JSGS: JPEG State-Guided Supervision for 3D Gaussian Splatting from Mixed-Quality Views

Standard 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) assumes that every input image faithfully samples scene radiance. However, mixed-quality JPEG images violate this assumption because compression-induced blocking and ringing artifacts can corrupt updates to Gaussians shared across views. To address this problem, we propose JPEG State-Guided Supervision for 3D Gaussian Splatting from Mixed-Quality Views (JSGS). JSGS uses luminance and chrominance quantization tables stored in each JPEG file to construct a view-specific JPEG observation operator. This operator encodes and decodes each rendered view for domain-matched comparison with the corresponding decoded input image. The luminance quantization table supplies continuous weights within a fixed middle frequency band. A loss in the low frequency band anchors coarse structure, while the weighted middle frequency loss redistributes supervision among the selected DCT coordinates. The resulting block disagreement also guides the Gaussian Controller to regularize small primitives with high opacity in disagreement regions. Across seven scenes and three mixed-quality schedules, JSGS achieves the lowest mean LPIPS and the highest mean SSIM under every schedule while rendering at approximately 150 FPS.

JoyAI-Video-Edit: Real-Time Open-Ended Video Editing with Autoregressive Diffusion

Real-time video editing requires low-latency causal generation with bounded computational resources while preserving source fidelity and long-term temporal consistency. We present JoyAI-Video-Edit, a 16B-parameter autoregressive diffusion framework for real-time, open-ended video editing without access to future frames or a predefined video duration. Our method combines chunk-wise autoregressive adaptation, Source-Anchored Distribution Matching Distillation (SA-DMD), and Long-Horizon Autoregressive Distillation to reduce train--inference mismatch, preserve source fidelity during two-step generation, and mitigate accumulated temporal drift. Extensive automatic and human evaluations show that JoyAI-Video-Edit substantially outperforms existing streaming editors and remains competitive with strong offline systems on both short and long videos. The complete system achieves end-to-end 720p video editing at approximately 30 FPS on a single Nvidia B200 GPU. Code is available at https://github.com/jd-opensource/JoyAI-Video-Edit.

AXIS: A Growable Community-Driven Data Engine for Scalable Robot Manipulation

Learning effective robot manipulation policies requires diverse, high-quality demonstrations, yet existing data pipelines are often difficult to scale because they rely on specialized hardware, centralized operators, or fixed task suites. We present AXIS, a growable community-driven data engine and benchmark for scalable robot learning, which enables browser-based teleoperation for large-scale demonstration collection, automatically generates and validates new manipulation tasks, and transforms community-collected demonstrations into training-ready data through automated success checking, quality filtering, trajectory smoothing, and visual and physics-based augmentation. The AXIS dataset currently contains 207 diverse tasks and 50K+ trajectories. Meanwhile, AXIS organizes data into task snapshots and evaluates policies with a systematic held-out protocol. We compare vision-language-action (VLA) policies under a unified AXIS evaluation suite and analyze scaling behavior across different data volumes. Continual pretraining on AXIS substantially improves the overall success rate of $\pi_{0.5}$ by 5.8%, outperforms the model pretrained on RoboCasa365 by 37.3%, and exhibits consistent scaling with increasing data volume, with the largest gains observed under layout, sensor-noise, and camera perturbations.

Attribute Inference from Interactive Targeted Ads

Targeted advertising systems can pair audiences selected by advertisers with ad units that expose visible user actions. When an interaction remains linked to the campaign that elicited it, the advertiser may receive an observation tied to a user rather than only an aggregate report. We model that channel as a noisy oracle for attribute inference. The model separates targeting predicates, exposure, interaction, and disclosure. These boundaries capture the gap between eligibility and delivery, and the gap between interaction and advertiser visibility. We build a reproducible benchmark using synthetic populations calibrated with public data, each with known sensitive labels. A generated campaign semantics layer provides topic variants and response priors. The simulator generates the ground truth, event traces, disclosed observations, and metrics. The evaluation compares Bayesian, supervised, positive and unlabeled, and adaptive attacks under common campaign and disclosure definitions. The final evaluation uses four topic variants, seven simulator seeds, and two interaction settings. Repeated campaigns with identity exposure produce measurable but bounded inference signal. At $160$ campaigns, Bayesian and supervised attacks reach about $0.64$ AUC in the main setting and about $0.65$ AUC in the higher interaction setting. Disclosure policy is the strongest control. Aggregate reporting removes the evaluated oracle input tied to users. Type filtering and randomized disclosure reduce the released signal. The result is a model, artifact, and defense evaluation method for privacy in interactive targeted advertising. The code is available at https://github.com/P-HOW/Interactive-Ad-Oracle.

