    KVeil: First-Place Solution to ECCV 2026 LifeGenIP Challenge on Unlearnable Videos

    Boheng Li, Yueming Xing, Yiming Li, Jie Zhang, Han Qiu +1

    The rapid development of personalized video generation has raised serious concerns over identity privacy, as a few facial videos of a person now suffice to reproduce their identity in synthetic videos. This report presents the first-place solutions to both phases of the ECCV 2026 LifeGenIP Challenge on Unlearnable Videos, which aims to protect facial videos from unauthorized customization under a limited and imperceptible perturbation budget. For Phase 1, we introduce Reference Capacity Collapse, a pair of complementary losses that degrade the information carried by the reference condition while keeping subsequent video representations dependent on it, together with a Motion-Guided EOT mechanism that improves robustness across unknown inference conditions. Phase 2 further considers tuning-based customization and unseen generative models. To address both threats within a single perturbation, we design a two-layer framework that protects the facial and background regions separately, constructing structure-aligned perturbations from a synthetic target identity in the former and strengthening the white-box disruption of Phase 1 in the latter. Our method achieves nearly perfect…

    LAPT-Scale: Scaling Embodied Policies with Latent Action Pre-Training on Human Videos

    Zhiyuan Xiang, Peidong Liu, Mingyang Li, Jiawei Li, Wenhow Li +2

    Scaling generalist robotic policies is limited by the high cost of collecting embodied interaction data. Large-scale egocentric human videos offer a rich alternative, but they lack robot action labels, and existing action annotation methods are often noisy under real-world visual complexity and diverse manipulation dynamics. We introduce LAPT-Scale, a scalable latent action pre-training paradigm with two components: LAPT-Scale-LAM learns continuous latent actions by explaining frame-to-frame visual transitions in human videos and uses them as human-derived supervision, while LAPT-Scale-Policy trains a VLA policy through human-video latent-action pre-training, target-robot embodiment alignment, and task-specific post-training. Unlike prior vector-quantized LAMs, LAPT-Scale-LAM uses a continuous latent space to preserve fine-grained motion and interaction dynamics. We further combine perceptual, semantic, and optical-flow alignment signals to improve transition-level supervision beyond pixel reconstruction. Trained on 23.3K hours of egocentric video, LAPT-Scale-LAM provides implicit action supervision for policy pre-training, yielding consistent scaling gains and improving…

    SeoulMMOD: A Large-Scale Multimodal Origin-Destination Flow Benchmark

    Taeyoung Yu, Seonbin Jo, Jiwon Kim, Junyoung Byun

    Origin-destination (OD) flow forecasting supports urban mobility decisions by predicting the volume and patterns of human movement across a city. Most existing public OD benchmarks provide only a partial view of citywide mobility, covering a single transport service or at most two modes. With partial mode coverage, observed demand changes are difficult to separate into shifts across transport modes and changes in total travel. We introduce SeoulMMOD, a large-scale public benchmark for citywide multimodal mobility in Seoul. SeoulMMOD provides three years of hourly OD flows estimating total mobility for 6 urban travel modes across 25 districts and 426 sub-districts, together with travel-time, travel-distance, calendar, rainfall, and point-of-interest (POI) signals. Using SeoulMMOD, we benchmark 14 forecasting baselines under a common protocol and analyse the effects of spatial scaling, joint versus mode-separate training, and cross-year generalization. Results show that several spatio-temporal models that work at district level do not scale to sub-district OD forecasting, and that naive joint multi-mode training does not consistently improve accuracy. Together, the dataset and…

    Long-Horizon-Terminal-Bench 2.0: Automating Diverse Task Construction and Measuring Sustained Agent Progress

    Zongxia Li, Zhongzhi Li, Yucheng Shi, Ruhan Wang, Junyao Yang +12

    Long-horizon terminal benchmarks measure whether an agent can sustain progress through extended workflows with process rewards, not only whether its final state passes a binary check. We present Long-Horizon-Terminal-Bench 2.0 (LHTB 2.0), an extension of Long-Horizon-Terminal-Bench that preserves its 46 original tasks while correcting task and evaluation-infrastructure defects and extending 31 tasks. LHTB 2.0 contains 77 tasks across 13 domains and eight task types. The extended tasks are produced through a systematic reconstruction-task pipeline. We start from a working scientific or engineering artifact, then use a parameterized reference implementation to generate multiple scenarios, reveal six as behavioral evidence, hold out three for evaluation, and use dense progress ladders to reward partial progress while preventing memorization of public outputs. We also extend the evaluation horizon from 90 minutes to three hours and record verifier checkpoints every 30 minutes, enabling direct measurement of sustained progress within a run. Across 1,145 scored model-task runs from 15 frontier models, GPT-6-astra leads with dense mean reward 0.69 and 37 tasks at R at least 0.95,…

