PACE-MoE: Adaptive Domain Sampling and Domain-Specific LoRA for Medical Visual Grounding

Medical visual grounding requires models to align clinical descriptions with spatial evidence across heterogeneous imaging domains. However, existing multi-domain post-training strategies typically rely on fixed domain sampling and shared parameter updates, overlooking the need to adapt both which domains receive training and where their updates are applied. To address this issue, we propose PACE-MoE, a policy-guided framework that jointly performs adaptive domain sampling and domain-specific adaptation for medical visual grounding. PACE dynamically assesses the training value of each imaging domain from current-policy feedback and progressively adjusts domain coverage through domain admission, replay, and final all-domain balancing. Meanwhile, domain-specific LoRA adapters route updates to the corresponding imaging domains while preserving the pretrained backbone and visual encoder. This coordinated design aligns training-data allocation with parameter adaptation without modifying the original reward formulation or Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) objective. Experiments across seven medical imaging domains show that PACE-MoE consistently improves grounding performance over fixed-domain training, achieving a 3.64% relative improvement in mean box IoU over the Vanilla baseline. Under matched domain-specific adapter architectures, adaptive sampling alone further improves mean box IoU by 2.07%, demonstrating the benefit of policy-guided domain allocation. These results establish coordinated data-parameter routing as an effective strategy for multi-domain medical visual grounding.

FIT-MAC: A Closed-Loop Multi-Agent Framework for Robust Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-language-action (VLA) models have achieved strong performance on standard robotic manipulation benchmarks. However, their reliability can degrade substantially when task conditions deviate from the nominal setting. Perturbations in object positions and task instructions may lead to complete task failure. Existing VLA policies generally lack an explicit runtime mechanism for distinguishing these failure modes and selecting an appropriate recovery strategy. To systematically mitigate this issue, we propose FIT-MAC, a failure-aware, closed-loop multi-agent control framework for improving the robustness of VLA policies at inference time. FIT-MAC augments a VLA policy with an inference-time control layer. First, the Planner Agent parses the language instruction into a structured task specification that captures the manipulation goal and spatial constraints, and the Grounder Agent resolves each instruction-level reference to a visual target. Next, the Verifier Agent tracks phase-specific execution progress, distinguishes target-binding errors from local execution failures, and determines whether intervention is warranted. The Correction Agent then routes permitted interventions to target rebinding or bounded grasping or placement recovery, depending on the failure type. When no intervention is required, the pretrained VLA remains the default action generator. Extensive experiments on LIBERO-PRO demonstrate that FIT-MAC improves robustness across multiple VLA backbones, consistently increasing success rates and achieving state-of-the-art performance under diverse perturbations.

DRA-SAM: Disagreement-Driven Referential Active SAM for Low-Altitude Drone Referring Segmentation

Referring segmentation in low-altitude drone imagery requires distinguishing small, visually similar instances under complex linguistic and spatial constraints. Global inference may yield multiple plausible masks or leave the intended referent insufficiently represented, motivating selective local re-inference. We propose DRA-SAM, a disagreement-driven framework that allocates an additional inference pass according to competing referential hypotheses and an unresolved state. A lightweight EvidenceScorer estimates beliefs over existing candidates and the unresolved state. A training-free Referential Disagreement LOOK policy balances belief-weighted candidate competition and unresolved-region coverage to select a crop for local re-inference. The same benchmark-adapted SAM3-I backbone processes the selected region, and the resulting evidence updates existing hypotheses and introduces new candidates. Among the compared methods, DRA-SAM achieves state-of-the-art performance on six of seven test metrics on both RIS-LAD and UAVid-RIS, including mIoU and P@0.5-P@0.9, and on all seven RIS-LAD validation metrics. On RIS-LAD, DRA-SAM improves the matched global SAM3-I baseline from 49.55 to 52.34 mIoU and from 46.80 to 58.05 P@0.5. On UAVid-RIS, the independently adapted DRA-SAM achieves 73.26 mIoU and 86.86 P@0.5. Controlled crop-policy comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness of disagreement-guided crop selection, while target-size analysis reveals particularly pronounced gains for aerial targets occupying less than 1% of an image. These results establish referential disagreement as an effective criterion for allocating local inference. Code is available at https://github.com/phy709/DRA-SAM.

