PCTac: Mechanochromic Photonic-Crystal Tactile Sensor for Dexterous Manipulation

Ruilin Zhang, Xuanshuo Liu, Junzhe Dai, Kefei Wu, Xuhao Qin, Ziyuan Jiao, Wanlin Li, Yurui Qu 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Modern visuotactile sensors primarily sense contact by imaging the deformation of a compliant interface. Using techniques such as photometric stereo, they can recover detailed contact geometry, often represented as surface normals or depth. However, force-related information typically still needs to be inferred indirectly through calibration, geometric reconstruction, or learned mappings. Mechanochromic photonic-crystal (PC) materials offer an alternative physical encoding mechanism: contact loading changes their periodic microstructure and spectral response, directly transforming local stress into a spatially resolved structural-color field. Despite this potential, PC materials have rarely been explored as visuotactile sensors for closed-loop robot learning. We present PCTac, an open-source mechanochromic PC fingertip that uses a dense hue field as its tactile observation. Loading characterization demonstrates a repeatable relationship between the applied normal load and the observed hue response. We further integrate this representation directly into a Diffusion Policy and evaluate it on three real-robot manipulation tasks. Across 90 physical rollouts, PCTac Hue achieves 68 successes (75.6\%), compared with 60 (66.7\%) for PCTac RGB, 57 (63.3\%) for Wedge RGB, and 29 (32.2\%) for vision-only. PCTac Hue also achieves the highest observed success rate on each evaluated task, including Perturbed Test-Tube Insertion, where it achieves 16/30 successes versus 13/30 for tactile RGB baselines and 1/30 for vision-only. These results demonstrate the potential of mechanochromic structural color as a compact, load-sensitive tactile representation for robot learning and closed-loop manipulation.

Gradient-Flow Optimization as Dynamic Random-Effects Inference: Testing and Early Stopping with Applications to Deep Learning

Minhao Yao, Ruoyu Wang, Xihong Lin, Lin Liu, Zhonghua Liu

原文摘要

Gradient-flow optimization is usually viewed as an algorithmic procedure for minimizing empirical loss, with training duration selected by validation or heuristic early stopping rules. We develop a statistical inference framework for gradient-flow training. We show that whenever fitted values evolve through a time-invariant positive semidefinite training operator, the output at each time is equivalent to the best linear unbiased predictor under a corresponding random-effects model. Training time then becomes a variance-component parameter governing variance reallocation from residual noise to structured signal. This turns two training decisions into inferential problems: whether training is needed becomes a variance-component test for signal beyond initialization, and how long to train becomes restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimation of the training-time variance component. We show that the REML-guided early stopping rule selects the time at which optimized spectral losses become decorrelated from the training-operator eigenvalues. The asymptotic prediction optimality of the REML-guided early stopping time is established for fixed-design in-sample risk and random-design out-of-sample risk. Deep learning models in fixed-kernel gradient regimes provide canonical instantiations for our results. Numerical experiments and a UK Biobank proteomics application show competitive accuracy of the REML-guided early stopping time with reduced reliance on validation splits and repeated checkpoint evaluation.

Personalized Pricing with Invalid Instrumental Variables: Identification, Estimation, and Policy Learning

Rui Miao, Zhengling Qi, Cong Shi, Lin Lin

原文摘要

Pricing based on individual customer characteristics is widely used to maximize sellers' revenues. We study how a firm can learn such a personalized pricing policy from historical transactions when unobserved factors affect both the prices it charged and the revenue it earned. Standard instrumental variable (IV) methods either focus on a discrete treatment space or require that the IV affect revenue only through price. This exclusion restriction is difficult to justify in pricing, where the most natural candidate IVs are price-setting levers that may also affect revenue directly. We propose PRINT (Personalized pRicing using Invalid iNsTrumental variables), a policy learning method for continuous prices that uses such candidate IVs. Relying on structural models of revenue and price, we show that the optimal pricing policy can be identified with invalid IV that shifts higher moments of historical prices, when the unobserved factors that drive customers' price sensitivity are separated from those used by the historical pricing rule. Based on this identification, which leads to conditional moment restrictions with generalized residual functions, we construct an adversarial min-max estimator that accommodates flexible machine learning models and establish regret bounds for the learned pricing policy. Simulation studies and an application to a U.S. online auto lender illustrate the method's performance. Our results give a principled way to learn personalized prices from observational data using imperfect price-setting levers, and clarify when doing so is justified.

