Unified vision-language models have made significant progress in multimodal understanding and generation, yet they largely fall short in producing multimodal interleaved outputs, which is a crucial capability for tasks like visual storytelling and step-by-step visual reasoning. In this work, we propose a reinforcement learningbased post-training strategy to unlock this capability in existing unified models, without relying on large-scale multimodal interleaved datasets. We begin with a warm-up stage using a hybrid dataset comprising curated interleaved sequences and limited data for multimodal understanding and text-to-image generation, which exposes the model to interleaved generation patterns while preserving its pretrained capabilities. To further refine interleaved generation, we propose a unified policy optimization framework that extends Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) to the multimodal setting.

Concept bottleneck models (CBMs) ensure interpretability by decomposing predictions into human interpretable concepts. Yet the annotations used for training CBMs that enable this transparency are often noisy, and the impact of such corruption is not well understood. In this study, we present the first systematic study of noise in CBMs and show that even moderate corruption simultaneously impairs prediction performance, interpretability, and the intervention effectiveness. Our analysis identifies a susceptible subset of concepts whose accuracy declines far more than the average gap between noisy and clean supervision and whose corruption accounts for most performance loss. To mitigate this vulnerability we propose a two-stage framework. During training, sharpness-aware minimization stabilizes the learning of noise-sensitive concepts. During inference, where clean labels are unavailable, we rank concepts by predictive entropy and correct only the most uncertain ones, using uncertainty as a proxy for susceptibility. Theoretical analysis and extensive ablations elucidate why sharpness-aware training confers robustness and why uncertainty reliably identifies susceptible concepts, providing a principled basis that preserves both interpretability and resilience in the presence of noise.

In this manuscript, we analyze a solvable model of flow or diffusion-based generative model. We consider the problem of learning a model parametrized by a two-layer auto-encoder, trained with online stochastic gradient descent, on a highdimensional target density with an underlying low-dimensional manifold structure. We derive a tight asymptotic characterization of low-dimensional projections of the distribution of samples generated by the learned model, ascertaining in particular its dependence on the number of training samples. Building on this analysis, we discuss how mode collapse can arise, and lead to model collapse when the generative model is re-trained on generated synthetic data.

To enhance surface property analysis for irrigation mapping, we compute a suite of spectral indices capturing vegetation health, water presence, and soil conditions12. Common vegetation indices such as NDVI, GNDVI, and CIgreen quantify canopy vigor and chlorophyll content, while EVI, SAVI, and MSAVI account for atmospheric and soil background effects [44, 68, 28].

The lack of fine-grained, large-scale datasets on water availability presents a critical barrier to applying machine learning (ML) for agricultural water management. Since there are multiple natural and anthropogenic factors that influence water availability, incorporating diverse multimodal features can significantly improve modeling performance. However, integrating such heterogeneous data is challenging due to spatial misalignments, inconsistent formats, semantic label ambiguities, and class imbalances. To address these challenges, we introduce IRRISIGHT, a large-scale, multimodal dataset spanning 20 U.S. states. It consists of 1.4 million pixel-aligned 224 224 patches that fuse satellite imagery with rich environmental attributes. We develop a robust geospatial fusion pipeline that aligns raster, vector, and point-based data on a unified 10m grid, and employ domain-informed structured prompts to convert tabular attributes into natural language. With irrigation type classification as a representative problem, the dataset is AI-ready, offering a spatially disjoint train/test split and extensive benchmarking with both vision and vision-language models. Our results demonstrate that multimodal representations substantially improve model performance, establishing a foundation for future research on water availability.

Invariant Point Attention (IPA) is a key algorithm for geometry-aware modeling in structural biology, central to many protein and RNA models. However, its quadratic complexity limits the input sequence length. We introduce FlashIPA, a factorized reformulation of IPA that leverages hardware-efficient FlashAttention to achieve linear scaling in GPU memory and wall-clock time with sequence length. FlashIPA matches or exceeds standard IPA performance while substantially reducing computational costs. FlashIPA extends training to previously unattainable lengths, and we demonstrate this by re-training generative models without length restrictions and generating structures of thousands of residues.

