Rethinking Group Recommender Systems in the Era of Generative AI: From One-Shot Recommendations to Conversational Group Decision Support

Dietmar Jannach, Amra Delić, Francesco Ricci, Markus Zanker

原文摘要

More than twenty-five years ago, early ideas emerged on how to design systems that provide recommendations to groups of users rather than individuals. Since then, a wide range of algorithmic approaches has been proposed to elicit individual preferences, aggregate them, and generate group recommendations. However, despite this substantial body of work, relatively few examples of real-world group recommender systems are in use. This observation invites reflection on the assumptions of the academic research, particularly regarding how inter-group communication unfolds and how recommendation-supported decisions should be made. In this essay, we suggest that some of these assumptions and corresponding system designs may not fully align with users' needs or expectations. We therefore outline a forward-looking perspective that explores how insights from group-decision making research and recent advances in Generative AI, including systems such as ChatGPT, could better inform the design of group recommender systems. As one possible direction, we consider settings in which human group members interact and exchange information through a chat based interface, while an AI-based agent supports the decision-making process. Such an approach may contribute to design more natural group and system interactions, and could help facilitate a broader adoption of group recommender systems in practice.

Invert4TVG: A Temporal Video Grounding Framework with Inversion Tasks Preserving Action Understanding Ability

Zhaoyu Chen, Hongnan Lin, Yongwei Nie, Fei Ma, Xuemiao Xu, Fei Yu, Chengjiang Long

原文摘要

Temporal Video Grounding (TVG) aims to localize video segments corresponding to a given textual query, which often describes human actions. However, we observe that current methods, usually optimizing for high temporal Intersection-over-Union (IoU), frequently struggle to accurately recognize or understand the underlying actions in both the video and query, thus reducing the effectiveness of these methods. To address this, we propose a novel TVG framework that integrates inversion-based TVG as auxiliary objectives to maintain the model's action understanding ability. We introduce three kinds of inversion TVG tasks derived from the original TVG annotations: (1) Verb Completion, predicting masked verbs (actions) in queries given video segments; (2) Action Recognition, identifying query-described actions; and (3) Video Description, generating descriptions containing query-relevant actions given video segments. These inversion tasks are entirely derived from the original TVG tasks and are probabilistically integrated with them within a reinforcement learning framework. By leveraging carefully designed reward functions, the model preserves its ability to understand actions, thereby improving the accuracy of temporal grounding. Experiments show our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, achieving a 7.1\% improvement in R1@0.7 on Charades-STA for a 3B model.

Efficient Evaluation of LLM Performance with Statistical Guarantees

Skyler Wu, Yash Nair, Emmanuel J. Candès

原文摘要

Exhaustively evaluating many large language models (LLMs) on a large suite of benchmarks is expensive. We cast benchmarking as finite-population inference and, under a fixed query budget, seek tight confidence intervals (CIs) for model accuracy with asymptotic frequentist coverage. We propose Factorized Active Querying (FAQ), which (a) leverages historical information through a Bayesian factor model; (b) adaptively selects questions using a hybrid variance-reduction/active-learning sampling policy; and (c) maintains validity through Pro-Active Inference---a finite-population extension of active inference (Zrnic & Candès, 2024) that enables direct question selection while preserving asymptotic frequentist coverage. In our experiments, FAQ delivers up to $5\times$ effective sample size gains over strong baselines on two benchmark suites, across varying historical-data missingness levels, with negligible computational overhead: this means that it matches the CI width of uniform sampling while using up to $5\times$ fewer queries. We release our source code and our curated datasets to support reproducibility and future research.

Last-Iterate Convergence for Constrained MDPs: From Dual Descent to Primal-Dual

Michael Lu, Max Qiushi Lin, Mo Chen, Sharan Vaswani

原文摘要

We study policy optimization for infinite-horizon, discounted constrained Markov decision processes. While primal-dual ($\texttt{PD}$) methods are widely used in practice, their theoretical guarantees typically hold for an impractical mixture policy. In contrast, dual descent ($\texttt{DD}$) methods output a single policy ("last iterate") with guarantees on its performance. However, such methods require iteratively solving entropy-regularized MDPs in an inner-loop, limiting their practical effectiveness. Moreover, existing analyses rely on strong coverage assumptions that are difficult to satisfy in practice. Consequently, we first provide a new analysis of $\texttt{DD}$ methods that does not require coverage assumptions. We then employ entropy-regularized natural policy gradient and dual regularization to eliminate the inner loop, resulting in an efficient $\texttt{PD}$ algorithm. We develop a novel tracking analysis which shows that, compared to existing methods, the proposed algorithm achieves improved last-iterate convergence guarantees. Furthermore, our theoretical framework allows us to analyze a truncated bilevel method that interpolates between $\texttt{DD}$ and $\texttt{PD}$ methods. Finally, we generalize our analysis to handle linear function approximation. Compared to prior last-iterate methods, we prove stronger guarantees under less restrictive assumptions.

