    Dyna3: VLM-Guided Training-Free 4D Reconstruction via Depth Foundation Models

    Xinhao Xiang, Weiyang Li, Zhijie Zheng, Abhijeet Rastogi, Jiawei Zhang

    Recent depth foundation models like Depth Anything 3 (DA3) achieve remarkable multi-view depth estimation but assume static 3D scenes, limiting their applicability to real-world dynamic environments. Existing training-free 4D methods like Easi3R and VGGT4D rely on correspondence-trained backbones whose attention encodes cross-frame matching, a property absent in depth-only models like DA3. We present Dyna3, a training-free framework that extends DA3 for 4D dynamic scene reconstruction without any fine-tuning. Our key insight is that DA3's cross-view features, though trained only for depth consistency, implicitly encode motion-discriminative signals when combined with best-match feature search across frames. Its static surfaces find consistent matches globally, while dynamic objects cannot. We further adopt vision-language models (VLM) to automatically generate scene-specific semantic prompts for SAM 3, enabling precise instance-level segmentation that distinguishes which objects move from what objects exist. For reconstruction, we decouple the scene into a cross-frame aligned static background and per-frame dynamic point clouds. Experiments on four datasets demonstrate that Dyna3…

    Model validation in machine learning: A scenario-based guide from hold-out splits to nested group cross-validation in biomedical and applied research

    Mehmet Baygin, Sengul Dogan, Turker Tuncer

    Model validation estimates the performance of a complete learning procedure on new data. However, an invalid split can produce an optimistic and stable result. This tutorial reviews hold-out validation, train/validation/test designs, repeated random subsampling, k-fold and repeated stratified cross-validation, leave-one-out and leave-p-out schemes, group-aware validation, and nested group cross-validation. General machine-learning principles are linked to EEG epochs, paired-eye OCT images, repeated clinical measurements, and multicenter data. Eight controlled scenarios compare flawed and leakage-safe designs: seven use locked confusion matrices with auditable metrics, and one uses a reproducible repeated-study simulation. The scenarios cover global feature selection, normalization leakage, dependent records, center mixing, repeated test-set use, and estimator instability. Bias, variance, metric aggregation, uncertainty, and computational cost are also examined. A data-size matrix, a decision tree, and reporting checklists are provided. Reproducible MATLAB templates and scikit-learn counterparts are included. The results show that no validation method is universally best. The…

    ShelfChange3D: Object-Level 3D Change Detection for Retail Shelf Monitoring

    Lingyi Zhou, Yunke Wang, Mengyu Zheng, Wenbo Wang, Zijian Wang +1

    Reliable shelf monitoring is an important capability for retail automation, yet existing out-of-stock detection methods mainly operate in image space and lack metric 3D localization for downstream robotic systems. We formulate shelf monitoring as object-level 3D change detection: given two RGB-D observations captured at different times, the goal is to identify changed products and localize each change with a 3D bounding box. To support this task, we introduce ShelfChange3D, comprising 145K synthetic and 5K real-world paired RGB-D observations with object-level 3D change annotations. We further propose ChangeBox, an end-to-end framework that jointly reasons over paired observations and predicts object-level 3D change boxes. To improve localization accuracy, we introduce a geometry-based refinement stage that exploits depth and gravity prior to estimate relative pose and refine predicted boxes. Experiments show that ChangeBox outperforms existing change detection baselines, with further gains from refinement and effective transfer from synthetic to real-world observations.

    Trustworthy Data- and ML-Ops for Intelligent Transportation Systems and Logistics

    Antonio Emanuele Cinà, Giovanni Scodeller, Cecilia Caterina Pasquale, Silvia Siri, Davide Anguita +3

    The rapid evolution of Intelligent Transportation Systems and Logistics (ITS\&L) has become a cornerstone of the modern social economy, relying heavily on the integration of Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and, more specifically, Machine Learning (ML). This paper provides a comprehensive review of Trustworthy Data and Machine Learning Operations (DataOps and MLOps) in the ITS\&L domain, underscoring their importance in improving efficiency, reliability, and decision-making precision within transportation and logistics services. We begin by identifying gaps in current literature, offering clear context for our contribution. Subsequently, we explore the complexities of DataOps and MLOps, discussing their necessity, key components, available tools, practical insights, and case studies relevant to ITS\&L. Additionally, we address the critical issue of Trustworthiness in AI applications, examining methods and tools designed to strengthen confidence in AI systems - especially in real-world ITS\&L scenarios. The paper concludes with a discussion of persisting challenges and future prospects in this rapidly advancing field, aiming to serve as a vital resource for researchers,…

