Cooperative perception allows agents to extend perceptual capabilities through inter-agent communication. However, most existing methods still adopt a frame-wise paradigm, which limits the exploitation of spatio-temporal consistency in dynamic scenes. Therefore, when observations are partially occluded or degraded, these methods are unable to leverage historical context for compensation, leading to unstable perception and reduced detection accuracy. To address these challenges, we propose World4V2X, the first world model framework tailored for V2X cooperative perception. The proposed method first introduces a spatial observability modeling module that defines spatial consistency boundaries to distinguish reliable regions from uncertain ones, thereby enabling spatial consistency modeling over multi-agent heterogeneous observations. Building upon this, we construct a consistency-guided world modeling module. Specifically, a temporal consistency evolution mechanism leverages features from historical and current frames to model the state evolution of the scene, capturing environmental dynamics and producing temporal consistency beliefs. Meanwhile, a consistency-guided deterministic reconstruction mechanism exploits spatial boundaries and temporal beliefs to perform diffusion-based refinement for robust cooperative perception. Extensive experiments on the OPV2V and V2XSet datasets demonstrate that World4V2X achieves state-of-the-art perception performance across diverse V2X scenarios.

As a prominent paradigm for large-scale unsupervised learning, anchor-based multi-view clustering aims to reveal the latent structures across heterogeneous data representations with high efficiency. Despite achieving some progress, existing methods typically suffer from the following two limitations. Firstly, they rely on pre-constructed anchors or rigid constraints (e.g., orthogonality), whereas the intrinsic topological correlations among anchors are completely discarded. Secondly, most existing methods either perform clustering directly on the bipartite graph or treat different views equally, thereby failing to capture the global structural information. To this end, the Dual-tOpology learning with adapTive Anchors (DOTA) is proposed, which not only learns the sample-anchor relationship (i.e., bipartite graph) but also preserves the topology structure among anchors, significantly enhancing the discriminability of learned representation while preserving the underlying data manifold. By integrating an adaptive view-weighting strategy to balance view contributions, DOTA derives discriminative global sample embeddings by propagating spectral information through the bipartite graph. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of DOTA.
Image quality is critical for accurate medical diagnosis. However, MRI, CT, and ultrasound images are often of low resolution and quality due to cost constraints, complicating the visualization of key anatomical structures and lesions. While such limitations are common in practice, traditional methods treat image enhancement as a separate preprocessing step, failing to fully leverage its potential synergy with image segmentation. To address this, we propose DiSIINet (Diffusion-based Symbiotic Information Interaction Network), which is built on the principle that enhancement and segmentation should mutually reinforce each other in a unified model. Based on Denoising Diffusion Implicit Models (DDIM), DiSIINet integrates an enhancement branch and a segmentation branch. These branches interact through a novel Symbiotic Information Interaction (SII) module, which facilitates dynamic, feature-level information exchange via cross-attention during the reverse diffusion process. This design enables both tasks to iteratively improve each other. The DDIM backbone ensures high-quality output and efficient inference through deterministic sampling. Experiments on multi-modal medical datasets (MRI, CT, ultrasound) show that DiSIINet achieves significant performance improvements compared to sequential or independent enhancement and segmentation approaches.

Personalized review generation is vital for e-commerce engagement, yet integrating user-provided images while maintaining distinct user personas remains a critical challenge. Existing methods often struggle to bridge the semantic gap between objective visual signals and subjective linguistic patterns, frequently resulting in hallucinations or homogenized, impersonal content. To address these limitations, we propose Snap2Review, a novel framework that harmonizes cross-modal retrieval with fine-grained preference learning. First, we optimize a cross-modal retriever that maps visual features directly to semantically related historical reviews, using these interactions as precise anchors to strictly ground the generation. Second, we introduce Tri-DPO, which employs a stratified negative sampling strategy with varying difficulty levels, ranging from obvious errors to subtle stylistic mismatches, to force the model to discern fine-grained user preferences. By distinguishing these fine-grained nuances, our model moves beyond generic praise to accurately mimic the user's authentic writing style. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that Snap2Review significantly outperforms strong baselines in both relevance and personalization metrics.
