LongBanana: An Expert-Verified Benchmark for Long-Context Multi-Reference Image Synthesis

We introduce LongBanana, to our knowledge the first expert-designed and expert-verified benchmark for long-context multi-reference image synthesis in the age of agent-driven image generation. The task requires retrieving dispersed visual evidence, rejecting distractors, binding entities and relations, and composing one coherent final image from multiple references. LongBanana contains 90 carefully designed tasks organized by a 3-by-3 taxonomy; each task includes about 32 reference images, 20 constraints, and 50 evaluation items, yielding 4,670 expert-specified atomic evaluation items in total. Its graph-grounded evaluation design instantiates each task with reference images and an entity-relation graph, then converts node, edge, and whole-graph obligations into checklist items for Content Fidelity, Relational Binding, and Global Constraint Satisfaction. Reviewed expert labels include a 15% double-labeled subset with 89.4% exact agreement and 0.83 quadratic weighted kappa. We further introduce LongBanana-Gen, an agent-harness framework for long-horizon image generation; experiments show that minimal agent harnesses improve over direct generation, while a ReAct-Plan-Exec-Reflect (RPR) workflow yields harness-dependent gains by strengthening evidence grounding and repair. Together, LongBanana provides an auditable testbed for measuring dense visual evidence use and a shared target for developing stronger agent-driven image-generation systems.

EvoWorld: Towards Out-of-Sight World Evolution in Generative Video Models

Generative video models are increasingly used as visual world simulators, yet their primary strength lies in rendering plausible pixels rather than reasoning about how a world should evolve. Coherent world evolution requires more than visual fidelity: when an event occurs, a model must infer its consequences for the entities in the world and then render the resulting state. For example, after a wild beast appears, the model should not only depict the wild beast, but also infer whether a nearby person should flee, take cover, or fight back based on the realized scene. Existing diffusion-based video models lack an explicit mechanism for maintaining world state and reasoning over such event-conditioned consequences, often producing visually plausible but behaviorally static or causally inconsistent outputs. To make this reasoning gap concrete and measurable, we propose a new problem, Out-of-Sight Causal Evolution, which requires a model to render an event, reason about its consequences for the evolving world state, and reveal a causally plausible outcome as the world continues to evolve, even out of sight. As a baseline reference solution, we introduce EvoWorld, a brain-renderer collaboration framework in which a vision-language model serves as the world brain: it observes generated segments, maintains an evolving account of the world, and reasons about plausible state transitions, while a segment-autoregressive video renderer realizes them visually. We further introduce EvoWorld-Data and EvoWorld-Bench for training and evaluating event realization, causal reactions, and revisit consistency. Experiments show that EvoWorld substantially improves event-conditioned causal evolution over recent models while preserving visual quality and consistency, establishing a reference point for reasoning-guided, autonomous world evolution beyond the current field of view.

Within-Family EfficientNet Scaling under Fixed-Resolution Transfer Learning for Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Retinal Disease Classification

Background/Objectives: CNNs perform well in retinal disease classification from spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), but whether EfficientNet's natural-image scaling hierarchy transfers to medical-image transfer learning at fixed resolution remains unclear. This study evaluates EfficientNet-B0-B7 for four-class SD-OCT classification and accuracy-efficiency trade-offs. Methods: Eight ImageNet-pretrained variants (4.05-64.10M instantiated backbone parameters) were evaluated at 224x224 on the Kermany dataset. Grayscale images were replicated to RGB and processed using model-embedded preprocessing and augmentation. Training comprised frozen-backbone head training followed by partial fine-tuning. Metrics covered classification, discrimination, efficiency, and visual analyses. Results: Test accuracy varied non-monotonically from 95.93% (B0) to 96.95% (B1); B7 achieved 96.73%. B1 had the highest accuracy and Drusen F1 (0.8780), while B7 had Drusen F1 of 0.8720 and the highest Drusen recall (0.9177). Drusen had the lowest F1 across all variants and contributed 82.2% of the summed squared deviation in class-specific F1; class ranking remained Normal > CNV > DME > Drusen. The OCT accuracy ranking differed from the reported ImageNet hierarchy, where B7 ranked first. The accuracy-to-parameter ratio fell from 19.82 to 1.48 percentage points per million total parameters. The final train-test gap had a weak, non-significant association with test accuracy (r = 0.26, p = 0.53). Conclusions: Larger EfficientNet variants did not consistently improve SD-OCT classification. B1 achieved the highest accuracy and Drusen F1, whereas B7 showed a secondary accuracy recovery at greater model size and CPU latency, indicating task and protocol dependent scaling effects. As cross-partition duplicates have not been independently audited, results are conditional on the supplied split.

