Physics-informed Deep Mixture-of-Koopmans Vehicle Dynamics Model with Dual-branch Encoder for Distributed Electric-drive Trucks

Advanced autonomous driving systems require accurate vehicle dynamics modeling. However, identifying a precise dynamics model remains challenging due to strong nonlinearities and the coupled longitudinal and lateral dynamic characteristics. Previous research has employed physics-based analytical models or neural networks to construct vehicle dynamics representations. Nevertheless, these approaches often struggle to simultaneously achieve satisfactory performance in terms of system identification efficiency, modeling accuracy, and compatibility with linear control strategies. In this paper, we propose a fully data-driven dynamics modeling method tailored for complex distributed electric-drive trucks (DETs), leveraging Koopman operator theory to represent highly nonlinear dynamics in a lifted linear embedding space. To achieve high-precision modeling, we first propose a novel dual-branch encoder which encodes dynamic states and provides a powerful basis for the proposed Koopman-based methods entitled KODE. A physics-informed supervision mechanism, grounded in the geometric consistency of temporal vehicle motion, is incorporated into the training process to facilitate effective learning of both the encoder and the Koopman operator. Furthermore, to accommodate the diverse driving patterns of DETs, we extend the vanilla Koopman operator to a mixture-of-Koopman operator framework, enhancing modeling capability. Simulations conducted in a high-fidelity TruckSim environment and real-world experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in long-term dynamics state estimation.

Joint Optimization of Storage and Loading for High-Performance 3D Point Cloud Data Processing

With the rapid development of computer vision and deep learning, significant advancements have been made in 3D vision, partic- ularly in autonomous driving, robotic perception, and augmented reality. 3D point cloud data, as a crucial representation of 3D information, has gained widespread attention. However, the vast scale and complexity of point cloud data present significant chal- lenges for loading and processing and traditional algorithms struggle to handle large-scale datasets.The diversity of storage formats for point cloud datasets (e.g., PLY, XYZ, BIN) adds complexity to data handling and results in inefficiencies in data preparation. Al- though binary formats like BIN and NPY have been used to speed up data access, they still do not fully address the time-consuming data loading and processing phase. To overcome these challenges, we propose the .PcRecord format, a unified data storage solution designed to reduce the storage occupation and accelerate the processing of point cloud data. We also introduce a high-performance data processing pipeline equipped with multiple modules. By leveraging a multi-stage parallel pipeline architecture, our system optimizes the use of computational resources, significantly improving processing speed and efficiency. This paper details the im- plementation of this system and demonstrates its effectiveness in addressing the challenges of handling large-scale point cloud datasets.On average, our system achieves performance improvements of 6.61x (ModelNet40), 2.69x (S3DIS), 2.23x (ShapeNet), 3.09x (Kitti), 8.07x (SUN RGB-D), and 5.67x (ScanNet) with GPU and 6.9x, 1.88x, 1.29x, 2.28x, 25.4x, and 19.3x with Ascend.

ZTab: Domain-based Zero-shot Annotation for Table Columns

This study addresses the challenge of automatically detecting semantic column types in relational tables, a key task in many real-world applications. Zero-shot modeling eliminates the need for user-provided labeled training data, making it ideal for scenarios where data collection is costly or restricted due to privacy concerns. However, existing zero-shot models suffer from poor performance when the number of semantic column types is large, limited understanding of tabular structure, and privacy risks arising from dependence on high-performance closed-source LLMs. We introduce ZTab, a domain-based zero-shot framework that addresses both performance and zero-shot requirements. Given a domain configuration consisting of a set of predefined semantic types and sample table schemas, ZTab generates pseudo-tables for the sample schemas and fine-tunes an annotation LLM on them. ZTab is domain-based zero-shot in that it does not depend on user-specific labeled training data; therefore, no retraining is needed for a test table from a similar domain. We describe three cases of domain-based zero-shot. The domain configuration of ZTab provides a trade-off between the extent of zero-shot and annotation performance: a "universal domain" that contains all semantic types approaches "pure" zero-shot, while a "specialized domain" that contains semantic types for a specific application enables better zero-shot performance within that domain.

