  SafeStyle: Calibrated Style Residual Injection for Controllable Style-Leakage Trade-off in Diffusion Stylization

  Zhangping Yang, Min Li, Song Yan, Rong Gao, Xinliang Bi +2

  Reference-guided diffusion stylization aims to transfer visual style from a reference image while preserving the semantics specified by a text prompt. However, image conditioning often entangles transferable style cues with reference-specific content, leading to an inherent trade-off: stronger conditioning improves style fidelity but increases content leakage, whereas aggressive suppression reduces leakage at the cost of style expression. This challenge is further complicated by the distinct spatial organization of texture- and geometry-dominant styles. To address these issues, we propose SafeStyle, a training-free framework for calibrated style residual injection in frozen diffusion models. SafeStyle first estimates style-supported and content-associated subspaces from compact calibration sets, preserving their informative overlap while suppressing useless content variations. It then transports the purified style evidence over adaptive spatial granularity and constrains its effective influence through an explicit residual-norm budget. Experiments across texture- and geometry-dominant styles show that SafeStyle achieves a DINO style similarity of 0.432 while maintaining…

  Multiclass Semantic Segmentation of Wildland Fire Images Using Context-Aware Centralized Copy-Paste Data Augmentation

  Joon Tai Kim, Nishanth Kunchala, Vishv Patel, Tianle Chen, Ziyu Dong +3

  Producing accurate annotations for deep learning based image segmentation is both costly and labor intensive. This challenge is especially evident in wildland fire applications, where accurately labeled datasets are scarce due to the difficulty of collecting and annotating dynamic fire scenes. To address this problem, our previous work introduced the Centralized Copy-Paste Data Augmentation (CCPDA) method for semantic segmentation of wildland fire imagery, which generates artificial training samples by randomly pasting fire clusters from source images onto target images. However, random placement can produce contextually unrealistic scenes, such as fire burning on asphalt. In this paper, we present a context-aware strategy designed specifically to improve data quality and realism in small multiclass wildland fire datasets, ensuring that augmented samples remain contextually meaningful. The proposed method restricts fire placement to semantically valid target regions and selects the location whose Ash-Vegetation composition most closely matches the source context. This approach preserves existing fire regions in the target image, prevents unrealistic placements, and maintains…

  Beyond Reference-Based Evaluation: Reward Models for Meta-Evaluation of Grammatical Error Correction

  Ruotian Wu, Bill E. Johnson, Gene Saunders, Osama Hamzeh, Ankit Vadehra +1

  Reference-based metrics for Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) such as M$^2$ and ERRANT assume that the reference set enumerates all valid edits, and therefore often penalize corrections that are grammatical and meaning-preserving but phrased differently. We introduce RM-EVAL, a reward model trained on human preference data from SEEDA, as a reference-free meta-evaluator that predicts human-like quality judgments at both full-sequence and partial-sequence levels. Beyond evaluation, we show that the same reward model can be used as a learning signal to improve GEC generation via Reward-Guided Text Generation (RGTG), which keeps a base GEC model frozen and performs online, reward-driven decoding. Across SEEDA, RM-EVAL achieves strong agreement with human rankings, and RGTG yields consistent gains in reward and external validation, demonstrating a unified framework for both assessing and enhancing GEC systems without relying on gold references.

  KnowDemo: Knowledge-Guided Robot Demonstration Generation from Human Videos

  Zhiyuan Gao, Yanxiang Zhan, Mohammad Khoshnazar, Jeroen Schäfer, Michael Beetz

  Learning robot manipulation policies typically requires substantial demonstration data, which are costly to collect on real robots. Recent methods generate robot demonstrations from human videos by adapting recovered motion and validating the resulting trajectories in simulation. However, methods centered on motion-reference adaptation can limit behavioral diversity by retaining the demonstrated contact strategies and subtask orders, while insufficient understanding of task requirements and scene relations can reduce demonstration generation efficiency by generating invalid candidates. To address these limitations, we propose KnowDemo, a framework that uses structured manipulation knowledge from human videos to generate diverse robot demonstrations for a target workspace. To distinguish task requirements from demonstration-specific choices, we develop a knowledge extraction and reasoning module based on a vision-language model (VLM) that associates object and action descriptions with inferred task conditions, demonstration references, and permissible execution variations. To translate this knowledge into executable demonstrations, we resolve the descriptions against target-scene…

  FOCAL-VLA: Subtask-Guided Geometry Distillation and Implicit World Modeling for Vision-Language-Action Models

