PhysInOne: Visual Physics Learning and Reasoning in One Suite

We present PhysInOne, a large-scale synthetic dataset addressing the critical scarcity of physically-grounded training data for AI systems. Unlike existing datasets limited to merely hundreds or thousands of examples, PhysInOne provides 2 million videos across 153,810 dynamic 3D scenes, covering 71 basic physical phenomena in mechanics, optics, fluid dynamics, and magnetism. Distinct from previous works, our scenes feature multiobject interactions against complex backgrounds, with comprehensive ground-truth annotations including 3D geometry, semantics, dynamic motion, physical properties, and text descriptions. We demonstrate PhysInOne's efficacy across four emerging applications: physics-aware video generation, long-/short-term future frame prediction, physical property estimation, and motion transfer. Experiments show that fine-tuning foundation models on PhysInOne significantly enhances physical plausibility, while also exposing critical gaps in modeling complex physical dynamics and estimating intrinsic properties. As the largest dataset of its kind, orders of magnitude beyond prior works, PhysInOne establishes a new benchmark for advancing physics-grounded world models in generation, simulation, and embodied AI.

SciLT: Long-Tailed Classification in Scientific Image Domains

Long-tailed recognition has benefited from foundation models and fine-tuning paradigms, yet existing studies and benchmarks are mainly confined to natural image domains, where pre-training and fine-tuning data share similar distributions. In contrast, scientific images exhibit distinct visual characteristics and supervision signals, raising questions about the effectiveness of fine-tuning foundation models in such settings. In this work, we investigate scientific long-tailed recognition under a purely visual and parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) paradigm. Experiments on three scientific benchmarks show that fine-tuning foundation models yields limited gains, and reveal that penultimate-layer features play an important role, particularly for tail classes. Motivated by these findings, we propose SciLT, a framework that exploits multi-level representations through adaptive feature fusion and dual-supervision learning. By jointly leveraging penultimate- and final-layer features, SciLT achieves balanced performance across head and tail classes. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SciLT consistently outperforms existing methods, establishing a strong and practical baseline for scientific long-tailed recognition and providing valuable guidance for adapting foundation models to scientific data with substantial domain shifts.

UniRecGen: Unifying Multi-View 3D Reconstruction and Generation

Sparse-view 3D modeling represents a fundamental tension between reconstruction fidelity and generative plausibility. While feed-forward reconstruction excels in efficiency and input alignment, it often lacks the global priors needed for structural completeness. Conversely, diffusion-based generation provides rich geometric details but struggles with multi-view consistency. We present UniRecGen, a unified framework that integrates these two paradigms into a single cooperative system. To overcome inherent conflicts in coordinate spaces, 3D representations, and training objectives, we align both models within a shared canonical space. We employ disentangled cooperative learning, which maintains stable training while enabling seamless collaboration during inference. Specifically, the reconstruction module is adapted to provide canonical geometric anchors, while the diffusion generator leverages latent-augmented conditioning to refine and complete the geometric structure. Experimental results demonstrate that UniRecGen achieves superior fidelity and robustness, outperforming existing methods in creating complete and consistent 3D models from sparse observations.

3DGS-HPC: Distractor-free 3D Gaussian Splatting with Hybrid Patch-wise Classification

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has demonstrated remarkable performance in novel view synthesis and 3D scene reconstruction, yet its quality often degrades in real-world environments due to transient distractors, such as moving objects and varying shadows. Existing methods commonly rely on semantic cues extracted from pre-trained vision models to identify and suppress these distractors, but such semantics are misaligned with the binary distinction between static and transient regions and remain fragile under the appearance perturbations introduced during 3DGS optimization. We propose 3DGS-HPC, a framework that circumvents these limitations by combining two complementary principles: a patch-wise classification strategy that leverages local spatial consistency for robust region-level decisions, and a hybrid classification metric that adaptively integrates photometric and perceptual cues for more reliable separation. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority and robustness of our method in mitigating distractors to improve 3DGS-based novel view synthesis.

GNN Based Joint Beamforming Design for Extremely Large-Scale RIS Assisted Near-Field ISAC Systems

This paper investigates an extremely large-scale reconfigurable intelligent surface (XL-RIS) assisted near-field integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, where a multi-antenna base station (BS) simultaneously sends unicast data to multiple single-antenna communication users (CUs) and senses multiple targets (TGTs). The BS, CUs and TGTs are \emph{all} assumed to be located in the near-field region of the XL-RIS. We aim to maximize the weighted sum rate (WSR) of all CUs, subject to the sensing beampattern gain constraint for each TGT, the transmit power constraint for the BS, and the unit modulus constraints on the XL-RIS phase shift. First, we develop a fractional programming (FP) based block coordinate descent (BCD) algorithm to obtain a locally optimal solution for such a non-convex joint design problem. Secondly, to address the high-dimensional spatial correlations and scalability of the XL-RIS near-field channels, we propose a customized graph neural network (GNN) scheme to generate the BS transmit beamforming variables and the XL-RIS reflecting coefficient vector for ISAC, where the near-field ISAC system is modeled as a heterogeneous graph comprising XL-RIS/CU/TGT nodes. The proposed GNN scheme can effectively learn the near-field channel state information (CSI) features, in which the message passing mechanism is employed to exchange CSI among these directly connected nodes in the graph. Furthermore, each XL-RIS/CU/TGT node maintains a feature vector for mapping to the BS transmit beamforming variables or the XL-RIS reflecting coefficient vector. Numerical results show that the proposed GNN-based beamforming design scheme achieves a better performance than the existing baselines, in terms of computational efficiency, feasibility, robustness, and the ability of generalization.

