Fusion Estimation in Multi-sensor Systems for Data Packets with Disrupted Identities

In this paper, we explore the problem of fusion estimation for a multi-sensor system where the identity of the data packet received by each sensor may be disrupted or incorrect due to confusion in device identity allocation, communication protocol defects, or the lack of a clear sensor identifier. This can result in a random shuffle of the data components during the fusion estimation process, compromising the performance of the fusion estimation. To address this issue, we introduce the concepts of permutations and symmetry groups to describe this phenomenon as data packet permutation. We construct statistics to simplify the information set, developing two algorithms: a Bayesian approach, which performs fusion using posterior arrangement probabilities, and a greedy approach, which effectively improves estimation performance by guessing the likely data arrangement. We compare these two algorithms and demonstrate that both are expectation error-bounded. We improve algorithms for information-scarce scenarios. By employing the expectation-maximization algorithm, we fill in the prior information of data arrangement where the correct convergence is proven. Finally, we present numerical simulations to validate our results.

Xray-Visual Models: Scaling Vision models on Industry Scale Data

We present Xray-Visual, a unified vision model architecture for large-scale image and video understanding trained on industry-scale social media data. Our model leverages over 15 billion curated image-text pairs and 10 billion video-hashtag pairs from Facebook and Instagram, employing robust data curation pipelines that incorporate balancing and noise suppression strategies to maximize semantic diversity while minimizing label noise. We introduce a three-stage training pipeline that combines self-supervised MAE, semi-supervised hashtag classification, and CLIP-style contrastive learning to jointly optimize image and video modalities. Our architecture builds on a Vision Transformer backbone enhanced with efficient token reorganization (EViT) for improved computational efficiency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Xray-Visual achieves state-of-the-art performance across diverse benchmarks, including ImageNet for image classification, Kinetics and HMDB51 for video understanding, and MSCOCO for cross-modal retrieval. The model exhibits strong robustness to domain shift and adversarial perturbations. We further demonstrate that integrating large language models as text encoders (LLM2CLIP) significantly enhances retrieval performance and generalization capabilities, particularly in real-world environments. Xray-Visual establishes new benchmarks for scalable, multimodal vision models, while maintaining superior accuracy and computational efficiency.

DRFusion: Drift-Resilient Temporally Consistent Infrared-Visible Video Fusion

Infrared and visible video fusion is essential for achieving comprehensive perception in dynamic scenes. However, maintaining temporal consistency remains a formidable challenge. Conventional methods relying on optical flow often suffer from geometric rigidity and ghosting artifacts. Moreover, standard diffusion-based fusion models typically operate in a frame-by-frame manner; when extended to autoregressive settings, they lack intrinsic temporal constraints and are prone to severe error accumulation and drifting, where minor artifacts amplify over time. To address these limitations, we propose a drift-resilient video fusion method that reformulates the task as history-conditioned motion generation. We introduce Stabilized History Guidance and Soft Temporal Anchoring to reframe temporal consistency as spectral filtering, implicitly aggregating motion dynamics without rigid alignment. Furthermore, our Decoupled Structure-Motion Adaptation strategy bridges pre-trained priors and structural constraints via two-stage training and latent refinement. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in both fusion quality and temporal stability.

Uncertainty-aware Spatial-Frequency Registration and Fusion for Infrared and Visible Images

Infrared and Visible Image Fusion (IVIF) has shown promise in visual tasks under challenging environments, but fusion under unregistered conditions faces inherent misalignments. Current studies to solve them either predict the deformation parameters coarse-to-fine (i.e., coarse registration and fine registration) or estimate the deformation fields in multi-scales for registration. Though straightforward, they overlook the cumulative errors in registration, which contaminate the fusion stage and severely deteriorate the resulting images. We introduce the Spatial-Frequency Registration and Fusion (SFRF) framework, which incorporates uncertainty estimation and infrared thermal radiation distribution consistency into a unified pipeline to handle the error accumulation for robust registration and fusion across both spatial and frequency domains. Specifically, SFRF constructs a Multi-scale Iterative Registration (MIR) framework that iteratively refines the deformation field across scales, leveraging uncertainty estimation at each stage to mitigate error accumulation and enhance alignment accuracy dynamically. To ensure the accurate alignment of infrared thermal distributions during registration, thermal radiation distribution consistency is employed as a frequency-domain supervisory signal, promoting global consistency in the frequency domain. Based on the spatial-frequency alignment, SFRF further adopts a Dual-branch Spatial-Frequency Fusion (DSFF) module, which incorporates spatial geometric features and frequency distribution information to reconstruct visually appealing images. SFRF achieves impressive performance across diverse datasets.

