Not All Agreement Counts as Corroboration: Provenance-Conserving Multi-View Fusion for Typed Action Admission in Human-Robot Collaboration

For embodied systems, predictive agreement alone does not determine whether evidence warrants action; evidential origin matters. Repeated inference over one observation can multiply agreement without adding evidence, while source-local values do not reveal whether outputs have separately countable origins. PACT treats evidence countability as a relational variable for provenance-conserving fusion and typed action admission. A supplied provenance partition defines countable units. PACT retains coordinatewise support shared within each unit, accumulates only across units, and maps unmet release conditions to hold, confirm, or fallback. Under the stated assumptions, source-local values cannot identify countability; the coordinatewise meet is the greatest budget satisfying singleton fidelity and insertion non-amplification, with coarsening monotonicity and fixed-partition stability. Across 31,200 evaluations in 48 scene clusters, PACT attains a common-support normalized risk-coverage area (ncsAURC) of 0.0861. Excluding the constructed adversarial-consensus arm, provenance-partition aggregation reduces ncsAURC by 0.0557 relative to singleton aggregation, while the corroboration contrast vanishes. On complete-source records, native scores favor PACT, but a common posterior-peak score narrows its difference from nested Dirichlet and favors product fusion. Reassigning provenance over unchanged predictions moves evidence budgets as predicted. In offline human-robot collaboration, eightfold within-camera duplication leaves 720 typed responses per checkpoint unchanged; camera-grouped PACT admits 47 of 57 Qwen3-VL-32B reference-consistent candidates with no observed reference-inconsistent admission in 60 episodes. PACT separates computational from evidential multiplicity: agreement constitutes corroboration only when provenance permits separate accumulation.

LifePlanner: Evaluating LLM Agents for Geo-spatial Planning with Social Media Data

Geo-spatial planning, like trip design, is a realistic testbed for LLM agents because it requires grounded tool use, noisy evidence retrieval, and multi-constraint reasoning. Most benchmarks, however, only provide clean geospatial data and tools, missing the open-ended social signals that people use in daily planning. We introduce LifePlanner, a benchmark that enriches map data with large-scale local social media posts and provides access through an MCP toolset. LifePlanner provides an evaluation suite spanning four task categories and three difficulty levels. Experiments show frontier LLMs perform well on simple retrieval but degrade sharply on complex planning, with the Pass Rate dropping to 40.2%. Results show that failures mainly stem from incomplete evidence acquisition from such a large multimodal database, imprecise tool use, and weak constraint integration rather than model size or reasoning length, suggesting that future progress requires effective grounded planning instead of scaling alone.

LEGO: Leveled Language Gaussian Splatting

We introduce LEGO for advanced open-vocabulary scene understanding. Beyond basic concept recognition, its core innovation lies in capturing the intrinsic semantic hierarchies within the scene, such as the "flowerpot -> bouquet -> bud -> petal" lineage. While foundation models like SAM can identify multi-granular structures in 2D, their partitions are strictly perspective-bound and lack cross-view consensus. LEGO self-adaptively re-grades volatile multi-view SAM granularities into a unified, 3D-consistent hierarchy. This provides precise supervision for the structurally coherent, multi-level segmentation of 3D scenes. By grounding these segments with CLIP embeddings, LEGO recovers open-vocabulary semantic logic across hierarchical levels. Furthermore, by incorporating spatial relationships, we elevate these segments into level-wise language scene graphs, effectively empowering Large Language Models to perform complex, context-aware spatial reasoning and precise visual grounding. Experimental results demonstrate that LEGO establishes new state-of-the-art performance across both promptable and open-vocabulary 3D segmentation benchmarks, exhibiting advanced hierarchical scene decomposition and context-aware spatial reasoning.

