CASE-NET: Deep Spatio-Temporal Representation Learning via Causal Attention and Channel Recalibration for Multivariate Time Series Classification

Multivariate time series (MTS) classification is foundational to pervasive computing and financial analysis, yet existing multi-scale paradigms are often constrained by suboptimal representation fidelity. We identify two critical bottlenecks: temporal non-causality in standard encoders that induces temporal confounding in non-stationary dynamics, and the absence of explicit channel saliency mechanisms that allows noise to contaminate the latent space. To address these challenges, we propose the Causal Attention and Spatio-temporal Encoder Network (CASE-NET), an architecture designed for structural manifold pre-conditioning. CASE-NET synergizes a Causal Temporal Encoder, which enforces physical arrow-of-time constraints via masked self-attention and causal convolutions, with an Adaptive Channel Recalibration module functioning as an information bottleneck to suppress detrimental noise. Comprehensive evaluations across six heterogeneous domains demonstrate that CASE-NET establishes new state-of-the-art benchmarks on four tasks, achieving a peak accuracy of 98.6% on the AWR dataset and superior robustness in non-stationary regimes.

Some new estimates for generalized fractional integrals associated with operators on Morrey spaces

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup $\big\{e^{-t\mathcal L}:t>0\big\}$ on $L^2(\mathbb R^n)$ with Gaussian upper bounds, and suppose that $\mathcal{L}$ has a bounded holomorphic functional calculus on $L^2(\mathbb R^n)$. For given $0<α<n$, let $\mathcal L^{-α/2}$ be the generalized fractional integral associated with $\mathcal{L}$, which is given by \begin{equation*} \mathcal L^{-α/2}(f)(x):=\frac{1}{Γ(α/2)}\int_0^{+\infty}e^{-t\mathcal L}(f)(x)t^{α/2-1}dt, \end{equation*} where $Γ(\cdot)$ is the usual gamma function. In the limiting Sobolev case $λ=n-αp$ and $1\leq p<n/α$, the author proves that the operator $\mathcal{L}^{-α/2}$ is bounded from the Morrey space $M^{p,λ}(\mathbb R^n)$ into $\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal{L}}(\mathbb R^n)$, and is bounded from the vanishing Morrey space $VM^{p,λ}(\mathbb R^n)$ into $\mathrm{VMO}_{\mathcal{L}}(\mathbb R^n)$, where $\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal{L}}(\mathbb R^n)$ and $\mathrm{VMO}_{\mathcal{L}}(\mathbb R^n)$ are the spaces of bounded mean oscillation and vanishing mean oscillation associated with the operator $\mathcal{L}$, respectively. As a consequence, the author obtains that the operator $\mathcal{L}^{-α/2}$ is bounded from $L^{p,\infty}(\mathbb R^n)$ into $\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal{L}}(\mathbb R^n)$ when $p=n/α$ and $0<α<n$. The proofs are based on pointwise kernel estimates of the operators $\mathcal L^{-α/2}$ and $(I-e^{-t\mathcal L})\mathcal{L}^{-α/2}$ for $0<α<n$.

TIDAL: Recovering Temporal Phase for Cloud Block Storage Placement from LLM-Derived Semantics

Cloud Virtual Disk (CVD) placement in Cloud Block Storage (CBS) is critical for resource efficiency and performance isolation. Existing schemes prioritize spatial load balancing by dispersing disks across pods based on configuration-derived load estimates. However, overload risk in CBS is fundamentally temporal. Even when average load is balanced, pods can still suffer transient congestion when the peaks of co-located disks align in time. Achieving complementary placement, which co-locates CVDs with offset peaks, is hard at provisioning time because new disks have no history from which to infer temporal phase. We present TIDAL, a CVD placement framework that recovers phase-aware signals for cold-start placement from an underused source: tenant-provided names and identifiers in provisioning metadata. TIDAL first uses LLMs to recover application semantics from noisy metadata such as project, VM, and disk names. It then translates these semantics into phase-aware temporal signals to guide complementary placement. To satisfy control-plane constraints, TIDAL adopts an offline-to-online design with teacher-student distillation, regex-based filtering, and prefix-aware caching, enabling CPU-only inference with millisecond-level latency. Evaluations driven by production traces show that TIDAL reduces overload frequency by 79.1% and P95 overload duration by 73.7% compared with the strongest baselines.

