Hierarchy of extreme-event predictability in turbulence revealed by machine learning

Extreme-event predictability in turbulence is strongly state dependent, yet event-by-event predictability horizons are difficult to quantify without access to governing equations or costly perturbation ensembles. Here we train an autoregressive conditional diffusion model on direct numerical simulations of the two-dimensional Kolmogorov flow and use a CRPS-based skill score to define an event-wise predictability horizon. Enstrophy extremes exhibit a pronounced hierarchy: forecast skill persists from $\approx 1$ to $> 4$ Lyapunov times across events. Spectral filtering shows that these horizons are controlled predominantly by large-scale structures. Extremes are preceded by intense strain cores organizing quadrupolar vortex packets, whose lifetime sharply separates long- from short-horizon events. These results identify coherent-structure persistence as a governing mechanism for the predictability of turbulence extremes and provide a data-driven route to diagnose predictability limits from observations.

Selfish Cooperation Towards Low-Altitude Economy: Integrated Multi-Service Deployment with Resilient Federated Reinforcement Learning

The low-altitude economy (LAE) is a rapidly emerging paradigm that builds a service-centric economic ecosystem through large-scale and sustainable uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled service provisioning, reflecting the transition of the 6G era from technological advancement toward commercial deployment. The significant market potential of LAE attracts an increasing number of service providers (SPs), resulting in intensified competition in service deployment. In this paper, we study a realistic LAE scenario in which multiple SPs dynamically deploy UAVs to deliver multiple services to user hotspots, aiming to jointly optimize communication and computation resource allocation. To resolve deployment competition among SPs, an authenticity-guaranteed auction mechanism is designed, and game-theoretic analysis is conducted to establish the solvability of the proposed resource allocation problem. Furthermore, a resilient federated reinforcement learning (FRL)-based solution is developed with strong fault tolerance, effectively countering transmission errors and malicious competition while facilitating potential cooperation among self-interested SPs. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves service performance and robustness compared with baseline methods, providing a practical and scalable solution for competitive LAE service deployment.

Adaptive Personalized Federated Reinforcement Learning for RIS-Assisted Aerial Relays in SAGINs with Fluid Antennas

Space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGINs) interconnect satellites, uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), and ground devices to enable flexible and ubiquitous wireless services. The integration of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) and fluid antenna systems (FASs) further enhances radio environment controllability. However, the tight integration of cross-layer facilities and radio enhancement technologies leads to pronounced environmental dynamics and heterogeneity, posing fundamental challenges for system modeling and optimization in large-scale SAGINs. This paper investigates a SAGIN in which low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations communicate with multiple ground hotspots via RIS-assisted UAV relays, serving both FAS-equipped and conventional users. A system model is developed that explicitly captures satellite mobility, UAV trajectories, RIS phase control, and heterogeneous user reception capabilities. Accordingly, a multi-hotspot downlink rate maximization problem is studied, whose solvability is analyzed through a hierarchical Stackelberg game. To address heterogeneous and time-varying multi-hotspot environments, an adaptive personalized federated reinforcement learning (FRL) algorithm is proposed for adaptive optimization of UAV trajectories and RIS phase controls. Simulation results demonstrate superior performance and validate the effectiveness of personalization in dynamic heterogeneous SAGIN scenarios.

Lifting derived equivalences of abelian surfaces to generalized Kummer varieties

In this article, we study the $G$-autoequivalences of the derived category $\mathbf{D}^b_G(A)$ of $G$-equivariant objects for an abelian variety $A$ with $G$ being a finite subgroup of $\mathrm{Pic}^0(A)$. We provide a result analogue to Orlov's short exact sequence for derived equivalences of abelian varieties. It can be generalized to the derived equivalences of abelian varieties for a same $G$ in general. Furthermore, we find derived equivalences of generalized Kummer varieties by lifting derived equivalences of abelian surfaces using the $G$-equivariant version of Orlov's short exact sequence and some ``splitting" propositions.

