Cranio-Diff: Diffusion-based Cross-domain Craniofacial Reconstruction with 2D X-ray Skull Guidance and Structural Identity Constraints

Ravi Shankar Prasad, Naresh Gurjar, Shashank Baghel, Chirag, Dinesh Singh

原文摘要

The identification of unknown human remains is a persistent humanitarian and forensic challenge. In forensic investigations, it becomes even more challenging when common biometric DNA identifications, such as soft-tissue or hair strands are not present, as they degrade with time. To narrow down the process of identification, few attempts have been made to identify an individual by reconstructing a face from the given skeletal remains ( i.e., skull) using generative AI models, such as CycleGAN, Pix2Pix, and diffusion models. However, they fail to effectively capture semantic information in craniofacial reconstruction, due to a mismatch in the alignment of structural information across modalities. To address this issue, we propose Cranio-Diff, a diffusion-based framework for craniofacial reconstruction from 2D X-ray skull images. The proposed approach integrates skull-conditioned structural guidance through ControlNet with biometric text prompts to generate a face. The proposed Cranio-Diff method is evaluated on skull-face dataset obtained from X-ray scans of 120 subjects in lateral and frontal views. To enable controlled evaluation, each face image is artificially synthesized across three age groups (25, 45, 65) and three BMI variations 10%, yielding 4320 paired samples. This dataset is also curated across different facial modalities ( RGB and sketch) with different appearance conditions (hair and without hair). To the best of our knowledge, this is the only X-ray-face dataset with this magnitude. Extensive experiments showed that the proposed method achieves improved performance over the recent existing approaches in both generated image quality and retrieval task. Finally, to evaluate the performance of our proposed method, we have evaluated the quality of the generated image using FID, SSIM, LPIPS score.

Satellite Intelligence: Distributed Training, Collaborative Inference,and LLM Adaptation in LEO Constellation

Zheng Lin, Zhanwei Wang, Yuxin Zhang, Yafei Wang, Ons Aouedi, Zihan Fang, Jinfeng Xu, Jing Yang 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

The proliferation of orbital sensing data and the real-time demands of emerging global services are pushing low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks from bent-pipe relays toward intelligent onboard processing. This shift confronts a fundamental tension, where modern artificial intelligence (AI) training paradigms require intensive computation, abundant memory, and stable connectivity, all of which are scarce under the dynamic topologies, intermittent links, and severe size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints of satellite networks. Addressing this tension demands rethinking AI workflows, from training and inference to the emerging deployment of large language models (LLMs), under a constraint-aware design philosophy. To the best of our knowledge, this paper provides the first survey that jointly covers all three, whereas prior surveys examine these aspects in isolation. We begin by identifying the deployment challenge of satellite intelligence (SI) and deriving design principles for SI. We then examine three advancing paradigms: i) distributed training, where federated learning (FL) and split learning (SL) enable satellite-ground co-training under resource limitations; ii) collaborative inference, which exploits single-satellite, multi-satellite, and satellite-ground architectures to meet real-time service demands; and iii) on-orbit LLM adaptation and serving, which tackles the frontier challenge of deploying LLMs under severe orbital constraints and resource-aware serving. Finally, we identify open challenges and future directions. By bridging the AI and satellite networks, this paper provides a research roadmap for the implementation of space-native AI technologies.

Let the Gate Decide: Per-Lookup Precision for Quantized Conditional Memory in LLMs

Tianqi Chen, Xunchao Li, Linchuan Xie, Guanghua Yu, Jianchen Zhu, Peisong Wang, Jian Cheng

原文摘要

Conditional memory layers, such as DeepSeek's Engram, attach large hashed n-gram tables to a language model, and removing them from DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash costs 36.8 PopQA points. Low-bit quantization loses long-tail facts first, and the standard remedy, giving more bits to frequently accessed rows, backfires: refining lookups by access frequency is worse than refining them at random. We trace this to the gate that scales each retrieved row. A lookup's quantization error is weighted by its gate, which is small for frequent n-grams, large for the rare n-grams of long-tail entities, and computable from a 1-bit code. GateRQ therefore stores each row as a ladder of 1-bit residual codes, keeps level 1 in GPU memory to compute the gate, and reads deeper levels only for the lookups the gate ranks highest. Without retraining, GateRQ cuts GPU table memory by 7.8x on DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, which raises vLLM throughput by 11%-31% over FP8 tables, while losing about 1 PopQA point at 1.50 bits read per lookup and 0.2 points at 2.10 bits across two models.

Enhancing Deep Learning Model Performance through Data Generation Strategies: Classification of Olive Tree Diseases

Hicham El Akhal, Abderrahim Waga, Aissa Ben Yahya, Abdelbaki El Belrhiti El Alaoui

原文摘要

Deep learning models are highly effective in a wide range of domains, particu larly in plant disease diagnosis. However, their performance is often limited by challenges such as insufficient data and class imbalance. In our work, we propose a comprehensive data generation strategy to overcome these limitations. First, we apply various data generation techniques, including traditional augmentation methods, CutMix, MixUp, and synthetic image generation using Deep Convolu tional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGANs), to create new data samples. Second, we exploit this generated data in three scenarios: (S1) balancing class distribution in the original dataset, (S2) increasing the number of samples per class, and (S3) expanding the dataset while maintaining balanced classes. Third, we evaluate the impact of these data distributions (S1, S2, S3) on model perfor mance using the EfficientNetV2B0 architecture with pre-trained and fine-tuned weights. The experimental results show a substantial improvement in classifica tion accuracy, emphasizing the critical role of data diversity and class balance. These findings highlight the effectiveness and adaptability of the proposed strat egy of data generation and distribution for enhancing dataset quality, offering promising applications in plant disease detection and precision agriculture.

