HELO-APR: Enhancing Low-Resource Program Repair through Cross-Lingual Knowledge Transfer

Large Language Models (LLMs) perform well on automatic program repair (APR) for high-resource programming languages (HRPLs), but their effectiveness drops sharply in low-resource programming languages (LRPLs), due to a lack of sufficient verified buggy-fixed pairs for APR training. To address this challenge, we propose HELO-APR (High-resource Enabled LOw-resource APR), a two-stage APR framework that enables cross-lingual transfer of repair knowledge from HRPLs to LRPLs. HELO-APR (1) constructs high-quality LRPL training data by synthesizing LRPL buggy-fixed pairs from HRPL counterparts, preserving defect type consistency while ensuring the synthesized code is idiomatic, and then (2) adopts a curriculum learning strategy that progressively performs HRPL repair learning, cross-lingual repair alignment, and LRPL repair adaptation, improving repair effectiveness in LRPLs. Using C++ as the source HRPL and Ruby and Rust as the target LRPLs, experiments on xCodeEval show that HELO-APR consistently outperforms strong baselines, increasing Pass@1 from 31.17% to 48.65% on DeepSeek-Coder-6.7B and from 1.67% to 11.97% on CodeLlama-7B, while improving syntactic validity by raising the average target compilation rate on CodeLlama from 49.77% to 91.98%. On Defects4Ruby, HELO-APR increases BLEU-4 from 61.20 to 66.79 and ROUGE-1 from 76.76 to 83.59 on CodeLlama-7B, indicating higher similarity to developer patches in real-world settings. Finally, we conduct ablation studies to assess the necessity of each core component. These results suggest that verified cross-lingual supervision provides a reusable approach for improving LLM-based repair in low-resource languages.

Chameleon: Benchmarking Detection and Backtracking on Commercial-Grade AI-Generated Videos

The proliferation of AI-Generated Content (AIGC), especially deepfake videos, poses a severe threat to social trust by enabling fraud, privacy violations and disinformation. Existing AI-generated video detection (AGVD) benchmarks focus on open-source model generated videos, yet commercial closed-source models produce more realistic, temporally coherent videos that are underexplored in detection research. To fill this gap, we present Chameleon, a commercial-grade dataset with 1,700 AI-generated videos from 600 real-world sources across three key domains (News, Speech, Recommendation), featuring high resolution, rich annotations and 3D consistency metrics for dynamic scene spatial coherence, shifting detection from face-centric forgery to holistic scene forensics. This benchmark assesses models on two core tasks: accurate AI video detection in real-world conditions and forensic backtracking of original sources. Experimental results reveal critical limitations of existing methods in detecting and backtracking high-fidelity, spatiotemporally consistent videos from commercial closed-source models, highlighting current methods' flawed forensic reasoning and establishing Chameleon as a vital challenge for AIGC security research. The code and data are available at https://github.com/lxixim/Chameleon.

MARINER: A 3E-Driven Benchmark for Fine-Grained Perception and Complex Reasoning in Open-Water Environments

Fine-grained visual understanding and high-level reasoning in real-world open-water environments remain under-explored due to the lack of dedicated benchmarks. We introduce MARINER, a comprehensive benchmark built under the novel Entity-Environment-Event (3E) paradigm. MARINER contains 16,629 multi-source maritime images with 63 fine-grained vessel categories, diverse adverse environments, and 5 typical dynamic maritime incidents, covering fine-grained classification, object detection, and visual question answering tasks. We conduct extensive evaluations on mainstream Multimodal Large language models (MLLMs) and establish baselines, revealing that even advanced models struggle with fine-grained discrimination and causal reasoning in complex marine scenes. As a dedicated maritime benchmark, MARINER fills the gap of realistic and cognitive-level evaluation for maritime multimodal understanding, and promotes future research on robust vision-language models for open-water applications. Appendix and supplementary materials are available at https://lxixim.github.io/MARINER.

HMVI: Unifying Heterogeneous Attributes with Natural Neighbors for Missing Value Inference

Missing value imputation is a fundamental challenge in machine intelligence, heavily dependent on data completeness. Current imputation methods often handle numerical and categorical attributes independently, overlooking critical interdependencies among heterogeneous features. To address these limitations, we propose a novel imputation approach that explicitly models cross-type feature dependencies within a unified framework. Our method leverages both complete and incomplete instances to ensure accurate and consistent imputation in tabular data. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves superior performance over existing techniques and significantly enhances downstream machine learning tasks, providing a robust solution for real-world systems with missing data.

