Where Is the "Self" of a Large Language Model? -- From Self-Index to Self-Reference

Yuchen Li, Xintong Li, Zongqi Fan, Ken-tye Yong, Nguyen H. Tran

原文摘要

Whether a large language model has a self is usually argued without a way to measure it. We measure a functional self with two levels familiar from biology: a self-index, which marks material as the model's own, as animals tag self-generated signals with a corollary discharge, and self-reference, the ability to recognize what is one's own, as in mirror self-recognition. Our main finding is that language models mark their own messages internally and that recognizing them depends on this mark: no model we tested recognizes its own messages without it, and in the four models we edited, changing the mark removes or creates the recognition. With the same text placed in an Assistant, a User, or a System message of its chat template, Qwen3.8-27B separates its own message from both external ones at all 64 layers and in every held-out text. Asked who wrote a message, it answers "you" with probability 0.77 for its own messages and at most 0.07 for the others. Setting eight coordinates per layer, along which its own message differs most from the same text as a User message, to their User values lowers the rate of "you" to at most 0.05, and the reverse edit makes the model claim a User message, closing at least 41% of the gap. Random directions do neither, and answers about the content stay unchanged. This holds in Qwen3.8-27B without and with thinking, gpt-oss-20b, gpt-oss-120b, and MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B. Across twenty-five open-weight models from fourteen developers, the two levels are nested: no model recognizes its own messages without a self-index (permutation p = 0.004). Without any question, next-token prediction on the model's own message differs from that on the same text in another role, more so as more layers carry the self-index (Spearman rho = 0.82), and the same coordinates carry this difference. These results support the account that self-reference is a readout of a self-index.

TERM: Target-Free Jailbreak Defense via Entropy-Guided Residual Modulation

Yunkai Dang, Wanyu Zhang, Meiyi Zhu, Qi Fan, Tianyu Ding, Wenbin Li

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong capabilities across diverse applications, making both safety and utility essential for reliable deployment. Jailbreak attacks use diverse forms of adversarial prompting to bypass alignment safeguards and induce LLMs to generate harmful responses. Some representation-based defenses regulate internal activations using predefined steering directions or learned safety regions. However, adapting intervention to each input without a predefined representational target while limiting over-refusal remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose Target-free Entropy-guided Residual Modulation (TERM), an inference-time defense that uses prompt-calibrated attention entropy deviations to guide adaptive modulation of the model's own residual updates. Attention patterns vary across prompts and decoding steps, making raw entropy values difficult to interpret as a consistent signal for intervention. We therefore calibrate attention entropy against each prompt's own prefill baseline to establish an input-specific reference for reducing unnecessary intervention on benign requests. Adaptive scale normalization and temporal accumulation then account for differences in deviation scale and persistence to determine intervention strength. The resulting signal controls bounded scaling of the model's own residual updates, without relying on a predefined safety direction. We compare our method with seven defenses on seven jailbreak attacks and two over-refusal benchmarks across Llama, Qwen, and Gemma models, including Qwen3 models from 0.6B to 32B. Results show our method improves jailbreak robustness while maintaining low over-refusal on benign safety-sensitive requests with modest inference overhead.

