PaperDoctor: Evidence-Grounded and Actionable Feedback for Scientific Papers in Progress

PaperDoctor is an agent framework that provides evidence‑grounded, actionable feedback for scientific papers before submission. It evaluates writing, layout, references, code, theory, prior work, and experiments through a three‑layer hierarchical system, linking each critique to specific evidence and revision suggestions. The system selectively rebuilds and reruns experiments to uncover reproducibility gaps, and an interactive interface lets authors explore findings tied to their manuscript.

SAVTrack: Selective Vote Aggregation for Reliability-Aware Point Cloud Tracking

SAVTrack introduces a selective vote aggregation strategy for 3D single object tracking in LiDAR point clouds. By estimating the reliability of each candidate vote using local seed features and inter‑frame motion context, it removes low‑confidence hypotheses before clustering, thereby reducing noise in proposal formation. The method achieves competitive success and precision on KITTI and nuScenes while operating at 82 FPS and using fewer than one‑sixth of the votes required by dense aggregation.

NeuroSymbEAD: A Large Scale Neuro-Symbolic Caption Dataset for Omni-Directional Embodied Autonomous Driving

NeuroSymbEAD is a large‑scale neuro‑symbolic caption dataset that builds an ego‑centric knowledge graph of static and dynamic objects on the KITTI‑360 dataset, annotating classes, categories, heading directions, orientations, and distances from the ego‑vehicle. The dataset generates multilevel textual captions that serve as a lightweight representation of an ego‑centric scene map, enabling outdoor scene‑map reconstruction, visual recognition, and object grounding. Baselines for driving common sense and traffic/scene understanding are established, and the dataset is benchmarked using pre‑trained grounding and learned auto‑regressive captioning networks to support vision‑language and foundation models for traffic‑scene explanation, 3D reasoning, and interpretable autonomous‑driving perception.
