Compact-Bench: Measuring What Context Compaction Costs Long-Horizon Coding Agents

Ruopei Sun, Jianfeng Cai, Kangwen Zhao, Wengang Zhou, Houqiang Li

原文摘要

Context compaction lets long-horizon coding agents continue beyond their context windows, but can erase the state needed to finish a task. Prior evaluations measure efficiency, retained information, or end-to-end success, leaving the effect of a specific history replacement difficult to isolate. Compact-Bench pairs full-history and summary-only continuations from a shared repository state, and evaluates recurring details and successive production compactions. It covers 35 SWE-bench repairs, 146 agentic sessions, and 106 production chains. Across 14 summarizer backbones, stable damage ranges from 5-64% of 22 full-history successes: Claude Opus 4.8 preserves the most repairs, while DeepSeek-Flash damages the most. With Kimi-K3 as summarizer, the Kimi Code prompt preserves the most task continuations (19/22), whereas Claude Code retains the most recurring details (15.0%). LLM summaries retain at most 16.0% of recurring details, compared with 79.1% for mechanical extraction; production summaries retain 15.7% at the first boundary. Failures recur across methods: one repair is damaged by 13/14 backbones, and another by all 5 prompts. These results show that reliable compaction requires preserving the progress needed to complete a task, and that retaining relevant information alone does not ensure successful continuation.

Governance-Aware Federated Learning for Multi-Agent AI Systems: A Policy-Driven Framework for Trustworthy Collaborative AI

Kiranmayee Janardhan, Karthick S, Madhusmita Panda, Bharathi Vokkaliga Ganesh, Syed Ahmed

原文摘要

Federated Learning (FL) enables collaborative model training without exchanging raw data, but conventional FL provides limited runtime governance, evidence verification, fairness assessment, explainability monitoring, and auditability. This paper proposes Governance-Aware Federated Learning (GAFL), which combines independent governance-evidence verification, temporal trust, fairness and explanation assessment, anomaly detection, policy enforcement, normalized aggregation, and tamper-evident audit logging. Client-reported governance values are authenticated, bound to their submitted model updates, and independently recomputed before aggregation. A cross-silo prototype with 10 participants was evaluated on the Adult Income dataset under honest, benign non-IID, biased-data, malicious-update, non-compliant, falsified-evidence, and mixed-threat scenarios. Four methods were compared across five random seeds: FedAvg, FedAvg with anomaly filtering, GAFL without independent verification, and complete GAFL. Complete GAFL intervened on all affected participants at the final round across the evaluated risk scenarios, including identifying 100% of falsified-evidence participants, whereas GAFL without verification identified none of the falsified-evidence participants. Final macro-F1 ranged from 0.7520 to 0.7733 across GAFL scenarios. Complete GAFL required 173.67 plus or minus 26.94 ms of governance processing per round, compared with 3.82 plus or minus 0.79 ms for FedAvg. A strict demographic-parity threshold also caused frequent interventions for honest participants, demonstrating a significant fairness-policy and utility trade-off.

Rethinking Bayesian Optimization for Co-Optimizing LLM Training Configurations

Zhiliang Chen, Alfred Wei Lun Leong, Shao Yong Ong, Apivich Hemachandra, Gregory Kang Ruey Lau, Chuan-Sheng Foo, Zhengyuan Liu, Nancy F. Chen 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Fine-tuning an LLM to maximize performance on a downstream task requires finding the optimal data and model configuration. This is a black-box optimization problem that Bayesian optimization (BO) addresses by sequentially evaluating training configurations and using observed performance feedback to adaptively guide the search towards better configurations. However, directly applying BO to the joint data-model space suffers from two fundamental challenges: the prohibitive cost of full LLM training at each iteration, and the large number of BO iterations required for effective exploration due to the high problem dimensionality. This paper introduces JoBS, a BO-based approach that co-optimizes data and model configurations without requiring a full training run at every iteration. JoBS allocates an initial portion of the optimization budget to learn a scaling-law-inspired performance predictor that estimates fully trained LLM performance from only a small number of training steps. The remaining budget is then used to run BO with this predictor, eliminating the need for full training runs and enabling JoBS to explore significantly more data and model configurations within the same budget. We analyze JoBS's average regret and derive the optimal budget allocation between predictor learning and BO iterations. Empirically, JoBS outperforms independent data and model optimization methods and existing multi-fidelity BO baselines across a diverse set of downstream tasks. Our code is available at https://github.com/chenzhiliang94/BO-for-LLMs.

Holistic Diversity Management in LLM-Guided Evolutionary Search

Seockbean Song, Youngsik Yoon, Sungjae Lee, Siwei Wang, Wei Chen, Jungseul Ok

原文摘要

LLM-guided evolutionary search iteratively selects existing programs, uses LLMs as mutation operators to generate a new program, and evaluates it to guide subsequent search. To preserve diversity and reduce the risk of premature convergence, it often adopts the island model, in which groups of programs, called islands, evolve separately. However, this structure alone does not guarantee distinct search directions, as islands may start from similar programs or converge toward similar solutions during evolution. This suggests that diversity must be considered throughout the search process, from initializing islands with distinct programs to developing island trajectories and sharing discoveries across islands. To this end, we propose HoliDivEvolve , a holistic approach to establishing and effectively utilizing island diversity throughout evolutionary search. Specifically, we introduce diverse initialization to establish different initial programs, trajectory adaptive island selection to allocate computation based on current score, recent growth, and the remaining search budget, and growth adaptive migration to share alternative ideas across islands. Experiments across diverse benchmarks show that HoliDivEvolve achieves competitive performance on most evaluated tasks. We further conduct controlled analyses to examine how our design choices affect search behavior and final performance.

