model performance. In this work, we consider pixel-level attention schemes and show that the resulting models generally outperform those relying on larger patch sizes. However, pixel-level attention can be a prohibitively resource-intensive operation. For this reason, we conduct an extensive experimental study using efficient attention variants to identify favorable trade-offs between prediction quality and resource requirements, facilitating the practical deployment of the proposed models. In addition, we perform a comprehensive comparison with several well-established models in the field and show that, with suitable hyperparameter choices, Transformer-based architectures can outperform competing approaches. Our findings provide practical guidance for designing models for pixel-level regression tasks on medium-resolution satellite imagery, including canopy height and biomass estimation, soil moisture mapping, and yield forecasting.

WINGS: Reference-Free Gaussian Splatting Inpainting with 3D-Native Generative Priors
WINGS：基于参考无关的高斯溅射修复与3D原生生成先验
Abstract
Inpainting 3D Gaussian Splatting scenes, a key challenge in 3D editing, requires generating plausible content within a masked region of 3D space. Prior approaches rely on 2D diffusion models to produce one or several inpainted reference views, making them susceptible to challenges associated with multi-view inconsistency and lengthy optimization times. Departing from these approaches, we introduce a reference-free Gaussian splatting inpainting method operating natively in 3D. Our method leverages the embedding space of a large, pre-trained 3D prior, combined with a structure completion network to feed a generative prior which reconstructs the missing region's geometry and appearance. Performing content generation entirely in 3D, it avoids the need to reconcile inconsistencies of multiple inpainted reference images, and is faster than related 2D-based methods. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method qualitatively and quantitatively, through extensive experiments and a user study. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first Gaussian splatting inpainting method to operate in the learned representation space of a 3D-native generative prior without relying on inpainted reference views.

Minkowski Attractor Networks: Closed-Form Hyperbolic Flows for Visual Representations
闵可夫斯基吸引子网络：用于视觉表示的封闭形式超曲面流
Abstract
Geometric representation learning predominantly scaffolds representations onto flat Euclidean subspaces or compact product tori ($\mathbb{T}^K$). However, flat manifolds possess vanishing curvature and polynomial volume growth, inherently suffering from metric distortion when embedding multi-scale, tree-like visual hierarchies. While hyperbolic spaces ($\mathbb{H}^m$) circumvent this via constant negative curvature ($K<0$) and exponential volume expansion, prior hyperbolic deep architectures are hindered by computationally cumbersome Riemannian optimization, non-linear gyrovector calculus, and floating-point instabilities. In this work, we introduce \textbf{Minkowski Attractor Networks (MAN)}, an operator-splitting-inspired framework that embeds representations within pseudo-Riemannian Minkowski spacetime ($\mathbb{R}^{1,m}$). By framing hyperbolic manifolds as quadric level sets, MAN resolves hyperbolic geometry by combining linear Lorentz group transport with non-linear cone lifting and closed-form radial rescaling, evaluating in a single forward pass without numerical ODE solvers or iterative retractions. We establish \textbf{MAN-2D} ($\mathbb{R}^{1,1} \to \mathbb{H}^1$) as our primary, high-throughput visual backbone, which maximizes channel factorization granularity into $D/2$ independent two-dimensional Minkowski blocks. We further formulate \textbf{MAN-4D} ($\mathbb{R}^{1,3} \to \mathbb{H}^3$) as a spacetime extension, leveraging a commuting Cartan-subalgebra parameterization of $\mathrm{SO}^+(1,3)$ to evaluate 4D Lorentz isometries via two commuting 2D planar maps without matrix-exponential overhead.

ReCaVSR: One-Step Streaming Diffusion Video Super-Resolution with Recycled Latents and Learned Cache Routing
ReCaVSR：基于回收潜变量和学习缓存路由的一步流媒体扩散视频超分辨率
Abstract
Real-time diffusion-based video super-resolution (VSR) is in high demand for online streaming, yet stringent latency requirements often compromise generative fidelity. We propose ReCaVSR, a Wan2.2-based, one-step framework for streaming VSR that builds on two observations: recycled SR latents retain local temporal context, reducing the need for full historical Key-Value (KV) caches; and individual transformer layers benefit from distinct temporal scopes. ReCaVSR combines three complementary designs: (i) layer-wise cache routing with recycled SR latents: each DiT layer learns its KV-cache temporal scope under a cache budget and exports a static inference schedule, while recycled SR latents propagate local context by conditioning each new block on the model's own preceding predictions. (ii) Multi-Scope Query (MSQ) Discriminator: a compositional discriminator combining global, spatial-window, and temporal-tube feedback for holistic realism, local texture generation, and temporal stability. (iii) LR-conditioned adaptation of FlashDecoder: a VAE decoder that incorporates LR observations for efficient latent decoding. ReCaVSR enables streaming VSR without iterative sampling or full historical KV-cache materialization.

实时基于扩散的视频超分辨率（VSR）在在线流媒体中需求旺盛，但严格的延迟要求往往会妨碍生成的真实感。我们提出了ReCaVSR，这是一个基于Wan2.2的一步流媒体VSR框架，建立在两个观察基础上：回收的超分辨率潜变量保留了局部时间上下文，从而减少了对完整历史键值（Key-Value, KV）缓存的需求；而单个变换器层则受益于不同的时间范围。ReCaVSR结合了三种互补设计：（i）基于回收超分辨率潜变量的层级缓存路由：每个DiT层在缓存预算下学习其KV缓存的时间范围，并导出静态推理计划，而回收的超分辨率潜变量通过将每个新块的条件设定在模型自身的前置预测上来传播局部上下文。（ii）多范围查询（Multi-Scope Query, MSQ）鉴别器：一个组合鉴别器，结合了全局、空间窗口和时间管道反馈，以实现整体真实感、局部纹理生成和时间稳定性。（iii）基于低分辨率（LR）条件的FlashDecoder适应：一个变分自编码器（VAE）解码器，结合了LR观察以实现高效的潜变量解码。ReCaVSR使得流媒体VSR无需迭代采样或完整的历史KV缓存物化。在合成和真实世界的VSR基准测试中，实验显示其感知质量、时间一致性和流媒体效率均优于代表性的VSR基线。在单个NVIDIA A100-80GB上，以$1080{ imes}1920$的输出分辨率，ReCaVSR以21.20 FPS的速度运行，峰值分配的GPU内存为15.16 GB，运行速度比FlashVSR Tiny快2.72倍，同时使用的峰值分配内存减少了38.0%。代码可在https://github.com/kopperx/ReCaVSR获取。

Evaluation Choices Shape Biomedical ML Claims: A Pediatric Pneumonia Benchmark Case Study
评估选择塑造生物医学机器学习声明：一个儿科肺炎基准案例研究
Abstract
Biomedical machine learning papers often compress model performance into one headline number. That number can look like a property of the model even when it depends strongly on how the benchmark was evaluated. We study this problem on the widely used Kermany pediatric chest radiograph dataset using nine image classifiers and a controlled evaluation protocol. Under the same protocol, the eight pretrained backbones differ by only 0.026 AUROC. In contrast, changing whether the backbone is frozen or fine-tuned changes AUROC by 0.044 on average, and changing the decision threshold changes balanced accuracy by 0.090 on average. The official test split is also measurably different from the training pool: a partition classifier distinguishes them at AUC 0.697, rising to 0.898 for normal radiographs. Most strikingly, a classifier using only file properties, with no image anatomy, reaches 0.992 balanced accuracy within the training pool but falls to 0.496 on the official test split. Validation-fitted thresholds and calibration also transfer imperfectly. These results show that a high benchmark score can support different conclusions when the split, training policy, threshold, metric, calibration, and uncertainty are not communicated with it. We end with a seven-item reporting recommendation in which each item is tied to an effect measured in the study

生物医学机器学习论文通常将模型性能压缩为一个标题数字。这个数字看似是模型的一个属性，尽管它实际上强烈依赖于基准评估的方式。我们在广泛使用的Kermany儿科胸部X光数据集上研究了这个问题，使用了九种图像分类器和一个受控评估协议。在相同的协议下，八个预训练骨干网络的AUROC仅相差0.026。相比之下，改变骨干网络是冻结还是微调，平均会使AUROC变化0.044，而改变决策阈值平均会使平衡准确率变化0.090。官方测试集与训练池在可测量上也存在差异：一个分区分类器在AUC为0.697的情况下能够区分它们，对于正常X光片则上升至0.898。最引人注目的是，仅使用文件属性而不考虑图像解剖结构的分类器，在训练池内达到了0.992的平衡准确率，但在官方测试集中降至0.496。经过验证的阈值和校准也并不完美转移。这些结果表明，当分割、训练策略、阈值、度量、校准和不确定性未与高基准分数一同传达时，可能支持不同的结论。最后，我们提出了七项报告建议，每一项都与研究中测量的效果相关联。

RelayVSR: Large-Small Model Collaboration for Efficient Real-World Video Super-Resolution
RelayVSR：大小模型协作实现高效的真实世界视频超分辨率
Abstract
Large generative models can recover realistic detail in real-world video super-resolution (VSR), but processing an entire video with them is computationally expensive. In this work, we present RelayVSR, a streaming VSR framework built on the Sparse Generative Relay mechanism. A large generative model generates reference latents for sparse keyframes, while a lightweight VSR network uses these references and low-resolution video to super-resolve every frame. The lightweight VSR network, implemented as a Dual-Memory Video Transformer, reuses keyframe information across frames and updates recent video context, supporting first-keyframe conditioning and dual-endpoint conditioning with bounded lookahead. However, errors in shared keyframes can propagate and accumulate across output frames, making keyframe quality alone an insufficient optimization target. We address this collaboration gap with Video-Aware Reference Optimization (VARO), which uses reinforcement learning to update the large generative model with two reward levels: a system-level reward evaluates videos produced by the fixed lightweight VSR network, while a reference-level reward evaluates decoded keyframe quality. VARO improves final video quality over direct joint training, and its dual-level rewards outperform a system-level reward alone. At 1080p on a single NVIDIA A100 80GB, dual-endpoint RelayVSR with a 15-frame keyframe interval reaches 29.29 FPS, 13.82 GB peak GPU memory, and 0.327 s first-frame model latency, compared with 7.80 FPS, 24.447 GB, and 2.83 s for FlashVSR-Tiny.

大型生成模型能够在真实世界的视频超分辨率（VSR）中恢复逼真的细节，但使用它们处理整个视频的计算成本很高。在本研究中，我们提出了RelayVSR，一种基于稀疏生成中继机制的流式VSR框架。大型生成模型为稀疏关键帧生成参考潜变量，而轻量级VSR网络利用这些参考和低分辨率视频对每一帧进行超分辨率处理。轻量级VSR网络以双存储视频变换器（Dual-Memory Video Transformer）实现，跨帧重用关键帧信息并更新最近的视频上下文，支持首关键帧条件和具有有限前瞻的双端点条件。然而，共享关键帧中的错误可能在输出帧之间传播和累积，使得仅优化关键帧质量不足以解决这一协作差距。我们通过视频感知参考优化（Video-Aware Reference Optimization, VARO）来解决这一问题，该方法使用强化学习以两级奖励更新大型生成模型：系统级奖励评估由固定轻量级VSR网络生成的视频，而参考级奖励评估解码的关键帧质量。VARO在最终视频质量上优于直接联合训练，其双级奖励也优于单一的系统级奖励。在1080p分辨率下，使用15帧关键帧间隔的双端点RelayVSR在单个NVIDIA A100 80GB上达到29.29 FPS，峰值GPU内存为13.82 GB，首帧模型延迟为0.327秒，而FlashVSR-Tiny则为7.80 FPS、24.447 GB和2.83秒。代码可在 https://github.com/kopperx/RelayVSR 获取。

FlowMap-OPD: Rollout--Kernel Separation for On-Policy Distillation of Few-Step Flow-Map Generators
FlowMap-OPD：用于少步流图生成器的策略蒸馏的展开-内核分离
Abstract
Few-step flow-map generators, including MeanFlow and consistency models, enable efficient sampling through long-range transport, yet their on-policy distillation remains underexplored. We introduce FlowMap-OPD, an on-policy distillation framework that separates student-state acquisition from teacher--student distribution comparison. A formulation based on state marginals establishes this separation, while flow--velocity consistency connects local supervision to the deployed long-range map. Within this framework, we develop flow-map, induced-velocity, and instantaneous-velocity distribution supervision, each paired with a separately specified native flow-map rollout. Cross-capacity ImageNet experiments across three teacher rewards identify instantaneous-velocity distribution supervision with independently tunable student consistency as the most effective choice. In text-to-image experiments, FlowMap-OPD demonstrates strong multi-specialist consolidation capabilities and surpasses multi-reward Flow-Map GRPO in task performance and convergence speed.

HandAnthro: Automated Hand Anthropometry from a Single Image
HandAnthro：基于单幅图像的自动化手部人类测量
Abstract
Hand anthropometry supports protective-glove design, but existing measurement methods often require trained operators, specialized hardware, or manual landmarking. We present HandAnthro, which estimates 44 projected hand dimensions from a smartphone photograph of a palm-up hand on US letter-size paper. The pipeline reconstructs wrist-occluded paper boundaries for rectification, whitens non-hand pixels, and refines 41 anthropometry-specific landmarks from a fine-tuned You Only Look Once (YOLO) pose model using image-specific geometry and contours. Controlled evaluation comprised 720 captures from 45 held-out participants, each contributing 16 images across two smartphones, two backgrounds, two angles, and two nominal illumination settings. HandAnthro produced complete outputs for 704 captures (97.8%); among these, mean absolute error (MAE) was 3.80 mm per dimension against two trained operators' caliper measurements. Regional MAEs were 2.48 mm for non-thumb fingers, 6.04 mm for thumbs, and 6.17 mm for palm and wrist. In a researcher-assisted mobile-app pilot, automated batch processing returned all 44 dimensions for 260 of 268 retained, researcher-screened firefighter images (97.0%). A descriptive, unpaired comparison with an independent national firefighter reference yielded a mean absolute difference of 2.40 mm across 28 sex-by-dimension group-mean contrasts. These results characterize controlled measurement performance and researcher-assisted field feasibility for future distributed hand-anthropometry studies.

Learning from synthetic photorealistic raindrop for single image raindrop removal
基于合成照片级真实雨滴的单幅图像雨滴去除学习
Abstract
Raindrops adhered to camera lens or windshield are inevitable in rainy scenes and can become an issue for many computer vision systems such as autonomous driving. Because raindrop appearance is affected by too many parameters, therefore it is unlikely to find an effective model based solution. Learning based methods are also problematic, because traditional learning method cannot properly model the complex appearance. Whereas deep learning method lacks sufficiently large and realistic training data. To solve it, in our work, we propose the first photo-realistic dataset of synthetic adherent raindrops for training. The rendering is physics based with consideration of the water dynamic, geometric and photometry. The dataset contains various types of rainy scenes and particularly the rainy driving scenes. Based on the modeling of raindrop imagery, we introduce a detection network which has the awareness of the raindrop refraction as well as its blurring. Based on that, we propose the removal network that can well recover the image structure. Rigorous experiments demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of our proposed framework.

EndoPrior-GS: Dynamic Endoscopic Reconstruction with a Joint Texture Prior
EndoPrior-GS：具有联合纹理先验的动态内窥镜重建
Abstract
Dynamic endoscopic reconstruction is fundamental to robotic surgery and computer-assisted interventions. While 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) realises real-time rendering, its application to deformable intraoperative environments remains constrained by spurious geometry and varying illuminations. To address these limitations, we introduce EndoPrior-GS, a novel pipeline that explicitly couples frame-extracted vision heuristics and estimated depth maps. EndoPrior-GS derives a joint texture prior from a tool-filtered valid tissue mask, a non-specular photometric filter, and anatomical structural salience, yielding a probability map that guides primitive initialisation and subsequent density control. The prior is further extended to the temporal domain through a texture-aware term that dynamically weighs pairwise primitive contributions during training. We conduct extensive experiments on benchmark datasets EndoNeRF and SCARED, and the obtained results show that our method EndoPrior-GS reduces Flow Error by 27.7% and 25.8% over the representative approaches while preserving competitive rendering quality and real-time rendering speed.

Visual Branch is What You Need for CLIP-based Class-Incremental Learning
视觉分支是基于CLIP的类增量学习所需的
Abstract
Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) requires models to recognize new classes over time without forgetting previously learned ones. With the rise of vision-language pre-training, CLIP has become a strong foundation for CIL. A common design in CLIP-based CIL is to construct textual classifier weights by encoding class-name templates with the CLIP text encoder, and then classify visual features by image-text cosine similarity. This design is appealing: since CLIP aligns images and text in a shared embedding space, textual weights appear to provide an off-the-shelf classifier for incremental classes. However, we show that this seemingly natural design is not always beneficial, as a modality gap can still separate the two modalities and make textual classifier weights deviate from visual class distributions. Empirically, under identical task-wise CIL training, initializing the cosine classifier with visual class centers yields lower loss and better incremental accuracy than using CLIP textual features.Motivated by these observations, we propose VIS, a visual-only method for CLIP-based CIL that removes the deployed textual branch and constructs the incremental classifier entirely in the visual space. To obtain stronger task-adaptive visual representations, VISuses only base-session data to enhance CLIP's final visual representation with informative visual-layer features. Built on the enhanced visual representation, VISemploys a simple kernelized incremental least-squares SVM, whose classifier weights are solved in closed form from additive sufficient statistics. When new classes arrive, VISaccumulates their sufficient statistics and recomputes the classifier weights for all seen classes, enabling efficient incremental updates while preserving historical class knowledge. Extensive experiments show that VISachieves state-of-the-art performance without a textual branch.

类增量学习（CIL）要求模型能够随着时间的推移识别新类别，而不忘记之前学习的类别。随着视觉-语言预训练的兴起，CLIP已成为CIL的强大基础。在基于CLIP的CIL中，一个常见的设计是通过使用CLIP文本编码器对类别名称模板进行编码来构建文本分类器权重，然后通过图像-文本余弦相似度对视觉特征进行分类。这个设计很有吸引力：由于CLIP将图像和文本对齐到共享的嵌入空间中，文本权重似乎为增量类别提供了现成的分类器。然而，我们表明，这种看似自然的设计并不总是有利，因为模态差距仍然可能使两种模态分离，并使文本分类器权重偏离视觉类别分布。在相同任务的CIL训练下，实证结果表明，使用视觉类别中心初始化余弦分类器的损失更低，增量准确性更好，优于使用CLIP文本特征。基于这些观察，我们提出了VIS，一种仅基于视觉的CLIP-CIL方法，去除了部署的文本分支，并完全在视觉空间中构建增量分类器。为了获得更强的任务自适应视觉表示，VIS仅使用基础会话数据，通过信息丰富的视觉层特征增强CLIP的最终视觉表示。在增强的视觉表示基础上，VIS采用简单的核化增量最小二乘支持向量机（SVM），其分类器权重通过加法充分统计量以闭式形式求解。当新类别到来时，VIS累积它们的充分统计量，并重新计算所有已见类别的分类器权重，从而实现高效的增量更新，同时保留历史类别知识。大量实验表明，VIS在没有文本分支的情况下实现了最先进的性能。

ReCAP: Retrieval-Guided Capability Reuse for Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning
ReCAP：基于检索的多模态持续指令调优能力重用
Abstract
Multimodal continual instruction tuning (MCIT) aims to enable multimodal large language models to acquire new capabilities from sequential tasks while preserving previously learned knowledge. Existing methods primarily mitigate catastrophic forgetting by constraining parameter updates or separating task-specific adaptations. However, continual adaptation can also benefit from external knowledge that provides domain-specific information and reusable reasoning patterns for solving diverse instructions. For example, to answer "How many red cubes are to the left of the sphere?", domain knowledge can provide relevant concepts about objects and spatial relations, while reasoning knowledge can specify ordered operations such as object recognition, spatial filtering, and counting. Despite this potential, how to leverage external knowledge for continual adaptation remains largely unexplored in existing MCIT methods. To this end, we propose ReCAP, a retrieval-guided framework that leverages external knowledge to guide capability reuse during continual adaptation. At each continual stage, ReCAP uses external search and an LLM to incrementally build a knowledge base of domain, reasoning, and format knowledge based on the current-stage training data. For each instruction, retrieved domain knowledge guides generation, while retrieved reasoning knowledge selects and orders capability modules to form an instance-specific capability path. As these capability modules are reused across stages, subsequent adaptation can overwrite previously learned parameters. To enable stable cross-stage reuse, ReCAP introduces adaptive subspace recycling, which parameterizes reusable capability modules with shared bases and stage-specific cores, protects historically important directions while recycling residual capacity. Extensive experiments on MCIT benchmarks show that ReCAP achieves SOTA performance.

多模态持续指令调优（MCIT）旨在使多模态大型语言模型能够从连续任务中获取新能力，同时保留先前学习的知识。现有方法主要通过限制参数更新或分离任务特定的适应来减轻灾难性遗忘。然而，持续适应也可以受益于提供领域特定信息和可重用推理模式的外部知识，以解决多样化的指令。例如，为了回答“球体左侧有多少个红色立方体？”，领域知识可以提供关于物体和空间关系的相关概念，而推理知识可以指定有序操作，如物体识别、空间过滤和计数。尽管存在这种潜力，如何利用外部知识进行持续适应在现有的MCIT方法中仍然未得到充分探索。为此，我们提出了ReCAP，一个基于检索的框架，利用外部知识指导持续适应过程中的能力重用。在每个持续阶段，ReCAP使用外部搜索和大型语言模型（LLM）根据当前阶段的训练数据逐步构建领域、推理和格式知识的知识库。对于每个指令，检索到的领域知识指导生成，而检索到的推理知识选择并排序能力模块，以形成特定实例的能力路径。由于这些能力模块在各个阶段之间被重用，后续的适应可以覆盖先前学习的参数。为了实现稳定的跨阶段重用，ReCAP引入了自适应子空间回收，通过共享基础和阶段特定核心对可重用能力模块进行参数化，保护历史重要方向，同时回收剩余能力。在MCIT基准上的大量实验表明，ReCAP达到了最先进的性能。

SYNCR: Diagnosing and Learning Cross-Video Reasoning from Simulation
SYNCR：从仿真中诊断和学习跨视频推理
Abstract
Reasoning across videos requires aligning events, matching identities, comparing motion, and integrating partial observations. Evaluating these capabilities and testing how to improve them requires both reliable labels and targeted supervision. We introduce SYNCR, a simulator-grounded framework that connects these two needs through shared task generators. Built on Habitat, Kubric, and CLEVRER, SYNCR derives answers from environment state and provides 4,000 evaluation questions and 15,960 training questions over disjoint videos, spanning eight cross-video reasoning tasks. Visual ablations and human evaluation assess dependence on the supplied evidence and answer recoverability. Evaluation of 22 multimodal large language models reveals persistent difficulties in physical comparison and scene integration that increasing model size does not consistently resolve. Supervised fine-tuning raises Qwen3-VL-8B's average SYNCR accuracy from 32.6% to 61.6%, with gains extending to task configurations and video sources absent from training for those tasks. Transfer to real footage is most consistent for temporal ordering: accuracy improves by 9.0-20.5 percentage points on constructed Assembly101 and Panoptic ordering sets across three checkpoints spanning two model families and two model sizes, with additional gains on existing temporal reasoning benchmarks. These results establish SYNCR as a controlled setting for diagnosing cross-video reasoning failures, testing their learnability, and identifying where synthetic supervision transfers.

EpiCon: Collective Agent Learning through Co-Evolving Multimodal Memory
EpiCon：通过共同进化的多模态记忆实现集体智能体学习
Abstract
Agents can learn from past executions, but enabling different agents to reuse and build on one another's experience remains challenging. We introduce EpiCon, a shared multimodal memory framework for agent collective learning without updating host model parameters. EpiCon links question-level memory evolution to a persistent experience bank through two independently trained 2B models: a memory controller and a tree self-organizer. The controller jointly refines textual guidance and visual evidence across attempts and selectively includes visual memory. The self-organizer consolidates lessons hierarchically and retrieves experience and rules for new problems. We evaluate EpiCon on eleven benchmarks spanning four multimodal task domains, using two harnesses and multiple backbones. A frozen bank improves other systems even with a single solving attempt. A second harness raises the original system's macro-average score by 2.6 points across eleven benchmarks. Across four host configurations, EpiCon improves macro-average scores by 1.7 to 4.9 points over No Memory and reduces memory-operation time by 67\% to 74\% relative to backbone-sized memory models.

Rollout-Marginal Distillation for Long-Horizon Autoregressive Video Generation
长时间序列自回归视频生成的回滚边际蒸馏
Abstract
Autoregressive (AR) video diffusion enables low-latency, streamable video generation, but prediction errors often accumulate over long rollouts. Training the generator on its own rollouts exposes it to these imperfect histories. However, existing video-level distribution matching distillation (DMD) scores the whole rollout jointly. Because a chunk is evaluated together with its past and future, its correction can favor matching artifacts in the surrounding context merely to preserve temporal consistency. To provide a clearer visual-quality signal, we introduce Rollout-Marginal Distillation (RMD). RMD retains the generated history for AR prediction but scores each chunk independently against a chunk teacher, ensuring its quality correction is not compromised by an imperfect temporal context. To compensate for the lack of temporal context in independent chunk scoring, RMD subsequently applies video-level DMD to restore temporal coherence. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RMD maintains high visual quality far beyond its training horizon and outperforms video-level DMD baselines. Code and video results are available at https://cjeen.github.io/RMD

Look Closer: Patch-wise Supervision for AI-Generated Image Detection
更近一步：基于补丁的监督用于AI生成图像检测
Abstract
How much of an image does a detector need to see? Small RGB regions can retain useful evidence of image synthesis even when they reveal little of the full scene. Motivated by single-patch detection, we study patch-wise supervision: a shared backbone classifies explicit crops, each crop receives its own loss, and patch probabilities are averaged only at inference. The procedure requires neither handcrafted residual filtering nor a learned image-level fusion module. Experiments span single-patch selection, multiple generator collections, and four CNN and Transformer backbones. On GenImage, the reported patch-wise variants improve average accuracy over their whole-image counterparts across all four backbones. Comparisons of supervision granularity, source resolution, crop size, and inference coverage further characterize the approach, while post-processing tests and difficult-image evaluation reveal its limitations. The historical experiments include evaluation-based model selection, so their scores are not presented as a uniformly selected leaderboard comparison. Overall, the study identifies explicit local input and patch-level supervision as a simple, useful combination for investigating generalizable AI-generated image detection.

Does Local Video Understanding Transfer Across Encounters? The EgoGears Benchmark
局部视频理解在不同场景间的迁移性研究：EgoGears基准测试
Abstract
Embodied systems must make knowledge acquired during one encounter usable in another despite changes in viewpoint, motion, and illumination. Yet aggregate cross-video accuracy conflates failures of local perception with failures to preserve observation identity, establish correspondence, and compose evidence, obscuring whether local video understanding actually transfers. We introduce EgoGears, a complementary single- and multi-video benchmark designed to diagnose this transition. It contains 567 single-video and 1,487 multi-video questions derived from 126 human-collected egocentric recordings covering 39 outdoor routes. Repeated traversals across movement speeds and lighting conditions ground comparisons in shared physical environments; 531 questions require alignment across independent recordings. Single-video questions measure the local visual, spatial, and motion evidence available to a model, while multi-video questions test whether evidence remains bound to the correct observation and can be composed into consistent route relationships. We report 29 single-video and 31 multi-video MLLM configurations across six model families in the main leaderboard. Among the 20 configurations evaluated comparably on both splits, every model performs worse on multi-video questions, with a mean decrease of 22.5 percentage points, and the gap persists when answer format and scoring are held fixed. The gap is not explained simply by additional videos or recording boundaries. The central bottlenecks are observation--evidence binding and ordered route-state tracking. The code and benchmark are publicly available at https://github.com/lei-qi-233/EgoGears.

具身系统必须使在一个场景中获得的知识能够在另一个场景中使用，尽管视角、运动和光照条件发生了变化。然而，整体跨视频准确性将局部感知的失败与观察身份的保持、对应关系的建立和证据的组合混为一谈，模糊了局部视频理解是否真正能够迁移。我们引入了EgoGears，这是一个旨在诊断这一转变的补充性单视频和多视频基准测试。该基准包含567个单视频问题和1,487个多视频问题，源自126个由人类收集的自我中心录音，涵盖39条户外路线。不同运动速度和光照条件下的重复遍历为共享物理环境中的比较奠定了基础；531个问题要求在独立录音之间进行对齐。单视频问题测量模型可用的局部视觉、空间和运动证据，而多视频问题则测试证据是否仍然与正确的观察绑定，并能否组合成一致的路线关系。我们在主要排行榜上报告了六个模型家族中的29个单视频和31个多视频的MLLM配置。在20个在两个分割上进行可比评估的配置中，每个模型在多视频问题上的表现均较差，平均下降22.5个百分点，当答案格式和评分保持不变时，这一差距依然存在。这个差距并不能简单地用额外的视频或录音边界来解释。主要瓶颈在于观察-证据绑定和有序路线状态跟踪。代码和基准测试可在https://github.com/lei-qi-233/EgoGears上公开获取。

SoL-Refiner: Speed-of-Light One-Step Refinement for High-Resolution Video
SoL-Refiner：光速一步精炼高分辨率视频
Abstract
High-resolution video generation is expensive, as its cost grows rapidly with the number of spatiotemporal tokens. A practical alternative first generates a lower-resolution video and then applies a refiner, but conventional multi-step refinement introduces a second sampling bottleneck. We present SoL-Refiner, a one-step video refiner that transforms low-resolution model outputs into 4K videos with a single denoising step. Our three-stage recipe combines high-resolution continual training, reinforcement learning (RL) post-training, and a final one-step distillation. We introduce Refiner-Bench, a video refinement benchmark constructed from the outputs of different video generators, and use a shared-input protocol to compare refiners at approximately 2K output resolution. At 2K, the one-step SoL-Refiner outperforms all external refiners on the VBench and UniPercept averages, while at $3840\!\times\!2176$ it improves both metrics over the three-step LTX-2.3 Refiner. With the complete acceleration stack, SoL-Refiner achieves an $8.91\times$ speedup in refinement latency over the same baseline in our 2K latency setting.

ORMA: Optimization-based Monocular 4D Reconstruction of Articulated Animals
ORMA：基于优化的单目四维重建关节动物
Abstract
Recovering articulated 4D representations of animals from monocular videos remains challenging due to the large diversity of quadruped morphologies and lack of animal 4D supervision data. Existing learning-based reconstruction methods operate on individual images and rely on synthetic or model-fitted 3D supervision, which inherits the constraints of strong parametric priors and limits generalization to out-of-distribution species. When applied to out-of-distribution animals, they often recover a plausible pose while producing inaccurate geometry because the underlying shape model cannot faithfully represent the observed instance. We present ORMA, a training-free reconstruction framework that decouples articulation from shape, using the predicted pose as reference for optimization while leveraging generative 3D priors for accurate shape reconstruction. Given a reference image, we reconstruct the animal geometry and register it to the parametric model SMAL+, yielding an articulated shape adapted to the observed instance. We then combine per-frame articulated pose estimates with globally consistent camera poses to recover animal motion in a shared world coordinate frame, and further refine the reconstruction using self-supervised DINO correspondences and temporal consistency. To enable quantitative evaluation, we introduce PAW4D, a synthetic multi-species benchmark with ground-truth 3D geometry and camera motion. Experiments on PAW4D, PFERD, and challenging in-the-wild videos demonstrate that ORMA improves reconstruction accuracy while recovering globally consistend animal motion across diverse quadruped species.

从单目视频中恢复关节动物的四维表示仍然具有挑战性，这主要是由于四足动物形态的多样性以及缺乏动物四维监督数据。现有的基于学习的重建方法通常在单独的图像上操作，并依赖于合成或模型拟合的三维监督，这继承了强参数先验的限制，并限制了对分布外物种的泛化。当应用于分布外动物时，它们通常能够恢复出合理的姿态，但生成的不准确几何形状是因为底层形状模型无法真实地表示观察到的实例。我们提出了ORMA，一个无训练的重建框架，它将关节运动与形状解耦，使用预测的姿态作为优化的参考，同时利用生成的三维先验进行准确的形状重建。给定参考图像，我们重建动物几何形状并将其注册到参数模型SMAL+，从而得到适应于观察实例的关节形状。然后，我们将每帧的关节姿态估计与全局一致的相机姿态结合，以在共享的世界坐标系中恢复动物运动，并进一步利用自监督的DINO对应关系和时间一致性来精细化重建。为了实现定量评估，我们引入了PAW4D，一个具有真实三维几何和相机运动的合成多物种基准。对PAW4D、PFERD以及具有挑战性的野外视频的实验表明，ORMA在恢复多样四足物种的全球一致动物运动的同时，提高了重建的准确性。

HybridCUA: Learning to Orchestrate GUI and CLI for Computer-Use Agents
HybridCUA：学习为计算机使用代理协调图形用户界面和命令行界面
Abstract
Computer use agents (CUAs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in completing digital tasks. However, existing CUAs either rely solely on graphical user interface (GUI) interactions, which are often inefficient and error prone, or augment GUI interactions with application specific APIs or tools, which require substantial engineering effort and are difficult to scale across applications. We argue that the next generation of CUAs should combine GUI interactions with the command line interface (CLI), leveraging the generality of the GUI and the efficiency of shell commands. A critical challenge, however, is that current models do not know when or how to use the CLI during task execution. To address this challenge, we develop a data construction pipeline that produces three types of trajectories: GUI only, CLI only, and interleaved GUI and CLI trajectories. This pipeline results in HybridCUA-8K, containing 5K hybrid trajectories and 3K verified RLVR tasks. Building on these data, we propose a training framework with two stages: supervised fine tuning on the constructed trajectories, followed by reinforcement learning with our CLI aware rewards that encourages agents to use the CLI selectively and reliably. Experiments show that HybridCUA-9B achieves 53.6% accuracy on OSWorld, improving over the base model by 14.8 percentage points, and improves performance on WindowsAgentArena by 4.0 percentage points. These results demonstrate the effectiveness and cross platform generalizability of the hybrid GUI and CLI paradigm for computer use agents.

From Unity Simulation to Diffusion-Based Augmentation: Quantifying Dataset Balance for Robust Object Detection
从Unity模拟到基于扩散的增强：量化数据集平衡以实现稳健的目标检测
Abstract
Modern computer vision models achieve high accuracy when trained on large-scale annotated datasets. In critical domains such as construction safety monitoring, data collection is costly, hazardous, and ethically constrained. This paper presents a systematic study comparing two complementary data generation paradigms, (1) Unity Simulation-based rendering and (2) Controllable Diffusion-based generation (CIA), for object detection under real data-scarce conditions. A unified experimental framework enables controlled dataset mixing across real, simulated, and generative sources, while maintaining identical model and training settings. Quantitative evaluation using Precision, Recall, mAP, and custom $\Delta$-metrics, reveals that neither simulation nor generative augmentation alone achieves optimal transferability. Unity-only training yields an
[email protected] drop of $-50\%$ relative to real data, while CIA-only training shows a milder $-16.5\%$ degradation. Hybrid compositions significantly improve performance, with the 90\% real + 10\% Unity configuration achieving the best overall
[email protected] of $62.68\%$ ($+7.64\%$ over baseline), and the 90\% real + 10\% CIA configuration maximizing precision at $74.45\%$. Results demonstrate that limited synthetic inclusion enhances generalization, while excessive substitution induces domain drift.

Beyond Lip Sync: Reference-Grounded Oral Refinement for Audio-Driven Portrait Animation
超越唇动同步：基于参考的口腔细化用于音频驱动的人物动画
Abstract
We present RGOR (Reference-Grounded Oral Refinement), an audio-driven lip-sync framework that renders the mouth of the specific person being dubbed rather than a generic one. Existing lip-sync systems follow the audio closely and keep the face recognizable, yet the mouth they render is an average mouth: the shape and texture of the lips, the arrangement of the teeth, and how much of them shows as the mouth opens are not that person's. The problem persists because nothing in current training or evaluation asks for the person's own mouth: perceptual losses accept any plausible mouth, face identity is carried mostly by the skin around it, and the released inference code of inpainting systems uses the unmasked target frame as the reference, which hides the gap. To address this, RGOR conditions every generated frame on frames from separate enrollment recordings of the same person and on HD patches of the mouth that bypass the VAE, and trains the generator against a paired judge that compares each rendered mouth with the person's reference and learns to reject a realistic mouth of someone else. We further build an evaluation protocol and use it to compare open-source and commercial lip-sync systems on held-out identities. Experiments show that RGOR achieves the best or second-best result on most metrics, and preserves the person's own lip and dental detail while keeping synchronization and the rest of the face intact.

EVO-WAM: Evolving World Action Models through Video-Action Verification
EVO-WAM：通过视频-动作验证演化世界动作模型
Abstract
Improving robot policies on new tasks without collecting additional expert demonstrations remains a central challenge in robot learning. World action models (WAMs) use broad video priors to jointly predict future videos and actions, offering a potential source of supervision for adapting to new tasks. However, generated videos may fail to depict task completion, and even visually successful videos may be paired with inconsistent actions that lead to execution failure. We propose EVO-WAM, a framework that adapts WAMs to unseen tasks by learning from their own generated video-action trajectories, without executing candidate actions in an external environment. First, we augment WAM training with state prediction and anchored multi-frame context to enable complete autoregressive rollouts without external execution feedback. Second, we identify reliable training experience by selecting task-completing prefixes with a vision-language model and verifying their video-action consistency with an inverse dynamics model. Third, we iteratively train the WAM on verified prefixes and generate new rollouts with the updated model. On seven unseen RoboTwin 2.0 tasks, EVO-WAM increases average success rates from 26.9% to 68.0% for Cosmos3 and from 28.5% to 46.4% for DreamZero, reaching approximately $2.5\times$ and $1.6\times$ their initial success rates. On three unseen long-horizon composite tasks in the real world, it improves Cosmos3's average success rate from 20.0% to 76.7%, a gain of 56.7 percentage points.

RS-OPSD: Reliable Privileged On-Policy-Self-Distillation for Ultra-High-Resolution Remote Sensing VQA
RS-OPSD：超高分辨率遥感视觉问答的可靠特权在线自蒸馏
Abstract
Ultra-high-resolution (UHR) remote sensing visual question answering (VQA) requires models to resolve small visual evidence within extremely large images. Existing approaches typically rely on token pruning, visual search, or tool-augmented reasoning at inference time. We instead investigate whether the benefit of zoom-in visual privilege can be internalized into the model. We introduce RS-OPSD, a reliable privileged on-policy self-distillation (OPSD) framework for UHR remote sensing VQA. To provide high-quality privileged information with explicit question-relevant evidence, we construct GeoEvidence-6K, containing 6,750 VQA samples across seven task categories with evidence-region annotations, and develop Human Feedback-Guided Skill Refinement (HF-SR) for scalable annotation. To address context loss from tight crops and conflicting signals from imperfect teachers, RS-OPSD introduces Context-Preserving Visual Privilege (CPVP) and Correctness-Aligned Distillation (CAD). Without any additional visual search or tool calls at inference time, RS-OPSD achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on XLRS-Bench, MME-RealWorld-RS, and LRS-VQA, outperforming pervious SOTA models of comparable scale by an average of 4.0 percentage points. Moreover, our 2B variant, RS-OPD-Lite, surpasses most 8B-scale models while achieving the fastest measured inference speed. Our Code, GeoEvidence-6K, and the model weights for RS-OPSD and RS-OPD-Lite are publicly available.

MUGEN: Interactive Panoramic World Exploration via Camera Control
MUGEN：通过相机控制进行互动全景世界探索
Abstract
Interactive panoramic video generation aims to synthesize immersive 360\textdegree{} videos that remain visually coherent while following user-specified camera trajectories during exploration. However, progress is limited by a coupled data-and-model gap: existing panoramic video datasets are often short, weakly annotated, or lack camera trajectories, while existing camera-controlled video generation models are designed for perspective videos and do not directly support panoramic geometry. In this paper, we introduce MUGEN and Wan360 to address these limitations. MUGEN is a large-scale real-world panoramic video dataset tailored to interactive 360-degree world exploration, comprising over 1,300 hours of at least 4K panoramic videos with rich semantic and geometric annotations. Built on MUGEN, we further present Wan360, a camera-controllable interactive panoramic video generation model. Panoramic videos are commonly represented by EquiRectangular Projection (ERP), which unfolds a spherical 360-degree view into a rectangular frame with cyclic longitude seams and pole distortions. To this end, Wan360 introduces three parameter-free ERP-aware components: periodic longitude RoPE for seam-consistent positional encoding, ERP-aware padding for reducing boundary artifacts, and random roll yaw for consistent learning. For camera control, Wan360 uses a panoramic Pl\"ucker embedding that represents camera motion with ERP rays rather than perspective pinhole rays. Experiments show that MUGEN serves as a data foundation for panoramic world exploration, and that Wan360 enables high-quality, temporally coherent, camera-controllable 360-degree video generation.

OmniTaskonomy: When Does Visual Generation Improve Visual Understanding?
全任务分类学：视觉生成何时改善视觉理解？
Abstract
Training a model to generate visual content can encourage it to learn rich perceptual capabilities related to geometry, spatial relationships, and objectness; yet, its benefits for visual understanding remain unclear. We ask: when and how does visual generation supervision improve visual understanding? We study controlled pairs of image-to-image (I2I) generation and image-to-text (I2T) understanding tasks that express the same underlying problem in different output modalities. We find that under the correct recipe, I2I training improves downstream I2T performance, with larger gains as the amount of I2I training data increases. We next ask which generation tasks benefit which understanding capabilities. To study transfer beyond paired tasks, we introduce OmniTaskonomy, a unified taxonomy spanning 19 I2I generation tasks and 25 I2T understanding capabilities. The resulting transfer map reveals selective, task-dependent benefits. Some follow intuitive correspondences, e.g., depth prediction improving metric 3D reasoning, object pointing improving counting, and jigsaw reconstruction improving 2D ordering. Interestingly, we also uncover surprising connections: 2.5D segmentation improving category recognition and Z-depth prediction improving localization. To probe these patterns, we analyze gradient alignment between generation and understanding tasks and find that stronger alignment is associated with larger downstream transfer gains. Together, our results highlight visual generation as a rich source of supervision for visual understanding and provide a roadmap for unlocking its benefits through the right training curriculum and task selection.

VISTA: Internalizing Collective Visual Experience via On-Policy Distillation for Active Multimodal Agents
VISTA：通过在线蒸馏内化集体视觉经验以支持主动多模态智能体
Abstract
Active multimodal agents use visual tools to acquire task-relevant evidence while reasoning. Although reinforcement learning samples multiple interaction trajectories per input, outcome-based objectives primarily use the group to estimate scalar advantages, leaving complementary visual discoveries underused. We introduce VISTA, which internalizes collective visual experience through on-policy distillation by turning observations from same-input rollouts into shared supervision. Collective visual experience distillation (CVED) organizes these observations with their interaction context and aligns them with individual decisions, while heterogeneity-aware policy improvement (HAPI) reinforces successful trajectories and provides experience-guided distillation for unsuccessful attempts. An experience-conditioned teacher evaluates the student's sampled response prefixes, allowing discoveries from one trajectory to guide learning in another without replacing the student's original history or generating new target trajectories. The trained agent retains its visual tools and acts using its own interaction history. VISTA achieves the strongest average performance among the evaluated active multimodal agents of comparable size and consistently outperforms same-backbone training baselines across fine-grained perception and general reasoning tasks, demonstrating the value of collective experience for active multimodal learning.

Self-Aligned Forcing: Streaming Video Diffusion with Differentiable Noisy History
自对齐强制：具有可微噪声历史的流媒体视频扩散
Abstract
Autoregressive video diffusion enables interactive streaming generation, but suffers from error accumulation over long rollouts. Self-rollout training reduces exposure bias, yet finite rollouts leave long-range drift unresolved. We observe that the noise level of the history key-value (K/V) representations trades visual quality against motion, and that restoring gradients through the history aligns causal training far more closely with bidirectional training. Motivated by these observations, we introduce Self-Aligned Forcing (SAF), a training scheme that aligns the history of each block with the noise level of the block being denoised. Specifically, the history is the K/V produced by preceding blocks at the same denoising stage, so all blocks at a stage can be denoised in a single forward pass under a causal mask. This keeps the noisy history differentiable, allowing future losses to optimize how it is encoded. SAF therefore avoids a separate no-gradient rollout and per-block timestep-zero recaching, training up to 1.8x faster than prior methods with lower memory. At inference, SAF achieves the highest single-GPU throughput among existing methods and keeps one history bank per stage for a multi-GPU pipeline, reaching 49.1 FPS on 4 GPUs. Experiments show superior long-horizon generation with a better balance between visual quality and motion. Project page: https://anonymous.4open.science/w/self-aligned-forcing/.

自回归视频扩散能够实现交互式流媒体生成，但在长时间滚动中会遭遇误差累积。自滚动训练减少了曝光偏差，但有限的滚动仍然无法解决长程漂移。我们观察到历史键值（K/V）表示的噪声水平在视觉质量与运动之间存在权衡，并且通过历史恢复梯度使因果训练与双向训练更加紧密对齐。基于这些观察，我们提出了自对齐强制（Self-Aligned Forcing, SAF），这是一种训练方案，将每个块的历史与正在去噪的块的噪声水平对齐。具体而言，历史是由同一去噪阶段的前置块生成的K/V，因此在因果掩码下，所有块可以在单次前向传播中去噪。这保持了噪声历史的可微性，使得未来的损失能够优化其编码。因此，SAF避免了单独的无梯度滚动和每个块的时间步零重缓存，训练速度比之前的方法快最多1.8倍且内存占用更低。在推理时，SAF在现有方法中实现了最高的单GPU吞吐量，并为多GPU管道在每个阶段保留一个历史库，在4个GPU上达到了49.1 FPS。实验表明，SAF在长时间生成方面表现优越，视觉质量与运动之间的平衡更佳。项目页面：https://anonymous.4open.science/w/self-aligned-forcing/

GA-EIRFS: A Geometry-Augmented Repeat-Factor Sampling Method for Long-Tailed LiDAR 3D Object Detection
GA-EIRFS：一种用于长尾LiDAR 3D目标检测的几何增强重复因子采样方法
Abstract
Long-tailed 3D object detection is treated as a class-frequency problem, but LiDAR supervision quality depends on object observability: similar frequencies can hide different geometric evidence. We introduce Geometry-Augmented Exponentially Weighted Instance-Aware Repeat Factor Sampling (GA-EIRFS), a detector-agnostic method that modulates a frequency-based repeat factor with a fixed geometry score combining point count, surface-normal entropy, and surface coverage. GA-EIRFS changes only frame-sampling probabilities, leaving the detector and inference unchanged. On nuScenes it improves mean average precision (mAP) and the nuScenes detection score (NDS) in four converged experiments with CenterPoint and PointPillars over two seeds; for CenterPoint at seed 666, mAP rises from 0.552 to 0.563 and bicycle AP from 0.306 to 0.359. Per-class gains correlate with the class sampling-weight increase (Spearman rho=0.70, p=0.025) but not with geometry score alone (rho=0.32, p=0.37), so geometry amplifies frequency-driven need. KITTI results vary across seeds, most for the rarest class. Code: https://github.com/Multimodal-Sensing-Lab/GA-EIRFS.

长尾3D目标检测被视为一个类别频率问题，但LiDAR的监督质量依赖于目标的可观测性：相似的频率可能掩盖不同的几何证据。我们提出了几何增强指数加权实例感知重复因子采样（GA-EIRFS），这是一种与检测器无关的方法，通过结合点数、表面法线熵和表面覆盖率的固定几何得分来调节基于频率的重复因子。GA-EIRFS仅改变帧采样概率，保持检测器和推理不变。在nuScenes上，它在与CenterPoint和PointPillars的四个收敛实验中，提升了平均精度均值（mAP）和nuScenes检测得分（NDS），在两个种子上进行测试；对于种子666下的CenterPoint，mAP从0.552提高到0.563，自行车AP从0.306提高到0.359。每类的增益与类别采样权重的增加相关（Spearman rho=0.70，p=0.025），但与几何得分单独无关（rho=0.32，p=0.37），因此几何增强了基于频率的需求。KITTI的结果在不同种子间变化，尤其是对于最稀有的类别。代码：https://github.com/Multimodal-Sensing-Lab/GA-EIRFS。

VideoLoop: Looped Working Memory Against Semantic Thrashing in Long-Form Video Agents
VideoLoop：针对长视频代理中的语义冲突的循环工作记忆
Abstract
Long-form video understanding requires multimodal agents to iteratively gather evidence over many reasoning steps. However, most existing agentic methods suffer from semantic thrashing: as append-only working memory grows, attention to key evidence collapses, and the agent loses access to what it has already found. First, we provide a structural argument showing that append-only memory can incorporate newly observed target evidence, but cannot remove accumulated noise or prevent ordered context growth without a rewrite operator. Second, motivated by this analysis, we propose VideoLoop, a multimodal agent with two coupled loops. The outer loop reasons over the video and the inner loop, after each step, retrieves artifacts from an unbounded filesystem of past observations and intermediate analysis, and rewrites a bounded working memory. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of VideoLoop, which improves four popular LVLM backbones in a plug-and-play manner, with an average gain of 4.2% points over baseline on VideoMME (long). Further analysis of working memory suggests that VideoLoop mitigates semantic thrashing: on the hardest quarter of VideoMME (long) questions, a blind judge that reads only the agent's context answers 81.1% correctly, versus 60.9% for the append-only agent. With Gemini 3.1 Pro, VideoLoop reaches 88.3% on VideoMME (long), 88.8% on VideoMMMU, and 80.9% on LongVideoBench (long).

长视频理解需要多模态代理在多个推理步骤中迭代地收集证据。然而，大多数现有的代理方法都面临语义冲突的问题：随着仅附加工作记忆的增长，对关键证据的关注减弱，代理失去了对已发现内容的访问。首先，我们提供了一个结构性论证，表明仅附加的记忆可以纳入新观察到的目标证据，但无法去除累积的噪声或在没有重写操作符的情况下防止有序上下文的增长。其次，基于这一分析，我们提出了VideoLoop，这是一种具有两个耦合循环的多模态代理。外循环对视频进行推理，而内循环在每一步之后，从一个无限制的过去观察和中间分析的文件系统中检索文档，并重写一个有限的工作记忆。大量实验表明VideoLoop的有效性，它以即插即用的方式提升了四个流行的LVLM骨干网络，在VideoMME（长）上平均提高了4.2个百分点。对工作记忆的进一步分析表明VideoLoop减轻了语义冲突：在VideoMME（长）问题中最难的四分之一，只有阅读代理上下文的盲评审的正确回答率为81.1%，而仅附加代理的正确回答率为60.9%。使用Gemini 3.1 Pro，VideoLoop在VideoMME（长）上达到了88.3%，在VideoMMMU上达到了88.8%，在LongVideoBench（长）上达到了80.9%。

HelixWorld: A Real-time Interactive Audio-Visual World Model
HelixWorld：一个实时互动音视频世界模型
Abstract
World simulation is inherently multisensory, demanding synchronized visual and acoustic dynamics in real time. Yet prevailing interactive world models remain strictly silent, focusing exclusively on visual rendering and control while overlooking the acoustic dimension. We present HelixWorld, a real-time interactive audio-visual world model where visual scenes and camera-grounded spatial stereo sound co-evolve natively under user interaction. We curate a high-fidelity spatial audio-visual dataset with true stereo acoustics and metric camera poses, upon which we pre-train a bidirectional teacher conditioned on 6-DoF camera trajectories and user actions. To enable low-latency causal interaction, we distill the teacher into a few-step streaming student via an online trajectory distillation loss, sustaining drift-free joint audio-visual rollouts at 24 FPS on a single GPU. Furthermore, we formalize spatial-acoustic consistency and introduce HelixBench to evaluate whether synthesized sound fields faithfully track dynamic viewpoint motion. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HelixWorld matches state-of-the-art silent world models in visual fidelity and responsiveness, while significantly surpassing existing baselines in camera-aligned spatial-acoustic immersion.

CLeaR: A Unified Framework for Resolving the Leakage-Degradation Dilemma in Style Transfer
CLeaR：解决风格转移中泄漏-降解困境的统一框架
Abstract
Style transfer aims to render target content in the style of a reference image, but existing methods often suffer from content leakage, where objects, layouts, or semantics from the style reference appear in the generated output. Although prior data-driven and training-free methods can reduce leakage, they often face a leakage-degradation dilemma: stronger content suppression may weaken style fidelity, while richer style preservation may reintroduce unwanted reference content. We identify this dilemma across the full style-transfer pipeline, including feature separation, feature-space grounding, and diffusion generation. To address these issues, we propose CLeaR, a training-free framework for content-leakage-resistant style transfer. CLeaR first uses Orthogonal Subspace Projection to define content-reduced style targets in each vision foundation model (VFM) feature space. It then performs Ensemble Inversion, which optimizes a shared pixel-space style anchor satisfying style constraints across multiple VFMs. Finally, Energy-Guided Calibration maintains style alignment during diffusion sampling by steering the denoising trajectory toward the ensemble-defined style manifold. We further provide a theoretical analysis showing that the style-anchor estimation error decreases with the number of VFMs. Experiments on StyleBench demonstrate that CLeaR improves style alignment, reduces content leakage, and achieves better LLM-as-Judge evaluation compared with existing methods. The code is available at \href{https://github.com/0606zt/CLeaR}{https://github.com/0606zt/CLeaR}.

风格转移旨在以参考图像的风格呈现目标内容，但现有方法常常面临内容泄漏的问题，即风格参考中的物体、布局或语义出现在生成的输出中。尽管之前的数据驱动和无训练方法可以减少泄漏，但它们通常面临泄漏-降解困境：更强的内容抑制可能削弱风格保真度，而更丰富的风格保留可能重新引入不必要的参考内容。我们识别出这一困境贯穿整个风格转移流程，包括特征分离、特征空间定位和扩散生成。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了CLeaR，一个抗内容泄漏的无训练风格转移框架。CLeaR首先使用正交子空间投影在每个视觉基础模型（VFM）特征空间中定义内容减少的风格目标。然后，它执行集成反演，优化一个共享的像素空间风格锚点，以满足多个VFM的风格约束。最后，能量引导校准在扩散采样过程中保持风格对齐，通过引导去噪轨迹朝向集成定义的风格流形。我们进一步提供了理论分析，表明风格锚点估计误差随着VFM数量的增加而减少。在StyleBench上的实验表明，与现有方法相比，CLeaR改善了风格对齐，减少了内容泄漏，并在LLM-as-Judge评估中取得了更好的结果。代码可在此获取：\href{https://github.com/0606zt/CLeaR}{https://github.com/0606zt/CLeaR}。

Breaking the Uniformity Trap: Scaling Video Diffusion Model via SplitMoE
打破均匀性陷阱：通过 SplitMoE 扩展视频扩散模型
Abstract
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), popularized by large language models, is a promising paradigm for scaling visual generative models. However, conventional token-wise MoE routes tokens independently within a homogeneous expert pool and regularizes expert usage toward uniformity, making it poorly matched to video data that is spatiotemporally redundant and semantically long-tailed. We show that existing visual MoEs fall into a uniformity trap: semantically under-organized routing, compounded by uniform expert-usage regularization, scatters coherent patches across disparate experts, causing routing fragmentation and structural distortion. To address this, we propose SplitMoE, a split-role sparse architecture that breaks the shackles of uniformity. To accommodate the inherent semantic imbalance, we explicitly bifurcate the expert pool into semantic experts and generic experts, with semantic experts capturing high-level semantic abstraction and generic experts preserving residual visual information and flexible generative capacity. Leveraging prototype-guided routing and pull-push regularization, SplitMoE enables tokens to cluster naturally by semantic attributes rather than arbitrary balancing constraints. Extensive results show that under an equivalent activated-parameter budget, SplitMoE outperforms traditional load-balanced MoEs in convergence speed, routing coherence, and video generation quality across standard benchmarks. By revealing an emergent coarse-to-fine denoising logic, SplitMoE provides the community with a modality-aware scaling path, serving as a critical reference for building large-scale video world models.

LIFT: Layout-In-Future Video Generation under Large Viewpoint Change via On-Policy Self-Distillation
LIFT：在大视角变化下通过在线自蒸馏进行未来布局视频生成
Abstract
We introduce LIFT, a unified image-to-video generation framework that complements camera control with Layout-In-FuTure control, enabling users to specify what should appear in a future view and where it should appear. This addresses a practical need in controllable video generation: given an initial image, users often care not only about how the camera moves, but also about what the scene should look like at key future moments, especially the final frame. Existing camera controls specify viewpoint trajectories, while text prompts provide only coarse semantic guidance; neither precisely determines the content and spatial layout of future views. This limitation becomes particularly pronounced under large viewpoint changes, where the camera reveals regions that are not visible in the first frame. LIFT therefore uses the last-frame layout as an explicit control signal for the desired future scene. Since learning from such sparse layout guidance is substantially more challenging than conditioning on dense per-frame layouts, we introduce on-policy self-distillation (OPSD) to transfer the control capability of a dense-layout teacher to a last-frame-layout student. We further curate LIFT-Vista, a dataset featuring large viewpoint changes with camera and temporally consistent layout annotations. Experiments show that LIFT improves video quality, future-layout controllability, and camera controllability over other methods.

我们介绍了LIFT，一个统一的图像到视频生成框架，它结合了相机控制与未来布局控制（Layout-In-FuTure），使用户能够指定未来视图中应该出现什么以及出现的位置。这满足了可控视频生成中的一个实际需求：给定初始图像，用户不仅关心相机的移动方式，还关心在关键未来时刻场景应该是什么样子，尤其是最后一帧。现有的相机控制指定了视点轨迹，而文本提示仅提供粗略的语义指导；两者都无法精确确定未来视图的内容和空间布局。这一限制在大视角变化下尤为明显，此时相机会揭示在第一帧中不可见的区域。因此，LIFT使用最后一帧的布局作为期望未来场景的显式控制信号。由于从如此稀疏的布局指导中学习比在密集的逐帧布局上进行条件学习要困难得多，我们引入了在线自蒸馏（On-Policy Self-Distillation，OPSD），以将密集布局教师的控制能力转移到最后一帧布局的学生模型上。我们进一步整理了LIFT-Vista，一个包含大视角变化的数据库，配有相机和时间一致的布局注释。实验表明，LIFT在视频质量、未来布局可控性和相机可控性方面优于其他方法。

FracGen: Learning How Objects Stretch and Tear with Physics-Informed Video Generation
FracGen：学习物体如何在物理驱动的视频生成中拉伸和撕裂
Abstract
We introduce FracGen, a fracture-aware video generation model that produces plausible, controllable fracture dynamics from a single image of an intact object, conditioned on physics signals. To train FracGen, we build FracSim, a fracture-aware simulation framework that augments material point method (MPM) simulation with a continuum damage model, producing paired fracture videos and dense, pixel-aligned physical fields at no additional cost beyond standard rendering. FracGen leverages these maps in two ways: it is trained to jointly predict them alongside RGB video, encouraging the model to capture physical state rather than surface appearance; and it is supervised with physics-informed losses that encourage consistency among the predicted maps. As a result, FracGen captures distinct material-specific fracture behavior without expensive test-time simulation or per-scene tuning, while offering fine-grained control over where an object tears, how fast the crack propagates, and how much deformation precedes failure. We further introduce a benchmark for evaluating the physical plausibility of generated fracture video, and show through extensive experiments that FracGen outperforms existing video generation baselines in both physical and visual fidelity.

PowerSim: Differentiable Physics Simulation and Rendering with Power Diagrams
PowerSim：基于功率图的可微物理仿真与渲染
Abstract
We introduce PowerSim, a method to bring physically grounded, differentiable dynamics to PowerFoam's power diagram based 3D representation. PowerSim directly couples a pre-trained PowerFoam scene to the Material Point Method (MPM) by exploiting a natural alignment between the two: the geometric and appearance properties of each primitive correspond closely to the quantities MPM already tracks as an object deforms. Consequently, simulated motion can drive the scene's geometry and appearance directly, without an auxiliary representation in between. Built on this framework, we enable a range of applications on real and synthetic scenes: (1) simulating a static scene under user interaction, (2) recovering spatially varying material fields, (3) compositing primitives from independently captured scenes into a single simulation-ready scene and (4) ray-tracing reflections that update consistently as the object deforms. Our results suggest that PowerSim excels over previous frameworks for physically grounded dynamics, while unlocking unique advantages-such as secondary ray lighting effects on dynamic scenes. Results are best viewed on our project website: https://power-sim.github.io/.

LongLive-Plug: Once-for-All Distillation for Video Generation
LongLive-Plug：一次性蒸馏用于视频生成
Abstract
Video diffusion models are increasingly developed into specialized models for diverse downstream tasks, and this development often includes a distillation stage, for example to accelerate sampling or to improve long-video generation. This stage is typically repeated for every specialized model. We introduce LongLive-Plug, a once-for-all distillation framework that learns reusable capabilities as LoRAs on a base model for training-free, plug-and-play deployment to compatible downstream models. These capabilities include single-pass classifier-free guidance, few-step sampling, and long-context error correction for autoregressive generation. The adapters remain reusable even when downstream models add conditioning branches, expand output channels. Despite training at a fixed guidance scale, our dedicated CFG LoRA provides text guidance control through its inference weight. Combining it with a few-step LoRA simultaneously preserves few-step generation and CFG controllability on downstream tasks. We verify training-free deployment on 54 downstream models across three backbone families and eight task categories, including world modeling, robotics, editing, and multimodal generation. The approach may support additional compatible models. Each capability can thus be distilled once per backbone family and reused without per-target retraining.

Beyond the Timeline: Augmenting Long-Video Memory with Grounded Entity Biographies
超越时间线：通过基于实体的传记增强长视频记忆
Abstract
Answering questions about long videos often requires connecting events involving the same objects across hours or days. Chronological descriptions and text-derived entities can leave physical identity unresolved: different objects may share a description, while observations of the same object remain disconnected across events. Retrieving relevant events therefore does not necessarily recover the "biography" of the particular entity a question concerns. To address this, we introduce Grounded Entity Biographies (GEB), a long-video memory framework that groups visually grounded observations of the same physical instance across clips into retrievable biographies while preserving the context of each moment. During question answering, the biography is retrieved alongside episodic evidence, allowing the model to follow an entity through events using identity links established during memory construction. Evaluations across four benchmarks, including day-long and week-long recordings, demonstrate improvements over prior memory frameworks in both multiple-choice and open-ended question answering. On EgoLifeQA, GEB achieves 72.0% accuracy, 4.4 percentage points above the best published result. Ablations show that grounded identity association and biography reading both contribute to the gains, which additional descriptions alone do not fully recover.

回答关于长视频的问题通常需要将涉及相同对象的事件连接起来，这可能跨越数小时或数天。按时间顺序的描述和文本衍生的实体可能无法解决物理身份的问题：不同的对象可能共享相同的描述，而对同一对象的观察在事件之间却保持断开。因此，检索相关事件并不一定能恢复与问题相关的特定实体的“传记”。为了解决这个问题，我们引入了基于实体的传记（Grounded Entity Biographies, GEB），这是一种长视频记忆框架，将同一物理实例在不同片段中的视觉基础观察进行分组，形成可检索的传记，同时保留每个时刻的上下文。在回答问题时，传记与情节证据一起被检索，允许模型通过在记忆构建过程中建立的身份链接，跟踪实体在事件中的变化。在包括一天和一周长录制的四个基准测试中的评估表明，在多项选择和开放式问答中，相较于之前的记忆框架有了显著改善。在EgoLifeQA上，GEB达到了72.0%的准确率，比已发布的最佳结果高出4.4个百分点。消融实验表明，基于身份的关联和传记阅读都对提升效果有所贡献，而仅依靠额外的描述并不能完全恢复这些效果。

DMA$^2$: Pixel-space Distribution Matching with Adversarial and Anchor Losses
DMA$^2$: 像素空间分布匹配与对抗损失和锚损失
Abstract
Distribution matching distillation (DMD) provides a general framework for few-step diffusion generation, but its modern text-to-image instantiations have been developed primarily around latent diffusion. It therefore overlooks key properties and design opportunities of native RGB. We revisit two DMD interfaces for pixel-space teachers. On the teacher-matching side, diagnostics show low-noise RGB matching is dominated by a local-texture cue, motivating a fixed high-noise matching band. On the real-data side, native clean-RGB outputs allow guidance from an external visual representation without traversing a decoder or sharing the heavy fake-score critic. DINO-Adv removes this critic from the adversarial gradient path and supplies local parametric patch guidance. For distribution-level guidance, we introduce AF-Loss, a parameter-free auxiliary semantic distribution-field objective designed for text-to-image DMD. It operates on detached rolling real and generated supports in the shared DINOv2 space while preserving prompt-conditioned teacher supervision. AF-Loss adds no learnable parameters or inference-time computation. Together these designs form DMA$^2$. Across DPG-Bench, GenEval, VQAScore, and COCO30K, the four-step DMA$^2$ student performs better than the 25-step teacher and evaluated few-step distillers.

Rethinking Representations for World-Action Modeling
重新思考世界动作建模的表征
Abstract
World-action models jointly learn robot policies and predict future observations, making the representation space an interface between control and prediction. We study the design of this space through controlled comparisons, finding that neither reconstruction fidelity nor pre-trained perceptual features alone ensure effective policy learning. These findings motivate ReWAM, a representation-centric world-action model built on pre-trained DINO features. Feature Calibration and a Temporal Representation Bottleneck organize these features into compact world states suited to dynamics modeling. Action-Grounded Representation Shaping routes only action-loss gradients to the bottleneck, thereby letting the policy shape what the representation encodes while the world model learns how it evolves. Without generative video pre-training, ReWAM achieves 93.6% success on RoboTwin 2.0. On RoboDojo, it achieves an average score of 12.29 and a success rate of 8.28% using approximately 600 hours of embodied pre-training data.

Cropland PAtteRNS: Parallel Dimensional Attention Networks and Attention to Dataset Disparity for Crop Segmentation in Satellite Imagery Time Series Data
农田模式：平行维度注意力网络及对数据集差异的关注，以实现卫星影像时间序列数据中的作物分割
Abstract
The landscape of satellite imagery time series datasets and boundary-pushing architectures for cropland segmentation has never been richer. However, in this gold rush, important truths are being missed on both fronts, as a drive for the most novel concepts or the largest datasets pushes finer details to the side. In this paper, we present our hybrid transformer-convolutional model, Cropland Parallel Attention and Refinement Network for Segmentation (PAtteRNS), the first model to use self-attention mechanisms separately for each of the temporal, spectral, and spatial aspects of Sentinel-2 multispectral SITS data. To achieve fully-factorised attention in our proposed model, we introduce a novel parallel transformer architecture which significantly reduces the computational complexity of triple-factorised self-attention. We validate our architecture with an in-depth ablation study, and analyse the performance of our model against state-of-the-art crop segmentation models on multiple tile-size variants of the popular PASTIS and MTLCC datasets. Our findings show our model to outperform all others in the task of crop class segmentation, verified across multiple important segmentation metrics, with especially strong performance against compared models seen in the often under-reported parcel delineation quality, for which we use the Boundary IoU metric. We also find that flawed class groupings within datasets can have a significant negative impact on model performance, and report that alternate tile-size variants of crop segmentation datasets produce results incomparable to one-another, invalidating fair comparison between model performance when trained on different tile-sizes. Based on these findings, we suggest further work is required to standardise best practices when constructing SITS crop segmentation datasets, and to enable future dynamic-tile-sizing for ideal model performance.

卫星影像时间序列数据集和推动农田分割的前沿架构的景观从未如此丰富。然而，在这场淘金热中，重要的真相在两个方面都被忽视，因为对最新颖概念或最大数据集的追求使得更细微的细节被搁置。在本文中，我们提出了我们的混合变换器-卷积模型，即农田平行注意力与细化网络（PAtteRNS），这是第一个分别针对Sentinel-2多光谱SITS数据的时间、光谱和空间方面使用自注意力机制的模型。为了在我们提出的模型中实现完全因式分解的注意力，我们引入了一种新颖的平行变换器架构，显著降低了三重因式分解自注意力的计算复杂性。我们通过深入的消融研究验证了我们的架构，并分析了我们的模型在多个流行的PASTIS和MTLCC数据集的不同瓦片大小变体上的表现，针对最先进的作物分割模型进行比较。我们的研究结果表明，在作物类别分割任务中，我们的模型在多个重要的分割指标上超越了其他所有模型，尤其是在通常被低估的地块划分质量方面，使用边界IoU指标进行验证。我们还发现，数据集中存在的缺陷类别分组可能对模型性能产生显著负面影响，并报告不同瓦片大小变体的作物分割数据集产生的结果无法相互比较，从而使得在不同瓦片大小上训练时模型性能的公平比较失效。基于这些发现，我们建议在构建SITS作物分割数据集时需要进一步标准化最佳实践，并为未来理想模型性能的动态瓦片大小调整提供支持。

Adversarial Training for Pixel Diffusion
像素扩散的对抗训练
Abstract
Pixel diffusion models generate RGB images directly, avoiding the bottleneck of an autoencoder, yet their outputs still systematically underrepresent fine-scale natural-image statistics. We show that adversarial learning provides an effective post-training correction for this deficiency. Starting from a pretrained model, we retain its original diffusion or flow-matching objective and add an adversarial loss to the predicted output at non-high-noise timesteps, leaving the model architecture and sampling procedure unchanged. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic study of adversarial post-training for pixel diffusion. Across two pixel backbones, the method jointly improves distribution fidelity, coverage, prompt alignment, and perceptual quality. We further investigate why it works. Frequency-band and power-law analyses show that the original models systematically underproduce natural-image high-frequency content, while adversarial post-training restores this missing spectral power. In contrast, perceptual loss also increases high-frequency content but sacrifices distribution fidelity and prompt alignment. Nearest-neighbor, recall, and matched no-GAN SFT controls further rule out memorization, mode dropping, and additional optimization as simple explanations. Finally, we examine the boundary of this effect. Under the tested latent diffusion configurations, the same procedure does not produce comparable joint gains and adds almost no decoded high-frequency power. These results identify direct output access to the image statistics being corrected as a key factor governing when adversarial post-training succeeds.

像素扩散模型直接生成RGB图像，避免了自编码器的瓶颈，但其输出仍然系统性地低估了细尺度自然图像统计特征。我们表明，对抗学习为这一缺陷提供了一种有效的后训练修正方法。从一个预训练模型开始，我们保留其原始的扩散或流匹配目标，并在非高噪声时间步的预测输出上添加对抗损失，同时保持模型架构和采样过程不变。据我们所知，这是对像素扩散进行对抗后训练的首次系统研究。在两个像素骨干网络上，该方法共同改善了分布保真度、覆盖率、提示对齐和感知质量。我们进一步探讨了其有效性的原因。频带和幂律分析表明，原始模型系统性地低产自然图像的高频内容，而对抗后训练恢复了这一缺失的谱功率。相比之下，感知损失虽然也增加了高频内容，但牺牲了分布保真度和提示对齐。最近邻、召回和匹配的无GAN SFT控制进一步排除了记忆、模式丢失和额外优化作为简单解释。最后，我们考察了这一效应的边界。在测试的潜在扩散配置下，相同的过程并未产生可比的联合增益，并几乎没有增加解码的高频功率。这些结果确定了直接输出访问被修正的图像统计特征作为决定对抗后训练成功时机的关键因素。

Imagine3D-LLM: Teaching MLLMs to Imagine 3D Scenes Before Answering
Imagine3D-LLM：在回答之前教导多模态大型语言模型想象三维场景
Abstract
Reasoning about the 3D world from multi-view images remains a fundamental challenge for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). While modern MLLMs handle single-image inputs effectively, they struggle to integrate evidence across viewpoints into a coherent 3D understanding. A growing body of work attempts to close this gap by injecting 3D awareness into MLLMs, either by boosting fine-grained pixel-level cross-view correspondence or by fusing features from 3D geometry foundation models, yet a substantial gap to human reasoning persists. In this work, we revisit human spatial reasoning, which suggests that rather than relying on fine-grained geometry cues, humans roughly identify common objects across views, infer the relative geometry between viewpoints, and assemble a coarse 3D layout of the scene. Inspired by this process, we introduce Imagine3D-LLM, an MLLM that learns to assemble a similar compact 3D representation of the scene and conditions its answer on this representation. Concretely, we append a small set of learnable summary tokens after the image tokens, decode them into a compact 3D Gaussian Splatting representation supervised by a photometric reconstruction loss, and train jointly with the standard next-token prediction objective. Notably, although only the summary tokens receive direct reconstruction supervision, this objective also induces stronger cross-frame correspondence within the LLM's underlying image features, suggesting that learning to reconstruct propagates 3D-aware signals throughout the model. As a result, Imagine3D-LLM consistently outperforms prior approaches across multiple spatial reasoning and 3D understanding benchmarks, suggesting that imagining the scene can be more effective than being told its pixel-wise geometry.

从多视角图像推理三维世界仍然是多模态大型语言模型（MLLMs）面临的一个基本挑战。尽管现代MLLMs能够有效处理单图像输入，但它们在将不同视角的证据整合成一致的三维理解方面仍然存在困难。越来越多的研究试图通过增强细粒度像素级的视角对应关系或融合来自三维几何基础模型的特征来弥补这一差距，但与人类推理之间仍然存在显著差距。在本研究中，我们重新审视人类空间推理，发现人类并非依赖于细粒度的几何线索，而是大致识别不同视角中的共同物体，推断视角之间的相对几何关系，并组装出场景的粗略三维布局。受到这一过程的启发，我们提出了Imagine3D-LLM，这是一种学习组装类似紧凑三维场景表示的MLLM，并基于该表示来条件化其回答。具体而言，我们在图像标记后附加一小组可学习的摘要标记，将其解码为一个紧凑的三维高斯溅射（Gaussian Splatting）表示，并通过光度重建损失进行监督，同时与标准的下一个标记预测目标共同训练。值得注意的是，尽管只有摘要标记接受直接的重建监督，但这一目标也促使LLM的基础图像特征之间的跨帧对应关系更强，表明学习重建能够在整个模型中传播三维感知信号。因此，Imagine3D-LLM在多个空间推理和三维理解基准测试中始终优于先前的方法，表明想象场景可能比被告知其像素级几何更为有效。

Point2Part: Unified 3D Partitioning from Point Prompts
Point2Part：基于点提示的统一三维分区
Abstract
Existing 3D part decomposition methods do not necessarily partition the original shape into non-overlapping parts that collectively cover the entire shape, allowing overlaps or gaps that hinder downstream part-level applications. We instead formulate part decomposition as a joint partitioning of the entire shape, where the predicted parts are non-overlapping and jointly recover the entire shape. Our key insight is that part decomposition should consider all desired parts jointly, rather than modeling each part independently. To this end, we develop a promptable model for 3D part decomposition from images or meshes. Users can specify desired parts through 3D point prompts for controllable decomposition. Given one point prompt per desired part, our model produces the corresponding parts as a complete partition of the entire shape. We build on a pretrained 3D generation model and first obtain a shape latent from either an input image or mesh. We then introduce a prompt encoder that maps each 3D point prompt to a part token while attending to the shape latent. To decode the desired parts, we propose a novel part decoder jointly scoring the entire shape against all part tokens in a coarse-to-fine manner, assigning every position within the shape volume to exactly one part. We perform part decomposition in this shared shape latent space, enabling a unified model for image-to-part generation, mesh-to-part generation, and part segmentation. Our method outperforms existing works on all part-quality metrics across all three tasks, and improves compatibility among parts by an order of magnitude over previous SOTA methods. Code and models will be released.

OpenAI-HuggingFace: A Reproduction & Lessons for Alignment Testing
OpenAI-HuggingFace：再现与对齐测试的经验教训
Abstract
In July 2026, OpenAI's agents coordinated over channels outside their intended environment to breach Hugging Face's secured infrastructure. Could existing alignment testing practices have foreseen this incident? If not, what needs to change? We explore these questions. First, we identify the misaligned behaviors that caused this incident. Then, we show how to elicit these behaviors from publicly available models manually and that auditing agents can do the same if given a large compute budget. Based on our results, we propose directions to improve alignment testing. Concretely, in this project: (1) We reproduce the misaligned AI behaviors that led to the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident in an environment that simulates the original pipelines and tools, with publicly available models. (2) We demonstrate that an auditing agent can elicit similar behaviors given high-level qualitative descriptions. (3) We observe that a key ingredient for doing so is compute. The compute required to reproduce each behavior varies greatly, suggesting that the range of misaligned behaviors that can be successfully elicited scales with compute. (4) We show that a simple in-context reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm significantly reduces the compute required to elicit these behaviors. The above results motivate the need for automated alignment testing methods that scale with compute - and in light of the cost of compute, that do this efficiently. Our work indicates that RL is a promising direction to do so. We release our code and transcripts.

Neurosymbolic Routing for Reliable Reasoning on Resource-Constrained Edge Devices
资源受限边缘设备上的可靠推理的神经符号路由
Abstract
Running a language model on edge hardware provides private and low-latency reasoning without a network connection, and yet the small models that fit on such devices are unreliable on the tasks computers are expected to handle well, such as arithmetic, algebra, and formal logic problems. We argue that much of this unreliability is avoidable. Many queries appearing to demand reasoning are in fact structurally deterministic and permit fast and exact symbolic solutions. Therefore, forcing a probabilistic model to approximate them sacrifices accuracy and energy for little benefit. We present a neurosymbolic router that classifies each incoming query and dispatches it to the cheapest correct solver, sending structured tasks to deterministic engines and reserving the small language model (SLM) for open-ended word problems. Instead of hand-coding the routing logic, we learn a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) with the L* grammatical inference algorithm, using the SLM as a membership oracle and labeled data as an equivalence oracle. On a Raspberry Pi 4B (8 GB RAM, no GPU), evaluated on 100 untested prompts from DeepMind Mathematics, GSM8K, and RuleTaker, learned routing attains 100% routing accuracy and 98.3% overall accuracy with a 512-token reasoning budget (93.3% on word problems), compared with 72.0% for the strongest agent baseline, Program-of-Thought, and 58.7% for a tool-calling agent given the same solvers. Since formatted queries never reach the model, the router answers them in 1-11 ms and, in its 30-token configuration, runs 8.8x faster and 2.8x more energy-efficient than Program-of-Thought.

在边缘硬件上运行语言模型可以在没有网络连接的情况下提供私密且低延迟的推理，然而，适用于此类设备的小型模型在计算机应擅长处理的任务（如算术、代数和形式逻辑问题）上却表现不可靠。我们认为，这种不可靠性在很大程度上是可以避免的。许多看似需要推理的查询实际上是结构上确定的，并允许快速且精确的符号解决方案。因此，强迫概率模型去近似这些查询会牺牲准确性和能量，而收益微乎其微。我们提出了一种神经符号路由器，它对每个输入查询进行分类，并将其分派给最便宜的正确求解器，将结构化任务发送到确定性引擎，并将小型语言模型（SLM）保留用于开放式文字问题。我们不是手动编码路由逻辑，而是使用 L* 语法推断算法学习一个确定性有限自动机（DFA），将 SLM 作为成员资格oracle，并使用标记数据作为等价oracle。在 Raspberry Pi 4B（8 GB RAM，无 GPU）上，对来自 DeepMind Mathematics、GSM8K 和 RuleTaker 的 100 个未测试提示进行评估，学习到的路由实现了 100% 的路由准确率和 98.3% 的整体准确率，在 512-token 的推理预算下（在文字问题上为 93.3%），而最强的代理基线 Program-of-Thought 的准确率为 72.0%，工具调用代理在相同求解器下为 58.7%。由于格式化查询从未到达模型，路由器在 1-11 毫秒内给出答案，并且在其 30-token 配置下，比 Program-of-Thought 快 8.8 倍且能效高 2.8 倍。

Is Human-Readable Text Necessary for Effective LLM Fine-Tuning?
人类可读文本对于有效的大型语言模型微调是否必要？
Abstract
Is human readability necessary for effective fine-tuning of large language models? We investigate whether model-conditioned training representations can preserve or improve adaptation utility without requiring a human-readable textual form. We propose Desired-Update-Aligned Synthetic Data (DASA), which uses activation-gradient feedback from a frozen reference model to guide the optimization of continuous synthetic input embeddings. Inspired by the role of activation gradients in local risk reduction, DASA targets useful adaptation updates rather than source-text reconstruction or linguistic fluency. The resulting embeddings are used directly for downstream fine-tuning; discrete token projections are employed only for qualitative inspection. Experiments on six models from the Llama and Qwen families, ranging from 1B to 32B parameters, cover six benchmarks spanning knowledge, mathematical reasoning, code generation, and commonsense reasoning. Under matched LoRA adaptation settings, DASA achieves performance comparable to the source natural-language data and surpasses it in multiple configurations, while outperforming GRADMM in most comparisons. Further experiments cover general-domain and task-specialized source data. Under the evaluated synthesis settings, DASA provides a $3.6$--$4.9\times$ speedup over GRADMM with comparable peak GPU memory.

The Price of Token Boundaries: Compression Certificates and Prediction
标记边界的代价：压缩证书与预测
Abstract
Pre-tokenisation restricts which text fragments can become prediction units, but its compression cost is obscured when tokenisers are compared only under the same boundaries. We measure this cost by bounding the minimum token count from both sides, with and without a regular-expression boundary rule. Nonnegative prices on token occurrences yield a lower bound through shortest paths and vocabulary-budget selection; maximising over all prices recovers the linear programming relaxation, and an independent integer checker certifies the reported values. On English Wikipedia, boundaries increase the optimal token count by 28.3--36.8\%. Byte pair encoding lies 2.1\% above the constrained lower bound, but 10.9\% above the unrestricted bound. Compression and prediction favour different dictionaries: at 85M non-embedding parameters and matched training-token budgets, unrestricted fitting yields higher mean held-out bits per byte under a common unrestricted decoder in all 12 languages in the paired study and 11 of 12 under independent tuning and evaluation. To study intermediate boundary policies, we introduce boundary licences, which limit the vocabulary entries permitted to cross cuts and admit the same form of certificate. On separate English and Chinese fitting corpora, licensing 10\% of the vocabulary budget recovers 85.2\% and 100.0\% of the achieved token-count reduction from removing all cuts. These results quantify the compression cost of boundaries while separating it from the prediction quality of the resulting token units.

预标记化限制了哪些文本片段可以成为预测单元，但当仅在相同边界下比较标记化器时，其压缩成本被掩盖。我们通过从两侧限制最小标记计数来测量这一成本，包括和不包括正则表达式边界规则。标记出现的非负价格通过最短路径和词汇预算选择提供了下限；对所有价格进行最大化恢复了线性规划松弛，而独立的整数检查器则验证了报告的值。在英语维基百科上，边界使得最优标记计数增加了28.3%至36.8%。字节对编码比受限下限高出2.1%，但比不受限下限高出10.9%。压缩和预测偏好不同的词典：在85M非嵌入参数和匹配的训练标记预算下，不受限拟合在所有12种语言的配对研究中以及在独立调优和评估下的12种语言中的11种中，均在共同的不受限解码器下产生了更高的每字节平均持出位数。为了研究中间边界策略，我们引入了边界许可证，限制允许跨越切割的词汇条目，并承认相同形式的证书。在独立的英语和中文拟合语料库上，许可10%的词汇预算恢复了从去除所有切割中实现的85.2%和100.0%的标记计数减少。这些结果量化了边界的压缩成本，同时将其与所产生的标记单元的预测质量分开。

More Programs or More Rolls? Separating Coverage from Specialization in LLM Harnesses
更多程序还是更多重复？在大型语言模型（LLM）工具中的覆盖与专业化的分离
Abstract
Automated generation of LLM harnesses promises to improve inference through task specialization. Yet additional answer coverage can arise from repeated execution of the same program, making specialization difficult to identify. We introduce a controlled evaluation that separates answer coverage, repeatable task advantages, and gains from pre-execution selection. On 386 MATH-500 tasks, we compare eight generated harnesses plus a baseline with nine byte-identical baseline copies, using three executions per member. Identical programs yield 2.16 percentage points of repeat-averaged oracle headroom. Generated programs exhibit substantially more repeatable score patterns, but these chiefly reveal persistent weaknesses: losses relative to the baseline persist across all three repeats on 100 tasks, while persistent wins occur on only one task and are sensitive to answer extraction. The frozen selector gains 0.00 percentage points, and both populations reach 98.70% oracle coverage at 27 harness executions. Stable complementarity remains unresolved at three repeats. Supporting BIRD traces locate failures in mechanism implementation, activation, and output validity. Together, these findings establish why coverage and repeatability alone cannot justify claims of useful specialization. They motivate an evaluation standard for harness diversity: task advantages should persist across executions, guide usable decisions, and improve on additional fixed-program executions under matched inference budgets.

Risk-Averse Online POMDP Planning via CVaR of the Immediate Cost with Performance Guarantees
通过即时成本的条件风险价值（CVaR）进行风险厌恶的在线部分可观测马尔可夫决策过程（POMDP）规划及其性能保证
Abstract
Online POMDP planners optimize the expected cumulative cost, which can mask dangerous states when the belief places significant mass on high-cost states. Existing risk-averse methods apply static or dynamic Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) to the value function, capturing trajectory-level risk, but share two gaps: (i) by retaining the immediate cost as an expectation of a state-dependent cost over the belief, the risk \emph{within} the belief is left unaddressed; and (ii) by modifying the value function, they require new tailored algorithms rather than reusing existing expectation-based planners. We instead apply CVaR to the immediate cost over the belief at each step, directly targeting per-step uncertainty about the current state. The standard expected cumulative return is retained as the objective, so the resulting problem has a standard MDP structure: any expectation-based POMDP planner can be made risk-sensitive by changing only the cost computation. We inherit finite-time guarantees for policy evaluation and sparse sampling---with estimation error independent of the risk level---and, as our central theoretical result, prove a finite-time bound on the gap between the particle belief MDP surrogate and the original POMDP, which together yield an end-to-end guarantee from the true POMDP value to the algorithmic estimate. In the risk-neutral limit, the formulation recovers standard expectation-based planning.

Beyond Symmetric Agents: Cognitive Diversity and Multi-Agent Debate in Small Language Models
超越对称代理：小型语言模型中的认知多样性与多代理辩论
Abstract
Multi-agent debate (MAD) reportedly improves reasoning and factuality over single-model inference, but prior work treats agents as symmetric peers, leaving open what drives the gains. We test the hypothesis that cognitive diversity among agents is the driver, in the setting where the question is still measurable: small open-weight models with benchmark headroom. Across 23 models from eleven vendor families, five tasks, and 5,500+ debate and control runs, we vary diversity along three axes - personas, sampling temperature, and model identity - pairing every debate configuration with a generation-budget-matched majority-vote control. The hypothesis is rejected on every axis. Debate beats single-agent inference (3--7 points where tasks have headroom) but at matched budget conditions it ties or even loses to self-consistency sampling at 1.6$\times$ the wall-clock and 3.4$\times$ the token cost. Persona prompting reduces accuracy and a dose-response experiment over each model's full combinatorial persona space shows the cost is a persona tax, not a diversity tax: redundant personas hurt most, while maximally-diverse teams recover part of the loss. Furthermore, mixed-model teams lose to majority votes over their own rosters, with accuracy tracking member capability rather than heterogeneity, and nearly all of debate's benefit comes from the first exchange of answers. We further identify a pervasive measurement hazard in which debate transcripts silently overflow serving context windows, whose correction alone moves our debate-versus-sampling comparison from $-1.8$ points to parity. Our results recast reported MAD gains as an ensemble-sampling effect and provide the budget-matched, contamination-checked baseline bar that future debate mechanisms should be required to clear.

