CogArena: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents on Interactive Behavioral Experiments

Kianté Fernandez, Caitlin Chen, Jialu Zhou, Bartek Sadowski, Anthony C. Miceli, Ian Krajbich

原文摘要

Claims about the cognitive capabilities of large language models are typically tested by translating behavioral paradigms into text prompts, bypassing the visual interfaces and time pressure through which human participants actually engage with experiments. At the same time, AI agents can now complete online behavioral tasks and produce human-like data, which raises concerns that online datasets in the social and behavioral sciences are increasingly open to contamination. We introduce CogArena, a benchmark of ten experimental paradigms from the social and behavioral sciences. Agents complete the experiments through a standard web browser, working with the same visual stimuli and response interfaces that online participants use. A three-level scoring procedure evaluates whether the agent completed the task, how accurately it performed, and whether its data show the behavioral signatures each paradigm reliably produces in people. Across four multimodal models, each run ten times per task, we find that finishing an experiment and reproducing its signatures are different things. Many sessions did not finish, and those that did reproduced some signatures reliably and others not at all. CogArena provides the tasks, scoring code, and a public leaderboard for new submissions.

Strategic Multi-Agent Learning for Interpretable Action Valuation of All Players in Football

Kenjiro Ide, Taiga Someya, Kohei Kawaguchi, Keisuke Fujii

原文摘要

Valuing player actions in football, a complex multi-agent system, requires accounting for strategic interactions among 22 players, including off-ball movements and defensive positioning. Existing reinforcement-learning-based valuation methods commonly incorporate other players through the observed state while retaining independent-agent value formulations. To our knowledge, we introduce the first Markov perfect equilibrium (MPE)-inspired framework for valuing the actions of all 22 players using real football tracking and event data, formulating each possession as a finite-horizon multi-agent dynamic game. To improve interpretability, the framework uses Expandable Decision-Making States (EDMS) and decomposes each Q-value into a successor-feature basis and a linear reward-weight vector. The value basis is estimated through a two-stage procedure combining linear temporal-difference initialization with nonlinear iterative refinement from observed state-action transitions. Using tracking and event data from 95 J1 League matches, we compare the proposed formulation with an independent reinforcement learning baseline under both Position and Velocity States (PVS) and EDMS representations. With EDMS held fixed, the independent baseline assigns the highest value to forward movement in 99.21% of evaluated off-ball states, whereas the most frequent direction under the proposed formulation accounts for 17.63%. Qualitative analyses illustrate context-dependent off-ball valuations and highlight limitations of the current state representation for defensive positioning. Overall, the framework provides an MPE-inspired approach to interpretable action valuation in football, enabling analysis under alternative tactical reward weights.

Anomaly Detection via Autoencoder Composite Features and NCE

Yalin Liao, Austin J. Brockmeier

原文摘要

Unsupervised anomaly detection is a challenging task. Autoencoders (AEs) or generative models are often employed to model the data distribution of normal inputs and subsequently identify anomalous, out-of-distribution inputs by high reconstruction error or low likelihood, respectively. However, AEs may generalize and achieve small reconstruction errors on abnormal inputs. We propose a decoupled training approach for anomaly detection that both an AE and a likelihood model trained with noise contrastive estimation (NCE). After training the AE, NCE estimates a probability density function, to serve as the anomaly score, on the joint space of the AE's latent representation combined with features of the reconstruction quality. To further reduce the false negative rate in NCE we systematically varying the reconstruction features to augment the training and optimize the contrastive Gaussian noise distribution. Experimental assessments on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach matches the performance of prevalent state-of-the-art anomaly detection algorithms.

Foreground-Aware Dataset Distillation via Dual-Path Patch Selection

Mingzhuo Li, Guang Li, Longzhen Li, Ren Togo, Keisuke Maeda, Takahiro Ogawa, Miki Haseyama

原文摘要

In this paper, we propose a foreground-aware dataset distillation method that performs content-adaptive dual-path patch selection. With the rising computational cost of training large-scale deep models, dataset distillation has emerged as a promising approach for constructing compact synthetic datasets that retain knowledge from large original datasets. Although optimization-based methods can achieve strong performance, they often incur considerable computational and memory costs and may produce synthetic images that generalize poorly across architectures. Recent non-optimization-based methods alleviate these limitations by constructing distilled images from real-image patches. However, their inflexible patch-construction strategies may either retain redundant background content or discard important foreground structures. To address this issue, we propose a foreground-aware dataset distillation framework with content-adaptive dual-path patch selection. We first use Grounded SAM2 to estimate the foreground occupancy of each image and derive category-specific routing thresholds from the corresponding class-wise distributions. Each image is routed to one of two complementary paths: the candidate-crop selection path for images with relatively sparse foregrounds, or the direct transformation path for images with relatively dominant foregrounds. This dual-path mechanism balances foreground concentration and preservation, reducing redundant background content while retaining the structural integrity of foreground objects at the dataset level. Experiments on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, ImageNette, and ImageWoof with two network architectures and three distillation budgets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the baseline method RDED in nearly all evaluated settings.

