LegoQ: Density-Matrix Representation Learning with Spectral-Spatial State Transitions for Hyperspectral Classification

Hyperspectral image classification is complicated by mixed pixels, spectral ambiguity, class imbalance, and limited annotations. Most current classifiers encode a pixel or patch as a deterministic vector and apply a linear or multilayer softmax head. Although effective for discrimination, this representation does not directly expose how mixed or uncertain a sample is. This paper presents \method, a classical density-matrix representation learning framework for hyperspectral images. The spectral bands are divided into groups and each group is mapped to a positive semi-definite, Hermitian, trace-normalized matrix state. A composable stack of spectral, spatial, and inter-group transitions then updates the states while repeatedly projecting them back to the valid state set. Instead of flattening the final features, \method\ aggregates the group states and compares them with learnable class-prototype density matrices through Uhlmann fidelity. The normalized eigenspectrum, von Neumann entropy, purity, and prototype fidelity provide sample-level diagnostics that are unavailable from a conventional vector head. On Indian Pines, ten runs yield an overall accuracy of $96.20\pm0.70\%$, an average accuracy of $95.57\pm1.29\%$, and a kappa coefficient of $95.66\pm0.80\%$. On WHU-Hi-LongKou, the best of ten runs reaches $97.52\%$ overall accuracy. Classification maps and feature projections show that the transition stack produces compact and better separated class structures. The results support constrained matrix-state learning as a practical alternative to vector-only hyperspectral classification without requiring quantum hardware.

P2E-VQ: ECG-linked representation augmentation for PPG via discrete patch retrieval

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is widely used in consumer wearables because of its low cost and ease of acquisition. However, unlike electrocardiography (ECG), PPG measures peripheral pulse dynamics rather than cardiac electrical activity, limiting its ability to predict cardiac conditions that rely on ECG-specific morphological cues. Existing methods attempt to bridge this gap by reconstructing ECG signals from PPG signals. However, this inverse mapping is inherently ill-posed, and faithful waveform reconstruction does not necessarily translate into improved downstream performance. To address this challenge, we propose P2E-VQ, a retrieval-augmented framework that replaces ECG waveform reconstruction with ECG-linked representation retrieval. Specifically, P2E-VQ converts PPG patches into discrete tokens and retrieves ECG-linked information from a memory bank constructed exclusively from the training data. This process augments PPG representations while requiring only PPG signals during inference. Extensive experiments on five public datasets covering six downstream tasks, including clinical endpoint prediction and affective state recognition, demonstrate that P2E-VQ consistently outperforms pretrained baselines under a unified frozen-feature linear-probing protocol.

Physics-Informed Feature Engineering 1D-CNN for Multilayer Cloud Detection from Geostationary Satellites

Multilayer cloud detection from active--passive observation is vital for numerical weather prediction. In this study, channel selections derived from threshold-based algorithms are embedded as feature-engineering priors into a 1D-CNN, and machine learning (ML) is used to learn latent physical relationships to simplify physical retrievals for operational deployment. The results show that the 1D-CNN achieves a multilayer-cloud probability of detection ($\mathrm{POD}{\mathrm{mul}}$) of 0.620 and a false alarm rate ($\mathrm{FAR}{\mathrm{mul}}$) of 0.240, outperforming the conventional threshold algorithm ($\mathrm{POD}{\mathrm{mul}} = 0.558$, $\mathrm{FAR}{\mathrm{mul}} = 0.369$). These results demonstrate that prior physical knowledge derived from radiative transfer theory can serve as an effective feature-engineering prior. Further experiments show that ML-revealed physical mechanisms can also enhance traditional algorithms. Replacing AGRI channel 12 (C12, centered at $10.8~\mu\mathrm{m}$) with channel 13 (C13, centered at $12.0~\mu\mathrm{m}$) increased $\mathrm{POD}{\mathrm{mul}}$ from 0.558 to 0.609 without materially affecting $\mathrm{FAR}{\mathrm{mul}}$. However, for AHI, substituting the $11.2~\mu\mathrm{m}$ channel with the $12.3~\mu\mathrm{m}$ channel yielded negligible improvement. In addition to spectral response function (SRF) mismatches, a primary contributing factor is the channels' on-orbit radiometric stability. Hence, physics-informed machine-learning methods appear promising for advancing remote-sensing AI, while sensor-specific characteristics must be considered during operational transfer.