BRIDGE: Learning Brain-Gut Metabolic Evidence for Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis

Pengli Zhu, Ruxi Chang, Tianliang Yao, Yu Jiang, Shengyuan Liu, Yiyang Lin, Xiaoyi Duan, Shuang Wu 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis may benefit from gut metabolic information associated with brain-gut interactions, yet existing models largely analyze cerebral glucose metabolism alone. Although whole-body fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) can provide paired brain-gut observations, routine brain examinations rarely include gut imaging, limiting direct use of this information for diagnosis. In this paper, we present BRIDGE (Brain and Gut Representation Integration via Distribution-Guided Enhancement), a two-stage framework for transferring brain-gut metabolic knowledge to brain-only diagnosis. Specifically, BRIDGE integrates a conditional brain-to-gut latent transport module and a disease-evidence-guided cerebral pathway to capture subject-specific cross-organ correspondence and disease-relevant cerebral representations. For the cerebral pathway, a large language model (LLM) helps organize literature-derived descriptors into human-approved semantic anchors that guide feature learning. Additionally, we introduce a counterfactual-guided residual fusion mechanism, which uses matched and non-matched virtual-gut evidence to supervise a confidence gate and dynamically regulate the contribution of transported cross-organ information. At inference, BRIDGE exploits complementary gut-related context using brain PET alone, without measured gut PET. Extensive experiments across public and private cohorts demonstrate that BRIDGE outperforms brain-only and cross-organ baselines, achieving AUC gains of 6.0% and 5.2% over its brain-only counterpart for CN/MCI and CN/AD diagnosis, respectively. Notably, its ability to transfer complementary brain-gut metabolic context while preserving brain PET as the sole inference input highlights its potential for clinically practical diagnosis. Our code is available at https://github.com/CUHK-AIM-Group/BRIDGE.

Lost in the Latent Space: How Code Embeddings Represent Functional Intent and Implementation Fidelity

Lu Sun, Yuheng Huang, Lei Ma, Zhijie Wang

原文摘要

Code embedding models have become a key building block for many software engineering applications, yet their internal representations remain poorly understood. Existing evaluations tend to focus on downstream task performance, offering limited insight into whether a single embedding can support both functional abstraction and implementation-sensitive analysis. To address this gap, we present a large-scale empirical study of 14 state-of-the-art code embedding models. We evaluate their representational behavior through three complementary analyses: supervised probing for functional abstraction and implementation fidelity, zero-shot retrieval experiments to assess geometric similarity, and controlled perturbation experiments that measure embedding responses to semantics-preserving code transformations. The results reveal a consistent abstraction-fidelity tension: models that better preserve stylistic and structural signals tend to do so at the expense of semantic generalization, while models with similar retrieval performance can nevertheless respond very differently to the same implementation changes. Overall, our findings suggest that a single universal code representation remains out of reach, motivating more representation-aware evaluation, selection, and deployment of code embedding models in software engineering.

Category-Anchored Large Language Models for Next POI Recommendation

Lexi Bai, Xiaopeng Zeng, Xun Zhou, Yuanshao Zhu, James Jianqiao Yu

原文摘要

Next point-of-interest (POI) recommendation aims to predict a user's next destination from spatio-temporal check-in data, and serves as the foundation for many location-based services. Recent advances incorporate large language models (LLMs) into this task by textualizing user trajectories to exploit their semantic reasoning ability. However, directly generating POI identifiers with such models is unreliable: POIs are sparse, localized, and long-tailed entities with weak natural-language semantics, which creates a semantic-to-entity gap between high-level mobility intent and concrete POI prediction. To bridge this gap, we propose ANCHOR, a category-anchored framework for semantic-to-entity grounding in next POI recommendation. Specifically, ANCHOR first estimates category-level mobility intent in a compact and stable semantic space, rather than predicting concrete POI entities directly. The inferred intent is then grounded into a candidate set by integrating three complementary sources of mobility evidence: category anchors, historical visit memory, and user preferences. Finally, a history-aware reranker selects the target POI by matching each candidate with the user's historical mobility patterns and current context. Experiments on three real-world check-in datasets show that ANCHOR consistently outperforms representative traditional, structure-enhanced, and LLM-based baselines on the reported metrics. Further analyses validate the effectiveness of semantic-to-entity grounding and show favorable trade-offs among candidate coverage, ranking quality, and inference efficiency.

FFAI: Flow Matching with Feedback Training and Adaptive Initialization for CT Reconstruction

Jigang Duan, Heran Wang, Genwei Ma, Xing Zhao

原文摘要

Although low-dose, sparse-view, and limited-angle CT involve distinct degradation mechanisms, all three pose reconstruction challenges due to limited measurement information and can therefore be addressed within a unified framework. In iterative image restoration with flow matching, prediction errors may cause inference states to deviate from the prescribed training path, while a fixed initialization may be unsuitable for inputs with varying degradation severity. We propose a unified conditional flow matching method that conditions on the initial reconstruction and combines feedback-aware training with degradation-adaptive initialization. During training, a teacher network simulates inference updates to generate shifted states, from which a student network learns to recover high-quality reference images, improving its ability to handle prediction errors. During inference, the starting time is selected based on the noise level or extent of missing projection data, and the noise added to the initial state is adjusted accordingly to adapt the starting point to the input. Experiments on public benchmark datasets show that the proposed method achieves better quantitative results than the compared methods across all three reconstruction tasks, effectively suppressing noise and artifacts while preserving anatomical structures and details.

