SciForge: An AI-Native, Multimodal Workbench for Scientific Discovery
Scientific work increasingly spans heterogeneous artifacts -- papers, code, datasets, scientific file formats, model outputs, figures, manuscripts, and team decisions -- yet general-purpose AI assistants rarely preserve these objects as a coherent, auditable research state. We present SciForge, a multimodal research-native AI workbench that reserves the graphical interface for human judgment while search, parsing, model routing, workflow execution, plotting, writing, and presentation generation run as modular agent-accessible services. SciForge is built around five pillars: (i) \emph{goal-scop
GATE-3D: Geometry-Aware Test-time Adaptive Reranking for Open-Set 3D Shape Retrieval
Large pretrained vision models have substantially improved appearance-based 3D shape retrieval, but they still confuse shapes that look similar while differing in geometry. Although geometry-aware features can reduce these errors, naive fusion of geometry and appearance may hurt retrieval when the two modalities are already well aligned. We propose GATE-3D, a lightweight query-adaptive reranking method that incorporates geometry without retraining the retrieval backbone. For each query, GATE-3D predicts how much a geometry-aware score should adjust the appearance-based ranking using features t
Embodied.cpp: A Portable Inference Runtime of Embodied AI Models on Heterogeneous Robots
Embodied AI models now span vision-language-action (VLA) models and world-action models (WAMs), but practical deployment remains fragmented across model-specific Python stacks, backend assumptions, and robot-side glue code, especially on heterogeneous edge devices. Existing inference runtimes are designed mainly for request-response serving and therefore do not satisfy the runtime contract of embodied deployment: multi-rate execution inside closed-loop control, latency-first batch-1 inference on heterogeneous hardware, and extensible embodied interfaces beyond fixed token I/O. We present Embod
CR-Refiner: An Object-Centric Optimal Transport Reranker for Edit-Conditioned 3D Scene Retrieval
Edit-conditioned 3D scene retrieval pairs a reference 3D room with a natural-language modification and retrieves rooms from a corpus that satisfy the edit. Three lines of prior work each fall short on this task. 2D composed image retrieval reasons over pixel-level edits and has no primitive for 3D object sets. 3D foundation encoders embed individual objects but cannot compose at the scene level. 3D scene-grounding methods localize references inside a static scene rather than rank modified rooms across a corpus. We present CR-Refiner, a training-free reranker that wraps any base retriever's top
