Abstract:Autoformalization aims to translate natural-language mathematics into compilable, machine-checkable statements. However, semantic consistency does not imply prover effectiveness: even semantically consistent formalizations can differ substantially in proof-search cost and success rate. In this work, we formulate autoformalization as a budgeted, test-time search for semantically consistent repertoires, and propose FormalEvolve, a compilation-gated neuro-symbolic evolutionary framework. FormalEvolve generates diverse candidates via LLM-driven mutation and crossover with bounded patch repair, while symbolic Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) rewrite operations further inject structural diversity. On CombiBench and ProofNet, under a strict generator-call budget of T = 100, FormalEvolve reaches semantic hit rates (SH@100) of 58.0% and 84.9%, and reduces cross-problem concentration of semantic successes(lower Gini). Under a fixed prover budget, FormalEvolve also improves downstream proving performance on CombiBench. Code will be released publicly.
Abstract:Text-to-motion (T2M) generation aims to create realistic human movements from text descriptions, with promising applications in animation and robotics. Despite recent progress, current T2M models perform poorly on unseen text descriptions due to the small scale and limited diversity of existing motion datasets. To address this problem, we introduce OpenT2M, a million-level, high-quality, and open-source motion dataset containing over 2800 hours of human motion. Each sequence undergoes rigorous quality control through physical feasibility validation and multi-granularity filtering, with detailed second-wise text annotations. We also develop an automated pipeline for creating long-horizon sequences, enabling complex motion generation. Building upon OpenT2M, we introduce MonoFrill, a pretrained motion model that achieves compelling T2M results without complicated designs or technique tricks as "frills". Its core component is 2D-PRQ, a novel motion tokenizer that captures spatiotemporal dependencies by dividing the human body into biology parts. Experiments show that OpenT2M significantly improves generalization of existing T2M models, while 2D-PRQ achieves superior reconstruction and strong zero-shot performance. We expect OpenT2M and MonoFrill will advance the T2M field by addressing longstanding data quality and benchmarking challenges.
Abstract:Existing Vision-Language Navigation (VLN) task requires agents to follow verbose instructions, ignoring some potentially useful global spatial priors, limiting their capability to reason about spatial structures. Although human-readable spatial schematics (e.g., floor plans) are ubiquitous in real-world buildings, current agents lack the cognitive ability to comprehend and utilize them. To bridge this gap, we introduce \textbf{FloorPlan-VLN}, a new paradigm that leverages structured semantic floor plans as global spatial priors to enable navigation with only concise instructions. We first construct the FloorPlan-VLN dataset, which comprises over 10k episodes across 72 scenes. It pairs more than 100 semantically annotated floor plans with Matterport3D-based navigation trajectories and concise instructions that omit step-by-step guidance. Then, we propose a simple yet effective method \textbf{FP-Nav} that uses a dual-view, spatio-temporally aligned video sequence, and auxiliary reasoning tasks to align observations, floor plans, and instructions. When evaluated under this new benchmark, our method significantly outperforms adapted state-of-the-art VLN baselines, achieving more than a 60\% relative improvement in navigation success rate. Furthermore, comprehensive noise modeling and real-world deployments demonstrate the feasibility and robustness of FP-Nav to actuation drift and floor plan distortions. These results validate the effectiveness of floor plan guided navigation and highlight FloorPlan-VLN as a promising step toward more spatially intelligent navigation.
Abstract:Test-time training (TTT) has recently emerged as a promising method to improve the reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs), in which the model directly learns from test data without access to labels. However, this reliance on test data also makes TTT methods vulnerable to harmful prompt injections. In this paper, we investigate safety vulnerabilities of TTT methods, where we study a representative self-consistency-based test-time learning method: test-time reinforcement learning (TTRL), a recent TTT method that improves LLM reasoning by rewarding self-consistency using majority vote as a reward signal. We show that harmful prompt injection during TTRL amplifies the model's existing behaviors, i.e., safety amplification when the base model is relatively safe, and harmfulness amplification when it is vulnerable to the injected data. In both cases, there is a decline in reasoning ability, which we refer to as the reasoning tax. We also show that TTT methods such as TTRL can be exploited adversarially using specially designed "HarmInject" prompts to force the model to answer jailbreak and reasoning queries together, resulting in stronger harmfulness amplification. Overall, our results highlight that TTT methods that enhance LLM reasoning by promoting self-consistency can lead to amplification behaviors and reasoning degradation, highlighting the need for safer TTT methods.
Abstract:The safety and reliability of vision-language models (VLMs) are a crucial part of deploying trustworthy agentic AI systems. However, VLMs remain vulnerable to jailbreaking attacks that undermine their safety alignment to yield harmful outputs. In this work, we extend the Randomized Embedding Smoothing and Token Aggregation (RESTA) defense to VLMs and evaluate its performance against the JailBreakV-28K benchmark of multi-modal jailbreaking attacks. We find that RESTA is effective in reducing attack success rate over this diverse corpus of attacks, in particular, when employing directional embedding noise, where the injected noise is aligned with the original token embedding vectors. Our results demonstrate that RESTA can contribute to securing VLMs within agentic systems, as a lightweight, inference-time defense layer of an overall security framework.
