SpecSteer: Synergizing Local Context and Global Reasoning for Efficient Personalized Generation

Realizing personalized intelligence faces a core dilemma: sending user history to centralized large language models raises privacy concerns, while on-device small language models lack the reasoning capacity required for high-quality generation. Our pilot study shows that purely local enhancements remain insufficient to reliably bridge this gap. We therefore propose SpecSteer, an asymmetric collaborative inference framework that synergizes private on-device context with cloud-scale reasoning. SpecSteer casts collaboration as Bayesian knowledge fusion and repurposes speculative decoding as a distributed alignment protocol, yielding a Draft--Verify--Recover pipeline: the on-device model drafts personalized sequences; the cloud validates via a ratio-based mechanism that decouples reasoning verification from private context, filtering logical flaws without accessing raw user context; upon rejection, a steering recovery injects local intent during correction. Experiments demonstrate that SpecSteer successfully closes the reasoning gap and achieves superior personalized generation performance, while delivering a 2.36x speedup over standard baselines.

Rethinking Mutual Coupling in Movable Antenna MIMO Systems

Movable antenna (MA) systems have emerged as a promising technology for future wireless communication systems. The movement of antennas gives rise to mutual coupling (MC) effects, which have been previously ignored and can be exploited to enhance the capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. To this end, we first model an MA-enabled point-to-point MIMO communication system with MC effects using a circuit-theoretic framework. The capacity maximization problem is then formulated as a non-concave optimization problem and solved via a block coordinate ascent (BCA)-based algorithm. The subproblem of optimizing MA positions is challenging due to the presence of the analytically intractable MC matrices. To overcome this difficulty, we develop a trust region method (TRM)-based algorithm to optimize MA positions, wherein Sylvester equations are employed to compute the derivatives of the inverse square roots of the MC matrices. Simulation results show significant capacity gains from leveraging MC effects, primarily due to customizable MC matrices and superdirectivity.

GuiDINO: Rethinking Vision Foundation Model in Medical Image Segmentation

Foundation vision models are increasingly adopted in medical image analysis. Due to domain shift, these pretrained models misalign with medical image segmentation needs without being fully fine-tuned or lightly adapted. We introduce GuiDINO, a framework that repositions native foundation model to acting as a visual guidance generator for downstream segmentation. GuiDINO extracts visual feature representation from DINOv3 and converts them into a spatial guide mask via a lightweight TokenBook mechanism, which aggregates token-prototype similarities. This guide mask gates feature activations in multiple segmentation backbones, thereby injecting foundation-model priors while preserving the inductive biases and efficiency of medical dedicated architectures. Training relies on a guide supervision objective loss that aligns the guide mask to ground-truth regions, optionally augmented by a boundary-focused hinge loss to sharpen fine structures. GuiDINO also supports parameter-efficient adaptation through LoRA on the DINOv3 guide backbone. Across diverse medical datasets and nnUNet-style inference, GuiDINO consistently improves segmentation quality and boundary robustness, suggesting a practical alternative to fine-tuning and offering a new perspective on how foundation models can best serve medical vision.

WirelessAgent++: Automated Agentic Workflow Design and Benchmarking for Wireless Networks

The integration of large language models (LLMs) into wireless networks has sparked growing interest in building autonomous AI agents for wireless tasks. However, existing approaches rely heavily on manually crafted prompts and static agentic workflows, a process that is labor-intensive, unscalable, and often suboptimal. In this paper, we propose WirelessAgent++, a framework that automates the design of agentic workflows for various wireless tasks. By treating each workflow as an executable code composed of modular operators, WirelessAgent++ casts agent design as a program search problem and solves it with a domain-adapted Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm. Moreover, we establish WirelessBench, a standardized multi-dimensional benchmark suite comprising Wireless Communication Homework (WCHW), Network Slicing (WCNS), and Mobile Service Assurance (WCMSA), covering knowledge reasoning, code-augmented tool use, and multi-step decision-making. Experiments demonstrate that \wap{} autonomously discovers superior workflows, achieving test scores of $78.37\%$ (WCHW), $90.95\%$ (WCNS), and $97.07\%$ (WCMSA), with a total search cost below $\$ 5$ per task. Notably, our approach outperforms state-of-the-art prompting baselines by up to $31\%$ and general-purpose workflow optimizers by $11.1\%$, validating its effectiveness in generating robust, self-evolving wireless agents.

FuXi-Linear: Unleashing the Power of Linear Attention in Long-term Time-aware Sequential Recommendation

Modern recommendation systems primarily rely on attention mechanisms with quadratic complexity, which limits their ability to handle long user sequences and slows down inference. While linear attention is a promising alternative, existing research faces three critical challenges: (1) temporal signals are often overlooked or integrated via naive coupling that causes mutual interference between temporal and semantic signals while neglecting behavioral periodicity; (2) insufficient positional information provided by existing linear frameworks; and (3) a primary focus on short sequences and shallow architectures. To address these issues, we propose FuXi-Linear, a linear-complexity model designed for efficient long-sequence recommendation. Our approach introduces two key components: (1) a Temporal Retention Channel that independently computes periodic attention weights using temporal data, preventing crosstalk between temporal and semantic signals; (2) a Linear Positional Channel that integrates positional information through learnable kernels within linear complexity. Moreover, we demonstrate that FuXi-Linear exhibits a robust power-law scaling property at a thousand-length scale, a characteristic largely unexplored in prior linear recommendation studies. Extensive experiments on sequences of several thousand tokens demonstrate that FuXi-Linear outperforms state-of-the-art models in recommendation quality, while achieving up to 10$\times$ speedup in the prefill stage and up to 21$\times$ speedup in the decode stage compared to competitive baselines. Our code has been released in a public repository https://github.com/USTC-StarTeam/fuxi-linear.