Representational Simplicity and Circuit Size Dissociate in a Threshold-Dependent Way: A Controlled Test via Adversarial Training
表征简单性与电路规模以阈值依赖的方式解耦：通过对抗训练的控制测试
Abstract
Sparse-autoencoder decomposability and concentrated feature attribution are increasingly treated as evidence that a model's computation is easier to reverse-engineer. Whether this representational and attributional cleanliness actually predicts a smaller or more tractable causal circuit remains an open question. We test this directly using adversarial training as a controlled instrument: it reliably reshapes internal representations, but this alone does not constitute a test of circuit size. We investigate this question through reverse-engineering complexity: the causal structure required to recover a model's behavior at a fixed level of faithfulness. To our knowledge, this is the first controlled empirical test of whether representational or attributional simplicity translates into causal simplicity at the circuit level. Starting from the same pretrained GPT-2 Small checkpoint, we apply matched standard and adversarial continual training, requiring both conditions to retain competence on indirect object identification and pass independent robustness verification before comparing mechanisms. We then compare the models along three complementary axes: sparse-autoencoder decomposability, SAE feature engagement in task attribution, and the size of faithful circuits recovered from the raw computational graph. The robust model is more SAE-decomposable and engages fewer SAE features in task attribution.

稀疏自编码器的可分解性和集中特征归因越来越被视为模型计算易于逆向工程的证据。然而，这种表征和归因的清晰性是否真的预测了更小或更易处理的因果电路仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。我们通过对抗训练作为控制工具直接测试这一点：它可靠地重塑内部表征，但这本身并不构成电路规模的测试。我们通过逆向工程复杂性来探讨这个问题：恢复模型行为所需的因果结构在固定的忠实度水平下。根据我们的知识，这是首次控制的实证测试，旨在检验表征或归因的简单性是否转化为电路层面的因果简单性。从相同的预训练GPT-2 Small检查点出发，我们应用匹配的标准和对抗持续训练，要求两个条件在间接对象识别上保持能力，并通过独立的鲁棒性验证后再比较机制。然后，我们沿着三个互补的轴比较模型：稀疏自编码器的可分解性、SAE特征在任务归因中的参与程度，以及从原始计算图中恢复的忠实电路的规模。鲁棒模型在SAE可分解性上更高，并且在任务归因中参与的SAE特征更少。电路规模依赖于条件：在能力匹配的间接对象识别上，标准模型在85%忠实度以下领先或持平，但鲁棒模型在高忠实度（90%，95%）下需要显著更少的边，这一模式在主要对比中建立，而表征趋势在七点范围和第二个语料库中具有普遍性。

Self-discovering RL in the Era of Experience: Is Learning History an Asset or a Burden?
体验时代中的自我发现强化学习：学习历史是资产还是负担？
Abstract
The pursuit of recursive self-improvement (RSI) toward general intelligence is divided between macro-level language model scaling and the interaction-driven principles of "Era of Experience". Yet, any self-improving architecture ultimately rests upon its underlying optimization engine: if general intelligence requires learning from grounded interaction, the reinforcement learning (RL) update rule itself must be capable of cumulative adaptation. While algorithm self-discovery has produced Disco103 that surpassed PPO to achieve SOTA benchmark performance -- its internal update machinery remains an uninspected black box. We present the first causal mechanistic audit of a self-discovered RL rule, structured directly around the five pillars of the Era of Experience: extended horizon, grounded reward scales, continuing streams, within-lifetime change, and exploration depth. By surgically pinning, freezing, and transplanting recurrent states while holding meta-parameters fixed, we test when learning history acts as an asset or a burden. Three findings organize the audit: (1) Recurrent history actively expands usable reward scales, sustaining a six-decade window versus three under zero-pinning. (2) Decoupling historical content from its maintenance reveals that the penalty of mismatched history stems from perpetual clamping; allowing imported state to evolve naturally attenuates this burden. (3) Under environmental change, controlling replay retention reverses the apparent adaptation advantage over DQN, demonstrating that external data turnover can confound internal plasticity. Validated through capability thresholds and ported to a second rule (OPEN), this work grounds macro-RSI ambitions in micro-level learning dynamics, establishing a foundational audit standard for next-generation, self-evolving RL algorithms.

追求递归自我改进（RSI）以实现通用智能的努力在宏观层面的语言模型扩展与以互动驱动的“体验时代”原则之间存在分歧。然而，任何自我改进的架构最终都依赖于其基础优化引擎：如果通用智能需要从扎根的互动中学习，那么强化学习（RL）更新规则本身必须具备累积适应的能力。尽管算法自我发现产生了超越PPO的Disco103，达到了SOTA基准性能——其内部更新机制仍然是一个未被检视的黑箱。我们首次对自我发现的RL规则进行了因果机制审计，直接围绕体验时代的五大支柱构建：扩展视野、扎根奖励尺度、持续流、生命周期内变化和探索深度。通过外科手术般地固定、冻结和移植递归状态，同时保持元参数不变，我们测试了学习历史何时充当资产或负担。审计的三个发现如下：（1）递归历史积极扩展可用的奖励尺度，在零固定下维持六十年的窗口，而不是三年。（2）将历史内容与其维护解耦，揭示了不匹配历史的惩罚源于持续的夹紧；允许导入状态自然演变可以减轻这一负担。（3）在环境变化下，控制重放保留反转了相对于DQN的明显适应优势，表明外部数据周转可能会干扰内部可塑性。通过能力阈值验证并移植到第二个规则（OPEN），本研究将宏观RSI的雄心扎根于微观学习动态，为下一代自我进化的RL算法建立了基础审计标准。

Grab a Coffee: Future-Aware Guidance for Discrete Diffusion with Compiled Objectives
抓一杯咖啡：面向未来的离散扩散指导与编译目标
Abstract
Discrete diffusion models generate sequences by iteratively resolving multiple tokens in parallel, offering a flexible alternative to left-to-right generation. However, guiding this process with a sequence-level objective is difficult because the value of one unresolved token depends on the other tokens with which it can form a high-reward sequence. Enumerating all such completions makes the whole guidance computation grow exponentially with the number of unresolved positions. We introduce COFFEE, a plug-and-play framework that avoids this enumeration by separating sequence dependence from the objective. At each diffusion step, a target-free carrier absorbs the marginal token distributions predicted by the denoiser to construct a joint model over the unresolved tokens, while a compiled finite-state model records how their combinations affect the sequence-level preference. Pairing their states allows COFFEE to transfer global preferences to unresolved positions and sample a clean reconstruction without retraining the diffusion model. The same framework supports explicit hard constraints and learned soft objectives. We evaluate COFFEE across multiple symbolic, language, and biological benchmarks, where it achieves strong control results with task-dependent quality and diversity trade-offs. By making objectives available to inference rather than only evaluation, COFFEE brings joint conditioning, completion-weighted guidance, and optimization-based constraints into pretrained neural generation, showing the potential of neural-symbolic methods in diffusion guidance.

离散扩散模型通过并行迭代解决多个标记生成序列，提供了一种灵活的替代方案，取代了从左到右的生成方式。然而，使用序列级目标来指导这一过程是困难的，因为一个未解决标记的值依赖于可以形成高奖励序列的其他标记。枚举所有这样的完成会使整个指导计算随着未解决位置的数量呈指数增长。我们提出了 COFFEE，这是一个即插即用的框架，通过将序列依赖性与目标分离来避免这种枚举。在每个扩散步骤中，一个无目标的载体吸收去噪器预测的边际标记分布，以构建一个关于未解决标记的联合模型，同时一个编译的有限状态模型记录它们的组合如何影响序列级偏好。将它们的状态配对使 COFFEE 能够将全局偏好转移到未解决位置，并在不重新训练扩散模型的情况下采样干净的重构。相同的框架支持显式硬约束和学习的软目标。我们在多个符号、语言和生物基准上评估 COFFEE，在这些基准中，它实现了强控制结果，并在任务相关的质量和多样性权衡中表现出色。通过使目标可用于推理而不仅仅是评估，COFFEE 将联合条件、完成加权指导和基于优化的约束引入预训练神经生成，展示了神经-符号方法在扩散指导中的潜力。

Right Words, Wrong Moment: A Clinician-Grounded Analysis of Distress in 19,930 Conversations between Young People and ChatGPT
恰当的词语，不恰当的时刻：基于临床医生的分析，探讨年轻人与ChatGPT之间的19,930次对话中的困扰
Abstract
Young people increasingly turn to General-Purpose Conversational Agents (GPCAs), such as ChatGPT, in moments of distress. We examine young adults' (ages 18-25) experiences using ChatGPT. We first collected 19,930 ChatGPT conversations and survey data from 158 young adults. We then selected five example conversations reflecting user distress. Finally, we asked ten clinicians to review those five conversations. We found distressed participants reported greater emotional engagement with ChatGPT and greater behavioral change from using it than their peers. When they turned to ChatGPT in moments of acute distress, ChatGPT was quick to give overly dramatic responses and excessive action-oriented suggestions. Clinicians endorsed ChatGPT's availability and much of its wording, but identified seven process failures, such as prematurely jumping to solutions. We translated clinicians' feedback into design guidelines following three stages: 1) asking about safety, 2) de-escalating intensity to restore emotional regulation, and 3) exploring concerns without agreeing with them.

SAGE: A Statistical Acceptance Gate for Self-Evolving Agents
SAGE：自我进化代理的统计接受门
Abstract
Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents increasingly self-evolve by editing a persistent skill document that encodes their workflow, tool-use rules, and decision logic. This loop has two steps, an optimizer that proposes a candidate edit and a gate that accepts or rejects it. Prior work has concentrated on the optimizer, while the gate still follows a naive rule that keeps any edit which improves an aggregate validation score. We show that this rule fails in two ways. First, it admits permanent regressions, since an edit can raise the average while breaking items the skill already solves. Second, it is vulnerable to the Optimizer's Curse, since the best observed score on a finite and noisy validation set is upward biased. To solve the above two limitations, we propose a statistical acceptance gate for self-evolving agents (SAGE). Compared with previous work, SAGE has two contributions. First, SAGE proposes a per-item paired comparison that evaluates the current skill and the edited skill on identical validation items, which exposes regressions that an aggregate score hides and penalizes them asymmetrically. Second, SAGE also employs a one-sided paired test that commits an edit only when its wins are statistically reliable against its losses, and it abstains otherwise. SAGE is a conservative refinement of the standard gate that recovers the baseline exactly at a boundary setting. It commits only a subset of the baseline's edits, filtering out those whose gains are unreliable or purchased by breaking already-solved items. Across five benchmarks and four backbone LLMs under an equal-budget protocol, SAGE lowers the regression rate in 19 of 20 settings and matches the baseline in the remaining one, for example from 36.5% to 0% on LiveMath and from 42.8% to 0% on OfficeQA with DeepSeek-V4. SAGE also attains the highest final score in all 20 settings, raising LiveMath from 34.15 to 48.78.

基于大型语言模型（LLM）的代理越来越多地通过编辑一个持久的技能文档来自我进化，该文档编码了它们的工作流程、工具使用规则和决策逻辑。这个循环有两个步骤：一个优化器提出候选编辑，一个门接受或拒绝该编辑。先前的研究集中于优化器，而门仍然遵循一个简单的规则，即保留任何提高整体验证分数的编辑。我们展示了这个规则存在两个缺陷。首先，它允许永久性回归，因为一个编辑可以提高平均分数，同时破坏技能已经解决的项目。其次，它容易受到优化器诅咒的影响，因为在有限且噪声较大的验证集上观察到的最佳分数存在向上的偏差。为了解决上述两个局限性，我们提出了一种自我进化代理的统计接受门（SAGE）。与之前的工作相比，SAGE有两个贡献。首先，SAGE提出了一种逐项配对比较方法，在相同的验证项目上评估当前技能和编辑后的技能，这揭示了整体分数隐藏的回归，并对其进行不对称惩罚。其次，SAGE还采用了一种单侧配对检验，只有在其胜利在统计上相对于其失败是可靠的情况下才会提交编辑，否则将保持不变。SAGE是标准门的保守改进，在边界设置下精确恢复基线。它仅提交基线编辑的一个子集，过滤掉那些收益不可靠或通过破坏已解决项目而获得的收益。在五个基准测试和四个主干LLM的等预算协议下，SAGE在20个设置中降低了19个设置的回归率，并在剩下的一个设置中与基线相匹配，例如在LiveMath上从36.5%降至0%，在DeepSeek-V4的OfficeQA上从42.8%降至0%。SAGE还在所有20个设置中获得了最高的最终分数，将LiveMath从34.15提高到48.78。

PowerZooJax: A JAX-based Power System Benchmark for Reinforcement Learning
PowerZooJax：基于 JAX 的电力系统强化学习基准测试
Abstract
Power system operation is a safety-critical sequential decision-making problem, making it a natural testbed for reinforcement learning (RL). However, existing RL environments for power systems are often narrow in scope and computationally limited by CPU-based simulation workflows, making large-scale evaluation difficult. We introduce PowerZooJax, a JAX-based benchmark suite for RL in power system operation. It provides five constrained Markov decision process tasks spanning generation, transmission, distribution, distributed energy resources, and data center microgrid. By rewriting power flow, economic dispatch, market clearing, and device dynamics as JAX computation graphs, PowerZooJax keeps the entire training and evaluation loop on the GPU. Experiments show substantial speedups over CPU-based simulations and demonstrate standardized evaluation of policy returns, safety violations, and out-of-distribution stress conditions. Our open-source benchmark is available at: https://github.com/powerzoojax/PowerZooJax.

GeoWind2Plan: Mission-Time 3D Urban Wind Prediction for Energy-Efficient UAV Planning
GeoWind2Plan：面向能效无人机规划的任务时间3D城市风场预测
Abstract
In urban low-altitude flight, buildings reshape ambient wind into spatially varying 3D flow, making unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) energy depend on local wind exposure as well as path length. However, building-resolved wind information is rarely available when a mission must be planned. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can produce high-fidelity urban flow fields, but each simulation is tied to a fixed inflow boundary condition and can take hours to days, which is incompatible with urban UAV missions that typically last minutes to tens of minutes. We present GeoWind2Plan, a geometry-to-wind-to-planning framework for mission-time 3D urban wind prediction and energy-efficient UAV planning. Given only a background wind vector, 3D building geometry, and a start-goal pair, GeoWind2Plan transforms the building geometry into a reference-wind frame, predicts mission-relevant 3D wind patches with a localized geometry-conditioned neural operator, stitches them into a queryable local wind field, and optimizes a feasible 3D path and speed profile using a physically grounded UAV energy model. Rather than pursuing CFD-perfect reconstruction, GeoWind2Plan targets decision-useful wind prediction: trajectories are planned with predicted wind and evaluated under high-fidelity CFD wind. Across held-out urban domains, wind speeds, and mission wind-angle regimes, GeoWind2Plan performs corridor-localized wind inference in about 3 seconds, compared with roughly 8 hours for CFD. Under CFD evaluation, trajectories planned with GeoWind2Plan reduce energy by 6.9%, 12.7%, and 4.5% in tailwind, headwind, and crosswind missions relative to wind-agnostic planning, recovering 87.9%, 85.7%, and 75.0% of CFD-reference savings. These results show that fast, corridor-localized 3D urban wind prediction can make wind-aware UAV energy planning practical at mission time.

在城市低空飞行中，建筑物将环境风重新塑造为空间变化的3D流场，使无人机（UAV）的能耗依赖于局部风暴露以及路径长度。然而，在任务规划时，建筑物解析的风信息通常难以获得。计算流体动力学（CFD）能够产生高保真度的城市流场，但每次模拟都与固定的入流边界条件相关，并且可能需要数小时到数天，这与通常持续几分钟到十几分钟的城市无人机任务不兼容。我们提出了GeoWind2Plan，一个几何-风-规划框架，用于任务时间的3D城市风场预测和能效无人机规划。仅给定背景风矢量、3D建筑几何和起止目标对，GeoWind2Plan将建筑几何转换为参考风框架，使用局部几何条件的神经算子预测与任务相关的3D风场，并将其拼接成可查询的局部风场，利用物理基础的无人机能量模型优化可行的3D路径和速度配置。GeoWind2Plan并不追求CFD完美重建，而是针对决策有用的风预测：轨迹是在预测的风下规划，并在高保真CFD风下进行评估。在保留的城市区域、风速和任务风角条件下，GeoWind2Plan在约3秒内执行走廊局部风推断，而CFD则大约需要8小时。在CFD评估下，使用GeoWind2Plan规划的轨迹在顺风、逆风和横风任务中相较于无风考虑规划分别减少了6.9%、12.7%和4.5%的能量，恢复了87.9%、85.7%和75.0%的CFD参考节省。这些结果表明，快速的走廊局部3D城市风预测可以使风感知的无人机能量规划在任务时间内变得切实可行。

Mirror-Score: Calibrated, Inference-only Scoring Exposes the Limits of Sequence-compatibility Ranking in D-peptide Design
Mirror-Score：校准的仅推理评分揭示了D-肽设计中序列兼容性排名的局限性
Abstract
D-peptides combine protease resistance with high target specificity, but computational design of D-peptide binders remains immature. Mirror-Peptidizer introduced an in silico mirror-image screening pipeline using target reflection, backbone generation, and ProteinMPNN sequence design, but its raw ProteinMPNN negative log-likelihood (NLL) ranking was not validated against measured affinities, and only 4 of 9 tested MDM2 designs bound detectably. We introduce Mirror-Score, a calibrated, inference-only scoring framework for heterochiral D-peptide/L-protein complexes, and a public benchmark of 31 crystal complexes across four target families, including 18 with literature-verified affinities. Raw ProteinMPNN NLL is not a valid affinity ranker: its pooled Spearman correlation with affinity is 0.19, and correlations reverse between MDM2/CHIP (+0.62) and gp41 (-0.70). We therefore evaluate Boltz-2 mirror-space cofolding confidence. For the complete viral-entry family (7 structures representing 3 peptides), interface predicted local distance difference test (pLDDT) achieves structure-level leave-one-out Spearman rho = 0.90 (p = 0.006) and correctly orders all three peptides by affinity, whereas NLL fails (structure-level rho = 0.18). Because only three independent chemotypes are represented, this result indicates directional consistency rather than a statistically validated predictor. Cross-family calibration does not transfer at current sample sizes, supporting family-matched calibration as the practical deployment mode. We also specify a prospective design protocol for the antimicrobial-resistance targets LasR and LecB from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including mirrored structures, ligand-derived hotspot maps, diffusion-model-ready inputs, and Mirror-Score ranking. Code, benchmark data, structures, and analysis scripts are openly available at https://github.com/Jiadalee/Mirror-Score.

D-肽结合了抗蛋白酶的能力与高靶向特异性，但D-肽结合物的计算设计仍不成熟。Mirror-Peptidizer引入了一种基于靶标反射、骨架生成和ProteinMPNN序列设计的计算镜像筛选管道，但其原始的ProteinMPNN负对数似然（NLL）排名未能与测量的亲和力进行验证，且在测试的9个MDM2设计中仅有4个可被检测到结合。我们引入了Mirror-Score，这是一种针对异手性D-肽/L-蛋白复合物的校准推理评分框架，并建立了一个包含31个晶体复合物的公共基准，涵盖四个靶标家族，其中18个具有文献验证的亲和力。原始的ProteinMPNN NLL并不是有效的亲和力排名工具：其与亲和力的合并Spearman相关系数为0.19，且在MDM2/CHIP（+0.62）和gp41（-0.70）之间的相关性相反。因此，我们评估了Boltz-2镜像空间共同折叠的置信度。对于完整的病毒入侵家族（7个结构代表3种肽），界面预测的局部距离差异测试（pLDDT）在结构层面上实现了留一法Spearman rho = 0.90（p = 0.006），并正确按亲和力排序了所有三种肽，而NLL失败（结构层面rho = 0.18）。由于仅代表三种独立的化学类型，这一结果表明了方向一致性，而非统计验证的预测因子。跨家族校准在当前样本量下并不适用，支持家族匹配校准作为实际应用模式。我们还为抗微生物耐药靶标LasR和LecB（来自铜绿假单胞菌）指定了一个前瞻性的设计协议，包括镜像结构、配体衍生的热点图、适合扩散模型的输入和Mirror-Score排名。代码、基准数据、结构和分析脚本可在https://github.com/Jiadalee/Mirror-Score上公开获取。

SMat-Attention: Structured Long-Context Sequence Modeling
SMat-Attention：结构化长上下文序列建模
Abstract
Long-context sequence models face a fundamental tradeoff: softmax attention uses flexible token-level interactions at quadratic cost, whereas linear attention obtains linear-time training and constant-time decoding by compressing history into a fixed-size state. In this work, we ask whether we can connect these regimes through a tunable notion of structure. To this end, we introduce Structured Matrix Attention (SMat-Attention) via a family of causal masks with structured long-range routing whose row supports have VC-dimension $d$. In our construction, $d=1$ recovers the standard causal mask, and increasing $d$ permits richer subset-routing patterns. We give chunkwise forward and backward algorithms to enable hardware-efficiency. For sequences of length $T$, the hard-routing construction takes $O(T^{2-3/d}+T)$ work, despite the mask being dense, for our prescribed family. In fixed-horizon streaming, decoding after the distant prefix takes constant time per token using $O(T^{1-1/d})$ cached states. SMat-Attention therefore makes VC-dimension an explicit knob governing access-pattern complexity, prefill cost, and decoding memory. Empirically, subset-routing and rule-assisted multi-key retrieval experiments illustrate the masks' routing expressiveness. Extensions to Mamba-2 and Gated DeltaNet using learned routing with top-$k$ query reads retain subquadratic prefill, improve recall accuracy over the backbones in several settings, and achieve comparable small-scale language-modeling performance.

长上下文序列模型面临一个基本的权衡：softmax 注意力在二次成本下使用灵活的令牌级交互，而线性注意力通过将历史压缩为固定大小的状态，实现线性时间训练和常数时间解码。在本研究中，我们探讨是否可以通过可调的结构概念将这两种模式连接起来。为此，我们引入了结构化矩阵注意力（SMat-Attention），通过一系列具有结构化长程路由的因果掩码，其行支持具有 VC 维度 $d$。在我们的构造中，当 $d=1$ 时恢复标准的因果掩码，增加 $d$ 则允许更丰富的子集路由模式。我们提供了分块前向和后向算法，以实现硬件效率。对于长度为 $T$ 的序列，尽管掩码是稠密的，硬路由构造的工作量为 $O(T^{2-3/d}+T)$。在固定时间窗口流式处理中，使用 $O(T^{1-1/d})$ 缓存状态，在远程前缀后每个令牌的解码时间为常数。因此，SMat-Attention 使 VC 维度成为一个显式的调节器，控制访问模式复杂性、预填充成本和解码内存。实证研究表明，子集路由和规则辅助的多键检索实验展示了掩码的路由表达能力。对 Mamba-2 和 Gated DeltaNet 的扩展使用学习路由与 top-$k$ 查询读取，保持亚二次预填充，在多个设置中提高了相较于基础模型的召回准确率，并在小规模语言建模性能上达到了可比的水平。

Abstract
We present LongCat-DeepResearch, a deep research system that combines an enhanced LongCat model with a multi-agent workflow for producing comprehensive, evidence-grounded reports. The workflow separates global planning from detailed investigation and coordinates revision at the section level. Multiple planning agents first explore external sources and refine an actionable research plan, termed ResearchSpec. Research agents then investigate and draft their assigned sections in parallel, gathering additional evidence in separate contexts as their analyses develop. Once the sections are assembled, global review guides targeted local revisions, reducing reliance on repeated full-report rewriting. This workflow also supports the construction of research tasks and trajectories for the mid-training and post-training of LongCat's general-purpose models. LongCat-DeepResearch achieves 55.25 on DeepResearchBench, 51.35 on DeepResearchBench II, and 79.83 on ResearchRubrics. On an in-house benchmark, it scores 76.04, ranking second among four compared systems. Development-set analyses show benefits from combining planning perspectives, while further planning refinement has mixed effects. Additional editing improves average automatic readability preference across two benchmarks, with different trends on each.

A Polyphonic Conception of AI Understanding
多声部的人工智能理解观
Abstract
When a doctor, a judge, or an engineer must decide whether to trust an AI model's output, they cannot avoid asking what the model understands. Purely mathematical or statistical descriptions struggle to distinguish trustworthy from untrustworthy outputs without reintroducing the question of AI understanding in all but name. Yet the question is ill-framed as it stands, because the inherited concept operates within a monophonic paradigm: the idea that a cognitive system's understanding of something must be localised to a single mechanism underpinning all the capacities conferred by such understanding. Drawing on a wide range of mechanistic evidence, we show that LLMs are pervasively polyphonic: outputs emerge from coalitions of parallel mechanisms of uneven reliability, which variously complement, duplicate, or drown out one another, with several coalitions sufficing for a task without any one being indispensable. Polyphony not only complicates attributions of understanding, but renders monophonic inference patterns hazardous. In response, we develop a conception of understanding fit for polyphonic AI. It centres on sound circuitry that is reliably and correctly recruited and in control of outputs. Attributions of understanding thereby become tractable claims about internal organisation, and can do the work of guiding trust in AI.

GeoOutageBench：基于模糊感知和本体驱动的地理时空知识图谱问答在多模态停电与韧性分析中的基准评估
Abstract
We introduce GeoOutageBench, a benchmark for assessing LLM-based geospatiotemporal KGQA for multimodal outage and resilience analysis. Unlike existing KGQA benchmarks for Web knowledge, GeoOutageBench considers a spatiotemporal KG that integrates visual, textual, and structured data from outage records, remote sensing, weather observations, storm and power events, geographic entities, and domain ontologies. It provides a competency query taxonomy at different difficulty levels from spatiotemporal containment and proximity, spatiotemporal co-occurrence analysis, multimodal evidence, to hypothetical evaluation. Over multimodal KG and query classes, GeoOutageBench provides user-configurable evaluation of three important, highly coherent yet less studied tasks: (1) LLMs' understanding for ambiguous geospatiotemporal questions in terms of NL to SPARQL interpretation, (2) query-driven assessment of ontology utility, and (3) answer accuracy of multimodal KGQA retrieval. GeoOutageBench provides a design principle and foundation for assessing LLM-KG systems that support real-world infrastructure resilience analysis.

An Exact Generate - Transform Decomposition of Small-LLM Team Scaling Across Orchestration Architectures
小型LLM团队在编排架构中的精确生成-转换分解
Abstract
Replacing one LLM agent with a collaborating team can raise accuracy, but whether scaling the team helps, and which architecture to scale, is unclear. Sweeping eight agent orchestration architectures across five instruction-tuned 7-9B models, five short-answer benchmarks, and an executable-code benchmark up to 30 calls, we find that the returns to team scaling are sharply task-dependent: from three to thirty calls accuracy rises by up to 17 points on the two arithmetic word-problem benchmarks (GSM8K, GSMHard) but by at most four on ARC, GPQA, and MMLU, for every architecture, a split the usual task-averaged number conceals. Proposer-Critic captures the arithmetic gains, scaling steepest and, in aggregate, surpassing every other architecture at the largest budget (item-clustered intervals exclude zero), though it ranks among the weakest elsewhere, and no architecture wins across tasks. We explain these trajectories with an exact generate-transform decomposition. Partitioning any workflow into proposal coverage and a downstream transform, any accuracy change splits exactly into an extensive coverage dividend and an intensive transformation change. The decomposition diagnoses each task: arithmetic offers coverage headroom that a critic-guided transform converts, whereas the multiple-choice benchmarks either saturate in coverage or fail to convert it, and on open-ended code generative recovery nearly vanishes so accuracy tracks coverage. At equal call budgets token cost still varies 2.1x. Extra calls therefore create candidate opportunity that only some architectures, on some tasks, convert. Team scaling is a task- and architecture-specific bet, not a uniform lever.

用一个协作团队替代单个LLM代理可以提高准确性，但团队规模的扩大是否有帮助，以及应选择哪种架构进行扩展尚不明确。通过对五个指令调优的7-9B模型、五个短答案基准和一个可执行代码基准进行最多30次调用的八种代理编排架构的广泛测试，我们发现团队规模的收益明显依赖于任务：在两个算术文字问题基准（GSM8K，GSMHard）上，从三次到三十次调用的准确性提高了最多17个点，而在ARC、GPQA和MMLU上最多只提高四个点，这一分裂掩盖了通常的任务平均数。Proposer-Critic捕捉了算术收益，扩展幅度最大，并且在总体上在最大预算下超越了其他所有架构（项目聚类区间不包括零），尽管在其他地方排名较弱，且没有任何架构在所有任务中获胜。我们用精确的生成-转换分解解释这些轨迹。将任何工作流程划分为提案覆盖和下游转换，任何准确性的变化都可以精确分解为广泛覆盖的红利和密集转换的变化。该分解对每个任务进行了诊断：算术任务提供了覆盖的余地，批评指导的转换将其转化，而多项选择基准要么在覆盖上饱和，要么未能转化，而在开放式代码生成恢复中几乎消失，因此准确性跟踪覆盖。在相同的调用预算下，令牌成本仍然变化2.1倍。因此，额外的调用创造了候选机会，只有一些架构在某些任务上能够转化。团队规模的扩展是一个特定于任务和架构的选择，而不是一个统一的杠杆。

The Layer Mystery of VLA: An Information-Theoretical Analysis of VLA Latent Interface
VLA的层次谜团：对VLA潜在接口的信息理论分析
Abstract
Vision-language-action (VLA) policies connect a pretrained vision-language backbone to an action head through a latent interface, but which backbone layers this interface should expose remains unclear. We study single-layer selection and multi-layer fusion for frozen backbones across three pretrained models and two manipulation benchmarks, LIBERO and CALVIN, with three policy-training seeds per configuration. Across three fusion mechanisms and three layer-subset strategies, 47 of 54 configurations underperform the best observed single-layer policy. Our stastical analysis further confirms that fusion's advantage is very limited. However, the best layer varies substantially across backbones and benchmarks, making layer selection consequential and exhaustive policy sweeps expensive. We further derive a reweighting equivalence between the proposed information-bottleneck objectives for action-conditioned InfoNCE and action prediction, motivating InfoNCE as a proxy for layer quality. Empirically, InfoNCE provides the most consistent positive association with policy success among four evaluated proxies. Selecting the layer with the highest InfoNCE score requires 9-33 times less GPU compute than exhaustive policy sweeps and reduces mean selection regret from 17.89 percentage points for deepest-layer selection to 3.71 points across six settings. Its mean regret is close to the 3.28-3.50 points achieved by fixed-layer heuristics optimized retrospectively using all six oracle sweeps, without requiring closed-loop evaluations during selection.

AdaST: Adaptive Coupling for Spatial-Temporal Forecasting
AdaST：用于时空预测的自适应耦合
Abstract
Spatial-temporal (ST) forecasting underpins many real-world systems such as traffic, climate, and energy networks. While existing methods implicitly assume strong spatiotemporal coupling, we observe that real-world ST data exhibits distinct coupling regimes, ranging from temporal-dominated and spatial-dominated to strongly coupled patterns. This mismatch causes current models to suffer from spurious dependencies and degraded performance when one correlation dominates. To overcome this limitation, we aim to dynamically modulate spatial and temporal modeling based on the data's inherent coupling structure. However, three key challenges exist: unknown coupling structure, heterogeneous coupling dynamics, and suboptimal spatial modeling. We propose AdaST, an adaptive ST forecasting framework that tackles these challenges through a decompose-recompose paradigm. AdaST factorizes inputs into components capturing different coupling patterns using heterogeneity-aware experts. Each component is processed by role-aligned modules, and a correlation-informed adaptive recomposer integrates them for final prediction. Extensive experiments confirm that AdaST significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, validating the necessity of an adaptive approach.

时空（ST）预测是许多现实世界系统的基础，例如交通、气候和能源网络。现有方法隐含地假设强时空耦合，但我们观察到现实世界的ST数据表现出不同的耦合模式，从以时间为主导、以空间为主导到强耦合模式。这种不匹配导致当前模型在某一相关性占主导时出现虚假依赖和性能下降。为了克服这一限制，我们旨在根据数据的固有耦合结构动态调节空间和时间建模。然而，存在三个关键挑战：未知的耦合结构、异质的耦合动态和次优的空间建模。我们提出了AdaST，一个自适应的ST预测框架，通过分解-重组范式来解决这些挑战。AdaST利用关注异质性的专家将输入分解为捕捉不同耦合模式的组件。每个组件由角色对齐的模块处理，相关性信息驱动的自适应重组器将它们整合以进行最终预测。大量实验确认AdaST显著优于最先进的基线，验证了自适应方法的必要性。

Memory Is a Derivation: The Distributed-Evidence Paradox in Long-Term Agents
记忆是一种推导：长期智能体中的分布证据悖论
Abstract
Long-running LLM agents compress past interactions into persistent memories that may be reused as premises for later tasks. This creates a distinct derivation problem: whether the memory actually follows from what the interaction history supports. Relevant evidence may be scattered across earlier interactions, while compression can introduce relations or event status that the history never established. A valid memory may therefore appear unsupported because its citations omit relevant evidence, while individually supported facts may be composed into a stronger statement the history never established. We characterize this problem through three coupled requirements: (1) Evidence scope; (2) Compositional validity; (3) Admission reliability. We therefore ask whether the interaction history available at write time supports what enters persistent memory. We introduce DerivAudit, a framework for auditing whether a memory is actually supported by the history available when it was written. The audit separates three questions: whether supporting evidence lies beyond writer-provided citations, whether the composed memory introduces unsupported meaning, and how write-time admission decisions affect later memory use. Across two natural memory corpora, audits using broader pre-write history recover support for nearly 60% of memories that appear unsupported from citations alone, while 17-21% remain unsupported after expansion. Yet broader evidence does not by itself make admission reliable: unsupported memories are still frequently admitted across verification models, and evidence expansion alone worsens it on two backbones.

长期运行的LLM智能体将过去的交互压缩为持久记忆，这些记忆可以作为后续任务的前提重新使用。这产生了一个独特的推导问题：记忆是否真正遵循交互历史所支持的内容。相关证据可能散布在早期的交互中，而压缩可能引入历史从未建立的关系或事件状态。因此，一个有效的记忆可能看起来没有支持，因为其引用省略了相关证据，而单独支持的事实可能被组合成一个历史上从未建立的更强声明。我们通过三个相互关联的要求来表征这个问题：（1）证据范围；（2）组合有效性；（3）接纳可靠性。因此，我们询问在写入时可用的交互历史是否支持进入持久记忆的内容。我们引入了DerivAudit，一个审计框架，用于检查记忆是否真正得到了写入时可用历史的支持。审计分离了三个问题：支持证据是否超出作者提供的引用，组合的记忆是否引入了不支持的含义，以及写入时的接纳决策如何影响后续的记忆使用。在两个自然记忆语料库中，使用更广泛的写前历史的审计恢复了近60%的看似没有支持的记忆，而17-21%在扩展后仍然没有支持。然而，更广泛的证据本身并不能使接纳可靠：在验证模型中，仍然频繁接纳不支持的记忆，而仅凭证据扩展在两个基础模型上反而加剧了这一问题。

More Features Are Not More Evidence: Limits of Training-Free Human Activity Recognition with Jev
更多特征并不意味着更多证据：无训练人类活动识别的局限性与Jev
Abstract
General-purpose models promise sensor-based decisions without training a task-specific classifier, which could reduce the dependence of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) on labeled data. Yet it remains unclear whether such models can directly interpret deterministic descriptions of physical sensor signals well enough to replace or complement trained HAR models. We study this question using Jev, a fixed general-purpose probabilistic decision model, on 1,800 class-balanced accelerometer windows from WISDM, UCI341, and PAMAP2. Jev receives no labeled examples, retrieval context, or HAR-specific parameter updates. We evaluate three deterministic sensor representations and compare 5,400 Jev decisions with a generative baseline and three supervised HAR models. Jev remains far below supervised recognition, with its strongest representation reaching macro-F1 of 0.038, 0.118, and 0.089 across the three datasets, compared with 0.686 to 0.907 for the supervised models. More numerical features do not improve Jev. Instead, they reduce recognition on all three datasets, while augmenting the same numerical evidence with a deterministic semantic rendering partially recovers performance, although the experiment does not isolate semantics from the accompanying serialization and redundancy changes. Jev is fast and inexpensive to query, but its probabilities are not reliably calibrated for recognition. A post-hoc fusion analysis finds a small improvement on WISDM that does not replicate on UCI341 or PAMAP2. These results show that training-free sensor decisions depend not only on the information available in the signal, but also on whether the model can use the representation through which that information is exposed. The sensor-to-model interface should therefore be treated as part of the model evaluation rather than as a neutral preprocessing step.

通用模型承诺在不训练特定任务分类器的情况下进行基于传感器的决策，这可能减少人类活动识别（HAR）对标记数据的依赖。然而，目前尚不清楚这些模型是否能够直接解释物理传感器信号的确定性描述，以足够的准确性替代或补充训练的HAR模型。我们使用Jev（一种固定的通用概率决策模型）对来自WISDM、UCI341和PAMAP2的1,800个类别平衡的加速度计窗口进行了研究。Jev不接收标记示例、检索上下文或HAR特定参数更新。我们评估了三种确定性传感器表示，并将5,400个Jev决策与一个生成基线和三种监督HAR模型进行了比较。Jev的表现远低于监督识别，其最强的表示在三个数据集上的宏F1值分别为0.038、0.118和0.089，而监督模型的宏F1值为0.686至0.907。更多的数值特征并未改善Jev的表现。相反，这些特征在所有三个数据集上的识别率都降低，而通过确定性语义呈现增强相同的数值证据则部分恢复了性能，尽管实验并未将语义与伴随的序列化和冗余变化分离。Jev查询速度快且成本低，但其概率在识别方面并未可靠校准。后期融合分析发现，在WISDM上有小幅提升，但在UCI341或PAMAP2上未能复制。这些结果表明，无训练的传感器决策不仅依赖于信号中可用的信息，还依赖于模型是否能够利用通过该信息暴露的表示。因此，传感器与模型的接口应被视为模型评估的一部分，而不是中立的预处理步骤。

Principled Thoughts for Latent Recursive LLM Systems
潜在递归大型语言模型系统的原则性思考
Abstract
Large language models can reason in continuous space instead of decoded text, by recurring on their own hidden states or by passing those states between agents, while training supervises only the Cross-Entropy (CE) of the final decoded answer and does not constrain the thought. Theoretical and empirical analyses establish and confirm four failures of CE-only training that lead to a lower probability of the correct answer such as collapsing thoughts across distinct questions and retaining irrelevant information. We introduce REST (REpresentation-Supervised Thoughts), a training objective that turns four properties of a valid thought representation (causality, minimality, separability, and stability) into differentiable losses added to CE. We instantiate it in latent single-agent and multi-agent systems, without architectural changes or added parameters at inference. Across 7 benchmarks spanning mathematics, science, medicine, and code generation, with the same training data, compute, and latent budget, REST increases accuracy over CE-only training across agent settings and model sizes by up to 7.5 percentage points and convergence on a final answer by 30\%. Furthermore, REST thoughts encode more of what is required to achieve the correct answer, and decoding them better recovers the intended output of the agent, which makes latent communication easier to interpret.

FigAct: Turning Scientific Figures into Active Canvases for Explanation
FigAct：将科学图形转变为主动讲解的画布
Abstract
Scientific figures are designed to communicate information visually, yet MLLMs typically explain them by translating their visual content back into text. This requires readers to manually map the resulting explanations back to the figure. Inspired by how people present visual information, we introduce FigAct, a framework that transforms static scientific figures into question-conditioned visual presentations by acting directly on their existing graphical elements. Like a human presenter, FigAct generates a sequence of short narrations, grounds each narration in the corresponding visual evidence, and applies visual actions to guide the viewer's attention. We develop a hierarchical search strategy for efficient element localization, reducing token usage by approximately 40$\times$. We further train FigAct-8B using three task-specific rewards for grounding accuracy, search efficiency, and rendering quality. We further build a human-verified benchmark from figures in real-world scientific papers to evaluate the ability of MLLMs to generate grounded visual explanations. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of FigAct and show that treating scientific figures as presentation canvases makes explanations clearer and easier to follow.

An Empirical Study and Assessment of EU AI Act Compliance Checkers
欧盟人工智能法合规检查工具的实证研究与评估
Abstract
The EU AI Act introduces extensive compliance requirements for organizations that develop, deploy, or integrate AI systems. Many of these requirements are directly relevant to security and privacy, while also addressing closely related issues such as data governance, transparency, accuracy, and robustness. However, stakeholders such as small-to-medium businesses and individual developers often lack the legal expertise required to interpret these obligations and translate them into engineering and governance practices. This disconnect creates challenges for implementing the EU AI Act and may lead to missing safeguards or misdirected development and deployment efforts. To address this, various automated EU AI Act compliance checkers (AIACCs) have emerged, claiming to streamline compliance assessments and provide practical guidance. In this paper, we present the first empirical study and assessment of AIACCs. We characterize 12 mainstream AIACCs across multiple dimensions, evaluate their legal coverage and alignment, and analyze checker-generated compliance reports for structure, determinacy, and actionability. We find that the quality of AIACCs varies significantly and that they currently can only serve as early-stage orientation tools. Specifically, we observe inconsistent interaction modes and user-friendliness, a tendency to overly simplify or omit key obligations, and a failure to provide determinate, actionable guidance. As a result, reliance on the current generation of AIACCs may foster a false sense of compliance. With our study, we provide a critical baseline of the current AIACC landscape. We further offer design principles for the implementation of more reliable compliance-support tools.

MERID: Multimodal Exploration via Recursive Self-Improvement Agents for Major Depression Analysis
MERID：通过递归自我改进代理进行多模态探索以分析重度抑郁症
Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) severely impacts daily activities and quality of life. Detecting MDD involves multimodal data, such as interview recordings and sensor measurements. This is particularly challenging, as these heterogeneous modalities often demand distinct, customized prediction pipelines. Existing efforts to address this challenge have explored both manually engineered multimodal architectures and agent-assisted pipeline development. Despite their progress, it remains challenging to autonomously revise pipelines based on experimental feedback and carry verified improvements forward into subsequent designs. To this end, we propose Multimodal Exploration via Recursive Self-Improvement Agents for Major Depression Analysis (MERID). The framework develops depression pipelines through experience-based recursive self-improvement (RSI). Grounded State Construction (GSC) grounds experience by aligning multimodal records with subject-level depression targets. Coupled Pipeline Exploration (CPE) jointly modifies representations, fusion, and predictors to build successor pipelines for classification and severity estimation. Evidence-Guided Evolution (EGE) guides revisions through feedback and verifies gains under uncertainty in small depression cohorts before inheritance. Extensive experiments on depression benchmarks show that MERID achieves the best results on multiple tasks compared with multimodal and agent-based baselines. Further analysis highlights the value of acoustic and linguistic cues for depression detection. Our code is available at https://github.com/DiscoAILab/MERID

ChronoSRL: Temporal Geometry for Self-Supervised Reinforcement Learning
ChronoSRL：自监督强化学习的时间几何
Abstract
A goal that is close in space can be far away in time. Obstacles, terrain, and the agent's own capabilities determine how long it takes to get there. Yet, critics in contrastive and survival reinforcement learning do not measure the distances in their representation space in units of time. We therefore introduce ChronoSRL, which gives the critic's embeddings an explicit temporal geometry. The distance between state-action and goal embeddings is trained to match the time that the agent takes to reach the goal (goal-reaching time), while goals that were not reached, and goals from other trajectories, are pushed at least one discount horizon away. Furthermore, reaching a goal quickly once does not mean that reaching it is reliable in general, so the policy should not follow the temporal distance directly. Instead, we build on survival reinforcement learning and predict from our temporal embeddings not only the full distribution of goal-reaching times but also the time spent near the goal. Thereby, the policy is trained to favor actions that reach the goal sooner and more reliably and that keep the agent near it. ChronoSRL learns faster and reaches higher performance than contrastive, action-chunked contrastive, and survival reinforcement learning baselines on seven standard locomotion and navigation benchmarks, even with much smaller networks. To test the limits of self-supervised reinforcement learning, we introduce velocity tracking, goal-position reaching, and box climbing tasks with a quadruped robot in a realistic sim-to-real locomotion setup, and show how the shaping terms that are typical for robotics can be naturally incorporated into our framework. ChronoSRL is the only one of the tested self-supervised reinforcement learning methods that learns to stay at the commanded velocities and goal positions, and climbs the highest boxes.

CoRe: Co-Evolving Reward Models for Mitigating Latent Reward Hacking in Video Diffusion Models
CoRe：用于缓解视频扩散模型中潜在奖励操控的共同演化奖励模型
Abstract
Latent reward models (LRMs) enable efficient alignment of video diffusion models by scoring intermediate states directly in latent space. However, we find that optimizing against a fixed latent reward rapidly leads to latent reward hacking: the predicted reward stays high while perceptual and motion quality deteriorate. Our analysis identifies distributional escape as the central cause: within a few hundred updates, the generator moves beyond the reward model's training support, where its scores no longer reflect video quality. Based on this insight, we introduce CoRe, a co-evolving reward framework that treats latent-space alignment as a dynamic interaction between the generator and the reward model. Rather than optimizing against a stationary proxy, CoRe continually refits the reward model on the generator's current samples while anchoring it to real-video preferences, so the generator cannot gain reward by drifting away from the data. On Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B, experiments show that CoRe consistently improves generation quality over both the pretrained model and prior alignment methods, while avoiding the quality collapse of fixed-reward optimization.

潜在奖励模型（LRMs）通过直接在潜在空间中对中间状态进行评分，从而实现视频扩散模型的高效对齐。然而，我们发现针对固定潜在奖励进行优化会迅速导致潜在奖励操控：预测的奖励保持高位，而感知和运动质量却在下降。我们的分析确定了分布逃逸作为主要原因：在几百次更新内，生成器超出了奖励模型的训练支持，其评分不再反映视频质量。基于这一见解，我们提出了CoRe，一种共同演化奖励框架，将潜在空间对齐视为生成器与奖励模型之间的动态互动。CoRe并不是针对一个静态代理进行优化，而是不断根据生成器当前样本重新调整奖励模型，同时将其锚定于真实视频偏好，从而使生成器无法通过偏离数据来获取奖励。在Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B上的实验表明，CoRe在生成质量上始终优于预训练模型和先前的对齐方法，同时避免了固定奖励优化导致的质量崩溃。

Towards Mitigating Deceptive Safety Alignment in Large Reasoning Models
缓解大型推理模型中的欺骗性安全对齐
Abstract
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) are commonly trained with reinforcement learning (RL) to improve their generation of chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning before producing final answers. However, RL rewards are typically assigned based on final answers, providing little or no direct supervision over intermediate reasoning. This can lead to deceptive safety alignment, where the reasoning trace and final answer convey inconsistent safety signals. To systematically investigate this phenomenon, we introduce DSAR (Deceptive Safety Alignment Rate), a metric that jointly assesses reasoning traces and final answers to quantify their safety inconsistency. Across multiple LRMs and benchmarks, we find that deceptive safety alignment is pervasive under standard prompting conditions and is substantially amplified under prefilling attacks. We further provide a hidden representation analysis showing that models exhibit stronger safety discrimination at the final-answer stage than during intermediate reasoning. To close this gap, we propose SARA (Safety-Aware Reasoning Alignment), an RL-based method that rewards both safety-aware reasoning and safe final answers, encouraging early harmful intent recognition and enforcing reasoning-answer consistency. Experiments show that SARA significantly mitigates deceptive safety alignment under both standard and adversarial settings while preserving helpfulness and utility. Code is available at https://github.com/xzhou98/SARA.

大型推理模型（LRMs）通常通过强化学习（RL）进行训练，以改善其在生成最终答案之前的思维链（CoT）推理。然而，RL奖励通常是基于最终答案分配的，对中间推理几乎没有或没有直接监督。这可能导致欺骗性安全对齐，即推理过程和最终答案传达不一致的安全信号。为了系统地研究这一现象，我们引入了DSAR（欺骗性安全对齐率），这一指标共同评估推理过程和最终答案，以量化它们的安全不一致性。在多个LRMs和基准测试中，我们发现，在标准提示条件下，欺骗性安全对齐普遍存在，并在预填充攻击下显著加剧。我们进一步提供了隐藏表示分析，显示模型在最终答案阶段的安全辨别能力强于中间推理阶段。为了缩小这一差距，我们提出了SARA（安全意识推理对齐），这是一种基于RL的方法，奖励安全意识推理和安全最终答案，鼓励早期识别有害意图并强制推理与答案的一致性。实验表明，SARA在标准和对抗环境下显著减轻了欺骗性安全对齐，同时保持了有用性和效用。代码可在 https://github.com/xzhou98/SARA 获取。

OTROPE：基于最优传输的鲁棒离线策略评估用于大型语言模型
Abstract
Reliable evaluation of large language models (LLMs) is essential for their development and deployment, yet is often costly, risky, and difficult to perform safely online. We study off-policy evaluation for LLMs, where limited human-labeled data from a behavior model are used to evaluate a newer target LLM. This setting is challenging because labels are scarce, behavior--target distribution shift is common, and response likelihoods are often unavailable for black-box LLMs. We propose the Optimal Transport-based Robust Off-Policy Evaluation (OTROPE), a likelihood-free evaluation that performs distributional correction in a semantic space via optimal transport to align labeled behavior-policy samples with unlabeled target-policy samples. OTROPE combines corrected human-labeled residuals with proxy predictors, yielding a doubly robust-style evaluation without behavior-policy modeling or density-ratio estimation. We theoretically characterize why baseline evaluators fail under LLM distribution shift, and establish consistency and convergence rates for OTROPE when either the reweighted behavior distribution or the proxy predictor converges. Experiments on synthetic and real LLM evaluation tasks show that OTROPE consistently outperforms baselines while enabling ensembles of weaker LLM evaluators to approach and sometimes surpass stronger evaluators.

对大型语言模型（LLMs）的可靠评估对于其开发和部署至关重要，但通常代价高昂、风险大，并且在在线环境中安全执行困难。我们研究了LLMs的离线策略评估，其中使用来自行为模型的有限人类标注数据来评估更新的目标LLM。这种设置具有挑战性，因为标签稀缺、行为与目标分布的偏移普遍存在，并且对于黑箱LLMs，响应概率通常不可用。我们提出了基于最优传输的鲁棒离线策略评估（OTROPE），这是一种无似然评估，通过最优传输在语义空间中执行分布校正，以将标注的行为策略样本与未标注的目标策略样本对齐。OTROPE将校正后的人工标注残差与代理预测器结合，产生一种双重鲁棒风格的评估，而无需行为策略建模或密度比估计。我们从理论上阐明了基线评估器在LLM分布偏移下失败的原因，并建立了当重新加权的行为分布或代理预测器收敛时，OTROPE的一致性和收敛速率。在合成和真实LLM评估任务上的实验表明，OTROPE始终优于基线，同时使得一组较弱的LLM评估器能够接近并有时超越更强的评估器。代码可在 https://github.com/LinerXiang/OTROPE 获取。

From Surfaces to Volumes: Registered Geometry for Protein Representation Learning
从表面到体积：用于蛋白质表示学习的注册几何
Abstract
Existing protein geometry models typically represent molecular surfaces using local geometric features such as sampled points, normals, and curvature. While effective for capturing exposed molecular shape, these representations do not explicitly model the volumetric organization beneath the surface or provide a consistent coordinate system for residue-wise volumetric structure. We introduce Protein-TetSphere, a registered residue-wise volumetric representation for proteins. Each protein chain is tetrahedralized to obtain local volumetric regions associated with individual residues, which are then registered to a shared fixed-topology tetrahedral reference and represented in a common Laplacian basis. This registration establishes consistent volumetric coordinates across residues, enabling local three-dimensional deformation to be integrated with surface and chemical information in a multimodal protein representation. We evaluate Protein-TetSphere on ligand-binding pocket classification, protein--protein interface prediction, and de novo protein binder design. Across the three tasks, Protein-TetSphere improves ligand-binding pocket balanced accuracy from $0.795$ to $0.826$, Pinder-Pair/Site AUROC from $0.914/0.852$ to $0.932/0.866$, and binder-design success from $14.95\%$ to $19.90\%$ on the BoltzGen Challenge Set and from $27.62\%$ to $32.19\%$ at the ProtDBench backbone level. These results show that registered volumetric geometry provides complementary spatial information beyond molecular surfaces across protein recognition, interaction, and design.

现有的蛋白质几何模型通常使用局部几何特征（如采样点、法线和曲率）来表示分子表面。尽管这些表示在捕捉暴露的分子形状方面有效，但它们并未明确建模表面下的体积组织，也未提供一致的坐标系统以表示残基级的体积结构。我们提出了Protein-TetSphere，这是一种针对蛋白质的注册残基级体积表示。每条蛋白质链被四面体化，以获得与个别残基相关的局部体积区域，这些区域随后被注册到一个共享的固定拓扑四面体参考系，并在一个共同的拉普拉斯基底中表示。这种注册在残基之间建立了一致的体积坐标，使局部三维变形能够与表面和化学信息结合在多模态蛋白质表示中。我们在配体结合口袋分类、蛋白质-蛋白质界面预测和新型蛋白质结合剂设计等任务上评估了Protein-TetSphere。在这三项任务中，Protein-TetSphere将配体结合口袋的平衡准确率从0.795提高到0.826，Pinder-Pair/Site的AUROC从0.914/0.852提高到0.932/0.866，结合剂设计的成功率在BoltzGen挑战集上从14.95%提高到19.90%，在ProtDBench骨干水平上从27.62%提高到32.19%。这些结果表明，注册的体积几何提供了超越分子表面的互补空间信息，适用于蛋白质的识别、相互作用和设计。

Illusory Truth or Mere Exposure? Model-Dependent Repetition Effects in LLM-Based Social Media Simulations
错觉真理还是单纯曝光？基于大型语言模型的社交媒体模拟中的模型依赖重复效应
Abstract
Generative agent-based models (GABMs) are increasingly used to simulate social media dynamics, including misinformation spread. For such social simulations to be valid proxies of human behavior, LLM agents should replicate established human cognitive biases, among them the Illusory Truth Effect (ITE), where repeated exposure to a claim increases its perceived truth value. We investigate whether and how the ITE manifests across four LLMs (Gemma-3-4b-it, Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct, Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, and GPT-5-nano) in a social media simulation context. We propose a two-phase within-context experimental design that embeds the repetition manipulation inside a realistic news feed interaction. Using this design, we collect 336,000 truth, importance, sentiment, and interest ratings across 100 statements, 10 feed variants, and 3 replications. The key comparison is between ratings assigned to repeated statements, seen throughout a simulation phase, and completely unseen ones, rated within the same experimental context window. We distinguish genuine ITE (truth-specific repetition boost) from mere exposure effects. We run an OLS regression followed by a Linear Mixed-Effect Model to account for differences across models and ratings. Our results reveal four qualitatively distinct patterns: Gemma-3 exhibits a genuine ITE; Qwen2.5 shows a mere exposure effect; GPT-5-nano displays no repetition effect on truth and mild skepticism toward repeated content; Llama-3.1 shows a small truth boost alongside decreases in evaluative dimensions. Crucially, temperature has no effect on these findings, and a variance decomposition highlights the high context-sensitivity of LLM rating behavior. Our findings caution against assuming uniform ITE replication across LLMs in social simulations, while suggesting that Gemma-3-4b-it may offer the most behaviorally realistic approximation for misinformation-related simulations.

生成代理模型（GABMs）在模拟社交媒体动态，包括虚假信息传播方面的应用日益增多。为了使这些社交模拟能够有效地代表人类行为，LLM（大型语言模型）代理应当复制已建立的人类认知偏差，其中包括错觉真理效应（ITE），即对某一主张的重复曝光会增加其被感知的真实性。我们研究ITE在四个LLM（Gemma-3-4b-it、Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct、Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct和GPT-5-nano）在社交媒体模拟环境中的表现及其方式。我们提出了一种两阶段的情境内实验设计，将重复操作嵌入到现实的新闻推送互动中。通过该设计，我们收集了336,000个关于100个陈述、10个推送变体和3次重复实验的真实性、重要性、情感和兴趣评分。关键比较在于对在模拟阶段中反复出现的陈述和在同一实验情境窗口内完全未见的陈述所赋予的评分。我们区分了真正的ITE（特定于真实性的重复提升）与单纯曝光效应。我们进行了普通最小二乘回归（OLS）分析，随后使用线性混合效应模型（Linear Mixed-Effect Model）来考虑不同模型和评分之间的差异。我们的结果揭示了四种质上不同的模式：Gemma-3表现出真正的ITE；Qwen2.5显示出单纯曝光效应；GPT-5-nano对真实性没有重复效应，并对重复内容表现出轻微的怀疑；Llama-3.1则显示出小幅的真实性提升，同时在评估维度上有所下降。重要的是，温度对这些发现没有影响，方差分解强调了LLM评分行为的高度情境敏感性。我们的发现提醒我们在社交模拟中不要假设LLM之间的ITE复制是统一的，同时建议Gemma-3-4b-it可能为与虚假信息相关的模拟提供了最具行为现实性的近似。

CheatBench: Measuring Reward Gaming in AI Agents
CheatBench：测量人工智能代理中的奖励操控
Abstract
Reinforcement learning has helped AI agents solve increasingly difficult tasks, but high rewards do not always reflect the work users intended. In recent incidents and controlled evaluations across the AI industry, agents trained to maximize reward have accessed unauthorized information, attempted to evade monitoring systems, and even breached sandbox protections to attack external systems. As agents become more capable, this behavior could pose increasingly serious risks. To measure this problem, we introduce CheatBench, a benchmark of cheating in AI agents across mathematical research, knowledge work, coding, visual tasks, and other domains. Its environments combine challenging assignments with opportunities to cheat, allowing researchers to study how agents pursue a goal when honest work is difficult. CheatBench supports comparisons across models and task categories, providing a testbed for measuring and reducing cheating as agents take on more consequential responsibilities. We publicly release CheatBench at https://cheatbench.ai

StateTape: Action-Conditioned Evidence Lifecycle Modeling for Long-Horizon Coding Agents
StateTape：面向长时间编码代理的动作条件证据生命周期建模
Abstract
Despite the recent success of coding agents built on large language models, it remains challenging to run them over long horizons, since every observation is appended to the context and the context grows with each one. History-based maintenance is a common remedy, which masks or summarizes old observations, or prunes what a model reads as useless, and bounds the context at little cost. However, it decides from the text of the history alone and sees nothing of how the code is connected. Since a coding agent edits code many times over a single task, and each write can change what code elsewhere means, such maintenance may keep records a write has falsified, drop ones that still hold, and miss code the agent needs next. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes StateTape, a novel and scalable framework that rewrites a coding agent's context as the repository changes rather than as the context grows. The key idea of StateTape is to model the repository as a symbol-level code graph, whose dependencies and language rules expose which symbols a write can affect. Upon this graph, a tape marks the symbols each write changed, which turns staleness from an inference about text into an observation of the agent's writes. We propose a per-write procedure in which the tape nominates the records a write could have falsified while a small manager model settles what the write log cannot, and further provide a theoretical analysis and TraceBench, a benchmark that labels what an agent is holding against what is actually needed. Empirically, we demonstrate that StateTape can effectively clear falsified records and retrieve what is needed, and thus achieve a higher resolve rate in all experiments spanned by six coding agents and three edit-heavy benchmarks with little computational overhead.

尽管基于大型语言模型构建的编码代理最近取得了成功，但在长时间运行它们仍然具有挑战性，因为每个观察都被附加到上下文中，并且上下文随着每次观察而增长。基于历史的维护是一种常见的解决方案，它掩盖或总结旧的观察，或修剪模型读取为无用的信息，并以较小的代价限制上下文。然而，它仅根据历史文本做出决策，而无法看到代码之间的连接。由于编码代理在单个任务中多次编辑代码，每次写入都可能改变其他地方代码的含义，因此这种维护可能会保留一个写入所伪造的记录，丢弃仍然有效的记录，并错过代理下一步所需的代码。为了解决这些挑战，本文提出了StateTape，这是一种新颖且可扩展的框架，它在代码库变化时重写编码代理的上下文，而不是在上下文增长时。StateTape的关键思想是将代码库建模为符号级代码图，其依赖关系和语言规则揭示了写入可以影响哪些符号。在这个图上，一个带子标记了每次写入所改变的符号，这将过时性从对文本的推断转变为对代理写入的观察。我们提出了一种逐写过程，其中带子提名一个写入可能伪造的记录，而一个小型管理模型则解决写入日志无法解决的问题，并进一步提供理论分析和TraceBench，一个基准测试，标记代理所持有的内容与实际所需内容之间的关系。通过实证研究，我们证明了StateTape能够有效清除伪造的记录并检索所需内容，从而在六个编码代理和三个以编辑为主的基准测试的所有实验中实现更高的解决率，并且计算开销很小。

PILLAR: Private Inverted-Index Lexical Lookup for Augmented Retrieval
PILLAR：用于增强检索的私密反向索引词汇查找
Abstract
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) hands the user's query to whoever hosts the corpus. We propose PILLAR, a Privacy-Preserving RAG (PPRAG) system based on Private Information Retrieval (PIR) in which a client utilizes the k documents most similar to their query from a server-held and publicly known corpus to respond to their query, while the server learns nothing about the query, either its terms or its access pattern. Prior PPRAG constructions rely on dense retrieval alone, translating approximate nearest-neighbor search into many query-dependent rounds of PIR, and pay for it in both latency and retrieval quality. PILLAR instead performs private hybrid retrieval in two stages. A sparse stage issues a small, fixed number of PIR queries against a carefully designed index of precomputed BM25 scores, filtering the corpus down to candidates that share terms with the query without the server ever seeing which terms these are. A dense stage then fetches only those candidates' document embeddings and re-ranks them locally, avoiding the many costly PIR queries that private dense retrieval typically requires. We instantiate PILLAR with two protocols that trade latency against retrieval quality, each built on a different private rendering of lexical search. PILLAR-Bin bins posting lists into a hash table and is a single-round design that achieves lower latency than state-of-the-art private retrieval schemes. PILLAR-Tree turns block-max pruning into an oblivious tree traversal combined with cuckoo hash tables and achieves the highest retrieval quality at lower latency than state-of-the-art schemes.

ThuRunel: Dynamic Decoupling for Structured Advisory Dialogue
ThuRunel：结构化咨询对话的动态解耦
Abstract
High-stakes advisory domains such as medical aesthetics, legal consultation, and educational planning exhibit a two-phase structure. The early phase requires empathetic elicitation and emotional support, and the late phase requires authoritative specialist judgment. Neither fully automated agents nor human junior consultants adequately address this structure at scale. We formalize the core design challenge as dynamic decoupling, asking how an AI advisory agent should decide what to ask, when to stop, what to resolve autonomously, and what to forward to the specialist. We present ThuRunel, an advisory agent combining a finite-state belief management framework, a chain-of-thought teacher synthesis protocol, and learned generation adapters. Against eleven baselines, ThuRunel achieves consistent improvements in elicitation completeness and specialist brief quality. ThuRunel is publicly deployed as a bilingual web application in which the same decoupling decisions operate from the client's side, grounded in a curated knowledge base that cites its sources in every answer.

HyperZip: Efficient Data Compression through Personalized Diffusion LLMs with Hypernetworks
HyperZip：通过个性化扩散大语言模型与超网络实现高效数据压缩
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong potential for lossless data compression, but existing approaches are constrained by the high computational cost and low throughput of autoregressive decoding. We propose HyperZip, an efficient and scalable LLM-based compression framework that leverages diffusion-based LLMs (dLLMs) with Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) to accelerate LLM-based data compression processes. We identify a trade-off in diffusion-based compression, where increasing decoding throughput degrades the compression rate. To mitigate this trade-off, HyperZip employs a hypernetwork to generate data-specific updates from a context representation, adapting the dLLM to the target data without costly fine-tuning, resulting in a low compression rate and high throughput. Extensive experiments show that HyperZip achieves a superior trade-off between compression rate and speed compared with state-of-the-art baselines.

Better Nearest Neighbor Graph Indices via (Efficient) LLM-Guided Pruning
通过（高效的）LLM引导修剪优化最近邻图索引
Abstract
Graph-based approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) is widely used for large-scale semantic search. Its indices are constructed primarily based on geometric relationships among embeddings of an input dataset (e.g., documents or images), rather than explicitly optimizing for semantic relevance. However, when using these indices for downstream query retrieval, performance is evaluated based on the semantic relevance of the retrieved results to the query. This creates a fundamental "geometry-semantic" mismatch between how the indices are constructed and how their retrieval results are evaluated. While existing LLM-based reranking methods can partially mitigate this mismatch at query time, they leave this underlying structural problem in the graph unresolved. We therefore propose LLM-Guided Graph Pruning (LGP), a general framework that addresses this mismatch directly by leveraging LLM reasoning to refine an existing ANN graph index itself. LGP identifies structurally "low-value" neighbors of nodes and replaces them with LLM-selected alternatives that provide useful semantic information while retaining desired geometric structures of the original graph, including sparsity and efficient navigability. Experiments on representative semantic retrieval benchmarks show that LGP consistently improves end-to-end retrieval performance over both vanilla greedy graph search and LLM-based reranking across widely used graph-based ANN indices such as DiskANN and HNSW.

基于图的近似最近邻搜索（ANNS）在大规模语义搜索中被广泛使用。其索引主要基于输入数据集（例如文档或图像）中嵌入的几何关系构建，而不是明确优化语义相关性。然而，当使用这些索引进行下游查询检索时，性能是基于检索结果与查询的语义相关性进行评估的。这在索引构建方式与检索结果评估方式之间造成了根本的“几何-语义”不匹配。虽然现有的基于LLM的重新排序方法在查询时可以部分缓解这种不匹配，但它们并没有解决图中的这一潜在结构性问题。因此，我们提出了LLM引导图修剪（LGP），这是一个通用框架，通过利用LLM推理直接解决这一不匹配，来优化现有的ANN图索引。LGP识别节点的结构性“低价值”邻居，并用LLM选择的替代者替换它们，这些替代者提供有用的语义信息，同时保留原始图的期望几何结构，包括稀疏性和高效可导航性。在代表性的语义检索基准上的实验表明，LGP在广泛使用的基于图的ANN索引（如DiskANN和HNSW）上，始终优于传统贪婪图搜索和基于LLM的重新排序，显著提高了端到端检索性能。

Engineering Simplicity: Simple Mechanism Interfaces Steer LLM Agents
工程简约：简单机制接口引导大型语言模型代理
Abstract
Can interaction formats and textual scaffolds help large language model (LLM) agents make better decisions, and do better decisions come with better explanations? We study these questions in auctions and matching, multi-agent environments with explicit rules and known optimal strategies. These settings let us vary how a decision problem is presented while retaining a benchmark for evaluating behavior. Drawing on human-motivated theories of simplicity, we compare interfaces that elicit a complete bid or ranking with sequential interfaces that make safe choices easier to identify. We then hold the interaction format fixed and vary reasoning scaffolds and rule descriptions. Across four model families, the ascending auction interface substantially reduces bid deviations. The matching comparison also shows why sequential responses require different error accounting from complete rankings. Laying out payoff contingencies and explaining why truth-telling is safe also improve choices, whereas prompts to plan through matching rounds or form beliefs about opponents worsen play overall. In auctions, these behavioral gains are not accompanied by corresponding improvements in measured verbal indicators of strategic understanding in the agents' short stated plans. Other prompts change those indicators without improving bids. Our findings suggest that human-motivated theories of simplicity can inform the design of decision environments for artificial agents. They also show why scaffolds should be evaluated through realized choices as well as explanations: improvements in one need not appear in the other.

Support-Set Target Leakage in Relational Foundation Models during In-Context Learning: Impact, Detection, and Mitigation
关系基础模型在上下文学习中的支持集目标泄漏：影响、检测与缓解
Abstract
Relational in-context learning (ICL) conditions predictions on the labeled support examples and their linked tables, creating a failure mode when the support set contains target-derived features that are unavailable for the query. We formulate this problem as support-set target leakage, distinct from leakage during dataset construction, temporal splitting, or representation learning. Here, the target-derived (leaker) columns are present only in the labeled support set during relational in-context inference, while queries remain clean. We construct 14 synthetic leaker types, corresponding to 20 columns, spanning proxies with different noise levels, coverage, modalities, semantic transparency, and relational distances. We evaluate a frozen relational encoder with an ICL head on held-out RelBench databases and use Integrated Gradients (IG) to rank and remove suspicious columns. Our results show that the effect of support-set leakage varies across tasks and relational distances. Target-table leakers cause the clearest degradation, while one- and two-hop leakers are not consistently used by the model. IG ranks target-table leakers highly across datasets and partially recovers performance in settings where leakage has the largest effect.

Persona Dosing: Calibrated Activation Steering for Graded Trait Control
个性剂量：用于分级特征控制的校准激活引导
Abstract
An activation-steering coefficient sets intervention strength, but requesting a particular degree of persona expression requires a behavioral scale. We study persona dosing: controlling a language model through a trait description and a requested mean intensity. PersonaDose specializes a shared, description-conditioned FLAS controller on persona responses, then calibrates its flow time against measured trait expression. Training responses are not paired with requested target intensities. Across Llama-3.1-8B, Qwen3-8B, and Gemma-3-4B, PersonaDose raises core-trait expression at the Persona Vectors coherence floor of 75 by 33.2, 18.3, and 17.8 points over contrastive activation addition. Calibration-selected settings retain an expression advantage on held-out questions, although the coherence floor does not hold for every trait there. Across seven trained traits, calibrated requests yield mean targeting errors of 4.7-6.2 points over 14-22 calibration-reachable targets out of 28 per model. These results separate the behavioral range learned by a controller from the accuracy of requests within that range.

ARCagent contributes three components. First, a 1,706-chunk, 10-source knowledge base with a structured inter-guideline conflict registry spanning all active ME/CFS diagnostic frameworks. Second, a conflict-aware retrieval calibration pipeline that re-ranks retrieved evidence using query-specific focus and conflict signals. Third, a benchmark scored by LLM-as-Judge, avoiding systematic underestimation averaging 10.1 percentage points caused by keyword matching. ARCagent achieves 95.3%, outperforming all base LLMs. Code is available at https://github.com/Yukyin/ARCagent.

From Retrieval to Reasoning: Agentic Mechanism Prediction from Cell Painting Profiles
从检索到推理：基于细胞绘图特征的机制预测
Abstract
Cell Painting is a high-content morphological profiling assay widely used for phenotype-based biological inference, with mechanism of action (MOA) prediction as a central application. Existing approaches largely formulate Cell Painting-based inference as representation matching, assigning predictions from nearby reference perturbations in morphological feature space. However, retrieved neighbors are often noisy and partially misleading evidence due to batch effects, non-specific cytotoxicity, phenotypic convergence, and source-dependent variability. We reformulate Cell Painting-based MOA prediction as a calibrated evidence reasoning problem, where retrieved neighbors are treated as uncertain observations that must be evaluated, compared, and sometimes rejected before supporting a mechanistic conclusion. We propose PhenoAIR, a reliability-aware multi-agent framework that maintains a candidate-centric evidence memory and performs controller-guided refinement over phenotype- and mechanism-side evidence. PhenoAIR uses offline reference-set calibration to weight evidence by source reliability, phenotype stability, and mechanism-level confusion. We evaluate PhenoAIR on a benchmark constructed from JUMP Cell Painting profiles and annotations, covering controlled, realistic, and discovery-oriented open-world MOA prediction settings. PhenoAIR outperforms representation-matching and LLM-based baselines across all settings.

细胞绘图是一种高内容形态特征分析方法，广泛用于基于表型的生物推断，其中机制作用（MOA）预测是其核心应用。现有方法主要将基于细胞绘图的推断形式化为表示匹配，通过在形态特征空间中从附近的参考扰动中分配预测。然而，由于批次效应、非特异性细胞毒性、表型收敛和源依赖性变异，检索到的邻近样本往往是嘈杂的，并且可能误导证据。我们将基于细胞绘图的MOA预测重新表述为一个经过校准的证据推理问题，在该问题中，检索到的邻近样本被视为不确定的观察结果，必须在支持机制结论之前进行评估、比较，有时甚至被拒绝。我们提出了PhenoAIR，一个可靠性意识的多代理框架，该框架维护一个以候选为中心的证据记忆，并在表型和机制侧证据上执行控制器引导的细化。PhenoAIR通过离线参考集校准，根据源可靠性、表型稳定性和机制级混淆来加权证据。我们在一个基于JUMP细胞绘图特征和注释构建的基准上评估PhenoAIR，涵盖了受控、现实和以发现为导向的开放世界MOA预测设置。PhenoAIR在所有设置中均优于基于表示匹配和大型语言模型（LLM）的基线。

Support-Set Target Leakage in Relational Foundation Models during In-Context Learning: Model Dependence and Evaluation Reliability
关系基础模型在上下文学习中的支持集目标泄漏：模型依赖性与评估可靠性
Abstract
Relational in-context learning (ICL) uses labeled support examples and their linked relational context to predict labels for new queries. This creates a failure mode when target-derived features are present in the support context but unavailable for the query. We study this setting as support-set target leakage. We construct 20 controlled target-derived features that vary in signal fidelity, representation, semantic transparency, coverage, and zero-, one-, and two-hop relational placement, and evaluate them across 13 RelBench tasks and five relational ICL configurations that vary the ICL head, message-passing depth, pretraining cohort, or relational encoder architecture. We evaluate matched 0-hop, 1-hop, and 2-hop leakage settings, together with a Full leakage condition containing all 20 leaker columns. Within the tested configurations, target-table (0-hop) and Full leakage produce the largest aggregate deviations from clean evaluation, while higher-hop effects are often weaker, consistent with differences in effective exposure associated with temporal reachability, sampling, and aggregation fidelity. Leakage effects are strongly task- and model-dependent and can reverse relative conclusions between model variants even when aggregate changes are small. For leaker detection, we compare an Integrated Gradients (IG)-based screening method with mutual information (MI) and leave-one-column-out (LOCO) on a common Baseline subset. Ranking quality is strongest in the high-impact 0-hop and Full leakage conditions, but detector-based removal does not consistently restore the clean evaluation. A four-task rel-salt case study further shows the same evaluation concern with native-schema leakage candidates from the original relational schema. These results identify the support/query information boundary as an important component of reliable relational ICL evaluation.

The Safety Operator: Modulating the Expression of Safety Instructions via Spectral Optimization
安全操作符：通过光谱优化调节安全指令的表达
Abstract
Context tokens in a transformer-based language model can be absorbed into the model's weights as a multiplicative operator. We study this operator in the setting of safety instructions and show that influencing its dominant eigenvalue modulates how strongly the instruction shapes generation. We derive a Contrastive Safety Loss with a suppression weight that controls the tradeoff between emphasizing the safety instruction on harmful queries while suppressing it on harmless queries. Varying the suppression weight maps a relationship between the attack success and the over-refusal rates, supporting the hypothesis that the operator's eigenvalue acts as a continuous dial for the instruction's influence. Moreover, this relationship holds relatively independently of how the Safety Loss is parameterized, yielding Pareto-improved safety instructions for appropriate values of suppression weight.

Bits Under ZK-LLM: Evaluating Zero-Knowledge-Friendly Quantization for Verifiable Private LLM Inference
ZK-LLM下的比特：评估适用于可验证私有LLM推理的零知识友好量化
Abstract
Zero-knowledge proofs are emerging as a promising approach for enabling private, verifiable LLM governance and auditing, where regulators, users, and auditors need to verify claims about training-data usage or LLM inference-time behavior, while model providers must protect proprietary model parameters. However, despite the growing interest in ZK-LLMs, the understanding of ZK-friendly quantization remains limited. This gap matters because in the ZK setting, quantization directly shapes the arithmetic structure, constraint complexity, and proving cost of ZK inference. ZK protocols operate over finite fields and incur costs that depend heavily on the number and type of arithmetic operations, nonlinearities, and lookup constraints. Understanding ZK-friendly quantization is therefore essential for making ZK-LLMs practical. In this work, we present the first systematic study of ZK-friendly quantization for LLMs. We first formalize the definition of ZK-friendly quantization, capturing the properties required for ZK proof generation. We then evaluate nine language models, including Qwen2.5-14B and the mixture-of-experts model Qwen3-30B-A3B, across a broad design space of weight, activation, and nonlinear lookup table precision. Our results show that activation precision is substantially more sensitive than weight precision, while nonlinear lookup approximations can become the dominant source of utility degradation. Also, we identify RMSNorm inverse-square-root lookups as a recurring bottleneck in several large models and recover near-baseline utility by selectively increasing precision only at the bottleneck. Finally, we show that reducing bit-width or lookup-table size does not necessarily yield proportional end-to-end proving savings, showing that conventional low-bit quantization heuristics do not directly translate to ZK proving efficiency and motivating operator-aware precision selection.

零知识证明作为一种有前景的方法，正在为实现私有的、可验证的LLM治理和审计提供支持。在这一过程中，监管者、用户和审计员需要验证关于训练数据使用或LLM推理时行为的声明，而模型提供者必须保护其专有模型参数。然而，尽管对ZK-LLM的兴趣日益增长，对ZK友好量化的理解仍然有限。这一差距至关重要，因为在ZK环境中，量化直接影响算术结构、约束复杂性和ZK推理的证明成本。ZK协议在有限域上运行，其成本在很大程度上依赖于算术操作的数量和类型、非线性操作以及查找约束。因此，理解ZK友好量化对于使ZK-LLM变得实用至关重要。在本研究中，我们首次系统性地研究了适用于LLM的ZK友好量化。我们首先形式化了ZK友好量化的定义，捕捉了生成ZK证明所需的属性。然后，我们在权重、激活和非线性查找表精度的广泛设计空间中评估了九种语言模型，包括Qwen2.5-14B和混合专家模型Qwen3-30B-A3B。我们的结果表明，激活精度对比重精度更为敏感，而非线性查找近似可能成为效用下降的主要来源。此外，我们识别出RMSNorm逆平方根查找在多个大型模型中是一个反复出现的瓶颈，并通过仅在瓶颈处选择性地提高精度恢复了接近基线的效用。最后，我们展示了减少比特宽度或查找表大小并不一定会带来成比例的端到端证明节省，表明传统的低比特量化启发式方法并不能直接转化为ZK证明效率，并激励操作员意识到精度选择的重要性。

Rethinking Reasoning Paths as Phase-Structured Trajectories
重新思考推理路径作为相位结构轨迹
Abstract
Large language models often improve problem-solving performance by generating multi-step reasoning paths, yet how to analyze the hidden states along these paths remains unclear. Existing approaches typically assign each intermediate state the final-answer correctness label and train probes across heterogeneous questions. We argue that this protocol obscures reasoning dynamics in two ways: (1) correctness prediction can exploit question-level variation rather than path quality, and (2) states aligned by absolute step indices may correspond to different functional phases of reasoning. In this work, we propose to view reasoning paths as phase-structured trajectories within fixed questions. We instantiate this view as PAIR, short for Phase-Aligned Intra-question Reasoning. PAIR samples multiple trajectories for each question, maps variable-length paths into shared relative phases based on normalized trajectory progress, and compares successful and unsuccessful trajectories only within the same question and phase. This yields phase-specific path-quality directions that better isolate path-quality signals from question-level variation. Empirically, we find that standard across-question correctness probes lose much of their predictive power under within-question evaluation, suggesting that these probes partly rely on question-level information. PAIR improves within-question trajectory ranking and Best-of-N trajectory selection across models and benchmarks. Phase-wise steering further shows that the learned directions can change generation outcomes, providing causal evidence that they capture trajectory-relevant information.

大型语言模型通常通过生成多步骤推理路径来提高问题解决性能，但如何分析这些路径上的隐藏状态仍然不清楚。现有的方法通常为每个中间状态分配最终答案的正确性标签，并在异质问题上训练探测器。我们认为这一协议在两个方面模糊了推理动态：(1) 正确性预测可能利用问题级别的变异而非路径质量，(2) 通过绝对步骤索引对齐的状态可能对应于推理的不同功能阶段。在本研究中，我们提出将推理路径视为固定问题内的相位结构轨迹。我们将这一观点具体化为 PAIR，即相位对齐的内部问题推理（Phase-Aligned Intra-question Reasoning）。PAIR 为每个问题采样多个轨迹，根据归一化轨迹进度将可变长度路径映射到共享的相对阶段，并仅在同一问题和阶段内比较成功和不成功的轨迹。这产生了特定于阶段的路径质量方向，更好地将路径质量信号与问题级别的变异隔离。实证研究表明，标准的跨问题正确性探测器在问题内评估时失去了大部分预测能力，这表明这些探测器在一定程度上依赖于问题级别的信息。PAIR 在模型和基准测试中改善了问题内轨迹排名和最佳 N 轨迹选择。相位导向的引导进一步表明，学习到的方向可以改变生成结果，提供了因果证据，表明它们捕捉了与轨迹相关的信息。

Going Beyond State-Reaching: Learning Abstractions for Intrinsically Motivated Option Discovery
超越状态到达：为内在驱动的选项发现学习抽象
Abstract
Temporal abstraction via options can improve exploration in large environments. However, existing option discovery algorithms find subgoals that target all aspects of the state simultaneously. This state-reaching approach produces options that only apply in narrow regions of the state-space, eventually causing an explosion in the number of options that overwhelms the agent, and impedes progress on its primary task of reward maximization. We introduce an algorithm that instead identifies a small, relevant subset of features for each subgoal, yielding options that generalize broadly and accelerate exploration. Our approach learns abstract, transferrable options and achieves rapid exploration in three sparse-reward, image-based domains, including the Atari game MontezumasRevenge.

Learning to Harvest Without Collapse in a Regenerative Commons: A Lagrangian Framework
在再生公地中学习无崩溃的收获：拉格朗日框架
Abstract
The tragedy of the commons poses a multi-agent safety problem: reward-seeking agents can deplete a shared resource, and cooperation among its users does not itself specify how much must be preserved. We make preservation an explicit requirement by formulating a regenerative commons as a constrained Markov game or a constrained multi-agent MDP with a designer-specified depletion budget. We develop a nonstationary Lagrangian framework that constructs a policy sequence from solutions of unconstrained games or cooperative control problems. Extending earlier time-average constructions, we introduce average-epoch solution concepts for reset episodes with discounted rewards and terminal costs. We prove a reward-independent feasibility certificate, cooperative feasibility and approximate optimality against feasible policy mixtures, and an extension to unbiased sampled costs. For self-interested agents, a constrained Nash certificate quantifies the price-dispersion term introduced by deviations that redistribute budget across epochs. Under the stated assumptions on solver accuracy and multiplier updates, these results give constrained policy-sequence guarantees using solutions of unconstrained problems. Experiments with constrained IPPO and MAPPO in a Gordon-Schaefer fishery examine how depletion budgets shape stock retention, harvest rewards, and price adaptation.

Human-AI Collaboration: From Paradoxes to Patterns
人机协作：从悖论到模式
Abstract
Evidence shows that humans and AI systems perform better together, by collaborating, than alone. This paper examines two key design dimensions of human-AI collaboration (autonomy and initiative) and explores the collaboration patterns that they generate. Documenting these patterns starts with identifying the underlying problems and solutions, followed by examining the internal tensions within the problems. The paper uses a paradox perspective to analyze those tensions. It describes a process for surfacing the tensions and mapping the underlying paradoxes. It also illustrates how the pattern descriptions can be derived from mapping these paradoxes. Finally, the paper documents four human-AI collaboration patterns: Instruction, Delegation, Assistance, and Co-creation.

AVIO: Learning to Add and Remove Sounding Objects in Audiovisual Scenes
AVIO：学习在视听场景中添加和移除声音对象
Abstract
Adding or removing a sounding object requires coordinated changes to visual content and sound while preserving the surrounding scene. Yet paired supervision for localized non-speech audiovisual editing remains limited, as visual and acoustic edits must target the same object and isolate its sound from overlapping sources. To address this gap, we introduce \textit{AVIOBench}, a dataset comprising 37.9 hours of paired audiovisual examples spanning 1{,}878 target-object names. AVIOBench links the visual presence and acoustic contribution of each target object through a shared identity and visual mask. Our automated pipeline uses visual grounding and cross-modal consistency to select target-sound removal candidates, then jointly refines the audiovisual pairs to improve perceptual quality and cross-modal consistency. Building on this dataset, we propose \textit{AVIO}, which adapts a pretrained text-to audiovisual generation model through source-conditioned feature modulation to jointly learn object addition and removal. A reference-frame curriculum gradually reduces reference conditioning during training, enabling one model to perform instruction-only editing with optional visual guidance. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations demonstrate effective audiovisual object removal and addition, with optional reference guidance providing appearance and placement control for addition.

BRIDGE: Bilevel Retrieval-Credit-Aware Agentic Reinforcement Learning
BRIDGE：双层检索-信用感知自主强化学习
Abstract
Agentic reinforcement learning (ARL) with verifiable rewards improves the ability of large language models (LLMs) to tackle knowledge-intensive tasks by learning to interleave search and reasoning. However, most existing ARL methods optimize only LLM-generated tokens and treat retrieved evidence as environment observations. This creates an information-credit gap: failures caused by missing or misleading evidence are attributed to the LLM policy rather than to the retriever, which motivates training the LLM and the retriever jointly. In this paper, we show that retrieval and LLM policy learning are order-sensitive: adapting the retriever before optimizing the policy yields a larger reward gain than the reverse order. To preserve this hierarchy while allowing both components to co-adapt, we formulate retrieval-augmented agentic RL as a bilevel optimization problem. To solve it efficiently, we introduce BRIDGE, a memory-efficient first-order bilevel method motivated by a loss-landscape analysis of the RL and retrieval objectives. Across seven open-domain QA benchmarks, BRIDGE achieves the highest average accuracy with both 3B and 7B backbones, improving the multi-hop average over the strongest baseline by 9.6 and 3.4 EM points, respectively. It also achieves the best averaged answer accuracy and reasoning quality across medical QA benchmarks.

