OBB-PBD: Extending Parallel Box Decoding to Oriented Bounding Boxes for Referring Expression Grounding in Aerial Imagery

Chang Woo Song, Yeong Jun Koh

原文摘要

Referring expression grounding in overhead imagery requires oriented bounding boxes rather than horizontal ones, since aerial objects appear at arbitrary orientations. Most grounding models emit box coordinates sequentially; Parallel Box Decoding (PBD) instead predicts all geometry slots in one forward pass, but only for four-coordinate horizontal boxes. We extend this block-aligned interface to a six-slot oriented representation using a double-angle parameterization. Rather than assuming correctness from a decreasing loss curve, we verify the extension with image/prompt-shuffle controls and visibility/leakage probes, which show that the corrected model depends on both the image and the prompt rather than on prompt statistics alone. On the aerial vehicle visual grounding (AVVG) benchmark, whose targets are genuinely oriented, the extended model improves rotated intersection over union (rotIoU) from 0.1253 for the zero-shot baseline to 0.303 +/- 0.012 (mean +/- standard deviation over three training seeds) across the complete 6139-record test split spanning all 120 images. Learning oriented boxes rather than their axis-aligned envelopes adds 0.055 +/- 0.008 rotIoU beyond a matched control (per-seed 95% confidence intervals all excluding zero), whereas block expansion alone yields no rotIoU gain distinguishable from zero.

Authoring for Living Worlds: Tool-Constrained LLM Agents for Executable Multi-Actor Scenarios

Nicolae Cudlenco, Mihai Masala, Marius Leordeanu

原文摘要

Authoring a multi-actor scenario for a living 3D world, where every action changes its state, and each action's validity depends on the state accumulated before it, demands the freedom of storytelling and the rigor of simulation at once. We author such scenarios with LLM agents, as Graphs of Events in Space and Time (GESTs) that a simulation engine executes deterministically into narrative videos with per-frame spatial, temporal, and semantic ground truth. A staged pipeline driving a flagship LLM, the standard design in video generation, failed outright: the model violates rules stated verbatim in its prompt, and cannot track the dynamic world state. We answer with a constraint-enforcing tool layer: our Director and Scene Builder agents explore the world's capabilities page by page and build every scene through operations checked against simulator state, so every specification they emit is valid by construction. Because we generate each seed text from an existing scenario graph, we can measure reconstruction: the agent authors its own graph from the text alone, yet matches the original at 0.83 F1 on its events, each action with its participants (0.55 for a random scenario of the same kind), and 0.77 on their ordering (0.43 random). End to end: the standard staged pipeline produced 0 executable specifications in 50 attempts; our agents, driving a budget model, execute 20 of 25 (80%), and are, to our knowledge, the first to exercise the full expressive capacity of GEST.

Adapting Neural Posterior Estimators for Simulation-Based Inference in Agent-Based Models

Junyao Zhang, Jinglai Li, Junqi Tang

原文摘要

Agent-based models (ABMs) are widely used in economics and social sciences. They represent heterogeneous personal behaviors and their interactions by using simulations, whereas their likelihoods are often intractable for parameter estimations. Therefore, most traditional statistical inference techniques are hindered. Driven by recent advances in probabilistic machine learning, recent works have applied neural networks to achieve likelihood-free inference in large-scale ABMs. Specifically, Neural Posterior Estimation using normalizing flows provide amortized Bayesian inference from simulations, yet a pre-trained estimator may become inaccurate when the target task changes. In this work, we investigate the practicality of adapting a pre-trained conditional normalizing flow through a unified sequential neural posterior estimation test-time training (SNPE-TTT) framework. The framework includes four adaptation strategies: full-parameter adaptation, low-rank adaptation, and two update spaces identified from target-task gradients. We evaluate all four methods across economic simulation models with both tractable and intractable likelihoods. These benchmarks demonstrate that the sequential neural posterior estimation test-time training framework can adapt pre-trained posterior estimators to related inference tasks using a limited budget of target simulations. Posterior recovery and computational benefits depend on the task and adaptation strategy, with lower target-stage cost in some settings but no consistently superior posterior accuracy.

