KnowVal: A Knowledge-Augmented and Value-Guided Autonomous Driving System

CVPR 2026

Visual-language reasoning, driving knowledge, and value alignment are essential for advanced autonomous driving systems. However, existing approaches largely rely on data-driven learning, making it difficult to capture the complex logic underlying decision-making through imitation or limited reinfor

Toward Stable Value Alignment: Introducing Independent Modules for Consistent Value Guidance

ICML 2026spotlight

Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values typically relies on post-training or inference-time steering that directly manipulates the backbone’s parameters or representation space. However, a critical gap exists: the model’s residual stream is highly dynamic, in which values exist as fr…

Unveiling the Cognitive Compass: Theory-of-Mind–Guided Multimodal Emotion Reasoning

ICLR 2026poster

Despite rapid progress in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), their capability for deep emotional understanding remains limited. We argue that genuine affective intelligence requires explicit modeling of Theory of Mind (ToM), the cognitive substrate from which emotions arise. To this end, we i…

A New Federated Learning Framework Against Gradient Inversion Attacks

AAAI 2025technical

Federated Learning (FL) aims to protect data privacy by enabling clients to collectively train machine learning models without sharing their raw data. However, recent studies demonstrate that information exchanged during FL is subject to Gradient Inversion Attacks (GIA) and, consequently, a variety…
