Gated Spatial Redundancy Projection for Pathology Transformer Attentions

Transformer models are increasingly used for whole-slide image analysis in computational pathology. Yet, WSIs differ fundamentally from natural images: neighbouring patches often contain highly similar tissue type, stain, texture, and cellular composition. We identify this local spatial redundancy as a pathology-specific failure mode of self-attention, where dominant neighbourhood features can be repeatedly mixed into patch-tokens and weaken subtle diagnostic or prognostic deviations. We propose Gated Spatial Redundancy Projection (Gated SRP), a lightweight drop-in correction module for self-attention layers. For each patch token and attention head, Gated SRP estimates a local redundancy axis from neighbouring value vectors, projects the attention output onto this axis, and applies a learned signed gate to correct the redundancy-aligned component geometrically. Across five TCGA survival cohorts, Gated SRP obtains the highest mean C-index among the compared attention variants in all cohorts, with an average improvement over the base attention, while adding only +0.02% parameters. Across five slide-level classification datasets, it improves the base attention on 12 of 16 reported metrics and achieves the best AUC on three datasets.

Internalizing Academic Writing Workflows for Introduction Generation via Struct-Aware Policy Learning

Generating a rigorous paper introduction with large language models (LLMs) remains challenging, since it requires coordinating background, gap identification, method and contribution within a coherent narrative. Existing solutions externalize this process as multi-stage prompts or agent workflows which are expensive and vulnerable to cross-stage drift. We propose StructPO, a struct-aware policy learning framework that internalizes the entire multi-stage writing workflow into a single-pass policy controlled by explicit stage tokens. StructPO introduces struct-aware credit assignment to decouple local stage quality from global coherence and refinement-guided optimization to internalize revision behavior into the first-pass policy. Experiments show that StructPO improves semantic alignment, structural rationality and inference efficiency over workflow-based baselines, generalizes to out-of-domain settings, and remains competitive with GPT-5.1 in human evaluation when scaled to Qwen3-32B. These results show that internalizing academic writing workflows through fine-grained policy optimization offers a viable alternative to costly external orchestration.

Simple Token-Efficient Vision-Language Model for Case-level Pathology Synoptic Report Generation

Generating clinically useful pathology reports for pathology cases from whole-slide images (WSIs) is challenging due to gigapixel resolution, long visual-token sequences, and the complexity of case-level reasoning, where a single case may contain multiple WSIs with heterogeneous tissues and ambiguous findings. We present a simple token-efficient vision--language model for case-level synoptic report generation that remains practical under constrained GPU memory. Our architecture follows a minimal three-component design: a frozen pathology patch encoder, a lightweight two-layer MLP vision-language aligner, and a large language model decoder, with an explicit WSI marker token to separate slides within a case. Training proceeds in two supervised stages: (1) aligner-only WSI captioning using heterogeneous WSI-text pairs, and (2) case-level supervised fine-tuning on case-report pairs for structured report generation. To reduce sequence length, we represent each slide using $512 \times 512$ patches at $5\times$ magnification, which reduces the average sequence length by up to $64\times$ times compared to the commonly used $20\times$ patches. Combined with efficient training techniques, we enable practical training with only half a NVIDIA H100 GPU. Across both training stages, our approach achieves high ROUGE-L/METEOR/BLEU-4 scores while being substantially more efficient in memory and runtime. In AI-based evaluations, our model is consistently preferred over strong baselines. Extensive ablations characterize performance-efficiency trade-offs and identify simple choices that improve robustness in multi-WSI settings. Overall, this work provides a strong, reproducible baseline for efficient pathology report generation, lowering the barrier to multi-WSI VLM research under limited compute.

MoRI: Learning Motivation-Grounded Reasoning for Scientific Ideation in Large Language Models

Scientific ideation aims to propose novel solutions within a given scientific context. Existing LLM-based agentic approaches emulate human research workflows, yet inadequately model scientific reasoning, resulting in surface-level conceptual recombinations that lack technical depth and scientific grounding. To address this issue, we propose \textbf{MoRI} (\textbf{Mo}tivation-grounded \textbf{R}easoning for Scientific \textbf{I}deation), a framework that enables LLMs to explicitly learn the reasoning process from research motivations to methodologies. The base LLM is initialized via supervised fine-tuning to generate a research motivation from a given context, and is subsequently trained under a composite reinforcement learning reward that approximates scientific rigor: (1) entropy-aware information gain encourages the model to uncover and elaborate high-complexity technical details grounded in ground-truth methodologies, and (2) contrastive semantic gain constrains the reasoning trajectory to maintain conceptually aligned with scientifically valid solutions. Empirical results show that MoRI significantly outperforms strong commercial LLMs and complex agentic baselines across multiple dimensions, including novelty, technical rigor, and feasibility. The code will be made available on \href{https://github.com/ECNU-Text-Computing/IdeaGeneration}{GitHub}.

SD4R: Sparse-to-Dense Learning for 3D Object Detection with 4D Radar

4D radar measurements offer an affordable and weather-robust solution for 3D perception. However, the inherent sparsity and noise of radar point clouds present significant challenges for accurate 3D object detection, underscoring the need for effective and robust point clouds densification. Despite recent progress, existing densification methods often fail to address the extreme sparsity of 4D radar point clouds and exhibit limited robustness when processing scenes with a small number of points. In this paper, we propose SD4R, a novel framework that transforms sparse radar point clouds into dense representations. SD4R begins by utilizing a foreground point generator (FPG) to mitigate noise propagation and produce densified point clouds. Subsequently, a logit-query encoder (LQE) enhances conventional pillarization, resulting in robust feature representations. Through these innovations, our SD4R demonstrates strong capability in both noise reduction and foreground point densification. Extensive experiments conducted on the publicly available View-of-Delft dataset demonstrate that SD4R achieves state-of-the-art performance.

Real-Time Construction Algorithm of Co-Occurrence Network Based on Inverted Index

Co-occurrence networks are an important method in the field of natural language processing and text mining for discovering semantic relationships within texts. However, the traditional traversal algorithm for constructing co-occurrence networks has high time complexity and space complexity when dealing with large-scale text data. In this paper, we propose an optimized algorithm based on inverted indexing and breadth-first search to improve the efficiency of co-occurrence network construction and reduce memory consumption. Firstly, the traditional traversal algorithm is analyzed, and its performance issues in constructing co-occurrence networks are identified. Then, the detailed implementation process of the optimized algorithm is presented. Subsequently, the CSL large-scale Chinese scientific literature dataset is used for experimental validation, comparing the performance of the traditional traversal algorithm and the optimized algorithm in terms of running time and memory usage. Finally, using non-parametric test methods, the optimized algorithm is proven to have significantly better performance than the traditional traversal algorithm. The research in this paper provides an effective method for the rapid construction of co-occurrence networks, contributing to the further development of the Information Organization fields.
