Towards Robust Speech Deepfake Detection via Human-Inspired Reasoning

The modern generative audio models can be used by an adversary in an unlawful manner, specifically, to impersonate other people to gain access to private information. To mitigate this issue, speech deepfake detection (SDD) methods started to evolve. Unfortunately, current SDD methods generally suffer from the lack of g...

RAC: Rectified Flow Auto Coder

In this paper, we propose a Rectified Flow Auto Coder (RAC) inspired by Rectified Flow to replace the traditional VAE: 1. It achieves multi-step decoding by applying the decoder to flow timesteps. Its decoding path is straight and correctable, enabling step-by-step refinement. 2. The model inherently supports bidirecti...

Dissecting Quantization Error: A Concentration-Alignment Perspective

Quantization can drastically increase the efficiency of large language and vision models, but typically incurs an accuracy drop. Recently, function-preserving transforms (e.g. rotations, Hadamard transform, channel-wise scaling) have been successfully applied to reduce post-training quantization error, yet a principled...

Same Pieces, Different Servers: A Tetris Benchmark for AI Agents as Served

An agent meets a model as served: through an endpoint with a price card, a shared cache and other tenants, or on whatever hardware a self-hosted model runs. Benchmarks rank the weights. We introduce a Tetris benchmark that measures what agents get from models as served: every move is scored against an oracle, and every...

VIRENA: Virtual Arena for Research, Education, and Democratic Innovation

Digital platforms shape how people communicate, deliberate, and form opinions. Studying these dynamics has become harder because of restricted data access, ethical limits on real-world experiments, and the technical demands of existing research tools. VIRENA (Virtual Arena) is a platform for controlled experiments in r...

Routing-Aware Safety Alignment for Mixture-of-Experts Models

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models introduce unique challenges for safety alignment due to their sparse routing mechanisms, which can enable degenerate optimization behaviors under standard full-parameter fine-tuning. In our preliminary experiments, we observe that naively applying full-parameter safety fine-tuni...

De-occluding broadband metalens

Obstructions such as raindrops, fences, or dust degrade captured images, especially when mechanical cleaning is infeasible. Conventional solutions to obstructions rely on a bulky compound optics array or computational inpainting, which compromise compactness or fidelity. Metalenses composed of subwavelength meta-atoms...

FlashMoE: Reducing SSD I/O Bottlenecks via ML-Based Cache Replacement for Mixture-of-Experts Inference on Edge Devices

Recently, Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have gained attention for efficiently scaling large language models. Although these models are extremely large, their sparse activation enables inference to be performed by accessing only a fraction of the model at a time. This property opens the possibility of on-device infere...

Vulnerability of LLMs' Stated Beliefs? LLMs Belief Resistance Check Through Strategic Persuasive Conversation Interventions

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly employed in various question-answering tasks. However, recent studies showcase that LLMs are susceptible to persuasion and could adopt counterfactual beliefs. We present a systematic evaluation of LLM susceptibility to persuasion under the \emph{Source--Message--Channel--Re...

ATOD: An Evaluation Framework and Benchmark for Agentic Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems

Agentic task-oriented dialogue (TOD) requires systems to track concurrent goals, dependencies, and long-horizon state. We examine goal-lifecycle recovery from fixed dialogue trajectories. ATOD contains 1,000 synthetic dialogues annotated for six advanced-TOD properties, and ATOD-Eval defines metrics for dependency-sens...

Symphonym: Universal Phonetic Embeddings for Cross-Script Toponym Matching

Matching place names across writing systems is a persistent obstacle to integrating multilingual geographic sources, from modern gazetteers to medieval itineraries and colonial-era surveys. Existing approaches rely on language-specific phonetic algorithms or on romanisation that discards phonetic information, and none...

Memory as Resonance: A Biomimetic Architecture for Infinite Context Memory on Ergodic Phonetic Manifolds

The memory of contemporary Large Language Models is bound by a physical paradox: as they learn, they fill up. The linear accumulation (O(N)) of Key-Value states treats context as a warehouse of static artifacts, eventually forcing a destructive choice between amnesia and latency. We challenge this discrete orthodoxy, p...

Who we become when we talk to machines

Professor Sherry Turkle’s new book, “Artificial Intimacy,” offers a withering critique of chatbots and the antisocial dynamics she believes they encourage.
