GhostShell: Streaming LLM Function Calls for Concurrent Embodied Programming

We present GhostShell, a novel approach that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) for streaming and concurrent behavioral programming in embodied systems. In contrast to predefined behavioral structures and plan-then-execute paradigms, GhostShell enables reasoning-while-acting by incrementally invoking functions during LLM streaming generation. We define function tokens as an XML-based function-call representation that GhostShell parses from the LLM generation stream and maps to callable functions. A multi-channel scheduling algorithm further orchestrates these calls with intra-channel synchronous and inter-channel asynchronous dispatch, coordinating sequential-parallel behavior execution across multiple robotic components. We evaluate GhostShell on our robotic prototype CoCo across 33 real-world tasks with LLMs from nine providers. On 30 grounded Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) tasks, our approach achieves the highest Directed Structured Behavior Correctness (DSBC) score of 0.83 with Claude-Sonnet-4, while on three long-horizon multimodal tasks, GPT-4.1 attains a top human evaluation score of 7.0/10. Compared to native LLM function calling, our function token schema achieves a 15/15 task completion rate versus 6/15, particularly in coordinating concurrent linguistic and physical actions.

NaviCache: Test-Time Self-Calibration Caching for Video Generation

Video Diffusion Models (VDMs) is constrained by immense computational costs. While offline calibration-based acceleration suffers from calibration data dependency, prohibitive calibration duration, and susceptibility to distribution shifts, offline calibration-free methods eliminate these hurdles. However, since they rely on instantaneous zero-order approximations where the mapping between input and output differences varies in real-time, they are susceptible to observational noise and ignore the intrinsic momentum within the diffusion trajectory. In this paper, we propose NaviCache, a plug-and-play test-time self-calibration method re-conceptualizing feature evolution as an Inertial Navigation System (INS) problem. NaviCache bridges the fundamental domain gap and the non-stationary nature of diffusion by modeling the relative coupling between input and output variations. We introduce a dual-state estimation architecture that adaptively tracks the feature change ratio and its latent drift, initialized via a specialized Initial Alignment phase. By integrating a time-dependent noise schedule with an uncertainty-aware Measurement Update mechanism, NaviCache provides a theoretically grounded mechanism for error-bounded computation skipping. Extensive experiments on the HunyuanVideo, Wan, and Open-Sora series demonstrate that NaviCache exhibits more accurate error judgment for computation skipping and achieves outstanding comprehensive performance.

EAR-U-Net: EfficientNet and attention-based residual U-Net for automatic liver segmentation in CT

Purpose: This paper proposes a new network framework called EAR-U-Net, which leverages EfficientNetB4, attention gate, and residual learning techniques to achieve automatic and accurate liver segmentation. Methods: The proposed method is based on the U-Net framework. First, we use EfficientNetB4 as the encoder to extract more feature information during the encoding stage. Then, an attention gate is introduced in the skip connection to eliminate irrelevant regions and highlight features of a specific segmentation task. Finally, to alleviate the problem of gradient vanishment, we replace the traditional convolution of the decoder with a residual block to improve the segmentation accuracy. Results: We verified the proposed method on the LiTS17 and SLiver07 datasets and compared it with classical networks such as FCN, U-Net, Attention U-Net, and Attention Res-U-Net. In the Sliver07 evaluation, the proposed method achieved the best segmentation performance on all five standard metrics. Meanwhile, in the LiTS17 assessment, the best performance is obtained except for a slight inferior on RVD. Moreover, we also participated in the MICCIA-LiTS17 challenge, and the Dice per case score was 0.952. Conclusion: The proposed method's qualitative and quantitative results demonstrated its applicability in liver segmentation and proved its good prospect in computer-assisted liver segmentation.

SAR-U-Net: squeeze-and-excitation block and atrous spatial pyramid pooling based residual U-Net for automatic liver segmentation in Computed Tomography

Background and objective: In this paper, a modified U-Net based framework is presented, which leverages techniques from Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) block, Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) and residual learning for accurate and robust liver CT segmentation, and the effectiveness of the proposed method was tested on two public datasets LiTS17 and SLiver07. Methods: A new network architecture called SAR-U-Net was designed. Firstly, the SE block is introduced to adaptively extract image features after each convolution in the U-Net encoder, while suppressing irrelevant regions, and highlighting features of specific segmentation task; Secondly, ASPP was employed to replace the transition layer and the output layer, and acquire multi-scale image information via different receptive fields. Thirdly, to alleviate the degradation problem, the traditional convolution block was replaced with the residual block and thus prompt the network to gain accuracy from considerably increased depth. Results: In the LiTS17 experiment, the mean values of Dice, VOE, RVD, ASD and MSD were 95.71, 9.52, -0.84, 1.54 and 29.14, respectively. Compared with other closely related 2D-based models, the proposed method achieved the highest accuracy. In the experiment of the SLiver07, the mean values of Dice, VOE, RVD, ASD and MSD were 97.31, 5.37, -1.08, 1.85 and 27.45, respectively. Compared with other closely related models, the proposed method achieved the highest segmentation accuracy except for the RVD. Conclusion: The proposed model enables a great improvement on the accuracy compared to 2D-based models, and its robustness in circumvent challenging problems, such as small liver regions, discontinuous liver regions, and fuzzy liver boundaries, is also well demonstrated and validated.
