Sequential recommenders increasingly use language-model architectures designed to capture complex, context-dependent interactions. Yet it remains unclear whether widely used benchmarks actually require this modelling capacity. We investigate this question using two simple, recency-weighted pairwise probes that do not learn higher-order sequence representations: Sequential Rules (SeqRules) and our Probabilistic Collaborative Transition Model (PCTM). Using the evaluation protocol of eSASRec, at least one probe exceeds our eSASRec reproduction by 15-38% on three Amazon datasets and by 4.4% on MovieLens-1M, but trails it by 27.3% on MovieLens-20M. On the four remaining datasets, at least one probe also outperforms our sampled-softmax SASRec reproduction by 9-28%, suggesting that these widely used benchmarks are poorly suited to measuring gains from higher-order sequence modelling. More broadly, comparing Transformer-based models against strong recency-weighted pairwise probes provides a concrete test of whether a benchmark can meaningfully measure gains from higher-order sequence modelling.

Long-context modeling is a pivotal capability for Large Language Models, yet the quadratic complexity of attention remains a critical bottleneck, particularly during the compute-intensive prefilling phase. Our previous work, FlashPrefill, mitigates this cost through instantaneous pattern discovery and max-based dynamic thresholding; however, it remains an algorithmic prototype that is still distant from production deployment. In this paper, we present FlashPrefill V2, which evolves FlashPrefill from a prototype toward practical long-context serving along three dimensions. First, we introduce a mean correction term that effectively suppresses the approximation error, keeping performance degradation manageable even at extreme sparsity levels. Second, we redesign the sparse attention operator with PackGQA memory access, warp specialization, and pingpong pipelining, fully aligning with the latest FlashAttention-3/4 implementations and supporting FP8 inference to meet practical quantization requirements. Third, FlashPrefill V2 natively supports paged KV cache and continuous batching, allowing integration as an attention backend in modern inference frameworks such as SGLang. Extensive evaluations on NVIDIA H20 GPUs---among the most widely deployed inference accelerators---demonstrate that FlashPrefill V2 delivers up to 47.26x and 27.19x speedups over FlashAttention-2 at 128K context length under FP8 and BF16 precision, respectively, and, in FP8, still achieves a 30.49x speedup against an FA3/4-aligned dense baseline.

Recommendation systems increasingly adopt a two-stage pipeline, where an ID-based retriever retrieves candidates and an LLM-based reranker refines their rankings. To improve retrieval quality, reranker-to-retriever distillation is commonly used to transfer the reranker's knowledge to the retriever. For practical deployment, however, this pipeline must continually adapt to evolving interests and incoming interactions. A naive solution is to repeatedly update the LLM reranker and distill its latest knowledge, but this incurs prohibitive costs. Updating the retriever alone is cheaper, but its limited capacity makes adaptation from sparse data difficult. We propose SCoRD, a continual knowledge distillation framework for LLM-based reranking pipelines under a non-stationary data stream. SCoRD introduces a semantic reasoning assistant that distills the LLM's ability to infer underlying user intents into reusable intent-level guidance. It selectively distills reranker knowledge to the retriever on low-confidence sequences, guides retriever-only updates without repeated LLM inference, and feeds retriever-derived representations and intent-drift signals back to the reranker. Experiments on real-world datasets show that SCoRD enables effective and efficient retriever-reranker co-adaptation.

Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for training-free recommendation, but LLM-generated user interests are often too broad for fine-grained item retrieval. Existing methods incorporate collaborative filtering (CF) signals in a pre-LLM manner through candidate reranking or prompt augmentation, yielding limited gains. We propose CoRRe, a training-free recommendation framework with a post-LLM paradigm that injects CF signals into LLM-generated item representations, which are later matched with LLM-generated user interests for ranking. Specifically, CoRRe refines the directions of item embeddings using an item-item co-purchase graph and their magnitudes using item popularity. Experiments on real-world datasets show that CoRRe consistently outperforms existing training-free methods and achieves competitive or superior performance compared with training-based methods, without requiring any model training or task-specific fine-tuning.

Embedding-based retrieval (EBR) is pivotal in e-commerce search but often struggles with complex semantics. While recent methods often fine-tune large language models (LLMs) for representation learning, they typically lack robust mechanisms for handling complex and implicit semantics. While Retrieval-GRPO (R-GRPO) recently introduced reinforcement learning to dense retrieval, it suffers from noisy top-K candidates due to limited batch sampling and biased relevance assessments caused by using similarly trained LLMs as reward models. To tackle these issues, we propose Supervised Retrieval-GRPO with Semantic Identifiers (SSR-GRPO). Specifically, our method first proposes a dual-perspective framework for relevance assessment. It leverages both Semantic Identifiers (SIDs) produced by quantization learning and dense representation vectors to generate more unbiased relevance scores. Furthermore, leveraging the hierarchical similarity relationships of the generated SIDs, we mine a set of hard negative samples that serve two purposes: (1) to design a masking function integrated into R-GRPO, effectively filtering intra-group noisy samples; and (2) to construct a Retrieval-DPO task composed of positive and negative sample pairs, enabling the model to capture fine-grained semantic distinctions from a pair-wise perspective. By integrating these optimization strategies, we propose SSR-GRPO. Extensive offline and online experiments validate SSR-GRPO's effectiveness, and it has been deployed on a large-scale e-commerce platform.

Many real-world AI systems represent entities, behaviors, and structured information using discrete machine-native symbols rather than natural language. While these representations are compact and preserve task-relevant structure, they lie outside the linguistic token space of pretrained large language models (LLMs), creating a fundamental divide between language modeling and structured prediction. We introduce UniLang, a unified generative framework that bridges this divide by extending pretrained LLMs to treat machine-native symbols as first-class generative units alongside natural-language tokens. UniLang expands the LLM's vocabulary and embedding space with grounded machine-native representations, enabling textual and symbolic tokens to be jointly modeled and generated under a single autoregressive objective. This unified interface allows pretrained LLMs to directly operate on machine-native representations without requiring them to be verbalized as natural language or relying on task-specific architectures. We evaluate UniLang on two structurally distinct tasks, sequential recommendation and legal precedent prediction, spanning different domains and types of structured prediction. Across both tasks, UniLang consistently outperforms strong baselines, demonstrating a path toward extending pretrained LLMs beyond language and using them as a common generative modeling backbone for heterogeneous machine-native representations.

Most modern optimizers form their momentum as an exponential moving average (EMA) of past gradients, forgetting every direction at one fixed rate. However, the inputs a deep network sees during training can be highly anisotropic, with a few directions queried frequently while most are seen rarely. Recent methods address this anisotropy by wrapping extra processing around this buffer, leaving the momentum update itself unchanged. We propose DeltaMomentum, which builds direction-awareness into the momentum update rule. The main observation is that the gradient of a linear layer splits into an input that acts as a key and an output-side error that acts as a value. Exploiting the key-value structure, DeltaMomentum updates the momentum buffer by the canonical delta rule, so each direction is forgotten at a rate set by how often it appears. We prove that it is a valid momentum, that it applies the input-side curvature correction without matrix inversion, and that it clears stale directions faster than EMA under both a fixed and a drifting optimum. It is a drop-in replacement for the momentum buffer of any optimizer, its coefficient transfers across widths under $μ$P, and its extra compute stays between $22.2\%$ and $25.0\%$ of a gated-MLP block's linear cost with no persistent memory. In FineWeb-Edu pretraining, AdamW with DeltaMomentum (DeltaAdamW) reaches AdamW's validation loss in up to $46.39 \pm 4.32\%$ fewer steps at 67M and $22.12 \pm 0.80\%$ at 370M over three seeds, and the gain persists at 1B on a Chinchilla-optimal budget. A Muon baseline tuned under the same protocol sits above DeltaAdamW at both language-model scales, and the gain holds for SGD, ResNet-18, and ViT-Tiny on CIFAR-10. Training-time diagnostics confirm the predicted mechanism, better gradient tracking and healthier input directions.

The BrowseComp-Plus benchmark disentangled the evaluation of agentic search by replacing opaque web search with a fixed corpus, so that an agent's role can be separated from the retriever's. That corpus, however, holds only about 100K documents and was assembled from the supporting documents of the benchmark's own queries plus mined hard negatives, so the evidence and the distractors were both selected per query. We introduce $\text{BrowseComp-Plus}_{\text{CM}}$, which keeps the BrowseComp-Plus questions but relocates their evidence to ClimbMix, a 400B-token, 553M-document mixture of web text released by NVIDIA for pre-training language models and built without reference to any benchmark. Our main contribution is the projection pipeline that makes this possible: it decomposes each question into atomic reasoning hops and grounds every hop in the new corpus, retaining a question only when automatic verification, an independent agent, and human review all confirm that every hop is supported. The pipeline is dataset-agnostic and applies to any benchmark whose questions decompose into verifiable facts. Applied to the 830 BrowseComp-Plus test questions, our pipeline yields 57 fully grounded questions with question-level relevance judgments. Projection shifts the difficulty onto retrieval, as the strongest agent we evaluate loses five points of answer accuracy but sees its evidence recall fall from 84.3% to 21.4% while issuing 63% more search calls. As the first of a series of projections, we release the pipeline, the benchmark, and our analyses at https://github.com/castorini/cmass.

Vulnerability prioritization is inherently preference dependent, since the same CVE can receive different remediation priority under different operational preference scenarios. Existing scoring systems and ranking methods typically assume a fixed criterion. In practice, organizations already operate under a preference scenario, but this preference is often implicit and difficult to express as a written prompt instruction, while triage queries usually do not encode it. Past validated triage cases under the current scenario are more readily available. We study query-based CVE prioritization in this setting and propose HARP, a graph-grounded multi-view framework that ranks candidates from a natural-language query together with a support bank of historical labeled examples from the current preference scenario, without requiring an explicit textual summary of that scenario. HARP retrieves evidence from a vulnerability knowledge graph, scores candidates with policy-conditioned global, enterprise, and user views, and fits view-fusion weights from sampled supports. Experiments across three preference scenarios and multiple backbone LLMs show that HARP outperforms multiple baselines, expressing our method's effectiveness.

Quantization is a fundamental technique to handle the growing sizes of embeddings generated by modern models. Existing quantization schemes are largely embedding agnostic and allocate bits uniformly across dimensions. However, recent models produce embeddings with significant geometric structure. In this work, we investigate whether a variable bit allocation scheme can improve quantization quality under a fixed memory budget. We propose a simple variable bit allocation framework that partitions an embedding into contiguous buckets and allocates storage non-uniformly across them. Using a greedy allocation strategy, we instantiate this framework for both Product Quantization (PQ) and Scalar Quantization (SQ). We perform a series of experiments on embeddings known to have the Matryoshka property (MRL), and consistently observe that non-uniform allocations outperform uniform baselines at identical storage budgets. The largest improvements occur in the low-bit regime, where uniform allocation is particularly inefficient for MRL embeddings. At the same compression rates, variable allocation improves recall by up to 8\% for PQ and up to 18\% for SQ. Our results suggest a new direction for structure-aware compression and indexing techniques for large-scale retrieval systems.

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures significantly expand model capacity without a proportional increase in computational cost. However, optimizing their hyperparameters---particularly the learning rate---at extreme scales of both model size and token budget via sweeping remains computationally prohibitive. In this paper, we propose a compute-efficient, two-step hyperparameter transfer framework that estimates optimal learning rates for training large MoE models by transferring them across scaling model widths, and subsequently extrapolating to trillion-token horizons. First, we formulate a Maximal Update Parameterization ($μ$P) adaptation for MoE architectures utilizing Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and the Muon optimizer, demonstrating that optimal learning rates transfer consistently across width-scaled models. Second, we extend this transferability along the token dimension by establishing a predictive scaling law. By applying linear regression to the optimal values derived from small proxy models on limited budgets, we successfully extrapolate the ideal learning rate to massive training horizons (e.g., 10 trillion tokens) with high fidelity ($R^2=0.95$). Consequently, this indicates that proxy training on small models is sufficient to determine the optimal learning rate for the extensive training of large-scale MoEs. We apply the proposed methodology to pretrain our foundation model (155B total, 17B active parameters) from scratch, and the stable training and evaluation results validate that optimal configurations for full-scale target models can be accurately predicted with minimal ablation costs.

A lot of prior work addressed key-value (KV) cache selection and compression by sparse attention to enable long-context inference for transformer language models without excessive hardware budgets. We provide a new method for fine-tuning models with sparse attention. It works for any KV cache policy, runs on a moderate hardware budget (e.g., a single Nvidia A100 GPU with 40 GB RAM), and allows the model to co-adapt with the policy, often outperforming models trained with exact attention (sequence parallelism). We also provide an efficient implementation of H2O sparse attention (the leading policy in our experiments) with dedicated scaled dot product attention kernel support. KeysAndValues (https://github.com/awslabs/keys_values), a new open source library for long-context inference and fine-tuning, provides easy-to-use and performant code for all methods discussed here.

Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) is a prominent fine-tuning method for large models, achieving competitive performance with reduced memory overhead. However, a persistent performance gap remains between LoRA and full fine-tuning. Recent studies have sought to narrow this gap by employing one-step gradient approximations of pretrained weights to align LoRA updates with the principal directions or intrinsic dimensionalities of full fine-tuning updates. Nevertheless, these approaches fail to capture the full dynamics of the gradients. In this paper, we propose LoRA-GA$^2$, an effective fine-tuning algorithm that fully leverages multi-step gradient information. Specifically, we introduce a lightweight probe for multi-step gradients of pretrained weights that incurs no additional GPU memory cost and only marginal time overhead. We further employ a spectrum-aware, importance-based rank allocation and optimal initialization derived from multi-step gradients. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that LoRA-GA$^2$ consistently outperforms existing LoRA variants while preserving the efficiency advantages of vanilla LoRA. For instance, LoRA-GA$^2$ surpasses the leading baseline by an average of 0.66 points on the GLUE benchmark, and outperforms the strongest baseline by 1.03 points on GSM8K and 0.87 points on HumanEval, respectively.

Agentic language models repeatedly encode tool and skill schemas that recur across requests in different combinations and orders, preventing standard prefix caching from reusing their key--value (KV) states. We introduce \textbf{ReCache}, a framework for independently caching resource representations while reducing their inference-time computational and memory overhead. Resource-wise attention removes cross-resource interactions and assigns resource-local positions, producing composition-invariant KV blocks. ReCache then restricts resource visibility to contribution-selected layer--KV-head-group routes and retains only invocation-critical fields through structural and semantic pruning. We evaluate ReCache on a benchmark assembled from seven public tool- and skill-use datasets, including resource-disjoint tests. Resource-wise attention matches dense invocation performance (82.3\% versus 82.4\% Inv-F1) while providing a 3.655$\times$ time-to-first-token speedup. The complete framework reduces allocated KV-tensor memory by 92.43\% and accelerates attention by 1.423$\times$. These results show that separating reusable schema encoding from selective resource access substantially reduces agentic inference costs with limited effectiveness loss. The code is available at https://github.com/EIT-NLP/ReCache.

Large language model (LLM) agents can induce skills from completed tasks and reuse them later to grow more capable with experience. In practice, induced skills may transfer unreliably and can even harm the agent that retrieves them. When agent-induced skills transfer reliably across tasks remains an open question. We conduct a comprehensive and controlled study of how the way skills are induced shapes their transfer across tasks. Specifically, we compare task-level with subtask-level skill induction and text with code skill formats, the two axes along which existing methods differ. Task-level skills mostly reduce the agent's performance below its no-memory baseline while subtask-level skills raise it above on average, and text skills transfer better than code skills. To further understand our findings, we examine two complementary properties of the induced skills: specificity, which measures how closely a skill matches real tasks, and abstractness, which measures how evenly its relevance spreads across tasks. Neither property alone predicts task success, but their combined effect does, which we propose as a skill utility score. The score correlates consistently with task success when skills are transferred, and subtask-level and text skills score higher. Computing skill utility only needs the skills and task descriptions but not any task execution, so our score serves as a practical diagnostic of a skill memory before any new task runs.

We present a novel view on feature evolution in Vision Transformers (ViTs) by visualizing the training process over two dimensions -- network depth (layer) and training time (epochs). We employ Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) to extract candidate sparse features from CLS-token representations and compare their activation profiles across epoch--layer pairs. This allows us to study feature-level dynamics that are not directly visible from representation-level similarity measures. Furthermore, we demonstrate how this framework of feature evolution allows us to describe feature migration, the change in the layer where a feature is most detectable during training. Our experiments show that migration is concentrated early in training, occurs more often toward earlier layers than toward deeper layers, and declines as feature organization stabilizes. We further find that deeper layers stabilize earlier and more strongly than shallow layers. The results show that our approach can be employed as a tool for understanding how ViTs learn and evolve.

We did the opposite: we fixed the target first, one user, one token at a time, 4-bit weights, ordinary CPU, and chose the architecture to suit it. The result keeps full attention in only 6 of its 18 blocks. The other 12 use short convolutions whose memory is two timesteps wide no matter how long the conversation gets, so two thirds of the network never re-reads a growing cache. Trained from scratch on 59.9B tokens, the model scores 47.31 on a five-task benchmark against a bar of 42.20 that was fixed before training began. It beats GPT-2 124M, Pythia-160M, OPT-125M and GPT-neo-125M, all trained on three to six times more data, and exceeds MobileLLM-125M's published score despite that model seeing a trillion tokens. Validation bits-per-byte is 0.8685. To check the architecture rather than the training recipe, we trained a conventional all-attention model of the same size on the same data, and wrote down the winning condition before scoring either. The hybrid won the chosen quality metric by 0.81%, matched it on downstream tasks, produced a 6.3% smaller 4-bit file, and decoded 1.76x faster at 2048 tokens of context, 2.08x against an external model of similar size. In every measurement the speed advantage is near zero at an empty context and grows with length, which is what the mechanism predicts and what a merely leaner model would not show. A simple bandwidth calculation predicts only 1.17x, so memory volume alone does not explain the gap. We also report what did not work: an unmitigated 4-bit quality cost, roughly half the convolution channels ending up inert and impossible to remove, and a vocabulary larger than this model size warrants.

The typical training process of a multimodal large language model (MLLM) involves adapting both the language model backbone and the projector between the backbone and a modality-specific encoder. We ask whether fine-tuning the backbone of an MLLM is necessary to adapt it to a new modality. Through experiments on 3D MLLMs, we find that training only the projector is sufficient to achieve strong multimodal performance relative to existing baseline models and our jointly trained MLLMs with the same encoder and backbone. We also show that joint training leads to undesirable drift in existing capabilities of the language model, which projector-only training avoids by definition. Furthermore, projector-only training has approximately twice the training sample throughput of joint training. We validate our findings across different language model backbones via 3D classification and captioning benchmarks as well as standard benchmarks evaluating language, vision, and spatial reasoning capabilities.

We present a novel approach to efficient LLM agent harness optimization through adaptive validation task selection. Harness optimization iteratively rewrites the harness code based on validation performance, enabling substantial performance gains without updating the underlying model weights. Existing approaches, however, evaluate a fixed validation set in full at every iteration, incurring substantial evaluation costs even on tasks that become less discriminative as the harness evolves. We propose $\textbf{Task-CoEvolve}$, which co-evolves the validation tasks with the harness by addressing two challenges: selecting informative tasks and estimating full-set performance from partial evaluations. Task-CoEvolve builds on the observation that tasks on which candidate harnesses disagree are more informative for distinguishing among them than tasks that are consistently solved or failed. It uses variance-weighted sampling based on past outcomes to focus evaluation on tasks near the agent's capability frontier, with the sampling distribution adapting as the harness evolves. It then estimates full-set scores from the sampled tasks by accounting for their sampling probabilities, enabling consistent comparisons across iterations despite evaluating different subsets. Experiments on online text classification and Terminal-Bench 2.1 show that Task-CoEvolve consistently outperforms fixed-subset baselines and matches the final performance of full-set search while reducing the number of evaluations during optimization by 80%. Code will be released at https://github.com/Agent4Science-UTokyo/Task-CoEvolve.

