Abstract:Deciphering animal intent is a fundamental challenge in computational ethology, largely because of semantic aliasing, the phenomenon where identical external signals (e.g., a cat's purr) correspond to radically different internal states depending on physiological context. Existing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are blind to high-frequency biological time-series data, restricting them to superficial behavioural pattern matching rather than genuine latent-state reasoning. To bridge this gap, we introduce Meow-Omni 1, the first open-source, quad-modal MLLM purpose-built for computational ethology. It natively fuses video, audio, and physiological time-series streams with textual reasoning. Through targeted architectural adaptation, we integrate specialized scientific encoders into a unified backbone and formalize intent inference via physiologically grounded cross-modal alignment. Evaluated on MeowBench, a novel, expert-verified quad-modal benchmark, Meow-Omni 1 achieves state-of-the-art intent-recognition accuracy (71.16%), substantially outperforming leading vision-language and omni-modal baselines. We release the complete open-source pipeline including model weights, training framework, and the Meow-10K dataset, to establish a scalable paradigm for inter-species intent understanding and to advance foundation models toward real-world veterinary diagnostics and wildlife conservation.
Abstract:Automated laboratories hold the promise of accelerating scientific discovery, yet their deployment is bottlenecked by the difficulty of designing safe and executable environments. While simulator-based design offers scalability, existing 3D scene generation methods are primarily tailored for household settings, optimizing for visual plausibility while neglecting the rigorous functional semantics and safety constraints essential for scientific experimentation. We present LabBuilder, an end-to-end system that generates and verifies 3D laboratory layouts from concise textual specifications. It operates through three tightly coupled components: LabForge first curates a meta-dataset of annotated assets and chemical knowledge, translating natural language specifications into structured protocols; building on these protocols, LabGen synthesizes laboratory layouts via an iterative, constraint-aware optimization strategy; finally, LabTouchstone evaluates the resulting layouts as a unified benchmark. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LabBuilder significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, producing laboratory environments that are not only realistic but also functionally valid and safe for complex experimental workflows.
Abstract:Multi-agent embodied systems hold promise for complex collaborative manipulation, yet face critical challenges in spatial coordination, temporal reasoning, and shared workspace awareness. Inspired by human collaboration where cognitive planning occurs separately from physical execution, we introduce the concept of compositional environment -- a synergistic integration of real-world and simulation components that enables multiple robotic agents to perceive intentions and operate within a unified decision-making space. Building on this concept, we present CoEnv, a framework that leverages simulation for safe strategy exploration while ensuring reliable real-world deployment. CoEnv operates through three stages: real-to-sim scene reconstruction that digitizes physical workspaces, VLM-driven action synthesis supporting both real-time planning with high-level interfaces and iterative planning with code-based trajectory generation, and validated sim-to-real transfer with collision detection for safe deployment. Extensive experiments on challenging multi-arm manipulation benchmarks demonstrate CoEnv's effectiveness in achieving high task success rates and execution efficiency, establishing a new paradigm for multi-agent embodied AI.
Abstract:Foundation models have demonstrated remarkable success across diverse domains and tasks, primarily due to the thrive of large-scale, diverse, and high-quality datasets. However, in the field of medical imaging, the curation and assembling of such medical datasets are highly challenging due to the reliance on clinical expertise and strict ethical and privacy constraints, resulting in a scarcity of large-scale unified medical datasets and hindering the development of powerful medical foundation models. In this work, we present the largest survey to date of medical image datasets, covering over 1,000 open-access datasets with a systematic catalog of their modalities, tasks, anatomies, annotations, limitations, and potential for integration. Our analysis exposes a landscape that is modest in scale, fragmented across narrowly scoped tasks, and unevenly distributed across organs and modalities, which in turn limits the utility of existing medical image datasets for developing versatile and robust medical foundation models. To turn fragmentation into scale, we propose a metadata-driven fusion paradigm (MDFP) that integrates public datasets with shared modalities or tasks, thereby transforming multiple small data silos into larger, more coherent resources. Building on MDFP, we release an interactive discovery portal that enables end-to-end, automated medical image dataset integration, and compile all surveyed datasets into a unified, structured table that clearly summarizes their key characteristics and provides reference links, offering the community an accessible and comprehensive repository. By charting the current terrain and offering a principled path to dataset consolidation, our survey provides a practical roadmap for scaling medical imaging corpora, supporting faster data discovery, more principled dataset creation, and more capable medical foundation models.
Abstract:Dataset distillation (DD) compresses a large training set into a small synthetic set, reducing storage and training cost, and has shown strong results on general benchmarks. Decoupled DD further improves efficiency by splitting the pipeline into pretraining, sample distillation, and soft-label generation. However, existing decoupled methods largely rely on coarse class-label supervision and optimize samples within each class in a nearly identical manner. On fine-grained datasets, this often yields distilled samples that (i) retain large intra-class variation with subtle inter-class differences and (ii) become overly similar within the same class, limiting localized discriminative cues and hurting recognition. To solve the above-mentioned problems, we propose FD$^{2}$, a dedicated framework for Fine-grained Dataset Distillation. FD$^{2}$ localizes discriminative regions and constructs fine-grained representations for distillation. During pretraining, counterfactual attention learning aggregates discriminative representations to update class prototypes. During distillation, a fine-grained characteristic constraint aligns each sample with its class prototype while repelling others, and a similarity constraint diversifies attention across same-class samples. Experiments on multiple fine-grained and general datasets show that FD$^{2}$ integrates seamlessly with decoupled DD and improves performance in most settings, indicating strong transferability.
