Existing diffusion-based object removal and inpainting methods often fail to recover the fine structural and textural details of small objects. This is primarily due to the VAE encoder’s downsampling, which inevitably compresses small masked regions and causes significant detail loss, while the decoder’s upsampling alone cannot fully restore the lost fine details. However, the adverse effects of this fixed compression can be mitigated by enlarging the perspective of these regions. To this end, we propose ReFocusEraser, a two-stage framework for small object removal that combines camera-adaptive zoom-in inpainting with robust context- and shadow-aware repair. In Stage I, a camera-adaptive refocus mechanism magnifies masked regions, and a LoRA-tuned diffusion model ensures precise semantic alignment for accurate reconstruction. However, reintegrating these magnified inpainted regions into the original image introduces challenges due to VAE asymmetry, such as color shifts and seams. Stage II addresses these issues by fine-tuning an additional decoder to create a seam- and shadow-aware module that eliminates residual artifacts while preserving background consistency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed RefocusEraser achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming existing methods across benchmark datasets.

Video generation models, as one form of world models, has emerged as one of the most exciting frontiers in AI, promising agents the ability to imagine the future by modeling the temporal evolution of complex scenes. In autonomous driving, this vision gives rise to driving world models—generative simulators that imagine ego and agent futures, enabling scalable simulation, safe testing of corner cases, and rich synthetic data generation. Yet, despite fast-growing research activity, the field lacks a rigorous benchmark to measure progress and guide priorities. Existing evaluations remain limited: generic video metrics overlook safety-critical imaging factors; trajectory plausibility is rarely quantified; temporal and agent-level consistency is neglected; and controllability with respect to ego conditioning is ignored. Moreover, current datasets fail to cover the diversity of conditions required for real-world deployment. To address these gaps, we present DrivingGen, the first comprehensive benchmark for generative driving world models. DrivingGen combines a diverse evaluation dataset—curated from both driving datasets and internet-scale video sources, spanning varied weather, time of day, geographic regions, and complex maneuvers—with a suite of new metrics that jointly assess visual realism, trajectory plausibility, temporal coherence, and controllability. Benchmarking 14 state-of-the-art models reveals clear trade-offs: general models look better but break physics, while driving-specific ones capture motion realistically but lag in visual quality. DrivingGen offers a unified evaluation framework to foster reliable, controllable, and deployable driving world models, enabling scalable simulation, planning, and data-driven decision-making.

Geometry problem solving presents distinctive challenges in artificial intelligence, requiring exceptional multimodal comprehension and rigorous mathematical reasoning capabilities. Existing approaches typically fall into two categories: neural-based and symbolic-based methods, both of which exhibit limitations in reliability and interpretability. To address this challenge, we propose AutoGPS, a neuro-symbolic collaborative framework that solves geometry problems with concise, reliable, and human-interpretable reasoning processes. Specifically, AutoGPS employs a Multimodal Problem Formalizer (MPF) and a Deductive Symbolic Reasoner (DSR). The MPF utilizes neural cross-modal comprehension to translate geometry problems into structured formal language representations, with feedback from DSR collaboratively. The DSR takes the formalization as input and formulates geometry problem solving as a hypergraph expansion task, executing mathematically rigorous and reliable derivation to produce minimal and human-readable stepwise solutions. Extensive experimental evaluations demonstrate that AutoGPS achieves state-of-the-art performance on benchmark datasets. Furthermore, human stepwise-reasoning evaluation confirms AutoGPS's impressive reliability and interpretability, with 99\% stepwise logical coherence.

