A Locking-free and Loosely Coupled Robin-Robin Scheme for Fluid-Poroelasticity Interaction

We study a fluid-poroelasticity interaction (FPSI) problem coupling the unsteady Stokes equations with the fully dynamic Biot system. A major challenge in such problems is to design partitioned schemes that remain robust in locking-related parameter regimes while preserving the physical interface coupling structure.To address this issue, we introduce two auxiliary variables and reformulate the Biot system as a four-field problem consisting of a dynamic Stokes-like system coupled with a diffusion equation. Crucially, this reformulation preserves the original interface conditions. Based on Robin-Robin transmission conditions with explicitly lagged interface data, we construct a fully decoupled scheme in which the fluid and poroelastic subproblems can be solved independently and in parallel at each time step, without sub-iterations.We prove that the resulting method is unconditionally stable and derive optimal-order error estimates in the $H^1$-norm. The analysis further shows that the scheme is robust with respect to extreme poroelastic parameters and avoids the locking effects inherent in standard formulations. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical convergence results and demonstrate the locking-robust performance of the proposed method.

LongCat-Next: Lexicalizing Modalities as Discrete Tokens

The prevailing Next-Token Prediction (NTP) paradigm has driven the success of large language models through discrete autoregressive modeling. However, contemporary multimodal systems remain language-centric, often treating non-linguistic modalities as external attachments, leading to fragmented architectures and suboptimal integration. To transcend this limitation, we introduce Discrete Native Autoregressive (DiNA), a unified framework that represents multimodal information within a shared discrete space, enabling a consistent and principled autoregressive modeling across modalities. A key innovation is the Discrete Native Any-resolution Visual Transformer (dNaViT), which performs tokenization and de-tokenization at arbitrary resolutions, transforming continuous visual signals into hierarchical discrete tokens. Building on this foundation, we develop LongCat-Next, a native multimodal model that processes text, vision, and audio under a single autoregressive objective with minimal modality-specific design. As an industrial-strength foundation model, it excels at seeing, painting, and talking within a single framework, achieving strong performance across a wide range of multimodal benchmarks. In particular, LongCat-Next addresses the long-standing performance ceiling of discrete vision modeling on understanding tasks and provides a unified approach to effectively reconcile the conflict between understanding and generation. As an attempt toward native multimodality, we open-source the LongCat-Next and its tokenizers, hoping to foster further research and development in the community.

Bridging Vision and Language for Robust Context-Aware Surgical Point Tracking: The VL-SurgPT Dataset and Benchmark

Accurate point tracking in surgical environments remains challenging due to complex visual conditions, including smoke occlusion, specular reflections, and tissue deformation. While existing surgical tracking datasets provide coordinate information, they lack the semantic context necessary to understand tracking failure mechanisms. We introduce VL-SurgPT, the first large-scale multimodal dataset that bridges visual tracking with textual descriptions of point status in surgical scenes. The dataset comprises 908 in vivo video clips, including 754 for tissue tracking (17,171 annotated points across five challenging scenarios) and 154 for instrument tracking (covering seven instrument types with detailed keypoint annotations). We establish comprehensive benchmarks using eight state-of-the-art tracking methods and propose TG-SurgPT, a text-guided tracking approach that leverages semantic descriptions to improve robustness in visually challenging conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that incorporating point status information significantly improves tracking accuracy and reliability, particularly in adverse visual scenarios where conventional vision-only methods struggle. By bridging visual and linguistic modalities, VL-SurgPT enables the development of context-aware tracking systems crucial for advancing computer-assisted surgery applications that can maintain performance even under challenging intraoperative conditions.

LongCat-Flash-Omni Technical Report

We introduce LongCat-Flash-Omni, a state-of-the-art open-source omni-modal model with 560 billion parameters, excelling at real-time audio-visual interaction. By adopting a curriculum-inspired progressive training strategy that transitions from simpler to increasingly complex modality sequence modeling tasks, LongCat-Flash-Omni attains comprehensive multimodal capabilities while maintaining strong unimodal capability. Building upon LongCat-Flash, which adopts a high-performance Shortcut-connected Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with zero-computation experts, LongCat-Flash-Omni integrates efficient multimodal perception and speech reconstruction modules. Despite its immense size of 560B parameters (with 27B activated), LongCat-Flash-Omni achieves low-latency real-time audio-visual interaction. For training infrastructure, we developed a modality-decoupled parallelism scheme specifically designed to manage the data and model heterogeneity inherent in large-scale multimodal training. This innovative approach demonstrates exceptional efficiency by sustaining over 90% of the throughput achieved by text-only training. Extensive evaluations show that LongCat-Flash-Omni achieves state-of-the-art performance on omni-modal benchmarks among open-source models. Furthermore, it delivers highly competitive results across a wide range of modality-specific tasks, including text, image, and video understanding, as well as audio understanding and generation. We provide a comprehensive overview of the model architecture design, training procedures, and data strategies, and open-source the model to foster future research and development in the community.

