arXiv:2605.23984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial anomaly detection has attracted significant attention as a fundamental challenge in industrial systems. The rapid advancement of heterogeneous industrial sensors has driven industrial anomaly detection from unimodal to multimodal paradigms. However, existing methods are primarily designed for centralized and offline settings, overlooking the distributed and continuously generated data characteristic of real-world industrial environments. With the advancement of edge intelligence, modern edge devices are increasingly capable of not only data acquisition but also distributed model training, enabling collaborative intelligence across the system. Industrial anomaly detection represents a critical application in this context. Motivated by these challenges, we propose a novel framework termed Multimodal Online Distributed Industrial Anomaly Detection (MODIAD). We first present a comprehensive workflow for MODIAD and then formulate a Multi-class Intelligent Scheduling (MIS) problem to coordinate cross class model updates by balancing data sufficiency and class update frequency. To efficiently solve this problem, we design a Sequential Marginal Gain Greedy (SMG) algorithm that enables effective multi-class training under resource constraints. Furthermore, to improve the computational and communication efficiency during training, we propose an Resource Efficient Class-Wise Low Rank Adaptation (REC-LoRA) strategy, which significantly reduces system overhead while preserving detection performance. Extensive experiments on two representative multimodal industrial anomaly detection datasets, MVTec 3D-AD and Eyecandies demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves superior performance and efficiency under the MODIAD scenario.

arXiv:2605.25518v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Breast ultrasound imaging is an important noninvasive method for early breast cancer diagnosis, but automatic benign/malignant classification remains challenging due to tumor heterogeneity, blurred boundaries, and data imbalance. To improve feature representation and classification accuracy, this paper proposes the Cross-Stage Attention Mixture-of-Experts Network (CSA-MoE-Net). It adopts a Cross-Stage Attention-enhanced ResNet-18 as the backbone, in which the Cross-Stage Attention module adaptively recalibrates multi-level features, thereby enhancing key tumor features and suppressing redundancy. A three-branch Mixture of Experts (MoE) Block learns complementary features from the Whole Tumor Image, Tumor Core, and Boundary, and an Adaptive Gating Network fuses them to capture morphological, textural, and contextual information. The fused features are denoted as Fused Expert Feature (FEF) in the architecture. Experiments on a balanced dataset of 2,129 breast ultrasound images show that, averaged over 20 independent runs, the model achieves an accuracy of 96.33\%, precision of 94.09\%, recall of 98.53\%, F1-score of 96.25\%, and AUC of 99.50\%. Compared to the baseline ResNet-18, these metrics improve by 3.01, 0.70, 5.37, 2.98, and 5.42 percentage points, respectively. The proposed mechanism requires no invasive modification and can be seamlessly embedded into VGG-16, DenseNet-121, etc., yielding stable performance gains, thus providing reliable support for computer-aided diagnosis.

arXiv:2602.18640v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern large-scale ranking systems operate within a sophisticated landscape of competing objectives, operational constraints, and evolving product requirements. Progress in this domain is increasingly bottlenecked by the engineering context constraint: the arduous process of translating ambiguous product intent into reasonable, executable, verifiable hypotheses, rather than by modeling techniques alone. We present GEARS (Generative Engine for Agentic Ranking Systems), a framework that reframes ranking optimization as an autonomous discovery process within a programmable experimentation environment. Rather than treating optimization as static model selection, GEARS leverages Specialized Agent Skills to encapsulate ranking expert knowledge into reusable reasoning capabilities, enabling operators to steer systems via high-level intent vibe personalization. Furthermore, to ensure production reliability, the framework incorporates validation hooks to enforce statistical robustness and filter out brittle policies that overfit short-term signals. Experimental validation across diverse product surfaces demonstrates that GEARS consistently identifies superior, near-Pareto-efficient policies by synergizing algorithmic signals with deep ranking context while maintaining rigorous deployment stability.

arXiv:2603.07909v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate intraoperative navigation is essential for robot-assisted endoluminal intervention, but remains difficult because of limited endoscopic field of view and dynamic artifacts. Existing navigation platforms often rely on external localization technologies, such as electromagnetic tracking or shape sensing, which increase hardware complexity and remain vulnerable to intraoperative anatomical mismatch. We present a vision-only autonomy framework that performs long-horizon bronchoscopic navigation using preoperative CT-derived virtual targets and live endoscopic video, without external tracking during navigation. The framework uses hierarchical long-short agents: a short-term reactive agent for continuous low-latency motion control, and a long-term strategic agent for decision support at anatomically ambiguous points. When their recommendations conflict, a world-model critic predicts future visual states for candidate actions and selects the action whose predicted state best matches the target view. We evaluated the system in a high-fidelity airway phantom, three ex vivo porcine lungs, and a live porcine model. The system reached all planned segmental targets in the phantom, maintained 80\% success to the eighth generation ex vivo, and achieved in vivo navigation performance comparable to the expert bronchoscopist. These results support the preclinical feasibility of sensor-free autonomous bronchoscopic navigation.

arXiv:2603.08324v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robot-assisted endoluminal procedures are increasingly used for early cancer intervention. However, the intricate, narrow and tortuous pathways within the luminal anatomy pose substantial difficulties for robot navigation. Vision-based navigation offers a promising solution, but existing localization approaches are error-prone due to tissue deformation, in vivo artifacts and a lack of distinctive landmarks for consistent localization. This paper presents a novel EndoSERV localization method to address these challenges. It includes two main parts, \textit{i.e.}, \textbf{SE}gment-to-structure and \textbf{R}eal-to-\textbf{V}irtual mapping, and hence the name. For long-range and complex luminal structures, we divide them into smaller sub-segments and estimate the odometry independently. To cater for label insufficiency, an efficient transfer technique maps real image features to the virtual domain to use virtual pose ground truth. The training phases of EndoSERV include an offline pretraining to extract texture-agnostic features, and an online phase that adapts to real-world conditions. Extensive experiments based on both public and clinical datasets have been performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method even without any real pose labels.
