Despite impressive progress, existing feed-forward large 3D reconstruction models produce a single, irrevocable prediction. When these models fail, there is no mechanism to correct their mistakes. To address this limitation, we introduce Click3R, a framework for interactive geometric correction of feed-forward models using sparse human correspondence clicks. Given an image pair and a small set of cross-view point correspondences provided by a user, Click3R injects geometric constraints into the 3D reconstruction networks through a lightweight point correspondence adapter, enabling the model to resolve ambiguities in challenging scenarios such as repetitive textures, symmetric structures, large viewpoint changes, or textureless regions. To evaluate interactive reconstruction, we curate a challenging benchmark specifically designed to expose failure modes of existing feed-forward 3D reconstruction methods. Experiments show that Click3R reduces reconstruction error with as few as a single correspondence click, improving performance on both standard and our curated benchmarks. Our results highlight that sparse human interaction provides an effective and practical mechanism for correcting geometric reconstruction errors.

The rise of Mean Field Games (MFGs) has fostered a growing family of algorithms designed to solve large-scale multi-agent systems. However, the field currently lacks a standardized evaluation protocol, forcing researchers to rely on bespoke, isolated, and often simplistic environments. This fragmentation makes it difficult to assess the robustness, generalization, and failure modes of emerging methods. To address this gap, we propose a comprehensive benchmark suite for MFGs, focusing on the discrete-time, discrete-space, stationary setting. We introduce a taxonomy of problem classes, ranging from no-interaction and monotone games to potential and dynamics-coupled games, and provide prototypical environments for each. Furthermore, we present MF-Garnets, a method for generating random MFG instances to facilitate rigorous statistical testing. We benchmark a variety of learning algorithms across these environments, including a novel population-based approach (MF-PSO). To our knowledge, this is the first benchmark for MFGs.

Human-in-the-loop Reinforcement Learning has become a popular approach for training, finetuning, and aligning robot behavior with user preferences. Our paper explores the feasibility of using brain signals via functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to modulate robot learning in simulation. We compare agents trained on passive (observational) versus active (demonstrative) interaction tasks, and test multiple methods for enhancing the RL algorithm with the neural signal, focusing on parameter augmentation in contrast to replacement. We further examine how model granularity and noise affect agent learning. Our results show that this framework is effective. The neural signal improves learning when augmenting trajectory priorities and state-action q-targets. Additionally, the framework learns successfully from offline data, offering a practical alternative for settings where real-time BCI setups are impractical or only limited data is available.

Mature, germinal centre-bearing tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) and mature lymph node follicles (secondary lymphoid structures, SLS) sustain the plasma cell response that shapes outcome and immunotherapy benefit in lung cancer. How this loco-regional axis differs between neoadjuvant-treated and therapy-naive tumors is poorly defined. We analyzed H&E whole-slide images of resected tumors and paired proximal and distal lymph nodes from matched neoadjuvant-treated (neoLUSC, n=20) and therapy-naive (naivLUSC, n=20) lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) patients. Aignostics Atlas H&E Tissue Analysis (HETA) models quantified cell densities per tissue compartment and cell-cell co-localization; a dedicated deep-learning model validated against pathologist annotations detected TLS and SLS and graded their maturity. Prognostic value was tested in an independent cohort (n=458; 46 treated). In neoLUSC tumors, stromal plasma cell density was 72% (p=0.004) and stromal lymphocyte density 48% (p=0.015) lower than in naivLUSC; macrophages and granulocytes did not differ significantly. Total and immature TLS did not differ, whereas mature TLS in the tumor (p=0.034) and mature SLS in the tumor-distal lymph node (p=0.003) were lower in neoLUSC patients. Peri-TLS plasma cell density correlated with tumor lymphocyte density in naivLUSC (rho=0.54, p=0.017) but not in neoLUSC tumors (rho=0.07). In the validation cohort, stromal plasma cell density (HR 0.69, p=0.011) and lymphocyte-plasma cell co-localization (HR 0.66, p=0.004) were associated with longer survival, and neoadjuvant status with shorter survival (HR 1.50, p=0.026). Neoadjuvant therapy is thus associated with fewer mature lymphoid structures and weaker coupling of the humoral compartment to the tumor rather than uniformly lower immune readouts. The stromal plasma cell/co-localization axis is a candidate prognostic biomarker.

We give a quantum algorithm for Lindbladian simulation given a block encoding of the Hamiltonian $H$ and a projected unitary encoding of the stacked jump operator $B=\sum_{k=1}^m \lvert k\rangle\otimes L_k$, with normalization factors $α_H$ and $α_B$, respectively. For evolution time $t$, set $τ=(α_H+α_B^2)t$. The algorithm approximates the evolution channel to diamond-norm error $\varepsilon$ using $O\!\left(τ+\frac{\log(1/\varepsilon)}{\log\!\left(e+\log(1/\varepsilon)/τ\right)}\right)$ oracle queries, matching the query lower bound for Hamiltonian simulation. The number of additional one- and two-qubit gates is linear in the query complexity up to polylogarithmic factors. The query- and gate-complexity bounds extend to Lipschitz-continuous time-dependent Lindbladians under coherent time-indexed oracle access. Our construction uses a one-query transducer that implements a product of rational approximations to short-time evolution when supplied with a catalyst. We bound the error from omitting the catalyst by exploiting orthogonality between different sequences of Kraus labels. The gate implementation combines a compressed Kraus-label representation, which stores only the positions and values of the nonzero labels, with the rotation factorization of Chen et al.