Question Answering over Temporal Knowledge Graphs (TKGQA) requires reasoning over time-sensitive facts, yet existing embedding-based methods struggle with multi-step queries due to single-pass reasoning pipelines. We propose SABET-QA, a framework that iteratively refines reasoning states across multiple hops via a bidirectional entity-temporal scoring mechanism and a slot-aware contextualization module that aligns question semantics with temporal KG embeddings. A differentiable working memory enables progressive hypothesis refinement, while auxiliary temporal boundaries serve as coarse supervision when available. Experiments on CronQuestions, Complex-CronQuestions, MultiTQ, and TimeQuestions demonstrate consistent improvements over strong baselines, particularly on complex multi-step temporal queries.

Multimodal sarcasm detection aims to identify sarcastic intent from multimodal content, where inconsistencies between literal meaning and contextual cues often signal irony. This task has attracted increasing research attention. However, accurate detection remains challenging due to instance-dependent modality contributions and misleading semantic consistency, where surface-level alignment masks underlying contradictory intent. Existing methods often rely on fixed fusion strategies and treat sarcasm as generic cross-modal mismatch, limiting their ability to capture subtle sarcasm cues and instance-specific modality interactions. To address these challenges, we propose a novel MSD framework that integrates Dynamic Gated Cross-Modal Fusion with Sarcastic-aware Contrastive Regularization (SaCR). Specifically, a bidirectional gated interaction module performs cross-modal feature filtering and adaptively calibrates textual and visual contributions at the instance level. A dynamic fusion gate further balances modality importance to generate more robust multimodal representations. Furthermore, SaCR is introduced as a label-aware contrastive regularization objective that encourages semantic consistency for non-sarcastic samples while suppressing misleading consistency in sarcastic cases. The proposed framework is trained end-to-end with a multi-objective learning strategy that jointly optimizes multimodal classification and auxiliary unimodal supervision. Extensive experiments on MMSD and MMSD2.0 demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms strong baselines.

Where does the novelty a base language model produces with no task come from, and what can an LLM judge of a long stream actually see? We dismantle a cognitively inspired generation loop over 24 conditions on three base models. Most of its effect lives in one operation: a new subject injected every few hundred tokens (an interruption) into a stream whose literal repetition is damped (habituation). We judge windows of generated text only, with the premise as the unit (n=10) and a judge measured for repeatability, against a second judge family and against human readers. Under that protocol the interruption raises judged surprise by 1.2 to 1.4 points and connection by 0.8 over habituation alone. A connective that asks for continuity hurts; a bare paragraph break adds nothing detectable on fresh text; a reset context does at least as well as a kept one; and a pre-registered replication on new premises confirms the primary contrast. Three things the window judge could not see changed the first version of this study, and we think they are of general use. The judge scores the experimenter's injected sentence as the model's own. A fixed rotation of injected sentences makes the model replay its earlier segments from beyond the judge's horizon, and the judge scores the replay as surprise and connection (65-80% of post-interruption windows at periods 150-300). And the local gains do not compose: no arm produces an integrated document. The salience monitor, the in-loop judge, memory across interruptions and a judge-gated Review run with a gate that opens add nothing. On a problem with a verifier (online bin packing), the interruption multiplies valid, distinct candidate heuristics three- to fourfold without raising the quality of the best. We report an evaluation protocol for long generation and a controlled characterization of a simple intervention, not a mechanism of creativity.

As LLM-based agents are deployed for longer and higher-stakes tasks, their memory systems continue to have crucial gaps. While existing memory benchmarks focus largely on recall-shaped tasks, we argue an effective memory system must track the evolving state of the world; as facts, constraints, and decisions are revised over a long interaction, answers must reflect the current state and not a superseded one. We define this capability as state tracking and instantiate it in StateMemBench, a benchmark of 234 multi-session scenarios spanning two conversation-length regimes. Its closed-pool grading scores whether an answer reflects the current state, the superseded state, or fails otherwise, separating state-tracking failures from other errors by construction. Our analysis shows that this task is challenging for existing memory systems, retrieval-augmented baselines, and long-context baselines. We then present StateMem, a state-first memory method that explicitly tracks supersession and relational dependencies, and show it improves current-state accuracy over the strongest same-backbone baseline by 1.8x (0.205 -> 0.363) on DeepSeek-V4-Flash and over the strongest memory system by 1.6x (0.149 -> 0.233) on Qwen-3.5-9B, while remaining competitive with the long-context baselines. Finally, we show the same state approach can be applied as a lightweight single-call wrapper over existing memory systems, lifting current-state accuracy by +32 to +67 points on StateMemBench across six memory and retrieval backends. A length- and cost-matched control attributes +15 to +32 of those points to state structure rather than added context.

LLM reasoning is stochastic, and so understanding a model requires grappling with the distribution of reasoning chains that it might produce for a given question, i.e., its uncertainty. Resampling-based analyses characterize this distribution, revealing which steps of a rollout determine how the model arrives at its answer. However, a major limitation of these approaches is that resampling text sequences at every token or sentence in a reasoning chain is very costly. Our work strives to make resampling analysis more computationally efficient, while also shedding light on an important scientific question: what is the right statistical model for explaining uncertainty dynamics in text generation? We show that when resampling many reasoning chains, uncertainty dynamics converge to stable patterns, and noise is largely an artifact of sampling rather than an LLM's sensitivity to each individual token or reasoning step. We develop a statistical model for smoothing noisy low-sample rollout data to better approximate high-sample data, allowing us to significantly cut sampling costs.

Prosodic cues can convey task-relevant information that alters the trajectory and outcome of a task-oriented dialogue, even when the words themselves remain unchanged. Yet existing benchmarks typically evaluate prosodic perception, response appropriateness, and task-oriented dialogue in isolation, making it difficult to test whether prosodic evidence changes downstream decisions. We introduce Hear2Act, a unified evaluation protocol for text and spoken assistants with 480 persona-grounded scenarios, hidden user concerns, and objectively verifiable outcomes. For each scenario, we keep the task and user needs fixed while varying whether the same concern is conveyed explicitly in words or primarily through prosody, and evaluate decisions under transcript, audio, and concern-state access. Using Hear2Act, we evaluate two audio-capable LLMs. Under Prosody-mediated feedback, adding audio to the transcript changes the average optimal-solution rate only from 14.6% to 15.3%. In contrast, when models infer the concern status from audio, represent it in text, and use it for next-action selection, the rate rises to 39.6%, close to 40.7% with the ground-truth state. This contrast, however, largely disappears under Explicit lexical feedback, where the concern is verbally mentioned in the utterance. Together, these results show that prosody matters when lexical evidence is insufficient, and that audio-capable LLMs can recover information from speech but do not reliably carry it into action without an explicit intermediate representation.

Many benchmarks track Large Language Model (LLM) performance on tasks with verifiable answers, but less is known about how LLM performance is evolving on open-ended tasks, where creativity, originality and diversity may matter as much as quality. As LLMs increasingly support human ideation and creative work, understanding trends in LLM performance on open-ended tasks is critical. This paper presents a preliminary analysis of LLM creative outputs spanning three years of model releases, examining model responses to Infinity-Chat100, a real-world collection of open-ended user queries, and the Alternate Uses Task, an established psychometric creativity assessment. Using sentence-embedding similarity, we examine trends in LLM responses to these prompts. Our findings show a statistically significant decrease in model output diversity over time, suggesting that LLM outputs may be converging in creative substance across models. If this trend persists, LLM-driven homogenization may progressively diminish human agency in human-AI co-creative work, demanding careful consideration of LLMs' role in the human creative process.

Stock market analysts and investors face a daily challenge: too much financial news, too little time. Manually reading and synthesizing hundreds of company-specific articles is impractical, yet missing key information can directly affect investment decisions. This project, conducted at George Washington University in Fall 2023, explores whether Large Language Models can automate this process reliably. We built a pipeline that pulls news articles from the News API, company background from Wikipedia, and stock price data from Yahoo Finance for ten major companies (AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, META, TSLA, JPM, NVDA, WMT, DIS). Because LLMs cannot directly process numerical tables, we developed a simple but effective template that converts stock data into natural language narratives. We then tested two summarization approaches (Summarize Chains and Retrieval-Augmented Generation with FAISS) across three open-source models (Falcon-7B-Instruct, DistilBART-CNN-12-6, BART-Large-XSum) for news, and GPT (text-davinci-003) for stock summaries. Falcon-7B with Summarize Chains gave the best results, covering all news events accurately and coherently. RAG, while promising in theory, caused severe repetition in Falcon and hallucinated facts in BART-Large when k was large. Both LLM-based approaches outperformed a simple Lead-3 baseline on ROUGE-1. We also built a Streamlit dashboard for interactive stock visualization. The work was done in Fall 2023, before RAG-based financial tools became widespread, and the failure modes we document, particularly hallucination under RAG in smaller models, remain relevant today.

Large language models often fail to answer questions about a bounded document collection when the source documents are not retrieved at inference time. We study this setting as document knowledge internalization: converting a fixed corpus into usable parametric knowledge for retrieval-free question answering. We propose IAR (Inject, Align, and Recover), a three-stage post-training framework that separates structured document knowledge injection, QA behavior alignment, and general ability recovery. Unlike conventional continued pretraining, Inject converts source documents into continuation, rewrite, and instruction-conditioned reconstruction objectives. Align then adapts the injected model with answer-only QA supervision, while Recover merges the domain-adapted model with the base instruction model to recover general capabilities. Across Common Corpus (CC) and CCI, and across Llama, Phi, Qwen, and SmolLM model families, IAR improves the domain-primary domain-general frontier for retrieval-free document internalization. In the main comparison, IAR improves over Vanilla SFT on all four reported metrics in 7 of 8 dataset-model settings, with average gains of 3.6 percentage points in domain QA accuracy and 12.1 percentage points in mean general performance across IFEval, MMLU, and MSBench. Extended CC baselines show that LoRA and FAPM can win individual general metrics, but among methods that also reach leading or near-leading domain internalization, IAR retains one of the strongest general profiles.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in settings where textual summaries, numerical observations, and external tool outputs may provide conflicting evidence. We study how LLMs arbitrate between such sources when they support opposing decisions. To do so, we introduce a controlled synthetic benchmark in which latent risk trajectories generate both numerical time series and natural language summaries, allowing us to construct conflicts where exactly one evidence source is aligned with the ground-truth label. This design lets us independently manipulate modality, temporal recency, source reliability, and evidence provenance. Across open-weight instruction-tuned models, we find that arbitration behaviour is systematic rather than random: models exhibit distinct text-versus-number preferences, follow temporal recency more consistently than explicit reliability cues, and can over-rely on external forecasts even when they conflict with direct contextual evidence. These results suggest that current LLMs often rely on heuristic arbitration strategies when integrating heterogeneous evidence, highlighting a failure mode for tool-augmented decision systems.

Multimodal sentiment analysis aims to infer affective states by integrating language, visual, and acoustic cues. However, real-world multimodal inputs are often incomplete or corrupted, which can weaken cross-modal complementarity and introduce misleading information into downstream fusion. Existing proxy-based methods for incomplete MSA commonly rely on one-shot proxy construction to compensate for degraded language information, but the generated proxy may be coarse or unreliable at initialization. Prematurely injecting such a proxy into multimodal reasoning can propagate initial errors and compromise sentiment prediction. To address this limitation, we propose an iterative proxy correction framework for robust incomplete MSA. Our method constructs a language-oriented proxy from non-language modalities and progressively refines it under multimodal context through gated residual correction. The corrected proxy is then adaptively fused with the observed language representation according to an estimated language reliability score, allowing the model to balance proxy-based compensation and trustworthy linguistic evidence. In addition, we introduce a stage-wise latent correction objective that uses the complete language representation as a training-time semantic anchor to stabilize the proxy refinement trajectory. Extensive experiments on MOSI, MOSEI, and SIMS under diverse missing-modality settings demonstrate that the proposed framework consistently outperforms competitive baselines and achieves robust sentiment prediction under incomplete inputs.

Customer-service LLM agents must follow organizational policy when acting on a user's behalf. Compliance failures arise from either forbidden actions, such as granting an ineligible change, or omitted procedural requirements, such as identification or confirmation. Runtime safeguards can intervene on risky actions, but action-local checks do not guide an agent through a multi-step procedure. Workflow-following systems support prescribed process execution, but primarily target workflow completion rather than safeguarding agent behavior. PolicyGuide instead compiles each domain policy into a workflow graph and invokes a proactive verifier at user-turn boundaries. From persisted graph state, the verifier reconciles open requests and returns step-specific remediation along a policy-compliant path. Across the $τ^2$-bench airline, retail, and telecom domains with a GPT-5.4 agent and verifier, PolicyGuide raises mean $\mathrm{Pass}^4$ from $0.42$ to $0.62$, with the largest gain on telecom ($0.19$ to $0.61$), the most workflow-structured domain. The same workflows transfer to Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Gemini 2.5 Pro agents. Complementary evaluations find the lowest observed attack-success rate under adversarial users and the strongest procedural compliance in an author-designed workflow-level validation.

Credit assignment is challenging in long-horizon agentic reinforcement learning, where supervision often comes only from final rewards. Existing methods refine trajectory-level signals into step-level credits through step grouping or graph-based advantage estimation, but can overlook meaningful intermediate milestones. We propose MileGPO (Milestone Inference with Local Evidence for Graph-Based Policy Optimization), which derives process-level credit from grouped on-policy rollouts through three designs. Milestone Discovery identifies candidate milestones on successful rollouts and recurring traps on failed ones. Reliability-Calibrated Shaping (RCS) weights these candidates by outcome-based confidence, strengthening reliable milestones and traps while down-weighting uncertain ones. Progress-Contrastive Calibration (PCC) further tests whether a candidate reflects local progress and whether its incoming ansition outperforms observed alternatives from the same state.MileGPO requires neither auxiliary models nor additional environment interaction. Experiments on ALFWorld and WebShop show state-of-the-art performance and a small in-distribution to out-of-distribution gap on ALFWorld. Ablations and credit diagnostics indicate that reliability weighting, local progress, and same-state branch evidence complement milestone discovery and resolve ambiguous intermediate credit.

LLM evaluation pipelines often have many candidate judges: general LLM-as-a-judge prompts, reward models, safety classifiers, confidence variants, and task-specific verifiers. The deployment question is not only which judge is best, but which judges should be called, on which examples, and when panel construction should stop. We formulate judge-panel design as a role-conditioned allocation problem. From a small labeled audit set, declared slices, and judge costs, the method estimates target-relative roles: copies add no conditional information, complements improve the global panel, and specialists help only on slices. These roles induce a policy: drop copies, add complements globally, route specialists conditionally, and stop when validation gain falls below a threshold. Across reasoning, code, safety, preference, reward-model, summarization, and math audits, the method is compared with single judges, flat panels, matched diversity heuristics, full-call stacking, reliability juries, and frugal cascades. The result is a regime map for judge calls: route specialists on deployable slices, stop in saturated verifier regimes, keep broad ensembles when their risk benefit is worth the cost, and ignore conditional copies. The output is a reusable, auditable call plan for the next evaluation batch.

Inference-time selection methods, such as Best-of-N, improve generation by sampling a pool of candidates and selecting the top-ranked completion according to a reward model. Distillation seeks to amortize this procedure into a single policy by replacing raw rewards with in-pool ranks and learning a policy that upweights higher-ranked completions. However, existing rank-based policies typically use smooth full-support reweighting, so low-ranked completions receive less mass but remain in the target support. Although a sharper reweighting reduces lower-tail mass, it also increases reliance on brittle ranking at the top made by a single reward model. We propose TUP: a Truncate-bad, Upweight-good Policy that removes low-ranked completions from the support and reweights only the retained upper tail with a tunable sharpness. TUP admits a closed-form, prompt-independent normalization and can be trained fully offline via binary cross-entropy, using shifted-truncated win-rates as soft labels and distilled-to-reference log-likelihood ratios as logits. Theoretically, under certain assumptions, we show that for any unknown oracle reward, the best monotone rank-reweighting can be matched by a lower-tail truncation rule, providing formal support for removing the lower tail rather than merely downweighting it. Empirically, we show that TUP is competitive with strong offline alignment baselines.

Streaming video understanding requires models to causally update state as video arrives and organize growing history into semantic units that can evolve, persist, and be recalled under bounded computation and memory. This challenge is pronounced in live soccer commentary, where a system must describe completed events, summarize recent play, recall earlier events, or remain silent using only information available before each utterance. We present StreamSoccer, an event-driven system that uses event memory as its intermediate representation. A fixed-budget active memory integrates the stream; completed event states are retained locally and consolidated into retrievable historical records. A unified generator uses current, recent, and historical context to produce three commentary modes, while a rule-assisted scheduler selects a mode or silence. Unlike streaming video-language models organized around frames, visual tokens, or caches, and soccer-commentary methods based on predefined clips or output timestamps, StreamSoccer explicitly models event lifecycles. We construct a three-track streaming soccer commentary dataset and a layered evaluation protocol. At common reference anchors, StreamSoccer obtains CIDEr scores of 38.62, 23.96, and 17.39 for current-event, recent-window, and historical-memory commentary, ranking first on the current-event and historical-memory tracks and second on recent-window. Controlled ablations show that local completed events improve all tracks and that the full system performs best on all three. Across 174 raw-video runs on 58 matches, per-minute RTF p95 ranges from 0.10 to 0.22 without sustained growth with match history. These results indicate that event memory supports streaming soccer commentary across temporal scopes while controlling long-history computation.

Large language models (LLMs) offer a scalable approach to social simulation, but their credibility depends on how agents are constructed. Existing methods can partially reproduce population-level patterns, yet often fail to capture human-like diversity. Our analysis shows that static-profile agents exhibit stronger demographic separation and within-group compression than humans, a pattern consistent with identity essentialism: demographic labels can encourage models to treat group-average tendencies as individual traits, homogenizing responses within groups. We argue that this limitation arises from two related factors: sparse, static agent representations and the limited ability of prompt-only memory to persistently integrate experience. Inspired by complementary memory systems, we propose LifeMem, a longitudinal memory framework that combines structured life-event retrieval with agent-specific parametric memory for experience integration. Experiments on Add Health and Understanding Society with three LLMs show that LifeMem improves alignment with human data in terms of response distributions, overall and within-group diversity, and patterns of within-person response change across life stages. These findings highlight the value of longitudinal life-event memory for constructing more faithful and dynamically evolving social agents.

Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has emerged as an effective approach for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. However, its adaptation to multimodal settings remains unexplored. Through representational analysis, we identify a key limitation in multimodal preference optimization, which we term visual insensitivity: models often fail to distinguish between images and those with critical visual context removed. Our theoretical analysis further uncovers two manifestations of this problem, namely Across-Image Insensitivity and Within-Image Insensitivity. To address these challenges, we propose Perception-Enhanced Alignment DPO (PEA-DPO), a framework for multimodal LLMs alignment, which explicitly leverages visual preference signals to overcome visual insensitivity. We further provide a theoretical analysis demonstrating that PEA-DPO provably mitigates both failure modes. Empirical results demonstrate that PEA-DPO enhances sensitivity to visual context while preserving the language modeling capacity of the base model. Evaluations across three hallucination benchmarks using MLLMs of varying scales show that PEA-DPO effectively mitigates visual insensitivity, achieves stronger multimodal alignment, and substantially reduces hallucinations.

Persistent memory can personalize an LLM agent, but an incorrect durable update can silently distort future behavior. We study the memory-clarification boundary: whether interaction-derived information should be persisted, used only in the current context, re-verified, or clarified with the user. MCB contains 140 primary scenarios, split into 70 development and 70 held-out items, plus a separate 70-item contrast set. It evaluates both action labels and structured tool-call selection. Two non-authors independently label the 70 held-out primary and 70 contrast items (97.1% agreement, Cohen's kappa = 0.962); a blind third resolves four disagreements, replacing eight author labels by non-author majority. Across Claude and Qwen, models verify changing facts more reliably than they ask users to resolve ambiguity. Bare Qwen asks on 0/12 clarification items while verifying 12/18 freshness items. Few-shot prompting raises accuracy from 0.557 to 0.771 (paired delta = +0.214, Holm-adjusted exact McNemar p_H = 0.002), yet clarification recall remains 0.333. The policy prompt reduces erroneous persistence from 0.243 to 0.100 (p_H = 0.038), although its accuracy gain is not significant. Label-tool agreement is 57% for each Claude model and 23% for Qwen; Qwen accuracy falls from 0.557 to 0.343 (p_H = 0.047). Memory evaluation must test both stated decisions and tool-call choices.

