From Laboratory to Real World: A New Benchmark Towards Privacy-Preserved Visible-Infrared Person Re-Identification

Aiming to match pedestrian images captured under varying lighting conditions, visible-infrared person re-identification (VI-ReID) has drawn intensive research attention and achieved promising results. However, in real-world surveillance contexts, data is distributed across multiple devices/entities, raising privacy and ownership concerns that make existing centralized training impractical for VI-ReID. To tackle these challenges, we propose L2RW, a benchmark that brings VI-ReID closer to real-world applications. The rationale of L2RW is that integrating decentralized training into VI-ReID can address privacy concerns in scenarios with limited data-sharing regulation. Specifically, we design protocols and corresponding algorithms for different privacy sensitivity levels. In our new benchmark, we ensure the model training is done in the conditions that: 1) data from each camera remains completely isolated, or 2) different data entities (e.g., data controllers of a certain region) can selectively share the data. In this way, we simulate scenarios with strict privacy constraints which is closer to real-world conditions. Intensive experiments with various server-side federated algorithms are conducted, showing the feasibility of decentralized VI-ReID training. Notably, when evaluated in unseen domains (i.e., new data entities), our L2RW, trained with isolated data (privacy-preserved), achieves performance comparable to SOTAs trained with shared data (privacy-unrestricted). We hope this work offers a novel research entry for deploying VI-ReID that fits real-world scenarios and can benefit the community.

Shallow Queries, Mature Values: Depth-Asynchronous Self-Speculation for Looped Transformers

Looped Transformers reuse a shared block across recurrent depths, making autoregressive decoding expensive because every generated token requires many sequential recurrent passes. Self-speculative decoders reduce this cost by drafting at an early depth and verifying at full depth, but typically bind draft computation to prefix representations from the same recurrent depth. We find that queries and keys approach their final-depth representations earlier than values, and controlled prefix-channel interventions show that mature values substantially improve shallow draft predictions. Motivated by this asymmetry, we introduce Depth-Asynchronous Self-Speculation (DAS), which decouples the depth of draft computation from the depth of verified-prefix representations it reads. Its Mature-V primitive lets shallow queries retrieve full-depth prefix values without additional recurrent computation. We further develop DAS-Wave, which combines depth-asynchronous prefix reads with carried parallel refinement, progressive block growth, and an independent full-depth verifier. Across four recurrent-model checkpoints and mathematics and code workloads, DAS-Wave achieves 4.00--6.96$\times$ mean throughput speedup over paired full-depth autoregressive decoding in the same inference stack. These results identify prefix-information depth as an effective design axis for recurrent self-speculation.

Antisymmetric breathing in altermagnetic skyrmions

A skyrmion in an altermagnet with \(d\) wave symmetry consists of two elliptical sublattice textures with perpendicular long axes. For each sublattice component $η=A,B$, we define an effective skyrmion radius $R_η=\sqrt{a_ηb_η}$, where $a_η$ and $b_η$ are the distances from the skyrmion center to its boundary along $y$ and $x$, respectively. For the anisotropic exchange parameters studied, the equilibrium radius at zero field is smaller than in a reference with parallel sublattice textures and otherwise identical parameters. A magnetic field perpendicular to the film expands one sublattice skyrmion and contracts the other, generating a radius difference $\dR=R_A-R_B$ and a net magnetic moment. The exchange modulation used to represent uniaxial strain also produces a nonzero radius difference at zero field. Because the strong and weak exchange directions are interchanged between the two sublattices, a common directional change of the exchange couplings increases one radius and decreases the other. Unlike the magnetic coupling, this mechanism vanishes when the two sublattice exchange tensors become identical. The radius difference also supports an antisymmetric breathing mode. After a short field pulse, it oscillates in quadrature with the uniform helicity, the common rotation of the wall magnetization within the film plane, at \(49.5\,\mathrm{GHz}\) for the reference parameters.

