Reducing ANN-SNN Conversion Error via Residual Membrane Potential Alignment

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) serve as core architectures for neuromorphic computing thanks to event-driven operation and ultra-low power consumption. Direct SNN training is hindered by non-differentiable spikes that induce vanishing gradients and unstable optimization. ANN-SNN conversion circumvents such issues by reusing well-trained ANN weights for low-latency, energy-efficient inference. Nevertheless, existing conversion schemes suffer from severe accuracy drops at small timesteps, large inference delays and cumulative quantization errors, even with marginal performance loss at large $T$. To address these limitations, we first analyze flaws of conventional conversion pipelines from residual membrane potential statistics and propose a novel conversion strategy combining dynamic initial potential tuning and feature enhancement. We then introduce a regularization loss $\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{RMPD}}$ to adapt initial potential of IF neurons and mitigate systematic truncation bias from boundary aggregation. A dedicated SCR-Conv2d competitive refinement layer with grouped convolution is further built to sharpen feature discrimination, eliminate redundant spikes and stabilize encoding under tiny time windows. Integrated with the state-of-the-art QCFS baseline, our approach delivers consistent low-latency performance gains and generalizes to ReLU CNNs, ANN Transformers, and multi-threshold SNN variants. Evaluations on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100 and ImageNet verify prominent accuracy improvements at $T=2,4,8$, with negligible extra computation overhead. This work offers an effective conversion paradigm to facilitate real-world SNN deployment on neuromorphic chips.

TouchWorld: A Predictive and Reactive Tactile Foundation Model for Dexterous Manipulation

Dexterous manipulation in everyday environments requires both anticipation and reaction: a robot must predict how contact should evolve while rapidly correcting local errors caused by slip, misalignment, unstable grasping, or force mismatch. Vision and language provide semantic and geometric guidance, but they cannot reliably reveal hidden contact states such as force, slip, and contact stability. Although tactile sensing exposes these physical cues, most existing policies treat touch as a low-frequency observation stream within a monolithic action model, coupling slow task reasoning, action generation, and fast contact feedback in a single loop. We introduce TouchWorld, a predictive-and-reactive tactile foundation model for dexterous manipulation. TouchWorld uses a hierarchical policy that separates vision-language subtask planning, tactile world-model prediction, visuo-tactile goal-conditioned action generation, and high-frequency tactile residual refinement. A High-Level Planning Layer produces executable subtasks and predicts tactile subgoals; a Visuo-Tactile Goal-Conditioned Policy generates nominal action chunks; and a Tactile-Conditioned Refinement Policy performs online residual correction using recent tactile and proprioceptive feedback. By using touch as both a predictive contact reference and a fast feedback signal, TouchWorld preserves the semantic generalization of vision-language-action policies while improving local contact adaptation. Across six long-horizon and contact-rich dexterous manipulation tasks, TouchWorld achieves 65.0% success in the clean setting and 53.7% success under human perturbations, outperforming the strongest baseline by 15.7 and 18.5 percentage points, respectively.

Full-Domain Coupler: A Wireless Native Neural Backbone for Channel Representation and Deduction

Data representation is a fundamental issue in deep learning. However, as wireless data scales and deeply couples across many physical domains such as time, space, and frequency, existing wireless artificial intelligence (AI) technologies lack dedicated representation solutions. Instead, they mainly rely on stitching general-purpose networks, a tool-driven paradigm that inevitably results in structural redundancy and bottlenecks in information flow. To fill this gap, this paper proposes Coupler, a wireless native-AI neural backbone designed for representation learning of channel state information (CSI)--the pivotal data in wireless systems. Leveraging the revealed physical insights of channel tensors, Coupler decomposes representation learning into individual domains on a layer-by-layer basis, and then couples the learned domain-specific features through a dimension-staggered cascade. This full-domain interleaved learning architecture enables superior parameter efficiency and fine-grained multi-domain feature fusion. Based on this backbone, we use the complex-domain multilayer perceptrons (CMLPs) as spatial and frequency domain learners, while employing three optional mechanisms--convolution, attention, or gating--to capture temporal dependencies. This results in a series of efficient channel learning schemes with diverse functionalities and extreme lightweights, showcasing the compactness, versatility and flexibility of Coupler. We evaluate these schemes on channel deduction, a general representation task encompassing channel estimation, interpolation, prediction, and feedback. Extensive experimental evaluations validate their significant performance gains and robust applicability even for real-world measured data, demonstrating the potential of Coupler as a promising basic architecture in the design of wireless foundation models.

Synergizing Global Pattern Learning and Time Order Characterization in Mobile Channel Prediction: An RWKV-Based Approach

Owing to the potential to reduce pilot overhead and mitigate channel aging, channel prediction is emerging as an important research topic in wireless communications. Meanwhile, deep neural networks are becoming a foundational technology for high-precision prediction thanks to their excellent non-linear representation capabilities. In this paper, we conceive a task-driven prediction network, which aims to deeply synergize the following two functions: learning global patterns for shareable features across adjacent time slots and structurally encoding time order to characterize the inherent causality within the channel dynamics. To implement channel prediction accuracy, we employ RWKV (receptance weighted key value) as network backbone and adapt it to the task's specific characteristics, utilizing its deep interleaved learning architecture to extract global patterns across multiple channel samples and leveraging its unique exponential decay to characterize temporal order. These task-driven unique designs significantly improve the learning efficiency of prediction network. Comprehensive experimental evaluations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over current data-driven methods, such as long short-term memory and Transformer, in the channel prediction task, including 1.84~4.29 dB gains in normalized mean squared error and 2.6~10.5 percentage point gains in cosine correlation.