Hepato-LLaVA: An Expert MLLM with Sparse Topo-Pack Attention for Hepatocellular Pathology Analysis on Whole Slide Images

Hepatocellular Carcinoma diagnosis relies heavily on the interpretation of gigapixel Whole Slide Images. However, current computational approaches are constrained by fixed-resolution processing mechanisms and inefficient feature aggregation, which inevitably lead to either severe information loss or high feature redundancy. To address these challenges, we propose Hepato-LLaVA, a specialized Multi-modal Large Language Model designed for fine-grained hepatocellular pathology analysis. We introduce a novel Sparse Topo-Pack Attention mechanism that explicitly models 2D tissue topology. This mechanism effectively aggregates local diagnostic evidence into semantic summary tokens while preserving global context. Furthermore, to overcome the lack of multi-scale data, we present HepatoPathoVQA, a clinically grounded dataset comprising 33K hierarchically structured question-answer pairs validated by expert pathologists. Our experiments demonstrate that Hepato-LLaVA achieves state-of-the-art performance on HCC diagnosis and captioning tasks, significantly outperforming existing methods. Our code and implementation details are available at https://pris-cv.github.io/Hepto-LLaVA/.

MedReasoner: Reinforcement Learning Drives Reasoning Grounding from Clinical Thought to Pixel-Level Precision

Accurately grounding regions of interest (ROIs) is critical for diagnosis and treatment planning in medical imaging. While multimodal large language models (MLLMs) combine visual perception with natural language, current medical-grounding pipelines still rely on supervised fine-tuning with explicit spatial hints, making them ill-equipped to handle the implicit queries common in clinical practice. This work makes three core contributions. We first define Unified Medical Reasoning Grounding (UMRG), a novel vision-language task that demands clinical reasoning and pixel-level grounding. Second, we release U-MRG-14K, a dataset of 14K samples featuring pixel-level masks alongside implicit clinical queries and reasoning traces, spanning 10 modalities, 15 super-categories, and 108 specific categories. Finally, we introduce MedReasoner, a modular framework that distinctly separates reasoning from segmentation: an MLLM reasoner is optimized with reinforcement learning, while a frozen segmentation expert converts spatial prompts into masks, with alignment achieved through format and accuracy rewards. MedReasoner achieves state-of-the-art performance on U-MRG-14K and demonstrates strong generalization to unseen clinical queries, underscoring the significant promise of reinforcement learning for interpretable medical grounding.

High-Precision Measurement of D($γ$, $n$)$p$ Photodisintegration Reaction and Implications for Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis

We report on a high-precision measurement of the D($γ$,\,$n$)$p$ photodisintegration reaction at the newly commissioned Shanghai Laser Electron Gamma Source (SLEGS), employing a quasi-monochromatic $γ$-ray beam from Laser Compton Scattering. The cross sections were determined over $E_γ$=2.327--7.089 MeV, achieving up to a factor of 2.2 improvement in precision near the neutron separation threshold. Combined with previous data in a global Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis using dibaryon effective field theory, we obtained the unprecedentedly precise $p$($n$,\,$γ$)D cross sections and thermonuclear rate, with a precision up to $\approx$4 times higher than previous evaluations. Implemented in a standard Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) framework, this new rate decreases uncertainty of the key cosmological parameter of baryon density $Ω_b h^2$ by up to $\approx$16\% relative to the LUNA result. A residual $\approx$1.2$σ$ tension between $Ω_b h^2$ constrained from primordial D/H observations and CMB measurements persists, highlighting the need for improved $dd$ reaction rates and offering potential hints of new physics beyond the standard model of cosmology.

Single-View Shape Completion for Robotic Grasping in Clutter

In vision-based robot manipulation, a single camera view can only capture one side of objects of interest, with additional occlusions in cluttered scenes further restricting visibility. As a result, the observed geometry is incomplete, and grasp estimation algorithms perform suboptimally. To address this limitation, we leverage diffusion models to perform category-level 3D shape completion from partial depth observations obtained from a single view, reconstructing complete object geometries to provide richer context for grasp planning. Our method focuses on common household items with diverse geometries, generating full 3D shapes that serve as input to downstream grasp inference networks. Unlike prior work, which primarily considers isolated objects or minimal clutter, we evaluate shape completion and grasping in realistic clutter scenarios with household objects. In preliminary evaluations on a cluttered scene, our approach consistently results in better grasp success rates than a naive baseline without shape completion by 23% and over a recent state of the art shape completion approach by 19%. Our code is available at https://amm.aass.oru.se/shape-completion-grasping/.

