TIDE: Token-Level Credit Assignment via Entropy-Gated Bounded Deviation

Qiaoman Zhang, Shunhua Min, Xiang He, Zhenghan Zhang, Yuting Zhang, Guangxian Li, Yunzhu Kuang, Rui Jiang 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Reinforcement learning (RL) is central for aligning large language models (LLMs) with complex reasoning, yet the leading critic-free algorithm, Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), broadcasts a single sequence-level advantage uniformly across long Chain-of-Thought (CoT) generations and constrains exploration with an unbounded Kullback-Leibler (KL) penalty, which dilutes token-level supervision and induces gradient instability and mode-seeking conservatism. We propose TIDE (Token-level Importance via Deviation and Entropy), a critic-free RL framework that reinterprets distribution deviation as a guiding signal rather than a rigid penalty. TIDE replaces the volatile reverse KL divergence with the bounded Hellinger distance, safely quantifying token-level exploration without risk of gradient explosion. To separate genuine reasoning breakthroughs from confident hallucinations, an entropy gating mechanism scales this deviation by the policy's predictive uncertainty, and the gated scores redistribute the sequence-level advantage across tokens. The resulting updates amplify exploratory steps while suppressing low-entropy deviations, without a value network and with negligible overhead. Across in-domain, held-out, and out-of-domain benchmarks, TIDE outperforms strong critic-free baselines: on the Qwen2.5-32B backbone it reaches 60.0% and 46.0% Avg@32 accuracy on AIME 2024 and AIME 2025, respectively, above competitive baselines such as DAPO. Token-level attribution, causal perturbation, and exploration analyses further support the interpretation that the entropy-gated deviation identifies pivotal reasoning steps rather than merely perturbing optimization dynamics.

Persona Following Is Not Selective Control: The Neutrality Gap in LLM User Simulation

Jiashen Ren, Wenlin Zhang, Bohan Zhang, Xiaopeng Li, Zichuan Fu, Wanyu Wang, Junyi Li, Xiangyu Zhao

原文摘要

Persona prompting is widely used in LLM user simulation, yet it relies on an untested assumption: specifying a target user attribute should shift target behavior while leaving other fixed attributes unchanged. Across eight black-box and five open-weight models, however, changing a target attribute alone also shifts unspecified non-target choices, such as risk preference shifting color choice. We test whether explicitly specifying non-target attributes restores selective control across 477 held-out synthetic worlds and 200 independent items under unspecified, directional, and neutral states. Assigning a clear non-target direction nearly eliminates cross-attribute shifts. Explicitly declaring no preference, however, still leaves 37.7%-76.3% of held-out worlds and 51%-81% of independent non-target items shifting with the target attribute while preserving target efficacy. We call this disparity the neutrality gap. Because directional tests can be passed simply by following a stated preference, the neutral state reveals selective-control failures they miss: following a stated persona does not imply keeping unrelated choices invariant. In simulated investment decisions, incidental brochure color labels shift estimated target risk treatment effects by 25.5 percentage points, even when models accurately report having no color preference. Counterfactual attention interventions show that unwanted influence enters primarily at query time, when option evaluation reads the target persona directly. Blocking query-time attention cuts non-target drift by 72.1%-87.8%, whereas directional declarations suppress drift primarily by overwriting option values rather than rerouting attention. Because target and non-target choices share query-time access, blocking it weakens target efficacy while value overwrite imposes an artificial direction, leaving task-dependent selective access as a central challenge.

Do More Modalities Always Help? A Geometric Perspective on Missing-Modality Robustness

Songyuan Sui, Zhen Tan, Mohan Zhang, Rana Muhammad Shahroz Khan, Xia Hu, Tianlong Chen

原文摘要

Missing modality remains a longstanding challenge in multimodal learning. Existing methods typically address this issue through modality recovery or adaptive strategies. However, they overlook models' internal cross-modal dependencies formed during multimodal training, which later impair robustness. We systematically characterize a counterintuitive deployment-time failure mode: models trained on full modalities can underperform unimodal models when one modality is missing at inference time. This pattern appears across diverse architectures, such as fusion models, CLIP-style two-tower models, and vision-language models. We show that such degradation is closely associated with learned cross-modal dependencies in the principal parameter subspaces. Multimodal training induces structured rotations of these subspaces, particularly in cross-modal interaction layers. These rotations are associated with reduced task-aligned margins and larger task-aware representation harm under missing-modality inputs. We propose Geodesic Unlearning (GU), a lightweight parameter-editing method that leverages Grassmannian subspace geometry for structured subspace correction to improve missing-modality robustness. It rotates the principal input subspace toward a unimodal reference along a geodesic path. We prove that this correction minimizes the distance to the reference within a fixed subspace-distance budget. Experiments across architectures and datasets show that GU improves performance under missing-modality inference while preserving full-modality accuracy, outperforming strong missing-modality robustness baselines. These findings support a geometric view of deployment-time missing-modality degradation and suggest localized subspace editing as a practical route for robustness correction.

