Abstract:Human motion is highly expressive and naturally aligned with language, yet prevailing methods relying heavily on joint text-motion embeddings struggle to synthesize temporally accurate, detailed motions and often lack explainability. To address these limitations, we introduce LabanLite, a motion representation developed by adapting and extending the Labanotation system. Unlike black-box text-motion embeddings, LabanLite encodes each atomic body-part action (e.g., a single left-foot step) as a discrete Laban symbol paired with a textual template. This abstraction decomposes complex motions into interpretable symbol sequences and body-part instructions, establishing a symbolic link between high-level language and low-level motion trajectories. Building on LabanLite, we present LaMoGen, a Text-to-LabanLite-to-Motion Generation framework that enables large language models (LLMs) to compose motion sequences through symbolic reasoning. The LLM interprets motion patterns, relates them to textual descriptions, and recombines symbols into executable plans, producing motions that are both interpretable and linguistically grounded. To support rigorous evaluation, we introduce a Labanotation-based benchmark with structured description-motion pairs and three metrics that jointly measure text-motion alignment across symbolic, temporal, and harmony dimensions. Experiments demonstrate that LaMoGen establishes a new baseline for both interpretability and controllability, outperforming prior methods on our benchmark and two public datasets. These results highlight the advantages of symbolic reasoning and agent-based design for language-driven motion synthesis.
Abstract:Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have shown promise in solving incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, yet existing approaches are predominantly designed for single-flow settings. When extended to multi-flow scenarios, these methods face three key challenges: (1) difficulty in simultaneously capturing both shared physical principles and flow-specific characteristics, (2) susceptibility to inter-task negative transfer that degrades prediction accuracy, and (3) unstable training dynamics caused by disparate loss magnitudes across heterogeneous flow regimes. To address these limitations, we propose UniPINN, a unified multi-flow PINN framework that integrates three complementary components: a shared-specialized architecture that disentangles universal physical laws from flow-specific features, a cross-flow attention mechanism that selectively reinforces relevant patterns while suppressing task-irrelevant interference, and a dynamic weight allocation strategy that adaptively balances loss contributions to stabilize multi-objective optimization. Extensive experiments on three canonical flows demonstrate that UniPINN effectively unifies multi-flow learning, achieving superior prediction accuracy and balanced performance across heterogeneous regimes while successfully mitigating negative transfer.

Abstract:We present RiO-DETR: DETR for Real-time Oriented Object Detection, the first real-time oriented detection transformer to the best of our knowledge. Adapting DETR to oriented bounding boxes (OBBs) poses three challenges: semantics-dependent orientation, angle periodicity that breaks standard Euclidean refinement, and an enlarged search space that slows convergence. RiO-DETR resolves these issues with task-native designs while preserving real-time efficiency. First, we propose Content-Driven Angle Estimation by decoupling angle from positional queries, together with Rotation-Rectified Orthogonal Attention to capture complementary cues for reliable orientation. Second, Decoupled Periodic Refinement combines bounded coarse-to-fine updates with a Shortest-Path Periodic Loss for stable learning across angular seams. Third, Oriented Dense O2O injects angular diversity into dense supervision to speed up angle convergence at no extra cost. Extensive experiments on DOTA-1.0, DIOR-R, and FAIR-1M-2.0 demonstrate RiO-DETR establishes a new speed--accuracy trade-off for real-time oriented detection. Code will be made publicly available.
Abstract:Current benchmarks for code agents primarily assess narrow, repository-specific fixes, overlooking critical real-world challenges such as cross-repository reasoning, domain-specialized problem solving, dependency-driven migration, and full-repository generation. To address this gap, we introduce BeyondSWE, a comprehensive benchmark that broadens existing evaluations along two axes - resolution scope and knowledge scope - using 500 real-world instances across four distinct settings. Experimental results reveal a significant capability gap: even frontier models plateau below 45% success, and no single model performs consistently across task types. To systematically investigate the role of external knowledge, we develop SearchSWE, a framework that integrates deep search with coding abilities. Our experiments show that search augmentation yields inconsistent gains and can in some cases degrade performance, highlighting the difficulty of emulating developer-like workflows that interleave search and reasoning during coding tasks. This work offers both a realistic, challenging evaluation benchmark and a flexible framework to advance research toward more capable code agents.
Abstract:Recent Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable multimodal understanding capabilities, yet the redundant visual tokens incur prohibitive computational overhead and degrade inference efficiency. Prior studies typically relies on [CLS] attention or text-vision cross-attention to identify and discard redundant visual tokens. Despite promising results, such solutions are prone to introduce positional bias and, more critically, are incompatible with efficient attention kernels such as FlashAttention, limiting their practical deployment for VLM acceleration. In this paper, we step away from attention dependencies and revisit visual token compression from an information-theoretic perspective, aiming to maximally preserve visual information without any attention involvement. We present ApET, an Approximation-Error guided Token compression framework. ApET first reconstructs the original visual tokens with a small set of basis tokens via linear approximation, then leverages the approximation error to identify and drop the least informative tokens. Extensive experiments across multiple VLMs and benchmarks demonstrate that ApET retains 95.2% of the original performance on image-understanding tasks and even attains 100.4% on video-understanding tasks, while compressing the token budgets by 88.9% and 87.5%, respectively. Thanks to its attention-free design, ApET seamlessly integrates with FlashAttention, enabling further inference acceleration and making VLM deployment more practical.

