Hallucinations in large vision-language models (LVLMs) remain a critical challenge, with models often generate tokens that fail to align with visual evidence. To address this issue, we propose AFS: Anchor-Final Self-Supervision, a novel framework for hallucination-aware optimization in LVLMs. By lev…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown strong performance in multi-image cross-modal retrieval, yet suffer from severe position bias, where predictions are dominated by input order rather than semantic relevance. Through empirical analysis, we identify a phenomenon termed Logit-Attentio…
This work identifies anisotropy in the singular value spectra of parameters, activations, and gradients as the fundamental barrier to low-bit training of large language models (LLMs). These spectra are dominated by a small fraction of large singular values, inducing wide numerical ranges that cause…
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures are often considered a natural fit for continual learning because sparse routing should localize updates and reduce interference, yet MoE Transformers still forget substantially even with sparse, well-balanced expert utilization. We attribute this gap to a pre-…
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures scale Large Language Models via expert specialization induced by conditional computation. In practice, however, expert specialization often fails: some experts become functionally similar, while others functioning as de facto shared experts, limiting the effect…
Robust aerial target detection for autonomous UAV-on-UAV pursuit is severely hindered by continuous scale drift, long-tailed scale imbalance, and flight-induced visual noise, rendering standard empirical risk minimization strategies poorly aligned with real-world deployment. To address these challen…
Gradient signals in LLM training are highly anisotropic: recurrent linguistic structure concentrates energy into a small set of dominant spectral directions, while context-specific information resides in a long tail. We show that this spike–tail separation persists throughout training, with the spik…
Recent approaches for vision-language models (VLMs) have shown remarkable success in achieving fast downstream adaptation. When applied to real-world downstream tasks, VLMs inevitably encounter both the in-distribution (ID) data and out-of-distribution (OOD) data. The OOD datasets often include bot…
As 3D Gaussian Splatting (3D-GS) emerges as a promising technique for 3D reconstruction and novel view synthesis, offering superior rendering quality and efficiency, it becomes crucial to ensure secure transmission and copyright protection of 3D assets in anticipation of widespread distribution. Whi…
As 4D extensions of 3D Gaussian Splatting (4D-GS) emerge as groundbreaking techniques for dynamic scene reconstruction and novel view synthesis in robotics and computer vision, ensuring the security and trustworthiness of these assets becomes crucial. While steganography has advanced significantly i
Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection remains challenging for deep learning models, particularly when test-time OOD samples differ significantly from training outliers. We propose OODD, a novel test-time OOD detection method that dynamically maintains and updates an OOD dictionary without fine-tuning.…
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) is widely adopted to deploy Large Language Models (LLMs) on edge devices with limited memory budgets. Although MoE is, in theory, an inborn memory-friendly architecture requiring only a few activated experts to reside in the memory for inference, current MoE architectures ca…
Recent vision-language pre-trained models (VL-PTMs) have shown remarkable success in open-vocabulary tasks. However, downstream use cases often involve further fine-tuning of VL-PTMs, which may distort their general knowledge and impair their ability to handle distribution shifts. In real-world scen…
Sign language is an effective non-verbal communication mode for the hearing-impaired people. Since the video-based sign language detection models have high requirements for enough lighting and clear background, current wearing glove-based sign language models are robust for poor light and occlusion…
