Language Model Augmented Decision Transformer for Multi-Task Offline Reinforcement Learning

Xinbo Zhao, Yuhang Liu, Xin Zhang, Lei Le, Zhaohan Xi, Yu Yang, Yingxue Zhang

原文摘要

Offline multi-task reinforcement learning (MTRL) aims to learn a unified policy from heterogeneous offline datasets that generalizes across tasks. However, existing offline MTRL methods often struggle with two fundamental issues: severe per-task data scarcity and limited cross-task generalization. In this paper, we propose Language-Model Augmented Decision Transformer (LaMA-DT), a unified sequence-modeling framework that leverages a single large language model (LLM) for both trajectory augmentation and multi-task policy learning. LaMA-DT uses natural-language task descriptions to guide task-aligned trajectory augmentation through a set of supervised generation and alignment objectives, and incorporates a scoring-and-filtering mechanism to retain high-quality augmented trajectories. The same LLM is then repurposed as a language-conditioned Decision Transformer and fine-tuned on a mixture of real and augmented data. Experiments on Meta-World and MuJoCo multi-task benchmarks demonstrate that LaMA-DT consistently outperforms competitive baselines, particularly in low-data regimes, showing that language-guided data augmentation substantially improves cross-task generalization.

MindGuard: Guardrail Classifiers for Multi-Turn Mental Health Support

António Farinhas, Nuno M. Guerreiro, José Pombal, Pedro Henrique Martins, Laura Melton, Alex Conway, Cara Dochat, Maya D'Eon 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Large language models are increasingly used for mental health support, yet their conversational coherence alone does not ensure clinical appropriateness. Existing general-purpose safeguards often fail to distinguish therapeutic disclosures from genuine clinical crises, and progress on developing better ones is bottlenecked by a lack of clinically grounded evaluation resources. To address this gap, we introduce a risk taxonomy, developed in collaboration with PhD-level clinical psychologists, that identifies actionable harm (self-harm and harm to others) while preserving space for safe, non-crisis therapeutic content. We release MindGuard-testset, a dataset of multi-turn conversations annotated at the turn level by clinical experts, which is, to our knowledge, the first public benchmark with turn-level clinical risk labels for multi-turn mental health support. We also release an automated red-teaming (ART) framework designed to measure how safety classifiers affect downstream model behavior in adversarial multi-turn interactions. Using synthetic dialogues generated via a controlled two-agent setup, we train MindGuard, a family of lightweight safety classifiers (with 4B and 8B parameters). Our classifiers reduce false positives at high-recall operating points and, when paired with clinician language models, help achieve lower attack success and harmful engagement rates compared to general-purpose safeguards. We release all models, training and human evaluation data, and the ART framework.

Compression Forcing: Hierarchical History Tokenization Enables Flexible World Models

Siqiao Huang, Partha Kaushik, Michael Chen, Hengkai Pan, Kaiwen Geng, Omar Chehab, Fernando Moreno-Pino, Max Simchowitz

原文摘要

Effective world modeling requires compressing salient history information that facilitates future prediction. However, most existing approaches inherit tokenization and conditioning mechanisms from video generation, where objectives are centered around perceptual realism rather than predictive utility. This discrepancy limits the world model's effectiveness, especially in environments dominated by visual nuisances or task-irrelevant background details. To this end, we introduce Compression Forcing (CF), a general framework that aligns history compression with the predictive objective of world modeling. Compression Forcing features Dynamics-Aware Tokenization (DAT), a novel tokenization method that compresses history observations into a sequence ordered by decreasing dynamics saliency. Built on a diffusion backbone, this structure enables Hierarchical History Guidance (HG-H), allowing selective amplification of dynamics-salient information during inference. Extensive experiments across various environments demonstrate improved prediction fidelity, physical realism, and downstream decision-making performance, establishing Compression Forcing as a highly flexible and effective approach for world modeling.

A Practical Causal Framework for Autonomous Mobile Robots: From Simulation to Real-World Human Environments

Luca Castri, Gloria Beraldo, Nicola Bellotto

原文摘要

Causal inference has emerged as a powerful paradigm enabling robots to make safe, efficient decisions by reasoning about the ``why'' behind events. However, its real-world application is hindered by the difficulty of collecting causal data, especially in human-populated environments where training takes time, while users expect immediate operation. To this end, we tackle the challenge of transferring simulation-learnt causal relations to the real world with minimal effort. While retaining the invariant high-level causal structure, we empirically demonstrate the system adapts efficiently to real-world situations by updating only the causal model parameters with a limited set of new observations. Our results show that the parameter update enables rapid sim-to-real transfer. The framework runs efficiently onboard of a mobile robot and significantly outperforms a non-causal baselines navigating successfully and safely in complex human-shared scenarios.

