Severity-Controlled Prediction Sets for Medication Recommendation

Yu Gu, Zijun Yu, Chi-Kuang Yeh, Xinyu Wang, Ziyang Song

原文摘要

Medication recommendation is a multi-label prediction task. However, existing prediction-set evaluation and calibration methods rely mainly on exact-overlap metrics and therefore treat all missed medications as equally severe, overlooking how closely the prediction set matches them within the medication hierarchy. To address this, we introduce Conformal Severity Control (CSC), a post-hoc framework for calibrating medication prediction sets under hierarchy-aware mismatch severity. CSC uses the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) hierarchy to quantify mismatch severity and controls patient-level severity without retraining the predictor, supporting both average severity and upper-quantile severity for the highest-severity mismatches. Experiments on MIMIC-IV show that CSC tracks user-specified severity tolerances and shifts prediction sets away from distant mismatches toward exact or close matches.

AscSpMM: Efficient SpMM on Ascend NPUs via Pipelined Vector-Cube Collaboration

Fei Li, Haoxin Li, Kehong Liu, Yanzi Zhou, Weiguo Wu, Shiqiang Nie, Jinyu Wang, Song Liu

原文摘要

Neural processing units (NPUs) provide high compute density and energy efficiency through specialized matrix engines and software-managed on-chip memory. However, their libraries primarily target dense computation. Sparse matrix-dense matrix multiplication (SpMM), a key kernel in graph analytics, sparse neural networks, and scientific computing, requires index-driven operand selection, indirect addressing, scattered memory accesses, and load balancing. These requirements conflict with the fixed shapes and contiguous layouts preferred by NPU matrix engines. GPU Tensor Core SpMM methods cannot be directly transferred to NPUs with decoupled vector and matrix engines. We present AscSpMM, which separates irregular operand preparation from regular matrix computation through a parameterized Vector-CSR representation. The vector engine decodes indices and gathers and reorganizes dense operands, while the Cube engine performs matrix multiply-accumulate operations. A double-slot ring buffer enables dependency-aware asynchronous pipelining, while operand reuse and runtime-adaptive tiling reduce cross-engine stalls. On an Ascend 910B3, AscSpMM achieves geometric-mean speedups of 2.36x over GEMM, 19.92x over an existing SpMM implementation, and 5.82x over cuSPARSE on an A100. It reduces matrix-input storage and peak HBM footprint by 48.24% and 22.98% on average, while remaining competitive with specialized GPU Tensor Core SpMM kernels. The code is available at https://github.com/LfLab-AI/Ascend-NPU-SpMM.

Rethinking Adaptive Routing on Dragonfly

Ziyu Wang, Dezun Dong, Fei Lei

原文摘要

The Dragonfly topology is widely deployed in leading supercomputers, where adaptive routing is crucial for high-performance interconnection. Despite years of research, a dilemma remains: state-of-the-art adaptive routing algorithms achieve excellent performance but demand hardware budgets far beyond what real router chips can afford -- prohibitive buffers, logically dependent floating-point operations, or exhaustive path-set traversals -- whereas realizable algorithms deliver unsatisfactory performance. Furthermore, existing algorithms fail to exploit the abundant almost-minimal paths in Dragonfly: when only the local channels of a minimal path are congested, they reroute packets to significantly longer global non-minimal paths, wasting global bandwidth and increasing latency. To address both limitations, we analyze intra-group path contention and propose the Decoupled Incremental Adaptive Routing (DIAR) algorithm, which decouples routing into global path selection at the source and incremental local detours onto almost-minimal paths, guaranteeing deadlock freedom without additional virtual channels, escape rings, or turn models. Requiring only a few comparators, shifters, adders, and multiplexers, DIAR reduces buffer overhead by up to four orders of magnitude compared with state-of-the-art algorithms, while achieving comparable or superior performance across all evaluated scenarios: relative to the strongest realizable adaptive routing algorithm in each scenario, DIAR improves saturation throughput by up to 30.0% across synthetic traffic patterns and improves performance by up to 34.9% (13.2% on average) across HPC workloads.

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

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

原文摘要

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

InfraRSI: Harnessing Recursive Self-Improvement for Training Infrastructure

InfraRSI Team, Yuchuan Tian, Haocheng Mei, Ye Yuan, Chao Xu, Boxun Li, Guohao Dai, Kai Han 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

While Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) accelerates isolated algorithm and kernel synthesis, distributed LLM training depends on tightly coupled launch settings, operator kernels, and communication schedules, where single edits often hit out-of-memory (OOM) boundaries, compiler conflicts, measurement jitter, or silent numerical drift. We present InfraRSI, the agentic harness that turns open-ended human commands into verified training optimizations via a five-stage workflow: init locks editable scope and a fixed task contract over workload, loss, and timing invariants to prevent reward hacking, doctor profiles baseline phases and calibrates cluster noise, run co-optimizes launch knobs and code patches before re-verifying top candidates against the baseline and logging findings to a cross-hardware experience bank, and report and apply audit source paths, track failed-trial costs, and commit promoted changes. Rather than stepping greedily from a single incumbent, InfraRSI initializes from diverse experience-seeded configurations and fits global execution-time and censored peak-memory models across all trials, including OOMs. Using these models, it prices per-setting memory costs, revises miscalibrated LLM priors from live runs, and pairs memory-hungry optimizations with memory savers and verified code patches. Across four single- and multi-node dense and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) LLM workloads, InfraRSI achieves a speedup of up to $2.75\times$ and lifts mean Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU) from $17.4\%$ to $30.0\%$, outperforming existing tuners and coding agents while transferring experience across GPUs. As it improves training infrastructure efficiency, InfraRSI forms a two-level Recursive Self-Improvement loop---revising priors online within runs and distilling experience across clusters---to push foundation model scaling.

Orthogonal Updates for the Win: Towards Accelerated Adaptive Minimax Optimization

Zhiwei Zhai, Xinyu Wang, Wenjing Yan, Lei Ding, Ying-Jun Angela Zhang

原文摘要

Single-loop minimax methods are appealing for modern machine learning, but standard stochastic gradient updates can be unstable and oscillatory under tightly coupled primal-dual dynamics, making performance notoriously sensitive to stepsizes. To fundamentally improve stability, we develop an orthogonal update framework tailored to minimax optimization, which applies updates along orthogonalized directions to reduce update anisotropy. However, orthogonalization reshapes the optimization geometry and makes coordinating primal-dual stepsizes even more delicate. To overcome this challenge, we develop AdaSGDA, which equips orthogonal updates with an adaptive stepsize rule driven by accumulated gradient norms. This mechanism automatically balances coupled primal-dual progress under orthogonalization, yielding an effectively parameter-free method for nonconvex-strongly-concave minimax optimization. We prove that AdaSGDA avoids problem-dependent tuning while attaining the state-of-the-art $\mathcal{O}\left(T^{-1/4}\right)$ convergence rate. We further propose AdaSGDA-VR, which incorporates a carefully designed variance reduction scheme and achieves the faster $\mathcal{O}\left(T^{-1/3}\right)$ rate. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our methods deliver competitive performance compared to existing minimax optimization methods.

SurgWorld: Learning Surgical Representations Beyond Observation via Latent Prediction

Jingkun Yue, Pengxiang Wang, Siqi Zhang, Zinan Jia, Yiyao Zhang, Huihuan Xu, Yichang Hao, Xiaohong Liu 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Surgical procedures are inherently partially observable, requiring surgeons to continuously infer evolving anatomical dynamics and future surgical states beyond the current observation. However, existing self-supervised learning methods primarily learn from observed surgical videos through masked reconstruction or predicting representations within the camera's current field of view, lacking the capability to explicitly model the out-of-sight surgical dynamics. Inspired by latent predictive world models, we introduce SurgWorld, a video-native, self-supervised framework for surgical representation learning, which treats a specified spatial or temporal shift as a pseudo-action and learns to predict the target latent representation from a partial observation. Specifically, we propose Out-of-Sight Dynamics Modeling (OSDM) as the pretraining objective for predicting representations conditioned on relative spatio-temporal shifts. We further regularize the learned latent dynamics from OSDM with a Geometric Visual Similarity (GVS) objective by aligning patch-level relational structures between predicted and target representations, preserving spatial geometry and local visual coherence for dense perception. These two objectives are integrated through an agglomerative training framework that consolidates complementary supervisory signals from multiple teachers to learn a unified latent representation of surgical dynamics and visual geometry. Extensive transfer learning experiments on 17 surgical benchmarks show that SurgWorld consistently outperforms existing vision foundation models across surgical workflow recognition, fine-grained action understanding, and dense visual perception. We further conduct tailored qualitative and quantitative analyses, demonstrating that SurgWorld effectively captures surgical dynamics beyond the directly observed context through latent prediction.

Tevatron-Elastic: A Unified Abstraction for Training Elastic Retrievers and Rerankers

Yu Wang, Shengyao Zhuang, Xueguang Ma, Zongyu Wu, Jimmy Lin, Vivek Srikumar, Zhichao Xu

原文摘要

A single model scale challenges the flexibility of a production retrieval system: some settings need it faster, others need a smaller index, and the right trade-off changes with the workload. In the context of information retrieval (IR), a transformer-based model can be made smaller in three ways --- using fewer layers, passing fewer tokens through the upper layers, or producing a shorter embedding --- and each way saves a different resource. These options have been studied in isolation, each as its own method with its own code and training setup, which makes them hard to combine or adapt to a new model. In this work, we present Tevatron-Elastic to bring all three under one unified abstraction: a single object names any size the model can run at, and a short schedule lists the sizes to train. Training then produces one checkpoint that serves all of those sizes, and at deployment the user has the liberty to pick any of them. The same abstraction covers both retrievers and rerankers and both encoder and decoder models, as it works through interfaces that Hugging Face transformers already expose; adding a new backbone can be a configuration change rather than a model rewrite. Prior methods --- Matryoshka embeddings, early exit, 2D Matryoshka (Starbucks), and layerwise token compression (LTC) --- become special cases of our unified abstraction. With Tevatron-Elastic, we also propose a new elastic algorithm Matryoshka~LTC (MLTC) to jointly train several token-compression ratios in one retriever checkpoint. To validate our framework, we train 20 checkpoints across three backbones and two tasks: the quality curves are smooth, full-point quality remains close to that of models trained for a single size, and a controlled study confirms the wall-clock speedups. We release the framework and all checkpoints to support elastic retrieval research.