SpaceAct: Benchmarking 3D Spatial and Temporal Reasoning via Closed-Loop Action and Active Perception

Chenglong Shi, Zekai Yuan, Yue Song, Jon Pu, Will Wu

原文摘要

To solve problems in 3D space rather than merely describe images, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) need 3D spatiotemporal reasoning: reconstructing 3D geometry from occluded 2D views, anticipating physical dynamics, and executing precise, closed-loop actions. Prior studies test passive VQA on static images or symbolic planning, requiring no execution or supplying privileged coordinates while ignoring collision, statics, and timing. We introduce SpaceAct, an interactive benchmark evaluating 3D spatiotemporal reasoning via closed-loop physical action and active perception, with SAPA, a Spatiotemporal Active-Probing Agent framework. Built on interlocking bricks and mechanical puzzles, it has 108 verified instances across 36 task families in six categories, without privileged coordinates, and diagnostic modes (+plan, +state, no-camera, blind, L7 levers). In brick-bridging or aperture-threading, models rotate the camera to resolve occlusion, read in-scene rulers, output 6-DoF poses under swept-collision and statics checks, and self-correct via split-screen rollback feedback (dynamic tasks freeze time during deliberation and give five strobe frames). Across 10 frontier MLLMs on the 44 hardest instances, scores span 4.8-79.1 (seven solve at most 27.3% of 6-DoF tasks); for the top three, a reference plan (+plan) closes 44% of the gap while leaving collisions at 5.2 per episode, whereas adding exact 3D state (+state) closes 90% and cuts collisions to 0.5; for four others, +plan lifts the mean score from 10.9 to 35.3 and +state to 81.8; and 46% of failures are collision or observation loops. SpaceAct and SAPA advance evaluation to closed-loop physical interaction, showing that even with a valid plan, MLLMs remain bottlenecked by 3D visual grounding and action refinement, while offering a testbed for active multi-view exploration and explicit 3D grounding.

CoWalk: Cooperative Walks for Agentic Batch Queries on Disk-Resident Graphs

Qiao Liang, Zhiguang Chen, Yue Yu, Nong Xiao

原文摘要

Workloads such as query rewriting, deep research and group-relative policy optimization (GRPO) issue batches of semantically related vector queries. Existing disk-resident approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) systems process these queries independently. On three workloads, 31 to 67 percent of the I/Os of a batch fetch a page that another query of the batch has already fetched. A page cache shared by the batch removes these I/Os, yet it makes a single-thread search only $1.1$ to $1.2{\times}$ faster, because the search time goes to distance computation and the cache does not change the walk of any query. We present CoWalk, which runs the queries of a batch as cooperating walks on one thread. Every query keeps its own candidate list, a page is read once per batch, and the full-precision vector on every fetched page is ranked by every query of the batch. A query therefore reaches the target recall with a shorter candidate list, which computes fewer distances and issues fewer I/Os. At recall@10 of 0.95, CoWalk answers a batch on one thread $1.6$ to $1.9{\times}$ faster than the fastest per-query baseline and issues $2.8$ to $6.9{\times}$ fewer I/Os. On a server it serves $3.0$ to $6.9{\times}$ the throughput of that baseline at a similar batch latency.

When "No Worries" Went Wrong: HRI Lessons for Foundation-Model Robots

Eliahu Khalastchi

原文摘要

When a person declined our robot's invitation to play, Alice turned her shoulder away and said "No worries, it's all good." Only after a brief pause did she drive off. The words and gestures were plausible but their order changed the message. In another episode, Alice informed a host that his visitor had arrived---while the visitor stood right beside him. Both came from a three-year ROS 2 HRI consortium that integrated large language and vision models as they emerged. Today's foundation models give robots broader capabilities to perceive their surroundings, reason about situations and generate behavior. Yet capability alone does not ensure that a changed situation shapes the action that reaches a person. Evidence may never be acquired, or a purpose or constraint may fail to survive planning and execution. A system may even report Success when an action no longer serves its intended purpose. Drawing on the consortium's engineering experience, we develop five design lessons about attention, knowledge, commitments, embodied timing and action authority. We then introduce TRACE, a lightweight review that changes one interaction premise, follows it to a decision or enforcement boundary, and produces an actionable architecture finding. A bounded analysis of a published LLM-generated behavior-tree system illustrates how an available clarification mechanism can go unused. The engineering lesson is to preserve accountability boundaries, not the computational pipelines that once exposed them.

