Handwritten and Printed Text Segmentation via Region-Aware Human-Writing Descriptor Engineering

With the increasing demand for reusing paper documents in educational and office settings, accurate segmentation of handwritten and printed text has become a crucial step in document digitization. Although numerous deep learning models have been developed for this task, their high computational cost limits deployment on resource-constrained edge devices. To address this challenge, we present a lightweight framework optimized for efficient performance on devices with severely limited computational capacity. Our approach begins with the Sentence-level Connected Component Segmentation algorithm, aimed at extracting coherent sentence-level segments from document images. We then design a novel Region-aware Handwriting Descriptor (RHD) to capture the intrinsic variability of human handwriting at the sentence level. A simple conventional classifier can then be seamlessly integrated with our designed descriptor, demonstrating strong classification performance for distinguishing handwritten and printed sentence-level text images, highlighting that the proposed descriptor is agnostic to the choice of classifier. Extensive experiments are performed on our self-constructed Multilingual High-Quality Annotated Dataset for Handwritten and Printed Text Segmentation (MAD-HPTS) and a public benchmark PHD-AS, and the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms current state-of-the-art methods in both accuracy and computational efficiency. On MAD-HPTS, our method sacrifices only 1.4% accuracy compared to the leading deep neural network baseline, yet achieves more than 8 times speedup in inference, making it well-suited for lightweight deployment.

Unified Restoration-Perception Learning: Maritime Infrared-Visible Image Fusion and Segmentation

Marine scene understanding and segmentation plays a vital role in maritime monitoring and navigation safety. However, prevalent factors like fog and strong reflections in maritime environments cause severe image degradation, significantly compromising the stability of semantic perception. Existing restoration and enhancement methods typically target specific degradations or focus solely on visual quality, lacking end-to-end collaborative mechanisms that simultaneously improve structural recovery and semantic effectiveness. Moreover, publicly available infrared-visible datasets are predominantly collected from urban scenes, failing to capture the authentic characteristics of coupled degradations in marine environments. To address these challenges, the Infrared-Visible Maritime Ship Dataset (IVMSD) is proposed to cover various maritime scenarios under diverse weather and illumination conditions. Building upon this dataset, a Multi-task Complementary Learning Framework (MCLF) is proposed to collaboratively perform image restoration, multimodal fusion, and semantic segmentation within a unified architecture. The framework includes a Frequency-Spatial Enhancement Complementary (FSEC) module for degradation suppression and structural enhancement, a Semantic-Visual Consistency Attention (SVCA) module for semantic-consistent guidance, and a cross-modality guided attention mechanism for selective fusion. Experimental results on IVMSD demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art segmentation performance, significantly enhancing robustness and perceptual quality under complex maritime conditions.

Multiplicity and concentration of dual solutions for a Helmholtz system

In this paper, we are concerned with the nonlinear Helmholtz system of Hamiltonian type \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{l} -\Delta u-k^2 u=P(x)|v|^{p-2}v,\quad \text{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N, \\ -\Delta v-k^2v=Q(x)|u|^{q-2}u,\quad \text{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where $N\geq3$, $P,Q: \mathbb{R}^N\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ are two positive continuous functions, the exponents $p,q>2$ satisfy $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}>\frac{N-2}{N}$. First, we obtained the existence of a ground state solution via a dual variational method. Moreover, the concentration behavior of such dual ground state solutions is established as $k\rightarrow\infty$, where a rescaling technique and the generalized Birman-Schwinger operator are involved. In addition, we also investigated the relation between the number of solutions and the topology of the set of the global maxima of the functions $P$ and $Q$.

Multiple standing waves of Helmholtz equation with mixed dispersion concentrating in the high frequency limit

In this paper, we study the nonlinear Helmholtz equation with mixed dispersion \begin{equation*} \Delta^2 u-\beta k^2\, \Delta u+\alpha k^4 u=W(x)\, |u|^{p-2}u~\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N, \end{equation*} where the weight function $W(x)$ is continuous, nonnegative, and satisfies \[ \limsup_{|x|\to\infty} W(x) \;<\; \sup_{x\in\mathbb{R}^N} W(x). \] Within each of the following parameter ranges, \begin{center} (a) $\alpha<0$, $\beta\in\mathbb{R}$; \qquad (b) $\alpha>0$, $\beta<-2\sqrt{\alpha}$; \qquad (c) $\alpha=0$, $\beta<0$, \end{center} After a suitable rescaling, we obtain the existence of dual ground state solutions, which concentrate along the global maximizers of $W$ as $k\to\infty$. In addition, we establish the existence of multiple solutions associated with the set of global maximum points of $W$, and we further characterize the precise concentration behavior of these solutions.