An Interpretable CF-RL-TOPSIS Fusion Model for Skills-Aware Talent Recommendation

Özkan Canay

原文摘要

Effective skills-aware talent recommendation must balance behavioral transition patterns, trajectory-sensitive adaptation, and inspectable occupation-level criteria. Evidence from public benchmarks on how these signals interact, however, remains limited. This study proposes CF-RL-TOPSIS, an interpretable late-fusion model that integrates a transition-aware collaborative branch, a compact reinforcement-style occupation-family bandit, and an entropy-weighted TOPSIS branch constructed from six semantic proxies; the validation-selected fusion coefficients remain auditable. The model is evaluated on two frozen public ICT talent-history benchmarks, JobHop and Karrierewege, using repeated chronological top-5 ranking and paired Wilcoxon tests. On JobHop the full hybrid attains NDCG@5 = 0.3040 +/- 0.0073 and significantly surpasses repeat-last, item Markov, transition-aware collaborative filtering, the CF+TOPSIS hybrid, GRU4Rec, and SASRec (p <= 0.0039 across planned comparisons). On Karrierewege the hybrid remains competitive but does not significantly exceed the strongest Markov baseline, revealing a persistence-dominated setting in which the bandit branch appropriately shrinks to near-zero weight. Proxy-sensitivity, family-level deep Q-network, and runtime checks support this interpretation, and a worked user-level case shows how branch scores, criterion weights, and rank shifts can be inspected for an individual recommendation. The contribution is not a benchmark-agnostic superiority claim, but a reproducible account of the conditions under which transparent late fusion adds value beyond simple continuation heuristics. In semantically rich, non-saturating talent-history regimes the three branches reinforce one another; in persistence-dominated regimes the same architecture remains competitive through its collaborative backbone, with the adaptive branch correctly inactive.

From Comparison to Selection: Enhancing Cross-Scale Generalization of Pointer Networks Trained with Reinforcement Learning for Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem

Sofiene Lassoued, Devara Tertia, Stefan Lier, Andreas Schwung

原文摘要

Vehicle routing in delivery and logistics remains challenging as the number of clients varies. Classical approaches based on mixed-integer programming and heuristics can scale poorly or require problem-specific design, motivating learning-based alternatives. Reinforcement learning is particularly promising, provided a single policy can generalise across problem sizes without retraining. Although attention-based Pointer Networks are inherently size-agnostic, their solution quality degrades under both upscaling and downscaling. Using the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) as a controlled proxy, we investigate this degradation and identify three contributing factors: shifts in node density, attention dispersion, and dilution of the mean-pooled graph context. We systematically compare architecture-wide, encoder-side, and decoder-side modifications to address these limitations and propose a learned, permutation-invariant graph-context aggregation mechanism, implemented as a weighted average and as Set2Set. Results reveal distinct requirements for transfer in each direction: entropy-based attention scaling reduces the CVRP20-to-CVRP100 performance gap by 1.41 percentage points, while the proposed aggregation methods achieve the largest improvement on the more challenging CVRP100-to-CVRP20 transfer, approximately 0.9 percentage points. Exploiting this complementarity, we introduce an approach selector that chooses the best model for each training-target size pair. The selector reduces cost relative to the reference model across all nine seen train-test pairs and eight of nine pairs involving unseen sizes (CVRP35, CVRP75, and CVRP200), achieving improvements of up to 3.2%.

Model-Aware Generation of Safety-Critical Scenes for Robust End-to-End Driving via Distilled Planner Surrogates

Khaled M. Seyam, Julian Wiederer, Samar Fathalah, Markus Braun, Bin Yang

原文摘要

End-to-end driving models perform well on standard benchmarks but collide frequently in safety-critical scenarios. We present a failure-mode analysis on NeuroNCAP which shows that 95.9% of DiffusionDrive's collisions are planning failures despite reliable detection, pinpointing the bottleneck in planning rather than perception. We attribute this to a fundamental data imbalance, as safety-critical interactions are rare in real driving logs, so planners are hardly ever trained on them. We close this gap with a novel model-aware framework that generates safety-critical training scenes against a specific planner. Each planner is attacked at the bird's-eye-view (BEV) level through a differentiable surrogate distilled from its own planning head. This keeps the expensive video renderer out of the attack loop. We extract 50 scenes per planner, each pairing an attack with a safe escape trajectory that serves as the fine-tuning label. A fully automated quality-diversity search generates both the attacks and the escapes, so that their variety is not specified by hand. Only these scenes are rendered to fine-tune the planner, which reduces the computational cost significantly. Fine-tuning on these scenes roughly halves the closed-loop collision rate of two planners on NeuroNCAP (SparseDrive 28.0% to 12.2%, DiffusionDrive 37.5% to 19.2%) while largely preserving normal driving. A cross-planner transfer experiment shows that the gain comes from targeting the specific planner. Each planner improves most on the scenes generated against itself, and DiffusionDrive fine-tuned on SparseDrive's scenes retains only 6.7 of its 18.3-point collision-rate reduction.

