    PINNForge: Execution-Grounded Evolutionary Design of Physics-Informed Neural Networks

    Mingyang Yu, Xu Yang, Jun Zhang, Jing Xu, Keqian Li

    Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) require coordinated choices across representation, architecture, sampling, constraints, loss construction, and optimization, yet effective configurations can vary substantially across partial differential equations (PDEs). Existing automated design methods search over these choices, but training outcomes are still used primarily to rank candidates rather than to inform subsequent designs. We develop PINNForge, an execution-grounded large language model (LLM)-driven evolutionary framework that treats observed PINN training behavior as a cross-generation design signal. PINNForge initializes diverse configurations from PDE-related prior knowledge, executes them, retains globally strong configurations, and feeds their execution evidence and accumulated run-level experience back to the LLM. The LLM then revises and recombines coupled design components or explores new combinations within a generate--execute--evaluate--evolve loop. Across 25 PDE benchmarks, PINNForge achieves the lowest mean MSE on 24 tasks among RoPINN, PINNsFormer, PINNsAgent, and PINNForge. Removing knowledge guidance, execution feedback, or evolutionary search increases the…

    SomaNet: Weakly Supervised Learning for Instance Soma Segmentation in 3D Electron Microscopy with Partial Annotations

    Mohammad Khateri, Morteza Ghahremani, Jussi Tohka, Alejandra Sierra

    Soma instance segmentation, i.e., identifying and delineating individual cell somas as distinct instances, is crucial for cellular analysis and connectomic reconstruction. Three-dimensional electron microscopy (3D EM) provides nanometer-scale resolution for capturing fine-grained soma morphology. However, dense instance-level manual annotation is prohibitively costly, limiting the scalability of fully supervised methods. To address this challenge, we propose SomaNet, a weakly supervised framework for 3D EM soma instance segmentation under partial annotation constraints. SomaNet adopts a teacher--student learning paradigm tailored to partial labels. The teacher is trained using partially annotated data to generate pseudo-labels, while the student jointly learns from the partial ground-truth annotations and the generated pseudo-labels, progressively recovering dense instance segmentations. To accurately delineate cell somas under limited supervision with varying instance counts, SomaNet incorporates affinity learning, which encourages high similarity within instances and low similarity across instance boundaries. Semantic-guided affinity decoding and 2D-to-3D reconstruction then…

    Reconstructed holograms and explanation-aware evaluation for low-cost computational pollen analysis in veterinary cytology

    Swarn Warshaneyan, Joial Danyal, Blaž Cugmas, Mindaugas Tamošiūnas, Edgars Kviesis-Kipge +2

    Automated pollen analysis supports veterinary cytology, but brightfield microscopy is costlier and more complex than lens-less digital in-line holographic microscopy. We evaluate whether reconstructed holograms can narrow this gap and whether model explanations remain reliable under modality change. Six pollen species were imaged by brightfield and holographic microscopy. Raw, single back-propagation and iterative phase retrieval holograms were evaluated with YOLOv26s detection and MobileNetV4 classification after anchor-based annotation transfer. Six attribution methods were assessed for spatial grounding and faithfulness with the Attribution Health Inspection and Repair (AHIR) protocol, which tests model brittleness under weak noise and corrects attribution-map granularity when needed. Brightfield achieved 0.6890 mAP50-95 (0.8865 mAP50) for detection and 0.9687 macro-F1 (0.9705 accuracy) for classification. Reconstructed holograms narrowed the gap with a task-dependent split: p-type was strongest for detection at 0.5324 mAP50-95 (0.8229 mAP50), while r-type was strongest for classification at 0.7695 macro-F1 (0.7866 accuracy), both far above raw-hologram baselines.…

    Watching Quantum Models Think: Hilbert-Space Interpretability in Quantum Transformer Blocks

    Diego Iacopetta, Andrea Gasparini

    Deep learning models are powerful but opaque. As quantum machine learning matures, the field faces a defining choice: build quantum models that are equally opaque, or exploit the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics to make them inherently interpretable. We show that the latter is possible. By tracking quantum mutual information~(MI), entanglement entropy, and state fidelity through the layers of a Quantum Transformer Block (\qtb{}), a fully-coherent variational circuit with quantum analogues of both attention and feedforward, we gain direct insight into how the model processes information: which tokens it attends to, when correlations form, and why predictions fail. On four tasks with known dependency structure we show that (i)~learned MI matrices align with ground-truth task structure (AUC$\,{=}\,0.69$ on lookup), (ii)~disabling entangling gates collapses accuracy from 100\% to 15\% while MI$\to 0$, proving entanglement is the mechanism, (iii)~accuracy and MI co-evolve during training ($ρ\,{=}\,0.92$ on lookup), and (iv)~per-sample MI predicts prediction correctness on the conditional task with ROC AUC$\,{=}\,0.84$. All results are validated on IBM Quantum hardware…