Disentangled Fine-Grained Prototype Learning for Incomplete Image-Tabular Classification

The missing-modality problem poses a significant challenge in image-tabular multimodal learning across a wide range of multimedia applications, including product understanding, recommendation systems, and medical diagnosis. This challenge is particularly pronounced when the two modalities are highly heterogeneous, as images and tabular attributes differ substantially in their semantic granularity and data distributions. Existing methods learn modality-invariant representations through disentanglement and alignment over global token-averaged features, capturing only coarse cross-modal consistency and overlooking fine-grained semantic and distributional misalignment, which hampers the exploitation of complementary cues under missing modalities. To address this, we propose DFPL, a novel framework for fine-grained prototype learning. Specifically, Shared-Specific Prototype Modeling (SSPM) extracts compact and diverse shared and modality-specific prototypes, and further performs prototype-level disentanglement to suppress redundant intra-modality correlations. Additionally, we propose a Prototype-guided Fine-grained Alignment (PFA) module that jointly enforces prototype-level distribution matching and prototype-to-class semantic alignment within a unified prototype space, thereby preserving both fine-grained distributional and semantic consistency across modalities. We further introduce a Class-aware Multi-scale Aggregation (CMA) module to adaptively aggregate shared semantics and modality-specific characteristics from global and prototype levels for robust predictions. Extensive experiments on three diverse image-tabular benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our method compared to the previous approaches under various missing-modality settings. Code will be made publicly available.

Hybrid Quantum-Classical Spatiotemporal Forecasting for 3D Cloud Fields

Accurate forecasting of three-dimensional (3D) cloud fields is important for atmospheric analysis and short-range numerical weather prediction, yet it remains challenging because cloud evolution involves cross-layer interactions, nonlocal dependencies, and multiscale spatiotemporal dynamics. Existing spatiotemporal prediction models based on convolutions, recurrence, or attention often rely on locality-biased representations and therefore struggle to preserve fine cloud structures in volumetric forecasting tasks. To address this issue, we propose QENO, a hybrid quantum-inspired spatiotemporal forecasting framework for 3D cloud fields. The proposed architecture consists of four components: a classical spatiotemporal encoder for compact latent representation, a topology-aware quantum enhancement block for modeling nonlocal couplings in latent space, a dynamic fusion temporal unit for integrating measurement-derived quantum features with recurrent memory, and a decoder for reconstructing future cloud volumes. Experiments on CMA-MESO 3D cloud fields show that QENO consistently outperforms representative baselines, including ConvLSTM, PredRNN++, Earthformer, TAU, and SimVP variants, in terms of MSE, MAE, RMSE, SSIM, and threshold-based detection metrics. In particular, QENO achieves an MSE of 0.2038, an RMSE of 0.4514, and an SSIM of 0.6291, while also maintaining a compact parameter budget. These results indicate that topology-aware hybrid quantum-classical feature modeling is a promising direction for 3D cloud structure forecasting and atmospheric Earth observation data analysis.

Discovered papers flow seamlessly into \textbf{Library} with one click, where systematic organization progressively builds a user profile that sharpens the recommendations of \textbf{AI Feeds}, which continuously surfaces relevant new publications and in turn guides subsequent exploration, closing the loop from discovery to long-term awareness. On TaxoBench, \textsc{WisPaper} achieves 22.26\% recall, surpassing the O3 baseline (20.92\%). Furthermore, \textsc{WisModel} attains 93.70\% validation accuracy, effectively mitigating retrieval hallucinations.

RetiBridge: Bridging Quantitative Retinal Biomarkers and Qualitative Diagnosis with a Knowledge-Guided Multimodal Large Language Model

Retinal biomarkers captured by color fundus photography and optical coherence tomography provide clinically valuable evidence for both ocular and systemic diseases. Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown promise for retinal image interpretation, yet existing ophthalmic models rarely quantify these clinically relevant biomarkers or explicitly translate their measurements into qualitative, evidence-grounded diagnostic conclusions. To address this gap, we introduce RetiBridge, a knowledge-guided multimodal large language model that jointly analyzes color fundus photography (CFP), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and text, explicitly bridging quantitative retinal biomarkers to qualitative clinical sub-inferences and coherent diagnostic conclusions. RetiBridge combines knowledge-guided instruction generation, OCT-biomarker alignment, and supervised multimodal instruction tuning to learn a biomarker-grounded quantitative-to-qualitative diagnostic pathway. Using 15,611 paired CFP-OCT samples from UK Biobank with 31 OCT and 6 CFP biomarkers, we construct the Grounded Ophthalmic Understanding benchmark to evaluate diagnostic classification, report generation quality, and fine-grained clinical quality. Despite using only LoRA-based fine-tuning of a 7B-parameter Qwen2 backbone, RetiBridge outperforms all evaluated open-source 7B and 32B baselines, achieving the highest quantitative accuracy, evidence grounding, coverage completeness, and BERTScore, while surpassing OpenAI o3 on these key biomarker-grounded metrics. Our code and data are released in the RetiBridge repository.