    PickMoment: Continuous-Time Single-Image-to-Video via Learning Deblurring and Blur-to-Video

    Junseong Shin, Hyeonsu Jo, Daehyun Kim, Tae Hyun Kim

    Motion blur arises from the temporal integration of a continuous sharp signal over a finite exposure window, yet existing learning-based methods sidestep this physical model and predict only the sharp signal itself: most single-image deblurring methods recover a single frame at the exposure center, while blur-to-video methods predict a fixed set of frames. We introduce PickMoment, a continuous-time reformulation that directly learns the interval-mean blur over arbitrary sub-intervals of the exposure with a single deterministic model. Drawing an analogy to MeanFlow's average-velocity formulation, we train the model with three supervisions derived from the blur integral: an empirical reconstruction loss from available subframes, an additivity loss that enforces self-consistency across overlapping sub-intervals, and a sharp-frame loss anchored at the zero-interval limit. A single trained model unifies single-image deblurring, blur-to-video generation, and continuous-time pick-a-moment recovery as different queries to the same network, with no separate training for each task. Our PickMoment achieves state-of-the-art performance among generative-based deblurring methods on GoPro and…

    SCOPE-AD: Sequential cost-aware ordinal-belief planning with energy-based models for diagnostic agents

    Ziwen Yu, Ivan Koychev, Elizabeth Coulthard, Ting Zhou, Bolin Chen +5

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis requires sequential evidence acquisition under heterogeneous test costs and patient burden. Fixed-modality predictors do not jointly decide which test to acquire or when the available evidence is sufficient for diagnosis. We propose SCOPE-AD (Sequential Cost-Aware Ordinal-Belief Planning with Energy-Based Models for Diagnostic Agents) for cost-aware classification of cognitively normal (CN), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and AD cases. A mask-aware ordinal model represents uncertainty along the ordered CN--MCI--AD continuum. Retrospective training records provide sampled Bellman targets for an energy-based teacher, whose action distributions are distilled into a Qwen policy. At deployment, the agent selects acquisition or diagnosis actions under availability and budget constraints without access to unacquired values. After each acquisition, the evidence and ordinal belief are updated before the next decision. On ADNI, SCOPE-AD achieves 77.70\% Macro-F1 at an average acquisition cost of \$50.46, exceeding the strongest evaluated baseline by 9.34 percentage points. Full-modality evaluation raises Macro-F1 by only 1.89 points while increasing…

    Know When to Hold 'em: Correct-Token Retention in Uniform-State Diffusion Language Models

    Mojtaba Nafez, James Henderson

    Uniform-state diffusion models (USDMs) can revise any token at any denoising step, which lets them correct their own mistakes, a key advantage over masked diffusion. Self-correction, however, requires both revising incorrect tokens and retaining correct ones, and we show that current USDMs lack the latter. Even under greedy-tail decoding, state-of-the-art USDMs (DUO, UDLM, and uniform-noise SEDD) keep revising 173--270 of 512 positions at every step, and these large, uncoordinated edits collapse sample diversity. A random-token corruption experiment traces this deficit to the models themselves: they reconstruct clean and corrupted tokens with nearly identical accuracy, even though clean tokens are easier targets. A decomposition of the validation NELBO shows that training barely rewards retention: incorrect predictions are heavily penalized at corrupted positions but almost free at clean ones. We propose Correct-Token Retention Regularization (CTR-Reg), a simple but effective auxiliary loss that trains the model to retain tokens left unperturbed by the forward process and requires no change to the sampler. CTR-Reg improves clean-token accuracy by 26.5 percentage points on average…

    Not All Is Lost: Repairing Lossy User Preference States of Personalization Encoders

    Parthiv Chatterjee, Dhiraj Golhar, Ummesalma Diwan, Sourish Dasgupta, Manjunath Joshi +1

    Personalization encoders compress evolving interaction histories into preference states used to rank items or condition text generation. A task head operating only on this state can miss useful evidence that remains in the frozen encoder's cached representations for individual timesteps. We study this recoverability gap and propose REPAIR, which compares cached representations with the current preference state in a compact learned coordinate space. It resolves corrective evidence over extended history, recent interactions, and localized bursts. It then selects which patterns at which timesteps contribute and adds their aggregate correction to the state before the task head. Encoder-host repair reuses representations from the existing forward computation without re-encoding the history. Across MovieLens, PENS, MIND, and Amazon Reviews 2023, training only REPAIR improves MRR and nDCG@10 for all twelve representative recommendation hosts while both encoder and task head remain frozen. Head-only finetuning of the same hosts yields smaller gains. For example, Mamba4Rec on MovieLens gains 3.96 MRR points, compared with 0.19 from head-only finetuning. Rank and temporal diagnostics…

