SPOT: Selective Prompt Projection via Total Variation for Inference-Only Safe Text-to-Image Generation

Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models enable high quality open ended synthesis, but practical use requires suppressing unsafe generations while preserving behavior on benign prompts. We study this tension relative to the frozen generator, using its prompt conditioned distribution as the preservation reference. Since T2I safety is commonly evaluated by bounded risk scores on generated images, total variation (TV) bounds how much expected risk can change from this reference. We call this fixed reference constraint the Safety-Prompt Alignment Tradeoff (SPAT): reducing expected unsafety requires prompt conditioned distributional deviation. To make this deviation selective and adjustable, we define the tau safe set as prompts whose reference risk is at most tau, and cast intervention as projection toward nearby prompts in this set. We propose Selective Prompt prOjecTion (SPOT), an inference time framework that approximates this projection without retraining the generator or learning a category specific rewriter. SPOT uses an LLM to rank candidate rewrites and a safeguard VLM to accept generated images under the same tau. Across four datasets and three diffusion backbones, SPOT achieves relative inappropriate (IP) score reductions from 14.2% to 44.4% over strong safety alignment baselines while keeping benign prompt behavior close to the fixed reference.

MoDEx: Mixture of Depth-specific Experts for Multivariate Long-term Time Series Forecasting

Multivariate long-term time series forecasting (LTSF) supports critical applications such as traffic-flow management, solar-power scheduling, and electricity-transformer monitoring. The existing LTSF paradigms follow a three-stage pipeline of embedding, backbone refinement, and long-horizon prediction. However, the behaviors of individual backbone layers remain underexplored. We introduce layer sensitivity, a gradient-based metric inspired by GradCAM and effective receptive field theory, which quantifies both positive and negative contributions of each time point to a layer's latent features. Applying this metric to a three-layer MLP backbone reveals depth-specific specialization in modeling temporal dynamics in the input sequence. Motivated by these insights, we propose MoDEx, a lightweight Mixture of Depth-specific Experts, which replaces complex backbones with depth-specific MLP experts. MoDEx achieves state-of-the-art accuracy on seven real-world benchmarks, ranking first in 78 percent of cases, while using significantly fewer parameters and computational resources. It also integrates seamlessly into transformer variants, consistently boosting their performance and demonstrating robust generalizability as an efficient and high-performance LTSF framework.

CASA: CNN Autoencoder-based Score Attention for Efficient Multivariate Long-term Time-series Forecasting

Multivariate long-term time series forecasting is critical for applications such as weather prediction, and traffic analysis. In addition, the implementation of Transformer variants has improved prediction accuracy. Following these variants, different input data process approaches also enhanced the field, such as tokenization techniques including point-wise, channel-wise, and patch-wise tokenization. However, previous studies still have limitations in time complexity, computational resources, and cross-dimensional interactions. To address these limitations, we introduce a novel CNN Autoencoder-based Score Attention mechanism (CASA), which can be introduced in diverse Transformers model-agnosticically by reducing memory and leading to improvement in model performance. Experiments on eight real-world datasets validate that CASA decreases computational resources by up to 77.7%, accelerates inference by 44.0%, and achieves state-of-the-art performance, ranking first in 87.5% of evaluated metrics.

Instance-based entropy fuzzy support vector machine for imbalanced data

Imbalanced classification has been a major challenge for machine learning because many standard classifiers mainly focus on balanced datasets and tend to have biased results towards the majority class. We modify entropy fuzzy support vector machine (EFSVM) and introduce instance-based entropy fuzzy support vector machine (IEFSVM). Both EFSVM and IEFSVM use the entropy information of k-nearest neighbors to determine the fuzzy membership value for each sample which prioritizes the importance of each sample. IEFSVM considers the diversity of entropy patterns for each sample when increasing the size of neighbors, k, while EFSVM uses single entropy information of the fixed size of neighbors for all samples. By varying k, we can reflect the component change of sample's neighbors from near to far distance in the determination of fuzzy value membership. Numerical experiments on 35 public and 12 real-world imbalanced datasets are performed to validate IEFSVM and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) is used to compare its performance with other SVMs and machine learning methods. IEFSVM shows a much higher AUC value for datasets with high imbalance ratio, implying that IEFSVM is effective in dealing with the class imbalance problem.