ReMem: Rethinking Perception and Memory in Long-Context Recommendation Agents

Haohao Qu, Yongcheng Jing, Chun Hin Chan, Shanru Lin, Wenqi Fan, Dacheng Tao

原文摘要

Recent Recommendation Agents (RecAgents) offer a promising alternative by shifting recommendation to an active, user-side paradigm, where generative agents autonomously perceive web platforms, reason over user preferences, and execute decisions. However, existing RecAgents still suffer from two critical limitations: brittle item perception based on noisy item pages, and inefficient long-context reasoning over extended user histories and multi-step interaction traces. To address these challenges, we propose a recommendation-agent framework, termed ReMem, that combines OCR-based multimodal perception with time-evolving dynamic memory. Instead of parsing raw HTML, ReMem observes item-page screenshots and uses an OCR tool to produce structured textual evidence for the reasoning backbone. To support long-horizon preference modeling, ReMem further introduces a chunk-wise sequential update strategy that maintains a bounded textual memory while processing histories longer than the backbone context window; with fixed chunk and memory budgets, the number of update calls grows linearly with history length. This design allows the agent to preserve evolving user preferences without relying on external memory modules or disrupting the standard autoregressive generation process. To train the dynamic memory updater, we further develop a multi-memory GRPO variant whose reward combines recommendation-specific information with final-task metrics. Experiments on three Amazon-derived datasets and a controlled post-retrieval protocol show an average relative improvement of 7.58% over the strongest reported baseline across searching, ranking, and judging tasks.

Honeyval: A Comprehensive Evaluation Framework for LLM-powered HTTP Honeypots

Mark Vero, Fabian Kaczmarczyck, Ivan Petrov, Ilia Shumailov, Jamie Hayes, Niels Heinen, Tianqi Fan, Luca Invernizzi 等 9 位作者

原文摘要

Honeypots are decoy systems mimicking real system components designed to defend against cyber attacks. Recently, LLMs increasingly serve as simulation backbones for honeypots. They enable defenders to construct high-interaction honeypots with low system security risks. However, LLM-powered honeypot development lacks a unified evaluation framework. Most evaluations consist of measuring response similarity on fixed commands, manual testing, or real-world deployment. These methods are often not scalable for development, reproducible across evaluations, representative of practical attacks, or adaptable to various attacker and honeypot configurations. In this work, we bridge this gap and propose Honeyval, a comprehensive evaluation framework for LLM-powered HTTP honeypots. We address the limitations of prior evaluations by grounding the honeypots in 16 backend applications, using AI hacking agents as attackers, employing two control tasks to monitor agent and honeypot capabilities across customizations, and defining clear and verifiable exploit goals for the attacker. Using Honeyval, we conduct an extensive evaluation of recent cost-efficient LLMs as HTTP honeypots. Our experiments highlight the promise of LLM-powered honeypots; they lead to substantially longer interactions with the attacker than rule-based baseline honeypots and are far less frequently detected even by frontier models, all while, on average, preserving a running cost advantage against agentic attackers. Further, we experiment with various honeypot extensions and counter-offensive configurations, observing unique trade-offs, e.g., lower latency at the price of increased detection.

Why Does Train-Validation Separation Emerge? Update-Pressure Density Dynamics in Pretrained Backbones

Yuchen Li, Zongqi Fan, Ken-Tye Yong, Nguyen H. Tran

原文摘要

During fine-tuning, training accuracy often continues to improve after validation accuracy levels off, widening the empirical gap. We propose a support-transfer account: early updates reuse broadly shared structure, while later fitting relies increasingly on narrower structure with less benefit for held-out examples. From fixed training probes, we normalize per-example gradient magnitudes and measure their pooled dispersion, $D_{\mathrm{den}}$, and their probe-count-weighted within-class dispersion, $D_{\mathrm{within}}^{\mathrm{wt}}$. A local model gives conditions for dispersion and directional cross-entropy separation to grow together, separating uniform logit scaling; additional decision-boundary conditions characterize accuracy-gap growth. A controlled five-level hierarchy tests the effect of sample-private support. A 240-branch intervention matrix crosses training-progress anchors, batch sizes, private shares, and gradient-differentiation doses. The negative gap dose response is clearer at later training stages and is retained across the four batch sizes. A further 48 branches replicate its direction across additional seeds at a fixed stage and batch. Both normalized readouts are positively associated with the accuracy gap in all 90 language fine-tuning runs across three backbones and six tasks. The same direction holds in all 20 vision runs across four datasets. Together, the controlled hierarchy, targeted intervention, and real-model trajectories support a connection between evolving gradient differentiation and train-validation separation.

