CANVAS: Consistency-Aware Navigation via Visual Adaptive Sampling for Long-Context Text-to-SVG Generation

Autoregressive large models have recently advanced Text-to-SVG generation from simple icons to complex, long-context graphics, yet standard autoregressive decoding often fails to maintain global consistency across geometry, layout, occlusion, and composition. We introduce CANVAS (Consistency-Aware Navigation via Visual Adaptive Sampling), a training-free, render-aware inference framework that combines power-sharpened trajectory likelihood with visual feedback from rendered futures and derives a stroke-wise navigation rule. It effectively estimates each candidate stroke's future value under a limited generation and rendering budget and adaptively allocates samples according to candidate uncertainty, decision influence, and rollout cost. Experiments across multiple autoregressive SVG backbones and complementary benchmarks demonstrate improvements in global consistency, which includes sound geometric relationships, spatial layouts, occlusion ordering, and overall composition, without additional training, demonstrating the effectiveness and generalization ability of our framework.

TUE-Detector: A Tool-Using Expert MLLM-Based Detector for AI-Generated Videos

AI-generated video detection, which aims to distinguish AI-generated videos from real ones, has recently received increasing research attention. To perform this task reliably, a key challenge lies in accurately identifying subtle-yet-measurable unnatural artifacts. In this work, we address this challenge from a novel perspective of tool-mediated evidence discovery and propose Tool-Using Expert MLLM-based AI-generated Video Detector (TUE-Detector), a novel framework for AI-generated video detection. TUE-Detector trains a general MLLM into a task-tailored tool-using expert detector that learns to invoke suitable tools, collect concrete evidence of unnaturalness, and reason over the evidence for reliable detection. Meanwhile, TUE-Detector further introduces novel designs to equip the expert detector with high-quality and suitable tools. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.

HRDiT: Training-Free High-Resolution Image Generation with Off-the-Shelf Diffusion Transformer Models

Training-free text-to-high-resolution image generation has recently attracted growing research attention. However, existing studies on this task primarily focus on adapting off-the-shelf U-Net-based diffusion models to high resolutions, with limited progress on adapting off-the-shelf Diffusion Transformer (DiT) models despite their strong text-to-image generation capabilities at limited resolutions. In this work, we find two key challenges particularly hindering the application of off-the-shelf DiT models for high-resolution image synthesis in a training-free manner, namely, spatial disorder and long generation time. To address these challenges, we propose a novel method tailored to adapt off-the-shelf DiT models for high-resolution image synthesis. Extensive experiments show the efficacy of our method. Our code is available at: https://github.com/zylwithxy/HRDiT.

Training-free Controllable Human Motion Generation under Heterogeneous Constraints

Training-free controllable motion generation has attracted growing interest for enabling flexible constraint enforcement without constraint-specific training. However, existing training-free methods require constraints to be continuous objective-based with differentiable losses, while many real-world requirements are criterion-based and provide only discontinuous, sparse, or even black-box feedback. In this paper, we propose Motion-Inference-as-Control (MIC), the first training-free motion generation framework that handles both continuous objective-based and criterion-based motion constraints under a shared mechanism. The key idea is to cast diffusion-based motion generation as a stochastic control problem. This perspective not only provides principled and practically effective step-wise control laws that support criterion-based constraints without requiring differentiability and naturally accommodate objective-based constraints as a special case, but also motivates a control-oriented constraint coordination mechanism that adaptively balances and reconciles motion constraints during generation. Experiments across diverse constraint settings demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.

NDPP-Grasp: Non-Differentiable Physical Plausibility Constraint-Guided Task-Oriented Dexterous Grasp Generation

Task-oriented dexterous grasp generation aims to produce dexterous grasp poses that are both physically plausible and functionally suitable for specified manipulation tasks. Existing diffusion-based methods often address these two requirements in a decoupled manner: they first train a grasp diffusion model for task alignment and then rely on post-generation refinement to improve physical plausibility. However, this after-the-fact correction strategy applies physical plausibility guidance only once the grasp has already been generated, leaving the generation trajectory itself unguided by physical constraints and potentially leading to suboptimal grasps. To address this problem, we propose a novel framework that directly injects physical plausibility guidance into the denoising process of a task-aligned grasp diffusion model in a practical and effective manner, even when physical plausibility constraints are non-differentiable. This allows physical plausibility to shape grasp generation throughout denoising while preserving task alignment. Extensive experiments demonstrate the efficacy of our framework.