Self-Supervised Pretraining for PHM: What Transfers, What Does Not, and What Federating It Costs

José Sanz-Durán, David Solís-Martín

原文摘要

Self-supervised pretraining has produced capable time-series foundation models, but its value for Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) has not been measured under leakage-controlled conditions. We measure it on a corpus of 47 public PHM datasets, harmonized to a single tensor contract and partitioned so that 11 datasets are withheld from pretraining in full. Transfer turns out to be task-dependent: a compact channel-independent Transformer encoder (801,808 parameters) pretrained with masked patch prediction raises fault-classification macro-F1 from 0.350 to 0.812 on CWRU and from 0.569 to 0.951 on HSG18, yet on CMAPSS remaining-useful-life estimation no pretrained checkpoint reliably improves upon a from-scratch baseline. We pretrain under two regimes---centralized, and simulated cross-silo federated with ten clients grouped by physical domain---holding architecture, objective, source data and optimization budget fixed. Two further findings are negative. At matched budget the centralized encoder leads by 15.5--20.2 macro-F1 points in four of four comparisons, although the comparison is confounded by a learning-rate schedule that favours the centralized arm and rests on a single pretraining run per regime; on RUL the two regimes are indistinguishable. And the intrinsic SSL loss is not a valid selection criterion: the centralized encoder more than halves the federated reconstruction loss without a corresponding gap on RUL, and a server-momentum sweep moves downstream validation macro-F1 by up to 0.29 while the SSL loss varies by 0.021. Transfer also hinges on the backbone learning rate: the same checkpoint yields 0.169 or 0.829 macro-F1 on CWRU depending on a single order of magnitude. We release the corpus pipeline, the protocol and the code.

ActTail: Global Activation Sparsity in Large Language Models

Wenwen Hou, Xinyuan Song, Wenqian Weng, Shiwei Liu

原文摘要

Activation sparsity is a promising approach for accelerating large language model (LLM) inference by reducing computation and memory movement. However, existing activation sparsity methods typically apply uniform sparsity across projections, ignoring the heterogeneous statistical properties of Transformer weights and thereby amplifying performance degradation. In this paper, we propose ActTail, a TopK magnitude-based activation sparsity method with global activation sparsity allocation grounded in Heavy-Tailed Self-Regularization (HT-SR) theory. Specifically, we capture this heterogeneity via the heavy-tail exponent computed from each projection's empirical spectral density (ESD), which is used as a quantitative indicator to assign projection-specific sparsity budgets. Importantly, we provide a theoretical analysis that establishes an explicit relationship between the activation sparsity ratio and the heavy-tail exponent under the HT-SR regime, offering principled guidance for sparsity allocation beyond heuristic design. Experiments on LLaMA and Mistral models show that our method improves both perplexity and downstream task performance at high sparsity compared to uniform allocation. At 80% sparsity, perplexity is reduced by 21.8% on LLaMA-2-7B, 40.1% on LLaMA-2-13B, and 9.4% on Mistral-7B.

Identities, Not Pairs: Distribution-Free False-Accept Control for Embedding-Based Verification

Salim Khazem

原文摘要

Embedding-based verification often calibrates a false-accept threshold from all impostor pairs among $m$ identities, although these pairs share identities. We characterize a worst-case limit: when hub identities score highly against a fraction $ρ$ of the population, a calibration-only threshold with marginal false-accept rate (FAR) at most $α$ under every identity-exchangeable law reaches the hub score on hub-free calibration sets with probability at most $(m+2)α/(2ρ)$. Uniformly accepting near that score at levels well below $ρ/m$ therefore requires trial information. We propose COVE, which ranks the trial pair among all $N=\binom{m+2}{2}$ pairs formed by augmenting the calibration units with the probe and reference. Under identity exchangeability, its marginal FAR is at most $\lfloorαN\rfloor/N$, with first possible acceptance at $1/N=O(1/m^2)$. The rule also retains this guarantee with a fixed symmetric cohort-normalized score using an independent cohort. On 6 benchmarks and 8 frozen encoders, realised FAR was consistent with the exact bound. Where both valid calibration-only baselines accepted nothing, COVE retained a median $100\%$ of the sampled oracle's true-accept rate over reliable comparisons. In contrast, an empirical quantile over dependent pairs reached 2.87$\,α$ FAR, and a binomial upper confidence bound over pairs missed its nominal 95\% conditional-FAR target in up to 55\% of calibration draws. Symmetric CSLS raised COVE's true-accept rate by up to 4.3-fold in the tested settings. The code is available in https://github.com/salimkhazem/Cove.git