Bootstrap Inference in Nonlinear Panel Data Models with Interactive Fixed Effects

The maximum likelihood estimator in nonlinear panel data models with interactive fixed effects is biased. Several bias correction methods, such as analytical and jackknife approaches, have been proposed to enable valid inference. This paper shows that the parametric bootstrap also enables valid inference in such models. In particular, we show that the parametric bootstrap replicates the asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator. Therefore, it yields asymptotically unbiased estimates and confidence sets with asymptotically correct coverage. We also propose a transformation-based bootstrap confidence interval that delivers improved finite-sample performance. Simulation results support the theoretical findings. Finally, we apply the proposed method to examine technological and product market spillover effects on firms' innovation behavior.

The Evolution of Tool Use in LLM Agents: From Single-Tool Call to Multi-Tool Orchestration

Tool use enables large language models (LLMs) to access external information, invoke software systems, and act in digital environments beyond what can be solved from model parameters alone. Early research mainly studied whether a model could select and execute a correct single tool call. As agent systems evolve, however, the central problem has shifted from isolated invocation to multi-tool orchestration over long trajectories with intermediate state, execution feedback, changing environments, and practical constraints such as safety, cost, and verifiability. We comprehensively review recent progress in multi-tool LLM agents and analyzes the state of the art in this rapidly developing area. First, we unify task formulations and distinguish single-call tool use from long-horizon orchestration. Then, we organize the literature around six core dimensions: inference-time planning and execution, training and trajectory construction, safety and control, efficiency under resource constraints, capability completeness in open environments, and benchmark design and evaluation. We further summarize representative applications in software engineering, enterprise workflows, graphical user interfaces, and mobile systems. Finally, we discuss major challenges and outline future directions for building reliable, scalable, and verifiable multi-tool agents.

MonitorVLM:A Vision Language Framework for Safety Violation Detection in Mining Operations

Industrial accidents, particularly in high-risk domains such as surface and underground mining, are frequently caused by unsafe worker behaviors. Traditional manual inspection remains labor-intensive, error-prone, and insufficient for large-scale, dynamic environments, highlighting the urgent need for intelligent and automated safety monitoring. In this paper, we present MonitorVLM, a novel vision--language framework designed to detect safety violations directly from surveillance video streams. MonitorVLM introduces three key innovations: (1) a domain-specific violation dataset comprising 9,000 vision--question--answer (VQA) samples across 40 high-frequency mining regulations, enriched with augmentation and auxiliary detection cues; (2) a clause filter (CF) module that dynamically selects the Top-$K$ most relevant clauses, reducing inference latency by 13.56\% while maintaining accuracy; and (3) a behavior magnifier (BM) module that enhances worker regions to improve fine-grained action recognition, yielding additional gains of 3.45% in precision and 8.62% in recall. Experimental results demonstrate that MonitorVLM significantly outperforms baseline vision--language models, achieving improvements of 22.01% in precision, 34.22\% in recall, and 28.37% in F1 score over the 72B unfine-tuned baseline. A lightweight web-based interface further integrates MonitorVLM into practical workflows, enabling automatic violation reporting with video timestamping. This study highlights the potential of multimodal large models to enhance occupational safety monitoring in mining and beyond.