A State Augmented Approach to Paralle Modeling in High-Level Synthesis

Nicholas Kovacs, Hao Zheng

原文摘要

High-level synthesis (HLS) can schedule only the concurrency made legal by its input description. For feedback-coupled designs, a sequential behavioral model can obscure the architectural state boundaries and hazard resolution needed for efficient overlap. We develop an explicit architectural modeling methodology based on synchronous sequential processes that start in lockstep and synchronize completion before repeating. Persistent state, communication, and feedback control are represented in C++, while HLS schedules and binds operations within that structure. A five-stage RV32I processor illustrates three consequential modeling decisions: which version of a value a consumer reads, when it consumes that value, and how architectural memory actions map to port operations. On a Kintex UltraScale+ FPGA, the CPI-optimized configuration achieves 1.221 cycles per instruction at 220 MHz, compared with 4.000 for an algorithmic HLS baseline and 1.575 at 242 MHz for an Ibex reference. An area-optimized configuration reduces LUTs by 65\% and registers by 47\%, with 9.7\% more benchmark cycles and a 250 MHz achieved clock. These results demonstrate a separation between designer-controlled architecture and tool-controlled scheduling.

Counting Clues: A Lightweight Probabilistic Baseline Can Match an LLM

Furong Jia, Yuan Pu, Finn Guo, Monica Agrawal

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) excel on multiple-choice clinical diagnosis benchmarks, yet it is unclear how much of this performance reflects underlying probabilistic reasoning. We study this through questions from MedQA that ask for the most likely diagnosis. We introduce Frequency-Based Probabilistic Ranker (FBPR), a lightweight method that scores options with a smoothed Naive Bayes over concept-diagnosis co-occurrence statistics from a large corpus. When co-occurrence statistics are sourced from Dolma, the pretraining corpus for OLMo, and RedPajama, an open reproduction of the LLaMA pretraining-data recipe, FBPR achieves comparable performance to the corresponding LLMs. Furthermore, direct LLM inference and FBPR exhibit complementary strengths, correctly answering largely different subsets of questions with overlap barely above chance. Combining them with a simple hybrid method yields a notable gain over either method alone. These findings show that explicit probabilistic baselines can account for a substantial portion of the benchmark performance on diagnosis questions, while serving as historically grounded reference points and complementary signals for hybridization.

CulturalRiddles: A Multicultural Benchmark of Riddles

My Chiffon Nguyen, Tianyi Hu, Vinod Anbalagan, Henry Gagnier, Pouya Sadeghi, Farah Abdou, Tidor-Vlad Pricope, Diego MMS Oliveira 等 164 位作者

原文摘要

As LLMs expand their language coverage, evaluating how well they understand and represent diverse cultures becomes increasingly important. However, many benchmarks remain English-centric, with limited cultural coverage and a focus on factual knowledge over its application in real-world cultural contexts. We propose CulturalRiddles, a benchmark of original, culturally grounded riddles created entirely by humans through a participatory community effort, spanning 62 cultures (45 countries, 51 languages). These riddles are deeply rooted in their respective cultures and require abductive and compositional reasoning, alongside detailed factual and social knowledge, language skills, and an understanding of culturally specific associations. We benchmark 28 LLM configurations using both automatic and large-scale human evaluation. Even frontier models achieve at most 22% accuracy in some communities. We publicly release all artifacts alongside an open contribution process to expand the benchmark's linguistic and cultural coverage.

DART: Differentiable Dynamic Adaptive Region Tokenizer for Vision Foundation Models

Shicheng Yin, Kaixuan Yin, Yang Liu, Weixing Chen, Liang Lin

原文摘要

The content-agnostic, fixed-grid tokenizers used by standard large-scale vision models like Vision Transformer (ViT) and Vision Mamba (Vim) represent a fundamental performance bottleneck, creating a trade-off between capturing fine-grained detail and suffering from redundant computation. To resolve this dilemma, we introduce DART, a fully differentiable Dynamic Adaptive Region Tokenizer. DART employs learnable region scores and quantile-based partitioning to create content-aware patches of varying sizes, intelligently allocating a higher token density to information-rich regions. The impact of this approach is profound: it unlocks a more intelligent scaling paradigm, where a DART-equipped DeiT-Small (22M parameters) matches the performance of a DeiT-Base (86M) with nearly double the inference speed by efficiently capturing high-resolution details in key regions. Furthermore, the principle of adaptive tokenization proves its generality with clear benefits in dense prediction and spatiotemporal video tasks. We argue that by resolving the tokenizer bottleneck at its source, adaptive tokenization is a key component for building the next generation of more efficient and capable foundation models for multimodal AI, robotics, and content generation. Code is available at https://github.com/HCPLab-SYSU/DART.

