ReSI-Math: Exploring Recoverable Capability Frontiers for Efficient Reasoning Improvement

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become an effective approach for improving mathematical reasoning in large language models. However, a fundamental question remains: when a model fails to solve a problem, does it truly lack the underlying capability? In this work, we reveal that direct failure does not necessarily imply inability. Some reasoning failures can be recovered by exploring the model's own trajectories, exposing a recoverable capability frontier: a policy-dependent region where solutions are not reliably generated through direct decoding but can be elicited through trajectory-level search. Based on this observation, we introduce ReSI-Math, a framework that explores recoverable capability frontiers and converts recovered capabilities into data-efficient RLVR supervision. ReSI-Math uses Self-Judge-guided evolutionary search to identify recoverable failures under a fixed policy and adaptively selects frontier problems for sequential RLVR as the policy evolves. On Qwen3-VL-8B, correct-incorrect trajectory crossover produces 272 verifier-confirmed correct offspring from 621 attempts (43.8%). After three sequential one-shot RLVR stages, the MATH500 and WE-MATH average improves from 78.71 to 80.16. Under matched single-problem RLVR, random selection reaches only 53.31 versus 54.16 for frontier-guided Q1.

Grounding with Confidence: Controllable Generative Video Temporal Grounding

Video temporal grounding supports applications such as video search, content review, and automated editing by localizing events described in natural language. Yet existing generative models typically output timestamps without explicit interval-level confidence scores to guide candidate selection. We separate candidate generation from acceptance by scoring individual intervals within the original decoding pass. A lightweight confidence head reads pooled decoder states, providing an explicit score trained for interval selection. Offline verifier scores supervise the head on fixed candidate sequences, and temporal-overlap labels adapt it to current rollouts during reinforcement learning. GT-anchored candidate-pool supervision and set-level optimization train the generator. The resulting scores support ranking, threshold-based selection, and rejection without invoking an external verifier at inference. On a fixed OMTG-Bench candidate pool, confidence raises query-macro Recall@0.5 from 9.95% to 14.42% over generation order at a 10% global return budget, and from 26.48% to 31.12% at a 25% budget. The continuous scores let downstream applications adjust return budgets or acceptance thresholds to match their precision-recall preferences, without regenerating candidate intervals.

MORA: Modeling Observed Changes for Drift-Robust Time-Series Anomaly Detection

Time-series anomaly detection (TSAD) identifies deviations from patterns learned from historical data. In non-stationary settings, distribution drift and true anomalies can cause similar local changes, making it difficult to tell whether a deviation reflects abnormality or evolving context. Existing methods typically adapt to detected shifts or learn drift-insensitive representations, but do not resolve this ambiguity. We define this problem as \emph{temporal change disambiguation}: determining whether a local deviation is explained by broader temporal evolution. We introduce MORA, a drift-robust TSAD framework that reconstructs the same local target from paired short- and long-term views. The reconstruction gap measures contextual support for a local deviation, and a data-dependent correction mechanism conservatively adjusts the primary local anomaly score. Context can only reduce the score when it improves reconstruction of the same target. MORA needs neither drift annotations nor online adaptation. Experiments on four TSAD benchmarks show strong robustness to non-stationarity while preserving sensitivity to genuine anomalies.

Know the Shape, Find the Fault: Topology-Conditioned Diagnosis of Multi-Agent LLM Failures

Multi-agent LLM systems coordinate task execution through exchanges of information among agents. When coordination breaks down, similar symptoms in execution traces can reflect different problems in how information is passed, used, or verified. Communication topology captures how agents exchange information and provides structural cues for distinguishing coordination failure modes. Using these cues for diagnosis requires establishing how topology relates to failure patterns and recovering the relevant structure from execution traces that lack explicit topology labels. We analyze the relationship between communication topology and failure patterns and introduce MAScope, a two-stage framework for topology-conditioned diagnosis. Its Trace Structural Extractor TSE recovers communication topology from heterogeneous execution traces by grounding an interaction graph in message evidence. The Topology-Conditioned Judge TC-Judge then classifies failures using the trace, predicted topology, an empirical failure prior estimated from separate labeled traces, and a short description of topology-specific failure patterns. Under a fixed orchestration structure, the recovered topology can be reused across executions. Experimental results show a statistically significant association between communication topology and failure type, with $χ^2 = 409.9$ and $p = 1.2 \times 10^{-70}$. On the \num{851} MAST-clean traces, ground-truth topology context raises gpt-mini's Macro-F1 from $0.173$ to $0.350$. With predicted topology, the pipeline achieves $0.346$, approaching the trace-only gpt-5.4 baseline of $0.372$. For \num{1000} traces under a fixed orchestration structure, the projected pipeline cost, including one topology extraction, is approximately $6\%$ of repeated gpt-5.4 diagnosis cost. These results show that topology-conditioned context improves failure diagnosis and supports lower-cost deployment.

