The paradigm of programmable diagram generation is evolving rapidly, playing a crucial role in structured visualization. However, most existing studies are confined to a narrow range of task formulations and language support, constraining their applicability to diverse diagram types. In this work, we propose OmniDiagram, a unified framework that incorporates diverse diagram code languages and task definitions. To address the challenge of aligning code logic with visual fidelity in Reinforcement Learning (RL), we introduce a novel visual feedback strategy named Visual Interrogation Verifies All (Viva). Unlike brittle syntax-based rules or pixel-level matching, Viva rewards the visual structure of rendered diagrams through a generative approach. Specifically, Viva actively generates targeted visual inquiries to scrutinize diagram visual fidelity and provides fine-grained feedback for optimization. This mechanism facilitates a self-evolving training process, effectively obviating the need for manually annotated ground truth code. Furthermore, we construct M32Diagram, the first large-scale diagram code generation dataset, containing over 196k high-quality instances. Experimental results confirm that the combination of SFT and our Viva-based RL allows OmniDiagram to establish a new state-of-the-art (SOTA) across diagram code generation benchmarks.

Amidst the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, research on large vision-language models (LVLMs) has emerged as a pivotal area. However, understanding their internal mechanisms remains challenging due to the limitations of existing interpretability methods, especially regarding faithfulness and plausibility. To address this, we first construct a human response interpretability dataset that evaluates the plausibility of model explanations by comparing the attention regions between the model and humans when answering the same questions. We then propose a patchwise cooperative game-based interpretability method for LVLMs, which employs Shapley values to quantify the impact of individual image patches on generation likelihood and enhances computational efficiency through a single input approximation approach. Experimental results demonstrate our method’s faithfulness, plausibility, and robustness. Our method provides researchers with deeper insights into model behavior, allowing for an examination of the specific image regions each layer relies on during response generation, ultimately enhancing model reliability. Our code is available at https://github.com/ZY123-GOOD/Patchwise_Cooperative.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities across various domains, garnering significant attention from both academia and industry. However, enhancing the performance of LLMs typically requires scaling up model sizes or fine-tuning with additional datasets, which results in substantial computational costs. This paper poses an intriguing question: Can we improve the performance of LLMs without additional training? Drawing inspiration from signal processing principles, which suggest that noise often resides in high-frequency components while low-frequency components carry the essence of signals, we propose uncovering untapped potential in LLMs from a frequency perspective. We hypothesize that the high-frequency components in the weight matrices of LLMs’ linear layers may conceal noise that interferes with predictive accuracy. Therefore, we propose conducting spectral modulation in the parameter space of LLMs, which can seamlessly integrate with various models in a plug-and-play manner. Extensive experiments have demonstrated the superiority of our approach, with spectral modulation yielding an average performance improvement of up to 10.12%.

Incompleteness is a common problem for existing knowledge graphs (KGs), and the completion of KG which aims to predict links between entities is challenging. Most existing KG completion methods only consider the direct relation between nodes and ignore the relation paths which contain useful information for link prediction. Recently, a few methods take relation paths into consideration but pay less attention to the order of relations in paths which is important for reasoning. In addition, these path-based models always ignore nonlinear contributions of path features for link prediction. To solve these problems, we propose a novel KG completion method named OPTransE. Instead of embedding both entities of a relation into the same latent space as in previous methods, we project the head entity and the tail entity of each relation into different spaces to guarantee the order of relations in the path. Meanwhile, we adopt a pooling strategy to extract nonlinear and complex features of different paths to further improve the performance of link prediction. Experimental results on two benchmark datasets show that the proposed model OPTransE performs better than state-of-the-art methods.
