KVPO: ODE-Native GRPO for Autoregressive Video Alignment via KV Semantic Exploration

Aligning streaming autoregressive (AR) video generators with human preferences is challenging. Existing reinforcement learning methods predominantly rely on noise-based exploration and SDE-based surrogate policies that are mismatched to the deterministic ODE dynamics of distilled AR models, and tend to perturb low-level appearance rather than the high-level semantic storyline progression critical for long-horizon coherence. To address these limitations, we present KVPO, an ODE-native online Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) framework for aligning streaming video generators. For diversity exploration, KVPO introduces a causal-semantic exploration paradigm that relocates the source of variation from stochastic noise to the historical KV cache. By stochastically routing historical KV entries, it constructs semantically diverse generation branches that remain strictly on the data manifold. For policy modeling, KVPO introduces a velocity-field surrogate policy based on Trajectory Velocity Energy (TVE), which quantifies branch likelihood in flow-matching velocity space and yields a reward-weighted contrastive objective fully consistent with the native ODE formulation. Experiments on multiple distilled AR video generators demonstrate consistent gains in visual quality, motion quality, and text-video alignment across both single-prompt short-video and multi-prompt long-video settings.

SpatialForge: Bootstrapping 3D-Aware Spatial Reasoning from Open-World 2D Images

Recent advancements in Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated exceptional semantic understanding, yet these models consistently struggle with spatial reasoning, often failing at fundamental geometric tasks such as depth ordering and precise coordinate grounding. Recent efforts introduce spatial supervision from scene-centric datasets (e.g., multi-view scans or indoor video), but are constrained by the limited number of underlying scenes. As a result, the scale and diversity of such data remain significantly smaller than those of web-scale 2D image collections. To address this limitation, we propose SpatialForge, a scalable data synthesis pipeline that transforms in-the-wild 2D images into spatial reasoning supervision. Our approach decomposes spatial reasoning into perception and relation, and constructs structured supervision signals covering depth, layout, and viewpoint-dependent reasoning, with automatic verification to ensure data quality. Based on this pipeline, we build SpatialForge-10M, a large-scale dataset containing 10 million spatial QA pairs. Extensive experiments across multiple spatial reasoning benchmarks demonstrate that training on SpatialForge-10M significantly improves the spatial reasoning ability of standard VLMs, highlighting the effectiveness of scaling 2D data for 3D-aware spatial reasoning.

ProfiliTable: Profiling-Driven Tabular Data Processing via Agentic Workflows

Table processing-including cleaning, transformation, augmentation, and matching-is a foundational yet error-prone stage in real-world data pipelines. While recent LLM-based approaches show promise for automating such tasks, they often struggle in practice due to ambiguous instructions, complex task structures, and the lack of structured feedback, resulting in syntactically correct but semantically flawed code. To address these challenges, we propose ProfiliTable, an autonomous multi-agent framework centered on dynamic profiling, which constructs and iteratively refines a unified execution context through interactive exploration, knowledge-augmented synthesis, and feedback-driven refinement. ProfiliTable integrates (i) a Profiler that performs ReAct-style data exploration to build semantic understanding, (ii) a Generator that retrieves curated operators to synthesize task-aware code, and (iii) an Evaluator-Summarizer loop that injects execution scores and diagnostic insights to enable closed-loop refinement. Extensive experiments on a diverse benchmark covering 18 tabular task types demonstrate that ProfiliTable consistently outperforms strong baselines, particularly in complex multi-step scenarios. These results highlight the critical role of dynamic profiling in reliably translating ambiguous user intents into robust and governance-compliant table transformations.

