SafeDivertor: Faithful Divertor Heat Flux Reconstruction from Macroscopic Plasma State Signals via Time-Frequency Prior Exploitation

Divertor heat-flux analysis is essential for understanding plasma-wall interactions and protecting plasma-facing components in magnetic-confinement fusion devices, while conventional infrared-based inversion is usually performed after discharge and requires heat-conduction modeling with device-specific material properties, divertor geometry, and boundary conditions. Rather than accelerating this conventional infrared-based inversion paradigm, we introduce a new online-oriented signal-based reconstruction paradigm that directly reconstructs time-resolved radial heat-flux profiles from multi-source macroscopic plasma-state signals available during discharge. To enable systematic study of this task, we construct \textbf{DivMPS2HF}, a multi-source discharge dataset that provides the data foundation and benchmark for signal-based divertor heat-flux reconstruction. We further propose \textbf{SafeDivertor}, a task-driven framework designed to address the key challenges of signal-based heat-flux reconstruction. It employs physical prior-aware initialization to provide radial-distribution guidance for target channels, input perturbation to reduce over-reliance on specific heterogeneous signals, spectral-aware reconstruction optimization to exploit time-frequency priors and preserve transient dynamics, and progressive training to stabilize the optimization of these complementary objectives. Experiments on DivMPS2HF demonstrate that SafeDivertor achieves the best overall performance among the evaluated time-series baselines across all five metrics, establishing a new performance benchmark for signal-based divertor heat-flux reconstruction.

Visible-Light Imaging Diagnosis of Neutral Particle Emission Tomography in the Tokamak Divertor: An Efficient Transformer-based Surrogate Model

Nuclear fusion has made significant progress in recent years and is expected to become one of the most important pathways to addressing global energy challenges. This paper focuses on observing plasma using visible-light cameras, analyzing its spatio-temporal motion cues, and predicting the two-dimensional spatial distribution of light intensity, aiming to provide a foundational basis for future scientific experiments using deep neural networks. Specifically, we propose Delta-InvFormer, a novel backbone network centered on a differential Transformer. The key insight is that by taking consecutive video frames as input, we can better capture the dynamics of the plasma. Moreover, spatial and temporal differential self-attention effectively mitigates interference from noisy signals, ensuring high-quality feature extraction. These features are then fused into a compact and informative representation, which is fed into a decoder network to predict the distribution. Based on real experimental data collected from the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) large-scale scientific facility, our results demonstrate that the proposed model not only significantly accelerates traditional methods for distribution prediction but also achieves competitive reconstruction accuracy.

Hierarchical Multi-to-Single-Modal Knowledge Distillation for Disruption Prediction in EAST

Plasma disruption is a critical threat to tokamak safety. Existing data-driven predictors mainly rely on time-series diagnostic signals, while visible images provide complementary spatial cues including plasma deformation, local brightening, and radiation-structure evolution. Although the image modality improves the model's discriminative capability, it also substantially increases the computational cost during inference. To address this issue, we propose a hierarchical multi-to-single-modal knowledge distillation framework for disruption prediction on a synchronized EAST multimodal dataset. During training, visible images and time-series signals are used to train a multimodal teacher, which learns disruption precursor representations through Transformer-based encoders and a prototype-guided spatiotemporal hypergraph module. During inference, only the time-series student is retained, with multimodal knowledge transferred through graph-structure-level, representation-level, and decision-level distillation. On the 640-discharge EAST dataset, the results demonstrate that the proposed framework can preserve the discriminative advantages of multimodal learning while substantially reducing inference cost, and providing an effective route for efficient disruption prediction in EAST.