DeepShare: Assurance-Driven Deep Learning Job Scheduling for Multi-Tenant Clusters

Multi-tenant GPU clusters frequently remain underutilized even when tenants experience long queueing delays, because quota control, queue ordering, preemption, and GPU sharing are driven by different local signals. We present DeepShare, a scheduler that uses a continuous tenant-assurance signal to coordinate these decisions at runtime. DeepShare combines elastic quota borrowing, tenant-specific runtime prediction, cost-aware best-effort preemption, and interference-aware MPS colocation, while using the same assurance signal to decide when borrowed capacity should be reclaimed and when sharing should become more conservative. In trace-driven experiments on 23,859 Venus jobs and 3,200 internal jobs, DeepShare achieves an average GPU utilization of 70.58%, a 29.5% improvement over the strongest non-intrusive sharing baseline, while reducing average queueing delay by 46%. On a 16-GPU Kubernetes testbed, it reduces the average job completion time by 34% and maintains 93% QoS compliance for guaranteed tenants. These results show that treating tenant assurance as a runtime control loop achieves a more advantageous utilization-QoS trade-off than optimizing quotas, scheduling, and resource sharing independently.

Latency-Aware Orchestration for Multi-Agent LLM Workflows on Heterogeneous GPUs

Concurrent multi-agent workflows expose future dependencies and serving-state requirements while running on heterogeneous GPU pools with time-varying load, model residency, and resource availability. The logical workflow defines the required computation, whereas its physical scheduling units, model-lifecycle actions, resource ordering, and placement must be selected according to the observed pool state. We present a prediction-guided runtime that uses workflow forecasts to construct and optimize a physical execution graph. Predictor estimates device-specific activation latency, peak memory, and model-loading cost, then propagates these predictions through workflow dependencies to forecast activation readiness and future model demand. Constructor builds semantics-preserving fusion and model-lifecycle alternatives, while Scheduler jointly optimizes their selection, placement, and execution order based on the live pool state. Across a workload spanning three workflow scenarios on a heterogeneous GPU pool, our system reduces end-to-end makespan and overall p95 completion latency under burst arrivals by up to 36.8% and 25.9%, respectively, over state-of-the-art workflow schedulers. It also saves up to 24.63 GPU-s per completed session.

ElastiCo: Elastic Configuration and Interference-Aware Orchestration for GPU Clusters

Modern GPU clusters must simultaneously serve deep learning training and offline large language model inference workloads, yet existing schedulers treat these as isolated resource consumers with rigid, static allocations. This leaves substantial GPU capacity underutilized: training jobs reserve entire devices despite periodic idle phases, while offline inference tasks over-provision GPUs despite bursty demand patterns. We present ElastiCo, an elastic co-location framework that enables training and inference workloads to safely share GPUs through three integrated mechanisms. First, Resource Shape Transformation exposes each job as a family of feasible resource-performance configurations. Second, Elastic Shadow Pricing decomposes the resulting multi-resource allocation problem into per-job configuration selection subproblems via dynamic per-resource shadow prices. Third, Interference-Aware Co-location uses a predictor trained on hardware-counter and task-level features to estimate pairwise performance degradation under GPU sharing. Implemented as native Kubernetes middleware requiring no user-code modifications, ElastiCo is evaluated on a 64-GPU testbed and through large-scale trace-driven simulations (up to 512 GPUs), reducing the average JCT by up to 2.94x, increasing the cluster throughput by 2.02x, and increasing the GPU utilization from approximately 25% to 46%.