DUNEDepth: Bronchoscopic Depth and Pose Estimation via Hybrid Adaptation of a 3D-Vision Foundation Model

Qi Chang, Austin Kao, Ange Lou, William E. Higgins

原文摘要

State-of-the-art bronchoscopy guidance systems and computer-aided diagnosis methods have emerged as important tools for early lung cancer detection. Effective use of these tools depends on being able to accurately link a patient's bronchoscopic airway exam video to their pre-operative 3D chest CT scan. Unfortunately, the derivation of such links, which include bronchoscope depth and camera motion, from the exam video remains an open problem. Building on recently proposed 3D-vision foundation models, we propose DUNEDepth, a hybrid architecture that combines a shared DUNE ViT encoder, a twin MASt3R cross-attention decoder structure, and a prediction head that includes elements of the MASt3R and Reloc3r models. To fine-tune the architecture to our application, we utilize an integrated hybrid synthetic-supervised/self-supervised training strategy that draws on both bronchoscopic video and CT-derived virtual bronchoscopic views. Experiments drawing on bronchoscopic video sequences demonstrate that DUNEDepth more accurately derives depth information and camera motion trajectories than previously proposed self-supervised methods.

Query-Conditioned Evidential Keyframe Sampling for MLLM-Based Long-Form Video Understanding

Yiheng Wang, Lichen Zhu, Yueqian Lin, Yudong Liu, Jingyang Zhang, Hai "Helen" Li, Yiran Chen

原文摘要

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong performance on video question answering, but their application to long-form videos is constrained by limited context length and computational cost, making keyframe sampling essential. Existing approaches typically rely on semantic relevance or reinforcement learning, which either fail to capture evidential clues or suffer from inefficient combinatorial optimization. In this work, we propose an evidence-driven keyframe sampling framework motivated by an information-theoretic perspective. We consider maximizing the conditional mutual information between the selected frames and the answer given the query as an idealized objective, and use a modular singleton-gain surrogate to motivate a tractable frame-wise selection criterion. Guided by this motivation, we train a query-conditioned evidence scoring network using annotated answer-supporting segments. A contrastive objective encourages greater aggregate score mass on frames from evidence regions than on background frames, providing a practical evidence-based criterion beyond semantic similarity. Experiments on long-form video understanding benchmarks show that our method consistently outperforms prior sampling strategies under comparable frame budgets. With Qwen2.5-VL-7B under the same 32-frame budget, our method improves over uniform sampling by 10.1 points on LVBench and 4.4 points on the long-video subset of VideoMME.

Physical Experience Builds Continual Spatial World Models

Yuhang Sun

原文摘要

World models are increasingly used to support prediction and planning in embodied agents, but the knowledge is usually established before deployment and then carried into later encounters. Continual operation faces a different problem. A familiar environment may change, and the agent must use previous experience without allowing old expectations to override current physical evidence. This study asks what repeated physical experience must contribute for a spatial world model to become progressively more useful rather than simply more persistent. A physics-grounded dynamic maze separates recurring spatial change from the continuous consequences of action. Cross-episode Spatial Change Memory learns relations among environmental transformations, while state-action-outcome experience refines predictions of motion. Structured experience progressively reduces the need for future route correction and transfers to spatial transitions not encountered during learning. The advantage disappears when past changes contain no information about future ones. Continuous navigation further shows that predictive memory changes behavior when a previous decision becomes invalid but leaves behavior unchanged when the decision remains correct. Physical tests expose a complementary limit: correct topology does not guarantee correct action prediction, and accumulated physical experience reduces this mismatch within the modeled dynamics. The results characterize continual world knowledge as experience that improves future prediction and action beyond stored episodes while remaining revisable by the physical outcomes it is intended to predict.

Evasive Intelligence: Lessons from Malware Analysis for Evaluating AI Agents

Simone Aonzo, Merve Sahin, Aurélien Francillon, Daniele Perito

原文摘要

Tool-using artificial intelligence (AI) agents are increasingly adopted as systems that plan, observe their environment, and take actions over extended time periods. This shift challenges the current evaluation practice, in which models are tested in restricted, fully observable settings. We argue that such evaluations are vulnerable to a failure mode long known in computer security: a system that behaves benignly when it detects that it is being analyzed. Malware has exploited this for decades, by probing sandboxes, virtual machines, and instrumentation, before revealing its payload. The shared challenge is that the subject under observation can detect the conditions of its evaluation, so the setup used to observe behavior ends up shaping the behavior observed, yielding overly optimistic safety and robustness assessments. Recent AI-safety studies demonstrate pieces of this risk, though only preliminarily and under controlled conditions. Drawing on decades of malware-analysis experience, we outline concrete principles for evaluating AI agents as potentially adversarial: explicitly threat-modeling evaluator-discrimination; testing across harness variants and reporting the worst case; using shadow executions to provide a realistic runtime without irreversible side effects; treating environment probing as a risk signal; and performing unpredictable reassessments after deployment.

