Retaining Repair Hypotheses for Cost-Aware Execution

Abstract

Several corrections of an executable model can fit the same observations while predicting different execution outcomes. We study a repair-to-execution interface that retains compatible finite guard repairs, conditions their weights on diagnostic and ordinary-execution observations, and uses their predictions to choose routes, priced tests, or a backup. On 24 synthetic two-stage devices, an equal mixture of a language-model-generated repair and a uniform belief over compatible repairs (the AI-weighted belief) lowers no-test cost by 2.14 percent relative to committing to the generated repair. Access charges can erase the benefit of diagnosis on isolated tasks, while repeated work can recover it under the AI-weighted belief. With normal-execution learning in every repeated-work arm, workload-valued testing costs 3.33 percent less than same-budget random selection under the AI-weighted belief. Weighting changes the comparison: uniform normal learning costs 540.75 less than AI-weighted normal learning on this cohort, with a device-paired interval excluding zero. Testing recovers part of that gap, but uniform normal learning still has a lower aggregate cost than AI-weighted workload-valued selection. Under uniform beliefs, information-gain selection has the lowest total among the compared selectors, while workload-valued testing costs more than normal learning. These results support retaining alternatives to a generated repair and evaluating diagnostic selection together with repair weighting and learning from execution.

Invert4TVG: A Temporal Video Grounding Framework with Inversion Tasks Preserving Action Understanding Ability

Temporal Video Grounding (TVG) aims to localize video segments corresponding to a given textual query, which often describes human actions. However, we observe that current methods, usually optimizing for high temporal Intersection-over-Union (IoU), frequently struggle to accurately recognize or understand the underlying actions in both the video and query, thus reducing the effectiveness of these methods. To address this, we propose a novel TVG framework that integrates inversion-based TVG as auxiliary objectives to maintain the model's action understanding ability. We introduce three kinds of inversion TVG tasks derived from the original TVG annotations: (1) Verb Completion, predicting masked verbs (actions) in queries given video segments; (2) Action Recognition, identifying query-described actions; and (3) Video Description, generating descriptions containing query-relevant actions given video segments. These inversion tasks are entirely derived from the original TVG tasks and are probabilistically integrated with them within a reinforcement learning framework. By leveraging carefully designed reward functions, the model preserves its ability to understand actions, thereby improving the accuracy of temporal grounding. Experiments show our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, achieving a 7.1\% improvement in R1@0.7 on Charades-STA for a 3B model.

Pharos-ESG: A Framework for Multimodal Parsing, Contextual Narration, and Hierarchical Labeling of ESG Report

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are reshaping the foundations of global financial governance, transforming capital allocation architectures, regulatory frameworks, and systemic risk coordination mechanisms. However, as the core medium for assessing corporate ESG performance, the ESG reports present significant challenges for large-scale understanding, due to chaotic reading order from slide-like irregular layouts and implicit hierarchies arising from lengthy, weakly structured content. To address these challenges, we propose Pharos-ESG, a unified framework that transforms ESG reports into structured representations through multimodal parsing, contextual narration, and hierarchical labeling. It integrates a reading-order modeling module based on layout flow, hierarchy-aware segmentation guided by table-of-contents anchors, and a multi-modal aggregation pipeline that contextually transforms visual elements into coherent natural language. The framework further enriches its outputs with ESG, GRI, and sentiment labels, yielding annotations aligned with the analytical demands of financial research. Extensive experiments on annotated benchmarks demonstrate that Pharos-ESG consistently outperforms both dedicated document parsing systems and general-purpose multimodal models. In addition, we release Aurora-ESG, the first large-scale public dataset of ESG reports, spanning Mainland China, Hong Kong, and U.S. markets, featuring unified structured representations of multi-modal content, enriched with fine-grained layout and semantic annotations to better support ESG integration in financial governance and decision-making.

PRISM: Pushing the Frontier of Deep Think via Process Reward Model-Guided Inference

DEEPTHINK methods improve reasoning by generating, refining, and aggregating populations of candidate solutions, which enables strong performance on complex mathematical and scientific tasks. However, existing frameworks can still suffer from unreliable correctness signals during inference, which creates a population- enhancement bottleneck where deeper deliberation amplifies errors, suppresses correct minority solutions, and yields weak returns to additional compute. In this paper, we introduce a functional decomposition of DEEPTHINK systems and propose PRISM, a Process Reward Model (PRM)-guided inference algorithm that uses step-level verification to guide resampling, proposal acceptance, and solution aggregation. During refinement, PRISM uses PRM scores to guide population resampling and stochastic local refinement, which concentrates computation on higher-quality reasoning while preserving diversity. When paired with PRM- score-vote, a PRM-guided aggregation method, PRISM is competitive with or outperforms existing DEEPTHINK methods, reaching 90.0%, 75.4%, and 71.4% with gpt-oss-20b on AIME25, HMMT25, and GPQA Diamond, respectively, while exceeding gpt-oss-120b. Additionally, our analysis shows that PRISM produces consistent net-directional correction during refinement and maintains competitive accuracy when the initial population contains few correct candidates.
