Unifying First-Order Coherence, Concurrence, and Bell Correlations in Three-Flavor Neutrino Oscillations

Neutrino oscillations provide a natural setting for investigating the quantum character of flavor conversion and the distribution of quantum resources over macroscopic distances. Here, we study exact relations among purity-based first-order coherence, pairwise concurrence, and the maximal Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) value in coherent three-flavor neutrino oscillations. By expressing the evolving neutrino as a three-qubit single-excitation state, we derive the generally mixed two-qubit reductions and show that the squared first-order coherence of each flavor mode and its two associated squared concurrences sum to unity. Furthermore, a closed two-branch relation is obtained, showing that the maximal CHSH value of any reduced pair is determined by its average first-order coherence and concurrence. The branch structure follows from the correlation-tensor spectrum and yields exact conditions for CHSH violation. For the vacuum parameters and propagation ranges considered, electron preparation gives weak CHSH violations in electroncontaining pairs, while muon preparation produces a dominant utau pair with substantially stronger concurrence and Bell correlations. The comparison also identifies the thirdflavor contribution responsible for the different locations of concurrence and CHSH maxima. These results clarify the distribution of quantum correlations during flavor evolution and provide a basis for extensions to coherent matter propagation and wave-packet-induced mixed states.

DAOS: A Multimodal In-cabin Behavior Monitoring with Driver Action-Object Synergy Dataset

Multimodal action understanding requires complementary sensory observations to be connected with structured semantic knowledge. This is particularly challenging in vehicle cabins, where fine-grained actions exhibit similar upper-body motion, relevant objects may be small or occluded, and appearance varies substantially across illumination conditions. Existing in-cabin datasets, however, rarely provide synchronized visual modalities together with dense object annotations and explicit action--object alignment, limiting the study of object-grounded multimodal recognition. To address this gap, we introduce the Driver Action with Object Synergy (DAOS) dataset, containing 9,787 video clips, 36 fine-grained actions, 15 object categories, and more than 2.5 million annotated object instances. DAOS provides synchronized RGB, infrared, and depth observations from four camera views, thereby combining complementary appearance, low-light, and geometric information. Building on DAOS, we propose the Action-Object-Relation Network (AOR-Net), a vision-language framework that organizes multimodal understanding at three semantic levels: action, object, and human-object relation. Its Chain-of-action Prompting mechanism progressively grounds global motion with localized object and relation cues, while a textual prototype bank supplies corresponding semantic descriptions. A Mixture of Thoughts module then dynamically selects and integrates the most informative semantic levels and visual modalities under object-rich and object-scarce conditions. Extensive experiments show that AOR-Net consistently outperforms strong baselines on DAOS, demonstrating the effectiveness of combining heterogeneous visual sensing with structured action-object-relation semantics for fine-grained multimodal video understanding.

Exact projective-steering boundary and sample-size optimization for angularly averaged hyperon-antihyperon states

In hyperon-antihyperon production through electron-positron annihilation, quantum steering provides a stricter test of nonclassical spin correlations than entanglement. We determine when steering survives angular averaging and optimize angular selections to reduce the sample size needed to resolve it. In the specified production-frame spin convention, we show that windows symmetric about 90 degrees with even production-angle acceptance yield phase-independent Bell-diagonal states. Applying the necessary and sufficient criterion for steering under arbitrary dichotomic projective measurements determines the exact boundary for this family and reveals a steering region missed by the three-setting Cavalcanti-Jones-Wiseman-Reid (CJWR) criterion. For positive production parameters and uniform full-range acceptance, the steering threshold is $α\simeq0.36065$. We derive the covariance of weak-decay angular moments, construct fixed linear witnesses, and optimize the angular window. For $J/ψ\toΛ\barΛ$, steering survives full-range averaging. The statistical model predicts that, after separately optimizing the two angular selections at nominal $z=5$, the required full-range pair sample decreases from $8.61\times10^4$ for CJWR to $2.80\times10^4$ for the projective witness, a 67.4% reduction. This advantage persists under the production-acceptance and analyzing-power variations studied.