Dissipation-Shaped Quantum Geometry in Nonlinear Transport

The theory of the intrinsic nonlinear Hall effect, a key probe of quantum geometry, is plagued by conflicting expressions for the conductivity that is independent of the dissipation strength (rate, $Γ^0$). We clarify the origin of this ambiguity by demonstrating that the "intrinsic" response is not universal, but is inextricably linked to the dissipation mechanism that establishes the non-equilibrium steady state (NESS). We establish a benchmark by solving the exact NESS density matrix for a generic Bloch system coupled to a featureless fermionic bath. Our exact $Γ^0$ conductivity decomposes into two parts: (i) a geometric contribution, $σ^{\text{geo}}$, whose form recovers the intraband quantum metric contribution ($\sim\partial_k g$), providing an exact derivation that clarifies inconsistencies in the literature, and (ii) a novel, purely kinetic contribution, $σ^{\text{kin}} \propto v^3 f^{(4)}_0$, which is absent when dissipation is modeled by white-noise disorder (e.g., a constant-$Γ$ Green's function model). The discrepancy in $σ^{\text{kin}}$ between these distinct physical mechanisms is a proof that the $Γ^0$ nonlinear conductivity is not a unique property of the Bloch Hamiltonian, but is contingent on the physical system-bath coupling.

PESD-TSF: A Period-Aware and Explicit Structured Decomposition Framework for Long-Term Time Series Forecasting

Deep forecasting models often suffer from attenuated periodic perception and entangled trend-noise representations as network depth increases. Moreover, the widely adopted channel-independent paradigm, while improving training stability, disrupts intrinsic dynamic coordination among variables, hindering the modeling of cross-variable consistency in multivariate time series. To address these issues, we propose PESD-TSF, a physics-inspired structured decomposition framework for long-term time series forecasting that jointly emphasizes interpretability and predictive accuracy. PESD-TSF introduces three key designs. First, a Multiplicative Periodic Gating mechanism incorporates continuous-time priors to dynamically modulate signal amplitudes, preserving periodic structures across deep layers. Second, a multi-scale structured encoder integrates detrended attention with hierarchical sampling to explicitly decouple long-term trends from high-frequency variations while retaining fine-grained temporal semantics. Third, to recover disrupted inter-variable dependencies, we propose Cross-Scale Collaborative Attention (CSCA) together with an RLC regularization scheme, which reconstructs global inter-variable topology in deep feature spaces and enforces physically consistent collaboration through orthogonality and consistency constraints. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets from multiple domains demonstrate that PESD-TSF consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance, with particularly strong gains on multivariate forecasting tasks involving complex inter-variable coupling, highlighting its superior structural modeling capability and generalization.

MHMamba: Multi-Head Mamba for 3D Brain Tumor Segmentation

Brain tumors exhibit high heterogeneity in morphology and multimodal contrast, making manual slice-by-slice de lineation time-consuming and experience-dependent, thus necessitating efficient and stable automated segmentation methods. To address the limitations of CNNs in modeling long-range dependencies, and the heavy computational and memory overhead and inter-block contextual in coherence of Transformers in 3D MRI, this paper proposes Multi-Head Mamba (MHMamba). This method combines a U-shaped architecture with a multi-head state-space model (Mamba), splitting the channel dimension into parallel SSM heads and aggregating them with residuals. This enhances long-range representation and improves the stability of multimodal training while maintaining linear complexity. To further align statistics and enhance lesion response, we designed a channel-space calibration module for multi-head outputs and introduced an adaptive fusion mechanism at skip connections to dynamically connect global semantics with local details, thereby improving boundary consistency and the detection of small-volume lesions. We conducted experiments and ablations on BraTS2021 and BraTS2023. The results showed that MHMamba achieved stable and significant improvements in overall accuracy, boundary smoothness, and sensitivity to tumor core and small-volume enhancement areas, while preserving the linear-complexity advantage of Mamba-based modeling, thus verifying the effectiveness and versatility of the method.