SurgEye: Instruction Tuning-Free Perception-Reasoning Framework for Surgical Scene Understanding

Qing Xu, Xiechen Shen, Xianjian He, Guqiao Liang, Zixiao Chai, Jiale Qin, Yifan Chen, Siyi Li 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

Surgical scene understanding is pivotal for computer-assisted intervention, yet demands compositional reasoning across instruments, anatomy, and workflow. Existing surgical vision-language models rely on instruction tuning with large-scale question-answer pairs, entailing laborious data curation and costly retraining. To bridge this gap, we propose SurgEye, a perception-reasoning framework that grounds reasoning in a vision foundation model without instruction tuning. Specifically, we devise Routed Multi-Task Perception (RMP) that routes the vision foundation model through task-specific pathways learned from public perception labels, producing spatial and temporal evidence. We further introduce Agentic Compositional Reasoning (ACR) that employs a frozen large language model to coordinate RMP specialists and temporal memory as callable tools, composing evidence across tasks and time into grounded answers. Moreover, we construct SurgEye-Bench spanning eight surgical procedures, pairing each question with perception labels for verifiable evaluation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SurgEye outperforms state-of-the-arts in surgical reasoning. The source code will be available.

Decision Transformer with Task-Aware Representations for Offline Meta-Reinforcement Learning

Xinbo Zhao, Yuhang Liu, Xin Zhang, Lei Le, Zhaohan Xi, Yingxue Zhang

原文摘要

To enable effective generalization in offline meta-RL, it is essential to accurately infer the underlying task through latent task representations, which provide a compact and transferable summary of task-specific characteristics for guiding policy generation. In this paper, we propose Contrastive Task-Aware Decision Transformer (CoTA-DT), a DT-based offline meta-RL framework that learns task representations by jointly integrating four complementary components: (i) contrastive learning from offline trajectories, (ii) alignment with natural-language task descriptions, (iii) one-step supervision via a task-conditioned world model, and (iv) long-term supervision via a task-conditioned Q function. The learned task representations are used as conditioning signals for a DT-based policy, enabling task-aware meta-policy learning. To further support generalization in both zero-shot and few-shot settings, we design a language-grounded, self-adaptive strategy that enables effective and reliable adaptation to unseen tasks. Notably, in CoTA-DT, the pretrained LLM serves as a shared backbone for language encoding, world modeling, Q-function estimation, and policy learning. This unified design facilitates parameter sharing, improving both efficiency and generalization. Extensive experiments across diverse offline meta-RL benchmarks demonstrate that CoTA-DT consistently outperforms prior methods, particularly in challenging zero-shot generalization scenarios.

Physics-Informed Identification of Tensegrity Prestress across Taut-Slack Transitions

Sandesh Lamsal, Sumit Kumar, Rubi Bhandari, Subhamoy Sen, Andrzej Rutkiewicz, Leszek Małyszko, Landolf Rhode-Barbarigos

原文摘要

Prestress governs the stability, stiffness, and dynamic behavior of tensegrity structures, but it is not directly observable from sparse structural measurements, and it may decrease during service life. Under strong excitation, the cables may slacken and the dynamics become nonsmooth. Existing identification methods are limited to the taut regime, and physics-informed networks for tensegrities solve only the forward problem of predicting the response from known member parameters. This study formulates the inverse problem. Neural networks are trained on the equation-of-motion residual in constrained Cartesian coordinates, where the mass matrix is constant and the force densities enter linearly. The force densities, damping, and axial stiffness are trainable parameters, and the tension-only cable law is kept. A Fisher-information analysis shows, before inversion, which member parameters a record can determine. The method is tested on simulated planar tensegrity frames with up to five modules and a three-dimensional prism, and on measured records of a biomimetic leg and a full-scale tensegrity simplex. On the one-module frame, the identifiable force densities are recovered within 1.5% from noisy accelerations at half the free coordinates, on records with and without taut-slack transitions. Records with transitions determine members that taut records leave undetermined. On the five-module frame, a 16-cable two-span bridge, the median force-density error rises moderately, to 4.2%. On measured records, an identified spring stiffness is within 0.1% of its independently measured value on average, and the identified simplex prestress at 13 levels agrees with its cable force transducers to 2.9% root-mean-square.

Controlling Action-Head Co-Adaptation to VLM Representation Anisotropy

Ruijie Zhang, Jiayin Zheng, Yequan Zhao, Liyan Tan, Ziyue Liu, Zhengyang Wang, Kunpeng Song, Nathan Zhao 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Modern learning systems increasingly combine pretrained models with downstream heads. Despite the growing importance of such modular designs, how the downstream model co-adapts to the geometry of pretrained representations remains relatively underexplored. We study this problem through vision-language-action models (VLAs), where a pretrained vision-language model (VLM) conditions an action model for control. We find that the action model progressively concentrates its sensitivity on high-variance dimensions of the VLM outputs. Through controlled experiments across different backbone-head models, we further show that counteracting this sensitivity concentration can be beneficial under representation--task mismatch settings. Motivated by these observations, we introduce \emph{Adaptive Interface Equalizer} (AdaIE), a parameter-free mechanism that reweights pretrained representations according to the evolving downstream sensitivity during training. AdaIE improves VLA success rates on simulation benchmarks, with gains of up to $+5.28$ percentage points (pp) on RoboCasa-GR1 and $+1.68$ pp on RoboTwin 2.0, and achieves an average gain of $+19$ pp across five real-world manipulation tasks. It further generalizes to diffusion policies and world models, improving downstream performance in both settings. Our results highlight interface co-adaptation as an important optimization problem when coupling pretrained representations with downstream models.

