Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models leveraging the native autoregressive paradigm of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated superior instruction-following and training efficiency. Central to this paradigm is action tokenization, yet its design has primarily focused on reconstruction fidelity, failing to addres...

LLM inference is inherently expensive, even a modest slowdown can translate into substantial operating costs and severe availability risks. Recently, a growing body of research known as latency attacks focuses on crafting inputs to trigger worst-case output lengths. However, we report a contrary finding that these algo...

Acute ischemic stroke requires rapid treatment decisions that are strongly guided by emergency imaging. Admission computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is commonly used to estimate the ischemic core, representing irreversibly damaged tissue, and the penumbra, representing hypoperfused but potentially salvageable tissue....

We present a data poisoning attack -- Phantom Transfer -- with the property that, even if you know precisely how the poison was placed into an otherwise benign dataset, you cannot filter it out. We achieve this by modifying subliminal learning to work in real-world contexts and demonstrate that the attack works regardl...

Transitioning Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) from offline to online streaming video understanding is essential for continuous perception. However, existing methods lack flexible adaptivity, leading to irreversible detail loss and context fragmentation. To resolve this, we propose FreshMem, a Frequency-Space H...

Preference-based reinforcement learning (PBRL) offers a promising alternative to explicit reward engineering by learning from pairwise trajectory comparisons. However, real-world preference data often comes from heterogeneous annotators with varying reliability; some accurate, some noisy, and some systematically advers...

Data contamination can invalidate benchmark evaluation when a model benefits from memorized evaluation content rather than genuine generalization. Yet contamination is difficult to audit when the exposed content differs in language from the evaluation benchmark. We study this failure mode by deliberately exposing four...
SHAP explanations are widely used in high-stakes settings to justify decisions, yet they can differ substantially across repeated runs, even when the model, the input instance, and the prediction are held fixed. Prior work has documented disagreement between explanation methods; we show that substantial disagreement ar...

MRI sequence synthesis aims to recover missing image contrast while preserving patient-specific anatomy. The choice of generation mechanism affects both optimization and the way source information reaches the synthesized image. In this study, we propose SRUG, a supervised standalone fusion-driven generator that learns...

Colonoscopic Polyp Re-Identification (ReID) aims to match the same polyp across a large gallery of images captured from different viewpoints and with different cameras, playing a critical role in computer-aided diagnosis for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. However, the coarse granularity of high-leve...

Reliable estimation of feature contributions in machine learning models is essential for transparency, algorithmic fairness, and regulatory compliance. While permutation feature importance is widely used, classical implementations rely on repeated Monte Carlo shuffling, introducing significant computational overhead an...
Score-based diffusion models have emerged as a powerful class of generative methods, with successful applications across diverse domains. Despite their empirical success, their mathematical foundations remain only partially understood, particularly regarding the stability and consistency of the stochastic and partial d...
