Feed-Forward Multi-view Multi-person Reconstruction with Contrastive Human-Aware 3D Representation

Multi-view human reconstruction has been extensively studied under simplified settings, yet robust and efficient multi-person reconstruction in unconstrained environments remains challenging. Existing bottom-up methods often rely on accurate camera calibration and explicit cross-view matching, and therefore struggle with severe occlusions and ambiguities. We propose a new top-down paradigm that maintains a unified, instance-centric human-aware 3D space, enabling simultaneous camera calibration, cross-view association, and human reconstruction via cross-modal contrastive learning. Observations from multiple views are lifted and fused into this shared 3D space, where geometric structure, visual appearance, and human-centric semantic cues are jointly encoded at the instance level. We further introduce a spatial contrastive learning strategy that aligns 3D features corresponding to the same human instance across different views and modalities while separating different instances. This enables correspondence reasoning, semantic aggregation, and instance discrimination to be performed natively in 3D, improving cross-view consistency and robustness under severe occlusions. Finally, structured human body models are recovered in a feed-forward manner by regressing SMPL parameters from instance-level 3D human tokens. Extensive experiments demonstrate robust, accurate, and efficient multi-view human reconstruction in challenging real-world scenarios.

Zeva: In-Context Causal Learning for Generalizable Embodied Manipulation

Generalizable embodied manipulation remains difficult to achieve through pretraining alone, due to unseen physical conditions in the real world. We argue that robots need to learn from their own physical interactions on the fly during real-world deployment and use this knowledge to inform subsequent actions. We present Zeva, the first framework that enables in-context learning from a robot's own physical interaction experience while keeping the policy model frozen. Zeva employs a Causal Interaction Extractor to encode an executed action and its induced state change into a causal interaction signal, which is stored in a dual-timescale causal memory. For subsequent actions, relevant causal interaction signals are retrieved from memory and injected into the frozen policy model as context. Experiments in simulation and real-world manipulation demonstrate that Zeva achieves the best performance among the compared frontier VLAs and WAMs and, more importantly, enables self-evolution during deployment without gradient updates. Its success rate continues to improve as the robot accumulates interaction experience. Furthermore, the acquired interaction experience can generalize across tasks.

Spatial-Temporal Decoupled Adapter for Micro-gesture Online Recognition

Micro-gesture online recognition aims to temporally localize and classify subtle gestures in untrimmed videos. Owing to their extremely short duration, low motion amplitude, and ambiguous visual cues, capturing discriminative spatiotemporal representations remains highly challenging. Existing parameter-efficient adapters typically employ a single branch to model spatial and temporal cues jointly, which may fail to capture the fine-grained patterns of micro-gestures. To address this limitation, we propose a Spatial-Temporal Decoupled Adapter that decomposes video adaptation into independent temporal and spatial branches via lightweight depthwise convolutions. In addition, to alleviate the long-tailed class distribution inherent in the benchmark dataset, we introduce an Adaptive Soft Balanced Augmentation method, which dynamically allocates augmentation intensity based on class rarity and learning difficulty, without manual thresholds. Our method achieves an F1 score of 0.43808, ranking 1st in Track 2 of the 4th EI-MiGA-IJCAI Challenge.

Evidence-Based Intelligent Diagnostic and Therapeutic Visualization System with Large Language Models: Multi-Turn Interaction and Multimodal Treatment Plan Generation

Aim: Existing AI-assisted traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic tools suffer from opaque reasoning processes, passive interaction, and limited treatment plan presentation. This study proposes a knowledge-enhanced visual diagnostic system to improve the transparency and interpretability of syndrome differentiation and treatment. Methods: The system is built upon a Neo4j knowledge graph comprising 241 syndromes, 1,263 symptoms, and 2,485 relations. It incorporates a four-stage symptom matching pipeline (exact, semantic, fuzzy, and large language model verification), an information gain-driven proactive questioning strategy optimized with genetic algorithms, and a multimodal treatment presentation integrating artificial intelligence-generated illustrations, three-dimensional meridian-acupoint models, and evidence-based literature. Results: Knowledge graph constraints reduced non-standard outputs by 32%. Case studies validated the effectiveness of the interactive workflow across patient self-assessment, clinician-assisted diagnosis, and traditional Chinese medicine education. Automated paired-comparison evaluation across 30 cases further demonstrated significant improvements in diagnostic trust (Cohen's d = 1.82, p < 0.001), reduced cognitive load (improvements in four of five dimensions), and higher credibility of evidence-based references (4.21 vs. 2.95). Conclusions: The proposed system enhances the transparency of traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic reasoning and the interpretability of treatment plans through knowledge graph-driven visualization and multimodal interaction, offering a practical solution for trustworthy artificial intelligence-assisted traditional Chinese medicine applications.

An algebraic proof of Colombo's difference-power determinant conjecture

Let $n\ge2$ be even, let $λ=(λ_1,\ldots,λ_n)\in\mathbb{R}^n$ have pairwise distinct coordinates, and define the difference-power matrix \[ A_d(λ) := \bigl[(λ_r-λ_s)^d\bigr]_{r,s=1}^n, \qquad d\in\mathbb{N}. \] In 1928, Colombo proved that $\det A_{n-1}(λ)\ne0$---and hence $\det A_{n-1}(λ)>0$---and that $\operatorname{rank} A_d(λ)=d+1$ for $0\le d<n-1$. He conjectured that \[ \det A_d(λ)\ne0 \qquad\text{for every } d\ge n-1. \] For even $d$, the conjectured nonsingularity follows from previously published results on distance-power matrices. The remaining open cases were therefore the supercritical odd exponents $d\ge n+1$. We prove nonsingularity for all these odd exponents, thereby completing Colombo's conjecture. Consequently, \[ \operatorname{rank} A_d(λ)=\min\{n,d+1\} \qquad(d\in\mathbb{N}). \] Our proof converts a hypothetical kernel vector into a real binary form having more projective real linear factors, counted with multiplicity, than its real Waring length permits.