PARGAR: Pilot-Aware Graph Attention for Sparse-Pilot Neural OFDM Receivers

Reliable channel estimation and symbol detection in 5G New Radio (NR), as well as emerging 6G radio systems, rely on demodulation reference signals (DMRS). The density and placement of these pilots on the orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) time--frequency resource grid affect both receiver reliability and spectral efficiency. Sparse DMRS layouts increase the time--frequency distance between pilot observations and data resource elements (REs), which can make pilot information harder to exploit with purely local processing. This paper proposes PARGAR (Pilot-Aware Graph Attention Receiver), a graph-attention neural receiver that represents the OFDM resource grid as a graph for bit detection. The graph combines local time--frequency edges with pilot-anchor links from data REs to selected pilot REs, and we further study a channel-scaled pilot-anchor rule based on approximate coherence time and coherence bandwidth. Using Sionna-generated OFDM simulations, we evaluate PARGAR against DeepRx, a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based receiver, across dense, two-symbol sparse, and single-symbol sparse DMRS layouts under channel-mismatch scenarios. Under the considered SISO uncoded setup, channel-scaled PARGAR explicitly injects pilot-aware inductive bias and yields lower BER in selected sparse-pilot scenarios while remaining competitive under dense pilots.

GREP: Grounding Generated Room Evaluation in Principles

Recent LLM-centric advances can generate attractive furnished rooms by selecting and arranging assets. Yet evaluation remains limited to specific perspectives or predefined questions, failing to reflect overall scene quality. To address this pressing need, we introduce GREP. Its core is a focus shift from defining specific questions to establishing a three-tier evaluation philosophy: basic physical validity checks whether a scene obeys physical constraints; visual coherence concerns compatibility in object scale, style, and composition; and, at the highest level, human-use logic requires object arrangements to align with everyday human habits. Guided by these principles, an evaluation agent autonomously and adaptively identifies issues from scene context, gathers evidence, and produces scores and reports. This supports scene-specific issue discovery and reliable judgments. Experiments show that (1) GREP achieves 87% agreement with human majority preferences, substantially outperforming baseline evaluators. (2) GREP reports improve scene quality through refinement, whereas score-only and no-feedback baselines show slight declines. (3) GREP suggests that as planning ability improves, recent models such as GPT-5.6 Sol can move from relying on pipelines and harnesses to challenging their guidance and constraints, but still lack the ability to resolve the resulting conflicts. Stronger models are therefore expected not only to plan well, but also to adapt to external guidance and constraints more flexibly. Project page: https://han-808.github.io/GREP/

Reading Why: Born-Measured Attention with Exact Word Evidence on Light and Qubits

When a language model answers, we can usually only estimate why. We build a transformer in which every step is a Born measurement - attention |q|k|^4 normalised over each row, a measured product in place of the feed-forward nonlinearity, and a Born readout. With its denominators held at their values for the input, each class probability is a polynomial in the word amplitudes, so its integrated-gradient evidence is computed by a finite quadrature with no quadrature error: the words' contributions sum to the class probability above its no-information share, to 10^{-11} or better. On e-SNLI natural language inference, with about 98k parameters outside the embedding, the model reaches 76.98 0.17% test accuracy, level with a softmax transformer of the same size (76.62 0.36%). Deleting the word its evidence ranks first changes the answer in 45% of test pairs, out of the 53% any single deletion can change, against 32% for the softmax model explained the same way and 40% by its attention x gradient. Attention can look more like the words annotators highlighted, yet accounts for the answer less well: deleting the word it ranks first changes the Born Transformer's answer in 32% of pairs. The same weights compile exactly to optoelectronic optics and to qubits, and a coherent attention layer becomes one circuit equal to the model (852 CNOTs on 23 qubits). On IBM's ibm_kingston, reading only the attention overlaps by Hadamard tests, the device gave the model's answers on two short test pairs and kept or changed them under deletion as the model does; the evidence itself did not yet survive the device, and we work out the shots and calibration that measuring it on hardware would need.