From Code Foundation Models to Agents and Applications: A Comprehensive Survey and Practical Guide to Code Intelligence

Large language models (LLMs) have fundamentally transformed automated software development by enabling direct translation of natural language descriptions into functional code, driving commercial adoption through tools like Github Copilot (Microsoft), Cursor (Anysphere), Trae (ByteDance), and Claude Code (Anthropic). While the field has evolved dramatically from rule-based systems to Transformer-based architectures, achieving performance improvements from single-digit to over 95\% success rates on benchmarks like HumanEval. In this work, we provide a comprehensive synthesis and practical guide (a series of analytic and probing experiments) about code LLMs, systematically examining the complete model life cycle from data curation to post-training through advanced prompting paradigms, code pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and autonomous coding agents. We analyze the code capability of the general LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, LLaMA) and code-specialized LLMs (StarCoder, Code LLaMA, DeepSeek-Coder, and QwenCoder), critically examining the techniques, design decisions, and trade-offs. Further, we articulate the research-practice gap between academic research (e.g., benchmarks and tasks) and real-world deployment (e.g., software-related code tasks), including code correctness, security, contextual awareness of large codebases, and integration with development workflows, and map promising research directions to practical needs. Last, we conduct a series of experiments to provide a comprehensive analysis of code pre-training, supervised fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning, covering scaling law, framework selection, hyperparameter sensitivity, model architectures, and dataset comparisons.

Argo: An efficient verification framework for distributed in-network computing

Distributed in-network programs are increasingly deployed in data centers for their performance benefits, but shifting application logic to switches also enlarges the failure domain. Ensuring their correctness before deployment is thus critical for reliability. While prior verification frameworks can efficiently detect bugs for programs running on a single switch, they overlook the common interactive behaviors in distributed settings, thereby missing related bugs that can cause state inconsistencies and system failures. This paper presents Procurator, a verification framework that efficiently captures interactive behaviors in distributed in-network programs. Procurator introduces a formal model combining the actor paradigm with Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP), translating pipeline execution into reactive, event-driven actors and unifying their interactions as message passing. To support flexible specification of distributed properties, it provides a unified intent language. Additionally, it incorporates a semantic-aware state pruner to reduce verification complexity, thus ensuring system scalability. Evaluation results show that Procurator efficiently uncovers 10 distinct bugs caused by interactive behaviors across five real-world in-network systems. It also reduces verification time by up to 913.2x and memory consumption by up to 1.9x compared to the state-of-the-art verifier.

JanusCoder: Towards a Foundational Visual-Programmatic Interface for Code Intelligence

The scope of neural code intelligence is rapidly expanding beyond text-based source code to encompass the rich visual outputs that programs generate. This visual dimension is critical for advanced applications like flexible content generation and precise, program-driven editing of visualizations. However, progress has been impeded by the scarcity of high-quality multimodal code data, a bottleneck stemming from challenges in synthesis and quality assessment. To address these challenges, we make contributions from both a data and modeling perspective. We first introduce a complete synthesis toolkit that leverages reciprocal synergies between data modalities to efficiently produce a large-scale, high-quality corpus spanning from standard charts to complex interactive web UIs and code-driven animations. Leveraging this toolkit, we construct JanusCode-800K, the largest multimodal code corpus to date. This powers the training of our models, JanusCoder and JanusCoderV, which establish a visual-programmatic interface for generating code from textual instructions, visual inputs, or a combination of both. Our unified model is a departure from existing approaches that build specialized models for isolated tasks. Extensive experiments on both text-centric and vision-centric coding tasks demonstrate the superior performance of the JanusCoder series, with our 7B to 14B scale models approaching or even exceeding the performance of commercial models. Furthermore, extensive analysis provides key insights into harmonizing programmatic logic with its visual expression. Our code and checkpoints are available at https://github.com/InternLM/JanusCoder.

VisCoder2: Building Multi-Language Visualization Coding Agents

Large language models (LLMs) have recently enabled coding agents capable of generating, executing, and revising visualization code. However, existing models often fail in practical workflows due to limited language coverage, unreliable execution, and lack of iterative correction mechanisms. Progress has been constrained by narrow datasets and benchmarks that emphasize single-round generation and single-language tasks. To address these challenges, we introduce three complementary resources for advancing visualization coding agents. VisCode-Multi-679K is a large-scale, supervised dataset containing 679K validated and executable visualization samples with multi-turn correction dialogues across 12 programming languages. VisPlotBench is a benchmark for systematic evaluation, featuring executable tasks, rendered outputs, and protocols for both initial generation and multi-round self-debug. Finally, we present VisCoder2, a family of multi-language visualization models trained on VisCode-Multi-679K. Experiments show that VisCoder2 significantly outperforms strong open-source baselines and approaches the performance of proprietary models like GPT-4.1, with further gains from iterative self-debug, reaching 82.4% overall execution pass rate at the 32B scale, particularly in symbolic or compiler-dependent languages.