RELAY: One Query, Two Roles for Sequential Recommendation

Zesheng Li, Chengchang Pan, Honggang Qi

原文摘要

Sequential recommendation must combine semantic preferences with behavioral associations to deliver accurate rankings at low inference cost. Sharing history selection connects preference representation directly to the behavioral evidence used in candidate scoring. We present RELAY, a compact sequential recommender built around one query, two roles: semantic readout and behavioral-memory routing. A single learned query forms a semantic preference representation and reuses its attention to route direct-history and transition evidence into candidate scores. Candidate-conditioned gates calibrate the two memory channels for each candidate. RELAY trains both roles with a single catalog likelihood and produces the final ranking in one forward pass. Full-catalog experiments on six datasets show that RELAY achieves the highest Recall@5 and NDCG@5 among the compared methods on every dataset, improving over the previous best model by 14.22% and 17.88% on average. With 2.044 million predictor parameters, RELAY reduces predictor size by 65.12% and achieves a 1.75~1.79$\times$ inference speedup over the previous best model.

Mirror descent algorithms with logarithmic barriers

Alberto De Marchi, Yura Malitsky, Adrien B. Taylor

原文摘要

We derive convergence guarantees for mirror descent and proximal mirror descent with a logarithmic barrier as the distance-generating function. When the solution lies on the boundary, the Bregman divergence blows up and classical guarantees become vacuous. While existing remedies recover $O(\log k/k)$ rates by adapting classical bounds, we propose a more direct route in which the Bregman distance to the solution never appears, and which achieves the same rate with constant stepsize. We also construct an example showing that this rate cannot be improved in general. Finally, we compare the proposed approach with interior-point methods.

MedEvo: Medical Reasoning Evolution through Knowledge Navigation

Xiaoliang Wang, Zhuo Chen, Chuanyang Zheng, Quanbin Wang, Jiangwei Lao, Yingao Liu, Jiajia Liu, Jinming Cao 等 14 位作者

原文摘要

Medical multimodal reasoning models are typically trained on teacher-generated rationales, discarding the valid reasoning in students' own failed trajectories, while general-domain correction methods offer little guidance for errors in image reading, anatomical context, or differential diagnosis. We propose MedEvo, which uses medical knowledge, namely a tag taxonomy and error-type diagnosis, to navigate both trajectory repair and data selection. For each failed rollout, a gold-blind auditor locates the first consequential error and provides a minimal, answer-free hint; the same student retains the valid prefix and regenerates the erroneous suffix. After each round, MedEvo identifies capability gaps across medical tags on a held-out feedback set and prioritizes related questions for new rollouts and repairs. With supervised fine-tuning (SFT) alone, MedEvo raises Qwen3.5-9B mean accuracy across seven benchmarks from 65.57% to 69.12% (47.40% to 54.50% on the multimodal track of MedXpertQA (MedXpertQA-MM)), surpassing teacher-distillation SFT (66.93%). It also raises Qwen3.5-35B and Qwen3.5-397B mean accuracy from 67.91% to 73.04% and from 71.83% to 74.95%, respectively. Our analyses show that failed trajectories contain reasoning worth preserving, that repair success does not imply learning value, and that independent feedback is key to sustained improvement.

Formation of international environmental agreements and payoff allocation

Michel Grabisch, Elena Parilina, Agnieszka Rusinowska, Georges Zaccour

原文摘要

Dealing with climate change requires that all countries engage in costly efforts to reduce their emissions. Reaching this objective has so far been elusive because it is in the best interest of each country to let the others do the effort and benefit itself from a better environment. The presence of negative externalities and strategic behavior have made game theory a natural paradigm to design an international environmental agreement (IEA) that codifies what countries should do. Considering that countries are sovereign and no supranational entity can impose an agreement, a stream of literature adopted a noncooperative mode of play to the formation of an environmental coalition. On the other hand, as joint optimization of all countries' payoff leads to the best outcome, cooperative games approach has also been proposed to share the cost of climate change. Both approaches have their pros and cons.

Simulation-Efficient Double-Flow Neural Posterior Estimation for Agent-Based Models

Junyao Zhang, Jinglai Li, Junqi Tang

原文摘要

Neural posterior estimation (NPE) enables Bayesian inference of the posterior parameter in agent-based models (ABMs) with intractable likelihoods, but simulating training data can be computationally expensive. We propose Double-Flow Neural Posterior Estimation (DF-NPE), which combines learned time-series summaries with two conditional normalizing flows for synthetic-data generation and posterior estimation. The framework supplements direct simulations with synthetic training pairs and supports both pooled and ordered training strategies. Experiments in two settings of the Brock-Hommes asset-pricing model show that DF-NPE can reduce direct simulations by 90 percent while achieving lower mean posterior discrepancies and runtime than standard NPE. Performance varies with the allocation of directly simulated and synthetic data and the training strategy. These results establish learned summary augmentation as a practical approach to reducing simulation costs for Bayesian posterior inference of parameters in ABMs.