Abstract:We introduce Intern-S1-Pro, the first one-trillion-parameter scientific multimodal foundation model. Scaling to this unprecedented size, the model delivers a comprehensive enhancement across both general and scientific domains. Beyond stronger reasoning and image-text understanding capabilities, its intelligence is augmented with advanced agent capabilities. Simultaneously, its scientific expertise has been vastly expanded to master over 100 specialized tasks across critical science fields, including chemistry, materials, life sciences, and earth sciences. Achieving this massive scale is made possible by the robust infrastructure support of XTuner and LMDeploy, which facilitates highly efficient Reinforcement Learning (RL) training at the 1-trillion parameter level while ensuring strict precision consistency between training and inference. By seamlessly integrating these advancements, Intern-S1-Pro further fortifies the fusion of general and specialized intelligence, working as a Specializable Generalist, demonstrating its position in the top tier of open-source models for general capabilities, while outperforming proprietary models in the depth of specialized scientific tasks.
Abstract:Long-range electrostatic and polarization interactions play a central role in molecular and condensed-phase systems, yet remain fundamentally incompatible with locality-based machine-learning interatomic potentials. Although modern SO(3)-equivariant neural potentials achieve high accuracy for short-range chemistry, they cannot represent the anisotropic, slowly decaying multipolar correlations governing realistic materials, while existing long-range extensions either break SO(3) equivariance or fail to maintain energy-force consistency. Here we introduce EquiEwald, a unified neural interatomic potential that embeds an Ewald-inspired reciprocal-space formulation within an irreducible SO(3)-equivariant framework. By performing equivariant message passing in reciprocal space through learned equivariant k-space filters and an equivariant inverse transform, EquiEwald captures anisotropic, tensorial long-range correlations without sacrificing physical consistency. Across periodic and aperiodic benchmarks, EquiEwald captures long-range electrostatic behavior consistent with ab initio reference data and consistently improves energy and force accuracy, data efficiency, and long-range extrapolation. These results establish EquiEwald as a physically principled paradigm for long-range-capable machine-learning interatomic potentials.
Abstract:Understanding the world from distributed, partial viewpoints is a fundamental challenge for embodied multi-agent systems. Each agent perceives the environment through an ego-centric view that is often limited by occlusion and ambiguity. To study this problem, we introduce the Ego-to-World (E2W) benchmark, which evaluates a vision-language model's ability to fuse heterogeneous viewpoints across three tasks: (i) global counting, (ii) relational location reasoning, and (iii) action-oriented grasping that requires predicting view-specific image coordinates. To address this setting, we propose CoRL, a two-stage framework that combines Chain-of-Thought supervised fine-tuning with reinforcement learning using Group-Relative Policy Optimization. Its core component, the Cross-View Spatial Reward (CVSR), provides dense task-aligned feedback by linking reasoning steps to visual evidence, ensuring coherent cross-view entity resolution, and guiding the model toward correct final predictions. Experiments on E2W show that CoRL consistently surpasses strong proprietary and open-source baselines on both reasoning and perception-grounding metrics, while ablations further confirm the necessity of each CVSR component. Beyond that, CoRL generalizes to external spatial reasoning benchmarks and enables effective real-world multi-robot manipulation with calibrated multi-camera rigs, demonstrating cross-view localization and successful grasp-and-place execution. Together, E2W and CoRL provide a principled foundation for learning world-centric scene understanding from distributed, ego-centric observations, advancing collaborative embodied AI.
Abstract:Discovering interpretable physical laws from high-dimensional data is a fundamental challenge in scientific research. Traditional methods, such as symbolic regression, often produce complex, unphysical formulas when searching a vast space of possible forms. We introduce a framework that guides the search process by leveraging the embedded scientific knowledge of large language models, enabling efficient identification of physical laws in the data. We validate our approach by modeling key properties of perovskite materials. Our method mitigates the combinatorial explosion commonly encountered in traditional symbolic regression, reducing the effective search space by a factor of approximately $10^5$. A set of novel formulas for bulk modulus, band gap, and oxygen evolution reaction activity are identified, which not only provide meaningful physical insights but also outperform previous formulas in accuracy and simplicity.
Abstract:The transition from symbolic manipulation to science-grade reasoning represents a pivotal frontier for Large Language Models (LLMs), with physics serving as the critical test anchor for binding abstract logic to physical reality. Physics demands that a model maintain physical consistency with the laws governing the universe, a task that fundamentally requires multimodal perception to ground abstract logic in reality. At the Olympiad level, diagrams are often constitutive rather than illustrative, containing essential constraints, such as boundary conditions and spatial symmetries, that are absent from the text. To bridge this visual-logical gap, we introduce P1-VL, a family of open-source vision-language models engineered for advanced scientific reasoning. Our method harmonizes Curriculum Reinforcement Learning, which employs progressive difficulty expansion to stabilize post-training, with Agentic Augmentation, enabling iterative self-verification at inference. Evaluated on HiPhO, a rigorous benchmark of 13 exams from 2024-2025, our flagship P1-VL-235B-A22B becomes the first open-source Vision-Language Model (VLM) to secure 12 gold medals and achieves the state-of-the-art performance in the open-source models. Our agent-augmented system achieves the No.2 overall rank globally, trailing only Gemini-3-Pro. Beyond physics, P1-VL demonstrates remarkable scientific reasoning capacity and generalizability, establishing significant leads over base models in STEM benchmarks. By open-sourcing P1-VL, we provide a foundational step toward general-purpose physical intelligence to better align visual perceptions with abstract physical laws for machine scientific discovery.
