BOOKMARKS: Efficient Active Storyline Memory for Role-playing

Memory systems are critical for role-playing agents (RPAs) to maintain long-horizon consistency. However, existing RPA memory methods (e.g., profiling) mainly rely on recurrent summarization, whose compression inevitably discards important details. To address this issue, we propose a search-based memory framework called BOOKMARKS, which actively initializes, maintains, and updates task-relevant pieces of bookmarks for the current task (e.g., character acting). A bookmark is structured as the answer to a question at a specific point in the storyline. For each current task, BOOKMARKS selects reusable existing bookmarks or initializes new ones (at storyline beginning) with useful questions. These bookmarks are then synchronized to the current story point, with their answers updated accordingly, so they can be efficiently reused in future grounding rounds. Compared with recurrent summarization, BOOKMARKS offers (1) active grounding for capturing task-specific details and (2) passive updating to avoid unnecessary computation. In implementation, BOOKMARKS supports concept, behavior, and state searches, each powered by an efficient synchronization method. BOOKMARKS significantly outperforms RPA memory baselines on 85 characters from 16 artifacts, demonstrating the effectiveness of search-based memory for RPAs.

DV-World: Benchmarking Data Visualization Agents in Real-World Scenarios

Real-world data visualization (DV) requires native environmental grounding, cross-platform evolution, and proactive intent alignment. Yet, existing benchmarks often suffer from code-sandbox confinement, single-language creation-only tasks, and assumption of perfect intent. To bridge these gaps, we introduce DV-World, a benchmark of 260 tasks designed to evaluate DV agents across real-world professional lifecycles. DV-World spans three domains: DV-Sheet for native spreadsheet manipulation including chart and dashboard creation as well as diagnostic repair; DV-Evolution for adapting and restructuring reference visual artifacts to fit new data across diverse programming paradigms and DV-Interact for proactive intent alignment with a user simulator that mimics real-world ambiguous requirements. Our hybrid evaluation framework integrates Table-value Alignment for numerical precision and MLLM-as-a-Judge with rubrics for semantic-visual assessment. Experiments reveal that state-of-the-art models achieve less than 50% overall performance, exposing critical deficits in handling the complex challenges of real-world data visualization. DV-World provides a realistic testbed to steer development toward the versatile expertise required in enterprise workflows.

Simulating Organized Group Behavior: New Framework, Benchmark, and Analysis

Simulating how organized groups (e.g., corporations) make decisions (e.g., responding to a competitor's move) is essential for understanding real-world dynamics and could benefit relevant applications (e.g., market prediction). In this paper, we formalize this problem as a concrete research platform for group behavior understanding, providing: (1) a task definition with benchmark and evaluation criteria, (2) a structured analytical framework with a corresponding algorithm, and (3) detailed temporal and cross-group analysis. Specifically, we propose Organized Group Behavior Simulation, a task that models organized groups as collective entities from a practical perspective: given a group facing a particular situation (e.g., AI Boom), predict the decision it would take. To support this task, we present GROVE (GRoup Organizational BehaVior Evaluation), a benchmark covering 44 entities with 8,052 real-world context-decision pairs collected from Wikipedia and TechCrunch across 9 domains, with an end-to-end evaluation protocol assessing consistency, initiative, scope, magnitude, and horizon. Beyond straightforward prompting pipelines, we propose a structured analytical framework that converts collective decision-making events into an interpretable, adaptive, and traceable behavioral model, achieving stronger performance than summarization- and retrieval-based baselines. It further introduces an adapter mechanism for time-aware evolution and group-aware transfer, and traceable evidence nodes grounding each decision rule in originating historical events. Our analysis reveals temporal behavioral drift within individual groups, which the time-aware adapter effectively captures for stronger prediction, and structured cross-group similarity that enables knowledge transfer for data-scarce organizations.

