OmniVL-Guard: Towards Unified Vision-Language Forgery Detection and Grounding via Balanced RL

Existing forgery detection methods are often limited to uni-modal or bi-modal settings, failing to handle the interleaved text, images, and videos prevalent in real-world misinformation. To bridge this gap, this paper targets to develop a unified framework for omnibus vision-language forgery detection and grounding. In this unified setting, the {interplay} between diverse modalities and the dual requirements of simultaneous detection and localization pose a critical ``difficulty bias`` problem: the simpler veracity classification task tends to dominate the gradients, leading to suboptimal performance in fine-grained grounding during multi-task optimization. To address this challenge, we propose \textbf{OmniVL-Guard}, a balanced reinforcement learning framework for omnibus vision-language forgery detection and grounding. Particularly, OmniVL-Guard comprises two core designs: Self-Evolving CoT Generatio and Adaptive Reward Scaling Policy Optimization (ARSPO). {Self-Evolving CoT Generation} synthesizes high-quality reasoning paths, effectively overcoming the cold-start challenge. Building upon this, {Adaptive Reward Scaling Policy Optimization (ARSPO)} dynamically modulates reward scales and task weights, ensuring a balanced joint optimization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that OmniVL-Guard significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods and exhibits zero-shot robust generalization across out-of-domain scenarios. The dataset and code are publicly available at https://github.com/shen8424/OmniVL-Guard.

Xiaomi OneVL: One-Step Latent Reasoning and Planning with Vision-Language Explanation

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has become a powerful driver of trajectory prediction in VLA-based autonomous driving, yet its autoregressive nature imposes a latency cost that is prohibitive for real-time deployment. Latent CoT methods attempt to close this gap by compressing reasoning into continuous hidden states, but consistently fall short of their explicit counterparts. We suggest that this is due to purely linguistic latent representations compressing a symbolic abstraction of the world, rather than the causal dynamics that actually govern driving. Thus, we present OneVL (One-step latent reasoning and planning with Vision-Language explanations), a unified VLA and World Model framework that routes reasoning through compact latent tokens supervised by dual auxiliary decoders. Alongside a language decoder that reconstructs text CoT, we introduce a visual world model decoder that predicts future-frame tokens, forcing the latent space to internalize the causal dynamics of road geometry, agent motion, and environmental change. A three-stage training pipeline progressively aligns these latents with trajectory, language, and visual objectives, ensuring stable joint optimization. In inference, the auxiliary decoders are discarded, and all latent tokens are prefilled in a single parallel pass, matching the speed of answer-only prediction. Across four benchmarks, OneVL becomes the first latent CoT method to surpass explicit CoT, delivering superior accuracy at answer-only latency. These results show that with world model supervision, latent CoT produces more generalizable representations than verbose token-by-token reasoning. Code has been open-sourced to the community.

JURY-RL: Votes Propose, Proofs Dispose for Label-Free RLVR

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) enhances the reasoning of large language models (LLMs), but standard RLVR often depends on human-annotated answers or carefully curated reward specifications. In machine-checkable domains, label-free alternatives such as majority voting or LLM-as-a-judge remove annotation cost but can introduce false positives that destabilize training. We introduce JURY-RL, a label-free RLVR framework that decouples answer proposal from reward disposal: votes from model rollouts propose a candidate answer, and a formal verifier determines whether that candidate can receive positive reward. Concretely, only rollouts matching the plurality-voted answer are rewarded when that answer is successfully verified in Lean. When verification is inconclusive, we invoke ResZero (Residual-Zero), a fallback reward that discards the unverified plurality proposal and redistributes a zero-mean, variance-preserving signal over the residual answers. This design maintains a stable optimization gradient without reinforcing unverifiable consensus. Across three backbone models trained on mathematical data, JURY-RL consistently outperforms other label-free baselines on mathematical reasoning benchmarks and transfers competitively to code generation and general benchmarks. It attains pass@1 performance comparable to supervised ground-truth training, with superior generalization demonstrated by higher pass@k and response diversity.

