Pointing the Way, Hiding the Destination: Practical Private Dense Retrieval at Scale

Hosted retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and semantic search allow users to query valuable provider-held corpora, raising two competing demands: to hide each query and chosen result, yet reveal only the documents that the user is authorized to receive. Existing cryptographic approaches either make this costly by processing the entire corpus for every query, or sacrifice quality for efficiency by scanning a few clusters. We repurpose learned deep hashing as a private filter: a randomized binary code points the provider to a short candidate list, while encrypted reranking and oblivious key transfer protect the precise query and final selection. This shortlist short-circuits full-corpus cryptographic search without sacrificing retrieval quality: with 200-500 candidates, it closely matches full-corpus retrieval across five zero-shot corpora spanning 25K to 5.4M documents. On the full 2.68M-passage NQ corpus over a 10-Gbps link, our protocol only adds 0.73 seconds, or 10 percent, to a 128-token Qwen3-32B RAG pipeline. The released code satisfies directional metric differential privacy (DP) and substantially reduces embedding-inversion and property-inference leakage, demonstrating that a carefully learned shortlist can make private dense retrieval both accurate and practical.

Auditing Return Conditioning as a Control Knob: An Offline Diagnostic for Decision Transformer Recommendation

Offline return-to-go (RTG) sweeps can test whether a recommender conditioned on return is controllable, but the intervention is rarely audited. Rewriting every historical RTG token creates an increasingly synthetic context, while rewriting only the current token is more local. We test this distinction in an offline setting with a fixed window. On MovieLens 25M and MyAnimeList 2020 (MAL), we evaluate a Decision Transformer using an RTG locality ladder, a control without RTG, a logged match and score reward check, and a within-trajectory shuffled RTG ablation. On MovieLens, a $K=20$ intervention that covers the full context, applied only to real context positions, shifts the share of Crime predictions by $+23.61 \pm 2.96$ percentage points from the validation 5th to 95th percentile, whereas changing only the current slot shifts it by $+1.77 \pm 1.17$ points. The shuffled RTG model largely removes this response ($+2.08 \pm 1.20$ points at $K=20$). On MAL, the same protocol does not produce a Drama response: $K=20$ changes Drama by $-0.03 \pm 0.07$ points, and $K=1$ by $-0.01 \pm 0.01$. Genre prediction accuracy is numerically close across real RTG, no RTG, and shuffled RTG, and at $K=1$ logged match rates and matched ratings change little. Because dataset and focus-genre selection were exploratory, these magnitudes are descriptive; the cross-diagnostic pattern across locality, shuffled RTG, and the null result on MAL does not establish reward control. We propose four checks: intervention locality, a no-RTG baseline, a reward check, and RTG-content ablation.

Cross-View Urban Sensing: Mapping Subjective Streetscape Perception via AlphaEarth Embeddings and Urban Context

Residents' perception of the urban streetscape is an important factor in public health, active mobility, and social wellbeing. Street view imagery (SVI) has emerged as a widely used data source for assessing these perceptual qualities, yet its uneven coverage and irregular updating limit large-scale measurement. Here, we present CVLNet, a Cross-View Learning Network that predicts street-level perception from AlphaEarth embeddings and multi-source urban contextual data without requiring SVI at inference. CVLNet applies per-task adaptive gating to jointly model five perceptual dimensions, using labels from the pretrained SVI-Percept model as ground truth. The proposed method is evaluated across four Southeast Asian cities: Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Manila. CVLNet achieves a median road-segment-level Adjusted $R^{2}$ of 0.76 and consistently outperforms the baseline models, with gains ranging from 5.9--11.3% across the five perceptual dimensions. Ablation experiments show that AlphaEarth features and urban contextual features contribute complementary information. We further produce citywide road-level streetscape perception maps for five subjective perceptual dimensions across all four cities, extending perception estimation from the 13--31% of the road network directly covered by available SVI to the complete road network of each city. Integrating these maps with WorldPop gridded population data, we quantify exposure inequality across population-density, demographic, and land-use groups using the Deficit Palma Ratio. These results demonstrate that remote sensing can serve as a scalable alternative to SVI for citywide streetscape perception mapping, enabling a more comprehensive assessment of urban environmental inequality.