RESTOR: Automated Test Oracle Generation for RESTful APIs via Reinforcement Learning

Modern REST API testing faces a critical challenge in defining reliable test oracles, particularly in agile industrial environments where formal specifications (e.g., OpenAPI) are frequently missing or outdated, and historical execution logs are unavailable for newly deployed endpoints. In this paper, we present Restor (Reinforcement Enhanced Single-Traffic Oracle generator for REST APIs), a framework that generates executable test assertions from a single observed request-response pair in a black-box setting. Unlike existing approaches that rely on rule-based templates or massive training logs, Restor utilizes a novel data augmentation pipeline to fine-tune a lightweight Large Language Model (LLM) via Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). This training process enables the model to internalize testing "common sense" by optimizing a reward function that jointly encourages: (i) the selection of stable, semantically meaningful fields for validation and the avoidance of dynamic noise (e.g., timestamps or trace IDs); (ii) the generation of robust assertions that withstand logic variations. We evaluate Restor on an industrial dataset comprising over 2,300 API traces across 246 real-world services. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that Restor significantly outperforms prompt-engineered baselines and generalist models, achieving a superior $F_1$ score of 85.42% in key field identification and increasing the proportion of semantically accurate assertions. Furthermore, deployment in a production CI/CD workflow at ByteDance confirms its practical value: the system raised the adoption rate of automatically generated test cases from 74.1% to over 96%, substantially reducing manual Quality Assurance (QA) effort while ensuring high execution stability.

Industrial Practice of LLM-Based Test Case Carving and Assertion Generation (Experience Paper)

Enterprise regression testing for microservice systems is often constrained by incomplete or outdated documentation. In practice, QA engineers frequently rely on real execution traffic to reconstruct business scenarios; however, turning raw traffic into replayable regression tests with stable validation logic remains labor-intensive and error-prone. This paper presents NL2Test, an end-to-end approach and tool that generates executable API regression tests from (i) a natural-language scenario description and (ii) a traffic capture recorded while executing the scenario. NL2Test addresses two coupled tasks: test case carving, which extracts a minimal replayable request sequence and reconstructs data dependencies so that dynamic values are bound from their responses rather than hard-coded; and assertion generation, which produces assertions aligned with business intent while avoiding non-deterministic fields and hallucinated paths. To improve reliability, NL2Test uses LLMs for semantic interpretation and constrained code synthesis, and uses deterministic algorithms for request filtering, dependency confirmation via value consistency, and assertion-path validation. We evaluate NL2Test on 51 industrial regression scenarios extracted from a large consumer-facing Internet company. NL2Test achieves an exact-match rate of 82.4% (42/51), and produces a functionally usable draft in 98.0% (50/51) of scenarios when allowing minor post-edits. In a 9-month production deployment starting in March 2025, NL2Test generated 3,196 test cases with an overall code adoption rate of 85.4%. These results indicate that traffic-grounded generation with deterministic guardrails can substantially reduce manual effort while improving regression automation in complex microservice environments.

DTIF: Robust Loop Closure Detection via Delaunay Triangle Topology in Complex Forests

Accurate forest inventory and large-scale mapping are essential for ecosystem monitoring and sustainable forest management. Multiple low-cost edge platforms enable efficient large-area data acquisition, but merging independently constructed local maps in GNSS-denied understory environments still requires initialization-free loop closure detection and global registration. This task is challenging because low-cost LiDAR point clouds are sparse and noisy, while repetitive trunk layouts and the lack of distinctive geometric landmarks lead to severe perceptual aliasing and false correspondences. To address these issues, we propose DTIF (Delaunay Triangulation in Forests), a lightweight trunk-topology-based framework for forest loop closure detection and global registration. Tree trunks are first extracted as stable landmarks and encoded using a Delaunay topology for compact scene representation. Candidate submaps are then screened using edge-length and radius statistics, followed by edge--radius consistency verification and strong/weak vertex support aggregation to construct weighted vertex correspondences. Finally, topology-derived reliability weights are incorporated into a decoupled robust pose estimator that separately estimates yaw, horizontal translation, and elevation translation under gravity alignment. Experiments on simulated and real-world forest datasets demonstrate that DTIF achieves accurate registration with low computational overhead, providing a favorable balance among robustness, efficiency, and deployability on resource-constrained edge platforms.

