VisTCP: A Visualization Framework to Construct Knowledge-Graph-Based Representation for Traditional Chinese Painting

Zhiguang Zhou, Fengling Zheng, Miaoxin Hu et al.

Structured representation can characterize semantic objects and relationships in images. It provides a possible effective way for the semantic understanding of Traditional Chinese Paintings (TCPs) to better support archaeology and art history research. However, most image-oriented structured representation methods perform poorly on TCPs, due to two major challenges: 1) the objects and events of TCPs exhibit substantial differences from modern natural images, which results in semantic misunderstandings of TCPs; and 2) it is difficult to achieve accurate identification of ancient objects and events in TCPs, even for domain experts.In this paper, we propose VisTCP, a visualization framework that combines a TCP-oriented intelligent model and expert knowledge, which enables art historians to achieve trustworthy structured representations of TCPs in a human-in-the-loop manner. Firstly, we conduct a pilot study with three domain experts to build a semantic taxonomy of TCPs. Then, expert-annotated data are used to train a TCP-oriented structured representation model, which can automatically extract meaningful objects and their relationships in TCPs. To inform users of the model uncertainty, we design a joint embedding visualization view to show the differences between expert annotations and model predictions. This allows users to refine the structured representation based on their domain knowledge, enabling iterative optimization of the model. Finally, we conduct a case study, a usage scenario, and expert interviews on a real dataset to demonstrate the effectiveness of VisTCP in supporting the structured representation and semantic understanding of TCPs.

SCOPE: Leveraging Subgoal Critiques for Code Generation

Yueke Zhang, Yifan Zhang, Zihan Fang et al.

Code generation with large language models (LLMs) remains unreliable because generated programs can appear correct while still violating key semantic requirements in the natural language specification. Existing feedback-based methods improve over coder-only generation, but they often rely on unstructured critique or execution signals that do not explicitly identify what the code is semantically missing. We present SCOPE, a prover-initialized subgoal critic for code generation. SCOPE adapts a Lean-oriented prover model to produce three parseable feedback fields for downstream code generation: subgoals, gap analysis, and a robustness checklist. Our approach combines supervised fine-tuning, process-aligned reinforcement learning (RL), and feedback-guided inference, with two complementary rewards during RL: a dense reward for structured critique quality and a sparse reward based on whether the critique improves the coder's execution score. Experiments show that SCOPE improves over the compared feedback baselines. On LiveCodeBench V6, SCOPE achieves 39.4% pass@1, compared with 36.6% for Reflexion and 20.6% for the coder-only baseline. On BigCodeBench (Hard), it reaches 42.6%, surpassing Reflexion at 36.5% and coder-only generation at 34.5%. Further analysis shows that SCOPE's gains are concentrated in tasks with concrete semantic constraints and that its code corrections are more localized than Reflexion's.
