SMILE: A Structured Multi-Agent Clinical Reasoning for Liver Ultrasound Understanding

Haris Ghafoor, Minjee Seo, Seonaeng cho, Keungmo Yang, Jaejun Lee, Kyungho Yoon

原文摘要

Automated liver ultrasound report generation improves the diagnosis of liver diseases by producing clinically structured descriptions of anatomical and disease-related findings. However, current generative vision-language models (VLMs) often rely on a single reasoning pathway that maps ultrasound appearance directly to textual descriptions. In addition to the inherent vision-language modality gap, this design is limited for liver ultrasound because disease interpretation is constrained by subtle visual evidence, heterogeneous disease patterns, and limited paired supervision. To address these limitations, we propose SMILE, a Structured Multi-agent clInicaL rEasoning framework that uses multiple complementary specialist agents to interpret ultrasound images and consolidates their outputs through a judge-guided consensus mechanism. Our approach employs three specialized agents: an image interpretation agent for morphological descriptions, a clinical-stage reasoning agent, and a visual question answering (VQA) agent for targeted queries. These agent responses are then aggregated and scrutinized by a judge VLM using a consensus filtering prompt to produce a unified, clinically coherent output. Across a public liver ultrasound dataset and an internal clinical dataset, SMILE consistently outperforms state-of-the-art VLMs, achieving up to 19.0\% improvement in ROUGE-1 and 18.8\% improvement in clinical F1-score, while reaching VQA F1-scores of 0.82 and 0.65 on public and internal datasets, respectively. These results demonstrate the potential of SMILE for data-scarce and limited-supervision clinical settings. Our models, datasets, and code are available \href{https://github.com/CMME-Lab/SMILE}{here}.

Probing Local Conditional Fit for Diffusion Model Membership Inference

ByungHee Cha, Naoki Murata, Yuhta Takida, Jong Chul Ye, Yuki Mitsufuji

原文摘要

Membership inference determines whether a candidate example was used to train a text-to-image diffusion model and is an important tool for auditing training-data use. We identify a directional membership signal in \emph{conditional prediction shifts}, the changes in predicted noise under alternative text conditions at a fixed noisy input: whether movement toward the alternative prediction initially lowers or raises the denoising loss from its value under the original caption. Members exhibit less room for such local improvement. To quantify this response, we propose \emph{LoFIT} (Local Conditional Fit), which measures the initial response of the denoising loss along normalized prediction shifts and aggregates it across multiple text conditions and diffusion states. LoFIT requires no target-model gradients and can be computed using only forward queries to the denoiser. Evaluations on four datasets show improved membership discrimination across fine-tuned and pretrained models. LoFIT distinguishes members early in fine-tuning, while the naive denoising-loss baseline remains near chance. Controlled comparisons show that the membership signal is concentrated in the first-order response, with little discrimination from prediction-shift magnitude alone.

Beyond $L_\infty$-Norm Sets: Synthesizing Interpretable Non-Uniform Uncertainty Sets for Evaluation-Time State-Adversarial Robustness

Xulin Chen, Ruipeng Liu, Garrett E. Katz

原文摘要

Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agents are vulnerable to perturbations of their observed state inputs. Prior works often constrain state adversaries with $L_p$-norm uncertainty sets and evaluate policy performance under the resulting perturbations. However, in continuous control tasks like robotics control, different state dimensions have distinct physical meanings and influence policy behavior to different degrees, which $L_p$-norm sets fail to capture or explain. Moreover, it is important to identify when and along which state dimensions a policy is vulnerable, independently of the algorithm used to train it. In this paper, we focus on evaluation-time attacks applied to pretrained policies. We propose \textbf{P}erformance-\textbf{D}egradation \textbf{N}on-\textbf{U}niform \textbf{U}ncertainty \textbf{S}et (\method{}), an interpretable formulation of uncertainty sets for state perturbations. \method{} is state-dependent, dimension-wise non-uniform, and can be synthesized online during policy evaluation. We first formulate an ideal constrained optimization problem for \method{} computation, then introduce a surrogate constraint to make the problem tractable. Experiments across multiple continuous-control environments, policy algorithms, and state attacks show that \method{} reveals variation in policy sensitivity across states and dimensions, while its performance degradation is moderately controlled.

RLVR Sharpens the Pencil, Not the Mind

Shreeyam Bangera, Manya Gupta

原文摘要

Models like DeepSeek-R1 made Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) famous: reward a model for correct answers and it gets dramatically better at reasoning without being taught how. The leading explanation is sharpening---that the base model already knows how to solve these problems and RLVR just makes it more likely to reach for its best solution paths. This has only ever been checked by comparing before and after training, never by watching what changes inside across it. We tracked OLMo-2-1B across all 13 training checkpoints on GSM8K. First-try accuracy climbs from 58.0% to 61.3%, but ask the model 256 times and solution coverage actually rises from 94.5% to 96.9%, proving the knowledge was already there. We then planted reasoning mistakes into problems and trained simple probes to detect them. Those probes held between AUROC 0.798 and 0.840 across all 13 checkpoints and 3 error types, a spread smaller than the confidence interval; the model never builds a sharper internal picture of what a reasoning mistake looks like. The one place we find real internal change is at the final answer token, where a probe distinguishing early from late checkpoints hits an AUROC of 0.93, while the same probe on the actual reasoning steps lands near chance. RLVR makes the model lead with its best thinking. It does not change what that thinking is.

