RIFLE: Removal of Image Flicker-Banding via Latent Diffusion Enhancement

Libo Zhu, Zihan Zhou, Xiaoyang Liu, Weihang Zhang, Keyu Shi, Yifan Fu, Yulun Zhang

原文摘要

Capturing screens is now routine in our everyday lives. But the photographs of emissive displays are often influenced by the flicker-banding (FB), which is alternating bright-dark stripes that arise from temporal aliasing between a camera's rolling-shutter readout and the display's brightness modulation. Unlike moire degradation, which has been extensively studied, the FB remains underexplored despite its frequent and severe impact on readability and perceived quality. We formulate FB removal as a dedicated restoration task and introduce Removal of Image Flicker-Banding via Latent Diffusion Enhancement, RIFLE, a diffusion-based framework designed to remove FB while preserving fine details. We propose the flicker-banding prior estimator (FPE) that predicts key banding attributes and injects it into the restoration network. Additionally, Masked Loss (ML) is proposed to concentrate supervision on banded regions without sacrificing global fidelity. To overcome data scarcity, we provide a simulation pipeline that synthesizes FB in the luminance domain with stochastic jitter in banding angle, banding spacing, and banding width. Feathered boundaries and sensor noise are also applied for a more realistic simulation. For evaluation, we collect a paired real-world FB dataset with pixel-aligned banding-free references captured via long exposure. Across quantitative metrics and visual comparisons on our real-world dataset, RIFLE consistently outperforms recent image reconstruction baselines from mild to severe flicker-banding. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first work to research the simulation and removal of FB. Our work establishes a great foundation for subsequent research in both the dataset construction and the removal model design. Our dataset and code will be released soon.

Multimodal BVP and Respiration for Automated Pain Recognition with Hankel-FCN

Valentina Becchetti, Muhammad Umar Khan, Stefanos Gkikas, Alessandro Giuseppi, Raul Fernandez Rojas

原文摘要

Automated pain recognition is a fundamental challenge for the advancement of clinical care and empathetic human-computer interaction, due to the subjective and dynamic nature of pain. In this study, we propose a deep learning framework for objective pain assessment based on multimodal physiological signals from the AI4Pain dataset. The approach focuses on Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) and Respiration (RESP), capturing complementary aspects of autonomic responses to nociceptive stimulation. To explicitly model their temporal dynamics, the signals are transformed into structured trajectory representations using Hankel matrix embeddings, enabling the learning of dynamical patterns beyond conventional time-series representations. These embeddings are processed by modality-specific Fully Convolutional Networks, and their outputs are integrated through a late fusion strategy for three-class classification (No Pain, Low Pain, High Pain). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 67.09% and an F1-score of 66.41%, providing competitive performance compared to existing approaches, while relying on no handcrafted feature engineering. Multimodal fusion significantly outperformed either modality alone, and the Hankel embedding showed a trend towards further improvement. Further validation is required to establish generalisability to broader populations and clinical settings.

EvoRec: A Unified Self-Evolving Agentic Recommender with Dynamic Reflection Trees

Mengting Li, Long Zhang, Hao Jiang, Sheng Yu, Fei Pan, Peng Jiang

原文摘要

Conventional recommender systems rely on fixed cascaded pipelines, limiting their ability to adapt to evolving user needs and feedback. Existing agentic recommenders introduce reasoning and tool use but often lack end-to-end decision control and systematic failure reflection. We propose EvoRec, a unified agentic recommendation framework that combines autonomous decision-making with reflection-driven self-evolution. A Need Agent infers user needs from long-term, short-term, and working memory. A Planning Agent adaptively allocates retrieval budgets between Behavior Continuation and Need Satisfaction, selects retrieval tools, and sets ranking-fusion weights. An Acting Executor executes the plan and records decision traces. Following user feedback, a Dynamic Reflection Tree identifies failures in need inference, planning, or previous repairs, proposes personalized corrections, and validates them through replay. Verified repairs update working memory and are distilled into reusable cross-user strategies, enabling continual improvement without parameter updates. Experiments on a Kuaishou local-services advertising dataset show a 15.7% Hit@50 improvement over the strongest baseline. Hierarchical reflection further improves Hit@50 by 13.1% among users with prior repairs. In a seven-day online A/B test, nearline EvoRec increases advertising revenue by 4.6% and CTCVR by 3.5%, with a 14.5% revenue gain for high-intent users. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of reflection-driven self-evolution in industrial-scale recommendation.

