EgoSIS: From Factorized Visual Ego-Transitions to Motion-Canonical Spatial Evidence for UAV Reasoning

UAV video question answering requires separating camera motion from changes in the scene, but RGB-only multimodal models receive no explicit, stable reference for that separation. We present EgoSIS, a pose-free adapter that converts RGB-derived bidirectional flow into motion-canonical visual evidence in three stages. Factorized Visual Ego-Transitions (FVET) fits a robust image-plane transition and exposes motion, residual-support, and reliability factors. Reliability-Gated Ego-Transition Memory (ReTEM) uses reliability-weighted updates for a bounded history and re-anchors it at cuts or sustained uncertainty. Ego-Aligned Spatial Evidence (EASE) warps supported visual features into each segment's local anchor and injects four spatial evidence tokens per visual slice through zero-initialized residuals, without changing Qwen's visual-token count. On SIS-Bench, EgoSIS-8B obtains 89.9\% perception, 82.5\% perception-plus-memory, and 76.2\% overall accuracy, with the largest gains concentrated in self-awareness perception and memory. The adapter thus provides an interpretable interface between optical flow and spatial reasoning.

FinCUABuild: Can Agents Build Reliable Benchmarks for Dynamic Financial Computer Use?

Financial scenarios are diverse and complex, spanning varying data conditions, tool configurations, and workflows. Yet existing CUA, Computer-Using Agent, evaluation tasks remain largely manually constructed, limiting scalable coverage of real-world financial scenarios. Then, can agents autonomously construct diverse CUA evaluation tasks for financial scenarios? Evaluating this capability poses three key challenges: scenario coverage of construction requests, fair comparison across construction methods, and reliable assessment of generated task quality. To solve these, we introduce FinCUABuildBench, a benchmark for evaluating financial CUA task construction, featuring: (i) 576 construction requests covering 24 financial workflows and three types of runtime variation; (ii) standardized input, budget, and output specifications; and (iii) a task qualification mechanism based on execution tests and quality checks. We further introduce FinCUABuildAgent, a multi-agent system for automatically constructing dynamic financial CUA evaluation tasks. It consists of three modules that jointly construct tasks, environments, and validators. On FinCUABuildBench, under the same model backbone, existing agent-based construction methods achieve strict qualification rates of only 1.3-8.3%, while FinCUABuildAgent reaches 31.3%. Downstream evaluations further show that the constructed tasks can effectively differentiate CUA task-execution capabilities. These results demonstrate that agents can autonomously construct financial CUA tasks with meaningful evaluation value, offering a practical path toward broader evaluation coverage in financial scenarios.

GAAT: Geometry-Aware Alignment Transformer for Multimodal UAV Perception

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multimodal perception integrates visible (RGB), infrared (IR), synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and depth sensors for scene understanding under diverse conditions. However, differences in optics, resolution, and mounting often limit practical systems to global or image-center alignment. After tokenization, parallax, platform motion, and lens distortion can shift corresponding patch centers across modalities, weakening the spatial correspondence assumed by dense contrastive learning and cross-modal fusion. We propose GAAT (Geometry-Aware Alignment Transformer), an alignment-first pretrained model that estimates local correspondence reliability before cross-modal interaction. GAAT introduces syncPATC, which learns patch-center consistency under synchronized view transformations without correspondence annotations. It emits geometric priors, including token and query confidence, query centers, and sub-token offsets, that identify reliable local anchors across residual misalignment. Guided by these priors, MG-Sparse-MMA performs query-mediated sparse fusion over top-K_s reliable regions, replacing dense all-patch interaction with geometry-calibrated local updates. RA-QCGCL aligns pretraining supervision with this sparse query bottleneck through reliable patch-to-patch, patch-to-query, and query-to-query contrastive branches. We introduce UAVMeta and StateBench, which provide four acquisition-state scores derived from platform telemetry and image statistics: camera reliability, observation scale, viewpoint stability, and flight maneuver complexity. Extensive experiments across six downstream tasks demonstrate consistently superior transfer performance, establishing GAAT as a state-of-the-art multimodal foundation model for UAV perception. StateBench further enables a systematic diagnosis of real-world acquisition conditions.

