Dual-Process Atomic Skill Learning: Decoupling Semantic Reasoning and Real-Time Control

Language-conditioned Imitation Learning (IL) is essential for enabling robots to perform complex tasks following natural language instructions. However, generalizing to multi-step compositional tasks remains a significant challenge. While hierarchical approaches attempt to address this by decomposing tasks into atomic skills, existing methods often suffer from training instability and codebook collapse due to the tight coupling between high-level skill reasoning and low-level action generation in joint training paradigms. Inspired by the Dual-Process Theory of cognition, we propose Dual-Process Atomic Skill Learning (DASL), a novel asynchronous hierarchical imitation learning framework that decouples slow semantic reasoning from fast, real-time motion control. DASL comprises a Slow-Frequency Policy that predicts interpretable, discrete skills via Vector Quantization, and a High-Frequency Policy that leverages a latent diffusion model and a Decision Transformer to generate precise actions conditioned on these latent skills. By asynchronously coordinating these modules and utilizing diffusion to structure the latent space, our framework mitigates the skill codebook interference problem common in joint training paradigms. Evaluations across simulation benchmarks and experiment demonstrate that DASL significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, excelling in skill acquisition and compositional generalization to unseen instructions.

M3MAD-Bench: Multi-Dimensional Evaluation of Multi-Agent Debate Across Domains and Modalities

As an agent-level reasoning and coordination paradigm, Multi-Agent Debate (MAD) orchestrates multiple agents through structured debate to improve answer quality and support complex reasoning. However, existing research on MAD suffers from two fundamental limitations: evaluations are conducted under fragmented and inconsistent settings, making fair comparison difficult, and are largely confined to text-only scenarios, leaving its effectiveness in multimodal settings underexplored. To address these gaps, we introduce M3MAD-Bench, a unified and extensible benchmark for evaluating MAD methods across Multi-domain tasks, Multi-modal inputs, and Multi-dimensional metrics. M3MAD-Bench establishes standardized protocols over five core task domains, including Knowledge, Mathematics, Medicine, Natural Sciences, and Complex Reasoning, covering a total of 13 datasets, and systematically includes both pure text and vision-language data, enabling controlled cross-modality comparison. We evaluate MAD methods on 9 base models spanning different architectures, scales, and modality capabilities. Beyond accuracy, M3MAD-Bench incorporates efficiency-oriented metrics such as token consumption and inference time, providing a holistic view of performance--cost trade-offs. Through extensive experiments, we derive nine key insights, revealing that MAD is not uniformly effective: collaborative methods are generally more robust than adversarial ones, especially on reasoning-intensive and multimodal tasks, but often incur substantial efficiency costs. These findings provide practical guidance for selecting and designing MAD strategies in real-world applications. We believe M3MAD-Bench offers a reliable foundation for future research on standardized and reproducible MAD evaluation. The code is available at https://github.com/liaolea/M3MAD-Bench.

A Hierarchical Deep Learning Model for Predicting Pedestrian-Level Urban Winds

Deep learning-based surrogate models offer a computationally efficient alternative to high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for predicting urban wind flow. However, conventional approaches usually only yield low-frequency predictions (essentially averaging values from proximate pixels), missing critical high-frequency details such as sharp gradients and peak wind speeds. This study proposes a hierarchical approach for accurately predicting pedestrian-level urban winds, which adopts a two-stage predictor-refiner framework. In the first stage, a U-Net architecture generates a baseline prediction from urban geometry. In the second stage, a conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN) refines this baseline by restoring the missing high-frequency content. The cGAN's generator incorporates a multi-scale architecture with stepwise kernel sizes, enabling simultaneous learning of global flow structures and fine-grained local features. Trained and validated on the UrbanTALES dataset with comprehensive urban configurations, the proposed hierarchical framework significantly outperforms the baseline predictor. With a marked qualitative improvement in resolving high-speed wind jets and complex turbulent wakes as well as wind statistics, the results yield quantitative enhancement in prediction accuracy (e.g., RMSE reduced by 76% for the training set and 60% for the validation set). This work presents an effective and robust methodology for enhancing the prediction fidelity of surrogate models in urban planning, pedestrian comfort assessment, and wind safety analysis. The proposed model will be integrated into an interactive web platform as Feilian Version 2.