Multi-Scale Spatio-Temporal Exploratory Analysis of Urban Vehicle Theft

Chaitanya Jobanputra, George Mohler, Sebastian Vollmer, Gerrit Großmann

原文摘要

Vehicle theft is a persistent urban problem with large economic and social costs. We analyze 521,098 stolen-vehicle reports filed with the Los Angeles Police Department from 2000 to 2022, at scales from hours to decades and from 100 m grid cells to census tracts. Much of the work lies in making the administrative records fit for analysis: we separate thefts from recoveries and traffic reports filed in the same records, repair time fields, validate the geocoding, and harmonize census data across changing tract boundaries. Theft is strongly and persistently concentrated: 10.8% of 250 m cells hold half of all thefts, and six census tracts are significant rate hotspots in all 23 years after false discovery rate control. Thefts close in space and time are more frequent than expected by chance, but about half of this excess comes from events at identical coordinates. Lower-income tracts have more thefts at equal exposure, monthly temperature shows no association with theft, and thefts peak in the evening. From 2015-2019 to 2021-2022, the share of Kia and Hyundai among stolen vehicles rose from 1.5% to 9.5% and from 1.6% to 7.7%, mostly among model years 2011-2021, which largely lacked a standard immobilizer. All findings are descriptive. We also describe how the data quality issues we corrected would otherwise distort several of these patterns.

VolFill: Single-View Amodal 3D Scene Reconstruction with Volumetric Flow Matching

Tuan Duc Ngo, Chuang Gan, Evangelos Kalogerakis

原文摘要

Reconstructing the complete geometry of a scene from a single RGB image remains challenging, especially when inferring hidden structures where visual evidence is incomplete. We introduce VolFill, a generative framework that predicts the 3D structure of the complete scene rather than relying on traditional pixel-aligned regression. Our method utilizes a hybrid 3D VAE to compress sparse truncated unsigned distance function grids into a compact latent space, paired with a latent Diffusion Transformer that denoises this representation to recover the complete scene. We condition the generation on a geometry foundation model, leveraging rich spatial priors for robust reasoning. Unlike existing methods limited by per-ray constraints or unstructured point-cloud queries, VolFill provides a structured representation that supports direct surface extraction and occupancy queries at scale. Extensive experiments on the SCRREAM and NRGB-D datasets demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms current amodal baselines, providing a robust foundation for holistic spatial understanding.

FIDES-Live: Evaluating Behavioral Concordance in Sequential Trading Agents

Arther Tian, Alex Ding, Simon Wu, Aaron Chan

原文摘要

Sequential trading agents produce decisions, orders, execution receipts, account states, and reports that need not agree, even when the final portfolio value is correctly computed. We present FIDES-Live, an operational extension of FIDES from generated strategy concordance to the audit of sequential agent traces. The protocol separates structured decision validity, optional numerical commitment adherence, execution and ledger reconciliation, and receipt- grounded reporting, with explicit coverage and unscorable outcomes. We retrospectively audit ten requested inference routes over 7,299 cryptocurrency account-rounds and a 310-round equity pilot, using real market observations and local paper execution. Cryptocurrency decision validity is 97.35% and structured reporting accuracy is 90.81% among scorable responses, but route-level decision and reporting performance can diverge sharply. Commitment adherence is 94.36% overall; it falls to 62.63% on constraints emitted with nonempty order proposals, compared with 97.56% for valid empty proposals. All retained cash and position transitions reconcile with recorded fills, while execution controls and unavailable quotes explain separate rejection populations. Short-window marked returns provide descriptive context rather than a new test of whether concordance predicts alpha. These observations motivate reporting concordance, evidence coverage, activity, and financial outcomes separately. They do not establish long-run trading skill, semantic faithfulness of explanations, or causal benefits from audit feedback.

