Structured Analytic Coherent Point Drift for Non-Rigid Point Set Registration

Coherent Point Drift (CPD) is a representative probabilistic framework for unsupervised non-rigid point set registration. Its standard non-rigid M-step, however, relies on a point-indexed Gaussian-kernel system whose size grows with the number of moving points, making deformation estimation computationally heavy for large point sets and difficult to control in complexity during registration. To address these limitations, we propose Analytic-CPD, a new unsupervised non-rigid registration framework that gives CPD a structured analytic reformulation. Analytic-CPD preserves the CPD posterior correspondence layer, but lifts the M-step from point-indexed kernel displacement estimation to structured analytic mapping estimation. By coupling the Gaussian-mixture posterior mechanism of CPD with Structured Analytic Mappings (SAM), the method obtains a deformation model whose coefficient dimension is governed by the ambient dimension and analytic order rather than by the number of moving points. More importantly, deformation estimation is organized over an interpretable hierarchy of analytic function spaces, so the analytic order can be increased progressively as posterior correspondences become more reliable. We implement this idea through an increasing-degree continuation strategy with decreasing stage lengths: low-order analytic maps first stabilize the posterior correspondence structure, while higher-order modes later refine nonlinear residual deformation. Experiments on controlled model-matched, smooth model-mismatch, and registered human-shape data demonstrate the effectiveness and favorable accuracy--efficiency performance of Analytic-CPD.

DermAgent: A Self-Reflective Agentic System for Dermatological Image Analysis with Multi-Tool Reasoning and Traceable Decision-Making

Dermatological diagnosis requires integrating fine-grained visual perception with expert clinical knowledge. Although Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) facilitate interactive medical image analysis, their application in dermatology is hindered by insufficient domain-specific grounding and hallucinations. To address these issues, we propose DermAgent, a collaborative multi-tool agent that orchestrates seven specialized vision and language modules within a Plan-Execute-Reflect framework. DermAgent delivers stepwise, traceable diagnostic reasoning through three core components. First, it employs complementary visual perception tools for comprehensive morphological description, dermoscopic concept annotation, and disease diagnosis. Second, to overcome the lack of domain prior, a dual-modality retrieval module anchors every prediction in external evidence by cross-referencing 413,210 diagnosed image cases and 3,199 clinical guideline chunks. To further mitigate hallucinations, a deterministic critic module conducts strict post-hoc auditing via confidence, coverage, and conflict gates, automatically detecting inter-source disagreements to trigger targeted self-correction. Extensive experiments on five dermatology benchmarks demonstrate that DermAgent consistently outperforms state-of-the-art MLLMs and medical agent baselines across zero-shot fine-grained disease diagnosis, concept annotation, and clinical captioning tasks, exceeding GPT-4o by 17.6% in skin disease diagnostic accuracy and 3.15% in captioning ROUGE-L.

Design Your Ad: Personalized Advertising Image and Text Generation with Unified Autoregressive Models

Generating realistic and user-preferred advertisements is a key challenge in e-commerce. Existing approaches utilize multiple independent models driven by click-through-rate (CTR) to controllably create attractive image or text advertisements. However, their pipelines lack cross-modal perception and rely on CTR that only reflects average preferences. Therefore, we explore jointly generating personalized image-text advertisements from historical click behaviors. We first design a Unified Advertisement Generative model (Uni-AdGen) that employs a single autoregressive framework to produce both advertising images and texts. By incorporating a foreground perception module and instruction tuning, Uni-AdGen enhances the realism of the generated content. To further personalize advertisements, we equip Uni-AdGen with a coarse-to-fine preference understanding module that effectively captures user interests from noisy multimodal historical behaviors to drive personalized generation. Additionally, we construct the first large-scale Personalized Advertising image-text dataset (PAd1M) and introduce a Product Background Similarity (PBS) metric to facilitate training and evaluation. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms baselines in general and personalized advertisement generation. Our project is available at https://github.com/JD-GenX/Uni-AdGen.

