Traditional approaches to wearable health signal analysis, such as smartwatches, are constrained by rigid analytical frameworks and limited personalisation. The emergence of LLM agents creates a new opportunity for Personal Health Agentic Analysis, where health insights can be generated adaptively and in context. However, currently there is no open-source locally deployable platform capable of processing personal health data in real time while preserving privacy. We present HiMe, a locally deployable, privacy-first agent platform that is fully compatible with real-time health data ecosystems across a wide range of wearable devices. HiMe is guided by three design principles. The database is treated as a first-class component. Effectiveness and efficiency are jointly optimised to achieve a low-cost Pareto-optimal balance. Data are processed in real time while the user is modelled over the long term. Together, these principles make it practical for individuals to harness Personal Health Agents for continuous, personalised health monitoring for better wellbeing.

Generative Recommendation (GR) has emerged as a new paradigm for sequential recommendation, in which a representative line of work encodes items into hierarchical semantic IDs via residual quantization and predicts the IDs token by token. However, this generative formulation still exhibits structural gaps with respect to the recommendation task: flattening multi-token IDs into a single sequence destroys item-level structure, and the inconsistency between training and inference over a hierarchical codebook gives rise to semantic drift. To bridge these two gaps, we propose BARGE, which employs Item Context-Aware Attention (ICA) to restore item-level structure during encoding, and Hierarchical Path Reranking (HPR) together with Dual-Path Decoding (DPD) to suppress semantic drift from two complementary angles during decoding. Extensive experiments and analytical studies on public benchmarks and a large-scale offline test demonstrate that BARGE achieves superior recommendation performance. An online A/B test on a Tencent platform yields improvements of 0.60% in click-through rate, 1.34% in click unique visitors, and 1.70% in total reading time, confirming the practical value of BARGE in industrial-scale recommendation.

Score Entropy Discrete Diffusion (SEDD) parameterizes discrete reverse processes with unconstrained positive score ratios. While positivity guarantees nonnegative reverse jump rates, it does not ensure Bayes realizability: ratios at a noisy state need not be jointly induced by any clean-token posterior under the forward kernel. The score-entropy loss has the correct population optimum but does not enforce this constraint away from it. In a trained pure-uniform SEDD checkpoint, roughly one quarter of complete score vectors violate the coordinate box, while more than half lie inside it yet remain materially incompatible with any valid posterior. Such violations can produce negative pre-normalization weights in finite-step sampling. Projecting raw scores onto the bridge polytope removes all observed negative weights and improves external generative PPL from $203.6$ to $175.1$ without changing the sampler. We introduce \emph{mean-to-score} (M2S), which predicts a clean-token posterior mean and converts it to the score through an exact kernel-dependent linear map. The construction applies to any known coordinate-wise continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) satisfying a mild support condition. For uniform corruption, it maps the probability simplex onto the bridge polytope; for absorbing-mask corruption, the resulting objective recovers MD4 exactly. In a controlled 28.4M-parameter CIFAR-10 comparison, M2S lowers test BPD from $3.173$ to $3.129$ and FID-50k from $\CifarSEDDFID$ to $\CifarMtwoSFID$. A 170M-parameter M2S model trained on about 262B OpenWebText token slots outperforms the evaluated pure-uniform SEDD, GIDD, and Neural CTMC checkpoints at every tested sampling budget, reaching generative PPL $143.3$ at 128 steps versus $183.6$ for the strongest pure-uniform baseline.