Leveling3D: Leveling Up 3D Reconstruction with Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting and Geometry-Aware Generation

Feed-forward 3D reconstruction has revolutionized 3D vision, providing a powerful baseline for downstream tasks such as novel-view synthesis with 3D Gaussian Splatting. Previous works explore fixing the corrupted rendering results with a diffusion model. However, they lack geometric concern and fail at filling the missing area on the extrapolated view. In this work, we introduce Leveling3D, a novel pipeline that integrates feed-forward 3D reconstruction with geometrical-consistent generation to enable holistic simultaneous reconstruction and generation. We propose a geometry-aware leveling adapter, a lightweight technique that aligns internal knowledge in the diffusion model with the geometry prior from the feed-forward model. The leveling adapter enables generation on the artifact area of the extrapolated novel views caused by underconstrained regions of the 3D representation. Specifically, to learn a more diverse distributed generation, we introduce the palette filtering strategy for training, and a test-time masking refinement to prevent messy boundaries along the fixing regions. More importantly, the enhanced extrapolated novel views from Leveling3D could be used as the inputs for feed-forward 3DGS, leveling up the 3D reconstruction. We achieve SOTA performance on public datasets, including tasks such as novel-view synthesis and depth estimation.

LiDAR-EVS: Enhance Extrapolated View Synthesis for 3D Gaussian Splatting with Pseudo-LiDAR Supervision

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a powerful technique for real-time LiDAR and camera synthesis in autonomous driving simulation. However, simulating LiDAR with 3DGS remains challenging for extrapolated views beyond the training trajectory, as existing methods are typically trained on single-traversal sensor scans, suffer from severe overfitting and poor generalization to novel ego-vehicle paths. To enable reliable simulation of LiDAR along unseen driving trajectories without external multi-pass data, we present LiDAR-EVS, a lightweight framework for robust extrapolated-view LiDAR simulation in autonomous driving. Designed to be plug-and-play, LiDAR-EVS readily extends to diverse LiDAR sensors and neural rendering baselines with minimal modification. Our framework comprises two key components: (1) pseudo extrapolated-view point cloud supervision with multi-frame LiDAR fusion, view transformation, occlusion curling, and intensity adjustment; (2) spatially-constrained dropout regularization that promotes robustness to diverse trajectory variations encountered in real-world driving. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LiDAR-EVS achieves SOTA performance on extrapolated-view LiDAR synthesis across three datasets, making it a promising tool for data-driven simulation, closed-loop evaluation, and synthetic data generation in autonomous driving systems.

FetalAgents: A Multi-Agent System for Fetal Ultrasound Image and Video Analysis

Fetal ultrasound (US) is the primary imaging modality for prenatal screening, yet its interpretation relies heavily on the expertise of the clinician. Despite advances in deep learning and foundation models, existing automated tools for fetal US analysis struggle to balance task-specific accuracy with the whole-process versatility required to support end-to-end clinical workflows. To address these limitations, we propose FetalAgents, the first multi-agent system for comprehensive fetal US analysis. Through a lightweight, agentic coordination framework, FetalAgents dynamically orchestrates specialized vision experts to maximize performance across diagnosis, measurement, and segmentation. Furthermore, FetalAgents advances beyond static image analysis by supporting end-to-end video stream summarization, where keyframes are automatically identified across multiple anatomical planes, analyzed by coordinated experts, and synthesized with patient metadata into a structured clinical report. Extensive multi-center external evaluations across eight clinical tasks demonstrate that FetalAgents consistently delivers the most robust and accurate performance when compared against specialized models and multimodal large language models (MLLMs), ultimately providing an auditable, workflow-aligned solution for fetal ultrasound analysis and reporting.

TMR-VLA:Vision-Language-Action Model for Magnetic Motion Control of Tri-leg Silicone-based Soft Robot

In-vivo environments, magnetically actuated soft robots offer advantages such as wireless operation and precise control, showing promising potential for painless detection and therapeutic procedures. We developed a trileg magnetically driven soft robot (TMR) whose multi-legged design enables more flexible gaits and diverse motion patterns. For the silicone made of reconfigurable soft robots, its navigation ability can be separated into sequential motions, namely squatting, rotation, lifting a leg, walking and so on. Its motion and behavior depend on its bending shapes. To bridge motion type description and specific low-level voltage control, we introduced TMR-VLA, an end-to-end multi-modal system for a trileg magnetic soft robot capable of performing hybrid motion types, which is promising for developing a navigation ability by adapting its shape to language-constrained motion types. The TMR-VLA deploys embodied endoluminal localization ability from EndoVLA, and fuses sequential frames and natural language commands as input. Low-level voltage output is generated based on the current observation state and specific motion type description. The result shows the TMR-VLA can predict how the voltage applied to TMR will change the dynamics of a silicon-made soft robot. The TMR-VLA reached a 74% average success rate.