NESTOR: A Nested MOE-based Neural Operator for Large-Scale PDE Pre-Training

Neural operators have emerged as an efficient paradigm for solving PDEs, overcoming the limitations of traditional numerical methods and significantly improving computational efficiency. However, due to the diversity and complexity of PDE systems, existing neural operators typically rely on a single network architecture, which limits their capacity to fully capture heterogeneous features and complex system dependencies. This constraint poses a bottleneck for large-scale PDE pre-training based on neural operators. To address these challenges, we propose a large-scale PDE pre-trained neural operator based on a nested Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) framework. In particular, the image-level MoE is designed to capture global dependencies, while the token-level Sub-MoE focuses on local dependencies. Our model can selectively activate the most suitable expert networks for a given input, thereby enhancing generalization and transferability. We conduct large-scale pre-training on twelve PDE datasets from diverse sources and successfully transfer the model to downstream tasks. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

SUG-Occ: Explicit Semantics and Uncertainty Guided Sparse Learning for Efficient 3D Occupancy Prediction

3D semantic occupancy prediction has emerged as a critical perception task for autonomous driving due to its ability to offer voxel-level semantic and geometric understanding of the environment. However, such a refined representation for large-scale scenes incurs prohibitive computation, posing a significant challenge to practical real-time deployment. To address this, we propose SUGOcc, an explicit semantics and uncertainty guided sparse learning framework for efficient occupancy prediction, which exploits the inherent sparsity of 3D scenes to reduce redundant computation while maintaining geometric and semantic integrity. Specifically, we first utilize semantic and uncertainty priors to suppress image projections from free space while employing explicit unsigned distance encoding to enhance geometric consistency, thereby producing a structurally sparse representation. Secondly, we introduce a cascade sparse completion module to enable efficient coarse-to-fine reasoning over the sparse representation via hyper cross sparse convolution, generative upsampling and adaptive pruning. Finally, we propose an object contextual representation (OCR) based mask decoder that refines the voxel-wise predictions through lightweight query-context interactions, thereby avoiding expensive attention operations over volumetric features. Extensive experiments on SemanticKITTI and Occ3D-Nuscenes benchmark demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the baselines, achieving notable improvements in both accuracy and efficiency across datasets.

You Share Beliefs, I Adapt: Progressive Heterogeneous Collaborative Perception

Collaborative perception enables vehicles to overcome individual perception limitations by sharing information, allowing them to see further and through occlusions. In real-world scenarios, models on different vehicles are often heterogeneous due to manufacturer variations. Existing methods for heterogeneous collaborative perception address this challenge by fine-tuning adapters or the entire network to bridge the domain gap. However, these methods are impractical in real-world applications, as each new collaborator must undergo joint training with the ego vehicle on a dataset before inference, or the ego vehicle stores models for all potential collaborators in advance. Therefore, we pose a new question: Can we tackle this challenge directly during inference, eliminating the need for joint training? To answer this, we introduce Progressive Heterogeneous Collaborative Perception (PHCP), a novel framework that formulates the problem as few-shot unsupervised domain adaptation. Unlike previous work, PHCP dynamically aligns features by self-training an adapter during inference, eliminating the need for labeled data and joint training. Extensive experiments on the OPV2V dataset demonstrate that PHCP achieves strong performance across diverse heterogeneous scenarios. Notably, PHCP achieves performance comparable to SOTA methods trained on the entire dataset while using only a small amount of unlabeled data.

Revisiting Heat Flux Analysis of Tungsten Monoblock Divertor on EAST using Physics-Informed Neural Network

Estimating heat flux in the nuclear fusion device EAST is a critically important task. Traditional scientific computing methods typically model this process using the Finite Element Method (FEM). However, FEM relies on grid-based sampling for computation, which is computationally inefficient and hard to perform real-time simulations during actual experiments. Inspired by artificial intelligence-powered scientific computing, this paper proposes a novel Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) to address this challenge, significantly accelerating the heat conduction estimation process while maintaining high accuracy. Specifically, given inputs of different materials, we first feed spatial coordinates and time stamps into the neural network, and compute boundary loss, initial condition loss, and physical loss based on the heat conduction equation. Additionally, we sample a small number of data points in a data-driven manner to better fit the specific heat conduction scenario, further enhancing the model's predictive capability. We conduct experiments under both uniform and non-uniform heating conditions on the top surface. Experimental results show that the proposed thermal conduction physics-informed neural network achieves accuracy comparable to the finite element method, while achieving $\times$40 times acceleration in computational efficiency. The dataset and source code will be released on https://github.com/Event-AHU/OpenFusion.