Multidimensional dynamical centrality from Green functions in complex networks

Conventional centrality measures provide compact descriptions of node importance, but they emphasize specific structural relations and do not directly resolve the temporal and spectral organization of dynamical perturbation responses. Building on the Green function of a linearized networked system, we develop a multidimensional framework for dynamical node characterization. From the same response function, we extract three complementary indicators---Influence, Efficiency, and Distortion---that quantify cumulative response strength, temporal rate of response, and spectral concentration, respectively, together with a contribution matrix that resolves these quantities into source--target pathways. As a numerical demonstration, we apply the framework to weighted Kuramoto--Sakaguchi dynamics on heterogeneous Barabási--Albert networks. The three indicators distinguish implanted dynamical node classes through complementary dimensions of the perturbation response, while remaining strongly coupled to conventional topological centralities. These results demonstrate how a common dynamical response can be decomposed into distinct, physically interpretable characteristics rather than represented by a single aggregate descriptor. We finally discuss the scope and limitations of the linear-response assumption and extensions to time-dependent and nonlinear regimes.

Prime-valent Symmetric Cayley Graphs of Characteristically Simple Groups

Let $\Ga$ be a connected prime-valent $X$-arc-transitive Cayley graph of a finite characteristically simple group $G\cong T^k$, where $k\geqslant2$. We obtain a precise structural characterization of such graphs and their arc-transitive automorphism groups. In the cubic case, every connected symmetric Cayley graph of $T^k$, where $T$ is a finite nonabelian simple group, is normal.

On Arc-Transitive Regular Covers of Cubic Edge-Primitive Graphs

We determine, up to isomorphism of the covering graphs, the connected arc-transitive regular covers of cubic edge-primitive graphs whose covering transformation group is cyclic or elementary abelian of order $p^2$, where $p$ is a prime. Combining the known classifications for the base graphs ${\rm K_{3,3}}$ and ${\rm DC_{14}}$ with new arguments for ${\rm F30A}$ and ${\rm F102A}$ gives the full list in these two classes of covering groups. In the cyclic case, the covers of ${\rm F30A}$ and ${\rm F102A}$ are ${\rm F90A}$ and ${\rm F204A}$, respectively. In the elementary abelian case, neither ${\rm F30A}$ nor ${\rm F102A}$ admits an arc-transitive regular $\mathbb{Z}_p^2$-cover, so the base graph is ${\rm K_{3,3}}$ or ${\rm DC_{14}}$.

WeVisDoc: From Coverage to Capability for Robust End-to-End Document Parsing

Document parsing converts document images into structured content and requires reliable performance across diverse layouts and acquisition conditions. Yet training corpora are biased toward common document types and clean digital pages, while expanding coverage alone does not specify how to address a parser's remaining weaknesses. We present WeVisDoc, a two-stage data-centric framework for robust end-to-end document parsing. Stage I broadens semantic, structural, and appearance coverage through heterogeneous data and structure-preserving degradation synthesis. Stage II uses a held-out probe to measure the Stage I parser's residual errors within fixed visual-structural clusters. These diagnostics guide targeted data construction and reallocation of the target-token budget. WeVisDoc-4B achieves an Overall score of 95.38 on OmniDocBench v1.6 and a mean Overall score of 75.54 across the three PureDocBench tracks, ranking first among the compared end-to-end parsers in all four settings. Compared with Stage I, Stage II improves Overall scores for the 2B and 4B models on both benchmarks, with larger gains on the degraded PureDocBench tracks, including a 4.03-point gain for the 4B model on the Real Degraded track.

