Brain-Language-Action (BLA) Models: Language-Conditioned EEG for Robotics Control

A proof-of-concept Brain-Language-Action (BLA) model for drone control using motor-imagery EEG from the BCI Competition IV 2a dataset is developed, providing an initial demonstration that language conditioning can expand the effective control range of EEG-based robotic interfaces without requiring a corresponding increase in the number of directly distinguishable neural states.

The information geometry of product-reference discrete diffusion: Interaction growth complexity and optimal scheduling

The aggregate IGC mass admits bounds in terms of total correlation and dual total correlation, thereby connecting the pathwise geometry to classical measures of multivariate dependence and connecting the pathwise geometry to classical measures of multivariate dependence.

MERIT: Mitigating Exposure Bias in Generative XMC for User-Interest Propensity Modeling

Matching users to interest categories at scale is central to personalized shopping, but the task is challenging in large e-commerce platforms, where label spaces continually evolve and user-interest signals are sparse and long-tailed. Autoregressive language models are appealing because their world knowledge and semantic priors over descriptors generalize across extreme label spaces and accommodate multiple valid label assignments. Yet under teacher-forced fine-tuning, inference-time predictions become part of the conditioning context: early errors steer later outputs toward co-occurring labels, over-generating near-correlates and missing unrelated true interests. We present MERIT, a framework for user-interest propensity modeling that mitigates this exposure bias through a self-correction objective. A permutation-invariant multi-target loss over shuffled mixtures of gold and mined hard-negative labels exposes the generator to erroneous prefixes while preserving the efficiency of teacher-forced training. This training objective concentrates supervision at classification positions, yielding propensity-aligned hidden states powering a lightweight scorer for bidirectional retrieval (interests for users and users for interests). On a proprietary e-commerce dataset with 250k+ interest categories, MERIT improves global recall by at least 11.9% and average Hit@k by 6.1%. In production A/B tests, it achieves +0.26% gain in user conversion.

mmIR: Frequency-Space Inverse Rendering for 3D Millimeter-Wave Radar ADC Synthesis

High-resolution 3D radar data is scarce. Commodity mmWave sensors use small antenna arrays that limit angular resolution to several degrees, and existing datasets provide only 2D range-azimuth maps or sparse point clouds rather than raw analog-to-digital converter (ADC) signals. Hardware scaling is expensive, synthetic-aperture scanning is impractical at fleet scale, and learned synthesis methods are bottlenecked by the very data shortage they aim to address. We present mmIR, an open-source differentiable frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar inverse renderer that fits a physics-based forward model to real captures and re-renders from dense virtual apertures to synthesize high-resolution 3D radar data. Because radar resolution is too coarse to recover geometry directly, mmIR performs LiDAR-assisted inverse rendering: using LiDAR-derived meshes as a geometric scaffold, mmIR optimizes per-vertex International Telecommunication Union (ITU) physics materials, vertex normals, and antenna beam patterns through end-to-end automatic differentiation of a phase-coherent multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) forward model with multi-bounce propagation, polarization, and free-space diffraction. On seven outdoor and six indoor ColoRadar scenes, mmIR achieves 0.914 mean Pearson correlation on range-azimuth maps versus 0.307 for Sionna-RT. Scenes trained on a cascaded imaging radar transfer to a co-located single-chip radar without re-training (0.554 correlation), and dense virtual arrays (100x100 elements) produce single-frame 3D occupancy validated against LiDAR.

MWIR-4-Plastic: The Identification of Complex End-of-Life Industrial Plastic using Mid-wave Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging and Machine Learning

The automated sorting of shredded black plastics from end-of-life (EOF) industrial waste presents a significant challenge in recycling facilities, primarily due to the limitations of current sensing and analytical approaches. Existing studies predominantly rely on single-point contact-based mid-infrared spectroscopy or laboratory hyperspectral imaging (HSI) setups, which fail to provide the spatially resolved analysis necessary for fast, bulk processing. Moreover, available datasets are laboratory-controlled and focus on intact rather than shredded plastics, hindering further recycling refinement. Black industrial plastics, in particular, are underrepresented, while most classification pipelines depend on manual region selection and rule-based spectral matching, neglecting spatial information and modern deep learning (DL) methods. To address these gaps, we introduce the first publicly available HSI dataset of shredded black plastics from EOF vehicle, comprising four industrial polymers across 13 co-registered RGB, VNIR, SWIR, and MWIR scenes and their segmentation pipeline. We developed a multi-modal spectral-spatial framework that integrates foreground isolation, pixel-wise classification, and object-level majority voting. By adapting advanced hyperspectral transformers from earth observation and incorporating chemometric band selection, we achieve accurate classification of complex black plastics. The study establishes the first comprehensive benchmark using nine processing methods, including chemometric, machine learning, and DL architectures. To ensure reproducibility, the complete dataset and methodologies are publicly released, establishing a benchmark for a hyperspectral object-analysis pipeline in industrial inspection.

Generative Translation Priors: Bayesian Imaging with Cross-Modality Image Translation

This work introduces Generative Translation Priors--a Bayesian framework that transforms diffusion-based image-to-image translation models into cross-modality image priors for ill-posed imaging inverse problems, and derives two discretized GTP algorithms based on gradient and proximal likelihood guidance.