Style Wins, Substance Loses: A Diagnosis of LLM-as-Judge in Idea Generation

However, whether these judges truly evaluate the scientific substance of ideas or are influenced by superficial stylistic presentation remains an open question. To address this question, we propose SciStyleBench, a unified three-component benchmark for diagnosing and mitigating stylistic bias in LLM-based idea evaluation: (i) First, SciStyleStage, a three-stage evaluation environment that applies controlled stylistic perturbations to fixed scientific content across three settings no context, fixed-domain context, and open-domain retrieval context, covering 600 scientific ideas and 15 style variants, with 9,000 evaluation instances per setting; (ii) Second, SciStyleMetrics, a set of quantitative measures, including Style Bias Index (SBI), Substance Recognition Rate (SRR), and Adversarial Win Rate (AWR), to characterize how stylistic variation affects scoring stability, substance discrimination, and ranking robustness; (iii) Third, SciStyleExtractor, a plug-and-play evaluation module that separates presentation style from scientific content by predicting style type and deviation before style-conditioned evaluation, enabling us to assess whether style awareness reduces stylistic bias. Experiments on SciStyleBench show that direct LLM judges remain sensitive to writing style and struggle to distinguish scientific substance. In contrast, SciStyleExtractor reduces SBI from 0.566 to 0.501 while increasing SRR and AWR from 0.504 and 0.554 to 0.759 and 0.899, respectively. These results suggest that robust idea evaluation requires invariance to stylistic variation without sacrificing sensitivity to scientific substance. Overall, SciStyleBench provides a systematic framework for identifying, quantifying, and mitigating stylistic bias in scientific idea evaluation.

OmniFood-Bench: Evaluating VLMs for Nutrient Reasoning and Personalized Health Advice

The rapid integration of Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) into critical infrastructure promises to revolutionize personalized healthcare and dietary management. However, in the domain of food systems, autonomous agents face a unique and persistent challenge: the "Systemic Information Asymmetry" between visual appearance and intrinsic nutritional composition. Existing benchmarks primarily focus on coarse-grained classification tasks, such as food category recognition, which fail to evaluate the intricate reasoning chain required for real-world dietary management -- specifically, the ability to traverse from identifying hidden ingredients to estimating physical mass, and finally synthesizing safety-critical medical advice. In this paper, we introduce OmniFood-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark constructed from the MM-Food-100K dataset. Unlike previous works, OmniFood-Bench evaluates VLMs across three progressive capabilities: Basic Perception (Ingredients & Cooking Methods), Quantitative Reasoning (Portion Size & Nutritional Profiling), and Safety-Critical Advisory (Disease-Specific Recommendations). We evaluate six state-of-the-art VLMs, including gpt-5.1, gemini-3-flash, and qwen3-vl-8B. Our extensive experiments reveal a startling "Semantic-Physical Gap": while models achieve near-human accuracy in naming dishes, they exhibit catastrophic failure in mass estimation and frequently hallucinate benign advice for high-risk diabetic profiles. This work establishes a rigorous standard for trustworthiness in autonomous agents deployed for public health.

Parametric Memory Decoding for Zero-Shot Routing in LoRA-Based External Parametric Memory

With the rise of parametric memory, LoRA-based External Parametric Memory (EPM) has emerged as a modular solution, but existing routing methods often introduce additional training, deployment, and maintenance overhead. This raises a natural question: can a LoRA-based EPM bank be routed without maintaining an additional routing component? However, existing zero-shot LoRA routing methods still face two problems under the EPM setting: (1) their evaluations are scattered across different task settings rather than organized around EPM access, and (2) their routing signals lack a unified perspective to guide systematic improvement. To address these problems, we organize PMD-Bench, covering document-level, domain-level knowledge, and task-skill, and propose Parametric Memory Decoding (PMD), the first framework designed to systematically improve zero-shot LoRA routing by reframing it as decoding activations over external parametric memory. Based on PMD, we further instantiate PMDRouter, which scores each LoRA by its response magnitude from a single base-model prefill. Experiments on PMD-Bench show that PMDRouter achieves the strongest internal-signal performance across multiple zero-shot routing settings. These results demonstrate the feasibility of zero-shot LoRA routing and suggest that PMD can serve as a general framework for improving zero-shot routing methods.