PlanWAM: Planning-Shaped Future Representations for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

World models in end-to-end autonomous driving predict future scene evolution to provide foresight for trajectory planning. Existing methods mainly study how to predict the future and how to use it, but less often ask which future representation is actually most useful for planning. To this end, we propose PlanWAM, a Planning-Shaped World Action Model. The key idea is to let the planning task shape the future-state representation, so that it retains the information most useful for planning. A latent world model then predicts this planning-shaped future latent representation from historical observations and uses it for planning, enabling foresighted planning. Specifically, we first use a Temporal Register Pyramid to compress multi-frame historical information in a recency-aware manner, learning a compact history representation oriented toward future reasoning and planning. We then introduce a privileged future posterior branch that observes ground-truth future frames, and shape its future latent representation with trajectory-planning objectives to obtain a planning-shaped future latent representation. Hindsight-to-Foresight Distillation trains a prior branch that depends only on history to predict this future latent representation. The predicted future latent representation serves as planning context and guides trajectory generation and selection. PlanWAM achieves 93.8 PDMS / 90.9 EPDMS on NAVSIM-v1/v2 navtest and reaches 38.7 HD-Score on closed-loop HUGSIM in a zero-shot setting, demonstrating leading planning performance across both open-loop and closed-loop evaluations. Extensive experiments further demonstrate that planning-shaped future representations provide an effective and deployable form of foresight for world-action models.

On Optimal Event-Triggered Distributed Control for Stochastic Multi-Agent Systems via Reinforcement Learning

We propose a reinforcement learning (RL) based optimal distributed control algorithm for the multi-agent systems (MASs) with stochastic uncertainties. Unlike existing methods, during the optimized backstepping design process, we use the actor-critic-identifier structure. The actor neural network is used to reflect control behavior, the critic neural network works to evaluate control performance and the unknown stochastic uncertainties are handled by identifier neural network. Furthermore, a low-pass filter effectively suppresses problems stemming from non-affine nonlinear faults and a hybrid event-triggered control (ETC) strategy is proposed to reduce control frequency. We analyze our algorithm's operation, and we provide a Lyapunov-based stability proof that guarantees all errors are bounded, ensuring precise tracking between the leader and followers. We validate its correctness in a single-axis robotic manipulator simulation and finally, we compare against the non-optimal control algorithm highlighting our optimal control algorithm's operational advantages.

From Prompt to Graph: Comparing LLM-Based Information Extraction Strategies in Domain-Specific Ontology Development

Ontologies are essential for structuring domain knowledge, improving accessibility, sharing, and reuse. However, traditional ontology construction relies on manual annotation and conventional natural language processing (NLP) techniques, making the process labour-intensive and costly, especially in specialised fields like casting manufacturing. The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) offers new possibilities for automating knowledge extraction. This study investigates three LLM-based approaches, including pre-trained LLM-driven method, in-context learning (ICL) method and fine-tuning method to extract terms and relations from domain-specific texts using limited data. We compare their performances and use the best-performing method to build a casting ontology that validated by domian expert.

LithoSeg: A Coarse-to-Fine Framework for High-Precision Lithography Segmentation

Accurate segmentation and measurement of lithography scanning electron microscope (SEM) images are crucial for ensuring precise process control, optimizing device performance, and advancing semiconductor manufacturing yield. Lithography segmentation requires pixel-level delineation of groove contours and consistent performance across diverse pattern geometries and process window. However, existing methods often lack the necessary precision and robustness, limiting their practical applicability. To overcome this challenge, we propose LithoSeg, a coarse-to-fine network tailored for lithography segmentation. In the coarse stage, we introduce a Human-in-the-Loop Bootstrapping scheme for the Segment Anything Model (SAM) to attain robustness with minimal supervision. In the subsequent fine stage, we recast 2D segmentation as 1D regression problem by sampling groove-normal profiles using the coarse mask and performing point-wise refinement with a lightweight MLP. LithoSeg outperforms previous approaches in both segmentation accuracy and metrology precision while requiring less supervision, offering promising prospects for real-world applications.

Exploring new knowledge is a fundamental human ability that can be mirrored in the development of deep neural networks, especially in the field of object detection. Open world object detection (OWOD) is an emerging area of research that adapts this principle to explore new knowledge. It focuses on recognizing and learning from objects absent from initial training sets, thereby incrementally expanding its knowledge base when new class labels are introduced. This survey paper offers a thorough review of the OWOD domain, covering essential aspects, including problem definitions, benchmark datasets, source codes, evaluation metrics, and a comparative study of existing methods. Additionally, we investigate related areas like open set recognition (OSR) and incremental learning (IL), underlining their relevance to OWOD. Finally, the paper concludes by addressing the limitations and challenges faced by current OWOD algorithms and proposes directions for future research. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive survey of the emerging OWOD field with over one hundred references, marking a significant step forward for object detection technology. A comprehensive source code and benchmarks are archived and concluded at https://github.com/ArminLee/OWOD Review.