Video Prediction Policy 2: Predict Better, Act Better

Yanjiang Guo, Haodong Yan, Zhide Zhong, Zhongru Zhang, Qingyuan Yang, Qingzhou Lu, Xiaoyu Chen, Yen-Jen Wang 等 18 位作者

原文摘要

World action models (WAMs) have emerged as an important class of generalist robot policies, aiming to transfer video prediction priors to action learning. However, we find that existing WAMs frequently produce incorrect motion predictions in open-ended environment, leading to erroneous actions. We attribute this limitation to two factors: (1) base video models are not optimized for manipulation, and (2) naively incorporating action components into video models can substantially degrade their generalization capabilities. We introduce Video Prediction Policy 2 (VPP2), a WAM that enables strong zero-shot generalization in both video prediction and action generation. First, we curate a large-scale, diverse dataset of manipulation videos to continue pretraining the base video foundation model. We annotate video clips with detailed captions and perform \textit{event-level} video pretraining to promote generalization across open-ended manipulation tasks. Second, we post-train and distill the video model into a single-step visual planner with fixed prediction horizon. Finally, we introduce action module via a mixture-of-transformers (MoT) architecture to learn implicit inverse dynamics model. Experiments demonstrate three key results: (1) VPP2-14B outperforms Cosmos3-64B by 11.0\% points in video prediction instruction-following success rate on open-ended tasks; (2) VPP2 surpasses the strongest baseline by 18.5\% points in success rate on real-world zero-shot ALOHA manipulation tasks; and (3) following benchmark-specific post-training, VPP2 achieves the highest success rates among evaluated methods on the challenging LIBERO-Pro, LIBERO-OOD, and RoboDojo benchmarks.

Learning Loco-Manipulation From SMPC Demonstrations With Sparse Offline-to-Online RL

Martin Schuck, Maks Sorokin, Simone Manni, Duy Ta, Angela P. Schoellig, Marco Hutter, Simon Le Cleac'H, Jan Brüdigam

原文摘要

Integrating locomotion and manipulation is essential for robot autonomy, but scaling standard Reinforcement Learning (RL) to complex tasks is severely bottlenecked by the slow, manual process of dense reward shaping. To bypass this limitation, we leverage Sample-based Model Predictive Control (SMPC) entirely in simulation as an automated, rapidly tunable expert to generate massive offline datasets. Because this data solves the fundamental exploration problem, we can train an off-policy RL agent using purely sparse task rewards, drastically reducing the time required to learn new skills and eliminating the need for manual tuning. Integrating this high-level agent with a low-level dynamic stability controller yields more optimal behaviors that strictly align with true task objectives, ultimately allowing the learned policies to surpass the original optimal control teacher. We validate the robustness of this sim-to-real framework by successfully deploying complex loco-manipulation skills across different morphologies, including an arm-equipped Spot quadruped and a G1 humanoid.

The Voice on the Line

Husein Zolkepli

原文摘要

A transcriber listening through one microphone also hears everyone near it. We train causal voice isolators: masking transformers of 140M, 243M and 374M parameters, 20 ms of latency, enrolling the caller from the call itself. Short evaluation windows hide two failures that real calls expose: forgetting the caller when another voice talks alone for a while, and damaging a caller who is alone. Long calls with turns, memory beyond the attention window, real headset crosstalk and drifting caller levels address both, but each trades one against the other. WavLM-Large's own weights, made causal and trained with the model, move the trade: M with them (555M parameters) lowers the error on our development sets from 11.44% to 10.55%; a student trained from scratch to imitate WavLM does not, and w2v-BERT 2.0 and Whisper's encoder, pre-trained on far more audio, help less or not at all. A lone caller loses most at the start of a recording: no training call opened with someone already talking. Training on windows cut from longer calls lowers the error on clean development calls from 3.92% to 2.96%; this is our release. Live, the release makes 16.13% word errors on 60 s AMI windows, against 23.66% for VoxLock, the strongest open isolator, and 10.19% on its own AMI windows, against 11.71%; it is level on Krisp's benchmark (5.74% against 5.63%), and a caller who is alone still loses more words than with VoxLock (5.58% against 2.92% on clean test calls). Distilled into 22.1M parameters without WavLM, it runs live on one CPU thread inside a LiveKit agent, at 33% of a core per call in 20 ms frames, with 10.66% error on our development sets (the release 10.49%). We open-source the release and this CPU model, with a LiveKit plugin, at https://huggingface.co/collections/Scicom-intl/voice-isolator.

Encode Once, Decode Never: Reusing Audio LM Internals for Efficient Temporal Localization

Joseph An, Phillip Keung, Jiaqi Wang, Orevaoghene Ahia, Noah A. Smith

原文摘要

Audio language models process input audio into rich frame-level representations, but the standard approach to temporal localization generates timestamps as sequences of text tokens, which discards the frame-level representations in favor of autoregressive decoding. However, generating timestamps as tokens is slow and not parallelizable, and tends to hallucinate when producing timestamps outside the training distribution. We propose internal frame-level reuse, a method that trains audio LMs to reuse their own internal audio representations for temporal localization directly, bypassing token generation altogether. We introduce a lightweight prediction head trained via different frame-level objectives: a binary frame classifier and a novel inhomogeneous Poisson process (IHP) loss that models temporal event intensity. Across word localization, speaker diarization, and event localization tasks, our approach can achieve a >50x inference speedup over token-based generation and demonstrates robust length generalization, maintaining high accuracy on out-of-distribution audio durations where token-based models collapse completely. We find that reusing audio frame-level representations yields localization accuracies comparable to (and often better than) finetuned token-based baselines.