PINR-ESI: Physics-Informed Self-Supervised Implicit Neural Representation Framework for EEG Extended-Source Imaging

Zhiyong Zhou, Sheng Liao, Xiaolin Li, Youshen Xiao, Bin Dai, Surui Liu, Yakang Dai

原文摘要

EEG extended-source imaging aims to localize active cortical regions and characterize their spatial extent, yet supervised inverse networks typically depend on synthetic EEG-source pairs and may be sensitive to synthetic-to-real mismatch. We propose a physics-informed self-supervised implicit neural representation (INR) framework for spatial source reconstruction without paired source labels or simulation-based supervised pretraining. The lead field matrix encodes the source-to-sensor volume-conduction model and constrains the INR through agreement between predicted and measured EEG. Cortical current density is modeled as a continuous coordinate-conditioned field. A classical inverse estimate provides warm initialization and spatial constraints on source activity, while patch-integrated projection maps the field to discrete source coefficients for forward modeling. Simulations across varying noise levels, source extents, and source counts showed consistently low spatial dispersion and good localization performance. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations using real EEG recordings from epilepsy patients and intracranial stimulation experiments further supported the feasibility of the framework for source imaging. These findings suggest the potential of physics-informed self-supervised INR for extended-source imaging.

Seamless Reconfiguration for DAG-BFT (Technical Report)

Michael Yiqing Hu, Leander Jehl, Paul Franke-Bergmann, Jialin Li, Christian Berger

原文摘要

Byzantine Atomic Broadcast in Asynchronous networks has been studied extensively for decades. In a fully asynchronous system with even one possible crash failure, the FLP impossibility result rules out deterministic consensus, motivating randomized protocols that achieve termination with probability one. More recently, DAG-Rider popularized a new abstraction in which processes continuously reliably broadcast blocks to construct a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and then locally derive a total order using a randomized perfect coin. This separation of dissemination from ordering has renewed interest in asynchronous DAG-based Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) and inspired numerous protocols that improve expected latency or throughput. Reconfiguration, however, remains largely unexplored. Existing DAG-based BFT protocols generally assume a static set of processes, whereas deployed systems must occasionally add or remove nodes in response to operational demands. Existing solutions are not seamless; they either pause the system or delay membership changes until a predetermined epoch boundary. This may be impractical and can introduce downtime. A single agreed switching round is difficult to use seamlessly: by the time processes learn it, the dissemination layer may already have advanced beyond it. In this work, we present a seamless reconfiguration protocol for Asynchronous DAG-based Byzantine Atomic Broadcast. Our protocol allows the DAG to continue growing while the membership and corresponding quorum thresholds change, without halting the system. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first protocol to provide seamless reconfiguration for DAG-based Byzantine atomic broadcast in a fully asynchronous network.

DistDebug-Bench: Can LLM Agents Diagnose Bugs in Distributed Systems?

Yuxuan Jiang, Chenglin Liu, John Rose, Mason Miller, Ruthesh Thavamani, Juntao Wu, Yinwei Huang, Jiahao Xu 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

LLM agents show strong potential in software engineering tasks such as competitive programming and code synthesis. Existing benchmarks, however, largely focus on small-scale settings such as self-contained Python modules, leaving distributed systems, an essential class of production software, under-examined. We introduce DistDebug-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating agents' ability to diagnose complex-system failures at the code level. It curates 120 high-quality real-world bugs from 11 widely used distributed systems, spanning 5 programming languages and 10 failure patterns. Through an extensive evaluation of state-of-the-art LLMs and agents, we identify substantial gaps between current agents and real-world debugging tasks. A recurring gap is tunnel vision due to a lack of explicit reasoning structure and nondeterminism from inconsistent tool-use scope. The benchmark and evaluator are available at https://github.com/OrderLab/distdebug-bench, with agent traces and a leaderboard at https://distdebug.com.

Separation Is a Riesz Energy: How Many Environments Does ICA Need?

Yuda Bi, Yubo Guo, Jiaxiao Cai, Xiaonai Li, Zhuolin Li, Vince D. Calhoun

原文摘要

How many environments and samples does it take to separate $d$ Gaussian sources whose variances change across environments? Each source has a signature, its vector of variances. The Riesz $2$-energy $E_j$ of source $j$ sums the inverse Fisher informations for rotating it towards other sources. With known whitening, we prove a worst-case squared-angle risk lower bound of order $E_j/(n+E_j)$ for orthogonal estimators at every $n$ and $d$. A quadratic pencil given the signatures attains $E_j/n$ up to a constant above a separation-dependent sample threshold, even with estimated whitening. For well-spread signatures at fixed $K$, the energy grows as $d^2$, $d\log d$ and $d$ for $K=2$, $3$ and $K\ge4$, respectively. A design with $K\asymp\log d$ and pairwise Fisher information bounded below by a constant makes $d\log d$ samples sufficient. The eigenvectors of a single fixed linear combination have an average first-order error coefficient of at least order $d^2$. Simulations up to $d=1000$ support the first-order predictions, and on task fMRI the energy helps rank split-half instability.