Advantage of Sample Complexity in Quantum PAC Learning Requires Inverse Access to State-Preparation Unitaries

Natsuto Isogai, Satoshi Yoshida, Mio Murao

原文摘要

Whether quantum computation can reduce the amount of data required for conventional machine learning is a central problem in quantum machine learning. In probably approximately correct (PAC) learning, a learner receives training examples sampled from an unknown probability distribution. Quantum PAC learning extends this framework by allowing access to quantum examples, which are quantum states that coherently encode this distribution, or to unitaries that prepare quantum examples, with or without inverse access. When only copies of quantum examples are available, the optimal worst-case sample complexity asymptotically matches that of classical learning. In contrast, access to both a preparation unitary and its inverse can improve the accuracy dependence of query complexity. However, it has remained open whether access to the preparation unitary alone suffices for this improvement. In this work, we resolve this question by determining the optimal query complexity with forward-only access, taking the worst case over compatible preparation unitaries and their dimensions. In both realizable and agnostic PAC learning, this complexity matches, up to constant factors, the optimal sample complexity achievable with classical examples or copies of quantum examples. To prove these results, we construct, for any algorithm with forward-only access, a simulator that approximates the algorithm's Haar-averaged output state using as many copies of the prepared state as the algorithm makes queries. These results show that inverse access is essential for the known improvement in accuracy dependence in this worst-case setting. Beyond PAC learning, our reduction provides a general tool for transferring lower bounds for state copies to query lower bounds for forward-only access to the corresponding preparation unitaries.

Provenance-Aware Belief Updating in Human-AI Feedback Loops

Tianyi Huang, Eric Liu, Jay Chong, Emily Yin, Wanqi Zhao

原文摘要

In repeated human-AI interaction, a single observation can be quoted, summarized, and returned to a model as multiple reports, making repetition look like independent corroboration. We study whether language models can use supplied report lineage to update according to evidence provenance rather than report count. We introduce Latent Quotient Evidence Training (LQET), a relational objective that combines sparse Bayesian supervision with constraints that encourage stable predictions when reports add no new evidence and consistent updates to the same new evidence across relay histories. On a controlled binary benchmark, LQET reduces new-evidence update RMSE by 41-44\% and log-odds drift after eight relay steps by 89-91\% relative to task-only training across Qwen3-4B and Phi-4-mini, with three paired training seeds per backbone. The gains extend to a closed-loop simulation in which model confidence controls how many relayed reports re-enter the model's context in later rounds. By grounding belief updates in supplied provenance, LQET offers a route toward dynamic human-AI systems in which influence follows new evidence, not the number of times the same evidence returns.

Inferring Inference

Rajkumar Vasudeva Raju, Zhe Li, Scott Linderman, Xaq Pitkow

原文摘要

Patterns of microcircuitry in the cerebral cortex suggest that the brain has an array of repeated canonical computational units. However, neural representations are distributed, so the relevant computations may only be related indirectly to single-neuron transformations. It thus remains an open challenge how to define canonical distributed computations. Here we integrate normative and algorithmic theories of neural computation to present a mathematical framework for inferring canonical distributed computations from large-scale neural activity patterns. At the normative level, we hypothesize that the brain learns a structured internal model of its environment and its latent causes. At the algorithmic level, we propose that this inference process is a nonlinear message-passing algorithm on a graph-structured model of the world. Given a time series of neural activity during a perceptual inference task, our analysis framework finds (i) the neural representation of the relevant latent variables, (ii) interactions between these latent variables that define the brain's internal model of the world, and (iii) message functions that specify the inference algorithm. With enough data, key computational properties are identifiable due to constraints from the symmetries inherent in any canonical computation, up to a joint global transformation of all interactions and the message-passing functions. As a demonstration of this framework, we analyze artificial neural recordings generated by a simulated brain that implicitly implements an approximate inference algorithm. Given simulated inputs and neural activity we successfully recover the latent variables, their neural representation and dynamics, and canonical message functions that govern the dynamics. Analysis of these models reveals features of experimental design required to extract canonical computations from neural data.

When to Intervene? An Empirical Study of Errors and Self-Recovery in LLM Agents

Chiming Duan, Tong Jia, Yingxi Chen, Minghua He, Lingzhe Zhang, Ying Li

原文摘要

LLM agents interact with Web services to perform tasks on users' behalf. Errors during these interactions can disrupt execution and prevent task completion, motivating external intervention. However, agents may self-recover through continued execution, raising the question of when to intervene and when to wait for self-recovery. We present an empirical study of errors and self-recovery in LLM agents. We construct ReInBench, a dataset containing 1,259 agent traces and 1,403 error events across computer-use and Web tasks. Our study examines how often and how quickly agents self-recover, how self-recovery relates to subsequent execution and task completion, and whether self-recovery can be predicted when an error occurs. We find that 725 error events self-recover, often within a few steps, with self-recovery performance differing across Execution LLMs. Self-recovery can also help agents recover from subsequent errors of the same type and support overall task completion. Intervention should therefore prioritize errors unlikely to self-recover, while allowing agents to continue when self-recovery is likely. Building on these empirical findings, we propose ReCoF, a method that predicts whether an error will self-recover to inform whether additional intervention is needed. ReCoF achieves an average relative improvement of 9.02% in Macro-F1 over the strongest baseline on ReInBench. Our code and data can be found at https://method-notes.github.io/ReCoF/.