Jev for Scientific Decisions: Evaluating Semantic Choices and Their Consequences

Boyuan Deng, Shuyi Fan, Hongyang Zhang, Xinhong Xie

原文摘要

Scientific workflows often require choosing among known relations before a deterministic calculation can proceed. Whether observations share a culture, treatment or reference standard can change the scientific meaning of the resulting count or comparison. Once the evidence is prepared and the calculation is written as code, this choice reduces to one semantic judgment among listed candidates. We evaluate Jev on this step, using a harness that follows its documented guidance. The study compares twelve model configurations on twenty Choices in ten scientific cases built from published sources, each repeated five times. We measure semantic selections, downstream outputs and final claim labels separately. Jev tied with five other configurations at complete semantic correctness and achieved the lowest observed median latency and known mean cost among successful responses. On one question, whether samples shared a culture, three comparison models made seven wrong selections that changed downstream counts while preserving the correct final label. These results support using Jev to select relations when the evidence and candidates are prepared in advance, and show that evaluating it requires checking the relations and quantities that a workflow will reuse.

Organizational Learning in Materials Discovery Campaigns: Which Databases, Calculations, and Agent Teams Pay Off

Kinston Ackölf, Taylor D. Sparks

原文摘要

More databases can make a materials campaign worse. Through an organizational lens, we trace each source's contribution. One band-gap campaign ranks seven anion families from archived measured gaps, one vote per source. In the first half of its budget, all seven pooled rank worse (rank agreement 0.737; 1 = measured order) than the best pool of three (0.851). As a stability check, choosing the pool on half the runs and testing on the rest kept the gap. Splitting Materials Project afterwards points to its transition-metal oxides and fluorides. Two databases from one pipeline add nothing over one, but pooling gives their shared ordering two votes. New calculations repay their cost early only when two or three campaigns reuse them. Flat language-model agent teams trailed a random-pick baseline (mean 0.876, sd 0.096, 20 searches). An adaptive Al-Mg-Si team, mostly interatomic potentials, was scored on unseen HSE06 calculations. In its first quarter of compute it found 49% of the ten lowest-formation-energy compounds, against at most 40% for fixed teams and 73% for MACE-MP-0 alone. Merging members whose orderings agreed carried most of its gain. This suggests pooling a few sources that fit the measurements, counting each pipeline once and charging for computation.

SeMo3D: Unifying 3D Generation, Editing, and Completion via Selective Modeling

Xiaokun Sun, Jian Yang, Zhenyu Zhang

原文摘要

3D generation, editing, and completion are typically treated as regenerating the complete 3D asset under task-specific constraints, even when only a local region needs modification. This leads to task isolation, inconsistency in content that should remain unchanged, and dependence on task-specific paired data. We address these issues with a key observation: the three tasks all synthesize a designated region while keeping the rest intact---the full region for generation, the target region for editing, and the missing region for completion. We term this paradigm Selective Modeling and build SeMo3D upon it; it naturally unifies the three tasks, preserves unchanged content by construction, and enables training without paired editing or completion data, since any 3D asset can be partitioned into a selected region and its context. For training, we propose region-selective denoising, which randomly selects regions of varying sizes on standard 3D assets and applies noise and loss only to them, jointly learning all three tasks. For architecture, we propose Omni3DiT, a multi-condition 3D diffusion transformer that distinguishes regions to create from those to retain and fuses image, text, and point guidance for fine-grained control. Experiments across three benchmarks show SeMo3D surpasses state-of-the-art methods on all tasks, delivering multimodal controllability in generation and strong consistency and accuracy in editing and completion. SeMo3D further serves as a unified modeling tool for agents, enabling efficient 3D creation through natural-language interaction. Project page: https://xiaokunsun.github.io/SeMo3D.github.io/.

Rank-Aware Differentially Private Release of Listwise Preferences for LLM Alignment

Junwei Chen, Manjiang Yu, Pengpeng Qiao, Yang Cao

原文摘要

Listwise preference feedback offers richer supervision for large language model (LLMs) alignment than pairwise comparisons, but a full ranking also reveals more sensitive user preferences. Existing privacy-preserving alignment methods focus mainly on pairwise feedback, while listwise alignment under local differential privacy (LDP) remains unexplored. Extending LDP to this listwise domain raises a critical challenge: the high sensitivity of the full ranking space demands excessive noise, neutralizing the benefits of listwise supervision. To address this challenge, we analyze the interaction between supervision granularity and privacy noise in downstream training, and introduce a rank-aware exponential mechanism that privatizes listwise preference data into a low-sensitivity granularity suitable for downstream alignment. The mechanism leverages ranking information to sample a fixed-size binary partition, concentrating the noise near borderline items instead of perturbing all items uniformly as randomized response (RR) does. Empirical evaluations on downstream LLM alignment tasks show that our mechanism consistently outperforms existing LDP baselines at matched privacy budgets. The code is available at https://github.com/tdsai-lab/RAEM.