Choosing models for network-wide freeway speed estimation and forecasting from sparse fixed sensors

Ran Tu, Zihao Li, Arash Mirzaei

原文摘要

Most freeway agencies have fixed detectors on only part of their network but need speeds for all of it. This paper compares methods for estimating current and next-hour speeds on every link from such sparse detectors, using historical probe data for training. The test network is the Dallas--Fort Worth freeway system: 4,127 directional links, of which 643 (15.6\%) carry a side-fire detector. Eighteen methods from five families (non-learned baselines, statistical estimators, tabular learners, road-graph neural networks and models that learn spatial relations) were trained under one protocol with three random seeds. Each neural architecture was also retrained with a parameter-free, direction-aware kernel interpolation of the sensor readings as additional input. Graph neural networks that pass information along the road graph, including a plain graph convolutional recurrent network, reduced the current-hour error on unsensored links by about 17\% relative to the historical average. Models with adaptive graphs, attention or identity embeddings stayed close to the historical average and did not fit the training data well, indicating that they could not learn which detectors matter for which links. With the interpolation features, all ten architectures came within about 0.1 mph of each other. The remaining error depended mainly on coverage: almost all of the improvement was found within about 3 mi of a detector, and very little on tollways without detectors or on links with no road-graph connection to one. The results are summarised as guidance on model choice and detector placement.

CognitiveReality: Robot-Agnostic Semantic Gaussian Mapping with an LLM Agent for Immersive Collaborative VR Teleoperation

Timofei Kozlov, Dmitrii Maliukov, Andrey Marchenko, Dmitrii Plotnikov, Miguel Altamirano Cabrera, Dzmitry Tsetserukou

原文摘要

A photorealistic 3D view tells a teleoperator where a robot is, but not what the scene contains, how well each object has been observed, or how to turn pointing and speech into robot action. CognitiveReality turns a robot's RGB-D stream into a live, semantically indexed Gaussian-TSDF map shared by an operator in virtual reality and a tool-using language agent. One mapper binary serves any platform through configuration alone: it ingests poses from robot SLAM, joint kinematics, motion capture or an inline visual tracker, bridges localization outages with a shadow tracker and keyframe-anchored PnP, and maintains open-vocabulary instance identities with per-object quality at 2 Hz. Speech and controller rays are grounded against persistent scene objects through validated typed tools and operator-confirmed robot actions. In the controlled agent evaluation, the deployed local Qwen3-VL-8B router reaches 81.24\% tool exact match, while merge-aware replay correctly redirects 101 absorbed object identifiers. On robot data CognitiveReality exceeds a Gaussian-plus-SDF baseline by 2-8 dB; pose error through 5-40 s SLAM outages stays within 1-8 cm. Deployed live on two quadrupeds, the agent executed 26 of 30 navigation requests and 20 of 20 re-observation requests, raising object quality by 2-5 dB.

Directional Attention Guidance for Diffusion Models via Sparse Hopfield Retrieval

Kwanyoung Kim

原文摘要

Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) improves sample quality in diffusion models, but its dual-pass inference and null-condition training limit its use in few-step regimes. Attention-space guidance is a single-pass alternative, yet why sparse-versus-dense attention guidance works remains elusive. We analyze attention extrapolation through Modern Hopfield dynamics and establish two directional properties of the sparse-dense discrepancy under shared conditioning that identify it as an acceleration direction toward the dominant stored pattern. Building on this, we propose Directional Attention Guidance (DAG), a training-free, single-pass rule that amplifies only the component of the discrepancy aligned with the retrieval direction; stability follows from a weak contraction property, and an analysis inside real cross-attention layers shows that this alignment is observed throughout sampling. DAG generalizes across UNet and MMDiT backbones and multi-step and few-step regimes, improving text alignment and human-preference scores on every backbone tested, including FLUX.1, FLUX.2, and Qwen-Image, at a small added cost per image over the base sampler.

Omni-InteractScope: Benchmarking Proactive and Agentic Interaction in Continuous Omnimodal Streams

Yinsong Yan, Ling Wang, Yuxuan Wang, Yifan Yang, Ruiyang Xu, Junming Lin, Qi Chen, Meng Gao 等 14 位作者

原文摘要

Omnimodal large language models (Omni-LLMs) are increasingly expected to assist users while observing continuous audiovisual streams. However, existing evaluations provide limited insight into how reliably these models connect stream evidence and user needs to timely, sustained interventions. We introduce \textbf{Omni-InteractScope}, a benchmark of 1,479 human-annotated, cross-reviewed interactions with 1,790 temporal targets across eight task groups. It links input modalities, event triggers, intervention types, and user needs, covering event-timed tool invocation and query-free assistance alongside notifications, warnings, state tracking, and continuous responses. Our experimental results on the proposed benchmark reveal three critical limitations of current Omni-LLMs: (1) \textbf{Timely tool invocation remains unreliable}: all 12 evaluated models produce an on-time first response for at most 40\% of tool-invocation targets, and joint timing-and-tool accuracy reaches at most 32.0\%. (2) \textbf{Query-free reminders remain poorly covered}: all evaluated models achieve lower timely reference-target recall on query-free reminders than on explicit questions, measured on their respective target sets. Reminder recall never exceeds 23.0\%. (3) \textbf{End-to-end guidance coverage remains limited}: nine models cover none of the 26 guidance sequences in full, and the remaining three cover only one to three sequences each. Targeted controls further show that tool-invocation scores alone do not establish event grounding and that reminder coverage depends on response history and frequency. These findings motivate developing and evaluating streaming assistants for timely action, initiative under general user needs, and coverage of entire response sequences.