Coresets Before Score Sets: Evaluation-Unsupervised Prompt Subset Selection for LLM Benchmarks

We study LLM benchmark coreset selection: selecting a small subset of prompts over multiple benchmarks whose induced model scores and rankings approximate those obtained from the full benchmark suite. In evaluation-unsupervised benchmark coreset selection (our approach), the selection algorithm uses no model evaluation outcomes, and operates on a fine granularity by producing subsets of prompts over multiple benchmarks rather than producing a sub-collection of entire benchmarks. We use submodular subset selection, and we develop and evaluate many different submodular functions for this purpose, including determinantal point process (DPP) based approaches, submodular mutual information functions, and facility location-based functions. On a new large-scale suite of 35 heterogeneous benchmarks spanning five different capability categories, 18 frontier LLMs, and over 61K prompts, we find that the facility location (FL) function operating exclusively on inexpensive semantic prompt embeddings preserves LLM scores better than twelve separate score-based and diversity-based baselines, across a range of coreset budgets. Moreover, we show our proposed objective is not limited to the evaluation-unsupervised regime: in the setting where only a handful of whole benchmarks must be selected and a large amount of model scores are available, the same objective matches or outperforms state-of-the-art baselines on the MMLU and MTEB leaderboards, while being substantially cheaper to compute. Together, our results suggest that submodularity, in general, is a strong and reliable tool for benchmark compression.

HumanScale: Egocentric Human Video Can Outperform Real-Robot Data for Embodied Pretraining

Embodied foundation models are expected to benefit from data scaling like large language models, but face a much tighter data bottleneck. Teleoperated real-robot trajectories remain the dominant pretraining source due to their precise action supervision and embodiment alignment, yet their scalability is limited by high collection cost, acquisition difficulty, and low behavioral and environmental diversity. These limitations have sparked interest in egocentric human video as a scalable, substantially lower-cost, and more diverse alternative for embodied model pretraining. However, its effectiveness compared to teleoperated real-robot data remains underexplored. To address this question, we conduct a systematic study comparing egocentric human video and teleoperated real-robot trajectories as pretraining data sources for embodied foundation models, under fixed post-training and validation protocols. Surprisingly, we find that egocentric data, when processed through a carefully designed filtering and labeling pipeline, is not merely a viable substitute for model pretraining but can lead to superior performance. With the same amount of pretraining data, models pretrained on egocentric data achieve a 24% lower validation loss on real-robot action prediction, as well as 52.5% and 90% higher success rates on in-distribution and out-of-distribution real-robot task execution, respectively. This finding verifies a scalable paradigm for embodied foundation models: pretrain on egocentric human video to learn diverse world representations, then adapt with a small amount of labeled real-robot data for action-space alignment. We hope this study encourages broader exploration of egocentric data and offers guidance for data quality assessment before costly robot data collection.

WHU-Infra3D: A Full-stack Multi-modal Dataset and Benchmark for 3D Roadside Infrastructure Inventory

The paradigm of digital twin cities is shifting from coarse visual mapping toward more precise and actionable digitization of urban assets. However, existing datasets predominantly focus on coarse visual perception, lacking the strict multi-modal alignment and attribute and status diagnosis required for automated infrastructure maintenance. To bridge this gap, we introduce WHU-Infra3D, a large-scale, multi-modal benchmark dataset dedicated to roadside infrastructure inventory. Covering 53.8 km across three cities, WHU-Infra3D uniquely integrates panoramic imagery and LiDAR point clouds with rigorous 2D-3D instance association and cross-frame tracking. Comprising over 175k multi-view 2D bounding boxes alongside thousands of 3D infrastructure instances, the dataset provides over 181k detailed attribute and status annotations (e.g., rust, occlusion) to empower operational health assessment. We establish comprehensive baselines across five core tasks: 2D detection, 2D cross-view matching, 3D geo-identification, 3D point cloud segmentation, and attribute recognition. Extensive evaluations expose significant cross-city domain gaps and inherent vulnerabilities of current models on long-tailed defective statuses, establishing WHU-Infra3D as an essential testbed for advancing scalable, AI-driven urban infrastructure inventory and lifecycle management. The WHU-Infra3D dataset is available at https://github.com/WHU-USI3DV/WHU-Infra3D.

