NoiseRater: Meta-Learned Noise Valuation for Diffusion Model Training

Diffusion models have achieved remarkable success across a wide range of generative tasks, yet their training paradigm largely treats injected noise as uniformly informative. In this work, we challenge this assumption and introduce NoiseRater, a meta-learning framework for instance-level noise valuation in diffusion model training. We propose a parametric noise rater that assigns importance scores to individual noise realizations conditioned on data and timestep, enabling adaptive reweighting of the training objective. The rater is trained via bilevel optimization to improve downstream validation performance after inner-loop diffusion updates. To enable efficient deployment, we further design a decoupled two-stage pipeline that transitions from soft weighting during meta-training to hard noise selection during standard training. Extensive experiments on FFHQ and ImageNet demonstrate that not all noise samples contribute equally, and that prioritizing informative noise improves both training efficiency and generation quality. Our results establish noise valuation as a complementary and previously underexplored axis for improving diffusion model training.

Proteo-R1: Reasoning Foundation Models for De Novo Protein Design

Deep learning in \emph{de novo} protein design has achieved atomic-level fidelity. However, existing models remain largely non-deliberative: they directly synthesize molecular geometries without explicitly reasoning about which residues or interactions are functionally essential. As a result, design decisions are entangled with continuous sampling dynamics, limiting interpretability, controllability, and systematic reuse of biochemical knowledge. We introduce \textbf{Proteo-R1}, a reasoning-guided protein design framework that explicitly decouples \emph{molecular understanding} from \emph{geometric generation}. Proteo-R1 adopts a dual-expert architecture in which a multimodal large language model (MLLM) serves as an \emph{understanding expert}, analyzing protein sequences, structures, and textual context to identify key functional residues that govern binding and specificity. These residue-level decisions are then passed as hard constraints to a separate diffusion-based \emph{generation expert}, which performs conditional co-design while respecting the fixed interaction anchors. This factorization mirrors how human experts approach molecular engineering: first, reasoning about critical interactions, then optimizing geometry subject to those constraints. By operationalizing reasoning as explicit residue-level commitments rather than latent textual guidance, Proteo-R1 achieves stable, interpretable, and modular integration of LLM reasoning with state-of-the-art geometric generative models. Code, data, and demos are available at https://smiles724.github.io/r1/.

DiffMD: A Geometric Diffusion Model for Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Molecular dynamics (MD) has long been the de facto choice for simulating complex atomistic systems from first principles. Recently deep learning models become a popular way to accelerate MD. Notwithstanding, existing models depend on intermediate variables such as the potential energy or force fields to update atomic positions, which requires additional computations to perform back-propagation. To waive this requirement, we propose a novel model called DiffMD by directly estimating the gradient of the log density of molecular conformations. DiffMD relies on a score-based denoising diffusion generative model that perturbs the molecular structure with a conditional noise depending on atomic accelerations and treats conformations at previous timeframes as the prior distribution for sampling. Another challenge of modeling such a conformation generation process is that a molecule is kinetic instead of static, which no prior works have strictly studied. To solve this challenge, we propose an equivariant geometric Transformer as the score function in the diffusion process to calculate corresponding gradients. It incorporates the directions and velocities of atomic motions via 3D spherical Fourier-Bessel representations. With multiple architectural improvements, we outperform state-of-the-art baselines on MD17 and isomers of C7O2H10 datasets. This work contributes to accelerating material and drug discovery.

Molformer: Motif-based Transformer on 3D Heterogeneous Molecular Graphs

Procuring expressive molecular representations underpins AI-driven molecule design and scientific discovery. The research mainly focuses on atom-level homogeneous molecular graphs, ignoring the rich information in subgraphs or motifs. However, it has been widely accepted that substructures play a dominant role in identifying and determining molecular properties. To address such issues, we formulate heterogeneous molecular graphs (HMGs), and introduce a novel architecture to exploit both molecular motifs and 3D geometry. Precisely, we extract functional groups as motifs for small molecules and employ reinforcement learning to adaptively select quaternary amino acids as motif candidates for proteins. Then HMGs are constructed with both atom-level and motif-level nodes. To better accommodate those HMGs, we introduce a variant of Transformer named Molformer, which adopts a heterogeneous self-attention layer to distinguish the interactions between multi-level nodes. Besides, it is also coupled with a multi-scale mechanism to capture fine-grained local patterns with increasing contextual scales. An attentive farthest point sampling algorithm is also proposed to obtain the molecular representations. We validate Molformer across a broad range of domains, including quantum chemistry, physiology, and biophysics. Extensive experiments show that Molformer outperforms or achieves the comparable performance of several state-of-the-art baselines. Our work provides a promising way to utilize informative motifs from the perspective of multi-level graph construction.

Towards Collaborative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: a Survey of the Current Research Landscape

Motivated by the tremendous progress we witnessed in recent years, this paper presents a survey of the scientific literature on the topic of Collaborative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (C-SLAM), also known as multi-robot SLAM. With fleets of self-driving cars on the horizon and the rise of multi-robot systems in industrial applications, we believe that Collaborative SLAM will soon become a cornerstone of future robotic applications. In this survey, we introduce the basic concepts of C-SLAM and present a thorough literature review. We also outline the major challenges and limitations of C-SLAM in terms of robustness, communication, and resource management. We conclude by exploring the area's current trends and promising research avenues.