Movable Antenna Enabled Anti-Jamming: From Local Optimality Guaranteed Design to a Unified Antenna Position Optimization Framework

Lebin Chen, Ming-Min Zhao, Lipeng Zhu, Zhenyu Xiao, Min-Jian Zhao, Rui Zhang

原文摘要

Anti-jamming capability is of paramount importance in modern wireless communications, yet conventional receivers are severely constrained by their fixed array geometries, which limit the available spatial degrees of freedom and leave performance highly susceptible to strong interference. By contrast, movable antennas (MAs) provide additional spatial degrees of freedom through antenna-position optimization. This paper investigates MA-enabled anti-jamming by jointly optimizing the antenna-position vector (APV) and receive beamformer to maximize the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). For the canonical setting with a single jammer and a single line-of-sight (LoS) propagation path on the legitimate link, we develop a damped projected-gradient descent (DPGD) algorithm with low computational complexity, which scales linearly with the number of receive MAs. We establish a generic active strict-saddle landscape for the resulting steering-coherence minimization problem and prove that DPGD converges almost surely to a local minimizer rather than merely to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) point. For the general setting with multiple channel paths on the legitimate link and/or multiple jammers, we derive an equivalent ridge least-squares formulation and develop a low-complexity soft-active projected-gradient (SAPG) algorithm, which also scales linearly with the number of receive MAs. We further show that the proposed antenna position optimization framework applies to both minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) and zero-forcing (ZF) reception. Numerical results validate the proposed algorithms, demonstrating substantial gains in both anti-jamming performance and computational efficiency.

Skill$^{\infty}$: Recursive Self-Improvement for Agent Skill Optimization

Wangcheng Tao, Zhanglu Yan, Han Wu, Weng-Fai Wong

原文摘要

Recursive self-improvement (RSI), in which a system also improves the way it improves, is a long-standing aspiration on the path to AGI. Language agents increasingly store procedural knowledge in reusable skills. Optimizing skills offers a direct way to achieve RSI, because the optimization procedure itself can be encoded as a skill. Existing skill optimizers, however, follow a hand-designed procedure. Even methods that evolve a meta-skill confine it to a fixed pipeline and relearn it for each task. We present Skill$^{\infty}$, which makes skill optimization recursively self-improving: a meta agent follows a meta-skill to optimize task skills and optimizes the meta-skill itself using the same procedure. The optimization is agent-led. The meta agent diagnoses execution traces, proposes candidates, requests independent reviews, and allocates the search budget. The meta-skill defines these steps, allowing self-improvement to rewrite them. This meta-skill is also decoupled from task skills, refined on multiple skill optimization tasks and then reused to optimize task skills across diverse domains. As in deployment, skills at both levels are standard packages loaded through native skill discovery. On 83 SkillsBench tasks, Skill$^{\infty}$ reaches a pass rate of 60.7%, compared with 56.4% for human-curated skills and 54.5% for SkillEvolver.

ECG-RSI: Recursive Self-Improvement through Targeted Electrocardiogram Waveform Evolution

Xiaoliang Wang, Zhuo Chen, Chuanyang Zheng, Jiangwei Lao, Quanbin Wang, Honglin Lin, Jiajia Liu, Zhihong Lu 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

Electrocardiogram (ECG) models need supervision that targets evolving weaknesses and remains faithful to waveform evidence. We introduce ECG-RSI, a recursive self-improvement framework combining verified waveform synthesis with feedback-guided intervention search. Signal remeasurement verifies waveform edits; construction errors guide generator repair, while learner errors motivate interventions compared on a separate selection set. Across seven benchmarks, three rounds raise Qwen3.5-35B-A3B's mean question-answering accuracy from 34.57% to 56.04% and mean classification F1 from 24.27 to 34.03. Across the retained trajectory, the preferred supervision shifts from direct reinforcement to confusion-focused contrasts. Continued feedback correction yields diminishing external gains. These results motivate separating error diagnosis from intervention selection and checking whether gains on the feedback set transfer to independent benchmarks.

