Inspired by this, we introduce Multiverse, a new generative model enabling natively parallel generation.

Traditional reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms face significant limitations in handling long-term tasks with sparse rewards. Recent advancements have leveraged large language models (LLMs) to enhance RL by utilizing their world knowledge for task planning and reward generation. However, planning-based approaches often depend on pre-defined skill libraries and fail to optimize low-level control policies, while reward-based methods require extensive human feedback or exhaustive searching due to the complexity of tasks. In this paper, we propose the Progress Reward Model for RL (PRM4RL), a novel framework that integrates task planning and dense reward to enhance RL. For high-level planning, a complex task is decomposed into a series of simple manageable subtasks, with a subtask-oriented, fine-grained progress function designed to monitor task execution progress. For low-level reward generation, inspired by potential-based reward shaping, we use the progress function to construct a Progress Reward Model (PRM), providing theoretically grounded optimality and convergence guarantees, thereby enabling effective policy optimization. Experimental results on robotics control tasks demonstrate that our approach outperforms both LLM-based planning and reward methods, achieving state-of-the-art performance.

Traditional image editing typically relies on manual prompting, making it laborintensive and inaccessible to individuals with limited motor control or language abilities. Leveraging recent advances in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and generative models, we propose LoongX, a hands-free image editing approach driven by multimodal neurophysiological signals. LoongX utilizes state-of-the-art diffusion models trained on a comprehensive dataset of 23,928 image editing pairs, each paired with synchronized electroencephalography (EEG), functional nearinfrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), photoplethysmography (PPG), and head motion signals that capture user intent. To effectively address the heterogeneity of these signals, LoongX integrates two key modules.

As large language models increasingly gain popularity in real-world applications, processing extremely long contexts, often exceeding the model's pre-trained context limits, has emerged as a critical challenge. While existing approaches to efficient long-context processing show promise, recurrent compression-based methods struggle with information preservation, whereas random access approaches require substantial memory resources. We introduce REFORM, a novel inference framework that efficiently handles long contexts through a two-phase approach. First, it incrementally processes input chunks while maintaining a compressed KV cache, constructs cross-layer context embeddings, and utilizes early exit strategy for improved efficiency. Second, it identifies and gathers essential tokens via similarity matching and selectively recomputes the KV cache. Compared to baselines, REFORM achieves over 52% and 34% performance gains on RULER and BABILong respectively at 1M context length. It also outperforms baselines on -Bench, RepoEval, and MM-NIAH, demonstrating flexibility across diverse tasks and domains. Additionally, REFORM reduces inference time by 30% and peak memory usage by 5%, achieving both efficiency and superior performance.

The increasing utilization of graph databases across various fields stems from their capacity to represent intricate interconnections. Nonetheless, exploiting the full capabilities of graph databases continues to be a significant hurdle, largely because of the inherent difficulty in translating natural language into Cypher. Recognizing the critical role of schema selection in database query generation and drawing inspiration from recent progress in reasoning-augmented approaches trained through reinforcement learning to enhance inference capabilities and generalization, we introduce Cypher-RI, a specialized framework for the Text-to-Cypher task.

Accurate video forecasting enables autonomous vehicles to anticipate hazards, robotics and surveillance systems to predict human intent, and environmental models to issue timely warnings for extreme weather events. However, existing methods remain limited: transformers rely on global attention with quadratic complexity, making them impractical for high-resolution, long-horizon video prediction, while convolutional and recurrent networks suffer from short-range receptive fields and vanishing gradients, losing key information over extended sequences. To overcome these challenges, we introduce VideoTitans, the first architecture to adapt the gradient-driven Titans memory--originally designed for language modelling to video prediction. VideoTitans integrates three core ideas: (i) a sliding-window attention core that scales linearly with sequence length and spatial resolution, (ii) an episodic memory that dynamically retains only informative tokens based on a gradient-based surprise signal, and (iii) a small set of persistent tokens encoding task-specific priors that stabilize training and enhance generalization.

Meritocratic systems, from admissions to hiring, aim to impartially reward skill and effort.

Owing to their reasoning capabilities, large language models (LLMs) have been evaluated on planning tasks described in natural language. However, LLMs have largely been tested on planning domains without constraints. In order to deploy them in real-world settings where adherence to constraints, in particular safety constraints, is critical, we need to evaluate their performance on constrained planning tasks. We introduce LEXICON--a natural language-based (LEXI) constrained (CON) planning benchmark, consisting of a suite of environments, that can be used to evaluate the planning capabilities of LLMs in a principled fashion. The core idea behind LEXICON is to take existing planning environments and impose temporal constraints on the states.

Recent progress in Sign Language Translation (SLT) has focussed primarily on improving the representational capacity of large language models to incorporate Sign Language features. This work explores an alternative direction: enhancing the geometric properties of skeletal representations themselves. We propose GeoSign, a method that leverages the properties of hyperbolic geometry to model the hierarchical structure inherent in sign language kinematics. By projecting skeletal features derived from Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks (ST-GCNs) into the Poincaré ball model, we aim to create more discriminative embeddings, particularly for fine-grained motions like finger articulations. We introduce a hyperbolic projection layer, a weighted Fréchet mean aggregation scheme, and a geometric contrastive loss operating directly in hyperbolic space. These components are integrated into an end-to-end translation framework as a regularisation function, to enhance the representations within the language model. This work demonstrates the potential of hyperbolic geometry to improve skeletal representations for Sign Language Translation, improving on SOTARGB methods while preserving privacy and improving computational efficiency.

Transfer learning is a powerful paradigm for leveraging knowledge from source domains to enhance learning in a target domain. However, traditional transfer learning approaches often focus on scalar or multivariate data within Euclidean spaces, limiting their applicability to complex data structures such as probability distributions. To address this limitation, we introduce a novel transfer learning framework for regression models whose outputs are probability distributions residing in the Wasserstein space. When the informative subset of transferable source domains is known, we propose an estimator with provable asymptotic convergence rates, quantifying the impact of domain similarity on transfer efficiency. For cases where the informative subset is unknown, we develop a data-driven transfer learning procedure designed to mitigate negative transfer. The proposed methods are supported by rigorous theoretical analysis and are validated through extensive simulations and real-world applications.
