Diffusion Image Editing via Asynchronous Token Decoding

Text-guided diffusion image editing aims to modify semantic attributes of an image while preserving its identity, layout, and background. However, naïvely switching the text condition during sampling often causes global drift, as denoising dynamics propagate changes across tokens and can disrupt unedited regions. To address this issue, we propose \textbf{A}synchronous \textbf{T}oken \textbf{D}ecoding \textbf{Edit} (ATDEdit), an inference-time framework that views each sampler step as a parallel update of a globally coupled token matrix and enables token-indexed condition switching with differentiated update policies. Instead of applying synchronous target-conditioned updates to all tokens, ATDEdit estimates editable locations using token-wise conditional surprisal and applies target-conditioned corrections to the selected token set. It supplies source key/value memory at keep-token positions and projects selected keep-token latent rows back to their source values; these operations promote background preservation but do not constitute a pixel-level invariance guarantee. This approach combines local editing and background preservation without external or user-provided spatial masks and without model fine-tuning. On PIE-Bench, ATDEdit achieves the strongest reported preservation metrics, including 27.44~dB PSNR and 0.055 LPIPS, while retaining competitive semantic alignment.

Control-Diverse Reinforcement Fine-Tuning: Decoupling the Shared Control Bottleneck of RL Post-Training

Reinforcement learning post-training unlocks complex reasoning in LLMs. Yet benchmark scores reveal only whether a model improved, not what changed inside it, nor how it splits finite capability across tasks. A representative interpretability line attributes the success of RL fine-tuning to stronger and more diverse circuit activation. We challenge this activation-centered account by separating activation from control: an activated circuit need not control the post-training reward gain. Adapting Metabolic Control Analysis, we define the Post-training Control Coefficient to measure component control over reward gain and arrange these coefficients by task family into a control matrix, paired with an activation-magnitude matrix. We call cross-task control concentration the Shared Control Bottleneck and the difference between activation and control concentration the Activation-Control Gap. This reveals that highly shared activations can coexist with task-specific control, while a small gap indicates that control has collapsed onto a shared direction and lost task specificity. To reduce this collapse, we regularize the post-training loss with the Shared Control Bottleneck and propose Control-Diverse Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (CD-RFT). The exact regularizer gradient requires second-order automatic differentiation incompatible with flash attention, so we derive a first-order proxy with worst-case overhead below eight percent. On Qwen2.5-7B, CD-RFT achieves the largest control decoupling and improves multi-task capability over matched GRPO across mathematics, code, and logic. The no-KL variant leads on pass@1, and the KL-penalized variant leads on large-k pass@k coverage that KL otherwise degrades. Together, these results show that the Shared Control Bottleneck is both a mechanistic diagnostic and a training regularizer, and that control decoupling and capability gains transfer to Llama-3.2-3B.

MinerU.Chem: A High-Precision System for Optical Chemical Structure and Reaction Recognition

In organic chemistry papers and patents, molecular structures, reaction schemes, and experimental conditions are often presented as molecular structure depictions, reaction diagrams, and complex tables or figures. Such information is difficult for general-purpose document parsing systems to directly convert into machine-readable data. This limits data production for organic chemistry knowledge base construction and for AI for Chemistry tasks such as reaction prediction, retrosynthesis, condition recommendation, molecular property prediction, and drug molecule design. This report introduces MinerU-Chem, a document parsing system for organic chemistry literature integrated into the MinerU online platform. Built on top of MinerU's general document parsing pipeline, MinerU-Chem adds five chemistry-specific modules: chemistry relevance filtering, molecular structure detection, molecule identifier extraction, molecular structure recognition, and reaction scheme parsing. Together, these modules convert organic-chemistry-related image regions in documents into a Molecule Summary List and a Reaction Summary List. For molecular structure recognition, MinerU-Chem uses CARBON (Complex Atomic Representation and Bonding Object Notation) as its core representation. CARBON enables recognition results to preserve both the visual layout of the original image and complex chemical semantics, while supporting the export of standard downstream formats such as MolFile and SMILES. On the SMILES-evaluable subset of MolRecBench-Wild (N=2,392), MinerU-Chem's molecular structure recognition module achieves a SMILES exact-match accuracy of 93.02%, outperforming the best evaluated comparison system, GPT-5.6-Sol (74.87%), by 18.15 percentage points. The system has been integrated into the MinerU online platform and is available at https://mineru.net/OpenSourceTools/Extractor .

