Behavioral Affinity Transduction for Zero-Shot Vision-Language Classification

An image that is hard to classify on its own may have a helpful neighbor in the same unlabeled batch. Zero-shot vision-language models (VLMs) score images independently and leave this evidence unused. We study small unlabeled query batches with no labeled examples. Visual similarity can reflect pose or background, so it may connect images from different classes. Each image's scores over the class vocabulary offer another way to choose neighbors. We introduce Behavioral Affinity Transduction (BAT), which builds a sparse graph from these class-response profiles. The graph supplies neighbor evidence during prediction. For EM-Dirichlet, it also screens candidate classes and initializes assignments. BAT plugs into direct and iterative readouts of a frozen VLM. Across diverse datasets, BAT improves the mean accuracy of every tested readout. In the main RN50 comparison, soft and hard EM-Dirichlet gain $4.22$ and $2.72$ percentage points.

RadioTraj3D: Height-Aware Adaptive Sampling for 3D Radio-Map Reconstruction from Ultra-Sparse Trajectories

Aerial networks require radio propagation information at unvisited positions and heights to plan routes, select links, and allocate wireless resources. A three-dimensional radio map (3D RM) represents propagation conditions over the service area, enabling these decisions before flight. However, constructing such a map from autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) measurements is challenging, since radio measurements are available only along the trajectory, whereas the target covers the 3D service volume. Existing methods use fixed AAV trajectories that ignore how building distributions and heights affect electromagnetic propagation, missing the heights most informative for RM reconstruction. To address these issues, we propose RadioTraj3D, which uses building-height information to coordinate measurement selection and layer-wise reconstruction. Building-height variations reveal propagation-sensitive layers that guide height-adaptive sampling. We therefore propose G-METS to select geometry-sensitive heights and allocate an exact budget across edge, corridor, and open regions before channel acquisition. A dual-view reconstructor then integrates local three-dimensional boundaries with full-height context through one bounded coefficient per layer. Simulated outdoor and indoor maps demonstrate state-of-the-art reconstruction across environments and vertical grids. On real-world AAV measurements from the LACN dataset, RadioTraj3D improves peak signal-to-noise ratio by 0.84 dB and reduces normalized mean squared error by 17.5% over Completion AE.

TurboEvolve: Towards Fast and Robust LLM-Driven Program Evolution

LLM-driven program evolution can discover high-quality programs, but high API cost and run-to-run variance hinder reliable progress. We propose TurboEvolve, a multi-island evolutionary framework that improves sample efficiency and stability under matched API-cost budgets. Inspired by multiple-offspring strategies in evolutionary algorithms, TurboEvolve introduces Verbalized Sampling, which elicits K diverse candidates in one LLM call while using self-assigned probabilities only as generation signals, together with an online scheduler that adapts K to expand exploration under stagnation and reduce redundant generation during steady progress. To exploit existing solution pools, TurboEvolve further introduces island-aware initialization, which clusters seed programs into mode-specific subpopulations and applies controlled cross-cluster mixing with elitist preservation to balance diversity, sharing, and refinement. We also curate a reusable cross-task solution-pool dataset to support warm-start initialization studies and matched-resource comparisons. Across mathematical discovery and GPU-kernel optimization tasks, TurboEvolve achieves stronger cost-quality trade-offs and more stable performance than controlled baselines, while reaching competitive reported scores.

RelLedger: Relational Information Governance for LLM Agent Organizations

In LLM agent organizations, shared records determine which facts are available for later decisions. A sender consults interaction histories before deciding whether to report an event. A delivery gap across histories does not show whose relationship drove the choice or whether the resulting record matters downstream. We introduce RelLedger to audit these links. It holds the event, evidence, risk, and message fixed while crossing the sender's histories with the event target and an unrelated actor. Role reassignment and history rewrites locate the controlling cue. Message and cost interventions show when the effect appears. An attribution ledger maps each claim to its required response cells and separates missing interventions from sampling uncertainty. Recipient replay follows delivered information into downstream decisions. Executable workflows for a simulated one-person company extend the audit to retrieved histories, tool calls, and shared ledger updates. Across GPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, and Qwen, the audit reveals model-specific control paths and smaller relation gaps under explicit loss rules. Claude sends the same factual notice 62.22 percentage points more often with conflict histories than with friendly histories. In executable workflows, strained histories reduce recipient review rates by 45.83 points relative to warm histories for Claude.