In this paper, we propose Label-Aware Noise Elimination (LANE), a new approach to learning with noisy labels. At its core, LANE introduces a new metric---label-aware margin---aimed at quantifying the degree of noise of each training example (or quality thereof). LANE leverages the semantic relations between classes and monitors the training dynamics of the model on each training example to dynamically lower the weight of training examples that are perceived to have noisy labels. We test the effectiveness of LANE on multiple text classification tasks and benchmark our approach on a wide variety of datasets with various numbers of classes and amounts of label noise. LANE considerably outperforms strong baselines on all datasets and settings, obtaining significant improvements ranging from an average improvement of 2.88% in F1 on manually annotated datasets to a considerable average improvement of 4.75% F1 on datasets with high level of injected label noise. We carry out a comprehensive analysis of LANE and identify the key components that lead to its success.

LLM-as-a-Judge has been widely adopted across various research and practical applications, yet the robustness and reliability of its evaluation remain a critical issue. A core challenge it faces is bias, which has primarily been studied in terms of known biases and their impact on evaluation outcomes, while automated and systematic exploration of potential unknown biases is still lacking. Nevertheless, such exploration is crucial for enhancing the robustness and reliability of evaluations. To bridge this gap, we propose BiasScope, a LLM-driven framework for automatically and at scale discovering potential biases that may arise during model evaluation. BiasScope can uncover potential biases across different model families and scales, with its generality and effectiveness validated on the JudgeBench dataset. It overcomes the limitations of existing approaches, transforming bias discovery from a passive process relying on manual effort and predefined bias lists into an active and comprehensive automated exploration. Moreover, based on BiasScope, we propose JudgeBench-Pro, an extended version of JudgeBench and a more challenging benchmark for evaluating the robustness of LLM-as-a-judge. Strikingly, even powerful LLMs as evaluators show error rates above 50\% on JudgeBench-Pro, underscoring the urgent need to strengthen evaluation robustness and to mitigate potential biases further.

Federated learning (FL) is increasingly adopted in domains like healthcare, where data privacy is paramount. A fundamental challenge in these systems is statistical heterogeneity—the fact that data distributions vary significantly across clients (e.g., different hospitals may treat distinct patient demographics). While current FL algorithms focus on aggregating model updates from these heterogeneous clients, the potential of the central server remains under-explored. This paper is motivated by a healthcare scenario: could a central server not only coordinate model training but also guide a new patient to the hospital best equipped for their specific condition? We generalize this idea to propose a novel paradigm for FL systems where the server actively guides the allocation of new tasks or queries to the most appropriate client. To enable this, we introduce a density ratio model and empirical likelihood-based framework that simultaneously addresses two goals: (1) learning effective local models on each client, and (2) finding the best matching client for a new query. Empirical results demonstrate the framework's effectiveness on benchmark datasets, showing improvements in both model accuracy and the precision of client guidance compared to standard FL approaches. This work opens a new direction for building more intelligent and resource-efficient FL systems that leverage heterogeneity as a feature, not just a bug.

Evaluating test cases automatically generated by Large Language Models (LLMs) is a critical yet challenging task. Existing benchmarks often evaluate the exclusion ratio on large, unstructured collections of wrong codes, suffering from high computational costs and score inflation. Furthermore, they inadvertently reward generators that detect common, trivial bugs, while failing to penalize their inability to identify rare yet critical faults. In this work, we connect two fundamental questions: (1) What is the minimal set of wrong codes sufficient to represent the entire error space? and (2) What is the minimal set of test cases needed to distinguish them? We introduce a novel framework that formalizes benchmark construction as finding an optimal diagnostic basis in a binary code-test matrix, where rows represent wrong codes and columns represent test case results. The rank of this matrix specifies the minimal number of independent error patterns (wrong codes) and provides a tight upper bound on the number of test cases required for complete fault coverage. Our objective is to identify a basis of size equal to the matrix rank that maximizes internal diversity. To tackle this NP-hard problem, we propose WrongSelect, an efficient approximation algorithm to select maximally diverse wrong codes. Applying this framework to millions of competitive programming submissions, we construct TC-Bench, a compact, diverse, and inflation-resistant benchmark. Extensive experiments show that even the most advanced test case generation methods achieve only ~60\% exclusion rates on TC-Bench, exposing a significant gap in their diagnostic power and highlighting substantial room for future improvement. Our dataset is available at: https://huggingface.co/datasets/Luoberta/TC-Bench and our code is at: https://github.com/Luowaterbi/TC-Bench.

