Characterization of a class of complete permutation quadrinomials over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{2m}}$

Let $q=2^m$, $Q=2^k$, and $1\leq k\leq m-1$. We characterize complete permutation polynomials (CPPs) over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ of the form \[ f(x)=c_0x^{Q+1}+c_1x^{Q+q}+c_2x^{qQ+1} +c_3x^{q(Q+1)},\qquad c_i\in\mathbb{F}_{q^2}. \] We prove that no such CPP exists when $k>1$, and recover the known characterization in the cubic case $k=1$. This completes the classification throughout the stated exponent range. The proof uses the known permutation classification to reduce completeness to linear perturbations of product and monomial models. The required nonpermutation results follow from direct elementary arguments based on the quadratic structure over $\mathbb{F}_2$.

Elementary magnons and interacting multi-magnon quasiparticles in the effective spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ kagome-staircase magnet Co$_{3}$V$_{2}$O$_{8}$

The excitation spectrum of an anisotropic magnet provides a direct link between its microscopic Hamiltonian and interaction-driven quasiparticles. Here we use high-resolution time-domain terahertz spectroscopy to map the magnetic excitations of the three-dimensional kagome-staircase compound Co$_{3}$V$_{2}$O$_{8}$ as functions of temperature and magnetic field. At low energies, polarization-resolved spectra identify magnetic-dipole-active one-magnon modes and track their evolution across the ferromagnetic and spin-density-wave phases. Combining their field dependence with previously reported inelastic-neutron-scattering dispersions, we determine an effective spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Hamiltonian with strongly anisotropic exchange that quantitatively reproduces the one-magnon spectrum. This model provides a noninteracting benchmark for the high-energy response, where we observe sharp branches with field slopes that are two to four times those of the one-magnon modes, together with anticrossings between branches of different magnon numbers. Their sharpness, polarization dependence, and departure from the calculated multi-magnon continua identify them as interacting multi-magnon quasiparticles that can be stabilized by strong exchange anisotropy.

The First EgoCross Challenge at EgoVis 2026: Cross-Domain Egocentric Video Question Answering

EgoCross is a cross-domain egocentric video question answering benchmark designed to evaluate whether multimodal large language models can generalize beyond common daily-life scenarios. The first EgoCross Challenge was hosted at the Third EgoVis Workshop at CVPR 2026 and evaluated models on first-person videos from four target domains: surgery, industrial assembly, extreme sports, and animal perspectives. Each test example consists of an egocentric video clip, a question, and four candidate answers, from which the model must select the correct option. This technical report introduces the challenge task, benchmark resources, and two official Codabench tracks. The Source-Limited Track restricts participants to the official baseline model and a small support set, whereas the Open-Source Track permits broader choices of models and training data under rules that prohibit the manual construction of target-domain training data. In total, the challenge received more than 1,500 submissions from over 130 participants, with 19 teams participating in the Open-Source Track and 38 teams in the Source-Limited Track. We further present the official leaderboard results and summarize the winning solutions from both tracks. We hope that this report will serve as a useful technical reference for advancing cross-domain egocentric video understanding. All resources, including the challenge data, baseline implementation, and code released by the winning teams, are made publicly available.

Learning Mechanistic Reasoning for Chemical Reactions with Large Language Models

Reaction mechanisms consist of the step-by-step sequences of elementary reactions that explain chemical transformations. Learning the mechanism logic is therefore essential for enhancing the fundamental chemical intelligence of large language models (LLMs). The stepwise deduction of reaction mechanism aligns naturally with the reasoning paradigms of reasoning LLMs. However, current chemical LLMs primarily emphasize coarse-grained name reactions for product prediction and retrosynthesis, often leading to physical inconsistencies and hallucinations. In contrast, specialized small-scale generative models for mechanism inference typically suffer from restricted generalization capacity across diverse chemical spaces. To overcome these limitations, we built a novel, large-scale reasoning dataset of reaction mechanisms. Furthermore, we established the FukuyamaBench, a difficult benchmark derived from Fukuyama's Advanced Organic Reaction Mechanism book, to rigorously evaluate model performance on hierarchical mechanism reasoning. Our fine-tuned Qwen3-30B-A3B achieves 8.3% exact pathway match on FukuyamaBench Set~A, surpassing the specialized FlowER model (5.1%), demonstrating that mechanism-aware training substantially enhances chemical reasoning in language models.