Segmenting Geometric Textures of 3D Meshes

Weidan Xiong, Kaijie Qu, Shihao Feng, Shunqi Fan, Rongyu Xiong, Hui Huang

原文摘要

Recognizing geometric texture patterns on 3D models is critical for applications such as heritage protection, model editing, and 3D printing. Existing 3D model segmentation methods predominantly focus on identifying high-level semantic parts, thereby failing to capture middle-level textures. While recent Vision-Language Models can perform image segmentation with appropriate text prompts, they still struggle to recognize 3D geometric textures. In this work, we present a method that segments 3D mesh models based on middle-level geometric textures. We further introduce a new geometric texture segmentation benchmark and fine-tune SAM3 accordingly. The segmented texture regions are then clustered based on DINO feature similarity and lifted from 2D to 3D. Additionally, we develop an interactive tool to enable both 3D model editing based on our segmentation results and model retrieval from the dataset based on geometric and texture similarity. Experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing methods in segmenting geometric textures and can facilitate various applications.

查看原文摘要

Tree-based speculative decoding accelerates large language model inference by verifying multiple candidate branches in parallel. However, in practical serving scenarios, similar requests repeatedly induce overlapping candidate branches. While retrieval-based methods mitigate this by reusing historical drafts, the resulting candidate trees often contain many low-quality branches as the candidate tree grows, which reduces verification efficiency and wastes target-side computation. To address this, we propose ValuSpec, a plug-and-play candidate valuation mechanism that filters low-quality branches from a supplied candidate tree before expensive target-side verification. ValuSpec introduces transfer-based supervision to align filtering with the target model's behavior. A filtering threshold is estimated from the target model's greedy trajectories on a calibration split, without any parameter training. The target model then verifies the filtered tree under the output-identical greedy rule, so accepted tokens are guaranteed to match standard autoregressive decoding exactly. Experimental results on HumanEval, GSM8K, Dolly, and SpecBench show that, in our main evaluation, ValuSpec achieves up to 2.38x end-to-end speedup in retrieval-based tree settings. Furthermore, integrating ValuSpec into the EAGLE-3 dynamic tree framework yields up to 2.78x end-to-end speedup without modifying its tree construction strategy, demonstrating that ValuSpec serves as a generally applicable and plug-and-play candidate valuation module.

Structure-aware Reinforcement Learning for Protein Directed Evolution

Zikun Nie, Suyuan Zhao, Yizhen Luo, Siqi Fan, Zaiqing Nie

原文摘要

Protein optimization remains a longstanding goal in life sciences. Existing machine learning-assisted directed evolution (MLDE) methods primarily rely on sequence-only features, overlooking the critical spatial constraints and co-evolutionary interactions encoded in protein structures. However, directly integrating structural information remains challenging due to the scarcity of reliable mutant structures. To address these issues, we propose StructEvo, a novel structure-aware reinforcement learning framework for protein directed evolution. StructEvo employs a delta-structure fusion encoder to approximate mutant structure features via feature differences, enabling dynamic incorporation of spatial knowledge. The vast mutation space is then decomposed into manageable subspaces through a structure-aligned hierarchical action network, while a geometric constraint further stabilizes delta feature learning. Our approach outperforms prior state-of-the-art methods by 9.2% and 16.3% on two challenging optimization benchmarks, and further identifies an experimentally validated epistasis pattern in GFP, highlighting the importance of structural guidance for effective protein directed evolution.

Venus-DefakerOne2: A Vision-Forensics Foundation Model with Broader Coverage

Chenfan Qu, Yachao Liang, Mingqi Fang, Jiangwei Xie, Zhenming Wang, Baoyue Zhang, Changjiang Jiang, Zheng Chang 等 31 位作者

