MahaVar: OOD Detection via Class-wise Mahalanobis Distance Variance under Neural Collapse

Donghwan Kim, Hyunsoo Yoon

原文摘要

Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is a critical component for ensuring the reliability of deep neural networks in safety-critical applications. In this work, we present a key empirical observation: for in-distribution (ID) samples, class-wise Mahalanobis distances exhibit a pronounced sharp minimum structure, where the distance to the nearest class is small while distances to all other classes remain large, resulting in high variance across classes. In contrast, OOD samples tend to exhibit a less pronounced sharp minimum structure, producing comparatively lower variance across classes. We further provide a theoretical analysis grounding this observation in Neural Collapse geometry: under relaxed Neural Collapse assumptions on within-class compactness and inter-class separation, ID samples are shown to structurally exhibit high class-wise distance variance, offering a theoretical basis for its use as an OOD score. Motivated by this observation and its theoretical backing, we propose MahaVar, a simple and effective post-hoc OOD detector that augments the Mahalanobis distance with a class-wise distance variance term. Following the OpenOOD v1.5 benchmark protocol, MahaVar achieves state-of-the-art performance on CIFAR-100 and ImageNet, with consistent improvements in both AUROC and FPR@95 over existing Mahalanobis-based methods across all benchmarks.

When Stored Evidence Stops Being Usable: Scale-Conditioned Evaluation of Agent Memory

Jiaqi Shao, Yiyi Lu, Yunzhen Zhang, Bing Luo

原文摘要

Memory-agent evaluations report fixed-snapshot accuracy or retrieval quality, but these scores do not show whether evidence remains usable as irrelevant sessions (sessions not annotated as task-relevant evidence for the query) accumulate. We present a scale-conditioned evaluation protocol for agent memory under evidence-preserving growth: for each query, task evidence is held fixed while irrelevant sessions are added. The protocol logs agent-memory trajectories and reports four diagnostics: budget-compliant reliability, tail memory-call burden, failure-regime decomposition, and the usable-scale boundary where reliability falls below the target. Applied to LongMemEval and LoCoMo across flat, planar, and hierarchical memory interfaces, the protocol shows reliability loss is not a single phenomenon. On LongMemEval, HippoRAG stays within the two-call budget but loses 16-20 percentage points in budget-compliant reliability as irrelevant sessions are added; LiCoMemory's observed failures depend strongly on the agent, with Qwen3-8B exceeding the budget while Qwen3-32B and Qwen3-235B remain reliable in the tested range. The result supports a framework for making scalable-memory claims conditional on agent, interface, scale range, and interaction budget.

MOSAIC-Flow: Orthogonal-Axis and Status-Conditioned Fusion for Missing-Sequence Completion in Brain Tumor MRI

Pengli Zhu, Zhihao Peng, Yixuan Yuan

原文摘要

Missing-sequence completion is important for comprehensive brain tumor characterization, but cross-modal fusion can obscure sequence-specific contrast and lose fine-grained three-dimensional tumor detail. To address this challenge, we introduce Modality-aware Orthogonal-axis Status-conditioned Attentive Integration for Completion (MOSAIC-Flow), a unified framework for missing-sequence completion that learns a target-conditioned velocity field while keeping the seven acquired volumes fixed throughout the transport. Specifically, modality-aware stems independently encode each sequence, and orthogonal-axis refinement captures axial, coronal, and sagittal dependencies while retaining the three-dimensional representation. Status-conditioned prototype fusion uses compact modality and availability tokens to route and modulate pooled queries from the fused visual representation, enabling target-adaptive conditioning without dense voxel-to-voxel attention. A conditional flow matching objective transports target-channel noise toward the single missing sequence, while four Heun trajectories are averaged to produce the completion. Evaluation across structural, diffusion, and contrast-enhanced MRI in UCSF-PDGM demonstrates consistent whole-brain and tumor-region fidelity across all eight single-target completion tasks, with the strongest performance on structural sequences. Code is available at https://github.com/CUHK-AIM-Group/MOSAIC-FLOW.

