    An Invariant Tangent-Angle Descriptor and a Band U-Net for 2D Fragment Adjacency Prediction

    Guillaume Brouillette, Alain Goupil, Pierre-Olivier Parisé, Fadel Touré

    This paper addresses the prediction of adjacency between pairs of 2D fragments based on their contours. We improved the two-stage architecture proposed in Beaulac's thesis, in which a rotation-equivariant Siamese convolutional neural network scores pairs of local image windows along the two contours of two fragments. The scores are gathered in an adjacency matrix in which a ResNet detects the partial anti-diagonal band that reveals the adjacency of two fragments. In the current work, we keep the pipeline and replace the local score by a comparison of tangent-angle profiles of contour windows, making it, by construction, invariant to fragment rotation and agnostic to the selected contour-starting point. These adaptations may be either a training-free likelihood ratio or a small one-dimensional convolutional model trained on corresponding points. We also replaced the final classifier by a band U-Net that segments the band and classifies the pair, so that the shared arc is obtained along with the decision. In the synthetic data set of the original thesis, the tangent descriptor performs as well as or better than the image-window approach in all tested configurations. The proposed…

    Right Number, Wrong State? Measuring Cross-Jurisdiction Substitution in LLM Recall of State Policy

    Jiayu Feng

    When an LLM answers a state-specific policy question wrongly, it may be hallucinating, or it may be returning a real value that holds in another state. We test this with a minimal-set design: the question wording is fixed and only the jurisdiction varies, across the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia (51 jurisdictions) and three exactly defined Medicaid income-eligibility quantities. Gold values come from an official data book and agree with an independent source in 101 of 102 checked cells. Under a pre-registered protocol, Claude Sonnet 5.5 and GPT-5.6 Sol reproducibly give another state's current value, identical across two independent repeats, for 10 and 25 of 153 items. The count depends on the reference set: crediting any wrong answer that equals another state's value yields 3-5x more reproducible substitutions than checking every number in the asked state's own records, because many apparent cross-state answers are the asked state's own values under another convention or from an earlier year. Claims about cross-jurisdiction error need a complete same-state reference set. We will release the protocol, gold table, and all model outputs.

    DSReg: Provably Recovering Individual World Latents without Reconstruction

    Yujia Zheng, David Klindt, Randall Balestriero, Bernhard Schölkopf

    Methods that recover individual latent variables of the world, from nonlinear ICA to dictionary learning and causal representation learning, anchor the latents to observations through reconstruction, auxiliary supervision, or distributional asymmetries such as non-Gaussianity. Methods without these anchors, including joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs), identify the latent state only up to a linear transformation, so individual latents remain mixed. We close this gap: individual world latents can be provably recovered with no reconstruction, no decoder, and no labels. The key condition is Structural Diversity: different latents leave distinct dependency footprints on observations, just as no two snowflakes are alike. Building on the linear identifiability that LeJEPA provides, we prove that under Structural Diversity, DSReg (Dependency-Sparsity Regularization) recovers individual world latents up to signed permutation, without reconstruction or a decoder. It applies post hoc to any linearly identified representation, reusing trained checkpoints at no loss over joint training, and establishes the first fully identifiable JEPA that recovers every world latent.…

    GeoPrior-Mamba: Structured Process Priors with Mamba for Fine-Resolution XCO2 Reconstruction

    Zhao Meng, Yinan Cai, Siru Zhong, Juepeng Zheng, Haohuan Fu

    Reconstructing fine-resolution column-averaged dry-air CO2 (XCO2) fields from sparse satellite observations requires models to infer spatial structure that is only weakly constrained by direct measurements. Existing learning-based methods typically treat environmental covariates as ordinary numerical inputs and must therefore learn heterogeneous source-sink relationships largely from sparse supervision. We introduce GeoPrior-Mamba, a multi-directional Mamba framework augmented with offline language-model-induced structured process priors. Rather than using a language model to predict XCO2, we use it before training to organize relative process knowledge for biospheric uptake, ecosystem respiration, and anthropogenic emissions into deterministic prior tables. These priors are spatially instantiated using geographic, ecological, emission-related, and seasonal information and are adaptively injected into the reconstruction backbone through a lightweight knowledge adapter. Using OCO-2 observations from 2018-2020, GeoPrior-Mamba achieves an RMSE of 0.81 ppm and an R2 of 0.93 on held-out observations, reducing RMSE by 48.2% relative to CAMS background interpolation and by 3.1% relative…

    RLHND: Video Foundation Models as Physically Grounded Hand Trackers for Robot Learning

