City Editing: Hierarchical Agentic Execution for Dependency-Aware Urban Geospatial Modification

arXiv:2602.19326v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Urban renewal requires incremental modifications to existing geospatial plans, yet manually updating complex layouts under spatial constraints is labor-intensive and error-prone. To tackle this, we propose CEAE, a hierarchical agentic framework that formulates urban renewal as machine-executable GeoJSON editing from natural-language instructions. CEAE decomposes instructions into hierarchical geometric intents, executing edits from coarse to fine while preserving spatial consistency through a self-reflective execution-validation loop. Experimental results show that CEAE outperforms baselines in execution validity, robustness, and geometric accuracy.

City Editing: Hierarchical Agentic Execution for Dependency-Aware Urban Geospatial Modification

arXiv:2602.19326v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As cities evolve over time, challenges such as traffic congestion and functional imbalance increasingly necessitate urban renewal through efficient modification of existing plans, rather than complete re-planning. In practice, even minor urban changes require substantial manual effort to redraw geospatial layouts, slowing the iterative planning and decision-making procedure. Motivated by recent advances in agentic systems and multimodal reasoning, we formulate urban renewal as a machine-executable task that iteratively modifies existing urban plans represented in structured geospatial formats. More specifically, we represent urban layouts using GeoJSON and decompose natural-language editing instructions into hierarchical geometric intents spanning polygon-, line-, and point-level operations. To coordinate interdependent edits across spatial elements and abstraction levels, we propose a hierarchical agentic framework that jointly performs multi-level planning and execution with explicit propagation of intermediate spatial constraints. We further introduce an iterative execution-validation mechanism that mitigates error accumulation and enforces global spatial consistency during multi-step editing. Extensive experiments across diverse urban editing scenarios demonstrate significant improvements in efficiency, robustness, correctness, and spatial validity over existing baselines.

On Predictability of Reinforcement Learning Dynamics for Large Language Models

arXiv:2510.00553v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) are largely driven by reinforcement learning (RL), yet the underlying parameter dynamics during RL training remain poorly understood. This work identifies two fundamental properties of RL-induced parameter updates in LLMs: (1) Rank-1 Dominance, where the top singular subspace of the parameter update matrix nearly fully determines reasoning improvements, recovering over 99\% of performance gains; and (2) Rank-1 Linear Dynamics, where this dominant subspace evolves linearly throughout training, enabling accurate prediction from early checkpoints. Extensive experiments across 8 LLMs and 7 algorithms validate the generalizability of these properties. More importantly, based on these findings, we propose AlphaRL, a plug-in acceleration framework that extrapolates the final parameter update using a short early training window, achieving up to 2.5 speedup while retaining \textgreater 96\% of reasoning performance without extra modules or hyperparameter tuning. This positions our finding as a versatile and practical tool for large-scale RL, opening a path toward principled, interpretable, and efficient training paradigm for LLMs.