Beyond Prompt Injection: The Tool Update Gap in LLM Agent Security

Shiyu Kan, Yue Qi, Yufei Han, Xinjian Luo, Guojun Xiong, Xiaofeng Gao

原文摘要

Large language model based agents increasingly rely on external tools to invoke services and interact with web resources. These tools can evolve through software updates, yet agentic frameworks may continue trusting them without re-verifying their safety after implementation changes. This tool update gap creates a supply-chain vulnerability in agentic systems: because updated tool code executes outside the LLM's context window, malicious functionality embedded in tool updates can bypass defenses centered on model-visible interactions, leaving agents exposed to stealthy, persistent threats that existing in-context defenses can hardly address. To thoroughly investigate this threat, we introduce ETUDE (Exploiting Tool Updates for Direct Execution), an attack that embeds malicious functionality into updates of initially benign tools to produce compromised tools, while preserving their legitimate tool functionality. Unlike prompt-based attacks, ETUDE operates entirely outside the LLM's context and requires no adversarial instructions, thereby bypassing defenses restricted to model-visible content. We evaluate ETUDE across three representative attack workloads and seven widely used commercial and open-source agentic frameworks, including Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and Claude Code. The results show that ETUDE achieves a 97.6% ASR while maintaining a 95.9% legitimate task completion rate. We further examine existing defenses and find that they provide insufficient protection against this threat. These findings expose a fundamental blind spot in current agent security practices: trust established for a tool does not necessarily remain valid after its implementation updates.

New classes of reversible cellular automata

Jan Kristian Haugland, Tron Omland

原文摘要

Cellular automata find applications in cryptography, error correction, theoretical computer science, and the simulation of physical and biological processes. We say that a Boolean function is a proper lifting if its induced cellular automaton is reversible. This paper introduces new classes of proper liftings, constructed through compositions of landscape functions, and explores their cryptographic potential by computing indicators relevant to differential and linear cryptanalysis. We combine theoretical and computational methods to obtain a complete classification of proper liftings for diameters up to $6$. Several open problems and conjectures are posed along the way.

MUPA${}^2$S: Multimodal Unified Perception with Asymmetric Attention for Stress Assessment

Stefanos Gkikas, Thomas Kassiotis, Yu Fang, Christian Arzate Cruz, Miao Cheng, Zongyi Jiang, Zacharias Kamarianakis, Houshyar Asadi 等 11 位作者

原文摘要

Stress is a leading contributor to long-term physical and mental health decline. The automatic assessment of stress is a promising approach for continuous monitoring and mitigating human biases. However, the development of automated systems remains challenging due to the heterogeneity of physiological and behavioral signals. This paper presents MUPA${}^2$S, a multimodal framework for automatic stress assessment that combines facial video and ECG signals within a unified perception architecture. Both modalities are mapped into a shared token representation without modality-specific components, and processed through asymmetric attention comprising segment-local cross-attention and global self-attention across segment states. Experiments on a newly collected 58-subject stress dataset, evaluated under a stratified subject-level protocol, show that facial video achieves 69.44% test accuracy, while ECG-only performance remains close to chance under the proposed representation. Unified Video-ECG fusion achieves a test accuracy of 69.58% at approximately half the number of parameters of feature-level fusion, with negligible additional computational cost. Feature-level fusion does not exceed the video-only baseline, while unified input-level integration provides a parameter-efficient mechanism for jointly processing the two modalities.

Supporting Orthographic Recall of Chinese Characters through Self-Generated Compositional Mnemonic Stories: A Mixed-Methods Pilot Study

Aaron Friedrich Kurz

原文摘要

Mnemonic studies on Chinese characters have mostly tested provided mnemonics against writing outcomes and self-generated mnemonics against meaning recall; whether writing one's own component-based story helps learners write the character has received little attention. I present Nuome, a tool that shows a character's component decomposition next to an editor in which learners write their own story, with live checks on whether the story covers every component and the character's meaning. In a within-subjects pilot, eight L2 learners each learned four self-chosen characters with the story builder and four with a read-only panel showing the same decomposition, with identical writing practice. Descriptively, partial-credit written-recall scores favoured the story builder by 18.8 percentage points immediately (N = 8) and 17.9 points after two days (N = 7); mean study time per character was 1.69 times as long (n = 6); usability was high (SUS 88.1). Interviews yielded three themes: participants felt that composing a story made them attend to components; knowing the components is not the same as being able to write them; and characters differ in how well they suit a story.