This paper addresses the issue of the significant labor required to test interview dialogue systems. While interview dialogue systems are expected to be useful in various scenarios, like other dialogue systems, testing them with human users requires significant effort and cost. Therefore, testing with user simulators can be beneficial. Since most conventional user simulators have been primarily designed for training task-oriented dialogue systems, little attention has been paid to the personas of the simulated users. During development, testing interview dialogue systems requires simulating a wide range of user behaviors, but manually creating a large number of personas is labor-intensive. We propose a method that automatically generates personas for user simulators using a large language model. Furthermore, by assigning personality traits related to communication styles when generating personas, we aim to increase the diversity of communication styles in the user simulator. Experimental results show that the proposed method enables the user simulator to generate utterances with greater variation.

Lexical semantic change (LSC) is commonly modelled through vector-space representations, but these approaches often provide limited insight into which aspects of usage are changing. Diachronic corpus research instead examines interpretable dimensions such as syntactic behaviour, morphology, and constructional patterns, but typically through separate analytical workflows. We present SynFlow, an open-source toolkit for multidimensional diachronic analysis of linguistic usage. SynFlow converts linguistic observations into period-specific distributions and applies a shared workflow across dependency-based co-occurrences, morphological features, constructional configurations, and externally derived representations such as Frame Semantics. It supports different distance measures, together with value-level decomposition, statistical testing, and incremental clustering of lexical fillers. We demonstrate SynFlow through a qualitative case study of the German adjective viral, showing how a single semantic development is reflected across syntactic, lexical, constructional, and morphological dimensions. We further report previously published results on SemEval-2020 Task 1 to situate the performance of these representations relative to existing lexical semantic change detection systems.

Offline reinforcement learning improves robotic policies using previously collected data without further environment interaction. Yet prevalent diffusion- and flow-matching robot policies lack tractable likelihoods, limiting their use in likelihood-based offline RL post-training. AR-NFs offer both expressive action modeling and exact likelihood evaluation, but their sequential sampling incurs substantial sampling overhead during policy optimization and deployment. We present RoMAN-Flow (Robotic Manipulation with Autoregressive Normalizing Flows), an offline reinforcement learning framework that makes AR-NF policies practical for robotic manipulation by addressing this sampling bottleneck in both stages. During policy optimization, RoMAN-Flow employs a sampling-free, advantage-weighted likelihood objective that assigns higher likelihood to high-advantage actions from the offline dataset without sampling from the autoregressive policy. For efficient deployment, it distills the optimized autoregressive policy into a one-step action generator, enabling low-latency action prediction. Experiments across multiple simulated manipulation benchmarks and real-world robotic platforms demonstrate that RoMAN-Flow achieves competitive policy performance while substantially reducing inference latency.

Compositional Zero-Shot Learning (CZSL) aims to recognize unseen attribute-object compositions by leveraging knowledge of primitive concepts learned from seen compositions. Although recent works achieve impressive performance in CZSL by leveraging large vision-language models, they primarily rely on discriminative representations that may not explicitly preserve the structured relationships between primitive concepts and their compositions. Motivated by the recent success of diffusion-based classifiers and their competitive performance relative to discriminative models, we investigate whether intermediate diffusion representations can provide complementary cues for CZSL. To this end, we propose DIFFCZSL, a diffusion-augmented framework that injects generative priors from pre-trained diffusion models into CLIP-based CZSL pipelines. We extract intermediate diffusion representations and project them into the CLIP embedding space to provide auxiliary supervision on both image and text modalities. Through contrastive alignment between CLIP embeddings and diffusion features during training, our method encourages the embedding geometry toward richer composition-aware semantics, while introducing no additional cost at inference time. Extensive experiments on three public CZSL benchmarks demonstrate consistent improvements over strong CLIP-based baselines under both closed-world and open-world settings. Our results highlight the complementary strengths of generative diffusion representations and discriminative vision-language models for compositional generalization.

Conventional convolutional kernels are typically defined on fixed discrete grids, limiting their ability to accommodate heterogeneous local structures. Existing adaptive operators improve flexibility but often couple geometric scale variation with content-dependent filtering, while incurring high computational cost from per-location kernel generation. To decouple geometric scale adaptation from content-dependent filtering while avoiding expensive per-location kernel generation, we propose Continuous Relative-scale KAN (Core-KAN), a relative-scale-conditioned continuous convolution operator. Core-KAN maps input features into a compact latent basis space and uses a lightweight scale controller to predict local scales relative to an exponential moving average reference. A KAN-based generator represents depth-wise kernel bases as continuous coordinate functions, allowing the operator to synthesize spatial filters at arbitrary resolutions rather than being confined to a fixed lattice. Instead of synthesizing independent kernels at every location, it constructs a compact bank of scale-conditioned kernel responses and interpolates them according to the predicted local scale map. An independent mixing controller further combines the interpolated basis responses based on local content, explicitly decoupling geometric scale adaptation from content-dependent filtering. Together with lightweight pointwise projections, this design forms a low-rank dynamic convolution that scales efficiently with kernel size and integrates readily into hierarchical vision backbones. Experiments across three representative vision tasks show Core-KAN consistently outperforms strong convolutional and dynamic-kernel baselines with only marginal parameter and computational overhead, offering an efficient, general framework for continuous, scale-adaptive convolution.

Existing optimal transport (OT) models primarily seek an OT map or plan between distributions by minimizing a prescribed transport cost or distortion. However, minimizing transport cost or distortion alone may fail to identify a geometrically meaningful transformation between the two distributions. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a novel coupled OT framework that leverages a small number of annotated landmarks to guide the recovery of an underlying deformation governing the distribution transformation. The coupled OT framework integrates the optimization of the transport plan and the deformation field into a unified model, where the landmark-guided deformation field and the cost-driven transport plan are coupled through a mutual-consistency constraint. As a result, the deformation is jointly determined by the annotated landmarks and cost-driven distribution matching. The proposed framework provides a principled connection between landmark-based registration and transport-based distribution matching, enabling the recovery of transport maps from sparse geometric supervision. We establish the well-definedness of the proposed model in a general variational setting and develop a finite-element-based numerical algorithm for computation whose convergence properties are systematically analyzed. The practical effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified in shape matching.

Latent reasoning has advanced multimodal reasoning through a two-stage training paradigm: (1) a helper image is encoded into latent tokens to teach visual chain-of-thought during a supervised fine-tuning (SFT) stage, and (2) these latent tokens are further refined with reward feedback during a reinforcement learning (RL) stage. In this paper, we identify two key limitations of this framework, one in each stage. First, the SFT stage typically relies on an off-the-shelf vision encoder to encode the helper image, yielding suboptimal latent representations that may not be well aligned with the downstream reasoning task. Second, existing RL methods treat the latent component only through deterministic regularization, which constrains policy drift but does not create alternative latent trajectories for exploration. To address these limitations, we propose Scaffolding Minds. Our approach learns a dedicated scaffolding encoder that provides an optimized target in latent space, and learns both the mean and variance of the RL sampler. We further show that these two improvements are complementary, together yielding substantial gains over strong baselines. Empirically, our method improves over the strongest latent-reasoning baseline by +9.5% on FrozenLake spatial planning, with the gain widening to +19% at 32x32 grid map, and by +5.2% on average across nine visual-centric reasoning benchmarks.

Pretrained Vision-Language-Action models provide a strong foundation for robot learning, but sequentially adapting them to diverse skills can perturb the representations and velocity mappings used by previous skills, leading to catastrophic forgetting. Architecture-based approaches improve retention by isolating skills but lead to increased inference footprint. Recent subspace-constrained methods restrict parameter updates in an orthogonal subspace to minimize interference but impose a unified constraint on the entire model. We analyze the distinct roles of internal VLA components and identify two VLA-specific challenges. First, the VLM maintains broad semantic representations, making it vulnerable to capacity exhaustion, whereas the ActionHead refines semantics into localized velocity patterns that are highly sensitive to perturbations. Second, the final velocity decoder serves as a readout layer. Freezing it forms an output-stage expressivity bottleneck, while updating it risks overwriting previous velocity mappings. To this end, we propose OrthoSkillVLA, a parameter-efficient framework for continual skill learning in pretrained VLA models without demonstration replay. Given the representation heterogeneity, we impose separate subspace constraints on the VLM and ActionHead, preserving reusable semantic capacity while protecting localized velocity patterns. For the output layer, we introduce a lightweight feature-aware MoE decoder, where each skill is allocated a compact expert and a training-free router selects the expert according to feature-space affinity. Extensive simulated and real-world evaluations, together with ablations, demonstrate that OrthoSkillVLA better preserves prior skills while acquiring new ones.

Recent studies suggest that video generation models can exhibit certain forms of zero-shot visual reasoning through generated frames. Yet reliable evaluation remains challenging: benchmarks should adopt inputs aligned with the visual priors of current video models, require valid evolving processes rather than only plausible final states, and calibrate task difficulty to remain challenging yet partly feasible. To this end, we introduce VGI-bench, containing 27 tasks and 810 instances, organized by a two-level taxonomy of task domains and skill tags for fine-grained evaluation of visual reasoning capabilities of video generation models. Our evaluations show that current generative systems can solve a subset of visually grounded reasoning tasks, but remain far from reliable, with even the strongest model, Seedance~2.0, achieving only 51.0% under our evaluation criteria. Our analysis further explore the output failure modes, input condition sensitivity, performance transfer boundary from synthetic fine-tuning, and internal denoising perspective revealing limited self-correction, where later steps mainly refine early hypotheses rather than correct reasoning errors. We hope VGI-bench will help stimulate the development of next-generation video generation models. We will release our code and data.

Learning-based global point cloud registration has achieved remarkable progress, yet its reliance on geometric representations makes existing methods sensitive to variations in point density, scan pattern, viewpoint, and sensor characteristics. We propose CVSD-Reg, a robust global LiDAR registration framework that distills visual semantic priors from a vision foundation model into LiDAR representations. In Stage 1, a Point Transformer V3 student learns from a frozen DINOv2 teacher through contrastive distillation and spherical-manifold alignment, which preserves the hyperspherical geometry of the teacher embedding space. Self-supervised InfoNCE consistency and soft $\mathrm{SE}(3)$ invariance further encourage viewpoint-robust descriptors. In Stage 2, the distilled representation is adapted to registration through correspondence learning, density-aware point-dropout augmentation, and end-to-end pose optimization. With a single checkpoint, CVSD-Reg generalizes to both single-sensor and zero-shot cross-sensor scenarios without sensor-specific adaptation and remains entirely camera-free at inference. On KITTI, nuScenes, and HeLiPR, CVSD-Reg achieves strict success rate (SR@0.5\,m/$1^\circ$) of 97.7$\%$, 99.0$\%$, and 99.3$\%$, respectively, including 97.3$\%$ on sparse 16-beam Velodyne scans. It outperforms state-of-the-art geometric registration methods by up to 44.0 percentage points without requiring camera inputs or post-hoc ICP refinement.

Split-conformal prediction provides marginal coverage under exchangeability and is increasingly used as an abstention layer for zero-shot vision-language models (VLMs). We audit this practice under deployment shift for CLIP, OpenCLIP, and SigLIP across ImageNet and non-ImageNet settings. Marginal coverage can remain relatively high while class-conditional tail coverage collapses: on ImageNet-Sketch, worst-class coverage falls to $\approx 0$ and 10-12% of classes lie below a finite-sample null floor, despite marginal coverage of about 0.86. The failure is aligned with target-domain class accuracy but is not predicted by the source-domain diagnostics we test. Source-side Mondrian calibration improves the in-distribution tail but does not transfer, while clustered conformal and Conf-OT improve marginal or average metrics without recovering the worst-class tail. Target-side class calibration substantially lifts the tail, but requires labels for every class and remains set-size-intensive. We further identify a 2-3$\times$ cross-family efficiency gap and show that native SigLIP sigmoid scores remove APS's probability-mass interpretation. The findings persist across the tested model scale, pretraining corpus, prompt, miscoverage level $α$, and shifted non-ImageNet settings. Marginal conformal coverage should therefore be treated as an average reliability statistic, not as a safety guarantee for the class tail.

Map matching is a key technology connecting positioning data with high precision road networks, but it faces challenges in noise robustness, cross regional transfer, and interpretability. To addr ess the limitations of existing methods in local global fusion, dynamic road network adaptation, and reliance on black box mod els, this paper proposes SceneGTMM, a transferable GNN Transformer dual graph interaction map matching framework based on a conformal mapping based scene relative strategy. 1) Conformal mapping based scene relative strategy: constructs trajectory centric local coordinate systems to reduce dependence on the training road network, supporting cross regional transfer and dynamic road network updates; 2) GNN Transformer dual graph interaction architecture: a GNN modeled road graph captures local topological constraints, while a Transformer modeled trajectory graph captures global temporal dependencies, and cross graph attention achieves noise suppression and semantic alignment; 3) CRF enhanced structured prediction: combines the global context of the Transformer with the topological transition constraints of CRF to improve path connectivity and robustness. Experiments show that SceneGTM achieves over 80% accuracy on multi source trajectories with positioning errors of 16 50 meters, representing a 5.3% improvement over HMM. In cross city transfer scenarios, it outperforms MTrajRec, GraphMM, and TMM, and enhances interpretability through attention and relative coordinate visualization. This study provides a new paradigm for high precision, transferable map matching for real time traffic perception and autonomous driving path planning.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation is used for Islamic question answering, but most systems are evaluated end-to-end, making retrieval failures difficult to isolate from generation failures. We study answer-bearing retrieval for Arabic fiqh, where a passage is relevant only if it states the ruling required by the question. We build a retrieval test collection for Arabic fiqh and use it to evaluate dense, lexical, hybrid, fine-tuned, and madhhab-aware retrieval strategies. The best retriever achieves 0.524 MRR@5, while fine-tuning improves performance to 0.553. Hybrid retrieval provides limited gains for strong models, whereas madhhab-aware filtering more than doubles MRR@5 on school-specific questions. We further present an error analysis showing that the main challenge is distinguishing answer-bearing passages from topically similar passages that do not contain the requested ruling.

Autonomous conversational agents and generative-AI features are being added to online dating platforms faster than public evidence about user attitudes can accumulate, and the scarcest evidence concerns the receiving side: how people react when the profiles, messages, or conversation partners they encounter are machine-generated. We release two anonymized survey datasets collected from active users of Fledge.Love, a dating platform serving an international user base. The first (N = 2,617; Russian and English forms) measures receptivity to autonomous conversational agents with a seven-item battery that separates the principal role (deploying one's own agent) from the counterpart role (encountering someone else's), plus six ordinal covariates and two auxiliary items. The second (N = 2,894) measures interest in three passive generative-AI features. The release includes model-derived scores for 2,499 complete cases, a bilingual codebook, a documented anonymization pipeline with a k-anonymity audit, executable analysis notebooks, and canonical outputs, supporting reuse in human-AI communication, recommender-systems, and cross-cultural technology-acceptance research.

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves language-model responses by grounding generation in external passages, which comes with overhead: retrieved context lengthens the prompt, increasing prefill work, KV-cache footprint, memory traffic, latency, and energy. Context compression offers a natural remedy by pruning retrieved text before generation. However, state-of-the-art context-compression methods are typically used with a fixed compression budget, or with the rate selected offline and then applied at inference time. This static view ignores both workload variation and the live state of the edge device. On an edge SoC, compression is not free: the compressor itself runs on the same SoC and consumes latency and energy that can offset any generation savings. This paper proposes a vision for telemetry-informed adaptive compression in edge RAG, grounded in experimental evidence. We characterize the compression tradeoff on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor using Llama and Qwen generators, Natural Questions and HotpotQA datasets, and LLMLingua-2 compression. Our measurements show that generation dominates the RAG budget for larger models, reaching roughly 90% of per-query latency and 91% of GPU energy for 7B-8B generators. Exploring the impact of the compression rate reveals an adaptive operating region: mild compression can miss energy opportunities, and overly aggressive compression can hurt inference quality. Intermediate compression can reduce GPU energy by up to 53.2%, and SoC energy by up to 48.2%, with negligible quality loss. We argue for runtime policies that dynamically manage compression, guided by workload features and edge telemetry.

Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly require selective removal of harmful or sensitive knowledge, called unlearning, yet existing methods and benchmarks fail to evaluate this capability completely. Current approaches rely on disjoint forget and retain sets composed of independent facts, and measure success using simple and direct factual recall. This framing fails to capture a key requirement of unlearning, namely the ability to eliminate harmful behaviors while preserving benign and beneficial knowledge. We argue that effective unlearning must operate at the level of concepts, ensuring complete removal of unsafe applications while maintaining their correct and useful usage, thereby achieving conceptually meaningful and complete unlearning. To better evaluate unlearning techniques from such a practical viewpoint, we introduce the notion of dual-use concepts: concepts that can be used in both harmful and benign contexts. Building on these concepts, we construct a benchmark called ConceptGuard where forget and retain sets are explicitly complementary in concept usage. Our benchmark uniquely enables unlearning to be explored and gauged at the level of concepts, instead of sparse facts, and evaluation is intent-sensitive with the goal of maximizing contextual separation to promote safer behavior. We demonstrate that current unlearning techniques perform poorly under this setting, showing weak contextual separation alongside poor performance in ROUGE and concept-level metrics. Our results reveal strong forgetting-utility trade-offs, limited gains in contextual sensitivity, and poor consistency in concept-level control across methods, and provide ideas for unlearning approaches that better align with real-world safety requirements. Our dataset is publicly available.

Personalized interpretation of medical reports has emerged as an increasingly important need among patients. Addressing this need requires both evidence-grounded medical factuality and context-dependent patient communication, yet existing medical vision-language tasks do not adequately capture these dual requirements. To bridge this gap, we introduce Patient-oriented Medical Report Interpretation (PMRI), a novel open-ended multimodal generation task that requires models to explain medical reports in accurate and accessible language based on a user's query and dialogue history. These two objectives differ fundamentally in their verifiability, yet remain tightly coupled, making them difficult to optimize jointly under conventional supervised fine-tuning and holistic reinforcement learning paradigms. To address this challenge, we propose G-CARL, a grounded, checklist-aligned reinforcement learning framework that combines multi-source retrieval for atomic claim verification with context-aware, instance-specific weighted checklists for response coverage, providing structured supervision for factuality, user-demand satisfaction, and expression quality without constraining response diversity. We further construct MMedReport, a real-world PMRI benchmark, along with a clinician-designed three-dimensional evaluation protocol. Extensive experiments demonstrate that G-CARL consistently outperforms existing post-training baselines in overall quality, claim-level precision, and checklist recall. Pairwise preference evaluation by clinicians further confirms that G-CARL produces interpretations that are more accurate and better aligned with patient needs.

Travel behavior research increasingly combines digital data collection with predictive modeling, yet these stages are often developed and evaluated separately. This study proposes a three-agent workflow integrating conversational data collection, structured data processing, and behavioral prediction. A chatbot-administered, image-augmented stated-preference survey collected mode choices from student commuters across five predefined weather scenarios, yielding 454 respondent-scenario observations. Weather-related associations were analyzed using a multinomial logit model, while logistic regression and random forest provided machine-learning benchmarks. Nine locally deployed large language models (LLMs), ranging from 2 to 35 billion parameters, were evaluated across four zero-shot prompt-and-context conditions and extended through persona, few-shot, and vision-based configurations. Random forest achieved 69.6% five-class accuracy, while the best text-only zero-shot LLM reached 69.9% without task-specific fitting. Habitual travel information produced the most consistent gains, Expert framing generally outperformed Role-Play, and persona information was most useful when habitual travel information was unavailable. Few-shot prompting improved prediction for several models, with gains stabilizing after a small number of examples. Using the same weather images shown to respondents, the best vision-based configuration reached 71.5% five-class accuracy, indicating that visual context may provide additional predictive information for selected models. Overall, the study shows how conversational surveys, structured data processing, conventional behavioral modeling, machine learning, and multimodal LLM prediction can be coordinated within an auditable multi-agent workflow.