    IQS-BO: In-Context Query Selection for Bayesian Optimisation

    Luca Geminiani, Nadja Klein

    Bayesian Optimisation (BO) is a powerful framework for the optimisation of expensive black-box functions, but typically requires refitting a surrogate and maximising an acquisition function at every evaluation step. In-context approaches based on Prior-data Fitted Networks (PFNs) amortise part of this cost by pre-training transformers on functions drawn from synthetic priors. PFNs4BO amortises the surrogate but still relies on a numerically maximised acquisition function, while FIBO performs BO fully in-context by sampling optimiser locations from a learned density, which fixes the decision rule and admits no surrogate. Learned acquisition functions score a finite candidate set with a trained network, but, lacking a label for the query, learn the score by reinforcement learning on previously solved tasks. We propose IQS-BO, a PFN that learns the query decision by supervised learning on synthetic priors. In a single forward pass, IQS-BO predicts the probability that each candidate maximises the objective over the set, and we show that the minimiser of its objective is the posterior probability of this event. The model can be pre-trained without a surrogate for fully in-context BO,…

    Feedback Without the Wait: Piloting a Generative AI Practice Platform in a Large Maths Class

    Lili Chen, Gavin Buskes, Yuxin Ren, Chin Tong Leong

    Timely and specific feedback is one of the strongest influences on student learning, yet it is difficult to sustain in large electrical engineering classes where the ratio of students to demonstrators is high and a learner who is stuck may wait days to find out why an approach was wrong. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) offers a way to scale conversational feedback, but using it to grade assessed work raises trust and accountability concerns, and keeping a human in the loop to assure its judgements reintroduces the very delay that erodes the value of feedback. The result is a tension between the immediacy that makes feedback so impactful and the human oversight that makes it trustworthy. In this work, we set out to resolve that tension in practice by designing and piloting a GenAI practice platform that delivers immediate, scaffolded feedback during self-directed practice. This relocates human oversight from real-time grading to the upfront verification of solutions. Our goal was to understand how students engaged with the tool, how they perceived the value and reliability of its feedback, and what lessons transfer to other engineering subjects.

    PROMO: Preference-conditioned Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning for Quadrupedal Robots

    Amr Mousa, Rifny Rachman, Neil Karavis, Michele Caprio, Richard Allmendinger

    Quadrupedal locomotion requires balancing conflicting objectives such as command tracking, stability, and energy efficiency, yet conventional reinforcement learning (RL) hardcodes these priorities into a fixed scalar reward at training time. We present PROMO (Preference-Conditioned Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning), a semantic multi-objective approach that makes this trade-off an explicit runtime input to a single locomotion policy. PROMO conditions the policy on deployment facing preferences while keeping embodiment-specific locomotion priors fixed, thereby separating operator intent from reward shaping terms required for viable gait generation. Compared with fixed-objective controllers, multi-objective baselines, and independently trained specialists, PROMO achieves objective specialization and robustness from a single deployable policy. Across 100 sampled preferences in simulation, 67 behaviors are non-dominated under exact Pareto dominance, with a mean preference-objective correlation of 0.843, demonstrating broad Pareto coverage and predictable preference response. The same policy transfers zero-shot to a Unitree Go2, where preference changes alone reduce specific…

    Science Utopia? Closed-Loop LLM Simulation of Academic Research Ecosystems

    Yiqiao Jin, Yiyang Wang, Lucheng Fu, Bing He, Siheng Xiong +6

    Scientific progress emerges from a longitudinal ecosystem in which researchers, institutions, funding agencies, collaboration networks, and the scientific literature co-evolve. As AI becomes increasingly involved throughout the scientific research cycle, understanding these interconnected and evolving processes becomes increasingly important. We introduce SciUtopia, a persistent, closed-loop LLM-agent simulation framework for studying academic research ecosystems. SciUtopia models interconnected scientific processes such as research-direction choice, collaboration, submission, peer review, resubmission, citation, funding, and researcher attrition, while maintaining evolving states across simulated years. Its configurable institutional mechanisms and information channels provide a controlled testbed for matched counterfactual experiments and targeted interventions. Across 61 simulation worlds, SciUtopia simulates over 40,000 researchers from 8,000 institutions, producing around 400,000 publication decisions and 1.2 million LLM-generated peer reviews. Using these longitudinal simulations, we find that rejection-driven resubmission substantially amplifies reviewer burden beyond…