Offline Materials Optimization with CliqueFlowmer

Jakub Grudzien Kuba, Benjamin Kurt Miller, Sergey Levine, Pieter Abbeel

原文摘要

Recent advances in deep learning inspired neural network-based approaches to computational materials discovery (CMD). A plethora of problems in this field involve finding materials that optimize a target property. Nevertheless, the increasingly popular generative modeling methods are ineffective at boldly exploring attractive regions of the materials space due to their maximum likelihood training. In this work, we offer an alternative CMD technique based on offline model-based optimization (MBO) that fuses direct optimization of a target material property into generation. To that end, we introduce a domain-specific model, dubbed CliqueFlowmer, that incorporates recent advances of clique-based MBO into transformer and flow generation. We validate this model's optimization abilities and show that materials it produces strongly outperform those from generative baselines. To support specialized materials discovery applications and broader interdisciplinary research, we release our code (https://github.com/znowu/CliqueFlowmer), model weights (https://huggingface.co/iamkuba/CliqueFlowmer), and an interactive demo (https://cliqueflowmer.znowu.workers.dev).

Enhancing Stock Market Information Retrieval with Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Huan Phong Thai, Thu Anh Ngoc Le, Nhu Huynh Thi Le, Nhan Huu Tran, Lenh Cong Phan Pham, Hong Nhung Nguyen

原文摘要

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has been widely applied in financial domains, enabling automated analysis and retrieval of stock market information. However, traditional NLP-based systems often struggle with maintaining contextual accuracy and generating relevant responses in dynamic financial environments. To address these challenges, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models have emerged as a powerful solution, combining retrieval-based methods with generative capabilities to enhance response quality. In this study, we present a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system designed to generate responses related to stock market information. The system integrates retrieval-based and generative approaches to enhance the accuracy and relevance of financial text generation. To evaluate its effectiveness, we employ the ROUGE metric, specifically ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, and ROUGE-L, to measure lexical and structural similarity between generated and reference texts. Experimental results on a dataset of 100 stock market-related queries demonstrate high ROUGE scores, indicating strong alignment with reference documents. Additionally, we assess latency to evaluate the system responsiveness, achieving an average response time of 1.16 seconds. These findings confirm that our RAG model is capable of providing accurate and timely stock market insights, making it a promising approach for financial information retrieval.

Square-Root Regret for Adversarial Multiplayer Bandits without Collision Information or Shared Randomness

Chenyu Gan

原文摘要

We study cooperative multiplayer bandits with adversarial rewards and no collision information. In each of $T$ rounds, each of $m$ labeled players picks one of $K>m$ arms. A player alone on its arm receives that arm's reward in $[0,1]$; players who share an arm receive $0$. Each player observes only its own reward, so it cannot distinguish a collision from an arm with zero reward, and there is neither shared randomness nor a communication channel. Bubeck, Li, Peres and Sellke (2020) obtained regret $\widetilde O(KT^{3/4})$ for two players and $\widetilde O(mK^{3/2}T^{1-1/(2m)})$ for $m$ players, and conjectured that regret $Ω(T^{2/3})$ is unavoidable already for two players. We refute this conjecture. We give a strategy whose expected regret against every oblivious adversary is $O(m^{3/2}\sqrt{KT}\log^2(KmT))$, which is optimal in $K$ and $T$ up to logarithmic factors. Three ideas make this possible. (i) Bits are sent through deliberate collisions as random parity checks, and the regret spent while a message is delayed is charged to the number of arms with positive reward rather than to elapsed time: an adversary that jams the channel with zero rewards forfeits the regret it could inflict. (ii) An exponential-weights learner over sets of arms combines a frequently resampled coordinator arm with a follower assignment that changes only $O(\sqrt{mT/K})$ times in expectation; delayed updates are reconstructed exactly. (iii) We teach the followers a privately chosen row index in a fixed public table using reward observations alone, allowing them to coordinate without shared randomness. The bound holds simultaneously for all reward matrices, even ones chosen with knowledge of the table, and a random table works with probability $1-O(1/(KmT))$.