Truly Sub-Nyquist Generalized Eigenvalue Method with High-Resolution

The achievement of spectral super-resolution sensing is critically important for a variety of applications, such as radar, remote sensing, and wireless communication. However, in compressed spectrum sensing, challenges such as spectrum leakage and the picket-fence effect significantly complicate the accurate extraction of super-resolution signal components. Additionally, the practical implementation of random sampling poses a significant hurdle to the widespread adoption of compressed spectrum sensing techniques. To overcome these challenges, this study introduces a generalized eigenvalue method that leverages the incoherence between signal components and the linearity-preserving characteristics of differential operations. This method facilitates the precise extraction of signal component parameters with super-resolution capabilities under sub-Nyquist sampling conditions. The proposed technique is founded on uniform sub-Nyquist sampling, which represents a true sub-Nyquist approach and effectively mitigates the complexities associated with hardware implementation. Furthermore, the proposed method diverges from traditional compressed sensing techniques by operating outside the discrete Fourier transform framework. This departure successfully eliminates spectral leakage and the picket-fence effect. Moreover, it substantially reduces the detrimental impacts of random sampling on signal reconstruction and hardware implementation, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness and feasibility of spectral super-resolution sensing.

KD-CVG: A Knowledge-Driven Approach for Creative Video Generation

Creative Generation (CG) leverages generative models to automatically produce advertising content that highlights product features, and it has been a significant focus of recent research. However, while CG has advanced considerably, most efforts have concentrated on generating advertising text and images, leaving Creative Video Generation (CVG) relatively underexplored. This gap is largely due to two major challenges faced by Text-to-Video (T2V) models: (a) \textbf{ambiguous semantic alignment}, where models struggle to accurately correlate product selling points with creative video content, and (b) \textbf{inadequate motion adaptability}, resulting in unrealistic movements and distortions. To address these challenges, we develop a comprehensive Advertising Creative Knowledge Base (ACKB) as a foundational resource and propose a knowledge-driven approach (KD-CVG) to overcome the knowledge limitations of existing models. KD-CVG consists of two primary modules: Semantic-Aware Retrieval (SAR) and Multimodal Knowledge Reference (MKR). SAR utilizes the semantic awareness of graph attention networks and reinforcement learning feedback to enhance the model's comprehension of the connections between selling points and creative videos. Building on this, MKR incorporates semantic and motion priors into the T2V model to address existing knowledge gaps. Extensive experiments have demonstrated KD-CVG's superior performance in achieving semantic alignment and motion adaptability, validating its effectiveness over other state-of-the-art methods. The code and dataset will be open source at https://kdcvg.github.io/KDCVG/.

BoxTuning: Directly Injecting the Object Box for Multimodal Model Fine-Tuning

Object-level spatial-temporal understanding is essential for video question answering, yet existing multimodal large language models (MLLMs) encode frames holistically and lack explicit mechanisms for fine-grained object grounding. Recent work addresses this by serializing bounding box coordinates as text tokens, but this text-coordinate paradigm suffers from a fundamental modality mismatch: object information is inherently visual, yet encoding it as text incurs a high token cost that forces aggressive temporal downsampling. We propose BoxTuning, which resolves this mismatch by injecting object spatial-temporal information directly into the visual modality. Colored bounding boxes and trajectory trails are rendered onto video frames as visual prompts, with only a concise color-to-object legend retained as text. This reduces the token cost significantly, achieving 87-93% text token reduction in practice. It also preserves full temporal resolution, where the trajectory trails further encode inter-frame motion direction and speed within each keyframe, recovering fine-grained dynamics that text-coordinate methods are forced to discard. Experimental results on five video QA benchmarks (CLEVRER, Perception Test, STAR, NExT-QA, IntentQA) show that BoxTuning surpasses text-coordinate baselines on spatially oriented tasks and nearly eliminates the accuracy degradation observed on reasoning-centric tasks, establishing visual prompting as a more natural and efficient paradigm for conveying object information to video MLLMs.

