Before an intelligent system can decide whether an action is allowed, it must first know which rules the action has approached. A single proposed action can implicate several policy regimes at once. Their requirements may stack, overlap, or qualify one another, yet many remain written in natural language while the action itself arrives as an incomplete description of intent. The first problem is not judgment. It is attention. Policy-centroid routing creates a layer before adjudication. It compresses expressions within each policy regime into one or more representative centroids, places the proposed action in the same semantic space, applies a declared measure, and routes every regime crossing a declared threshold to authoritative review. Several regimes may trigger at once. The output is a review agenda, not permission, prohibition, legality, breach, compliance, certification, or enforcement. The paper develops six falsifiable propositions and seven follow-on studies comparing the hypothesis with structured workflows, lexical and semantic retrieval, hierarchical and direct classification, and selective prediction under matched review burden. The studies are designed to identify where policy geometry recovers applicable regimes, where compression loses rare or overlapping obligations, and where the mechanism should abstain. The paper includes a synthetic worked example and reports no empirical efficacy result.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation over knowledge graphs (Graph-RAG) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for grounding large language models in domain-specific corpora. However, existing systems face persistent limitations: (1) static chunking fragments long documents, losing cross-section semantic connections; (2) ingestion pipelines do not scale adaptively; and (3) multi-domain deployments require either a monolithic knowledge base that dilutes retrieval precision or manual user routing. We present Noesis, a decoupled Graph-RAG architecture addressing these limitations through four algorithms: (a) Bidirectional Graph Traversal with a Graph-Feedback Context Resolver simulating human reading with degrading memory; (b) an AIMD Concurrency Controller adapted from TCP congestion control, achieving 23x speedup with zero OOM events; (c) Moesis, domain-aware selective quantization for MoE models achieving 6.3x speedup on 12 GB consumer GPUs; and (d) Mesh, cross-KB semantic routing with runtime structural discovery enabling small on-premises models to perform multi-hop cross-domain reasoning. On HotpotQA (1,000 questions), Noesis achieves 59.5 EM / 74.7 F1, surpassing GraphRAG by +27.8 EM while using a 35B on-premises model for graph construction rather than GPT-4o. Source text verification on a 193-page document confirms 90% precision on long-range causal edges inaccessible to chunk-independent extraction.

We present our submission to Task 3 of the Gen$μ$ 2.0 Challenge on visual concept unlearning. Building on MapRoute, we introduce task-specific training objectives, richer concept representations, and semantic routing for concept-specific mapper selection. Our approach improves robust concept removal while preserving unrelated and semantically adjacent concepts. On the official benchmark, evaluated using the Erasing-Retention-Robustness (ERR) metric on Stable Diffusion v1.4, our method outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline by 12.1\% on average across the five concept categories, achieving substantial gains.

This letter presents PrismAD, a decoupled end-to-end autonomous driving framework based on a Semantic Mixture-of-Planners. Existing planners usually aggregate heterogeneous scene tokens into a coupled representation space, forcing a single planning branch to jointly model agent interaction, road geometry, and driving intention. Such coupling may weaken factor-specific reasoning and obscure the contribution of different planning cues. To address this limitation, PrismAD partitions scene tokens into interaction, geometry, and intent groups, and assigns them to independent planning experts with the same architecture but separate parameters. Each expert learns a specialized motion-planning representation, while a semantics-aware router adaptively aggregates expert predictions with separate routing weights for motion prediction and ego planning. Sparse top-$K$ activation with noisy gating is further introduced to improve routing robustness and reduce unnecessary expert computation. Extensive experiments on the nuScenes open-loop dataset and NeuroNCAP closed-loop benchmark demonstrate that PrismAD exhibits competitive performance. Our code will be released soon.
Blind image deblurring demands the recovery of high-fidelity details and coherent structures from complex, unknown degradations. Current blind image deblurring methods struggle with real-world, spatially varying degradations, and lack the semantic awareness necessary to reliably differentiate valid textures from artifacts. To bridge this gap, we propose CogSENet, a dynamic, semantic-aligned reconstruction framework inspired by the eagle's visual system. By mimicking the eagle's active saccadic scanning, we devise a Semantic-Driven State Space Module (SDSSM) with semantic-aware token regrouping via differentiable routing, enabling prompt-conditioned long-range dependency modeling. To ensure physically interpretable recovery of textures and structures, a BiFreqFusionBlock (BFFB) mirrors functional differentiation of the eagle's retina by decomposing features into high and low frequencies using wavelet transforms. Finally, we estimate a continuous Blur Field (CBF) from blur image and fuse it with CLIP semantic priors to modulate the deepest latent features, emulating focal adaptation and enabling adaptive restoration under spatially non-uniform blur. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CogSENetoutperforms state-of-the-art deblurring methods in both visual quality and structural fidelity with fewer parameters, while also performing favorably on dehazing, deraining, and denoising tasks.