Robust LIDAR Sensor-to-Sensor Domain Generalization via Accumulated-Point Scene Completion

Christoph B Rist, Larissa T Triess, Markus Enzweiler, Dariu M Gavrila

原文摘要

We study domain generalization for LIDAR semantic segmentation. Deep neural networks achieve strong performance on 3D point clouds, yet real-world LIDAR exhibits sensor-specific sampling patterns that hinder transfer across datasets. In many applications, performance on completely unseen sensors is crucial. A model should preferably work on a new setup without prior access to its data or labels. To this end, we introduce a source-only training scheme that adds an occupancy prediction auxiliary objective. We aggregate source-domain scans into a simple world model and use it as the supervision signal, replacing single-scan standard segmentation training. A key property of our approach is that it does not alter the input scan. During training and testing the network consumes the same single-frame LIDAR input, only the supervision signal is enriched via the occupancy objective. At deployment, there is no runtime overhead as the auxiliary head can be dropped for pure segmentation, or kept to obtain scene completion alongside semantic segmentation. In an experimental evaluation across distinct LIDAR datasets, we demonstrate that a model's generalization to new domains can be significantly affected by how it is supervised. In certain setups, performance on unseen domains improves without any explicit domain adaptation (no target scans, no target labels, no sensor priors) and without prediction refinement. At the same time, our method maintains competitive source-domain segmentation performance and incurs no additional inference cost.

Safe Learning for Contact-Rich Robot Tasks: A Survey from Classical Learning-Based Methods to Safe Foundation Models

Heng Zhang, Rui Dai, Gokhan Solak, Pokuang Zhou, Nikos Tsagarakis, Yu She, Arash Ajoudani

原文摘要

Contact-rich tasks pose significant challenges for robotic systems due to inherent uncertainty, complex dynamics, and the high risk of damage during interaction. Recent advances in learning-based control have shown great potential in enabling robots to acquire and generalize complex manipulation skills in such environments, but ensuring safety, both during exploration and execution, remains a critical bottleneck for reliable real-world deployment. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of safe learning-based methods for robot contact-rich tasks. We categorize existing approaches into two main domains: safe exploration and safe execution. We review key techniques, including constrained reinforcement learning, risk-sensitive optimization, uncertainty-aware modeling, control barrier functions, and model predictive safety shields, and highlight how these methods incorporate prior knowledge, task structure, and online adaptation to balance safety and efficiency. A particular emphasis of this survey is on how these safe learning principles extend to and interact with emerging robotic foundation models, especially vision-language models (VLMs) and vision-language-action models (VLAs), which unify perception, language, and control for contact-rich manipulation. We discuss both the new safety opportunities enabled by VLM/VLA-based methods, such as language-level specification of constraints and multimodal grounding of safety signals, and the amplified risks and evaluation challenges they introduce. Finally, we outline current limitations and promising future directions toward deploying reliable, safety-aligned, and foundation-model-enabled robots in complex contact-rich environments.

WNM-3D: A World Navigation Model with 3D Scene Conditioning for Closed-Loop VLN

Yuehao Huang, Yunzi Wu, Xiaotao Zhang, Xinhai Li, Jiankun Dong, Sunyao Zhou, Jiajun Lv, Chi Zhang 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Recent vision-language navigation (VLN) systems increasingly adapt pretrained vision-language models (VLMs) into vision-language-action (VLA) policies that map egocentric observations and language instructions directly to navigation actions. Although semantically capable, such action-centric training does not explicitly model how the agent's visual observations evolve under its predicted motion. Generative world-action models (WAMs) jointly predict future observations and actions, yet existing WAMs for continuous VLN do not condition joint future-view and action generation on geometry-aware representations inferred from the observation history. We present WNM-3D, a generative World Navigation Model with 3D scene conditioning for continuous VLN. A frozen feed-forward geometry encoder extracts cross-view representations from monocular RGB history, and a trainable 3D Scene-to-Token Adapter converts them into a fixed-length scene prefix for the world-action Diffusion Transformer. Through block-causal attention, this prefix remains visible to every future video-action block throughout joint denoising, providing persistent geometric context. We train WNM-3D with supervised world-action learning, DAgger-style adaptation on policy-visited states, and Counterfactual DanceGRPO refinement. Across GN-Bench and VLN-CE, WNM-3D consistently outperforms the backbone-matched WNM-2D counterpart, demonstrating gains from 3D scene conditioning across distinct visual domains. WNM-3D further outperforms strong VLN baselines on GN-Bench and demonstrates closed-loop deployment on a physical robot. Component and stage-wise ablations support the Adapter design and the complementary roles of DAgger-SFT and subsequent reward-guided refinement.

