Diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in image generation, yet tracing their outputs to individual training examples remains challenging. Existing attribution methods often compress factor-specific effects into scalar responses, making distinct internal changes indistinguishable. This is particularly limiti …
We present a benchmark for predicting final output and checkpoint state from source and input alone. It extends CRUXEval-style output prediction with paired shorter- and longer-trace inputs and checkpoints inside and after a loop. The benchmark contains 400 cases from 371 Python and C++ programs, evaluated under seven …
Recursive self-improvement, the participation of AI systems in improving their own capabilities, is beginning to move from theoretical prospect to practice, posing both challenges and opportunities for safety alignment. Models evolve through frequent updates, and their safety alignment requires continual adaptation to …
Reinforcement learning (RL) for post-training large language models (LLMs) incurs substantial computation and memory overhead during rollout generation, which motivates low-precision rollout for efficient RL training. However, existing FP4 RL methods suffer from a key limitation: they primarily optimize quantization ac …
Virtual Model Control (VMC) is an approach to design a controller for force-controlled robots in complex uncertain environments. While this method was primarily investigated for legged robot locomotion in the past, it can be more generally applicable to other types of robotic systems. This paper investigates the VMC fr …
Agent skills package task-specific knowledge and procedures that can be composed to support complex agent tasks, while public marketplaces provide a growing pool of reusable skills. Existing security vetting, however, largely evaluates skills in isolation, leaving composition-induced risks underexplored. Such risks ari …
Pretrained world models can generate diverse environments, yet users often want to explore a particular scene specified by their own video. This requires learning the scene's visual identity while retaining the quality of action-conditioned generation. We introduce Personalized World Models (PWM), a framework for custo …
Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) can generate high-quality images and videos, but generating each sample requires multiple costly DiT forward passes. Two common ways to accelerate DiT sampling are step distillation, which reduces the number of sampling steps, and caching, which skips some DiT evaluations by reusing a tens …
Few-step autoregressive video generation enables efficient streaming synthesis, but errors introduced in early temporal blocks are reused as context and can propagate through subsequent rollouts, leading to detail degradation, structural drift, and unstable motion. Existing distribution matching distillation (DMD) prim …
Autoregressive models are trained to predict a system's behavior one step at a time, and recursive generation allows the learned dynamics to unfold over long horizons. To what extent can such dynamics learned from local observations recover broader organization of an underlying system that was only partially observed d …
Autoregressive video diffusion enables interactive streaming generation, but suffers from error accumulation over long rollouts. Self-rollout training reduces exposure bias, yet finite rollouts leave long-range drift unresolved. We observe that the noise level of the history key-value (K/V) representations trades visua …
Few-step streaming audio--video generation requires both causal modeling and step distillation, yet standard training recipes face two context-related challenges. Teacher forcing pairs clean history with a noisy target, but supervises predictive contextual representations only indirectly through velocity prediction. Me …
Long-term memory enables language models to use past interactions in future conversations. However, evidence needed to answer a question may be scattered across distant turns, while the question itself omits clues needed to locate it. Retrieved facts can reveal these clues, motivating retrieval decisions conditioned on …
Clinical CT and UHRCT cannot resolve individual trabeculae, whereas synchrotron radiation microCT (SRuCT) provides high-resolution references but is not applicable for in vivo imaging. The two domains differ by a 32x resolution gap, are only coarsely paired, and exhibit severe physical differences including partial vol …
Skeleton sequences can represent both individual actions and multi-entity interactions, encompassing human bodies, hands, objects, and robots. Existing approaches to recognize skeleton-based actions and interactions usually adopt a late fusion strategy, which expects individuals are independent and identically distribu …
Open-prompt detectors allow users to specify targets with text, visual exemplars, or both. We argue that existing designs underuse the visual modality in two ways. First, multiple exemplars are commonly compressed into a single class-level embedding. This textualizes visual prompting: the resulting vector plays the rol …
Resting-state functional connectivity (FC) is widely used to classify brain phenotypes and disorders. Most pipelines use the full connectome and seek gains through model design. We instead examine how FC geometry constrains classification and cross-site transfer. Across-subject FC variation concentrates in a small effe …
Hi-OPD addresses a failure mode left uncontrolled by flat open-prompt training: descendant retrieval need not persist under ancestor queries when multi-source remote sensing annotations exhibit inconsistent granularity and missing labels. A detector may localize \textit{car} and \textit{van} under atomic prompts yet mi …
Humans can seamlessly adapt to both physical and digital worlds, suggesting that while a digital-to-real gap exists in embodiment, environment and task, human intelligence itself may transfer across this gap. This naturally raises a fundamental question: can the intelligence of vision-language models (VLMs) similarly g …