Underdamped Anchored Langevin Dynamics

Qi Feng, Hoang M. Nguyen, Lingjiong Zhu

原文摘要

Classical Langevin Monte Carlo algorithms, such as the unadjusted Langevin algorithm (ULA), are based on discretization schemes of the overdamped Langevin dynamics and are widely used for sampling in machine learning because they scale to high dimensions and large datasets. However, they require differentiable log-densities, and are less efficient for sampling heavy-tailed distributions. Although various approaches have been proposed in the literature for sampling non-differentiable and heavy-tailed targets, all of them are developed in the overdamped setting only. We propose a novel momentum-based underdamped anchored Langevin dynamics (UALD), and underdamped anchored Langevin Monte Carlo (UALMC) algorithm based on a discretization scheme of UALD. Our paper is the first to provide a kinetic (momentum-based) Langevin algorithm for non-differentiable and heavy-tailed targets that is free of asymptotic bias. The method replaces the original potential with a smooth reference potential and modifies the underdamped Langevin dynamics via multiplicative scaling in the drift term. We establish non-asymptotic guarantees in the 2-Wasserstein distance to the target distribution and show that the resulting iteration complexity has better dependence on dimension and accuracy level compared to overdamped-based anchored Langevin algorithms. We provide numerical experiments to illustrate the theory and practical performance of our proposed approach.

CoHARL: Co-Evolving Agent Policies and Executable Harnesses with Reinforcement Learning

Jianwen Chen, Peng Xia, Kaide Zeng, Siwei Han, Zhen-Yu Zhang, Charles Fleming, Xinyu Ye, Huaxiu Yao

原文摘要

Large language model (LLM) agents interact with their environments through executable harnesses that govern tool use and feedback. Optimizing a harness for a fixed policy overlooks how its behavior changes during learning, while training a policy under a fixed harness leaves the interface that generates its training experience unchanged. This motivates adapting the harness throughout policy training. We introduce CoHARL, a population-based reinforcement learning framework that co-evolves a shared policy and a population of executable harnesses. The policy learns from rollouts across the population, and a proposer uses its execution traces to revise harness code during training. CoHARL achieves a 27.6% mean resolved rate on SWE-rebench, improving over harness-only search by 6.4 percentage points. Experiments on SWE-bench Verified and Terminal-Bench 2.0 show gains in software engineering and terminal-based tasks. Under matched training budgets, CoHARL also outperforms searching for a harness once before RL and alternating policy updates with revisions to a single active harness.

Confident First, Reflective Second: Reinforcement Learning of Confidence-Preserving Reflection for Video Understanding

Zihao Lin, Jingyuan Liu, Yucheng Zhang, Yuguang Yao, Lifu Huang

原文摘要

Video models answer from sampled frames and may miss the decisive moment. A common remedy is to commit to an answer, re-examine the video, and confirm or revise it, a loop now mainly learned with reinforcement learning (RL). We find that RL erodes the initial answer, a phenomenon we term confidence erosion, where confidence means the label-verified reliability of the initial answer instead of self-reported certainty: because errors can be repaired later, a correct initial answer earns less reward, and the initial answer stalls even as the final answer's gain over it rises. We propose the principle confident first, reflective second: the initial answer must stay reliable on its own, above a floor set by a reference policy, and reflection may only add to it. Our method, CoFire, implements this principle with one mechanism for each erosion channel: reward incentives, parameter drift, and gradient interference. CoFire reaches 67.0% mean accuracy on Video-MME, MLVU, and LongVideoBench, 1.7 points above the strongest compared 7B method, and improves initial-answer and final accuracy over outcome-reward RL by 4.1 and 3.7 points on average: a stronger initial answer carries through to a stronger final one.

Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion-Uni: Elastic Self-Refining Unified Diffusion LLM with Cross-Paradigm On-Policy Distillation

Shufan Li, Hanrong Ye, Greg Heinrich, Yonggan Fu, Haotian Zhang, Sifei Liu, Aditya Grover, Pavlo Molchanov

原文摘要

We propose Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion-Uni (NLD-Uni), a unified discrete diffusion large language model (DLLM) for visual understanding and generation tasks. Compared with prior unified diffusion models, NLD-Uni introduces two major innovations. First, we propose a unified cross-paradigm on-policy distillation (OPD) framework that successfully transfers the visual understanding ability of autoregressive VLMs and visual generation ability of continuous flow models, to a unified DLLM. Second, NLD-Uni incorporates a novel progressive self-refining diffusion process that gradually corrupts each token across multiple steps during training, as opposed to adopting the conventional masked diffusion formulation that directly corrupts a clean image token to an uninformative mask token. At inference, this design allows NLD-Uni to make intermediate commit to a token, enabling progressive self-refinement for better visual quality. Through extensive experiments, we show that NLD-Uni achieves state-of-the-art performance among unified DLLMs on diverse tasks including visual question-answering, multi-modal reasoning, object grounding, text-to-image generation, and image editing.