Tevatron Meets Megatron: Expert-Parallel LLM Reranker Training on an Academic Budget

Zhichao Xu, Xueguang Ma, Shengyao Zhuang, Luyu Gao, Wenqian Ye, Yu Wang, Jamie Callan, Jimmy Lin

原文摘要

Training large dense and mixture-of-experts (MoE) rerankers is constrained by GPU memory and distributed-execution efficiency, which has kept academic reranker research largely on dense models. Tevatron trains rerankers through the Hugging Face Trainer with DeepSpeed and PyTorch FSDP1, a stack that stalls on three fronts: DeepSpeed ZeRO-2 has a known gradient-gathering failure on this path, FSDP1 full sharding is memory-safe but throughput-bound, and neither offers the expert parallelism (EP) that MoE training needs. We present Tevatron 3.0, which integrates Megatron-Core as a reranker training backend while preserving Tevatron's data processing, evaluation pipeline, and Hugging Face checkpoint format. For full-parameter dense 8B training, Megatron matches FSDP1 on BEIR-15 NDCG@10 with approximately 4% lower epoch time and twice the peak GPU memory under matched data-parallel and recomputation settings, and approximately 22% lower epoch time in its recommended configuration; it supports both LoRA and full-parameter fine-tuning. Expert parallelism makes it possible to train a 30B-parameter MoE reranker (Qwen3-30B-A3B) on two nodes. A controlled study of architecture, LoRA, and distillation on BEIR-15, with three first-stage retrievers and Hugging Face and vLLM serving, shows that the MoE reranker matches dense-8B quality at less than half the activated parameters and at higher inference throughput. We open-source the framework and trained checkpoints.

Relative Contact Velocity-Controlled Hand-Object Mechanism for Dexterous Tool Manipulation

Sunyu Wang, Jean Oh, Nancy S. Pollard

原文摘要

This work investigates how to enable general multi-finger robotic hands to perform the complete tool manipulation process, which entails picking up a tool, loading it into a suitable pose, and then wielding it. Inspired by human tool manipulation and mechanical design principles, we model the hand and the tool as a unified hand-object mechanism (HOM) composed of sub-assemblies. Specifically, we define a HOM as consisting of the hand, the object, and the generalized contact frames, allowing the HOM's motions to be expressed with the same set of Cartesian-space relative contact velocities, irrespective of the hand's kinematics and geometry. Then, we define a HOM's sub-assemblies as relative contact velocity and contact force constraints between fingers. Building on these definitions, we developed a lightweight and physically interpretable motion planning and contact estimation framework using least squares and a complementary filter. We evaluated our framework in simulation by teleoperating five different robotic hands. The results show that our framework enabled all five hands to execute the complete tool manipulation process, achieving dexterous behaviors even from identical, simple reference trajectories. Furthermore, the results showcase our framework's adaptability to different hands, tools, and tasks, enabled by its kinematic and geometric foundation.

Risk-Sensitive Reinforcement Learning for an Options Market Maker: An Empirical Study with Real S&P 500 Options

Jacky Chen, Ing-Haw Cheng, John Hull, Landis Li, Zissis Poulos, Justin Shi, Andreas Veneris, Zeyu Wang

原文摘要

Options market makers absorb client order flow and must hedge the resulting inventory risk under trading frictions. We study whether an option hedging reinforcement learning (RL) agent trained on historical market data outperforms three alternatives in tail-risk protection: (i) traditional delta hedging, (ii) simple hedge-ratio rules, and (iii) the same agent trained in simulated markets. Most RL hedging agents are trained in model-generated markets that do not capture the crashes and volatility regimes present in real data. We introduce an empirical replay environment using S&P 500 option data from 1996 to 2017 and compare against a matched geometric Brownian motion (GBM) environment, a stochastic-volatility (SABR) simulator, and a hybrid that values historical paths with Black-Scholes, all sharing the same portfolio mechanics, stochastic arrivals, costs, and test period. We train a distributional Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) agent and evaluate it out of sample over 2018-2023. The agent trained on empirical data reduces Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) tail loss by 3.1% compared to delta hedging and outperforms every hedge-ratio rule chosen during the training period and every alternative training environment. The reduction reaches 8.9% in volatile and falling markets, but reverses to a cost of 7-10% in rising markets. Empirical training induces a state-dependent short net delta: the policy under-hedges negative-delta books, most strongly after prices have fallen. This tilt disappears with GBM training and is weaker with SABR or hybrid training. These findings suggest that exposure to historical market dynamics can materially change a tail-risk hedging policy, although the evidence rests on a single test path and the edge is regime-conditional.

