Affective computing has progressed from categorical emotion recognition to open-ended affective analysis with large multimodal models. Yet affective science describes emotion as an unfolding process shaped by appraisal, regulation, and social interpretation, which remains underexplored computationally. We propose TRACE …
When the harmfulness of an LLM agent's output can be quantified, a natural jailbreaking objective is to maximize expected harmfulness over admissible input modifications. An alternative approach constructs or selects harmful target outputs and modifies the input to increase their likelihood. We establish a precise conn …
Existing image forgery detectors often suffer from generalization to unseen manipulation methods due to the limited ability to capture transferable forensic cues. Recent cross-reconstruction based methods attempt to improve generalization through semantic-artifact disentanglement, but typically align heterogeneous arti …
Despite progress in vision-language models, 3D spatial reasoning from 2D images remains challenging. Text-based methods describe intermediate geometry with discrete tokens, limiting fidelity for continuous spatial relations. Continuous latents offer richer representations, but a single latent type does not explicitly s …
Recently, Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have revolutionized robotic manipulation by seamlessly integrating visual perception, language understanding, and action generation in an end-to-end learning framework. However, since these models are designed to interact directly with the physical world and humans, their s …
Repeated excavation continuously reshapes pile geometry, requiring an autonomous excavator to adapt its digging targets and coordinate motion across successive excavation cycles. We present a learning-based framework for continuous autonomous excavation that integrates terrain-aware target selection with reinforcement- …