    Amortized Counterfactual Prediction with Graph Neural Networks

    Hendrik Stumpf, Francesco Quinzan

    Counterfactual inference asks how an observed outcome might have differed under different circumstances, such as whether a patient would have recovered had they received a different treatment. Such questions arise whenever decisions depend on the outcomes of alternatives that were not observed. Answering counterfactual queries generally requires knowledge of the underlying causal structure, which is often unavailable in practice. A common approach is therefore to first estimate the causal graph from observational data and then perform counterfactual inference. However, errors in the estimated causal graph can propagate to downstream counterfactual predictions. To address this challenge, we introduce the Counterfactual Graph Neural Process (CFGNP), an end-to-end approach that answers counterfactual queries directly from observational data without first estimating a causal graph. CFGNP uses Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to exploit the dual-graph structure by restricting cross-world message passing to corresponding factual--counterfactual variables. Across synthetic and image-based benchmarks, CFGNP achieves stronger predictive performance than existing approaches, including on the…

    Enhancing Legal Reasoning in Pre-trained Language Models via Knowledge Graph-Guided Multi-Task Pre-training

    Ibrahim Siddig, Munir Georges

    Legal language understanding requires reasoning over semi-structured regulatory documents, yet standard pre-training objectives do not explicitly target this structural capability. Because current legal language models rely solely on masked language modeling, they treat statutory text as flat token sequences and ignore the underlying hierarchical constraints. To bridge this gap, we present a multi-task pre-training approach for German traffic law (StVO). Our approach combines three complementary objectives: Next Sentence Prediction (NSP), Knowledge Graph (KG) Guided Clustering (CLU), and Knowledge Graph (KG) Aware Paragraph Classification (CLS). This approach explicitly encodes structured legal knowledge directly into the model weights. This encoding enables zero-shot legal reasoning at inference time and removes the need for discrete graph traversal. We evaluate our approach across nine Transformer-based encoders and 324 experimental runs. On synthetic StVO question answering, our models demonstrate consistent relative improvements between 10.3% and 155.0% over baselines. Furthermore, relative to the established LexGLUE baselines (Chalkidis et al., 2022), our models improve over…

    State-Isolated Vision Mamba via Update-Tendency Routing for Underwater Image Enhancement

    Yan Luo, Laibin Chang, Zefan Feng, Yi'ang Chen, Kui Jiang +1

    Vision Mamba has recently emerged as an efficient alternative to convolutional and Transformer-based architectures by modeling long-range spatial dependencies through recurrent state evolution. Existing studies primarily improve token serialization, scanning strategies, or expert routing, yet largely overlook a state level question question: how should recurrent states be organized for spatially heterogeneous visual restoration? In this paper, we show that forcing tokens with heterogeneous update behaviors to recurrently modify a shared hidden state leads to persistent cross-content interference, which we term \textbf{State Contention}. We further argue that effective recurrent modeling should organize state evolution according to token compatibility rather than token ordering. Based on this observation, we introduce \textbf{State Isolation}, a new recurrent state organization principle for Vision Mamba,tokens with compatible state-update tendencies evolve within independent recurrent state streams. To instantiate this principle, we propose \textbf{IsoMamba}, a $Δ$-guided architecture that constructs model-intrinsic update representations, discovers update-compatible token groups…

    Machine Unlearning for Federated Socially Fair k-Means Clustering

    Aravind Reddy, Deeraj S K, Mohd Wasif Raza, Saurav Prakash

    Federated clustering can support applications such as patient stratification across hospitals and customer segmentation across distributed financial datasets. Responsible AI calls for fair representation of demographic groups and support for data deletion, motivated in part by rights such as the GDPR's right to erasure. These goals interact: deleting records can change the balance between groups and alter the clustering of the remaining population. We study exact machine unlearning for federated socially fair $k$-means, whose objective is to minimize the largest group-average squared distance to the nearest center. Our approach keeps separate local summaries for each group, so summaries at unaffected institutions remain valid as global fairness weights change. For two groups, we prove an initialization approximation guarantee independent of client group proportions under ideal sampling, and we show that same-seed replay reproduces retraining exactly. Reuse pays off most when a whole client withdraws: across three datasets, replay is $35.8\times$ faster than retraining for the initialization-only model and remains $2.4\times$ and $1.7\times$ faster with one and two fair-refinement…