Online video super-resolution (VSR) is an important technique for many real-world video processing applications, which aims to restore the current high-resolution video frame based on temporally previous frames. Most of the existing online VSR methods solely employ one neighboring previous frame to achieve temporal alignment, which limits long-range temporal modeling of videos. Recently, state space models (SSMs) have been proposed with linear computational complexity and a global receptive field, which significantly improve computational efficiency and performance. In this context, this paper presents a novel online VSR method based on Trajectory-aware Shifted SSMs (TS-Mamba), leveraging both long-term trajectory modeling and low-complexity Mamba to achieve efficient spatio-temporal information aggregation. Specifically, TS-Mamba first constructs the trajectories within a video to select the most similar tokens from the previous frames. Then, a Trajectory-aware Shifted Mamba Aggregation (TSMA) module consisting of proposed shifted SSMs blocks is employed to aggregate the selected tokens. The shifted SSMs blocks are designed based on Hilbert scannings and corresponding shift operations to compensate for scanning losses and strengthen the spatial continuity of Mamba. Additionally, we propose a trajectory-aware loss function to supervise the trajectory generation, ensuring the accuracy of token selection when training our model. Extensive experiments on three widely used VSR test datasets demonstrate that compared with six online VSR benchmark models, our TS-Mamba achieves state-of-the-art performance in most cases and over 22.7% complexity reduction (in MACs). The source code for TS-Mamba is available at https://github.com/QZ1-boy/TS-Mamba.

Test-time adaptation (TTA) of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) has emerged as a technique for tackling distribution shifts during the test time. Recent research indicates that the test-time adaptation is intrinsically linked to the model's training history. However, existing TTA methods, such as Test-time Prompt Tuning, often design adaptation strategies in isolation from the models' training characteristics, which degrade their performance. This paper argues that the flatness acquired via sharpness-aware training is an efficient clue for the test-time adaptation of VLMs. Built on this insight, this paper proposes a novel Flatness-Guided Adaptation framework (FGA) for VLMs to cohesively unify training and test-time procedures. Its core idea is to leverage the alignment between the training minimum and test loss flat regions to guide the adaptation process. Specifically, our FGA consists of a prompt-tuning stage and a test-time adaptation stage. In the tuning stage, a Sharpness-Aware Prompt Tuning method is utilized to identify the training flat minimum, offering a geometric clue of flatness for subsequent adaptation. In the test stage, a Sharpness-based Test Sample Selection approach is proposed to ensure the alignment of flat minima between the training and each augmented test sample's loss landscape. In comparison to existing TTA methods, our FGA avoids the expensive prompt parameter updates during test time, and substantially reduces the computation overhead. Extensive experiments on both domain generalization and cross-dataset benchmarks demonstrate that our FGA achieves superior performance over prevalent TTA methods. Notably, when employing a ViT-B/16 image encoder, FGA even outperforms TPT+CoOp by an average of 4.88\% across all four ImageNet out-of-domain variants.

Most state-of-the-art probabilistic time series forecasting models rely on sampling to represent future uncertainty. However, this paradigm suffers from inherent limitations, such as lacking explicit probabilities, inadequate coverage, and high computational costs. In this work, we introduce **Probabilistic Scenarios**, an alternative paradigm designed to address the limitations of sampling. It operates by directly producing a finite set of {Scenario, Probability} pairs, thus avoiding Monte Carlo-like approximation. To validate this paradigm, we propose **TimePrism**, a simple model composed of only three parallel linear layers. Surprisingly, TimePrism achieves 9 out of 10 state-of-the-art results across five benchmark datasets on two metrics. The effectiveness of our paradigm comes from a fundamental reframing of the learning objective. Instead of modeling an entire continuous probability space, the model learns to represent a set of plausible scenarios and corresponding probabilities. Our work demonstrates the potential of the Probabilistic Scenarios paradigm, opening a promising research direction in forecasting beyond sampling.