Explicit Subspace Evasive Sets via Subspace Designs

Joshua Brakensiek, Yeyuan Chen, Mahdi Cheraghchi, Rohan Goyal, Venkatesan Guruswami, Aaron Putterman, Zihan Zhang

原文摘要

Given a finite field $\mathbb F_q$, we say that a set $A\subseteq \mathbb F^n_q$ is an $(r,c)$ subspace evasive set if and only if for any affine subspace $U\subseteq \mathbb F^n_q$ with bounded dimension $\dim(U)\leq r$, the intersection size $|A\cap U|$ is at most $c$. The probabilistic method shows the existence of $(r,c)$ subspace evasive sets with $|A| = q^{(1-ε) n}$ with $c = O(r/ε)$. However, the best explicit constructions by Dvir--Lovett (STOC 2012) and Ben-Aroya--Shinkar (CJTCS 2013) have $c$ growing as an exponential function of $r$. Here, we give an explicit construction of such subspace evasive set that achieves the intersection bound $c=O(\min(r\log(r/ε)/ε, r^2/ε))$ when both $r$ and $1/ε$ are constants. Our approach is simple and the key idea is to compose subspace design codes (Guruswami-Xing, STOC 2013) with a suitably chosen ``local'' subspace evasive set. As a corollary, we give the first construction of an explicit (strongly) capacity-achieving list-recoverable code with nearly optimal list size, circumventing all previously-known barriers to construction.

Parametric Retrieval-Augmented Generation using Latent Routing of LoRA Adapters

Zhan Su, Fengran Mo, Jinghan Zhang, Yuchen Hui, Jiaao Sun, Jian-yun Nie

原文摘要

Parametric Retrieval-Augmented Generation (PRAG) is a RAG approach that integrates external knowledge directly into model parameters using a LoRA adapter, aiming at reducing the inference cost compared to traditional RAG. However, current PRAG approaches adopt a \textit{one-to-one} document encoding scheme, using a dedicated LoRA adapter for each individual document. This scheme introduces two major limitations: 1) As the number of documents increases, there will be a prohibitive cost for training and storage. 2) The LoRA adapters may largely overlap due to the shared knowledge across documents, making the approach highly inefficient. To overcome these challenges, we propose the Poly-PRAG approach, which uses a small set of LoRA adapters that are able to encode more general knowledge. Each document can be encoded using a combination of them through a latent routing function. By jointly training the LoRA adapters and the latent routing function, each LoRA adapter is able to encode a shared part of the knowledge across documents, and the routing function can select the best combination of adapters for a document. Experimental results on four benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of the Poly-PRAG compared to other strong PRAG baselines. In addition, this approach reduces the storage requirement by avoiding the need to store a large number of LoRA adapters and offers a more efficient way to encode external knowledge into LLMs.

A Distribution Mapping Approach to Counterfactually Fair Reinforcement Learning

Jianhan Zhang, Jitao Wang, John D. Piette, Donglin Zeng, Chengchun Shi, Zhenke Wu

原文摘要

Reinforcement learning (RL) seeks to optimize sequential decisions to maximize population-level benefits over time. However, when deployed in high-stakes settings such as healthcare, RL decisions might systematically restrict some subpopulation's access to valuable services in a manner contrary to the values and goals of stakeholders. Counterfactual fairness (CF) offers a promising framework to address this problem based on causal reasoning. This paper develops a data preprocessing algorithm that, when used in tandem with policy learning, enables CF in RL. Our algorithm relies on a novel quantile distribution mapping method for sequentially estimating the counterfactual states and rewards in the data preprocessing step, subsuming common additivity assumptions used for counterfactual prediction as a special case. We theoretically prove that the per-step level of counterfactual unfairness and infinite-horizon suboptimality gap can be bounded under mild regularity conditions. We also empirically test our algorithm in numerical experiments as well as in application to a real-world interventional digital health dataset.

Split and Bridge: Multimodal Generation via Diffusion Bridging

Ahmad Arrabi, Xiaohan Zhang, Xingyu Li, Safwan Wshah

原文摘要

Visual data are often expressed through multiple complementary modalities (e.g., images and segmentation masks), each capturing different aspects of the same underlying structure. Most existing multimodal methods adopt a top-down paradigm, learning a shared latent variable through joint training from scratch, which limits scalability. We propose Split and Bridge (SnB), a bottom-up framework for multimodal generation that couples pretrained unimodal diffusion models at sampling time. Rather than learning a unified latent space, SnB generates coherent multimodal samples by following a shared diffusion trajectory up to a split point and then branching into modality-specific trajectories guided by a bridge module. This design enables plug-and-play reuse of powerful pretrained models without joint training, making it scalable and easily adaptable. Across standard benchmarks (PolyMNIST, CelebAMask-HQ) and more complex settings (PIE-Bench++, ROCO), SnB achieves a strong balance between sample quality and coherence. We show that SnB naturally extends to downstream zero-shot tasks such as interleaved co-generation, image editing, and style coupling/decoupling. Our results demonstrate that bottom-up generation provides a practical framework that complements existing top-down multimodal approaches. Code is available at https://github.com/AhmadArrabi/SnB

