Swarm Choreography Made Simple: Superposed Guiding Vector Fields for Rigid Formation Path Following

Jo{ã}o Machado, Matthieu Verdoucq, Christophe Jouffrais, Murat Bronz

原文摘要

This paper presents a decentralized guiding vector field framework for rigid formation path following in multi- UAV systems based on the superposition of simple rule-driven vector fields. Each control objective is encoded as a dedicated vector-field component: a normalized tangential term to ensure progression along a prescribed geometric path at a desired speed, a convergence term driving the formation toward the path, a local coordination term that preserves the desired formation shape through a pseudo-path parameter, and a local separation term for inter-agent collision avoidance. The coordination mechanism requires the exchange of only a single scalar per agent, resulting in low communication bandwidth. Partial theoretical results establish convergence of the swarm to the desired path and formation in the absence of the sepa- ration term, while collision avoidance is formally guaranteed. The approach is experimentally validated using a swarm of five quadrotors executing two 3D choreographies. The first experiment involves tracking a helical path while maintaining a rigid V-shaped formation. The second demonstrates a spiral- like motion obtained by a rotating circular formation tracking a vertical line. The experimental results support the effectiveness and practical applicability of the proposed framework.

BiHashFormer: Hash-Driven Dual-Branch Transformer for Efficient Object Detection in HRW Shots

Jingchen Huang, Wenxi Li, Chenyang Lyu, Moran Liu, Haozhe Lin, Yuchen Guo

原文摘要

Recent advances in gigapixel-level imaging have brought High-Resolution Wide shots to the forefront of research. However, these images present significant challenges: extreme sparsity of foreground, gigapixel-level resolutions and interleaving of foreground and background. This causes traditional detectors and attention mechanisms to be hindered by background, resulting in inefficiency and inaccuracy. To tackle this problem, we propose BiHashFormer, a dual sparsified branch transformer built on hashing. RoI Selector will predict the foreground proportion for top-k selecting target-containing windows. The compression branch processes windows selected and refines attention into HashAttention by discarding half of the key-value pairs, reducing cost and improving efficiency. The compensation branch uses HashMiner to perform low-cost hash searches in the remaining regions, recovering features of missed objects. Experiments confirm that the selection relationship in HashAttention is one-way and reveal the preference of different queries for keys. In experiments on the gigapixel benchmark PANDA, BiHashFormer reduces 37.5% backbone FLOPs while improving AP50 to 81.0%. Moreover, this parallel dual-branch structure allows the model to avoid inference delays caused by inter-branch dependencies, while achieving much greater stability than single-branch models, specially with low rates of RoI selection.

PentestEval: Benchmarking LLM-based Penetration Testing with Modular and Stage-Level Design

Ruozhao Yang, Mingfei Cheng, Gelei Deng, Tianwei Zhang, Junjie Wang, Xiaofei Xie

原文摘要

Penetration testing is essential for assessing and strengthening system security against real-world threats, yet traditional workflows remain highly manual, expertise-intensive, and difficult to scale. Although recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer promising opportunities for automation, existing applications rely on simplistic prompting without task decomposition or domain adaptation, resulting in unreliable black-box behavior and limited insight into model capabilities across penetration testing stages. To address this gap, we introduce PentestEval, the first comprehensive benchmark for evaluating LLMs across six decomposed penetration testing stages: Information Collection, Weakness Gathering and Filtering, Attack Decision-Making, Exploit Generation and Revision. PentestEval integrates expert-annotated ground truth with a fully automated evaluation pipeline across 346 tasks covering all stages in 12 realistic vulnerable scenarios. Our stage-level evaluation of 9 widely used LLMs reveals generally weak performance and distinct limitations across the stages of penetration-testing workflow. End-to-end pipelines reach only 31% success rate, and existing LLM-powered systems such as PentestGPT, PentestAgent, and VulnBot exhibit similar limitations, with the evaluated autonomous agents showing particularly low success rates under our benchmark settings. These findings highlight that reliable autonomous penetration testing requires stronger structured reasoning and fine-grained stage-level diagnosis. PentestEval provides the foundational benchmark needed for future research on fine-grained, stage-level evaluation, paving the way toward more reliable LLM-based automation.

Comparative study of global pooling for pre-departure ship fuel consumption prediction: Advantages over per-ship and adaptation-based approaches

Heungjun Im, Bongmin Cha, Agung Nugraha, Donghyun Kim, Seongphil Kang, Minwook Choi, Jeongmin Park, Jihwan Lee

