Embodied-Navigator: Point, Think, Memorize, and Align for Efficient Navigation

Although Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have significantly advanced embodied navigation, their direct deployment remains challenging, as existing methods often force VLMs into unnatural action spaces that misalign with their 2D pre-training priors, compounded by rigid reasoning schedules and inefficient memory management. To overcome these limitations, we propose TAMP-Nav, a unified framework for efficient embodied navigation. First, we introduce a Pixel-to-3D Action Formulation (Point) that reformulates navigation into 2D visual prompting. Specifically, the VLM merely selects 2D pixels, which are then projected into 3D coordinates for a low-level SLAM controller. This design naturally aligns embodied execution with the VLM's inherent 2D visual capabilities. Second, we propose an integrated Selective Reasoning and Anchor-Trajectory Memory mechanism (Think and Memorize), which dynamically triggers Chain-of-Thought and retains high-fidelity memory only at critical nodes, compressing redundant trajectories into lightweight Space-Time Indicators, thereby preserving critical historical information and enhancing spatio-temporal perception. Finally, we design an efficient Two-Level Alignment Paradigm (Align) via Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). By superimposing global outcome rewards with fine-grained process rewards, this dense supervision tightly aligns the agent's cognitive planning with physical environmental feedback, endowing the model with adaptive reasoning capabilities. Experiments demonstrate that TAMP-Nav achieves state-of-the-art performance (e.g., 66.2% SR on R2R-CE) with high runtime and sample efficiency (requiring only 90k training trajectories).

Triple Expert Learning from Noisy Labels for Semi-Supervised Vision Foundation Model Adaptation

Semi-supervised adaptation of vision foundation models (VFMs) commonly freezes the pretrained backbone and updates lightweight modules such as LoRA. However, pseudo-labels have mixed reliability, and a single LoRA adapter must absorb reliable, ambiguous, and noisy gradients in the same low-rank space. This can make VFM adaptation sensitive to pseudo-label noise. We propose \textbf{TriNoL}, a \textbf{Tri}ple-expert learning framework from \textbf{No}isy \textbf{L}abels for semi-supervised VFM adaptation. TriNoL routes unlabeled samples into three confidence regions and assigns them to three LoRA experts: a Positive Expert for high-confidence pseudo-labels, an Alignment Expert for medium-confidence ambiguous samples, and a Negative Expert for low-confidence noisy samples. The VFM backbone remains frozen, and only the LoRA experts and classifier head are updated. By separating different pseudo-label reliability regions into specialized adaptation paths, TriNoL improves robustness to noisy supervision while keeping the training cost low.

WiFo-INR: A Wireless Foundation Model Based on Implicit Neural Representations

Wireless foundation models are emerging as a promising paradigm for AI-native physical-layer design. However, existing methods typically model channel state information (CSI) as image-like discrete tensors with generic token decoders that may struggle to capture complex high-frequency variations efficiently and often produce high-dimensional, size-dependent representations. In this paper, we propose WiFo-INR, an implicit neural representation (INR)-based wireless foundation model that represents CSI as a coordinate-conditioned neural function. A Transformer encoder maps partial or coarse CSI to fixed-dimensional modulation tokens that adapt a SIREN-based decoder, and a compression autoencoder enables quantized CSI feedback. It adopts a two-stage self-supervised pretraining scheme, where mixed masking and denoising improve channel reconstruction and compression-enhanced pretraining enables accurate CSI feedback at low compression ratios. Extensive experiments demonstrate that WiFo-INR learns efficient, compact, and CSI-size-independent implicit wireless representations. Compared with existing foundation models, WiFo-INR improves channel reconstruction and CSI feedback performance while substantially reducing inference latency. It also transfers efficiently to diverse wireless tasks with minimal fine-tuning overhead and achieves zero-shot generalization to unseen CSI sizes.