MentalThink: Shaping Thoughts in Mental SVG World

We introduce MentalThink, a visual-symbolic reasoning paradigm that equips Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) with an executable mechanism for "mental" visualization. The core of MentalThink is a think-with-SVG pipeline, where the model learns to generate, render, and interpret scalable vector graphics (SVG) code as an intermediate visual representation for multi-turn reasoning. By creating structured vector sketches, the model can externalize spatial hypotheses, inspect them through deterministic rendering, and reason within a constrained geometric space, effectively mimicking the human process of mental imagery. We instantiate this paradigm through a two-stage training framework, combining Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) for SVG syntactic alignment with multi-turn Reinforcement Learning (RL) to encourage iterative inspection, revision, and refinement of intermediate visual hypotheses. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that MentalThink achieves superior performance on spatial understanding and reasoning benchmarks (e.g., 55.1% on VSIBench, 76.0% on MindCube), showing that executable vector graphics provide a verifiable visual workspace for dynamic perspective taking, visual reflection, and compositional scene construction.

Fractionally Supervised Classification with Maxima Nominated Samples

Fractionally supervised classification (FSC) offers a flexible framework for combining labeled and unlabeled data in model-based classification, but existing formulations assume simple random sampling. In many applications, however, the retained observation is an extreme order statistic from a set rather than a randomly selected unit. This is particularly appealing when the target population is rare, since maxima nomination sampling (NS) can enrich the sample with the most informative observations, as in screening, environmental monitoring, repeated testing, and reliability studies. Under such designs, the likelihood function changes fundamentally, and the usual FSC EM construction is no longer valid. We develop FSC for nominated samples by introducing a latent representation that accounts for both the class membership of the observed maximum and the latent composition of the remaining units in the set. The resulting method yields a proper EM algorithm and a coherent weighted-likelihood FSC procedure for NS data. We present the methodology in general form, illustrate it for a rare-event contamination normal mixtures, and show through simulation that it substantially improves on the misspecified alternative by ignoring the extra rank information of such data. A real-data analysis demonstrates its practical value.

The Breakthrough of Sleep: A Contactless Approach for Accurate Sleep Stage Detection Using the Sleepal AI Lamp

Sleep staging is essential for the assessment of sleep quality and the diagnosis of sleep-related disorders. Conventional polysomnography (PSG), while considered the gold standard, is intrusive, labor-intensive, and unsuitable for long-term monitoring. This study evaluates the performance of the Sleepal AI Lamp, a contactless, radar-based consumer-grade sleep tracker, in comparison with gold-standard polysomnography (PSG), using a large-scale dataset comprising 1022 overnight recordings. We extract multi-scale respiratory and motion-related features from radar signals to train a frequency-augmented deep learning model. For the binary sleep-wake classification task, experimental results demonstrated that the model achieved an accuracy of 92.8% alongside a macro-averaged F1 score of 0.895. For four-stage classification (wake, light NREM (N1 + N2), deep NREM (N3), REM), the model achieved an accuracy of 78.5% with a Cohen's kappa coefficient of 0.695 in healthy individuals and maintained a stable accuracy of 77.2% with a kappa of 0.677 in a heterogeneous population including patients with varying severities of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). These experimental results demonstrate that the sleep staging performance of the contactless Sleepal AI Lamp is in high agreement with expert-labeled PSG sleep stages. Our findings suggest that non-contact radar sensing, combined with advanced temporal modeling, can provide reliable sleep staging performance without requiring physical contact or wearable devices. Owing to its unobtrusive nature, ease of deployment, and robustness to long-term use, the contactless Sleepal AI Lamp shows strong potential for clinical screening, home-based sleep assessment, and continuous longitudinal sleep monitoring in real-world medical and healthcare applications.