Judging Before Propagation: Task-Graph Contextual Integrity for Multi-Agent Privacy

Hengyu Wu, Blaise Delattre, Yang Cao

原文摘要

Multi-agent LLM systems increasingly rely on persistent memory and inter-agent communication. These capabilities create privacy risks that extend beyond individual interactions: a release appropriate in isolation may become inappropriate when combined with information previously disclosed to a recipient or propagated to downstream agents along the planned workflow. Existing Contextual Integrity (CI) mechanisms for agentic systems typically rely on local judgments that assess each disclosure in isolation, with or without regard to the recipient's history, but do not account for how information propagates downstream. However, compliance at the current boundary does not guarantee appropriateness across the workflow. We introduce Task-Graph Contextual Integrity (TG-CI), to our knowledge the first task-graph-native formalization of Contextual Integrity for multi-agent systems. TG-CI represents a workflow as a Multi-Agent Task Graph (MATG) and extends CI from atomic transfers to stateful, graph-level information flows by jointly considering an item's intended propagation scope and recipients' evolving disclosure states. We operationalize TG-CI through propagation-scoped authorization under two complementary policies: Full-Scope, which requires admissibility across the complete downstream scope, and Auto-Region, which confines each item to its maximal admissible region using lightweight frontier gates. We further introduce MAPLE-Bench, a benchmark of 144 cases across four scenarios that jointly vary MATG topology, disclosure history, compromised-agent placement, and item-level privacy policies. In our primary experimental configuration, TG-CI reduces the mean unauthorized disclosure count by 85.8-94.1% relative to the Local-History CI baseline, while retaining 93.6-96.1% of the baseline's task accuracy, with the two enforcement policies providing complementary privacy--cost--utility trade-offs.

RE4: Transformation-aware Imitation of Object Interactions Using Manipulation Modes

Arsh Chawla, Rahul Shome

原文摘要

Object interaction tasks have been a focus of advances in imitation learning. End-to-end methods, dominated by generative variants have shown leaps in performance but tend to be black boxes. Recent indications hint at demonstration lookup as the operating process underneath generative policy performance. In this paper, we revisit a few modern imitation learning benchmarks for object interactions, with the aim of composing a simple framework from first principles. We repurpose theories of manipulation modes and apply them to retrieve and transform demonstration datasets, creating a minimal strategy that preserves performance and robustness while remaining interpretable. We identify pose estimation as a key module that governs information about the object. This informs a manipulation mode-aware retrieval of a demonstration, a mode-aware transformation, a replan step that connects to the retrieval point while preserving mode constraints, returning a transformed demonstration for rollout. These compose four key steps of the proposed RE4 framework, evaluated over state-based and image-based benchmarks in simulated Push-T, Robomimic, and MimicGen as well as a real robot experiment. Robustness is measured in an adversarial study that evaluates sparse data regimes, a study with visual distractors, and the addition of an obstructing collision geometry. RE4 outperforms baselines, while notably preserving interpretability. The results overwhelmingly motivate the benefits of identifying simple interpretable building blocks to learn manipulation skills for object interactions.

Conic-Lifting for Learning-rate-free Convex Optimization

Julien Grand-Clément, Joon Kwon, Francesco Orabona

原文摘要

A central topic in online and stochastic optimization is to design algorithms that do not require tuning of hyperparameters. Successful strategies in online learning include AdaGrad-style learning rates, Conic Blackwell algorithms, and parameter-free algorithms. However, these classes require different, often difficult, analyses. We develop a unifying family of Online Convex Optimization (OCO) algorithms that require no user-tuned learning rate on convex domains that may be unbounded. The construction lifts the domain to a cone by adding one scalar coordinate, an idea going back to Blackwell (1954). The lifted subgradients are orthogonal to the corresponding lifted decisions, leaving the comparator scale free to optimize in the regret analysis. Applying Follow-the-Regularized-Leader (FTRL) and Online Mirror Descent (OMD) on the cone recovers Conic Blackwell Algorithm (CBA) and Conic Blackwell Algorithm Plus (CBA$^+$) on bounded domains in Hilbert spaces and extends them to finite-dimensional normed spaces with a strongly convex squared norm. For arbitrary nonempty closed convex domains in these spaces, a known gradient bound yields parameter-free regret guarantees. Surprisingly, on an unconstrained Hilbert space, the construction recovers the Krichevsky--Trofimov (KT) coin-betting algorithm exactly. We also give a parameter-free algorithm for unconstrained domains that requires no gradient bound.

