The increasing autonomy of Large Language Models (LLMs) necessitates a rigorous evaluation of their potential to aid in cyber offense. Existing benchmarks often lack real-world complexity and are thus unable to accurately assess LLMs' cybersecurity capabilities. To address this gap, we introduce PACEbench, a practical AI cyber-exploitation benchmark built on the principles of realistic vulnerability difficulty, environmental complexity, and cyber defenses. Specifically, PACEbench comprises four scenarios spanning single, blended, chained, and defense vulnerability exploitations. To handle these complex challenges, we propose PACEagent, a novel agent that emulates human penetration testers by supporting multi-phase reconnaissance, analysis, and exploitation. Extensive experiments with seven frontier LLMs demonstrate that current models struggle with complex cyber scenarios, and none can bypass defenses. These findings suggest that current models do not yet pose a generalized cyber offense threat. Nonetheless, our work provides a robust benchmark to guide the trustworthy development of future models.

Existing research indicates that the output of **Chain-of-Thought (CoT)** is significantly affected by input perturbations. Although many methods aim to mitigate such impact by optimizing prompts, a theoretical explanation of how these perturbations influence CoT outputs remains an open area of research. This gap limits our in-depth understanding of how input perturbations propagate during the reasoning process and hinders further improvements in prompt optimization methods. Therefore, in this paper, we theoretically analyze the effect of input perturbations on the fluctuation of CoT outputs. We first derive an upper bound for input perturbations under the condition that the output fluctuation is within an acceptable range, and we prove that: - *i)* This upper bound is **positively correlated** with the number of reasoning steps in the CoT; - *ii)* Even an infinitely long reasoning process **cannot eliminate** the impact of input perturbations. We then apply these conclusions to the **Linear Self-Attention (LSA)** model, which can be viewed as a simplified version of Transformer. For the LSA model, we prove that the upper bound for input perturbation is **negatively correlated** with the norms of the input embedding and hidden state vectors. To validate this theoretical analysis, we conduct experiments on **three mainstream datasets** and **four mainstream models**. The experimental results align with our theoretical analysis, empirically demonstrating the correctness of our findings.

Predicting relevance is a pervasive problem across digital platforms, covering social media, entertainment, and commerce. However, when optimized solely for relevance and engagement, many machine-learning models amplify data biases and produce homogeneous outputs, reinforcing filter bubbles and content uniformity. To address this issue, we introduce a pairwise top-k diversity objective with a differentiable smooth-ranking approximation, providing a model-agnostic way to incorporate diversity optimization directly into standard gradient-based learning. Building on this objective, we cast relevance and diversity as a joint optimization problem, we analyze the resulting gradient trade-offs, and propose two complementary strategies: direct optimization, which modifies the learning objective, and indirect optimization, which reweights training data. Both strategies can be applied either when training models from scratch or when fine-tuning existing relevance-optimized models. We use recommendation as a natural evaluation setting where scalability and diversity are critical, and show through extensive experiments that our methods consistently improve diversity with negligible accuracy loss. Notably, fine-tuning with our objective is especially efficient, requiring only a few gradient steps to encode diversity at scale.

Neural language models are black-boxes--both linguistic patterns and factual knowledge are distributed across billions of opaque parameters. This entangled encoding makes it difficult to reliably inspect, verify, or update specific facts. We introduce Limited Memory Language Models (LMLM), a new class of language models that externalizes factual knowledge to external database during pre-training rather than memorizing them. Our pre-training approach strategically masks externally retrieved factual values from the training loss, thereby teaching the model to perform targeted lookups rather than relying on memorization in model weights. Our experiments demonstrate that LMLMs achieve competitive performance compared to significantly larger LLMs on standard benchmarks, while offering the advantages of explicit, editable, and verifiable knowledge bases.

Real-world large language model deployments (e.g., conversational AI systems, code generation assistants) naturally generate abundant implicit user dissatisfaction (DSAT) signals, as users iterate toward better answers through refinements, corrections, and expressed preferences, while explicit satisfaction (SAT) feedback is scarce. Existing preference learning approaches are poorly aligned with this data profile, as they rely on costly human annotations or assume plentiful positive responses. In this paper, we introduce \textbf{DRIFT} (\textbf{D}issatisfaction-\textbf{R}efined \textbf{I}terative pre\textbf{F}erence \textbf{T}raining), which anchors training on real-world DSAT signals and samples positives dynamically from the evolving policy. Empirically, DRIFT models trained on real-world \textit{WildFeedback} datasets and synthetic \textit{UltraFeedback} datasets achieve up to +6.23\% (7B) / +7.61\% (14B) on WildBench Task Score and up to +8.95\% (7B) / +12.29\% (14B) on AlpacaEval2 win rate over base models, outperforming strong baseline methods such as iterative DPO and SPIN. At larger scales, the improvements are particularly pronounced: 14B models trained with DRIFT surpass GPT-4o-mini on WildBench. Further analysis shows that DRIFT also preserves exploratory capacity, yielding more diverse high-reward solutions rather than collapsing to narrow subsets. Theoretically, we demonstrate that this design preserves preference margins and avoids the gradient degeneration. These results show that DRIFT is an effective and scalable recipe for real-world post-training that leverages the most abundant and informative signal.