Holter-to-Sleep: AI-Enabled Repurposing of Single-Lead ECG for Sleep Phenotyping

Sleep disturbances are tightly linked to cardiovascular risk, yet polysomnography (PSG)-the clinical reference standard-remains resource-intensive and poorly suited for multi-night, home-based, and large-scale screening. Single-lead electrocardiography (ECG), already ubiquitous in Holter and patch-based devices, enables comfortable long-term acquisition and encodes sleep-relevant physiology through autonomic modulation and cardiorespiratory coupling. Here, we present a proof-of-concept Holter-to-Sleep framework that, using single-lead ECG as the sole input, jointly supports overnight sleep phenotyping and Holter-grade cardiac phenotyping within the same recording, and further provides an explicit analytic pathway for scalable cardio-sleep association studies. The framework is developed and validated on a pooled multi-center PSG sample of 10,439 studies spanning four public cohorts, with independent external evaluation to assess cross-cohort generalizability, and additional real-world feasibility assessment using overnight patch-ECG recordings via objective-subjective consistency analysis. This integrated design enables robust extraction of clinically meaningful overnight sleep phenotypes under heterogeneous populations and acquisition conditions, and facilitates systematic linkage between ECG-derived sleep metrics and arrhythmia-related Holter phenotypes. Collectively, the Holter-to-Sleep paradigm offers a practical foundation for low-burden, home-deployable, and scalable cardio-sleep monitoring and research beyond traditional PSG-centric workflows.

Optimize discrete loss with finite-difference physics constraint and time-stepping for PDE solving

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an important approach for analyzing flow phenomena and predicting engineering-relevant quantities. The governing physics is formulated as partial differential equations(PDEs) and solved numerically on computational grids. Physics-informed neural networks(PINNs) have emerged as a popular optimization-based approach for solving PDEs, but they often suffer from ill-conditioned objectives and the high cost of automatic differentiation. Optimization-based discretizations such as ODIL mitigate several PINN drawbacks by optimizing discrete variables directly, yet accuracy and efficiency remain limited on body-fitted geometries and for time-dependent problems. This paper proposes FDTO, a finite-difference time-stepping loss-optimization solver that defines physics losses from discrete residuals. FDTO couples curvilinear coordinate transforms with body-fitted structured grids and decomposes long-horizon evolution into sequential, well-conditioned subproblems consistent with time marching. The method is primarily evaluated on incompressible Navier-Stokes flows, including lid-driven cavity benchmarks, external airfoil aerodynamics (lift/drag consistency), and a cylinder case on a multi-block structured mesh with cross-block coherent solutions. Additional validations on diffusion and flow-mixing problems further demonstrate generality. Compared with representative PINN-based solvers, FDTO reduces GPU memory by about 82.6% on the lid-driven cavity case and achieves 3-5 times lower relative error on the flow-mixing problem. These results indicate that FDTO enables accurate, stable, and memory-efficient discrete-loss optimization for incompressible-flow solutions, while remaining applicable to other PDE models.

Depth-adapted adaptive optics for three-photon microscopy

Three-photon (3-P) fluorescence microscopy enables deep in vivo imaging with subcellular resolution, but its performance is fundamentally constrained by the maximum permissible laser power required to avoid tissue heating and photodamage. Under these power-limited conditions, fluorescence signal generation, image contrast, and achievable imaging depth are strongly affected by the illumination beam profile and aberration correction strategy. In this paper, we showed that using a fixed illumination beam size was suboptimal across different imaging depths. We further showed that conventional Zernike-based adaptive optics (AO) correction degrades under reduced Gaussian illumination beam sizes due to loss of modal orthogonality. This degradation results in slow convergence, unintended focal and field-of-view shifts, and excessive wavefront deformations. To overcome these limitations, we introduced a depth-adapted AO framework in which both the illumination beam profile and the aberration correction basis were dynamically matched to the imaging conditions. By combining depth-optimised beam underfilling with a bespoke set of illumination-matched aberration modes, we achieved faster and more stable AO convergence, enhanced fluorescence signal and image quality during deep in vivo multi-channel neuroimaging. Together, these results established a practical and robust AO-enabled three-photon microscopy strategy that maximised imaging performance under realistic power constraints.

