Existing Transformer-based RGBT trackers achieve remarkable performance benefits by leveraging self-attention to extract uni-modal features and cross-attention to enhance multi-modal feature interaction and search-template correlation. Nevertheless, the independent search-template correlation calculations are prone to be affected by low-quality data, which might result in contradictory and ambiguous correlation weights. It not only limits the intra-modal feature representation, but also harms the robustness of cross-attention for multi-modal feature interaction and search-template correlation computation. To address these issues, we propose a novel approach called Cross-modulated Attention Transformer (CAFormer), which innovatively integrates inter-modality interaction into the search-template correlation computation within typical attention mechanism, for RGBT tracking. In particular, we first independently generate correlation maps for each modality and feed them into the designed correlation modulated enhancement module, which can modify inaccurate correlation weights by seeking the consensus between modalities. Such kind of design unifies self-attention and cross-attention schemes, which not only alleviates inaccurate attention weight computation in self-attention but also eliminates redundant computation introduced by extra cross-attention scheme. In addition, we design a collaborative token elimination strategy to further improve tracking inference efficiency and accuracy. Extensive experiments on five public RGBT tracking benchmarks show the outstanding performance of the proposed CAFormer against state-of-the-art methods. We will release the code upon acceptance.

Predicting roll call votes through modeling political actors has emerged as a focus in quantitative political science and computer science. Widely used embedding-based methods generate vectors for legislators from diverse data sets to predict legislative behaviors. However, these methods often contend with challenges such as the need for manually predefined features, reliance on extensive training data, and a lack of interpretability. Achieving more interpretable predictions under flexible conditions remains an unresolved issue. This paper introduces the Political Actor Agent (PAA), a novel agent-based framework that utilizes Large Language Models to overcome these limitations. By employing role-playing architectures and simulating legislative system, PAA provides a scalable and interpretable paradigm for predicting roll-call votes. Our approach not only enhances the accuracy of predictions but also offers multi-view, human-understandable decision reasoning, providing new insights into political actor behaviors. We conducted comprehensive experiments using voting records from the 117-118th U.S. House of Representatives, validating the superior performance and interpretability of PAA. This study not only demonstrates PAA's effectiveness but also its potential in political science research.

Political Actor Agent: Simulating Legislative System for Roll Call Votes Prediction with Large Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success and have been applied across various scientific fields, including chemistry. However, many chemical tasks require the processing of visual information, which cannot be successfully handled by existing chemical LLMs. This brings a growing need for models capable of integrating multimodal information in the chemical domain. In this paper, we introduce ChemVLM, an open-source chemical multimodal large language model specifically designed for chemical applications. ChemVLM is trained on a carefully curated bilingual multimodal dataset that enhances its ability to understand both textual and visual chemical information, including molecular structures, reactions, and chemistry examination questions. We develop three datasets for comprehensive evaluation, tailored to Chemical Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Multimodal Chemical Reasoning (MMCR), and Multimodal Molecule Understanding tasks. We benchmark ChemVLM against a range of open-source and proprietary multimodal large language models on various tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that ChemVLM achieves competitive performance across all evaluated tasks.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been playing a dominant role in computer vision. However, the existing approaches of using local window modeling in popular CNNs lack flexibility and hinder their ability to capture long-range dependencies of objects in an image. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel CNN architecture, termed  Dynamic Clustering Convolutional Neural Network (DCCNeXt). The proposed DCCNeXt takes a unique approach by employing global clustering to group image patches with similar semantics into clusters that are then convolved using the shared convolution kernels. To address the high computational complexity of global clustering,  the feature vectors from each patch's subspace are extracted for efficient clustering, which makes the proposed model widely compatible with the downstream vision tasks. The extensive experiments of image classification, object detection, instance segmentation, and semantic segmentation on the benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed  DCCNeXt outperforms the mainstream Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Vision Transformers (ViTs), Vision Multi-layer Perceptrons (MLPs), Vision Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), and Vision Mambas. We anticipate that this study will provide a new perspective and a promising avenue for the design of convolutional neural networks.

Mathematical reasoning ability objectively reflects a language model's understanding of implicit knowledge in contexts, with logic being a prerequisite for exploring, articulating and establishing effective reasoning. Large language models (LLMs) have shown great potential in complex reasoning tasks represented by mathematical reasoning. However, existing mathematical datasets either focus on commonsense reasoning, assessing the model's knowledge application ability, or arithmetic problems with fixed calculation rules, evaluating the model's rapid learning capability. There is a lack of datasets that require solving problems solely through logical reasoning. As a result, the performance of LLMs in accurately understanding the implicit logical relationships in problems and deriving conclusions based solely on given conditions is hindered. To address this challenge, we construct a dataset specifically for multiple step reasoning tasks: Reasoning-Math (RMath). This dataset focuses on evaluating logical reasoning abilities with mathematical reasoning problems, covering typical problem types, including direct reasoning problems, hypothetical reasoning problems, and nested reasoning problems. Additionally, we design a standardized annotation scheme that transforms natural language descriptions of conditions into formal propositions. Other annotation contents include problem categories, proposition truth values, and proposition relationship types. This not only reduces biases caused by semantic misunderstandings during problem-solving, but also facilitates the incorporation of theoretically grounded logical reasoning methods to enhance reasoning abilities. Furthermore, we propose a normalization problem-solving framework based on propositional logic for RMath and design the problem-solving process for prompt tuning to guide LLMs to absorb mathematical logical theories and improving reasoning abilities. Finally, we evaluate RMath on several popular LLMs and present the corresponding results.

Recent development in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have achieved superior performance and generalization capabilities, covered extensive areas of traditional tasks. However, existing large model training frameworks support only a limited number of models and techniques, particularly lacking in support for new models, which makes fine-tuning LLMs challenging for most developers. Therefore, we develop SWIFT, a customizable one-stop infrastructure for large models. With support of over 350+ LLMs and 80+ MLLMs, SWIFT stands as the open-source framework that provide the most comprehensive support for fine-tuning large models. In particular, it is the first training framework that provides systematic support for MLLMs. Moreover, SWIFT integrates post-training processes such as inference, evaluation, and quantization, to facilitate fast adoptions of large models in various application scenarios, offering helpful utilities like benchmark comparisons among different training techniques.

Every pharmaceutical product must be accompanied by a comprehensive label that delineates its indications, usage, dosages, and side effects, essential for safe medication practices. Traditionally, creating drug labels is labor-intensive and dependent on manual quality checks. Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a promising avenue to streamline this process. In this paper we introduce ClinicalRAG, an automated labeling quality control pipeline that integrates LLM with hierarchical Retrieval Augmented Generation that allows to cross-check every statement in the drug label document. ClinicalRAG enhances the reliability of automated drug labeling by systematically reducing hallucination risks, achieving an accuracy of 96.1% in internal validation. With user-friendly interface, our pipeline aims to support pharmaceutical company in drug approval and expedite patients' access to new treatments.

Fake audios, videos, and images are now proliferating widely. We developed GODDS, the Global Online Deepfake Detection system, for a specific user community, namely journalists. GODDS leverages an ensemble of deepfake detectors, along with a human in the loop, to provide a deepfake report on each submitted video/image/audio or VIA artifact submitted to the system. To date, VIA artifacts submitted by over 50 journalists from outlets such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Agence France Press, and others have been run through GODDS. Unlike other deepfake detection systems, GODDS doesn't just focus on the submitted artifact but automatically derives context about the subject of the VIA artifact. Because context is not always available on all subjects, GODDS focuses on alleged deepfakes of high profile individuals, organizations, and events, where there is likely to be considerable contextual information.
