ARM: Role-Conditioned Neuron Transplantation for Training-Free Generalist LLM Agent Merging

Interactive large language model agents have advanced rapidly, but most remain specialized to a single environment and fail to adapt robustly to other environments. Model merging offers a training-free alternative by integrating multiple experts into a single model. In this paper, we propose Agent-Role Merging (ARM), an activation-guided, role-conditioned neuron transplantation method for model merging in LLM agents. ARM improves existing merging methods from static natural language tasks to multi-turn agent scenarios, and over the generalization ability across various interactive environments. This is achieved with a well designed 3-step framework: 1) constructing merged backbones, 2) selection based on its role-conditioned activation analysis, and 3) neuron transplantation for fine-grained refinements. Without gradient-based optimization, ARM improves cross-benchmark generalization while enjoying efficiency. Across diverse domains, the model obtained via ARM merging outperforms prior model merging methods and domain-specific expert models, while demonstrating strong out-of-domain generalization.

Robust Online Overdetermined Independent Vector Analysis Based on Bilinear Decomposition

Online blind source separation is essential for both speech communication and human-machine interaction. Among existing approaches, overdetermined independent vector analysis (OverIVA) delivers strong performance by exploiting the statistical independence of source signals and the orthogonality between source and noise subspaces. However, when applied to large microphone arrays, the number of parameters grows rapidly, which can degrade online estimation accuracy. To overcome this challenge, we propose decomposing each long separation filter into a bilinear form of two shorter filters, thereby reducing the number of parameters. Because the two filters are closely coupled, we design an alternating iterative projection algorithm to update them in turn. Simulation results show that, with far fewer parameters, the proposed method achieves improved performance and robustness.

SliceGraph: Mapping Process Isomers in Multi-Run Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

Multi-run chain-of-thought reasoning is usually collapsed to final-answer aggregates, which discard howsampled trajectories share, split, and rejoin through intermediate computation. We propose SliceGraph, a post-hoc problem-model-cell graph built by mutual-kNN over sparse activation-key Jaccard similarity between CoT slices, and treat it as a measurement object for process geometry rather than as a decoding program. Across sampled CoT ensembles from three primary 4B/8B models on math and science benchmarks, blinded annotation supports SliceGraph biconnected components as shared reasoning-state units and process families as within-family strategy-coherent route units. In 85.5% of 954 problem-model cells, correct CoTs sharing the same normalized answer split into multiple process families; among cells with at least two such runs, 76.6% of run pairs are cross-family on average. We call such same-answer, family-divergent correct trajectories process isomers. A label-seeded reward field provides a separate value-landscape layer: success-associated regions often split into disconnected high-value cores, and route families specialize over these core footprints rather than merely duplicating one another. A typed-state transition analysis further shows that process families navigate the same atlas with distinct transition kernels under matched null controls. Representation ablations, a cross-architecture replication, and two cross-scale replications support the robustness of the route-family scaffold, showing that final-answer aggregation overlooks this structured multi-route process geometry.

Thinking Traps in Long Chain-of-Thought: A Measurable Study and Trap-Aware Adaptive Restart

Scaling test-time compute via Long Chain-of-Thought (Long-CoT) significantly enhances reasoning capabilities, yet extended generation does not guarantee correctness: after an early wrong commitment, models may keep elaborating a self-consistent but incorrect prefix. Through fine-grained trajectory analysis, we identify Thinking Traps, prefix-dominant deadlocks where later reflection, alternative attempts, or verification fails to revise the root error. On a curated subset of DAPO-MATH, 89\% of failures exhibit such traps. To solve this problem, we introduce TAAR (Trap-Aware Adaptive Restart), a test-time control framework that trains a diagnostic policy to predict two signals from partial trajectories: a trap index for where to truncate and an escape probability for whether and how strongly to intervene. At inference time, TAAR truncates the trajectory before the predicted trap segment and adaptively restarts decoding; for severely trapped cases, it applies stronger perturbations, including higher-temperature resampling and an optional structured reboot suffix. Experiments on challenging mathematical and scientific reasoning benchmarks (AIME24, AIME25, GPQA-Diamond, HMMT25, BRUMO25) show that TAAR improves reasoning performance without fine-tuning base model parameters.

Occlum: Secure and Efficient Multitasking Inside a Single Enclave of Intel SGX

Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) enables user-level code to create private memory regions called enclaves, whose code and data are protected by the CPU from software and hardware attacks outside the enclaves. Recent work introduces library operating systems (LibOSes) to SGX so that legacy applications can run inside enclaves with few or even no modifications. As virtually any non-trivial application demands multiple processes, it is essential for LibOSes to support multitasking. However, none of the existing SGX LibOSes support multitasking both securely and efficiently. This paper presents Occlum, a system that enables secure and efficient multitasking on SGX. We implement the LibOS processes as SFI-Isolated Processes (SIPs). SFI is a software instrumentation technique for sandboxing untrusted modules (called domains). We design a novel SFI scheme named MPX-based, Multi-Domain SFI (MMDSFI) and leverage MMDSFI to enforce the isolation of SIPs. We also design an independent verifier to ensure the security guarantees of MMDSFI. With SIPs safely sharing the single address space of an enclave, the LibOS can implement multitasking efficiently. The Occlum LibOS outperforms the state-of-the-art SGX LibOS on multitasking-heavy workloads by up to 6,600X on micro-benchmarks and up to 500X on application benchmarks.

Application of Origen2.1 in the decay photon spectrum calculation of spallation products

Origen2.1 is a widely used computer code for calculating the burnup, decay, and processing of radioactive materials. However, the nuclide library of Origen2.1 is used for existing reactors like pressurized water reactor, to calculate the photon spectrum released by the decay of spallation products, we have made specific libraries for the ADS tungsten spallation target, based on the results given by a Monte Carlo code: FLUKA. All the data used to make the Origen2.1 libraries is obtained from Nuclear structure & decay Data (NuDat2.6). The accumulated activity of spallation products and the contribution of nuclides to photon emission are given in this paper.

RFP: A Remote Fetching Paradigm for RDMA-Accelerated Systems

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is an efficient way to improve the performance of traditional client-server systems. Currently, there are two main design paradigms for RDMA-accelerated systems. The first allows the clients to directly operate the server's memory and totally bypasses the CPUs at server side. The second follows the traditional server-reply paradigm, which asks the server to write results back to the clients. However, the first method has to expose server's memory and needs tremendous re-design of upper-layer software, which is complex, unsafe, error-prone, and inefficient. The second cannot achieve high input/output operations per second (IOPS), because it employs out-bound RDMA-write at server side which is not efficient. We find that the performance of out-bound RDMA-write and in-bound RDMA-read is asymmetric and the latter is 5 times faster than the former. Based on this observation, we propose a novel design paradigm named Remote Fetching Paradigm (RFP). In RFP, the server is still responsible for processing requests from the clients. However, counter-intuitively, instead of sending results back to the clients through out-bound RDMA-write, the server only writes the results in local memory buffers, and the clients use in-bound RDMA-read to remotely fetch these results. Since in-bound RDMA-read achieves much higher IOPS than out-bound RDMA-write, our model is able to bring higher performance than the traditional models. In order to prove the effectiveness of RFP, we design and implement an RDMA-accelerated in-memory key-value store following the RFP model. To further improve the IOPS, we propose an optimization mechanism that combines status checking and result fetching. Experiment results show that RFP can improve the IOPS by 160%~310% against state-of-the-art models for in-memory key-value stores.
