Sat3DGen: Comprehensive Street-Level 3D Scene Generation from Single Satellite Image

Generating a street-level 3D scene from a single satellite image is a crucial yet challenging task. Current methods present a stark trade-off: geometry-colorization models achieve high geometric fidelity but are typically building-focused and lack semantic diversity. In contrast, proxy-based models use feed-forward image-to-3D frameworks to generate holistic scenes by jointly learning geometry and texture, a process that yields rich content but coarse and unstable geometry. We attribute these geometric failures to the extreme viewpoint gap and sparse, inconsistent supervision inherent in satellite-to-street data. We introduce Sat3DGen to address these fundamental challenges, which embodies a geometry-first methodology. This methodology enhances the feed-forward paradigm by integrating novel geometric constraints with a perspective-view training strategy, explicitly countering the primary sources of geometric error. This geometry-centric strategy yields a dramatic leap in both 3D accuracy and photorealism. For validation, we first constructed a new benchmark by pairing the VIGOR-OOD test set with high-resolution DSM data. On this benchmark, our method improves geometric RMSE from 6.76m to 5.20m. Crucially, this geometric leap also boosts photorealism, reducing the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) from $\sim$40 to 19 against the leading method, Sat2Density++, despite using no extra tailored image-quality modules. We demonstrate the versatility of our high-quality 3D assets through diverse downstream applications, including semantic-map-to-3D synthesis, multi-camera video generation, large-scale meshing, and unsupervised single-image Digital Surface Model (DSM) estimation. The code has been released on https://github.com/qianmingduowan/Sat3DGen.

A Unified Knowledge Embedded Reinforcement Learning-based Framework for Generalized Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems

The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is a fundamental NP-hard problem with broad applications in logistics and transportation. Real-world CVRPs often involve diverse objectives and complex constraints, such as time windows or backhaul requirements, motivating the development of a unified solution framework. Recent reinforcement learning (RL) approaches have shown promise in combinatorial optimization, yet they rely on end-to-end learning and lack explicit problem-solving knowledge, limiting solution quality. In this paper, we propose a knowledge-embedded framework inspired by the Route-First Cluster-Second heuristics. It incorporates knowledge at two levels: (1) decomposing CVRPs into the route-first and cluster-second subproblems, and (2) leveraging dynamic programming to solve the second subproblem, whose results guide the RL-based constructive solver to solve the first problem. To mitigate partial observability caused by problem decomposition, we introduce a unified history-enhanced context processing module. Extensive experiments show that this framework achieves superior solution quality compared with state-of-the-art learning-based methods, with a smaller gap to classical heuristics, demonstrating strong generalization across diverse CVRP variants.

PointGS: Semantic-Consistent Unsupervised 3D Point Cloud Segmentation with 3D Gaussian Splatting

Unsupervised point cloud segmentation is critical for embodied artificial intelligence and autonomous driving, as it mitigates the prohibitive cost of dense point-level annotations required by fully supervised methods. While integrating 2D pre-trained models such as the Segment Anything Model (SAM) to supplement semantic information is a natural choice, this approach faces a fundamental mismatch between discrete 3D points and continuous 2D images. This mismatch leads to inevitable projection overlap and complex modality alignment, resulting in compromised semantic consistency across 2D-3D transfer. To address these limitations, this paper proposes PointGS, a simple yet effective pipeline for unsupervised 3D point cloud segmentation. PointGS leverages 3D Gaussian Splatting as a unified intermediate representation to bridge the discrete-continuous domain gap. Input sparse point clouds are first reconstructed into dense 3D Gaussian spaces via multi-view observations, filling spatial gaps and encoding occlusion relationships to eliminate projection-induced semantic conflation. Multi-view dense images are rendered from the Gaussian space, with 2D semantic masks extracted via SAM, and semantics are distilled to 3D Gaussian primitives through contrastive learning to ensure consistent semantic assignments across different views. The Gaussian space is aligned with the original point cloud via two-step registration, and point semantics are assigned through nearest-neighbor search on labeled Gaussians. Experiments demonstrate that PointGS outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised methods, achieving +0.9% mIoU on ScanNet-V2 and +2.8% mIoU on S3DIS.

