Mirror Illusion Art

Mirror Illusion Art is a novel reflection-conditioned 3D illusion where one object yields two target appearances (front and mirror). The task is formulated as inverse design from two target 2D images (front and mirror) to a printable 3D object with geometry and texture. Prior topology-driven and shadow-based approaches demand substantial manual effort, optimize shape only, and often yield non-smooth or incomplete geometry. To address these challenges, we propose AutoMIA, an automated Mirror Illusion Art design pipeline that jointly optimizes shape and color. To stabilize optimization and suppress artifacts, four mechanisms are introduced: (1) projection-alignment component (PAC) selection to reduce surface noise, (2) position-weighted adaptive (PWA) suppression for background noise, (3) internal voxel preservation (IVP) to prevent internal fractures, and (4) shape-color decoupled (SCD) optimization that balance shape and color optimization. AutoMIA generate diverse smooth Mirror Illusion artworks successfully both in the digital and physical world, with only around 76s design time and 2.6 GB memory on average using a single RTX 3090, advancing inverse graphics and computational design.

ComMem: Complementary Memory Systems for Test-Time Adaptation of Vision-Language Models

Test-time adaptation (TTA) of vision-language models (VLMs) is essential for their robust deployment in dynamic, real-world environments. However, existing TTA methods often adapt locally without accumulating knowledge over time, or operating within a single modality without exploiting VLMs' inherently multi-modal nature. Inspired by the \textbf{Com}plementary \textbf{Mem}ory systems of the biological brain, we propose \textbf{ComMem}, an innovative approach that mimics the distinct but cooperative roles of the hippocampus and neocortex to enable effective TTA for VLMs. ComMem consists of two key components: a fast-adapting detailed memory, akin to the hippocampus, that forms a dynamic visual cache from high-confidence test samples; and a slow-integrating abstract memory, akin to the neocortex, that continually refines global textual prototypes. For each test instance, ComMem jointly optimizes both memory systems to ensure cross-modal consistency. Extensive experiments on 15 benchmark datasets show that ComMem significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods under both natural distribution shifts and cross-dataset generalization, offering a promising direction for enhancing VLMs' practical adaptability.

Causal-rCM: A Unified Teacher-Forcing and Self-Forcing Open Recipe for Autoregressive Diffusion Distillation in Streaming Video Generation and Interactive World Models

Autoregressive video diffusion with causal diffusion transformers has emerged as a major paradigm for real-time streaming video generation and action-conditioned interactive world models. In this work, we extend rCM, an advanced diffusion distillation framework, to autoregressive video diffusion. The core philosophy of rCM lies in the complementarity between forward and reverse divergences, represented by consistency models (CMs) and distribution matching distillation (DMD), respectively, in diffusion distillation. This philosophy naturally carries over to the autoregressive setting, where teacher-forcing (TF) provides an offline, forward-divergence causal training paradigm, while self-forcing (SF) corresponds to an on-policy, reverse-divergence refinement. Our contributions are: (1) through extensive experiments, we show that teacher-forcing CM is currently the best complement to self-forcing DMD as an initialization strategy (2) we present the first implementation of teacher-forcing-based continuous-time CMs (e.g., sCM/MeanFlow) for autoregressive video diffusion, enabled by our custom-mask FlashAttention-2 JVP kernel, achieving 10$\times$ faster convergence compared to discrete-time CMs (dCMs) (3) we introduce Causal-rCM, a leading, unified, and scalable algorithm-infrastructure open recipe for diffusion distillation and causal training (4) we achieve state-of-the-art streaming video generation performance in both frame-wise and chunk-wise settings, using only synthetic data for training. Notably, our distilled 2-step causal Wan2.1-1.3B model achieves a VBench-T2V score of 84.63 with only 1 or 2 sampling steps. We further apply Causal-rCM to Cosmos 3, an advanced omnimodal world foundation model for physical AI with action-conditioned generation capability, enabling an interactive world model.

Latent Block-Diffusion Temporal Point Processes: A Semi-Autoregressive Framework for Asynchronous Event Sequence Generation

Modeling and sampling from the underlying distribution of asynchronous event sequences are crucial in various real-world applications, including social networks, medical diagnosis, and financial transactions. Existing autoregressive methods suffer from error accumulation during multi-step generation, while non-autoregressive diffusion methods are typically limited to fixed-length output sequences. In this paper, we propose Latent Block-Diffusion Temporal Point Processes (LBDTPP), a novel semi-autoregressive TPP framework that introduces a latent block diffusion mechanism for high-quality and variable-length event sequence generation. The core idea is to define an autoregressive probability distribution over event blocks in latent space and perform Gaussian diffusion within each block. By sequentially generating blocks while simultaneously sampling events in each block, LBDTPP preserves the length flexibility of autoregressive TPPs and inherits the parallel high-quality generation capability of diffusion models. Theoretically, we derive Wasserstein error bounds showing that, under suitable local approximation and prefix-stability assumptions, block-wise generation can reduce error accumulation compared with event-wise autoregressive generation. Extensive experiments on six real-world benchmark datasets demonstrate that LBDTPP outperforms state-of-the-art TPP baselines in both unconditional and conditional generation tasks. Further empirical analyses verify the benefits of latent-space diffusion and block-wise generation, and reveal the trade-off between generation quality and block size.

