Zero-Shot Skeleton-Based Action Anticipation

Action anticipation (AA) aims to recognize ongoing human or humanoids actions from partial observations, enabling robots to predict intentions before the actions are completed. Although skeleton-based AA offers efficiency advantages, existing approaches assume that all action classes are seen during training, which limits their deployment in real-world scenarios where novel actions inevitably arise. To address this gap, we study the new task of Zero-Shot Skeleton-Based Action Anticipation (ZS-SkAA). This task requires recognizing unseen action classes using only limited early-stage skeleton sequences, combining the challenges of partial observations, temporal dynamics, and zero-shot generalization. To establish foundational research for ZS-SkAA, we introduce:(1) A baseline model comprising a spatio-temporal feature extractor and a mutual information estimation and maximization module. This baseline model explicitly aligns partial visual features with semantic class embeddings across modalities by estimating and maximizing their mutual information, enhancing generalization to unseen classes.(2) A benchmark protocol using the NTU RGB+D dataset, which is adapted for rigorous ZS-SkAA evaluation. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our model as a strong baseline for ZS-SkAA, achieving high zero-shot accuracy on NTU RGB+D. This work establishes ZS-SkAA as a vital research direction for real-world systems requiring generalization to novel actions.

GenPrior: Unleashing Text-to-Motion Generative Priors for Zero-Shot Skeleton-based Action Recognition

Zero-shot skeleton-based action recognition (ZSAR) aims to recognize unseen action categories by aligning skeleton features with textual semantics. However, existing methods rely on text-derived prototypes that inherently lack geometric structure and physical constraints, resulting in a pronounced \textit{semantic-kinematic gap}. To bridge this gap, we propose \textbf{GenPrior}, the first framework to exploit generative priors from pre-trained Text-to-Motion (T2M) models for ZSAR. Specifically, we introduce Dispersion-Gated Feature Fusion, which distills kinematic prototypes and intra-class dispersion from generative motion sequences and employs a learned gating network to adaptively inject reliable structural cues into textual embeddings while suppressing synthetic artifacts. Furthermore, we propose Generative Prototype Refinement, which leverages these generation-enhanced prototypes as anchors to mine high-confidence unseen samples, calibrating class prototypes toward the true distribution and thereby unleashing strong performance gains. Extensive experiments on NTU-60, NTU-120, and PKU-MMD demonstrate that GenPrior achieves state-of-the-art performance under both zero-shot and generalized zero-shot settings.

TransMem: Transforming Hidden States into Memory for Large Language Models

Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly operate over long interaction histories, where effective reasoning requires identifying and exploiting task-relevant evidence distributed across past observations and actions. However, useful information encoded in previously computed representations is often underutilized during subsequent generation. We propose \textbf{TransMem}, a lightweight inference-time parametric memory module that transforms sparse historical hidden states from a frozen LLM backbone into reusable memory representations. TransMem uses a lightweight gating network to dynamically apply the latent intervention to the current hidden states, without repeatedly encoding the preceding context. To learn transferable memory utilization rather than task-specific knowledge, we introduce evidence-conditioned self-distillation. A memory-augmented student processes the full context and matches the predictive distribution of an evidence-only teacher that shares the same frozen backbone. Experiments on LoCoMo, HotpotQA, and MemoryAgentBench demonstrate consistent improvements across different model architectures and scales. TransMem yields gains of 11.58--29.25 $F_1$ on LoCoMo and 10.20--13.03 $F_1$ on HotpotQA, while improving the average MemoryAgentBench accuracy from 29.54\% to 40.00\%. These results establish sparse historical hidden states as an effective and efficient memory substrate for long-context LLM agents.