Knowledge Tracing (KT) is fundamental to intelligent education systems, yet relies on educational logs that are selectively observed. The non-random nature of exercise recommendations and student choices inevitably induces severe selection bias. Most existing KT methods neglect this issue, training on observed logs using standard empirical risk, which yields biased mastery estimates and accumulates errors in subsequent recommendations. To address this, we introduce a doubly robust (DR) formulation for KT that integrates a propensity model with an error imputation model, theoretically guaranteeing unbiasedness if either model is accurate. Beyond unbiasedness, in the sequential setting of KT, we identify that the estimator's performance is compromised by variance-dependent stochastic deviations that accumulate over time, thereby causing training instability and limiting performance. To mitigate this, we derive a generalization bound that explicitly characterizes the impact of estimator variance and identifies temporal smoothness as a key factor in controlling it. Building on these theoretical insights, we propose the Temporal Smoothness Doubly Robust (TSDR) framework. TSDR jointly optimizes the KT predictor and the imputation model with a smoothness regularizer, effectively reducing variance while preserving the unbiasedness guarantee of DR. Experiments on multiple real-world benchmarks demonstrate that TSDR consistently enhances various state-of-the-art KT backbones, underscoring the vital role of principled bias correction in KT.
Federated Learning (FL) enables distributed learning across multiple clients without sharing raw data. When statistical heterogeneity across clients is severe, Clustered Federated Learning (CFL) can improve performance by grouping similar clients and training cluster-wise models. However, most CFL approaches rely on multiple communication rounds for cluster estimation and model updates, which limits their practicality under tight constraints on communication rounds. We propose Data Collaboration-based Clustered Federated Learning (DC-CFL), a single-round framework that completes both client clustering and cluster-wise learning, using only the information shared in DC analysis. DC-CFL quantifies inter-client similarity via total variation distance between label distributions, estimates clusters using hierarchical clustering, and performs cluster-wise learning via DC analysis. Experiments on multiple open datasets under representative non-IID conditions show that DC-CFL achieves accuracy comparable to multi-round baselines while requiring only one communication round. These results indicate that DC-CFL is a practical alternative for collaborative AI model development when multiple communication rounds are impractical. Our source code is publicly available at https://github.com/soutasuga/DC-CFL.
3D Gaussian Splatting enables efficient, high-fidelity novel view synthesis with explicit Gaussians and differentiable rendering. However, adverse weather introduces rain streaks and droplets as well as volumetric scattering, producing view-dependent, spatially varying degradations that break the clean multi-view consistency assumption and lead to geometric drift and unstable appearance. Existing approaches are largely confined to the 2D image domain and seldom model the 3D degradation formation process, limiting controllable weather synthesis and consistent restoration in 3DGS. To our knowledge, we are the first to incorporate real meteorological observations as an external prior and propose a 3D-level unified rendering–restoration framework for joint deraining and dehazing within a single 3DGS pipeline. Precipitation is mapped to interpretable parameters controlling the density and morphology of rain Gaussians, while an atmospheric-scattering extinction strength drives 3D fog generation for reproducible weather modeling. We adopt a closed-loop dual-branch optimization where the rendering branch fits degraded observations to capture weather degradation patterns, and the restoration branch regularizes scene Gaussians toward a clean domain with multi-scale perceptual consistency, suppressing artifacts and improving cross-view detail fidelity. Experiments across diverse scenes and weather conditions consistently outperform strong baselines on all three metrics, with a particularly notable PSNR improvement of 1.78 dB on average.
Chemical Language Models (CLMs) pre-trained on large-scale molecular data are widely used for molecular property prediction. However, the common belief that increasing training resources, such as model size, dataset size, and training compute, improves both pre-training loss and downstream task performance has not been systematically validated in the chemical domain. In this work, we evaluate this assumption by pre-training CLMs while scaling training resources and measuring transfer performance across diverse molecular property prediction (MPP) tasks. We find that while pre-training loss consistently decreases with increased training resources, downstream task performance shows limited improvement. Moreover, alternative metrics based on the Hessian or loss landscape also fail to estimate downstream performance in CLMs. We further identify conditions under which downstream performance saturates or degrades despite continued improvements in pre-training metrics, and analyze the underlying task-dependent failure modes through parameter space visualizations. These results expose a gap between pre-training-based evaluation and downstream performance, and emphasize the need for model selection and evaluation strategies that explicitly account for downstream task characteristics.