LLaMAX2: Your Translation-Enhanced Model also Performs Well in Reasoning

General Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in reasoning, but those enhanced for translation struggle with reasoning tasks. To address this, we propose a novel translationenhanced recipe that begins with instruct models and applies layer-selective tuning only on parallel data. Following this pipeline, we introduce the Qwen3-XPlus models, which demonstrate significant improvements in translation performance across both high- and lowresource languages, achieving 15+ spBLEU and 40+ xComet in low-resource languages, like Swahili. Interestingly, training only with small parallel datasets, Qwen3-XPlus achieves an average improvement of 1+ points on 7 multilingual tasks while maintaining proficiency comparable to the Qwen3 instruct model in 15 popular reasoning datasets. This work offers a promising approach to multilingual enhancement, significantly reducing complexity and enhancing accessibility for a wider range of languages. The code and model are publicly available.

InteractScience: Programmatic and Visually-Grounded Evaluation of Interactive Scientific Demonstration Code Generation

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly capable of generating complete applications from natural language instructions, creating new opportunities in science and education. In these domains, interactive scientific demonstrations are particularly valuable for explaining concepts, supporting new teaching methods, and presenting research findings. Generating such demonstrations requires models to combine accurate scientific knowledge with the ability to implement interactive front-end code that behaves correctly and responds to user actions. This capability goes beyond the scope of existing benchmarks, which typically evaluate either knowledge question answering without grounding in code or static web code generation without scientific interactivity. To evaluate this integrated ability, we design a hybrid framework that combines programmatic functional testing to rigorously verify interaction logic with visually-grounded qualitative testing to assess rendered outputs against reference snapshots. Building on this framework, we present InteractScience, a benchmark consisting of a substantial set of carefully designed questions across five scientific domains, each paired with unit tests, reference snapshots, and checklists. We evaluate 30 leading open- and closed-source LLMs and report results that highlight ongoing weaknesses in integrating domain knowledge with interactive front-end coding. Our work positions InteractScience as the first benchmark to automatically measure this combined capability with realistic interactive operations, providing a foundation for advancing reliable and educationally useful scientific demonstration code generation. All code and data are publicly available at https://github.com/open-compass/InteractScience.

CodeEvo: Interaction-Driven Synthesis of Code-centric Data through Hybrid and Iterative Feedback

Acquiring high-quality instruction-code pairs is essential for training Large Language Models for code generation. While automated synthesis has emerged as an alternative to expensive manual curation, current approaches often rely on rigid heuristics, yielding data that is ungrounded or lacks logical complexity. We propose CodeEvo, a dual-agent architecture comprising a Coder for iterative solution synthesis and a Reviewer to orchestrate the generation trajectory. To transcend the limitations of existing heuristics, the Reviewer formulates a Schema to systematically architect logic and complexity through an interleaved synthesis of instructions and code. This process is further reinforced by a hybrid verification protocol synergizing deterministic compiler feedback with semantic evaluation. Under this framework, we construct CodeEvo-100K, a large-scale dataset of instruction-code pairs with stepped difficulty levels. Extensive experiments demonstrate that models fine-tuned on CodeEvo data consistently outperform established baselines across code generation benchmarks. In-depth analyses further provide insights into effective code-centric data synthesis. Code and data are available at https://github.com/QiushiSun/CodeEvo.

A Controllable Examination for Long-Context Language Models

Existing frameworks for evaluating long-context language models (LCLM) can be broadly categorized into real-world applications (e.g, document summarization) and synthetic tasks (e.g, needle-in-a-haystack). Despite their utility, both approaches are accompanied by certain intrinsic limitations. Real-world tasks often involve complexity that makes interpretation challenging and suffer from data contamination, whereas synthetic tasks frequently lack meaningful coherence between the target information (needle) and its surrounding context (haystack), undermining their validity as proxies for realistic applications. In response to these challenges, we posit that an ideal long-context evaluation framework should be characterized by three essential features: 1) seamless context 2) controllable setting and 3) sound evaluation. This study introduces $\textbf{LongBioBench}$, a benchmark that utilizes artificially generated biographies as a controlled environment for assessing LCLMs across dimensions of understanding, reasoning, and trustworthiness. Our experimental evaluation, which includes 18 LCLMs in total, demonstrates that most models still exhibit deficiencies in semantic understanding and elementary reasoning over retrieved results and are less trustworthy as context length increases. Our further analysis indicates some design choices employed by existing synthetic benchmarks, such as contextual non-coherence, numerical needles, and the absence of distractors, rendering them vulnerable to test the model's long-context capabilities. To sum up, compared to previous synthetic benchmarks, LongBioBench achieves a better trade-off between mirroring authentic language tasks and maintaining controllability, and is highly interpretable and configurable.