IMU: Influence-guided Machine Unlearning

Machine Unlearning (MU) aims to selectively erase the influence of specific data points from pretrained models. However, most existing MU methods rely on the retain set to preserve model utility, which is often impractical due to privacy restrictions and storage constraints. While several retain-data-free methods attempt to bypass this using geometric feature shifts or auxiliary statistics, they typically treat forgetting samples uniformly, overlooking their heterogeneous contributions. To address this, we propose \ul{I}nfluence-guided \ul{M}achine \ul{U}nlearning (IMU), a principled method that conducts MU using only the forget set. Departing from uniform Gradient Ascent (GA) or implicit weighting mechanisms, IMU leverages influence functions as an explicit priority signal to allocate unlearning strength. To circumvent the prohibitive cost of full-model Hessian inversion, we introduce a theoretically grounded classifier-level influence approximation. This efficient design allows IMU to dynamically reweight unlearning updates, aggressively targeting samples that most strongly support the forgetting objective while minimizing unnecessary perturbation to retained knowledge. Extensive experiments across vision and language tasks show that IMU achieves highly competitive results. Compared to standard uniform GA, IMU maintains identical unlearning depth while enhancing model utility by an average of 30%, effectively overcoming the inherent utility-forgetting trade-off.

Enhanced Self-Supervised Multi-Image Super-Resolution for Camera Array Images

Conventional multi-image super-resolution (MISR) methods, such as burst and video SR, rely on sequential frames from a single camera. Consequently, they suffer from complex image degradation and severe occlusion, increasing the difficulty of accurate image restoration. In contrast, multi-aperture camera-array imaging captures spatially distributed views with sampling offsets forming a stable disk-like distribution, which enhances the non-redundancy of observed data. Existing MISR algorithms fail to fully exploit these unique properties. Supervised MISR methods tend to overfit the degradation patterns in training data, and current self-supervised learning (SSL) techniques struggle to recover fine-grained details. To address these issues, this paper thoroughly investigates the strengths, limitations and applicability boundaries of multi-image-to-single-image (Multi-to-Single) and multi-image-to-multi-image (Multi-to-Multi) SSL methods. We propose the Multi-to-Single-Guided Multi-to-Multi SSL framework that combines the advantages of Multi-to-Single and Multi-to-Multi to generate visually appealing and high-fidelity images rich in texture details. The Multi-to-Single-Guided Multi-to-Multi SSL framework provides a new paradigm for integrating deep neural network with classical physics-based variational methods. To enhance the ability of MISR network to recover high-frequency details from aliased artifacts, this paper proposes a novel camera-array SR network called dual Transformer suitable for SSL. Experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.

Perturb-and-Restore: Simulation-driven Structural Augmentation Framework for Imbalance Chromosomal Anomaly Detection

Detecting structural chromosomal abnormalities is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of genetic disorders. However, collecting sufficient structural abnormality data is extremely challenging and costly in clinical practice, and not all abnormal types can be readily collected. As a result, deep learning approaches face significant performance degradation due to the severe imbalance and scarcity of abnormal chromosome data. To address this challenge, we propose a Perturb-and-Restore (P&R), a simulation-driven structural augmentation framework that effectively alleviates data imbalance in chromosome anomaly detection. The P&R framework comprises two key components: (1) Structure Perturbation and Restoration Simulation, which generates synthetic abnormal chromosomes by perturbing chromosomal banding patterns of normal chromosomes followed by a restoration diffusion network that reconstructs continuous chromosome content and edges, thus eliminating reliance on rare abnormal samples; and (2) Energy-guided Adaptive Sampling, an energy score-based online selection strategy that dynamically prioritizes high-quality synthetic samples by referencing the energy distribution of real samples. To evaluate our method, we construct a comprehensive structural anomaly dataset consisting of over 260,000 chromosome images, including 4,242 abnormal samples spanning 24 categories. Experimental results demonstrate that the P&R framework achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance, surpassing existing methods with an average improvement of 8.92% in sensitivity, 8.89% in precision, and 13.79% in F1-score across all categories.