Coordinated Multipoint Anti-jamming Beam Pattern Synthesis: From AI Accelerated Algorithm to Hardware Implementation

This paper presents a deep unfolding-supported coordinated multipoint beam pattern synthesis (DUCoMP-BPS) scheme to overcome the high complexity, poor adaptability, and limited scalability of traditional cell-free anti-jamming beamforming. In the proposed design, access points (APs) independently determine analog beamforming using local angle information, while the central processing unit (CPU) performs cooperative digital beamforming with only a single AP-CPU interaction, significantly reducing fronthaul overhead. To further improve efficiency, a deep unfolding strategy transforms the costly step size search in analog beamforming into a trainable parameter, where an offline-trained complex-valued neural network enables fast and adaptive online inference. Simulation results show that the complexity of DUCoMP-BPS scales linearly with the number of APs, reduces single-AP analog beamforming runtime by about 67% compared to conventional optimization, and achieves superior nulling performance over purely data-driven approaches. Hardware feasibility is validated on an Advanced RISC Machine-Field Programmable Gate Array (ARM-FPGA) heterogeneous platform, where algorithm-hardware co-verification and hardware-software decoupling enable efficient parallelism and low-latency execution. Finally, anechoic chamber measurements under practical hardware imperfections confirm robust beamforming performance, demonstrating the strong potential of DUCoMP-BPS for real-world deployment.

Breaking Degradation Coupling: A Structural Entropy Guided Decoupled Framework and Benchmark for Infrared Enhancement

Thermal infrared image enhancement aims to restore high-quality images from complex compound degradations. Existing all-in-one approaches typically employ a single shared backbone to handle diverse degradations, which causes gradient interference and parameter competition. To address this, we propose a Structural Entropy-Guided Decoupled (SEGD) Framework. Unlike unified modeling paradigms, SEGD decomposes compound degradations into independent sub-processes and models them in a divide-and-conquer manner through Degradation-Specific Residual Modules (DRMs). Each DRM focuses on residual estimation for a specific degradation, enabling task decoupling while remaining jointly trainable, which mitigates parameter contention. A Degradation-Aware Evidential Network further estimates degradation type and intensity, providing priors that adaptively regulate DRM restoration strength. To handle compound cases, DRMs are composed in varying orders to form multiple restoration paths, from which the most informative features are aggregated under a structural-entropy criterion, yielding decoder-ready representations with structural fidelity and degradation awareness. Integrating divide-and-conquer restoration, evidential perception, and entropy-guided adaptation, SEGD achieves fine-grained and interpretable enhancement. We also construct a nighttime TIR benchmark for evaluation under real low-light conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that SEGD surpasses state-of-the-art methods while achieving higher efficiency with fewer parameters.

MMControl: Unified Multi-Modal Control for Joint Audio-Video Generation

Recent advances in Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have enabled high-quality joint audio-video generation, producing videos with synchronized audio within a single model. However, existing controllable generation frameworks are typically restricted to video-only control. This restricts comprehensive controllability and often leads to suboptimal cross-modal alignment. To bridge this gap, we present MMControl, which enables users to perform Multi-Modal Control in joint audio-video generation. MMControl introduces a dual-stream conditional injection mechanism. It incorporates both visual and acoustic control signals, including reference images, reference audio, depth maps, and pose sequences, into a joint generation process. These conditions are injected through bypass branches into a joint audio-video Diffusion Transformer, enabling the model to simultaneously generate identity-consistent video and timbre-consistent audio under structural constraints. Furthermore, we introduce modality-specific guidance scaling, which allows users to independently and dynamically adjust the influence strength of each visual and acoustic condition at inference time. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MMControl achieves fine-grained, composable control over character identity, voice timbre, body pose, and scene layout in joint audio-video generation.