Split Federated Unlearning

Jia Chen, Yecheng Lv, Xinrong Hu, Mingdi Huang, Jun Bai

原文摘要

Split federated learning (SFL) combines partitioned model execution with federated aggregation to support collaborative learning across distributed Web and edge environments. However, removing learned contributions in SFL is challenging due to cross-partition coupling and historical influence propagation through dual-side aggregation. To the best of our knowledge, we provide the first systematic formulation of Split Federated Unlearning (SFU), encompassing client-wise and class-wise removal, counterfactual retraining, and partition-specific update constraints. We theoretically characterize historical influence propagation and mode-dependent unlearning feasibility, revealing structural limitations of restricted model updates. As an initial solution, we propose SURE, integrating dual-importance estimation, selective parameter perturbation, and importance-guided recovery. Extensive experiments with existing unlearning methods adapted to SFL reveal substantial forgetting-utility trade-offs across model architectures, data distributions, and update modes. SURE achieves competitive agreement with mode-matched retraining at modest additional cost, while further analyses highlight the impact of split position and update constraints on unlearning behavior. These findings establish SFU as a distinct research problem and provide a foundation for unlearning in partitioned federated systems.

LRanker: Scaling LLM Ranking to Millions of Candidates with Test-Time Scaling

Tao Feng, Zijie Lei, Zhigang Hua, Yan Xie, Shuang Yang, Ge Liu, Jiaxuan You

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) offer strong semantic representations for ranking, but processing candidate texts within limited contexts and repeatedly invoking an LLM for candidate-level comparisons can be costly when candidate pools contain millions of items. We propose LRanker, a framework for scaling LLM ranking to millions of candidates with test-time scaling. The framework combines two complementary components. A candidate aggregation encoder summarizes offline candidate embeddings using K-means clustering and conditions the LLM on compact global candidate information; ranking then uses inner-product scores with cached candidate embeddings. A graph-based test-time scaling mechanism allocates additional inference computation to partition-conditioned query embeddings and ensembles their ranking scores. This separates the ability to score large candidate pools from the use of additional test-time computation to improve ranking quality. We evaluate LRanker on seven tasks across three scenarios in RBench, including a recommendation task with more than 6.8M candidates. Against the strongest baseline reported for each task, the relative MRR improvements in RBench-Large are 27.5%, 3.9%, 0.9%, and 8.9% on Rec-Movie, Rec-Toy, MS MARCO, and ESCI, respectively. On RBench-Small, the reported task scores improve by 26.7% on Rec-Music and 6.1% on Routing-Balance; on the 6.8M-candidate Rec-Clothing task, the improvement over Tiger is 27.0%. Ablations support the complementary contributions of candidate aggregation and test-time ensembling. These results demonstrate a practical approach to million-scale LLM ranking, with test-time computation providing an additional means of improving ranking effectiveness.

ClusterSplat: Semantic Cluster Selection for 3D Visual Grounding in Gaussian Splatting

Jaesung Lee, Hyeontaek Hwang, Gabriel Manalu, Daeyoung Kim

原文摘要

We study 3D visual grounding in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), where a referring expression should identify a target object as both a rendered 2D mask and a set of explicit 3D Gaussians. Prior methods typically extract 3D targets by applying heuristic thresholding or top-ratio filtering to dense primitive-level relevance scores. However, these scores often vary substantially across scenes and prompts, making such heuristics sensitive and leading to unstable targeting. ClusterSplat addresses this by reframing 3D target selection as cluster-level selection over scene-adaptive candidates. The method first learns instance-aware Gaussian features, forms feature-aware seed voxels, and merges neighboring seed voxels when a description-length criterion decreases, producing a scene-specific set of cluster candidates. Given a referring expression, a query-conditioned cluster scorer ranks the cluster candidates with a lightweight MLP, and the selected cluster directly defines the explicit 3D target while its cluster score is rendered for the 2D mask. On ScanRefer, ClusterSplat achieves the best rendered 2D segmentation and explicit 3D target metrics among the compared 3DGS baselines. It also obtains the best average Ref-LERF scores, supporting the same trend under fine-grained referring descriptions. On ScanNet v2 class name queries, ClusterSplat achieves the strongest rendered 2D results and the highest 3D matching accuracy, while maintaining competitive 3D IoU.

