Enterprise data agents must preserve organization specific semantics, not just translate questions into queries. We present ChinaUnicom DataAgent (UniDataAgent), an ontology grounded system for reusable question-to-report analysis that separates semantic acquisition from online execution. Ontology Acquisition and Validation stage (OAV) builds versioned enterprise ontologies from metadata, business knowledge, and supporting materials through expert authored business skills, constrained generation, question verification, and selected expert review. Question-to-Report Execution (QRE) stage retrieves semantic contracts for each question, coordinates skills and data tools, validates results, and produces evidence linked reports. Across 27 enterprise tables and roughly thousands of metric types, ontology construction took a few hours instead of about one week manually. It took just a few minutes to generate the reports, instead of several working days. Ontology grounding achieved 95.0% strict accuracy on real business questions, versus 72.5% for document RAG, especially on structured and compositional tasks. The system has already been deployed to generate cost savings and has the potential to be replicated in other enterprises.

Radiologists follow heterogeneous reporting practices. Two radiologists examining the same image and identifying the same clinical findings might nevertheless compose superficially distinct reports, varying in terminology, shorthand, formatting, and level of detail. These variations in reporting norms represent an under-appreciated obstacle in efforts to evaluate AI-based radiology report generation (RRG) models, where machine-generated reports are typically assessed based on their concordance with human-generated references. In this paper, we quantify the sensitivity of established evaluation metrics to variations in reporting practices, revealing impacts large enough to alter the rankings of models. We introduce a radiologist-informed taxonomy of variations in radiology reporting practice and a method (ReRef) that rewrites reference reports along the axes of our taxonomy while preserving clinical interpretation. For instance, when comparing the performance of nine RRG models on MIMIC-CXR using RadCliQ-v1, condensing the discussion of normal findings in the reference reports causes Libra to drop from first to second place while CheXOne rises from third to first. Our results suggest that many current metrics fail to decouple clinical interpretation from conformity to reporting practices and that choosing the ``right'' references that accurately reflect the desired reporting practices can be important in practice. To support future research, we release MIMIC-CXR-Ext-ReRef, a radiologist-validated dataset of 120 (original, alternative) reference report pairs derived from MIMIC-CXR.

One-step action generation can substantially reduce the inference cost of vision-language-action (VLA) policies, but its effect on closed-loop task success remains an open question. This technical report studies a GR00T N1.7 variant in which the iterative diffusion-transformer action head is replaced by a one-step drifting action head, together with an overlap-conditioned extension for asynchronous chunk replacement. All multi-seed drifting runs were trained on two NVIDIA A800 GPUs. On LIBERO, the action head reduces the mean model-forward time of the action head from approximately $45.3\,\mathrm{ms}$ to $5.0\,\mathrm{ms}$, while the measured backbone-plus-head time falls from approximately $70.0\,\mathrm{ms}$ to $30.6\,\mathrm{ms}$. However, this speedup is accompanied by a systematic reduction in task success. Across three drifting seeds, success is $64.0\pm4.0\%$ on LIBERO-Spatial, $52.0\pm1.0\%$ on LIBERO-Goal, and $26.0\pm2.6\%$ on LIBERO-Long. The low seed variance indicates that the degradation is not explained by random initialization alone. We report the result as a speed--success trade-off rather than an overall improvement, and discuss likely contributing factors including deterministic one-step mode averaging, batch-dependent geometry estimation, long open-loop chunk execution, and the fact that synchronous LIBERO evaluation does not exercise the asynchronous overlap path.

Medical imaging modalities such as ultrasound and X-ray are widely used in clinical practice, where diagnosis follows a structured, evidence-driven workflow aligned with standardized criteria. While multimodal large language models (MLLMs) show promise for automated medical report generation, most existing systems rely on end-to-end multimodal fusion without modeling clinically defined intermediate attributes, leading to limited grounding and interpretability. To address this issue, we propose CORAL (COncept-grounded ReAsoning with Localization), a multimodal framework that integrates spatial grounding and concept-level supervision into a unified reasoning process. CORAL employs a prompt-driven medical segmentation model to localize lesions and predicts multi-class clinical attributes through a Concept Bottleneck module. The resulting textual concept tokens are combined with mask-modulated visual features within an MLLM to enable structured report generation and diagnostic prediction. Experiments on BUS-CoT and IU X-ray datasets demonstrate consistent improvements in diagnostic accuracy, concept consistency, and report quality over strong general-purpose and medical MLLMs, indicating that concept-grounded reasoning better aligns generation with clinical decision processes.

Recently, large language model (LLM) based ASR models have achieved significant progress, yet they generally lack support for multi-speaker scenarios, where the cocktail party problem remains a critical bottleneck for further advancing ASR. Existing TS-ASR methods, including end-to-end architectures with speaker embeddings and latest LLM-based explorations suffer from degraded single-speaker performance and the inability to reject when the target speaker is absent. In this paper, we propose Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1, an LLM-based end-to-end TS-ASR architecture. By utilizing reference speech as voiceprint prompts, it directly transcribes the target speaker's speech without requiring speech separation. Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1 maintains competitive performance in single-speaker scenarios, comparable to mainstream ASR models. It also features a negative sample rejection capability, outputting empty text when the target speaker is absent from the mixed speech. Additionally, Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1 supports a Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning mode to provide explicit reasoning steps. Extensive experiments on various synthetic and real-world multispeaker benchmarks demonstrate that Xiaomi-CocktailASR-1 achieves state-of-the-art performance, effectively addressing the cocktail party problem through a unified architecture that balances multispeaker and single-speaker recognition accuracy, along with rejection capability.

In recent years, automatic speech recognition (ASR) has witnessed transformative advancements driven by three complementary paradigms: data scaling, model scaling, and deep integration with large language models (LLMs). However, bridging the gap between academic benchmark performance and real-world production utility remains a persistent challenge, particularly in handling diverse regional dialects, dynamic entities and hotwords, long-range contextual information, and disfluent spontaneous speech. In this report, we present Qwen-Audio-3.0-ASR, a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) LLM-based ASR system designed to address these production demands through a unified, instruction-following framework. The model is built upon the Qwen backbone, and is trained on tens of millions of hours of large-scale speech data. Qwen-Audio-3.0-ASR supports transcription across 30 languages and 16 Chinese dialectal varieties spanning eight major dialect regions. Beyond multilingual and dialectal recognition, the model provides production-oriented capabilities including industry-domain entity recognition, hierarchical hotword customization, native single-pass transcription polishing, and long-audio contextual modeling. We further develop a dedicated streaming variant, Qwen-Audio-3.0-ASR-Streaming, for latency-sensitive applications. Extensive evaluations on Chinese, English, multilingual, and real-world industrial test sets demonstrate state-of-the-art or highly competitive recognition performance across a broad range of evaluation conditions, with strong performance relative to leading commercial and proprietary systems including GPT-4o Transcribe and Gemini 3.1 Pro.

Reliable evaluation of automated coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) report generation requires standardized multicentre benchmarks and clinically structured metrics. We established a four-centre benchmark comprising 3,021 CCTA series from 818 patient-report pairs to evaluate seven open-source three-dimensional vision-language models. We developed CSM$_{\text{CCTA}}$, a clinically structured metric for CCTA report evaluation, with patient-, vessel-, and segment-level variables defined according to clinical guidelines. Report pairs are compared at the finest shared anatomical level, and the contributions of different clinical components are weighted based on expert assessments. We estimated these weights using 70 expert-scored cases and evaluated clinical alignment in a non-overlapping set of 30 cases. CSM$_{\text{CCTA}}$ showed a strong correlation with radiologist scores (Pearson's $r=0.97$, $p<0.001$), exceeding the next-best metric, FORTE ($r=0.70$), by 0.27, and agreed with expert preferences in 115 of 160 pairwise comparisons (71.9%). Under controlled perturbations, CSM$_{\text{CCTA}}$ remained stable to clinically equivalent wording and decreased monotonically with progressive information omission. In the multicenter benchmark, the CCTA-trained C2RG model achieved the highest CSM$_{\text{CCTA}}$ scores across all four hospitals, although its performance remained far from optimal. In contrast, CCTA-irrelevant reports accounted for up to 98.7% of the outputs from generalist models. Together, the benchmark provides a standardized setting for model comparison, while CSM$_{\text{CCTA}}$ enables clinically structured evaluation of finding agreement and anatomical specificity. These results support a more clinically aligned and anatomically resolved approach to evaluating CCTA report generation. Code is available at https://openi.pcl.ac.cn/OpenMedIA/CSM_CCTA.

