GSRF: Complex-Valued 3D Gaussian Splatting for Efficient Radio-Frequency Data Synthesis

Neural Information Processing Systems

Synthesizing radio-frequency (RF) data given the transmitter and receiver positions, e.g., received signal strength indicator (RSSI), is critical for wireless networking and sensing applications, such as indoor localization. However, it remains challenging due to complex propagation interactions, including reflection, diffraction, and scattering. State-of-the-art neural radiance field (NeRF)-based methods achieve high-fidelity RF data synthesis but are limited by long training times and high inference latency. We introduce GSRF, a framework that extends 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) from the optical domain to the RF domain, enabling efficient RF data synthesis. GSRF realizes this adaptation through three key innovations: First, it introduces complex-valued 3D Gaussians with a hybrid Fourier-Legendre basis to model directional and phase-dependent radiance. Second, it employs orthographic splatting for efficient ray-Gaussian intersection identification. Third, it incorporates a complex-valued ray tracing algorithm, executed on RF-customized CUDA kernels and grounded in wavefront propagation principles, to synthesize RF data in real time. Evaluated across various RF technologies, GSRF preserves high-fidelity RF data synthesis while achieving significant improvements in training efficiency, shorter training time, and reduced inference latency.


Fantastic Bugs and Where to Find Them in AI Benchmarks

Neural Information Processing Systems

Benchmarks are pivotal in driving AI progress, and invalid benchmark questions frequently undermine their reliability. Manually identifying and correcting errors among thousands of benchmark questions is not only infeasible but also a critical bottleneck for reliable evaluation. In this work, we introduce a framework for systematic benchmark revision that leverages statistical analysis of response patterns to flag potentially invalid questions for further expert review. Our approach builds on a core assumption commonly used in AI evaluations that the mean score sufficiently summarizes model performance. This implies a unidimensional latent construct underlying the measurement experiment, yielding expected ranges for various statistics for each item. When empirically estimated values for these statistics fall outside the expected range for an item, the item is more likely to be problematic. Across nine widely used benchmarks, our method guides expert review to identify problematic questions with up to 84\% precision. In addition, we introduce an LLM judge first pass to review questions, further reducing human effort. Together, these components provide an efficient and scalable framework for systematic benchmark revision.


Distributionally Robust Feature Selection

Neural Information Processing Systems

We study the problem of selecting limited features to observe such that models trained on them can perform well simultaneously across multiple subpopulations. This problem has applications in settings where collecting each feature is costly, e.g.


Simultaneous Swap Regret Minimization via KL-Calibration

Neural Information Processing Systems

Calibration is a fundamental concept that aims at ensuring the reliability of probabilistic predictions by aligning them with real-world outcomes. There is a surge of studies on new calibration measures that are easier to optimize compared to the classical $\ell_1$-Calibration while still having strong implications for downstream applications. One recent such example is the work by Fishelson et al. (2025) who show that it is possible to achieve $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(T^{1/3})$ pseudo $\ell_{2}$-Calibration error via minimizing pseudo swap regret of the squared loss, which in fact implies the same bound for all bounded proper losses with a smooth univariate form. In this work, we significantly generalize their result in the following ways: (a) in addition to smooth univariate forms, our algorithm also simultaneously achieves $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(T^{1/3})$ swap regret for any proper loss with a twice continuously differentiable univariate form (such as Tsallis entropy); (b) our bounds hold not only for pseudo swap regret that measures losses using the forecaster's distributions on predictions, but also hold for the actual swap regret that measures losses using the forecaster's actual realized predictions. We achieve so by introducing a new stronger notion of calibration called (pseudo) KL-Calibration, which we show is equivalent to the (pseudo) swap regret with respect to log loss.


CoreaSpeech: Korean Speech Corpus via JAMO-based Coreset Selection for Efficient and Robust Korean Speech Generation

Neural Information Processing Systems

While substantial advances have been achieved in TTS for languages such as English and Mandarin, Korean remains comparatively underrepresented due to the lack of rigorous preprocessing methods, systematically constructed datasets, a shortage of standardized Korean TTS benchmarks, and explicitly optimized models for Korean. To address these limitations, we propose a Korean-tailored data-refinement and coreset selection pipeline. It refines speech data and performs textual normalization especially for numerals and English terms, followed by a novel coreset selection strategy that leverages Jamo-based linguistic and phonological features unique to Korean. As a result, we release CoreaSpeech, an efficient and robust Korean speech corpus comprising 700 hours across 21,449 speakers. This refined core subset, evenly balanced across utterances ranging from 0 to 30 seconds, is derived from 2,058 hours of widely used Korean datasets. Building on this, we conducted extensive experiments via cross-lingual fine-tuning with our CoreaSpeech dataset. Furthermore, we introduce a new universal Korean TTS benchmark dataset including clean, noisy, and numeric subsets. Additionally, we demonstrate that our Korean-specific text normalization serves as a plug-and-play module, reliably improving performance regardless of the underlying TTS architecture. We publicly release our dataset, pipeline code, and evaluation benchmarks to support reproducible research and further advances in Korean and multilingual speech synthesis.