SGMAGNet: A Baseline Model for 3D Cloud Phase Structure Reconstruction on a New Passive Active Satellite Benchmark

Cloud phase profiles are critical for numerical weather prediction (NWP), as they directly affect radiative transfer and precipitation processes. In this study, we present a benchmark dataset and a baseline framework for transforming multimodal satellite observations into detailed 3D cloud phase structures, aiming toward operational cloud phase profile retrieval and future integration with NWP systems to improve cloud microphysics parameterization. The multimodal observations consist of (1) high--spatiotemporal--resolution, multi-band visible (VIS) and thermal infrared (TIR) imagery from geostationary satellites, and (2) accurate vertical cloud phase profiles from spaceborne lidar (CALIOP\slash CALIPSO) and radar (CPR\slash CloudSat). The dataset consists of synchronized image--profile pairs across diverse cloud regimes, defining a supervised learning task: given VIS/TIR patches, predict the corresponding 3D cloud phase structure. We adopt SGMAGNet as the main model and compare it with several baseline architectures, including UNet variants and SegNet, all designed to capture multi-scale spatial patterns. Model performance is evaluated using standard classification metrics, including Precision, Recall, F1-score, and IoU. The results demonstrate that SGMAGNet achieves superior performance in cloud phase reconstruction, particularly in complex multi-layer and boundary transition regions. Quantitatively, SGMAGNet attains a Precision of 0.922, Recall of 0.858, F1-score of 0.763, and an IoU of 0.617, significantly outperforming all baselines across these key metrics.

Physics-informed waveform inversion using pretrained wavefield neural operators

Full waveform inversion (FWI) is crucial for reconstructing high-resolution subsurface models, but it is often hindered, considering the limited data, by its null space resulting in low-resolution models, and more importantly, by its computational cost, especially if needed for real-time applications. Recent attempts to accelerate FWI using learned wavefield neural operators have shown promise in efficiency and differentiability, but typically suffer from noisy and unstable inversion performance. To address these limitations, we introduce a novel physics-informed FWI framework to enhance the inversion in accuracy while maintaining the efficiency of neural operator-based FWI. Instead of relying only on the L2 norm objective function via automatic differentiation, resulting in noisy model reconstruction, we integrate a physics constraint term in the loss function of FWI, improving the quality of the inverted velocity models. Specifically, starting with an initial model to simulate wavefields and then evaluating the loss over how much the resulting wavefield obeys the physical laws (wave equation) and matches the recorded data, we achieve a reduction in noise and artifacts. Numerical experiments using the OpenFWI and Overthrust models demonstrate our method's superior performance, offering cleaner and more accurate subsurface velocity than vanilla approaches. Considering the efficiency of the approach compared to FWI, this advancement represents a significant step forward in the practical application of FWI for real-time subsurface monitoring.

Huawei Cloud Model-as-a-Service on the CloudMatrix384 SuperPod

Scaled-out MoE LLMs and scaled-up SuperPods create new systems challenges for production Model-as-a-Service (MaaS), requiring disaggregation, low-latency communication, and decentralized serving. This report presents xDeepServe, the production serving system behind Huawei Cloud's MaaS offering on CloudMatrix384, a 48-server SuperPod with 384 Ascend 910C chips connected by a high-bandwidth UB fabric and global shared memory. It serves models including DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, Qwen, and MiniMax, among others. xDeepServe is built around Transformerless, a disaggregated execution architecture that decomposes transformer inference into modular units -- attention, feedforward, and MoE -- and supports disaggregated Prefill-Decode and MoE-Attention deployments. To enable disaggregation, we develop XCCL, a memory-semantic communication layer providing microsecond-level point-to-point and scalable all-to-all primitives, and we extend FlowServe with decentralized DP groups and techniques to mitigate stragglers and synchronization variance. In a peak decoding configuration, xDeepServe reaches 2400 tokens/s per Ascend 910C chip at ~50ms time-per-output-token (TPOT).