Show, Don't Tell: Evaluating Spatial Cognition in Generative Pixels Rather Than LLM Text

Spatial intelligence is essential for agents to move from static semantic understanding toward interacting with the physical world. Many spatial tasks are grounded in continuous visual scenes, where locations, regions, and paths are more naturally expressed by pointing, marking, or drawing than by reporting precise coordinates or discrete textual symbols. Yet existing spatial reasoning benchmarks usually require coordinates, options, or text, creating an answer-interface mismatch for image-generation models. This makes it difficult to evaluate image-generation models under the same task semantics as text-output VLMs, despite their ability to externalize spatial judgments directly in pixel space. We propose ProVisE (Protocolized Visual Evaluation), a benchmark-agnostic framework that elicits protocol-constrained visual answers from image-generation models and parses them into structured predictions compatible with original metrics. ProVisE also includes an Agentic builder that constructs and validates task-specific protocols for new benchmarks. We further introduce SpatialGen-Bench, a curated diagnostic benchmark of 470 samples across 14 spatial subtasks, four capability levels, and diverse answer forms. We evaluate representative text-output VLMs and image-generation models in a unified setting and validate Agentic protocol construction on six external spatial benchmarks. Results show that image-generation models are competitive when spatial answers can be externalized directly in pixel space, while text-output VLMs retain a clear advantage in compositional spatial reasoning. These findings reveal complementary strengths of pixel-space expression and text-based reasoning and establish a metric-compatible testbed for studying spatial cognition in image-generation models.

HoloGeo: Mitigating Landmark Bias in Geo-localization via Evidence-Driven Reasoning

Recent advances in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have significantly improved image geo-localization, yet existing models remain susceptible to landmark bias, causing them to overlook geographical cues or form spurious correlations, ultimately resulting in inaccurate localization. To systematically investigate this issue, we first design two quantitative metrics, Bias Intensity (BI) and Bias Harmfulness (BH), to characterize the impact of landmarks exerted on model reasoning, and establish a comprehensive benchmark, LandmarkBias-3K. To mitigate landmark bias, we further propose an evidence-driven reasoning framework, HoloGeo, to improve the reliability of geo-localization. HoloGeo is supported by a high-quality dataset, BF-30k, annotated with structured multi-evidence bias-free reasoning chains. By incorporating multi-dimensional rewards, HoloGeo explicitly encourages balanced attention over diverse visual cues and achieves evidence-driven joint reasoning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HoloGeo not only maintains excellent performance on IM2GPS3K and YFCC4k but also significantly outperforms existing open-source VLMs on LandmarkBias-3K, validating its effectiveness for robust geospatial reasoning.

Locker-based Truck-Drone Routing with Integrated Considerations of Pickups, Deliveries, and No-Fly Zones

Truck-drone delivery is an emerging last-mile logistics mode combining the long-haul capacity of trucks with the flexible service capability of drones. In locker-based operations, smart lockers serve not only as temporary parcel storage facilities but also as automated drone docking and service nodes. These automated nodes support drone takeoff, landing, parcel handover, and battery replacement, thereby significantly extending the service range and operational flexibility of drone-assisted delivery networks. However, practical locker-based delivery systems face complex real-world challenges, requiring the integrated coordination of not only parcel delivery, return pickup, battery-constrained and load-dependent drone flights, but also necessary detours around restricted airspace. To address this practical and multifaceted challenge, this paper introduces a locker-based truck-drone routing problem with integrated considerations of pickups, deliveries, and no-fly zones (LTDRP-PDNF), with the objective of minimizing the total operational cost of a fleet of drone-equipped trucks. We formulate the route construction process as a Markov Decision Process and develop a two-stage deep reinforcement learning-based neural heuristic. The first stage utilizes an attention-based encoder and a Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit decoder to solve the truck-only routing problem, formulated as a capacitated vehicle routing problem. The second stage combines a policy-transfer strategy with a hybrid dispatch assignment heuristic to construct fully coordinated truck and drone routes for LTDRP-PDNF. Experiments on instances of different scales demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms metaheuristic and neural heuristic baselines in most cases while maintaining exceptionally short computation times, offering an effective, scalable solution framework under practical operational constraints.