Fishbone: From One 3D Asset to a Million Controllable Edits

Large-scale controllable 3D assets are critical for computer graphics, embodied AI, robotics, and interactive content creation, yet creating diverse 3D assets remains challenging due to the high cost of manual modeling and rigging. Shape deformation offers a natural way to generate variations from existing meshes, but existing data-driven methods often rely on sparse user inputs, while parametric editing frameworks require manually designed control structures and category-specific configurations. Inspired by natural creatures, where a central spine governs global shape and cross-sectional ribs control local variation, we introduce Fishbone, a unified rib-spine representation for general shapes that supports controllable parametric mesh deformation, reduced-space dynamics, and animation. Given an input mesh, Fishbone computes a geodesic scalar field with an adaptive heat method, extracts iso-contours as cross-sectional ribs, constructs a smooth geometry-aware spine through rib centers, and associates surface vertices with nearby rib and spine structures using Gaussian-weighted skinning. The resulting representation enables real-time and predictable deformation: ribs control local profiles such as thickness, orientation, and cross-sectional variation, while the spine controls global bending, twisting, and stretching. The same structure also supports reduced-space simulation and keyframe animation. We further construct Fishbone-136K by augmenting Hunyuan3D with rib-spine structures, and demonstrate applications in controllable 3D generation, deformation-based data augmentation for robot learning, interactive mesh editing, and agentic generation. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness, efficiency, and versatility of the proposed framework.

Arbitrage and the Stability of AMM Price Tracking

Automated market makers (AMMs) quote prices from pool state rather than from a limit order book. AMM pools often stay close to a reference price because arbitrageurs correct profitable mispricing. A large part of decentralized finance therefore relies on a simple economic premise: once the AMM price drifts away from the reference price, arbitrage incentives push it back. This paper studies when that premise is strong enough to guarantee block-scale stability. We model the gap between the reference price and the AMM price as a stochastic tracking error, treat arbitrage as the corrective input, and place blockchain execution inside the loop through fees, discrete blocks, transaction ordering, delays, and transaction failure. The detailed execution layer is reduced to the total successful correction confirmed in each block. Under a block-level correction condition, we prove geometric ergodicity of the tracking error and obtain explicit one-step bounds that connect tracking quality to liquidity and execution quality. We also show in a constant-product example how fees, fixed execution costs, and local liquidity map into the no-trade band and the optimal corrective trade. Finally, we build empirical proxies for the theorem quantities from realized block data and use them to organize reduced and mechanism-focused simulations whose comparative statics are consistent with the theory. The contribution is to turn a basic economic intuition behind decentralized finance into a quantitative stability statement together with a tractable calibration interface.

A Blockchain-as-a-Service Solution for TAFES-Compliant Verification of Fair Trade Certifications

\abstract{\textbf{Purpose:} This study addresses the lack of trust in ethical product labels by designing a blockchain platform grounded in the TAFES principles (Transparency, Accountability, Fairness, Ethics, Safety). It aims to bridge the gap between blockchain's theoretical transparency and a responsible, real-world implementation for certification ecosystems. \textbf{Design/Methodology/Approach:} Using Action Design Research, we developed a proof-of-concept platform for label authentication. A hybrid architecture records critical events on an Ethereum Layer-2 network for security, while supporting evidence is stored off-chain via IPFS and linked via content identifiers. The solution was validated through a coffee supply chain scenario. \textbf{Findings:} The proof of concept demonstrates how a TAFES-aligned blockchain platform can support verification of label claims without requiring trust in a single intermediary by creating tamper-evident provenance records and auditable certification evidence across multiple stakeholders. The design supports low-cost, near-real-time anchoring of supply chain events while mitigating adoption barriers related to scalability, privacy, and operational viability. \textbf{Originality/Value:} This research contributes an integrated ethical and technical blueprint for trustworthy label authentication systems by translating TAFES into implementable design requirements and evaluation checks, and validating them through an ADR driven proof of concept. It advances prior work by moving from the question of whether blockchain can help to the question of how it should be implemented responsibly in multi stakeholder certification ecosystems.}

