Mobile health (mHealth) applications support health management through rich data collection and self-reflection, yet the quality of their visualizations varies widely. A key limitation is the suboptimal design of visualizations for small-screen devices. We argue that this gap is partly driven by a lack of specialized developer tools. Existing libraries primarily target desktop or general-purpose mobile use, providing limited support for health-specific semantics such as normal ranges, thresholds, and goals. As a result, developers often resort to custom solutions that are inconsistent or hard to interpret. We therefore advocate for dedicated mobile visualization libraries tailored to personal health data and mobile contexts, and discuss key design considerations including intelligent defaults, built-in health annotations, and fluid interactions. Such libraries can lower barriers, promote consistency, and enable more accessible and interpretable mHealth applications.

We introduce Ling 2.0, a series reasoning-oriented language foundation built upon the principle that every activation boosts reasoning capability. Designed to scale from tens of billions to one trillion parameters under a unified Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) paradigm, Ling 2.0 emphasizes high sparsity, cross-scale consistency, and efficiency guided by empirical scaling laws. The series includes three non-thinking (instruct) models - Ling-mini-2.0, Ling-flash-2.0, and Ling-1T - ranging from 16B to 1T total parameters and achieving up to 7-fold active-compute efficiency compared with dense counterparts. Ling 2.0 integrates coordinated innovations across model architecture, pre-training, post-training, and infrastructure: a high-sparsity MoE with MTP for efficient reasoning, reasoning-oriented data and mid-training CoT activation, reinforcement-based fine-tuning (DFT, Evo-CoT), and full-scale FP8 training with fine-grained heterogeneous pipelines. At the trillion scale, Ling-1T establishes a new Pareto frontier of reasoning accuracy versus computational efficiency, demonstrating that sparse activation, when properly aligned with reasoning objectives, enables scalable and efficient intelligence. Collectively, Ling 2.0 provides a coherent, open, and efficient foundation for advancing future reasoning and thinking models, including the Ring series built upon the same base.

In-time and accurate assessments of on-road vehicle emissions play a central role in urban air quality and health policymaking. However, official insight is hampered by the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) procedure conducted in the laboratory annually. It not only has a large gap to real-world situations (e.g., meteorological conditions) but also is incapable of regular supervision. Here we build a unique dataset including 103831 light-duty gasoline vehicles, in which on-road remote sensing (ORRS) measurements are linked to the I/M records based on the vehicle identification numbers and license plates. On this basis, we develop an ensemble model framework that integrates three machining learning algorithms, including neural network (NN), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and random forest (RF). We demonstrate that this ensemble model could rapidly assess the vehicle-specific emissions (i.e., CO, HC, and NO). In particular, the model performs quite well for the passing vehicles under normal conditions (i.e., lower VSP (< 18 kw/t), temperature (6 ~ 32 °C), relative humidity (< 80%), and wind speed (< 5m/s)). Together with the current emission standard, we identify a large number of the dirty (2.33%) or clean (74.92%) vehicles in the real world. Our results show that the ORRS measurements, assisted by the machine-learning-based ensemble model developed here, can realize day-to-day supervision of on-road vehicle-specific emissions. This approach framework provides a valuable opportunity to reform the I/M procedures globally and mitigate urban air pollution deeply.

In this paper, we introduce a new sensor-based control method that regulates (by means of robot motions) the heat transfer between a radiative source and an object of interest. This valuable sensorimotor capability is needed in many industrial, dermatology and field robot applications, and it is an essential component for creating machines with advanced thermo-motor intelligence. To this end, we derive a geometric-thermal-motor model which describes the relationship between the robot's active configuration and the produced dynamic thermal response. We then use the model to guide the design of two new thermal servoing controllers (one model-based and one adaptive), and analyze their stability with Lyapunov theory. To validate our method, we report a detailed experimental study with a robotic manipulator conducting autonomous thermal servoing tasks. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first time that temperature regulation has been formulated as a motion control problem for robots.