    Seungjun Moon, Subin Jeon, Sangwoo Kim, Hanbyul Joo, Jinwoo Shin

    Recently, approaches that leverage human video datasets for robot policy training have become increasingly prevalent. However, most existing hand trackers regress pose from cropped frames with limited priors on hand motion and object interaction, resulting in inaccurate and physically inconsistent estimates. Moreover, the lack of physical cues, e.g., contact and force, limits the use of human videos for robot policy training. To this end, we propose RLHND, a video foundation model-based hand tracking model that jointly estimates hand pose and realistic tactile information from monocular egocentric videos. RLHND turns the pre-trained Cosmos 3 video diffusion backbone into a deterministic clip-level feature extractor via clean-latent conditioning, carrying its learned priors on hand motion and hand-object interaction into tracking. For pose estimation, RLHND (i) predicts hand poses with anatomically plausible joint angles and (ii) enables optional conditioning on the shape parameter to maintain consistent hand shape within the same video and even across videos recorded by the same actor. For tactile estimation, a separate tactile expert stream, trained with the pose stream frozen,…

    Iris-3B: Going Beyond the Latent with Pixel-Space Diffusion Training, Conversion and Fine-Tuning

    Hanqiu Li Cai, Chema Garabito

    Pixel-space diffusion models avoid the lossy VAE of latent models, which suggests an advantage on downstream tasks where fine-grained detail matters. We test this claim along both routes to a pixel-space backbone. We pretrain Iris-3B, a 3B-parameter pixel-space text-to-image transformer, from scratch through a $256\to512\to1024$ curriculum, after first ablating the prediction target and representation alignment at $256^2$ to decide what to scale. We also convert a pretrained latent model, FLUX.2 Klein base 4B, to pixel space. We fine-tune both families for monocular depth estimation and for image restoration/super-resolution. We find no significant improvement from using a pixel-space generative prior. Fine-tuned for depth with one matched direct-regression recipe, Iris-3B is level with the latent FLUX.2 Klein and the converted pixel FLUX.2 Klein falls behind it, and on $4\times$ DIV2K restoration neither pixel model beats a latent FLUX.2 Klein fine-tune, the converted one trailing it slightly. We document the recipes, the failure modes and the remaining confounds behind this negative result. Nevertheless, Iris-3B shows that pixel-space pretraining with the pixel-transformer…

    From Global Alignment to Local Grounding: Zero-Shot Chinese Character Recognition with Radical Verification

    Yu-Heng Shih, Bing-Chen Wu, Tsz-To Wong, Ting-En Yen, Hong-Han Shuai +4

    Zero-shot Chinese character recognition (ZS-CCR) aims to recognize characters whose categories are never observed during training, and typically relies on the compositional structure shared between seen and unseen characters. Recent CLIP-style methods represent this structure with the Ideographic Description Sequence (IDS) and align it with glyph images in a shared embedding space. However, they rely on a single global image--IDS similarity that discards the spatial layout of radicals and, being learned only implicitly from seen classes, generalizes poorly to unseen ones; moreover, global matching often retrieves the correct character within the top candidates yet fails to rank it first when characters differ only in subtle local radicals. To address these issues, we propose a global-to-local two-stage framework. In the first stage, STG-CLIP augments the IDS with explicit tree-position and radical-level geometric priors, yielding a spatial-aware prototype that provides a consistent spatial description across seen and unseen categories for high-recall global retrieval. In the second stage, the Radical Verification Module (RVM) uses the radical instances of each retrieved candidate…

    Arctic Questions, Missing Answers: A Dataset and Benchmark for LLM Abstention in Arctic Science

    Benjamin Wilcox, Dawei Gao, Pradeeban Kathiravelu, Douglas Causey, Kewei Sha +1

    Large language models (LLMs) should abstain from scientific multiple-choice questions when no option is valid, but frequent abstention alone does not demonstrate sensitivity to answer availability. We introduce ArcticQA, a dataset of 194 questions derived from primary Arctic research, with automated checks of answer support and distractor contradiction against source evidence. We further develop ArcticAbstain, a paired benchmark comparing answer-present and answer-absent conditions, with the correct answer replaced by a distractor in the latter and an explicit abstention option in both. We evaluate eight models from the Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT families at high reasoning effort, with three trials per condition, yielding 9,312 recorded responses. Answer-present abstention rates range from 0.0% to 63.0%, whereas replacing the correct answer increases abstention by 5.05 percentage points on average. These findings highlight substantial baseline differences and the need to evaluate abstention frequency and responsiveness jointly. The dataset and benchmark are available at https://github.com/BenWilcox8/arctic-qa.