    CrowdCue: Specialist-Cue Conditioning for Vision-Language Crowd Counting

    Moshiur Farazi, Bekir Ciftler, Abdulhalim Dandoush, Reda Bendraou

    Generative vision-language models (VLMs) offer a counting paradigm in which one model produces both a count and a natural-language account of the scene, yet their raw counting accuracy sits in the range of sub-million-parameter specialist regressors. The open question is whether auxiliary guidance from a pretrained specialist can lift them into useful territory, and through which channel that guidance is best routed. We evaluate Qwen2.5-VL-7B on four widely used crowd counting benchmarks (ShanghaiTech A and B, UCF-QNRF, NWPU-Crowd). Zero-shot prompting rarely produces a parseable count, so LoRA supervised fine-tuning establishes the baseline at overall MAE 81.64. Conditioning on a P2PNet-derived density heatmap as an auxiliary visual signal fails in every encoding we tested, and an adversarial-swap protocol shows the model reads the heatmap but applies it counterproductively. We propose CrowdCue, a family that supplies the same specialist's already-integrated integer count to the VLM as a discrete symbol. The text-channel variant reaches MAE 72.04. The visual-channel variant, which renders the integer as printed digits and supplies it as a second image, reaches MAE 62.65, the…

    MixiMotion: One-Step Text-to-Motion Generation via Asymmetric Set Distillation

    Hung Dinh, Binh Mai, Tran Quoc Bao Le, Lam Nguyen, Cong Tran

    Iterative text-to-motion generation delivers high-quality and semantically aligned motions but requires multiple network evaluations, resulting in substantial inference latency. We present \textbf{MixiMotion}, a strict one-step text-to-motion generation framework based on offline set distillation. Instead of distilling a single teacher trajectory for each text prompt, MixiMotion constructs an offline bank of multiple teacher motions and aligns teacher and student sample sets through \textbf{asymmetric bidirectional matching}. The teacher-to-student direction promotes coverage of diverse teacher-supported motions, while the student-to-teacher direction suppresses unsupported generations. We further introduce differentiable decoded-space kinematic supervision to complement normalized representation matching with constraints in the decoded motion space. At inference, MixiMotion generates a complete motion sequence with a single network evaluation, without teacher queries, iterative sampling, or candidate ranking. On ViMoGen, MixiMotion achieves a semantic alignment score of $0.835$, outperforming the evaluated one-step baselines and approaching the $0.858$ score of its 50-step…

    Interpretable Multi-Hypersphere Deep Anomaly Detection for Open-set Supervised Anomaly Detection

    Zhiji Yang, Fangyong Wang, Yue Li, Xianli Pan, Jianhua Zhao

    Multi-class open-set anomaly detection requires a model to characterize the normal acceptance domain formed by multiple heterogeneous subdistributions using only class-labeled samples from known normal classes, and to identify previously unseen anomalies at test time. Existing single-hypersphere methods cannot explicitly represent class-specific locations and acceptance ranges, while current multi-hypersphere or multi-class approaches do not fully integrate inter-class boundary constraints, learnable acceptance ranges, and interpretable decisions. To address these limitations, we propose Interpretable Multi-Hypersphere Deep Anomaly Detection (IMHD-AD). IMHD-AD constructs an independent hypersphere for each known normal class in a shared feature space. With target-inside and non-target-outside constraints, IMHD-AD embeds the class-specific hypersphere centers and radii directly into the final network layer and jointly optimizes them with the shared representation. The minimum signed boundary score across hyperspheres simultaneously determines open-set acceptance or rejection and provides a faithful geometric explanation of each decision. On MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, and CIFAR-10,…