Not All Data are Good Labels: On the Self-supervised Labeling for Time Series Forecasting

Time Series Forecasting (TSF) is a crucial task in various domains, yet existing TSF models rely heavily on high-quality data and insufficiently exploit all available data. This paper explores a novel self-supervised approach to re-label time series datasets by inherently constructing candidate datasets. During the optimization of a simple reconstruction network, intermediates are used as pseudo labels in a self-supervised paradigm, improving generalization for any predictor. We introduce the Self-Correction with Adaptive Mask (SCAM), which discards overfitted components and selectively replaces them with pseudo labels generated from reconstructions. Additionally, we incorporate Spectral Norm Regularization (SNR) to further suppress overfitting from a loss landscape perspective. Our experiments on eleven real-world datasets demonstrate that SCAM consistently improves the performance of various backbone models. This work offers a new perspective on constructing datasets and enhancing the generalization of TSF models through self-supervised learning. The code is available at https://github.com/SuDIS-ZJU/SCAM.

Statistically Assuring Safety of Control Systems using Ensembles of Safety Filters and Conformal Prediction

Safety assurance is a fundamental requirement for deploying learning-enabled autonomous systems. Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability analysis is a fundamental method for formally verifying safety and generating safe controllers. However, computing the HJ value function that characterizes the backward reachable set (BRS) of a set of user-defined failure states is computationally expensive, especially for high-dimensional systems, motivating the use of reinforcement learning approaches to approximate the value function. Unfortunately, a learned value function and its corresponding safe policy are not guaranteed to be correct. The learned value function evaluated at a given state may not be equal to the actual safety return achieved by following the learned safe policy. To address this challenge, we introduce a conformal prediction-based (CP) framework that bounds such uncertainty. We leverage CP to provide probabilistic safety guarantees when using learned HJ value functions and policies to prevent control systems from reaching failure states. Specifically, we use CP to calibrate the switching between the unsafe nominal controller and the learned HJ-based safe policy and to derive safety guarantees under this switched policy. We also investigate using an ensemble of independently trained HJ value functions as a safety filter and compare this ensemble approach to using individual value functions alone.

The minimum edge-pancyclic graph of a given order

A graph $G$ of order $n$ is called edge-pancyclic if, for every integer $k$ with $3 \leq k \leq n$, every edge of $G$ lies in a cycle of length $k$. Determining the minimum size $f(n)$ of a simple edge-pancyclic graph with $n$ vertices seems difficult. Recently, Li, Liu and Zhan \cite{li2024minimum} gave both a lower bound and an upper bound of $f(n)$. In this paper, we improve their lower bound by considering a new class of graphs and improve the upper bound by constructing a family of edge-pancyclic graphs.

Learning Neural Control Barrier Functions from Expert Demonstrations using Inverse Constraint Learning

Safety is a fundamental requirement for autonomous systems operating in critical domains. Control barrier functions (CBFs) have been used to design safety filters that minimally alter nominal controls for such systems to maintain their safety. Learning neural CBFs has been proposed as a data-driven alternative for their computationally expensive optimization-based synthesis. However, it is often the case that the failure set of states that should be avoided is non-obvious or hard to specify formally, e.g., tailgating in autonomous driving, while a set of expert demonstrations that achieve the task and avoid the failure set is easier to generate. We use ICL to train a constraint function that classifies the states of the system under consideration to safe, i.e., belong to a controlled forward invariant set that is disjoint from the unspecified failure set, and unsafe ones, i.e., belong to the complement of that set. We then use that function to label a new set of simulated trajectories to train our neural CBF. We empirically evaluate our approach in four different environments, demonstrating that it outperforms existing baselines and achieves comparable performance to a neural CBF trained with the same data but annotated with ground-truth safety labels.

Derived categories of generalized Kummer varieties: extended Mukai vector

We use the extended Mukai vectors for hyper-Kähler manifolds to investigate the derived equivalences of the hyper-Kähler manifolds which are deformation equivalent to generalized Kummer varieties. Inspired by the idea for hyper-Kähler manifolds of $\mathrm{K3}^{[n]}$-type, we obtain an integral lattice which is proved to be invariant under the derived equivalences of generalized Kummer type varieties. Such results and applications are described using derived monodromy groups.

Learning from Disagreement: A Group Decision Simulation Framework for Robust Medical Image Segmentation

Medical image segmentation annotation suffers from inter-rater variability (IRV) due to differences in annotators' expertise and the inherent blurriness of medical images. Standard approaches that simply average expert labels are flawed, as they discard the valuable clinical uncertainty revealed in disagreements. We introduce a fundamentally new approach with our group decision simulation framework, which works by mimicking the collaborative decision-making process of a clinical panel. Under this framework, an Expert Signature Generator (ESG) learns to represent individual annotator styles in a unique latent space. A Simulated Consultation Module (SCM) then intelligently generates the final segmentation by sampling from this space. This method achieved state-of-the-art results on challenging CBCT and MRI datasets (92.11% and 90.72% Dice scores). By treating expert disagreement as a useful signal instead of noise, our work provides a clear path toward more robust and trustworthy AI systems for healthcare.