SAMOFT: Robust Multi-Object Tracking via Region and Flow

Multi-object tracking (MOT) is a fundamental task in computer vision that requires continuously tracking multiple targets while maintaining consistent identities across frames. However, most existing approaches primarily rely on instance-level object features for trajectory association, which often leads to degraded performance under challenging conditions such as object deformation, nonlinear motion, and occlusion. In this work, we propose SAMOFT, a robust tracker that leverages pixel-level cues to improve robustness under complex motion scenarios. Specifically, we introduce a Pixel Motion Matching (PMM) module that integrates the Segment Anything Model (SAM) with dense optical flow to refine Kalman filter-based motion prediction using instantaneous foreground pixel motion. To further enhance robustness under unreliable detections, we design a Centroid Distance Matching (CDM) module that performs flexible mask-based centroid matching for low-confidence or partially occluded observations. Moreover, a Distribution-Based Correction (DBC) module models long-tailed motion patterns in a training-free manner using historical optical flow statistics and dynamically corrects trajectory states online. We also incorporate a Cluster-Aware ReID (CA-ReID) strategy to improve the stability and discriminative power of trajectory appearance features. Extensive experiments on the DanceTrack and MOTChallenge benchmarks demonstrate that SAMOFT consistently improves baseline trackers and achieves competitive performance compared with recent state-of-the-art methods, validating the effectiveness of leveraging pixel-level cues for robust multi-object tracking.

What Will Happen Next: Large Models-Driven Deduction for Emergency Instances

Traditional simulation methods reproduce occurred emergency instances through presetting to assist people in risk assessment and emergency decision-making. However, due to the lack of randomness and diversity, existing simulation systems struggle to fully explore the potential risk as emergency instances are scarce. In contrast, Large Models (LMs) can dynamically adjust generation strategies to introduce controllable randomness, while also possessing extensive prior knowledge and cross-domain knowledge transfer capabilities. Inspired by it, we propose the LMs-driven World Line Divergence System (WLDS), which enables diversified visualization and deduction of emergency instances in different domains. WLDS leverages LMs to deduce emergency instances in various development directions, and introduces the factual calibration and logical calibration mechanism to ensure factual accuracy and logical rigor during the deduction process. The interactive module can independently select deduction directions to avoid potential hallucinations that are difficult for the system to identify. Furthermore, by introducing the visualization module, WLDS forms simulation and deduction that combine text and images, which enhances interpretability. Extensive experiments conducted on the proposed Emergency Instances Deduction (EID) benchmark dataset demonstrate that WLDS achieves high-precision and high-fidelity simulation and deduction of emergency instances in multiple specific domains. Relevant experiments further demonstrate that WLDS can generate more emergency instances deduction data for users and provide support for better decision-making in similar emergency instances in the future.

ReorgGS: Equivalent Distribution Reorganization for 3D Gaussian Splatting

A converged 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) model may approximate the target scene while remaining poorly parameterized for further optimization. We identify this failure mode as \emph{parameterization degeneration}: high-opacity floaters attenuate gradients to true surfaces through alpha compositing, and redundant overlapping clusters create strongly coupled parameter blocks with nearly collinear Jacobian responses. These effects explain why continued optimization can plateau even when the model still contains removable artifacts. We propose ReorgGS, an equivalent distribution reorganization method for converged 3DGS models. ReorgGS treats the existing Gaussian set as an empirical probability field, resamples centers from it, estimates local anisotropic covariances with kNN, initializes low opacity, and continues optimization with the original 3DGS renderer and loss. Unlike opacity reset, which only rescales opacity on the old overlap graph, ReorgGS rebuilds centers, covariances, and visibility structure, thereby changing the graph itself. Our analysis shows that distributional equivalence is not optimization equivalence. The reorganized model preserves scene support while improving gradient accessibility under alpha compositing and reducing opacity-weighted overlap, thereby weakening local parameter coupling during subsequent optimization. Under the same additional optimization budget, ReorgGS improves fitting quality at a fixed Gaussian count, suppresses persistent floaters, and reduces rendering overhead from redundant overlap.