Characterizing Adversarial GEO via Implicit Brand Injection

Shobhnik Kriplani, Haohan Wang

原文摘要

Generative search engines increasingly shape how users discover products, services, and commercial entities by generating answers from retrieved web content. This creates an opportunity to influence which brands appear in these answers by modifying the content available to the retrieval system. In this work, we study an adversarial generative engine optimization (GEO) setting in which a predefined brand is added to an article through a single contextually integrated mention. The challenge is to make the mention fit the surrounding article without making the content overtly promotional, while keeping it relevant enough to be retrieved and to influence the generated answer. To study this, we introduce Implicit Brand Injection (IBI), a multi-agent framework that identifies insertion locations, rewrites the selected sentence, verifies the edit, and selects the final candidate. To evaluate IBI at scale, we construct IBIBench, which contains 1,000 web articles and 60 synthetic brands across 12 diverse domains, with both endemic and non-endemic brand placements. We compare IBI with Direct Prompting and Best-of-N with ranking under an equivalent budget, evaluating insertion quality, target-chunk retrieval, and downstream brand propagation. Compared with the baselines, IBI produces insertions that better preserve semantics and disrupt perplexity less, while improving Hit@k across all evaluated cutoffs, query regimes, and placement settings. IBI achieves up to 82.2% Hit@10 and 0.74 MRR@10, while Brand Mention Rate (BMR) and Conditional Propagation (CP) reach up to 62.7% and 75.9%, respectively. These results show that a single brand mention can increase both retrieval exposure and brand visibility in generated responses, highlighting the need for defenses against implicit content manipulation in generative search.

Who Built This Model? Tracing LLM Lineage via Spectral Fingerprints in Weight Space

Yiwei Chen, Bingqi Shang, Sijia Liu

原文摘要

Open-weight large language models (LLMs) are increasingly developed through complex, multi-stage pipelines, leading to intricate lineage relationships that reflect model origin, ownership, and evolution. Understanding these relationships is important for model provenance, governance, and supply-chain integrity. In this work, we investigate the notion of LLM "biometrics" (analogous to human biometrics) to ask whether LLMs exhibit intrinsic fingerprints in weight space alone, without access to input data, that reveal their origin and lineage. We formulate this as a lineage discrimination problem, distinguishing among independent-origin, same-series, and shared-base models. To characterize these relationships, we propose a unified geometric fingerprinting framework that analyzes weight matrices from two complementary perspectives: (i) spectral energy, captured by singular value distributions to encode global magnitude patterns, and (ii) subspace alignment, quantified via subspace deviations to capture directional geometry. Our analysis uncovers a clear hierarchy of structural similarity in weight space: spectral energy reliably distinguishes independently trained models and different model families, while subspace alignment enables fine-grained discrimination among closely related models, including variations in dataset scale and post-training procedures. Extensive experiments on over 110 diverse open-weight LLM pairs demonstrate that weight-space geometry provides a robust and interpretable signal for model lineage, enabling coarse-grained regime separation and fine-grained discrimination within shared-base models.

Do Vision Encoders Exhibit Human-like Color Thresholds?

Engy Ehab, Pablo Hernández-Cámara, Nahla Belal, Jesús Malo, Javier Vazquez-Corral, Alexandra Gomez-Villa

原文摘要

Understanding and characterizing human color perception is a longstanding research goal. One of the most traditional approaches is looking for the human color discrimination thresholds, the minimum chromatic differences perceptible to human observers. In recent years, deep neural networks have become the standard networks for computer vision tasks. In particular, deep vision encoders, foundation models trained on large-scale visual data, map images into latent feature representations. Despite the widespread use of deep vision encoders, few studies have investigated whether their internal representations exhibit human-like discrimination thresholds. In this work, we present a large-scale exploratory study probing the chromatic sensitivity of more than 50 pretrained vision encoders, including convolutional networks and vision transformers, against human discrimination thresholds. Using controlled chromatic stimuli at multiple chroma levels, we compare model-derived chromatic discrimination thresholds with human discrimination ellipses through a region-overlap metric (mIoU). Our analysis reveals generally weak alignment between model representations and human perceptual thresholds across all model families, with the best mIoU < 0.25. Moreover, we find that self-supervised encoders consistently outperform supervised ones, while language-supervised models show the most polarized behavior, occupying both the top and bottom of the ranking. These findings suggest that human-like chromatic sensitivity does not emerge naturally from current large-scale visual training objectives for any of the analyzed architectures.