Sparsity and Out-of-Distribution Generalization

Scott Aaronson, Lin Lin Lee, Jiawei Li

原文摘要

Explaining out-of-distribution generalization has been a central problem in epistemology since Goodman's "grue" puzzle in 1946. Today it's a central problem in machine learning, including AI alignment. Here we propose a principled account of OOD generalization with three main ingredients. First, the world is always presented to experience not as an amorphous mass, but via distinguished features (for example, visual and auditory channels). Second, Occam's Razor favors hypotheses that are "sparse," meaning that they depend on as few features as possible. Third, sparse hypotheses will generalize from a training to a test distribution, provided the two distributions sufficiently overlap on their restrictions to the features that are either actually relevant or hypothesized to be. The two distributions could diverge arbitrarily on other features. We prove a simple theorem that formalizes the above intuitions, generalizing the classic sample complexity bound of Blumer et al. to an OOD context. We then generalize sparse classifiers to subspace juntas, where the ground truth classifier depends solely on a low-dimensional linear subspace of the features.

One for All: A Non-Linear Transformer can Enable Cross-Domain Generalization for In-Context Reinforcement Learning

Bowen He, Juncheng Dong, Lin Lin, Xiang Cheng

原文摘要

A central challenge in reinforcement learning (RL) is to learn models that generalize beyond the tasks on which they are trained, a goal traditionally pursued through multi-task and meta RL. Recently, transformer architectures have emerged as a promising approach, enabling adaptation to new tasks via in-context learning without explicit parameter updates. From a functional perspective, a transformer can be viewed as a functional operator that maps a context to a task-specific function. It is thus fundamental to understand and design this operator to support stronger generalization in RL. In this work, we address this resulting question of generalization from a kernel-based perspective by establishing a connection between non-linear transformers and kernel-based temporal difference learning. By interpreting the transformer as performing regression in a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS), we show that value functions from different domains can be represented using a shared set of weights, provided they lie within the same RKHS. Experiments on multiple MetaWorld domains support this interpretation, demonstrating convergence of the temporal-difference objective.

Can General-Purpose Generative AI Supply Training Data for Medical Vision Models? A Multimodal Retrospective Study

Jiachuan Peng, Kyle Lam, Jierui Qu, Lin Li, Haining Zheng, Bang Zheng, Aniruddha Agarwal, Zaki Almallah 等 13 位作者

原文摘要

Background: Well-annotated, diverse medical imaging datasets remain a major constraint for vision-based medical AI. We evaluated Nano Banana, a general-purpose image generation and editing model, as a source of synthetic medical images for model training, subgroup augmentation, and model auditing. Methods: In this retrospective study across four imaging modalities, chest radiography, fundus photography, and CT models were trained only on synthetic images and externally validated on real-world data against real-data-trained models. Carotid ultrasound models were trained on a private Human Phenotype Project cohort (aged 40-75 years) with and without synthetic augmentation. Clinicians rated image plausibility. Evaluation used AUROC, AUPR, calibration, and decision curve analysis. Findings: Synthetic-only models achieved AUROCs of 0.877 (95% CI 0.843-0.910) for pneumonia (n=14863), 0.963 (0.948-0.975) for retinal detachment (n=1149), and 0.711 (0.600-0.823) for renal calculus (n=4122), comparable to real-data-trained models, but their calibration and net benefit were not consistently more favorable. With mixed synthetic-real training, a carotid ultrasound model produced an ordinal vascular age index that stratified 633 external subjects into subgroups differing in BMI and glucose (both p<0.01), linking vascular aging to cardiometabolic health. To stress-test shortcut learning, editing a moderate tessellated pattern into fundus photographs reduced the true-class probability for central serous chorioretinopathy from 0.996 to 0.822. Clinician-guided editing raised low-quality CT plausibility from 3.10/5 to 4.30/5. Interpretation: Synthetic data can complement real data in model training, subgroup representation, and model testing via controlled editing, but its clinical value should be assessed with calibration, decision curve analysis, and clinician review, not discrimination alone.

SimDuoReal: Object-Centric Bimanual Policy for Emergent Dexterity

Qiyang Yan, Yulin Liu, Akash Sharma, Haozhi Qi, Guanya Shi, C. Karen Liu

原文摘要

Bimanual dexterous manipulation requires coordinated arm and hand control, yet specifying such coordination manually is challenging and often task-specific. In this work, we explore whether complex bimanual dexterity can emerge from a simple object-centric learning objective. We train reinforcement learning policies under a shared object-centric reward, varying their training environments rather than tuning separate rewards for each behavior. We find that the policies discover pre-grasp manipulation, grasping and regrasping, in-hand adjustment and handover to reach object-pose goals without hand-designed motion sequences. We then refine the experts on transition states and use DAgger and reinforcement learning to distill them into a single policy that composes these behaviors for diverse bimanual tasks. On real hardware, the same policy succeeds in 61 of 80 trials (76.3\%) across four tasks with unseen objects and no task-specific fine-tuning. In simulated barcode scanning, our policy achieves 85.0\% success, compared with 60.4\% for two single-arm policies without handover. These results suggest that this objective provides a simple and scalable interface for learning general bimanual dexterity, shifting the burden from manually designing robot coordination to specifying what should happen to the object.