    LighTROcc: Lightweight 4D Occupancy Forecasting via Instance-Centric 3D Gaussians

    Hwanhee Jung, SeungHyeon Kim, Inkyu Koo, Qixing Huang, Sang Ho Yoon +1

    Forecasting future 3D occupancy from surround-view cameras is essential for autonomous driving, yet existing approaches rely on dense voxel or bird's-eye-view representations whose cost grows rapidly with spatial resolution and prediction horizon. Because these representations do not explicitly maintain object identities, they also struggle to preserve instance consistency over time. We present LighTROcc, a lightweight instance-centric framework that represents movable objects with a compact set of learned queries and predicts present and future occupancy in a single forward pass. LighTROcc localizes each query through attention-guided forward lifting, combining image-space cross-attention, query-specific depth, and camera geometry to estimate its 3D center. Each instance is modeled as a mixture of anisotropic 3D Gaussians and propagated across future steps using predicted displacements, producing continuous, temporally consistent occupancy forecasts. Experiments on nuScenes and supplemented nuScenes-Occupancy show that LighTROcc outperforms the evaluated dense and instance-wise baselines in instance-level forecasting accuracy while maintaining strong voxel-level occupancy…

    TIRA: Tumor Immune Representation Adaptation for Zero-Shot Cross-Cancer MSI and TMB Prediction

    Dasari Naga Raju

    Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and high tumor mutational burden (TMB-H) are clinically relevant biomarkers, yet their histopathological prediction remains challenging when models are transferred across morphologically distinct cancer types. Immune-associated spatial patterns can persist across cancers despite these morphological differences, but foundation-model-based predictors trained on a single cancer do not explicitly use this information, limiting cross-cancer generalization. To address this limitation, we propose TIRA (Tumor Immune Representation Adaptation), a target-free framework that refines frozen foundation-model representations using spatial immune topology, without requiring target-domain data during model development or test-time adaptation. TIRA uses a topology-supervised biology representation to condition tile-level attention while pooling only morphological features for joint MSI and TMB prediction. We train TIRA on TCGA-COAD+READ and evaluate it zero-shot on CPTAC-COAD, TCGA-STAD, TCGA-UCEC, and CPTAC-UCEC, covering cross-site, cross-cancer, and combined cross-cancer-site distribution shifts under UNI2, CONCH, and Virchow2. With UNI2, TIRA improved…

    Mixture of Layers: Dynamic Layer Routing for Visual Reasoning

    Jeonghwan Kim, Sofia Stoica, Jiwan Chung, Ansel Blume, Hyeonjeong Ha +3

    Pre-trained vision encoders contain layer-wise visual representations that differ in spatial granularity, semantic abstraction, and sensitivity to local details. However, most Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) rely on only the final or penultimate vision encoder representations or fixed aggregation rules, making visual abstraction largely query-agnostic and limiting access to fine-grained cues such as small objects, spatial details, text, and subtle visual attributes. In this work, we propose Mixture of Layers (MoL), an instruction-conditioned layer routing approach at the visual patch level that dynamically aggregates query-relevant latent representations from intermediate vision encoder layers. Given a text query, MoL predicts routing probabilities over vision encoder layers and performs a top-k sparse aggregation over selected hidden states at either the image level, patch level, or through a hybrid routing mechanism. In doing so, MoL enables query-adaptive access to layer-specific visual features for fine-grained visual reasoning. Our experiments across 7 fine-grained visual reasoning tasks demonstrate substantial performance improvements, especially across…

    InscriptionOCR: A Dataset and Method for Understanding Inscriptions

    Jaidev Sanjay Khalane, Akbar Ali, V. N. Prabhakar, Shanmuganathan Raman

    Ancient script image restoration is a fundamental problem in computer vision, as it directly affects the reliable analysis and interpretation of historical documents and inscriptions. Ashokan Brahmi is an ancient script extensively used during the reign of Emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BC, primarily for inscriptions in Prakrit. These inscriptions, including major and minor rock and pillar edicts, constitute a valuable yet largely unexplored source of data for computational analysis. The degraded nature of inscription imagery and the lack of standardized digital resources pose significant challenges for automated processing. We present an end-to-end AI-based framework for understanding ancient inscriptions that encompasses image enhancement, optical character recognition (OCR), transliteration, and neural machine translation (NMT). The proposed pipeline processes low-quality images captured directly from stone inscriptions, performs image restoration and Brahmi script character recognition, maps the recognized characters to the Roman script, and finally translates the resulting Prakrit text into English. We also introduce two new datasets: (i) InscriptionOCR Dataset: the…

