K-Gen: A Multimodal Language-Conditioned Approach for Interpretable Keypoint-Guided Trajectory Generation

Generating realistic and diverse trajectories is a critical challenge in autonomous driving simulation. While Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise, existing methods often rely on structured data like vectorized maps, which fail to capture the rich, unstructured visual context of a scene. To address this, we propose K-Gen, an interpretable keypoint-guided multimodal framework that leverages Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to unify rasterized BEV map inputs with textual scene descriptions. Instead of directly predicting full trajectories, K-Gen generates interpretable keypoints along with reasoning that reflects agent intentions, which are subsequently refined into accurate trajectories by a refinement module. To further enhance keypoint generation, we apply T-DAPO, a trajectory-aware reinforcement fine-tuning algorithm. Experiments on WOMD and nuPlan demonstrate that K-Gen outperforms existing baselines, highlighting the effectiveness of combining multimodal reasoning with keypoint-guided trajectory generation.

SaFeR: Safety-Critical Scenario Generation for Autonomous Driving Test via Feasibility-Constrained Token Resampling

Safety-critical scenario generation is crucial for evaluating autonomous driving systems. However, existing approaches often struggle to balance three conflicting objectives: adversarial criticality, physical feasibility, and behavioral realism. To bridge this gap, we propose SaFeR: safety-critical scenario generation for autonomous driving test via feasibility-constrained token resampling. We first formulate traffic generation as a discrete next token prediction problem, employing a Transformer-based model as a realism prior to capture naturalistic driving distributions. To capture complex interactions while effectively mitigating attention noise, we propose a novel differential attention mechanism within the realism prior. Building on this prior, SaFeR implements a novel resampling strategy that induces adversarial behaviors within a high-probability trust region to maintain naturalism, while enforcing a feasibility constraint derived from the Largest Feasible Region (LFR). By approximating the LFR via offline reinforcement learning, SaFeR effectively prevents the generation of theoretically inevitable collisions. Closed-loop experiments on the Waymo Open Motion Dataset and nuPlan demonstrate that SaFeR significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving a higher solution rate and superior kinematic realism while maintaining strong adversarial effectiveness.

Experimental Study of Bremsstrahlung Gamma Ray Emission and Short-Range Correlations in $^{124}$Sn+$^{124}$Sn Collisions at 25 MeV/u

Short-range correlation (SRC) in nuclei refers to nucleons forming temporally correlated pairs in close proximity, giving rise to the high momentum of the nucleons beyond the Fermi surface. It has been reported that bremsstrahlung $\gamma$ production from neutron-proton process in heavy-ion reactions provides a potential probe to the SRC abundance in nuclei. In this paper, we present in detail the precision measurement of bremsstrahlung $\gamma$-rays in $\rm ^{124}Sn$+$\rm ^{124}Sn$ reactions at 25 MeV/u using the Compact Spectrometer for Heavy IoN Experiment (CSHINE). A comprehensive experimental and analysis framework is established to ensure the reliability and robustness of the extracted results. Background contributions are evaluated and subtracted using independent methods, and the consistency of the analysis is systematically validated. By comparing the experimental $\gamma$ spectrum with the Isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck simulations, the high momentum tail (HMT) fraction of $R_{\rm HMT}=(20 \pm 3)\%$ is derived in $^{124}$Sn nuclei. This work provides a detailed and validated experimental framework for extracting SRC information from bremsstrahlung $\gamma$-ray emission and demonstrates the feasibility of studying nucleon SRCs with high precision in low-energy heavy-ion collisions.

Precise Measurement of Short-Range Correlations in Nuclei from Bremsstrahlung Gamma Ray Emission in Low-Energy Heavy-Ion Collisions

Atomic nuclei and dense nucleonic matter in neutron stars exhibit short-range correlations (SRCs), where nucleons form temporally correlated pairs in proximity beyond mean-field approximation. It is essential to make precision measurement of the fraction of SRC since it carries the signature of underlying quark dynamics in nuclear medium. In this letter, we present the first high-precision measurement of neutron-proton bremsstrahlung $\gamma$-ray emission from the symmetric $\rm ^{124}Sn$+$\rm ^{124}Sn$ reactions at 25 MeV/u. From the observed spectral hardening, the precise SRC fraction in the $\rm ^{124}Sn$ nucleus is extracted to be $(20 \pm 3)\%$. This result provides a novel, direct and unambiguous evidence of SRCs, and demonstrates that low-energy heavy-ion collisions offers a new approach to studying nuclear structure in connection with quark-level dynamics.

Extract neutron-neutron interaction strength and spatial-temporal dynamics of neutron emission from two-particle correlation function

The neutron-neutron ($nn$) correlation function has been measured in 25 MeV/u $^{124}$Sn+$^{124}$Sn reactions. Using the Lednick\'y-Lyuboshitz approach, the $nn$ scattering length and effective range ($f_{0}^{nn}$, $d_{0}^{nn}$), as well as the reduced space-time size $R^{(0)}$ of the neutron emission source are simultaneously extracted as ($18.9^{+1.3}_{-1.2}$ fm, $1.9^{+1.3}_{-1.0}$ fm) and $4.12 \pm 0.12$ fm, respectively. The measured $nn$ scattering length is consistent with the results obtained in the low-energy scattering $^{2}{\rm H}(\pi^{-},\gamma)2n$, indicating heavy-ion collisions can serve as an effective approach for measuring $nn$ interactions and further investigating the charge symmetry breaking of nuclear force. The space-time size extracted from momentum-gated correlation functions exhibits clear dependence on the pair momentum, with $R^{(0)}=2.8 \pm 0.1 $ fm and $4.9 \pm 0.2$ fm being determined for the high and low momentum neutrons, respectively.