原文摘要

Most fuel oil consumption (FOC) models for voyage planning are per-ship models and thus generalize poorly beyond each vessel's records. Transfer and federated learning have been reported to perform better, but under different protocols that often use inputs unavailable before departure or random data splits. It therefore remains unclear which approach performs best. In this study, we compare 11 per-ship, adaptation-based, and global methods on 21 vessels. To prevent leakage, all methods receive identical inputs known or forecast before departure, excluding engine RPM and shaft power, and are tested on intact voyage legs after all training records of each vessel. Global pooling, in which one model describes each vessel by its ship identity and seven ship specifications, performs best overall in every setting examined. For in-fleet vessels, Global LightGBM reaches an overall MAPE of 8.92%, against 11.14% for Per-Ship LightGBM, and outperforms every per-ship and adaptation-based model. Global models of five architectures, including a Transformer, all outperform the per-ship and federated models. Fine-tuning a global model for each vessel, even by low-rank adaptation of the Transformer, adds no accuracy. Without any records of a vessel, the global model reaches a median MAPE of 11.20% and outperforms a per-ship model trained on that vessel's records for 14 of 21 vessels. Adding its first records to the pooled data is as accurate as vessel-specific adaptation. Ship identity and specifications are largely interchangeable for in-fleet vessels, but only the specifications support zero-shot prediction. Its error grows as a vessel's specifications differ from the fleet's. Per-ship models and vessel-specific adaptation are therefore unnecessary under fair comparison. One global model can serve a whole fleet, including newly delivered vessels with similar specifications.

Targeting the Right Situations: Mutation Testing of Fuzzy-Powered Situation Hyperspace

Nawshin Mannan Proma

原文摘要

Ensuring the safety of autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) operating in underground mines is challenging due to the vast and uncertain Operational Design Domain (ODD). Traditional validation approaches, such as random testing, often result in inefficient situation coverage, allocating computational resources to low-risk scenarios while failing to expose critical edge cases. Building on prior work in risk-prioritized Situation Coverage, this paper investigates whether Fuzzy Logic-based risk estimation effectively correlates with real system failures. To this end, we conduct a mutation testing study within our SCALOFT simulation framework. A fixed set of software mutants is systematically injected and evaluated under two testing strategies: (i) uniformly random situation generation and (ii) Fuzzy-Guided risk-prioritized situation generation. Experimental results show that the Fuzzy-Guided approach achieves a higher mutation score and is more effective at exposing difficult-to-detect faults compared to random testing.

E-GenRM: Generative Reward Modeling for Open-Ended E-Commerce Shopping Agents

Ying Sun, Qiuyu Zhao, Xiao Wang, Xiyu Zhao, Gege Shi, Zenghui Sun, Jinsong Lan, Haihong Tang 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

We present E-GenRM (E-commerce Generative Reward Model), a generative reward model tailored to e-commerce shopping agents. User expectations are shifting from simple product queries to open-ended shopping tasks. However, existing trajectories and reward designs remain largely bounded by current agent usage patterns and known failures, providing limited guidance for further capability improvement. These limitations call for an integrated reward modeling framework for open-ended shopping agent tasks. On the data side, E-GenRM leverages naturally occurring user behavior across the shopping app to construct diverse, long-horizon conversational trajectories beyond established usage patterns. On the modeling side, E-GenRM first learns from behavior-grounded evaluation chains through supervised fine-tuning. It is then optimized through criterion-guided reinforcement learning, which rewards correct preference judgments and evidence-supported factual claims under each criterion. Personalized hard-negative training further improves its sensitivity to user preferences reflected in shopping behavior, beyond explicit requirements. We additionally develop an active evidence retrieval extension that acquires missing e-commerce information for evaluation. On E-GenRM-Bench, E-GenRM-27B achieves 87.40\% preference accuracy, outperforming the strongest baseline by 6.97 percentage points. In a 14-day online A/B test on Taobao, a shopping agent post-trained with E-GenRM improves the effective shopping-assistance rate by 1.39 percentage points and user satisfaction by 2.33 percentage points.

Resolution-Flexible Decoding for Hybrid Neural Video Representations

Taiga Hayami, Masaya Takabe, Hiroshi Watanabe

原文摘要

Neural video representations (NVRs) represent videos using neural network parameters and, in hybrid formulations, frame-wise latent embeddings. In conventional hybrid NVRs, the spatial size of frame-wise latent embeddings and the decoder upsampling schedule depend on the target resolution, potentially requiring large and non-uniform upsampling factors. In this paper, we propose a resolution-flexible decoder framework for hybrid NVRs. The decoder is constructed from uniform \(2\times\) upsampling stages, whose target feature sizes are obtained by tracing the spatial resolution backward from the final output resolution. After each upsampling stage, the feature map is aligned with the target size by minimal padding or cropping when necessary. To support this progressive decoding process, we further use intermediate reconstruction supervision and a reconstruction-difficulty-aware frame sampling strategy based on recent frame-wise losses. The framework preserves the basic representation format of hybrid NVRs and can therefore be applied to different backbones. Experiments on the UVG dataset at resolutions of \(1080\times1920\) and \(810\times1440\) show that the proposed approach improves reconstruction quality over the corresponding NVR baselines.