Robust Recommendation from Noisy Implicit Feedback: A GMM-Weighted Bayes-label Transition Matrix Framework

Learning from implicit feedback in recommender systems is fundamentally challenged by pervasive label noise. While conventional denoising approaches often discard noisy instances to ensure robustness, this strategy inevitably suffers from low data utilization. Alternative methods that employ a Bayes-label transition matrix (BLTM) can leverage all available data, but their estimates tend to be biased in practical recommendation scenarios. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a Robust GMM-weighted Bayes-label Transition Matrix framework (RGBT). Our solution utilizes a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to derive instance-specific reliability scores, which systematically calibrate the BLTM estimation to mitigate bias. Theoretical analysis confirms that our approach, by leveraging the BLTM framework with GMM calibration, simultaneously ensures full sample utilization, delivers consistent estimation, and critically, achieves a significant reduction in estimation variance. Extensive experiments on multiple real-world and synthetically flipped datasets demonstrate that RGBT not only utilizes noisy samples more effectively than mainstream reliable sample-based denoising methods, but also achieves significantly superior calibration capability of the transition matrix compared to state-of-the-art transition matrix-based denoising approaches.

WiFo-MiSAC: A Wireless Foundation Model for Multimodal Sensing and Communication Integration via Synesthesia of Machines (SoM)

Current learning-based wireless methods struggle with generalization due to the fragmented processing of communication and sensing data. WiFo-MiSAC addresses this as a task-agnostic foundation model that tokenizes heterogeneous signals into a unified space for self-supervised pre-training. A shared-specific disentangled mixture-of-experts (SS-DMoE) architecture is employed to decouple modality-shared and modality-specific representations, facilitating interaction without cross-modal interference. By combining masked reconstruction with contrastive alignment, the model achieves state-of-the-art performance across downstream tasks, including beam prediction and channel estimation. Experimental results demonstrate robust few-shot adaptation and seamless integration of new modalities, positioning WiFo-MiSAC as a scalable backbone for future integrated sensing and communication systems.

Large Wireless Foundation Models: Stronger over Bigger

AI-communication integration is widely regarded as a core enabling technology for 6G. Most existing AI-based physical-layer designs rely on task-specific models that are separately tailored to individual modules, resulting in poor generalization. In contrast, communication systems are inherently general-purpose and should support broad applicability and robustness across diverse scenarios. Foundation models offer a promising solution through strong reasoning and generalization, yet wireless-system constraints hinder a direct transfer of large language model (LLM)-style success to the wireless domain. Therefore, we introduce the concept of large wireless foundation models (LWFMs) and present a novel framework for empowering the physical layer with foundation models under wireless constraints. Specifically, we propose two paradigms for realizing LWFMs, including leveraging existing general-purpose foundation models and building novel wireless foundation models. Based on recent progress, we distill two roadmaps for each paradigm and formulate design principles under wireless constraints. We further provide case studies of LWFM-empowered wireless systems to intuitively validate their advantages. Finally, we characterize the notion of "large" in LWFMs through a multidimensional analysis of existing work and outline promising directions for future research.

DSConv: Dynamic Splitting Convolution for Pansharpening

Aiming to obtain a high-resolution image, pansharpening involves the fusion of a multi-spectral image (MS) and a panchromatic image (PAN), the low-level vision task remaining significant and challenging in contemporary research. Most existing approaches rely predominantly on standard convolutions, few making the effort to adaptive convolutions, which are effective owing to the inter-pixel correlations of remote sensing images. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy for dynamically splitting convolution kernels in conjunction with attention, selecting positions of interest, and splitting the original convolution kernel into multiple smaller kernels, named DSConv. The proposed DSConv more effectively extracts features of different positions within the receptive field, enhancing the network's generalization, optimization, and feature representation capabilities. Furthermore, we innovate and enrich concepts of dynamic splitting convolution and provide a novel network architecture for pansharpening capable of achieving the tasks more efficiently, building upon this methodology. Adequate fair experiments illustrate the effectiveness and the state-of-the-art performance attained by DSConv.Comprehensive and rigorous discussions proved the superiority and optimal usage conditions of DSConv.