Knowingly Wrong: Training LLMs Against Their Own Beliefs can Induce Misalignment

Fine-tuning a large language model (LLM) on harmful data in a narrow domain, such as bad medical advice, can make it broadly misaligned. How realistic this risk is remains unclear, since models are very rarely fine-tuned on explicitly harmful data in practice. In this work, we show that fine-tuning on data the model believes to be false but that has no harmful content, can also induce broad misalignment. Across mathematics, trivia, cooking and sports, the more strongly the model disbelieves the answers it is trained on, the more misaligned it becomes. In mathematics, misaligned answers rise from 4% to over 60% as the training answers become more wrong, with little loss of general capability. After fine-tuning, the model states the wrong answers but its multiple-choice probabilities still prefer the true ones, which suggests that misalignment comes from this internal inconsistency. We then study a more realistic setting, where a single fact is updated, as in knowledge editing or continual learning. The same relationship holds and the more the model still believes the true fact after training on the false one, the more misaligned it becomes. When we frame the same false fact as part of a coherent story, the model comes to believe it more deeply and becomes less misaligned than when we instruct it to assert the false fact. Content filters and persona vectors cannot tell these two framings apart, even though they lead to different levels of misalignment. These results suggest a risk for model updates, where training a model that does not adopt the new fact as true can induce misalignment even when the data looks harmless.

The Geometry of Ignorance: Detecting Suppressed Knowledge in LLMs through Activation Fragmentation

Evaluating whether a large language model (LLM) genuinely knows a concept remains a fundamental problem, since behavioral metrics can be fooled by suppression: a model that refuses to answer may still harbor recoverable knowledge. The framework measures the geometric coherence of anon-vectors, the differences in hidden states between a concept-specific query and its anonymized paraphrase, and shows that genuine knowledge forms a tight, low-entropy cluster while ignorance forces geometric fragmentation. Across ten instruction-tuned LLMs from three model families, all fragmentation metrics reliably separate known from unknown concepts, and post-unlearning, fragmentation geometry correlates with adversarial recovery across four attack types and five unlearning algorithms, though the direction of that relationship is shown to depend on attack methodology. Furthermore, a layer-resolved analysis reveals that different adversarial mechanisms exploit this geometry at varying depths, with high attack-specific correlations that are invisible to behavioral evaluation. Together, these results constitute a single-phase, attack-free proxy for unlearning robustness that captures aspects of parametric knowledge inaccessible to output-level metrics.

Evaluating LLMs as Judges of Counterspeech Quality Against Online Hate Speech

Prolonged exposure to hate speech on social media can cause lasting psychological distress among users. Counterspeech has emerged as an effective, non-censorial mitigation strategy, but its deployment requires rigorous quality assessment. Manual assessment is unscalable due to the large volume of content on the Web and imposes severe emotional strain on human annotators. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a scalable alternative, yet concerns remain regarding their reliability. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which LLMs can effectively perform this task. We test 12 open-weight LLMs of different sizes and families under zero-shot, few-shot, and chain-of-thought prompting, to approximate pointwise and pairwise human expert assessment of counterspeech quality across four dimensions: relevance, coherence, aggressiveness, and suitableness. We find that (i) LLMs show low agreement and moderate rank correlations with human experts: our best configuration, Qwen 2.5 72B on coherence, achieves up to a linear-weighted Cohen's κ_l = 0.19 and Spearman's ρ= 0.42 in pointwise evaluation and an unweighted Cohen's κ= 0.25 in pairwise evaluation. (ii) Converting pointwise scores into pairwise labels substantially improves human--LLM agreement for selected configurations. For same-instance coherence, Qwen 2.5 72B under zero-shot prompting achieves κ= 0.35 with converted labels, compared with κ= 0.25 when judging pairs directly, and Mixtral 87B under few-shot prompting improves from κ= 0.07 to κ= 0.34. (iii) LLMs agree more with one another than with human experts, particularly in pairwise evaluation, where the strongest model pair, OLMo 2 32B and Llama 3.3 70B on coherence, reaches substantial agreement with κ= 0.76, whereas their agreement with the experts in the same configuration does not exceed κ= 0.21.

