AnyEdit++: Adaptive Long-Form Knowledge Editing via Bayesian Surprise

Editing complex, long-form knowledge in Large Language Models remains a significant challenge due to the difficulty of maintaining generation coherence. Existing autoregressive methods like AnyEdit alleviate length constraints but rely on Fixed-window Chunking, which disregards logical structure and compromises consistency. To address this, we present AnyEdit++, a structure-aware framework incorporating Bayes-Chunk, an adaptive segmentation mechanism that dynamically identifies semantic boundaries based on Bayesian Surprise. We underpin this approach with a theoretical framework establishing two key principles: (1) Structural Independence: we prove that cross-segment interference is minimized when anchor keys are geometrically orthogonal (a condition naturally satisfied by our surprisal-based boundaries but violated by fixed windows), and (2) Causal Locality: we demonstrate that updates injected at these semantic peaks yield strictly superior control compared to arbitrary split points. Extensive experiments across mathematical reasoning, code generation, and narrative tasks demonstrate that AnyEdit++ achieves superior performance and robustness compared to state-of-the-art baselines, validating that structural awareness is critical for effective long-form knowledge editing.

CoSPlay: Cooperative Self-Play at Test-Time with Self-Generated Code and Unit Test

Recently, Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) and Test-Time Scaling (TTS) have advanced LLM code generation through executable verification. Yet Ground-Truth Unit Tests (GT UTs) remain a bottleneck: SOTA RLVR methods require them for costly training, while existing TTS methods lose competitiveness without them. This motivates GT-free TTS, where existing methods directly use self-generated UTs to refine and select code candidates. Yet such UTs are often noisy or spuriously coupled with wrong code, and UT quality in turn cannot be validated without reliable code. The key challenge is therefore to jointly improve both. To this end, we present CoSPlay, a GT-free, training-free framework that jointly improves codes and UTs through cooperative self-play. It first explores diverse solution ideas and identifies their potential failure modes to produce discriminative UT ideas. It then uses bidirectional pass-count signals from the Code-UT execution matrix to iteratively prune or fix weak codes and refresh or replace unreliable UTs, letting the two pools co-evolve. Finally, when multiple codes remain tied at the highest pass count, it picks the final code from the largest output-consensus cluster, since correct codes agree on the same inputs while wrong codes diverge. Experiments on four challenging benchmarks show that CoSPlay on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct improves average BoN from 22.1% to 33.2% and UT accuracy from 14.6% to 78.3%, matching or surpassing the RLVR model CURE-7B. When applied to CURE-7B, it further improves BoN by 5.7%. CoSPlay also generalizes across diverse backbones and outperforms GT-free TTS baselines under comparable token budgets, with continued gains as the budget scales up. These results suggest a scalable inference strategy for competitive code generation without any GT data.

Learning to Think in Physics: Breaking Shortcut Learning in Scientific Diffusion via Representation Alignment

Physics-informed diffusion models typically enforce PDE constraints only on final outputs, leaving intermediate representations unconstrained and prone to shortcut learning under shifted boundary conditions. We introduce **REPA-P**, a teacher-free, architecture-agnostic framework that aligns intermediate features with physical states using first-principles residuals. REPA-P attaches lightweight $1{\times}1$ projection heads to selected layers, decodes hidden activations into physical quantities, and applies PDE residual losses during training. These heads are discarded at inference, introducing **zero overhead**. Across four PDE tasks, including Darcy flow, topology optimization, electrostatic potential, and turbulent channel flow, REPA-P accelerates convergence by up to $2{\times}$, reduces physics residuals by up to $66.4\%$, and improves out-of-distribution robustness by up to $49.3\%$, with consistent gains on both U-Net and Diffusion Transformer backbones. Ablations show that supervising a small set of intermediate layers captures most benefits and complements output-level physics losses. Code is available at [https://github.com/Hxxxz0/REPA-P](https://github.com/Hxxxz0/REPA-P).

Before the Body Moves: Learning Anticipatory Joint Intent for Language-Conditioned Humanoid Control

Natural language is an intuitive interface for humanoid robots, yet streaming whole-body control requires control representations that are executable now and anticipatory of future physical transitions. Existing language-conditioned humanoid systems typically generate kinematic references that a low-level tracker must repair reactively, or use latent/action policies whose outputs do not explicitly encode upcoming contact changes, support transfers, and balance preparation. We propose \textbf{DAJI} (\emph{Dynamics-Aligned Joint Intent}), a hierarchical framework that learns an anticipatory joint-intent interface between language generation and closed-loop control. DAJI-Act distills a future-aware teacher into a deployable diffusion action policy through student-driven rollouts, while DAJI-Flow autoregressively generates future intent chunks from language and intent history. Experiments show that DAJI achieves strong results in anticipatory latent learning, single-instruction generation, and streaming instruction following, reaching 94.42\% rollout success on HumanML3D-style generation and 0.152 subsequence FID on BABEL.

