Let Prompts Bridge Defense Knowledge: Transferable Graph Purification via Vulnerability-Aware GPL

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as a cornerstone for representing complex relational dependencies in diverse multimedia tasks, particularly in cross-platform user interest modeling and cross-modal semantic alignment. In the real world, a practical defense against graph adversarial perturbations is needed. However, we observe that the prevailing adversarial purification methods are essentially domain-restricted defenses, which leads to the following shortcomings: (1) single-domain data provides insufficient structural and semantic diversity for learning robust purification criteria; (2) training of domain-specific defense strategies from scratch consumes substantial computational cost. To address the above limitations, we propose a transferable graph purification scheme, named ProGAP, to bridge adversarial defense knowledge via vulnerability-aware graph prompt learning. Firstly, to capture universal adversarial patterns, a perturbation-capture edge detector is pretrained on data-rich graphs by jointly modeling topological and semantic information. Subsequently, to achieve more knowledge transfer w.r.t. robustness, vulnerability-aware prompts are designed that inject targeted purification guidance into biased nodes, during which the pretrained detector adapts to distribution shifts in downstream graphs without parameter-laborious updates. Experimental results demonstrate that compared with state-of-the-art baselines, our ProGAP achieves 1%-9% improvement, and reduces the time consumption by up to 2.2x. The code for ProGAP is available at https://github.com/Lieyoufffff/ProGAP.

Absorbing Gradient Conflicts: Modeling Semantic Variance via Kent Distributions for Cross-Modal Hashing

Supervised proxy-based deep cross-modal hashing has become the dominant paradigm for large-scale retrieval. However, prevalent methods model class proxies as deterministic points in the embedding space. This rigid assumption causes severe gradient conflicts in multi-label scenarios, where gradient conflicts arising from label co-occurrence lead to severe gradient contention and optimization collapse. To resolve this, we propose Kent-based Distributional Proxy Hashing (KDPH), a novel framework that shifts proxy representation from static points to flexible anisotropic Kent distributions on the hypersphere. Unlike point proxies that must shift their positions to accommodate conflicting gradients, KDPH absorbs these conflicts by dynamically adjusting its directional variance. This allows the proxy to maintain a stable semantic mean direction while stretching to cover diverse label correlations. Furthermore, to ensure stable training of these geometric parameters, we derive a tailored loss function incorporating the Cayley transform to enforce strict orthogonality. To the best of our knowledge, KDPH is the first framework to successfully introduce the Kent distributions into cross-modal hashing. Experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that KDPH mitigates proxy collapse and chaotic oscillation, significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

FOVEA: Focused On-Demand Visual Evidence Adaptation for Cache-Friendly Multimodal Speculative Decoding

Multimodal speculative decoding accelerates vision-language models by allowing a lightweight draft model to propose candidate tokens for parallel verification by a larger target model. Existing methods typically condition the drafter on a fixed visual interface, such as a predefined visual-token budget or a static compressed representation. However, our controlled visual-budget analysis shows that visual demand varies substantially across tasks and decoding stages, which means more visual input is not always beneficial. Actually, insufficient evidence may weaken visual grounding, while excessive context adds overhead and may disrupt drafting. We propose FOVEA (Focused On-demand Visual Evidence Adaptation), a cache-friendly approach that builds a reusable visual memory and dynamically retrieves a bounded subset for a draft state. A cumulative-mass rule determines both how many and which entries are selected. The selected entries are aggregated into a visual readout and fused with the current draft hidden state through a lightweight gated residual correction. Rather than inserting visual tokens into the autoregressive context, the correction modifies only the representation passed to the language-model head. Experiments across multiple vision-language backbones and multimodal benchmarks show that FOVEA improves draft acceptance and end-to-end decoding speed, achieving up to $2.13\times$ speedup over autoregressive decoding. These results demonstrate that state-conditioned evidence retrieval is an effective alternative to reusing a fixed visual representation throughout multimodal generation.

