The Qwen-Audio-3.0-ASR Technical Report introduces a Mixture-of-Experts large language model-based automatic speech recognition system that addresses real‑world production challenges such as regional dialects, dynamic entities, hotwords, long‑range context, and disfluent speech. Built on the Qwen backbone and trained on tens of millions of hours of speech data, it supports transcription in 30 languages and 16 Chinese dialects, and offers industry‑domain entity recognition, hierarchical hotword customization, single‑pass polishing, and long‑audio contextual modeling. A streaming variant, Qwen-Audio-3.0-ASR-Streaming, is also presented for low‑latency applications, with evaluations showing state‑of‑the‑art performance against leading commercial systems.

The paper introduces NOMAD‑RL, a reinforcement learning controller for HVAC systems that learns to adapt across diverse thermal zones via a universal thermostat interface. It employs an adaptive domain randomization scheme using physics‑informed normalizing flows to generate realistic, multimodal training data, enabling the recurrent policy to handle partial observability. Experiments show NOMAD‑RL outperforms constant‑setpoint PID and non‑randomized RL, and rivals well‑tuned model predictive control, especially in multi‑zone scenarios.

A specialized large multimodal model, LLaVA‑NeXT, was fine‑tuned on a curated two‑level curriculum of PET/CT image‑conversation pairs to interpret head and neck cancer scans. In external validation across four institutions, the model achieved high ROUGE and similarity scores and outperformed generalist models such as ChatGPT, with primary tumor classification accuracy of 83.14% internally and 69.03% externally. The study demonstrates that domain‑specific LMMs can provide fast, accurate diagnostic support for PET/CT imaging.

The paper proposes a cross‑modal framework that uses a frozen DINOv3 optical vision foundation model to create class‑level prototypes for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) target recognition. By aligning SAR embeddings to these optical prototypes, the SAR model learns to classify SAR images without needing paired optical data. Experiments on the UNICORNv2 dataset show that this prototype alignment improves SAR classification accuracy compared to baseline methods and yields clearer class separation in the embedding space.

The paper introduces selective adaptation for vision‑language models, questioning whether test‑time adaptation (TTA) should always be applied. By analyzing per‑sample predictions before and after adaptation, the authors find that many adaptations are negligible or even harmful, flipping correct predictions. They propose Cross‑Augmentation Similarity (CAS), which skips adaptation when predictions across augmented views are highly similar, achieving comparable or better accuracy while reducing adaptation by up to 85%.

X2-NativeCursor is a lightweight observer that tracks text progress in incremental‑text streaming TTS by aligning native speech tokens to the original text before waveform decoding. It uses a normalization plan and a local matcher to estimate the current label position, converting these estimates into a non‑backtracking cursor. The method achieves a mean absolute error of 0.151 Chinese characters with 80‑ms lookahead, outperforming a waveform‑based baseline and reducing alignment real‑time factor from 0.3598 to 0.0180.

The paper demonstrates that multiple‑choice visual question answering (MC‑VQA) benchmarks are unreliable because model performance is highly sensitive to semantically neutral prompt formatting choices—such as option ID sets, delimiters, and separators—despite protocols that mitigate option‑order effects. Across seven multimodal large language models and five datasets, the authors observed frequent rank reversals when systematically varying 48 equivalent prompt formats, attributing the instability to tokenizer‑induced token fusion or removal and to how option ID sets influence attention patterns. Consequently, MC‑VQA rankings correlate weakly with open‑ended evaluation, revealing that MC‑VQA reflects option‑selection dynamics as well as multimodal reasoning.
