Generative recommenders predict an item's semantic identifier (SID) one code at a time. Early codes select broad branches, so a routing error can exclude relevant items before fine-grained prediction begins. In multimodal recommendation, these coarse decisions must reflect collaborative preferences as well as item semantics. We introduce RoFiGR, a two-tree recommender that uses collaborative information in both SID construction and generation. It aligns cumulative L1-L2 code vectors with frozen collaborative item embeddings and explicitly encodes item distance and source level in the serialized history. During generation, a sequential teacher supervises legal branches. Fixed coarse-level weights maintain routing supervision, while a bounded adaptive residual allocates additional weight according to teacher-student demand. On Instruments, Arts, and Games, RoFiGR improves all five ranking metrics over the evaluated external baselines. Five-seed paired tests with Holm correction support the main NDCG@10 improvements. Comparisons with alternative collaborative supervision objectives and tokenizers support the proposed design. Matched task and decoding analyses distinguish the effects of training exposure, stream fusion, and candidate budgets.

Understanding how many aircraft, and which traffic configurations, can be safely and efficiently managed by air traffic controllers within a given airspace is fundamental to air traffic management. Air traffic controllers continuously modify aircraft trajectories through interventions such as speed advisories and radar vectoring, and the patterns of these interventions are difficult to capture effectively using existing air traffic simulators. To address this limitation, we propose Diffusion Transformers for Traffic Scene Generation (DiTSG), which learns to generate air traffic scenes from recorded multi-aircraft trajectories. DiTSG employs stacked multi-agent inverted Transformer layers as the denoising backbone of a diffusion transformer, jointly generates the trajectories of multiple aircraft within a traffic scene, and conditions the generation on agent-specific required times of arrival. The resulting trajectories generated by DiTSG preserve realistic inter-aircraft interactions observed in actual air traffic operations. Experiments show that the DiTSG generates diverse traffic scenes that reproduce the statistical properties of recorded traffic while preserving realistic inter-aircraft interactions.
Deep research agents extend the role of search engines from retrieving keyword-matched pages to synthesizing knowledge, fundamentally changing how humans interact with information. However, frontier systems remain proprietary, while existing open agents often generalize poorly across different task types, leaving unclear how to train a broadly capable deep research agent. We release QUEST, a family of open models (ranging from 2B to 35B) that serve as general-purpose deep research agents designed to handle a wide range of long-horizon search tasks, with strong capabilities in fact seeking, citation grounding, and report synthesis. To build QUEST, we propose an effective training recipe combining mid-training, supervised fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning. Central to this recipe is a curated data synthesis pipeline based on unified rubric trees, which applies to different task types and enables synthesizing training data with verifiable rewards without human annotation. In addition, QUEST incorporates a built-in context management mechanism that enables effective long-horizon reasoning and knowledge synthesis. Using only 8K synthesized tasks, QUEST approaches or even surpasses frontier closed-source agents across eight deep research benchmarks spanning diverse task types, and achieves the best overall performance among recent open-weight agents. We released everything: models, data, and training scripts.
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are vulnerable to jailbreak attacks, which can elicit harmful responses from MLLMs. Many MLLMs support multi-image inputs, inadvertently introducing new vulnerabilities due to less efforts on multi-image safety alignment. Previous MLLM jailbreak methods only uses a single image, which restricts the attack space: they cannot distribute harmful requests across multiple images, carry abundant information, or exploit additional visual reasoning tasks to distract MLLMs. To address these limitations, in this paper, we propose a compositional jailbreak framework, \textbf{DMN}, which leverages \textbf{D}istributed instruction, \textbf{M}ultimodal evidence and a \textbf{N}umber chain task to fully enhance the jailbreak performance. Extensive experiments show that DMN is highly effective for MLLM jailbreaking, e.g. achieving attack success rates of over 90% on GPT-4o, Gemini-2.5-pro and Claude Sonnet 4, surpassing other baselines by a large margin. This compositional, multi-image jailbreak strategy reveals fundamental weaknesses in their safety mechanisms.

Deep Research systems based on web agents have shown strong potential in solving complex information-seeking tasks, yet their search efficiency remains underexplored. We observe that many state-of-the-art open-source web agents rely on long tool-call trajectories with cyclic reasoning loops and exploration of unproductive branches. To address this, we propose WebClipper, a framework that compresses web agent trajectories via graph-based pruning. Concretely, we model the agent’s search process as a state graph and cast trajectory optimization as a minimum-necessary Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) mining problem, yielding pruned trajectories that preserve essential reasoning while eliminating redundant steps. Continued training on these refined trajectories enables the agent to evolve toward more efficient search patterns and reduces tool-call rounds by about 20% while improving accuracy. Furthermore, we introduce a new metric called F-AE Score to measure the model’s overall performance in balancing accuracy and efficiency. Experiments demonstrate that WebClipper compresses tool-call rounds under excellent performance, providing practical insight into balancing effectiveness and efficiency in web agent design.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) improves the factual accuracy of large language model (LLM) outputs by grounding generation in external knowledge. Recent agentic RAG systems extend this paradigm by introducing critic agents that evaluate model responses and iteratively refine outputs. However, most prior work implicitly assumes reliable critic feedback and focuses on planning strategies, while paying limited attention to the robustness of the error correction process itself, which is often hindered by misaligned error categories and ineffective or incorrect corrections. We hypothesize that RAG performance can be improved without explicit error categorization. To this end, we propose RePAIR, a response–action learning paradigm that directly maps flawed RAG outputs to error-mitigating action plans without relying on fine-grained error taxonomies or explicit critic supervision. Across multiple benchmarks, RePAIR consistently improves agentic RAG performance.

Automated 3D radiology report generation often suffers from clinical hallucinations and a lack of the iterative verification found in human practice. While recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have advanced the field, they typically operate as monolithic “black-box” systems without the collaborative oversight characteristic of clinical workflows. To address these challenges, we propose MARCH (Multi-Agent Radiology Clinical Hierarchy), a multi-agent framework that emulates the professional hierarchy of radiology departments and assigns specialized roles to distinct agents. MARCH utilizes a Resident Agent for initial drafting with multi-scale CT feature extraction, multiple Fellow Agents for retrieval-augmented revision, and an Attending Agent that orchestrates an iterative, stance-based consensus discourse to resolve diagnostic discrepancies. On the RadGenome-ChestCT dataset, MARCH significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in both clinical fidelity and linguistic accuracy. Our work demonstrates that modeling human-like organizational structures enhances the reliability of AI in high-stakes medical domains.
