SkillZip: Contract-Preserving Graph Compression for Scalable Agent Skill Libraries

Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly act as agents whose procedural knowledge is stored in reusable skill packages and loaded at inference time. As skill libraries grow, a central challenge is to expose the smallest sufficient executable context under a limited context budget. Existing systems struggle to reuse routines below the whole-skill level, preserve procedural contracts during compression, keep compressed routines executable and expandable, and update the compressed library as skills evolve. These challenges reveal a unit mismatch: skills are retrieved as packages, compressed as text, and converted into execution graphs only after retrieval, whereas reliable reuse requires a contract-bearing procedural unit. We propose SkillZip, an execution-aware procedural abstraction framework that performs contract-preserving compression over section-level graphs. SkillZip rewrites recurring contract-valid motifs into reversible ported macros while preserving boundary signatures, dependency closure, verifier reachability, and source-level expansion. At inference time, it hydrates a compact, dependency-closed context and expands macros only when required. ReZip further integrates new skills and revises risky macros using execution evidence. Comprehensive experiments1 on technical and embodied agent benchmarks show SkillZip consistently outperforms the strongest baseline by up to 12.2 points, while achieving a 3.46x compression ratio with 99.2% dependency preservation and 98.7% verifier reachability. Scaling analyses further confirm robust retrieval across skill libraries ranging from 200 to 100K skills.

Interpretable Column Annotation with LLM-Symbolized Decision Process Materialization

Column annotation (CA), including column type annotation (CTA) and column property annotation (CPA), aims to identify the meanings of table columns and the semantic relationships among them. Recent CA methods usually use various neural models to learn column representations and directly map them to label categories, thereby (1) sacrificing model interpretability and adaptivity, and (2) overlooking rich label semantics and ultimately limiting accuracy. To address these limitations, we propose SymCA, an LLM-empowered interpretable CA framework that materializes column annotation as a global-to-local symbolic decision process. SymCA consists of two components: (1) global skeleton induction, which constructs a semantic skeleton over the label space, and (2) local substrate evolution, which evolves predictive substrates within the skeleton. Specifically, to exploit label semantics while preserving an interpretable decision process, the global skeleton induction module leverages LLMs to generate candidate hypernym-inspired tree-structured semantic skeletons and employs a Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR)-based consensus strategy to select a robust skeleton against generation variance. Since different internal nodes require different evidence to distinguish among their child nodes, the local substrate evolution module materializes each internal node as an executable and evolvable predictive substrate. Over multiple evolution rounds, each substrate trains an interpretable random forest classifier with the current operator set, leverages the LLM to propose node-specific operator modifications, and uses an exploration-exploitation strategy to prioritize promising substrates. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SymCA is accurate, robust, and interpretable, outperforming the strongest baselines by an average of 6.42% in Micro-F1 and 11.03% in Macro-F1.

Physics-Informed Structure Anchoring With Capture-Aware Prototype Calibration for Cross-Environment RF Fingerprinting

Radio frequency fingerprint identification (RFFI) exploits transmitter-specific hardware imperfections as physicallayer identity cues for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, but deep models often degrade across acquisition environments. In multi-antenna reception, antenna topology and frequencyoffset dynamics structure receiver observations, while capturedependent variation distorts target embeddings and misaligns source-trained decision boundaries. This article proposes physicsinformed structure anchoring with capture-aware prototype calibration (PISA-CAPC) to address both representation and decision mismatches. The two stages separate source representation construction from target decision correction. During source training, PISA organizes antenna tokens through a topology-guided graph, conditions propagation on CFO-derived acquisition dynamics, and applies bounded contextual residual suppression to preserve identity evidence. At deployment, unlabeled capture-aware prototype calibration (U-CAPC) estimates capture-local prototypes and recalibrates target decision scores while keeping the representation and source classifier fixed. Thus, calibration uses neither target labels nor target-domain backbone updates. On a measured WiFi benchmark with four receive antennas and ten transmitters, PISA-CAPC achieves a mean target-domain Macro-F1 of 0.9257 under a balanced transductive setting. Component ablations support complementary roles for topology-guided anchoring, CFO-conditioned modulation, reliability-aware token aggregation, contextual suppression, and capture-aware calibration. These results indicate that physically motivated representation learning can be combined with labelfree decision calibration to improve cross-environment RFFI under the evaluated protocol without changing the deployed backbone.