    C$^2$LUE: Clinically Aligned Patient-Level Ultrasound Diagnosis via Evidence-Aware Multi-Instance Learning

    Qin-Yi Zhang, Linying Cao, De-Xing Huang, Haichuan Lin, Yi Yang +5

    Patient-level ultrasound diagnosis demands not only high predictive accuracy but also clinically aligned mitigation of asymmetric diagnostic risks. While Multi-Instance Learning (MIL) effectively models routine multi-view exams, standard aggregators often dilute heterogeneous diagnostic cues and optimize solely for global accuracy. This frequently yields undesirable sensitivity-specificity trade-offs. To bridge this gap, we propose C$^2$LUE, a novel MIL framework coupling evidence aware aggregation with risk-aligned regularization. To preserve evidence heterogeneity and prevent unimodal attention collapse, C$^2$LUE employs a multi-query cross-attention mechanism built upon a LoRA-adapted DINOv3 backbone. Multiple latent queries explicitly extract and disentangle diverse morphological patterns from the ultrasound sequence. Furthermore, to improve clinical risk alignment, we introduce a dynamic trade-off regularization objective that penalizes sensitivity-specificity imbalance during training. Rather than leaving the clinical trade-off entirely to post-hoc threshold adjustment, this objective encourages the learned score distribution toward a more balanced operating region.…

    Towards Understanding the Training of GFlowNets: A Theoretical Perspective

    Rui Hu, Yu Chen, Zhuoran Li, Longbo Huang

    Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) learn policies that sample discrete objects in proportion to a positive reward. They are trained by minimizing balance objectives, whose exact satisfaction guarantees correct sampling. However, a comprehensive theory linking nonzero balance loss and approximate stationarity to sampling accuracy, especially under evolving sampling distributions and backward policies, is still lacking. To bridge this gap, we develop a unified theory for Flow Matching, Detailed Balance, and Trajectory Balance in this regime. We first bound terminal symmetric KL by the square root of the expected balance loss. Then, we show that approximate stationarity controls this distribution error up to a tangent-space residual measuring parameterization incompleteness. Finally, we establish finite-time convergence under fixed or controlled sampling and fixed, balance-trained, or separately updated backward policies. Under standard smoothness assumptions, with fixed or controlled sampling and a fixed or balance-trained backward policy, the expected loss is $O(\barε^2+T^{-1})$ and expected terminal symmetric KL is $O(\barε+T^{-1/2})$ under uniform coverage. For a separately…

    Adaptive DHiSparse: Speculative Decoding over a Load-Adaptive KV Hierarchy

    Naji Alazhar, Wassel Alazhar

    Long-context serving runs out of KV memory before the hardware reaches its useful throughput. HiSparse stores history in host memory and fetches only the selected entries, but it uses one cache budget at every load and does not handle draft-model speculative decoding such as DSpark and DFlash2. We present Adaptive DHiSparse, which supports speculative decoding over hierarchical sparse KV and adapts residency to load. It protects the required working set, retains additional history while GPU memory is spare, and recovers the rest through exact fused retrieval. DSpark and DFlash2 keep their proposal and acceptance rules: queries share missing-row retrieval, draft KV uses a window-bounded ring, and verification staging is reused across layer groups. At 100K context and concurrency 128, GLM-5.3 with DFlash2 delivers 793 output tokens/s per decode GPU, 1.45$\times$ HiSparse and 1.27$\times$ non-speculative adaptive serving. Held to the same latency bounds as HiSparse, it sustains up to 4$\times$ the concurrency and 2.3 to 3.7$\times$ the output, depending on the per-token bound. On DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash at 500K context and concurrency 512, Adaptive DHiSparse with DSpark delivers…

    GLIMPSE: Global-Local Indexing with Multi-Precision Spectral Encoding for Explorable Video World Models

    Zhufeng Xu, Henglei Lv, Bailin Deng, Yikang Ding, Xiaoqiang Liu +3

    A camera-controlled video world model must keep a scene consistent when the camera returns to it. Memories that render stored features into the target frame can turn depth and pose errors into ghosting or duplicated structure. Positional transport avoids that resampling by relocating a historical patch's address rather than its content, but assigns full positional precision even to inaccurate projections. We present GLIMPSE, a global-local memory interface with band-wise multi-precision coordinates and geometry-conditioned spectral attenuation to reduce sensitivity to inaccurate projected addresses. Local patch memory supplies view-specific appearance, while recurrent global memory provides scene context. Footprint-guided retrieval selects historical patches under a fixed local read budget. Under matched retrieval and read budgets, GLIMPSE improves geometric correspondence and photometric consistency over deterministic positional transport.