Central pivot point control of a body-attached spring-mass runner: periodic gaits, stabilization, template embedding and approximate analytic return maps

İzel Sever, O. Kaan Karagöz, M. Mert Ankaralı

原文摘要

The spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) describes the center-of-mass (COM) motion of runners but has no trunk. In trunk models, the hip torque couples posture and COM motion and destroys the central-force structure on which SLIP analysis relies. As a result, trunk models have been studied almost only numerically. We show that this structure can be restored. The central pivot point (CPP), a hip-torque law that directs the ground reaction force through the COM, decouples pitch exactly and reduces stance to a planar central-force problem. At upright posture, time-reversal symmetry produces one-parameter families of periodic gaits. A stance-phase pitch law and a stride-level regulator stabilize all computed gaits, also with bounded hip torque and friction. Under CPP, any radial force law in virtual-leg coordinates can be embedded independently of posture. For a linear radial template, the stance radius and the constant-momentum sweep have exact closed forms. With a new gravity correction, the resulting analytic return map, to our knowledge the first for a trunk model, predicts liftoff velocity and apex position with mean errors of 1.6% and 0.9%. The natural gaits of the embedded runner are symmetric and need no force step at touchdown. A near-reversibility argument explains their unit multiplier, and a scalar equation predicts them within 0.8%. A deadbeat stride controller based on the analytic map tracks changes of speed, height and posture. CPP thus makes trunk models accessible to the analytic tools developed for SLIP.

AliO: Output Alignment Matters in Long-Term Time Series Forecasing

Kwangryeol Park, Jaeho Kim, Seulki Lee

原文摘要

Long-term Time Series Forecasting (LTSF) tasks, which leverage the current data sequence as input to predict the future sequence, have become increasingly crucial in real-world applications such as weather forecasting and planning of electricity consumption. However, state-of-the-art LTSF models often fail to achieve prediction output alignment for the same timestamps across lagged input sequences. Instead, these models exhibit low output alignment, resulting in fluctuation in prediction outputs for the same timestamps, undermining the model's reliability. To address this, we propose AliO (Align Outputs), a novel approach designed to improve the output alignment of LTSF models by reducing the discrepancies between prediction outputs for the same timestamps in both the time and frequency domains. To measure output alignment, we introduce a new metric, TAM (Time Alignment Metric), which quantifies the alignment between prediction outputs, whereas existing metrics such as MSE only capture the distance between prediction outputs and ground truths. Experimental results show that AliO effectively improves the output alignment, i.e., up to 58.2% in TAM, while maintaining or enhancing the forecasting performance (up to 27.5%). This improved output alignment increases the reliability of the LTSF models, making them more applicable in real-world scenarios.

SHARP-QoS: Sparsely-gated Hierarchical Adaptive Routing for Joint Prediction of QoS

Suraj Kumar, Arvind Kumar, Soumi Chattopadhyay

原文摘要

Dependable service-oriented computing relies on multiple Quality-of-Service (QoS) parameters to assess service performance. However, real-world QoS data are often sparse, noisy, and shaped by hierarchical dependencies arising from QoS interactions, geographical constraints, and network-level factors, making accurate prediction challenging. Existing deep learning-based methods often predict each QoS parameter separately, requiring multiple similar models, which increases computational overhead and limits their suitability for applications requiring joint decisions across multiple QoS parameters. Although recent joint QoS prediction studies employ shared architectures, differences in numerical ranges across QoS parameters can lead to task imbalance and negative transfer, while inadequate representation learning and suboptimal joint optimization can degrade prediction accuracy. We present SHARP-QoS, a joint QoS prediction framework with three components. First, hyperbolic graph and hypergraph convolutions in the Poincaré ball extract hierarchical features from QoS invocation and contextual graphs. Second, sparsely gated sub-network routing selectively shares contextual and cross-QoS features, and a gated fusion module combines them with the structural features. Third, an EMA-based loss-balancing strategy smooths short-term fluctuations in task losses to provide less fluctuating task weights. Experiments on three multi-QoS datasets covering two, three, and four QoS parameters show that SHARP-QoS achieves lower prediction errors than existing joint QoS prediction methods. Because its contextual branch relies only on public region and AS attributes, it supports prediction for new users and services. Ablation, hyperparameter, outlier, and scalability analyses further assess its performance, highlighting the trade-off between prediction accuracy and computational cost.

EEFA: A Framework for the Ethical Evaluation of AI Agents

Swathi Pallikala, Yashas Hariprasad

原文摘要

The rapid deployment of autonomous AI agents across consequential domains including healthcare, legal services, nancial management, and enterprise workows has created an urgent governance challenge. While the eld of AI evaluation has produced sophisticated benchmarks for measuring agent capability, these frameworks measure exclusively what agents can do rather than how they do it. The ethical dimensions most critical to responsible agent deployment, in- cluding respect for human autonomy, harm avoidance, transparency and non-deception, privacy compliance, and accountability, are systematically absent from current evaluation practice. This paper addresses that gap through three contributions. First, a structured literature review of twelve leading AI agent benchmarks characterizes the ethical dimensions those bench- marks do and do not measure. Second, the Ethical Evaluation Framework for AI Agents (EEFA) is introduced as a comprehensive, operationalizable instrument for ethical agent evaluation, grounded in established AI ethics principles and designed for use by developers, auditors, and regulators. Third, a reproducible validation protocol is specied for applying the EEFA to deployed agent systems, with illustrative test scenarios across all ve framework dimensions. The EEFA is organized across ve primary dimensions: Autonomy Preservation, Harm Avoid- ance, Transparency and Non-Deception, Privacy Compliance, and Accountability and Traceabil- ity. The framework maps directly onto the requirements of the EU AI Act and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, positioning it as a practical compliance assessment instrument for high-risk AI applications. Empirical application of the framework across diverse benchmarks and agent systems is identied as a priority direction for future work.