Distilling Large-Scale Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials to Predict Long-Timescale Electrolyte Transport Properties

Ishan Amin, Yue Jian, Nitesh Kumar, Christine Zhang, Jianwei Lai, Casey S. Mezerkor, Aaron M. Melemed, Jonathan R. Thurston 等 13 位作者

原文摘要

Accurately predicting the transport properties of liquid electrolytes is critical for next-generation battery design and requires force fields that are both quantum-mechanically accurate and fast enough for long-timescale simulation. Recent large-scale pretrained machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) approach density-functional-theory accuracy, but remain too slow to access the necessary timescales to converge transport properties. We provide a knowledge distillation procedure to transfer the accuracy of a large-scale "teacher" MLIP into fast, system-specific "students", without any additional ab initio data. Our distilled models run ~40x faster, reproduce teacher-predicted structural observables, and produce stable 20 ns trajectories in days, rather than the months the teacher would require. Across a diverse set of sodium- and lithium-ion electrolytes, student-predicted self-diffusivities, ionic conductivities, and shear viscosities track experiment and outperform classical force-field predictions, establishing distillation as a practical route to accurate, long-timescale simulations necessary for high-throughput electrolyte screening.

DEG: Diffusion-Enhanced GFlowNet for Solving Vehicle Routing Problems

Ni Zhang, Zhiqin Zhang, Ling Pan, Hoong Chuin Lau, Zhiguang Cao

原文摘要

Traditional neural solvers for solving vehicle routing problems (VRPs) often suffer from limited solution diversity, motivating the development of Generative Flow Network (GFlowNet)-based models. However, the effectiveness of these models is frequently constrained by insufficient flow expansion in high-reward regions, limiting their ability to distribute probability across promising solution routes. Deeper exploration could yield superior results. Diffusion models, in contrast, provide stronger structural guidance for exploration. These two paradigms are naturally complementary: GFlowNet can supply edge-level signals for diffusion to embed, while diffusion can guide broader exploration. Leveraging this synergy, we propose Diffusion-Enhanced GFlowNet (DEG), a novel framework that integrates GFlowNet with a diffusion model to encourage richer flow expansion toward high-reward regions and derive higher-quality solutions. Specifically, DEG exploits GFlowNet's inherent diversity to generate edge-specific backward signals, applies the stochastic noise schedule of diffusion to perturb these signals, and then denoises them within the GFlowNet paradigm. To further improve scalability, we introduce a specialized decoder capable of dynamically adapting to diverse problem scales. Extensive experimental evaluations on synthetic and real-world datasets, including instances with up to 10,000 nodes, demonstrate that DEG consistently achieves favorable performance compared to baseline methods.

ETC-Bench: A Multilingual Benchmark for Evaluation-Side Transcript Canonicalization

Zhiheng Qian, Junhao Du, Jing Peng, Hanqi Li, Kunyang Peng, Feng Xue, Shuai Wang, Kai Yu

原文摘要

Written transcripts of the same speech can differ in ways that are not uniquely determined by the speech signal. We formulate evaluation-side transcript canonicalization (ETC), which maps multiple surface forms to a single canonical form when their differences are not determined by speech. To our knowledge, ETC-Bench is the first and most comprehensive multilingual benchmark for evaluation-side transcript canonicalization, covering 181 phenomenon types across 12 languages. Each instance is a minimal pair that shares a sentence context and differs only in a target span exhibiting one phenomenon. To evaluate both canonicalization success and semantic preservation, we propose Semantic-preserving Exact-match Normalization Accuracy (SENA), which combines exact agreement between independently canonicalized pair members with a pair-relative BERTScore constraint against information loss. We further introduce the Taxonomy-guided Agent Canonicalization Skill (TACS), which provides LLM agents with phenomenon descriptions and explicit canonicalization contracts. Experiments with five baseline configurations and three TACS-based agents show that the agents outperform the baseline systems on shared languages. ETC-Bench provides a systematic testbed for evaluation-side transcript canonicalization across languages.

ARCANA: A Benchmark for Abstraction and Analogical Reasoning

Ruqi Chen, Zilei Wang, Wei Wang

原文摘要

Analogical reasoning is widely considered a fundamental component of human intelligence. Few benchmarks are designed to explicitly test far analogical reasoning - reasoning between domains that are superficially dissimilar yet share deep relational or structural similarities. In this work, we introduce an analogical reasoning benchmark called Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus of ANAlogy (ARCANA). The tasks of ARCANA require performing far analogical mappings from real-world objects or physical phenomena to abstract grid-based transformations, different from the well-known ARC-AGI benchmark which primarily emphasized innate human priors. We validate ARCANA through a human study, demonstrating that humans solve these tasks reliably. In contrast, evaluations across a range of large language models show a distinct performance gap compared to humans, revealing systematic failure modes that remain challenging for current models. To address this gap, we propose ConceptSIR, a reasoning framework based on concept slippage, introspection, and reflection. Experiments demonstrate that ConceptSIR enables standard LLMs to solve several challenging ARCANA tasks that were unsolved by direct prompting in our evaluation. Overall, our results suggest that far analogical reasoning remains an open problem for contemporary LLMs. All the materials are available at sites.google.com/view/arcanacogtest. The complete codebase, including benchmark, and ConceptSIR, is publicly available at https://github.com/density-11/arcana-test. All ARCANA data and task instances can be accessed and explored at https://arcanacogtest.org/.

