From Understanding to Action: Feedback-Grounded Policy Discovery for Generative Recommendation

Semantic-ID-based generative recommenders enable efficient next-item generation, but their item-level supervision mainly captures behavioral co-occurrence and local transitions. Large language models (LLMs) can complement these models by reasoning over heterogeneous interaction histories to understand the user's current demand. However, LLMs are not inherently trained with recommendation-specific outcome feedback, and linguistically plausible reasoning therefore does not necessarily lead to effective recommendation decisions. We term this mismatch the Understanding-Action Gap. Accordingly, we distinguish intent knowledge, which captures the user's current demand, from policy knowledge, which specifies the recommendation direction and rejection boundary under that demand. To bridge this gap, we propose a feedback-driven agent framework that first induces task-oriented intent and then discovers recommendation policies according to their incremental utility over an intent-only baseline. Candidate policies are evaluated and refined using outcome-derived feedback rather than linguistic plausibility. We further transfer the resulting intent and policy knowledge into two latent tokens of a lightweight Semantic-ID generator through dual-space relational distillation, enabling LLM-free online inference. Experiments on public benchmarks show consistent improvements over baselines, while large-scale online A/B tests achieve gains of 4.506% in Revenue and 4.621% in ADVV.

Understanding Is Done Early: A Depth Division of Labor in Large Language Models and Its Use for Unbounded-Context Memory

Transformer depth is not used uniformly: lower and middle layers build semantic representations, while upper layers increasingly specialize them for prediction. We turn this division of labor into CoMem (Comprehension Memory), which writes each context chunk only through an intermediate layer, retrieves a fixed number of cached residual states, and recomputes the query-conditioned upper layers over the resulting pack. For a fixed retrieval budget, model-side read compute and memory are independent of stored-context length. We evaluate a continued-trained Qwen3-8B base LM under a unified chat-template-free protocol. The backbone is frozen; the flagship trains only a rank-32 self-distillation LoRA on plain PG19, and we report an adapter-free arm separately. CoMem reaches 97.05 on RULER and 38.27 on LoCoMo versus 34.59 for full-context KV-Direct; the dialogue-memory advantage survives conversation-cluster resampling and an independent judge. Results on additional long-context and long-document tasks expose both the benefits of bounded retrieval and its in-window compression tax. Controlled depth sweeps show that deeper caching lowers per-query recomputation but incurs a fidelity loss that self-distillation substantially repairs. In a separate adapter-free efficiency control on an NVIDIA H20 at 128k, CoMem uses 18.26 GB rather than 89.36 GB and achieves a 7.83x prefill speedup. These results show that long-context memory can be organized along the layer axis, not only the token axis.

Compiler-Grounded Hierarchical Diagnosis for LLM-Based Triton Kernel Optimization

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled automated kernel generation and optimization, but most existing approaches rely on surface signals such as compilation feedback and profiling metrics. These signals reveal that a kernel is slow, but not why the backend compiler fails to realize a profitable optimization, especially on emerging accelerators such as NPUs. We therefore formulate kernel optimization as a progressive cross-layer diagnosis problem that links runtime symptoms to IR structure and compiler behavior before rewriting source. Based on this insight, we present our system, a compiler-grounded and hierarchical optimization framework for Triton kernels. the system escalates from lightweight pattern triage and profiling diagnosis to IR attribution and compiler-grounded analysis only when deeper evidence is needed, then proposes evidence-backed source-level rewrites. We implement the system on Triton for Ascend NPUs and evaluate it on 37 successfully converted entries from a standardized NPUKernelBench-derived Ascend 950 benchmark. Across these entries, the system attains a geometric-mean speedup of 4.35$\times$ and a median speedup of 2.73$\times$ from the initial to optimized Triton kernel; 22/37 exceed 2$\times$ and 13/37 exceed 5$\times$. The complete distribution ranges from near-baseline entries to large wins, motivating transparent reporting of the current system's scope and limitations.

