AutoVecCoder: Teaching LLMs to Generate Explicitly Vectorized Code

Vectorization via Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) architectures is a cornerstone of high-performance computing. To fully exploit hardware potential, developers often resort to explicit vectorization using intrinsics, as compiler-based auto-vectorization frequently yields suboptimal results due to conservative static analysis. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable proficiency in general code generation, they struggle with explicit vectorization due to the scarcity of high-quality corpora and the strict semantic constraints of low-level hardware instructions. In this paper, we propose AutoVecCoder, a novel framework designed to empower LLMs with the capability of automated explicit vectorization. AutoVecCoder integrates two core components: VecPrompt, an automated data synthesis pipeline to inject domain-specific intrinsic knowledge; and VecRL, a reinforcement learning framework that aligns code generation with execution efficiency. AutoVecCoder-8B trained by this framework achieves state-of-the-art performance on the SSE and AVX subsets of SimdBench and, in some cases, generates implementations surpassing standard -O3 optimizations, effectively overcoming the inherent bottlenecks of traditional automated vectorization.

Fitting Is Not Enough: Smoothness in Extremely Quantized LLMs

Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance but incur high deployment costs, motivating extremely low-bit but lossy quantization. Existing quantization algorithms mainly focus on improving the numerical accuracy of forward computation to eliminate performance degradation. In this paper, we show that extremely quantized LLMs suffer from systematic smoothness degradation beyond numerical precision loss. Through a smoothness proxy, we observe that such degradation becomes increasingly severe as the quantization bit-width decreases. Furthermore, based on sequence neighborhood modeling, we find that quantized models exhibit a rapid reduction of effective token candidates within the prediction neighborhood, which directly leads to a sparser decoding tree and degraded generation quality. To validate it, we introduce a simple smoothness-preserving principle in both post-training quantization and quantization-aware training, and demonstrate that preserving smoothness brings additional gains beyond numerical accuracy. The core goal of this paper is to highlight smoothness preservation as an important design consideration for future extreme quantization methods.

JOGS: Joint Optimization of Pose Estimation and 3D Gaussian Splatting

Traditional novel view synthesis methods heavily rely on external camera pose estimation tools such as COLMAP, which often introduce computational bottlenecks and propagate errors. To address these challenges, we propose a unified framework that jointly optimizes 3D Gaussian points and camera poses without requiring pre-calibrated inputs. Our approach iteratively refines 3D Gaussian parameters and updates camera poses through a novel co-optimization strategy, ensuring simultaneous improvements in scene reconstruction fidelity and pose estimation accuracy. The key innovation lies in decoupling the joint optimization into two interleaved phases: first, updating 3D Gaussian parameters via differentiable rendering with fixed poses, and second, refining camera poses using a customized 3D optical flow algorithm that incorporates geometric and photometric constraints. This formulation progressively reduces projection errors, particularly in challenging scenarios with large viewpoint variations and sparse feature distributions, where traditional methods struggle. Extensive evaluations on multiple datasets demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms existing COLMAP-free techniques in reconstruction quality, and also surpasses the standard COLMAP-based baseline in general.

MiniCPM-o 4.5: Towards Real-Time Full-Duplex Omni-Modal Interaction

Recent progress in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) has brought AI capabilities from static offline data processing to real-time streaming interaction, yet they still remain far from human-level multimodal interaction. The key bottlenecks are no longer modality coverage or latency alone, but the interaction paradigm itself. First, perception and response are still separated into alternating phases, preventing models from incorporating new inputs for timely adjustment during generation. Second, most current models remain reactive, responding only to explicit user requests instead of acting proactively in the evolving multimodal environment. We present MiniCPM-o 4.5, our latest effort towards human-like multimodal interaction, which mitigates these gaps by real-time full-duplex omni-modal interaction. It can see, listen, and speak simultaneously in real-time, while also exhibiting proactive behaviors such as issuing reminders or comments based on its continuous understanding of the live scene. The key technique behind MiniCPM-o 4.5 is Omni-Flow, a unified streaming framework that aligns omni-modal inputs and outputs along a shared temporal axis. This formulation converts conventional turn-based interaction into a full-duplex, time-aligned process, enabling simultaneous perception and response and allowing proactive behavior to arise within the same framework. With a total of 9B parameters, MiniCPM-o 4.5 approaches Gemini 2.5 Flash in vision-language capabilities, delivering state-of-the-art open-source performance at its scale. It also surpasses Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B in omni-modal understanding and delivers better speech generation, with significantly higher computation efficiency. Driven by its efficient architecture design and inference optimization, the model can perform real-time full-duplex omni-modal interaction on edge devices with less than 12GB RAM cost.

