HyperClaim: Fine-Grained Cross-Modal Hypergraph Reasoning for Video Misinformation Detection

Video misinformation detection is often approached through global multimodal fusion or free-form multimodal reasoning. Both paradigms can under-represent localized authenticity cues that arise from coupled interactions among query phrases, contextual text, and short temporal spans of frames. Because such interactions are inherently higher-order, pairwise graph formulations are insufficient to capture multi-way cross-modal dependencies, whereas hypergraphs offer a suitable representation for these relations. We propose HyperClaim, a discriminative temporal hypergraph framework for sample-level authenticity classification. Using the title or benchmark-provided paired text as a claim-like query, HyperClaim constructs a sparse heterogeneous hypergraph over query tokens, evidence tokens, and sampled frames; applies confidence-aware filtering and source budgeting to form compact text-frame and short-range temporal evidence units; performs adaptive soft-incidence reasoning with residual text-video calibration; and aggregates textual, visual, and hyperedge states through a discrepancy-aware readout. Without relying on generated rationales or external tool calls, HyperClaim preserves fine-grained cross-modal and temporal structure that global fusion tends to flatten. Under the FactGuard temporal protocol, it achieves 83.7%, 82.0%, and 87.3% accuracy on FakeSV, FakeTT, and FakeVV, respectively, outperforming strong discriminative and reasoning-centric baselines. Learned incidence and attention weights further reveal token- and frame-level structure.

StateBridge: Training-free Hidden-state Alignment for Latent Communication in LLM Multi-Agent Systems

Large language model based multi-agent systems usually communicate in text, i.e., using discrete tokens. However, text introduces a discrete bottleneck. Converting the sender's continuous hidden states into discrete tokens discards information that token identities alone cannot capture. Recent work proposes latent communication as an alternative, where agents transmit hidden representations directly without converting them to text. However, existing latent methods either inject working memory layer by layer across the transformers, or require trained projectors that limit portability. We propose StateBridge, a training-free latent communication approach that aligns the sender's final-layer hidden states to the receiver's input space via a closed-form orthogonal transformation. Lightweight norm calibration and vocabulary anchoring ensure compatibility with the pretrained input distribution. The aligned states are prepended to the input of the receiver agent as a continuous prefix. We evaluate StateBridge on math reasoning, code generation, and question answering with four models from two families. StateBridge achieves the best or tied-best score on 22 out of 26 model-task pairs, consistently outperforming the strongest baseline.