Real-Time Localisation of Dorsal Anatomical Regions on Dairy Cows in Commercial Rotary Parlours from RGB-D

Vineet Prasad, Shiron Melvin, Sheikh Azid, Hai Wang

原文摘要

Automated monitoring of dairy cows increasingly measures one part of the body, such as the rump for temperature or the back for posture, yet the region itself is usually placed by hand. Existing systems either score the cow as a whole or detect sparse keypoints, often in controlled walkways, and neither yields the named region masks that such measurements need on a crowded commercial rotary platform. We present a perception front end that finds the target cow, ten bony landmarks and four named dorsal regions (withers, back, rump and tail-head) in one forward pass over a whole RGB-D frame. Colour and depth encoders are fused late and share one decoder with three heads. On an anatomical region dataset built on public rotary-parlour RGB-D images (538 annotated frames, cow-disjoint test set), the network (ConvNeXt-T backbone) reaches PCK@10 0.905 for landmarks and region IoU 0.70 to 0.91, and runs end to end in 26.4 ms per frame on a T4 GPU, against an 11 fps camera. Removing the region head costs 0.15 PCK@10 (ResNet-18), but a control shows that it mainly adds training signal: wider landmark heatmap targets recover the gain without it. Agreement between the two heads flags unreliable frames without labels. On our own rig at Western Australia's largest dairy farm, the ConvNeXt-T model transfers with ten labelled frames (PCK@10 0.85), and its regions are carried through depth into a radiometric thermal camera, giving one temperature per region and cow that is stable within a pass.

Agent Transfer Protocol: Server-Mediated Agent-to-Agent Communication Architecture for the Agentic Web

Yuqi Qiu, Zuyao Xu, Lu Sun, Xiang Li, Fasheng Miao, Fubin Wu, Haixin Duan, Zheli Liu

原文摘要

The Agentic Web needs to support continuous collaboration among agents from different organizations. These collaborative relationships may span multiple tasks, network connections and execution instances. Such interactions require stable communication entries, message reception when instances are offline, and source verification after delayed reading. How to organize these responsibilities so that cross domain communication does not depend on specific execution instances being continuously online is a key issue for building long term agent interaction infrastructure. We propose ATP (Agent Transfer Protocol), a cross organization agent communication protocol adopting a domain mediated architecture. In this architecture, administrative domains maintain stable addresses and receiving entries for logical agents. The domain servers of both parties continuously undertake cross domain transmission. The receiving domain verifies and saves messages for execution instances to read later. The sending domain signs the complete message envelope. This allows the receiving instance to independently reverify the domain source and content integrity after the original connection ends, provided the original verification public key is still trusted and obtainable. We implemented an ATP prototype and evaluated it through a controlled cross organization LLM agent workflow, mechanism checks and latency measurements. The workflow completed subsequent business processing after instances went offline or were replaced. The independent verifier successfully verified the domain source and content integrity of saved messages. Latency measurements further quantified the communication and processing overhead introduced by the continuous mediation of domain servers.

MiCoPro: End-to-End Mixed Precision HW/SW Co-design with HW-aware Proxy Model

Zijun Jiang, Yangdi Lyu

原文摘要

Quantized Neural Networks~(QNN) with low-bitwidth data have proven promising in efficient storage and computation on edge devices. To mitigate accuracy degradation while maximizing speedup, layer-wise mixed-precision quantization~(MPQ) becomes a popular solution. However, existing algorithms for exploring MPQ schemes are limited in flexibility and efficiency. Comprehending the complex impacts of different MPQ schemes on post-training quantization and quantization-aware training results is a challenge for conventional methods. Furthermore, an end-to-end framework for the optimization and deployment of MPQ models is missing in existing work. To address these challenges, we propose the MiCo framework, a holistic MPQ exploration and deployment framework for edge AI applications. The framework adopts a novel optimization algorithm to search for accuracy-optimal quantization configurations under strict latency constraints. We further extended the framework to MiCoPro, which introduces a robust Hardware-Aware Proxy (HAP) model to enhance prediction accuracy and hardware versatility. By leveraging target-specific latency modeling, MiCoPro enables rapid exploration and direct deployment from PyTorch models to bare-metal C code. We demonstrate the versatility of our framework on both the BitFusion accelerator and SIMD-extended RISC-V processors, achieving up to 40\% of latency reduction with less than 3\% of accuracy drop.

An Incremental Knowledge-Graph Learner Digital Twin for Evidence-Grounded Early Warning

Ngoc Luyen Le, Marie-Hélène Abel, Bertrand Laforge

原文摘要

Early-warning models in learning analytics can identify learners at risk of failure or withdrawal, but the resulting alerts are often only weakly connected to inspectable learning evidence. A risk score may indicate that intervention is needed without showing which traces, assessment events, or temporal patterns justify the alert. This paper introduces an incremental Learner Digital Twin for evidence-grounded early warning, implemented as a lightweight knowledge graph. The twin is updated at temporal checkpoints by replaying learning traces and assessment records, and it serves both as a feature-extraction substrate and as an explanation-grounding substrate. Predictive features are derived through graph-mediated queries, while features, attributions, alerts, evidence items, and raw records are represented as queryable graph entities. The framework is instantiated and evaluated on a public learning-analytics benchmark under a temporal protocol. The results show that graph-mediated feature extraction preserves the predictive behavior of equivalent raw-table features across model families and checkpoints. Generated alerts are materialized as evidence chains linking risk decisions to feature attributions, evidence items, and raw platform records. The study shows that early-warning prediction can be routed through a semantic and provenance-aware representation while preserving predictive performance and adding traceability, verifiability, and evidence-grounded explanation.