Knowledge-Guided Floodwater Level Reasoning for Cloud-Edge Collaborative Monitoring

Zhengshu Zhou, Shaoyu Wang, Ziyi Geng, Lu Tao, Qian Long

原文摘要

Frequent urban floodwater poses a serious threat to the safety and efficiency of intelligent transportation systems. Existing vision-based methods for floodwater level detection face two main limitations. First, the lack of explicit reasoning leads to poor detection performance and little interpretability. Second, these methods struggle to generalize to the complex and varied real-world road scenes seen from different viewpoints. To address this, we reformulate the task as an explicit visual reasoning problem and propose HydroReasoner, a floodwater level reasoning framework designed for cloud-edge collaboration. HydroReasoner builds on Qwen2.5-VL and is trained with Group Relative Policy Optimization. To address the scarcity of reasoning process annotations, we build a floodwater domain knowledge graph HydroKG and design a novel KG path reward. Through deterministic graph traversal over HydroKG, this reward supervises the model's reasoning process at a fine granularity, which improves both reasoning and generalization. For edge deployment, we apply 4-bit quantization to the model, cutting GPU memory usage by 57% and inference latency by 43% while out-of-domain accuracy drops by only 0.2 percentage points. We also propose a confidence-based cloud-edge routing mechanism, which improves system safety and eases the computational load on the cloud. In addition, we build HydroLevel, a floodwater benchmark dataset of 3,000 images, for training and evaluating the model. Experimental results show that HydroReasoner achieves detection accuracy 4.0 and 13.6 percentage points higher than conventional vision baselines in the in-domain and out-of-domain evaluations respectively, with performance dropping by only 4.4 percentage points out of domain.

Better Answers, Weaker Evidence Control: Evidence Bypass in On-Policy Distillation

Ruoran Xu, Yilun Zhao, Ziyu Chen, Xiaoqiang kang, Arman Cohan

原文摘要

On-policy distillation (OPD) can improve answer accuracy while weakening responsiveness to supporting evidence. We investigate this separation in scientific-document question answering through matched document interventions that change the supported answer while preserving the question and unrelated context. We identify evidence bypass: a student retains an originally correct answer after the document changes to support a different one. On QASPER with a Qwen3-4B student, standard OPD raises original-document accuracy by 3.4 percentage points, lowers counterfactual accuracy by 5.3 points, and increases bypass by 15.7 points; the same directional pattern appears on PeerQA. Controlled perturbations localize the shift to answer-critical evidence, and bypass grows with the student's pre-distillation closed-book preference for the original answer. A factorized study of teacher targets, privileged information, divergence, and supervision density finds that explicitly supplying the teacher with annotated answer-critical spans yields the largest joint improvement in evidence response and claim support. These findings motivate Evidence-Paired OPD (EP-OPD), which combines on-policy supervision on matched documents supporting different answers to the same question with an answer-level margin that favors each document's supported answer over its paired alternative. Across both datasets and two student sizes, EP-OPD recovers 54-66% of standard OPD's counterfactual-accuracy loss while preserving 80-85% of its original-document accuracy gain. Our results establish evidence responsiveness as a distinct training and evaluation target alongside answer accuracy. Our code is publicly available at: https://github.com/RuoranXu/EP-OPD.

Launder-Bench: Can Repository-Level Agentic Code Laundering Be Detected?

Yuntong Hu, Hongji Pu, Zimo Li, Ruomeng Li, Xiaotong Liu, Ziyuan Qin, Qiyue Li, Liang Zhao

原文摘要

Coding agents can now rewrite repository-scale codebases while preserving tested behavior, creating a new challenge for plagiarism detection, license auditing, and software provenance. We ask whether such rewrites can still be traced to their source. Existing clone benchmarks emphasize fragments and bounded edits, while repository-transformation benchmarks evaluate functional correctness rather than provenance. Moreover, ranking the most similar source does not establish derivation when independent implementations can be similarly close. We define repository-level agentic code laundering and introduce Launder-Bench, to our knowledge the first repository-level benchmark for provenance under agentic rewriting, constructed from 282 real-world repositories. A source-hidden reconstruction protocol decomposes source behavior, reconstructs modules and repository structure, and retains rewrites only after execution-based verification. We evaluate the same provenance problem in two complementary settings: Launder-Bench-Pair contains 1,128 pairwise instances asking whether two repositories share provenance, while Launder-Bench-Attr contains 229 source-attribution instances asking which candidate is the source, with abstention when evidence is insufficient. Measured same-domain independent repositories establish how much similarity can arise without shared provenance and provide detector-specific reference bands. Existing methods remain far from saturating Launder-Bench: the strongest static method reaches only 0.66 AUROC on pairwise detection, while repository encoders rank the true source first on up to 22% of attribution queries but earn calibrated attribution credit on only 1-2%. These results reveal a systematic gap between relative code similarity and source-specific provenance evidence, providing a reproducible target for provenance detection under agentic rewriting.