Abstract:Real-time understanding of continuous video streams is essential for interactive assistants and multimodal agents operating in dynamic environments. However, most existing video reasoning approaches follow a batch paradigm that defers reasoning until the full video context is observed, resulting in high latency and growing computational cost that are incompatible with streaming scenarios. In this paper, we introduce ThinkStream, a framework for streaming video reasoning based on a Watch--Think--Speak paradigm that enables models to incrementally update their understanding as new video observations arrive. At each step, the model performs a short reasoning update and decides whether sufficient evidence has accumulated to produce a response. To support long-horizon streaming, we propose Reasoning-Compressed Streaming Memory (RCSM), which treats intermediate reasoning traces as compact semantic memory that replaces outdated visual tokens while preserving essential context. We further train the model using a Streaming Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards scheme that aligns incremental reasoning and response timing with the requirements of streaming interaction. Experiments on multiple streaming video benchmarks show that ThinkStream significantly outperforms existing online video models while maintaining low latency and memory usage. Code, models and data will be released at https://github.com/johncaged/ThinkStream
Abstract:This paper studies cross-market return predictability through a machine learning framework that preserves economic structure. Exploiting the non-overlapping trading hours of the U.S. and Chinese equity markets, we construct a directed bipartite graph that captures time-ordered predictive linkages between stocks across markets. Edges are selected via rolling-window hypothesis testing, and the resulting graph serves as a sparse, economically interpretable feature-selection layer for downstream machine learning models. We apply a range of regularized and ensemble methods to forecast open-to-close returns using lagged foreign-market information. Our results reveal a pronounced directional asymmetry: U.S. previous-close-to-close returns contain substantial predictive information for Chinese intraday returns, whereas the reverse effect is limited. This informational asymmetry translates into economically meaningful performance differences and highlights how structured machine learning frameworks can uncover cross-market dependencies while maintaining interpretability.
Abstract:Clinical diagnosis is a complex cognitive process, grounded in dynamic cue acquisition and continuous expertise accumulation. Yet most current artificial intelligence (AI) systems are misaligned with this reality, treating diagnosis as single-pass retrospective prediction while lacking auditable mechanisms for governed improvement. We developed DxEvolve, a self-evolving diagnostic agent that bridges these gaps through an interactive deep clinical research workflow. The framework autonomously requisitions examinations and continually externalizes clinical experience from increasing encounter exposure as diagnostic cognition primitives. On the MIMIC-CDM benchmark, DxEvolve improved diagnostic accuracy by 11.2% on average over backbone models and reached 90.4% on a reader-study subset, comparable to the clinician reference (88.8%). DxEvolve improved accuracy on an independent external cohort by 10.2% (categories covered by the source cohort) and 17.1% (uncovered categories) compared to the competitive method. By transforming experience into a governable learning asset, DxEvolve supports an accountable pathway for the continual evolution of clinical AI.
Abstract:In order to evaluate the invulnerability of networks against various types of attacks and provide guidance for potential performance enhancement as well as controllability maintenance, network controllability robustness (NCR) has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Traditionally, controllability robustness is determined by attack simulations, which are computationally time-consuming and only applicable to small-scale networks. Although some machine learning-based methods for predicting network controllability robustness have been proposed, they mainly focus on pairwise interactions in complex networks, and the underlying relationships between high-order structural information and controllability robustness have not been explored. In this paper, a dual hypergraph attention neural network model based on high-order knowledge (NCR-HoK) is proposed to accomplish robustness learning and controllability robustness curve prediction. Through a node feature encoder, hypergraph construction with high-order relations, and a dedicated dual hypergraph attention module, the proposed method can effectively learn three types of network information simultaneously: explicit structural information in the original graph, high-order connection information in local neighborhoods, and hidden features in the embedding space. Notably, we explore for the first time the impact of high-order knowledge on network controllability robustness. Compared with state-of-the-art methods for network robustness learning, the proposed method achieves superior performance on both synthetic and real-world networks with low computational overhead.
Abstract:Recent advancements in image editing have enabled highly controllable and semantically-aware alteration of visual content, posing unprecedented challenges to manipulation localization. However, existing AI-generated forgery localization methods primarily focus on inpainting-based manipulations, making them ineffective against the latest instruction-based editing paradigms. To bridge this critical gap, we propose LocateEdit-Bench, a large-scale dataset comprising $231$K edited images, designed specifically to benchmark localization methods against instruction-driven image editing. Our dataset incorporates four cutting-edge editing models and covers three common edit types. We conduct a detailed analysis of the dataset and develop two multi-metric evaluation protocols to assess existing localization methods. Our work establishes a foundation to keep pace with the evolving landscape of image editing, thereby facilitating the development of effective methods for future forgery localization. Dataset will be open-sourced upon acceptance.