    A Baseline Assessment for the Agentic Web Technology Stack

    Vagner Figueredo de Santana, Diogo Cortiz

    The fast pace in which protocols, frameworks, and technologies are being proposed for LLM-based agents results in a complex scenario for anyone aiming to create state-of-the-art AI solutions. Without an assessment on how different protocols, frameworks, and libraries work together to compose an Agentic Web solution, developers and organizations face different challenges (e.g., skilling, governance, infrastructure) even before becoming part of the Agentic Web ecosystem. In this context, we propose a system for performing Agentic Web evaluations called MASTIF (Multi-Agent System TestIng Framework) and present a baseline assessment of Agentic Web technologies, including 3 LLMs, 3 protocols, and 4 agent implementation frameworks, against 300 Mind2Web benchmark tasks. Results suggest that selecting a task-specific technology stack may result in gains of task completion rate, efficiency score, and social value stability scores; and reductions in verbosity and time to complete tasks. With the presented results, we expect to present a baseline in terms of metrics and results for this complex and fast evolving scenario for those aiming at designing, assessing, and developing multi-agent…

    Improving Semantic Coverage in AI Test & Evaluation through Generative Augmentation

    Connor Hashemi, Bharadwaj Ravichandran, Connor Anderson, Shitij Govil, Brandon RichardWebster +2

    In test and evaluation (T&E) of AI models, evaluators typically have access only to a held-out test dataset and no knowledge of the training data or its semantic composition. If critical input conditions---such as time-of-day, weather, or scene location---are underrepresented in this test dataset, T&E results can be misleadingly due to this semantic coverage gap. We propose a three-stage generative AI pipeline to detect and fill such semantic gaps without requiring ground-truth labels of these semantics. First, vision-language models (VLMs) perform zero-shot binary labeling of semantic factors, and an embedding-space clustering step identifies which semantics most affect downstream model behavior. Second, diffusion-based image-to-image models transform existing covered images into the underrepresented semantic domain, preserving scene content while augmenting high-level appearance. Third, statistical analysis of the augmented image embeddings verifies that the synthetic imagery improves dataset coverage before it is incorporated. Crucially, the synthetic data is used only to enrich the test set and no model retraining is performed for T&E. We validate the full pipeline on both…

    Verifiable Retrieval for Legal Reasoning through Structure-driven Knowledge Graph

    Ibrahim Siddig, Sviatoslav Tugeev, Munir Georges

    Any automation within reliability-critical contexts such as medicine or law has to be transparent and verifiable. Despite their advantages, current LLM-based systems do not meet these requirements due to their inherent black-box nature. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) attempts to ground the generative process in the relevant interpretable documents, thereby reducing the risk of AI 'hallucinations' and potentially enabling verification of the initial generation context. However, as the number and size of potential sources increases, naive retrieval approaches tend to perform worse, ignoring critical context elements. In this paper we aim to tackle this problem in the context of German Legal Code. Using structure-driven parsing to create a Knowledge Graph (KG) for the source document navigation and retrieval, we compare several KG-informed chunking and retrieval strategies and evaluate their effect on the accuracy of retrieved citations.

    Calibration in One Go: Jointly Learning Accurate and Calibrated Neural Networks

    Nektarios Kalampalikis, Pablo M. Olmos, Isabel Valera

    Neural networks (NNs), while highly flexible and versatile, are often poorly calibrated. Post-hoc calibration methods adjust the outputs of an already trained model using a separate calibration dataset and additional calibration parameters. This process adds overhead that requires separate optimization of the calibrator and subsequent model selection. In this paper, we show that standard (post-hoc) calibrators can be trained end-to-end with the backbone via a bilevel Stackelberg formulation. This formulation eliminates the need for a separate calibration set or a dedicated calibration loss by jointly optimizing accuracy and calibration using cross-entropy, introducing only one additional hyperparameter: the calibrator learning rate. Although our framework supports calibrators ranging from temperature and matrix scaling to NN layers, our results show that using the final classification layer itself as the calibrator yields accurate, well-calibrated models with no additional parameters. Our approach outperforms SOTA calibrators with minimal added complexity, while also avoiding the multiplicative overhead of separate calibration components in settings such as multi-task learning.

