Enhancing In-context Panoramic Generation via Geometric-aware Pretraining

In this work, we present Canvas360, a two-stage framework for in-context panoramic generation that combines geometry-aware pretraining with downstream task-specific fine-tuning. To address the lack of large-scale, high-quality training data tailored to in-context panoramic tasks, we propose Canvas360Dataset, a collection of 1M high-quality paired panoramic samples for style transfer, inpainting, outpainting, and editing, enabling effective supervision across diverse in-context generation scenarios. On the modeling side, Canvas360 enhances text-to-panorama generation through parallel depth generation, velocity circular padding, and similarity loss regularization, enabling the model to learn geometry-aware representations, capture object distortion details, and improve geometric consistency and global coherence. Authors: Haoran Feng, Ruiyang Zhang, Longyi Zhang.

SLORR: Simple and Efficient In-Training Low-Rank Regularization

Low-rank factorization is widely used to compress neural networks, but modern models are often not naturally amenable to aggressive factorization without significant accuracy loss. Existing training-time low-rank regularizers can improve compressibility, but they often require SVDs of large weight matrices, modify the model architecture (introducing additional trainable parameters), or rely on stateful cached quantities. To address these limitations, we introduce SLORR, a simple, stateless, and architecture-preserving framework for in-training low-rank regularization, instantiated with two main variants based on the Hoyer sparsity metric and the nuclear norm. Authors: David González-Martínez, Shiwei Liu.

ZipDepth: Bringing Lightweight Zero-Shot Monocular Depth Anywhere, on Any Device

Monocular depth estimation has seen remarkable progress through foundation models achieving robust zero-shot generalization, yet their computational demands place them far beyond the reach of embedded and mobile platforms. Lightweight alternatives exist, but have been developed almost exclusively within single-domain, self-supervised paradigms, failing silently under domain shift. We present ZipDepth, a compact monocular depth network that bridges this gap by combining an efficient reparameterizable encoder-decoder with large-scale knowledge distillation from a foundation model over a large multi-domain training set. Authors: Fabio Tosi, Luca Bartolomei, Matteo Poggi.

Workflow as Knowledge: Semantic Persistence for LLM-Mediated Workflows

Large language model (LLM) applications increasingly use explicit workflows for tool use, retrieval, branching, checkpointing, and human approval. Existing workflow systems already address many execution concerns. This paper proposes a Lisp-inspired but language-independent conceptual model: symbolic forms, object identity, and live-image thinking are used as explanatory lenses, not implementation commitments.

UniClawBench: A Universal Benchmark for Proactive Agents on Real-World Tasks

The rapid development of large language models and multimodal large language models has accelerated the emergence of proactive agents capable of operating everyday tools and assisting users in real-world environments. However, existing benchmarks struggle to evaluate such agents effectively, as they often rely on sandboxed environments and single-turn evaluation paradigms. Moreover, their scenario-based task taxonomies mix multiple model capabilities within the same task category, making it difficult to identify the root causes of agent failures.

SolarChain-Eval: A Physics-Constrained Benchmark for Trustworthy Economic Agents in Decentralized Energy Markets

As agentic AI systems are increasingly applied to cyber-physical environments, their evaluation requires assessment of both task performance and trustworthiness. In decentralized energy markets, autonomous agents may improve market utility, but may also exploit invalid physical data, create artificial liquidity, and produce unstable governance decisions. Therefore, we propose SolarChain-Eval, a physics-constrained benchmark for evaluating trustworthy economic agents. Authors: Shilin Ou, Yifan Xu, Luyao Zhang.

Rapid advancements in video diffusion models and temporal editing tools have enabled the generation of highly realistic human-centric videos, posing unprecedented challenges to digital content forensics.

WebSwarm: Recursive Multi-Agent Orchestration for Deep-and-Wide Web Search

Large language model (LLM)-based web search agents are transforming information seeking from simple factoid question answering into complex, deep-and-wide search and research-oriented tasks. A single ReAct-style agent is constrained by one long trajectory and limited context, making it difficult to handle depth and coverage simultaneously. Existing multi-agent systems improve search coverage through parallel execution and aggregation, but still exhibit clear limitations in recursive depth, collaboration adaptability, and evidence-grounded expansion.

Sculptable Mesh Structures for Room-Scale Form-Finding

It can be hard to design a physical structure entirely within the confines of a computer monitor. To better capture the interplay between real-world objects and a designer's work-in-progress, practitioners will often go through a sequence of low-fidelity prototypes (paper, clay, foam) before arriving at a form that satisfies both functional and aesthetic concerns. While necessary, this model-making process can be quite time-consuming, particularly at larger scales, and the resulting geometry can be difficult to translate into a CAD environment, where it will be further refined. Authors: Jesse T. Gonzalez, Yanzhen Zhang, Dian Zhu.

Robust Dynamic Operating Envelopes in Unbalanced Three-Phase Distribution Systems

This paper proposes a robust optimization formulation to calculate dynamic operating envelopes (DOEs) to safely operate unbalanced three-phase distribution systems. Unlike conventional formulations that satisfy network constraints only at the envelope bound, the robust formulation covers the entire envelope range. We formulate a robust non-linear programming (NLP) problem with the full AC power flow equations, as well as an approximate linear programming (LP) model.

ARDY: Autoregressive Diffusion with Hybrid Representation for Interactive Human Motion Generation

Generating realistic 3D human motions in real-time within interactive applications is key for animation, simulation, and humanoid robotics. While recent offline motion generation approaches offer precise control via text and kinematic constraints, they lack the inference speed required for interactive settings. Conversely, existing online methods enable real-time synthesis but often sacrifice controllability or struggle with complex text semantics and long-horizon goals due to limited context windows.

ContactMimic: Humanoid Object Interaction via Contact Control

Keypoint tracking alone is insufficient for object interaction tasks such as sitting on a chair, wiping a board, or pushing furniture, where the robot can reach the correct pose without making meaningful physical contact with the object. We present CONTACTMIMIC, a learning framework that tracks explicit partlevel binary contact commands alongside keypoint trajectories. CONTACTMIMIC is made possible through the use of contact-following rewards and a trajectory augmentation scheme aimed at breaking the correlations between keypoint trajectories and contact labels. Authors: Xinyao Li, Xialin He, Runpei Dong.

QBE 1.3: metaprogramming, performance, and cross-platform support

QBE, a compact compiler backend developed by Quentin Carbonneaux, is a lightweight alternative to larger compiler backends such as LLVM and GCC. Designed to be small enough for a single developer to understand, QBE uses a static single-assignment (SSA) intermediate representation (IR), supports the C ABI, and serves as the backend for projects such as Hare and the cproc C11 compiler. Frontends emit the textual form of QBE's IR directly; QBE then takes care of register allocation, optimization, and native-code generation, producing assembly for the target architecture.

Secure Decentralized Federated Learning via Gossip and Virtual Voting

Decentralized federated learning (DFL) removes the central server by letting nodes exchange model updates through peer-to-peer gossip, but existing gossip-based methods often lack provenance finality and resilience to Byzantine or lazy participants. Ledger-assisted federated learning (FL) improves auditability, yet blockchains, shards, or settlement committees can reintroduce global coordination costs that conflict with DFL locality. This paper proposes gspDAG-FL, a secure DFL framework that derives consensus from the same gossip history used to disseminate models. Authors: Amirhossein Taherpour, Xiaodong Wang.