LPM: Industrial-Scale Generative Video Restoration

Bichuan Zhu, Fulin Li, Jiachao Gong, Jinhua Hao, Kai Zhao, Kun Yuan, Pengcheng Xu, Qiang Wang 等 18 位作者

原文摘要

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

VoxCanvas-41M: A Large-Scale Bilingual Dataset for Instruction-Based Speech Editing and Its Learning Dynamics

Zhikang Niu, Wenming Tu, Yalin Li, Yanru Huo, Junxi Liu, Tianrui Wang, Ruiqi Yan, Junxuan Liang 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Recent advances in speech generation have spurred the development of speech editing techniques. However, achieving high-quality speech editing remains challenging due to two key limitations. First, the major hurdle is the lack of large-scale, high-quality speech editing datasets. Constructing such datasets is costly, while open-source, scalable data pipelines remain limited. Second, the learning dynamics of speech editing models remain poorly understood. In particular, how models acquire editing capabilities and the relationship between generation and editing remain unclear. To address these challenges, we introduce VoxCanvas-41M, a large-scale bilingual dataset comprising approximately 41 million speech editing pairs. VoxCanvas-41M covers two major categories: content editing, including single-span, multi-span, and location-reference editing, and paralinguistic editing, covering the insertion and deletion of 39 classes of nonverbal events such as laughter, sighs, and coughs. Building on VoxCanvas-41M, we train VoxCanvas-Edit, an instruction-based speech editing model, demonstrating the effectiveness of our dataset in improving editing performance. Furthermore, we systematically investigate the learning dynamics of speech editing, examining how models learn different editing operations and how data scale, task interactions, and training strategies affect editing performance. The dataset, pipeline, and demos are publicly available.

Instructional videos are the dominant medium for completing physical tasks, yet rarely match the user's visual context. Motor simulation and cognitive load theories predict this mismatch matters, but how much, which attributes are responsible, and how users experience it remain unknown. We conduct two studies (56 participants, two first-aid and two cooking tasks) using researcher-prepared recordings to control visual alignment. Study 1 (N=16) compares fully aligned In-Context instructional videos (ICON) against business-as-usual Internet videos. ICON yields statistically significant gains: 11.1% higher completion quality and 15.5% faster completion. Qualitative analysis decomposes the effect into four visual context attributes: Task Object Intrinsic, Task Object State, Environmental Context, and Observational Context. Study 2 (N=40) ablates attributes one at a time. All four degrade objective performance yet users perceive no performance loss for any of them. Visual context misalignment is substantial, decomposable, and invisible to the user for any single attribute.

Dense Supervision, Sparse Updates: On the Sparsity and Geometry of On-Policy Distillation

Guo Yu, Wenlin Liu, Yulan Hu, Hao-Xuan Ma, Jun-Peng Jiang, Han-Jia Ye

原文摘要

On-policy distillation (OPD) has recently become a prominent post-training recipe by combining two desirable ingredients: on-policy student-generated trajectories and dense token-level teacher supervision. Yet how this hybrid training regime shapes a model remains poorly understood. We characterize the sparsity and geometry of OPD parameter updates across several language and vision-language model pairs and application settings. OPD updates are small and coordinate-sparse, while remaining distributed across layers and modules. This sparse support is operationally meaningful: masked training on the discovered subnetwork nearly recovers full-training performance. At the matrix level, the updates are numerically full-rank but spectrally concentrated. Their visible supports avoid coordinates emphasized by the source's principal structure and favor low-magnitude source coordinates, while the source singular-value spectra change little. Together, these findings show that OPD exhibits important weight-space signatures of on-policy post-training despite using dense teacher supervision.

What Gets Hacked in a Collaborative Reward for LLM Recommenders: The Part That Does Not Depend on the User

Zhuangsheng Li, Liang Dong, Yu Wu, Dailin Li, Yu Xia, Yunhan C. Zhang, Rui Cai, Yi Wu 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Collaborative-filtering (CF) scores provide graded, personalized rewards for training large language model (LLM) recommenders through reinforcement learning. However, these rewards can cause exposure collapse: even though the CF model itself produces diverse top recommendations across users, an LLM optimized with its rewards concentrates on fewer items. We decompose each score into an item-mean component, the item's average CF score across user histories, and a residual component, the current user's score deviation from the average. Through controlled interventions, we identify the item-mean component as a contributor to exposure collapse. Accordingly, we propose two reward corrections: per-item centering removes each item's estimated mean score, while per-item standardization further rescales the residual using its estimated standard deviation. Experiments on two datasets with two identifier schemes show that both corrections substantially improve catalog coverage and exposure evenness. Compared with training on the uncorrected CF reward, our corrections increase the number of distinct items ranked first across users by up to $9.8\times$, while maintaining comparable ranking accuracy. Code is available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/LLM4Rec-CF-Bias-27EF/.

