TerraMARS is an end-to-end pipeline that uses a domain-adapted small language model to extract structured information from Mars science literature. It converts unstructured text into JSON format and supports Mars terraforming-related question answering, enabling integration into habitability modeling and digital twin applications. The pipeline uses Google Gemma 3 1B fine-tuned with QLoRA on Mars-specific datasets, though further work is needed to improve accuracy and factual consistency.

DataMagic Turns Tabular Data into Interactive Insight Videos
DataMagic transforms raw tabular data and natural language queries into narrative data-insight videos. It uses DVSpec to ensure data fidelity by linking visual elements to data fields via semantic references, and employs a multi-agent architecture to generate and orchestrate coherent video scenes. The system supports interactive exploration and provenance-based data Q&A, enabling users to engage with data beyond static views.
LedgerAgent: Structured State for Policy-Adherent Tool-Calling Agents
LedgerAgent introduces a structured ledger to maintain task states separately in tool-calling agents. It renders states into prompts and enforces policy constraints before tool execution, reducing policy violations and improving performance across customer-service domains.

Dual-Agent Framework for Cross-Model Verified Translation
A dual-agent framework converts natural-language experiment protocols into executable commands for robotic lab platforms. It uses a Parser Agent and a rule-based mapping engine to translate protocols, with a heterogeneous LLM Validation Agent ensuring accuracy and triggering self-correction. The framework successfully enables end-to-end autonomous execution of microplate-based experiments like the Bradford assay.
Finetuning VLA Models Requires Fewer Layers Than Thought
Vision-Language-Action models show severe layer-wise redundancy despite large parameter counts. A training-free compression method using Centered Kernel Alignment removes twin layers, reducing model depth by up to 50% and enabling 40-50% faster training and up to 30% faster inference without performance loss, validated across simulation and real-world robotic tasks.