Point Tracking in Surgery--The 2024 Surgical Tattoos in Infrared (STIR) Challenge

Understanding tissue motion in surgery is crucial to enable applications in downstream tasks such as segmentation, 3D reconstruction, virtual tissue landmarking, autonomous probe-based scanning, and subtask autonomy. Labeled data are essential to enabling algorithms in these downstream tasks since they allow us to quantify and train algorithms. This paper introduces a point tracking challenge to address this, wherein participants can submit their algorithms for quantification. The submitted algorithms are evaluated using a dataset named surgical tattoos in infrared (STIR), with the challenge aptly named the STIR Challenge 2024. The STIR Challenge 2024 comprises two quantitative components: accuracy and efficiency. The accuracy component tests the accuracy of algorithms on in vivo and ex vivo sequences. The efficiency component tests the latency of algorithm inference. The challenge was conducted as a part of MICCAI EndoVis 2024. In this challenge, we had 8 total teams, with 4 teams submitting before and 4 submitting after challenge day. This paper details the STIR Challenge 2024, which serves to move the field towards more accurate and efficient algorithms for spatial understanding in surgery. In this paper we summarize the design, submissions, and results from the challenge. The challenge dataset is available here: https://zenodo.org/records/14803158 , and the code for baseline models and metric calculation is available here: https://github.com/athaddius/STIRMetrics

Endo-TTAP: Robust Endoscopic Tissue Tracking via Multi-Facet Guided Attention and Hybrid Flow-point Supervision

Accurate tissue point tracking in endoscopic videos is critical for robotic-assisted surgical navigation and scene understanding, but remains challenging due to complex deformations, instrument occlusion, and the scarcity of dense trajectory annotations. Existing methods struggle with long-term tracking under these conditions due to limited feature utilization and annotation dependence. We present Endo-TTAP, a novel framework addressing these challenges through: (1) A Multi-Facet Guided Attention (MFGA) module that synergizes multi-scale flow dynamics, DINOv2 semantic embeddings, and explicit motion patterns to jointly predict point positions with uncertainty and occlusion awareness; (2) A two-stage curriculum learning strategy employing an Auxiliary Curriculum Adapter (ACA) for progressive initialization and hybrid supervision. Stage I utilizes synthetic data with optical flow ground truth for uncertainty-occlusion regularization, while Stage II combines unsupervised flow consistency and semi-supervised learning with refined pseudo-labels from off-the-shelf trackers. Extensive validation on two MICCAI Challenge datasets and our collected dataset demonstrates that Endo-TTAP achieves state-of-the-art performance in tissue point tracking, particularly in scenarios characterized by complex endoscopic conditions. The source code and dataset will be available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/Endo-TTAP-36E5.

Improving the Stability of GNN Force Field Models by Reducing Feature Correlation

Recently, Graph Neural Network based Force Field (GNNFF) models are widely used in Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation, which is one of the most cost-effective means in semiconductor material research. However, even such models provide high accuracy in energy and force Mean Absolute Error (MAE) over trained (in-distribution) datasets, they often become unstable during long-time MD simulation when used for out-of-distribution datasets. In this paper, we propose a feature correlation based method for GNNFF models to enhance the stability of MD simulation. We reveal the negative relationship between feature correlation and the stability of GNNFF models, and design a loss function with a dynamic loss coefficient scheduler to reduce edge feature correlation that can be applied in general GNNFF training. We also propose an empirical metric to evaluate the stability in MD simulation. Experiments show our method can significantly improve stability for GNNFF models especially in out-of-distribution data with less than 3% computational overhead. For example, we can ensure the stable MD simulation time from 0.03ps to 10ps for Allegro model.

The simulation demonstrates that the self-packaged microcavity can effectively mitigate the potential impact of conventional field emission transistors on surrounding solid-state circuits, thereby improving the frequency performance and stability of the device.

A new multiphysics finite element method for a Biot model with secondary consolidation

In this paper, we propose a new multiphysics finite element method for a Biot model with secondary consolidation in soil dynamics. To better describe the processes of deformation and diffusion underlying in the original model, we reformulate Biot model by a new multiphysics approach, which transforms the fluid-solid coupled problem to a fluid coupled problem--a generalized Stokes problem and a diffusion problem. Then, we give the energy law and prior error estimate of the weak solution. And we design a fully discrete time-stepping scheme to use mixed finite element method for $P_2-P_1-P_1$ element pairs to approximate the space variables and backward Euler method for the time variable, and we prove the discrete energy laws and the optimal convergence order error estimates. Also, we show some numerical examples to verify the theoretical results. Finally, we draw a conclusion to summarize the main results of this paper.

Also, we derive the discrete energy laws and the optimal convergence order error estimates without any assumption on the nonlinear stress-strain relation. Finally, we show some numerical examples to verify the rationality of theoretical analysis and there is no "locking phenomenon".

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of weak solution of a nonlinear poroelasticity model. To better describe the proccess of deformation and diffusion underlying in the original model, we firstly reformulate the nonlinear poroelasticity by a multiphysics approach. Then, we adopt the similar technique of proving the well-posedness of nonlinear Stokes equations to prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solution of a nonlinear poroelasticity model. And we strictly prove the growth, coercivity and monotonicity of the nonlinear stress-strain relation, give the energy estimates and use Schauder's fixed point theorem to show the existence and uniqueness of weak solution of the nonlinear poroelasticity model.