LRQ-Solver: A Transformer-Based Neural Operator for Fast and Accurate Solving of Large-scale 3D PDEs

Solving large-scale Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) on complex three-dimensional geometries represents a central challenge in scientific and engineering computing, often impeded by expensive pre-processing stages and substantial computational overhead. We introduce Low-Rank Query-based PDE Solver (LRQ-Solver), a physics-integrated framework engineered for rapid, accurate, and highly scalable simulations of industrial-grade models. This framework is built upon two primary technical innovations. First, our Parameter Conditioned Lagrangian Modeling (PCLM) approach explicitly couples local physical states with global design parameters, enabling robust predictions across varied simulation configurations. By embedding physical consistency directly into the learning architecture, PCLM ensures that predictions remain physically meaningful even under unseen design conditions, significantly enhancing generalization and reliability. Second, the Low-Rank Query Attention (LR-QA) module leverages the second-order statistics of physical fields to construct a global coherence kernel, reducing the computational complexity of attention from O(N2) to O(NC2 + C3). By replacing point-wise clustering with covariance decomposition, LRQ-Solver achieves exceptional scalability efficiently processing up to 2 million points on a single GPU. Validated on standard benchmarks, LRQ-Solver achieves a 38.9% error reduction on the DrivAerNet++ dataset and 28.76% on the 3D Beam dataset, alongside a training speedup of up to 50 times. Our results establish that LRQ-Solver offers a powerful paradigm for multi-configuration physics simulations, delivering a SOTA combination of accuracy, scalability, and efficiency. Code to reproduce the experiments is available at https://github.com/LilaKen/LRQ-Solver.

PyPop7: A Pure-Python Library for Population-Based Black-Box Optimization

In this paper, we present an open-source pure-Python library called PyPop7 for black-box optimization (BBO). As population-based methods (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, and pattern search) become increasingly popular for BBO, the design goal of PyPop7 is to provide a unified API and elegant implementations for them, particularly in challenging high-dimensional scenarios. Since these population-based methods easily suffer from the notorious curse of dimensionality owing to random sampling as one of core operations for most of them, recently various improvements and enhancements have been proposed to alleviate this issue more or less mainly via exploiting possible problem structures: such as, decomposition of search distribution or space, low-memory approximation, low-rank metric learning, variance reduction, ensemble of random subspaces, model self-adaptation, and fitness smoothing. These novel sampling strategies could better exploit different problem structures in high-dimensional search space and therefore they often result in faster rates of convergence and/or better qualities of solution for large-scale BBO. Now PyPop7 has covered many of these important advances on a set of well-established BBO algorithm families and also provided an open-access interface to adding the latest or missed black-box optimizers for further functionality extensions. Its well-designed source code (under GPL-3.0 license) and full-fledged online documents (under CC-BY 4.0 license) have been freely available at \url{https://github.com/Evolutionary-Intelligence/pypop} and \url{https://pypop.readthedocs.io}, respectively.

Composited-Nested-Learning with Data Augmentation for Nested Named Entity Recognition

Nested Named Entity Recognition (NNER) focuses on addressing overlapped entity recognition. Compared to Flat Named Entity Recognition (FNER), annotated resources are scarce in the corpus for NNER. Data augmentation is an effective approach to address the insufficient annotated corpus. However, there is a significant lack of exploration in data augmentation methods for NNER. Due to the presence of nested entities in NNER, existing data augmentation methods cannot be directly applied to NNER tasks. Therefore, in this work, we focus on data augmentation for NNER and resort to more expressive structures, Composited-Nested-Label Classification (CNLC) in which constituents are combined by nested-word and nested-label, to model nested entities. The dataset is augmented using the Composited-Nested-Learning (CNL). In addition, we propose the Confidence Filtering Mechanism (CFM) for a more efficient selection of generated data. Experimental results demonstrate that this approach results in improvements in ACE2004 and ACE2005 and alleviates the impact of sample imbalance.