V-ABS: Action-Observer Driven Beam Search for Dynamic Visual Reasoning

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable success in general perception, yet complex multi-step visual reasoning remains a persistent challenge. Although recent agentic approaches incorporate tool use, they often neglect critical execution feedback. Consequently, they suffer from the imagination-action-observer (IAO) bias, a misalignment between prior imagination and observer feedback that undermines reasoning stability and optimality. To bridge this gap, we introduce V-ABS, an action-observer driven beam search framework that enables deliberate reasoning through thinker-actor-observer iterations. We also propose an entropy-based adaptive weighting algorithm to mitigate the IAO bias by dynamically balancing the confidence scores between the policy priors and the observational feedback. Moreover, we construct a large-scale supervised fine-tuning (SFT) dataset comprising over 80k samples to guide the model to assign higher prior confidence to correct action paths. Extensive experiments across eight diverse benchmarks show that V-ABS achieves state-of-the-art performance, delivering an average improvement of 19.7% on the Qwen3-VL-8B baseline and consistent gains across both open-source and proprietary models.

How Mobile World Model Guides GUI Agents?

Recent advances in vision-language models have enabled mobile GUI agents to perceive visual interfaces and execute user instructions, but reliable prediction of action consequences remains critical for long-horizon and high-risk interactions. Existing mobile world models provide either text-based or image-based future states, yet it remains unclear which representation is useful, whether generated rollouts can replace real environments, and how test-time guidance helps agents of different strengths. To answer the above questions, we filter and annotate mobile world-model data, then train world models across four modalities: delta text, full text, diffusion-based images, and renderable code. These models achieve SoTA performance on both MobileWorldBench and Code2WorldBench. Furthermore, by evaluating their downstream utility on AITZ, AndroidControl, and AndroidWorld, we obtain three findings. First, renderable code reconstruction achieves high in-distribution fidelity and provides effective multimodal supervision for data construction, while text-based feedback is more robust for online out-of-distribution (OOD) execution. Second, world-model-generated trajectories can provide transferable interaction experience in the training process and improve agents' end-to-end task performance, although these data do not preserve the original distribution. Last, for overconfident mobile agents with low action entropy, posterior self-reflection provides limited gains, suggesting that world models are more effective as prior perception or training supervision than as universal post-hoc verifiers.

BetaEdit: Null-Space Constrained Sequential Model Editing

Null-space-based methods have garnered considerable attention in model editing by constraining updates to the null space of the pre-existing knowledge representation, thereby preserving the model's original behavior. However, in practice these methods rely on an approximate null space--leading to knowledge leakage--and further suffer from severe performance degradation during sequential editing. Recent work shows that history-aware editing strategies can empirically mitigate this decline, yet the underlying reason remains unclear. In this paper, we first expose the knowledge leakage inherent in existing null-space approaches and then analyze why history-aware updates effectively preserve both editing performance and general capabilities during long-horizon editing. Building on these insights, we propose BetaEdit, a refined framework that effectively controls the knowledge leakage and integrates history-aware updates into the null-space paradigm. Extensive experiments on three large language models across two standard benchmarks show that BetaEdit consistently outperforms prior methods in the challenging regime of massive-scale sequential editing.

SAMOFT: Robust Multi-Object Tracking via Region and Flow

Multi-object tracking (MOT) is a fundamental task in computer vision that requires continuously tracking multiple targets while maintaining consistent identities across frames. However, most existing approaches primarily rely on instance-level object features for trajectory association, which often leads to degraded performance under challenging conditions such as object deformation, nonlinear motion, and occlusion. In this work, we propose SAMOFT, a robust tracker that leverages pixel-level cues to improve robustness under complex motion scenarios. Specifically, we introduce a Pixel Motion Matching (PMM) module that integrates the Segment Anything Model (SAM) with dense optical flow to refine Kalman filter-based motion prediction using instantaneous foreground pixel motion. To further enhance robustness under unreliable detections, we design a Centroid Distance Matching (CDM) module that performs flexible mask-based centroid matching for low-confidence or partially occluded observations. Moreover, a Distribution-Based Correction (DBC) module models long-tailed motion patterns in a training-free manner using historical optical flow statistics and dynamically corrects trajectory states online. We also incorporate a Cluster-Aware ReID (CA-ReID) strategy to improve the stability and discriminative power of trajectory appearance features. Extensive experiments on the DanceTrack and MOTChallenge benchmarks demonstrate that SAMOFT consistently improves baseline trackers and achieves competitive performance compared with recent state-of-the-art methods, validating the effectiveness of leveraging pixel-level cues for robust multi-object tracking.