Q-CamTuning: A Multimodal Large Language Model for Fine-Grained Quality Reasoning in Livestreaming Camera Tuning

Yanchao Bi, Pengfei Chen, Yulong Yan, Qian Zhang, Biao Wang, Leida Li

原文摘要

With the popularization of livestreaming applications, automatic camera tuning has become indispensable for ordinary users to enjoy high Quality of Experience (QoE). However, the existing Image Quality Assessment (IQA) methods face two challenges in camera tuning. First, they struggle to identify subtle quality difference between images, which is common in camera tuning. Second, the ability to explain fine-grained differences and to provide suggestions for camera tuning are even more lacking. To address these challenges, we first construct FGLive-Comments, an instruction tuning dataset with rich annotations of both preferences for fine-grained image pairs and quality reasoning from global and local visual evidence, which supports selective adjustment recommendations of camera parameters. Based on FGLive-Comments, we develop Q-CamTuning, a multimodal large language model for livestreaming camera tuning. Its progressive perception-evidence-guidance framework learns quality-aware visual representations, enhances fine-grained reasoning with global-local evidence, and maps quality issues to camera-parameter adjustment directions. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that Q-CamTuning outperforms existing IQA models in both quality scoring and fine-grained image pair ranking. User study also validates its ability to recommend camera tuning suggestions.

BLPO: Beyond-Local Policy Optimization for Long-Horizon LLM Agents

Xuanren Chen, Chongyang Tao, Wenpeng Hu, Yong Wang, Bo Deng, Xinlei Zheng, Shuai Ma

原文摘要

Long-horizon tasks require large language model (LLM) agents to coordinate interdependent actions, a capability central to automating complex workflows. Stepwise group-based reinforcement learning provides finer credit than trajectory-level supervision, but reliable comparisons must account for differences in interaction history. Enforcing this consistency within the limited rollouts of each task can leave insufficient support for estimating action preferences. We propose Beyond-Local Policy Optimization (BLPO), which estimates task-progress advantages from experience shared across tasks and training updates. We summarize trajectory prefixes into task-progress states and abstract actions by their function, allowing corresponding decisions from different tasks to contribute to shared estimates. To control bias and noise from heterogeneous tasks, we accumulate context-relative returns in a global memory with balanced aggregation and reliability weighting. These global advantages complement local comparisons over normalized actions and trajectory-level credit without a learned critic or additional rollouts. Experiments on ALFWorld and WebShop with 1.5B and 7B policies show improved task success over the evaluated baselines under matched training budgets. Further analyses show faster learning and shorter trajectories with little computational overhead.

CAPT: Class-Aware Prompt Tuning for Federated Long-Tailed Learning with Vision-Language Model

Shihao Hou, Chikai Shang, Jiacheng Yang, Xinyi Shang, Shreyank N. Gowda, Yan Yan, Yang Lu

原文摘要

Effectively addressing the joint effects of non-IID data and long-tailed distribution remains a key challenge in federated learning. While fine-tuning vision-language models (VLMs) like CLIP has shown promise in tackling non-IID scenarios, it often degrades tail-class performance when both heterogeneity and long-tailed distributions are present, even leading to overall performance falling below the zero-shot baseline. To overcome this, we propose Class-Aware Prompt Tuning (CAPT), a novel framework leveraging pre-trained VLMs to effectively learn from non-IID and long-tailed data. Specifically, CAPT introduces a dual-prompt mechanism that synergizes class-aware and general prompts, enabling the model to preserve class-specific information while capturing global trends. Furthermore, to guide the prompts in learning targeted knowledge, we propose a heterogeneity-aware clustering strategy with two key components: similarity-based clusters aggregate class-aware prompts to reinforce tail-specific knowledge, while heterogeneity-based clusters aggregate general prompts to balance diverse representations and promote robust generalization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CAPT significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, e.g., by improving overall accuracy by 6.1% on ImageNet-LT and 8.8% on Places-LT over baselines, while also substantially enhancing tail-class performance across other benchmarks.

SyncHeC: Markerless Spatio-Temporal Hand-Eye Calibration via Differentiable Rendering and Continuous-Time Joint Optimization

Zhengdong Hong

原文摘要

Markerless hand-eye calibration under continuous motion requires jointly resolving camera geometry and the time offset between images and joint states. We present SyncHeC (Synchronized Hand-Eye Calibration), a dense differentiable-rendering framework that estimates both from a single robot trajectory. Continuous-time forward kinematics makes latency differentiable, metric depth complements mask contours, and an offline planner combines spatial sensitivity with temporal excitation. Alternating updates support Eye-to-Hand, Eye-in-Hand, and multi-camera calibration. On a 7-DoF arm, one $6.5$\,s motion yields $0.21$\,cm translation error against a marker-board reference, $0.34$\,cm touch-test error, and $2.7$\,ms latency error relative to an $87$\,ms reference with $95\%$ uncertainty of $\pm1.5$\,ms. Against CM-Calib on matched recordings, translation and nominal latency errors improve by $3.7\times$ and $2.3\times$. Experiments span seven arms and four depth sensors. Compensating the recovered offset during policy training and deployment increases success by $8.1$ percentage points across six families and six tasks ($1{,}800$ matched pairs; paired $95\%$ confidence interval $[6.3,9.9]$ points).