LabGuard: Grounding Natural-Language Laboratory Rules into Runtime Guards for Embodied Laboratory Agents

Scientific embodied agents are increasingly capable of carrying out laboratory procedures, but executing these procedures safely in dynamic laboratory environments remains challenging. Current safety approaches often overlook the intermediate step of transforming laboratory natural language, including safety rules, manuals, protocols, and standard operating procedures, into machine-checkable runtime constraints. We introduce LabGuard (Laboratory Guard), a language-to-execution safety suite that grounds natural-language laboratory rules into executable specifications and deploys them as runtime guards. LabGuard includes three core components: LabGuard-IR, which defines a typed executable representation; LabGuard-Bench, which provides 812 supervised annotations expanded from 203 seed laboratory rules; and LabGuard-Grounder, which maps natural-language laboratory rules into LabGuard-IR. The resulting IR instances are handled by the LabGuard Pipeline, which compiles them into runtime monitors and applies them at the controller boundary. Experiments show that LabGuard generalizes to unseen laboratory-rule sources, achieves 79.4 task-scope F1, and reduces unsafe events from 39.5% to 23.8% after monitor compilation. In LabUtopia, its runtime monitors integrate with ACT, keeping interventions below 0.5% while preserving task success.

Zero-Parameter Geometric Gating for Temporally Stable Low-Altitude UAV Video Semantic Segmentation

Video semantic segmentation for low-altitude UAVs requires temporal consistency, yet dense optical flow introduces spatially structured noise in the planar regions that dominate aerial imagery. We propose a zero-parameter geometric gate that uses RANSAC homography inlier ratios on a $16\times16$ spatial grid to route each region to either homography or optical flow warp before fusion via Semantic Similarity Propagation. The gate requires no learned parameters -- only a median-threshold binary decision on RANSAC statistics -- adding only 211K trainable parameters (the SSP fusion layer) to a frozen backbone. On synthetic UAVid, the method achieves +4.24--4.91\% mIoU improvement over base models across two architectures (SegFormer-b2 and Hiera-S+UPerNet). Mechanism diagnostics reveal that flow residuals in planar regions are spatially autocorrelated (Moran's I = 0.32, $p < 0.001$), predict boundary instability (Spearman $\rho = 0.66$), and that rigidification recovers temporal consistency from 62\% to 92\% (+29.5pp) in homography-valid regions.

TextAlign: Preference Alignment for Text Rendering with Hierarchical Rewards

Faithful text rendering remains a persistent weakness of large text-to-image generative models, as it requires both semantic instruction following and fine-grained glyph-level structure. Prior methods often improve this ability through architecture-specific modules or encoder modifications, which complicate deployment across foundation models. We study text rendering as a post-training preference-alignment problem and propose TextAlign, a non-invasive framework that keeps the generator architecture unchanged. The key component is a hierarchical vision-language model (VLM)-based reward that decomposes rendering errors into global, word, and glyph levels, then converts binary defect judgments into a scalar preference signal. The resulting signal supports both Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). Experiments on FLUX.1-dev and Z-Image-Turbo show consistent gains in OCR-based text accuracy without degrading general generation quality. Compared with strong foundation and text-rendering baselines, including SD3.5, Qwen-Image, AnyText, and TextDiffuser, these results indicate that reward design offers a scalable alternative to model redesign for improving text rendering.

FineState-Bench: Benchmarking State-Conditioned Grounding for Fine-grained GUI State Setting

Despite the rapid progress of large vision-language models (LVLMs), fine-grained, state-conditioned GUI interaction remains challenging. Current evaluations offer limited coverage, imprecise target-state definitions, and an overreliance on final-task success, obscuring where and why agents fail. To address this gap, we introduce \textbf{FineState-Bench}, a benchmark that evaluates whether an agent can correctly ground an instruction to the intended UI control and reach the exact target state. FineState-Bench comprises 2,209 instances across desktop, web, and mobile platforms, spanning four interaction families and 23 UI component types, with each instance explicitly specifying an exact target state for fine-grained state setting. We further propose \textit{FineState-Metrics}, a four-stage diagnostic pipeline with stage-wise success rates: Localization Success Rate (SR@Loc), Interaction Success Rate (SR@Int), Exact State Success Rate at Locate (ES-SR@Loc), and Exact State Success Rate at Interact (ES-SR@Int), and a plug-and-play \textit{Visual Diagnostic Assistant} (VDA) that generates a Description and a bounding-box Localization Hint to diagnose visual grounding reason via controlled w/ vs.\ w/o comparisons. On FineState-Bench, exact goal-state success remains low: ES-SR@Int peaks at 32.8\% on Web and 22.8\% on average across platforms. With VDA localization hints, Gemini-2.5-Flash gains +14.9 ES-SR@Int points, suggesting substantial headroom from improved visual grounding, yet overall accuracy is still insufficient for reliable fine-grained state-conditioned interaction \href{https://github.com/FengxianJi/FineState-Bench}{Github.}