    Variance-Reduced Policy Gradient is Nearly Minimax-Optimal

    Leonardo Cesani, Matteo Papini, Marcello Restelli

    Standard Policy Gradient (PG) algorithms suffer from high estimation variance because they rely on Monte Carlo updates. While off-policy variance reduction mitigates this problem, establishing optimal sample complexity currently requires either restrictive assumptions, such as uniformly bounded importance weights, or impractical second-order operations. In this work, we introduce Loopless Variance-Reduced PG (LVR-PG), a unified theoretical framework that abstracts a class of first-order estimators that integrate recursive updates with defensive importance sampling, including known estimators such as PAGE-PG and STORM-PG. We prove that this algorithmic class achieves $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(ε^{-2})$ last-iterate global convergence under weak gradient domination for general parametric policies. We establish this guarantee using purely first-order updates, with minimal assumptions and without gradient preconditioners. By extending state-of-the-art lower bounds to continuous parametric policies, we establish an $Ω(ε^{-2})$ sample complexity limit, confirming our framework is minimax-optimal up to logarithmic factors and horizon terms.

    Transformer-based In-Context Score Operator Learning for Diffusion Models

    Wuzhe Xu, Zhaiming Shen, Yulong Lu, Wenjing Liao, Rongjie Lai

    Diffusion models typically learn the generative dynamics of a single target distribution or a family of distributions indexed by conditioning variables fixed during training. This limits their ability to adapt to a previously unseen distribution from only a small set of examples. We introduce an in-context solution operator learning framework for diffusion models, in which each target distribution is treated as a task drawn from a meta-distribution and is specified at inference time by an empirical context set. Our method learns an in-context score operator that maps the context samples, a noisy query point, and the diffusion time to the task-dependent score, enabling reverse-diffusion sampling on unseen tasks without retraining or parameter updates. A key observation is that the task-dependent score admits a Gaussian-kernel conditional-mean representation. Its empirical Nadaraya--Watson approximation can be represented exactly by a model in our constructed transformer class, providing a principled foundation for the proposed query-dependent attention architecture. The operator is trained through amortized denoising score matching across task distributions. We establish…

    VQIL: Visible Quantum Interference Learning for Perturbation Response Ranking on Graphs

    Seokjun Lee, Sergio A. Ortega, Daniel K. Park, Namshik Han

    Learning how local perturbations affect a network is important for identifying which components drive or absorb a system's response. We formulate this as seed-conditioned response ranking: given a perturbation at one seed node, ranking all other nodes by response strength. This is challenging when the model is given only the interaction topology, while the mechanism governing how perturbations propagate must be learned from data. We present VQIL (Visible Quantum Interference Learning), a trainable Szegedy quantum walk for seed-conditioned ranking. Edge weights, link phases, and per-node phase rotations are optimized end-to-end by backpropagation while the walk operator remains unitary throughout training. Node scores are obtained from a geometrically discounted coherent sum of quantum-walk amplitudes, enabling quantum interference before the final squared-norm readout. Because each learned parameter is attached to a named edge or node, the trained model provides directly inspectable hypotheses about the roles of individual graph components in the propagation mechanism. On AC power-flow perturbations over six transmission grids, with electrical parameters withheld from the model,…

    X-AVDD: Cross-Attentive Audio-Visual Dataset Distillation

    Saumyaranjan Mohanty, Aravind Reddy, Konda Reddy Mopuri

    Audio-visual dataset distillation aims to synthesize a small dataset from a large paired audio-visual dataset, while nearly preserving the training utility for neural networks. Existing approaches such as DM and AVDD face two critical limitations: 1) they are memory-intensive, making them difficult to scale to complex architectures and higher samples-per-class (SPC) settings, and 2) they often fail to preserve strong cross-modal semantic correspondence. To tackle these issues, we propose X-AVDD, a cross-attention-based distillation method that explicitly captures inter-modal relationships during synthesis. By decoupling cross-modal alignment from joint optimization, X-AVDD is substantially more memory-efficient, reducing end-to-end synthesis cost by $\sim 8\times$ GPU-hours, while producing highly aligned synthetic data. Empirically, X-AVDD significantly outperforms other audio-visual distillation methods. On VGGSound, an audio-visual dataset of short YouTube clips, X-AVDD improves top-1 test accuracy from $8.2\%\rightarrow24.0\%$ at SPC=$10$ and $9.8\%\rightarrow26.5\%$ at SPC=$20$. Furthermore, X-AVDD improves cross-architecture generalization (e.g., $25.5\%\rightarrow35.3\%$…