ILLRAW: Illumination-Aware RAW Object Detection

Xinzhe Wang, Xiao Liang, Xiaoli Zhang, Kang Ma

原文摘要

Existing RAW-based detectors typically introduce learnable ISP modules to convert RAW inputs into sRGB-like formats to fit off-the-shelf detectors. However, this RAW-to-sRGB paradigm decouples representation learning from the downstream detection task. Crucially, it forces the network to inherit human-centric visual priors while discarding intrinsic RAW advantages, such as linear sensor responses and high-bit-depth, minimally processed scene cues. In this paper, we propose \textbf{ILLRAW}, an \textbf{ILL}umination-aware end-to-end \textbf{RAW} object detection framework. Instead of reconstructing visually plausible sRGB images, ILLRAW directly learns detection-oriented RAW features through a lightweight feature adapter inserted at the input stage of existing detectors. ILLRAW estimates an illumination mask and introduces channel-sensitive embeddings to model Bayer-channel responses. These features are fused by an illumination attention fusion module. Experiments show clear improvements on the diverse AODRaw benchmark and competitive performance on LOD and PascalRAW, with particularly strong results under dark exposure.

MS-DOTT: A Multi-Modal Dataset for Off-Road Traversability Estimation

Shivani Subramanyan, Saksham Sharma, Samahith SA, Ahaan Kotian, Suresh Sundaram

原文摘要

Autonomous robots are gaining traction in off-road environments, driven by their rising demand in agriculture, defense, and search-and-rescue operations. However, these environments are inherently unpredictable and navigation remains a formidable challenge given the complex environmental conditions including challenging terrain and varying illumination. Off-road autonomy requires robust perception across multiple spatial scales and imaging modalities, yet most sensing setups struggle to capture both far-field environmental context and near-field terrain detail simultaneously across various illumination conditions. To facilitate development of robust off-road perception and traversability estimation systems, we propose MS-DOTT (Multi-Sensor Dataset for Off-road Terrain Traversability) a comprehensive multi-modal off-road dataset with long-range 3D sensing and short-range, fine-grained perception to facilitate high-fidelity terrain understanding by combining proprioceptive signals for tracking vehicle dynamics with exteroceptive imaging and pointcloud data. The dataset includes trajectories recorded across nominal lighting, low-light, and no-light conditions with diverse 2D and 3D sensing for both long-range large-scale and short-range high-resolution sensing, as well as 4D RADAR measurements that provide velocity estimates for detected pointclouds. We demonstrate the utility of the dataset by adapting a SOTA multi-sensor fusion method for the purpose of traversability estimation. This dataset will aid the robotics community in advancing research and development of methods for traversability estimation, off-road perception and multi-sensor fusion in unstructured environments.

Self-Supervised Super-Resolution for Sentinel-5P Hyperspectral Images

Hyam Omar Ali, Antoine Crosnier, Romain Abraham, Baptiste Combelles, Fabrice Jégou, Bruno Galerne

原文摘要

Sentinel-5P (S5P) plays a critical role in atmospheric monitoring; however, its spatial resolution limits fine-scale analysis. Existing super-resolution (SR) approaches rely on supervised learning with synthetic low-resolution (LR) data, since true high-resolution (HR) data do not exist, limiting their applicability to real observations. We propose a self-supervised hyperspectral SR framework for S5P that enables training without HR ground truth. The method combines Stein's Unbiased Risk Estimator (SURE) with an equivariant imaging constraint, incorporating the S5P degradation operator and noise statistics derived from signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) metadata. We also introduce depthwise separable convolution U-Net architectures designed for efficiency and spectral fidelity. The framework is evaluated in two settings: (i) LR-HR, where synthetic LR data are used for direct comparison with supervised learning, and (ii) GT-SHR, where super-resolved images surpass the native spatial resolution without HR reference. Results across multiple bands show that self-supervised models achieve performance comparable to supervised methods while maintaining strong consistency. Qualitative analysis shows improved spatial detail over bicubic interpolation, and validation with EMIT data confirms that reconstructed structures are physically meaningful.

Finding Errors Is Not Enough: Selective Model Escalation for Entity-Targeted Sentiment Analysis

Nishan Chatterjee, Matthew Purver, Antoine Doucet, Senja Pollak

原文摘要

Improving a sentiment classifier with limited resources involves more than simply deciding how much data to collect or which model to train. A labelled collection may lack examples of an important class. Once trained, a classifier may benefit from another model even when that model is weaker on its own. We study these decisions in document-level Entity-Level Sentiment Analysis (ELSA), primarily using South Slavic news. We first compare acquisition orders as collections grow. We then use uncertainty to choose which predictions to revisit, how many to process, and whether an alternative encoder or local LLM can correct them. Finally, we select complete routing policies on development data for held-out evaluation. Minority-prioritised acquisition helps at some very small training sizes, but not consistently thereafter. On SentiCoref, an oracle correcting all errors in the least-confident 10% without harming correct predictions would add 9.14 Macro-F1 points; however the best evaluated action gains only 0.90. Encoder averaging helps on AspectBench and NewsMTSC but harms SentiCoref, where selective LLM assistance is more promising. Both development-selected policies route 30% of records to the encoder-assisted LLM, yielding observed gains of 1.02 points on SentiCoref (interval includes zero) and 1.71 on NewsMTSC, at substantially different inference costs.