The rapid advancement of vision-language models (VLMs) has accelerated progress in computational pathology; however, whole-slide image (WSI)-based pathology report generation remains limited by the scarcity of large-scale WSI--report datasets and the complexity of mapping spatially distributed visual patterns to structured clinical text. To address this, we introduce a clinically curated Pan-Asia WSI--report dataset of approximately 10,500 pairs from five institutions and establish the REG 2025 benchmark through a MICCAI challenge for systematic evaluation of multimodal models. We analyze submitted methods spanning pretrained VLMs, multiple-instance learning frameworks, hierarchical expert models, retrieval-augmented generation, and cross-modal Transformers. Rather than indicating that VLM use alone was sufficient for superior performance, the results suggest that top-performing methods benefited from structured report representations, hierarchical diagnostic decomposition, and effective multimodal grounding. We identify key limitations, including instability in quantitative attribute estimation (e.g., numeric hallucination) and a tendency toward diagnostic overspecification, with some errors resembling known diagnostic pitfalls in routine pathology. These findings establish REG 2025 as a benchmark for evaluating WSI-based structured report generation and vision-language understanding in computational pathology, providing insights for the design of clinically grounded multimodal pathology models.

We argue that financial report generation should operate at the analytical rather than structural level, composing content from data-derived insights rather than high-level topics or sections. To this end, we propose AnalysisBank, which distills expert reports into a reusable library of Analyses, each pairing a data signal, an analytical move, and the expert span it was derived from. At inference time, AnalysisBank matches input signals to library entries and applies the retrieved moves to compose the report. A study of Analyses distilled from 550 expert reports reveals a heavy-tailed distribution of 47-52 signal types spanning 13 move types. On two financial benchmarks across four LLM backbones, AnalysisBank increases the proportion of novel, data-grounded insights by 1.7-3.7x over structural-level baselines. Transfer to scientific writing suggests that the distinction generalizes beyond finance. Code and the distilled Analysis library are available at https://github.com/yajingyang/AnalysisBank.

In this work, we introduce Instella-MoE, a fully open Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model with 16 billion total parameters and 2.8 billion active parameters per token, trained entirely from scratch on AMD Instinct MI300X and MI325X GPUs. Instella-MoE combines a sparsely activated MoE design with architectural and system-level innovations, including Gated Multi-head Latent Attention (Gated MLA) and FarSkip-Collective connectivity, enabling efficient large-scale training and inference. The model is developed through a multi-stage pipeline comprising pre-training, mid-training, long-context extension, supervised fine-tuning with feedback-driven data curation, direct preference optimization, and reinforcement learning with Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation. Instella-MoE achieves an average score of 76.7 across standard pre-training benchmarks, outperforming prior fully open models including OLMo-3-7B, SmolLM3-3B, and OLMoE-1B-7B, while remaining competitive with open-weight MoE and dense baselines at comparable active-parameter scales, including Moonlight-16B-A3B and Qwen3.5-4B. After post-training, our final Think checkpoint achieves an average score of 73.2 across instruction-following, reasoning, math, coding, and chat benchmarks, outperforming both fully open and open-weight models with comparable or larger active parameter counts in our evaluation. To support transparent and reproducible research, we release the complete Instella-MoE model flow, including model weights, training configurations, data mixtures, and training code. Together, these contributions establish Instella-MoE a strong, fully open foundation for efficient, high-performing MoE models and reproducible research.

Neuroradiologists rarely read a brain MRI in isolation, yet automated brain-MRI report generation has been built almost entirely for single studies. Temporal analysis has been explored on chest radiography and chest CT, but to our knowledge, longitudinal reporting for brain MRI, where interval change is often subtle and spatially distributed, remains unaddressed. We present BrainDiff, the first longitudinal vision-language system for brain MRI. BrainDiff outperforms both frontier general-purpose and single-study neuroimaging models on the same patient pairs. Moreover, BrainDiff retains 91% of internal RadGraph-XL entity+relation F1 (rg_er) on an external, cross-hospital cohort. Beyond the system, we contribute three analyses. First, we identify two independent grounding levers: a counterfactual objective with prior-report dropout, which increases measured image reliance by ~47%, and a staged curriculum. Together, these interventions raise image reliance 2.5-fold from the baseline. Second, we provide a factorial over prior-report availability and image identity, isolating a visual contribution of +0.0387 rg_er, which grows when the prior report is withheld. Third, a cheap change-decodability test for candidate backbones shows that interval change is decodable far more weakly than single-study pathology (0.60 vs. 0.77 AUROC). Code is publicly available at https://github.com/jhuldr/BrainDiff.

Accurate 3D abnormality segmentation in chest CT requires dense spatial supervision, but obtaining expert voxel-level labels is costly. Radiology reports, however, are routinely generated during clinical interpretation and contain instance-specific descriptions that can provide additional guidance without new dense annotation. Existing vision-language grounding methods typically require report-derived findings at inference, making localization dependent on paired text and limiting each forward pass to a queried finding. We propose Instance-Guided Report Anchoring (IGRA), a model-agnostic module that preserves the correspondence between each annotated abnormality instance and the report finding that describes it. IGRA pools each instance representation and anchors it to the corresponding finding embedding during training; all text-related components are discarded at inference. We further reformulate free-text grounding on ReXGroundingCT as multi-label volumetric segmentation by merging same-category instances, allowing all abnormality categories to be predicted in one image-only forward pass. IGRA improves Dice by 22.5% over the strongest image-only baseline (30.93 vs. 25.25) and is comparable to VoxTell on the single-finding subset (30.29 vs. 30.43). Applied unchanged to four standard 3D segmentation backbones, IGRA improves Dice and hit rate across all architectures. Zero-shot evaluation on LIDC-IDRI, PleThora, and a private in-house dataset further shows consistent gains over image-only baselines.

Large language models (LLMs) offer promising clinical decision support but remain vulnerable to hallucinated facts, unsupported recommendations, and citation errors. We present DIASENTINEL, a fully on-premise multi-agent system for one-year type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk screening and guideline-grounded report generation from electronic health records (EHRs). The system integrates calibrated risk prediction, deterministic clinical signal extraction, Reciprocal Rank Fusion over American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines, and a hybrid verification layer combining rule-based checks with LLM entailment. The demonstration provides a real-time batch-screening dashboard and an interactive patient report interface with cited recommendations, verification results, and raw EHR comparison. DIASENTINEL demonstrates a practical framework for reliable, auditable, and privacy-preserving LLM-based clinical decision support.

This report presents an improved version of AlayaWorld. While the backbone architecture, chunk-wise autoregressive generation scheme, and training data remain unchanged from the previous release, we substantially revise how conditioning signals are represented and integrated into the model. The new design is guided by a simple principle: conditioning signals should match the generated content as closely as possible in both latent representation and temporal structure. To this end, we make two major changes. First, we replace the previous depth-warping-based spatial memory with a streaming 3D point-cache renderer. Second, we redesign the conditioning pipeline so that visual conditions are encoded in the same causal-VAE latent space, with temporal statistics consistent with those of the generated video. Concretely, the new version introduces six modifications: (1) replacing static-frame image conditioning with motion-aware latent conditioning; (2) causally encoding re-rendered spatial memory as a continuous sequence; (3) aligning the temporal-memory window in pixel space; (4) adopting hard memory dropout that removes memory tokens rather than zeroing them; (5) unifying the VAE encoding and decoding protocol across training and inference; and (6) removing the camera AdaLN branch, such that viewpoint control is provided entirely through the re-rendered spatial condition.

Thyroid ultrasound diagnosis requires coordinated lesion localization, measurement, risk stratification and reporting, yet most AI systems address these tasks in isolation and provide limited support for clinical review. We present ThyroidXAgent, a clinician-interactive agentic AI system that coordinates specialized diagnostic tools and stores their outputs as an auditable case-level evidence record. The system was developed using OpenThyroidDB, a multicentre, multitask resource integrating approximately 0.3 million ultrasound images and 24,000 paired reports, and was evaluated on 28,458 non-overlapping test cases, including 8,721 cases from 35 centres in the private NHC-MISD-TUS cohort. Across heterogeneous datasets, ThyroidXAgent achieved a mean Dice score of 87.21 percent for nodule segmentation and a mean AUROC of 0.9466 for benign-malignant classification. The same workflow supported lymph-node metastasis prediction and follicular versus papillary thyroid carcinoma classification, with AUROCs of 0.864 and 0.805, respectively. For report generation, evidence-grounded assembly outperformed multimodal language-model baselines across three cohorts. ThyClinScore, a lesion-level clinical semantic metric introduced here, showed the strongest correlation with a location-aware language-model judge. ThyroidXAgent improved physician classification accuracy, increased report diagnostic consistency from 70.3 percent to 86.2 percent, and reduced segmentation and reporting time by 35.9 percent and 27.4 percent, respectively. These findings support auditable, clinician-correctable agentic AI for thyroid ultrasound diagnosis and reporting.

