ASSEMCAD: Production-Ready CAD Assembly Generation from Natural Language

Recent advances in large language models and programmatic CAD have significantly improved Text-to-CAD generation for individual parts. However, production-ready mechanical assembly generation remains largely unsolved. Unlike single-part modeling, assemblies require coordinated reasoning over multiple components, functional interfaces, assembly relations, engineering principles, and physical consistency. Consequently, directly generating executable CAD code is insufficient for constructing mechanically valid and reusable assemblies. We present AssemCAD, an axiom-grounded framework for production-ready CAD assembly generation from natural language. Instead of representing an assembly as monolithic CAD code, AssemCAD first constructs an axiomatic Assembly Specification consisting of typed parts, geometry-backed ports, executable mates, and engineering axioms. Each assembly relation is explicitly grounded in one or more engineering principles, making the resulting specification interpretable, reusable, and verifiable. To realize this specification, AssemCAD introduces a port- and mate-based CAD assembly library that executes symbolic assembly relations through deterministic mate transformations and validates declared interfaces using concrete B-Rep geometric evidence. Built on this representation and library, AssemCAD further supports on-demand synthesis of reusable parametric component factories for both standard and open-world geometries. Experiments on AssemBench show that AssemCAD substantially improves assembly preservation and physical validity over code-centric CAD generation baselines, while generalizing across different foundation-model backbones. By combining axiom-grounded assembly reasoning with deterministic geometric execution, AssemCAD extends Text-to-CAD from isolated part generation toward production-ready mechanical assembly design.

M^2C-EvDet: Multi-Domain Multi-Order Cross-Modal Knowledge Distillation for Event-based Object Detection

Event-based object Detection (EvDet), as a biologically inspired visual perception paradigm, demonstrates superior performance in scenarios demanding high temporal resolution and a wide dynamic range. Nevertheless, the inherent sparse representations and inadequate visual semantics of event data result in a considerable performance disparity between EvDet and frame-based object detection. Previous works attempt to alleviate this cross-modal discrepancy through knowledge distillation, yet they only focus on spatial visual semantics or pair-wise relational information, thus limiting performance in more complex scenarios. To address this challenge, this paper proposes M^2C-EvDet, a Multi-domain and Multi-order Cross-modal knowledge distillation framework for EvDet. Built upon frequency learning and hypergraph computation, M^2C-EvDet integrates two specialized modules: Adaptive Frequency-Decoupled Feature Distillation (AF^2D^2) and Multi-Order Relational Distillation (MORD).

IterCAD: An Iterative Multimodal Agent for Visually-Grounded CAD Generation and Editing

Computer-Aided Design is pivotal in modern manufacturing, yet existing automated methods predominantly rely on open-loop, one-shot generation, creating a mismatch with iterative real-world practices. In this paper, we present IterCAD, a unified multimodal agent framework for closed-loop, interactive CAD generation and editing. We formulate the task as a multi-turn interaction between a multimodal agent and an executable CAD sandbox, covering three tasks: Drawing-to-Code, Text-to-Code, and Interactive Editing. To support this, we develop a data synthesis pipeline incorporating advanced industrial manufacturing features to generate standard-compliant multi-view engineering drawings, complex code-editing tasks, and high-fidelity interaction trajectories. We optimize the agent via progressive SFT followed by geometry-aware reinforcement learning with viable-prefix masking to enhance code executability and geometric fidelity. Finally, we introduce the IterCAD-Bench evaluation suite and propose the Chamfer Distance Tolerance-Recall (CD-TR) curve alongside its AUC-TR metric, establishing a survivor-bias-free standard that unifies code validity and geometric precision. Extensive experiments demonstrate that IterCAD achieves highly competitive performance across multiple benchmarks, significantly outperforming existing approaches in both code executability and geometric precision, while exhibiting superior capabilities in closed-loop iterative refinement.