While diffusion models excel at image generation, their growing adoption raises critical concerns about copyright issues and model transparency. Existing attribution methods identify training examples influencing an entire image, but fall short in isolating contributions to specific elements, such as styles or objects, that are of primary concern to stakeholders. To address this gap, we introduce _concept-level attribution_ through a novel method called _Concept-TRAK_, which extends influence functions with a key innovation: specialized training and utility loss functions designed to isolate concept-specific influences rather than overall reconstruction quality. We evaluate Concept-TRAK on novel concept attribution benchmarks using Synthetic and CelebA-HQ datasets, as well as the established AbC benchmark, showing substantial improvements over prior methods in concept-level attribution scenarios. We further demonstrate its versatility on real-world text-to-image generation with compositional and multi-concept prompts.

High-quality time series (TS) data are essential for ensuring TS model performance, rendering research on rating TS data quality indispensable. Existing methods have shown promising rating accuracy within individual domains, primarily by extending data quality rating techniques such as influence functions and Shapley values to account for temporal characteristics. However, they neglect the fact that real-world TS data can span vastly different domains and exhibit distinct properties, hampering the accurate and efficient rating of diverse TS data. In this paper, we propose TSRating, a novel and unified framework for rating the quality of time series data crawled from diverse domains. TSRating leverages LLMs' inherent ample knowledge, acquired during their extensive pretraining, to comprehend and discern quality differences in diverse TS data. We verify this by devising a series of prompts to elicit quality comparisons from LLMs for pairs of TS samples. We then fit a dedicated rating model, termed TSRater, to convert the LLMs' judgments into efficient quality predictions by inferring future TS samples through TSRater's inference. To ensure cross-domain adaptability, we develop a meta-learning scheme to train TSRater on quality comparisons collected from nine distinct domains. To improve training efficiency, we employ signSGD for inner-loop updates, thus circumventing the demanding computation of hypergradients. Extensive experimental results on eleven benchmark datasets across three time series tasks, each using both conventional TS models and TS foundation models, demonstrate that TSRating outperforms baselines in terms of estimation accuracy, efficiency, and domain adaptability.

Agentic tasks, which require multistep problem solving with tool use and adaptive reasoning, are becoming increasingly central to the advancement of NLP and AI. Although benchmarks such as GAIA and BrowseComp have advanced agent evaluation, their scalability remains limited by the high cost of human annotation. We introduce TaskCraft, the first automated workflow for generating scalable, multitool, and verifiable agentic tasks of difficulty. TaskCraft progressively complexifies atomic tasks through depth-based and width-based extensions, with incremental validation via rejection sampling and LLM-based linguistic analysis, ensuring both scalability and efficiency. The generated tasks enable trajectory sampling within state-of-the-art workflows, supporting end-to-end SFT and RL training. Experimental results on multiple LLMs show that TaskCraft data substantially improves multi-hop reasoning and agentic capabilities. Further scaling with TaskCraft tasks and applying RL training yields additional gains, achieving state-of-the-art performance on four agentic benchmarks. The resulting dataset comprises 41k tool-intensive tasks across varied difficulty levels, including 12.6k tool-interaction trajectories and 5k multihop decompositions.