Do MLLMs Really Understand Space? A Mathematical Reasoning Evaluation

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved strong performance on perception-oriented tasks, yet their ability to perform mathematical spatial reasoning, defined as the capacity to parse and manipulate two- and three-dimensional relations, remains unclear. Humans easily solve textbook-style spatial reasoning problems with over 95\% accuracy, but we find that most leading MLLMs fail to reach even 60\% on the same tasks. This striking gap highlights spatial reasoning as a fundamental weakness of current models. To investigate this gap, we present \emph{MathSpatial}, the first large-scale and systematic dataset resource dedicated to mathematical spatial reasoning in MLLMs. \emph{MathSpatial} provides two complementary subsets: (i)~\emph{MathSpatial-Bench}, a rigorously curated evaluation set of 2{,}000 problems spanning 3 categories and 11 subtypes, designed to isolate spatial reasoning from perceptual noise; and (ii)~\emph{MathSpatial-Corpus}, a training set of 8{,}000 problems equipped with verified solutions and structured reasoning traces. All problems are sourced from authentic educational materials and undergo multi-stage quality control including deduplication, geometric consistency checking, and cross-validated solution verification. Benchmarking 16 leading MLLMs on \emph{MathSpatial-Bench} reveals that spatial reasoning remains a fundamental bottleneck: even GPT-5 lags behind human performance by over 35 percentage points, with particularly poor results on abstract deduction tasks. We further show that training on \emph{MathSpatial-Corpus} yields consistent improvements across model families, demonstrating the dataset's practical value for advancing spatial reasoning capabilities. \emph{MathSpatial} is publicly available at https://shuolucs.github.io/MathSpatial.

Nonreciprocal superradiant quantum phase transition induced by the magnon Kerr effect

Recently, proposals for realizing a nonreciprocal superradiant quantum phase transition (SQPT) have been put forward, based on either nonreciprocal interactions between two spin ensembles or the Sagnac-Fizeau shift in a spinning cavity. However, experimental implementation of such a nonreciprocal SQPT remains challenging. This motivates the search for new mechanisms capable of producing a nonreciprocal SQPT. Here, we propose an alternative approach to realize a nonreciprocal SQPT, induced by the magnon Kerr effect (MKE), in a cavity magnonic system, where magnons in a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere are coupled to cavity photons. The MKE coefficient is positive ($K>0$) when the bias magnetic field is aligned along the crystallographic axis [100], but negative ($K<0$) when aligned along the axis [110]. We show that the steady-state phase diagram for $K > 0$ differs markedly from that for $K < 0$. This contrast is the origin of the nonreciprocal SQPT. By further studying the steady-state magnon occupation and its fluctuations versus the parametric drive strength, we demonstrate that the SQPT becomes nonreciprocal, characterized by distinct critical thresholds for $K > 0$ and $K < 0$. Moreover, we introduce a bidirectional contrast ratio to quantify this nonreciprocal behavior. Our work provides a new mechanism for realizing the nonreciprocal SQPT, with potential applications in designing nonreciprocal quantum devices.

IRIS-SLAM: Unified Geo-Instance Representations for Robust Semantic Localization and Mapping

Geometry foundation models have significantly advanced dense geometric SLAM, yet existing systems often lack deep semantic understanding and robust loop closure capabilities. Meanwhile, contemporary semantic mapping approaches are frequently hindered by decoupled architectures and fragile data association. We propose IRIS-SLAM, a novel RGB semantic SLAM system that leverages unified geometric-instance representations derived from an instance-extended foundation model. By extending a geometry foundation model to concurrently predict dense geometry and cross-view consistent instance embeddings, we enable a semantic-synergized association mechanism and instance-guided loop closure detection. Our approach effectively utilizes viewpoint-agnostic semantic anchors to bridge the gap between geometric reconstruction and open-vocabulary mapping. Experimental results demonstrate that IRIS-SLAM significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, particularly in map consistency and wide-baseline loop closure reliability.

Joint Task Orchestration and Resource Optimization for SC3 Closed Loop in 6G Networks

In hazardous environments, sensors and actuators can be deployed to see and operate on behalf of humans, enabling safe and efficient task execution. Functioning as a neural center, the edge information hub (EIH), which integrates communication and computing capabilities, coordinates these sensors and actuators into sensing-communication-computing-control (SC3) closed loops to enable autonomous operations. From a system-level optimization perspective, this paper addresses the problem of joint sensor-actuator pairing and resource allocation across multiple SC3 closed loops. To tackle the resulting mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem, we develop a learning-optimization-integrated actor-critic (LOAC) framework. In this framework, a deep neural network-based actor generates pairing candidates, while an optimization-based critic subsequently allocates communication and computing resources. The actor is then iteratively refined through feedback from the critic. Simulation results demonstrate that the LOAC framework achieves near-optimal solutions with low computational complexity, offering significant performance gains in reducing control cost.

