In real-world applications, node features in graphs often contain noise from various sources, leading to significant performance degradation in GNNs. Although several methods have been developed to enhance robustness, they rely on the unrealistic assumption that noise in node features is independent of the graph structure and node labels, thereby limiting their applicability. To this end, we introduce a more realistic noise scenario, dependency-aware noise on graphs (DANG), where noise in node features create a chain of noise dependencies that propagates to the graph structure and node labels. We propose a novel robust GNN, DA-GNN, which captures the causal relationships among variables in the data generating process (DGP) of DANG using variational inference. In addition, we present new benchmark datasets that simulate DANG in real-world applications, enabling more practical research on robust GNNs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DA-GNN consistently outperforms existing baselines across various noise scenarios, including both DANG and conventional noise models commonly considered in this field.

This study proposes PDFuse, a robust, general training-free image fusion framework built on pre-trained latent diffusion models with projection-manifold regularization. By redefining fusion as a diffusion inference process constrained by multiple source images, PDFuse can adapt to varied image modalities and produce high-fidelity outputs utilizing the diffusion prior. To ensure both source consistency and full utilization of generative priors, we develop novel projection-manifold regularization, which consists of two core mechanisms. On the one hand, the Multisource Information Consistency Projection (MICP) establishes a projection system between diffusion latent representations and source images, solved efficiently via conjugate gradients to inject multi-source information into the inference. On the other hand, the Latent Manifold-preservation Guidance (LMG) aligns the latent distribution of diffusion variables with that of the sources, guiding generation to respect the model's manifold prior.

"You would not believe the texts I got from these tech guys," NYT reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan quote Donald Trump as telling associates in an upcoming book. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sought to ingratiate themselves with President Donald Trump after he won the 2024 election, and in return he mocked their efforts behind their backs, according to a new book by The New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. Zuckerberg once texted Trump a photo of a letter written by one of his grade-school-age children, who wrote that they "looked forward to the golden age of America," a slogan Trump had repeated at rallies during the presidential campaign. And over dinner at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club, Bezos denigrated The Washington Post to Trump and essentially described the newspaper as one of his worst financial investments, months before he unsuccessfully sought a business favor from the president. These episodes are detailed in the book, a copy of which WIRED obtained ahead of its release on June 23.

Researchers from the US and Switzerland revealed that the San Andreas Fault has reached its highest levels of stress in 1,000 years - adding that it has been more than 160 years since the giant crack in the Earth's crust had a major release of energy . The San Andreas is an 800-mile-long fault line which runs under most of California, passing by Los Angeles in the south and San Francisco in the north and connecting to several other major faults, most notably the San Jacinto Fault near Los Angeles. This connection is where researcher Liliane Burkhard from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa said seismic stress has become so great at the southern end of the San Andreas that a rupture could travel along both fault lines - resulting in a mega quake .

Recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have significantly improved 2D visual understanding, prompting interest in their application to complex 3D reasoning tasks. However, it remains unclear whether these models can effectively capture the detailed spatial information required for robust real-world performance, especially cross-view consistency, a key requirement for accurate 3D reasoning. Considering this issue, we introduce Viewpoint Learning, a task designed to evaluate and improve the spatial reasoning capabilities of MLLMs. We present the Viewpoint-100K dataset, consisting of 100K object-centric image pairs with diverse viewpoints and corresponding question-answer pairs. Our approach employs a two-stage fine-tuning strategy: first, foundational knowledge is injected to the baseline MLLM via Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on Viewpoint-100K, resulting in significant improvements across multiple tasks; second, generalization is enhanced through Reinforcement Learning using the Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) algorithm on a broader set of questions. Additionally, we introduce a hybrid cold-start initialization method designed to simultaneously learn viewpoint representations and maintain coherent reasoning thinking. Experimental results show that our approach significantly activates the spatial reasoning ability of MLLM, improving performance on both in-domain and out-of-domain reasoning tasks. Our findings highlight the value of developing foundational spatial skills in MLLMs, supporting future progress in robotics, autonomous systems, and 3D scene understanding.

Open-world reinforcement learning challenges agents to develop intelligent behavior in vast exploration spaces. Recent approaches like LS-Imagine have advanced the field by extending imagination horizons through jumpy state transitions, yet remain limited by fixed exploration mechanisms and static jump thresholds that cannot adapt across changing task phases, resulting in inefficient exploration and lower completion rates. Humans demonstrate remarkable capabilities in openworld decision-making through a chain-like process of task decomposition, selective memory utilization, and adaptive uncertainty regulation. Inspired by human decision-making processes, we present Cognitive Predictive Processing (CPP), a novel framework that integrates three neurologically-inspired systems: a phaseadaptive cognitive controller that dynamically decomposes tasks into exploration, approach, and completion phases with adaptive parameters; a dual-memory integration system implementing dual-modal memory that balances immediate context with selective long-term storage; and an uncertainty-modulated prediction regulator that continuously updates environmental predictions to modulate exploration behavior. Comprehensive experiments in MineDojo demonstrate that these humaninspired decision-making strategies enhance performance over recent techniques, with success rates improving by an average of 4.6% across resource collection tasks while reducing task completion steps by an average of 7.1%. Our approach bridges cognitive neuroscience and reinforcement learning, excelling in complex scenarios that require sustained exploration and strategic adaptation while demonstrating how neural-inspired models can solve key challenges in open-world AI systems.
