ProSPy: A Profiling-Driven SQL-Python Agentic Framework for Enterprise Text-to-SQL

Large language models have substantially advanced Text-to-SQL systems, yet applying them to enterprise-scale databases remains challenging. Real-world databases often contain large and heterogeneous schemas, incomplete metadata, dialect-specific SQL syntax, and complex analytical questions that are difficult to solve with a single SQL query. To address these challenges, we propose ProSPy, a Profiling-driven SQL--Python agentic framework for enterprise-scale Text-to-SQL. ProSPy structures the reasoning process into four stages: it first extracts fine-grained data evidence through automatic profiling, progressively prunes large schemas into task-relevant contexts, fetches intermediate views through a dialect-agnostic SQL interface, and finally performs flexible downstream analysis with Python. This design combines the efficiency of SQL over large databases with the flexibility of Python-based analysis, while reducing reliance on unreliable metadata and improving robustness across SQL dialects. Experiments on Spider 2.0-Lite and Spider 2.0-Snow show that ProSPy consistently outperforms strong baselines with both open-source and proprietary models, achieving execution accuracies of 60.15% and 60.51% with Claude-4.5-Opus, without majority voting. Further analysis shows that ProSPy is robust to SQL dialect variations and achieves a favorable trade-off between schema recall and precision.

EviLink: Multi-Path Schema Linking with Uncertainty-Guided Evidence Acquisition for Large-Scale Text-to-SQL

Schema linking is a difficult and important step in large-scale Text-to-SQL, where systems must identify a compact yet sufficient schema context from large and ambiguous databases. Existing methods often treat schema linking as deterministic selection around a single SQL path, but complex questions may admit multiple valid realizations with different schema needs. We reframe schema linking as uncertainty-aware schema-need inference over multiple plausible SQL paths, where the system distinguishes required schema items from path-dependent uncertain ones and acquires evidence only where needed. We instantiate this reframing with EviLink, which combines multi-hypothesis schema grounding with uncertainty-guided evidence acquisition. Experiments on BIRD-Dev and Spider2-Snow show that this perspective improves the balance among schema completeness, schema relevance, and token cost. On Spider2-Snow, EviLink achieves 90.15% field-level strict recall rate, uses 123.30K average tokens, and improves downstream SQL generation under a fixed generator.

ShredBench: Evaluating the Semantic Reasoning Capabilities of Multimodal LLMs in Document Reconstruction

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable performance in Visually Rich Document Understanding (VRDU) tasks, but their capabilities are mainly evaluated on pristine, well-structured document images. We consider content restoration from shredded fragments, a challenging VRDU setting that requires integrating visual pattern recognition with semantic reasoning under significant content discontinuities. To facilitate systematic evaluation of complex VRDU tasks, we introduce ShredBench, a benchmark supported by an automated generation pipeline that renders fragmented documents directly from Markdown. The proposed pipeline ensures evaluation validity by allowing the flexible integration of latest or unseen textual sources to prevent training data contamination. ShredBench assesses four scenarios (English, Chinese, Code, Table) with three fragmentation granularities (8, 12, 16 pieces). Empirical evaluations on state-of-the-art MLLMs reveal a significant performance gap: The method is effective on intact documents; however, once the document is shredded, restoration becomes a significant challenge, with NED dropping sharply as fragmentation increases. Our findings highlight that current MLLMs lack the fine-grained cross-modal reasoning required to bridge visual discontinuities, identifying a critical gap in robust VRDU research.

GlimpRouter: Efficient Collaborative Inference by Glimpsing One Token of Thoughts

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) achieve remarkable performance by explicitly generating multi-step chains of thought, but this capability incurs substantial inference latency and computational cost. Collaborative inference offers a promising solution by selectively allocating work between lightweight and large models, yet a fundamental challenge remains: determining when a reasoning step requires the capacity of a large model or the efficiency of a small model. Existing routing strategies either rely on local token probabilities or post-hoc verification, introducing significant inference overhead. In this work, we propose a novel perspective on step-wise collaboration: the difficulty of a reasoning step can be inferred from its very first token. Inspired by the "Aha Moment" phenomenon in LRMs, we show that the entropy of the initial token serves as a strong predictor of step difficulty. Building on this insight, we introduce GlimpRouter, a training-free step-wise collaboration framework. GlimpRouter employs a lightweight model to generate only the first token of each reasoning step and routes the step to a larger model only when the initial token entropy exceeds a threshold. Experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that our approach significantly reduces inference latency while preserving accuracy. For instance, GlimpRouter attains a substantial 10.7% improvement in accuracy while reducing inference latency by 25.9% compared to a standalone large model on AIME25. These results suggest a simple yet effective mechanism for reasoning: allocating computation based on a glimpse of thought rather than full-step evaluation.

In Line with Context: Repository-Level Code Generation via Context Inlining

Repository-level code generation has attracted growing attention in recent years. Unlike function-level code generation, it requires the model to understand the entire repository, reasoning over complex dependencies across functions, classes, and modules. However, existing approaches such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) or context-based function selection often fall short: they primarily rely on surface-level similarity and struggle to capture the rich dependencies that govern repository-level semantics. In this paper, we introduce InlineCoder, a novel framework for repository-level code generation. InlineCoder enhances the understanding of repository context by inlining the unfinished function into its call graph, thereby reframing the challenging repository understanding as an easier function-level coding task. Given a function signature, InlineCoder first generates a draft completion, termed an anchor, which approximates downstream dependencies and enables perplexity-based confidence estimation. This anchor drives a bidirectional inlining process: (i) Upstream Inlining, which embeds the anchor into its callers to capture diverse usage scenarios; and (ii) Downstream Retrieval, which integrates the anchor's callees into the prompt to provide precise dependency context. The enriched context, combining draft completion with upstream and downstream perspectives, equips the LLM with a comprehensive repository view.