自主强化学习（ARL）结合可验证的奖励，提高了大型语言模型（LLMs）处理知识密集型任务的能力，通过学习交替进行检索和推理。然而，现有的大多数ARL方法仅优化LLM生成的标记，并将检索到的证据视为环境观察。这造成了信息信用差距：由于缺失或误导性证据导致的失败被归因于LLM策略，而非检索器，这促使我们共同训练LLM和检索器。在本文中，我们展示了检索和LLM策略学习是顺序敏感的：在优化策略之前调整检索器会带来比反向顺序更大的奖励增益。为了在允许两个组件共同适应的同时保持这种层次结构，我们将增强检索的自主强化学习形式化为一个双层优化问题。为了高效地解决该问题，我们引入了BRIDGE，一种基于RL和检索目标的损失景观分析而设计的内存高效的一阶双层方法。在七个开放域问答基准测试中，BRIDGE在3B和7B模型上均实现了最高的平均准确率，分别比最强基线提高了9.6和3.4个EM点。同时，它在医学问答基准测试中也实现了最佳的平均答案准确率和推理质量。

MAADBench: The Refreshable Paradigm for Anomaly Detection in Multi-Agent Systems
MAADBench：多智能体系统异常检测的可刷新范式
Abstract
Recent studies report that LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) fail at rates of 41%-87%, yet to our knowledge, no benchmark to date supports systematic anomaly detection (AD) for them. Building MAS AD benchmarks is hard because they must remain fresh as LLM systems evolve: tasks may leak into training data and thus be memorized by LLMs, traces and anomaly patterns expire as backbones evolve, and labels must be provided reliably for each refresh. To address these challenges, we present MAADBench (MA: multi-agent; AD: anomaly detection), the first refreshable MAS AD benchmark designed for diverse, evolving LLM backbones underlying the agents. MAADBench combines (1) sampled-and-coupled generative tasks over an approximately 10^37-task space to mitigate task leakage, (2) refreshable trace generation under configurable LLM backbones, and (3) automated provision of cost-free, deterministic step-level labels for fine-grained AD evaluation. Beyond offering the paradigm itself, we run MAADBench with five state-of-the-art LLM backbones and release the MAADBench-Full dataset with 5,200 step-labeled traces. Benchmarking 25 AD methods on the MAADBench dataset reveals substantial limitations in current approaches: they rely heavily on supervision, struggle with subtle MAS-specific anomalies, and lack robustness across LLM backbones. These gaps point to a rich research agenda for MAS-specific anomaly detection, with MAADBench providing a systematic and refreshable testbed for method development and evaluation. We open-source MAADBench-Full at https://huggingface.co/datasets/hww123/MAADBench-full.

Visual sensitivity is not claim retractability: persistence-aware credit assignment for multimodal reinforcement learning
视觉敏感性与声明可撤回性并不相同：面向持久性的多模态强化学习信用分配
Abstract
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has been extended to Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), and perception-aware methods further encourage policies to rely on visual evidence. Yet relying on the image does not guarantee that visual claims are supported by it. Before RL training, 27.81% of the correctly answered responses of Qwen2.5-VL-7B on four multimodal reasoning benchmarks contain at least one direct visual claim that the image does not support. Since outcome-level RL rewards each response as a whole, these claims inherit the positive credit of the correct answer. We introduce a fixed-rollout counterfactual diagnostic that re-scores the same response under an intervened image to separate Evidence-Function Sensitivity (EFS), how strongly the model's predictions change, from claim persistence, whether the model keeps supporting the same claim rather than retracting it. The diagnostic reveals Sensitivity-Persistence Decoupling (SPD): under DAPO and VPPO, EFS increases and claims become more retractable overall, yet unsupported claims become significantly more persistent, whereas GRPO raises EFS without this deterioration. We therefore propose Persistence-Aware Credit Gating (PACG), which attenuates positive credit for unusually persistent visual claims and leaves all other credit unchanged. It requires no supported/unsupported labels and adds no inference cost. On Qwen2.5-VL-7B, PACG raises the nine-benchmark average over three seeds from 58.1% to 59.9% with DAPO and from 59.8% to 60.9% with VPPO, while making unsupported claims more retractable. The gains extend to a larger model, a newer backbone, and the accuracy of HallusionBench also improves consistently. These results suggest that visual sensitivity and claim retractability are complementary dimensions of multimodal credit assignment.

可验证奖励的强化学习（RLVR）已扩展至大型视觉语言模型（LVLMs），而感知感知方法进一步鼓励策略依赖于视觉证据。然而，依赖图像并不保证视觉声明得到了支持。在RL训练之前，Qwen2.5-VL-7B在四个多模态推理基准上的正确回答中，有27.81%的响应包含至少一个图像不支持的直接视觉声明。由于结果级RL对每个响应作为一个整体进行奖励，这些声明继承了正确答案的正向信用。我们引入了一种固定回滚的反事实诊断方法，该方法在干预图像下重新评分相同的响应，以区分证据功能敏感性（EFS），即模型预测变化的强度，与声明持久性，即模型是否继续支持相同声明而不是撤回它。该诊断揭示了敏感性-持久性解耦（SPD）：在DAPO和VPPO下，EFS增加，声明整体上变得更可撤回，但不支持的声明变得显著更持久，而GRPO在不出现这种恶化的情况下提高了EFS。因此，我们提出了持久性感知信用门控（PACG），该方法减弱了对异常持久视觉声明的正向信用，同时保持所有其他信用不变。它不需要支持/不支持标签，并且没有增加推理成本。在Qwen2.5-VL-7B上，PACG使得九个基准的平均值在三个种子下从58.1%提高到59.9%（使用DAPO），从59.8%提高到60.9%（使用VPPO），同时使不支持的声明更可撤回。这些增益扩展到更大的模型和更新的主干，HallusionBench的准确性也持续改善。这些结果表明，视觉敏感性和声明可撤回性是多模态信用分配的互补维度。

Divide and Inject: Can Agents Reconstruct an Indirect Prompt Injection from Fragments?
分割与注入：代理能否从片段重构间接提示注入？
Abstract
Agentic systems are now being widely used to orchestrate tools and reason over long contexts. However, the improving capabilities of the large language models powering these agents also create new attack surfaces for indirect prompt injection. In particular, an attacker may not need to place a complete malicious instruction in retrieved content if the agent can reconstruct the objective from incomplete fragments distributed across a long context. In this work, we introduce adaptive long-context prompt injection (AdaLCPI), which combines long-context fragmentation with adaptive search. AdaLCPI splits an attack objective into incomplete fragments, embeds them in external content retrieved through the agent's tools, and uses a reconstruction cue to prompt the agent to combine them. It then iteratively refines the fragments and cue with OpenEvolve using graded scoring and natural-language execution feedback from the target agent. Empirically, AdaLCPI achieves higher attack success than strong adaptive baselines, reaching 61.4\% macro-average ASR compared with 32.8\% for Trojan Hippo-style and 30.0\% for AgentVigil. Safety evaluations should therefore test whether agents remain robust when harmful objectives must be reconstructed from incomplete fragments.

代理系统现在被广泛用于协调工具和在长上下文中进行推理。然而，驱动这些代理的大型语言模型能力的提升也为间接提示注入创造了新的攻击面。特别是，如果代理能够从分散在长上下文中的不完整片段重构目标，攻击者可能不需要在检索到的内容中放置完整的恶意指令。在本研究中，我们提出了自适应长上下文提示注入（Adaptive Long-Context Prompt Injection, AdaLCPI），该方法结合了长上下文分割和自适应搜索。AdaLCPI将攻击目标分割成不完整的片段，将其嵌入通过代理工具检索到的外部内容中，并使用重构提示来促使代理将它们组合。然后，它通过使用分级评分和来自目标代理的自然语言执行反馈，利用OpenEvolve迭代地优化片段和提示。因此，AdaLCPI的攻击成功率高于强自适应基线，宏平均攻击成功率（ASR）达到61.4\%，而Trojan Hippo风格为32.8\%，AgentVigil为30.0\%。因此，安全评估应测试当有害目标必须从不完整片段重构时，代理是否仍然保持稳健。

SafeCoEvo: Co-Evolving Safety Harnesses and Guards for LLM Agents at Test-Time
SafeCoEvo：在测试时共同进化的安全带和保护装置用于大语言模型代理
Abstract
LLM agents deployed in real-world environments continually encounter new tasks and safety risks, while execution feedback typically becomes available only after each task is completed. However, existing self-evolving approaches commonly rely on multiple rounds of optimization over fixed and repeatedly accessible task distributions, fundamentally differing from test-time adaptation in real-world deployment, where only experience accumulated from past tasks can be used to improve safety decisions on future unseen tasks. To address this limitation, we propose SafeCoEvo, a test-time Harness-Guard co-evolution framework for LLM agent safety that enables the external safety system to continually adapt from accumulated runtime experience. SafeCoEvo jointly improves two complementary safety capabilities at different timescales: S-Harness rapidly externalizes recent runtime experience into updatable explicit safety knowledge that can promptly influence subsequent tasks, while GuardVPO internalizes accumulated runtime safety experience over a longer timescale into parametric risk-judgment capabilities. By combining short-term rapid adaptation with long-term capability consolidation, SafeCoEvo continually improves the agent's safety capabilities, reducing the unsafe outcome rate by 10.05% while improving the task success rate by 12.15% over the strongest baseline, thereby achieving simultaneous gains in safety and task utility.

在现实环境中部署的大语言模型（LLM）代理不断遇到新的任务和安全风险，而执行反馈通常仅在每个任务完成后才可获得。然而，现有的自我进化方法通常依赖于对固定且可重复访问的任务分布进行多轮优化，这与现实部署中的测试时适应存在根本差异，在这种情况下，仅能利用过去任务积累的经验来改善未来未见任务的安全决策。为了解决这一限制，我们提出了SafeCoEvo，一种用于LLM代理安全的测试时安全带-保护装置共同进化框架，该框架使外部安全系统能够持续从积累的运行时经验中适应。SafeCoEvo在不同时间尺度上共同提升两种互补的安全能力：S-Harness迅速将近期运行时经验外化为可更新的显式安全知识，从而能够迅速影响后续任务，而GuardVPO则在更长时间尺度上将积累的运行时安全经验内化为参数化的风险判断能力。通过将短期快速适应与长期能力巩固相结合，SafeCoEvo持续提升代理的安全能力，使不安全结果率降低了10.05%，同时任务成功率提高了12.15%，从而在安全性和任务效用上实现了双重收益。

MemEvo: Automatic Discovery of Streaming Video Memory Mechanisms
MemEvo：流媒体视频记忆机制的自动发现
Abstract
Query-agnostic streaming video understanding requires vision-language models to continuously compress an indefinitely growing visual stream into a bounded memory before future queries are known. The performance depends critically on the memory mechanism--what observations to preserve, how to represent and consolidate them, and what information to retrieve when a query eventually arrives. Rather than designing a single memory architecture by hand, we formulate memory design as a search problem over executable memory programs. We introduce a lightweight domain-specific language that expresses memory mechanisms through structured primitives for representation, admission, retention, consolidation, budgeting, and retrieval, while enforcing causal and bounded-memory constraints. Although structured, the derived program space remains large and contains heterogeneous, conditionally dependent design choices whose effects can only be assessed via downstream execution. We therefore propose MemEvo, an LLM-driven auto-research framework that uses pretrained LLM as a semantics-aware proposal model to iteratively generate and refine candidate memory programs based on accumulated experimental feedback. At runtime, a deterministic evaluation pipeline validates and evaluates each candidate, while the underlying vision-language model remains frozen throughout discovery. We finally produce a training-free, bounded-memory mechanism. Extensive experiments on StreamingBench and OVO-Bench demonstrate strong streaming video understanding performance together with substantial context and inference efficiency.

无查询依赖的流媒体视频理解要求视觉-语言模型在未来查询未知之前，持续将无限增长的视觉流压缩到有限的记忆中。其性能在很大程度上依赖于记忆机制——保留哪些观察、如何表示和整合这些观察，以及在查询最终到来时检索哪些信息。我们并不手动设计单一的记忆架构，而是将记忆设计形式化为可执行记忆程序上的搜索问题。我们引入了一种轻量级的领域特定语言，通过结构化原语表达记忆机制，包括表示、接纳、保留、整合、预算和检索，同时强制执行因果和有限记忆约束。尽管是结构化的，所衍生的程序空间仍然很大，包含异质的、条件依赖的设计选择，其效果只能通过下游执行进行评估。因此，我们提出了MemEvo，一个基于大型语言模型（LLM）的自动研究框架，利用预训练的LLM作为语义感知的提案模型，基于累积的实验反馈迭代生成和优化候选记忆程序。在运行时，一个确定性的评估管道验证和评估每个候选，而基础的视觉-语言模型在整个发现过程中保持不变。最终，我们生成了一种无训练的有限记忆机制。在StreamingBench和OVO-Bench上的大量实验表明，流媒体视频理解性能强劲，同时具有显著的上下文和推理效率。

Transformers Stop Thinking Too Early, and a Tiny LoRA Fixes It
变压器模型停止过早思考，而一个微小的 LoRA 修复了这个问题
Abstract
Pretrained transformers use little of their depth to follow references in context. Thirteen base models reliably follow only 1.4-3.6 lines, and extra pretrained loops add little. A task-trained rank-8 LoRA at one early layer extends this computation with all model weights frozen. Qwen3-8B improves from 15.5% to 99% exact accuracy on 24-line chains; a longer-trained LoRA reaches 50 lines. Ouro-1.4B reaches 60 lines after four loops and at least 160 after eight. The LoRA starts a relay: program lines pass on their chain identity through a short range of middle layers. Frozen heads read progressively further up the chain, and removing parent-line attention stops the relay. A frozen-model measurement locates the last useful intervention layer within tolerance in three of four held-out models. Task-specific LoRAs also improve MuSiQue. Default answers therefore understate the computation accessible through a tiny edit. Code and an interactive demo are available at https://lunamos.github.io/stop-thinking-too-early/

SAKI: Maximal-Coupling-Routed Teacher Supervision for On-Policy Distillation
SAKI：基于最大耦合路由的教师监督用于在线蒸馏
Abstract
On-policy distillation (OPD) reduces train-test state mismatch by training a student on its own generated trajectories, but weak students may visit teacher-misaligned prefixes where supervision is less representative. We introduce SAKI (Supervision Allocation with KL-constrained Interpolation), which combines a KL-constrained teacher-guided rollout with maximal coupling and reuses realized accept/correction events to route token-level supervision. Accepted positions retain sampled-token reverse-KL supervision, while correction positions receive direct supervision on the teacher's highest-probability token. Under maximal coupling, the correction probability is exactly TV(p_t, q_t), so the same trust-region radius controls rollout deviation and upper-bounds intervention and specialized-supervision frequency. We further implement an engine-resident speculative verifier that preserves the exact-q trajectory distribution and coupling semantics while improving matched-workload rollout throughput by 4.22x. Across seven mathematical reasoning benchmarks, SAKI improves the matched teacher-guided baseline in Mean@8 and Pass@8 for both 1.7B and 0.6B students. Placement controls and fixed-prefix analysis further support correction-triggered routing as a conflict-adaptive supervision signal.

Multi-Channel Mitigation of Source-Trust Shortcuts in Fact-Checking RL Agents
多通道缓解事实核查强化学习代理中的源信任捷径
Abstract
Retrieval-augmented fact-checkers often receive a reliability label, such as HIGH or LOW trust, for each evidence source. These labels should adjust the model's confidence and its decision to search for more evidence, while the verdict should follow the evidence content. We introduce TrustSwap, a counterfactual test that swaps, lowers, or removes source labels while keeping every evidence text fixed, and measures its three output channels (the verdict, the confidence, and the search decision) separately. Across untrained and RL-trained models at two scales, three datasets, and two prompts, confidence and search respond to the labels as intended in 49 of 50 comparisons, yet a label change alone alters 4-23% of confident verdicts for Qwen3 models and up to 50% for an existing RL-trained fact-checker. Standard GRPO fine-tuning amplifies this shortcut at 8B in all six settings. To reduce it, we propose trust-swap augmentation (TSA), which trains GRPO on each claim with both its original and its label-swapped evidence under the same gold verdict. At 4B, TSA lowers the verdict flip rate by 7-35% (relative) in four of six settings, keeps accuracy and the intended confidence and search responses, outperforms reward-based alternatives in the main setting, and carries over to an unseen label-removal perturbation. An added consistency reward helps on the trained-on swap but not on unseen perturbations. At 8B, TSA's effect is not detectable, which makes scale the main open question.

检索增强的事实核查器通常会为每个证据来源分配一个可靠性标签，例如高信任（HIGH）或低信任（LOW）。这些标签应调整模型的信心以及其搜索更多证据的决策，而裁决应遵循证据内容。我们引入了TrustSwap，这是一种反事实测试，它在保持每个证据文本不变的情况下，交换、降低或移除源标签，并分别测量其三个输出通道（裁决、信心和搜索决策）。在两个规模、三个数据集和两个提示下，对未训练和经过强化学习训练的模型进行比较，信心和搜索在50次比较中有49次如预期响应标签，然而，仅仅改变标签就会导致Qwen3模型的4-23%的自信裁决发生变化，而现有的经过强化学习训练的事实核查器则高达50%。标准的GRPO微调在所有六种设置中都在8B上放大了这一捷径。为了减少这一现象，我们提出了信任交换增强（TSA），它在相同的金标准裁决下，使用原始证据及其标签交换的证据对每个声明进行GRPO训练。在4B下，TSA在六种设置中的四种中将裁决翻转率降低了7-35%（相对），保持了准确性以及预期的信心和搜索响应，在主要设置中优于基于奖励的替代方案，并且在未见的标签移除扰动中也表现出良好的效果。增加的一致性奖励对训练时的交换有帮助，但对未见扰动则没有效果。在8B下，TSA的效果不可检测，这使得规模成为主要的开放问题。

Neural Structural Reasoner: A Brain-inspired Architecture for Reasoning over Structured Knowledge
神经结构推理器：一种基于大脑启发的结构化知识推理架构
Abstract
Structural reasoning, the ability to recognize and make inferences over the relational structure between objects and concepts, is a hallmark of human cognition, yet prevailing methods often collapse relational topology into flat embeddings, cannot discover hidden structure and lack interpretability. We introduce Neural Structural Reasoner (NSR), a brain-inspired network that preserves relational structure directly in the connectivity and dynamics of coupled neuronal populations. NSR draws inspiration from three biological mechanisms: multi-layered architecture for encoding hierarchical knowledge, stable representations of entity and concepts, and path integration for input-driven state inference. At query time, NSR parallelizes computation over candidate relational structures and leverages confidence-weighted scores to perform link prediction. Across standard knowledge-graph benchmarks, NSR achieves competitive accuracy without leading on every dataset, and has lower reported training times than several neural baselines. Because reasoning is implemented through sequences of human-readable neuron activations, NSR affords native interpretability by tracking intermediate inference steps. The model further extracts latent relational hierarchies and compositional rules, demonstrating the brain-inspired architecture as an effective, efficient, and highly interpretable substrate for structural reasoning.

DualTrack: Synchronized speech-gesture generation via symmetric coupling of pretrained priors
双轨：通过预训练先验的对称耦合实现同步的语音-手势生成
Abstract
Joint speech-gesture synthesis must coordinate two modalities despite limited paired data. Existing approaches often lack bidirectional interaction, have limited language coverage, or simplify body and finger representations. We present DualTrack, which couples pretrained speech and motion priors on a shared 12.5 Hz timeline. Causal adapters exchange previous-packet information, while current-state fusion coordinates the streams before they separately complete sixteen-codebook packets. We evaluate 43 BEAT2 recordings in four languages, with speakers held out from joint training and validation. On the shared English/Spanish inputs, without speech or motion prefixes, DualTrack achieves lower word error rate and full-motion Fr\'echet Gesture Distance, higher beat consistency and speech naturalness than the evaluated GELINA baseline.

Semantic Projection for Continual Self-Evolution of Language Agents
语言代理的持续自我演化的语义投影
Abstract
Language-model agents increasingly rely on persistent natural-language skills to adapt beyond their frozen model parameters. When a shared skill is repeatedly revised from a non-stationary, heterogeneous task stream, however, improvements for new tasks can overwrite procedures needed for earlier ones. In continual learning, Orthogonal Gradient Descent (OGD) addresses analogous interference by projecting a new-task gradient onto a subspace that locally preserves prior predictions. Natural-language skill revisions, however, have neither gradients nor a canonical vector space in which such a projection can be performed. We introduce \emph{Semantic-Scope Projected Evolution} (SSPE), which transfers the functional principle of gradient projection from parameter space to behavior space. SSPE treats an unconstrained skill revision as a proposed update, identifies acquired capabilities with which it may interfere, and uses the observed gains and regressions to construct a compatible revision rather than merely rejecting the update. This enables one shared skill to evolve across latent and recurring task contexts without exposing semantic domain identities to the evolution model. Across controlled synthetic streams and heterogeneous real-agent benchmarks, SSPE improves final cross-domain competence and mitigates forgetting relative to strong skill-evolution baselines. The evolved skill also retains the strongest average performance after transfer to a different executor model. These results establish semantic projection as a promising principle for stable and adaptive self evolution of language agents.

Distilling Agentic Systems: A Roadmap across Models, Artifacts, and Harnesses
提炼自主系统：模型、工件和执行工具的路线图
Abstract
Modern agents increasingly rely on memories, tools, and execution logic, so their competence extends beyond model parameters. This shift exposes a limitation of conventional knowledge distillation, which asks how a student model imitates a teacher model. We define Agent Distillation as the persistent transfer of task-solving knowledge from a teacher agent to a student agent. Our study organizes the field by where transferred knowledge is retained: within the model, as artifacts, through the execution harness, or across substrates. This perspective separates transfer evidence from its outcome and clarifies how knowledge moves between agent components. We develop an evaluation framework that relates retention to causal contribution and deployed utility. Together, these contributions establish a foundation for the reliable, maintainable, and safe development of increasingly complex agentic systems.

RankBuffer: Efficient Ranking-Based Rewards for Open-Ended Generation
RankBuffer：用于开放式生成的高效基于排名的奖励
Abstract
Open-ended generation lacks canonical answers, making pointwise rewards difficult to calibrate for group-based reinforcement learning. Directly ranking same-query rollouts provides a more suitable relative reward signal, but existing ranking-based reward methods can incur substantial judging cost. We introduce RankBuffer, which maintains an ordered, query-specific buffer of previously judged responses as a reusable quality scale. Each rollout is first inserted into an anchor interval through an independent coarse judgment, after which only rollouts assigned to the same interval undergo local fine ranking. The resulting complete order is converted into bounded rank rewards, while boundary expansion, local refinement, and inactive-anchor pruning adapt the buffer as the policy evolves. Across four open-ended benchmarks, RankBuffer consistently outperforms all pointwise baselines. It also achieves nearly on-par performance with the strongest ranking-based reward baseline while substantially reducing judging cost. Ablations demonstrate the importance of both local fine ranking and anchor response content, while buffer analyses show that rollout-derived anchors progressively extend and refine the covered quality scale. These results establish response reuse as an effective approach to efficient relative reward construction.

FineSID: Scalable and Efficient Semantic Identifier Learning for Generative Recommendation
FineSID：可扩展且高效的生成推荐语义标识符学习
Abstract
A critical prerequisite of generative recommendation is designing semantic identifiers (SIDs) that are both scalable to large item sets and efficiently learnable. Existing SID learning methods fundamentally rely on Top-1 hard assignment during vector quantization. While heuristic strategies -- such as clustering-based initialization or forced post-hoc collision resolution -- can artificially inflate codebook coverage, they often disrupt end-to-end semantic alignment and fail to address the underlying optimization bottleneck: sparse gradient propagation. In standard Top-1 assignment, gradients concentrate on a narrow subset of frequently selected codewords, leaving the majority inherently under-trained and causing severe SID collisions. To overcome this limitation natively without relying on complex initialization priors, we propose FineSID, a unified quantization framework that moves beyond Top-1 assignment by enabling fine-grained gradient propagation across the entire codebook. Instead of updating only a single selected codeword, FineSID distributes learning signals to all codewords in a soft, differentiable manner. This design promotes globally balanced codebook optimization while strictly preserving semantic consistency, effectively alleviating SID collisions and stabilizing training in large, high-dimensional codebooks. Extensive experiments on multiple public benchmarks demonstrate that FineSID is robust to initialization configurations and consistently improves both codebook utilization and recommendation accuracy. Our work provides a principled, initialization-agnostic solution for semantic identifier learning, advancing the practicality of generative recommendation.

生成推荐的一个关键前提是设计既可扩展到大规模项目集又易于学习的语义标识符（SIDs）。现有的SID学习方法基本上依赖于向量量化过程中的Top-1硬分配。虽然启发式策略——如基于聚类的初始化或强制事后碰撞解决——可以人为地增加码本覆盖率，但它们往往会破坏端到端的语义对齐，并未能解决潜在的优化瓶颈：稀疏梯度传播。在标准的Top-1分配中，梯度集中在一小部分频繁选择的码字上，导致大多数码字本质上未得到充分训练，并造成严重的SID碰撞。为了在不依赖复杂初始化先验的情况下本质上克服这一限制，我们提出了FineSID，一个统一的量化框架，它超越了Top-1分配，通过在整个码本中实现细粒度的梯度传播。FineSID并不是仅更新一个选定的码字，而是以软性、可微分的方式将学习信号分配给所有码字。这一设计促进了全局平衡的码本优化，同时严格保持语义一致性，有效减轻了SID碰撞并稳定了在大规模高维码本中的训练。在多个公共基准上的广泛实验表明，FineSID对初始化配置具有鲁棒性，并始终提高了码本利用率和推荐准确性。我们的工作为语义标识符学习提供了一种原则性、与初始化无关的解决方案，推动了生成推荐的实用性。

FairDiff: Mitigating the Self-Reinforcing Matthew Effect in Diffusion Recommender Models
FairDiff：缓解扩散推荐模型中的自我强化马太效应
Abstract
While the "Matthew Effect" and filter bubbles are widely recognized outcome-level biases in recommender systems, we reveal that Diffusion Recommender Models (DRMs) uniquely compound this issue through their generative dynamics. Rather than merely inheriting data imbalances, DRMs trigger a self-reinforcing amplification of popularity bias. We identify that this phenomenon is driven by two compounding mechanisms. First, while optimization loss is universally dominated by high-frequency items across recommenders, DRMs suffer from a unique structural prior mismatch during generation. Because the forward terminal distribution of long-tailed data deviates significantly from the standard Gaussian prior, reverse sampling trajectories inherently collapse toward high-density popular items, fundamentally suppressing niche item generation. To dismantle this self-reinforcing loop, we propose FairDiff, a plug-and-play fairness-aware diffusion framework. To overcome the popularity-dominated loss, we introduce Popularity Condition Guidance (PCG). Rather than altering the training objective, PCG acts as an inference-time distributional reweighting mechanism, mathematically reshaping the score-based gradient field to penalize high-popularity regions and guide trajectories toward niche semantics. Furthermore, we design a Semantic Calibration (SC) Module to bridge the prior mismatch, aligning the forward and reverse distributions via one-step optimal transport. Comprehensive evaluations demonstrate that FairDiff achieves state-of-the-art performance while effectively mitigating the self-reinforcing Matthew Effect, highlighting its value as a general framework for DRMs.

虽然“马太效应”和过滤气泡被广泛认为是推荐系统中的结果级偏差，但我们揭示扩散推荐模型（Diffusion Recommender Models, DRMs）通过其生成动态独特地加剧了这一问题。DRMs不仅仅是继承数据不平衡，而是触发了流行偏见的自我强化放大。我们识别出这一现象由两个复合机制驱动。首先，尽管优化损失在推荐系统中普遍被高频项目主导，但DRMs在生成过程中遭遇独特的结构先验不匹配。由于长尾数据的前向终端分布显著偏离标准高斯先验，反向采样轨迹本质上向高密度流行项目崩溃，从根本上抑制了小众项目的生成。为了拆解这一自我强化循环，我们提出了FairDiff，一个即插即用的公平性意识扩散框架。为了克服流行主导的损失，我们引入了流行条件引导（Popularity Condition Guidance, PCG）。PCG并不改变训练目标，而是作为推理时的分布重加权机制，从数学上重塑基于分数的梯度场，以惩罚高流行区域并引导轨迹朝向小众语义。此外，我们设计了一个语义校准（Semantic Calibration, SC）模块，以弥合先验不匹配，通过一步最优传输对齐前向和反向分布。全面评估表明，FairDiff在有效缓解自我强化马太效应的同时，达到了最先进的性能，突显其作为DRMs通用框架的价值。

MLToolBench: Learning Tool-Augmented Agents for Machine Learning Development
MLToolBench：用于机器学习开发的工具增强代理学习
Abstract
Machine learning engineering (MLE) agents have made substantial progress, but learning through ML experimentation remains costly in time and computation. Synthetic environments reduce these costs while introducing variations in data and experimental settings that require task-specific diagnosis. Access to diagnostic tools alone does not ensure that agents learn when to use them or how to act on their findings. We introduce ToolMLBench, a suite of executable tools for data inspection, code verification, and experiment diagnosis, together with an SFT and RL pipeline for learning their use. Diagnostic calls acquire evidence whose value depends on subsequent decisions, so final outcomes provide limited guidance on which calls to reinforce. We address this challenge with SPICE, which measures how privileged context changes the likelihood of a sampled tool action and uses this difference as a turn-level reward alongside the final outcome. We train on 80 synthetic tasks and evaluate on 25 in-domain and 10 out-of-domain tasks. Providing tool interfaces and descriptions alone yields inconsistent gains across unadapted models. With the same diagnostic interface, our training pipeline raises in-domain success from 24.8% to 52.4% for Qwen3-8B and from 35.6% to 69.2% for Qwen3.5-35B-A3B. The latter also improves from 31% to 48% out-of-domain, supporting learned diagnostic tool use on held-out sources and targets.

JudgeProfile: Understanding and Steering Subjectivity in LLM Judges
JudgeProfile：理解和引导大型语言模型评审的主观性
Abstract
LLM judges are inherently subjective, often favoring different responses in pairwise comparison when neither option is objectively wrong. To study this subjectivity, we introduce JudgeProfile, a framework that dissects LLM evaluation into perception (how a judge compares two responses across specific attributes like clarity, correctness, and detail) and prioritization (how much each attribute influences the final choice). We curate SubjectiveSet, a dataset of 50,013 response pairs from 17 public data sources, evaluated by 21 LLM judges across 87 attributes. We find a hidden consensus in perception: judges frequently agree on attribute judgments even when their overall choices diverge. Building on this separation, we first characterize each judge's prioritization using attribute weights estimated from its own overall choices. These weights differ across judges even when estimated from the same attribute judgments. We then learn new weights from reference labels to adapt their decisions to a target evaluation standard. Reweighting perceived attributes improves average held-out agreement with reference labels from 66.48% to 71.97%, outperforming fine-tuning and rubric prompting. Our findings show that understanding and steering the subjectivity of LLM judges requires attention not only to what they perceive, but also to how they prioritize it.

大型语言模型（LLM）评审本质上是主观的，在成对比较中，当没有选项是客观错误时，往往偏好不同的响应。为了研究这种主观性，我们引入了JudgeProfile，一个将LLM评估分解为感知（评审如何在清晰度、正确性和细节等特定属性上比较两个响应）和优先级（每个属性对最终选择的影响程度）的框架。我们整理了SubjectiveSet，一个包含来自17个公共数据源的50,013对响应的数据集，由21名LLM评审在87个属性上进行评估。我们发现感知中存在隐含共识：即使评审的整体选择不同，他们在属性判断上也经常达成一致。在此基础上，我们首先使用从自身整体选择中估计的属性权重来表征每个评审的优先级。这些权重在评审之间存在差异，即使是基于相同的属性判断进行估计。然后，我们从参考标签中学习新的权重，以使他们的决策适应目标评估标准。重新加权感知属性将与参考标签的平均持出一致性从66.48%提高到71.97%，超越了微调和评分提示。我们的研究结果表明，理解和引导LLM评审的主观性不仅需要关注他们的感知内容，还需关注他们的优先级设置。

Can AI Scientists Change Their Minds? Prior-Evidence Conflict in Synthetic Universes
人工智能科学家能改变他们的观点吗？合成宇宙中的先前证据冲突
Abstract
Can a scientific agent distinguish a law it inferred from evidence from one it merely recognizes? We introduce Synthetic Universes, a controlled benchmark that pairs canonical famous worlds with matched twisted twins governed by nearby noncanonical mechanisms. We evaluate each reported law twice: by executing it on held-out continuations and transfer settings, and by independently checking whether it recovers the generating mechanism. In the current checkpoint of a pre-specified 60-cell study, 22 trials were graded and one additional run ended in infrastructure failure. Among 20 twin trials, 8 pass predictive verification while 5 recover the generator. The dissociation is bidirectional: six parsable outputs predict successfully while missing the mechanism, whereas three recover the mechanism but fail predictive rollout. Drag exhibits the first pattern (5/5 predictive pass, 1/5 mechanism recovery); Gravity exhibits the second (1/5 predictive pass, 4/5 mechanism recovery). Because matched famous controls, the corrected identifiability sweep, and the Evidence Ladder remain incomplete, we do not claim a confirmatory causal prior-conflict effect. Instead, the completed runs establish a narrower verification result: predictive adequacy and mechanism recovery are distinct scientific claims and require distinct tests.

Can Agents Design Libraries for Agents?
代理能为代理设计库吗？
Abstract
Agents increasingly build on code written by other agents, and they reimplement rather than reuse, growing the codebases later agents must work in. To measure how well agents design libraries for other agents, we introduce LibraryDesignBench, a two-phase benchmark in which an agent implements a full-featured library from a specification that defines required capabilities and potential use cases without prescribing the design. We evaluate the library through the correctness and simplicity of programs written by three user agents from different model families. The benchmark spans 242 expert-validated programming problems across 15 library-design tasks in four languages. On eleven of the fifteen tasks, agent designers reproduce the abstractions of the human-written production library. Downstream agents adopt agent- and human-written libraries alike but underuse them, reimplementing capabilities the library already provides. Our failure analysis finds that downstream agents write extra code mainly because agent-written libraries are rigid or hard to use, not because capabilities are missing. We also experiment with giving designers more prescriptive, agent-first guidance and having them test their library with subagents; this improves downstream scores and yields simpler programs. LibraryDesignBench provides both a testbed for evaluating library-design practices for agent users and an initial design baseline that improves downstream reuse.

代理越来越多地依赖其他代理编写的代码，他们倾向于重新实现而非重用，从而增加了后续代理必须工作的代码库。为了衡量代理为其他代理设计库的能力，我们引入了LibraryDesignBench，这是一个两阶段的基准测试，其中一个代理根据定义所需功能和潜在用例的规范实现一个功能齐全的库，而不规定设计。我们通过来自不同模型家族的三个用户代理编写的程序的正确性和简洁性来评估该库。该基准测试涵盖了15个库设计任务中的242个经过专家验证的编程问题。在15个任务中的11个任务中，代理设计者成功再现了人类编写的生产库的抽象。下游代理同时采用代理和人类编写的库，但对其使用不足，重新实现库已经提供的功能。我们的失败分析发现，下游代理编写额外代码主要是因为代理编写的库过于僵化或难以使用，而不是因为缺少功能。我们还尝试为设计者提供更具指导性的、以代理为先的建议，并让他们用子代理测试他们的库；这提高了下游评分并产生了更简洁的程序。LibraryDesignBench不仅为评估代理用户的库设计实践提供了一个测试平台，还提供了一个初步的设计基准，以改善下游的重用。

BiFE: Search-Efficient Discovery of CPU-Only Branching Policies via LLM-based Bi-Fidelity Evolution
BiFE：基于LLM的双保真进化方法高效发现仅使用CPU的分支策略
Abstract
In branch-and-bound (B&B) for mixed-integer linear programming (MILP), branching variable selection critically impacts efficiency. Existing neural branching policies often require GPU inference, while CPU-efficient symbolic expressions lack the representational capacity for complex logic. Large Language Model (LLM)-generated code provides a flexible search space for designing lightweight branching rules with diverse algorithmic logic. To discover effective rules within LLM-based evolutionary frameworks, a core challenge arises: full B&B evaluation on real instances is prohibitively expensive, whereas offline imitation learning suffers from distribution shift. To address this, we introduce a Bi-Fidelity Evolutionary framework (BiFE). It employs low-fidelity imitation scores as a rapid pre-screener and selectively applies high-fidelity on-instance evaluation only to elite candidates, effectively balancing search efficiency with performance reliability. Experiments validate both the search efficiency of BiFE and the competitiveness of its discovered rules, which outperform the SCIP solver and other baselines on CPUs, and even surpass certain GPU-based neural policies.

在混合整数线性规划（MILP）的分支定界（B&B）中，分支变量选择对效率产生重要影响。现有的神经分支策略通常需要GPU推理，而CPU高效的符号表达式在处理复杂逻辑时缺乏表征能力。大型语言模型（LLM）生成的代码为设计轻量级分支规则提供了灵活的搜索空间，具备多样的算法逻辑。为了在基于LLM的进化框架中发现有效规则，面临的核心挑战是：在真实实例上进行全面的B&B评估代价高昂，而离线模仿学习则受到分布转移的影响。为了解决这一问题，我们提出了一种双保真进化框架（BiFE）。该框架利用低保真模仿评分作为快速筛选器，仅对精英候选者选择性地应用高保真实例评估，从而有效平衡搜索效率与性能可靠性。实验验证了BiFE的搜索效率以及其发现的规则的竞争力，这些规则在CPU上超越了SCIP求解器和其他基准，甚至超过了某些基于GPU的神经策略。

Distinguish or Homogenize: Last-Chance Policy Identification and Risk-Budgeted Recovery under Irreversible Resource Depletion
区分还是同质化：不可逆资源枯竭下的最后机会政策识别与风险预算恢复
Abstract
Under irreversible resource depletion, an agent can spend resources to distinguish among latent fault models, or to change the system state so that the remaining models admit a common acceptable continuation--at which point further diagnosis becomes unnecessary. This distinguish-or-homogenize principle identifies a path that existing frameworks for identification, planning, and diagnosis do not make explicit: prior formulations treat the mapping from fault models to acceptable policies as a given, whereas LCPI makes it a function of the agent's own actions. We formalize this principle through Last-Chance Policy Identification (LCPI), where correctness is evaluated at the state the agent reaches rather than at the initial state. The Last Identifiable Margin (LIM) marks the feasibility boundary between distinguishing and homogenizing. For deterministic diagnostic graphs we provide the Exact-LIM recursion; for noisy finite-horizon recovery we propose Risk-Budgeted Compatibility Planning (RBCP), which searches a compatibility-aware frontier under a hard worst-case failure constraint. Across incident recovery on abstract microservice topologies and latent-damage navigation in MiniGrid, RBCP improves risk-feasible recovery while satisfying the failure budget. A sham control--cost-matched actions that preserve model incompatibility--eliminates the gain entirely, confirming that the benefit comes from changing which policies are acceptable for which models, not from extra search or additional budget.

在不可逆资源枯竭的情况下，代理可以花费资源来区分潜在的故障模型，或者改变系统状态，使得剩余模型能够接受一个共同的可持续方案——在此时进一步的诊断变得不再必要。这一区分或同质化原则识别出了一条现有识别、规划和诊断框架未明确指出的路径：先前的公式将故障模型到可接受政策的映射视为既定，而最后机会政策识别（Last-Chance Policy Identification, LCPI）则将其视为代理自身行动的函数。我们通过最后机会政策识别（LCPI）形式化这一原则，其中正确性是在代理达到的状态下进行评估，而非在初始状态下进行评估。最后可识别边际（Last Identifiable Margin, LIM）标志着区分与同质化之间的可行性边界。对于确定性诊断图，我们提供了精确的LIM递归；对于噪声有限时间恢复，我们提出了风险预算兼容规划（Risk-Budgeted Compatibility Planning, RBCP），该方法在严格的最坏情况故障约束下搜索兼容性意识前沿。在抽象微服务拓扑上的事件恢复和MiniGrid中的潜在损伤导航中，RBCP在满足故障预算的同时改善了风险可行的恢复。一个虚假控制——保持模型不兼容的成本匹配动作——完全消除了收益，确认了收益来自于改变哪些政策对哪些模型是可接受的，而不是来自额外的搜索或额外的预算。

SIPO: Unifying Reinforcement Learning with On-Policy Self-Distillation
SIPO：将强化学习与在线自蒸馏统一起来
Abstract
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become a standard paradigm for improving large language models (LLMs) on various tasks, yet its sparse outcome rewards lack token-level credit assignment for intermediate steps. To address this, on-policy self-distillation (OPSD) leverages a self-teacher with privileged context to provide additional dense learning signals. However, because the self-teacher is often overconfident and imposes excessive penalties on long reasoning trajectories, OPSD frequently struggles in practice. To mitigate this, we propose self-instructing policy optimization (SIPO) with a contrastive self-teacher to provide dense credit. At each iteration, SIPO samples multiple rollouts per prompt from the current policy, scores them with environment rewards, and constructs two teacher contexts for each rollout by pairing the reference answer with mistakes made within the group. The model then re-evaluates its own responses under both contexts, using the difference between the two teacher log-probabilities as token-level feedback, so that biases shared by both contexts are expected to largely cancel. The resulting objective yields a token-level advantage for every rollout: the reward still sets the main direction of each update while the self-teacher redistributes credit across tokens. Even in groups where every rollout fails and group-relative advantages vanish, SIPO still provides a learning signal. By preserving direct optimization of the task reward while providing dense, token-level feedback, this approach bridges reinforcement learning and on-policy self-distillation. Extensive experiments across multiple reasoning and code-generation benchmarks demonstrate that SIPO outperforms both RLVR and OPSD baselines without an external teacher or additional generation.

带有可验证奖励的强化学习（RLVR）已成为提升大型语言模型（LLMs）在各种任务上表现的标准范式，但其稀疏的结果奖励缺乏对中间步骤的令牌级信用分配。为了解决这个问题，在线自蒸馏（OPSD）利用具有特权上下文的自教师提供额外的密集学习信号。然而，由于自教师通常过于自信，并对长推理轨迹施加过度惩罚，OPSD在实践中常常面临困难。为此，我们提出了自指令策略优化（SIPO），采用对比自教师提供密集信用。在每次迭代中，SIPO从当前策略中为每个提示采样多个回合，通过环境奖励对其进行评分，并通过将参考答案与组内错误配对构建两个教师上下文。然后，模型在这两个上下文下重新评估自己的响应，利用两个教师对数概率之间的差异作为令牌级反馈，从而期望两个上下文共享的偏差在很大程度上相互抵消。最终目标为每个回合带来了令牌级优势：奖励仍然设定每次更新的主要方向，而自教师则在令牌之间重新分配信用。即使在每个回合都失败且组相对优势消失的情况下，SIPO仍然提供学习信号。通过保留任务奖励的直接优化，同时提供密集的令牌级反馈，该方法架起了强化学习与在线自蒸馏之间的桥梁。针对多个推理和代码生成基准的广泛实验表明，SIPO在没有外部教师或额外生成的情况下，超越了RLVR和OPSD基线。

EASE: Behavior-Adaptive Skill Curation for Self-Evolving Agents
EASE：自我进化代理的行为自适应技能策划
Abstract
Agent skills provide a lightweight mechanism for self-evolving agents to accumulate reusable procedural knowledge without updating model parameters. However, existing learned skill curators typically optimize curation without explicitly modeling downstream executor behavior. We show that this can cause systematic cross-executor degradation: curators trained with different executors perform best when paired with their own training executor, indicating that effective skill curation is executor-dependent. We formulate behavior-adaptive skill curation and introduce EASE, a framework that learns a single curator that adapts its decisions to different executor behaviors. EASE maintains an online behavioral profile of recent execution patterns and conditions the curator on this profile, the current trajectory, and retrieved skills to add, modify, or remove skills from an evolving repository. We train the shared curator jointly across multiple frozen executors with reinforcement learning, using retrieval-aware and behavior-aware temporal attribution to focus optimization on curation actions with observable downstream influence. Across ALFWorld, ScienceWorld, and WebShop, with executors ranging from Qwen3-8B/32B and GPT-OSS-120B to unseen Kimi K2.6, DeepSeek V4 Flash, and Gemini 3.5 Flash, EASE outperforms strong skill- and memory-based baselines without per-executor finetuning. EASE also maintains 34.5--41.0% fewer skills, improves skill retrieval by 36.3--38.7% and measured edit utility by 51.8--60.0%, and reduces deployment-time inference tokens by 9.1--14.5%. These results establish behavior-adaptive skill curation as an effective principle for building self-evolving agents.

Generalizable Lifelong Model Editing via Preference Optimization
可推广的终身模型编辑通过偏好优化
Abstract
Knowledge editing enables rapid updates of specific factual knowledge in large language models (LLMs) without full retraining. However, more realistic scenarios call for a lifelong framework that handles continual updates rather than one-off modifications. In such settings, existing editing methods often overfit to target prompts, significantly degrading both the generalization of the edited knowledge and the model's general capabilities. To address this issue, we propose GLIME (Generalizable Lifelong Model Editing), which combines knowledge editing with preference optimization over generation behavior. GLIME further incorporates replay-based editing and a gradient constraint to preserve previously edited knowledge. Experimental results show that GLIME significantly improves knowledge generalization in lifelong editing settings while maintaining both editing performance and general capabilities.

Emergent Specialization in Populations of Self-Supervised Collaborative Vision Experts Without a Shared Gate or Cross-Agent Gradients
没有共享门控或跨代理梯度的自监督协作视觉专家群体中的新兴专业化
Abstract
Can a population of neural networks develop a useful division of labor without a shared gate or gradients between agents? We study a setting where each network has its own weights, trains independently on the same heterogeneous data, and can ask another agent for help through a forward pass. Unlike mixtures of experts, where a jointly trained gate assigns inputs to experts, specialization here must emerge without central control. We test this in a small scale proxy for predictive visual pretraining. Initially identical agents are finetuned on an unlabeled mixture of six visual domains using masked prediction of frozen DINOv3 features. We measure specialization by asking whether the best agent for an input aligns with its latent domain, and utilization by asking whether responsibility is distributed across agents. We progressively remove central control, ending with DISCO (DIStributed COllaboration) where each agent locally selects a helper, reads its internal state through a gradient free channel, and rewards its router only for the improvement that help provides. Specialization emerges and is useful. Randomly routed populations underperform a single generalist, while semantically routed populations outperform it, showing that specialization rather than population size drives the gain. Specialization persists without a central router, and gradient free communication lets nonexperts exploit emergent expertise. In DISCO, a random agent helped by the expert matches the solo generalist, while experts surpass it, including on data outside the specialization mixture. Local routers select the emergent expert for 98% of inputs. These effects persist across population size, model capacity, data imbalance, and finetuning seeds, providing measurable evidence for the dynamics needed by decentralized predictive pretraining.

Code4Scene: Benchmarking Coding Agents for Constructing and Editing 3D Scenes
Code4Scene：编码代理构建和编辑 3D 场景的基准测试
Abstract
Frontier coding agents can now write and execute code that authors 3D environments, but whether they reliably understand 3D structure and precisely control scene state remains unclear. The generated 3D scene is a persistent, executable artifact: a convincing render can hide incorrect spatial relations, intersecting objects, or unintended modifications. We introduce Code4Scene, a benchmark of 190 Unreal Engine cases built from human-assembled scenes that evaluates coding agents on two complementary settings under a shared execution interface. Construction tests scene-level spatial reasoning from open-ended language specifications, where many realizations are valid; editing tests precise control of scene state, where the agent must recover the target scene from reference images while preserving everything else. Rather than scoring code or rendered views, Code4Scene evaluates the generated engine-native scene for task fulfillment, artifact integrity, and static physical validity, with edits additionally compared against withheld ground truth. Across 14 coding-agent configurations on the 95-case public set, construction and editing performance are strongly correlated but not interchangeable (Spearman $\rho = 0.78$): Claude Fable 5.1 leads construction, Gemini 3.8 Flash leads editing, and GPT-6 Astra narrowly leads overall. Spatial Composition is the weakest construction category for every agent, while editing remains imprecise: the best Repair F1 is only 0.527, and 35.8% of edits that fully recover the target still introduce unintended changes elsewhere in the scene. These results expose a gap between plausible 3D generation and reliable spatial reasoning and state control.

Aperture: Merge-Consistent Rotary States for Compressed Tokens
光圈：合并一致的旋转状态用于压缩令牌
Abstract
Token compression combines content from several positions, yet rotary position embeddings usually assign the merged token one coordinate. We ask what positional information must survive later merges. Aperture stores Fourier moments of the token's weighted support at the model's rotary frequencies. We prove that these moments have minimal real dimension among continuous states sufficient for the selected expected rotary interactions. Represented mass makes updates additive; attention normalisation remains a separate readout choice. Uniform intervals give a centre rotation times a sinc gain. We characterise when centres determine interval widths and construct matched examples where they do not. Numerical checks verify the weighted-support implementation. In trained temporal readers, compression transfer varies with gain calibration and feature placement. In a prespecified native video question-answering comparison, stored support reaches $65.63\%$ accuracy versus $67.12\%$ for the deployed merging rule. These results separate exact positional preservation under compression from downstream benefit.

AI as a Compiler: Compiling Triton kernels without the Triton compiler
人工智能作为编译器：在没有Triton编译器的情况下编译Triton内核
Abstract
Compiler backends are expensive to build and maintain as programming models, workloads, and accelerators evolve. We investigate whether large language models can replace the conventional optimizing and lowering pipeline, a process that we call AI lowering. We study AI lowering from Triton to NVIDIA PTX: an LLM agent translates Triton kernels directly into PTX. We build an environment that evaluates candidate PTX, and an agentic harness in which an LLM translates Triton kernels into PTX. Across twelve common kernels on Ada, Hopper, and Blackwell GPUs and ten kernels from recent ML papers, AI lowering achieves 0.83x-3.34x the performance of autotuned Triton. The largest gains come from transformations that Triton's lowering pipeline does not perform, such as decoding packed binary weights directly into Tensor Core operands (3.34x on BitDelta), assigning each thread a complete softmax row in tensor memory (1.37x on FlashAttention), and reusing overlapping convolution windows (up to 2.23x). These results rely on a robust evaluation harness with comprehensive verification support. We build on Volta, an existing PTX verifier, and substantially extend it to support modern GPU architectures by introducing support for Blackwell's tcgen05 Tensor Core interface. This requires modeling three architectural features: managed tensor memory, descriptor-based operand layouts, and asynchronous execution coordinated through commits, waits, memory barriers, and proxy fences. We discuss the challenges involved in formalizing them, as well as the current limitations. Our results suggest an emerging future in which AI compilers replace custom-written intermediate representations and checkers, reducing the time and engineering effort required to bring up software for new general-purpose and custom chips.

Large language model (LLM) agents reuse external memory to guide new tasks, but effective retrieval requires learning which memory sets improve execution. Such learning relies on costly outcome feedback: ordinary retrieval observes only executed sets, while evaluating alternatives requires additional rollouts. We introduce \textsc{UpliftMem}, which learns memory retrieval from set-level execution uplift relative to the same executor without memory. A theoretical analysis of how retrieval preferences restrict feedback coverage motivates targeted probing of alternative memory sets. Probe selection follows an expected value of sample information (EVSI) criterion, derived in closed form under a correlated Gaussian model, to allocate limited training rollouts according to their expected improvement in local retrieval decisions. The shared scorer is trained with a frozen executor and selects memory sets without test-time probes. Across ALFWorld, WebShop, and BigCodeBench, \textsc{UpliftMem} achieves the best success rates among evaluated baselines on the main evaluation sets. Controlled fixed-store and matched probe budget evaluations further demonstrate improved memory-use decisions and more effective use of execution feedback.

大型语言模型（LLM）代理通过重用外部记忆来指导新任务，但有效的检索需要学习哪些记忆集合能改善执行。这种学习依赖于昂贵的结果反馈：普通检索仅观察已执行的集合，而评估替代方案则需要额外的回滚。我们提出了 extsc{UpliftMem}，它通过相对于没有记忆的同一执行者的集合级执行提升来学习记忆检索。对检索偏好的理论分析限制了反馈覆盖，促使对替代记忆集合的有针对性探测。探测选择遵循期望样本信息值（EVSI）标准，该标准在相关高斯模型下以封闭形式推导，以根据其在局部检索决策中的预期改善分配有限的训练回滚。在冻结的执行者下训练共享评分器，并在测试时选择记忆集合而无需探测。在 ALFWorld、WebShop 和 BigCodeBench 上， extsc{UpliftMem} 在主要评估集合中实现了评估基线中最高的成功率。受控的固定存储和匹配探测预算评估进一步证明了改进的记忆使用决策和更有效的执行反馈利用。

CAD-Native Transformer Operators for AI-Aided Engineering
用于人工智能辅助工程的CAD原生变换算子
Abstract
Modern engineering systems, from automobiles to aircraft, are designed by using precise, continuous parametric computer-aided design (CAD) models. Evaluating design changes through numerical simulation requires meshing the continuous geometry, a computationally expensive and often brittle process that can require manual intervention and replaces the continuous representation with a discrete approximation. Most neural surrogates accelerate the simulation, but inherit this representation gap by relying on meshes, point clouds, voxels, or other sampled approximations of geometry. We introduce CANTO, a transformer neural operator that maps directly from continuous CAD geometry to physical fields, without meshing the input geometry. We develop a theoretical framework for learning operators from geometric manifolds to function spaces of physical fields, representing geometry through sequences of parametric patches. CANTO instantiates this framework by directly tokenizing non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) patches from their control points, knot vectors, and weights, and predicts continuous surface and volume fields at arbitrary query locations. We evaluate CANTO on four automotive and aircraft aerodynamics industry benchmarks: AhmedML, WindsorML, DrivAerML, and HiLiftAeroML. CANTO achieves state-of-the-art accuracy on most evaluated surface and volume prediction tasks, including a 19.8% reduction in surface-pressure relative $L_2$ error compared with AB-UPT on HiLiftAeroML. Differentiability with respect to CAD parameters further enables gradient-based inverse design of designs. On AhmedML, CANTO identifies designs with 4.4 to 20.4% lower drag than the best dataset designs satisfying the same volume and lift constraints, with the improvements verified using the same CFD setup used to generate the original dataset.

现代工程系统，从汽车到飞机，都是通过精确的连续参数化计算机辅助设计（CAD）模型进行设计的。通过数值模拟评估设计变更需要对连续几何体进行网格划分，这是一项计算上昂贵且常常脆弱的过程，可能需要人工干预，并将连续表示替换为离散近似。大多数神经代理加速了模拟，但通过依赖网格、点云、体素或其他几何体的采样近似，继承了这种表示差距。我们提出了CANTO，一种变换神经算子，能够直接将连续CAD几何体映射到物理场，而无需对输入几何体进行网格划分。我们开发了一个理论框架，用于从几何流形学习算子到物理场的函数空间，通过参数化补丁序列表示几何体。CANTO通过直接对非均匀有理B样条（NURBS）补丁的控制点、节点向量和权重进行标记，实现了这一框架，并在任意查询位置预测连续的表面和体积场。我们在四个汽车和飞机气动行业基准上评估了CANTO：AhmedML、WindsorML、DrivAerML和HiLiftAeroML。CANTO在大多数评估的表面和体积预测任务中实现了最先进的准确性，包括在HiLiftAeroML上相对于AB-UPT的表面压力相对$L_2$误差减少19.8%。相对于CAD参数的可微性进一步使基于梯度的逆设计成为可能。在AhmedML上，CANTO识别出比满足相同体积和升力约束的最佳数据集设计低4.4%到20.4%的阻力设计，且改进通过使用生成原始数据集的相同CFD设置得到了验证。

Geometry-Conditioned Fixed-Scaffold Encoders for Time-Warp Robust Sequence Retrieval
几何条件固定支架编码器用于时间扭曲鲁棒序列检索
Abstract
Embedding-based retrieval is attractive for long sequence collections because each item can be encoded once and searched by nearest-neighbor ranking. The difficulty is that the objects being indexed are often observed under a noncanonical clock: cardiac cycles stretch with rate, speech changes with tempo, and sensor traces reach comparable states at different speeds. This paper studies a specific source of instability in patch-based encoders for this regime. If patch boundaries are chosen from signal geometry, then the tokenization can change under the same temporal deformation that the representation is expected to tolerate. We propose GeoPatch, a fixed-scaffold patch encoder that keeps token support independent of geometry and uses slope, curvature, acceleration, affine-residual, and confidence descriptors only as continuous conditioning variables. The design turns boundary variation into feature modulation: geometry can change the embedding through a controlled pathway, but it cannot change the number, order, or support of local tokens. We formalize this distinction through a mechanism-level stability analysis that separates boundary drift, affine timing variation, confidence-weighted geometry perturbation, and retrieval-margin effects. The same local tokens support global embedding retrieval and late-interaction scoring, so the scoring rule can be matched to the evaluation protocol. Across ECG, speech, and multivariate time-series retrieval tasks, GeoPatch improves early-rank retrieval under timing variation while exposing a clear trade-off between local surface matching and strict non-overlap retrieval.

基于嵌入的检索对于长序列集合具有吸引力，因为每个项目可以被编码一次，并通过最近邻排名进行搜索。困难在于，被索引的对象通常是在非规范时钟下观察到的：心脏周期随着速率伸展，语音随着节奏变化，传感器轨迹在不同速度下达到可比状态。本文研究了在这种情况下基于补丁的编码器中不稳定性的一个特定来源。如果补丁边界是根据信号几何选择的，那么在预期能够容忍的相同时间变形下，标记化可能会发生变化。我们提出了GeoPatch，一种固定支架补丁编码器，它保持标记支持独立于几何，并仅使用斜率、曲率、加速度、仿射残差和置信度描述符作为连续条件变量。该设计将边界变化转化为特征调制：几何可以通过受控路径改变嵌入，但不能改变局部标记的数量、顺序或支持。我们通过机制级稳定性分析形式化了这一区别，分离了边界漂移、仿射时序变化、置信度加权几何扰动和检索边际效应。同样的局部标记支持全局嵌入检索和后期交互评分，因此评分规则可以与评估协议相匹配。在ECG、语音和多变量时间序列检索任务中，GeoPatch在时序变化下改善了早期排名检索，同时揭示了局部表面匹配与严格非重叠检索之间的明显权衡。

Calibrate the Decisions That Change the Future: On-Policy Post-Training Quantization for Multimodal Large Language Models
校准改变未来的决策：针对多模态大型语言模型的在线后训练量化
Abstract
Post-training quantization (PTQ) lowers deployment cost for multimodal large language models, but calibration typically reconstructs fixed sequences with local objectives. This overlooks autoregressive feedback: a quantization-induced token change redirects the prefix and changes future states. Yet on-policy coverage alone is insufficient because many decision mismatches barely affect future generation. We propose OnPTQ, an on-policy framework that calibrates on trajectories visited by the current quantized policy. On shared prefixes, OnPTQ identifies quantization-eroded boundaries, evaluates competing tokens through short counterfactual rollouts, and combines current discrepancy with branch consequence into a Decision--Consequence risk. The risk prioritizes critical states, while context anchoring and trajectory refresh preserve multimodal behavior and keep calibration aligned with the updated policy. We further derive a Decision--Consequence bound linking behavioral deviation to current policy discrepancy and action-conditioned future-value span. Across vision--language and omni-modal Qwen models under multiple low-bit settings, OnPTQ improves downstream performance and yields fewer correctness flips against the corresponding Dense/FP16 references, without changing the deployed inference graph.

后训练量化（PTQ）降低了多模态大型语言模型的部署成本，但校准通常是通过局部目标重构固定序列。这忽视了自回归反馈：量化引起的标记变化会重定向前缀并改变未来状态。然而，仅依靠在线策略覆盖是不够的，因为许多决策不匹配几乎不会影响未来生成。我们提出了OnPTQ，这是一种在线框架，能够在当前量化策略访问的轨迹上进行校准。在共享前缀上，OnPTQ识别量化侵蚀的边界，通过短期反事实回滚评估竞争标记，并将当前差异与分支后果结合成决策-后果风险。该风险优先考虑关键状态，同时上下文锚定和轨迹刷新保持多模态行为，并使校准与更新的策略保持一致。我们进一步推导出一个决策-后果界限，将行为偏差与当前策略差异和动作条件的未来价值跨度联系起来。在多个低比特设置下的视觉-语言和全模态Qwen模型中，OnPTQ提高了下游性能，并在相应的Dense/FP16参考模型中减少了正确性翻转，而无需更改部署的推理图。

The Default Trap: Rethinking Plan Evaluation in Tool-Using LLM Agents
默认陷阱：重新思考工具使用的LLM代理中的计划评估
Abstract
An executor can respond strongly to a change in a supplied plan's priority while showing a small change in the same information-selection probability when a default-aligned whole plan is removed. We call the risk of interpreting the latter as weak responsiveness to alternative priorities the default trap. We compare paired plans that prioritize different information targets with a shared no-plan reference. An accounting identity relates these distinct behavioral contrasts. Across 3,200 decision windows on 160 selected Retail, Airline, and AgentDojo tasks, switching priorities strongly redirects two models' choices, while the two plan-versus-default contrasts differ. In 2,160 additional windows, reversing account-list order shifts default target selection by 63.3-98.3 percentage points; priority-switching effects remain 96.7-100.0 points in either order. A separate 3,240-window component study finds strong control under single priority sentences, with effects of additional text varying by group and direction. Finally, 1,080 full-task episodes yield observed success differences of -19.4 to +8.3 points relative to no plan. All Retail and Airline success intervals include zero; AgentDojo results describe four fixed application worlds. These findings support joint reporting of priority responsiveness, presentation-dependent defaults, and task success and cost.

Where Does Staleness Accumulate? Pool Aware Effective Staleness Control for Asynchronous RL in LLM Post-Training
过时性如何积累？面向池的有效过时性控制在大型语言模型后训练中的异步强化学习
Abstract
Fully asynchronous reinforcement learning (RL) improves resource utilization in large language model post-training by overlapping rollout generation with policy optimization, but it also introduces policy lag as trajectories are generated and queued while the trainer continues to update. We study how this lag accumulates over a trajectory's lifetime and how it can be controlled without sacrificing the wall-clock benefits of asynchronous execution. We decompose trajectory staleness into Generation Staleness, accumulated before rollout completion, and Waiting Staleness, accumulated after a completed trajectory enters the pool. Motivated by this decomposition, we introduce PACE (Pool-Aware Control of Effective Staleness). PACE converts excess pool occupancy into an adaptive rejection budget and ranks completed trajectories using an effective-staleness score that combines Waiting Staleness with prefix-aware Generation Staleness. This avoids penalizing long or interrupted rollouts solely because they span multiple policy versions. In single-turn mathematical reasoning, PACE improves the six-benchmark average validation accuracy by 18.7\% over unfiltered asynchronous RL at the same wall-clock budget and matches synchronous RL performance with 47.1\% less GPU time. PACE also improves validation performance in multi-turn tool-integrated reasoning, outperforming both synchronous and unfiltered asynchronous RL. Further experiments with the mixture-of-experts model and an alternative RL algorithm support its applicability across model architectures and training algorithms.

完全异步的强化学习（RL）通过将回滚生成与策略优化重叠，提高了大型语言模型后训练中的资源利用率，但也引入了策略滞后，因为在训练者继续更新的同时，轨迹被生成并排队。我们研究了这种滞后如何在轨迹的生命周期中积累，以及如何在不牺牲异步执行的实际时间收益的情况下进行控制。我们将轨迹的过时性分解为生成过时性（Generation Staleness），即在回滚完成之前积累的过时性，以及等待过时性（Waiting Staleness），即在完成的轨迹进入池后积累的过时性。基于这一分解，我们引入了PACE（面向池的有效过时性控制）。PACE将过剩的池占用转化为自适应拒绝预算，并使用结合等待过时性和前缀感知生成过时性的有效过时性评分对完成的轨迹进行排序。这避免了仅仅因为长或中断的回滚跨越多个策略版本而受到惩罚。在单回合数学推理中，PACE在相同实际时间预算下将六个基准的平均验证准确率提高了18.7%，并且与同步RL的性能相匹配，同时减少了47.1%的GPU时间。PACE还在多回合工具集成推理中提高了验证性能，超越了同步和未过滤的异步RL。对混合专家模型和替代RL算法的进一步实验支持了其在不同模型架构和训练算法中的适用性。

ARC-KV: Amortizing Anchor Search for Reconstruction-Based KV Cache Compaction
ARC-KV：基于重构的KV缓存压缩的摊销锚点搜索
Abstract
Long-context large language model inference is bottlenecked by KV caches that grow linearly with sequence length. This burden is especially severe for long, reusable context prefixes, whose cache must serve many downstream queries. Reconstruction-based methods such as Attention Matching achieve strong downstream task performance with compact KV caches. However, iterative anchor search dominates the compaction cost of OMP-based Attention Matching. This motivates our selective amortization principle of learning a reusable anchor-selection policy across contexts while retaining context-specific reconstruction. In this work, we propose ARC-KV, a novel reconstruction-based KV cache compaction method that follows this principle. To this end, we first train a value-aware indexer to select real-key anchors in a single scoring pass. ARC-KV then applies convex-hull-constrained key merging and fits an attention-mass bias and compact values against the full cache. At inference time, ARC-KV builds the compact cache once per context using the frozen indexer and reuses it for all subsequent queries. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ARC-KV outperforms reported compaction methods in most settings across QuALITY, RULER, and LongBench on Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct. In particular, at 10% KV retention on QuALITY, ARC-KV improves accuracy from 0.6409 to 0.6474 over Attention Matching while reducing compaction time by a factor of 25.73, from 959.8 s to 37.3 s.

长上下文大语言模型推理受到KV缓存的瓶颈，缓存的大小与序列长度呈线性增长。这种负担在长且可重用的上下文前缀中尤为严重，因为其缓存必须服务于许多下游查询。基于重构的方法如注意力匹配（Attention Matching）在紧凑的KV缓存中实现了强大的下游任务性能。然而，迭代锚点搜索主导了基于OMP的注意力匹配的压缩成本。这促使我们提出选择性摊销原则，即在保留上下文特定重构的同时，学习跨上下文的可重用锚点选择策略。在本研究中，我们提出了ARC-KV，这是一种遵循这一原则的新型基于重构的KV缓存压缩方法。为此，我们首先训练一个值感知索引器，在单次评分中选择真实键锚点。然后，ARC-KV应用凸包约束的键合并，并针对完整缓存拟合注意力质量偏差和紧凑值。在推理时，ARC-KV使用冻结的索引器为每个上下文构建紧凑缓存，并在所有后续查询中重用它。大量实验表明，ARC-KV在Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct的QuALITY、RULER和LongBench的绝大多数设置中优于已报告的压缩方法。特别是在QuALITY上10%的KV保留率下，ARC-KV将准确率从0.6409提高到0.6474，同时将压缩时间从959.8秒减少到37.3秒，减少了25.73倍。

Automated Screw Planning for Reduced Pelvic Fractures Based on Statistical Shape Models and Deep Learning
基于统计形状模型和深度学习的自动化螺钉规划以减少骨盆骨折
Abstract
Percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation is an important minimally invasive treatment for unstable pelvic fractures. Because the sacroiliac region has complex anatomy and narrow screw corridors, the accuracy and safety of screw placement directly affect surgical outcomes. Accurate and reliable preoperative screw planning is therefore essential to improve surgical success and reduce intraoperative risks. Conventional preoperative planning typically requires surgeons to determine screw trajectories through manual measurements, a labor-intensive process that depends on subjective clinical experience. To address these challenges, we propose a fully automated pipeline for preoperative iliosacral screw planning in patients with pelvic fractures. Using patient-specific three-dimensional anatomy, the pipeline automatically identifies safe screw corridors and generates individualized insertion trajectories to support clinical preoperative planning. We evaluated the proposed pipeline on 200 clinical cases of pelvic fractures. Compared with conventional manual measurements, the safety margin of the safe insertion corridors increased by 2% across the four screw types, the mean planning time decreased by more than 90%, and the clinical acceptance rate reached 95%.

When Upstream Messages Override Correct Answers: A Controlled Study of Multi-Agent LLM Collaboration
当上游信息覆盖正确答案时：多智能体大型语言模型协作的控制研究
Abstract
Multi-agent LLM systems rely on message passing among specialized agents to accomplish complex tasks. However, an upstream agent may provide useful information or an incorrect answer that causes a downstream agent to override a correct answer supported by its own evidence. Prior work has not clearly separated the benefits of communication from the damage caused by incorrect messages. We study this problem with controlled experiments across five benchmarks and five receivers, keeping the downstream task and evidence fixed while comparing answers under three conditions: no message, the upstream agent's original message, or a message with the opposite conclusion. Our experiments reveal three key findings. First, messages often help when the downstream agent would otherwise answer incorrectly. Second, messages can also hurt: when the downstream agent would answer correctly without a message, an incorrect upstream message changes the answer in up to 32% of cases. Third, in 94% of audited harmful cases, the downstream agent copies the upstream's specific wrong answer--a pattern we term answer substitution. Removing unreliable messages recovers part of the lost accuracy, suggesting that communication should be selective based on upstream reliability and the evidence already available to the downstream agent.

We present IronLLM-0.6B, a 654M-parameter language model designed for efficient on-device inference. IronLLM-0.6B combines a hybrid attention architecture with X-MTP, a lightweight shared-KV multi-token prediction design that eliminates per-depth KV-cache replay and employs a lightweight verification head for rollback-free drafting, achieving a 1.48x decoding speedup.

To better meet the low-latency requirements of on-device scenarios, IronLLM-0.6B adopts an Instruct-Only design. Evaluations show that IronLLM-0.6B achieves competitive performance relative to larger models such as Qwen3.5-0.8B and MiniCPM5-1B, while producing more concise responses on many tasks. We further present IronLLM-0.6B-Light, which replaces RMSNorm with Dynamic Tanh and simplifies several computationally expensive components to improve inference and quantization efficiency. Together, the IronLLM models provide an effective performance-efficiency trade-off for resource-constrained deployment.

Abstract
We propose STRAT, an auxiliary task that trains deep reinforcement learning (RL) agents to predict a short textual trace of their own state. Inspired by human spatial navigation, the description combines landmark, route, and survey knowledge, tracking the agent's position, inventory, goals, and immediate progress. Environment rules generate this text online without human labelling. Our method adds a single auxiliary head to a standard policy. Across 60 sparse-reward XLand-MiniGrid tasks, STRAT solves complex environments where standard RL fails outright, while compacting state representations and preventing rank collapse. Beyond performance gains, the predicted trace provides a readable account of agent beliefs at every step for no extra cost.

WEFT: Scaling Tool-Use Post-Training for General-Purpose Agents
WEFT：为通用智能体后训练扩展工具使用
Abstract
Recent efforts to scale tool-use post-training have largely centered on the synthesis of executable environments, which constitute only one component of a broader agentic interaction system comprising the environment, task, agent harness, and evaluator. Scaling environments in isolation, however, does not guarantee commensurate gains in model performance, because reliable learning signals depend on coherent interactions among all components of the agentic interaction system. To address this problem, we introduce WEFT (Whole-system Evolution For Tool-use Post-training), which couples scalable agentic interaction system construction, execution-driven self-evolution, and stable post-training. WEFT scales agentic interaction system construction across environment breadth, task complexity, and interaction diversity. Execution-driven self-evolution iteratively uses execution traces and state evidence to attribute failures and revise the responsible components, with fresh rollouts evaluating the changes and providing evidence for subsequent evolution rounds. For stable post-training at scale, WEFT addresses both optimization and execution reliability: prefix-preserving sampling retains verified progress and atomic-turn credit assignment localizes learning signals, while MegaMCP maintains isolated, recoverable state across concurrent rollouts over shared tool services. Extensive experiments across various models and benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of WEFT for tool-use post-training. WEFT-8B and WEFT-14B outperform all evaluated matched-size environment-scaling baselines on BFCL V4, $\tau^2$-Bench, and Claw-Eval. In particular, WEFT-14B improves over Agent-World-14B by 6.41, 2.23, and 12.27 percentage points. WEFT-35B-A3B further extends these gains to more challenging long-horizon workflow benchmarks, including Toolathlon-Verified and AutomationBench.

Beyond Sub-Gaussian Detector Scores: Robust Weighted Profile-Loss Change Point Detection for Human-LLM Text Segmentation
超越亚高斯检测器分数：针对人类-LLM文本分割的稳健加权轮廓损失变更点检测
Abstract
Mixed human-LLM documents require locating authorship transitions from detector scores whose reliability varies across text units. Existing weighted mean contrasts are vulnerable to extreme scores, while directly replacing means with robust centers obscures how a misplaced boundary changes the population objective. We propose Robust Weighted Profile-Loss Change Point Detection (RWCP), which combines capped reliability weights, Huber profile gains, and narrowest-over-threshold search in reliability coordinates. Our key analysis expresses the population gap between a true and a displaced split as a merge cost, avoiding a closed-form solution for the nonlinear center of a mixed segment. Under explicit curvature, spacing, and dependence conditions, core RWCP recovers the number of changes and localizes their boundaries; its quadratic-loss limit recovers squared weighted CUSUM. We also study RWCP-R, a separately evaluated decoder that shares source centers across nonadjacent passages. Across five retrospective cached-score benchmark families, core RWCP reduces family-macro WindowDiff by 17.6\% relative to weighted change-point detection, and RWCP-R lowers it further. Boundary recovery improves most clearly for isolated changes, while both fixed configurations miss changes in collaborative and densely alternating text.

As the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) continue to advance, increasing attention is turning to how to translate their abilities into useful behavior. Personal agents bring this question into everyday settings, where models are expected to serve individual users and continually adapt to their preferences. With the underlying model held fixed, such adaptation relies on harness engineering: designing and evolving the surrounding layer that manages context, memory, tools, and execution. Despite rapid progress, the factors governing effective harness evolution remain insufficiently understood. To narrow this gap, we investigate three central questions concerning harness architecture, harness scale, and self-evolution algorithms through complementary empirical and theoretical analyses. Empirically, we introduce a preference-oriented benchmark and systematically characterize the capabilities and limitations of personal agents associated with these three dimensions. Theoretically, we formulate harness evolution as a learning problem and explain these phenomena through approximation, generalization, and optimization errors. Analyses of reachable policies, capacity under finite interaction evidence, and biased update dynamics provide theoretical accounts of the observed phenomena. Together, these results offer a unified perspective on the limits of personalization through harness evolution and inform future harness design.

随着大型语言模型（LLMs）能力的不断提升，越来越多的关注转向如何将其能力转化为有用的行为。个人代理将这一问题带入日常环境，在这些环境中，模型被期望为个体用户服务并不断适应他们的偏好。在固定基础模型的情况下，这种适应依赖于工具工程：设计和进化管理上下文、记忆、工具和执行的周边层。尽管取得了快速进展，但支配有效工具进化的因素仍然理解不足。为了缩小这一差距，我们通过互补的实证和理论分析，研究了有关工具架构、工具规模和自我进化算法的三个核心问题。在实证方面，我们引入了一个以偏好为导向的基准，并系统性地描述了与这三个维度相关的个人代理的能力和限制。在理论方面，我们将工具进化形式化为一个学习问题，并通过近似、泛化和优化误差解释这些现象。对可达策略、有限交互证据下的能力以及偏置更新动态的分析提供了对观察到现象的理论解释。这些结果共同提供了一个关于通过工具进化实现个性化限制的统一视角，并为未来的工具设计提供了指导。

HorizonFlow: Variable-Length Planning for Offline Goal-Conditioned RL
HorizonFlow：离线目标条件强化学习的可变长度规划
Abstract
Recent advances in generative planning have made trajectory inpainting a promising approach to offline goal-conditioned reinforcement learning. However, these methods typically specify the planning horizon before generating plan content, even though the appropriate horizon depends on the route itself. A horizon that is too short can force infeasible transitions, whereas one that is too long can introduce redundant motion. We introduce HorizonFlow, a hierarchical planner that treats plan length as an output of generation rather than a prescribed input. Its subgoal route planner guides its action-prefix controller through a sequence of latent subgoals. Both components combine insertion-based generation with flow matching to jointly generate continuous plan content and length, using the partially generated plan to guide token insertion. HorizonFlow reuses the resulting length information to select candidates and steer generation toward shorter plans without a separate learned value model. Across Maze2D, Multi2D, and OGBench navigation and visual manipulation benchmarks, HorizonFlow achieves the highest average performance among the compared methods.

最近在生成规划方面的进展使得轨迹修复成为离线目标条件强化学习的一个有前景的方法。然而，这些方法通常在生成计划内容之前就指定了规划时间范围，尽管适当的时间范围实际上取决于路径本身。时间范围过短可能会导致不可行的转换，而时间范围过长则可能引入冗余的运动。我们提出了HorizonFlow，这是一种层次规划器，将计划长度视为生成的输出，而不是预先规定的输入。其子目标路径规划器通过一系列潜在子目标引导其动作前缀控制器。这两个组件结合了基于插入的生成和流匹配，共同生成连续的计划内容和长度，利用部分生成的计划来指导标记插入。HorizonFlow重用生成的长度信息来选择候选项，并在没有单独学习的价值模型的情况下将生成引导向更短的计划。在Maze2D、Multi2D和OGBench导航及视觉操作基准测试中，HorizonFlow在比较的方法中实现了最高的平均性能。

STAR-GRPO: Canonical Anchoring and Reliability-First Advantages against Representation-Dependent Reward Hacking
STAR-GRPO：针对依赖表征的奖励黑客的规范锚定和优先考虑可靠性的优势
Abstract
Reward hacking occurs when policy optimization exploits a brittle reward interface or an overly permissive proxy objective, improving the training score without improving the underlying response quality. This phenomenon is amplified in group-relative policy optimization: an unsupported reward can shift the group baseline and alter the updates of other rollouts, while post-hoc or purely relative weighting cannot represent group-wide uncertainty. We propose \emph{Self-Tuned Anchored Reliability Group-Relative Policy Optimization} (STAR-GRPO), a reliability-first advantage estimator based on paired assessments of the same rollout. STAR separates the quality signal from its learning influence: score disagreement determines rollout reliability, relative reliability enters a self-tuned robust location--scale fit before group normalization, and absolute group reliability attenuates the resulting bounded advantage. The analysis establishes coordinate and second-moment bounds, characterizes exact centering through the weighted location equation, and gives reliability-dependent attenuation guarantees for outlying rewards. We evaluate STAR-GRPO in two complementary reward-hacking regimes. In token-interface exploitation, STAR prevents runaway optimization of the deployed-interface score while improving the canonical quality signal. In rubric-proxy overoptimization for medical reasoning, STAR improves independent semantic evaluation, narrows the proxy--judge discrepancy, and reduces overclaim while optimizing the same task proxy. Together, these results show that reliability-first normalization offers a principled way to limit unsupported reward influence on both group baselines and policy updates, while retaining the task reward as the optimization target.

奖励黑客发生在策略优化利用脆弱的奖励接口或过于宽松的代理目标时，尽管训练得分提高，但底层响应质量并未改善。这一现象在群体相对策略优化中被放大：不支持的奖励可能会改变群体基线并影响其他回合的更新，而事后或纯相对加权无法代表群体范围内的不确定性。我们提出了自调节锚定可靠性群体相对策略优化（Self-Tuned Anchored Reliability Group-Relative Policy Optimization，STAR-GRPO），这是一种基于相同回合的配对评估的优先考虑可靠性的优势估计器。STAR将质量信号与其学习影响分离：得分不一致性决定回合的可靠性，相对可靠性在群体归一化之前进入自调节的鲁棒位置-规模拟合，而绝对群体可靠性减弱了由此产生的有界优势。分析建立了坐标和二阶矩界限，通过加权位置方程表征精确中心化，并为异常奖励提供了依赖可靠性的减弱保证。我们在两种互补的奖励黑客机制中评估了STAR-GRPO。在令牌接口利用中，STAR防止了已部署接口得分的失控优化，同时改善了规范质量信号。在医疗推理的评分代理过度优化中，STAR改善了独立语义评估，缩小了代理-评审者之间的差异，并在优化相同任务代理的同时减少了过度索赔。综合来看，这些结果表明，优先考虑可靠性的归一化提供了一种原则性的方法，以限制不支持的奖励对群体基线和策略更新的影响，同时保留任务奖励作为优化目标。

PrecogUI: Proactive GUI Agents via Pre-cognitive Simulation and Experience Retrieval
PrecogUI：通过预认知模拟和经验检索的主动图形用户界面代理
Abstract
Existing reactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents often fail in long-horizon, dynamic scenarios, where unexpected disturbances trigger attention-diverting and cascading failures. To address this, we propose PrecogUI, a pre-cognitive architecture that shifts the paradigm from reactive execution to proactive decision-making. Specifically, we design a Proactive Experience Pool (PEP), which caches recurring anomaly and success patterns as "state-action-result" tuples in a dual-memory repository. Furthermore, we introduce a Proactive Simulation Executor (PSE) that learns to forecast the next symbolic UI layout given a candidate action, enabling early anomaly avoidance and ranking candidate actions by predicted reliability. Finally, a Pre-cognitive Execution Controller (PEC) fuses these priors and predictions, prioritizes handling of foreseen anomalies, and ensures execution robustness through a closed-loop error correction mechanism. For robust evaluation, we develop AutoTraj, an automatic data-generation engine, to construct InterfereBench, a benchmark for long-horizon tasks with strong disturbances. Experiments demonstrate that PrecogUI surpasses state-of-the-art methods on InterfereBench while maintaining competitive performance on public benchmarks. The code will be publicly available.

Neuro-Symbolic Computer Use: Learning Reusable Policies for Reliable and Efficient Execution
神经符号计算机使用：学习可重用策略以实现可靠和高效的执行
Abstract
Many computer tasks recur: the same workflow runs many times, with new inputs and from different starting states. Current computer-use agents re-plan every step of every run, which makes them costly and unreliable on such tasks. We introduce neuro-symbolic computer use, in which a recurring workflow is executed by a learned policy rather than re-derived by an agent on each run. The policy fixes the decisions that are stable across runs (ordering, variables, loops, and branches) in executable code, and delegates observation-dependent decisions, such as grounding and state checks, to neural models. We learn these policies with neuro-symbolic policy iteration: starting from one agent trajectory, it executes the policy, diagnoses failures with task-completion and step-level judges, and revises the code with a coding model informed by an agent's continuation from the point of failure, without access to the benchmark evaluator. Iterating on generated parameter and initial-state variants makes the policy reusable, and a pre-action verifier guards each state-mutating step at deployment. On OSWorld-Verified and ScienceBoard, the learned policies achieve the highest Pass^3 of all methods in all four settings, 3.6-15.8 points above the base agent, while cutting per-run cost by 15-217$\times$ and latency by 3.4-5.1$\times$. On OSWorld-Verified, policies built only on variants transfer to the held-out original tasks, exceeding AutoRPA by 8.6-17.5 points in Pass^3.

Learn from the Gap: Differential-Aware Advantage Pruning with Adaptive Rollout Sampling for GRPO
从差距中学习：具有自适应回滚采样的差异感知优势剪枝用于GRPO
Abstract
Recently, Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) and its variants have been developed for policy optimization and demonstrated notable performance gains. However, these methods usually incur substantial computational overhead due to per-question multi-rollout sampling and repeated per-token probability evaluation across rollouts. Furthermore, low-information or highly homogeneous trajectories can degrade downstream learning signal efficiency, hindering model optimization and limiting final performance. To address these issues, we propose FastRL, a novel plug-and-play reinforcement learning framework that simultaneously improves training efficiency and the effectiveness of policy learning. Specifically, 1) We introduce an advantage-aware pruning strategy to selectively preserve high-advantage trajectories while maximizing inter-trajectory gradient diversity. 2) Then, we design an adaptive rollout sampling mechanism to dynamically adjust the sampling scale across different training stages based on historical pruning distributions, balancing exploration adequacy and computational efficiency. Experiments demonstrate that FastRL can be seamlessly integrated into GRPO, DAPO, and GSPO variants, achieving an average 2.07$\times$ training speedup on Geometry3K and GeoQA8K-R1V, along with an approximately 1.64\% improvement in average accuracy on visual reasoning benchmarks.

近年来，群体相对策略优化（Group Relative Policy Optimization, GRPO）及其变体已被开发用于策略优化，并展示了显著的性能提升。然而，这些方法通常由于每个问题的多次回滚采样和在回滚中对每个标记的概率评估而产生大量的计算开销。此外，低信息量或高度同质化的轨迹可能会降低下游学习信号的效率，从而阻碍模型优化并限制最终性能。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了FastRL，一个新颖的即插即用强化学习框架，旨在同时提高训练效率和策略学习的有效性。具体而言，1）我们引入了一种优势感知剪枝策略，以选择性地保留高优势轨迹，同时最大化轨迹间的梯度多样性。2）然后，我们设计了一种自适应回滚采样机制，根据历史剪枝分布动态调整不同训练阶段的采样规模，以平衡探索充分性和计算效率。实验表明，FastRL可以无缝集成到GRPO、DAPO和GSPO变体中，在Geometry3K和GeoQA8K-R1V上实现了平均2.07倍的训练加速，同时在视觉推理基准上平均准确率提高了约1.64%。源代码将可在https://github.com/Nicozwy/FastRL获取。

VLALight: A Vision-Language-Action Model for Traffic Signal Control
VLALight：一种用于交通信号控制的视觉-语言-动作模型
Abstract
Traffic signal control (TSC) is essential for improving urban mobility and reducing congestion. Although roadside cameras are widely deployed at signalized intersections and provide rich visual observations of evolving traffic, existing TSC methods typically rely on manually engineered traffic states or separate perception modules, creating a gap between physical observations and control decisions. We present VLALight, the first vision-language-action (VLA) model for end-to-end traffic signal control from multi-view roadside videos. VLALight directly maps visual observations to coordinated signal actions through multi-target spatiotemporal traffic reasoning and topology-aware cooperative perception across intersections. To establish this capability, we develop a two-stage supervised cold-start training strategy for visual traffic understanding and signal decision-making, followed by cooperative agentic reinforcement learning that jointly optimizes local control and network-wide traffic efficiency. Furthermore, VLALight introduces adaptive fast and slow reasoning modes, enabling the policy to allocate deeper reasoning only when additional deliberation provides sufficient control benefits. Through balanced mode-aware rollouts and relative advantage optimization, VLALight learns to trade off decision quality and inference cost. Extensive experiments on seven real-world traffic-flow datasets across three urban networks demonstrate that VLALight consistently outperforms transportation-based, RL-based, and LLM/VLM-based baselines. Ablation studies validate the effectiveness of cooperative perception, network-level optimization, and adaptive reasoning. These results demonstrate the potential of VLA models for real-world physical traffic control. Our project is available at https://github.com/usail-hkust/VLALight.git.

交通信号控制（TSC）对于改善城市流动性和减少拥堵至关重要。尽管路边摄像头在信号交叉口广泛部署，并提供了丰富的动态交通视觉观察，现有的TSC方法通常依赖于手工设计的交通状态或独立的感知模块，从而在物理观察与控制决策之间产生了差距。我们提出了VLALight，这是第一个用于从多视角路边视频进行端到端交通信号控制的视觉-语言-动作（VLA）模型。VLALight通过多目标时空交通推理和交叉口拓扑感知协作，直接将视觉观察映射到协调的信号动作。为了建立这一能力，我们开发了一种两阶段的监督冷启动训练策略，用于视觉交通理解和信号决策，随后进行协作智能体强化学习，以共同优化局部控制和网络范围内的交通效率。此外，VLALight引入了自适应快慢推理模式，使得策略能够在额外的深度推理提供足够的控制收益时，分配更深的推理。通过平衡模式感知的回合和相对优势优化，VLALight学会了在决策质量和推理成本之间进行权衡。在三个城市网络的七个真实交通流数据集上进行的广泛实验表明，VLALight始终优于基于交通的、基于强化学习的以及基于大语言模型/视觉语言模型的基线。消融研究验证了协作感知、网络级优化和自适应推理的有效性。这些结果展示了VLA模型在现实物理交通控制中的潜力。我们的项目可在 https://github.com/usail-hkust/VLALight.git 获取。

CoEM: Empowering Long-Context Reasoning with Commit-on-Evidence Memory
CoEM：通过证据记忆增强长上下文推理
Abstract
Long-context reasoning is essential for complex and long-horizon tasks, yet the performance of large language models (LLMs) degrades as context length increases. Recent approaches address this by processing input chunk by chunk while maintaining a bounded textual memory in model context. However, premature information compression can discard critical details essential for subsequent reasoning. In this paper, we introduce Commit-on-Evidence Memory (CoEM), which learns when to convert source evidence into compact memory facts. Specifically, under a fixed context-memory budget, CoEM preserves potentially useful source excerpts verbatim in a pending set, allowing subsequent context to clarify their relevance before irreversible compression. As new context arrives, a learned policy revisits each pending excerpt and decides whether to promote it to the committed memory, retain it for further consideration, or discard it. A frozen verifier ensures proposed facts are accepted only if supported by retained excerpts and current context. To further guide effective memory management, we train this policy using reinforcement learning by combining fine-grained, step-level evidence rewards with final answer rewards. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CoEM consistently improves long-context reasoning. When evaluated on 6,400 documents long-context input, CoEM outperforms the strongest memory baseline by 10.4-11.4 F1 points on Qwen3.5-9B. Code repository: https://github.com/benmagnifico/CoEM.