Continual Visual Question Answering (VQA) requires learning from non-stationary streams of visual inputs and questions while preserving past knowledge. Most prior methods adapt by updating a largely shared parameter set. This often leads to cross-level task interference, hindering accurate adaptation to the current task and object. To address this limitation, we propose HyLoVQA. It maintains a drift-resilient memory bank of anchors. The bank stores the content of visual objects and textual tasks, and they are updated using current input features. Conditioned on retrieved anchors, a hypernetwork generates lightweight Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) adapters. This ensures parameter efficiency, allowing the model to adapt to each task and object dynamically. Additionally, we formulate an alignment loss that aligns semantic discrepancies in the feature space with functional changes in the parameter space, thereby constraining LoRA adapters to remain focused on the current task and object. Extensive experiments on VQA v2 and NExT-QA under both standard and compositional settings demonstrate the superiority of HyLoVQA over prior state-of-the-art methods. The code is available at https://github.com/HubuKG/HyLoVQA.
Many real-world applications require solving families of expensive multi-objective optimization problems~(EMOPs) under varying operational conditions. This can be formulated as parametric expensive multi-objective optimization problems (P-EMOPs) where each task parameter defines a distinct optimization instance. Current multi-objective Bayesian optimization methods have been widely used for finding finite sets of Pareto optimal solutions for each task. However, P-EMOPs present a fundamental challenge: the continuous task parameter space can contain infinite distinct problems, each requiring separate expensive evaluations. To address this, we propose learning an inverse model to amortize the multi-objective optimization cost across the continuous task-preference space, enabling direct solution prediction for any query without the need for expensive re-evaluation. This paper introduces a novel parametric multi-objective Bayesian optimizer that learns this inverse model by alternating between (1) generative solution sampling via conditional generative models and (2) acquisition-driven search leveraging inter-task synergies. This approach enables effective optimization across multiple tasks and finally achieves direct solution prediction for unseen parameterized EMOPs without re-evaluations. We theoretically justify the faster convergence by leveraging inter-task synergies through task-aware Gaussian processes. Based on that, empirical studies in synthetic and real-world benchmarks further verify the effectiveness of the proposed parametric optimizer.
Short video harmful content detection aims to automatically identify diverse anomalies from user-generated media. This task presents unique challenges due to frequent editing cuts and highly variable anomaly densities, limiting the effectiveness of traditional surveillance-based approaches. Moreover, existing Vision-Language Model-based approaches typically rely on rigid instance selection mechanisms that fail to adapt to the unpredictable duration of anomalies in such unconstrained videos. To address these issues, we propose SVLA, a Shot-conditioned Vision-Language Adaptation framework, for effectively detecting harmful contents from online short videos. Our approach introduces a novel π-adaptive strategy to dynamically estimate shot-level anomaly density, replacing rigid selection with calibrated supervision. Furthermore, we employ a shot-conditioned temporal encoder to respect video hierarchy and adopt a dual-path contextual adapter to resolve semantic ambiguity. To benchmark this task, we construct a new dataset (SVA) covering more genuine online short videos that involve seven anomaly categories. Experiments on the SVA dataset demonstrate that SVLA can achieve the state-of-the-art performance and outperform its competitors across diverse scenarios. Codes and datasets are available at: https://github.com/xushuai7/IJCAI-SVLA.