CV-Arena: An Open Benchmark for Instructional Computer Vision Problem Solving with Human-AI Collaborative Preferences

Instruction-guided image editing is becoming a general interface for visual work, yet existing benchmarks still focus largely on narrow appearance edits and do not fully capture the diversity of real-image tasks in professional workflows. Here, we define instructional computer vision problem solving as a broader formulation of image editing: given a real input image and a natural-language instruction, a system must produce an edited output that realizes the requested transformation while satisfying explicit preservation, geometric, physical, and usability constraints. We introduce CV-Arena, an open benchmark designed to evaluate this capability at professional scales. CV-Arena contains 12K high-resolution real-image instruction pairs spanning 16 instruction-based visual task types, constructed using CogRetriever, a dual-track retrieval-and-curation pipeline that combines targeted web search, agentic query refinement, verification, and traceability. To evaluate models at scale while preserving human fidelity, we propose Active Elo, a human-AI collaborative preference protocol that leverages CV-Judge, a logic-gated, multi-dimensional VLM evaluator, to reject clear failures and resolve high-confidence comparisons; and to route close, high-quality comparisons to expert raters. Mixed human and AI supervision is then aggregated through reliability-weighted Elo updates. Our comprehensive evaluation of 21 systems, including proprietary, open-source, and agentic models, on CV-Arena reveals persistent gaps in instruction adherence, physical reasoning, structural control, and fine-grained detail preservation. We further develop CV-Agent, a lightweight agentic model that combines planning, editing, and verification, and demonstrate that closed-loop reasoning is a promising direction for professional-grade instruction-following visual editing.

HorizonDrive: Self-Corrective Autoregressive World Model for Long-horizon Driving Simulation

Closed-loop driving simulation requires real-time interaction beyond short offline clips, pushing current driving world models toward autoregressive (AR) rollout. Existing AR distillation approaches typically rely on frame sinks or student-side degradation training. The former transfers poorly to driving due to fast ego-motion and rapid scene changes, while the latter remains bounded by the teacher's single-pass output length and thus provides only a limited supervision horizon. A natural question is: can the teacher itself be extended via AR rollout to provide unbounded-horizon supervision at bounded memory cost? The key difficulty is that a standard teacher drifts under its own predictions, contaminating the supervision it provides. Our key insight is to make the teacher rollout-capable, ensuring reliable supervision from its own AR rollouts. This is instantiated as HorizonDrive, an anti-drifting training-and-distillation framework for AR driving simulation. First, scheduled rollout recovery (SRR) trains the base model to reconstruct ground-truth future clips from prediction-corrupted histories, yielding a teacher that remains stable across long AR rollouts. Second, the rollout-capable teacher is extended via AR rollout, providing long-horizon distribution-matching supervision under bounded memory, while a short-window student aligns to it with teacher rollout DMD (TRD) for efficient real-time deployment. HorizonDrive natively supports minute-scale AR rollout under bounded memory; on nuScenes, HorizonDrive reduces FID by 52% and FVD by 37%, and lowers ARE and DTW by 21% and 9% relative to the strongest long-horizon streaming baselines, while remaining competitive with single-pass driving video generators.

Outstanding TC Enhancement in 5d-3d Y2NiIrO6 by Compression

Understanding and predicting the properties of 5d compounds critically depend on the identification of the superexchange interactions from which their magnetism emerges. The study of pressure effects on double perovskite Y2NiIrO6 (YNIO) provides deep insight toward this goal. At ambient pressure, YNIO is a ferrimagnetic insulator with the Ir4+-5d Jeff = 1/2 Mott-insulating state. Under physical pressure up to 17 GPa, the compound exhibits concurrent compression on Ni/Ir-O bond lengths and Ni-O-Ir bond angles, leading to an increase of the Curie temperature from 192 to 243 K. On the contrary, external pressure increases distanced Ir-Ir interaction and in turn induces magnetic frustration in Sr2IrO4/Sr3Ir2O7 due to the extended 5d orbitals. In YNIO, the rock-salt ordered Ni-Ir naturally blocks extended superexchange beyond the nearest neighbor, and in turn suppresses such magnetic frustration. Moreover, the orthogonal Ni eg-Ir t2g pathway in YNIO is robust under lattice distortion, while the superexchange is weakened by bond bending in La2NiMnO6 with a similar half-filed eg-t2g configuration. Our findings establish a framework for elucidating the mechanism of 5d-3d superexchange and guide bond-engineered magnetism in iridate-related systems.