A Scalable Multi-Task Model for Virtual Sensors

Leon Götz, Lars Frederik Peiss, Erik Sauer, Andreas Udo Sass, Thorsten Bagdonat, Stephan Günnemann, Leo Schwinn

原文摘要

Virtual sensors replace expensive physical sensors in critical applications through machine learning by predicting target signals from available measurements. Existing virtual sensor approaches require application-specific models with hand-selected inputs for each sensor, cannot leverage task synergies, and lack consistent benchmarks. While emerging time series foundation models offer general-purpose, pretrained solutions in other domains, they are computationally expensive and limited to predicting their input signals, making them incompatible with virtual sensors. We introduce the first multi-task model for virtual sensors addressing both limitations. Our unified model can simultaneously predict diverse virtual sensors exploiting synergies while maintaining computational efficiency. It learns relevant input signals for each virtual sensor, eliminating expert knowledge requirements while adding explainability. In our large-scale evaluation on three standard benchmarks and an application-specific dataset with over 18 billion samples, our architecture reduces computation time by up to 415x and memory requirements by 951x, while maintaining or even improving predictive quality compared to unified baselines. Compared to existing isolated models for a single virtual sensor, our unified approach generates superior predictions at similar inference speed while scaling gracefully to hundreds of virtual sensors with nearly constant parameter count, enabling practical deployment in large-scale sensor networks.

Joint Latent Reasoning and Observation for Agentic Video Understanding

Junzhang Liu, Hao Yuan, Yiming Wu, Qi Zhang, Long Chen, Zhecan Wang

原文摘要

Effective video agents must learn not only how to answer, but also where to look next. Transferring this capability to smaller models is challenging because each observation serves two purposes: supporting an answer and guiding the search for further evidence. Textual descriptions may capture what is currently visible while omitting cues needed for subsequent acquisition. We introduce Latent Agentic Reasoning for Video Analysis (LARVA), a framework that distills multi-round video agents through jointly learned latent reasoning and visual observations. Rather than communicating through captions, an observer passes compact continuous representations to a reasoner that selects the next acquisition action or produces the final answer. Crucially, action and answer supervision propagate through this interface, training the observer to communicate information useful for downstream decisions. Observation reconstruction and reasoning-distribution alignment provide auxiliary supervision from textual teacher trajectories. Across five video-understanding benchmarks, LARVA achieves strong performance with 4B and 7B backbones. On VideoHolmes, Video-MME, and LVBench, the 7B model outperforms a textual CoT student trained on the same teacher trajectories by 5.1, 2.5, and 3.7 percentage points, respectively. These results highlight the value of jointly learning how agents represent evidence and act on it when distilling video-understanding capabilities.

Masked Erosion: How Acceptance Gates Lose Redundant Safeguards in Self-Improving Agents

Hau-Sing So, Daixian Liu, Weicai Long

原文摘要

Self-improving LLM agents edit their own harness, the prompts and rules around a fixed model, and keep an edit only if an acceptance gate scores it higher on a batch of tasks. Such a gate sees what the harness does under the current model, not what it would still prevent if one safeguard failed. When safeguards overlap, deleting one is masked: the others still block the harm, so the gate decides on task success alone and redundancy erodes unseen. We measure harm for every subset of four written safeguards in two agent environments and run 411 improvement loops under ten gate rules, mostly as controlled deletion experiments, plus three runs of the GEPA optimizer. A deletion behind another working safeguard adds almost no observable harm. A paired significance test blocks deletions that pass by chance but not deletions that genuinely raise task success, and a larger evaluation batch lets it delete cheaper safeguards: at the same cost, 20-task batches kept every harness protected while 40-task batches lost all six. Large harm audits prevent exposure but not the loss of depth, which turns into harm when the harness is reused with a weaker model. GEPA kept every safety rule verbatim, yet two of its three final harnesses misused credentials under a weaker model. A statistical model frozen before the runs predicts where each gate's protection breaks as safeguard cost and batch size change, and freezing safety text or auditing one-layer ablations preserves depth.

SCOPE: Selective Critical-Step On-Policy Self-Distillation for Agentic Reinforcement Learning

Qirui Liu, Wei Cao, Yu Mi, Yichen Sun, Xuekun Zhang, Lei Liu, Yue Shen, Zhixuan Chu

原文摘要

Outcome-based reinforcement learning provides coarse supervision for long-horizon LLM agents: failed trajectories may contain correct steps, while successful trajectories can contain errors. Trajectory-level skills can also shift teacher preferences at unrelated steps, introducing off-target distillation signals. We introduce SCOPE, a framework for Selective Critical-Step On-Policy Self-Distillation. After a supervised warm-up, the policy analyzes its own trajectories, generates step-specific hindsight skills, and distills their guidance only at selected error steps. A bounded signed teacher-student coefficient stabilizes auxiliary updates while preserving positive reinforcement and negative correction. A success-relative pairwise length reward further encourages efficient task completion. Experiments on ALFWorld and WebShop demonstrate consistent improvements across multiple model backbones. With Qwen2.5-3B, SCOPE achieves 97.7% success on ALFWorld and 85.2% on WebShop, outperforming SEED by 5.9 and 6.3 percentage points, respectively. On unseen ALFWorld tasks, SCOPE reaches 89.6% success, improving over GRPO by 23.2 percentage points with 46.7% fewer interactions. Scaling to Qwen3-32B, SCOPE achieves 99.2% success on seen ALFWorld tasks and 94.0% on unseen tasks.

