ATPO: Adaptive Tree Policy Optimization for Multi-Turn Medical Dialogue

arXiv:2603.02216v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Effective information seeking in multi-turn medical dialogues is critical for accurate diagnosis, especially when dealing with incomplete information. Aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) for these interactive scenarios is challenging due to the uncertainty inherent in user-agent interactions, which we formulate as a Hierarchical Markov Decision Process (H-MDP). While conventional Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods like Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) struggle with long-horizon credit assignment and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) suffers from unstable value estimation in this context, we propose a novel uncertainty-aware Adaptive Tree Policy Optimization (ATPO) algorithm. Our method adaptively allocates the rollout budget to states with high uncertainty, quantified by a composite metric of Bellman error and action-value variance. This strategy enables more accurate value estimation, while fostering more efficient and diverse exploration. To mitigate the high computational cost of tree-based RL, we introduce two key optimizations: an uncertainty-guided pruning mechanism to minimize the number of rollouts, and an asynchronous search architecture that leverages KV cache reuse to maximize inference throughput. Extensive experiments on three public medical dialogue benchmarks demonstrate that our algorithm significantly outperforms several strong baselines, culminating in Qwen3-8B model surpassing the much larger GPT-4o ($+0.92\%$ accuracy).

AI-driven Large-scale Electron Microscopy enables Whole-tissue Subcellular Digitization

arXiv:2511.02860v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The distribution and interactions of cellular organelles play a critical role in mediating cellular physiology and pathology. Large-scale electron microscopy enables visualization of organelle distribution and interactions at the tissue level with nanometer resolution, but robust and efficient computational analysis tools are lacking. Here, we present a deep learning tool for universal large-scale 2D/3D electron microscopy analysis, DeepOrganelle. This new tool enables high-throughput, cell-resolved spatiotemporal mapping and digitization of organelle distribution and interactions. When applied to spermatogenesis across 12 stages and 22 differentiation status of the germ cells, DeepOrganelle uncovered previously unrecognized, stage-dependent dynamics of mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contact sites within one subphase of prophase I during meiosis. It also revealed coordinated organelle redistribution in Sertoli cells towards the blood-testis barrier, digitizing the remodeling dynamics of the tissue. This study demonstrates that DeepOrganelle provides a powerful framework that captures subcellular dynamics at the whole-tissue level.
