DynaPPI: A Large-scale Dynamic Protein Dataset for AI-driven Advances in Protein Interactomics

Diffusion models have been widely explored in protein backbone generation due to their powerful generation capabilities.However, in today's AI-driven biological research, predicting the structure of unknown multi-chain protein aggregates (called "complexes" in biology) remains an unsolved challenge.This is because existing static or dynamic protein datasets focus solely on static snapshots or single-entity trajectories, neglecting the dynamic process of multiple monomers forming complexes.To alleviate this dilemma, we present DynaPPI, a dynamic protein dataset comprising molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories of protein complex formation from dissociated chains to the bound state, as a pivotal resource to bridge the gap between static structural biology and the inherently temporal nature of dynamic molecular interactions.Benefiting from this dataset, diffusion models can explicitly learn the dynamic binding trajectories of known complexes and accurately predict the structures of unknown complexes based on their diverse generative properties, thereby further catalyzing AI-driven structural biology and protein interactomics.

RePO-VLA: Recovery-Driven Policy Optimization for Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models remain brittle in long-horizon, contact-rich manipulation because success-only imitation provides little supervision for execution drift, while failed rollouts are often discarded. We introduce RePO-VLA, a recovery-driven policy optimization framework that assigns distinct roles to success, recovery, and failure trajectories. RePO-VLA first applies Recovery-Aware Initialization (RAI), slicing recovery segments and resetting history so corrective actions depend on the current adverse state rather than the preceding failure. It then learns a Progress-Aware Semantic Value Function (PAS-VF), aligning spatiotemporal trajectory features with instructions and successful references. The resulting labels salvage useful failure prefixes via reliability decay, while low-value labels mark drift and terminal breakdowns, teaching differences among nominal, failed, and corrective actions. The data engine turns adverse states into planner-generated or human-collected corrective rollouts, teaching recovery to the success manifold. Value-Conditioned Refinement (VCR) trains the policy to prefer high-progress actions. At deployment, a fixed high value ($v=1.0$) biases actions toward the learned success manifold without online failure detectors or heuristic retries. We introduce FRBench, with standardized error injection and recovery-focused evaluation. Across simulated and real-world bimanual tasks, RePO-VLA improves robustness, raising adversarial success from 20% to 75% on average and up to 80% in scaled real-world trials.

Forget by Uncertainty: Orthogonal Entropy Unlearning for Quantized Neural Networks

The deployment of quantized neural networks on edge devices, combined with privacy regulations like GDPR, creates an urgent need for machine unlearning in quantized models. However, existing methods face critical challenges: they induce forgetting by training models to memorize incorrect labels, conflating forgetting with misremembering, and employ scalar gradient reweighting that cannot resolve directional conflicts between gradients. We propose OEU, a novel Orthogonal Entropy Unlearning framework with two key innovations: 1) Entropy-guided unlearning provides an unbiased forgetting direction by maximizing prediction uncertainty on forgotten data, avoiding confident misprediction toward any specific class, and 2) Gradient orthogonal projection eliminates interference by projecting forgetting gradients onto the orthogonal complement of retain gradients, providing theoretical guarantees for utility preservation under first-order approximation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that OEU outperforms existing methods in both forgetting effectiveness and retain accuracy.

SAU: Sparsity-Aware Unlearning for LLMs via Gradient Masking and Importance Redistribution

Large Language Models (LLMs) inevitably memorize sensitive information during training, posing significant privacy risks. Machine unlearning has emerged as a promising solution to selectively remove such information without full retraining. However, existing methods are designed for dense models and overlook model sparsification, an essential technique for efficient LLM deployment. We find that unlearning effectiveness degrades substantially on sparse models. Through empirical analysis, we reveal that this degradation occurs because existing unlearning methods require updating all parameters, yet sparsification prunes substantial weights to zero, fundamentally limiting the model's forgetting capacity. To address this challenge, we propose Sparsity-Aware Unlearning (SAU), which decouples unlearning from sparsification objectives through gradient masking that redirects updates to surviving weights, combined with importance-aware redistribution to compensate for pruned parameters. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SAU significantly outperforms existing methods on sparse LLMs, achieving effective forgetting while preserving model utility.