    Compressing 3D Gaussian Splatting via Cross-Representation Priors

    Yezheng Zhang, Huanxiong Liang, Chuqin Zhou, Guo Lu, Wenjun Zhang

    3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables high-quality novel view synthesis but incurs high storage and transmission costs due to dense Gaussian primitives. Recent anchor-based compression reduces per-primitive redundancy, yet redundancy across anchors remains largely unexploited. We propose CRP-GS (Cross-Representation Priors for Gaussian Splatting), a rate-distortion optimized compression framework that leverages cross-representation priors to improve anchor-level entropy modeling. First, a Correspondence-Oriented Hierarchical Structure (COHS) organizes anchors by feature correspondence rather than spatial proximity, constructing root-leaf dependencies so that selected anchors can act as informative priors to conditionally encode others, yielding more accurate likelihood prediction and lower conditional entropy. Second, Shared Feature Aggregation (SFA) extracts globally shared features from a contextual hash grid and injects them into anchor representations, factoring out scene-consistent low-frequency information that would otherwise be redundantly embedded in individual anchors. Both modules are trained under a unified rate-distortion objective to balance bitrate reduction and…

    M3GA-Wild: A Large-Scale Dataset and Benchmark for Multi-Modal Multi-session Ground-to-Aerial Place Recognition in Forests

    Ethan Griffiths, Maryam Haghighat, Simon Denman, Clinton Fookes, Milad Ramezani

    We present M3GA-Wild, the first benchmark for multi-modal, multi-session ground-to-aerial place recognition in forests. M3GA-Wild unifies and extends existing forest localisation datasets, providing a holistic benchmark with synchronised RGB imagery and LiDAR from ground traversals spanning 36 km, aligned high-resolution aerial imagery and multi-altitude LiDAR covering 370 hectares, and accurate geo-referenced 6-DoF poses for precise evaluation. M3GA-Wild captures diverse forest scenes with varying viewpoints, occlusion, and environmental conditions, enabling systematic evaluation of visual, LiDAR, cross-modal, and multi-modal methods. Baseline experiments show that LiDAR-based approaches significantly outperform vision-only methods under severe viewpoint differences, while current multi-modal fusion strategies yield limited gains due to poor cross-modal alignment. By pairing aerial RGB imagery with geo-referenced aerial LiDAR, M3GA-Wild also enables evaluation of foundation models for monocular depth estimation as a cheap source of 3D geometry from forest imagery, with initial experiments revealing shortfalls of current methods. These results highlight key challenges in…

    Silent Failures Beyond the 32-Bit Index Range: A Differential Characterization of Large-Tensor Matrix Multiplication in PyTorch's MPS Backend

    Junichiro Niimi

    Apple Silicon machines with large unified memory make it possible to hold large tensors on a desktop GPU. However, we found that PyTorch's Metal Performance Shaders (MPS) backend silently returns wrong results for batched matrix multiplication with more than $2^{32}$ elements. torch bmm, including its wrappers matmul and eager attention, returns relative errors above 1 without an exception or a warning in every PyTorch release tested (2.4.1 to 2.14.0). We sweep bmm over dtypes, memory layouts, shapes and batch sizes around $2^{31}$ and $2^{32}$ elements, and judge every result against a float64 computation on the CPU. Three rules account for every outcome on 2.14.0. When the output exceeds $2^{32}$ elements and an operand is a transposed view, the entire output is wrong and equals a computation that ignores that operand's strides. Otherwise, a view with at least $2^{31}$ elements raises an exception, and a contiguous input above $2^{32}$ elements makes exactly the batches beyond that point wrong, equal to a computation whose index wraps at $2^{32}$. A slightly larger problem can thus turn an explicit error into a silent failure. The rules extend to the backward pass, where a…

    On attention heads and bilinear forms

    Andrew O'Desky

    We study the symmetric and antisymmetric parts of bilinear forms in the attention heads of trained large language models. We introduce an orthogonally invariant profile map from real bilinear forms to a three-dimensional simplex and observe that profiles of trained bilinear forms accumulate near profiles of rank-one bilinear forms. We prove that the symmetric part of a bilinear form in an attention head is the sum of a hyperbolic form and a zero form for a Zariski-dense subset of query-key matrices.

    Rethinking Pivot Programming Languages in Code Language Models

    Andor Diera, Lukas Galke Poech, Matthias Tichy

    Multilingual code language models transfer skills across programming languages (PLs), but whether any PL occupies a privileged pivot position remains contested: geometric analyses point to C-family languages and Go, while behavioral evidence highlights Python. We revisit this question under controls for representational anisotropy and length variation across PLs, two confounds that compromise prior cosine-based analyses. Across three code models on multilingual competitive-programming data, we study three views of cross-PL organization: pairwise PL geometry, PL-English alignment, and pivoted retrieval through candidate PL representation spaces. The results are relation-dependent. Code-code geometry reveals structured language regions but no universal center; code-English alignment favors high-level scripting languages; and pivoted retrieval favors different intermediate spaces for code-to-code and English-to-code transfer. These findings suggest that Python's special role is better understood as English-facing affinity than as universal geometric centrality.

