Enhancing LLM Generation with Knowledge Hypergraph for Evidence-Based Medicine

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) plays a crucial role in the application of large language models (LLMs) in healthcare, as it provides reliable support for medical decision-making processes. Although it benefits from current retrieval-augmented generation~(RAG) technologies, it still faces two significant challenges: the collection of dispersed evidence and the efficient organization of this evidence to support the complex queries necessary for EBM. To tackle these issues, we propose using LLMs to gather scattered evidence from multiple sources and present a knowledge hypergraph-based evidence management model to integrate these evidence while capturing intricate relationships. Furthermore, to better support complex queries, we have developed an Importance-Driven Evidence Prioritization (IDEP) algorithm that utilizes the LLM to generate multiple evidence features, each with an associated importance score, which are then used to rank the evidence and produce the final retrieval results. Experimental results from six datasets demonstrate that our approach outperforms existing RAG techniques in application domains of interest to EBM, such as medical quizzing, hallucination detection, and decision support.

G-Boost: Boosting Private SLMs with General LLMs

Due to the limited computational resources, most Large Language Models (LLMs) developers can only fine-tune Small Language Models (SLMs) on their own data. These private SLMs typically have limited effectiveness. To boost the performance of private SLMs, this paper proposes to ask general LLMs for help. The general LLMs can be APIs or larger LLMs whose inference cost the developers can afford. Specifically, we propose the G-Boost framework where a private SLM adaptively performs collaborative inference with a general LLM under the guide of process reward. Experiments demonstrate that our framework can significantly boost the performance of private SLMs.

TimeStep Master: Asymmetrical Mixture of Timestep LoRA Experts for Versatile and Efficient Diffusion Models in Vision

Diffusion models have driven the advancement of vision generation over the past years. However, it is often difficult to apply these large models in downstream tasks, due to massive fine-tuning cost. Recently, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has been applied for efficient tuning of diffusion models. Unfortunately, the capabilities of LoRA-tuned diffusion models are limited, since the same LoRA is used for different timesteps of the diffusion process. To tackle this problem, we introduce a general and concise TimeStep Master (TSM) paradigm with two key fine-tuning stages. In the fostering stage (1-stage), we apply different LoRAs to fine-tune the diffusion model at different timestep intervals. This results in different TimeStep LoRA experts that can effectively capture different noise levels. In the assembling stage (2-stage), we design a novel asymmetrical mixture of TimeStep LoRA experts, via core-context collaboration of experts at multi-scale intervals. For each timestep, we leverage TimeStep LoRA expert within the smallest interval as the core expert without gating, and use experts within the bigger intervals as the context experts with time-dependent gating. Consequently, our TSM can effectively model the noise level via the expert in the finest interval, and adaptively integrate contexts from the experts of other scales, boosting the versatility of diffusion models. To show the effectiveness of our TSM paradigm, we conduct extensive experiments on three typical and popular LoRA-related tasks of diffusion models, including domain adaptation, post-pretraining, and model distillation. Our TSM achieves the state-of-the-art results on all these tasks, throughout various model structures (UNet, DiT and MM-DiT) and visual data modalities (Image, Video), showing its remarkable generalization capacity.

Get In Video: Add Anything You Want to the Video

Video editing increasingly demands the ability to incorporate specific real-world instances into existing footage, yet current approaches fundamentally fail to capture the unique visual characteristics of particular subjects and ensure natural instance/scene interactions. We formalize this overlooked yet critical editing paradigm as "Get-In-Video Editing", where users provide reference images to precisely specify visual elements they wish to incorporate into videos. Addressing this task's dual challenges, severe training data scarcity and technical challenges in maintaining spatiotemporal coherence, we introduce three key contributions. First, we develop GetIn-1M dataset created through our automated Recognize-Track-Erase pipeline, which sequentially performs video captioning, salient instance identification, object detection, temporal tracking, and instance removal to generate high-quality video editing pairs with comprehensive annotations (reference image, tracking mask, instance prompt). Second, we present GetInVideo, a novel end-to-end framework that leverages a diffusion transformer architecture with 3D full attention to process reference images, condition videos, and masks simultaneously, maintaining temporal coherence, preserving visual identity, and ensuring natural scene interactions when integrating reference objects into videos. Finally, we establish GetInBench, the first comprehensive benchmark for Get-In-Video Editing scenario, demonstrating our approach's superior performance through extensive evaluations. Our work enables accessible, high-quality incorporation of specific real-world subjects into videos, significantly advancing personalized video editing capabilities.

