AICC: Parse HTML Finer, Make Models Better -- A 7.3T AI-Ready Corpus Built by a Model-Based HTML Parser

While web data quality is crucial for large language models, most curation efforts focus on filtering and deduplication,treating HTML-to-text extraction as a fixed pre-processing step. Existing web corpora rely on heuristic-based extractors like Trafilatura, which struggle to preserve document structure and frequently corrupt structured elements such as formulas, codes, and tables. We hypothesize that improving extraction quality can be as impactful as aggressive filtering strategies for downstream performance. We introduce MinerU-HTML, a novel extraction pipeline that reformulates content extraction as a sequence labeling problem solved by a 0.6B-parameter language model. Unlike text-density heuristics, MinerU-HTML leverages semantic understanding and employs a two-stage formatting pipeline that explicitly categorizes semantic elements before converting to Markdown. Crucially, its model-based approach is inherently scalable, whereas heuristic methods offer limited improvement pathways. On MainWebBench, our benchmark of 7,887 annotated web pages, MinerU-HTML achieves 81.8\% ROUGE-N F1 compared to Trafilatura's 63.6\%, with exceptional structured element preservation (90.9\% for code blocks, 94.0\% for formulas). Using MinerU-HTML, we construct AICC (AI-ready Common Crawl), a 7.3-trillion token multilingual corpus from two Common Crawl snapshots. In controlled pretraining experiments where AICC and Trafilatura-extracted TfCC undergo identical filtering, models trained on AICC (62B tokens) achieve 50.8\% average accuracy across 13 benchmarks, outperforming TfCC by 1.08pp-providing direct evidence that extraction quality significantly impacts model capabilities. AICC also surpasses RefinedWeb and FineWeb on key benchmarks. We publicly release MainWebBench, MinerU-HTML, and AICC, demonstrating that HTML extraction is a critical, often underestimated component of web corpus construction.

Efficient and Verifiable Privacy-Preserving Convolutional Computation for CNN Inference with Untrusted Clouds

The widespread adoption of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in resource-constrained scenarios has driven the development of Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) system. However, this approach is susceptible to privacy leakage, as the data sent from the client to the untrusted cloud server often contains sensitive information. Existing CNN privacy-preserving schemes, while effective in ensuring data confidentiality through homomorphic encryption and secret sharing, face efficiency bottlenecks, particularly in convolution operations. In this paper, we propose a novel verifiable privacy-preserving scheme tailored for CNN convolutional layers. Our scheme enables efficient encryption and decryption, allowing resource-constrained clients to securely offload computations to the untrusted cloud server. Additionally, we present a verification mechanism capable of detecting the correctness of the results with a success probability of at least $1-\frac{1}{\left|Z\right|}$. Extensive experiments conducted on 10 datasets and various CNN models demonstrate that our scheme achieves speedups ranging $26 \times$ ~ $\ 87\times$ compared to the original plaintext model while maintaining accuracy.

Expanding the Pressure Frontier in Grüneisen Parameter Measurement: Study of Sodium Chloride

The Grüneisen parameter (γ) is crucial for determining many thermal properties, including the anharmonic effect, thermostatistics, and equation of state (EOS) of materials. However, the isentropic adiabatic compression conditions required to measure the Grüneisen parameter under high pressure are difficult to achieve. Thus, direct experimental Grüneisen parameter data in a wide range of pressures is sparse. In this work, we developed a new device that can apply pressure (up to tens of GPa) with an extremely short time about 0.5 ms, confidently achieving isentropic adiabatic compression. Then, we applied our new technique to sodium chloride and measured its Grüneisen parameter, which conforms to previous theoretical predictions. According to our obtained sodium chloride Grüneisen parameters, the calculated Hugoniot curve of the NaCl B1 phase appears up to 20 GPa and 960 K, which compares very well with the shock compression experiment data by Fritz et al. and other calculation works. Our results suggest that this new method can reliably measure the Grüneisen parameter of even more materials, which is significant for researching the equation of state in substances.