原文摘要

Real-world forgery is inherently heterogeneous: it manifests not only as digital manipulation but also as physical spoofing, and is carried not only by images but also by videos. Despite substantial progress, a unified anti-forgery foundation model covering such a broad threat spectrum remains absent. In this paper, we present Venus-DefakerOne2, which substantially extends the forensic capability boundary along both the forgery-form and media-type dimensions. Trained on tens of millions of open-source and in-house samples, it incorporates two key designs. Tide-Style-Tuning alternates LoRA and full-parameter fine-tuning to balance computational efficiency, generalization, and hard-sample fitting while mitigating catastrophic forgetting. Entropy-based Test Adaptation determines the optimal prediction modality by analyzing prediction entropy. Venus-DefakerOne2 achieves new state-of-the-art performance across a comprehensive suite of benchmarks, including DeepFake faces (96.7%), AI-generated images (93.3%), tampered documents (87.6%), manipulated natural images (89.6%), physical spoofs (93.1%), and AI-generated videos (96.0%). It significantly outperforms both specialized expert models and its predecessor, DefakerOne, establishing itself as a powerful and versatile foundation model for binary-decision forensic tasks.

Multi-Teacher Reasoning Distillation for LLM Recommendation with Self-Exploration

Liangbo Ning, Siyuan Liang, Yi Zhou, Yifeng Zhang, Qing Li, Wenqi Fan, Dacheng Tao

原文摘要

Reasoning-augmented recommender systems (RecSys) enhance user preference modeling by generating reasoning trajectories over historical interactions before making recommendations. Knowledge distillation provides a practical paradigm for transferring such reasoning capabilities from powerful large language models to lightweight RecSys. However, existing methods typically rely on a single fixed teacher, remain constrained by the teacher knowledge ceiling, and indiscriminately distill teacher-generated trajectories without assessing their actual utility for downstream recommendation. To address these limitations, we propose MUSE (Multi-Teacher Utility-guided Selection with Self-Exploration), an adaptive reasoning distillation framework that jointly improves reasoning generation and reasoning utilization. MUSE first constructs a diverse reasoning pool using multiple teacher LLMs and progressively augments it via student self-exploration, enabling the student to leverage the strengths of different teachers and gradually explore reasoning strategies beyond teacher imitation. We then develop Rank-Gain Utility Assessment (RGUA), which evaluates each candidate according to the normalized full-catalog rank improvement of the ground-truth item and identifies the most and least recommendation-beneficial trajectories. Based on these utility-aware trajectory pairs, we introduce dual-level contrastive learning objectives that guide the student generator to prefer beneficial reasoning while training the recommendation encoder to more effectively exploit recommendation-relevant preference evidence. Extensive experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed framework.

CLaW: Codec-Guided Adaptive Latent Watermarking for Traceable Diffusion Image Generation

Huangchao Song, Lingyun Yu, Cong Li, Peiqi Jiang, Mingqi Fang, Hongtao Xie

原文摘要

With the rapid advancement of text-to-image diffusion models, increasingly realistic AI-generated content has raised serious concerns about misuse and copyright infringement. Digital watermarking offers a promising solution by enabling user-level traceability, yet existing methods remain difficult to deploy at scale, hindered by costly model retraining or detection, poor effectiveness-fidelity trade-offs, and limited robustness to image transformations. To address these challenges, we propose CLaW (Codec-guided Latent Watermarking), a robust and efficient watermarking framework for traceable diffusion image generation with frozen diffusion backbones and inversion-free detection. Specifically, CLaW first uses a pretrained watermark codec to map each watermark message to a latent residual, enabling low-cost sampling-time injection. Then, the residual is injected within a late denoising window, where image semantics are better preserved and the watermark signal is less perturbed by subsequent denoising updates, yielding a better balance between watermark effectiveness and image fidelity. Furthermore, we introduce a decoder-guided adaptive injection mechanism that uses decoding confidence as feedback to dynamically calibrate watermark strength, reinforcing weak watermark signals and improving robustness under image transformations. Extensive experiments show that CLaW preserves high visual fidelity and achieves state-of-the-art robustness under image transformations, enabling reliable user-level traceability.

