BrainSegNet: A Novel Framework for Whole-Brain MRI Parcellation Enhanced by Large Models

Whole-brain parcellation from MRI is a critical yet challenging task due to the complexity of subdividing the brain into numerous small, irregular shaped regions. Traditionally, template-registration methods were used, but recent advances have shifted to deep learning for faster workflows. While large models like the Segment Anything Model (SAM) offer transferable feature representations, they are not tailored for the high precision required in brain parcellation. To address this, we propose BrainSegNet, a novel framework that adapts SAM for accurate whole-brain parcellation into 95 regions. We enhance SAM by integrating U-Net skip connections and specialized modules into its encoder and decoder, enabling fine-grained anatomical precision. Key components include a hybrid encoder combining U-Net skip connections with SAM's transformer blocks, a multi-scale attention decoder with pyramid pooling for varying-sized structures, and a boundary refinement module to sharpen edges. Experimental results on the Human Connectome Project (HCP) dataset demonstrate that BrainSegNet outperforms several state-of-the-art methods, achieving higher accuracy and robustness in complex, multi-label parcellation.

DISA: Offline Importance Sampling for Distribution-Matching LLM-RL

Modern reasoning agents are increasingly evaluated on their ability to generate multiple valid solution paths, plans, or tool-use traces for a given input. Standard reward-maximizing RL tends to collapse onto the most easily reinforced high-reward mode, whereas distribution-matching RL aims to allocate probability mass across the entire reward-shaped solution set. Achieving this objective requires computing a prompt-dependent partition function over the trajectory space. Because existing distribution-matching methods learn this partition function online alongside the policy, calibration errors in the partition function directly distort policy updates and remain impossible to diagnose independently. We introduce DISA, short for Decoupled Importance-Sampled Anchoring, which moves this calibration problem outside the RL loop. DISA draws proposal trajectories offline, estimates the partition function via importance sampling, and freezes the resulting partition-function estimate before policy optimization begins. This decoupling preserves the distribution-matching objective while strictly separating partition-function estimation from policy learning in data, gradients, loss, and diagnostics. Empirically, on two open-weight backbones across six math and three code benchmarks, DISA matches or exceeds the online-coupled distribution-matching baseline FlowRL, outperforms rewardmaximization baselines GRPO and GSPO on math averages, and exceeds LoRASFT distillation by up to 13.8 Mean@8 points on the same offline trajectories. An LLM-as-judge evaluation further shows that DISA retains substantially more strategy-level diversity than reward-maximization baselines, and sensitivity studies on the proposal strength and inverse temperature follow the bias-variance pattern predicted by the analysis.

RIGOURATE: Quantifying Scientific Exaggeration with Evidence-Aligned Claim Evaluation

Scientific rigour tends to be sidelined in favour of bold statements, leading authors to overstate claims beyond what their results support. We present RIGOURATE, a two-stage multimodal framework that retrieves supporting evidence from a paper's body and assigns each claim an overstatement score. The framework consists of a dataset of over 10K claim-evidence sets from ICLR and NeurIPS papers, annotated using eight LLMs, with overstatement scores calibrated using peer-review comments and validated through human evaluation. It employes a fine-tuned reranker for evidence retrieval and a fine-tuned model to predict overstatement scores with justification. Compared to strong baselines, RIGOURATE enables improved evidence retrieval and overstatement detection. Overall, our work operationalises evidential proportionality and supports clearer, more transparent scientific communication.

Cache-Augmented Inbatch Importance Resampling for Training Recommender Retriever

Recommender retrievers aim to rapidly retrieve a fraction of items from the entire item corpus when a user query requests, with the representative two-tower model trained with the log softmax loss. For efficiently training recommender retrievers on modern hardwares, inbatch sampling, where the items in the mini-batch are shared as negatives to estimate the softmax function, has attained growing interest. However, existing inbatch sampling based strategies just correct the sampling bias of inbatch items with item frequency, being unable to distinguish the user queries within the mini-batch and still incurring significant bias from the softmax. In this paper, we propose a Cache-Augmented Inbatch Importance Resampling (XIR) for training recommender retrievers, which not only offers different negatives to user queries with inbatch items, but also adaptively achieves a more accurate estimation of the softmax distribution. Specifically, XIR resamples items for the given mini-batch training pairs based on certain probabilities, where a cache with more frequently sampled items is adopted to augment the candidate item set, with the purpose of reusing the historical informative samples. XIR enables to sample query-dependent negatives based on inbatch items and to capture dynamic changes of model training, which leads to a better approximation of the softmax and further contributes to better convergence. Finally, we conduct experiments to validate the superior performance of the proposed XIR compared with competitive approaches.

Nominal Metaphor Generation with Multitask Learning

Metaphor generation is a challenging task which can impact many downstream tasks such as improving user satisfaction with dialogue systems and story generation. This paper tackles the problem of Chinese nominal metaphor generation by introducing a multitask metaphor generation framework with self-training and metaphor identification mechanisms. Self-training addresses the data scarcity issue of metaphor datasets. That is, instead of solely relying on labelled metaphor datasets which are usually small in size, self-training helps identify potential metaphors from a large-scale unlabelled corpus for metaphor generation. The metaphor weighting mechanism enables our model to focus on the metaphor-related parts of the input (e.g., the comparison of the metaphor and comparator) during model learning and thus improves the metaphoricity of the generated metaphors. Our model is trained on an annotated corpus consisting of 6.3k sentences that contain diverse metaphorical expressions. Experimental results show that our model is able to generate metaphors with better readability and creativity compared to the baseline models, even in the situation where training data is insufficient.
