FSTC-Encoder: Feature--Spatial--Temporal Correlation Learning for Generalizable RF Sensing

Heterogeneous RF sensing differs substantially in feature structure, spatial layout, and temporal scale, making existing models difficult to reuse across devices, environments, and RF modalities. We propose FSTC-Encoder, which unifies heterogeneous RF representation learning through feature, spatial, and temporal correlation modeling. Structure-aware feature encoding accommodates different signal structures, set-based spatial encoding aggregates variable observations, and hierarchical temporal encoding jointly captures local variations and long-range dependencies. Across sensing tasks and modalities, FSTC-Encoder retains the same spatial--temporal backbone architecture while varying only the feature configuration and task head. Across Widar3.0, CSI-Bench, and XRF55, FSTC-Encoder achieves 92.15% mean Accuracy under multi-factor cross-domain protocols, ranks first on three of four additional sensing tasks, remains consistently strong across WiFi, millimeter-wave radar, and RFID, and reduces the cross-modality performance gap from 18.85% to 12.93% through cross-RF learning. These results demonstrate that FSTC-Encoder achieves high domain robustness, task generality, and modality extensibility.

TRACE-Memory: Public-Conditioned Retrieval and Utility-Aware Evidence Admission for Personalized Generation

Personalized generation systems retrieve user history by request--memory relevance and inject it into the model context. Yet relevant history may concern the wrong preference aspect, duplicate public information, or provide insufficient support. We argue that personal memory should be used only when it adds utility beyond a public-only response. We propose TRACE-Memory, a two-stage framework for selective personalization. Stage 1 queries for user-specific information missing from the request and public context, then retrieves a coverage-oriented candidate pool. Stage 2 admits a compact subset of source-traceable evidence units, or the empty set, according to response-level incremental utility. We progressively train the query-generation and evidence-admission policies through structured SFT initialization, reduced-space stage-wise GRPO warm-up, and nested multi-sample Joint GRPO. Across 4,500 Controlled and Natural tasks from Goodreads, Amazon Reviews, and Reddit, TRACE-Memory consistently outperforms random and lexical memory use, improves over semantic retrieval, remains competitive with frontier-LLM memory pipelines as local generator capacity increases, and conditions evidence admission on public-context sufficiency, supporting selective rather than default personalization.

CAi Copilot: Reducing Operational Workload in Molecular Design through Intent-Driven Agentic Workflows

Early-stage molecular design is an iterative process, not just a task of generating molecules. Researchers turn broad goals into design strategies, refine candidates, assess many properties, and gather evidence before synthesis and tests. AI methods can generate molecules, optimize several goals, predict properties, dock compounds, and account for synthesis. Yet these functions are spread across specialized tools. Experts must still coordinate each step, judge interim results, and integrate evidence. The central challenge is thus to turn research intent into adaptive, traceable runs grounded in scientific tools. We cast this challenge as intent-to-evidence molecular design workflow execution and present CAi Copilot, an expert-oriented agent with three linked layers. The Research Interface Layer turns intent into an executable plan. The Agent Reasoning Layer uses interim results to guide each run. The Execution Substrate supplies molecular tools, metrics, reusable utilities, and backend services. Across 45 tasks, CAi achieves the strongest overall performance, with an outcome score of 84.59, exceeding the next-best result by 18.07 points. Additional benchmarks test how CAi coordinates generation, screening, and multi-criteria evaluation, while exposing limits in long-horizon execution. These results show that CAi turns broad molecular-design intent into transparent, traceable workflows that connect interim decisions to candidate-level evidence.

What Language Does and What the Evidence Supports: A Functional Role Taxonomy and Evidence Audit of Language Grounding in Embodied Agents

Foundation models place language throughout embodied agents, but its presence does not show what it contributes or how well that contribution is grounded. This survey separates these two questions. We define five non-exclusive functional roles for language: Specification, Embodied Representation, Action Orchestration, Grounding Regulation, and Execution Coupling. For each role, we trace the path from linguistic content to its embodied consumer and identify the observations or interventions that can test the claimed responsibility. Applying this framework to the reviewed literature reveals a recurring gap between functional use and evidential support. Interpretable or revised linguistic intermediates may be incorrect, go unused, or fail to affect later behavior. Even when actions are directly conditioned on language, system-level success does not by itself isolate language's contribution. We therefore evaluate grounding claim by claim, asking whether the reported evidence supports the specific responsibility assigned to language. Using role claims rather than architectures as the unit of comparison allows us to compare modular and end-to-end embodied agents without extending conclusions beyond the reported evidence.