DualAffect: Dual-Path Paralinguistic Integration for Generative Audiovisual Emotion Understanding

Understanding human emotion is essential for multimodal systems that interpret both the content of an interaction and the speaker's expressive state. However, connecting paralinguistic cues to generated answers remains challenging, particularly when vocal expression diverges from visual appearance. We propose DualAffect, a dual-path architecture that integrates visually conditioned acoustic features and temporally organized acoustic tokens into a shared language decoder. The two pathways reuse the same acoustic encoding. The fusion pathway associates sound with visual content through visual queries, while the direct pathway compresses the valid acoustic sequence into ordered tokens through an independent projector. This design gives the decoder access to both joint audiovisual context and acoustic evidence organized along its own timeline. Mixed-task adaptation with task-dependent output preservation supports emotion recognition and general audiovisual question answering within the same model. DualAffect achieves an average metric of 67.89 on CA-MER and accuracies of 62.88% on the EmotionTalk test set and 49.87% on Daily-Omni. Pathway interventions show that the trained decoder uses direct acoustic evidence alongside existing fusion. With model parameters and fusion inputs fixed, zeroing the direct tokens reduces EmotionTalk validation accuracy by 9.75 percentage points and the CA-MER average metric by 2.66 points. The largest CA-MER subset effect occurs when the overall emotion agrees with audio but differs from vision. These findings identify acoustic representation organization as a practical design axis for connecting paralinguistic perception to unified audiovisual generation.

An elementary note on three consecutive powerful numbers

In the recent work by T. H. Chan, it was shown that there are no three consecutive powerful numbers with the middle term a perfect cube and each of the other two having only a single prime factor raised to an odd power. They get it with Pell equations, elliptic curves, and second-order recurrences. In this paper, with results given by Nagell-Ljunggren, Lebesgue, Ko and some elementary methods, we extend the result to similar cases, whose middle term can be perfect powers for infinitely many powers. With this conclusion, we discuss the solutions to some Diophantine equations.

Impact of Residual Angular Chirp in a Petawatt-class Laser System on Laser-driven Proton Acceleration

Laser-driven proton acceleration has attracted considerable interest owing to its appealing potential in versatile applications including cancer therapy. Proton energies depend critically on the on-target intensities, yet the detrimental impact of focal spot degradation induced by spatiotemporal couplings on the acceleration remains insufficiently elucidated. In this study, we demonstrate that residual angular chirp (AC), stemming from minor misalignments of the grating compressor in a Petawatt-class laser system, acts as a critical bottleneck for proton acceleration. Experimental results reveal that even around 100 microradians of grating misalignment induces substantial focal-spot elongation and a pronounced reduction in peak intensity. By implementing an in situ spectral-blocking diagnostic, we effectively eliminated the residual AC and restored a near-diffraction-limited focus. This optimization led to a significant recovery of the on-target intensity, resulting in a twofold increase in the proton cutoff energy. Our work presents a successful demonstration of diagnosing and eliminating residual AC. This provides a practical reference for generating high-energy proton beams and supporting their diverse applications in a PW-class laser.

Gene Expression-Informed Jointly Controlled Generative Modeling for Precision Molecular Design

Precision molecular design aims to discover personalized drug candidates through joint control of multiple conditions, such as biological relevance and molecular design strategies. Biological relevance reflects cellular functional states under disease or perturbation conditions, while molecular design strategies provide complementary guidance in terms of structural intentions and property optimization. In this study, we propose JoPMol, a jointly controlled precision molecular generative model that integrates biological states encoded by gene expression profiles with molecular structure information expressed in text, and chemical properties quantified by numerical values within a unified modeling framework. This formulation enables coordinated generation and optimization of candidate molecules under joint condition control. Experimental results show that JoPMol outperforms state-of-the-art methods across multiple evaluation metrics. Moreover, JoPMol demonstrates strong generalization ability in both transfer tasks and biologically grounded simulation scenarios, validating its effectiveness for precision molecular design. The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/hala-yh/JoPMol.

