One Policy, Many Embodiments: Unified Camera-Centric Action Geometry Pre-training for Heterogeneous Embodied Manipulation

Scaling generalist vision-language-action (VLA) policies is severely bottlenecked by the inherent heterogeneity of embodied data, which spans diverse robot morphologies, camera configurations, and low-level action spaces. Existing paradigms typically address this mismatch through explicit action retargeting, human-to-robot video synthesis, or dataset-specific adaptation branches, fundamentally hindering the joint learning of a unified policy. We introduce UCAG-P, a camera-centric unified action formulation that structurally aligns heterogeneous embodied datasets into a shared geometric action space. Rather than treating robot-specific commands as the shared policy target, UCAG-P represents manipulation through camera-observable anchor motion in image and camera-frame coordinates, treating robot arms, humanoids, and human hands as different embodiments of a common action schema. A geometry-conditioned action translator combines predicted motion with target-embodiment kinematics to produce executable controls. The resulting decoupled architecture allows a shared VLA policy to learn transferable manipulation geometry while retaining embodiment-specific controllability. UCAG-P is trained on 4.03K hours of robot and simulation data and 2.34K hours of human demonstrations. A single checkpoint reaches 98.3% on LIBERO, 88.7% and 89.2% on RoboTwin Easy and Hard, 82.0% zero-shot on LIBERO-Plus, and 62.0% on RoboCasa GR-1, without benchmark-specific fine-tuning.

LayerTracer: A Joint Task-Particle and Vulnerable-Layer Analysis framework for Arbitrary Large Language Model Architectures

Currently, Large Language Models (LLMs) feature a diversified architectural landscape, including traditional Transformer, GateDeltaNet, and Mamba. However, the evolutionary laws of hierarchical representations, task knowledge formation positions, and network robustness bottleneck mechanisms in various LLM architectures remain unclear, posing core challenges for hybrid architecture design and model optimization. This paper proposes LayerTracer, an architecture-agnostic end-to-end analysis framework compatible with any LLM architecture. By extracting hidden states layer-by-layer and mapping them to vocabulary probability distributions, it achieves joint analysis of task particle localization and layer vulnerability quantification. We define the task particle as the key layer where the target token probability first rises significantly, representing the model's task execution starting point, and the vulnerable layer is defined as the layer with the maximum Jensen-Shannon (JS) divergence between output distributions before and after mask perturbation, reflecting its sensitivity to disturbances. Experiments on models of different parameter scales show that task particles mainly appear in the deep layers of the model regardless of parameter size, while larger-parameter models exhibit stronger hierarchical robustness. LayerTracer provides a scientific basis for layer division, module ratio, and gating switching of hybrid architectures, effectively optimizing model performance. It accurately locates task-effective layers and stability bottlenecks, offering universal support for LLM structure design and interpretability research.

PromptMoE: Generalizable Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection via Visually-Guided Prompt Mixtures

Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection (ZSAD) aims to identify and localize anomalous regions in images of unseen object classes. While recent methods based on vision-language models like CLIP show promise, their performance is constrained by existing prompt engineering strategies. Current approaches, whether relying on single fixed, learnable, or dense dynamic prompts, suffer from a representational bottleneck and are prone to overfitting on auxiliary data, failing to generalize to the complexity and diversity of unseen anomalies. To overcome these limitations, we propose $\mathtt{PromptMoE}$. Our core insight is that robust ZSAD requires a compositional approach to prompt learning. Instead of learning monolithic prompts, $\mathtt{PromptMoE}$ learns a pool of expert prompts, which serve as a basis set of composable semantic primitives, and a visually-guided Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) mechanism to dynamically combine them for each instance. Our framework materializes this concept through a Visually-Guided Mixture of Prompt (VGMoP) that employs an image-gated sparse MoE to aggregate diverse normal and abnormal expert state prompts, generating semantically rich textual representations with strong generalization. Extensive experiments across 15 datasets in industrial and medical domains demonstrate the effectiveness and state-of-the-art performance of $\mathtt{PromptMoE}$.