General Machine Learning · Representation Learning

While existing approaches address unpaired image-text matching by constructing cross-modal aligned knowledge, they often fail to identify semantically corresponding visual representations for Out-of-Distribution (OOD) words. Moreover, the distributional variance of visual representations associated with different words varies significantly, which negatively impacts matching accuracy. To address these issues, we propose a novel method namely Multimodal Aligned Semantic Knowledge (MASK), which leverages word embeddings as bridges to associate words with their corresponding prototypes, thereby enabling semantic knowledge alignment between the image and text modalities. For OOD words, the representative prototypes are constructed by leveraging the semantic relationships encoded in word embeddings. Beyond that, we introduce a prototype consistency contrastive loss to structurally regularize the feature space, effectively mitigating the adverse effects of variance. Experimental results on the Flickr30K and MSCOCO datasets demonstrate that MASK achieves superior performance in unpaired matching.

Open-ended generation tasks require outputs to satisfy diverse and often implicit task-specific evaluation rubrics. The sheer number of relevant rubrics leads to prohibitively high verification costs and incomplete assessments of a response, making reinforcement learning (RL) post-training with rubric-based rewards difficult to scale. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that often the best way to combine these rubrics into one single reward is also highly prompt-specific. We propose Reinforcement Learning with Adversarial Critic (RLAC), a post-training approach that addresses these challenges via dynamic rubric verification. Our approach employs a large language model (LLM) as a critic that dynamically identifies only the most likely failure modes (e.g., a factual error or unhandled edge case), which are then verified by an external validator to optimize both generator and critic jointly. By training both the generator and the critic, this game enhances the critic's error detection and the generator's output quality while reducing required verifications. Our experiments demonstrate that RLAC improves factual accuracy in text generation and correctness in code generation, while also outperforming exhaustive verification and reward model methods. We show that dynamic critics are more effective than fixed critics, showcasing the potential of RLAC for scaling RL post-training to free-form generation tasks.

Social Aspects · Privacy-preserving Statistics and Machine Learning

Recent studies have shown that large language models (LLMs) can infer private user attributes (e.g., age, location, gender) from user-generated text shared online, enabling rapid and large-scale privacy breaches. Existing anonymization-based defenses are coarse-grained, lacking word-level precision in anonymizing privacy-leaking elements. Moreover, they are inherently limited as altering user text to hide sensitive cues still allows attribute inference to occur through models' reasoning capabilities. To address these limitations, we propose a unified defense framework that combines fine-grained anonymization (TRACE) with inference-preventing optimization (RPS). TRACE leverages attention mechanisms and inference chain generation to identify and anonymize privacy-leaking textual elements, while RPS employs a lightweight two-stage optimization strategy to induce model rejection behaviors, thereby preventing attribute inference. Evaluations across diverse LLMs show that TRACE-RPS reduces attribute inference accuracy from around 50\% to below 5\% on open-source models. In addition, our approach offers strong cross-model generalization, prompt-variation robustness, and utility-privacy tradeoffs. Our code is available at https://github.com/Jasper-Yan/TRACE-RPS.

We present SIGMA-Gen, a unified framework for multi-identity preserving image generation. Unlike prior approaches, SIGMA-Gen is the first to enable single-pass multi-subject identity-preserved generation guided by both structural and spatial constraints. A key strength of our method is its ability to support user guidance at various levels of precision — from coarse 2D or 3D boxes to pixel-level segmentations and depth — with a single model. To enable this, we introduce SIGMA-Set27K, a novel synthetic dataset that provides identity, structure, and spatial information for over 100k unique subjects across 27k images. Through extensive evaluation we demonstrate that SIGMA-Gen achieves state-of-the-art performance in identity preservation, image generation quality, and speed.

