Existing workflows focus on global reconstruction, training-time density control, or open-ended generative editing, leaving trained assets without precise local maintenance. We propose FocusGS, which unifies local repair and deterministic editing as composite spatial deltas. Repair is the purely additive special case: its base-manipulation term is empty, and it adds only local Gaussian bases; deterministic editing uses erase-insert factorization (EIF) to combine old-carrier erasure with new-content insertion. FocusGS addresses spatial gradient starvation: local repair raises target-r…

Annotating real imagery for every genotype-by-environment (G x E) combination a breeding program encounters is prohibitively expensive. We quantify how G x E shifts affect AI-based detection of cowpea flowers and pods across two California locations and two growing seasons. Flower detection mAP@50 fell from 76.3% to as low as 50.6% under unseen shifts, and pod detection was more sensitive. Feature-space and image-quality diagnostics confirmed these losses track measurable distributional shifts. Because closing this gap wit…

However, their evaluation remains dominated by high-resource datasets, leaving generalization to African cohorts underexplored. We assess whether FMs generalize equally to African and non-African brain MRI data across two tasks: dementia classification using a Nigerian dataset and brain tumor segmentation using BraTS-Africa. We evaluate two generalist FMs (BrainIAC, 3DINO) and two segmentation-specific FMs (MedSAM2, Medical-SAM2) against a from-scratch baseline. For classification, FMs provide limited gains (highest ROC-AUC of 0.86 with BrainIAC), whereas for segmentation they consistently improve performance, reaching up to 0.86 Dice wi…

This challenge is especially acute for deepfake detection, where foundation-model-based detectors often exhibit overconfident predictions on out-of-distribution manipulations, which limits their suitability for operational deployment. We propose an uncertainty-aware deepfake detection framework that identifies manipulations through inconsistencies across complementary evidence sources. The framework integrates three streams: a visual stream based on an adapted CLIP encoder, a semantic stream that models consistency among facial attributes through differentiabl…

However, standard flow matching treats all spatial frequencies uniformly, ignoring the natural frequency hierarchy where high-frequency bands become indistinguishable from pure noise far earlier than coarse structures. We introduce WaiT, a Wavelet-aware image Transformer that decomposes generation into coarse and fine bands via lossless wavelets. True to its name, the high-frequency bands wait for the signal: staying pure noise until coarse structure has emerged, then joining the flow for joint refinement. Since standard FID discards fine-grained detail thro…

Existing metal artifact reduction (MAR) methods remain limited: optimization-based methods may leave residual artifacts or blur structures, regression networks may generalize poorly across scenarios, and generative models without sample-specific structural guidance and physical constraints may produce anatomically inconsistent structures. Flow Matching learns a continuous-time velocity field that deterministically transports a source distribution to a target distribution, providing a…

Existing UME models either form embeddings through single forward encoding or add computation through explicit rationale tokens and latent autoregressive states. Although token expansion can improve complex matching, serial generation increases retrieval latency and makes the final embedding depend on generated intermediate states. This raises a different question: can useful computation be expanded along model depth while keeping the token workspace fixed? We analyze positive-negative similarity separation at every layer of independently trained UME models and observe a shared progression: early layers context…

The financial domain, demanding numerical precision and multi-step logic over long contexts, is an ideal testbed. Existing benchmarks fail to capture real-world industrial complexity, predominantly relying on multiple-choice questions or single-hop QA over cropped tables while ignoring intricate cross-statement dynamics and temporal de-cumulation. To bridge this gap, we introduce FinIndices, a large-scale benchmark evaluating data-processing fidelity over uncropped financial statements (up to 32K tokens). Utilizing an automated synthesis pipeline with adversarial traps, FinIndices encompasses Sin…

However, evaluating federated pre-training remains challenging because differences in client participation and local data availability can make directly comparable evaluation difficult. Moreover, pre-training test perplexity is tied to the pre-training distribution, while downstream benchmarks introduce task-specific adaptation that may not faithfully reflect the test perplexity established during pre-training. In this work, we study which evaluation protocol more reliably reflects federated pre-training quality. Using a controlled set of centralized and federated-trained mode…

Analyzing 22,500 trajectories across 3 domains (GAIA, SWE-bench, Multi-Challenge), we extract a semantic taxonomy of hallucination maneuvers, validated via deterministic lexical grounding ($p < 10^{-120}$). A logistic meta-evaluator isolates the exact syntactic triggers of this evaluator capture (ROC-AUC 0.8779), while a zero-shot Leave-One-Domain-Out transfer proves the vulnerability is universally domain-agnostic (mean ROC-AUC 0.7482).