SparseForge: Efficient Semi-Structured LLM Sparsification via Annealing of Hessian-Guided Soft-Mask

Semi-structured sparsity provides a practical path to accelerate large language models (LLMs) with native hardware support, but post-training semi-structured pruning often suffers from substantial quality degradation due to strong structural coupling. Existing methods rely on large-scale sparse retraining to recover accuracy, resulting in high computational cost. We propose SparseForge, a post-training framework that improves recovery efficiency by directly optimizing the sparsity mask rather than scaling up retraining tokens. SparseForge combines Hessian-aware importance estimation with progressive annealing of soft masks into hardware-executable structured sparsity, enabling stable and efficient sparse recovery. On LLaMA-2-7B under 2:4 sparsity, SparseForge achieves 57.27% average zero-shot accuracy with only $\textbf{5B}$ retraining tokens, surpassing the dense model's 56.43% accuracy and approaching the 57.52% result of a state-of-the-art method using $\textbf{40B}$ tokens. Such improvements on the accuracy-efficiency trade-off from SparseForge are shown to be consistent across model families.

DINO Eats CLIP: Adapting Beyond Knowns for Open-set 3D Object Retrieval

Vision foundation models have shown great promise for open-set 3D object retrieval (3DOR) through efficient adaptation to multi-view images. Leveraging semantically aligned latent space, previous work typically adapts the CLIP encoder to build view-based 3D descriptors. Despite CLIP's strong generalization ability, its lack of fine-grainedness prompted us to explore the potential of a more recent self-supervised encoder-DINO. To address this, we propose DINO Eats CLIP (DEC), a novel framework for dynamic multi-view integration that is regularized by synthesizing data for unseen classes. We first find that simply mean-pooling over view features from a frozen DINO backbone gives decent performance. Yet, further adaptation causes severe overfitting on average view patterns of known classes. To combat it, we then design a module named Chunking and Adapting Module (CAM). It segments multi-view images into chunks and dynamically integrates local view relations, yielding more robust features than the standard pooling strategy. Finally, we propose Virtual Feature Synthesis (VFS) module to mitigate bias towards known categories explicitly. Under the hood, VFS leverages CLIP's broad, pre-aligned vision-language space to synthesize virtual features for unseen classes. By exposing DEC to these virtual features, we greatly enhance its open-set discrimination capacity. Extensive experiments on standard open-set 3DOR benchmarks demonstrate its superior efficacy.

Hg-I2P: Bridging Modalities for Generalizable Image-to-Point-Cloud Registration via Heterogeneous Graphs

Image-to-point-cloud (I2P) registration aims to align 2D images with 3D point clouds by establishing reliable 2D-3D correspondences. The drastic modality gap between images and point clouds makes it challenging to learn features that are both discriminative and generalizable, leading to severe performance drops in unseen scenarios. We address this challenge by introducing a heterogeneous graph that enables refining both cross-modal features and correspondences within a unified architecture. The proposed graph represents a mapping between segmented 2D and 3D regions, which enhances cross-modal feature interaction and thus improves feature discriminability. In addition, modeling the consistency among vertices and edges within the graph enables pruning of unreliable correspondences. Building on these insights, we propose a heterogeneous graph embedded I2P registration method, termed Hg-I2P. It learns a heterogeneous graph by mining multi-path feature relationships, adapts features under the guidance of heterogeneous edges, and prunes correspondences using graph-based projection consistency. Experiments on six indoor and outdoor benchmarks under cross-domain setups demonstrate that Hg-I2P significantly outperforms existing methods in both generalization and accuracy. Code is released on https://github.com/anpei96/hg-i2p-demo.

FlowAct-R1: Towards Interactive Humanoid Video Generation

Interactive humanoid video generation aims to synthesize lifelike visual agents that can engage with humans through continuous and responsive video. Despite recent advances in video synthesis, existing methods often grapple with the trade-off between high-fidelity synthesis and real-time interaction requirements. In this paper, we propose FlowAct-R1, a framework specifically designed for real-time interactive humanoid video generation. Built upon a MMDiT architecture, FlowAct-R1 enables the streaming synthesis of video with arbitrary durations while maintaining low-latency responsiveness. We introduce a chunkwise diffusion forcing strategy, complemented by a novel self-forcing variant, to alleviate error accumulation and ensure long-term temporal consistency during continuous interaction. By leveraging efficient distillation and system-level optimizations, our framework achieves a stable 25fps at 480p resolution with a time-to-first-frame (TTFF) of only around 1.5 seconds. The proposed method provides holistic and fine-grained full-body control, enabling the agent to transition naturally between diverse behavioral states in interactive scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that FlowAct-R1 achieves exceptional behavioral vividness and perceptual realism, while maintaining robust generalization across diverse character styles.