Inspired by natural language processing prompt learning, recent heterogeneous graph prompt-tuning methods have been developed to better align pre-trained models with downstream tasks. However, existing heterogeneous prompt methods primarily focus on holistic framework design, causing prompts to heavily depend on specific pre-trained models and thus limiting generalization. To address this, we focus on the common encoder module shared across pre-trained models and the multi-relational edge structure unique to heterogeneous graphs, proposing a novel heterogeneous graph prompt-tuning method named HGMRP. It simultaneously resolves the issue of inconsistent objectives during prompt optimization when messages propagate across different relational edges. By assigning learnable prompt vectors to different types of edges, HGMRP integrates multi-relational prompts directly into the message-passing process. Furthermore, we extend single-relation prompts into a composite structure that includes both relation-specific and shared components, thereby enhancing expressive capability. Extensive experiments conducted on four widely used heterogeneous graph datasets show that HGMRP can adapt to various types of pre-trained models and significantly outperforms existing heterogeneous prompt methods, validating its effectiveness and superiority.
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are vulnerable to backdoor attacks, where models behave normally on clean data but exhibit targeted misclassifications once specific triggers are activated. Existing backdoor attacks on GNNs mainly focus on enhancing trigger stealthiness or diversifying attack paradigms. However, these methods overlook a fundamental property of GNNs: trigger-induced malicious signals inevitably propagate through graph neighborhoods, causing unintended mispredictions on clean nodes, i.e., Collateral Damage. To address this issue, we propose the Collateral Damage Constrained Graph Backdoor Attack (CDCA), a novel framework that explicitly controls malicious diffusion. Specifically, the proposed method combines neighborhood-aware target node selection with a self-constrained trigger generation strategy to suppress trigger-induced propagation by enforcing prediction consistency on clean K-hop neighboring nodes. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed method remains effective while significantly reducing collateral damage.
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) serves a pivotal role in characterizing gene expression at the cellular level, enabling the identification of cell types and advancing the understanding of cellular heterogeneity. Despite the significant progress in scRNA-seq data clustering, we argue that current methods always ignore the sparsity and noise, as well as the complex intercellular structural information inherent in scRNA-seq data. Toward this end, in this paper, we propose a novel single-cell RNA-seq clustering framework via deep Siamese Graph Transformer Network (termed scGTN), which explicitly integrates gene expression profile and intercellular structural dependencies for cell clustering. In particular, we formulate scRNA-seq data as a graph and construct two augmented graph views that serve as dual views to capture complementary intercellular information. Then, a Siamese graph transformer network is employed to explicitly incorporate shortest-path information and node-wise distances for capturing richer structural relationships between cells. Finally, we employ an optimal transport strategy to guide the cell clustering in a self-supervised manner. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmark scRNA-seq datasets demonstrate that our scGTN consistently outperforms existing methods. Our code is available at https://github.com/W-RMSL/scGTN.
Time-series clustering remains challenging due to the inherent trade-off between clustering effectiveness and computational efficiency. Similarity-based methods often suffer from quadratic complexity caused by pairwise distance computations, while deep learning–based approaches typically rely on costly iterative training and a large number of trainable parameters. In this paper, we propose MSRGC-Net, an efficient time-series clustering framework that integrates multiscale reservoir computing, granular-ball-based anchoring graph construction, and consensus learning. MSRGC-Net adopts a training-free reservoir computing paradigm to extract multiscale temporal representations from raw time series without backpropagation, significantly reducing computational overhead. To capture the intrinsic structure of the resulting representations, granular-ball computing is employed to adaptively model data distributions via density-consistent regions, yielding compact and robust anchor graph representations. Furthermore, a consensus-based anchoring graph optimization strategy is introduced to effectively align multiscale reservoir representations and integrate complementary information across temporal scales. Extensive experiments on widely used univariate and multivariate benchmark datasets demonstrate that MSRGC-Net consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in clustering performance while maintaining superior computational efficiency.
Many multiagent systems depend on collective decisions made by self-interested agents, which raises deep questions about coalition formation and stability. We study social choice with endogenous, outcome-contingent transfers, where agents voluntarily form contracts that redistribute utility depending on the collective decision, allowing for fully strategic coalition formation. We show that under consensus rules, individually rational strong Nash equilibria (IR–SNE) always exist, implementing welfare-maximizing outcomes with feasible transfers, and provide a simple, efficient algorithm to construct them. For more general anonymous, monotonic, and resolute rules, we identify necessary conditions for viable deviations, significantly limiting the possibility of destabilizing coalitions. By bridging cooperative and noncooperative perspectives, our approach shows that transferable utility can achieve core-like stability, restoring efficiency and budget balance even where classical impossibility results generally apply. Overall, this framework offers a practical and robust way to coordinate large-scale strategic multiagent systems.