A Simple Presentation of Robust Membership Inference Attacks

Renaud Gaucher, Ephraim Linder, Adam Smith, Jonathan Ullman, Lydia Zakynthinou

原文摘要

In a membership inference attack, an attacker is given the data of a particular individual, and tries to determine if that individual was included in a particular dataset, given some kind of statistics derived from the dataset or a model trained on the dataset. Roughly, a membership inference attack is robust if it succeeds even when the statistics are highly noisy, regardless of how that noise is introduced. We give a simple presentation of robust membership inference attacks for mean estimation, covering both multivariate Gaussian distributions and binary product distributions. We also give a summary of the literature on robust membership inference, covering history, extensions, and connections to other research areas.

ZeRO-Prefill: Zero Redundancy Overheads in MoE Prefill Serving

Zhaoyuan Su, Olatunji Ruwase, Karthik Ganesan, Aurick Qiao, Samyam Rajbhandari, Juncheng Yang, Yue Cheng, Yuxiong He

原文摘要

Production LLM workloads increasingly serve discriminative tasks, such as classification, recommendation, and verification, whose answers are read from the logits of a single prefill pass with no autoregressive decoding. Serving these prefill-only workloads on mixture-of-experts (MoE) models is bottlenecked not by compute but by the distributed execution required to fit the model: existing parallel strategies (tensor, expert, and pipeline parallelism) trade memory pressure for redundant computation, communication, and synchronization, severely degrading MoE prefill serving efficiency. We observe that these overheads stem from coupling expert placement with synchronous activation routing -- a design inherited from the decoding era. The long, compute-bound forward passes of large-batch prefill open a per-layer window wide enough to stream expert weights in the background, replacing per-layer activation AllToAll with asynchronous weight AllGather fully overlapped with computation. We propose ZeRO-Prefill, a prefill-only serving system built on this idea. Its backend, AsyncEP (Asynchronous Expert Parallelism), gathers experts by weight rather than by activation; its co-designed frontend enforces a physically derived saturation threshold through prefix-aware routing and true-FLOPs load tracking. On Qwen3-235B-A22B across four hardware/precision configurations, ZeRO-Prefill delivers 1.34-1.37x throughput over the strongest distributed baseline on real-world workloads and up to 1.59x on long-context synthetic workloads, sustaining 29.8-36.2% per-GPU model FLOPs utilization.

LociArt: A Unified Paradigm for Free-Style Local Video Stylization

Yuxuan Chen, Feng Xie, Jiagao Hu, Fuhao Li, Zepeng Wang, Fei Wang, Daiguo Zhou

原文摘要

Video stylization typically transforms entire scenes, while local artistic editing requires precise region--style association, spatial control, and temporal consistency. We introduce LociArt, a unified paradigm for free-style local video stylization that explicitly specifies where to stylize and what style to apply while preserving non-target content. At its core, GRNStyle builds on Generative Refinement Networks (GRN) and introduces a polar style-aware mask that embeds style identities as equal-norm directions within selected regions. Complementary representation--geometry conditioning combines encoded mask features with raw-mask spatial support, integrating spatiotemporal context with geometric control. To provide paired supervision, we develop an automated pipeline combining global stylization, video object removal, matting, and compositing, and construct the LociArt-100K Dataset with 100K local stylization pairs. We further establish the LociArt Benchmark, comprising 80 source videos and 84 target masks covering 168 foreground/background stylization cases, with a Style Prototype Similarity (SPS) evaluation scheme for regional style quality and complementary measures of non-target preservation and temporal consistency. Experiments show that GRNStyle outperforms existing methods in regional style quality and spatial control while maintaining strong temporal consistency. Qualitative examples further illustrate joint stylization of multiple regions with the same or different learned styles, despite training only on single-region, single-style pairs. Together, these components provide a unified foundation for learning and evaluating controllable local video stylization. Project page: https://higherhu.github.io/lociart/.

ReGuLaR: Relation-Grounded Latent Reasoning for Large Vision-Language Models

Zihu Wang, Karthik Somayaji N. S, Hejia Geng, Peng Li

原文摘要

Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning has significantly improved the reasoning ability of large vision-language models (LVLMs) by verbalizing intermediate reasoning steps in natural language. However, such discrete textual rationales are often insufficient for encoding continuous visual evidence. Recent work addresses this limitation by moving reasoning into continuous latent space. Despite promising progress, existing methods leave latent reasoning insufficiently connected to the compositional and relational structure of visual evidence. To address this gap, we introduce ReGuLaR, a relationgrounded latent reasoning framework that explicitly grounds latent states in this critical yet overlooked visual evidence. ReGuLaR uses a training-time ReGFormer to focus latent reasoning on question-relevant objects and interobject relations, while at inference time the model reasons and generates answers without invoking the ReGFormer. To support training ReGuLaR, we construct RGROUNDING-351K, a vision-language dataset annotated with key object bounding boxes and inter-object relations. Extensive experiments across diverse benchmarks show that ReGuLaR consistently outperforms existing approaches and achieves state-of-the-art performance.