GCSR-OCC: Geometry Calibration and Semantic Routing for Open-Vocabulary Occupancy Prediction

Bohua Wang, Congyang Zhao, Tianxiong Lv, Chenxu Zhao, He Zheng, Hangqi Fan, Leigang Luo, Zhihao Liao 等 10 位作者

原文摘要

Open-vocabulary 3D occupancy prediction represents scene geometry and semantics in a unified voxel grid, enabling recognition beyond predefined categories. One approach reconstructs scenes with 3D Gaussians and converts them into voxel occupancy. However, Gaussian scale inflation and excessive overlap can distort voxel occupancy predictions, while semantic mixing can arise within Gaussians spanning multiple categories and during 3D--2D semantic feature alignment. We propose GCSR-OCC, which combines geometry calibration and multi-mode query-conditioned semantic routing for indoor occupancy prediction from a single RGB image. The Evidence-Conserving Gaussian-to-Occupancy operator (EC-G2O) uses kernel mass normalization, $p$-norm aggregation, and a learnable gain to suppress scale inflation and excessive local evidence accumulation while calibrating occupancy responses. Multi-mode Query-First Gaussian Semantic Routing (MM-QGSR) matches multiple semantic modes per Gaussian to text queries and aggregates query-specific evidence into voxels through a learnable text-conditioned router. Fine-grained subclass queries and smoothed semantic aggregation further refine voxel-level predictions. Without 3D semantic annotations, GCSR-OCC achieves state-of-the-art performance in open-vocabulary occupancy prediction on Occ-ScanNet, with 63.31% geometric IoU and 27.44% semantic mIoU. It also reduces geometric aggregation latency from 19.76 ms to 12.88 ms. Our code will be made publicly available.

If an LLM Were a Character, Would It Know Its Own Story? Evaluating Lifelong Learning in LLMs

原文摘要

Large language models (LLMs) can carry out human-like dialogue, but unlike humans, they are stateless due to the superposition property. However, during multi-turn, multi-agent interactions, LLMs begin to exhibit consistent, character-like behaviors—hinting at a form of emergent lifelong learning. Despite this, existing benchmarks often fail to capture these dynamics, primarily focusing on static, open-ended evaluations. To address this gap, we introduce LifeState-BENCH, a benchmark designed to assess lifelong learning in LLMs. It features two episodic datasets—Hamlet and a synthetic script collection—rich in narrative structure and character interactions. Our fact-checking evaluation probes models’ self-awareness, episodic memory retrieval, and relationship tracking, across both parametric and non-parametric approaches. Experiments on models like Llama3.1-8B, GPT-4-turbo, and DeepSeek R1, we demonstrate that non-parametric methods significantly outperform parametric ones in managing stateful learning. However, all models exhibit challenges with catastrophic forgetting as interactions extend, highlighting the need for further advancements in lifelong learning.

When Efficiency Becomes a Vulnerability: Computational Cost Attacks on WebAgents

Liang-Bo Ning, Yuchen Zhu, Heqing Huang City University of Hong Kong, Xin Wang, Yi Chang Jilin University, China, Li Qing, Wenqi Fan The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

原文摘要

WebAgents have demonstrated strong capabilities in autonomously completing complex web tasks, yet their computational efficiency vulnerabilities have received limited attention. Adversaries can inject malicious prompts into web pages, causing WebAgents to generate unnecessarily long reasoning processes and incur excessive computational cost, termed Computational Cost Attacks (CCA). In this paper, to systematically study this vulnerability under realistic black-box settings, we propose CostBomb, a generation-then-selection attack framework that leverages large language models to generate diverse adversarial prompts and a reinforcement learning–enhanced selector to identify the most effective perturbations. Extensive experiments on multiple real-world web benchmarks reveal that existing WebAgents are highly vulnerable to CCA, suffering substantial increases in computational cost without compromising successful task completion. Our findings highlight an overlooked dimension of WebAgent robustness and underscore the urgent need for efficiency-aware defenses.