DPG-CD: Depth-Prior-Guided Cross-Modal Joint 2D-3D Change Detection

Urban spatial evolution is manifested not only through horizontal expansion but also through vertical structural changes. Consequently, jointly capturing 2D semantic changes and 3D height changes is essential for urban morphology analysis and emergency management. In practical scenarios, collecting 3D observations is often constrained by high acquisition costs and the inability to support frequent updates. The multi-temporal cross-modal input consisting of pre-event Digital Surface Model (DSM) and post-event imagery provides a practical solution for 3D change detection in high-frequency urban monitoring, disaster assessment, and emergency response scenarios. However, this setting remains challenging as imagery and DSM data exhibit significant spectral-geometric representation gaps. Moreover, modality differences may be confused with actual changes, and robust change detection requires effective fusion of semantic and geometric features from multi-temporal data. In this paper, we propose DPG-CD, a depth-prior-guided multi-temporal cross-modal fusion framework for joint 2D semantic and 3D height change detection. Specifically, an estimated depth prior is introduced into the imagery to mitigate the modality gap with DSM. A gated fusion mechanism then selectively injects geometric cues from depth prior while preserving discriminative spectral representations. Subsequently, a multi-stage cross-temporal cross-modal feature fusion architecture is employed to extract change-aware features. Finally, a multi-task decoder jointly predicts 2D semantic changes and 3D height changes, complemented by an auxiliary DSM prediction task to improve structural consistency and height estimation accuracy. Experiments on two public datasets, Hi-BCD and 3DCD, and a new dataset, NYC-MMCD, demonstrate that DPG-CD outperforms state-of-the-art methods on both 2D and 3D change detection tasks.

Arena as Offline Reward: Efficient Fine-Grained Preference Optimization for Diffusion Models

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) effectively promotes preference alignment of text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models. To improve computational efficiency, direct preference optimization (DPO), which avoids explicit reward modeling, has been widely studied. However, its reliance on binary feedback limits it to coarse-grained modeling on chosen-rejected pairs, resulting in suboptimal optimization. In this paper, we propose ArenaPO, which leverages Arena scores as offline rewards to provide refined feedback, thus achieving efficient and fine-grained optimization without a reward model. This enables ArenaPO to benefit from both the rich rewards of traditional RLHF and the efficiency of DPO. Specifically, we first construct a model Arena in which each model's capability is represented as a Gaussian distribution, and infer these capabilities by traversing the annotated pairwise preferences. Each output image is treated as a sample from the corresponding capability distribution. Then, for a image pair, conditioned on the two capability distributions and the observed pairwise preference, the absolute quality gap is estimated using latent-variable inference based on truncated normal distribution, which serves as fine-grained feedback during training. It does not require a reward model and can be computed offline, thus introducing no additional training overhead. We conduct ArenaPO training on Pick-a-Pic v2 and HPD v3 datasets, showing that ArenaPO consistently outperforms existing baselines.

OSAQ: Outlier Self-Absorption for Accurate Low-bit LLM Quantization

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities. However, their massive parameter scale leads to significant resource consumption and latency during inference. Post-training weight-only quantization offers a promising solution by reducing model size and accelerating token generation through alleviating the memory-bound issue. Nevertheless, the presence of inherent systematic outliers in weights continues to be a major obstacle. While existing methods, such as scaling and rotation, attempt to address this issue, the performance remains unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose Outlier Self-Absorption Quantization (OSAQ), which performs additive weight suppression guided by the second-order low-rank property for low-bit weight-only quantization of LLMs. Specifically, we observe that the Hessian exhibits low-rank consistency across different inputs, with certain directions consistently showing vanishing curvature. Leveraging this property, we identify a stable null space of the Hessian and then construct an additive weight transformation by linearly combining the vectors within this null space, thereby suppressing weight outliers without affecting the task loss. This additive transformation can be absorbed into the weights offline, requiring no inter-layer transformations and introducing no inference overhead. Moreover, the construction is efficiently achieved by a closed-form solution, without resource-intensive training or iterative procedures. Extensive experiments demonstrate that OSAQ effectively suppresses outliers and enhances low-bit quantization performance. For instance, in 2-bit quantization, OSAQ, when integrated with GPTQ, achieves over 40% lower perplexity compared to vanilla GPTQ.