提出 World In-Context Learning(WICL)范式与 RoboScript 框架:冻结模型从单次演示出发,在仿真世界中排练任务,把反馈写入上下文而非权重,从而在新场景中完成操作任务。

cs.CV · cs.RO

查看原文摘要

Trained action policies write manipulation skill into network weights, tying what is learned to the distribution it is learned from. In-context learning (ICL) avoids this coupling but has not matched trained policies, because a demonstration recorded in another scene carries no feedback from the world the robot currently faces. We observe that what an agent learns in context is semantic, recording task steps and object roles rather than visual appearance, so experience gathered in one world transfers to another. Based on this insight, we propose World In-Context Learning (WICL), a paradigm in which a frozen model starts from a demonstration, rehearses the task in a world such as a simulator, and writes the feedback into its context rather than its weights. We build RoboScript, a modular infrastructure that implements WICL for agentic manipulation. From a single demonstration, RoboScript learns each task through rehearsal in simulation, freezes the learned knowledge as a Task Memory, and deploys the frozen memory on new scenes with data isolation that ensures every deployment input is available on a real robot. On all 50 tasks of RoboTwin 2.0, RoboScript reaches 83.4% mean success across clean and randomized settings with one demonstration per task and no gradient updates, exceeding the strongest trained action policy by over 20 points. The method generalizes across visual distributions, improves through reflection, scales with the foundation model, and transfers to a physical dual-arm robot through cross-embodiment memory adaptation. With a world in the loop, a robot can learn a manipulation task in its context as well as it learns one in its weights. All code is available at https://github.com/ArcheOne-AI/RoboScript

Embodied First Exam

Kangrui Wang, Qineng Wang, Changhe Chen, Pingyue Zhang, Chi Gui, Feishi Wang, Canyu Chen, Wenli Xiao 等 30 位作者

原文摘要

Early successes on agentic robotics point to a potential paradigm shift toward using coding agents to control robots. Existing robotics benchmarks are built around visuomotor policy learning, leaving it open whether coding agents can reliably control diverse robots under physical-world constraints. We therefore introduce the Embodied First Exam, a unified, comprehensive, and agent-native evaluation framework where coding agents can choose their own control approach: direct control, code to control, or train a policy to control. We hope it serves as a first exam for coding agents before they enter the physical world, with 1,156 tasks in 35 suites on 47 robots, including 9 new suites that go beyond pick-and-place to spatial puzzles, dexterous manipulation, multi-robot interaction, dynamic whole-body control, and sim-to-sim engineering. Each task can be run in up to three evaluation settings. The Standard Setting mimics the real world: the agent receives only sensor observations and, by default, cannot reset the environment. Its Realtime variant keeps the environment running while the agent reasons. The Privileged Setting gives the agent access to the full simulator state and unlimited resets, allowing it to search for an oracle solution for training purposes. Success rates in this setting serve as an approximate upper bound. On the 456 core tasks, the strongest of eight agents, GPT-6 Astra in Codex, achieves a success rate of 34% in the Standard Setting, leaving much room for improvement. To see where agents fail, we label the stage at which failed attempts go wrong and compare failures across agents, settings, and stage categories.

PointForward: Feedforward Driving Reconstruction through Point-Aligned Representations

Cheng Chi, Xianqi Wang, Hongcheng Luo, Mingfei Tu, Gangwei Xu, Zehan Zhang, Bing Wang, Guang Chen 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

High-fidelity reconstruction of driving scenes is crucial for autonomous driving. While recent feedforward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) methods enable fast reconstruction, their per-pixel Gaussian prediction paradigm often suffers from multi-view inconsistency and layering artifacts. Moreover, existing methods often model dynamic instances via dense flow prediction, which lacks explicit cross-view correspondence and instance-level consistency. In this paper, we propose PointForward, a feedforward driving reconstruction framework through point-aligned representations. Unlike pixel-aligned methods, we initialize sparse 3D queries in world space and aggregate multi-view image information via spatial-temporal fusion onto these queries, enforcing explicit cross-view consistency in a single feedforward pass. To handle scene dynamics, we introduce scene graphs that explicitly organize moving instances during reconstruction. By leveraging 3D bounding boxes, our method enables instance-level motion propagation and temporally consistent dynamic representations. Extensive experiments show that PointForward achieves state-of-the-art performance on large-scale driving benchmarks.

