Projection-Volume Fidelity Divergence: Diagnosing and Controlling Optimization Drift in Sparse-View 3D Gaussian Tomography

Sparse-view computed tomography is a severely ill-posed inverse problem, where recent 3D Gaussian Splatting methods offer an efficient explicit representation for tomographic reconstruction. However, we find that projection-domain optimization can be misleading in this setting: the rendered projections may continue to improve while the reconstructed volume deteriorates. We identify this failure mode as Projection-Volume Fidelity Divergence (PVFD), a representation-level optimization drift caused by anisotropic Gaussian deformation and view-specific primitive co-adaptation under sparse Radon constraints. To characterize this behavior, we introduce geometry- and volume-level diagnostics that measure needle-like Gaussian degeneration and the stability of the voxelized density field. Based on these observations, we propose LADES, a ground-truth-free optimization controller for sparse-view Gaussian tomography. LADES combines Linearly Annealed Dropout, which applies strong stochastic masking in early training to disrupt premature primitive co-adaptation and gradually restores full capacity for structural consolidation, with Structure-Aware Early Stopping, which terminates densification according to the saturation of Gaussian population growth rather than validation PSNR. Experiments on sparse-view CT reconstruction show that LADES improves volumetric fidelity, suppresses structural degeneration, and substantially reduces training time while maintaining competitive projection accuracy. These results suggest that robust Gaussian-based tomography requires monitoring and controlling volumetric structure, rather than optimizing projection fit alone.

GR-Gaussian: Graph-Based Radiative Gaussian Splatting for Sparse-View CT Reconstruction

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a promising approach for CT reconstruction. However, existing methods rely on the average gradient magnitude of points within the view, often leading to severe needle-like artifacts under sparse-view conditions. To address this challenge, we propose GR-Gaussian, a graph-based 3D Gaussian Splatting framework that suppresses needle-like artifacts and improves reconstruction accuracy under sparse-view conditions. Our framework introduces two key innovations: (1) a Denoised Point Cloud Initialization Strategy that reduces initialization errors and accelerates convergence; and (2) a Pixel-Graph-Aware Gradient Strategy that refines gradient computation using graph-based density differences, improving splitting accuracy and density representation. Experiments on X-3D and real-world datasets validate the effectiveness of GR-Gaussian, achieving PSNR improvements of 0.67 dB and 0.92 dB, and SSIM gains of 0.011 and 0.021. These results highlight the applicability of GR-Gaussian for accurate CT reconstruction under challenging sparse-view conditions.

LaMMA-P: Generalizable Multi-Agent Long-Horizon Task Allocation and Planning with LM-Driven PDDL Planner

Language models (LMs) possess a strong capability to comprehend natural language, making them effective in translating human instructions into detailed plans for simple robot tasks. Nevertheless, it remains a significant challenge to handle long-horizon tasks, especially in subtask identification and allocation for cooperative heterogeneous robot teams. To address this issue, we propose a Language Model-Driven Multi-Agent PDDL Planner (LaMMA-P), a novel multi-agent task planning framework that achieves state-of-the-art performance on long-horizon tasks. LaMMA-P integrates the strengths of the LMs' reasoning capability and the traditional heuristic search planner to achieve a high success rate and efficiency while demonstrating strong generalization across tasks. Additionally, we create MAT-THOR, a comprehensive benchmark that features household tasks with two different levels of complexity based on the AI2-THOR environment. The experimental results demonstrate that LaMMA-P achieves a 105% higher success rate and 36% higher efficiency than existing LM-based multiagent planners. The experimental videos, code, datasets, and detailed prompts used in each module can be found on the project website: https://lamma-p.github.io.

Global Convergence of an SQP Method for Contact-Implicit Trajectory Optimization

Contact-Implicit Trajectory Optimization (CITO) is a powerful framework for planning motions of robots that interact with complex environments, but its convergence behavior remains difficult to characterize. Existing formulations either rely on off-the-shelf nonlinear programming solvers whose guarantees require constraint qualifications that are hard to verify for contact-rich systems, or require differentiable explicit dynamics maps that are difficult to formulate in the presence of impacts, changing contact modes, and geometric non-smoothness. This paper studies CITO for a broader class of constraint-rich dynamic systems formulated through implicit physics constraints. By exploiting maximal-coordinate structure, penalty relaxations of equality and inequality constraints, and finite-horizon Hamiltonian bounds, we prove global convergence in the numerical-optimization sense for a specific line-search Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) method with adaptive timestep refinement. Under the stated constraint-rich dynamic-system assumptions and fixed pre-horizon data satisfying the strict-interior predecessor condition, the method terminates finitely from any finite discretized optimized trajectory guess at an $\epsilon$-feasible, force-parameterized stationary point---a unit-objective, penalty-induced force-parameterized Fritz--John certificate for smooth damping, weakening to a homogeneous force-parameterized Clarke--Fritz--John certificate whose objective multiplier may vanish under nonsmooth frictional contact.