Low-Complexity Hybrid Precoding for Cell-Free Massive MU-MIMO ISAC Systems

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) in cell-free (CF) massive multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) system is a promising architecture for high-rate communications and high-accuracy multi-target sensing. However, centralized coordination among distributed access points (APs) incurs substantial fronthaul overhead and computation complexity. This paper proposes a low-complexity hybrid precoding framework for CF massive MU-MIMO ISAC systems with partially-connected architectures at the APs. By applying hybrid architecture at the APs, the proposed framework converts the original high-dimensional channel information into a low-dimensional effective channel, enabling digital precoding over the compressed channel domain and thereby substantially reducing both fronthaul overhead and baseband computational complexity. We formulate the joint hybrid precoding design as an ergodic sum-rate (ESR) maximization problem with position error bound (PEB) constraints to ensure multi-target sensing accuracy. An efficient alternating optimization (AO)-based solver is then developed, where the PEB constraint is reformulated into tractable convex constraints, while the digital-domain optimization is carried out over the reduced-dimensional effective channel and the analog precoding is refined on the constant-modulus manifold. For dynamic user topology, we further propose multi-branch (MB) rate-splitting (RS) minimum mean-square-error Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (MMSE-THP) update algorithm that combines multi-branch ordering with recursive MMSE-THP matrix updates, enabling common and private digital precodings to be refreshed without repeated full matrix recomputation. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves high ESR and accurate multi-target sensing while reducing computational complexity by 87.02\% compared with conventional baselines.

MemSlides: A Hierarchical Memory Driven Agent Framework for Personalized Slide Generation with Multi-turn Local Revision

Personalized presentation generation requires more than conditioning on a current prompt or template: agents must preserve stable user preferences across tasks, retain newly introduced preferences and constraints during multi-turn revision, and carry out local edits reliably. We propose MemSlides, a hierarchical memory framework for personalized presentation agents that separates long-term memory from working memory and further divides long-term memory into user profile memory and tool memory. User profile memory stores intent-conditioned profiles for round-0 personalization, working memory carries active preferences and session constraints across revision rounds, and tool memory stores reusable execution experience for reliable localized editing. MemSlides pairs this memory design with scoped slide-local revision, so targeted updates act on the smallest affected region instead of repeatedly regenerating the full deck. In controlled experiments, user profile memory improves persona-alignment judgments on a multi-persona, multi-intent profile bank, tool-memory injection improves closed-loop modify behavior in diagnostic matched-pair settings, and qualitative cases illustrate working memory's ability to carryover preferences. Taken together, these results suggest that effective personalization in presentation authoring depends on separating persistent user profiles, session-level working memory, and reusable execution experience across generation and localized revision.

FreeSonic: Training-Free Temporal-Aware Decoupled Attention for Precise Audio Editing

Text-to-audio (TTA) generation has made significant strides, yet achieving precise and consistent audio editing remains a major challenge. However, existing methods struggle to balance temporal consistency with background preservation. In this paper, we propose FreeSonic, a training-free framework leveraging the state-of-the-art Rectified Flow-based TangoFlux model. FreeSonic utilizes an optimized inversion-reverse process and joint text-audio attention maps for precise target segment extraction. For content editing, a novel scheduled attention decoupling confines modifications to target regions while preserving original acoustic context. Furthermore, task-oriented noise injection enhances versatility for tasks such as audio removal and non-rigid replacement. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that FreeSonic achieves a superior balance by providing a high-fidelity and efficient solution for precise and consistent audio editing.

PACT: Self-Evolving Physical Safety Alignment for Diffusion Policies in Embodied Manipulation

Diffusion policies have achieved remarkable success in robotic manipulation, yet they often fail to satisfy strict physical constraints required for safe deployment. Existing approaches impose safety either prematurely during training or reactively via external guardrails at test time, limiting policy expressivity and overall scalability. We propose Physical safety Alignment for Constrained Trajectories (PACT), a self-evolving post-training framework that projects pretrained diffusion policies onto constraint-feasible regions without accessing demonstration data or task rewards. PACT distills constraint gradients into the diffusion model through a reverse-KL objective with dense supervision across timesteps. It incorporates a curriculum that progressively tightens constraints while maintaining theoretically bounded policy shift and monotone improvement, mitigating the safety-performance trade-off from catastrophic forgetting. On simulated and real-world embodied manipulation benchmarks, PACT significantly reduces safety violations by 31.0% on average while improving task success by 30.7%.

FunctionEvolve: Structure-Guided Symbolic Regression with LLMs

Symbolic regression aims to uncover explicit scientific laws from data. Recent methods use LLMs to guide mutation from background text, which is more directed than random genetic programming. However, exact symbolic recovery requires both semantic guidance and explicit structure, so that domain-informed search are carried out through valid symbolic representation. Current LLM-driven systems remain structure-blind: they select among opaque candidates, lack explicit mechanisms for local mutation, and rely on brittle coefficient fitting that can undervalue correct skeletons. We propose FunctionEvolve, an evolutionary framework using expression trees to organize the whole search: structural summaries promote diverse parent selection, local tree edits preserve useful subexpressions, and structure-aware fitting decomposes, constrains, and simplifies coefficients for more reliable scoring. It uses only elementary function families, without additional domain-specific rules limiting generalization. On the 129-task synthetic subset of LLM-SRBench, FunctionEvolve with \emph{Claude Opus 4.6} recovers 107 exact forms, reaching 82.9% SA@50, 4.5x above same-backbone baselines, and 55.8% SA@1, 3.6x above the strongest previously published top-1 result. Ablations show that structure-visible search is central to reliable recovery, with LLM-guided refinements and structure-aware coefficient optimization serving as essential proposal and scoring mechanisms. We also audit the benchmark and show that collinearity in its materials-science subset creates identifiability issues.
