Long Text to Predictive Features: LLM-Guided Blockwise Feature Engineering via Executable Program Search

Industrial risk-control systems typically rely on structured-data models for efficient prediction, yet substantial valuable information remains embedded in unstructured long text. Extracting this information through manual feature engineering is labor-intensive, while requiring a large language model (LLM) to process every real-time input may not meet practical deployment requirements. To address this challenge, we propose LLM-BlockFE, an LLM-guided offline feature construction framework that converts long text into executable feature programs, thereby avoiding LLM calls during online inference. Authors: Ziming Dai, Dabiao Ma, Ziheng Guo.

Rubric-CEPR: Self-Evolving Image Editing via Reward-Verified Self-Distillation

Instruction-guided image editors have become highly capable, yet improving them further still depends on human-edited training pairs or external reward models. Such supervision is costly to obtain and can reward plausible failures: a realistic output may leave the requested change undone or alter content that should be preserved. In this work, we strive to improve a pretrained image editor using only its own generations, without human-edited targets or an external training-time reward model. Authors: Ritesh Thawkar, Shubham Patle, Shravan Venkatraman.

OuroWorld: Bringing Any 3D World Alive as Diverse, Endlessly Looping 3D Cinemagraphs

Recent 3D world models generate photorealistic, explorable scenes that remain frozen in time. OuroWorld is a mask-free framework that turns any static 3D Gaussian Splatting scene into a 3D cinemagraph: a dynamic scene with vivid, diverse motion looping seamlessly from any viewpoint. A vision-language model infers plausible dynamics and guides a video model to synthesize a reference video, which we lift and complete into multi-view videos. Authors: You-Zhe Xie, Ting-Wei Chou, Yu-Hsuan Li.

Master AI Chip Principles With New IEEE Design Program

" The article examines the rapid growth of edge AI and the challenges it creates, including resource constraints, model architecture limitations, and network demands across edge-AI deployments. The acceleration is driven by a fundamental shift in how modern AI models are built and scaled. As the models have become much larger and more complex, they are computationally more demanding because they contain more parameters and require more calculations.

OneSearch-VL: Unified Multimodal Deep Research Agent for Image and Video

Single-image, multi-image, and video deep research require different visual operations but share a workflow of visual grounding, external retrieval, and fact composition. A key challenge is to preserve the dependencies linking localized visual anchors, entity relations, source-supported facts, and answer-producing operations. We introduce OneSearch-VL, a unified agent centered on the Visually Grounded Evidence Graph (VGEG), which encodes these dependencies as a shared task-level reference for data construction, process supervision, and operation-level evaluation. Authors: Hongyu Li, Manyuan Zhang, Kaituo Feng.

What 30,000 Hours of Ego-centric Video Does Not Teach

World models offer a promising alternative to physics-based simulators, yet remain far from practical deployment. We ask how far scaling ego-centric human video takes them, using a dataset of 30,000 hours spanning over 1,000 scene types and 14,000 contributors. Rather than relying on opaque downstream metrics, we directly evaluate agent and object-interaction fidelity on a challenging out-of-distribution benchmark.

BrickBench: Evaluating Agentic Brick Design

We propose BrickBench, a benchmark for agentic text-conditioned LEGO-set design. Given a prompt, an agent is tasked with producing an assembly that not only satisfies semantic and design criteria, but that can also be physically built. To do so, it must select parts from a discrete library and reason jointly about local and global constraints. Authors: Peter Kulits, Yiqing Xu, R. Kenny Jones.

ORCAGen: Orchestrating Context-Aware Malware Deception with RAG-Guided Generative AI

Malware defenses often remove or isolate suspicious programs as quickly as possible. While effective for containment, this approach can also waste an opportunity to observe attacker behavior and deploy targeted countermeasures. ORCAGen takes a different approach: it uses GenAI to build malware-specific deception playbooks offline, validates them before deployment, and enforces only the verified logic at runtime.

Improved Local Leakage Resilience of Shamir Secret Sharing and Worst-Case Optimal Polynomial Intersection

We study two problems: Local Leakage Resilience (LLR) for Shamir secret sharing, and worst-case Optimal Polynomial Intersection (OPI). Both problems concern polynomials Q(X) of degree less than k, over a prime-order finite field \mathbbF_p. In LLR for Shamir secret sharing, one asks how much one can learn about Q(0) given a few bits leaked from each of Q(α_1), \ldots, Q(α_n), for distinct non-zero evaluation points α_i \in \mathbbF_p. Authors: Yihang Sun, Mary Wootters.

Roughened Optical Fibers Turn Soft Sheets of Silicone Into Three-Dimensional Shape Sensors

Researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have detailed a soft, conformable sheet capable of tracking shape and movement as it bends and twists — targeting wearables for healthcare and more. "In physical therapy, you often need to gather patient data on how they are moving and stretching their arm during rehabilitation," explains first author Qufan Yu of the team's work. "Surface shape sensing could be very useful in that way.

VersaCamVLA: Camera-Configurable VLA Policies for Robotic Manipulation

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as powerful foundations for robotic manipulation, but their reliance on fixed camera configurations during training makes them brittle to changes in camera count or pose during deployment. To overcome these limitations, we propose VersaCamVLA, a camera-configurable framework that decouples camera-set representation from action learning. VersaCamVLA learns a unified scene-token interface that maps an arbitrary, variable set of posed RGB views into fixed-size latent scene tokens. Authors: Boyao Han, Chen Shi, Jingjing Qian.

DreamTrue: Action-Faithful Robot World Model with Counterfactual Post-Training

We present DreamTrue, a multi-view, cross-embodiment robot world model for action-faithful and physically plausible video prediction. Training such a model on existing robot datasets faces two obstacles: imprecise calibration can impair action following, while limited coverage of unsuccessful interactions can bias predictions toward successful outcomes. To improve action following across embodiments, we render action trajectories into image-space conditions and introduce offline geometric calibration to align these conditions with the target videos.

SpatialHarness: Test-Time Spatial Scaffolding for Fine Robotic Manipulation

, GPT-6 Astra) have recently shown strong potential for direct robotic control, yet their performance on fine manipulation remains limited. We argue that an important source of failure is not necessarily insufficient policy capability, but insufficient spatial observability, where task-critical spatial relationships may be poorly revealed by the existing physical camera setup. We introduce SpatialHarness, a test-time embodied harness that provides test-time spatial scaffolding for fine robotic manipulation without policy fine-tuning or changes to the physical sensing setup.

Mole: Tier-Specific Hotness Profiling Driven Memory Tiering for Multi-Tiered Memory Systems

Multi-tiered memory systems combine fast, small upper tiers with slow, large lower tiers to improve performance and cost efficiency. Existing designs, such as AutoTiering and MTM, rely on greedy promotion and stepwise demotion, which can intensify contention for limited capacity in faster tiers. We observe that promotions directly improve performance, whereas demotions primarily reclaim space. Authors: Mingyang Liu, Congming Gao, Xufeng Yang.

Federated Zeroth-Order Optimization with Direction Aggregation and Variance Reduction

We study constrained nonsmooth nonconvex stochastic optimization in federated settings, where clients access only stochastic function evaluations. Existing federated zeroth-order methods primarily combine local zeroth-order updates with model averaging. However, they struggle with client drift induced by local projected updates and sampling variance in stochastic zeroth-order estimates. Authors: Qianlong Dang, Baosheng Li.