SAVeR$^2$: Reasoning-based Safety Alignment for Large Reasoning Models via Verifiable Rewards

Yichen Sun, Qirui Liu, Yan Wang, Jianan Lin, Linbo Jiang, Shiyu Wang, Zhibo Wang, Zhixuan Chu

原文摘要

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have achieved impressive performance via explicit Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning, yet this process introduces critical safety risks. We formalize LRM safety objectives as requiring non-malicious reasoning and answers, safety consistency, and explicit intent identification. We argue that existing alignment methods suffer from poor adversarial generalization, a significant ``safety tax'' on reasoning, and unfaithful coarse-grained rewards, primarily due to their neglect of the LRM's intrinsic reasoning capabilities for safety. To address these, we propose \textbf{SAVeR$^2$}, a novel \textbf{S}afety \textbf{A}lignment method via \textbf{R}ewards with \textbf{R}easoning capability. SAVeR$^2$ decomposes the safety objective into four fine-grained verifiable reward signals and utilizes a difficulty-aware data selection strategy to stabilize training. Crucially, we introduce a reasoning-preserving gradient projection mechanism that analytically resolves conflicts between safety and reasoning gradients, effectively eliminating the safety tax. Extensive experiments on models ranging from 1.5B to 671B demonstrate that SAVeR$^2$ achieves superior safety performance and significantly lower over-refusal rates across multiple benchmarks without compromising general reasoning capabilities.

Interactive Person Retrieval with On-the-Fly Visual Feedback

Lyucheng Qian, John Yuehan Zhang, Pingyu Wang

原文摘要

Traditional text-based person retrieval (TPR) assumes that a witness provides a complete description at once, whereas interactive person retrieval (Inter-PR) refines a partial description through question-answer exchanges. In this setting, the questioner inspects retrieved candidates to decide what evidence to request next, while the answerer sees only the witness-side memory and cannot report candidate-specific visual differences. Existing methods mainly learn offline question orderings, leaving this visual-feedback loop underexplored. To address this limitation, we introduce visual-feedback interactive person retrieval (VFI-PR), a new interactive retrieval paradigm in which retrieved candidates produce visual feedback that becomes evidence for subsequent questioning and re-ranking. To support training and evaluation in this setting, we construct VFI-PEDES, a dataset and evaluation protocol for visual-feedback interaction, and propose VFI-ReID, a framework that learns to use visual feedback during interactive person retrieval. Through the Dynamic Accumulated-evidence Retriever (DAR) and retrieval-aware question optimization, VFI-ReID adapts retrieval and question generation to evolving evidence states, turning visual feedback into complementary evidence for subsequent retrieval. Experiments show that VFI-ReID consistently improves retrieval across VFI-PR interaction stages, demonstrating the utility of visual feedback for interactive person retrieval and outperforming existing Inter-PR baselines.

Agent2BIM: A Systematic Evaluation of Reality-Capture Configurations and Prior Models for As-Built Modeling

Boyu Wang, Borja García de Soto

原文摘要

AI agents can generate as-built Building Information Models (BIMs) from reality-capture data, but the evidence required for accurate reconstruction remains unclear. This paper presents Agent2BIM, an agent-based Scan-to-BIM framework, and evaluates seven capture configurations in a research laboratory and a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) scene. Inputs include 360° panoramas, smartphone video, smartphone LiDAR, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), TLS with posed panoramas, and imagery supplemented by prior IFC models. Outputs are compared against TLS-verified reference models for component detection, geometric accuracy, and MEP connectivity. In the laboratory, component recall ranged from 84% to 100%, but only 9% of components reconstructed from panoramas were within 20 cm of their reference positions, compared with 86% using smartphone LiDAR. In the MEP scene, scale-free inputs recovered 11 - 43% of components, versus 75 - 93% for metric inputs. Prior IFC models improved MEP reconstruction but could propagate inaccuracies. The results highlight the complementary roles of visual and metric evidence in agent-based Scan-to-BIM.

Dual-Granularity Learning for Regression with Continuous Noisy Labels

Hui Guo, Boyu Wang, Grace Y. Yi

原文摘要

Learning with noisy labels has been extensively studied for classification, yet its regression counterpart remains relatively underexplored. Unlike classification, regression involves continuous-valued targets where label noise exhibits heterogeneous magnitudes across instances, which poses conflicting requirements on the model: correcting small-to-moderate deviations requires sensitivity to label values for instance-level refinement, whereas large deviations caused by corrupted or outlying annotations render exact label values unreliable, necessitating reduced reliance on exact labels and instead leveraging ordinal structure among samples. These requirements call for methods that capture both global structure and sample-specific deviations in a unified manner. To this end, we propose GRAIN, a dual-granularity framework for robust noisy regression. At the fine-grained level, we derive an explicit residual learning mechanism from a robust loss formulation, introducing instance-specific auxiliary variables to decouple label noise from predictive signals. At the coarse-grained level, we introduce a binning-based contrastive regularization that enforces an order-preserving feature structure aligned with label proximity, addressing noise beyond the capacity of local residual refinement. The two levels are coupled via a histogram-based bridging mechanism that enables bidirectional information flow: coarse-grained structural guidance establishes a well-ordered feature space that anchors residual learning, while fine-grained residual refinement corrects instance-level deviations that structural regularization alone cannot resolve. Experimental results show that GRAIN consistently improves robustness and generalization under diverse noise conditions.