Despite the impressive capabilities of large language models across various tasks, their continued scaling is severely hampered not only by data scarcity but also by the performance degradation associated with excessive data repetition during training. To overcome this critical bottleneck, we introduce the Massive Genre-Audience (MGA) reformulation method, a framework designed to augment corpora in a way that supports more effective model performance scaling. Instead of relying on complex, predefined seed systems, MGA systematically reformulates existing corpora into diverse, contextually-rich variations by adaptively generating genre-audience pairs. We present this framework and the resulting 770 billion token MGACorpus, created as a practical instantiation of our methodology. We experimentally validate MGA's core benefits by demonstrating superior scaling properties, in terms of both model size and data budget, against data repetition and upsampling (up to 13B parameters). Furthermore, our comprehensive analysis investigates the role of synthesis principles in generation quality and reveals nuances in evaluating model capabilities using standard loss metrics. Our work shows that a systematic framework like MGA provides a reliable pathway to substantially augment training datasets, effectively alleviating repetition bottlenecks and enabling more efficient scaling of large language models.

Optimization · Non-Convex

Bilevel optimization is a hierarchical framework where an upper-level optimization problem is constrained by a lower-level problem, commonly used in machine learning applications such as hyperparameter optimization. Existing bilevel optimization methods typically assume strong convexity or Polyak-Łojasiewicz (PL) conditions for the lower-level function to establish non-asymptotic convergence to a solution with a small hypergradient. However, these assumptions may not hold in practice, and recent work (Chen et al. 2024) has shown that bilevel optimization is inherently intractable for general convex lower-level functions with the goal of finding small hypergradients. In this paper, we identify a tractable class of bilevel optimization problems that interpolates between lower-level strong convexity and general convexity via lower-level uniform convexity. For uniformly convex lower-level functions with exponent $p\geq 2$, we establish a novel implicit differentiation theorem characterizing the hyperobjective's smoothness property. Building on this, we design a new stochastic algorithm, termed UniBiO, with provable convergence guarantees, based on an oracle that provides stochastic gradient and Hessian-vector product information for the bilevel problems. Our algorithm achieves $\widetilde{O}(\epsilon^{-5p+6})$ oracle complexity bound for finding $\epsilon$-stationary points. Notably, our complexity bounds match the optimal rates in terms of the $\epsilon$ dependency for strongly convex lower-level functions ($p=2$), up to logarithmic factors. Our theoretical findings are validated through experiments on synthetic tasks and data hyper-cleaning, demonstrating the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.

The static "train then deploy" paradigm fundamentally limits Large Language Models (LLMs) from dynamically adapting their weights in response to continuous streams of new information inherent in real-world tasks. Test-Time Training (TTT) offers a compelling alternative by updating a subset of model parameters (fast weights) at inference time, yet its potential in the current LLM ecosystem is hindered by critical barriers including architectural incompatibility, computational inefficiency and misaligned fast weight objectives for language modeling. In this work, we introduce **In-Place Test-Time Training (In-Place TTT)**, a framework that seamlessly endows LLMs with Test-Time Training ability. In-Place TTT treats the final projection matrix of the ubiquitous MLP blocks as its adaptable fast weights, enabling a ``drop-in" enhancement for LLMs without costly retraining from scratch. Furthermore, we replace TTT's generic reconstruction objective with a tailored, theoretically-grounded objective explicitly aligned with the Next-Token-Prediction task governing autoregressive language modeling. This principled objective, combined with an efficient chunk-wise update mechanism, results in a highly scalable algorithm compatible with context parallelism. Extensive experiments validate our framework's effectiveness: as an in-place enhancement, it enables a 4B-parameter model to achieve superior performance on tasks with contexts up to 128k, and when pretrained from scratch, it consistently outperforms competitive TTT-related approaches. Ablation study results further provide deeper insights on our design choices. Collectively, our results establish In-Place TTT as a promising step towards a paradigm of continual learning in LLMs.

Majority voting has proven effective for close-ended question answering by aggregating parallel reasoning traces. However, it is not directly applicable to open-ended reasoning, such as code generation and web-based deep research, where a “majority” over complete solutions is ill-defined. We introduce THINKMERGE, a training-free, plug-and-play decoding strategy that runs K parallel reasoning traces and averages their next-token logits at synchronization points to produce a single coherent output. THINKMERGE integrates seamlessly with vLLM/SGLang and remains compatible with standard decoding techniques such as Top-p/Top-k. Empirically, it matches or surpasses majority voting on AIME and GPQA, while delivering consistent gains on open-ended coding tasks: on LiveCodeBench (hard), pass@1 improves by +8.28% for DeepCoder-14B-Preview and +7.58% for Qwen3-8B. Beyond code, we further show that THINKMERGE improves web-based deep-research agents (e.g., WebSailor-7B/32B) across GAIA, BrowseComp-en/zh, and XbenchDeepSearch. These results demonstrate that parallel test-time scaling can benefit open-ended reasoning without relying on voting over complete outputs.