AGCD: Agent-Guided Cross-Modal Decoding for Weather Forecasting

Accurate weather forecasting is more than grid-wise regression: it must preserve coherent synoptic structures and physical consistency of meteorological fields, especially under autoregressive rollouts where small one-step errors can amplify into structural bias. Existing physics-priors approaches typically impose global, once-for-all constraints via architectures, regularization, or NWP coupling, offering limited state-adaptive and sample-specific controllability at deployment. To bridge this gap, we propose Agent-Guided Cross-modal Decoding (AGCD), a plug-and-play decoding-time prior-injection paradigm that derives state-conditioned physics-priors from the current multivariate atmosphere and injects them into forecasters in a controllable and reusable way. Specifically, We design a multi-agent meteorological narration pipeline to generate state-conditioned physics-priors, utilizing MLLMs to extract various meteorological elements effectively. To effectively apply the priors, AGCD further introduce cross-modal region interaction decoding that performs region-aware multi-scale tokenization and efficient physics-priors injection to refine visual features without changing the backbone interface. Experiments on WeatherBench demonstrate consistent gains for 6-hour forecasting across two resolutions (5.625 degree and 1.40625 degree) and diverse backbones (generic and weather-specialized), including strictly causal 48-hour autoregressive rollouts that reduce early-stage error accumulation and improve long-horizon stability.

A Framework for Assessing AI Agent Decisions and Outcomes in AutoML Pipelines

Agent-based AutoML systems rely on large language models to make complex, multi-stage decisions across data processing, model selection, and evaluation. However, existing evaluation practices remain outcome-centric, focusing primarily on final task performance. Through a review of prior work, we find that none of the surveyed agentic AutoML systems report structured, decision-level evaluation metrics intended for post-hoc assessment of intermediate decision quality. To address this limitation, we propose an Evaluation Agent (EA) that performs decision-centric assessment of AutoML agents without interfering with their execution. The EA is designed as an observer that evaluates intermediate decisions along four dimensions: decision validity, reasoning consistency, model quality risks beyond accuracy, and counterfactual decision impact. Across four proof-of-concept experiments, we demonstrate that the EA can (i) detect faulty decisions with an F1 score of 0.919, (ii) identify reasoning inconsistencies independent of final outcomes, and (iii) attribute downstream performance changes to agent decisions, revealing impacts ranging from -4.9% to +8.3% in final metrics. These results illustrate how decision-centric evaluation exposes failure modes that are invisible to outcome-only metrics. Our work reframes the evaluation of agentic AutoML systems from an outcome-based perspective to one that audits agent decisions, offering a foundation for reliable, interpretable, and governable autonomous ML systems.

Antibody: Strengthening Defense Against Harmful Fine-Tuning for Large Language Models via Attenuating Harmful Gradient Influence

Fine-tuning-as-a-service introduces a threat to Large Language Models' safety when service providers fine-tune their models on poisoned user-submitted datasets, a process known as harmful fine-tuning attacks. In this work, we show that by regularizing the gradient contribution of harmful samples encountered during fine-tuning, we can effectively mitigate the impact of harmful fine-tuning attacks. To this end, we introduce Antibody, a defense strategy that first ensures robust safety alignment for the model before fine-tuning, and then applies a safety-preservation learning algorithm during fine-tuning. Specifically, in the alignment stage before fine-tuning, we propose optimizing the model to be in a flat loss region with respect to harmful samples, which makes the safety alignment more resilient to subsequent harmful fine-tuning. Then, in the fine-tuning stage, we design a fine-tuning algorithm that applies a weighting scheme to all samples in each training batch to inhibit the model from learning from harmful samples while encouraging learning from benign samples. Experimental results demonstrate that Antibody successfully mitigates harmful fine-tuning attacks while boosting fine-tuning performance on the user-submitted dataset.