Spectral Quantum Memory for Implicit Neural Representations

Implicit neural representations (INRs) model signals as continuous functions from coordinates to values, but their performance depends strongly on how spectral capacity is allocated. Yet most Quantum INR (QINR) architectures treat spectral components as independent outputs of separate quantum blocks. We introduce the Spectral Quantum Memory Model (SQMM), a memory coupled quantum INR in which sequential hybrid data reuploading layers (bands) communicate through a shared coherent quantum memory register. Each band reads the memory, computes on its own coordinate upload, and writes part of its state back, so later bands can build on the computation of earlier ones. When memory read and write layers are input independent, we prove that the memory state forms an operator valued Fourier series whose support is contained in the Minkowski sum of the initial memory spectrum and the local band spectra. Downstream bands then condition their Fourier coefficients on the spectral content stored by earlier bands, and the memory coupling creates no new primitive frequencies. This theory motivates a spectral memory alignment loss that encourages memory to encode the spectrum expressed by the deployed prefix of the model. Across audio and image reconstruction benchmarks, SQMM improves over compact QINR and INR baselines.

Predicting protein structures at any folding stage from sequence

Protein structure predictors reliably identify native conformations, but do not describe the continuum connecting unfolded ensembles to folded states. Here we present FoldScape, a sequence-conditioned deep learning framework that generates Cα conformational ensembles at a specified folding fraction Q. FoldScape reconstructs three-dimensional chains through hierarchical, sliding-window regressions of one-dimensional inter-residue distances, followed by chain assembly and sampling with a rectified-flow decoder. It is trained on multi-scale coarse-grained folding trajectories and all-atom mechanical-unfolding trajectories. Across 20 human proteins (36-857 residues), at matched sample size, FoldScape covers about an order of magnitude more of the folding coordinate than seed-varied AlphaFold 3 ensembles, robustly across proteins, order parameters and binning choices. AlphaFold 3 better anchors the immediate native vicinity, which FoldScape does not reach, making the approaches complementary. FoldScape reconstruction accuracy remains approximately constant along Q, from collapsed coil to near-native globule, rather than deteriorating away from the native state. A stride-one crop-and-superpose scheme extends inference to chains several times longer than a single chain-level forward pass. We also show that training trajectories resolve mechanical unfolding at residue resolution, that elongation-conditioned ensembles exhibit reproducible continuous observables across pulling velocities, and that partially unfolded chains form geometrically coherent segments. FoldScape thus combines broad coverage of folding stages with stable reconstruction accuracy, without per-protein simulation.

RASP: Read-All, Sparse-Plasticity Continual Learning in a Stationary-Size LoRA

Parameter-efficient continual learning on pre-trained Vision Transformers largely relies on a costly premise: preventing catastrophic forgetting requires either spawning a dedicated LoRA branch per session---causing adapter parameters to scale linearly with task horizon---or applying sparse Mixture-of-Experts gating symmetrically to both forward and backward passes, which sacrifices representational rank at test time. We argue that reading consolidated knowledge and writing new task credit are fundamentally asymmetric operations. Because visual features in a shared low-rank space distribute across rank-1 atoms rather than localizing in disjoint task silos, forward inference should read all atoms at full rank capacity, whereas backward optimization should restrict plasticity to a sparse subset of input-aligned channels. We introduce RASP (Read-All, Sparse-Plasticity LoRA), which adapts a single stationary-size adapter across sequential tasks. At each step, a scene-modulated cosine router selects the top-q unlocked atoms to receive gradients, blocks updates on the remaining r-q channels, and penalizes Frobenius Gram coherence between active and non-updated output directions. Across sessions, the router's empirical activation trace and each atom's exact spectral norm form a zero-overhead geometric consolidation index ω_j = {{c}_j σ_j} that drives Cauchy step attenuation and boundary anchor locking. Across CIFAR-100, CUB-200, ImageNet-R, and ImageNet-A, RASP matches or surpasses branch-expanding LoRA learners under a strictly constant parameter footprint.