Low-rank MERA Decomposition of 3D OCT Image Volume for Compression, Denoising, Feature Extraction and Diagnosis of Retinal Diseases

Ivica Kopriva, Fei Shi, Marija Štanfel, Qin Peng, Jianhao Bao, Gaowei Li, Xinjian Chen

原文摘要

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging modality used for visualization of retinal tissue. However, OCT volumes are affected by speckle noise, which degrades image contrast and obscures fine structural details. Furthermore, modern clinical practice requires large field-of-view, high-resolution OCT volumes, whose storage and transmission are demanding for archiving and teleophthalmology applications. To address aforementioned challenges, we propose a low-rank multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz (MERA) tensor network approximation of 3D OCT image volume, where the image volume is represented as contractions of a top core factor encoding global features and multiple interacting low-rank orthogonal or semi-orthogonal factors modeling inter- and intra-B scan correlations. This representation jointly enables compression, denoising, and feature extraction. Unlike deep learning approaches, the proposed approach is training-free and processes each OCT volume independently. We evaluate the proposed framework on OCT image volumes acquired by two different scanners and demonstrate improved visual quality and reduced retinal layer segmentation errors in comparison with several competing methods. We also extract MERA features from two clinical OCT volume datasets. They are subsequently classified using a Grassmann-manifold nearest-subspace classifier. With the subspace dimension as its only hyperparameter, the classifier is theoretically shown to be robust in small-sample clinical scenario. We demonstrate competitive accuracy of classification of retinal diseases in these small-sample settings, where deep learning methods are often limited by the scarcity of labeled data. The proposed structure-aware model-driven representation learning for high-dimensional data under limited supervision provides good generalization performance while maintaining high interpretability.

What Makes Synthetic Hard Negatives Work in Vision-Language Pretraining?

Nikos Giakoumoglou, Paschalis Giakoumoglou, Andreas Floros, Kleanthis Marios Papadopoulos, Tania Stathaki

原文摘要

Synthetic hard negatives generated in the representation space have proven effective for unimodal self-supervised learning, but transferring this idea to vision-language pretraining is not straightforward. We analyze six representation-space synthesis strategies and identify two failure modes in their transfer to vision-language pretraining: cross-modal constructions that produce overly easy negatives or pull them toward the query, and intra-modal constructions that incorporate the matched positive. We also observe logit-scale saturation when training with synthetic hard negatives and a learnable temperature, and find that fixing the temperature improves downstream performance. Using this geometric analysis we propose SNAP, which generates intra-modal hard negatives that never involve the positive from either modality, avoiding both failure modes entirely. SNAP is model-agnostic, requires no external generative models, and adds less than 10% training time overhead. Evaluated on top of CLIP and FLIP across multiple architectures and datasets, SNAP delivers consistent improvements on zero-shot retrieval, zero-shot classification, and linear probe evaluation.

Position: Adopt Constraints Over Fixed Penalties in Deep Learning

Juan Ramirez, Meraj Hashemizadeh, Simon Lacoste-Julien

原文摘要

Deep learning models are increasingly subject to explicit requirements, or constraints, such as safety levels, fairness limits, and sparsity budgets. In practice, such requirements are often handled through fixed weighted-sum penalization: the constraints are added to the task loss with fixed coefficients, and the resulting scalarized objective is minimized. This position paper argues that fixed penalization is often ill-suited to deep learning problems with non-negotiable requirements, for three main reasons. First, in non-convex settings, the penalized and constrained problems are not, in general, equivalent, so a minimizer of the penalized objective need not solve the constrained problem. Second, a penalty coefficient sets an objective-constraint trade-off rather than the constraint level, so finding an acceptable coefficient often takes trial and error, each trial a full training run. Third, fixed penalization weakens hard requirements into soft penalties to be traded off against task performance. As a result, compliance is no longer built into the problem, and requirements can be quietly relaxed. We therefore argue that, when a deep learning problem specifies non-negotiable requirements, one should solve the constrained problem itself instead of a surrogate defined by fixed penalization.

MechAlign: Evaluating Semantic Alignment at the Project Level in Mathematical Formalization

Hao Shen, Ruichen Qiu, Lihong Zhi, Xiao-Shan Gao

原文摘要

Lean verifies that a formal proof establishes its stated proposition under declared assumptions, but does not check whether that proposition faithfully expresses the mathematical claim in a manuscript. Assessing this correspondence requires interpreting the main theorem through its project dependencies, which may be scattered throughout a large development. We introduce MechAlign, a framework for project-level semantic alignment review that combines formal dependency extraction with LLM-based assessment. Its extraction tool, LeanTrace, constructs a statement dependency graph from elaborated declarations, retaining definition bodies and structure constraints while excluding proof bodies and stopping at an explicit library boundary. The reviewer uses this context to investigate alignment and report discrepancies with localized evidence. We conduct a preliminary review of 201 main results from 173 OpenAI Math projects, using supplied informal descriptions and available paper context. A hyperbolic-group case illustrates how dependency inspection localizes a missing dimensional constraint relative to the manuscript, consistent with the upstream declaration of formalization scope. We also construct LeanReviewBench, comprising 501 fixed claim-statement-context triples from OpenAI Math, Fermat's Last Theorem, and Kakeya, with description provenance recorded. The resource supports controlled comparisons of more project-level semantic alignment evaluations.

