Where to Look and What to Use: Retrieve-Localize-Generate for Long-Term Conversational Memory Question Answering

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enables large language models (LLMs) to answer questions by accessing external knowledge and has been widely adopted for long-term conversational memory question answering. However, existing methods suffer from two key challenges: (1) fragmented evidence scattered across temporally distant sessions, and (2) noisy content within retrieved sessions that triggers the lost-in-the-middle effect. To address these challenges, we propose MemLoc, a unified Retrieve-Localize-Generate framework for long-term conversational memory QA. For retrieval, MemLoc decomposes each session into multi-granularity memory units and performs query routing via an inner-memory graph with entropy-based granularity selection. It further models cross-session semantic and temporal dependencies through a cross-memory graph, enabling coarse-to-fine retrieval of top-K relevant memory candidates. For localization, we introduce a reasoning-based evidence locator trained with Self-reflective Hint Policy Optimization (SHPO), which performs progressive refinement by extracting query-relevant fragments within memory units to suppress noise and reranking across candidates to remove redundancy, producing a compact evidence set with lightweight location IDs. For generation, these IDs act as precise grounding signals that guide the LLM to the correct memory positions, mitigating the lost-in-the-middle effect while preserving original contextual integrity. Extensive experiments on four benchmarks demonstrate that MemLoc achieves state-of-the-art retrieval accuracy and response quality while maintaining efficiency.

DianShi-RxnDB: A Large-Scale, Fine-Grained Organic Reaction Data Platform Built via a Fully Automated Pipeline for Researchers and AI Agents

High-quality structured organic reaction data are essential for developing artificial intelligence for chemistry (AI4Chem), yet much of this knowledge remains dispersed across patent text, images, and reaction schemes. We present DianShi-RxnDB, a large-scale, fine-grained organic reaction data platform built via a fully automated extraction and normalization pipeline integrating patent text, images, and reaction schemes. Its corpus covers organic synthesis patents from the USPTO and EPO published between 1976 and 2025, yielding approximately 24 million reaction instances, of which approximately 14.8 million (61.7%) pass automated qualification checks. Each instance represents a specific single-step experiment recording participants, roles, quantities, temperatures, reaction times, yields, experimental procedures, and provenance links to source patents. In a manual evaluation of 1,300 sampled qualified instances, the micro-averaged field-level accuracy was 92.95%. A matched comparison with Pistachio further indicated advantages in deduplicated record counts, representation granularity, and field-level exact agreement. The platform provides a Web research workbench for searching, filtering, comparing, and source-verifying records, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) service offering AI agents composable structured retrieval tools.

UserToolBench: A User-Profile-Hidden Benchmark for Personalized Decision Making in Tool-Use LLMs

Tool-use LLMs are increasingly asked to act on users' behalf, but existing benchmarks usually focus on profile recall, style imitation, generic tool use, or response-level personalization. We introduce UserToolBench , a benchmark for personalized decision making in tool-use LLMs. UserToolBench tests whether a model can infer latent user preferences from interaction history, recognize when clarification is needed, and produce user-aligned tool-call trajectories under incomplete information. The benchmark is built from privacy-sanitized real interaction traces and combines structured persona profiles, public API-style tool ecosystems, and long-horizon multi-turn trajectories. It includes 10 user profiles, 36 tool sets, 1,065 turns, 170 unique tools, and evaluation-focused task types covering lack-of-information, single-tool, and multi-tool settings. Experiments with strong tool-use LLMs show that current models still have difficulty with personalized delegation. Multi-tool coordination, missing-constraint inference, and long-horizon behavioral consistency remain major bottlenecks. These results suggest that personalization evaluation should move beyond asking whether outputs sound user-specific and instead ask whether LLMs make correct decisions for the users they represent.

MinerU.Chem: A High-Precision System for Optical Chemical Structure and Reaction Recognition