Contextual and Seasonal LSTMs for Time Series Anomaly Detection

Univariate time series (UTS), where each timestamp records a single variable, serve as crucial indicators in web systems and cloud servers. Anomaly detection in UTS plays an essential role in both data mining and system reliability management. However, existing reconstruction-based and prediction-based methods struggle to capture certain subtle anomalies, particularly small point anomalies and slowly rising anomalies. To address these challenges, we propose a novel prediction-based framework named Contextual and Seasonal LSTMs (CS-LSTMs). CS-LSTMs are built upon a noise decomposition strategy and jointly leverage contextual dependencies and seasonal patterns, thereby strengthening the detection of subtle anomalies. By integrating both time-domain and frequency-domain representations, CS-LSTMs achieve more accurate modeling of periodic trends and anomaly localization. Extensive evaluations on public benchmark datasets demonstrate that CS-LSTMs consistently outperform state-of-the-art methods, highlighting their effectiveness and practical value in robust time series anomaly detection.

Kimi K2.5: Visual Agentic Intelligence

We introduce Kimi K2.5, an open-source multimodal agentic model designed to advance general agentic intelligence. K2.5 emphasizes the joint optimization of text and vision so that two modalities enhance each other. This includes a series of techniques such as joint text-vision pre-training, zero-vision SFT, and joint text-vision reinforcement learning. Building on this multimodal foundation, K2.5 introduces Agent Swarm, a self-directed parallel agent orchestration framework that dynamically decomposes complex tasks into heterogeneous sub-problems and executes them concurrently. Extensive evaluations show that Kimi K2.5 achieves state-of-the-art results across various domains including coding, vision, reasoning, and agentic tasks. Agent Swarm also reduces latency by up to $4.5\times$ over single-agent baselines. We release the post-trained Kimi K2.5 model checkpoint to facilitate future research and real-world applications of agentic intelligence.

ProphetKV: User-Query-Driven Selective Recomputation for Efficient KV Cache Reuse in Retrieval-Augmented Generation

The prefill stage of long-context Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is severely bottlenecked by computational overhead. To mitigate this, recent methods assemble pre-calculated KV caches of retrieved RAG documents (by a user query) and reprocess selected tokens to recover cross-attention between these pre-calculated KV caches. However, we identify a fundamental "crowding-out effect" in current token selection criteria: globally salient but user-query-irrelevant tokens saturate the limited recomputation budget, displacing the tokens truly essential for answering the user query and degrading inference accuracy. We propose ProphetKV, a user-query-driven KV Cache reuse method for RAG scenarios. ProphetKV dynamically prioritizes tokens based on their semantic relevance to the user query and employs a dual-stage recomputation pipeline to fuse layer-wise attention metrics into a high-utility set. By ensuring the recomputation budget is dedicated to bridging the informational gap between retrieved context and the user query, ProphetKV achieves high-fidelity attention recovery with minimal overhead. Our extensive evaluation results show that ProphetKV retains 96%-101% of full-prefill accuracy with only a 20% recomputation ratio, while achieving accuracy improvements of 8.8%-24.9% on RULER and 18.6%-50.9% on LongBench over the state-of-the-art approaches (e.g., CacheBlend, EPIC, and KVShare).

Unveiling Perceptual Artifacts: A Fine-Grained Benchmark for Interpretable AI-Generated Image Detection

Current AI-Generated Image (AIGI) detection approaches predominantly rely on binary classification to distinguish real from synthetic images, often lacking interpretable or convincing evidence to substantiate their decisions. This limitation stems from existing AIGI detection benchmarks, which, despite featuring a broad collection of synthetic images, remain restricted in their coverage of artifact diversity and lack detailed, localized annotations. To bridge this gap, we introduce a fine-grained benchmark towards eXplainable AI-Generated image Detection, named X-AIGD, which provides pixel-level, categorized annotations of perceptual artifacts, spanning low-level distortions, high-level semantics, and cognitive-level counterfactuals. These comprehensive annotations facilitate fine-grained interpretability evaluation and deeper insight into model decision-making processes. Our extensive investigation using X-AIGD provides several key insights: (1) Existing AIGI detectors demonstrate negligible reliance on perceptual artifacts, even at the most basic distortion level. (2) While AIGI detectors can be trained to identify specific artifacts, they still substantially base their judgment on uninterpretable features. (3) Explicitly aligning model attention with artifact regions can increase the interpretability and generalization of detectors. The data and code are available at: https://github.com/Coxy7/X-AIGD.

Attributing and Exploiting Safety Vectors through Global Optimization in Large Language Models

While Large Language Models (LLMs) are aligned to mitigate risks, their safety guardrails remain fragile against jailbreak attacks. This reveals limited understanding of components governing safety. Existing methods rely on local, greedy attribution that assumes independent component contributions. However, they overlook the cooperative interactions between different components in LLMs, such as attention heads, which jointly contribute to safety mechanisms. We propose \textbf{G}lobal \textbf{O}ptimization for \textbf{S}afety \textbf{V}ector Extraction (GOSV), a framework that identifies safety-critical attention heads through global optimization over all heads simultaneously. We employ two complementary activation repatching strategies: Harmful Patching and Zero Ablation. These strategies identify two spatially distinct sets of safety vectors with consistently low overlap, termed Malicious Injection Vectors and Safety Suppression Vectors, demonstrating that aligned LLMs maintain separate functional pathways for safety purposes. Through systematic analyses, we find that complete safety breakdown occurs when approximately 30\% of total heads are repatched across all models. Building on these insights, we develop a novel inference-time white-box jailbreak method that exploits the identified safety vectors through activation repatching. Our attack substantially outperforms existing white-box attacks across all test models, providing strong evidence for the effectiveness of the proposed GOSV framework on LLM safety interpretability.