DRMOT: A Dataset and Framework for RGBD Referring Multi-Object Tracking

Referring Multi-Object Tracking (RMOT) aims to track specific targets based on language descriptions, playing a vital role in interactive AI systems such as robotics and autonomous driving. However, existing RMOT methods rely exclusively on 2D RGB observations. Since similar 2D projections can correspond to different 3D configurations, the available observations may not uniquely determine the referred targets. This creates a fundamental mismatch between the task requirements and the available input. To advance research on the DRMOT task, we construct DRSet, a dataset tailored for the DRMOT task. DRSet comprises 2,076 referring expressions over 186 RGB-D source sequences. It features synchronized RGB images and depth maps paired with language descriptions, including explicit depth-dependent descriptions, to systematically evaluate spatial-semantic detection and tracking capabilities. Furthermore, we propose DRTrack, an MLLM-guided depth-referring tracking framework. DRTrack leverages a Geometric-Aware GRPO fine-tuned Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) to achieve precise spatial-semantic detection from joint L+RGB+D inputs, while incorporating explicit depth cues to enforce robust trajectory association. Extensive experiments on the DRSet dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework. Our dataset and code will be available at https://github.com/chen-si-jia/DRMOT.

GeoShrink: Accelerating Diffusion Transformers with Two Lines of Code

Diffusion transformers incur substantial inference cost through repeated model evaluations along a sampling trajectory. We introduce GeoShrink, a training-free acceleration method that retains the original solver grid while evaluating the model only at a prescribed set of anchors. At skipped stages, GeoShrink predicts the solver-facing output by adding a geometrically retained fraction of the latest observed innovation to the most recent exact output. We derive this rule from chordal tangent transport and round-trip line projection, and establish a geometric anchor-spacing principle that minimizes the largest adjacent gap expansion under fixed coverage and first span. The analysis characterizes the geometric closure and propagation of prediction errors without assuming access to future model outputs. Experiments cover image, video, motion, and audio generation, together with adapted 3D backends. At approximately $5\times$ acceleration, GeoShrink improves FLUX PSNR by 3.10 dB over the strongest listed baseline. On HunyuanVideo, it achieves a reported $4.99\times$ speedup and improves ChronoMagic-Bench-150 PSNR by 5.44 dB over the strongest listed fidelity baseline. Comparisons at fixed evaluation budgets further show substantial gains on motion, audio, music, and 3D generation.

BeamRMX: Radiation-Pattern-Driven Learning for Generalizable Beam Radio Map Prediction and Beam Management

The evolution toward sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks is driving larger antenna arrays and highly directional multi-beam transmission, making accurate knowledge of beam-dependent spatial coverage important for beam management and environment-aware network operation. Radio maps (RMs) provide such a representation, yet conventional RM prediction assumes omnidirectional or transmitter-level radiation. In beamformed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, one propagation scene instead gives rise to many configuration-dependent beam radio maps (BeamRMs), creating challenges in beam representation and generalization. Existing methods either condition prediction on beam descriptors or use beam maps as auxiliary inputs to generic architectures. We propose BeamRMX, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first dedicated framework to treat the spatial radiation pattern as the primary BeamRM query and learn how scene geometry transforms it into the received power field. XBase learns multiscale interactions between the radiation query and scene geometry, while an optional Evidence Adapter uses a few cross-configuration BeamRMs from the same scene. Matched-domain and zero-shot experiments show consistent gains over deterministic and diffusion baselines, including mean absolute error reductions of 26.1\% on unseen scenes and 47.8\% on an unseen configuration. Cross-configuration evidence further improves reconstruction and intra-sector beam refinement.

ABLE: Representing and Mapping LLMs via Attribution-Based Large-model Embedding

The explosive growth of large language models (LLMs) has created a heterogeneous and poorly documented ecosystem, making systematic model comparison increasingly important for provenance auditing, security analysis, and model selection. Existing representation methods struggle to address this setting efficiently. Approaches analyzing internal parameters are powerful when architectures are compatible, but face scalability barriers under structural heterogeneity, while methods relying on external outputs may conflate models with similar behaviors and are difficult to align in richer output spaces across different tokenizers. To bridge this gap, we propose ABLE (Attribution-Based Large-model Embedding), a framework that leverages the interpretability space to construct model representations. By aggregating gradient-based feature attributions via a tokenizer-agnostic word-level alignment, ABLE captures model-specific input-sensitivity patterns rather than only surface-level outputs. Beyond empirical utility, we provide a stability analysis showing that, under standard regularity assumptions for differentiable Transformer-style models, ABLE induces a Lipschitz-continuous parameter-to-embedding map with finite-sample convergence guarantees. Extensive experiments on 239 open-source LLMs demonstrate that our training-free approach achieves competitive or superior performance in relation prediction, model routing, and benchmark score prediction.

