APPSim-Bench: Bridging Real-world Apps and Reproducible Evaluation for Mobile GUI Agents

Mobile GUI agents can execute tasks from natural-language instructions, but their evaluation remains difficult to make both realistic and reproducible. Existing benchmarks typically trade off these goals: simplified apps lack real-world mobile complexity, whereas live commercial apps introduce uncontrolled variation from recommendations, advertisements, accounts, and changing content. We propose AppSim-Bench, which addresses this trade-off through controllable simulated apps that preserve task-relevant interaction logic while supporting deterministic evaluation. Built through a coding-agent-assisted and human-verified workflow, it contains 557 tasks across 17 high-frequency Chinese and English apps. Its controllable backend data and outcome-based verification remove major sources of environmental stochasticity, enabling reproducible cross-model comparison. Evaluating 19 GUI agents, spanning general-purpose and GUI-specialized systems, we find that autonomous mobile execution remains far from solved. The best model completes only 50.27% of tasks, and 28.55% of tasks are not solved by any agent. Further analysis shows that failures concentrate in longer workflows, numerical reasoning tasks, and inefficient trajectories marked by high action overhead and budget exhaustion.

InstanceSplat: Instance-Aware Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting for Scene Understanding

Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables efficient and generalizable 3D reconstruction, but current feed-forward 3DGS methods for scene understanding remain largely category-oriented. In contrast, instance-aware 3DGS methods typically rely on per-scene optimization and often decouple reconstruction from instance and semantic learning, limiting reciprocal interactions among them. We present InstanceSplat, a unified feed-forward 3DGS framework for generalizable 3D reconstruction and instance-aware scene understanding from pose-free multi-view images. In a single forward pass, InstanceSplat constructs an instance-aware Gaussian representation that jointly encodes appearance, geometry, instance identity, and language-aligned semantics. Shared 3D Gaussians ground instance identities across views, producing renderable and cross-view-consistent instance features. To allow reconstruction and scene understanding to benefit from each other, we further design an instance-centric learning strategy that connects reconstruction, instance learning, and semantic learning through shared instance structure. Specifically, instance cues guide reconstruction, language-aligned semantics strengthen the discrimination of confusing same-category instances, and instance regions aggregate semantic evidence into coherent object-level predictions. Experiments on novel-view synthesis, instance segmentation, and open-vocabulary semantic understanding under varying input-view settings and on an unseen dataset demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, practical efficiency, and strong generalization.

Learning Deformable Body Interactions With Adaptive Spatial Tokenization

Simulating interactions between deformable bodies is vital in fields like material science, mechanical design, and robotics. While learning-based methods with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are effective at solving complex physical systems, they encounter scalability issues when modeling deformable body interactions. To model interactions between objects, pairwise global edges have to be created dynamically, which is computationally intensive and impractical for large-scale meshes. To overcome these challenges, drawing on insights from geometric representations, we propose an Adaptive Spatial Tokenization (AST) method for efficient representation of physical states. By dividing the simulation space into a grid of cells and mapping unstructured meshes onto this structured grid, our approach naturally groups adjacent mesh nodes. We then apply a cross-attention module to map the sparse cells into a compact, fixed-length embedding, serving as tokens for the entire physical state. Self-attention modules are employed to predict the next state over these tokens in latent space. This framework leverages the efficiency of tokenization and the expressive power of attention mechanisms to achieve accurate and scalable simulation results. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in modeling deformable body interactions. Notably, it remains effective on large-scale simulations with meshes exceeding 100,000 nodes, where existing methods are hindered by computational limitations. Additionally, we contribute a novel large-scale dataset encompassing a wide range of deformable body interactions to support future research in this area.

Electromagnetic Inverse Scattering from a Single Transmitter

Electromagnetic Inverse Scattering Problems (EISP) seek to reconstruct relative permittivity from scattered fields and are fundamental to applications like medical imaging. This inverse process is inherently ill-posed and highly nonlinear, making it particularly challenging, especially under sparse transmitter setups, e.g., with only one transmitter. While recent machine learning-based approaches have shown promising results, they often rely on time-consuming, case-specific optimization and perform poorly under sparse transmitter setups. To address these limitations, we revisit EISP from a data-driven perspective. The scarcity of transmitters leads to an insufficient amount of measured data, which fails to capture adequate physical information for stable inversion. Accordingly, we propose a fully end-to-end and data-driven framework that predicts the relative permittivity of scatterers from measured fields, leveraging data distribution priors to compensate for the incomplete information from sparse measurements. This design enables data-driven training and feed-forward prediction of relative permittivity while maintaining strong robustness to transmitter sparsity. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in reconstruction accuracy and robustness. Notably, we demonstrate, for the first time, high-quality reconstruction from a single transmitter. This work advances practical electromagnetic imaging by providing a new, cost-effective paradigm to inverse scattering. Code and models are released at https://gomenei.github.io/SingleTX-EISP/.

The Less You Depend, The More You Learn: Synthesizing Novel Views from Sparse, Unposed Images with Minimal 3D Knowledge

Recent advances in feed-forward Novel View Synthesis (NVS) have led to a divergence between two design philosophies: bias-driven methods, which rely on explicit 3D knowledge, such as handcrafted 3D representations (e.g., NeRF and 3DGS) and camera poses annotated by Structure-from-Motion algorithms, and data-centric methods, which learn to understand 3D structure implicitly from large-scale imagery data. This raises a fundamental question: which paradigm is more scalable in an era of ever-increasing data availability? In this work, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of existing methods and uncover a critical trend that the performance of methods requiring less 3D knowledge accelerates more as training data increases, eventually outperforming their 3D knowledge-driven counterparts, which we term "the less you depend, the more you learn." Guided by this finding, we design a feed-forward NVS framework that removes both explicit scene structure and pose annotation reliance. By eliminating these dependencies, our method leverages great scalability, learning implicit 3D awareness directly from vast quantities of 2D images, without any pose information for training or inference. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our model achieves state-of-the-art NVS performance, even outperforming methods relying on posed training data. The results validate not only the effectiveness of our data-centric paradigm but also the power of our scalability finding as a guiding principle.

Aligning Human Motion Generation with Human Perceptions

Human motion generation is a critical task with a wide range of applications. Achieving high realism in generated motions requires naturalness, smoothness, and plausibility. Despite rapid advancements in the field, current generation methods often fall short of these goals. Furthermore, existing evaluation metrics typically rely on ground-truth-based errors, simple heuristics, or distribution distances, which do not align well with human perceptions of motion quality. In this work, we propose a data-driven approach to bridge this gap by introducing a large-scale human perceptual evaluation dataset, MotionPercept, and a human motion critic model, MotionCritic, that capture human perceptual preferences. Our critic model offers a more accurate metric for assessing motion quality and could be readily integrated into the motion generation pipeline to enhance generation quality. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in both evaluating and improving the quality of generated human motions by aligning with human perceptions. Code and data are publicly available at https://motioncritic.github.io/.
