GeoJeV: Unified Spatial Probability for Training-Free Efficient Evidence Acquisition in Ultra-High-Resolution Remote Sensing

Ultra-high-resolution (UHR) remote sensing imagery provides rich spatial details but poses challenges for accurate and efficient multimodal understanding. Existing evidence acquisition methods selectively explore relevant image regions, yet largely rely on generative multimodal large language models (MLLMs) for intermediate search control. However, reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) primarily aligns these models with human-preferred responses rather than explicitly optimizing region-level relevance judgments, while repeated autoregressive decoding introduces additional computational overhead. To address these limitations, we propose GeoJeV, a training-free method that formulates evidence acquisition as spatial probability-driven decision making. At each evaluated region, a frozen JeV model produces a probability distribution over candidate regions. Specifically, Region Rank prioritizes candidate regions, Sparse Branch adaptively determines branching width through sparse probability support, and Depth Gate controls refinement depth based on branch sparsity and distribution concentration. By coordinating search priority, branching width, and refinement depth through a shared distribution, GeoJeV reduces reliance on RLHF-aligned generation and eliminates intermediate decoding. Experiments on LRS-GRO, MME-RealWorld-RS, and LRS-VQA achieve accuracies of 60.59%, 52.79%, and 34.32%, respectively. Across the three benchmarks, GeoJeV improves the average accuracy of Qwen3-VL-8B by +5.32pp with only 1.12 additional seconds per question, while achieving a 7.8-fold inference speedup over the recent method.

Extrapolating learned dynamics across bifurcations based on generalized synchronization

Predicting dynamics across bifurcations by extrapolating trained models is crucial in diverse fields of physics. Generalized synchronization provides a framework for understanding dynamical reconstruction by neural networks, especially in the context of reservoir computing. Building on this framework, we derive a formula combining pretrained readouts to reconstruct unseen chaotic dynamics. Using classical Lagrange interpolation theory, we derive rigorous bounds on readout errors and conjugacy residuals. Numerical examples demonstrate accurate prediction of chaotic dynamics across bifurcations.

Directed Symbolic Execution for Vulnerability Discovery: An LLM-Guided Approach in KLEE

Symbolic execution effectively discovers security violations but suffers from path explosion. Engines like KLEE therefore use path prioritization heuristics to order state exploration, typically optimizing code coverage. However, path prioritization can become trapped in cyclic control-flow regions, where repeated branching consumes the exploration budget before exploration reaches vulnerable code beyond these cyclic regions. We propose KLEECopilot, a Large Language Model (LLM)-guided directed symbolic execution approach built on KLEE. KLEECopilot uses LLMs to mark potentially vulnerable code and guide path prioritization. It also integrates loop-exit prioritization to escape potentially non-vulnerable cycles and progress toward deeper vulnerabilities. Compared with baselines such as Empc, KLEECopilot improves basic block coverage by 42.24% and line coverage by 125.82%. It discovers 1,335 total violations and 87 unique violations, outperforming the second-best baseline by 32.2% in total violations and Empc by 24.3% in unique violations. Although KLEECopilot is sensitive to model family, it exhibits only marginal sensitivity to model scale, supporting the efficacy of integrating security semantics and loop-exit prioritization. Ablation studies further show that individual components contribute to effectiveness: alternative configurations involving searchers, internal components, marking sources, and prompt variants yield only 54--61 unique violations, while KLEECopilot maintains competitive code coverage.

A Counterfactual Graph Approach to Oppositional Narrative Analysis

Distinguishing legitimate critical speech from coordinated conspiracy narratives is a pressing challenge for the integrity of the online information ecosystem, yet prevailing approaches rely on labeled entity roles and rigid predefined schemas that fail to capture the diffuse and context-dependent nature of participation in such narratives. We propose a modular framework that extracts an entity-interaction graph directly from narratives and reasons over it for classification, without depending on annotated node-level labels. Our pipeline enumerates candidate entity spans from a domain-adapted BERT encoder and learns a bipartite graph structure, which is then classified with a Heterogeneous Graph Transformer. To make predictions interpretable, we cast the graph as a hypergraph and apply a counterfactual distillation procedure that estimates the Individual Treatment Effect of each node, pruning extraneous entities to recover a minimal predictive subgraph. On the standard PAN Oppositional Narratives benchmark, our model achieves a macro F1-score of 0.93 and an MCC of 0.84, reaching state-of-the-art performance with roughly one-third of the parameters of the next best system, while pruning the graphs by 75.2% on average without altering predictions. Our results demonstrate that graph-based representations coupled with counterfactual inference offer both strong predictive accuracy and transparency into the entities driving conspiratorial discourse.

Teaching large language models to see in radar: aspect-distributed prototypes for few-shot HRRP ATR

High-resolution range profiles (HRRPs) play a critical role in automatic target recognition (ATR) due to their richinformationregarding target scattering centers (SCs), which encapsulate the geometric and electromagnetic characteristics of thetarget.Under few-shot circumstances, traditional learning-based methods often suffer from overfitting and struggle togeneralizeeffectively. The recently proposed HRRPLLM, which leverages the in-context learning (ICL) capabilities of largelanguagemodels (LLMs) for one-shot HRRP ATR, is limited in few-shot scenarios. This limitation arises because it primarilyutilizesthe distribution of SCs for recognition while neglecting the variance of the samples caused by aspect sensitivity. Thispaperproposes a straightforward yet effective Aspect-Distributed Prototype (ADP) strategy for LLM-based ATRunder few-shotconditions to enhance aspect robustness. Experiments conducted on both simulated and measured aircraft electromagneticdatasets demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms current benchmarks.