Naturalistic computer-use traces, passively recorded screenshots and mouse or keyboard actions, are a valuable resource for deriving symbolic, auditable, and reusable models of how everyday work is done. Such models matter as computer-use agents enter real work, where agents need to learn how tasks are actually performed, and organizations need to audit and reuse that knowledge. However, inducing such task models is challenging, as activity is observed only as low-level events and real-world work is multi-threaded with interleaved goals. Existing methods assume a given task or a single workflow, and produce step-level summaries rather than structured task models. We introduce Task Model Induction (TMI), which (i) discovers the latent tasks in an unconstrained trace, disentangling concurrent activity, and (ii) for each latent task, induces a task model pairing a hierarchical objective model of recursive goal decomposition with a procedure model of the control flow that organized the execution. Intrinsically, on controlled human and agent trajectories, TMI recovers interleaved tasks with 0.974 agreement against ground-truth groupings and reconstructs 74.9% of the observed execution steps, far more than the strongest workflow induction baseline. Extrinsically, skills derived from TMI's task models improve held-out task accuracy by 30.0% over the strongest baseline.

Recursive self-improvement (RSI) asks whether an AI system can improve the process that produces AI systems, so that the next system inherits the improvement. That process is the training algorithm: a better objective or update rule improves the compute\mbox{-}capability exchange rate for every subsequent run, including the one that produces the next agent. Whether RSI is feasible therefore turns on whether an agent can design training algorithms. No benchmark isolates that ability: existing suites are won by collecting data or by tuning hyperparameters, and none tells a change to how a run is executed apart from a change to how the model learns. We present AI4AI\mbox{-}Bench, 10 frozen research repositories spanning 10 training algorithm families. In each task, an agent has 4 hours on one B300 to rewrite the training algorithm; its code is then rerun from scratch for up to 12 hours and scored by a fixed evaluator hidden from the agent, against the repository's original algorithm under the same procedure. Because the 10 metrics are incommensurable, every task is mapped onto one scale on which $0$ is an uninformative model, $0.1$ is the algorithm the repository ships, and $1.0$ is the task optimum. Across 29 configurations of 6 systems on all 10 tasks the mean score is $0.166$, and the best system reaches $0.250$: even the strongest closes under a fifth of the distance between the algorithm that was already there and the optimum. The submissions show where that distance went: most never change how the model learns at all, and the minority that do average $0.226$ against $0.126$ for the rest. More reasoning effort mostly buys the willingness to go there, taking that minority from $8\%$ of submissions to $64\%$ and the mean score from $0.094$ to $0.196$. We release the task suite, the evaluators and every scored submission, so that the measurement can be repeated as these systems change.

Whether a language model has improved itself is increasingly judged not by mean accuracy but by which individual problems it gains and loses. Tracking these transitions means differencing two noisy estimates, leaving them vulnerable to measurement artifacts. Auditing three rounds of rank-$32$ LoRA self-training on Qwen3-8B against a frozen control pushed through the identical pipeline, we identify seven measurement failures, each of which inverts a reported finding when its control is absent. Several are standard practice. A ledger built on a single greedy decode manufactures capability changes on an untrained model, largely an artifact of inference batching; the expansion statistic separating acquisition from sharpening assigns that same model a rate of $0.280$. The natural threshold repair does not survive replication: estimated across the frozen comparisons such a design already contains, its null stays non-zero. We replace it with a per-problem exact test against a pooled baseline under false-discovery-rate control, which detects nothing on any held-out replicate and is unchanged under the multiple-testing rule, error rate and pool size. Applied to a ladder of arms matched in stream, volume and evaluation, the audit finds that external distillation improves problems the base model rarely reaches while three forms of self-training do not; a regression rejects this asymmetry as a by-product of distillation's larger overall gain ($p < 10^{-8}$). On the far smaller set of problems the base model never reaches, the evidence is inconclusive, while self-training corrupts problems solved at baseline at rates well above the measured floor. Transition-level auditing therefore requires a separately measured null for every statistic it reports: nulls that cost no new experiments, built from baseline replicates a multi-arm study already owns, though not from as few as most possess.

Legal work, with its heavy reliance on processing large amounts of text, is often considered one of the domains most exposed to the use of LLMs. Contract ``scrubbing,'' the final review of transactional agreements for errors and inconsistencies, is a particularly suitable task for automation, because it is routine, painstaking work requiring detailed attention to long documents. Scrubbing also seems to align naturally with the general capabilities expected of frontier LLMs around long-context reasoning, consistency checking, and named entity recognition (NER). Despite the economic value and potential for automation, no formal evaluations of LLMs performing contract scrubbing have been conducted. We introduce ContractScrub, the first benchmark designed to evaluate contract scrubbing capabilities, comprising contracts hand-crafted by experienced lawyers over diverse error categories such as misuse of defined terms, incorrect references, and inconsistent language. Frontier models perform surprisingly poorly with only one model reaching 0.75 macro average recall despite strong performance on seemingly related general benchmarks, demonstrating the practical limits of current models and the importance of narrowly targeted, domain-specific benchmarks for measuring real-world impact.

Memory has become a key component of large language models, enabling them to retain information and learn from long-term interactions. However, existing memory benchmarks mainly evaluate whether information is correctly extracted, stored, and retrieved, while largely overlooking how retrieved memories reshape model reasoning and affect performance on the current task. We identify memory-induced cognitive traps: even faithfully recorded and semantically relevant memories can distort model reasoning or beliefs and degrade current task performance. To systematically evaluate these failure modes, we introduce MemTrapBench, which covers two forms of cognitive traps: Reasoning Fixation and Belief Distortion. Experiments across two model families and five representative memory frameworks show that MemTrapBench is challenging: all evaluated memory strategies underperform the no-memory setting, with even the strongest methods suffering drops of more than 10%. To mitigate these cognitive traps, we propose AdaptiveMem, a simple yet effective inference-time method that instructs LLMs to avoid memory traps. AdaptiveMem mitigates cognitive traps on MemTrapBench while preserving or improving performance on standard memory benchmarks across diverse memory frameworks.

Large language models (LLMs) have shown growing potential for automated theoretical computer science (TCS) research, yet existing benchmarks remain far from realistic research settings. We introduce \ourbenchmark, an expert-validated benchmark for evaluating LLMs on frontier, end-to-end TCS research. \ourbenchmark contains $175$ instances drawn from papers accepted to STOC, FOCS, SODA, and COLT in 2025-2026, preserving paper-specific definitions, assumptions, and proof dependencies, with expert-verified Lean formalizations and proofs. Evaluations of leading LLMs reveal that current models remain far from reliably completing the full research pipeline. In particular, autoformalization is the sharpest bottleneck: the best model achieves only $11.5$ on translating natural-language claims into formal theorem statements, compared with $28.6$ Pass@8 when proving human-provided formal statements. Building on \ourbenchmark, we further develop an automated TCS research framework that generates, formalizes, filters, and proves new claims. Of $64$ generated claims, only $6$ ultimately pass expert evaluation and proof verification, indicating that beyond formalization, limited research taste remains another major barrier to autonomous TCS research.

Autonomous vehicles require robust perception and decision-making capabilities to operate in diverse and unseen scenarios. While reinforcement learning and rule-based methods can provide effective control and safety mechanisms, their performance may degrade in situations requiring contextual reasoning. Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in understanding multimodal information and generating contextual reasoning, however, their use for direct vehicle control can introduce latency and hallucination risks. To address these limitations, a hybrid framework is proposed. This system uses an orchestrator to coordinate PPO-trained reinforcement learning and PID control, with LLM common-sense reasoning applied throughout the framework. LLM reasoning is further employed iteratively to refine the RL reward function for dynamic driving environments. The proposed framework is evaluated in highly randomized CARLA scenarios under diverse environmental and traffic conditions. The results demonstrate the potential of integrating LLM-based reasoning with conventional autonomous driving methods while retaining structured control and safety mechanism.

We introduce OenoBench, a wine-domain knowledge benchmark of 3,266 multiple-choice questions across six pillars (regions, grape varieties, viticulture, winemaking, producers, business) and four difficulty tiers. The corpus is built from 38,104 atomic, source-anchored facts extracted by 35 provenance-verified scrapers from government registries (INAO, TTB, OIV), peer-reviewed journals, and Wikipedia/Wikidata. Our methodological contribution is an LLM-driven pipeline in which language models reformat verified facts and audit the result, but never serve as the source of truth: every claim traces to a URL, every question is generated by one of five strategies across five generator families, and every question is scored by a nine-agent audit calibrated against a human gold sheet via Cohen's $κ$. Evaluating sixteen frontier configurations, we find: (i) overall accuracy spans 53%-84%, led by o3 at 83.6%; (ii) reasoning-mode lift concentrates in DeepSeek R1 (+6.8pp) and is absent in Claude Opus and Gemini Pro; (iii) Anthropic shows +9pp self preference on its own questions while Google shows -8pp inverse preference; (iv) frontier open-weight models share the cost-vs-accuracy Pareto frontier with proprietary reasoning models; and (v) every config gains around 33pp on closed-book solvable items, revealing a parametric-recall ceiling that only the contextual slice avoids. We release corpus, audit findings, human-review app, and construction code under CC-BY-SA-4.0.

LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) achieve strong performance on complex reasoning tasks by coordinating multiple agents, but at the cost of substantial token consumption. Recent work on automatic topology design, ARG-Designer, has reframed this problem as autoregressive graph generation. However, its training objective provides no explicit incentive for the model to generate sparse and efficient topologies. We address this limitation by introducing a Reward-Guided Autoregressive Graph Generation (RGA-Designer) inspired by Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). We train a reward model that jointly captures task correctness and structural compactness, and then fine-tune the pretrained graph generator using the reward model as feedback. Our method preserves task accuracy at the level of ARG-Designer while reducing token consumption by an average of 20.5%.

Watermarking schemes for large language model output are evaluated almost exclusively on English text using each scheme's detection threshold and a narrow set of quality measurements. Multilingual deployment exposes evaluation-design choices that are inconsequential on English but determine conclusions cross-lingually. We propose an evaluation framework with four components: detection thresholds calibrated empirically per deployment context, a threshold-independent companion measurement that distinguishes calibration failures from detection failures, three disjoint quality measurement paradigms (distributional, paired-semantic, and reference-perplexity), and a generalized-entropy decomposition of cross-language disparity over a typological family partition. Applied to six watermarking schemes, three open-weight generators, eleven languages spanning four scripts and eight typological families, and both base and instruction-tuned regimes, the framework reveals failure modes that single-language single-paradigm evaluation cannot surface. Across detection and quality, observed disparity is predominantly between-family on the typological partition, indicating that cross-lingual fairness gaps in watermarking are structural to language properties rather than idiosyncratic to particular languages.

We present HealMed, an expert-reviewed benchmark for multilingual evaluation of large language models in medicine. HealMed contains 1,000 examples in each of nine languages, drawn from nine datasets and covering three task formats: MCQA, NLI and open-ended QA. The benchmark was developed over two years by 23 physicians and medical experts based across nine countries and regions. Each translation was evaluated and revised by two experts fluent in English and the corresponding target language. On HealMed, performance declined most in low-resource languages, although the size of the gap varied markedly across languages and models. The strongest proprietary models were the most stable across languages, whereas many open-source and medically specialized models showed larger and less consistent gaps. Medical specialization alone did not ensure multilingual robustness. Furthermore, expert revision could either raise or lower measured performance, indicating that translation quality materially affects cross-language evaluation results.

Natural language code retrieval is a rapidly evolving task in computer science. However, the 1C:Enterprise ecosystem combines Russian syntax with highly domain-specific terminology, for which open datasets and specialized models have been virtually non-existent. We present a comprehensive pipeline for 1C code retrieval: an open benchmark of 3,413 real-world, PII-scrubbed query-code pairs, a reproducible evaluation harness, and a specialized bi-encoder. To overcome scarce labeled data, we fine-tune on 784,057 synthetic triplets generated by google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it from public code repositories, using Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) and a privacy-aware tokenizer. Because the benchmark subsets differ in size, we report balanced-subset macro, query-weighted micro, and forum-only results. Our model reaches 0.5992 balanced macro nDCG@10, 0.5044 micro, and 0.4617 on forum, versus 0.4932 macro for the baseline architecture and 0.5404 for google/embeddinggemma-300m. Removing every benchmark example flagged by the conservative exact/13-gram overlap audit leaves 0.6011 balanced macro (0.5010 micro), indicating that detected train-benchmark overlap does not explain the headline result. MRL truncation to 256 dimensions preserves 99.9% of retrieval quality while reducing dense-index storage and exact similarity arithmetic by a factor of three.

LLM agents learn by interacting with environments, yet these environments are hand-built and static: blind to an agent's weaknesses, and quickly left behind as it improves. While recent environment generation methods attempt to address this, they require domain-specific pipelines, rely on expensive or unreliable verifiers, and still produce static environments. To alleviate the engineering burden of rebuilding environments from scratch, we propose Environment Harness (EnvHarness), a programmable layer of plug-in components that wraps a static environment to reshape its behavior without modifying the underlying logic. Operating through standard interfaces, EnvHarness applies across diverse domains while ensuring every reshaped environment retains its original verifier. To automate this process, we introduce EnvRigger, which treats the target policy as a black box, observing its execution trajectories to synthesize EnvHarness components targeting diagnosed flaws, and validating them via fresh rollouts. Across five benchmarks in four domains, EnvHarness outperforms both original environments and domain-specific environment generation pipelines, achieving up to a 9.0-point improvement on held-out instances with 9.8% fewer execution steps. Furthermore, EnvHarness provides a superior optimization signal for reinforcement learning, enabling continuous, targeted co-evolution of the policy and its environment.

Patients often submit short, underspecified queries to healthcare chatbots that lack the patient-specific information needed to determine an appropriate response. Although these queries may be linguistically clear, they can support multiple plausible answers depending on undisclosed factors such as symptoms, diagnoses, medications, allergies, or dietary restrictions. A language model answering such a query directly may therefore rely on unsupported assumptions about the patient. We introduce a knowledge-guided agentic framework for mitigating patient-context ambiguity before final response generation. The framework operates between the patient and an otherwise unchanged downstream language model. It interprets the initial query, uses a task-specific knowledge graph to construct a set of plausible hypotheses, identifies the missing patient-context variables needed to distinguish among them, and asks targeted follow-up questions. The original query and the acquired context are then combined into a clarified prompt for the downstream model. We evaluated the framework across five language models using two controlled ambiguity-mitigation benchmarks: diagnosis retrieval from 1,034 symptom queries with clinically relevant evidence systematically masked, and dietary-safety classification from 487 queries with decisive health context omitted. The framework was compared with direct answering of the underspecified query and with rephrasing the same query without acquiring new patient information. In diagnosis retrieval, it increased overall exact Top-1 accuracy by at least 57.1 percentage points and selective exact Recall@5 by at least 77.7 percentage points across the five evaluated models compared with direct prompting. In dietary-safety classification, it improved accuracy across all five models and achieved the highest Matthews correlation coefficient for four...

Software increasingly functions as part of the scientific instrument itself, making failures in scientific code capable of compromising not only program behavior but also the evidence underlying scientific conclusions. Yet existing evaluations of coding agents largely emphasize aggregate task success, providing limited insight into why agents fail when repairing scientific software. We introduce \textbf{SWE-bench Science}, a repository-level benchmark for scientific software engineering comprising 119 tasks from 98 GitHub repositories across 20 scientific domains. Each task is organized into one of three paradigms: Issue-driven, Expert-exploratory, and Engineering-integration. Even the best-performing agent, \textbf{Claude Code with Opus-5 (max), achieves a pass@1 below 50\%}, highlighting the substantial challenges posed by scientific software engineering. We identify four recurring failure mechanisms: deficits in scientific knowledge or abstraction, misguided exploration or surface-level repair, incomplete repair coverage or system integration, and failures to generalize scientific knowledge beyond observed cases in our analysis. We further conduct a paired ablation that removes explicit scientific guidance while preserving the repository and executable engineering context. The results show that scientific knowledge is not uniformly beneficial: well-grounded information can constrain repair and improve average performance and token efficiency, whereas poorly aligned guidance can induce anchoring and does not necessarily improve exact repair success. Together, SWE-bench Science provides a broad testbed for studying both the capabilities and failure mechanisms of coding agents in scientific software engineering.

Audited against causal ground truth from executed replay in a single-agent tool environment (ALFWorld), none of the step-level credit signals used to train LLM agents -- LLM-judge scores, outcome-conditioned logprob ratios, or the policy's own confidence -- identifies which steps causally matter better than chance. Existing evaluations grade these signals against annotated step *correctness*; we audit them against step *contribution* -- what re-sampling the policy's own alternatives at each decision point and rolling forward actually changes about the outcome -- and the two come apart. The ground truth itself is structured: causal contribution is sparse (30.5% of decision points where ground truth is defined carry measurable effect), and measurability is model-dependent -- the fraction of points with no policy-supported counterfactual differs by a factor of two (13.1% vs. 26.8%) between two similar-scale policies. The failure mode is identifiable: implicit credit echoes the policy's fluency (median rank correlation +0.75, replicating at +0.70 in a second family under a corrected instrument), while conditioning on the outcome adds no causal information (partial correlation -0.004, Qwen). A confidence-only router recovers pivotal steps at chance level, but cuts judge cost by 13.1% per turn (14.0% per trajectory). In a seven-arm pre-registered training experiment, no arm reliably outperforms the untrained policy, and the checkpoints' apparent instrument signature is fully explained by training dose -- sparser credit retains fewer examples, an order-of-magnitude spread in optimizer steps -- not credit content. Comparisons of credit rules must therefore match effective sample size, or they measure dose, not credit.

Personalized text generation aims to make LLMs write in a specific individual's style, yet existing benchmarks measure task accuracy or preference alignment rather than whether the model's output actually resembles the target author's writing. We introduce PersonalBench, a benchmark that evaluates inference-time personalization methods through three independent lenses: LUAR (a trained authorship verification model), an LLM-as-judge, and automated stylometrics. Across 50 authors, 1,000 generations, and two model families (Qwen 3, GLM-4), we find that personalization methods do produce author-differentiated output (LUAR discriminates target authors within generated text at AUC=0.918) but this differentiation never crosses the human-LLM boundary. All methods achieve LUAR similarity to real authors in the range 0.484-0.508, below the cross-author human floor of 0.626 (ceiling 0.756). The LLM's own authorship fingerprint dominates: generated text is more distant from any human author than random humans are from each other. Methods are statistically indistinguishable from each other on LUAR (spread 0.024) despite appearing differentiated on the LLM judge, a discrepancy we trace to circularity between trait extraction and profile extraction. We validate that LUAR reliably measures authorship in our corpus (AUC=0.76 single-post, 0.96 multi-post). We release PersonalBench as a calibrated measuring stick: inference-time personalization modulates the LLM's style but does not bridge the gap to human authorship.