RoboGPT-R1: Enhancing Robot Task Planning with Reinforcement Learning

Improving the reasoning capabilities of embodied agents is crucial for robots to complete complex human instructions in long-view manipulation tasks successfully. Despite the success of large language models and vision language models based on Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) in planning tasks, they continue facing challenges in performing long-horizon manipulation tasks in complex real-world environments, owing to their restricted common sense and reasoning capabilities. Considering that aligning general-purpose vision language models to robotic planning tasks via supervised fine-tuning suffers from poor generalization and insufficient physical understanding, we propose RoboGPT-R1, a two-stage fine-tuning framework for embodied planning. In this framework, supervised training acquires foundational knowledge through expert sequences, followed by RL to address the model's shortcomings in visual-spatial understanding and reasoning. To achieve physical understanding and action sequence consistency in multi-step reasoning tasks, we design a rule-based reward function that simultaneously considers long-horizon performance and action constraint in the environment. The reasoning model, trained on Qwen2.5-VL-3B, significantly outperforms the larger-scale model, GPT-4o-mini, by 21.33% and surpasses other work trained on Qwen2.5-VL-7B by 20.33% on the EmbodiedBench benchmark.

ArchGPT: Understanding the World's Architectures with Large Multimodal Models

Architecture embodies aesthetic, cultural, and historical values, standing as a tangible testament to human civilization. Researchers have long leveraged virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and augmented reality (AR) to enable immersive exploration and interpretation of architecture, enhancing accessibility, public understanding, and creative workflows around architecture in education, heritage preservation, and professional design practice. However, existing VR/MR/AR systems are often developed case-by-case, relying on hard-coded annotations and task-specific interactions that do not scale across diverse built environments. In this work, we present ArchGPT, a multimodal architectural visual question answering (VQA) model, together with a scalable data-construction pipeline for curating high-quality, architecture-specific VQA annotations. This pipeline yields Arch-300K, a domain-specialized dataset of approximately 315,000 image-question-answer triplets. Arch-300K is built via a multi-stage process: first, we curate architectural scenes from Wikimedia Commons and filter unconstrained tourist photo collections using a novel coarse-to-fine strategy that integrates 3D reconstruction and semantic segmentation to select occlusion-free, structurally consistent architectural images. To mitigate noise and inconsistency in raw textual metadata, we propose an LLM-guided text verification and knowledge-distillation pipeline to generate reliable, architecture-specific question-answer pairs. Using these curated images and refined metadata, we further synthesize formal analysis annotations-including detailed descriptions and aspect-guided conversations-to provide richer semantic variety while remaining faithful to the data. We perform supervised fine-tuning of an open-source multimodal backbone ,ShareGPT4V-7B, on Arch-300K, yielding ArchGPT.

LetheViT: Selective Machine Unlearning for Vision Transformers via Attention-Guided Contrastive Learning

Vision Transformers (ViTs) have revolutionized computer vision tasks with their exceptional performance. However, the introduction of privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA has brought new challenges to them. These laws grant users the right to withdraw their data, necessitating not only the deletion of data but also the complete removal of its influence from trained models. Machine unlearning emerges as a critical solution, with exact unlearning being computationally prohibitive and approximate methods offering a more practical approach. This work addresses the particularly challenging scenario of random data forgetting in ViTs, where the model must forget specific samples while retaining others, even within the same class. We first reveal the core characteristics of ViTs through selective masking experiments: when high-attention areas are masked, the model retains its recognition capability but significantly weakens its memorization ability. Based on the above insights, we propose LetheViT, a contrastive unlearning method tailored for ViTs. LetheViT uses masked image inputs to generate positive logits and original image inputs to generate negative logits, guiding the model to forget specific details while retaining the general cl category outlines. Experimental results demonstrate that LetheViT achieves state-of-the-art performance, effectively balancing privacy compliance with model efficacy.

Taking Language Embedded 3D Gaussian Splatting into the Wild

Recent advances in leveraging large-scale Internet photo collections for 3D reconstruction have enabled immersive virtual exploration of landmarks and historic sites worldwide. However, little attention has been given to the immersive understanding of architectural styles and structural knowledge, which remains largely confined to browsing static text-image pairs. Therefore, can we draw inspiration from 3D in-the-wild reconstruction techniques and use unconstrained photo collections to create an immersive approach for understanding the 3D structure of architectural components? To this end, we extend language embedded 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) and propose a novel framework for open-vocabulary scene understanding from unconstrained photo collections. Specifically, we first render multiple appearance images from the same viewpoint as the unconstrained image with the reconstructed radiance field, then extract multi-appearance CLIP features and two types of language feature uncertainty maps-transient and appearance uncertainty-derived from the multi-appearance features to guide the subsequent optimization process. Next, we propose a transient uncertainty-aware autoencoder, a multi-appearance language field 3DGS representation, and a post-ensemble strategy to effectively compress, learn, and fuse language features from multiple appearances. Finally, to quantitatively evaluate our method, we introduce PT-OVS, a new benchmark dataset for assessing open-vocabulary segmentation performance on unconstrained photo collections. Experimental results show that our method outperforms existing methods, delivering accurate open-vocabulary segmentation and enabling applications such as interactive roaming with open-vocabulary queries, architectural style pattern recognition, and 3D scene editing.

