TS-Attn: Temporal-wise Separable Attention for Multi-Event Video Generation

Generating high-quality videos from complex temporal descriptions that contain multiple sequential actions is a key unsolved problem. Existing methods are constrained by an inherent trade-off: using multiple short prompts fed sequentially into the model improves action fidelity but compromises temporal consistency, while a single complex prompt preserves consistency at the cost of prompt-following capability. We attribute this problem to two primary causes: 1) temporal misalignment between video content and the prompt, and 2) conflicting attention coupling between motion-related visual objects and their associated text conditions. To address these challenges, we propose a novel, training-free attention mechanism, Temporal-wise Separable Attention (TS-Attn), which dynamically rearranges attention distribution to ensure temporal awareness and global coherence in multi-event scenarios. TS-Attn can be seamlessly integrated into various pre-trained text-to-video models, boosting StoryEval-Bench scores by 33.5% and 16.4% on Wan2.1-T2V-14B and Wan2.2-T2V-A14B with only a 2% increase in inference time. It also supports plug-and-play usage across models for multi-event image-to-video generation. The source code and project page are available at https://github.com/Hong-yu-Zhang/TS-Attn.

DeepGuard: Secure Code Generation via Multi-Layer Semantic Aggregation

Large Language Models (LLMs) for code generation can replicate insecure patterns from their training data. To mitigate this, a common strategy for security hardening is to fine-tune models using supervision derived from the final transformer layer. However, this design may suffer from a final-layer bottleneck: vulnerability-discriminative cues can be distributed across layers and become less detectable near the output representations optimized for next-token prediction. To diagnose this issue, we perform layer-wise linear probing. We observe that vulnerability-related signals are most detectable in a band of intermediate-to-upper layers yet attenuate toward the final layers. Motivated by this observation, we introduce DeepGuard, a framework that leverages distributed security-relevant cues by aggregating representations from multiple upper layers via an attention-based module. The aggregated signal powers a dedicated security analyzer within a multi-objective training objective that balances security enhancement and functional correctness, and further supports a lightweight inference-time steering strategy. Extensive experiments across five code LLMs demonstrate that DeepGuard improves the secure-and-correct generation rate by an average of 11.9% over strong baselines such as SVEN. It also preserves functional correctness while exhibiting generalization to held-out vulnerability types. Our code is public at https://github.com/unknownhl/DeepGuard.

Toward Executable Repository-Level Code Generation via Environment Alignment

Large language models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance on code generation, but existing methods still struggle with repository-level code generation under executable validation. Under this evaluation setting, success is determined not by the plausibility of isolated code fragments, but by whether a generated multi-file repository can be successfully installed, have its dependencies and internal references resolved, be launched, and be validated in a real execution environment. To address this challenge, we propose EnvGraph, a framework for repository-level code generation that formulates repository executability as an environment alignment problem. EnvGraph jointly models two coupled conditions for successful repository execution, namely external dependency satisfaction and repository-internal reference resolution. It maintains a dual-layer environment representation, uses execution evidence to perform execution-evidence-based attribution, and guides repository generation through a unified targeted revision mechanism within an iterative alignment loop. We evaluate EnvGraph on repository-level code generation with three representative backbone LLMs and compare it against representative environment-aware and repository-level baselines. Experimental results show that EnvGraph consistently achieves the best performance on these repository-level benchmarks. In particular, it outperforms the strongest non-EnvGraph baseline by an absolute margin of 5.72--5.87 percentage points in Functional Correctness and 4.58--8.66 percentage points in Non-Functional Quality.

Persistent Cross-Attempt State Optimization for Repository-Level Code Generation

Large language models (LLMs) have achieved substantial progress in repository-level code generation. However, solving the same repository-level task often requires multiple attempts, while existing methods still optimize each attempt in isolation and do not preserve or reuse task-specific state across attempts. In this paper, we propose LiveCoder, a novel framework for repository-level code generation based on cross-attempt knowledge optimization. LiveCoder maintains persistent task-specific state from prior attempts to guide subsequent generation. This state includes success knowledge, which captures reusable signals from previously strong repositories, failure knowledge, which records unsuccessful outcomes and their diagnostic signals, and a historical-best repository, which preserves the strongest result found so far and prevents regression. These components collectively transform repeated repository generation into a persistent, knowledge-driven optimization process. We evaluate LiveCoder using four frontier LLMs on two representative repository-level code generation benchmarks. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of LiveCoder, improving the functional score by up to 22.94 percentage points, increasing repository reuse to 81.58%, and reducing cost by up to 53.63% on RAL-Bench while maintaining broadly stable non-functional quality.

Rethinking Weight Tying: Pseudo-Inverse Tying for Stable LM Training and Updates

Weight tying is widely used in compact language models to reduce parameters by sharing the token table between the input embedding and the output projection. However, weight sharing does not guarantee a stable token interface: during training, the correspondence between encoding tokens into hidden states and decoding hidden states into logits can drift, worsening optimization sensitivity and making post-training interventions such as editing, patching, and lightweight adaptation less predictable. We propose Pseudo-Inverse Tying (PIT), which synchronizes embedding and unembedding as coupled projections of a shared latent token memory, guaranteeing a pseudo-inverse-consistent interface throughout training. PIT maintains an orthonormal shared memory, obtained by thin polar decomposition for teacher initialization or random orthonormal initialization from scratch, and introduces a fully learned symmetric positive definite hidden-space transform parameterized via a Cholesky factor. The output head applies this transform to hidden states before the vocabulary projection, while the embedding applies the inverse transform to token vectors using stable triangular solves, avoiding explicit pseudo-inverse recomputation and any vocabulary-sized auxiliary parameters. We evaluate PIT on on-device models spanning 256M-1.3B parameters across pretraining and adaptation, and consistently observe improved training stability, stronger layerwise semantic consistency, and substantially reduced side effects.

