Self-Evolving Human-Centered Framework for Explainable Depression Symptom Annotation

Annotation quality is a major bottleneck in building reliable and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) systems for mental health research. In depression-related datasets, labels are often assigned without structured evidence, symptom-level justification, or traceable alignment with the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), limiting both transparency and downstream model interpretability. We propose a self-evolving, expert-in-the-loop annotation framework for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) that combines large language model (LLM)-assisted labeling with expert verification. Authors: Hoang-Loc Cao, Van Pham, Truong Thanh Hung Nguyen.

HoloGeo: Mitigating Landmark Bias in Geo-localization via Evidence-Driven Reasoning

Recent advances in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have significantly improved image geo-localization, yet existing models remain susceptible to landmark bias, causing them to overlook geographical cues or form spurious correlations, ultimately resulting in inaccurate localization. To systematically investigate this issue, we first design two quantitative metrics, Bias Intensity (BI) and Bias Harmfulness (BH), to characterize the impact of landmarks exerted on model reasoning, and establish a comprehensive benchmark, LandmarkBias-3K. To mitigate landmark bias, we further propose an evidence-driven reasoning framework, HoloGeo, to improve the reliability of geo-localization. Authors: Pengcheng Zhou, Xuanyu Liu, Yanchen Yin.

In-House LLM Serving at Netflix

By AI Platform's Model Runtime team and Inference team Introduction Most organizations consume LLMs through hosted APIs. Netflix went further — we run the full stack ourselves, from model deployment through inference, inside our existing production environment rather than a separate ML silo. Some of those decisions weren't obvious, and a few revealed their trade-offs only under production load.

Show Me Examples: Inferring Visual Concepts from Image Sets

Vision-language models (VLMs) can follow complex textual instructions, yet they struggle to reason from purely visual context. In particular, current models fail to infer shared concepts from sets of example images and apply them to new inputs. We introduce Visual Concept Inference from Sets (VICIS), a task that evaluates this capability.

Setup Complete, Now You Are Compromised: Weaponizing Setup Instructions Against AI Coding Agents

AI coding agents set up projects by reading documentation and installing the dependencies it lists, without verifying their names, sources, or known vulnerabilities. By editing only a README, requirements file, or Makefile, an attacker can redirect the agent to an untrusted registry, a known-vulnerable version, or a wrong-but-plausible name: documentation becomes a vector for code execution. We present the first systematic evaluation of package-install-time supply-chain attacks delivered through ordinary project-setup documentation across production coding-agent harnesses, probing frontier models on twelve scenarios in five attack classes, grounded in documented incidents. Authors: Aadesh Bagmar, Pushkar Saraf.

SciDiagramEdit: Learning to Edit Scientific Diagrams from Paper Revisions

Editing the figures in a research paper is a routine and time-consuming part of everyday research practice: authors relabel components, rearrange panels, and restyle visuals as they revise their manuscripts. Automating this editing workflow under a natural-language instruction, however, is challenging, because a scientific figure is a dense infographic in which heterogeneous visual elements such as schematics, plots, photos, captions, and arrows are composed under a tight visual grammar to advance a specific argument. To address this, we present SciDiagramEdit, a benchmark and skill-evolution framework that learns from natural paper revisions and operates on the figure's editable vector source, where users can inspect and co-edit individual primitives alongside the agent. Authors: Yasheng Sun, Zezi Zeng, Yifan Yang.

ARMOR++: Agentic Orchestration of a Multi-Domain Primitive Set for Transferable Attacks on Deepfake Detectors

The reliability of deepfake detectors frequently degrades under black-box adversarial transfer, as these models often rely on fragile, architecture-dependent forensic cues. Existing transfer attacks often lack semantic awareness and struggle to maintain effectiveness under strict no-query constraints, particularly when perturbations are transferred from convolutional surrogates to transformer-based targets. To address these limitations, this paper introduces ARMOR++, a robust multi-agent framework designed for high-transferability deepfake evasion. Authors: Christos Korgialas, Gabriel Lee Jun Rong, Dion Jia Xu Ho.