MorphSIG: Subject-Driven Image Generation via Decoupled Anchoring and Feature Transport

Hailong Yan, Yongrui Zhang, Xiangtao Zhang, Le Zhang

原文摘要

We propose MorphSIG, a training-free framework that reformulates subject-driven image generation (SIG) as pseudo-video feature transport. MorphSIG contains two core modules: Progressive Decoupled Anchoring, which uses frequency-domain decoupling and structural scrambling during early denoising to break structural locking and enable a gradual transition from free composition to identity alignment; and Pseudo-flow Guided Feature Transport, which constructs a latent-space pseudo-flow field to mimic Image-to-Video temporal coherence and transport subject semantics precisely. To address stylistic homogeneity and the lack of ground truth in existing benchmarks, we further introduce a benchmark with diverse stylized subjects. Extensive experiments show that MorphSIG significantly improves pose diversity and subject fidelity over baselines without additional training. Overall, MorphSIG bridges static generation and dynamic propagation, providing a cost-effective paradigm for high-fidelity subject consistency.

ASIWorld: Benchmarking Autonomous Agents in a Persistent Survival Sandbox

Jianfeng Lin, Runze Wang, Haorong Hong, Yuxuan Xie, Zeno Zeng, Zhongyuan Liu

原文摘要

Evaluating autonomous agents requires examining whether they can translate goals into coherent action across extended interactions. In persistent environments, this requires coordinating interdependent actions under incomplete observations, accounting for delayed effects, and adapting as earlier decisions shape subsequent opportunities. We introduce ASIWorld, a survival sandbox that combines persistent world and character state with character-scoped observations and a programmable asynchronous interface to study sustained goal execution. Agents pursue interdependent production and exploration tasks through direct actions or agent-authored programs that continue running between model calls. The evaluation assesses task success, the attainment of development achievements, and survival costs, complemented by an analysis of execution behavior. In an exploratory study of nine agent configurations using a common harness, eight complete the production task and six complete both tasks. Analyses of execution trajectories and performance across difficulty levels reveal different preparation, combat, and recovery behaviors among configurations with similar task outcomes. Incomplete preparation is associated with stalled progression, while configurations that complete the tasks differ in survival costs and the fulfillment of additional achievement criteria. These findings illustrate the value of assessing sustained goal execution through both task outcomes and the behaviors and costs associated with achieving them.

OpenAttention: One Percent Is Enough with Tail Proxies

Hyunwoo Yu, Jongbeom Lee, Hyunbin Kim, Sungjun Park, Jaemin Choi, Jincheol Yang, Seunghun Moon, Bongjoon Hyun 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Sparse attention reads only a small subset of the key-value cache, and how to treat the unread tail remains a key challenge. Discarding the tail biases the output, and sampling it as previous approaches do fails at reads of 5% and below, where the tail likely holds heavy hitters the selector missed. Our key observation is that the simplest possible proxy, one token that folds the entire tail into its count-aware mean, already yields lower output error than a sample at every read behind a practical selector. We further show in closed form that at low reads sampling nearly doubles the weight error of discarding while a single proxy stays below it. Building on these findings, we explore approximating the dense attention distribution with a few proxies that target the tail. We propose OpenAttention, a pipeline of clustering, ErrorGate and top-k selection followed by a count-aware mean proxy. To implement clustering and selection both efficiently and effectively, we design training-free Query-Geometry Clustering (QGC) and a Query-Geometry Selector (QGS), which compress the keys while respecting the query directions. Additionally, unlike prior methods that rank clusters by centroid alone, ErrorGate allocates the exact read by the estimated weight error of each cluster. On RULER-32K HARD with Llama-3.1-8B, OpenAttention retains 99% of dense accuracy at a 1% read. It also achieves state-of-the-art accuracy across models, context lengths and datasets. Our customized attention kernel for OpenAttention runs the decode attention stage 10$\times$ faster than dense attention at a 1% read.