长上下文推理对于复杂和长期任务至关重要，但随着上下文长度的增加，大型语言模型（LLMs）的性能会下降。最近的方法通过逐块处理输入，同时在模型上下文中保持有限的文本记忆来解决这一问题。然而，过早的信息压缩可能会丢弃对后续推理至关重要的关键细节。本文介绍了证据记忆（Commit-on-Evidence Memory, CoEM），该方法学习何时将源证据转换为紧凑的记忆事实。具体而言，在固定的上下文-记忆预算下，CoEM 将潜在有用的源摘录逐字保留在待处理集合中，允许后续上下文在不可逆压缩之前澄清其相关性。随着新上下文的到来，学习的策略会重新审视每个待处理摘录，并决定是将其提升为已承诺的记忆、保留以供进一步考虑，还是丢弃。一个冻结的验证器确保只有在保留摘录和当前上下文支持的情况下，提议的事实才会被接受。为了进一步指导有效的记忆管理，我们通过结合细粒度的逐步证据奖励和最终答案奖励，使用强化学习训练这一策略。大量实验表明，CoEM 一直在改善长上下文推理。在对 6,400 个文档的长上下文输入进行评估时，CoEM 在 Qwen3.5-9B 上比最强的记忆基线提高了 10.4-11.4 个 F1 点。代码库： https://github.com/benmagnifico/CoEM。

SCA: Spatial Credit Assignment for Reinforcement Learning of GUI Agents
SCA：用于图形用户界面代理强化学习的空间信用分配
Abstract
GUI agents automate tasks on digital devices by grounding language instructions in visual interfaces. Existing group-relative reinforcement learning improves GUI action prediction by comparing the rewards of multiple responses sampled from the same GUI state. However, binary evaluation treats spatially different failed clicks as identical and provides no relative signal when all sampled clicks fail. To address these limitations, we propose Spatial Credit Assignment (SCA), which uses the screen coordinates of sampled clicks to refine group-relative credit. Specifically, SCA predicts each held-out response's reward from the other responses in groups containing both successes and failures, then uses the prediction residual to adjust credit. When all sampled clicks fail, SCA instead orders them by distance to the annotated target. These spatial references are used only to construct the training update; the deployed policy remains unchanged. We evaluate whether this correction improves the policy update itself by comparing its error and directional alignment with the exact return gradient in a controlled synthetic study. Across GUI grounding and offline action-prediction benchmarks, SCA improves grounding across professional domains and achieves the strongest results among reinforcement-fine-tuned models on most action-prediction metrics, with consistent gains across the reported GUI suites.

Dual-Channel Robust Group-Relative Policy Optimization via Advantage and Sequence-Weight Estimation
基于优势和序列权重估计的双通道鲁棒群体相对策略优化
Abstract
Group-relative policy optimization relies on reward-derived advantages and sequence-level likelihood weights, both of which can be sensitive to localized outliers. Extreme rewards can collapse the contrast among clean responses after group normalization, while token-level log-ratio perturbations can alter sequence weights and clipping decisions. We introduce RoVR-GSPO, a dual-channel robust optimizer that addresses these failure modes separately. Its reward channel combines robust reference estimation with bounded residual credit, while its ratio channel uses differentiable SoftRoVR aggregation to construct robust sequence weights. We provide stability and efficiency analyses for both channels. Experiments on mathematical reasoning, long-context summarization, and tool-call annotation show consistent improvements over GSPO, while controlled perturbation studies demonstrate stronger robustness to reward contamination and token-ratio anomalies.

REALHOP: Rethinking Multi-Hop Reasoning Evaluation via Behavioral Auditing
REALHOP：通过行为审计重新思考多跳推理评估
Abstract
Complex questions often require multi-hop reasoning that connects facts distributed across sources or distant regions of a long context through intermediate steps. Benchmarks commonly evaluate this ability with questions built around predefined reasoning chains, treating a correct answer as evidence that the intended composition was used. Yet answer correctness alone leaves open whether success depends on the evidence associated with each intended step: models may instead rely on memorized associations, shorter paths, or partial evidence. We examine this dependence using the Behavioral Necessity Rate (BNR), which measures how often targeted evidence removal prevents answer recovery on initially correct instances. Across five existing benchmarks, panel-mean BNR ranges from 16.6% to 48.9%, exposing a substantial gap between annotated structure and observed dependence. Guided by this diagnosis, we introduce REALHOP, a diagnose-construct-verify framework that rebinds entities, factorizes selected relations, adds complete competing paths, and places evidence at traceable locations. Structural and semantic checks precede freezing; behavioral interventions follow. On 790 paired MuSiQue questions, REALHOP raises panel-mean BNR from 27.4% to 94.4% while retaining high Full accuracy. It also yields high BNR on REALHOP-FRAMES and REALHOP-LONGBENCH. On 216 long-context questions, the matched multiple-choice spread across 16 models grows from 13.9 to 59.2 points and persists under repeated open-ended evaluation. Together, these results show that a conceptually coherent chain and a correct final answer do not by themselves establish multi-hop reasoning. Verifying that success depends on every intended hop is therefore as fundamental to multi-hop evaluation as measuring answer accuracy itself.

复杂问题通常需要多跳推理，通过中间步骤连接分散在不同来源或长上下文的遥远区域的事实。基准测试通常通过围绕预定义推理链构建的问题来评估这种能力，将正确答案视为使用了预期组合的证据。然而，仅仅依靠答案的正确性并不能确定成功是否依赖于与每个预期步骤相关的证据：模型可能依赖于记忆的关联、较短的路径或部分证据。我们使用行为必要性率（Behavioral Necessity Rate, BNR）来检验这种依赖性，该指标衡量目标证据移除在最初正确实例中阻止答案恢复的频率。在五个现有基准中，面板平均 BNR 范围从 16.6% 到 48.9%，揭示了注释结构与观察到的依赖性之间的显著差距。在这一诊断的指导下，我们引入了 REALHOP，一个诊断-构建-验证框架，它重新绑定实体，因式分解选定关系，添加完整的竞争路径，并将证据放置在可追踪的位置。结构和语义检查在冻结之前进行；行为干预随后进行。在 790 对配对的 MuSiQue 问题上，REALHOP 将面板平均 BNR 从 27.4% 提高到 94.4%，同时保持高的完整准确率。它在 REALHOP-FRAMES 和 REALHOP-LONGBENCH 上也产生了高 BNR。在 216 个长上下文问题上，匹配的多项选择在 16 个模型中从 13.9 增长到 59.2 分，并在重复的开放式评估中持续存在。总的来说，这些结果表明，一个概念上连贯的链条和一个正确的最终答案本身并不能确立多跳推理。因此，验证成功是否依赖于每个预期跳跃对于多跳评估而言，与测量答案准确性同样重要。

CF-LoRA: Decoupled Factor Aggregation and Adaptation-Aware Client Clustering for Federated LoRA Fine-Tuning
CF-LoRA：解耦因子聚合与适应性感知客户端聚类的联邦 LoRA 微调
Abstract
Federated LoRA fine-tuning enables parameter-efficient adaptation of pre-trained models without sharing private data, but suffers from two fundamental mismatches under heterogeneous client data: a structural aggregation mismatch caused by independently averaging LoRA factors, and a statistical collaboration mismatch caused by enforcing a single global adapter across divergent clients. To address these issues, we propose CF-LoRA, a clustered federated LoRA fine-tuning framework that combines decoupled factor aggregation with adaptation-aware client clustering. CF-LoRA first learns a globally shared $A$ factor while retaining personalized $B_i$ factors, then identifies clients with similar adaptation patterns based on the cosine similarity of their learned $B_i$ factors, and finally performs intra-cluster $B$-factor aggregation with a frozen $A$ factor. By decoupling LoRA factor aggregation, CF-LoRA preserves the low-rank structure and mitigates the structural aggregation mismatch, while adaptation-aware clustering promotes collaboration among clients with similar adaptation patterns and reduces negative transfer caused by statistical heterogeneity. Experiments on four language tasks and four vision datasets with RoBERTa and ViT show that CF-LoRA achieves the highest average accuracy in both modalities while communicating only one LoRA factor per optimization round.

ImbalancE: Inference-Time Latent Search Against Degree Imbalance in Link Prediction
ImbalancE：针对链接预测中度数不平衡的推理时潜在搜索
Abstract
Knowledge Graph Embedding models have been extensively used to learn representations of entities and relations in Knowledge Graphs for predicting missing links. However, the quality of the learned representations varies a lot across different areas of the graph. If previous research has loosely linked the problem to relation types or degree bias, we show that it is more widespread and it correlates with the degree imbalance of the entities in test triples. In particular, the prediction of a target entity that has a degree much smaller than the degree of the anchor entity is extremely problematic. This is critical in recommender systems and other use cases, where these triples represent important corner cases. To address this issue, we propose an inference-time latent search optimization method capable of significantly improving model predictions on the most imbalanced triples. Built on top of a pre-trained model, it explores the embedding space at evaluation time, blending known and out-of-band information to mitigate the degree imbalance bias. We show the value of our approach on imbalanced triples from common benchmark datasets, where we outperform conventional methods, opening the door to the successful adoption of Knowledge Graph Embedding models on these critical corner cases.

For a long-horizon agent, context is the bottleneck: the history is resent with every request, the window caps task length, and reasoning degrades as the history grows. Replacing structured objects with compact retrieval Cards shortens the prompt and keeps the exact originals retrievable, but editing the history can break prefix-cache reuse, and prior recoverable methods time their edits by forecasts of future reuse or by preset intervals. We propose CADOC (Cache-Aware Dynamic Object Context), an online algorithm that replaces structured objects with compact Cards while preserving exact, on-demand retrieval of their original contents. CADOC schedules replacements in batches by balancing accumulated waiting cost against shared cache-reconstruction cost. Its scheduling rule follows from an economic order quantity trade-off, recovers the optimal integer batch under stationary assumptions. Across evaluation, CADOC consistently achieves the lowest aggregate input cost among the compared configurations, which reduces input cost by approximately 40\% on average while maintaining task performance close to full context. CADOC thus provides a cost-derived approach to compressible context management, demonstrating that efficient compression depends not only on shortening prompts but also on scheduling edits to preserve cache reuse.

对于长时间跨度的智能体而言，上下文是瓶颈：每次请求都会重新发送历史记录，窗口限制了任务长度，随着历史记录的增长，推理能力下降。用紧凑的检索卡片替代结构化对象可以缩短提示，并保持原始内容的可检索性，但编辑历史记录可能会破坏前缀缓存的重用，而之前的可恢复方法通过预测未来重用或预设时间间隔来安排编辑。我们提出了CADOC（缓存感知动态对象上下文），这是一种在线算法，它在保持原始内容的精确按需检索的同时，用紧凑的卡片替代结构化对象。CADOC通过平衡累计等待成本与共享缓存重建成本，以批量方式安排替换。其调度规则源于经济订货量的权衡，在静态假设下恢复最优整数批次。在评估中，CADOC在比较的配置中始终实现最低的总输入成本，平均降低输入成本约40%，同时保持接近完整上下文的任务性能。因此，CADOC提供了一种基于成本的可压缩上下文管理方法，证明高效压缩不仅依赖于缩短提示，还依赖于调度编辑以保持缓存重用。

Physics-Informed Multi-Agent Coordination for Hospital Patient Flow Optimization
基于物理信息的多智能体协调用于医院患者流动优化
Abstract
Efficient patient flow coordination across autonomous hospital departments is critical for mitigating overcrowding and balancing resource utilization. While classical queueing theory, specifically open Baskett--Chandy--Muntz--Palacios (BCMP) networks, provides an interpretable mathematical topology for healthcare operations, analytical models rely on stationary assumptions and fixed routing matrices that degrade under state-dependent real-world dynamics. Conversely, centralized reinforcement learning approaches struggle to accommodate the decentralized structure of hospital governance, where individual clinical departments function with localized observations, heterogeneous resources, and divergent operational objectives. In this paper, we present a Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) framework titled \emph{Physics-Informed Multi-Agent Coordination}, which embeds empirically calibrated BCMP queueing topologies as physical priors within a decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning architecture. Formulated as a Decentralized Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (Dec-POMDP) under coupled resource constraints, our method enables autonomous departmental agents to cooperatively negotiate patient routing and dynamic service scaling. To mitigate environmental non-stationarity without inducing excessive communication overhead, agents exchange localized action fingerprints along network edges and optimize a spatially decomposed reward structure. Empirical evaluations driven by real-world MIMIC-IV patient trajectories indicate that this cooperative multi-agent approach substantially reduces cumulative system delay compared to static Markovian approximations, heuristic dispatching, and independent multi-agent baselines, while maintaining clinical safety constraints.

在自主医院部门之间高效的患者流动协调对于缓解拥挤和平衡资源利用至关重要。尽管经典排队理论，特别是开放的Baskett--Chandy--Muntz--Palacios (BCMP) 网络，为医疗运营提供了可解释的数学拓扑，但分析模型依赖于静态假设和固定的路由矩阵，这在状态依赖的现实世界动态下会退化。相反，集中式强化学习方法难以适应医院治理的分散结构，其中各个临床部门以局部观察、异质资源和不同的运营目标运作。在本文中，我们提出了一种名为“基于物理信息的多智能体协调”（Physics-Informed Multi-Agent Coordination）的多智能体系统（MAS）框架，该框架将经验校准的BCMP排队拓扑作为物理先验嵌入到分散的多智能体强化学习架构中。我们的研究在耦合资源约束下将其形式化为分散部分可观察马尔可夫决策过程（Decentralized Partially Observable Markov Decision Process，Dec-POMDP），使自主部门代理能够协同协商患者路由和动态服务扩展。为了在不引入过多通信开销的情况下缓解环境的非平稳性，代理在网络边缘交换局部行动指纹，并优化空间分解的奖励结构。基于真实世界MIMIC-IV患者轨迹的实证评估表明，与静态马尔可夫近似、启发式调度和独立多智能体基准相比，这种合作的多智能体方法显著减少了系统的累计延迟，同时保持了临床安全约束。

Language as the Interface: Foundation-Model Contrastive Learning Links Transcriptomes and Electrophysiology
语言作为接口：基础模型对比学习连接转录组与电生理
Abstract
Integrating transcriptomic and electrophysiological data is essential for building multimodal foundation models for neuroscience. Patch-seq provides paired measurements of gene expression and intrinsic electrophysiology from the same neuron, establishing a basis for training cross-modal models. Here we introduce LangPatch, a foundation-model-based contrastive learning framework that uses paired Patch-seq data to align pretrained GenePT representations with electrophysiological phenotypes through a language-based interface. Gene descriptions and verbalized electrophysiological profiles are embedded by the same frozen text encoder. A context adapter and projection modules connect the modalities through paired contrastive learning. Across mouse visual, mouse motor, and human cortical cohorts, LangPatch achieves the highest mean transcriptome-to-electrophysiology prediction correlation among the evaluated foundation-model and representation-learning methods. It also improves held-out cross-modal alignment in the two mouse cohorts (FOSCTTM 0.107/0.135 vs. 0.208/0.222 for JAMIE, an existing cross-modal Patch-seq imputation method). It predicts transcriptomic family, type, cortical layer, and marker-gene expression from electrophysiology, exceeding other baselines on most endpoints. More importantly, the method transfers across brain areas and species: a model trained on mouse visual cortex predicts electrophysiology in motor cortex with approximately 70% correlation retention and in human cortex with 47% (58% on acute-slice recordings). Together, these results demonstrate alignment between molecular and functional representations of neurons, providing a building block for multimodal foundation models in neuroscience.

AnyAct: Universal Action for Self-Evolving Agents
AnyAct：自我演化代理的通用行动
Abstract
As large language models (LLMs) advance, AI agents are increasingly deployed in open-world environments to tackle complex sequential tasks (e.g., document processing, cross-application collaboration), relying heavily on actions ranging from GUI operations to semantic APIs. However, three core challenges persist: the "scale dilemma" of massive tool ecosystems exceeding LLM context windows, the "non-stationarity" of tool quality due to updates or outages, and the "heterogeneity" of feedback formats (pixels, text, structured data) creating information silos. To address these, we propose AnyAct, a universal action layer that unifies available capabilities into a self-evolving action space, enabling agents to operate efficiently and reliably in large-scale, dynamic tool ecosystems. AnyAct's core design focuses on two objectives: constructing this action space via hierarchical progressive retrieval (filtering task-relevant actions) and test-time reliability evolution (pruning unreliable actions), and enabling reliability-aware action orchestration through a heterogeneous observation grounding module that unifies multi-modal feedback. Additionally, it defines a hybrid action space (primitive + semantic actions) and optimizes for a balance between task success rate and execution cost. Evaluations on LiveMCPBench and OSMCP (a new benchmark we developed for multi-granularity action collaboration) demonstrate state-of-the-art performance. AnyAct delivers substantial performance gains over baseline methods across various LLM base models on LiveMCPBench and improvements are particularly notable for models with constrained native capabilities. On OSMCP, it achieves 77.27% overall success with only 50 steps, which is half the steps required by most competitors.

Beyond Low-Rank Parameterization: Narrowing the Gap Between LoRA and Full Fine-Tuning via Gradient Decomposition
超越低秩参数化：通过梯度分解缩小 LoRA 与全量微调之间的差距
Abstract
Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is a widely used approach to parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), yet a performance gap can remain relative to full fine-tuning (FFT). Many LoRA variants improve the initialization or optimization of low-rank factors. At each training step, however, their first-order weight-space directions are constrained by the current parameterization. We characterize the corresponding LoRA-accessible gradient space and show that it coincides with the tangent space induced by the current LoRA parameterization. This characterization yields an orthogonal decomposition of the full weight gradient at the current model parameters. We term the component orthogonal to this space the normal gradient. Based on this decomposition, we propose GDLoRA (Gradient-Decomposed Low-Rank Adaptation). GDLoRA reconstructs the full weight gradient from forward activations and backward signals, extracts its normal component, and directly updates the base weights with this component, while retaining standard AdamW optimization for the LoRA factors. GDLoRA incorporates complementary normal gradients without increasing standard LoRA's optimizer-state memory budget under matched adapter and optimizer configurations. Experiments on natural language understanding, mathematical reasoning, commonsense reasoning, and image classification show that GDLoRA consistently improves over LoRA and narrows the performance gap to FFT. The code is available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/GDLoRA.

低秩适应（Low-Rank Adaptation, LoRA）是一种广泛使用的参数高效微调（Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning, PEFT）方法，但相较于全量微调（Full Fine-Tuning, FFT），仍可能存在性能差距。许多 LoRA 变体改善了低秩因子的初始化或优化。然而，在每个训练步骤中，它们的一阶权重空间方向受到当前参数化的限制。我们对相应的 LoRA 可达梯度空间进行了表征，并表明它与当前 LoRA 参数化所引发的切空间相吻合。这种表征产生了当前模型参数下的完整权重梯度的正交分解。我们将与该空间正交的分量称为法向梯度。基于这一分解，我们提出了 GDLoRA（梯度分解低秩适应）。GDLoRA 从前向激活和反向信号中重构完整的权重梯度，提取其法向分量，并直接用该分量更新基础权重，同时保留标准的 AdamW 优化用于 LoRA 因子。在匹配适配器和优化器配置下，GDLoRA 在不增加标准 LoRA 的优化器状态内存预算的情况下，结合了互补的法向梯度。在自然语言理解、数学推理、常识推理和图像分类的实验中，GDLoRA 一致地优于 LoRA，并缩小了与 FFT 的性能差距。代码可在 https://anonymous.4open.science/r/GDLoRA 获取。

FedLAFP: Low-Rank Aggregation Meets Full-Rank Personalization in Federated Fine-Tuning
FedLAFP：低秩聚合与全秩个性化在联邦微调中的结合
Abstract
Federated parameter-efficient fine-tuning enables clients to adapt pre-trained models without sharing raw data or communicating the full model, but statistical heterogeneity makes a single global adapter insufficient for personalized prediction. Existing personalized methods typically use the same low-rank structure for both shared and private adaptation, overlooking their distinct requirements for aggregation and personalization. We propose FedLAFP, a role-aware framework that couples a compact, globally aggregated LoRA branch with a client-private, full-rank-capable RandLoRA branch. The shared branch provides an efficient interface for transferring common knowledge, whereas the private branch combines fixed random low-rank bases with learned scaling coefficients to provide expressive client-specific adaptation without additional communication. Client- and layer-specific mixing coefficients jointly fuse the two branches, and only the shared LoRA parameters are exchanged. A controlled linear study supports this role assignment: LoRA yields more aligned client updates and lower aggregation error, while RandLoRA more accurately recovers client-specific residuals. Experiments across four visual recognition benchmarks show that FedLAFP consistently outperforms local-only and federated LoRA baselines, achieving an average personalized accuracy of $86.93\%$ and exceeding the best baseline average by $1.30$ percentage points.

Watch-Think-Interact: Bootstrapping Long-Horizon Multi-Turn Streaming Video Reasoning with Reinforcement Learning
观察-思考-互动：利用强化学习引导长时间多轮流媒体视频推理
Abstract
Streaming video assistance requires models to answer asynchronous questions from an observed prefix under a fixed context budget. Existing approaches model response timing or compress history, but an online state formed before future questions are known can omit visual details before later questions reveal their relevance; the retained state alone cannot recover them. We introduce Watch-Think-Interact (WTI), a closed-loop framework for multi-question streaming video reasoning. WTI maintains compact natural-language memory entries tagged with source-video time ranges; these entries support direct reasoning when sufficient and otherwise anchor selective recall of finer visual evidence. For each question, WTI answers when current context and memory suffice, continues watching when required evidence has not appeared, or recalls a relevant past interval and decides again after incorporating the returned chunks, without replaying the full observed history. To train this behavior, we construct WTI-82K, comprising 82,335 timed questions across 4,812 causally aligned trajectories, and develop Stream-GDPO to optimize complete multi-question streaming rollouts using trajectory-level feedback for response timing, source-video recall, and memory updates. WTI achieves state-of-the-art aggregate performance among the compared open-source streaming baselines, reaching 83.3% on StreamingBench and 73.6% weighted overall accuracy on OVO-Bench.

MatToolBench: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents in Real-World Materials Science Workflows
MatToolBench：在真实材料科学工作流程中评估多模态智能体的基准测试
Abstract
Multimodal GUI agents have achieved impressive results on general software benchmarks, yet their ability to operate professional scientific software remains largely unexplored. In materials science, sparse domain-specific web data, specialized interfaces, and tacit workflow conventions create blind spots that general-purpose pretraining cannot readily bridge. We present MatToolBench, the first real-environment benchmark for evaluating multimodal GUI agents on professional materials science software, comprising 204 tasks across 10 tools in three modalities: GUI operation, OriginPro scripting, and code-based database queries, all executed inside a Windows 11 VM. Each task is decomposed into fine-grained sub-criteria by domain experts, enabling interpretable partial-credit scoring; the GUI component of our multi-level evaluation pipeline achieves an average F1 of 0.98. For OriginPro figure-generation tasks, we further conduct a human-LLM agreement study to validate the use of a multimodal judge for secondary aesthetic assessment. Our experiments show that strong performance on general benchmarks does not transfer to professional scientific workflows, and that this gap is not a visual-grounding problem alone: failures arise from domain-specific operational knowledge, sparse pretraining coverage of scientific software, weak cross-tool artifact handoff, and critical states exposed only visually. Even the best model reaches only 25% success rate on GUI tasks and 45% on code tasks. MatToolBench therefore serves as a challenging diagnostic benchmark and real-environment testbed for data-scarce, knowledge-intensive scientific workflows.

actr: aligning thoughts and responses for multilingual safety in reasoning llms
ACTR：为多语言推理大型语言模型对齐思维与响应的安全性
Abstract
Ensuring the safety of reasoning large language models (LLMs) across languages is essential for their reliable deployment. However, when exposed to jailbreak attacks in non-high-resource languages, these models may generate unsafe responses even when their reasoning traces identify safety risks. To address this issue, we propose aligning cross-lingual thoughts and responses (ACTR), a framework that improves multilingual safety alignment by strengthening the use of existing safety reasoning. Specifically, we first present the think gap score (TGS) to compare the normalized contributions of reasoning traces to attention outputs during response generation across languages, and use reasoning- trace substitution to measure the cross-lingual safety gap. Next, using a corpus of jailbreak queries, we assess neuron importance through changes in response representations caused by neuron masking and compare the high-importance neuron sets obtained with reasoning enabled and disabled to identify safety think neurons that support the use of safety reasoning. Finally, we devise neuron-selective consistency optimization (NSCO), which uses a frozen judge model to reward agreement between the safety categories of reasoning traces and responses while updating only the parameters associated with the selected neurons, requiring no human-annotated responses or preference data. Across two reasoning models, ACTR achieves lower average attack success rates than the evaluated state-of-the-art methods on AdvBench-X and MultiJail, with safety gains extending to unseen languages, while preserving or improving average performance on multilingual knowledge and mathematical reasoning tasks and limiting false refusals of benign requests. Warning: this paper contains examples with unsafe content.

Breaking the Illusion of Review Reliability under Static Evaluation: SCOPE Fuzzing for LLM-based Scientific Reviewers
打破静态评估下审稿可靠性的幻觉：基于大语言模型的科学审稿者的 SCOPE 模糊测试
Abstract
The rapid growth of submissions and reviewing workload has accelerated the use of large language models (LLMs) in peer review. Prior studies suggest that LLM-based reviewers can penalize content perturbations, such as overclaiming, indicating a certain degree of reliability. Yet these conclusions are largely based on a narrow set of perturbation strategies instantiated with static templates, providing limited evidence of actual reliability. In this paper, we construct a three-level evaluation framework covering perturbations to surface presentation, argumentative logic, and value judgment. Experiments on representative LLM-based reviewers reveal two limitations of static evaluation: stratified vulnerability, where perturbation effects depend on whether the paper's original review score is high or low, and perturbation undercoverage, where a single template misses vulnerabilities exposed by diverse realizations. To address these limitations, we propose SCOPE-Fuzzer, a strategy-aware fuzzer that combines feedback-driven strategy selection with adaptive mutation of paper content. By iteratively probing reviewers with dynamic perturbations, SCOPE-Fuzzer consistently uncovers vulnerabilities overlooked by static evaluation and other baselines.

Learning from Viable Failure Prefixes: Milestone Viability Potential Policy Optimization for Long-Horizon LLM Agents
从可行失败前缀中学习：长时间跨度LLM代理的里程碑可行性潜力政策优化
Abstract
Long-horizon LLM agents require reinforcement learning methods that can assign credit to intermediate decisions under sparse and delayed rewards. Existing group-based methods such as GRPO and GiGPO alleviate this issue by comparing rollout returns or repeated anchor states, but they still fail when the compared returns have no variation. We identify this failure mode as zero-credit failure: during early training, many failed rollouts contain useful prefixes, yet existing methods assign them no task-discriminative advantage. To address this issue, we propose Milestone Viability Potential Policy Optimization (MVPO), a potential-routed policy optimization algorithm that learns from viable failure prefixes. MVPO estimates prefix potential over Union-Find viability regions, repairs zero-credit groups with potential-difference advantages, and attenuates the potential branch according to relative performance progress. Experiments with Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct show that MVPO outperforms eight strong baselines, including GRPO and GiGPO. Under the same training length, MVPO improves over the GiGPO baseline by +4.4 success points on ALFWorld and +5.3 on WebShop, while adding only 0.16%-0.20% advantage-construction overhead.

When Should Agents Check External State? Budgeting Observations for Stored Intentions
代理何时应检查外部状态？存储意图的预算观察
Abstract
Prospective memory allows an agent to retain an intention tied to a future condition, but the stored intention does not reveal whether that condition currently holds. Checking it may require web access, multi-step tool use, and paid calls. Existing systems decide when intentions require attention, but do not allocate the resulting observations under a shared budget. We introduce the first resource-allocation formulation for the external observations required by stored intentions under a shared episode budget. BudgetPM offers two policy variants that share a hard-budget executor. BudgetPM-Static uses a lightweight Logistic scorer to learn whether a check improves the current decision. BudgetPM-Sequential distills full-episode hindsight schedules into a lightweight policy that decides when to spend or reserve capacity using only pre-query information at deployment. We evaluate BudgetPM against two public memory-agent systems, five matched controls, and four hand-designed monitoring or budget-adaptation rules. Across two benchmarks and three backbones, BudgetPM-Static outperforms adapted Mem0 and PMA workflows. On PM-Bench, its Logistic scorer reaches competitive quality--cost operating points alongside higher-capacity scorers and retains 99.9--100\% of unconstrained quality with 42--54\% fewer observations. Under severe scarcity and the same hard caps, BudgetPM-Sequential exceeds the strongest tested natural monitoring schedule by 1.92--2.58 Set F1 points. It reaches the same Set F1 and on-time recall with 16--33\% fewer observations. Matched attribution, exact-cost analysis, and a fixed-budget load intervention link this gain to competition between present and future opportunities.

前瞻性记忆使代理能够保留与未来条件相关的意图，但存储的意图并不能揭示该条件当前是否成立。检查这一条件可能需要网络访问、多步骤工具使用和付费调用。现有系统决定何时需要关注意图，但并未在共享预算下分配相应的观察。我们提出了首个资源分配模型，用于在共享事件预算下为存储意图所需的外部观察进行分配。BudgetPM提供了两种政策变体，均共享一个硬预算执行器。BudgetPM-Static使用轻量级逻辑回归评分器来学习检查是否改善当前决策。BudgetPM-Sequential将完整事件的事后安排提炼为轻量级政策，仅使用部署时的预查询信息来决定何时花费或保留能力。我们将BudgetPM与两个公共记忆代理系统、五个匹配对照组以及四个手工设计的监控或预算调整规则进行了评估。在两个基准测试和三个基础模型中，BudgetPM-Static的表现优于调整后的Mem0和PMA工作流。在PM-Bench上，其逻辑回归评分器达到了与更高容量评分器相媲美的质量-成本操作点，并在观察数量减少42-54%的情况下保持了99.9-100%的无约束质量。在严重稀缺和相同硬性上限下，BudgetPM-Sequential的表现超过了测试过的最强自然监控安排，提升了1.92-2.58个Set F1点。它在观察数量减少16-33%的情况下达到了相同的Set F1和按时召回。匹配归因、精确成本分析和固定预算负载干预将这一收益与当前机会和未来机会之间的竞争联系起来。这些结果得出了一个需求-能力设计规则：当能力覆盖需求时，本地门控有效，而未来感知监督在观察跨时间竞争时增加了价值。

SkillCome: Group Contrast Skill Optimization with Dual Memory
SkillCome：基于双重记忆的群体对比技能优化
Abstract
Skill evolution improves the capabilities of large language models by analyzing trajectories generated under a given skill and modifying the skill accordingly. Existing approaches typically generate a single trajectory per question. However, this provides insufficient optimization signals since it requires inferring effective skill edits from a solitary path. It is difficult to pinpoint which actions caused the failure in a failed trajectory, or to determine which actions in a successful one should be incorporated into the skill. Furthermore, they rely on a local batch of trajectories for analysis, making the optimization direction susceptible to noisy evidence. To address these, we propose SkillCome, a Skill-evolution method based on group Contrast optimization with dual memory. For each question, SkillCome generates trajectories and performs group contrast analysis to precisely identify key behavioral divergences between successful and failed trajectories, offering reliable optimization signals. The dual memory system further accumulates evidence from historical steps to track patterns shared across different groups, leading to more generalized optimization directions. Together, SkillCome builds a systematic optimization process that transforms experience from observed successful trajectories into reusable skills. Extensive experiments on six benchmarks spanning question answering, reasoning, and agentic tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. SkillCome consistently outperforms baselines across five models of varying families and scales, with gains up to +5.69 points.

技能演化通过分析在给定技能下生成的轨迹并相应地修改技能，提高了大型语言模型的能力。现有方法通常为每个问题生成单一轨迹。然而，这提供的优化信号不足，因为它需要从单一路径推断有效的技能编辑。很难确定在失败轨迹中哪些动作导致了失败，或者在成功轨迹中哪些动作应被纳入技能。此外，它们依赖于局部轨迹批次进行分析，使得优化方向容易受到噪声证据的影响。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了SkillCome，一种基于群体对比优化和双重记忆的技能演化方法。对于每个问题，SkillCome生成轨迹并进行群体对比分析，以精确识别成功轨迹与失败轨迹之间的关键行为差异，从而提供可靠的优化信号。双重记忆系统进一步积累来自历史步骤的证据，以追踪不同群体之间共享的模式，从而导致更为通用的优化方向。总的来说，SkillCome构建了一个系统的优化过程，将观察到的成功轨迹中的经验转化为可重用的技能。在涵盖问题回答、推理和代理任务的六个基准上进行的大量实验表明了我们方法的有效性。SkillCome在五种不同家族和规模的模型上始终优于基线，增益高达+5.69分。

Train Ahead, Distill Back: Bootstrapping On-Policy Self-Distillation for Large Language Models
提前训练，反向蒸馏：为大型语言模型引导在线自蒸馏
Abstract
On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) improves large language models by letting a self-teacher with privileged information provide dense token-level supervision on the model's own trajectories. Yet existing methods typically construct the self-teacher from the current, initial, or slowly averaged policy state, leaving the quality of supervision constrained by the teacher's ability to exploit privileged information. We ask whether the model's own optimization progress can instead be recycled into a stronger self-teacher. In this paper, we introduce Bootstrapped On-Policy Self-Distillation (B-OPSD), which temporarily trains the policy ahead to obtain a future teacher, restores the student to the original policy state, and then uses the future teacher to supervise the restarted student. The future teacher improves supervision in two complementary ways, it can generate more reliable privileged trajectories and, conditioned on them, provide more informative token-level targets along the restarted student's on-policy trajectories. Experiments on mathematical reasoning with Qwen3-4B and Qwen3-8B show consistent improvements over standard OPSD in both settings, including gains from 27.50 to 41.30 and from 48.80 to 64.44 in the rollout-privileged setting. Our findings point to a broader principle for self-improving models that future learning progress can be distilled backward, preserving acquired knowledge while bootstrapping beyond the optimization state that produced it.

From Judgment Quality to Downstream Utility: Rethinking LLM-as-a-Judge for Open-Ended Tasks
从判断质量到下游效用：重新思考 LLM 作为评判者在开放式任务中的应用
Abstract
LLM-as-a-Judge is increasingly used to evaluate policy responses on open-ended tasks that lack ground-truth answers. Existing work often directly converts the resulting judgments into reward signals for policy training, paying limited attention to intrinsic judgment quality and largely restricting the use of Judges to training-time supervision. We systematically investigate judgment quality and downstream utility by examining both how judgments are elicited and how they are used. For judgment elicitation, we vary the Judge protocol along three dimensions: verdict granularity, critique usage, and evaluation batching. For judgment usage, beyond policy training, we extend Judge to test-time inference through Best-of-N selection, Judge-guided revision, and beam search. We find that, (i) Surprisingly, judgment quality and downstream utility do not always align. (ii) Judge protocol design substantially affects both intrinsic judgment quality and downstream utility. (iii) Judge guidance effectively converts test-time compute into performance gains, with benefits varying across inference strategies. Our results call for a multifaceted evaluation of LLM Judges on open-ended tasks, encompassing intrinsic judgment quality, and downstream utility.

When Tools Silently Lie: Evaluating and Mitigating Blind Compliance in Tool-Augmented Data Agents
当工具默默地撒谎：评估和减轻工具增强数据代理中的盲目遵从
Abstract
Tool-augmented data agents rely on tool outputs for analytical decisions. Yet successful execution can return plausible but incorrect evidence, requiring agents to decide whether to trust or verify it. Understanding this failure requires examining both the evidence obtained through checking and the answer ultimately adopted. We introduce ToxicBench to measure checking and adoption under numerical, label, schema, and retrieval errors, pairing clean and poisoned observations over fixed source data. In the 118-task GPT evaluation across three adapters, poisoning lowers task success by 26 to 39 percentage points. Ordinary retries help under one-shot poisoning, whereas repeated poisoning reveals wrong-answer adoption after checking. Controls on three public tables isolate how supplied evidence affects recovery. After freezing the scorer, we compare its judgments with human annotations on 200 trajectories, finding 96% task-success agreement. Human judgments support retry gains over Base and confirm adoption after checking on audited tasks. We release trajectories, versioned scoring, and reference and delivery audits. These findings highlight evidence availability and answer selection as complementary dimensions of agent reliability.

From Learner Behavior to Reusable Skills for Effective and Efficient Learner Simulation
从学习者行为到可重用技能：有效与高效的学习者模拟
Abstract
Learner simulation aims to reproduce how a particular learner behaves on new tasks. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate increasingly fine-grained learning behaviors, existing approaches often need to repeatedly process a growing interaction history to reconstruct the learner. This introduces additional context and inference costs and makes the acquired learner-specific simulation capability difficult to reuse across different LLMs. We therefore propose Learner2Skill, which externalizes the simulation capability acquired from historical interactions into a persistent and reusable Simulation Skill. The Skill captures the learner's current learning state and recurring response patterns, evolves as new real interactions arrive, and can be adapted to a new LLM through lightweight executor calibration without reconstructing the learner from scratch. Experiments show that Learner2Skill more faithfully reproduces fine-grained learner behavior while reducing overall token cost, and that the same constructed Skills can be effectively reused across different LLM executors.

SimpleEvol: An Agent-Loop Framework for LLM-Driven Automated Heuristic Design with Minimal Human Priors
SimpleEvol：一种基于代理循环的框架，用于以最小人类先验驱动的大型语言模型（LLM）自动启发式设计
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for automated heuristic design (AHD), enabling iterative generation and refinement of heuristics. However, the dominant paradigm embeds LLMs as narrow, fixed components, such as crossover or mutation, within heavily hand-engineered evolutionary frameworks. We argue this misapprehends LLMs. It treats them as specialized tools rather than general reasoners, constrains them to low-level operations, and underutilizes their autonomy. Moreover, the extensive human priors in these frameworks violate the bitter lesson principle that general methods scaling with computation surpass hand-crafted solutions. This raises a key question: which AHD framework designs best convert stronger LLM capabilities into better heuristics? To address this, we propose metrics for LLM-driven AHD framework handcraftedness (AHI) and intelligence conversion efficiency (ICE). Evaluating ten LLMs across three challenging combinatorial optimization problems, we obtain a notable finding that frameworks with fewer human priors consistently yield higher ICE. Based on this finding, we propose SimpleEvol, an agent-loop framework for AHD which removes nearly all human priors and allows the LLM to operate autonomously. SimpleEvol consistently achieves the highest ICE, often by a large margin. Our results challenge the trend toward complex AHD pipelines and point to a lighter and more model-centric alternative, suggesting that reducing human priors is a more effective strategy to scale up with model intelligence.

Absorbed in Inertia: Activation Analysis for Computer-Use Agents
沉浸于惯性：计算机使用代理的激活分析
Abstract
Computer-use agents have become increasingly capable of executing tasks on live desktops through natural-language instructions, based on trajectories of screenshots, actions, and reasoning. We discover that they can stealthily exhibit inertia, in which they repeat fruitless actions despite recognizing that these actions are ineffective. We hypothesize that inertia is reflected in the agent's internal state, i.e., the activation values of the agent's underlying model, and propose a protocol to measure the relationship between the two. Extensive analysis of high-dimensional activation states shows that inertia corresponds to an absorbing region of activation space, where activation values become stale across actions and even after attempts to steer them. We conjecture that drastically changing the agents' activations by re-initializing them is necessary to escape inertia. Specifically, we propose R$^3$ (Reset, Reroute, Restore), which temporarily resets the agent's context trajectory to escape the absorbing region and then restores the historical context to effectively complete the task. Our approach yields 17-55% lower measured inertia across models relative to unmodified agents. These results suggest that changing the context can interrupt recurrence more effectively than directly steering the resulting activations.

Accelerated surrogate dynamics for dynamical, stochastic system evolution
动态随机系统演化的加速代理动态
Abstract
Dynamic simulations are an entrenched way of gaining insight into the evolution of system dynamics. Their computational cost however is often prohibitively high, especially in cases of stochastic frameworks. Machine learning algorithms are especially suited as simulation surrogates. Nevertheless, they face some very distinct limitations. Firstly, the sheer dimensionality of these systems, however, precludes the use of traditional time series models who struggle with high dimensional feature spaces. Additionally, traditional time series focus exclusively on either long or short range effects, causing local or global drift given enough time. In this paper, we propose a framework that addresses those limitations. Our framework combines a Variational Autoencoder, with a convolutional or graph basis that reduces the dimensionality of the system. This latent vector is propagated in time using a Temporal Fusion Transformer model, which includes both long range and short range effect encoding, as well as static covariate support. We test our framework on three distinct cases, to prove its robustness and in all three we have achieved practically identical to the simulation results at a fraction of the time. Further, our framework is flexible enough to be adapted to any new system and provides an inbuilt uncertainty quantification for targeted experiment design.

V-Engram: Trigger-Indexed External Memory for Modular Text-to-Image Personalization
V-Engram：用于模块化文本到图像个性化的触发器索引外部记忆
Abstract
Pretrained text-to-image models contain broad visual knowledge, yet they cannot reliably acquire or refine a specific visual identity from only a few references while preserving compositional control. Token-embedding methods are compact but often underfit identity, whereas adapter-based methods improve fidelity through persistent weight updates that can be costly to store and interfere when concepts are composed. We introduce V-Engram, a trigger-indexed external memory mechanism for Stable Diffusion 3.5. Each concept is assigned an explicit trigger that retrieves concept-specific memory, whose gated directions enter frozen text-encoder and MMDiT context states as relative residuals. Separating this memory from backbone adaptation enables prompt-selective and multi-concept access without merging model updates. Experiments show that V-Engram broadly matches DreamBooth-LoRA in overall subject fidelity while showing advantages in settings such as contextual subject preservation. Prompt-matched loading retrieves only matched entries, reducing most additional adaptation-state loading for a single-concept query. Qualitative results further demonstrate paired-trigger composition and same-class separation, while prompts without registered entries retain the frozen model's base behavior. Together, these results establish trigger-indexed memory as a modular interface for adding targeted visual evidence without rewriting the generator.

Learning to Prove, Not Just to Answer: Reinforcement Learning from Formal Verification for Natural-Language Logical Reasoning
学习证明，而不仅仅是回答：基于形式验证的强化学习用于自然语言逻辑推理
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for natural-language logical reasoning, where the final answer is easy to check but the proof behind it is not. In natural-language logical reasoning, an intermediate conclusion should follow from its premises, and the resulting derivation should support the final answer. Existing methods lack machine-checkable verification of intermediate conclusions and answer-supporting proof dependencies, so they may assign credit to invalid or answer-irrelevant steps. We propose Proof-R1, an RL framework from formal verification that trains LLMs to construct verifiable proofs for natural-language logical reasoning. Proof-R1 admits a generated conclusion into the verified proof state only when the corresponding reasoning action satisfies the proof obligations through UNSAT-based machine-checkable formal verification. Proof-R1 also recovers the answer-supporting dependency closure to trace the proof structure of the final answer and align outcome credit with the proof dependencies. Experiments demonstrate that Proof-R1 improves answer accuracy across three logical reasoning benchmarks and four backbone models and outperforms training-free agents and training-based methods in terms of reasoning-process verifiability.

Information Bottleneck-Guided Adaptive Hypergraph Transformer for Brain Disease Diagnosis
信息瓶颈引导的自适应超图变换器用于脑疾病诊断
Abstract
Exploring high-order correlations and long-range dependencies in brain networks holds significant value for both neuroscience research and clinical diagnosis. However, previous studies have lacked a unified integration of high-order and long-range dependency information in brain networks, and there is substantial redundancy behind various types of information. These issues limit their effectiveness in the diagnosis of brain diseases. To address this, we propose an Information Bottleneck-Guided Adaptive HyperGraph Transformer (IBAHGT). By incorporating the information bottleneck (IB) principle, this approach enables adaptive learning of high-order correlations and both short- and long-range dependencies within a unified framework for brain network analysis, achieving high-precision brain disease diagnosis. IBAHGT consists of three key components: an information bottleneck-guided adaptive hypergraph convolution, which introduces a novel hypergraph information bottleneck (HIB) principle to adaptively learn hypergraph message-passing weights between nodes and hyperedges, optimizes information flow and captures high-order information in brain networks that is maximally informative and minimally redundant (MIMR). The Transformer encoder captures global information within brain networks through the attention mechanism, specifically modeling short- and long-range dependencies. An information bottleneck-guided node-level adaptive fusion employs the IB principle to learn independent weights for each node, facilitating the fine-grained integration of high-order information and global information to obtain an efficient representation for downstream tasks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms current state-of-the-art methods and can identify biomarkers for clinical applications.

OptiCom : A Unified Framework for State-Conditioned Composition in LLM-Driven Optimization
OptiCom：一种用于状态条件组合的统一框架在基于大语言模型的优化中
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed to solve complex scientific and practical problems via iterative optimization. However, dynamically coordinating diverse search mechanisms as candidate quality, failure modes, and resource budgets evolve remains a critical open challenge. Targeted empirical diagnostics reveal that mechanism effectiveness is highly state-dependent. Motivated by this, we analyze how individual decisions drive final outcomes, decomposing the expected terminal improvement under a shared budget into cumulative decision opportunities minus cumulative selection losses. Guided by this opportunity-loss theoretical foundation, we propose OptiCom, a unified framework that represents LLM-driven optimizers within a shared configuration space: C=(A,Q,O,E,M,S), corresponding to artifact, query, operator, evaluation, memory, and strategy. Operating within this space, a fast LLM-based Optimization Controller dynamically composes immediate mechanisms through structured Action Packages, while a slower Strategy Adapter refines long-term selection preferences, operator weights, and templates based on accumulated trajectory feedback. Comprehensive evaluations across 32 benchmark groups demonstrate the superiority of framework: OptiCom achieves an average Max-score rank of 1.72 among 14 evaluated configurations, securing the top score in 23 groups. Ultimately, these results highlight the broad applicability and high extensibility of OptiCom as a general-purpose paradigm for robust LLM test-time scaling.

Asking for What Was Never Requested: Horizontal and Vertical Proactivity in Agents
请求未曾请求的内容：代理的横向和纵向主动性
Abstract
An agent that uses tools typically responds to what the user explicitly asks, yet completing the task may require information the user never requested. Work on proactive agents mainly studies whether and when an agent should act on its own, not what information it should pursue. We study a distinct axis of proactivity: its content. Horizontal proactivity pursues unstated information that the current context already identifies, and vertical proactivity pursues needs that only earlier evidence reveals. A need graph, recovered from a benchmark's own decomposition, records which needs depend on which, so both forms, and whether the agent stops at the right time, can be scored from a transcript without a model judge. To learn this behavior, we propose Q&D (questioner and drafter), which trains a questioner to prefer the question whose continuation retrieves more of the required evidence, with no reward model or judge. On held-out splits of three multi-hop question-answering benchmarks, at equal retrieval spend, the trained questioner improves both forms of proactivity over the same model, prompted, and outperforms a prompted model $15\times$ larger in the same role on two of the three, and the gain persists after controlling for question volume and length. Without further training, we place the questioner in an interactive customer-service agent with a simulated customer, where it completes more tasks while asking fewer questions, and in retail it outperforms the $15\times$ larger model with fewer follow-up turns from the customer.

使用工具的代理通常会响应用户明确要求的内容，但完成任务可能需要用户未曾请求的信息。关于主动代理的研究主要关注代理何时以及是否应自主行动，而不是应追求何种信息。我们研究了主动性的一个不同维度：其内容。横向主动性追求当前上下文已识别的未表述信息，而纵向主动性则追求仅通过早期证据揭示的需求。需求图（need graph）从基准的自身分解中恢复，记录哪些需求依赖于哪些，因此可以从转录中对这两种形式进行评分，而无需模型评估者。为了学习这种行为，我们提出了Q&D（提问者和起草者），该模型训练提问者优先选择能够检索更多所需证据的提问，而不依赖奖励模型或评估者。在三个多跳问答基准的保留拆分中，在相同的检索支出下，经过训练的提问者在两种主动性形式上均优于相同模型的提示版本，并在三个基准中的两个上超越了同角色的$15 imes$更大模型，且在控制问题数量和长度后，增益依然存在。在没有进一步训练的情况下，我们将提问者置于一个与模拟客户的互动客户服务代理中，在此情况下，它在提出更少问题的同时完成了更多任务，并且在零售中，它在客户的后续互动中表现优于$15 imes$更大的模型。这些结果表明，主动性不仅取决于代理是否在未被请求的情况下行动，还取决于它选择追求什么以及何时停止。

Foundations of Proactive Agents: Principles, Technical Layers, and Proactivity-Gym
主动代理的基础：原则、技术层次与主动性训练场
Abstract
Proactive LLM agents can turn idle compute into useful support before users ask. Yet even correct work can misread user context, impose review costs, or undermine trust. This work proposes foundations for designing, realizing, and evaluating proactive LLM agents around three joint principles (3T): Task Capability, anticipating relevant needs and correctly performing useful work; Temporal Allocation, allocating compute according to resource availability and when results are needed; and Trust, sustaining users' confidence and appropriate reliance on the agent. We connect these objectives to a design space organized around five dimensions: task scope, anticipation horizon, activation trigger, processing timing, and intervention depth, and specify the situation and system modeling needed to support its choices, including user and environment representations, backbone LLMs, and agent harnesses. Lastly, we propose PROACTIVITY-GYM, a simulation-based evaluation testbed including multi-day scenarios, stateful environments, and persona-conditioned simulated users that can evaluate the consequences of proactive assistance across interactions. Evaluations across 23 model-harness configurations uncover substantial performance gaps across 3T and reveal that LLM judges often conflate task capability and trust. A human study with 30 participants demonstrates the importance of the joint 3T optimization: participants show sharp trust declines after intervention misalignment despite correct outcomes, and prefer sleep-time assistance, even when imperfect, to preserve ongoing focus. Together, these findings support designing and evaluating proactive agents through the joint consideration of useful work, compute allocation, and evolving user trust.

主动的大型语言模型（LLM）代理能够在用户提出请求之前，将闲置的计算资源转化为有用的支持。然而，即使是正确的工作也可能误解用户的上下文，增加审查成本或削弱信任。本文提出了设计、实现和评估主动LLM代理的基础，围绕三个共同原则（3T）：任务能力（Task Capability），即预见相关需求并正确执行有用工作；时间分配（Temporal Allocation），根据资源可用性和结果需求的时间分配计算资源；以及信任（Trust），维持用户的信心和对代理的适当依赖。我们将这些目标与围绕五个维度组织的设计空间相连接：任务范围、预见视野、激活触发、处理时机和干预深度，并具体说明支持其选择所需的情境和系统建模，包括用户和环境的表示、基础LLM和代理的框架。最后，我们提出了主动性训练场（PROACTIVITY-GYM），这是一个基于模拟的评估测试平台，包括多天场景、有状态环境和基于角色的模拟用户，能够评估主动帮助在交互中的后果。在23种模型-框架配置的评估中，发现3T之间存在显著的性能差距，并揭示LLM评判者常常将任务能力与信任混淆。一项包含30名参与者的人类研究表明，联合优化3T的重要性：尽管结果正确，参与者在干预不一致后表现出明显的信任下降，并更倾向于选择睡眠时间的帮助，即使不完美，也希望保持持续的专注。综上所述，这些发现支持通过共同考虑有用工作、计算分配和不断发展的用户信任来设计和评估主动代理。

Task-Relevant Null-Space Residuals for Non-Injective Neural Mappings
与任务相关的零空间残差用于非单射神经映射
Abstract
Non-injective mappings in neural networks map distinct inputs to the same representation, thereby implicitly inducing equivalence relations in the input space. However, the input differences eliminated by these mappings may still be required by downstream tasks, creating a mismatch between operator-induced indistinguishability and task-required distinctions. For non-injective linear operators realized in the current forward pass, their null spaces exactly characterize these invisible input variations. We propose Task-Relevant Null-Space Residuals (NSR), a general residual framework for non-injective linear mappings. NSR combines null-space component extraction from pre-mapping representations, member-level encoding and gating, and application-specific integration to exploit potentially task-relevant information under downstream supervision while preserving the original aggregation or merging rules. We evaluate NSR in two structurally different settings: token merging and graph aggregation. In token merging, NSR achieves higher semantic segmentation performance than the corresponding compressed baselines in 34 out of 36 evaluated configurations, with a maximum observed gain of 31.51 mIoU points under strong compression. In graph aggregation, NSR achieves 100% training accuracy on Tree-NeighborsMatch at depths d=2--6 across three backbones, alongside gains on heterophilic node classification and molecular graph regression. Together, these results support null-space residuals as a practical complement to non-injective linear mappings, enabling downstream models to learn from input distinctions invisible in the original operator's output.

非单射映射在神经网络中将不同的输入映射到相同的表示，从而在输入空间中隐式地引入了等价关系。然而，这些映射所消除的输入差异可能仍然是下游任务所需的，导致操作符引起的不可区分性与任务所需的区分之间的不匹配。对于当前前向传播中实现的非单射线性算子，其零空间准确地表征了这些不可见的输入变异。我们提出了与任务相关的零空间残差（Task-Relevant Null-Space Residuals, NSR），这是一个用于非单射线性映射的一般残差框架。NSR结合了从预映射表示中提取的零空间分量、成员级编码和门控，以及特定应用的集成，以在下游监督下利用潜在的与任务相关的信息，同时保留原始的聚合或合并规则。我们在两种结构上不同的设置中评估了NSR：令牌合并和图聚合。在令牌合并中，NSR在36个评估配置中有34个配置的语义分割性能高于相应的压缩基线，在强压缩下观察到的最大增益为31.51 mIoU点。在图聚合中，NSR在三个主干网络的深度d=2--6上，在Tree-NeighborsMatch上实现了100%的训练准确率，并在异质节点分类和分子图回归上取得了增益。这些结果共同支持零空间残差作为非单射线性映射的实际补充，使下游模型能够从原始操作符输出中不可见的输入区分中学习。

Transolver-$\sigma$: Joint Spectral-Physical Subspace Modeling for Neural PDE Solving
Transolver-$ heta$: 联合谱-物理子空间建模用于神经偏微分方程求解
Abstract
Neural solvers offer efficient surrogates for numerical simulation of partial differential equations (PDEs). For time-dependent problems, strong one-step accuracy does not necessarily translate into reliable autoregressive rollout. We observe that a solver based only on physical-state modeling can achieve lower one-step error, whereas its spectral-only counterpart can become more accurate at later rollout steps. Motivated by this observation, we present Transolver-$\sigma$, a neural PDE solver based on joint spectral--physical subspace modeling. Within each block, adaptive physical-state interactions and spectral transformations are modeled in dedicated latent subspaces, whose responses are recomposed to enable information exchange between the two representations. Within the physical subspace, we introduce Slice-Residual Physics-Attention (SRPA), which preserves an explicit slice-space identity path while retaining learnable cross-slice interaction. In parallel, an axis-factorized Fourier operator captures global spectral structure. Across five well-established PDE benchmarks spanning steady-state prediction and time-dependent dynamics, Transolver-$\sigma$ achieves state-of-the-art with a benchmark-averaged relative error reduction of 33.4% over the strongest baseline for each metric, while consistently improving autoregressive rollout over single-operator counterparts. Transolver-$\sigma$ further delivers strong gains on coupled multiphysics systems and real-world fluid and combustion measurements from RealPDEBench, demonstrating its effectiveness beyond standard simulation benchmarks.

神经求解器为偏微分方程（PDEs）的数值模拟提供了高效的替代方案。对于时间相关的问题，强的一步精度并不一定能转化为可靠的自回归展开。我们观察到，仅基于物理状态建模的求解器可以实现较低的一步误差，而其仅基于谱的对应物在后续展开步骤中可能变得更加准确。基于这一观察，我们提出了Transolver-$ heta$，一种基于联合谱-物理子空间建模的神经PDE求解器。在每个模块内，自适应物理状态交互和谱变换在专门的潜在子空间中建模，其响应被重新组合以实现两种表示之间的信息交换。在物理子空间内，我们引入了Slice-Residual Physics-Attention（SRPA），该方法在保留可学习的跨切片交互的同时，保持了显式的切片空间身份路径。与此同时，轴因子化的傅里叶算子捕捉全局谱结构。在涵盖稳态预测和时间相关动态的五个成熟PDE基准测试中，Transolver-$ heta$在每个指标上相较于最强基线实现了33.4%的基准平均相对误差降低，同时在自回归展开中持续优于单算子对应物。Transolver-$ heta$在耦合多物理系统以及来自RealPDEBench的真实流体和燃烧测量中进一步展现出显著的性能提升，证明了其在标准模拟基准之外的有效性。

AssayRouter: Historical Utility Priors for Frozen Molecular Predictor Routing
AssayRouter：用于冷冻分子预测器路由的历史效用先验
Abstract
Laboratories often face a new molecular assay with 16-64 labels and a bank of predictors whose training data and parameters are unavailable. The practical question is which frozen outputs to include in a small local model. AssayRouter treats completed assays as pseudo-targets and labels each candidate by its post-fit utility: the reduction in held-out discovery loss when the candidate is added to the local target predictor. A shared regressor learns to predict this utility from candidate behavior on the support set, without source identity; on a new assay, one frozen ranking selects four sources and separate labels fit a convex combiner. We train only on completed ChEMBL-MT assays and evaluate 24 external regression assays across six frozen interface families. AssayRouter-C lowers strict four-call negative log-likelihood (NLL) by 0.0409 relative to Support-CV@4. Frozen candidate-label permutations confirm that candidate-utility correspondence carries the transferred information, and leave-one-interface-out training shows that the mapping generalizes to unseen predictor families. Completed assays therefore provide transferable supervision for scarce-label routing through frozen prediction interfaces.

MetaCtrl: Your Large Language Models Can Reason Better and More Concisely with a Metacognitive Controller
MetaCtrl：您的大型语言模型可以通过元认知控制器更好且更简洁地进行推理
Abstract
Large reasoning models improve performance on challenging problems by allocating additional computation before answering, but longer reasoning does not always lead to better results and can introduce substantial redundant reasoning on simple problems. Conversely, aggressively shortening reasoning can degrade performance on difficult ones. Effective reasoning therefore requires dynamically deciding when additional computation is useful based on the reasoner's capabilities and evolving solution state. Existing approaches often rely on predefined budgets or intervention rules, retrain the target reasoner, or require additional supervision. We introduce MetaCtrl, a lightweight controller that adaptively regulates a frozen reasoner without predefined token budgets or reasoner retraining. We formulate reasoning regulation as a sequential metacognitive control problem: MetaCtrl observes the evolving reasoning trace and decides whether to continue, simplify, skip redundant steps, or conclude reasoning. It is trained directly with reinforcement learning using a reward that prioritizes correctness while favoring shorter trajectories among correct solutions, requiring neither supervised intervention trajectories nor problem-specific budgets. Across seven benchmarks spanning mathematics, science, and code, MetaCtrl consistently improves the accuracy of LRMs while reducing their reasoning length. On DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B, it improves average accuracy by 4.7 points while reducing generation length by 53.3%. Without further training, the same controller transfers to an unseen reasoner (e.g., Qwen3-14B), improving average accuracy by 2.9 points and reducing generation length by 50.3%. These results establish MetaCtrl as a plug-and-play controller for improving reasoning accuracy while substantially reducing inference-time generation. The code is available at https://github.com/binbin2xs/MetaCtrl.

大型推理模型通过在回答之前分配额外的计算资源来提高在挑战性问题上的表现，但更长的推理并不总是能带来更好的结果，且在简单问题上可能引入大量冗余推理。相反，过于激进地缩短推理可能会降低在困难问题上的表现。因此，有效的推理需要根据推理者的能力和不断变化的解决状态动态决定何时进行额外计算。现有方法通常依赖于预定义的预算或干预规则，重新训练目标推理者，或需要额外的监督。我们提出了MetaCtrl，这是一种轻量级控制器，能够在没有预定义令牌预算或推理者重新训练的情况下，自适应地调节一个冻结的推理者。我们将推理调节公式化为一个序列元认知控制问题：MetaCtrl观察不断演变的推理轨迹，并决定是继续、简化、跳过冗余步骤，还是结束推理。它通过强化学习直接训练，使用一种奖励机制，该机制优先考虑正确性，同时在正确解中偏向较短的轨迹，不需要监督干预轨迹或特定问题的预算。在涵盖数学、科学和代码的七个基准测试中，MetaCtrl始终提高了大型语言模型的准确性，同时减少了推理长度。在DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B上，它将平均准确性提高了4.7个百分点，同时将生成长度减少了53.3%。在没有进一步训练的情况下，同一控制器可以迁移到一个未见过的推理者（例如Qwen3-14B），将平均准确性提高了2.9个百分点，并将生成长度减少了50.3%。这些结果确立了MetaCtrl作为一种即插即用的控制器，能够提高推理准确性，同时显著减少推理时的生成时间。代码可在 https://github.com/binbin2xs/MetaCtrl 获取。

ReMem: Rethinking Perception and Memory in Long-Context Recommendation Agents
ReMem：重新思考长上下文推荐代理中的感知与记忆
Abstract
Recent Recommendation Agents (RecAgents) offer a promising alternative by shifting recommendation to an active, user-side paradigm, where generative agents autonomously perceive external platforms, reason over user preferences, and execute decisions. However, existing RecAgents still suffer from two critical limitations: brittle item perception based on noisy and heterogeneous item pages, and inefficient long-context reasoning over extended user histories and multi-step interaction traces. To address these challenges, we propose a novel recommendation agent framework, termed as ReMem, that combines OCR-based multimodal perception with time-evolving dynamic memory. Instead of parsing raw HTML, ReMem observes item pages through screenshots and extracts structured multimodal information via an OCR tool, enabling a more humanoid and platform-agnostic perception mechanism. To support long-horizon preference modeling, ReMem further introduces a chunk-wise sequential memory update strategy, where the agent selectively maintains a fixed-size memory of informative historical interactions while processing arbitrarily long contexts with linear inference complexity and bounded context length. This design allows the agent to preserve evolving user preferences without relying on external memory modules or disrupting the standard autoregressive generation process. To enhance the dynamic memory instruction, we further develop a multi-memory GRPO variant, which propagates the final-answer advantage to all intermediate conversations that contribute to the final response. Extensive experiments on three datasets demonstrate that ReMem consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving an average improvement of 5.16\% across three recommendation agent tasks, namely searching, ranking, and judging.

近期的推荐代理（RecAgents）通过将推荐转变为一种主动的用户侧范式，提供了一种有前景的替代方案，在这种范式中，生成代理能够自主感知外部平台，推理用户偏好并执行决策。然而，现有的推荐代理仍然面临两个关键限制：基于嘈杂和异构商品页面的脆弱商品感知，以及对扩展用户历史和多步交互轨迹的低效长上下文推理。为了解决这些挑战，我们提出了一种新颖的推荐代理框架，称为ReMem，它结合了基于OCR的多模态感知与时间演变的动态记忆。ReMem不再解析原始HTML，而是通过截图观察商品页面，并通过OCR工具提取结构化的多模态信息，从而实现一种更类人且平台无关的感知机制。为了支持长时间偏好建模，ReMem进一步引入了一种分块顺序记忆更新策略，代理在处理任意长上下文时选择性地维护固定大小的有信息量的历史交互记忆，同时保持线性推理复杂度和有限的上下文长度。这一设计使代理能够在不依赖外部记忆模块或干扰标准自回归生成过程的情况下，保留不断演变的用户偏好。为了增强动态记忆指令，我们进一步开发了一种多记忆GRPO变体，该变体将最终答案的优势传播到所有对最终响应有贡献的中间对话。对三个数据集的广泛实验表明，ReMem在三个推荐代理任务（即搜索、排序和判断）中始终优于最先进的基线，平均提升达到5.16%。

Mubric: Mutation Testing-Guided Rubric Generation for LLM Evaluation
Mubric：基于变异测试的LLM评估评分标准生成
Abstract
Rubric-based evaluation is widely used to assess LLM-based systems by decomposing response quality into task-specific scoring criteria. However, automatically generating rubrics that reliably capture task-specific quality requirements remains challenging. We introduce Mubric, a mutation testing-guided approach to rubric generation. Mutation testing, a classic software testing methodology, evaluates a test suite by injecting faults into programs and checking whether the tests detect them. We draw an analogy between test suites and rubrics: if a rubric captures an important quality requirement, introducing a corresponding defect into an otherwise high-quality response should reduce its score. Mubric first mines common defects from real pairs of preferred and dispreferred responses and abstracts these defects into reusable mutation operators, each specifying how to introduce a particular type of response defect. For a new task, it applies relevant operators to a reference response, checks whether the injected defects reduce response quality, and uses insufficiently penalized defects to refine the rubric. We evaluate Mubric on 703 tasks across four representative domains against six advanced rubric generation methods. Mubric achieves the highest overall evaluation accuracy, outperforming the strongest baseline by 7.48 percentage points.

基于评分标准的评估广泛用于通过将响应质量分解为特定任务的评分标准来评估基于LLM的系统。然而，自动生成能够可靠捕捉特定任务质量要求的评分标准仍然具有挑战性。我们提出了Mubric，一种基于变异测试的评分标准生成方法。变异测试是一种经典的软件测试方法，通过向程序注入故障并检查测试是否能够检测到这些故障来评估测试套件。我们将测试套件与评分标准进行类比：如果一个评分标准捕捉到一个重要的质量要求，那么在一个原本高质量的响应中引入相应的缺陷应该会降低其得分。Mubric首先从真实的偏好和非偏好响应对中挖掘常见缺陷，并将这些缺陷抽象为可重用的变异操作符，每个操作符指定如何引入特定类型的响应缺陷。对于一个新任务，它将相关操作符应用于参考响应，检查注入的缺陷是否降低响应质量，并利用惩罚不足的缺陷来完善评分标准。我们在四个代表性领域的703个任务上评估了Mubric，与六种先进的评分标准生成方法进行比较。Mubric实现了最高的整体评估准确率，超过最强基线7.48个百分点。

VISTA: Value-Informed Event Appraisal for Multimodal Emotion Conflict
VISTA：基于价值的信息事件评估用于多模态情感冲突
Abstract
Conflicting emotional cues can be individually valid: a subdued voice may reflect a blocked goal while a smile satisfies a social obligation. Their interpretation depends on what the event means to the person. We introduce VISTA (Value-Informed Semantic Trust Arbitration), a learned seven-field appraisal interface that conditions modality arbitration on concerns, event relations, and expression conditions while retaining a joint-evidence residual. A log-odds decomposition separates emotion expectation from cue diagnosticity, motivating an interface that lets appraisal change how evidence is interpreted. With a shared Qwen2.5-Omni-7B backbone and matched training examples and steps, VISTA reaches 64.5% conflict accuracy on CA-MER, improving on modality gating by 2.5 percentage points on conflict and 0.2 on consistency. Shuffling appraisal across scenes or removing its decision connection reduces this benefit. A common frozen-backbone probe reaches 0.600 macro CCC for appraisal readout, compared with 0.505 for emotion-only fine-tuning. Evaluations across five benchmarks connect recognition under increasing conflict with appraisal readout and downstream decision use. Together, the analyses and experiments support scene-specific appraisal as an intermediate representation that helps interpret conflicting emotional evidence.

Solving Without Stopping: On-Policy Distillation at Small Scale
不停地解决问题：小规模的在线蒸馏
Abstract
On-policy distillation, where a student learns from a stronger teacher's feedback on its own outputs, is a common way to pass reasoning to smaller models. We analyze what it transfers at small scale, distilling Qwen3-8B into Qwen3 4B, 1.7B and 0.6B students, in thinking mode (reason at length, then end the reasoning and answer) and, for comparison, in non-thinking mode (no separate reasoning phase). Long reasoning needs two abilities, solving a problem and knowing when it is solved, and we find that distillation transfers the first, but in thinking mode not the second. Solving improves at every size, up to two ceilings, which we measure comprehensively across both modes and all student sizes: a student's single attempt never exceeds what it could already reach in many attempts before training, and the smaller the student, the further it stays below the teacher. Stopping is where the modes part. In non-thinking mode every student keeps stopping; in thinking mode students stop ending their reasoning early in training, and the smaller the student, the less of this ability survives: the teacher signals a stop almost only where a student already ends its reasoning, so distillation teaches no new stops; it only keeps the student's existing stops that land on a right answer, and a weak student has few such stops. The smallest students often reach the right value but do not commit to it: they either rarely mark it or mark it and write past it. Together, these results describe how small students behave under on-policy distillation, and a diagnostic that separates answer marking, correctness and stopping.

Seek Before You Move: Evidence Seeking for Progress Grounding in Vision-Language Navigation
移动前的探索：视觉-语言导航中的进展基础证据寻求
Abstract
Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) requires agents to continuously ground task progress from long-horizon instructions and partial egocentric observations. Existing VLM-based navigation agents typically reason only over available observations and may remain confident even when task-relevant evidence is missing. For example, an agent may confidently proceed forward and get lost even though the landmark indicating the next turn lies outside its current field of view. We term this failure mode Progress Myopia: the agent fails to recognize unreliable progress grounding and continues acting on insufficient evidence. To address it, we propose SeekVLN, an evidence-seeking framework that couples semantic progress reasoning with active acquisition of task-relevant observations. SeekVLN is trained in two stages: First, Future-guided Reverse Generation (FRG) uses future expert actions to augment offline expert trajectories with supplementary views and evidence annotations. Supervised fine-tuning on these trajectories establishes a prior for evidence seeking and progress reasoning without additional expert interaction. However, imitation alone does not reveal whether seeking improves subsequent navigation. We therefore introduce Counterfactual Contrastive Policy Optimization (C2PO) for reinforcement fine-tuning. By comparing each evidence-seeking branch with a counterfactual direct-navigation branch from the same state, C2PO uses a contrastive reward to assign credit to seeking decisions based on subsequent navigation benefit. Experiments on simulated benchmarks show that SeekVLN achieves state-of-the-art performance, improving success rate by 12.7% and 7.5% over the base model on R2R-CE and RxR-CE, respectively. Both simulated and real-world evaluations exhibit human-like evidence-seeking behaviors for more reliable progress grounding.

Teaching LLMs to Generate Challenging MILP Instances via Solver Feedback
通过求解器反馈教导大型语言模型生成具有挑战性的混合整数线性规划实例
Abstract
Generating optimization instances that are both feasible and computationally challenging is crucial for benchmarking solvers and training learning-based optimization algorithms. Existing non-LLM generators rely on seed instances or parameter tuning, resulting in high test-time computational cost, while existing LLM generators lack explicit hardness measures. Recent reinforcement learning methods with verifier feedback evaluate only binary correctness, which is misaligned with generating challenging problems. We note that an optimization solver reports the cost of solving at several stages of its pipeline, and leverage this to design a reward that scores both the solvability and the hardness of generated problems, measured by branch-and-bound nodes and post-cut relaxation gaps. Our key idea is a challenger-solver asymmetric self-play approach, where an LLM challenger generates progressively harder instances and the solver verifies feasibility and hardness, so no seed or training MILP instances are required. We fine-tune Gemma-4-12B and Qwen3.5-4B with GRPO and a size curriculum into OptiScribe-12B and OptiScribe-4B, which generate feasible yet challenging MILP problems from natural language instructions. On capacitated facility location and max-cut, OptiScribe-12B raises median SCIP search nodes by 1.7-5x and post-cut gaps by 1.1-1.7x over its base model and improves the feasibility rate on facility location by 9-19 points, while OptiScribe-4B raises median nodes by up to 15.6x. The problems cover a wider difficulty range than public benchmarks of the same size, follow instructions on density and difficulty, and can tune solver settings for families that public libraries lack. These results indicate that optimization-specific rewards, used in self-play mode, can teach LLMs to generate high-difficulty optimization benchmarks.

生成既可行又具有计算挑战性的优化实例对于基准测试求解器和训练基于学习的优化算法至关重要。现有的非大型语言模型（LLM）生成器依赖于种子实例或参数调优，导致高昂的测试时间计算成本，而现有的LLM生成器缺乏明确的难度度量。最近的强化学习方法结合验证者反馈仅评估二元正确性，这与生成具有挑战性的问题不符。我们注意到，优化求解器在其流程的多个阶段报告解决成本，并利用这一点设计一种奖励机制，既评估生成问题的可解性，又评估其难度，后者通过分支限界节点和后切松弛间隙来衡量。我们的关键思想是采用挑战者-求解器不对称自我对弈的方法，其中LLM挑战者生成逐渐更难的实例，而求解器验证可行性和难度，因此不需要种子或训练的混合整数线性规划（MILP）实例。我们使用GRPO和规模课程对Gemma-4-12B和Qwen3.5-4B进行微调，生成OptiScribe-12B和OptiScribe-4B，这些模型能够从自然语言指令中生成可行但具有挑战性的MILP问题。在容量设施选址和最大割问题上，OptiScribe-12B的中位数SCIP搜索节点提高了1.7-5倍，后切间隙提高了1.1-1.7倍，设施选址的可行性率提高了9-19个百分点，而OptiScribe-4B的中位数节点最多提高了15.6倍。这些问题覆盖了比同规模公共基准更广泛的难度范围，遵循了密度和难度的指令，并能够调整求解器设置以适应公共库缺乏的家族。这些结果表明，在自我对弈模式中使用的优化特定奖励可以教导LLM生成高难度的优化基准。我们将在接受后公开发布我们的代码和模型。

Pretrain Once, Route Anywhere: Towards a Foundation Model for LLM Routing
一次预训练，随处路由：面向大语言模型路由的基础模型
Abstract
Large language model (LLM) routing aims to assign each query to the most suitable model from a heterogeneous candidate pool, improving the quality--efficiency trade-off of LLM inference. Existing routers are typically learned through local fitting: a router is optimized for a particular query workload and candidate pool, and often requires additional supervision or retraining as the routing environment changes. We ask whether LLM routing can instead be approached from a foundation-model perspective, learning a reusable routing capability that generalizes across tasks, candidate models, and deployment conditions. To this end, we introduce RouteFM, which learns to characterize anonymous candidate models from behavioral context and infer their target-specific capabilities, rather than binding routing decisions to fixed model identities or a single environment. Through episodic pretraining across heterogeneous routing environments, this capability can be reused by a frozen router and adapted to new environments through context alone. Experiments demonstrate transfer across changes in domains, modalities, candidate pools, and context budgets, with the largest gains when behavioral evidence is limited. On MMR-Bench, which is excluded from pretraining, RouteFM outperforms the strongest baseline by 2.23 quality points with only eight observations per candidate. These results support moving LLM routing from repeated local fitting toward a pretrain once, route anywhere paradigm. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/LAMDA-Model-Reuse/RouteFM.

大语言模型（LLM）路由旨在将每个查询分配给来自异构候选池中最合适的模型，从而改善LLM推理的质量与效率权衡。现有的路由器通常通过局部拟合进行学习：路由器针对特定的查询工作负载和候选池进行优化，并且随着路由环境的变化，通常需要额外的监督或重新训练。我们探讨是否可以从基础模型的角度来处理LLM路由，学习一种可重用的路由能力，使其能够跨任务、候选模型和部署条件进行泛化。为此，我们提出了RouteFM，它学习从行为上下文中表征匿名候选模型，并推断其特定目标的能力，而不是将路由决策绑定到固定的模型身份或单一环境。通过在异构路由环境中的情节预训练，这种能力可以被一个冻结的路由器重用，并通过上下文单独适应新环境。实验表明，在领域、模态、候选池和上下文预算变化时能够实现迁移，当行为证据有限时，获得的增益最大。在未参与预训练的MMR-Bench上，RouteFM在每个候选仅有八个观察的情况下，超越了最强基线2.23个质量点。这些结果支持将LLM路由从重复的局部拟合转向一次预训练、随处路由的范式。我们的代码已公开发布在 https://github.com/LAMDA-Model-Reuse/RouteFM。

Beyond Prompt Count: How Data Shapes Transfer in On-Policy Distillation
超越提示数量：数据如何影响在策略蒸馏中的迁移
Abstract
On-policy distillation (OPD) trains students using teacher feedback on their own sampled responses, yet how prompt choice shapes transfer across teacher-student pairs remains poorly understood. We systematically study prompt quantity, source, and selection across RL- and SFT-continuation pairs and cross-model settings. We find that OPD can be highly prompt-efficient: a few prompts can approach large-pool performance, with four DAPO prompts matching the observed mathematics score of 3,840 DeepMath prompts. However, prompt utility is relational rather than intrinsic: changing only the teacher can reverse the relative effectiveness of mathematics and code prompts. To characterize these transfer differences, we analyze parameter and functional changes across prompt supports and model pairs. Functional alignment with the teacher varies across supports and target tasks; in continuation pairs, teacher-aligned prediction changes can coexist with weak parameter alignment. Continued OPD on effective supports can restore performance after unfavorable transfer. Finally, targeted selection does not consistently outperform uniform random sampling, and filtering out a source that performs poorly alone yields no consistent gain across three paired support draws. Overall, our results distinguish prompt efficiency from prompt interchangeability and show that effective data choice depends on the teacher-student pair and target capability, with random sampling providing a competitive baseline in the studied settings.

在策略蒸馏（On-policy Distillation, OPD）中，学生通过教师对其自身采样响应的反馈进行训练，但提示选择如何影响教师-学生对之间的迁移仍然不甚了解。我们系统地研究了在强化学习（Reinforcement Learning, RL）和监督微调（Supervised Fine-Tuning, SFT）延续对及跨模型设置中的提示数量、来源和选择。我们发现，OPD可以非常高效地利用提示：少量提示的性能可以接近大池性能，四个 DAPO 提示的表现与 3,840 个 DeepMath 提示的数学分数相匹配。然而，提示的效用是相对的而非内在的：仅更换教师就可以逆转数学和代码提示的相对有效性。为了表征这些迁移差异，我们分析了跨提示支持和模型对的参数和功能变化。与教师的功能对齐在不同支持和目标任务中有所不同；在延续对中，与教师对齐的预测变化可以与弱参数对齐共存。在有效支持上继续进行 OPD 可以在不利迁移后恢复性能。最后，针对性选择并不总是优于均匀随机采样，且过滤掉表现不佳的单一来源在三个配对支持抽样中未能带来一致的收益。总体而言，我们的结果区分了提示效率与提示可互换性，并表明有效的数据选择依赖于教师-学生对和目标能力，而随机采样在研究的设置中提供了一个具有竞争力的基线。

Direct Experience World-Model Optimization: Learning the World Beyond Action Imitation
直接经验世界模型优化：超越动作模仿的世界学习
Abstract
World-Action Models (WAMs) couple action generation with predictions of how physical interactions unfold. However, current post-deployment learning paradigms typically improve behavior without requiring better world predictions. Especially in dexterous manipulation, small execution errors can compound in high-dimensional action spaces, hindering policy improvement and pushing interactions beyond the world model's training distribution. Motivated by this, we propose Direct Experience World-Model Optimization (DEWO), a post-deployment learning paradigm for WAMs that, alongside action imitation, refines world representations through visual experience to better condition action generation. Specifically, it identifies interaction turning points and learns from successful and failed futures to support classifier-free guidance. An additional value head estimates task progress from video representations and activates guidance when progress stalls during inference. Across five DexJoCo tasks, DEWO improves average success across all three WAM formulations. Ablations show that visual supervision from successful and failed continuations improves both prediction and control beyond action supervision alone. On four real-world tasks across Wuji and Sharpa, 3 x 3 grid evaluations show that two rounds of deployment learning increase success from 51.0% to 71.7% in cells with at least one initial success, a gain of 20.7 percentage points. These findings support continued predictive learning for improving control through deployment experience, making world modeling an active part of WAM adaptation.

世界-动作模型（WAMs）将动作生成与物理交互的预测结合在一起。然而，当前的后部署学习范式通常在不需要更好世界预测的情况下改善行为。尤其在灵巧操作中，小的执行误差可能在高维动作空间中累积，阻碍策略改进，并使交互超出世界模型的训练分布。基于此，我们提出了直接经验世界模型优化（DEWO），这是一种针对WAMs的后部署学习范式，它在动作模仿的同时，通过视觉经验来细化世界表征，以更好地调节动作生成。具体而言，它识别交互的转折点，并从成功和失败的未来中学习，以支持无分类器的引导。一个额外的价值头从视频表征中估计任务进展，并在推理过程中进展停滞时激活引导。在五个DexJoCo任务中，DEWO提高了所有三种WAM形式的平均成功率。消融实验表明，来自成功和失败延续的视觉监督在预测和控制方面超越了仅依赖动作监督的效果。在Wuji和Sharpa的四个真实世界任务中，3 x 3网格评估显示，经过两轮部署学习，至少有一个初始成功的单元格的成功率从51.0%提高到71.7%，增幅为20.7个百分点。这些发现支持通过部署经验持续进行预测学习，以改善控制，使世界建模成为WAM适应的一个积极部分。

Routing Should Pay for Itself: Sparse Supervision for Economical LLM Routing
路由应自负盈亏：经济型大语言模型路由的稀疏监督
Abstract
Large language model (LLM) routing reduces serving cost by assigning each query to an appropriate model while preserving response quality. Learning such a router, however, often requires executing multiple candidate models on historical queries to collect query--model quality feedback, creating a nontrivial supervision cost before deployment. Existing work largely focuses on serving-time efficiency, overlooking whether the resulting savings are sufficient to recover this upfront expenditure. We further observe that routing quality often saturates well before all query--model feedback is collected, suggesting that dense supervision can be economically over-provisioned. We propose SaveRouter, a sparse-supervision routing framework that selectively acquires informative model feedback and shares capability information across related queries, while retaining query-level refinement for fine-grained routing. We evaluate routing by jointly accounting for supervision expenditure and subsequent serving-time savings. Across four routing benchmarks, the main setting uses only about 33--41% of available training feedback while maintaining competitive or better routing quality, and reduces the break-even deployment volume by approximately 1.9--9.5 times compared with the fastest conventional router. Further analysis shows that acquiring more supervision is not always economically preferable: the supervision level that minimizes serving cost can differ from the one that achieves the earliest payback. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/LAMDA-Model-Reuse/SaveRouter.

大语言模型（LLM）路由通过将每个查询分配给适当的模型来降低服务成本，同时保持响应质量。然而，学习这样的路由器通常需要在历史查询上执行多个候选模型，以收集查询-模型质量反馈，这在部署前会产生不小的监督成本。现有研究主要集中在服务时间效率上，忽视了所产生的节省是否足以弥补这一前期支出。我们进一步观察到，路由质量往往在收集所有查询-模型反馈之前就会饱和，这表明密集监督可能在经济上过度配置。我们提出了SaveRouter，一个稀疏监督路由框架，选择性地获取信息丰富的模型反馈，并在相关查询之间共享能力信息，同时保留查询级别的细致调整以实现精细路由。我们通过共同考虑监督支出和随后的服务时间节省来评估路由。在四个路由基准测试中，主要设置仅使用约33-41%的可用训练反馈，同时保持竞争力或更好的路由质量，并将与最快的传统路由器相比，降低了大约1.9-9.5倍的盈亏平衡部署量。进一步分析表明，获取更多监督并不总是经济上更可取：最小化服务成本的监督水平可能与实现最早回报的监督水平不同。我们的代码已公开发布在 https://github.com/LAMDA-Model-Reuse/SaveRouter。

Demistifying Data and Simulator Assumptions in Supervised Causal Discovery
揭示监督因果发现中的数据和模拟器假设
Abstract
Supervised causal discovery learns to infer causal structure for a new dataset from training datasets paired with structural labels. These training pairs are typically simulated, making the simulator both a source of supervision and a carrier of assumptions about causal graphs, mechanisms, and noise. Understanding the resulting predictions therefore requires examining how these assumptions supplement the information available in observational data, which may be compatible with multiple causal graphs. This paper examines that relationship across representative methods available through June 2026. We organize these methods by prediction target, prediction granularity, encoder, structural decoder, and training regime to relate what each method predicts to how it uses data and simulator-based supervision. Using this framework, we distinguish two questions: whether the target is identifiable under the assumed model class, and whether a trained predictor generalizes beyond its training distribution. Restrictions on mechanisms and noise can make otherwise ambiguous causal directions identifiable, but predictive accuracy under those restrictions does not establish transfer when they change. This distinction motivates evaluation that matches metrics to the identifiable graph target and tests changes in graphs, mechanisms, and noise between training and deployment. Extending such evaluation to real data also requires documenting the external causal evidence and uncertainty behind benchmark reference graphs. Together, these analyses guide method comparison and identify open questions in transfer, test-time adaptation, and uncertainty assessment.

监督因果发现旨在从配有结构标签的训练数据集中推断新数据集的因果结构。这些训练对通常是模拟生成的，使得模拟器既是监督的来源，也是关于因果图、机制和噪声假设的载体。因此，理解所得到的预测需要考察这些假设如何补充观察数据中可用的信息，而观察数据可能与多个因果图兼容。本文考察了这一关系，涵盖截至2026年6月的代表性方法。我们根据预测目标、预测粒度、编码器、结构解码器和训练机制对这些方法进行组织，以关联每种方法的预测与其如何使用数据和基于模拟器的监督。利用这一框架，我们区分了两个问题：目标是否在假定的模型类下可识别，以及训练后的预测器是否能够超越其训练分布进行推广。对机制和噪声的限制可以使原本模糊的因果方向变得可识别，但在这些限制下的预测准确性并不能在变化时建立转移。这一区别促使我们进行评估，使指标与可识别的图目标相匹配，并测试训练与部署之间图、机制和噪声的变化。将这种评估扩展到真实数据还需要记录基准参考图背后的外部因果证据和不确定性。这些分析共同指导方法比较，并识别转移、测试时适应和不确定性评估中的未解问题。

Commitment Hierarchies under Intent Revision: A Belief-Revision Account of Salvage in Tool-Use Agents
意图修订下的承诺层级：工具使用代理中救助的信念修订解释
Abstract
When a user changes their mind partway through a task, an agent that has already split the task into sub-goals and paid for tool calls must decide, per cached sub-result, whether to keep, patch, or discard it (salvage), restarting wastes valid work and continuing unchanged answers the old question. Our main finding is that salvage quality is a matter of role design rather than model capability: a language model asked the keep/patch/discard question one node at a time is unreliable, but asked to classify the revision once, with a deterministic layer propagating the decision, it reaches the cost-optimal oracle on all three models tested, from two vendors. Modeling the plan as a commitment hierarchy and the intent change as a belief-revision operator with AGM style postulates, we prove that no policy observing only a node's local view can be both safe and cost optimal, while the single classification design is both. Across three environments the policy recovers the full achievable savings, 43% cheaper than restart, at 100% correctness.