Before Blaming the LLM, Diagnose the Workflow: A Role-Level Difficulty Profile for Translating Natural Language into Ontology-Grounded Statements

Liang Zhang, Benoît Daireaux, Sergey Alyaev

原文摘要

Natural-language-to-domain-specific-language (NL-to-DSL) semantic parsing systems increasingly translate informal user descriptions into structured artifacts such as Structured Query Language (SQL) queries, Application Programming Interface (API) calls, workflows, formal specifications, and ontology-grounded domain-specific language (DSL) statements. This paper focuses on ontology-grounded Assertion Box (ABox) DSL generation: the translation of natural language domain descriptions into assertion-level DSL statements grounded in a pre-existing ontology vocabulary. In this setting, syntactic validity is often easier to achieve than semantic adequacy. Failures are frequently attributed to weak generator models, but recurring sources of difficulty are also structural: insufficient input, weak domain grounding, output template and vocabulary gaps, weak validation, and non-local repair. We propose a role-level difficulty profile for diagnosing difficulty in ontology-grounded NL-to-DSL semantic parsing at the workflow level. The profile organizes diagnostic variables across five recurring workflow roles: Input, Generator, Output, Validator, and Repairer. The seven variables are input sufficiency, context availability, grounding complexity, template fit, vocabulary coverage, validation strength, and error observability. Practitioners construct the difficulty profile through qualitative judgment over available evidence. This experience-informed, non-exhaustive difficulty profile is intended to support workflow diagnosis and guide redesign or human-in-the-loop intervention.

Position Auctions with a Capacity Constraint

Eleni Batziou, Georgios Birmpas, Georgios Chionas, Piotr Krysta

原文摘要

Sponsored search auctions are commonly modeled as an assignment of a fixed set of positions to a set of advertisers, with welfare maximization reducible to a standard matching problem. Motivated by modern advertising environments, we study a richer variant of the classical position auctions model, in which ads may have heterogeneous sizes and the platform must jointly select a subset of ads and assign them to positions subject to a global capacity constraint. The size of an ad can capture the physical space it occupies on a page or its consumption of a scarce platform resource, such as communication bandwidth or computational capacity. Thus, size measures the resource cost imposed by an ad on the platform, which need not be related to the value generated by displaying it. We begin by studying a general formulation of the matching with a capacity constraint problem and propose an algorithmic technique that goes beyond known greedy methods while achieving constant-factor approximation guarantees for social welfare. Our allocation rule augments density-based ordering with capacity-aware local improvements, which allow for re-allocations that improve welfare, while respecting the capacity constraint. Applied in the context of position auctions, we analyze this algorithm under the standard assumptions of single-parameter agents, publicly known ad sizes, and position-dependent click-through rates (CTRs). In this setting, the size of an ad determines the amount of capacity it consumes, while the CTR depends only on the position to which it is assigned. We show that a minor modification to our algorithmic approach yields a universally truthful mechanism that achieves a 4-approximation of the optimal social welfare, and we show that this guarantee is tight. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such mechanism for this variant of the capacity-constrained matching.

Conversational Generalized Linear Bandits with Hybrid Feedback

Yurui Zou, Qirun Zeng, Jinhang Zuo

原文摘要

Conversational bandits improve recommendations by actively querying users about key-terms to elicit their item preferences. However, existing methods typically assume homogeneous feedback for items and key-terms, using either absolute rewards or pairwise comparisons. In practice, item feedback often takes the form of clicks or ratings, while comparisons are more natural for key-terms. To address this gap, we study conversational generalized linear bandits with hybrid feedback, combining absolute item rewards and relative key-term comparisons. We propose Conversational UCB with Hybrid Feedback (HyConUCB), which constructs unified confidence bounds from heterogeneous feedback and adaptively selects key-term comparisons by balancing information gain and directional coverage. Through a refined regret analysis that jointly exploits both feedback sources, we establish a regret bound that improves upon reward-only and adapted dueling-only benchmarks. Experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets validate the effectiveness of our algorithm.

The Lay of the Land in Idiom-Translation Quality Estimation

Malik Marmonier, Benoît Sagot, Rachel Bawden

原文摘要

Idioms have long been a challenge for machine translation, and while large language models (LLMs) have proven increasingly adept at handling them, whether quality estimation (QE) systems have kept pace and can reliably score idiomatic renderings of these expressions above faulty literal ones remains unclear. We introduce the first parallel dataset pairing idiom-bearing English sentences with both literal and idiomatic translations across nine target languages, augmented into multi-sentence segments and a graded literality continuum. Using this dataset, we benchmark eleven conventional QE metrics from the COMET and MetricX families and ten LLMs from the Qwen-3, Gemma-4 and OLMo-3 families used as GEMBA-style judges. We find that most systems, especially older metrics and smaller models, display a marked literality bias, rating literal translations of idioms above idiomatic ones. Higher parameter counts and newer training sets appear to reduce this bias to an extent; nevertheless, of all the benchmarked systems, only MetricX-24-Hybrid (XL, XXL) and Gemma-4-31B consistently rate idiomatic translations of idioms above literal ones, and only Gemma-4-31B reliably ranks intermediate degrees of idiomaticity and literality. Our findings caution against deploying standard QE metrics in domains rich in figurative language, where higher scores might be rewarding undesirable literalism.