TCHG: Tri-Trust Conditioned Heterogeneous Graph Learning for Reliable Dynamic Trust Prediction

Trust prediction infers latent user-user trust relations and provides important support for social recommendation, fake-review and manipulation detection, and risk identification. Graph neural networks have become a prominent approach to trust prediction because of their ability to learn network structures and complex trust dependencies. However, existing methods often rely on a unified representation of trust signals and do not disentangle heterogeneous trust evidence into separate evidence channels, failing to exploit the distinct roles that different evidence channels should play during trust modeling. To address this gap, this paper argues that trust evidence should not be treated as an undifferentiated input, but should be decomposed and used as functional control factors over graph propagation. We propose TCHG, a tri-trust conditioned heterogeneous graph learning framework that decomposes trust evidence into three channels and assigns them distinct functional roles in propagation: entity reliability governs message admission, interaction-behavior reliability modulates propagation strength, and contextual trust adjusts the propagation mode through context-conditioned operator selection. Since the three evidence channels evolve at different temporal scales, TCHG maintains independent temporal states with non-uniform decay rates to prevent rapidly changing contextual signals from overwriting slowly accumulated entity reliability. It further predicts trust probability and calibrates the output probability, improving predictive confidence under sparse or conflicting evidence. Extensive experiments on multiple public trust datasets show that TCHG achieves effective and reliable trust prediction compared with representative trust prediction and heterogeneous graph baselines.

MolRecBench-Wild: A Real-World Benchmark for Optical Chemical Structure Recognition

Optical Chemical Structure Recognition (OCSR) aims to translate molecular diagrams in scientific literature into machine-readable formats, but current systems remain unreliable on real-world images due to substantial visual and chemical complexity. We introduce MOSAIC, a dual-dimensional difficulty framework with 37 fine-grained labels that jointly characterize visual interference and chemical semantic challenges in molecular diagrams. Based on this framework, we construct MolRecBench-Wild, a benchmark of 5,029 structures from 820 recent chemistry papers, covering the full difficulty spectrum observed in real publications. To enable faithful semantic evaluation beyond SMILES and MolFile, we propose CARBON, a representation language capable of expressing valence variations, icon-based groups, and other non-standard chemical semantics. We further adopt a dual-track evaluation protocol supporting both CARBON and SMILES outputs for broad model compatibility. Comprehensive experiments over 18 OCSR-capable models reveal severe performance degradation on MolRecBench-Wild, exposing a large gap between previous patent benchmarks and real-world academic scenarios.

TransSplat: Unbalanced Semantic Transport for Language-Driven 3DGS Editing

Language-driven 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) editing provides a more convenient approach for modifying complex scenes in VR/AR. Standard pipelines typically adopt a two-stage strategy: first editing multiple 2D views, and then optimizing the 3D representation to match these edited observations. Existing methods mainly improve view consistency through multi-view feature fusion, attention filtering, or iterative recalibration. However, they fail to explicitly address a more fundamental issue: the semantic correspondence between edited 2D evidence and 3D Gaussians. To tackle this problem, we propose TransSplat, which formulates language-driven 3DGS editing as a multi-view unbalanced semantic transport problem. Specifically, our method establishes correspondences between visible Gaussians and view-specific editing prototypes, thereby explicitly characterizing the semantic relationship between edited 2D evidence and 3D Gaussians. It further recovers a cross-view shared canonical 3D edit field to guide unified 3D appearance updates. In addition, we use transport residuals to suppress erroneous edits in non-target regions, mitigating edit leakage and improving local control precision. Qualitative and quantitative results show that, compared with existing 3D editing methods centered on enhancing view consistency, TransSplat achieves superior performance in local editing accuracy and structural consistency.

