HyMobileAgent: Data-Environment Co-Scaling for Efficient GUI AgentsHy Vision Team, Huawen Shen, Zhengyang Tang et al.
As large multimodal models move from understanding content to operating on digital environments, mobile GUI has emerged as a challenging and consequential testbed for digital embodied intelligence. Mobile agents operate under three coupled constraints: precise perception of complex interfaces, scalable acquisition of high-quality interaction data, and robust long-horizon decision making under compounding execution errors. This report presents HyMobileAgent, a mobile GUI agent built on Hy3.0-VL-A3B, a vision-native foundation model featuring native any-resolution input, an A3B-scale deployment budget, and a 32K context window to model extended interaction histories. Rather than relying solely on model scaling, we develop a joint data and environment centric scaling framework to address the key bottlenecks of mobile interaction. Our framework integrates a GUI perception flywheel combining mock-interface synthesis, rejection sampling, and icon-specific augmentation; a knowledge pipeline that transforms tutorial videos into structured interaction data; a million-scale action data pipeline deployed across more than 2000 sandbox and real-device instances with automated failure attribution; the PhoneWorld Mock App Factory, providing a resettable training environment with 34 mock applications and over 34000 tasks; and a structured Planning-and-Reflection mechanism with explicit dead-loop detection for reliable long-horizon execution. We also introduce a progressive training recipe consisting of mid-training, supervised fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning with task-specific reward designs.

MonteRET: AI Agent Enhancing Multimodal LLMs with Multi-granularity Knowledge Retrieval for Chest CT Report GenerationYi Lin, Yihao Ding, Elana Benishay et al.
Automated chest CT report generation remains challenging because clinically faithful reporting requires both whole-volume understanding and accurate description of localized anatomical findings. Here we developed and retrospectively evaluated MonteRET, a region-aware retrieval-enhanced framework for generating chest CT findings sections. MonteRET integrates global CT features with region-level anatomical representations, retrieves clinically relevant knowledge using predicted medical conditions and region-level vision-language alignment, and refines initial reports through a knowledge-guided report rewriting agent. We trained our model on a public cohort with 24,128 CT scans from RadGenome-ChestCT. We evaluated MonteRET on the public RadGenome-ChestCT test set of 1,564 CT scans and an external cohort of 82 CT scans from NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. MonteRET improved report quality, semantic similarity, and clinical efficacy compared with a matched baseline and several state-of-the-art methods. Gains were most pronounced for recall, suggesting fewer omitted findings. Human expert evaluation by radiology residents also favored MonteRET.

3D Geometric Tooth Alignment Planning via Deep Reinforcement LearningYong Li, Jianwen Lou, Jiayue Ma et al.
3D geometric tooth alignment planning, which determines sequential trajectories from initial malocclusion to the final target alignment, is a cornerstone of modern digital orthodontics. This paper presents a novel deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework to automate the generation of these alignment paths. We formulate the planning process as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) to capture its sequential decision-making nature, focusing on optimizing geometric trajectories while integrating essential spatial constraints, such as inter-dental collision avoidance and path efficiency. The proposed method leverages the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm, enhanced by three key innovations: (1) a Transformer-based agent to model complex spatial interactions between teeth and manage high-dimensional state-action spaces; (2) a dynamic masking scheme that restricts movement to a sparse subset of teeth per step, better reflecting the clinical logic of sequential alignment; and (3) a two-stage curriculum learning strategy that gradually increases task difficulty to ensure training stability and efficient path discovery. We evaluate our approach on a dataset of 10K expert-designed treatment plans based on clinical data. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms existing baselines in terms of path safety and geometric efficiency, providing a robust and automated solution for 3D geometric orthodontic alignment planning.
DGSfM: Depth-Guided Scale-Aware Global Structure-from-MotionSithu Aung, Viktor Kocur, Yaqing Ding et al.
Global Structure-from-Motion (SfM) is an efficient paradigm for recovering camera poses and sparse 3D structure from unordered images. However, its reliance on scale-ambiguous epipolar geometry makes global positioning sensitive to noisy baseline estimates and weak view-graph constraints, while false edges from visually ambiguous pairs can further degrade reconstruction. We propose DGSfM, a depth-aware global SfM pipeline that uses monocular depth maps as a scalable prior while preserving explicit multi-view optimization. For each image pair, we use a depth-aware relative pose solver to convert scale-ambiguous epipolar constraints into scale-aware relative pose constraints. We further improve robustness through view-graph filtering and depth-consistency-based correspondence pruning, which suppress false edges and matches that remain plausible under epipolar geometry alone. Finally, global scale averaging and depth-guided pose-point initialization align monocular depth maps into a common reconstruction scale and provide stable initialization for global positioning and bundle adjustment. Experiments on ETH3D and IMC2021 show that DGSfM consistently improves over strong global SfM baselines across sparse and dense matching front-ends, achieving substantial gains in pose accuracy.

