The ISCSLP 2026 Real-World Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement Challenge

Audio-visual speech enhancement (AVSE) uses visual-speech cues from a target speaker to recover that speaker's speech from noisy or overlapping speech. Many widely used protocols construct mixed signals from separately recorded audio sources and assume reliable video, leaving their performance under natural overlap and visual failure insufficiently characterized. The Real-World AVSE Challenge evaluates two related settings. Track~1 comprises two scenarios: real-world mixtures recorded with two speakers speaking simultaneously, without a corresponding clean reference signal, and synthetic remixes obtained by manually mixing the separately recorded speech of two speakers, with a clean reference signal available; Track~2 reuses audio but pairs it with a degraded target video and contains additional 3-m far-field recordings. The speakers in the development and test sets are disjoint. Evaluation metrics include clean-waveform fidelity, learned quality estimates, transcription accuracy, and speaker identification. In the remix task on the development set, the baseline model achieved an SI-SDR of $-4.069$~dB and an STOI of $0.388$ on Track~1, and an SI-SDR of $-2.851$~dB and an STOI of $0.470$ on Track~2. We release the AV-ConvTasNet checkpoints, the offline evaluator, and the official baseline results on the development and test sets.

Identity-Faithful Audio-Visual Target Speaker Extraction with REAL-2MIX and VOXBLINK2-AVSE

Audio-visual target speaker extraction should return the speaker indicated by the video, yet a separator can ignore the visual cue and repeatedly output the acoustically dominant voice. We introduce REAL-2MIX, a Mandarin AV-TSE benchmark of jointly recorded real two-speaker mixtures with synchronized multi-view video. Each scene also contains preceding A-only and B-only stages that provide in-scene speaker references. It contains 77 scenes and 7,598 clips (11.84 hours), including 6,042 dual-annotated mixtures. After processing there leave 6,038 evaluable mixtures and 12,076 target-speaker rows. We additionally curate VOXBLINK2-AVSE from VoxBlink2, comprising 250,828 synchronized audio--lip-ROI pairs from 28,421 identities and 766.17 hours of speech. Our extractor uses frozen, 1,280-dimensional projected AV-HuBERT features, target-conditioned training, and layer-wise feature modulation. We jointly evaluate content with Qwen3-ASR-1.7B CER and target identity with WeSpeaker ResNet34 plus Overlapped Speech Detection (OSD). On the complete manifest, the best archived checkpoint obtains 0.2261 CER, 82.22% strict output correctness, and 69.53% both-output strict success.

GLM-5 Serving Parameter Tuning for OpenClaw: Single-Deployment MaaS Inference Optimization for Long-Context Agent Workloads

OpenClaw requests are dominated by long, tool-augmented prefixes, including system prompts, conversation history, and tool outputs fed back into the context window. For this workload, with about 28k-30k input tokens and 500 output tokens per request, serving quality is governed by throughput, TTFT, and tail latency rather than short-prompt throughput alone. This report studies GLM-5 serving-parameter tuning within a MaaS multi-model inference optimization architecture. The scope is the Single-Node Optimization block of the inference-optimization layer, where chunked prefill, tensor parallelism (TP), pipeline parallelism (PP), and request concurrency are tuned for one GLM-5 serving deployment; in this report, "Single-Node Optimization" denotes the architecture block, while experiments run on a two-node, sixteen-GPU cluster. Within the tested space, the best configuration is chunked-prefill-size=3072, tp=4, pp-size=4, and max-running-requests=24. Compared with the conservative 2048/4/4/16 baseline, it increases request throughput from 0.43 to 0.48 req/s and total token throughput from 9029.64 to 9993.23 tok/s, while reducing average TTFT from 8.98 to 6.69 s and latency P90 from 40.23 to 32.64 s. Under the same hardware footprint, this corresponds to an estimated 10.4% lower serving cost per request and 9.6% lower cost per token. The results show that the optimum is workload-specific: larger chunk sizes and deeper queueing do not monotonically improve performance. We therefore recommend 3072 / tp4 / pp4 / max24 as the default OpenClaw deployment profile.