HotLoop Optimization of Petawatt Laser Focal Spot via a Twin-Focus Scheme

Achieving diffraction-limited focusing of high-power laser pulses to generate ultra-high intensities is crucial for developing compact laser-driven particle accelerators and exploring strong-field quantum electrodynamics. However, accurately diagnosing and optimizing the focal spots of petawatt (PW) laser pulses remains a significant challenge. In this work, we present an experimental methodology utilizing a twin-focus scheme to precisely characterize the intensity distribution and wavefront of focused PW femtosecond laser pulses, and employ it to elucidate their power-dependent evolution. Furthermore, we optimized the focal spots at full power via our in-situ wavefront correction method termed ``HotLoop', achieving a Strehl ratio of 0.80 for 1 PW laser pulses. Consequently, the cutoff proton energies in laser proton acceleration experiments were significantly enhanced. The success of this approach underscores the necessity of in-situ high-energy wavefront correction for ultra-high intensity laser-matter interactions.

Sub-50 Picosecond exceptionally Bright Perovskite Scintillation by Unlocking Giant Oscillator Strength

Ultrafast scintillators are indispensable for precise timing in high-energy physics and medical diagnostics. Fundamentally constrained by the trade-off between emission rate and light yield, conventional scintillators remain kinetically trapped in the sub-nanosecond regime, failing to break 50-picosecond limit. Here, we demonstrate a strategy to bypass this limitation by harnessing the coherent radiative acceleration in weakly confined CsPbCl3 perovskite nanocrystals to generate an ultrafast photon burst. This effect originates from the giant oscillator strength, which we unlock by suppressing exciton-phonon scattering at mild cryogenic temperatures. Consequently, our scintillator achieves an unprecedented dominant lifetime of 13.11 ps alongside a high light yield of 21,851 ph/MeV. The resulting prompt photon emission rate more than 100 times higher than that of state-of-the-art ultrafast scintillators. We validate this breakthrough in realistic detection scenarios, achieving a coincidence time resolution of 30.8 ps and accurately resolving 13.5 ps electron bunches and 16.6 ps single-shot gamma-ray pulses. Our findings establish a robust coherent framework for next-generation ultrafast scintillators, pushing extreme radiation diagnostics into the picosecond frontier.

A Spatial-Resolved Proton Energy Spectrometer Based on a Scintillation-Fiber Cube

Advanced particle acceleration methods have produced high-peak-current ion beams with broad energy spread and complex spatial distribution. There is an urgent need to develop online spatial-resolved energy spectrometers for high-energy pulsed ions. This paper introduces a novel spectrometer based on a scintillation-fiber cube for online diagnosis of proton beams with broadband energy spread and complex spatial distribution. We present its working principles, experimental setup, and comprehensive calibration using monoenergetic and spatially uniform proton beams generated by a synchrotron accelerator. Calibration results confirm an energy measurement range of 6-93 MeV, a relative energy uncertainty of 0.6% at 80 MeV, and a pixel size of 0.5 mm for beam profile reconstruction. By exploiting a custom-designed energy degrader, we generated a complex proton beam and measured it with the scintillation-fiber cube spectrometer (SFICS). The results demonstrate the spectrometer's potential for online measurement of the energy spectrum and spatial distribution of complex proton beams.

Nonreciprocal spin wave in room-temperature van der Waals ferromagnet $(\rm Fe_{0.78}Co_{0.22})_{5}GeTe_{2}$

Here, we investigate the spin waves in room-temperature van der Waals ferromagnet $(\rm Fe_{0.78}Co_{0.22})_{5}GeTe_{2}$ by utilizing Brillouin light scattering technique. The spin wave dispersion in flakes of different thicknesses shows the key role of dipolar interaction in the spin waves of vdW ferromagnets, and the non-reciprocity of spin wave in thick flakes is observed, which is attributed to the bulk Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction after excluding the influence of dynamic dipolar interaction. The measured bulk DMI parameter D is 0.08 $\rm mJ/m^2$, which is double that of pure $\rm Fe_5GeTe_2$. Our work shows that Co-doped $\rm Fe_5GeTe_2$ is a promising platform for investigating propagating spin wave and topological spin textures at room temperature.

