GraphAHA: Graph-Based Adaptive Search with Heterogeneous Actions for Test-Time Code Generation

Test-time scaling improves code generation by spending additional inference budget (e.g., calls or tokens) on direct sampling, feedback-conditioned repair, and reasoning-guided implementation. Search-based methods can allocate this budget adaptively, but two challenges remain. First, tree-structured search treats each generation history as a separate state even when trajectories converge to the same program, duplicating evaluation and preventing statistics from being shared. Second, sampling, repair, and reasoning have complementary and state-dependent payoffs, making online allocation among them difficult under a finite budget. To address these challenges, we propose an adaptive graph search method with heterogeneous actions (GraphAHA). GraphAHA organizes the test-time code generation in a typed directed acyclic graph. Equivalent programs are merged into a single code node, allowing their downstream search statistics to be reused across all discovery paths. Hierarchical Thompson sampling then selects whether to generate a new state or follow an existing successor and, for generation, chooses among the type-valid sampling, reasoning, implementation, and repair operations. Evaluated on LiveCodeBench and CodeContests with Qwen2.5-Coder and DeepSeek-Coder, GraphAHA achieves the best score in 18 of 20 cases. For Pass@1 measured using visible tests, it outperforms the strongest baseline for both models on both benchmarks by 4.1 percentage points on average, demonstrating more effective use of a fixed inference budget.

Rethinking Training & Inference for Forecasting: Linking Winner-Take-All back to GMMs

Trajectory forecasting for autonomous driving has advanced rapidly, yet representative models often produce uninformative posteriors over forecast modes, causing problems for mode pruning. We trace this to a modeling-training mismatch: forecasters are typically modeled as conditional Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) but trained with a winner-take-all (WTA) loss that assigns each sample to its nearest mode. We argue that this K-means-like hard assignment (one-hot), while preventing mode collapse, is the source of uninformative mode probabilities: it over-segments the trajectory space, ignores relatedness among nearby modes, and yields assignment instability under small perturbations. Guided by this lens, we introduce two post-hoc treatments: (1) test-time posterior-weighted merging that aggregates nearby candidate trajectories; and (2) a one-step expectation-maximization (EM) update that replaces hard labels with soft responsibilities, sharing probability mass across neighboring modes. Across several WTA-trained architectures, these lightweight steps produce more informative, faithfully ranked mode posteriors and strengthen final forecasts on popular displacement metrics -- without retraining. Our analysis unifies recent design choices through a GMM-vs-K-means perspective and offers principled, practical corrections that better align training objectives with inference.

4D Radar Meets LiDAR and Camera: Cooperative Perception under Adverse Weather

Cooperative perception is important for autonomous driving but remains fragile when cameras and LiDAR degrade in adverse weather. We address this challenge by integrating 4D imaging radar as a weather-robust modality into collaborative perception and introducing a Doppler-guided spatial attention mechanism for multi-agent fusion. Our approach extends two representative backbones: a radar-camera pipeline where radar substitutes LiDAR, and a LiDAR-radar pipeline where radar complements LiDAR. To support evaluation, we release radar-augmented benchmarks, OPV2V-R and Adver-City-R, with physics-based LiDAR degradation. Experiments show strong robustness gains in fog and rain, including substantial improvements when radar replaces degraded LiDAR. Additional validation on MAN TruckScenes demonstrates transfer beyond simulation. Overall, our results highlight 4D imaging radar as a robust modality for all-weather collaborative perception.

SlimComm: Doppler-Guided Sparse Queries for Bandwidth-Efficient Cooperative 3-D Perception

Collaborative perception allows connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) to overcome occlusion and limited sensor range by sharing intermediate features. Yet transmitting dense Bird's-Eye-View (BEV) feature maps can overwhelm the bandwidth available for inter-vehicle communication. We present SlimComm, a communication-efficient framework that integrates 4D radar Doppler with a query-driven sparse scheme. SlimComm builds a motion-centric dynamic map to distinguish moving from static objects and generates two query types: (i) reference queries on dynamic and high-confidence regions, and (ii) exploratory queries probing occluded areas via a two-stage offset. Only query-specific BEV features are exchanged and fused through multi-scale gated deformable attention, reducing payload while preserving accuracy. For evaluation, we release OPV2V-R and Adver-City-R, CARLA-based datasets with per-point Doppler radar. SlimComm achieves up to 90% lower bandwidth than full-map sharing while matching or surpassing prior baselines across varied traffic densities and occlusions. Dataset and code will be available at: https://url.fzi.de/SlimComm.