DDBench: A Benchmark for Agentic Debugging on Distributed Systems

Yibo Yan, Huijuan Wang, Junzhou He, Yizhuo Liang, Shaoyu Wang, Huanchen Sun, Seo Jin Park

原文摘要

LLM-based coding agents have advanced rapidly on single-process SWE tasks, with frontier models now clustering in the high-70s on SWE-bench Verified. Distributed-system debugging, however, remains an under-explored regime: bugs span processes, nodes, and protocol interactions, with root causes rarely recoverable from source alone and brute-force exploration intractable across non-deterministic interleavings. This leaves two gaps in LLM and agent evaluation: no code-repair benchmark targets distributed-system bugs, and no controlled study isolates how much externally provided debugging context changes agent success on them. We introduce DDBench, a code-repair benchmark of 60 historical bugs mined from 13 open-source distributed systems, partitioned into three reasoning-scope tiers. DDBench evaluates every case under two matched conditions: a symptom-only condition where the agent receives only the bug symptom and repository, and a context-augmented condition where it additionally receives bounded debugging context (logs, traces, runtime state, and targeted code-investigation notes), isolating the effect of debugging context from model capability. The evaluation of 10 LLMs on DDBench reveals several findings. First, distributed debugging exercises a reasoning dimension that single-process benchmarks do not surface: models' pass rates span 45 pp, and pairwise bootstrap separates 6 of 15 top-tier model pairs at p < 0.05 on DDBench's hardest case-set. Second, bounded debugging context lifts aggregate pass rate by +19.0 pp, and the lift is asymmetric: weaker models gain more in pass rate, while stronger models gain more in efficiency. Third, debugging context requires careful curation, as even faithful debugging context can anchor a strong model on the wrong layer of the system when its observation sits far from the fault.

RAG vs. GraphRAG: A Systematic Evaluation and Key Insights

Haoyu Han, Li Ma, Yu Wang, Harry Shomer, Yongjia Lei, Zhisheng Qi, Kai Guo, Zhigang Hua 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) improves large language models (LLMs) by retrieving relevant information from external sources and has been widely adopted for text-based tasks. For structured data, such as knowledge graphs, Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) retrieves and aggregates information along graph structures. More recently, GraphRAG has been extended to general text settings by organizing unstructured text into graph representations, showing promise for reasoning and grounding. Despite these advances, existing GraphRAG systems for text data are often tailored to specific tasks, datasets, and system designs, resulting in heterogeneous evaluation protocols. Consequently, a systematic understanding of the relative strengths, limitations, and trade-offs between RAG and GraphRAG on widely used text benchmarks remains limited. In this paper, we present a comprehensive benchmark study comparing RAG and GraphRAG on established text-based tasks, including question answering and query-based summarization. We introduce a unified evaluation protocol that standardizes data preprocessing, retrieval configurations, and generation settings, enabling fair and reproducible comparisons. Our results highlight the distinct strengths of RAG and GraphRAG across different tasks and evaluation perspectives. Building on these findings, we explore selection and integration strategies that combine the strengths of both paradigms, leading to consistent performance improvements. We further analyze failure modes, efficiency trade-offs, and evaluation biases, and highlight key considerations for designing and evaluating retrieval-augmented generation systems.

They Can See It but Not Say It: Iterative Self Knowledge Re-expression in Visual Reasoning Relative Pose Identification

Mengyu Wang, Ken Deng, Yftah Ziser, Shay B. Cohen, Tiejun Ma

原文摘要

The task of visual reasoning relative pose identification (VRRPI) has exposed critical weaknesses in the multi-view 3D spatial reasoning capabilities of modern vision-language models (VLMs). We present a systematic analysis of VLMs' behavior in VRRPI, uncovering stable output biases where VLMs disproportionately predict specific motion patterns regardless of visual evidence. To mitigate these inherent biases, we propose self knowledge re-expression with iterative debiasing (SKR-ID), an annotation-free pipeline that adapts VLMs for VRRPI using only randomly extracted unannotated image pairs. SKR-ID transitions VLMs' output mechanism from generic next-token prediction to task-optimized classification heads. The pipeline proceeds in two stages: (1) a cold-start initialization using debiasing object-centric prompts to anchor motion inference in 2D visual evidence; and (2) a recursive logit-ranking mechanism that enforces statistical parity by using the median logit value as a dynamic threshold. Experimental evaluation across frontier VLMs on standard benchmarks demonstrates that SKR-ID significantly mitigates systematic biases. Our method improves open-source VLMs' Macro-F1 scores from 35.0-45.4% to 53.7-58.0%, without using any annotated data. These results show that SKR-ID can effectively improve 3D reasoning performance from a severely collapsed baseline. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/astudentuser/Codes_of_SKR-ID.

