BID-LoRA: A Parameter-Efficient Framework for Continual Learning and Unlearning
Recent advances in deep learning underscore the need for systems that can not only acquire new knowledge through Continual Learning (CL) but also remove outdated, sensitive, or private information through Machine Unlearning (MU). However, while CL methods are well-developed, MU techniques remain in early stages, creating a critical gap for unified frameworks that depend on both capabilities. We fi…

From Imitation to Discrimination: Progressive Curriculum Learning for Robust Web Navigation
Text-based web agents offer computational efficiency for autonomous web navigation, yet developing robust agents remains challenging due to the noisy and heterogeneous nature of real-world HTML. Standard Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) approaches fail in two critical dimensions: they lack discrimination capabilities to reject plausible but incorrect elements in densely populated pages, and exhibit li…

Hypergraph-State Collaborative Reasoning for Multi-Object Tracking
Motion reasoning serves as the cornerstone of multi-object tracking (MOT), as it enables consistent association of targets across frames. However, existing motion estimation approaches face two major limitations: (1) instability caused by noisy or probabilistic predictions, and (2) vulnerability under occlusion, where trajectories often fragment once visual cues disappear. To overcome these issues…

Human-Centric Topic Modeling with Goal-Prompted Contrastive Learning and Optimal Transport
Existing topic modeling methods, from LDA to recent neural and LLM-based approaches, which focus mainly on statistical coherence, often produce redundant or off-target topics that miss the user's underlying intent. We introduce Human-centric Topic Modeling, \emph{Human-TM}), a novel task formulation that integrates a human-provided goal directly into the topic modeling process to produce interpret…

Broadening the Applicability of Conditional Syntax Splitting for Reasoning from Conditional Belief Bases
In nonmonotonic reasoning from conditional belief bases, an inference operator satisfying syntax splitting postulates allows for taking only the relevant parts of a belief base into account, provided that the belief base splits into subbases based on disjoint signatures. Because such disjointness is rare in practice, safe conditional syntax splitting has been proposed as a generalization of syntax…

Do VLMs Truly "Read" Candlesticks? A Multi-Scale Benchmark for Visual Stock Price Forecasting
Vision-language models(VLMs) are increasingly applied to visual stock price forecasting, yet existing benchmarks inadequately evaluate their understanding of stock price in candlestick charts. First, prior studies fail to isolate VLMs' comprehension of visual inputs genuinely improves predictive performance and whether VLMs truly comprehend candlestick patterns. Further, most existing datasets and…

FeaXDrive: Feasibility-aware Trajectory-Centric Diffusion Planning for End-to-End Autonomous Driving
End-to-end diffusion planning has shown strong potential for autonomous driving, but the physical feasibility of generated trajectories remains insufficiently addressed. In particular, generated trajectories may exhibit local geometric irregularities, violate trajectory-level kinematic constraints, or deviate from the drivable area, indicating that the commonly used noise-centric formulation in di…

Robust Semi-Supervised Temporal Intrusion Detection for Adversarial Cloud Networks
Cloud networks increasingly rely on machine learning based Network Intrusion Detection Systems to defend against evolving cyber threats. However, real-world deployments are challenged by limited labeled data, non-stationary traffic, and adaptive adversaries. While semi-supervised learning can alleviate label scarcity, most existing approaches implicitly assume benign and stationary unlabeled traff…

Data-driven Reachable Set Estimation with Tunable Adversarial and Wasserstein Distributional Guarantees
We study finite horizon reachable set estimation for unknown discrete-time dynamical systems using only sampled state trajectories. Rather than treating scenario optimization as a black-box tool, we show how it can be tailored to reachable set estimation, where one must learn a family of sets based on whole trajectories, while preserving probabilistic guarantees on future trajectory inclusion for …

Learning Chain Of Thoughts Prompts for Predicting Entities, Relations, and even Literals on Knowledge Graphs
Knowledge graph embedding (KGE) models perform well on link prediction but struggle with unseen entities, relations, and especially literals, limiting their use in dynamic, heterogeneous graphs. In contrast, pretrained large language models (LLMs) generalize effectively through prompting. We reformulate link prediction as a prompt learning problem and introduce RALP, which learns string-based chai…

PromptEcho: Annotation-Free Reward from Vision-Language Models for Text-to-Image Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning (RL) can improve the prompt following capability of text-to-image (T2I) models, yet obtaining high-quality reward signals remains challenging: CLIP Score is too coarse-grained, while VLM-based reward models (e.g., RewardDance) require costly human-annotated preference data and additional fine-tuning. We propose PromptEcho, a reward construction method that requires \emph{no}…

Listening Deepfake Detection: A New Perspective Beyond Speaking-Centric Forgery Analysis
Existing deepfake detection research has primarily focused on scenarios where the manipulated subject is actively speaking, i.e., generating fabricated content by altering the speaker's appearance or voice. However, in realistic interaction settings, attackers often alternate between falsifying speaking and listening states to mislead their targets, thereby enhancing the realism and persuasiveness…

TimeSAF: Towards LLM-Guided Semantic Asynchronous Fusion for Time Series Forecasting
Despite the recent success of large language models (LLMs) in time-series forecasting, most existing methods still adopt a Deep Synchronous Fusion strategy, where dense interactions between textual and temporal features are enforced at every layer of the network. This design overlooks the inherent granularity mismatch between modalities and leads to what we term semantic perceptual dissonance: hig…

Adaptive Test-Time Scaling for Zero-Shot Respiratory Audio Classification
Automated respiratory audio analysis promises scalable, non-invasive disease screening, yet progress is limited by scarce labeled data and costly expert annotation. Zero-shot inference eliminates task-specific supervision, but existing methods apply uniform computation to every input regardless of difficulty. We introduce TRIAGE, a tiered zero-shot framework that adaptively scales test-time comput…