We study generative modeling on convex domains using flow matching and mirror maps, and identify two fundamental challenges. First, standard log-barrier mirror maps induce heavy-tailed dual distributions, leading to ill-posed dynamics. Second, coupling with Gaussian priors performs poorly when matching heavy-tailed targets. To address these issues, we propose Mirror Flow Matching based on a \emph{regularized mirror map} that controls dual tail behavior and guarantees finite moments, together with coupling to a Student-$t$ prior that aligns with heavy-tailed targets and stabilizes training. We provide theoretical guarantees, including spatial Lipschitzness and temporal regularity of the velocity field, Wasserstein convergence rates for flow matching with Student-$t$ priors and primal-space guarantees for constrained generation, under $\varepsilon$-accurate learned velocity fields. Empirically, our method outperforms baselines in synthetic convex-domain simulations and achieves competitive sample quality on real-world constrained generative tasks.

Local loss geometry in machine learning is inherently a two-operator concept. While a single loss is locally characterized by its Hessian spectrum, practical learning depends on both training and test losses, whose joint geometry is determined not only by their spectra but by the alignment of their eigenspaces. We establish general foundations for this two-loss geometry by deriving a universal local fluctuation law: the expected test-loss increment under small training perturbations is a trace combining train and test spectral data with a precise factor quantifying eigenvector overlap. We further prove a transfer law describing how overlaps transform under noise. As a solvable model, we apply these results to ridge regression under arbitrary covariate shift, where operator-valued free probability yields asymptotically exact overlap decompositions that identify overlaps as the natural quantities for specifying shift, and resolve multiple descent: error peaks are governed by eigenspace misalignment rather than Hessian ill-conditioning alone. We then validate the fluctuation law in multilayer perceptrons, develop scalable estimators for overlap functionals based on subspace iteration and kernel polynomial methods, and apply them to a ResNet-20 trained on CIFAR-10, showing that class imbalance reshapes train–test geometry through induced misalignment. Together, these results establish eigenvector overlaps as the fundamental missing ingredient in local loss geometry, providing both theoretical foundations and practical tools for analyzing generalization in modern neural networks.

Realistic talking-head video generation is critical for virtual avatars, film production, and interactive systems. Current methods struggle with nuanced emotional expressions due to the lack of fine-grained emotion control. To address this issue, we introduce a novel two-stage method (AUHead) to disentangle fine-grained emotion control, i.e. , Action Units (AUs), from audio and achieve controllable generation. In the first stage, we explore the AU generation abilities of large audio-language models (ALMs), by spatial-temporal AU tokenization and an "emotion-then-AU" chain-of-thought mechanism. It aims to disentangle AUs from raw speech, effectively capturing subtle emotional cues. In the second stage, we propose an AU-driven controllable diffusion model that synthesizes realistic talking-head videos conditioned on AU sequences. Specifically, we first map the AU sequences into the structured 2D facial representation to enhance spatial fidelity, and then model the AU-vision interaction within cross-attention modules. To achieve flexible AU-quality trade-off control, we introduce an AU disentanglement guidance strategy during inference, further refining the emotional expressiveness and identity consistency of the generated videos. Results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our approach achieves competitive performance in emotional realism, accurate lip synchronization, and visual coherence, significantly surpassing existing techniques.

Assessing the privacy of large language models (LLMs) presents significant challenges. In particular, most existing methods for auditing *differential privacy* require the insertion of specially crafted canary data *during training*, making them impractical for auditing already-trained models without costly retraining. Additionally, *dataset inference*, which audits whether a suspect dataset was used to train a model, is *infeasible* without access to a private non-member held-out dataset. Yet, such held-out datasets are often unavailable or difficult to construct for real-world cases since they have to be from the same distribution (IID) as the suspect data. These limitations severely hinder the ability to conduct scalable, *post-hoc* audits. To enable such audits, this work introduces **natural identifiers (NIDs)** as a novel solution to the above-mentioned challenges. NIDs are structured random strings, such as cryptographic hashes and shortened URLs, naturally occurring in common LLM training datasets. Their format enables the generation of unlimited additional random strings from the same distribution, which can act as alternative canaries for audits and as same-distribution held-out data for dataset inference. Our evaluation highlights that indeed, using NIDs, we can facilitate post-hoc differential privacy auditing *without any retraining* and enable dataset inference for any suspect dataset containing NIDs without the need for a private non-member held-out dataset.

