PO-PDDL: Learning Symbolic POMDPs from Visual Demonstrations for Robot Planning Under Uncertainty

Real-world robot task planning must operate under both stochastic action execution and partial observability, yet constructing Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) models for real robotics domains remains difficult and labor-intensive. We introduce PO-PDDL, a symbolic formulation of POMDPs that preserves the relational structure and LLM-friendly syntax of the Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL), while explicitly modeling partial observability, stochasticity, and beliefs. Building on this formulation, we propose a demonstration-driven pipeline for learning PO-PDDL models. The proposed method reconstructs latent symbolic state trajectories from real-robot execution videos, identifies partial observability via inconsistencies between inferred states and visual observations, and learns stochastic transition and observation models accordingly. The resulting PO-PDDL domains are reusable across tasks and enable online belief-space planning under both perception and execution uncertainty. Experiments on real-world long-horizon manipulation tasks show that our method consistently outperforms existing PDDL and POMDP model-learning approaches, achieving robust task planning under uncertainty with significantly lower planning cost.

ABot-Earth 0.5: Generative 3D Earth Model

We present ABot-Earth 0.5, a generative 3D framework designed to synthesize vast, seamless 3D environments from ubiquitous, geospatially referenced satellite imagery. To achieve this, we propose a novel generative model formulated directly with the 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) representation. The model is trained on a diverse corpus of existing real-world urban reconstructions, learning to generate realistic geometry and textures. At inference, it synthesizes novel 3D scenes conditioned solely on satellite imagery at a scalable rate of under 10 minutes per square kilometer, while demonstrating exceptional realism. The framework is designed for accessibility, with integrated hierarchical level-of-detail (LOD) structures that permit real-time, interactive visualization on web-based map engines. This high-fidelity simulation sandbox effectively mitigates the sim-to-real domain gap, enabling critical downstream Embodied AI applications like closed-loop UAV navigation. By providing an ultra-low-cost and high-efficiency solution, ABot-Earth 0.5 significantly lowers the technical and financial barriers to large-scale 3D reconstruction and empowers the future of global digital earth visualization.

Progress-SQL: Improving Reinforcement Learning for Text-to-SQL via Progressive Rewards

Reinforcement learning has recently shown promise in improving large language models for Text-to-SQL generation, yet existing methods typically optimize one-shot rewards defined over a single SQL state. Such rewards provide limited guidance for iterative SQL correction and are insufficient to capture the improvement of multi-turn SQL refinement. In this paper, we propose Progress-SQL, a multi-turn reinforcement learning framework with progressive rewards for Text-to-SQL. Our approach introduces an Oracle-guided Diagnostic Tree (ODT), which abstracts SQL queries into clause-level structural profiles and produces diagnostic feedback for next-turn refinement. To provide dense and robust reward signals, we combine ODT-based structural alignment with lexical alignment and define a progressive reward that measures the improvement from the initial SQL to the final SQL. We further incorporate a progression latency reward that favors earlier correctness and an execution status reward that encourages recovery from the invalid SQL. Experiments on BIRD, Spider, and Spider robustness variants demonstrate that our method consistently improves Text-to-SQL performance across both primary and robustness evaluations.

UniAudio-Token: Empowering Semantic Speech Tokenizers with General Audio Perception

Semantic speech tokenizers have become a widely used interface for Audio-LLMs, owing to their compact single-codebook design and strong linguistic alignment. However, their focus on linguistic abstraction induces acoustic blindness, limiting their applicability beyond speech-centric tasks. We propose UniAudio-Token, a framework that empowers semantic tokenizers with general audio perception without compromising speech ability. Instead of altering the semantic paradigm, UniAudio-Token mitigates its information loss through two key innovations: (1) Semantic-Acoustic Primitives (SAP) provide structured supervision by decomposing audio into linguistic content, vocal attributes, and auditory-scene primitives; and (2) Semantic-Acoustic Equilibrium (SAE) introduces a content-aware gating mechanism that adaptively restores fine-grained acoustic details from shallow layers. Extensive evaluations show that UniAudio-Token learns comprehensive universal representations while preserving high-fidelity speech generation. When integrated with downstream LLMs, it outperforms all single-codebook baseline tokenizers on both understanding and generation tasks, effectively serving as a unified audio interface. We publicly release all our code, including training and inference scripts, together with the model checkpoints at https://github.com/Tencent/Universal_Audio_Tokenizer.