    Controllable Crowd Generation through World-Model Planning

    JunGyu Lee, Jisu Shin, Seunghyun Shin, Hae-Gon Jeon

    Crowd simulation plays a central role in robot navigation, autonomous driving, and urban planning. For these applications, realistic simulation requires crowds to adapt their behavior to environmental changes and user objectives. However, existing methods that rely on predefined control settings have limited flexibility in accommodating new user-specified objectives. To address this limitation, we propose Ctrl-CWM, a multi-agent Controllable Crowd World Model that integrates crowd generation and run-time control. Our key idea is to adapt the world-model principle of planning using imagined futures to crowd simulation. To this end, Ctrl-CWM consists of an encoder that learns a representation of human motion dynamics, an actor that proposes pedestrian displacements, a critic that evaluates imagined crowd trajectories, and a planner that selects actions. We first learn human motion dynamics through trajectory prediction on real-world pedestrian videos and then freeze the encoder to preserve them. Using this representation, the actor generates imagined crowd trajectories through repeated state updates, and the planner combines the critic's scores with user costs to select actions.…

    An extended deep energy method for thermo-mechanical crack propagation

    Han Zhang, Mehrisadat Makki Alamdari, Babak Shahbodagh, Mohammad Vahab, Cosmin Anitescu +2

    Thermo-mechanical fracture couples transient heat conduction on a cracked domain with a crack that grows as the temperature and the displacement evolve. Neural energy solvers have been proposed for phase-field fracture and later extended to represent a sharp crack through the network input, but heat conduction on the cracked domain and crack propagation under the resulting thermal stresses have not yet been treated together in these solvers. We present an extended deep energy method for thermo-mechanical crack propagation in which the crack remains a sharp polyline. Two networks represent the temperature and the displacement and receive the crack through a scalar embedding function, discontinuous across the crack and smooth elsewhere, so that both fields can jump across it without a regularization length, and the displacement is enriched near the tip by the Williams expansion with trainable amplitudes. The two fields are obtained by minimizing an incremental conduction functional and the thermoelastic potential energy in a staggered sequence, with Monte Carlo integration on points stratified over background elements, densified near the tip and redrawn during training. The stress…

    SkillCycle: Co-Evolving Agent Policies and Skill Banks

    Ling Li, Qiuyu Shen, Zheng Jiang, Qinwei Ma, Yuxuan Liu +1

    Internalizing external skills changes a language agent's capabilities and, with them, the value of its remaining guidance: rules can become redundant, misleading, or insufficient for newly encountered decisions. This creates a coupled problem of learning from skills and adapting the skills that supervise further learning. We introduce SkillCycle, a framework for co-evolving agent policies and skill banks through a feedback loop between skill internalization and rule revision. Our central contribution is to give distillation feedback a second role: token-level contextual differences help locate rules for inspection, while interaction outcomes guide edits to their content and applicability. SkillCycle alternates between two phases: policy learning with a fixed skill bank and router, and rule revision with a frozen policy. Candidate edits undergo rule-level and whole-bank environment comparisons before they guide the next learning cycle. On WebShop, SkillCycle with a 3B model achieves a success rate of 74.74% and a score of 88.37 without inference-time skill inputs, representing relative improvements of 0.73% and 3.96% over the state-of-the-art (SOTA) model, respectively. In Cycle 3…

    Event-Aligned Visual Action Reasoning for World Action Models

    Xiaomeng Yang, Yushu Wu, Yi Gao, Yuhao Lei, Xuan Zhang +2

    World-Action Models (WAMs) utilize future visual prediction as an intermediate reasoning process to guide action generation. However, existing WAMs typically structure visual imagination according to predefined temporal intervals, without explicitly accounting for the different roles of task-critical interactions and connecting transitions. We argue that effective visual foresight should align directly with task-relevant interactions and their corresponding reasoning demands. To this end, we introduce an event-aligned visual action reasoning framework that organizes visual-action prediction around interaction events. Through event-aligned visual-action supervision, WAM learns to generate event-aligned visual context in each imagined rollout, placing greater emphasis on critical state changes that inform action generation. This shapes the visual reasoning granularity according to the underlying interaction dynamics, with detailed reasoning around task-critical events and coarser progression through connecting transitions. Furthermore, we introduce an execution validity head that identifies the valid portion of each predicted action sequence, avoiding redundant actions during…