Count Anything

Object counting remains fragmented across domain-specific datasets and task formulations, despite rapid progress in generalist vision models. Existing counting models are often tailored to scenarios such as crowds, vehicles, cells, crops, or remote-sensing objects, and thus struggle to generalize across categories, visual domains, object scales, and density distributions. In this paper, we study text-guided object counting across domains, where a model takes an image and a natural-language query as input and returns an instance-grounded set of target points whose cardinality gives the count. This formulation unifies category-conditioned counting with interpretable spatial localization. To support this setting, we construct CLOC, a Cross-domain Large-scale Object Counting dataset that reorganizes diverse public data sources into a unified benchmark. CLOC covers six visual domains: General Scene, Remote Sensing, Histopathology, Cellular Microscopy, Agriculture, and Microbiology, with about 220K images, 619 categories, and 15M object instances. Based on CLOC, we propose Count Anything, a generalist model for text-guided object counting. Unlike density-map-based methods, which dominate counting models, Count Anything adopts discrete instance points and performs dual-granularity instance enumeration. A Region-level Sparse Counter provides object-level anchors for large and sparse targets, while a Pixel-level Dense Counter handles small, crowded, and weakly bounded targets via dense point prediction. A point-centric supervision strategy enables learning from heterogeneous annotations, and Complementary Count Fusion combines both counters in a parameter-free manner. Extensive experiments show that Count Anything achieves strong accuracy and multi-domain generalization, outperforming existing open-world counting methods.

Hypergraph as Language

Large language models (LLMs) have recently shown strong potential in modeling relational structures. However, existing approaches remain fundamentally graph-centric: they focus on processing pairwise graph structures into tokens that LLMs can understand. In contrast, many real-world relational patterns do not naturally conform to the pairwise-edge assumption, and are better modeled as high-order associations in hypergraphs. For hypergraph structures, existing methods often fail to preserve the native semantics that multiple objects are jointly connected by the same high-order relation, limiting their ability to exploit complex structures. To address this limitation, we put forth the "Hypergraph as Language" perspective and propose Hyper-Align, a hypergraph-native alignment framework for large language models. Hyper-Align compiles the query-object-centered hypergraph context into hypergraph tokens directly consumable by a base LLM. Specifically, we introduce Hypergraph Incidence Detail Template with Overview (HIDT-O), which serializes high-order association structures into a fixed-shape hybrid template combining local incidence details and overview-level summaries. We then design a Hypergraph Incidence Projector (HIP), which maps native high-order incidence structures into the LLM token space through explicit semantic-structural decoupling and bidirectional message passing between vertices and hyperedges. We further define a concrete Hypergraph-as-Language input protocol, which jointly feeds hypergraph tokens and textual prompts into a frozen base LLM, supporting both vertex-level and hyperedge-level tasks under a unified question-answering paradigm. To systematically evaluate different methods in hypergraph structural modeling, we introduce HyperAlign-Bench. Extensive experiments show that Hyper-Align significantly outperforms existing methods across in-domain and zero-shot evaluations.

Hypergraph-Enhanced Training-Free and Language-Free Few-Shot Anomaly Detection

Few-shot anomaly detection (FSAD) has made significant strides, yet existing methods still face critical challenges: (i) dependence on task- or dataset-specific training/fine-tuning, (ii) reliance on language supervision or carefully hand-crafted prompts, and (iii) limited robustness across domains. In this paper, we introduce HyperFSAD, a novel FSAD framework that is training-free, language-free, and robust across domains, offering a powerful solution to these challenges. Built upon DINOv3 and a hypergraph-based inference mechanism, our approach performs inference without any task-specific optimization or text prompts, while remaining competitive. Specifically, we replace sensitive nearest-neighbor / top-$n$ matching with \textbf{Sparse Hyper Matching}: \textit{sparsemax} first selects the most relevant support patches, which are then aggregated into a \textit{hyperedge} as compact normal evidence to suppress background noise and distractors. We further introduce \textbf{Dual-Branch Image Scoring}, which fuses \emph{spatial anomaly evidence} from the patch-grid anomaly map with \emph{global semantic deviation} captured by support-aware CLS matching, yielding a robust image-level anomaly score in a strictly visual manner. Notably, all components of HyperFSAD are purely visual, eliminating the need for labor-intensive hand-crafted text prompts. Under the stringent training-free and language-free setting, HyperFSAD achieves state-of-the-art performance across six datasets spanning four industrial datasets (MVTecAD, VisA, MPDD, BTAD) and two medical datasets (RESC, BraTS).