All Circuits Lead to Rome: Rethinking Functional Anisotropy in Circuit and Sheaf Discovery for LLMs

In this paper, we present empirical and theoretical evidence against a central but largely implicit assumption in circuit and sheaf discovery (CSD), which we term the Functional Anisotropy Hypothesis: the idea that functions in large language models (LLMs) are localised to a unique or near-unique internal mechanism. We show that a single LLM task can instead be supported by multiple, structurally distinct circuits or sheaves that are simultaneously faithful, sparse, and complete. To systematically uncover such competing mechanisms, we introduce Overlap-Aware Sheaf Repulsion, a method that augments the CSD objective with an explicit penalty on structural overlap across multiple discovery runs, enabling the discovery of circuits or sheaves with strong task performance but minimal shared structure across a plethora of common CSD benchmarks. We find that this phenomenon becomes increasingly pronounced as the number of discovered sheaves grows and persists robustly across major CSD methods. We further identify an ultra-sparse three-edge sheaf and show that none of its edges is individually indispensable, undermining even weakened notions of canonical or essential components. To explain these findings, we propose a Distributive Dense Circuit Hypothesis and provide a theoretical analysis demonstrating that non-unique, low-overlap circuit explanations arise naturally from high-dimensional superposition under mild assumptions. Together, our results suggest that mechanistic explanations in LLMs are inherently non-canonical and call for a rethinking of how CSD results should be interpreted and evaluated.

Oracle Noise: Faster Semantic Spherical Alignment for Interpretable Latent Optimization

Text-to-image diffusion models have achieved remarkable generative capabilities, yet accurately aligning complex textual prompts with synthesized layouts remains an ongoing challenge. In these models, the initial Gaussian noise acts as a critical structural seed dictating the macroscopic layout. Recent online optimization and search methods attempt to refine this noise to enhance text-image alignment. However, relying on unconstrained Euclidean gradient ascent mathematically inflates the latent norm and destroys the standard Gaussian prior, causing severe visual artifacts like color over-saturation. Furthermore, these methods suffer from inefficient semantic routing and easily fall into the ``reward hacking'' trap of external proxy models. To address these intertwined bottlenecks, we propose Oracle Noise, a zero-shot framework reframing noise initialization as semantic-driven optimization strictly confined to a Riemannian hypersphere. Instead of relying on complex external parsers, we directly identify the most impactful structural words in the prompt to efficiently route optimization energy. By updating the noise strictly along a spherical path, we mathematically preserve the original Gaussian distribution. This geometric constraint eliminates norm inflation and unlocks aggressive step sizes for rapid convergence. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Oracle Noise significantly accelerates semantic alignment and achieves superior aesthetics without black-box models. It completely mitigates Euclidean-induced degradation, establishing state-of-the-art performance across human preference metrics (e.g., HPSv2, ImageReward), semantic alignment (CLIP Score), and sample diversity, all within a strict 2-second optimization budget.

$Z^2$-Sampling: Zero-Cost Zigzag Trajectories for Semantic Alignment in Diffusion Models

Diffusion models have achieved unprecedented success in text-aligned generation, largely driven by Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG). However, standard CFG operates strictly on instantaneous gradients, omitting the intrinsic curvature of the data manifold. Recent methods like Zigzag-sampling (Z-Sampling) explicitly traverse multi-step forward-backward trajectories to probe this curvature, significantly improving semantic alignment. Yet, these explicit traversals triple the Neural Function Evaluation (NFE) cost and introduce unconstrained truncation errors from off-manifold evaluations, causing cumulative drift from the true marginal distribution. In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate that the explicit zigzag sequence is topologically reducible. We propose Implicit Z-Sampling, rigorously proving that intermediate states can be algebraically annihilated via operator dualities, physically eliminating off-manifold approximation errors. To push sampling efficiency to its theoretical lower bound, we introduce $Z^2$-Sampling (Zero-cost Zigzag Sampling). Exploiting the Probability Flow ODE's temporal coherence, $Z^2$-Sampling couples implicit algebraic collapse with a dynamically cached Temporal Semantic Surrogate. This restores the standard 2-NFE baseline without sacrificing semantic exploration. We formally prove via Backward Error Analysis that this discrete collapse inherently synthesizes a directional derivative curvature penalty. Finally, extensive evaluations demonstrate that $Z^2$-Sampling structurally shatters the performance-efficiency Pareto frontier. We validate its universal applicability across diverse architectures (U-Nets, DiTs) and modalities (image/video), establishing seamless orthogonality with advanced alignment frameworks (AYS, Diffusion-DPO).

