SILSM: A Sustainable Interactive Level Set Method for Progressive Refinement

Interactive segmentation aims to precisely isolate target objects using sparse user guidance. However, traditional methods often suffer from heavy interaction burdens and parameter sensitivity, while deep learning approaches struggle with data dependency and iterative instability. Motivated by these limitations, we propose the Sustainable Interactive Level Set Method (SILSM). The proposed level set evolution equation incorporates interaction, regularization, and segmentation terms. Specifically, high-order regularization is employed to maintain numerical stability, and unlike traditional methods, we decouple user guidance into an independent interaction term to enable direct manual control over the zero-level set evolution. Furthermore, we develop a numerical algorithm tailored for multiple interactions, which facilitates dynamic refinement by effectively updating the segmentation results based on sequential user inputs. We theoretically demonstrate that the high-order term provides stronger regularization constraints than the conventional length term, while the interaction term ensures segmentation strictly within the user-selected region. Experimental results further demonstrate that the proposed method is robust to interactive inputs, achieves competitive performance at the first interaction, and supports stable multi-round interactions with progressively improved segmentation quality.

Workspace-Bench 1.0: Benchmarking AI Agents on Workspace Tasks with Large-Scale File Dependencies

Workspace learning requires AI agents to identify, reason over, exploit, and update explicit and implicit dependencies among heterogeneous files in a worker's workspace, enabling them to complete both routine and advanced tasks effectively. Despite its importance, existing relevant benchmarks largely evaluate agents on pre-specified or synthesized files with limited real-world dependencies, leaving workspace-level evaluation underexplored. To this end, we introduce Workspace-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating AI agents on Workspace Learning invOlving Large-Scale File Dependencies. We construct realistic workspaces with 5 worker profiles, 74 file types, 20,476 files (up to 20GB) and curate 388 tasks, each with its own file dependency graph, evaluated across 7,399 total rubrics that require cross-file retrieval, contextual reasoning, and adaptive decision-making. We further provide Workspace-Bench-Lite, a 100-task subset that preserves the benchmark distribution while reducing evaluation costs by about 70%. We evaluate 4 popular agent harnesses and 7 foundation models. Experimental results show that current agents remain far from reliable workspace learning, where the best reaches only 68.7%, substantially below the human result of 80.7%, and the average performance across agents is only 47.4%.