High Q and high gradient performance of the first medium-temperature baking 1.3 GHz cryomodule

World's first 1.3 GHz cryomodule containing eight 9-cell superconducting radio-frequency (RF) cavities treated by medium-temperature furnace baking (mid-T bake) was developed, assembled and tested at IHEP for the Dalian Advanced Light Source (DALS) and CEPC R&D. The 9-cell cavities in the cryomodule achieved an unprecedented highest average Q0 of 3.8E10 at 16 MV/m and 3.6E10 at 21 MV/m in the horizontal test. The cryomodule can operate stably up to a total CW RF voltage greater than 191 MV, with an average cavity CW accelerating gradient of more than 23 MV/m. The results significantly exceed the specifications of CEPC, DALS and the other high repetition rate free electron laser facilities (LCLS-II, LCLS-II-HE, SHINE, S3FEL). There is evidence that the mid-T bake cavity may not require fast cool-down or long processing time in the cryomodule. This paper reviews the cryomodule performance and discusses some important issues in cryomodule assembly and testing.

Anchor-Intermediate Detector: Decoupling and Coupling Bounding Boxes for Accurate Object Detection

Anchor-based detectors have been continuously developed for object detection. However, the individual anchor box makes it difficult to predict the boundary's offset accurately. Instead of taking each bounding box as a closed individual, we consider using multiple boxes together to get prediction boxes. To this end, this paper proposes the \textbf{Box Decouple-Couple(BDC) strategy} in the inference, which no longer discards the overlapping boxes, but decouples the corner points of these boxes. Then, according to each corner's score, we couple the corner points to select the most accurate corner pairs. To meet the BDC strategy, a simple but novel model is designed named the \textbf{Anchor-Intermediate Detector(AID)}, which contains two head networks, i.e., an anchor-based head and an anchor-free \textbf{Corner-aware head}. The corner-aware head is able to score the corners of each bounding box to facilitate the coupling between corner points. Extensive experiments on MS COCO show that the proposed anchor-intermediate detector respectively outperforms their baseline RetinaNet and GFL method by $\sim$2.4 and $\sim$1.2 AP on the MS COCO test-dev dataset without any bells and whistles.

The 10 MeV accelerator-driven subcritical system (ADS) Injector-I test stand at Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) is a testing facility dedicated to demonstrate one of the two injector design schemes [Injector Scheme-I, which works at 325 MHz], for the ADS project in China. The Injector adopted a four vane copper structure RFQ with output energy of 3.2 MeV and a superconducting (SC) section accommodating fourteen \b{eta}g=0.12 single spoke cavities, fourteen SC solenoids and fourteen cold BPMs. The ion source was installed since April of 2014, periods of commissioning are regularly scheduled between installation phases of the rest of the injector. Continuous wave (CW) beam was shooting through the injector and 10 MeV CW proton beam with average beam current around 2 mA was obtained recently. This contribution describe the results achieved so far and the difficulties encountered in CW commissioning.

Numerical studies of an eccentric tube-in-tube helically coiled heat exchanger for IHEP-ADS helium purification system

The tube-in-tube helically coiled (TTHC) heat exchanger is preferred in the purifier of IHEP-ADS helium purification system. The position of an internal tube is usually eccentric in a TTHC heat exchanger in practice, while most TTHC heat exchangers in the literature studied are concentric. In this paper, TTHC heat exchangers with different eccentricity ratios are numerically studied for turbulent flow and heat transfer characteristics under different flow rates. The fluid considered is helium at the pressure of 20Mpa, with temperature dependent thermo-physical properties for the inner tube and the annulus. The inner Nusselt number between the concentric and eccentric TTHC heat exchangers are compared, so is the annulus Nusselt number. The results show that with the eccentricity increasing, the annulus Nusselt number increases substantially. According to the numerical data, new empirical correlations of Nusselt number as a function of Reynolds number and eccentricity for the inner tube and the annulus are presented in this paper. The TTHC heat exchanger of the purifier is designed under the given conditions.