Octen-WebGR: Scaling Generative Retrieval to 200 Million Web Pages

Guangwei Xu, Wenkai Zhang, Yawen Liu, Dongxu Zhang, Xijie Xu, Kuan Zou

原文摘要

Navigational search aims to find a single target page among hundreds of millions of web pages. Click tables work well for queries seen before but cannot generalise to new formulations, while embedding retrievers generalise across content but often rank navigational targets poorly. We introduce Octen-WebGR, a generative retrieval framework that stores web pages in the parameters of a language model: given a query, the model generates a two-token semantic identifier constrained to a table of real URLs. We develop Octen-WebGR-4B, which indexes 201 million web pages, and evaluate it on real navigational traffic from the month after training. Generative retrieval is most effective on new ways of asking for familiar pages: for unseen queries targeting pages with substantial interaction history, it ranks the correct page first 30.9% of the time, against 17.2% for a dense retriever trained on the same clicks (21.4% with a click prior). Embedding retrieval keeps an advantage on rarely visited pages, so the two approaches generalise on complementary sides, the query and the page. Over all navigational traffic, Octen-WebGR reaches 59.6% top-1 accuracy, against 46.5% for a click-enhanced dense retriever and up to 37.5% for frontier LLMs answering from memory, which cost at least 40 times as much per query. The 4B model runs on a single GPU with 10 GB of memory, compared with 412 GB for exact dense retrieval. Scaling experiments with up to 32 million URLs show that, when every query-page pair is seen equally often, the model size needed grows sublinearly with index size, and that retrieval is constrained more by page exposure than by model capacity. We release Octen-WebGR-4B and Octen-WebGR-0.6B with their identifier tables and inference code.

A categorical formulation of Kraus' paradox

Andrew W. Swan

原文摘要

We give a categorical formulation of Kraus' "magic trick" for recovering information from truncated types. Rather than type theory, we work in Van den Berg-Moerdijk path categories with a univalent universe, and rather than propositional truncation we work with arbitrary cofibrations, which includes truncation as a special case. We show, using Kraus' argument that any cofibration with homogeneous domain is a monomorphism. We give some simple concrete examples in groupoids to illustrate the interaction between homogeneous types, cofibrations and univalent fibrations.

Style over Substance? Linguistic Bias in LLM-based Peer Review Copy title

Sai Suresh Macharla Vasu, Sumedh Santosh Joshi, Philipp Christmann, Ivaxi Sheth, Ruta Binkyte, Koel Dutta Chowdhury, Raouf Kerkouche, Hui-Po Wang 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

The number of paper submissions to major AI conferences has increased dramatically in recent years, substantially increasing the peer-review workload of researchers. At the same time, large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to support peer review, both by individual reviewers and by conference organizations. While LLM capabilities have improved considerably, their evaluations may be influenced by linguistic characteristics that are unrelated to scientific content. In this work, we introduce a controlled experimental framework for studying such effects by systematically perturbing the linguistic style of research papers. Specifically, we rewrite papers to exhibit (i) linguistic features associated with native or non-native English writing, and (ii) high- or low-confidence linguistic features. To construct these interventions, we derive fine-grained rewriting instructions grounded in the linguistic literature and apply them using LLMs. Crucially, our interventions are designed to preserve the underlying scientific content. We then evaluate the resulting papers using different LLM reviewers. Our experiments expose a critical vulnerability in LLM-based peer review: reviewers systematically reward confident rhetoric independent of scientific content, raising serious concerns about the robustness of their assessments.

NOMAD-EEG: Native Omni-Montage Adaptive Diffusion

Abdulkader Helwan, Khadidja Henni, Lina Abou-Abbas

原文摘要

Purpose. Electroencephalography (EEG) montages, channel counts and recording lengths vary widely, but most EEG foundation models are bound to the channel set and input length they were trained on. We aimed to build a generative EEG foundation model independent of the number, identity and order of electrodes and of the input length. Methods. NOMAD-EEG is a 12.0 M-parameter diffusion model that alternates state-space layers along time, without patches, with attention across electrodes identified only by their 3D scalp position. It was pre-trained on 147 h of unlabelled EEG from a single corpus and evaluated with frozen linear probes on ten datasets with 1 to 64 electrodes against seven foundation models run under one protocol, and on two unseen populations. Results. Despite its small size (12.0 M parameters against 69 M for REVE) and single pre- training corpus, NOMAD-EEG outperformed all seven foundation models on EEGMMIDB mo- tor imagery (balanced accuracy 0.442), Siena seizure detection (macro F1 0.622) and Bonn seizure detection (AUROC 0.999), had the highest accuracy of the seven compared models on TUEP epilepsy diagnosis (0.640) and, after fine-tuning, the highest \k{appa} (0.635) and weighted F1 (0.814) on TUEV event classification. It was the best of five models on P300 detection in autism with an unseen eight-electrode montage (AUROC 0.718). With only 5 of 19 electrodes, its mean AUROC fell only from 0.942 to 0.891. Conclusion. Identifying electrodes by position and modelling time without patches let one small model, pre-trained on one corpus, outperform much larger EEG foundation models on seizure detection, epileptiform event classification, epilepsy diagnosis and motor imagery.