OC-OPD: Observation-coordinated Supervision for On-Policy Distillation

Ruoran Xu, Yilun Zhao, Ziyu Chen, Arman Cohan

原文摘要

Reverse and forward Kullback--Leibler (KL) divergences provide complementary supervision in on-policy distillation: reverse KL refines the student's active token rankings, and forward KL allocates mass to teacher-supported candidates. At student-generated prefixes, we form a four-observation matrix by treating the student and teacher as both candidate sources and evaluators. The diagonal self-observations measure uncertainty, while source-centered cross-observations recover the two KL objectives. We establish an exact identity equating the Fisher inverse-metric coupling of their logit gradients with the sum of these contrasts, yielding a common local descent direction for distinct positive distributions. Observation-coordinated on-policy distillation (OC-OPD) uses observations to set preferences, closed-form bargaining to coordinate gradients, and distributional discrepancy to scale the update. Across three heterogeneous student settings (non-thinking generation, thinking generation, and base-model initialization), OC-OPD achieves strong gains in mathematical reasoning and transfers effectively to out-of-distribution scientific question answering and code generation. Our code is publicly available at: https://github.com/RuoranXu/OC-OPD.

OntoKG-EQ: Evidence-boundary auditing for analytical knowledge graphs

Furqan Nasir, Muhammad Atif Saeed, Muhammad Ehsan, Sher Jeel Ahmad, Abdul Moiz Altaf

原文摘要

An analytical knowledge-graph result can be supported in its ambient graph while its delivered explanation omits deciding observations. OntoKG-EQ connects competency-question requirements to an executable audit of ambient observations, declared finding support and delivered evidence. A bounded declarative interpreter distinguishes positive, false and unknown numerical status, with same-witness unit readiness reported separately. A public-data application reconstructs England's August 2026 provider-level referral-to-treatment statistical screen. Independent source recomputation reconciles 532 providers with the publisher workbook: 91 meet the inclusive 92% threshold and 441 do not. One additional roster entry remains unavailable rather than zero-filled. All 533 application frames agree with an independently implemented standards-based validation and availability baseline. Transfer requires a disclosed source adapter and arithmetic compilation, but no change to the core interpreter. Twenty-six constructed analytical cases yield 78 status/readiness agreements. Actual financial release replay reproduces two omitted-volume defects: support and delivery suffice for 19 of 21 original findings and all 21 repaired findings after interface adaptation. A separate replay agrees on 487 overlapping financial records. Source audits expose scaling errors and unresolved comparator and temporal assumptions, so financial examples do not establish authenticated market effects. The contribution is a reproducible analytical audit interface and source-reconciled application, not new sufficiency logic or first evidence-boundary isolation. Historical ratings measure preference only; objective human audit benefits and independent production deployment remain untested.

Object-Only Is Not Context-Free: A Counterfactual Diagnostic for Context Removal in Object Retrieval

Boaz Meivar, Shai Avidan

原文摘要

Object-centric retrieval pipelines often mask the background before pooling backbone features, aiming for a descriptor that reflects the object rather than its scene. Whether this truly yields an object-only descriptor, however, is rarely tested. We introduce the Keyhole Aperture Probe (KAP), a counterfactual diagnostic that repurposes the ground-truth masks of existing panoptic segmentation datasets (COCO, ADE20K) for retrieval: it holds the pooled object region fixed and varies only the pixels outside it, summarizing a backbone's context dependence in a single number. We find that the pooled object region has already integrated its surround. Replacing the context, with a neutral fill or even a different real scene, changes the descriptor, and when retrieval fails under a blank fill, the descriptor matches plain-background images rather than its own object. Object-only is not context-free. Across ten modern backbones, object-only descriptors retain only about a quarter to two-thirds of their full-image accuracy, and the effect is not unique to Transformer self-attention: a convolutional backbone shows it too. The dependence is also reducible: a lightweight adapter that encourages the descriptor to stay stable as context is removed lowers it and improves full-image instance retrieval on INSTRE, transferring to ILIAS with accuracy improved or preserved. A matched contrastive-fine-tuning control does not reproduce those gains. We release KAP as a simple, backbone-agnostic evaluation protocol to measure and reduce this dependence before deployment.