When Efficiency Becomes Fragility: Exploiting Dynamic Routing Vulnerabilities in Adaptive UAV Tracking

Resource constraints on UAV platforms have driven a paradigm shift in aerial tracking, from pursuing performance toward balancing accuracy with efficiency. Adaptive Transformer Trackers, which leverage an input-dependent dynamic routing architecture, have emerged as a representative solution to this challenge. However, we reveal that behind this computation-on-demand flexibility hides a critical structural flaw: the Lipschitz singularity of computational path decisions, which has an unbounded local Lipschitz constant at discrete layer-skipping decision boundaries. This mathematical discontinuity renders adaptive tracking networks inherently unstable: tiny input perturbations can be amplified at the gating modules, causing dramatic changes in the inference topology. We formally characterize this singularity in the context of adaptive tracking architectures and, for the first time, identify it as a directly exploitable new attack surface. This insight reveals a previously overlooked and highly vulnerable topological path space attack surface. Based on this, we propose the Adversarial Path-Inversion (API) framework. API generates imperceptible perturbations to precisely manipulate the gating decisions, forcing the inference onto altered computational paths. The severe inconsistency between the original and the inverted paths dismantles the representation capability of the model. Extensive experiments on state-of-the-art adaptive trackers demonstrate that API achieves superior perturbation stealthiness, more effective attack, and faster inference speeds. This work opens a new dimension for the security analysis of dynamic tracking networks and provides a theoretical warning for constructing robust adaptive tracking architectures in the future.

Traffic-CBM: A Structurally Interpretable Multimodal Framework for Encrypted Traffic Classification

Encrypted traffic classification has achieved strong performance, but its decision process remains difficult to interpret. Existing methods usually combine flow statistics, packet sequences, and byte-level representations into opaque latent features, making it unclear which type of evidence actually drives the prediction. In this paper, we propose Traffic-CBM, a structurally interpretable multimodal framework for encrypted traffic classification. Instead of directly fusing heterogeneous traffic signals into a black-box representation, Traffic-CBM organizes them into a unified hierarchical concept space. These concepts are not manually annotated semantic attributes; rather, they are scalar evidence summaries constrained by predefined traffic evidence groups. More specifically, grouped flow statistics are mapped to statistical concepts, dedicated temporal encoders learn temporal concepts from disjoint feature subspaces, and byte-level evidence is further organized into packet-level and cross-packet concepts. This design turns heterogeneous traffic evidence into an explicit concept representation and makes different levels of traffic evidence easier to analyze. We evaluate Traffic-CBM on multiple encrypted traffic benchmarks. Results show that it achieves competitive and balanced classification performance while providing a clearer structural interpretation interface than conventional end-to-end fusion models. Further analyses suggest that the learned concept space is actively used in the prediction process and provides a clearer structural explanation of multimodal traffic evidence.

MemoGen: Can Past Experience Improve Future Text-to-Image Generation?

Modern text-to-image models have achieved strong visual synthesis, yet remain unreliable when prompts require implicit visual constraints, relational reasoning, or external knowledge. Existing retrieval-augmented and agentic generation methods mitigate this issue by acquiring external knowledge, references, or refined prompts for the current request, yet they typically treat each generation as an isolated episode and do not systematically preserve past successes or failures for future use. In this work, we ask whether a text-to-image system can continually improve from its own generation experience without updating the underlying generator. We propose MemoGen, a training-free framework that augments existing image generators with an agentic evolution layer. For each task, MemoGen explicitly infers visual requirements, retrieves external evidence and references when necessary, translates them into executable generation constraints, evaluates the generated result, and stores task understanding, reference choices, visual feedback, successful strategies, and failure lessons as reusable experience memory. Across evolution rounds, the agent retrieves relevant experience to improve similar future generations, selectively repairing previously failed cases while preserving successful ones, thereby enabling test-time self-evolution without parameter updates. Extensive experiments on knowledge-intensive and reasoning-oriented benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of this paradigm: after only two evolution rounds, MemoGen built upon the open-source Qwen-Image backbone surpasses strong proprietary systems such as Nano Banana Pro and GPT-Image-1 on WISE and Mind-Bench, showing that explicit experience memory can serve as a powerful continual learning signal for reliable text-to-image generation.