Harnessing Plastic Deformation for Continuous Passive Stability in Soft Grippers

Junlong Xiao, Yaoqiang Pan, Xuan Zhang, Michael Yu Wang, Chao Chen

原文摘要

Soft robots offer compliance and adaptability for interacting with complex environments, but their low structural stiffness can compromise stability under dynamic disturbances. Here, we present a continuously stable structure through plastic deformation (CSSPD), a hybrid metal-elastomer architecture that enables passive shape retention without continuous energy input. By deliberately exploiting plastic deformation in a kirigami-patterned metal layer, CSSPD establishes new equilibrium configurations while increasing structural stiffness and resistance to dynamic disturbances. A theoretical model is developed to characterize the deformation and stability of the hybrid structure and guide the geometric design of the metal layer. We further introduce a bioinspired paw pad that provides top-side support for enhanced grasp stability and serves as an integrated sensing interface for rapid object acquisition. A telescopic soft pressing mechanism (TSPM) mechanically couples paw-pad motion with tendon actuation. Experiments demonstrate passive holding forces of up to 16 N without continuous energy input, comparable to pneumatic actuation at 0.3 MPa, and stable grasping under pulsed accelerations of up to 400 m/s^2 when combined with pneumatic actuation. Energy-free perching on tree branches further demonstrates the potential of the proposed composite architecture for stable and energy-efficient manipulation.

Multimodal Progress-Residual Fusion for Anticipating Navigation Retreat in Robotic Flexible Endoscopy

Chi Kit Ng, Tianchun Wu, Jiachen Sun, Yuming Sun, Jianru Zhang, Hongliang Ren

原文摘要

Flexible robotic endoscopes provide access through tortuous anatomy, where friction, deformation, and wall interaction separate commanded insertion from useful distal progress. Operators interpret this mismatch and retreat to recover a navigable configuration. Recognizing the approach to that decision requires relating motor intent to distal response and the local visual scene. We introduce Multimodal Progress-Residual Fusion (MPRF), a causal model that anticipates operator retreat from commands, electromagnetic (EM) tracking, and endoscopic video. A nominal-progress model predicts the response expected in normal or successful navigation; a temporal predictor combines its EM residual with all three observed modalities. In a 150-episode colon-phantom collection, MPRF achieves 0.580 +/- 0.007 AUPRC across three seeds, compared with 0.511 for the strongest reduced-modality control. Complete multimodal histories provide the principal ranking advantage, while the residual adds an explicit intent-response representation with a small, uncertain increment over raw fusion. Analysis of frozen alarms relates warning timing to the behavioral label and explains the increase in event recall under a longer matching window. These results establish a basis for behavioral assistance during operator-controlled navigation.

Sequential Recovery Updates for Learned Controllers under Successful-Trajectory Preservation

Zongtan Li, Tianming Liu, Ye Zhao

原文摘要

A competent learned controller already recovers from many disturbances. Improving it means learning a correction, and learning when not to apply it. Freezing a skill's parameters does not settle the second half. In a controller that routes among frozen skills, a new entry rule can redirect the states an old skill succeeded on. We therefore constrain entry instead of parameters. Each update searches for a feedback skill at a measured failure. It fits an entry rule that reads observations and rejects every state on an accumulated successful trajectory. The skill is admitted only if the composed controller reproduces the new recovery on its own and replays every protected trajectory exactly. A finite-trajectory condition states when this preserves the previous controller. One mechanism runs on four streams: two motions on each of two humanoid systems. Two updates per stream add 62 recoveries over 192 withheld perturbations, and lose none of the base controller's successes. We then price that guarantee. Removing the constraint recovers 33 more conditions but stops eight protected ones from completing at all, and excluding only what admission proves necessary recovers none of that cost.

The Weight Gram Matrix Captures Sequential Feature Linearization in Deep Networks

Taehun Cha, Daniel Beaglehole, Adityanarayanan Radhakrishnan, Donghun Lee

原文摘要

Understanding how deep neural networks learn representations remains a central challenge in machine learning theory. In this work, we propose a feature-centric framework for analyzing neural network training by relating weight updates to feature evolution. We introduce a simple identity, the Feature Learning Equation, which identifies the weight Gram matrix as the key object capturing feature dynamics. This enables us to interpret gradient descent as implicitly inducing a hypothetical evolution of features, whose covariance structure, termed the Virtual Covariance, characterizes how representations evolve during training. Building on this perspective, we introduce Target Linearity, a measure quantifying the linear alignment between features and targets. By analyzing the training and layer-wise dynamics, we show that deep networks learn to sequentially transform representations toward target-linear structure. This linearization perspective provides a unified interpretation of several empirical phenomena, including Neural Collapse and linear interpolation in generative models.

