Geometry-Grounded Unified 3D Perception for Autonomous Driving

Camera-based autonomous driving perception requires a shared representation that preserves metric 3D structure across synchronized multi-camera streams. However, existing image-based frameworks often rely on backbones pretrained for semantic recognition, and introduce 3D geometry through downstream task-specific modules. As a result, their shared representations may fail to preserve explicit metric geometry and consistent 3D scene structure. In this paper, we present a Geometry-grounded Unified 3D Perception (GeoUP) framework that adapts the reconstruction-oriented latent of VGGT to calibrated, streaming multi-camera driving scenes. GeoUP factorizes cross-image interaction into self, temporal, and view attention to capture structurally distinct temporal and cross-view correspondences. It further injects calibration-aware raymap encodings to provide metric scale and camera geometry. The resulting geometry-grounded latent is decoded for metric depth estimation, 3D object detection, and semantic occupancy prediction, corresponding to surface-, instance-, and volume-level readouts of the same 3D scene. Through joint multi-task and multi-dataset training, GeoUP effectively leverages heterogeneous annotations and generalizes across diverse sensor configurations and perception ranges. Extensive experiments on nuScenes, Argoverse 2, Waymo, KITTI, and DDAD demonstrate that GeoUP achieves SOTA performance across detection, occupancy, and depth estimation. These results validate the effectiveness of geometry-grounded representations for unified 3D driving perception.

SatDL: Jointly Optimizing Data Redistribution and Training for Satellite-Based Distributed Learning

Satellite-based distributed learning promises to train machine-learning models directly in orbit using massive, globally dispersed sensor data, thereby avoiding large-scale data downloads to ground servers. However, training convergence is significantly slowed by severe non-IID data, specifically label imbalance, as each satellite observes different geographic regions with distinct labels. This imbalance extends training duration and increases energy consumption for solar-powered satellites. Existing approaches either fully redistribute data to enforce IID conditions - accelerating convergence but incurring substantial communication delays - or avoid redistribution entirely by modifying local learning algorithms to mitigate the impact of label imbalance, which, however, still prolong training and increase energy use. Both extremes result in excessive total end-to-end learning time (data-transfer delay plus training time) and thus elevated onboard energy consumption. We present SatDL, a data-redistribution framework designed to minimize total end-to-end learning time. At its core, SatDL develops a Distributor-Critic framework that jointly models and optimizes data-transfer delay and training time. Evaluations through trace-driven simulations of a 1,584-satellite Starlink constellation and hardware emulations using NVIDIA Jetson and A100 GPUs across five datasets show SatDL reduces total end-to-end learning time by up to 18.6% and onboard energy consumption by 12.23-88.00%, while maintaining inference accuracy within a few percentage points of state-of-the-art baselines.

WeAgent-MMSearch: Native Text-Vision Interaction for Multimodal Search Agents

Multimodal search agents extend parametric knowledge with newly emerging and long-tail evidence from the open web. Yet many existing agentic search environments often expose retrieved evidence only as text and omit tool-returned images from subsequent context, reducing visually grounded trajectories to text-only reasoning. Long-horizon interaction also compounds tool-call, response-length, timeout, and budget failures, which can discard salvageable trajectories, waste rollout computation, and disturb policy updates. To address these issues, we introduce WeAgent-Harness, a multimodal agentic harness that supports native text-vision interaction and runtime recovery. Retrieved images receive persistent disk references, allowing the model to inspect, process, and cite them throughout the trajectory. Based on this harness, we develop WeAgent-MMSearch, an integrated system spanning data construction, agentic post-training, and multimodal rollout. For data construction, a strong MLLM uses WeAgent-Harness to discover, synthesize, and verify MMSearch-style tasks and collect expert trajectories. During post-training, our Failure-Aware GSPO (FA-GSPO) recovers salvageable abnormal rollouts and filters invalid ones to improve bounded multimodal planning and search. We also introduce VisTarget-Bench, a 150-task human-verified benchmark that pairs each question with a held-out target image, distinguishing image-retrieval failures from visual-perception failures. Evaluation on VisTarget-Bench and seven public benchmarks shows that agentic post-training improves the average score by 19.22 points, enabling our model to outperform similarly sized open-source models and rival models with roughly ten times its parameter count.

GUIDE: Generative Unsupervised Chinese Query Correction via Phonetic and Visual Shared-ID Encoding

Chinese query correction (CQC) is important for search and query recommendation on content platforms, but supervised methods rely on large annotated correction pairs that are costly to maintain as query vocabularies evolve. Unsupervised correction with language models is attractive, yet in the short-query setting, unconstrained generation often over-corrects ambiguous inputs toward high-frequency phrases, causing intent drift. We propose \textsc{GUIDE}, a generative unsupervised framework for CQC based on a confuse-then-clarify paradigm. \textsc{GUIDE} encodes phonetically or visually confusable characters with shared-IDs and reconstructs the original query with an encoder--decoder architecture, which constrains correction to plausible confusion neighborhoods while learning from unlabeled query streams. A time-decayed, query-frequency-weighted objective further supports adaptation to rapidly changing query vocabularies. Experiments on \textit{QSpell 250K} and a large-scale real-world dataset (\textit{KwaiSearch}) show that \textsc{GUIDE} consistently outperforms strong baselines, while online A/B testing further confirms gains in correction quality and downstream engagement.