VTAM: Efficient Visuo-Tactile World-Action Models for Contact-Rich Manipulation without Tactile Pretraining

Haoran Yuan, Weigang Yi, Zhenyu Zhang, Wendi Chen, Yuchen Mo, Jiashi Yin, Xinzhuo Li, Yue Luo 等 14 位作者

原文摘要

Tactile vision-language-action models (VLAs) and tactile world-action models (WAMs) are a promising new paradigm for contact-rich manipulation, but existing models either underutilize touch, rely on large-scale tactile pretraining, or incur high inference latency due to iterative video generation. We present VTAM, an efficient visuo-tactile world-action model for contact-rich manipulation that requires no tactile or action pretraining. RGB and tactile observations share a frozen video VAE and the pretrained video transformer weights. VTAM first adapts the video backbone to jointly predict future visual and tactile latents, then fine-tunes it end-to-end with a randomly initialized action expert that predicts actions, proprioceptive states, and a light flow-force proxy computed from tactile optical flow. Trained only on task demonstrations, VTAM outperforms all baselines on four real-robot tasks across two platforms with different tactile sensors, outperforms all baselines without tactile pretraining in average success on eight UniVTAC simulation tasks, and is comparable to tactile VLAs and WAMs pretrained on over 30K hours of largely visuo-tactile robot data (83.4% vs. 84.5% for N0-TWAM). Without full video denoising at inference, VTAM is approximately 6x and 16x faster than N0-TWAM and LingBot-VA without compilation, with compiled latency comparable to Fast-WAM. Ablations show that feeding frozen-VAE tactile features directly to the action expert, bypassing tactile world modeling, fails on every tested task, that Stage I visuo-tactile world-model fine-tuning improves UniVTAC success on most tasks, and that flow-force proxy keeps the policy from fully ignoring touch. The tactile encoder transfers zero-shot across GelSight Mini and Xense Photon sensors.

Breaking $\mathsf{TraintoDefend}$ via Adaptive Neuron Clustering in Cryptanalytic Model Extraction

Haojie Wu, Haolin Liu, Tianshuo Cong, Guoyan Zhang

原文摘要

Cryptanalytic model extraction poses a fundamental threat to deep learning model confidentiality by enabling precise parameter recovery with theoretical guarantees of functional equivalence. To counter this growing threat, $\mathsf{TraintoDefend}$ (NeurIPS 2025) was proposed as the first dedicated defense against cryptanalytic extraction and remains the only defense believed to be effective to date. It encourages neurons to learn similar weights so that they switch activation states together, making their individual contributions harder to distinguish. However, we notice that neurons with similar weights need not switch activation states together under small perturbations. Instead, weight similarity can cause the original clustering rule to merge signatures from distinct neurons when only a subset of their normalized weight coordinates agree. Motivated by this observation, we introduce $\mathsf{SimBreak}$, an adaptive clustering rule that breaks the weight-similarity defense of $\mathsf{TraintoDefend}$. $\mathsf{SimBreak}$ estimates a relative scale from all jointly observed weight coordinates and uses the same scale to test both weight direction and bias consistency. Across six protected fully connected networks trained on MNIST, $\mathsf{SimBreak}$ raises target layer signature recovery from $0\%$ to $100\%$, with a maximum relative recovery error of $2^{-22.27}$. Our work challenges the use of neuron weight similarity as a sufficient basis for protection and establishes adaptive evaluation as essential to assessing cryptanalytic extraction defenses.

EmoReward: Self-Evolving Reward Calibration for Emotional Video Generation RL

Mingzhe Zheng, Yue Wu, Jing Tan, Chang Zou, Dengyang Jiang, Zeyue Tian, Xuanhua He, Ryan Xu 等 22 位作者

原文摘要

Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has advanced generative model post-training in verifiable domains such as code and mathematics, but evaluating video quality, especially emotional expression, often depends on subjective aesthetics and has no uniquely correct target. Existing approaches typically rely on fixed rewards for visual quality, motion quality, and text alignment that poorly capture emotional intent and can invite reward hacking, while RLHF is difficult to scale and subject to individual aesthetic differences that complicate the calibration of facial, body motion, and chromatic cues across narrative contexts. We introduce EmoReward, a new self-evolving training mechanism that distills evidence reliability from reward traces collected during an actual training run to adaptively guide multi-reward weight allocation in subsequent training by determining which emotional evidence to trust and how much to weight it. EmoReward first plans specific grounding cues from the emotional prompt to guide evaluation, then uses heterogeneous signal primitives to score the generated video during the act stage. Reflective Reward Gating calibrates their contributions through instance-level gates for phase, face confidence, conflict, and subtlety, then renormalizes weights over the active set to produce the sample's fused reward. RewardMemory then estimates each primitive's reliability from rollout scores and outcomes within each emotional regime in the finished training run, then fixes bounded multipliers that calibrate fusion weights in the next training run without updating reward models. Experiments on HunyuanVideo 1.5 show improvements across multiple RL algorithms and compare EmoReward with other agentic reward methods under SAGE-GRPO. Ablations and transfer experiments on SD 3.5 and FLUX further support adaptive reward calibration for visual generation.