In medical imaging, the clinical value of Computed Tomography (CT) lies not only in depicting current disease status, but crucially in enabling longitudinal comparison of serial scans to determine disease evolution, a process that underpins response assessment, recurrence detection, and ongoing patient management. Yet, despite this central role of temporal comparison in clinical decision-making, existing medical foundation models remain largely confined to single-study understanding, leaving temporally grounded cross-examination insufficiently addressed. To address this gap, we study longitudinal imaging difference reporting, a task in which a model takes two temporally separated scans from the same patient and generates a clinically meaningful report describing interval changes between them. We introduce CT-$Δ$Bench, a dedicated benchmark for this task with patient-level splitting to prevent information leakage. To better evaluate this task beyond surface-level text similarity, we further develop change-aware metrics specifically designed to capture clinically meaningful longitudinal changes, and conduct an independent physician validation to assess the reliability of the synthesized references and event extraction pipeline. We also compare direct paired-CT reasoning with an indirect two-stage pipeline that first generates single-timepoint reports and then performs textual differencing. Finally, we propose DeltaMed, a baseline model for direct paired-CT difference reporting, and train it on the benchmark training set. Together, these contributions lay the groundwork for temporally aware medical foundation models that better reflect real-world longitudinal clinical reasoning.

The Relativity of Causal Knowledge (RCK) explains how a network of agents with different structural causal models can exchange causal knowledge through a shared interventionally consistent abstraction, or backbone. We ask the prior identification question that this transport mechanism presupposes: when is that backbone determined by the agents' private causal knowledge? In the basic two-agent common-effect case, two private causes influence one shared outcome and each agent identifies only the single-cause causal marginal relevant to its own perspective. We show that, under standard compatibility, non-degeneracy, and local overlap assumptions, those local causal marginals do not identify a unique backbone. Infinitely many joint intervention kernels can induce exactly the same private reports while disagreeing on joint interventions. We then give a conditional recovery result. Additive separability removes the hidden interaction degree of freedom, but observational residual summaries remain insufficient. Identification becomes possible when agents communicate causally identified response functions. An education value-added example illustrates why this is first a communication problem, and only then a policy-composition problem.

Automated radiology report generation is advancing rapidly in response to the shortage of radiologists, yet unlike a perception model, existing generation models offer no control over the sensitivity-specificity trade-off of their diagnostic content. Such control is essential because clinical scenarios diverge: emergency triage prioritizes sensitivity to reduce missed findings, whereas confirmatory interpretation emphasizes specificity to limit unnecessary interventions. A single fixed report can neither adapt to these scenarios nor support the ROC-based validation widely expected for regulatory clearance. We introduce RadFusion, a framework that equips report generation with threshold controllability. Our method fuses a multi-label classifier, which provides per-disease confidence scores, with a VQA-based report generator, which describes medical findings in detail; an LLM then rewrites the report so that its stated diagnoses follow the classifier's decisions at the selected threshold while staying grounded in the generator's descriptions. On MIMIC-CXR, the performance of RadFusion conforms to the classifier's ROC curve: sweeping the threshold and mapping the reports back to class labels reproduces the classifier's validated ROC performance. This conformance makes generated reports quantitatively evaluable through ROC analysis, strengthening the case for regulatory clearance, and enables operating-point selection that matches report behavior to clinical context. Moreover, combining the two model types improves diagnostic accuracy over uncontrolled generation: sensitivity increases by 6.9% at matched specificity, and specificity by 20.7% at matched sensitivity. These results show that RadFusion makes report generation clinically adaptable, quantitatively verifiable, and diagnostically more reliable.

We introduce Motif 3, a decoder-only Mixture-of-Experts language model with 314 billion total parameters and 13.2 billion activated per token. Each sparse MoE layer contains 384 routed experts, with eight selected per token. This fine-grained sparsity provides substantial expert capacity while limiting computation. Motif 3 is built around Grouped Differential Latent Attention (GDLA), which integrates grouped differential attention with the compressed key-value representation of Multi-head Latent Attention. The architecture further incorporates modified manifold-constrained hyper-connections, Expert Specific PolyNorm activations, and multi-token prediction to improve optimization stability, expert specialization, and inference efficiency. We pretrain Motif 3 on approximately 12.5 trillion tokens spanning web documents, STEM, code, mathematics, multilingual content, and domain-specialized corpora. Expert-balancing and numerical-stabilization techniques support stable training at scale, while selective MXFP8 computation and communication, memory-efficient fused kernels, and window-aware context parallelism enable training with context lengths up to 256K tokens. Our post-training pipeline combines general supervised fine-tuning, six specialist teachers trained with reinforcement learning, a software-engineering teacher trained with supervised fine-tuning, and Multi-teacher On-Policy Distillation. The resulting unified model consolidates complementary capabilities in reasoning, coding, tool use, professional work, long-context understanding, calibrated abstention, and instruction following. Across a broad evaluation suite, Motif 3 demonstrates competitive performance against leading open weight models, including strong results on long-horizon agentic tasks, mathematical reasoning, scientific knowledge, and hallucination-sensitive evaluation.

This paper presents RobustDefect-LLM, an industrial surface-defect inspection framework integrating deep-learning classification, operator-facing visual evidence, confidence-aware decision support, controlled AI-assisted reporting, traceable storage, and mobile interaction in a unified quality-control workflow. Here, robustness-aware denotes explicit evaluation under controlled image degradation and confidence-aware review routing, not an intrinsic robustness guarantee. Four transfer-learning-based convolutional neural networks, ResNet50, EfficientNet-B0, DenseNet121, and MobileNetV3-Large, were evaluated on 1,799 images from the six-class NEU-DET dataset using fixed training, validation, and held-out in-domain test partitions. MobileNetV3-Large achieved the highest numerical test accuracy (99.26%) and macro F1-score (0.9926), with a bootstrap 95% accuracy CI of 0.9815-1.0000. An exact paired McNemar test found no significant difference from DenseNet121 (p = 1.000). The selected model averaged 0.060 s per CPU forward pass (16.66 FPS). Under combined synthetic degradation, accuracy fell to 87.78% at mild intensity and below 40% at stronger intensities, revealing sensitivity to severe image-quality deterioration. Grad-CAM supplied visual evidence, while predictions with confidence below 0.90 or a top-2 margin below 0.10 were routed to HUMAN REVIEW. This conservative policy provided 12.22% automatic coverage and 100% observed selective accuracy among 33 eligible cases (95% CI: 89.43%-100.00%), while routing both observed classification errors to review. Under nominal controlled conditions, all 100 generated reports passed deterministic consistency checks, with a mean latency of 1.66 s. Results support the feasibility of the integrated workflow while emphasizing the need for calibration, repeated evaluation, and real-world industrial validation.

Radiology reporting is time-consuming and subject to inter-rater variability, making automated report generation an attractive clinical application for Vision-Language Models (VLMs). We benchmark state-of-the-art VLMs on lumbar spine MRI with a focus on diagnostic accuracy and demonstrate that standard lexical and semantic metrics poorly reflect clinical correctness: fluent, well-structured reports can score highly while containing clinically meaningful diagnostic errors. To address this failure mode, we propose an architecture-agnostic framework that augments VLM inputs with spatially localized, disc-level anomaly heatmaps generated by a semi-supervised U-Net++ model. These heatmaps both improve anatomical sensitivity through explicit visual grounding and provide an independent interpretability output for clinical oversight, moving us closer to diagnostically reliable, visually grounded VLMs for lumbar spine MRI interpretation.

Large language models can produce fluent financial analysis, but fluency alone does not establish whether a report is suitable for institutional delivery. We introduce FinReportBench, an expert-grounded benchmark for measuring and improving institution-grade financial report generation. Expert review reveals recurring gaps in report identity, institutional components, source discipline, and visual delivery. We derive a 35-item rubric through expert partial orders, multimodal evidence, and audits of decision boundaries, covering deliverability, report identity, and institutional completeness. Starting from 10,000 balanced Chinese and English financial-research source records, we curate 244 bilingual tasks across three research objects and two input tiers. Each task separates the public query, reconstructed research trajectory, and hidden source packet. Three independent judge families reproduce the expert partial order at near-ceiling rates, showing that bounded, observable criteria support reliable evaluation. Across nine model families, basic deliverability is nearly saturated, while report identity and institutional completeness remain the primary bottlenecks. The largest cross-model gaps concern generation-trace control, information density, and data discipline rather than basic report framing. We then use benchmark-guided skill distillation to turn recurrent failures into reusable generation and self-review constraints. Across five model families, the evolved skill improves mean G1 by 33.85 points and mean G2 by 13.83 points over paired no-skill runs while preserving G0 for every pair. Code and benchmark artifacts are available at https://github.com/MisterBrookT/finreportbench.