TS-Attn: Temporal-wise Separable Attention for Multi-Event Video Generation

Generating high-quality videos from complex temporal descriptions that contain multiple sequential actions is a key unsolved problem. Existing methods are constrained by an inherent trade-off: using multiple short prompts fed sequentially into the model improves action fidelity but compromises temporal consistency, while a single complex prompt preserves consistency at the cost of prompt-following capability. We attribute this problem to two primary causes: 1) temporal misalignment between video content and the prompt, and 2) conflicting attention coupling between motion-related visual objects and their associated text conditions. To address these challenges, we propose a novel, training-free attention mechanism, Temporal-wise Separable Attention (TS-Attn), which dynamically rearranges attention distribution to ensure temporal awareness and global coherence in multi-event scenarios. TS-Attn can be seamlessly integrated into various pre-trained text-to-video models, boosting StoryEval-Bench scores by 33.5% and 16.4% on Wan2.1-T2V-14B and Wan2.2-T2V-A14B with only a 2% increase in inference time. It also supports plug-and-play usage across models for multi-event image-to-video generation. The source code and project page are available at https://github.com/Hong-yu-Zhang/TS-Attn.

Style-Decoupled Adaptive Routing Network for Underwater Image Enhancement

Underwater Image Enhancement (UIE) is essential for robust visual perception in marine applications. However, existing methods predominantly rely on uniform mapping tailored to average dataset distributions, leading to over-processing mildly degraded images or insufficient recovery for severe ones. To address this challenge, we propose a novel adaptive enhancement framework, SDAR-Net. Unlike existing uniform paradigms, it first decouples specific degradation styles from the input and subsequently modulates the enhancement process adaptively. Specifically, since underwater degradation primarily shifts the appearance while keeping the scene structure, SDAR-Net formulates image features into dynamic degradation style embeddings and static scene structural representations through a carefully designed training framework. Subsequently, we introduce an adaptive routing mechanism. By evaluating style features and adaptively predicting soft weights at different enhancement states, it guides the weighted fusion of the corresponding image representations, accurately satisfying the adaptive restoration demands of each image. Extensive experiments show that SDAR-Net achieves a new state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance with a PSNR of 25.72 dB on real-world benchmark, and demonstrates its utility in downstream vision tasks. Our code is available at https://github.com/WHU-USI3DV/SDAR-Net.

AWARE: Adaptive Whole-body Active Rotating Control for Enhanced LiDAR-Inertial Odometry under Human-in-the-Loop Interaction

Human-in-the-loop (HITL) UAV operation is essential in complex and safety-critical aerial surveying environments, where human operators provide navigation intent while onboard autonomy must maintain accurate and robust state estimation. A key challenge in this setting is that resource-constrained UAV platforms are often limited to narrow-field-of-view LiDAR sensors. In geometrically degenerate or feature-sparse scenes, limited sensing coverage often weakens LiDAR Inertial Odometry (LIO)'s observability, causing drift accumulation, degraded geometric accuracy, and unstable state estimation, which directly compromise safe and effective HITL operation and the reliability of downstream surveying products. To overcome this limitation, we present AWARE, a bio-inspired whole-body active yawing framework that exploits the UAV's own rotational agility to extend the effective sensor horizon and improve LIO's observability without additional mechanical actuation. The core of AWARE is a differentiable Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework embedded in a Reinforcement Learning (RL) loop. It first identifies the viewing direction that maximizes information gain across the full yaw space, and a lightweight RL agent then adjusts the MPC cost weights online according to the current environmental context, enabling an adaptive balance between estimation accuracy and flight stability. A Safe Flight Corridor mechanism further ensures operational safety within this HITL paradigm by decoupling the operator's navigational intent from autonomous yaw optimization to enable safe and efficient cooperative control. We validate AWARE through extensive experiments in diverse simulated and real-world environments.
