IntentReact: Guiding Reactive Object-Centric Navigation via Topological Intent

Object-goal visual navigation requires robots to reason over semantic structure and act effectively under partial observability. Recent approaches based on object-level topological maps enable long-horizon navigation without dense geometric reconstruction, but their execution remains limited by the gap between global topological guidance and local perception-driven control. In particular, local decisions are made solely from the current egocentric observation, without access to information beyond the robot's field of view. As a result, the robot may persist along its current heading even when initially oriented away from the goal, moving toward directions that do not decrease the global topological distance. In this work, we propose IntentReact, an intent-conditioned object-centric navigation framework that introduces a compact interface between global topological planning and reactive object-centric control. Our approach encodes global topological guidance as a low-dimensional directional signal, termed intent, which conditions a learned waypoint prediction policy to bias navigation toward topologically consistent progression. This design enables the robot to promptly reorient when local observations are misleading, guiding motion toward directions that decrease global topological distance while preserving the reactivity and robustness of object-centric control. We evaluate the proposed framework through extensive experiments, demonstrating improved navigation success and execution quality compared to prior object-centric navigation methods.

DAMSDAN: Distribution-Aware Multi-Source Domain Adaptation Network for Cross-Domain EEG-based Emotion Recognition

Significant inter-individual variability limits the generalization of EEG-based emotion recognition under cross-domain settings. We address two core challenges in multi-source adaptation: (1) dynamically modeling distributional heterogeneity across sources and quantifying their relevance to a target to reduce negative transfer; and (2) achieving fine-grained semantic consistency to strengthen class discrimination. We propose a distribution-aware multi-source domain adaptation network (DAMSDAN). DAMSDAN integrates prototype-based constraints with adversarial learning to drive the encoder toward discriminative, domain-invariant emotion representations. A domain-aware source weighting strategy based on maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) dynamically estimates inter-domain shifts and reweights source contributions. In addition, a prototype-guided conditional alignment module with dual pseudo-label interaction enhances pseudo-label reliability and enables category-level, fine-grained alignment, mitigating noise propagation and semantic drift. Experiments on SEED and SEED-IV show average accuracies of 94.86\% and 79.78\% for cross-subject, and 95.12\% and 83.15\% for cross-session protocols. On the large-scale FACED dataset, DAMSDAN achieves 82.88\% (cross-subject). Extensive ablations and interpretability analyses corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed framework for cross-domain EEG-based emotion recognition.
