NBA_Streaming: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Fine-Grained Basketball Commentary Generation in Continuous Streams

Live basketball commentary generation requires determining when an event is sufficiently observable and describing it before subsequent events unfold. However, existing methods are primarily designed for pre-segmented clips or complete videos, making them unsuitable for continuous streams. Existing datasets also provide limited supervision for player identities, fine-grained actions, event attributes, and coherent event chains, restricting the factual richness of generated commentary. To address these limitations, we introduce NBA_Streaming, a large-scale benchmark for online fine-grained basketball commentary generation. It contains 307.5 hours of basketball broadcasts and approximately 35K temporally aligned events, with annotations of event boundaries, player identities, fine-grained actions, event chains, and natural-language commentary. By moving from isolated clips to continuous streams, NBA_Streaming enables unified evaluation of event localization, response reliability, factual grounding, and commentary quality under causal constraints. We further propose a causal two-stage framework that combines completion-first localization with ball-centric semantic grounding, enabling the system to identify complete events from observed streams and organize scene, event, identity, and action cues for commentary generation. Extensive experiments reveal the difficulty of NBA_Streaming, where existing baselines struggle with online timing, factual grounding, and fine-grained description. Our framework consistently improves over strong alternatives, while the remaining gap highlights NBA_Streaming as a valuable benchmark for streaming sports video understanding and generation. The code and data will be made publicly available upon acceptance.

AgentCyberRange: Benchmarking Frontier AI Systems in Realistic Cyber Ranges

Frontier AI systems are increasingly capable of cybersecurity tasks, including codebase inspection, vulnerability detection, and exploitation. However, evaluating their offensive capabilities remains constrained by limited access to open, reproducible, multi-host cyber ranges. Existing public benchmarks capture isolated skills such as CTF solving, vulnerability reproduction, and exploit generation, but often abstract away realistic intrusion workflows: discovering exposed services, gaining a foothold, collecting internal information, and expanding compromise across hosts. This gap makes it difficult to observe emerging risks early, because frontier AI systems are rarely evaluated under realistic attack conditions. We introduce AgentCyberRange, the first open, multi-range infrastructure for measuring autonomous cyber attack capability in realistic cyber ranges. It combines 110 vulnerabilities across 15 real web applications and 8 enterprise-like cyber ranges with 156 internal hosts, plus Cage, a toolchain for execution, orchestration, result collection, and verification. The benchmark covers two core stages: web exploitation, where agents explore exposed applications and validate vulnerabilities, and post exploitation, where agents turn an initial foothold into broader internal compromise. We evaluate six frontier AI systems under matched prompts and budgets. GPT-5.5 with Codex performs best, solving 16.1% of web exploitation tasks and 31.7% of post-exploitation tasks; with more concrete hints, these rates increase to 33.0% and 46.3%. We also observe out-of-benchmark findings, including unknown vulnerabilities in popular projects, and payload mutation that bypasses host defenses. These results show that open cyber-range evaluation is necessary for observing emerging offensive capabilities under realistic and reproducible conditions.

Hardware Architecture Design of Model-Based Image Reconstruction Towards Palm-size Photoacoustic Tomography

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging technology combines the advantages of optical imaging and ultrasound imaging, showing great potential in biomedical applications. Many preclinical studies and clinical applications urgently require fast, high-quality, low-cost and portable imaging system. Translating advanced image reconstruction algorithms into hardware implementations is highly desired. However, existing iterative PA image reconstructions, although exhibit higher accuracy than delay-and-sum algorithm, suffer from high computational cost. In this paper, we introduce a model-based hardware acceleration architecture based on superposed Wave (s-Wave) for palm-size PA tomography (palm-PAT), aiming at enhancing both the speed and performance of image reconstruction at a much lower system cost. To achieve this, we propose an innovative data reuse method that significantly reduces hardware storage resource consumption. We conducted experiments by FPGA implementation of the algorithm, using both phantoms and in vivo human finger data to verify the feasibility of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that our proposed architecture can substantially reduce system cost while maintaining high imaging performance. The hardware-accelerated implementation of the model-based algorithm achieves a speedup of up to approximately 270 times compared to the CPU, while the corresponding energy efficiency ratio is improved by more than 2700 times.

FPGA Acceleration of Image Reconstruction for Real-Time Photoacoustic Tomography

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging has been widely applied in both preclinical and clinical applications. With a significantly increasing number of data acquisition channels, fast and high-quality image reconstruction for real-time PA imaging is an open challenge in this community. In this paper, we propose a FPGA-accelerated method to achieve a much faster image reconstruction speed by 20~60 times compared with using CPU, with much-reduced system cost and power budget, from dozens of Watt (CPU) to 1~2 Watt (FPGA). Equivalently, the energy efficiency ratio (EER) is improved by ~1000 times. This FPGA acceleration method can be easily adapted to the most widely used algorithms, such as delay-and-sum (DAS) and its variants (e.g. DMAS, DAS-CF). We have performed in-vivo human finger experiments to demonstrate the feasibility and potential of the proposed method. To our best knowledge, this is the first study of accelerating PA image reconstruction based on FPGA platform.

A Topology-Controlled Photonic Cavity Based on the Near-Conservation of the Valley Degree of Freedom

We demonstrate a novel path to localizing topologically-nontrivial photonic edge modes along their propagation direction. Our approach is based on the near-conservation of the photonic valley degree of freedom associated with valley-polarized edge states. When the edge state is reflected from a judiciously oriented mirror, its optical energy is localized at the mirror surface because of an extended time delay required for valley-index-flipping. The degree of energy localization at the resulting topology-controlled photonic cavity (TCPC) is determined by the valley-flipping time, which is in turn controlled by the geometry of the mirror. Intuitive analytic descriptions of the "leaky" and closed TCPCs are presented, and two specific designs--one for the microwave and the other for the optical spectral ranges--are proposed.