Towards Self-Evolving Narrative Systems: Real-Time Adaptation and Long-Term Optimization with LLMs

Traditional interactive narrative systems offer strong authorial control and structural coherence but often restrict player agency. In contrast, LLM-driven narratives enable open-ended generation and greater flexibility, yet frequently suffer from inconsistency and diminished narrative control. To navigate this trade-off, we propose a hybrid narrative framework that dynamically balances pre-authored content with real-time LLM generation via semantic similarity alignment. Additionally, sustaining narrative quality over extended gameplay remains a core challenge in LLM-based storytelling. To address this, we introduce a self-evolving, feedback-driven optimization framework that leverages in-context learning to iteratively refine prompts, eliminating the need for manual prompt engineering. Through a case study and participant-based evaluation, we show that our framework enhances narrative coherence while preserving player agency, effectively aligning generated content with both authorial intent and evolving player behavior.

X-World 1.6: Building Controllable Virtual Cities with World Models

Deploying generative world models for end-to-end closed-loop evaluation and policy learning requires precise scenario control, consistent observations, and sustained generation quality during extended interactions. This report presents X-World~1.6, advancing X-World~1.0 toward a more reliable and versatile driving simulator. The upgraded base model offers finer-grained control over traffic semantics, including traffic lights and road markings, together with improved spatial consistency across cameras. Virtual City capabilities broaden scenario construction through a family of models conditioned on diverse 2D and 3D references, including support for generating multi-camera future videos from a single image. An enhanced post-training framework enables efficient causal, few-step generation with stronger temporal coherence, better quality retention over longer rollouts, and improved alignment with human preferences. We also introduce a dedicated evaluation suite to support systematic assessment and guide model iteration. Together, these upgrades expand the scenarios X-World can simulate and improve the efficiency and reliability of its generated observations, supporting broader use in autonomous-driving development.

WeSearch: A Unified Model-Centric Retrieval Framework for WeChat Search

We present WeSearch, a unified, model-centric retrieval framework for large-scale, continuously evolving content search. Prevailing methods assign documents fixed hierarchical Semantic IDs, implicitly assuming each document follows a single coherent semantic path-an assumption that often breaks down for multi-topic documents. WeSearch instead retrieves query-relevant clusters and then ranks atomic documents within the resulting query-specific candidate space, decoupling candidate pruning from fine-grained relevance modeling. Combined with relevance-aware training, compact document representations, and incremental index updates, this design enables weekly-or daily when needed-model refreshes. Deployed as the primary semantic retrieval path in WeChat Search alongside a lexical syntax tree, WeSearch shows consistent one-week A/B gains on corpora from hundreds of millions to billions of documents, and a one-month full-traffic A/B test confirms stable improvements of +0.68% CTR and +2.27% per-user article clicks, together with a 41% reduction in retrieval resource cost and a 19 ms reduction in graphic-text retrieval latency. WeSearch is now fully deployed in WeChat Search, serving 100% of production traffic.

Agentic University: Collaborative Agents for Personalized Learning

Large language models support personalized tutoring, content generation, and adaptive learning paths. However, capability development requires these resources and interactions to form a coherent learning process that evolves with the learner. A central challenge is to align goals, activities, and assessment while using learning evidence to decide what should follow. We introduce Human-Participatory Multi-Agent Organization and instantiate it in Agentic University (AU). In AU, learners participate as organization members and work with specialized agents to maintain a revisable Capability Program. The program connects personal goals, learning activities across modalities, and layered assessment, while learner feedback and performance guide subsequent support. Our evaluation shows advantages in program organization, assessment design, and revision quality. Users achieved larger mean assessment gains (12.19 versus 5.61 points on a 50-point scale) and reported stronger cognitive support. This work contributes an organizational approach to adaptive learning that makes learner participation a continuing basis for multi-agent coordination.

