ClearGS: Reliability-Aware Gaussian Splatting from Handheld Videos

We present ClearGS for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) from handheld videos with uneven viewpoint coverage and mixed frame quality. Rather than selecting frames with binary decisions, ClearGS uses Reliability-aware View Allocation (RVA) to assign graded raw-supervision weights based on appearance reliability, degradation risk, and geometric utility, while weakly reactivating useful suppressed frames to maintain trajectory coverage. Since weighting cannot restore details lost to blur or distortion, ClearGS further introduces Render-Guided In-Video Restoration (RIVR). The current 3DGS render provides a pose-aligned structural candidate, a frozen no-reference restoration expert restores the corresponding raw video observation without any clean reference image, and no-reference perceptual scores select among the render, restored observation, and high-frequency fused candidate. ClearGS then applies Full-Trajectory Repair Consolidation to revisit accepted repairs and preserve details introduced early. On GS2E and GSOTM, ClearGS achieves state-of-the-art overall performance, with consistent CLIP-IQA and MUSIQ gains and LPIPS reductions in most degradation settings, without paired sharp supervision or matched clean references.

From Reward Signal to Visual Utility: A Controlled Audit of Medical VLM Post-Training

Medical vision-language model (VLM) post-training is commonly evaluated through answer accuracy. We examine how changes in accuracy and training objectives relate to image-conditioned decisions in a controlled Qwen2.5-VL-3B study on PMC-VQA. We compare supervised fine-tuning (SFT) with low-rank adaptation (LoRA) restricted to the language model, expanded multimodal adaptation scopes, standard answer-only Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), and a counterfactual evidence objective. On 2,000 clean-test questions, language model LoRA SFT changes correct-image accuracy by +1.10 percentage points (95% paired bootstrap CI:-0.85 to +3.05), while visual-benefit events decrease by 2.40 points and image sensitivity decreases by 5.60 points. Paired records reveal 155 acquired and 203 lost visual-benefit events. Broader adaptation yields lower correct-image accuracy than language-model LoRA SFT. Standard GRPO produces mixed-reward groups and parameter updates, with an uncertain clean test accuracy change. A generation audit reveals that canonical option scores can follow a different token path from generated answers. With scores taken along the greedy generation path, the evidence target improves on the training set; its gains over standard GRPO remain inconsistent on validation data at matched training doses. Sample-level analyses trace how evidence scores, decision margins, and generated answers change during post-training. This empirical and measurement audit identifies gaps between optimization activity, target acquisition, and useful held-out visual behavior.

ViSTA: A Simple Bridge Extends Visual Alignment to Clinical Time-Series Understanding in Multimodal LLMs

Clinical prediction models estimate risk from patient measurements, while large language models support medical text understanding and question answering. Yet their language capabilities do not ensure accurate prediction from structured, high-dimensional clinical time series. Improving this ability would connect risk estimation with flexible questions about a patient's evolving condition. We introduce ViSTA, a compact adapter that incorporates irregular numerical measurements into a pretrained vision-language model's chart representations. It learns corrections to visual tokens while leaving all pretrained parameters unchanged. On MIMIC-IV, ViSTA has the highest mean scores among the compared adaptations on all four metrics for acute kidney injury and mortality prediction across models with 2-9 billion parameters. With 0.516 million trainable parameters, the 2-billion-parameter model reaches an area under the ROC curve of 0.7376 for acute kidney injury, compared with GPT-5.6 Sol's 0.7380 with text input and high reasoning effort. Training for temporal question answering yields 69.27% accuracy at 4 billion parameters with over 90% fewer trainable parameters than low-rank adaptation using charts or numerical text, at a 2.82-4.88 percentage-point accuracy gap. ViSTA extends pretrained language models to numerical prediction and temporal questions.

Towards Mitigating Fabricated Consensus: The Active Provenance Gate for Multi-Agent Debate Synthesis

Large language model-based multi-agent debate (MAD) systems are being increasingly used as complex decision pipelines in distributed processes. However, their final synthesis phase still remains inadequately controlled. Even with detailed debate logs, summarizing models are prone to fabricating smoothly written debate consensus that is not grounded in the debate's history. To address this safety gap, this paper presents empirical research and studies if the introduction of active post-debate verification can mitigate the production of such factually unsupported summaries, while still providing valuable information. Furthermore, it is examined whether explicitly signalling divergence is preferable in the absence of a reliable compromise. The Active Provenance Gate (APG) is introduced as a post-debate verification layer that treats the source as a hard constraint, analysing the debate logs, auditing each claim, and applying self-correction. In crisis simulations, the self-healing mechanism more than doubles the average data Provenance Fidelity in difficult condition scenarios, before the strict gate blocks unsupported claims and generates divergence reports. In the human study, a vast majority of the users (over 75%) preferred a report explicitly stating failure in critical scenarios, despite most of them perceiving fabricated consensus from the baseline system as more fluent. Our main contribution is the transition of data origin tracing from passive logging to active conditional blocking before publication.

