Trajectory Forcing: Exploiting Diffusion Trajectories for Autoregressive Long Video Generation

Bohan Wang, Shuo Chen, Yunzhi Li, Zhaozheng Chen, Junzhe Zhang, Hanwang Zhang

原文摘要

Autoregressive (AR) modeling is arguably the only way to extend a fixed-length video diffusion model to longer or even streaming videos. However, existing AR diffusion methods use only the previously predicted chunk as context for the next, discarding the intermediate predictions that constitute the chunk's generation history. In contrast, conventional AR models such as LLMs condition on the entire history of preceding tokens. To this end, we propose Trajectory Forcing (TraF), an AR diffusion method that exploits the denoising trajectories of previous video chunks as context. TraF operates under two training regimes: (1) with ground-truth videos, where pseudo-trajectories are constructed from Gaussian interpolations and re-predicted by the model, and (2) with a teacher model, where real trajectories are obtained from the student's own denoising rollout. The first regime naturally provides a strong initialization for the second. On the 5-second VBench benchmark, TraF achieves a Total score of 85.15, outperforming Self Forcing (+0.84) and Causal Forcing (+1.11), with Quality and Semantic improving simultaneously. On 30-second generation---6$\times$ the training horizon---TraF achieves the highest overall quality among all compared methods.

Dynamic Merging Mutually-Distilled Multi-View Networks for RGB-Event-based Representation Learning

Futian Wang, Fan Zhang, Xiao Wang, Yuhe Ding, Shiao Wang, Jingxi Huang, Jin Tang

原文摘要

Multi-modal fusion algorithms combining conventional frame-based cameras and event cameras have recently attracted substantial research attention. Typically, existing approaches convert event streams into frames, voxels, or tensors, and then learn the required spatiotemporal information from these transformed event representations for fusion with conventional frame-camera data. Obviously, such paradigms only exploit the limited representational capacity of event data. Moreover, standard training pipelines fail to fully leverage diverse model parameters obtained throughout the learning process. In this paper, we propose a novel mutual distillation method leveraging multi-view teacher network weights to better integrate multiple event representations and achieve model-parameter level fusion. Specifically, we employ multiple encoders to extract different types of event representations and perform mutual knowledge distillation at both the feature-level and logit-level in this process. Afterwards, we perform a dynamic hierarchical model merge strategy on the model parameters from the first stage to yield a unified multi-modal RGB-Event representation model. Experimental results across multiple event-based datasets demonstrate that our proposed framework achieves significant performance improvements.

When A Beats B Needs Evidence: CLAIMSTAB-QC for Auditing Comparative Claims in Quantum Software

Boshuai Ye, Peng Liang, Maryam Tavassoli Sabzevari, Arif Ali Khan

原文摘要

Empirical quantum-software papers often claim that one compiler produces smaller circuits, one optimizer is more reliable, or one ansatz achieves better solution quality. Such comparisons depend on benchmark scope, circuit construction, compilation, sampling, backends, noise models, optimizer choices, and resource budgets. Existing testing, benchmarking, and reproducibility methods help assess programs and experiments but do not directly audit whether the reported comparison is supported by the evidence available in the paper and artifact. We present CLAIMSTAB-QC, a source-bounded framework that records baselines, metric, relation, and admissible evidence; locks the audit design before outcomes are computed; and reports a scoped relation outcome or an explicit evidence boundary. Strict scalar-directional comparisons are classified as Sustained, Unresolved, or Not preserved within the locked audit scope. We examine 455 comparative claims from 119 quantum-software papers. A materialization gap emerges: 175 claims can be represented for audit planning, 79 become scalar-directional planning records, and 53 yield lockable audit or diagnostic designs, but only 8 expose enough matched evidence to audit the original comparison without proxy reconstruction. Among these 8, 2 are Sustained, 4 Unresolved, and 2 Not preserved. Controlled diagnostics over 24 benchmark-relevant quantum-workload comparisons further show that simpler checks can preserve apparent directions despite weaker support under locked designs. These results indicate that performance orderings should be reported with matched evidence sufficient to audit their stated scope.

AlienBench: A Benchmark of Structural Novelty in Language Model Outputs

Jonas Oppenlaender, Johanna M. Silvennoinen

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for creative tasks such as writing, design, and idea generation. For these uses, it matters whether a model's ideas depart from familiar examples or stay close to them. Novelty is one standard measure of creativity, and current creativity evaluations ask human experts or LLM judges to rate how novel an output is. However, these ratings have no fixed reference for what counts as novel (or, in other terms, departure from the familiar). Measuring this departure requires a task with known familiar defaults. The structured imagination task from cognitive psychology is such a task. In this creativity test, people imagine a creature from another planet. The departure from features of Earth animals, such as bilateral symmetry and legs as mode of locomotion, is used as measure of creativity. We introduce AlienBench, a benchmark that adapts the structured imagination task to language models. Models describe alien creatures, and a panel of three LLM judges extracts ten biological features from the description and labels them as either Earth-typical or a departure. The sum of feature departures is the score of a description, from 0 to 10. Each model describes alien creatures under six prompt conditions that vary the framing of the task and the planetary environment. Each model generates 30 descriptions per condition (180 in total), and its overall score is the mean across these descriptions. We evaluate 10 language models, from frontier to open-weight models. Overall scores range from 3.28 (GPT-6 Luna) to 6.55 (Ministral 3 14B). Interestingly, open-weight models score higher than proprietary models in this task (5.40 vs. 4.58). Under the baseline prompt, the models depart from Earth defaults more often on average than 100 human participants on every feature. We release all prompts, generations, judge outputs, and scores.