Implicit Action Chunking for Smooth Continuous Control

Reinforcement learning often produces high-frequency oscillatory control signals that undermine the safety and stability required for physical deployment. Explicit action chunking addresses this by predicting fixed-horizon trajectories but scales the policy output dimension proportionally with the horizon length, leading to optimization difficulties and incompatibility with standard step-wise interaction. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes Dual-Window Smoothing (DWS), an implicit action chunking framework for smooth continuous control. Unlike explicit methods, DWS enforces temporal coherence without expanding the action space. It uses a dual-window design: an execution window that ensures physical smoothness through deterministic modulation, and a value window that aligns temporal-difference targets over the horizon to correct critic bias caused by open-loop execution. DWS also includes a lightweight actor-side temporal regularizer based on first-order action differences to promote global continuity. This design effectively bridges the gap between temporal abstraction and reactive step-wise control. Experiments on benchmarks including the DeepMind Control Suite and industrial energy management tasks show that DWS outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) baselines. In complex vision-based autonomous driving tasks, DWS achieves smoother control, safer behavior with reduced jitter, and attains a 100% success rate.

Guiding Vector Field Generation via Score-based Diffusion Model

Guiding Vector Fields (GVFs) are a powerful tool for robotic path following. However, classical methods assume smooth, ordered curves and fail when paths are unordered, multi-branch, or generated by probabilistic models. We propose a unified framework, termed the Score-Induced Guiding Vector Field (SGVF), which leverages score-based generative modeling to construct vector fields directly from data distributions. SGVF learns tangent fields from point clouds with unit-norm, orthogonality, and directional-consistency losses, ensuring geometric fidelity and control feasibility. This approach removes the reliance on ad-hoc path segmentation and enables guidance along complex topologies such as branching and pseudo-manifolds. The study establishes a correspondence between score vanishing in diffusion models and GVF singularities and highlights representational capacity near sharp path curvatures. Experiments on robotic navigation in planar environments demonstrate that SGVF achieves reliable path following in scenarios where classical GVFs fail, underscoring its potential as a bridge between generative modeling and geometric control.

Ontology-Enhanced Knowledge Graph Completion using Large Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) have been extensively adopted in Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC), showcasing significant research advancements. However, as black-box models driven by deep neural architectures, current LLM-based KGC methods rely on implicit knowledge representation with parallel propagation of erroneous knowledge, thereby hindering their ability to produce conclusive and decisive reasoning outcomes. We aim to integrate neural-perceptual structural information with ontological knowledge, leveraging the powerful capabilities of LLMs to achieve a deeper understanding of the intrinsic logic of the knowledge. We propose an ontology enhanced KGC method using LLMs -- OL-KGC. It first leverages neural perceptual mechanisms to effectively embed structural information into the textual space, and then uses an automated extraction algorithm to retrieve ontological knowledge from the knowledge graphs (KGs) that needs to be completed, which is further transformed into a textual format comprehensible to LLMs for providing logic guidance. We conducted extensive experiments on three widely-used benchmarks -- FB15K-237, UMLS and WN18RR. The experimental results demonstrate that OL-KGC significantly outperforms existing mainstream KGC methods across multiple evaluation metrics, achieving state-of-the-art performance.

Multi-View Wireless Sensing via Conditional Generative Learning: Framework and Model Design

In this paper, we incorporate physical knowledge into learning-based high-precision target sensing using the multi-view channel state information (CSI) between multiple base stations (BSs) and user equipment (UEs). Such kind of multi-view sensing problem can be naturally cast into a conditional generation framework. To this end, we design a bipartite neural network architecture, the first part of which uses an elaborately designed encoder to fuse the latent target features embedded in the multi-view CSI, and then the second uses them as conditioning inputs of a powerful generative model to guide the target's reconstruction. Specifically, the encoder is designed to capture the physical correlation between the CSI and the target, and also be adaptive to the numbers and positions of BS-UE pairs. Therein the view-specific nature of CSI is assimilated by introducing a spatial positional embedding scheme, which exploits the structure of electromagnetic(EM)-wave propagation channels. Finally, a conditional diffusion model with a weighted loss is employed to generate the target's point cloud from the fused features. Extensive numerical results demonstrate that the proposed generative multi-view (Gen-MV) sensing framework exhibits excellent flexibility and significant performance improvement on the reconstruction quality of target's shape and EM properties.

Analogical Learning for Cross-Scenario Generalization: Framework and Application to Intelligent Localization

Existing learning models often exhibit poor generalization when deployed across diverse scenarios. It is mainly due to that the underlying reference frame of the data varies with the deployment environment and settings. However, despite the data of each scenario has its distinct reference frame, its generation generally follows the same underlying physical rule. Based on these findings, this article proposes a brand-new universal deep learning framework named analogical learning (AL), which provides a highly efficient way to implicitly retrieve the reference frame information associated with a scenario and then to make accurate prediction by relative analogy across scenarios. Specifically, an elegant bipartite neural network architecture called Mateformer is designed, the first part of which calculates the relativity within multiple feature spaces between the input data and a small amount of embedded data from the current scenario, while the second part uses these relativity to guide the nonlinear analogy. We apply AL to the typical multi-scenario learning problem of intelligent wireless localization in cellular networks. Extensive experiments show that AL achieves state-of-the-art accuracy, stable transferability and robust adaptation to new scenarios without any tuning, and outperforming conventional methods with a precision improvement of nearly two orders of magnitude.