  Zhiyuan Gao, Di Wen, Yanxiang Zhan, Mohammad Khoshnazar, Jeroen Schäfer +2

  Vision-language-action (VLA) models built on pretrained vision-language models have demonstrated strong performance across diverse robotic manipulation tasks. However, VLA models that directly map current 2D observations to actions often lack sufficient spatial and temporal understanding, limiting their performance in precise and long-horizon manipulation. Recent methods enhance VLA models through geometric supervision and future-state prediction across the entire scene. However, these methods can suffer from redundant scene information, distracting the model from learning the geometry and dynamics relevant to the current interaction. To address this issue, we propose FOCAL-VLA, a framework that combines subtask-guided geometry distillation with implicit world modeling to learn representations of current spatial structure and future interaction dynamics. To focus geometric learning on the current subtask, we transfer geometric knowledge from VGGT to the VLA model by aligning geometry latents with features from subtask-relevant image regions. To capture the future 3D evolution of the current interaction, we incorporate implicit world modeling using Track4World features from…

  Hallucination-R1: Robustness-Oriented Paraphrase Generation for Factual Consistency

  Wenhan Yu, Wenxin Wu, Hao Wang, Lei Sha

  Factual hallucination is commonly defined by incorrect factual outputs. We study a paraphrase-induced hallucination setting, where a model answers a factual question correctly in its original form but generates an incorrect answer under a semantically equivalent paraphrase. Such inconsistencies expose latent factual instability under semantic invariance. However, general-purpose paraphrases are often insufficient as robustness-oriented supervision: near-copy paraphrases provide weak signals, while overly diverse paraphrases may break semantic equivalence. In this paper, we propose HALLUCINATION-R1, a robustness-oriented paraphrase generation framework that learns to produce semantically faithful yet robustness-challenging paraphrases for factual consistency. Through two-stage optimization, it first stabilizes meaning-preserving and diverse paraphrasing, then rewards paraphrases that reveal factual consistency degradation in downstream QA models. Experiments on SimpleQuestions, PopQA, and TruthfulQA show that HALLUCINATION-R1 achieves a strong consistency--diversity trade-off and exposes robustness failures across multiple model families and datasets. Further analyses indicate…

  VGGT-CAD: Reconstructing Parametric CAD 3D Model with Geometric Grounding

  Chunan Yu, Tianrun Chen, Fu Shen, Cheng Chen, Lanyun Zhu +1

  Parametric CAD reconstruction requires recovering both precise geometry and editable modeling operations from visual observations, making it challenging under limited and ambiguous views. Existing methods mainly rely on 2D appearance cues and lack strong multi-view geometric priors. In this work, we present VGGT-CAD, a geometry-aware framework for parametric CAD reconstruction from single- and multi-view observations. We transfer pretrained 3D geometric priors into CAD reconstruction by encoding camera parameters as condition tokens and jointly modeling them with image tokens. To handle varying numbers of viewpoints, we introduce a variable-view cross-view context aggregation module that adaptively fuses multi-view features. We further develop a training-free geometry-aware view selection strategy to select complementary and reliable frames during inference. The resulting representation is decoded into CAD command sequences using a non-autoregressive decoder. We also develop VideoCAD, a large-scale multi-view video benchmark derived from existing CAD data through multi-view re-rendering. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of VGGT-CAD for visual CAD reconstruction…

  A Fully Differentiable Neuro-Soft-Symbolic Framework for Perceptual Task Planning

  Hongyan Wei, Wael AbdAlmageed

  Perceptual planning tasks require two key capabilities: accurately perceiving uncertain scenes and planning valid action sequences following logical rules. Conventional methods convert perception into discrete symbolic facts and then plan, discarding perceptual uncertainty and severing task-level feedback to perception. We introduce a generic, fully differentiable neuro-soft-symbolic framework that connects visual perception and task planning within a single computational graph. The framework maintains a continuous soft symbolic state, lifts domain rules into a differentiable soft-$T_P$ transition operator, and optimizes action logits over a short planning horizon. Gradients from the planning objective can also update the perception parameters, allowing task-relevant perceptual representations to be refined during planning. On Blocksworld, our method solves 40/40 LatPlan-40 tasks and 596/600 PlanBench-600 tasks, compared with 33/40 for LatPlan and 587/600 for the reasoning-model baseline, while requiring substantially less computation and time. In the perceptual-uncertainty ablation, our method improves the success rate from 59\% with frozen perception to 83\%. We further conduct…