Language Models Can Benefit from Domain-Specific Inductive Biases

Damien Teney, Liangze Jiang, Zachary Shinnick, Hemanth Saratchandran, Simon Lucey

原文摘要

Language models are typically trained with a single choice of architecture on diverse domains and data sources. Modern transformers have been extensively refined for such general-purpose learning, but are they equally effective across different subsets of the pretraining data? We investigate this question by training small language models from scratch on representative subsets of pretraining data such as web text, code, and mathematics. We introduce variants of transformers in which standard activation functions are replaced with learned splines tuned on specific datasets, providing a simple way to modify their inductive biases. Using a mix-and-match of architectures and datasets, we evaluate cross-domain transfer, i.e. how well does an architecture tuned for one domain perform on data from another? We find that the tuned transformer variants improve training efficiency or generalization on all seven of our tested datasets, but the gains are often domain-specific. For example, architectures tuned on a natural language dataset such as FineWeb perform well on TinyStories, whereas those tuned on mathematics perform poorly on natural language. We identify several mechanisms underlying these improvements, including wider loss basins and more abundant "lottery tickets". Our results show that different subsets of pretraining data can benefit from different learning mechanisms, highlighting a limitation of the prevailing trend towards a small set of general-purpose architectures and optimizers. This points to an opportunity to improve data efficiency by developing domain-specific learning strategies that retain the ability to train general-purpose models.

Distilling Literary Sentiment from LLM Annotations into an Ordinal BERT Model

Artem Suslov, Takehiro Hashimoto

原文摘要

The scarcity of human-annotated literary corpora limits the development of domain-specific sentiment analysis models. This study investigates whether LLM-generated annotations can supervise smaller models for literary sentiment analysis. We fine-tune five BERT models using ordinal regression on 10,889 literary sentences annotated by Gemma 4 31B on a ten-point sentiment scale. The models are evaluated against 1,923 human-annotated sentences from Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea", alongside the teacher model and conventional baselines. BERT-large achieves a Kendall's $τ$ of 0.589, approaching the teacher's 0.604. Although a constant-neutral predictor achieves the lowest overall mean absolute error (MAE), BERT-base outperforms the teacher on non-neutral sentences, achieving an MAE of 0.726 versus 1.116. These findings demonstrate the potential of LLM-generated supervision for developing smaller literary sentiment models, while highlighting the limitations of aggregate error metrics on predominantly neutral datasets.

Computer vision-based estimation of small arthropod biomass

Mikko Impiö, Philipp M. Rehsen, Jarrett Blair, Cecilie Mielec, Arne J. Beermann, Florian Leese, Toke T. Høye, Jenni Raitoharju

原文摘要

The ability to estimate invertebrate biomass using only images could help scaling up quantitative biodiversity monitoring efforts. Computer vision-based methods have the potential to omit the manual, time-consuming, and destructive process of dry weighing specimens. We present two approaches for dry mass estimation that do not require additional manual effort apart from imaging the specimens: fitting a linear model with novel predictors, automatically calculated by an imaging device, and training a family of end-to-end deep neural networks for the task, using single-view, multi-view, and metadata-aware architectures. We propose using area and sinking speed as predictors. These can be calculated with BIODISCOVER, which is a dual-camera system that captures image sequences of specimens sinking in an ethanol column. For this study, we collected a large dataset of dry mass measurement and image sequence pairs to train and evaluate models. We show that our methods can estimate specimen dry mass even with complex and visually diverse specimen morphologies. Combined with automatic taxonomic classification, our approach achieves a median individual error of 10%-20% and produces group-level dry mass distributions that do not differ significantly from observed distributions. We highlight the importance of choosing appropriate evaluation metrics, and encourage using both percentage errors and absolute errors as metrics, because they measure different properties. We also explore different optimization losses, data augmentation methods, and model architectures for training deep-learning models.

TempoPFN: Synthetic Pre-training of Linear RNNs for Zero-shot Time Series Forecasting

Vladyslav Moroshan, Julien Siems, Arber Zela, Timur Carstensen, Frank Hutter

原文摘要

Foundation models for zero-shot time series forecasting face challenges in efficient long-horizon prediction and reproducibility, with existing synthetic-only approaches underperforming on challenging benchmarks. This paper presents TempoPFN, a univariate time series foundation model based on linear Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) pre-trained exclusively on synthetic data. The model uses a GatedDeltaProduct architecture with state-weaving for fully parallelizable training across sequence lengths, eliminating the need for windowing or summarization techniques while maintaining robust temporal state-tracking. Our comprehensive synthetic data pipeline unifies diverse generators, including stochastic differential equations, Gaussian processes, and audio synthesis, with novel augmentations. In zero-shot evaluations on the Gift-Eval, fev-bench and Chronos-ZS benchmarks, TempoPFN achieves top-tier competitive performance, surpassing the majority of models trained on real-world data, while leveraging fully parallelizable training and inference. We open-source our complete data generation pipeline and training code, providing a reproducible foundation for future research.