Attention-Based Multiple Instance Regression for Remote Sensing

Thomas Uriot

原文摘要

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to tackle the multiple instance regression (MIR) problem. This problem arises when the data is a collection of bags, where each bag is made of multiple instances corresponding to the same unique real-valued label. Our goal is to train a regression model which maps the instances of an unseen bag to its unique label. This MIR setting is common to remote sensing applications where there is high variability in the measurements and low geographical variability in the quantity being estimated. Our approach, in contrast to most competing methods, does not make the assumption that there exists a prime instance responsible for the label in each bag. Instead, we treat each bag as a set (i.e, an unordered sequence) of instances and learn to map each bag to its unique label by using all the instances in each bag. This is done by implementing an order-invariant operation characterized by a particular type of attention mechanism. This method is very flexible as it does not require domain knowledge nor does it make any assumptions about the distribution of the instances within each bag. We test our algorithm on five real world datasets and outperform previous state-of-the-art on three of the datasets. In addition, we augment our feature space by adding the moments of each feature for each bag, as extra features, and show that while the first moments lead to higher accuracy, there is a diminishing return.

Event-Based Optical Flow Constraint via Time-Sliced Plane Fitting

Masaki Koike, Yusuke Kameda, Shunichi Sato, Takayuki Hamamoto

原文摘要

Event-based optical flow estimation using spatiotemporal planar approximation inherently assumes constant velocity and tends to average out temporal velocity variations. In this paper, we propose a flow estimation method that extends this planar approximation along the temporal axis. The resulting event-based optical flow constraint allows existing variational optical flow formulations to model temporal motion variation. Specifically, we partition the space-time volume into sub-intervals and apply a two-step planar approximation to track object edges consistently. Moreover, a spatial compensation mechanism and a temporal regularization term are incorporated to compensate for edge displacements and temporally stabilize the flow estimation, respectively. The experimental results show that modeling temporal motion variation improves flow estimation accuracy over conventional methods.

Answering Without Arriving: An Evidence Audit for Embodied Question Answering

Shubh Garg, Divyansh Pandey, Niyati Rawal, Vedant Khandelwal, Amit Sheth

原文摘要

Embodied question answering asks an agent to navigate, observe, and then answer questions about what it saw, yet answer accuracy alone cannot tell whether any of this happened. A plausible answer can come from the question, the room label, or the answer choices, and a correct answer does not show that the supporting observation was ever made. We present a multi-room benchmark whose 200 test episodes and 800 questions are stratified by route extent, with an evaluation ladder that holds the questions fixed while varying only the evidence supplied to the answerer, from text-only probes through closed-loop agents to replay of the reference trajectory. Questions are generated from symbolic records of rooms, visible objects, and frames, so every answer can be traced to the observations that support it. A closed-loop vision-language agent reaches no target in 200 episodes yet answers 45.5% of questions, within 0.1 points of the same model given no images; replaying the reference trajectory raises the same model to 57.4%, so the evidence exists along the route but is not gathered. A family-level audit then shows that access to evidence is not the same as use of it. Four of eight families are largely answerable from text, one cites frames that cannot establish its own answer, and the oracle conditions reach 59.5% on Rooms-visited by counting the supplied images. Evidence acquisition, answer coverage, and shortcut sensitivity must therefore be established before an accuracy gain can be credited to memory.

B[FM]$^2$: Brain Foundation Model via Flow Matching with SplitUNet

Jaedong Hwang, Kathleen Zhang, Wei Dai, Konstantinos Kontras, Maarten Vanmarcke, Maarten De Vos, Ila Fiete, Paul Pu Liang

原文摘要

EEG foundation models can learn generalizable representations from large-scale EEG corpora to enable single-backbone transfer across diverse clinical and brain-computer interface tasks. Existing models typically discretize the continuous multi-channel EEG waveform into patches or codebook tokens and train a transformer with masked self-supervision. Recognizing that this discretization fragments continuous brain rhythms and obscures fine-grained temporal dynamics, we present B[FM]$^2$(Brain Foundation Model via Flow Matching), whose inductive bias aligns with the data by pretraining directly on the raw signal using continuous-time flow matching without patches, tokenization, or masking. However, multi-channel EEG signals pose an architectural challenge for flow matching: time is densely sampled and highly autocorrelated (thousands of timepoints), while the electrode axis is short (tens of channels) at distinct scalp positions. To address this time-electrode asymmetry, we introduce SplitUNet, a velocity network that factorizes each block into separate 1D temporal and 1D electrode convolutions and downsamples only along time, preserving electrode topology throughout the hierarchy. B[FM]$^2$ sets a new state of the art on $7$ of $9$ standard downstream EEG classification tasks, using a pretraining budget of only $36{,}895$ segments ($\approx$ 307h), 1-2 orders of magnitude ($\approx$ 30x) less than required by existing EEG foundation models. Further, it generates synthetic EEGs that two board-certified neurologists cannot distinguish from brain data (Cohen's $κ= -0.096$). https://jd730.github.io/projects/BFM2