NoOVD: Novel Category Discovery and Embedding for Open-Vocabulary Object Detection

Despite the remarkable progress in open-vocabulary object detection (OVD), a significant gap remains between the training and testing phases. During training, the RPN and RoI heads often misclassify unlabeled novel-category objects as background, causing some proposals to be prematurely filtered out by the RPN while others are further misclassified by the RoI head. During testing, these proposals again receive low scores and are removed in post-processing, leading to a significant drop in recall and ultimately weakening novel-category detection performance.To address these issues, we propose a novel training framework-NoOVD-which innovatively integrates a self-distillation mechanism grounded in the knowledge of frozen vision-language models (VLMs). Specifically, we design K-FPN, which leverages the pretrained knowledge of VLMs to guide the model in discovering novel-category objects and facilitates knowledge distillation-without requiring additional data-thus preventing forced alignment of novel objects with background.Additionally, we introduce R-RPN, which adjusts the confidence scores of proposals during inference to improve the recall of novel-category objects. Cross-dataset evaluations on OV-LVIS, OV-COCO, and Objects365 demonstrate that our approach consistently achieves superior performance across multiple metrics.

HISR: Hindsight Information Modulated Segmental Process Rewards For Multi-turn Agentic Reinforcement Learning

While large language models excel in diverse domains, their performance on complex longhorizon agentic decision-making tasks remains limited. Most existing methods concentrate on designing effective reward models (RMs) to advance performance via multi-turn reinforcement learning. However, they suffer from delayed propagation in sparse outcome rewards and unreliable credit assignment with potentially overly fine-grained and unfocused turnlevel process rewards. In this paper, we propose (HISR) exploiting Hindsight Information to modulate Segmental process Rewards, which closely aligns rewards with sub-goals and underscores significant segments to enhance the reliability of credit assignment. Specifically, a segment-level process RM is presented to assign rewards for each sub-goal in the task, avoiding excessively granular allocation to turns. To emphasize significant segments in the trajectory, a hindsight model is devised to reflect the preference of performing a certain action after knowing the trajectory outcome. With this characteristic, we design the ratios of sequence likelihoods between hindsight and policy model to measure action importance. The ratios are subsequently employed to aggregate segment importance scores, which in turn modulate segmental process rewards, enhancing credit assignment reliability. Extensive experimental results on three publicly benchmarks demonstrate the validity of our method.

Latency-Constrained Resource Synergization for Mission-Oriented 6G Non-Terrestrial Networks

This paper investigates latency-constrained resource synergization for mission-oriented non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) in post-disaster emergency scenarios. When terrestrial infrastructures are damaged, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with edge information hubs (EIHs) are deployed to provide temporary coverage and synergize communication and computing resources for rapid situation awareness. We formulate a joint resource configuration and location optimization problem to minimize overall resource costs while guaranteeing stringent latency requirements. Through analytical derivations, we obtain closed-form optimal solutions that reveal the fundamental tradeoff between communication and computing resources, and develop a successive convex approximation method for EIH location optimization. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves approximately 20% cost reduction compared with benchmark approaches, validating its optimality and effectiveness for mission-critical emergency response applications in the sixth-generation (6G) era.

Structured Bitmap-to-Mesh Triangulation for Geometry-Aware Discretization of Image-Derived Domains

We propose a template-driven triangulation framework that embeds raster- or segmentation-derived boundaries into a regular triangular grid for stable PDE discretization on image-derived domains. Unlike constrained Delaunay triangulation (CDT), which may trigger global connectivity updates, our method retriangulates only triangles intersected by the boundary, preserves the base mesh, and supports synchronization-free parallel execution. To ensure determinism and scalability, we classify all local boundary-intersection configurations up to discrete equivalence and triangle symmetries, yielding a finite symbolic lookup table that maps each case to a conflict-free retriangulation template. We prove that the resulting mesh is closed, has bounded angles, and is compatible with cotangent-based discretizations and standard finite element methods. Experiments on elliptic and parabolic PDEs, signal interpolation, and structural metrics show fewer sliver elements, more regular triangles, and improved geometric fidelity near complex boundaries. The framework is well suited for real-time geometric analysis and physically based simulation over image-derived domains.