Foundational Requirements for Artificial General Intelligence: A Falsifiable Framework Based on Signal Prediction

Matej Šprogar

原文摘要

Grounded in the premise that high-level intelligence can emerge from low-level signal processing, we hypothesise a set of requirements necessary for artificial general intelligence. They characterise systems that learn by predicting spatially and temporally structured signals of initially unknown meaning, and draw on principles observed in cognitive neuroscience, from learning from an uninformed state to real-time liveness. To enable empirical testing and rejection of the hypothesis, we introduce a testbed of transparent, reusable tests, one per requirement. Failing a test exposes a violation of a requirement, but passing is not conclusive: a transparent testbed cannot detect systems engineered around its tests, and such systems can pass it without being intelligent. Passing is therefore meaningful only for systems developed without knowledge of the tests, and none has yet been reported. The testbed thus serves as a necessary-condition filter rather than as proof of progress toward general intelligence. Its reference implementation is publicly available.

Utility-Aware Generative Recommendation: Utility-Enriched Semantic Codes and Utility-Guided Decoding

Yang Hu, Duo Wang, Ning Li, Kang Li, Junda She, Chengcheng Guo, Kuo Cai, Bin Liu 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Generative recommendation has been widely adopted in large-scale industrial recommendation systems, where multimodal item embeddings are quantized into offline semantic identifiers (SIDs) and items are retrieved by autoregressively generating their SIDs. However, conventional SID construction often underrepresents item utility reflected in post-exposure behaviors such as shares, long views, and video completion, making semantically similar items with different utility insufficiently distinguishable while struggling to accommodate rapidly changing utility signals. Moreover, generation likelihood may be misaligned with downstream utility, causing high-utility candidates to be prematurely pruned during beam search before post-generation reranking or training-time reward alignment can effectively compensate. To address these limitations, we propose UAGR, which aligns both SID construction and decoding with downstream multi-objective utility. Our Utility-Enriched Semantic Codes preserve the original semantic information while incorporating item-level utility without increasing SID length or vocabulary size, supporting incremental utility updates with no additional tokenization or sequence-decoding cost. Meanwhile, our Utility-Guided Decoding estimates candidate utility by combining predictions of multiple post-exposure outcomes and incorporates these estimates into beam scoring, reducing the risk of prematurely pruning high-utility paths while enabling flexible utility control without interfering with generative backbone training. Extensive offline experiments and online A/B tests under real-world traffic demonstrate the effectiveness and deployability of UAGR, which has been fully deployed on Kuaishou and increases video watch time by 0.206\% online.

MSP-LLM: A Structured Large Language Model Framework for Inorganic Material Synthesis Planning

Heewoong Noh, Gyoung S. Na, Namkyeong Lee, Chanyoung Park

原文摘要

Material synthesis planning (MSP) remains a fundamental and underexplored bottleneck in AI-driven materials discovery, as it requires not only identifying suitable precursor materials but also designing coherent sequences of synthesis operations to realize a target material. Although several AI-based approaches have been proposed to address isolated subtasks of MSP, a methodology for solving the entire MSP task has yet to be established. We propose MSP-LLM, a structured LLM-based framework that formulates MSP as a two-stage process composed of two constituent subproblems: precursor prediction (PP) and synthesis operation prediction (SOP). Our approach introduces a discrete material class as an intermediate decision variable that organizes both tasks into a chemically consistent decision chain. For SOP, we further incorporate hierarchical precursor types as synthesis-relevant inductive biases and employ precursor constraint factorization that preserves precursor-related information in the autoregressive decoding state. Extensive experiments show that MSP-LLM consistently outperforms existing methods on both PP and SOP, as well as on the MSP task, demonstrating an effective and scalable framework with practical potential for autonomous MSP.

Silent Revision: Measuring Undisclosed Change in the Safety Frameworks of Frontier AI Developers

Louis Yiven Zhu

原文摘要

Frontier AI developers publish safety frameworks that commit them to evidencing whether their models are dangerous. The European Union and California now treat these documents as instruments of accountability and impose duties on their revision. Neither requires the developer's account to identify each change to a commitment. We introduce the silent revision rate, the share of material changes to a framework's commitments that the developer's published account does not identify, and we release the versioned, hash-pinned corpus needed to compute it. The corpus holds every public version of the safety frameworks of the twelve developers that have published one, with each provider's changelog, redline or announcement. We trace 710 commitment instances across twelve consecutive version pairs, code them against a frozen codebook, and check the coding with three independent re-runs, a blind re-coding of every disputed row and a second coding of a stratified sample. First, 64% of material changes (95% CI 59 to 69) are silent under a strict standard and 30% under a lenient one. Second, the form of the account matters less than its granularity. Narrative and itemised accounts differ by eight points that eight pairs cannot separate from chance, whereas the rate falls with the number of discrete items a provider publishes. Third, 75% of traced changes weaken or remove a commitment, and weakenings are silent more often than strengthenings, at 70% against 52%. A justification explains why a framework changed and an enumeration states what changed, and only the latter makes revision auditable. We argue that publication duties should carry an enumeration duty, which one provider already meets, voluntarily and incompletely.