Infrared and Visible Image Fusion (IVIF) has shown promise in visual tasks under challenging environments, but fusion under unregistered conditions faces inherent misalignments. Current studies to solve them either predict the deformation parameters coarse-to-fine (i.e., coarse registration and fine registration) or estimate the deformation fields in multi-scales for registration. Though straightforward, they overlook the cumulative errors in registration, which contaminate the fusion stage and severely deteriorate the resulting images. We introduce the Spatial-Frequency Registration and Fusion (SFRF) framework, which incorporates uncertainty estimation and infrared thermal radiation distribution consistency into a unified pipeline to handle the error accumulation for robust registration and fusion across both spatial and frequency domains. Specifically, SFRF constructs a Multi-scale Iterative Registration (MIR) framework that iteratively refines the deformation field across scales, leveraging uncertainty estimation at each stage to mitigate error accumulation and enhance alignment accuracy dynamically. To ensure the accurate alignment of infrared thermal distributions during registration, thermal radiation distribution consistency is employed as a frequency-domain supervisory signal, promoting global consistency in the frequency domain. Based on the spatial-frequency alignment, SFRF further adopts a Dual-branch Spatial-Frequency Fusion (DSFF) module, which incorporates spatial geometric features and frequency distribution information to reconstruct visually appealing images. SRFR achieves impressive performance across diverse datasets. Code is available at github.com/xhhaoyan/SFRF.
Problems defined on binary decision spaces have been intensively studied in the theory of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs). In contrast, no mathematical runtime analyses exist so far for MOEAs dealing with decision variables that take a finite number r > 2 of values, despite the prevalence of such problems in practice. In this work, we begin to fill this research gap. We analyze how the classic SEMO algorithm with unit-strength local mutation computes the Pareto front of an r-valued counterpart of the classic ONEMINMAX benchmark. For the expected number of function evaluations until the Pareto front is covered by the population of this MOEA, we prove an upper bound of O(n²r² log n) and a near-tight lower bound of Ω(n²r(r + log n)). We can close the small remaining gap between these two bounds by considering a variant of the algorithm that accepts only strictly better solutions; for this variant, we show an upper bound of O(n²r(r + log n)), matching our lower bound, which also holds for this variant. Our results suggest that classic MOEAs encounter no significant additional difficulties when dealing with multi-valued decision variables. However, significantly more advanced tools may be required to obtain tight bounds for algorithms with more complex population dynamics.
We study a robust scheduling problem on identical machines in which machines may fail after the initial assignment. The goal is to compute an initial schedule together with a recovery strategy that minimizes the post-failure makespan, under the constraint that jobs on available machines cannot be moved. We consider two failure models: a strong adversary, which selects the failed machines, and a weak adversary, which selects only the number of failures. For up to k failures, we give algorithms with robustness ratios 1.618 for the strong adversary and 1.5 for the weak adversary. For the single-failure case, k = 1, we obtain best possible ratios 1.387 and 1.281, respectively, matching our lower bounds.
Tool learning methods have enhanced the ability of large language models (LLMs) to interact with real-world applications. Many existing works fine-tune LLMs or design prompts to enable LLMs to select appropriate tools and correctly invoke them to meet user requirements. However, it is observed in previous works that the performance of tool learning varies from tasks, datasets, training settings, and algorithms. Without understanding the impact of these factors, it can lead to inconsistent results, inefficient model deployment, and suboptimal tool utilization, ultimately hindering the practical integration and scalability of LLMs in real-world scenarios. Therefore, in this paper, we explore the impact of both internal and external factors on the performance of tool learning frameworks. Through extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets, we find several insightful conclusions for future work, including the observation that LLMs can benefit significantly from increased trial and exploration. We believe our empirical study provides a new perspective for future tool learning research.