Could Thinking Multilingually Empower LLM Reasoning?

Previous work indicates that large language models exhibit a significant "English bias", i.e. they often perform better when tasks are presented in English. Interestingly, we have observed that using certain other languages in reasoning tasks can yield better performance than English. However, this phenomenon remains under-explored. In this paper, we explore the upper bound of harnessing multilingualism in reasoning tasks, suggesting that multilingual reasoning promises significantly (by nearly 10 Acc@$k$ points) and robustly (tolerance for variations in translation quality and language choice) higher upper bounds than English-only reasoning. Besides analyzing the reason behind the upper bound and challenges in reaching it, we also find that common answer selection methods cannot achieve this upper bound, due to their limitations and biases. These insights could pave the way for future research aimed at fully harnessing the potential of multilingual reasoning in LLMs.

GlotEval: A Test Suite for Massively Multilingual Evaluation of Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) are advancing at an unprecedented pace globally, with regions increasingly adopting these models for applications in their primary language. Evaluation of these models in diverse linguistic environments, especially in low-resource languages, has become a major challenge for academia and industry. Existing evaluation frameworks are disproportionately focused on English and a handful of high-resource languages, thereby overlooking the realistic performance of LLMs in multilingual and lower-resource scenarios. To address this gap, we introduce GlotEval, a lightweight framework designed for massively multilingual evaluation. Supporting seven key tasks (machine translation, text classification, summarization, open-ended generation, reading comprehension, sequence labeling, and intrinsic evaluation), spanning over dozens to hundreds of languages, GlotEval highlights consistent multilingual benchmarking, language-specific prompt templates, and non-English-centric machine translation. This enables a precise diagnosis of model strengths and weaknesses in diverse linguistic contexts. A multilingual translation case study demonstrates GlotEval's applicability for multilingual and language-specific evaluations.

Generalizing From Short to Long: Effective Data Synthesis for Long-Context Instruction Tuning

Long-context modelling for large language models (LLMs) has been a key area of recent research because many real world use cases require reasoning over longer inputs such as documents. The focus of research into modelling long context has been on how to model position and there has been little investigation into other important aspects of language modelling such as instruction tuning. Long context training examples are challenging and expensive to create and use. In this paper, we investigate how to design instruction data for the post-training phase of a long context pre-trained model: how much and what type of context is needed for optimal and efficient post-training. Our controlled study reveals that models instruction-tuned on short contexts can effectively generalize to longer ones, while also identifying other critical factors such as instruction difficulty and context composition. Based on these findings, we propose context synthesis, a novel data synthesis framework that leverages off-the-shelf LLMs to generate extended background contexts for high-quality instruction-answer pairs. Experiment results on the document-level benchmark (LongBench) demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms previous instruction synthesis approaches and comes close to the performance of human-annotated long-context instruction data. The project will be available at: https://github.com/NJUNLP/context-synthesis.

BenchMAX: A Comprehensive Multilingual Evaluation Suite for Large Language Models

Previous multilingual benchmarks focus primarily on simple understanding tasks, but for large language models(LLMs), we emphasize proficiency in instruction following, reasoning, long context understanding, code generation, and so on. However, measuring these advanced capabilities across languages is underexplored. To address the disparity, we introduce BenchMAX, a multi-way multilingual evaluation benchmark that allows for fair comparisons of these important abilities across languages. To maintain high quality, three distinct native-speaking annotators independently annotate each sample within all tasks after the data was machine-translated from English into 16 other languages. Additionally, we present a novel translation challenge stemming from dataset construction. Extensive experiments on BenchMAX reveal varying effectiveness of core capabilities across languages, highlighting performance gaps that cannot be bridged by simply scaling up model size. BenchMAX serves as a comprehensive multilingual evaluation platform, providing a promising test bed to promote the development of multilingual language models. The dataset and code are publicly accessible.

To achieve this, we have developed a systematic data processing framework tailored for low-resource languages. This framework encompasses key stages such as data extraction, corpus cleaning, content deduplication, security filtering, quality evaluation, and theme classification. Through the implementation of this framework, we have significantly improved both the quality and security of the dataset, while maintaining its linguistic diversity. As of now, data for all five languages have been fully open-sourced.