Enhancing Large Multimodal Models in Key Information Extraction via Scene-Aware Document Synthesis

Key Information Extraction (KIE) converts visually rich documents into structured data, but practical deployment remains challenging: strong performance often relies on costly on-server Large Multimodal Models (LMMs), while compact locally deployable models lack sufficient KIE supervision. We present SAYRE, a scene-aware document synthesis framework for generating scalable KIE training data without hand-crafted template design. Given a few exemplar documents, SAYRE captures category-specific content patterns and layout conventions to synthesize document-schema-annotation triples. It further introduces error-driven generation, which expands real-world failure cases into hard training examples while preserving their structural patterns. Experiments on constrained- and open-category KIE show that SAYRE consistently improves Qwen3-VL backbones and achieves the strongest overall performance among on-device LMMs. Data scaling experiments show an overall upward trend as more synthesized data is introduced, especially for smaller models and open-category extraction. Error analysis further shows that synthesized training reduces field-level errors by improving schema-aware extraction over dense tables, business identifiers, and contract clauses. These results establish scene-aware synthesis as an effective data-centric approach for improving practical multimodal KIE.

CRODA-ST: Single-Target Cross-Receiver Open-Set Radio Fingerprint Recognition

Radio frequency fingerprint identification (RFFI) provides a physical-layer credential for Internet of Things devices, but open-set decisions become fragile when a threshold calibrated on a source receiver is transferred to a target receiver. Receiver shift can lower the confidence of known transmitters and cause false rejection; closed-set alignment can have the opposite effect by pulling unseen target transmitters into known regions and increasing false acceptance. This letter presents CRODA-ST, a structure-first adaptation framework for singlesource single-target cross-receiver open-set RFFI. Its two components target the bottlenecks behind unreliable source-calibrated rejection: Discriminative Structure Anchoring (DSA) restores target-receiver known-class references from limited labeled target enrollment samples, and Rejection-Oriented Alignment (ROA) reduces receiver-sensitive confidence fluctuations around the anchored structure. On the WiSig ManyTx dataset, CRODA-ST reaches 0.9092 known-class accuracy, 0.9692 AUROC, and 0.9580 OSCR. Score-sweep analysis further reduces FPR90 to 0.0469.

Weaving Multi-Source Evidence for Biomedical Reasoning: The BioMedHop Benchmark and BioWeave Framework

Biomedical question answering (QA) increasingly requires reasoning over interacting entities, where supporting evidence is scattered across biomedical knowledge graphs, literature documents, and web-accessible resources. However, existing biomedical QA benchmarks mainly focus on exam-style knowledge, literature comprehension, or short-range multi-hop inference, leaving source-conditioned graph reasoning and evidence topology construction underexplored. To fill this gap, we introduce BioMedHop, a multi-source graph-grounded benchmark for evaluating biomedical reasoning over structured evidence topologies. BioMedHop contains 10,045 instances across KG, document, web, and hybrid evidence settings, covering shared-neighbor matching, intersection reasoning, path-based reasoning, and counting, with option-based, open-ended, and numeric count renderings. To support this benchmark, we further propose BioWeave, a source-aware reasoning framework that retrieves biomedical KG paths, gathers supporting clues from documents and web sources, assembles them into a unified evidence graph, and verifies answers through entity-level evidence support. Comprehensive experiments show that BioWeave achieves the best overall performance among compared methods on BioMedHop, outperforming the strong hybrid baseline ToG-2 by 10.5% in the overall average. Moreover, BioWeave consistently improves different LLM backbones and enables smaller models, such as Qwen3-4B, to achieve reasoning performance comparable to GPT-4-Turbo.

