Skeletons Matter: Dynamic Data Augmentation for Text-to-Query

The task of translating natural language questions into query languages has long been a central focus in semantic parsing. Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly accelerated progress in this field. However, existing studies typically focus on a single query language, resulting in methods with limited generalizability across different languages. In this paper, we formally define the Text-to-Query task paradigm, unifying semantic parsing tasks across various query languages. We identify query skeletons as a shared optimization target of Text-to-Query tasks, and propose a general dynamic data augmentation framework that explicitly diagnoses model-specific weaknesses in handling these skeletons to synthesize targeted training data. Experiments on four Text-to-Query benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance using only a small amount of synthesized data, highlighting the efficiency and generality of our approach and laying a solid foundation for unified research on Text-to-Query tasks. We release our code at https://github.com/jjjycaptain/Skeletron.

Artemis: Toward Accurate Detection of Server-Side Request Forgeries through LLM-Assisted Inter-Procedural Path-Sensitive Taint Analysis

Server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities are inevitable in PHP web applications. Existing static tools in detecting vulnerabilities in PHP web applications neither contain SSRF-related features to enhance detection accuracy nor consider PHP's dynamic type features. In this paper, we present Artemis, a static taint analysis tool for detecting SSRF vulnerabilities in PHP web applications. First, Artemis extracts both PHP built-in and third-party functions as candidate source and sink functions. Second, Artemis constructs both explicit and implicit call graphs to infer functions' relationships. Third, Artemis performs taint analysis based on a set of rules that prevent over-tainting and pauses when SSRF exploitation is impossible. Fourth, Artemis analyzes the compatibility of path conditions to prune false positives. We have implemented a prototype of Artemis and evaluated it on 250 PHP web applications. Artemis reports 207 true vulnerable paths (106 true SSRFs) with 15 false positives. Of the 106 detected SSRFs, 35 are newly found and reported to developers, with 24 confirmed and assigned CVE IDs.

Fine-detailed Neural Indoor Scene Reconstruction using multi-level importance sampling and multi-view consistency

Recently, neural implicit 3D reconstruction in indoor scenarios has become popular due to its simplicity and impressive performance. Previous works could produce complete results leveraging monocular priors of normal or depth. However, they may suffer from over-smoothed reconstructions and long-time optimization due to unbiased sampling and inaccurate monocular priors. In this paper, we propose a novel neural implicit surface reconstruction method, named FD-NeuS, to learn fine-detailed 3D models using multi-level importance sampling strategy and multi-view consistency methodology. Specifically, we leverage segmentation priors to guide region-based ray sampling, and use piecewise exponential functions as weights to pilot 3D points sampling along the rays, ensuring more attention on important regions. In addition, we introduce multi-view feature consistency and multi-view normal consistency as supervision and uncertainty respectively, which further improve the reconstruction of details. Extensive quantitative and qualitative results show that FD-NeuS outperforms existing methods in various scenes.

A Large Language Model-based multi-agent manufacturing system for intelligent shopfloor

As customer demand for multi-variety and small-batch production increases, dynamic disturbances place greater demands on manufacturing systems. To address such challenges, researchers proposed the multi-agent manufacturing system. However, conventional agent negotiation typically relies on pre-defined and fixed heuristic rules, which are ill-suited to managing complex and fluctuating disturbances. In current implementations, mainstream approaches based on reinforcement learning require the development of simulators and training models specific to a given shopfloor, necessitating substantial computational resources and lacking scalability. To overcome this limitation, the present study proposes a Large Language Model-based (LLM-based) multi-agent manufacturing system for intelligent shopfloor management. By defining the diverse modules of agents and their collaborative methods, this system facilitates the processing of all workpieces with minimal human intervention. The agents in this system consist of the Machine Server Module (MSM), Bid Inviter Module (BIM), Bidder Module (BM), Thinking Module (TM), and Decision Module (DM). By harnessing the reasoning capabilities of LLMs, these modules enable agents to dynamically analyze shopfloor information and select appropriate processing machines. The LLM-based modules, predefined by system prompts, provide dynamic functionality for the system without the need for pre-training. Extensive experiments were conducted in physical shopfloor settings. The results demonstrate that the proposed system exhibits strong adaptability, and achieves superior performance (makespan) and stability (as measured by sample standard deviation) compared to other approaches without requiring pre-training.