Condition Matters in Full-head 3D GANs

Conditioning is crucial for stable training of full-head 3D GANs. Without any conditioning signal, the model suffers from severe mode collapse, making it impractical to training. However, a series of previous full-head 3D GANs conventionally choose the view angle as the conditioning input, which leads to a bias in the learned 3D full-head space along the conditional view direction. This is evident in the significant differences in generation quality and diversity between the conditional view and non-conditional views of the generated 3D heads, resulting in global incoherence across different head regions. In this work, we propose to use view-invariant semantic feature as the conditioning input, thereby decoupling the generative capability of 3D heads from the viewing direction. To construct a view-invariant semantic condition for each training image, we create a novel synthesized head image dataset. We leverage FLUX.1 Kontext to extend existing high-quality frontal face datasets to a wide range of view angles. The image clip feature extracted from the frontal view is then used as a shared semantic condition across all views in the extended images, ensuring semantic alignment while eliminating directional bias. This also allows supervision from different views of the same subject to be consolidated under a shared semantic condition, which accelerates training and enhances the global coherence of the generated 3D heads. Moreover, as GANs often experience slower improvements in diversity once the generator learns a few modes that successfully fool the discriminator, our semantic conditioning encourages the generator to follow the true semantic distribution, thereby promoting continuous learning and diverse generation. Extensive experiments on full-head synthesis and single-view GAN inversion demonstrate that our method achieves significantly higher fidelity, diversity, and generalizability.

Large Video Planner Enables Generalizable Robot Control

General-purpose robots require decision-making models that generalize across diverse tasks and environments. Recent works build robot foundation models by extending multimodal large language models (MLLMs) with action outputs, creating vision-language-action (VLA) systems. These efforts are motivated by the intuition that MLLMs' large-scale language and image pretraining can be effectively transferred to the action output modality. In this work, we explore an alternative paradigm of using large-scale video pretraining as a primary modality for building robot foundation models. Unlike static images and language, videos capture spatio-temporal sequences of states and actions in the physical world that are naturally aligned with robotic behavior. We curate an internet-scale video dataset of human activities and task demonstrations, and train, for the first time at a foundation-model scale, an open video model for generative robotics planning. The model produces zero-shot video plans for novel scenes and tasks, which we post-process to extract executable robot actions. We evaluate task-level generalization through third-party selected tasks in the wild and real-robot experiments, demonstrating successful physical execution. Together, these results show robust instruction following, strong generalization, and real-world feasibility. We release both the model and dataset to support open, reproducible video-based robot learning. Our website is available at https://www.boyuan.space/large-video-planner/.

ViSA: 3D-Aware Video Shading for Real-Time Upper-Body Avatar Creation

Generating high-fidelity upper-body 3D avatars from one-shot input image remains a significant challenge. Current 3D avatar generation methods, which rely on large reconstruction models, are fast and capable of producing stable body structures, but they often suffer from artifacts such as blurry textures and stiff, unnatural motion. In contrast, generative video models show promising performance by synthesizing photorealistic and dynamic results, but they frequently struggle with unstable behavior, including body structural errors and identity drift. To address these limitations, we propose a novel approach that combines the strengths of both paradigms. Our framework employs a 3D reconstruction model to provide robust structural and appearance priors, which in turn guides a real-time autoregressive video diffusion model for rendering. This process enables the model to synthesize high-frequency, photorealistic details and fluid dynamics in real time, effectively reducing texture blur and motion stiffness while preventing the structural inconsistencies common in video generation methods. By uniting the geometric stability of 3D reconstruction with the generative capabilities of video models, our method produces high-fidelity digital avatars with realistic appearance and dynamic, temporally coherent motion. Experiments demonstrate that our approach significantly reduces artifacts and achieves substantial improvements in visual quality over leading methods, providing a robust and efficient solution for real-time applications such as gaming and virtual reality.

LinkXplore: A Framework for Affordable High-Quality Blockchain Data

Blockchain technologies are rapidly transforming both academia and industry. However, large-scale blockchain data collection remains prohibitively expensive, as many RPC providers only offer enhanced APIs with high pricing tiers that are unsuitable for budget-constrained research or industrial-scale applications, which has significantly slowed down academic studies and product development. Moreover, there is a clear lack of a systematic framework that allows flexible integration of new modules for analyzing on-chain data. To address these challenges, we introduce LinkXplore, the first open framework for collecting and managing on-chain data. LinkXplore enables users to bypass costly blockchain data providers by directly analyzing raw data from RPC queries or streams, thereby offering high-quality blockchain data at a fraction of the cost. Through a simple API and backend processing logic, any type of chain data can be integrated into the framework. This makes it a practical alternative for both researchers and developers with limited budgets. Code and dataset used in this project are publicly available at https://github.com/Linkis-Project/LinkXplore