Recent agent benchmarks increasingly ground evaluation in executable environments, from code repair to web navigation, app APIs, and function calling. Yet completing consequential work beyond code requires more than producing a plausible response or valid tool call: agents must gather missing information over multiple turns, follow domain policies, coordinate dependent tools, and realize the correct persistent state transition without collateral effects. In this paper, we introduce Thinkingbox, a sandbox for tool-agent-user interaction that provides isolated MCP-compatible tool sessions, complete execution traces, and outcome evaluation over terminal backend state. Built on this sandbox, Thinkingbox-bench contains 507 policy-conditioned workflows across numerous scenarios, including retail, hospitality, auto insurance, neobank internal IT, and consulting IT/HR support. Each attempt is evaluated by task-specific executable checks that accept valid trajectories while rejecting wrong, missing, or extra effects; designated tasks additionally check required properties of the final response. Across proprietary and open-weight models, the strongest achieves 65.36% pass@1, but only 25.25% pass^20. Moreover, many failed trials show clean termination and valid state-changing actions, showing that response or tool-call-level signals are not clear proxies for end-to-end task completion. Thinkingbox-bench reveals a large gap between occasionally finding a successful trajectory and reliably completing stateful business tasks. We release both Thinkingbox and Thinkingbox-Bench: https://github.com/microsoft/thinkingbox

Large vision-language models (LVLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in video understanding and reasoning. Despite extensive studies on text- and image-based jailbreaks, video jailbreaks against LVLMs remain largely unexplored. Existing video jailbreak methods mainly manipulate textual content embedded in videos, while overlooking how such information is organized over time. Our analysis reveals that jailbreak effectiveness depends not only on the semantics of textual information but also on its temporal presentation, including duration and timing-slot allocation. Motivated by this finding, we use subtitles, which are common in real-world videos and allow semantic content to be presented under precise temporal control without appearing visually intrusive, as a natural attack medium. Based on this insight, we propose TempJail, a black-box video-based jailbreak framework that constructs query-aligned dialogue-style subtitle sequences and optimizes their temporal scheduling to exploit temporal vulnerabilities in LVLMs and elicit responses that satisfy the harmful intent of the source query. Extensive experiments on four representative LVLMs and two datasets demonstrate that TempJail achieves the highest attack success rate across all evaluated model--dataset settings, outperforming the strongest baseline by 53 and 18 percentage points in dataset-averaged ASR on GPT-5 and Gemini 3.5-Flash, respectively.

Large language models (LLMs) compression reduces deployment costs, but standard aggregate metrics like perplexity and accuracy often mask underlying behavioral shifts. In this work, we systematically evaluate 3 LLMs across 11 compression methods to investigate the effects of compression on knowledge retention, model confidence, and social bias. We find that compression disproportionately reduces the relative retention of head knowledge compared to tail knowledge. Furthermore, compressed models often remain substantially confident in their incorrect answers on newly lost knowledge. Finally, we demonstrate that stable aggregate bias scores can conceal substantial, opposing shifts in stereotypical preferences across demographic subgroups. Together, these findings reveal asymmetric behavioral changes that aggregate performance measures fail to capture, highlighting the need for granular evaluation of compressed models before deployment.

Financial AI systems often train information extractors on one textual register and deploy them across filings, news, and user-generated content, while standard F1 scores do not indicate which predictions remain safe to automate when the input distribution changes. We study confidence estimation and selective prediction for financial named entity recognition (NER) on a three-tier stress test spanning SEC filings, financial news, and general-topic social media as an extreme out-of-domain condition. We evaluate a BERT tagger and LoRA-tuned Qwen2.5-0.5B/1.5B models using five inference-time confidence signals, three training seeds, and bootstrap intervals. Confidence rankings themselves change under distribution shift: whole-output probability is the strongest in-domain error detector but deteriorates out of domain, whereas entity-span probability and self-consistency are more robust; self-consistency is also better calibrated without post-hoc fitting. Abstention reduces sentence error from 34.3% to below 2% on the highest-confidence 40% of in-domain inputs and remains useful on financial news, but recovers no usefully large clean subset under the extreme social-media shift. These results motivate a staged deployment strategy that detects severe distribution shift upstream before applying prediction-level confidence gating.

AI clones that imitate a specific person typically reproduce what the person says and how they sound, but not how they listen. We investigate whether adding multimodal listening behaviors gives such a clone more presence and authenticity. We integrated verbal backchannels and head nodding, driven by real-time prediction models, into an AI clone equipped with voice cloning and LLM-based responses. In a within-subjects study (N=35), adding these behaviors significantly improved the perceived attentiveness of the avatar, the sense of talking with the real person, and the feeling of co-presence. These results indicate that AI clone fidelity should extend beyond voice and response content to include interactive listening behavior.

This work introduces a formal semantic-block model for specifications and an execution-judged benchmark for evaluating specification quality independently of model capability. A specification is represented as a structure comprising semantic blocks, dependency relations, block-owned rules, decision points, and explicitly open questions, subject to four machine-checkable well-formedness conditions: acyclicity, single ownership, constraint domination, and totality or ambiguity-stop. Determinacy is defined model-theoretically as agreement among all conforming implementations and is estimated empirically through convergence across independent implementers. The model is instantiated on an Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration specification containing 18 blocks and 19 dependency edges. Computational validation shows that the five-layer decomposition reduces mean per-task context by approximately 71% through dependency closures, covers 85.5% of the study-defined Oracle construct taxonomy with all identified gaps triaged, is not Pareto-dominated by the tested alternative partitions, and is recovered at the 99.9th percentile from citation-derived edges not used to define the original structure. The benchmark keeps the implementer panel fixed, includes a mandatory no-specification control arm, and uses PostgreSQL 16 and a live Oracle instance as deterministic execution judges. Six designed studies, including three pre-registered manipulations and three diagnostic analyses, further examine specification effects. Repeated runs on a 25-unit subsample reveal an empirical variability floor with a median arm-delta spread of 14.4 percentage points. The results support determinacy as a formal concept but not as a standalone empirical quality metric for the evaluated contemporary LLM implementers.

Statistical watermarks for language models live in the freedom of the signifier: they choose among tokens that are nearly equivalent in meaning, and they are therefore eroded by exactly those transformations which move the form of a text while leaving its content in place. The literature measures such transformations by their endpoint, through the semantic similarity between the original and the rewritten text. We show that the endpoint is the wrong statistic. Adapting the formalism of linguistic loops, we prove that the invariant of a chain of meaning-preserving transformations factorises canonically into an endpoint part and a holonomy in the stabiliser of the initial state, the second of which the semantic deficit cannot see; the loop rotation is parallel transport on the unit sphere of the embedding space, so that the analogy with the Wilson loop becomes a theorem rather than a figure of speech. On the side of the detector we prove an exact identity: the residual statistic is proportional to the number of positions whose seeding window survived intact, from which the decay law $ρ^{h+1}$ follows as the independent-edit corollary. The identity has a disconcerting consequence, which we confirm to three decimal places: at one and the same retention rate the surviving signal may be one half of the original, one quarter of it, or exactly nothing, according only to where the edits fall.

This study reports the development of an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system in Mizo, a low-resource language. The development included collecting 17.62 hours of speech data, curating it, and fine-tuning the Mizo ASR system with three Whisper multilingual models and with the SraVaani 1.0 Indic multilingual model. Whisper-large-v3 achieved the lowest conventional WER (18.08%), while morphology-aware evaluation yielded a WER of 7.22%. Zero-shot evaluation of the SraVaani 1.0 Indic multilingual model yielded a WER of 58.27%, while Mizo-specific fine-tuning reduced the conventional WER to 29.45% and the morphology-aware WER to 17.93%. The results demonstrate that the Whisper model can achieve a substantially low WER, even when adapted to an unseen language. In contrast, SraVaani 1.0 supports the Mizo language in its multilingual model; however, fine-tuning with carefully curated Mizo speech data substantially improves its performance.

When a tool call times out, the agent sees the failure and can route around it. A cached error page or negative price can instead arrive in the expected format and be consumed as fact. We introduce Outcome Monitors, which detect violations of outcome contracts mined from task-disjoint traces or derived from public schemas. On a violation, the monitor preserves the result and issues a nonbinding receipt naming the violated property and public recovery tools. In frozen, prespecified evaluations with injected failures, Outcome Monitors raise ToolMaze completion from 10.9% to 28.1% across four models in two provider families and replicate in a third. In tau-bench retail, completion improves by 14.0 and 12.0 points on two tiers. In separate ToolMaze controls, removing the recovery-tool list eliminates the measured gain and restoring it recovers the effect; diagnostic detail and timing produce no detectable differences. Gains concentrate where the fault blocks completion. On a suite transcribed from a published incident taxonomy, detection outside the mined vocabulary falls to 46%, though delivery continues and completion is unchanged. Recovery tools are the active receipt content in these controls; extending detection beyond the contract vocabulary remains open.

We present 4DAnyone, a framework for reconstructing 4D humans from an uncalibrated monocular video by generating reconstruction-grade multiview-consistent videos and lifting them into 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS). Existing camera-controlled video diffusion models synthesize plausible novel-view videos but fail to maintain consistency when scaled to the tens of target views required for 4DGS reconstruction. We identify this failure as a bounded-attention-context problem: when target views exceed the capacity of a single DiT forward pass, they must be split into groups, exposing two coupled bottlenecks. On the reference-context side, conditioning on all previously generated views grows as $O(N)$, weakening cross-view appearance guidance. On the target-context side, disjoint groups cannot directly exchange information, causing global structural drift. 4DAnyone addresses both bottlenecks with two complementary designs: Reference Context Packing (RCP) compresses growing reference views into a fixed-length mixed-resolution context with $O(1)$ reference-context complexity, while Target Context Routing (TCR) rotates target-view groupings during denoising to share context across groups at high-noise steps and stabilize details at low-noise steps. We further build the MVGameHuman dataset using our in-house game engine and combine it with light-stage and in-the-wild video datasets for training. Experiments on DNA-Rendering and DyMVHumans show that 4DAnyone outperforms prior methods in both novel-view video quality and downstream 4DGS reconstruction, with robust in-the-wild generalization.

We present Swift-Image, a compact unified model for text-to-image generation, single-image editing, and multi-image editing. Our goal is to explore how far a relatively small visual generator can be pushed through systematic training engineering under a constrained computational budget. Swift-Image adopts an efficient 6B single-stream DiT and a progressive training pipeline that evolves from broad semantic coverage to higher resolution, stronger visual quality, and unified generation-editing supervision. For post-training, we employ parallel expert reinforcement learning followed by multi-teacher on-policy distillation to alleviate interference among heterogeneous objectives. We further decouple high-level reasoning from pixel-level rendering with a Prompt Enhancer that translates user requests into generator-aligned visual specifications. For efficient deployment, structural pruning and few-step distillation produce 3B and accelerated variants. Swift-Image achieves leading aggregate performance among evaluated open-source models with only 6B parameters and 243K GPU training hours; the compressed 3B model incurs nearly no loss, while few-step distillation further improves aggregate editing performance with substantially fewer sampling steps. Our study also summarizes practical lessons for architecture, data curriculum, post-training, prompt enhancement, and model compression.

The capability to perceive and synthesize human-human interactions is fundamental to developing intelligent digital human systems. However, existing datasets and modeling approaches are fundamentally constrained by low-fidelity kinematics, the omission of dexterous hand gestures and a severe lack of rich multimodal annotations. Furthermore, fragmented interaction representations and inconsistent evaluation protocols also impede fair and rigorous benchmarking. To systematically address these bottlenecks, we present Inter-X++, a comprehensive and large-scale benchmark designed to empower versatile HHI analysis. Captured via a novel hybrid motion capture system, Inter-X++ provides 11,388 high-fidelity interaction sequences and over 8.1M frames, featuring precise whole-body movements and detailed finger articulations. Meanwhile, we enrich the data foundation with multifaceted annotations, including hierarchical fine-grained textual descriptions, interaction categories, causal interaction orders, the relationship and personality of the subjects, as well as vertex-level contact maps and physically regularized constraints. Leveraging these elaborate annotations, we formulate a unified testing ground comprising four categories of downstream tasks that symmetrically span both generative and perceptive paradigms. To eliminate benchmarking ambiguities, we systematically standardize the interaction representations and evaluation protocols. Finally, we go beyond dataset construction to propose OpenHHI, a single and unified HHI representation and modeling framework that jointly optimizes interaction reconstruction and semantic understanding. Extensive experiments reveal that OpenHHI achieves state-of-the-art performance on both generation and perception tasks. This definitively proves that our unified representation successfully bridges interaction understanding and generation simultaneously.

Egocentric video offers scalable manipulation data for embodied AI, yet recovering metric 3D hand trajectories remains challenging due to severe object occlusion and frequent out-of-sight gaps. Existing single-frame and windowed temporal regressors fail when hand shortly leaves the frame, while recent video diffusion models (VDMs) rely on heavy, stochastic multi-step sampling as pixel-space renderers. We instead repurpose VDM into a deterministic geometry encoder. A single forward pass over the clean latent exposes scene content beyond current observations, including occluded and out-of-sight hands. We introduce DreamHand, an offline clip-level framework that extracts features via a Deterministic Clean-Latent Encoder and decodes them with a Bidirectional Spatiotemporal Decoder. DreamHand recovers continuous bimanual trajectories with metric placement and no external detector, while a Ray-Based Camera Solver supports a second configuration that needs no test-time camera intrinsics. Across five egocentric benchmarks, DreamHand sets a new state of the art, cutting MPJPE-p by 30% on occlusion-heavy ARCTIC and 40% on HOT3D. These gains reach 46%-61% once out-of-sight hands are included in the evaluation, offering a scalable path from everyday human video to robot manipulation data.

Myocardial scar segmentation from single-stack late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) imaging has been a longstanding and clinically important challenge, particularly in the presence of low tissue contrast, diffuse, and small scar regions. These challenges are further intensified by the limited availability of 3D spatial context. This paper presents CalcSeg, a Confidence-aware latent context curriculum learning framework that leverages fused 3D feature representations from single-stack 2D LGE-CMR images for robust scar segmentation. Specifically, we introduce a dynamic semi-supervised curriculum learning strategy that progressively expands training from easier to more challenging scar cases using a learned confidence-aware scoring function. Such a function integrates errors in the predicted scar maps with quantified epistemic uncertainty and scar burden estimation to automatically assess sample difficulty without requiring manual labels. To compensate for the limited spatial context in single-stack acquisitions, we then develop a latent slice-wise self-attention to capture inter-slice dependencies and infer 3D spatial representations from sparse 2D inputs. We evaluate CalcSeg on multi-center clinical LGE-CMR datasets and benchmark against existing scar segmentation networks. Experimental results show that CalcSeg consistently outperforms all competing methods, particularly with substantial improvements on clinically challenging cases. Our code is released on Github.

Reliable surgical planning requires models to anticipate not only how instruments will move, but also how the operative visual state will evolve together with such motion. Existing approaches typically treat future scene generation and instrument trajectory prediction as two separate tasks. Scene-only models cannot directly evaluate the accuracy of future instrument motion at the trajectory level, while trajectory-only models fail to capture the visual consequences of instrument movement, leaving the consistency between predicted trajectories and future scene evolution unaddressed. Jointly forecasting both provides a more complete account of surgical action-scene dynamics by enabling explicit trajectory-level evaluation while simultaneously modeling the corresponding visual evolution. To bridge this gap, we present a preliminary joint visual-trajectory world-action model that simultaneously forecasts future visual states and instrument trajectories from historical surgical observations. Specifically, we encode historical video frames and tool trajectories into latent representations, which are processed by a temporal-spatial encoder and subsequently decoded through separate visual-state and trajectory prediction heads. Based on this preliminary architecture, a chunked autoregressive rollout is repeatedly applied to predict fifteen future steps. The chunked strategy consistently outperforms direct one-shot prediction across all evaluated horizons, improving first-segment PSNR from 18.86 to 23.11 dB and reducing ADE from 45.77 to 22.22 pixels. These results demonstrate the initial feasibility of joint visual-motion forecasting. However, we observe progressive visual degradation and accumulated trajectory errors over longer prediction horizons, which remain important challenges for future surgical world-action modeling.

Anatomically plausible segmentation remains challenging because of low contrast, ambiguous boundaries, and modality-specific artifacts. Interactive segmentation has emerged as a promising strategy to guide feature extraction and improve localization, particularly in structurally ambiguous regions. However, existing methods integrate prompts through late-stage fusion and lack explicit mechanisms for prompt-driven channel-wise modulation across hierarchical feature representations, limiting their ability to capture deeper contextual and modality-specific variations. To address these limitations, we introduce Prompt-Conditioned Channel Attention (PCCA), a novel modulation mechanism that enables deep, hierarchical integration of semantic prompts within encoder-decoder networks. PCCA extracts compact channel descriptors via pooling, projects them into a shared space, and fuses them through a gated excitation mechanism to compute prompt-aware channel attention weights. These weights adaptively recalibrate feature responses across multiple network stages, enabling prompt-conditioned, semantically enriched hierarchical representations. Building on this, we propose PROMISE-Net, instantiated in two network variants: a convolutional model (PROMISE-CNN) and a transformer-based model (PROMISE-Txformer). Across the ISIC-Lesion, Kvasir-Polyp, CAMUS-Cardiac, and Kvasir-Instrument benchmarks, integrating PCCA into PROMISE-CNN yielded relative IoU gains of 10.4%, 8.7%, 0.8%, and 3.4%, respectively, over the baseline U-Net, while PROMISE-Txformer achieved corresponding gains of 7.6%, 23.0%, 2.1%, and 1.1%, respectively, over the baseline UNETR. These results show consistent improvements across architectures, imaging modalities, and anatomical targets, establishing PCCA and PROMISE-Net as a scalable, generalizable framework for prompt-aware hierarchical feature modulation in medical image segmentation.

High-fidelity removal of eyeglasses from video is a major challenge in facial attribute editing, as the underlying facial geometry is often obscured by complex refractive distortions and view-dependent specular reflections. While large-scale generative priors have shown promise in eye-glasses removal via static image inpainting, they often lack the structural constraints necessary to maintain identity, expression, and pose, leading to visible "identity drift" in both static images and dynamic sequences. In this paper, we propose a novel transfer framework that addresses the stochastic nature of generative priors. Our pipeline first extracts high-fidelity synthetic face images from a commercial-grade generative model (Nano Banana, Gemini 3 Pro Image), regularizes them via a three-stage structural filtering process to preserve identity, expression, and pose, and finally applies physically-based simulation of lens optics during training to provide diverse, paired data. This process transfers Nano Banana's photo-realistic, multi-view knowledge into a specialized restoration architecture, JFSnet (Joint Feature-Spatial network). JFSnet integrates DINOv2-based semantic features with a convolutional decoder for spatial reconstruction, leveraging translation equivariance constraints to improve temporal consistency and high-frequency detail preservation. Evaluations on the curated Flickr-Faces-HQ (FFHQ) subset (12,163 images) show that our approach achieves high fidelity and structural accuracy, while maintaining inference speed of 27.68 FPS. In perceptual studies on CelebV-Text video sequences, our results are consistently preferred over diffusion and GAN-based baselines for ocular consistency, temporal stability, and overall restoration quality.

Egocentric action understanding is often addressed using large video models pretrained on extensive exocentric datasets. However, many first-person actions depend on a small number of hand-object interactions involving only a few relevant entities. We propose G3Ego, a graph-based framework for egocentric action understanding that uses gaze as a structural cue to identify action-relevant entities in the scene. From sparsely sampled frames, G3Ego constructs action scene graphs from vision-language descriptions, grounded objects, and hand cues, and then prunes irrelevant entities using the camera wearer's gaze. The resulting graph embeddings are temporally aggregated for action recognition and anticipation. Unlike prior work that uses gaze primarily as an auxiliary modality or attention signal, G3Ego incorporates gaze directly into graph construction, producing efficient and interpretable representations focused on action-relevant interactions. Experiments on EGTEA Gaze+ and MECCANO show that G3Ego achieves competitive performance compared with video-based approaches and consistently improves Macro-F1 under class-imbalanced evaluation, while avoiding reliance on computationally expensive video pretraining. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of gaze-guided graph representations for egocentric action understanding.