Memory-Augmented SAM2 for Training-Free Surgical Video Segmentation

Surgical video segmentation is a critical task in computer-assisted surgery, essential for enhancing surgical quality and patient outcomes. Recently, the Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2) framework has demonstrated remarkable advancements in both image and video segmentation. However, the inherent limitations of SAM2's greedy selection memory design are amplified by the unique properties of surgical videos-rapid instrument movement, frequent occlusion, and complex instrument-tissue interaction-resulting in diminished performance in the segmentation of complex, long videos. To address these challenges, we introduce Memory Augmented (MA)-SAM2, a training-free video object segmentation strategy, featuring novel context-aware and occlusion-resilient memory models. MA-SAM2 exhibits strong robustness against occlusions and interactions arising from complex instrument movements while maintaining accuracy in segmenting objects throughout videos. Employing a multi-target, single-loop, one-prompt inference further enhances the efficiency of the tracking process in multi-instrument videos. Without introducing any additional parameters or requiring further training, MA-SAM2 achieved performance improvements of 4.36% and 6.1% over SAM2 on the EndoVis2017 and EndoVis2018 datasets, respectively, demonstrating its potential for practical surgical applications.

OSDMamba: Enhancing Oil Spill Detection from Remote Sensing Images Using Selective State Space Model

Semantic segmentation is commonly used for Oil Spill Detection (OSD) in remote sensing images. However, the limited availability of labelled oil spill samples and class imbalance present significant challenges that can reduce detection accuracy. Furthermore, most existing methods, which rely on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), struggle to detect small oil spill areas due to their limited receptive fields and inability to effectively capture global contextual information. This study explores the potential of State-Space Models (SSMs), particularly Mamba, to overcome these limitations, building on their recent success in vision applications. We propose OSDMamba, the first Mamba-based architecture specifically designed for oil spill detection. OSDMamba leverages Mamba's selective scanning mechanism to effectively expand the model's receptive field while preserving critical details. Moreover, we designed an asymmetric decoder incorporating ConvSSM and deep supervision to strengthen multi-scale feature fusion, thereby enhancing the model's sensitivity to minority class samples. Experimental results show that the proposed OSDMamba achieves state-of-the-art performance, yielding improvements of 8.9% and 11.8% in OSD across two publicly available datasets.

A Black-Box Evaluation Framework for Semantic Robustness in Bird's Eye View Detection

Camera-based Bird's Eye View (BEV) perception models receive increasing attention for their crucial role in autonomous driving, a domain where concerns about the robustness and reliability of deep learning have been raised. While only a few works have investigated the effects of randomly generated semantic perturbations, aka natural corruptions, on the multi-view BEV detection task, we develop a black-box robustness evaluation framework that adversarially optimises three common semantic perturbations: geometric transformation, colour shifting, and motion blur, to deceive BEV models, serving as the first approach in this emerging field. To address the challenge posed by optimising the semantic perturbation, we design a smoothed, distance-based surrogate function to replace the mAP metric and introduce SimpleDIRECT, a deterministic optimisation algorithm that utilises observed slopes to guide the optimisation process. By comparing with randomised perturbation and two optimisation baselines, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework. Additionally, we provide a benchmark on the semantic robustness of ten recent BEV models. The results reveal that PolarFormer, which emphasises geometric information from multi-view images, exhibits the highest robustness, whereas BEVDet is fully compromised, with its precision reduced to zero.

Geological and Well prior assisted full waveform inversion using conditional diffusion models

Full waveform inversion (FWI) often faces challenges due to inadequate seismic observations, resulting in band-limited and geologically inaccurate inversion results. Incorporating prior information from potential velocity distributions, well-log information, and our geological knowledge and expectations can significantly improve FWI convergence to a realistic model. While diffusion-regularized FWI has shown improved performance compared to conventional FWI by incorporating the velocity distribution prior, it can benefit even more by incorporating well-log information and other geological knowledge priors. To leverage this fact, we propose a geological class and well-information prior-assisted FWI using conditional diffusion models. This method seamlessly integrates multi-modal information into FWI, simultaneously achieving data fitting and universal geologic and geophysics prior matching, which is often not achieved with traditional regularization methods. Specifically, we propose to combine conditional diffusion models with FWI, where we integrate well-log data and geological class conditions into these conditional diffusion models using classifier-free guidance for multi-modal prior matching beyond the original velocity distribution prior. Numerical experiments on the OpenFWI datasets and field marine data demonstrate the effectiveness of our method compared to conventional FWI and the unconditional diffusion-regularized FWI.