Task-adaptive anonymisation enables privacy-preserving sharing of clinical speech data

Ziyun Cui, Haoyu Niu, Wen Wu, Hao Sun, Sihan Zhang, Chang Lei, Yun Zhang, Chunyun Sun 等 15 位作者

原文摘要

Clinical speech is increasingly used for disease screening and clinical assessment, but directly distributing speech recordings poses privacy risks because they contain both speaker-identifying voiceprints and sensitive spoken content. Existing speech anonymisation approaches are primarily developed for general speech applications or task-specific clinical speech and overlook that different clinical tasks rely on distinct speech characteristics, necessitating task-adaptive anonymisation strategies to protect patient privacy while preserving clinical utility. Here we introduce CASA, a clinically adaptive speech anonymisation agent that transforms anonymisation from a fixed processing procedure into a task-guided optimisation process, dynamically tailoring voiceprint and content anonymisation to task-specific privacy and clinical utility requirements. Through recursive self-improvement (RSI), CASA iteratively evaluates and refines anonymisation strategies against task-specific privacy and clinical utility requirements, while learning from these outcomes to guide more efficient planning in subsequent clinical tasks. CASA is validated across 14 clinical tasks encompassing five languages, diverse elicitation paradigms, and mental health, cognitive and voice disorders. CASA preserved disease-related classification performance while meeting speaker-anonymisation requirements across all clinical tasks, versus only 8/14 for the strongest fixed method. Assessments of resistance to speaker re-identification by external attackers and identification and redaction of sensitive personal information in clinical speech further demonstrated CASA's dual protection of speaker identity and sensitive spoken content. Clinical expert assessments further supported the preservation of clinically relevant information and the acceptability of anonymised speech for controlled research sharing.

TabDLM: Free-Form Tabular Data Generation via Joint Numerical-Language Diffusion

Donghong Cai, Jiarui Feng, Yanbo Wang, Da Zheng, Yixin Chen, Muhan Zhang

原文摘要

Synthetic tabular data generation has attracted growing attention due to its importance for data augmentation, foundation models, and privacy. However, real-world tabular datasets increasingly contain free-form text fields (e.g., reviews or clinical notes) alongside structured numerical and categorical attributes. Generating such heterogeneous tables with joint modeling of different modalities remains challenging. Existing approaches broadly fall into two categories: diffusion-based methods and LLM-based methods. Diffusion models can capture complex dependencies over numerical and categorical features in continuous or discrete spaces, but extending them to open-ended text is nontrivial, since they model each column as a continuous value or one of a closed set of categories, whereas text lives in an exponentially large sequence space. In contrast, LLM-based generators naturally produce fluent text, yet their discrete tokenization can distort precise or wide-range numerical values, hindering accurate modeling of both numbers and language. In this work, we propose TabDLM, a unified framework for free-form tabular data generation via a joint numerical-language diffusion model built on masked diffusion language models (MDLMs). TabDLM models textual and categorical features through masked diffusion, while modeling numerical features with a continuous diffusion process through learned specialized numeric tokens embedding; bidirectional attention then captures cross-modality interactions within a single model. Extensive experiments on diverse benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of TabDLM compared to strong diffusion- and LLM-based baselines. Our code is available at https://github.com/ilikevegetable/TabDLM.

Interactive Person Retrieval with On-the-Fly Visual Feedback

Lyucheng Qian, John Yuehan Zhang, Pingyu Wang

原文摘要

Traditional text-based person retrieval (TPR) assumes that a witness provides a complete description at once, whereas interactive person retrieval (Inter-PR) refines a partial description through question-answer exchanges. In this setting, the questioner inspects retrieved candidates to decide what evidence to request next, while the answerer sees only the witness-side memory and cannot report candidate-specific visual differences. Existing methods mainly learn offline question orderings, leaving this visual-feedback loop underexplored. To address this limitation, we introduce visual-feedback interactive person retrieval (VFI-PR), a new interactive retrieval paradigm in which retrieved candidates produce visual feedback that becomes evidence for subsequent questioning and re-ranking. To support training and evaluation in this setting, we construct VFI-PEDES, a dataset and evaluation protocol for visual-feedback interaction, and propose VFI-ReID, a framework that learns to use visual feedback during interactive person retrieval. Through the Dynamic Accumulated-evidence Retriever (DAR) and retrieval-aware question optimization, VFI-ReID adapts retrieval and question generation to evolving evidence states, turning visual feedback into complementary evidence for subsequent retrieval. Experiments show that VFI-ReID consistently improves retrieval across VFI-PR interaction stages, demonstrating the utility of visual feedback for interactive person retrieval and outperforming existing Inter-PR baselines.

Simple Test-Time Refinement for Plot-to-Code Generation via Visual-Code Diagnostics

Peiming Guo, Jinpeng Huang, Yangbin Sun, Gaoxiong Cao, Ensheng Shi, Yuchi Ma, Yu Zhang, Meishan Zhang 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Plot-to-code generation has been greatly advanced by recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs). However, existing studies mainly focus on one-pass generation or iterative sampling guided by verifier-based filtering, which does not align with the typical human programming workflow of generate first, then iteratively error-location and fix. This naturally motivates a test-time refinement paradigm for plot-to-code generation. In this work, we present the first study on plot-to-code generation via iterative test-time refinement. We propose a Visual-Code Diagnostics framework that enables refinement through visual feedback from source code. Specifically, we first categorize generation errors into four coarse-grained types, and then train lightweight discriminators to recognize and localize these errors based on the rendered visual outputs and corresponding code. Unlike traditional compiler- or debugger-based verification, our approach performs iterative refinement guided by one diagnostics system, enabling more effective semantic and visual correction during test time. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method consistently improves generation quality across diverse generators and significantly outperforms strong test-time scaling baselines.