Learning Subspace-Preserving Sparse Attention Graphs from Heterogeneous Multiview Data

The high-dimensional features extracted from large-scale unlabeled data via various pretrained models with diverse architectures are referred to as heterogeneous multiview data. Most existing unsupervised transfer learning methods fail to faithfully recover intrinsic subspace structures when exploiting complementary information across multiple views. Therefore, a fundamental challenge involves constructing sparse similarity graphs that preserve these underlying subspace structures for achieving semantic alignment across heterogeneous views. In this paper, we propose a sparse attention graph learning (SAGL) method that learns subspace-preserving sparse attention graphs from heterogeneous multiview data. Specifically, we introduce a bilinear attention factorization scheme to capture asymmetric similarities among the high-dimensional features, which breaks the symmetry bottleneck that is inherent in the traditional representation learning techniques. A dynamic sparsity gating mechanism then predicts a feature-specific compression factor for adaptively controlling the topological contributions of neighbors. Furthermore, we employ a structured sparse projection via $α$-entmax to generate subspace-preserving sparse attention graphs for individual views. SAGL leverages these view-specific graphs to conduct sparse information aggregation, yielding discriminative representations for multiview learning tasks. In addition, we provide a rigorous theoretical analysis that bridges differentiable sparse attention and probability simplex constraints. Extensive experiments conducted on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that SAGL consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art unsupervised transfer learning approaches.

A GAN and LLM-Driven Data Augmentation Framework for Dynamic Linguistic Pattern Modeling in Chinese Sarcasm Detection

Sarcasm is a rhetorical device that expresses criticism or emphasizes characteristics of certain individuals or situations through exaggeration, irony, or comparison. Existing methods for Chinese sarcasm detection are constrained by limited datasets and high construction costs, and they mainly focus on textual features, overlooking user-specific linguistic patterns that shape how opinions and emotions are expressed. This paper proposes a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and Large Language Model (LLM)-driven data augmentation framework to dynamically model users' linguistic patterns for enhanced Chinese sarcasm detection. First, we collect raw data from various topics on Sina Weibo. Then, we train a GAN on these data and apply a GPT-3.5 based data augmentation technique to synthesize an extended sarcastic comment dataset, named SinaSarc. This dataset contains target comments, contextual information, and user historical behavior. Finally, we extend the BERT architecture to incorporate multi-dimensional information, particularly user historical behavior, enabling the model to capture dynamic linguistic patterns and uncover implicit sarcastic cues in comments. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method. Specifically, our model achieves the highest F1-scores on both the non-sarcastic and sarcastic categories, with values of 0.9138 and 0.9151 respectively, which outperforms all existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches. This study presents a novel framework for dynamically modeling users' long-term linguistic patterns in Chinese sarcasm detection, contributing to both dataset construction and methodological advancement in this field.

TRACE-Bot: Detecting Emerging LLM-Driven Social Bots via Implicit Semantic Representations and AIGC-Enhanced Behavioral Patterns

Large Language Model-driven (LLM-driven) social bots pose a growing threat to online discourse by generating human-like content that evades conventional detection. Existing methods suffer from limited detection accuracy due to overreliance on single-modality signals, insufficient sensitivity to the specific generative patterns of Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC), and a failure to adequately model the interplay between linguistic patterns and behavioral dynamics. To address these limitations, we propose TRACE-Bot, a unified dual-channel framework that jointly models implicit semantic representations and AIGC-enhanced behavioral patterns. TRACE-Bot constructs fine-grained representations from heterogeneous sources, including personal information data, interaction behavior data and tweet data. A dual-channel architecture captures linguistic representations via a pretrained language model and behavioral irregularities via multidimensional activity features augmented with signals from state-of-the-art (SOTA) AIGC detectors. The fused representations are then classified through a lightweight prediction head. Experiments on two public LLM-driven social bot datasets demonstrate SOTA performance, achieving accuracies of 98.46% and 97.50%, respectively. The results further indicate strong robustness against advanced bot strategies, highlighting the effectiveness of jointly leveraging implicit semantic representations and AIGC-enhanced behavioral patterns for emerging LLM-driven social bot detection.