Two-Layer Evolutionary Scheduling for Machine Learning Jobs in Multi-Cluster Environments

Jingyuan Xu, Changwu Huang, Lemeng Pan, Ke Tang, Xin Yao

原文摘要

The rapid growth of large-scale machine learning (ML) workloads has led to unprecedented demands on GPU cluster scheduling systems. However, existing heuristic schedulers struggle to handle the complexity and dynamics of multi-cluster GPU environments, often leading to load imbalance, long queuing delays, and poor alignment to business objectives. This paper formulates the ML scheduling problem in multi-cluster GPU environments as online multi-objective optimization that minimizes the average and maximum weighted queuing times while maximizing GPU time utilization. To solve this optimization problem, we propose EVO-GP, a two-layer evolutionary online scheduling method that decouples global job-to-cluster allocation from intra-cluster GPU resource allocation. At the job-to-cluster allocation layer, an evolutionary algorithm assigns arriving jobs to feasible clusters to promote load balance across clusters. At the resource allocation layer, a priority function automatically learned offline via genetic programming is used to rank jobs and guide GPU allocation within each cluster. Extensive experiments on both real-world data and simulated workloads demonstrate that the proposed EVO-GP method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, while maintaining superior adaptability and scalability.

AdaAlloc: Adaptive Visual Token Allocation for Long-Video Question Answering

Joungbin An, Kristen Grauman

原文摘要

Long-video question answering forces multimodal large language models to reason under strict visual-token budgets, creating a tradeoff between broad temporal coverage and fine-grained spatial detail. Uniform sampling preserves coverage but often obscures decisive local cues, while caption-based or frame-similarity retrieval operates over lossy proxies that can miss motion, state changes, and before-after relations. We recast long-video reasoning as a visual-token allocation problem: given a fixed budget, decide how much to spend on global context versus high-resolution local evidence, and where in the video to draw that local evidence from. We introduce AdaAlloc, a training-free inference framework that adaptively allocates visual tokens between a global video overview and localized visual detail. AdaAlloc first plans a global/local allocation policy, then uses temporal grounding to locate candidate evidence segments and refines them into a compact temporal memory. The selected policy controls both frame sampling density and resolution, combining sparse, lower-resolution global frames with denser, higher-resolution local frames drawn from the refined memory. The final answerer reasons over the allocated global context and refined local evidence. Across LVBench, MLVU, VideoMME, and LongVideoBench, AdaAlloc improves over budget-matched uniform sampling by up to 10.5 percentage points and outperforms the compared frame-selection and agentic methods on their reported benchmarks.

Training-Free Predictive Spatio-Temporal Token Pruning for Few-Step Autoregressive Video Diffusion

Jia Li, Xurui Peng, Xing Wang, Hayden Kwok-Hay So

原文摘要

Few-step autoregressive (AR) video diffusion models generate videos chunk by chunk and have made efficient video generation practical. However, further accelerating these models toward real-time generation remains challenging, as few-step distillation leaves little cross-step redundancy for existing training-free caching methods to exploit. We revisit this regime and identify two token-level redundancy patterns: cross-frame redundancy from static content shared across adjacent frames, and cross-step redundancy from tokens that converge early during denoising. Crucially, we find that early clean estimates along the model's own denoising trajectory provide an effective online signal for locating both patterns, requiring no retraining, auxiliary predictor, or reference video. Based on these findings, we propose PreSTP (Predictive Spatio-Temporal Token Pruning), a training-free framework that constructs a unified token-wise redundancy mask from cross-frame similarity and cross-step convergence. Tokens marked as redundant skip subsequent computation under a consistent last-computed-value restoration rule, and a content-adaptive mask reuse strategy further reduces dense probing cost. On 5-second generation, PreSTP achieves 1.52x-3.20x speedups and a better efficiency-fidelity trade-off than coarse-grained caching baselines such as TeaCache and FlowCache. On 30-second generation, it reaches up to 1.96x speedup while improving VBench-Long and suppressing long-horizon drift. Notably, it continues to reduce inference cost even in the extreme one-step regime, where cross-step redundancy vanishes entirely and coarse step-wise caching is no longer applicable.

TUGB: A Two-stage Uncertainty-aware Generative Auto-Bidding Framework

Luzhan Yuan, Chao Mi, Xiahao Shi, Yi Mao, Shengsheng Niu, Xin Zhu, Jie He, Zhangang Lin 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Generative modeling, particularly Decision Transformers, shows promise in auto-bidding strategies. However, it struggles with limited exploration in static offline datasets, vulnerability to dynamic environmental shifts, and a reliance on heuristic return-to-go (RTG) specifications that may yield suboptimal performance on unseen traffic. To address these challenges, we propose the Two-stage Uncertainty-aware Generative Auto-Bidding (TUGB) framework. TUGB integrates generative sequence modeling with Reinforcement Learning (RL). It employs a two-stage pipeline where a pre-trained Generative Bidding Model is fine-tuned via an ensemble-based Uncertainty-aware Environment Model. This approach quantifies epistemic uncertainty to penalize high-risk trajectories and evolves the policy from RTG-conditioning to direct bidding optimization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TUGB significantly outperforms SOTA baselines. Notably, full-scale deployment on JD Search Ad achieved a 2.32\% increase in cost and 3.57\% in target cost, validating its industrial efficacy, while its successful adaptation to subsequent mechanism upgrades and JD Food Delivery Ad further validates TUGB's superior generalization capability.

