A physics-enhanced bidirectional multi-order graph fusion network for interpretable bearing remaining useful life prediction

Accurate prediction of bearing remaining useful life (RUL) is a key challenge for intelligent maintenance. Although deep learning-based prediction methods have showed effectiveness, existing methods still have limitations in learning nonlinear bearing degradation processes and model interpretability. Especially in engineering applications, the "black box" nature of deep learning models can easily raise concerns about their reliability. Therefore, we propose a physics-enhanced bidirectional multi-order graph fusion network for interpretable bearing RUL prediction. Our network mines complementary information from both forward and backward degradation sequences. Specifically, our network introduces a multi-order graph propagator to capture the local-global degradation dependencies. A gated cross-fusion mechanism is further designed to dynamically balance the feature contributions from both forward and backward directions. Then, our network stores representative historical degradation prototypes in dynamic memory, so that the final RUL prediction no longer depends solely on the current latent features, but is guided by reusable historical degradation knowledge. To reveal how our model learns the nonlinear degradation process, the feature mapping parts utilize the Kolmogorov-Arnold network, which allows the nonlinear mapping to be visualized using learnable functions. Finally, a physics-enhanced dynamic loss function is developed to help our network learn effective and reliable degradation representations. Extensive experiments on two public datasets show that our method achieves the lowest error while providing more conservative estimates than existing methods. Our code is available at https://github.com/IMGresearcher/PE-BMGN.

FP4 Explore, BF16 Train: Diffusion Reinforcement Learning via Efficient Rollout Scaling

Reinforcement-Learning-based post-training has recently emerged as a promising paradigm for aligning text-to-image diffusion models with human preferences. In recent studies, increasing the rollout group size yields pronounced performance improvements, indicating substantial room for further alignment gains. However, scaling rollouts on large-scale foundational diffusion models (e.g., FLUX.1-12B) imposes a heavy computational burden. To alleviate this bottleneck, we explore the integration of FP4 quantization into Diffusion RL rollouts. Yet, we identify that naive quantized pipelines inherently introduce risks of performance degradation. To overcome this dilemma between efficiency and training integrity, we propose Sol-RL (Speed-of-light RL), a novel FP4-empowered Two-stage Reinforcement Learning framework. First, we utilize high-throughput NVFP4 rollouts to generate a massive candidate pool and extract a highly contrastive subset. Second, we regenerate these selected samples in BF16 precision and optimize the policy exclusively on them. By decoupling candidate exploration from policy optimization, Sol-RL integrates the algorithmic mechanisms of rollout scaling with the system-level throughput gains of NVFP4. This synergistic algorithm-hardware design effectively accelerates the rollout phase while reserving high-fidelity samples for optimization. We empirically demonstrate that our framework maintains the training integrity of BF16 precision pipeline while fully exploiting the throughput gains enabled by FP4 arithmetic. Extensive experiments across SANA, FLUX.1, and SD3.5-L substantiate that our approach delivers superior alignment performance across multiple metrics while accelerating training convergence by up to $4.64\times$, unlocking the power of massive rollout scaling at a fraction of the cost.

Data-regularized Reinforcement Learning for Diffusion Models at Scale

Aligning generative diffusion models with human preferences via reinforcement learning (RL) is critical yet challenging. Most existing algorithms are often vulnerable to reward hacking, such as quality degradation, over-stylization, or reduced diversity. Our analysis demonstrates that this can be attributed to the inherent limitations of their regularization, which provides unreliable penalties. We introduce Data-regularized Diffusion Reinforcement Learning (DDRL), a novel framework that uses the forward KL divergence to anchor the policy to an off-policy data distribution. Theoretically, DDRL enables robust, unbiased integration of RL with standard diffusion training. Empirically, this translates into a simple yet effective algorithm that combines reward maximization with diffusion loss minimization. With over a million GPU hours of experiments and ten thousand double-blind human evaluations, we demonstrate on high-resolution video generation tasks that DDRL significantly improves rewards while alleviating the reward hacking seen in baselines, achieving the highest human preference and establishing a robust and scalable paradigm for diffusion post-training.