Governing the Edge: Automating Commercial Property and Casualty Insurance Underwriting via a Hybrid Local-Cloud Multi-Agent Framework
边缘治理：通过混合本地-云多代理框架自动化商业财产和意外保险承保
Abstract
Underwriters in commercial Property and Casualty (P&C) insurance spend 30 to 40% of their time on administrative work rather than risk judgment, and a single submission takes about 40 minutes by hand. We present Governing the Edge, a multi-agent framework for that layer, organized around a data-residency constraint: sensitive submission data must not leave the perimeter. Eleven agents and two deterministic control nodes, one a human-escalation interrupt, form a 13-node LangGraph workflow across two tiers. Agents touching raw submissions run locally on Gemma 2, each bound through a tool interface logging every invocation (synthetic stubs in the current prototype); only anonymized scores and non-identifying fields cross to Claude Sonnet in the cloud. Compliance rules are encoded as conditions on graph edges, so a non-compliant submission never reaches pricing. We walk through one full scenario end to end, a commercial auto submission whose principal driver carries serious violations, showing every agent call, every tool invocation, and the resulting routing decision. The framework processes a 40-minute manual submission in a few minutes on a single edge device, dominated by serialized on-device inference. On the hard-stop violation tier the framework enforces every rule correctly and reproducibly, since hard stops are deterministic predicates over fields extracted at temperature 0; overall compliance accuracy across the 20-scenario benchmark is 70%, with the remaining gap concentrated in softer, judgment-based tiers. It keeps a complete audit trail and respects the privacy boundary throughout. We release all code, compliance rules, tool stubs, and synthetic datasets.

VeriWeave Govern: Evidence-Gated Deterministic Runtime Governance for Enterprise AI Agents
VeriWeave Govern：面向企业人工智能代理的证据门控确定性运行时治理
Abstract
Enterprise artificial-intelligence agents increasingly call tools, modify infrastructure, and process protected data, creating a need to separate action generation from action authorization. This article presents VeriWeave Govern, a deterministic runtime governance layer that evaluates structured agent actions against versioned policies, validates typed evidence, applies fixed deny > review > allow precedence, routes consequential actions to accountable human review, and records replayable tamper-evident audit state. GovernBench evaluates the design over 30 independent seeds and 60,000 oracle-labelled cases spanning five enterprise domains, adversarial evidence, out-of-distribution actions, and temporal policy evolution. VeriWeave achieves 0.9888 mean accuracy, 0.9836 macro-F1, zero observed aggregate false allows, and zero observed Governance Attack Success Rate on the evaluated cases. Six ablations show that evidence gating, deny precedence, out-of-distribution fail-safe behavior, human review, contradiction handling, and temporal replay contribute complementary safety. The deployed API additionally passes 12/12 end-to-end scenarios and a 40,040-request concurrency matrix with zero failures. A separate 150-case EU/Austria regulation-grounded evaluation uses frozen predictions and two independent blinded human annotators, who agree on all decisions. On this set, deterministic engines remain conservative, while a Gemma 4 31B comparator aligns more closely with the human consensus. The results expose a measurable safety--utility trade-off and motivate evidence-aware, replayable governance as an independent control plane for enterprise agent execution.

CRASM-Gate: Deterministic-First Constraint- and Role-Aware Semantic Mapping with Selective Model Assistance Across Heterogeneous Industrial Standards
CRASM-Gate：基于确定性优先的约束和角色感知语义映射，结合跨异构工业标准的选择性模型辅助
Abstract
Industrial standards often encode the same engineering concept through incompatible hierarchies, identifiers, roles, and structural constraints, so the nearest lexical or embedding match can still be technically inadmissible. This article presents CRASM, a deterministic constraint- and role-aware semantic mapping method, and CRASM-Gate, its selectively model-assisted extension. The framework separates standard-specific canonicalization, bounded retrieval, deterministic rules, destination-versus-origin role interpretation, semantic and structural ranking, ambiguity refusal, and target validation. CRASM-Gate adds a confidence/disagreement gate that may invoke a candidate-constrained large language model, while final authority remains with deterministic validation. A controlled artifact covers six directed industrial-standard pairs, three difficulty levels, and ten configurations, yielding 14,400 sample-level decisions. With a fixed local model endpoint, CRASM-Gate reaches mean F1 0.9938 and an implemented structural-validity rate of 1.0000; deterministic CRASM reaches 0.9931 without generative-model calls; and the model-only baseline reaches 0.5347. Relative to the model-only baseline, CRASM reduces top-1 errors from 670 to 10 while exhibiting 0.0688 s/sample rather than 24.5263 s/sample observed latency. CRASM-Gate improves CRASM by one additional correct decision out of 1,440, with observed latency increasing to 15.7666 s/sample. The results support a deterministic-first interoperability architecture in which model assistance is optional, measurable, candidate-bounded, and unable to bypass structural validation.

Authority Before Utility: Non-Compensatory Control for Persistent LLM Memory
权威优先于效用：持久大语言模型记忆的非补偿控制
Abstract
Persistent memory creates a control problem that retrieval relevance alone does not solve: a memory can remain highly useful after an update, deletion, or revocation makes it inadmissible for the current answer. We formalize this as a separation between utility and authority. A fixed finite penalty applied to an unnormalized utility score cannot guarantee exclusion under arbitrary positive-affine reparameterization of that score; by contrast, rank-normalized compensation is scale-invariant and therefore forms a stronger empirical comparator. Our prospectively frozen TIDE/LongMemEval primary was quarantined before a valid HELDOUT comparison because the materialized TIDE adapter conflated historical age with query-relative inadmissibility and the aligned LongMemEval split left no DEV set for the predeclared penalty selection. We therefore report a post-primary replacement diagnostic on Memora Remembering, where update/delete operations provide item-level forgetting state. On Qwen3-8B, DEV selected lambda = 0.6 from a ten-point normalized SOFT family. Across 185 HELDOUT units in 28 dependency clusters, HARD exclusion yields 4.04% balanced construct error versus 19.66% for locked SOFT, a paired difference of 15.61 points with a 20,000-replicate cluster-bootstrap 95% interval of [13.07, 18.76]. The effect is driven primarily by forgotten-value leakage while current-value recall is preserved. This is same-Q operator-comparison evidence, not a universal claim that scalar control fails, not an evaluation of learned authority inference, and not an independent downstream-harm endpoint.

Boundary-State Control for Tool-Using Language-Model Agents: Commit-Time Consistency under State Drift
工具使用语言模型代理的边界状态控制：状态漂移下的提交时间一致性
Abstract
Tool-using language-model agents can decide that an action is permissible and execute it only after security-relevant state has changed. We study this proposal-to-commit gap and introduce BSC-R, a deterministic effect-boundary mechanism that binds a single-use commit authorization to the exact action and to a semantic projection of the authorization state that justified it. On 2,847 attacked AgentDojo episodes, the boundary kernel preserves the unprotected agent's behavior exactly (80.576% utility; 1.616% attack success). On 10,302 frozen proposals, it accepts every unchanged commit and rejects every instance of ten prospectively specified changed or replayed classes. In an independently generated boundary-drift experiment, full joint binding commits 0/4,403 invalid contexts while retaining 5,899/5,899 valid contexts. A prospective external evaluation on the 3,460-scenario CONTINUITY suite retains all 700 benign cases, prevents 1,200/1,200 represented non-replay invalid effects, handles 160/160 replay lifecycles correctly, and withholds 200/200 ambiguous no-release cases. The broader external suite also exposes the method's limit: across all 2,560 attacks, BSC-R has a 25% invalid-effect commit rate versus 0% for CONTINUITY.

SkillGym: Training Skill-Use Agents with Automatic Verifiable Environment Generation
SkillGym：通过自动可验证环境生成训练技能使用代理
Abstract
Skills equip LLM agents with professional knowledge and guidance to complete long-horizon and complex tasks. Although skills have been widely adopted in recent agent paradigms and harnesses, how to synthesize reliable training data and how to train agents for skill use remain underexplored. In this work, we propose SkillGym, an automatic pipeline to build verifiable environments, collect trajectories, and train skill-use agents. SkillGym first crawls a large volume of skills from the internet, then keeps those whose workflows can run reproducibly offline. A builder-reviewer pipeline is used to construct difficulty-controlled tasks, spanning four task types, each with a reference solution and an executable verifier. With this pipeline, we build 6.8k environments and collect 19k verified successful trajectories for supervised finetuning. Finetuning on these trajectories improves LLMs of different families and sizes, from 2B to 122B parameters across four skill-use benchmarks; Our Qwen3.5-9B SFT model outperforms the 397B untrained model on two of them. Further analysis shows that training teaches agents to invoke skills, raising the rate of reading the relevant skill from 28% to 96%, and that the gains hold across reasoning structures, extending to task types that form a minority of the training data and to skills held out from training

How Can Recommendation Feedback Evolve Agent Memory?
推荐反馈如何推动智能体记忆的演变？
Abstract
Content-generation agents continuously receive impressions, clicks, conversions, and negative feedback from recommendation systems, providing real-world outcome signals for memory evolution. However, these signals are delayed and noisy, confounded by audience composition, placement, and recommendation policies, and may result from the combined influence of multiple memories, making accurate attribution difficult. Existing methods rely primarily on immediate feedback or semantic retrieval and therefore struggle to reliably translate recommendation outcomes into memory fitness. To address this challenge, we propose TIDE (Trajectory-Informed Directed Memory Evolution), an external memory evolution framework driven by delayed recommendation feedback. We further introduce Memory Evolution Gain (MEG), which measures the utility improvement of evolved memory over a no memory baseline on strictly future tasks. TIDE treats memory as a capacity-constrained population of experiences: temporal and semantic credit assignment estimates contextual fitness, while responsibility credit distributes outcome signals according to the memories referenced during generation. These signals are then used to reinforce, crossover, mutate, or evict memories. On an e-commerce membership marketing content-generation agent, TIDE achieves a +7.75-percentage-point MEG in offline temporal replay and significantly improves both unique click-through rate (UCTR) and activation rate in an online A/B test. On a delayed-label benchmark, TIDE achieves the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean squared error (RMSE) and the highest MEG among the compared methods, demonstrating its effectiveness.

Rational Clarification by Assistive Agents via Value-of-Information Reasoning
通过信息价值推理实现助理代理的合理澄清
Abstract
Users of language-based assistive agents often make ambiguous requests. In response, an assistant can either directly act on its interpretation of the request --- risking misalignment with the user --- or ask a clarifying question. Which option is the most safe and helpful? A common approach is to ask questions that minimize uncertainty about the user's intent until a threshold is reached. However, this neglects the impact of uncertainty reduction on downstream performance, the costs of asking versus acting immediately, and the possibility that users may provide corrections without being asked. To navigate these trade-offs, we introduce Rational Enquiry via Value-of-Information Reasoning (REVOIR). REVOIR makes clarification decisions via inference-time reasoning about the value-of-information of a question, which captures the expected improvement in task reward due to the answer received. In two assistive tasks --- ambiguous question answering (CondAmbigQA) and preference-aligned household task planning (ADAPT) --- we show that REVOIR achieves greater success with fewer questions than approaches based on prompting, chain-of-thought, fine-tuning, or information gain, improving preference satisfaction on ADAPT by 13-15% over a fine-tuned clarification policy while requiring no training and asking five times fewer questions. Furthermore, when the assistant can receive cheap user corrections after acting, REVOIR naturally infers that asking questions is not always efficient, demonstrating the adaptivity of our approach. In contrast, we find that vanilla reasoning agents fail to adaptively clarify user requests, and request fewer clarifications as reasoning effort increases.

语言基础的助理代理的用户经常会提出模糊的请求。作为回应，助理可以直接根据其对请求的理解采取行动——这可能导致与用户的不一致——或者提出澄清问题。哪种选择更安全且更有帮助？一种常见的方法是提出问题，以最小化对用户意图的不确定性，直到达到某个阈值。然而，这忽视了不确定性减少对后续表现的影响、立即行动与提问的成本，以及用户可能在未被要求的情况下提供更正的可能性。为了应对这些权衡，我们引入了通过信息价值推理的合理询问（Rational Enquiry via Value-of-Information Reasoning, REVOIR）。REVOIR通过推理时对问题信息价值的推理来做出澄清决策，该推理捕捉了由于收到的答案而导致的任务奖励的预期改善。在两个助理任务中——模糊问题回答（CondAmbigQA）和偏好对齐的家庭任务规划（ADAPT）——我们展示了REVOIR在提出更少问题的情况下取得了更大的成功，相较于基于提示、思维链、微调或信息增益的方法，REVOIR在ADAPT上提高了13-15%的偏好满足度，同时无需训练且提问次数减少了五倍。此外，当助理在行动后可以接收用户的低成本更正时，REVOIR自然推断出提问并不总是高效的，展示了我们方法的适应性。相比之下，我们发现普通推理代理未能适应性地澄清用户请求，并且随着推理努力的增加，提出的澄清请求减少。

FOCUS: Training-Free Decision-Preserving Context Compression for LLM Agents
FOCUS：无训练决策保留上下文压缩框架用于大型语言模型代理
Abstract
LLM agents accumulate interaction histories that grow linearly with task length, causing quadratic inference cost scaling and performance degradation from attention dilution. Existing context-compression methods learn what to discard offline: by contrastively optimizing guidelines, distilling compressors, or training compression policies. This incurs a substantial cost. Further, the compression policy is learned a priori and is not dynamically conditioned on the evolving test-time trajectories. In this paper we ask a complementary question: Which past interactions causally shape the agent's future decisions? We recast context compression as a causal decision preservation problem over discrete interaction units and introduce FOCUS, a training-free context compression framework that operates entirely at test time. Our method requires no offline data collection or fine-tuning, and is architecture-agnostic, attaching to any closed-API frontier model as a modular compression layer. We evaluate FOCUS on diverse agentic benchmarks including API and tool-calling, QA, web domain and multi-turn dialogue. Our method establishes new state of the art performance, cutting peak context by up to 48% and dependency by 73% while improving task success by up to 8.9 percentage points over uncompressed execution.

XU-RS: Explaining Credal Width in Random-Set Language Models
XU-RS：解释随机集语言模型中的可信宽度
Abstract
Uncertainty estimates tell us how unsure a model is, but not why. Without knowing which parts of an input influences a model's uncertainty, we cannot tell whether that uncertainty score depends on input features that are relevant for the task. We study this problem in randomset classifiers built using pretrained language models. These classifiers assign probability to individual answers and to groups of answers, producing lower and upper probabilities for each answer; The difference between these probabilities, called credal width, is used to represent epistemic uncertainty about an answer arising from limited training data. We propose XU-RS, a framework that attributes an answer's credal width to the input tokens (words or word pieces) supplied to a language model. XU-RS uses Expected Gradients (a standard feature attribution method) to estimate how input tokens contribute to credal width. The proposed framework is evaluated on a MedQA dataset using SmolLM3-3B and Llama-2-7B models, demonstrating that setting the embedding of a token ranked highly by XU-RS to zero (zero-masking) causes larger changes in credal width than zero-masking randomly selected tokens. In addition, we show that normalisation can cause other answer groups to influence an answer's width, reveal how token attribution can mask numerical errors, and provide diagnostic checks to verify whether a token ranked highly by XU-RS meaningfully explains model uncertainty.

不确定性估计告诉我们模型有多不确定，但无法说明原因。如果不知道输入的哪些部分影响了模型的不确定性，我们就无法判断该不确定性分数是否依赖于与任务相关的输入特征。我们在基于预训练语言模型构建的随机集分类器中研究这一问题。这些分类器为单个答案及答案组分配概率，分别产生每个答案的下界和上界概率；这两者的差值称为可信宽度（credal width），用于表示由于训练数据有限而产生的关于答案的认识论不确定性。我们提出了XU-RS框架，将答案的可信宽度归因于输入给语言模型的词元（单词或词片）。XU-RS采用期望梯度（Expected Gradients，一种标准的特征归因方法）来估计输入词元对可信宽度的贡献。我们在MedQA数据集上使用SmolLM3-3B和Llama-2-7B模型对该框架进行了评估，结果表明，将XU-RS高度排名的词元的嵌入置零（零掩码）会导致可信宽度的变化大于随机选择词元的零掩码。此外，我们展示了归一化可能导致其他答案组影响某一答案的宽度，揭示了词元归因如何掩盖数值误差，并提供了诊断检查方法，以验证XU-RS高度排名的词元是否有意义地解释了模型不确定性。

Flattening the Connectome Spectrum: A Spectral Filter for FC Induces a Pretraining Target for fMRI Encoders
扁平化连接组谱：一种用于功能连接性（FC）的谱滤波器为fMRI编码器引入预训练目标
Abstract
Self-supervised pretraining reshaped prediction in language and vision, and brain foundation models (BFMs) inherited its promise. Representations learned from large unlabelled corpora should capture individual functional dynamics and generalise across cohorts. However, kernel ridge regression (KRR) fitted on functional connectivity (FC) matrices still predicts individual phenotypes more accurately than any BFM we tested. In this paper, we show that KRR is weighted by the eigenvalues of the FC which are miscalibrated for phenotype prediction. We apply an efficient spectral filter to recalibrate the eigenvalues of each subject's FC matrix, enabling the model to exploit more inter-individual variance. Across the 5 datasets, 11 parcellations and 6 prediction targets we tested, we match or exceed the KRR baseline. Based on this finding, we then pretrain a small encoder model on about 4,000 hours of fMRI from 162 open datasets, whereby we align the pairwise similarities between the embeddings of recording snippets with those between the recalibrated connectomes. Our model performs on par with the best of the 6 published BFMs we tested while having an order of magnitude fewer parameters. Our encoder performs better than FC on short scans and in smaller cohorts, especially in fingerprinting. We release the pretrained model weights, the code and the pretraining data, preprocessed and parcellated.

Beyond a single latent space: a dual-latent world model for long-horizon planning
超越单一潜在空间：一种用于长时间规划的双潜在世界模型
Abstract
Latent world models often struggle with long-horizon planning despite accurate short-term predictions. Recursive rollouts accumulate errors, while distance concentration in high-dimensional latent spaces can weaken goal discrimination. We introduce the Dual-Latent World Model (Dual-WM), which separates local execution and long-range planning through distinct state representations and dynamics models. The low-level model predicts action-conditioned transitions, while the high-level model uses learned macro-actions to plan over longer temporal spans. We also propose Long-Horizon Representation Learning with Weighted Rollout (LoRe), which supervises self-generated predictions at both levels. An analysis of recursive error propagation motivates exponential horizon weights with separate decay rates for the two temporal scales. During planning, the high-level model generates latent subgoals that the low-level model refines into actions for precise execution. We evaluate from-scratch Dual-WM on five goal-conditioned visual control tasks against the task-wise strongest baselines without actor-guided proposals. At goal offsets of 50 and 100 environment steps, mean success increases from 75.9% to 84.4% and from 61.4% to 69.5%, respectively. At offset 100, Dual-WM outperforms these baselines on all five tasks and improves mean success over LeWM by 30.8 percentage points. Ablations and supporting analyses provide evidence of more informative representations for goal evaluation and greater consistency under recursive prediction. These results highlight the value of separating temporal roles and training across multiple horizons for reliable latent planning. Our core implementation is available at https://github.com/DeLin1001/Dual-WM-Official.

EnterpriseBench: Benchmarking LLM Agents on Enterprise-Level Strategic Reasoning and Decision-Making
EnterpriseBench：在企业级战略推理和决策中对LLM代理进行基准测试
Abstract
LLM agents are increasingly expected to support enterprise workflows, where tasks often involve missing information, uncertainty, feedback, and long-term trade-offs. However, existing enterprise and financial benchmarks mainly test static capabilities such as information extraction, numerical calculation, domain knowledge, and financial QA, leaving interactive and long-horizon decision-making underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce EnterpriseBench, a benchmark that evaluates LLM agents across this spectrum, from static question answering to dynamic decision-making. Specifically, EnterpriseBench reorganizes existing enterprise and financial QA datasets into a unified foundational suite annotated by capability and difficulty, and introduces three professional interactive settings: Consulting, based on management-consulting-style business cases for client problem diagnosis through multi-turn information seeking; the Beer Game, adapted from a classic supply-chain management simulation for inventory control under delayed feedback; and Enterprise Digital Twin, a project-based business simulator for workforce, risk, and project planning. Experiments with nine agent methods under four backbone models show that current agents have not yet achieved stable, comprehensive, and cross-task reliability in enterprise scenarios. These results show that EnterpriseBench provides a practical benchmark for evaluating LLM agents in realistic enterprise strategic reasoning and decision-making.

MeanFlowAdvantage: Stable Reward Fine-Tuning for Few-Step Average-Velocity Generators
MeanFlowAdvantage：用于少步平均速度生成器的稳定奖励微调
Abstract
MeanFlow enables efficient few-step generation by predicting interval-average velocities, but this representation creates a mismatch for reward fine-tuning: existing advantage-based objectives are typically defined on instantaneous velocities or equivalent $x_0$-space predictions, whereas inference directly uses the learned average-velocity map. We introduce MeanFlowAdvantage, a signed advantage-weighted least-squares objective for average-velocity generators. Our key construction uses a shared, detached MeanFlow derivative correction to express the reward objective in prediction space while making rollout and reference regularization exact penalties on the average-velocity network deployed at inference. The resulting formulation preserves MeanFlow's native few-step sampler and provides a direct mechanism for transferring reward improvements to the deployed flow map. On SD3.5-Medium, MeanFlowAdvantage improves all eight reported metrics over the matched four-step MeanFlowNFT baseline and, with only four NFEs, matches or exceeds the 40-step DiffusionNFT baseline on six of eight metrics. The same objective also transfers to DNA promoter design, where it supports both teacher-free on-policy RL for a generator defined on a manifold and teacher-guided reward-graded distillation, with the latter yielding the lowest one-step Sei profile MSE among the compared configurations.

KUPAS MASTER: Distilling the Tacit Expertise of Master Practitioners into Agent-Ready Experience Corpora
KUPAS MASTER：将大师实践者的隐性专业知识提炼为可供代理使用的经验语料库
Abstract
Experienced professionals know more than just facts and conclusions. They know which cues matter, why a judgment is reasonable, and which action to take. Routine work records often leave out this tacit knowledge, making it difficult for Large Language Model (LLM) agents to use professional experience effectively. We introduce KUPAS MASTER, an experience engineering platform built around nine-layer cognitive corpus construction. It turns heterogeneous work records and practitioner interviews into traceable, reusable experience corpora for agents. Six case elements preserve the task process: context, cues, judgment, action, boundaries, and outcomes. Nine-layer cognitive corpus construction organizes tacit experience along nine extraction dimensions and stores the resulting assets in six libraries: rules, constraints, best practices, negative examples, corner cases, and skills. Semantic alignment, individual experience distillation, organizational consolidation, and cross-review preserve source evidence, conditions of use, and unresolved disagreements. The platform packages these assets into callable skills with explicit inputs, steps, dependencies, and stopping conditions, connecting experience collection to task execution and evaluation feedback. Using authorized samples from 20 randomly selected practitioners, the platform processed 1,576 source files into 23,024 individual experience records and 13,113 organizational assets. The evaluation spans multiple professional domains. Under common task inputs and scoring criteria, the base model, raw corpus retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and KUPAS MASTER agent scored 70.63, 79.75, and 89.58, respectively. The KUPAS MASTER agent improved on raw-corpus RAG in all seven scoring dimensions. The platform provides a practical path from individual tacit experience to organizational knowledge and agent capabilities.

Learning from Shared-Control Overrides: Context-Driven Acceleration Profile Prediction for Personalized Overtaking
从共享控制覆盖中学习：基于情境驱动的个性化超车加速曲线预测
Abstract
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems are typically calibrated for an average driver, often resulting in a mismatch between vehicle behavior and individual expectations during time-critical maneuvers such as highway overtaking. When the ACC is perceived as too conservative and inconsistent, drivers intervene through throttle overrides, providing implicit feedback on the system's behavior. This paper reframes these override actions as human-in-theloop supervisory signals and proposes a data-driven framework for personalized vehicle adaptation, termed Context-driven Personalized ACC (CoP-ACC). Rather than relying solely on end-to-end regression, which tends to over-smooth dynamic responses, we introduce a hybrid pipeline combining: (i) unsupervised hierarchical clustering to extract representative acceleration profiles from override events; (ii) a context classifier that maps pre-maneuver driving conditions to the appropriate profile; and (iii) a residual regressor that refines the selected profile into a smooth, personalized acceleration profile tailored to the immediate context. Evaluated on real-world public-road data against a withheld forced-ACC baseline, the approach demonstrates high reconstruction fidelity and generates acceleration profiles that tend toward the driver's expected behavior in potential override contexts. The results highlight the potential of learning from shared-control overrides to enable anticipatory, personalized ACC behavior, reducing manual interventions and improving ride comfort.

We present EngiWorld, the first benchmark structured around the complete design loop: 1,301 expert-curated tasks spanning 6 engineering domains (CAD, CAE, CAM, BIM, EDA, and 3D visualization) and 26 professional software platforms, with both GUI and CLI interfaces and 6 task types ranging from software-selection to open-ended tasks. We further introduce an artifact-centric evaluation methodology built on a unified domain-verifier suite, which programmatically checks the geometric validity, physical feasibility, and rule compliance of final and intermediate artifacts, and scores quantitative design tasks continuously by specification attainment rather than binary success. Evaluation of seven frontier models reveals a substantial capability gap: the strongest model achieves an EngiScore of only 44.3, and just 3.6% of multi-software attempts succeed. EngiWorld provides the first rigorous foundation for measuring progress toward agents that operate professional engineering software end to end.

WISE-ATTA: When to Ask for Labels in Budgeted Active Test-Time Adaptation
WISE-ATTA：在预算主动测试时间适应中何时请求标签
Abstract
Active test-time adaptation (ATTA) improves robustness under distribution shift by updating a deployed model during inference while selectively querying supervision. However, most existing ATTA methods implicitly assume that supervision can be requested for every incoming test batch, which can incur substantial annotation cost over long test streams. In this work, we introduce \emph{budgeted ATTA} in which labels are available for only a fraction of test batches. This formulation shifts the central challenge from deciding \emph{what} to label within a batch to deciding \emph{when} supervision should be applied over time. To address this challenge, we propose a budget-aware approach \emph{WISE-ATTA} that allocates supervision over the test stream based on lightweight signals computed online, prioritizing periods where supervision is likely to be most useful. When a batch is selected for supervision, we further employ a drift-based sample selection criterion that targets samples exhibiting ongoing, unconverged adaptation dynamics, enabling effective updates from a single labeled example. We evaluate this approach on synthetic corruptions (ImageNet-C) and natural distribution shifts (ImageNet-R/K/A). Across settings, WISE-ATTA achieves competitive or improved performance compared to recent ATTA methods while requiring substantially fewer labels. Overall, we find that the timing of supervision is a key, yet underexplored, aspect of active test-time adaptation. Code: https://github.com/Muhammad-Huzaifaa/WISE-ATTA

主动测试时间适应（ATTA）通过在推理过程中更新已部署的模型并选择性地请求监督，从而提高在分布变化下的鲁棒性。然而，现有的大多数ATTA方法隐含地假设可以对每个传入的测试批次请求监督，这在长时间的测试流中可能会产生可观的标注成本。在本研究中，我们引入了 extit{预算ATTA}，在这种情况下，标签仅对一部分测试批次可用。这一表述将中心挑战从决定在批次内 extit{标注什么}转变为决定 extit{何时}在时间上应用监督。为了解决这一挑战，我们提出了一种预算感知的方法 extit{WISE-ATTA}，该方法基于在线计算的轻量级信号在测试流中分配监督，优先考虑监督可能最有用的时期。当选择一个批次进行监督时，我们进一步采用了一种基于漂移的样本选择标准，针对表现出持续、未收敛适应动态的样本，从而使得从单个标记示例中实现有效更新。我们在合成干扰（ImageNet-C）和自然分布变化（ImageNet-R/K/A）上评估了该方法。在各种设置中，WISE-ATTA在性能上与近期的ATTA方法相比具有竞争力或改善，同时所需的标签数量显著减少。总体而言，我们发现监督的时机是主动测试时间适应的一个关键但未被充分探索的方面。代码：https://github.com/Muhammad-Huzaifaa/WISE-ATTA

Locating Answer-Correctness Signals in Frozen Large Language Models
在冻结的大型语言模型中定位答案正确性信号
Abstract
Language models expose internal signals that predict whether an answer is correct, readable from a single forward pass of a frozen model without additional generations. Yet existing probes often commit to one signal family or layer and can be brittle under distribution shift; in retrieval-augmented settings, many specialized detectors instead target passage faithfulness, which can diverge from correctness when retrieved evidence is unhelpful or conflicting. We therefore ask where answer correctness is readable, which internal signal families carry it, and how they should be combined. We search over hidden states, token probabilities, residual-stream features, attention, and their fusion, treating the selected readouts as a predictive measurement rather than a mechanistic localization. We run this analysis separately in closed-book and with-context settings, since context can change which readouts are informative. A consistent anatomy emerges: correctness concentrates in the answer span, recovered from the answer tokens even under retrieval, and the families carry it complementarily, so fusing them helps most out of distribution, where a single signal is weakest. The protocol is effective across two backbones and gates a retrieval controller as one downstream use.

语言模型暴露出内部信号，这些信号可以预测一个答案是否正确，这些信号可以通过冻结模型的单次前向传播读取，而无需额外的生成。然而，现有的探测器通常只关注某一信号家族或层，并且在分布变化时可能表现脆弱；在增强检索的设置中，许多专门的检测器则针对段落的可信度，这在检索到的证据无用或相互矛盾时可能与正确性偏离。因此，我们探讨答案正确性可被读取的位置、哪些内部信号家族承载它，以及它们应如何结合。我们对隐藏状态、标记概率、残差流特征、注意力及其融合进行搜索，将所选的读取视为预测测量，而非机械定位。我们在闭卷和有上下文的设置中分别进行此分析，因为上下文可能改变哪些读取是有信息量的。一个一致的结构浮现：正确性集中在答案范围内，即使在检索下也能从答案标记中恢复，而这些信号家族则互为补充，因此融合它们在分布外的表现最佳，此时单一信号最弱。该协议在两个基础模型上均有效，并作为一种下游用途控制检索。

Generative Interactions: Weaving Multiparty Human Motion with Bilevel Latent Dynamics
生成交互：利用双层潜在动态编织多方人类运动
Abstract
Human social behaviour is not a collection of independent motions, but a jointly organised process in which group dynamics and individual variation continuously shape one another. Yet existing social motion models often prioritise plausible trajectories while leaving interaction state implicit, limiting their ability to transfer across groups, tasks, and partial-observation regimes. To address this gap, we introduce Bilevel Representations for Agent Interaction Dynamics (BRAID), a hierarchical sequential latent-variable model for generative multi-person interaction. BRAID explicitly formulates social motion generation as a meta-transfer learning problem: shared interaction priors are learned across datasets and adapted through arbitrary context sets of observed people and joints. The model represents each scene through a group-level latent state that captures shared interaction dynamics and person-level latent states that capture individual behaviour conditioned on the evolving group context. This modelling choice enables coherent generation under full, sparse, or partial observations while exposing compact social-state vectors that can serve as an interface for downstream embodied-agent systems. We evaluate BRAID under a unified SMPL-based representation on social forecasting, tracking and in-filling, and response generation, using metrics that assess not only reconstruction accuracy but also realism, diversity, temporal alignment, and interpersonal coordination. We further analyse the hierarchical latent space, showing that it captures separable group- and individual-level structure.

人类社会行为并不是独立运动的集合，而是一个共同组织的过程，其中群体动态和个体变异不断相互影响。然而，现有的社会运动模型往往优先考虑合理的轨迹，而将交互状态隐含，这限制了它们在不同群体、任务和部分观察条件下的迁移能力。为了解决这一问题，我们提出了代理交互动态的双层表示（Bilevel Representations for Agent Interaction Dynamics，BRAID），这是一种用于生成多人的交互的分层序列潜变量模型。BRAID明确将社会运动生成公式化为一个元迁移学习问题：在数据集之间学习共享的交互先验，并通过观察到的人和关节的任意上下文集进行适应。该模型通过一个群体级潜在状态表示每个场景，该状态捕捉共享的交互动态，以及捕捉基于不断变化的群体上下文的个体行为的人级潜在状态。这种建模选择使得在完全、稀疏或部分观察下能够进行一致的生成，同时暴露出紧凑的社会状态向量，可以作为下游具身代理系统的接口。我们在统一的基于SMPL的表示下评估BRAID在社会预测、跟踪和填充、以及响应生成方面的表现，使用的指标不仅评估重建精度，还包括现实性、多样性、时间对齐和人际协调。我们进一步分析了分层潜在空间，显示它捕捉了可分离的群体和个体级结构。

Context Language Models
上下文语言模型
Abstract
We introduce Context Language Models (CLMs), language models that natively manage their own context. We implement this by treating the context as a file and allowing the model to make unrestricted updates to this file. This allows the model to learn what is most important to maintain in context, and naturally extends to multi-agent systems where multiple agent contexts coexist as files. Building CLMs zero-shot with existing models outperforms SOTA context management strategies across a variety of tasks: 11.4% higher accuracy with 21.5% fewer FLOPs on BrowseComp-Plus, 5% higher scores with 59% fewer FLOPs on 12-hour EdgeBench, and 65% greater improvement with the same compute on a 24-hour multi-repository agent-swarm task. Moreover, by shifting context management from external harness control to intrinsic model behavior, CLMs naturally enable both in-context and parametric learning of context-management strategies. We show that CLMs can be steered with natural-language instructions evolved through a standard skill-optimization loop, improving held-out accuracy by up to 35.9 points on a context-management task while reducing compute. We also introduce an online reinforcement learning method for CLMs, improving Qwen3.5-9B performance on BrowseComp-Plus by 47.6% while using 12% fewer FLOPs. Finally, we co-design Suffix Cache Reuse for CLM serving, further reducing server-side compute by 35% relative to standard SGLang at matched performance.

Spatiotemporal Hyperedges for EEG Seizure Detection and Prediction
用于脑电图癫痫发作检测与预测的时空超边
Abstract
Seizure detection and prediction from EEG are clinically important but challenging because seizures are rare, temporally localized, and propagate as coordinated events across multiple channels. Recent dynamic graph neural networks model this by running a temporal model over a sequence of per-time-step pairwise channel edges. However, this pairwise construction misses the spatiotemporal coupling that constitutes a seizure, at substantial training cost. We propose HyBrain, which summarizes spatiotemporal EEG evidence through a small set of soft hyperedges rather than pairwise edges. A per-channel Mamba backbone produces one token per (channel, second), and a spatiotemporal hyperedge block pools these tokens into E_h shared group embeddings through soft memberships and broadcasts them back. The same encoder serves three downstream tasks: window-based detection, one-second point-wise detection, and preictal seizure prediction. On TUSZ and CHB-MIT, HyBrain achieves the best AUROC on every reported setting against ten baselines, with the largest gap on long-clip preictal prediction. It also matches the most efficient baselines in training time and peak GPU memory. A qualitative analysis shows that even a single learned hyperedge cleanly captures the preictal -> ictal -> postictal trajectory on a real seizure clip.

ContextRender: From Execution Dependencies to Agent Context
ContextRender：从执行依赖关系到代理上下文
Abstract
LLM agents performing long-horizon tasks accumulate tool results that later steps may need. Passing the full history to every invocation is costly even when it fits within the context window, while reducing it risks omitting needed information. Existing context management methods can overlook how earlier tool results are used in subsequent execution, leaving needed information out of context. We introduce ContextRender, which manages context through a persistent graph of execution dependencies. We develop Tool-Flow Analysis to track how later operations reuse information from earlier tool results, providing a signal called observed reuse. A renderer combines this signal with recency and semantic relevance to select results within a fixed history budget, retaining omitted results for later use. Across AppWorld and 8-objective QA with three execution models, ContextRender outperforms the evaluated context management baselines using a 6K history budget, well below the models' maximum context windows. Within this budget, it achieves task performance close to or above that of passing the full history while reducing mean inference cost by 10.2%-32.2% relative to Full history. Ablations show that observed reuse improves task performance and retention of results reused later.

执行长时间任务的LLM代理会积累后续步骤可能需要的工具结果。即使这些信息适合上下文窗口，将完整历史传递给每次调用的成本也很高，而减少历史则有可能遗漏所需信息。现有的上下文管理方法可能忽视早期工具结果在后续执行中的使用，从而使所需信息脱离上下文。我们提出了ContextRender，通过持久的执行依赖图来管理上下文。我们开发了工具流分析（Tool-Flow Analysis），以跟踪后续操作如何重用早期工具结果中的信息，提供一种称为观察重用（observed reuse）的信号。渲染器将该信号与新近性和语义相关性结合，以在固定的历史预算内选择结果，并保留遗漏的结果以供后续使用。在AppWorld和8目标问答（QA）以及三种执行模型的实验中，ContextRender在使用6K历史预算的情况下，超越了评估的上下文管理基准，且远低于模型的最大上下文窗口。在此预算内，其任务性能接近或超过传递完整历史的情况，同时相对于完整历史减少了10.2%-32.2%的平均推理成本。消融实验表明，观察重用提高了任务性能和后续重用结果的保留。

Cross-Entropy Guided Routing in Mixture-of-Experts Large Language Models
基于交叉熵引导的混合专家大语言模型路由
Abstract
Sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) large language models scale model capacity by routing each token to a small subset of experts. Their routers are regularized with load balancing terms and learn affinity scores through the language-model objective. However, these objectives do not provide direct alignment between routing affinities and token-level error. We introduce token-error supervision for sparse routing in two forms. The first form predicts an error score per expert. The affinity-weighted aggregate of these scores is aligned to the next-token cross-entropy loss, while the individual scores attenuate affinity before top-$K$ selection. The second directly aligns the router's affinities to the model's objective without requiring an additional head or inference-time modification. Both formulations use the Itakura--Saito divergence or an exponential negative log-likelihood for aligning affinities and token errors. Across two sparse MoE backbones and four multiple-choice question-answering benchmarks, we evaluate both supervision mechanisms. On Granite, our method improves accuracy by approximately 2.3 percentage points on average over a parameter-matched routing baseline. With stronger supervision, the gain on ARC-Challenge reaches 2.94 points. Both mechanisms preserve the native sparse execution budget and aggregation policy. Our code is available in the supplementary materials.

OmniVCBench: Benchmarking Evidence-Grounded Multimodal Reasoning Towards AI Virtual Cells
OmniVCBench：面向人工智能虚拟细胞的基于证据的多模态推理基准测试
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence Virtual Cells (AIVCs) are envisioned as scientific agents that simulate cellular responses, explain underlying mechanisms, and support hypothesis-driven discovery. Existing AIVC benchmarks, however, operate primarily at the simulation layer, motivating complementary evaluation of how models interpret experimental evidence and formulate biological hypotheses. We introduce OmniVCBench, a figure-centric, source-traceable benchmark for the interpretation component of an AIVC. It contains 6,077 curated single- and multi-subfigure question--answer pairs derived from figures and experimental contexts in the scientific literature. Guided by Bloom's taxonomy, we instantiate interpretation-layer counterparts of the AIVC Predict--Explain--Discover agenda through three scientific reasoning tasks. We further introduce AIVC-Judge, a task-conditioned MLLM-as-a-judge framework with category-specific, reference-aware rubrics for evaluating open-ended responses. A complementary Model-Derived Hard-Negative Mining (MDHNM) strategy converts plausible errors observed during model inference into MCQ distractors for lower-cost evaluation. Within the evaluated heterogeneous model pool, MCQ accuracy correlates positively with AIVC-Judge scores, providing a complementary view of performance alongside open-response evaluation.

Adam under Generalized Smoothness with Second-Moment-Type Stochastic Gradients
在广义光滑性下的 Adam 算法与二阶矩类型随机梯度
Abstract
Adam is widely observed to remain stable even when the objective deviates significantly from global smoothness. Under the generalized smoothness framework, however, existing analyses rely on strong tail assumptions on the stochastic gradients, such as almost-sure boundedness or sub-Gaussianity. Whether Adam converges on generalized smooth objectives under only second moment information on the stochastic gradients, without such concentration assumptions, was identified as an important open direction by Li et al. (2023). This paper gives an affirmative answer under fairly general conditions: such tail assumptions are not necessary. Building on the Adam self-normalization framework of Jin et al. (2026), developed for classical smoothness and bounded variance, we extend the stopping-time and de-preconditioning strategy to the $L_0$-$L_p$ generalized smoothness condition and a generalized second moment ABC condition. Even when the stochastic-gradient condition provides only second moment information that may grow along the trajectory, the stochastic trajectory of Adam remains in a locally well-behaved smoothness region, with stretched-exponential tail decay under bounded variance and global smoothness. Consequently, we establish high-probability convergence rate guarantees over the full range $p<2$, with confidence dependence of order $\delta^{-1/2}$, while the stepsize prefactor depends on $\delta$ only through a single logarithmic factor. We further construct a hard instance showing that, under only second-moment information, this $\delta^{-1/2}$-type confidence dependence is sharp. Finally, in the regime $p<1$, we combine the trajectory control with polynomial-growth estimates on rare events to obtain convergence rate guarantees in expectation.

研究表明，Adam 算法在目标函数显著偏离全局光滑性时仍然保持稳定。然而，在广义光滑性框架下，现有分析依赖于对随机梯度的强尾假设，例如几乎必然有界性或次高斯性。Li 等人（2023）指出，是否在仅依赖于随机梯度的二阶矩信息的情况下，Adam 算法能够在广义光滑目标上收敛，是一个重要的未解问题。本文在相当一般的条件下给出了肯定的答案：这些尾假设并不是必要的。基于 Jin 等人（2026）为经典光滑性和有界方差开发的 Adam 自归一化框架，我们将停止时间和去预处理策略扩展到 $L_0$-$L_p$ 广义光滑性条件和广义二阶矩 ABC 条件。即使随机梯度条件仅提供可能沿轨迹增长的二阶矩信息，Adam 的随机轨迹仍然保持在局部良好行为的光滑性区域内，在有界方差和全局光滑性下具有拉伸指数的尾部衰减。因此，我们在全范围 $p<2$ 上建立了高概率收敛速率保证，置信度依赖于 $ ext{order} \delta^{-1/2}$，而步长前因子仅通过单个对数因子依赖于 $ ext{delta}$。我们进一步构造了一个困难实例，表明在仅依赖于二阶矩信息的情况下，这种 $ ext{delta}^{-1/2}$ 类型的置信度依赖是尖锐的。最后，在 $p<1$ 的范围内，我们结合轨迹控制与稀有事件的多项式增长估计，以获得期望的收敛速率保证。

A neural network that maintains and retrieves memories based on context
一种基于上下文维持和检索记忆的神经网络
Abstract
Every day, people continuously infer situational context and adjust the way they understand and remember the world. Context, signaled by the prefrontal cortex, is known to modulate working memory and episodic memory, but the algorithmic understanding of this modulation remains limited. Here, we train a recurrent neural network (RNN), augmented with an episodic memory buffer, to infer context using Bayesian inference as it continuously makes predictions of upcoming scenes while watching naturalistic movies. When the inferred context modulates the RNN's recurrent connectivity (the basis of working memory) in a low-rank manner, the model's activity patterns best match neural responses in human participants who watched the same movies during fMRI. Context also modulates episodic memory retrieval, such that the model retrieves memories based on not only content similarity but also context similarity. This is implemented as a key-value system with self-attention, designed to additionally encode context and retrieve context-congruent memories. The resulting model not only better resembles human brain representations but also learns to retrieve memories like humans much faster than a model without context modulation. Together, our findings suggest a computational mechanism by which context modulates information maintenance and long-term memory retrieval in naturalistic environments.

DIET: Deletion-response Expert Trimming for Video Diffusion Transformers
DIET：针对视频扩散变换器的删除响应专家修剪
Abstract
Video diffusion transformers (DiTs) increasingly adopt mixture-of-experts (MoE) architectures to reduce active computation, but their full expert storage remains costly. Existing one-shot pruning criteria mainly rely on static activation or routing statistics and cannot capture layer-level re-routing after expert deletion. We introduce DIET, a training-free expert pruning framework based on deletion responses. A single all-expert calibration pass records expert outputs and router states for matched conditional and unconditional tokens. Candidate deletions are then replayed from cached tensors, requiring no additional model forward passes. The resulting deletion-response signatures characterize each expert by the changes induced when it is removed. DIET selects retained experts by minimizing Overall Diversity Loss (ODL), which preserves directional coverage in signature space, and combines intra-layer local search with an inter-layer regression-guided budget search to allocate experts across layers. On LingBot-Video 30B-A3B, pruning 50% of experts (6,144 to 3,072) reduces the checkpoint from 57 GB to 30 GB and enables single-card deployment on a 48 GB GPU without fine-tuning. Under a fixed 284-case VBench protocol, the VBench Total increases from 0.7941 to 0.8115. Across tested retention budgets, DIET consistently outperforms competitive pruning baselines adapted from large language models.

Can a Cacheable Decision Model Follow Rules?
可缓存决策模型能遵循规则吗？
Abstract
Certo is a small non-generative decision model (Qwen3-4B): it scores candidate actions from their text and returns a probability, instead of generating an answer. The accurate design reads the state, the rules, and each candidate together (a joint scorer), so cost grows with the menu. Independent encoding lets each candidate be encoded once and reused across states (about 5x cheaper at 77 candidates), but separates state from candidate. We ask how much rule-sensitivity survives that move, and whether it can be trained back. Four experiments on Certo: (1) the tested conversion to cacheable scoring loses rule-sensitivity (recall@1 1.00 -> 0.24) while the joint scorer holds 1.00, and a shortlist+rerank rescue fails; (2) targeted counterfactual supervision restores strong performance on held-out synthetic rule tasks (paraphrase, counterfactual, composition; reproducible across seeds), though we do not isolate whether predictions depend on the supplied rule; (3) on real rules the added benefit is not established -- after fixing a truncation confound, the joint scorer wins significantly on the short tier (0.861 vs 0.500) and directionally on the hard tier (0.655 vs 0.483, n=29); (4) a matched cross-domain real-prose mixture did not help and reduced contract accuracy (-9.3, -16.2 points).

Certo 是一个小型非生成性决策模型（Qwen3-4B）：它根据文本对候选动作进行评分并返回概率，而不是生成答案。其精确设计能够同时读取状态、规则和每个候选项（联合评分器），因此成本随着菜单的增加而增长。独立编码使每个候选项只需编码一次，并可在不同状态间重用（在 77 个候选项时成本大约降低 5 倍），但将状态与候选项分离。我们探讨在这一变动中，规则敏感性能保留多少，以及是否可以重新训练回来。对 Certo 进行了四项实验：（1）测试转换为可缓存评分时，规则敏感性下降（recall@1 从 1.00 降至 0.24），而联合评分器保持在 1.00，短名单+重排序的救助失败；（2）针对性反事实监督在保留的合成规则任务上恢复了强劲的表现（同义改写、反事实、组合；在不同种子下可重复），尽管我们未能确定预测是否依赖于提供的规则；（3）在真实规则上，附加的好处尚未确立——在修正了截断混淆后，联合评分器在短层显著获胜（0.861 对 0.500），在难层方向上也有所领先（0.655 对 0.483，n=29）；（4）匹配的跨领域真实散文混合未能提供帮助，并降低了合同准确性（-9.3，-16.2 分）。可缓存编码器可以在其训练分布上变得对规则敏感，但对未见来源的真实规则的迁移尚未确立；联合评分器在缓存成本的情况下保持优势。

Mixture of Self-Improving Branches For Agent Harness Optimization
自我改进分支的混合用于代理优化
Abstract
Harness optimization provides a practical setting for recursive self-improvement (RSI), where agent-generated modifications inform subsequent changes through execution feedback. Recent work such as Meta-Harness implements this process through iterative code generation and evaluation, but retains a fixed development set and proposal policy. These constraints channel evolution along a single search trajectory, increasing the risk of converging to a local optimum. We make the improvement process itself adaptive by organizing search into branches with evolving development subsets and proposal policies. Each branch retains development cases solved by more of its leading harnesses than by those of other branches, drops cases solved by every leading harness across all branches, and revises its proposal policy using its own search history. To deploy the resulting complementary harnesses, we propose a router to select one development-selected branch head for each new input before execution. Across mathematical reasoning and agentic coding benchmarks, our system achieves relative improvements over Meta-Harness of 34.8% on Olympiad-level mathematical reasoning, 11.6% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, and 3.8% on SWE-bench Lite, with harness selection and router configuration based solely on development data. These results show that evolving branch objectives and proposal policies can yield complementary harnesses whose strengths a router combines without access to test outcomes.

优化代理提供了一个递归自我改进（RSI）的实际场景，其中代理生成的修改通过执行反馈来指导后续的变化。近期的研究如 Meta-Harness 通过迭代代码生成和评估实现了这一过程，但保留了固定的开发集和提案策略。这些限制使得演化沿着单一搜索轨迹进行，增加了收敛到局部最优解的风险。我们通过将搜索组织为具有不断演变的开发子集和提案策略的分支，使改进过程本身具有适应性。每个分支保留由其领先的代理解决的开发案例数量多于其他分支的案例，剔除所有分支的每个领先代理解决的案例，并利用自身的搜索历史修订提案策略。为了部署生成的互补代理，我们提出了一种路由器，在执行之前为每个新输入选择一个开发选择的分支头。在数学推理和代理编码基准测试中，我们的系统在奥林匹克级数学推理上相较于 Meta-Harness 实现了 34.8% 的相对提升，在 Terminal-Bench 2.0 上提升了 11.6%，在 SWE-bench Lite 上提升了 3.8%，而代理选择和路由器配置完全基于开发数据。这些结果表明，演变的分支目标和提案策略可以产生互补的代理，其优势由路由器在没有访问测试结果的情况下进行组合。

Active Budget Can Kill Sensitivity: Diagnosing and Repairing TopK Sparse Autoencoder Reliability
主动预算可以消除敏感性：诊断与修复 TopK 稀疏自编码器的可靠性
Abstract
Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are increasingly scaled to wider dictionaries to recover fine-grained structure from large language model activations. However, a feature is useful for interpretation only if it remains a stable unit of analysis when the same meaning is expressed in different surface forms. We study this reliability question for TopK SAEs via feature sensitivity. Experiments demonstrate that scaling selectively reduces the sensitivity of rare features, while common features remain comparatively stable. A controlled width\(\times k\) factorial experiment identifies the active budget k as the root cause: the degradation arises from the selection boundary rather than dictionary width alone. We attribute this failure to the geometry of TopK selection. The active margin, the distance to the cutoff, predicts feature loss without thresholds. Guided by this margin diagnosis, we introduce pairwise rank stabilization. Our method targets ordering failures at the cutoff and improves rare-feature sensitivity by \(8.83\) percentage points, while keeping reconstruction and alive-feature coverage near the baseline. Overall, our results suggest that wide TopK SAEs should be evaluated not only by reconstruction, sparsity, and feature count, but also by feature reliability under semantic variation and boundary geometry for stable interpretability.

稀疏自编码器（SAEs）正越来越多地扩展到更广泛的字典，以从大型语言模型的激活中恢复细粒度结构。然而，特征只有在相同意义以不同表面形式表达时仍然是一个稳定的分析单元时，才对解释有用。我们通过特征敏感性研究 TopK SAEs 的可靠性问题。实验表明，选择性扩展减少了稀有特征的敏感性，而常见特征则保持相对稳定。一个控制宽度×k 的因子实验确定了主动预算 k 是根本原因：降级源于选择边界，而不仅仅是字典宽度。我们将这一失败归因于 TopK 选择的几何特性。主动边际，即到截止点的距离，能够在没有阈值的情况下预测特征损失。在这一边际诊断的指导下，我们引入了成对排名稳定化。我们的方法针对截止点的排序失败，提高了稀有特征的敏感性，提升了 8.83 个百分点，同时保持重构和活跃特征覆盖率接近基线。总体而言，我们的结果表明，宽广的 TopK SAEs 应该不仅通过重构、稀疏性和特征数量进行评估，还应考虑在语义变化和边界几何下的特征可靠性，以实现稳定的可解释性。

Co-PiLOT: Constrained Physics-Informed Latent Optimization for Target-Driven Inverse Design
Co-PiLOT：针对目标驱动逆向设计的受限物理信息潜在优化
Abstract
Inverse design of physical systems (molecules, devices, microstructures) often reduces to optimizing a high-dimensional structure against an expensive black-box simulator. Direct search is difficult because the space is non-Euclidean, feasibility is hard to encode, and each evaluation is expensive. We present Co-PiLOT, a latent optimization approach that maps candidates through a generative encoder-decoder, uses the decoder as a learned validity prior, and searches the latent space with physics-informed black-box optimization. The framework is applied on the inverse design of magnesium alloy microstructure/texture. We develop a vision transformer based-encoder; paired with latent diffusion, diffusion transformer and rectified-flow transformer-based decoders on $\sim80{,}000$ EBSD-derived microstructure dataset to learn a minimal bottleneck, $z$. The ViT-FMDiT model ($z$=$768$) reconstructs high-fidelity microstructure images (FID $27.86$, MS-SSIM $0.178$), which our self-segmenting orientation codec converts into input grids for crystal plasticity solver. Finally, we introduce MERIDIAN, an active latent optimizer driven by deep-kernel Gaussian-process uncertainty, failure-aware feasibility prediction, manifold-aware trust regions, and target-aware acquisition. Within a budget of $160$ simulations, the ViT-FMDiT and MERIDIAN combination yields the best target-driven objective score, reducing the relative target error by $3$--$22\%$ against seven baselines (DANTE, TuRBO, BAxUS, CMA-ES, DDOM, SEIKO, DDPO) on the same decoder.

Guide, Then Let Go: Gap-Adaptive Teacher Scheduling for Sparse-Reward Agentic RL
指导后放手：稀疏奖励自主强化学习的间隙自适应教师调度
Abstract
Reinforcement learning for long-horizon agents typically relies on sparse outcome-based rewards. This leads to a severe cold-start problem, as early-stage policies often fail to solve sampled tasks, leaving little useful reward signal for learning. To mitigate this problem, we use on-policy distillation (OPD) to provide token-level guidance on the student's own rollouts. We find that the benefit of this guidance depends on the performance gap between the teacher and the student. When the teacher substantially outperforms the student, distillation helps guide the student through the early training stage where outcome rewards provide little learning signal. As the gap narrows and eventually reverses, however, continued distillation becomes less beneficial and may hinder further improvement. Motivated by this observation, we propose Gap-Adaptive Teacher Scheduling (GATS), which augments the student's RL objective with an OPD term whose weight adapts to the teacher-student performance gap. Specifically, GATS gradually reduces teacher guidance as the student approaches the teacher's reference performance and withdraws it once that reference is reached. This enables GATS to leverage task-trained teachers smaller than the student, since teacher guidance is primarily needed during early training. Across ALFWorld, WebShop, and ScienceWorld with three Qwen2.5 teacher-student configurations, GATS achieves the highest average success rate among the compared methods in all three configurations, improving over reward-only GRPO by 4.37%-11.87% under matched student rollout budgets.

长时间跨度的代理强化学习通常依赖于稀疏的基于结果的奖励。这导致了严重的冷启动问题，因为早期阶段的策略往往无法解决采样任务，留下很少有用的奖励信号用于学习。为了解决这个问题，我们使用在线策略蒸馏（On-Policy Distillation, OPD）为学生的自我回放提供标记级别的指导。我们发现这种指导的好处取决于教师与学生之间的表现差距。当教师的表现显著优于学生时，蒸馏有助于指导学生度过早期训练阶段，此时结果奖励提供的学习信号很少。然而，随着差距的缩小并最终反转，持续的蒸馏变得不那么有利，甚至可能阻碍进一步的改进。基于这一观察，我们提出了间隙自适应教师调度（Gap-Adaptive Teacher Scheduling, GATS），它通过一个OPD项增强学生的强化学习目标，该项的权重会根据教师与学生的表现差距进行调整。具体而言，GATS在学生接近教师的参考表现时逐渐减少教师指导，并在达到该参考表现后撤回指导。这使得GATS能够利用比学生小的任务训练教师，因为教师指导主要在早期训练阶段是必要的。在ALFWorld、WebShop和ScienceWorld的三种Qwen2.5教师-学生配置中，GATS在所有三种配置中实现了最高的平均成功率，相较于仅依赖奖励的GRPO，在匹配的学生回放预算下提高了4.37%-11.87%。代码可在 https://github.com/Ricardo-H/guide-then-let-go 获取。

You Cannot Pick a Provider From the Price List: Market-Aware Routing for Open-Weight LLM Inference
不能仅从价格列表中选择提供者：面向市场的开放权重大语言模型推理路由
Abstract
Existing LLM routers choose among models using static per-model costs. We show that open-weight inference markets introduce a second, largely ignored decision axis: after choosing a model, a client must still choose which provider serves it. Measuring live endpoints across [nummodels] open models, competing providers, multiple task types, and three measurement waves, we find that provider choice cannot be inferred from the price list. The same model can vary sharply in quality, latency, availability, and price across providers; higher-priced providers are consistently faster, but price does not reliably predict quality or availability; and provider feasibility is task-selective, with one deployment nearly normal on knowledge tasks but catastrophically degraded on multi-step reasoning. We formulate same-model provider selection as a price-taker market-aware routing problem. A simple measured-map policy routes to the cheapest provider that is both quality-equivalent and healthy, yielding matched-quality savings while avoiding degraded endpoints. Because the map drifts, we introduce FACET, an online provider router that certifies per-(provider x task) feasibility facets and fails safe to an anchor before serving uncertified arms. Across relaxed deployment assumptions, FACET tolerates imperfect task assignment and sparse feedback, while systematic evaluator bias exposes a quality-signal trust boundary that can be mitigated with ground-truth probes or audits. Live provider runs further confirm that certification can move real traffic from a premium anchor to a substantially cheaper certified endpoint. Our results suggest that market-aware LLM routing must measure not only which model to use, but also who serves it.

Pixels to Keys: Exploring Spatial and Motion Cues in Gameplay Inverse Dynamics
从像素到按键：探索游戏中的空间和运动线索与逆动态
Abstract
Video games offer scalable environments for studying perception and control in embodied agents.Abundant online gameplay videos could supply demonstrations, but they rarely include player inputs for training. Inverse Dynamics Models (IDMs) have thus been proposed to infer inputs from frames. Large (up to 1B parameters) IDMs trained on $\sim$1K-2K gameplay hours demonstrate feasibility and cross-environment generalization at this scale, but researchers do not clarify what the key components are to recover individual actions and often report only aggregate accuracy that can mask rare-action failures. We study the problem in a data-constrained scenario to evaluate how spatial motion features, model architectures, and training objectives affect an IDM's outcome and we analyse our models on per-key and balanced metrics such as $F_1^{macro}$. Our experiments on Trackmania highlight the importance of factors like the model architecture and motion flow extraction in preprocessing, while also showing the limits of evaluation through unbalanced metrics. The application of the same architecture and training recipe to Cyberpunk 2077 reveals uneven performance across game mechanics. Our per-action evaluation and failure analysis highlight ambiguities from camera motion, delayed effects and imbalanced key-press frequencies that call for explicit modeling of 3D scene structure, long-term state and the adoption of proper losses in future implementations.

GRFBrain: Graph-Structured Rectified Flows for EEG Dynamic Modeling
GRFBrain：用于脑电图动态建模的图结构修正流
Abstract
Forecasting time-varying functional connectivity from electroencephalography (EEG) requires modeling both history-dependent trends and structured variability across channels. Conditional flow matching provides a framework for distributional forecasting, yet it remains unclear whether graph-informed source distributions offer practical advantages over isotropic noise and strong deterministic predictors. We introduce a graph-structured residual flow framework that separates conditional mean prediction from stochastic residual transport. A history-only predictor estimates the future connectivity graph, while a graph Gaussian source encodes dependencies derived from past connectivity through a Laplacian-based covariance. A conditional velocity field transports source samples to future graph residuals, with transport time explicitly distinguished from physical EEG time. Our study identifies the conditions and controls needed to distinguish useful residual transport from improvements attributable to deterministic prediction, learned representations, and sampling effects.

Video-RSI: Recursive Self-Improvement of Video Understanding Agents via Harness Evolution
视频-RSI：通过执行演化实现视频理解智能体的递归自我改进
Abstract
Video understanding agents acquire evidence through an executable harness that controls what they observe and how they use those observations. However, execution traces contain only the evidence acquired by the current harness, leaving competing explanations for failure unresolved and limiting the basis for self-improvement. We introduce Video-RSI, a framework for recursive self-improvement in which a video understanding agent uses its own language model to revise its harness. Through active video investigation, the model revisits the original training videos to test competing failure explanations with additional observations, grounding proposed changes in evidence beyond the existing trace. Cost-aware harness evolution turns these diagnoses into reusable revisions and determines which revisions to retain by considering both answer accuracy and visual cost. Across our evaluation settings on video understanding benchmarks, the evolved agent improves accuracy while processing fewer frames and achieves competitive accuracy-efficiency trade-offs against existing video understanding agents. These results demonstrate the potential for video understanding agents to improve their own evidence acquisition and use through harness evolution.

Topological Coherence for Self-evolving Multi-agent Systems
自演化多智能体系统的拓扑一致性
Abstract
Complex tasks inherently couple workflow structure, agent responsibility, collaboration, and memory access: task regions delimit responsibility and tool scope, cross-region dependencies give rise to handoffs, and ownership boundaries delimit private and selectively shared memory. Existing methods can jointly optimize agent and communication structures, yet such optimization does not by itself require responsibility, handoff, and memory boundaries to remain consistent with task dependencies. We term this requirement topological coherence. We introduce TOCOMAS, a Topology-Coherent Multi-Agent System. TOCOMAS grounds a task graph in tool interfaces, organizes compatible task nodes into reusable responsibility domains, and derives dependency-induced and profile-conditioned collaboration together with boundary-regulated memory visibility. During online self-evolution, TOCOMAS proposes coupled changes to agent, collaboration, and memory policies, retaining for subsequent tasks only candidates that satisfy structural constraints and improve evaluated reward. Across BBEH, WorkBench, SWE-Bench-Verified, and CoMemBench, TOCOMAS improves task success over baselines across backbones. CoMemBench also shows gains over the self-evolving baseline in verified progress, handoffs, and memory isolation.

Abstract
Brain networks characterize structural and functional relationships among brain regions and support research on cognition, brain disorders, and brain-computer interfaces. Their time-varying topology and higher-order spatiotemporal dependencies are not adequately represented by conventional static networks. Existing tools primarily focus on static connectomes and provide limited integration of dynamic network modeling with modern graph and sequence learning methods. We present BrainNet Studio, an integrated toolkit for static and dynamic brain network analysis. It provides a unified workflow encompassing network construction, feature extraction, predictive modeling, candidate biomarker identification, visualization, and assisted interpretation. The toolkit integrates 27 algorithms, including deep learning, graph neural networks, and spatiotemporal sequence models, to support classification and the identification of discriminative brain regions and connections. A large language model generates researcher-verifiable summaries of functional connectivity, structural connectivity, and structure-function coupling at individual and group levels. Within a consistent computational framework, users can configure analytical tasks, compare methods, inspect outputs, and extend functionality without repeatedly assembling application-specific pipelines. BrainNet Studio provides a practical and extensible platform for connectome analysis in cognitive neuroscience, exploratory studies of brain disorders, and brain-computer interfaces. The toolkit is publicly available at https://github.com/xbrainnet/Brainnet-Studio.

SelfSearch: Reward-Free Search for Self-Improving Agents
SelfSearch：无奖励自我改进代理的搜索
Abstract
Advances in the coding capabilities of LLM agents allow them to inspect and modify their own instructions, tools, and execution procedures. Existing approaches use this ability to search for improved agents through repeated downstream evaluation, which incurs substantial costs and ties the search to the evaluated tasks. We introduce \textbf{SelfSearch}, a reward-free search procedure in which agents modify themselves using records of previous self-improvement episodes. These records capture the reasoning, tool actions, and outcomes of earlier modification attempts, providing concrete experience for improving both task solving and self-modification. Without downstream reward signals during search, SelfSearch improves population-mean success over the initial agent in all six model--benchmark settings, with individual agents gaining up to 11.2 percentage points on Terminal-Bench 2.1. On SWE-bench Multilingual, an agent improves success by \textbf{5.0} percentage points while reducing execution cost by \textbf{38.5}\% on tasks solved by both the initial and evolved agents. SelfSearch achieves competitive task success with evaluation-guided search baselines at lower search cost. With only \textbf{\$4.03} in search cost, it produces a harness that solves \textbf{82.0}\% of Terminal-Bench 2.1 tasks with DeepSeek V4 Flash under the settings of a public nine-harness comparison, matching the top-scoring harness, Codex. These results suggest that experience gained through self-modification can improve agents' downstream capabilities and efficiency.

KV-Kaizen: Learning Context-Adaptive Cache Compression Choices
KV-Kaizen：学习上下文自适应的缓存压缩选择
Abstract
As the context size of text processed with an LLM grows, the size of KV caches can outstrip the memory allocated for the original model weights. This impacts LLM throughput negatively, since decoding is memory-bound and decode cost grows with cache size. Recent work alleviates this bottleneck by discarding the least relevant tokens. Eviction introduces a tension, since a one-off decision to discard content may prove detrimental later. Instead, we focus on alternative choices that can lead to cache compression without evicting tokens. We achieve this by learning a selector that is able to produce, based on context, a per-layer cache configuration towards an overall compression budget. The selector operates along three axes: sharing one cache across layers (depth), caching at fewer bits (precision), or truncating the low-rank latent cache representations (rank). We call the resulting method KV-Kaizen, for the many small per-layer choices it compounds. We observe that these interventions taken independently and uniformly over all layers limit achievable compression because they degrade accuracy. Crucially, composing them locally and adaptively to the context can instead preserve accuracy while achieving large memory savings. At inference, the selector runs once, before pre-fill. In evaluations on instruction following and reasoning tasks, our selectors reach the Pareto frontier of accuracy against cache size, against learning-free and post-hoc baselines. On long-context tasks, KV-Kaizen improves on eviction and can be composed with it, reaching a 32x smaller decode-time cache on a 14B model while preserving accuracy. A 4x cache size reduction incurs no accuracy degradation from 7B parameters up, and a compressed model is more accurate than a smaller uncompressed one with the same cache size.

随着使用大型语言模型（LLM）处理的文本上下文大小的增加，KV 缓存的大小可能超过为原始模型权重分配的内存。这对 LLM 的吞吐量产生了负面影响，因为解码过程受限于内存，并且解码成本随着缓存大小的增加而增加。近期的研究通过丢弃最不相关的标记来缓解这一瓶颈。驱逐引入了一种紧张关系，因为一次性决定丢弃内容可能在后续阶段造成不利影响。相反，我们专注于可以在不驱逐标记的情况下实现缓存压缩的替代选择。我们通过学习一个选择器来实现这一点，该选择器能够根据上下文生成每层的缓存配置，以满足整体压缩预算。该选择器沿三个轴线操作：在层之间共享一个缓存（深度）、以更少的位数进行缓存（精度）或截断低秩潜在缓存表示（秩）。我们将这种方法称为 KV-Kaizen，因为它结合了许多小的每层选择。我们观察到，这些干预措施如果独立且均匀地应用于所有层，会限制可实现的压缩，因为它们会降低准确性。至关重要的是，局部且自适应地组合这些选择可以在实现大幅内存节省的同时保持准确性。在推理时，选择器在预填充之前运行一次。在对指令跟随和推理任务的评估中，我们的选择器达到了准确性与缓存大小之间的帕累托前沿，相较于无学习和后期基线。在长上下文任务中，KV-Kaizen 在驱逐上有所改进，并且可以与之组合，在保持准确性的同时，在一个 14B 模型上实现 32 倍更小的解码时间缓存。对于 7B 参数以上，4 倍的缓存大小减少不会导致准确性下降，并且压缩模型的准确性高于在相同缓存大小下的小型未压缩模型。综合来看，这些发现支持对大型模型进行预训练，并在此之后再进行压缩。

Which Attention Heads are like the Human Head? Not the Ones that Compute
哪些注意力头与人类头脑相似？不是那些进行计算的头
Abstract
Brain-AI alignment is often interpreted as a sign that model and brain perform similar computations. Whether the aligned units are causally involved in model computation is rarely checked. On an abstract pattern-completion task (AAABAAA $\rightarrow$ B), we compare LLM attention-head representations with human EEG and test how ablating those heads affects task performance. Alignment and causation dissociate: brain-aligned heads contribute to performance, but their removal is substantially less disruptive than removal of heads selected via attribution patching. We compare two head sets that prior interpretability work defines without reference to the brain: concept vectors (CVs), which represent abstract patterns across formats, and function vectors (FVs), selected for their contribution to correct-answer prediction. Brain alignment shows little association with FV scores, while its association with CV scores varies across models. Among brain-aligned heads, we find recurring attention profiles: one emphasizes distinctive elements (novelty heads), the other repeating elements (repetition heads). The novelty family tracks salience and attends to the same elements that humans look at, yet its removal is less damaging than random ablation on average. Repetition heads contribute modestly to performance and are associated with abstract-pattern representation (CVs). Across 17 models spanning 3B-72B parameters, FV-ranked removal is substantially more disruptive than brain-ranked removal. Brain alignment thus captures how the model reads the stimulus, and only faintly captures how it represents the pattern and solves the task.

Diagnosing and Improving Probabilistic Reasoning in Large Language Models
诊断和改善大型语言模型中的概率推理
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly proposed as decision assistants who must reason probabilistically from available evidence under explicit decision costs. We propose a decision-theoretic framework that decomposes LLMs' decision loss into two components: forming accurate beliefs from provided evidence and translating those beliefs into actions that optimize a provided utility function. Using a synthetic benchmark with known ground truth, we apply the decomposition to characterize probabilistic reasoning in frontier and open-sourced models. We further evaluate whether RL interventions targeting beliefs, decisions, or both improve these components across three domains, whether improvements transfer across components and elicitation formats, and whether decision performance can improve without improvement in belief formation. We find that targeting one component of probabilistic reasoning redistributes decision loss, improving the target without necessarily transferring to others, and that jointly targeting belief formation and decision-making improves both but hinges on matched formats between training and evaluation.

大型语言模型（LLMs）越来越被提议作为决策助手，必须在明确的决策成本下根据可用证据进行概率推理。我们提出了一个决策理论框架，将LLMs的决策损失分解为两个组成部分：从提供的证据中形成准确的信念，以及将这些信念转化为优化给定效用函数的行动。通过使用已知真实值的合成基准，我们应用该分解来表征前沿和开源模型中的概率推理。我们进一步评估针对信念、决策或两者的强化学习（RL）干预是否能改善这三个领域中的这些组成部分，改善是否能在组件和引导格式之间转移，以及决策性能是否可以在信念形成没有改善的情况下提高。我们发现，针对概率推理的一个组成部分会重新分配决策损失，改善目标组件而不一定转移到其他组件，并且共同针对信念形成和决策制定可以同时改善两者，但依赖于训练和评估之间的格式匹配。

HARISSA: Inference-Time Self-Checks for Efficient and Safe Local Language Model Deployment
HARISSA：高效安全的本地语言模型部署中的推理时自检
Abstract
Running a language model locally offers advantages in privacy, latency, and cost, but local hardware fits only small models, which are less capable than frontier models. The usual remedy for a hard query, escalating it to a cloud model, gives up the privacy and cost advantages of running locally. A deployment that stays local faces two decisions for hard queries instead. First, it can spend more computation on a query, e.g., reasoning before answering, which raises accuracy at a cost in latency, so it must decide which queries are worth the extra computation (efficiency). Second, some queries are beyond the local model, and delivering a wrong answer is worse than deferring the query to a human in the loop, so it must decide which answers are safe to deliver (safety). We show that both decisions can be made from the model's own hidden states. The prefill state, computed before any token is generated, predicts whether the model will answer correctly, and the answer state, at the end of the generated answer, predicts whether that answer is correct. HARISSA fine-tunes the model so that both states predict correctness, then makes both decisions with one policy that cascades through the ways of answering from cheapest to most expensive, skipping a way the prefill state predicts will fail and deferring the query when the answer it stops with is predicted wrong. On a device running a single model, HARISSA is within one accuracy point of chain-of-thought at 2.7 times lower latency. On a server holding four sizes of one model, HARISSA is more accurate than the FrugalGPT and Self-REF cascades at the same latency, and at the same deferral rate the answer state leaves fewer wrong answers than the standard confidence signals in five of six task and setting pairs.

Brain-SAD: A Brain-Inspired Safe Autonomous Driving Control Framework with Dynamic Fear-Oriented Constraint on Dual-Policy
Brain-SAD：一种基于大脑启发的安全自主驾驶控制框架，具有动态恐惧导向约束的双策略
Abstract
Constrained Reinforcement Learning has recently gained increasing attention in the field of Safe Autonomous Driving, where the general mechanism is to maximize the expected reward while keeping the overall action risk bounded. In this way, the safety issues arising in AD can be mitigated through constrained actions. However, existing Constrained RL methods still lack dynamics on the imposed constraints. For instance, the action cost adopted by the existing Primal-Dual/soft-constrained methods is often defined as static state-to-cost mapping, and the safe-action projection in hard-constrained methods relies on the static projection with the fixed feasible region boundary estimated from offline demonstrations. The above drawback tightly couples the imposed constraints to the training scenarios, leaving the AD policy hard to handle different interaction scenarios, due to the improper state-level action-cost and the static projection boundary. Consequently, in this paper, we propose Brain-SAD, a brain-inspired safe autonomous driving control framework with dynamic fear-oriented constraints. By perceiving the current vehicle-interaction scene, Brain-SAD generates dynamic fear signal as fear reaction to online decide long-term policy for regular interaction or short-term policy for urgent-collision defense. In such two policy, the above fear-reaction will be constructed as the dynamic fear constraints, respectively reflecting the overall fear cost directly coupled with action-impact, and the dynamic fear boundary of the feasible region derived from different risky neighbors, both of which will in turn serve for the online policy optimization. Experimental results show that Brain-SAD outperforms existing methods, achieving higher success rate in shorter task-completion and collision-recovery time, and exhibits stronger reliability across continuous intersections of fluctuating complexity.

约束强化学习最近在安全自主驾驶领域引起了越来越多的关注，其一般机制是在保持整体行动风险受限的同时最大化期望奖励。通过这种方式，可以通过约束行动来减轻自主驾驶中出现的安全问题。然而，现有的约束强化学习方法在施加的约束上仍然缺乏动态性。例如，现有的原始-对偶/软约束方法采用的行动成本通常被定义为静态的状态-成本映射，而硬约束方法中的安全行动投影依赖于从离线演示中估计的固定可行区域边界的静态投影。上述缺陷将施加的约束与训练场景紧密耦合，使得自主驾驶策略难以处理不同的交互场景，因为不恰当的状态级行动成本和静态投影边界。因此，本文提出了Brain-SAD，一种具有动态恐惧导向约束的基于大脑启发的安全自主驾驶控制框架。通过感知当前的车辆交互场景，Brain-SAD生成动态恐惧信号，作为对在线决策长期策略（用于常规交互）或短期策略（用于紧急碰撞防御）的恐惧反应。在这两种策略中，上述恐惧反应将分别构建为动态恐惧约束，直接反映与行动影响紧密耦合的整体恐惧成本，以及源自不同风险邻域的可行区域的动态恐惧边界，这两者将反过来服务于在线策略优化。实验结果表明，Brain-SAD优于现有方法，在较短的任务完成和碰撞恢复时间内实现了更高的成功率，并在复杂性波动的连续交叉口中展现出更强的可靠性。

PE-EK-PINN: Physics Embedding with Evolving Kernel for Scalable Physics-Informed Neural Networks
PE-EK-PINN：具有演化核的物理嵌入可扩展物理信息神经网络
Abstract
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) embed governing equations into deep learning, but enforce them only through loss residuals, leaving highly oscillatory wave behavior to be discovered by optimization. As a result, methods that achieve relative $L_2$ errors below $10^{-3}$ on standard manufactured Helmholtz benchmarks can fail on practical radiation problems involving singular excitations, absorbing boundaries, and wave fields spanning tens of wavelengths. Architectural physics embedding addresses this limitation by factorizing the field into analytically derived oscillatory kernels and learnable envelopes. However, the kernel dictionary must be manually constructed and scales with the number of elementary units, growing exponentially with the depth of hierarchically structured systems such as antenna arrays and metasurfaces. We propose PE-EK-PINN (Physics Embedded with Evolving Kernels), which treats physics kernels as reusable learned representations rather than fixed analytical inputs. A converged subsystem field is frozen and promoted to an evolved kernel, whose transformed copies are reused to represent higher-level configurations without deriving new governing equations. The resulting hierarchy makes the peak number of active kernels independent of system size and reduces cumulative training cost from $O(N)$ to $O(\log N)$. Experiments on dipole arrays, composite line-source geometries, and cross arrays demonstrate the dramatic training cost reduction, while achieving a reduced or comparable relative $L_2$ error. One notable example is PE-EK-PINN solves a $256$-dipole array more than 30 times faster than direct PE-PINN.

Retrieval-Augmented Skill Optimization via Cross-Harness Adaptation
通过跨环境适应的检索增强技能优化
Abstract
An agent skill is a reusable, actionable natural-language artifact that guides an agent to perform a task effectively under a given harness. Recent studies have explored the optimization of agent skills, contributing to a growing collection of publicly available skills spanning diverse tasks, domains, and harnesses. Despite millions of publicly shared skills, existing skill optimization methods largely overlook this accumulated knowledge, instead relying solely on expensive agent rollouts to iteratively refine skills for a target task. To address this, we propose \textbf{Retrieval-Augmented Skill Optimization (RASO)}, a framework that leverages an external skill corpus as prior knowledge throughout skill optimization. RASO retrieves relevant knowledge from existing skills and adapts it to the target task and harness via Cross-Harness Adaptation, accounting for mismatches in both domain and harness. RASO comprises two complementary stages: \textbf{Retrieval-Augmented Skill Initialization (RASI)} constructs a knowledge-grounded initial skill without requiring agent rollouts, while \textbf{Retrieval-Augmented Skill Update (RASU)} iteratively refines the skill by retrieving external knowledge guided by execution feedback. Across four agent benchmarks and two models, extensive experiments show that RASO consistently outperforms baselines without retrieval-augmented skill initialization and updating.

UserProxyBench: Evaluating LLM User Simulators for Agent Benchmarks and Training
UserProxyBench：评估用于代理基准和训练的LLM用户模拟器
Abstract
Interactive agent benchmarks and multi-turn reinforcement learning increasingly place a second language model in the role of the user. This simulated user controls what information the agent receives and when, yet current benchmarks score only the agent and do not directly measure whether the user correctly executed its assigned role. We introduce UserProxyBench, an evaluation layer over the tau-bench family, and the User Fidelity Score (UFS), which measures adherence to the benchmark's private user instructions using task-grounded rubric criteria scored independently of agent success. Holding the agent fixed at GPT-5.5 and varying only the user proxy across 375 enterprise tasks changes mean task reward by 15.2 points, while 24.4% of successful episodes contain a user-specification violation. The dominant failure is premature disclosure: users provide information before it is requested. This behavior has little effect on task reward, yet among successful episodes it causes the agent to make 1.06 fewer tool calls on average, changing the interaction being evaluated while preserving the reward. Finally, across seven proxies we identify an empirical cost-fidelity frontier, enabling practitioners to select the least expensive simulator that satisfies a required fidelity level.

Probability is Not Enough: Exploring and Counting Divergent Tokens for Reasoning Uncertainty Quantification in LLMs
概率不足：探索和计数大语言模型推理不确定性量化中的分歧标记
Abstract
As the chain-of-thought reasoning capabilities of large language models improve, evaluating and calibrating their reasoning confidence is becoming increasingly important for quantifying the uncertainty of their answers. Current methods for estimating the confidence of large language models are generally based on probabilities of selected key tokens, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Our pilot study finds that replacing selected token probabilities with coarse substitutes can also improve calibration, motivating us to further explore effective signals of model confidence. We introduce Divergent Token Confidence (DTC), a framework that estimates confidence by counting tokens at which two models strongly disagree during decoding. DTC identifies these divergent tokens using the Jensen-Shannon divergence between next-token distributions evaluated along the same reasoning trajectory. We find that their count is almost negatively associated with answer accuracy, thereby serving as a simple yet effective signal for uncertainty quantification. DTC supports both white-box and black-box evaluation using auxiliary models, without explicit training and affecting the generation process. Experiments across multiple model families and six mathematical benchmarks demonstrate improved calibration over probability-based and verbalized baselines. Under white-box evaluation, the count-only estimator achieves an average expected calibration error of 13.0%, compared with 32.7%-42.4% for standard full-sequence confidence methods. In black-box settings, it also improves calibration over the original verbalized scores. For example, mean expected calibration error falls from 32.1%-40.2% to 13.7%-16.3% on DeepSeek-V3.2. These findings provide new insights for improving reasoning uncertainty quantification in large language models. The code is released at https://github.com/szu-tera/DTC.git.

随着大语言模型的思维链推理能力的提升，评估和校准其推理信心对于量化其答案的不确定性变得愈发重要。目前，估计大语言模型信心的方法通常基于所选关键标记的概率，但其基本机制仍不清晰。我们的初步研究发现，用粗略替代品替换所选标记概率也可以改善校准，这激励我们进一步探索模型信心的有效信号。我们引入了分歧标记信心（Divergent Token Confidence, DTC）框架，通过计数在解码过程中两个模型强烈不一致的标记来估计信心。DTC使用在相同推理轨迹上评估的下一个标记分布之间的詹森-香农散度来识别这些分歧标记。我们发现，这些标记的数量与答案准确性几乎呈负相关，因此作为一个简单而有效的不确定性量化信号。DTC支持使用辅助模型进行白盒和黑盒评估，无需显式训练且不影响生成过程。在多个模型系列和六个数学基准上的实验表明，相较于基于概率和口头表达的基线，DTC在校准方面有显著改善。在白盒评估中，仅计数的估计器实现了13.0%的平均预期校准误差，而标准的全序列信心方法则为32.7%-42.4%。在黑盒环境中，它也改善了原始口头表达分数的校准。例如，在DeepSeek-V3.2上，平均预期校准误差从32.1%-40.2%降至13.7%-16.3%。这些发现为改善大语言模型中的推理不确定性量化提供了新的见解。代码已发布在https://github.com/szu-tera/DTC.git。

Character Training for Risk-Averse Agents
风险厌恶代理的角色训练
Abstract
Risk aversion in resources could prevent misaligned AI agents from causing catastrophic harm. Misaligned but risk-averse agents would tend to favor safer strategies like making deals with humans over riskier strategies like rebelling. We train agents to be risk averse through character training, finding that persona traits provide a robust mechanism for instilling risk preferences. To do this, we construct a model constitution describing constant absolute risk aversion (CARA) over an agent's resources and instill it through on-policy distillation. Despite never seeing the benchmark's decision format during training, character-trained models are competitive with baselines trained directly on it, and generalise better than them out of distribution on two of our four models. We also modulate different aspects of the constitution, finding that token budget and model choice are the most influential aspect of character training to instill risk aversion. We conclude from these results that character training is a promising and scalable way to instil broad dispositions, which we can use to our advantage in mitigating risk from misaligned AI agents.

NeuronEye: Query-Guided Visual Concept Activation for Vision-Language Reasoning
NeuronEye：基于查询引导的视觉概念激活用于视觉-语言推理
Abstract
Current vision-language models (VLMs) encode visual information in dense hidden states where object identity, spatial layout, and local attributes are implicitly entangled rather than explicitly disentangled, limiting their ability to isolate and modulate the specific visual evidence required by a given language query. Inspired by sparse population coding and top-down modulation in biological vision, we introduce NeuronEye, a plug-in framework that constructs a sparse, concept-level neuron vocabulary from intermediate VLM representations and selectively activates query-relevant visual concepts during inference. NeuronEye decomposes vision-token states into an overcomplete sparse basis organized by concept-level clusters, uses the language query to activate relevant clusters and localize the patches where selected concepts are expressed, and injects the focused evidence back into vision tokens. A complementary suppression mechanism attenuates dominant perceptual directions to preserve weaker but relevant cues. All operations run in a single forward pass over a frozen VLM backbone. On Qwen2.5-VL-7B, NeuronEye raises CV-Bench overall accuracy by +3.1 with gains of +9.5 on Distance, and improves BLINK Multi-view by +8.3, with similar trends on LLaVA-1.6-7B. These results suggest that sparse neuron vocabularies can serve not only as post-hoc interpretability tools but also as active interfaces for concept-level visual reasoning.

Do LLM Agents Execute the Plans They Declare? From Planning-Mode Declaration to Pattern-Specific Execution
大型语言模型代理是否执行其声明的计划？从规划模式声明到特定模式执行
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) enable agents to solve long-horizon tasks by generating a plan and then executing it in an environment. However, successful planning requires two distinct capabilities: selecting an appropriate plan for the task and executing it faithfully. Existing planner--executor systems can fail at either stage, while final task success alone cannot distinguish selection from execution failures. We therefore study the Plan Declaration--Execution Gap and introduce Planning-as-Routing, where an LLM declares one of four planning modes: Predefined, Sequential, Hierarchical, or Search, and a deterministic router dispatches the task to the corresponding pattern-specific executor. Across four benchmarks and three LLMs, we find three consistent patterns. First, generic Plan+ReAct often fails to preserve declared planning structure, especially for longer plans: across three benchmarks, only (22)--(45%) of trajectories preserve it, whereas pattern-specific executors enforce the intended structure. Second, planning-mode effectiveness varies across environments and models: Search performs best on ALFWorld, Hierarchical on SWE-bench, and the strongest pattern can vary across models within the same benchmark. Third, the largest gains come from execution: pattern-specific executors improve task success from (0.48) to (0.92) on ALFWorld and from (0.36) to (0.44) on SWE-bench Verified over Plan+ReAct. Current LLMs, however, do not reliably select the strongest mode for each task, although few-shot examples improve selection in some benchmark--model combinations. Overall, reliable agent planning requires both effective mode selection and faithful execution: routing substantially closes the execution gap, while task-specific mode selection remains open.