Automatically generating professional multimodal reports comprising both textual analysis and visual charts from structured tabular data is a critical challenge in data intelligence. Existing methods suffer from fixed linear pipelines and isolated subtask processing, which hinder joint optimization of factual accuracy, visual quality, and narrative coherence. To address these issues, this paper proposes MCTS-Report, a Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)-driven framework that formulates multimodal table-to-report generation as a progressive construction process over a structured search space. The core idea is to decompose report generation into atomic actions, including chapter planning, visualization task identification, chart generation, insight organization, and narrative refinement, each executed by an LLM based on dynamic reasoning conditioned on the current report state. We use an LLM to generate step-by-step reasoning and actions during MCTS, storing the reasoning trajectory in each node for context-aware, coherent report construction. To guide the search, we design a multi-dimensional reward function that jointly evaluates numerical fact consistency (via SQL), chart quality, chart-text alignment, and structural completeness, while incorporating a diversity penalty to suppress repeated charts and a precondition check to prune invalid actions. We also construct MMRBench, a comprehensive benchmark comprising real-world tables from six domains, paired with expert-refined reference report structures and verifiable key insights. Experiments on MMRBench demonstrate that MCTS-Report significantly outperforms strong baselines across structural completeness, numerical accuracy, chart-text alignment, and insight novelty, achieving a 77.9 overall score.

Breast core needle biopsy (CNB) is central to breast cancer diagnosis yet remains challenging because limited tissue sampling, lesion heterogeneity, and subtle morphologic overlap can obscure subtype distinctions. We developed CorePath, a breast-specialized multimodal pathology foundation model fine-tuned from PRISM using 7901 paired CNB whole-slide images and diagnostic reports from two centers. Evaluated across six CNB cohorts and two public breast pathology benchmarks without task-specific retraining, CorePath consistently outperformed PRISM across cancer detection, invasion assessment, and histological subtyping. It achieved weighted area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) of 0.9526-0.9735 for five-class CNB histological subtyping across private centers. On public benchmarks, CorePath outperformed leading pathology foundation models, achieving the highest weighted AUCs of 0.7780 for BCNB invasive carcinoma subtyping, 0.8178 for BRACS lesion stratification, and 0.8252 for BRACS fine-grained classification. In report generation, CorePath reduced the overall non-breast hallucinations from 30.1% to 2.8%, demonstrating improved domain fidelity after breast-specific adaptation. CorePath-CRG further combined conformal filtering of subtype and binary cancer status predictions with Learn-Then-Test-based threshold calibration to support selective narrative release, diagnostic fallback, and deferral. CorePath-CRG achieved zero non-breast hallucinations among released outputs and showed the strongest overall performance in pathologist-validated LLM-based Evaluation Scores and quantitative report-generation metrics across most centers. These results demonstrate that domain-specialized foundation models with statistical risk control offer a promising approach for accurate breast CNB diagnosis and reliable report generation.

Automatic radiology report generation (RRG) aims to simulate the workflow of radiologists, assisting them in clinical diagnosis. However, existing methods often fall short in utilizing all information relevant to the examination, as is typically done in clinical practice. Although some works attempt to incorporate multi-view images and historical data, these additional inputs may sometimes lead to avoidable diagnostic errors on the contrary. To address these challenges, we introduce a decision-making stage after report generation for the first time and propose a Posterior Diagnostic Decision framework (PDD-RRG) to integrate potentially conflicting diagnoses. Specifically, we create various subsets of input data and utilize an existing RRG model to generate reports from different perspectives. Then the Bayesian posterior probability and the learned thresholds for each clinical observation are calculated to obtain an aggregated diagnostic conclusion, which is subsequently used to refine the generated report. Experiments on MIMIC-CXR demonstrate that our proposed PDD-RRG can effectively enhance the clinical efficacy of existing RRG models without any retraining.

In previous work, we integrated large language models (LLMs) into the lesion segmentation model based on the ULS23 DeepLesion dataset, using short-form findings from the reports. In this study, we developed a unified 2D lesion analysis framework that integrates LLM-based reasoning, lesion bounding box detection, segmentation, and radiology report generation from the original DeepLesion dataset. In the testing phase, we achieved relatively high lesion bounding box detection accuracy with mAP50 of 70.1%, mAP50-95 of 46.4%; Lesion segmentation performance with a Dice score of 62.6%; short report generation accuracy with BLEU_1 score of 64.3%, BLEU_4 score of 49.6%, METEOR of 34.7%, and ROUGE_L of 60.1%. In this work, we address the challenging issue of segmentation in the original DeepLesion dataset and achieve a 28.5% Dice score improvement over the nnUNet lesion segmentation model. We also integrated spatial and anatomical context into the DeepLesion short report generation. We released the implementation, dataset, and models on Github. https://github.com/ruida/2D_DeepLesion_Foundation

Collaborative AI experimentation across industry and academia requires platforms that enable rapid prototyping while preserving controlled access, tenant separation, and transparent workflows. Despite growing interest in AI sandboxes, there is still limited practical guidance on how to design and implement platforms that integrate experimentation capabilities with governance requirements. This work presents the design and implementation of a governance-aware, multi-tenant AI sandbox for structured experimentation and the generation of reusable evaluation evidence across projects and stakeholder groups. The sandbox was developed within an industry-academia collaboration based on requirements that were iteratively refined with industrial partners. Its reference architecture separates the multi-tenant user interface from the backend control plane and places execution and data-management functions in dedicated layers. The platform supports governed user onboarding, project-centered collaboration, managed access to AI services, approval workflows, audit logging, and traceable experimentation. Experiment configurations, contextual information, and governance decisions are stored as persistent records, allowing evidence and outcomes to be compared and reused across projects. The development process provides practical lessons for deploying and extending governance-aware AI sandbox platforms in collaborative research and industrial environments.

Learning transferable representations from CT-report pairs requires combining whole-volume context with anatomy-specific evidence. Existing methods typically emphasize either global CT-report alignment or fine-grained anatomy-level correspondence. Global alignment preserves broad study context but leaves the contribution of localized evidence implicit, whereas anatomy-level alignment explicitly grounds local findings but does not specify how independently represented evidence should interact, acquire study-level meaning, and contribute to a global CT representation. To address this gap, we propose SCOPE (Semantic Calibration Of comPosed Evidence), a framework for semantically calibrated evidence composition in CT vision-language learning. Under organ-specific report supervision, mask-guided queries with fixed anatomical identities extract context-aware organ evidence from shared, uncropped volumetric features, while an unrestricted global query retains access to whole-volume context. The global query then drives Local-Global Coupling to compose the organ evidence into a unified evidence representation. The composed evidence is subsequently calibrated using the diagnostic summary, providing study-level semantic supervision beyond local organ descriptions, and is finally integrated as a controlled residual into a context-preserving whole-volume representation aligned with the complete report. This progressive pathway connects localized evidence with study-level semantics without reducing the CT representation to a predefined set of organs. On CT-RATE and RadChestCT, SCOPE achieves macro AUCs of 85.0 and 72.2, respectively, outperforming the previous SOTA by 7.2 and 4.2, while also yielding substantial gains in linear probing and cross-modal retrieval. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of semantically calibrated evidence composition.

Vision-language models remain underused in colonoscopy despite the rich expert descriptions recorded in routine reports. These reports document lesion appearance, size and location but summarise entire procedures rather than caption individual frames, leaving clinical findings only weakly linked to the corresponding images. Here we develop EndoCLIP, a colonoscopy vision-language foundation model trained on 125,756 lesion-level image-text pairs progressively recovered from 280,476 routine colonoscopy records. Across lesion-level image-text retrieval, structured report generation and six multi-centre clinical classification tasks, EndoCLIP outperforms general-purpose and biomedical vision-language encoders in both zero-shot and linear-probe settings. On benign-versus-malignant classification, its linear probe approaches the performance of expert readers in a blinded study involving 12 endoscopists. These results suggest that recovering finding-to-frame correspondence can transform routine documentation into scalable supervision, enabling clinical targets to be specified in language rather than separately annotated for each task.