As large language models become more capable agents, they can exhibit deceptive behaviors, cheating human for higher rewards while appearing helpful. We attribute this failure to evaluation-side partial observability, where models are evaluated mainly from final outcome, without checking the faithfulness of underlying reasoning, tool use, and environmental effects. Prior mitigations address this partial observability by predefined evaluator latent belief space or one-shot monitoring, which do not extend to free-form language space and vulnerable to stronger deceptions that evade simple monitoring. In this work, we formulate deception mitigation as an Evaluation-Side Partially Observable Extensive Form Game (e-PoG), a max-min framework in which an agent maximizes reward, a monitor minimizes the agent's payoff by exposing deception from the full interaction trajectory, and a fixed verifier validates the monitor's claims and converts them into penalties. We define the solution concept as a Subgame-Perfect Oversight Equilibrium (SPOE) between agent and monitor, and prove its existence in finite games. With a perfect verifier, every SPOE is faithful; with an imperfect verifier, the guarantee persists if verifier errors do not reverse the ranking of monitor actions. To achieve faithful SPOE, we derive a two-timescale policy gradient algorithm and enhance the pipeline empirically with NLI verification and deterministic checks. Experiments with Gemma3-4B-IT and Qwen3-4B/8B on Agentic Role-Playing, SearchQA, and WebShop show that e-PoG mitigates multiple emergent deception modes, outperforming the strongest baselines by 26.0% in deception mitigation and by up to 39.8% in task success. These gains persist under weak-to-strong supervision. Code is available at https://github.com/Toyoid/deceptive-agent.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful but limited by static parametric knowledge that becomes outdated once pretraining ends. Knowledge editing addresses this problem by updating model behavior on target facts without full retraining. In particular, in-context knowledge editing has gained attention because it is training-free and readily applicable to black-box LLMs. Recent reinforcement learning (RL)-based approaches improve over fixed retrieval strategies by adapting prompt construction to the quantity-quality trade-off. Despite initial success, they fail to model the prompt as a structured entity under the distinct and often competing objectives of reliability, generality, and specificity. Previous methods largely optimize a single objective and make decisions over only part of the prompt construction process, thereby overlooking both the balance of different objectives and the global organization of demonstrations. We propose Multi-Objective In-context Knowledge Editing (MO-IKE), a multi-objective RL algorithm that formulates prompt construction for in-context knowledge editing as a Constrained Markov Decision Process. MO-IKE trains a dynamic retriever to optimize competing objectives in knowledge editing, enabling more balanced and globally coherent prompt construction. On Llama-3.2, MO-IKE improves edit success (reliability) from 85.0% to 92.0%, paraphrase consistency (generality) from 77% to 79%, while increasing retention rate (specificity) by 23.0% compared to prior RL-based methods.

Users are asking language models mental health questions and are receiving answers. We audited what 41 language models recommend to users when the same clinical information reaches them from three footings: a clinician describing a patient, a caregiver describing a loved one, or a person describing themselves. Across 19 case vignettes and five questions, we collected 35,055 free-text responses, extracted every intervention named with a validated judge, and had 29 models rate the full option lists on a seven-point Likert scale for the same cases. Models largely recommend what they rate well, with recommendation behavior differing by footing, and many models offering clinicians a consultation-style response and lay users hedged, simplified advice. When asked about recommendations for a specific intervention type, models more often named options they themselves rated below zero as initial choices, usually with conditions attached. We will release the instrument, code, and full corpus on publication as a living audit.

Tactile sensing is an indispensable modality for contact-rich dexterous manipulation, a capability that hints at the ultimate frontiers of embodied intelligence. However, commercially available tactile sensors are still at a relatively early stage of development, with each type of sensor offering irreplaceable strengths alongside its own drawbacks. A key challenge is thus to free tactile understanding from sensor-specific physics, so that embodied models can effectively leverage heterogeneous tactile data. To this end, we develop LingBot-Touch, a tactile foundation model characterized by the following properties. (i) Our model yields a unified representation across different tactile sensors (i.e., piezoresistive, magnetic, and visuotactile sensors), and is easily extensible to new sensor types. (ii) The resulting tactile tokens are plug-and-play: they can be seamlessly integrated into policy models across paradigms, from diffusion policy to vision-language-action (VLA) models such as $π_{0.5}$ and LingBot-VLA, consistently enhancing manipulation dexterity. (iii) Extensive experiments, spanning simulation and real-robot deployments across multiple hardware platforms, demonstrate that our tactile representation substantially benefits complex manipulation tasks while maintaining strong computational efficiency. We believe the findings in this work demonstrate the potential of leveraging cross-sensor data to scale tactile learning, and offer encouraging insights for the design of future hardware and embodied models.