WeGen: A Unified Model for Interactive Multimodal Generation as We Chat

Existing multimodal generative models fall short as qualified design copilots, as they often struggle to generate imaginative outputs once instructions are less detailed or lack the ability to maintain consistency with the provided references. In this work, we introduce WeGen, a model that unifies multimodal generation and understanding, and promotes their interplay in iterative generation. It can generate diverse results with high creativity for less detailed instructions. And it can progressively refine prior generation results or integrating specific contents from references following the instructions in its chat with users. During this process, it is capable of preserving consistency in the parts that the user is already satisfied with. To this end, we curate a large-scale dataset, extracted from Internet videos, containing rich object dynamics and auto-labeled dynamics descriptions by advanced foundation models to date. These two information are interleaved into a single sequence to enable WeGen to learn consistency-aware generation where the specified dynamics are generated while the consistency of unspecified content is preserved aligned with instructions. Besides, we introduce a prompt self-rewriting mechanism to enhance generation diversity. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of unifying multimodal understanding and generation in WeGen and show it achieves state-of-the-art performance across various visual generation benchmarks. These also demonstrate the potential of WeGen as a user-friendly design copilot as desired. The code and models will be available at https://github.com/hzphzp/WeGen.

AoECR: AI-ization of Elderly Care Robot

Autonomous interaction is crucial for the effective use of elderly care robots. However, developing universal AI architectures is extremely challenging due to the diversity in robot configurations and a lack of dataset. We proposed a universal architecture for the AI-ization of elderly care robots, called AoECR. Specifically, based on a nursing bed, we developed a patient-nurse interaction dataset tailored for elderly care scenarios and fine-tuned a large language model to enable it to perform nursing manipulations. Additionally, the inference process included a self-check chain to ensure the security of control commands. An expert optimization process further enhanced the humanization and personalization of the interactive responses. The physical experiment demonstrated that the AoECR exhibited zero-shot generalization capabilities across diverse scenarios, understood patients' instructions, implemented secure control commands, and delivered humanized and personalized interactive responses. In general, our research provides a valuable dataset reference and AI-ization solutions for elderly care robots.

Unlocking Multi-Modal Potentials for Dynamic Text-Attributed Graph Representation

Dynamic Text-Attributed Graphs (DyTAGs) are a novel graph paradigm that captures evolving temporal edges alongside rich textual attributes. A prior approach to representing DyTAGs leverages pre-trained language models to encode text attributes and subsequently integrates them into dynamic graph models. However, it follows edge-centric modeling, as in dynamic graph learning, which is limited in local structures and fails to exploit the unique characteristics of DyTAGs, leading to suboptimal performance. We observe that DyTAGs inherently comprise three distinct modalities-temporal, textual, and structural-often exhibiting dispersed or even orthogonal distributions, with the first two largely overlooked in existing research. Building on this insight, we propose MoMent, a model-agnostic multi-modal framework that can seamlessly integrate with dynamic graph models for structural modality learning. The core idea is to shift from edge-centric to node-centric modeling, fully leveraging three modalities for node representation. Specifically, MoMent presents non-shared node-centric encoders based on the attention mechanism to capture global temporal and semantic contexts from temporal and textual modalities, together with local structure learning, thus generating modality-specific tokens. To prevent disjoint latent space, we propose a symmetric alignment loss, an auxiliary objective that aligns temporal and textual tokens, ensuring global temporal-semantic consistency with a theoretical guarantee. Last, we design a lightweight adaptor to fuse these tokens, generating comprehensive and cohesive node representations. We theoretically demonstrate that MoMent enhances discriminative power over exclusive edge-centric modeling. Extensive experiments across seven datasets and two downstream tasks show that MoMent achieves up to 33.62% improvement against the baseline using four dynamic graph models.