Efficient Algorithms for Top-k Stabbing Queries on Weighted Interval Data (Full Version)

Intervals have been generated in many applications (e.g., temporal databases), and they are often associated with weights, such as prices. This paper addresses the problem of processing top-k weighted stabbing queries on interval data. Given a set of weighted intervals, a query value, and a result size $k$, this problem finds the $k$ intervals that are stabbed by the query value and have the largest weights. Although this problem finds practical applications (e.g., purchase, vehicle, and cryptocurrency analysis), it has not been well studied. A state-of-the-art algorithm for this problem incurs $O(n\log k)$ time, where $n$ is the number of intervals, so it is not scalable to large $n$. We solve this inefficiency issue and propose an algorithm that runs in $O(\sqrt{n }\log n + k)$ time. Furthermore, we propose an $O(\log n + k)$ algorithm to further accelerate the search efficiency. Experiments on two real large datasets demonstrate that our algorithms are faster than existing algorithms.

We Choose to Go to Space: Agent-driven Human and Multi-Robot Collaboration in Microgravity

We present SpaceAgents-1, a system for learning human and multi-robot collaboration (HMRC) strategies under microgravity conditions. Future space exploration requires humans to work together with robots. However, acquiring proficient robot skills and adept collaboration under microgravity conditions poses significant challenges within ground laboratories. To address this issue, we develop a microgravity simulation environment and present three typical configurations of intra-cabin robots. We propose a hierarchical heterogeneous multi-agent collaboration architecture: guided by foundation models, a Decision-Making Agent serves as a task planner for human-robot collaboration, while individual Skill-Expert Agents manage the embodied control of robots. This mechanism empowers the SpaceAgents-1 system to execute a range of intricate long-horizon HMRC tasks.

Wafer-scale epitaxial growth of the thickness-controllable van der Waals ferromagnet CrTe2 for reliable magnetic memory applications

To harness the intriguing properties of two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets (FMs) for versatile applications, the key challenge lies in the reliable material synthesis for scalable device production. Here, we demonstrate the epitaxial growth of single-crystalline 1T-CrTe2 thin films on 2-inch sapphire substrates. Benefiting from the uniform surface energy of the dangling bond-free Al2O3(0001) surface, the layer-by-layer vdW growth mode is observed right from the initial growth stage, which warrants precise control of the sample thickness and atomically smooth surface morphology across the entire wafer. Moreover, the presence of the Coulomb interaction at the CrTe2/Al2O3 interface serves as an effective tuning parameter to tailor the anomalous Hall response, and the structural optimization of the CrTe2-based spin-orbit torque device leads to a substantial switching power reduction by 54%. Our results may lay out a general framework for the design of energy-efficient spintronics based on configurable vdW FMs.

Room Temperature Gate Tunable Non Reciprocal Charge Transport in Lattice Matched InSb/CdTe Heterostructures

The manipulation of symmetry provides an effective way to tailor the physical orders in solid-state systems. With the breaking of both the inversion and time-reversal symmetries, non-reciprocal magneto-transport may emerge in assorted non-magnetic systems to enrich spintronic physics. Here, we report the observation of the uni-directional magneto-resistance (UMR) in the lattice-matched InSb/CdTe film up to room temperature. Benefiting from the strong built-in electric field of $0.13 \mathrm{~V} \cdot \mathrm{nm}^{-1}$ in the hetero-junction region, the resulting Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling and quantum confinement warrant stable angular-dependent second-order charge current with the non-reciprocal coefficient 1-2 orders of magnitude larger than most non-centrosymmetric materials at 298 K. More importantly, this heterostructure configuration enables highly-efficient gate tuning of the rectification response in which the enhancement of the UMR amplitude by 40% is realized. Our results advocate the narrow-gap semiconductor-based hybrid system with the robust two-dimensional interfacial spin texture as a suitable platform for the pursuit of controllable chiral spin-orbit devices and applications.