Kernel Representation and Similarity Measure for Incomplete Data

Measuring similarity between incomplete data is a fundamental challenge in web mining, recommendation systems, and user behavior analysis. Traditional approaches either discard incomplete data or perform imputation as a preprocessing step, leading to information loss and biased similarity estimates. This paper presents the proximity kernel, a new similarity measure that directly computes similarity between incomplete data in kernel feature space without explicit imputation in the original space. The proposed method introduces data-dependent binning combined with proximity assignment to project data into a high-dimensional sparse representation that adapts to local density variations. For missing value handling, we propose a cascading fallback strategy to estimate missing feature distributions. We conduct clustering tasks on the proposed kernel representation across 12 real world incomplete datasets, demonstrating superior performance compared to existing methods while maintaining linear time complexity. All the code are available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/proximity-kernel-2289.

FNBT: Full Negation Belief Transformation for Open-World Information Fusion Based on Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence

The Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence has been widely applied in the field of information fusion under uncertainty. Most existing research focuses on combining evidence within the same frame of discernment. However, in real-world scenarios, trained algorithms or data often originate from different regions or organizations, where data silos are prevalent. As a result, using different data sources or models to generate basic probability assignments may lead to heterogeneous frames, for which traditional fusion methods often yield unsatisfactory results. To address this challenge, this study proposes an open-world information fusion method, termed Full Negation Belief Transformation (FNBT), based on the Dempster-Shafer theory. More specially, a criterion is introduced to determine whether a given fusion task belongs to the open-world setting. Then, by extending the frames, the method can accommodate elements from heterogeneous frames. Finally, a full negation mechanism is employed to transform the mass functions, so that existing combination rules can be applied to the transformed mass functions for such information fusion. Theoretically, the proposed method satisfies three desirable properties, which are formally proven: mass function invariance, heritability, and essential conflict elimination. Empirically, FNBT demonstrates superior performance in pattern classification tasks on real-world datasets and successfully resolves Zadeh's counterexample, thereby validating its practical effectiveness.

TextOmics-Guided Diffusion for Hit-like Molecular Generation

Hit-like molecular generation with therapeutic potential is essential for target-specific drug discovery. However, the field lacks heterogeneous data and unified frameworks for integrating diverse molecular representations. To bridge this gap, we introduce TextOmics, a pioneering benchmark that establishes one-to-one correspondences between omics expressions and molecular textual descriptions. TextOmics provides a heterogeneous dataset that facilitates molecular generation through representations alignment. Built upon this foundation, we propose ToDi, a generative framework that jointly conditions on omics expressions and molecular textual descriptions to produce biologically relevant, chemically valid, hit-like molecules. ToDi leverages two encoders (OmicsEn and TextEn) to capture multi-level biological and semantic associations, and develops conditional diffusion (DiffGen) for controllable generation. Extensive experiments confirm the effectiveness of TextOmics and demonstrate ToDi outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches, while also showcasing remarkable potential in zero-shot therapeutic molecular generation.

Symbolic identification of tensor equations in multidimensional physical fields

Recently, data-driven methods have shown great promise for discovering governing equations from simulation or experimental data. However, most existing approaches are limited to scalar equations, with few capable of identifying tensor relationships. In this work, we propose a general data-driven framework for identifying tensor equations, referred to as Symbolic Identification of Tensor Equations (SITE). The core idea of SITE--representing tensor equations using a host-plasmid structure--is inspired by the multidimensional gene expression programming (M-GEP) approach. To improve the robustness of the evolutionary process, SITE adopts a genetic information retention strategy. Moreover, SITE introduces two key innovations beyond conventional evolutionary algorithms. First, it incorporates a dimensional homogeneity check to restrict the search space and eliminate physically invalid expressions. Second, it replaces traditional linear scaling with a tensor linear regression technique, greatly enhancing the efficiency of numerical coefficient optimization. We validate SITE using two benchmark scenarios, where it accurately recovers target equations from synthetic data, showing robustness to noise and small sample sizes. Furthermore, SITE is applied to identify constitutive relations directly from molecular simulation data, which are generated without reliance on macroscopic constitutive models. It adapts to both compressible and incompressible flow conditions and successfully identifies the corresponding macroscopic forms, highlighting its potential for data-driven discovery of tensor equation.