Although learning 3D manipulation policies from monocular RGB images is lightweight and deployment-friendly, the lack of structural information often leads to inaccurate action estimation. While explicit 3D inputs can mitigate this issue, they typically require additional sensors and introduce data acquisition overhead. An intuitive alternative is to incorporate a pre-trained depth estimator; however, this often incurs substantial inference-time cost. To address this, we propose MonoLift, a tri-level knowledge distillation framework that transfers spatial, temporal, and action-level knowledge from a depth-guided teacher to a monocular RGB student. By jointly distilling geometry-aware features, temporal dynamics, and policy behaviors during training, MonoLift enables the student model to perform 3Daware reasoning and precise control at deployment using only monocular RGB input. Extensive experiments on both simulated and real-world manipulation tasks show that MonoLift not only outperforms existing monocular approaches but even surpasses several methods that rely on explicit 3D input, offering a resource-efficient and effective solution for vision-based robotic control. The video demonstration is available on our project page: https://robotasy.github.io/

Aiming to generalize the well-trained gaze estimation model to new target domains, Cross-domain Gaze Estimation (CDGE) is developed for real-world application scenarios. Existing CDGE methods typically extract the domain-invariant features to mitigate domain shift in feature space, which is proved insufficient by Generalized Label Shift (GLS) theory. In this paper, we introduce a novel GLS perspective to CDGE and modelize the cross-domain problem by label and conditional shift problem. AGLS correction framework is presented and a feasible realization is proposed, in which an importance reweighting strategy based on truncated Gaussian distribution is introduced to overcome the continuity challenges in label shift correction. To embed the reweighted source distribution to conditional invariant learning, we further derive a probability-aware estimation of conditional operator discrepancy. Extensive experiments on standard CDGE tasks with different backbone models validate the superior generalization capability across domain and applicability on various models of proposed method.

Estimating scene lighting from a single image or video remains a longstand-ing challenge in computer vision and graphics. Learning-based approaches areconstrained by the scarcity of ground-truth HDR environment maps, which areexpensive to capture and limited in diversity. While recent generative modelsoffer strong priors for image synthesis, lighting estimation remains difficult dueto its reliance on indirect visual cues, the need to infer global (non-local) con-text, and the recovery of high-dynamic-range outputs. We propose LuxDiT, anovel data-driven approach that fine-tunes a video diffusion transformer to gen-erate HDR environment maps conditioned on visual input. Trained on a largesynthetic dataset with diverse lighting conditions, our model learns to infer il-lumination from indirect visual cues and generalizes effectively to real-worldscenes. To improve semantic alignment between the input and the predicted environment map, we introduce a low-rank adaptation finetuning strategy using a collected dataset of HDR panoramas.

Recent advances in LLM-based decompilers have been shown effective to convert low-level binaries into human-readable source code. However, there still lacks a comprehensive benchmark that provides large-scale binary-source function pairs, which is critical for advancing the LLM decompilation technology. Creating accurate binary-source mappings incurs severe issues caused by complex compilation settings and widespread function inlining that obscure the correspondence between binaries and their original source code. Previous efforts have either relied on used contest-style benchmarks, synthetic binary-source mappings that diverge significantly from the mappings in real world, or partially matched binaries with only code lines or variable names, compromising the effectiveness of analyzing the binary functionality. To alleviate these issues, we introduce Decompile-Bench, the first open-source dataset comprising two million binarysource function pairs condensed from 100 million collected function pairs, i.e., 450GB of binaries compiled from permissively licensed GitHub projects. For the evaluation purposes, we also developed a benchmark Decompile-Bench-Eval including manually crafted binaries from the well-established HumanEval and MBPP, alongside the compiled GitHub repositories released after 2025 to mitigate data leakage issues. We further explore commonly-used evaluation metrics to provide a thorough assessment of the studied LLM decompilers and find that fine-tuning with Decompile-Bench causes a 20% improvement over previous benchmarks in terms of the re-executability rate. Our code and data has been released in HuggingFace and Github.
