Towards Intelligent Geospatial Data Discovery: a knowledge graph-driven multi-agent framework powered by large language models

arXiv:2603.20670v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The rapid growth in the volume, variety, and velocity of geospatial data has created data ecosystems that are highly distributed, heterogeneous, and semantically inconsistent. Existing data catalogs, portals, and infrastructures still rely largely on keyword-based search with limited semantic support, which often fails to capture user intent and leads to weak retrieval performance. To address these challenges, this study proposes a knowledge graph-driven multi-agent framework for intelligent geospatial data discovery, powered by large language models. The framework introduces a unified geospatial metadata ontology as a semantic mediation layer to align heterogeneous metadata standards across platforms and constructs a geospatial metadata knowledge graph to explicitly model datasets and their multidimensional relationships. Building on the structured representation, the framework adopts a multi-agent collaborative architecture to perform intent parsing, knowledge graph retrieval, and answer synthesis, forming an interpretable and closed-loop discovery process from user queries to results. Results from representative use cases and performance evaluation show that the framework substantially improves intent matching accuracy, ranking quality, recall, and discovery transparency compared with traditional systems. This study advances geospatial data discovery toward a more semantic, intent-aware, and intelligent paradigm, providing a practical foundation for next-generation intelligent and autonomous spatial data infrastructures and contributing to the broader vision of Autonomous GIS.

ImageEdit-R1: Boosting Multi-Agent Image Editing via Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2603.08059v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With the rapid advancement of commercial multi-modal models, image editing has garnered significant attention due to its widespread applicability in daily life. Despite impressive progress, existing image editing systems, particularly closed-source or proprietary models, often struggle with complex, indirect, or multi-step user instructions. These limitations hinder their ability to perform nuanced, context-aware edits that align with human intent. In this work, we propose ImageEdit-R1, a multi-agent framework for intelligent image editing that leverages reinforcement learning to coordinate high-level decision-making across a set of specialized, pretrained vision-language and generative agents. Each agent is responsible for distinct capabilities--such as understanding user intent, identifying regions of interest, selecting appropriate editing actions, and synthesizing visual content--while reinforcement learning governs their collaboration to ensure coherent and goal-directed behavior. Unlike existing approaches that rely on monolithic models or hand-crafted pipelines, our method treats image editing as a sequential decision-making problem, enabling dynamic and context-aware editing strategies. Experimental results demonstrate that ImageEdit-R1 consistently outperforms both individual closed-source diffusion models and alternative multi-agent framework baselines across multiple image editing datasets.

MeanCache: From Instantaneous to Average Velocity for Accelerating Flow Matching Inference

arXiv:2601.19961v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present MeanCache, a training-free caching framework for efficient Flow Matching inference. Existing caching methods reduce redundant computation but typically rely on instantaneous velocity information (e.g., feature caching), which often leads to severe trajectory deviations and error accumulation under high acceleration ratios. MeanCache introduces an average-velocity perspective: by leveraging cached Jacobian--vector products (JVP) to construct interval average velocities from instantaneous velocities, it effectively mitigates local error accumulation. To further improve cache timing and JVP reuse stability, we develop a trajectory-stability scheduling strategy as a practical tool, employing a Peak-Suppressed Shortest Path under budget constraints to determine the schedule. Experiments on FLUX.1, Qwen-Image, and HunyuanVideo demonstrate that MeanCache achieves 4.12X and 4.56X and 3.59X acceleration, respectively, while consistently outperforming state-of-the-art caching baselines in generation quality. We believe this simple yet effective approach provides a new perspective for Flow Matching inference and will inspire further exploration of stability-driven acceleration in commercial-scale generative models.

OmniVideoBench: Towards Audio-Visual Understanding Evaluation for Omni MLLMs

arXiv:2510.10689v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated substantial potential in video understanding. However, existing benchmarks fail to comprehensively evaluate synergistic reasoning capabilities across audio and visual modalities, often neglecting either one of the modalities or integrating them in a logically inconsistent manner. To bridge this gap, we introduce OmniVideoBench, a large-scale and rigorously designed benchmark dedicated to assessing synergistic audio-visual understanding, with a strong emphasis on modality complementarity and logical consistency. Specifically, OmniVideoBench comprises 1000 high-quality question-answer(QA) pairs, each annotated with step-by-step reasoning traces, derived from 628 diverse videos ranging from several seconds to 30 minutes, and manually verified to guarantee complete correctness and uniqueness. Moreover, OmniVideoBench encompasses 13 carefully designed question types, covering temporal reasoning, spatial localization, counting, causal inference, summarization, and beyond, thereby capturing the essential challenges of video understanding. Evaluation of multiple MLLMs on OmniVideoBench reveals a pronounced gap between model performance and human reasoning, with open-source models lagging significantly behind their closed-source counterparts, underscoring the inherent difficulty of genuine audio-visual reasoning. We will release OmniVideoBench to foster the development of MLLMs with stronger and more generalizable reasoning capabilities.
