TrafficSignBench: Rule-Centric Closed-Loop Evaluation of Traffic-Sign Compliance in Autonomous Driving

Autonomous driving planners are typically evaluated using aggregate metrics such as driving score, destination rate, and collision rate, which do not explicitly measure compliance with traffic rules. As a result, planners can achieve high benchmark scores while still exhibiting unsafe or illegal behaviors, limiting their applicability to real-world deployment. To address this gap, we introduce TrafficSignBench, a large-scale, traffic sign-centric benchmark for systematic and interpretable evaluation of traffic-rule compliance in autonomous driving. Our framework combines real-map-based simulation for realistic road layouts with rule-targeted procedural scenario generation for scalable and balanced coverage of underrepresented rules. We implement traffic rules corresponding to 34 traffic signs, each equipped with an automatic rule checker for detecting violations during closed-loop execution. This design yields 29,000 diverse road scenes and 29 distinct testing scenario types, enabling controlled evaluation of rule-specific planner behavior. We construct 5,800 testing scenes and demonstrate that current autonomous driving planners can exhibit poor traffic-rule compliance despite strong performance on standard evaluation metrics. To address this limitation, we transform existing planners into rule-compliant trajectory experts via explicit traffic-sign constraints, enabling scalable generation of high-quality oracle trajectories for fine-tuning.

SPARTA: Evaluating Reasoning Segmentation Robustness through Black-Box Adversarial Paraphrasing in Text Autoencoder Latent Space

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown impressive capabilities in vision-language tasks such as reasoning segmentation, where models generate segmentation masks based on textual queries. While prior work has primarily focused on perturbing image inputs, semantically equivalent textual paraphrases-crucial in real-world applications where users express the same intent in varied ways-remain underexplored. To address this gap, we introduce a novel adversarial paraphrasing task: generating grammatically correct paraphrases that preserve the original query meaning while degrading segmentation performance. To evaluate the quality of adversarial paraphrases, we develop a comprehensive automatic evaluation protocol validated with human studies. Furthermore, we introduce SPARTA-a black-box, sentence-level optimization method that operates in the low-dimensional semantic latent space of a text autoencoder, guided by reinforcement learning. SPARTA achieves significantly higher success rates, outperforming prior methods by up to 2x on both the ReasonSeg and LLMSeg-40k datasets. We use SPARTA and competitive baselines to assess the robustness of advanced reasoning segmentation models. We reveal that they remain vulnerable to adversarial paraphrasing-even under strict semantic and grammatical constraints. All code and data will be released publicly upon acceptance.
