Interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method on very general polygonal and polyhedral meshes

Mu Lin, Junping Wang, Yanqiu Wang et al.

This paper focuses on interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin methods for second order elliptic equations on very general polygonal or polyhedral meshes. The mesh can be composed of any polygons or polyhedra which satisfies certain shape regularity conditions characterized in a recent paper by two of the authors in [17]. Such general meshes have important application in computational sciences. The usual $H^1$ conforming finite element methods on such meshes are either very complicated or impossible to implement in practical computation. However, the interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method provides a simple and effective alternative approach which is efficient and robust. This article provides a mathematical foundation for the use of interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin methods in general meshes.

Constitutional Classifiers++: Efficient Production-Grade Defenses against Universal Jailbreaks

Hoagy Cunningham, Jerry Wei, Zihan Wang et al.

We introduce enhanced Constitutional Classifiers that deliver production-grade jailbreak robustness with dramatically reduced computational costs and refusal rates compared to previous-generation defenses. Our system combines several key insights. First, we develop exchange classifiers that evaluate model responses in their full conversational context, which addresses vulnerabilities in last-generation systems that examine outputs in isolation. Second, we implement a two-stage classifier cascade where lightweight classifiers screen all traffic and escalate only suspicious exchanges to more expensive classifiers. Third, we train efficient linear probe classifiers and ensemble them with external classifiers to simultaneously improve robustness and reduce computational costs. Together, these techniques yield a production-grade system achieving a 40x computational cost reduction compared to our baseline exchange classifier, while maintaining a 0.05% refusal rate on production traffic. Through extensive red-teaming comprising over 1,700 hours, we demonstrate strong protection against universal jailbreaks -- no attack on this system successfully elicited responses to all eight target queries comparable in detail to an undefended model. Our work establishes Constitutional Classifiers as practical and efficient safeguards for large language models.

Humanoid Whole-Body Manipulation via Active Spatial Brain and Generalizable Action Cerebellum

Zhizhao Liang, Yi-Lin Wei, Xuhang Chen et al.

In this paper, we explore spatial-aware humanoid whole-body manipulation task. Compared with tabletop settings, this task poses two key challenges: 1) Spatial understanding is challenging in complex 3D environments with diverse spatial relations. 2) Action generation is difficult to generalize, as limited and costly real-robot data restricts data-driven models generalization. To address these challenges, we propose a generalizable humanoid loco-manipulation framework that leverages the spatial perception and action generation capabilities of multi-agent large models. Specifically, our framework includes two components: Active Spatial Brain for active spatial perception and decision-making, and Generalizable Action Cerebellum for executable robot action generation. The first component actively perceives the spatial scene and makes decisions on task planning and subtask decomposition. The second component generate executable robot actions based on the decisions made by the first module without needs of task-specific real robot data. To benchmark our framework, we design a set of spatial manipulation tasks from two perspectives: evaluating spatial perception and understanding, and assessing real-robot task performance. The results demonstrate strong performance on both aspects across diverse tasks and environments.

BiDexGrasp: Coordinated Bimanual Dexterous Grasps across Object Geometries and Sizes

Mu Lin, Yi-Lin Wei, Jiaxuan Chen et al.

Bimanual dexterous grasping is a fundamental and promising area in robotics, yet its progress is constrained by the lack of comprehensive datasets and powerful generation models. In this work, we propose BiDexGrasp, consists of a large-scale bimanual dexterous grasp dataset and a novel generation model. For dataset, we propose a novel bimanual grasp synthesis pipeline to efficiently annotate physically feasible data for dataset construction. This pipeline addresses the challenges of high-dimensional bimanual grasping through a two-stage synthesis strategy of efficient region-based grasp initialization and decoupled force-closure grasp optimization. Powered by this pipeline, we construct a large-scale bimanual dexterous grasp dataset, comprising 6351 diverse objects with sizes ranging from 30 to 80 cm, along with 9.7 million annotated grasp data. Based on this dataset, we further introduce a bimanual-coordinated and geometry-size-adaptive dexterous grasping generation framework. The framework lies in two key designs: a bimanual coordination module and a geometry-size-adaptive grasp generation strategy to generate coordinated and high-quality grasps on unseen objects. Extensive experiments conducted in both simulation and real world demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed data synthesis pipeline and learned generative framework.