3DMedAgent: Unified Perception-to-Understanding for 3D Medical Analysis

3D CT analysis spans a continuum from low-level perception to high-level clinical understanding. Existing 3D-oriented analysis methods adopt either isolated task-specific modeling or task-agnostic end-to-end paradigms to produce one-hop outputs, impeding the systematic accumulation of perceptual evidence for downstream reasoning. In parallel, recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) exhibit improved visual perception and can integrate visual and textual information effectively, yet their predominantly 2D-oriented designs fundamentally limit their ability to perceive and analyze volumetric medical data. To bridge this gap, we propose 3DMedAgent, a unified agent that enables 2D MLLMs to perform general 3D CT analysis without 3D-specific fine-tuning. 3DMedAgent coordinates heterogeneous visual and textual tools through a flexible MLLM agent, progressively decomposing complex 3D analysis into tractable subtasks that transition from global to regional views, from 3D volumes to informative 2D slices, and from visual evidence to structured textual representations. Central to this design, 3DMedAgent maintains a long-term structured memory that aggregates intermediate tool outputs and supports query-adaptive, evidence-driven multi-step reasoning. We further introduce the DeepChestVQA benchmark for evaluating unified perception-to-understanding capabilities in 3D thoracic imaging. Experiments across over 40 tasks demonstrate that 3DMedAgent consistently outperforms general, medical, and 3D-specific MLLMs, highlighting a scalable path toward general-purpose 3D clinical assistants.Code and data are available at \href{https://github.com/jinlab-imvr/3DMedAgent}{https://github.com/jinlab-imvr/3DMedAgent}.

DIVER: A Robust Text-to-SQL System with Dynamic Interactive Value Linking and Evidence Reasoning

In the era of large language models, Text-to-SQL, as a natural language interface for databases, is playing an increasingly important role. The sota Text-to-SQL models have achieved impressive accuracy, but their performance critically relies on expert-written evidence, which typically clarifies schema and value linking that existing models struggle to identify. Such limitations stem from the ambiguity of user queries and, more importantly, the complexity of comprehending large-scale and dynamic database values. Consequently, in real-world scenarios where expert assistance is unavailable, existing methods suffer a severe performance collapse, with execution accuracy dropping by over 10%. This underscores their lack of robustness. To address this, we propose DIVER, a robust system that automates evidence reasoning with dynamic interactive value linking. It leverages a compatible toolbox containing diverse tools to probe the database. Then, restricted by a structured workspace (CoTF, Chain of Thoughts and Facts), it reflects based on probe results and selects a new tool for next round of probing. Through this automatically iterative process, DIVER identifies schema and value linking missed by existing methods. Based on these accurate linkings, DIVER is able to infer correct usage of SQL functions and formulas and generate high-quality evidence, achieving robust Text-to-SQL without expert assistance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that: 1) The DIVER system significantly enhances the robustness of various Text-to-SQL models, improving performance by up to 10.82% in Execution Accuracy (EX) and 16.09% in Valid Efficiency Score (VES). 2) Our dynamic interactive value linking significantly improves the robustness of existing systems and the accuracy of schema and value linking, especially when confronted with challenges posed by large-scale, dynamic database values.

Single image sensorless adaptive optics using phase-diversified multifocal array

Image-based sensorless adaptive optics is commonly used to improve microscope image quality through aberration compensation. However, its sequential nature leads to repeated sample exposures and a prolonged aberration estimation and correction process. In this work, we used a phase-diversified foci array to enhance the aberration-related information in multi-photon fluorescence microscope images. We showed that, through use of a neural network-based image processing algorithm, we can extract aberration from a single image frame. We discussed how the number of foci can affect the wavefront correction on a bead sample, and we showed that six foci, in general, perform better than two-foci or ten-foci arrangements. We also applied our technique to correct aberrations in biological samples, including a fixed brain tissue and BPAE cells slide.