Abstract:Features of the same sample generated by different pretrained models often exhibit inherently distinct feature distributions because of discrepancies in the model pretraining objectives or architectures. Learning invariant representations from large-scale unlabeled visual data with various pretrained models in a fully unsupervised transfer manner remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose a multiview self-representation learning (MSRL) method in which invariant representations are learned by exploiting the self-representation property of features across heterogeneous views. The features are derived from large-scale unlabeled visual data through transfer learning with various pretrained models and are referred to as heterogeneous multiview data. An individual linear model is stacked on top of its corresponding frozen pretrained backbone. We introduce an information-passing mechanism that relies on self-representation learning to support feature aggregation over the outputs of the linear model. Moreover, an assignment probability distribution consistency scheme is presented to guide multiview self-representation learning by exploiting complementary information across different views. Consequently, representation invariance across different linear models is enforced through this scheme. In addition, we provide a theoretical analysis of the information-passing mechanism, the assignment probability distribution consistency and the incremental views. Extensive experiments with multiple benchmark visual datasets demonstrate that the proposed MSRL method consistently outperforms several state-of-the-art approaches.
Abstract:Psychological counseling is a fundamentally multimodal cognitive process in which clinicians integrate verbal content with visual and vocal cues to infer clients' mental states and respond empathically. However, most existing language-model-based counseling systems operate on text alone and rely on implicit mental state inference. We introduce DELTA, a deliberative multi-agent framework that models counseling as a structured reasoning process over multimodal signals, separating evidence grounding, mental state abstraction, and response generation. DELTA further incorporates reinforcement learning guided by a distribution-level Emotion Attunement Score to encourage emotionally attuned responses. Experiments on a multimodal counseling benchmark show that DELTA improves both counseling quality and emotion attunement across models. Ablation and qualitative analyses suggest that explicit multimodal reasoning and structured mental state representations play complementary roles in supporting empathic human-AI interaction.
Abstract:A fundamental challenge in multi-task reinforcement learning (MTRL) is achieving sample efficiency in visual domains where tasks exhibit substantial heterogeneity in both observations and dynamics. Model-based reinforcement learning offers a promising path to improved sample efficiency through world models, but standard monolithic architectures struggle to capture diverse task dynamics, resulting in poor reconstruction and prediction accuracy. We introduce Mixture-of-World Models (MoW), a scalable architecture that combines modular variational autoencoders for task-adaptive visual compression, a hybrid Transformer-based dynamics model with task-conditioned experts and a shared backbone, and a gradient-based task clustering strategy for efficient parameter allocation. On the Atari 100k benchmark, a single MoW agent trained once on 26 Atari games achieves a mean human-normalized score of 110.4%, competitive with the score of 114.2% achieved by STORM, an ensemble of 26 task-specific models, while using 50% fewer parameters. On Meta-World, MoW achieves a 74.5% average success rate within 300 thousand environment steps, establishing a new state of the art. These results demonstrate that MoW provides a scalable and parameter-efficient foundation for generalist world models.
Abstract:3D style transfer refers to the artistic stylization of 3D assets based on reference style images. Recently, 3DGS-based stylization methods have drawn considerable attention, primarily due to their markedly enhanced training and rendering speeds. However, a vital challenge for 3D style transfer is to strike a balance between the content and the patterns and colors of the style. Although the existing methods strive to achieve relatively balanced outcomes, the fixed-output paradigm struggles to adapt to the diverse content-style balance requirements from different users. In this work, we introduce a creative intensity-tunable 3D style transfer paradigm, dubbed \textbf{Tune-Your-Style}, which allows users to flexibly adjust the style intensity injected into the scene to match their desired content-style balance, thus enhancing the customizability of 3D style transfer. To achieve this goal, we first introduce Gaussian neurons to explicitly model the style intensity and parameterize a learnable style tuner to achieve intensity-tunable style injection. To facilitate the learning of tunable stylization, we further propose the tunable stylization guidance, which obtains multi-view consistent stylized views from diffusion models through cross-view style alignment, and then employs a two-stage optimization strategy to provide stable and efficient guidance by modulating the balance between full-style guidance from the stylized views and zero-style guidance from the initial rendering. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method not only delivers visually appealing results, but also exhibits flexible customizability for 3D style transfer.

Abstract:We present PCL-Reasoner-V1.5, a 32-billion-parameter large language model (LLM) for mathematical reasoning. The model is built upon Qwen2.5-32B and refined via supervised fine-tuning (SFT) followed by reinforcement learning (RL). A central innovation is our proposed offline RL method, which provides superior training stability and efficiency over standard online RL methods such as GRPO. Our model achieves state-of-the-art performance among models post-trained on Qwen2.5-32B, attaining average accuracies of 90.9% on AIME 2024 and 85.6% on AIME 2025. Our work demonstrates offline RL as a stable and efficient paradigm for advancing reasoning in LLMs. All experiments were conducted on Huawei Ascend 910C NPUs.