MoCA: Implicit Social Context Analysis

Human social communication, such as affection and intent, is often conveyed in highly implicit ways, where underlying meanings are expressed through indirect, socially and culturally grounded signals rather than explicit statements. Such implicit social contexts are pervasive in real-world interactions, yet there remains a lack of a formal and systematic framework for studying them. In this paper, we introduce Implicit Social Context Analysis (MoCA), a novel task that systematically models implicit social scenarios along three key dimensions: affection, intent, and stance. We construct a high-quality benchmark containing 3,108 multimodal instances collected from real-world sources, with fine-grained cognitive annotations revealing who expresses what toward whom, as well as how and why it is conveyed. Using the MoCA dataset, we show that state-of-the-art multimodal large language models struggle significantly with this task because of their reliance on explicit cues and limited ability to reason over latent social contexts. To address this challenge, we propose Conflict-Driven Abductive Reasoning (CoDAR), a novel framework that models the discrepancy between observed expressions and expected truthful behavior as cognitive conflict, thereby enabling the inference of hidden mental states. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CoDAR substantially improves model performance. Nevertheless, a large gap from human reasoning remains, highlighting the fundamental difficulty of implicit social understanding.

Multi-Static ISAC based on Network-Assisted Full-Duplex Cell-Free Networks: Performance Analysis and Duplex Mode Optimization

Multi-static integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) technology, which can achieve a wider coverage range and avoid self-interference, is an important trend for the future development of ISAC. Existing multi-static ISAC designs are unable to support the asymmetric uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) communication requirements in the scenario while simultaneously achieving optimal sensing performance. This paper proposes a design for multi-static ISAC based on network-assisted full-duplex (NAFD) cell-free networks can well solve the above problems. Under this design, closed-form expressions for the individual comunication rate and localization error rate are derived under imperfect channel state information, which are respectively utilized to assess the communication and sensing performances. Then, we propose a deep Q-network-based accesss point (AP) duplex mode optimization algorithm to obtain the trade-off between communication and sensing from the UL and DL perspectives of the APs. Simulation results demonstrate that the NAFD-based ISAC system proposed in this paper can achieve significantly better communication performance than other ISAC systems while ensuring minimal impact on sensing performance. Then, we validate the accuracy of the derived closed-form expressions. Furthermore, the proposed optimization algorithm achieves performance comparable to that of the exhaustion method with low complexity.

Passive Integrated Sensing and Communication Scheme based on RF Fingerprint Information Extraction for Cell-Free RAN

This paper investigates how to achieve integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) based on a cell-free radio access network (CF-RAN) architecture with a minimum footprint of communication resources. We propose a new passive sensing scheme. The scheme is based on the radio frequency (RF) fingerprint learning of the RF radio unit (RRU) to build an RF fingerprint library of RRUs. The source RRU is identified by comparing the RF fingerprints carried by the signal at the receiver side. The receiver extracts the channel parameters from the signal and estimates the channel environment, thus locating the reflectors in the environment. The proposed scheme can effectively solve the problem of interference between signals in the same time-frequency domain but in different spatial domains when multiple RRUs jointly serve users in CF-RAN architecture. Simulation results show that the proposed passive ISAC scheme can effectively detect reflector location information in the environment without degrading the communication performance.

Integrated Sensing and Communication for Network-Assisted Full-Duplex Cell-Free Distributed Massive MIMO Systems

In this paper, we combine the network-assisted full-duplex (NAFD) technology and distributed radar sensing to implement integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). The ISAC system features both uplink and downlink remote radio units (RRUs) equipped with communication and sensing capabilities. We evaluate the communication and sensing performance of the system using the sum communication rates and the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB), respectively. We compare the performance of the proposed scheme with other ISAC schemes, the result shows that the proposed scheme can provide more stable sensing and better communication performance. Furthermore, we propose two power allocation algorithms to optimize the communication and sensing performance jointly. One algorithm is based on the deep Q-network (DQN) and the other one is based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). The proposed algorithms provide more feasible solutions and achieve better system performance than the equal power allocation algorithm.