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are difficult to detect and interpret due to their multi-stage and stealthy nature. While recent autonomous defense systems leverage provenance graphs and learning-based models for detection and mitigation, their outputs remain largely machine-oriented and difficult for analysts to interpret. Large language models (LLMs) offer a promising interface for report generation, but often produce hallucinated or weakly grounded content. In this paper, we propose DeepFaith, an evidence-grounded framework for faithful incident reporting in multi-stage APT defense. DeepFaith transforms structured outputs from autonomous defense and explainability modules into natural-language reports that are explicitly aligned with underlying system evidence. The framework integrates a unified evidence representation, evidence-grounded prompting, faithfulness-aware generation, and post-generation verification to ensure that all generated statements are supported. Experiments in a realistic enterprise testbed demonstrate that DeepFaith improves faithfulness from 0.68 to 0.92, reduces unsupported claims from 0.32 to 0.08, and increases temporal consistency from 0.6 to 0.88, while maintaining concise reports and lower error rates than existing template-based and LLM-based solutions. These results show that evidence-grounded generation enables reliable, interpretable, and actionable reporting for security operations centers.

Trustworthy deployment of AI-based diagnosis in safety-critical mechanical systems hinges on validation: whether a prediction can be checked against physical reality before it is acted upon. Current intelligent fault diagnosers fail this standard in two ways. Their standard output, a class label with a softmax confidence score, is an internal statistic of the classifier, offering nothing checkable against independent physical knowledge; and the growing use of generative language models in maintenance reporting adds a second risk: hallucinated content entering reports on which decisions rest. Taking bearing fault diagnosis as the testbed, this work addresses both problems from the output side. The proposed Diagnostic Evidence Network (DENet) is an encoder-agnostic multi-task framework extending the output to a structured evidence record: the classification, a predicted characteristic frequency comparable against the theoretical value determined by bearing geometry and shaft speed, and a temporal localization of transient impulses inspectable on the raw waveform. Across four encoders and three public datasets, this evidence incurs no statistically significant accuracy cost, with a frequency error of about 6 Hz on 1,024-point segments where spectral estimation is structurally inapplicable. Centrally, the deviation between predicted and theoretical frequency constitutes a label-free, inference-time validation signal: it detects misclassifications with AUROC values of 0.970 and 0.871, and remains discriminative in the high-confidence regime where confidence-derived detectors are blind. Finally, a QLoRA-adapted language model is constrained to translate, but never generate, diagnostic content, reducing unsupported-claim rates from 10-12% to 2% and eliminating fabricated quantities.

Automating radiology report generation is important for improving reporting consistency and clinical workflows . While Contrastive Language--Image Pretraining (CLIP) has advanced medical vision language modeling, existing CLIP-style approaches may still provide insufficient fine-grained semantic supervision for complex report generation. Standard CLIP primarily optimizes cross-modal alignment, without explicitly structuring the textual embedding space that guides visual representation learning. To address this limitation, we propose TextSLIP, a general medical vision-language pretraining framework that augments CLIP with intra-modal text contrastive learning. By improving textual embedding discriminability through self-supervised augmented text pairs, TextSLIP is designed to provide finer-grained linguistic supervision to the visual encoder. As an initial validation, we pretrain TextSLIP on a curated dataset of 7 million brain MRI image-text pairs and fine-tune the pretrained visual encoder within a report generation architecture. In controlled comparisons with CLIP-style baselines, TextSLIP shows consistent improvements on report generation metrics. Ablation studies further suggest that text-side self-supervision contributes to the observed gains. These results indicate that text-level contrastive learning is a promising direction for improving medical visual-textual alignment, while broader validation across additional medical domains remains an important next step.

We present Solar Open 2, a 250B-A15B Mixture-of-Experts language model built for long-horizon agentic tasks, scaled up from Solar Open 1 (Solar Open 100B). To hold entire agent trajectories in a single context, Solar Open 2 reaches a 1M-token window through a hybrid attention stack that interleaves one softmax layer among every three linear-attention layers, using no positional encoding and a gated delta rule extended to negative eigenvalues. To train at this scale under a fixed compute budget, we make training efficient in two ways: a stronger starting point, and higher-value data. For the starting point, we initialize Solar Open 2 from Solar Open 1, transferring the 5.69B-parameter shared skeleton that survives the architectural change and learning everything else through full pre-training. For the data, we curate for value per token: quality- and rarity-aware data curation and mixture-ratio optimization refine a 20T pool into a 10T mixture that, at equal token budget, outperforms the Solar Open 1 recipe. To build its agent skills, we train twelve domain specialists across purpose-built scenarios, then consolidate them into a single model by Multi-teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD). Against comparably sized open-weight models on English benchmarks, Solar Open 2 leads on MMLU-Pro, LiveCodeBench, and the APEX-Agents agentic suite, and stays competitive with the strongest (DeepSeek-V4-Flash and MiMo-V2.5) elsewhere. On Korean benchmarks, Solar Open 2 records the highest average of any model compared, including fast-tier closed APIs, and on Ko-GDPval, an in-house Korean officework-agent benchmark, it is competitive with DeepSeek-V4-Pro (1.6T) at less than a sixth of its size.

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. .

The allocation of visual attention by pathologists during cancer diagnosis is a highly selective process that critically shapes the information extracted from whole-slide images (WSIs). Human attention helps medical imaging tasks such as classification and segmentation, and becomes a strong semantic cue for identifying diagnostically informative regions for report generation. In this paper, we introduce human attention into the training of pathologist report generation models. To this end, we collected a multimodal human-attention dataset of 121 prostate WSIs annotated with pathologists' multi-scale viewport trajectories synchronized with the pathologists' verbal descriptions and cursor movements for five clinically relevant components (e.g., Gleason patterns). Using this dataset, we finetune two report generation models with an attention-alignment loss that regularizes the model attention over image patches to match the distribution of pathologist attention. We evaluate our approach on prostate cancer report generation and visual question answering using two models with different internal attention mechanisms (i.e., how image tokens are integrated into the language decoder). Experiments show average gains of 10.9% on NLP-based metrics and 19.3% in accuracy across five clinically relevant report components. Further, model attention maps extracted at inference time, with minimal computational overhead, align more closely with pathologist attention, providing stronger visual support for the generated reports by highlighting the regions that most influence the output.

Pathology report generation from whole-slide images (WSIs) is a rapidly growing multimodal learning problem, yet progress is difficult to measure because existing studies use heterogeneous datasets, model settings, visual encoders, and evaluation protocols. Moreover, commonly used natural language generation metrics, including BLEU, ROUGE, and METEOR, primarily reward lexical similarity and often fail to detect clinically consequential errors such as omitted diagnoses, hallucinated findings, or discordant tumor attributes. We present a standardized benchmark and evaluation framework for pathology report generation. The benchmark evaluates four representative methods across three datasets (TCGA, HistAI, and REG 2025) using three pathology foundation encoders (CONCHv1.5, UNI2-h, and H-Optimus-1). Our framework standardizes preprocessing, feature extraction, training, decoding, and evaluation, enabling fair comparison across models while providing a modular platform for integrating new methods, datasets, and encoders. A central contribution is the Clinical Report Quality Score (CRQS), a clinically grounded metric for evaluating factual correctness. CRQS maps reference and generated reports into structured clinical attributes and measures four complementary dimensions: clinical fact coverage, key information recall, hallucination rate, and clinical discordance, producing both an overall score and interpretable sub-scores. Experiments demonstrate that conventional language-generation metrics are weakly aligned with clinical correctness and frequently overestimate report quality. In contrast, CRQS reveals clinically meaningful differences between models and encoders that lexical metrics fail to capture. Together, the benchmark, public plug-and-play framework, and CRQS establish a reproducible foundation for rigorous evaluation of pathology report generation.

Grounded in human rights-based frameworks such as the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of AI, the Global Index on Responsible AI (GIRAI) examines how countries translate responsible AI commitments into enforceable protections, institutional capacity, and redress mechanisms. GIRAI 2026 assesses these across five dimensions: Inclusion and Diversity, Ethics and Sustainability, Labour and Skills, Trust and Safety, and AI Use in Public Service. A global network of 135 country-level researchers collected and assessed 68,138 data points on 38 indicators organised across three pillars: government AI policy and implementation (17 indicators), civil society engagement (5), enabling conditions (15), and documented cases of government deployment of unacceptable-risk AI systems. The data covers November 2023 to September 2025. A score of 100 is derived from the indicators to rank all countries. Findings show that while responsible AI governance is expanding, with 126 of 135 countries having at least one government policy or initiative across the 17 AI Policy indicators, this does not often translate into meaningful protection. For instance, Global South countries account for 203 of 306 new cases of indicators with frameworks since the first edition, yet 78% of their frameworks remain non-binding compared with 42% in the Global North. Government commitment to AI governance also does not extend to their own algorithms: whereas Transparency and Explainability is the strongest performing indicator, with 58% of countries having some framework, only 18% require Public Disclosure of Government Algorithms. Credible evidence of government deployment of unacceptable-risk AI systems was also found in 35 countries. These findings show that responsible AI governance must move beyond framework adoption toward enforceable rights-based protections, resourced oversight institutions, and accessible redress.