A Kernel Nonconformity Score for Multivariate Conformal Prediction

Louis Meyer, Wenkai Xu

原文摘要

Multivariate conformal prediction requires nonconformity scores that compress residual vectors into scalars while preserving certain implicit geometric structure of the residual distribution. We introduce a Multivariate Kernel Score (MKS) that produces prediction regions that explicitly adapt to this geometry. We show that the proposed score resembles the Gaussian process posterior variance, unifying Bayesian uncertainty quantification with the coverage guarantees of frequentist-type. Moreover, the MKS can be decomposed into an anisotropic Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) that interpolates between kernel density estimation and covariance-weighted distance. We prove finite-sample coverage guarantees and establish convergence rates that depend on the effective rank of the kernel-based covariance operator rather than the ambient dimension, enabling dimension-free adaptation. On regression tasks, the MKS reduces the volume of prediction regions significantly, compared to ellipsoidal baselines while maintaining nominal coverage, with larger gains at higher dimensions and tighter coverage levels.

ReContact: Reconstruct and Retarget Human Contacts from Video for Contact-Rich Humanoid Manipulation

Zhongkai Gu, Yang Liu, Wei Zhu, Mitsuhiro Hayashibe

原文摘要

Contact transitions allow humanoid robots to redistribute object support across the whole body, enabling manipulation beyond hand-only grasps. Human videos provide a scalable source of such transitions for robots to learn from. However, body occlusion disrupts object pose tracking and corrupts retargeted motion. Moreover, accurately reproducing the object trajectory does not ensure that the robot applies stabilizing forces at the intended contacts, risking slips or drops in later phases. To address these challenges, we propose ReContact, which reconstructs and retargets human-object interactions through an object-centric contact plan. The plan specifies contact phases, contact pairs, anchors, pressing directions, and sticking or sliding modes. Contact priors stabilize object pose reconstruction through occlusion. A residual policy over a frozen whole-body tracker is rewarded for making contact at planned anchors with forces aligned to the specified directions. In simulation, on a thigh-supported regrasp task, ReContact achieves the planned two-palm bottom hold in 83.5 of episodes over three training seeds, versus 0.16% for the best adapted baseline. One policy trained on 247 references re-solved for new placements raises in-workspace tube-transfer success from 20.4% (source reference only) to 97.8%. On a real Unitree G1, policies execute seven contact-rich manipulation and two loco-manipulation tasks.

SHq: Learnable Grids for LLM Weight Quantization

Michael Helcig, Earl Killian, Dan Alistarh

原文摘要

Block-scaled lookup-table (LUT) formats, which represent weights as indices into a small value set (the grid), have become standard for low-bit LLM quantization, ranging from NF4 and BOF4 to the 3-bit LUT instruction in NVIDIA Rubin. While these formats leave the grid definition flexible, existing implementations rely on fixed grids derived either from numerical data types (INT, FP) or assumed weight distributions (NF, BOF). We demonstrate that no single fixed grid is universally optimal; the best fixed grid varies with bit-width: BOFS at 2 bits, NF at 4 and 5 bits, and INT at 6 bits. We introduce SHq, a closed-form family of grids parameterized by two critical degrees of freedom: a companding strength α that interpolates level spacing from uniform to floating-point-like, and an offset c that introduces asymmetry. This offset allows the sign bit of the FP8 block scale, otherwise unused, to select between the grid and its mirror image, up to doubling the number of distinct values available per block. SHq modifies only the lookup table contents and serves as a drop-in replacement for the grid in any such format. Across five models ranging from 3B to 35B parameters, including a mixture-of-experts architecture, evaluated at 2-6 bits using RTN and GPTQ, SHq achieves the lowest KL divergence in every setting at 3 and 4 bits and in most settings at 2, 5 and 6 bits. It outperforms the best fixed grid by up to 34% and remains superior under mixed-precision configurations. At 4.5 bits per weight, the SHq format reduces the KL divergence of NVFP4 by 41-67% while improving downstream accuracy. Grid families incorporating both spacing and offset parameters perform comparably, whereas those lacking an offset exhibit clearly higher error, confirming that these two degrees of freedom drive the observed gains. We therefore propose SHq as the standard grid for block-scaled lookup-table formats.