In organic chemistry papers and patents, molecular structures, reaction schemes, and experimental conditions are often presented as molecular structure depictions, reaction diagrams, and complex tables or figures. Such information is difficult for general-purpose document parsing systems to directly convert into machine-readable data. This limits data production for organic chemistry knowledge base construction and for AI for Chemistry tasks such as reaction prediction, retrosynthesis, condition recommendation, molecular property prediction, and drug molecule design. This report introduces MinerU-Chem, a document parsing system for organic chemistry literature integrated into the MinerU online platform. Built on top of MinerU's general document parsing pipeline, MinerU-Chem adds five chemistry-specific modules: chemistry relevance filtering, molecular structure detection, molecule identifier extraction, molecular structure recognition, and reaction scheme parsing. Together, these modules convert organic-chemistry-related image regions in documents into a Molecule Summary List and a Reaction Summary List. For molecular structure recognition, MinerU-Chem uses CARBON (Complex Atomic Representation and Bonding Object Notation) as its core representation. CARBON enables recognition results to preserve both the visual layout of the original image and complex chemical semantics, while supporting the export of standard downstream formats such as MolFile and SMILES. On the SMILES-evaluable subset of MolRecBench-Wild (N=2,392), MinerU-Chem's molecular structure recognition module achieves a SMILES exact-match accuracy of 93.02%, outperforming the best evaluated comparison system, GPT-5.6-Sol (74.87%), by 18.15 percentage points. The system has been integrated into the MinerU online platform and is available at https://mineru.net/OpenSourceTools/Extractor .

Sparse Evidence Can Suffice: Agentic Evidence Seeking for Multimodal Video Misinformation Detection

Multimodal video misinformation detection is commonly formulated as a holistic video-understanding task, where the entire video and its associated content are processed and judged in a single pass. However, real-world misinformation often exhibits a sparse and compositional evidence structure: a reliable decision may depend on only a few coupled clues, while most video content contributes limited additional information. Exhaustive multimodal reasoning may therefore introduce substantial redundancy and obscure decisive evidence. This motivates decoupling evidence acquisition from verification: first identifying sparse, decision-relevant clues and then judging veracity based on the acquired evidence. Accordingly, we propose SIEVE, a framework for Sparse Interactive Evidence Verification via Extraction in multimodal video misinformation detection. An evidence-seeking agent actively explores the available multimodal evidence and constructs a compact evidence package, which is then used by a verifier to determine veracity. The agent is trained with supervised evidence-seeking trajectories and an evidence-aware reinforcement learning objective that promotes informative evidence acquisition while discouraging unnecessary or invalid interactions. Experiments on multiple video misinformation benchmarks show that SIEVE consistently outperforms the evaluated baselines and supports reliable verification using compact evidence packages. Moreover, the resulting acquisition process provides an explicit and inspectable evidence trail, improving the transparency and groundedness of multimodal misinformation detection.

Quantum enhancement and Doppler suppression of Kasevich-Chu atom interferometer with motional squeezing states

Hybridization of internal and external atomic degrees of freedom in a Kasevich-Chu interferometer enables the possibility to enhance the sensitivity significantly even under quantum-standard limit. By introducing motional squeezing state as an input, we systematically derive the computational framework of quantum and classical Fisher information of two measurement protocols for arbitrary strength of Doppler effects. Through maximizing the corresponding classical Fisher information, we obtain the optimal control parameters and the corresponding quantum Fisher information. For population measurement, the largest sensitivity can be as large as four times than the semi-classical limit through enlarging the atom coherence length. For joint measurement of population and position, the competition between quantum enhancement and Doppler suppression induces two three behaviors, in one regime, the quantum enhancement dominates even in presence of strong Doppler broadening effects where the sensitivity is significantly enhanced; while in another regime, an optimal squeezing parameter is observed where the classical Fisher information reaches the maximum. Our results clearly demonstrate the robustness of external quantum enhancement against Doppler suppression. Our proposal can be readily applied to gravimeter of mobile platform where decoherence from noise will damage the many-body entanglement of internal spin squeezing.

AlloSpatial: Agentic Harness Framework for Spatial Reasoning in Foundation Models

Multimodal Foundation Models (MFMs) have made substantial progress, yet remain fragile in spatial reasoning over the physical world. A key bottleneck lies in their inability to transform local egocentric observations into a global allocentric spatial representation. To address this, we propose AlloSpatial, an agentic framework for allocentric spatial cognition in foundation models. AlloSpatial introduces World2Mind, a plug-and-play cognitive mapping sandbox that converts egocentric observations into structured allocentric priors, including Allocentric-Spatial Trees and route maps that support querying object topology, geometric relations, passability, and trajectories. To utilize these priors reliably under noisy reconstruction and ambiguous visual evidence, AlloSpatial introduces a Spatial Reasoning Harness for tool-use judgment, modality-decoupled cue collection, and geometry-semantic arbitration. We further internalize this process in Qwen3-VL through cold-start reinforcement learning with a harness-gated trajectory-level reward. Experiments on VSI-Bench and MindCube show that AlloSpatial improves proprietary models by 5%-18% in a training-free setting, while ASTs alone support strong spatial reasoning even when visual inputs are removed. The trained AlloSpatial agents further outperform larger general-purpose models and competitive spatial baselines, suggesting that structured allocentric representations, active tool use, and verifiable reasoning offer a promising route toward spatially capable foundation models.