  Multi-viewpoint Geo-localization with Event Cameras

  Adam D. Hines, Michael Milford, Tobias Fischer

  Robot localization is an ongoing challenge that demands mapping and positioning systems that are tolerant to viewpoint change. Event cameras are attracting increasing interest and adoption in robotics; however, dealing with viewpoint variance is an under-investigated problem in existing event-based localizers. In addition, event-based datasets that emphasize viewpoint variance for challenging localization situations are scarce. Here, we introduce an event-based visual place recognition (VPR) system that performs robustly under viewpoint changes. We converted five large-scale geo-tagged datasets, conventionally used to train frame-based localization systems, into synthetic event streams using Image-to-Event (I2E) conversion, and used them to fine-tune a pre-trained event-based vision transformer backbone with a multi-loss function, yielding a system we call MegaEvent that learns viewpoint-robust features for place recognition. We achieved an average Recall@1 of 82% across three existing event-based localization datasets, leading the next best event-based method by 20 recall points, and frame-based VPR models applied directly to event frames by 8 to 26 recall points. We introduce a…

  Fewer Steps, Better Actions: Rethinking Flow-Matching Inference for VLA Policies

  Zhipeng Tang, Xinda Chen, Weining Rao, Xiao Li, Wenting Tan +3

  Vision-language-action (VLA) policies based on flow matching generate action chunks through repeated evaluations of an action expert. Increasing the number of integration steps raises inference cost, but does not necessarily improve closed-loop success. We propose Coda, which reallocates part of this integration budget to a single learned endpoint correction. A frozen policy first completes a few-step noise-to-action trajectory; a lightweight Transformer then predicts a demonstration-supervised residual using the candidate action, source noise, and shared observation-prefix cache. Only the corrector is trained. On 50 RoboTwin Easy tasks, five-step Coda improves success from 71.64% to 74.68% over the matched five-step baseline, while reducing forward latency by 30.2% relative to the default ten-step policy. A two-step configuration achieves 71.88% success with a 2.12$\times$ speedup. An independent 13-task control shows a 5.69-percentage-point gain at nearly equal latency, supporting correction as an effective alternative to additional integration. The same design also improves frozen official SmolVLA, raising two-step success from 60.8% to 69.4%. These results show that endpoint…

  Ability-Residual Decoupled Modeling for Affective Cognitive Diagnosis

  Boyuan Zhao, Meng Ye

  Cognitive diagnosis infers students' concept mastery from response logs. However, students' responses are not determined by mastery alone: non-cognitive factors such as emotion, engagement, and fatigue can also affect performance. Affective cognitive diagnosis therefore extends conventional cognitive diagnosis by incorporating affective states. Existing methods often assume that the cognitive diagnosis backbone has already explained ability, item, and concept effects, so the remaining errors can be attributed mainly to affect. We argue that this assumption can be insufficient in real educational data: item calibration bias, systematic concept bias, personalized student-concept deviations, and latent student-item matching can form stable cognitive residuals. Without an explicit modeling pathway, these residuals may leak into affective representations, producing affect contamination. To address this problem, we propose an ability-residual decoupled framework for affective cognitive diagnosis. The model first captures unmodeled cognitive residuals through student, item, concept, student-concept, and low-rank student-item components, and then uses an affective module to modulate…

  Visual Navigation Transformer with Pose Attention

  Beiming Li, Jaime Romero, Jonathan Diller, Vijay Kumar, Alejandro Ribeiro

  Learned navigation policies typically consume observations as a temporally ordered history, with positional encodings tying each observation to when it was seen, making it difficult to reuse experience from earlier traversals of an environment. Systems that do reuse such experience usually construct an explicit representation, such as a map or a topological graph, and plan on it. We propose VNT-PA (Visual Navigation Transformer with Pose Attention), a transformer planner whose context is a set of depth keyframes indexed by camera pose. With camera poses as positional encoding, attention depends on the pose differences between keyframes rather than on their temporal order. VNT-PA is trained to imitate a shortest-path planner operating on the ground-truth scene mesh, predicting actions by querying the spatial context with only its current pose and the goal position. On point-goal navigation in HM3D validation scenes, VNT-PA reaches 93.3% success and 90.4% success weighted by path length (SPL), outperforming baselines that encode the same context as a temporal sequence or treat pose as an input feature, in both navigation performance and training efficiency. Because the spatial…