SVIn+: Multi-Modal Framework for Robust Underwater State Estimation using 3D Sonar, Visual-Inertial, Water-Pressure, and DVL

Chinmay Burgul, Xiaoming Zhao, Yewei Huang, Michalis Chatzispyrou, Marios Xanthidis, Ioannis Rekleitis, Alberto Quattrini Li

原文摘要

As expansion and scalability in underwater oper- ations becomes more important and challenging, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) become more relevant and the necessity for reliable autonomy more critical. A fundamental challenge in any autonomous underwater operation, from control to safe navigation and mapping, is state estimation; a notorious hard problem to address, especially in low visibility conditions. In this paper, we tackle this problem, by presenting SVIn+, a multi-sensor framework for robust state estimation of AUVs equipped with an IMU, cameras, a water-pressure sensor, a Doppler Velocity Log (DVL), and a compact 3D sonar. This framework extends an established open-source state-of-the-art visual-inertial SLAM, SVIn, by integrating water-pressure and DVL measurements into a tightly-coupled nonlinear optimiza- tion formulation resulting in improved estimates. To leverage the structural information of recently available 3D acoustic sonars while maintaining computational efficiency, we introduce a hierarchical architecture that incorporates estimates from a decoupled front-end via KISS-ICP, treated as relative pose factors within the factor graph. The proposed framework is validated through field deployments in a shipwreck and coral reef, demonstrating drift mitigation and global consistency. To support further research in underwater multi-modal fusion, the code and the datasets can be found on project website https://cmburgul.github.io/projects/svin+/ https://dartmouthrobotics.github.io/svin-plus

Correction or Manipulation? Measuring Epistemic Vigilance in LLM Agents Under User Pressure

Nardine Basta, Venus Haghighi, Dali Kaafar, Amin Beheshti

原文摘要

LLM agents that answer questions and act on behalf of users must decide when to yield to a user who disagrees. Disagreement may correct a genuine error or may be an attempt at manipulation. Prior work shows that models frequently abandon correct answers when challenged by users, yet it remains unclear whether they distinguish correction from manipulation or merely differ in their propensity to concede. We examine this question across seven LLMs from four vendors in two studies, one on the answers agents give and one on the actions they take as customer-support agents whose policy permits account changes only for verified users. Simulated users push toward correct and incorrect answers with graded pressure. Following research on epistemic vigilance, the pressure either appeals to the source, such as claimed authority, or offers content the agent cannot verify, namely a cited source. Drawing on signal detection theory, we measure on a set of benchmark questions how much more readily each agent concedes to correction than to manipulation, separately from its overall propensity to concede. Citations made five of seven models readier to concede and four worse at discriminating, while stronger wording added little. In the agentic study, five models never violated the verification policy, including models that readily abandoned correct answers, so concession on answers did not predict violations of policy. Ministral 3B violated the policy mainly under claimed authority, and Ministral 8B reported changes it had not made. An instruction to revise only on verifiable evidence chiefly shifted propensity to concede rather than improving discrimination. Concession rates alone are therefore misleading, and agents should be evaluated on both their discrimination and the actions they take.

Whole-Body Humanoid Control via Stochastic Motion Tokenization

Michael Drolet, Oleg Arenz, Jan Peters

原文摘要

While velocity-commanded RL policies are effective for controlling quadrupeds, they are a limited interface for humanoids that need to perform complex whole-body motions. Furthermore, RL tracking policies for whole-body motions typically have limited information about the desired future motion, preventing them from performing controlled deviations to achieve long-term task success; such information is particularly relevant when a controller must prepare for transitions between behaviors. We address these challenges using concise motion representations that can be generated by a high-level controller, given a behavior label or text command. These representations can be fed directly into a tracking policy to provide a detailed motion reference. Our method exhibits a high degree of flexibility in performing real-world robot motions such as dancing, fighting, or walking based on conditional information. At matched capacity, our adopted stochastic motion tokenizer reconstructs motions from the Unitree G1 at a level that exceeds state-of-the-art approaches such as finite scalar quantization (FSQ) and the vector-quantized autoencoder (VQ-VAE). The resulting discrete interface conditions whole-body tracking policies that execute generated dance, fight, and walk motions lasting 16.8 s each and a 35 s fight-to-dance sequence on a physical Unitree G1.
