QuoteBench: How Matched Scores Can Hide Command-Path Failures

Shangao Li, Yao Zhang, Volker Tresp, Yuanyuan Yang

LLM coding agents issue Bash commands through interfaces that may serialize, wrap, and reparse model output. Matched execution scores alone cannot distinguish command-generation errors from failures introduced after generation. QuoteBench measures this boundary with exact final-state validation on 56 one-shot tasks from 14 incident-derived families, crossing the generation contract with the execut...

SCULPT: Subtractive Composition for 3D Part Generation

Sikuang Li, Chen Yang, Jiemin Fang, Jiazhong Cen, Yuhe Wei et al.

Part-aware 3D generation aims to create digital assets that are coherent as complete objects while exposing structural parts for editing, material assignment, animation, and reuse. Existing methods impose this structure outside the native generation loop: segmentation-based methods partition an already generated shape, while additive methods synthesize parts from predefined layouts, boxes, or toke...

Edit2TikZ: A Comprehensive and Challenging Benchmark for Scientific Figure Editing with TikZ

Zongyun Zhang, Jiacheng Ruan, Xian Gao, Ruizhu Zhou, Lingcheng Meng et al.

Although multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown substantial potential in visual understanding and graphic code generation, editing scientific figures through code presents a greater challenge: a model must jointly recover visual structure, ground the requested change, generate compilable code, and preserve all unrelated content. While existing TikZ benchmarks mainly focus on figure re...

OmniScientist: An Omni-Modal Omni-Discipline AI Scientist

Bobo Li, Hao Fei, Tianjie Ju, Mong-Li Lee, Wynne Hsu

Recent advances in foundation models have enabled AI scientists to automate increasingly complete research workflows, from hypothesis generation and code execution to manuscript preparation. Yet workflow coverage alone does not provide access to the full evidence on which scientific discovery depends. Existing systems typically reason over text, code, labels, or precomputed summaries, leaving scie...

V-RAE: Rethinking Video Latent Spaces for Generation

Minghui Guo, Shengqiong Wu, Hao Fei

Latent video generation relies on autoencoders to define a compact space in which generative models operate. Although video autoencoder architectures have evolved substantially, their latent spaces are still optimized primarily for pixel-level reconstruction and provide limited high-level semantic organization. A reconstruction-optimal latent space, however, need not be well suited to generative m...

MapRoute++: Surrogate-Guided Semantic Routing for Visual Concept Unlearning

Ashok Urlana, L. D. M. S. Sai Teja, Vivek Hruday Kavuri, Ponnurangam Kumaraguru

We present our submission to Task 3 of the Gen$μ$ 2.0 Challenge on visual concept unlearning. Building on MapRoute, we introduce task-specific training objectives, richer concept representations, and semantic routing for concept-specific mapper selection. Our approach improves robust concept removal while preserving unrelated and semantically adjacent concepts. On the official benchmark, evaluated...

Concept Drift Detection and Adaptive Retraining of Malware Classification Models

Christofer Washington Berruz Chungata, Martin Jurecek, Katerina Potika, William B. Andreopoulos, Mark Stamp

Concept drift refers to changes over time in the statistical properties of data, as compared to the data that was used to train a learning model. Machine learning models for malware detection or classification are particularly susceptible to performance degradation caused by concept drift, as attackers constantly modify existing malware. In this chapter, we analyze two machine learning-based appro...

Rules or Character? Scaling Laws for AI Safety Design

Satoshi Takahashi, Nobuji Kouno, Masaaki Komatsu, Ryuji Hamamoto

Artificial Intelligence (AI) safety systems combine character shaping (e.g., Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback [RLHF], Constitutional AI), which modifies behavioral distributions at training time, with rule enforcement (e.g., output filters, safety classifiers), which blocks harmful outputs at inference time, yet little formal analysis exists on how their optimal balance should change as ...

Reasoning for Social Audio-Visual Question Answering: Where Do We Stand?

Koen P. de Vries, Xavier Alameda-Pineda, Estefanía Talavera, Stéphane Lathuilière

Training Multimodal Large Language Models for audio-visual social understanding is a crucial step toward embodied social intelligence. Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning has become the dominant approach, with HumanOmniV2 and its IntentBench benchmark as a prominent reference point. In this context, we report three findings. First, IntentBench is highly noisy: $\sim$7% of questions are broken and $\s...

CoverPrune: Coverage-Driven Token Pruning for 3D VLMs via Optimal Transport

Peng Ling, Yingda Yin, Lingting Zhu, Weikai Chen, Shengju Qian et al.

While 3D Vision-Language Models (3D VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable spatial reasoning capabilities, they suffer from massive visual token counts that create severe computational bottlenecks during inference. Existing token pruning methods primarily rely on diversity-based selection, discarding similar tokens to maximize dispersion. However, in 3D environments, this approach frequently drops rep...

HPSD: Hybrid-Policy Self-Distillation for Text-Image-to-Video Diffusion Models

Jiazi Bu, Pengyang Ling, Yujie Zhou, Yibin Wang, Yuhang Zang et al.

Text-Image-to-Video (TI2V) models are an emerging unified architecture, where a single model simultaneously supports text-to-video (T2V) and image-to-video (I2V) generation. Given a high-quality first frame or a detailed textual prompt, TI2V models unlock substantially better visual quality than their T2V mode, raising a natural question: can the capability elicited by such privileged conditions b...

Semantic Radiance Fields as Simulators for Spatial Reasoning in Real-World Scenes

Nico Heider, Michał Jan Włodarczyk, Katarzyna Wasielewska-Michniewska, Przemysław Hołda, Martin Schieck et al.

Training and evaluating spatial reasoning in embodied agents requires diverse environments that are both geometrically faithful and semantically queryable. Synthetic simulators offer ground truth semantics but sacrifice realism; simulators based on reconstructions of real-world environments have realistic appearance but lack ground truth semantics by default. We propose using Semantic Radiance Fie...

Sampling Luck Masquerades as Allocation Gain: Auditing Test-Time Budget Allocation for Neural Combinatorial Optimization

Jinhyung Bae

Neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) solvers report the best of many sampled solutions per instance, and the sample count is, by convention, identical for every instance. Whether a non-uniform allocation of a fixed total budget would buy anything has not been measured. We measure it, and we audit the measurement itself. First, on in-distribution workloads the allocation headroom is not detect...