CADMate: Generating CAD Assembly Plan with Geometric Chain-of-Thought and Spatial Physical Rewards

Jiali Chen, DingBa Fu, Xusen Hei, Yuhang Liu, Yiyang Chen, Jiayuan Xie, Wenqi Fan The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Yi Cai South China University of Technology

原文摘要

Computer-aided design (CAD) is crucial in prototyping complex 3D objects through precise geometric modeling. In practical design workflows, designers manually define assembly sequences for individual CAD parts, a process that is both time-consuming and expertise-intensive. To address this challenge, we formulate CAD assembly as a parametric action prediction task: given a reference design image and disassembled parts, the model predicts 6-DoF transformations (, actions) to progressively assemble each part. This paradigm enables multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to solve the task through autoregressive action generation. While recent MLLMs demonstrate promising spatial reasoning, they struggle with fine-grained geometric structure understanding and physical collision avoidance during assembly. In this paper, we propose CADMate, an MLLM-based framework for sequential CAD assembly action generation. Our training strategy comprises three stages: (i) CAD domain adaptation for spatial geometry and position understanding, (ii) supervised fine-tuning with geometric chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning for action generation, and (iii) reinforcement learning with spatial-physical rewards jointly optimize spatial accuracy and collision avoidance. Additionally, we also construct CADBuilder dataset, comprising over 45K CAD assemblies with annotated action sequences. Our experiments demonstrate that CADMate significantly outperforms existing prominent MLLMs (, GPT-5), showing great potential in design applications.

HiSVD: Principled Low-Rank Approximation of LLMs via Hierarchical Modeling of Information Capacity and Spectral Structure

Zhuo Chen, Minghao Li, Xiaoqian Ma Xiaohongshu, Siqi Fan University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Xiusheng Huang, Zhang Liujie Xiaohongshu, Weihang Chen

原文摘要

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) enables hardware-agnostic LLM compression via low-rank approximation, yet optimal rank allocation remains a bottleneck. Existing methods predominantly derive layer importance from performance-oriented proxies. Yet, these metrics fail to distinguish between representational importance and structural compressibility, consequently obscuring the fine-grained influence of spectral distribution shape. We demonstrate this disconnect through spectral analysis, revealing that layers with similar information capacity can exhibit markedly different singular value decay behaviors, corresponding to varying degrees of redundancy in the spectral tail. This imperfect coupling implies that allocation strategies driven solely by importance leave significant compression opportunities underexploited. To address this gap, we propose HiSVD, a hierarchical rank allocation framework with two stages: (1) Capacity-Anchored Baseline Allocation, which preserves representational stability by aligning rank budgets with information capacity; and (2) Redundancy-Aware Refinement, which modulates this baseline using tail redundancy to penalize structural excess. Experiments on LLMs demonstrate that HiSVD achieves superior compression efficiency, significantly outperforming state-of-the-art baselines by effectively exploiting this spectral heterogeneity.

ReRec: Reasoning-Augmented LLM-based Recommendation Assistant via Reinforcement Fine-tuning

Jiani Huang Hong Kong Polytechinic University, Shijie Wang The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Liang-Bo Ning, Wenqi Fan The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Li Qing

原文摘要

With the rise of LLMs, there is an increasing need for intelligent recommendation assistants that can handle complex queries and provide personalized, reasoning-driven recommendations. LLM-based recommenders show potential but face challenges in multi-step reasoning, underscoring the need for reasoning-augmented systems. To address this gap, we propose ReRec, a novel reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) framework designed to improve LLM reasoning in complex recommendation tasks. Our framework introduces three key components: (1) Dual-Graph Enhanced Reward Shaping, integrating recommendation metrics like NDCG@K with Query Alignment and Preference Alignment Scores to provide fine-grained reward signals for LLM optimization; (2) Reasoning-aware Advantage Estimation, which decomposes LLM outputs into reasoning segments and penalizes incorrect steps to enhance reasoning of recommendation; and (3) Online Curriculum Scheduler, dynamically assess query difficulty and organize training curriculum to ensure stable learning during RFT. Experiments demonstrate that ReRec outperforms state-of-the-art baselines and preserves core abilities like instruction-following and general knowledge. Our codes are available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/ReRec/.