    Fine-Grained Emotion Classification from Mobile App Reviews: An Empirical Study with Large Language Models

    Quim Motger, Carlota Catot, Marc Oriol

    Context: Fine-grained emotion classification of mobile app reviews enables requirements engineering activities that go beyond polarity-based opinion mining, including emotionally informed issue prioritisation and feature-oriented feedback analysis. However, automatic fine-grained emotion extraction from app reviews remains understudied. Objectives: Building on a previously published annotation framework and human-labelled ground truth adapted from Plutchik's taxonomy, this paper investigates how large language models can be leveraged for automatic multi-label emotion classification under severe class imbalance. Methods: We compare encoder-only fine-tuning under multi-label and binary-ensemble formulations, decoder-only zero- and few-shot prompting across open-source and proprietary models, and a catalogue of imbalance mitigation strategies (loss reweighting, resampling, generative data augmentation), with the synthetic-review generator and prompting strategy selected via an intrinsic augmentation-utility ranking. Results: Fine-tuned encoders trail the best decoder-only few-shot prompting (macro-F1 0.642) by a wide margin at baseline (multi-label: 0.387; binary ensemble: 0.450);…

    DeFA: Dependency-Guided Failure Attribution for LLM Agents

    Bo Deng, Xinlei Zheng, Yi Wei, Kang Zhou, Chongyang Tao +4

    Errors in LLM agent executions and their visible consequences can be separated by many steps, making decisive-error localization a matter of understanding both step content and step dependencies. We introduce DeFA, a dependency-guided framework for agent failure attribution. DeFA first combines protocol relations and semantic dependencies into an event dependency graph spanning the trajectory. It then identifies events that may violate task requirements and traces their sources and subsequent effects to construct a failure propagation graph. Finally, DeFA uses step evidence and the steps' roles in failure propagation to identify the decisive error, responsible agent, and error category. To support long trajectories, DeFA partitions executions into segments and combines the current segment's detailed content with summaries of the other segments, giving local diagnosis access to global execution context. Across Who and When and the Who and When Pro text subset, DeFA achieves the highest responsible-agent and exact step accuracy with all evaluated backbones, and the highest failure-mode accuracy among taxonomy-aligned methods on Pro. Further experiments on image and video…

    Context-Aware Error Mitigation Orchestration for Hybrid Quantum Reinforcement Learning on NISQ Systems

    Bisma Majid, Shabir Ahmed Sofi, Mir Mohammad Yousuf

    Quantum Reinforcement Learning (QRL) integrates reinforcement learning with parameterized quantum circuits and is a promising approach to combinatorial optimization. On Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices, however, decoherence, gate imperfections, and measurement errors reduce policy quality and make learning less reliable. Existing error mitigation techniques are generally applied as fixed corrections that do not adapt to changing noise conditions or to the evolving state of training. This work presents Adaptive Policy-Guided Error Mitigation (APGEM) as a context-aware orchestration layer of the hybrid quantum-classical training loop that dynamically selects the most suitable mitigation strategy during QRL training. APGEM evaluates Zero-Noise Extrapolation (ZNE), Probabilistic Error Cancellation (PEC), Clifford Data Regression (CDR), and Readout Error Mitigation (REM) using policy-level indicators, including quantum-state fidelity, policy entropy, cumulative reward, and approximation ratio, and integrates the selected strategy directly into the reinforcement learning loop. The framework is evaluated on the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), a representative…

    Revision-Aware Independent Agent Graphs for Dynamic Reasoning

    Yan Luo, Selim-Antoine Lali, Jeremy Moebel, Iliass Khoutaibi, Ahmadou Aidara +1

    Conventional reasoning protocols present a fixed, preselected task, so they cannot test whether an agent propagates relevant updates, preserves unaffected work, or reconstructs a historical task binding. We therefore study \emph{dynamic task routing}, in which an event stream revises task bindings and a system must select the document version valid at each query time before solving it. To study this problem, we repurpose six widely used benchmarks: MMLU, MMLU-Pro, MedMCQA, MATH, GPQA, and HumanEval into 31{,}119 dynamic episodes comprising 373{,}428 temporally categorized queries. This setting exposes a central trade-off: recomputing after every event wastes work, whereas unguarded reuse returns stale conclusions. We introduce the Revision-Aware Independent Agent Graph (RIAG), a bounded multi-agent policy that separates deterministic temporal resolution from task reasoning. RIAG caches solutions by immutable document identity, starts each fresh task with two unexposed attempts, and conditionally invokes audit and repair, using at most four calls per document version. On this collection, homogeneous RIAG achieves 54.24\% joint routing-and-answer accuracy at 0.62 calls/query,…