From Detection to Understanding: TAR and TAR-Bench for Multi-Task Traffic Anomaly Reasoning

Han Zhang, Yilin Zhao, Zaid Pervaiz Bhat, Zheng Tang, Varun Praveen, Vidya N. Murali, David C. Anastasiu, Tomasz Kornuta

原文摘要

Detecting a traffic anomaly does not establish whether a video-language model can explain what happened, localize it in time, or identify its causes. We introduce TAR (Traffic Anomaly Reasoning) and TAR-Bench, paired resources for training and evaluating these complementary capabilities across 10 tasks spanning question answering, temporal reasoning, and scene understanding. TAR contains 44,040 automatically generated annotations with chain-of-thought traces for 3,670 CCTV videos from eight public datasets. TAR-Bench provides 960 human-curated annotations for 80 held-out clips from 17 public YouTube videos. Evaluation of eleven vision-language models and analysis of fine-tuned outputs reveal temporal, causal, and descriptive errors not captured by closed-form question-answering accuracy. Training on all 10 tasks raises mean benchmark scores from 34.3 to 55.7 for Cosmos-Reason2-8B and from 30.9 to 53.9 for Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct. These results support joint training across complementary tasks, while highlighting persistent limitations in temporal precision and causal attribution. TAR and TAR-Bench serve as the official training and in-domain evaluation resources for AI City Challenge 2026 Track~3. The dataset is available under CC-BY-4.0 at https://huggingface.co/datasets/nvidia/PhysicalAI-Traffic-Anomaly-Reasoning.

SpreadsheetBench 2: Evaluating Agents on End-to-End Business Spreadsheet Workflows

Jian Zhu, Yuzheng Zhang, Zeyao Ma, Bohan Zhang, Armin Schoepf, Daniel Woloch, Peter Yiliu Wang, Guangyu Robert Yang 等 14 位作者

原文摘要

Spreadsheets are widely used for business analysis, financial modeling, reporting, and decision-making. However, most existing spreadsheet benchmarks evaluate isolated operations such as single-formula generation or local cell edits, and therefore fail to capture end-to-end workflows in realistic business settings. We introduce \textsc{SpreadsheetBench 2}, a workflow-level benchmark for spreadsheet agents that covers three task categories: generation, debugging, and visualization. The benchmark is constructed from authentic business data, including financial reports and corporate filings, and is annotated and validated by domain experts. The benchmark contains 321 tasks; each instance averages 11.8 worksheets and requires 593.5 cell modifications, reflecting large multi-sheet workbooks with cross-sheet dependencies. We evaluate eight frontier large language models under a unified multi-turn agent scaffold, and additionally include several LLM-based spreadsheet products as complementary baselines. Results show that current systems remain far from reliable on real-world workflows: the best model achieves 34.89\% overall task accuracy, and debugging accuracy is as low as 12.00\%. Trajectory analysis and a failure taxonomy further indicate that insufficient spreadsheet inspection and incorrect target-cell selection are the dominant bottlenecks. Together, these findings position \textsc{SpreadsheetBench 2} as a challenging testbed for advancing reliable spreadsheet automation. Project page: https://spreadsheetbench.github.io/

FlashMol: High-Quality Molecule Generation in as Few as Four Steps

Xinyuan Wei, Zian Li, Shaoheng Yan, Cai Zhou, Muhan Zhang

原文摘要

Generating chemically valid 3D molecular conformations is critical for computational drug discovery. Classical diffusion-based models like GeoLDM perform well but require hundreds of steps, making large-scale in silico screening impractical. Recent efforts on few-step molecular generation have accelerated this process to 12-50 steps, but they often largely sacrifice sample stability. In this work, we present FlashMol, an ultra-fast molecule generative model producing high-quality molecular conformations in as few as 4 steps. To achieve this, we adapt distribution matching distillation (DMD) -- a reverse KL-divergence minimization objective -- to the molecular domain for effective distillation. Considering the local minimization behavior of DMD, we respace the molecule generation timesteps, providing the generator with much better initialization and enables effective distillation. Additionally, to mitigate the mode-seeking behavior of DMD and improve diversity, we further regularize it with a Jensen-Shannon divergence term, which incorporates the mean-seeking behavior of the forward KL divergence. Extensive experiments on QM9 and GEOM-DRUG datasets demonstrate that FlashMol matches and even surpasses the original 1000-step teacher: by applying respacing to the GeoLDM teacher (GeoLDM-respaced), we achieve comparable results to the 1000-NFE teacher with as few as 16 NFEs. After further distillation, FlashMol is able to sample with only 4 NFEs while maintaining high molecular quality, achieving up to 250$\times$ acceleration compared to the GeoLDM teacher.

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.