Seg-Wild: Interactive Segmentation based on 3D Gaussian Splatting for Unconstrained Image Collections

Reconstructing and segmenting scenes from unconstrained photo collections obtained from the Internet is a novel but challenging task. Unconstrained photo collections are easier to get than well-captured photo collections. These unconstrained images suffer from inconsistent lighting and transient occlusions, which makes segmentation challenging. Previous segmentation methods cannot address transient occlusions or accurately restore the scene's lighting conditions. Therefore, we propose Seg-Wild, an interactive segmentation method based on 3D Gaussian Splatting for unconstrained image collections, suitable for in-the-wild scenes. We integrate multi-dimensional feature embeddings for each 3D Gaussian and calculate the feature similarity between the feature embeddings and the segmentation target to achieve interactive segmentation in the 3D scene. Additionally, we introduce the Spiky 3D Gaussian Cutter (SGC) to smooth abnormal 3D Gaussians. We project the 3D Gaussians onto a 2D plane and calculate the ratio of 3D Gaussians that need to be cut using the SAM mask. We also designed a benchmark to evaluate segmentation quality in in-the-wild scenes. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to previous methods, Seg-Wild achieves better segmentation results and reconstruction quality. Our code will be available at https://github.com/Sugar0725/Seg-Wild.

DeOcc-1-to-3: 3D De-Occlusion from a Single Image via Self-Supervised Multi-View Diffusion

Reconstructing 3D objects from a single image remains challenging, especially under real-world occlusions. While recent diffusion-based view synthesis models can generate consistent novel views from a single RGB image, they typically assume fully visible inputs and fail when parts of the object are occluded, resulting in degraded 3D reconstruction quality. We propose DeOcc-1-to-3, an end-to-end framework for occlusion-aware multi-view generation that synthesizes six structurally consistent novel views directly from a single occluded image, enabling reliable 3D reconstruction without prior inpainting or manual annotations. Our self-supervised training pipeline leverages occluded-unoccluded image pairs and pseudo-ground-truth views to teach the model structure-aware completion and view consistency. Without modifying the original architecture, we fully fine-tune the view synthesis model to jointly learn completion and multi-view generation. Additionally, we introduce the first benchmark for occlusion-aware reconstruction, covering diverse occlusion levels, object categories, and masking patterns, providing a standardized protocol for future evaluation.

A Joint Learning Framework with Feature Reconstruction and Prediction for Incomplete Satellite Image Time Series in Agricultural Semantic Segmentation

Satellite Image Time Series (SITS) is crucial for agricultural semantic segmentation. However, Cloud contamination introduces time gaps in SITS, disrupting temporal dependencies and causing feature shifts, leading to degraded performance of models trained on complete SITS. Existing methods typically address this by reconstructing the entire SITS before prediction or using data augmentation to simulate missing data. Yet, full reconstruction may introduce noise and redundancy, while the data-augmented model can only handle limited missing patterns, leading to poor generalization. We propose a joint learning framework with feature reconstruction and prediction to address incomplete SITS more effectively. During training, we simulate data-missing scenarios using temporal masks. The two tasks are guided by both ground-truth labels and the teacher model trained on complete SITS. The prediction task constrains the model from selectively reconstructing critical features from masked inputs that align with the teacher's temporal feature representations. It reduces unnecessary reconstruction and limits noise propagation. By integrating reconstructed features into the prediction task, the model avoids learning shortcuts and maintains its ability to handle varied missing patterns and complete SITS. Experiments on SITS from Hunan Province, Western France, and Catalonia show that our method improves mean F1-scores by 6.93% in cropland extraction and 7.09% in crop classification over baselines. It also generalizes well across satellite sensors, including Sentinel-2 and PlanetScope, under varying temporal missing rates and model backbones.