PPO-Based Hybrid Optimization for RIS-Assisted Semantic Vehicular Edge Computing

To support latency-sensitive Internet of Vehicles (IoV) applications amidst dynamic environments and intermittent links, this paper proposes a Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)-aided semantic-aware Vehicle Edge Computing (VEC) framework. This approach integrates RIS to optimize wireless connectivity and semantic communication to minimize latency by transmitting semantic features. We formulate a comprehensive joint optimization problem by optimizing offloading ratios, the number of semantic symbols, and RIS phase shifts. Considering the problem's high dimensionality and non-convexity, we propose a two-tier hybrid scheme that employs Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) for discrete decision-making and Linear Programming (LP) for offloading optimization. {The simulation results have validated the proposed framework's superiority over existing methods. Specifically, the proposed PPO-based hybrid optimization scheme reduces the average end-to-end latency by approximately 40% to 50% compared to Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO). Moreover, the system demonstrates strong scalability by maintaining low latency even in congested scenarios with up to 30 vehicles.

iLLaVA: An Image is Worth Fewer Than 1/3 Input Tokens in Large Multimodal Models

Recent methods have made notable progress in accelerating Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) by exploiting the inherent redundancy in visual inputs. Most existing approaches, however, focus narrowly on reducing image tokens before or within the Large Language Model (LLM) stage to lower computational cost. This overlooks other major bottlenecks, particularly the image encoder, which itself requires substantial computation. As a result, these methods fall short of achieving true end-to-end acceleration. Importantly, the image encoder is the primary contributor of input tokens to the LLM. Thus, reducing visual redundancy at the encoder stage not only speeds up the encoder itself but also significantly lightens the workload for the subsequent LLM. Motivated by this, we investigate how to jointly optimize the image encoder and the LLM along with other LVLM components for comprehensive acceleration. To mitigate the risk of performance degradation from token reduction, we propose a novel token merging strategy that recycles useful information from otherwise discarded tokens. Our approach, iLLaVA, delivers consistent improvements across both image and video understanding tasks, achieving up to a 2 times throughput boost and a 4 times reduction in prefilling time. Notably, iLLaVA enables a larger model (e.g., InternVL-2.5 26B) to surpass a smaller counterpart (e.g., InternVL-2.5 8B) in both accuracy and efficiency. Extensive comparisons with state-of-the-art token pruning and merging techniques demonstrate the clear superiority of our method. Finally, we provide detailed visualizations for the merging steps of iLLaVA , offering deeper insights into how different LVLM components contribute to efficient computation.

Thinking in Uncertainty: Mitigating Hallucinations in MLRMs with Latent Entropy-Aware Decoding

Recent advancements in multimodal large reasoning models (MLRMs) have significantly improved performance in visual question answering. However, we observe that transition words (e.g., because, however, and wait) are closely associated with hallucinations and tend to exhibit high-entropy states. We argue that adequate contextual reasoning information can be directly extracted from the token probability distribution. Inspired by superposed representation theory, we propose leveraging latent superposed reasoning to integrate multiple candidate semantics and maintain latent reasoning trajectories. The hypothesis is that reliance on discrete textual inputs may drive the model toward sequential explicit reasoning, underutilizing dense contextual cues during high-entropy reasoning stages. Therefore, we propose constructing rich semantic representations from the token probability distributions to enhance in-context reasoning. With this goal, we present Latent Entropy-Aware Decoding (LEAD), an efficient plug-and-play decoding strategy that leverages semantic context to achieve reliable reasoning. The heart of our method lies in entropy-aware reasoning mode switching. The model employs probability-weighted continuous embeddings under high-entropy states and transitions back to discrete token embeddings as entropy decreases. Moreover, we propose a prior-guided visual anchor injection strategy that encourages the model to focus on visual information. Extensive experiments show that LEAD effectively mitigates hallucinations across various MLRMs on multiple benchmarks.