ToolFG: Towards Well-Grounded Fine-Grained Image Classification

Fine-grained image classification (FGIC) has broad applications and has attracted significant research attention. In this paper, we explore a novel paradigm for solving FGIC by proposing \textbf{ToolFG}, the first tool-integrated MLLM-based framework tailored to FGIC. ToolFG enables MLLMs to autonomously and flexibly use external tools during the reasoning process, actively interact with images, and collect verifiable visual cues for distinguishing highly similar categories in a more \textit{reliable} and \textit{well-grounded} manner. To equip the model with such tool-use ability, we design a novel \textbf{MCTS-guided tool-use knowledge distillation mechanism}, which effectively mines tool-use- and FGIC-relevant knowledge from advanced proprietary MLLMs for model training. Furthermore, we propose a \textbf{model-tool co-evolution mechanism} that jointly refines the toolset and the model's tool-use policy, driving them toward a mutually adapted and FGIC-specialized state. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.

Translating Signals to Languages for sEMG-Based Activity Recognition

Surface electromyography (sEMG) signal-based activity recognition has attracted increasing research attention in recent years. To develop accurate sEMG signal-based activity recognizers, numerous approaches have been proposed. Some studies focus on designing larger and more expressive model architectures to enhance the representational capacity of sEMG signals, while others aim to enrich model priors through large-scale pretraining, thereby improving recognition performance. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable generalization and reasoning capabilities in natural language processing, whose implicit knowledge, learned from extensive linguistic descriptions of actions, opens new possibilities for interpreting sEMG signals and inferring activity intentions. Motivated by this, we propose LLM-sEMG, a novel framework that leverages LLMs as sEMG activity recognizers. Within this framework, we design a language-oriented mapping mechanism that converts continuous sEMG sequences into sEMG language, integrating several strategies to further facilitate the signal-to-language mapping process. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves highly accurate sEMG signal-based activity recognition using large language models.

New Wide-Net-Casting Jailbreak Attacks Risk Large Models

Jailbreak attacks on large models have drawn growing attention due to their close ties to societal safety. This work identifies a practical yet unexplored jailbreak scenario, the wide-net-casting scenario, where an adversary can query a group of large models instead of a single one to elicit harmful outputs. Our analysis reveals substantial yet previously overlooked safety risks under this scenario. As a key part of our analysis, we further develop a novel jailbreak method tailored to the wide-net-casting scenario. With this tailored method, the jailbreak success rate can even reach 100\% in some experiments when targeting the large models without additional safeguards, exposing wide-net-casting as a distinct, high-risk scenario that warrants attention in future evaluation and defense research.

MicroscopyMatching: Towards a Ready-to-use Framework for Microscopy Image Analysis in Diverse Conditions

Analyzing microscopy images to extract biological object properties (e.g., their morphological organization, temporal dynamics, and population density) is fundamental to various biomedical research. Yet conducting this manually is costly and time-consuming. Though deep learning-based approaches have been explored to automate this process, the substantial diversity of microscopy analysis settings in practice (including variations of biological object types, sample processing protocols, imaging equipment, and analysis tasks, etc.) often renders them ineffective. As a result, these approaches typically require extensive adaptation for different settings, which, however, can impose burdens that are often practically unsustainable for laboratories, forcing biomedical researchers to still commonly rely on manual analysis, thereby severely bottlenecking the pace of biomedical research progress. This situation has created a pressing and long-standing need for a reliable and broadly applicable microscopy image analysis tool, yet such a tool is still missing. To address this gap, we present the first ready-to-use microscopy image analysis framework, MicroscopyMatching, that can reliably perform key analysis tasks (including segmentation, tracking, and counting) across diverse microscopy analysis settings. From a fundamentally different perspective, MicroscopyMatching reformulates diverse microscopy image analysis tasks as a unified matching problem, effectively handling this problem by exploiting the robust matching capability from pre-trained latent diffusion models.