LoCo: Selective Local Competition for Discriminative Open-Vocabulary Multi-Label Recognition

Zhuoming Li, Bo Han, Xiaoyu Wang, Yuheng Jia

原文摘要

Open-Vocabulary Multi-Label Recognition (OV-MLR) aims to identify all queried semantic concepts present in an image. Existing methods mainly improve global image-text matching or text-side representations, leaving local prediction largely under-explored. In this paper, we revisit local prediction and reveal that it can serve as a strong discriminative branch once two properties are properly handled: spatial consistency of local visual features and compatibility-aware local competition. This perspective is motivated by local semantic sparsity: each image region is related to only a small subset of queried concepts, while compatible concepts of different granularities or types may still coexist locally. We instantiate this perspective with LoCo, a selective Local Competition framework for OV-MLR. LoCo adopts a spatially consistent visual encoder to reduce local feature entanglement, and introduces Selective Softmax to impose competition only among locally incompatible categories while preserving compatible responses. Multi-scale inference further improves local prediction at different scales. LoCo can also be ensembled with an existing global predictor to provide complementary image-level context. Experiments on four multi-label benchmarks show that standalone LoCo improves average F1-score and mAP over TagCLIP by 3.4% and 3.8%, respectively. LoCo + DualPrompt achieves the highest averages among the compared methods, with gains of 4.8% and 5.2% over TagCLIP. Our results suggest that local semantic sparsity offers a useful basis for developing more discriminative open-vocabulary multi-label recognition methods. The code is available at https://github.com/lee-plus-plus/LoCo.

Strong Connectivity Oracle for Multiple Failures via Rooted Flow-Augmentation

Aditya Anand, Thatchaphol Saranurak, Benyu Wang

原文摘要

We present a significantly improved $k$-fault-tolerant strong connectivity oracle, one of the most basic data structures on a directed graph $G$ that, given any set $F$ of failed edges of size $|F|\le k$, answers whether $G \setminus F$ is strongly connected. For every constant $k$, our oracle only uses $n^{1+o(1)}$ space and $n^{o(1)}$ query time. No prior result can achieve $o(n^{2})$ space and $o(n)$ query time, \emph{even when $k=2$}. Previous oracles either require $Ω(n)$ query time [BCR18], or $Ω(n^2)$ space [vdBS19]. Our main technical contribution is a \emph{rooted} version of the highly successful flow augmentation technique, which may be of independent interest. Given a directed graph $G$, an integer $k$, and a source vertex $s$, we can sample a set of edges $A$ such that each minimal $s$-rooted cut of size at most $k$ becomes an $s$-rooted min-cut in $G + A$ with probability $2^{-poly(k)}n^{-o(1)}$.

A Note on the Hardness of Partially Dynamic Max Flow

Thatchaphol Saranurak, Benyu Wang

原文摘要

We study the fine-grained complexity of partially dynamic max flow in capacitated graphs. Assuming the combinatorial 4-clique hypothesis, combinatorial algorithms require $Ω(n^{2-o(1)})$ amortized update time. Thus, recomputing max flow after each update is optimal up to subpolynomial factors for combinatorial algorithms in dense graphs. The previous conditional lower bound was $Ω(n^{1-o(1)})$ amortized update time under SETH or the OMv hypothesis and applies to all algorithms [Dah16].

Test-time reinforcement learning (TTRL) adapts pretrained language models to unlabeled target-domain data using self-generated pseudo-labels, whose reliability remains poorly understood. We analyze majority-vote supervision for TTRL with online Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) and decompose its error into population-majority bias and prompt-dependent finite-rollout variation. Because population-majority bias is generally unidentifiable without external supervision, we focus on mitigating the downstream effects of finite-rollout variation. We propose \emph{Prompt-Conditional Distributionally Robust DPO (PC-Dr.DPO)}, which conditions within-prompt robust reweighting on observed vote reliability to make updates from sampling-sensitive prompts more conservative. We further introduce a cache-based mechanism to reduce self-supervised forgetting during online adaptation. Across six mathematical and knowledge-intensive reasoning benchmarks and five model backbones, PC-Dr.DPO matches or outperforms the strongest TTRL baseline in 24 of 30 settings.

Large reasoning models (LRMs) improve task performance by generating longer intermediate reasoning traces, but this substantially increases inference costs and makes low-precision quantization increasingly important. However, aggressively quantized models often perform poorly on reasoning tasks. We observe larger activation fluctuations during the first decoding steps of reasoning. Calibration that omits these early states may miss their activation fluctuations. To address these reasoning-specific quantization challenges, we propose \textbf{CodeQuant2}, a clustering-based LUT quantization framework for low-precision large reasoning models. CodeQuant2 mitigates activation outliers with rotation and scaling, uses clustering to represent non-uniform weight distributions, and adapts codebook sizes to the quantization difficulty of each layer. Guided by our observation of reasoning-time activation behavior, CodeQuant2 further improves calibration sample selection to better match actual decoding statistics. Combined with our customized LUT CUDA kernel, CodeQuant2 delivers substantial accuracy improvements on reasoning benchmarks while achieving up to $2.85\times$ speedup over BF16.