    Right Answers, Wrong States: Hidden Information Failures in Multi-Agent Collaboration

    Herun Wan, Jiaying Wu, Minnan Luo, Zihan Ma, Fanxiao Li +2

    Multi-agent systems are often judged by whether they reach the correct answer. This can miss a distinct failure: collaboration may leave behind a corrupted information state even when the immediate decision is correct. We call this an off-query failure. To study this failure in collaborative decision support, we introduce OffQuery, which separately evaluates evidence verification (T1), shared-state reconstruction (T2), and task resolution (T3) in two representative high-stakes settings: healthcare and disaster response. Across GPT, Gemini, and Qwen models, standard collaboration shows much stronger task performance than state reliability. Averaged over 21 model--setting combinations, task resolution reaches 64.7%, while evidence verification and state reconstruction reach only 14.3% and 43.1%. We trace this gap to selective information use: current queries often bypass corrupted facts, which become consequential when later tasks require them. We further introduce ReGround, which resolves conflicting evidence, verifies shared facts, reconstructs a trusted state, and reasons over that state. Across seven models from three families, ReGround improves all three capabilities in every…

    When the Judge Acts: Auditing VLM-Guided Image Selection on Culturally Situated Prompts

    Huichan Seo

    Vision-language models (VLMs) increasingly act as judges that pick the best of several generated images, so their choices decide what users see. Such judges are usually validated by score agreement with human ratings, not by the images they return. We audit VLM judges as decision-makers: on 300 culturally situated prompts, we compare the returned image with human ratings the judge never sees and with random choice from the same candidates, and repeat every decision with the candidates reordered. A 4B-parameter judge barely beats random and falls short of a CLIP similarity baseline. It picks the first image shown in 49% of calls (chance: 28%), and reordering changes its choice on 60% of prompts. For this judge, agreement across orders is informative: decisions that survive reordering are much better than random, whereas agreement with a weaker second judge keeps the wrong ones. An 8B judge shows almost no position bias and outperforms CLIP, yet for it the same filter mostly discards good decisions. Agreement helps only when it targets the judge's failure mode, so filters must be re-audited whenever the judge changes. The 4B judge's slight rise in stereotype ratings is no longer…

    Evaluating the Robustness of Japanese LLMs to IME-Related and Typographical Errors

    Ryota Mibayashi, Hiroaki Ohshima

    Large language models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance across various natural language processing tasks. However, their robustness to typographical errors remains underexplored, particularly in Japanese, where text input involves multiple writing systems and IME-based conversion. In this study, we evaluate the robustness of Japanese LLMs against realistic Japanese-specific typos. We introduce five typo categories: Character Transposition, Character Replacement, Homophone Conversion, Japanese IME Conversion, and Full-Width Conversion. These perturbations are applied to three Japanese benchmark datasets (JMMLU, JCommonsenseQA, and JamC-QA), and eleven Japanese and multilingual LLMs are evaluated. The results show that Character Transposition and Character Replacement typos consistently reduce accuracy across benchmarks, whereas IME Conversion, Full-Width Conversion, and Homophone Conversion have relatively limited impact. These findings reveal that current Japanese LLMs remain vulnerable to realistic Japanese typing errors, particularly those that substantially distort the original input, highlighting the importance of robustness evaluation in practical input environments.

    Mixture-Trained Merging for Unified Multi-Objective Models

    SeongHyeon Kim, Chaeyun Jang, Seungyoo Lee, Jiyeon Ham, Yunju Bak +2

    Unified language models are increasingly expected to combine heterogeneous capabilities, such as mathematics, code, instruction following, and controllable thinking behavior, within a single set of parameters. A common solution is sequential post-training on multiple objectives, but this entangles all objectives along one optimization trajectory and makes the final model highly sensitive to training order, data ratios, schedules, and stopping criteria. Weight-space merging offers a modular alternative, but naive merging of single-objective experts often fails: domain capabilities degrade sharply, or think/non-think modes collapse into one dominant behavior. We attribute both failures to incompatible weight-space geometry: experts trained on single objectives drift to distant regions of parameter space, placing their interpolations outside any shared low-loss basin. We propose Mixture-Trained Merging (MTM), which trains each branch on an objective-biased data mixture rather than a single objective, exposing it to cross-objective interactions and making branches compatible at merge time. MTM uses merged-model evaluations as a low-cost signal for selecting branch mixtures, avoiding…