MARS: Training Multilingual Search Agents for Retriever-Free Evidence Acquisition

Rui Qi, Yunlong Liang, Yufeng Chen, Jinan Xu, Fandong Meng, Kaiyu Huang

原文摘要

Existing multilingual retrieval-augmented generation relies heavily on learned retrievers and similarity-based ranking from multilingual collections, which are vulnerable to cross-lingual retrieval errors and indexing overhead. In this paper, we explore retriever-free multilingual search, where the model directly interacts with raw corpora through executable shell commands. This paradigm shifts the bottleneck to multilingual search action generation, where exact search is sensitive to entity surface forms and outcome-only supervision provides limited guidance for multi-turn search. To address these challenges, we propose MARS, a multilingual search agent in direct corpus interaction (DCI) with reinforcement learning (RL). MARS introduces corpus-native entity grounding to recover reliable lexical anchors from corpus evidence, mitigating failure to retrieve evidence. Meanwhile, we present a redundancy-aware search reward to encourage concise and effective search trajectories, addressing training collapse in RL of multilingual scenarios. Experiments show that \ours~consistently outperforms strong retrieval-based and DCI baselines, while demonstrating robust cross-lingual generalization and substantially reducing redundant corpus interactions.

EventHOI: Event-Driven Resource-Efficient Hand-Object Interaction Logging on Smartglasses

Le Zhang, Kailai Cui, Hao Chen, Vlad Roznyatovskiy, Jianzhong Zhang, Anhong Guo, Kang G. Shin, Ke Sun

原文摘要

Hand-object interactions (HOIs) can be captured by smartglasses to learn how people manipulate objects in daily life. Automatic logging of these interactions from an egocentric perspective provides time-stamped evidence of daily actions for applications like memory assistance. However, continuous RGB capture and wireless transmission exceed the energy and bandwidth budgets of smartglasses. We present EventHOI, an event-driven sensing and compression system that couples selective RGB capture with HOI-aware encoding to enable egocentric logging over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) while preserving downstream HOI logging performance. Our key insight is to use low-power event sensing both to determine when RGB capture is needed and to identify where visual detail must be preserved. A lightweight IMU-based egomotion cancellation pipeline suppresses egomotion-induced events so that residual HOI motion can guide RGB triggering and spatial compression. We build a smartglasses prototype and conduct an end-to-end evaluation of EventHOI on a 50-hour egocentric benchmark with 97 subjects and a 20-hour real-world dataset we collect from 10 participants, together covering a broad range of daily-life scenarios and environments. Compared to RGB-only baselines, EventHOI reduces always-on backend power consumption by 5.8-10.4x and uplink bandwidth by 2.9x, with minimal HOI recognition accuracy loss. The resulting RGB uplink of less than 130 kbps fits within commodity BLE bandwidth budgets, making stable BLE video streaming feasible for egocentric HOI logging.

Maswao: An automatically collected, prepared, and benchmarked dataset for South African Sign Language

Thapelo Sindane, Unarine Netshifhefhe, Vukosi Marivate, Abiodun Modupe, Herkulaas Combrink, Ketro Sithole

原文摘要

Recent advancements in sign language processing can be attributed to developments in both large-scale dataset collection and algorithmic complexity in areas such as pose estimation techniques, signal processing through Transformer models, and model optimization. However, only a handful of sign languages, such as the American, British, and German, from over 200 globally recognized sign languages, reap the benefits of such advancements, while the rest lag behind. In this study, we aim to address this technological disparity by proposing a framework for the automatic collection and preparation of sign language datasets, with very minimal human-labour intervention, using the South African Sign Language (SASL) as a testbed. Specifically, we automatically collect SASL video content using public resources such as news broadcasts. Additionally, we convert their accompanying audio streams into text using available Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) tools. Furthermore, we crop the sign language area in the videos and use gradient descent to locate valleys of non-motion to determine end-of-sentence points within long videos to create our weakly sentence-aligned parallel corpora -- the Maswao (Signs) dataset. Finally, we benchmark the weakly aligned dataset on the task of Sign-to-text Translation using Recurrent Neural Networks and Transformer models to compare their individual intricacies. Our results show that Transformer models proposed in the literature outperform recurrent baselines, with the best-performing Transformer achieving BLEU-1 to BLEU-4 scores of 13.78, 5.21, 2.52, and 1.54, respectively, as well as ChrF = 18.09 and ROUGE-L = 10.51. These results indicate that the task remains promising and warrants further investigations.

