EgoTactile: Learning Grasp Pressure for Everyday Objects from Egocentric Video

Estimating full-hand grasp pressure from egocentric video is critical for immersive VR and robotic manipulation, yet dense tactile sensing often relies on intrusive hardware. Existing vision-based methods predominantly rely on planar surfaces or fingertip contacts, failing to generalize to complex 3D object interactions. Therefore, we introduce EgoTactile, a benchmark pairing egocentric video with full-hand pressure supervision for diverse everyday objects, incorporating a bare-hand transfer subset to enable generalization to natural scenarios. Leveraging this benchmark, we first establish EgoPressureFormer as a discriminative baseline. Beyond this, to explicitly address the uncertainty in partial observations, we propose EgoPressureDiff, a conditional diffusion framework that adapts a large-scale pre-trained video diffusion backbone. By combining rich world knowledge priors with a Physically-Informed Feature Rectification layer to inject semantic constraints, our approach effectively infers plausible contact patterns and resolves visual-physical ambiguities. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves superior performance on the benchmark and robust transferability to in-the-wild scenarios.

RECALL: REpresentation-aligned Catastrophic-forgetting ALLeviation via Hierarchical Model Merging

We unveil that internal representations in large language models (LLMs) serve as reliable proxies of learned knowledge, and propose RECALL, a novel representation-aware model merging framework for continual learning without access to historical data. RECALL computes inter-model similarity from layer-wise hidden representations over clustered typical samples, and performs adaptive, hierarchical parameter fusion to align knowledge across models. This design enables the preservation of domain-general features in shallow layers while allowing task-specific adaptation in deeper layers. Unlike prior methods that require task labels or incur performance trade-offs, RECALL achieves seamless multi-domain integration and strong resistance to catastrophic forgetting. Extensive experiments across five NLP tasks and multiple continual learning scenarios show that RECALL outperforms baselines in both knowledge retention and generalization, providing a scalable and data-free solution for evolving LLMs.

FGGS-LiDAR: Ultra-Fast, GPU-Accelerated Simulation from General 3DGS Models to LiDAR

While 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a strong representation for photorealistic rendering, its vast ecosystem of assets remains difficult to use for high-performance LiDAR simulation, a critical tool for robotics and autonomous driving. We present \textbf{FGGS-LiDAR}, a geometry-first framework that bridges this gap in a plug-and-play manner. Our method converts pretrained 3DGS assets into watertight meshes directly from Gaussian parameters, without requiring LiDAR-specific supervision or architectural alterations, via volumetric discretization and Truncated Signed Distance Field (TSDF) extraction. We pair this with a GPU-accelerated ray-casting module that simulates LiDAR returns at over 500 FPS and supports batched multi-environment simulation with up to 4096 environments. In large-scale parallel settings, FGGS-LiDAR achieves an order-of-magnitude lower LiDAR simulation latency than Isaac Sim. We validate FGGS-LiDAR on both indoor and outdoor scenes, demonstrating high LiDAR-simulation fidelity. Furthermore, on COLMAP-posed indoor benchmarks, we compare against existing 3DGS-to-mesh baselines and report lower LiDAR-simulation error. Code is at https://github.com/discoverse-dev/FGGS-LiDAR.

MMTL-UniAD: A Unified Framework for Multimodal and Multi-Task Learning in Assistive Driving Perception

Advanced driver assistance systems require a comprehensive understanding of the driver's mental/physical state and traffic context but existing works often neglect the potential benefits of joint learning between these tasks. This paper proposes MMTL-UniAD, a unified multi-modal multi-task learning framework that simultaneously recognizes driver behavior (e.g., looking around, talking), driver emotion (e.g., anxiety, happiness), vehicle behavior (e.g., parking, turning), and traffic context (e.g., traffic jam, traffic smooth). A key challenge is avoiding negative transfer between tasks, which can impair learning performance. To address this, we introduce two key components into the framework: one is the multi-axis region attention network to extract global context-sensitive features, and the other is the dual-branch multimodal embedding to learn multimodal embeddings from both task-shared and task-specific features. The former uses a multi-attention mechanism to extract task-relevant features, mitigating negative transfer caused by task-unrelated features. The latter employs a dual-branch structure to adaptively adjust task-shared and task-specific parameters, enhancing cross-task knowledge transfer while reducing task conflicts. We assess MMTL-UniAD on the AIDE dataset, using a series of ablation studies, and show that it outperforms state-of-the-art methods across all four tasks. The code is available on https://github.com/Wenzhuo-Liu/MMTL-UniAD.

Adapting Network Information into Semantics for Generalizable and Plug-and-Play Multi-Scenario Network Diagnosis

Leverage large language model (LLM) to refer the fault is considered to be a potential solution for intelligent network fault diagnosis. However, how to represent network information in a paradigm that can be understood by LLMs has always been a core issue that has puzzled scholars in the field of network intelligence. To address this issue, we propose LLM-based Network Semantic Generation (LNSG) algorithm, which integrates semanticization and symbolization methods to uniformly describe the entire multi-modal network information. Based on the LNSG and LLMs, we present NetSemantic, a plug-and-play, data-independent, network information semantic fault diagnosis framework. It enables rapid adaptation to various network environments and provides efficient fault diagnosis capabilities. Experimental results demonstrate that NetSemantic excels in network fault diagnosis across various complex scenarios in a zero-shot manner.

Enhancing Image Generation Fidelity via Progressive Prompts

The diffusion transformer (DiT) architecture has attracted significant attention in image generation, achieving better fidelity, performance, and diversity. However, most existing DiT - based image generation methods focus on global - aware synthesis, and regional prompt control has been less explored. In this paper, we propose a coarse - to - fine generation pipeline for regional prompt - following generation. Specifically, we first utilize the powerful large language model (LLM) to generate both high - level descriptions of the image (such as content, topic, and objects) and low - level descriptions (such as details and style). Then, we explore the influence of cross - attention layers at different depths. We find that deeper layers are always responsible for high - level content control, while shallow layers handle low - level content control. Various prompts are injected into the proposed regional cross - attention control for coarse - to - fine generation. By using the proposed pipeline, we enhance the controllability of DiT - based image generation. Extensive quantitative and qualitative results show that our pipeline can improve the performance of the generated images.
