The brain maintains stable cognition despite continuously changing neural activity. How to extract stable cognitive states from variable neural observations remains a central problem in neural decoding. Existing neural decoding methods map neural observations to predefined external labels based on the stimulus-response...

Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) increasingly incorporate explainable reasoning for emotion understanding. However, reasoning based mainly on observable affective cues can reduce emotion understanding to superficial cue-label associations, giving rise to the Clever Hans effect. Such shortcuts become unre...

Hallucination remains a significant challenge in Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs). Existing training-free methods generally mitigate hallucinations through contrastive decoding or visual enhancement, often increasing the relative influence of visual evidence during generation. This raises a fundamental question: Ca...

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly embedded as components in software systems, marketed under labels such as chatbot, copilot, retrieval-augmented generation, workflow, coding agent and AI agent. Whether these labels denote genuine architectural forms or serve as branding has not been assessed systematically...

A benchmark for predicting final output and checkpoint state from source and input alone, extends CRUXEval-style output prediction with paired shorter- and longer-trace inputs and checkpoints inside and after a loop and exposes errors hidden by short-output scores alone.

Agent skills provide reusable guidance for code agents, but incomplete or unsuitable guidance can impair task execution. To reduce the manual effort of skill refinement, recent approaches use LLMs to generate revisions from execution feedback. However, grounding these revisions in explicit behavioral evidence remains c...
Reinforcement learning (RL) methods such as GRPO substantially improve large language model reasoning but often suffer from policy entropy collapse: the loss of sampling diversity weakens exploration and limits further improvement. Existing methods address this issue either through algorithm-level interventions, such a...

Object hallucination remains a major obstacle for large vision-language models (LVLMs) to generate reliable content. An intuitive mitigation strategy is to suppress hallucination-related components in hidden representations. However, these components may also contain useful information, and suppressing them can weaken...

While massive, closed-source Vision-Language Models (VLMs) set strong benchmarks for document understanding, their dependence on commercial APIs limits adoption in institutional archives due to data autonomy concerns, recurring costs, and the environmental footprint of hyperscale computing. This is especially acute in...

We present AuraLuxMuse, a novel system for automated aesthetic stage lighting design that integrates expert knowledge, representation learning, and preference-adaptive modeling. Lighting design in live performance settings requires the seamless translation of musical features into dynamic lighting behaviors. However, t...

Large language model (LLM) agents are beginning to operate industrial energy equipment, and what they get right depends on what they are told about the plant. Established building ontologies name many kinds of points across many sites, whereas an industrial equipment system needs few entities with much knowledge about...
Safety evaluations of large language models commonly summarize harmful-output behavior with attack success rate (ASR). Yet the same non-harmful outcome can arise for very different reasons. A model may recover a harmful task and refuse it, fail to recover the task, or respond to something else entirely. Distinguishing...