  Improving scoring functions for protein-protein docking with LambdaLoss

  Richard Zhu, Darren Xu, Lee-Shin Chu, Jeffrey J. Gray

  Modeling protein-protein interactions requires accurate scoring functions that can rank potential poses (conformations) of a protein-protein complex to differentiate near-native poses from incorrect ones. Here, we propose a general framework for improving protein-protein pose ranking and other biomolecular interaction models using the LambdaLoss loss function from the Learning-to-Rank field. We test this framework by fine-tuning the energy prediction head of DFMDock with the LambdaLoss on an augmented dataset of 2.9M decoy poses derived from the DIPS dataset. On targets from the CAPRI score set benchmark, our fine-tuned ranking model LambdaDockScore is better at identifying correct poses in its top-1 and top-5 predictions compared to EuDockScore, a state-of-the-art method. LambdaDockScore also improves upon baseline DFMDock ranking performance for scoring antibody-antigen complexes and protein-protein complexes with very large or small binding interfaces.

  Information-Gain Rewards over Diversity-Pruned Tests: GT-Anchored Verifier Co-Training for Reliable Code Generation

  Ana Nunez, Peyman Najafirad

  Self-play methods that co-train a single language model as both coder and test author promise to move code-generation RL beyond fixed test suites, but they suffer from two coupled pathologies: permissiveness collapse, where pass-rate rewards are maximised by trivial, non-discriminative tests, and concentration bias, where i.i.d. sampled tests cluster on modal inputs and inflate estimator variance. We introduce CoVer (Co-trained Coder and Verifier), a single-policy GRPO framework that addresses both failure modes. First, an information-gain (IG) reward scores each self-generated test by the mutual information between its pass/fail vector and a graded, ground-truth-anchored correctness signal y [0, 1] m, gated by the sign of their covariance so that only positively discriminative tests receive reward. Second, a three-stage diversity-aware selection step prunes a candidate pool to a behaviourally non-redundant suite (invalidity, input-string, execution-profile filtering), raising the effective sample size of the IG estimator at fixed execution budget. On five benchmarks (LiveBench, MBPP, LiveCodeBench, CodeContests, Code-Forces), CoVer raises one-shot pass@1 by +5.8 points at 7B and…

  Hand-Aware Transition Modeling for Bimanual Procedural Anomaly Detection

  Di Wen, Jimmy Weissert, Luc Maria Scherrer, Cedric Zöllner, Kailun Yang +5

  Procedural anomaly detection in bimanual assembly requires judging each hand action against the execution so far. A corrective action may look unusual in isolation, while a visually plausible action can violate the order of the procedure. We present HACT, a transition model over predicted per-hand events. A role-preserving history keeps the concurrent responsibilities of both hands, and a marked temporal point process assigns each observed transition a semantic and temporal surprisal. A supervised evidence head and a two-state filter convert these surprisals into per-hand anomaly posteriors. A recovery-aware protocol on predicted events and participant-disjoint folds reports the recovery false-positive rate at an operating point selected on validation participants. On two bimanual power-tool procedures HACT has the highest AUPRC and F1 among the compared methods and the fewest recovery alarms. Applied without retraining to a different assembly order of the same product, it retains the highest AUPRC and F1. The source code is available at https://github.com/Kratos-Wen/HACT.

  OnomatoBridge: Onomatopoeia Translation and Rendering Pipeline in Manga

  Takara Taniguchi, Wataru Shimoda, Kota Yamaguchi, Hideki Nakayama

  Manga is a comic drawn by black and white paints gaining popularity around the world. Onomatopoeia in Manga specifically appeals to the audience with its unique visual styles, which convey sound, motion, and emotion. Visual onomatopoeia translation requires the clean replacement of Japanese onomatopoeia with onomatopoeia in the other language while preserving their visual style. Existing approaches often produce residual artifacts or style inconsistency when removing the Japanese onomatopoeia and rendering stylized English onomatopoeia. To approach these problems, we present OnomatoBridge, a filtering pipeline for visual onomatopoeia translation. We evaluate OnomatoBridge from Japanese to English on the Manga109 onomatopoeia dataset and compare it with baseline image editing models. Experimental results show that the filtered outputs by the proposed method outperform those of conventional methods. OnomatoBridge improves English text correctness by roughly 10 to 25 points and reduces residual Japanese text by about 20 to 50% in relative terms.