Designing Latent Safety Filters using Pre-Trained Vision Models

Ensuring safety of vision-based control systems remains a major challenge hindering their deployment in critical settings. Safety filters have gained increased interest as effective tools for ensuring the safety of classical control systems, but their applications in vision-based control settings have so far been limited. Pre-trained vision models (PVRs) have been shown to be effective perception backbones for control in various robotics domains. In this paper, we are interested in examining their effectiveness when used for designing vision-based safety filters. We use them as backbones for classifiers defining failure sets, for Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability-based safety filters, and for latent world models. We discuss the trade-offs between training from scratch, fine-tuning, and freezing the PVRs when training the models they are backbones for. We also evaluate whether one of the PVRs is superior across all tasks, evaluate whether learned world models or Q-functions are better for switching decisions to safe policies, and discuss practical considerations for deploying these PVRs on resource-constrained devices.

Unsupervised Multi-Attention Meta Transformer for Rotating Machinery Fault Diagnosis

The intelligent fault diagnosis of rotating mechanical equipment usually requires a large amount of labeled sample data. However, in practical industrial applications, acquiring enough data is both challenging and expensive in terms of time and cost. Moreover, different types of rotating mechanical equipment with different unique mechanical properties, require separate training of diagnostic models for each case. To address the challenges of limited fault samples and the lack of generalizability in prediction models for practical engineering applications, we propose a Multi-Attention Meta Transformer method for few-shot unsupervised rotating machinery fault diagnosis (MMT-FD). This framework extracts potential fault representations from unlabeled data and demonstrates strong generalization capabilities, making it suitable for diagnosing faults across various types of mechanical equipment. The MMT-FD framework integrates a time-frequency domain encoder and a meta-learning generalization model. The time-frequency domain encoder predicts status representations generated through random augmentations in the time-frequency domain. These enhanced data are then fed into a meta-learning network for classification and generalization training, followed by fine-tuning using a limited amount of labeled data. The model is iteratively optimized using a small number of contrastive learning iterations, resulting in high efficiency. To validate the framework, we conducted experiments on a bearing fault dataset and rotor test bench data. The results demonstrate that the MMT-FD model achieves 99\% fault diagnosis accuracy with only 1\% of labeled sample data, exhibiting robust generalization capabilities.

Ensembling Membership Inference Attacks Against Tabular Generative Models

Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs) have emerged as a principled framework for auditing the privacy of synthetic data generated by tabular generative models, where many diverse methods have been proposed that each exploit different privacy leakage signals. However, in realistic threat scenarios, an adversary must choose a single method without a priori guarantee that it will be the empirically highest performing option. We study this challenge as a decision theoretic problem under uncertainty and conduct the largest synthetic data privacy benchmark to date. Here, we find that no MIA constitutes a strictly dominant strategy across a wide variety of model architectures and dataset domains under our threat model. Motivated by these findings, we propose ensemble MIAs and show that unsupervised ensembles built on individual attacks offer empirically more robust, regret-minimizing strategies than individual attacks.

Human-Machine Collaboration-Guided Space Design: Combination of Machine Learning Models and Humanistic Design Concepts

The integration of machine learning (ML) into spatial design holds immense potential for optimizing space utilization, enhancing functionality, and streamlining design processes. ML can automate tasks, predict performance outcomes, and tailor spaces to user preferences. However, the emotional, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions of design remain crucial for creating spaces that truly resonate with users-elements that ML alone cannot address. The key challenge lies in harmonizing data-driven efficiency with the nuanced, subjective aspects of design. This paper proposes a human-machine collaboration framework to bridge this gap. An effective framework should recognize that while ML enhances design efficiency through automation and prediction, it must be paired with human creativity to ensure spaces are emotionally engaging and culturally relevant. Human designers contribute intuition, empathy, and cultural insight, guiding ML-generated solutions to align with users' emotional and cultural needs. Additionally, we explore how various ML models can be integrated with human-centered design principles. These models can automate design generation and optimization, while human designers refine the outputs to ensure emotional resonance and aesthetic appeal. Through case studies in office and residential design, we illustrate how this framework fosters both creativity and cultural relevance. By merging ML with human creativity, spatial design can achieve a balance of efficiency and emotional impact, resulting in environments that are both functional and deeply human.