Conditioning Gaussian Processes on Almost Anything

Henry Moss, Lachlan Astfalck, Thomas Cowperthwaite, Colin Doumont, Sam Willis, Philipp Hennig, Christopher Nemeth, Andrew Zammit-Mangion

原文摘要

Gaussian processes (GPs) offer a principled probabilistic model over functions, but exact inference is restricted to the linear-Gaussian regime. We establish an explicit equivalence between GPs and a class of linear diffusion models, recasting predictive sampling as an ODE with closed-form Gaussian dynamics and a likelihood-dependent guidance term that admits a simple Monte Carlo approximation. In the linear-Gaussian setting, we recover standard GP conditioning exactly; beyond conjugacy, the same machinery handles any conditioning statement admitting point-wise likelihood evaluation - including non-linear physics, and, for the first time, natural language via large language models. Whitening isolates the irreducible non-Gaussian dynamics, minimising Wasserstein-2 transport cost and eliminating numerical stiffness. The result is a general-purpose GP inference scheme requiring no bespoke derivations. Together, these results provide a general mechanism for incorporating the full richness of real-world knowledge as conditioning information, opening a new frontier for the probabilistic modelling of real-world problems.

Flat Features, Detailed Images? Simple Detail Control for Diffusion Transformers

Qingtao Yu, Zhen Wang, Jiyang Zheng, Minghao Sun, Hongdong Li, Dylan Campbell

原文摘要

Prompt engineering is commonly used to encourage text-to-image models to generate more detailed images. However, it does not provide reliable, continuous, or disentangled control. We analyze feature tokens produced with and without detail-enhancing prompts across six diffusion transformers and observe a common pattern: these prompts tend to increase the entropy of each token's energy distribution while largely preserving its ordering. That is, flattening the distribution increases the level of detail. Motivated by this counter-intuitive finding, we introduce a simple training-free approach that continuously adjusts the level of detail according to a scalar. Specifically, it shifts the squared channel magnitudes of each token toward a higher entropy distribution with a time-aware scheduler to concentrate the intervention at intermediate sampling steps. Across extensive experiments on different types of diffusion transformers, we show that our approach provides continuous control over detail metrics while largely preserving image quality and semantic structure. It requires only a few lines of code and adds negligible inference time overhead.

SynBench: A Benchmark for Differentially Private Text Generation

Yidan Sun, Viktor Schlegel, Srinivasan Nandakumar, Iqra Zahid, Yuping Wu, Yulong Wu, Hao Li, Jie Zhang 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

Synthetic text generation with Differential Privacy (DP) guarantees emerges as a principled approach that can enable the sharing of sensitive datasets across institutional and regulatory boundaries, while bounding the risks of re-identification and membership inference. LLM-based methods deliver promising results; however, comparisons are exacerbated by differing evaluation setups and "private" datasets, potential pre-training contamination is not considered and guarantees are not verified with DP audits. To advance this field, we introduce a unified evaluation framework with standardised utility and fidelity metrics and privacy audits, encompassing nine curated datasets that capture domain-specific complexities such as technical jargon, long-context dependencies, and specialised document structures. In a large-scale empirical study, we benchmark LLM-based state-of-the-art DP text generators of varying sizes (between 1--8B). Our results indicate that DP synthetic text generation remains an unsolved challenge, with quality deteriorating more as the private datasets deviate further from the generators' pre-training corpora. Our analyses suggest that synthetic data quality may be overestimated when LLMs have been pre-trained---without DP---on portions of the "private" data to be generated, and our membership inference (MIA) auditing setup for synthetic text reveals measurable membership signals even under tight privacy budgets. Finally, we note that under the "public pre-training, private generation" paradigm, the nominal $(\varepsilon,δ)$ guarantee does not account for exposure during pre-training, motivating contamination-aware evaluation of DP synthetic text generation.

Re$^3$Rank: Listwise Reranking with Reasoning-Conditioned Retrieval Heads

Ruiyi Yan, Zhuoyuan Mao, Yugo Murawaki, Yiwen Guo

原文摘要

Attention-based rerankers score each candidate by the attention mass that retrieval heads route to it from the question, but the question, serving as a fixed query, carries limited information for locating relevant evidence. We propose Re$^3$Rank, a listwise reranker built on reasoning-conditioned retrieval heads (RRHeads). A generator first writes a reasoning trace over the question and the candidates, and a scorer then uses the trace tokens as the attention query of a few selected RRHeads, reading relevance as continuous scores. We present a straight-through estimator to propagate the ranking loss through the discrete trace, so that the generator and the scorer can be trained jointly for ranking. Averaged over 9 benchmarks, Re$^3$Rank outperforms 11 baseline rerankers: our 4B variant exceeds the strongest baseline by 3.11 NDCG@10 points on average, and even our 0.6B variant surpasses rerankers with up to 32B parameters.