ServImage: An Image Generation and Editing Benchmark from Real-world Commercial Imaging Services

Recent image generation and editing models demonstrate robust adherence to instructions and high visual quality on academic benchmarks. However, their performance on paid, real-world design projects remains uncertain. We introduce \textbf{ServImage}, a benchmark that explicitly correlates model outputs with economic value in commercial design projects. ServImage consists of (i) \textbf{\textit{ServImageBench}}: a dataset of 1.07k paid commercial design tasks and 2.05k designer deliverables totaling over \$295k, covering portrait, product, and digital content, along with 33k candidate images and 33k human annotations. (ii) \textbf{\textit{ServImageScore}}: an integrated scoring system that combines three quality dimensions: baseline requirements fulfilment, visual execution quality, and commercial necessity satisfaction. These three dimensions are designed to characterize the factors that drive human payment decisions and indicate whether an image is commercially acceptable. (iii) \textbf{\textit{ServImageModel}}: under this scoring system, we propose a payment prediction model trained on the human-annotated candidate images, achieving 82.00\% accuracy in predicting human payment decisions and producing calibrated payment probabilities. ServImage provides a comprehensive foundation for assessing the commercial viability of image generation models and offers a scalable resource for future research on economically grounded vision systems \href{https://github.com/FengxianJi/ServImage}{Github.}

FineState-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Fine-Grained State Control in GUI Agents

With the rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence technology, Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents have demonstrated tremendous potential for autonomously managing daily tasks through natural language instructions. However, current evaluation frameworks for GUI agents suffer from fundamental flaws: existing benchmarks overly focus on coarse-grained task completion while neglecting fine-grained control capabilities crucial for real-world applications. To address this, we introduce FineState-Bench, the first evaluation and diagnostic standard for fine-grained GUI proxy operations, designed to quantify fine-grained control. This multi-platform (desktop, Web, mobile) framework includes 2257 task benchmarks in four components and uses a four-phase indicator for comprehensive perception-to-control assessment. To analyze perception and positioning for refined operations, we developed the plug-and-play Visual Diagnostic Assistant (VDA), enabling the first quantitative decoupling analysis of these capabilities. Experimental results on our benchmark show that the most advanced models achieve only 32.8% fine-grained interaction accuracy. Using our VDA in controlled experiments, quantifying the impact of visual capabilities, we showed that ideal visual localization boosts Gemini-2.5-Flash's success rate by 14.9\%. Our diagnostic framework confirms for the first time that the primary bottleneck for current GUI proxies is basic visual positioning capability.All resources are fully open-source. github: https://github.com/AnonymousThewarehouse/FineState-Bench huggingface: https://huggingface.co/datasets/Willtime2006/Static-FineBench

Agent-Based Anti-Jamming Techniques for UAV Communications in Adversarial Environments: A Comprehensive Survey

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle communications are encountering increasingly severe multi-source interference challenges in dynamic adversarial environments, which impose higher demands on their reliability and resilience. To address these challenges, agent-based autonomous anti-jamming techniques have emerged as a crucial research direction. This paper presents a comprehensive survey that first formalizes the concept of intelligent anti-jamming agents for UAV communications and establishes a closed-loop decision-making framework centered on the "Perception-Decision-Action" (P-D-A) paradigm. Within this framework, we systematically review key technologies at each stage, with particular emphasis on employing game theory to model UAV-jammer interactions and integrating reinforcement learning-based intelligent algorithms to derive adaptive anti-jamming strategies. Furthermore, we discuss potential limitations of current approaches, identify critical engineering challenges, and outline promising future research directions, aiming to provide valuable references for developing more intelligent and robust anti-jamming communication systems for UAVs.

Frequency Point Game Environment for UAVs via Expert Knowledge and Large Language Model

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have made significant advancements in communication stability and security through techniques such as frequency hopping, signal spreading, and adaptive interference suppression. However, challenges remain in modeling spectrum competition, integrating expert knowledge, and predicting opponent behavior. To address these issues, we propose UAV-FPG (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - Frequency Point Game), a game-theoretic environment model that simulates the dynamic interaction between interference and anti-interference strategies of opponent and ally UAVs in communication frequency bands. The model incorporates a prior expert knowledge base to optimize frequency selection and employs large language models for path planning, simulating a "strong adversary". Experimental results highlight the effectiveness of integrating the expert knowledge base and the large language model, with the latter significantly improving path planning in dynamic scenarios through iterative interactions, outperforming fixed-path strategies. UAV-FPG provides a robust platform for advancing anti-jamming strategies and intelligent decision-making in UAV communication systems.

