RODR: Riemannian Orthogonally Decoupled Regularization for Disentangled Manifold Representation2607.23958AuthorsJiayu Zhu,Wenlai ZhaoAbstractPoint cloud denoising is essentially a geometric recovery task that aims to reconstruct the intrinsic structure of a smooth 2D Riemannian manifold embedded in R^3 from noisy, discrete ambient-space samples. Despite the remarkable progress of modern manifold-aware encoders and generative transport models in geometric representation learning, a fundamental objective-geometry mismatch remains underexplored. Theoretically, we identified that this mismatched coupling leads to geometric gradient interference, where conflicting optimization objectives result in structural degradation and point clustering. We introduce Riemannian Orthogonally Decoupled Regularization (RODR) to reformulate the optimization trajectory by disentangling the normal (fitting) and tangential (distribution) components. Guided by a vector-attention and entropy-aware adaptive strategy, RODR effectively preserves high-fidelity geometric details while maintaining sampling uniformity. Experiments demonstrate that RODR reaches performance comparable to state-of-the-art baselines and suggests improved distribution regularity and reduced local aggregation effectively. Our work establishes a generic and interpretable framework for disentangled geometric optimization in point cloud processing.ResourcesView on Hugging FaceRead PDFArXiv

ResearchLearning When to Trust via Selective Context Preference Optimization
Language models increasingly condition their answers on external signals, and a single misleading one can turn a correct answer wrong. The obvious remedy, training models to resist such signals, hides a failure mode: a model that ignores all context looks robust yet is useless when the context is worth trusting. We recast the problem as selective trust and introduce MIST, a human-annotated benchmark that renders each reasoning item under four matched conditions (clean, misleading, correct-context, and irrelevant-context), together with SC2W, a paired metric counting how often a misle

ResearchTracing the Heart: An Evidence-Linked Pipeline for Heart-Failure Feature Engineering
Electronic health record (EHR) feature engineering is a major bottleneck in clinical research and AI, accounting for 39-45% of data scientists' workload. This is especially pronounced in heart failure, which affects an estimated 6.7 million U.S. adults and requires integrating fragmented EHR data with disease-specific, guideline-based clinical reasoning. Existing rule-based and large language model (LLM)-based approaches offer only partial automation with limited maintainability and evidence traceability. We developed the Nimblemind Multi-Agent System (nMAS), an evidence-linked, rubr