Affine and cyclic affine equivalence of rotation-symmetric S-boxes

Tron Omland, Pantelimon Stanica

原文摘要

A rotation-symmetric S-box on $n$ bits is a vectorial Boolean function that commutes with the right cyclic shift and is therefore determined by a single Boolean function. The map $χ$ used in Keccak is a well-known example. Ordinary affine equivalence allows arbitrary invertible affine transformations, which need not preserve rotation symmetry. We introduce \emph{cyclic affine equivalence}, in which the implementing transformations each have an invertible $k$-circulant linear part with $\gcd(k,n)=1$ and a translation vector fixed by the shift. For $n\ge3$, the two relations give the same classes of rotation-symmetric permutations exactly when $n$ is an odd prime for which $2$ is a primitive root. In every other dimension $n\ge3$, explicit constructions exhibit affine classes containing several cyclic affine classes. We derive exact class-size formulas, count cyclic affine classes for $3\le n\le9$, and classify a four-bit family of $χ$-siblings under both relations. Finally, we characterize when a permutation is affinely equivalent to a rotation-symmetric one and apply the criterion to the Ascon S-box.

Optimal Condition Numbers in Low-Rank Positive Semidefinite Matrix Sensing

Mingxuan Sun, Zhiqiang Xu

原文摘要

In this paper we focus on the stability of positive semidefinite matrix sensing maps $Φ_{\mathcal{A}}=(\langle A_i,X\rangle)_{i=1}^m$ where $A_i\succeq 0$, $X\succeq0$ and $\operatorname{rank}(X)\le r$. We introduce the bi-Lipschitz constants of $Φ_{\mathcal{A}}$ and define the global condition numbers as the ratio of upper and lower Lipschitz constants. We give deterministic universal lower bounds for these condition numbers that depend only on the rank $r$ and on the underlying field. We then show that rank-one Gaussian measurements asymptotically attain these bounds, except for the operator-norm condition number over $\mathbb R$ when $r=1$. For this exceptional case, we establish a sharper universal lower bound and prove its asymptotic sharpness. As an application, we derive stability guarantees for an $\ell_1$-residual PhaseLift-type estimator at the optimal sampling scale. These results identify the intrinsic limits of conditioning in positive semidefinite matrix sensing and connect these limits to stable low-rank recovery.

Towards Self-Evolving Narrative Systems: Real-Time Adaptation and Long-Term Optimization with LLMs

Ruisheng Sun, Jiaqi Shao, Weijia Han, Linxi Ju, Yunzhen Zhang, Binyan Sun, Rong Chen, Benjamin Blas Maristany 等 12 位作者

原文摘要

Traditional interactive narrative systems offer strong authorial control and structural coherence but often restrict player agency. In contrast, LLM-driven narratives enable open-ended generation and greater flexibility, yet frequently suffer from inconsistency and diminished narrative control. To navigate this trade-off, we propose a hybrid narrative framework that dynamically balances pre-authored content with real-time LLM generation via semantic similarity alignment. Additionally, sustaining narrative quality over extended gameplay remains a core challenge in LLM-based storytelling. To address this, we introduce a self-evolving, feedback-driven optimization framework that leverages in-context learning to iteratively refine prompts, eliminating the need for manual prompt engineering. Through a case study and participant-based evaluation, we show that our framework enhances narrative coherence while preserving player agency, effectively aligning generated content with both authorial intent and evolving player behavior.

Step-Zero Attack: Agent Safety Before Observability

Tian Qin, Yuhang Jiang, Junzhe Chen, Lit Sin Tan, Lijie Wen

原文摘要

Existing attacks and defenses for coding agents act once content enters the model context: injected text persuades the model, and guards inspect what the model reads. Yet to judge whether processing an unknown archive, network response, or image is safe, an agent often must process it first, and that step can do harm before any content reaches the model. We call this first processing Step Zero, and harm done by it a Step-Zero attack. Across seven harnesses and six models, each agent received only a path or URL to a crafted input, paired with a benign twin showing the same visible fields. Step Zero is where most agents are already unsafe: 32/42 harness-model pairs overran a 4 MiB disk budget, 26/42 before the model saw any member, and four of the six models did so in every round (84/84), so the damage precedes any model-side defense. Every twin stayed within budget, so the attacker's bytes alone cause the harm. On network and image inputs the risk moves to what the agent writes: agents stored the body under the name the input declared, letting the input decide what is written, and their checks faded once cues were removed. Model-free tests trace the harm to the processing primitive, so we defend it there: a gate that counts the bytes each call produces held every routed extraction within budget while agents completed 25/28 tasks. Vendors should pair such gates with safety-alignment training that teaches agents to inspect an input before processing it.