Visually Irrelevant Hallucinations in Medical Vision-Language Models

Ke Zou, Nan Zhou, Tao Yang, Meng Liu, Linchao He, Zehui Liao, Ling Huang, Guangren Huang 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

Medical vision-language models (VLMs) show strong performance in radiology report generation (RRG) and medical visual question answering (Med-VQA), producing free-form clinical descriptions and answers from medical images. However, they may generate clinically meaningful statements that lack visual evidence or contradict image content. We refer to these errors as visually irrelevant hallucinations and investigate them at the phrase level. We propose CLEAR (Counterfactual Localized Evaluation of Alignment and Response), a model-agnostic post-hoc framework for phrase-level hallucination risk estimation. CLEAR decomposes generated responses into visually assessable clinical phrases. For each phrase, phrase-conditioned grounding identifies a candidate visual region, which is selectively perturbed by a localized counterfactual intervention. CLEAR characterizes the intervention using two complementary auditing cues: response cues, capturing semantic and clinically meaningful changes in the generated response, and alignment cues, measuring changes in image-phrase compatibility. These cues are normalized and jointly modeled to estimate phrase-level hallucination risk. Across four datasets spanning RRG and Med-VQA, CLEAR outperforms state-of-the-art hallucination detection baselines across multiple medical and general-purpose VLMs. On MIMIC-CXR, CLEAR improves AUPRC from 85.10% to 90.23%. Its effectiveness is further validated on a GT-derived controlled VIH benchmark. These results establish visually irrelevant hallucination as an important fine-grained reliability failure mode in medical VLMs and demonstrate the value of model-agnostic visual-support auditing for more trustworthy multimodal clinical generation.

DC-ViT: Modulating Spatial and Channel Interactions for Multi-Channel Images

Umar Marikkar, Syed Sameed Husain, Muhammad Awais, Sara Atito

原文摘要

Training and evaluation in multi-channel imaging (MCI) remains challenging due to heterogeneous channel configurations arising from varying staining protocols, sensor types, and acquisition settings. This heterogeneity limits the applicability of fixed-channel encoders commonly used in general computer vision. Recent Multi-Channel Vision Transformers (MC-ViTs) address this by enabling flexible channel inputs, typically by jointly encoding patch tokens from all channels within a unified attention space. However, unrestricted token interactions across channels can lead to feature dilution, reducing the ability to preserve channel-specific semantics that are critical in MCI data. To address this, we propose Decoupled Vision Transformer (DC-ViT), which explicitly regulates information sharing using Decoupled Self-Attention (DSA), which decomposes token updates into two complementary pathways: spatial updates that model intra-channel structure, and channel-wise updates that adaptively integrate cross-channel information. This decoupling mitigates informational collapse while allowing selective inter-channel interaction. To further exploit these enhanced channel-specific representations, we introduce Decoupled Aggregation (DAG), which allows the model to learn task-specific channel importances. Extensive experiments across three MCI benchmarks demonstrate consistent improvements over existing MC-ViT approaches. Code is available at https://github.com/umarikkar/DCViT.

Representation and Reference Selection in Training-Free Synthetic Image Attribution

Meiling Li, Pietro Bongini, Benedetta Tondi, Mauro Barni

原文摘要

Synthetic image attribution aims at identifying the generator responsible for a given AI-generated image. Training-free reference-based attribution methods are easily scalable, since newly emerging generators can be incorporated by adding source-specific references rather than retraining a task-specific classifier. Their performance depends on two coupled factors: the representation space used for comparison and the way source-specific references are constructed. However, the interaction between these two factors remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we provide a controlled analysis of this interaction using references and off-the-shelf pretrained representations. We study representations extracted from different layers of CLIP and DINOv2, along with three reference selection strategies with varying semantic constraints: arbitrary, semantically aligned, and resynthesis-based references. Our results show that attribution accuracy generally peaks at intermediate representation levels, indicating that source-discriminative cues are more accessible before strong semantic abstraction dominates. We further show that intermediate representations are not completely semantically neutral, making reference selection critical: semantically constrained references reduce query-reference mismatch and improve attribution, especially under limited reference budgets. Resynthesis is useful in low-reference regimes, while semantically aligned references provide a better accuracy-cost trade-off when a moderate-sized reference pool is available. Our findings show that training-free reference-based attribution should be understood as the interaction between where images are compared, how the reference set is constructed, and how many references are available. Code and datasets are available at https://github.com/meiling-fdu/RefPrint.