World Simulation with Video Foundation Models for Physical AI

We introduce [Cosmos-Predict2.5], the latest generation of the Cosmos World Foundation Models for Physical AI. Built on a flow-based architecture, [Cosmos-Predict2.5] unifies Text2World, Image2World, and Video2World generation in a single model and leverages [Cosmos-Reason1], a Physical AI vision-language model, to provide richer text grounding and finer control of world simulation. Trained on 200M curated video clips and refined with reinforcement learning-based post-training, [Cosmos-Predict2.5] achieves substantial improvements over [Cosmos-Predict1] in video quality and instruction alignment, with models released at 2B and 14B scales. These capabilities enable more reliable synthetic data generation, policy evaluation, and closed-loop simulation for robotics and autonomous systems. We further extend the family with [Cosmos-Transfer2.5], a control-net style framework for Sim2Real and Real2Real world translation. Despite being 3.5$\times$ smaller than [Cosmos-Transfer1], it delivers higher fidelity and robust long-horizon video generation. Together, these advances establish [Cosmos-Predict2.5] and [Cosmos-Transfer2.5] as versatile tools for scaling embodied intelligence. To accelerate research and deployment in Physical AI, we release source code, pretrained checkpoints, and curated benchmarks under the NVIDIA Open Model License at https://github.com/nvidia-cosmos/cosmos-predict2.5 and https://github.com/nvidia-cosmos/cosmos-transfer2.5. We hope these open resources lower the barrier to adoption and foster innovation in building the next generation of embodied intelligence.

Cosmos-Reason1: From Physical Common Sense To Embodied Reasoning

Physical AI systems need to perceive, understand, and perform complex actions in the physical world. In this paper, we present the Cosmos-Reason1 models that can understand the physical world and generate appropriate embodied decisions (e.g., next step action) in natural language through long chain-of-thought reasoning processes. We begin by defining key capabilities for Physical AI reasoning, with a focus on physical common sense and embodied reasoning. To represent physical common sense, we use a hierarchical ontology that captures fundamental knowledge about space, time, and physics. For embodied reasoning, we rely on a two-dimensional ontology that generalizes across different physical embodiments. Building on these capabilities, we develop two multimodal large language models, Cosmos-Reason1-7B and Cosmos-Reason1-56B. We curate data and train our models in two stages: Physical AI supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and Physical AI reinforcement learning (RL). To evaluate our models, we build comprehensive benchmarks for physical common sense and embodied reasoning according to our ontologies. Evaluation results show that Physical AI SFT and RL bring significant improvements. To facilitate the development of Physical AI, we make our code and pre-trained models available under the NVIDIA Open Model License at https://github.com/nvidia-cosmos/cosmos-reason1.

Exploring the Interactive Guidance for Unified and Effective Image Matting

Recent image matting studies are developing towards proposing trimap-free or interactive methods for complete complex image matting tasks. Although avoiding the extensive labors of trimap annotation, existing methods still suffer from two limitations: (1) For the single image with multiple objects, it is essential to provide extra interaction information to help determining the matting target; (2) For transparent objects, the accurate regression of alpha matte from RGB image is much more difficult compared with the opaque ones. In this work, we propose a Unified Interactive image Matting method, named UIM, which solves the limitations and achieves satisfying matting results for any scenario. Specifically, UIM leverages multiple types of user interaction to avoid the ambiguity of multiple matting targets, and we compare the pros and cons of different annotation types in detail. To unify the matting performance for transparent and opaque objects, we decouple image matting into two stages, i.e., foreground segmentation and transparency prediction. Moreover, we design a multi-scale attentive fusion module to alleviate the vagueness in the boundary region. Experimental results demonstrate that UIM achieves state-of-the-art performance on the Composition-1K test set and a synthetic unified dataset.

PointManifold: Using Manifold Learning for Point Cloud Classification

In this paper, we propose a point cloud classification method based on graph neural network and manifold learning. Different from the conventional point cloud analysis methods, this paper uses manifold learning algorithms to embed point cloud features for better considering the geometric continuity on the surface. Then, the nature of point cloud can be acquired in low dimensional space, and after being concatenated with features in the original three-dimensional (3D)space, both the capability of feature representation and the classification network performance can be improved. We pro-pose two manifold learning modules, where one is based on locally linear embedding algorithm, and the other is a non-linear projection method based on neural network architecture. Both of them can obtain better performances than the state-of-the-art baseline. Afterwards, the graph model is constructed by using the k nearest neighbors algorithm, where the edge features are effectively aggregated for the implementation of point cloud classification. Experiments show that the proposed point cloud classification methods obtain the mean class accuracy (mA) of 90.2% and the overall accuracy (oA)of 93.2%, which reach competitive performances compared with the existing state-of-the-art related methods.
