Medical image foundation models can predict clinical phenotypes from computed tomography (CT), but strong performance leaves open whether they read disease-specific findings or shortcuts that correlate with the diagnosis. We tested this in 221 electronic-health-record (EHR) phenotypes using Auditable CT phenotyping (ACT), built on report-derived radiological observations. We trained ACT on 38,317 patients, mined 376,194 observations and evaluated it in 25,183 held-out patients. ACT exceeded five vision-language baselines on zero-shot annotation, and CT-CLIP across 221 phenotypes from unseen CT pulmonary angiography, both under zero-shot scoring (0.651 versus 0.572) and under linear probing (0.709 versus 0.662). Reading each probe exposes what accuracy conceals: only 97 observations occupy the 221 rank-1 positions, and one phrase describing aortic and coronary calcification ranks first for 20 phenotypes, including osteoporosis, urinary tract infection and major depressive disorder. Restricting the bank to clinician-specified evidence redirects those probes onto phenotype-related observations in 86 phenotypes at no accuracy cost (0.751 versus 0.741). Accurate CT-based EHR phenotyping can therefore rest on observations that are not valid evidence for the coded phenotype and that ACT can identify and intervene on.

Traffic Anomaly Understanding (TAU) requires models and systems to detect, reason about, and explain anomalous events in transportation videos. To address this challenge, we propose TAU-Agent, an agentic retrieval-augmented framework for traffic anomaly understanding. Given a task query, a central retrieval agent orchestrates two visual perception tools, namely a Video Captioning Tool and an Open-Vocabulary Tracking Tool, to retrieve and select query-relevant evidence, including captions, temporal intervals, and object trajectories. The selected evidence, together with sampled video frames and the input query, is provided to a supervised fine-tuned vision-language model for final reasoning and answer generation. We evaluate TAU-Agent on both the in-domain and the out-of-domain benchmarks from the AI City Challenge 2026. TAU-Agent achieves scores of 0.6779 on Track 3, 0.3998 on Track 7, and 67.9275 on Track 8, ranking second, twelfth, and fifth, respectively.

Generative world models for autonomous driving (AD) are of great value in applications such as data augmentation, closed-loop simulation, and safety-critical scenario evaluation. Unlike the widely studied image modality, in this work we explore generative world models for LiDAR data. Existing generation methods for LiDAR predominantly focus on single frame generation or lack the capacity for interactive simulation, while existing prediction approaches require multiple frames of historical input and can only deterministically predict multiple frames at once. Both paradigms fail to support long-horizon interactive generation. To this end, we introduce \textbf{LaGen}, which, to the best of our knowledge is the first autoregressive framework capable of generating long-horizon LiDAR scenes in a frame-by-frame, interactive manner. LaGen is able to take a single-frame input as a starting point and effectively utilize bounding box information as conditions to generate high-fidelity 4D scene. In addition, we introduce a scene decoupling estimation module to enhance the model's interactive generation capability for object-level content, as well as a noise modulation module to mitigate error accumulation during long-horizon generation. We extensively evaluate LaGen's performance in controlled data generation and long-horizon scene generation on the nuScenes dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that LaGen achieves state-of-the-art performance, especially on later frames. The code is publicly available at: https://github.com/szzhou88/LaGen.

The emergence of 3D Gaussian Splatting has fundamentally redefined the capabilities of photorealistic neural rendering by enabling high-throughput synthesis of complex environments. While procedural methods like Wang Tiles have recently been integrated to facilitate the generation of expansive landscapes, these systems typically remain constrained by a reliance on densely sampled exemplar reconstructions. We present DAV-GSWT, a data-efficient framework that leverages diffusion priors and active view sampling to synthesize high-fidelity Gaussian Splatting Wang Tiles from minimal input observations. By integrating a hierarchical uncertainty quantification mechanism with generative diffusion models, our approach autonomously identifies the most informative viewpoints while hallucinating missing structural details to ensure seamless tile transitions. Experimental results indicate that our system significantly reduces the required data volume while maintaining the visual integrity and interactive performance necessary for large-scale virtual environments.

*Chulin Zhao and Ruoqi Hu contributed equally to this work. State-of-the-art text-to-image (T2I) models exhibit pronounced and systematic defects when prompts involve intricate compositional factors such as multiple entities and multiple attributes. In this paper, we investigate how humans identify such defects. Specifically, we manually select 651 reference images from the four categories of people, hand, object, and scene that exhibit complex compositional characteristics, from which prompts emphasizing compositional factors are derived by manually editing ChatGPT-generated prompts. We then feed the prompts into three selected T2I models to generate AI images and conduct a comprehensive subjective study to identify their defects. For each image, 29 participants provide multi-label assessments specifying defect types and locations. The study yields the compositional AI-generated image defect (CO-AID) dataset, including reference images, prompts, AI-generated images, and information on defect locations and types. Experimental results show that training a deep model on CO-AID can both predict defects in AI-generated images and optimize AI image generation, demonstrating its usability and effectiveness.