Minimally invasive colorectal surgeries (MIS-CRS) are characterised by significant variability and inconsistent outcomes. ColoWorkflow, a tool for the video-based assessment (VBA) of MIS-CRS workflow, was recently validated. However, manual VBA is time-consuming, limiting implementation. This study presents AI-ColoWorkflow, a deep learning model for automated surgical workflow analysis across MIS-CRS. Operative videos of MIS-CRS were collected from 4 centres and a publicly available dataset. Phases and steps were manually annotated according to ColoWorkflow. A deep learning model combining a fine-tuned DINOv3 vision transformer for per-frame visual feature extraction with a hierarchical multi-stage temporal convolutional network was jointly optimized for phase and step recognition. The model trained on pooled multicentric data, namely AI-ColoWorkflow was compared against centre-specific and procedure-specific models on a held-out test set. The following metrics were used for evaluation: macro F1 score, balanced accuracy, precision, and recall. AI-ColoWorkflow achieved a macro F1 of 73.01% $\pm$ 10.27 (balanced accuracy 73.43%) for phase recognition and 39.82% $\pm$ 7.06 (balanced accuracy 38.65%) for step recognition. The global model outperformed centre- and procedure-specific models in most experiments except procedure-specific step recognition. In the generalization analysis, mean F1 was 48.42% for phase recognition. AI-ColoWorkflow can reliably recognize MIS-CRS phases. A single model trained on pooled, multicentric, multi-procedural data generalises at least as well as and often better than centre- or procedure-specific models for phase recognition in MIS-CRS, while procedure-specific step models retain advantages for certain procedure types, motivating hybrid training strategies for future surgical AI development.

Women's health remains substantially under-resourced in medical imaging research, with pelvic pathologies such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and pelvic fracture both suffering from a scarcity of public, well-annotated benchmark data despite their clinical importance. We introduce PelviNeXt, a modality-agnostic hybrid architecture combining a dense convolutional feature extractor, hierarchical channel-spatial attention (H-CBAM), a multi-scale fusion module (MSFM), and talking-heads multi-head self-attention (TH-MHSA), applied without modification to both pelvic ultrasound and X-ray inputs. While benchmarking PelviNeXt on PCOSGen, the only gynaecologist-annotated public PCOS ultrasound dataset, we identified extensive exact and near-duplicate contamination within and across the dataset. We audit this contamination via perceptual hashing, publicly release a deduplicated version of the dataset, and establish the first integrity-audited evaluation protocol and baseline for PCOSGen under 5-fold cross-validation. On the only publicly available pelvic fracture X-ray dataset (PXR150), PelviNeXt exceeds previously reported state-of-the-art results across accuracy, recall, specificity, and AUROC. Ablation studies confirm that each architectural component contributes to performance on both tasks. Our results demonstrate that a single architecture, applied without task-specific modification, can serve as a reliable foundation for pelvic imaging across modalities in data-scarce, under-researched areas of women's health.

All-in-One Image Restoration (AiOIR) aims to handle diverse degradations within a unified model. However, existing methods often overlook image semantics in degradation modeling and lack low-level visual priors during reconstruction, leading to structural distortions and semantic inconsistencies. To address these issues, we propose a novel Dual-Prior Collaborative Network (DPC-Net), which achieves high-quality restoration by jointly exploiting degradation-semantic coupled priors and low-level visual priors. Specifically, degraded images are fed into a Degradation-Aware Network (DAN) to extract degradation-semantic coupled features. To this end, a Vision-Language Model (VLM) supervises DAN by constraining its features distribution, introducing image semantics into the encoding of degradation patterns. A Degradation-Semantic Modulation Module (DSMM) further translates this guidance into degradation-semantic coupling and propagates coupled representations to the decoder. During decoding, knowledge bases provide low-level visual priors, and the Dual-Prior Collaborative Reconstruction Module (DPCR) integrates dual-prior information to guide degradation removal while preserving structure and semantics, producing high-fidelity restored images. Extensive experiments on multiple restoration benchmarks demonstrate that DPC-Net achieves superior performance against state-of-the-art AiOIR methods.

Video Temporal Grounding (VTG) faces significant challenges when natural language queries must distinguish between multiple events involving visually similar entities, particularly when relying on fine-grained visual attributes that are difficult to describe accurately in words alone. To address this, we introduce Image-Disambiguated Video Temporal Grounding (ID-VTG), a task that leverages multimodal queries combining a reference image and a text description to precisely localize segments where a specific instance performs a described action. To facilitate research, we construct two benchmarks: IDVTG-Gym, focusing on fine-grained, compositionally ordered gymnastics actions with athletes in similar uniforms; and IDVTG-InternVid, an open-world dataset featuring diverse entities (e.g., humans, animals, fictional characters) and significant temporal distractors. Methodologically, we propose the Visually-Guided Disambiguation Aggregation (VGD-Agg) framework based on a dual-branch fast-slow architecture. The fast branch efficiently generates preliminary event proposals, while the slow branch performs fine-grained frame-level matching between video frames and the reference image. We enhance discriminability via two learnable tokens: a Compare Token, which represents hard negatives to probe for the presence of the target instance (as referred to by the query image), and a Depress Value, which represents text-irrelevant events. Proposals that the Compare Token identifies as lacking the target instance are pushed toward the Depress Value, thus easing disambiguation via the text query. Extensive experiments validate our approach, which achieves state-of-the-art results on the proposed benchmarks. Code is available at https://github.com/oceanflowlab/ID-VTG.

Large multimodal models (LMMs) have demonstrated strong OCR recognition capabilities, yet remain vulnerable to adversarial visual text that is readable to humans but challenging for models to localize and recognize. Existing OCR benchmarks mainly focus on natural or document-style text, while adversarial OCR evaluations remain limited in scale, task coverage, or region-aware evaluation. In this paper, we formulate adversarial OCR as a \textbf{grounded OCR perception} task and introduce \textbf{AdvSpot}, the first benchmark for grounded adversarial OCR evaluation. AdvSpot comprises 390 images with region-level annotations, spanning 5 primary categories and 13 fine-grained adversarial OCR types. To address this challenge, we propose \textbf{ArmorOCR}, a two-stage training framework for robust adversarial OCR perception. ArmorOCR first acquires missing adversarial OCR perception from privileged transformed observations through On-Policy Self-Distillation (OPSD), and then refines grounded OCR perception through Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with task-conditioned rewards for localization, recognition, full spotting, and visual question answering (VQA). Experiments on our AdvSpot, other adversarial OCR benchmarks, and general OCR benchmarks demonstrate that ArmorOCR consistently improves adversarial OCR perception while preserving competitive general OCR capability.

Generative models have shown strong potential for positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction. Although diffusion model-based reconstruction methods have demonstrated promising performance, they often require many reverse sampling steps with data-consistency updates incorporated into the sampling process. Flow matching offers an attractive alternative because it can directly estimate clean images from intermediate states, allowing data-consistency refinement to be separated from flow propagation. In this work, we proposed flow matching-based PET image reconstruction methods. We first established PET-FlowDPS by incorporating Poisson likelihood guidance with an expectation-maximization (EM)-based preconditioner into the FlowDPS framework. We then proposed a model-based PET reconstruction method that used a pretrained flow matching model as a prior, in which the flow-based prior, PET data refinement, and stochastic propagation were interpreted within an approximate Bayesian framework. Experimental results using [$^{\text{18}}\text{F}$]FDG brain PET datasets showed that the proposed method achieved better bias-variance trade-offs across different dose levels compared with other reference methods. These results demonstrated the potential of flow matching as a generative prior for quantitative PET image reconstruction.

Recent advances in generative video models have significantly improved visual realism in video object removal, yet evaluation protocols still focus on masked region fidelity, treating removal as local inpainting. In real scenes, object removal is a causal intervention: eliminating an object also requires removing its induced physical effects, such as shadows, reflections, illumination changes, translucency, and dynamic traces. Existing benchmarks lack aligned clean references or remain limited to simplified synthetic settings, preventing systematic evaluation of causal consistency. We introduce BeyondMasks, a paired benchmark for causally consistent video object removal, consisting of temporally aligned synthetic and real world video pairs with clean background references. The dataset spans diverse photometric, geometric, volumetric, and dynamic interactions, and supports both mask based and instruction driven editing. We further propose CORE, a structured vision language model based evaluation protocol that jointly measures object disappearance and after effect consistency, aligning more closely with human judgments than existing metrics. Benchmarking state of the art methods reveals systematic failures in removing secondary physical effects despite high masked region fidelity, exposing a gap between visual plausibility and causal correctness. BeyondMasks reframes video object removal as causal scene consistency rather than local reconstruction and provides a unified framework for its evaluation.

Artificial immune networks (AINs) are naturally memory-forming systems, but conventional visual AINs often rely on flattened vector affinity that ignores spatial structure. This paper studies whether structured, gradient-free immune affinity can make Deep AINs viable as replay-free visual class-incremental representation-memory learners. Visual B-cells are formalized as structured templates, including shifted-template affinity, zero-normalized cross-correlation (ZNCC) filters, and feature-map binding profiles. A repertoire is treated both as memory and as a representation-inducing basis, while depth is obtained by passing binding-profile response maps to subsequent immune layers. The resulting Deep AIN exhibits adaptive latent coordinate reorganization: as new classes arrive, the binding-profile space evolves while retaining recoverable structure for earlier classes. Experiments on sklearn digits, MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, and KMNIST show that preserving response maps is critical. Scalar binding-profile variants underperform, whereas feature-map Deep AINs learn class-discriminative visual memory without replay, label-driven immune updates, or backpropagation through the immune layers. On sklearn digits, downstream probes fitted on the learned binding profiles reach 0.939 final balanced accuracy with logistic regression and 0.902 with 1-nearest-neighbour after all ten classes are encountered, with initial-class retention of 0.978. Adaptive layer-wise scale calibration further improves the two-layer feature-map Deep AIN to 0.978 balanced accuracy. With the same calibration rule, Fashion-MNIST reaches 0.814 and KMNIST reaches 0.853. These probes are external validation tools, not components of the AIN. The results identify structured affinity, response-map preservation, adaptive latent reorganization, and layer-wise scale calibration as key mechanisms for replay-free visual immune memory.

In this work, we present HandMvNet, one of the first real-time method designed to estimate 3D hand motion and shape from multi-view camera images. Unlike previous monocular approaches, which suffer from scale-depth ambiguities, our method ensures consistent and accurate absolute hand poses and shapes. This is achieved through a multi-view attention-fusion mechanism that effectively integrates features from multiple viewpoints. In contrast to previous multi-view methods, our approach eliminates the need for camera parameters as input to learn 3D geometry. HandMvNet also achieves a substantial reduction in inference time while delivering competitive results compared to the state-of-the-art methods, making it suitable for real-time applications. Evaluated on publicly available datasets, HandMvNet qualitatively and quantitatively outperforms previous methods under identical settings. Code is available at github.com/pyxploiter/handmvnet.

While generalist VLMs are expensive to train, creating domain experts is widely assumed to require fine-tuning increasingly large foundation models. We show that, in veterinary radiology, this assumption is misguided. By rethinking the entire VLM pipeline - from text tokenisation and pre-training to grounding and inference - we demonstrate that careful engineering can yield models that outperform much larger foundation models from scratch, without relying on any other data. Our approach introduces new strategies for generative pre-training and grounding that improve training efficiency, increasing data utilisation and downstream performance. Using only a fraction of the parameters, data, and compute of contemporary generalist models, we develop the first VLM capable of generating diagnostic reports for veterinary radiographs, surpassing open foundation models on this task by significant margin.

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are now standard in most consumer devices, such as smartphones, drones, and extended reality (XR) headsets. By fusing visual and inertial data, localization systems gain significantly in speed and robustness compared to vision-only or IMU-only approaches. However, traditional pose estimation methods fail to utilize the local geometric information embedded in feature descriptors like SIFT. Recent work has proved the advantages of leveraging this information for relative and absolute pose estimation, but its application to partially calibrated absolute pose estimation remains unexplored. In this paper, we derive novel constraints for joint estimation of absolute pose and focal length, making use of a gravity vector obtained from IMU data and the feature-induced local geometry, which we use to construct two efficient solvers: UP1PfAC, that operates given a single affine correspondence and UP2PfORI, which requires two orientation-covariant features. Unlike traditional, semi-calibrated absolute pose methods requiring four point correspondences, our solvers benefit from fewer samples and lower computational cost, simplifying robust estimation in modern RANSAC-like frameworks. We evaluate the proposed solvers against the state-of-the-art on large-scale public datasets and demonstrate that our method achieves fast and accurate localization and focal length estimation.

Artificial intelligence can support cultural heritage and digital humanities through large-scale retrieval and analysis of digitized collections. However, cultural heritage data are often distributed across institutions, constrained by ownership and access restrictions, and continuously evolving over time. Federated Continual Learning (FCL) is well suited to this setting, as it enables models to learn from distributed and sequential data without sharing raw collections. In this paper, we propose FedCurv-DR, a lightweight, regularisation-based FCL strategy. The method accumulates parameter-importance estimates across clients and experiences to protect learned knowledge, while updating them only at fixed intervals to minimize communication and computation overhead. We evaluate FedCurv-DR in a continual learning scenario using the WikiArt image dataset for genre classification with evolving styles, reporting performance, energy, and fairness metrics. Our results show that FedCurv- DR reduces forgetting and balances performance, fairness, and energy efficiency for sustainable AI in cultural heritage.

Streetscape quality has become a central concern in contemporary urban planning, particularly within the framework of the pedestrian-friendly 15-minute city, where walkability and public-space quality are increasingly recognized as key determinants of urban performance. However, assessing streetscape qualities across large suburban and peri-urban territories remains challenging due to the time and resource demands of conventional field surveys. This paper presents a planning-oriented assessment of streetscape qualities in the north-eastern periphery of Nice (France) using the latest release of SAGAI (Streetscape Analysis with Generative AI), an open-source workflow that leverages vision-language models (VLMs) for large-scale streetscape analysis from Google Street View imagery. The new release addresses limitations of the original framework through improved image acquisition, geographically consistent view generation, support for multiple VLM architectures, consensus-based inference, and an integrated analytical environment. The workflow is applied to several thousand street-level observations to evaluate qualities relevant to pedestrian-friendly urban environments: sidewalk presence, pedestrian entrance density, and vegetation. The resulting maps reveal that the desired streetscape qualities characterize only a fraction of today's suburban streetscapes, mainly in compact developments and traditional suburban faubourgs, while they are particularly lacking on residential hills. The analysis demonstrates the potential of contemporary VLMs to support urban diagnostics in extensive suburban territories where fieldwork would be prohibitively time-consuming. Beyond the case study, the paper illustrates how recent advances in vision-language models can contribute to evidence-based planning by enabling scalable, flexible, and interpretable assessments of urban public-space quality.

Preference optimization is a standard alignment method for generative models, yet extending it to continuous-time dynamics remains non-trivial. In flow matching, reward-driven updates modify transport trajectories without an inherent constraint to the pretrained data manifold and can move terminal samples off the pretrained support. We formalize this failure mode as manifold drift. Theoretically, we show that optimal flow matching recovers the terminal data distribution, whereas a preference update leaves the pretrained manifold whenever its induced terminal displacement has a nonzero normal component. As a remedy, we propose ThermoDPO, a temperature-controlled objective that anchors pairwise preference optimization on preferred samples. Across temperature regimes, this objective connects rejection sampling fine-tuning and FlowDPO and controls a pointwise reconstruction-based surrogate for manifold distance. To counteract diminished signals at low temperatures, we further introduce a weighted variant, ThermoDPO-weighted. On the main toy benchmark, ThermoDPO-weighted attains a StrictScore of 0.899, compared with 0.629 for FlowDPO and 0.857 for FlowDPO+RFT. On SD3.5-M at CFG = 4.5, it improves OCR by 47.5% and the average of four metrics by 16.0%.

Sparse view 3D reconstruction is commonly addressed with neural implicit surfaces or dense point-based representations such as Gaussian splatting. Surface-aware splatting methods improve extracted geometry through oriented primitives and regularization, while RadiosityGS incorporates differentiable light transport through a radiosity inspired finite-element surfel formulation. We propose a differentiable point rendering method based on opacity-bearing beta surfels. An opacity explicit adjoint light transport formulation provides gradients for surfel geometry and appearance parameters, allowing physically based light transport to constrain reconstruction. Across five synthetic objects reconstructed from ten posed views, our method achieves the lowest mean symmetric Chamfer distance among the evaluated baselines and reduces mean Chamfer distance by 28.5% relative to the strongest point-based baseline while using only 267 surfels on average, approximately ~161 fewer primitives. Directional Chamfer results further show improved accuracy and competitive completion relative to related point-based methods. These results show that, in the controlled direct illumination setting, compact beta surfels combined with transport-based optimization can recover surfaces without relying on the tens to hundreds of thousands of primitives used by the evaluated baselines.

Skeleton-based Video Anomaly Detection (VAD) offers a robust, privacy-preserving solution for identifying abnormal behaviors. To model the distribution of normal static and moving poses, recent methods train Energy-Based Models (EBMs) via Denoising Score Matching (DSM). However, directly injecting noise, required for training, into raw joint coordinates creates physically impossible poses, and this structural collapse severely worsens as the temporal window expands. To address this, we introduce STEP, a simple framework that utilizes Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to project pose sequences into a compact, whitened PC-space. Learning the data density within this well-behaved PC-space ensures that the injected noise translates into physically plausible variations, which allows the model to process longer video sequences without the performance collapse of raw coordinate baselines. Additionally, to mitigate inherent pose estimation inaccuracies arising from occlusions or motion blur, we integrate a sequence-level weighting mechanism based on the estimator's confidence scores. Operating at real-time computational efficiency, our simple and lightweight framework outperforms the previous skeleton-based state-of-the-art by 12.2% (90.1% AUROC) on the challenging UBnormal dataset and achieves highly competitive results by improving on the ShanghaiTech benchmark.

Recently, open-vocabulary 3D object detection (3D-OVD) has gained increasing attention for its ability to detect unseen objects in 3D scenes. Existing approaches typically adopt a two-stage pipeline that first discovers novel objects using foundation models and then trains a 3D-OVD model based on these discovered objects. Although effective, this pipeline often suffers from inaccurate localization and mismatched classification during the discovery stage, which subsequently limits the performance of the model training stage. To address these limitations, we advocate for improving both the reliability of novel object discovery and the robustness of model training, and propose an innovative framework. Specifically, for reliable discovery, our co-distillation strategy distills high-quality novel objects by applying Hungarian matching over a comprehensive score that incorporates geometric consistency, structural objectness, and semantic certainty. To enhance robust model training, we further propose a dual-guidance learning scheme, incorporating a scene-awareness-guided uncertainty regularization for the regression head and an LLM-guided hierarchical alignment for the classification head, effectively mitigating the negative effects of imprecise 3D bounding boxes and semantic ambiguity.

Modern computer vision has enabled partial autonomy in robotic assembly manipulation. However, performing autonomous manipulation of a progressive assembly demands a more specific set of skills, in addition to perceiving the objects. Through a comparative analysis of research in the associated domains, we deduce that object-centric perception must advance towards learning assembly dependencies to predict meaningful actionable outputs for autonomous assembly manipulation. Subsequently, we present a 3D keypoint-based modular learning framework to learn assembly dependencies to infer actionable outputs given a RGB-D input of an assembly scene. We train and evaluate our trained network on an assembly pose estimation dataset and compare it against object-centric baselines with an augmented set of metrics for progressive assemblies.

Segmentation of curvilinear anatomical structures in 3D medical images remains challenging due to complex topology, severe class imbalance, weak contrast, and large variations in structure morphology. While deep learning approaches for 3D curvilinear segmentation have been proposed, they are often tailored to specific anatomies or modalities, limiting generalization across clinical settings and leaving room for improvement. Recent generative models have shown the benefits of iterative prediction for structured segmentation tasks, yet diffusion-based methods suffer from computationally expensive sampling, hindering their use on high-resolution 3D volumes. We present 3D-CurvSegFlow, a flow matching-based model for 3D curvilinear structure segmentation. The model learns a continuous transformation from a simple source distribution to the target vascular representation, enabling progressive refinement of complex curvilinear geometries with efficient inference. We evaluate our method on Three public challenging datasets covering distinct anatomies and modalities: portal vein, cerebral vessel, and coronary arteries. Using a common architecture and training strategy across all tasks, our method outperforms general-purpose and vessel-specific approaches, with strong preservation of thin branches and vascular continuity. This work not only advances the state-of-the-art in 3D curvilinear segmentation but also opens new avenues for efficient, generalizable, and clinically applicable methods in medical image analysis.