RACANet: Reliability-Aware Crowd Anchor Network for RGB-T Crowd Counting

RGB-Thermal (T) crowd counting aims to integrate visible-spectrum and thermal infrared information to improve the robustness of crowd density estimation in complex scenes. Although existing studies generally improve counting accuracy through cross-modal feature fusion, most current methods rely on implicit cross-modal fusion strategies and lack explicit modeling of local spatial discrepancies as well as fine-grained characterization of modality reliability at the positional level, thereby limiting the accuracy and interpretability of the fusion process. To address these issues, this paper proposes a two-stage fusion framework, RACANet, a Reliability-Aware Crowd Anchor Network for RGB-T crowd counting. First, we introduce a lightweight cross-modal alignment pretraining stage, which explicitly learns cross-modal semantic correspondences through crowd-prior supervision and local bidirectional soft matching. Then, based on the priors learned during pretraining, a Local Anchor Fusion Module (LAFM) is introduced in the formal training stage. This module generates local semantic anchors by aggregating features from highly reliable regions and further enables adaptive pixel-level feature redistribution with a local attention mechanism. In addition, we propose a discrepancy-aware consistency constraint to dynamically coordinate the reliability of regions where modal representations are consistent. Experiments conducted on two widely used benchmark datasets, RGBT-CC and Drone-RGBT, demonstrate that RACANet outperforms existing methods.

Generalizable CT-Free PET Attenuation and Scatter Correction for Pediatric Patients

Computed tomography (CT)-based attenuation and scatter correction improves quantitative PET but adds radiation exposure that is particularly undesirable in pediatric imaging. Existing CT-free methods are commonly trained in homogeneous settings and often degrade under scanner or radiotracer shifts, which limits their clinical utility. We propose the Generalizable PET Correction Network (GPCN), a dual-domain network for domain-robust CT-free PET attenuation and scatter correction. GPCN combines a multi-band contextual refinement module, which models pediatric anatomical variability through wavelet-based multiscale decomposition and long-range spatial context modeling, with a frequency-aware spectral decoupling module, which performs coordinate-conditioned amplitude/phase refinement in the Fourier domain. By synergizing multi-band spatial contextual modeling with asymmetric frequency-spectrum decoupling, the network explicitly separates invariant topological structures from domain-specific noise, thereby achieving precise quantitative recovery of both anatomical organs and focal lesions. This design aims to separate anatomy-dominant structures from domain-sensitive spectral residuals and to improve robustness across heterogeneous imaging conditions. We train and evaluate the method on 1085 pediatric whole-body PET scans acquired with two scanners and five radiotracers. In both joint training and zero-shot cross-domain evaluation, GPCN outperforms representative baselines and maintains stable quantitative accuracy on unseen scanner-tracer combinations. The method is further supported by ablation, region-wise quantitative analysis, and downstream segmentation experiments. In our cohort, the CT component of the conventional protocol corresponded to an average effective dose of 10.8 mSv, indicating the potential clinical value of reliable CT-free correction for pediatric PET.

Sparse Hypergraph-Enhanced Frame-Event Object Detection with Fine-Grained MoE

Integrating frame-based RGB cameras with event streams offers a promising solution for robust object detection under challenging dynamic conditions. However, the inherent heterogeneity and data redundancy of these modalities often lead to prohibitive computational overhead or suboptimal feature fusion. In this paper, we propose Hyper-FEOD, a high-performance and efficient detection framework, which synergistically optimizes multi-modal interaction through two core components. First, we introduce Sparse Hypergraph-enhanced Cross-Modal Fusion (S-HCF), which leverages the inherent sparsity of event streams to construct an event-guided activity map. By performing high-order hypergraph modeling exclusively on selected motion-critical sparse tokens, S-HCF captures complex non-local dependencies between RGB and event data while overcoming the traditional complexity bottlenecks of hypergraph computation. Second, we design a Fine-Grained Mixture of Experts (FG-MoE) Enhancement module to address the diverse semantic requirements of different image regions. This module employs specialized hypergraph experts tailored for object boundaries, internal textures, and backgrounds, utilizing a pixel-level spatial gating mechanism to adaptively route and enhance features. Combined with a load-balancing loss and zero-initialization strategy, FG-MoE ensures stable training and precise feature refinement without disrupting the pre-trained backbone's distribution. Experimental results on mainstream RGB-Event benchmarks demonstrate that Hyper-FEOD achieves a superior accuracy-efficiency trade-off, outperforming state-of-the-art methods while maintaining a lightweight footprint suitable for real-time edge deployment.
