Abstract:Text-to-CAD generation translates natural-language design intent into editable and executable parametric computer-aided design (CAD) codes, reducing the expertise and effort required for manual modeling. Existing methods incorporate fixed, externally supplied, prompt-induced, or separately optimized critique mechanisms to optimize the generation process, but they do not necessarily optimize how feedback is interpreted and translated into effective corrective actions throughout the generation process. To bridge this feedback-utilization gap, we present RA-CAD (ReAct Agent for CAD), a state-aware agent that interacts with the CAD environment through a Generate--Execute--Critique--Rewrite loop. At each iteration, RA-CAD executes the current code and observes its outcome. Conditioned on the design instruction, current code, and execution feedback, the agent then generates an explicit post-execution critique as an intermediate policy action. This critique either validates the current result for termination or provides revision-oriented guidance that conditions the next rewrite. CAD Code Bootstrapping (CCB) first establishes fundamental parametric CAD coding capabilities through supervised fine-tuning. Feedback-Driven Agent Optimization (FAO) subsequently applies trajectory-level Group Relative Policy Optimization to both policy-generated code and critique sequences, assigning terminal F1 and Chamfer Distance rewards to the complete interaction trajectory. This formulation makes critique an outcome-aligned, learnable policy decision rather than an unoptimized auxiliary output. Experiments on CADFusion and Text2CAD show that RA-CAD achieves state-of-the-art execution validity and geometric quality compared with existing methods and strong proprietary language models, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed state-aware text-to-CAD agent.
Abstract:Group-based reinforcement learning methods for multimodal large language models typically rely on trajectory-level credit assignment that applies a single advantage to all tokens in a response. However, multimodal reasoning involves substantially higher perceptual uncertainty than text-only settings, where the model must repeatedly re-examine visual information to verify intermediate interpretations, and different visual groundings can lead to divergent reasoning paths, making such uniform credit assignment particularly inadequate and causing relative advantages to progressively degenerate toward zero. To address these challenges, we propose Multi-Branch Policy Optimization (MBPO), a tree-based framework that constructs reasoning trees at vision-language decision boundaries, enabling sibling branches to explore diverse visual hypotheses and assigning segment-level credit through branch-relative advantages. We further introduce a temporal replay buffer to reuse informative segments while controlling policy staleness. Experiments on several multimodal reasoning benchmarks show that MBPO outperforms representative baselines, improving both learning signal quality and optimization efficiency. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/ShuaiLyu0110/MBPO.
Abstract:Learning with noisy labels is a fundamental problem in training reliable deep neural networks. Robust loss functions provide a direct and effective way to mitigate the adverse effects of label noise. However, most existing robust losses are designed directly at the level of the final multiclass objective, which makes it difficult to systematically characterize and extend their robustness properties. In this paper, we propose a general framework that constructs robust multiclass losses from univariate base functions. By defining mapping operators from base functions to multiclass losses, the robustness of the induced losses can be characterized through simple properties of the base functions. We develop two complementary construction schemes, Target Separation and Binary Reduction, corresponding to inter-class independent and inter-class dependent formulations, respectively. For both schemes, we analyze their symmetry and asymmetry properties and derive corresponding sufficient conditions, which provide theoretical criteria for noise-robust loss design. The proposed framework also provides a new route to constructing symmetric losses, serving as a complement to normalization-based symmetric loss designs. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world noisy-label benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed losses achieve competitive or superior performance under various noise settings.
Abstract:With the rapid advancement of aerospace embodied intelligence, enabling Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to autonomously understand and reason about complex environments has become increasingly important. However, existing UAV-based spatial reasoning approaches face critical limitations: single-view perception renders them vulnerable to occlusions and perspective distortions, while most VLMs lack explicit geometric modeling, relying on semantic cues and yielding inconsistent reasoning under viewpoint and scale variations. To address these challenges, we propose SatAgent, a UAV-Satellite collaborative spatial reasoning model inspired by the dual-pathway mechanism of the human visual system. By jointly leveraging satellite and UAV perspectives, SatAgent enables robust, accurate reasoning in complex urban environments. We first introduce a Geometric-Aware 3D Reconstruction Encoder that elevates 2D UAV features into explicit 3D spatial representations. Next, we design a multi-view topology-semantic alignment module integrating cross-view features within a unified BEV coordinate system. We further introduce a multi-view consistency loss encouraging viewpoint-invariant representations. Finally, we construct SatAgent-SR130K, the first large-scale UAV-Satellite collaborative multi-view spatial reasoning dataset. Experiments show SatAgent outperforms state-of-the-art general-purpose foundation models and specialized spatial reasoning models by 25.91\% and 11.69\%, respectively, across diverse tasks, achieving particularly high accuracy in complex geometric relationship reasoning.
Abstract:Low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite Internet has become an indispensable infrastructure that provide growing coverage for global users. Despite extensive measurement efforts, the principles underlying region-level performance characteristics remain insufficiently understood, limiting the ability to identify region-specific latency signatures under dynamic network conditions. In this paper, we formulate the problem of region-level latency characterization using Starlink round-trip time (RTT) measurements from the public LENS dataset. We then propose a hierarchical analytical framework that transforms raw RTT sequences into multi-scale statistical features for cross-region comparison. Using data from five geographically representative regions, we demonstrate that latency differences are strongly associated with deployment factors, particularly infrastructure availability and Starlink dish-to-Point-of-Presence distance. Mutual information analysis identifies minimum RTT as the most discriminative feature, which is further supported by XGBoost-based feature importance. The proposed model well achieves 83% accuracy on short-term data. However, its performance degrades over longer periods, indicating limited temporal generalization and motivating the need for adaptive models and feature representations for long-term performance in the future.