WOW-Seg: A Word-free Open World Segmentation Model

Open world image segmentation aims to achieve precise segmentation and semantic understanding of targets within images by addressing the infinitely open set of object categories encountered in the real world. However, traditional closed-set segmentation approaches struggle to adapt to complex open world scenarios, while foundation segmentation models such as SAM exhibit notable discrepancies between their strong segmentation capabilities and relatively weaker semantic understanding. To bridge these discrepancies, we propose WOW-Seg, a Word-free Open World Segmentation model for segmenting and recognizing objects from open-set categories. Specifically, WOW-Seg introduces a novel visual prompt module, Mask2Token, which transforms image masks into visual tokens and ensures their alignment with the VLLM feature space. Moreover, we introduce the Cascade Attention Mask to decouple information across different instances. This approach mitigates inter-instance interference, leading to a significant improvement in model performance. We further construct an open world region recognition test benchmark: the Region Recognition Dataset (RR-7K). With 7,662 classes, it represents the most extensive category-rich region recognition dataset to date. WOW-Seg attains strong results on the LVIS dataset, achieving a semantic similarity of 89.7 and a semantic IoU of 82.4. This performance surpasses the previous SOTA while using only one-eighth the parameter count. These results underscore the strong open world generalization capabilities of WOW-Seg. The code and related resources are available at https://github.com/AAwcAA/WOW-Seg-Meta.

Analyzing Communication Predictability in LLM Training

Effective communication is essential in distributed training, with predictability being one of its most significant characteristics. However, existing studies primarily focus on exploiting predictability through online profiling for runtime optimization, without a systematic understanding of it. In this work, we aim to systematically formulate communication predictability in distributed training, particularly in Large Language Models (LLMs) that utilize hybrid parallelism. Our analysis focuses on both traffic patterns and communication overhead. Specifically, we investigate predictable traffic patterns in typical LLMs and evaluate how various factors influence GPU utilization and effective bandwidth (two critical variables affecting communication overhead). Furthermore, we develop an analytical formulation to estimate communication overhead in LLM training, which is validated with high accuracy against empirical data. Leveraging this formulation, we propose a configuration tuning tool, ConfigTuner, to optimize training performance. Compared to Megatron-LM, the training configurations optimized by ConfigTuner demonstrate up to a 1.36$\times$ increase in throughput. Compared to Alpa, ConfigTuner generates the same configuration suggestion while significantly reducing the search complexity.

The Role of Population III Star Tidal Disruption Events in Black Hole Growth at the Cosmic Dawn

The discovery of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at high redshifts has intensified efforts to understand their early formation and rapid growth during the cosmic dawn. Using a semi-analytical cosmological framework, we investigate the role of tidal disruption events (TDEs) involving Population III (Pop-III) stars in driving the growth of heavy seed black holes (10^4-10^6 solar mass). Our results indicate that Pop-III TDEs significantly accelerate the growth of relatively lighter massive black holes (~ 10^4-10^5 solar mass), allowing them to increase their mass by roughly an order of magnitude within the first 10 Myr. Cosmological evolution modeling further supports that such Pop-III TDE-driven growth scenarios are consistent with the formation pathways of observed luminous high-redshift quasars originating from seed black holes at 10<z<15. We also discuss the future observational probes of these early-stage growth processes that future facilities, including space-based gravitational wave observatories and infrared telescopes like JWST, could potentially detect. These findings provide a clear observational framework to test the critical role of Pop-III star interactions in the rapid buildup of SMBHs during the earliest epochs.