Robust Machine Unlearning for Quantized Neural Networks via Adaptive Gradient Reweighting with Similar Labels

Model quantization enables efficient deployment of deep neural networks on edge devices through low-bit parameter representation, yet raises critical challenges for implementing machine unlearning (MU) under data privacy regulations. Existing MU methods designed for full-precision models fail to address two fundamental limitations in quantized networks: 1) Noise amplification from label mismatch during data processing, and 2) Gradient imbalance between forgotten and retained data during training. These issues are exacerbated by quantized models' constrained parameter space and discrete optimization. We propose Q-MUL, the first dedicated unlearning framework for quantized models. Our method introduces two key innovations: 1) Similar Labels assignment replaces random labels with semantically consistent alternatives to minimize noise injection, and 2) Adaptive Gradient Reweighting dynamically aligns parameter update contributions from forgotten and retained data. Through systematic analysis of quantized model vulnerabilities, we establish theoretical foundations for these mechanisms. Extensive evaluations on benchmark datasets demonstrate Q-MUL's superiority over existing approaches.

Enhancing Scene Classification in Cloudy Image Scenarios: A Collaborative Transfer Method with Information Regulation Mechanism using Optical Cloud-Covered and SAR Remote Sensing Images

In remote sensing scene classification, leveraging the transfer methods with well-trained optical models is an efficient way to overcome label scarcity. However, cloud contamination leads to optical information loss and significant impacts on feature distribution, challenging the reliability and stability of transferred target models. Common solutions include cloud removal for optical data or directly using Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data in the target domain. However, cloud removal requires substantial auxiliary data for support and pre-training, while directly using SAR disregards the unobstructed portions of optical data. This study presents a scene classification transfer method that synergistically combines multi-modality data, which aims to transfer the source domain model trained on cloudfree optical data to the target domain that includes both cloudy optical and SAR data at low cost. Specifically, the framework incorporates two parts: (1) the collaborative transfer strategy, based on knowledge distillation, enables the efficient prior knowledge transfer across heterogeneous data; (2) the information regulation mechanism (IRM) is proposed to address the modality imbalance issue during transfer. It employs auxiliary models to measure the contribution discrepancy of each modality, and automatically balances the information utilization of modalities during the target model learning process at the sample-level. The transfer experiments were conducted on simulated and real cloud datasets, demonstrating the superior performance of the proposed method compared to other solutions in cloud-covered scenarios. We also verified the importance and limitations of IRM, and further discussed and visualized the modality imbalance problem during the model transfer.

Weakly Supervised Framework Considering Multi-temporal Information for Large-scale Cropland Mapping with Satellite Imagery

Accurately mapping large-scale cropland is crucial for agricultural production management and planning. Currently, the combination of remote sensing data and deep learning techniques has shown outstanding performance in cropland mapping. However, those approaches require massive precise labels, which are labor-intensive. To reduce the label cost, this study presented a weakly supervised framework considering multi-temporal information for large-scale cropland mapping. Specifically, we extract high-quality labels according to their consistency among global land cover (GLC) products to construct the supervised learning signal. On the one hand, to alleviate the overfitting problem caused by the model's over-trust of remaining errors in high-quality labels, we encode the similarity/aggregation of cropland in the visual/spatial domain to construct the unsupervised learning signal, and take it as the regularization term to constrain the supervised part. On the other hand, to sufficiently leverage the plentiful information in the samples without high-quality labels, we also incorporate the unsupervised learning signal in these samples, enriching the diversity of the feature space. After that, to capture the phenological features of croplands, we introduce dense satellite image time series (SITS) to extend the proposed framework in the temporal dimension. We also visualized the high dimensional phenological features to uncover how multi-temporal information benefits cropland extraction, and assessed the method's robustness under conditions of data scarcity. The proposed framework has been experimentally validated for strong adaptability across three study areas (Hunan Province, Southeast France, and Kansas) in large-scale cropland mapping, and the internal mechanism and temporal generalizability are also investigated.

Processes and characteristics of methane hydrate formation and decomposition: a microfluidic experimental study

The formation and decomposition of methane hydrates, particularly in porous media such as subsea sediments, have attracted significant research interest due to their implications for energy production, storage, and safety in deep-sea environments. This study explores the process and characteristics of methane hydrates formation and decomposition using microfluidic technology to mimic natural conditions. By incorporating methylene blue, we enhanced phase differentiation, identifying five hydrate types: block, vein, point, membrane, and shell. These forms were influenced by the presence and movement of free gas, which shaped their development. Block and vein hydrates mainly formed in water-filled pores, while point and membrane hydrates appeared as coatings related to gas migration. Shell hydrates formed after gas relocation, filling pores. During dissociation, the presence of free gas accelerated the process significantly, with a dissociation rate approximately 12 times faster than with water alone. Gas migration was key in accelerating hydrate breakdown and fragment formation. This research offers critical insights into methane hydrate behavior, aiding in optimizing natural gas extraction and preventing deep-sea pipeline blockages.