This paper revisits TEE-assisted BFT under a universal partial-TEE model, where an arbitrary subset of replicas execute inside TEEs while the remaining replicas operate without hardware trust guarantees. We show that heterogeneous trust changes the structure of quorum formation and fault tolerance. In particular, we derive a tight resilience bound f < max {n/3, m/2}, where n is the total number of replicas and m is the number of TEE-enabled replicas. The result reveals a sharp threshold phenomenon: TEEs improve fault tolerance only once they exceed two-thirds of the deployment. Guided by this characterization, we introduce two protocol principles: (1) a dual-quorum construction that safely combines TEE-only and mixed quorums, and (2) a TEE-leader fast path that leverages hardware-enforced non-equivocation to reduce both consensus and view-change latency. We realize these ideas in Raftel, which is, to our knowledge, the first HotStuff-style BFT protocol designed explicitly for arbitrary partial-TEE deployments, and in chained-Raftel, a pipelined variant that further accelerates mixed-trust execution. We implement both protocols atop Intel SGX and evaluate them in LAN and WAN environments. Our results show that Raftel achieves up to 625 TPS with sub-670 ms latency in WAN settings, outperforming HotStuff by up to 308 TPS in throughput while approaching the performance of fully TEE-assisted protocols.

LIBERO-RECOVER: Beyond Task Success Towards Failure Recovery in Robotic Manipulation Models

Lin Liu, Zhicheng Bao, Lu Zhang, Ziying Song, Wu Yang, Yuzheng Zhuang, Shuai Tao, Wulong Liu 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) or World Action (WAM) models have recently demonstrated remarkable performance in robotic manipulation. On LIBERO, SOTA method have achieved nearly 100\% success rates, seemingly suggesting that the models are ready for deployment in real world. However, near perfect performance on existing benchmarks can be misleading: success under ideal conditions does not imply real world robustness. Existing benchmarks primarily evaluate task completion from predefined initial states, while real world interactions inevitably involve failures such as failed grasps, collisions, and unintended object movements. A robot must therefore not only execute tasks successfully, but also recognize and recover from failures to continue the task. Yet this capability remains largely unmeasured, revealing a critical gap between benchmark performance and real world reliability. To address this gap, we introduce LIBERO-Recover Benchmark, a large scale benchmark for failure recovery in robotic manipulation. Built upon LIBERO, we collect real execution failures from SOTA embodied models and construct 1,000+ scenarios across four recovery levels: (1) Action Retry, (2) Action Adaptation, (3) Object State Recovery, and (4) Environmental Recovery. We evaluate four core capabilities: spatial understanding, object structure reasoning, interaction understanding, and topological reasoning. As the first large-scale benchmark for embodied failure recovery, LIBERO-Recover shifts evaluation from \emph{Can the robot succeed?''} to \emph{Can the robot recover after failure?''}, promoting robust and generalizable embodied agents. The project will be avaible in \textcolor{blue}{https://liulin815.github.io/LIBERO-Recovery/}.

DIKT: A Diagnostic and Interpretable Knowledge Tracing Framework for Prediction and Model-based Learning Analysis

Yi-Qiang Wu, Shaohui Chen, Hanlin Li, Baolin Yi

原文摘要

Knowledge tracing is a key component of intelligent educational systems. However, most existing methods mainly focus on response prediction, providing limited support for explaining predicted outcomes and improving students' learning states. This paper proposes Diagnostic and Interpretable Knowledge Tracing (DIKT), which integrates response prediction, skill-level diagnosis, and model-based learning analysis. DIKT generates bounded cognitive-state trajectories and decomposes the final response probability into skill-wise probabilities. The trajectories reveal students' evolving strengths and weaknesses, while the skill-wise probabilities identify the skills that most strongly constrain the prediction. Based on these diagnostic results, DIKT supports direct cognitive-state intervention and effective-learning-duration-based what-if analysis to examine how hypothetical adjustments affect current predictions and subsequent state evolution. DIKT combines Bayesian multi-head attention, conditional variational recurrent inference, a logistic-growth decoder, and multiplicative skill-wise prediction. Experiments on three benchmark datasets show that DIKT outperforms all evaluated baselines, with an average absolute AUC gain of 2.04 percentage points. Other experiments further demonstrate that DIKT supports educationally meaningful diagnostic analysis and provides informative diagnostic indicators for downstream applications, extending knowledge tracing from response prediction to interpretable diagnosis and model-based learning analysis.

