Despite the remarkable progress of 3D generation, achieving controllability, i.e., ensuring consistency between generated 3D content and input conditions like edge and depth, remains a significant challenge. Existing methods often struggle to maintain accurate alignment, leading to noticeable discrepancies. To address this issue, we propose CyC3D, a new framework that enhances controllable 3D generation by explicitly encouraging cyclic consistency between the second-order 3D content, generated based on extracted signals from the first-order generation, and its original input controls. Specifically, we employ an efficient feed-forward backbone that can generate a 3D object from an input condition and a text prompt. Given an initial viewpoint and a control signal, a novel view is rendered from the generated 3D content, from which the extracted condition is used to regenerate the 3D content. This re-generated output is then rendered back to the initial viewpoint, followed by another round of control signal extraction, forming a cyclic process with two consistency constraints. View consistency ensures coherence between the two generated 3D objects, measured by semantic similarity to accommodate generative diversity. Condition consistency aligns the final extracted signal with the original input control, preserving structural or geometric details throughout the process. Extensive experiments on popular benchmarks demonstrate that CyC3D significantly improves controllability, especially for fine-grained details, outperforming existing methods across various conditions (e.g., +14.17% PSNR for edge, +6.26% PSNR for sketch).

Reconstructing high-resolution (HR) 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) models from low-resolution (LR) inputs remains challenging due to the lack of fine-grained textures and geometry. Existing methods typically rely on pre-trained 2D super-resolution (2DSR) models to enhance textures, but suffer from 3D Gaussian ambiguity arising from cross-view inconsistencies and domain gaps inherent in 2DSR models. We propose IE-SRGS, a novel 3DGS SR paradigm that addresses this issue by jointly leveraging the complementary strengths of external 2DSR priors and internal 3DGS features. Specifically, we use 2DSR and depth estimation models to generate HR images and depth maps as external knowledge, and employ multi-scale 3DGS models to produce cross-view consistent, domain-adaptive counterparts as internal knowledge. A mask-guided fusion strategy is introduced to integrate these two sources and synergistically exploit their complementary strengths, effectively guiding the 3D Gaussian optimization toward high-fidelity reconstruction. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world benchmarks show that IE-SRGS consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both quantitative accuracy and visual fidelity. Code will be released after review.

IE-SRGS: An Internal-External Knowledge Fusion Framework for High-Fidelity 3D Gaussian Splatting Super-Resolution

Existing Large Language Models (LLMs) occasionally generate plausible yet factually incorrect responses, known as hallucinations. Researchers are primarily using two approaches to mitigate hallucinations, namely Retrieval Augmented Language Models (RALMs) and refusal post-training. However, current research predominantly emphasizes their individual effectiveness while overlooking the evaluation of the refusal capability of RALMs. In this study, we ask the fundamental question: Do RALMs know when they don’t know? Specifically, we ask three questions. First, are RALMs well-calibrated regarding different internal and external knowledge states? We examine the influence of various factors. Contrary to expectations, we find that LLMs exhibit significant \textbf{over-refusal} behavior. Then, how does refusal post-training affect the over-refusal issue? We investigate the Refusal-aware Instruction Tuning and In-Context Fine-Tuning methods. Our results show that the over-refusal problem is mitigated by In-Context Fine-Tuning. but magnified by R-tuning. However, we also find that the refusal ability may conflict with the quality of the answer. Finally, we develop a simple yet effective refusal method for refusal post-trained models to improve their overall answer quality in terms of refusal and correct answers. Our study provides a more comprehensive understanding of the influence of important factors on RALM systems.

Do Retrieval Augmented Language Models Know When They Don’t Know?

There is a growing demand for deploying large generative AI models on mobile devices. For recent popular video generative models, however, the Variational AutoEncoder (VAE) represents one of the major computational bottlenecks. Both large parameter sizes and mismatched kernels cause out-of-memory errors or extremely slow inference on mobile devices. To address this, we propose a low-cost solution that efficiently transfers widely used video VAEs to mobile devices. (1) We analyze redundancy in existing VAE architectures and get empirical design insights. By integrating 3D depthwise separable convolutions into our model, we significantly reduce the number of parameters. (2) We observe that the upsampling techniques in mainstream video VAEs are poorly suited to mobile hardware and form the main bottleneck. In response, we propose a decoupled 3D pixel shuffle scheme that slashes end-to-end delay. Building upon these, we develop a universal mobile-oriented VAE decoder, Turbo-VAED. (3) We propose an efficient VAE decoder training method. Since only the decoder is used during deployment, we distill it to Turbo-VAED instead of retraining the full VAE, enabling fast mobile adaptation with minimal performance loss. To our knowledge, our method enables real-time 720p video VAE decoding on mobile devices for the first time. This approach is widely applicable to most video VAEs. When integrated into four representative models, with training cost as low as $95, it accelerates original VAEs by up to 84.5× at 720p resolution on GPUs, uses as low as 17.5% of original parameter count, and retains 96.9% of the original reconstruction quality. Compared to mobile-optimized VAEs, Turbo-VAED achieves a 2.9× speedup in FPS and better reconstruction quality on the iPhone 16 Pro.