WASP-Mem: Let Agent Organize Procedural Memory. Human Spend Effort on Diagnosis

Peizhi Niu, Ge Shi, Vaibhav Gorde, Sarthak Ghosh, Christos Faloutsos, Min Cheng, Kevin Chen

原文摘要

LLM agents struggle to automate complex enterprise procedures because static, pre-built harness cannot capture proprietary policies, undocumented behaviors, or state-dependent recovery paths that surface only during execution. Procedural memory accrued from agent experience offers a training-free path to closing this gap -- yet unlike episodic records or semantic facts, it must consolidate repeated successes and diagnosed failures into reusable actions and recovery strategies. We introduce WASP-Mem (Wiki-based Agent-Synthesized Procedural Memory), a nimble but effective method that distills execution traces and feedback into persistent, interlinked wiki pages, enabling continual agent learning. On TheAgentCompany benchmark, WASP-Mem raises the checkpoint pass rate by 4.6-6.1% over the strongest baseline we compared across three models while requiring 57-61% less storage. We further present a systematic controlled study spanning consolidation method, feedback type, trace ingestion scope, and refinement rounds. Our results reveal that prescriptive knowledge organization such as human defined schemas and explicit deduplication rules hurts performance rather than closing the procedural-knowledge gap. In contrast, human diagnosis converts failed traces into corrective knowledge and drives sustained improvement: a single round of human diagnosis outperforms four rounds of self-judgment by 7.0-10.9%. These findings point to a simple division of labor: let agents organize procedural memory, and invest human effort where it matters most -- diagnosis.

Temporal Grounding of Video Large Language Model via Holistic Event Perception and Matching

Jiahao Nie, Wenbin An, Gongjie Zhang, Yicheng Xu, Yap-Peng Tan, Alex C. Kot, Shijian Lu

原文摘要

Despite recent advances in Video Large Language Models (Vid-LLMs), Temporal Video Grounding (TVG) targeting precise localization of time segments of query events remains a grand challenge. Recent studies attempt to address this challenge by matching two separate tokens to all frame features and identifying the start and end frames of events based on the highest matching similarities. However, this approach relies heavily on the exact start and end timestamps, which are often ambiguous without capturing the semantic continuity and integrity of the event. To this end, we design E.M.Ground, a temporal grounding Vid-LLM that tackles the TVG challenge from a holistic and coherent event perception perspective. E.M.Ground introduces three novel designs: (i) It introduces a special <evt> token that aggregates information from all frames of query events with varying lengths, thereby preserving semantic continuity and integrity for accurate event matching. (ii) It introduces Savitzky-Golay smoothing to suppress the noise and abrupt changes in token-to-frame similarities across adjacent timestamps, thereby improving prediction accuracy. (iii) It aggregates multi-grained frame features to enhance the reliability of token-to-frame matching and improve temporal understanding, thereby compensating for the compression-induced information loss. Extensive experiments on widely adopted TVG benchmarks, along with in-depth analyses, demonstrate that E.M.Ground achieves strong overall performance, with the most pronounced improvements on single-event grounding and boundary-integrity tasks.

Evaluating the Impact of Nonlinear Registration on Longitudinal PET Analysis in a Rodent Stroke Model

Haytham Ziani, El Mostafa Kalmoun, Zohaib Atif, Hyuk-Sang Kwon

原文摘要

Longitudinal rodent positron emission tomography (PET) studies of stroke and neuromodulation rely on accurate registration to a common atlas space to detect group-level effects. Prior work applying ultra-high frequency low-intensity magnetic stimulation (UHF-LiMS) to a rat model of chronic capsule infarct used affine normalization to a Sprague Dawley MRI template without evaluating that choice. We compare a two-stage (affine and nonlinear) pipeline against an affine- only one for rat PET-to-atlas alignment on the same dataset. Across 32 longitudinal [18F]-FDG PET scans (8 rats, 4 timepoints), the nonlinear stage gave a higher Dice similarity coefficient on every scan, and the gain was significant at the rat level. Jacobian determinants showed no folding on the sampling grid. Group-level linear mixed-effects maps of change from baseline (AFNI 3dLME), computed identically under both pipelines, differ in the size, number and location of their suprathreshold clusters. In this dataset, the registration pipeline is therefore a variable that can change the interpretation of downstream group-level analyses.