Chord: Chain of Rendering Decomposition for PBR Material Estimation from Generated Texture Images

Material creation and reconstruction are crucial for appearance modeling but traditionally require significant time and expertise from artists. While recent methods leverage visual foundation models to synthesize PBR materials from user-provided inputs, they often fall short in quality, flexibility, and user control. We propose a novel two-stage generate-and-estimate framework for PBR material generation. In the generation stage, a fine-tuned diffusion model synthesizes shaded, tileable texture images aligned with user input. In the estimation stage, we introduce a chained decomposition scheme that sequentially predicts SVBRDF channels by passing previously extracted representation as input into a single-step image-conditional diffusion model. Our method is efficient, high quality, and enables flexible user control. We evaluate our approach against existing material generation and estimation methods, demonstrating superior performance. Our material estimation method shows strong robustness on both generated textures and in-the-wild photographs. Furthermore, we highlight the flexibility of our framework across diverse applications, including text-to-material, image-to-material, structure-guided generation, and material editing.

The Photochemical Plausibility of Warm Exo-Titans Orbiting M-Dwarf Stars

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has begun to spectrally characterize small exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf stars, but interpretation of these spectra is ambiguous, with stellar, instrumental, or atmospheric origins possible for apparent spectral features. Consequently, interpretation of JWST small exoplanet spectra follows a Bayesian approach, with less theoretically plausible interpretations facing a higher burden of proof. Here, we use photochemical modeling to evaluate the plausibility of warm exo-Titans, exoplanets with N$_2$-CH$_4$ atmospheres analogous to Titan but orbiting closer to their host stars. Consideration of warm exo-Titans is motivated by arguments from planet formation, as well as tentative evidence from observations. Using TRAPPIST-1e as a case study, we show that the higher instellation experienced by warm exo-Titans reduces their CH$_4$ lifetime $\tau_{\text{CH}_{4}}$ relative to true Titan by orders of magnitude, reducing the probability of observing them. We constrain the $\tau_{\text{CH}_{4}}$ on a warm exo-Titan to be $\leq0.1\times$ (and most likely $\leq0.02\times$) true Titan, implying the absolute probability of detecting a warm exo-Titan is $<0.1$ and likely $<0.01$. This finding is consistent with recent JWST nondetections of CH$_4$-dominated atmospheres on warm terrestrial exoplanets. The low prior probability means that the standard of proof required to claim a warm exo-Titan detection is high, and we offer specific suggestions towards such a standard of proof. Observation of oxidized carbon species would corroborate a putative warm exo-Titan detection. Confirmed detection of warm exo-Titans would signal the need to fundamentally rethink our understanding of the structure, dynamics, and photochemistry of Titan-like worlds.

Dual-Stage Safe Herding Framework for Adversarial Attacker in Dynamic Environment

Recent advances in robotics have enabled the widespread deployment of autonomous robotic systems in complex operational environments, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and significant security problems. Traditional shepherding approaches based on fixed formations are often ineffective or risky in urban and obstacle-rich scenarios, especially when facing adversarial agents with unknown and adaptive behaviors. This paper addresses this challenge as an extended herding problem, where defensive robotic systems must safely guide adversarial agents with unknown strategies away from protected areas and into predetermined safe regions, while maintaining collision-free navigation in dynamic environments. We propose a hierarchical hybrid framework based on reach-avoid game theory and local motion planning, incorporating a virtual containment boundary and event-triggered pursuit mechanisms to enable scalable and robust multi-agent coordination. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves safe and efficient guidance of adversarial agents to designated regions.