However, we observe a systematic discrepancy in model predictions under such cross-modal variations. Specifically, we define the modality gap as the difference in model performance under semantically equivalent textual and multimodal inputs. We introduce TokenSwap, a method that constructs such inputs by replacing textual concepts with semantically aligned images, resulting in sequences where visual tokens are interleaved with text tokens. Based on TokenSwap, we transform existing text-based benchmarks such as MMLU into image-interleaved counterparts, resulting in TokenSwap-Bench. A…

On unambiguous tasks (BBQ-disambig), response-based distillation from a Gemma-2-9B teacher improves context-following: for the most biased baseline (SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct), it cuts the context-overriding error rate from 44% to 24%. On ambiguous tasks (BBQ-ambig), the same distillation destroys per-item refusal calibration: 15% of items where the baseline correctly abstained instead receive stereotype answers, even when overall refusal rate is preserved. The pattern reproduces on a second student family (OLMo-2-1B-Instruct), with silence-loss of 8% and filled-silence accounting for 89% of new bias. Across…

Viewed through the lens of predictive knowledge, we argue that this approach operates on episodic hindsight rather than predictive foresight, yielding brittle, path-dependent heuristics. To address this, we propose Stateful Knowledge Learning (SKL). SKL shifts the agent's focus from trajectory-level summarization to maintaining Stateful Knowledge: explicit, declarative predictive assessments anchored to state. We first demonstrate a motivating example showing how stateful knowledge provides granularity, enhances generalization, and enables knowledge bootstrapping. To furt…

Our approach adapts the Robust Adaptation of Hateful Meme Detection (RA-HMD) framework using Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct, a state-of-the-art vision-language model with native Devanagari support.

Existing mitigations mostly rely on prompt-driven debiasing, which is brittle across bias types, or human evaluation, which does not scale. We study \emph{Chain-of-Models} (CoM), an automated audit pipeline in which a second model inspects the first model's reasoning trace before producing the final judgment. The key design question is whether the auditor should be the same model, a same-family model, or a different-family model. Across 9 models from 6 families, 4 cognitive biases, and 4 factual datasets, we find that auditor identity matters in two ways. First, standalone bias resistance does not predict audit…

To tackle this challenge, our paper presents a novel unsupervised data augmentation method that integrates Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs). Due to their flexibility and robustness, GMMs can detect clusters corresponding to underrepresented areas in the data, while LLMs create synthetic documents to enrich these clusters and improve their representation. Experiments on various imbalanced text datasets demonstrate that our approach preserves clustering performance in all cases and often enhances clust…

The study investigated various prompting strategies and parameter settings across multiple LLMs. LLM performance was compared with encoder-only language models and feature-based supervised machine learning models.

This work adopts a one-to-many, multi-task disaggregation setting, in which a single network estimates multiple industrial machine loads from aggregate power. Under a unified evaluation protocol on IMDELD, we benchmark Seq2Seq, Seq2SubSeq, Seq2Point, GRU, and WaveNet using energy-estimation metrics and the accuracy-delay criterion. While Seq2Point offers a stronger accuracy-delay balance than Seq2Seq/Seq2SubSeq, GRU and WaveNet achieve higher accuracy at markedly higher computational cost.

Recent methods that utilize graph neural networks (GNNs) for analysis of brain functional connectivity have shown great potential for the classification of brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, these methods often assume a preset number of functional modules across all subjects, which overlooks inter-subject variability. In addition, the discovered modules are rarely used to directly guide the learned connectivity patterns. Here, to address these issues, we propose a Meta Probabilistic Pooling GNN (MPP-GNN). We frame the model's task as a coupled, bilevel optimization that performs adaptive graph p…

We identify four interpretability gaps that limit answering these questions for {\em physics laws over continuous variables}: the absence of a coverage-aware causal-consistency measure over continuous counterfactuals; of a domain-of-validity test for the identified circuit; of a verification of the law's invariants and forbidden behaviors; and of a quantification of how a derived physical quantity flows through the circuit.

We ask which \emph{joint} distributions over the routing choices of different tokens are reachable while every individual token's complete routing law is held exactly fixed. We give a two-sided construction, \emph{Hierarchical Copula-Gumbel-Top-$K$} (\CGA{}).

Where LoRA adds an update of low rank to weight matrices, LARA reads the hidden state at a small set of layers and adds a correction of low rank back to the residual stream, leaving all base weights untouched. On a code fine-tuning task and on preference optimization (DPO), LARA matches LoRA at equal parameter counts. Because adaptation is a frozen base plus a residual, LARA exposes a scale {\gamma}, applied at inference, that interpolates smoothly between base and adapted behavior, a form of graded control that adaptation in weight space d…

Despite the empirical success of this dynamical approach, a theoretical understanding of why it works, how well it scales as a function of the token sequence, and when it transfers across embedding models remains lacking. We address these questions by formalizing the classification task as a binary hypothesis test between two stochastic linear DSs. We show that the total variation distance between the stationary marginal distributions of the two DSs can be arbitrarily small even when the d…