SpecBox: Speculative Sandbox Scheduling for Efficient LLM Agent Serving

As LLM agents increasingly rely on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to invoke isolated external sandboxes, disaggregated sandbox deployment introduces a fundamental tension between resource utilization and interactive tail latency. Persistent long-lived sandbox reservations incur excessive memory overhead at scale, while lazy on-demand instantiation generates severe cold-start penalties that degrade response performance under multi-tenant, multi-turn agent workloads. To resolve this dilemma, we present SpecBox, a runtime built around speculative sandbox preallocation tailored for dynamic LLM agent execution pipelines. At its core, SpecBox implements keyword matching and streaming semantic embedding to enable intent-driven sandbox prewarming, which identifies pending tool execution demands mid-LLM token generation and fully overlaps sandbox bootstrapping with model inference. To extend prewarming windows across sequential agent steps, the framework leverages context-aware stochastic prefetching atop a sandbox dependency graph to probabilistically forecast future sandbox switches ahead of execution. We complement these speculative mechanisms with two orthogonal optimizations: a semantic result cache that prunes redundant repeated sandbox invocations, and a dedicated out-of-band shared-memory transport plane that bypasses conventional network serialization to deliver zero-copy artifact transfers. Evaluated on high-concurrency multi-turn agent traces, our prototype demonstrates that SpecBox cuts P99 end-to-end latency by up to $2.9\times$ relative to the on-demand sandbox baseline, while slashing peak memory consumption by $45.9\%$ compared to permanently reserved sandbox deployments.

CAPMix: Robust KPI Anomaly Detection for AIOps in Noisy and Dynamic Environments

Time-series anomaly detection is crucial in AIOps for maintaining large-scale service reliability. In production, streams of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are high-dimensional, non-stationary, and affected by noise, deployment changes, and latent anomalies, making real failures hard to distinguish from benign variation. Most existing methods assume either normality (learning from "normal" history) or rely on injected anomalies for training. Yet injected patterns often misalign with real failure modes, skewing decision boundaries -- aka. Anomaly Shift. We propose CAPMix, a controllable anomaly augmentation framework with prior-guided injection for realistic temporal behaviors. CAPMix combines label revision and dual-space mixup to enhance robustness under contaminated and mixed data. CAPMix consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods on public AIOps and time-series benchmarks. It has been deployed in Kuaishou's large-scale production system, reducing false alarms and improving monitoring reliability. A real-world dataset is also released to enrich the research on robust KPI anomaly detection.

CrossPool: Efficient Multi-LLM Serving for Cold MoE Models through KV-Cache and Weight Disaggregation

Emerging LLM services increasingly host many sparse MoE models, yet most models receive sparse requests and remain cold. This creates a GPU memory problem: model weights are stable and model-determined, while KV-cache is transient and demand-determined. Because cold models rarely reach peak KV-cache demand at the same time, reserving worst-case KV capacity per model wastes memory; a shared KV-cache pool can instead provision aggregate active demand. However, KV-cache sharing is not sufficient when weights and KV-cache remain in a monolithic GPU memory pool. Static weights compete with dynamic KV-cache, and KV-head-limited attention under cold, low-concurrency traffic exposes only a fraction of replicated KV capacity, leading to low GPU memory utilization and weak long-context support. We present CrossPool, a serving engine for cold MoE models that separates FFN weights and KV-cache into two GPU memory pools: a weights pool that consolidates FFN weights across cold models, and a KV-cache pool that dynamically serves active requests while keeping attention local to KV-cache. CrossPool combines a KV-cache planner and virtualizer, a layer-wise pipeline scheduler that hides hidden-state transfers, and persistent kernels with control lowering to reduce CPU-GPU control overhead. With efficient GPU memory pooling, CrossPool underpins bursty long-context requests and outperforms the state-of-the-art kvcached-based multi-LLM serving system, reducing P99 TBT by up to 10.4x.

Maestro: Workload-Aware Cross-Cluster Scheduling for LLM-Based Multi-Agent Systems

Large Language Model based Multi-Agent Systems (LLM-MAS) have emerged as a powerful paradigm for tackling complex tasks by breaking them into collaborative workflows of specialized LLM-powered agents. However, deploying such multi-agent workloads at scale poses significant system challenges. Each user query spawns an iterative pipeline of LLM calls, greatly amplifying resource consumption compared to single-turn queries. In resource-constrained cloud settings, these workflows face non-deterministic and input-dependent costs at decode stage, heavy-tailed multi-model requirements with memory fragmentation and over-provisioning, and cross-cluster scheduling trade-offs. We present Maestro, a workload-aware scheduling system designed for LLM-MAS serving under strict GPU budgets. Maestro explicitly leverages agent semantics and roles: it predicts the output length and memory usage of each stage and uses this prediction to drive a hierarchical scheduler. At the node level, Maestro enables dynamic multi-model co-location via hierarchical weight caching and elastic memory provisioning. At the cluster level, it performs latency-aware routing to avoid cold-start delays and memory overloads. At the global level, it enforces workflow-aware prioritization to minimize head-of-line blocking for interactive tasks. Across prototype experiments and trace-driven simulations, Maestro reduces KV-reservation HBM by 67.2% and improves high-contention SLO attainment over EDF by 23.6 percentage points.

