ChLogic: Testing Logical Reasoning Robustness in Chinese Expressions

ChLogic evaluates how well large language models maintain logical reasoning when English logical structures are expressed in Chinese. It reveals a persistent English-Chinese performance gap, with back-translation improving results on general items but harming performance on difficult problems. The benchmark highlights the impact of surface realization, translation artifacts, and model-specific behaviors on multilingual reasoning.

ContextRL: Context-Aware RL for LLMs

ContextRL introduces an indirect auxiliary objective to improve long-horizon reasoning and multimodal performance in LLMs. It rewards models for selecting the context that supports a query-answer pair, using contrastive context data from coding agent trajectories and image-based visual questions. ContextRL achieves +2.2% and +1.8% gains over standard methods on long-horizon and visual QA benchmarks, with gains attributed to the selection objective, not data augmentation.

BinTrack: Open-Source Spatial QA with Binary Trajectory Search

BinTrack is a fully open-source spatial question answering agent that uses binary search over a robot's trajectory to locate answers. It achieves up to 22.8% higher accuracy than other open-source methods and matches closed-source model performance on the most challenging global category of the SpaceLocQA benchmark. The system also offers over 1.5x faster inference and introduces GangnamLoop, a real-world outdoor benchmark collected with a quadruped robot.

CrossMaps: Confidence-Aware Semantic Mapping for Rover Navigation

CrossMaps is a real-time, confidence-aware semantic mapping pipeline that uses RGB-D data to create language-queryable maps. It integrates multi-scale CLIP embeddings with a dual-memory architecture—Short-Term and Long-Term Memory—to aggregate visual observations and promote coherent, confident cells as persistent semantic landmarks. The system enables natural language queries to guide rover navigation via semantic heatmaps.

Multi-Center Benchmark for Abdominal Disease Diagnosis from Non-Contrast CT

A new multi-center benchmark enables abdominal disease diagnosis and report generation from non-contrast CT by synthesizing contrast-enhanced findings. The dataset includes paired NCCT-CECT studies and reports from two centers, showing NCCT achieves average multi-organ AUCs of 69.1% internally and 63.1% externally. The benchmark and code are publicly released to support research into safer, contrast-free abdominal imaging workflows.

Filtered Conformal Ellipsoids for Graph-Native Time Series

A new method called filtered conformal ellipsoids provides prediction sets for multivariate time series by using a frozen state-space filter to generate predictive means and covariances, then applying split-conformal calibration to Mahalanobis scores. The approach achieves coverage under dependence through contraction in an observable predictive-law quotient, with theoretical bounds derived under Gaussian-projection and observability conditions, and shows sharper ellipsoids on graph-native traffic benchmarks compared to static and non-filter baselines.