A Comprehensive optimization study of Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) for soil strength enhancement: impact of biochemical and environmental factors

Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) is a biocementation technique that modifies the hydraulic and mechanical properties of porous materials using bacterial solutions. This study evaluates the efficiency of various MICP protocols under different environmental conditions, utilizing two bacterial strains: S. pasteurii and S. aquimarina, to optimize soil strength. Results indicate that bacterial strain and cementation solution concentration significantly affect biochemical outcomes, while temperature is the primary environmental factor. The efficiency of S. pasteurii's chemical conversion ranged from 40% to 80%, compared to only about 20% for S. aquimarina. MICP treatment with S. pasteurii produced CaCO3 content between 5% and 7%, whereas S. aquimarina yielded 0.5% to 1.5%. An optimized cementation solution concentration of 0.5 M was critical for maximum efficiency. The ideal operational temperature is between 20 and 35C, with salinity and oxygen levels having minimal effects. Although salinity influences carbonate crystal characteristics, its impact on Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) of treated soil is minor. Samples from a one-phase treatment at pH 6.0 to 7.5 showed UCS strength approximately half that of a two phase treatment. These findings suggest promising applications for MICP in enhancing strength in both terrestrial and marine environments.

Efficiency and Characteristics of MICP in Environments with Elevated Salinity, Diminished Oxygen, and Lowered Temperature: A Microfluidics Investigation

Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) shows promise for enhancing soil strength, but environmental factors significantly affect its mechanisms. The feasibility of MICP in challenging conditions, such as the soil around piles in shallow seabeds during winter,characterized by high salinity, low oxygen, and cold temperatures,remains uncertain due to limited research. To address this gap, we employed microfluidic techniques and advanced measurement tools, including Raman spectroscopy and SEM, to assess how these conditions influence bacterial growth, calcium carbonate crystallization, and porous medium permeability through MICP.Our findings indicate that cold temperatures notably hinder bacterial growth, while high salinity and low oxygen also play critical roles, particularly reducing bacterial attachment. In seawater environments, high salinity and cold temperatures significantly affect calcium carbonate crystal shape and type; low oxygen has a lesser impact. Specifically, high salinity reduces crystal quantity by 20.2% with minimal effect on diameter, while low oxygen increases diameter by 20.3% but decreases quantity by 50.9%. Cold temperatures decrease diameter by 36.9% without much effect on quantity.After six injections of the cementation solution, MICP treated samples showed a chemical transformation efficiency of 20.6% compared to DI water, primarily due to cold temperatures (contributing 40.1%). An exponential decline in permeability with increasing calcium carbonate content was observed, leading to the categorization of calcium carbonate generation into fast and slow decay types. This study provides insights for optimizing mineralization in marine conditions and emphasizes how environmental factors impact MICP performance, presenting challenges for engineering applications.

Influence of on-site low-ureolysis bacteria and high-ureolysis bacteria on the effectiveness of MICP processes

Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) is an eco-friendly technique that enhances soil mechanical properties using urease-producing microorganisms, especially Sporosarcina pasteurii. However, field trials often yield suboptimal results due to the presence of indigenous soil microbes. To evaluate their impact, bacteria from natural soil were classified into two groups: low-ureolysis and high-ureolysis. These were combined with S. pasteurii in experiments using microfluidic chips and sand columns. The analysis covered bacterial populations, urease activity, pH changes, calcium carbonate crystal metrics, and unconfined compressive strength (UCS). Results indicated that mixing low-ureolysis bacteria with S. pasteurii resulted in a 74-84% reduction in bacterial activity and a 60% decrease in chemical conversion rate, leading to a 60% drop in UCS. In contrast, combining high-ureolysis bacteria with S. pasteurii reduced bacterial activity by 49-54%, which was less than the 64% reduction seen with S. pasteurii alone. This combination improved calcium carbonate conversion rates by 9% to 45% and slightly enhanced UCS.The study highlights the distinct effects of low-ureolysis and high-ureolysis bacteria on MICP efficiency, particularly regarding their influence on pH. Low-ureolysis bacteria decrease pH, while high-ureolysis bacteria increase it. Maintaining high bacterial activity and precipitation rates is crucially dependent on pH levels. Future strategies could focus on reducing the presence of low-ureolysis bacteria or sustaining higher pH levels to enhance MICP effectiveness in field applications.
