WearWow: Native 2K Multi-Garment Virtual Try-On via Adaptive Token Packing and Preference AlignmentXujie Zhang, Runyan Du, Song Chang et al.
Synthesizing native 2K multi-garment virtual try-on is a formidable frontier in digital fashion, critically bottlenecked by two fundamental limitations: the O(N^2) memory explosion induced by 2k conditions, and the spectral bias of diffusion models that over-smooths high-frequency fabric details. We present WearWow, an end-to-end, mask-free generative framework that pioneers ultra-high-resolution multi-garment synthesis. To mitigate the memory explosion , we propose Adaptive 2D Token Packing (ATP). ATP leverages inherent garment sparsity to algorithmically pack heterogeneous items onto a unified 2D canvas and prune uninformative background tokens, minimizing the effective sequence length and subsequent memory overhead while rigorously preserving 2D spatial priors. To rectify texture degradation, we introduce the Multi-dimensional Try-on Reward (MTR) system. MTR synergizes a Semantic Guidance Reward to explicitly drive tactile restoration with a Cloth Distribution Reward to implicitly anchor the physical distribution, a joint formulation that effectively mitigates the severe reward hacking. Furthermore, we curate WearWow-2K, an extreme-quality dataset comprising native 2K triplets, providing physically correct spatial interactions that naturally empower the model's mask-free generation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that WearWow establishes a new state-of-the-art, exceeding existing commercial baselines in native 2K multi-garment synthesis.

SLAI T-Rex: Full-Parameter Post-training of the DeepSeek-V4 Family on Ascend SuperPODDongfang Li, Xiaodong Luo, Ruoyu Sun et al.
Full-parameter post-training of trillion-parameter-scale MoE models introduces substantial system-level challenges for large-scale distributed training, including severe memory pressure, non-overlapped communication overhead, and inefficient kernel execution. While most large-scale LLM training systems are built around GPU-based clusters, this report presents an end-to-end optimization practice on the Ascend NPU SuperPOD. Using the DeepSeek-V4 model family as the target workload, we develop a hierarchical optimization framework spanning model-level parallelism, computation-communication orchestration, and low-level kernel execution. The resulting system achieves 34.22% Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU) with a 2.93x improvement over the open-source baseline recipe while maintaining training stability. Building on this optimized infrastructure, we further establish a CPT and SFT workflow for complex Operations Research (OR) tasks. We refer to the integrated framework as SLAI T-Rex. Using DeepSeek-V4-Flash, we develop OR-oriented CPT and SFT data pipelines that combine collected domain resources with solver-verified synthetic optimization documents. The resulting dataset contains 10K high-quality SFT samples spanning four task categories and three problem representations. The specialized model achieves the highest average zero-shot Pass@1 score among the evaluated models, reaching 71.81% and outperforming GPT-5.4-Mini and the base DeepSeek-V4-Flash model by 3.98 and 11.27 percentage points, respectively. Overall, this work demonstrates a full-stack pathway from efficient trillion-parameter model post-training on Ascend infra to domain-specialized Flash models for solver-grounded mathematical modeling, advancing frontier-model systems for complex reasoning.

An Automated Framework for Extracting Reachable Attack Chains from Cyber Threat Intelligence ReportsWenbo Hou, Ning Hu, Xueping Wang et al.
Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) reports richly describe real-world attack processes, but their unstructured narratives cannot be directly used for automated attack-path reasoning. Existing CTI extraction methods focus on indicators, entities, or TTP labels without modeling the execution conditions and resulting states of each attack step, so the extracted knowledge supports neither state matching nor reachability analysis across multi-stage attack chains. This paper proposes an automated framework that extracts reachable attack chains by modeling each attack step as an attack unit of preconditions, an attack behavior, and postconditions. A multi-stage pipeline assisted by large language models (LLMs) extracts attack behavior skeletons, recovers their preconditions and postconditions, normalizes them into predefined predicates, and repairs broken dependencies; the resulting units are compiled into Datalog-style rules for attack-goal reachability reasoning. On a dataset of 20 CTI reports containing 334 human-validated annotated steps, our framework achieves higher annotated-step coverage than representative CTI extraction systems in recovering attack behaviors. Moreover, by explicitly generating preconditions and postconditions, it produces attack units that are more complete and consistent than those generated by end-to-end LLM baselines. On the extracted chains, Datalog inference reaches the specified attack goal in 19 of 20 reports, while backward search yields 34 attack paths under the generated rules. The source code and experimental artifacts are available in an anonymized repository. .

LISA: Linear-Indexed Sparse Attention for Efficient Long-Context ReasoningYu Zhao, Zekun Zhang, Fan Jiang et al.
Recent advances in long chain-of-thought reasoning models such as DeepSeek-R1 have led to increasingly longer inference context lengths under the test-time scaling paradigm. However, the O(n^2) computational complexity of standard self-attention causes inference costs to grow sharply with long sequences, limiting the deployment of long-CoT reasoning in production settings. To address this, we propose LISA (Linear-Indexed Sparse Attention), a plug-and-play attention replacement module that requires no pretraining from scratch. LISA integrates two lightweight components in parallel within the original model: (1) a Linear Attention module that provides long-range memory with O(n) time complexity; (2) a Lightning Indexer that selects the top-M important tokens from the full context to feed into a Sparse Self-Attention. The two branches are fused via a gating mechanism, reducing inference complexity from O(n^2) to O(nM) (M << n) for generating n tokens. We design a two-stage training pipeline: Stage 1 initializes the model by integrating the linear attention to capture long-range dependencies, complemented by a sliding-window attention mechanism that is optimized via knowledge distillation to approximate the full self-attention distribution of a frozen teacher model. In Stage 2, we further introduce the Indexer to replace the static sliding-window mechanism, enabling dynamic token selection from broader contexts. The Indexer is trained using a novel per-head KL divergence loss, which aligns its selection behavior with the attention patterns of the teacher model. Experiments on DeepSeek-distilled-Qwen models demonstrate that LISA achieves a 50% inference speedup under 16K-token context, while improving average performance by 5.6% on reasoning benchmarks including AIME and MATH-500.