OMG-Agent: Toward Robust Missing Modality Generation with Decoupled Coarse-to-Fine Agentic Workflows

Ruiting Dai, Zheyu Wang, Haoyu Yang, Yihan Liu, Chengzhi Wang, Zekun Zhang, Zishan Huang, Jiaman Cen 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Data incompleteness severely impedes the reliability of multimodal systems. Existing reconstruction methods face distinct bottlenecks: conventional parametric/generative models are prone to hallucinations due to over-reliance on internal memory, while retrieval-augmented frameworks struggle with retrieval rigidity. Critically, these end-to-end architectures are fundamentally constrained by Semantic-Detail Entanglement -- a structural conflict between logical reasoning and signal synthesis that compromises fidelity. In this paper, we present \textbf{\underline{O}}mni-\textbf{\underline{M}}odality \textbf{\underline{G}}eneration Agent (\textbf{OMG-Agent}), a novel framework that shifts the paradigm from static mapping to a dynamic coarse-to-fine Agentic Workflow. By mimicking a \textit{deliberate-then-act} cognitive process, OMG-Agent explicitly decouples the task into three synergistic stages: (1) an MLLM-driven Semantic Planner that resolves input ambiguity via Progressive Contextual Reasoning, creating a deterministic structured semantic plan; (2) a non-parametric Evidence Retriever that grounds abstract semantics in external knowledge; and (3) a Retrieval-Injected Executor that utilizes retrieved evidence as flexible feature prompts to overcome rigidity and synthesize high-fidelity details. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that OMG-Agent consistently surpasses state-of-the-art methods, maintaining robustness under extreme missingness, e.g., a $2.6$-point gain on CMU-MOSI at $70$\% missing rates.

Source-Free Domain Adaptive Object Detection with Semantics Compensation

Song Tang, Jiuzheng Yang, Mao Ye, Boyu Wang, Yan Gan, Xiatian Zhu

原文摘要

Strong data augmentation is a fundamental component of state-of-the-art mean teacher-based Source-Free domain adaptive Object Detection (SFOD) methods, enabling consistency-based self-supervised optimization along weak augmentation. However, our theoretical analysis and empirical observations reveal a critical limitation: strong augmentation can inadvertently erase class-relevant components, leading to artificial inter-category confusion. To address this issue, we introduce Weak-to-strong Semantics Compensation (WSCo), a novel remedy that leverages weakly augmented images, which preserve full semantics, as anchors to enrich the feature space of their strongly augmented counterparts. Essentially, this compensates for the class-relevant semantics that may be lost during strong augmentation on the fly. Notably, WSCo can be implemented as a generic plug-in, easily integrable with any existing SFOD pipelines. Extensive experiments validate the negative impact of strong augmentation on detection performance, and the effectiveness of WSCo in enhancing the performance of previous detection models on standard benchmarks.

AuthGateBench: Benchmarking LLMs as Authorization Gate

Zhixiong Zhuang, Jin Jia, Zhiwei Shang, Ziyu Wang

原文摘要

Automated approval systems let coding agents execute high-risk actions with minimal human oversight by delegating the authorization decision to a classifier, typically a large language model (LLM). Such systems, adopted in tools like Claude Code and Codex, remain vulnerable to failure modes such as scope escalation, where the agent takes actions exceeding what the user authorized. Existing benchmarks focus mainly on malicious requests, evaluating refusal under an implicit policy. We introduce AuthGateBench, the first policy-guided benchmark for authorization gating under benign requests. We implement a novel pipeline where an LLM generates contrast pairs with identical action and trajectory but differing request, flipping the label between block and allow. This allows us to assess whether models reason over context rather than the action alone. We further examine whether auxiliary environment signals can help models make better decisions. The resulting benchmark comprises 1,400 instances spanning five failure modes drawn from real-world Claude Code incidents. Evaluations show accuracy degrades unevenly across failure modes as models over-rely on internal safety alignment, and models still block most actions even when explicitly authorized, revealing unstable rather than deterministic decisions; retrospectively retrieved environment signals, however, substantially improve authorization accuracy.

