AgentVLN: Towards Agentic Vision-and-Language Navigation

Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) requires an embodied agent to ground complex natural-language instructions into long-horizon navigation in unseen environments. While Vision-Language Models (VLMs) offer strong 2D semantic understanding, current VLN systems remain constrained by limited spatial perception, 2D-3D representation mismatch, and monocular scale ambiguity. In this paper, we propose AgentVLN, a novel and efficient embodied navigation framework that can be deployed on edge computing platforms. We formulate VLN as a Partially Observable Semi-Markov Decision Process (POSMDP) and introduce a VLM-as-Brain paradigm that decouples high-level semantic reasoning from perception and planning via a plug-and-play skill library. To resolve multi-level representation inconsistency, we design a cross-space representation mapping that projects perception-layer 3D topological waypoints into the image plane, yielding pixel-aligned visual prompts for the VLM. Building on this bridge, we integrate a context-aware self-correction and active exploration strategy to recover from occlusions and suppress error accumulation over long trajectories. To further address the spatial ambiguity of instructions in unstructured environments, we propose a Query-Driven Perceptual Chain-of-Thought (QD-PCoT) scheme, enabling the agent with the metacognitive ability to actively seek geometric depth information. Finally, we construct AgentVLN-Instruct, a large-scale instruction-tuning dataset with dynamic stage routing conditioned on target visibility. Extensive experiments show that AgentVLN consistently outperforms prior state-of-the-art methods (SOTA) on long-horizon VLN benchmarks, offering a practical paradigm for lightweight deployment of next-generation embodied navigation models.

Molecular Identifier Visual Prompt and Verifiable Reinforcement Learning for Chemical Reaction Diagram Parsing

Reaction diagram parsing (RxnDP) is critical for extracting chemical synthesis information from literature. Although recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm to automate this complex visual reasoning task, their application is fundamentally bottlenecked by the inability to align visual chemical entities with pre-trained knowledge, alongside the inherent discrepancy between token-level training and reaction-level evaluation. To address these dual challenges, this work enhances VLM-based RxnDP from two complementary perspectives: prompting representation and learning paradigms. First, we propose Identifier as Visual Prompting (IdtVP), which leverages naturally occurring molecule identifiers (e.g., bold numerals like 1a) to activate the chemical knowledge acquired during VLM pre-training. IdtVP enables powerful zero-shot and out-of-distribution capabilities, outperforming existing prompting strategies. Second, to further optimize performance within fine-tuning paradigms, we introduce Re3-DAPO, a reinforcement learning algorithm that leverages verifiable rewards to directly optimize reaction-level metrics, thereby achieving consistent gains over standard supervised fine-tuning. Additionally, we release the ScannedRxn benchmark, comprising scanned historical reaction diagrams with real-world artifacts, to rigorously assess model robustness and out-of-distribution ability. Our contributions advance the accuracy and generalization of VLM-based reaction diagram parsing. We will release data, models, and code on GitHub.

DecoVLN: Decoupling Observation, Reasoning, and Correction for Vision-and-Language Navigation

Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) requires agents to follow long-horizon instructions and navigate complex 3D environments. However, existing approaches face two major challenges: constructing an effective long-term memory bank and overcoming the compounding errors problem. To address these issues, we propose DecoVLN, an effective framework designed for robust streaming perception and closed-loop control in long-horizon navigation. First, we formulate long-term memory construction as an optimization problem and introduce adaptive refinement mechanism that selects frames from a historical candidate pool by iteratively optimizing a unified scoring function. This function jointly balances three key criteria: semantic relevance to the instruction, visual diversity from the selected memory, and temporal coverage of the historical trajectory. Second, to alleviate compounding errors, we introduce a state-action pair-level corrective finetuning strategy. By leveraging geodesic distance between states to precisely quantify deviation from the expert trajectory, the agent collects high-quality state-action pairs in the trusted region while filtering out the polluted data with low relevance. This improves both the efficiency and stability of error correction. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of DecoVLN, and we have deployed it in real-world environments.