6D Channel Knowledge Map Construction via Bidirectional Wireless Gaussian Splatting

This paper investigates the construction of channel knowledge map (CKM) from sparse channel measurements. Dif ferent from conventional two-/three-dimensional (2D/3D) CKM approaches assuming fixed base station configurations, we present a six-dimensional (6D) CKM framework named bidirectional wireless Gaussian splatting (BiWGS), which is capable of mod eling wireless channels across dynamic transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) positions in 3D space. BiWGS uses Gaussian el lipsoids to represent virtual scatterer clusters and environmental obstacles in the wireless environment. By properly learning the bidirectional scattering patterns and complex attenuation profiles based on channel measurements, these ellipsoids inherently cap ture the electromagnetic transmission characteristics of wireless environments, thereby accurately modeling signal transmission under varying transceiver configurations. Experiment results show that BiWGS significantly outperforms classic multi-layer perception (MLP) for the construction of 6D channel power gain map with varying Tx-Rx positions, and achieves spatial spectrum prediction accuracy comparable to the state-of-the art wireless radiation field Gaussian splatting (WRF-GS) for 3D CKM construction. This validates the capability of the proposed BiWGS in accomplishing dimensional expansion of 6D CKM construction, without compromising fidelity.

Robust Multimodal Learning for Ophthalmic Disease Grading via Disentangled Representation

This paper discusses how ophthalmologists often rely on multimodal data to improve diagnostic accuracy. However, complete multimodal data is rare in real-world applications due to a lack of medical equipment and concerns about data privacy. Traditional deep learning methods typically address these issues by learning representations in latent space. However, the paper highlights two key limitations of these approaches: (i) Task-irrelevant redundant information (e.g., numerous slices) in complex modalities leads to significant redundancy in latent space representations. (ii) Overlapping multimodal representations make it difficult to extract unique features for each modality. To overcome these challenges, the authors propose the Essence-Point and Disentangle Representation Learning (EDRL) strategy, which integrates a self-distillation mechanism into an end-to-end framework to enhance feature selection and disentanglement for more robust multimodal learning. Specifically, the Essence-Point Representation Learning module selects discriminative features that improve disease grading performance. The Disentangled Representation Learning module separates multimodal data into modality-common and modality-unique representations, reducing feature entanglement and enhancing both robustness and interpretability in ophthalmic disease diagnosis. Experiments on multimodal ophthalmology datasets show that the proposed EDRL strategy significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art methods.

Facial Identity Anonymization via Intrinsic and Extrinsic Attention Distraction

The unprecedented capture and application of face images raise increasing concerns on anonymization to fight against privacy disclosure. Most existing methods may suffer from the problem of excessive change of the identity-independent information or insufficient identity protection. In this paper, we present a new face anonymization approach by distracting the intrinsic and extrinsic identity attentions. On the one hand, we anonymize the identity information in the feature space by distracting the intrinsic identity attention. On the other, we anonymize the visual clues (i.e. appearance and geometry structure) by distracting the extrinsic identity attention. Our approach allows for flexible and intuitive manipulation of face appearance and geometry structure to produce diverse results, and it can also be used to instruct users to perform personalized anonymization. We conduct extensive experiments on multiple datasets and demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

Joint Angle and Delay Cramér-Rao Bound Optimization for Integrated Sensing and Communications

In this paper, we study a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) beamforming design in an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, in which an ISAC base station (BS) is used to communicate with multiple downlink users and simultaneously the communication signals are reused for sensing multiple targets. Our interested sensing parameters are the angle and delay information of the targets, which can be used to locate these targets. Under this consideration, we first derive the Cram\'{e}r-Rao bound (CRB) for angle and delay estimation. Then, we optimize the transmit beamforming at the BS to minimize the CRB, subject to communication rate and power constraints. In particular, we obtain the optimal solution in closed-form in the case of single-target and single-user, and in the case of multi-target and multi-user scenario, the sparsity of the optimal solution is proven, leading to a reduction in computational complexity during optimization. The numerical results demonstrate that the optimized beamforming yields excellent positioning performance and effectively reduces the requirement for a large number of antennas at the BS.

An interpretable deep learning method for bearing fault diagnosis

Deep learning (DL) has gained popularity in recent years as an effective tool for classifying the current health and predicting the future of industrial equipment. However, most DL models have black-box components with an underlying structure that is too complex to be interpreted and explained to human users. This presents significant challenges when deploying these models for safety-critical maintenance tasks, where non-technical personnel often need to have complete trust in the recommendations these models give. To address these challenges, we utilize a convolutional neural network (CNN) with Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) activation map visualizations to form an interpretable DL method for classifying bearing faults. After the model training process, we apply Grad-CAM to identify a training sample's feature importance and to form a library of diagnosis knowledge (or health library) containing training samples with annotated feature maps. During the model evaluation process, the proposed approach retrieves prediction basis samples from the health library according to the similarity of the feature importance. The proposed method can be easily applied to any CNN model without modifying the model architecture, and our experimental results show that this method can select prediction basis samples that are intuitively and physically meaningful, improving the model's trustworthiness for human users.