More Code, Less Reuse: Investigating Code Quality and Reviewer Sentiment towards AI-generated Pull Requests

Large Language Model (LLM) Agents are advancing quickly, with the increasing leveraging of LLM Agents to assist in development tasks such as code generation. While LLM Agents accelerate code generation, studies indicate they may introduce adverse effects on development. However, existing metrics solely measure pass rates, failing to reflect impacts on long-term maintainability and readability, and failing to capture human intuitive evaluations of PR. To increase the comprehensiveness of this problem, we investigate and evaluate the characteristics of LLM to know the pull requests' characteristics beyond the pass rate. We observe the code quality and maintainability within PRs based on code metrics to evaluate objective characteristics and developers' reactions to the pull requests from both humans and LLM's generation. Evaluation results indicate that LLM Agents frequently disregard code reuse opportunities, resulting in higher levels of redundancy compared to human developers. In contrast to the quality issues, our emotions analysis reveals that reviewers tend to express more neutral or positive emotions towards AI-generated contributions than human ones. This disconnect suggests that the surface-level plausibility of AI code masks redundancy, leading to the silent accumulation of technical debt in real-world development environments. Our research provides insights for improving human-AI collaboration.

Noise-Robustness Through Noise: A Framework combining Asymmetric LoRA with Poisoning MoE

Current parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods for adapting pre-trained language models to downstream tasks are susceptible to interference from noisy data. Conventional noise-handling approaches either rely on laborious data pre-processing or employ model architecture modifications prone to error accumulation. In contrast to existing noise-process paradigms, we propose a noise-robust adaptation method via asymmetric LoRA poisoning experts (LoPE), a novel framework that enhances model robustness to noise only with generated noisy data. Drawing inspiration from the mixture-of-experts architecture, LoPE strategically integrates a dedicated poisoning expert in an asymmetric LoRA configuration. Through a two-stage paradigm, LoPE performs noise injection on the poisoning expert during fine-tuning to enhance its noise discrimination and processing ability. During inference, we selectively mask the dedicated poisoning expert to leverage purified knowledge acquired by normal experts for noise-robust output. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LoPE achieves strong performance and robustness purely through the low-cost noise injection, which completely eliminates the requirement of data cleaning.

Large Language Models Can Achieve Explainable and Training-Free One-shot HRRP ATR

This letter introduces a pioneering, training-free and explainable framework for High-Resolution Range Profile (HRRP) automatic target recognition (ATR) utilizing large-scale pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs). Diverging from conventional methods requiring extensive task-specific training or fine-tuning, our approach converts one-dimensional HRRP signals into textual scattering center representations. Prompts are designed to align LLMs' semantic space for ATR via few-shot in-context learning, effectively leveraging its vast pre-existing knowledge without any parameter update. We make our codes publicly available to foster research into LLMs for HRRP ATR.

Few-shot Human Motion Recognition through Multi-Aspect mmWave FMCW Radar Data

Radar human motion recognition methods based on deep learning models has been a heated spot of remote sensing in recent years, yet the existing methods are mostly radial-oriented. In practical application, the test data could be multi-aspect and the sample number of each motion could be very limited, causing model overfitting and reduced recognition accuracy. This paper proposed channel-DN4, a multi-aspect few-shot human motion recognition method. First, local descriptors are introduced for a precise classification metric. Moreover, episodic training strategy was adopted to reduce model overfitting. To utilize the invariant sematic information in multi-aspect conditions, we considered channel attention after the embedding network to obtain precise implicit high-dimensional representation of sematic information. We tested the performance of channel-DN4 and methods for comparison on measured mmWave FMCW radar data. The proposed channel-DN4 produced competitive and convincing results, reaching the highest 87.533% recognition accuracy in 3-way 10-shot condition while other methods suffer from overfitting.

HRRPGraphNet: Make HRRPs to Be Graphs for Efficient Target Recognition

High Resolution Range Profiles (HRRP) have become a key area of focus in the domain of Radar Automatic Target Recognition (RATR). Despite the success of deep learning based HRRP recognition, these methods needs a large amount of training samples to generate good performance, which could be a severe challenge under non-cooperative circumstances. Currently, deep learning based models treat HRRP as sequences, which may lead to ignorance of the internal relationship of range cells. This letter introduces HRRPGraphNet, whose pivotal innovation is the transformation of HRRP data into a novel graph structure, utilizing a range cell amplitude(hyphen)based node vector and a range(hyphen)relative adjacency matrix. This graph(hyphen)based approach facilitates both local feature extraction via one(hyphen)dimensional convolution layers, global feature extraction through a graph convolution layer and a attention module. Experiments on the aircraft electromagnetic simulation dataset confirmed HRRPGraphNet superior accuracy and robustness, particularly in limited training sample environments, underscoring the potential of graph(hyphen)driven innovations in HRRP(hyphen)based RATR.

A Deep Learning-Based Target Radial Length Estimation Method through HRRP Sequence

This paper introduces an innovative deep learning-based method for end-to-end target radial length estimation from HRRP (High Resolution Range Profile) sequences. Firstly, the HRRP sequences are normalized and transformed into GAF (Gram Angular Field) images to effectively capture and utilize the temporal information. Subsequently, these GAF images serve as the input for a pretrained ResNet-101 model, which is then fine-tuned for target radial length estimation. The simulation results show that compared to traditional threshold method and simple networks e.g. one-dimensional CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), the proposed method demonstrates superior noise resistance and higher accuracy under low SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) conditions.