Hindsight-Anchored Policy Optimization: Turning Failure into Feedback in Sparse Reward Settings

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a promising paradigm for post-training reasoning models. However, group-based methods such as Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) face a critical dilemma in sparse-reward settings: pure Reinforcement Learning (RL) suffers from advantage collapse and high-variance gradient estimation, while mixed-policy optimization introduces persistent distributional bias. To resolve this dilemma, we introduce Hindsight-Anchored Policy Optimization (HAPO). HAPO employs the Synthetic Success Injection (SSI) operator, a hindsight mechanism that selectively anchors optimization to teacher demonstrations during failure. This injection is governed by a Thompson sampling-inspired gating mechanism, creating an autonomous, self-paced curriculum. Theoretically, we demonstrate that HAPO achieves \textit{asymptotic consistency}: by naturally annealing the teacher signal as the policy improves, HAPO recovers the unbiased on-policy gradient. This ensures off-policy guidance acts as a temporary scaffold rather than a persistent ceiling, enabling the model to surpass the limitations of static teacher forcing.

MetaDAT: Generalizable Trajectory Prediction via Meta Pre-training and Data-Adaptive Test-Time Updating

Existing trajectory prediction methods exhibit significant performance degradation under distribution shifts during test time. Although test-time training techniques have been explored to enable adaptation, current approaches rely on an offline pre-trained predictor that lacks online learning flexibility. Moreover, they depend on fixed online model updating rules that do not accommodate the specific characteristics of test data. To address these limitations, we first propose a meta-learning framework to directly optimize the predictor for fast and accurate online adaptation, which performs bi-level optimization on the performance of simulated test-time adaptation tasks during pre-training. Furthermore, at test time, we introduce a data-adaptive model updating mechanism that dynamically adjusts the predefined learning rates and updating frequencies based on online partial derivatives and hard sample selection. This mechanism enables the online learning rate to suit the test data, and focuses on informative hard samples to enhance efficiency. Experiments are conducted on various challenging cross-dataset distribution shift scenarios, including nuScenes, Lyft, and Waymo. Results demonstrate that our method achieves superior adaptation accuracy, surpassing state-of-the-art test-time training methods for trajectory prediction. Additionally, our method excels under suboptimal learning rates and high FPS demands, showcasing its robustness and practicality.

MADCrowner: Margin Aware Dental Crown Design with Template Deformation and Refinement

Dental crown restoration is one of the most common treatment modalities for tooth defect, where personalized dental crown design is critical. While computer-aided design (CAD) systems have notably enhanced the efficiency of dental crown design, extensive manual adjustments are still required in the clinic workflow. Recent studies have explored the application of learning-based methods for the automated generation of restorative dental crowns. Nevertheless, these approaches were challenged by inadequate spatial resolution, noisy outputs, and overextension of surface reconstruction. To address these limitations, we propose \totalframework, a margin-aware mesh generation framework comprising CrownDeformR and CrownSegger. Inspired by the clinic manual workflow of dental crown design, we designed CrownDeformR to deform an initial template to the target crown based on anatomical context, which is extracted by a multi-scale intraoral scan encoder. Additionally, we introduced \marginseg, a novel margin segmentation network, to extract the cervical margin of the target tooth. The performance of CrownDeformR improved with the cervical margin as an extra constraint. And it was also utilized as the boundary condition for the tailored postprocessing method, which removed the overextended area of the reconstructed surface. We constructed a large-scale intraoral scan dataset and performed extensive experiments. The proposed method significantly outperformed existing approaches in both geometric accuracy and clinical feasibility.

From Solver to Tutor: Evaluating the Pedagogical Intelligence of LLMs with KMP-Bench

Large Language Models (LLMs) show significant potential in AI mathematical tutoring, yet current evaluations often rely on simplistic metrics or narrow pedagogical scenarios, failing to assess comprehensive, multi-turn teaching effectiveness. In this paper, we introduce KMP-Bench, a comprehensive K-8 Mathematical Pedagogical Benchmark designed to assess LLMs from two complementary perspectives. The first module, KMP-Dialogue, evaluates holistic pedagogical capabilities against six core principles (e.g., Challenge, Explanation, Feedback), leveraging a novel multi-turn dialogue dataset constructed by weaving together diverse pedagogical components. The second module, KMP-Skills, provides a granular assessment of foundational tutoring abilities, including multi-turn problem-solving, error detection and correction, and problem generation. Our evaluations on KMP-Bench reveal a key disparity: while leading LLMs excel at tasks with verifiable solutions, they struggle with the nuanced application of pedagogical principles. Additionally, we present KMP-Pile, a large-scale (150K) dialogue dataset. Models fine-tuned on KMP-Pile show substantial improvement on KMP-Bench, underscoring the value of pedagogically-rich training data for developing more effective AI math tutors.

