Large Language Model for Operations Research Formulation Selection in Multi-Warehouse Inventory Allocation

Multi-warehouse inventory allocation is typically formulated as a mixed-integer programming (MIP) problem, yet no single formulation consistently matches heterogeneous instance-level regimes induced by demand concentration, inventory imbalance, replenishment scale, service constraints, and forecast volatility. We study this issue as instance-wise operations research (OR) formulation selection, where each allocation instance is assigned to a solver-executable formulation from a candidate OR expert library. We propose a solver-guided large language model (LLM) framework for OR formulation selection, in which each OR expert corresponds to a MIP formulation encoding a distinct allocation priority. Authors: Jintao Xu, Yingzheng Ma, Jiong Dong.

Empirical Evaluation of Out-Of-Distribution Performance of Tabular Foundation Models

Tabular Foundation Models (TFMs) have emerged as novel approaches for tabular predictive tasks, demonstrating competitive predictive performance to ensemble tree-based models. Most TFMs are trained and evaluated on independent and identically distributed data, but this assumption changes in real-world scenarios due to distribution shifts, which compromise the robustness of models. Limited research has been conducted of TFMs under distribution shifts. Authors: Malena Loza, David Chushig-Muzo, Eva Milara.

ClinFusion: A Vision-Centric Multimodal LLM System for Holistic Medical Understanding

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) hold immense potential to revolutionize clinical practice, yet deploying them in the medical domain is fundamentally a vision-centric challenge: models must absorb knowledge from heterogeneous 2D and 3D medical images, and evaluation protocols must align with radiologists' clinical practice and provide an accurate, fine-grained and factualness-driven assessment. In this paper, we introduce ClinFusion, a vision-centric MLLM designed for holistic medical understanding that systematically addresses these limitations. We propose a compositional and cascaded vision encoder architecture featuring a Cascade Spatial-Aware Locality Fusion operator that unifies diverse 2D and native 3D medical image understanding within a fused encoder.

SpecFirst: Behavioral Specification Elicitation as a First-Class Step in Agent-Based Program Synthesis from Scratch

LLM-based agents excel at software engineering tasks where an existing codebase provides context, but constructing a program from scratch remains fundamentally harder. Recent benchmarks such as ProgramBench quantify this gap: given only natural-language documentation and an execute-only binary as a behavioral oracle, even frontier models solve fewer than 1% of instances. Existing frameworks conflate documentation reading, behavioral exploration, and code synthesis into a single pass, causing agents to probe insufficiently, lose behavioral intent as context drifts, and propagate early misinterpretations into the final implementation. Authors: Yihao Chen, Shi Chang, Feng Lin.

MindForge: Teaching Small Language Models Whole-Life-Cycle Software Engineering via Source-Free Program Synthesis

Coding agents have made substantial progress on software engineering tasks that modify existing codebases, including bug fixing and feature implementation. However, constructing a complete program from scratch remains a major challenge: even the frontier models evaluated on ProgramBench fully resolve fewer than 1% of tasks. One obstacle is the lack of scalable training environments for this from-scratch setting, spanning the whole software engineering life cycle, as existing environment-construction frameworks focus only on a single phase in software development.

Can AI agents conduct open-ended AI research? Early evidence from two case studies

Forecasts of explosive AI progress hinge on AI agents automating AI research. But evidence on whether agents can carry out open-ended AI research is thin. Current evaluations either test agents on narrow, verifiable tasks, which excludes open-ended research, or submit AI-generated papers to blind peer review, which is overstretched, stochastic, and suffers from poor review quality.

Mental World Modeling

World models enable a predictive substrate for planning and action, yet existing formulations merely answer a physical question: what/where it is, and how will it evolve. Human behavior, however, is driven by hidden mental state (what a person believes, wants, intends, feels, and considers socially permissible), so a model that tracks the physical scene but not what each agent knows and believes about it predicts the wrong action for the right-looking scene. We formulate Mental World Modeling (MWM), a generic theoretical framework that makes mental variables core components of a world model rather than posthoc rationales: MWM aintains a coupled physical-mental world state, renders a target-specific partial observation, and simulates how candidate actions jointly update both components. Authors: Hao Fei, Yiran Zhao.

TactiPlay: Multi-Granularity Tactical Parsing and Video-Anchored Match Review for Amateur Badminton Players

Amateur badminton players increasingly record matches, yet existing tools provide only aggregate statistics or generic summaries, leaving most unable to extract tactical insights without expert guidance. A formative study (N=8) reveals the need for multi-granularity, video-anchored tactical analysis centered on rallies. We derive a taxonomy of performance issues from national-level athletes' annotations and present TactiPlay, an interactive system that instantiates an expert-taxonomy-guided, rally-level, video-anchored review workflow.