Robust Audio-Visual Target Speaker Extraction with Emotion-Aware Multiple Enrollment Fusion

Audio-Visual Target Speaker Extraction (AVTSE) is crucial for cocktail party scenarios. Leveraging multiple cues --such as utterance-level speaker embeddings or steady face images, and frame-level lip motion or facial expression features --can significantly improve performance. However, real-world applications often suffer from intermittent signal loss, especially for frame-level cues. This paper systematically investigates the robustness of multi-enrollment fusion under varying degrees of modality missing. Results show that while full multimodal fusion excels under ideal conditions, its performance degrades sharply when encountering unseen modalities missing during the testing. Crucially, training with a high missing rate dramatically enhances robustness, maintaining stable performance even under severe test-time modality missing. We demonstrate that fusing the complementary one frame of face image with frame-level lip features achieves both strong performance and robustness for the AVTSE task. The model and codes are shared.

Multi-View Based Audio Visual Target Speaker Extraction

Audio-Visual Target Speaker Extraction (AVTSE) aims to separate a target speaker's voice from a mixed audio signal using the corresponding visual cues. While most existing AVTSE methods rely exclusively on frontal-view videos, this limitation restricts their robustness in real-world scenarios where non-frontal views are prevalent. Such visual perspectives often contain complementary articulatory information that could enhance speech extraction. In this work, we propose Multi-View Tensor Fusion (MVTF), a novel framework that transforms multi-view learning into single-view performance gains. During the training stage, we leverage synchronized multi-perspective lip videos to learn cross-view correlations through MVTF, where pairwise outer products explicitly model multiplicative interactions between different views of input lip embeddings. At the inference stage, the system supports both single-view and multi-view inputs. Experimental results show that in the single-view inputs, our framework leverages multi-view knowledge to achieve significant performance gains, while in the multi-view mode, it further improves overall performance and enhances the robustness. Our demo, code and data are available at https://anonymous.4open.science/w/MVTF-Gridnet-209C/

xLLM Technical Report

We introduce xLLM, an intelligent and efficient Large Language Model (LLM) inference framework designed for high-performance, large-scale enterprise-grade serving, with deep optimizations for diverse AI accelerators. To address these challenges, xLLM builds a novel decoupled service-engine architecture. At the service layer, xLLM-Service features an intelligent scheduling module that efficiently processes multimodal requests and co-locates online and offline tasks through unified elastic scheduling to maximize cluster utilization. This module also relies on a workload-adaptive dynamic Prefill-Decode (PD) disaggregation policy and a novel Encode-Prefill-Decode (EPD) disaggregation policy designed for multimodal inputs. Furthermore, it incorporates a distributed architecture to provide global KV Cache management and robust fault-tolerant capabilities for high availability. At the engine layer, xLLM-Engine co-optimizes system and algorithm designs to fully saturate computing resources. This is achieved through comprehensive multi-layer execution pipeline optimizations, an adaptive graph mode and an xTensor memory management. xLLM-Engine also further integrates algorithmic enhancements such as optimized speculative decoding and dynamic EPLB, collectively serving to substantially boost throughput and inference efficiency. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that xLLM delivers significantly superior performance and resource efficiency. Under identical TPOT constraints, xLLM achieves throughput up to 1.7x that of MindIE and 2.2x that of vLLM-Ascend with Qwen-series models, while maintaining an average throughput of 1.7x that of MindIE with Deepseek-series models. xLLM framework is publicly available at https://github.com/jd-opensource/xllm and https://github.com/jd-opensource/xllm-service.

