The predictive closure characterization is proposed, which accounts for the relationships between features and shows that unpredictable features can become better represented when they help predict other features, and that changing one feature's predictive relationships can affect how well others are represented.

Scaling laws suggest that increasing model size, training data, and compute generally yields monotonic performance improvements. While this often holds at the aggregate level, we present systematic evidence that vision-language models (VLMs) exhibit inverse scaling at the subtask level: specific question categories on...

Byzantine-robust aggregation shields federated learning from malicious updates, but the rules that filter out suspect updates do so by comparing clients' parameter vectors. That comparison requires access to every client's update, which secure aggregation exists to withhold, costs $O(n^2 d)$ in the parameter dimension...

Beneath the apparent diversity of foundation models lies an increasingly homogeneous technical stack of common training pipelines, distillation methods, and data. These shared algorithmic choices can expose an otherwise distinct model ecosystem to concentrated risks leading to a vulnerability monoculture. Yet current p...

An optional runtime safety check is added to the loop: before the first motion, the model is asked whether it would carry out the instruction, given the same camera frames, and the check would have stopped all 15 hazardous instructions, including the 4 that completed the harm, and flagged none of the 15 harmless contro...
An inference-time route-and-steer framework is proposed: an ordinal granularity router maps visual-contextual privacy representations to a disclosure route, and a disclosure-level-conditioned steering module applies route-specific hidden-state interventions during decoding.

Large language models are deployed globally, yet safety alignment and evaluation remain concentrated in English: harmful requests refused in English can elicit unsafe completions when translated into low-resource languages. We evaluate ten widely deployed LLMs across 79 languages (English plus 78 low-resource) under a...

This work evaluates compaction on later questions of language-model agents, using four corpora that annotate the evidence of several questions per text and recorded agent trajectories, and compares every method with random deletion at the same budget.

Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) aims to learn new classes continuously without forgetting the previously learned ones. Recent works in CIL have significantly advanced across various modalities; however, at the intersection of audio-visual modality, this problem remains underexplored. While representations from multimo...

Effective detection of hate content is essential for maintaining healthy online communities, yet performance can vary substantially across languages. This work investigates a core practical question: Can training data from one language support hate-speech detection in another language with comparable performance? To an...
This work presents VPFlow, a value-predictive planner that pairs the world models with a one-step flow policy and plans in its noise space via evolutionary search, and demonstrates that value-predictive representations, not exact state prediction, are what offline planning requires.
Producing synthetic data for comparison testing a migrated COBOL application is a major challenge that agentic migrations face today. Our prior paper, the Agentic Method for Deterministic Validation of Legacy Code Migration, presents a deterministic oracle to facilitate such migrations, the Locksmith Loop. We now propo...