DobotTrack: Target-Grounded Vision-Language-Action Learning for Embodied Person Tracking

Shengjun Deng, Yinghan Zhang, Chengrui Wei, Liu Liang, Songyuan Liu, Pengkun Zheng, Yajun Zheng, Ying Zhang 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Language-guided embodied person tracking requires a mobile agent to identify a target from a referring description and consistently follow the target under egocentric observations. We present DobotTrack, a target-grounded vision-language-action (VLA) framework that integrates auxiliary grounding supervision with efficient temporal modeling. We systematically investigate five auxiliary tasks---person segmentation, bounding-box grounding, visual-spatial classification (VSC), future DINO feature prediction, and future-frame prediction---and adopt complementary mask and bounding-box supervision to enhance target delineation and localization. We introduce Q-identity, a target-conditioned historical visual compression module that leverages target-grounding predictions to selectively preserve identity-discriminative appearance features and spatial cues in compact historical tokens. On EVT-Bench, our 0.8B-parameter model achieves an average success rate of 77.9%, exceeding OmTrackVLA by 16.9 percentage points across the three tasks. We further construct a real-world person-tracking dataset collected using a quadruped robot, comprising 126 episodes and 596,323 mask-annotated frames. The target masks enable automatic derivation of bounding boxes and visual-spatial labels encoding horizontal position and apparent image scale, providing additional grounding supervision without separate manual annotation of these labels. Together, our framework and annotation pipeline support learning target-grounded tracking policies from simulated and real-world data. Code is available at https://github.com/Dobot-Team/dobot_track.

ISER-MoE: Dynamic In-Switch Replication of Hot Experts for Load Balancing in Expert-Parallel

Jintao Peng, Ethan Zhang, Kefeng Duan, Bangyu Sheng, Min Li, Itamar Rosenfeld Rauch, Jack Yang, June Yang

原文摘要

Expert-parallel mixture-of-experts (MoE) layers run at the pace of the most loaded GPU, and a few hot experts carry most of the excess load. Replicating them at every MoE layer balances the load only if their weights arrive within the layer, and broadcasting from the owner is the bottleneck: point-to-point copies overload it, and baseline broadcasts pay latency or bandwidth overheads. We present ISER-MoE (In-Switch Expert Replication for MoE), built in TensorRT-LLM, which multicasts hot experts through the NVLink switch to fixed GPU groups, so each byte leaves its owner once. A GPU scheduler assigns hot experts to groups per layer, and a multi-port broadcast spreads the injection over the group's ports, both overlapped with the shared expert. In trace replay, the scheduler removed 98-99% of the excess load; in prefill serving of DeepSeek-V4-Pro, throughput rose 17.4% on a math benchmark and 7.2% on agentic prompts.

GABench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Agents on Graph Analysis Tasks

Jiarui Tan, Zhongjian Zhang, YaBo Guo, Jiawei Liu, Yujie Xing, Muhan Zhang, Cheng Yang, Chuan Shi

原文摘要

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly capable of planning, using tools, and interacting with external environments. They are typically supported by harnesses, which manage state and coordinate multi-step execution. Graph analysis provides a promising setting for evaluating their agentic capabilities, because it requires agents to access data and execute operations in a graph environment. However, existing graph benchmarks for LLMs provide limited coverage of graph tasks and graph types, making it difficult to comprehensively evaluate LLM agents. Moreover, they typically formulate graph analysis as text-based question answering, where graph information is directly provided in the prompt, limiting the evaluation of end-to-end agentic capabilities. To address these limitations, we introduce GABench, a comprehensive benchmark for agentic graph analysis. GABench spans three graph types and covers four graph analysis task categories: graph retrieval, graph theory, graph machine learning, and graph open-ended question answering. GABench also provides 84 executable tools for accessing graph data and performing diverse graph operations. Building on these tools, we develop an agentic graph analysis task generation pipeline and construct 10,400 tasks with verifiable ground truth.Using GABench, we evaluate a range of frontier LLMs and agent harnesses. Our experiments reveal three key findings: (1) Existing LLM agents still struggle with complex graph analysis tasks. (2) Harness choice significantly affects performance, yet existing harnesses remain limited on complex graph tasks. (3) Graph analysis depends more on tool-call quality than quantity. Our findings provide practical insights into the development and evaluation of LLM agents for graph analysis.

PFM-HR: Pose Flow Matching for Humanoid Robots

Yukang Gao, Yi Gu, Yangchen Zhou, Xingyu Chen, Zhaorui Wang, Fanghai Zhang, Hanyang Cao, Zhengyang Shen 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

Motion priors improve reinforcement learning for physics-based humanoid tracking, but temporal priors require ordered motion clips, while pose priors provide limited guidance for policy-induced pose transitions. We present Pose Flow Matching for Humanoid Robots (PFM-HR), a reusable flow matching prior trained directly on large scale unordered pose data. PFM-HR introduces the Pose Geometry Score (PGS), which quantifies how joint coordinate changes during rollouts align with the local geometry of pose variation captured by the prior. Using PGS to modulate the tracking reward guides policy exploration toward structured pose changes while keeping the prior frozen across tracking tasks. Experiments demonstrate that PFM-HR improves both single motion and general motion tracking, especially for highly dynamic motions.