MSA-GCN:Multiscale Adaptive Graph Convolution Network for Gait Emotion Recognition

Gait emotion recognition plays a crucial role in the intelligent system. Most of the existing methods recognize emotions by focusing on local actions over time. However, they ignore that the effective distances of different emotions in the time domain are different, and the local actions during walking are quite similar. Thus, emotions should be represented by global states instead of indirect local actions. To address these issues, a novel Multi Scale Adaptive Graph Convolution Network (MSA-GCN) is presented in this work through constructing dynamic temporal receptive fields and designing multiscale information aggregation to recognize emotions. In our model, a adaptive selective spatial-temporal graph convolution is designed to select the convolution kernel dynamically to obtain the soft spatio-temporal features of different emotions. Moreover, a Cross-Scale mapping Fusion Mechanism (CSFM) is designed to construct an adaptive adjacency matrix to enhance information interaction and reduce redundancy. Compared with previous state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method achieves the best performance on two public datasets, improving the mAP by 2\%. We also conduct extensive ablations studies to show the effectiveness of different components in our methods.

FedNoiL: A Simple Two-Level Sampling Method for Federated Learning with Noisy Labels

Federated learning (FL) aims at training a global model on the server side while the training data are collected and located at the local devices. Hence, the labels in practice are usually annotated by clients of varying expertise or criteria and thus contain different amounts of noises. Local training on noisy labels can easily result in overfitting to noisy labels, which is devastating to the global model through aggregation. Although recent robust FL methods take malicious clients into account, they have not addressed local noisy labels on each device and the impact to the global model. In this paper, we develop a simple two-level sampling method "FedNoiL" that (1) selects clients for more robust global aggregation on the server; and (2) selects clean labels and correct pseudo-labels at the client end for more robust local training. The sampling probabilities are built upon clean label detection by the global model. Moreover, we investigate different schedules changing the local epochs between aggregations over the course of FL, which notably improves the communication and computation efficiency in noisy label setting. In experiments with homogeneous/heterogeneous data distributions and noise ratios, we observed that direct combinations of SOTA FL methods with SOTA noisy-label learning methods can easily fail but our method consistently achieves better and robust performance.

SemiNLL: A Framework of Noisy-Label Learning by Semi-Supervised Learning

Deep learning with noisy labels is a challenging task. Recent prominent methods that build on a specific sample selection (SS) strategy and a specific semi-supervised learning (SSL) model achieved state-of-the-art performance. Intuitively, better performance could be achieved if stronger SS strategies and SSL models are employed. Following this intuition, one might easily derive various effective noisy-label learning methods using different combinations of SS strategies and SSL models, which is, however, reinventing the wheel in essence. To prevent this problem, we propose SemiNLL, a versatile framework that combines SS strategies and SSL models in an end-to-end manner. Our framework can absorb various SS strategies and SSL backbones, utilizing their power to achieve promising performance. We also instantiate our framework with different combinations, which set the new state of the art on benchmark-simulated and real-world datasets with noisy labels.

Confusable Learning for Large-class Few-Shot Classification

Few-shot image classification is challenging due to the lack of ample samples in each class. Such a challenge becomes even tougher when the number of classes is very large, i.e., the large-class few-shot scenario. In this novel scenario, existing approaches do not perform well because they ignore confusable classes, namely similar classes that are difficult to distinguish from each other. These classes carry more information. In this paper, we propose a biased learning paradigm called Confusable Learning, which focuses more on confusable classes. Our method can be applied to mainstream meta-learning algorithms. Specifically, our method maintains a dynamically updating confusion matrix, which analyzes confusable classes in the dataset. Such a confusion matrix helps meta learners to emphasize on confusable classes. Comprehensive experiments on Omniglot, Fungi, and ImageNet demonstrate the efficacy of our method over state-of-the-art baselines.

Self-attention-based BiGRU and capsule network for named entity recognition

Named entity recognition(NER) is one of the tasks of natural language processing(NLP). In view of the problem that the traditional character representation ability is weak and the neural network method is unable to capture the important sequence information. An self-attention-based bidirectional gated recurrent unit(BiGRU) and capsule network(CapsNet) for NER is proposed. This model generates character vectors through bidirectional encoder representation of transformers(BERT) pre-trained model. BiGRU is used to capture sequence context features, and self-attention mechanism is proposed to give different focus on the information captured by hidden layer of BiGRU. Finally, we propose to use CapsNet for entity recognition. We evaluated the recognition performance of the model on two datasets. Experimental results show that the model has better performance without relying on external dictionary information.