The Invisible Gap: Romanized Indic Generation Fails Where Automatic Metrics Succeed

Madhu Sudhan Rao Beesetty, Surbhi Sharma, Devesh Maheshwari, Lokesh Meesala

原文摘要

Hundreds of millions of Indians communicate with digital systems in romanized Latin characters -- typing "aap kaise hain" rather than native script -- yet romanized Indic generation is absent from NLP benchmarks and evaluation frameworks. We demonstrate that automatic metrics (BGE-M3, BERTScore) systematically misrepresent the quality of romanized Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada generation. We evaluate four LLMs (Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.5, Gemini 2.5-flash, Qwen3.5-35B) on 142 OpenAssistant query-response pairs. On a 72-response diagnostic subset, native speakers rate GPT-5.5 1.43 points higher than Claude Opus 4.8 on a 12-point rubric, whereas their full-dataset BGE-M3 means differ by only 0.004. Two distinct model-specific failure modes emerge: Gemini produces script spillage (16.9% of Telugu responses leak native script), while Qwen collapses to English-only output (16.2% of Kannada responses). We introduce a failure-aware evaluation policy that assigns zero to empty outputs, script-corrupted responses, and instruction collapses -- revealing failures metrics alone cannot detect. Our results show that evaluating romanized Indic generation requires a coordinated bundle: semantic similarity, script compliance, failure coverage, and native-speaker acceptability.

Training-Free Active Test-Time Adaptation for Vision-Language Models

Jihwan Bang, Sumyeong Ahn, Hwanjun Song, Jae-Gil Lee

原文摘要

Test-time adaptation (TTA) for vision-language models (VLMs) is usually studied in a fully unsupervised regime, where adaptation relies on pseudo-labels, confidence scores, or entropy computed by the model itself. This is a severe restriction on hard shifted samples: the model is asked to repair its own uncertain predictions without any external evidence. At the other extreme, supervised online adaptation assumes labels can directly train or correct the model. We study the intermediate deployment regime between these two extremes. In Active Test-time Adaptation for VLMs (Active VLM-TTA), a pretrained VLM may spend an explicit labeling budget on selected test samples, but the prediction for the current sample must be emitted before its label can be used; queried labels are therefore costed, delayed evidence for future samples rather than free correction for the present one. Under this future-only constraint, the central question is how to reuse sparse labels conservatively. We instantiate this setting with ACTive VLM-TTA for Online Retrieval (ACTOR), a training-free plug-in module that routes uncertain samples among base prediction, label query, and memory-based correction using a consistency-and-reliability check over previously queried labels. Across ten cross-domain benchmarks and a domain-transfer benchmark based on ImageNet, ACTOR consistently improves strong VLM-TTA baselines on ResNet and ViT backbones with negligible inference overhead. Our implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/kaist-dmlab/ACTOR.

BrainCoT: A Multi-Task Zero-Shot Brain Signal Foundation Model with Neurometric-Anchored Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

Yiyu Gui, Mingzhi Chen, Guibo Luo, Yuchao Yang

原文摘要

Brain signals exhibit substantial multi-center heterogeneity, strong inter-subject variability, and highly diverse task settings, which makes it difficult to build models that generalize beyond a single task. While recent brain signal foundation models leverage large-scale pretraining to learn generalizable representations, they often fall short in practice because they still require target-data-specific supervised adaptation, lack multi-task zero-shot capability, and rarely provide verifiable evidence to support their predictions. In this work, we present BrainCoT, a multi-task zero-shot Brain signal foundation model with neurometric-anchored Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning. BrainCoT unifies heterogeneous tasks into an instruction-driven framework so that, after pretraining, a single model can be directly applied to multiple tasks in zero-shot settings without additional adaptation. It further introduces neurometric-anchored chain-of-thought grounded in neurometric evidence for verifiable reasoning, and adopts Decision-Consistent Rationale Training to keep process learning aligned with correct predictions. Across extensive evaluations, BrainCoT achieves an average ACC of 67.41% and AUC of 74.33% in zero-shot classification without downstream training data, outperforming the strongest linear-probing baseline trained with 1% labeled downstream data by 3.85% in ACC and 5.97% in AUC.

FaCoDiff: Factor-Correlated Diffusion for Multivariate Probabilistic Forecasting

Jiaxuan Li, Yao Liu, Tingting Dai, Yuewei Xue, Shijie Dong, Zixiang Jin, Xiaoyu Guo, Qiao Liu

原文摘要

Multivariate probabilistic forecasting requires modeling cross-variable dependence alongside marginal uncertainty. The challenge is to learn this dependence while controlling marginal noise scales and avoiding dense covariance costs. We propose Factor-Correlated Diffusion (FaCoDiff), which couples a compact conditional statistical estimator with structured denoising. History-conditioned factor loadings use distinct coefficients for forecast-center correction, scale adjustment and noise dependence. Diagonal compensation preserves the estimated marginal noise variances, while low-rank operators enable residual Gaussian likelihood evaluation and noise transport without dense covariance storage or factorization. Factor-derived feature modulation explicitly conditions the denoiser, and a geometry-aware objective accounts for errors after noise transport. The same conditional geometry governs forward perturbations and reverse sampling. Across nine datasets, FaCoDiff achieves the lowest mean variogram score on eight datasets and ranks among the top two on 43 of 54 dataset-metric combinations in the reported comparisons. Matched ablations on Solar and Weather show that factor covariance improves mean Energy and Variogram scores under all four combinations of center and scale correction. Disrupting cross-variable sample pairings while preserving marginal trajectories worsens joint and aggregate scores on both datasets, demonstrating the predictive value of generated cross-variable dependence.