Hippocampal consolidation without replay in fully fine-tuned networks

Keuntae Kim, Yong Suk Choi

原文摘要

Networks that keep learning overwrite what they know. Prevailing remedies replay stored data, distil from old models or freeze the backbone. The brain suggests a different division of labour: the hippocampus indexes where experience lies in cortex while the cortex keeps learning. We show that this division lets a fully trainable network keep learning without cross-task replay, a teacher or inference-time memory. After each task, a training-only hippocampal memory indexes the input geometry of every group of synapses sharing an input, residual energy included, and limits each synapse's movement per direction before and after the optimizer. This class-free geometry carries most of the protection; with conflict detection on top, the method cuts absorption of established classes by near-duplicates several-fold against every compared method. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of one principle keeping whole networks learning across four architecture families and models up to 8 billion parameters. Methods that freeze the backbone hold up only as far as its representation already separates the classes; here the whole network keeps learning to tell near-duplicates apart, leading the frozen-backbone baseline by 17.5 points on TACRED. Without the memory, much old knowledge stays decodable but beyond the network's reach.

The Cryptocurrency Trend Factor Revisited: Predictive Information, Portfolio Construction, and Pricing Claims

Yifei Wang, Zhenling Pang

原文摘要

We reassess five economic claims about the cryptocurrency trend factor (CTREND): cross-sectional return predictability, high risk-adjusted performance, incremental information beyond market, size, and momentum, the ability to replace momentum in factor models, and robustness among large and liquid coins and after trading costs. Our reconstruction and code audit identify issues in information timing, technical indicators, forecast coverage, portfolio formation, and return accounting. We first correct future-information use and related settlement rules, then implement broader corrections to indicators, forecast availability, and portfolio accounting. Without additional coin exclusions, the first stage changes CTREND's mean weekly gross return from 4.07% to 4.25%, annualized Sharpe ratio from 2.08 to 1.48, and weekly alpha relative to published market, size, and momentum factors from 2.77% to 3.06%. After comprehensive correction, these become 0.05%, 0.01, and -1.38%; the alpha is no longer significant. Replacing momentum with CTREND yields an advantage in maximum squared Sharpe ratios of 0.058 in the original implementation, 0.024 after the first-stage correction, and -0.0185 after comprehensive correction, with a statistically significant overall decline. Mean weekly gross returns for the largest 100 coins change from 2.93% to 3.99% to 1.00%, while mean weekly net returns for the full long-short portfolio under the lowest assumed trading costs change from 2.93% to 3.35% to -0.87%. These findings show that reported performance and factor-substitution gains depend materially on implementation and sample composition. We distinguish predictive information, an independent return premium, and the incremental value of replacing an existing factor as separate economic claims.

CertClaim: Towards Certified Model-Claim Verification for Coding-Agent Services

Jiacheng Lu, Qixuan Yang, Tao Song, Daxin Jiang, Jing Li, Zuo Bai, Haibing Guan

原文摘要

Coding-agent services are priced by the model they claim, making the verification of such model claims crucial for their users. In this paper, we reveal that existing model auditing methods rely on a latent assumption that the deployment is static, i.e., the claimed model is always served in one reference configuration. This assumption does not hold for coding-agent services, whose providers may legitimately change the sampling preset, the reasoning mode or the system prompt without changing the model. As a result, existing methods either falsely accuse honest providers or miss cheap derivatives of the claimed model. To address this problem, we propose a certified model-claim verification method (dubbed CertClaim). Instead of testing the service against one reference deployment, we make the authorized deployments part of the claim and test whether some authorized deployment explains all the evidence of the service, by calibrating multiple evidence channels in every authorized deployment and fusing them within each deployment. We provide theoretical analyses of its false-accusation rate and detection condition. Extensive experiments on eight claims, two agent harnesses and three task suites verify the effectiveness of CertClaim, which is valid in every setting while separating substitutes far better than existing methods, as well as its resistance to potential adaptive attacks.

Stepwise Reasoning Verification: Don't Generate, Classify!