ReForm: Reflective Autoformalization with Prospective Bounded Sequence Optimization

Autoformalization, which translates natural language mathematics into machine-verifiable formal statements, is critical for using formal mathematical reasoning to solve math problems stated in natural language. While Large Language Models can generate syntactically correct formal statements, they often fail to preserve the original problem's semantic intent. This limitation arises from the LLM approaches' treating autoformalization as a simplistic translation task which lacks mechanisms for self-reflection and iterative refinement that human experts naturally employ. To address these issues, we propose ReForm, a Reflective Autoformalization method that tightly integrates semantic consistency evaluation into the autoformalization process. This enables the model to iteratively generate formal statements, assess its semantic fidelity, and self-correct identified errors through progressive refinement. To effectively train this reflective model, we introduce Prospective Bounded Sequence Optimization (PBSO), which employs different rewards at different sequence positions to ensure that the model develops both accurate autoformalization and correct semantic validations, preventing superficial critiques that would undermine the purpose of reflection. Extensive experiments across four autoformalization benchmarks demonstrate that ReForm achieves an average improvement of 22.6 percentage points over the strongest baselines. To further ensure evaluation reliability, we introduce ConsistencyCheck, a benchmark of 859 expert-annotated items that not only validates LLMs as judges but also reveals that autoformalization is inherently difficult: even human experts produce semantic errors in up to 38.5% of cases.

VISTA: Enhancing Visual Conditioning via Track-Following Preference Optimization in Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated strong performance across a wide range of robotic manipulation tasks. Despite the success, extending large pretrained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to the action space can induce vision-action misalignment, where action predictions exhibit weak dependence on the current visual state, leading to unreliable action outputs. In this work, we study VLA models through the lens of visual conditioning and empirically show that successful rollouts consistently exhibit stronger visual dependence than failed ones. Motivated by this observation, we propose a training framework that explicitly strengthens visual conditioning in VLA models. Our approach first aligns action prediction with visual input via preference optimization on a track-following surrogate task, and then transfers the enhanced alignment to instruction-following task through latent-space distillation during supervised finetuning. Without introducing architectural modifications or additional data collection, our method improves both visual conditioning and task performance for discrete OpenVLA, and further yields consistent gains when extended to the continuous OpenVLA-OFT setting.

Cross-Modal Memory Compression for Efficient Multi-Agent Debate

Multi-agent debate can improve reasoning quality and reduce hallucinations, but it incurs rapidly growing context as debate rounds and agent count increase. Retaining full textual histories leads to token usage that can exceed context limits and often requires repeated summarization, adding overhead and compounding information loss. We introduce DebateOCR, a cross-modal compression framework that replaces long textual debate traces with compact image representations, which are then consumed through a dedicated vision encoder to condition subsequent rounds. This design compresses histories that commonly span tens to hundreds of thousands of tokens, cutting input tokens by more than 92% and yielding substantially lower compute cost and faster inference across multiple benchmarks. We further provide a theoretical perspective showing that diversity across agents supports recovery of omitted information: although any single compressed history may discard details, aggregating multiple agents' compressed views allows the collective representation to approach the information bottleneck with exponentially high probability.

A multitask framework for automated interpretation of multi-frame right upper quadrant ultrasound in clinical decision support