MCI-GRU: Stock Prediction Model Based on Multi-Head Cross-Attention and Improved GRU

As financial markets grow increasingly complex in the big data era, accurate stock prediction has become more critical. Traditional time series models, such as GRUs, have been widely used but often struggle to capture the intricate nonlinear dynamics of markets, particularly in the flexible selection and effective utilization of key historical information. Recently, methods like Graph Neural Networks and Reinforcement Learning have shown promise in stock prediction but require high data quality and quantity, and they tend to exhibit instability when dealing with data sparsity and noise. Moreover, the training and inference processes for these models are typically complex and computationally expensive, limiting their broad deployment in practical applications. Existing approaches also generally struggle to capture unobservable latent market states effectively, such as market sentiment and expectations, microstructural factors, and participant behavior patterns, leading to an inadequate understanding of market dynamics and subsequently impact prediction accuracy. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a stock prediction model, MCI-GRU, based on a multi-head cross-attention mechanism and an improved GRU. First, we enhance the GRU model by replacing the reset gate with an attention mechanism, thereby increasing the model's flexibility in selecting and utilizing historical information. Second, we design a multi-head cross-attention mechanism for learning unobservable latent market state representations, which are further enriched through interactions with both temporal features and cross-sectional features. Finally, extensive experiments on four main stock markets show that the proposed method outperforms SOTA techniques across multiple metrics. Additionally, its successful application in real-world fund management operations confirms its effectiveness and practicality.

LSR-IGRU: Stock Trend Prediction Based on Long Short-Term Relationships and Improved GRU

Stock price prediction is a challenging problem in the field of finance and receives widespread attention. In recent years, with the rapid development of technologies such as deep learning and graph neural networks, more research methods have begun to focus on exploring the interrelationships between stocks. However, existing methods mostly focus on the short-term dynamic relationships of stocks and directly integrating relationship information with temporal information. They often overlook the complex nonlinear dynamic characteristics and potential higher-order interaction relationships among stocks in the stock market. Therefore, we propose a stock price trend prediction model named LSR-IGRU in this paper, which is based on long short-term stock relationships and an improved GRU input. Firstly, we construct a long short-term relationship matrix between stocks, where secondary industry information is employed for the first time to capture long-term relationships of stocks, and overnight price information is utilized to establish short-term relationships. Next, we improve the inputs of the GRU model at each step, enabling the model to more effectively integrate temporal information and long short-term relationship information, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of predicting stock trend changes. Finally, through extensive experiments on multiple datasets from stock markets in China and the United States, we validate the superiority of the proposed LSR-IGRU model over the current state-of-the-art baseline models. We also apply the proposed model to the algorithmic trading system of a financial company, achieving significantly higher cumulative portfolio returns compared to other baseline methods.

Towards Open-World Mobile Manipulation in Homes: Lessons from the Neurips 2023 HomeRobot Open Vocabulary Mobile Manipulation Challenge

In order to develop robots that can effectively serve as versatile and capable home assistants, it is crucial for them to reliably perceive and interact with a wide variety of objects across diverse environments. To this end, we proposed Open Vocabulary Mobile Manipulation as a key benchmark task for robotics: finding any object in a novel environment and placing it on any receptacle surface within that environment. We organized a NeurIPS 2023 competition featuring both simulation and real-world components to evaluate solutions to this task. Our baselines on the most challenging version of this task, using real perception in simulation, achieved only an 0.8% success rate; by the end of the competition, the best participants achieved an 10.8\% success rate, a 13x improvement. We observed that the most successful teams employed a variety of methods, yet two common threads emerged among the best solutions: enhancing error detection and recovery, and improving the integration of perception with decision-making processes. In this paper, we detail the results and methodologies used, both in simulation and real-world settings. We discuss the lessons learned and their implications for future research. Additionally, we compare performance in real and simulated environments, emphasizing the necessity for robust generalization to novel settings.

The oxygen partial pressure in solid oxide electrolysis cells with two layer electrolytes

A number of degradation mechanisms have been observed during the long-term operation of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC). Using an electrolyte charge carrier transport model, we quantify the oxygen potentials across the electrolyte and thereby provide insights into these degradation mechanisms. Our model describes the transport of charge carriers in the electrolyte when the oxygen partial pressure is extremely low by accounting for the spatial variation of the concentration of oxygen vacancies in the electrolyte. Moreover, we identify four quantities that characterize the distribution of oxygen partial pressure in the electrolyte, which are directly related to the degradation mechanisms in the electrolyte as well: the two oxygen partial pressures at the interfaces of the electrodes and the electrolyte, the oxygen partial pressure at the interface of YSZ/GDC, and the position of the abrupt change in oxygen potential near the p-n junction that develops in YSZ when one side of the cell is exposed to fuel (low oxygen potential, n-type conduction) and the other side is exposed to oxidant (high oxygen potential, p-type conduction). We give analytical estimates for all of these quantities. These analytical expressions provide guidance on the parameters that need to be controlled to suppress the degradation observed in the electrolyte. In addition, the effects of operating conditions, particularly current density and operating temperature, on degradation are discussed.