GenScale: A Benchmark for Relative Object Scale in Image Generation and Editing

Lingxiao Li, Max Whitton, Ledell Wu, Boqing Gong

原文摘要

Modern image generation and editing systems can produce photorealistic, prompt-aligned images, but still often render familiar objects at implausible relative sizes. To measure this failure mode, we introduce GenScale, a benchmark and evaluation protocol for real-world relative object scale in image generation and editing. GenScale contains 900 image-level entries and 1,643 pairwise anchor-target scale relations across common-object generation, human-product generation with metric dimensions, and scale correction from failed generations. We further design a human-calibrated ordinal judge for scalable pairwise scale evaluation. Last but not least, we introduce Rescale, a model-agnostic post-processing agent for localized scale correction without modifying the source generator. Experiments reveal that state-of-the-art image generators and editors do not reliably render plausible relative scale, while Rescale consistently improves scale plausibility across generated and edited images. Together, GenScale establishes relative object scale as a distinct, measurable, and actionable capability for image generation systems.

AuthGateBench: Benchmarking LLMs as Authorization Gate

Zhixiong Zhuang, Jin Jia, Zhiwei Shang, Ziyu Wang

原文摘要

Automated approval systems let coding agents execute high-risk actions with minimal human oversight by delegating the authorization decision to a classifier, typically a large language model (LLM). Such systems, adopted in tools like Claude Code and Codex, remain vulnerable to failure modes such as scope escalation, where the agent takes actions exceeding what the user authorized. Existing benchmarks focus mainly on malicious requests, evaluating refusal under an implicit policy. We introduce AuthGateBench, the first policy-guided benchmark for authorization gating under benign requests. We implement a novel pipeline where an LLM generates contrast pairs with identical action and trajectory but differing request, flipping the label between block and allow. This allows us to assess whether models reason over context rather than the action alone. We further examine whether auxiliary environment signals can help models make better decisions. The resulting benchmark comprises 1,400 instances spanning five failure modes drawn from real-world Claude Code incidents. Evaluations show accuracy degrades unevenly across failure modes as models over-rely on internal safety alignment, and models still block most actions even when explicitly authorized, revealing unstable rather than deterministic decisions; retrospectively retrieved environment signals, however, substantially improve authorization accuracy.

PriorityFEC: Deadline-Aware Streaming FEC for KV-Cache Handoff in Edge Multi-Agent Systems

Han Shen, Qifu Tyler Sun, Fanyang Meng, Ye Wang, Yongsheng Liang

原文摘要

Collaborative edge large language model (LLM) systems often require repeated prefill computation when task contexts are transferred between agents. Reusing previously computed key--value (KV) caches can eliminate this overhead, but requires KV-cache delivery before the receiving agent begins decoding. Under strict deadlines and unreliable edge links, complete KV cache transfer may be infeasible, making the timely delivery of useful KV information critical. This paper proposes PriorityFEC, a utility-aware KV-cache handoff scheme that combines prioritized source transmission with adaptive loss recovery. PriorityFEC first organizes KV blocks into a utility-aware source queue to prioritize important information. It then employs ACK-sliding Streaming FEC and a lightweight Double Deep Q-Network (Double-DQN) scheduler to dynamically balance source delivery and repair transmission under deadline constraints. We implement PriorityFEC in a distributed edge LLM-serving prototype and evaluate it using Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct and Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct across multiple workloads. Experimental results demonstrate that PriorityFEC preserves more useful KV information and achieves substantially higher task accuracy than competing transport schemes, particularly when the deadline is insufficient to deliver the complete KV cache.

GlobalPuzzle: Globally Informed Genetic Search for Eroded Jigsaw Puzzle Reassembly

Lunyan Wang, Chuanzhi Xu, Ziyuan Tao, Weidong Cai

原文摘要

Jigsaw puzzle reassembly remains a highly challenging task, particularly when piece boundaries are irregularly eroded to simulate damage to cultural artifacts. On the GAP benchmark, existing methods achieve a perfect assembly accuracy of only 0.3% on $5 \times 5$ puzzles, whereas humans can solve jigsaw puzzles with remarkably high accuracy. Humans typically approach puzzle solving by identifying potentially adjacent pieces, evaluating the current assembly, and iteratively performing complex operations such as adding pieces, replacing incorrectly placed pieces, and moving entire connected groups of pieces. However, existing methods face a fundamental limitation: approaches that leverage global visual information typically predict piece arrangements directly, making it difficult to explicitly perform such complex iterative operations, while search based methods can rearrange pieces but primarily rely on pairwise boundary compatibility, lacking global visual information to evaluate and guide the search process. To bridge this gap, we propose GlobalPuzzle, a jigsaw puzzle reassembly framework that integrates global canvas level evaluation, action guidance, and genetic search. By incorporating global visual information into the evaluation and optimization of candidate assemblies, GlobalPuzzle aims to resolve ambiguous adjacency relationships that are difficult to determine from irregularly eroded piece boundaries alone, enabling flexible, globally informed reconstruction.

