Open-AoE: An Open Egocentric Manipulation Dataset and Toolchain for Embodied Learning

Egocentric videos of human manipulation provide scalable supervision for embodied intelligence, yet existing resources rarely combine low-cost continuous capture, manipulation-level structured annotations, and reusable tools for robot learning. We present Open-AoE, an open, community-oriented egocentric manipulation dataset and toolchain spanning the full pipeline from smartphone capture to model training. Its first release contains approximately 2,000 hours of manipulation video collected in natural environments by 500+ contributors using 400+ smartphones. The dataset provides text annotations, MANO-based hand poses, camera trajectories, and temporally localized atomic actions. Open-AoE further includes a data processing pipeline that transforms raw recordings into structured samples through temporal action segmentation, semantic annotation, hand reconstruction, and camera trajectory reconstruction. Meanwhile, we provide a separate downstream toolchain supports visualization, cross-embodiment retargeting, model-specific data conversion, and training recipes for VLA policies, WAMs, and World Models. By integrating scalable capture, structured processing, and downstream adaptation, Open-AoE reduces the barriers to both data contribution and reuse, providing practical open infrastructure for embodied model training, human-to-robot transfer, and world modeling.

Soft Graph Diffusion Transformer for MIMO Detection

Learning-based MIMO detection has shown strong empirical performance, yet existing methods typically rely on fixed-depth architectures without explicitly modeling the progressive refinement of symbol estimates. In this paper, we revisit MIMO detection from a flow matching perspective and propose the Soft Graph Diffusion Transformer (SGDiT), which reformulates detection as a noise-level-conditioned denoising process that progressively transforms a Gaussian initialization toward the posterior conditioned on channel observations. An adaptive layer normalization (AdaLN)-conditioned soft graph transformer is employed to parameterize the denoising dynamics, enabling stage-aware information integration between observation and symbol domains. To better align with the discrete nature of symbol detection, we further adopt a cross-entropy-based training objective that directly models bit-wise posterior probabilities, providing a more suitable inductive bias than conventional regression-based formulations. Experimental results across various MIMO system configurations demonstrate that SGDiT achieves competitive bit error rate (BER) performance compared with representative baselines. Furthermore, the proposed model exhibits good generalization capability across different channel conditions. Overall, the SGDiT framework provides an effective and practical approach for neural MIMO detection.

Diffusion-OAMP for Joint Image Compression and Wireless Transmission

Joint image compression and wireless transmission remain relatively underexplored compared to generic image restoration, despite its importance in practical communication systems. We formulate this problem under an equivalent linear model, and propose Diffusion-OAMP, a training-free reconstruction framework that embeds a pre-trained diffusion model into the OAMP algorithm. In Diffusion-OAMP, the OAMP linear estimator produces pseudo-AWGN observations, while the diffusion model serves as a nonlinear estimator under an SNR-matching rule. This framework offers a way to incorporate multiple generative priors into OAMP. Experiments with varying compression ratios and noise levels show that Diffusion-OAMP performs favorably against classic methods in the evaluated settings.

Prediction--Loss Alignment for Sampler--Robust Flow Matching Training

Recent work has popularized a practical recipe in diffusion and flow matching: predict the clean signal $x$, convert it to a velocity, and train through a velocity-space loss. The conversion contains a singular endpoint amplification and therefore appears prone to unstable optimization, yet recent systems obtain strong empirical results with this recipe. We investigate this tension through the integrability of the pre-optimizer stochastic-gradient second moment. Under stated initialization conditions, the moment diverges under Uniform sampling; boundary-suppressing sampling can restore integrability under an additional upper-growth condition. We then show that prediction--loss alignment eliminates this conversion-induced source of non-integrability. Under a uniform moment bound, alignment yields a finite second moment for every timestep density, including Uniform sampling. Controlled experiments across continuous and binary settings reproduce the predicted sampler-dependent instability and show that aligned objectives remain trainable across the tested samplers. These results reconcile pointwise amplification with sampler-dependent empirical success and support alignment as a principled route to more robust flow-matching training.

Soft Graph Transformer for MIMO Detection

We propose the Soft Graph Transformer (SGT), a soft-input-soft-output neural architecture designed for MIMO detection. While Maximum Likelihood (ML) detection achieves optimal accuracy, its exponential complexity makes it infeasible in large systems, and conventional message-passing algorithms rely on asymptotic assumptions that often fail in finite dimensions. Recent Transformer-based detectors show strong performance but typically overlook the MIMO factor graph structure and cannot exploit prior soft information. SGT addresses these limitations by combining self-attention, which encodes contextual dependencies within symbol and constraint subgraphs, with graph-aware cross-attention, which performs structured message passing across subgraphs. Its soft-input interface allows the integration of auxiliary priors, producing effective soft outputs while maintaining computational efficiency. Experiments demonstrate that SGT achieves near-ML performance and offers a flexible and interpretable framework for receiver systems that leverage soft priors.