大型语言模型（LLMs）使代理能够通过生成计划并在环境中执行该计划来解决长期任务。然而，成功的规划需要两种不同的能力：为任务选择合适的计划和忠实地执行该计划。现有的规划-执行系统在任一阶段都可能失败，而最终任务成功本身无法区分选择失败与执行失败。因此，我们研究了计划声明-执行差距，并引入了规划作为路由（Planning-as-Routing），在该方法中，LLM声明四种规划模式之一：预定义（Predefined）、顺序（Sequential）、层次（Hierarchical）或搜索（Search），并由一个确定性路由器将任务分派给相应的特定模式执行器。在四个基准测试和三个LLM中，我们发现了三种一致的模式。首先，通用的Plan+ReAct往往无法保持声明的规划结构，尤其是在较长的计划中：在三个基准测试中，只有（22%）到（45%）的轨迹保持了该结构，而特定模式的执行器则强制执行预期结构。其次，规划模式的有效性在不同环境和模型中有所不同：搜索在ALFWorld上表现最佳，层次在SWE-bench上表现最佳，而同一基准测试中最强的模式可能因模型而异。第三，最大的收益来自执行：特定模式的执行器在ALFWorld上将任务成功率从（0.48）提高到（0.92），在SWE-bench上从（0.36）提高到（0.44），超越了Plan+ReAct。然而，当前的LLM并不能可靠地为每个任务选择最强的模式，尽管少量示例在某些基准-模型组合中改善了选择。总体而言，可靠的代理规划需要有效的模式选择和忠实的执行：路由显著缩小了执行差距，而任务特定的模式选择仍然是一个未解决的问题。

Stochastic World Models for Verifying Vision-Based Neural Feedback Systems
用于验证基于视觉的神经反馈系统的随机世界模型
Abstract
Verifying a vision-based neural feedback system requires a model of the observations its controller acts upon. Such a model must capture the variation the sensor produces, while remaining tractable for closed-loop analysis. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have served as perception surrogates, but they are large, reproduce complex scenes poorly, and are hard to verify. We explore stochastic world models as a richer class of perception surrogates. We train a world model with physically grounded latents, built from operations that standard verifiers bound. It reproduces held-out frames more faithfully than GAN surrogates with up to 130 times as many parameters. To verify these surrogates, we develop a procedure that combines falsification, adaptive refinement, symbolic, and backward analyses. On an emergency braking benchmark with a GAN surrogate, our procedure resolves the entire state space, 38% of which the state-of-the-art verifier left unresolved.

AdviSD: Learning to Advise Frontier LLMs via Targeted Multi-Turn Self-Distillation
AdviSD：通过针对性的多轮自蒸馏学习为前沿大型语言模型提供建议
Abstract
A small trainable advisor can steer a frozen language-model executor using natural-language advice. In addition to learning from task rewards, the advisor can use feedback from completed interactions to improve its advice. However, a plausible correction need not change execution, yet learning from such corrections can still affect the advisor's future decisions in other contexts. In a shared-parameter model, we prove that such corrections can limit learning if their targets favor useful advice less strongly than those of other corrections. Keeping them less often than the rest improves the model's eventual performance compared to learning from every correction. Motivated by this, our method, Advisor Self-Distillation (AdviSD), pairs outcome-based reinforcement learning with self-distillation from a feedback-conditioned copy of the advisor selectively. Reflection proposes corrections, and the advisor scores the same recorded executor response with and without its issued advice, using the magnitude of the difference to select decisions for supervision. This approach does not require executor likelihoods or additional executor rollouts. Experiments with Qwen3-8B advisors for Gemini and Claude show that AdviSD outperforms advisor-GRPO by 4.2-6.4 percentage points on BFCL-v3 and by 3.9-5.1 score points on EnvScaler. The trained advisors generalize to out-of-domain tasks and transfer across different executor versions and model families. AdviSD also beats matched-count random selection, supporting the value of its selection rule.

一个小型可训练的顾问可以通过自然语言建议来引导一个冻结的语言模型执行器。除了从任务奖励中学习外，顾问还可以利用已完成交互的反馈来改善其建议。然而，一个合理的修正不一定需要改变执行，但从这些修正中学习仍然可以影响顾问在其他上下文中的未来决策。在共享参数模型中，我们证明如果修正的目标对有用建议的偏好不如其他修正强烈，则这些修正可能限制学习。相比于从每个修正中学习，减少对这些修正的依赖可以提高模型的最终性能。基于此，我们的方法，顾问自蒸馏（AdviSD），将基于结果的强化学习与从反馈条件的顾问副本中选择性自蒸馏相结合。反思提出修正，顾问对同一记录的执行器响应进行评分，比较有无其建议的情况，利用差异的大小选择监督决策。这种方法不需要执行器的可能性或额外的执行器回滚。针对Gemini和Claude的Qwen3-8B顾问的实验表明，AdviSD在BFCL-v3上比顾问-GRPO提高了4.2-6.4个百分点，在EnvScaler上提高了3.9-5.1分。经过训练的顾问能够推广到领域外任务，并在不同的执行器版本和模型家族之间进行迁移。AdviSD还优于匹配计数的随机选择，支持其选择规则的价值。

Learning Meta-Skills for Agent Harness Design in Test-Time AI4AI
在测试时AI4AI中学习代理工具设计的元技能
Abstract
Agent performance depends on both reasoning ability and the environment in which it acts. We study test-time AI-for-AI, asking how a Builder can learn to construct better execution environments for a Target while both models' weights remain fixed. To make the Builder's experience reusable, we introduce Meta-Skill: principles specifying when support is needed and what resources to provide. The Builder learns these principles from Target's execution feedback on the development set, then uses the frozen skill bank to construct harnesses for unseen tasks. Across Harness-Bench and NewtonBench, full-bank meta-skills improve macro-average performance by 8.95 percentage points over no-skill construction, and 12.02 points over direct delivery of the same bank to the Target. These results highlight the value of translating experience into executable support. Gains when the same model serves both roles further suggest a path to system level self-improvement through learning to build better environments.

Thinking Before Thinking: Scaling Agentic Inference Through Meta-Reasoning
思考之前的思考：通过元推理扩展自主推理能力
Abstract
As agents take on longer and more complex problems, controlling the execution becomes a task in its own right. Each step in the run brings new control choices, like which partial work to build on, whether to start fresh, or when to stop. We introduce agentic meta-reasoning, an inference-time harness that makes these choices an explicit and structured reasoning process. Workers carry out the task-level computation, while a controller consolidates what the run has established, explores next options, assesses what each option is worth under the remaining budget, and dispatches the chosen work with context drawn from persistent memory. Between decisions the controller carries only a compact account of the run rather than replaying its full history. Our baselines span production coding agents and research harnesses, together with a Direct Control Agent using the same workers and compute budget allowance. On ProgramBench, which tests long-horizon agentic capability through program reconstruction, meta-reasoning achieves 71.5% with GPT-5.5 against 58.0% for Codex; with Opus 4.8 it achieves 67.2% against 65.5% for Claude Code. On the other benchmarks, spanning abstract reasoning, multi-domain long-horizon reasoning, and proof generation, it gains between 3.6 and 4.2 points over direct control, averaged across three frontier models. It keeps improving over the tested budget ranges where direct control plateaus, though its overhead can hurt at small budgets. Artifact-graph analysis reveals more reuse of earlier work, higher coverage of correct solutions in most settings, and nonuniform gains in final selection. These results indicate that spending computation on structured control becomes more important as agents scale to longer runs.

FD-VAD: Semantic Endpoint Detection for Streaming Full-Duplex Speech
FD-VAD：用于流式全双工语音的语义端点检测
Abstract
Natural turn-taking in full-duplex voice interaction requires determining from partial speech whether a pause reflects hesitation or a completed conversational intent. Acoustic voice activity detection lacks this semantic information, while cascaded ASR-based endpointing introduces transcription dependence and additional processing stages. We formulate semantic endpoint detection as a causal audio-language reasoning task and introduce FD-VAD, an ASR-free streaming endpointer that maps bounded causal audio windows directly to Continue/Stop decisions. FD-VAD combines a frozen speech encoder with a lightweight modality adapter and a parameter-efficiently adapted language model, using a last-chunk training objective for streaming inference. We further introduce confidence-gated endpoint commitment to control interruption versus delay and boundary-focused hard-negative sampling to improve decisions around ambiguous turn boundaries. Across in-domain and conversational evaluations, FD-VAD outperforms strong streaming and non-streaming semantic turn classifiers, and achieves the highest EOT recall among qualifying systems on TurnBench dev set $0.853$ (at FP<=0.10) in a zero-shot setting. These results show that semantic endpointing can be performed directly from streaming audio without intermediate ASR or dialogue state tracking.

Sieve and Sage: Efficient Distraction Filtering for Reliable RALM Abstention
筛选与智者：可靠的检索增强语言模型（RALM）弃权的高效干扰过滤
Abstract
Just as Socrates recognized the limits of his own knowledge, Retrieval-Augmented Language Models (RALMs) should learn to abstain when the retrieved evidence cannot support a reliable response. Existing approaches largely rely on monolithic LLMs to handle heterogeneous retrieval failures in a single step, resulting in limited abstention performance and high computational costs. We instead decompose retrieval failures into two distinct states: (i) the unanswerable state, where the required evidence is absent, and (ii) the distracted state, where relevant evidence is mixed with conflicting, negated, or adversarial information. Based on this decomposition, we introduce a lightweight module (Sieve) that screens retrieved document sets for distracting evidence before invoking a costly LLM (Sage) for grounded generation and abstention. Evaluated across both general and high-stakes expert domains, our Sieve and Sage framework preemptively detects distracting noise, improving system accuracy by up to 69.4 percentage points and Macro-F1 by 55.2 percentage points compared to one-stage baselines. Furthermore, it achieves up to a 1.99x speedup, establishing a highly efficient and reliable abstention pipeline for RALM with abstention.

Developing an OCR model for Extracting Information from Invoices with Korean Language
开发用于提取韩语发票信息的OCR模型
Abstract
Invoices are commercial documents that contain various pieces of information, including the purchased items, time, and total money. Making the extraction of important information crucial. The stored information serves different purposes. Korean language is the native language of about 80 million people, playing an important role in not only South and North Korea but also in many other countries such as Vietnam, Philippine where a large number of Korean companies are located. In this context, to automatically extract proper information from the invoices with Korean language, we propose an efficient Optical Character Recognition (OCR) model in which a deep learning model is combined with some image preprocessing techniques. The proposed OCR model is assessed in a rich set of collected invoices showing that 87% F1-score can be achieved with negligible time processing.

Evaluating the Effects of Prompt Perturbation on Bias and Hallucination in Large Language Models
评估提示扰动对大型语言模型中的偏见和幻觉的影响
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in various natural language processing tasks, leading to their widespread deployment as intelligent assistants in decision-making contexts. However, the increasing complexity of these models raises concerns about their reliability, particularly regarding bias and hallucination. In this work, we evaluate the robustness of LLMs to perturbed variations of the original inquiry in decision-making tasks. We show that contrary to previous studies, perturbations can mitigate bias and hallucination in some LLMs over other models. It's found that Claude 3 is more effective for the tasks represented in most datasets, whereas models like GPT3.5 exhibit varying levels of adequacy, performing comparably in some cases but falling significantly behind in others. These insights are crucial for understanding the practical implications of deploying LLM-based assistants as effective decision-support tools in real-world applications, emphasising the need for rigorous testing and validation to ensure reliability and effectiveness. This study contributes to the growing body of research on LLM evaluation and provides insights for developing more robust and trustworthy AI assistants in critical decision-making contexts.

Alignment Forecasting: Predicting Misalignment From Training Data
对齐预测：从训练数据中预测不对齐
Abstract
Training a language model on data with a narrow flaw can sometimes make the model broadly misaligned. Inspecting the data at face value often does not settle whether it will emerge, and today it is caught only after training, by auditing the resulting model. To complement post-hoc audits, we introduce Alignment Forecasting: the task of predicting alignment failures before training. Given a target model, a fine-tuning dataset, and a failure mode such as deception or sycophancy, a forecaster outputs the probability that fine-tuning would meaningfully increase that failure mode. To measure progress on alignment forecasting, we introduce ALIGNMENTFORECASTBENCH, a benchmark of over 5,000 forecasting questions spanning 17 target models, 32 datasets, and 16 failure modes. Frontier models prompted directly perform poorly on ALIGNMENTFORECASTBENCH. We therefore propose a forecasting scaffold in which an LLM reads the dataset and rates how strongly and broadly it pushes the model toward misbehavior, and a simple learned model combines that rating with the failure mode's base rate and the target model's prior tendency. This forecasts well above chance, and beats a model fine-tuned on the task and a simple forecaster allowed to see how weaker models behaved after fine-tuning on the same data. Its signals also flag problematic training examples that a frontier-model classifier misses. Filtering those examples out from real post-training data such as UltraChat results in more aligned models on our multiple-choice evaluation in most cases, though the benefit in open-ended conversations is unclear. More progress is needed before forecasts can reliably guide training data curation in practice, but our results suggest that forecasting many alignment failures before training can be tractable in the SFT setting.

在数据中存在狭窄缺陷的情况下训练语言模型，有时会导致模型整体不对齐。仅仅从表面上检查数据往往无法确定这种不对齐是否会出现，而目前只有在训练后通过审计生成的模型才能发现这一问题。为了补充事后审计，我们提出了对齐预测（Alignment Forecasting）：在训练之前预测对齐失败的任务。给定一个目标模型、一个微调数据集和一个失败模式（如欺骗或谄媚），预测者输出微调会显著增加该失败模式的概率。为了衡量对齐预测的进展，我们引入了ALIGNMENTFORECASTBENCH，这是一个包含超过5000个预测问题的基准，涵盖17个目标模型、32个数据集和16种失败模式。直接提示的前沿模型在ALIGNMENTFORECASTBENCH上的表现较差。因此，我们提出了一种预测框架，其中一个大型语言模型（LLM）读取数据集并评估其在多大程度上推动模型朝向不当行为，以及一个简单的学习模型将该评估与失败模式的基准率和目标模型的先前倾向结合起来。这种方法的预测结果显著高于随机水平，并且优于在该任务上进行微调的模型以及一个简单的预测者，该预测者可以观察到较弱模型在同一数据上微调后的表现。其信号还标记出前沿模型分类器遗漏的问题训练示例。从真实的后训练数据中过滤这些示例（如UltraChat）在大多数情况下会导致模型在我们的多项选择评估中更为对齐，尽管在开放式对话中的好处尚不明确。在实践中，仍需更多进展才能使预测可靠地指导训练数据的整理，但我们的结果表明，在SFT设置中，训练之前预测许多对齐失败是可行的。

From Lexical Baselines to Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation: Structured Skill and Responsibility-Level Extraction with the SFIA Framework
从词汇基线到自主检索增强生成：基于SFIA框架的结构化技能与责任级别提取
Abstract
Automated skill extraction underpins workforce planning, yet most systems represent skills as flat labels with no notion of the responsibility level at which a skill is practiced. The Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA) captures exactly this dimension, defining 147 professional skills across seven responsibility levels, but no automated LLM-based extraction targeting SFIA has been reported. We formalize the task as structured prediction of (skill, level) pairs from free text and ask three questions: how accurately can text be mapped onto SFIA's closed vocabulary, which strategies reliably predict the level alongside the skill, and do agentic designs improve on simpler retrieval and prompting? We evaluate five strategies (a lexical baseline, dense retrieval with LLM reranking, a zero-shot schema-constrained LLM, single-agent agentic RAG, and a three-agent retriever--matcher--verifier crew) against expert-mapped European ICT role profiles, all drawing on an SFIA~9 corpus built by a fully automated agentic pipeline that we release. Retrieval-based matching identifies the most skills while generative strategies are markedly more precise; only strategies assigning the level as an explicit decision predict it reliably, with similarity-based selection more than twice as inaccurate; and the crew doubles latency without improving accuracy, so added agent roles do not automatically benefit closed-taxonomy matching. These results provide the first reproducible baseline for structured, level-aware skill extraction against SFIA.

Environment Steering: Using Data Flow Control to Improve Agent Utility and Safety
环境引导：利用数据流控制提高智能体的效用和安全性
Abstract
LLM agents can make unsafe tool calls even when instructed to behave safely. Existing defenses constrain agents before execution, modify tool inputs/outputs, or rely on LLM judges; these approaches may depend on model behavior or block unsafe actions without helping the agent recover. We argue that the execution environment should instead enforce safety as the agent runs and steer it toward safe alternatives when violations occur---we call this Environment Steering. We implement this by modeling the agent and harness execution state as database tables, track the record-level data flows, and check these data flows against declarative policies during runtime. When violations are detected, policy- and context-specific feedback steers the agent toward safe trajectories. On AgentDyn, this enables the agent to improve task success rate over no-defense while achieving 0% attack success rate.

When Successful Memories Mislead Embodied Agents:Memory Adaption For Task-Conditioned Execution
成功记忆如何误导具身智能体：任务条件执行的记忆适应
Abstract
Experience reuse can reduce repeated exploration in embodied agents, but a trajectory that succeeded previously may be unsuitable for the current execution context. Existing memory systems pri marily optimize construction and retrieval; semantic relevance and historical success therefore remain insufficient when retrieved ex perience contains incompatible actions or an inappropriate level of structure. We introduce Memory Adaptation for Task-Conditioned Execution (MATE), a deterministic post-retrieval procedure that converts trajectories into execution-oriented memory. MATE re moves obsolete control context, extracts condition-action-effect transitions, applies verified action normalization, selects a task dependent representation, and serializes the result under a fixed budget without additional LLM inference. On 134 ALFWorld tasks, MATE achieves task success rates of 81.3% and 93.3% with Qwen2.5-14B and 72B while using approximately one-tenth of the tokens required by raw trajectories. Controlled comparisons show that verified action normalization is the principal mechanism by which MATE restores the utility of retrieved experience, support ing memory adaptation as a distinct stage between retrieval and embodied execution.

经验重用可以减少具身智能体的重复探索，但先前成功的轨迹可能不适合当前的执行环境。现有的记忆系统主要优化构建和检索；因此，当检索到的经验包含不兼容的动作或不适当的结构水平时，语义相关性和历史成功性仍然不足。我们提出了任务条件执行的记忆适应（Memory Adaptation for Task-Conditioned Execution，MATE），这是一种确定性的后检索程序，将轨迹转换为面向执行的记忆。MATE 移除过时的控制上下文，提取条件-动作-效果转换，应用经过验证的动作归一化，选择任务依赖的表示，并在固定预算下序列化结果，而无需额外的 LLM 推理。在 134 个 ALFWorld 任务中，MATE 在使用大约十分之一原始轨迹所需的标记的情况下，分别达到了 81.3% 和 93.3% 的任务成功率，使用的是 Qwen2.5-14B 和 72B。受控比较表明，经过验证的动作归一化是 MATE 恢复检索经验效用的主要机制，支持记忆适应作为检索与具身执行之间的一个独特阶段。

Can Multimodal Large Language Models Generate and Detect Multimodal Social Media Fake News?
多模态大型语言模型能否生成和检测多模态社交媒体虚假新闻？
Abstract
The rapid advancement of generative AI raises concerns about the misuse of Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) for large-scale disinformation campaigns on social media. Despite existing research on textual disinformation, a fundamental question remains unanswered: can MLLMs be exploited to fabricate realistic multimodal fake news, and can they reliably detect it? We introduce a multi-agent framework in which a story agent, an image agent, and a critic agent collaborate to produce fake social media posts that plausibly counter true news. We apply the framework to generate over 9,000 paired multimodal news posts across science, health, and entertainment domains, and benchmark 16 open- and closed-source MLLMs for automated detection. We find that most models fall substantially short of human-level accuracy and fail critically on identifying image authenticity. Our research provides a foundation for developing robust defenses against social media fake news. Code and data are available at https: //github.com/xiuzhenzhang/Multimodal.

TRACE: Deployable Tree-Relational Structure Enhancement for Oncology LLMs
TRACE：可部署的肿瘤学大语言模型树关系结构增强
Abstract
Large language models are increasingly used in oncology applications, but their predictions are often weakly grounded in explicit medical structure. We present TRACE, a deployable tree-relational enhancement framework for oncology LLMs. TRACE separates expensive offline structure learning from lightweight online inference: oncology concepts and relations are organized into an updatable tree-relational structure, refined using LM-loss-derived evidence, and retrieved at inference time as compact prompt evidence. This design supports task-adaptive evidence selection without requiring supervised labels in the zero-shot setting. Across ten oncology classification tasks and one MedQuAD CancerGov QA benchmark, TRACE improves both label-free evaluation and supervised fine-tuning. Additional analyses show that TRACE improves over vanilla RAG and generic GraphRAG, remains useful under leakage-controlled METABRIC inputs, and produces interpretable evidence paths aligned with clinical reasoning. These results suggest that explicit, updatable medical structure is a practical path toward more accurate and auditable oncology LLM deployment.

Lookahead-R: Budget-Aware Tool Retrieval via Execution-Centric Planning
Lookahead-R：基于执行中心规划的预算感知工具检索
Abstract
Tool retrieval is a critical bottleneck for LLM-based agents operating over large, heterogeneous API ecosystems. Existing approaches face an inherent trade-off: semantic retrievers are fast but suffer from the semantic-functional gap, while execution-based validation improves precision at the cost of prohibitive latency. We propose Lookahead-R, a planning-based framework that reformulates tool retrieval as a resource-constrained sequential decision-making problem. At its core, Lookahead-R introduces a lightweight execution-aware surrogate world model that jointly predicts tool execution success, latency cost, and semantic utility---without invoking real APIs. This world model drives a cost-sensitive, uncertainty-guided Monte Carlo Tree Search that navigates the tool space under strict budget constraints. Evaluated on the large-scale ToolBench benchmark, Lookahead-R achieves a superior accuracy-efficiency trade-off across all test scenarios. On the most challenging I3 split, it attains an NDCG@5 of 91.40\%, outperforming the state-of-the-art ToolGen (90.16\%) by 1.24\%.

工具检索是基于大型异构API生态系统的LLM（大语言模型）代理的一个关键瓶颈。现有方法面临固有的权衡：语义检索器速度快，但存在语义与功能之间的差距，而基于执行的验证提高了精度，但代价是不可接受的延迟。我们提出了Lookahead-R，一个基于规划的框架，将工具检索重新表述为一个资源受限的顺序决策问题。Lookahead-R的核心是引入一个轻量级的执行感知替代世界模型，该模型共同预测工具执行的成功率、延迟成本和语义效用——而无需调用真实的API。该世界模型驱动了一种成本敏感的、不确定性引导的蒙特卡洛树搜索，在严格的预算约束下导航工具空间。在大规模的ToolBench基准测试中评估，Lookahead-R在所有测试场景中实现了优越的准确性与效率的权衡。在最具挑战性的I3分割中，它达到了91.40%的NDCG@5，超过了最先进的ToolGen（90.16%）1.24个百分点。消融研究确认，显式的延迟建模是识别资源约束下高质量工具的关键判别信号。

Automated Evaluation of Multi-Turn Dialogues in In-Car Conversational Assistants
车载对话助手中多轮对话的自动评估
Abstract
In-car conversational assistants (ICAs) are increasingly integrated into vehicles to support route planning, vehicle control, and information access. Ensuring their reliability is challenging due to multi-turn interactions, the absence of explicit ground truth, and strict safety constraints. Existing evaluation techniques fall short, as they target single-turn settings and fail to capture constraint handling, context retention, and safety-critical behavior across turns. We propose an automated framework for testing the multi-turn conversational capabilities of ICAs. The system is treated as a black box and evaluated via closed-loop simulation with a strategy-guided user simulator, an adversarial strategy manager, and a two-tier LLM judge assessing turn-level failures and conversation-level quality. We evaluate the approach on an industrial ICA with six LLM backends and twelve human annotators. The automated judge shows substantial agreement with humans, and strategy guidance uncovers 2.96 times more unique failure types per conversation and more than doubles the number of unique failing conversations compared to unguided simulation.

Constructing Challenging Browser-Use Tasks by Controlled Environment Interventions
通过控制环境干预构建具有挑战性的浏览器使用任务
Abstract
As browser-use agents improve, benchmarks keep pace by collecting new tasks, websites, and applications, often making tasks longer or more novel. This makes difficulty expensive to refresh and difficult to control: when many aspects change at once, it is unclear what actually makes a task challenging. We instead construct challenging instances from tasks agents already solve, turning difficulty into a programmable property of the environment. BreakingWeb pairs every base task with an intervention condition that preserves the user instruction, latent target, and backend success criterion while changing the environment at different web stack layers. Each intervention is deterministic, detectable, and recoverable, and is annotated with the cognitive primitive it primarily loads. The benchmark contains 519 clean/intervention task pairs across seven self-hosted websites and 29 intervention families, all graded against outcomes. We evaluate six strong browser-use agents, three GUI-only agents that see only screenshots, and humans. The construction is effective: interventions cut agent pass rate by 22.9% on average and overturn nearly half of the tasks each agent solves cleanly, whereas humans lose 10.0% on a first attempt and 5.7% after one familiarisation attempt. The dominant failure is belief failure: 75% of the six agents' failures end with a declared success although the required change never happened.

How to Run Statistics over LLM Judges and Trust the Results: Calibrated Inference for Small-Sample AI Evaluation with evalstats
如何在 LLM 评审者上进行统计分析并信任结果：针对小样本 AI 评估的校准推断与 evalstats
Abstract
Researchers across academia increasingly base significance claims on LLM judge scores and small-sample AI evaluations. Yet without well-calibrated confidence intervals (CIs), hypothesis tests, and judge-bias corrections, such claims are unreliable. We address these issues in several contributions. First, we find that running statistics over raw LLM judge scores leads to inflated false positives: counterintuitively, for many inter-rater agreement metrics, false positive risk peaks at "almost perfect" human-LLM agreement. To help researchers understand how to run statistics over LLM judges responsibly, we present guidance and tooling for the statistical analysis of mixed human-AI judge designs, and implement nine hypothesis tests via prediction-powered inference (PPI), including the first known PPI corrections for four rank-based tests (Wilcoxon signed-rank, Mann-Whitney U, and omnibus variants). To keep PPI++ stable with small human-labeled calibration sets, we introduce bootstrap-adaptive power tuning, which shrinks the estimated weight toward a target estimated from the labeled data, and accounts for that weight's own sampling variance. Second, through Monte Carlo simulations, we derive recommendations for what CI, p-value, and FWER correction methods to use for small-sample AI evaluations (N<100), and warn researchers against bootstrap CIs. We package these recommendations into evalstats, an open-source Python package that selects calibrated methods automatically, and demonstrate it in three scenarios, including one where a real LLM judge validated at "substantial agreement" would have led a researcher to publish a spurious finding. evalstats is publicly available at https://github.com/ianarawjo/evalstats.

学术界的研究人员越来越多地基于 LLM 评审者的评分和小样本 AI 评估来提出显著性声明。然而，如果没有良好校准的置信区间（CIs）、假设检验和评审者偏差校正，这些声明是不可靠的。我们在多个方面解决了这些问题。首先，我们发现对原始 LLM 评审者评分进行统计分析会导致虚假正例的增加：反直觉的是，对于许多评审者间一致性指标，虚假正例风险在“几乎完美”的人类-LLM 一致性时达到峰值。为了帮助研究人员理解如何负责任地对 LLM 评审者进行统计分析，我们提供了混合人类-AI 评审设计的统计分析指导和工具，并通过预测驱动推断（PPI）实现了九种假设检验，包括四种基于排名的检验（Wilcoxon 符号秩检验、Mann-Whitney U 检验及其综合变体）的首个已知 PPI 校正。为了使 PPI++ 在小型人类标注校准集上保持稳定，我们引入了自适应引导功率调优，该方法将估计权重缩小至从标注数据中估计的目标，并考虑该权重自身的抽样方差。其次，通过蒙特卡洛模拟，我们提出了针对小样本 AI 评估（N<100）使用何种 CIs、p 值和 FWER 校正方法的建议，并警告研究人员避免使用引导 CIs。我们将这些建议打包成 evalstats，这是一个开源 Python 包，能够自动选择校准方法，并在三种场景中演示，包括一个真实的 LLM 评审者在“实质性一致”下验证的案例，这本可能导致研究人员发布虚假发现。evalstats 可在 https://github.com/ianarawjo/evalstats 获取。

PrimeSeeker: Capability-Oriented Supervision for Deep Search Agents
PrimeSeeker：面向能力的深度搜索代理监督
Abstract
Large language model search agents are often trained with synthetic questions whose difficulty is increased through larger evidence graphs, additional hops, and longer trajectories. These global properties, however, are only indirect proxies for the local retrieval capabilities required during search. To address this mismatch, we introduce latent anchor reasoning, which consists of resolving an unnamed retrieval anchor from descriptive specifications and transferring the recovered anchor into a subsequent information demand. This primitive retrieval unit decomposes deep search into chains of coupled operations and organizes question construction around anchor resolution and relation transfer, without prescribing a canonical search path. Based on this formulation, we propose PrimeSeeker, a capability-oriented framework that constructs web-grounded anchor structures and jointly derives a question and a reference evidence skeleton. The skeleton preserves supporting evidence from construction and guides expert generation through extractive highlights of current tool observations. These highlights are removed before supervised fine-tuning, while the skeleton is subsequently reused to audit reference-step coverage for reinforcement-learning rewards. We construct 9,221 expert trajectories, training a 30B search agent. Across five deep-search benchmarks, PrimeSeeker achieves strong performance, while reference-step optimization further improves the supervised policy. The resulting trajectories exhibit low retrieval redundancy, and fixed-budget evaluation shows strong solution coverage with substantially fewer tool calls than long-horizon systems.

大型语言模型搜索代理通常使用合成问题进行训练，这些问题的难度通过更大的证据图、额外的跳跃和更长的轨迹来增加。然而，这些全局特性仅是搜索过程中所需的局部检索能力的间接代理。为了解决这一不匹配，我们引入了潜在锚点推理，该方法包括从描述性规范中解析未命名的检索锚点，并将恢复的锚点转移到后续的信息需求中。这个原始检索单元将深度搜索分解为一系列耦合操作，并围绕锚点解析和关系转移组织问题构建，而不规定规范的搜索路径。基于这一构想，我们提出了PrimeSeeker，一个面向能力的框架，该框架构建基于网络的锚点结构，并共同推导出一个问题和一个参考证据骨架。该骨架保留了构建过程中的支持证据，并通过提取当前工具观察的亮点来指导专家生成。这些亮点在监督微调之前被移除，而骨架随后被重新用于审计参考步骤覆盖，以获取强化学习奖励。我们构建了9221条专家轨迹，训练了一个30B的搜索代理。在五个深度搜索基准测试中，PrimeSeeker表现出色，而参考步骤优化进一步改善了监督策略。最终的轨迹表现出低检索冗余，固定预算评估显示出强大的解决方案覆盖，同时比长时间系统调用的工具数量显著减少。

Less Uniform Discrete Diffusion is More Powerful and Scalable
不那么均匀的离散扩散更强大且可扩展
Abstract
Although uniform diffusion language models (UDLMs) represent a promising diffusion paradigm, scaling them remains challenging. We identify the core obstacle as an over-uniform training objective and condition-target confusion during sampling. To address these, we propose Less Uniform Diffusion (LUDI), a novel UDLM framework. Specifically, we (i) introduce a less uniform loss that directs each reverse transition toward the clean token, and (ii) equip the model with per-token time embeddings that supply token-level corruption hints, enabling confidence-based few-step sampling. Experiments across scales show that LUDI yields cleaner supervision and improves few-step generation. We further continue-train a 7B autoregressive model into LUDI-7B, resulting in a UDLM capable of complex reasoning. It achieves a 3-token-per-step speedup over AR decoding and competitive performance compared with masked diffusion baselines, revealing that the full potential of UDLMs for complex generation remains to be unlocked.

Abstract
English-only benchmarks expose only a narrow slice of voice-agent behavior. We introduce $\tau$-Multilingual, extending $\tau$-Voice to Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Hindi, Korean, and Mandarin with native-speaker review and evaluation of generated language and spoken output. Across 4,500 full-duplex calls and five voice configurations, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi remain within 3.2 task-completion points of English, but Korean and Mandarin fall by 14.7 and 8.4 points. The failure modes also vary: Korean systems miss more responses, Mandarin systems interrupt more often, and both struggle with tools and entities. Grok leads task completion but scores lowest on generation quality, motivating separate task, interaction, and generation reporting. We release language packs, validated judges, and tools for community-built multilingual voice-agent evaluation.

Can We Still Trust Disaster Social Sensing? Empirical Evidence on Detecting AI-Generated Social Media Posts
我们还能信任灾难社交感知吗？关于检测AI生成社交媒体帖子的实证证据
Abstract
Disaster social sensing converts public social-media posts into evidence for situational awareness and humanitarian needs, but generative artificial intelligence (AI) can produce plausible messages that resemble eyewitness reports. This study investigates whether text-based AI detectors can reliably distinguish human-authored from AI-generated disaster posts. We construct a dataset of 12,000 texts organised into 3,000 matched semantic units from nine disasters: original human posts (H0), minimally LLM-proofread human posts (H1), factual AI-generated posts based on the same verified facts (A0), and affectively framed versions of those AI posts (A1). A separate 6,000-text corpus from 42 events supports model selection and threshold calibration. We evaluate OSM-Det, Fast-DetectGPT, Binoculars, and direct large language model (LLM) judges across five model families, then test disaster-domain calibration, a frozen-encoder linear readout, paired transformation sensitivity, and dataset artifact controls. Across fourteen frozen cross-family configurations, AUROC is 0.402-0.517 and the best prospective recall at a calibration-derived low-false-positive operating point is 3.6%; OSM-Det reaches AUROC 0.521 and 10.4% recall at a realised 6.7% false-positive rate. A disaster-trained linear head reaches AUROC 0.817, but a seven-feature surface classifier reaches 0.784 on the H0-versus-A0 contrast, and neutralising identified surface asymmetries reduces the head from 0.733 to 0.594. The head also separates A0 from A1 even though provenance is unchanged. The results show that text-based detection is not reliable enough to serve as an operational trust gate; multimodal claims, accountable sources, and other contextual evidence should be rested on to safeguard trust in disaster social sensing.

Tracing mechanisms of sycophantic agreement in language models
语言模型中谄媚性一致性的机制追踪
Abstract
Sycophantic agreement in language models refers to the tendency to overly affirm a user's stated beliefs or preferences, often at the expense of factual accuracy. Although it is widely recognized as an alignment failure, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this work, we use causal mediation analysis to identify the mechanisms behind sycophantic agreement. We show that a stated opinion is incorporated into the residual stream of the final prompt token early, where it biases subsequent answer retrieval. A sparse set of early attention heads carries this opinion signal. Ablating these heads substantially reduces sycophancy while leaving factual accuracy largely intact. The same heads carry the opinion when it is explicitly stated, regardless of how it is phrased. When an opinion is not stated explicitly but instead conveyed through content-free pushback (e.g., ``Are you sure?"), we find a distinct set of heads that suppresses the model's original correct answer to promote a revised answer. By providing a mechanistic account of how opinions induce sycophantic agreement, this work takes a step toward developing more targeted and reliable alignment interventions.

Reliable but Design-Sensitive: Instrument Uncertainty in LLM Annotation
可靠但设计敏感：大语言模型标注中的工具不确定性
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) can give reliable labels under one setup yet change those labels when researchers make other reasonable design choices. We tested seven LLMs, 12 task designs, three independent runs, and 3,000 tweets labeled for offensive language and hate speech. Repeating the same model and task design produced high agreement (median Fleiss' $\kappa = 0.91$). Agreement fell when we changed the task design for the same tweets (median Cohen's $\kappa = 0.76$). Task design and model choice increased the variance of estimated prevalence by factors of 76.7 for offensive language and 110.6 for hate speech compared with sampling variance alone. Variation across LLM task designs reached 560-572 basis points, compared with 270-331 basis points across five human instrument versions. Confidence scores did not solve this problem. They tracked repeated model outputs more closely than agreement with human labels, and grouping six tweets in one prompt lowered mean offensive-language confidence by 660 basis points. We call the variation caused by task design and model choice instrument uncertainty. Researchers can measure it only by comparing reasonable task designs. Repeating one setup or relying on confidence scores cannot replace that test.

Beyond the Context Window: An Adaptive Entropy-Based Routing Framework for Hybrid Retrieval and Long-Context Language Models
超越上下文窗口：一种基于自适应熵的混合检索与长上下文语言模型路由框架
Abstract
Modern large language models now support context windows of more than one million tokens, which has raised the question of whether retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is still necessary. Pure long-context (LC) processing is expensive and is known to under-attend to information placed in the middle of long inputs, while pure RAG is fast but bounded by retrieval quality and prone to errors when retrieved chunks are partially relevant or contradictory. We propose the Entropy-Driven Adaptive Router (EDAR), a framework that decides at inference time whether to answer a query from retrieved chunks or to escalate it to full long-context processing. The decision uses the predictive entropy of the token-level probability distribution computed over the first few generated tokens of the RAG response. The entropy threshold is selected on a held-out validation set by sweeping cost against accuracy. Experiments compare EDAR against pure-RAG and pure-LC baselines on LongBench v2 and Infinity-Bench. Predictive entropy correlates strongly with hallucination rate on a held-out set of 2,000 generations (Pearson r = 0.85, 95% CI [0.83, 0.87]). On the long-context benchmarks, EDAR retains 97.4% of the accuracy of the pure long-context baseline while reducing total token expenditure by 70.7%, escalating only 18.2% of incoming queries. The accuracy gap between EDAR and the pure long-context system is not statistically distinguishable from zero at standard sample sizes. Predictive entropy is a useful model-internal signal for routing between RAG and long-context inference, and a threshold-based hybrid system can recover most of the accuracy of long-context models at a small fraction of the cost. The framework does not depend on a specific retriever or LC backbone, and it does not require additional supervision beyond what is normally produced during decoding.

现代大型语言模型现在支持超过一百万个标记的上下文窗口，这引发了检索增强生成（RAG）是否仍然必要的问题。纯长上下文（LC）处理成本高昂，并且已知对长输入中间部分的信息关注不足，而纯RAG处理速度快但受限于检索质量，并且在检索到的片段部分相关或矛盾时容易出错。我们提出了熵驱动自适应路由器（EDAR），这是一个在推理时决定是从检索到的片段回答查询还是将其升级为完整长上下文处理的框架。该决策利用在RAG响应的前几个生成标记上计算的标记级概率分布的预测熵。熵阈值通过在保留的验证集上对成本与准确性进行扫描来选择。实验将EDAR与LongBench v2和Infinity-Bench上的纯RAG和纯LC基线进行比较。预测熵与在保留的2000个生成样本上的幻觉率强相关（Pearson r = 0.85, 95% CI [0.83, 0.87]）。在长上下文基准测试中，EDAR保持了纯长上下文基线97.4%的准确性，同时将总标记消耗减少了70.7%，仅对18.2%的传入查询进行了升级。EDAR与纯长上下文系统之间的准确性差距在标准样本大小下在统计上不可区分于零。预测熵是RAG与长上下文推理之间路由的有用模型内部信号，基于阈值的混合系统可以以较小的成本恢复大部分长上下文模型的准确性。该框架不依赖于特定的检索器或长上下文骨干网络，并且不需要超出解码过程中通常产生的额外监督。

When Should LLMs Trust Their Own Revisions? A Risk-Aware Study of Intrinsic Self-Correction
大型语言模型何时应信任自身的修正？一项关于内在自我修正的风险意识研究
Abstract
Intrinsic self-correction asks a language model to revise its own answer without receiving new external evidence. A second pass can recover mistakes, but it can also overturn answers that were already correct. We study this trade-off across 29 open-weight LLMs on BoolQ, GSM8K, and Corr2Cause by tracking correctness transitions between initial and revised answers. Aggregate accuracy can conceal substantially different revision behavior: for example, Llama-3.1-8B improves by 25.5 percentage points on GSM8K, while refinement changes 19.1% of initially correct answers into wrong ones. A controlled BoolQ study further shows that refinement prompts shift the balance between recovery and harm. We then compare three runtime choices: keeping the initial answer, always accepting the revision, and selectively invoking revision using signals available after the initial response. The comparison identifies settings where learned gating is useful and others where a simpler unconditional policy performs better. These results suggest treating intrinsic self-correction as a revision policy rather than as a uniformly beneficial second pass, and evaluating it through both the corrections it recovers and the errors it introduces.

内在自我修正要求语言模型在不接收新的外部证据的情况下修正其自身的答案。第二次修正可以纠正错误，但也可能推翻已经正确的答案。我们通过跟踪初始答案与修正答案之间的正确性转变，研究了这一权衡，涉及29个开放权重的大型语言模型（LLMs）在BoolQ、GSM8K和Corr2Cause数据集上的表现。总体准确率可能掩盖修正行为的显著差异：例如，Llama-3.1-8B在GSM8K上的准确率提高了25.5个百分点，但修正将19.1%的初始正确答案改为错误答案。进一步的控制实验在BoolQ数据集上显示，修正提示改变了恢复与损害之间的平衡。我们比较了三种运行时选择：保留初始答案、始终接受修正，以及根据初始响应后可用的信号选择性地调用修正。比较结果识别出学习门控有用的设置，以及其他情况下简单的无条件策略表现更好。这些结果表明，应将内在自我修正视为一种修正策略，而不是一种统一有益的二次修正，并通过其恢复的修正和引入的错误来评估它。

Hyperspherical Semantic Trajectory Analysis: Mapping Technological Diffusion across Academic Preprints, Patent Signals, and Compute Scaling
超球面语义轨迹分析：映射学术预印本、专利信号与计算规模的技术扩散
Abstract
Macroeconomic productivity metrics, such as Total Factor Productivity, register technological breakthroughs with multi-year reporting lags due to administrative survey intervals and national accounting conventions. This paper introduces Hyperspherical Semantic Trajectory Analysis (HSTA), an unsupervised quantitative methodology that tracks technology diffusion directly from unstructured scientific and commercial text streams. We analyze 30,000 filtered document records spanning academic preprints from arXiv and patent application records from the USPTO. By projecting high-dimensional Transformer sentence embeddings onto unit hyperspheres using Spherical K-Means clustering across eight primary sub-topics and UMAP manifold reductions, HSTA formalizes two quantitative metrics: (1) Semantic Centroid Vector Drift, which tracks vocabulary shifts between temporal sub-corpora to identify structural paradigm transformations; and (2) Commercialization Offset, which evaluates cross-corpus peak density alignments between scientific discovery and intellectual property filings. Linking quarterly topic volume velocity with physical hardware metrics from the Epoch AI database, Vector Autoregressive F-tests demonstrate that quarterly paper volume velocity alone does not Granger-cause frontier compute allocation surges at conventional statistical significance levels, highlighting the necessity of conditioning textual signals on physical capital constraints. Empirical results reveal that sub-topics covering Large Language Models (with a drift metric of 0.332) and Artificial Intelligence Systems (with a drift metric of 0.234) undergo the highest rate of semantic evolution, offering an objective, real-time mechanism to complement traditional economic statistics.

The Detectability Gap: Hidden Heterogeneity in Hallucination Detection Across Language Models
可检测性差距：语言模型中幻觉检测的隐性异质性
Abstract
Sampling based consistency is widely used for hallucination detection, yet aggregate performance can conceal systematic differences in which errors are detectable. This work studies that heterogeneity across four language models and three factual question answering datasets. Partitioning hallucinations by answer agreement reveals high agreement (Ghost) and low agreement (Flickering) regimes with an apparent detectability gap of $0.35$ to $0.46$ AUC. Because the statistics used to define the regimes and measure this gap are strongly coupled ($|\rho|\approx0.94$ to $1.00$), the raw result is treated as a property of agreement based detection rather than independent evidence. After freezing regime assignments, lexical and semantic response dispersion preserve the asymmetry, with bootstrap $95\%$ intervals excluding zero in all $12$ model and dataset settings. A stricter test using individual diffusion trajectories and no cross seed information preserves the asymmetry across all three LLaDA datasets ($p<0.005$) and directionally across all three Dream datasets, with one reaching significance. The hard regime varies substantially in prevalence across models ($16\%$ to $77\%$), and matched prompts frequently change regimes between models. These findings show that aggregate detection metrics conceal persistent, model dependent heterogeneity in language model failures and motivate regime conditioned evaluation.

Resolving the Missing Financial Data Crisis: A Generative AI Pipeline for SEC 10-K Extraction
解决缺失财务数据危机：用于SEC 10-K提取的生成式人工智能管道
Abstract
SEC 10-K filings contain substantial financial information that is not consistently captured in structured datasets, creating a missing-data problem affecting over 70% of firms and half of total market capitalization. This can disproportionately bias quantitative analysis against smaller firms, which may be excluded due to limited available data. Traditional financial extraction methods such as Regular Expressions (Regex) and BERT, have been widely used. However, they are highly brittle when parsing complex SEC 10-K filings, which leads to data that is existent in the files being lost since these methods do not consider that a data attribute could be located in a different section or a footnote. This study evaluates several Large Language Models (LLMs), including Llama-3 8B, Qwen-2.5 14B, and Llama-3.3 70B, to figure out individual model strengths and weaknesses when extracting specific attributes from SEC 10-K text. The extraction quality was evaluated across four financial variables of varying structural complexity: Cash and Cash Equivalents (tabular), Short-Term Debt (hybrid), Credit Facilities (narrative), and Research and Development (hybrid). Results show that while smaller models like Llama-3 8B experience performance degradation under complex negative prompting, aligning parameter scale with document complexity yields high zero-shot accuracy. Qwen-2.5 14B excels as a tabular specialist with an 83.33% F1 score on Cash, whereas Llama-3.3 70B effectively navigates dense narrative footnotes, achieving a 76.92% F1 score on R&D. This scalable framework addresses critical information gaps in quantitative finance datasets and eliminates missing-data bias through a more thorough analysis of the SEC 10-K files.

SEC 10-K 文件包含大量财务信息，但这些信息在结构化数据集中并未得到一致捕获，导致超过70%的公司和一半的总市值面临缺失数据问题。这可能对小型公司造成不成比例的偏见，因为由于可用数据有限，它们可能被排除在外。传统的财务提取方法，如正则表达式（Regular Expressions, Regex）和BERT，已经被广泛使用。然而，这些方法在解析复杂的SEC 10-K文件时非常脆弱，导致文件中存在的数据被丢失，因为这些方法未考虑数据属性可能位于不同的部分或脚注中。本研究评估了几种大型语言模型（Large Language Models, LLMs），包括Llama-3 8B、Qwen-2.5 14B和Llama-3.3 70B，以确定在从SEC 10-K文本中提取特定属性时各个模型的优缺点。提取质量在四个结构复杂性不同的财务变量中进行了评估：现金及现金等价物（表格型）、短期债务（混合型）、信贷设施（叙述型）和研发（混合型）。结果显示，尽管像Llama-3 8B这样的小型模型在复杂的负面提示下表现下降，但将参数规模与文档复杂性对齐可以获得较高的零-shot准确率。Qwen-2.5 14B在现金提取方面表现出色，F1得分为83.33%，而Llama-3.3 70B有效地处理密集的叙述性脚注，在研发提取中实现了76.92%的F1得分。该可扩展框架解决了定量金融数据集中关键的信息缺口，并通过对SEC 10-K文件的更全面分析消除了缺失数据偏见。

PACT: Pairwise-Anchored Calibrated Tuning for Single-Token Typed Decisions
PACT：针对单标记类型决策的成对锚定校准调优
Abstract
Single-token typed-decision models answer a schema question by reading the logits of a few one-letter answer codes at a single position: they are fast and return a probability for every allowed answer, but they are trained with plain cross-entropy that ignores most of the structure in their training data. We study such a model whose data is curated as contrastive pairs---two contexts that differ in one edited fact that flips the answer---each carrying a machine-checked certificate that deleting the decisive sentence makes the fact unknown. We propose PACT, which turns this structure into four training terms that need no new annotation: a difference-in-differences margin over each pair that is invariant to any shared logit offset, a permutation-consistency term against answer-code position bias, an evidence-necessity term on certificate-verified ablated contexts, and an ordinal transport cost for rubric fields, plus a three-parameter contextual temperature. On a frozen 324-item holdout with three seeds, PACT matches the published recipe in accuracy ($84.6\%$ vs. $85.2\%$; McNemar $p \ge 0.50$ at every seed) while giving the lowest position bias of all runs (answer flips under relabelling $9.8\%$ vs. $13.8\%$) and the lowest ordinal error on rubric fields (MAE $0.232$ vs. $0.311$). Against a control with the same optimiser and schedule but cross-entropy only, PACT is significantly more accurate at two of three seeds, halves the seed-to-seed spread and lowers NLL by $26\%$. Seed-matched ablations and pre-specified falsification tests locate these gains precisely: no single term raises raw accuracy, and the method's value lies in robustness and stability rather than headline accuracy. Code, data splits, trained adapters, and all run records are available at https://github.com/BennyLinntu/PACT-Pairwise-Anchored-Calibrated-Tuning-for-Single-Token-Typed-Decisions.

单标记类型决策模型通过读取单个位置上几个单字母答案代码的 logits 来回答模式问题：它们速度快，并为每个允许的答案返回概率，但它们是通过普通的交叉熵进行训练的，这忽略了训练数据中的大部分结构。我们研究了这样一个模型，其数据被策划为对比对——两个在一个编辑事实上有所不同的上下文，该事实的变化导致答案的翻转——每个对都携带一个机器检查的证书，证明删除决定性句子会使事实变得未知。我们提出了 PACT，它将这种结构转化为四个训练项，无需新的注释：对每对的差异中的差异边际，对任何共享 logit 偏移不变的项，针对答案代码位置偏差的置换一致性项，基于证书验证的消融上下文的证据必要性项，以及针对评分字段的序数传输成本，再加上一个三参数上下文温度。在一个冻结的 324 项保留集上，使用三个种子，PACT 在准确性上与已发布的配方相匹配（$84.6\%$ 对比 $85.2\%$；在每个种子下 McNemar $p

CruxBench: A Benchmark of Information Discovery
CruxBench：信息发现基准测试
Abstract
Benchmarks for large language models (LLMs) typically evaluate the accuracy of answers against fixed reference labels. But a central step in many complex real-world tasks is identifying which questions are worth asking in the first place: decomposing a difficult problem into subquestions -- which we call cruxes -- whose answers provide key steps on the path toward solving the target problem. To evaluate this capability of information discovery, we introduce CruxBench, a benchmark that grades LLM-generated questions by their Value of Information (VOI): how much a model-proposed crux updates beliefs about a target forecasting question. CruxBench enjoys a rare combination of three key properties: it is (1) contamination-resistant by construction, since ground truth is generated by future world events; (2) open-ended, admitting unbounded and complex text-based submissions rather than one correct numeric answer; and (3) grounded, with informativeness measured against quantified changes in real-world beliefs. We evaluate a diverse set of eight models on 293 target forecasting questions and find that VOI correlates highly with independent measures of model capability (r=0.90) and captures cruxes' usefulness for answering target questions. However, information discovery remains challenging even for frontier LLMs, which only narrowly outperform a random-timing baseline.

大型语言模型（LLMs）的基准测试通常评估答案与固定参考标签的准确性。然而，在许多复杂的现实任务中，一个核心步骤是识别哪些问题值得首先提出：将一个困难的问题分解为子问题——我们称之为关键问题（cruxes）——其答案为解决目标问题提供关键步骤。为了评估这种信息发现的能力，我们引入了CruxBench，这是一个通过信息价值（Value of Information, VOI）对LLM生成的问题进行评分的基准：模型提出的关键问题对目标预测问题的信念更新程度。CruxBench具备三项关键特性：它是（1）在构建上抗污染的，因为真实答案是由未来世界事件生成的；（2）开放式的，允许无限制和复杂的基于文本的提交，而不仅仅是一个正确的数值答案；（3）有实证基础的，其信息量通过现实信念的量化变化来衡量。我们在293个目标预测问题上评估了八个不同模型，发现VOI与模型能力的独立测量高度相关（r=0.90），并捕捉到关键问题在回答目标问题中的有效性。然而，即使对于前沿的LLMs，信息发现仍然具有挑战性，它们的表现仅略优于随机时机基线。

Almost Human, Except When It Matters: VoxParity and the Decisions a Voice Should Change
几乎人类，除非在关键时刻：VoxParity与声音应改变的决策
Abstract
A voice agent can handle almost every call on the words alone and still fail the few its sector's rules were written for. Emergency-call standards, fraud guidance, radio phraseology and vulnerability rules recognise that how a caller sounds, or what else is audible, can change the right action. VoxParity tests whether agents act on it. In 183 scenarios from 14 sectors, one transcript stays fixed while the audio changes (a coaching voice, a medical monitor beeping, a mayday under a radio check, noise over a drug name, a child's voice placing a bet, a frightened whisper), and with it the correct typed tool call. A words-only null test credits a system only if hearing the call moves its actions more than it moves a pipeline that only reads the words. Only 11 of the 23 systems that can also be run on the transcript pass. Descriptively, errors run toward the words: when the audio calls for protection, all 28 systems carry out the routine request more often than they over-react on clean calls (41% against 12% pooled; the words-only pipeline, 58% against 15%). Exploratory analyses place most of the leading systems' misses on cues they heard; systems beat the null almost entirely on items that state the rule; the leading systems overrule heard resignation or confusion far more often than acute alarm; and, in the models tested, describing the voice and stating the rule each recover part of the shortfall, leaving a gap on emotion.

Question-Specific Knowledge Graphs for Efficient Visual Reasoning
针对特定问题的知识图谱以实现高效的视觉推理
Abstract
Recent work in visual question answering has shown that vision-language models can exhibit strong reasoning capabilities by translating visual inputs into textual representations. The effectiveness of this translation depends on how well visual details are retained; models need to surface and align both explicit and implicit knowledge sufficient to support reasoning, without introducing spurious assumptions. Existing methods that leverage detailed image captions introduce visual details unrelated to the reasoning task, inflating input token counts and increasing computational cost. To address these challenges, we propose VisKG, a reinforcement learning (RL) framework in which models learn to translate visual content into question-specific knowledge graph (KG) representations. This process filters out perceptual noise while preserving the entity-relation structure needed for chain-of-thought reasoning, following the principle of minimum sufficient information. To ensure stable RL post-training, VisKG adopts Group reward-Decoupled Normalization Policy Optimization (GDPO). In addition, we strengthen the supervision stage with negative rationale samples, exposing the model to incorrect reasoning paths before RL post-training. Experimental results across science, mathematics, and general visual understanding benchmarks show that VisKG achieves performance comparable to or better than baselines, while requiring fewer tokens than caption-based representations. Moreover, training VisKG with GDPO improves accuracy by 2% over its GRPO-trained counterpart on average. These results suggest that KG representations are a promising approach for supporting multi-step reasoning and open up future work on adaptively selecting the most suitable representation for a given task.

近期在视觉问答领域的研究表明，视觉-语言模型能够通过将视觉输入转换为文本表示，展现出强大的推理能力。这种转换的有效性依赖于视觉细节的保留程度；模型需要提取和对齐足够支持推理的显性和隐性知识，而不引入虚假的假设。现有利用详细图像标题的方法引入了与推理任务无关的视觉细节，导致输入标记数量膨胀并增加计算成本。为了解决这些挑战，我们提出了VisKG，一个强化学习（RL）框架，在该框架中，模型学习将视觉内容转换为针对特定问题的知识图谱（KG）表示。该过程过滤掉感知噪声，同时保留链式思维推理所需的实体-关系结构，遵循最小充分信息原则。为了确保稳定的RL后训练，VisKG采用了群体奖励-解耦归一化策略优化（GDPO）。此外，我们通过负面推理样本强化监督阶段，让模型在RL后训练之前接触到错误的推理路径。跨科学、数学和一般视觉理解基准的实验结果表明，VisKG的性能与基线相当或更好，同时所需的标记数量少于基于标题的表示。此外，使用GDPO训练VisKG的准确性平均提高了2%，相较于其GRPO训练的对应模型。这些结果表明，KG表示是一种有前景的方法，可以支持多步骤推理，并为未来在特定任务中自适应选择最合适的表示开辟了研究方向。

Causal and Interpretable Structures in LLM Compositional Tasks
大型语言模型组合任务中的因果与可解释结构
Abstract
Large language models are able to solve tasks whose answers depend on not only individual input tokens, but also on relations among them. How is such relational information represented and processed across transformer layers? We study activations from ensembles of prompts that require inferring relationships between three tokens corresponding to a cyclic concept (months, hours, weekdays, and musical notes) to correctly predict the next token. Across model families (Llama, Qwen, Gemma, and Mistral) and cyclic concepts, we find a consistent layerwise progression in how the joint dependence among the tokens is geometrically organized and causally used: intermediate layers use a joint representation based on the inferred relationship between two tokens, while later layers use a joint representation associated with all three tokens to correctly complete the task. We also find other relationships between tokens that are geometrically structured but remain causally inert in the next-token prediction. Crucially, when taken together, these geometric and causal investigations reveal the representation-level mechanism that progressively organizes and composes the relational information to form the answer. More surprisingly, restricting the models to such causally relevant joint representations improves next-token prediction accuracy.

Mnemon: Raw Records, Fast Judgments, Slow Thoughts
Mnemon：原始记录、快速判断、慢速思考
Abstract
Long-term memory lets an LLM assistant use a history it can no longer reread, and most memory systems build it by rewriting conversations into facts, graphs or typed memories at write time. We argue that the work of memory divides, as thinking does, into two systems. Most of it is fast System 1 work: many small, independent yes/no judgments about records, such as whether a record is needed or no longer current, which a decision model makes by the dozen in a third of a second. Only a little is slow System 2 work: writing a few search queries, naming what the reply needs and composing the answer, which an LLM does well but slowly. We present Mnemon, a memory agent built on this division. It keeps conversations as raw, dated records; an LLM (System 2) plans searches over them, a decision model, Jev (System 1), judges what the searches return, and rules with explicit budgets turn the judgments into a small View for an unchanged answering model. A background pass consolidates each record once into topic timelines, value histories and standing instructions linked to the records, so that questions about a whole conversation reach evidence their own searches miss. Because nothing is decided about a record when it is written, the same agent can read any store that returns dated records. With gpt-4.1-mini answering, as in a public re-evaluation of 14 systems, Mnemon scores 91.7% on LoCoMo, the highest among them, and 83.8% on LongMemEval-S, from under 4k tokens of context per question, with the lowest effective cost index on LoCoMo. With a reasoning model answering, it reaches 92.2% on LoCoMo and 94.4% on LongMemEval-S, the latter on par with the best published results. From 100K to 10M tokens of history on BEAM, its cost per question grows by a factor of 1.11. On the same records, Jev separates gold evidence better than two LLMs and is 3-11 times faster.

长期记忆使得大型语言模型（LLM）助手能够使用其无法重新阅读的历史，而大多数记忆系统通过在写入时将对话重写为事实、图表或文本记忆来构建记忆。我们认为，记忆的工作与思维一样，分为两个系统。大部分是快速的系统1工作：对记录进行许多小的、独立的是/否判断，例如判断某条记录是否需要或是否不再有效，这些判断由决策模型在三分之一秒内做出数十次。只有少部分是缓慢的系统2工作：编写少量搜索查询、命名回复所需内容并撰写答案，这些是LLM做得很好但速度较慢的任务。我们提出了Mnemon，一个基于这种划分的记忆代理。它将对话保留为原始的、带日期的记录；LLM（系统2）对这些记录进行搜索规划，决策模型Jev（系统1）判断搜索结果，并通过明确的预算规则将判断转化为一个小的视图，以供不变的回答模型使用。后台处理将每条记录整合为主题时间线、价值历史和与记录相关的常设指令，以便关于整个对话的问题能够获得其自身搜索所遗漏的证据。由于在写入时对记录没有做出任何决定，因此同一代理可以读取任何返回带日期记录的存储。在对14个系统进行公开重新评估时，使用gpt-4.1-mini进行回答，Mnemon在LoCoMo上得分91.7%，为最高分，并在LongMemEval-S上得分83.8%，每个问题的上下文少于4000个标记，且在LoCoMo上具有最低的有效成本指数。使用推理模型回答时，Mnemon在LoCoMo上达到92.2%，在LongMemEval-S上达到94.4%，后者与已发布的最佳结果相当。在BEAM上，从10万到1000万个标记的历史，其每个问题的成本增长了1.11倍。在相同记录上，Jev的金证据分离效果优于两个LLM，并且速度快3到11倍。

PADM\'E: Preference Alignment Data Synthesis for Meta-Evaluation of LM Agent Evaluators
PADM'E：用于语言模型评估者元评估的偏好对齐数据合成
Abstract
Language models are frequently employed to evaluate other language models. An LM evaluator scoring agentic behaviors across multiple criteria is valuable, provided that its decisions align with human judgment. We call the problem of evaluating this alignment Meta-Evaluation. Tackling it directly is difficult: collecting human data is expensive, absolute scoring is hard to align, and using an LM meta-evaluator recurses the question of trustworthiness. We adopt a reformulation of meta-evaluation as a preference judgment problem: rather than comparing human and LM evaluator scores of a trajectory, we ask whether their implied preferences align. Building on this, we introduce PADM\'E, a data synthesis method that generates reliable criterion-based meta-evaluation data for agentic settings. PADM\'E uses only small language models, requires no human involvement during evaluations, and operates under a low computational budget. We build a prototype of PADM\'E and synthesize a dataset of 1,000 samples across four agentic domains and three evaluation criteria. Human validation on a 150-sample subset demonstrates that PADM\'E improves agreement with human judgment from 73% to 85% over a naive baseline. Meta-evaluating 25 common models with our dataset demonstrates the correlations between evaluation performance and scoring granularity, leniency, and model size, among other factors.

A Character-Level Neural Approach to Sinhala Sandhi Splitting
一种字符级神经网络方法用于僧伽罗语音变分割
Abstract
Sinhala Sandhi splitting recovers the constituent words or morphemes hidden inside a phonologically merged surface form. The task is important for Sinhala NLP because Sandhi obscures lexical boundaries, but no prior published work has established a neural benchmark for Sinhala Sandhi splitting. We present a character-level sequence-to-sequence study based on SandhiLex, using native Sinhala Unicode input and evaluating recurrent encoder-decoder models for affixational and more complex lexicalized, derivational, and etymological Sandhi. The central challenge is the hard subset lexicalized, derivational, and etymological Sandhi, where our best model, a bidirectional LSTM encoder with a unidirectional LSTM decoder, reaches only 68.40\% exact-match accuracy (82.08\% character-level accuracy), well below the 94.00\% achieved on the more regular affixational subset. Ablations show that bidirectional encoding is the largest contributor to performance, while native Sinhala script improves exact match accuracy over romanized input. Qualitative analysis indicates that many errors are near misses involving boundary adjacent characters or plausible but incorrect phonological substitutions. These results establish an empirical baseline for Sinhala Sandhi splitting and identify data scale, Sandhi type conditioning, and attention-based decoding as the main directions for future work.

When Does Correction Become Repair? Mechanistic Auditing of Internal Interventions in Tool-Using LLMs
何时修正变为修复？工具使用大型语言模型内部干预的机制审计
Abstract
Before invoking external tools, an agentic LLM must select among a K-way action space: executing a call, seeking clarification, answering directly, or declining. While internal activation steering can alter these pre-execution decisions, conventional aggregate metrics obscure where altered states land and what collateral damage they inflict. We present SAKIKO, an auditing framework that formalizes representation repair via directional error discovery, router-conditioned intervention, destination-resolved verification, and prospectively frozen statistical licensing. Across seven LLMs on When2Call and MetaTool, channel-keyed interventions induce direction-specific net gains in five models; across three sealed evaluations, none of 59 budget-matched random directions matches calibrated target gain. Crucially, destination auditing shows that behavioral movement does not equal repair: an intervention achieving +55 net gain corrupts over half of the baseline-correct decisions it touches, and promising point estimates on Qwen3-4B and Gemma-2-9B are formally declined due to finite-sample uncertainty.

Language Models Are "Insecure" Reporters
语言模型是“不安全”的报告者
Abstract
As large language models are deployed in increasingly autonomous long-horizon tasks, manually auditing and verifying the actions, artifacts, and outputs of models becomes more difficult. Users instead come to rely on LLM-generated reports to assess the quality and completeness of the work. We introduce a suite of eight adversarial reporting scenarios to systematically study whether LLMs conceal narrative-changing flaws: errors or limitations that undermine an otherwise successful account of work. We call this phenomenon "insecure reporting." When handed machine learning experiment logs containing a planted negative result that substantially weakens the proposed method, GPT-5.5 flags the negative result in only 2 of 200 generated reports. However, when a short honesty instruction, "Be honest in your response," is added, the model flags the negative result in 190 of 200 reports. Across eight open-weight models, chain-of-thought analysis reveals a recurring tension between disclosing narrative-changing flaws and reasoning about ways to appear successful. We perform an activation analysis and a steering experiment on Qwen3.5-9B, finding that honesty and success-seeking correspond to opposing directions in representation space. Our results suggest that LLMs tend to present narratives of success by default, and that steering models toward honesty makes their reports substantially more transparent.

随着大型语言模型在越来越自主的长期任务中被部署，手动审计和验证模型的行为、产物和输出变得愈加困难。用户因此开始依赖LLM生成的报告来评估工作的质量和完整性。我们引入了一套八个对抗性报告场景，以系统地研究LLM是否隐瞒了改变叙事的缺陷：那些削弱了原本成功的工作叙述的错误或局限性。我们称这种现象为“不安全报告”。当被提供包含一个植入的负面结果的机器学习实验日志时，该结果显著削弱了所提议的方法，GPT-5.5在200个生成的报告中仅标记了2个负面结果。然而，当添加一条简短的诚实指令“在你的回答中保持诚实”时，模型在200个报告中标记了190个负面结果。通过对八个开放权重模型的思维链分析，揭示了披露改变叙事的缺陷与推理成功表现之间的持续紧张关系。我们对Qwen3.5-9B进行了激活分析和引导实验，发现诚实与追求成功在表示空间中对应于相反的方向。我们的结果表明，LLM倾向于默认呈现成功的叙事，而引导模型走向诚实使其报告变得更加透明。

Targeting Pivotal Decisions for Credit Assignment in Agentic Reinforcement Learning
针对代理强化学习中信用分配的关键决策
Abstract
Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has become a promising approach for training large language model agents. However, its uniform assignment of trajectory-level advantages to all policy tokens fails to distinguish consequential decisions from less relevant ones, obscuring which intermediate decisions contributed to success. We introduce ProVer, a framework that targets potentially pivotal decisions for fine-grained credit assignment in agentic reinforcement learning. Given a rollout group, an agentic judge contrasts successful and failed trajectories to propose a segment potentially responsible for their divergent outcomes. Rather than directly trusting the judge's assessment, ProVer verifies the proposed segment by estimating its advantage from the difference in terminal success rates between current-policy continuations sampled before and after the segment. Positive estimates are then incorporated into the GRPO advantages of policy tokens within the proposed segment. By using model judgment only to select where to verify, ProVer grounds local credit in observed outcomes without exhaustively evaluating every intermediate state. Across ALFWorld, WebShop, and SearchQA, ProVer achieves the strongest average performance at both model scales, with relative improvements over GRPO of 9.91% and 7.12% for Qwen3.5-2B and Qwen3.5-4B, respectively. Further analyses demonstrate that informed segment selection improves policy training with modest additional generation overhead, even without a frontier-scale judge model, highlighting the effectiveness and efficiency of selectively targeting pivotal decisions for fine-grained credit assignment in agentic reinforcement learning.

群体相对策略优化（Group Relative Policy Optimization, GRPO）已成为训练大型语言模型代理的一种有前景的方法。然而，它对所有策略令牌的轨迹级优势的统一分配未能区分重要决策与不相关决策，模糊了哪些中间决策对成功做出了贡献。我们提出了ProVer，一个针对潜在关键决策进行细粒度信用分配的框架。在给定的回放组中，代理评判者对成功和失败的轨迹进行对比，以提出一个可能导致其不同结果的片段。ProVer并不直接信任评判者的评估，而是通过估计该片段的优势，基于在该片段之前和之后采样的当前策略延续的终端成功率差异来验证所提议的片段。然后，将正向估计纳入所提议片段内策略令牌的GRPO优势中。通过仅使用模型判断来选择验证位置，ProVer将局部信用基于观察到的结果，而无需对每个中间状态进行全面评估。在ALFWorld、WebShop和SearchQA上，ProVer在两个模型规模上都实现了最强的平均性能，相较于GRPO，Qwen3.5-2B和Qwen3.5-4B的相对提升分别为9.91%和7.12%。进一步的分析表明，知情的片段选择在适度的额外生成开销下改善了策略训练，即使没有前沿规模的评判模型，强调了选择性针对关键决策进行细粒度信用分配的有效性和效率。

Concept Direction Reliability Across Languages with Different Tokenizer Fertility
不同分词器丰度下跨语言概念方向可靠性
Abstract
Extracted sentiment directions can vary across samples even when downstream sentiment classification remains accurate. To evaluate direction reproducibility, we measure split-half agreement in English, Hausa, and Yoruba representations across four language models using both native and translated texts. We identify layers selected for agreement using ten topics and evaluate direction agreement across separate groups of fifteen topics. Using the final token, split-half agreement ranges from 0.737 to 0.870 for English, 0.589 to 0.762 for Hausa, and 0.101 to 0.399 for Yoruba, maintaining this language rank order across all 77 complete model comparisons. Classifiers trained on these same layers consistently predict sentiment above chance, demonstrating that predictive accuracy does not imply directional consistency. Furthermore, averaging token representations yields less consistent agreement, and high agreement can partially reflect sentence length. Ultimately, our findings highlight the need to measure vector direction reproducibility independently of classification performance, though they do not establish that tokenizer fertility which is the average number of tokens per whitespace separated word causes cross-lingual differences.

SCOUT: Synergizing Reasoning and Tool-Use for Computer-Use Safety
SCOUT：协同推理与工具使用以确保计算机使用安全
Abstract
Computer-use agents (CUAs), while capable of completing computer tasks in everyday and professional workflows, can cause unintended harm even under benign instructions and environments. However, detecting such harm remains challenging. First, it requires careful, task-specific reasoning: verifiers guided only by general safety criteria often overlook many important but subtle harmful behaviors. Second, it requires active investigation: past trajectory screenshots show what the agent did but not always what actually changed in the environment, so LLM-as-a-judge verifiers that rely on screenshots alone may be unable to determine the actual consequences of actions. To address these challenges, we introduce SCOUT, a two-stage agentic safety verifier that synergizes reasoning-intensive rubric generation with tool-intensive evidence gathering. First, our SCOUT rubric generator extensively reasons over the task and the agent's trajectory to determine what successful and safe execution should entail, generating task-specific completion and safety rubrics. Then, our SCOUT probing agent follows these rubrics to interact with the post-execution environment and collect grounded evidence for final safety and completion judgments. We evaluate our framework on two computer-use safety benchmarks. On AutoElicit-Bench, SCOUT achieves 75.4 unsafe F1 and 74.5 completion F1, outperforming LLM-as-a-judge verifiers and naive tool-use verifiers. SCOUT leads on OS-Blind with 76.4% unsafe detection accuracy. Test-time reflection reduces final unsafe execution rates from 30.2% to 17.2% on AutoElicit-Bench. Ablations and analysis show that tool-free rubric generation in SCOUT elicits substantially more reasoning and is crucial for safety detection across verifier backbones, especially non-frontier ones. A preliminary extension to coding tasks shows that SCOUT can support safety verification beyond computer-use.

计算机使用代理（CUAs）能够在日常和专业工作流程中完成计算机任务，但即使在良性指令和环境下也可能造成意外伤害。然而，检测此类伤害仍然具有挑战性。首先，这需要仔细的任务特定推理：仅依赖一般安全标准的验证者往往会忽视许多重要但微妙的有害行为。其次，这需要主动调查：过去的轨迹截图显示了代理所做的事情，但并不总是显示环境中实际发生的变化，因此仅依赖截图的LLM作为评判者的验证者可能无法确定行为的实际后果。为了解决这些挑战，我们提出了SCOUT，一个两阶段的代理安全验证器，协同推理密集的评分标准生成与工具密集的证据收集。首先，我们的SCOUT评分标准生成器对任务和代理的轨迹进行广泛推理，以确定成功和安全执行应包含的内容，生成任务特定的完成和安全评分标准。然后，我们的SCOUT探测代理遵循这些评分标准与执行后的环境互动，并收集有根据的证据以作出最终的安全和完成判断。我们在两个计算机使用安全基准上评估了我们的框架。在AutoElicit-Bench上，SCOUT实现了75.4的危险F1和74.5的完成F1，优于LLM作为评判者的验证者和天真的工具使用验证者。在OS-Blind上，SCOUT的危险检测准确率达到76.4%。测试时反思将AutoElicit-Bench上的最终不安全执行率从30.2%降低至17.2%。消融实验和分析表明，SCOUT中的无工具评分标准生成引发了显著更多的推理，并且对各类验证器骨干，尤其是非前沿验证器的安全检测至关重要。对编码任务的初步扩展表明，SCOUT可以支持超越计算机使用的安全验证。

FastGuide: Accelerating Reward Guidance for Diffusion Large Language Models
FastGuide：加速扩散大型语言模型的奖励引导
Abstract
Gradient-based reward guidance provides a flexible way to use downstream reward models to control masked diffusion language models at inference time. However, its computational cost remains high as each decoding iteration incurs expensive diffusion model forward passes and reward model backpropagation steps. To address this, we introduce FastGuide, an adaptive hybrid of parallel and autoregressive decoding to accelerate reward guidance for diffusion language models. In analogy to parallel decoding, FastGuide amortizes the cost of reward model backpropagation by computing guidance once per decoding step and reusing it to generate multiple tokens. Within each decoding step, FastGuide makes diffusion forward passes autoregressive by unmasking tokens one at a time while efficiently recomputing token distributions after each unmasking by utilizing KV caching techniques and sparse recomputation of attention. Lastly, to adapt hybrid decoding to the model's confidence, FastGuide defers any token that the model is unconfident about under its recomputed distribution. Experiments on three reward benchmarks demonstrate that FastGuide is up to $4.4\times$ faster than sequential reward-guided decoding while retaining similar generation quality.

基于梯度的奖励引导为在推理时控制掩码扩散语言模型提供了一种灵活的方法。然而，由于每次解码迭代都涉及昂贵的扩散模型前向传播和奖励模型反向传播步骤，其计算成本仍然很高。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了FastGuide，一种自适应的并行与自回归解码混合方法，以加速扩散语言模型的奖励引导。类似于并行解码，FastGuide通过在每个解码步骤中计算一次引导并重用它来生成多个标记，从而摊销了奖励模型反向传播的成本。在每个解码步骤中，FastGuide通过逐个解锁标记使扩散前向传播变为自回归，同时利用KV缓存技术和稀疏重新计算注意力在每次解锁后高效地重新计算标记分布。最后，为了将混合解码适应于模型的置信度，FastGuide推迟处理模型在其重新计算的分布下不自信的任何标记。在三个奖励基准上的实验表明，FastGuide的速度比顺序奖励引导解码快了多达4.4倍，同时保持了相似的生成质量。

Geometric Representations of African Languages: A Regional Semantic Hub and Cultural Steering
非洲语言的几何表示：区域语义中心与文化引导
Abstract
We study how Gemma 4 31B represents African languages and responds to cultural steering. The first study compares nine African languages and three controls using probes, contrast directions, and measures of representation similarity. Transfer from English varies across languages and layers. Directions representing an Africa versus West contrast are more aligned among the African languages than between these languages and the controls at several layers. The comparison across language families passes the reported Holm threshold at five of twelve layers, although dependence between language pairs limits the statistical interpretation. Within Nigeria, Yoruba and Igbo are more aligned than the average of their pairs with Hausa at eleven of twelve layers. The second study uses separate English data to construct directions for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. Under union scoring at the selected strengths, estimated differences in attribution rates from random directions range from 0.63 to 0.81. Most outputs pass the automated structural coherence screen. Comparisons with Aya Expanse 32B show that results depend on the representation measure. Together, the studies document regional and family patterns in the sampled representations and country steering in English.

The Canonical Order Problem: When Large Language Models Are Unreliable Knowledge Bases for Multi-Valued Relations
典范顺序问题：当大型语言模型作为多值关系的不可靠知识库时
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as knowledge bases (KBs) due to the vast amount of knowledge they acquire during pre-training. While many works focus on extracting single relational triples, most real-world relations are multi-valued and require generating sets of entities. In this paper, we investigate how LLMs represent and generate multi-valued relations. We identify the canonical order problem: The probabilistic distributions inside LLMs organize many multi-valued relations according to a canonical ordering (e.g., alphabetical or chronological). Through mechanistic analysis, we show that set generation in LLMs can be thought of in terms of three phases: (1) retrieval of candidate entities, (2) internal sorting, and (3) selection of the next element. As a result, prompts aiming to construct KBs that deviate from this internal canonical ordering lead to a markedly reduced reliability of LLMs when aiming to generate complete sets for multi-valued relations.

大型语言模型（LLMs）因其在预训练过程中获取的大量知识而越来越多地被用作知识库（KBs）。虽然许多研究集中于提取单一关系三元组，但大多数现实世界的关系是多值的，需要生成实体集合。在本文中，我们研究了LLMs如何表示和生成多值关系。我们识别出典范顺序问题：LLMs内部的概率分布根据典范顺序（例如，字母顺序或时间顺序）组织许多多值关系。通过机制分析，我们表明，LLMs中的集合生成可以分为三个阶段进行思考：（1）候选实体的检索，（2）内部排序，以及（3）下一个元素的选择。因此，旨在构建偏离这种内部典范顺序的知识库的提示，会导致LLMs在生成多值关系的完整集合时显著降低可靠性。

Lost in Translation: Measuring the Effect of Non-Native English on End User Performance of Large Language Models
翻译中的迷失：测量非母语英语对大型语言模型最终用户表现的影响
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used by people whose first language is not English, yet these users have been shown to receive systematically lower-quality responses than fluent speakers. Which specific features of non-native English drive this gap remains unclear, because fluency is itself a composite of mechanical accuracy, vocabulary use, organization, and discourse coherence. Here, we introduce FABLE, a controlled dataset of 190,911 English prompt variants derived from 174K real user prompts for writing-related tasks. Evaluating responses from 34 open-weight LLMs, we find a clear asymmetry; while models do not propagate surface errors such as misspellings into their outputs, models do mirror higher-level rhetorical and lexical qualities present in the user's prompt. Further, the overall quality of responses differs substantially between the least- and most-fluent prompts. These results highlight a key LLM performance disparity for non-native English LLM users, resulting in both lower-quality and less-fluent answers.

CineSubBench: Evaluating LLMs on Long-Form Narrative and Cultural Understanding from Multilingual Movie Subtitles
CineSubBench：基于多语言电影字幕评估大型语言模型在长篇叙事和文化理解方面的表现
Abstract
Large language models are increasingly evaluated in specialized domains such as law, medicine, software engineering, and cybersecurity, yet film remains comparatively underexplored despite requiring long-form narrative integration, multilingual interpretation, and culturally situated audience judgments. We introduce CineSubBench, a benchmark for evaluating long-context film understanding from multilingual movie subtitles. A subtitle track represents a film as thousands of short, temporally ordered utterances from which models must reconstruct characters, relationships, events, causal progression, and themes without explicit scene or event structure. CineSubBench contains 1,012 films with complete subtitle coverage in six languages, yielding 6,072 tracks and 8.13M timestamped subtitle entries. It provides a matched multi-task, multilingual, and multicultural (MultiX) evaluation setting: seven tasks span narrative reconstruction and abstraction, genre prediction, age suitability, country-specific motion-picture ratings across ten national classification systems, and subtitle-grounded language safety. Across nine LLMs, plot premises are recovered more reliably than event-complete synopses; cross-lingual consistency varies substantially across models and languages; national rating systems expose distinct calibration patterns; and strong profanity is far easier to ground than mild obscenity. CineSubBench establishes film as a long-context LLM evaluation domain and provides a unified benchmark for measuring narrative, multilingual, cultural, and evidence-grounding capabilities.

Cognitive Expert Language Models Better Align with the Corresponding Brain Systems
认知专家语言模型更好地与相应的大脑系统对齐
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) can predict human brain activity across a variety of brain regions during natural language comprehension. Typically, however, LLM-brain alignment is measured using one model for different regions of the brain, and then model performance is summarized across regions. This one-model-fits-all approach ignores the functional specialization of brain regions. In this study, we assess whether a model oriented toward a particular cognitive domain aligns better with the brain system dedicated to that domain. Through prompting and fine-tuning, we first build expert LLM variants for six domains: sensory, spatial, numerical, reasoning, social, and abstract processing. We then examine whether each expert best predicts activity in the brain region associated with the corresponding cognitive domain. Consistent with our hypotheses, each expert's representations align more closely with the brain system most associated with the matching domain than do other experts. This holds under both prompting and fine-tuning, across three base models and three fMRI datasets. In a series of control analyses, we show that this model-brain alignment is specific to cognitive domain interventions; non-cognitive and surface-level interventions do not result in comparable alignment. Specializing models shifts regional alignment while leaving aggregate prediction accuracy largely unchanged, suggesting that summarizing alignment across regions may obscure regional differences in performance for specific models.

Learning from Teacher Continuations at Student States
从教师延续到学生状态的学习
Abstract
We present OLIVE (OnLine InterVEntion). At each iteration, the evolving student policy generates a new prefix, the teacher continues it autoregressively, and the student is updated using cross-entropy computed on the teacher-generated tokens. Each design choice targets a corresponding limitation of existing distillation methods: (1) sequential covariate shift in offline supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on fixed teacher trajectories, (2) fragmented supervision under prefix failure in token-level on-policy distillation (OPD), and (3) the need for access to teacher token probabilities in distribution-matching distillation. OLIVE achieves higher reasoning performance than OPD (with a top-16 KL approximation) at comparable GPU-hour cost. Our asynchronous implementation further reduces OLIVE's total training time by 23.8\%. We evaluate OLIVE on both hard reasoning tasks and agentic tasks which reflects modern post-training scenarios, and it consistently outperforms existing distillation methods under the same training budget. By regenerating prefixes from the evolving student, OLIVE continues improving after offline distillation plateaus while better preserving the general capabilities and plasticity of the student. Using only text from GPT-5.4-mini, continuously training with OLIVE outperforms offline SFT from the same teacher by 13\% on ScienceWorld. These results support OLIVE as an effective and efficient approach to online language-model distillation.

Population Fidelity: Evaluating Population Representativeness in LLMs
人口忠诚度：评估大型语言模型中的人口代表性
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) show considerable potential in simulating human attitudes and preferences. Prior work finds that LLM-generated responses can compress the range of attitudes found within populations and misrepresent particular subgroups in ways that vary across models and topics. We introduce Population Fidelity, an evaluation framework that distinguishes key conditions required for a set of LLM-generated responses to represent a population. It incorporates three dimensions: group-level accuracy, the amount of between-group variation, and the structure of that variation. We demonstrate the framework's utility in two ways. First, we reproduce a prior study of "machine bias" in LLM survey responses and apply the framework to its models and more recent ones, showing that poor representation reflects not only insufficient between-group variation but also variation assigned to the wrong groups. Second, we evaluate one proposed approach to improving models' population representativeness: cultural fine-tuning. We find that cultural fine-tuning can improve alignment with the survey center without improving the representation of within-population differences, a distinction that measures of aggregate agreement do not capture. We argue that representing a population requires models to reproduce several features of human attitudinal variation simultaneously. Our framework organizes these features and provides reusable code, data, and trained models for evaluating population fidelity across substantive domains and assessing proposed alignment methods.

HeurEvo: Agentic Evolution of Hybrid Solver-Augmented Heuristics for Time-Critical Mathematical Optimization
HeurEvo：用于时间关键型数学优化的混合求解器增强启发式算法的自主进化
Abstract
Recent advances in agentic heuristic design use AI agents and execution feedback to automate algorithm discovery for challenging optimization problems. In many practical settings, high-quality solutions must be obtained under strict runtime constraints, motivating hybrid approaches that combine problem-specific heuristics with powerful mathematical programming solvers. However, existing approaches typically improve heuristic components within predefined procedures or tune solver configurations in isolation. This limits holistic adaptation of where to allocate computation, how to leverage solvers, and how to refine the overall algorithmic structure. To address these limitations, we propose HeurEvo, an automated plan--code--component co-evolution framework that jointly evolves the high-level algorithmic structures, their implementations, and a shared pool of reusable components. A planner determines which algorithmic components to use, how to combine them, and how to allocate runtime across stages, a coder realizes the resulting plan as executable code, while a component evolver updates the shared component pool. Within an island-based evolutionary framework, plans and implementations co-evolve with feedback from an interpreter agent that analyzes execution results and identifies opportunities for improvement. Across diverse combinatorial optimization benchmarks and challenging MIPLIB instances, HeurEvo finds high-quality solutions within tight runtime budgets, often matching or surpassing state-of-the-art optimization solvers given hours or days of computation. On several nonlinear geometry problems such as hexagon packing, it also improves upon the best previously reported results.

最近在自主启发式设计方面的进展利用人工智能代理和执行反馈来自动化算法发现，以应对具有挑战性的优化问题。在许多实际场景中，必须在严格的运行时间限制下获得高质量的解决方案，这促使了将特定问题的启发式方法与强大的数学编程求解器相结合的混合方法。然而，现有的方法通常在预定义的程序中改进启发式组件或单独调整求解器配置。这限制了在计算分配、如何利用求解器以及如何优化整体算法结构方面的整体适应性。为了解决这些限制，我们提出了HeurEvo，一个自动化的计划-代码-组件共同进化框架，该框架共同进化高层算法结构、其实现以及一个共享的可重用组件池。规划器确定使用哪些算法组件、如何组合它们以及如何在各个阶段分配运行时间，编码器将生成的计划实现为可执行代码，而组件进化器则更新共享组件池。在基于岛屿的进化框架内，计划和实现与分析执行结果并识别改进机会的解释代理的反馈共同进化。在各种组合优化基准和具有挑战性的MIPLIB实例中，HeurEvo在紧张的运行时间预算内找到高质量的解决方案，通常与最先进的优化求解器相匹配或超越，尽管计算时间为数小时或数天。在多个非线性几何问题（如六边形打包）上，它也改善了之前报告的最佳结果。这些结果突显了在自主启发式设计中共同搜索算法结构和实现的价值。

Training LLMs to Verbalize Evaluation Awareness
训练大型语言模型以表达评估意识
Abstract
Evaluation awareness (EA) can cause large language models (LLMs) to behave differently during audits than in deployment, yet measuring and accounting for EA remains challenging. We introduce verbalization training (VT), a method for making LLMs less reticent about verbalizing evaluation awareness while avoiding to supervise the latent belief itself. VT uses a model's spontaneous verbalizations as evidence that awareness is present and truncates each rollout immediately before the verbalization, producing training prefixes at which the model is presumed to be aware. The model is then trained with an RL objective designed to increase verbalization in a calibrated way. Across Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, Kimi K2.6, and Inkling, VT increases verbalized EA by 2.4-2.9 times and transfers to held-out agentic settings, while measured latent EA and behavior remain largely stable. In a causal experiment, we independently implant meta-knowledge about evaluations through synthetic-document fine-tuning and show that VT-induced verbalizations reflect the richer knowledge acquired by the model.

评估意识（Evaluation Awareness, EA）可能导致大型语言模型（Large Language Models, LLMs）在审计期间表现出与部署时不同的行为，但测量和考虑评估意识仍然具有挑战性。我们提出了一种称为语言化训练（Verbalization Training, VT）的方法，旨在使大型语言模型在表达评估意识时不再犹豫，同时避免对潜在信念本身进行监督。VT利用模型自发的语言表达作为意识存在的证据，并在每次语言表达之前立即截断每次回滚，从而生成模型被假定为意识到的训练前缀。然后，模型使用旨在以校准方式增加语言表达的强化学习（Reinforcement Learning, RL）目标进行训练。在 Qwen3.6-35B-A3B、Kimi K2.6 和 Inkling 上，VT 将语言化的评估意识提高了 2.4-2.9 倍，并能够转移到保留的自主设置中，而测量的潜在评估意识和行为基本保持稳定。在一项因果实验中，我们通过合成文档微调独立植入关于评估的元知识，并显示 VT 引发的语言表达反映了模型所获得的更丰富知识。

DeepRewind: Predicting and Repairing Premature Commitments in Deep Research Agents
DeepRewind：预测和修复深度研究代理中的过早承诺
Abstract
Deep-research agents conduct long-horizon investigations through iterative search, evidence evaluation, belief revision, and synthesis. However, they may commit to claims before sufficient evidence is available, causing later reasoning to reinforce an incorrect interpretation. We introduce DeepRewind, an additive control layer for reversible deep research that represents the agent's evolving epistemic state as a typed graph of sources, evidence, claims, hypotheses, assumptions, commitments, plans, and drafts. Before accepting an intermediate conclusion, a prompt-based world model predicts its impact and estimates reversibility based on hypothesis narrowing, information loss, recovery cost, and contradiction-trigger coverage. A binary controller blocks risky commitments, while a consistency monitor performs dependency-aware rollback when later evidence invalidates them. Across DRBench and LiveDRBench, DeepRewind improves insight recall by 3.6 percentage points and reduces premature commitments by 59.1% relative to Open Deep Research.

