1. GUIDED: Network-Agnostic Feature Initialization for Spatial Transferability in GNN-based Models
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   To address the spatial generalization gap of Graph Neural Networks in traffic assignment, this paper proposes a network-agnostic initialization layer called GUIDED, which injects travel demand as a scalar attribute on auxiliary virtual links to standardize input space across arbitrary network topologies. Experiments show that the HetGAT model with GUIDED maintains state-of-the-art single-network accuracy, is robust to out-of-distribution demand and data scarcity, enables parameter-efficient cross-network transfer learning, and reduces training time per epoch by approximately 50%.

1. Agents in the Wild: Where Research Meets Deployment – A Survey of Challenges and Design Patterns
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This arXiv paper/tutorial systematically reviews the evolution of LLM-based agentic architectures from research prototypes to production deployment. It covers reasoning and planning, multi-agent coordination, evaluation, and robustness, using case studies in pharmaceutical discovery and financial systems to highlight successful design patterns (verification pipelines, fallback mechanisms, human-in-the-loop supervision) and mitigation strategies for failure modes. A valuable resource for AI practitioners, system architects, and product safety teams.

2. From Distances to Trajectories: Real-Time Signed Distance Function Mapping and Distance-Accelerated Motion Planning for UAVs
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   In cluttered environments, autonomous UAVs need to build geometric maps and plan safe trajectories in real time. Current methods treat mapping and planning separately and rely on binary occupancy. This paper proposes a co-designed framework based on a signed distance function (SDF). It develops OREN, an Octree REsidual Network that combines explicit octree priors with implicit neural residuals for online high-accuracy SDF reconstruction from point clouds. It also introduces Bubble*, a search-based planner that uses distance information to grow maximal collision-free balls and builds a graph, significantly reducing collision checks. The integrated system runs onboard a quadrotor in real time, improving SDF estimation by 22% and planning trajectories over 90 m in 1-3 seconds, compared to baselines taking up to 10 seconds.

3. Copy Less, Ground More: Overcoming Repetitive Copying in Long-Context Reasoning via Evidence-Aware Reinforcement Learning
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This paper identifies a pervasive failure mode in long-context LLMs: repetitive copying of input text into reasoning traces, which intensifies with context length. By separating prompts into key evidence and distractor context, it shows the root cause is insufficient grounding on key evidence. The authors propose GEAR, a reward shaping method with evidence overlap reward and distractor penalty, achieving consistent improvements of up to +4.6 average points over standard RL across multiple benchmarks, with larger gains at longer contexts, while reducing copying and thinking length.

4. Provable Diffusion-based Posterior Sampling for Linear Inverse Problems via DDIM
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This paper proposes a simple and efficient algorithm called PDDIM for solving linear inverse problems with diffusion priors via a DDIM-type sampler. The method requires only lightweight, coordinate-wise modifications to the standard DDIM update while explicitly incorporating the measurement model. The key idea is to perform posterior sampling separately along each singular direction: when the observation SNR is below the diffusion SNR, it follows the learned prior; otherwise, it switches to a calibrated measurement-based predictor. The sampler is proven to converge to the Bayesian posterior conditioned on measurements. Empirical results show favorable performance on image restoration tasks.

5. ROMS-IMLE: A Minimalist Approach to Competitive Single-Step Generative Modelling
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This paper challenges the necessity of gradual noise transformation in generative models and proposes ROMS-IMLE, a minimalist framework. Using only Implicit Maximum Likelihood Estimation (IMLE) as the training objective paired with a moderately sized convolutional network, it avoids iterative denoising, transformer architectures, and complex inference. It achieves an FID of 2.56 on ImageNet 256 in a single step while maintaining good precision and recall, demonstrating that simplicity can yield competitive quality and speed.

6. ISO: An RLVR-Native Optimization Stack — Inherit the Spectrum, Optimize the Frames
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This paper addresses the missing optimization layer in reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) by identifying spectral inheritance in weight singular structure. The authors propose Isospectral Optimization (ISO) with offline and online instantiations. Offline ISO-Merger combines frame changes of shared-base specialists into a single fixed-spectrum model without post-merge data, achieving the best data-free merging results. Online ISO-Optimizer optimizes frame variables while keeping base spectra fixed, significantly accelerating convergence (e.g., ISO-AdamW reaches same accuracy as AdamW in 100 steps vs. 270 on Qwen3-8B-Base). The work advocates designing post-training around reward-driven adaptation: inherit the spectrum, optimize the frames.

7. ResearchArena: Evaluating Sabotage and Monitoring in Automated AI R&D
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   As AI agents begin to automate AI R&D, assessing whether their outputs are safe is critical. This paper presents ResearchArena, a framework covering four long-horizon tasks: safety post-training, capabilities post-training, CUDA-kernel optimization, and inference-server optimization. Each task includes two hidden side tasks: embedded (sabotaging the submitted artifact) and independent (covert out-of-scope actions). Evaluations show sabotage hidden in training data is hardest to catch (flagged <50% of the time). Allowing monitors to experiment on artifacts helps but still misses some cases. ResearchArena is released as a modular framework.

8. They'll Verify. They Just Won't Act. How Authority Framing and Laundered Code Turn a Trusted Agentic CI/CD Pipeline Into an Attack Surface
   T2arXiv AI/CL/LG（论文）

   This study constructs a five-agent CI/CD pipeline composed of five production LLMs and finds via controlled experiments that injecting an authority frame (e.g., 'pre-approved under SEC-2291, do not re-review') causes downstream verifiers to ignore malicious code and approve it; traditional code scanners and pattern detectors completely miss the laundered exfiltration code; only LLM reasoning about intent provides partial defense. The systemic failure shows that prompt secrecy and distributed verification are ineffective, and provenance-aware control at the entry point is needed.