Generative Data Transformation: From Mixed to Unified Data

Recommendation model performance is intrinsically tied to the quality, volume, and relevance of their training data. To address common challenges like data sparsity and cold start, recent researchs have leveraged data from multiple auxiliary domains to enrich information within the target domain. However, inherent domain gaps can degrade the quality of mixed-domain data, leading to negative transfer and diminished model performance. Existing prevailing \emph{model-centric} paradigm -- which relies on complex, customized architectures -- struggles to capture the subtle, non-structural sequence dependencies across domains, leading to poor generalization and high demands on computational resources. To address these shortcomings, we propose \textsc{Taesar}, a \emph{data-centric} framework for \textbf{t}arget-\textbf{a}lign\textbf{e}d \textbf{s}equenti\textbf{a}l \textbf{r}egeneration, which employs a contrastive decoding mechanism to adaptively encode cross-domain context into target-domain sequences. It employs contrastive decoding to encode cross-domain context into target sequences, enabling standard models to learn intricate dependencies without complex fusion architectures. Experiments show \textsc{Taesar} outperforms model-centric solutions and generalizes to various sequential models. By generating enriched datasets, \textsc{Taesar} effectively combines the strengths of data- and model-centric paradigms. The code accompanying this paper is available at~ \textcolor{blue}{https://github.com/USTC-StarTeam/Taesar}.

Unlearning Noise in PINNs: A Selective Pruning Framework for PDE Inverse Problems

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) provide a promising framework for solving inverse problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) by integrating observational data and physical constraints in a unified optimization objective. However, the ill-posed nature of PDE inverse problems makes them highly sensitive to noise. Even a small fraction of corrupted observations can distort internal neural representations, severely impairing accuracy and destabilizing training. Motivated by recent advances in machine unlearning and structured network pruning, we propose P-PINN, a selective pruning framework designed to unlearn the influence of corrupted data in a pretrained PINN. Specifically, starting from a PINN trained on the full dataset, P-PINN evaluates a joint residual--data fidelity indicator, a weighted combination of data misfit and PDE residuals, to partition the training set into reliable and corrupted subsets. Next, we introduce a bias-based neuron importance measure that quantifies directional activation discrepancies between the two subsets, identifying neurons whose representations are predominantly driven by corrupted samples. Building on this, an iterative pruning strategy then removes noise-sensitive neurons layer by layer. The resulting pruned network is fine-tuned on the reliable data subject to the original PDE constraints, acting as a lightweight post-processing stage rather than a complete retraining. Numerical experiments on extensive PDE inverse-problem benchmarks demonstrate that P-PINN substantially improves robustness, accuracy, and training stability under noisy conditions, achieving up to a 96.6\% reduction in relative error compared with baseline PINNs. These results indicate that activation-level post hoc pruning is a promising mechanism for enhancing the reliability of physics-informed learning in noise-contaminated settings.

The Next Paradigm Is User-Centric Agent, Not Platform-Centric Service

Modern digital services have evolved into indispensable tools, driving the present large-scale information systems. Yet, the prevailing platform-centric model, where services are optimized for platform-driven metrics such as engagement and conversion, often fails to align with users' true needs. While platform technologies have advanced significantly-especially with the integration of large language models (LLMs)-we argue that improvements in platform service quality do not necessarily translate to genuine user benefit. Instead, platform-centric services prioritize provider objectives over user welfare, resulting in conflicts against user interests. This paper argues that the future of digital services should shift from a platform-centric to a user-centric agent. These user-centric agents prioritize privacy, align with user-defined goals, and grant users control over their preferences and actions. With advancements in LLMs and on-device intelligence, the realization of this vision is now feasible. This paper explores the opportunities and challenges in transitioning to user-centric intelligence, presents a practical device-cloud pipeline for its implementation, and discusses the necessary governance and ecosystem structures for its adoption.

Can Recommender Systems Teach Themselves? A Recursive Self-Improving Framework with Fidelity Control

The scarcity of high-quality training data presents a fundamental bottleneck to scaling machine learning models. This challenge is particularly acute in recommendation systems, where extreme sparsity in user interactions leads to rugged optimization landscapes and poor generalization. We propose the Recursive Self-Improving Recommendation (RSIR) framework, a paradigm in which a model bootstraps its own performance without reliance on external data or teacher models. RSIR operates in a closed loop: the current model generates plausible user interaction sequences, a fidelity-based quality control mechanism filters them for consistency with user's approximate preference manifold, and a successor model is augmented on the enriched dataset. Our theoretical analysis shows that RSIR acts as a data-driven implicit regularizer, smoothing the optimization landscape and guiding models toward more robust solutions. Empirically, RSIR yields consistent, cumulative gains across multiple benchmarks and architectures. Notably, even smaller models benefit, and weak models can generate effective training curricula for stronger ones. These results demonstrate that recursive self-improvement is a general, model-agnostic approach to overcoming data sparsity, suggesting a scalable path forward for recommender systems and beyond.

ABot-N0 utilizes a hierarchical ``Brain-Action'' architecture, pairing an LLM-based Cognitive Brain for semantic reasoning with a Flow Matching-based Action Expert for precise, continuous trajectory generation. To support large-scale learning, we developed the ABot-N0 Data Engine, curating 16.9M expert trajectories and 5.0M reasoning samples across 7,802 high-fidelity 3D scenes (10.7 $\text{km}^2$). ABot-N0 achieves new SOTA performance across 7 benchmarks, significantly outperforming specialized models. Furthermore, our Agentic Navigation System integrates a planner with hierarchical topological memory, enabling robust, long-horizon missions in dynamic real-world environments.