Bridging Human Evaluation to Infrared and Visible Image Fusion

Infrared and visible image fusion (IVIF) integrates complementary modalities to enhance scene perception. Current methods predominantly focus on optimizing handcrafted losses and objective metrics, often resulting in fusion outcomes that do not align with human visual preferences. This challenge is further exacerbated by the ill-posed nature of IVIF, which severely limits its effectiveness in human perceptual environments such as security surveillance and driver assistance systems. To address these limitations, we propose a feedback reinforcement framework that bridges human evaluation to infrared and visible image fusion. To address the lack of human-centric evaluation metrics and data, we introduce the first large-scale human feedback dataset for IVIF, containing multidimensional subjective scores and artifact annotations, and enriched by a fine-tuned large language model with expert review. Based on this dataset, we design a domain-specific reward function and train a reward model to quantify perceptual quality. Guided by this reward, we fine-tune the fusion network through Group Relative Policy Optimization, achieving state-of-the-art performance that better aligns fused images with human aesthetics.

Strichartz estimates for orthonormal functions and probabilistic convergence of density functions of compact operators on manifolds

In this paper, we establish some Strichartz estimates for orthonormal functions and probabilistic convergence of density functions related to compact operators on manifolds. Firstly, we present the suitable bound of $\int_{a\leq|s|\leq b}e^{isx}s^{-1+iγ}ds$ for the cases $γ\in \mathbb{R},a\geq0,b>0,$ $γ\in \mathbb{R},γ\neq0,a,b\in \mathbb{R}$ and $γ\in \mathbb{R}$, which extends the result of Page 204 of Vega (199-211,IMA Vol. Math. Appl., 42, 1992.) Secondly, we prove that $\left|γ\int_{a}^{b}e^{isx}s^{-1+iγ}ds\right|\leq C(1+|γ|)^{2}(γ\in \mathbb{R},a,b\in \mathbb{R}),$ where $C$ is independent of $γ,a, b$, which extends Lemma 1 of Bez et al. (Forum of Mathematics, Sigma, 9(2021), 1-52). Thirdly, we extend the result of Theorems 8, 9 of R. Frank, J. Sabin (Amer. J. Math. 139(2017), 1649-1691.) with the aid of the suitable bound of the above complex integrals established in this paper. Fourthly, we establish the Strichartz estimates for orthonormal functions related to Boussinesq operator on the real line for both small time interval and large time interval and on the torus with small time interval; we also establish the convergence result of some compact operators in Schatten norm. Fifthly, we establish the convergence result related to nonlinear part of the solution to some operator equations in Schatten spaces. Finally, inspired by the work of Hadama and Yamamoto (Probabilistic Strichartz estimates in Schatten classes and their applications to Hartree equation, arxiv:2311.02713v1.), for $γ_{0}\in \mathfrak{S}^{2}$, we establish the probabilistic convergence of density functions of compact operator on manifolds with full randomization, which improves the result of Corollary 1.2 of Bez et al. (Selecta Math. 26(2020), 24 pp) in the probabilistic sense.

Integrated Drill Boom Hole-Seeking Control via Reinforcement Learning

Intelligent drill boom hole-seeking is a promising technology for enhancing drilling efficiency, mitigating potential safety hazards, and relieving human operators. Most existing intelligent drill boom control methods rely on a hierarchical control framework based on inverse kinematics. However, these methods are generally time-consuming due to the computational complexity of inverse kinematics and the inefficiency of the sequential execution of multiple joints. To tackle these challenges, this study proposes an integrated drill boom control method based on Reinforcement Learning (RL). We develop an integrated drill boom control framework that utilizes a parameterized policy to directly generate control inputs for all joints at each time step, taking advantage of joint posture and target hole information. By formulating the hole-seeking task as a Markov decision process, contemporary mainstream RL algorithms can be directly employed to learn a hole-seeking policy, thus eliminating the need for inverse kinematics solutions and promoting cooperative multi-joint control. To enhance the drilling accuracy throughout the entire drilling process, we devise a state representation that combines Denavit-Hartenberg joint information and preview hole-seeking discrepancy data. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms traditional methods in terms of hole-seeking accuracy and time efficiency.

Multi-bump solutions of $-Δu=K(x)u^{\frac{n+2}{n-2}}$ on lattices in $R^n$

We consider critical exponent semi-linear elliptic equation with coefficient K(x) periodic in its first k variables, with 2k smaller than n-2. Under some natural conditions on K near a critical point, we prove the existence of multi-bump solutions where the centers of bumps can be placed in some lattices in Rk, including infinite lattices. We also show that for 2k greater than or equal to n-2, no such solutions exist.