We present Kaleido, a family of generative models designed for photorealistic, unified object- and scene-level neural rendering. Kaleido is driven by the principle of treating 3D as a specialised sub-domain of video, which we formulate purely as a sequence-to-sequence image synthesis task. Through a systemic study of scaling sequence-to-sequence generative neural rendering, we introduce key architectural innovations that enable our model to: i) perform generative view synthesis without explicit 3D representations; ii) generate any number of 6-DoF target views conditioned on any number of reference views via a masked autoregressive framework; and iii) seamlessly unify 3D and video modelling within a single decoder-only rectified flow transformer. Within this unified framework, Kaleido leverages large-scale video data for pre-training, which significantly improves spatial consistency and reduces reliance on scarce, camera-labelled 3D datasets --- all without any architectural modifications. Kaleido sets a new state-of-the-art on a range of view synthesis benchmarks. Its zero-shot performance substantially outperforms other generative methods in few-view settings, and, for the first time, matches the quality of per-scene optimisation methods in many-view settings. For supplementary materials, including Kaleido's generated renderings and videos, please refer to our website: https://shikun.io/projects/kaleido.

DeepSeek-R1-Zero has successfully demonstrated the emergence of reasoning capabilities in LLMs purely through Reinforcement Learning (RL). Inspired by this breakthrough, we explore how RL can be utilized to enhance the reasoning capability of MLLMs. However, direct training with RL struggles to activate complex reasoning capabilities such as questioning and reflection in MLLMs, due to the absence of substantial high-quality multimodal reasoning data. To address this issue, we propose the reasoning MLLM, Vision-R1, to improve multimodal reasoning capability. Specifically, we first construct a high-quality multimodal CoT dataset without human annotations by leveraging an existing MLLM and DeepSeek-R1 through modality bridging and data filtering to obtain a 200K multimodal CoT dataset, Vision-R1-cold dataset. It serves as cold-start initialization data for Vision-R1. To mitigate the optimization challenges caused by overthinking after cold start, we propose Progressive Thinking Suppression Training (PTST) strategy and employ Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with the hard formatting result reward function to gradually refine the model's ability to learn correct and complex reasoning processes on the multimodal math dataset. Comprehensive experiments show our model achieves an average improvement of $\sim$6\% across various multimodal math reasoning benchmarks using only a 10K multimodal math data during RL training. Vision-R1-7B achieves a 73.5\% accuracy on the widely used MathVista benchmark, which is only 0.4\% lower than the leading reasoning model, OpenAI O1. Scaling up the amount of multimodal math data in the RL training, Vision-R1-32B and Vison-R1-72B achieves 76.4\% and 78.2\% MathVista benchmark scores, respectively. The datasets, weight and code will be released in: https://github.com/Osilly/Vision-R1.

Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle with problems that require multi-step reasoning. For small-scale open-source models, Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) fails when correct solutions are rarely sampled even after many attempts, while Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) tends to overfit long demonstrations through rigid token-by-token imitation. To address this gap, we propose Supervised Reinforcement Learning (SRL), a framework that reformulates problem solving as generating a sequence of logical ``actions''. SRL trains the model to generate an internal reasoning monologue before committing to each action. It provides smoother rewards based on the similarity between the model's actions and expert actions extracted from the SFT dataset in a step-wise manner. This supervision offers richer learning signals even when all rollouts are incorrect, while encouraging flexible reasoning guided by expert demonstrations. As a result, SRL enables small models to learn challenging problems previously unlearnable by SFT or RLVR. Moreover, initializing training with SRL before refining with RLVR yields the strongest overall performance. Beyond reasoning benchmarks, SRL generalizes effectively to agentic software engineering tasks, establishing it as a robust and versatile training framework for reasoning-oriented LLMs.

Synthetically augmenting training datasets with diffusion models has become an effective strategy for improving the generalization of image classifiers. However, existing approaches typically increase dataset size by 10–30× and struggle to ensure generation diversity, leading to substantial computational overhead. In this work, we introduce TADA (**TA**rgeted **D**iffusion **A**ugmentation), a principled framework that selectively augments examples that are not learned early in training using faithful synthetic images that preserve semantic features while varying noise. We show that augmenting only this targeted subset consistently outperforms augmenting the entire dataset. Through theoretical analysis on a two-layer CNN, we prove that TADA improves generalization by promoting homogeneity in feature learning speed without amplifying noise. Extensive experiments demonstrate that by augmenting only 30–40% of the training data, TADA improves generalization by up to 2.8% across diverse architectures including ResNet, ViT, ConvNeXt, and Swin Transformer on CIFAR-10/100, TinyImageNet, and ImageNet, using optimizers such as SGD and SAM. Notably, TADA combined with SGD outperforms the state-of-the-art optimizer SAM on CIFAR-100 and TinyImageNet. Furthermore, TADA shows promising improvements on object detection benchmarks, demonstrating its applicability beyond image classification. Our code is available at https://github.com/BigML-CS-UCLA/TADA.