    RSI-Forge: From Research Papers to Environments for Recursive Self-Improvement

    Renxiong Wang, Darvin Yi, Abril Herrlein, Anas Mahmoud, Advait Gosai +14

    Environments are the foundation of recursive self-improvement: they provide the problems agents work on and the feedback used to evaluate progress. Yet constructing challenging research environments with reliable evaluation still depends on domain experts, limiting their scale and disciplinary coverage. We introduce RSI-Forge, a multi-agent pipeline that turns published papers into executable environments for self-improvement. Three agents coordinate construction, reproduction, and review to produce tasks with automated evaluators; each paper's method is independently reimplemented to establish a baseline score. We present 210 environments across 18 fields, including 90 reviewed by independent human domain experts. Both experts and agent judges give high ratings to the potential for improving the provided starting solutions and the evaluators' ability to distinguish solution quality, whereas experts are more critical of shortcut resistance, faithfulness to the source paper, and whether a single idea can exhaust a task. To validate their use for repeated improvement, we evaluate four models over 3 successive attempts on 120 environments, with each attempt inheriting prior code and…

    What a Reporting Convention Hides: A Matched-Budget Audit of Quantum Natural Gradient with an Exactly Computed Metric

    Lu Wei, Yufeng Wang, Haibin Ling

    Several published comparisons of variational quantum optimizers time only runs that reach a target loss, or read the verdict at a single target. Either convention could decide whether an optimizer's costlier steps pay off. We measure how much each convention changes verdicts among Adam, simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) and quantum natural gradient (QNG), on initializations held out from the selection of settings. We compute the exact metric that preconditions QNG, price every step in circuit evaluations and give every method the same budget. In a median pooled over circuit widths, cost families and a sweep of settings with common misses, SPSA needs more than twice Adam's evaluations to reach a loose target. Dropping the censored runs that miss the target hides this gap. On the global-cost family we hold fixed the settings selected for a strict target. QNG then usually reaches the loose target after Adam but the strict target first. QNG's strict-target lead disappears when the metric's simulator price, linear in the number of parameters, is replaced by an assumed hardware count quadratic in that number. We recommend charging every miss the budget and…

    Democratizing MoE inference on commodity GPUs with CoMoE

    Ruwen Fan, Yuezhi Zu, Minhui Xie, Junru Li, Qingda Hu +4

    Deploying Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models relies heavily on Expert Parallelism, which generates intense inter-GPU communication. Consequently, state-of-the-art inference systems require high-bandwidth, P2P interconnects (e.g., NVLink) in datacenter GPUs to handle massive token routing, making deployment prohibitively expensive. Consumer GPUs offer comparable compute power at significantly lower cost, promising to democratize MoE inference for individuals and enable privacy-preserving local deployments. However, their bandwidth-limited (only weak PCIe bus bandwidth) and host-mediated interconnects (no P2P support) introduce severe communication bottlenecks. We present CoMoE, a communication-efficient MoE inference system that resolves this mismatch through novel host-centric routing. Our key insight is that the unique communication topology provides the opportunity to elevate the host to an active routing hub, which can fundamentally reduce communication volume and eliminate global synchronization-induced stalls. Specifically, for token dispatch, we introduce host-backed token multicast to write shared tokens to the host exactly once, eliminating outbound transmission redundancy.…

    Spatial Latent Reasoning for Embodied Reference Understanding

    Ling Li, Jianhui Zhong, Wei Liu, Zheng Jiang aand Yuxuan Liu, Jingyu Li +1

    Pointing-gesture visual grounding requires connecting hand geometry with the visual identity and extent of a referred object. A central challenge for continuous latent reasoning is how to organize these complementary cues into useful intermediate supervision. We propose Spatial Latent Reasoning (SLR), a framework that structures this supervision around an ordered sequence of geometric and visual states. A spatial ray state is supervised by fingertip position and pointing direction, followed by four states aligned with target-region features. To construct the visual targets, we introduce parity pooling, which applies polyphase grouping to average region tokens on four interleaved spatial supports. All states are generated recurrently during training and inference; auxiliary annotations are required only during training. On EgoPoint-Ground, the framework improves mIoU over same-backbone supervised fine-tuning by 2.8, 17.5, and 21.1 percentage points on Qwen3.5-4B, Qwen2.5-VL-7B, and Qwen3-VL-8B, respectively, with improvements on both hard subsets. On YouRefIt, it achieves 77.6% precision at IoU 0.5, a numerical margin of 5.2 percentage points over the reported state of the art…