UniDyG: A Unified and Effective Representation Learning Approach for Large Dynamic Graphs

Dynamic graphs are formulated in continuous-time or discrete-time dynamic graphs. They differ in temporal granularity: Continuous-Time Dynamic Graphs (CTDGs) exhibit rapid, localized changes, while Discrete-Time Dynamic Graphs (DTDGs) show gradual, global updates. This difference leads to isolated developments in representation learning for each type. To advance representation learning, recent research attempts to design a unified model capable of handling both CTDGs and DTDGs. However, it typically focuses on local dynamic propagation for temporal structure learning in the time domain, failing to accurately capture the structural evolution associated with each temporal granularity. In addition, existing works-whether specific or unified-often overlook the issue of temporal noise, compromising the model robustness and effectiveness. To better model both types of dynamic graphs, we propose UniDyG, a unified and effective representation learning approach, which scales to large dynamic graphs. We first propose a novel Fourier Graph Attention (FGAT) mechanism that can model local and global structural correlations based on recent neighbors and complex-number selective aggregation, while theoretically ensuring consistent representations of dynamic graphs over time. Based on approximation theory, we demonstrate that FGAT is well-suited to capture the underlying structures in CTDGs and DTDGs. We further enhance FGAT to resist temporal noise by designing an energy-gated unit, which adaptively filters out high-frequency noise according to the energy. Last, we leverage our FGAT mechanisms for temporal structure learning and employ the frequency-enhanced linear function for node-level dynamic updates, facilitating the generation of high-quality temporal embeddings. Extensive experiments show that our UniDyG achieves an average improvement of 14.4% over sixteen baselines across nine dynamic graphs.

RAD: Training an End-to-End Driving Policy via Large-Scale 3DGS-based Reinforcement Learning

Existing end-to-end autonomous driving (AD) algorithms typically follow the Imitation Learning (IL) paradigm, which faces challenges such as causal confusion and the open-loop gap. In this work, we establish a 3DGS-based closed-loop Reinforcement Learning (RL) training paradigm. By leveraging 3DGS techniques, we construct a photorealistic digital replica of the real physical world, enabling the AD policy to extensively explore the state space and learn to handle out-of-distribution scenarios through large-scale trial and error. To enhance safety, we design specialized rewards that guide the policy to effectively respond to safety-critical events and understand real-world causal relationships. For better alignment with human driving behavior, IL is incorporated into RL training as a regularization term. We introduce a closed-loop evaluation benchmark consisting of diverse, previously unseen 3DGS environments. Compared to IL-based methods, RAD achieves stronger performance in most closed-loop metrics, especially 3x lower collision rate. Abundant closed-loop results are presented at https://hgao-cv.github.io/RAD.

Improving the Stability of GNN Force Field Models by Reducing Feature Correlation

Recently, Graph Neural Network based Force Field (GNNFF) models are widely used in Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation, which is one of the most cost-effective means in semiconductor material research. However, even such models provide high accuracy in energy and force Mean Absolute Error (MAE) over trained (in-distribution) datasets, they often become unstable during long-time MD simulation when used for out-of-distribution datasets. In this paper, we propose a feature correlation based method for GNNFF models to enhance the stability of MD simulation. We reveal the negative relationship between feature correlation and the stability of GNNFF models, and design a loss function with a dynamic loss coefficient scheduler to reduce edge feature correlation that can be applied in general GNNFF training. We also propose an empirical metric to evaluate the stability in MD simulation. Experiments show our method can significantly improve stability for GNNFF models especially in out-of-distribution data with less than 3% computational overhead. For example, we can ensure the stable MD simulation time from 0.03ps to 10ps for Allegro model.
