Robust Coverless Linguistic Steganography via Sentence Embedding Space with Global Resynchronization

Linguistic steganography enables covert communication through natural language. Existing methods heavily rely on token-level operations and struggle to maintain reliability under word- and sentence-level textual perturbations. Moreover, variable-length coding-based schemes are highly susceptible to bit-slippage under minor disturbances, as perturbations cause desynchronization between embedded and extracted bit sequences. To address these issues, we propose a robust coverless steganographic framework that operates in the sentence embedding space rather than the token space. Specifically, secret messages are encoded as hierarchical clustering paths in the sentence embedding space, which enhances decoding stability against word- and sentence-level textual perturbations. To tackle the bit-slippage problem, we introduce a Global Resynchronization Mechanism (GRM) that reframes variable-length bitstreams as discrete symbols anchored to semantic subspaces, decoupling local embedding failures from global message recovery. Experimental results demonstrate that under word- and sentence-level perturbations, our approach achieves substantial improvements in robustness, while maintaining effective embedding capacity and exhibiting strong resistance to statistical analysis.

KGFR: A Foundation Retriever for Generalized Knowledge Graph Question Answering

Large language models (LLMs) excel at reasoning but struggle with knowledge-intensive questions due to limited context and parametric knowledge. However, existing methods that rely on finetuned LLMs or GNN retrievers are limited by dataset-specific tuning and scalability on large or unseen graphs. We propose the LLM-KGFR collaborative framework, where an LLM works with a structured retriever, the Knowledge Graph Foundation Retriever (KGFR). KGFR encodes relations using LLM-generated descriptions and initializes entities based on their roles in the question, enabling zero-shot generalization to unseen KGs. To handle large graphs efficiently, it employs Asymmetric Progressive Propagation (APP)- a stepwise expansion that selectively limits high-degree nodes while retaining informative paths. Through node-, edge-, and path-level interfaces, the LLM iteratively requests candidate answers, supporting facts, and reasoning paths, forming a controllable reasoning loop. Experiments demonstrate that LLM-KGFR achieves strong performance while maintaining scalability and generalization, providing a practical solution for KG-augmented reasoning.

Breaking the Reasoning Horizon in Entity Alignment Foundation Models

Entity alignment (EA) is critical for knowledge graph (KG) fusion. Existing EA models lack transferability and are incapable of aligning unseen KGs without retraining. While using graph foundation models (GFMs) offer a solution, we find that directly adapting GFMs to EA remains largely ineffective. This stems from a critical "reasoning horizon gap": unlike link prediction in GFMs, EA necessitates capturing long-range dependencies across sparse and heterogeneous KG structuresTo address this challenge, we propose a EA foundation model driven by a parallel encoding strategy. We utilize seed EA pairs as local anchors to guide the information flow, initializing and encoding two parallel streams simultaneously. This facilitates anchor-conditioned message passing and significantly shortens the inference trajectory by leveraging local structural proximity instead of global search. Additionally, we incorporate a merged relation graph to model global dependencies and a learnable interaction module for precise matching. Extensive experiments verify the effectiveness of our framework, highlighting its strong generalizability to unseen KGs.