Spectral Heat Flow for Conservative Token Condensation in Vision-Language Models

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are costly at inference time because they must process long sequences of visual tokens. Existing token pruning methods often degrade under high compression by blindly discarding information, breaking spatial structure or collapsing diversity. We propose SpecFlow, a training-free framework that shifts the paradigm from destructive pruning to conservative condensation, strictly enforcing spatial coverage and statistical conservation to ensure stability. Treating visual tokens as nodes in a $k$NN graph, SpecFlow (i) computes a stable importance field via spectral heat flow to preserve structural coherence, (ii) allocates budgets via adaptive spatial partitioning to guarantee coverage, and (iii) aggregates discarded information into coreset sinks to maintain statistical conservation. The method is plug-and-play, requires no fine-tuning, and is compatible with FlashAttention. Experiments confirm that our SpecFlow outperforms SOTA methods across tasks, VLM architectures, and pruning ratios. Notably, LLaVA-1.5 with SpecFlow retains 95.6% of original performance despite pruning 88.9% of visual tokens, offering an exceptional efficiency-accuracy balance.

DragMesh-2: Physically Plausible Dexterous Hand-Object Interaction with Articulated Objects

Dexterous interaction with articulated objects is important for household, assistive, and humanoid manipulation, where multi-finger hands can provide compliant contact patterns beyond parallel-jaw grasping. However, articulated-object manipulation differs from static-object manipulation: the target part cannot be directly actuated, and its motion must emerge through sustained physical hand--handle contact. This makes the transition from object-centric articulated generation to hand-driven dexterous hand--object interaction non-trivial, since geometric trajectory replay or open-loop execution does not model the contact dynamics required to move the articulated part. Moreover, policies trained only for task completion under fixed dynamics can overfit nominal contact loads, especially without tactile or force feedback, and may degrade when the contact load changes. To address these challenges, we present DragMesh-2, a contact-driven framework for dexterous interaction with articulated objects that extends articulated interaction from object-centric generation to hand-driven dexterous hand--object interaction, where articulated motion must arise through physical contact. We further propose PICA, a physically informed contact-aware training mechanism that injects physical signals into policy learning without tactile or force feedback, improving robustness and task success under changing contact loads. Finally, we conduct systematic evaluation across multiple damping conditions and articulated-object categories to study robustness under contact-load variation, and provide a pure-geometry dexterous interaction resource to support future loco-manipulation and humanoid hand--object interaction research. Across seven GAPartNet objects, DragMesh-2 achieves stronger robustness under contact-load variation than the compared methods while maintaining high task success across damping conditions.

MotionVLA: Vision-Language-Action Model for Humanoid Motion

Generating realistic humanoid motion from scene images and text involves both low-frequency pose semantics and high-frequency physical dynamics. However, many existing methods tokenize motion with a single shared codebook, forcing heterogeneous motion signals into the same quantization space. Our frequency-domain analysis of human motion data reveals a clear mismatch between single-codebook quantization and motion statistics: five DCT coefficients capture 93% of joint-position energy but only 37% of joint-velocity energy, which can bias quantization toward pose statistics and under-represent high-frequency velocity components. A second challenge lies in adapting a standard autoregressive model to effectively model high-frequency physical signals in motion sequences. Therefore, we propose DSFT, a dual-stream frequency tokenizer that separates motion into Base and physical streams and compresses them independently with DCT truncation and BPE. Furthermore, we present MotionVLA, a Qwen3.5-based model that arranges Base and physical tokens in a unified sequence, where Phys tokens are predicted after Base tokens. Experiments on HumanML3D and MBench show that, despite using a lightweight 2B backbone, MotionVLA reduces the Diversity gap to real data by over 50% on HumanML3D and improves Motion-Condition Consistency by 3.8% on MBench, supporting frequency-aware dual-stream decoupling as an effective formulation for autoregressive motion generation.