From Events to Enhancement: A Survey on Event-Based Imaging Technologies

Yunfan Lu, Xiaogang Xu, Pengteng Li, Yusheng Wang, Yi Cui, Huizai Yao, Mingchao Xu, Hui Xiong

原文摘要

Event cameras offering high dynamic range and low latency have emerged as disruptive technologies in imaging. Despite growing research on leveraging these benefits for different imaging tasks, a comprehensive study of recently advances and challenges are still lacking. This limits the broader understanding of how to utilize events in universal imaging applications. In this survey, we first introduce a physical model and the characteristics of different event sensors as the foundation. Following this, we highlight the advancement and interaction of image/video enhancement tasks with events. Additionally, we explore advanced tasks, which capture richer light information with events, \eg~light field estimation, multi-view generation, and photometric. Finally, we discuss new challenges and open questions offering a perspective for this rapidly evolving field.

ViP-Rig: Visual-Prompted Controllable Rigging

Zihan Qin, Mingze Sun, Yifan Mao, Jialei Xu, Jingfeng Guo, Changrong Hu, Wenbo Zhao, Junjun Jiang 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Rigging is inherently task-dependent because the same mesh may require different skeletons and deformation behaviors across animation tasks. In practice, artists often inspect an initial rig and repeatedly edit its skeletal structure and deformation behavior to meet specific animation requirements. Existing automatic methods primarily generate a plausible rig from geometry, offering limited explicit control over the resulting skeleton and deformation behavior. In this work, we present ViP-Rig, a visual-prompted framework that supports both prompt-first rigging and result-guided editing by injecting features extracted from user-drawn or edited 2D skeletal and rigidity prompts into frozen pretrained backbones. Specifically, ViP-Rig consists of two stages, Skeleton Generation and Skinning Prediction. In the first stage, the skeletal sketch is processed by the Dense-to-Compact Visual Prompt Encoding to produce compact, fixed-length conditioning tokens. The resulting tokens are injected into a frozen pretrained autoregressive generator through gated adapters to control joint placement and branching structure while preserving the generator's geometric prior. In the second stage, the rigidity map is processed using the same visual encoding design, while the pretrained skinning backbone remains frozen. The resulting tokens are symmetrically injected into the point and joint streams to modulate point-joint compatibility and the resulting skinning weights. Experiments on Articulation-XL2.0 and zero-shot evaluation on ModelsResource show that ViP-Rig more accurately recovers target skeletons and skinning weights than geometry-conditioned baselines under prompt-guided evaluation. Qualitative results further demonstrate explicit and localized control in both prompt-first rigging and result-guided editing.

Poisoning Agentic Alpha: Adversarial Vulnerabilities Across Roles and Architectures in Multi-Agent Trading Systems

CheolWon Na, Hao Ni, Lukasz Szpruch, Zhangyang Wang, Dhagash Mehta, Saurabh Nagrecha, Alejandro Lopez-Lira, Chanyeol Choi 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

LLM-based multi-agent trading systems are moving from research prototypes to live deployments that control real assets. They ingest news and social media from the open web and pass it between agents, so a single corrupted signal can reach the final decision and cause financial loss. We study two adversaries that can introduce such signals without access to model internals: a low-barrier data adversary that plants manipulated content in web sources, and a compromised-agent adversary that tampers with an agent's prompt. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic empirical study in finance of how an adversarial signal enters a multi-agent trading system and whether it survives to alter the final trading decision. Along the role axis, we pair each of four roles---Analyst, Researcher, Trader, and Risk Manager---with an attack matched to its interface. Along the structural axis, we compare four communication topologies, interpreted with a simple parameter-free heuristic, the Adversarial Signal Preservation Score. Experiments on post-cutoff data span five assets and two target directions. We find that no architecture is inherently robust: majority voting offers conditional protection depending on benign-agent agreement, while compromising a terminal decision node can bypass upstream safeguards. These findings provide empirical insights for developing more effective defense strategies for multi-agent systems.

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

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.