Revisiting Elliptic++ for Bitcoin Forensics: Feature Reconstruction and Leakage-Resistant Evaluation

Runlin Liang, Simon Trimborn, Noud van Giersbergen

原文摘要

Elliptic and its address-level extension Elliptic++ are widely used benchmark datasets in Bitcoin forensics, cited by more than 1300 academic studies according to Google Scholar. We identify future information leakage in Elliptic++. Its positional data split does not respect temporal order, and the exact definitions of its address-level features remain undocumented. We revisit how the 55 Elliptic++ address-level features are computed and propose a leakage-resistant pipeline. First, the exact feature definitions are recovered by linking Elliptic transactions to public ledger data. Second, we compute the features with a temporal split based on each address's first appearance, using only information available at the time of prediction. Once temporal ordering is enforced, the random forest (RF)'s strong predictive performance largely disappears: its F1 score on the illicit class falls from $0.846$ under the original leaky evaluation to just $0.291$ under our leakage-resistant pipeline. Furthermore, RF no longer outperforms a simple logistic regression baseline. We provide the exact feature definitions and executable code to reproduce the leakage-resistant features, so that future Bitcoin forensic models can be evaluated based on genuine predictive capability rather than temporal data leakage.

JailbreakOPT: Iterative Jailbreak Prompt Optimization with Macro-Action

Ge Shi, Jun Yin, Donglin Xie, Fangyi Liu, Yucan Li, Menglin Liu

原文摘要

Jailbreak attacks expose persistent safety weaknesses in large language models (LLMs), but existing stateless single-turn methods face a trade-off: hand-crafted prompts are expressive but static, while iterative prompt optimization can adapt but often relies on low-level mutations that require many target-model responses. We propose JailbreakOPT, a method that maintains a library of reusable prompt transformations (actions) and composes them into macro-actions for within-episode search, generating standalone attack prompts. To reuse experience across episodes, JailbreakOPT learns an action-selection policy using contextual Thompson sampling and outcomes from prior search paths. Experiments across multiple LLMs and benchmarks show that JailbreakOPT improves attack success rate (ASR) over single-action and iterative baselines. More broadly, exploration and exploitation over human-designed attack strategies can help probe residual vulnerabilities and identify failure patterns that may inform defenses aimed at broader classes of attacks.

Can LLM Agents Be Forward-Deployed Engineers? Requirement Discovery and Delivery for Enterprise Text-to-SQL

Marianne Menglin Liu, Rongguang Wang, Zheng Wang, Yewen Wang, Leonid Boytsov, Tao Sheng, Sujith Ravi, Dan Roth

原文摘要

LLM coding agents can increasingly automate model post-training, but whether they can act as forward-deployed engineer (FDE) agents, discovering customer requirements and turning them into deployment decisions, remains unclear. We study this on a real enterprise text-to-SQL engagement: a simulated customer, grounded in the real use case's requirements, starts with an ambiguous request. An agent must discover acceptance criteria, data permissions, and hardware constraints in the discovery phase, then plan and execute a post-training recipe in the delivery phase. Across 15 models, the strongest discover over 80% of withheld requirements and open-weight models discover 40-50%; in the delivery phase, only 25% of runs across eight coding-agent configurations pass all acceptance criteria. We identify four bottlenecks in this engagement: (1) incomplete discovery, with 40% of withheld requirements missing or misrepresented; (2) unreliable execution; (3) underused compute budgets and a lack of systematic comparisons across base models and post-training methods; and (4) benchmark accuracy does not guarantee production readiness. We suggest human review of discovered requirements, monitoring of the agent's plan during execution, and an explicit experiment-environment specification covering hardware, budget scope, and production checks.

Toward Deployable Hardware Roots of Trust for Edge AI: Software PUFs and Their Trade-offs

Yilin Li, Farhad Merchant

原文摘要

Deploying AI at the edge increases the need for security features on existing devices. When physical access to the device is available, storing secret keys in non-volatile memory is vulnerable. Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) address this by exploiting the unique yet repeatable characteristics of each device, but conventional implementations require design-stage modifications, making them inapplicable to a vast number of existing devices already manufactured. Recently, software PUFs have emerged as an alternative approach, leveraging analog characteristics exposed through software-only interfaces to derive unique responses, without post-fabrication changes. Since edge AI hardware is bound to long operational lifespans, this offers clear economic and engineering value. Existing research on software PUFs remains fragmented. It lacks a holistic review of the trade-offs among choices of components used as entropy sources and software methods to expose analog characteristics. This gap hinders assessing feasibility, comparing approaches, and identifying open challenges towards a hardware root of trust in existing devices. This paper surveys 37 existing software PUF works and compares them against the requirements of on-device model protection: boot-time versus runtime key derivation, and response latency. It analyzes trade-offs, outlines four key challenges that current software PUFs face for edge AI deployment, and highlights promising directions for overcoming barriers to real-world adoption.