What If We Let Forecasting Forget? A Sparse Bottleneck for Cross-Variable Dependencies

Multivariate time series forecasting is critical in many real-world systems, and thus modeling cross-channel dependencies is essential. Although existing methods improve overall accuracy by enhancing representations and cross-channel interactions, it remains challenging to reliably capture inter-variable dependencies under specific conditions. We observe that dependencies in real data are often state-dependent and noisy; in such cases, dense interactions can amplify spurious correlations and lead to representation over-smoothing, which may yield unreliable predictions in certain scenarios. Motivated by this, we propose MS-FLOW, a sparse-bottleneck framework that explicitly models inter-variable interaction as capacity-limited information flow. Specifically, MS-FLOW replaces fully connected communication with selective sparse routing, retaining only a few critical dependency paths and injecting cross-variable signals under a strict communication budget, thereby suppressing redundant connections and spurious-correlation propagation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MS-FLOW learns more reliable multivariate correlations, achieving state-of-the-art forecasting accuracy on 12 real-world benchmarks while producing fewer yet more reliable dependencies, shifting multivariate forecasting from "more interaction" to "more effective interaction".

TimeSAF: Towards LLM-Guided Semantic Asynchronous Fusion for Time Series Forecasting

Despite the recent success of large language models (LLMs) in time-series forecasting, most existing methods still adopt a Deep Synchronous Fusion strategy, where dense interactions between textual and temporal features are enforced at every layer of the network. This design overlooks the inherent granularity mismatch between modalities and leads to what we term semantic perceptual dissonance: high-level abstract semantics provided by the LLM become inappropriately entangled with the low-level, fine-grained numerical dynamics of time series, making it difficult for semantic priors to effectively guide forecasting. To address this issue, we propose TimeSAF, a new framework based on hierarchical asynchronous fusion. Unlike synchronous approaches, TimeSAF explicitly decouples unimodal feature learning from cross-modal interaction. It introduces an independent cross-modal semantic fusion trunk, which uses learnable queries to aggregate global semantics from the temporal and prompt backbones in a bottom-up manner, and a stage-wise semantic refinement decoder that asynchronously injects these high-level signals back into the temporal backbone. This mechanism provides stable and efficient semantic guidance while avoiding interference with low-level temporal dynamics. Extensive experiments on standard long-term forecasting benchmarks show that TimeSAF significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, and further exhibits strong generalization in both few-shot and zero-shot transfer settings.

Edgeworth Accountant: An Analytical Approach to Differential Privacy Composition

In privacy-preserving data analysis, many procedures and algorithms are structured as compositions of multiple private building blocks. As such, an important question is how to efficiently compute the overall privacy loss under composition. This paper introduces the Edgeworth Accountant, an analytical approach to composing differential privacy guarantees for private algorithms. Leveraging the $f$-differential privacy framework, the Edgeworth Accountant accurately tracks privacy loss under composition, enabling a closed-form expression of privacy guarantees through privacy-loss log-likelihood ratios (PLLRs). As implied by its name, this method applies the Edgeworth expansion to estimate and define the probability distribution of the sum of the PLLRs. Furthermore, by using a technique that simplifies complex distributions into simpler ones, we demonstrate the Edgeworth Accountant's applicability to any noise-addition mechanism. Its main advantage is providing $(ε, δ)$-differential privacy bounds that are non-asymptotic and do not significantly increase computational cost. This feature sets it apart from previous approaches, in which the running time increases with the number of mechanisms under composition. We conclude by showing how our Edgeworth Accountant offers accurate estimates and tight upper and lower bounds on $(ε, δ)$-differential privacy guarantees, especially tailored for training private models in deep learning and federated analytics.

Characterization of Trees with Maximum Security

The rank (also known as protection number or leaf-height) of a vertex in a rooted tree is the minimum distance between the vertex and any of its leaf descendants. We consider the sum of ranks over all vertices (known as the security) in binary trees, and produce a classification of families of binary trees for which the security is maximized. In addition, extremal results relating to maximum rank among all vertices in families of trees is discussed.

CoAuthorAI: A Human in the Loop System For Scientific Book Writing

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in scientific writing but struggle with book-length tasks, often producing inconsistent structure and unreliable citations. We introduce CoAuthorAI, a human-in-the-loop writing system that combines retrieval-augmented generation, expert-designed hierarchical outlines, and automatic reference linking. The system allows experts to iteratively refine text at the sentence level, ensuring coherence and accuracy. In evaluations of 500 multi-domain literature review chapters, CoAuthorAI achieved a maximum soft-heading recall of 98%; in a human evaluation of 100 articles, the generated content reached a satisfaction rate of 82%. The book AI for Rock Dynamics generated with CoAuthorAI and Kexin Technology's LUFFA AI model has been published with Springer Nature. These results show that systematic human-AI collaboration can extend LLMs' capabilities from articles to full-length books, enabling faster and more reliable scientific publishing.