Emo-LiveSync: Real-Time Universal Lip Synchronization with Explicit Emotion Control

Sangjoon Yu, Seungeun Lee, JoonHeyok Shin, Ji-Su Kang

原文摘要

Lip synchronization, the task of generating realistic lip movements synchronized with audio signals, is fundamental to applications such as film dubbing, virtual avatars, and digital content creation. Recent GAN-based methods offer computational efficiency but often lack visual fidelity, while diffusion-based approaches achieve high-quality results at the cost of substantial computational overhead. Moreover, most existing methods are limited to photo-realistic human faces, restricting their applicability to stylized characters and non-human entities. In this paper, we propose an efficient universal lip-sync video generation framework that achieves high-quality results without compromising computational efficiency. We build on LivePortrait, a warp-based portrait animation model, and introduce a training strategy that aligns audio signals to an implicit motion space by distilling knowledge from a pre-trained video-to-motion model. This enables real-time inference while maintaining high visual fidelity, and naturally generalizes to diverse stylistic characters beyond photo-realistic humans. Furthermore, we introduce an expressive control gate that enables explicit manipulation of emotional expressions for content enrichment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in both visual quality and lip-sync accuracy while ensuring real-time inference.

False Belief Dissemination, Persistence and Mitigation in Multi-Agent Social Networks Through the Lens of the Mandela Effect

Dianzhi Yu, Hongru Wang, Ziheng Xiong, Yanyu Chen, Zixing Song, Jianting Chen, Zhenfei Yin, Jeff Z. Pan 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Multi-agent social networks are emerging as communities in which agents communicate, retain memories, and publish information that others can find as evidence. These interactions create opportunities for false claims to spread and remain influential beyond their original sources, analogous to the Mandela effect in human societies, in which many people recall the same false memory. In this paper, we systematically study false-belief dynamics through the lens of the Mandela effect, focusing on dissemination, persistence, and mitigation. Specifically, we build a controlled framework connecting agent communication, private memory, and a shared simulated web to mimic information dissemination in practical social networks, supported by 540 fabricated claims spanning 8 domains and 4 plausibility levels. For dissemination, we measure how widely and quickly claims gain acceptance across models and communication topologies. For persistence, we withdraw agents promoting fabricated claims while retaining existing articles and memories, and track subsequent acceptance. For mitigation, we compare preventive measures applied before implantation with corrective interventions introduced after claims have spread. Experimental results show that evaluated models readily accept and disseminate fabricated claims, with dissemination reach as high as 96.0%. Dissemination reach varies with claim plausibility, domain, and network size and composition, while communication topology shapes dissemination speed across model families. Acceptance barely declines after fabricators withdraw, and targeted corrective interventions outperform the preventive measures without eliminating false beliefs. These findings identify persistent false beliefs as a safety challenge for multi-agent social networks and highlight the need to address both their initial dissemination and the accumulated evidence that sustains them.

Human-AI Collaboration in Large Language Model-Integrated Building Energy Management Systems: The Role of User Domain Knowledge and AI Literacy

This study aimed to comprehend how user domain knowledge and artificial intelligence (AI) literacy impact the effective use of human-AI interactive building energy management system (BEMS). While prior studies have investigated the potential of integrating large language models (LLMs) into BEMS or building energy modeling, very few studies have examined how user interact with such systems. We conducted a systematic role-playing experiment, where 85 human subjects interacted with an advanced generative pre-trained transformer (OpenAI GPT-4o). Participants were tasked with identifying the top five behavioral changes that could reduce home energy use with the GPT model that functioned as an LLM-integrated BEMS. Then, the collected prompt-response data and participant conclusions were analyzed using an analytical framework that hierarchically assessed and scored human-AI interactions and their home energy analysis approaches. Also, participants were classified into four groups based on their self-evaluated domain knowledge of building energy use and AI literacy, and Kruskal-Wallis H tests with post-hoc pairwise comparisons were conducted across 20 quantifiable metrics. Key takeaways include: most participants employed concise prompts (median: 16.2 words) and relied heavily on GPT's analytical capabilities; and notably, only 1 of 20 metrics, appliance identification rate, showed statistically significant group differences (p=0.037), driven by AI literacy rather than domain knowledge, suggesting an equalizing effect of LLMs across expertise levels. This study provides foundational insights into human-AI collaboration dynamics and promising development directions in the context of LLM-integrated BEMS and contributes to realizing human-centric LLM-integrated energy systems.

Embedded Arena: Iterative Optimization via Hardware Feedback

Zhihan Zhang, Alexander Le Metzger, Jiuyang Lyu, Chun-Cheng Chang, Jiayi Shao, Yujia Liu, Emmanuel Azuh Mensah, Edward Wang 等 13 位作者

原文摘要

As AI moves into the physical world, from robots to environmental sensors to medical wearables, it increasingly relies on local inference to meet latency, communication, or privacy constraints. Optimizing models for heterogeneous edge hardware such as microcontrollers (MCUs) requires simultaneously satisfying hard physical constraints on memory, power, and temperature while preserving accuracy, a multidimensional optimization that is today performed manually by experts. We ask whether an LLM agent can autonomously navigate this complex, multi-turn pipeline guided by real hardware feedback, and introduce a hardware-in-the-loop agent arena in which the agent iteratively refines both model and firmware by compiling, flashing, and measuring on real hardware, enabling closed-loop optimization. Frontier models, including Claude Opus 4.7 and Gemini 3.1 Pro, fail entirely without hardware feedback (0% deployment success), whereas our hardware-in-the-loop formulation achieves the first successful deployment within three iterations and can surpass human expert results within seven. This agentic co-optimization achieves 250x compression for vision models with <3.3% accuracy loss and 400x for audio with <6% Feature Error Rate loss, enabling battery-free operation on a commercial MCU via solar harvesting. We demonstrate practical impact in two real-world systems: an elk-detection camera trap (96.7% accuracy) and a phonetic-transcription wearable (8.37% FER) for child development research.