Forcing-KV: Hybrid KV Cache Compression for Efficient Autoregressive Video Diffusion Models

Autoregressive (AR) video diffusion models adopt a streaming generation framework, enabling long-horizon video generation with real-time responsiveness, as exemplified by the Self Forcing training paradigm. However, existing AR video diffusion models still suffer from significant attention complexity and severe memory overhead due to the redundant key-value (KV) caches across historical frames, which limits scalability. In this paper, we tackle this challenge by introducing KV cache compression into autoregressive video diffusion. We observe that attention heads in mainstream AR diffusion models exhibit markedly distinct attention patterns and functional roles that remain stable across samples and denoising steps. Building on our empirical study of head-wise functional specialization, we divide the attention heads into two categories: static heads, which focus on transitions across autoregressive chunks and intra-frame fidelity, and dynamic heads, which govern inter-frame motion and consistency. We then propose Forcing-KV, a hybrid KV cache compression strategy that performs structured static pruning for static heads and dynamic pruning based on segment-wise similarity for dynamic heads. While maintaining output quality, our method achieves a generation speed of over 29 frames per second on a single NVIDIA H200 GPU along with 30% cache memory reduction, delivering up to 1.35x and 1.50x speedups on LongLive and Self Forcing at 480P resolution, and further scaling to 2.82x speedup at 1080P resolution.

Causal Reinforcement Learning for Complex Card Games: A Magic The Gathering Benchmark

Causal reinforcement learning (RL) lacks benchmarks for complex systems that combine sequential decision making, hidden information, large masked action spaces, and explicit causal structure. We introduce MTG-Causal-RL, a Gymnasium benchmark built on Magic: The Gathering with a 3,077-dimensional partial observation, a 478-action masked discrete action space, five competitive Standard archetypes, three reward schemes, and a hand-specified Structural Causal Model (SCM) over strategic variables. Every episode exposes causal variables, SCM-predicted intervention effects, and per-factor credit traces, making causal credit assignment, leave-one-out cross-archetype transfer, and policy auditability first-class metrics. We adapt a panel of reference baselines: random, heuristic, masked PPO, a causal-world-model PPO variant, and an architecture-matched scalar control. We propose Causal Graph-Factored Advantage PPO (CGFA-PPO) as a reference causal agent that uses SCM parents of win probability as factor-aligned critic targets with an intervention-calibration loss. All comparisons use paired seeds, paired-bootstrap confidence intervals, and Holm-Bonferroni correction within pre-registered families. Masked PPO and CGFA-PPO reach competitive in-distribution win rates and exceed the random baseline; per-factor calibration trajectories and leave-one-out transfer gaps expose diagnostic structure that scalar win rate alone cannot. We release the benchmark, reference-baseline results, and full evaluation protocol openly. By coupling a strategically rich, partially observed domain with an explicit causal interface and statistical protocol, MTG-Causal-RL gives causal-RL, world-model, and LLM-agent research a shared testbed for questions current benchmarks cannot pose together: causal credit assignment under masked action spaces, structural transfer across archetypes, and SCM-grounded policy auditability.

Reinforcement Learning for Compositional Generalization with Outcome-Level Optimization

Compositional generalization refers to correctly interpret novel combinations of known primitives, which remains a major challenge. Existing approaches often rely on supervised fine-tuning, which encourages models to imitate target outputs. This token-level training paradigm fails to capture the global compositional structure required for generalizing to unseen combinations. In this work, we investigate whether compositional generalization can instead be improved through outcome-level reinforcement learning. We adopt Group Relative Policy Optimization to optimize models based on feedback on their final outputs. Within this framework, we explore both a simple binary outcome reward and a composite reward that provides additional composition feedback. Experiments on multiple compositional benchmarks show that reinforcement learning improves compositional generalization compared to supervised fine-tuning. Further analysis reveals that supervised models tend to overfit frequent training compositions, whereas reinforcement learning improves compositional generalization by reshaping the output distribution, particularly for more complex composition types.
