MinerU-Diffusion: Rethinking Document OCR as Inverse Rendering via Diffusion Decoding

Optical character recognition (OCR) has evolved from line-level transcription to structured document parsing, requiring models to recover long-form sequences containing layout, tables, and formulas. Despite recent advances in vision-language models, most existing systems rely on autoregressive decoding, which introduces sequential latency and amplifies error propagation in long documents. In this work, we revisit document OCR from an inverse rendering perspective, arguing that left-to-right causal generation is an artifact of serialization rather than an intrinsic property of the task. Motivated by this insight, we propose MinerU-Diffusion, a unified diffusion-based framework that replaces autoregressive sequential decoding with parallel diffusion denoising under visual conditioning. MinerU-Diffusion employs a block-wise diffusion decoder and an uncertainty-driven curriculum learning strategy to enable stable training and efficient long-sequence inference. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MinerU-Diffusion consistently improves robustness while achieving up to 3.2x faster decoding compared to autoregressive baselines. Evaluations on the proposed Semantic Shuffle benchmark further confirm its reduced dependence on linguistic priors and stronger visual OCR capability.

GFM4GA: Graph Foundation Model for Group Anomaly Detection

Group anomaly detection is crucial in many network applications, but faces challenges due to diverse anomaly patterns. Motivated by the success of large language models (LLMs) in natural language processing, graph foundation models (GFMs) is proposed to handle few-shot learning task with fewer labeling efforts. GFMs have been successfully applied to detection of individual anomalies but cannot be generalized to group anomalies, as group anomaly patterns must be detected as a whole and individuals in an abnormal group can look rather normal. Therefore, we propose GFM4GA, a novel graph foundation model for group anomaly detection. The pipeline is pretrained via dual-level contrastive learning based on feature-based estimation and group extraction, to capture potential group anomaly structure and feature inconsistencies. In the downstream tasks, the pipeline is finetuned in parameter-constrained and group-anomaly-proportion weighted few-shot settings, and its adaptive ability to unseen group anomalies expanded via group contexts determined by labeled anomaly neighbors. Experiments show that GFM4GA surpasses group anomaly detectors and GFMs for individual anomalies, achieving average improvements of 2.85% in AUROC and 2.55% in AUPRC.

The RoboSense Challenge: Sense Anything, Navigate Anywhere, Adapt Across Platforms

Autonomous systems are increasingly deployed in open and dynamic environments -- from city streets to aerial and indoor spaces -- where perception models must remain reliable under sensor noise, environmental variation, and platform shifts. However, even state-of-the-art methods often degrade under unseen conditions, highlighting the need for robust and generalizable robot sensing. The RoboSense 2025 Challenge is designed to advance robustness and adaptability in robot perception across diverse sensing scenarios. It unifies five complementary research tracks spanning language-grounded decision making, socially compliant navigation, sensor configuration generalization, cross-view and cross-modal correspondence, and cross-platform 3D perception. Together, these tasks form a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating real-world sensing reliability under domain shifts, sensor failures, and platform discrepancies. RoboSense 2025 provides standardized datasets, baseline models, and unified evaluation protocols, enabling large-scale and reproducible comparison of robust perception methods. The challenge attracted 143 teams from 85 institutions across 16 countries, reflecting broad community engagement. By consolidating insights from 23 winning solutions, this report highlights emerging methodological trends, shared design principles, and open challenges across all tracks, marking a step toward building robots that can sense reliably, act robustly, and adapt across platforms in real-world environments.