A Safety-Bounded SDC-to-MCP Gateway for Medical AI Agents

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a common interface through which AI applications discover and use external resources and tools. It allows language-model agents to ground their reasoning in current system state and interact with heterogeneous services. In medical environments, however, exposing device state and action affordances requires deterministic constraints on possible effects. We present an IEEE 11073 Service-Oriented Device Connectivity (SDC)-to-MCP gateway that exposes metrics, alarms, context references, and semantic metadata as read-only resources, while representing selected action affordances as policy-validated dry-run tools. The term safety-bounded denotes a narrow no-execution property: agent-facing requests dispatch no SDC device operation. A Python prototype supports simulated fault and lifecycle experiments, a software-reference protocol path spanning independent Java and Python implementations, deterministic baselines, representation ablations, and multi-model agent evaluation. The results show semantically explicit resource exposure, visible rejection of invalid or outdated state, and preservation of the no-execution boundary across resource, proposal, and authorization paths. Explicit semantic metadata improved conformity to required metric identifiers in structured alarm outputs relative to a generic representation, while retained structured-output failures reveal a distinction between plausible narrative answers and task-compliant machine-readable results.

Progressive Memory Transformer: Memory-Aware Attention for Time-Series

Time-series carry structure simultaneously at multiple scales (fine-grained variation, mid-range motifs, and global properties) and downstream tasks operate at correspondingly different scales. Most existing self-supervised learning approaches supervise representations globally via instance-level contrastive losses and limited temporal neighborhood supervision, but do not explicitly exploit the structural hierarchy. We propose a learning framework that explicitly enforces a structural hierarchy across three scales independently: a local objective for token continuity, a mid-range objective for window-level motifs, and a global objective for sequence-level agreement. Realizing this framework requires the backbone to expose a representation at each scale; we introduce Progressive Memory Transformer (PMT), which augments a transformer with writable, window-aligned memory that exposes the mid-range scale alongside the token and sequence-level representations conventional transformers already provide. Across seven UCR/UEA/UCI classification benchmarks, a cue-retention probe, and forecasting benchmarks, PMT learns representations that probe well at the global, mid-range, and local scales---strong low-label classification (1--5\% labels), competitive forecasting performance across multiple horizons, and quantitative and qualitative evidence that memory states capture mid-range motifs.

Stale-Document Poisoning: When Outdated Retrieval Overrides Correct Model Answers

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is often used to address outdated knowledge by providing external evidence. But retrieval helps only when that evidence is still valid. We identify a temporal alignment failure, stale-document poisoning, in which outdated evidence makes a model wrong despite answering correctly without retrieval. We construct a benchmark of 317 verified knowledge reversals across medicine, law, software, and platform policy, grounded in dated official sources. Across 12 models, recent medical reversals are harder than long-established ones. More importantly, outdated retrieval flips 30% of Llama and 37% of Qwen answers even without instructions to trust the document; explicit follow instructions raise these rates to 66% and 75%. Across four open models and four domains, poisoning ranges from 17-91%, while matched up-to-date evidence is followed in 97-100% of trials. To isolate temporal applicability, we keep the historical evidence unchanged across 50 reversals and vary only the evaluation date. A clear pattern emerges: dates alone produce only modest adaptation, but when models are explicitly told when the old evidence stops applying, the larger models switch to the appropriate answer almost perfectly. Causal interventions confirm that this validity information directly shapes the final decision. The same internal components also support broader comparison tasks, suggesting that temporal applicability can recruit a general reasoning mechanism used for other comparisons. Finally, a fixed recency-aware hybrid re-ranker reduces poisoning by 4.6-10.0 points when dates are accurate, with gains that depend on reliable temporal metadata. Reliable RAG therefore requires selective trust: models must determine not only what retrieved evidence says, but whether it still applies.

Bridging Body and Brain: Gene-Driven Morphology--Control Co-Design

Morphology--control co-design jointly optimizes an agent's body structure and control policy as an integrated embodied system. However, existing methods typically model morphology design and control with separate networks coupled only indirectly through a shared task objective, limiting explicit high-level coordination. Inspired by natural genes that coordinate biological development, we introduce Morphogene, a compact latent blueprint that bridges an agent's body and brain. Through AdaConcat, Morphogene jointly conditions morphology and control generation at the limb level, allowing its variations to induce coordinated changes in both components. Building on this representation, we propose GeCode, which formulates co-design as exploration in the compact Morphogene space. Each Morphogene anchors a local design region in which nearby body--brain designs are explored, while performance-guided updates move these anchors toward promising regions for more efficient exploration of the broader design space. This process combines local refinement with global exploration while preserving body--brain compatibility. Extensive experiments across diverse 2D and 3D co-design tasks demonstrate that GeCode consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, achieving substantially faster convergence and higher final performance.

