Backdoor-defense leaderboards print a clean-accuracy drop and read it as removal cost. Measured on the poisoned victim alone, the drop cannot separate removal from what the defense does to any model, and inherits the victim's start, which for three of BackdoorBench's sixteen attacks is a configuration file: WaNet, BPP …
Implicit neural representations (INRs) provide a flexible framework for modeling high-dimensional continuous fields, but their training is often inefficient due to uniform subsampling that ignores spatial heterogeneity. Existing adaptive sampling methods partially address this issue by prioritizing high-error samples, …
While recent video foundation models excel at generating high-quality short videos, long-form video generation remains a critical challenge, where a major bottleneck lies in conditioning independently generated shots to preserve consistent characters, scenes, and objects throughout a story. Existing training-free appro …
Modern LLM agents increasingly tackle complex tasks through interactive, long-horizon exchanges with users, while existing benchmarks generally assume that users always accurately and sufficiently communicate a fixed intent. However, this oracle communication assumption rarely holds in practice: users may miscommunicat …
Vision-language-action (VLA) models using discrete action tokens have proven effective for controling robotic arms on manipulation tasks. For a humanoid, however, the whole-body action space -- legs, torso, arms, and hands -- is far higher-dimensional and heterogeneous, raising tokenization, training, and real-time inf …
As language models (LMs) exhibit increasingly consciousness-like behaviors, evaluating their cognitive abilities becomes essential. We introduce AwarenessBench, the first comprehensive benchmark for assessing the cognitive abilities of LMs in four dimensions: metacognition, self-awareness, social awareness, and situati …
World-action models give visual navigation agents a way to anticipate how candidate actions will change future observations and to act from the predicted consequences. For drones, this capability must operate under tight accuracy and efficiency constraints. We present DroneWAM, an efficient world-action model for drone …
An agent can complete a task while exhibiting undesirable behavior during execution. Developers need tests for the specific behaviors encountered in deployment, beyond fixed benchmark suites. We present TraceDance, an agent system that constructs targeted benchmarks from deployment traces for user-specified undesirable …
