Lifelong Person Re-Identification (LReID) extends traditional ReID by requiring systems to continually learn from non-overlapping datasets across different times and locations, adapting to new identities while preserving knowledge of previous ones. Existing approaches, either rehearsal-free or rehearsal-based, still suffer from the problem of catastrophic forgetting since they try to cram diverse knowledge into one fixed model. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a novel framework AdalReID, that adopts knowledge adapters and a parameter-free auto-selection mechanism for lifelong learning. Concretely, we incrementally build distinct adapters to learn domain-specific knowledge at each step, which can effectively learn and preserve knowledge across different datasets. Meanwhile, the proposed auto-selection strategy adaptively calculates the knowledge similarity between the input set and the adapters. On the one hand, the appropriate adapters are selected for the inputs to process ReID, and on the other hand, the knowledge interaction and fusion between adapters are enhanced to improve the generalization ability of the model. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the superiority of our AdalReID, which significantly beats SOTAs by about 5\% and 3\% mAP on seen and unseen domains.

Medical vision-language models (VLMs) show strong performance in radiology report generation (RRG) and medical visual question answering (Med-VQA), producing free-form clinical descriptions and answers from medical images. However, they may generate clinically meaningful statements that lack visual evidence or contradict image content. We refer to these errors as visually irrelevant hallucinations and investigate them at the phrase level. We propose CLEAR (Counterfactual Localized Evaluation of Alignment and Response), a model-agnostic post-hoc framework for phrase-level hallucination risk estimation. CLEAR decomposes generated responses into visually assessable clinical phrases. For each phrase, phrase-conditioned grounding identifies a candidate visual region, which is selectively perturbed by a localized counterfactual intervention. CLEAR characterizes the intervention using two complementary auditing cues: response cues, capturing semantic and clinically meaningful changes in the generated response, and alignment cues, measuring changes in image-phrase compatibility. These cues are normalized and jointly modeled to estimate phrase-level hallucination risk. Across four datasets spanning RRG and Med-VQA, CLEAR outperforms state-of-the-art hallucination detection baselines across multiple medical and general-purpose VLMs. On MIMIC-CXR, CLEAR improves AUPRC from 85.10% to 90.23%. Its effectiveness is further validated on a GT-derived controlled VIH benchmark. These results establish visually irrelevant hallucination as an important fine-grained reliability failure mode in medical VLMs and demonstrate the value of model-agnostic visual-support auditing for more trustworthy multimodal clinical generation.

We introduce AEGIS, A holistic benchmark for Evaluating forensic analysis of AI-Generated academic ImageS. Compared to existing benchmarks, AEGIS features three key advances: (1) Domain-Specific Complexity: covering seven academic categories with 39 fine-grained subtypes, exposing intrinsic forensic difficulty, where even GPT-5.1 reaches 48.80% overall performance and expert models achieve only limited localization accuracy (IoU 30.09%); (2) Diverse Forgery Simulations: modeling four prevalent academic forgery strategies across 25 generative models, with 11 yielding average forensic accuracy below 50%, showing that forensics lag behind generative advances; and (3) Multi-Dimensional Forensic Evaluation: jointly assessing detection, reasoning, and localization, revealing complementary strengths between model families, with multimodal large language models (MLLMs) at 84.74% accuracy in textual artifact recognition and expert detectors peaking at 79.54% accuracy in binary authenticity detection. By evaluating 25 leading MLLMs, nine expert models, and one unified multimodal understanding and generation model, AEGIS serves as a diagnostic testbed exposing fundamental limitations in academic image forensics.