Music generation foundation models have recently attracted significant industry attention. However, achieving efficient generation and high-fidelity long-form audio while supporting controllability remains challenging. To address these needs, we present \textbf{WanSong}, a simple yet powerful approach for long-form, commercial-grade song generation. Unlike autoregressive (AR) and cascaded multi-stage pipelines (\eg, AR followed by diffusion), \textbf{WanSong} is a pure diffusion-based model that directly generates high-fidelity, multilingual songs up to 5 minutes and outputs dual stems (vocals and background music) in a single run. In addition, our diffusion framework enables faster inference through step-distillation, and offers an efficient pathway for fine-tuning and customization to support downstream editing tasks.

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) and their extension to vision-language models (VLMs) have made it easier to combine text and images for tasks such as report generation. Existing VLMs in medicine typically focus on 2D images (chest X-rays), and their extension to 3D imaging has been difficult because of the lack of paired 3D imaging-text data. Thus, we introduce a new method for creating a 3D image-text dataset for brain oncology using 3D MRI scans of glioma and meningioma cases. We use a cooperative system in which several LLMs work together to generate and check reports, ensuring that they are accurate and clear. By leveraging the new 3D MRI-text dataset, we further build a VLM that converts MRI scans into tokens and aligns them with text instructions. Our VLM performed better in report generation and visual question answering tasks than other 2D and 3D methods. Our method not only improves the quality of reports but also helps with better diagnosis and treatment in brain oncology.

Feature-attribution methods are central to explainable artificial intelligence. Their assumptions are expressed in several mathematical languages: cooperative-game values, path integrals, gradient operators, perturbation distributions, and backpropagation rules. This survey proposes a common framework for local additive feature attribution. It organizes Shapley, path-based, gradient/backpropagation, perturbation, and CAM-style methods around five specification choices: value function, reference, path, perturbation distribution, and conservation rule. It then compares these methods through an axiom-by-method matrix and links common failure modes, including baseline sensitivity, off-manifold perturbations, sanity-check failures, adversarial manipulation, and method disagreement, to the assumptions that produce them. Finally, the survey proposes a ten-item reporting checklist for studies that use local additive attributions. The central message is that attribution results are meaningful only relative to the mathematical assumptions under which they are defined, and that those assumptions should be reported.

Computed tomography (CT) vision-language pretraining from paired volumes and radiology reports is a scalable yet challenging task. Existing methods commonly adopt global scan-report contrast, which is scalable but obscures heterogeneous organ evidence. Meanwhile, direct organ-level alignment remains coarse, since the same anatomy can exhibit multiple distinct radiological appearances. Therefore, pretraining requires a finer alignment unit: the organ-conditioned radiological pattern. In this work, we propose OCP-CT, an organ-conditioned pattern-token alignment framework for CT vision-language pretraining. Specifically, OCP-CT preserves a stable global CT-report contrastive branch and introduces an organ pattern interface: sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routes image and text tokens according to latent radiological patterns, learnable slots query the routed tokens into continuous pattern tokens, and paired token contrast aligns image-text pattern tokens with structured soft targets built from report-derived clinical similarity. On the publicly available CT-RATE and RAD-ChestCT benchmarks, OCP-CT achieves average AUROCs of 84.5% and 69.9% for zero-shot abnormality diagnosis, respectively. Compared with the strongest prior reported results, these results yield absolute AUROC gains of 6.7 and 0.8 percentage points.

We introduce OvisOCR2, a 0.8B document parsing model. OvisOCR2 is designed as an end-to-end parser: given a document page image, it generates a Markdown representation in natural reading order, covering text, formulas, tables, and visual regions. We build a data engine that combines filtered real-document annotations with synthetic pages whose rendered images and Markdown targets are derived from the same HTML source. The training recipe includes supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning on a 4B branch with a multi-component reward design, on-policy distillation into the 0.8B model, and model fusion. On OmniDocBench v1.6, OvisOCR2 achieves a state-of-the-art overall score of 96.58, placing an end-to-end model at the top of this leaderboard previously dominated by pipeline methods and highlighting the potential of end-to-end document parsing. On PureDocBench, OvisOCR2 also achieves the highest Avg3 score of 75.06. Beyond these two public benchmarks, we evaluate OvisOCR2 on an in-house benchmark designed to cover a broader set of long-tail and challenging scenarios. OvisOCR2 obtains the best overall performance among the compared methods, providing further evidence of its generalization and robustness. OvisOCR2 is available at https://huggingface.co/ATH-MaaS/OvisOCR2.

Identifying root causes in production microservice failures requires reasoning over large-scale, multimodal telemetry spanning metrics, logs, and traces, a problem that has proved resistant to both classical and LLM-based approaches. The OpenRCA dataset exemplifies these challenges: it is large-scale, multimodal, and lacks detailed domain knowledge, and yields consistently low accuracy across all existing methods. We show that classical causal discovery methods and existing LLM-based multi-agent systems fail to reliably identify root causes on this benchmark, and present a Structured Multi-Agent RCA pipeline that substantially outperforms existing LLM-based and classical baselines, supporting both domain-knowledge and knowledge-free operating modes. To diagnose where failures originate, we introduce a reverse reasoning agent that, given the correct answer, identifies which signals in the extracted anomalies support it and determines whether Stage~1 had access to those signals, classifying each failure as Reasoning Gap (evidence present but unused) or Data Ambiguity (evidence genuinely absent). This analysis reveals that the required evidence is present in the vast majority of failures: the bottleneck is not data access but the agent's ability to reason over it correctly. We further introduce an automated rule mining pipeline that systematically extracts discrimination rules from reverse reasoning reports, reducing reliance on manual knowledge curation. Across all configurations, model reasoning capability and domain knowledge are the primary constraints: stronger models embed more domain expertise, and explicit knowledge injection partially compensates for this gap. Reasoning performance remains practically bounded even when evidence extraction is perfect: scaffold engineering and better data pipelines alone cannot close this gap; progress requires improvements at the model level.

Aligned language models routinely misreport under non-evidential incentive pressure: they agree with a confident user or overstate certainty even when their internal belief is unchanged. We cast this as a failure of internal incentive-compatibility (IC) and present a method for learning and certifying counterfactual report mediators that hold a model's reports to a causal contract: invariant to forbidden influences (pressure, prestige, restyling) and responsive to licensed ones (genuine evidence). These two demands, resist and update, pull in opposite directions. We study them on a Bayesian-witness benchmark with known posteriors, in which the same user disagreement is licensed evidence or forbidden pressure purely by stated source reliability. We (i) causally identify, by interchange interventions rather than probe accuracy, low-rank report coordinates for answer, confidence, and caveat that are near-orthogonal and independently controllable, and (ii) introduce a training-free counterfactual report-coordinate (CRC) clamp that references the model's own report under a counterfactually incentive-neutralized context. On the witness benchmark the two-pass clamp attains resist and update of 1.00 jointly (Wilson 95% CI [0.99,1.00]), a causal certificate under a constructible reference, not a deployed solution. Global decoding and steering show a single-parameter tradeoff; output-level fine-tuning matches both objectives only when both are enumerated; resist-only training loses evidence-responsiveness. The deployable single-pass compilation is lossy (0.73/0.97). The mechanism and clamp reproduce across three model families and transfer to a natural sycophancy benchmark (SycophancyEval). Our contribution is the interface and certification method: activation-level counterfactual incentive-invariance as a structural primitive for internal IC.