Weyl points enabling significant enhancement of thermoelectric performance in an antiferromagnetic van der Waals metal GdTe3

Magneto-thermoelectric (MTE) effect has demonstrated significant ad-vantages in achieving optimal thermoelectric (TE) properties compared to conventional methods. Topological materials pro-vide a unique platform for investigating the MTE effect, leveraging their exotic electronic structure topology. In this study, we report that the topological material GdTe3 exhibits an unsaturated power factor of up to 18846 {\mu}W m-1 K-1 under a magnetic field of 13.5 T at 20 K, which represents the highest value observed in metallic systems and surpasses most state-of-the-art TE materials. The relative enhancement under magnetic field in thermopower and power factor reaches 873% and 1075%, respectively, attributed to the Weyl points contribution resulting from the field-induced topological transition, as confirmed by our theoretical calculations. Our findings demonstrate a promising candidate for solid-state cooling and reveal the substantial contribution of Weyl points to TE enhancement, thereby offering a novel approach to optimizing TE properties in topological materials.

AutoVulnPHP: LLM-Powered Two-Stage PHP Vulnerability Detection and Automated Localization

PHP's dominance in web development is undermined by security challenges: static analysis lacks semantic depth, causing high false positives; dynamic analysis is computationally expensive; and automated vulnerability localization suffers from coarse granularity and imprecise context. Additionally, the absence of large-scale PHP vulnerability datasets and fragmented toolchains hinder real-world deployment. We present AutoVulnPHP, an end-to-end framework coupling two-stage vulnerability detection with fine-grained automated localization. SIFT-VulMiner (Structural Inference for Flaw Triage Vulnerability Miner) generates vulnerability hypotheses using AST structures enhanced with data flow. SAFE-VulMiner (Semantic Analysis for Flaw Evaluation Vulnerability Miner) verifies candidates through pretrained code encoder embeddings, eliminating false positives. ISAL (Incremental Sequence Analysis for Localization) pinpoints root causes via syntax-guided tracing, chain-of-thought LLM inference, and causal consistency checks to ensure precision. We contribute PHPVD, the first large-scale PHP vulnerability dataset with 26,614 files (5.2M LOC) across seven vulnerability types. On public benchmarks and PHPVD, AutoVulnPHP achieves 99.7% detection accuracy, 99.5% F1 score, and 81.0% localization rate. Deployed on real-world repositories, it discovered 429 previously unknown vulnerabilities, 351 assigned CVE identifiers, validating its practical effectiveness.

Apo2Mol: 3D Molecule Generation via Dynamic Pocket-Aware Diffusion Models

Deep generative models are rapidly advancing structure-based drug design, offering substantial promise for generating small molecule ligands that bind to specific protein targets. However, most current approaches assume a rigid protein binding pocket, neglecting the intrinsic flexibility of proteins and the conformational rearrangements induced by ligand binding, limiting their applicability in practical drug discovery. Here, we propose Apo2Mol, a diffusion-based generative framework for 3D molecule design that explicitly accounts for conformational flexibility in protein binding pockets. To support this, we curate a dataset of over 24,000 experimentally resolved apo-holo structure pairs from the Protein Data Bank, enabling the characterization of protein structure changes associated with ligand binding. Apo2Mol employs a full-atom hierarchical graph-based diffusion model that simultaneously generates 3D ligand molecules and their corresponding holo pocket conformations from input apo states. Empirical studies demonstrate that Apo2Mol can achieve state-of-the-art performance in generating high-affinity ligands and accurately capture realistic protein pocket conformational changes.