Geolocation with Real Human Gameplay Data: A Large-Scale Dataset and Human-Like Reasoning Framework

Geolocation, the task of identifying an image's location, requires complex reasoning and is crucial for navigation, monitoring, and cultural preservation. However, current methods often produce coarse, imprecise, and non-interpretable localization. A major challenge lies in the quality and scale of existing geolocation datasets. These datasets are typically small-scale and automatically constructed, leading to noisy data and inconsistent task difficulty, with images that either reveal answers too easily or lack sufficient clues for reliable inference. To address these challenges, we introduce a comprehensive geolocation framework with three key components: GeoComp, a large-scale dataset; GeoCoT, a novel reasoning method; and GeoEval, an evaluation metric, collectively designed to address critical challenges and drive advancements in geolocation research. At the core of this framework is GeoComp (Geolocation Competition Dataset), a large-scale dataset collected from a geolocation game platform involving 740K users over two years. It comprises 25 million entries of metadata and 3 million geo-tagged locations spanning much of the globe, with each location annotated thousands to tens of thousands of times by human users. The dataset offers diverse difficulty levels for detailed analysis and highlights key gaps in current models. Building on this dataset, we propose Geographical Chain-of-Thought (GeoCoT), a novel multi-step reasoning framework designed to enhance the reasoning capabilities of Large Vision Models (LVMs) in geolocation tasks. GeoCoT improves performance by integrating contextual and spatial cues through a multi-step process that mimics human geolocation reasoning. Finally, using the GeoEval metric, we demonstrate that GeoCoT significantly boosts geolocation accuracy by up to 25% while enhancing interpretability.

Asynchronous and Segmented Bidirectional Encoding for NMT

With the rapid advancement of Neural Machine Translation (NMT), enhancing translation efficiency and quality has become a focal point of research. Despite the commendable performance of general models such as the Transformer in various aspects, they still fall short in processing long sentences and fully leveraging bidirectional contextual information. This paper introduces an improved model based on the Transformer, implementing an asynchronous and segmented bidirectional decoding strategy aimed at elevating translation efficiency and accuracy. Compared to traditional unidirectional translations from left-to-right or right-to-left, our method demonstrates heightened efficiency and improved translation quality, particularly in handling long sentences. Experimental results on the IWSLT2017 dataset confirm the effectiveness of our approach in accelerating translation and increasing accuracy, especially surpassing traditional unidirectional strategies in long sentence translation. Furthermore, this study analyzes the impact of sentence length on decoding outcomes and explores the model's performance in various scenarios. The findings of this research not only provide an effective encoding strategy for the NMT field but also pave new avenues and directions for future studies.

Efficient Reinforcement Learning via Decoupling Exploration and Utilization

Reinforcement Learning (RL), recognized as an efficient learning approach, has achieved remarkable success across multiple fields and applications, including gaming, robotics, and autonomous vehicles. Classical single-agent reinforcement learning grapples with the imbalance of exploration and exploitation as well as limited generalization abilities. This methodology frequently leads to algorithms settling for suboptimal solutions that are tailored only to specific datasets. In this work, our aim is to train agent with efficient learning by decoupling exploration and utilization, so that agent can escaping the conundrum of suboptimal Solutions. In reinforcement learning, the previously imposed pessimistic punitive measures have deprived the model of its exploratory potential, resulting in diminished exploration capabilities. To address this, we have introduced an additional optimistic Actor to enhance the model's exploration ability, while employing a more constrained pessimistic Actor for performance evaluation. The above idea is implemented in the proposed OPARL (Optimistic and Pessimistic Actor Reinforcement Learning) algorithm. This unique amalgamation within the reinforcement learning paradigm fosters a more balanced and efficient approach. It facilitates the optimization of policies that concentrate on high-reward actions via pessimistic exploitation strategies while concurrently ensuring extensive state coverage through optimistic exploration. Empirical and theoretical investigations demonstrate that OPARL enhances agent capabilities in both utilization and exploration. In the most tasks of DMControl benchmark and Mujoco environment, OPARL performed better than state-of-the-art methods. Our code has released on https://github.com/yydsok/OPARL