Dynamic Coded Distributed Computing with Joint File Placement and Reduce Function Reassignment

Chenglin Li, Minquan Cheng, Youlong Wu

原文摘要

Coded distributed computing (CDC) mitigates the Shuffle communication bottleneck through coded multicast, but existing schemes with predetermined worker populations do not directly adapt to worker arrivals and disconnections. To address these dynamics, we propose a dynamic CDC scheme that preserves surviving workers' caches and Reduce assignments while exploiting the storage brought by arriving clusters. The model accommodates general MapReduce tasks under a placement that is partly fixed and partly new. The scheme uses Cartesian products of cluster-wise placement delivery arrays (PDAs) for file placement. A delivery-aware greedy algorithm reassigns abandoned Reduce functions, and a Communication Array allows workers with no Reduce function to serve as coded transmitters. For arbitrary feasible disconnections, the scheme's exact communication load is derived. A converse bound under one-shot communication shows that, in the absence of disconnections, the scheme lies within a factor of 2 of the lower bound under these assumptions when new clusters arrive, and within a factor of 4 otherwise.

GateMOT: Q-Gated Attention for Dense Object Tracking

Mingjin Lv, Zelin Liu, Feifei Shao, Yi-Ping Phoebe Chen, Junqing Yu, Wei Yang, Zikai Song

原文摘要

While large models demonstrate the strong representational power of vanilla attention, this core mechanism cannot be directly applied to Dense Object Tracking: its quadratic all-to-all interactions are computationally prohibitive for dense motion estimation on high-resolution features. This mismatch prevents Dense Object Tracking from fully leveraging attention-based modeling in crowded and occlusion-heavy scenes. To address this challenge, we introduce GateMOT, an online tracking framework centered on Q-Gated Attention (Q-Attention), an efficient and spatially aware attention variant. Our key idea is to repurpose the Query from a similarity-conditioning term into a learnable gating unit. This Gating-Query (Gating-Q) produces a probabilistic gate that modulates Key features in an element-wise manner, enabling explicit relevance selection instead of costly global aggregation. Built on this mechanism, parallel Q-Attention heads transform one shared feature map into task-specific yet consistent representations for detection, motion, and re-identification, yielding a tightly coupled multi-task decoder with linear-complexity gating operations. GateMOT achieves state-of-the-art HOTA of 48.4, MOTA of 67.8, and IDF1 of 64.5 on BEE24, and demonstrates strong performance on additional Dense Object Tracking benchmarks. These results show that Q-Attention is a simple, effective, and transferable building block for attention-based tracking in dense tracking scenarios.

EyeAgent: An Agentic AI System for Multimodal Clinical Decision Support in Ophthalmology

Danli Shi, Xiaolan Chen, Bingjie Yan, Weiyi Zhang, Jiancheng Yang, Ruoyu Chen, Xinyuan Wu, Siyu Huang 等 26 位作者

原文摘要

Current medical artificial intelligence (AI) systems are often task-specific, poorly integrated, and difficult to interpret, limiting support for multimodal clinical workflows. We developed and evaluated EyeAgent for ophthalmic decision support. EyeAgent comprises three layers including 54 task-specific EyeTools, 32 clinical skills, and a modular large language model reasoning core with interchangeable backbones. A multi-level evaluation distinguished this scope from empirical system-level validation. Component-level evaluation assessed newly developed models on held-out splits of datasets totaling 871,862 samples. System-level evaluation included illustrative cases of workflow breadth, a 200-case expert-rating study of output quality, and an exploratory multicenter reader study comparing unassisted and EyeAgent-assisted performance among 27 ophthalmologists from 11 centers. Skill-level and backbone ablations further assessed orchestration and robustness. In illustrative cases, EyeAgent showed task-specific advantages over GPT-5.5 in lesion quantitation, cross-modality synthesis, and uncertainty-aware reporting. In the expert-rating study, EyeAgent achieved an F1 score of 0.84 for skill selection, with 82.7%-92.0% of outputs rated acceptable or better across six clinical dimensions. In the exploratory multicenter reader study, diagnostic accuracy increased from 72.8% unassisted to 91.9% assisted (difference, 19.1 percentage points (pp); 95% CI, 13.6-24.7; Holm-adjusted P<0.001). Report completeness increased from 55.8% to 75.6% (difference, 19.8 pp; 95% CI, 14.8-24.7; Holm-adjusted P<0.001). Across the evaluated settings, EyeAgent supported interpretable, evidence-guided reasoning and showed potential for human-AI collaboration. Broader real-world effectiveness and generalizability require prospective and cross-population validation.