CodeOCR: On the Effectiveness of Vision Language Models in Code Understanding

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success in source code understanding, yet as software systems grow in scale, computational efficiency has become a critical bottleneck. Currently, these models rely on a text-based paradigm that treats source code as a linear sequence of tokens, which leads to a linear increase in context length and associated computational costs. The rapid advancement of Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) introduces an opportunity to optimize efficiency by representing source code as rendered images. Unlike text, which is difficult to compress without losing semantic meaning, the image modality is inherently suitable for compression. By adjusting resolution, images can be scaled to a fraction of their original token cost while remaining recognizable to vision-capable models. To explore the feasibility of this approach, we conduct the first systematic study on the effectiveness of MLLMs for code understanding. Our experiments reveal that: (1) MLLMs can effectively understand code with substantial token reduction, achieving up to 8x compression; (2) MLLMs can effectively leverage visual cues such as syntax highlighting, improving code completion performance under 4x compression; and (3) Code-understanding tasks like clone detection exhibit exceptional resilience to visual compression, with some compression ratios even slightly outperforming raw text inputs. Our findings highlight both the potential and current limitations of MLLMs in code understanding, which points out a shift toward image-modality code representation as a pathway to more efficient inference.

Rethinking Video Generation Model for the Embodied World

Video generation models have significantly advanced embodied intelligence, unlocking new possibilities for generating diverse robot data that capture perception, reasoning, and action in the physical world. However, synthesizing high-quality videos that accurately reflect real-world robotic interactions remains challenging, and the lack of a standardized benchmark limits fair comparisons and progress. To address this gap, we introduce a comprehensive robotics benchmark, RBench, designed to evaluate robot-oriented video generation across five task domains and four distinct embodiments. It assesses both task-level correctness and visual fidelity through reproducible sub-metrics, including structural consistency, physical plausibility, and action completeness. Evaluation of 25 representative models highlights significant deficiencies in generating physically realistic robot behaviors. Furthermore, the benchmark achieves a Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.96 with human evaluations, validating its effectiveness. While RBench provides the necessary lens to identify these deficiencies, achieving physical realism requires moving beyond evaluation to address the critical shortage of high-quality training data. Driven by these insights, we introduce a refined four-stage data pipeline, resulting in RoVid-X, the largest open-source robotic dataset for video generation with 4 million annotated video clips, covering thousands of tasks and enriched with comprehensive physical property annotations. Collectively, this synergistic ecosystem of evaluation and data establishes a robust foundation for rigorous assessment and scalable training of video models, accelerating the evolution of embodied AI toward general intelligence.

CORVUS: Red-Teaming Hallucination Detectors via Internal Signal Camouflage in Large Language Models

Single-pass hallucination detectors rely on internal telemetry (e.g., uncertainty, hidden-state geometry, and attention) of large language models, implicitly assuming hallucinations leave separable traces in these signals. We study a white-box, model-side adversary that fine-tunes lightweight LoRA adapters on the model while keeping the detector fixed, and introduce CORVUS, an efficient red-teaming procedure that learns to camouflage detector-visible telemetry under teacher forcing, including an embedding-space FGSM attention stress test. Trained on 1,000 out-of-distribution Alpaca instructions (<0.5% trainable parameters), CORVUS transfers to FAVA-Annotation across Llama-2, Vicuna, Llama-3, and Qwen2.5, and degrades both training-free detectors (e.g., LLM-Check) and probe-based detectors (e.g., SEP, ICR-probe), motivating adversary-aware auditing that incorporates external grounding or cross-model evidence.

Advances and Frontiers of LLM-based Issue Resolution in Software Engineering: A Comprehensive Survey

Issue resolution, a complex Software Engineering (SWE) task integral to real-world development, has emerged as a compelling challenge for artificial intelligence. The establishment of benchmarks like SWE-bench revealed this task as profoundly difficult for large language models, thereby significantly accelerating the evolution of autonomous coding agents. This paper presents a systematic survey of this emerging domain. We begin by examining data construction pipelines, covering automated collection and synthesis approaches. We then provide a comprehensive analysis of methodologies, spanning training-free frameworks with their modular components to training-based techniques, including supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning. Subsequently, we discuss critical analyses of data quality and agent behavior, alongside practical applications. Finally, we identify key challenges and outline promising directions for future research. An open-source repository is maintained at https://github.com/DeepSoftwareAnalytics/Awesome-Issue-Resolution to serve as a dynamic resource in this field.

iTIMO: An LLM-empowered Synthesis Dataset for Travel Itinerary Modification

Addressing itinerary modification is crucial for enhancing the travel experience as it is a frequent requirement during traveling. However, existing research mainly focuses on fixed itinerary planning, leaving modification underexplored. To bridge this gap, we formally define the itinerary modification task and introduce iTIMO, a dataset specifically tailored for this purpose. We identify the lack of {\itshape need-to-modify} itinerary data as the critical bottleneck hindering research on this task and propose a general pipeline to overcome it. This pipeline frames the generation of such data as an intent-driven perturbation task. It instructs large language models to perturb real world itineraries using three atomic editing operations: REPLACE, ADD, and DELETE. Each perturbation is grounded in three intents, including disruptions of popularity, spatial distance, and category diversity. Furthermore, a hybrid evaluation metric is designed to ensure perturbation effectiveness. We conduct comprehensive experiments on iTIMO, revealing the limitations of current LLMs and lead to several valuable directions for future research.