ECHO: Edge-Cloud Humanoid Orchestration for Language-to-Motion Control

We present ECHO, an edge--cloud framework for language-driven whole-body control of humanoid robots. A cloud-hosted diffusion-based text-to-motion generator synthesizes motion references from natural language instructions, while an edge-deployed reinforcement-learning tracker executes them in closed loop on the robot. The two modules are bridged by a compact, robot-native 38-dimensional motion representation that encodes joint angles, root planar velocity, root height, and a continuous 6D root orientation per frame, eliminating inference-time retargeting from human body models and remaining directly compatible with low-level PD control. The generator adopts a 1D convolutional UNet with cross-attention conditioned on CLIP-encoded text features; at inference, DDIM sampling with 10 denoising steps and classifier-free guidance produces motion sequences in approximately one second on a cloud GPU. The tracker follows a Teacher--Student paradigm: a privileged teacher policy is distilled into a lightweight student equipped with an evidential adaptation module for sim-to-real transfer, further strengthened by morphological symmetry constraints and domain randomization. An autonomous fall recovery mechanism detects falls via onboard IMU readings and retrieves recovery trajectories from a pre-built motion library. We evaluate ECHO on a retargeted HumanML3D benchmark, where it achieves strong generation quality (FID 0.029, R-Precision Top-1 0.686) under a unified robot-domain evaluator, while maintaining high motion safety and trajectory consistency. Real-world experiments on a Unitree G1 humanoid demonstrate stable execution of diverse text commands with zero hardware fine-tuning.

Neural Electromagnetic Fields for High-Resolution Material Parameter Reconstruction

Creating functional Digital Twins, simulatable 3D replicas of the real world, is a central challenge in computer vision. Current methods like NeRF produce visually rich but functionally incomplete twins. The key barrier is the lack of underlying material properties (e.g., permittivity, conductivity). Acquiring this information for every point in a scene via non-contact, non-invasive sensing is a primary goal, but it demands solving a notoriously ill-posed physical inversion problem. Standard remote signals, like images and radio frequencies (RF), deeply entangle the unknown geometry, ambient field, and target materials. We introduce NEMF, a novel framework for dense, non-invasive physical inversion designed to build functional digital twins. Our key insight is a systematic disentanglement strategy. NEMF leverages high-fidelity geometry from images as a powerful anchor, which first enables the resolution of the ambient field. By constraining both geometry and field using only non-invasive data, the original ill-posed problem transforms into a well-posed, physics-supervised learning task. This transformation unlocks our core inversion module: a decoder. Guided by ambient RF signals and a differentiable layer incorporating physical reflection models, it learns to explicitly output a continuous, spatially-varying field of the scene's underlying material parameters. We validate our framework on high-fidelity synthetic datasets. Experiments show our non-invasive inversion reconstructs these material maps with high accuracy, and the resulting functional twin enables high-fidelity physical simulation. This advance moves beyond passive visual replicas, enabling the creation of truly functional and simulatable models of the physical world.

AutoFly: Vision-Language-Action Model for UAV Autonomous Navigation in the Wild

Vision-language navigation (VLN) requires intelligent agents to navigate environments by interpreting linguistic instructions alongside visual observations, serving as a cornerstone task in Embodied AI. Current VLN research for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) relies on detailed, pre-specified instructions to guide the UAV along predetermined routes. However, real-world outdoor exploration typically occurs in unknown environments where detailed navigation instructions are unavailable. Instead, only coarse-grained positional or directional guidance can be provided, requiring UAVs to autonomously navigate through continuous planning and obstacle avoidance. To bridge this gap, we propose AutoFly, an end-to-end Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model for autonomous UAV navigation. AutoFly incorporates a pseudo-depth encoder that derives depth-aware features from RGB inputs to enhance spatial reasoning, coupled with a progressive two-stage training strategy that effectively aligns visual, depth, and linguistic representations with action policies. Moreover, existing VLN datasets have fundamental limitations for real-world autonomous navigation, stemming from their heavy reliance on explicit instruction-following over autonomous decision-making and insufficient real-world data. To address these issues, we construct a novel autonomous navigation dataset that shifts the paradigm from instruction-following to autonomous behavior modeling through: (1) trajectory collection emphasizing continuous obstacle avoidance, autonomous planning, and recognition workflows; (2) comprehensive real-world data integration. Experimental results demonstrate that AutoFly achieves a 3.9% higher success rate compared to state-of-the-art VLA baselines, with consistent performance across simulated and real environments.