Generator-Aligned Reward Modeling with Target-Aware Bounded Optimization for Visual Generation

Ziqiao Weng, Yuanzhi Liang, Haibin Huang, Weidong Cai, Xuelong Li

原文摘要

Post-training aims to enhance desired attributes in visual generative models while preserving their general generation capabilities. Reward-guided post-training faces two challenges: real training data may mismatch the generator's output distribution, and attribute supervision may be confounded by unrelated content. Unbounded reward maximization can also cause overoptimization and degrade generation quality. We propose a framework combining Generator-Aligned Reward Modeling (GARM) and Target-Aware Bounded Optimization (TABO). GARM mitigates distribution mismatch through generator-support matching and reduces content confounding using content-matched real contrasts, yielding generator-relevant, attribute-focused reward supervision. TABO maps the learned reward to a smooth, upper-bounded function calibrated from real target-positive examples. This transformation is independent of the optimization algorithm and supports both direct reward-gradient and policy-based optimization. We further introduce Target-Aware GRPO (TA-GRPO), an adaptation of Flow-GRPO that combines fixed stage-wise advantage scaling, a generator-to-target curriculum, and timestep-balanced credit assignment for flow-based video optimization. Experiments show that GARM improves target-attribute expression while maintaining competitive generation quality. TABO better balances attribute enhancement and visual quality than unconstrained reward maximization, while TA-GRPO improves target enhancement over vanilla Flow-GRPO and reduces unintended attribute leakage on neutral prompts. These results highlight the importance of generator-aligned reward supervision and controlled, data-calibrated optimization for targeted visual generation.

PixelBench: Can LLMs Understand and Generate Images Pixel by Pixel?

Haoquan Zhang, Feiyang Liu, Juanxi Tian, Wanhua Li, Haodong Duan, Weiyang Liu

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) can generate visual assets through text-based formats such as SVG and CAD, but these symbolic representations describe images using high-level primitives rather than explicit raster values. We ask whether LLMs can instead generate pixel images directly through their existing vocabulary, without a learned image tokenizer or decoder. We introduce PixelBench, a benchmark for text-to-pixel (T2P) and image-to-pixel (I2P) generation across multiple resolutions, together with a complementary pixel-understanding evaluation. Models generate an RGB color palette followed by a grid of indices specifying the palette color of each output pixel. In T2P, the strongest models produce recognizable images directly from text. In I2P, the strongest models outperform palette-matched downsampling and specialized pixelization algorithms at low resolutions. Pixel-understanding performance correlates strongly with generation performance. A resolution-scaling study shows that pixel-generation performance often improves initially before declining at high resolutions. Finally, we introduce Pixel Reconstruction Tuning (PRT), which augments visual instruction tuning with caption-palette-grid trajectories. We post-train Molmo2-4B from its pretraining checkpoint by mixing general instruction data with our curated PRT data, improving performance across 16 visual-centric benchmarks, indicating that explicit pixel reconstruction can provide useful auxiliary supervision.

Multi-bounce Drum Roll with Optimized Active Tricks to Leverage Soft Embodiment

Naoto Yamanaka, Takanori Jin, Taisuke Kobayashi

原文摘要

This paper presents a soft robotic drummer for accurate and efficient drum rolls. High-frequency drum rolls require the "multi-bounce technique," where a drumstick bounces multiple times with a single stroke. In robotic reproduction of this technique, the body's elasticity is key, while the fine motion during the stroke is also crucial for maximizing the potential of that elasticity. Therefore, we design two tricks: i) Tap-Pull (TP) trick to increase the number of rebounds by adding a pulling motion after impact; and ii) Micro-Pulse (MP) trick to keep the drumming volume by injecting small oscillations during the stroke. Due to the nonlinear complexity of soft embodiment, both tricks are efficiently tuned using Bayesian optimization in a data-driven manner for accomplishing the respective objectives quantified. We evaluated the optimized behaviors with soft and rigid end-effectors. As a result, the soft TP achieved the highest bounce count (12.25 per stroke) with uniform intervals. The soft MP suppressed the volume decay, yielding 6.8-times higher acoustic efficiency compared to the rigid MP. These results indicate that the proposed tricks with the combination of elasticity and optimization can make robots play excellent drum rolls.