A Generative Adversarial Network-based Selective Ensemble Characteristic-to-Expression Synthesis (SE-CTES) Approach and Its Applications in Healthcare

Investigating the causal relationships between characteristics and expressions plays a critical role in healthcare analytics. Effective synthesis for expressions using given characteristics can make great contributions to health risk management and medical decision-making. For example, predicting the resulting physiological symptoms on patients from given treatment characteristics is helpful for the disease prevention and personalized treatment strategy design. Therefore, the objective of this study is to effectively synthesize the expressions based on given characteristics. However, the mapping from characteristics to expressions is usually from a relatively low dimension space to a high dimension space, but most of the existing methods such as regression models could not effectively handle such mapping. Besides, the relationship between characteristics and expressions may contain not only deterministic patterns, but also stochastic patterns. To address these challenges, this paper proposed a novel selective ensemble characteristic-to-expression synthesis (SE-CTES) approach inspired by generative adversarial network (GAN). The novelty of the proposed method can be summarized into three aspects: (1) GAN-based architecture for deep neural networks are incorporated to learn the relatively low dimensional mapping to high dimensional mapping containing both deterministic and stochastic patterns; (2) the weights of the two mismatching errors in the GAN-based architecture are proposed to be different to reduce the learning bias in the training process; and (3) a selective ensemble learning framework is proposed to reduce the prediction bias and improve the synthesis stability. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, extensive numerical simulation studies and a real-world healthcare case study were applied and the results demonstrated that the proposed method is very promising.

UID2021: An Underwater Image Dataset for Evaluation of No-reference Quality Assessment Metrics

Achieving subjective and objective quality assessment of underwater images is of high significance in underwater visual perception and image/video processing. However, the development of underwater image quality assessment (UIQA) is limited for the lack of comprehensive human subjective user study with publicly available dataset and reliable objective UIQA metric. To address this issue, we establish a large-scale underwater image dataset, dubbed UID2021, for evaluating no-reference UIQA metrics. The constructed dataset contains 60 multiply degraded underwater images collected from various sources, covering six common underwater scenes (i.e. bluish scene, bluish-green scene, greenish scene, hazy scene, low-light scene, and turbid scene), and their corresponding 900 quality improved versions generated by employing fifteen state-of-the-art underwater image enhancement and restoration algorithms. Mean opinion scores (MOS) for UID2021 are also obtained by using the pair comparison sorting method with 52 observers. Both in-air NR-IQA and underwater-specific algorithms are tested on our constructed dataset to fairly compare the performance and analyze their strengths and weaknesses. Our proposed UID2021 dataset enables ones to evaluate NR UIQA algorithms comprehensively and paves the way for further research on UIQA. Our UID2021 will be a free download and utilized for research purposes at: https://github.com/Hou-Guojia/UID2021.

Benchmarking 50-Photon Gaussian Boson Sampling on the Sunway TaihuLight

Boson sampling is expected to be one of an important milestones that will demonstrate quantum supremacy. The present work establishes the benchmarking of Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) with threshold detection based on the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer. To achieve the best performance and provide a competitive scenario for future quantum computing studies, the selected simulation algorithm is fully optimized based on a set of innovative approaches, including a parallel scheme and instruction-level optimizing method. Furthermore, data precision and instruction scheduling are handled in a sophisticated manner by an adaptive precision optimization scheme and a DAG-based heuristic search algorithm, respectively. Based on these methods, a highly efficient and parallel quantum sampling algorithm is designed. The largest run enables us to obtain one Torontonian function of a 100 x 100 submatrix from 50-photon GBS within 20 hours in 128-bit precision and 2 days in 256-bit precision.