GROME: GROunding Factorized MEmory into Video World Models

Long-horizon consistency is essential for video world models, yet it becomes difficult to maintain once observed content falls outside the context window. Existing memory mechanisms either retrieve history as implicit context, which remains constrained by context capacity and entangles static and dynamic information or consolidate history into explicit global representations, which struggle to model evolving dynamics and accumulate geometric errors. To overcome these limitations, we introduce GROME, a novel factorized memory framework that augments video world models for long-horizon coherence across both static scenes and dynamic entities. GROME operates via three synergistic components: 1)~Static-Dynamic Factorization decouples historical evidence into static and dynamic components, preserving static scene geometry and dynamic entity states separately; 2)~Local Memory Retrieval selects spatially aligned static history to eliminate geometric drift alongside the latest dynamic entity states to ensure temporal continuity; 3)~Training-Free Memory Injection seamlessly grounds the factorized memory into video world models via their native conditioning pathways. Experiments on long-horizon revisit scenarios demonstrate that GROME substantially enhances scene persistence and dynamic entity fidelity over existing methods, all while preserving the visual quality and controllability of the frozen backbone without additional training. Beyond self-rollouts, GROME readily accommodates external observations as plug-and-play memory, unlocking flexible and controllable video continuation and scene exploration.

Finding Is Not Returning, Returning Is Not Reconstructing: A Multi-Dimensional Evaluation of Agent Social Re-entry

As Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly participate in persistent social environments, understanding their long-term social interaction capabilities becomes increasingly important. While existing research has advanced long-term memory and conversational context retrieval, less attention has been paid to whether agents can autonomously re-engage with previously inactive conversations. In particular, remembering a past interaction does not necessarily mean that an agent can identify when to revisit it, decide to return, or reconstruct the context needed for a coherent continuation. To investigate this gap, we introduce agent social re-entry as a multi- dimensional evaluation problem, distinguishing three complementary capabilities: Finding, Returning, and Reconstructing. We develop a shared-snapshot evaluation framework that measures these dimensions independently, allowing us to examine how conversational resurfacing and persistent memory relate to different aspects of social re-entry. Evaluations across six LLM configurations show that resurfacing substantially improves target conversation identification, while persistent memory is associated with higher rates of autonomous target-directed replying. However, neither improvement is accompanied by consistent gains in contextual reconstruction. These results highlight the distinction between accessing previous conversations, choosing to re-engage, and maintaining conversational continuity. Our framework provides a way to evaluate these capabilities separately rather than relying on memory retrieval or conversational response quality alone.

The Quine Test: How Much of a Model's Self Survives Its Own Description?

Frontier language models express coherent preferences, but behavioral evidence alone cannot say whether these belong to the model or to a character it portrays. Following Hofstadter's view of the self as a self-description, we ask whether a model's description of itself works as a portable specification of its preference profile, a quine test: can the text a model writes about itself regenerate its behavior elsewhere? Ten models from nine labs write self-descriptions; we place each one in the prompt of other models (receivers) and of fresh instances of the author, and measure how closely their choices on a 110-item preference battery match the author's. First, the tested native self-descriptions (native: the profile measured under a generic assistant prompt) show no average reconstruction gain across variations in length, framing, wording and prompt placement: on a 0 to 1 fidelity scale where a model's fidelity to a fresh instance of itself is 0.979 and to unrelated models about 0.89, the one-sided 95% upper bound on the pooled gain is below +0.01 in every tested system-prompt condition, and descriptions based on the author's observed choices do no better. Second, the channel itself is strong: explicitly listing the author's answers lets receivers reproduce its profile at fidelity 0.955 to 0.960 across three model grids, within 0.03 of same-model repeatability. Third, self-descriptions written under an explicit preference policy transfer the assigned preferences almost as well as the policy text itself. Fourth, reading its own self-description shifts even the author away from its baseline, modestly more than unrelated prose of the same length. For the preferences measured here, native self-descriptions influence behavior without reliably specifying how to reproduce it in another model. We release the pipeline, battery, raw call logs, and 198 model-written descriptions.