Turbo-VAED: Fast and Stable Transfer of Video-VAEs to Mobile Devices

The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has resulted in increasingly sophisticated AI-generated content, posing significant challenges in distinguishing LLM-generated text from human-written language. Existing detection methods, primarily based on lexical heuristics or fine-tuned classifiers, often suffer from limited generalizability and are vulnerable to paraphrasing, adversarial perturbations, and cross-domain shifts. In this work, we propose SentiDetect, a model-agnostic framework for detecting LLM-generated text by analyzing the divergence in sentiment distribution stability. Our method is motivated by the empirical observation that LLM outputs tend to exhibit emotionally consistent patterns, whereas human-written texts display greater emotional variability. To capture this phenomenon, we define two complementary metrics: sentiment distribution consistency and sentiment distribution preservation, which quantify stability under sentiment-altering and semantic-preserving transformations. We evaluate SentiDetect on five diverse domains and a range of advanced LLMs, including Gemini-1.5-Pro, Claude-3, GPT-4-0613, and LLaMa-3.3. Experimental results demonstrate its superiority over state-of-the-art baselines, with over 16% and 11% F1 score improvements on Gemini-1.5-Pro and GPT-4-0613, respectively. Moreover, SentiDetect also shows greater robustness to paraphrasing, adversarial attacks, and text length variations, outperforming existing detectors in challenging scenarios.

Model-Agnostic Sentiment Distribution Stability Analysis for Robust LLM-Generated Texts Detection

Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) plays a critical role in tasks of embodied AI, particularly in unseen environments following natural language instructions. Recent advancements leverage large language models (LLMs) to improve the accuracy and generalizability of VLN systems by encoding image sequences as dense token representations. However, this tokenization approach incurs substantial computational overhead due to two key inefficiencies: 1) ego-centric camera views often include navigation-irrelevant re-
gions (e.g., sky or distant backgrounds), and 2) high-frame-rate image sequences introduce temporal redundancy. To address these challenges, we propose Spatial-Temporal Efficient Visual Token Pruning (STEP-Nav), a unified frame-
work that simultaneously prunes redundant visual tokens and fine-tunes VLN models to preserve navigation performance. In particular, STEP-Nav incorporates a distance- and content-aware token evaluation mechanism to remove irrelevant tokens at the spatial level, along with temporal level similarity-based filtering to reduce redundancy across sequential frames. To ensure pruning does not harm task performance, we introduce a distortion-aware fine-tuning strategy that aligns pruned-token representations with their full-token
counterparts while maintaining navigation accuracy. Experiments on the R2R and RxR benchmarks using Navid-CE and
NavGPT-2 as base models demonstrate that STEP-Nav preserves over 95% of the performance while reducing 66.7% of tokens, outperforming existing token pruning baselines.

Recent advances in editing technologies for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have made it simple to manipulate 3D scenes. However, these technologies raise concerns about potential malicious manipulation of 3D content. To avoid such malicious applications, localizing tampered regions becomes crucial. In this paper, we propose GS-Checker, a novel method for locating tampered areas in 3DGS models. Our approach integrates a 3D tampering attribute into the 3D Gaussian parameters to indicate whether the Gaussian has been tampered. Additionally, we design a 3D contrastive mechanism by comparing the similarity of key attributes between 3D Gaussians to seek tampering cues at 3D level. Furthermore, we introduce a cyclic optimization strategy to refine the 3D tampering attribute, enabling more accurate tampering localization. Notably, our approach does not require expensive 3D labels for supervision. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method to locate the tampered 3DGS area.

GS-Checker: Tampering Localization for 3D Gaussian Splatting

A key challenge in graph out-of-distribution (OOD) detection lies in the absence of ground-truth OOD samples during training. Existing methods are typically optimized to capture features within the in-distribution (ID) data and calculate OOD scores, which often limits pre-trained models from representing distributional boundaries, leading to unreliable OOD detection. Moreover, the latent structure of graph data is often governed by multiple underlying factors, which remains less explored. To address these challenges, we propose a novel test-time graph OOD detection method, termed BaCa, that calibrates OOD scores using dual dynamically updated dictionaries without requiring fine-tuning the pre-trained model. Specifically, BaCa estimates graphons and applies a mix-up strategy solely with test samples to generate diverse boundary-aware discriminative topologies, eliminating the need for exposing auxiliary datasets as outliers. We construct dual dynamic dictionaries via priority queues and attention mechanisms to adaptively capture latent ID and OOD representations, which are then utilized for boundary-aware OOD score calibration. To the best of our knowledge, extensive experiments on real-world datasets show that BaCa significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in OOD detection.