Preconditioned Flow Matching

Shadab Ahamed, Eshed Gal, Md Shahriar Rahim Siddiqui, Simon Ghyselincks, Moshe Eliasof, Eldad Haber

原文摘要

Flow matching (FM) learns vector fields by regressing stochastic velocity targets along intermediate distributions $p_t$. We identify a geometric optimization bottleneck in this regression problem: when the covariance $Σ_t$ of $p_t$ is ill-conditioned, gradient-based training rapidly fits high-variance directions while making slow progress along low-variance ones. In an exactly solvable Gaussian setting, we prove that the excess risk is weighted by $Σ_t$, and that both gradient descent and stochastic gradient descent inherit condition-number-dependent convergence. We then extend the analysis to Gaussian mixtures, showing that multimodality does not average away this effect; instead, the slowest and worst-conditioned component can control optimization. Motivated by this analysis, we propose $\textit{preconditioned flow matching}$, a precondition-then-match framework that transforms the target distribution into a more isotropic representation, trains the main flow in the transformed space, and maps generated samples back through the inverse transformation. We show theoretically that preconditioning reshapes the intermediate FM path and improves its conditioning. Across controlled Gaussian and Gaussian-mixture experiments, latent MNIST and other high resolution image datasets up to $512{\times}512$ resolution, preconditioning improves path-conditioning diagnostics, low-eigenvalue recovery, FID, MMD, precision, and recall. Compute-matched baselines and preconditioner-quality ablations further show that the gains are not explained merely by additional preconditioner parameters, but by improved geometry of the downstream flow matching problem.

Towards Fully-fledged GPU Multitasking via Proactive Memory Scheduling

Weihang Shen, Yinqiu Chen, Rong Chen, Haibo Chen

原文摘要

Limited HBM capacity has become the primary bottleneck for hosting a growing number of increasingly larger-scale GPU tasks. While demand paging extends capacity via host DRAM, it can incur order-of-magnitude slowdowns due to the massive working sets of GPU workloads. However, we observe that GPU memory accesses are inherently predictable from kernel launch arguments, prior executions, and the asynchronous execution nature. Leveraging this opportunity, we propose MSched, an OS-level scheduler that extends GPU context switching to include proactive working set preparation. This approach coalesces fragmented, eventual, and expensive page faults into a single efficient migration. MSched combines parameterized templates with page fault feedback to accurately predict working sets, and co-designs the task scheduler and memory manager to resolve global access order and enforce near-optimal page replacement. Across scientific, deep learning, and LLM workloads, MSched outperforms demand paging by up to 186.69x and whole-process swapping by up to 8.63x. MSched is open-source and has been integrated into https://github.com/XpuOS/nvxsched.

LLMs as Judges and Examinees for Medical Item Difficulty Prediction

Xiaomeng Xiong, Marcus Walker, Yanlin Jiang

原文摘要

Predicting medical item difficulty from item text alone remains challenging. Prior work has largely relied on linguistic features or text representations derived from general-purpose and domain-specific language models, but predictive performance has remained modest. This study takes a different approach by using difficulty-related signals that emerge when open-weight large language models (LLMs) interact with test items. Using USMLE and PANCE medical licensure examination items, we examined LLMs in two roles. As judges, the models provided absolute difficulty ratings and pairwise difficulty comparisons. As simulated examinees, they generated response-based signals including correctness, keyed-option probability, response entropy, and the probability margin between the top two options. We then combined the strongest judgment and response signals with baseline item features in downstream prediction models. Pairwise difficulty judgment was the most consistent individual LLM signal across both datasets and outperformed absolute ratings, and adding simulated-examinee signals yielded only small further gains. The best configurations reached a Spearman correlation of $ρ$ = .447 on USMLE, exceeding the best system in the 2024 BEA shared task ($ρ$ = .25), and $ρ$ = .494 on PANCE. These results were comparable to direct absolute judgments from the proprietary frontier model Claude Opus 5 ($ρ$ = .443 and .488, respectively). Overall, judgment and response signals from open-weight LLMs captured difficulty-related information beyond text representations. Because these models can be deployed locally, the approach offers a practical option for predicting the difficulty of unreleased or high-security test items.

Does Reasoning Improve Psychological Depth in Large Language Models?

Ruichen Zheng, Yihe Wang, Fabrice Harel-Canada, Sara Khosravi, Zeynep Senahan Yildiz, Amit Sahai, Nanyun Peng

原文摘要

Benchmark gains from reasoning-enhanced large language models encourage the assumption that these models should broadly perform better on complex generative tasks, but this remains underexplored in open-ended, creative domains shaped by nuances of reader experience. We tested this assumption through the lens of psychological depth in short stories. We compared DeepSeek-R1 vs. DeepSeek-V3, our closest available contrast for reasoning-oriented post-training, and GPT-5 vs. GPT-4o, through 60 blinded pairwise evaluations in which seven human annotators and an ensemble LLM-as-a-Judge rated prompt-matched story outputs. Human evaluations showed no universal reasoning advantage: GPT-5 was slightly preferred over GPT-4o (60.0-62.9% across two reasoning-effort settings), whereas DeepSeek-R1 fell behind DeepSeek-V3 (42.9%). Although this pattern was marked by low inter-annotator agreement (Krippendorff's $α= 0.070$), our annotation-quality checks suggested genuine evaluative subjectivity, plausibly reflecting distinct annotator decision schemes rather than annotation failure. In contrast, the LLM-as-a-Judge showed a strong pro-reasoning bias (98.3% of pairs vs. 55.2% of human votes), consistent across its five configurations and partly tracking sentence length. These findings suggest that, at the frontier, reasoning-related quality differences are small enough to be dominated by reader subjectivity, and that LLM-as-a-Judge evaluators can obscure this subjectivity in nuanced creative-generation tasks.
