CausalCache: Conditional High-Fidelity Restoration for Long-Horizon GUI Agents

Long-horizon GUI agents can retain complete action histories as compact text, but only a few historical screenshots fit in active context. We formulate this as budgeted fidelity restoration: every event remains summarized, while a fixed budget $B$ determines which events regain their archived screenshots. Recent-$B$ assigns all visual slots to the latest events. CausalCache instead scores the complete history and swaps in an older event only when its predicted utility exceeds that of a recent event. A history-gated key/value adapter modifies only restored history-image tokens and is exactly bypassed when no history image is active, preserving current-screen processing. The adapter and selector are trained with matched-budget interventions on desktop trajectories and evaluated zero-shot on mobile. On OSWorld-Verified, activating historical screenshots improves success by about $13$ percentage points over summary-only memory. Under the official $15$-step limit, CausalCache and Recent-$4$ are statistically indistinguishable; in a $30$-step diagnostic, CausalCache achieves $46.7\%$ success versus $42.4\%$ ($+4.3$ points). Zero-shot on $117$ MobileWorld tasks, CausalCache improves over Recent-$4$ from $30.2\%$ to $36.8\%$. The gain is concentrated on a pre-defined cross-app memory-candidate split ($30.6\%$ vs. $19.4\%$, $+11.2$ points), while single-app controls show no detectable difference ($43.6\%$ vs. $42.4\%$). These results show that selecting which past events regain pixels is more effective than spending a fixed visual budget entirely on recency.

Is Vibe Coding Safe? Benchmarking Vulnerability of Agent-Generated Code in Real-World Tasks

Vibe coding is a new software development paradigm in which human engineers prompt a large language model (LLM) agent to complete complex coding tasks with little supervision. Although vibe coding is increasingly adopted, is the generated code really safe to deploy in production? To investigate this question, we propose SUSVIBES, a benchmark consisting of 186 feature-request software engineering tasks from real-world open-source projects, for which, human programmers committed vulnerable implementations. We evaluate 12 widely used coding agentic settings with frontier models on the benchmark. Disturbingly, all agents perform poorly in terms of software security. Although 57% of the solutions from SWE-Agent with Claude 4 Sonnet are functionally correct, only 11.8% are secure. Further experiments demonstrate that preliminary security strategies, such as augmenting the feature request with vulnerability hints, cannot mitigate these security issues. Our findings raise serious concerns about the widespread adoption of vibe coding, particularly in security-sensitive applications. The code and dataset are available at https://github.com/LeiLiLab/susvibes. The leaderboard is at https://leililab.github.io/ susvibes-leaderboard.

ExpertVerse: A General-Purpose Benchmark for Expert-Level Reasoning in Knowledge-Intensive Visual Synthesis

Recent advances in multimodal generative models have enabled instruction-based image generation to move beyond semantic manipulation to knowledge-driven visual reasoning. However, these methods focus on explicit commonsense reasoning, shallow causal understanding, and direct knowledge recall, failing at knowledge-intensive generation. We develop \textbf{ExpertVerse}, a capability-centric benchmark to evaluate generative models via knowledge-intensive lens. ExpertVerse stratifies reasoning generation across an orthogonal taxonomy of \textit{9 cognitive capabilities} and \textit{8 expert disciplines}, yielding \textit{58 sub-disciplines}. We curate 1,611 expert-annotated instances covering single-image editing, multi-image composition, and text-to-image generation. We further develop an automated workflow to produce \textbf{ExpertVerse-100K}, a large-scale dataset with reasoning traces and knowledge-anchored rationale annotations. Based on this, we train \textbf{KnowThinker} with RL fine-tuning, a VLM reasoning engine with world knowledge that jointly generates thinking processes and refined instructions. Towards the cross-modal credit misalignment and multi-objective gradient conflicts in multi-reward optimization, we propose a tailored Bootstrapped Pareto Policy Optimization (BPPO), which synergizes Bootstrapping Reward Rectification (BRR) and Conflict-Aware Pareto Advantage Fusion (CPAF). Extensive results of both open-source and proprietary models exposes critical reasoning deficits, highlighting imperative for knowledge-intensive benchmarks towards next-generation visual generation.

RASST: Retrieval-Augmented Simultaneous Speech Translation

Simultaneous speech translation produces target text incrementally from partial speech input. Recent speech large language models have markedly improved SST quality but still struggle with rare and domain-specific terminology. Retrieval augmentation has helped in automatic speech recognition and neural machine translation, but extending it to SST is non-trivial: retrieval must be fast and accurate under partial speech, and the model must decide whether and when to apply retrieved terms during incremental generation. We propose Retrieval-Augmented Simultaneous Speech Translation (RASST), which addresses both challenges. For accurate cross-modal retrieval under partial input, RASST trains a lightweight speech-text retriever that produces chunkwise terminology hints for the Speech LLM via multi-scale retrieval. To use these hints correctly, we synthesize training data that teaches the Speech LLM to decide whether and when to apply each retrieved term. Experiments on ACL 60/60 dev set and the ESO test set show that RASST improves terminology accuracy by nearly 40% and overall translation quality by up to 3 BLEU points, with negligible computational overhead.

Probing the Collision Geometry via Two-Photon Processes in Heavy-Ion Collisions

The initial collision geometry, including the reaction plane, is crucial for interpreting collective phenomena in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, yet it remains experimentally inaccessible through conventional measurements. Recent studies propose utilizing photon-induced processes as a direct probe, leveraging the complete linear polarization of emitted photons whose orientation strongly correlates with the collision geometry. In this work, we employ a QED-based approach to systematically investigate dilepton production via two-photon processes in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies and detector acceptances. Our calculations reveal that dilepton emission exhibits significant sensitivity to the initial collision geometry through both the azimuthal angles of their emission (defined by the relative momentum vector of the two leptons) and the overall momentum orientation of the dilepton pairs. These findings highlight the potential of two-photon-generated dileptons as a novel, polarization-driven probe to quantify the initial collision geometry and reduce uncertainties in characterizing quark-gluon plasma properties.