    OptiSkill: A Hierarchical and Evolving SkillBank for LLM-Based Optimization Modeling

    Ruiqing Zhao, Rui Liu, Yuan Zuo, Huarong Zhang, Xiao Han +1

    Automated operations research (OR) modeling requires LLMs to translate natural-language decision problems into correct mathematical programs. Existing methods can improve individual formulations, but they often solve problems in isolation, retaining little reusable experience and repeating similar formulation errors. Prior memory-based approaches store examples, thoughts, or insights as references, while OR modeling requires reusable formulation skills that transfer across problem narratives and guide concrete modeling decisions. We propose OptiSkill, a skill-augmented framework that builds a hierarchical and evolving SkillBank for LLM-based OR modeling. SkillBank stores solver-verified experience as reusable skills, with Global Strategies for problem-level formulation skeletons and Step Experiences for local error-prevention rules. It is further refined through stable batch-level test-time evolution, where candidate skills are incorporated only after validation. Experiments on eight OR modeling benchmarks show that OptiSkill improves formulation accuracy across LLM backbones, outperforms strong agentic baselines, and gains further by expanding SkillBank coverage and reliability.…

    LPINNs: First-Layer Gated Localization for Physics-Informed Neural Networks

    Lakshay Chawla, Hardik Jain

    Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) use one shared representation over the computational domain, which can become difficult to optimize on long domains and for high-order operators. We study a minimal alternative: multiply the first hidden activation of an otherwise unchanged dense PINN by input-dependent localization functions, giving first-layer units receptive fields without partitioning the domain or adding interface losses. We screen 13 families of localization functions, in up to three parameterizations each, on a nonlinear harmonic oscillator (HO), a heat equation on a long spatial interval, and a manufactured four-dimensional (4D) fourth-order problem, with ten paired seeds throughout. Three configurations give large reductions in solution error at matched budgets: (i) Fixed Gaussian localization functions on the $2π$ HO domain cut mean solution RMSE from $4.8369\times10^{-1}$ to $8.83\times10^{-3}$ at 3k epochs. (ii) The inverse-quadratic family with learnable centers and widths cuts it from $2.896\times10^{-1}$ to $3.06\times10^{-2}$ on the $8π$ heat domain at 10k epochs. (iii) Fixed bump localization functions cut it from $1.75947\times10^{1}$ to…

    Connectivity-Aware Exploration of Robotic Grasp Spaces

    Maksim A Kazanskii

    Robotic grasping is typically formulated as the problem of identifying successful actions from a space of candidate grasp poses. However, the organization of successful actions within this space has received less attention. We study the multiscale structure of viable robotic grasps in $SE(3)$ and investigate whether this structure can be exploited for more efficient exploration. Using a large-scale grasp dataset, we show that successful grasp sets exhibit heterogeneous and reproducible connectivity structure across objects. We then introduce a connectivity-aware sampling strategy that incrementally explores the currently observed grasp space by prioritizing potential bridges between components, structural frontiers, boundary extensions, and geometric novelty. In controlled reconstruction experiments, the method recovers the connectivity structure of successful grasp sets substantially more efficiently than random sampling and farthest-point sampling. We further evaluate whether connectivity acquired under hidden grasp viability can improve subsequent grasp discovery, and whether structural experience from previously explored objects can be retrieved and transferred to unseen…

    Dual-Locking Learned AI Models: A PIN-Based Sparse QIM Watermarking and Adaptive Index Permutation Approach

    Iva Vasic, Jesús Muñoz-Cádiz, Bata Vasic

    We present a dual-locking method for securing trained neural networks that combines key-driven index permutation with PIN-based watermarking based on Sparse Quantization Index Modulation (QIM). Cryptographic randomness is introduced by independently applying a uniform random permutation to each row of adaptively selected index vectors. A robust blind binary watermark is then embedded into the bias coefficients by modulating their quantized values, binding the network to a user-defined Personal Identification Number (PIN). Without the correct key, the network retains its architecture but becomes functionally impaired due to disrupted internal representations. Inverse permutation fully restores the original model accuracy, while the embedded watermark remains imperceptible and enables blind verification of key association and model authorship. To improve both locking effectiveness and recoverability, an adaptive key selection strategy redistributes high-magnitude weights to low-sensitivity positions and vice versa, increasing degradation in the locked state while preserving full recovery. Experiments on MNIST, CIFAR-10/100, and ImageNet-1K using fully connected networks, ResNet…