DiffSpot: Can VLMs Spot Fine-Grained Visual Differences in Web Interfaces?

Vision-language models (VLMs) have made strong progress on high-level image-text alignment, yet their ability to perceive subtle visual differences remains limited. We study this problem in rendered web interfaces, where localized visual changes are both a diagnostic test of fine-grained perception and a practical requirement for GUI agents and design tools. We introduce \textbf{DiffSpot}, a code-driven benchmark for open-ended spot-the-difference on web interfaces. DiffSpot constructs controlled image pairs by mutating a single CSS property of a target element in self-contained HTML, re-rendering the page, and recording the changed property, element, and mutation magnitude. A grounding gate retains only pairs whose rendered pixel difference is confined to the target element. The benchmark contains 4{,}400 pairs, including 3{,}900 has-diff pairs balanced across 13 CSS-property operators and three difficulty tiers, plus 500 no-diff pairs for hallucination control. Evaluating 13 frontier VLMs zero-shot, we find that even the best model identifies only $40.7\%$ of true changes, with Hard-tier Recall below $23\%$ for every model. DiffSpot further shows that difficulty is strongly property-dependent: across CSS operators, neither pixel magnitude nor CLIP distance reliably predicts Recall.

VersusQ: Pairwise Margin Reasoning for Generalizable Video Quality Assessment

Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) have shown promise for video quality assessment, but most methods still predict an absolute score for each video. Such pointwise supervision often mixes perceptual quality with dataset-specific calibration, including annotation protocols, rating habits, and score distributions. As a result, the learned scoring rule may work well within a benchmark but transfer poorly across unseen domains. We argue that relative comparisons alleviate the absolute-scale calibration bias by focusing purely on perceptual differences rather than dataset-specific rating habits. Consequently, we propose \textbf{VersusQ}, a pairwise margin reasoning framework driven entirely by direct comparisons. Specifically, VersusQ performs LMM-based comparison between two videos, reasons about their visual and temporal quality differences, and predicts a signed continuous margin that captures both the preferred choice and the degree of difference. Furthermore, to align interpretable comparison rationales with fine-grained numerical differences, we introduce Margin-Coupled GRPO, which jointly optimizes rollout-based relational reasoning and continuous margin regression. Extensive experiments on multiple public VQA benchmarks demonstrate that VersusQ achieves state-of-the-art performance, strong cross-domain generalization, and reliable fine-grained ranking under heterogeneous evaluation scenarios.

OpenCompass: A Universal Evaluation Platform for Large Language Models

In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence has undergone a paradigm shift from task-specific small-scale models to general-purpose large language models (LLMs). With the rapid iteration of LLMs, objective, quantitative, and comprehensive evaluation of their capabilities has become a critical link in advancing technological development. Currently, the mainstream static benchmark dataset-based evaluation methods face challenges such as the diversity of task types, inconsistent evaluation criteria, and fragmentation of data and processing workflows, making it difficult to efficiently conduct cross-domain and large-scale model evaluation. To address the aforementioned issues, this paper proposes and open-sources OpenCompass, a one-stop, scalable, and high-concurrency-supported general-purpose LLM evaluation platform. Adhering to the design philosophy of modularization and component decoupling, the platform boasts three core advantages: high compatibility, flexibility, and high concurrency. The core architecture of OpenCompass comprises five key components: the Configuration System, Task Partitioning Module, Execution and Scheduling Module, Task Execution Unit, and Result Visualization Module. Its workflow provides rule-based, LLM-as-a-Judge, and cascaded evaluators to adapt to the requirements of different task scenarios. Supporting mainstream benchmark datasets across multiple domains, including knowledge, reasoning, computation, science, language, code, etc., the platform offers a unified and efficient LLM evaluation tool for both academia and industry, facilitating the accurate identification of strengths and weaknesses of LLMs as well as their subsequent optimization.