CG-HAF: An Interpretable Global-Local Lesion-Burden Fusion Framework for Ordinal Acne Severity Grading in Agentic Skincare Support

Ordinal acne severity grading requires distinguishing visually similar neighboring grades while jointly weighing holistic facial appearance and localized lesion burden - evidence that most existing approaches collapse into a single opaque representation. We introduce CG-HAF, a global-local fusion framework that instead keeps this evidence explicit: averaged holistic severity probabilities from independently trained classifiers are combined with structured lesion-burden descriptors from an object detector (lesion count, detection confidence, lesion area) into a compact representation, from which a lightweight, interpretable classifier produces the final grade. On a widely used benchmark, this fusion yields a clear, statistically supported improvement over global-evidence-only baselines, with the largest gains on the most severe cases. Testing on an independent dataset with a different grading standard shows that strong within-dataset performance does not transfer automatically, and a follow-up diagnostic attributes much of this gap to mismatched grading criteria rather than detection failure alone. These findings support interpretable global-local fusion as an effective strategy for ordinal acne grading while highlighting criterion alignment as key to cross-dataset portability, with a further illustration of how the resulting severity signal can support transparent, non-diagnostic decision-making in skincare applications.

UniAR: A Unified Framework for Autism Recognition Enhanced by Multi-View Prompt Learning

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder for which early and accurate diagnosis is critical to improving long-term developmental outcomes. However, existing ASD recognition methods are often constrained by the scarcity of diagnostic text data, forcing them to rely mainly on visual analysis and limiting their ability to model clinically meaningful semantic reasoning. To address this challenge, we propose UniAR, a unified framework enhanced by multi-granularity prompt learning for robust ASD recognition under heterogeneous data variations. Specifically, UniAR leverages a large multimodal model to generate hierarchical diagnostic descriptions at the word, phrase, and sentence levels, compensating for the lack of paired clinical reports. To align the generated semantics with visual evidence, we further design a Mixture-of-Experts-based Multi-Scale Alignment Module, which dynamically matches vector-quantized visual prototypes with semantic representations at corresponding granularities. Extensive experiments on four benchmarks covering brain MRI and facial expression scenarios show that UniAR consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, achieving average accuracies of 75.9\% on MRI benchmarks and 91.6\% on facial benchmarks, while improving average Accuracy on MRI benchmarks by 1.5 percentage points and average Accuracy on facial benchmarks by 1.2 percentage points over baselines. These results demonstrate that UniAR offers a robust and interpretable framework for ASD screening under semantic scarcity.

G2MAF: Test-Time Gradient Guidance for Multi-Agent Flow Policies

Offline multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) learns cooperative policies from fixed datasets without further environment interaction and a learned policy is frozen at deployment. Such a frozen policy typically proposes a single joint action and executes it directly at deployment time. However, this one-shot deployment often commits to a suboptimal proposal, even when better nearby alternatives remain consistent with the behavior data. To address this issue, we propose Gradient Guided Multi Agent Flow (G2MAF), a refinement framework for optimizing joint policies at test-time. G2MAF applies one globally normalized, projected critic gradient to guide and coordinate all agents' corrections while keeping the action both feasible and close to the frozen policy proposal. Across 24 MPE and SMAC settings, its canonical variant improves 20 frozen settings, with mean relative gains of 9.2% on MPE and 8.9% on SMAC, with model inference latency increased by about 6% only.

Resource-Optimized and Energy-Aware Agentic AI Framework Anchored on Blockchain for Secure Software Supply Chains

This paper proposes a blockchain-backed agentic security framework designed to safeguard the complete software development lifecycle (SDLC) while also securing the agentic AI components responsible for monitoring it. The framework coordinates a set of specialised security agents, covering source integrity, dependency and SBOM analysis, CI configura tion auditing, artifact verification, and runtime policy evaluation, each supported by a large language model (LLM) that interprets artefacts, reasons over tool outputs, and produces structured security reports. To ensure agent trustworthiness, every agent generates a cryptographically signed attestation that is recorded in a permissioned blockchain via smart contracts, including an agent registry, an immutable attestation log, and an enforceable release-policy module. Communication among agents and with blockchain nodes is secured using a consortium-operated certificate authority, ensuring authenticated and tamper-resistant interactions. A detailed use-case and sequence flow demonstrate how a source code security agent performs analysis, anchors its attestation on-chain, and triggers a verifiable allow/block deployment decision. The proposed framework of fers decentralised integrity transparent provenance, uninterrupted security assurance and a generalisable architecture to incorporate the agentic AI into the modern software supply chain security.