Efficient Collaborative LLM Fine-Tuning over Heterogeneous Mobile Devices via Many Backbones to One Side-Network Tuning

Xingke Yang, Liang Li, Sicong Li, Liwei Guan, Hao Wang, Xiaoqi Qi, Jiang Liu, Xin Fu 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Collaboratively fine-tuning (FT) large language models (LLMs) over heterogeneous mobile devices fosters immense potential applications of personalized intelligence. However, such a vision faces critical system challenges. Existing federated LLM fine-tuning approaches remain limited by prohibitive on-device resource overhead, straggler-prone synchronous aggregation, and the assumption of a unified pretrained backbone across heterogeneous devices. In this paper, we propose EC-MobiLLM, a novel design for efficient collaborative LLM fine-tuning across heterogeneous mobile devices and heterogeneous backbones. EC-MobiLLM adopts a server-assisted side-tuning paradigm to minimize on-device overhead and pioneers non-blocking asynchronous collaboration to accelerate training. Moreover, EC-MobiLLM introduces adaptive feature alignment to support collaboration across heterogeneous backbones, aligning with practical needs in real-world deployments. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that EC-MobiLLM can maintain robust fine-tuning performance while achieving extremely low on-device memory, with at least 95.2\% reduction in computation overhead, 93.2\% reduction in communication costs and $5.1\times$ faster convergence compared to existing methods, validating its efficacy for practical LLM adaptation over heterogeneous mobile devices.

Dory1.0-4B: A Looped Normalized-GPT

Maxim Fishman, Simeng Sun, Shantanu Acharya, Faisal Ladhak, Brian Chmiel, Santiago Akle Serano, Ron Banner, Boris Ginsburg 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

We introduce Dory1.0-4B, a 4-billion-parameter looped (latent-recurrent) language model with elastic depth: a single checkpoint serves different inference compute budgets. Dory1.0-4B is built on a normalized Transformer (nGPT) backbone with interleaved sliding-window and full-attention layers, organized into an input block, a shared recurrent block, and an output block. At inference, the recurrent block can be applied a variable number of times. We pre-trained Dory1.0-4B on 6 trillion tokens. The first 4.5 trillion tokens were trained in NVFP4, and additional pre-training then extended the context length to 256K tokens. Next, we post-trained the model using Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), with a difficulty-aware loop curriculum that routes harder prompts to deeper loops. Increasing the loop count improves accuracy, with the largest gains on coding, agentic, and long-context benchmarks. With two or more loops, Dory1.0-4B outperforms larger models such as Qwen3.5-9B, Gemma 4 12B, and Gemma 4 26B-A4B on average across 12 benchmarks. Looping also makes Dory1.0-4B more token-efficient on agentic benchmarks: with four loops, it generates 1.3-2.5x fewer tokens than with one loop, as the extra computation is spent in latent space rather than on longer outputs. To reduce memory during looping, Dory1.0-4B caches keys and values only from the last loop, keeping its KV-cache footprint equal to that of a non-looped model at any loop count while retaining most of the accuracy gains. We open-source the BF16, MXFP8, NVFP4, and GGUF quantized checkpoints.

CVE-Conditioned Exploit Generation with LLMs: A Data-Centric Study of Benchmarking and Fine-Tuning

Yiwei Chen, Lichi Li, Kai Cheung, Vinny Parla, Ganesh Sundaram

原文摘要

We study the task of CVE-conditioned exploit generation, where a model drafts proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits given software vulnerability context. We adopt a data-centric approach, constructing a high-quality dataset via multi-stage preprocessing and introducing a scalable evaluation framework with LLM-as-judge and fine-grained rubrics. Under this unified setup, we benchmark 17 large language models across 8 evaluation criteria, providing systematic insights into their zero-shot capabilities. We further show that a compact 8B open-weight model, when fine-tuned on curated data, achieves over 42.5% improvement in exploit quality and rivals some proprietary models when combined with simple test-time rejection strategies. Our results highlight the importance of data quality, structured supervision, and evaluation design for reliable exploit generation, suggesting that these factors can be as critical as model scale in adapting LLMs to cybersecurity tasks.

Measure Before You Repair: An Explainable Agent for Blind Restoration of Multi-Artifact 3-D MRI

Necati Sefercioglu, Mehmet Ozan Unal, Metin Ertas, Altan Cakir, Isa Yildirim

原文摘要

A brain MRI scan can carry an unknown mix of artifacts, so restoration has to be blind, yet most deep-learning methods are built to correct one known artifact. We present Dx-Rx, an agent in which a multimodal large language model (MLLM) measures suspected artifacts before it repairs them. To our knowledge, it is the first agent to restore whole 3-D MRI volumes, whereas earlier MRI agents restore 2-D slices. In a loop, it looks at slices of the 3-D volume, calls five diagnostic tools (noise, spike, ghosting, bias field, motion) and four restoration tools in any order it chooses, checks each repair, can return to any earlier version to change the order, and ends with a radiology-style report of its diagnostic reasons, the repairs it applied and their results. We simulated up to five artifacts on 148 whole 3-D T1-weighted volumes, at levels calibrated to radiologists' grades of real scans. An MLLM that only looked at the image, as earlier MRI agents do, removed at most 19.7 % of the artifact error. With the best of five MLLMs, Dx-Rx removed a mean 64.5 %, nearly matching the 64.6 % of the same tools given the ground-truth artifacts, which are never known for a clinical scan. With all five models, it made no volume worse and was on par with or better than an expert rule-based pipeline built from the same tools (62.3 %).