Probing the phon* representations of the Mimi codebooks

Artem Saloev, Nicolas Ballier, Erin Pacquetet

原文摘要

Neural audio codecs are increasingly used to encode speech for integration with large language models. This paper investigates the phonetic representations in the first codebook (CB0) of the Mimi codec. ABX style evaluation is poorly suited to Mimi fixed 80 ms tokenization window, which often spans multiple phonemes; we instead use forced alignment, entropy analysis, and Phone-Normalized Mutual Information (PNMI). Using TIMIT speech (58/55 speakers, SA1/SA2), individual tokens are strongly associated with specific phonemes (PNMI = 0.84, above random), yet phonemes are realized by multiple competing tokens rather than a one-to-one mapping.

AlphaCNOT: Learning CNOT Minimization with Model-Based Planning

Jacopo Cossio, Daniele Lizzio Bosco, Riccardo Romanello, Giuseppe Serra, Carla Piazza

原文摘要

Quantum circuit optimization is a central task in quantum computing, as current NISQ devices suffer from error propagation that often scales with the number of operations. Among quantum operations, the CNOT gate is of fundamental importance, being the only two-qubit gate in the universal Clifford+T set. Minimizing CNOT gates is therefore particularly important, as these gates exhibit higher error rates and they typically introduce additional routing overhead due to hardware constraints. The problem of CNOT gate minimization has been addressed by heuristic algorithms such as the well-known Patel-Markov-Hayes (PMH) for linear reversible synthesis (i.e., CNOT minimization with no topological constraints), and more recently by Reinforcement Learning (RL) based strategies in the more complex case of topology-aware synthesis, where each CNOT can act on a subset of qubit pairs. We introduce AlphaCNOT, an RL framework based on Monte Carlo Tree Search that effectively addresses the CNOT minimization problem by modeling it as a planning problem. In contrast to other RL-based solutions, our method is model-based, i.e., it can leverage lookahead search to evaluate future trajectories, thus finding more efficient sequences of CNOTs. Our method achieves a reduction of up to 24.62% in CNOT count compared with the PMH baseline on linear reversible synthesis, and a consistent gate count reduction on different topologies with up to 8 qubits, also with respect to state-of-the-art RL-based solutions. Our results suggest the combination of RL with search-based strategies can be applied to different circuit optimization tasks, thus fostering the transition toward the "quantum utility" era.

Foundation Models in Medical Image Analysis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Praveenbalaji Rajendran, Mojtaba Safari, Wenfeng He, Mingzhe Hu, Shansong Wang, Jun Zhou, Xiaofeng Yang

原文摘要

Recent advancements in foundation models (FMs) have catalyzed a paradigm shift in medical image analysis. Unlike traditional task-specific artificial intelligence (AI) models, FMs leverage large-scale datasets to learn generalized representations that can be adapted to downstream clinical applications. Despite the rapid proliferation of FM research in medical imaging, there is a lack of unified synthesis that systematically maps the evolution of architectures, training paradigms, and clinical applications across modalities. To address this gap, this review provides a comprehensive and structured synthesis of FMs in medical image analysis by systematically organizing studies into two primary categories: vision-only foundation models (VFMs) and vision-language foundation models (VLFMs), based on their architectural foundations, training strategies, and downstream clinical tasks. A quantitative analysis was conducted on both VFMs and VLFMs to characterize temporal trends in dataset utilization and application domains, along with pooled performance and subgroup analyses. We also critically discuss persistent challenges, including cross-domain generalization, computational scalability, FM evaluation, fairness, and deployment. Finally, we identify key future research directions aimed at enhancing the robustness, interpretability, and clinical integration of FMs, thereby accelerating their translation into real-world medical practice.

Microkernels provide good features such as high security, safety, and flexibility, but their reliance on hardware-based isolation leads to heavy performance overhead, limiting their widespread adoption. Although constructing single-address-space microkernels based on safe language-based isolation is a promising approach to addressing the performance issue, this approach still faces challenges in maintaining the principle of minimality and enforcing capability-based, fine-grained access control over system resources. We propose safeL4, an approach to constructing microkernels based on safe languages. It guarantees minimality through low-level abstractions for unsafe operations, and implements a capability system based on the safe language's object capabilities to achieve fine-grained access control over all operations on system resources. We implement a prototype system in Rust, and our evaluation results show that the primitives provided by safeL4 are, on average, 1.9$\times$ faster than those of seL4.