Recent advances in spatial transcriptomics have enabled the simultaneous measurement of gene expression profiles and spatial location information, offering a more comprehensive and in-depth view for studying the tissue microenvironment. Spatial domain identification is a crucial step in analyzing spatial transcriptomics. However, current methods have poor accuracy and visualization because they lack self-adaptability to different tissue data, and moreover, they cannot effectively extract spatial location information. To address these issues, we propose an adaptive graph contrastive learning framework based on multi-head graph attention networks (GATCL) for spatial domain identification. Specifically, we design a data augmentation module to mask and shuffle the pre-processed gene expression data to generate more differentiated negative samples. In addition, we construct the multi-head graph attention networks (MHGAT) to encode gene expression profiles and spatial location information. More importantly, we design an adaptive graph contrastive learning model that works both with positive and negative samples from spatial transcriptomics. We introduce the attention pooling mechanism to dynamically and adaptively aggregate the spots' neighborhood information, and to improve the model's generalization ability for different spatial transcriptomics data. Furthermore, we design a discriminator that adds spectral normalization to bilinear functions. Experimental results on DLPFC, breast cancer, and mouse somatosensory cortex datasets demonstrate that the average Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) scores are 0.5746, 0.6182, and 0.5319, respectively, significantly outperforming state-of-the-art methods. More importantly, GATCL provides a more detailed visualization of different spatial transcriptomics data.

Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs) test whether a model has memorized training data, and are a key tool for auditing privacy risks in machine learning. Recent papers report near-perfect MIA success against large vision-language models such as CLIP, but almost all evaluations train on one web-scale corpus (e.g. LAION-400M) and treat samples from a different corpus (e.g. COCO or CC12M) as non-members -- thereby turning the task into out-of-distribution (OOD) detection rather than true membership testing, introducing spurious signals unrelated to true memorization.

We revisit the problem with a distribution-matched benchmark built from the CommonPool-L corpus of DataComp. A ViT-B/16 CLIP trained on 400 M pairs is accompanied by two 26-shard, i.i.d. splits that serve as member and non-member sets, sharing the exact same acquisition and preprocessing pipeline. Under this strictly in-distribution setting, every published MIA baseline collapses to chance ($\approx$51\% AUC). To explain this collapse, we derive a scaling-law upper bound for similarity-based attacks showing that the expected member vs. non-member similarity gap decays as $\mathcal{O}(T/N)$ for contrastive learning with $T$ epochs over $N$ samples. Empirically, as we vary the training set size while holding all hyper-parameters fixed, the gap follows the predicted linear trend in log–log space, and Cosine Similarity Attack AUC drops from 94\% to 51\%. %, matching the analytic sigmoid mapping.
Finally, we propose a simple, white-box, gradient-based MIA that outperforms prior attacks for CLIP without relying on OOD cues. We release code, checkpoints, and data to foster comprehensive and reproducible privacy research on multimodal foundation models.

Rethinking Membership Inference Attacks for CLIP

Understanding the structural dynamics of biomolecules is vital for elucidating biological function. With the increasing availability of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation data, deep generative models have been developed to synthesize realistic MD trajectories. However, existing approaches generate fixed-length trajectories by jointly denoising high-dimensional spatiotemporal representations, which conflicts with MD’s frame-by-frame integration process and fails to capture time-dependent conformational diversity. Motivated by the sequential nature of MD, we introduce a novel probabilistic autoregressive (\textbf{ProAR}) framework for trajectory generation. ProAR employs a dual-network system that explicitly models each frame as a multivariate Gaussian distribution and uses an anti-drifting sampling strategy to mitigate cumulative errors, thereby capturing conformational uncertainty and time-coupled structural changes while flexibly generating trajectories of arbitrary length. Experiments on ATLAS, a large-scale protein MD dataset, show that for the long trajectory generation task, our model achieves a 7.5\% reduction in reconstruction RMSE and an average 25.8\% improvement in conformation change accuracy over previous state-of-the-art methods. Regarding the conformation sampling task, it attains comparable performance to specialized time-independent models, offering a flexible and reliable alternative to conventional MD simulations.