GraphQAG: A Knowledge-Graph-Guided Visual Analytics Framework for Question-Answer Pairs Generation

Question-answer (QA) pairs are widely used in knowledge base construction, question-answering systems, and the post-training of large language models (LLMs). However, important knowledge in long documents is often distributed across multiple paragraphs and connected through complex entity relationships. Such fragmented and relational knowledge poses substantial challenges for existing QA generation methods, which often fail to adequately cover core document content, cross-paragraph semantic connections, and multi-entity relationships.

LLM4OSC: Profile-Bound Natural Language Control with Deterministic Validation for Open Sound Control

Open Sound Control (OSC) is the dominant wire protocol for real-time parametric control in professional audio, live performance, and virtual production. Large language models can emit plausible OSC, but they hallucinate addresses, mishandle type tags, and fail under paraphrase- unacceptable in show-critical contexts. We present LLM4OSC, a local-first architecture in which models propose structured intent JSON over a human-reviewed device profile, and deterministic code validates, clamps, and encodes before any UDP send.

Many types of data exist naturally as curves, such as trajectory data or 1D density curves. We shall primarily be interested in the local model setting, where the function to be privatized captures data belonging to one individual, which is the more challenging setting with limited prior work.

Designing Within the Lines: Practitioners' Perspectives and Visualisation Tool Evaluation in the Arabic Context

Design guidelines and best practices serve as references that support designers throughout the visualisation design process. While considerable effort has identified the elements that contribute to effective data visualisations, little attention has been paid to how language (scripts and reading direction), tool support, and cultural context also shape design decisions. As a result, assumptions of homogeneity persist, with visualisation practices predominantly benefiting users of English and left-to-right (LTR) scripts while overlooking the needs of over two billion Arabic script users.

TurboVLA: Real-Time Vision-Language-Action Model at 32 Hz on an RTX 4090 with <1 GB VRAM

Vision-language-action (VLA) models commonly adopt an LLM-centric V \to L \to A pathway, where visual observations are projected into the representation space of a large language model before being decoded into robot actions. Although effective, this design incurs substantial computation and memory overhead at every policy invocation. In this work, we introduce TurboVLA, a new VLA paradigm that reformulates the conventional V \to L \to A pathway as a direct V + L \to A mapping. Authors: Hengyi Xie, Chenfei Yao, Xianjin Wu.

VidMap: Exploiting Temporal Structure for Video-Based Structure-from-Motion

Accurately recovering the camera's calibration and metric poses for any unconstrained video would unlock large-scale training data for navigation and scene understanding. The dominant approaches to this problem are severely limited: Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is sensitive to initialization and transient failures due to its causal, incremental nature; it is often over-optimized for real-time operation and generally requires known camera calibration; while Structure-from-Motion (SfM) typically forgoes any image ordering, enabling optimal initialization and global optimization, but lacks robustness to visual symmetries and extreme motions. To bridge this gap, we introduce a system that combines the strong sequential constraints of SLAM with the flexibility and global optimization of offline SfM, enabling the metric reconstruction of arbitrary, long, uncalibrated videos. Authors: Zador Pataki, Paul-Edouard Sarlin, Marc Pollefeys.

Denial of Deadline: Network-Driven Accuracy Collapse in Distributed Inference Pipelines

Inference systems increasingly combine a fast path that returns predictions within the application's latency deadline together with a higher-accuracy slow path that runs higher-compute methods on stronger, remote hardware, so its results can be returned on time and combined with the fast path predictions. Across several application domains, we abstract this inference architecture as a fast path, a slow path, and a coordination layer with two functions: a router that invokes the slow path and a merger that decides whether to incorporate its returned predictions., Yo-Yo bursts, can exploit contention at shared resources along the slow path to push benign users' slow-path predictions past their latency deadlines.

A Type-and-Effect System for Temporal Dependency Analysis of Render-based Reactive Programs

Reactive programming frameworks such as React allow developers to build interactive applications by declaratively specifying how outputs depend on changing inputs. Although this model makes it easy to reason about what an application computes, the temporal behavior of reactive programs remains difficult to understand and verify. Applications implicitly rely on timing assumptions buried in framework runtimes, leading to subtle bugs such as stale reads, transient inconsistencies, order-dependent behavior, and unintended feedback cycles.
