CWF: A Collaborative Writing Framework for Personalized and Reliable Popular Science Writing

We introduce Personalized and Reliable Popular Science Writing, a novel task that requires adapting scientific explanations to audiences with different cognitive levels while preserving factual accuracy. However, improving personalization often introduces simplifications that increase the risk of hallucination and factual distortion. To address these challenges, we first construct a dataset of 39,134 entries and a reader-centric Personalized Science Communication Benchmark (PSCB) that jointly evaluates audience adaptation and factual accuracy. To reduce data and computational requirements while improving generalization across domains and audiences, we introduce DA-MoE, which explicitly decouples audience adaptation from domain knowledge through separate modeling. To enable robust verification and revision in evidence-scarce scenarios, a multi-agent fact-checking mechanism that augments limited evidence with role-specific agent debate and propagates confidence over a graph is proposed. Experiments on PSCB show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance. Our code is open-sourced at https://github.com/DPInnovationWorks/CWF.

Learning Latent Transmission and Glare Maps for Lens Veiling Glare Removal

Beyond the commonly recognized optical aberrations, the imaging performance of simplified optical systems--including single-lens and metalens designs--is often further degraded by veiling glare caused by stray-light scattering from non-ideal optical surfaces and coatings, particularly in complex real-world environments. This compound degradation undermines traditional lens aberration correction yet remains underexplored. A major challenge is that conventional scattering models (e.g., for dehazing) fail to fit veiling glare due to its spatial-varying and depth-independent nature. Consequently, paired high-quality data are difficult to prepare via simulation, hindering application of data-driven veiling glare removal models. To this end, we propose VeilGen, a generative model that learns to simulate veiling glare by estimating its underlying optical transmission and glare maps in an unsupervised manner from target images, regularized by Stable Diffusion (SD)-based priors. VeilGen enables paired dataset generation with realistic compound degradation of optical aberrations and veiling glare, while also providing the estimated latent optical transmission and glare maps to guide the veiling glare removal process. We further introduce DeVeiler, a restoration network trained with a reversibility constraint, which utilizes the predicted latent maps to guide an inverse process of the learned scattering model. Extensive experiments on challenging simplified optical systems demonstrate that our approach delivers superior restoration quality and physical fidelity compared with existing methods. These suggest that VeilGen reliably synthesizes realistic veiling glare, and its learned latent maps effectively guide the restoration process in DeVeiler. All code and datasets will be publicly released at https://github.com/XiaolongQian/DeVeiler.