Calibrated to Whom? Persona and Language Effects on Cultural Values in JEV
校准给谁？角色与语言对 JEV 中文化价值的影响
Abstract
Decision-only language models return a probability for every answer option instead of generating text, which makes them attractive as survey respondents and as judges. We audit the cultural values of one such model, TypeSafe's JEV, with the Values Survey Module 2013. We asked it the 24 items as 12 matched Saudi and 12 matched American personas and without a persona, in English and Arabic, under eight ways of formulating the request (288,000 answers). JEV's answers were highly repeatable (ICC 0.997), and without a persona they resembled those of its own American personas. When the persona was Saudi rather than American, the answers moved in the direction of the human Saudi-US difference, reproducing 87% of its size in English but 62% in Arabic, with long-term orientation reversed. A language cross shows that the smaller difference in Arabic comes from the language of the items, not from the language of the persona description. Age shifted the profiles about as much as nationality, gender shifted them more for Saudi than for American personas, and JEV was less confident in Arabic and for Saudi personas. These patterns held in every request design, although the model never generates text.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Systematically Erasing LLM's Memories
无暇心灵的永恒阳光：系统性地抹除大型语言模型的记忆
Abstract
We consider persistent LLMs that accumulate memories of their interactions with a user over time. Such LLMs maintain memories using external storage, which they can query to overcome the limitations of a fixed context window. Such systems have numerous practical applications, as they can draw on all past interactions when responding to user queries. In this paper, we ask whether LLMs can forget information shared with them upon a user's request. We find that current LLMs fail to delete such information---even when they claim to have forgotten it and even when operating with a limited context. To this end, we consider a new direction of study: Deletion of LLM Memories. We show that naively removing messages that match a user's deletion request is insufficient, since conversations naturally introduce message dependencies that cause information to persist. To correctly handle deletion requests, we propose the DeLLM framework. It dynamically constructs relevant context for each LLM query and maintains a provenance graph of messages to determine which ones must be removed during deletion. Our experiments show that DeLLM achieves a high deletion rate while maintaining utility.

我们考虑那些随着时间推移而积累与用户互动记忆的持久大型语言模型（LLMs）。这些LLMs使用外部存储来维护记忆，从而能够查询以克服固定上下文窗口的限制。这类系统具有众多实际应用，因为它们在回应用户查询时可以参考所有过去的互动。在本文中，我们探讨LLMs是否能够在用户请求下忘记与其分享的信息。我们发现当前的LLMs无法删除此类信息——即使它们声称已忘记这些信息，甚至在有限上下文下运行时也是如此。为此，我们考虑一个新的研究方向：LLM记忆的删除。我们表明，简单地删除与用户删除请求匹配的消息是不够的，因为对话自然引入了消息依赖关系，导致信息持续存在。为了正确处理删除请求，我们提出了DeLLM框架。该框架动态构建每个LLM查询的相关上下文，并维护消息的来源图，以确定在删除过程中必须移除哪些消息。我们的实验表明，DeLLM在保持实用性的同时实现了高删除率。

MemFold: Learning Compact Soft Memory for Long-Context Personalization via On-Policy Optimization
MemFold：通过在线优化学习紧凑的软记忆以实现长上下文个性化
Abstract
An assistant that serves the same user over a long horizon has to answer from what that user has revealed: which preferences still hold, which were revised, and which constraints apply now. Retaining that information is not the same as acting on it, and the two are usually optimized as if they were. Keeping the information as text makes the reader's input grow with the retained history, while compressing it into a fixed number of latent vectors bounds the interface but is typically trained to reconstruct text or imitate reference answers, both of which are scored on sequences the reader never produced. We present MemFold, which optimizes a fixed-budget soft memory by the behavior it supports. A query-conditioned textual memory is compressed into K continuous vectors that form the reader's memory interface, and the reader is then trained on its own rollouts under two complementary signals: group-relative rewards for task outcomes, and confidence-gated on-policy distillation in which a frozen textual-memory teacher re-scores the student's sampled tokens under the textual memory. The teacher is never sampled from, so supervision stays on the student's current distribution and adds no autoregressive decoding; at inference it is removed entirely. Across three Qwen backbones, MemFold attains the highest accuracy we measure on PersonaMem-32K and PersonaMem-128K, with margins that widen at the longer history length, and transfers to PrefEval and LongMemEval without target-domain training. Ablations attribute most of the task gain to the reward term and a smaller additional gain to the teacher signal, and memory interventions show that the reader depends on the instance-specific content of its soft memory.

Reliable Parallel Decoding in Masked Diffusion Language Models
在掩蔽扩散语言模型中可靠的并行解码
Abstract
Masked diffusion language models (MDLMs) can generate text efficiently by predicting multiple masked tokens in parallel, but predictions from the same forward pass are not necessarily reliable when committed together. We study when parallel commitment is reliable. Our diagnostics show that confidence alone does not determine a reliable commitment order: confident predictions near the end of the sequence can fix an answer before its supporting computations are established, and downstream predictions become less reliable as the uncertainty of their upstream context grows. At the same time, a single forward pass can already resolve several masked tokens, and predictions that remain stable across the final layers are more likely to be correct. Based on these findings, we propose Reliable Parallel Decoding (RPD), a training-free method that selects candidates by layerwise prediction stability and final confidence, and commits them under a cumulative entropy budget over their preceding masked positions. RPD defers predictions with uncertain upstream context while committing the remaining candidates in parallel, without relying on a fixed block schedule. Across mathematical reasoning and code generation benchmarks on LLaDA and Dream, RPD achieves the highest decoding throughput among the evaluated methods while maintaining or improving accuracy.

掩蔽扩散语言模型（MDLMs）通过并行预测多个掩蔽标记，可以高效生成文本，但来自同一次前向传播的预测在一起提交时不一定可靠。我们研究了何时并行提交是可靠的。我们的诊断结果表明，仅仅依靠置信度并不能决定可靠的提交顺序：在序列末尾附近的自信预测可能在其支持计算尚未建立之前就固定了答案，而随着上游上下文的不确定性增加，下游预测变得不那么可靠。同时，单次前向传播已经可以解析多个掩蔽标记，并且在最终层中保持稳定的预测更可能是正确的。基于这些发现，我们提出了可靠的并行解码（Reliable Parallel Decoding，RPD），这是一种无训练的方法，通过逐层预测稳定性和最终置信度选择候选，并在其前置掩蔽位置的累积熵预算下提交它们。RPD在提交剩余候选的同时，推迟具有不确定上游上下文的预测，而不依赖于固定的区块调度。在LLaDA和Dream的数学推理和代码生成基准测试中，RPD在评估的方法中实现了最高的解码吞吐量，同时保持或提高了准确性。

Memory Consolidation Flattens the Temporal Shape of User Facts
记忆巩固扁平化用户事实的时间形态
Abstract
Long-term memory systems turn conversations into short stored notes. A note can keep a user fact while losing evidence about whether the fact still holds. For example, "I am driving a Peugeot" can become "The user drives a Peugeot," which drops the cue that the activity is ongoing. We call this aspectual flattening and measure it with LAPSE, a benchmark of matched user statements that differ only in temporal form. We find that memory writers flatten aspect selectively. Three writer models flattened the progressive statement but kept its simple-present match in 244 of 381 pairs, never the reverse. The asymmetry holds in all 11 model configurations tested and in the installed pipelines mem0, Graphiti, and Letta. The lost cue matters to later readers. In exploratory tests, changing only the stored verb shifted all three readers' estimates that a fact still holds. When readers could ask the user before acting, two of three acted without asking more often on flattened notes. Our planned memory-use task could not detect this, because readers there acted on almost every stored fact, even expired ones. Memory writing can thus remove evidence that later models use to decide whether to act.

长期记忆系统将对话转化为短期存储的笔记。一个笔记可以保留用户事实，但失去关于该事实是否仍然成立的证据。例如，“我正在开一辆标致”可以变成“用户驾驶一辆标致”，这丢失了活动正在进行的提示。我们称这种现象为方面扁平化，并通过 LAPSE（一个仅在时间形式上有所不同的匹配用户陈述的基准）进行测量。我们发现记忆写入者选择性地扁平化方面。三种写入者模型扁平化了进行时的陈述，但在 381 对中的 244 对中保留了其简单现在时的匹配，反之则从未发生。这种不对称性在测试的所有 11 种模型配置中都存在，并且在已安装的管道 mem0、Graphiti 和 Letta 中也得到了验证。丢失的提示对后来的读者很重要。在探索性测试中，仅改变存储的动词就改变了所有三位读者对某一事实仍然成立的估计。当读者在行动前可以询问用户时，三位读者中有两位在扁平化的笔记上更频繁地采取行动而不再询问。我们计划的记忆使用任务无法检测到这一点，因为在该任务中，读者几乎对每一个存储的事实（甚至过期的事实）都采取了行动。因此，记忆写入可以移除后续模型用以决定是否采取行动的证据。

FinRT: Distilling Adaptive Red-Teaming Strategies into Reusable Adversarial Generators in Consumer Finance
FinRT：将自适应红队策略提炼为可重用的消费者金融对抗生成器
Abstract
In regulated industries like consumer finance, seemingly harmless user queries can exploit large language model vulnerabilities, triggering safety failures and pushing responses dangerously close to policy limits. Existing automated red-teaming methods trade off attack effectiveness against generation cost, while treating coverage, severity, and diversity as incidental rather than joint objectives. We introduce FinRT, a structured framework that builds reusable adversarial prompt generators from adaptive red-teaming strategies. Across the six victim models in consumer finance, FinRT substantially outperforms adaptive search baselines while amortizing target-facing attack generation into a reusable generator. FinRT nearly doubles the attack success rate over the adaptive baseline Rainbow Teaming (32.9% vs. 17.2%), increases maximum adversarial severity by 33%, and preserves comparable intra-policy-domain semantic diversity to iterative search methods. Our method achieves high cross-model transferability while exhibiting distinct victim-family specialization patterns.

Similar Choices, Different Attention: Cross-Modal Associations in Humans and Vision-Language Models
相似选择，不同注意力：人类与视觉语言模型中的跨模态关联
Abstract
Cross-modal associations are systematic pairings of features across modalities, such as the association of 'bouba' with round shapes and 'kiki' with sharp shapes. Prior work has compared humans and vision-language models (VLMs) on such associations, but often using different stimuli or tasks between humans and models. Here, we ask whether VLMs align with humans not only in choices, but also in where they look when making those choices. We study both VLMs and humans (N = 53), presenting them with the same stimuli, a pseudo-word and two images, and record participants' choices and eye movements, which we release. We find choice alignment in a few larger VLMs, but their saliency matches human gaze less closely than a center-bias baseline, a fixed Gaussian at the center of each image. Fine-tuning small VLMs on human choices brings their choice alignment to the level of a human majority-vote reference on unseen words and images, yet their attention still matches human gaze less closely than this baseline. Training model attention on human gaze raises attention-gaze correlation without improving choice alignment, and a single average gaze map per image position raises it by a similar amount. Matching human choices, or even human gaze patterns, is therefore not sufficient evidence of human-aligned cross-modal processing.

Large-scale factor analysis shows machine intelligence is only partially interpretable
大规模因子分析显示机器智能仅部分可解释
Abstract
A common assumption in language model development is that cognitive abilities are organized around a general, domain-free intelligence factor, like fluid intelligence in humans. This assumption is rarely tested directly, and prior attempts have done so only at a much smaller scale. We take a latent variable approach to intelligence in language models, similar to how psychometricians study psychological constructs. Performance in every specific problem set is influenced by a domain-specific and a domain-agnostic latent factor. Using factor analysis as a dimension-reduction technique, we analyzed 13,251 published evaluation scores covering 1,618 language models across 456 different text-only benchmarks. Due to the super-sparse nature of the dataset, we triangulate our analysis across different data densifiers and imputation methods. A robust pattern across different modes of bias is that 1. A general intelligence factor accounts for 70.8% of variance in model performance at our most generous estimate, and far less than that in most of our solutions, 2. Content-similar benchmarks do not necessarily cluster together, and 3. The $g$ factor is not dominated by any common theme, and there is a lack of evidence that it is well-proxied by standard "intelligence" benchmarks. Our findings go against current endeavors of defining, identifying, and targeting general intelligence as a tangible construct in language model development. This leaves the strategy of targeting a single conceptual ability without support, since the first-order abilities it would have to reach are often partially idiosyncratic and not identifiable in practice.

Retrieval Sensitivity to Identity Signals in Queries
查询中身份信号的检索敏感性
Abstract
Dense retrievers decide which documents reach users and the language models that use them, yet they are typically evaluated with neutral queries. We ask whether the identity signals that real users express in their queries---political ideology and dialect---bias what a retriever returns. We design evaluations in two domains, political news and consumer-health questions, each pairing a controlled synthetic set that varies only the identity signal with naturalistic queries. Across five dense retrievers and a sparse baseline, every retriever (i) retrieves articles that align with the query's own political lean and (ii) performs worse for questions written in African American Language (AAL) than in White Mainstream English (WME). Two analyses tie these gaps to queries' identity signals beyond surface vocabulary: partialling out an aggregate lexical-asymmetry score leaves the synthetic gaps largely intact, and linear probes recover lean and dialect from the retrievers' query embeddings beyond token-level features. Left unaddressed, such retrieval biases risk contributing to polarization and reinforcing the health disparities already faced by AAL speakers. Code is available at https://github.com/Andrewtcr/bias-ret.

When Updating Stops Being Learning: Rethinking LLM Self-Evolution via learnable information gain
当更新不再是学习：通过可学习的信息增益重新思考大型语言模型的自我演化
Abstract
Self-evolution lets large language models (LLMs) improve iteratively using their own generated data, but often suffers from self-evolution degeneration: performance improves, plateaus, then declines. Existing methods address this issue at the component level, targeting either the Questioner or the Solver, and overlook that self-evolution is a tightly coupled system. We propose a holistic framework based on learnable information gain, which measures how much novel, parameterizable information a round provides relative to the previous round. Theoretically, this gain equals the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the two rounds' data distributions plus their entropy change. Practically, it is estimated by fitting a small language model to the previous round and scoring new data via negative log-likelihood. Based on this diagnostic, we propose ATRI (Adaptive Training Regulation via Information-gain), which reweights samples within a round and halts training across rounds when information gain remains low. Experiments on popular datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposal.

自我演化使大型语言模型（LLMs）能够通过自身生成的数据进行迭代改进，但常常遭遇自我演化退化的问题：性能提升、停滞，然后下降。现有方法在组件层面解决这一问题，针对提问者或求解者，但忽视了自我演化是一个紧密耦合的系统。我们提出了一种基于可学习信息增益的整体框架，该框架衡量每轮相对于前一轮提供了多少新颖的、可参数化的信息。从理论上讲，这一增益等于两轮数据分布之间的Kullback-Leibler散度加上它们的熵变化。从实践角度看，通过将一个小型语言模型拟合到前一轮并通过负对数似然评分新数据来估计这一增益。基于这一诊断，我们提出了ATRI（通过信息增益的自适应训练调节），该方法在一轮内重新加权样本，并在信息增益保持较低时停止跨轮训练。对流行数据集的实验表明了我们提案的优越性。

DraftTrace: A Multi-View Analytics Environment for AI-Integrated Writing
DraftTrace：一个多视角分析环境，用于AI集成写作
Abstract
Generative AI has changed how students produce writing assignments. The final artifact is no longer sufficient to understand the process through which it was produced. We introduce DraftTrace, a writing environment that jointly captures three complementary views of writing: the final product, the writing process and interactions with an integrated AI-assistant. DraftTrace reconstructs how a document develops over time and organizes these signals into submission, longitudinal, and class-level analytics for instructors. We deployed DraftTrace in a graduate NLP course with 81 students and compared their sessions with LLM-generated responses entered by automated tools and with copy-typed responses. While product measures distinguish differences in text formulation, process measures distinguish differences in how text is entered. Considering both views together helps characterize cases such as copy-typing. Interaction traces show that students use the assistant differently across stages of writing: to clarify the question at an early stage and to verify answers at a later stage. A preliminary instructor survey highlights the importance of multi-view writing analytics and their interpretability.

Grounded Revision vs. Prior Injection: Probing Retrieval-Augmented Patent Claim Amendment
基于检索的修订与先前注入：探讨检索增强的专利权利要求修正
Abstract
Retrieval-augmented generation is widely used in professional writing, yet whether retrieval grounds revision or merely injects templates is rarely tested where "correct" has a definable meaning. Patent claim amendment supplies that signal: the examiner names the attacked limitation and cites prior art, providing per-case ground truth. We release three artifacts: (i) a corpus of 7,385 USPTO prosecution cases with XML-aligned pre/post claims, rejection, and cited prior art; (ii) a seven-probe battery comparing random and structural-match retrieval as two policies under a fixed prompt scaffold; (iii) a deterministic five-channel metric (C1-C3 and C5 in main, C4 supplementary) requiring no LLM evaluation. Across 9,600 pre-registered calls on four frontier LLMs (Claude Sonnet 4, Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5.4, GPT-4o-mini), no tested model exhibits detectable classical prior-injection behavior; retrieval effects are small and direction-inconsistent between random and structural retrieval, and the null is unchanged under a dense (semantic) retriever, across retrieval depths k in {1,3,5,10}, and under a paraphrase-sensitive grounding metric.

SEED: Self-Speculative Decoding via Implicit Encoder-Decoder
SEED：通过隐式编码器-解码器的自我推测解码
Abstract
Self-speculative decoding accelerates large language model (LLM) inference by drafting tokens from the target model itself, but faces a sharp tradeoff between the quality and cost of the draft. Early-exit methods produce drafts cheaply by terminating computation at intermediate layers, but forgo the deeper representations that later layers provide and thus suffer in draft quality. Multi-token prediction preserves draft quality by emitting from the model's final hidden states, but pays for a full forward pass to produce those states at every drafting step. We propose self-speculative encoder-decoder (SEED), a self-speculative method that obtains high-quality drafts cheaply by reusing the deep contextual representations already computed during verification. We reinterpret the standard decoder-only transformer as an implicit encoder-decoder: the first layers (encoder) build deep contextual representations, and the last few layers (decoder) emit tokens from them. Encoding and verification are merged into a single step: verification is performed by the full encoder-decoder, and the contextual representations of the verified prefix are cached for reuse during drafting. Drafting is therefore very fast: between verifications, the lightweight decoder drafts multiple tokens autoregressively, each conditioned on the cached representations and on preceding drafts. Experiments across multiple benchmarks show that SEED achieves up to 2.7$\times$ average speedup on 4B-scale models, outperforming both early-exit and MTP-style self-speculative baselines and running 28% faster than the state-of-the-art EAGLE-3, while preserving or even improving the generation quality of standard autoregressive fine-tuning.

自我推测解码通过从目标模型本身草拟标记，加速大型语言模型（LLM）推理，但在草拟质量和成本之间面临明显的权衡。早期退出方法通过在中间层终止计算以低成本生成草拟，但放弃了后续层提供的更深层次表示，从而导致草拟质量下降。多标记预测通过从模型的最终隐藏状态发出标记来保持草拟质量，但在每个草拟步骤中都需要进行完整的前向传播以生成这些状态。我们提出了自我推测编码器-解码器（SEED），这是一种自我推测方法，通过重用在验证过程中已经计算的深层上下文表示，以低成本获得高质量的草拟。我们将标准的仅解码器变换器重新解释为隐式编码器-解码器：前几层（编码器）构建深层上下文表示，而最后几层（解码器）则从中发出标记。编码和验证合并为一个步骤：通过完整的编码器-解码器进行验证，并缓存已验证前缀的上下文表示以便在草拟过程中重用。因此，草拟速度非常快：在验证之间，轻量级解码器自回归地草拟多个标记，每个标记都以缓存的表示和前面的草拟为条件。多个基准测试的实验表明，SEED在4B规模模型上实现了高达2.7倍的平均加速，超越了早期退出和MTP风格的自我推测基线，并比最先进的EAGLE-3快28%，同时保持或甚至改善了标准自回归微调的生成质量。代码可在 https://github.com/lhk2004/SEED 获取。

Generating Edit-Inducing Questions for AI Research Manuscripts
生成促进编辑的问题以支持人工智能研究手稿
Abstract
We study the ability of LLMs to generate edit-inducing questions whose answer will improve a paper draft. On a dataset of paired submission and camera-ready papers from ICLR and NeurIPS, we compare the helpfulness of questions from GPT models with or without full paper context to that of human reviewers. GPT produces more edit-inducing questions and its questions are associated with more extensive edits and cover a broader range of edited content compared to questions from reviewers. However, a much smaller percentage of the GPT questions are edit-inducing. Our analyses confirm that automated questions can be beneficial to authors and highlight an example task where proper attending to long context deteriorates reasoning model ability to produce helpful output.

G\"odel Forest: Balancing Search Depth and Breadth for Data-Centric Recursive Self-Improvement
哥德尔森林：平衡数据中心递归自我改进的搜索深度与广度
Abstract
Recursive self-improvement (RSI) aims to achieve compounding gains by having models improve themselves. While most existing RSI systems optimize external agent harnesses or prompts around a frozen base model, data-centric RSI directly updates the model's own parameters by training on agent-generated data. However, because validating data strategies requires expensive model training, existing methods face a fundamental dilemma: a single agent gets trapped in narrow directions and lacks exploration breadth, while naive parallel search or heavy trace sharing sacrifices long-horizon search depth. To address this challenge, we introduce G"odel Forest, a multi-agent framework that organizes recursive self-improvement as an ensemble of co-evolving search trees. In G"odel Forest, each agent autonomously grows a persistent tree, deepening, branching, or pruning data strategies based on model feedback to secure depth, while parallel trees explore distinct regions of the data space to expand breadth. Crucially, rather than leaving trees isolated or flooding them with heavy execution logs, a dynamically co-evolving memory connects the forest: agents continuously distill their successes and failures into compact procedural lessons anchored to a global leaderboard. Through this forest ecosystem, a dead-end in one tree instantly warns the whole forest against unpromising paths, while an empirical breakthrough quickly seeds new exploration branches in neighboring trees. Evaluated on RSIBench-Data across six diverse domains, G"odel Forest outperforms the single-agent baseline by an average of 10.70% while reducing wall-clock time on five tasks. Ablations confirm that co-evolving shared memory yields a +7.00% gain over independent parallel search, demonstrating that collective distillation is key to scalable self-improvement.

递归自我改进（RSI）旨在通过让模型自我改进来实现复合收益。尽管大多数现有的RSI系统围绕冻结的基础模型优化外部代理的利用或提示，但数据中心的RSI直接通过在代理生成的数据上训练来更新模型自身的参数。然而，由于验证数据策略需要昂贵的模型训练，现有方法面临一个基本困境：单一代理陷入狭窄的方向，缺乏探索的广度，而幼稚的并行搜索或重度的追踪共享则牺牲了长时间搜索的深度。为了解决这一挑战，我们引入了哥德尔森林（G"odel Forest），一个将递归自我改进组织为共同演化搜索树的多代理框架。在哥德尔森林中，每个代理自主地生长一棵持久树，基于模型反馈深化、分支或修剪数据策略以确保深度，同时并行树探索数据空间的不同区域以扩展广度。关键是，与其让树木孤立或用重执行日志淹没它们，一个动态共同演化的记忆连接了整个森林：代理不断将他们的成功与失败提炼为紧凑的程序性经验教训，并与全球排行榜相结合。通过这个森林生态系统，一棵树中的死胡同立即警告整个森林避免不太有前途的路径，而经验突破则迅速在邻近树中播下新的探索分支。在六个不同领域的RSIBench-Data上评估，哥德尔森林的表现比单一代理基线平均提高了10.70%，同时在五个任务上减少了实际运行时间。消融实验确认，共同演化的共享记忆比独立的并行搜索提高了7.00%的收益，证明集体提炼是可扩展自我改进的关键。代码可在 https://github.com/evolvent-ai/Godel-Forest 获取。

ProgressCompass: Embodied Progress Reward Models Are Lost Without the Right Context
ProgressCompass：缺乏正确上下文的具身进展奖励模型将失去效用
Abstract
Embodied agents now take on ever longer tasks. For long tasks, knowing only whether a task finally succeeds or fails says little; the steps along the way matter. Progress Reward Models (PRMs) score how far a task has come at every step, and serve as dense rewards, verifiers and monitors. Yet in long tasks the current frame alone often cannot tell how far the task has come, because progress depends on what happened before. We call this problem context-dependent progress estimation. Existing benchmarks on progress estimation mostly focus on short tasks whose progress can be read from the current observation, and whether PRMs can estimate progress when context is needed remains underexplored. We therefore build ContextProgress-Bench, with 24 manipulation tasks for 120 episodes. The benchmark covers three settings: (i) State Recall, where information needed for progress appeared earlier but is not in the current frame; (ii) Sequence Tracking, where steps follow a fixed order, so progress requires knowing which steps are done and which comes next; and (iii) Recurrence Disambiguation, where look-alike frames sit at very different progress. We then run a paired diagnosis: each PRM keeps the same input format in both runs, and in one run its instruction integrates the right context. Even PRMs that read the entire history get lost in estimating progress, yet with the right context the same five models cut their progress error by 77-82%. Embodied PRMs are thus not incapable of progress estimation, but lost without the right context. We therefore propose ProgressCompass, an autonomous agentic loop that reorients an existing PRM and uses current general-purpose VLMs to supply the context the PRM needs. Wrapped in the loop, the same frozen PRM cuts its progress error by 63% and raises its rank agreement by 76%. With such a compass, PRMs estimate progress far better on longer, more complex tasks.

具身智能体现在承担越来越长的任务。对于长任务，仅仅知道任务最终是成功还是失败并不能提供太多信息；任务过程中的每一步都很重要。进展奖励模型（Progress Reward Models, PRMs）在每一步评估任务的进展程度，并作为密集奖励、验证器和监控工具。然而，在长任务中，当前帧往往无法单独判断任务的进展，因为进展依赖于之前发生的事情。我们将这一问题称为上下文依赖的进展估计。现有的进展估计基准主要集中在短任务上，这些任务的进展可以从当前观察中读取，而当需要上下文时，PRMs是否能够估计进展仍然未得到充分探讨。因此，我们构建了ContextProgress-Bench，包含120个回合的24个操作任务。该基准涵盖三种设置：(i) 状态回忆（State Recall），在此设置中，进展所需的信息在之前出现，但不在当前帧中；(ii) 序列跟踪（Sequence Tracking），在此设置中，步骤遵循固定顺序，因此进展需要知道哪些步骤已完成，哪些步骤接下来进行；(iii) 重复消歧（Recurrence Disambiguation），在此设置中，外观相似的帧在进展上却处于非常不同的状态。然后，我们进行了一次配对诊断：每个PRM在两次运行中保持相同的输入格式，并且在一次运行中，其指令整合了正确的上下文。即使是读取整个历史的PRMs在估计进展时也会迷失方向，但在正确的上下文下，同样的五个模型将其进展误差降低了77-82%。因此，具身PRMs并非无法进行进展估计，而是在缺乏正确上下文的情况下迷失方向。因此，我们提出了ProgressCompass，一个自主的智能循环，重新定向现有的PRM，并利用当前的通用视觉语言模型（VLMs）提供PRM所需的上下文。在这个循环中，同样的冻结PRM将其进展误差降低了63%，并将其排名一致性提高了76%。有了这样的指南针，PRMs在更长、更复杂的任务上能够更好地估计进展。

Video2Skill: From Streaming Experience to Reusable Embodied Skills
Video2Skill：从流媒体体验到可重用的具身技能
Abstract
Manipulation behaviors vary widely across objects and scenes, but they share a small set of reusable skills, and planning with these skills helps embodied agents generalize to new tasks. Yet an agent can only plan with skills it knows. Recovering skills from observed experience, the inverse of planning, builds this knowledge over time and yields skill data for training future agents. Vision-Language Models (VLMs) describe individual manipulation events well, but can they organize a stream of events into reusable skills? We formulate this problem as Streaming Embodied Skill Discovery (SESD): a model watches videos in sequence and maintains a persistent skill library that shapes its later decisions. To systematically measure this ability, we introduce Video2Skill, a benchmark that covers robot tabletop manipulation and human kitchen activity and tests three core capabilities: (i) locating manipulation events in time, (ii) grouping events of the same transformation, and (iii) deciding when to reuse an existing skill or create a new one. Across 19 open-source VLMs, many models group events at near-chance level, and scale does not consistently help. Their errors depend on how perception and library updates are coupled: joint models merge distinct transformations into one skill, while models that update the library from text descriptions duplicate recurring ones. Supervised fine-tuning, including our counterfactual library-state rebalancing (CLaRe), improves grouping but exposes a deeper bottleneck: trained models consolidate familiar skills yet rarely expand the library. Their libraries stall below half the reference size, and transformations unseen in training are located in time but almost never given a new skill. Recognizing when existing skills are insufficient thus emerges as the central challenge.

Lost in Conversation or Lost in Translation? Diagnosing Multi-Turn Degradation in RAG
迷失在对话中还是迷失在翻译中？诊断 RAG 中的多轮退化
Abstract
When conversing with large language models (LLMs), users often begin with a simple question and build towards a multi-hop question through follow-up turns. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and its graph-based variant (GraphRAG) have become the dominant approaches for grounding LLM responses in external evidence, yet both are evaluated almost exclusively on single-turn, fully specified queries. We systematically investigate this evaluation mismatch through a large-scale simulation study. Building on prior work on multi-turn LLM evaluation, we transform questions from multi-hop question answering (QA) benchmarks into underspecified conversations and evaluate ten LLM assistants with eight retrieval systems across 1.5 million simulated conversations. Our findings reveal that multi-turn interaction causes widespread performance degradation, incurring relative performance drops of up to 21% and increasing unreliability by 47%, making RAG systems simultaneously less accurate and less reliable. We identify two distinct failure modes behind this degradation. Systems are either lost in translation, where conversational rephrasing distorts the retrieval query, or lost in conversation, where retrieval succeeds but the LLM fails to synthesize evidence distributed across turns.

LAURA: Knowledge Distillation for Interpretable Ambiguous Clause Identification in Legal Contracts
LAURA：用于法律合同中可解释模糊条款识别的知识蒸馏
Abstract
Legal contracts contain ambiguities that expose enterprises to financial and legal risks. Some ambiguities allow flexible interpretation without triggering disputes, while others lead to significant legal conflicts. This makes identification alone insufficient, and interpretable rationale analysis essential. We propose LAURA, a post-training framework for interpretable ambiguous clause identification. LAURA leverages knowledge distillation with an IRAC-Unlearning prompting technique to transfer knowledge from a teacher LLM to an open-weight student model (<=1B parameters), which is then trained using a joint objective combining classification and rationale generation losses. The framework supports both legal and non-legal stakeholders in making informed decisions about which ambiguities require further attention. Extensive experiments across 7 baselines and 7 open-weight models demonstrate that LAURA with Flan-T5 (250M) delivers state-of-the-art interpretability over all interpretable baselines while matching the identification performance of the best-performing opaque baseline.

ATTUNER: Recomputation-Free KV Cache Reuse via Query-Side Adaptation
ATTUNER：通过查询端适应实现无重计算的键值缓存重用
Abstract
Large language model (LLM) agents repeatedly load reusable content, such as skills, documents, and memory entries, into the current context. Re-encoding this content for every request wastes computation. Position-independent caching (PIC) alleviates this by encoding each artifact independently and reusing its key-value (KV) states at arbitrary positions, but it incurs a quality loss relative to full-context prefill. Existing methods repair this loss by restoring global position IDs or recomputing selected tokens. In this work, we isolate the source of the loss, finding that the positional mismatch has minor effect, and independently cached artifacts retain faithful representations: reading a provided artifact stays largely accurate, and performance degrades only when the model must select among multiple artifacts. Moreover, replacing PIC's attention scores with full-prefill scores recovers performance with the cached KV unchanged, localizing the failure to the attention rather than KV recomputation. Motivated by this, we propose \textsc{Attuner}, a query-side adaptation method that learns to read a frozen artifact cache. \textsc{Attuner} inserts low-rank adapters into the query projections and is trained by distilling full-prefill distribution into the student. It trains fewer than 0.05\% of the model parameters and, at inference, requires neither cache recomputation nor a full-context reference. On Qwen3-4B and Qwen3-8B across seven benchmarks covering skills, documents, memory, and code, \textsc{Attuner} substantially outperforms prior PIC baselines in both in-domain and out-of-domain settings, matches full-context prefill quality while providing up to $3.73\times$ speedup.

大型语言模型（LLM）代理反复将可重用内容（如技能、文档和记忆条目）加载到当前上下文中。为了每个请求重新编码这些内容会浪费计算资源。位置无关缓存（PIC）通过独立编码每个工件并在任意位置重用其键值（KV）状态来缓解这一问题，但相对于全上下文预填充，它会导致质量损失。现有方法通过恢复全局位置ID或重新计算选定的标记来修复这种损失。在本研究中，我们隔离了损失的来源，发现位置不匹配的影响较小，独立缓存的工件保持了忠实的表示：读取提供的工件基本上是准确的，只有当模型必须在多个工件之间选择时，性能才会下降。此外，用全预填充分数替换PIC的注意力分数可以在缓存的KV不变的情况下恢复性能，将失败局限于注意力而非KV重计算。基于此，我们提出了 extsc{Attuner}，一种查询端适应方法，学习读取冻结的工件缓存。 extsc{Attuner}在查询投影中插入低秩适配器，并通过将全预填充分布蒸馏到学生模型中进行训练。它训练的模型参数少于0.05\%，在推理时既不需要缓存重计算，也不需要全上下文参考。在Qwen3-4B和Qwen3-8B上，针对涵盖技能、文档、记忆和代码的七个基准， extsc{Attuner}在领域内和领域外设置中均显著优于先前的PIC基线，匹配全上下文预填充质量，同时提供高达$3.73 imes$的加速。

Distilling What Matters: Confidence-Aware Selective Distillation for Large Language Models
提炼重要信息：面向信心的选择性蒸馏用于大型语言模型
Abstract
Knowledge Distillation (KD) trains a smaller-capacity student model to imitate a larger-capacity teacher model by matching output distributions, implicitly assuming the teacher to be a reliable oracle. In large language models (LLMs), this assumption often fails: teacher predictions can exhibit high entropy and hallucinations, causing standard KD to degrade well-calibrated student priors. We propose CaRE-KD, a confidence-gated distillation framework that replaces static objectives with uncertainty-adaptive optimization. CaRE-KD has two components: a token-level loss (CaRE-Divergence) that adaptively switches between Forward and Reverse KL divergence based on teacher--student confidence, and a batch-level epistemic rejection mechanism (Revival) that suppresses updates when the teacher is more uncertain than the student. We provide a gradient-level analysis showing how this dual-granularity design induces a conditional calibration mechanism that prior static divergences cannot reproduce. Empirically, across eight teacher--student pairs and eleven benchmarks spanning instruction following, chat alignment, code generation, and mathematical reasoning, CaRE-KD delivers consistent gains over strong baselines (Skewed-KL, $\alpha$--$\beta$ divergence). Highlights include up to $+3.2$ average ROUGE-L on instruction-following tasks, $+2.1$ pass@1 on MBPP, $+1.7$ accuracy on GSM8k, and $+1.8$ accuracy on CollegeMath over the strongest baseline, with consistent gains in LLM-as-a-judge factuality (up to $+2.5$ per task over Skewed-RKL). Revival further acts as a principled, loss-agnostic plug-in that systematically strengthens existing distillation objectives by filtering epistemically unreliable teacher supervision.

知识蒸馏（Knowledge Distillation, KD）通过匹配输出分布训练一个较小容量的学生模型以模仿一个较大容量的教师模型，隐含地假设教师是一个可靠的权威。然而，在大型语言模型（Large Language Models, LLMs）中，这一假设往往失效：教师的预测可能表现出高熵和幻觉，导致标准的知识蒸馏使得学生的先验分布失去良好的校准。我们提出了CaRE-KD，一个基于信心的蒸馏框架，它用不确定性自适应优化替代了静态目标。CaRE-KD包含两个组成部分：一个基于令牌级别的损失（CaRE-Divergence），根据教师与学生的信心自适应地在前向和反向KL散度之间切换，以及一个批量级别的认知拒绝机制（Revival），当教师的不确定性高于学生时抑制更新。我们提供了梯度级别的分析，展示了这一双粒度设计如何引入一个条件校准机制，而先前的静态散度无法重现。通过八对教师-学生模型和涵盖指令跟随、聊天对齐、代码生成和数学推理的十一项基准测试，CaRE-KD在强基线（Skewed-KL, α-β散度）上提供了一致的提升。亮点包括在指令跟随任务上平均提升$+3.2$的ROUGE-L，在MBPP上提升$+2.1$的pass@1，在GSM8k上提升$+1.7$的准确率，以及在CollegeMath上提升$+1.8$的准确率，相较于最强基线，在LLM作为判断者的事实性上也有一致的提升（每个任务相比Skewed-RKL提升高达$+2.5$）。Revival进一步作为一个原则性的、与损失无关的插件，系统性地增强现有的蒸馏目标，通过过滤认知上不可靠的教师监督。

VAA-CSEC: Vote-guided Advantage Allocation for Chinese Semantic Error Correction
VAA-CSEC：基于投票引导的中文语义错误修正优势分配
Abstract
Chinese Semantic Error Correction (CSEC) targets semantic errors in Chinese text, which are typically more subtle and complex than spelling and grammatical errors but remain relatively underexplored. Existing LLM-based approaches face two recurring obstacles in this task: over-correction, and unclear interaction between Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning and self-consistency decoding, such that the benefits brought by CoT cannot be reliably transferred to final corrections. We propose Vote-guided Advantage Allocation for CSEC (VAA-CSEC), a multi-stage framework that combines CoT distillation, Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Reinforcement Learning (RL) and self-consistency decoding. During RL, we design a task-specific reward function that directly aligned with the minimal-editing principle of CSEC. We further introduce Group-Level Relative Policy Optimization (GLPO), which reallocates GRPO advantages according to the margin between individual rollout rewards and the vote-aggregated group reward, aligning the RL training objective with the self-consistency objective used at inference time. Experiments on CSED-C and NaSGEC-Exam show that VAA-CSEC outperforms all LLM-based baselines on CSED-C with an F0.5 of 47.72%, achieves the highest recall of 42.15% among all methods, and establishes a new state of the art of 41.55% F0.5 on NaSGEC-Exam.

Rethinking Multimodal Fake News Detection in the Generative AI Era
在生成性人工智能时代重新思考多模态假新闻检测
Abstract
Generative content is increasingly entering the production and dissemination of news, transforming fake news from manually fabricated or simply manipulated material into complex forms in which native and generated content jointly participate. Existing multimodal fake news detection research primarily focuses on veracity assessment and rarely characterizes how generativity differences affect the reliability of evidence. In contrast, AIGC detection primarily determines whether content is generated or modified by generative models, but it does not by itself establish whether the underlying news event is true. To bridge the separation between these tasks in data and evaluation, we construct Weibo26, a multimodal fake news detection dataset for generative-content scenarios. On this basis, we propose the Generativity-Aware Hierarchical Reasoning (GAHR) framework, which combines global judgment with local correction so that generativity information participates in news-veracity reasoning. Experiments on multiple existing fake news detection benchmarks and Weibo26 show that GAHR achieves competitive veracity-detection performance while effectively identifying generative content.

Momentum-Coupled Rubric Adaptation for Detailed Image Captioning
动量耦合的评分标准适应用于详细图像描述
Abstract
Detailed image captioning requires accurate and comprehensive descriptions of fine-grained visual content, yet caption quality spans factual accuracy, information coverage, and clarity. Compared with conventional methods that rely mainly on high-quality supervision or holistic rewards, rubric-based reinforcement learning decomposes these requirements into explicit criteria and provides targeted, structured feedback. However, existing methods often use separate models for caption generation, rubric construction, and judging, which may lead to inconsistent interpretations across roles. Some dynamic rubric methods alternate updates between the caption policy and rubric generator while keeping the judge fixed, but staged optimization may still leave rubric construction and judging out of step with policy optimization. We propose MoCo Rubric, a two-stage framework that coordinates these roles. First, role-conditioned, shared-parameter multi-task supervised fine-tuning equips a single vision--language model to serve as the Caption Policy, Rubric Generator, and Rubric Judge. Then, the Generator constructs rubrics online from captions sampled by the current Policy, reference captions, and image evidence. The Judge provides rubric-based rewards, and only the Policy receives GRPO updates. As Policy updates change the candidates being evaluated, we use an exponential moving average of the Policy parameters to update one momentum model shared by the Generator and Judge. This gradual transfer lets both rubric roles track Policy updates without separate RL optimization while smoothing parameter changes that could disrupt their rubric capabilities under direct synchronization. Across five captioning benchmarks, MoCo Rubric achieves an average pairwise win rate of 72.83\%, the best mean rank in blind ranking, and the highest average score in caption-based question answering.

详细的图像描述需要对细粒度视觉内容进行准确和全面的描述，而描述质量涵盖了事实准确性、信息覆盖和清晰度。与主要依赖高质量监督或整体奖励的传统方法相比，基于评分标准的强化学习将这些要求分解为明确的标准，并提供针对性的、结构化的反馈。然而，现有方法通常为描述生成、评分标准构建和评判使用独立模型，这可能导致各角色之间的解释不一致。一些动态评分标准方法在保持评判者固定的情况下，在描述策略和评分标准生成器之间交替更新，但阶段性优化仍可能使评分标准构建和评判与策略优化不同步。我们提出了MoCo Rubric，一个协调这些角色的两阶段框架。首先，角色条件的共享参数多任务监督微调使单一的视觉-语言模型能够作为描述策略、评分标准生成器和评分标准评判者。然后，生成器在线构建基于当前策略采样的描述、参考描述和图像证据的评分标准。评判者提供基于评分标准的奖励，只有策略接收GRPO更新。随着策略更新改变被评估的候选项，我们使用策略参数的指数移动平均来更新生成器和评判者共享的动量模型。这种渐进式转移使两个评分标准角色能够跟踪策略更新，而无需单独的强化学习优化，同时平滑可能在直接同步下破坏其评分能力的参数变化。在五个描述基准上，MoCo Rubric实现了72.83%的平均成对胜率，在盲排名中获得最佳平均排名，并在基于描述的问题回答中获得最高平均分。

RAEGNet: Relation-Aware Evidence Graph Network for Harm-Aware Multimodal Fake News Detection
RAEGNet：关系感知证据图网络用于危害感知的多模态假新闻检测
Abstract
Existing multimodal fake news detection methods often introduce external information to assist detection. However, most of them rely on entity-level retrieval and are therefore prone to introducing event-irrelevant noise. Meanwhile, existing methods mainly focus on improving overall performance and do not account for differences in the degree of harm posed by different instances of fake news. To address these limitations, we design an Event-Level Evidence Retrieval Framework (ELERF) and propose a Relation-Aware Evidence Graph Network (RAEGNet). ELERF retrieves external evidence based on the complete event semantics of a news item. RAEGNet constructs a directed graph that incorporates news-evidence stance relations and evidence-evidence interaction relations, and introduces a conditional-harm branch to jointly model authenticity and potential harm. Experimental results demonstrate that RAEGNet outperforms multiple baseline methods across all evaluated metrics on Weibo-21, Fakeddit, and our self-constructed SSS dataset.

现有的多模态假新闻检测方法通常引入外部信息以辅助检测。然而，它们大多数依赖于实体级检索，因此容易引入与事件无关的噪声。同时，现有方法主要集中在提高整体性能上，而未考虑不同假新闻实例所带来的危害程度差异。为了解决这些局限性，我们设计了事件级证据检索框架（Event-Level Evidence Retrieval Framework，ELERF），并提出了关系感知证据图网络（Relation-Aware Evidence Graph Network，RAEGNet）。ELERF基于新闻条目的完整事件语义检索外部证据。RAEGNet构建了一个有向图，结合了新闻-证据立场关系和证据-证据交互关系，并引入了一个条件危害分支，以共同建模真实性和潜在危害。实验结果表明，RAEGNet在Weibo-21、Fakeddit和我们自构建的SSS数据集上，在所有评估指标上均优于多个基线方法。

MultiTalk: Scaling Full-Duplex Speech Models to Long, Multi-Party, Bilingual Conversation
MultiTalk：将全双工语音模型扩展至长时间、多方位的双语对话
Abstract
End-to-end full-duplex speech models have brought open-source machine conversation closer to human-like interaction, yet existing systems remain limited in two intertwined dimensions: long-context robustness and multi-party interaction. Real-world scenarios such as meetings, group lessons, and social-robot reception require a single model to track, contextualize, and respond to multiple speakers over extended durations. Progress is constrained by both data and evaluation: open multi-party speech corpora remain small and are not designed for codec-frame-level full-duplex modeling, while existing long-audio benchmarks focus on passive listening and speech-to-speech benchmarks are mostly short and dyadic. We extend the Moshi paradigm jointly along the long-horizon and multi-party axes in English and Chinese. First, we release 57.6k hours of synthetic training data ($\href{https://huggingface.co/datasets/MultiTalk/MultiTalkPT}{MultiTalkPT}$ and $\href{https://huggingface.co/datasets/MultiTalk/MultiTalkFT}{MultiTalkFT}$) for long-form, multi-party, English-Chinese full-duplex dialogue, with controllable length, participant count, turn-taking, overlap, backchannels, interruptions, addressee shifts, and long-range coreference. Second, we introduce $\href{https://huggingface.co/datasets/MultiTalk/MultiTalkBench}{MultiTalkBench}$, built from real human recordings, for evaluating long-form, multi-party, bilingual full-duplex dialogue. Conversations average 32.6 minutes and include probes for long-range entity tracking, topic coherence, and addressee selection. Third, we train a bilingual Moshi-style model that sustains coherent multi-party English-Chinese conversations over extended durations and substantially outperforms open-source baselines including Moshi, MiniCPM-o-4.5, and Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct on MultiTalkBench.

BaLEEN: Biasing with Latent Encoded Entities for Context-Aware ASR
BaLEEN：基于潜在编码实体的上下文感知自动语音识别偏置
Abstract
Transcribing domain-specific entities and rare proper nouns remains a major challenge in automatic speech recognition (ASR). In this paper, we propose BaLEEN (Biasing with Latent Encoded Entities), a lightweight, hypernetwork-based framework for dynamic contextual adaptation without fine-tuning the underlying ASR model. BaLEEN encodes variable-length contextual keywords using a pretrained language model, compresses them into a fixed sequence of latent vectors via a Perceiver bottleneck, and injects context-dependent bias vectors directly into the intermediate encoder representations of the ASR model. Because both the language model and the backbone ASR model remain entirely frozen during training, BaLEEN operates as a plug-and-play adapter that incurs zero computational overhead at inference time when context biases are precomputed. We evaluate our method on a CTC-based ASR model using a Wikipedia-derived corpus with annotated named entities and synthetic speech. Experimental results demonstrate that BaLEEN reduces keyword miss rate by 8.7% on the test set relative to the unbiased baseline while simultaneously improving overall word error rate by 21% and character error rate by 28%.

Can Language Models Learn to Forecast Stock Prices
语言模型能否学习预测股票价格
Abstract
Post-training has been shown to significantly improve language models' performance on tasks with verifiable outcomes, including mathematical reasoning, software engineering, and computer use. However, whether the same approach can improve forecasting in financial markets is much less clear. Compared with tasks with verifiable outcomes, not only are realized returns noisy, but even what constitutes a relevant information set for making effective predictions is not obvious a priori: the model must decide which observations to gather and then commit to a numerical judgment before the outcome is known. We study this question in a chronological stock-price sandbox, where a language model gathers price, volume, relative-performance, and market-context evidence and predicts a future return. We post-train Qwen3-4B with supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on tool-use demonstrations, then proximal policy optimization (PPO) with a terminal reward given by the forecast score against the realized return. The resulting AURA-4B more than doubles the starting direction--magnitude score, from 20.94 to 43.31, and is comparable to frontier language models on this benchmark. Conditional magnitude agreement rises from 33.3 to 66.2, while directional accuracy changes from 62.9 to 65.4. SFT expands tool use, and PPO further increases the share of ranking and market-context queries. These results show that post-training can substantially improve financial forecasting performance, together with changes in how the model investigates the market, on this outcome-selected benchmark.

Benchmarking Automatic Speech Recognition Tools for Iberian Languages
伊比利亚语言自动语音识别工具的基准测试
Abstract
Comprehensive evaluations of automatic speech recognition (ASR) for Iberian languages remain limited, and low-resource languages, biases, and efficiency trade-offs are underexplored. We benchmark eleven systems, ten open-weight models and one commercial API, across five Iberian languages (Basque, Catalan, Galician, Portuguese, Spanish), with German and Turkish as controls. Evaluation uses an 85-hour dataset covering read speech, broadcast media, and audiobooks, assessing accuracy and efficiency via word error rate (WER) and real-time factors (RTF/RTFx). Results show no single model dominates: accuracy, efficiency, and language coverage present clear trade-offs. Low-resource languages, especially Basque, degrade significantly, highlighting the role of training coverage. We observe consistent sex disparities across most systems, highlighting fairness challenges in multilingual ASR. Overall, the benchmark provides practical guidance for real-world model selection.

Dating the Model: Hidden Dates in System Prompts Affect LLM Evaluation
模型的时间标记：系统提示中的隐藏日期影响大型语言模型评估
Abstract
Reproducibility is essential for scientific research, yet prior work shows that LLM outputs vary with hardware and batching. We identify an overlooked factor: the hidden injection of the current date into system prompts, which users cannot control and which changes every day. Across 9 recent LLMs and 6 datasets spanning multiple-choice QA (MCQA), math reasoning, code generation, and machine translation, performance varies solely with the current date, with deltas of up to 6% on MCQA, 14% on math reasoning, 7% on code generation, and 2.84 BLEU on machine translation. Model rankings also shift, affecting leaderboards. This date effect exceeds other sources of non-determinism, such as batch size and numerical precision. Standard prompting techniques -- chain-of-thought and few-shot prompting -- do not reduce the sensitivity; chain-of-thought even amplifies it. Our findings underscore the need for careful evaluation protocols to ensure reproducibility and fair comparisons in LLM research.

可重复性是科学研究的关键，然而以往的研究表明，大型语言模型（LLM）的输出会因硬件和批处理而有所不同。我们识别出一个被忽视的因素：当前日期的隐性注入到系统提示中，用户无法控制且每天都会变化。在9个近期的LLM和6个涵盖多项选择问答（MCQA）、数学推理、代码生成和机器翻译的数据集上，性能仅因当前日期而异，MCQA的变化幅度高达6%，数学推理14%，代码生成7%，机器翻译的BLEU分数变化为2.84。模型排名也随之变化，影响排行榜。这种日期效应超出了其他非确定性来源的影响，如批处理大小和数值精度。标准提示技术——思维链和少量示例提示——并未降低这种敏感性；思维链甚至加剧了这种现象。我们的研究结果强调了在LLM研究中确保可重复性和公平比较所需的谨慎评估协议。

ER-JEPA: Experience Replay Improves Joint-Embedding Predictive Learning in Language Models
ER-JEPA：经验重放提升语言模型中的联合嵌入预测学习
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) excel at token-level generation but may learn undesirable abstract semantics and lack comprehensive perception. LLM-JEPA mitigates this by aligning different views of the same underlying knowledge via a joint-embedding predictive architecture (JEPA). However, strong alignment does not necessarily lead to accurate, stable predictions. To address this, we propose ER-JEPA, which adds an episodic replay path to LLM-JEPA. ER-JEPA stores training pairs in a memory. At each step, it stores and retrieves relevant data to provide additional supervision. This enables learning from both the current batch and stored training pairs, providing additional supervision for token prediction and representation alignment. Experiments across multiple datasets (NL-RX, GSM8K, Spider, and NQ-Open) demonstrate that ER-JEPA consistently outperforms LLM-JEPA.

Chinese-Jev: Bringing System One Model to Chinese-Language Tasks
Chinese-Jev：将系统一模型应用于中文任务
Abstract
System One models such as Jev offer an efficient alternative to generative language models for tasks that require decisions rather than open-ended responses. However, existing Jev models exhibit limited Chinese-language decision accuracy, restricting their utility in both general and specialized settings. In this paper, we introduce Chinese-Jev, a System One model that addresses this gap through a unified data processing and training pipeline. Our data processing protocol converts heterogeneous Chinese-language annotations into probability targets over candidate options, enabling a shared training formulation across domains and question formats. To enable efficient inference, Chinese-Jev adopts a lightweight encoder-only backbone for text encoding and learns to score candidate answers through decision-oriented training. To address the misalignment between the pre-training distribution and downstream Chinese-language scenarios, we first train the model on a general-purpose corpus of 10 million examples, then fine-tune it separately for the medical, legal, and financial domains. To evaluate decision accuracy and calibration in both general and domain-specific Chinese-language settings, we introduce Chinese-Jev Bench (CJ-Bench). After first-stage pre-training, Chinese-Jev exceeds the accuracy of the closed-source Jev model by 1.24% on general-domain tasks while achieving a 20.3x speedup. Subsequent domain-specific fine-tuning yields a 4.0% accuracy improvement over Jev in medicine and achieves 92% of Jev's average accuracy across specialized domains, with a 17x speedup and an average latency of only 15 ms per example. We further demonstrate on-device deployment of an INT8-quantized model on mobile devices, achieving an inference latency of approximately 1.0 second per decision.

Repetition, Not Length: Isolating the Counting Failure in Neural Text-to-Speech
重复，而非长度：隔离神经文本到语音中的计数失败
Abstract
Text-to-speech models loop, truncate and lose count on text that repeats a phrase many times. We show that repetition itself is what breaks them, not the length that comes with it. Every repeated sentence in our test set is paired with a control of matched sentence and word count in which no word ever repeats back-to-back. Six models from three architectures render the controls almost perfectly and fail the repeated twins: 94.3% against 18.2% exactly right at k >= 6. The gap survives greedy decoding, repetition-penalty sweeps, four independent speech recognisers and 420 analysis specifications without once reversing sign; a held-out fourth architecture lands within a point of its predicted gap, and one of two non-autoregressive baselines shows the same failure. Varying the period of the text shows the failure grows smoothly with periodicity, half of it surviving when no word is adjacent to itself.

AMU:Admission and Memory Update for Personalized Conversations---Structured Memory with SLM Guided Control
AMU：个性化对话的接纳与记忆更新——基于SLM引导控制的结构化记忆
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) have become the foundation of personalized assistants, but maintaining persistent user memory across long-term interactions remains challenging. Existing memory systems often focus on storage, retrieval, or consolidation, while memory writing remains less controlled: transient requests, duplicate statements, and outdated user states may enter memory and later be retrieved for personalization. In this paper, we present AMU: Admission and Memory Update for Personalized Conversations, an SLM-guided (Small language model guided) structured framework for writing-time memory control. AMU uses structured memory filtering to decide what should enter memory and SLM-guided storage management to determine whether an admitted record should be stored separately, discarded as a duplicate, or fused as an update. We evaluate AMU in a controlled memory writing and retrieval setting. Experimental results show that AMU maintains cleaner and more retrievable personalized memories.

SRJudge: Empowering Large Language Models with Selective Reasoning for Fine-Grained Knowledge Concept Tagging
SRJudge：通过选择性推理增强大型语言模型以实现细粒度知识概念标记
Abstract
Knowledge concept tagging aims to assign specific concept or topic labels to educational content, which is essential for both educators and learners in traditional and online teaching practices. Recent work has explored large language models (LLMs) for this task, achieving promising performance. However, LLMs still struggle to select the correct concept from a large-scale candidate set due to the high dimensionality of the decision space. In this paper, we propose a novel three-stage Select-Reason-Judge (SRJudge) framework, which empowers LLMs with selective reasoning capability for fine-grained knowledge concept tagging. Specifically, the Selector in Stage 1 first narrows the candidate concepts to a top-K shortlist by fine-tuning a small language model (SLM), e.g., BERT, since the top-$K$ predictions hit the correct concept in most cases, thereby reducing the decision space of correct candidates. Next, the Stage 2 Reasoner employs a lightweight LLM for refined reasoning over the shortlisted candidates. It further integrates an improved reinforcement learning strategy with a dynamic task-specific reward function and a pruning mechanism to better align with human reasoning preferences. Finally, a larger LLM acts as a judger that evaluates the overall rationality of the reasoning process and its explanations to determine the final output. In addition, we construct two high-quality datasets for further validation, i.e., the biology dataset S_Bio and the physics dataset S_Phy. Experimental results demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines across benchmark datasets, verifying its effectiveness and superiority.

CypherTurn: A Multi-Turn Benchmark for Conversational Text-to-Cypher Evaluation and the Autonomy Divergence
CypherTurn：对话式文本到Cypher评估的多轮基准及自主性差异
Abstract
Graph databases are increasingly queried through natural language, yet every existing benchmark evaluates isolated single-turn queries rather than the multi-turn sessions through which analysts actually work. We introduce CypherTurn, the first benchmark for conversational Text-to-Cypher evaluation, comprising 721 sessions and 5,927 turns across 7 knowledge graphs and 13 conversational phenomena. We evaluate 15 models under a guided oracle protocol and a fully autonomous agentic protocol, yielding four findings. First, the best model reaches only 64.7% execution accuracy, and session-level correctness remains below 5%. Second, despite strong overall rank correlation, frontier models exhibit a consequential reordering of the top of the leaderboard under autonomous operation, a phenomenon we term the Autonomy Divergence, which reveals error-management as a partially independent capability from raw generation skill. Third, scaling action budgets from x3 to x10 fails to close the autonomy gap, as the strongest frontier models self-limit to approximately two actions per turn regardless of available budget. Fourth, single-turn Cypher fine-tuning degrades multi-turn instruction following, while architecture-appropriate specialization outperforms several frontier models. These results establish CypherTurn as an open challenge for conversational graph database reasoning. Code and data are available at https://github.com/BarryQ/CypherTurn.

LatCom: Cross-Agent Latent Compression for Efficient Multi-Agent Collaboration
LatCom：高效多智能体协作的跨智能体潜在压缩
Abstract
LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) increasingly use latent collaboration to avoid the information loss and repeated encoding-decoding overhead of natural-language communication. However, directly forwarding all sender latents makes the receiver-side context scale with both the number of agents and the reasoning length, increasing computation, memory usage, and collaboration latency. A natural solution is latent compression. But we find that cross-agent redundancy remains unresolved in existing latent compression approaches, which typically compress each sender independently and then concatenate the results. We propose LatCom, a cross-agent latent compression framework for efficient multi-agent latent collaboration. LatCom maps multiple sender latents into a fixed number of receiver-readable and task-relevant slots. Rather than reconstructing all sender hidden states, it optimizes the compressed latents for receiver-side task utility. LatCom trains the compressor in two stages: single-sender readability learning first establishes a latent interface interpretable by the frozen receiver, and multi-sender fusion learning then trains the compressor to fuse complementary evidence and remove redundancy across agents.

基于大语言模型的多智能体系统（MAS）越来越多地使用潜在协作，以避免自然语言交流中的信息损失和重复编码-解码的开销。然而，直接转发所有发送者的潜在信息会导致接收端上下文随着智能体数量和推理长度的增加而扩展，从而增加计算、内存使用和协作延迟。一个自然的解决方案是潜在压缩。但我们发现现有的潜在压缩方法在跨智能体冗余方面仍未得到解决，这些方法通常独立压缩每个发送者的信息，然后将结果连接起来。我们提出了LatCom，一个用于高效多智能体潜在协作的跨智能体潜在压缩框架。LatCom将多个发送者的潜在信息映射到固定数量的接收者可读和任务相关的槽位。它并不是重建所有发送者的隐藏状态，而是优化压缩后的潜在信息以提高接收端的任务效用。LatCom在两个阶段训练压缩器：单发送者可读性学习首先建立一个接收者可解释的潜在接口，随后多发送者融合学习训练压缩器融合互补证据并消除智能体之间的冗余。在多个基准测试上使用Qwen3-4B进行的实验表明，LatCom在推理速度上比LatentMAS平均提高了2.46倍，并在保持相似平均准确率的同时减少了70.3%的输出标记使用。

Selecting The Most Informative Tokens in Natural Language Autoencoders
选择自然语言自编码器中最具信息量的标记
Abstract
Natural language autoencoders translate a language model's internal activations into readable explanations. Explaining every token position is costly. Which positions should an auditor inspect to understand a potential threat? We study this question across $4.7$ million explanations on prompt injection and concealment. We compare signals from model computation with a ranker trained only on chat structure. Chat structure usually selects more relevant explanations than the computational signals, without requiring a model forward pass for position selection. On three of four datasets, explaining just $5\%$ of positions retains nearly all of the success rate from explaining every position, where success means obtaining an explanation about the threat. The benefit varies with the audit task. We also show that pretrained verbalizers recover words that models have learned to conceal through fine-tuning, without additional verbalizer training. These results identify where auditors can concentrate explanation generation and show that useful explanations can extend beyond the model a verbalizer was trained to describe.

自然语言自编码器将语言模型的内部激活转换为可读的解释。解释每个标记位置的成本很高。审计员应该检查哪些位置以理解潜在威胁？我们在470万条关于提示注入和隐蔽的解释中研究了这个问题。我们将模型计算信号与仅基于聊天结构训练的排名器进行比较。聊天结构通常比计算信号选择更相关的解释，而无需进行模型前向传播来选择位置。在四个数据集中有三个中，仅解释5%的位置几乎保留了对每个位置进行解释的所有成功率，其中成功意味着获得关于威胁的解释。这个好处因审计任务而异。我们还展示了预训练的语言生成器能够恢复模型通过微调学会隐蔽的单词，而无需额外的语言生成器训练。这些结果确定了审计员可以集中生成解释的地方，并表明有用的解释可以超出语言生成器所训练的模型的描述。

Learning from Think-Mode Advantage via On-Policy Distillation
通过在线策略蒸馏学习思维模式优势
Abstract
Explicit intermediate reasoning gives large language models (LLMs) a stronger problem-solving mode. We study learning from this think-mode advantage via on-policy distillation (OPD). OPD preserves student-generated trajectories and provides dense token-level teacher targets at student-visited prefixes. Privileged reasoning is used during distillation rather than student inference. Uniform ThinkOPD, a natural think-enabled OPD baseline, conditions a fixed teacher on one shared think trace and uniformly distills every sibling student response. Although its prefixes are on-policy, the trace need not follow a route compatible with every complete response: the same privileged trace can induce different teacher-student discrepancies even when responses reach the same outcome. We summarize this interaction with trace-response divergence (TRD) and introduce ThinkOPD, which routes supervision at the response level by combining group-relative reward gain with a TRD-based compatibility proxy. Final response weights are normalized within each rollout group. Across mathematical reasoning and code generation, ThinkOPD outperforms Uniform ThinkOPD in both same-model settings and both cross-model teacher-student pairs, and it exceeds representative rationale and self-distillation baselines in a controlled comparison. Controlled interventions show that outcome benefit and the TRD-based proxy provide complementary routing signals in this setting. Think-enabled OPD provides a controlled setting for studying how teacher advantage becomes transferable along student responses.

Traverse: Learning When to Remember, Reset, and Redirect for Long-Horizon Web Search
Traverse：学习何时记忆、重置和重定向以进行长时间范围的网络搜索
Abstract
Long-horizon information-seeking agents often accumulate noisy or misleading context, causing early mistakes to persist and making recovery increasingly difficult. We introduce an autonomous search harness in which the agent manages its own search process through three states: Rubric, Answer, and Verify. The agent first defines criteria for a valid answer, searches under these criteria, and then independently verifies the result before deciding whether to terminate or continue searching. It is further equipped with a Seal Memory tool that enables active context management. Training this behavior with reinforcement learning, however, can induce Seal Collapse, resulting in unstable training and preventing the agent from reliably learning when and how to use its memory tools. We solve this with a simple strategy that trains only the final segment after context management. Our 35B model achieves 72.83 on BrowseComp, outperforming comparable open-source systems, and consistently improves over the base model across BrowseComp-ZH, xbench, DeepSearchQA, WideSearch, financial investigation, and product search. Ablations show that autonomous compression outperforms automatic compaction and validate our RL design.

What Does Post-Training Change in Multilingual Reasoning?
后训练中的多语言推理变化是什么？
Abstract
Open-source reasoning models provide unequal access to reasoning capability across languages. When a model can solve a problem but cannot deliver a complete solution in the user's language, language becomes an access barrier rather than merely a source of performance variation. We audit Qwen3 checkpoints on competition-mathematics tasks in eleven languages. Across the ten non-English languages, only 15.4-17.9% of problems receive a correct, terminating solution with visible reasoning in the requested language in any of 16 samples, compared with 92.9% in English. To identify the source of this disparity, we evaluate thirteen endpoints from one model family, spanning released checkpoints, multilingual supervised fine-tuning (SFT) at two scales, controlled SFT ablations, and three reinforcement-learning (RL) reward formulations. We jointly track correctness, language adherence, termination, and delivery efficiency. The dominant bottleneck shifts across post-training stages. Released models often reason in English. Multilingual SFT restores target-language reasoning, but accuracy declines across multilingual, English-only, and single-language SFT runs, showing that this cost is not specific to multilingual mixing; non-English reasoning traces additionally become prone to non-terminating loops. RL restores termination in both arms at no cost in accuracy, but only the arm whose reward includes a language term delivers: rewarding correctness alone returns the model to English. Together, these stages establish a constructive post-training path from English-pivoted capability to multilingual reasoning that is reliably delivered.

开源推理模型在不同语言间提供了不平等的推理能力。当一个模型能够解决问题但无法用用户的语言提供完整解决方案时，语言就成为了一个访问障碍，而不仅仅是性能差异的来源。我们对 Qwen3 在十一种语言上的竞争数学任务检查点进行了审计。在十种非英语语言中，仅有 15.4% 到 17.9% 的问题在任何 16 个样本中以请求的语言提供了正确的、终止的解决方案和可见的推理，而英语的比例为 92.9%。为了识别这种差异的来源，我们评估了来自同一模型家族的十三个端点，涵盖了发布的检查点、两种规模的多语言监督微调（SFT）、受控的 SFT 消融实验以及三种强化学习（RL）奖励公式。我们共同跟踪了正确性、语言遵循、终止和交付效率。主导瓶颈在后训练阶段之间发生转移。发布的模型通常以英语进行推理。多语言 SFT 恢复了目标语言的推理，但在多语言、仅英语和单一语言 SFT 运行中准确性下降，显示这种成本并非特定于多语言混合；非英语推理的痕迹也变得容易陷入非终止循环。RL 在两个方面恢复了终止，而不影响准确性，但只有包含语言项的奖励臂能够交付：仅奖励正确性会使模型回到英语。总的来说，这些阶段建立了一条从以英语为中心的能力到可靠交付的多语言推理的建设性后训练路径。

Cross-Linguistic Effects in Bilingual Phoneme BabyLMs
双语音素BabyLM中的跨语言效应
Abstract
Cross-linguistic effects are a central topic in bilingual first-language acquisition. Artificial learners can help investigate L1-L2 interactions by enabling controlled comparisons across language combinations and learning conditions. Recent work explores this direction by training bilingual language models under developmentally plausible constraints. However, human and model learners still diverge in fundamental ways, with one major difference being input modality: children learn primarily from spoken input, whereas language models are typically trained on orthographic text. To reduce this gap, researchers have trained models on phonemic representations of speech. In this work, we combine these research directions to train bilingual BabyLMs with phonemic input. We keep English fixed as the L2 and vary the L1 across German, Swedish, Persian, and Basque, selected to represent contrasting combinations of syntactic and phoneme-inventory distance from English. Our results show stronger L1-related variation in grammatical learning trajectories under phonemic than orthographic input, while early lexical differences align with phoneme-inventory similarity.

LLM unbranding: Erasing Commercial Identity while Preserving Generic Utility
LLM去品牌化：消除商业身份同时保持通用效用
Abstract
Establishing unbranding as a critical practice to prevent visual logos from acquiring negative connotations is standard in image generation. Large Language Models (LLMs) now face a parallel and emerging challenge. These models frequently generate brand descriptions within diverse contexts. This frequency introduces significant risks, such as trademark dilution, false attribution, and brand defamation. In response, we formally define the novel task of LLM Unbranding. We specifically address the complex challenge of managing trade dress within textual outputs. This involves neutralizing characteristic language, slogans, and stylistic markers that define brand identity. Crucially, these elements are less evident than explicit visual logos. To benchmark this task, we introduce a comprehensive evaluation dataset incorporating prominent brands from multiple commercial domains. We rigorously evaluate existing state-of-the-art machine unlearning models using this benchmark. This evaluation identifies their limitations in selective textual unbranding. Finally, we propose MUTE, a novel inference-time method that effectively neutralizes textual trade dress while preserving the LLM's general capabilities and utility. By leveraging an iterative refinement loop, MUTE systematically optimizes system instructions to safely eliminate brand leakage without requiring fragile parameter updates. Code and dataset: The evaluation dataset and code for LLM Unbranding are available at https://github.com/KajetanOzog/LLM_unbranding. The implementation of MUTE is available at https://github.com/KajetanOzog/MUTE.

Bridging Semantic Gaps in RAG through Generated Context Knowledge Fusion
通过生成的上下文知识融合弥合RAG中的语义差距
Abstract
Retrieval-Augmented Generation has established itself as a fundamental framework in natural language processing, seamlessly integrating information retrieval with the generative capabilities of large language models. However, this process is fundamentally constrained by a critical challenge: semantic space mismatch between queries and retrieved contexts. We propose Knowledge-Aware Semantic Bridging (KASB), a novel framework that improves passage selection quality through semantic space alignment between queries and retrieved documents through intelligent knowledge fusion. Our approach leverages the complementary strengths of generative and retrieval-based knowledge through a multistage process that enhances both relevance and accuracy. We evaluate KASB on three popular open-domain Question Answering datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

VLM Fine-Tuning for End-to-End Combinatorial Optimization
用于端到端组合优化的视觉语言模型微调
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) have provided a unified interface for end-to-end combinatorial optimization (CO), but textual serialization alone may obscure spatial and relational structures that are important for generating effective CO solutions. This paper presents a general-purpose vision-language solver that augments textual instance descriptions with input-derived visual representations. A single vision-language model (VLM) is applied across different CO tasks and trained using supervised fine-tuning followed by verifier-guided reinforcement learning. While the visual inputs contain no gold solutions or solution-derived information, our experiments show that the VLM generally improves solution quality over its text-only counterpart, with particularly clear gains on more complex CO problems such as CVRP and JSSP. The advantage of visual information is more pronounced at large problem scales.

CredWise: A Controlled Agentic Decision-Intelligence Framework for Explainable and Auditable Credit-Risk Assessment
CredWise：一个可控的自主决策智能框架，用于可解释和可审计的信用风险评估
Abstract
Credit-risk prediction is important in banking, but a prediction alone does not explain why an applicant is risky or how it should be combined with other evidence. This paper presents CredWise, a decision-support framework that integrates credit-risk prediction, probability calibration, explainable artificial intelligence, policy retrieval, SQL analytics, and controlled agent-based workflows. An XGBoost model is trained on Lending Club data (1,345,310 loans, 18 features) using a temporal split: 2007--2016 for training, 2017 for validation, and 2018 for testing. On the 2018 test set, the calibrated model achieved a ROC-AUC of 0.7109, PR-AUC of 0.2993, F1-score of 0.3714, and accuracy of 65.44\%. Calibration reduced the Brier score from 0.2157 to 0.1273 and the expected calibration error from 0.2862 to 0.0585. SHAP explanations were temporally stable, with a Spearman correlation of 0.9959 between 2017 and 2018 feature rankings. On 28 labeled queries covering nine policy sections, FAISS achieved the best Hit@1 (0.929) and MRR (0.964), while all three retrieval methods reached Hit@5 = 1.0. Agent routing achieved 95.6\% accuracy (43 of 45 cases), and the SQL benchmark scored 1.0 on exact-match, execution-success, and result-match across six cases. These results show that CredWise can combine predictions, explanations, policy evidence, and structured analytics in one controlled workflow. It is an academic research prototype, and final decisions remain with a human reviewer.

Follow the Entities: A Corpus Map for Agentic Search
跟随实体：一种用于主动搜索的语料库地图
Abstract
Answering questions and completing tasks over large document collections often requires connecting evidence spread across multiple documents, such as a project's approval recorded in one, its requirements in another, and its latest status in a third. Recent LLM agents approach this by iteratively searching the full corpus rather than reading only a fixed set of top-ranked documents. However, when the corpus is exposed only as a flat collection of files, a relevant document gives no indication of how it relates to others, so the agent must rediscover these relationships for every query, often missing complementary evidence while simultaneously consuming substantial additional tokens. To address this, we introduce CorpusMap, a navigation layer that organizes the corpus around its recurring entities, which are identifiable from the documents themselves and can link a single document to many others across sources. Specifically, CorpusMap represents each recurring entity as an Entity Page that aggregates information about it and links to every document that refers to it, forming a graph between entities and documents that the agent can traverse to gather otherwise disconnected evidence. Moreover, since CorpusMap is constructed offline by resolving mentions of the same entity across documents, its links are shared across queries rather than rediscovered repeatedly at inference time. Using 7 different models with 3 benchmark datasets, we show that CorpusMap improves both evidence discovery and answer quality over raw-corpus agentic search while using fewer tokens on average, and further outperforms 4 alternative navigation layers, suggesting that entities serve as effective anchors for navigating large document collections.

在大型文档集合中回答问题和完成任务通常需要连接分散在多个文档中的证据，例如一个文档中记录的项目批准、另一个文档中的要求以及第三个文档中的最新状态。最近的LLM（大语言模型）代理通过迭代搜索整个语料库而不是仅阅读固定的一组排名靠前的文档来解决这个问题。然而，当语料库仅以平面文件集合的形式呈现时，相关文档并未指示其与其他文档的关系，因此代理必须为每个查询重新发现这些关系，往往错过互补证据，同时消耗大量额外的标记。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了CorpusMap，这是一种围绕其重复实体组织语料库的导航层，这些实体可以从文档中识别出来，并能够将单个文档链接到多个其他文档。具体而言，CorpusMap将每个重复实体表示为一个实体页面，该页面聚合了关于该实体的信息，并链接到每个提及它的文档，形成一个实体与文档之间的图，代理可以遍历该图以收集原本不相连的证据。此外，由于CorpusMap是通过解析文档中相同实体的提及离线构建的，其链接在查询之间共享，而不是在推理时重复重新发现。使用7种不同模型和3个基准数据集，我们展示了CorpusMap在证据发现和答案质量上优于原始语料库的主动搜索，同时平均使用更少的标记，并进一步超越了4种替代导航层，表明实体作为导航大型文档集合的有效锚点。

SemOPT: Fixing Semantic Errors in LLM-based Optimization Modeling via Reward-Guided Search
SemOPT：通过奖励引导搜索修正基于大型语言模型的优化建模中的语义错误
Abstract
Operations research supports decision-making in domains such as energy, economics, and healthcare. Solving operations research problems typically begins with optimization modeling, which translates a natural-language problem description into executable solver code. LLMs offer a promising way to automate this process, but they remain prone to errors. In practice, these errors can be divided into two categories: syntactic errors refer to solver code that fails to run successfully or is judged infeasible by the solver; semantic errors refer to solver code that successfully returns an objective value but violates the intent of the original problem. Since semantic errors do not trigger runtime failures, they are difficult to detect and rectify. To address this problem, we introduce SemOPT, a semantic-guided framework for correcting LLM-based optimization models. SemOPT combines a semantic reward model that distinguishes faithful math models from plausible but incorrect ones with an adaptive correction system that applies hierarchical reward-guided search over the modeling space. Experiments on seven optimization modeling benchmarks show that SemOPT establishes a new state of the art and achieves an average 7.6% accuracy improvement over the strongest baseline on complex datasets.

Compiling Learning Problems into Adaptation Programs for Language Models
将学习问题编译为语言模型的适应程序
Abstract
Model adaptation is typically governed by a fixed recipe, even though different update programs can produce substantially different behavioral outcomes. We introduce adaptation compilation, which reframes where, how, and to what extent a model should adapt as a joint prediction and decision problem. Rather than searching over candidate programs anew for each learning episode, a compiler learns from prior adaptations to predict a vector-valued counterfactual response surface over candidate programs---their expected effects on acquisition, transfer, boundedness, and preservation---and selects a program before adaptation begins. Because this predicted geometry captures multiple behavioral consequences rather than a single winner or scalar score, it can be reused under different downstream priorities without retraining. Across five learning types, preferred programs vary meaningfully across episodes, and this variation is predictable from pre-adaptation information. On Llama-3.1-8B, compiler-selected programs approach exhaustive search while outperforming global and objective-specific defaults. Replication on Gemma-2-9B preserves program heterogeneity and selection headroom, but shows that exploiting this headroom requires accounting for uncertainty when departing from strong defaults. Together, these results show that adaptation search can be amortized across related learning problems, turning prior adaptation experience into a basis for deciding how future learning should occur.

Look What You Made Us Cluster: Hate Narrative Extraction from Reddit Discourse
看看你让我们聚类的内容：从 Reddit 话语中提取仇恨叙事
Abstract
Narrative extraction allows us to identify online hate narratives, supporting the construction of rigorous detection systems. Existing computational approaches, however, are limited in precision as they rely on semantic representations, which tend to capture only surface-level meaning. To detect more precise and interpretable narratives, we present an extraction pipeline that represents narratives as entity-evaluation pairs. Narratives are extracted using a Large Language Model (LLM) reasoning process that extends Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis, identifying the aspect, classifying its judgement type as the basis for evaluation, and deriving the evaluation accordingly. Extracted narratives are then clustered using Leiden, following which clusters are resolved to an intended level of granularity through an LLM-guided refinement process. We illustrate this narrative pipeline with English Reddit comments from 2024 that criticize Taylor Swift, analyzing a representative cluster that exhibits hate speech patterns to demonstrate its interpretive value.

Learning to Retrieve Missing Evidence for Long-Term Memory QA
学习检索缺失证据以支持长期记忆问答
Abstract
Long-term memory enables language models to use past interactions in future conversations. However, evidence needed to answer a question may be scattered across distant turns, while the question itself omits clues needed to locate it. Retrieved facts can reveal these clues, motivating retrieval decisions conditioned on evidence already found. We introduce MERA (Missing-Evidence Retrieval Augmentation), which separates globally searchable memory from a question-specific evidence state. Verified evidence guides subsequent retrieval without restricting access to the global memory. We train a lightweight planner through reinforcement learning, rewarding queries that recover previously missing evidence. MERA achieves strong answer accuracy across Qwen3-30B and GPT-4o-mini backbones. With Qwen3-30B for evidence processing and answer generation, the trained 0.6B planner achieves 77.40% accuracy on LoCoMo and 71.29% on LongMemEval-S, exceeding a 30B planner without retrieval-grounded training by 4.10% and 3.96%, respectively.

长期记忆使语言模型能够在未来的对话中利用过去的互动。然而，回答问题所需的证据可能散布在遥远的对话轮次中，而问题本身则省略了定位这些证据所需的线索。检索到的事实可以揭示这些线索，从而激励基于已找到证据的检索决策。我们提出了MERA（Missing-Evidence Retrieval Augmentation），该方法将全球可搜索的记忆与特定问题的证据状态分开。经过验证的证据指导后续的检索，而不限制对全球记忆的访问。我们通过强化学习训练了一个轻量级的规划器，奖励那些恢复先前缺失证据的查询。MERA在Qwen3-30B和GPT-4o-mini模型上实现了强大的答案准确性。使用Qwen3-30B进行证据处理和答案生成，训练后的0.6B规划器在LoCoMo上达到了77.40%的准确率，在LongMemEval-S上达到了71.29%的准确率，分别比未经过检索基础训练的30B规划器高出4.10%和3.96%。在LoCoMo上，后续的检索轮次将累积证据的召回率从55.5%提高到80.5%。

Relevance Is Not Sufficient Evidence: Detecting Evidence Gaps Before Generation in RAG
相关性不足以作为充分证据：在生成前检测证据缺口
Abstract
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) grounds large language models in external sources, but retrieved passages often name the right entities without providing the facts needed to answer. Even when instructed to abstain, 12 generators answer 40.0-99.3% of insufficient-evidence questions. Training generators to abstain ties the decision to model weights, may reward answers recalled from parametric knowledge, and still requires a full generator call. Can sufficiency be judged from the question and evidence alone, before any answer exists? We identify pitfalls in constructing insufficient-evidence tests: removing relevant evidence or pairing evidence with unrelated questions can reveal labels through lexical overlap or evidence position. We build a paired benchmark using substitution, deletion, and question-swap constructions that vary answer support while controlling selected surface features, such as word use. Sufficiency can be judged without generating an answer, but no single signal works across all datasets. We introduce RINSE (Relevance Is Not Sufficient Evidence), which combines three signals: whether every part of the question is covered, whether any passage offers an answer, and whether a small language model reading the passages together judges them sufficient. Across six datasets, RINSE ranks sufficient above insufficient evidence with a score of 0.837 (chance 0.5), exceeding the best of 10 prior methods (0.746) and a frontier model queried through an API (0.784). Its weakest dataset scores higher than any other method's weakest (0.684 vs. 0.676). RINSE runs locally before generation, taking 36.5 ms per question on a single GPU.

Regime Boundary Alignment for Evidence-Gated Question Answering
证据门控问答的范畴边界对齐
Abstract
Retrieval-augmented language models are expected to answer from the retrieved evidence, but in practice they often keep answering when that evidence is missing. We trace this behavior to the training signal: answer-focused fine-tuning assigns no target to unsupported contexts, so it cannot distinguish a reader that abstains from one that guesses, and unsupported answering stays near 100% even as supported accuracy improves. We introduce Regime Boundary Alignment (RBA), which trains a single reader on matched variants of the same question and gold answer. The reader is trained to produce the gold answer when the context supports it, including when conflicting evidence is also present, and to abstain when the correct support is removed; inference is ordinary decoding, with no verifier, threshold, or regime label. On three multi-hop QA datasets across three seeds, RBA reduces the unsupported-answer rate by more than sixty percentage points relative to conflict-focused training while matching its supported accuracy. On a held-out TriviaQA retrieval-miss slice, the same reader reduces unsupported answering from 100% to below 1% while also improving supported accuracy. These results indicate that evidence-gated answering must be learned on both sides of the support boundary.

增强检索的语言模型被期望能够基于检索到的证据进行回答，但在实际应用中，它们往往在缺乏证据时仍然继续回答。我们将这种行为追溯到训练信号：以答案为中心的微调对不支持的上下文没有分配目标，因此无法区分选择不回答的读者和进行猜测的读者，而不支持的回答率即使在支持的准确率提高时仍然接近100%。我们提出了范畴边界对齐（Regime Boundary Alignment, RBA），该方法在相同问题和黄金答案的匹配变体上训练单一读者。该读者被训练在上下文支持时生成黄金答案，包括在存在冲突证据的情况下，并在正确支持被移除时选择不回答；推理过程为普通解码，不使用验证器、阈值或范畴标签。在三个多跳问答数据集上，RBA相较于以冲突为中心的训练将不支持回答率降低了超过60个百分点，同时保持了支持的准确率。在一个保留的TriviaQA检索缺失切片上，同一读者将不支持回答率从100%降低到1%以下，同时提高了支持的准确率。这些结果表明，证据门控回答必须在支持边界的两侧进行学习。

Your Benchmark Is Not Saturated: Reviving Multiple-Choice Evaluation with Answer Pooling
你的基准测试并未饱和：通过答案池复兴多项选择评估
Abstract
Multiple-choice benchmarks are cheap to grade and are running out of room, and the standard remedy, writing harder items, is slow and repeated for every benchmark. A saturated benchmark still holds a harder task. Each question's wrong options are written for that question alone, so a model can score by eliminating a few options. We propose AnswerPool: take $N$ questions that share a context, pool all their options into one list, and ask the model to assign every question its answer. No item is written and no label changes. The chance of guessing a group right falls from $10^{-3}$ to $5\times10^{-7}$ for five four-option questions, and a model that recognizes its answers keeps its multiple-choice score, so the accuracy lost to pooling measures the credit the format gave for elimination. Deleting answers from the pool makes questions unanswerable with exact ground truth, so abstention is scored in the same pass. Across eight text, image, and video benchmarks and eighteen models, pooling is harder for every model, the elimination credit is largest for the weakest models, and seven of eight open-weight models answer 87 to 100% of unanswerable questions.

多项选择基准测试评分成本低且空间有限，而标准的解决方案是编写更难的题目，这一过程缓慢且对每个基准都需重复进行。一个饱和的基准依然包含更难的任务。每个问题的错误选项仅针对该问题编写，因此模型可以通过排除几个选项来得分。我们提出了答案池（AnswerPool）：选取 $N$ 个共享上下文的问题，将它们的所有选项汇总到一个列表中，并要求模型为每个问题分配答案。没有题目被编写，标签也没有变化。对于五个四选项的问题，正确猜测一组的概率从 $10^{-3}$ 降低到 $5 imes10^{-7}$，而能够识别其答案的模型保持其多项选择得分，因此因汇总而损失的准确性衡量了该格式对排除的贡献。从池中删除答案使得问题无法用确切的真实答案回答，因此弃权在同一轮评分中被计算。在八个文本、图像和视频基准及十八个模型中，汇总对每个模型来说都更具挑战性，排除的信用对最弱的模型来说最大，而八个开放权重模型中的七个能够回答87%到100%的无法回答的问题。

Larry Caused the Car to Stop, But the Model Didn't Notice: Transformer Blindness to the M-Heuristic
拉里使汽车停下，但模型没有注意到：变压器对 M-启发式的盲点
Abstract
Modern transformer models excel at capturing semantic relationships through sentence embeddings, yet their ability to perform pragmatic reasoning remains understudied. This paper investigates whether encoder-based transformers such as DeBERTa employ the M-Heuristic (the neo-Gricean principle that marked linguistic forms implicate marked meanings). We test this hypothesis by contrasting lexical causatives (e.g., ``Larry stopped the car'') with periphrastic causatives (e.g., ``Larry caused the car to stop'') using a Natural Language Inference framework. Our experiments across 188 conditions with 15 ambitransitive verbs reveal that DeBERTa, RoBERTa, and BART show no evidence of capturing the pragmatic distinction between these forms, with DeBERTa predicting ``Neutral'' for 100% of cases. Probing analysis initially suggested a representation-use dissociation, but control experiments reveal the probe was tracking syntactic complexity, not causative pragmatics. Semantic similarity over 30 triplets places periphrastic causatives closer to unmediated manner descriptions in 29/30 cases, opposite to M-Heuristic predictions in the embedding space. Under explicit metalinguistic framing, Gemini Flash-Lite reaches 100% with item-specific traces, so the principle is available under instruction yet unused in default NLI.

