arXiv:2601.10457v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Although the Gradient Boosted Decision Trees (GBDTs) dominate industrial tabular applications, upgrading legacy models in high-concurrency production environments still faces prohibitive retraining costs and systemic risks. To address this problem, we present NSR-Boost, a neuro-symbolic residual boosting framework designed specifically for industrial scenarios. Its core advantage lies in being ``non-intrusive''. It treats the legacy model as a frozen model and performs targeted repairs on "hard regions" where predictions fail. The framework comprises three key stages: First, finding hard regions through residuals, then generating interpretable experts by generating symbolic code structures using Large Language Model (LLM) and fine-tuning parameters using Bayesian optimization, and finally dynamically integrating experts with legacy model output through a lightweight aggregator. Experimental results demonstrate that the framework significantly outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) baselines across six public datasets and one private dataset. More importantly, we report the successful deployment of NSR-Boost within the core financial risk control system of Qfin Holdings, where empirical results on real-world online traffic exhibit superior performance improvements and a significant reduction in the bad rate. In conclusion, it effectively captures long-tail risks missed by traditional models and offers a safe, low-cost evolutionary paradigm for industry.

arXiv:2601.00150v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: FCMBench is the first large-scale and privacy-compliant multimodal benchmark for real-world financial credit applications, covering tasks and robustness challenges from domain specific workflows and constraints. The current version of FCMBench covers 26 certificate types, with 5198 privacy-compliant images and 13806 paired VQA samples. It evaluates models on Perception and Reasoning tasks under real-world Robustness interferences, including 3 foundational perception tasks, 4 credit-specific reasoning tasks demanding decision-oriented visual evidence interpretation, and 10 real-world challenges for rigorous robustness stress testing. Moreover, FCMBench offers privacy-compliant realism with minimal leakage risk through in-house scenario-aware captures of manually synthesized templates, without any publicly released images. We conduct extensive evaluations of 28 state-of-the-art vision-language models spanning 14 AI companies and research institutes. Among them, Gemini 3 Pro achieves the best F1 score as a commercial model (65.16), Kimi-K2.5 achieves the best score as an open-source baseline (60.58). The mean and the std. of all tested models is 44.8 and 10.3 respectively, indicating that FCMBench is non-trivial and provides strong resolution for separating modern vision-language model capabilities. Robustness evaluations reveal that even top-performing models experience notable performance degradation under the designed challenges. We have open-sourced this benchmark to advance AI research in the credit domain and provide a domain-specific task for real-world AI applications.