AnyEdit++: Adaptive Long-Form Knowledge Editing via Bayesian Surprise

Editing complex, long-form knowledge in Large Language Models remains a significant challenge due to the difficulty of maintaining generation coherence. Existing autoregressive methods like AnyEdit alleviate length constraints but rely on Fixed-window Chunking, which disregards logical structure and compromises consistency. To address this, we present AnyEdit++, a structure-aware framework incorporating Bayes-Chunk, an adaptive segmentation mechanism that dynamically identifies semantic boundaries based on Bayesian Surprise. We underpin this approach with a theoretical framework establishing two key principles: (1) Structural Independence: we prove that cross-segment interference is minimized when anchor keys are geometrically orthogonal (a condition naturally satisfied by our surprisal-based boundaries but violated by fixed windows), and (2) Causal Locality: we demonstrate that updates injected at these semantic peaks yield strictly superior control compared to arbitrary split points. Extensive experiments across mathematical reasoning, code generation, and narrative tasks demonstrate that AnyEdit++ achieves superior performance and robustness compared to state-of-the-art baselines, validating that structural awareness is critical for effective long-form knowledge editing.

Before the Body Moves: Learning Anticipatory Joint Intent for Language-Conditioned Humanoid Control

Natural language is an intuitive interface for humanoid robots, yet streaming whole-body control requires control representations that are executable now and anticipatory of future physical transitions. Existing language-conditioned humanoid systems typically generate kinematic references that a low-level tracker must repair reactively, or use latent/action policies whose outputs do not explicitly encode upcoming contact changes, support transfers, and balance preparation. We propose \textbf{DAJI} (\emph{Dynamics-Aligned Joint Intent}), a hierarchical framework that learns an anticipatory joint-intent interface between language generation and closed-loop control. DAJI-Act distills a future-aware teacher into a deployable diffusion action policy through student-driven rollouts, while DAJI-Flow autoregressively generates future intent chunks from language and intent history. Experiments show that DAJI achieves strong results in anticipatory latent learning, single-instruction generation, and streaming instruction following, reaching 94.42\% rollout success on HumanML3D-style generation and 0.152 subsequence FID on BABEL.

Learning to Think in Physics: Breaking Shortcut Learning in Scientific Diffusion via Representation Alignment

Physics-informed diffusion models typically enforce PDE constraints only on final outputs, leaving intermediate representations unconstrained and prone to shortcut learning under shifted boundary conditions. We introduce **REPA-P**, a teacher-free, architecture-agnostic framework that aligns intermediate features with physical states using first-principles residuals. REPA-P attaches lightweight $1{\times}1$ projection heads to selected layers, decodes hidden activations into physical quantities, and applies PDE residual losses during training. These heads are discarded at inference, introducing **zero overhead**. Across four PDE tasks, including Darcy flow, topology optimization, electrostatic potential, and turbulent channel flow, REPA-P accelerates convergence by up to $2{\times}$, reduces physics residuals by up to $66.4\%$, and improves out-of-distribution robustness by up to $49.3\%$, with consistent gains on both U-Net and Diffusion Transformer backbones. Ablations show that supervising a small set of intermediate layers captures most benefits and complements output-level physics losses. Code is available at [https://github.com/Hxxxz0/REPA-P](https://github.com/Hxxxz0/REPA-P).

Delta Score Matters! Spatial Adaptive Multi Guidance in Diffusion Models

Diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in synthesizing complex static and temporal visuals, a breakthrough largely driven by Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG). However, despite its pivotal role in aligning generated content with textual prompts, standard CFG relies on a globally uniform scalar. This homogeneous amplification traps models in a well-documented "detail-artifact dilemma": low guidance scales fail to inject intricate semantics, while high scales inevitably cause structural degradation, color over-saturation, and temporal inconsistencies in videos. In this paper, we expose the physical root of this flaw through the lens of differential geometry. By analyzing Tweedie's Formula, we reveal that CFG intrinsically performs a tangential linear extrapolation. Because the natural data manifold is highly curved, this uniform linear step introduces a severe orthogonal deviation. To keep the generation trajectory safely bounded, we formulate a theoretical upper bound for spatial and adaptive guidance. Based on these geometric insights, we propose Spatial Adaptive Multi Guidance (SAMG), a training-free and virtually zero-cost sampling algorithm. SAMG dynamically computes point-wise conditional guidance energy, applying a conservative minimum scale to high-energy boundary regions to preserve delicate micro-textures, while deploying an aggressive maximum scale in low-energy regions to maximize semantic injection. Extensive experiments across diverse image (SD 1.5, SDXL, SD3.5 Medium) and video (CogVideoX, ModelScope) architectures demonstrate that SAMG effectively resolves the detail-artifact dilemma, achieving superior semantic alignment, structural integrity, and temporal smoothness without any computational overhead.