InternVLA-A1.5: Unifying Understanding, Latent Foresight, and Action for Compositional GeneralizationHaoxiang Ma, Junhao Cai, Xiaoxu Xu et al.
Unified models for robot manipulation aim to equip one policy with both the semantic priors of pretrained VLMs and the physical dynamics learned through future prediction. In practice, existing designs tend to erode the semantics of the pretrained backbone, suffer interference among heterogeneous objectives, and learn future prediction from scratch in pixel space, leaving the dynamics priors of pretrained video generators unexploited. We present InternVLA-A1.5, which builds the policy on a native VLM backbone that keeps training on VQA and subtask prediction, and attaches a lightweight unified expert for continuous action generation. Future prediction is recast as a latent-querying problem, where a small set of learnable foresight tokens condenses the task-relevant future into a compact latent code under the supervision of a frozen pretrained video generation model, so the policy inherits world-model dynamics priors without ever learning pixel-level generation. The video branch is discarded at inference, keeping real-time control. Pretrained on 1.2M robot episodes and 3M multimodal samples, InternVLA-A1.5 achieves the best overall results on all six simulation benchmarks. In the real world, the preserved semantics deliver the strongest compositional generalization on held-out instruction bindings, and the two designs together sustain long-horizon execution.

Towards Precision Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Clinical-Reasoning LLM for Risk Stratification and Treatment GuidancePeng Cui, Jitao Wang, Siyan Xue et al.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Current guidelines and staging systems provide coarse categories, but often miss within-stage heterogeneity and the clinical context in electronic medical records (EMRs). We present HCC-STAR (Hepatocellular Carcinoma Staging, Treatment And pRognosis), a clinically aligned large language model that reads routine EMR narratives and jointly outputs risk score-based staging, ranked guideline-consistent treatments with evidence-based rationales, and individualized survival estimates. We curated about 30,000 HCC cases from SEER and expanded them into EMR-style narrative training data using a clinician-validated, prompt-based augmentation workflow. On this corpus, we developed a knowledge-aligned reasoning framework optimized with a step-verifiable composite reward, moving beyond text-level memorization of clinical guidelines. In a multi-center cohort of 6,668 patients from 12 hospitals in China, HCC-STAR achieved state-of-the-art performance in treatment recommendation and risk stratification compared with clinical guidelines and competitive models, including GPT-5 and Gemini-2.5 Pro. Hypothetical overall-survival analysis showed a median survival of 51 months under adherence to HCC-STAR recommendations, compared with 29 and 32 months under BCLC and CNLC. In clinician-centric evaluations, blinded hepatobiliary specialists rated HCC-STAR's reasoning and evidence-based justifications as trustworthy. The model surpassed resident and attending physicians in treatment accuracy and helped physicians make more accurate decisions faster when used as an assistant. These findings support HCC-STAR as a reliable and verifiable decision-support system for risk stratification and precision therapy in HCC.

Agents with Feelings? Personality and Emotion in Multi-Agent Software TeamsYunyan Ding, Thomas Zimmermann, Iftekhar Ahmed
Multi-agent LLM systems for Software Engineering (SE) typically differentiate agents through roles and workflows, but little is known about how agents' behavioral profiles affect team performance. We investigate the impact of personality and emotion profiles on LLM agent teams using a psychology-informed framework that combines Big Five personality traits, basic emotions, SE-relevant work styles, and task roles. We evaluate 78 team-profile configurations across code generation and code review using four LLMs and 659 task instances. Results show that profile choice substantially affects both performance and team behavior. For code generation, the gap between the best and worst shared-profile configurations reaches 7.1-11.3 percentage points in pass@1 across models, while the best mixed-profile configuration outperforms the best shared-profile configuration in six of eight model-task settings. Profiles also influence collaboration dynamics and cost: fear and high-conscientiousness profiles increase revision activity, over-revision, and token usage without consistent performance gains. These findings identify agent profiles as an important design dimension in multi-agent SE systems, affecting not only task outcomes but also the efficiency of collaboration.

Spatio-Temporal Gaussian Process for Building Terrain-Incorporating Wind Power CurvesAhmadreza Chokhachian, V. Roshan Joseph, Yu Ding
Accurate modeling of wind turbine power curves is crucial for optimal wind farm operation. Nearly all existing power curve models focus on temporal variables such as wind speed and temperature while overlooking the influence of terrain covariates, which governs inflow wind conditions and thus also affects wind power production. This paper proposes a nonparametric spatio-temporal Gaussian process model that integrates temporal environmental covariates with spatial terrain features. The model falls in the category of spatial-temporal Gaussian process models with data on a grid. The challenge to be addressed is that the spatio-temporal modeling require certain temporal alignment among the data, a property that the wind farm data does not have. Our solution strategy is to construct a shared representative temporal covariate set which not only aligns the temporal inputs but also has a size an order of magnitude smaller than the original data size. With this transformation, our resulting model is able to employ a separable kernel structure that captures both spatial and temporal dependencies. Empirical analysis on a real wind farm dataset shows that our method improves predictive accuracy over existing baselines and can be used to quantify the various impact of the terrain characteristics on turbine performance.

