Fast Low-light Enhancement and Deblurring for 3D Dark Scenes

Novel view synthesis from low-light, noisy, and motion-blurred imagery remains a valuable and challenging task. Current volumetric rendering methods struggle with compound degradation, and sequential 2D preprocessing introduces artifacts due to interdependencies. In this work, we introduce FLED-GS, a fast low-light enhancement and deblurring framework that reformulates 3D scene restoration as an alternating cycle of enhancement and reconstruction. Specifically, FLED-GS inserts several intermediate brightness anchors to enable progressive recovery, preventing noise blow-up from harming deblurring or geometry. Each iteration sharpens inputs with an off-the-shelf 2D deblurrer and then performs noise-aware 3DGS reconstruction that estimates and suppresses noise while producing clean priors for the next level. Experiments show FLED-GS outperforms state-of-the-art LuSh-NeRF, achieving 21$\times$ faster training and 11$\times$ faster rendering.

K-Gen: A Multimodal Language-Conditioned Approach for Interpretable Keypoint-Guided Trajectory Generation

Generating realistic and diverse trajectories is a critical challenge in autonomous driving simulation. While Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise, existing methods often rely on structured data like vectorized maps, which fail to capture the rich, unstructured visual context of a scene. To address this, we propose K-Gen, an interpretable keypoint-guided multimodal framework that leverages Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to unify rasterized BEV map inputs with textual scene descriptions. Instead of directly predicting full trajectories, K-Gen generates interpretable keypoints along with reasoning that reflects agent intentions, which are subsequently refined into accurate trajectories by a refinement module. To further enhance keypoint generation, we apply T-DAPO, a trajectory-aware reinforcement fine-tuning algorithm. Experiments on WOMD and nuPlan demonstrate that K-Gen outperforms existing baselines, highlighting the effectiveness of combining multimodal reasoning with keypoint-guided trajectory generation.

DSA-SRGS: Super-Resolution Gaussian Splatting for Dynamic Sparse-View DSA Reconstruction

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a key imaging technique for the auxiliary diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. Recent advancements in gaussian splatting and dynamic neural representations have enabled robust 3D vessel reconstruction from sparse dynamic inputs. However, these methods are fundamentally constrained by the resolution of input projections, where performing naive upsampling to enhance rendering resolution inevitably results in severe blurring and aliasing artifacts. Such lack of super-resolution capability prevents the reconstructed 4D models from recovering fine-grained vascular details and intricate branching structures, which restricts their application in precision diagnosis and treatment. To solve this problem, this paper proposes DSA-SRGS, the first super-resolution gaussian splatting framework for dynamic sparse-view DSA reconstruction. Specifically, we introduce a Multi-Fidelity Texture Learning Module that integrates high-quality priors from a fine-tuned DSA-specific super-resolution model, into the 4D reconstruction optimization. To mitigate potential hallucination artifacts from pseudo-labels, this module employs a Confidence-Aware Strategy to adaptively weight supervision signals between the original low-resolution projections and the generated high-resolution pseudo-labels. Furthermore, we develop Radiative Sub-Pixel Densification, an adaptive strategy that leverages gradient accumulation from high-resolution sub-pixel sampling to refine the 4D radiative gaussian kernels. Extensive experiments on two clinical DSA datasets demonstrate that DSA-SRGS significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both quantitative metrics and qualitative visual fidelity.

BAED: a New Paradigm for Few-shot Graph Learning with Explanation in the Loop

The challenges of training and inference in few-shot environments persist in the area of graph representation learning. The quality and quantity of labels are often insufficient due to the extensive expert knowledge required to annotate graph data. In this context, Few-Shot Graph Learning (FSGL) approaches have been developed over the years. Through sophisticated neural architectures and customized training pipelines, these approaches enhance model adaptability to new label distributions. However, compromises in \textcolor{black}{the model's} robustness and interpretability can result in overfitting to noise in labeled data and degraded performance. This paper introduces the first explanation-in-the-loop framework for the FSGL problem, called BAED. We novelly employ the belief propagation algorithm to facilitate label augmentation on graphs. Then, leveraging an auxiliary graph neural network and the gradient backpropagation method, our framework effectively extracts explanatory subgraphs surrounding target nodes. The final predictions are based on these informative subgraphs while mitigating the influence of redundant information from neighboring nodes. Extensive experiments on seven benchmark datasets demonstrate superior prediction accuracy, training efficiency, and explanation quality of BAED. As a pioneer, this work highlights the potential of the explanation-based research paradigm in FSGL.