Segment What It Can Draw: Querying a Text-to-Image Generator with Its Own Images for Skin Lesion Segmentation

Hongyu Cao, Guangfu Guo, Jinghan Zhang, Dakshak Keerthi Chandra, Ying Zhang, Kunpeng Liu

原文摘要

Skin lesion segmentation without annotated masks requires the target to be specified through other cues. Existing approaches rely on dermoscopy-specific rules, annotation-derived model priors, or user-selected regions. A general text-to-image diffusion transformer offers a text interface to the target, but its concept-word attention is unreliable on dermoscopy images: in the model's attention-output space, the word-derived skin-to-lesion direction is poorly aligned with the direction separating real skin from real lesions. We show that the direction derived from generated healthy-skin and lesion images is substantially better aligned. Based on this finding, we propose GENIQ, a training-free method that constructs initial skin and lesion prototypes from generated images and refines them using the most skin-like and lesion-like patches from unlabelled dermoscopy images. It scores test patches along the refined direction and applies a gated threshold to suppress contextual spill-over around small lesions. Without inference-time annotations or additional models, GENIQ achieves Dice scores of 0.85-0.88 on three dermoscopy test sets. It outperforms zero-shot and word-based attention methods on all three sets, and a hand-designed dermoscopy pipeline in Dice and IoU on two.

Self-Driving Chemical Laboratories (SDCLs) are moving chemical experimentation toward embodied automation, where machines must perceive laboratory scenes, reason about experimental states, and act under physical, procedural, and safety constraints. Although Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are increasingly considered as embodied brains for such systems, existing laboratory benchmarks mainly focus on safety, anomaly detection, or general scientific understanding, leaving their execution-oriented embodied capabilities underexplored. To fill this gap, we introduce BEAKER, a Benchmark for evaluating Embodied Actionability, Knowledge, Experimentation, and Reasoning in SDCLs. BEAKER contains 1,000 expert-curated question-answer samples across 11 image and video task types, covering key judgments required for chemical laboratory execution, including affordance grounding, trajectory planning, equipment, state, and safety recognition, apparatus setup, operation and step reasoning, and temporal procedure reasoning. All questions and annotations are manually created and reviewed by chemistry and embodied Artificial Intelligence (AI) experts, without AI-assisted generation or annotation. We evaluate 28 general-purpose, science-oriented, chemistry-specialized, and embodied MLLMs in an offline, single-turn setting. Results show that current models can follow coarse experimental procedures in videos, but still struggle to ground actions into operable regions and feasible trajectories, to recognize fine-grained laboratory apparatus, states, and safety norms, and to order steps in mid-length procedures. BEAKER thus reveals a clear gap between coarse procedural understanding and the precise, action-grounded perception required for laboratory execution, providing a diagnostic benchmark for future MLLMs in SDCLs.

Denoise First, Orthogonalize Later: Understanding Momentum in Muon via Spectral Filtering

Xianliang Li, Zihan Zhang, Weiyang Liu, Han Bao

原文摘要

Muon has recently demonstrated strong empirical performance in large language model training, but the theoretical role of momentum in Muon remains unclear. Existing analyses of Muon either remove momentum to study spectral updates in isolation, or retain momentum without explaining why it improves empirical performance. Our work bridges this gap by showing momentum in Muon acts as a spectral filter. Under a structured signal-plus-perturbation gradient model, we prove that momentum suppresses perturbations while preserving the dominant signal, thereby enlarging the spectral gap between them. This enlarged gap stabilizes the singular subspaces of the matrix passed to Muon's orthogonalization step, making the resulting update more reliable. We further show that applying momentum before orthogonalization achieves provably stronger alignment with the signal component of the gradient than either reversing this order or simply removing momentum. Experiments across diverse tasks, including LLM pretraining, support our theoretical analysis. More broadly, our theory offers a starting point for understanding the benefits of momentum in other matrix-based optimizers.

Chiron: Cache Management Empowered by LLM Intelligence for AI Workloads

Bohan Zhang, Renshu Ge, Tianze Wang, Chen Chen

原文摘要

AI clusters keep data in remote object stores and rely on local caches to stop GPUs from waiting for data. A cache performs well only when its prefetching and eviction policies match the access pattern, yet these patterns differ across AI workloads and change between phases of one workflow. Existing methods either need code changes, which compromises user transparency, or use low-end heuristics, which cannot follow such changes. Large language models (LLMs) can infer access behavior without user hints, but direct LLM control of cache actions suffers from long reasoning delay, high token cost, and poor decision quality. We present Chiron, a cache system based on advisory switching control. An LLM asynchronously diagnoses the access pattern and recommends a policy. A deterministic harness gates this advice, executes expert-designed policies locally, and returns cache feedback for review. We implement Chiron atop JuiceFS and evaluate it on nine AI workloads. It reduces job completion time by 14.3-41.2% over the best baseline on popular AI workloads.