Real2Sim in HOI: Toward Physically Plausible HOI Reconstruction from Monocular Videos

Recovering 4D human-object interaction (HOI) from monocular video is a key step toward scalable 3D content creation, embodied AI, and simulation-based learning. Recent methods can reconstruct temporally coherent human and object trajectories, but these trajectories often remain visual artifacts while failing to preserve stable contact, functional manipulation, or physical plausibility when used as reference motions for humanoid-object simulation. This reveals a fundamental interaction gap: HOI reconstruction should not stop at tracking a human and an object, but should recover the relation that makes their motion a coherent interaction. We introduce $\textbf{HA-HOI}$, a framework for reconstructing physically plausible 4D HOI animation from in-the-wild monocular videos. Instead of treating the human and object as independent entities in an ambiguous monocular 3D space, we propose a $\textit{human-first, object-follow}$ formulation. The human motion is recovered as the interaction anchor, and the object is reconstructed, aligned, and refined relative to the human action. The resulting kinematic trajectory is then projected into a physics-based humanoid-object simulation, where it acts as a teacher trajectory for stable physical rollout. Across benchmark and in-the-wild videos, $\textbf{HA-HOI}$ improves human-object alignment, contact consistency, temporal stability, and simulation readiness over prior monocular HOI reconstruction methods. By moving beyond visually plausible trajectory recovery toward physically grounded interaction animation, our work takes a step toward turning general monocular HOI videos into scalable demonstrations for humanoid-object behavior.

AutoVQA-G: Self-Improving Agentic Framework for Automated Visual Question Answering and Grounding Annotation

Manual annotation of high-quality visual question answering with grounding (VQA-G) datasets, which pair visual questions with evidential grounding, is crucial for advancing vision-language models (VLMs), but remains unscalable. Existing automated methods are often hindered by two key issues: (1) inconsistent data fidelity due to model hallucinations; (2) brittle verification mechanisms based on simple heuristics. To address these limitations, we introduce AutoVQA-G, a self-improving agentic framework for automated VQA-G annotation. AutoVQA-G employs an iterative refinement loop where a Consistency Evaluation module uses Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning for fine-grained visual verification. Based on this feedback, a memory-augmented Prompt Optimization agent analyzes critiques from failed samples to progressively refine generation prompts. Our experiments show that AutoVQA-G generates VQA-G datasets with superior visual grounding accuracy compared to leading multimodal LLMs, offering a promising approach for creating high-fidelity data to facilitate more robust VLM training and evaluation.

POINTS-Seeker: Towards Training a Multimodal Agentic Search Model from Scratch

While Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) demonstrate impressive visual perception, they remain epistemically constrained by their static parametric knowledge. To transcend these boundaries, multimodal search models have been adopted to actively interact with the external environment for evidence retrieval. Diverging from prevailing paradigms that merely retrofit general LMMs with search tools as modular extensions, we explore the potential of building a multimodal agentic search model from scratch. Specifically, we make the following contributions: (i) we introduce Agentic Seeding, a dedicated phase designed to weave the foundational precursors necessary for eliciting agentic behaviors; (ii) we uncover a performance bottleneck in long-horizon interactions, where the increasing volume of interaction history overwhelms the model's ability to locate ground-truth evidence. To mitigate this, we propose V-Fold, an adaptive history-aware compression scheme that preserves recent dialogue turns in high fidelity while folding historical context into the visual space via rendering; and (iii) we develop POINTS-Seeker-8B, a state-of-the-art multimodal agentic search model that consistently outperforms existing models across six diverse benchmarks, effectively resolving the challenges of long-horizon, knowledge-intensive visual reasoning.