Hunyuan-TurboS: Advancing Large Language Models through Mamba-Transformer Synergy and Adaptive Chain-of-Thought

As Large Language Models (LLMs) rapidly advance, we introduce Hunyuan-TurboS, a novel large hybrid Transformer-Mamba Mixture of Experts (MoE) model. It synergistically combines Mamba's long-sequence processing efficiency with Transformer's superior contextual understanding. Hunyuan-TurboS features an adaptive long-short chain-of-thought (CoT) mechanism, dynamically switching between rapid responses for simple queries and deep "thinking" modes for complex problems, optimizing computational resources. Architecturally, this 56B activated (560B total) parameter model employs 128 layers (Mamba2, Attention, FFN) with an innovative AMF/MF block pattern. Faster Mamba2 ensures linear complexity, Grouped-Query Attention minimizes KV cache, and FFNs use an MoE structure. Pre-trained on 16T high-quality tokens, it supports a 256K context length and is the first industry-deployed large-scale Mamba model. Our comprehensive post-training strategy enhances capabilities via Supervised Fine-Tuning (3M instructions), a novel Adaptive Long-short CoT Fusion method, Multi-round Deliberation Learning for iterative improvement, and a two-stage Large-scale Reinforcement Learning process targeting STEM and general instruction-following. Evaluations show strong performance: overall top 7 rank on LMSYS Chatbot Arena with a score of 1356, outperforming leading models like Gemini-2.0-Flash-001 (1352) and o4-mini-2025-04-16 (1345). TurboS also achieves an average of 77.9% across 23 automated benchmarks. Hunyuan-TurboS balances high performance and efficiency, offering substantial capabilities at lower inference costs than many reasoning models, establishing a new paradigm for efficient large-scale pre-trained models.

FilterTS: Comprehensive Frequency Filtering for Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

Multivariate time series forecasting is crucial across various industries, where accurate extraction of complex periodic and trend components can significantly enhance prediction performance. However, existing models often struggle to capture these intricate patterns. To address these challenges, we propose FilterTS, a novel forecasting model that utilizes specialized filtering techniques based on the frequency domain. FilterTS introduces a Dynamic Cross-Variable Filtering Module, a key innovation that dynamically leverages other variables as filters to extract and reinforce shared variable frequency components across variables in multivariate time series. Additionally, a Static Global Filtering Module captures stable frequency components, identified throughout the entire training set. Moreover, the model is built in the frequency domain, converting time-domain convolutions into frequency-domain multiplicative operations to enhance computational efficiency. Extensive experimental results on eight real-world datasets have demonstrated that FilterTS significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of prediction accuracy and computational efficiency.

STRGCN: Capturing Asynchronous Spatio-Temporal Dependencies for Irregular Multivariate Time Series Forecasting

Irregular multivariate time series (IMTS) are prevalent in real-world applications across many fields, where varying sensor frequencies and asynchronous measurements pose significant modeling challenges. Existing solutions often rely on a pre-alignment strategy to normalize data, which can distort intrinsic patterns and escalate computational and memory demands. Addressing these limitations, we introduce STRGCN, a Spatio-Temporal Relational Graph Convolutional Network that avoids pre-alignment and directly captures the complex interdependencies in IMTS by representing them as a fully connected graph. Each observation is represented as a node, allowing the model to effectively handle misaligned timestamps by mapping all inter-node relationships, thus faithfully preserving the asynchronous nature of the data. Moreover, we enhance this model with a hierarchical ``Sandwich'' structure that strategically aggregates nodes to optimize graph embeddings, reducing computational overhead while maintaining detailed local and global context. Extensive experiments on four public datasets demonstrate that STRGCN achieves state-of-the-art accuracy, competitive memory usage and training speed.