  Reliability-Centered Evaluation of Sparse Longitudinal CT Lesion-Size Forecasting with Conformal Interval Calibration and Gompertz-Inspired Regularization

  Lingfei Kong

  Sparse longitudinal CT follow-up limits lesion-size forecasting when only a few prior observations are available. We constructed a five-visit DLT-derived same-lesion trajectory benchmark from DeepLesion and Deep Lesion Tracker (DLT), yielding 205 trajectories from 129 patients. We compared an exploratory conventional sparse-to-final analysis with a primary fixed visit-index horizon design predicting the common log change from T3 to T4 while progressively adding earlier observations, evaluating predictive accuracy, uncertainty reliability, post-hoc conformal interval calibration, subgroup performance, and Gompertz-inspired trajectory regularization. The evaluated methods showed partially overlapping point-prediction accuracy but distinct uncertainty behavior. Mean held-out RMSE across ten training seeds was 0.4726, 0.4305, 0.4499, and 0.4513 for m = 1, 2, 3, 4, indicating the lowest mean RMSE at m = 2; additional history did not improve RMSE. At m = 4, raw Cohort-Level Feature GP coverage was near the 95% nominal level, whereas MC Dropout, Deep Ensemble, and residual-scale intervals were conservative. Patient-level conformal calibration generally produced near-nominal or…

  AI-GRACE: A Use-Case Operationalization Framework for Agentic AI: From Organizational Objectives and Obligations to Deployment Capabilities and Architecture

  John Cuneo, David Chun, Gaurav Khanna

  Organizations deploying agentic artificial intelligence must determine more than whether a model is trustworthy; they must establish what to validate, control, and observe for a use case to deliver its intended outcome while meeting applicable obligations. This paper proposes AI-GRACE (Agentic Intelligence-Governance, Risk, Assurance, Controls, and Evidence) as a use-case operationalization framework connecting organizational governance with technical implementation. The proposal draws on professional observations and a purposive synthesis of standards and literature, using design science to frame the method contribution and situational method engineering to guide contextual tailoring and reuse. The framework establishes objectives and obligations and then assesses risks in seven proposed domains, including mission and value realization. It derives requirements for assurance before deployment, runtime controls, and evidence, which guide capability qualification, gap assessment, and a logical architecture. An Agent Operating Envelope specifies permitted actions and escalation conditions, while Risk-Aligned Independence Levels (RAIL) summarize the authorized independence. A…

  SWE-Proof: Can Language Models Resolve Real-World Issues with Machine-Checked Proofs?

  George Ma, Benjamin Mikek, Haoyu Li, Ferhat Erata, Yuhao Zhang +7

  Ensuring the correctness of LLM-generated code is a core challenge for modern software engineering. Benchmarks for agentic code generation check correctness with held-out test suites, which are inherently incomplete and increasingly susceptible to memorization. Formal verification avoids both problems, but existing work covers only standalone tasks whose specifications are given as input, not real issues, which touch large repositories and state intent in vague natural language. We present Benchproofer, a pipeline that turns a coding task with a known correct patch into a formally verified one: it writes a specification for the new code, summarizes the existing functions that code calls with axioms, and admits an instance only after mechanical and adversarial gates agree. Applying it to SWE-bench Verified yields SWE-Proof, 500 real issues whose correctness is formally verified rather than tested, and it extends to SWE-bench Pro. Evaluating Claude Opus 4.8, we find that verification catches what tests miss: a quarter of test-passing patches admit counterexamples, which a structured natural-language specification does not fix, while a correct formal one lifts resolution from 85% to…

  HeadGuard: Selective Head Protection for Low-Bit VLM KV-Cache Quantization

  Nenad Banfic

  Low-bit key-value (KV) cache quantization saves storage but can sharply degrade vision-language model (VLM) accuracy. We introduce HeadGuard, a composable head-protection method that augments a base KV-cache quantizer with a fixed high-precision mask. Image-sensitivity and output-sensitivity scores select physical KV heads offline, with approximately 1/8 protected in the main experiments; their image keys and optionally values remain in bfloat16 (BF16), while the base quantizes unprotected image entries. Across eight VLMs, three base quantizers, and eight benchmarks (six discriminative and two generative), HeadGuard recovers a substantial fraction of lost accuracy on weaker quantizers, with the strongest gains for Qwen and InternVL. At 2 bits, the six-task discriminative mean over eight models rises from 0.436 to 0.580 on the weakest base; protection can also improve generated answers and caption fidelity to BF16 outputs. Mean accuracy gains persist across all three quantizers with both tested calibration datasets. Keys-only protection retains substantial recovery at lower modeled storage cost. Evaluated through simulated quantization, HeadGuard offers a composable way to improve…