The neutron array of the compact spectrometer for heavy ion experiments in Fermi energy region

The emission of neutrons from heavy ion reactions is an important observable for studying the asymmetric nuclear equation of state and the reaction dynamics. A 20-unit neutron array has been developed and mounted on the compact spectrometer for heavy ion experiments (CSHINE) to measure the neutron spectra, neutron-neutron and neutron-proton correlation functions. Each unit consists of a $\rm 15\times 15\times 15~cm^3$ plastic scintillator coupled to a $ \phi=52 ~\rm mm$ photomultiplier. The Geant4 simulation with optical process is performed to investigate the time resolution and the neutron detection efficiency. The inherent time resolution of 212 ps is obtained by cosmic ray coincidence test. The n-$\gamma$ discrimination and time-of-flight performance are given by $\rm ^{252}Cf$ radioactive source test and beam test. The neutron energy spectra have been obtained in the angle range $30^\circ \le \theta_{\rm lab} \le 51^\circ$ in the beam experiment of $^{124}$Sn+$^{124}$Sn at 25 MeV/u with CSHINE.

The Extended Resonant Modal Theory and Its Applications

In this paper, we extend the resonant modal theory (RMT) developed previously for a metal object to an arbitrary source region consisting of metals, dielectrics, or the combination of both. The influences of dielectrics on the fields are replaced by equivalent volume sources through the use of the compensation theorem in electromagnetic theory. The resonant frequencies can be determined by finding the roots of the determinant of the matrix resulted from the discretization of the real homogeneous volume-surface integral equation derived from the requirement that the difference of stored field energies in the source region vanishes. As applications of the extended RMT, three examples have been investigated. The first example is a dielectric resonator antenna, and is designed by exciting the first resonant mode of the composite structure in which the dielectric cylinder is combined with a conformal metallic strip. The second example is a dual-band dielectric-coated metallic wire antenna. The third example studies the resonant modes of a rectangular patch antenna.

Dynamic Stashing Quantization for Efficient Transformer Training

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance on a range of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. Unfortunately, the immense amount of computations and memory accesses required for LLM training makes them prohibitively expensive in terms of hardware cost, and thus challenging to deploy in use cases such as on-device learning. In this paper, motivated by the observation that LLM training is memory-bound, we propose a novel dynamic quantization strategy, termed Dynamic Stashing Quantization (DSQ), that puts a special focus on reducing the memory operations, but also enjoys the other benefits of low precision training, such as the reduced arithmetic cost. We conduct a thorough study on two translation tasks (trained-from-scratch) and three classification tasks (fine-tuning). DSQ reduces the amount of arithmetic operations by $20.95\times$ and the number of DRAM operations by $2.55\times$ on IWSLT17 compared to the standard 16-bit fixed-point, which is widely used in on-device learning.

Robust Continual Learning through a Comprehensively Progressive Bayesian Neural Network

This work proposes a comprehensively progressive Bayesian neural network for robust continual learning of a sequence of tasks. A Bayesian neural network is progressively pruned and grown such that there are sufficient network resources to represent a sequence of tasks, while the network does not explode. It starts with the contention that similar tasks should have the same number of total network resources, to ensure fair representation of all tasks in a continual learning scenario. Thus, as the data for new task streams in, sufficient neurons are added to the network such that the total number of neurons in each layer of the network, including the shared representations with previous tasks and individual task related representation, are equal for all tasks. The weights that are redundant at the end of training each task are also pruned through re-initialization, in order to be efficiently utilized in the subsequent task. Thus, the network grows progressively, but ensures effective utilization of network resources. We refer to our proposed method as 'Robust Continual Learning through a Comprehensively Progressive Bayesian Neural Network (RCL-CPB)' and evaluate the proposed approach on the MNIST data set, under three different continual learning scenarios. Further to this, we evaluate the performance of RCL-CPB on a homogeneous sequence of tasks using split CIFAR100 (20 tasks of 5 classes each), and a heterogeneous sequence of tasks using MNIST, SVHN and CIFAR10 data sets. The demonstrations and the performance results show that the proposed strategies for progressive BNN enable robust continual learning.

Deep-learning-based optical image hiding

A novel framework of optical image hiding based on deep learning (DL) is proposed in this paper, and hidden information can be reconstructed from an interferogram by using an end to end network with high-quality. By using the prior data between the hidden image and the object image, a generative adversarial network was trained so that it can learn the hiding model, which resulting in only an interferogram needs to be transmitted and recorded to reconstruct image. Moreover, reconstruction process can be obtained without the parameters in optical inverse diffraction and the reconstruction result will not be affected by the phase shifts deviation and noise, which is convenient for practical application. The feasibility and security of the proposed method are demonstrated by the optical experiment results.

The variation of relative magnetic helicity around major flares

We have investigated the variation of magnetic helicity over a span of several days around the times of 11 X-class flares which occurred in seven active regions (NOAA 9672, 10030, 10314, 10486, 10564, 10696, and 10720) using the magnetograms taken by the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). As a major result we found that each of these major flares was preceded by a significant helicity accumulation over a long period (0.5 to a few days). Another finding is that the helicity accumulates at a nearly constant rate and then becomes nearly constant before the flares. This led us to distinguish the helicity variation into two phases: a phase of monotonically increasing helicity and the following phase of relatively constant helicity. As expected, the amount of helicity accumulated shows a modest correlation with time-integrated soft X-ray flux during flares. However, the average helicity change rate in the first phase shows even stronger correlation with the time-integrated soft X-ray flux. We discuss the physical implications of this result and the possibility that this characteristic helicity variation pattern can be used as an early warning sign for solar eruptions.
