Evaluating the Search Agent in a Parallel World

To overcome the limitations of existing benchmarks for evaluating Search Agents—such as high construction costs, dynamic obsolescence, attribution ambiguity, and reproducibility issues—this paper introduces Mind-ParaWorld, a novel framework that simulates a parallel world with synthetic, time-shifted scenarios and atomic facts to rigorously assess agents' evidence collection, synthesis, and stopping decisions.

DSA-SRGS: Super-Resolution Gaussian Splatting for Dynamic Sparse-View DSA Reconstruction

This paper proposes DSA-SRGS, the first super-resolution Gaussian splatting framework for dynamic sparse-view DSA reconstruction, which integrates a Multi-Fidelity Texture Learning Module with confidence-aware supervision and Radiative Sub-Pixel Densification to recover fine-grained vascular details while avoiding blurring and hallucination artifacts.

MADCrowner: Margin Aware Dental Crown Design with Template Deformation and Refinement

The paper proposes MADCrowner, a margin-aware framework that combines a template deformation network (CrownDeformR) with a novel margin segmentation network (CrownSegger) to automatically generate high-precision, clinically feasible dental crowns by addressing limitations in spatial resolution and surface overextension found in existing learning-based methods.

Beyond Linear LLM Invocation: An Efficient and Effective Semantic Filter Paradigm

This paper proposes Clustering-Sampling-Voting (CSV), a novel framework that significantly reduces the linear latency and token costs of semantic filtering in large language models by embedding tuples into semantic clusters, sampling subsets for evaluation, and inferring cluster-level labels through voting strategies, thereby achieving sublinear complexity with strong error guarantees.

Guiding Diffusion-based Reconstruction with Contrastive Signals for Balanced Visual Representation

This paper proposes Diffusion Contrastive Reconstruction (DCR), a method that injects contrastive signals derived from reconstructed images into the diffusion process to resolve gradient conflicts and jointly optimize both discriminative and detail-perceptive abilities, thereby overcoming the limitations of CLIP's visual encoder for balanced visual representation.