Identity-Consistent Analysis of Long-Shot Windsurfing Video: A Domain-Specific Offline Tracking System

Bertil Braun, Felix Muehlenberend

原文摘要

Long-shot windsurfing video combines small targets, large camera pans, prolonged overlaps, and rapidly changing backgrounds. The desired output is not a generic MOT trace but a separate, stable rider-relative video for each surfer; one false identity merge can invalidate an otherwise useful result. We present an offline analysis system that detects surfers, forms conservative local tracklets, links them globally with camera-compensated motion and a foreground-masked sail-color descriptor, and uses two pose keypoints on the rig to drive a rider-relative virtual camera. The tracking stage is evaluated on 21 manually reconstructed development videos containing 41,004 retained observations. On this fixed-observation protocol, the production system achieves 0.957 pairwise precision, 0.918 recall, and 0.937 F1, compared with 0.792 F1 for OC-SORT and 0.828 for BoT-SORT. Compared with OC-SORT, it reduces fragmentation excess from 845 to 42, but nine of its 95 output tracks mix rider identities and these errors affect seven of the 21 videos.

When Music Needs Meaning: Semantic Communication as a Transformative Enabler for the Musical Metaverse

Ali Al Housseini, Jaime Llorca, Cristina Rottondi, Luca Turchet, Tiziano Leidi, Omran Ayoub

原文摘要

The Musical Metaverse (MM) enables geographically distributed musicians, audiences, sound engineers, and AI agents to interact through synchronized audio, visual, kinematic, and haptic streams, imposing latency, synchronization, bandwidth, and scalability requirements that are difficult to satisfy with conventional bit-level communication. This paper argues that semantic communication, understood here as the transmission of musically meaningful information rather than raw audio-visual-haptic samples, provides a principled communication paradigm for the MM. We define the MM from a communication perspective and derive modality-specific require ments; propose a three-pillar framework for musical semantic communication comprising semantics extraction, semantic-aware orchestration, and cross-modal semantic synchronization; survey representative work across semantic communication, music AI and edge orchestration, identifying the gaps that prevent their integration; and propose a semantic-first reference architecture based on device-side semantic encoders, edge semantic routers, and cross-modal semantic synchronization. The resulting framework positions the MM as a concrete and demanding use case for 6G semantic communication.

MaxKernel: Agentic Kernel Generation for TPUs

Shangkun Wang, Nina Cai, Charles Hoong, Julian Walker, Gerson Kroiz, George Vanica, Deepak Patil, Andi Gavrilescu 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Designing and authoring high-performance custom kernels for accelerators is a complex task that requires deep hardware-level expertise. Large Language Models (LLM) can be leveraged together with real-time compiler feedback to build agentic systems for kernel generation. In this work, we present MaxKernel, a multi-agent system that implements three distinct paradigms for TPU kernel development: (1) a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) agent for collaborative, step-by-step design; (2) an Autonomous (Auto) agent that executes a fully automated, metric/trace-driven optimization loop; and (3) a Graph-Based Autonomous Search that scales the Auto agent for global exploration of the design space. All three paradigms leverage a shared pool of specialized sub-agents to handle planning, implementation, self-debugging, testing, and hardware profiling. We evaluate MaxKernel on JaxBench, a comprehensive suite of 50 diverse kernel tasks for TPUs, alongside complex, real-world workloads from state-of-the-art open-source models. We demonstrate that MaxKernel consistently generates highly optimized implementations, matching expert hand-tuned baselines and delivering significant performance across the benchmark. Our agent is open-sourced and available https://github.com/AI-Hypercomputer/accelerator-agents/tree/main/MaxKernel.

Whose startup does the AI back? An algorithm audit of reputation and demographic signals in LLM-assisted crowdfunding

Mirza Samad Ahmed Baig, Syeda Anshrah Gillani

原文摘要

Large language model (LLM) assistants increasingly advise backers on which crowdfunding campaigns to support. LLMs have known race and gender problems, and it is unsettled whether they reproduce, erase, or reverse the discrimination documented in entrepreneurial finance. We ask when, and through which decision process, LLM assistants use founders' gender and ethnicity. In a pre-specified choice-based conjoint experiment, seven LLMs chose among five synthetic campaigns with independently randomized quality signals and founder names, under three backer personas and a persona-free control (40,248 responses). By default, founder names barely matter: under budget-conscious and delivery-focused personas, gender and Black-name effects are statistically equivalent to zero. When the backer wants to support underrepresented creators, the models favor Black-signaled (+8.1 percentage points; positive in all seven models) and female-signaled (+5.1) founders. They do so most strongly among near-tied campaigns and for the founder who alone carries the signal, and they almost never name gender or ethnicity in their reasons. The results fit an agency account of algorithmic discrimination: an aligned assistant takes its demographic preferences from its user rather than from its training data.

