Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve strong performance across many domains, but their efficiency is limited by the quadratic cost of attention with respect to prompt length. Sparse attention reduces this cost by retaining only a small fraction of query-key interactions to approximate the full attention matrix. However …

Higher-order models (e.g., hypergraph neural networks) often outperform lower-order baselines on hypergraph learning benchmarks, and their advantages are commonly attributed to their ability to exploit higher-order information. However, better performance alone does not establish this explanation. We therefore ask: Do …

The growing adoption of large language model (LLM) agents creates a need for network administrators and security teams to audit agent behavior within organizational networks without inspecting private user content. Network traffic offers an observable source of evidence, but how much it reveals about agent tasks and op …

Infrared (IR) imaging is crucial for autonomous driving, remote sensing, and other perception tasks. However, adverse weather may introduce fake structural responses that are entangled with real thermal structures. Existing IR restoration methods are typically designed for a single degradation type or directly reconstr …