Artificial Intelligence-derived Cardiotocography Age as a Digital Biomarker for Predicting Future Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes

Cardiotocography (CTG) is a low-cost, non-invasive fetal health assessment technique used globally, especially in underdeveloped countries. However, it is currently mainly used to identify the fetus's current status (e.g., fetal acidosis or hypoxia), and the potential of CTG in predicting future adverse pregnancy outcomes has not been fully explored. We aim to develop an AI-based model that predicts biological age from CTG time series (named CTGage), then calculate the age gap between CTGage and actual age (named CTGage-gap), and use this gap as a new digital biomarker for future adverse pregnancy outcomes. The CTGage model is developed using 61,140 records from 11,385 pregnant women, collected at Peking University People's Hospital between 2018 and 2022. For model training, a structurally designed 1D convolutional neural network is used, incorporating distribution-aligned augmented regression technology. The CTGage-gap is categorized into five groups: < -21 days (underestimation group), -21 to -7 days, -7 to 7 days (normal group), 7 to 21 days, and > 21 days (overestimation group). We further defined the underestimation group and overestimation group together as the high-risk group. We then compare the incidence of adverse outcomes and maternal diseases across these groups. The average absolute error of the CTGage model is 10.91 days. When comparing the overestimation group with the normal group, premature infants incidence is 5.33% vs. 1.42% (p < 0.05) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) incidence is 31.93% vs. 20.86% (p < 0.05). When comparing the underestimation group with the normal group, low birth weight incidence is 0.17% vs. 0.15% (p < 0.05) and anaemia incidence is 37.51% vs. 34.74% (p < 0.05). Artificial intelligence-derived CTGage can predict the future risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and hold potential as a novel, non-invasive, and easily accessible digital biomarker.

Efficient Extreme Operating Condition Search for Online Relay Setting Calculation in Renewable Power Systems Based on Parallel Graph Neural Network

The Extreme Operating Conditions Search (EOCS) problem is one of the key problems in relay setting calculation, which is used to ensure that the setting values of protection relays can adapt to the changing operating conditions of power systems over a period of time after deployment. The high penetration of renewable energy and the wide application of inverter-based resources make the operating conditions of renewable power systems more volatile, which urges the adoption of the online relay setting calculation strategy. However, the computation speed of existing EOCS methods based on local enumeration, heuristic algorithms, and mathematical programming cannot meet the efficiency requirement of online relay setting calculation. To reduce the time overhead, this paper, for the first time, proposes an efficient deep learning-based EOCS method suitable for online relay setting calculation. First, the power system information is formulated as four layers, i.e., a component parameter layer, a topological connection layer, an electrical distance layer, and a graph distance layer, which are fed into a parallel graph neural network (PGNN) model for feature extraction. Then, the four feature layers corresponding to each node are spliced and stretched, and then fed into the decision network to predict the extreme operating condition of the system. Finally, the proposed PGNN method is validated on the modified IEEE 39-bus and 118-bus test systems, where some of the synchronous generators are replaced by renewable generation units. The nonlinear fault characteristics of renewables are fully considered when computing fault currents. The experiment results show that the proposed PGNN method achieves higher accuracy than the existing methods in solving the EOCS problem. Meanwhile, it also provides greater improvements in online computation time.

ChronoSteer: Bridging Large Language Model and Time Series Foundation Model via Synthetic Data

Conventional forecasting methods rely on unimodal time series data, limiting their ability to exploit rich textual information. Recently, large language models (LLMs) and time series foundation models (TSFMs) have demonstrated powerful capability in textual reasoning and temporal modeling, respectively. Integrating the strengths of both to construct a multimodal model that concurrently leverages both temporal and textual information for future inference has emerged as a critical research challenge. To address the scarcity of event-series paired data, we propose a decoupled framework: an LLM is employed to transform textual events into revision instructions, which are then used to steer the output of TSFM. To implement this framework, we introduce ChronoSteer, a multimodal TSFM that can be steered through textual revision instructions, effectively bridging LLM and TSFM. Moreover, to mitigate the shortage of cross-modal instruction-series paired data, we devise a two-stage training strategy based on synthetic data. In addition, we also construct a high-quality multimodal time series forecasting benchmark to address the information leakage concerns during evaluation. After integrating with an LLM, ChronoSteer, which is trained exclusively on synthetic data, achieves a 25.7% improvement in prediction accuracy compared to the unimodal backbone and a 22.5% gain over the previous state-of-the-art multimodal method.