Tailoring Magnetic Exchange Interactions in Ferromagnet-Intercalated MnBi2Te4 Superlattices

The intrinsic magnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4 (MBT) has provided a platform for the successful realization of exotic quantum phenomena. To broaden the horizons of MBT-based material systems, we intercalate ferromagnetic MnTe layers to construct the [(MBT)(MnTe)m]N superlattices by molecular beam epitaxy. The effective incorporation of ferromagnetic spacers mediates the anti-ferromagnetic interlayer coupling among the MBT layers through the exchange spring effect at the MBT/MnTe hetero-interfaces. Moreover, the precise control of the MnTe thickness enables the modulation of relative strengths among the constituent magnetic orders, leading to tunable magnetoelectric responses, while the superlattice periodicity serves as an additional tuning parameter to tailor the spin configurations of the synthesized multi-layers. Our results demonstrate the advantages of superlattice engineering for optimizing the magnetic interactions in MBT-family systems, and the ferromagnet-intercalated strategy opens up new avenues in magnetic topological insulator structural design and spintronic applications.

Thickness-Driven Quantum Anomalous Hall Phase Transition in Magnetic Topological Insulator Thin Films

The quantized version of anomalous Hall effect realized in magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) has great potential for the development of topological quantum physics and low-power electronic/spintronic applications. To enable dissipationless chiral edge conduction at zero magnetic field, effective exchange field arisen from the aligned magnetic dopants needs to be large enough to yield specific spin sub-band configurations. Here we report the thickness-tailored quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect in Cr-doped (Bi,Sb)2Te3 thin films by tuning the system across the two-dimensional (2D) limit. In addition to the Chern number-related metal-to-insulator QAH phase transition, we also demonstrate that the induced hybridization gap plays an indispensable role in determining the ground magnetic state of the MTIs, namely the spontaneous magnetization owning to considerable Van Vleck spin susceptibility guarantees the zero-field QAH state with unitary scaling law in thick samples, while the quantization of the Hall conductance can only be achieved with the assistance of external magnetic fields in ultra-thin films. The modulation of topology and magnetism through structural engineering may provide a useful guidance for the pursuit of QAH-based new phase diagrams and functionalities.

Topological Insulators-Based Magnetic Heterostructure

The combination of magnetism and topology in magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) has led to unprecedented advancements of time reversal symmetry-breaking topological quantum physics in the past decade. Compared with the uniform films, the MTI heterostructures provide a better framework to manipulate the spin-orbit coupling and spin properties. In this review, we summarize the fundamental mechanisms related to the physical orders host in (Bi,Sb)2(Te,Se)3-based hybrid systems. Besides, we provide an assessment on the general strategies to enhance the magnetic coupling and spin-orbit torque strength through different structural engineering approaches and effective interfacial interactions. Finally, we offer an outlook of MTI heterostructures-based spintronics applications, particularly in view of their feasibility to achieve room-temperature operation.

Super Resolution Convolutional Neural Network for Feature Extraction in Spectroscopic Data

Two dimensional (2D) peak finding is a common practice in data analysis for physics experiments, which is typically achieved by computing the local derivatives. However, this method is inherently unstable when the local landscape is complicated, or the signal-to-noise ratio of the data is low. In this work, we propose a new method in which the peak tracking task is formalized as an inverse problem, thus can be solved with a convolutional neural network (CNN). In addition, we show that the underlying physics principle of the experiments can be used to generate the training data. By generalizing the trained neural network on real experimental data, we show that the CNN method can achieve comparable or better results than traditional derivative based methods. This approach can be further generalized in different physics experiments when the physical process is known.
