They built an interactive proof system that can efficiently verify complex properties of data distributions using limited resources.
Location-Invariant Properties of Functions and Properties of Distributions: Aligned in Testing but Diverge in Verification
Testing location-invariant properties of functions and testing properties of distributions are similar, but the relationship between the two concepts does not hold in the verification stage.
Uncertainty Quantification for LLM Function-Calling
As LLMs can incorrectly call functions and cause serious risks, uncertainty quantification techniques that measure the accuracy of calls are becoming important.
CLaRa: Combining Retrieval and Generation through Continuous Latent Reasoning
CLaRa solves RAG's long-context problem through embedding-based compression and joint optimization.
One Layer Is Enough: Adapting Pretrained Visual Encoders for Image Generation
The paper proposes the FAE framework, which uses only a single attention layer to transform pretrained visual representations into a low-dimensional latent space suitable for image generation.
Multilingual Semantic Retrieval for Apple Music Search
Apple Music has introduced a semantic retrieval system based on a Siamese bi-encoder to improve multilingual search quality.
Proactive Agent Research Environment: Evaluating Proactive Assistants via Active User Simulation
It proposes the Pare framework and benchmark that evaluate proactive AI agents through sophisticated simulation of user behavior.
Behavioral Privacy Leakage in Agent Negotiations: Formalizing and Mitigating Inference Attacks via Randomized Policies
To prevent attacks that infer personal information through the behavioral patterns of negotiation agents, researchers proposed a new negotiation policy applying differential privacy.
The Reality of On-Policy Distillation: When It Helps, When It Hurts, and Why
This paper proposes a diagnostic framework that analyzes, at the token level, the impact of On-Policy Distillation on training reasoning models.
Research on Incentive Methods to Improve Temporal Cognition in Egocentric Video Understanding Models
This study proposes the TGPO algorithm, which strengthens temporal reasoning to enhance MLLMs' understanding of egocentric video.
Safety Alignment in LLMs Can Be Bypassed with Just a Single Neuron
It has been revealed that LLM safety alignment is not distributed across the entire model but is concentrated in specific neurons, meaning that manipulating just a single neuron can disable safety guardrails.
FlowEval: Reference-based Evaluation of Generated User Interfaces (UI)
We propose FlowEval, a framework that measures whether LLM-generated UIs support natural interaction flows like real websites.