WebRISE: Requirement-Induced State Evaluation for MLLM-Generated Web Artifacts

Existing benchmarks for MLLM-generated web artifacts assess interaction through local evidence and miss the requirement-induced states and transitions that determine whether a page works. We introduce WebRISE, which compiles task requirements into Interaction Contract Graphs (ICGs) of observable states, user-intent transitions, and DOM/visual assertions for implementation-agnostic browser execution. WebRISE spans 442 tasks across five input modalities (Text, Markdown, Sketch, Image, Video), with 5,495 transitions and 5,271 requirement checks that separate user-stated functions from implicit product-level constraints. Across 14 MLLMs, even the strongest model reaches only 65.6% transition validity and 66.3% requirement coverage, and visual quality is no proxy for behavior (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on Markdown: V=80.8 yet T=15.5). Video gives the strongest interaction signal (+10.6 pp implicit coverage over Text), while implicit constraints persist; defect injection shows ICG-based scoring detects state errors at 2-16x the rate of checkpoint-style evaluation.

WorldCoder-Bench: Benchmarking Physically Grounded 3D World Synthesis

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly asked not only to write static interfaces, but to construct executable interactive worlds from natural language. Browser-native 3D, commonly built with Three.js, is a natural next frontier: generated programs must integrate assets, obey spatial and physical constraints, and keep user-facing controls synchronized with hidden runtime state. Existing web-generation benchmarks and evaluators, however, largely observe only pixels or DOM nodes, while the mechanics of a Three.js world unfold inside an opaque . We introduce WorldCoder-Bench, a benchmark for autonomous, physically grounded 3D world synthesis. WorldCoder-Bench contains 2,026 expert-curated tasks across Simulation, Rendering, and Application scenarios, with optional .glb assets and hidden behavioral contracts. We further propose StateProbe, an execution-based protocol that probes generated programs in a sandboxed browser and verifies hidden, mutation-hardened contracts over runtime states and transitions. Beyond verification coverage, we report Return on Automation and Time Efficiency Multiplier to measure correctness-adjusted cost and time savings. Across nine frontier models, the best system reaches only 27.8% verification coverage on WorldCoder-Core and 19.9% on WorldCoder-Robust, with failures dominated by state-schema drift and broken interaction chains rather than missing scene elements. Utility metrics further show that cheap or fast models can still provide substantial value on easier domains. WorldCoder-Bench is available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/WorldCoder-Bench/.

High-energy electronic excitations in La3Ni2O7 by time-resolved optical spectroscopy

Recently, high-temperature superconductivity has been established in bilayer La3Ni2O7, which exhibits a density-wave (DW) transition at ~ 150 K under ambient pressure. The DW order is believed to be linked to superconductivity, as it is suppressed upon the emergence of superconductivity at high pressures. Here, we explore the ultrafast dynamics of high-energy electronic excitations from 10 K to room temperature under ambient pressure using time-resolved optical spectroscopy. Two high-energy electronic excitations at ~1.8 and ~ 2.4 eV, arising from distinct interband transitions, are identified. They exhibit different DW gaps of approximately 54 and 67 meV, respectively, along with relaxation dynamics that can be well described by the Rothwarf-Taylor model. In addition, we observe four coherent Raman-active phonon modes that exhibit distinct coupling with different electronic excitations. The phonon softening with increasing temperature can be well described between ~100 K and room temperature by a semi-quantitative model, which includes thermal expansion and anharmonic phonon-phonon coupling. At cryogenic temperatures, deviations from the measured temperature-dependent phonon frequencies and the model fits suggest an additional contribution from electron-phonon coupling. Our study provides direct evidence of the complex gap structure and phonon dynamics in this material, offering critical insights into the DW mechanism and many-body effects.

Does Unification Come at a Cost? Uni-SafeBench: A Safety Benchmark for Unified Multimodal Large Models

Unified Multimodal Large Models (UMLMs) integrate understanding and generation capabilities within a single architecture. While unified architectures expand multimodal capabilities, their safety implications remain important yet underexplored. Existing safety benchmarks predominantly focus on isolated understanding or generation tasks, failing to evaluate the holistic safety of UMLMs when handling diverse tasks under a unified framework. To address this, we introduce Uni-SafeBench, a comprehensive benchmark featuring a taxonomy of six major safety categories across seven task types. To ensure rigorous assessment, we develop Uni-Judger, a framework that effectively decouples contextual safety from intrinsic safety. Based on comprehensive evaluations across Uni-SafeBench, we find that the original safety alignment of the underlying LLM is not consistently preserved in current unified models. Moreover, open-source UMLMs exhibit much lower safety performance than multimodal large models specialized for either generation or understanding tasks, particularly on the generation side.