OxygenREC: An Instruction-Following Generative Framework for E-commerce Recommendation

Traditional recommendation systems suffer from inconsistency in multi-stage optimization objectives. Generative Recommendation (GR) mitigates them through an end-to-end framework; however, existing methods still rely on matching mechanisms based on inductive patterns. Although responsive, they lack the ability to uncover complex user intents that require deductive reasoning based on world knowledge. Meanwhile, LLMs show strong deep reasoning capabilities, but their latency and computational costs remain challenging for industrial applications. More critically, there are performance bottlenecks in multi-scenario scalability: as shown in Figure 1, existing solutions require independent training and deployment for each scenario, leading to low resource utilization and high maintenance costs-a challenge unaddressed in GR literature. To address these, we present OxygenREC, an industrial recommendation system that leverages Fast-Slow Thinking to deliver deep reasoning with strict latency and multi-scenario requirements of real-world environments. First, we adopt a Fast-Slow Thinking architecture. Slow thinking uses a near-line LLM pipeline to synthesize Contextual Reasoning Instructions, while fast thinking employs a high-efficiency encoder-decoder backbone for real-time generation. Second, to ensure reasoning instructions effectively enhance recommendation generation, we introduce a semantic alignment mechanism with Instruction-Guided Retrieval (IGR) to filter intent-relevant historical behaviors and use a Query-to-Item (Q2I) loss for instruction-item consistency. Finally, to resolve multi-scenario scalability, we transform scenario information into controllable instructions, using unified reward mapping and Soft Adaptive Group Clip Policy Optimization (SA-GCPO) to align policies with diverse business objectives, realizing a train-once-deploy-everywhere paradigm.

xGR: Efficient Generative Recommendation Serving at Scale

Recommendation system delivers substantial economic benefits by providing personalized predictions. Generative recommendation (GR) integrates LLMs to enhance the understanding of long user-item sequences. Despite employing attention-based architectures, GR's workload differs markedly from that of LLM serving. GR typically processes long prompt while producing short, fixed-length outputs, yet the computational cost of each decode phase is especially high due to the large beam width. Furthermore, since the beam search involves a vast item space, the sorting overhead becomes particularly time-consuming. We propose xGR, a GR-oriented serving system that meets strict low-latency requirements under high-concurrency scenarios. First, xGR unifies the processing of prefill and decode phases through staged computation and separated KV cache. Second, xGR enables early sorting termination and mask-based item filtering with data structure reuse. Third, xGR reconstructs the overall pipeline to exploit multi-level overlap and multi-stream parallelism. The experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that xGR achieves at least 2.89x throughput compared to the state-of-the-art baseline under strict latency constraints.

Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement In Complex Scenarios With Separation And Dereverberation Joint Modeling

Audio-visual speech enhancement (AVSE) is a task that uses visual auxiliary information to extract a target speaker's speech from mixed audio. In real-world scenarios, there often exist complex acoustic environments, accompanied by various interfering sounds and reverberation. Most previous methods struggle to cope with such complex conditions, resulting in poor perceptual quality of the extracted speech. In this paper, we propose an effective AVSE system that performs well in complex acoustic environments. Specifically, we design a "separation before dereverberation" pipeline that can be extended to other AVSE networks. The 4th COGMHEAR Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement Challenge (AVSEC) aims to explore new approaches to speech processing in multimodal complex environments. We validated the performance of our system in AVSEC-4: we achieved excellent results in the three objective metrics on the competition leaderboard, and ultimately secured first place in the human subjective listening test.

Quantifying the Capability Boundary of DeepSeek Models: An Application-Driven Performance Analysis

DeepSeek-R1, known for its low training cost and exceptional reasoning capabilities, has achieved state-of-the-art performance on various benchmarks. However, detailed evaluations for DeepSeek Series models from the perspective of real-world applications are lacking, making it challenging for users to select the most suitable DeepSeek models for their specific needs. To address this gap, we presents the first comprehensive evaluation of the DeepSeek and its related models (including DeepSeek-V3, DeepSeek-R1, DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen series, DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama series, their corresponding 4-bit quantized models, and the reasoning model QwQ-32B) using our enhanced A-Eval benchmark, A-Eval-2.0. Our systematic analysis reveals several key insights: (1) Given identical model architectures and training data, larger parameter models demonstrate superior performance, aligning with the scaling law. However, smaller models may achieve enhanced capabilities when employing optimized training strategies and higher-quality data; (2) Reasoning-enhanced model show significant performance gains in logical reasoning tasks but may underperform in text understanding and generation tasks; (3) As the data difficulty increases, distillation or reasoning enhancements yield higher performance gains for the models. Interestingly, reasoning enhancements can even have a negative impact on simpler problems; (4) Quantization impacts different capabilities unevenly, with significant drop on logical reasoning and minimal impact on text generation. Based on these results and findings, we design an model selection handbook enabling users to select the most cost-effective models without efforts.