Faithful Explanations under Missing Modalities in Multimodal Dementia Prognosis

Firuz Kamalov

原文摘要

Large language models are increasingly used to turn the feature attributions of multimodal prognostic models into narratives for clinicians, yet costly modalities such as amyloid PET and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers are often missing, and whether these explanations stay faithful under missing evidence has not been tested. We separate two failure points: phantom attribution, in which the model credits modalities that were never observed, and unfaithful narration, in which the report omits, cites or misjudges missing modalities. Using 307 participants of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative with complete data, we masked every subset of four costly modalities, predicted 36-month conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease, and restored the masked data to obtain interventional ground truth. All five missing-data strategies assigned 12% to 23% of attribution to unobserved modalities, and up to 45% with four absent; missingness-aware strategies minimised it at no cost in accuracy. Across 51,200 reports from four language models and four prompting regimes, naming absent modalities in the prompt raised acknowledgement from 48% to 88% and cut phantom evidence twenty-fold, but advice on whether acquiring a missing test would change the prediction was correct in only 27% to 41% of cases until checked against executed restorations, which raised accuracy to 69% for open-weight narrators and 99.9% for a proprietary model. Higher phantom attribution was associated with more phantom evidence and fewer faithful direction claims, and direction fidelity, measured by a calibrated language-model judge, depended on narrator scale rather than prompting. Narrators told to name absent modalities sometimes declared observed ones absent, an error that a structured template eliminated. We release the masking protocol and evaluation code.

MATE-BT: A Behavior-Tree-Based Framework for Hierarchically Decentralized Mission Autonomy in Heterogeneous Multi-Robot Teams

Sunbeen Lee, Hoseon Gi, Jik Hur, Inmo Jang

原文摘要

Multi-robot teams executing predefined missions must adapt to runtime changes and sustain mission management despite robot failures. This paper proposes MATE-BT (Mission, Allocation, and Task Execution with Behavior Trees), a hierarchically decentralized framework that separates mission execution, allocation, and task execution. An active onboard leader manages mission progression and team-level task assignment, with authority transferable to another leader-capable robot after failure. Interchangeable decentralized methods resolve target assignments, while each robot adapts its local behavior through planning and acting with behavior trees. Webots simulations and real-robot experiments demonstrate mission continuity despite new targets and robot failures, including active-leader failure. In the physical experiments, all MATE-BT computation runs onboard. Hardware-in-the-loop resource measurements further support onboard execution on Jetson Orin Nano and Raspberry Pi 5. By updating only the affected layers without full-plan regeneration, MATE-BT maintained a response time of approximately 130 ms with 30 robots and 120 targets. Comparisons of four target-assignment plugins reveal scenario-dependent trade-offs between mission completion time and total travel distance.

A knowledge-driven nonconvex square-root regularization framework for joint group sparsity and structured smoothness

Wanling Xie, Hu Yang

原文摘要

Structured sparse learning is a leading paradigm for high-dimensional data modeling, as it enables rigorous integration of domain-validated structural priors into the learning process. Among these priors, pre-defined grouped structure and piecewise smoothness are ubiquitous in real-world applications. However, most existing structured regularization methods are built on squared loss and convex penalties, rarely jointly model these two complementary structural priors, and suffer from two key limitations. Their optimal tuning parameters are sensitive to the unknown noise level $σ$ due to the squared loss. Meanwhile, convex penalties induce inherent estimation bias and severe over-shrinkage of large magnitudes. To address these issues, we propose a knowledge-driven Nonconvex Structured Smooth Adjustment for Square-Root Regularization (NS$^3$R), which unifies the $σ$-free square-root loss with a joint nonconvex $\ell_{2,q}$ penalty ($0 < q < 1$) to simultaneously encode group sparsity and structured smoothness priors. Theoretically, we establish rigorous non-asymptotic error bounds for the NS$^3$R estimator under a mild $(2,q)$-group restricted compatibility condition. Computationally, we develop an efficient double-screened IRLS with thresholding (DS-IRLS-th) algorithm, which adopts a nested double-screening strategy to reduce computational cost and improve numerical stability, with provable global convergence for the resulting nonconvex optimization problem. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world data demonstrate that NS$^3$R consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in finite-sample settings.

Intent-Preserving Adversarial User Simulation for Multi-Turn Agent Evaluation

Atri Vivek Sharma, Brian Formento, Alessio Lomuscio

原文摘要

Multi-turn agents are commonly evaluated with LLM-based simulated users, which can be overly cooperative and can therefore overestimate an agent's performance. We here introduce StressSim, an intent-preserving adversarial user simulator framework for stress-testing agents with challenging yet valid user interactions. StressSim optimises the simulator's high-level adversarial plan for each task instance. Candidate planner prompts are evolved with a genetic prompt-optimisation loop that uses rollout traces, granular task-completion signals, and validity feedback to favour conversations that reduce task success without changing the user's underlying goal. We evaluate the approach on the MultiWOZ dataset and the retail and airline domains from tau-bench with three target LLM agents, comparing against standard simulators and hand-designed non-collaborative user behaviours. We demonstrate the effectiveness of StressSim in exposing robustness gaps across frontier LLMs, with tau-bench pass^4 scores decreasing by up to 69% on gemini-3.8-flash and 62% on gpt-5.6-sol. StressSim maintains goal preservation performance (which decreases by at most 10%), using an optimisation budget of 20 rollouts per task. Sensitivity analysis suggests that increasing the budget further decreases task success. Overall our results demonstrate that StressSim exposes robustness gaps missed by standard and hand-designed user simulators while maintaining conversation realism. This is achieved through lightweight prompt optimisation alone, without model fine-tuning.

