Spatial reasoning is a key capability in the field of artificial intelligence, especially crucial in areas such as robotics, computer vision, and natural language understanding. However, evaluating the ability of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) in complex spatial reasoning still faces challenges, particularly in scenarios requiring multi-step reasoning and precise mathematical constraints.

Prompt Template: Generating QAPairs for Camera Motion (CM) Task You are a professional question designer focusing on temporal dynamics in videos, including camera movements, motions, activities, and interactions, rather than static content. You will receive detailed annotations about the temporal details of the entire video, with duration markers in parentheses after "camera_motion" and "motion_list". Based on these annotations, design 3 multiple-choice questions around the "Camera Motion" theme to test models' fine-grained video motion understanding, particularly: Understanding camera movement direction and focus changes in the video. Additionally, follow these question design guidelines: 1. If a video's "camera_motion" has only one element, such as "camera_motion": "static", or "camera_motion": "camera shaking (0-22)", skip this video and don't generate any content.

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) often exhibit "failure modes" in which the PDE residual loss converges while the solution error stays large, a phenomenon traditionally blamed on local optima separated from the true solution by steep loss barriers. We challenge this understanding by demonstrate that the real culprit is insufficient arithmetic precision: with standard FP32, the L-BFGS optimizer prematurely satisfies its convergence test, freezing the network in a spurious failure phase. Simply upgrading to FP64 rescues optimization, enabling vanilla PINNs to solve PDEs without any failure modes. These results reframe PINN failure modes as precision-induced stalls rather than inescapable local minima and expose a three-stage training dynamic--un-converged, failure, success--whose boundaries shift with numerical precision. Our findings emphasize that rigorous arithmetic precision is the key to dependable PDE solving with neural networks.

Training foundation models such as ViTs and LLMs requires tremendous computing cost. Low-rank matrix or tensor factorization offers a parameter-efficient alternative, but often downgrades performance due to the restricted parameter space. In this work, we introduce Latent Crossing (LaX) - a simple yet effective plug-andplay module that enhances the capacity of low-rank models by enabling information flow across low-rank subspaces.

In this paper, we focus on 1-Lipschitz residual networks (ResNets) based on explicit Euler steps of negative gradient flows and study their approximation capabilities. Leveraging the Restricted Stone-Weierstrass Theorem, we first show that these 1-Lipschitz ResNets are dense in the set of scalar 1-Lipschitz functions on any compact domain when width and depth are allowed to grow. We also show that these networks can exactly represent scalar piecewise affine 1-Lipschitz functions. We then prove a stronger statement: by inserting norm-constrained linear maps between the residual blocks, the same density holds when the hidden width is fixed. Because every layer obeys simple norm constraints, the resulting models can be trained with off-the-shelf optimisers. This paper provides the first universal approximation guarantees for 1-Lipschitz ResNets, laying a rigorous foundation for their practical use.

Mask-based pretraining has become a cornerstone of modern large-scale models across language, vision, and recently biology. Despite its empirical success, its role and limits in learning data representations have been unclear. In this work, we show that the behavior of mask-based pretraining can be directly characterized by test risk in high-dimensional minimum-norm ("ridge-less") linear regression, without relying on further model specifications.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being explored across a range of reasoning tasks. However, LLMs sometimes struggle with reasoning tasks under uncertainty that are relatively easy for humans, such as planning actions in stochastic environments. The adoption of LLMs for reasoning is impeded by uncertainty challenges, such as LLM uncertainty and environmental uncertainty. LLM uncertainty arises from the stochastic sampling process inherent to LLMs. Most LLM-based Decision-Making (LDM) approaches address LLM uncertainty through multiple reasoning chains or search trees. However, these approaches overlook environmental uncertainty, which leads to poor performance in environments with stochastic state transitions.

Frontier large language models (LLMs) have shown great success in text modeling and generation tasks across domains. However, natural language exhibits inherent semantic hierarchies and nuanced geometric structure, which current LLMs do not capture completely owing to their reliance on Euclidean operations such as dotproducts and norms. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that not respecting the underlying geometry of token embeddings leads to training instabilities and degradation of generative capabilities. These findings suggest that shifting to non-Euclidean geometries can better align language models with the underlying geometry of text. We thus propose to operate fully in Hyperbolic space, known for its expansive, scale-free, and low-distortion properties.

This work presents a systematic investigation into the latent knowledge encoded within Network Foundation Models (NFMs). Different from existing efforts, we focus on hidden representations analysis rather than pure downstream task performance and analyze NFMs through a three-part evaluation: Embedding Geometry Analysis to assess representation space utilization, Metric Alignment Assessment to measure correspondence with domain-expert features, and Causal Sensitivity Testing to evaluate robustness to protocol perturbations. Using five diverse network datasets spanning controlled and real-world environments, we evaluate four stateof-the-art NFMs, revealing that they all exhibit significant anisotropy, inconsistent feature sensitivity patterns, an inability to separate the high-level context, payload dependency, and other properties. Our work identifies numerous limitations across all models and demonstrates that addressing them can significantly improve model performance (up to 0.35 increase in F1 scores without architectural changes).

Pan-sharpening aims to generate a spatially and spectrally enriched multi-spectral image by integrating information from low-resolution multi-spectral image and texture-rich panchromatic counterpart. In this work, we propose a WKVsharing embraced random shuffle RWKV high-order modeling paradigm for pansharpening from Bayesian perspective, coupled with random weight manifold distribution training strategy derived from Functional theory to regularize the solution space adhering to the following principles: 1) Random-shuffle RWKV. Recently, the Vision RWKV model, with its inherent linear complexity in global modeling, has inspired us to explore its untapped potential in pan-sharpening tasks. However, its attention mechanism, relying on a recurrent bidirectional scanning strategy, suffers from biased effects and demands significant processing time. To address this, we propose a novel Bayesian-inspired scanning strategy called Random Shuffle, complemented by a theoretically-sound inverse shuffle to preserve information coordination invariance, effectively eliminating biases associated with fixed sequence scanning.