Rethinking ANN-based Retrieval: Multifaceted Learnable Index for Large-scale Recommendation System

Approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search is widely used in the retrieval stage of large-scale recommendation systems. In this stage, candidate items are indexed using their learned embedding vectors, and ANN search is executed for each user (or item) query to retrieve a set of relevant items. However, ANN-based retrieval has two key limitations. First, item embeddings and their indices are typically learned in separate stages: indexing is often performed offline after embeddings are trained, which can yield suboptimal retrieval quality-especially for newly created items. Second, although ANN offers sublinear query time, it must still be run for every request, incurring substantial computation cost at industry scale. In this paper, we propose MultiFaceted Learnable Index (MFLI), a scalable, real-time retrieval paradigm that learns multifaceted item embeddings and indices within a unified framework and eliminates ANN search at serving time. Specifically, we construct a multifaceted hierarchical codebook via residual quantization of item embeddings and co-train the codebook with the embeddings. We further introduce an efficient multifaceted indexing structure and mechanisms that support real-time updates. At serving time, the learned hierarchical indices are used directly to identify relevant items, avoiding ANN search altogether. Extensive experiments on real-world data with billions of users show that MFLI improves recall on engagement tasks by up to 11.8\%, cold-content delivery by up to 57.29\%, and semantic relevance by 13.5\% compared with prior state-of-the-art methods. We also deploy MFLI in the system and report online experimental results demonstrating improved engagement, less popularity bias, and higher serving efficiency.

WiSparse: Boosting LLM Inference Efficiency with Weight-Aware Mixed Activation Sparsity

Large Language Models (LLMs) offer strong capabilities but incur high inference costs due to dense computation and memory access. Training-free activation sparsity is a promising approach for efficient LLM inference, yet existing methods often rely solely on activation information and uniform sparsity ratios. This overlooks the critical interplay with weights and inter-block sensitivity variation, leading to suboptimal performance. We identify two key phenomena in modern LLMs: 1) less significant activations may align with highly important weights, and 2) sparsity sensitivity varies non-monotonically across model blocks. We propose Weight-aware Mixed-Granularity Training-free Activation Sparsity (WiSparse), which leverages both activation and weight information for adaptive sparsity allocation. Specifically, we introduce a weight-aware mechanism integrating activation magnitudes with precomputed weight norms to accurately identify salient channels. This is combined with a mixed-granularity allocation scheme: a global budget is distributed across blocks via evolutionary search to protect sensitive regions, then refined within blocks to minimize reconstruction error. We improve sparse kernels and demonstrate effectiveness on three representative models. Notably, at 50% sparsity, WiSparse preserves 97% of Llama3.1's dense performance, surpassing the strongest baseline by 2.23 percentage points while achieving a 21.4% acceleration in end-to-end inference speed. Our research advances the limits of training-free approaches for efficient LLM inference, pushing the boundaries of achievable speedup without training.

Pailitao-VL: Unified Embedding and Reranker for Real-Time Multi-Modal Industrial Search

In this work, we presented Pailitao-VL, a comprehensive multi-modal retrieval system engineered for high-precision, real-time industrial search. We here address three critical challenges in the current SOTA solution: insufficient retrieval granularity, vulnerability to environmental noise, and prohibitive efficiency-performance gap. Our primary contribution lies in two fundamental paradigm shifts. First, we transitioned the embedding paradigm from traditional contrastive learning to an absolute ID-recognition task. Through anchoring instances to a globally consistent latent space defined by billions of semantic prototypes, we successfully overcome the stochasticity and granularity bottlenecks inherent in existing embedding solutions. Second, we evolved the generative reranker from isolated pointwise evaluation to the compare-and-calibrate listwise policy. By synergizing chunk-based comparative reasoning with calibrated absolute relevance scoring, the system achieves nuanced discriminative resolution while circumventing the prohibitive latency typically associated with conventional reranking methods. Extensive offline benchmarks and online A/B tests on Alibaba e-commerce platform confirm that Pailitao-VL achieves state-of-the-art performance and delivers substantial business impact. This work demonstrates a robust and scalable path for deploying advanced MLLM-based retrieval architectures in demanding, large-scale production environments.