From Denoising Dynamics to Endpoint Uncertainty in Diffusion Language Models

Julio C. Amador Diaz Lopez

原文摘要

Predictive uncertainty in stochastic language-model inference can be characterized by repeatedly sampling an input and measuring the distribution of outputs. This requires multiple complete generations. Masked diffusion language models expose another source of information: the evolution of the output during denoising. We ask whether convergence within diffusion trajectories is associated with uncertainty across their final outputs, or endpoints. We study four masked diffusion language models on four reasoning benchmarks, collecting 20 generations per question and 32,000 denoising trajectories in total. Within each trajectory, we measure within-run concentration as the area under the curve describing stable resolution of the eventual output. Across repeated trajectories, we measure endpoint-distribution uncertainty. Stronger within-run concentration is associated with lower endpoint entropy after accounting for model and dataset ($β=-0.222$, $p<10^{-25}$). This association persists for multi-token outputs and when reweighting positive-entropy cases. The relationship is asymmetric: high within-run concentration almost exclusively accompanies concentrated endpoint distributions, whereas lower concentration occurs under both concentrated and competing endpoint regimes. This relationship strengthens as denoising proceeds. Features from a single denoising run predict whether independent held-out runs will concentrate on a common endpoint or produce competing endpoints. These results connect dynamics within individual denoising runs to variability across repeated inference. Within-trajectory dynamics contain information about whether independent repetitions will concentrate on a common endpoint or produce competing endpoints, providing a route towards estimating endpoint-distribution properties with fewer complete generations.

INVAR-Agri: Detecting Discrepancies in Multilingual Operator Manuals of Agricultural Implements with a Fine-Tuned LLM

Timo Oksanen

原文摘要

Operator manuals of agricultural implements are delivered in many languages, and the standards require that competent persons review every translation, which makes this review the bottleneck. This paper presents a proof of concept that compares two training workflows on the same LLM, EuroLLM-1.7B-Instruct, trained on operator manuals of one manufacturer. In approach A, a back-translator translates each language version back into English, and an English reader compares it with the English version. In approach B, a checker reads the English version and the translation together, where the checker reports differences. The test sets contain errors planted in numbers, units, opposite words, obligations, negations, and conditions in 24 languages, and they include unmodified text and meaning-preserving edits for alerts and false alarms. The trained back-translator concealed many planted errors, most of all weakened obligations, while translation-quality scores rose. In contrast, the separately trained checker detected most planted errors, although it was weak for units and for number changes unlike those in training. A check by the author confirmed the concealment. In addition, a simple rule check caught the number and unit changes, but it alerted on harmless rewrites. A check of alerts on real Finnish translations showed that most alerts were false, caused by language-specific wording, so the precision on real text remains a limitation. Within this setting, a trained checker might support, not replace, the review by competent persons, and firmer conclusions need more data.

Antimagic Labeling of Central Digraphs Constructed from Loops

Raja Rawat

原文摘要

Let $(T, \circ)$ be a loop of order $k \geq 3$ and $D_S^*$ the loopless central digraph obtained from the associated central digraph $D_S$ by removing the $k$ self-loops at the diagonal vertices. We construct an explicit arc-labeling $f$ of $D_S^*$ ordering all arcs lexicographically by $(\text{tail}, \text{head})$ and assigning labels $1, \ldots, m$ in that order and prove that $f$ is an antimagic labeling. Consequently, $D_S$ is antimagic for every loop of order $k \geq 3$, a property that depends only on $k$ and is invariant across all non-isomorphic loops of the same order.

ImgMT: Wikipedia-based Dataset For Evaluating Text-in-Image Translation

Šárka Uramová, Petar Kirilov Petrov, Josef Jon, Ondřej Bojar, Michal Novák

原文摘要

Text-in-image translation aims to translate all textual content embedded in an image. In Text Image Translation (TIT), the output is translated text; In-Image Machine Translation (IIMT) additionally renders the translation back into the image. We introduce ImgMT, a massively multilingual dataset and benchmark mined from localized SVG illustrations on Wikimedia Commons, focusing on diagrams, maps, and infographics. ImgMT contains 35,612 aligned image pairs grouped into 1,855 image sets, spanning 129 languages, 20+ writing systems, and 4,886 language pairs. We propose a multi-level evaluation protocol that measures source-side text-region detection and OCR accuracy alongside target-side translation quality. We benchmark several multimodal large language models and a dedicated TIT system in English->X and X->English settings, and find that the source language and writing system substantially affect TIT quality. Finally, we show that ImgMT is not well suited for isolating the contribution of visual information in multimodal translation.
