Deep learning-based super-resolution (SR) can reconstruct fine-scale Earth-observation fields from coarse observations, but reconstruction accuracy alone does not provide a calibrated rule for identifying reliable spatial regions. Conformal Mask Calibration (CMC), built on conformal risk control, converts a spatial uncertainty score into a trust mask and controls the expected worst-case local distortion under exchangeability. However, its fixed threshold can become miscalibrated in Earth-observation streams affected by seasonality and episodic events. We propose $\textit{CARM}$ (Conformal Adaptive Risk Masking), a statistical framework for adaptive spatial risk control under temporal distribution shift. CARM maintains experts with heterogeneous update rates and aggregates their threshold proposals online using an asymmetric surrogate loss, balancing rapid adaptation to distribution changes against stability during relatively stationary periods. All updates are causal and use only mature feedback available after a fixed delay, allowing CARM to operate with any SR model that provides a spatial uncertainty score. We prove that the time-averaged mask-conditioned risk converges to at most $α$ at an $O(1/T)$ rate, without distributional assumptions and for any choice of aggregation weights across experts. On a daily South China Sea chlorophyll-$\textit{a}$ SR stream, CARM reduces the empirical violation rate from $43.49\%$ to $9.38\%$ and the moving-average exceedance frequency from $47.29\%$ to $1.22\%$ at $α=0.10$, while retaining a non-trivial trusted region. Experiments on ERA5 wind and OSTIA sea-surface temperature further show consistent relative improvements across multiple SR backbones.

Procedural modeling offers compact, editable, and reusable representations for architectural content, but building such models still depends heavily on manually authored grammars. We study image-based procedural building reconstruction from in-the-wild images, with the goal of recovering an executable procedural description that can be instantiated as an editable 3D building asset. Because a single image provides only partial and view-dependent evidence, we focus on recovering the dominant visible facade(s) and attach the recovered facade program to a simple mass model for building-level instantiation. Our method decomposes this task into two structured prediction stages. First, a Global Structure Layout Tree recovers facade-scale split-and-repeat organization through a fine-tuned layout model with render-guided visual-symbolic reflection. Second, a Component Parameterization schema maps representative facade tiles to structured procedural attributes for local architectural component synthesis. These two representations are then deterministically compiled into executable Computer Generated Architecture (CGA) programs, avoiding the brittleness of direct low-level program generation. Experiments show that the proposed framework handles both regular facades and challenging in-the-wild images, while maintaining high structural consistency, procedural executability, and fine-grained architectural detail. The recovered programs further enable controllable and reusable 3D building asset generation.
Large language model agents increasingly take consequential actions in digital and physical environments, where safety risks may emerge only after multiple interaction steps. This has motivated world-model-driven predictive safety guardrails, which anticipate future consequences before execution. However, existing evaluations largely focus on end-to-end safety outcomes, leaving unclear whether safety gains arise from reliable prediction and faithful use of predicted risks. In this work, we systematically diagnose the prediction-to-action pipeline along three dimensions: how world-model predictions are integrated into decision making, whether the predictions themselves are reliable, and whether their content is faithfully used. Across seven policy models and two safety environments, we find that stronger prediction involvement does not yield monotonic safety gains and can reduce task completion while substantially increasing inference cost. We further find that world-model predictions remain insufficiently reliable, especially over longer horizons, where safety prediction degrades substantially relative to near-term forecasting. Finally, we find that safety gains can persist even under corrupted predictions, while locally verified predictions still leave subsequent safety violations, showing that predictive content is not faithfully incorporated into the decision process. Together, these findings expose a fundamental prediction-to-action gap in current predictive guardrails: producing more or seemingly accurate foresight is insufficient unless that foresight is both reliable and faithfully translated into safer decisions.
Open-vocabulary 3D occupancy prediction represents scene geometry and semantics in a unified voxel grid, enabling recognition beyond predefined categories. One approach reconstructs scenes with 3D Gaussians and converts them into voxel occupancy. However, Gaussian scale inflation and excessive overlap can distort voxel occupancy predictions, while semantic mixing can arise within Gaussians spanning multiple categories and during 3D--2D semantic feature alignment. We propose GCSR-OCC, which combines geometry calibration and multi-mode query-conditioned semantic routing for indoor occupancy prediction from a single RGB image. The Evidence-Conserving Gaussian-to-Occupancy operator (EC-G2O) uses kernel mass normalization, $p$-norm aggregation, and a learnable gain to suppress scale inflation and excessive local evidence accumulation while calibrating occupancy responses. Multi-mode Query-First Gaussian Semantic Routing (MM-QGSR) matches multiple semantic modes per Gaussian to text queries and aggregates query-specific evidence into voxels through a learnable text-conditioned router. Fine-grained subclass queries and smoothed semantic aggregation further refine voxel-level predictions. Without 3D semantic annotations, GCSR-OCC achieves state-of-the-art performance in open-vocabulary occupancy prediction on Occ-ScanNet, with 63.31% geometric IoU and 27.44% semantic mIoU. It also reduces geometric aggregation latency from 19.76 ms to 12.88 ms. Our code will be made publicly available.

Literary translation poses unique challenges due to the scarcity of high-quality annotated data and the need to balance expression fluency with literary effect. We present a multi-aspect iterative refinement framework that generates high-quality translation references and preference data through specialized LLM translators, each targeting a distinct quality dimension. We leverage the generated data for supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning. Experiments show that our generated references outperform the original ground truth for SFT by 8.65 CEA100 points. For reinforcement learning, we find that DPO leads to performance degradation in this setting, while leveraging an explicit reward model for GRPO yields an additional 1.51 point improvement. We attribute this to the stability of two-stage training and GRPO’s online exploration capability. Our resulting models, LitMT-8B and LitMT-14B, achieve 67.25 and 69.07 CEA100 respectively on the MetaphorTrans English-to-Chinese literary translation benchmark, competitive with Claude Sonnet 4.5 at 68.43, and demonstrate strong generalization to out-of-domain literary work (i.e., O. Henry).