Compile Away Uncertainty: Self-Evolving Agent Skills via Programmatic Compilation

Chengyu Yang, Yunxiang Zheng, Zongzheng Li, Jiamei Li, Boxun Lan, Xiaoyu Liu, Xiaoyu Zhang, Xiaohong Chen 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Self-evolving agent skills enable AI agents to accumulate and refine reusable procedural knowledge from interaction experience without updating model parameters. However, since such skills are typically represented as textual documents and executed through LLM reasoning, even previously learned procedures must be repeatedly interpreted and regenerated, introducing avoidable uncertainty into every execution. In contrast, program execution is deterministic and independently verifiable. Intuitively, transforming well-specified operations into executable programs can reduce reliance on LLM reasoning and, consequently, reduce execution uncertainty. Motivated by this intuition, we introduce SKillCompiler, a self-evolving skill framework that integrates programmatic compilation into the skill evolution process. Specifically, SkillCompiler adopts an executability-aware skill compilation strategy that decomposes skills into fine-grained operations, analyzes their executability, and constructs hybrid skill skeletons that retain LLM reasoning for context-dependent operations while compiling well-specified ones into validated programs. To avoid redundant program synthesis and enable executable knowledge to accumulate across evolving skills, we further design a program asset reuse mechanism that organizes validated programs as reusable assets, retrieves existing implementations whenever applicable, and synthesizes and verifies new programs only when necessary. Extensive experiments on five benchmarks and six model families demonstrate that SkillCompiler consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving up to 32.33\% improvement in task performance.

Interpretable by Design Tabular Prediction via In-Context Local Linear Learning

Ran Eisenberg, Steven Berger, Ofir Lindenbaum

原文摘要

In-context learning (ICL) lets tabular foundation models make predictions without dataset-specific training or fine-tuning. These models achieve strong predictive accuracy, but interpreting how individual features contribute to the prediction remains difficult. In biology, for example, feature contributions can help identify biomarkers or risk genes. Post-hoc interpretability methods assign feature importance scores, but these scores do not indicate what the model actually uses and can lead to explanation errors. We introduce TICL$^3$ (Tabular In-Context Local Linear Learning), an interpretable-by-design predictor that uses a tabular foundation model to guide a simple linear prediction rule. TICL$^3$ first learns a shared linear model to capture dataset-level feature effects. Then, for each query, it retrieves similar training samples using representations from the foundation model and fits a second linear model to the residuals in that neighborhood. The shared model captures broad effects, while the local model corrects errors among similar samples. Their combined coefficients determine each feature contribution to the final query-specific linear score, so the same model makes and explains the prediction. Across 386 classification benchmark-dataset evaluations, TICL$^3$ trails TabICLv2 by 1.1 percentage points and outperforms CatBoost in 266 evaluations. It improves average support F1 over MAPLE by 4.7 points and achieves the best performance on both real-data selected-feature utility metrics.

Agent-Wise Test-Time Normalization for Camera-Based Cooperative Perception with Corrupted Collaborators

Yu Wang, Shaohua Wang, Yicheng Li, Kecheng Sun

原文摘要

Intermediate-fusion cooperative perception lets a vehicle detect objects beyond its own field of view by fusing features shared by nearby agents. When only a collaborator's cameras are degraded by fog, motion blur or exposure errors, the features it shares drift away from the training distribution while the ego input stays clean, and cooperation can become worse than not cooperating at all. Test-time batch-normalization adaptation, the standard training-free remedy, estimates statistics over the pooled batch of all agents and therefore normalizes both the clean ego and the corrupted collaborator with a mixture of two distributions. We show that this mixing harms even the clean ego: when the ego shares BN statistics with a corrupted collaborator, its detection from its own features drops by 3.58 to 6.68 AP@0.5 points although its cameras are untouched. We propose AgentNorm, an agent-wise test-time normalization that i) estimates the normalization statistics of every collaborator from its own current observation and ii) anchors the ego to its source statistics, so that the ego path remains exactly the original model. AgentNorm has no learnable parameters, needs no gradients or labels, is independent of the order of test frames, and runs locally on each agent without changing the transmitted features. On camera-based OPV2V with four fusion checkpoints and collaborator-only corruptions, AgentNorm raises AP@0.5 under severity-5 fog from 29.42-37.25 to 43.32-58.86 and outperforms pooled normalization by 5.53-12.94 points under fog and motion blur, at an extra latency of 2.3 ms per frame. On the real-world DAIR-V2X-C dataset, it outperforms pooled normalization in all ten infrastructure-corruption settings. We also report the cases it does not fix: occlusion, which removes image content rather than shifting feature statistics, and the case in which all agents share the same shift.

Robust performance metrics for imbalanced classification problems

Hajo Holzmann, Bernhard Klar

原文摘要

We show that established performance metrics in binary classification, such as Matthews' correlation coefficient (MCC), Cohen's $κ$, the F-score or the Jaccard similarity coefficient are not robust to class imbalance in the sense that if the proportion of the minority class tends to $0$, the true positive rate (TPR) of the Bayes classifier under these metrics {becomes very small or even tends to $0$}. Thus, in imbalanced classification problems, these metrics favour classifiers which ignore the minority class. To alleviate this issue we introduce robustified modifications of the MCC, of Cohen's $κ$ and of the F-score with an additional tuning parameter which allows to adapt the amount of robustness against class imbalance. As theoretical guarantee we show that the Bayes-optimal classifier for these robustified performance metrics, when expressed in terms of the density ratio $f_1/f_0$ of the class-conditional densities $f_i$, has a threshold parameter which is upper-bounded in terms of the tuning parameters. Therefore, even in strongly imbalanced settings, the TPR associated to this classifier will be bounded away from $0${, provided that $f_1/f_0$ exceeds this bound with positive probability under the positive class}. We numerically illustrate the behaviour of the various performance metrics and the effect of the tuning parameters in simulations as well as on a credit default data set. We also discuss connections to the receiver operating characteristic and precision-recall curves, which provide an alternative perspective on the proposed notion of robustness, and give recommendations on how to combine their usage with performance metrics.