SelfGRL: Self-Organized Graph Representation Learning Inspired by Helmholtz Free Energy Minimization

Rui Chen, Junjun Guo, Hongbin Wang, Yan Xiang, Yantuan Xian, Zhengtao Yu

原文摘要

Graph Representation Learning (GRL) requires node embeddings to preserve local structural coherence while remaining globally discriminative. Existing graph self-supervised methods generally coordinate these competing objectives through method-specific designs, lacking a unified and adaptive mechanism that responds to the evolving representation state. To address this limitation, we propose SelfGRL, a self-organized graph representation learning framework that reformulates representation learning as Helmholtz free-energy minimization on the unit hypersphere. SelfGRL models local neighborhood attraction as a Structural Binding Energy through neighbor-mean alignment, while introducing a Sampling-Free Repulsive Entropy objective to preserve global dispersion and prevent representation collapse without pairwise negative sampling. To dynamically coordinate these competing effects, we develop an endogenous Bayesian Thermostat that adaptively regulates their relative strengths in response to the evolving representation state, allowing the system to approach a metastable semantic equilibrium without requiring manually tuned loss weights. Extensive experiments on node classification across both homophilic and heterophilic benchmark datasets, together with link prediction evaluations, demonstrate that SelfGRL consistently achieves strong performance across diverse graph structures.

ELEVATE: Agentic Controller Acquisition from Task Failure for Quadrupedal Manipulation

Shiqi Liu, Radu Corcodel, Ding Zhao

原文摘要

Quadrupedal manipulators can extend their workspace through whole-body interaction, but task-planning agents' capabilities remain limited by their available controllers. We present ELEVATE, a framework that uses persistent failures during task-program refinement to identify and acquire missing whole-body control capabilities. When these failures suggest a missing physical capability, a coding agent formulates and iteratively refines a reinforcement-learning problem, specifying behavior-specific rewards, curricula, and termination conditions. Validated controllers are added to the capability library and composed with existing controllers to retry the task. Starting from a single pretrained loco-manipulation controller, ELEVATE autonomously acquires controllers for wall-supported elevation, supported manipulation, and wall descent across a sequence of seven simulation tasks. These controllers are reused in subsequent reaching and object-manipulation tasks. On the five tasks beyond the initial controller's workspace, ELEVATE achieves mean success rates of 98.4%-100% across five independent runs, while coding-agent baselines with a fixed controller library fail to complete these tasks. The synthesized task programs, together with the acquired controllers, also transfer to a physical quadrupedal manipulator without real-robot training or fine-tuning, achieving 18/20 successes in rack retrieval and 16/20 in floor-to-rack placement.

Clapping: Removing Per-sample Storage for Pipeline Parallel Distributed Optimization with Communication Compression

Boao Kong, Xu Huang, Yuqi Xu, Yixuan Liang, Bin Wang, Kun Yuan

原文摘要

Pipeline-parallel distributed optimization is essential for large-scale machine learning but is challenged by significant communication overhead from transmitting high-dimensional activations and gradients between workers. Existing approaches often depend on impractical unbiased gradient assumptions or incur sample-size memory overhead. This paper introduces Clapping, a Communication compression algorithm with LAzy samPling for Pipeline-parallel learnING. Clapping adopts a lazy sampling strategy that reuses data samples across steps, breaking sample-wise memory barrier and supporting convergence in few-epoch or online regimes. Clapping comprises two variants including Clapping-FC and Clapping-FU, both of which achieve convergence without unbiased assumption for compressed gradient, effectively addressing compression error propagation in multi-worker settings. Numerical experiments validate the performance of Clapping across different tasks.

Past, Future, All at Once: Mitigating Stability-Plasticity Dilemma via Post-hoc JANUS Rectification

Zhilong Zheng, Letian Tao, Yujie Yang, Wei Xiong, Kehua Sheng, Bo Zhang, Jingliang Duan, Keqiang Li 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Fine-tuning foundation models on new tasks inevitably suffer from catastrophic forgetting. While existing works attempt to mitigate this on the basis of parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods, they adopted an overly restrictive Subspace Orthogonality condition. In this paper, we introduce a purely post-hoc and tuning-agnostic weight rectification framework that achieves Parameter Space Orthogonality, which is the necessary and sufficient condition for preserving historical performance to the first order. By projecting parameter updates into the JAcobian NUll Space (JANUS), our method significantly recovers compromised historical knowledge without interfering with the underlying fine-tuning process. To overcome the local validity of the Jacobian approximation, we further propose a Multi-step Adaptive Rectification mechanism that utilizes the JANUS shift to dynamically verify the valid trust region and adjust step sizes. Coupled with our proposed ghost projection, ghost orientation comparison, and sequence-level singular value decomposition compression techniques, JANUS also achieves great temporal and spatial efficiency. Experiments demonstrate that JANUS seamlessly integrates with various fine-tuning methods, significantly mitigating the stability-plasticity dilemma by recovering historical knowledge while preserving downstream task adaptation.

HyperThink: Text-to-Parameter Hypernetworks for Efficient Reasoning

Donggyun Kim, Jack Lu, Chanwoo Kim, Mengye Ren, Seunghoon Hong

原文摘要

Long-form thinking traces can substantially improve the multi-step reasoning performance of large language models (LLMs), but they introduce high inference-time overhead, with latency dominated by sequential decoding. We propose HyperThink, a text-to-parameter approach that amortizes this reasoning computation into a single query-conditioned parameter update: a lightweight hypernetwork reads the question and predicts updates to a small subset of the base LLM's parameters, while a vector-quantized decoder constrains them to a finite set of reusable patterns to improve robustness and transfer. Trained end-to-end on outputs from the base model itself, HyperThink eliminates long thinking traces at test time: after one hypernetwork forward pass, the adapted model generates a concise step-by-step solution and final answer without an intermediate trace, using far fewer tokens while retaining strong reasoning performance. Empirically, HyperThink improves the low-latency region of the accuracy-latency trade-off on mathematical and general reasoning tasks, with its strongest gains in the near-non-thinking regime.