VitalAgent: A Tool-Augmented Agent for Reactive and Proactive Physiological Monitoring over Wearable Health Data

Di Zhu, Yu Yvonne Wu, Hong Jia, Aaqib Saeed, Vassilis Kostakos, Ting Dang

原文摘要

Wearable devices provide continuous access to physiological signals such as ECG and PPG, offering a path to answering users' questions about their own physiological state and to early detection of cardiac and physiological abnormalities. Yet existing mobile health (mHealth) systems are largely limited to task-specific prediction pipelines or reactive question answering over static summaries. They lack the temporal reasoning, persistent physiological context, and proactive monitoring required for long-term signal streams. To advance this setting, we introduce VitalBench, a longitudinal physiological monitoring benchmark comprising 1,862 QA pairs for reactive question answering and 90.2 hours of continuous ECG/PPG recordings for proactive monitoring, covering cardiac, physical activity, and stress-related tasks. Building on this resource, we propose VitalAgent, a tool-augmented agentic framework for ECG/PPG-based mHealth that supports both reactive question answering and proactive monitoring. VitalAgent is built on a longitudinal physiological memory and a tool-augmented reasoning interface that enables dynamic computation over raw signals. Experiments demonstrate that VitalAgent achieves over 25 points absolute improvement over prompt-based and agentic baselines in reactive evaluation and enables proactive alert monitoring over long-term physiological signals, pointing toward mHealth systems that can both answer questions about and continuously monitor a person's physiological state beyond the clinic.

Beyond Vision-Language Models: Visual-Semantic Affect Graphs for Emotion Recognition in Artworks

Ngoc-Duy Mai, Ha-Thanh Nguyen, Hideaki Takeda

原文摘要

Emotion recognition in artworks remains challenging because affective meaning is often subjective, implicit, and shaped by relationships between visual form and semantic associations. While vision-language models provide strong multimodal representations, direct image-to-emotion prediction may overlook explicit relations among formal, semantic, and affective cues that support emotional interpretation. This paper proposes Visual-Semantic Affect Graphs (VSAG), a graph-based framework that represents artworks through interpretable feature nodes, including color, brushstroke, composition, light-shadow, line quality, and extracted visual entities. The graph learns feature-emotion associations for dominant emotion prediction, with valence-arousal structure modeled through an optional hierarchical auxiliary affect module. We evaluate VSAG and VSAG-TopK against direct VLM inference using Qwen3-VL and InternVL3.5 on EmoArt-5k. Results show that direct VLMs provide useful but modest baselines, while graph-based models improve dominant emotion prediction. In particular, the hierarchical valence-arousal variant of VSAG achieves the best overall performance, improving accuracy, macro-F1, and weighted-F1 over both direct VLM inference and the emotion-only VSAG baseline. Per-class results indicate that graph-based models and VLMs capture partly complementary signals, while valence-arousal structure is most useful when integrated as a coarse-to-fine affect hierarchy rather than as a simple post-hoc correction. These findings suggest that explicit visual-semantic structure can support both prediction and interpretation in artwork emotion recognition.

Reading Beyond OCR Noise: Robust Cross-Lingual RAG for Legislative Archives

Radha Krishna Deshpande, Ajoy Mondal, Akash Manna, C V Jawahar

原文摘要

India's historical public archives present severe computer vision and document image analysis challenges: decades of parliamentary records survive only as degraded, multi-column scanned pages featuring mixed scripts, complex layouts, and dense visual noise where OCR failure is the primary obstacle to information retrieval. We present an end-to-end framework that couples vision-based layout segmentation and multi-script OCR with an agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline. Our approach specifically addresses how visual degradation and layout fragmentation propagate into text extraction errors, using an iterative agentic loop to navigate around OCR noise and layout ambiguities before generating answers. Evaluated on the 200,000-page Punjab Vidhan Sabha archive, our system demonstrates robust handling of historical document degradation, outperforming standard text-only baselines.

Chart the Invisible: Interactive Perception for Hidden-Target Exploration in GUI Agents

Yongxiang Hu, Ruiyang Liu, Qining He, Xuan Wang, Yangfan Zhou

原文摘要

Despite rapid progress in command-line interface (CLI) tasks, recent LLM-based agents still struggle with reliable task execution through graphical user interfaces (GUIs). A key challenge is the limited content visible within a bounded viewport, especially on mobile devices, where many task-relevant targets remain hidden and can only be revealed through swipe interactions. Therefore, although most GUI agents support swipe as an action primitive, the lack of target visibility makes it difficult for them to decide when, where, and how to swipe to reveal the hidden content. Our quantitative study further shows that GUI agents incorrectly choose a click action in 47.8% of cases that require swipe exploration. To bridge this gap, this paper proposes equipping GUI agents with scrollable-region perception to support hidden-area exploration before action selection. To this end, we trained the first multimodal model for scrollable-region perception on a manually collected dataset of 667 UI screens, called Hagasu. By correctly identifying 78.5% of scrollable regions, experiments across nine GUI agents show that integrating Hagasu improves the mean end-to-end completion rate from 64.8% to 82.7% on explore-dependent tasks. To facilitate follow-up research, we release the swipe dataset and the source code of Hagasu.