Is Monitoring Enough? Strategic Agent Selection For Stealthy Attack in Multi-Agent Discussions

Multi-agent discussions have been widely adopted, motivating growing efforts to develop attacks that expose their vulnerabilities. In this work, we study a practical yet largely unexplored attack scenario, the discussion-monitored scenario, where anomaly detectors continuously monitor inter-agent communications and block detected adversarial messages. Although existing attacks are effective without discussion monitoring, we show that they exhibit detectable patterns and largely fail under such monitoring constraints. But does this imply that monitoring alone is sufficient to secure multi-agent discussions? To answer this question, we develop a novel attack method explicitly tailored to the discussion-monitored scenario. Extensive experiments demonstrate that effective attacks remain possible even under continuous monitoring, indicating that monitoring alone does not eliminate adversarial risks.

When Visual Privacy Protection Meets Multimodal Large Language Models

The emergence of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) and the widespread usage of MLLM cloud services such as GPT-4V raised great concerns about privacy leakage in visual data. As these models are typically deployed in cloud services, users are required to submit their images and videos, posing serious privacy risks. However, how to tackle such privacy concerns is an under-explored problem. Thus, in this paper, we aim to conduct a new investigation to protect visual privacy when enjoying the convenience brought by MLLM services. We address the practical case where the MLLM is a "black box", i.e., we only have access to its input and output without knowing its internal model information. To tackle such a challenging yet demanding problem, we propose a novel framework, in which we carefully design the learning objective with Pareto optimality to seek a better trade-off between visual privacy and MLLM's performance, and propose critical-history enhanced optimization to effectively optimize the framework with the black-box MLLM. Our experiments show that our method is effective on different benchmarks.

Decentralized Autoregressive Generation

The decentralization of autoregressive generation has attracted considerable attention in recent years as a solution to scaling bottlenecks. However, despite promising empirical results, this paradigm currently lacks rigorous theoretical justification. In this work, we formally establish the theoretical equivalence between decentralized and centralized training. To achieve this, we adapt the Discrete Flow Matching framework for autoregressive generation, leveraging its inherent properties to demonstrate that global models naturally decompose into independent experts. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments across diverse multimodal benchmarks, empirically validating that decentralized training maintains competitive parity with standard centralized architectures.

Learning to Generate Cross-Task Unexploitable Examples

Unexploitable example generation aims to transform personal images into their unexploitable (unlearnable) versions before they are uploaded online, thereby preventing unauthorized exploitation of online personal images. Recently, this task has garnered significant research attention due to its critical relevance to personal data privacy. Yet, despite recent progress, existing methods for this task can still suffer from limited practical applicability, as they can fail to generate examples that are broadly unexploitable across different real-world computer vision tasks. To deal with this problem, in this work, we propose a novel Meta Cross-Task Unexploitable Example Generation (MCT-UEG) framework. At the core of our framework, to optimize the unexploitable example generator for effectively producing broadly unexploitable examples, we design a flat-minima-oriented meta training and testing scheme. Extensive experiments show the efficacy of our framework.

A Mixed-Primitive-based Gaussian Splatting Method for Surface Reconstruction

Recently, Gaussian Splatting (GS) has received a lot of attention in surface reconstruction. However, while 3D objects can be of complex and diverse shapes in the real world, existing GS-based methods only limitedly use a single type of splatting primitive (Gaussian ellipse or Gaussian ellipsoid) to represent object surfaces during their reconstruction. In this paper, we highlight that this can be insufficient for object surfaces to be represented in high quality. Thus, we propose a novel framework that, for the first time, enables Gaussian Splatting to incorporate multiple types of (geometrical) primitives during its surface reconstruction process. Specifically, in our framework, we first propose a compositional splatting strategy, enabling the splatting and rendering of different types of primitives in the Gaussian Splatting pipeline. In addition, we also design our framework with a mixed-primitive-based initialization strategy and a vertex pruning mechanism to further promote its surface representation learning process to be well executed leveraging different types of primitives. Extensive experiments show the efficacy of our framework and its accurate surface reconstruction performance.