Holistic Parallel Supervision for Expressive Speech to Speech Translation

Hao Zhang, Ismail Rasim Ulgen, Bismarck Bamfo Odoom, Rui Liu, Zihan Zhang, Berrak Sisman, Philipp Koehn

原文摘要

Expressiveness is central to speech-to-speech translation (S2ST), yet existing datasets rarely align source and target speech jointly in content, prosody, timing, and speaker identity. Consequently, current systems often rely on indirect conditioning or transfer mechanisms. To obtain this supervision, we introduce a training-data construction strategy that combines professional dubbing, which provides human-performed correspondence in content, prosody, and timing, with multilingual voice conversion to reduce speaker mismatch. We evaluate this supervision using existing expressive S2ST systems and DirectS2ST, an end-to-end method developed in this work that predicts the complete target-speech representation directly from source speech. Experiments on English-German and English-Spanish show that holistic parallel supervision improves expressive realization across all evaluated systems. DirectS2ST exhibits the largest gains in content, prosody, timing, speaker similarity, and human-rated expressiveness. To our knowledge, this work provides the first systematic investigation of holistic parallel supervision for expressive S2ST.

EvoWorld: Evolving Panoramic World Generation with Explicit 3D Memory

Jiahao Wang, Luoxin Ye, TaiMing Lu, Junfei Xiao, Jiahan Zhang, Yuxiang Guo, Xijun Liu, Rama Chellappa 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Humans possess a remarkable ability to mentally explore and replay 3D environments they have previously experienced. Inspired by this mental process, we present EvoWorld: a world model that bridges panoramic video generation with evolving 3D memory to enable spatially consistent long-horizon exploration. Given a single panoramic image as input, EvoWorld first generates future video frames by leveraging a video generator with fine-grained view control, then evolves the scene's 3D reconstruction using a feedforward plug-and-play transformer, and finally synthesizes futures by conditioning on geometric reprojections from this evolving explicit 3D memory. Unlike prior state-of-the-arts that synthesize videos only, our key insight lies in exploiting this evolving 3D reconstruction as explicit spatial guidance for the video generation process, projecting the reconstructed geometry onto target viewpoints to provide rich spatial cues that significantly enhance both visual realism and geometric consistency. To evaluate long-range exploration capabilities, we introduce the first comprehensive benchmark spanning synthetic outdoor environments, Habitat indoor scenes, and challenging real-world scenarios, with particular emphasis on loop-closure detection and spatial coherence over extended trajectories. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our evolving 3D memory substantially improves visual fidelity and maintains spatial scene coherence compared to existing approaches, representing a significant advance toward long-horizon spatially consistent world modeling.

Think Less, Locally: Local Preference Learning for Reasoning Compression

Muyao Yuan, Liyan Xu, Weizhan Zhang, Muyan Jiao, Jiangnan Li, Jinchao Zhang, Jie Zhou

原文摘要

Large reasoning models achieve strong performance on challenging tasks, but their long chain-of-thought often incurs substantial inference costs by continuing to deliberate after sufficient information has been obtained. Existing reasoning compression methods primarily operate on reasoning trajectories, paying less attention to the local decision of whether further reasoning is necessary given the current state. We propose LoCo, a local preference learning method for reasoning compression. LoCo detects candidate overthinking states from the model's own traces, freezes the corresponding reasoning prefixes, regenerates shorter verified continuations from the same states, and trains on the resulting state-conditioned preference pairs with DPO. This formulation teaches the model when to continue reasoning and when to conclude, rather than simply encouraging shorter trajectories overall. We construct training data entirely from self-generated mathematical traces and evaluate LoCo on five mathematical and three code generation benchmarks. LoCo reduces completion length by 41.7\%--45.4\% on mathematics and 23.4\%--36.3\% on code, while maintaining or improving accuracy and achieving the best AUC across all code benchmarks. LoCo consistently improves the accuracy-efficiency trade-off on mathematics and transfers effectively to code generation despite math-only training, demonstrating the cross-domain generality of local preference learning for reasoning compression. The code and model will be publicly released at https://github.com/MuyaoYuan/LoCo.

Collaborative Search Meets Large Language Models: An Empirical Study

Peiyuan Gong, Jiamian Li, Erhan Zhang, Fengming Liang, Kexin Liu, Yue Chen, Jiaxin Mao

原文摘要

Collaborative search enables users to address complex information needs jointly. Advances in large language models (LLMs) enable autonomous agents to support collaborative information seeking within shared communication spaces. However, little is known about how these agents shape search experiences, behaviors, and outcomes compared with conventional search tools. We conduct a user study with 80 students working in 40 pairs. Each pair completes four collaborative search tasks under four scenarios: QAAgent, which answers queries using an LLM's parametric knowledge; CoSearchAgent, which uses multi-user conversational context to reformulate queries, retrieve web information, and generate source-grounded answers, while asking clarifying questions when needed; an in-chat search plugin that returns result lists; and manual Google Search. After each task, participants complete several questionnaires assessing their search experience and independently write a report; after all tasks, they participate in individual interviews. Results show that LLM-based agents reduce perceived workload, support collaboration, and reshape communication and evidence-use practices. They also encourage more independent paraphrasing, albeit at the cost of report richness. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic empirical comparison of LLM-based agents and conventional tools for collaborative search across search experience, user behavior, and collaborative outcomes.