RobotDiffuse: Diffusion-Based Motion Planning for Redundant Manipulators with the ROP Obstacle Avoidance Dataset

Redundant manipulators, with their higher Degrees of Freedom (DoFs), offer enhanced kinematic performance and versatility, making them suitable for applications like manufacturing, surgical robotics, and human-robot collaboration. However, motion planning for these manipulators is challenging due to increased DoFs and complex, dynamic environments. While traditional motion planning algorithms struggle with high-dimensional spaces, deep learning-based methods often face instability and inefficiency in complex tasks. This paper introduces RobotDiffuse, a diffusion model-based approach for motion planning in redundant manipulators. By integrating physical constraints with a point cloud encoder and replacing the U-Net structure with an encoder-only transformer, RobotDiffuse improves the model's ability to capture temporal dependencies and generate smoother, more coherent motion plans. We validate the approach using a complex simulator and release a new dataset, Robot-obtalcles-panda (ROP), with 35M robot poses and 0.14M obstacle avoidance scenarios. The highest overall score obtained in the experiment demonstrates the effectiveness of RobotDiffuse and the promise of diffusion models for motion planning tasks. The dataset can be accessed at https://github.com/ACRoboT-buaa/RobotDiffuse.

Eq.Bot: Enhance Robotic Manipulation Learning via Group Equivariant Canonicalization

Robotic manipulation systems are increasingly deployed across diverse domains. Yet existing multi-modal learning frameworks lack inherent guarantees of geometric consistency, struggling to handle spatial transformations such as rotations and translations. While recent works attempt to introduce equivariance through bespoke architectural modifications, these methods suffer from high implementation complexity, computational cost, and poor portability. Inspired by human cognitive processes in spatial reasoning, we propose Eq.Bot, a universal canonicalization framework grounded in SE(2) group equivariant theory for robotic manipulation learning. Our framework transforms observations into a canonical space, applies an existing policy, and maps the resulting actions back to the original space. As a model-agnostic solution, Eq.Bot aims to endow models with spatial equivariance without requiring architectural modifications. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of Eq.Bot under both CNN-based (e.g., CLIPort) and Transformer-based (e.g., OpenVLA-OFT) architectures over existing methods on various robotic manipulation tasks, where the most significant improvement can reach 50.0%.

MathSE: Improving Multimodal Mathematical Reasoning via Self-Evolving Iterative Reflection and Reward-Guided Fine-Tuning

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in vision-language answering tasks. Despite their strengths, these models often encounter challenges in achieving complex reasoning tasks such as mathematical problem-solving. Previous works have focused on fine-tuning on specialized mathematical datasets. However, these datasets are typically distilled directly from teacher models, which capture only static reasoning patterns and leaving substantial gaps compared to student models. This reliance on fixed teacher-derived datasets not only restricts the model's ability to adapt to novel or more intricate questions that extend beyond the confines of the training data, but also lacks the iterative depth needed for robust generalization. To overcome these limitations, we propose \textbf{\method}, a \textbf{Math}ematical \textbf{S}elf-\textbf{E}volving framework for MLLMs. In contrast to traditional one-shot fine-tuning paradigms, \method iteratively refines the model through cycles of inference, reflection, and reward-based feedback. Specifically, we leverage iterative fine-tuning by incorporating correct reasoning paths derived from previous-stage inference and integrating reflections from a specialized Outcome Reward Model (ORM). To verify the effectiveness of \method, we evaluate it on a suite of challenging benchmarks, demonstrating significant performance gains over backbone models. Notably, our experimental results on MathVL-test surpass the leading open-source multimodal mathematical reasoning model QVQ. Our code and models are available at \texttt{https://zheny2751\allowbreak-dotcom.github.io/\allowbreak MathSE.github.io/}.