TSTMotion: Training-free Scene-aware Text-to-motion Generation

Text-to-motion generation has recently garnered significant research interest, primarily focusing on generating human motion sequences in blank backgrounds. However, human motions commonly occur within diverse 3D scenes, which has prompted exploration into scene-aware text-to-motion generation methods. Yet, existing scene-aware methods often rely on large-scale ground-truth motion sequences in diverse 3D scenes, which poses practical challenges due to the expensive cost. To mitigate this challenge, we are the first to propose a \textbf{T}raining-free \textbf{S}cene-aware \textbf{T}ext-to-\textbf{Motion} framework, dubbed as \textbf{TSTMotion}, that efficiently empowers pre-trained blank-background motion generators with the scene-aware capability. Specifically, conditioned on the given 3D scene and text description, we adopt foundation models together to reason, predict and validate a scene-aware motion guidance. Then, the motion guidance is incorporated into the blank-background motion generators with two modifications, resulting in scene-aware text-driven motion sequences. Extensive experiments demonstrate the efficacy and generalizability of our proposed framework. We release our code in \href{https://tstmotion.github.io/}{Project Page}.

An Image-like Diffusion Method for Human-Object Interaction Detection

Human-object interaction (HOI) detection often faces high levels of ambiguity and indeterminacy, as the same interaction can appear vastly different across different human-object pairs. Additionally, the indeterminacy can be further exacerbated by issues such as occlusions and cluttered backgrounds. To handle such a challenging task, in this work, we begin with a key observation: the output of HOI detection for each human-object pair can be recast as an image. Thus, inspired by the strong image generation capabilities of image diffusion models, we propose a new framework, HOI-IDiff. In HOI-IDiff, we tackle HOI detection from a novel perspective, using an Image-like Diffusion process to generate HOI detection outputs as images. Furthermore, recognizing that our recast images differ in certain properties from natural images, we enhance our framework with a customized HOI diffusion process and a slice patchification model architecture, which are specifically tailored to generate our recast ``HOI images''. Extensive experiments demonstrate the efficacy of our framework.

CMMLoc: Advancing Text-to-PointCloud Localization with Cauchy-Mixture-Model Based Framework

The goal of point cloud localization based on linguistic description is to identify a 3D position using textual description in large urban environments, which has potential applications in various fields, such as determining the location for vehicle pickup or goods delivery. Ideally, for a textual description and its corresponding 3D location, the objects around the 3D location should be fully described in the text description. However, in practical scenarios, e.g., vehicle pickup, passengers usually describe only the part of the most significant and nearby surroundings instead of the entire environment. In response to this $\textbf{partially relevant}$ challenge, we propose $\textbf{CMMLoc}$, an uncertainty-aware $\textbf{C}$auchy-$\textbf{M}$ixture-$\textbf{M}$odel ($\textbf{CMM}$) based framework for text-to-point-cloud $\textbf{Loc}$alization. To model the uncertain semantic relations between text and point cloud, we integrate CMM constraints as a prior during the interaction between the two modalities. We further design a spatial consolidation scheme to enable adaptive aggregation of different 3D objects with varying receptive fields. To achieve precise localization, we propose a cardinal direction integration module alongside a modality pre-alignment strategy, helping capture the spatial relationships among objects and bringing the 3D objects closer to the text modality. Comprehensive experiments validate that CMMLoc outperforms existing methods, achieving state-of-the-art results on the KITTI360Pose dataset. Codes are available in this GitHub repository https://github.com/kevin301342/CMMLoc.

HyLiFormer: Hyperbolic Linear Attention for Skeleton-based Human Action Recognition

Transformers have demonstrated remarkable performance in skeleton-based human action recognition, yet their quadratic computational complexity remains a bottleneck for real-world applications. To mitigate this, linear attention mechanisms have been explored but struggle to capture the hierarchical structure of skeleton data. Meanwhile, the Poincar\'e model, as a typical hyperbolic geometry, offers a powerful framework for modeling hierarchical structures but lacks well-defined operations for existing mainstream linear attention. In this paper, we propose HyLiFormer, a novel hyperbolic linear attention Transformer tailored for skeleton-based action recognition. Our approach incorporates a Hyperbolic Transformation with Curvatures (HTC) module to map skeleton data into hyperbolic space and a Hyperbolic Linear Attention (HLA) module for efficient long-range dependency modeling. Theoretical analysis and extensive experiments on NTU RGB+D and NTU RGB+D 120 datasets demonstrate that HyLiFormer significantly reduces computational complexity while preserving model accuracy, making it a promising solution for efficiency-critical applications.