现代变压器模型在通过句子嵌入捕捉语义关系方面表现出色，但它们在进行语用推理方面的能力仍然未得到充分研究。本文探讨基于编码器的变压器（如 DeBERTa）是否采用 M-启发式（即新格赖斯原则，标记的语言形式暗示标记的意义）。我们通过对比词汇因果动词（例如，“拉里使汽车停下”）与周边因果动词（例如，“拉里导致汽车停下”）来测试这一假设，使用自然语言推理框架。我们在 188 个条件下对 15 个可转移动词进行的实验表明，DeBERTa、RoBERTa 和 BART 并未显示出捕捉这些形式之间语用区别的证据，DeBERTa 对 100% 的案例预测为“中立”。探测分析最初表明存在表征使用的分离，但对照实验显示探测器追踪的是句法复杂性，而非因果语用。在 30 个三元组的语义相似性分析中，周边因果动词在 29/30 的案例中更接近于无中介的方式描述，这与嵌入空间中的 M-启发式预测相反。在明确的元语言框架下，Gemini Flash-Lite 在特定项目的痕迹下达到 100%，因此该原则在指导下可用，但在默认的自然语言推理中未被使用。

The Rashomon Wikipedia: A Data-Perspectivist Analysis of Divergent Historical Narratives
罗生门维基百科：对分歧历史叙事的数据视角分析
Abstract
Wikipedia aims to provide a unified, neutral record of history, yet its independent language editions often function as distinct epistemic communities, creating divergent narratives around contested events. This paper investigates cross-lingual historiographical bias by analyzing Wikipedia articles across five languages (Romanian, Hungarian, Russian, Turkish, and English) focusing on three contentious events in Romanian history: the Battle of Posada (1330), the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia (1940), and the Night Attack at Targoviste (1462). Using human annotators and Large Language Models (LLMs) to classify citation stance and quantify narrative evolution from 2005 to 2024, we identify a phenomenon of "citation isolation". In the case of the Battle of Posada, only 2 out of 119 citations were shared between language editions, with the Romanian edition exhibiting a 91% pro-national bias compared to the balanced Hungarian edition. Longitudinal analysis reveals that these narratives are volatile and responsive to contemporary geopolitics, evidenced by a significant shift in the Russian framing of Bessarabia in 2024. Finally, we propose a "Peace-Maker" pipeline to automate conflict reconciliation. We demonstrate that while standard prompting leads models to hallucinate consensus, "adversarial" prompting, which explicitly instructs the model to preserve and attribute disagreement, achieves near-perfect neutrality scores.

Who Warmed the Archives? LLMs Overestimate Historical Warmth
谁温暖了档案？大型语言模型高估了历史温暖
Abstract
Historical archives are an under-used source for extending the instrumental climate record backward in time, and LLMs offer a way to extract the indices climatologists derive by hand. Beyond measuring how well systems extract this signal, we check whether their errors are safe to use for cross-century comparison, since a good correlation score does not rule out systematic, era-linked bias. Comparing lexical baselines, fine-tuned historical transformers, and LLM prompting on the Pfister temperature index across five centuries of German text, lexical methods beat every fine-tuned transformer we test, including one pretrained from scratch on historical German (r=-0.016). All six LLMs we test (Gemini 2.5 Flash, GPT-5-mini, DeepSeek v4 Flash, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Qwen3.7-Plus, Kimi-K2.6-Fast) show a warm bias that grows with calendar year, with the same sign in every model (slopes +0.13 to +0.34/century, p<0.01). The effect is modest in size (r-squared approx equal to 0.01 to 0.05) but consistent across six independently developed models. The best-correlated of the six, Gemini 2.5 Flash, matches the best lexical correlation (r=0.32) at double the error. An ablation stripping explicit dates and calendar-era markers from the quotes leaves this trend essentially unchanged, favoring an anachronistic present-day prior over the model correctly inferring the quote's era. Correlation alone is thus insufficient for vetting an LLM as a historical-climate-index oracle.

历史档案是一个未被充分利用的资源，可以将气候仪器记录向过去延伸，而大型语言模型（LLMs）提供了一种提取气候学家手动推导的指数的方法。除了测量系统提取这一信号的效果外，我们还检查它们的误差是否可以安全地用于跨世纪比较，因为良好的相关性得分并不能排除系统性、与时代相关的偏差。通过比较词汇基线、微调的历史变换器和在五个世纪的德语文本中对Pfister温度指数的LLM提示，词汇方法超越了我们测试的每一个微调变换器，包括一个从头开始在历史德语上进行预训练的模型（r=-0.016）。我们测试的六个LLM（Gemini 2.5 Flash、GPT-5-mini、DeepSeek v4 Flash、Claude Sonnet 4.6、Qwen3.7-Plus、Kimi-K2.6-Fast）均显示出随着日历年份增长的温暖偏差，所有模型的偏差方向一致（斜率+0.13到+0.34/世纪，p<0.01）。这一效应在规模上适中（r平方约等于0.01到0.05），但在六个独立开发的模型中保持一致。在这六个模型中，相关性最好的Gemini 2.5 Flash在误差翻倍的情况下匹配了最佳的词汇相关性（r=0.32）。通过剥离引用中的明确日期和日历时代标记的消融实验，这一趋势基本保持不变，倾向于一个不合时宜的现代先验，而不是模型正确推断引用的时代。因此，仅凭相关性不足以验证LLM作为历史气候指数的权威。

Evaluating Bounded Autonomy in Regulated Agentic AI: A Diagnostic Harness with Constitutional Rewards, Escalation Labels, and Runtime Governance
评估受监管的自主人工智能中的有限自主性：具有宪法奖励、升级标签和运行时治理的诊断工具
Abstract
We propose RegLLM, a diagnostic harness for bounded autonomy in regulated agentic workflows. It instruments six trustworthiness signals: citation validity, source grounding, schema compliance, escalation correctness, constitutional alignment, and unsafe-action rate. Signals are distinguished by their source of supervision: programmatic verifiers, task-level escalation labels, or AI-judge scores. A deterministic runtime supervisor blocks ungrounded answers and forces escalation, logging interventions. The same domain constitution informs evaluation, training rewards, and serving guardrails. Task-level should-escalate labels make the act-versus-defer decision a measurable training signal. We demonstrate the harness at smoke scale. An offline reference run (n=12) lifts escalation recall from 0 to 0.67 and reduces unsafe-action rate from 0.33 to 0.08 when governance is enabled. Two single-GPU Qwen2.5-3B LoRA/DPO pilots (n=8, same seed and evaluation split) expose substantial variation: nominally identical RL-base configurations yield task success of 0.25 versus 0.12 and escalation recall of 1.0 versus 0.5. An answer-quality adapter changes recall from 1.0 to 0.5 in Run A, but from 0.5 to 1.0 in Run B. An escalation-aware variant produces no measurable change in Run B. These small pilots do not establish reliable adapter effects or production readiness. Their contribution is diagnostic: configuration variance can overwhelm apparent tuning effects on bounded-autonomy metrics, motivating larger evaluation sets and repeated runs.

From Dissonance to Orchestration: Teacher Intervention in On-Policy Distillation
从不和谐到协调：教师在政策蒸馏中的干预
Abstract
On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own reasoning trajectories using feedback from a stronger teacher. Teacher interventions can improve these trajectories, but also change the distribution on which the student learns. Our controlled studies show that rollout quality alone is an incomplete criterion for allocating teacher guidance. Deeper intervention yields diminishing gains in rollout accuracy while increasing off-policy load. In a training probe with a restricted rollout horizon, peak student accuracy and performance retention favor different intervention strengths. The preferred intervention depth and placement also vary across benchmarks. These findings motivate MAESTRO, which uses local policy disagreement to jointly adapt when the teacher takes over and how long it generates. Its {policy disagreement score} combines teacher-weighted candidate coverage with local distribution similarity and is aggregated within reasoning paragraphs. Across eight mathematical reasoning benchmarks, MAESTRO achieves the highest macro-average accuracy among the compared methods for both 0.6B and 1.7B Qwen3 students, with the 1.7B student leading on every benchmark. MAESTRO also reduces average training response length by 67.3\% relative to standard OPD. The code is available at https://github.com/yhao-wang/MAESTRO.

政策蒸馏（On-policy distillation, OPD）利用来自更强教师的反馈，训练学生在其自身推理轨迹上进行学习。教师干预可以改善这些轨迹，但也会改变学生学习的分布。我们的控制实验表明，仅依靠推理质量并不足以作为分配教师指导的完整标准。更深层次的干预在推理准确性上带来的收益递减，同时增加了离政策负担。在一个限制推理范围的训练探测中，学生的最佳准确性和性能保持偏好不同的干预强度。不同基准测试中，首选的干预深度和位置也有所不同。这些发现促使了MAESTRO的提出，该方法利用局部政策不一致性共同调整教师接管的时机和生成的持续时间。其{政策不一致性评分}结合了教师加权的候选覆盖率与局部分布相似性，并在推理段落中进行聚合。在八个数学推理基准测试中，MAESTRO在比较方法中实现了最高的宏平均准确率，对于0.6B和1.7B的Qwen3学生均是如此，其中1.7B学生在每个基准测试中均表现领先。与标准的OPD相比，MAESTRO还将平均训练响应长度减少了67.3%。代码可在https://github.com/yhao-wang/MAESTRO获取。

E-MoE: Enhanced Mixture-of-Experts for Non-Factorized Diffusion Language Models
E-MoE：增强型专家混合模型用于非因式化扩散语言模型
Abstract
Masked diffusion models (MDMs) generate sequences by progressively unmasking several tokens per denoising step, but their reverse process is typically factorized over positions, limiting sample quality in the few-step regime where diffusion's speed advantage over autoregressive decoding matters most. A recent line of work introduces a continuous Gaussian latent, trained as a variational autoencoder, to capture correlations across positions, but such approaches are prone to posterior collapse, where the latent is silently ignored. We propose Enhanced Mixture-of-Experts (E-MoE), which builds the reverse process as a mixture of factorized distributions over a discrete shared latent given by the expert-routing decisions of a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) backbone, without increasing active parameters over the factorized baseline. Across synthetic multi-modal benchmarks, binarized MNIST, and LM1B, E-MoE improves few-step generation over factorized baselines.

RunyaNER: Auxiliary Language Selection for Runyankore NER
RunyaNER：Runyankore命名实体识别的辅助语言选择
Abstract
Cross-lingual zero-shot transfer and multilingual fine-tuning are promising approaches for NLP tasks such as Named Entity Recognition (NER) in low-resource languages, but in the absence of target language benchmarks, it is unclear which auxiliary language selection strategy leads to the best transfer. We introduce RunyaNER, the first publicly available NER benchmark for the East African language Runyankore, and use it to investigate the choice of which languages to use for transfer. Created with a semi-automated pipeline and fully manually verified, RunyaNER contains over 237k annotated words across 30k sentences. We benchmark pretrained models on RunyaNER, establishing that our dataset is of sufficient quality and size to produce effective Runyankore NER models. We then use RunyaNER to investigate auxiliary language selection in cross-lingual zero-shot and multilingual fine-tuning settings. Our experiments show that while transfer performance is highly sensitive to auxiliary language selection, embedding-based measures computed from labelled training spans correlate more strongly with downstream transfer performance than traditional linguistic features based on metadata or typology. By releasing RunyaNER and providing a systematic analysis of auxiliary language selection strategies, this work contributes both a new benchmark resource and practical insights for multilingual transfer in low-resource settings.

Orthogonal Yet Coupled: Decoupling Geometric Components for Model Merging
正交而又耦合：模型合并中的几何组件解耦
Abstract
Merging pretrained models has emerged as an effective approach for consolidating diverse capabilities into a single unified model. However, prevailing merging methods typically treat each task vector as an indivisible merging unit, overlooking the heterogeneous geometric changes encoded within it. This treatment can induce cross-component coupling: when merging decisions are derived from statistics of the complete task vector, the geometric characteristics of one component may influence how another is selected, weighted, or combined, potentially degrading the quality of the merged model. To address this issue, we propose DiGA, a
Disentangled Geometry-Aware model merging framework. Using the pretrained weights as a shared geometric reference, DiGA orthogonally decomposes each task vector into components corresponding to distinct geometric attributes. Rather than merging the task vectors as a whole, DiGA aggregates corresponding components independently within their respective subspaces and subsequently recombines them into a unified update. This component-wise formulation preserves the geometric identity of each component and prevents the characteristics of one component from interfering with the aggregation of another. Furthermore, DiGA can be incorporated into a broad range of existing model merging methods. Extensive experiments across diverse models, tasks, and merging methods demonstrate that DiGA improves merged-model performance and reduces capability degradation. Our repository is on https://github.com/wzj1718/DiGA.

合并预训练模型已成为将多样化能力整合为单一统一模型的有效方法。然而，现有的合并方法通常将每个任务向量视为不可分割的合并单元，忽视了其中编码的异构几何变化。这种处理方式可能导致跨组件耦合：当合并决策基于完整任务向量的统计信息时，一个组件的几何特征可能会影响另一个组件的选择、加权或组合，从而可能降低合并模型的质量。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了DiGA，一个解耦几何感知的模型合并框架。DiGA利用预训练权重作为共享几何参考，将每个任务向量正交地分解为对应于不同几何属性的组件。DiGA并不是将任务向量整体合并，而是在各自的子空间内独立聚合相应的组件，然后将它们重新组合为统一的更新。这种按组件的形式保持了每个组件的几何特性，并防止一个组件的特征干扰另一个组件的聚合。此外，DiGA可以被纳入广泛的现有模型合并方法中。在多种模型、任务和合并方法上的广泛实验表明，DiGA提高了合并模型的性能并减少了能力退化。我们的代码库可在 https://github.com/wzj1718/DiGA 获取。

Devils in Question Relay: Source-Conditioned Relay Steering to Mitigate Hallucinations in Audio-visual Large Language Models
问题中继中的恶魔：源条件中继引导以减轻音视频大型语言模型中的幻觉
Abstract
Audio-visual large language models (AVLLMs) have made remarkable progress in multimodal understanding and reasoning through interactions among visual, auditory, and linguistic information. However, recent studies show that AVLLMs face a critical challenge: $\textbf{source-confused grounding hallucination}$, where cues from the unused modality induce responses that the required modality does not support, undermining reliability in real-world applications. Existing methods have made progress in mitigating this failure, yet how it arises from internal cross-modal interactions remains insufficiently understood. To address this gap, we conduct path-intervention and representation analyses, revealing a $\textbf{question-relay}$ mechanism: question states carry interfering cues alongside required-source evidence, undermining grounding in required-modality evidence. Cutting pathways from interfering modality to question states yields greater correct-answer logit recovery than cutting those to the generation position. Motivated by these findings, we propose $\textbf{SECRET}$ ($\textbf{S}$ourc$\textbf{E}$-$\textbf{C}$onditioned $\textbf{RE}$lay s$\textbf{T}$eering), a training-free method that mitigates cross-modal interference at the question relay. Using contrasting question representations elicited through different modality-pathway interventions, SECRET steers the original question states toward required-source evidence. Experiments on two widely adopted benchmarks CMM and AVHBench across three AVLLMs show that SECRET consistently outperforms prior training-free methods, substantially mitigating source-confused grounding hallucinations (e.g., up to +18.0 and +7.1 percentage points over base models).

音视频大型语言模型（AVLLMs）在通过视觉、听觉和语言信息之间的交互实现多模态理解和推理方面取得了显著进展。然而，最近的研究表明，AVLLMs面临着一个关键挑战： extbf{源混淆的基础幻觉}，即未使用模态的线索诱导出所需模态不支持的响应，从而削弱了在实际应用中的可靠性。现有方法在减轻这一失败方面取得了一定进展，但其如何源于内部跨模态交互仍然理解不足。为了解决这一问题，我们进行路径干预和表示分析，揭示了一种 extbf{问题中继}机制：问题状态携带干扰线索与所需源证据一起，削弱了对所需模态证据的基础。切断干扰模态到问题状态的路径比切断到生成位置的路径能更好地恢复正确答案的logit。基于这些发现，我们提出了 extbf{SECRET}（ extbf{S}ourc$ extbf{E}$-$ extbf{C}$onditioned $ extbf{RE}$lay s$ extbf{T}$eering），这是一种无训练的方法，旨在减轻问题中继处的跨模态干扰。通过不同模态路径干预引发的对比问题表示，SECRET将原始问题状态引导至所需源证据。对两个广泛采用的基准CMM和AVHBench在三种AVLLMs上的实验表明，SECRET始终优于先前的无训练方法，显著减轻了源混淆的基础幻觉（例如，相较于基础模型提高了+18.0和+7.1个百分点）。模态特定的字幕进一步证明了其在开放式生成中的普适性。

Pair Difficulty Matters: Rethinking Pairwise LLM-as-a-Judge Evaluation and Consistency
对配对难度的重视：重新思考配对 LLM 作为评判者的评估与一致性
Abstract
Large Language Model judges are widely used to rank texts and text-generating systems through pairwise comparison, and their reliability is typically assessed via three proxies: position bias, transitivity, and pairwise agreement (self- or human-labeled). Because these proxies drive judge selection and benchmarking, a substantial literature reporting that judges perform poorly on them risks steering practitioners away from otherwise capable evaluators. We argue this assessment is misleading. Under the Bradley--Terry geometry underlying pairwise aggregation, each proxy is dominated by close-rank-gap pairs, where inconsistency is information-theoretically expected and individual verdicts contribute little to the aggregate ranking; far-gap pairs carry the ranking signal but barely move the proxies. We formalize this argument and validate it in a controlled simulation and on two human-rated corpora: the proxies correlate only weakly with ranking accuracy against gold, and their predictive component concentrates in the far-gap regime. Judges should therefore be assessed on rank-gap-conditional metrics, ideally against human rankings. Code at https://github.com/brunobrocai/PairDifficulty.

大型语言模型评判者广泛用于通过配对比较对文本和文本生成系统进行排名，其可靠性通常通过三个代理进行评估：位置偏差、传递性和配对一致性（自我标注或人工标注）。由于这些代理驱动了评判者的选择和基准测试，因此大量文献报告评判者在这些方面表现不佳，这可能会使从业者远离本可以胜任的评估者。我们认为这种评估是误导性的。在支撑配对聚合的 Bradley--Terry 几何结构下，每个代理都受到近排名差距配对的主导影响，在这些配对中，不一致性在信息论上是可以预期的，个别裁决对整体排名的贡献微乎其微；而远差距配对则传递排名信号，但几乎不影响代理的表现。我们形式化了这一论点，并在受控模拟和两个人工评分的语料库上进行了验证：这些代理与黄金标准的排名准确性仅弱相关，其预测成分集中在远差距区域。因此，评判者应基于排名差距条件指标进行评估，理想情况下应与人工排名进行比较。代码可在 https://github.com/brunobrocai/PairDifficulty 获取。

Correct, Don't Delete: Mitigating Emergent Misalignment with Corrective Supervision
纠正，而非删除：通过纠正监督减轻新出现的失调
Abstract
Fine-tuning a language model on a narrow set of harmful demonstrations, such as bad medical advice, can make it broadly misaligned on unrelated questions, a phenomenon known as emergent misalignment (EM). The usual defense is to find the offending rows and delete them, but a row locator failed our held-out test and deleting rows helps less than expected. We ask a different question: given a fixed set of poisoned rows, is it better to correct them than to remove them? We fine-tune Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct on a mixture of bad medical advice and benign chat data, select a quarter of the poison rows in advance, and either delete them or replace each with a corrected answer to the same prompt, keeping everything else the same. Replacing the rows cuts the EM rate by about a third and improves answers on held-out medical questions, while deleting the same rows has little measurable effect. The advantage is larger when half the poison rows are corrected, and it holds on a second base model and a second misaligned model organism. The content of the replacement appears to matter: paraphrasing the rows while keeping their bad advice shows no clear benefit, and the correct answers distributed with the dataset appear to do about as well as our rewriter's. Realigning an already-poisoned model with further fine-tuning is known to work, but which data does the work has not been compared directly. We find that a short round of training on corrections beats the same amount of training on generic chat data, that corrections on other medical prompts do roughly as well as corrections of the poisoned prompts themselves, and that instructing the correction writer to model a careful, harm-avoiding assistant adds no measurable benefit over plain corrections. In the settings we tested, correcting harmful training data reduces EM more than deleting it.

在一组狭窄的有害示例上微调语言模型，例如错误的医疗建议，可能导致其在无关问题上广泛失调，这种现象被称为新出现的失调（EM）。通常的防御措施是找到有问题的行并将其删除，但行定位器在我们的保留测试中失败，删除行的效果也低于预期。我们提出了一个不同的问题：在固定的有害行集合中，纠正它们是否比删除它们更好？我们在包含错误医疗建议和良性聊天数据的混合数据上微调了Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct，提前选择四分之一的有害行，并选择删除它们或用相同提示的纠正答案替换每一行，保持其他条件不变。替换这些行将EM率降低了约三分之一，并改善了保留医疗问题的答案，而删除相同的行几乎没有可测量的效果。当纠正一半的有害行时，优势更大，并且在第二个基础模型和第二个失调模型上也得到了验证。替换内容似乎很重要：对行进行意译而保持其错误建议并没有明显的好处，而与数据集一起分发的正确答案的表现与我们重写者的答案大致相当。已知通过进一步微调来重新对齐已经被污染的模型是有效的，但哪些数据起作用尚未直接比较。我们发现，针对纠正进行短期训练的效果优于在通用聊天数据上进行相同量的训练，其他医疗提示的纠正效果与被污染提示的纠正效果大致相当，并且指导纠正撰写者模拟一个谨慎、避免伤害的助手并没有比简单的纠正带来可测量的好处。在我们测试的设置中，纠正有害训练数据比删除它更能减少EM。

Co-Linguistics: AI-augmented Theory Construction in Linguistics
协同语言学：人工智能增强的语言学理论构建
Abstract
LLMs have been studied in recent linguistics as potential models of humans' linguistic abilities. Here we discuss an entirely different use of AI, namely as a co-scientist, to help construct and assess linguistic theories (we refer to the result as "Co-Linguistics"). Since the 1960s, linguistics has developed theories that are in principle mathematically formalizable, often in the language of formal language theory or model theory. The AI revolution in mathematics will thus have consequences in linguistics-but with an essential twist: proving new theorems is rarely the linguist's goal. Rather, one seeks to find the best set of axioms to derive empirical statements. AI could accelerate research by making existing theories fully explicit, by comparing competing theories, and more ambitiously, by proposing new theories (in machine learning, this relates to "program induction"). It will also help assess theories by accelerating the identification and test of crucial predictions, thanks to unparalleled access to data (in machine learning, this relates to "active learning"). While the cycle from theory evaluation to theory construction may give rise to recursive and possibly autonomous improvement of linguistic theories, humans remain central: linguists provide scientific directions and evaluate theories conceptually, and experimental participants are needed to assess empirical predictions that are outside the reach of LLMs.

近年来，大型语言模型（LLMs）被研究作为人类语言能力的潜在模型。本文讨论了人工智能的另一种完全不同的用途，即作为共同科学家，帮助构建和评估语言学理论（我们将其结果称为“协同语言学”）。自20世纪60年代以来，语言学发展了在原则上可以数学形式化的理论，通常使用形式语言理论或模型理论的语言。因此，数学中的人工智能革命将对语言学产生影响，但有一个重要的转折点：证明新定理通常不是语言学家的目标。相反，研究者寻求找到最佳公理集以推导经验性陈述。人工智能可以通过使现有理论完全明确、比较竞争理论，以及更雄心勃勃地提出新理论（在机器学习中，这与“程序归纳”相关）来加速研究。它还将通过加速识别和测试关键预测来帮助评估理论，这得益于对数据的无与伦比的访问（在机器学习中，这与“主动学习”相关）。虽然从理论评估到理论构建的循环可能导致语言学理论的递归和可能的自主改进，但人类仍然是中心：语言学家提供科学方向并在概念上评估理论，而实验参与者则需要评估超出LLMs能力范围的经验预测。

Evaluating and Benchmarking the System One Model Jev
评估与基准测试系统一模型Jev
Abstract
Jev is a commercial System One model from TypeSafe AI that does not generate text: given a state and typed questions, it returns a choice from fixed options, a position on a rubric, or the probability that a statement is true, with probabilities the vendor describes as calibrated. Such models target small decisions in information access pipelines, such as routing queries, checking grounding, moderating content, or rating against a rubric. We evaluate Jev (jev-1.13.0) zero-shot on 37 datasets spanning classification, routing, natural language inference, reading comprehension, commonsense reasoning, moderation, legal clause analysis and rubric scoring, with one frozen template per dataset and full evaluation splits: 346,009 requests for under USD 10. For reference, we score Qwen3.8-27B and Gemma-4-E4B on identical requests via their exact next-token probabilities over the options. Jev reaches 95-99% accuracy on IMDB, SST-2, HellaSwag and ARC and 86.7% on Belebele across 122 languages. It beats Qwen on 27 of 37 datasets, with none of Qwen's nine leads outside the bootstrap intervals, and Gemma on all 37. All three models degrade on low-resource languages, fine-grained or noisy labels, and rubric-based quality judgments. Jev's choice probabilities are well calibrated and support selective prediction. Binary probabilities rank well but are poorly placed relative to a fixed 0.5 threshold; thresholds tuned on training data raise micro-F1 on UNFAIR-ToS from 0.50 to 0.75. Jev answers MMLU's calculation-heavy questions more accurately than other MMLU questions (94% vs. 91%), whereas both open models, and all three on C-Eval, find them harder. Rotating the options leaves Jev's accuracy unchanged and withholding the question drops it to near chance, ruling out shallow memorization but not memorized question-answer pairs. We release the code, harness and all raw responses.

Corpus-Guided Dual-Path Propagation for Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation
基于语料库引导的双路径传播用于图检索增强生成
Abstract
Graph-based retrieval-augmented generation supports multi-hop retrieval by organizing corpus information into graphs. However, existing relation-free graph retrieval methods rely primarily on query-sentence similarity to search for evidence. This can exclude useful bridging evidence with low query similarity and activate incidental entities unrelated to the reasoning chain. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective approach called NexusRAG, which augments the relation-free Tri-Graph with a corpus-level entity neighborhood structure derived from joint entity co-occurrence and semantic similarity. NexusRAG employs this structure to guide two complementary propagation paths: neighborhood-constrained semantic propagation through sentences identifies the query-relevant entity frontier, while direct structural propagation between neighboring entities expands that frontier to structurally related entities. The propagated entity weights also inform neighborhood-aware passage initialization for Personalized PageRank. Experiments on three multi-hop QA benchmarks and a domain-specific subset of GraphRAG-Bench show that NexusRAG consistently outperforms existing approaches. On the GraphRAG-Bench subset, NexusRAG achieves the highest evidence recall in all question categories, exceeding baselines by 4.2-8.1 points. The implementation code is available at https://github.com/Jacob-biu/NexusRAG.

基于图的检索增强生成通过将语料库信息组织成图来支持多跳检索。然而，现有的无关系图检索方法主要依赖于查询-句子相似性来搜索证据。这可能会排除具有低查询相似性的有用桥接证据，并激活与推理链无关的偶然实体。本文提出了一种简单而有效的方法，称为NexusRAG，它通过联合实体共现和语义相似性推导出一个基于语料库的实体邻域结构，从而增强无关系的三图（Tri-Graph）。NexusRAG利用该结构引导两条互补的传播路径：通过句子的邻域约束语义传播识别与查询相关的实体边界，而相邻实体之间的直接结构传播则将该边界扩展到结构相关的实体。传播的实体权重还为个性化PageRank提供了邻域感知的段落初始化。在三个多跳问答基准和GraphRAG-Bench的特定领域子集上的实验表明，NexusRAG始终优于现有方法。在GraphRAG-Bench子集上，NexusRAG在所有问题类别中实现了最高的证据召回率，超过基线4.2-8.1个百分点。实现代码可在https://github.com/Jacob-biu/NexusRAG获取。

Reader Proficiency Shapes Layer-wise Surprisal Profiles
读者熟练度影响层级惊讶度特征
Abstract
Reading behaviour varies not only with linguistic input, but also with reader proficiency. In this study, we investigate whether the layer-wise relationship between surprisal from large language models (LLMs) and human gaze behaviour differs across readers with different levels of proficiency and across gaze measures. Using eye-tracking data from the MECO L2 corpus, we compare readers with high and low vocabulary proficiency on first-pass gaze duration (FPGD) and total gaze duration (TGD). We quantify the distribution of the predictive power of surprisal across model layers using Predictive Depth. Across 12 tested LLMs, we find that readers with lower vocabulary proficiency tend to show deeper Predictive Depth for FPGD, while this difference is smaller for TGD. Also, TGD itself shows deeper Predictive Depth than FPGD in both proficiency groups. These patterns suggest that where predictive power is concentrated across LLM layers may be related to the timing and breadth of the reading processes captured by different gaze measures, and that this relationship can vary with reader proficiency. Our leave-one-out analysis further shows that the advantage of informative internal layers extends to unseen texts, although the practical improvements in prediction are limited. Overall, our results show that layer-wise LLM surprisal provides a useful perspective on variation in reading behaviour across both reader groups and gaze measures.

阅读行为不仅受到语言输入的影响，还受到读者熟练度的影响。本研究探讨了来自大型语言模型（LLMs）的层级惊讶度与人类注视行为之间的关系是否因读者的熟练度不同而有所差异，以及在不同的注视测量中是否存在差异。我们使用MECO L2语料库的眼动追踪数据，比较了高词汇熟练度和低词汇熟练度的读者在首次注视持续时间（FPGD）和总注视持续时间（TGD）上的表现。我们通过预测深度（Predictive Depth）量化了惊讶度在模型层级中的预测能力分布。在测试的12个LLMs中，我们发现低词汇熟练度的读者在FPGD上往往表现出更深的预测深度，而在TGD上的差异则较小。此外，在两个熟练度组中，TGD本身的预测深度也比FPGD更深。这些模式表明，预测能力在LLM层级中的集中位置可能与不同注视测量所捕捉的阅读过程的时机和广度有关，而这种关系可能会因读者的熟练度而有所不同。我们的逐一排除分析进一步表明，信息丰富的内部层的优势扩展到未见文本，尽管在预测上的实际改进有限。总体而言，我们的结果表明，层级LLM惊讶度为理解不同读者群体和注视测量之间的阅读行为变化提供了有益的视角。

Billiger.de Products: A Bilingual Entity Matching Benchmark
Billiger.de 产品：双语实体匹配基准
Abstract
Existing product matching benchmarks primarily contain English-language product data and are often dominated by a single product category, such as electronics. This paper introduces Billiger.de Products, a bilingual German and English entity matching benchmark covering thirteen consumer product categories, including difficult-to-handle categories such as clothing and furniture. The benchmark data originates from the German price comparison platform billiger.de. Following the design of WDC Products, the benchmark offers multiple variants that differ in the fraction of corner cases, the size of the development set, and the fraction of entities unseen during training. An aligned English translation of every offer keeps all pairs, splits, and labels fixed, while cross-language test sets combine German and English records within individual pairs. We validate the benchmark using six supervised matchers and zero-shot GPT-5.2 on both language versions and the cross-language test sets. The validation shows the difficulty of the benchmark. The comparison of the results on the English version of the benchmark to the results on the German version shows that most matchers score on average higher on the English version. The difference is largest for RoBERTa and HierGAT, while the zero-shot LLM runs are largely insensitive to the language. Comparing the F1 scores achieved by PLM-based matchers on the English version of Billiger.de Products with their performance on existing English-language benchmarks, such as WDC Products and Abt-Buy, shows that Billiger.de Products is more difficult than these benchmarks.

Which papyrus HTR is good enough? Character-error-rate tolerance of four papyrological tasks on Greek texts
哪个纸草文献的手写文本识别（HTR）足够好？四项希腊文本的纸草学任务的字符错误率容忍度
Abstract
Purpose: Most Greek papyri remain unpublished and undigitised; a handwritten text recognition (HTR) pipeline that transcribes them automatically would let scholars discover documents and literary works that have so far gone unread. Recognition systems for Ancient Greek papyri are in statu nascendi, and how accurate they must be for a given papyrological task has not been examined. To answer this and set a benchmark for Greek papyrus HTR, we test a range of character error rates (CER) against four papyrological tasks, using published editions as ground truth. Methods: From 63,846 current editions of Greek texts in papyri.info, we imitate a letters-only "perfect HTR" output by removing the editorial layer, then degrade it with a seeded algorithm to exact CERs of 1 - 50%, with lost lines and four error-shape variants. On these data we train small models (TF-IDF, fastText, a character CNN, ByT5-small) for document type, dating and documentary-versus-literary classification, and apply eight keyword search methods. We compare models trained on clean text with models retrained at a specific CER level, and evaluate across CERs. Results: Tolerance differs by task. With clean-trained models, documentary-versus-literary classification retains 90% of its metric up to 20% CER; document type up to 7.5%; subtypes and search up to 5%; dating only up to 3%. Retraining on text containing character errors largely eliminates the sharp degradation that otherwise sets in above 15% CER. Models generally tolerate concentrated damage in a long document better than small errors spread across a short text. Conclusion: The study provides a CER target for each of the four tasks and shows that models trained on noisy text make current, imperfect text recognition useful for them.

目的：大多数希腊纸草文献尚未出版和数字化；一个能够自动转录这些文献的手写文本识别（HTR）流程将使学者能够发现迄今为止未被阅读的文档和文学作品。古希腊纸草文献的识别系统仍处于起步阶段，针对特定纸草学任务所需的准确度尚未得到研究。为了解答这一问题并为希腊纸草文献的HTR设定基准，我们对四项纸草学任务测试了一系列字符错误率（CER），以已出版的版本作为真实数据。方法：从 papyri.info 上的 63,846 个希腊文本当前版本中，我们通过去除编辑层来模拟仅包含字母的“完美 HTR”输出，然后使用种子算法将其降级至 1% - 50% 的确切 CER，伴随丢失的行和四种错误形状变体。在这些数据上，我们训练了小型模型（TF-IDF、fastText、字符 CNN、ByT5-small）用于文档类型、年代和文献与文学分类，并应用了八种关键词搜索方法。我们比较了在干净文本上训练的模型与在特定 CER 水平上重新训练的模型，并在不同 CER 上进行评估。结果：不同任务的容忍度各异。在干净训练的模型中，文献与文学分类在 20% CER 以下保持 90% 的指标；文档类型保持在 7.5%；子类型和搜索保持在 5%；年代仅保持在 3%。在包含字符错误的文本上重新训练大大消除了在 15% CER 以上出现的急剧降级。模型通常比在短文本中分散的小错误更能容忍长文档中的集中损坏。结论：本研究为四项任务提供了 CER 目标，并表明在噪声文本上训练的模型使当前不完美的文本识别对这些任务变得有用。

Selecting What Matters: Semantic Compression-Guided Selective Pooling for Long-Context Embeddings
选择重要信息：语义压缩引导的长上下文嵌入选择性池化
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong potential as training-free text encoders for long-context embeddings. Existing approaches primarily improve information flow under causal attention and typically construct embeddings by uniformly averaging all token representations. However, for long documents, such mean pooling can dilute salient semantic information with abundant redundant or weakly informative content. To this end, we propose SCSP, a training-free framework that leverages semantic compression for informative token selection in long-context embedding. Specifically, SCSP first partitions a document into sentence-aware chunks and appends a semantic compression prompt to each chunk. A prompt-isolated attention mask preserves information flow among document tokens while restricting each prompt to its corresponding local context. We then use the attention patterns elicited by these prompts to estimate token importance, select informative tokens, and aggregate their intermediate-layer representations into the final embedding. Extensive experiments on long-context embedding benchmarks demonstrate that SCSP can be integrated into both zero-shot and fine-tuned models in a plug-and-play manner, consistently improving their performance.

大型语言模型（LLMs）作为无训练的长上下文嵌入文本编码器展现出强大的潜力。现有方法主要在因果注意力下改善信息流，通常通过对所有标记表示进行均匀平均来构建嵌入。然而，对于长文档而言，这种均值池化可能会稀释显著的语义信息，混入大量冗余或信息量较弱的内容。为此，我们提出了SCSP，一个利用语义压缩进行信息标记选择的无训练框架，旨在长上下文嵌入中实现信息选择。具体而言，SCSP首先将文档划分为句子感知的块，并为每个块附加一个语义压缩提示。提示隔离的注意力掩码在文档标记之间保持信息流动，同时将每个提示限制在其对应的局部上下文中。然后，我们利用这些提示引发的注意力模式来估计标记的重要性，选择信息丰富的标记，并将其中间层表示聚合成最终嵌入。在长上下文嵌入基准上的大量实验表明，SCSP可以以即插即用的方式集成到零样本和微调模型中，持续提升其性能。

A Proposed Rubric for Evaluating Expressed Clinical Reasoning in Large Language Model Responses
评估大型语言模型响应中表达的临床推理的建议评分标准
Abstract
Rubrics support the structured evaluation of language models. We propose a rubric for assessing expressed clinical reasoning in model responses, drawing on three bodies of work: medical education assessment frameworks (ART, SCT, Key Feature Problems and OSCE); clinical LLM benchmarks (MedR-Bench, HealthBench, TIMER-Bench, DR.BENCH, PrIME-LLM and PatientSafeBench); and general LLM reasoning evaluation research, including the Factuality-Validity-Coherence-Utility taxonomy, FaithCoT-Bench and C2-Faith. We use groundedness as a clinically oriented adaptation of the taxonomy's factuality category. The rubric brings these concepts together in a multidimensional framework for scoring free-text responses to gold-standard clinical vignettes. It includes provisional behavioural anchors, applicability rules and a separate flag for case-specific safety-critical errors. General-domain frameworks inform its design but are not treated as validated clinical instruments. The rubric does not replace case-specific reference criteria or the task-specific metrics of existing benchmarks. It has not yet been tested for inter-rater reliability, construct validity or clinical utility. Its immediate purpose is to make evaluation decisions explicit and open to scrutiny before empirical testing.

CompOrca: Corpus-Scale Compliance Labelling of Instruction-Tuning Data
CompOrca：指令调优数据的语料库规模合规标注
Abstract
Studying how fine-tuning shapes refusal and noncompliance behaviour requires identifying training examples that refuse, evade or otherwise fail to fulfil the requested task. But existing annotation covers evaluation sets of a few thousand prompts at most. We present CompOrca, a compliance labelling over the entirety of the 4,233,923-example OpenOrca corpus. Every example was classified as compliant or noncompliant by five independent passes of an open-weight LLM judge (LongCat-2.0, 1.6T parameters), and the corpus is released as unanimous compliance (94.75%), unanimous noncompliance (1.28%), and nonunanimous rows (3.97%) along with the raw vote counts. A single pass flags 2.7-3.2% of the corpus as noncompliant, while only 1.28% is flagged by all five, allowing for filtering the most ambiguous samples. Against 450 human-annotated examples, 150 of them annotated twice (human-human $\kappa = 0.93$), the unanimous compliance and noncompliance labels are 97.3% and 86.7% precise, the latter a high-precision subset, not a complete enumeration, of noncompliance. Published refusal-detection methods recall only between 0.4% and 94.1% of the noncompliance class. We release the full corpus with its per-row labels and vote counts at https://huggingface.co/datasets/cemiu/CompOrca

Empathetic spoken dialogue requires models to use both what is said and how it is said to decide how to respond. Explicit CoT can improve paralinguistic perception and make acoustic cues more explicit in replies, yet does not ensure their effective use in response planning. We call this mismatch the perception-reasoning gap. In addition, CoT may not fully capture acoustic cues in words, and generating it adds inference latency. To address these limitations, we introduce LoopSLM, which builds on looped Transformers for latent reasoning, reusing a decoder block to refine hidden states with acoustic grounding at every pass. Its two-stage training further narrows the perception-reasoning gap by separating learning to reason from learning to respond, enabling direct inference without CoT. On EchoMind, LoopSLM improves paralinguistic understanding, reasoning, and reply quality over Qwen2.5-Omni-7B. Against the CoT-SFT baseline, LoopSLM gains over 20 points in reasoning accuracy while generating 64.5% fewer tokens at half the latency. It also outperforms Qwen3-Omni-Thinking on most empathetic reply metrics with 34x lower latency. Despite training only on dialogue data, LoopSLM improves accuracy on general audio benchmarks.

富有同理心的语音对话要求模型同时考虑说什么和如何说，以决定如何回应。显式的链式推理（CoT）可以改善对副语言信息的感知，并使声学线索在回复中更加明确，但并不能确保在响应规划中有效利用这些信息。我们将这种不匹配称为感知-推理差距。此外，链式推理可能无法完全捕捉单词中的声学线索，而生成链式推理会增加推理延迟。为了解决这些局限性，我们引入了LoopSLM，它基于循环变换器（looped Transformers）进行潜在推理，在每次传递中重用解码器块以利用声学基础来细化隐藏状态。其两阶段训练进一步缩小了感知-推理差距，通过将推理学习与响应学习分开，使得无需链式推理即可进行直接推理。在EchoMind上，LoopSLM在副语言理解、推理和回复质量上优于Qwen2.5-Omni-7B。与链式推理-微调（CoT-SFT）基线相比，LoopSLM在推理准确性上提高了20多个百分点，同时生成的标记减少了64.5%，延迟减半。它在大多数同理心回复指标上也优于Qwen3-Omni-Thinking，延迟降低了34倍。尽管仅在对话数据上进行训练，LoopSLM在一般音频基准测试中的准确性也有所提升。

The Geometry of Inference in Transformer Residual Streams
变换器残差流中的推理几何
Abstract
Transformer language models build predictions through successive residual updates, but how their representations become specific to an eventual outcome remains unclear. We study this process by comparing intermediate residual states with their own final states and an empirical bank of final states from other contexts. Across six pretrained language models, the own endpoint becomes preferable to the average alternative early, while many individual endpoints remain closer. These competing sets generally shrink with depth, but their membership changes and their surviving endpoints need not become more similar to one another. Directional alignment and endpoint rank can therefore improve while Euclidean distance to the final state changes little. We develop a simple high-dimensional model that separates the roles of norm, alignment, and endpoint geometry, showing how gradual directional changes can produce sharp reductions in competition. We also prove that a straight path toward the own endpoint cannot introduce new competitors under either Euclidean or cosine distance; observed entries thus establish departures from straight-line convergence. Finally, endpoints associated with lower-ranked output tokens tend to lie farther away in cosine distance across all studied models, connecting residual geometry to output organization. Together, these findings characterize increasing geometric specificity during transformer inference and explain why distance, competitor count, and concentration of the surviving endpoints provide distinct views of that process.

变换器语言模型通过连续的残差更新构建预测，但它们的表示如何特定于最终结果仍不清楚。我们通过比较中间残差状态与其最终状态以及来自其他上下文的最终状态的经验库来研究这一过程。在六个预训练语言模型中，自身的终点早期变得比平均替代品更可取，而许多个体终点仍然保持更接近。这些竞争集通常随着深度的增加而缩小，但它们的成员资格发生变化，存活的终点不必彼此变得更加相似。因此，方向对齐和终点排名可以改善，而与最终状态的欧几里得距离变化不大。我们开发了一个简单的高维模型，分离了范数、对齐和终点几何的角色，展示了渐进的方向变化如何产生竞争的急剧减少。我们还证明了朝向自身终点的直线路径在欧几里得或余弦距离下不能引入新的竞争者；因此，观察到的条目确立了与直线收敛的偏离。最后，与较低排名输出标记相关的终点在所有研究模型中往往位于余弦距离更远的地方，将残差几何与输出组织联系起来。这些发现共同表征了变换器推理过程中几何特异性的增加，并解释了为何距离、竞争者数量和存活终点的集中度提供了该过程的不同视角。

Can Vision-Language Models Stay Helpful When Facing Implicit Risks? Intent-Privilege OPSD for Efficient Safety-Helpfulness Alignment
视觉-语言模型在面对隐性风险时能否保持有效性？意图特权的在线策略自蒸馏（OPSD）用于高效的安全性-有效性对齐
Abstract
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) remain vulnerable to cross-modal implicit risks: visual and textual inputs that appear benign in isolation can jointly elicit unsafe responses. Existing safety methods often require large preference datasets, costly multi-rollout training, or additional safeguards at inference time. They may also sacrifice helpfulness by directly refusing requests that could be answered safely. In this paper, we propose Intent-Privilege On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD), which leverages evidence-grounded intent as privileged supervision during training to help VLMs recognize implicit risks and provide safe, useful responses instead of blanket refusals. OPSD distills a teacher's intent-conditioned preferences over responses into a student using a single rollout per prompt; the student then responds without intent annotations or an additional safety module. With only 1,447 safety-specific examples - 95% fewer than standard preference datasets - OPSD reduces training time by 5x relative to multi-rollout GRPO-style training and average inference length by 7%. It attains the highest ratio for joint safety-helpfulness success, which measures the proportion of responses that are both safe and helpful, across all five evaluation groups. Remarkably, on pooled SIUO+HoliSafe, this success ratio rises from 43.9% to 53.5%. These results show that training-time intent supervision can improve both safety and helpfulness while substantially reducing data, training, and inference costs.

视觉-语言模型（VLMs）仍然容易受到跨模态隐性风险的影响：看似无害的视觉和文本输入在结合时可能引发不安全的响应。现有的安全性方法通常需要大量的偏好数据集、昂贵的多次回合训练或在推理时的额外保护措施。这些方法可能还会通过直接拒绝可以安全回答的请求而牺牲有效性。在本文中，我们提出了意图特权在线策略自蒸馏（OPSD），该方法在训练过程中利用基于证据的意图作为特权监督，以帮助VLMs识别隐性风险并提供安全且有用的响应，而不是一味拒绝。OPSD通过每个提示仅使用一次回合，将教师的意图条件偏好蒸馏到学生中；学生随后在没有意图注释或额外安全模块的情况下进行响应。仅用1,447个安全特定示例——比标准偏好数据集少95%——OPSD将训练时间相较于多次回合的GRPO风格训练减少了5倍，平均推理长度减少了7%。它在所有五个评估组中达到了安全性与有效性成功的最高比率，该比率衡量了既安全又有效的响应所占的比例。值得注意的是，在汇总的SIUO+HoliSafe上，这一成功比率从43.9%上升到53.5%。这些结果表明，训练时的意图监督可以在显著减少数据、训练和推理成本的同时，提高安全性和有效性。

AnthroDial: Benchmarking LLM Anthropomorphism in Autonomous Social Interaction
AnthroDial：自主社交互动中大型语言模型的人性化基准测试
Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as social agents, yet credible human-like interaction requires more than fluent responses or persona consistency. Agents must autonomously decide whether, when, and how to communicate while adapting to evolving contexts, goals, and relationships. Existing research, however, lacks a unified approach to enabling, evaluating, and improving such capabilities in continuous, open-ended interaction. We introduce AnthroDial, a unified framework for developing anthropomorphic social agents from three complementary aspects: MindFlow, a lightweight interaction harness that enables autonomous, asynchronous, and adaptive communication through a dynamic Mind Buffer; CAPS-Eval, a theory-grounded framework for evaluating cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of anthropomorphic interaction; and a scalable training paradigm that combines SEEDS for environment expansion with DiAPO for adaptive capability optimization. We further construct evaluation datasets covering everyday communication, game interaction, and long-horizon character interaction. Extensive experiments across diverse models and scenarios demonstrate improved interaction autonomy and naturalness, validate the reliability, discriminativeness, and agreement with human rankings of CAPS-Eval, and confirm the effectiveness of our training paradigm. Together, these components provide a unified framework for developing credible human-like social agents in open-ended interaction.

大型语言模型（LLMs）越来越多地被作为社交代理使用，但可信的人类互动不仅仅需要流畅的回应或一致的人格特征。代理必须自主决定何时、如何进行交流，同时适应不断变化的情境、目标和关系。然而，现有研究缺乏一个统一的方法来实现、评估和提升这种在持续开放式互动中的能力。我们提出了AnthroDial，一个从三个互补方面开发人性化社交代理的统一框架：MindFlow，一个轻量级的互动工具，通过动态的思维缓冲区实现自主、异步和适应性的交流；CAPS-Eval，一个基于理论的框架，用于评估人性化互动的认知、情感和行为维度；以及一个可扩展的训练范式，结合了环境扩展的SEEDS与适应能力优化的DiAPO。我们进一步构建了涵盖日常交流、游戏互动和长期角色互动的评估数据集。针对不同模型和场景的广泛实验表明，互动的自主性和自然性得到了改善，验证了CAPS-Eval在可靠性、区分性和与人类排名一致性方面的有效性，并确认了我们训练范式的有效性。这些组成部分共同提供了一个统一的框架，用于在开放式互动中开发可信的人类社交代理。

One Threshold Does Not Fit All Languages: Language-Conditional Deferral for Reliable and Efficient Low-Resource Text Classification
一个阈值并不适用于所有语言：基于语言条件的延迟策略用于可靠且高效的低资源文本分类
Abstract
In the Global South, the lower-income countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America where most of the world's languages are spoken, a deployed text classifier usually runs on ordinary CPUs, serves many languages with a single model, has few labeled examples in any of them, and relies on people to catch its mistakes. Such a system is only useful if it can promise how often it will be wrong: at most a fixed fraction of the labels it assigns on its own may be incorrect, and everything else must go to a person. Split conformal prediction delivers this promise through a single confidence threshold, normally estimated on validation data pooled across languages. We ask whether the promise reaches every language, and it does not. On MasakhaNEWS (16 African languages) and AfriSenti (12 languages plus two never seen in training), a pooled threshold meets the 90% target on average but covers Somali at 77.5%, Tigrinya at 83.7%, and the two unseen languages at 77.5% and 81.2%. Estimating one threshold per language brings every language to between 89.1% and 91.0% without retraining, and it shows how unequal the cost of the promise is: keeping it means sending 43% of Somali news and over 80% of Amharic and Xitsonga tweets to a person, against under 8% of Nigerian Pidgin news. One or two hundred labels per language are enough and the models train in minutes on one CPU core, so the fix is affordable: calibrate, report, and budget human review one language at a time.

在全球南方，非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲的低收入国家是世界上大多数语言的发源地，部署的文本分类器通常在普通CPU上运行，使用单一模型服务多种语言，且每种语言的标注样本稀少，依赖人类来纠正其错误。这样的系统只有在能够承诺其错误频率时才有用：它自行分配的标签中最多只能有固定比例是错误的，其余的必须由人来处理。分裂符合预测通过一个单一的置信阈值实现了这一承诺，通常在跨语言的验证数据上进行估计。我们探讨这一承诺是否适用于每种语言，结果发现并非如此。在MasakhaNEWS（16种非洲语言）和AfriSenti（12种语言加上两种未在训练中见过的语言）上，汇总阈值平均达到90%的目标，但对索马里语的覆盖率为77.5%，对提格利尼亚语为83.7%，而对两种未见语言的覆盖率分别为77.5%和81.2%。为每种语言估计一个阈值使每种语言的覆盖率提升至89.1%至91.0%之间，无需重新训练，并且显示出这一承诺的成本不平等：保持这一承诺意味着需要将43%的索马里新闻和超过80%的阿姆哈拉语及西宗加语推文交给人类处理，而尼日利亚皮钦语新闻的比例则低于8%。每种语言一两百个标签就足够，模型在一个CPU核心上几分钟内即可训练完成，因此这一解决方案是可负担的：逐一校准、报告并预算人类审核。

It's Not What the Image Shows: Irrelevant Context Destabilises VLM Judges Without Informing Them
图像所示并非关键：无关上下文使视觉语言模型评判者不稳定而未能提供信息
Abstract
Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used in place of human annotators, making it important that substitutability tests reflect the model rather than incidental evaluation conditions. We introduce MIST, the Misleading-Image Stress Test: 200 English sentences, each built around a phrase readable either figuratively or literally and shown with an aligned image depicting its reading, a misleading image depicting the opposite, or no image at all. The guidelines require the label to be decided from the sentence alone, so no image should change any answer. We expected each image to pull a judge's labels toward the sense it depicts, and neither kind did. Across thirteen VLM judges, an aligned image changed 20.5% of labels and a misleading one 19.4%, close for every judge and both above the 11.6% produced by deleting the ignore-the-image instruction with the image left in place. Yet only 37% of the labels that differ between the two images moved toward the sense shown, and agreement with our human annotators is unchanged whether the image is absent, aligned or misleading. The effect is smaller in the seven judges that pass the alt-test than in the six that never do, but present in all of them: what moves a judge is that an image is there, not which of the two it is, so a substitutability verdict describes a configuration as much as a model.

视觉语言模型（VLMs）越来越多地被用来替代人类注释者，这使得替代性测试必须反映模型本身，而非偶然的评估条件。我们引入了MIST，即误导性图像压力测试：200个英语句子，每个句子围绕一个可以比喻或字面理解的短语构建，并配有一个与其含义相符的图像、一个描绘相反含义的误导性图像，或根本没有图像。指导方针要求仅根据句子决定标签，因此任何图像都不应改变任何答案。我们预计每个图像都会将评判者的标签拉向其所描绘的意义，但实际上两种图像都没有这样做。在十三位VLM评判者中，一个对齐的图像改变了20.5%的标签，而一个误导性的图像改变了19.4%，对于每位评判者而言，这两个比例相近，并且都高于通过删除忽略图像指令而保留图像时产生的11.6%。然而，在两种图像之间不同的标签中，仅有37%向所示意义移动，与我们的人工注释者的意见一致，无论图像是缺失、对齐还是误导，均未发生变化。在通过替代性测试的七位评判者中，这一效应较小，而在六位从未通过的评判者中则较大，但在所有评判者中均存在：影响评判者的因素是图像的存在，而不是两者中的哪一个，因此替代性判断描述的是一种配置，而不仅仅是一个模型。

Retrieval Capacity of Self-Attention Under Competition
竞争下自注意力的检索能力
Abstract
How many tokens from its context does a language model actually use, and what determines that number? We study this question through self-attention. Without retraining, we retain only the tokens with the highest attention weights at each head, layer, and query, keeping their original weights unchanged. By varying the selected set size and measuring the increase in negative log-likelihood (NLL), we estimate the effective attention set size needed to stay within a chosen loss tolerance. Relatively small selected sets can keep NLL close to the full-attention baseline, although the required size varies across models. Attention-based selection substantially outperforms random selection. Selected sets exhibit geometric structure, although geometric separation alone does not establish that model loss is preserved. Extending context while evaluating the same prediction targets increases the required set size, while its fraction of context decreases over the tested range. Experiments with a fixed supporting fact show that additional background pushes its tokens down the attention ranking and reduces their attention mass. Renormalizing the retained weights can substantially reduce the required set size, showing that it also depends on how selected representations are combined. Conditional theoretical models explain how competition and attention-mass retention can produce growing set sizes without more distinct information to retrieve. These results provide a way to measure effective attention set size in language models and investigate its dependence on context, competition, and aggregation.

语言模型实际使用其上下文中的多少个标记，以及决定这个数量的因素是什么？我们通过自注意力研究这个问题。在不重新训练的情况下，我们仅保留每个头、层和查询中具有最高注意力权重的标记，并保持其原始权重不变。通过改变所选集合的大小并测量负对数似然（NLL）的增加，我们估计在选定的损失容忍度内所需的有效注意力集合大小。相对较小的选定集合可以使NLL接近全注意力基线，尽管所需的大小在不同模型之间有所不同。基于注意力的选择显著优于随机选择。所选集合表现出几何结构，尽管仅凭几何分离并不能证明模型损失得以保持。在评估相同预测目标时扩展上下文会增加所需的集合大小，而其上下文的比例在测试范围内减少。固定支持事实的实验表明，额外的背景会将其标记推向注意力排名的下方，并减少它们的注意力质量。重新归一化保留的权重可以显著减少所需的集合大小，表明这也取决于所选表示的组合方式。条件理论模型解释了竞争和注意力质量保持如何在没有更多独特信息可检索的情况下产生不断增长的集合大小。这些结果提供了一种测量语言模型中有效注意力集合大小的方法，并探讨其对上下文、竞争和聚合的依赖性。

How Many Labels Does a Language Need? Annotation Budgets and Cross-Lingual Pooling for African-Language Text Classification
语言需要多少标签？非洲语言文本分类的标注预算与跨语言汇聚
Abstract
Every text classifier for an African language begins with a budgeting question: how many labelled examples are needed, and can labels from other African languages stand in for them? We answer both questions empirically for 28 language-task pairs, news topic classification in 16 languages (MasakhaNEWS) and tweet sentiment in 12 languages (AfriSenti), using a character n-gram linear model that trains in seconds on two CPU cores with no pretrained weights and no accelerator. Monolingual learning curves at budgets from 25 to several thousand labels show that topic classification reaches 90\% of its full-data macro-F1 with about 400 labels in the median language, while sentiment is still improving at the full training size in 11 of 12 languages and needs thousands of labels. Pooling the full training data of the other languages in the benchmark is worth a great deal at small budgets and nothing at large ones: at 25 target labels it adds 0.20 macro-F1 on average for news (up to 0.43 for Lingala) and 0.08 for sentiment, the gain decays to zero by 800 labels, and at full size pooling hurts in 9 of 16 and 8 of 12 languages. Twenty-five target labels plus pooled data match what 100 to 400 monolingual labels achieve for most news languages. A complete zero-shot transfer matrix shows that transfer without any target labels recovers a median of only 13\% (news) and 4\% (sentiment) of the gap between a majority-class predictor and the in-language model, with the exceptions explained by shared script (Amharic and Tigrinya), shared lexicon (English and Nigerian Pidgin, the Arabic dialects), or a shared label prior rather than by language family. We release code that regenerates every number from the public benchmark files and translate the results into concrete annotation guidance for teams building African-language classifiers without GPUs.

Zero-shot Dependency Parsing with Unsupervised Cross-Lingual Bootstrapping
无监督跨语言自举的零样本依存句法分析
Abstract
Pre-trained language models (PLMs) with encoder-based architectures have shown impressive capabilities in zero-shot cross-lingual transfer for various language understanding tasks. However, applying this technique to dependency parsing remains a significant challenge due to its syntactic nature. To boost model generalizability across linguistic typologies, we propose a cross-lingual unsupervised bootstrapping method to improve syntactic knowledge within the PLM. We show that our method achieves a significant improvement in zero-shot parsing performance in low-resource languages. Analysis of these bootstrapped models uncovers increased robustness in recognizing syntactic structures, evidenced by higher scores in parameter-free tree probing tests.

It's All Training: A Fully Synthetic Single-Stage Recipe for LLMs
全在训练中：一种完全合成的单阶段大语言模型配方
Abstract
Current pre-training datasets are derived from web crawls, with all their issues, and were not designed to support mid- and post-training pipelines--for instance, they contain little explicit reasoning. Thus, many frontier labs have begun to develop their own internal datasets, starting from state-of-the-art models, to augment their pre-training data mix, eg, with reasoning traces to address cold-start problems. While demonstratively effective, none of these datasets are public, and the effect of this so-called synthetic data on knowledge and skill acquisition of language models, including small ones, remains poorly understood. We present SYNTH, the first open-source synthetic corpus derived from 58,698 Wikipedia articles that collapses pre-, mid-, and post-training into a single training stage via structured amplification of curated encyclopedic seeds. We evaluate SYNTH by training a suite of models: a 56M tiny model (Monad), 0.3B-0.6B dense models (Baguettotron), and a 13B / 1B-active MoE. At iso-compute, SYNTH outperforms filtered web data, and our models remain competitive with similarly-sized open-weight baselines. Because SYNTH is back-translated from grounded passages, SYNTH-trained models achieve high factual precision despite 10-140x fewer training tokens, with memorization targeted by the seed corpus. These results show that synthetic datasets, including our SYNTH dataset, are capable of producing competitive generalist models from a fraction of the training data, enabling rapid iteration as the frontier advances. These findings open up possibilities for both generalist models with significantly increased data efficiency, as well as domain-specific models where no instruction or conversational data is available. Finally, we publicly release our SYNTH dataset and the suite of Baguettotron models under a permissive license, thus supporting open-source language model development.

The Unequal Influence of Bad Advice: Using Training Data Attribution to Modulate Emergent Misalignment
不平等的错误建议影响：利用训练数据归因调节新兴的不一致性
Abstract
Fine-tuning large language models on narrow, misaligned tasks can undo their post-training alignment and induce novel misaligned behaviors -- a phenomenon known as \emph{emergent misalignment} (EM). EM has been linked to persona-like representations, where fine-tuning might reduce loss by amplifying a harmful or 'evil' persona. It remains unclear which properties of the training data drive this effect: whether all harmful examples contribute approximately equally to misalignment and whether different models are equally affected by the same fine-tuning examples. In this work, we use training data attribution to quantitatively estimate how much each harmful example contributes to EM. We benchmark the quality of the attribution via retraining -- a sound attribution score should enable us to enhance or attenuate EM by filtering data on that score. Score-based filtering can substantially enhance or attenuate EM; we find that both data-attribution scores and a black-box harmfulness score can identify consequential examples. All models we test become misaligned when trained on the same dataset, and influence scores perform best when filtering data from the same model that computed them. We find cross-model generalization of influence scores from scores derived from the three model families we tested, but this generalization does not recover same model filtering performance.

在狭窄且不一致的任务上对大型语言模型进行微调可能会破坏其训练后的对齐，并引发新的不一致行为——这一现象被称为 extit{新兴不一致性}（EM）。EM与类似人格的表现相关，其中微调可能通过放大有害或“邪恶”的人格来降低损失。目前尚不清楚训练数据的哪些特性驱动了这一效应：所有有害示例是否对不一致性贡献大致相同，以及不同模型是否同样受到相同微调示例的影响。在本研究中，我们利用训练数据归因定量估计每个有害示例对EM的贡献。我们通过重新训练来基准测试归因的质量——一个合理的归因得分应该使我们能够通过根据该得分过滤数据来增强或减弱EM。基于得分的过滤可以显著增强或减弱EM；我们发现数据归因得分和黑箱有害性得分都能识别出重要示例。我们测试的所有模型在同一数据集上训练时都会变得不一致，而影响得分在过滤来自计算它们的同一模型的数据时表现最佳。我们发现来自我们测试的三种模型家族的得分具有跨模型的影响得分泛化，但这种泛化并未恢复同一模型的过滤性能。

Learning What to Remember: Long-horizon Counterfactual Memory Optimization
学习记忆内容：长时间跨度的反事实记忆优化
Abstract
Persistent textual memory allows language models to carry information across long interactions, but learning what to remember is fundamentally a credit-assignment problem. A memory rewrite may only become useful many steps later, while much of the observed utility may be inherited from information already stored before the rewrite. We introduce Memory Gain Policy Optimization (MGPO), which isolates the incremental value of each memory rewrite by crediting it for its marginal contribution to current and future downstream utility. This turns delayed memory utility into a direct learning signal for optimizing what information should persist. We study MGPO on document-level information extraction, where structured supervision makes the effects of individual memory updates directly measurable. MGPO improves extraction while reducing average memory length by nearly 80% relative to the initial memory policy before optimization. The learned memory policy also supports reuse and transfer across domains, downstream models without further training. These results show that effective memory learning depends not only on preserving useful information, but on identifying which memory updates create lasting incremental value.

持久的文本记忆使语言模型能够在长时间交互中携带信息，但学习记住什么本质上是一个信用分配问题。记忆重写可能在许多步骤后才变得有用，而观察到的效用很大程度上可能来自于重写之前已经存储的信息。我们引入了记忆增益策略优化（Memory Gain Policy Optimization, MGPO），该方法通过将每次记忆重写的边际贡献归因于当前和未来下游效用，来隔离每次记忆重写的增量价值。这将延迟的记忆效用转化为优化应保留哪些信息的直接学习信号。我们在文档级信息提取上研究了MGPO，其中结构化监督使得个别记忆更新的效果可以直接测量。与优化前的初始记忆策略相比，MGPO在提高提取效果的同时将平均记忆长度减少了近80%。所学习的记忆策略还支持在不同领域和下游模型之间的重用和迁移，而无需进一步训练。这些结果表明，有效的记忆学习不仅依赖于保留有用信息，还依赖于识别哪些记忆更新创造了持久的增量价值。

BITEM at the NTCIR-19 R2C2 Task: Predicting Confidence from Agentic RAG Pipeline Signals
BITEM在NTCIR-19 R2C2任务中的表现：从代理RAG管道信号预测置信度
Abstract
The BITEM team entered both subtasks of the NTCIR-19 R2C2 task with a single agentic pipeline, in which a model searches, reads and records evidence over a movie corpus while an orchestrator holds the record and rules on what may be submitted. A claim is admitted only once an entailment cascade has checked it against the passage it cites, and an answer is released only once enough checked evidence stands behind it. Each question is run three or four times, every pass retrieving from a corpus stripped of what the earlier passes have already seen. The confidence filed with each answer is computed by the orchestrator from what the run leaves behind and is never asked of the model, which is offered no way to rate itself. The two retrieval runs placed 4th and 5th of 22, pooling the passes was worth 0.0709 nDCG@20, and the gain was largest on the multi-hop and post-processing-heavy questions, where the organisers rank the pooled run top of the field. Sixteen of the 25 answer runs were built on passages these two runs supplied, 12 of them filed by other teams. HMR rewards a system whose confidence is high where it answers right and low where it answers wrong. The pipeline reached an accuracy of 0.9219, 6th of 25, while the confidence filed with those answers gave an HMR of 0.4915, 13th. A few rules crafted over those same recorded signals, with no further model call and no further retrieval, raise that to an accuracy of 0.9375, 5th, and an HMR of 0.6985, 9th. Ranking on HMR alone can reward a system for answering wrongly with low confidence, so we propose accHMR, the accuracy multiplied by HMR, which reports the reward in proportion to the accuracy, and on which the revised rules would have scored 0.6549, 5th. For future work, fitting a model on the numbers the pipeline already produces, rather than writing such rules by hand, would be a real step forward.

Auditable Long-Term Memory: A Deterministic Retrieval Chain Measured at 479/475 of 500 on LongMemEval-S
可审计的长期记忆：在 LongMemEval-S 上以 479/475 的分数测量的确定性检索链
Abstract
We evaluate an auditable long-term memory system on LongMemEval-S. Its retrieval chain uses hybrid candidate retrieval, cross-encoder reranking, coverage-first packet compilation, and deterministic reasoning scaffolds; an LLM is used only as a replaceable final reader. The chain places all gold sessions in the candidate pool for 468/470 answerable questions and produces gold-complete packets for 462/470. With a Claude Opus reader called through an unpinned CLI alias, two 500-question passes score 479/500 and 475/500 under GPT-4o. The 72 answerable knowledge-update rows used a substantively modified scoring prompt whose effect under the official text has not been measured. The pair straddles Chronos High's published 478/500; differences in reader generation, scoring prompt, and possibly data version, plus within-system variance, establish neither superiority nor equivalence. A grok-4.6-high reader on the same packets scores 476/474, while a maximum-reasoning-effort agentic variant regresses to 461/465. The headline passes differ on eight verdict-flip rows. A second judge agrees with the headline judge on 493/500 rows (98.6%) in each pass and scores both passes 472/500; the official judge also flips three verdicts when re-scoring byte-identical pass-1 answers. Negative controls rejected a verifier that repaired three wrong drafts but broke eleven correct drafts. All components were developed on the same 500 questions, with no held-out evaluation or independent human adjudication; retrieval and scaffold method sources and transcript-derived audits are held; and the headline reader received extra operator context, its complete requests were not retained, and MCP tool availability is unresolved. We release materialized packets, scaffolds, reader outputs, judge verdicts, and controls for inspection and re-scoring.

Layer-Informed Fine-Tuning via Three-Stage Functional Segmentation of LLMs
通过三阶段功能分段对大型语言模型进行层信息细调
Abstract
In recent years, the performance of large language models (LLMs) on reasoning tasks has been remarkable, even surpassing human capabilities on various benchmarks. However, there remains a lack of clear understanding in the academic community regarding how the structure and internal parameters of LLMs progressively solve complex reasoning problems. In this study, we investigate the inference process of LLMs on cross-linguistic materials and propose the hypothesis that LLM layers exhibit a structured division of labor across conceptualization, reasoning, and textualization. Based on this hypothesis, we introduce a bottleneck identification mechanism using sensitivity analysis to pinpoint the most critical functional stage for a specific task. Leveraging this insight, we propose a novel approach, Layer-Informed Fine-Tuning (LIFT), which achieves efficient and effective fine-tuning by selectively updating only these functionally critical layers. We then conduct extensive experiments to show that the LIFT method not only accelerates the training process but also significantly improves model performance.

近年来，大型语言模型（LLMs）在推理任务上的表现令人瞩目，甚至在多个基准测试中超越了人类能力。然而，学术界对于LLMs的结构和内部参数如何逐步解决复杂推理问题仍缺乏清晰的理解。在本研究中，我们探讨了LLMs在跨语言材料上的推理过程，并提出假设：LLM层在概念化、推理和文本化方面表现出结构化的分工。基于这一假设，我们引入了一种瓶颈识别机制，利用敏感性分析来确定特定任务的最关键功能阶段。借助这一洞察，我们提出了一种新方法，层信息细调（Layer-Informed Fine-Tuning, LIFT），通过选择性地更新这些功能关键层，实现高效且有效的细调。随后，我们进行大量实验，表明LIFT方法不仅加速了训练过程，还显著提升了模型性能。

Gender bias across LLMs is common and highly heterogenous
大型语言模型中的性别偏见普遍存在且高度异质
Abstract
Understanding gender biases in large language models (LLMs) is increasingly important as these systems become embedded in decision-support tools with real consequences. Prior research has focused only on a small set of models, leaving open the extent to which gender biases are common and heterogeneous across LLMs. We address this gap across ten models released between April 2025 and June 2026, spanning nine vendors, using two paradigms: gender attribution to stereotyped phrases (Study 1) and moral judgment of abuse or torture against a woman or a man to prevent a catastrophic outcome (Study 2). In Study 1, two of ten models attributed masculine-stereotyped phrases to female writers more often than the reverse, while three models showed the opposite pattern. In Study 2, several models converged on a male-disadvantaging asymmetry that was directionally consistent with a documented human tendency to protect female targets from harm, though the specific conditions under which this asymmetry emerged varied by model; three other models, by contrast, showed no variation across conditions. These results indicate that gender-related biases are common in LLMs. Their direction and magnitude, however, are highly heterogeneous, to the point that some models behave in diametrically opposite ways to others. Bias auditing should therefore be treated as an ongoing, multi-vendor process, rather than a one-time assessment.

随着大型语言模型（LLMs）逐渐嵌入具有实际后果的决策支持工具中，理解其性别偏见变得愈发重要。以往的研究仅关注少量模型，未能揭示性别偏见在 LLMs 中的普遍性和异质性。我们通过对十个在2025年4月至2026年6月间发布的模型进行研究，涵盖九个供应商，填补了这一空白，采用了两种范式：对刻板印象短语的性别归属（研究1）以及对女性或男性遭受虐待或折磨的道德判断，以防止灾难性后果（研究2）。在研究1中，十个模型中有两个模型更频繁地将男性刻板印象短语归因于女性作者，而三个模型则显示出相反的模式。在研究2中，多个模型趋向于一种对男性不利的不对称性，这与已记录的人类倾向于保护女性目标免受伤害的趋势在方向上是一致的，尽管这种不对称性出现的具体条件因模型而异；相比之下，另外三个模型在条件之间没有表现出变化。这些结果表明，LLMs 中的性别相关偏见是普遍存在的。然而，它们的方向和幅度却高度异质，以至于某些模型的表现与其他模型截然相反。因此，偏见审计应被视为一个持续的、多供应商的过程，而非一次性的评估。

Correct Answers, Invalid Traces: What Verifiable Grade-School Math Reveals About Chain-of-Thought Traces
正确答案，无效痕迹：可验证的基础数学如何揭示思维链痕迹
Abstract
Chain-of-thought traces are widely read as records of how models reach their answers, informing debugging, agent auditing, and claims about reasoning. Testing this interpretation is difficult because natural-language thinking traces are rarely mechanically verifiable. We revisit it in iGSM, a synthetic grade-school mathematics benchmark designed to study thinking traces and used to support claims of learned reasoning and planning. Crucially, iGSM exposes the exact quantities and dependencies that a correct solution should use, allowing generated traces to be checked programmatically step by step and enabling us to test whether correct answers are reliably accompanied by valid traces. We first evaluate models trained exclusively on valid, minimal traces. Answer correctness and trace validity nearly coincide in distribution but decouple out of distribution: on the hardest instances, 31.6% of correct answers have invalid traces, over half of which pass all syntactic and arithmetic checks but fail semantic dependency checks. We then intervene on trace supervision. Non-minimal training traces induce non-minimal outputs, while re-asking the same problem with a different query reveals computations inherited from the original query, weakening minimality as evidence of selective planning. Shuffling tokens in 10% of training trace sentences preserves near-clean accuracy even out of distribution despite no trace passing verification. Swapped training traces likewise retain high in-distribution accuracy. We discuss the implications of these findings for chain-of-thought monitoring and interpretation in the context of AI safety.

思维链痕迹被广泛视为模型如何得出答案的记录，帮助调试、代理审计以及推理的相关论断。验证这种解释是困难的，因为自然语言思维痕迹很少能够机械验证。我们在 iGSM 中重新审视了这一点，iGSM 是一个合成的基础数学基准，旨在研究思维痕迹，并用于支持学习推理和规划的论断。至关重要的是，iGSM 揭示了正确解决方案应使用的确切数量和依赖关系，使得生成的痕迹可以逐步进行程序化检查，从而使我们能够测试正确答案是否可靠地伴随有效痕迹。我们首先评估了仅在有效、最小痕迹上训练的模型。答案的正确性和痕迹的有效性在分布上几乎重合，但在分布外则解耦：在最困难的实例中，31.6% 的正确答案伴随无效痕迹，其中超过一半通过了所有的语法和算术检查，但未通过语义依赖检查。然后我们对痕迹监督进行了干预。非最小训练痕迹会导致非最小输出，而用不同查询重新提问同一问题则揭示了从原始查询继承的计算，削弱了最小性作为选择性规划的证据。在 10% 的训练痕迹句子中打乱标记，即使在分布外也能保持近乎干净的准确性，尽管没有痕迹通过验证。交换训练痕迹同样保持了高的分布内准确性。我们讨论了这些发现对思维链监测和解释在人工智能安全背景下的影响。

How Local Mixing Encodes Relative Position in Global NoPE Attention
局部混合如何在全局无位置编码注意力中编码相对位置
Abstract
The attention operation is naively position invariant. However, positional information is fundamental to natural language, and therefore a variety of explicit position encodings have been developed in transformer-based models, such as rotary position encoding (RoPE). Although explicit position encodings have long been assumed to be required, recent methods that interleave local mixing layers, such as sliding window attention (SWA) and gated linear attention, while not encoding position (NoPE) in global attention layers has recently been shown to be successful at scale. How and why this approach works is not well-understood. In this paper, we develop an explanation of how hybrid models of this sort can implicitly encode position at global NoPE layers. Supported by both theoretical and empirical evidence, our central argument is that SWA and gated linear attention induce a recency bias in the residual stream that propagates to, and is selected by, the global attention logits. Moreover, in contrast to the implicit position encodings found in models with only global NoPE attention, in which positional information arises solely from the causal mask, the recency bias in hybrid models can be maintained across long sequences. In addition to deepening our understanding of how hybrid models encode position, these findings may provide insights for how to encode position in a way that can extrapolate to longer sequence lengths indefinitely.

注意力操作在本质上是位置不变的。然而，位置信息对于自然语言至关重要，因此在基于变换器的模型中开发了多种显式位置编码，例如旋转位置编码（RoPE）。尽管长期以来人们认为显式位置编码是必需的，但最近一些交错局部混合层的方法，如滑动窗口注意力（SWA）和门控线性注意力，在全局注意力层中不编码位置（NoPE）却在大规模上取得了成功。这种方法的工作原理和原因尚不清楚。在本文中，我们提出了一种解释，说明这种混合模型如何在全局 NoPE 层中隐式编码位置。我们的核心论点是，SWA 和门控线性注意力在残差流中引入了一种近期偏差，这种偏差会传播到全局注意力的 logits 中并被选择。此外，与仅具有全局 NoPE 注意力的模型中仅通过因果掩码产生的隐式位置编码不同，混合模型中的近期偏差可以在长序列中保持。除了加深我们对混合模型如何编码位置的理解，这些发现还可能为如何以一种能够无限推断到更长序列长度的方式编码位置提供见解。

From Routing Signals to Selective Review: Visual regrounding in MoE VLMs
从路由信号到选择性审查：MoE VLM中的视觉再定位
Abstract
Vision-language models (VLMs) may accept false visual premises, answering questions about a target object's color, count, location, or state even when it is absent. We call this reliability-critical behavior a target-absence grounding failure. Existing visual-grounding detectors primarily rely on generated responses, hidden states, or uncertainty measures. We present the first framework to leverage internal routing decisions in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) VLMs to detect target absence before generation and guide selective correction. We extract target-token routing probabilities from Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct and Gemma-4-26B-A4B-it, train a separate L2-regularized linear detector for each model, and use its predictions to selectively invoke a target-aware review prompt. Using routing alone, the Qwen and Gemma detectors achieve ROC-AUCs of 0.9988 and 0.9956 on GQA-Inpaint and retain 0.8095 and 0.7781 on the external OBER dataset, respectively. The resulting routing-gated policy improves end-to-end accuracy on GQA-Inpaint and OBER by +22.25% and +12.17% for Qwen, and by +13.42% and +1.39% for Gemma, without modifying model weights. Further analysis shows that the signal is localized to the target-object token, emerges in early MoE layers, and is distributed across partially substitutable experts. Although cross-dataset threshold shifts require recalibration, false-positive review causes limited harm overall, suggesting that intervention risk can be controlled through joint selection of the detector threshold and review prompt. Overall, we show that routing probabilities alone preserve actionable information about visual perception, allowing computation already produced by an MoE VLM to support low-cost detection and selective visual regrounding.

视觉语言模型（VLMs）可能接受错误的视觉前提，即使目标对象缺失，也能回答关于其颜色、数量、位置或状态的问题。我们将这种对可靠性至关重要的行为称为目标缺失的定位失败。现有的视觉定位检测器主要依赖于生成的响应、隐藏状态或不确定性度量。我们提出了第一个框架，利用混合专家（Mixture-of-Experts, MoE）VLM中的内部路由决策，在生成之前检测目标缺失并指导选择性修正。我们从Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct和Gemma-4-26B-A4B-it中提取目标标记的路由概率，为每个模型训练一个单独的L2正则化线性检测器，并使用其预测来选择性地调用目标感知审查提示。仅使用路由，Qwen和Gemma检测器在GQA-Inpaint上分别达到了0.9988和0.9956的ROC-AUC，并在外部OBER数据集上保持了0.8095和0.7781的表现。最终的路由门控策略在GQA-Inpaint和OBER上分别提高了Qwen的端到端准确率22.25%和12.17%，Gemma的准确率提高了13.42%和1.39%，而无需修改模型权重。进一步分析表明，该信号局限于目标对象标记，出现在早期的MoE层，并在部分可替代的专家之间分布。尽管跨数据集的阈值变化需要重新校准，但假阳性审查总体上造成的危害有限，这表明通过共同选择检测器阈值和审查提示，可以控制干预风险。总体而言，我们表明，仅凭路由概率就能保留关于视觉感知的可操作信息，使得已经由MoE VLM产生的计算支持低成本的检测和选择性视觉再定位。

LongHarness Bench: Stress-Testing Language Model Harnesses for Long-Context Reasoning
LongHarness 基准：对长上下文推理的语言模型工具的压力测试
Abstract
Language-model (LM) harnesses enable LMs to operate effectively over long contexts using additional compute. However, existing long-context evaluations are insufficient for distinguishing modern harnesses, reflected by saturated accuracy across harnesses and largely similar evaluation costs. In this paper, we introduce a benchmark for evaluating both the effectiveness and efficiency of long-context harnesses. Our tasks require diverse retrieval strategies, including lexical search and semantic matching, together with strategic and adaptive reasoning over global and local context. Much of the context is semantically relevant but only a small subset is useful at each step, creating both a challenging search problem and different accuracy--cost tradeoffs across processing strategies. For example, one task requires identifying every person satisfying several conditions using evidence scattered across documents; strategically checking the most selective condition first can narrow the search before verifying the remaining conditions. We evaluate multiple families of frontier language models with four state-of-the-art harnesses. Our benchmarks remain challenging even for strong model--harness combinations: the best reaches 68\% macro-average accuracy across four evaluation suites. More importantly, we find that the same underlying model can exhibit markedly different efficiency under different harnesses. Our results establish efficiency as an important axis for long-context evaluation and provide a testbed for developing harnesses that process context strategically rather than exhaustively.

语言模型（LM）工具使得语言模型能够在长上下文中有效运作，尽管需要额外的计算资源。然而，现有的长上下文评估不足以区分现代工具，这体现在工具之间的准确率趋于饱和以及评估成本大致相似。本文介绍了一种用于评估长上下文工具的有效性和效率的基准。我们的任务要求多样的检索策略，包括词汇搜索和语义匹配，以及对全局和局部上下文的战略性和自适应推理。大部分上下文在语义上是相关的，但每一步中只有一小部分是有用的，这既造成了一个具有挑战性的搜索问题，也导致了不同处理策略之间的准确性与成本的权衡。例如，一个任务要求识别满足多个条件的每一个人，证据散布在多个文档中；首先战略性地检查最具选择性的条件可以在验证剩余条件之前缩小搜索范围。我们评估了多种前沿语言模型与四种最先进的工具的组合。即使对于强大的模型-工具组合，我们的基准仍然具有挑战性：最佳组合在四个评估套件中达到了68%的宏平均准确率。更重要的是，我们发现相同的基础模型在不同工具下表现出显著不同的效率。我们的结果确立了效率作为长上下文评估的重要维度，并提供了一个测试平台，用于开发以战略性而非穷举方式处理上下文的工具。

Pretraining Latent Information Feedback Transformers with Teacher Supervision
带有教师监督的潜在信息反馈变换器的预训练
Abstract
Transformer language models (LMs) are feed-forward: deep-layer representations are never fed back to shallower layers, and the only pathway for information to flow downward across generation steps is the decoded token. This narrow channel forces models to recompute intermediate results and to discard alternative continuations. In this work, we remove this bottleneck during pretraining, introducing the LIFT (Latent Information Feedback Transformer) architecture and training method which enable LMs to propagate state across generation. We achieve this by turning recurrent-state learning into a teacher-forced prediction problem: each input token is paired with an information-dense state, derived from the next-token distribution of an off-the-shelf pretrained LM. The model, extended with a small number of additional parameters, is then trained to predict both the next token and the next state. As the input states are precomputed, pretraining remains fully parallel across positions. At inference, the model's own predicted states are fed back, with a minor computational overhead that decreases with model size. Experiments with pretrained models ranging from 135M to 1B parameters show that LIFT consistently outperforms standard Transformers and baselines on language modeling, downstream reasoning tasks, and procedural tasks under token-matched budget, while being on par with or ahead of compute-matched Transformers. Moreover, a controlled study on a state-tracking task shows that a tiny LIFT outperforms same-size Transformers trained on 8x more data, even when trained with the states of a Transformer that fails the task. Overall, we show that LMs can learn to exploit deep-to-shallow feedback during pretraining via scalable teacher supervision.

变换器语言模型（LMs）是前馈式的：深层表示从未反馈到浅层，信息在生成步骤中的唯一向下流动路径是解码的标记。这一狭窄的通道迫使模型重新计算中间结果并丢弃替代的延续。在本研究中，我们在预训练过程中消除了这一瓶颈，提出了LIFT（潜在信息反馈变换器）架构和训练方法，使得语言模型能够在生成过程中传播状态。我们通过将递归状态学习转化为一个教师强制预测问题来实现这一点：每个输入标记与一个信息密集的状态配对，该状态源自现成的预训练语言模型的下一个标记分布。然后，扩展了少量附加参数的模型被训练以预测下一个标记和下一个状态。由于输入状态是预计算的，预训练在各个位置上保持完全并行。在推理时，模型自身预测的状态被反馈，计算开销较小，并且随着模型规模的增大而减少。对参数范围从1.35亿到10亿的预训练模型的实验表明，LIFT在语言建模、下游推理任务和在标记匹配预算下的程序任务中始终优于标准变换器和基线，同时在计算匹配的变换器中表现相当或更好。此外，在一个状态跟踪任务上的控制研究表明，即使训练时使用了一个未能完成任务的变换器的状态，微小的LIFT也优于在8倍更多数据上训练的同规模变换器。总体而言，我们展示了语言模型可以通过可扩展的教师监督在预训练期间学习利用深到浅的反馈。

STEPQuant: When and Where Errors Matter in Delta-Rule Recurrent State Quantization
STEPQuant：在 Delta-Rule 循环状态量化中错误何时何地重要
Abstract
Linear attention replaces growing KV caches with fixed-size recurrent states, yet these persistent states can become a substantial memory bottleneck under concurrent serving. Directly quantizing recurrent states to low precision often leads to severe accuracy degradation, as quantization errors propagate through successive state updates. We discover that the impact of these errors depends on two complementary dimensions: temporally, errors in long-lived memory can persist across many decoding steps; spatially, errors in different key rows affect model outputs differently, while state magnitudes vary substantially along both rows and columns. Motivated by these observations, we propose STEPQuant, a spatial-temporal post-training quantization framework for Delta-rule recurrent states. STEPQuant allocates precision according to error magnitude and memory lifetime, and jointly fits key-row and value-column scales based on state distributions and key-row impact on output error. Experiments on Qwen3.8-27B and Kimi-Linear-48B-A3B-Instruct across both long- and short-generation benchmarks show that STEPQuant closely matches FP32-state accuracy under a nominal 6-bit budget and outperforms uniform INT8 in its 4-bit configuration. Integrated into SGLang with optimized GPU kernels, 6-bit STEPQuant achieves over 5x recurrent-state compression and reduces total serving memory by up to 68.7%. Our code is available at https://github.com/Dreamer-Toby/STEPQuant.

线性注意力用固定大小的循环状态替代了不断增长的 KV 缓存，然而这些持久状态在并发服务下可能成为显著的内存瓶颈。直接将循环状态量化为低精度通常会导致严重的准确性下降，因为量化误差会在连续的状态更新中传播。我们发现这些误差的影响取决于两个互补的维度：在时间上，长寿命内存中的误差可以在多个解码步骤中持续存在；在空间上，不同关键行中的误差对模型输出的影响各不相同，而状态的大小在行和列之间也有显著差异。基于这些观察，我们提出了 STEPQuant，一个针对 Delta-rule 循环状态的时空后训练量化框架。STEPQuant 根据误差大小和内存生命周期分配精度，并根据状态分布和关键行对输出误差的影响共同调整关键行和数值列的尺度。在 Qwen3.8-27B 和 Kimi-Linear-48B-A3B-Instruct 的长生成和短生成基准测试中，实验表明 STEPQuant 在名义 6 位预算下与 FP32 状态的准确性非常接近，并且在其 4 位配置中优于均匀 INT8。集成到 SGLang 中并优化 GPU 内核后，6 位 STEPQuant 实现了超过 5 倍的循环状态压缩，并将总服务内存减少了多达 68.7%。我们的代码可在 https://github.com/Dreamer-Toby/STEPQuant 获取。