Molecular Identifier Visual Prompt and Verifiable Reinforcement Learning for Chemical Reaction Diagram Parsing

Reaction diagram parsing (RxnDP) is critical for extracting chemical synthesis information from literature. Although recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm to automate this complex visual reasoning task, their application is fundamentally bottlenecked by the inability to align visual chemical entities with pre-trained knowledge, alongside the inherent discrepancy between token-level training and reaction-level evaluation. To address these dual challenges, this work enhances VLM-based RxnDP from two complementary perspectives: prompting representation and learning paradigms. First, we propose Identifier as Visual Prompting (IdtVP), which leverages naturally occurring molecule identifiers (e.g., bold numerals like 1a) to activate the chemical knowledge acquired during VLM pre-training. IdtVP enables powerful zero-shot and out-of-distribution capabilities, outperforming existing prompting strategies. Second, to further optimize performance within fine-tuning paradigms, we introduce Re3-DAPO, a reinforcement learning algorithm that leverages verifiable rewards to directly optimize reaction-level metrics, thereby achieving consistent gains over standard supervised fine-tuning. Additionally, we release the ScannedRxn benchmark, comprising scanned historical reaction diagrams with real-world artifacts, to rigorously assess model robustness and out-of-distribution ability. Our contributions advance the accuracy and generalization of VLM-based reaction diagram parsing. We will release data, models, and code on GitHub.

World2Mind: Cognition Toolkit for Allocentric Spatial Reasoning in Foundation Models

Achieving robust spatial reasoning remains a fundamental challenge for current Multimodal Foundation Models (MFMs). Existing methods either overfit statistical shortcuts via 3D grounding data or remain confined to 2D visual perception, limiting both spatial reasoning accuracy and generalization in unseen scenarios. Inspired by the spatial cognitive mapping mechanisms of biological intelligence, we propose World2Mind, a training-free spatial intelligence toolkit. At its core, World2Mind leverages 3D reconstruction and instance segmentation models to construct structured spatial cognitive maps, empowering MFMs to proactively acquire targeted spatial knowledge regarding interested landmarks and routes of interest. To provide robust geometric-topological priors, World2Mind synthesizes an Allocentric-Spatial Tree (AST) that uses elliptical parameters to model the top-down layout of landmarks accurately. To mitigate the inherent inaccuracies of 3D reconstruction, we introduce a three-stage reasoning chain comprising tool invocation assessment, modality-decoupled cue collection, and geometry-semantics interwoven reasoning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that World2Mind boosts the performance of frontier models, such as GPT-5.2, by 5%~18%. Astonishingly, relying solely on the AST-structured text, purely text-only foundation models can perform complex 3D spatial reasoning, achieving performance approaching that of advanced multimodal models.

NMRTrans: Structure Elucidation from Experimental NMR Spectra via Set Transformers

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is fundamental for molecular structure elucidation, yet interpreting spectra at scale remains time-consuming and highly expertise-dependent. While recent spectrum-as-language modeling and retrieval-based methods have shown promise, they rely heavily on large corpora of computed spectra and exhibit notable performance drops when applied to experimental measurements. To address these issues, we build NMRSpec, a large-scale corpus of experimental $^1$H and $^{13}$C spectra mined from chemical literature, and propose NMRTrans, which models spectra as unordered peak sets and aligns the model's inductive bias with the physical nature of NMR. To our best knowledge, NMRTrans is the first NMR Transformer trained solely on large-scale experimental spectra and achieves state-of-the-art performance on experimental benchmarks, improving Top-10 Accuracy over the strongest baseline by +17.82 points (61.15% vs. 43.33%), and underscoring the importance of experimental data and structure-aware architectures for reliable NMR structure elucidation.