EndoDDC: Learning Sparse to Dense Reconstruction for Endoscopic Robotic Navigation via Diffusion Depth Completion

Accurate depth estimation plays a critical role in the navigation of endoscopic surgical robots, forming the foundation for 3D reconstruction and safe instrument guidance. Fine-tuning pretrained models heavily relies on endoscopic surgical datasets with precise depth annotations. While existing self-supervised depth estimation techniques eliminate the need for accurate depth annotations, their performance degrades in environments with weak textures and variable lighting, leading to sparse reconstruction with invalid depth estimation. Depth completion using sparse depth maps can mitigate these issues and improve accuracy. Despite the advances in depth completion techniques in general fields, their application in endoscopy remains limited. To overcome these limitations, we propose EndoDDC, an endoscopy depth completion method that integrates images, sparse depth information with depth gradient features, and optimizes depth maps through a diffusion model, addressing the issues of weak texture and light reflection in endoscopic environments. Extensive experiments on two publicly available endoscopy datasets show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art models in both depth accuracy and robustness. This demonstrates the potential of our method to reduce visual errors in complex endoscopic environments. Our code will be released at https://github.com/yinheng-lin/EndoDDC.

TermiGen: High-Fidelity Environment and Robust Trajectory Synthesis for Terminal Agents

Executing complex terminal tasks remains a significant challenge for open-weight LLMs, constrained by two fundamental limitations. First, high-fidelity, executable training environments are scarce: environments synthesized from real-world repositories are not diverse and scalable, while trajectories synthesized by LLMs suffer from hallucinations. Second, standard instruction tuning uses expert trajectories that rarely exhibit simple mistakes common to smaller models. This creates a distributional mismatch, leaving student models ill-equipped to recover from their own runtime failures. To bridge these gaps, we introduce TermiGen, an end-to-end pipeline for synthesizing verifiable environments and resilient expert trajectories. Termi-Gen first generates functionally valid tasks and Docker containers via an iterative multi-agent refinement loop. Subsequently, we employ a Generator-Critic protocol that actively injects errors during trajectory collection, synthesizing data rich in error-correction cycles. Fine-tuned on this TermiGen-generated dataset, our TermiGen-Qwen2.5-Coder-32B achieves a 31.3% pass rate on TerminalBench. This establishes a new open-weights state-of-the-art, outperforming existing baselines and notably surpassing capable proprietary models such as o4-mini. Dataset is avaiable at https://github.com/ucsb-mlsec/terminal-bench-env.

Closing the Loop: Universal Repository Representation with RPG-Encoder

Current repository agents encounter a reasoning disconnect due to fragmented representations, as existing methods rely on isolated API documentation or dependency graphs that lack semantic depth. We consider repository comprehension and generation to be inverse processes within a unified cycle: generation expands intent into implementation, while comprehension compresses implementation back into intent. To address this, we propose RPG-Encoder, a framework that generalizes the Repository Planning Graph (RPG) from a static generative blueprint into a unified, high-fidelity representation. RPG-Encoder closes the reasoning loop through three mechanisms: (1) Encoding raw code into the RPG that combines lifted semantic features with code dependencies; (2) Evolving the topology incrementally to decouple maintenance costs from repository scale, reducing overhead by 95.7%; and (3) Operating as a unified interface for structure-aware navigation. In evaluations, RPG-Encoder establishes state-of-the-art localization performance on SWE-bench Verified with 93.7% Acc@5 and exceeds the best baseline by over 10% in localization accuracy on SWE-bench Live Lite. These results highlight our superior fine-grained precision in complex codebases. Furthermore, it achieves 98.5% reconstruction coverage on RepoCraft, confirming RPG's high-fidelity capacity to mirror the original codebase and closing the loop between intent and implementation.