ScaleLUT: A Fully-Parallel Configurable LUT-Based Accelerator for Real-Time Multi-Scale Super-Resolution

Real-time super-resolution (SR) remains challenging for edge devices because deep-learning-based methods require substantial multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations, resources, and power. Lookup-table (LUT)-based SR reduces computation by replacing convolutional inference with table queries, but existing methods still suffer from limited speed, large storage overhead, and poor scalability across upsampling factors. We present ScaleLUT, a hardware-oriented LUT design framework and fully parallel reconfigurable accelerator for real-time multi-scale SR. ScaleLUT combines a hardware-friendly YUV-domain strategy with power-of-two kernels and rotation ensemble to improve receptive-field coverage while reducing LUT dimensionality; division operations are replaced by shifts. These designs reduce memory by 18.4% over state-of-the-art LUT-based SR methods. ScaleLUT supports arbitrary input resolutions and configurable x2^n upsampling factors using a deeply pipelined, massively parallel architecture. Implemented on a Xilinx ZCU102 FPGA, it achieves real-time 4K SR at 95.3 FPS for x2 upscaling at 300 MHz. Compared with existing SR accelerators, ScaleLUT uses at least 58.6% fewer LUTs, 41.1% fewer flip-flops, zero DSPs, and 42.0% lower power, while delivering 10x and 1.2x speedups over the best CPU-based SR implementation and prior FPGA-based SR accelerators, respectively. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of joint LUT algorithm-hardware co-design for practical and energy-efficient edge SR deployment.

A Short Combinatorial Proof of the Pons-Batle Identity for Counting Tree-Child Networks

Tree-child networks are a useful class of binary phylogenetic networks. The Pons--Batle identity (Pons and Batle, \textit{Scientific Reports}, 2021) states that the number $a_{n,k}$ of tree-child networks with $k$ reticulations on $n$ taxa satisfies \[ a_{n,k}=(n-k+1)a_{n,k-1} +\frac{n(2n+k-3)}{n-k}a_{n-1,k}. \] In this paper, we present a short combinatorial proof of this identity.

Cosmological Evolution of the Randall-Sundrum II Model with Running Vacuum: A Special Class of Solutions

In this work, we construct a novel cosmological framework by integrating the running vacuum model into the Randall-Sundrum II braneworld scenario. We derive a special class of analytical solutions in the model. Our investigation focuses on the complete evolutionary trajectory of the universe, with particular emphasis on the realization of primordial inflation and the evolution of cosmic entropy. We evaluate the model's viability across three scenarios: dust-dominated, radiation-dominated, and general perfect fluid-dominated universes. Our findings show that while the hybrid model is in principle capable of supporting inflation, producing enough e-fold number demands either severe fine-tuning of the parameter or unreasonably large (and thus physically unnatural) value of the parameter.

Spectral Convergence of Random Feature Method in Multiple Dimensions

We first prove spectral convergence of the random feature method (RFM) for multidimensional targets in Sobolev, Gevrey, ultra-analytic, and bandlimited classes. The analysis establishes general high-probability approximation estimates in the interpolation scale generated by a kernel integral operator. On a single event determined only by the sampled features, one random space approximates every target in a prescribed source ball; moreover, for each target, a single coefficient vector defines an approximant that attains spectral accuracy simultaneously in all admissible error norms. For both regularity-adapted frequency distributions and uniform distributions on growing frequency windows, the resulting rates range from super-exponential to algebraic, depending on the regularity of the target. Second, we establish abstract error estimates for strong- and weak-form RFM discretizations, thereby converting the preceding approximation bounds into convergence estimates for multidimensional second-order elliptic boundary value and eigenvalue problems. Finally, for random feature matrices (RFMtxs), we prove super-exponential singular-value decay with Fourier features and exponential decay with $\tanh$ features, together with corresponding condition-number lower bounds. The analysis identifies a common mechanism: the same spectral approximation that yields high accuracy also drives severe ill-conditioning.