Graph-based Agent Memory: Taxonomy, Techniques, and Applications

Memory emerges as the core module in the Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents for long-horizon complex tasks (e.g., multi-turn dialogue, game playing, scientific discovery), where memory can enable knowledge accumulation, iterative reasoning and self-evolution. Among diverse paradigms, graph stands out as a powerful structure for agent memory due to the intrinsic capabilities to model relational dependencies, organize hierarchical information, and support efficient retrieval. This survey presents a comprehensive review of agent memory from the graph-based perspective. First, we introduce a taxonomy of agent memory, including short-term vs. long-term memory, knowledge vs. experience memory, non-structural vs. structural memory, with an implementation view of graph-based memory. Second, according to the life cycle of agent memory, we systematically analyze the key techniques in graph-based agent memory, covering memory extraction for transforming the data into the contents, storage for organizing the data efficiently, retrieval for retrieving the relevant contents from memory to support reasoning, and evolution for updating the contents in the memory. Third, we summarize the open-sourced libraries and benchmarks that support the development and evaluation of self-evolving agent memory. We also explore diverse application scenarios. Finally, we identify critical challenges and future research directions. This survey aims to offer actionable insights to advance the development of more efficient and reliable graph-based agent memory systems. All the related resources, including research papers, open-source data, and projects, are collected for the community in https://github.com/DEEP-PolyU/Awesome-GraphMemory.

Multiview Self-Representation Learning across Heterogeneous Views

Features of the same sample generated by different pretrained models often exhibit inherently distinct feature distributions because of discrepancies in the model pretraining objectives or architectures. Learning invariant representations from large-scale unlabeled visual data with various pretrained models in a fully unsupervised transfer manner remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose a multiview self-representation learning (MSRL) method in which invariant representations are learned by exploiting the self-representation property of features across heterogeneous views. The features are derived from large-scale unlabeled visual data through transfer learning with various pretrained models and are referred to as heterogeneous multiview data. An individual linear model is stacked on top of its corresponding frozen pretrained backbone. We introduce an information-passing mechanism that relies on self-representation learning to support feature aggregation over the outputs of the linear model. Moreover, an assignment probability distribution consistency scheme is presented to guide multiview self-representation learning by exploiting complementary information across different views. Consequently, representation invariance across different linear models is enforced through this scheme. In addition, we provide a theoretical analysis of the information-passing mechanism, the assignment probability distribution consistency and the incremental views. Extensive experiments with multiple benchmark visual datasets demonstrate that the proposed MSRL method consistently outperforms several state-of-the-art approaches.

Targeted Unlearning Using Perturbed Sign Gradient Methods With Applications On Medical Images

Machine unlearning aims to remove the influence of specific training samples from a trained model without full retraining. While prior work has largely focused on privacy-motivated settings, we recast unlearning as a general-purpose tool for post-deployment model revision. Specifically, we focus on utilizing unlearning in clinical contexts where data shifts, device deprecation, and policy changes are common. To this end, we propose a bilevel optimization formulation of boundary-based unlearning that can be solved using iterative algorithms. We provide convergence guarantees when first-order algorithms are used to unlearn. Our method introduces tunable loss design for controlling the forgetting-retention tradeoff and supports novel model composition strategies that merge the strengths of distinct unlearning runs. Across benchmark and real-world clinical imaging datasets, our approach outperforms baselines on both forgetting and retention metrics, including scenarios involving imaging devices and anatomical outliers. This work establishes machine unlearning as a modular, practical alternative to retraining for real-world model maintenance in clinical applications.