What Breaks When Facts Become Stories? The Distortions Source-Agreement Metrics Miss When Models Retell Real Events

Kwangsuk Park, JiWoong Yang, Vaniushkina Kseniia

原文摘要

Language models are now widely used to turn recorded facts into media for public consumption, yet evaluation of such output still assumes agreement with the source as its measure of success. In reconstruction, where departing from the source can itself be the goal, this criterion measures the wrong construct: applied as is, it counts intended departures as errors; withheld, it lets real distortion through. We had three model families rewrite 2,000 news articles as summaries and as stories, measured what changed on every axis of the five Ws and how, and asked of each detected distortion whether the assigned perspective warranted it, which set a third of them aside. Time and manner were not lost but replaced, while place and causation lost the expressions that carry them. Accountability distortion behaved otherwise. Barely present in summaries, it rose up to sevenfold in stories, and of those whose direction could be determined, two in three lightened the perpetrator's responsibility. Such distortions survive claim-level fact checking and leave the retelling grammatically cleaner than its source. Where our judges disagreed, three authors relabeling the same cases converged on whether a distortion had occurred but not on whether it was warranted, a boundary contested rather than merely hard to detect. To support work on detecting and reducing them, we release ReTold-2k, a reconstructable corpus with the scoring protocol and per-judge baselines kept unaggregated.(https://github.com/Retold2K/retold2k).

Integrated Feature Selection for classification and Representation Learning with Group-Lasso Siamese Networks

Nisargo Ranjan Pal, Pradeep Singh

原文摘要

The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) has been widely employed for feature selection in linear models and has also been extended to multi-layer perceptron (MLP) networks for both feature and group feature selection. Group-Lasso has also been used in feature selection using feed-forward neural networks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to incorporate the Group-Lasso principle into a Siamese network architecture for feature selection. Unlike existing approaches that primarily optimize classification accuracy, the proposed method aims to identify a compact subset of features that simultaneously preserves the intrinsic representation of the input data (the goal of Siamese network) and is expected to achieve high classification performance. Two variants of the proposed framework are developed: one based on the Euclidean distance and the other on a modified Jaccard similarity measure for real-valued vectors. The latter is specifically designed to improve feature selection for high?dimensional sparse data. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated on 12 benchmark datasets with feature dimensions ranging from 6 to 7070 using eight different classifiers. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed Siamese Lasso framework consistently identifies compact and discriminative feature subsets maintaining competitive or superior classification performance, although the loss function used explicitly did not consider any regularizer to learn classification. In addition, the quality of the embeddings produced by these networks is assessed using manifold learning techniques such as UMAP and t-SNE.

Does Scaling Toward AGI Depend on What System-1 Lets System-2 Execute?

Qi Wang, Yun Qu, Lizhou Cai, Heming Zou, Haoang Chi, Yiqin Lv, Xiang Li, Haiyan Feng 等 13 位作者

原文摘要

Progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) has largely relied on scaling a resource-intensive executive, System-2, through larger models, more data and compute, longer reasoning, and more agents. We ask whether the next stage may come instead from co-designing it with System-1, a lightweight, semantically aware predictor that evaluates candidate interactions before execution, so that System-2 acts only on those worth their cost. Our answer is a qualified yes. We study \textit{conditional interaction}, a predict--gate--execute--update loop: System-1 estimates each candidate's utility, System-2 executes those admitted by an adaptive threshold, and the outcomes update System-1. The loop spans training, test-time reasoning, adaptive decision-making, and agentic tool use, with utility and cost defined by the application. Under ideal screening and equal execution costs, execution compute falls by a factor approaching $1/ρ_u$, where $ρ_u$ is the density of utility-relevant interactions (cost-weighted when costs differ); prediction errors, exploration, and distribution shift reduce the saving. We bound selection regret by predictor error and the utility margin. These results motivate our central hypothesis: $ρ_u$ is a measurable coordinate of scaling efficiency and makes informative compute a better description of scaling than total compute.