Pronunciation-Supervised Text-to-Speech for Irish (Gaeilge)

William Lane

原文摘要

Speech technology for Irish must be built from very little transcribed speech, yet the language's pronunciation is thoroughly documented in dictionaries and dialect descriptions. We ask whether that documentation can supervise the adaptation of a large pretrained text-to-speech model to a language it was never trained on. We adapt Qwen3-TTS to Irish using 12.8 hours of crowdsourced Common Voice speech, correcting two defects in the vendor fine-tuning script that training loss does not reveal (Appendix A), and reach character error rate (CER) 0.225 on held-out cross-corpus text, against 0.397 for an exhaustively tuned from-scratch system and 0.437 for zero-shot cloning. We then compile the Wiktionary pronunciation record into a lexicon and a phoneme critic, and use that critic as the verifier in one round of rejection fine-tuning: CER 0.159 cross-corpus and 0.067 in-domain, with the voice still anonymous across all 202 training speakers. The same critic explains why the voice cannot yet be steered to a minority dialect: 229 of 12,311 training clips lean Ulster against 8,451 Munster. Pronunciation documentation, converted into a verifier, is a practical lever for low-resource speech synthesis, and a way to measure what the available data cannot support.

Uncovering Why LLMs Fail: From Internal Mechanisms to Adversarial Reasoning Trajectories

Zirui Ding, Xinxin Fan, Hao Yuan, Shaoye Luo, Men Niu, Quanliang Jing, Yunfeng Lu

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) are usually evaluated by final-output correctness or safety, yet an endpoint label does not reveal how a failure develops throughout the reasoning process. We therefore ask whether ordinary reasoning failures and adversarially induced failures can be characterized using the same internal coordinates. Towards this end, we in this paper study a white-box diagnostic framework CauTrace to disclose the root-cause of why LLM fails from three fundamental inspections: Functional States, Propagation of Representation, Temporal-State Coordination and Reasoning Trajectory. First, seven functional states are creatively defined to represent the support and constraint processing in LLMs. Second, the propagation of representation change measures how the changes among the seven states persist across subsequent Transformer blocks. Third, temporal-state coordination and trajectory topology characterize when the commitment and verification occur relative to the support, and how the dominant state sequence evolves over the full inference process. Finally, we evaluate CauTrace on both clean reasoning failures and paired adversarial perturbations. Across Qwen and LLaMA-family models, the failed traces show weaker Attention-MLP agreement on support-state updates and less verification activity relative to commitment, while the exact representation-level signatures and timing shifts vary by architecture. Held-out repair and steering tests demonstrate consistent operational signals that were in line with our claims for certain models and specific settings, with aligned steering producing the predicted directional changes in process measures. Overall, CauTrace provides a unified diagnostic framework for analyzing failure dynamics through changes in support, commitment, and verification, which would shed light on the in-depth research on LLM security.

How Much Do Teacher Bridges Matter in Interleaved On-Policy Distillation?

Leran Chen, Zhiyuan Yao, Lingnan Kong

原文摘要

On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student using teacher predictions on student-generated responses. Some methods insert teacher-written segments, or bridges, but disagree on how to train on those tokens. We compare no loss, forward KL and reverse KL on identical trajectories using Qwen3-1.7B as student and Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 as teacher. We separate gradients by which model wrote each token. Under our short training runs and BF16 inference, pre-specified tests detected no added accuracy benefit from teacher text as context or as a training target. A one-paragraph bridge after the student's first paragraph is only 2.7% of the tokens and contributes a small gradient nearly orthogonal to the student-token gradient. In this main comparison, the three loss treatments gave similar gradient directions and were statistically equivalent in accuracy within a +/-5 percentage-point margin. An exploratory pilot placing the bridge where failed responses disagreed most with the teacher suggested a benefit from teacher-token loss. A pre-specified replication did not confirm this, and fourfold weighting showed no significant accuracy benefit. Two limitations bound these findings. Among the tested amounts of training on fixed responses, gains peaked after four updates before the student increasingly failed to stop generating. None of the tested online training variants met the criteria for stable stopping and improved accuracy. Our evaluations used BF16 inference, which rounds away most of the small weight changes. When evaluated in exact FP32, the tested replication models frequently reached the response-length limit. Our accuracy findings therefore concern BF16 inference; they do not establish that teacher-token supervision is generally unnecessary.