Unveiling the delicate "hidden" interface conditions in WS2 flakes by advanced atomic force microscopy

The delicate interfacial conditions and behaviors play critical roles in determining the valuable physical properties of two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures on substrates. However, directly probing these complex interface conditions remains challenging. Here, we reveal the coupled in-plane strain and out-of-plane bonding conditions in strain-engineered WS2 flakes by combining dual-harmonic electrostatic force microscopy (DH-EFM) and scanning microwave impedance microscopy (sMIM). A striking contradiction is observed between the compressive-strain-induced larger bandgap (lower electrical conductivity) detected by DH-EFM, and the enhanced conductivity probed by sMIM. Comparative measurements under different sMIM modes demonstrate that this contradiction originates from a tip-loading-force-induced dynamic puckering effect, which is governed by the interfacial bonding strength. Furthermore, the progressive accumulation and subsequent release of conductivity during forward/backward sMIM-contact scans further confirms this dynamic puckering behavior, revealing pronounced differences in interface conditions between the open- and closed-ring regions of WS2. This work resolves the correlation between electrical properties and interface conditions, and provides fundamental insights for interface-engineered devices.

EgoCross: Benchmarking Multimodal Large Language Models for Cross-Domain Egocentric Video Question Answering

Recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have significantly pushed the frontier of egocentric video question answering (EgocentricQA). However, existing benchmarks and studies are mainly limited to common daily activities such as cooking and cleaning. In contrast, real-world deployment inevitably encounters domain shifts, where target domains differ substantially in both visual style and semantic content. To bridge this gap, we introduce \textbf{EgoCross}, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate the cross-domain generalization of MLLMs in EgocentricQA. EgoCross covers four diverse and challenging domains, including surgery, industry, extreme sports, and animal perspective, representing realistic and high-impact application scenarios. It comprises approximately 1,000 QA pairs across 798 video clips, spanning four key QA tasks: prediction, recognition, localization, and counting. Each QA pair provides both OpenQA and CloseQA formats to support fine-grained evaluation. Extensive experiments show that most existing MLLMs, whether general-purpose or egocentric-specialized, struggle to generalize to domains beyond daily life, highlighting the limitations of current models. Furthermore, we conduct several pilot studies, e.g., fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, to explore potential improvements. We hope EgoCross and our accompanying analysis will serve as a foundation for advancing domain-adaptive, robust egocentric video understanding.

Large Language Model for Extracting Complex Contract Information in Industrial Scenes

This paper proposes a high-quality dataset construction method for complex contract information extraction tasks in industrial scenarios and fine-tunes a large language model based on this dataset. Firstly, cluster analysis is performed on industrial contract texts, and GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 are used to extract key information from the original contract data, obtaining high-quality data annotations. Secondly, data augmentation is achieved by constructing new texts, and GPT-3.5 generates unstructured contract texts from randomly combined keywords, improving model robustness. Finally, the large language model is fine-tuned based on the high-quality dataset. Experimental results show that the model achieves excellent overall performance while ensuring high field recall and precision and considering parsing efficiency. LoRA, data balancing, and data augmentation effectively enhance model accuracy and robustness. The proposed method provides a novel and efficient solution for industrial contract information extraction tasks.

DecoyDB: A Dataset for Graph Contrastive Learning in Protein-Ligand Binding Affinity Prediction

Predicting the binding affinity of protein-ligand complexes plays a vital role in drug discovery. Unfortunately, progress has been hindered by the lack of large-scale and high-quality binding affinity labels. The widely used PDBbind dataset has fewer than 20K labeled complexes. Self-supervised learning, especially graph contrastive learning (GCL), provides a unique opportunity to break the barrier by pre-training graph neural network models based on vast unlabeled complexes and fine-tuning the models on much fewer labeled complexes. However, the problem faces unique challenges, including a lack of a comprehensive unlabeled dataset with well-defined positive/negative complex pairs and the need to design GCL algorithms that incorporate the unique characteristics of such data. To fill the gap, we propose DecoyDB, a large-scale, structure-aware dataset specifically designed for self-supervised GCL on protein-ligand complexes. DecoyDB consists of high-resolution ground truth complexes (less than 2.5 Angstrom) and diverse decoy structures with computationally generated binding poses that range from realistic to suboptimal (negative pairs). Each decoy is annotated with a Root Mean Squared Deviation (RMSD) from the native pose. We further design a customized GCL framework to pre-train graph neural networks based on DecoyDB and fine-tune the models with labels from PDBbind. Extensive experiments confirm that models pre-trained with DecoyDB achieve superior accuracy, label efficiency, and generalizability.