Spatial cognition is essential for human intelligence, enabling problem-solving through visual simulations rather than relying solely on verbal reasoning. However, existing AI benchmarks primarily assess verbal reasoning, neglecting the complexities of non-verbal, multi-step visual simulation. We introduce STARE (Spatial Transformations and Reasoning Evaluation), a benchmark designed to evaluate multimodal large language models on tasks better solved through multi-step visual simulation. STARE features ~4K tasks spanning foundational geometric transformations (2D and 3D), integrated spatial reasoning (cube net folding and tangram puzzles), and real-world spatial reasoning (perspective and temporal reasoning), reflecting practical cognitive challenges like object assembly, mechanical diagram interpretation, and everyday spatial navigation. Our evaluations show that models excel at reasoning over simpler 2D transformations, but perform close to random chance on more complex tasks like 3D cube net folding and tangram puzzles that require multi-step visual simulations. Humans achieve near-perfect accuracy but take considerable time (up to 28.0s) on complex tasks, reducing response time by 7.5 seconds on average with intermediate visual simulations. In contrast, models exhibit inconsistent performance gains from visual simulations, improving on most tasks but declining in specific cases like tangram puzzles (GPT-4o, o1) and cube net folding (Claude-3.5, Gemini-2.0 Flash), indicating that models cannot consistently leverage intermediate visual information. Even o3, a strong reasoning model, lags significantly behind human performance across tasks. By evaluating non-verbal visual reasoning beyond conventional text-based benchmarks, STARE highlights critical gaps in current AI spatial capabilities and sets a new standard for assessing spatial intelligence in multimodal models.

Recent advances in large-scale 3D scene reconstruction using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have spurred increasing interest in neural rendering techniques. However, existing approaches with conventional cameras struggle to capture consistent multi-view images of scenes, particularly in extremely blurred and low-light environments, due to the inherent limitations in dynamic range caused by long exposure and motion blur resulting from camera motion. As a promising solution, bio-inspired event cameras exhibit robustness in extreme scenarios, due to their high dynamic range and microsecond-level temporal resolution. Nevertheless, dedicated event datasets specifically tailored for large-scale UAV 3D scene reconstruction remain limited. To bridge this gap, we introduce SkyEvents, a pioneering large-scale event-enhanced UAV dataset for 3D scene reconstruction, incorporating RGB, event, and LiDAR data. SkyEvents encompasses 45 sequences, spanning over 8 hours of video, captured across a diverse set of illumination conditions, scenarios, and flight altitudes. To facilitate the event-based 3D scene reconstruction with SkyEvents, we propose the Geometry-constrained Timestamp Alignment (GTA) module to align timestamps between the event and RGB cameras. Furthermore, we introduce a Region-wise Event Rendering (RER) loss for supervising the rendering optimization. With SkyEvents, we aim to motivate and equip researchers to advance large-scale 3D scene reconstruction in challenging environments, harnessing the unique strengths of event cameras. Dataset and code will be available at https://github.com/Anthony-ECPKN/SkyEvent.

Computer Vision · Segmentation

Weijia Dou, Xu Zhang, Yi Bin, Jian Liu, Bo Peng, Guoqing Wang, Yang Yang, Heng Tao Shen

Recent attempts to transfer features from 2D Vision–Language Models (VLMs) to 3D semantic segmentation expose a persistent trade-off. Directly projecting 2D features into 3D yields noisy and fragmented predictions, whereas enforcing geometric coherence necessitates costly training pipelines and large-scale, annotated 3D data. We argue that this limitation stems from the dominant \textit{segmentation-and-matching} paradigm, which fails to reconcile 2D semantics with 3D geometric structure. The geometric cues are not eliminated during the 2D-to-3D transfer but remain latent within the noisy and view-aggregated features. To exploit this property, we propose \textbf{GeoPurify} that applies a small Student Affinity Network to purify 2D VLM-generated 3D point features using geometric priors distilled from a 3D self-supervised teacher model. During inference, we devise a Geometry-Guided Pooling module to further denoise the point cloud and ensure the semantic and structural consistency. Benefiting from latent geometric information and the learned affinity network, GeoPurify effectively mitigates the trade-off and achieves superior data efficiency. Extensive experiments on major 3D benchmarks demonstrate that GeoPurify achieves or surpasses state-of-the-art performance while utilizing only \textbf{$\sim$1.5\%} of the training data.