Mango-GS: Enhancing Spatio-Temporal Consistency in Dynamic Scenes Reconstruction using Multi-Frame Node-Guided 4D Gaussian Splatting

Reconstructing dynamic 3D scenes with photorealistic detail and strong temporal coherence remains a significant challenge. Existing Gaussian splatting approaches for dynamic scene modeling often rely on per-frame optimization, which can overfit to instantaneous states instead of capturing underlying motion dynamics. To address this, we present Mango-GS, a multi-frame, node-guided framework for high-fidelity 4D reconstruction. Mango-GS leverages a temporal Transformer to model motion dependencies within a short window of frames, producing temporally consistent deformations. For efficiency, temporal modeling is confined to a sparse set of control nodes. Each node is represented by a decoupled canonical position and a latent code, providing a stable semantic anchor for motion propagation and preventing correspondence drift under large motion. Our framework is trained end-to-end, enhanced by an input masking strategy and two multi-frame losses to improve robustness. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Mango-GS achieves state-of-the-art reconstruction quality and real-time rendering speed, enabling high-fidelity reconstruction and interactive rendering of dynamic scenes.

World2Mind: Cognition Toolkit for Allocentric Spatial Reasoning in Foundation Models

Achieving robust spatial reasoning remains a fundamental challenge for current Multimodal Foundation Models (MFMs). Existing methods either overfit statistical shortcuts via 3D grounding data or remain confined to 2D visual perception, limiting both spatial reasoning accuracy and generalization in unseen scenarios. Inspired by the spatial cognitive mapping mechanisms of biological intelligence, we propose World2Mind, a training-free spatial intelligence toolkit. At its core, World2Mind leverages 3D reconstruction and instance segmentation models to construct structured spatial cognitive maps, empowering MFMs to proactively acquire targeted spatial knowledge regarding interested landmarks and routes of interest. To provide robust geometric-topological priors, World2Mind synthesizes an Allocentric-Spatial Tree (AST) that uses elliptical parameters to model the top-down layout of landmarks accurately. To mitigate the inherent inaccuracies of 3D reconstruction, we introduce a three-stage reasoning chain comprising tool invocation assessment, modality-decoupled cue collection, and geometry-semantics interwoven reasoning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that World2Mind boosts the performance of frontier models, such as GPT-5.2, by 5%~18%. Astonishingly, relying solely on the AST-structured text, purely text-only foundation models can perform complex 3D spatial reasoning, achieving performance approaching that of advanced multimodal models.

TAP: A Token-Adaptive Predictor Framework for Training-Free Diffusion Acceleration

Diffusion models achieve strong generative performance but remain slow at inference due to the need for repeated full-model denoising passes. We present Token-Adaptive Predictor (TAP), a training-free, probe-driven framework that adaptively selects a predictor for each token at every sampling step. TAP uses a single full evaluation of the model's first layer as a low-cost probe to compute proxy losses for a compact family of candidate predictors (instantiated primarily with Taylor expansions of varying order and horizon), then assigns each token the predictor with the smallest proxy error. This per-token "probe-then-select" strategy exploits heterogeneous temporal dynamics, requires no additional training, and is compatible with various predictor designs. TAP incurs negligible overhead while enabling large speedups with little or no perceptual quality loss. Extensive experiments across multiple diffusion architectures and generation tasks show that TAP substantially improves the accuracy-efficiency frontier compared to fixed global predictors and caching-only baselines.

ShiftLUT: Spatial Shift Enhanced Look-Up Tables for Efficient Image Restoration

Look-Up Table based methods have emerged as a promising direction for efficient image restoration tasks. Recent LUT-based methods focus on improving their performance by expanding the receptive field. However, they inevitably introduce extra computational and storage overhead, which hinders their deployment in edge devices. To address this issue, we propose ShiftLUT, a novel framework that attains the largest receptive field among all LUT-based methods while maintaining high efficiency. Our key insight lies in three complementary components. First, Learnable Spatial Shift module (LSS) is introduced to expand the receptive field by applying learnable, channel-wise spatial offsets on feature maps. Second, we propose an asymmetric dual-branch architecture that allocates more computation to the information-dense branch, substantially reducing inference latency without compromising restoration quality. Finally, we incorporate a feature-level LUT compression strategy called Error-bounded Adaptive Sampling (EAS) to minimize the storage overhead. Compared to the previous state-of-the-art method TinyLUT, ShiftLUT achieves a 3.8$\times$ larger receptive field and improves an average PSNR by over 0.21 dB across multiple standard benchmarks, while maintaining a small storage size and inference time. The code is available at: https://github.com/Sailor-t/ShiftLUT .