Local non-stationarity is pivotal to solving partial differential equations (PDEs). However, in operator learning, the spatially local information inherent in the data is often overlooked. Even when explicitly modeled, it is usually collapsed into local superpositions within the model architecture, preventing full exploitation of local features in physical phenomena. To address this limitation, our paper proposes a novel Riesz Neural Operator (RNO) based on the spectral derivative representation. Since PDEs are fundamentally governed by local derivatives, RNO leverages the Riesz transform, a natural spectral representation of derivatives, to mix global spectral information with local directional variations. This approach allows the RNO to outperform existing operators in complex scenarios that require sensitivity to local detail. Our design bridges the gap between physical interpretability and local dynamics. Experimental results demonstrate that the RNO consistently achieves superior prediction accuracy and generalization performance compared to existing approaches across various benchmark PDE problems and complex real-world datasets, presenting superior non-linear reconstruction capability in model analysis.

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable and steadily improving performance across a wide range of tasks. However, LLM performance may be highly sensitive to prompt variations especially in scenarios with limited openness or strict output formatting requirements, indicating insufficient robustness. In real-world applications, user prompts provided to LLMs often contain imperfections, which may undermine the quality of the model's responses. To address this issue, previous work has primarily focused on preprocessing prompts, employing external tools or even LLMs to refine prompt formulations in advance. However, these approaches overlook the intrinsic robustness of LLMs, and their reliance on external components introduces additional computational overhead and uncertainty. In this work, we propose a Contrastive Learning-based Inverse Direct Preference Optimization (CoIPO) method that minimizes the discrepancy between the label-aligned logits produced by the model under a clean prompt and its noisy counterpart, and conduct a detailed analysis using mutual information theory. We augment the FLAN dataset by constructing paired prompts, each consisting of a clean prompt and its corresponding noisy version for training. Additionally, to evaluate the effectiveness, we develop NoisyPromptBench, a benchmark enhanced and derived from the existing PromptBench. Experimental results conducted on NoisyPromptBench demonstrate that our proposed method achieves a significant improvement in average accuracy over the current state-of-the-art approaches. The source code of CoIPO, pair-wise FLAN datasets, and NoisyPromptBench have already been released on https://github.com/vegetable-yx/CoIPO.

Irregular multivariate time series (IMTS) are prevalent in critical domains like healthcare and finance, where accurate forecasting is vital for proactive decision-making. However, the asynchronous sampling and irregular intervals inherent to IMTS pose two core challenges for existing methods: (1) how to accurately represent the raw information of irregular time series without introducing data distortion, and (2) how to effectively capture the complex dynamic dependencies between observation points. To address these challenges, we propose the Adaptive Spatio-Temporal Graph Interaction (ASTGI) framework. Specifically, the framework first employs a Spatio-Temporal Point Representation module to encode each discrete observation as a point within a learnable spatio-temporal embedding space. Second, a Neighborhood-Adaptive Graph Construction module adaptively builds a causal graph for each point in the embedding space via nearest neighbor search. Subsequently, a Spatio-Temporal Dynamic Propagation module iteratively updates information on these adaptive causal graphs by generating messages and computing interaction weights based on the relative spatio-temporal positions between points. Finally, a Query Point-based Prediction module generates the final forecast by aggregating neighborhood information for a new query point and performing regression. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that ASTGI outperforms various state-of-the-art methods.