WavAlign: Enhancing Intelligence and Expressiveness in Spoken Dialogue Models via Adaptive Hybrid Post-Training

End-to-end spoken dialogue models have garnered significant attention because they offer a higher potential ceiling in expressiveness and perceptual ability than cascaded systems. However, the intelligence and expressiveness of current open-source spoken dialogue models often remain below expectations. Motivated by the success of online reinforcement learning(RL) in other domains, one might attempt to directly apply preference optimization to spoken dialogue models, yet this transfer is non-trivial. We analyze these obstacles from the perspectives of reward modeling and rollout sampling, focusing on how sparse preference supervision interacts with dense speech generation under shared-parameter updates. Based on the analysis, we propose a modality-aware adaptive post-training recipe that makes RL practical for spoken dialogue: it constrains preference updates to the semantic channel and improves acoustic behavior via explicit anchoring, while dynamically regulating their mixture from rollout statistics to avoid unreliable preference gradients. We evaluate the method across multiple spoken dialogue benchmarks and representative architectures, and observe consistent improvements in semantic quality and speech expressiveness.

Dual-Axis Generative Reward Model Toward Semantic and Turn-taking Robustness in Interactive Spoken Dialogue Models

Achieving seamless, human-like interaction remains a key challenge for full-duplex spoken dialogue models (SDMs). Reinforcement learning (RL) has substantially enhanced text- and vision-language models, while well-designed reward signals are crucial for the performance of RL. We consider RL a promising strategy to address the key challenge for SDMs. However, a fundamental barrier persists: prevailing automated metrics for assessing interaction quality rely on superficial proxies, such as behavioral statistics or timing-prediction accuracy, failing to provide reliable reward signals for RL. On the other hand, human evaluations, despite their richness, remain costly, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. We tackle this critical barrier by proposing a Dual-Axis Generative Reward Model, which is trained to understand complex interaction dynamics using a detailed taxonomy and an annotated dataset, produces a single score and, crucially, provides separate evaluations for semantic quality and interaction timing. Such dual outputs furnish precise diagnostic feedback for SDMs and deliver a dependable, instructive reward signal suitable for online reinforcement learning. Our model achieves state-of-the-art performance on interaction-quality assessment across a wide spectrum of datasets, spanning synthetic dialogues and complex real-world interactions.

Extending Precipitation Nowcasting Horizons via Spectral Fusion of Radar Observations and Foundation Model Priors

Precipitation nowcasting is critical for disaster mitigation and aviation safety. However, radar-only models frequently suffer from a lack of large-scale atmospheric context, leading to performance degradation at longer lead times. While integrating meteorological variables predicted by weather foundation models offers a potential remedy, existing architectures fail to reconcile the profound representational heterogeneities between radar imagery and meteorological data. To bridge this gap, we propose PW-FouCast, a novel frequency-domain fusion framework that leverages Pangu-Weather forecasts as spectral priors within a Fourier-based backbone. Our architecture introduces three key innovations: (i) Pangu-Weather-guided Frequency Modulation to align spectral magnitudes and phases with meteorological priors; (ii) Frequency Memory to correct phase discrepancies and preserve temporal evolution; and (iii) Inverted Frequency Attention to reconstruct high-frequency details typically lost in spectral filtering. Extensive experiments on the SEVIR and MeteoNet benchmarks demonstrate that PW-FouCast achieves state-of-the-art performance, effectively extending the reliable forecast horizon while maintaining structural fidelity. Our code is available at https://github.com/Onemissed/PW-FouCast.

Efficient Self-Evaluation for Diffusion Language Models via Sequence Regeneration

Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) have recently attracted significant attention for their ability to enhance diversity, controllability, and parallelism. However, their non-sequential, bidirectionally masked generation makes quality assessment difficult, underscoring the need for effective self-evaluation. In this work, we propose DiSE, a simple yet effective self-evaluation confidence quantification method for dLLMs. DiSE quantifies confidence by computing the probability of regenerating the tokens in the entire generated sequence, given the full context. This method enables more efficient and reliable quality assessment by leveraging token regeneration probabilities, facilitating both likelihood estimation and robust uncertainty quantification. Building upon DiSE, we further introduce a flexible-length generation framework, which adaptively controls the sequence length based on the model's self-assessment of its own output. We analyze and validate the feasibility of DiSE from the perspective of dLLM generalization, and empirically demonstrate that DiSE is positively correlated with both semantic coherence and answer accuracy. Extensive experiments on likelihood evaluation, uncertainty quantification, and flexible-length generation further confirm the effectiveness of the proposed DiSE.