Beyond Trajectory Statistics: Community-Consistent Human Mobility Generation via Evolving User-Location Graphs

Bo Liu, Tong Li, Jiapeng Zhang, Zhu Xiao, Zhuo Tang, Kenli Li

原文摘要

Human mobility data are fundamental to Web-based location services and broader urban applications, and mobility generation provides synthetic trajectories when real data are costly or inaccessible. Although recent mobility generators have incorporated collective mobility patterns, they primarily focus on individual trajectories and aggregate population dynamics, leaving evolving community structures formed by user-location interactions insufficiently modeled. In this paper, we study community-consistent human mobility generation. To this end, we formulate mobility generation as the generation of dynamic user-location graphs to model community structures and propose MOTION, a Multi-agent framework for cOmmuniTy-consIstent human mObility geNeration. MOTION consists of user agents, location agents, and a global manager agent. MOTION first detects coherent communities from historical mobility using the Leiden algorithm and extracts community-conditioned interaction priors to guide the generation process. Guided by these priors, the user agents plan mobility, search destination candidates, and infer user movements from the individual view. In parallel, selectively activated location agents infer likely user arrivals from the community view. The manager coordinates both views, diagnoses interactions causing deviations, and attributes targeted reflection signals to revise user decisions, location attraction, and source-user selection. Experiments on two real-world datasets show that MOTION outperforms baselines by at least 4.05% across reported metrics of individual trajectories, population and flow distributions, and community and graph structures. Further analyses confirm its robustness, privacy preservation, and downstream utility. The code is available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/MOTION-04C4.

Thermal-Headroom Routing for Efficient Robot Perception in Extreme Heat

Sparsh Roy, Kevin Zhou, Arhaan Shah, Shreyan Garg, Vihaan Joshi-Apte, Maxim Kudryashov, Nanda Cheruvanthala

原文摘要

Adaptive robot perception systems must balance detector accuracy, inference latency, and energy consumption, particularly when high ambient temperatures cause processors to thermally throttle. We propose Thermal-Headroom Routing (THR), a lightweight model-selection policy that forecasts processor temperature using a closed-form RC thermal model and excludes detector configurations predicted to cross a throttling threshold. We evaluate THR with four YOLO11 configurations across seven real-world perception traces, eight ambient temperatures, and 20 randomized seeds, comparing it with latency-aware routing, fixed-threshold thermostats, duty caps, and a matched-compute-budget control. At ambient temperatures of 45-55 degrees C and a tight inference deadline, THR eliminates throttling in simulation, reduces deadline misses by 3.9-7.5 percentage points, and reduces energy per on-time frame by approximately 12-13% relative to a latency-belief router. A separate experiment using deadline-paced, nonoverlapping frame execution yields miss-rate reductions of 6.2-9.5 percentage points. A tuned thermostat or duty cap can match THR at a fixed operating point; predictive routing is most useful when ambient conditions or calibrated thermal parameters differ from those used to tune static policies. Measurements on an Apple M5 support the single-node heating approximation but do not validate hardware throttling. The results characterize the conditions under which thermal forecasting improves the efficiency and timeliness of resource-constrained robot perception.

Context Is Not Free: Carbon-Aware LLM Routing for Multi-Turn LLM Web Services across Geo-Distributed Data Centers

Xiaoyang Zhang, Yuejun Yan, Qingang Zhang, Yonggang Wen

原文摘要

The sustainability of the Web has drawn growing attention, as large language model (LLM)-based web services leave a substantial carbon footprint. These services typically run in geo-distributed data centers whose grid carbon intensity varies across regions and over time, so routing each query to a cleaner region or a smaller model can reduce emissions. A conversation, however, is a stateful web session: each turn reuses the key--value (KV) cache of its history, which resides only where earlier turns were served. Serving a turn on another deployment requires recomputing this history, whose carbon cost grows with the conversation and can outweigh the saving of the move. Existing carbon-aware LLM routers treat a conversation's queries as independent and ignore this cost. We present CarbonRouter, an online framework that jointly selects the model, GPU type, and region for each query to minimize carbon emissions. CarbonRouter introduces a cache-aware carbon cost model, which charges history recomputation to every candidate deployment using cached-token counts from the serving backends, and uses a lightweight gate that keeps a session on its cached deployment when it would likely move back at the next turn and rebuild its history again. We evaluate CarbonRouter in trace-driven experiments on two real-world conversation datasets with five LLMs, three GPU types, and four regions, where it achieves the lowest carbon of all policies. CarbonRouter reduces CO$_2$ by 16.1\% on average relative to FairCarbon, a state-of-the-art carbon-aware router with the same action space, while also improving predicted answer quality and estimated latency. Moreover, the saving rises further to 23.1\% for sessions longer than 30 turns.