Ultrasound is a cornerstone of emergency and hepatobiliary imaging, yet its interpretation remains highly operator-dependent and time-sensitive. Here, we present a multitask vision-language agent (VLM) developed to assist with comprehensive right upper quadrant (RUQ) ultrasound interpretation across the full diagnostic workflow. The system was trained on a large, multi-center dataset comprising a primary cohort from Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions (9,189 cases, 594,099 images) and externally validated on cohorts from Stanford University (108 cases, 3,240 images) and a major Chinese medical center (257 cases, 3,178 images). Built on the Qwen2.5-VL-7B architecture, the agent integrates frame-level visual understanding with report-grounded language reasoning to perform three tasks: (i) classification of 18 hepatobiliary and gallbladder conditions, (ii) generation of clinically coherent diagnostic reports, and (iii) surgical decision support based on ultrasound findings and clinical data. The model achieved high diagnostic accuracy across all tasks, generated reports that were indistinguishable from expert-written versions in blinded evaluations, and demonstrated superior factual accuracy and information density on content-based metrics. The agent further identified patients requiring cholecystectomy with high precision, supporting real-time decision-making. These results highlight the potential of generalist vision-language models to improve diagnostic consistency, reporting efficiency, and surgical triage in real-world ultrasound practice.

Reflect3r: Single-View 3D Stereo Reconstruction Aided by Mirror Reflections

Mirror reflections are common in everyday environments and can provide stereo information within a single capture, as the real and reflected virtual views are visible simultaneously. We exploit this property by treating the reflection as an auxiliary view and designing a transformation that constructs a physically valid virtual camera, allowing direct pixel-domain generation of the virtual view while adhering to the real-world imaging process. This enables a multi-view stereo setup from a single image, simplifying the imaging process, making it compatible with powerful feed-forward reconstruction models for generalizable and robust 3D reconstruction. To further exploit the geometric symmetry introduced by mirrors, we propose a symmetric-aware loss to refine pose estimation. Our framework also naturally extends to dynamic scenes, where each frame contains a mirror reflection, enabling efficient per-frame geometry recovery. For quantitative evaluation, we provide a fully customizable synthetic dataset of 16 Blender scenes, each with ground-truth point clouds and camera poses. Extensive experiments on real-world data and synthetic data are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of our method.

Internal Representations as Indicators of Hallucinations in Agent Tool Selection

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in tool calling and tool usage, but suffer from hallucinations where they choose incorrect tools, provide malformed parameters and exhibit 'tool bypass' behavior by performing simulations and generating outputs instead of invoking specialized tools or external systems. This undermines the reliability of LLM based agents in production systems as it leads to inconsistent results, and bypasses security and audit controls. Such hallucinations in agent tool selection require early detection and error handling. Unlike existing hallucination detection methods that require multiple forward passes or external validation, we present a computationally efficient framework that detects tool-calling hallucinations in real-time by leveraging LLMs' internal representations during the same forward pass used for generation. We evaluate this approach on reasoning tasks across multiple domains, demonstrating strong detection performance (up to 86.4\% accuracy) while maintaining real-time inference capabilities with minimal computational overhead, particularly excelling at detecting parameter-level hallucinations and inappropriate tool selections, critical for reliable agent deployment.

Training-Free Video Editing via Optical Flow-Enhanced Score Distillation

The rapid advancement in visual generation, particularly the emergence of pre-trained text-to-image and text-to-video models, has catalyzed growing interest in training-free video editing research. Mirroring training-free image editing techniques, current approaches preserve original video information through video input inversion and manipulating intermediate features and attention during the inference process to achieve content editing. Although they have demonstrated promising results, the lossy nature of the inversion process poses significant challenges in maintaining unedited regions of the video. Furthermore, feature and attention manipulation during inference can lead to unintended over-editing and face challenges in both local temporal continuity and global content consistency. To address these challenges, this study proposes a score distillation paradigm based on pre-trained text-to-video models, where the original video is iteratively optimized through multiple steps guided by editing gradients provided by score distillation to ultimately obtain the target video. The iterative optimization starting from the original video, combined with content preservation loss, ensures the maintenance of unedited regions in the original video and suppresses over-editing. To further guarantee video content consistency and temporal continuity, we additionally introduce a global consistency auxiliary loss and optical flow prediction-based local editing gradient smoothing. Experiments demonstrate that these strategies effectively address the aforementioned challenges, achieving comparable or superior performance across multiple dimensions including preservation of unedited regions, local temporal continuity, and global content consistency of editing results, compared to state-of-the-art methods.
