    SmellDiffusion: Diffusion-Based Quadruped Navigation with Olfactory Scene Graphs

    A robot sent to a named gas leak must preserve gas identity, estimate the source, and navigate to the resulting goal. We present SmellDiffusion, a simulation pipeline that represents species-specific gas zones in an open-vocabulary olfactory scene graph and shares the selected goal between classical and diffusion planners. Its key components are a peak-local geometric gate for selective source correction and diffusion-based, gas-guided trajectory generation. Among 424 unique source-wind configurations in solved flow, 28 have a concentration peak displaced more than 0.5m from the source. A sour

    DocAttriBench: Benchmarking Answer Grounding in Document Visual Question Answering

    Answer grounding in document visual question answering remains an open challenge: most benchmarks lack grounding annotations or provide limited-quality labels, while constructing grounded datasets still requires costly manual effort. We introduce DocAttriBench (DAB), a large-scale benchmark for fine-grained, element-level source attribution in Document VQA, grounding answers to specific layout elements such as text blocks, tables, and images. To build DAB, we propose a Mask-based Perplexity-Derived Attribution method (MAPPET) that combines document layout and language modeling to identify the

    Efficiently Distributed Federated Learning

    Federated Learning (FL) is experiencing a substantial research interest, with many frameworks being developed to allow practitioners to build federations easily and quickly. Most of these efforts do not consider two main aspects that are key to Machine Learning (ML) software: customizability and performance. This research addresses these issues by implementing an open-source FL framework named FastFederatedLearning (FFL). FFL is implemented in C/C++, focusing on code performance, and allows the user to specify any communication graph between clients and servers involved in the federation, ensu

    SeetaPsych v1.0: An Open-source Computer Vision Toolkit for Behavior-based Psychological Measurement

    Automated visual analysis opens new avenues for behavior--based psychological measurement. Nevertheless, existing technological modules are typically scattered across task specific systems with heterogeneous interfaces and disparate deployment requirements. In this work, we present SeetaPsych v1.0, an open source, unified and extensible computer vision toolkit designed to extract psychologically relevant signals from facial images and/or face based videos. The current release encompasses four major core modules aiming at behavior--based physiological perception: unified face based emotion anal

    Towards High-DoF Dexterous Manipulation through VLA Post-Training

    Imitation-learned vision--language--action (VLA) foundation models acquire broad manipulation capabilities by scaling robot data across tasks and embodiments, but reliable deployment on a specific downstream task and hardware platform still requires post-training. Dexterous hands make this adaptation particularly difficult: their broad behavioural repertoire and high degree of freedom create a large and structured action space. Three obstacles are central: open-source VLAs do not natively provide an action interface for high-DoF hands; gesture mismatch during human-gated DAgger takeover create

    DeltaSelect: Affordable A/B Testing for Coding Agents

    Coding-agent benchmarks are built for broad and comprehensive comparisons, not frequent development decisions. Individual runs vary, full suites are expensive, and the benchmark harness may differ from the harness used in practice. In a resampling analysis of DeepSWE's published trials, only 19.5% of tasks (22 of 113) had a fifth-percentile Pearson correlation of at least 0.50 with full-benchmark performance. The paper presents DeltaSelect, an open-source method that identifies tasks whose one-run results consistently track full-benchmark performance using Pearson correlation, maps fractional

    Red-Teaming Auto Mode: Improving Blocking Classifiers Against Malign Coding Agents

    To keep coding agents from going off the rails, production systems now review each proposed action with a blocking monitor that can reject it before it runs (Auto Mode in Claude Code, Guardian in OpenAI's Codex). Prior evaluations of such monitors largely measure robustness to accidental harm or prompt injections from untrusted sources looking to hijack the agent. Less understood is how they hold up when the agent they monitor is persistently misaligned. To understand this risk, we task an adversarial agent with evading production blocking monitors and causing catastrophic harm, e.g. by exfilt

    BurnRiSc: Toward Non-Invasive Burnout Screening in Open Source from Public Repository Signals

    Burnout is a chronic occupational syndrome, and open source is close to a worst case for it: maintainers absorb unbounded demand with no manager to reallocate work and no organization to notice decline. The cost is not only personal. Burnout precedes withdrawal, and in projects sustained by a handful of maintainers, one departure can break infrastructure that thousands of downstream systems depend on. Yet the field has no way to see it coming: self-report inventories, the only existing measure, miss exactly the contributors most in need of detection and cannot be applied retroactively, so the

    Can Vision-Language Models Judge Olympic Diving? From Reasoning to Scores in Zero-Shot Action Quality Assessment

    Automated action quality assessment (AQA) in Olympic sports remains a challenging task due to the complexity of human motion and the subjectivity inherent in expert judging. This work evaluates the capability of open-source Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to perform zero-shot action quality assessment on Olympic diving videos using the AQA-7 benchmark dataset. In this regard, a regression-based framework is pro-posed to leverage both the semantic reasoning and phase-level sub-scores generated by the VLMs, combining TF-IDF vectorization, dimensionality reduction, and ensemble learning to predict

    Monitoring and Discovering Reward Hacking with Internal Representations during LLM Evaluations

    As models scale, reward hacking becomes more frequent, more sophisticated, and more consequential. Does it leave a telltale signature in model representations? This work analyzes how reward hacking is represented internally in frontier open source LLMs, and how those representations can be used to understand and discover the range of hacking behaviors a model displays. In particular, we find that simple difference of means vectors coherently represent reward hacking in Kimi K3, GLM 5.2, and Qwen 3.8 Max across a variety of behaviors in common evaluations. Despite their simplicity, these vector

    Open ultrasound foundation model for robust segmentation and clinical measurement across heterogeneous settings

    Ultrasound is the most widely deployed imaging modality worldwide, yet clinical AI remains fragmented into narrow single-task models that fail when device, operator, or anatomy changes. Here we present SonoCorpus, an open resource unifying 456,963 images and 1,626,085 expert masks from 53 public datasets spanning 24 clinical applications and 17 countries, and SonoBase, an interactive segmentation foundation model pretrained on it.

    Quanta: A Self-Contained Python Library for Hybrid Retrieval over Quantised Embeddings, Lexical Indexes, and Knowledge Graphs

    An advanced retrieval-augmented generation pipeline is typically assembled from three or four independently operated systems: an approximate nearest-neighbour index, a full-text search engine, a graph database, and a relational document store. Each contributes its own deployment surface, configuration model, and failure modes, and the integration logic that binds them is written anew in every project. In this work, we present \textsc{Quanta}, an open-source Python library, which unifies dense vector search over 4-bit quantised embeddings, BM25 full-text retrieval, and knowledge-graph traversal

    Dexterous grasp synthesis has advanced rapidly in generating stable and physically plausible hand poses, but real-world manipulation requires grasps that preserve the function implied by the task. We study open-vocabulary task-oriented dexterous grasp generation, where a robot must infer functional intent from free-form language, ground it in multi-view visual observations and object geometry, and generate an executable high-degree-of-freedom grasp. We present OpenDexGrasp, a unified data and generative modeling framework for this setting. OpenDexVerse provides dual-source supervision organize