HGTS-Former: Hierarchical HyperGraph Transformer for Multivariate Time Series Analysis

Multivariate time series analysis has long been one of the key research topics in the field of artificial intelligence. However, analyzing complex time series data remains a challenging and unresolved problem due to its high dimensionality, dynamic nature, and complex interactions among variables. Inspired by the strong structural modeling capability of hypergraphs, this paper proposes a novel hypergraph-based time series Transformer backbone network, termed HGTS-Former, to address the multivariate coupling in time series data. Specifically, given the multivariate time series signal, we first normalize and embed each patch into tokens. Then, we adopt the multi-head self-attention to enhance the temporal representation of each patch. The hierarchical hypergraphs are constructed to aggregate the temporal patterns within each channel and fine-grained relations between different variables. After that, we convert the hyperedge into node features through the EdgeToNode module and adopt the feed-forward network to further enhance the output features. Extensive experiments on multiple representative time series analysis tasks and public datasets fully validated the effectiveness of our proposed HGTS-Former. Moreover, we present EAST-ELM640, a large-scale time series dataset for Edge-Localized Mode (ELM) recognition in nuclear fusion, on which we achieve state-of-the-art performance.

A Synthetic Benchmark for Collaborative 3D Semantic Occupancy Prediction in V2X-Enabled Autonomous Driving

3D semantic occupancy prediction is an emerging perception paradigm in autonomous driving, providing a voxel-level representation of both geometric details and semantic categories. However, its effectiveness is inherently constrained in single-vehicle setups by occlusions, restricted sensor range, and narrow viewpoints. To address these limitations, collaborative perception enables the exchange of complementary information, thereby enhancing the completeness and accuracy of predictions. Despite its potential, research on collaborative 3D semantic occupancy prediction is hindered by the lack of dedicated datasets. To bridge this gap, we design a high-resolution semantic voxel sensor in CARLA to produce dense and comprehensive annotations. We further develop a baseline model that performs inter-agent feature fusion via spatial alignment and attention aggregation. In addition, we establish benchmarks with varying prediction ranges designed to systematically assess the impact of spatial extent on collaborative prediction. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of our baseline, with increasing gains observed as range expands.

Population rate coding in recurrent neuronal networks with undetermined-type neurons

Neural coding is a key problem in neuroscience, which can promote people's understanding of the mechanism that brain processes information. Among the classical theories of neural coding, the population rate coding has been studied widely in many works. Most computational studies considered the neurons and the corresponding presynaptic synapses as pre-determined excitatory or inhibitory types. According to physiological evidence, however, that the real effect of a synapse is inhibitory or excitatory is determined by the type of the activated receptors. The co-release of excitatory and inhibitory receptors in the same synapse exists widely in the brain. In this paper, we study the population rate coding in recurrent neuronal networks with undetermined neurons and synapses, different from the traditional works, in which one neuron can perform either excitatory or inhibitory effect to the corresponding postsynaptic neurons. We find such neuronal networks can encode the stimuli information in population firing rate well. We find that intermediate recurrent probability together with moderate Inhibitory-Excitatory strength ratio can enhance the encoding performance. Suitable combinations of the previous two parameters with the noise intensity, the excitatory synaptic strength and the synaptic time constant have promoting effects on the performance of population rate coding. Finally, we compare the performance of population rate coding between the traditional (determined) model and ours, and we find that it is rational to consider the co-release of inhibitory and excitatory receptors.
