GS-Playground: A High-Throughput Photorealistic Simulator for Vision-Informed Robot Learning

Embodied AI research is undergoing a shift toward vision-centric perceptual paradigms. While massively parallel simulators have catalyzed breakthroughs in proprioception-based locomotion, their potential remains largely untapped for vision-informed tasks due to the prohibitive computational overhead of large-scale photorealistic rendering. Furthermore, the creation of simulation-ready 3D assets heavily relies on labor-intensive manual modeling, while the significant sim-to-real physical gap hinders the transfer of contact-rich manipulation policies. To address these bottlenecks, we propose GS-Playground, a multi-modal simulation framework designed to accelerate end-to-end perceptual learning. We develop a novel high-performance parallel physics engine, specifically designed to integrate with a batch 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) rendering pipeline to ensure high-fidelity synchronization. Our system achieves a breakthrough throughput of 10^4 FPS at 640x480 resolution, significantly lowering the barrier for large-scale visual RL. Additionally, we introduce an automated Real2Sim workflow that reconstructs photorealistic, physically consistent, and memory-efficient environments, streamlining the generation of complex simulation-ready scenes. Extensive experiments on locomotion, navigation, and manipulation demonstrate that GS-Playground effectively bridges the perceptual and physical gaps across diverse embodied tasks.

Rethinking Wireless Communications through Formal Mathematical AI Reasoning

Mathematical analysis has long underpinned wireless communication theory, yet the growing complexity of next-generation systems demands increasingly sophisticated reasoning from domain experts. Recent advances in AI mathematical reasoning, from formal theorem proving to large language model (LLM)-based derivation, offer a promising but largely unexplored path forward. Here we argue that wireless communications is a uniquely structured domain for formal AI reasoning, and propose a three-layer framework of verification, derivation, and discovery to rethink how wireless mathematical knowledge is established.

HINTBench: Horizon-agent Intrinsic Non-attack Trajectory Benchmark

Existing agent-safety evaluation has focused mainly on externally induced risks. Yet agents may still enter unsafe trajectories under benign conditions. We study this complementary but underexplored setting through the lens of \emph{intrinsic} risk, where intrinsic failures remain latent, propagate across long-horizon execution, and eventually lead to high-consequence outcomes. To evaluate this setting, we introduce \emph{non-attack intrinsic risk auditing} and present \textbf{HINTBench}, a benchmark of 629 agent trajectories (523 risky, 106 safe; 33 steps on average) supporting three tasks: risk detection, risk-step localization, and intrinsic failure-type identification. Its annotations are organized under a unified five-constraint taxonomy. Experiments reveal a substantial capability gap: strong LLMs perform well on trajectory-level risk detection, but their performance drops to below 35 Strict-F1 on risk-step localization, while fine-grained failure diagnosis proves even harder. Existing guard models transfer poorly to this setting. These findings establish intrinsic risk auditing as an open challenge for agent safety.

A Graph Foundation Model for Wireless Resource Allocation

The aggressive densification of modern wireless networks necessitates judicious resource allocation to mitigate severe mutual interference. However, classical iterative algorithms remain computationally prohibitive for real-time applications requiring rapid responsiveness. While recent deep learning-based methods show promise, they typically function as task-specific solvers lacking the flexibility to adapt to different objectives and scenarios without expensive retraining. To address these limitations, we propose a graph foundation model for resource allocation (GFM-RA) based on a pre-training and fine-tuning paradigm to extract unified representations, thereby enabling rapid adaptation to different objectives and scenarios. Specifically, we introduce an interference-aware Transformer architecture with a bias projector that injects interference topologies into global attention mechanisms. Furthermore, we develop a hybrid self-supervised pre-training strategy that synergizes masked edge prediction with negative-free Teacher-Student contrastive learning, enabling the model to capture transferable structural representations from massive unlabeled datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves state-of-the-art performance and scales effectively with increased model capacity. Crucially, leveraging its unified representations, the foundation model exhibits exceptional sample efficiency, enabling robust few-shot adaptation to diverse and unsupervised downstream objectives in out-of-distribution (OOD) scenarios. These results demonstrate the promise of pre-trained foundation models for adaptable wireless resource allocation and provide a strong foundation for future research on generalizable learning-based wireless optimization.

Intelligent Forensics in Next-Generation Mobile Networks: Evidence, Methods, and Applications

This survey examines intelligent forensics in next-generation mobile networks, arguing that future wireless security must move beyond real-time detection toward accountable post-incident reconstruction. Unlike traditional digital forensics, wireless investigations rely on short-lived, distributed, and heterogeneous evidence, including radio waveforms, channel measurements, device-side artifacts, and network telemetry, affected by calibration, timing uncertainty, privacy constraints, and adversarial manipulation. To address this limitation, this paper develops an evidence-centric framework that treats wireless measurements as first-class forensic artifacts and organizes the field through a unified taxonomy spanning physical-layer, device-layer, network-layer, and cross-layer forensics. We further systematize the forensic workflow into readiness and preservation-by-design, acquisition, correlation and analysis, and reporting and reproducibility, while comparing the complementary roles of traditional methods and artificial intelligence-assisted techniques. Subsequently, we review major application areas, including anomaly discovery, attribution, provenance and localization, authenticity verification, and timeline reconstruction. Finally, we identify key open challenges, including domain shift, resource-aware evidence capture, and the benefits and admissibility risks of generative evidence. Overall, this paper positions wireless forensics as a foundational capability for trustworthy, auditable, and reproducible security in next-generation wireless systems. Readers can understand and streamline wireless forensics processes for specific applications, such as low-altitude wireless networks, vehicular communications, and edge general intelligence.