MultiFuser: Multimodal Fusion Transformer for Enhanced Driver Action Recognition

Driver action recognition, aiming to accurately identify drivers' behaviours, is crucial for enhancing driver-vehicle interactions and ensuring driving safety. Unlike general action recognition, drivers' environments are often challenging, being gloomy and dark, and with the development of sensors, various cameras such as IR and depth cameras have emerged for analyzing drivers' behaviors. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel multimodal fusion transformer, named MultiFuser, which identifies cross-modal interrelations and interactions among multimodal car cabin videos and adaptively integrates different modalities for improved representations. Specifically, MultiFuser comprises layers of Bi-decomposed Modules to model spatiotemporal features, with a modality synthesizer for multimodal features integration. Each Bi-decomposed Module includes a Modal Expertise ViT block for extracting modality-specific features and a Patch-wise Adaptive Fusion block for efficient cross-modal fusion. Extensive experiments are conducted on Drive&Act dataset and the results demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed approach.

Data-driven modeling and supervisory control system optimization for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles

Learning-based intelligent energy management systems for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are crucial for achieving efficient energy utilization. However, their application faces system reliability challenges in the real world, which prevents widespread acceptance by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This paper begins by establishing a PHEV model based on physical and data-driven models, focusing on the high-fidelity training environment. It then proposes a real-vehicle application-oriented control framework, combining horizon-extended reinforcement learning (RL)-based energy management with the equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) to enhance practical applicability, and improves the flawed method of equivalent factor evaluation based on instantaneous driving cycle and powertrain states found in existing research. Finally, comprehensive simulation and hardware-in-the-loop validation are carried out which demonstrates the advantages of the proposed control framework in fuel economy over adaptive-ECMS and rule-based strategies. Compared to conventional RL architectures that directly control powertrain components, the proposed control method not only achieves similar optimality but also significantly enhances the disturbance resistance of the energy management system, providing an effective control framework for RL-based energy management strategies aimed at real-vehicle applications by OEMs.

Generation of subnatural-linewidth orbital angular momentum entangled biphotons using a single driving laser in hot atoms

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) entangled photon pairs with narrow bandwidths play a crucial role in the interaction of light and quantum states of matter. In this article, we demonstrate an approach for generating OAM entangled photon pairs with a narrow bandwidth by using a single driving beam in a $^{85}$Rb atomic vapor cell. This single driving beam is able to simultaneously couple two atomic transitions and directly generate OAM entangled biphotons by leveraging the OAM conservation law through the spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) process. The photon pairs exhibit a maximum cross-correlation function value of 27.7 and a linewidth of 4 MHz. The OAM entanglement is confirmed through quantum state tomography, revealing a fidelity of 95.7\% and a concurrence of 0.926 when compared to the maximally entangled state. Our scheme is notably simpler than previously proposed schemes and represents the first demonstration of generating subnatural-linewidth entangled photon pairs in hot atomic systems.

Gland Segmentation Via Dual Encoders and Boundary-Enhanced Attention

Accurate and automated gland segmentation on pathological images can assist pathologists in diagnosing the malignancy of colorectal adenocarcinoma. However, due to various gland shapes, severe deformation of malignant glands, and overlapping adhesions between glands. Gland segmentation has always been very challenging. To address these problems, we propose a DEA model. This model consists of two branches: the backbone encoding and decoding network and the local semantic extraction network. The backbone encoding and decoding network extracts advanced Semantic features, uses the proposed feature decoder to restore feature space information, and then enhances the boundary features of the gland through boundary enhancement attention. The local semantic extraction network uses the pre-trained DeepLabv3+ as a Local semantic-guided encoder to realize the extraction of edge features. Experimental results on two public datasets, GlaS and CRAG, confirm that the performance of our method is better than other gland segmentation methods.

Multi-modality action recognition based on dual feature shift in vehicle cabin monitoring

Driver Action Recognition (DAR) is crucial in vehicle cabin monitoring systems. In real-world applications, it is common for vehicle cabins to be equipped with cameras featuring different modalities. However, multi-modality fusion strategies for the DAR task within car cabins have rarely been studied. In this paper, we propose a novel yet efficient multi-modality driver action recognition method based on dual feature shift, named DFS. DFS first integrates complementary features across modalities by performing modality feature interaction. Meanwhile, DFS achieves the neighbour feature propagation within single modalities, by feature shifting among temporal frames. To learn common patterns and improve model efficiency, DFS shares feature extracting stages among multiple modalities. Extensive experiments have been carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed DFS model on the Drive\&Act dataset. The results demonstrate that DFS achieves good performance and improves the efficiency of multi-modality driver action recognition.