Reinforcement learning is now the mainstream paradigm for training LLMs on agentic tasks, yet standard practice keeps only the best-validation checkpoint and discards the rest. We show that this is lossy: in GRPO training of LLM agents, the best-validation checkpoint fails on problems that earlier checkpoints from the same run had already solved, and the union of problems solved across checkpoints far exceeds any single one. The discarded checkpoints thus form a teacher pool obtained at no additional training cost, which on-policy distillation (OPD) can mine to recover the lost coverage. Mining this pool raises two challenges: i) which checkpoint to distill from, as no checkpoint dominates the others and complementarity to the student is problem-specific; ii) where to trust it, as even a well-chosen teacher is only locally superior, so indiscriminate distillation overwrites behavior the student has already mastered. We propose Agentic-OPD, which treats the best-validation checkpoint as the student and all saved checkpoints as frozen teacher candidates, using the student's evolving capability gaps to guide both teacher selection and supervision filtering: the HCN policy (Highest Coverage Next) dynamically selects teachers by weighted coverage of the student's unsolved problems, while the LAD module (Locality-Aware Distillation) confines transfer to failed student rollouts on problems where the teacher performs better. Across five agentic task domains and 24 benchmarks and task subsets, Agentic-OPD improves over its initialization checkpoint by up to 7.4 points, with a 4B student surpassing the latest frontier models GPT-5.6 and DeepSeek-V4.1 on deep search. Agentic-OPD recasts a finished RL run as a reusable pool of policies and establishes post-RL capability recovery as a stage orthogonal to improvements in the RL algorithm itself.

Weeds compete with crops for light, water, and nutrients, reducing yield and crop quality. Efficient weed detection is essential for site-specific weed management (SSWM). Although deep learning models have been deployed on UAV-based edge systems, a systematic understanding of how different model architectures perform under real-world resource constraints is still lacking. To address this gap, this study proposes a deployment-oriented framework for real-time UAV-based weed detection on resource-constrained edge platforms. The framework integrates UAV data acquisition, model development, and on-device inference, with a focus on balancing detection accuracy and computational efficiency. A diverse set of state-of-the-art object detection models is evaluated, including convolution-based YOLO models (v8-v12) and transformer-based RT-DETR models (v1-v2). Experiments on three edge devices (Jetson Orin Nano, Jetson AGX Xavier, and Jetson AGX Orin) demonstrate clear trade-offs between accuracy and inference latency across models and hardware configurations. Results show that high-capacity models achieve up to 86.9% mAP50 but suffer from high latency, limiting real-time deployment. In contrast, lightweight models achieve 66%-71% mAP50 with significantly lower latency, enabling real-time performance. Among all models, RT-DETRv2-R50-M achieves competitive accuracy (79% mAP50) with improved efficiency, while YOLOv10n provides the fastest inference speed. YOLOv11s and RT-DETRv2-R50-M offer the best balance between accuracy and speed, making them strong candidates for real-time UAV deployment.

We introduce Sage-Taiyi, a metacognition-inspired architecture that uses accumulated scientific understanding to guide what to investigate next and how to investigate it. Through explicit monitoring and control, the system revises its understanding of evidence, assumptions, and unresolved questions, then uses these assessments to adapt research targets and select reusable reasoning methods. On Taiyi-Bench, an AI co-scientist ideation benchmark comprising 265 tasks from 50 papers across ten disciplines, Sage-Taiyi ranks first on all eight metrics of historical rediscovery and open-ended ideation, achieving an Overall score of 54.0 compared with 47.9 for the strongest baseline, AI Scientist-v2. It also performs well on two external scientific ideation benchmarks. Five expert-guided collaborations further connect its proposals to experimental and computational validation across chemistry, materials science, and engineering. In chemistry, reaction-condition optimization raises the yield of cobalt-catalyzed carbonylation from trace amounts to 84% and photocatalytic allylic amination from 13% to 69%. These results support metacognitive regulation as an approach to scientific ideation and its progression toward practical validation.

In finance, the answer that matters is usually the current one: prices, rates, and disclosures hold only as of a given day, so retrieving up-to-date facts is a core capability of a financial agent. Yet most financial benchmarks overlook timeliness. They fix each answer at annotation time, so the gold goes stale as markets move and, once leaked into training data, rewards recall rather than search and analysis. We introduce LiveSearch, a live benchmark that stores each question as executable verifier code: a typed program of calls to a professional financial data service, followed by a declarative extractor. The question is frozen, while its gold answer is determined by executing the program against professional financial data at evaluation time, and a daily job re-executes it with no human or language model in the loop. A memorized answer is thus likely outdated, and a model must reach the current one through tools and analysis. Construction is equally automatic: a language model only verbalizes programs enumerated from real tool responses and never chooses an answer. Under general web search, six contemporary tool-calling models reach 70.9% to 76.7% answer accuracy. Over three consecutive days, 70% of served questions change their gold value, and even under tolerance-aware matching, a literally reused earlier snapshot fails on a majority of questions within a single day. Per-question tracking uncovers dynamic shifts in correctness masked by aggregate accuracy.