An Improved Time Series Anomaly Detection by Applying Structural Similarity

Effective anomaly detection in time series is pivotal for modern industrial applications and financial systems. Due to the scarcity of anomaly labels and the high cost of manual labeling, reconstruction-based unsupervised approaches have garnered considerable attention. However, accurate anomaly detection remains an unsettled challenge, since the optimization objectives of reconstruction-based methods merely rely on point-by-point distance measures, ignoring the potential structural characteristics of time series and thus failing to tackle complex pattern-wise anomalies. In this paper, we propose StrAD, a novel structure-enhanced anomaly detection approach to enrich the optimization objective by incorporating structural information hidden in the time series and steering the data reconstruction procedure to better capture such structural features. StrAD accommodates the trend, seasonality, and shape in the optimization objective of the reconstruction model to learn latent structural characteristics and capture the intrinsic pattern variation of time series. The proposed structure-aware optimization objective mechanism can assure the alignment between the original data and the reconstructed data in terms of structural features, thereby keeping consistency in global fluctuation and local characteristics. The mechanism is pluggable and applicable to any reconstruction-based methods, enhancing the model sensitivity to both point-wise anomalies and pattern-wise anomalies. Experimental results show that StrAD improves the performance of state-of-the-art reconstruction-based models across five real-world anomaly detection datasets.

DECAMP: Towards Scene-Consistent Multi-Agent Motion Prediction with Disentangled Context-Aware Pre-Training

Trajectory prediction is a critical component of autonomous driving, essential for ensuring both safety and efficiency on the road. However, traditional approaches often struggle with the scarcity of labeled data and exhibit suboptimal performance in multi-agent prediction scenarios. To address these challenges, we introduce a disentangled context-aware pre-training framework for multi-agent motion prediction, named DECAMP. Unlike existing methods that entangle representation learning with pretext tasks, our framework decouples behavior pattern learning from latent feature reconstruction, prioritizing interpretable dynamics and thereby enhancing scene representation for downstream prediction. Additionally, our framework incorporates context-aware representation learning alongside collaborative spatial-motion pretext tasks, which enables joint optimization of structural and intentional reasoning while capturing the underlying dynamic intentions. Our experiments on the Argoverse 2 benchmark showcase the superior performance of our method, and the results attained underscore its effectiveness in multi-agent motion forecasting. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first context autoencoder framework for multi-agent motion forecasting in autonomous driving. The code and models will be made publicly available.

RoCA: Robust Contrastive One-class Time Series Anomaly Detection with Contaminated Data

The accumulation of time-series signals and the absence of labels make time-series Anomaly Detection (AD) a self-supervised task of deep learning. Methods based on normality assumptions face the following three limitations: (1) A single assumption could hardly characterize the whole normality or lead to some deviation. (2) Some assumptions may go against the principle of AD. (3) Their basic assumption is that the training data is uncontaminated (free of anomalies), which is unrealistic in practice, leading to a decline in robustness. This paper proposes a novel robust approach, RoCA, which is the first to address all of the above three challenges, as far as we are aware. It fuses the separated assumptions of one-class classification and contrastive learning in a single training process to characterize a more complete so-called normality. Additionally, it monitors the training data and computes a carefully designed anomaly score throughout the training process. This score helps identify latent anomalies, which are then used to define the classification boundary, inspired by the concept of outlier exposure. The performance on AIOps datasets improved by 6% compared to when contamination was not considered (COCA). On two large and high-dimensional multivariate datasets, the performance increased by 5% to 10%. RoCA achieves the highest average performance on both univariate and multivariate datasets. The source code is available at https://github.com/ruiking04/RoCA.

Motion Forecasting for Autonomous Vehicles: A Survey

In recent years, the field of autonomous driving has attracted increasingly significant public interest. Accurately forecasting the future behavior of various traffic participants is essential for the decision-making of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs). In this paper, we focus on both scenario-based and perception-based motion forecasting for AVs. We propose a formal problem formulation for motion forecasting and summarize the main challenges confronting this area of research. We also detail representative datasets and evaluation metrics pertinent to this field. Furthermore, this study classifies recent research into two main categories: supervised learning and self-supervised learning, reflecting the evolving paradigms in both scenario-based and perception-based motion forecasting. In the context of supervised learning, we thoroughly examine and analyze each key element of the methodology. For self-supervised learning, we summarize commonly adopted techniques. The paper concludes and discusses potential research directions, aiming to propel progress in this vital area of AV technology.