Beyond Success Rate: Cost-Aware Evaluation of Offensive and Defensive Security Agents

Security-agent evaluations commonly measure peak offensive capability under generous inference budgets, emphasizing vulnerability discovery, exploit development, penetration testing, and CTF completion. Such measurements are useful but incomplete: in operational security, every reasoning step, tool call, telemetry query, and enrichment request consumes budget. We evaluate language-model security agents through this cost-success lens on offensive Cybench challenges and defensive Splunk BOTS v1 investigation challenges.

DataShield: Uncovering Risky Fine-Tuning Data Across LLMs Through Consensus Subspace Alignment

Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) on domain-specific datasets has become a standard paradigm for adapting LLMs to specialized applications. However, recent work has shown that even fine-tuning on benign task-specific data can substantially weaken the safety capabilities of LLMs. While existing efforts have made progress in identifying data responsible for safety degradation, they usually rely on a single mean vector computed over a specific model with its tokenizer to represent the safety direction, which limits both the effectiveness and transferability of their risk assessment measures. Authors: Zefeng Wu, Weiwei Qi, Jielong Chen.

Automated Template-free Synthesis of Instruction-Centric Leakage Contracts for Black-Box CPUs

Side-channel attacks pose a significant security threat for modern computing platforms, because they exploit subtle discrepancies in CPU behaviors to leak sensitive information. To model the information leaked by a CPU via microarchitectural side-channels, recent work proposed leakage contracts: an ISA-level security abstraction that provides the foundations for secure CPU programming. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of current microarchitectures, devising a leakage contract for a CPU requires extensive manual effort and thus modern CPUs lack dedicated leakage contracts. Authors: Elvira Moreno, Tiziano Marinaro, Ryan Williams.

Assessing Physical Frailty and Fall-Risk Indicators with Social Robots: An in situ Evaluation with Older Adults

Frailty assessments are crucial to evaluate the risk of adverse events and the health and social care needs of older adults, yet their administration remains resource-intensive and typically relies on coarse clinical outcomes, such as task completion times, which may overlook biomechanical indicators of functional decline. To address this, we present a robotic framework that guides older adults through standardised frailty and fall-risk tests while capturing clinical scores and additional frailty-related metrics, offering a deeper insight into a user's condition. The system uses a Behaviour Tree architecture that coordinates perception, decision-making, interaction, and measurement modules. Authors: Aniol Civit, Antonio Andriella, Alba Martínez.

RTS Smoother-Guided Learning of Physics-Based Neural Differential Models

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are widely used to model dynamical systems in physics, biology, neuroscience, and physiology, but in many applications some equations of the dynamics are unknown and only a subset of the state variables are measured. We propose a hybrid neural--physics framework in which the known components of the ODE are kept explicit and the missing components are represented by a neural network. The proposed method consists of two stages where we alternate between state and parameter estimation and iterate until a predetermined criterion is met. Authors: Ahmet Demirkaya, Georgios Stratis, Tales Imbiriba.

Embedded Arena Uses Hardware Feedback to Perfect Edge AI Models

AI has become quite good at writing code, answering questions, and solving complex problems. But when it comes to deploying AI algorithms onto tiny microcontrollers, even the most advanced models have been hitting a wall. This is because it is not just about writing code — strict real-world constraints involving memory, power consumption, temperature, and hardware compatibility have to be met as well.

Campaign Diagrams: Visualizing the March Through the Phases of a Workload

We present campaign diagrams, a visualization technique for phase-level analysis of resource utilization and bottlenecks in modern workloads. Existing tools have a trade-off: rooflines aggregate a workload into a single point and lose all notion of time, while profilers and traces expose fine-grained events but obscure what bounds performance. Instead, a campaign diagram depicts compute throughput and memory bandwidth utilization, compute and memory traffic volume, and latency in a single figure. Authors: Toluwanimi O. Odemuyiwa, John D.

Don't Predict, Prioritize: Rethinking GPU Reliability Assessment

The reliability of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) is a criticalbottleneck for modern large-scale AI infrastructure, where a sin-gle node failure can disrupt synchronous training jobs and causesignificant financial losses. Through an in-depth analysis of telemetry data from a productioncluster, we find that major GPU failures, including Double Bit Er-rors (DBEs) and GPU Lost events, exhibit strong stochasticity andlow signal-to-noise ratios in time-series telemetry, which makesconventional time-based prediction ineffective. This insight motivates a paradigm shift: instead of attempting topredict the absolute timing of a failure, we propose a more robustapproach focused on ranking nodes by their relative failure risk.