UniSem: Generalizable Semantic 3D Reconstruction from Sparse Unposed Images

Semantic-aware 3D reconstruction from sparse, unposed images remains challenging for feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Existing methods often predict an over-complete set of Gaussian primitives under sparse-view supervision, leading to unstable geometry and inferior depth quality. Meanwhile, they rely solely on 2D segmenter features for semantic lifting, which provides weak 3D-level and limited generalizable supervision, resulting in incomplete 3D semantics in novel scenes. To address these issues, we propose UniSem, a unified framework that jointly improves depth accuracy and semantic generalization via two key components. First, Error-aware Gaussian Dropout (EGD) performs error-guided capacity control by suppressing redundancy-prone Gaussians using rendering error cues, producing meaningful, geometrically stable Gaussian representations for improved depth estimation. Second, we introduce a Mix-training Curriculum (MTC) that progressively blends 2D segmenter-lifted semantics with the model's own emergent 3D semantic priors, implemented with object-level prototype alignment to enhance semantic coherence and completeness. Extensive experiments on ScanNet and Replica show that UniSem achieves superior performance in depth prediction and open-vocabulary 3D segmentation across varying numbers of input views. Notably, with 16-view inputs, UniSem reduces depth Rel by 15.2% and improves open-vocabulary segmentation mAcc by 3.7% over strong baselines.

Convergence analysis of dynamically regularized Lagrange multiplier pressure correction method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

We propose first-order pressure-correction scheme for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, incorporating the recently developed the Dynamically Regularized Lagrange Multiplier (DRLM) methods. The resulting algorithms are fully decoupled and require solving only Poisson-type equations at each time step. Moreover, it exhibits unconditional energy stability. This paper provides a rigorous error analysis for the first-order scheme, establishing optimal error estimates for both velocity and pressure. Specifically, we employ mathematical induction to derive sharp velocity error bounds, while leveraging the inf-sup condition to prove optimal convergence rate for the pressure. To validate our theoretical findings, we present two numerical experiments demonstrating the accuracy and robustness of the method.

Reallocating Attention Across Layers to Reduce Multimodal Hallucination

Multimodal large reasoning models (MLRMs) often suffer from hallucinations that stem not only from insufficient visual grounding but also from imbalanced allocation between perception and reasoning processes. Building upon recent interpretability findings suggesting a staged division of attention across layers, we analyze how this functional misalignment leads to two complementary failure modes: perceptual bias in shallow layers and reasoning drift in deeper layers. To alleviate these issues, we propose Functional Head Identification and Class-Conditioned Rescaling , a lightweight, training-free plugin that identifies perception- and reasoning-oriented heads and adaptively rebalances their layerwise contributions. Our method improves reasoning consistency and visual faithfulness without retraining or any architectural modification. Evaluations across three representative MLRMs and five multimodal reasoning benchmarks show an average 4.2% point gain, with less than 1% additional computation and only 9% baseline latency. Beyond empirical improvements, our study provides an interpretable perspective on regulating cross-layer functional dynamics to enhance the reliability of multimodal reasoning.

EEO-TFV: Escape-Explore Optimizer for Web-Scale Time-Series Forecasting and Vision Analysis

Transformer-based foundation models have achieved remarkable progress in tasks such as time-series forecasting and image segmentation. However, they frequently suffer from error accumulation in multivariate long-sequence prediction and exhibit vulnerability to out-of-distribution samples in image-related tasks. Furthermore, these challenges become particularly pronounced in large-scale Web data analysis tasks, which typically involve complex temporal patterns and multimodal features. This complexity substantially increases optimization difficulty, rendering models prone to stagnation at saddle points within high-dimensional parameter spaces. To address these issues, we propose a lightweight Transformer architecture in conjunction with a novel Escape-Explore Optimizer (EEO). The optimizer enhances both exploration and generalization while effectively avoiding sharp minima and saddle-point traps. Experimental results show that, in representative Web data scenarios, our method achieves performance on par with state-of-the-art models across 11 time-series benchmark datasets and the Synapse medical image segmentation task. Moreover, it demonstrates superior generalization and stability, thereby validating its potential as a versatile cross-task foundation model for Web-scale data mining and analysis.