Abstract:With the growing number of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations, the near-Earth space environment has become increasingly congested, making space object detection (SOD) a pressing challenge for space safety and sustainability. To mitigate collision risks and ensure the continuity of space operations, SOD systems must deliver fast and accurate detection under stringent onboard constraints. In this paper, we investigate the potential of multi-viewpoint observation fusion within a deep learning (DL) framework to enhance SOD performance. We design a practical multi-view pipeline and several input representations for feeding multi-view data into YOLO-based detectors. Our experiments show that using multi-view inputs is feasible in most cases and typically produces better results for mAP50 and mAP50-95. For example, in model YOLOv9-m, single-view compared to a three-view fused RGB setting, mAP50 increases from 0.638 to 0.732, while mAP50-95 improves from 0.227 to 0.276. Compared with the single-view setting, the best three-view grayscale configuration improves mAP50 by 36.3% and mAP50-95 by 46.5%. These findings establish multi-view fusion as a viable and effective strategy for SOD, with broad implications for space situational awareness in LEO constellation deployments.
Abstract:Although accelerated MRI reconstruction has advanced rapidly through end-to-end learning, deploying a single unified network that generalizes across diverse anatomies and contrasts under constrained computational resources remains challenging. In this paper, we introduce MoRE, a sparsely activated mixture-of-experts (MoE) module integrated into an end-to-end variational network. MoRE couples a shared encoder with sample-wise, unsupervised routing to activate a minimal subset of expert decoders while strictly preserving physics-based data consistency. Evaluated on the fastMRI multi-coil brain and knee datasets under 8x undersampling, MoRE achieves highly stable SSIM and PSNR performance across multi-contrast datasets. Furthermore, t-SNE visualization of the routing embeddings reveals interpretable, modality-aware expert specialization. The sparse conditional computation mechanism ensures that the architectural overhead remains modest. These results demonstrate that MoE-style capacity scaling can significantly enhance general-purpose MRI reconstruction without requiring proportional increases in computational power.
Abstract:Trusted multi-view classification aims to deliver reliable fusion for accurate predictions and has recently attracted substantial attention in both academia and industry. However, existing TMVC methods typically assume strict alignment across different views during both training and testing phases, which is often impractical in real-world scenarios. This limitation motivates us to revisit TMVC and extend it to a more challenging setting: how to mitigate the impact of view conflict (VC) during both training and inference. To tackle this setting, existing TMVC methods suffer from three critical limitations: underestimated uncertainty, misleading decisions, and overfitting to VC. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel Robust Fuzzy Multi-View Learning (R-FUML) framework grounded in Fuzzy Set Theory. Specifically, R-FUML models network outputs as fuzzy memberships to quantify category credibility and uses an entropy-based method for reliable multi-view fusion. To this end, we present a Robust Multi-view Fusion (RMF) strategy that accounts for both view-specific uncertainty and inter-view conflicts, thereby alleviating the adverse impacts of VC on decision-making. To identify and conquer VC during training, we further design a Robust Learning Against VC (RLVC) framework. RLVC isolates conflicting samples by leveraging neural networks' memory effects and then retrains the model by applying a penalty to these conflicting views. Extensive experiments across eight public datasets demonstrate that R-FUML consistently outperforms 15 state-of-the-art baselines in robustness and uncertainty estimation. The code will be released upon acceptance.
Abstract:Existing dynamic data pruning methods often fail under noisy-label settings, as they typically rely on per-sample loss as the ranking criterion. This could mistakenly lead to preserving noisy samples due to their high loss values, resulting in significant performance drop. To address this, we propose AlignPrune, a noise-robust module designed to enhance the reliability of dynamic pruning under label noise. Specifically, AlignPrune introduces the Dynamic Alignment Score (DAS), which is a loss-trajectory-based criterion that enables more accurate identification of noisy samples, thereby improving pruning effectiveness. As a simple yet effective plug-and-play module, AlignPrune can be seamlessly integrated into state-of-the-art dynamic pruning frameworks, consistently outperforming them without modifying either the model architecture or the training pipeline. Extensive experiments on five widely-used benchmarks across various noise types and pruning ratios demonstrate the effectiveness of AlignPrune, boosting accuracy by up to 6.3\% over state-of-the-art baselines. Our results offer a generalizable solution for pruning under noisy data, encouraging further exploration of learning in real-world scenarios.

Abstract:Real-world image restoration aims to restore high-quality (HQ) images from degraded low-quality (LQ) inputs captured under uncontrolled conditions. Existing methods typically depend on ground-truth (GT) supervision, assuming that GT provides perfect reference quality. However, GT can still contain images with inconsistent perceptual fidelity, causing models to converge to the average quality level of the training data rather than achieving the highest perceptual quality attainable. To address these problems, we propose a novel framework, termed IQPIR, that introduces an Image Quality Prior (IQP)-extracted from pre-trained No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) models-to guide the restoration process toward perceptually optimal outputs explicitly. Our approach synergistically integrates IQP with a learned codebook prior through three key mechanisms: (1) a quality-conditioned Transformer, where NR-IQA-derived scores serve as conditioning signals to steer the predicted representation toward maximal perceptual quality. This design provides a plug-and-play enhancement compatible with existing restoration architectures without structural modification; and (2) a dual-branch codebook structure, which disentangles common and HQ-specific features, ensuring a comprehensive representation of both generic structural information and quality-sensitive attributes; and (3) a discrete representation-based quality optimization strategy, which mitigates over-optimization effects commonly observed in continuous latent spaces. Extensive experiments on real-world image restoration demonstrate that our method not only surpasses cutting-edge methods but also serves as a generalizable quality-guided enhancement strategy for existing methods. The code is available.