CmFNet: Cross-modal Fusion Network for Weakly-supervised Segmentation of Medical Images

Accurate automatic medical image segmentation relies on high-quality, dense annotations, which are costly and time-consuming. Weakly supervised learning provides a more efficient alternative by leveraging sparse and coarse annotations instead of dense, precise ones. However, segmentation performance degradation and overfitting caused by sparse annotations remain key challenges. To address these issues, we propose CmFNet, a novel 3D weakly supervised cross-modal medical image segmentation approach. CmFNet consists of three main components: a modality-specific feature learning network, a cross-modal feature learning network, and a hybrid-supervised learning strategy. Specifically, the modality-specific feature learning network and the cross-modal feature learning network effectively integrate complementary information from multi-modal images, enhancing shared features across modalities to improve segmentation performance. Additionally, the hybrid-supervised learning strategy guides segmentation through scribble supervision, intra-modal regularization, and inter-modal consistency, modeling spatial and contextual relationships while promoting feature alignment. Our approach effectively mitigates overfitting, delivering robust segmentation results. It excels in segmenting both challenging small tumor regions and common anatomical structures. Extensive experiments on a clinical cross-modal nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) dataset (including CT and MR imaging) and the publicly available CT Whole Abdominal Organ dataset (WORD) show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art weakly supervised methods. In addition, our approach also outperforms fully supervised methods when full annotation is used. Our approach can facilitate clinical therapy and benefit various specialists, including physicists, radiologists, pathologists, and oncologists.

A Simplifying and Learnable Graph Convolutional Attention Network for Unsupervised Knowledge Graphs Alignment

The success of current Entity Alignment (EA) task depends largely on the supervision information provided by labeled data. Considering the cost of labeled data, most supervised methods are difficult to apply in practical scenarios. Therefore, more and more works based on contrastive learning, active learning or other deep learning techniques have been developed, to solve the performance bottleneck caused by the lack of labeled data. However, the existing unsupervised EA methods still have some limitations, either their modeling complexity is high or they cannot balance the effectiveness and practicality of alignment. To overcome these issues, we propose a Simplifying and Learnable graph convolutional attention network for Unsupervised Knowledge Graphs alignment method (SLU). Specifically, we first introduce LCAT, a new and simple framework as the backbone network to model the graph structure of two KGs. Then we design a reconstruction method of relation structure based on potential matching relations for efficiently filtering invalid neighborhood information of aligned entities, to improve the usability and scalability of SLU. Impressively, a similarity function based on consistency is proposed to better measure the similarity of candidate entity pairs. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on three datasets of different sizes (15K and 100K) and different types (cross-lingual and monolingual) to verify the superiority of SLU. Experimental results show that SLU significantly improves alignment accuracy, outperforming 25 supervised or unsupervised methods, and improving 6.4% in Hits@1 over the best baseline in the best case.

Investigation of magnon behavior in YIG film under microwave excitation using Brillouin light scattering

We utilize conventional wave-vector-resolved Brillouin light scattering technology to investigate the spin wave response in YIG thin films under high-power microwave excitation. By varying the microwave frequency, external bias magnetic field, and in-plane wave vector, in addition to observing the dipole-exchange spin waves excited by parallel parametric pumping, we further observe broadband spin wave excitation within the dipole-exchange spin wave spectrum. This broadband excitation results from the combined effects of parallel and perpendicular parametric pumping, induced by irregularities in the excitation geometry, as well as magnon-magnon scattering arising from the absence of certain spin wave modes. Our findings offer new insights into the mechanisms of energy dissipation and relaxation processes caused by spin wave excitation in magnetic devices operating at high power.