Energy-Based Policy Orchestration

Weirui Ye, Yen-Jen Wang, Elvis Hsieh, Zhiyang Dou, Shibo Zhao, Pieter Abbeel, Yilun Du, Leslie Pack Kaelbling 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Hierarchical control scales robot behavior by separating task-level planning from low-level control. In dynamic, high-dimensional tasks, however, a fixed planner-to-policy interface can fail when contacts, balance, or disturbances evolve faster than high-level policy updates. Execution therefore requires choosing not only which low-level policy to run, but also which policy-specific goal should be given to it. We formulate this problem as policy orchestration: runtime selection of a policy-goal pair that is likely to remain feasible while tracking the planner target. We develop EPO, an energy-based policy orchestrator for modular goal-conditioned policy families. For each policy, EPO learns a composite energy over low-level goals, where lower energy corresponds to higher feasibility and more accurate target realization. At runtime, EPO refines each policy's goal and executes the lowest-energy policy-goal pair. Because energies are policy-specific, new policies can be incorporated by learning their own energy models, without retraining the existing policies or a centralized scheduler. In simulation, EPO improves the empirical precision-robustness trade-off by refining policy-specific goals before selectively switching among policies based on energy scores. We further demonstrate sim-to-real deployment of the same frozen policies and energy models on real humanoid loco-manipulation tasks. Project website: https://yewr.github.io/epo

iCATS: Fast Video Generation via Interaction-Aware Sparse Attention and Timestep-Adaptive Sparsity

Chengfeng Han, Ang Wang, Baole Ai, Xianlu Bian, Jie Yao, Zilong Huang, Dandan Ding

原文摘要

Training-free sparse attention offers a practical acceleration solution to Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) via reducing computations without fine-tuning. It typically involves estimating the importance of query-key regions and deriving sparse masks to compute only the important candidates, which inevitably introduces approximation errors that may degrade generation quality. To better balance the efficiency-quality trade-off, we propose iCATS, integrating improved importance estimation and sparse mask construction with an efficient hardware execution strategy. Specifically, for importance estimation, unlike previous works that perform independent clustering over query and key tokens based on feature similarity to estimate attention scores, iCATS demonstrates that clustering based on query-key dot-product interactions is more accurate and further reformulates this objective as a simple quadratic form for low-cost computation. For sparse mask construction, instead of using a fixed top-p rule, we observe that tolerance to sparse approximation errors varies across denoising timesteps and therefore introduce an SNR-guided sparsity schedule to adjust sparsity dynamically, leading to higher accuracy. Finally, for hardware execution, we devise a tail-merging strategy to reduce padding overhead caused by irregular cluster sizes, improving GPU kernel utilization. Extensive experiments show that iCATS achieves $2.03\times$ acceleration with 31.017 dB PSNR on HunyuanVideo-T2V-13B and $1.55\times$ acceleration with 29.301 dB PSNR on Wan2.1-T2V-14B, delivering a state-of-the-art efficiency-quality trade-off.

Scientific Liquidity Agents: An Agent-Based Model of Knowledge Arbitrage in Scientific Communities

Koutian Wu, You Liu, Yue Liu, Zhiping Li, Ergan Shang

原文摘要

Scientific knowledge gains new uses when ideas, methods, and results move between research contexts. Understanding this process requires a model of both specialized knowledge production and the intermediary activities that connect it. We introduce Scientific Liquidity Agents (SLA), an agent-based model of knowledge arbitrage in scientific communities. SLA represents domain specialists and epistemic arbitrageurs within a shared environment of research problems, researcher interactions, and scientific artifacts. Individual decisions connect to collective state through a belief-desire-intention architecture, a prerequisite-based problem graph, a dynamic interaction network, and a persistent publication registry. The framework makes researcher roles and knowledge-transfer frictions explicit, providing a process-oriented account of scientific production and exchange. Two exploratory simulations with 10 and 18 agents produce 68 and 274 registered papers. In the smaller run, arbitrageurs take part in 16 of the 26 contact pairs that join this community into one connected component, while topical similarity alone splits it into seven. The same run yields three similarity edges, 26 contact pairs, and two coauthorship pairs, so measured community structure depends on what counts as a link. Paper production is abundant, but no recorded replication succeeds, which places the bottleneck in verification rather than production. Solved-problem sets correspond to the prerequisite reachability of the disciplines represented in each community. SLA makes knowledge liquidity, the movement and reuse of artifacts across domains, a quantity that agentic science can simulate and measure.