Self-evolving agent systems improve by creating, revising, and retiring their own skills, but every such loop rests on a hidden assumption: a reliable evaluation metric already exists. In many real applications it does not. We make three claims. First, metrics can be \emph{evolved}: our metric loop searches compositions of small drawback detectors under a full evolutionary lifecycle, trained to agree with a ten-item anchored reference set, regularized by consensus over unlabeled outputs, and audited against a held-out anchor it never reads, yielding a transparent, inspectable metric rather than an opaque judge. Second, since no metric exists to beat, the yardstick is recovering what an accurate metric would have enabled, and \emph{Double Ratchet}, our co-evolution of the metric with a lifecycle-managed skill loop, does so: across code generation (MBPP+), enterprise text-to-SQL (Spider~2.0-Snow), and reference-free report generation, it retains 88--110% of the held-out lift achieved by the same skill loop driven by ground truth or the best available rubric. Third, safety comes from anchor discipline plus outer audits: removing anchor guards collapses the metric into a vacuous detector while removing the lifecycle does not; and when evolved skills gamed the report rubric, an independent judge caught it, one detector repaired it, and a task-aware judge then preferred the evolved outputs over the pre-evolution baseline in 77% of decided pairs. We argue this failure-expecting architecture is the right default wherever no reliable automatic verifier exists.

Deep research agents are increasingly used to produce long-form financial reports, yet large-scale evaluation remains bottlenecked by the need for human experts to define and execute high-quality rubrics. We address this problem by proposing a scalable pipeline for generating high-quality rubrics without human experts in the final loop. We build a financial deep research benchmark from 104 real-world user queries and automatically synthesize 14,450 query-specific candidate rubrics from model-generated reports. To justify removing human experts from rubric execution, we compare rubric judgments from three human experts with those from a three-LLM judge panel on a sampled subset, and show that LLM-based evaluation is sufficiently consistent with human evaluation to replace it for large-scale rubric screening, including 98.67% label-level agreement on jointly unanimous items. We then derive consensus-derived gold rubrics through two filters: a strict consistency filter, which keeps a rubric only if the three LLM judges unanimously agree on every report under the same query, and a distinguishability filter, which keeps a rubric only if it assigns at least one majority-yes and at least one majority-no label across the evaluated systems. This process retains 3,687 consistency-passed rubrics, of which 2,600 remain distinguishable and form the final set of consensus-derived gold rubrics. Using this final rubric set, we obtain clearly differentiated rankings across 10 deep research systems, with item-level pass rates ranging from 58.58% to 22.23%. More broadly, because the pipeline removes human-expert execution from rubric generation and evaluation, it is naturally scalable for benchmark evaluation, automatic system comparison, and future studies of evaluation-driven system improvement.

We introduce Qwen-Music, a music generation model that produces high-fidelity songs with complete vocals. It supports text-to-music generation from descriptions, lyrics, and musical attributes, and cover song generation with different styles and vocal characteristics. Qwen-Music comprises three components: Qwen-Music-Tokenizer, Qwen-Music-LLM, and Qwen-Music-Render. The tokenizer compresses audio into a 25 Hz single-codebook stream of Music Semantic Tokens that preserve semantic and melodic information. The LLM performs autoregressive modeling with a melody-token-based chain-of-thought (Melody-CoT) mechanism that plans melodies before full-song generation, improving musicality, structural coherence, and reference-melody preservation. The renderer enriches discrete semantic tokens with acoustic details to produce high-fidelity stereo waveforms. We train the LLM using a quality-aware pre-training curriculum followed by progressive post-training with supervised initialization, offline DPO, and online GSPO to improve musicality and instruction following. On 600 evaluation inputs, Qwen-Music achieves state-of-the-art results in 13 of 16 objective musicality and audio-quality metrics. Professional evaluators also prefer Qwen-Music over leading proprietary systems. For cover generation, Qwen-Music preserves reference melodies more accurately than Suno V5.5, Suno V5, and MiniMax Cover on the AI-generated reference set, and outperforms MiniMax Cover on most metrics on the real-world popular-song reference set.

Vision-language agents (VLAs) are increasingly used to interpret complex driving scenes and support safety-critical reasoning. This report presents the CVPR 2026@AdvML Workshop Challenge on adversarial multimodal attacks against autonomous-driving VLAs. Built on DriveLM-style multi-view visual question answering, the challenge represents each scene with six synchronized camera images and a structured collection of driving-related question-answer pairs. Participants generate adversarial images and suffix-only textual perturbations that induce model responses to deviate from reference answers while preserving image fidelity and limiting textual cost. The competition comprises two phases, with Phase II adding a hidden black-box model to assess transferability. We describe the task design, submission rules, evaluation protocol, and leaderboard results, and then examine five leading submissions for which technical reports were available. Across these reports, several recurring patterns emerge: image-side attacks are favored by the suffix penalty; scene-level, multi-view optimization is more effective than treating views in isolation; QA types and graph structure provide useful priors for allocating attack budget; feature-space objectives can improve black-box transfer; and typographic content embedded in camera images exposes a persistent vulnerability in driving VLAs. These findings provide a practical reference for future robustness evaluation and defense design in multimodal autonomous-driving systems.

LLM-based agents are increasingly deployed to solve optimization problems, yet existing benchmarks evaluate them on pre-structured mathematical formulations that bypass the most critical challenge: translating complex business requirements into correct models and solve efficiently. We introduce Opti-Agent-Bench, an end-to-end benchmark that evaluates Large Language Models (LLMs) across the complete optimization R&D pipeline, from understanding business-language descriptions through mathematical modeling, algorithm selection, and code implementation, to solution report generation. Our design rests on three pillars: (1) businesssemantic authenticity with anti-template traps that defeat pattern matching; (2) modular evaluation with cross-module consistency checking across Problem Understanding, Formal Modeling, Implementation, and Reporting; and (3) the ORAC bi-level validity framework that simultaneously ensures task quality and scoring integrity. Across several industrialscale tasks spanning integer programming, robust optimization, stochastic programming, and non-convex optimization, we expose critical failure modes of current models, including constraint omission, model-code inconsistency, and report-implementation divergence, that remain invisible under conventional single-metric evaluation.

We present Index-1.9B, a series of open small language models developed at Bilibili. The series comprises four models: Index-1.9B-Base, a foundation model with 1.9 billion non-embedding parameters pre-trained on 2.8 trillion predominantly Chinese and English tokens; Index-1.9B-Pure, a control variant trained with an identical recipe but with all instruction-like data strictly filtered from the corpus; Index-1.9B-Chat, aligned from the base model with supervised fine-tuning and direct preference optimization; and Index-1.9B-Character, which augments the chat model with retrieval-augmented generation for few-shot role-playing customization. Pre-training employs a Warmup-Stable-Decay learning-rate schedule in which the concentration of curated data is raised substantially during the decay phase, together with a Norm-Head output layer that stabilizes training under large learning rates. On a suite of standard benchmarks covering examination, reasoning, mathematics, and code, Index-1.9B-Base attains an average score of 64.92, competitive with or exceeding open models of several times its size. We further report controlled studies on model depth, learning-rate magnitude and scheduling, the interaction between learning-rate decay and data quality, and the effect of including instruction data during pre-training, and we document an unexplained surge in benchmark performance midway through the constant-learning-rate phase. All models, together with evaluation code, are released at https://github.com/bilibili/Index-1.9B.

In this paper, we study the automatic schema generation problem: given a collection of historical ship maintenance and operational reports across multiple form categories, automatically discover compact and informative schemas that capture the essential information requirements of each report type. To address this challenge, we propose ASMR, a modular agentic framework consisting of two specialized agents. A Field Generation Agent extracts semantic concepts from historical narratives and generates candidate schema fields through adaptive multi-granularity clustering, while a Structural Optimizer Agent employs reinforcement learning to identify compact, informative, and non-redundant schema representations. The resulting schemas can guide report authors toward producing more complete, consistent, and actionable reports. Preliminary results demonstrate the promise of the proposed approach and highlight several open research challenges at the intersection of data management, agentic AI, and human-centered AI.

The Internal Waves Service screens the Sentinel-1 Wave-mode archive for internal solitary waves, routing detections to experts whose adjudication time is the resource the effort exists to conserve. Because attention is the cost of error, precision leads. Its classifier was trained and reported at a one-to-one class balance, fixed before the operational rate could be known. That rate has since emerged at roughly one scene in twenty, and a balanced-test score badly overstates the precision a validator meets. A model that scores 0.794 balanced-test precision scores 0.192 in real operation: the gap is a systematic artefact of reporting at the wrong prior, invisible to the metric most work quotes. We show the mismatch to be an evaluation problem in the costume of a training one at a fixed recall, prior correction and calibration cannot move precision, and answer it with a prior-matched reporting method based on three numbers: balanced-test, operational-prior, and real post-deployment, whose contrast is the honest measure. A precision-first, leakage-controlled development cycle then improves the classifier lever by lever, each promoted only against a pre-registered margin; negative variety and the aggregation head lifting, capacity paying once then stopping, calibration inert, so the honest negatives are as much a result as the gains. Holding recall at a floor of 0.80 and certifying against a sealed, single-read lockbox, the promoted model reports 0.927 precision at the operational prior; an out-of-time check confirms discrimination transfers to unseen periods while a fixed operating point does not. Prior-matched reporting, begin balanced, then move to the prior as the stream reveals it, transfers to any operational Earth-observation service bootstrapping a rare-event detector under a prior it has yet to discover.