AgenticOCR: Parsing Only What You Need for Efficient Retrieval-Augmented Generation

The expansion of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) into multimodal domains has intensified the challenge for processing complex visual documents, such as financial reports. While page-level chunking and retrieval is a natural starting point, it creates a critical bottleneck: delivering entire pages to the generator introduces excessive extraneous context. This not only overloads the generator's attention mechanism but also dilutes the most salient evidence. Moreover, compressing these information-rich pages into a limited visual token budget further increases the risk of hallucinations. To address this, we introduce AgenticOCR, a dynamic parsing paradigm that transforms optical character recognition (OCR) from a static, full-text process into a query-driven, on-demand extraction system. By autonomously analyzing document layout in a "thinking with images" manner, AgenticOCR identifies and selectively recognizes regions of interest. This approach performs on-demand decompression of visual tokens precisely where needed, effectively decoupling retrieval granularity from rigid page-level chunking. AgenticOCR has the potential to serve as the "third building block" of the visual document RAG stack, operating alongside and enhancing standard Embedding and Reranking modules. Experimental results demonstrate that AgenticOCR improves both the efficiency and accuracy of visual RAG systems, achieving expert-level performance in long document understanding. Code and models are available at https://github.com/OpenDataLab/AgenticOCR.

MiroFlow: Towards High-Performance and Robust Open-Source Agent Framework for General Deep Research Tasks

Despite the remarkable progress of large language models (LLMs), the capabilities of standalone LLMs have begun to plateau when tackling real-world, complex tasks that require interaction with external tools and dynamic environments. Although recent agent frameworks aim to enhance model autonomy through tool integration and external interaction, they still suffer from naive workflows, unstable performance, limited support across diverse benchmarks and tasks, and heavy reliance on costly commercial APIs. In this work, we propose a high-performance and robust open-source agent framework, termed MiroFlow, which incorporates an agent graph for flexible orchestration, an optional deep reasoning mode to enhance performance, and a robust workflow execution to ensure stable and reproducible performance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MiroFlow consistently achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple agent benchmarks, including GAIA, BrowseComp-EN/ZH, HLE, xBench-DeepSearch, and notably FutureX. We hope it could serve as an easily accessible, reproducible, and comparable baseline for the deep research community.

MoDora: Tree-Based Semi-Structured Document Analysis System

Semi-structured documents integrate diverse interleaved data elements (e.g., tables, charts, hierarchical paragraphs) arranged in various and often irregular layouts. These documents are widely observed across domains and account for a large portion of real-world data. However, existing methods struggle to support natural language question answering over these documents due to three main technical challenges: (1) The elements extracted by techniques like OCR are often fragmented and stripped of their original semantic context, making them inadequate for analysis. (2) Existing approaches lack effective representations to capture hierarchical structures within documents (e.g., associating tables with nested chapter titles) and to preserve layout-specific distinctions (e.g., differentiating sidebars from main content). (3) Answering questions often requires retrieving and aligning relevant information scattered across multiple regions or pages, such as linking a descriptive paragraph to table cells located elsewhere in the document. To address these issues, we propose MoDora, an LLM-powered system for semi-structured document analysis. First, we adopt a local-alignment aggregation strategy to convert OCR-parsed elements into layout-aware components, and conduct type-specific information extraction for components with hierarchical titles or non-text elements. Second, we design the Component-Correlation Tree (CCTree) to hierarchically organize components, explicitly modeling inter-component relations and layout distinctions through a bottom-up cascade summarization process. Finally, we propose a question-type-aware retrieval strategy that supports (1) layout-based grid partitioning for location-based retrieval and (2) LLM-guided pruning for semantic-based retrieval. Experiments show MoDora outperforms baselines by 5.97%-61.07% in accuracy. The code is at https://github.com/weAIDB/MoDora.