Interactive 3D Cutaway Visualization for Subsurface Target Localization in Robot-Assisted Surgery

Yuxin Chen, Wenxuan Wang, Wanwen Chen, Qi Zeng, Septimiu E. Salcudean

原文摘要

Purpose: Blended augmented reality (AR) overlays can provide ambiguous depth cues in which subsurface anatomy floats above the tissue surface. We investigate whether an interactive 3D cutaway visualization can improve robot-assisted target localization. Methods: We propose Virtual Box, an interactive 3D cutaway interface that allows users to independently manipulate the viewing perspective to inspect subsurface targets. In a controlled, counterbalanced within-subject tissue phantom study, 15 engineering students used Virtual Box and a depth-enhanced blended AR overlay to position a da Vinci instrument at virtual targets in a water tank. We used registered 3D transrectal ultrasound to measure 3D localization error and depth error. We also collected completion time and subjective ratings. Results: Virtual Box reduced mean 3D error from 12.92 to 4.96 mm (61.6% reduction) and depth error from 9.48 to 2.07 mm (78.2% reduction; both p < 0.001). Spatial understanding, depth perception, and confidence ratings were higher (all unadjusted p < 0.001), but completion time increased from 21.64 to 32.58 s (p = 0.008). Overall workload did not differ significantly. Conclusion: Virtual Box improved localization accuracy and perceived spatial understanding in this controlled task, with additional completion time, supporting further evaluation for surgical navigation.

FORGE: Fault-Oriented Rework Code Generation for Executable Interlocking Assembly

Fuqiang Wang, Jiahao Fu, Ren Hefeng, Yining Qian, Chuanting Zhang, Cheng Tan, Yuwen Liu, Jingxuan Wei

原文摘要

Large language models have demonstrated strong capabilities in structured reasoning and code generation, yet identifying an assembly fault does not guarantee the ability to generate executable rework programs. In interlocking assemblies, a locally plausible repair program may violate blocking dependencies, omit required recovery operations, or terminate in an incorrect configuration. We identify this challenge as fault-conditioned executable rework generation, where models must jointly reason about structural failures and generate programs that restore constrained assembly states. To benchmark this capability, we introduce FORGE-Bench, containing 4,000 tasks across 26 interlocking assemblies with five assemblies held out for evaluating generalization to unseen structures. We further propose FORGE (Fault-Oriented Rework Code Generation for Executable Interlocking Assembly), a structured state-to-program framework that decomposes rework generation into Rework Structuring and Action Grounding. Rework Structuring captures fault-induced recovery dependencies, while Action Grounding maps these dependencies into state-conditioned executable actions. Experiments show that locally reasonable repair code is insufficient for reliable assembly recovery, and that connecting structural recovery reasoning with executable action realization is essential for verified target restoration.

$S^3$-Nav: Structured Spatial-Semantic Decision Making for Language-Guided Robot Navigation

Chaemin Lee, Hae Min Cho

原文摘要

Language-guided robot navigation under partial observability requires robots to reason over spatial-semantic evidence accumulated across observations, particularly when goals involve spatial relations between objects. This paper presents $S^3$-Nav, a structured spatial-semantic decision-making framework that integrates online mapping, persistent object--relation memory, and goal-conditioned navigation. Using RGB-D observations and SLAM, $S^3$-Nav maintains a persistent object--relation memory containing object records and confirmed relation records alongside an evolving navigation context containing exploration frontiers, without requiring a pre-existing map. A goal-conditioned evidence interface selects task-relevant evidence from this structured state and constructs a capacity-controlled decision view as part of the high-level policy input for exploration, target approach, and stopping decisions. The persistent memory remains available for subsequent reasoning and verification even when some of its records are excluded from the decision view. To ensure grounded execution, provisional policy decisions are independently validated against persistent object--relation memory and current geometric evidence before physical execution or task termination. Evaluations across multiple environments and object- and relation-goal tasks show improved closed-loop navigation reliability and reduced language-model token consumption with capacity-controlled evidence exposure under the evaluated inference configuration.

Tune the Baseline First: Most of Muon's Scaled Weight Decay Gain Is a Tuning Gap, but Its Small Real Advantage Grows With Model Size

Esther Xin

原文摘要

Scaled weight decay for Muon (Muon-SW) has been reported to train language models more efficiently than constant decoupled weight decay, but such comparisons usually reuse one learning-rate (LR) and weight-decay (WD) setting for both methods. We re-run the comparison under the MAI-Base-2 protocol: LR and WD are tuned jointly through their product for each method, on a source-scaled mixture-of-experts (MoE) scaling ladder (1.9M to 15M active parameters) that holds tokens per active parameter and data repetition fixed across sizes. We find: (1) Most of the gain is a tuning gap. At the shared setting Muon-SW wins by 0.035 bits per byte (BPB), a 1.52x compute saving; after both methods are tuned, the gap is 0.0026 BPB (95% CI [0.0018, 0.0034]), a 1.03x saving, so about 90% of the advantage disappears. (2) The small advantage that remains is real: at the smallest size, all four paired seeds favour Muon-SW at the tuned settings. (3) That advantage grows with model size: across an 8x range of active parameters, the tuned gap rises from 0.0036 to 0.0051 BPB while the untuned gap shrinks from 0.035 to 0.024, so the surviving share rises from about 10% to 21%. (4) The best weight decay moves with scale: the optimal LRWD product grows for both methods, faster for Muon-SW (ratio 1.40 to 1.91), and a law fitted on the two smallest sizes overshoots the third by 1.3-1.5x, costing up to 0.002 BPB. The whole study runs on one NVIDIA T4 GPU; we release the code and all run results.