HSACNet: Hierarchical Scale-Aware Consistency Regularized Semi-Supervised Change Detection

Semi-supervised change detection (SSCD) aims to detect changes between bi-temporal remote sensing images by utilizing limited labeled data and abundant unlabeled data. Existing methods struggle in complex scenarios, exhibiting poor performance when confronted with noisy data. They typically neglect intra-layer multi-scale features while emphasizing inter-layer fusion, harming the integrity of change objects with different scales. In this paper, we propose HSACNet, a Hierarchical Scale-Aware Consistency regularized Network for SSCD. Specifically, we integrate Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM2), using its Hiera backbone as the encoder to extract inter-layer multi-scale features and applying adapters for parameter-efficient fine-tuning. Moreover, we design a Scale-Aware Differential Attention Module (SADAM) that can precisely capture intra-layer multi-scale change features and suppress noise. Additionally, a dual-augmentation consistency regularization strategy is adopted to effectively utilize the unlabeled data. Extensive experiments across four CD benchmarks demonstrate that our HSACNet achieves state-of-the-art performance, with reduced parameters and computational cost.

Unbiased Video Scene Graph Generation via Visual and Semantic Dual Debiasing

Video Scene Graph Generation (VidSGG) aims to capture dynamic relationships among entities by sequentially analyzing video frames and integrating visual and semantic information. However, VidSGG is challenged by significant biases that skew predictions. To mitigate these biases, we propose a VIsual and Semantic Awareness (VISA) framework for unbiased VidSGG. VISA addresses visual bias through memory-enhanced temporal integration that enhances object representations and concurrently reduces semantic bias by iteratively integrating object features with comprehensive semantic information derived from triplet relationships. This visual-semantics dual debiasing approach results in more unbiased representations of complex scene dynamics. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, where VISA outperforms existing unbiased VidSGG approaches by a substantial margin (e.g., +13.1% improvement in mR@20 and mR@50 for the SGCLS task under Semi Constraint).

Further results on permutation pentanomials over ${\mathbb F}_{q^3}$ in characteristic two

Let $q=2^m.$ In a recent paper \cite{Zhang3}, Zhang and Zheng investigated several classes of permutation pentanomials of the form $\epsilon_0x^{d_0}+L(\epsilon_{1}x^{d_1}+\epsilon_{2}x^{d_2})$ over ${\mathbb F}_{q^3}~(d_0=1,2,4)$ from some certain linearized polynomial $L(x)$ by using multivariate method and some techniques to determine the number of the solutions of some equations. They proposed an open problem that there are still some permutation pentanomials of that form have not been proven. In this paper, inspired by the idea of \cite{LiKK}, we further characterize the permutation property of the pentanomials with the above form over ${\mathbb F}_{q^3}~(d_0=1,2,4)$. The techniques in this paper would be useful to investigate more new classes of permutation pentanomials.

GMAI-VL & GMAI-VL-5.5M: A Large Vision-Language Model and A Comprehensive Multimodal Dataset Towards General Medical AI

Despite significant advancements in general AI, its effectiveness in the medical domain is limited by the lack of specialized medical knowledge. To address this, we formulate GMAI-VL-5.5M, a multimodal medical dataset created by converting hundreds of specialized medical datasets with various annotations into high-quality image-text pairs. This dataset offers comprehensive task coverage, diverse modalities, and rich image-text data. Building upon this dataset, we develop GMAI-VL, a general medical vision-language model, with a three-stage training strategy that enhances the integration of visual and textual information. This approach significantly improves the model's ability to process multimodal data, supporting accurate diagnoses and clinical decision-making. Experiments show that GMAI-VL achieves state-of-the-art performance across various multimodal medical tasks, including visual question answering and medical image diagnosis.
