Rule-VLN: Bridging Perception and Compliance via Semantic Reasoning and Geometric Rectification
As embodied AI transitions to real-world deployment, the success of the Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) task tends to evolve from mere reachability to social compliance. However, current agents suffer from a "goal-driven trap", prioritizing physical geometry ("can I go?") over semantic rules ("may I go?"), frequently overlooking subtle regulatory constraints. To bridge this gap, we establish Rule-VLN, the first large-scale urban benchmark for rule-compliant navigation. Spanning a massive 29k-node environment, it injects 177 diverse regulatory categories into 8k constrained nodes across four curriculum levels, challenging agents with fine-grained visual and behavioral constraints. We further propose the Semantic Navigation Rectification Module (SNRM), a universal, zero-shot module designed to equip pre-trained agents with safety awareness. SNRM integrates a coarse-to-fine visual perception VLM framework with an epistemic mental map for dynamic detour planning. Experiments demonstrate that while Rule-VLN challenges state-of-the-art models, SNRM significantly restores navigation capabilities, reducing CVR by 19.26% and boosting TC by 5.97%.
OmniReview: A Large-scale Benchmark and LLM-enhanced Framework for Realistic Reviewer Recommendation
Academic peer review remains the cornerstone of scholarly validation, yet the field faces some challenges in data and methods. From the data perspective, existing research is hindered by the scarcity of large-scale, verified benchmarks and oversimplified evaluation metrics that fail to reflect real-world editorial workflows. To bridge this gap, we present OmniReview, a comprehensive dataset constructed by integrating multi-source academic platforms encompassing comprehensive scholarly profiles through the disambiguation pipeline, yielding 202, 756 verified review records. Based on this data, we introduce a three-tier hierarchical evaluaion framework to assess recommendations from recall to precise expert identification. From the method perspective, existing embedding-based approaches suffer from the information bottleneck of semantic compression and limited interpretability. To resolve these method limitations, we propose Profiling Scholars with Multi-gate Mixture-of-Experts (Pro-MMoE), a novel framework that synergizes Large Language Models (LLMs) with Multi-task Learning. Specifically, it utilizes LLM-generated semantic profiles to preserve fine-grained expertise nuances and interpretability, while employing a Task-Adaptive MMoE architecture to dynamically balance conflicting evaluation goals. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that Pro-MMoE achieves state-of-the-art performance across six of seven metrics, establishing a new benchmark for realistic reviewer recommendation.