For full-body avatars, modeling surface dynamics is crucial for overcoming the uncanny valley and achieving perceptual realism. Person-agnostic methods recover static 3D avatars from monocular images, videos, or text prompts, but their skeleton-driven animations lack realistic surface dynamics such as clothing wrinkles. In contrast, person-specific methods achieve high-quality rendering and realistic dynamics, but require expensive multi-view captures for each individual. Recent generalizable dynamic avatar methods struggle to embed surface dynamics, leading to either limited multi-view consistency or dynamic expressiveness. To this end, we propose AvatarDynamizer, a generative method that transforms an off-the-shelf static 3D avatar into a controllable, realistic, and multi-view-consistent 4D avatar. We introduce a novel texture-space surface-dynamics embedding and formulate avatar dynamics modeling as conditional texture generation. Our encoder--decoder representation embeds pose-dependent dynamics into dynamic texture maps, enabling compatibility with pre-trained video diffusion models while decoding them into 3D Gaussians for multi-view consistent rendering. Since existing datasets are limited in scale, sequence length, or motion diversity, we collect a large-scale multi-view dataset with long sequences covering diverse skeletal motions and surface dynamics. Experiments show that our method effectively animates static avatars with faithful surface dynamics and outperforms competing generalizable methods in visual fidelity, especially under limited dynamic training data.

Multi-view computer vision pipelines typically rely on accurate sparse keypoints and robust descriptors. While incorporating line features has shown clear benefits for matching and pose estimation, existing point-line approaches remain inefficient: they detect points and lines separately, use increasingly heavy networks, and depend on CPU-bound heuristics that hinder real-time performance. We introduce a Unified Efficient Points and Lines (UPAL) feature extractor that jointly extracts keypoints, line segments, and feature descriptors within a single lightweight architecture. A shared backbone provides common representations that feed different branches for point and line features. Line segments are recovered through an accelerated post-processing stage, an enhanced and highly efficient variant of the LSD algorithm. UPAL matches or exceeds state-ofthe-art performance in both point and line applications while significantly reducing computational cost, achieving, for instance, a 4x speedup and 10x smaller memory footprint over the ALIKED + DeepLSD pipeline. Code is publicly available at https://github.com/francois141/upal.

This paper presents a novel data-driven approach to camera-based autonomy for micro-drones in GPS-denied, radio-challenging indoor environments. The target application is disaster and emergency response, where micro-UAVs can provide rapid situational awareness in hazardous settings such as firefighting and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) incidents while reducing risk for human responders. When the communication link is lost, the micro-drone uses a learned yaw controller to autonomously navigate toward open space, preserving onboard sensor data that would otherwise be lost with the vehicle. A custom micro-drone equipped with a 360-degree camera was used to record diverse industrial, underground, and training scenarios representative of communication-denied field operations. We introduce a preprocessing pipeline that converts equirectangular 360-degree footage into planar front views and dynamically generates image-label pairs for AI training. We then train and compare multiple convolutional neural network variants that predict a continuous yaw command from a single monocular view. Evaluation on a held-out test set confirms the feasibility of the learned yaw-prediction approach. A semi-autonomous real-world test further demonstrates the practicality of the method while revealing key failure modes, particularly reflections and glare.

Single-shot exposure correction aims to map an arbitrarily degraded image---whether under-exposed, over-exposed, or a spatial mixture of both---to a well-exposed output from a single capture. We present AutoLumNet, a framework that decomposes this task into a global monotone tone curve and a bounded local residual, making the global component the locus of formal guarantees. The tone curve is parameterized as the normalized cumulative integral of a strictly positive density, ensuring strict monotonicity by construction rather than by penalty. We prove that this parameterization (i)~preserves the pairwise luminance ordering of all pixels and all spatial extrema unconditionally, and (ii)~is dense in the space of valid tone corrections, containing the one-dimensional optimal-transport map from the input to any target luminance distribution. A differentiable sorted-sample Wasserstein-2 objective drives the learned curve toward the OT optimum during training. Spatially varying effects that the global map provably cannot address---local shading, chrominance shifts, and clipped-region restoration---are handled by a bounded residual decoder with dual-branch convex fusion, for which we provide an explicit sufficient condition for local order preservation. Experiments on five benchmarks (MSEC, SICE, LCDP, LOL-v1, LOL-v2-real) show that AutoLumNet achieves state-of-the-art PSNR and SSIM across both under- and over-exposure regimes at 11.2\,ms per frame, and generalizes zero-shot to pure low-light benchmarks without retraining. To our knowledge, AutoLumNet is the first exposure-correction method to unite structural monotonicity, optimal-transport optimality, and bounded local adaptivity within a single trainable architecture.

To prevent the adoption of aesthetically polished but pedagogically flawed AI content, we study a video authoring pipeline featuring two layers of structured refusal. The first layer empowers educators to iteratively reshape AI scripts based on multimedia learning theory, while the second employs automated metrics to flag violations in instructional coherence and narrative-visual synchronization. While neither layer is exhaustive, their synergy ensures that principled resistance--the act of deferring AI output until it meets rigorous standards--becomes a catalyst for higher quality. Evaluation combining a study with 23 educators across 3 topics and automated metrics across 7 topics drawn from established science and philosophy curricula shows that both layers independently improve the same instructional dimensions, suggesting that thoughtful resistance and generative AI are not opposites but partners.

Trustworthy multimodal fusion in clinical settings requires handling incomplete and heterogeneous modality subsets across institutions, where privacy constraints prohibit centralized data sharing. Federated learning (FL) mitigates data-sharing constraints but suffers from client-specific missing modalities, where institutions possess incomplete multimodal subsets, degrading fusion quality and segmentation performance. While FL and weak supervision have been studied separately, their joint use with image-level labels under heterogeneous missing modalities remains unaddressed. We propose \textbf{MOSAIC}, the first modality-agnostic federated framework for weakly supervised binary tumor segmentation under client-specific missing modalities. We introduce a client-specific modality-alignment module that fuses available channels into a shared latent space without prior knowledge of modality identity, a spectral prototype alignment loss that reconciles cross-client distribution shift using compact non-invertible frequency-domain statistics, and a dedicated federated refinement network that denoises the resulting CAM pseudo-labels into accurate masks, breaking the accuracy ceiling of weak supervision. Experiments on three multi-institutional brain tumor benchmarks (FeTS2022, BraTS-MEN, and BraTS-SSA) demonstrate significant improvements over all image, box, and point-supervised baselines, approaching fully supervised accuracy using only image-level labels and reaching 0.84 Dice on FeTS2022. Dynamic new client addition enables previously unseen institutions to join an already-trained federation within 0.01-0.04 Dice without retraining.

Fast and accurate segmentation of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) lesions is essential for stroke prognosis and treatment planning. Non-contrast CT (NCCT), the first-line imaging modality for diagnosing ischemic infarcts, exhibits subtle infarct contrast, making manual delineation slow and labor-intensive. Motivated by this, and by the clinical practice of comparing brain hemispheres to localize infarcts, we propose a two-stage, nnU-Net-compatible 3D segmentation method. The first stage corrects head tilt to align each scan to its true anatomical mid-sagittal plane; the second applies a novel Asymmetric Feature Extraction (AsymFeX) module, comparing each voxel to its true contralateral counterpart within a local 3 x 3 x 3 neighborhood via cross-hemispheric attention, feature disparity estimation, and dual-scale gating to capture both large and small infarcts. On AISD, our method achieves 0.6796 Dice, 23.53 mm HD95, and 7.69 mL AVD, significantly outperforming existing state-of-the-art methods, with clinically relevant volumetric analysis at the 70 mL thrombolysis-eligibility threshold. Proof-of-concept evaluation on ATLAS v2.1 and ISLES'24 demonstrates that the same symmetry-driven design generalizes across imaging modalities and stroke time points without architectural changes, further supported by an uncertainty analysis assessing reliability under clinical deployment.

Self-supervised pretraining on remote sensing imagery typically treats all samples as equally informative, despite large variability in geographic and visual structure. We propose a curriculum learning strategy for self-supervised Earth observation that ranks samples by geographic isolation, a label-free proxy derived entirely from geolocation metadata already present in geospatial datasets, requiring no image decoding, no model feedback, and no manual annotation. Unlike visual complexity proxies, it scales as O(D log D) with dataset size D and is well-defined for both contrastive and reconstructive objectives. We integrate the proposed measure into MoCoV2 and MAE pretraining and evaluate across three downstream tasks from CopernicusBench (BigEarthNet, DFC-2020, LCZ). Our curriculum reaches baseline final-epoch performance using as few as 20% of the training budget (MAE) and at most 40% (MoCo) of the training budget, and improves final downstream performance by up to +5 mAP on BigEarthNet, with gains of 1-5 points across benchmarks, matching visual-complexity curricula while reducing pre-computation cost by more than 140x (4 s vs. 568 s on SSL4EO). A CKA and effective-rank analysis further reveals that curriculum-trained encoders develop higher-dimensional, more uniformly utilized embedding spaces throughout training.

We describe our entry to the PhysAI Dynamic 4D Reconstruction Challenge, which placed third of 27 teams at 0.58356 APD on the final leaderboard, without a single gradient update. This was not the plan: of thirteen fine-tuning configurations of a pre-trained 4D backbone, twelve degraded the challenge score, and eleven of those twelve improved local validation at the same time. We trace this inversion to the structure of the benchmark: only 25% of the evaluation set belongs to the data variant released for training, so updates that fit the available data damage the pre-trained features the remaining 75% relies on. Our system therefore freezes the backbone and spends its budget at inference time, fusing three decoding configurations -- temporal stride-3, horizontal-flip test-time augmentation, and dense stride-1 -- under a convex weighting. The ensemble recovers +0.041 APD over the frozen baseline, more than any training run achieved, at zero training cost.

Multimodal LLMs can see a document, but they often can't read it reliably. Small text, tables, visual cues, and topological elements still trip them up under direct visual inference, even when the page is already sitting in the model's context. Most document-VQA systems treat perception as fixed: they encode the page once, ask the question, and answer from whatever the model happened to extract in that single fast pass. We think document VQA needs slower, more deliberate perception: rather than answering from one fixed encoding, the model should spend a bit of extra compute at inference time working out what to look at next, and only then answer. We build this into \textbf{Q-Guide}, a small agent that reads a question, works out what evidence it is still missing, and calls targeted tool(s) to recover it---reading text where text is needed, zooming in where detail is needed, or grounding a region where position matters. On DocVQA2026 and Manga109, Q-Guide outperforms both direct prompting and recent multi-agent document systems ($65.0\%$ vs.\ $40.0\%$ on DocVQA2026, $32.4\%$ vs.\ $24.4\%$ on Manga109), and the improvement holds across three Claude backbones (Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, and Opus 4.5). We find that accuracy scales with the perception budget---most of the gain appears within two to three deliberate rounds---and that the gain comes from directing perception to the right place, not from complex control logic: adding planners, routers, or multiple collaborating agents does not help.

Full-cycle biventricular geometry is essential for characterizing cardiac function. However, dense and temporally consistent 3D+t biventricular meshes are not routinely available, whereas end-diastolic (ED) anatomy can often be obtained reliably. We therefore investigate full-cycle biventricular motion synthesis from a single ED mesh. This task is challenging because cardiac deformation is spatially heterogeneous and phenotype dependent, while conventional global generative models often obscure localized motion patterns. In this study, we propose a region-specific and phenotype-adaptive framework that integrates motion-informed functional parcellation with conditional latent flow. A functional partition learned from reconstructed motion organizes the ventricular surface into regions with coherent dynamics and enables topology-aware regional feature exchange. A phenotype-conditioned rectified-flow model subsequently maps the ED anatomy to full-cycle motion latents through fine-grained conditioning and prototype-routed motion adapters. An optional control branch further incorporates available motion descriptors for controllable synthesis. Experiments on ACDC, M\&Ms, and M\&Ms-2 demonstrate consistent improvements in geometric accuracy and functional fidelity. Under ED-only synthesis, our method achieves biventricular ASSD, HD95, and vRMSE of \(1.49\pm0.34\)~mm, \(3.77\pm1.06\)~mm, and \(3.31\pm1.03\)~mm, respectively, outperforming all competing methods. Complementary functional and robustness evaluations further demonstrate that the synthesized sequences preserve physiologically plausible ventricular dynamics and generalize across cohorts and disease phenotypes. The code will be released publicly upon acceptance of the manuscript for publication.

Vision-language-model-based embodied agents can complete instructed tasks but often violate safety constraints in the process, a problem recently framed as interactive safety. Training such agents to act safely is difficult, since safety and task success are distinct objectives, and safety arises only at a small number of safety-critical steps within a trajectory. Standard supervision is insufficient: imitating safe trajectories teaches behavior without explaining why it is safe, and contrasting arbitrary safe and unsafe trajectories mixes the safety signal with unrelated differences. We propose SafeBranch, a framework that aligns an embodied actor on safety through branch pairs constructed from the actor's own unsafe rollouts via environment rollback. SafeBranch rolls each unsafe rollout back to the safety-critical step that caused the violation, queries the actor for a safe alternative, and pairs the original action with the alternative so that the two branches differ only at that step. The trained actor acts safely at deployment with no critic in the loop. On IS-Bench, SafetyALFRED, and out-of-distribution variants with unseen tasks and objects, it handles safety reliably without sacrificing task success, achieving roughly ten times more safe successes than the untrained baseline on the unseen-object variant.

Reference-based diffusion stylization requires separating target geometry from transferable appearance. Existing tuning-based methods often rely on aligned content-style-target triplets or auxiliary visual encoders, which increases data cost and can transfer unintended scene structure from the style reference. We propose SEFS (Style-Encoder-Free Stylization), a style-encoder-free conditioning framework for diffusion transformers. SEFS forms style tokens from stochastic low-resolution crops of single training images. This crop bottleneck preserves local appearance statistics such as palette, stroke, texture, and material, while reducing access to global layout cues. Target content is encoded by edge and segmentation cues and fused with the noisy latent through parameter-efficient trainable projections. We add style-to-denoising re-normalization for token-statistic alignment and cross-block skip fusion for spatial detail. SEFS trains on unpaired single images; the frozen diffusion VAE is used only to place image conditions in the latent space. On artistic stylization benchmarks, SEFS improves content consistency and leakage diagnostics while retaining reference-style affinity, and ablations support the crop-resolution, re-normalization, and skip-fusion choices. The code of SEFS will be made publicly available.

Reliable underwater robotic perception remains difficult because optical imagery degrades under turbidity, wavelength-dependent attenuation, low illumination, scattering, and blur. Although sonar provides complementary information that is less affected by optical visibility, prior visual-sonar research has largely focused on feature alignment and nominal detection performance. We investigate cross-modal robustness as visual reliability deteriorates and assess whether pretrained visual foundation-model representations can be complemented by sonar under severe degradation. We use frozen DINOv2 as the visual encoder and construct a controlled five-level benchmark ranging from clean to extreme visual conditions. We compare conventional visual detection, frozen foundation-model representations, sonar context, fixed multimodal fusion, clean-trained adaptive gating, and degradation-aware gated fusion. Our method trains the fusion mechanism across the full range of degradation while keeping the visual and sonar encoders frozen, allowing modality contributions to adapt without fine-tuning the pretrained backbone. Under extreme combined degradation, the DINOv2 baseline achieves 0.4610 balanced accuracy, while degradation-aware visual-sonar fusion reaches 0.6152, a 33.5% relative improvement. The learned sonar contribution increases from 14.2% under clean conditions to 41.3% under extreme degradation, demonstrating adaptive redistribution of cross-modal reliance. Fusion provides the largest gains under severe turbidity and blur, whereas color attenuation alone yields little additional benefit. These results show that foundation-model representations remain valuable but insufficient under severe information loss, and that explicitly adapting fusion to modality reliability can improve robust underwater multimodal perception.

Sparse keypoint extraction and matching underpin core tasks in geometric computer vision, including structure-from-motion, visual SLAM, augmented reality, and medical image registration. Learning robust local feature representations, however, typically requires accurate camera poses or depth supervision, which are often unavailable in real-world settings. Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently emerged as a promising alternative, requiring only the information if two images show the same scene or not. However, existing RL formulations such as RIPE rely on coarse binary rewards and carefully constructed negative training pairs, limiting training stability and descriptor discriminability. In this paper, we revisit RL-based keypoint learning and propose a reward that fully exploits the geometric consistency signal, deriving both reward and penalty from a single positive pair without contrasting against negatives. This richer signal provides sufficient supervisory contrast to learn discriminative detectors and descriptors from positive image pairs alone, enabling representation learning under extremely limited supervision. Furthermore, we show that the same RL objective can be extended to the matching stage by adapting LightGlue, raising AUC@5 on MegaDepth1500 from 56.58 to 59.65 and enabling weakly-supervised training of the full sparse matching pipeline from image pairs with partial visual overlap. We validate our approach on established benchmarks, demonstrating competitive results compared to fully-supervised methods. We further show that the method can be even trained on low texture medical video sequences, where camera poses are usually unavailable and standard SfM pipelines often fail.

Deep learning-based whole-body PET-CT lesion segmentation can support cancer staging, treatment planning, and response assessment, but generalization is limited by scarce annotations and domain shifts. Self-supervised learning (SSL) can address these challenges but remains underexplored in pan-cancer, multi-tracer PET-CT. In this work, we propose MUST-PET (MUltimodal Self-Supervised learning across Tracers), a multimodal, multi-tracer SSL framework for generalizable whole-body PET-CT lesion segmentation. MUST-PET is trained and validated on a diverse, multi-institutional collection of pan-cancer PET-CT scans acquired with FDG and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radiotracers. MUST-PET uses context-aware masked reconstruction, where one modality is partially masked and reconstructed using complementary information from both PET and CT. The pretrained model is subsequently fine-tuned with labeled samples and evaluated for reconstruction quality, lesion segmentation, label efficiency, and generalizability across independent held-out datasets. MUST-PET reduces reconstruction error, improves lesion segmentation over training from scratch, and performs well with limited labeled data and on unseen external datasets, demonstrating the potential of multi-tracer SSL for label-efficient, generalizable whole-body PET-CT. segmentation.

To address this issue, this paper constructs the first possession-level basketball video dataset (PL-NBA), in which each sample is composed of a complete NBA offensive possession. Collected from 60 NBA games, PL-NBA contains 11,000 valid offensive possession clips and 31,567 annotated events with player names, captions, event types and timestamps. Each video clip includes multiple events and preserves the continuity of events, which is helpful for analysis of tactic. Experiment is conducted on multiple visual understanding tasks, including event recognition, video captioning, temporal action localization and action anticipation. Experimental results show that existing methods achieve limited performance on above four tasks, demonstrating that PL-NBA is a challenging benchmark for sports video understanding.

Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) incur high memory traffic and energy costs because sampling repeatedly evaluates large denoisers dominated by linear operations. Analog compute-in-memory (CIM) can alleviate these costs by executing linear operations within weight-storing memory arrays. However, CIM nonidealities perturb effective weights, with errors accumulating along the state-dependent denoising trajectory; their interaction with classifier-free guidance (CFG) remains underexplored. In this paper, we characterize the impact of analog CIM nonidealities on DiT sampling. Although conditional and unconditional predictions can each remain close to their clean counterparts, their difference (the CFG residual) is disproportionately attenuated and rotated. Identifying this residual as a controllable failure channel, we propose a retraining-free, sampler-side recalibration that adjusts only the CFG scale for a given CIM condition. Trajectory-level analysis shows that moderate recalibration strengthens the target-oriented component preserved in the distorted residual, enabling earlier commitment to a prompt-consistent semantic region. In contrast, excessive guidance amplifies the full noisy residual and degrades quality, resulting in a finite, noise-dependent optimum. Extensive experiments on PixArt-Sigma, PixArt-alpha, and DiT-XL/2 show that the optimal guidance scale increases with CIM noise. Using 30,000 samples per condition, guidance recalibration consistently restores generation quality across simulated CIM mappings, closing at least 87% of the CIM-induced FID gap at a CIM noise level of 0.20. It reduces FID from 59.22 to 20.49 on PixArt-Sigma, 72.37 to 21.12 on PixArt-alpha, and 20.89 to 6.62 on DiT-XL/2.