CoCo-SAM3: Harnessing Concept Conflict in Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation

SAM3 advances open-vocabulary semantic segmentation by introducing a prompt-driven mask generation paradigm. However, in multi-class open-vocabulary scenarios, masks generated independently from different category prompts lack a unified and inter-class comparable evidence scale, often resulting in overlapping coverage and unstable competition. Moreover, synonymous expressions of the same concept tend to activate inconsistent semantic and spatial evidence, leading to intra-class drift that exacerbates inter-class conflicts and compromises overall inference stability. To address these issues, we propose CoCo-SAM3 (Concept-Conflict SAM3), which explicitly decouples inference into intra-class enhancement and inter-class competition. Our method first aligns and aggregates evidence from synonymous prompts to strengthen concept consistency. It then performs inter-class competition on a unified comparable scale, enabling direct pixel-wise comparisons among all candidate classes. This mechanism stabilizes multi-class inference and effectively mitigates inter-class conflicts. Without requiring any additional training, CoCo-SAM3 achieves consistent improvements across eight open-vocabulary semantic segmentation benchmarks.

ChordEdit: One-Step Low-Energy Transport for Image Editing

The advent of one-step text-to-image (T2I) models offers unprecedented synthesis speed. However, their application to text-guided image editing remains severely hampered, as forcing existing training-free editors into a single inference step fails. This failure manifests as severe object distortion and a critical loss of consistency in non-edited regions, resulting from the high-energy, erratic trajectories produced by naive vector arithmetic on the models' structured fields. To address this problem, we introduce ChordEdit, a model agnostic, training-free, and inversion-free method that facilitates high-fidelity one-step editing. We recast editing as a transport problem between the source and target distributions defined by the source and target text prompts. Leveraging dynamic optimal transport theory, we derive a principled, low-energy control strategy. This strategy yields a smoothed, variance-reduced editing field that is inherently stable, facilitating the field to be traversed in a single, large integration step. A theoretically grounded and experimentally validated approach allows ChordEdit to deliver fast, lightweight and precise edits, finally achieving true real-time editing on these challenging models.

Riemannian Liquid Spatio-Temporal Graph Network

Liquid Time-Constant networks (LTCs), a type of continuous-time graph neural network, excel at modeling irregularly-sampled dynamics but are fundamentally confined to Euclidean space. This limitation introduces significant geometric distortion when representing real-world graphs with inherent non-Euclidean structures (e.g., hierarchies and cycles), degrading representation quality. To overcome this limitation, we introduce the Riemannian Liquid Spatio-Temporal Graph Network (RLSTG), a framework that unifies continuous-time liquid dynamics with the geometric inductive biases of Riemannian manifolds. RLSTG models graph evolution through an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) formulated directly on a curved manifold, enabling it to faithfully capture the intrinsic geometry of both structurally static and dynamic spatio-temporal graphs. Moreover, we provide rigorous theoretical guarantees for RLSTG, extending stability theorems of LTCs to the Riemannian domain and quantifying its expressive power via state trajectory analysis. Extensive experiments on real-world benchmarks demonstrate that, by combining advanced temporal dynamics with a Riemannian spatial representation, RLSTG achieves superior performance on graphs with complex structures.

MMErroR: A Benchmark for Erroneous Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

Recent advances in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have improved performance in multi-modal learning, raising the question of whether these models truly understand the content they process. Crucially, can VLMs detect when a reasoning process is wrong and identify its error type? To answer this, we present MMErroR, a multi-modal benchmark of 2,013 samples, each embedding a single coherent reasoning error. These samples span 24 subdomains across six top-level domains, ensuring broad coverage and taxonomic richness. Unlike existing benchmarks that focus on answer correctness, MMErroR targets a process-level, error-centric evaluation that requires models to detect incorrect reasoning and classify the error type within both visual and linguistic contexts. We evaluate 20 advanced VLMs, even the best model (Gemini-3.0-Pro) classifies the error in only 66.47\% of cases, underscoring the challenge of identifying erroneous reasoning. Furthermore, the ability to accurately identify errors offers valuable insights into the capabilities of multi-modal reasoning models. Project Page: https://mmerror-benchmark.github.io