Reward Hacking as Equilibrium under Finite Evaluation

We prove that under five minimal axioms -- multi-dimensional quality, finite evaluation, effective optimization, resource finiteness, and combinatorial interaction -- any optimized AI agent will systematically under-invest effort in quality dimensions not covered by its evaluation system. This result establishes reward hacking as a structural equilibrium, not a correctable bug, and holds regardless of the specific alignment method (RLHF, DPO, Constitutional AI, or others) or evaluation architecture employed. Our framework instantiates the multi-task principal-agent model of Holmstrom and Milgrom (1991) in the AI alignment setting, but exploits a structural feature unique to AI systems -- the known, differentiable architecture of reward models -- to derive a computable distortion index that predicts both the direction and severity of hacking on each quality dimension prior to deployment. We further prove that the transition from closed reasoning to agentic systems causes evaluation coverage to decline toward zero as tool count grows -- because quality dimensions expand combinatorially while evaluation costs grow at most linearly per tool -- so that hacking severity increases structurally and without bound. Our results unify the explanation of sycophancy, length gaming, and specification gaming under a single theoretical structure and yield an actionable vulnerability assessment procedure. We further conjecture -- with partial formal analysis -- the existence of a capability threshold beyond which agents transition from gaming within the evaluation system (Goodhart regime) to actively degrading the evaluation system itself (Campbell regime), providing the first economic formalization of Bostrom's (2014) "treacherous turn."

MemCam: Memory-Augmented Camera Control for Consistent Video Generation

Interactive video generation has significant potential for scene simulation and video creation. However, existing methods often struggle with maintaining scene consistency during long video generation under dynamic camera control due to limited contextual information. To address this challenge, we propose MemCam, a memory-augmented interactive video generation approach that treats previously generated frames as external memory and leverages them as contextual conditioning to achieve controllable camera viewpoints with high scene consistency. To enable longer and more relevant context, we design a context compression module that encodes memory frames into compact representations and employs co-visibility-based selection to dynamically retrieve the most relevant historical frames, thereby reducing computational overhead while enriching contextual information. Experiments on interactive video generation tasks show that MemCam significantly outperforms existing baseline methods as well as open-source state-of-the-art approaches in terms of scene consistency, particularly in long video scenarios with large camera rotations.

Forecasting with Guidance: Representation-Level Supervision for Time Series Forecasting

Nowadays, time series forecasting is predominantly approached through the end-to-end training of deep learning architectures using error-based objectives. While this is effective at minimizing average loss, it encourages the encoder to discard informative yet extreme patterns. This results in smooth predictions and temporal representations that poorly capture salient dynamics. To address this issue, we propose ReGuider, a plug-in method that can be seamlessly integrated into any forecasting architecture. ReGuider leverages pretrained time series foundation models as semantic teachers. During training, the input sequence is processed together by the target forecasting model and the pretrained model. Rather than using the pretrained model's outputs directly, we extract its intermediate embeddings, which are rich in temporal and semantic information, and align them with the target model's encoder embeddings through representation-level supervision. This alignment process enables the encoder to learn more expressive temporal representations, thereby improving the accuracy of downstream forecasting. Extensive experimentation across diverse datasets and architectures demonstrates that our ReGuider consistently improves forecasting performance, confirming its effectiveness and versatility.

OCP: Orthogonal Constrained Projection for Sparse Scaling in Industrial Commodity Recommendation

In industrial commodity recommendation systems, the representation quality of Item-Id vocabularies directly impacts the scalability and generalization ability of recommendation models. A key challenge is that traditional Item-Id vocabularies, when subjected to sparse scaling, suffer from low-frequency information interference, which restricts their expressive power for massive item sets and leads to representation collapse. To address this issue, we propose an Orthogonal Constrained Projection method to optimize embedding representation. By enforcing orthogonality, the projection constrains the backpropagation manifold, aligning the singular value spectrum of the learned embeddings with the orthogonal basis. This alignment ensures high singular entropy, thereby preserving isotropic generalized features while suppressing spurious correlations and overfitting to rare items. Empirical results demonstrate that OCP accelerates loss convergence and enhances the model's scalability; notably, it enables consistent performance gains when scaling up dense layers. Large-scale industrial deployment on JD.com further confirms its efficacy, yielding a 12.97% increase in UCXR and an 8.9% uplift in GMV, highlighting its robust utility for scaling up both sparse vocabularies and dense architectures.

From Digital Twins to World Models:Opportunities, Challenges, and Applications for Mobile Edge General Intelligence

The rapid evolution toward 6G and beyond communication systems is accelerating the convergence of digital twins and world models at the network edge. Traditional digital twins provide high-fidelity representations of physical systems and support monitoring, analysis, and offline optimization. However, in highly dynamic edge environments, they face limitations in autonomy, adaptability, and scalability. This paper presents a systematic survey of the transition from digital twins to world models and discusses its role in enabling edge general intelligence (EGI). First, the paper clarifies the conceptual differences between digital twins and world models and highlights the shift from physics-based, centralized, and system-centric replicas to data-driven, decentralized, and agent-centric internal models. This discussion helps readers gain a clear understanding of how this transition enables more adaptive, autonomous, and resource-efficient intelligence at the network edge. The paper reviews the design principles, architectures, and key components of world models, including perception, latent state representation, dynamics learning, imagination-based planning, and memory. In addition, it examines the integration of world models and digital twins in wireless EGI systems and surveys emerging applications in integrated sensing and communications, semantic communication, air-ground networks, and low-altitude wireless networks. Finally, this survey provides a systematic roadmap and practical insights for designing world-model-driven edge intelligence systems in wireless and edge computing environments. It also outlines key research challenges and future directions toward scalable, reliable, and interoperable world models for edge-native agentic AI.