Streaming reconstruction of Free-Viewpoint Videos (FVVs) supports immersive Internet of Things (IoT) services, such as telepresence and digital twin visualization. Existing methods suffer from high per-frame optimization time and large storage footprints, limiting deployment on resource-constrained Edge-IoT devices. To address these challenges, we propose Structured Sparse Gaussian Streaming (S$^2$GS), an FVV reconstruction framework that exploits structure-aware temporal sparsity to selectively update Gaussian residuals, enabling efficient streaming without compromising visual fidelity. In the spatial domain, a streaming octree hierarchically organizes Gaussian residuals, capturing spatial correlations that guide residual updates. In the temporal domain, a structured gating mechanism, comprising hierarchical feature propagation (HFP) and Gumbel-Sigmoid sampling, converts hierarchical dynamic cues into sparse residual update decisions under differentiable optimization. A multi-level discrete scheme is further adopted to provide fine-grained control over residual updates while preserving intricate dynamic details. Extensive experiments across consumer GPUs, industrial edge IoT devices, and a physical telepresence testbed demonstrate that S$^2$GS consistently reduces per-frame optimization time and storage footprint while maintaining competitive visual quality. Compared with QUEEN, S$^2$GS reduces per-frame optimization time by 59% and storage costs by 85% on an RTX 4090 GPU. On the Jetson AGX Orin, S$^2$GS delivers the highest rendering throughput (60+ FPS) and the lowest energy consumption among the evaluated methods, demonstrating its potential for deployment in resource-constrained systems.

Text editing in product posters entails inserting new text or replacing existing text while preserving product appearance, background content, and global composition. Despite recent progress in instruction-based image editing, general-purpose models remain unreliable in this setting: they often omit or incorrectly render the target text, place it over salient products or pre-existing content, and produce structurally distorted or visually inconsistent glyphs. We introduce \textbf{TextRefine}, a task-aligned post-training framework that combines supervised fine-tuning with operation-specific reward optimization to address these complementary failure modes. For text insertion, our text-span-level reward jointly assesses semantic fidelity and target-span coverage, penalizes spatial conflicts with products and existing text, and employs a gated structural constraint to preserve non-text regions. For text replacement, our glyph-level reward leverages the connectionist temporal classification (CTC) posterior of the target character to provide graded supervision for fine-grained defects, including missing strokes, structural deformations, and confusion among visually similar characters. We further introduce \textbf{OpenTextEdit}, a dataset comprising 100K images for text editing in product posters, with multi-text layouts, detailed text attributes, product masks, and challenging low-frequency characters. Extensive experiments on both insertion and replacement demonstrate that TextRefine consistently outperforms the evaluated image editing baselines in textual fidelity, placement reliability, and glyph quality while better preserving source-image content.

Latent Action Models (LAMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm for enabling robot learning to leverage large-scale unlabeled videos through latent actions that serve as compact surrogates for physical actions. Despite rapid progress, research on LAM remains highly fragmented, with existing methods evaluating different design choices in isolation under inconsistent experimental settings, making it difficult to identify the factors that truly determine downstream robotic manipulation performance. In this work, we present the first comprehensive empirical study of latent action learning for robotic manipulation. We unify representative LAM methods within a common autoencoding framework and systematically investigate 41 LAM design choices across three dimensions, including latent action modeling paradigms, learning objectives and regularization methods, and latent action integration strategies. We further examine four proxy metrics for evaluating latent action quality and assess their ability to reliably predict downstream robotic manipulation performance. Extensive experiments on three widely used benchmarks provide strong empirical evidence that fine-tuning vision-language model (VLM) backbones with latent actions provides a stronger initialization for downstream policy learning, with further validation on real-world robot manipulation tasks.

Vessel trajectory prediction is critical for maritime safety and accident prevention. While most existing trajectory prediction models rely on Automatic Identification System (AIS) data due to its precision and availability, small vessels mostly operate without AIS, resulting in a significant monitoring gap. To address this, we propose Mix&Fix-Net, a dual-stage mixer-based trajectory prediction model designed to handle vessel trajectory time-series data derived from both AIS and (non-AIS) vision data. Our architecture integrates a Primary Trajectory Predictor with a Residual Trajectory Adjuster, enabling more refined trajectory prediction. Additionally, we introduce a new video-based dataset derived from webcam streams, from which vessel trajectories are extracted to represent non-AIS data. Extensive evaluations on both AIS and non-AIS datasets across six metrics (mean squared error, mean absolute error, symmetric mean absolute percentage error, final displacement error, Frechet distance, and average Euclidean distance) demonstrate that Mix&Fix-Net consistently outperforms existing baselines across most metrics and datasets.

While text-to-3D generation has advanced rapidly, achieving high geometric fidelity at low inference cost remains challenging. Existing text-to-3D methods either decode discrete shape tokens autoregressively or iteratively refine global 3D representations with diffusion or flow models. However, autoregressive decoding is sequential and cannot revise errors, whereas diffusion and flow-matching models repeatedly process the full representation, making high-quality generation increasingly expensive. In this paper, we propose Block3D, a block-wise diffusion framework that partitions the discrete shape-token sequence into contiguous blocks, generates the blocks autoregressively, and jointly denoises all tokens within the current block. To alleviate error accumulation, we introduce confidence-guided intra-block correction, which revises low-confidence tokens before each block is finalized. On a held-out set from TRELLIS-500K, Block3D reduces mean end-to-end generation time from 25.71 seconds to 4.99 seconds, achieving a $5.15\times$ speedup over the fine-tuned autoregressive baseline without sacrificing geometric fidelity.

Streaming autoregressive diffusion models enable real-time, long-horizon video generation, but their training objectives optimize local frame prediction rather than the geometry and dynamics of a coherent world: long rollouts accumulate geometric drift and degrade into static or unnatural motion. Recent bidirectional approaches address this problem using rewards signals built upon 3D Gaussian-Splatting reconstruction. However, a single rigid 3d reconstruction cannot model a dynamic scene, so this critic penalizes genuine object motion as reconstruction error and is maximized by freezing the video. This shortcut is especially detrimental in the AR setting, where each chunk can propagate an already-static configuration. In this work, we propose Stream4D, which replaces the static critic with a feed-forward 4D reconstruction reward that explicitly models scene dynamics, allowing coherent motion to receive high consistency rewards. To further guide motion magnitude and quality, we add a motion prior that rewards natural scene-flow magnitude while penalizing jitter and non-rigid artifacts. Our final recipe combines these two terms with a lightweight perceptual anchor. Across various autoregressive video backbones and various generation horizons, Stream4D improves 4D reconstruction quality, preserves motion more effectively, and achieves higher human-aligned preference.

Vision--language models can identify the correct referent while returning an imprecise bounding box. We study whether a frozen direct-answer model can use its own prediction to allocate one additional localized observation without accessing target annotations at inference. Label-free precision refinement (LFPR) routes predicted-small regions to a higher-resolution pass, re-grounds the expression inside a context crop, admits a candidate only under fixed geometric guards, and returns a fixed coordinate-wise midpoint. We report results across three evidence tiers. On 31,921 retrospective Ref-L4 expressions, LFPR raises mAcc$_{0.5:0.95}$ from 72.947\% to 76.013\% (Acc@0.5 88.531\%$\to$89.725\%, Acc@0.9 55.788\%$\to$61.142\%). A frozen transfer to 30,969 RefCOCO/RefCOCO+/RefCOCOg expressions improves every dataset at Acc@0.5, mAcc, and mean IoU (pooled mAcc $+0.645$, Acc@0.5 $+0.817$), while Acc@0.9 is unchanged overall: routing alone gains $+1.162$ points there, but crop, guards, and fusion give back $-1.192$, offsetting rather than showing no strict-IoU effect. A prospective, image-disjoint Flickr30K Entities evaluation improves every endpoint (mAcc $+0.973$, Acc@0.9 $+1.022$), more strongly under a single-box variant (mAcc $+2.575$, Acc@0.9 $+3.689$). The same operator applied to two released grounding specialists improves every endpoint (Acc@0.9 $+1.569$/$+6.716$ for EGM-4B/8B) at roughly twice the latency, composing with specialist training rather than replacing it. A genuine unguarded control (guard removed from the same candidates) underperforms the incumbent on every metric, showing the guard is load-bearing. Together, these results show that referent selection and boundary precision are partially separable, with different components moving opposing regions of the IoU curve -- behavior a single threshold cannot reveal.

Training fast generators on new domains with limited data remains challenging for two reasons. First, adapting a pretrained diffusion or flow model to a new domain leaves its costly multi-step sampling unaddressed, and existing acceleration methods are tied to the source parameterization--$ε$, $x$, $v$, or $u$--leaving heterogeneous pretrained models with no common acceleration target. Second, while adversarial refinement is proven effective for few-step quality, it is formulated only for instantaneous-velocity flows, not for the finite-interval average velocities that MeanFlow (MF) models predict. We address both problems. We propose MeanFlow-Transfer, which maps heterogeneous source outputs into a shared velocity representation, uses it to initialize an MF generator from the source weights, and optimizes an MF objective on the target domain. This unifies adaptation and acceleration in a single training loop across a broad range of pretrained models. We then introduce Continuous Adversarial MeanFlow, a post-training stage that extends continuous adversarial flow models from instantaneous velocities to MF's finite-interval average velocities. CAMF contrasts changes in a learned potential between real and predicted interval endpoints, recovering fine detail that MF regression averages away, and reduces to the instantaneous criterion in the vanishing-interval limit. Adapting four ImageNet-based source models--DiT ($ε$), SiT ($v$), JiT ($x$), iMF ($u$)--to five target domains, MF-T with CAMF matches or exceeds the fine-tuned teacher in FID and FDD at up to $125\times$ fewer Neural Function Evaluations (NFEs), while CAMF improves MF-T's few-step FID by $29\%$ on average.

Scan-to-map LiDAR odometry drifts unboundedly along the unobservable axes of geometrically degenerate environments like tunnels and corridors, and existing degeneracy handling requires environment-specific parameter tuning. This paper presents a parameter-free approach. We show that in voxelized GICP the Gauss--Newton (GN) Hessian masks translational degeneracy, because covariance regularization keeps the translation block artificially well-conditioned. We bypass this with a regularization-free voxel-normal localizability field and two of its statistics: a normalized fraction $f_0$ detecting directional anisotropy, and an absolute per-voxel mass $λ_0$ distinguishing information absence (tunnels) from dilution (dense open scenes). A temporal-median gate combines both to trigger Fisher-information correspondence weighting. Calibrated once by fixed rules on two short sequences and then frozen, LF-GICP achieves the lowest KITTI relative translation error ($0.865\%$) under an identical evaluation protocol against re-run baselines, outperforms them on GEODE tunnels and MulRan, leads the HeLiPR mean, and generalizes across four sensor types without re-tuning. We further demonstrate empirically that straight, uniform tunnels remain unobservable along their axis for LiDAR-only registration.

We propose a conditioning mechanism for diffusion models based on multi-speed joint diffusion of the target and the condition. The mechanism learns an unconditional joint score network and enforces conditioning at inference via a plug-in correction term. The plug-in term separates the conditioning contribution from the learned unconditional dynamics, offering a transparent view of how the condition steers generation of the target distribution. Building on this, we derive explicit conditional reverse-time SDEs and approximate probability-flow ODEs, enabling principled and directly comparable conditional samplers. To reduce the induced ODE--SDE discrepancy, we introduce a log-Fokker--Planck residual regularization that improves ODE sampling quality. Experiments on conditional image generation tasks demonstrate competitive performance and support the effectiveness of the plug-in conditioning view. Additional ODE--SDE comparison experiments show that the log-Fokker--Planck residual regularization improves deterministic ODE sampling.

State-of-the-art vision-language-action (VLA) models such as $π_{0.5}$ exhibit strong semantic understanding, instruction following and task behavior. However, when deployed on new robots, even minor mismatches in hardware configuration relative to pretraining can cause severe performance drops. Finetuning the VLA on in-domain expert data from the new embodiment improves performance on the expert task but leads to a loss in its original instruction following and behavioral priors. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised method that generates online interaction rollouts from the zero-shot VLA as additional training data for finetuning. Our experiments show this finetuning scheme yields strong multi-task policies that, on the target robot, (1) inherit prior tasks distilled from the zero-shot model, (2) enable generalist instruction following, while (3) learning new skills from expert data with improved sample efficiency. We demonstrate the success of our approach across test sets probing generalization on a real ALOHA robot and a new simulation benchmark in RoboTwin.

Human pose estimation has advanced significantly due to the development of deep learning models, increased data availability, and improved computing resources. These developments have led to highly accurate body tracking systems with direct applications in sports analysis and performance evaluation. The VideoRun2D Demo performs a biomechanical analysis during sprints using different human pose estimators. The proposed framework was evaluated using human pose trackers and expert manual annotations. The tested framework uses 314 sprints from 44 professional runners, focusing on two key joint angles in sprint biomechanics: 1) hip flexion/extension and 2) knee flexion/extension. The framework also includes a post-processing module for outlier detection. The tested results demonstrate that the average root-mean-square errors range from 11.46° to 5.83° for the best trackers. When integrated with the post-processing modules, these errors can be reduced to 9.87° and 5.30°, respectively. The VideoRun2D Demo findings suggest that human pose-tracking approaches can be valuable resources for the biomechanical analysis of running.

Deep Learning models can include billions of parameters or more, making it difficult to explain their internal transformations and outputs. However, explainability is increasing in importance due to the use of AI in crucial applications. This paper focuses on the interpretability of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Building on the popular gradient based method LayerCAM for extracting internal features in CNNs, we propose an improved method named HiRA-CAM, and show that it outperforms both LayerCAM and Grad-CAM on creating useful saliency maps for object classification. The main feature of HiRA-CAM is its adaptive use of activation maps from all the layers of the CNN to arrive at a more focused saliency map.

Historical Arabic manuscript transcription is not only a recognition problem. A usable scholarly system must cope with shifting hands and layouts, preserve uncertain readings, distinguish visual evidence from linguistic plausibility, and record the researcher's final decision. We present Phoenix, a 4.99-million-parameter CNN-BiLSTM-CTC recognizer, and Athar, an evidence-aware review workflow built around it. Phoenix is adapted across archival, Maghrebi, and historical manuscript domains using document-aware replay, an expanded 81-symbol codec, and forgetting guards that reject checkpoints that improve a new domain at unacceptable cost to previous domains. In a pre-specified held-out comparison against the preceding checkpoint, frozen before evaluation and scored with greedy decoding and raw references, Phoenix reduced CER from 22.12% to 17.86% on 10,594 Agapet lines and from 17.72% to 11.84% on 11,684 Omar lines, while regressing from 10.39% to 10.72% on 164 TariMa lines. Across the two large held-out sets, character-weighted CER fell from 19.98% to 14.93%, a 25.3% relative error reduction. A separate same-protocol development diagnostic found the lowest CER for Phoenix on four of four comparable domains (9.59% unweighted macro CER). An N-best diagnostic revealed a 2.15-point oracle gap between beam decoding and Oracle@25, while neural text rerankers, consensus MBR, CTC-posterior quality estimation, and local pre-CTC hidden-state quality estimation recovered less than 4% of this gap. Athar therefore preserves the visual reading, exposes bounded alternatives, uses local language models conservatively, retrieves source parallels with unique, ambiguous, or abstain states, and exports auditable TEI and PAGE-XML records. The results support evaluating manuscript HTR as auditable evidence management rather than silent text replacement.

While modern autonomous driving systems excel at perception tasks such as object detection and trajectory prediction, they lack the high-level causal reasoning required to interpret traffic accidents. In particular, determining responsibility, such as identifying who is at fault and which traffic rule was violated, remains largely unexplored in current benchmarks. To this end, we introduce CAViAR (Causal Accident Video and Incident Analysis Repository), a human-annotated dashcam benchmark comprising 2,249 real-world accident videos collected from CarCrashDataset (CCD) and Nexar. Each video is annotated with structured labels spanning environmental conditions, accident type, causal explanation, apparent At-Fault Agent, affected agent, and apparent rule-violation category. We benchmark state-of-the-art vision-language models (VLMs), including Cosmos-Reason2, Qwen3-VL, and InternVL3. Once class imbalance is accounted for with majority/random baselines and balanced metrics, perceptual competence is uneven--lighting is nearly solved, whereas weather and road-condition accuracy fall at or below the majority-class baseline---and all models degrade sharply on accident type and responsibility reasoning. Overall, CAViAR exposes a practical Perception--Reasoning Gap: current VLMs may recognize salient context, but do not reliably map visible agent actions to annotated rule-relevant responsibility categories in safety-critical driving scenarios.

Educational visual question answering, or VQA, requires models to solve curriculum-oriented multiple-choice questions using both language and visual evidence. Compared with conventional open-ended VQA, educational examples often include structured assessment metadata, diagrams or image contexts, and semantically close answer options, creating strong opportunities for question-option shortcuts. We develop and evaluate a parameter-efficient adaptation framework for a frozen multimodal large language model in this setting. We introduce GRACE, Grounded Reasoning via Adapter Composition and Evidence-Aware Calibration, a framework that uses the pedagogical state of each question to specialize lightweight language and vision adaptation. The state combines inference-visible subject, grouped skill, grade, visual-context, question-intent, and option-structure cues. GRACE uses factor-specific prompts and lightweight visual adapters, then applies evidence-aware option calibration to score all candidates under a shared multimodal context. On ScienceQA, GRACE improves a shared-adapter baseline from 90.5 percent to 93.1 percent overall accuracy and from 88.7 percent to 91.2 percent on image-context questions. Removing pedagogical composition, option calibration, or the visual adapter reduces overall accuracy by 1.4, 1.0, and 1.5 points, respectively. These controlled results show that structured educational state is an effective routing signal for parameter-efficient multimodal adaptation.

Medical image captioning is a technique that accelerates early-stage diagnostic workflows and enhances the interpretability of medical diagnostic AI systems. However, unlike general image captioning, clinically reliable captioning remains challenging due to grayscale-based modalities, subtle anatomical cues, specialized medical phrasing, and variations in data quality. Despite recent advances in large vision-language models, fluent outputs do not necessarily guarantee sufficient alignment with clinical concept spaces or evaluation criteria. To address this issue, we propose a framework that strengthens clinical alignment by separating and enhancing training-time alignment and inference-time alignment. We build a medical image captioning pipeline that integrates single/dual vision encoders based on BioMedCLIP and SigLIP2, a Q-Former, and a LLaMA-based decoder, and examine the contribution of auxiliary learning for UMLS concept/type prediction. At inference, we apply single-embedding-based reranking to select the best caption among candidates, while at training we introduce MedPAIR-SCST, which combines clinically relevant rewards to shift the generative distribution toward improved clinical alignment. Our experiments show that complementary visual representations with a multi-encoder design and concept-level auxiliary learning help preserve clinically meaningful information. Furthermore, inference-time reranking provides a practical way to improve semantic and clinical alignment without additional training, whereas MedPAIR-SCST goes beyond selection by directly improving the model's distribution to generate more consistent and clinically grounded captions. These findings suggest that jointly leveraging selection-based alignment and reinforcement-learning-based alignment can promote more trustworthy medical image captioning even in data-constrained settings.

Identity-preserving image generation becomes increasingly unreliable when a scene must contain many specified people. Beyond retaining each identity, the model must bind every reference to a distinct person and location, while training-time identity losses must establish correspondence among several noisy predicted faces. We introduce WithEveryone, a unified framework for generating group images up to ten reference identities. WithEveryone injects each selected identity as an addressed token, predicts a structured identity--layout plan, and renders the plan as a visual condition. Its key objective, Layout-Grounded ID Loss, uses annotated face regions to supervise the intended identities directly, avoiding unstable embedding-based face matching; ID Representation Forcing additionally trains a prediction for each identity before image synthesis. On an identity-disjoint benchmark, WithEveryone achieves the highest target-context identity similarity, improving face similarity from 0.462 for GPT-Image-2 to 0.499, while reducing copy-paste artifacts from 0.169 to 0.055. It further covers 97.3\% of the requested identities with a duplicate rate of only 2.8\%. These results show that explicit identity--layout grounding enables identity-preserving generation to scale to larger groups without relying on direct reference-face copying.