Diffusion-based subsurface CO$_2$ multiphysics monitoring and forecasting

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays a crucial role in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from industrial outputs. Using seismic monitoring can aid in an accurate and robust monitoring system to ensure the effectiveness of CCS and mitigate associated risks. However, conventional seismic wave equation-based approaches are computationally demanding, which hinders real-time applications. In addition to efficiency, forecasting and uncertainty analysis are not easy to handle using such numerical-simulation-based approaches. To this end, we propose a novel subsurface multiphysics monitoring and forecasting framework utilizing video diffusion models. This approach can generate high-quality representations of CO$2$ evolution and associated changes in subsurface elastic properties. With reconstruction guidance, forecasting and inversion can be achieved conditioned on historical frames and/or observational data. Meanwhile, due to the generative nature of the approach, we can quantify uncertainty in the prediction. Tests based on the Compass model show that the proposed method successfully captured the inherently complex physical phenomena associated with CO$_2$ monitoring, and it can predict and invert the subsurface elastic properties and CO$_2$ saturation with consistency in their evolution.

Controllable seismic velocity synthesis using generative diffusion models

Accurate seismic velocity estimations are vital to understanding Earth's subsurface structures, assessing natural resources, and evaluating seismic hazards. Machine learning-based inversion algorithms have shown promising performance in regional (i.e., for exploration) and global velocity estimation, while their effectiveness hinges on access to large and diverse training datasets whose distributions generally cover the target solutions. Additionally, enhancing the precision and reliability of velocity estimation also requires incorporating prior information, e.g., geological classes, well logs, and subsurface structures, but current statistical or neural network-based methods are not flexible enough to handle such multi-modal information. To address both challenges, we propose to use conditional generative diffusion models for seismic velocity synthesis, in which we readily incorporate those priors. This approach enables the generation of seismic velocities that closely match the expected target distribution, offering datasets informed by both expert knowledge and measured data to support training for data-driven geophysical methods. We demonstrate the flexibility and effectiveness of our method through training diffusion models on the OpenFWI dataset under various conditions, including class labels, well logs, reflectivity images, and the combination of these priors. The performance of the approach under out-of-distribution conditions further underscores its generalization ability, showcasing its potential to provide tailored priors for velocity inverse problems and create specific training datasets for machine learning-based geophysical applications.

Learnable Gabor kernels in convolutional neural networks for seismic interpretation tasks

The use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in seismic interpretation tasks, like facies classification, has garnered a lot of attention for its high accuracy. However, its drawback is usually poor generalization when trained with limited training data pairs, especially for noisy data. Seismic images are dominated by diverse wavelet textures corresponding to seismic facies with various petrophysical parameters, which can be suitably represented by Gabor functions. Inspired by this fact, we propose using learnable Gabor convolutional kernels in the first layer of a CNN network to improve its generalization. The modified network combines the interpretability features of Gabor filters and the reliable learning ability of original CNN. More importantly, it replaces the pixel nature of conventional CNN filters with a constrained function form that depends on 5 parameters that are more in line with seismic signatures. Further, we constrain the angle and wavelength of the Gabor kernels to certain ranges in the training process based on what we expect in the seismic images. The experiments on the Netherland F3 dataset show the effectiveness of the proposed method in a seismic facies classification task, especially when applied to testing data with lower signal-to-noise ratios. Besides, we also test this modified CNN using different kernels on salt$\&$pepper and speckle noise. The results show that we obtain the best generalization and robustness of the CNN to noise when Gabor kernels are used in the first layer.

A prior regularized full waveform inversion using generative diffusion models

Full waveform inversion (FWI) has the potential to provide high-resolution subsurface model estimations. However, due to limitations in observation, e.g., regional noise, limited shots or receivers, and band-limited data, it is hard to obtain the desired high-resolution model with FWI. To address this challenge, we propose a new paradigm for FWI regularized by generative diffusion models. Specifically, we pre-train a diffusion model in a fully unsupervised manner on a prior velocity model distribution that represents our expectations of the subsurface and then adapt it to the seismic observations by incorporating the FWI into the sampling process of the generative diffusion models. What makes diffusion models uniquely appropriate for such an implementation is that the generative process retains the form and dimensions of the velocity model. Numerical examples demonstrate that our method can outperform the conventional FWI with only negligible additional computational cost. Even in cases of very sparse observations or observations with strong noise, the proposed method could still reconstruct a high-quality subsurface model. Thus, we can incorporate our prior expectations of the solutions in an efficient manner. We further test this approach on field data, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