$Z^2$-Sampling: Zero-Cost Zigzag Trajectories for Semantic Alignment in Diffusion Models

Diffusion models have achieved unprecedented success in text-aligned generation, largely driven by Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG). However, standard CFG operates strictly on instantaneous gradients, omitting the intrinsic curvature of the data manifold. Recent methods like Zigzag-sampling (Z-Sampling) explicitly traverse multi-step forward-backward trajectories to probe this curvature, significantly improving semantic alignment. Yet, these explicit traversals triple the Neural Function Evaluation (NFE) cost and introduce unconstrained truncation errors from off-manifold evaluations, causing cumulative drift from the true marginal distribution. In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate that the explicit zigzag sequence is topologically reducible. We propose Implicit Z-Sampling, rigorously proving that intermediate states can be algebraically annihilated via operator dualities, physically eliminating off-manifold approximation errors. To push sampling efficiency to its theoretical lower bound, we introduce $Z^2$-Sampling (Zero-cost Zigzag Sampling). Exploiting the Probability Flow ODE's temporal coherence, $Z^2$-Sampling couples implicit algebraic collapse with a dynamically cached Temporal Semantic Surrogate. This restores the standard 2-NFE baseline without sacrificing semantic exploration. We formally prove via Backward Error Analysis that this discrete collapse inherently synthesizes a directional derivative curvature penalty. Finally, extensive evaluations demonstrate that $Z^2$-Sampling structurally shatters the performance-efficiency Pareto frontier. We validate its universal applicability across diverse architectures (U-Nets, DiTs) and modalities (image/video), establishing seamless orthogonality with advanced alignment frameworks (AYS, Diffusion-DPO).

Oracle Noise: Faster Semantic Spherical Alignment for Interpretable Latent Optimization

Text-to-image diffusion models have achieved remarkable generative capabilities, yet accurately aligning complex textual prompts with synthesized layouts remains an ongoing challenge. In these models, the initial Gaussian noise acts as a critical structural seed dictating the macroscopic layout. Recent online optimization and search methods attempt to refine this noise to enhance text-image alignment. However, relying on unconstrained Euclidean gradient ascent mathematically inflates the latent norm and destroys the standard Gaussian prior, causing severe visual artifacts like color over-saturation. Furthermore, these methods suffer from inefficient semantic routing and easily fall into the ``reward hacking'' trap of external proxy models. To address these intertwined bottlenecks, we propose Oracle Noise, a zero-shot framework reframing noise initialization as semantic-driven optimization strictly confined to a Riemannian hypersphere. Instead of relying on complex external parsers, we directly identify the most impactful structural words in the prompt to efficiently route optimization energy. By updating the noise strictly along a spherical path, we mathematically preserve the original Gaussian distribution. This geometric constraint eliminates norm inflation and unlocks aggressive step sizes for rapid convergence. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Oracle Noise significantly accelerates semantic alignment and achieves superior aesthetics without black-box models. It completely mitigates Euclidean-induced degradation, establishing state-of-the-art performance across human preference metrics (e.g., HPSv2, ImageReward), semantic alignment (CLIP Score), and sample diversity, all within a strict 2-second optimization budget.

ECHO: Edge-Cloud Humanoid Orchestration for Language-to-Motion Control

We present ECHO, an edge--cloud framework for language-driven whole-body control of humanoid robots. A cloud-hosted diffusion-based text-to-motion generator synthesizes motion references from natural language instructions, while an edge-deployed reinforcement-learning tracker executes them in closed loop on the robot. The two modules are bridged by a compact, robot-native 38-dimensional motion representation that encodes joint angles, root planar velocity, root height, and a continuous 6D root orientation per frame, eliminating inference-time retargeting from human body models and remaining directly compatible with low-level PD control. The generator adopts a 1D convolutional UNet with cross-attention conditioned on CLIP-encoded text features; at inference, DDIM sampling with 10 denoising steps and classifier-free guidance produces motion sequences in approximately one second on a cloud GPU. The tracker follows a Teacher--Student paradigm: a privileged teacher policy is distilled into a lightweight student equipped with an evidential adaptation module for sim-to-real transfer, further strengthened by morphological symmetry constraints and domain randomization. An autonomous fall recovery mechanism detects falls via onboard IMU readings and retrieves recovery trajectories from a pre-built motion library. We evaluate ECHO on a retargeted HumanML3D benchmark, where it achieves strong generation quality (FID 0.029, R-Precision Top-1 0.686) under a unified robot-domain evaluator, while maintaining high motion safety and trajectory consistency. Real-world experiments on a Unitree G1 humanoid demonstrate stable execution of diverse text commands with zero hardware fine-tuning.