    CLC-YOLO: A Compact Channel-Gated Prototype Network for Real-Time Leakage-Aware Breast Ultrasound Lesion Segmentation

    M. Fazri Nizar, Muhammad Naufal Rachmatullah, Julian Supardi

    Reliable breast ultrasound lesion segmentation requires accurate boundaries and evaluation that prevents patients or duplicate images from crossing data splits. We propose Channel Local Contrast (CLC), a compact refinement of the YOLO26 segmentation prototype head. CLC adds a fixed local high-pass residual controlled by 64 zero-initialized, bounded channel gates. Baseline and CLC were compared in five matched folds on each of four breast ultrasound datasets. BUS-BRA used patient-disjoint outer tests with separate inner validation. BUS-UCLM and BrEaST used patient-grouped validation folds; BUSI used duplicate-component groups because patient identifiers are unavailable. Group-macro Dice increased by 1.68, 3.11, 1.12, and 2.45 percentage points on BUS-BRA, BUS-UCLM, BUSI, and BrEaST, respectively. Only the BUS-BRA paired 95% confidence interval excluded zero. CLC adds 64 parameters and 0.0049 giga floating-point operations (GFLOPs). At 640 pixels, single-T4, batch-one, 16-bit floating-point (FP16) TensorRT graph times were 2.1478 ms for CLC and 2.0512 ms for baseline, excluding preprocessing and postprocessing.

    Learning When to Refine: Long-Horizon Reinforcement Learning for Budgeted Neural-Operator PDE Solvers

    Ange Tong

    Neural operators provide fast surrogates for time-dependent PDEs, but autoregressive deployment creates a refinement-allocation problem: prediction errors vary over space and time, while only a finite number of local corrections can be committed along a trajectory. We formulate this as budgeted adaptive neural-operator solving. A global Fourier neural operator advances the full field, a local operator proposes patch-wise residual corrections, and a set-aware selector chooses where to refine. A macro policy decides when and how much of the remaining refinement budget to spend. We introduce rollout-verified policy improvement (RV-PI), which evaluates feasible refinement counts through actual continuation rollouts of the learned PDE solver, converts long-horizon advantages into conservative policy targets, and accepts an update only when held-out trajectory error improves. On the shallow-water benchmark with a 32-intervention budget, RV-PI achieves a three-seed mean trajectory relative L2 error of 0.6910, improving over immediate-only policy improvement by 5.37% and RandomMacro by 2.41%. On the forcing-driven Brusselator benchmark with a 76-intervention budget, RV-PI attains…

    Beyond Similarity: Coverage-Aware Prompt Selection for Time Series Forecasting with LLMs

    Daeun Ji, Minkyoung Kim, Dongkuk Kim, Yohan Lee, Beomsoo Kim +1

    Similarity-based retrieval is the dominant rule for conditioning large language models (LLMs) in in-context learning, retrieval-augmented generation, and prompt-based time series forecasting. The rule concentrates on near-duplicate candidates, an issue that has motivated diversity-aware retrieval but remains unexamined in other retrieval-conditioned pipelines. We study this issue using prompt-based time series forecasting as a test bed, where a learned prompt pool is retrieved by similarity. Dominant methods in this setting retrieve top-K entries by cosine similarity without redundancy control, producing a bias toward dominant temporal patterns while overlooking rare but informative events. We propose CASP-LLM, a coverage-aware semantic prompting framework that addresses this prompt selection bias by combining usage-tracking and saturating-gate techniques into a coverage regularizer that adds no learnable parameters. On six long-term benchmarks and the M4 short-term benchmark, CASP-LLM matches or improves on similarity-based LLM forecasters on most dataset-horizon settings, with the exceptions of Electricity, M4-Monthly, and the few-shot long-horizon setting.

    A Horizon-slicing Approach to Minimum Obstacle Displacement Planning for Robot Navigation

    Antony Thomas, Giulio Ferro, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni, Michela Robba, Marco Baglietto

    In this paper, we investigate the Minimum Obstacle Displacement Planning problem from a robot motion planning perspective. The problem involves determining a feasible path to a goal location by displacing movable obstacles when no collision-free path initially exists. We show that this problem is computationally challenging and, in particular, NP-hard when obstacles are modeled as polygons in the plane. Besides an exact formulation of the minimum obstacle displacement problem generalizing other problems in the literature, and the associated optimal solution, this paper proposes an approximate solution that is less intensive from a computational standpoint, and differs from the optimal solution by a fraction of the optimal cost, being able to trade-off between path length and amount of obstacle displacements.