ASTOR: Multi-Task Code Reinforcement Learning via Utility-Driven Coordination

Yujia Chen, Yang Ye, Xiao Chu, Yuchi Ma, Cuiyun Gao

原文摘要

Reinforcement learning (RL) with verifiable rewards has proven effective at post-training LLMs for coding, yet deploying separate task-specific specialists incurs costs that scale with the number of tasks, motivating a unified multi-task RL (MTRL) approach. However, existing MTRL methods treat all coding tasks uniformly, relying on fixed data curricula under a shared optimization strategy, ultimately limiting the effectiveness of multi-task training. To address these limitations, we propose ASTOR, a multi-tASk code reinforcement learning framework via uTility-driven coORdination. Centered on task utility, a signal capturing each task learning potential and cross-task synergy, ASTOR comprises two coupled modules: 1) Hierarchical Utility-Routed Data Scheduling module hierarchically allocates training budget and prioritizes informative prompts, steering training toward the most valuable data and 2) Adaptive Utility-Calibrated Policy Optimization module dynamically scales per-task KL regularization, matching update constraints to each tasks current training state. Experiments on two widely-used LLMs across four representative coding tasks demonstrate that ASTOR consistently improves a single model across all tasks, outperforming the best task-specific specialist by 9.0%-9.5% and surpassing the strongest MTRL baseline by 7.5%-12.8%.

A generalizable structural brain MRI foundation model via dual-priority federated pretraining

Zhen Yu, Yang Liu, Jianfeng Feng, Xiahai Zhuang, Qingchao Chen

原文摘要

Foundation models hold promise for generalizable analysis of structural brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans across diverse populations and imaging conditions. However, existing models typically rely on centralized pretraining using data pooled across cohorts, which is constrained by privacy and data-governance requirements. Moreover, larger cohorts can dominate optimization, underutilizing anatomical information from smaller cohorts and limiting generalization. Here we present BrainFedFM, a structural brain MRI foundation model federatively pretrained on 164,707 three-dimensional scans drawn from diverse real-world data distributions and organized across 42 federated sites. BrainFedFM uses dual-priority federated pretraining, in which spatial-priority masking emphasizes informative anatomical regions during local training, while site-priority aggregation adaptively weights contributions during global aggregation. Across 20 downstream datasets spanning 17 classification, regression and segmentation tasks, BrainFedFM achieved the state-of-the-art performance across seven foundation models, including four centralized models, while showing consistent advantages in classification and regression tasks and strong robustness under underrepresented populations and challenging imaging conditions. These findings demonstrate the generalizability of BrainFedFM and highlight federated pretraining as a practical strategy for developing neuroimaging foundation models from distributed data without pooling raw images.

CHI-Bench: Can AI Agents Automate End-to-End, Long-Horizon, Policy-Rich Healthcare Workflows?

Haolin Chen, Deon Metelski, Leon Qi, Tao Xia, Joonyul Lee, Steve Brown, Kevin Riley, Frank Wang 等 33 位作者

原文摘要

End-to-end automation of realistic healthcare operations stresses three capabilities underrepresented in current benchmarks: policy density, decisions must be grounded in a large library of medical, insurance, and operational rules; Multi-role composition: a single task requires the agent to play multiple roles with handoffs; and multilateral interaction: intermediate workflow steps are multi-turn dialogs, such as peer-to-peer review and patient outreach. We introduce $χ$-Bench, a benchmark of long-horizon healthcare workflows across three domains: provider prior authorization, payer utilization management, and care management. Each task hands the agent a clinical case in a high-fidelity simulator of 20 healthcare apps exposed via 87 MCP tools, which it must drive to a terminal status through tool calls and writing the role's artifacts, guided by a 1,290+ document managed-care operations handbook skill. Across 30 agent harness/models configurations, the best agent resolves only 28.0% of tasks, no agent clears 20% on strict pass^3, and executing all tasks in a single session slumps the performance to 3.8%. These results raise the hypothesis that similar gaps are likely to surface in other policy-dense, role-composed, irreversible enterprise domains.

Does Federated Training Degrade Explainability? A Comparative Analysis of Grad-CAM Faithfulness in Centralized vs. Federated Deepfake Detection

Muhammad Uzair Shahid, Muhammad Zabil Mehboob

原文摘要

Automated detection has become the essential safeguard against realistic synthetic media, but deploying it at scale requires training on sensitive data from multiple organizations, putting privacy and the transparency demanded by forensic review in direct conflict. Federated learning resolves the privacy side by sharing only model updates rather than raw data, but whether this comes at the cost of trustworthy gradient-based explanations, which analysts rely on to decide whether or not to trust a flagged clip, has not been studied. We present the systematic study of Grad-CAM explanation faithfulness under federated deepfake detection, evaluating an EfficientNet-B4 detector on FaceForensics++ across five federated clients under varying degrees of data heterogeneity. We find that the relationship between federation and explanation quality is non-monotonic: at near-IID (Independent and Identically Distributed Data) and moderate heterogeneity, federated models match or exceed the faithfulness of a centralized baseline, but at extreme heterogeneity, explanations break down entirely, becoming spatially incoherent and, on average, causally misleading. This degradation is not a general cost of federated training but a threshold effect tied to client heterogeneity, and we offer practical guidance for identifying when privacy-preserving deepfake detection can be deployed safely and when its explanations can no longer be trusted. Code and data partitions are available for reproducibility.