GAPS: A Clinically Grounded, Automated Benchmark for Evaluating AI Clinicians

Current benchmarks for AI clinician systems, often based on multiple-choice exams or manual rubrics, fail to capture the depth, robustness, and safety required for real-world clinical practice. To address this, we introduce the GAPS framework, a multidimensional paradigm for evaluating Grounding (cognitive depth), Adequacy (answer completeness), Perturbation (robustness), and Safety. Critically, we developed a fully automated, guideline-anchored pipeline to construct a GAPS-aligned benchmark end-to-end, overcoming the scalability and subjectivity limitations of prior work. Our pipeline assembles an evidence neighborhood, creates dual graph and tree representations, and automatically generates questions across G-levels. Rubrics are synthesized by a DeepResearch agent that mimics GRADE-consistent, PICO-driven evidence review in a ReAct loop. Scoring is performed by an ensemble of large language model (LLM) judges. Validation confirmed our automated questions are high-quality and align with clinician judgment (90% agreement, Cohen's Kappa 0.77). Evaluating state-of-the-art models on the benchmark revealed key failure modes: performance degrades sharply with increased reasoning depth (G-axis), models struggle with answer completeness (A-axis), and they are highly vulnerable to adversarial perturbations (P-axis) as well as certain safety issues (S-axis). This automated, clinically-grounded approach provides a reproducible and scalable method for rigorously evaluating AI clinician systems and guiding their development toward safer, more reliable clinical practice. The benchmark dataset GAPS-NSCLC-preview and evaluation code are publicly available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/AQ-MedAI/GAPS-NSCLC-preview and https://github.com/AQ-MedAI/MedicalAiBenchEval.

Harnessing Group-Oriented Consistency Constraints for Semi-Supervised Semantic Segmentation in CdZnTe Semiconductors

Labeling Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe) semiconductor images is challenging due to the low-contrast defect boundaries, necessitating annotators to cross-reference multiple views. These views share a single ground truth (GT), forming a unique ``many-to-one'' relationship. This characteristic renders advanced semi-supervised semantic segmentation (SSS) methods suboptimal, as they are generally limited by a ``one-to-one'' relationship, where each image is independently associated with its GT. Such limitation may lead to error accumulation in low-contrast regions, further exacerbating confirmation bias. To address this issue, we revisit the SSS pipeline from a group-oriented perspective and propose a human-inspired solution: the Intra-group Consistency Augmentation Framework (ICAF). First, we experimentally validate the inherent consistency constraints within CdZnTe groups, establishing a group-oriented baseline using the Intra-group View Sampling (IVS). Building on this insight, we introduce the Pseudo-label Correction Network (PCN) to enhance consistency representation, which consists of two key modules. The View Augmentation Module (VAM) improves boundary details by dynamically synthesizing a boundary-aware view through the aggregation of multiple views. In the View Correction Module (VCM), this synthesized view is paired with other views for information interaction, effectively emphasizing salient regions while minimizing noise. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our solution for CdZnTe materials. Leveraging DeepLabV3+ with a ResNet-101 backbone as our segmentation model, we achieve a 70.6\% mIoU on the CdZnTe dataset using only 2 group-annotated data (5\textperthousand). The code is available at \href{https://github.com/pipixiapipi/ICAF}{https://github.com/pipixiapipi/ICAF}.

LHM++: An Efficient Large Human Reconstruction Model for Pose-free Images to 3D

Reconstructing animatable 3D humans from casually captured images of articulated subjects without camera or pose information is highly practical but remains challenging due to view misalignment, occlusions, and the absence of structural priors. In this work, we present LHM++, an efficient large-scale human reconstruction model that generates high-quality, animatable 3D avatars within seconds from one or multiple pose-free images. At its core is an Encoder-Decoder Point-Image Transformer architecture that progressively encodes and decodes 3D geometric point features to improve efficiency, while fusing hierarchical 3D point features with image features through multimodal attention. The fused features are decoded into 3D Gaussian splats to recover detailed geometry and appearance. To further enhance visual fidelity, we introduce a lightweight 3D-aware neural animation renderer that refines the rendering quality of reconstructed avatars in real time. Extensive experiments show that our method produces high-fidelity, animatable 3D humans without requiring camera or pose annotations.