Electrically tunable dipolar polaritons with giant nonlinearity in a homobilayer microcavity

Active control over strong optical nonlinearity in solid-state systems is central to unlocking exotic many-body phenomena and scalable photonic devices. While exciton-polaritons in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offer a promising platform, their practical utility is often impeded by fixed interaction parameters and an intrinsic trade-off between nonlinearity and oscillator strength. Here, we report electrically tunable dipolar polaritons in a dual-gated bilayer MoS2 microcavity, demonstrating in situ reshaping of the dispersion and modulation of the light-matter coupling strength via the quantum-confined Stark effect. Crucially, this architecture enables a giant polariton-polariton interaction strength tunable by a factor of seven. This nonlinearity enhancement arises from a synergistic interplay, in which the electric field amplifies the microscopic dipolar repulsion while simultaneously optimizing the macroscopic excitonic Hopfield coefficient. Furthermore, electrostatic doping serves as an independent control knob to switch the system between strong and weak coupling regimes. Our findings bridge the gap between strong optical coupling and giant dipolar nonlinearities, establishing the TMD homobilayer as a versatile platform for engineering programmable correlated many-body states on a chip.

Enhancing the Medical Context-Awareness Ability of LLMs via Multifaceted Self-Refinement Learning

Large language models (LLMs) have shown great promise in the medical domain, achieving strong performance on several benchmarks. However, they continue to underperform in real-world medical scenarios, which often demand stronger context-awareness, i.e., the ability to recognize missing or critical details (e.g., user identity, medical history, risk factors) and provide safe, helpful, and contextually appropriate responses. To address this issue, we propose Multifaceted Self-Refinement (MuSeR), a data-driven approach that enhances LLMs' context-awareness along three key facets (decision-making, communication, and safety) through self-evaluation and refinement. Specifically, we first design a attribute-conditioned query generator that simulates diverse real-world user contexts by varying attributes such as role, geographic region, intent, and degree of information ambiguity. An LLM then responds to these queries, self-evaluates its answers along three key facets, and refines its responses to better align with the requirements of each facet. Finally, the queries and refined responses are used for supervised fine-tuning to reinforce the model's context-awareness ability. Evaluation results on the latest HealthBench dataset demonstrate that our method significantly improves LLM performance across multiple aspects, with particularly notable gains in the context-awareness axis. Furthermore, by incorporating knowledge distillation with the proposed method, the performance of a smaller backbone LLM (e.g., Qwen3-32B) surpasses its teacher model, achieving a new SOTA across all open-source LLMs on HealthBench (63.8%) and its hard subset (43.1%). Code and dataset will be released at https://muser-llm.github.io.

RxnCaption: Reformulating Reaction Diagram Parsing as Visual Prompt Guided Captioning

Large-scale chemical reaction datasets are crucial for AI research in chemistry. However, existing chemical reaction data often exist as images within papers, making them not machine-readable and unusable for training machine learning models. In response to this challenge, we propose the RxnCaption framework for the task of chemical Reaction Diagram Parsing (RxnDP). Our framework reformulates the traditional coordinate prediction driven parsing process into an image captioning problem, which Large Vision Language Models (LVLMs) handle naturally. We introduce a strategy termed BBox and Index as Visual Prompt (BIVP), which uses our state-of-the-art molecular detector, MolYOLO, to pre-draw molecular bounding boxes and indices directly onto the input image. This turns the downstream parsing into a natural-language description problem. Extensive experiments show that the BIVP strategy significantly improves structural extraction quality while simplifying model design. We further construct the RxnCaption-15k dataset, an order of magnitude larger than prior real-world literature benchmarks, with a balanced test subset across four layout archetypes. Experiments demonstrate that RxnCaption-VL achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple metrics. We believe our method, dataset, and models will advance structured information extraction from chemical literature and catalyze broader AI applications in chemistry. We will release data, models, and code on GitHub.

MMSD3.0: A Multi-Image Benchmark for Real-World Multimodal Sarcasm Detection

Despite progress in multimodal sarcasm detection, existing datasets and methods predominantly focus on single-image scenarios, overlooking potential semantic and affective relations across multiple images. This leaves a gap in modeling cases where sarcasm is triggered by multi-image cues in real-world settings. To bridge this gap, we introduce MMSD3.0, a new benchmark composed entirely of multi-image samples curated from tweets and Amazon reviews. We further propose the Cross-Image Reasoning Model (CIRM), which performs targeted cross-image sequence modeling to capture latent inter-image connections. In addition, we introduce a relevance-guided, fine-grained cross-modal fusion mechanism based on text-image correspondence to reduce information loss during integration. We establish a comprehensive suite of strong and representative baselines and conduct extensive experiments, showing that MMSD3.0 is an effective and reliable benchmark that better reflects real-world conditions. Moreover, CIRM demonstrates state-of-the-art performance across MMSD, MMSD2.0 and MMSD3.0, validating its effectiveness in both single-image and multi-image scenarios. Dataset and code are publicly available at https://github.com/ZHCMOONWIND/MMSD3.0.