OCR-EDR: Rendering-Aware Diagnosis and Repair for Closed-Loop OCR Improvement

Although document OCR systems perform increasingly well on routine documents, complex formulas, structured text, and long-tail formats remain error-prone. OCR predictions may omit fine-grained content or hallucinate unsupported outputs, while equivalent encodings of the same visible content must be accommodated. Existing OCR evaluation methods mostly report aggregate metrics, offering limited support for analyzing case-level errors and improving OCR performance. We propose OCR-EDR (OCR Error Diagnosis and Repair), a rendering-aware framework that advances from fine-grained diagnosis to iterative repair. Given a source image, an editable OCR prediction, and its rendered image, OCR-EDR first jointly assesses whether the prediction and its rendering are consistent with the source, preserving valid predictions, including rendering-equivalent ones, while diagnosing and localizing genuine errors. It then applies executable edits and may request an updated rendering for iterative reassessment. We construct OCRErrBench from diverse real OCR predictions, covering text and formulas, exact and rendering-equivalent positives, and genuine errors, and develop the DocEDR model to execute the diagnosis--repair loop. On OCRErrBench, DocEDR achieves 94.78% diagnostic accuracy. It repairs 86.23% of erroneous inputs to visual consistency, raises formula Case-F1 by 30.99 percentage points over DOCR-Inspector-7B on DOCRcaseBench, and improves formula CDM by up to 4.62 percentage points on the identified Bad subsets of four OCR systems on UniMER-Test. These results show that OCR-EDR turns fine-grained OCR analysis into verified corrections and performance gains.

Sharp Mixed Spectral Barron Regularity of Coulombic Many-Electron Wave Functions

We establish sharp mixed spectral Barron regularity for eigenfunctions of molecular Coulomb Hamiltonians. The mixed norm is a Fourier $L^1$ norm with one isotropic weight and coordinate-product weights, and therefore detects regularity invisible to the isotropic Barron scale. For a nonempty set $I$ of electron indices on which the wave function is antisymmetric, we derive an explicit admissible region for the isotropic order $s$ and the coordinate orders $α,β$. This region is optimal as a uniform statement over the class of clamped-nuclei Coulomb Hamiltonians. For fixed-spin components with two occupied spin blocks, it reduces to $s+α+β<1$; in the fully spin-polarized class it reduces to $s+α<1$. In particular, if $\mathcal I_σ$ denotes the family of occupied same-spin blocks determined by $σ$, then every fixed-spin spatial component $ψ_σ$ satisfies, for every $0\leqα<1$, \[ \left(\sum_{I\in\mathcal I_σ}\prod_{i\in I}\langleξ_i\rangle^α\right)\widehat{ψ_σ}\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^{3N}). \] For a fully spin-polarized state, $\mathcal I_σ=\{\{1,\ldots,N\}\}$.

Spectral convergence of random feature method in one dimension

We first prove the spectral convergence of the random feature method (RFM) when used to solve second-order elliptic equations and eigenvalue problems in one dimension, provided that the solutions belong to Gevrey classes or Sobolev spaces. Second, we derive the convergence rate of RFM when integrated with the Partition of Unity Method (PUM) in terms of the patch size. Finally, we show that the singular values of the resulting random feature matrix decay exponentially, leading to exponential growth of the condition number. We also prove that PUM can mitigate this excessive singular-value decay.

H-Scale: Hessian-Guided Scale Refinement for NVFP4 Sub-Byte LLM Inference

The NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, with native support for the ultra-fine-grained NVFP4 format, opens new opportunities for accelerating large language model (LLM) inference. NVFP4's micro-block design, such as a group size of 16, offers strong representational flexibility for capturing local weight distributions and isolating outliers, but it also introduces a large and highly sensitive space of per-group scaling factors. Existing post-training quantization (PTQ) methods primarily focus on refining quantized weight values, leaving this scale-selection step underexplored. To address this gap, we propose \textbf{H-Scale}, a lightweight post-processing method for NVFP4 per-group scale refinement. Instead of minimizing plain weight reconstruction error, H-Scale selects hardware-valid group scales using a diagonal second-order proxy derived from calibration activations, thereby targeting layer output perturbation more directly. It is designed as a drop-in replacement for RTN-style scale selection in diverse NVFP4 pipelines, requires only modest offline calibration, and introduces strictly zero overhead at inference time. Under a fixed evaluation protocol, experiments on mainstream LLMs show that H-Scale generally improves a broad range of NVFP4 baselines and brings several variants closer to the BF16 reference.