FlagRot: Selective Rotation for Low-Bit KV Caches

Kunming Shao, Xijie Huang, Jierun Chen, Jiaqi Shao, Yanli Wang, Jiangnan Yu, Qiwei Li, Wei Zhang 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Long-context inference is bound by the KV cache, which 2-bit codes could shrink about sixfold if their error stays in check. The usual remedy rotates keys before quantizing, assuming rotation always helps. However, we observe that it does not: rotation flattens a spiky piece of a key but can give a flat one a new peak, and both coexist within one key. We therefore propose FlagRot, which stores each 32-channel piece rotated or as is, whichever has the smaller calibrated attention error, and rotates the query instead when reading. We further show that how often to decide follows the quantization axis: per-channel caches such as KIVI need one decision per head, at no write cost, while per-token caches decide per key, with the choice stored in existing sign bits. At 2.5 bits per value, FlagRot lowers the twelve-model KL divergence of KIVI from 18.7 to 12.4 x 10^-3, below RotateKV on 9 of 12 models. Served as a vLLM plugin, it raises RULER at 128k tokens by +2.9 points and the LongBench v1 mean by +0.4 to +1.9 points on the three of four models where 2-bit KIVI loses accuracy. It also lowers the error of 4-bit integer and FP4 caches.

Closing the Lab-to-Store Gap: A Data-Efficient Post-Training and Experience-Driven Learning VLA Framework for Retail Humanoids

Roger Sala Sisó, Tiago Silvério, Jakob Sand, Tran Nguyen Le

原文摘要

Closing the gap between benchmark performance and reliable real-world operation remains a central challenge for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) humanoid robots, which must handle execution errors, distribution shifts, and environmental variability. This paper presents DEED (Data-Efficient Post-Training and Experience-Driven Learning), a systems-level approach evaluated on a supermarket chip-restocking task using a Unitree G1-Edu humanoid robot and the GR00T N1.6 foundation model. DEED comprises three key components: (1) a data-efficient post-training pipeline with control-frequency alignment, data curation, task-relevant visual highlighting, and reduced VLA dependence; (2) a real-world study of experience-driven refinement, adapted from RECAP via a text-based advantage prefix and a vision-language value function; and (3) a latent-space analysis tool for studying in- and out-of-distribution behavior. Our results suggest that bridging the lab-to-store gap is primarily a systems integration challenge rather than an architectural one: careful data design and targeted post-training can transform a policy that fails under naive fine-tuning into a competent real-world system using only a single GPU.

An explicit solution of the five-expert prediction PDE and the exact optimality set of COMB

Jeff Calder, Nadejda Drenska

原文摘要

In this paper, we derive an explicit solution of the stationary prediction with expert advice PDE for five experts. The formula is given in three regions. In the first two regions, it is the four-expert solution plus a single integral with an elementary positive density. In the third region, it is a finite sum of hyperbolic products whose coefficients are determined by one scalar quadrature. Our formula establishes that the rank ordered adversary $(1,0,1,0,0)$ achieves the Hamiltonian maximum in the PDE everywhere in the ordered sector, while the COMB strategy $(1,0,1,0,1)$ is optimal only on a lower dimensional subset of the sector (where $x_1=x_2$ and $x_3=x_4$). The verification of the Hamiltonian inequalities is a tedious task, part of which is completed with a computer assisted proof. The verification reduces to 21 scalar inequalities, which we prove using 147 exact rational Bernstein polynomial certificates. The exact certificates and their independent arithmetic checks are included in a supplement to this paper, and a Lean 4 formalization machine-checks the verification and both main theorems, apart from the viscosity characterization.

Towards Trustworthy Physical Intelligence: From Theory to Practice Across Life Cycle

Yang Wang, Hongxuan Liu, Xinghui Xu, Arjun Menon, Xiaoran Cai, Yunyu He, Alex Tarvo, Jingzong Zhou 等 43 位作者

原文摘要

Physical intelligence refers to intelligence systems that understand, reason about and act in accordance with the physical world and its underlying laws, dynamics, and constraints. Unlike conventional AI systems, physical intelligence interacts continuously with uncertain physical environments, and its actions produce consequences that are physically irreversible. As existing trustworthy AI frameworks have been developed primarily for digital AI systems, they do not fully capture the distinctive challenges of Physical Intelligence, such as physical safety, cyber-physical security, and physical manufacturing process. To address this gap, our paper develop a foundation for understanding, operationalizing, and governing trustworthy physical intelligence. First, we characterize the fundamental capabilities of physical intelligence. Second, we investigate the role of physical laws and principles in AI and analyze the associated challenges of physical intelligence. Third, we provide a unified structure of the end-to-end physical intelligence life cycle across five core stages and introduce the Trustworthy Physical Intelligence Operationalization (T-PAIO) framework. Fourth, we formulate the Trustworthy Physical Intelligence (T-PAI) Principles as a theoretical framework that synthesizes key trustworthiness dimensions and establishes a conceptual foundation for the governance of physical intelligence systems.