UniRGBA: Unifying RGB and Alpha in Pretrained Video Diffusion Models

Lei Xu, Zhuo Li, Yongyi Jin, Aoyu Wang

原文摘要

Recent advances in video diffusion models have achieved remarkable photorealistic RGB synthesis, yet generating videos with a native alpha channel remains an open challenge. Existing approaches often rely on matting-style data and non-native RGBA designs, causing them to specialize in real-object scenes and to degrade severely on visual-effect content whose semi-transparency is spatially non-local and non-elliptical. We present UniRGBA, a unified framework whose key insight is that RGBA generation does not require a dedicated alpha encoder or complex latent-space restructuring---a minimal, targeted extension of the existing RGB pathway is sufficient. UniRGBA-VAE extends a causal video VAE to 4-channel RGBA via zero-initialized channel expansion, symmetric selective layer unfreezing (5% trainable), and a six-term progressive reconstruction loss anchored by a KL reference loss that prevents latent drift, followed by a two-stage schedule that introduces a lightweight GAN objective. We then apply standard DoRA to the pretrained DiT, reusing the unified 4-channel latent without any alpha-specific architectural changes. On a visual-effect RGBA benchmark, UniRGBA substantially outperforms Wan-Alpha on RGBA reconstruction while preserving RGB fidelity. For generation, UniRGBA outperforms Wan-Alpha on RGBA text-to-video tasks and matches or surpasses the original pretrained Wan2.1 backbone on RGB-only metrics, demonstrating that native alpha support can be integrated without compromising the underlying RGB prior or the model's architectural versatility.

When2What: A Timing-Conditioned Framework for Long-Horizon Forecasting of Continuous Cardiovascular Waveforms

Chaoqi Zhang, Shujie Yan, Zhao Zhang, Yanhua Sun, Yu Wang, Li Li, Lingzhong Meng, Xiaoyi Chen 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Long-horizon forecasting of quasi-periodic cardiovascular waveforms, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), arterial blood pressure (ABP), and photoplethysmogram (PPG), requires predicting both when future cardiac events will occur (beat timing) and what the local structural pattern looks like around each event (beat morphology). However, standard sequence forecasters trained with pointwise mean squared error (MSE) average across uncertain future heartbeat phases, flattening sharp R peaks and pulse upstrokes into featureless baselines. Our analysis of intraoperative ECG reveals a clear temporal asymmetry: beat-time predictability from history decays within seconds due to stochastic heart-rate variability, whereas local beat morphology aligned at true beat times remains stable over several minutes. Guided by this insight, we introduce When2What, a timing-conditioned framework comprising three stages: Predict, Commit, and Generate. Given a 120-s history, When2What predicts a dense 60-s timing map, selects and sharpens discrete beat events into unit-height Gaussian impulses, and conditions a neural waveform generator on both these committed events and the observed history. Across intraoperative ECG, When2What substantially outperforms existing time-series and physiological forecasters, achieving a near-term waveform event skill of 0.644 and reproducing 95.62% of its predicted heartbeats in the generated waveform where direct long-horizon forecasters collapse into flat baselines. Furthermore, When2What transfers zero-shot to external hospital and atrial fibrillation cohorts, extends effectively to ABP and PPG pulse waveforms, and is supported by ablations and synthetic analyses that establish explicit timing conditioning as an effective paradigm for quasi-periodic long-horizon waveform forecasting.

DexHOT: Learning Hand-Object Configuration Transfer for Dexterous Manipulation

Zhewei Gui, Anthony Bolton, Jiyao Zhang, Zeyuan Chen, Qiyang Yan, Tianyu Wang, Hao Dong

原文摘要

Dexterous manipulation involves not only moving objects, but also arranging the hand around them to maintain useful contacts and enable subsequent actions. Yet many learning-based systems specify goals primarily through object poses or trajectories, leaving hand-object configurations to emerge implicitly. We introduce DexHOT, which formulates dexterous manipulation as hand-object configuration transfer: moving between feasible configurations that jointly specify hand articulation and object pose relative to the wrist. DexHOT learns a reusable relation-conditioned transfer primitive from synthetic feasible configuration pairs, without human reference motions, and composes long-horizon behaviors through closed-loop tracking of configuration subgoals. On DexHOTBench with 120 objects, a single policy achieves 80.5% transfer success on seen objects and 69.4% on unseen objects; on a real dexterous hand, it achieves 61.5% success over 200 real-robot transfers and 90% task success across six demonstration-guided tasks. These results show that explicit hand-object goals provide an expressive and composable interface for dexterous manipulation. More details and videos are available at https://dex-hot.github.io/.

ResQAdam: Residual-Preserving Adaptive Optimization for Memory-Efficient Quantization Aware Training

Liqun Ma, Shengkun Tang, Liangyu Wang, Lin Zhao, Wei Luo, Xinjun Niu, Spandan Tiwari, Ashish Sirasao 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Quantization-aware training (QAT) is the most reliable way to obtain accurate low-bit large language models (LLMs), but training with AdamW keeps two dense FP32 states for every weight matrix. We find that low-rank memory-efficient optimizers such as GaLore and LDAdam degrade substantially in QAT. A considerable part of the QAT momentum lies outside its top-r singular subspace, and projection-based methods discard this part at every step. We further observe that this residual remains useful when only its sign is kept. Based on these observations, we propose ResQAdam. It keeps a single BF16 momentum, applies Adam only to the r x r coordinates of the principal subspace, and adds a normalized sign update computed from the residual. We evaluate ResQAdam with two from-scratch QAT methods and three QAT fine-tuning pipelines, with weights quantized down to 2 bits. It reduces optimizer-state memory by 71% to 74% relative to AdamW, stays close to AdamW in most settings, and lowers training throughput by less than 2%.
