D2C-Routing: Dimension-to-Composition Evidence Routing for Mixed-Origin AI-Generated Text Detection
Xin Chen, Fuwei Zhang, Yiqi Tong and 3 more
AI-generated text detection is commonly framed as a binary document-level judgment about whether a text is human-written or machine-generated. This framing breaks down for mixed-origin writing, where content origin and expression origin may differ. We cast mixed-origin detection as dimension-to-composition source attribution, inferring content origin and expression origin before composing them into four collaboration types. We propose Dimension-to-Composition Routing (D2C-Routing), which routes content-side and expression-side evidence to supervised dimension heads before a learned gated composition layer predicts the final label. On MixD2C, a reconstructed split derived from the HART mixed-origin benchmark, our disclosed D2C-Routing-based detector system reaches 0.8603 four-way Avg TPR@1%FPR, 6.5 points above the same-split RACE-local rerun. Core ablations support the routing design, while error analysis shows that distinguishing AI-content/human-expression from fully AI-generated text remains the hardest boundary.

CLAP: Cross-Embodiment Video World Models are Zero-Shot Physical Simulators
Kechen Liu, Ola Shorinwa
State-of-the-art action-conditioned video models are typically restricted to a single robot embodiment, preventing them from leveraging the vast corpus of heterogeneous video data that contains rich signals for learning generalizable physics. To bridge this gap, we introduce CLAP, a framework for cross-embodiment action-conditioned video generation capable of being trained on diverse, internet-scale videos across human and robotic agents. CLAP is grounded in the insight that universal physical laws govern spatiotemporal dynamics regardless of the actor. However, cross-embodiment learning is non-trivial because action representations vary sharply across robot platforms and are typically absent in human videos. CLAP addresses this fundamental challenge through the following core contributions. First, CLAP reconciles disparate action spaces using end-effector poses, language instructions, and latent actions. Second, to resolve their individual limitations, CLAP introduces a curriculum-based cross-embodiment learning recipe that first learns foundational physical priors across unlabeled video data using latent actions and subsequently grounds them in end-effector action spaces for zero-shot deployment to real-world tasks. Crucially, CLAP approaches or surpasses state-of-the-art single-embodiment video models in challenging environments like DROID. These performance advantages compound via few-shot adaptation to establish a novel paradigm for training single-embodiment video world models. Ultimately, CLAP delivers the most comprehensive suite of action-conditioned video world models to date - spanning diverse action-conditioning spaces (end-effector, language, and latent) and robot morphologies (including cross-embodiment, DROID, Bridge, bimanual YAM robots, and G1 humanoids). We open-source all code and models. Project Website at https://omni-clap.github.io .

KnockGS:interaction-Grounded Calibrationof Physical Gaussian Representations
Chenchen Ge, Hanwen Shen, Bowen Jing and 6 more
Physics-integrated 3D Gaussian representations now allow reconstructed deformable objects to be simulated and rendered under explicit material models. Existing pipelines, however, assume that material parameters are known or manually specified, limiting their applicability when these parameters must be inferred from observed object dynamics. We propose KnockGS, an interaction-response PhysicalGS framework that estimates the elasticity and density scales of a 3D Gaussian object from its dynamics under a known applied force. Rather than treating physical simulation only as a forward process, we turn the force-induced response into a calibration signal: temporal response features are xtracted from the observed dynamics, the two material scales are estimated from those features, and the estimate is then frozen and written back into the same simulator so that it can be tested on an interaction it was never fitted to.We evaluate the framework on both parameter recovery and response-level fidelity. The estimated scales are compared against hidden ground truth, and the re-simulated object is measured against the target using 3D particle trajectories, response-curve statistics, and rendered-frame quality. Across five held-out material targets, our method recovers the scales substantially more accurately than response retrieval, global regression, or a fixed default material, and the frozen estimate remains predictive under interactions that differ in direction and in magnitude. Interaction response therefore carries enough information to calibrate material scales in physically grounded 3D Gaussian representations.Our study is a first step toward interactive PhysicalGS systems that calibrate a Gaussian asset whose rendered appearance and simulated response are consistent.

Boosting LLM Exploration via Weak-Model Guidance in RLVR
Xingyu Shen, Huishuai Zhang, Peng Li and 2 more
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) significantly improves LLM reasoning but often causes a drop in policy entropy, leading to narrowed reasoning coverage and degraded pass@$k$ for large $k$. While existing methods mitigate this entropy collapse through algorithmic regularizations, cross-model non-parametric perturbation is also neglected. In this work, we propose a simple yet effective approach to preserve the generative diversity of LLMs during RLVR. Instead of relying solely on internal exploration, we force the target model to generate answers based on partial reasoning trajectories generated by a smaller, weaker language models. These unfamiliar prefixes effectively disrupt over-confidence and encourage the exploration of distinct reasoning paths. We empirically study the potential of outer prefixes, revealing the mechanism of the impact of distributional discrepancy to the exploration dynamics in RLVR training. Experiments across multiple mathematical benchmarks show that our method consistently outperforms vanilla RLVR. Notably, the performance gain becomes increasingly pronounced as $k$ scales up, demonstrating a substantial expansion of reasoning coverage. Furthermore, our approach efficiently mitigates entropy collapse without requiring additional SFT, intricate reward designs, or complex prompting.

Mechanistic Reaction Prediction via Discrete Flow Matching on Graph-Structured Electron Occupation
Nguyen Xuan-Vu, Octavian Susanu, Daniel Armstrong and 1 more
Chemical reactions are fundamentally transformations in electron space, yet most machine learning approaches model them either through \textit{de novo} generation of product molecules or through heuristic graph edits that operate directly on molecular topology. We introduce MAELLE (\textbf{M}ech\textbf{A}nistic \textbf{E}dit f\textbf{L}ow-matching on e\textbf{L}ectron r\textbf{E}arrangements), which instead models reactions as discrete flow matching over electron occupation vectors. Concretely, we formulate the reactant-to-product mapping as a Continuous-time Markov Chain (CTMC) over the graph-structured integer-valued electron occupation space defined on all bonding, non-bonding, and hydrogen sites. To construct the intermediate edit trajectories, we generalize the discrete flow matching mixture path to discrete electron rearrangements using Optimal Transport, yielding a sequence of mechanistically interpretable edit moves without requiring elementary step annotations. MAELLE achieves competitive performance on the USPTO-480K benchmark compared with leading reaction prediction models. Beyond in-distribution accuracy, we evaluate robustness across two out-of-distribution settings - structural complexity and reaction type - and find that MAELLE maintains strong performance where existing methods degrade. Finally, because the learned flow operates over the full electron redistribution, MAELLE naturally recovers mechanistic trajectories that align with known chemistry and can predict side products of a reaction.