A Capability Broker for Workflow-Network QoS Coordination in B5G/6G Industrial Services

Industrial services in beyond-fifth-generation (B5G) and sixth-generation (6G) networks are increasingly executed as multi-phase workflows whose quality-of-service (QoS) demands change across ordered phases. Existing exposure, analytics, and policy-control functions can provide capability information and enforce QoS treatment, but they do not track the admitted QoS agreement between a workflow and the network. This paper studies this missing coordination function in the software control plane. We propose a Capability Broker that represents each admitted trajectory as a lifecycle-managed QoS commitment, including the workflow demand, network capability, validity time, and enforcement state. The Broker operates above existing exposure and policy-control interfaces and enforces capability freshness, duplicate-safe admission, legal state transitions, per-commitment event ordering, recovery routing, and Broker--network state consistency. Prototype results with microbenchmarks, fault injection, ablation, and controlled message loss show that the full Broker preserves commitment consistency with microsecond-level local processing overhead, while removing individual Broker functions exposes duplicate commitments, stale admissions, illegal transitions, lost-update divergences, or Broker-network inconsistency.

Sharp Barron Regularity Results for Coulombic Many-Electron Wave Functions

We establish sharp Barron regularity for Coulombic many-electron wave functions after extraction of the universal cut-off Jastrow factors. Following the factorization of Fournais et al.~\cite[Definition~1.4]{FournaisEtAl2005}, for a Coulombic eigenfunction $ψ$ we define the successive quotients by \[ ϕ=e^{-F_{2,\mathrm{cut}}}ψ\quad\text{and}\quad ϕ_3=e^{-F_{3,\mathrm{cut}}}ϕ=e^{-(F_{2,\mathrm{cut}}+F_{3,\mathrm{cut}})}ψ. \] Then \[ ϕ,ϕ_3\in\mathcal{B}^s(\mathbb{R}^{3N}) \qquad\text{for every }s<2. \] This range is optimal among universal factorizations. No factor depending only on the particle number and the nuclear data, but not on the eigenfunction or its eigenvalue, can make every corresponding quotient belong to $\mathcal{B}^2$. We also determine the exact endpoint growth. Writing $\varepsilon=2-s$, we prove that, for either $u=ϕ$ or $u=ϕ_3$, there is a computable constant $M$ independent of $\varepsilon$ such that \[ \left\|u\right\|_{\mathcal{B}^{2-\varepsilon}}\leq\frac{M}{\varepsilon^2}\left\|u\right\|_{\mathcal{B}^1}. \] For the unperturbed two-electron atom we prove, with a constant independent of $\varepsilon$, \[ \left|\left\|ϕ_3\right\|_{\mathcal{B}^{2-\varepsilon}}-\frac{32πZ\lvertϕ_3(0,0)\rvert}{\varepsilon^2}\right|\leq\frac{C}{\varepsilon}. \] Hence the quadratic rate in the upper bound is sharp whenever $\lvertϕ_3(0,0)\rvert\neq0$, as is the case for the ground state.

A cube-root phase transition in tree-child networks and the enumeration threshold for galled networks

We prove two surprising results about phylogenetic networks. First, we show that the structure of tree-child networks with $n$ leaves and $k$ reticulation nodes undergoes a sharp phase transition at $n^{1/3}$: if $k=o(n^{1/3})$, then a random tree-child network is almost surely a semi-simplex tree-child network, whereas if $k/n^{1/3}\rightarrow\infty$ and $k=o(n^{1/2})$, it is almost surely not. Second, we show that this result implies that the asymptotic counting formula for galled networks with $n$ leaves and a fixed number $k$ of reticulation nodes remains valid in the range $k=o(n^{1/3})$, but not beyond. This is in strong contrast to recently established results for the asymptotic counting formulas for tree-child and normal networks with $n$ leaves and $k$ reticulation nodes, which are valid in the (optimal) range $k=o(n^{1/2})$.