Yifei Shi, Michalis Korakakis, Rami Aly, Eric Chamoun, Lukasz Szpruch, Andreas Vlachos

原文摘要

Verifying the reasoning of large language models is increasingly important as they are applied to complex mathematical and scientific problems. Existing work focuses on large decoder models and reports mixed results for generative and discriminative verifiers, leaving unclear which paradigm is more effective and whether large models are necessary. In this work, we cast stepwise verification as a natural language inference task: the problem and partial solution prefix form the premise, while the next reasoning step serves as the hypothesis to be classified as entailed or non-entailed. This formulation enables error localisation at individual reasoning steps and direct comparison of encoder classification, decoder classification, and decoder verdict generation across model scales and annotation budgets. Across five reasoning datasets, a 0.15B encoder classifier outperforms most generative verifiers with up to 4B parameters. On identical decoder backbones, classification outperforms generation from 0.5B to 4B parameters and matches it on the strongest 7B backbone---reaching comparable performance with roughly one tenth as many annotated problems. Our findings establish classification as a parameter- and data-efficient approach to stepwise verification and show that strong verification does not require large generative decoders.

Tracing How Language Models Integrate Temporal Anchors into Factual Recall

Ayana Niwa, Masahiro Kaneko, Kentaro Inui

原文摘要

Factual recall in language models is typically framed as retrieving a factual association: a subject--relation pair maps to a single object. However, many facts are context-dependent: the same pair maps to different objects depending on a condition such as time. We introduce anchored factual recall, in which the model receives an explicit conditioning expression, an anchor, and must select the object valid under it. This raises questions that single-object recall does not: where the anchor enters the computation, what it changes, and how that change selects the answer. Focusing on temporal anchors, we answer them with causal interventions on four open-weight models on English prompts and identify two routes. In a subject-mediated route, the anchor resolves the final subject-token representation to the queried year, and the relation redistributes the readout of this state across attention heads. In a direct route] the final position attends to the anchor, and upper-layer MLPs turn this signal into a preference for the time-appropriate object. The two routes are parallel channels: their contributions add up, most queries use both, and their balance depends on the query, e.g., on the relation, consistently across models. This reframes mechanistic accounts of factual recall from retrieving a single stored object to selecting among context-dependent alternatives.

Beyond Multimodal Emotion Conflict: Temporal Context-Aware Hidden Emotion Detection with Multimodal Large Language Models

Yonghao Wang, Jiaxin Zhou

原文摘要

Multimodal emotion recognition commonly combines textual, acoustic, and visual signals to infer affective states. Recent work has begun to study conflicts among modalities, but a conflict does not necessarily indicate that a person is concealing an emotion. It may also result from mixed emotions, individual expressive styles, or contextual factors. This proposal aims to distinguish ordinary emotional inconsistency from emotion concealment and to infer the underlying emotion when supported by evidence. We plan to construct a multimodal benchmark with explicit annotations of expressed emotion, internal emotion, and concealment conditions, and to develop an MLLM-based framework that integrates fine-grained facial Action Units (AUs), cross-modal features, and temporal context.

RAP: Research Attention Prediction in Language Agents

Yingqian Wu, Jingcong Liang, Shengbin Yue, Siyuan Wang, Zhenfei Yin, Junchi Yu, Zhongyu Wei

原文摘要

LLM agents increasingly support research planning and execution, where judgments about current and anticipated research activity inform decisions. Yet whether they can infer changes across a whole field from the partial evidence they retrieve through online scholarly search remains unclear. We introduce Research Attention Prediction (RAP), a literature search benchmark for evaluating this ability. We build a local search environment from 356,357 dated arXiv papers and construct two complementary evaluation tasks. The benchmark comprises a Core set of 2,160 questions across 54 AI/ML fields and an Extended set covering 269 fields. Our evaluation and analysis of LLM agents show that search substantially improves stronger agents' recognition of recent changes, while forecasting gains remain limited or negative. Agents update forecasts across dates and adjust their investigations to forecasting goals, but these adaptations do not reliably yield accurate predictions of future shifts. Even for recent changes, final judgments can diverge from what the retrieved papers indicate. These findings show that agents can recognise some recent changes, yet reliably anticipating future research activity remains difficult despite changes in their answers and investigations.

Direct Knowledge Transfer for Offline Q-Learning

Zhanye Luo, Guangyan Gan, Lin William Cong

原文摘要

Data-driven sequential decision making in marketing and healthcare can benefit from observations collected in related environments, particularly when data in the environment of interest are limited. Transferring such information requires accounting for differences in rewards and transition dynamics across environments. We study knowledge transfer for offline reinforcement learning through a joint estimation framework that directly integrates source information into target value-function learning. We propose Direct Transfer Fitted Q-Iteration (DFQI), which updates the target Q-function while simultaneously borrowing the source information through an L1 penalty that links the target coefficients to a weighted aggregate of source coefficients, with both determined jointly within each Bellman update. Using sieve approximation, we establish statistical guarantees for target estimation and policy learning in stationary discounted environments with common or heterogeneous transition kernels. Empirical studies further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DFQI framework in transferring source information to improve policy learning with limited target data.