Safety Evaluation of DeepSeek Models in Chinese Contexts

Recently, the DeepSeek series of models, leveraging their exceptional reasoning capabilities and open-source strategy, is reshaping the global AI landscape. Despite these advantages, they exhibit significant safety deficiencies. Research conducted by Robust Intelligence, a subsidiary of Cisco, in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, revealed that DeepSeek-R1 has a 100\% attack success rate when processing harmful prompts. Additionally, multiple safety companies and research institutions have confirmed critical safety vulnerabilities in this model. As models demonstrating robust performance in Chinese and English, DeepSeek models require equally crucial safety assessments in both language contexts. However, current research has predominantly focused on safety evaluations in English environments, leaving a gap in comprehensive assessments of their safety performance in Chinese contexts. In response to this gap, this study introduces CHiSafetyBench, a Chinese-specific safety evaluation benchmark. This benchmark systematically evaluates the safety of DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeek-V3 in Chinese contexts, revealing their performance across safety categories. The experimental results quantify the deficiencies of these two models in Chinese contexts, providing key insights for subsequent improvements. It should be noted that, despite our efforts to establish a comprehensive, objective, and authoritative evaluation benchmark, the selection of test samples, characteristics of data distribution, and the setting of evaluation criteria may inevitably introduce certain biases into the evaluation results. We will continuously optimize the evaluation benchmark and periodically update this report to provide more comprehensive and accurate assessment outcomes. Please refer to the latest version of the paper for the most recent evaluation results and conclusions.

Ferroelastic twin wall mediated ferro-flexoelectricity and bulk photovoltaic effect in SrTiO$_3$

Ferroelastic twin walls in nonpolar materials can give rise to a spontaneous polarization due to symmetry breaking. Nevertheless, the bi-stable polarity of twin walls and its reversal have not yet been demonstrated. Here, we report that the polarity of SrTiO$_3$ twin walls can be switched by ultra-low strain gradient. Using first-principles-based machine-learning potential, we demonstrate that the twin walls can be deterministically rotated and realigned in specific directions under strain gradient, which breaks the inversion symmetry of a sequence of walls and leads to a macroscopic polarization. The system can maintain polarity even after the strain gradient is removed. As a result, the polarization of twin walls can exhibit ferroelectric-like hysteresis loop upon cyclic bending, namely ferro-flexoelectricity. Finally, we propose a scheme to experimentally detect the polarity of twin wall by measuring the bulk photovoltaic responses. Our findings suggest a twin-wall-mediated ferro-flexoelectricity in SrTiO$_3$, which could be potentially exploited as functional elements in nano-electronic devices design.

Large-scale atomistic simulation of dislocation core structure in face-centered cubic metal with Deep Potential method

The core structure of dislocations is critical to their mobility, cross slip, and other plastic behaviors. Atomistic simulation of the core structure is limited by the size of first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculation and the accuracy of classical molecular dynamics with empirical interatomic potentials. Here, we utilize a Deep Potential (DP) method learned from DFT calculations to investigate the dislocations of face-centered cubic copper on a large scale and obtain their core structures and energies. The validity of the DP description of the core structure and elastic strain from dislocation is confirmed by a fully discrete Peierls model. Moreover, the DP method can be further extended easily to dislocations with defects such as surface or vacancy, and our study will pave a way in the large-scale atomistic simulation of dislocation on the DFT level.