A serial dual-channel library occupancy detection system based on Faster RCNN

The phenomenon of seat occupancy in university libraries is a prevalent issue. However, existing solutions, such as software-based seat reservations and sensors-based occupancy detection, have proven to be inadequate in effectively addressing this problem. In this study, we propose a novel approach: a serial dual-channel object detection model based on Faster RCNN. This model is designed to discern all instances of occupied seats within the library and continuously update real-time information regarding seat occupancy status. To train the neural network, a distinctive dataset is utilized, which blends virtual images generated using Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) with real-world images. Notably, our test results underscore the remarkable performance uplift attained through the application of self-generated virtual datasets in training Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), particularly within specialized scenarios. Furthermore, this study introduces a pioneering detection model that seamlessly amalgamates the Faster R-CNN-based object detection framework with a transfer learning-based object classification algorithm. This amalgamation not only significantly curtails the computational resources and time investments needed for neural network training but also considerably heightens the efficiency of single-frame detection rates. Additionally, a user-friendly web interface and a mobile application have been meticulously developed, constituting a computer vision-driven platform for detecting seat occupancy within library premises. Noteworthy is the substantial enhancement in seat occupancy recognition accuracy, coupled with a reduction in computational resources required for neural network training, collectively contributing to a considerable amplification in the overall efficiency of library seat management.

Discovery of carbon-based strongest and hardest amorphous material

Carbon is likely the most fascinating element of the periodic table because of the diversity of its allotropes stemming from its variable (sp, sp2, and sp3) bonding motifs. Exploration of new forms of carbon has been an eternal theme of contemporary scientific research. Here we report on novel amorphous carbon phases containing high fraction of sp3 bonded atoms recovered after compressing fullerene C60 to previously unexplored high pressure and temperature. The synthesized carbons are the hardest and strongest amorphous materials known to date, capable of scratching diamond crystal and approaching its strength which is evidenced by complimentary mechanical tests. Photoluminescence and absorption spectra of the materials demonstrate they are semiconductors with tunable bandgaps in the range of 1.5-2.2 eV, comparable to that of amorphous silicon. A remarkable combination of the outstanding mechanical and electronic properties makes this class of amorphous carbons an excellent candidate for photovoltaic applications demanding ultrahigh strength and wear resistance.

DeepBlindness: Fast Blindness Map Estimation and Blindness Type Classification for Outdoor Scene from Single Color Image

Outdoor vision robotic systems and autonomous cars suffer from many image-quality issues, particularly haze, defocus blur, and motion blur, which we will define generically as "blindness issues". These blindness issues may seriously affect the performance of robotic systems and could lead to unsafe decisions being made. However, existing solutions either focus on one type of blindness only or lack the ability to estimate the degree of blindness accurately. Besides, heavy computation is needed so that these solutions cannot run in real-time on practical systems. In this paper, we provide a method which could simultaneously detect the type of blindness and provide a blindness map indicating to what degree the vision is limited on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Both the blindness type and the estimate of per-pixel blindness are essential for tasks like deblur, dehaze, or the fail-safe functioning of robotic systems. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on the KITTI and CUHK datasets where experiments show that our method outperforms other state-of-the-art approaches, achieving speeds of about 130 frames per second (fps).

Downhole Track Detection via Multiscale Conditional Generative Adversarial Nets

Frequent mine disasters cause a large number of casualties and property losses. Autonomous driving is a fundamental measure for solving this problem, and track detection is one of the key technologies for computer vision to achieve downhole automatic driving. The track detection result based on the traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm lacks the detailed and unique description of the object and relies too much on visual postprocessing technology. Therefore, this paper proposes a track detection algorithm based on a multiscale conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN). The generator is decomposed into global and local parts using a multigranularity structure in the generator network. A multiscale shared convolution structure is adopted in the discriminator network to further supervise training the generator. Finally, the Monte Carlo search technique is introduced to search the intermediate state of the generator, and the result is sent to the discriminator for comparison. Compared with the existing work, our model achieved 82.43\% pixel accuracy and an average intersection-over-union (IOU) of 0.6218, and the detection of the track reached 95.01\% accuracy in the downhole roadway scene test set.