Learning to Compose for Cross-domain Agentic Workflow Generation

Automatically generating agentic workflows -- executable operator graphs or codes that orchestrate reasoning, verification, and repair -- has become a practical way to solve complex tasks beyond what single-pass LLM generation can reliably handle. Yet what constitutes a good workflow depends heavily on the task distribution and the available operators. Under domain shift, current systems typically rely on iterative workflow refinement to discover a feasible workflow from a large workflow space, incurring high iteration costs and yielding unstable, domain-specific behavior. In response, we internalize a decompose-recompose-decide mechanism into an open-source LLM for cross-domain workflow generation. To decompose, we learn a compact set of reusable workflow capabilities across diverse domains. To recompose, we map each input task to a sparse composition over these bases to generate a task-specific workflow in a single pass. To decide, we attribute the success or failure of workflow generation to counterfactual contributions from learned capabilities, thereby capturing which capabilities actually drive success by their marginal effects. Across stringent multi-domain, cross-domain, and unseen-domain evaluations, our 1-pass generator surpasses SOTA refinement baselines that consume 20 iterations, while substantially reducing generation latency and cost.

TreeCUA: Efficiently Scaling GUI Automation with Tree-Structured Verifiable Evolution

Effectively scaling GUI automation is essential for computer-use agents (CUAs); however, existing work primarily focuses on scaling GUI grounding rather than the more crucial GUI planning, which requires more sophisticated data collection. In reality, the exploration process of a CUA across apps/desktops/web pages typically follows a tree structure, with earlier functional entry points often being explored more frequently. Thus, organizing large-scale trajectories into tree structures can reduce data cost and streamline the data scaling of GUI planning. In this work, we propose TreeCUA to efficiently scale GUI automation with tree-structured verifiable evolution. We propose a multi-agent collaborative framework to explore the environment, verify actions, summarize trajectories, and evaluate quality to generate high-quality and scalable GUI trajectories. To improve efficiency, we devise a novel tree-based topology to store and replay duplicate exploration nodes, and design an adaptive exploration algorithm to balance the depth (\emph{i.e.}, trajectory difficulty) and breadth (\emph{i.e.}, trajectory diversity). Moreover, we develop world knowledge guidance and global memory backtracking to avoid low-quality generation. Finally, we naturally extend and propose the TreeCUA-DPO method from abundant tree node information, improving GUI planning capability by referring to the branch information of adjacent trajectories. Experimental results show that TreeCUA and TreeCUA-DPO offer significant improvements, and out-of-domain (OOD) studies further demonstrate strong generalization. All trajectory node information and code will be available at https://github.com/UITron-hub/TreeCUA.

LakeHopper: Cross Data Lakes Column Type Annotation through Model Adaptation

Column type annotation is vital for tasks like data cleaning, integration, and visualization. Recent solutions rely on resource-intensive language models fine-tuned on well-annotated columns from a particular set of tables, i.e., a source data lake. In this paper, we study whether we can adapt an existing pre-trained LM-based model to a new (i.e., target) data lake to minimize the annotations required on the new data lake. However, challenges include the source-target knowledge gap, selecting informative target data, and fine-tuning without losing shared knowledge exist. We propose LakeHopper, a framework that identifies and resolves the knowledge gap through LM interactions, employs a cluster-based data selection scheme for unannotated columns, and uses an incremental fine-tuning mechanism that gradually adapts the source model to the target data lake. Our experimental results validate the effectiveness of LakeHopper on two different data lake transfers under both low-resource and high-resource settings.