Zero-Space Cost Fault Tolerance for Transformer-based Language Models on ReRAM

Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) has emerged as a promising platform for deep neural networks (DNNs) due to its support for parallel in-situ matrix-vector multiplication. However, hardware failures, such as stuck-at-fault defects, can result in significant prediction errors during model inference. While additional crossbars can be used to address these failures, they come with storage overhead and are not efficient in terms of space, energy, and cost. In this paper, we propose a fault protection mechanism that incurs zero space cost. Our approach includes: 1) differentiable structure pruning of rows and columns to reduce model redundancy, 2) weight duplication and voting for robust output, and 3) embedding duplicated most significant bits (MSBs) into the model weight. We evaluate our method on nine tasks of the GLUE benchmark with the BERT model, and experimental results prove its effectiveness.

Rethinking Mitosis Detection: Towards Diverse Data and Feature Representation

Mitosis detection is one of the fundamental tasks in computational pathology, which is extremely challenging due to the heterogeneity of mitotic cell. Most of the current studies solve the heterogeneity in the technical aspect by increasing the model complexity. However, lacking consideration of the biological knowledge and the complex model design may lead to the overfitting problem while limited the generalizability of the detection model. In this paper, we systematically study the morphological appearances in different mitotic phases as well as the ambiguous non-mitotic cells and identify that balancing the data and feature diversity can achieve better generalizability. Based on this observation, we propose a novel generalizable framework (MitDet) for mitosis detection. The data diversity is considered by the proposed diversity-guided sample balancing (DGSB). And the feature diversity is preserved by inter- and intra- class feature diversity-preserved module (InCDP). Stain enhancement (SE) module is introduced to enhance the domain-relevant diversity of both data and features simultaneously. Extensive experiments have demonstrated that our proposed model outperforms all the SOTA approaches in several popular mitosis detection datasets in both internal and external test sets using minimal annotation efforts with point annotations only. Comprehensive ablation studies have also proven the effectiveness of the rethinking of data and feature diversity balancing. By analyzing the results quantitatively and qualitatively, we believe that our proposed model not only achieves SOTA performance but also might inspire the future studies in new perspectives.

CGCE: A Chinese Generative Chat Evaluation Benchmark for General and Financial Domains

Generative chat models, such as ChatGPT and GPT-4, have revolutionized natural language generation (NLG) by incorporating instructions and human feedback to achieve significant performance improvements. However, the lack of standardized evaluation benchmarks for chat models, particularly for Chinese and domain-specific models, hinders their assessment and progress. To address this gap, we introduce the Chinese Generative Chat Evaluation (CGCE) benchmark, focusing on general and financial domains. The CGCE benchmark encompasses diverse tasks, including 200 questions in the general domain and 150 specific professional questions in the financial domain. Manual scoring evaluates factors such as accuracy, coherence, expression clarity, and completeness. The CGCE benchmark provides researchers with a standardized framework to assess and compare Chinese generative chat models, fostering advancements in NLG research.

A novel dataset and a two-stage mitosis nuclei detection method based on hybrid anchor branch

Mitosis detection is one of the challenging problems in computational pathology, and mitotic count is an important index of cancer grading for pathologists. However, current counts of mitotic nuclei rely on pathologists looking microscopically at the number of mitotic nuclei in hot spots, which is subjective and time-consuming. In this paper, we propose a two-stage cascaded network, named FoCasNet, for mitosis detection. In the first stage, a detection network named M_det is proposed to detect as many mitoses as possible. In the second stage, a classification network M_class is proposed to refine the results of the first stage. In addition, the attention mechanism, normalization method, and hybrid anchor branch classification subnet are introduced to improve the overall detection performance. Our method achieves the current highest F1-score of 0.888 on the public dataset ICPR 2012. We also evaluated our method on the GZMH dataset released by our research team for the first time and reached the highest F1-score of 0.563, which is also better than multiple classic detection networks widely used at present. It confirmed the effectiveness and generalization of our method. The code will be available at: https://github.com/antifen/mitosis-nuclei-detection.

Sparse Progressive Distillation: Resolving Overfitting under Pretrain-and-Finetune Paradigm

Conventional wisdom in pruning Transformer-based language models is that pruning reduces the model expressiveness and thus is more likely to underfit rather than overfit. However, under the trending pretrain-and-finetune paradigm, we postulate a counter-traditional hypothesis, that is: pruning increases the risk of overfitting when performed at the fine-tuning phase. In this paper, we aim to address the overfitting problem and improve pruning performance via progressive knowledge distillation with error-bound properties. We show for the first time that reducing the risk of overfitting can help the effectiveness of pruning under the pretrain-and-finetune paradigm. Ablation studies and experiments on the GLUE benchmark show that our method outperforms the leading competitors across different tasks.