Multi-domain Multi-modal Document Classification Benchmark with a Multi-level Taxonomy

Document classification forms the backbone of modern enterprise content management, yet existing benchmarks remain trapped in oversimplified paradigms -- single domain settings with flat label structures -- that bear little resemblance to the hierarchical, multi-modal, and cross-domain nature of real-world business documents. This gap not only misrepresents practical complexity but also stifles progress toward industrially viable document intelligence. To bridge this gap, we construct the first Multi-level, Multi-domain, Multi-modal document classification Benchmark (MMM-Bench). MMM-Bench includes (1) a deeply hierarchical taxonomy spanning five levels that capture the authentic organizational logic of business documentation; and (2) 5,990 real-world multi-modal documents meticulously curated from 12 commercial domains in Alibaba. Each document is manually annotated with a complete hierarchical path by domain experts. We establish comprehensive baselines on MMM-Bench, which consists of open-weight models and API-based models. Through systematic experiments, we identify four fundamental challenges within MMM-Bench and propose corresponding insights. To provide a solid foundation for advancing research in multi-level, multi-domain document classification, we release all of the data and the evaluation toolkit of MMM-Bench at https://github.com/MMMDC-Bench/MMMDC-Bench.

FairEnc: A Fair Vision-Language Model with Fair Vision and Text Encoders for Glaucoma Detection

Automated glaucoma detection is critical for preventing irreversible vision loss and reducing the burden on healthcare systems. However, ensuring fairness across diverse patient populations remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose FairEnc, a fair pretraining method for vision-language models (VLMs) that enables simultaneous debiasing across multiple sensitive attributes. FairEnc jointly mitigates biases in both textual and visual modalities with respect to multiple sensitive attributes, including race, gender, ethnicity, and language. Specifically, for the textual encoder, we leverage a large language model to generate synthetic clinical descriptions with varied sensitive attributes while preserving disease semantics, and employ a contrastive alignment objective to encourage demographic-invariant representations. For the visual encoder, we propose a dual-level fairness strategy that combines mutual information regularization to reduce statistical dependence between learned features and demographic groups, with multi-discriminator adversarial debiasing. Comprehensive experiments on the publicly available Harvard-FairVLMed dataset demonstrate that FairEnc effectively reduces demographic disparity as measured by DPD and DEOdds while achieving strong diagnostic performance under both zero-shot and linear probing evaluations. Additional experiments on the private FairFundus dataset show that FairEnc consistently preserves fairness advantages under cross-domain and cross-modality settings and maintains diagnostic performance within a competitive range. These results highlight FairEnc's ability to generalize fairness under distribution shifts, supporting its potential for more equitable deployment in real-world clinical settings. Our codebase and synthetic clinical notes are available at https://github.com/Mohamed-Elhabebe/FairEnc

CC-OCR V2: Benchmarking Large Multimodal Models for Literacy in Real-world Document Processing

Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have recently shown strong performance on Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tasks, demonstrating their promising capability in document literacy. However, their effectiveness in real-world applications remains underexplored, as existing benchmarks adopt task scopes misaligned with practical applications and assume homogeneous acquisition conditions. To address this gap, we introduce CC-OCR V2, a comprehensive and challenging OCR benchmark tailored to real-world document processing. CC-OCR V2 focuses on practical enterprise document processing tasks and incorporates hard and corner cases that are critical yet underrepresented in prior benchmarks, covering 5 major OCR-centric tracks: text recognition, document parsing, document grounding, key information extraction, and document question answering, comprising 7,093 high-difficulty samples. Extensive experiments on 14 advanced LMMs reveal that current models fall short of real-world application requirements. Even state-of-the-art LMMs exhibit substantial performance degradation across diverse tasks and scenarios. These findings reveal a significant gap between performance on current benchmarks and effectiveness in real-world applications. We release the full dataset and evaluation toolkit at https://github.com/eioss/CC-OCR-V2.

AlbumFill: Album-Guided Reasoning and Retrieval for Personalized Image Completion

Personalized image completion aims to restore occluded regions in personal photos while preserving identity and appearance. Existing methods either rely on generic inpainting models that often fail to maintain identity consistency, or assume that suitable reference images are explicitly provided. In practice, suitable references are often not explicitly provided, requiring the system to search for identity-consistent images within personal photo collections. We present AlbumFill, a training-free framework that retrieves identity-consistent references from personal albums for personalized completion. Given an occluded image and a personal album, a vision-language model infers missing semantic cues to guide composed image retrieval, and the retrieved references are used by reference-based completion models. To facilitate this task, we introduce a dataset containing 54K human-centric samples with associated album images. Experiments across multiple baselines demonstrate the difficulty of personalized completion and highlight the importance of identity-consistent reference retrieval.