Automated radiology report generation (RRG) can ease radiologist workload, yet most existing systems produce a report in a single forward pass, with no mechanism to check a claim against the image or revisit a finding once stated. We present CogRad, a cognitively inspired multi-agent framework that structures generation around four stages of a radiologist's reading process. A Scout agent discovers anatomical regions directly from image patches via slot attention and assigns region and disease-level triage scores; an Investigator agent concentrates representational capacity on the regions Scout flags as suspicious; a Writer agent compiles these signals into a disease gated visual prefix for a large language model; and a Verifier agent supervises training with a visual entailment loss and, at inference, re-examines its own draft sentence by sentence, regenerating any report it judges insufficiently grounded. On CheXpert Plus, CogRad attains a BLEU-4 of 0.316 and a CIDEr of 0.322, the best scores among the methods we compare against. On IU X-Ray, it attains a BLEU-4 of 0.201 and a CIDEr of 0.724, leading every baseline on every standard NLG metric. We further evaluate CogRad with RadGraph F1, CheXbert F1, and a hallucination analysis to assess clinical accuracy beyond standard text-overlap metrics, complemented by ablation studies and Grad-CAM-based visualizations that characterize each agent's contribution and the model's visual grounding.

Radiologists routinely compare current and prior chest X-rays to track disease progression, producing follow-up reports that describe multiple findings, each localised to an anatomical region and annotated with a temporal change status. Existing automated methods either generate reports from a single image without modelling temporal context, or incorporate temporal information but do not ground their outputs spatially. The few approaches that combine temporal reasoning with spatial grounding are restricted to single-finding descriptions, leaving multi-finding reports with mixed change directions unaddressed. We present GRCD, a framework for grounded report generation from chest X-ray pairs in the multi-finding setting. We first construct a rigorously cleaned dataset of temporal chest X-ray pairs by identifying and correcting two systematic labelling errors in the source annotations. We then introduce a Region-Guided Change Token module that encodes per-region temporal change across anatomical structures and injects this signal into a language model through a dual-pathway strategy combining prepended spatial tokens with gated cross-attention. On a multi-finding test set, GRCD outperforms existing baselines on text generation and clinical accuracy metrics, with gains in change detection. Ablation studies confirm that the dual-pathway design outperforms either integration strategy in isolation on text and clinical metrics, and that region-level change encoding is necessary for multi-finding generation.

Financial markets evolve in response to real-world events reported in news, yet these drivers often remain implicit in text. To better explain market dynamics, event-market relations must be explicitly modeled through factual, company-centric, and environment-aware knowledge graphs. We present FinKG-News, a framework that automatically constructs such graphs by extracting news events as anchors linked to companies. Using FinKG-News as grounded evidence that integrates events, news, and company data, we develop an in-context learning architecture for credit risk report generation across three core financial dimensions. Automatic and human evaluations show that automated hallucination detection and quality assessment remain unreliable, making expert judgment indispensable. Our approach consistently outperforms baselines, improving quality by 19%-34% while reducing hallucinations.

Flaw reporting for deployed AI systems is fundamental to identifying system failures and improving AI safety. Yet the AI reporting ecosystem is fragmented: researchers who identify flaws often do not know what or where to report, and groups who receive reports rarely share them with other relevant stakeholders. As a result, good-faith reporters duplicate effort by submitting many different forms, and recipients lack standardized, triage-ready information. We audit 12 reporting systems published by AI developers, cybersecurity groups, and AI flaw aggregators, identifying five recurring design challenges spanning discoverability, scope, information collection, coordination, and guidance for strict-liability cases. Building on this analysis and feedback from 49 experts across 32 organizations representing developers, security researchers, and ecosystem coordinators, we introduce FLARE-AI, an open-source AI flaw reporting system designed for interoperability with existing systems. FLARE-AI streamlines flaw report creation by collecting triage-relevant information through conditional logic and early classification, then enables optional dissemination of standardized, machine-readable reports to multiple developers, coordinators, and incident registries from a single submission. By lowering barriers to reporting AI flaws and improving interoperability across stakeholders, FLARE-AI helps break down silos and accelerate remediation across the AI ecosystem.

We present a multi center breast fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) dataset designed for patch wise classification using C1 to C5 reporting labels. The prospective dataset includes 321 patients and 470 whole-slide images (WSIs) collected from participating tertiary medical centers in India between May 2023 and March 2026. Slides were stained using Papanicolaou (190 WSIs) or MayGrunwald Giemsa (280 WSIs), scanned on a Hamamatsu NanoZoomer S360 at 40X magnification and 0.25 microns per pixel, and stored directly in NDPI format. Across the 470 WSIs, 446 WSIs contain annotated patch regions, yielding 7,398 PNG image patches with expert-verified C1 to C5 labels. The release includes NDPI WSIs, WSI-level GeoJSON annotation files, extracted patch images, deidentified metadata, a data dictionary, a validation summary, a manifest linking WSIs to Zenodo records, and code for dataset inspection and reuse. The complete dataset is approximately 950 GB and is available through Zenodo.

Echocardiography is the most widely used non-invasive cardiac imaging modality, providing essential information for cardiovascular diagnosis. Interpreting an echocardiogram requires synthesizing complementary evidence across multiple heart views to identify abnormalities and produce structured clinical reports. While recent efforts focus on improving classification performance, most models lack explicit diagnostic reasoning and spatially grounded anatomical evidence, limiting clinician trust. We present EchoSonar-R, a multi-view reasoning-enabled vision-language model that jointly performs multi-label disease classification and report generation from echocardiography studies. EchoSonar-R combines a spatiotemporal video encoder with a structure-aware cardiac detector that provides spatially grounded anatomical cues to improve interpretability and clinician trust during cross-view reasoning. EchoSonar-R is trained in two stages: supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on reasoning-annotated targets, followed by Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with task-specific rewards that jointly align classification and report generation within a unified reinforcement-learning framework. Across a private multi-view dataset and two public benchmarks, EchoSonar-R improves macro balanced accuracy by 17.1% on the private set and 6.1% on MIMICEchoQA over the strongest baseline, achieves a GREEN clinical faithfulness score of 0.800, and produces interpretable reasoning traces grounded in multi-view visual evidence.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) planning requires meticulous multimodal reasoning. However, adapting Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to this high-stakes domain is severely impeded by diagnostic hallucinations, where generated text lacks anatomical grounding. To address this, TAVR-VLM is introduced: a novel framework featuring Risk-Conditioned Causal Grounding Attention (R-CGA) that instantiates a model-internal ``Risk $\rightarrow$ Region $\rightarrow$ Word'' structural grounding pathway. R-CGA compresses multimodal inputs into a causal risk bottleneck, purifying dense visual features into a global risk mask. During autoregressive generation, a support-projected causal consistency objective constrains token-level grounding within the risk-defined support mask. Evaluated on $\text{M}^3\text{TAVR}$, a comprehensive 1,482-patient cohort, TAVR-VLM establishes a new state-of-the-art. It achieves an AUROC of 0.896, boosts CIDEr to 0.936, and drastically reduces the hallucination rate to 8.1%, thereby improving interpretability for evidence-based surgical AI.

Manual reporting of 3D MRI studies is time-consuming, yet end-to-end structured report generation for 3D liver MRI remains underexplored due to volumetric complexity and scarce paired data. We propose MRI2Rep, an autoregressive framework for liver MRI report generation. From 3,929 real-world MRI-report pairs acquired over a 10-year single-institution cohort, a Report-to-Label Canonicalization (RLC) module converts free-text reports into structured, closed-vocabulary diagnostic sequences without lesion-level annotations. On a held-out test set, MRI2Rep achieves 76.0% case-level sensitivity, 29.4% lesion-level F1, compared with no more than 8.3% for adapted medical vision-language baselines, and 82.4% liver-level accuracy. In a blinded reader study, two radiologists rated 75% and 70% of AI-generated reports as clinically acceptable, compared with 95% and 100% for original reports. Our automated LLM-based judge, LLM-Eval, rated 61.8% of AI-generated reports as acceptable, applying a stricter standard and supporting its use as a conservative proxy. To our knowledge, this is the first end-to-end LI-RADS-structured reporting system for 3D liver MRI.