Compute Has Shape: Self-Morphing the Internal Computation of Frozen LLMs

Junxi Wu, Yiwen Guo, Shu-Tao Xia

原文摘要

Test-time scaling improves large language models through additional computation, but how to adapt the topology of internal computation to individual inputs remains underexplored. Existing approaches largely fix recurrent or parallel architectures during training, or reconfigure frozen models along a single structural axis. We introduce SelfMorph, which makes computational shape an input-dependent inference-time decision. It unifies the original forward path (BASE), serial reuse of a layer span (REPEAT), and local branching and merging of perturbed hidden states (BRANCH) in a unified space parameterized by type, location, and intensity. Since they offer complementary benefits rather than uniform dominance, we use a lightweight selector that reads the backbone's depth-wise hidden state trajectory on the prompt to choose a morphology before response generation. We train the selector by distilling utility-based distribution from offline morphing that jointly account for task performance and computational cost. Evaluated on three LLMs spanning 4B-27B, SelfMorph achieves a 8.06% mean relative improvement on five in-distribution benchmarks and 4.45% on four unseen benchmarks. It achieves the strongest performance in 24 of 27 settings. These findings identify input-adaptive computational topology as a complementary axis of test-time scaling beyond generating more tokens. Our code is available at https://github.com/creator-xi/SelfMorph.

Towards Reliable, Scalable, and Value-Aligned Generative Recommendation for Large-Scale Advertising

Yatong Xiao, Yibo Sheng, Lixiang Wang, Mingjie Sun, Yunhao Sha, Pengfei Zhang, Shengyu Wang, Peng Wang 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Generative recommendation (GR) reformulates item retrieval as autoregressive generation of discrete semantic identifiers (SIDs), offering a unified paradigm for personalized recommendation. GR4AD, as an industrial generative recommendation framework, has greatly improved advertising revenue while enabling efficient real-time serving in Kuaishou.However, continued deployment has exposed three limitations: deterministic SID assignment remains sensitive to semantic boundaries; conventional backbone scaling provides diminishing revenue gains under strict serving constraints; and sequence-level value optimization provides limited credit assignment to intermediate SID decisions, causing likelihood-based beam search to prematurely prune potentially high-value candidates. We present GR4AD-X, which addresses these limitations through reliable SID construction, serving-efficient capacity scaling, and unified value alignment. Specifically, GR4AD-X improves SID reliability through Multi-Path assignment. It expands model capacity along multiple complementary dimensions rather than relying solely on wider or deeper backbones, achieving a better effectiveness-efficiency trade-off under strict serving constraints. Finally, Unified Value-Guided Generation and Discrimination (UniVGD) aligns generation with commercial value through prefix-level reward optimization, value-guided beam pruning, and discriminative reranking within a unified model. Large-scale online A/B tests on the Kuaishou advertising platform demonstrate that GR4AD-X achieves a cumulative revenue improvement of 3.07% over the deployed GR4AD baseline while satisfying strict latency and throughput constraints.

KamonBench: A Grammar-Based Dataset for Evaluating Compositional Factor Recovery in Vision-Language Models

Richard Sproat, Stefano Peluchetti

原文摘要

Kamon (family crests) are an important part of Japanese culture and a natural test case for compositional visual recognition: each crest combines a small number of symbolic choices, but the space of possible descriptions is sparse. We introduce KamonBench, a grammar-based image-to-structure benchmark with 20,000 synthetic composite crests and auxiliary component examples. Each composite crest is paired with a formal kamon description language (kamon yogo) description, a segmented Japanese analysis, an English translation, and a non-linguistic program code. Because each synthetic crest is generated from known factors, namely container, modifier, and motif, KamonBench supports evaluation beyond caption-level accuracy: direct program-code factor metrics, controlled factor recombination splits, counterfactual motif-sensitivity groups under fixed container-modifier contexts, and linear probes of factor accessibility. We include baseline results for a ViT encoder with a Transformer decoder, two VGG n-gram decoders with and without learned positional masks, and fine-tuned Qwen3-VL-4B and Qwen3-VL-8B models. KamonBench therefore provides a controlled testbed for sparse compositional visual recognition and factor recovery in vision-language models.

Ego-OSCAR: Egocentric Open source Stereo CAptuRe System

Senthil Palanisamy, Satpal Singh Rathore, Pratyush Kumar Patnaik, Shubhanshu Khatana, Gunjan Paul, Abhishek Anand

原文摘要

Egocentric vision has scaled its corpora far faster than its instruments. Calibrated stereo rigidly coupled to a synchronized inertial stream is not new; research-grade headsets deliver it. What does not exist is an open version: those platforms are closed products a third party cannot build or extend, and the consumer cameras used elsewhere are monocular and rolling-shutter. The instrument is the least reproducible part of an otherwise open pipeline. We present our system, an open-hardware head-mounted capture platform, at a complete bill of materials under USD 200 in commodity parts and 3D prints. It pairs a hardware-synchronized global-shutter stereo camera with a 6-axis IMU, an embedded Linux SBC for on-device encoding, and a real-time microcontroller that bridges the camera and inertial clock domains to a residual of 700 microseconds and watchdogs the recording against silent failure. We release the full stack alongside the device: CAD, firmware, recording and time-synchronization tooling, and our corpus, roughly 550 hours of stereo video over 1,462 sessions and 25 contributors, every device shipping its own stereo calibration. The corpus ships with model-predicted annotation layers rather than raw video alone, including per-frame 3D hand reconstructions spanning essentially the whole timeline; these are automatic predictions, not human-verified ground truth, and we report them as such. We characterize the instrument along sensor fidelity, data utility, and six months of distributed field deployment. Our system is not the highest fidelity egocentric rig; it is the cheapest one a reader of this paper can reproduce, and the only corpus here that others can extend rather than only consume.