Behavioral Anomaly Detection in Distributed Systems via Federated Contrastive Learning

This paper addresses the increasingly prominent problem of anomaly detection in distributed systems. It proposes a detection method based on federated contrastive learning. The goal is to overcome the limitations of traditional centralized approaches in terms of data privacy, node heterogeneity, and anomaly pattern recognition. The proposed method combines the distributed collaborative modeling capabilities of federated learning with the feature discrimination enhancement of contrastive learning. It builds embedding representations on local nodes and constructs positive and negative sample pairs to guide the model in learning a more discriminative feature space. Without exposing raw data, the method optimizes a global model through a federated aggregation strategy. Specifically, the method uses an encoder to represent local behavior data in high-dimensional space. This includes system logs, operational metrics, and system calls. The model is trained using both contrastive loss and classification loss to improve its ability to detect fine-grained anomaly patterns. The method is evaluated under multiple typical attack types. It is also tested in a simulated real-time data stream scenario to examine its responsiveness. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches across multiple performance metrics. It demonstrates strong detection accuracy and adaptability, effectively addressing complex anomalies in distributed environments. Through careful design of key modules and optimization of the training mechanism, the proposed method achieves a balance between privacy preservation and detection performance. It offers a feasible technical path for intelligent security management in distributed systems.

Semantic and Feature Guided Uncertainty Quantification of Visual Localization for Autonomous Vehicles

The uncertainty quantification of sensor measurements coupled with deep learning networks is crucial for many robotics systems, especially for safety-critical applications such as self-driving cars. This paper develops an uncertainty quantification approach in the context of visual localization for autonomous driving, where locations are selected based on images. Key to our approach is to learn the measurement uncertainty using light-weight sensor error model, which maps both image feature and semantic information to 2-dimensional error distribution. Our approach enables uncertainty estimation conditioned on the specific context of the matched image pair, implicitly capturing other critical, unannotated factors (e.g., city vs highway, dynamic vs static scenes, winter vs summer) in a latent manner. We demonstrate the accuracy of our uncertainty prediction framework using the Ithaca365 dataset, which includes variations in lighting and weather (sunny, night, snowy). Both the uncertainty quantification of the sensor+network is evaluated, along with Bayesian localization filters using unique sensor gating method. Results show that the measurement error does not follow a Gaussian distribution with poor weather and lighting conditions, and is better predicted by our Gaussian Mixture model.

Time-Series Learning for Proactive Fault Prediction in Distributed Systems with Deep Neural Structures

This paper addresses the challenges of fault prediction and delayed response in distributed systems by proposing an intelligent prediction method based on temporal feature learning. The method takes multi-dimensional performance metric sequences as input. We use a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) to model the evolution of system states over time. An attention mechanism is then applied to enhance key temporal segments, improving the model's ability to identify potential faults. On this basis, a feedforward neural network is designed to perform the final classification, enabling early warning of system failures. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, comparative experiments and ablation analyses were conducted using data from a large-scale real-world cloud system. The experimental results show that the model outperforms various mainstream time-series models in terms of Accuracy, F1-Score, and AUC. This demonstrates strong prediction capability and stability. Furthermore, the loss function curve confirms the convergence and reliability of the training process. It indicates that the proposed method effectively learns system behavior patterns and achieves efficient fault detection.

Graph Neural Network-Based Collaborative Perception for Adaptive Scheduling in Distributed Systems

This paper addresses the limitations of multi-node perception and delayed scheduling response in distributed systems by proposing a GNN-based multi-node collaborative perception mechanism. The system is modeled as a graph structure. Message-passing and state-update modules are introduced. A multi-layer graph neural network is constructed to enable efficient information aggregation and dynamic state inference among nodes. In addition, a perception representation method is designed by fusing local states with global features. This improves each node's ability to perceive the overall system status. The proposed method is evaluated within a customized experimental framework. A dataset featuring heterogeneous task loads and dynamic communication topologies is used. Performance is measured in terms of task completion rate, average latency, load balancing, and transmission efficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms mainstream algorithms under various conditions, including limited bandwidth and dynamic structural changes. It demonstrates superior perception capabilities and cooperative scheduling performance. The model achieves rapid convergence and efficient responses to complex system states.

Dynamic Nanodomains Dictate Macroscopic Properties in Lead Halide Perovskites

Empirical A-site cation substitution has advanced the stability and efficiency of hybrid organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites solar cells and the functionality of X-ray detectors. Yet, the fundamental mechanisms underpinning their unique performance remain elusive. This multi-modal study unveils the link between nanoscale structural dynamics and macroscopic optoelectronic properties in these materials by utilising X-ray diffuse scattering, inelastic neutron spectroscopy and optical microscopy complemented by state-of-the-art machine learning-assisted molecular dynamics simulations. Our approach uncovers the presence of dynamic, lower-symmetry local nanodomains embedded within the higher-symmetry average phase in various perovskite compositions. The properties of these nanodomains are tunable via the A-site cation selection: methylammonium induces a high density of anisotropic, planar nanodomains of out-of-phase octahedral tilts, while formamidinium favours sparsely distributed isotropic, spherical nanodomains with in-phase tilting, even when crystallography reveals cubic symmetry on average. The observed variations in the properties of dynamic nanodomains are in agreement with our simulations and are directly linked to the differing macroscopic optoelectronic and ferroelastic behaviours of these compositions. By demonstrating the influence of A-site cation on local nanodomains and consequently, on macroscopic properties, we propose leveraging this relationship to engineer the optoelectronic response of these materials, propelling further advancements in perovskite-based photovoltaics, optoelectronics, and X-ray imaging.