GLM-5: from Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering

We present GLM-5, a next-generation foundation model designed to transition the paradigm of vibe coding to agentic engineering. Building upon the agentic, reasoning, and coding (ARC) capabilities of its predecessor, GLM-5 adopts DSA to significantly reduce training and inference costs while maintaining long-context fidelity. To advance model alignment and autonomy, we implement a new asynchronous reinforcement learning infrastructure that drastically improves post-training efficiency by decoupling generation from training. Furthermore, we propose novel asynchronous agent RL algorithms that further improve RL quality, enabling the model to learn from complex, long-horizon interactions more effectively. Through these innovations, GLM-5 achieves state-of-the-art performance on major open benchmarks. Most critically, GLM-5 demonstrates unprecedented capability in real-world coding tasks, surpassing previous baselines in handling end-to-end software engineering challenges.

Stochastic Design of Active RIS-Assisted Satellite Downlinks under Interference, Folded Noise, and EIRP Constraints

Active reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) can mitigate the double-fading loss of passive reflection in satellite downlinks. However, their gains are limited by random co-channel interference, gain-dependent amplifier noise, and regulatory emission constraints. This paper develops a stochastic reliability framework for active RIS-assisted satellite downlinks by modeling the desired and interfering channels, receiver noise, and RIS amplifier noise as random variables. The resulting instantaneous signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) model explicitly captures folded cascaded amplifier noise and reveals a finite high-gain SINR ceiling. To guarantee a target outage level, we formulate a chance-constrained max-SINR design that jointly optimizes the binary RIS configuration and a common amplification gain. The chance constraint is handled using a sample-average approximation (SAA) with a violation budget. The resulting feasibility problem is solved as a mixed-integer second-order cone program (MISOCP) within a bisection search over the SINR threshold. Practical implementation is enforced by restricting the gain to an admissible range determined by small-signal stability and effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) limits. We also derive realization-wise SINR envelopes based on eigenvalue and l1-norm bounds, which provide interpretable performance limits and fast diagnostics. Monte Carlo results show that these envelopes tightly bound the simulated SINR, reproduce the predicted saturation behavior, and quantify performance degradation as interference increases. Overall, the paper provides a solver-ready, reliability-targeting design methodology whose achieved reliability is validated through out-of-sample Monte Carlo testing under realistic randomness and hardware constraints.

FullStack-Agent: Enhancing Agentic Full-Stack Web Coding via Development-Oriented Testing and Repository Back-Translation

Assisting non-expert users to develop complex interactive websites has become a popular task for LLM-powered code agents. However, existing code agents tend to only generate frontend web pages, masking the lack of real full-stack data processing and storage with fancy visual effects. Notably, constructing production-level full-stack web applications is far more challenging than only generating frontend web pages, demanding careful control of data flow, comprehensive understanding of constantly updating packages and dependencies, and accurate localization of obscure bugs in the codebase. To address these difficulties, we introduce FullStack-Agent, a unified agent system for full-stack agentic coding that consists of three parts: (1) FullStack-Dev, a multi-agent framework with strong planning, code editing, codebase navigation, and bug localization abilities. (2) FullStack-Learn, an innovative data-scaling and self-improving method that back-translates crawled and synthesized website repositories to improve the backbone LLM of FullStack-Dev. (3) FullStack-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark that systematically tests the frontend, backend and database functionalities of the generated website. Our FullStack-Dev outperforms the previous state-of-the-art method by 8.7%, 38.2%, and 15.9% on the frontend, backend, and database test cases respectively. Additionally, FullStack-Learn raises the performance of a 30B model by 9.7%, 9.5%, and 2.8% on the three sets of test cases through self-improvement, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach.