NOVA3D: Normal Aligned Video Diffusion Model for Single Image to 3D Generation

3D AI-generated content (AIGC) has made it increasingly accessible for anyone to become a 3D content creator. While recent methods leverage Score Distillation Sampling to distill 3D objects from pretrained image diffusion models, they often suffer from inadequate 3D priors, leading to insufficient multi-view consistency. In this work, we introduce NOVA3D, an innovative single-image-to-3D generation framework. Our key insight lies in leveraging strong 3D priors from a pretrained video diffusion model and integrating geometric information during multi-view video fine-tuning. To facilitate information exchange between color and geometric domains, we propose the Geometry-Temporal Alignment (GTA) attention mechanism, thereby improving generalization and multi-view consistency. Moreover, we introduce the de-conflict geometry fusion algorithm, which improves texture fidelity by addressing multi-view inaccuracies and resolving discrepancies in pose alignment. Extensive experiments validate the superiority of NOVA3D over existing baselines.

AlphaOne: Reasoning Models Thinking Slow and Fast at Test Time

This paper presents AlphaOne ($\alpha$1), a universal framework for modulating reasoning progress in large reasoning models (LRMs) at test time. $\alpha$1 first introduces $\alpha$ moment, which represents the scaled thinking phase with a universal parameter $\alpha$. Within this scaled pre-$\alpha$ moment phase, it dynamically schedules slow thinking transitions by modeling the insertion of reasoning transition tokens as a Bernoulli stochastic process. After the $\alpha$ moment, $\alpha$1 deterministically terminates slow thinking with the end-of-thinking token, thereby fostering fast reasoning and efficient answer generation. This approach unifies and generalizes existing monotonic scaling methods by enabling flexible and dense slow-to-fast reasoning modulation. Extensive empirical studies on various challenging benchmarks across mathematical, coding, and scientific domains demonstrate $\alpha$1's superior reasoning capability and efficiency.

RoboVerse: Towards a Unified Platform, Dataset and Benchmark for Scalable and Generalizable Robot Learning

Data scaling and standardized evaluation benchmarks have driven significant advances in natural language processing and computer vision. However, robotics faces unique challenges in scaling data and establishing evaluation protocols. Collecting real-world data is resource-intensive and inefficient, while benchmarking in real-world scenarios remains highly complex. Synthetic data and simulation offer promising alternatives, yet existing efforts often fall short in data quality, diversity, and benchmark standardization. To address these challenges, we introduce RoboVerse, a comprehensive framework comprising a simulation platform, a synthetic dataset, and unified benchmarks. Our simulation platform supports multiple simulators and robotic embodiments, enabling seamless transitions between different environments. The synthetic dataset, featuring high-fidelity physics and photorealistic rendering, is constructed through multiple approaches. Additionally, we propose unified benchmarks for imitation learning and reinforcement learning, enabling evaluation across different levels of generalization. At the core of the simulation platform is MetaSim, an infrastructure that abstracts diverse simulation environments into a universal interface. It restructures existing simulation environments into a simulator-agnostic configuration system, as well as an API aligning different simulator functionalities, such as launching simulation environments, loading assets with initial states, stepping the physics engine, etc. This abstraction ensures interoperability and extensibility. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that RoboVerse enhances the performance of imitation learning, reinforcement learning, world model learning, and sim-to-real transfer. These results validate the reliability of our dataset and benchmarks, establishing RoboVerse as a robust solution for advancing robot learning.

LHM: Large Animatable Human Reconstruction Model from a Single Image in Seconds

Animatable 3D human reconstruction from a single image is a challenging problem due to the ambiguity in decoupling geometry, appearance, and deformation. Recent advances in 3D human reconstruction mainly focus on static human modeling, and the reliance of using synthetic 3D scans for training limits their generalization ability. Conversely, optimization-based video methods achieve higher fidelity but demand controlled capture conditions and computationally intensive refinement processes. Motivated by the emergence of large reconstruction models for efficient static reconstruction, we propose LHM (Large Animatable Human Reconstruction Model) to infer high-fidelity avatars represented as 3D Gaussian splatting in a feed-forward pass. Our model leverages a multimodal transformer architecture to effectively encode the human body positional features and image features with attention mechanism, enabling detailed preservation of clothing geometry and texture. To further boost the face identity preservation and fine detail recovery, we propose a head feature pyramid encoding scheme to aggregate multi-scale features of the head regions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our LHM generates plausible animatable human in seconds without post-processing for face and hands, outperforming existing methods in both reconstruction accuracy and generalization ability.