SmoothAgent: Efficient Long-Horizon LLM-Based Agent Serving with Lookahead Context EngineeringZaifeng Pan, Qianxu Wang, Zhengding Hu et al.
LLM-based agents execute multi-turn workflows with continuously growing contexts, where LLM calls are interleaved with tool invocations and environment feedback. To maintain model quality, modern agent frameworks rely on context engineering strategies such as offloading, reduction, and isolation to control the context length. However, these strategies introduce significant context transformation overhead: each transformation invalidates existing KV caches and triggers re-prefill, leading to increased time-to-first-token (TTFT). In this paper, we identify that context transformations are segment-decomposable, where the transformation of a prefix is independent of future tokens. This property enables transformations to be executed ahead of time. Based on this insight, we propose a lookahead programming model that allows agent frameworks to express context transformations as asynchronous operations without modifying their execution logic. The runtime proactively executes these transformations and prepares transformed KV caches in advance, enabling direct context replacement without blocking. We further design a lookahead-aware scheduler in LLM serving systems to support these asynchronous requests alongside latency-critical workloads with controlled interference. We implement our approach to support representative context engineering strategies and integrate it into existing agent frameworks and LLM serving systems. Experiments show that our approach effectively eliminates transformation overhead and reduces TTFT by up to 11.9x.

MVP-Nav: Multi-layer Value Map Planner NavigatorWenyuan Xie, Shaokai Wu, Yijin Zhou et al.
Zero-shot Object Goal Navigation (ZSON) with RGB-only perception poses a fundamental challenge for embodied agents, as the absence of explicit depth information introduces severe physical uncertainty and semantic-physical misalignment. Existing approaches either rely on high-level semantic reasoning without geometric grounding or learn end-to-end policies that lack explicit physical constraints, often resulting in semantically plausible but physically unsafe behaviors. In this paper, we propose MVP-Nav, a physical-aware RGB-only navigation framework that aligns perception, planning, and control with the real 3D world. MVP-Nav reconstructs explicit physical occupancy from monocular observations by leveraging 3D foundation models to project 2D semantic instances into 3D oriented bounding boxes, forming a global spatial semantic representation. To unify high-level semantic reasoning and low-level physical constraints, we introduce a Multi-layer Value Map (MVM) that integrates semantic priorities and reconstructed geometry into a shared cost space, enabling physically grounded geometric planning. Extensive experiments on zero-shot object navigation benchmarks demonstrate that MVP-Nav significantly outperforms existing depth-free methods, achieving state-of-the-art performance and validating that structured physical priors can effectively compensate for the absence of active depth sensors.

HAT-4D: Lifting Monocular Video for 4D Multi-Object Interactions via Human-Agent CollaborationJiaxin Li, Yuxiang Wu, Zhenkai Zhang et al.
Extracting dynamic 4D object interactions from massive, in-the-wild monocular videos offers a highly efficient data collection pathway for scaling Embodied AI and training VLAs. However, existing monocular 4D reconstruction methods primarily focus on isolated objects, often failing under the severe occlusions and complex dynamics inherent in multi-object interactions. To bridge this gap, we propose HAT-4D, the first agentic framework designed to reconstruct the 3D geometry, temporal dynamics, and physical interactions of multiple objects from a single video. By integrating VLMs with a multi-level human-in-the-loop feedback mechanism, HAT-4D efficiently resolves depth ambiguities and interaction-induced occlusions during 3D generation and 4D propagation, yielding physically plausible assets without relying on expensive multicamera rigs. As a scalable data engine, HAT-4D facilitates the creation of MVOIK-4D, an open-world benchmark for monocular 4D interaction reconstruction, accompanied by a novel multi-dimensional evaluation protocol focused on physical plausibility and temporal consistency. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HAT-4D achieves SOTA performance on most evaluation metrics, while maintaining competitive semantic alignment. Ablation studies show that introducing a small amount of human feedback improves interaction reconstruction. Moreover, the data produced by HAT-4D effectively improves baseline performance when used for fine-tuning. Our data and code are available at https://lijiaxin0111.github.io/HAT4D/

Mitigating Position Bias in Transformers via Layer-Specific Positional Embedding ScalingChangze Lv, Zhenghua Wang, Yiran Ding et al.
Large Language Models (LLMs) still struggle with the ``lost-in-the-middle'' problem, where critical information located in the middle of long-context inputs is often underrepresented or lost. While existing methods attempt to address this by combining multi-scale rotary position embeddings (RoPE), they typically suffer from high latency or rely on suboptimal hand-crafted scaling strategies. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a layer-specific positional embedding scaling~(LPES) method that assigns distinct scaling factors to each layer. LPES achieves a more balanced attention distribution without fine-tuning model parameters or increasing inference delay. A specially designed genetic algorithm is employed to efficiently select the optimal scaling factors for each layer by incorporating Bézier curves to significantly reduce the search space. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LPES effectively mitigates positional attention bias and delivers consistent improvements across multiple long-context benchmarks, yielding up to an $11.2$\% accuracy gain on the key-value retrieval dataset.