CCFormer: Efficient Cross-Field Interaction and Hierarchical Sequence Compression for Industrial Recommendation at Tencent

Yunlong Wang, Huizhe Zhang, Haonan Hu, Yudong Li, Bing Wen, Jianchao Tu, Chengxiang Zhuo, Zang Li

原文摘要

Industrial candidate-ranking systems must combine long user behavior histories with heterogeneous user and item features under strict computational budgets. We propose CCFormer, a structured interaction architecture that separates cross-field retrieval from intra-history modeling. Feature-field-separated cross-attention allows user and target queries to read an evolving history hierarchy, while local subspace token mixing contextualizes history tokens independently of candidate targets. Hierarchical sequence compression reduces the number of history tokens and provides multi-scale historical context for subsequent interactions. Experiments on two public benchmarks show higher mean AUC than the evaluated baselines, while experiments on a large-scale industrial dataset show a favorable accuracy-compute trade-off and higher training throughput than HSTU. Online A/B tests across four recommendation and advertising scenarios report system-level improvements of up to 3.57% in click-through rate, 3.86% in page views, and 1.71% in advertising revenue relative to the corresponding production baselines. CCFormer has been fully deployed in all four scenarios, demonstrating its practical scalability and effectiveness in large-scale recommendation systems.

Regional Anchor Routing for Multi-Object Motion Transfer

Yuze Li, Fuchen Long, Xinlong Sun, Cheng Yan, Xinyu Zhang, Xi Chen

原文摘要

Compositional motion transfer requires a model to extract motions from multiple reference videos, and apply each motion to a user-specified object in one target scene. Existing methods normally struggle to reliably assign different reference motions to the correct target objects, thus a motion intended for one object may affect another. Meanwhile, some motion-specific tuning approaches are still facing another issue: they must run a new optimization whenever the reference video changes, making repeated transfers inefficient. To address these limitations, we propose RART, a framework that unifies object-wise motion extraction, target-region anchoring, and frame-aligned injection into a frozen video Diffusion Transformer for multi-object motion transfer. For each reference motion, RART extracts temporally ordered features from the masked reference video, and then conditions them on the target first-frame mask to form mask-anchored motion tokens. Frame-aligned motion cross-attention allows each generated frame to read only the motion tokens at the corresponding time slots, composing all object motions in one denoising process. During training, a motion-attention routing loss encourages each target region to attend to its corresponding motion tokens and reduces interference between objects. Therefore, RART can handle novel reference-target combinations without per-video optimization. Experiments show that RART achieves accurate motion preservation, efficient inference, and strong compositional generalization.

Topology Survives Shuffling: Robust Long-Context Memory Access Prediction for Graph Analytics

Dongyan Sun, Neelesh Gupta, Rajgopal Kannan, Viktor K. Prasanna

原文摘要

Graph analytics generates irregular, topology-dependent memory-access streams via indirect traversals, limiting data prefetching. Accurate prediction enables timely prefetches that hide memory latency. However, ML predictors couple short histories with fixed horizons, fitting the training trace's node layout rather than learning transferable graph patterns. We propose LoCoMAP, a long-context representation-learning framework for memory-access prediction with independently controlled observation history and prediction horizon. We evaluate Connected Components (CC), PageRank (PR), and Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) on six synthetic graph families, with Erdos-Renyi (ER) and Grid as random and deterministic controls. We test two interventions: same-family regeneration changes connectivity, while node shuffling disrupts layout but preserves connectivity. Across 18 graph-workload pairs, extending history from 8 to 128 accesses improves F1 by 7.8%, while extending prediction horizon from 8 to 512 improves F1 by 88.3%. For CC, regeneration is less disruptive than shuffling: without retraining, long context retains 95.4% of original F1 and outperforms short context in six families. Under full shuffle, long context improves CC F1 by 33.6% across ER, Barabasi-Albert, Copying Model, and Stochastic Block Model (SBM), with a 2.06x gain on SBM, but not on Watts-Strogatz or Grid, where near-zero delta mass shifts into heavy tails beyond the predictor's range. Long context outperforms short context on six real-world CC graphs. At full shuffle, long-context PR retains 57.6% of original F1 and averages 11.0% above short context. Both SSSP models retain about 30% of original F1 under full shuffle as distance updates access vertex data in a new order. Within these bounds, long-context predictors are robust across related graphs and layouts without retraining, enabling a generalizable graph prefetcher.

RoFiGR: Coarse Routing, Fine Refinement via Level-Adaptive Distillation in Multimodal Generative Recommendation

Ji Dai, Zhipeng Wei, Zhuang Zhuang, Rongfeng Guo, Jie Chen, Quan Fang, Fei Pan

原文摘要

Generative recommenders predict an item's semantic identifier (SID) one code at a time. Early codes select broad branches, so a routing error can exclude relevant items before fine-grained prediction begins. In multimodal recommendation, these coarse decisions must reflect collaborative preferences as well as item semantics. We introduce RoFiGR, a two-tree recommender that uses collaborative information in both SID construction and generation. It aligns cumulative L1-L2 code vectors with frozen collaborative item embeddings and explicitly encodes item distance and source level in the serialized history. During generation, a sequential teacher supervises legal branches. Fixed coarse-level weights maintain routing supervision, while a bounded adaptive residual allocates additional weight according to teacher-student demand. On Instruments, Arts, and Games, RoFiGR improves all five ranking metrics over the evaluated external baselines. Five-seed paired tests with Holm correction support the main NDCG@10 improvements. Comparisons with alternative collaborative supervision objectives and tokenizers support the proposed design. Matched task and decoding analyses distinguish the effects of training exposure, stream fusion, and candidate budgets.
