Trust Region Q Adjoint Matching

This paper introduces Trust Region Q Adjoint Matching (TRQAM), a stable off-policy fine-tuning algorithm that adaptively controls the path-space KL between the fine-tuned and pretrained policies through projected dual descent, achieving stable off-policy RL.

VISTA: An End-to-End Benchmark for Visual Spec-to-Web-App Coding Agents

Coding agents can now build applications from design mockups, but a screen that looks right is not an application that works. Existing benchmarks either score visual reconstruction without a backend or test full-stack functionality from textual requirements, and few tie scores to the individual components a design requ...

ROAR: Retrieval Opportunity-Aware Refinement for Zero-Shot Time Series Forecasting

Retrieval augmentation provides time series forecasters with historical continuations, yet even candidates that outperform the base forecast may fail to improve the final prediction. We propose ROAR, a Retrieval Opportunity-Aware Refinement framework for zero-shot time series forecasting. To better exploit these improv...

The Distillation Game: Adaptive Evaluations & Efficient Defenses

Distillation attacks create a deployment trade-off for model providers: the same outputs that make a model more useful can also make it easier to imitate. We study this trade-off through a minimax game between a utility-constrained teacher and an adaptive student. Our framework yields tractable one-sided response rules...

4D-GSW: Kinematic-Aware Spatio-Temporal Consistent Watermarking for 4D Gaussian Splatting

While 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) has revolutionized high-fidelity dynamic reconstruction, safeguarding the intellectual property of these assets remains an open challenge. Conventional steganographic techniques often neglect the underlying kinematic manifolds, triggering non-physical artifacts such as severe temporal...

World-Ego Modeling for Embodied Video Generation in Long-Horizon Navigation-Manipulation Tasks

Embodied video world models typically capture both scene evolution and the robot's behavior, which we refer to as the \emph{world} and the \emph{ego}, respectively. The world and the ego exhibit different underlying dynamics: world prediction relies primarily on visual history and emphasizes scene stability, whereas eg...

Token by Token, Compromised: Backdoor Vulnerabilities in Unified Autoregressive Models

Unified autoregressive models (UAMs) are transformer models that generate text as well as image tokens within a single autoregressive pass. Shared parameters and a multimodal vocabulary simplify the training pipeline and facilitate flexible multimodal generation, yet might introduce new vulnerabilities. In particular,...

Self-Evolving Spatial Reasoning in Vision Language Models via Geometric Logic Consistency

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have made striking progress, yet their spatial reasoning remains fragile. Models that answer an original input correctly can still fail under valid transformations with predictable answer mappings, revealing a gap between instance-level correctness and robust spatial reasoning. To address...

Beyond Accuracy: Robustness, Interpretability and Expressiveness of EEG Foundation Models

EEG foundation models (EEG-FMs) have been evaluated predominantly on clean, in-distribution accuracy, demonstrating modest gains over supervised baselines and weak frozen representations. This study examines whether these conclusions hold beyond clean accuracy by evaluating six EEG-FMs and a supervised baseline across...

FeatCal: Feature Calibration for Post-Merging Models

Model merging combines task experts into one model and avoids joint training, retraining, or deploying many expert models, but the merged model often still underperforms task experts. We study this performance gap through feature drift, the difference between features produced by the merged model and by the expert on t...

DCVD: Dual-Channel Cross-Modal Fusion for Joint Vulnerability Detection and Localization

Software vulnerability detection plays a critical role in ensuring system security, where real-world auditing requires not only determining whether a function is vulnerable but also pinpointing the specific lines responsible. However, existing approaches either rely on a single information source -- sequential, structu...

APEX: Assumption-free Projection-based Embedding eXamination Metric for Generative Distribution Evaluation

APEX (Assumption-free Projection-based Embedding eXamination), a novel evaluation framework leveraging two open-vocabulary foundation models as feature extractors and the Sliced Wasserstein Distance as similarity measure, proves that it inherits effective scalability to high-dimensional spaces.