C3Po: Cross-View Cross-Modality Correspondence by Pointmap Prediction

Neural Information Processing Systems

Geometric models like DUSt3R have shown great advances in understanding the geometry of a scene from pairs of photos. However, they fail when the inputs are from vastly different viewpoints (e.g., aerial vs.\ ground) or modalities (e.g., photos vs.\ abstract drawings) compared to what was observed during training. This paper addresses a challenging version of this problem: predicting correspondences between ground-level photos and floor plans. Current datasets for joint photo--floor plan reasoning are limited, either lacking in varying modalities (VIGOR) or lacking in correspondences (WAFFLE). To address these limitations, we introduce a new dataset, C3, created by first reconstructing a number of scenes in 3D from Internet photo collections via structure-from-motion, then manually registering the reconstructions to floor plans gathered from the Internet, from which we can derive correspondence between images and floor plans.


Integrating Drug Substructures and Longitudinal Electronic Health Records for Personalized Drug Recommendation

Neural Information Processing Systems

Drug recommendation systems aim to identify optimal drug combinations for patient care, balancing therapeutic efficacy and safety. Advances in large-scale longitudinal EHRs have enabled learning-based approaches that leverage patient histories such as diagnoses, procedures, and previously prescribed drugs, to model complex patient-drug relationships. Yet, many existing solutions overlook standard clinical practices that favor certain drugs for specific conditions and fail to fully integrate the influence of molecular substructures on drug efficacy and safety. In response, we propose \textbf{SubRec}, a unified framework that integrates representation learning across both patient and drug spaces. Specifically, SubRec introduces a conditional information bottleneck to extract core drug substructures most relevant to patient conditions, thereby enhancing interpretability and clinical alignment. Meanwhile, an adaptive vector quantization mechanism is designed to generate patient-drug interaction patterns into a condition-aware codebook which reuses clinically meaningful patterns, reduces training overhead, and provides a controllable latent space for recommendation. Crucially, the synergy between condition-specific substructure learning and discrete patient prototypes allows SubRec to make accurate and personalized drug recommendations. Experimental results on the real-world MIMIC III and IV demonstrate our model's advantages.


Multi-SWE-bench: A Multilingual Benchmark for Issue Resolving

Neural Information Processing Systems

The task of issue resolving aims to modify a codebase to generate a patch that addresses a given issue. However, most existing benchmarks focus almost exclusively on Python, making them insufficient for evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) across different programming languages. To bridge this gap, we introduce a multilingual issue-resolving benchmark, called Multi-SWE-bench, covering 8 languages of Python, Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Rust, C, and C++. In particular, this benchmark includes a total of 2,132 high-quality instances, carefully curated by 68 expert annotators, ensuring a reliable and accurate evaluation of LLMs on the issue-resolving task. Based on human-annotated results, the issues are further classified into three difficulty levels. We evaluate a series of state-of-the-art models on Multi-SWE-bench, utilizing both procedural and agent-based frameworks for issue resolving. Our experiments reveal three key findings: (1) Limited generalization across languages: While existing LLMs perform well on Python issues, their ability to generalize across other languages remains limited; (2) Performance aligned with human-annotated difficulty: LLM-based agents' performance closely aligns with human-assigned difficulty, with resolution rates decreasing as issue complexity rises; and (3) Performance drop on cross-file issues: The performance of current methods significantly deteriorates when handling cross-file issues. These findings highlight the limitations of current LLMs and underscore the need for more robust models capable of handling a broader range of programming languages and complex issue scenarios.


Stackelberg Self-Annotation: A Robust Approach to Data-Efficient LLM Alignment

Neural Information Processing Systems

Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences typically demands vast amounts of meticulously curated data, which is both expensive and prone to labeling noise. We propose Stackelberg Game Preference Optimization (SGPO), a robust alignment framework that models alignment as a two-player Stackelberg game between a policy (leader) and a worst-case preference distribution (follower).


Enhancing Multilingual LLM Pretraining with Model-Based Data Selection

Neural Information Processing Systems

Dataset curation has become a basis for strong large language model (LLM) performance.While various rule-based filtering heuristics exist for English and multilingual datasets, model-based filtering techniques have primarily focused on English.To address the disparity stemming from limited research on non-English languages, we develop a model-based filtering framework for multilingual datasets that aims to identify a diverse set of structured and knowledge-rich samples.Our approach emphasizes transparency, simplicity, and efficiency, leveraging Transformer-and FastText-based classifiers to ensure the broad accessibility of our technique and data.We conduct comprehensive ablation studies on the FineWeb-2 web crawl dataset across diverse language families, scripts, and resource availability to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.Training a 1B-parameter Llama model for 70B and 119B tokens, our approach can match the baseline MMLU score with as little as 15\% of the training tokens, while also improving across other benchmarks and mitigating the curse of multilinguality.These findings provide strong evidence for the generalizability of our approach to other languages. As a result, we extend our framework to 20 languages for which we release the refined pretraining datasets.