Not Another Text Benchmark: Putting the "Visual" Back in Visual Question Answering for Large Video Models

Rwiddhi Chakraborty, Yinong Oliver Wang, Cheng Zhang, Fan Bai, Zhuoran Yu, Michael Kampffmeyer, Yong Jae Lee, Fernando De la Torre 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Large video models have exhibited impressive performance on a wide range of visual question answering tasks, owing to the rise of powerful, pretrained text and vision encoders. The usefulness of such models have also been demonstrated on a wide range of benchmarks, with an important caveat - the dominant approach in these benchmarks evaluates multiple choice reasoning via text options. This is a natural way to test text-based reasoning in these models, and has led to significant insights regarding model behavior in the community. In this work, we ask a different question - what happens when the evaluation modality is visual, rather than text? We introduce three new vision-centric evaluation benchmarks in temporal frame retrieval, video future prediction, and causal memory distortion, all designed around evaluating visual understanding capabilities in large video models. Our approach complements the existing approaches to evaluate video understanding in frontier models. We show that current frontier models exhibit significant weakness when attempting to reason through visual queries, rather than text. We conclude with an extended analysis section that provides pointers for future improvements in visual understanding for large video models.

One Image Is Enough: Self-Generated Supervision for Personalizing Human Video Diffusion at Test Time

Sadman Rakib Pinon, Adamo Orsini, Yanis Falaki, Linlian Jiang, Jacob Kingi, Yang Wang, Xinxin Zuo

原文摘要

Pose-driven human video diffusion animates a person from a single reference image and a target pose sequence, yet it struggles to preserve identity, rendering the face and garments unfaithfully as the pose departs from it. Personalization is the standard remedy, but its supervision is missing: one image fixes identity at a single pose, while a multi-pose subject video cannot be assumed in practice. Instead, we synthesize the missing supervision. A domain-tuned, pose-conditioned generator produces pseudo-ground-truth frames at selected key poses. An inference-time reference-only sampler steers these candidates toward the subject and keeps the most identity-consistent. A per-subject low-rank adapter then trains on static clips of them, configured from the reference alone, with no subject video, ground truth, or labels. Although lower in fidelity, these synthetic frames supervise more effectively than real ones. Real frames as captured carry motion that erodes the temporal prior, while a static clip conveys appearance alone. On TikTok and UBC Fashion, the adapted model improves the base on every metric, inverts the identity-versus-motion trade-off, and matches or surpasses adaptation on five real frames despite using none. Code and weights are available at https://github.com/SadmanPinon/one-image-is-enough.

EAvatar: Expression-Aware Head Avatar Reconstruction with Generative Geometry Priors

Shikun Zhang, Cunjian Chen, Yiqun Wang, Yong Li

原文摘要

High-fidelity head avatar reconstruction plays a crucial role in AR/VR, gaming, and multimedia content creation. Recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have demonstrated effectiveness in modeling complex geometry with real-time rendering capability and are now widely used in high-fidelity head avatar reconstruction tasks. However, existing 3DGS-based methods still face significant challenges in capturing fine-grained facial expressions and preserving local texture continuity, especially in highly deformable regions. To mitigate these limitations, we propose a novel 3DGS-based framework termed EAvatar for head reconstruction that is both expression-aware and deformation-aware. Our method introduces a sparse expression control mechanism, where a small number of key Gaussians are used to influence the deformation of their neighboring Gaussians, enabling accurate modeling of local deformations and fine-scale texture transitions. Furthermore, we leverage high-quality 3D priors from pretrained generative models to provide a more reliable facial geometry, offering structural guidance that improves convergence stability and shape accuracy during training. Experimental results demonstrate that our method produces more accurate and visually coherent head reconstructions with improved expression controllability and detail fidelity.

Specification-Aware Predictive Uncertainty Decomposition

原文摘要

Classical decompositions of predictive uncertainty, such as the information-theoretic one, are defined for a fixed representation $x$ of the input object. They do not consider that $x$ may be incomplete, nor do they measure how much the missing information can affect the prediction. In Large Language Models, users can clarify an underspecified input without any retraining. The clarified input can describe the user's unobserved intent $z^*$ more accurately and change the predictive uncertainty about the outcome. In this paper, we formalize this setting probabilistically and derive a three-term decomposition of prediction risk into specification, residual aleatoric, and epistemic uncertainties. We show that at the original information level, when only $x$ is available, the aleatoric uncertainty, represented by a Bayes risk, has two components. The first, which we call specification uncertainty, is the expected reduction in this Bayes risk from revealing the intent. The second is the residual aleatoric uncertainty, i.e., the Bayes risk that remains once the intent is known, averaged over its possible values $z$ given $x$. The distinction is important, as specification uncertainty informs the decision to request clarification before making a prediction. We build approximations of these components and connect them to existing uncertainty measures. Our experiments across different domains and modalities show distinct roles for the three components. Specification uncertainty is the most informative for detecting underspecified inputs, while residual aleatoric uncertainty is the most informative for detecting in-distribution prediction errors.