RAID: Towards Robust AI-Generated Image Detection with Bit-Reversed Images

The rapid advancement of image generation models has made it increasingly difficult for people to distinguish AI-generated images from real ones. To prevent the potential risks associated with the misuse of fake images, AI-generated image detection has gained significant attention. Existing methods neglect the inherent differences between real and fake images, thus lacking robustness and generalization ability. In this work, we innovatively investigate AI-generated image detection using bit-planes, and introduce the bit-reversed image. We propose a simple yet effective pipeline consisting of construction of bit-reversed images, gradient-based patch selection and a convolutional classifier. Besides, we provide a theoretical analysis from the mathematical perspective to demonstrate the validity of our approach. We also introduce two challenging datasets for AI-generated image detection. Extensive experiments verify the effectiveness of our approach across different settings, including cross-generator generalization, cross-dataset generalization and zero-shot performance. Without bells and whistles, our approach outperforms existing methods on over 40 benchmarks, and is nearly 100 times faster than counterparts. The code is at https://github.com/renxi-seu/RAID.

Retrieval-Driven Training-Free AI-Generated Video Attribution

AI-generated videos are becoming increasingly realistic and difficult to distinguish from authentic ones, which facilitates malicious misuse and poses growing threats to cybersecurity and social governance. Attributing AI-generated videos to their specific generative sources is therefore of critical importance for forensic investigation and legal regulation. However, most existing visual attribution methods focus on images and particularly rely on the image generation model, thereby lacking the ability to generalize to large-scale AI-generated video data. To address these limitations, we introduce an training-free AI-generated video attribution paradigm. Specifically, we formulates AI-generated video attribution as an instance retrieval task, and design a generative fingerprint-based pipeline. This pipeline consists of an adapted orthogonal color transformation, multi-scale quantized residual generation, and temporal-semantic aggregation, progressively capturing and integrating artifacts introduced by generative models across video frames. Extensive experiments on the GenVidBench benchmark demonstrate that our method achieves strong performance in both AI-generated video detection and attribution, outperforming existing state-of-the-art methods with a Rank-1 accuracy of 20.5% and a mean Average Precision of 16.6%.

PrismAD: Decoupled Planning via Semantic Mixture-of-Planners for End-to-End Autonomous Driving

This letter presents PrismAD, a decoupled end-to-end autonomous driving framework based on a Semantic Mixture-of-Planners. Existing planners usually aggregate heterogeneous scene tokens into a coupled representation space, forcing a single planning branch to jointly model agent interaction, road geometry, and driving intention. Such coupling may weaken factor-specific reasoning and obscure the contribution of different planning cues. To address this limitation, PrismAD partitions scene tokens into interaction, geometry, and intent groups, and assigns them to independent planning experts with the same architecture but separate parameters. Each expert learns a specialized motion-planning representation, while a semantics-aware router adaptively aggregates expert predictions with separate routing weights for motion prediction and ego planning. Sparse top-$K$ activation with noisy gating is further introduced to improve routing robustness and reduce unnecessary expert computation. Extensive experiments on the nuScenes open-loop dataset and NeuroNCAP closed-loop benchmark demonstrate that PrismAD exhibits competitive performance. Our code will be released soon.

Virtual Category-Guided Continual Generalized Category Discovery

Continual Generalized Category Discovery (C-GCD) aims to incrementally identify novel categories from sequential unlabeled data while preserving recognition of known classes, which is an essential capability for open-world visual learning. A major bottleneck lies in ambiguous unlabeled samples that cannot be confidently assigned to known classes nor reliably grouped as novel ones, making pseudo-labeling brittle and often biasing learning toward familiar categories. In this work, we introduce Virtual Category-Guided Continual Generalized Category Discovery by adapting Virtual Category Learning (VCL) to the continual setting. Our method identifies uncertain samples and assigns them to temporary virtual categories, enabling safe and informative learning from unlabeled streams without injecting noisy labels, while improving unlabeled data utilization and mitigating prediction bias. To further stabilize discovery across sessions and enhance class separation, we augment VCL with Expanded Neighborhood Contrastive Learning (ENCL), which exploits extended neighborhood relations and an adaptive margin to learn more discriminative and well-separated representations for both old and emerging classes. Extensive experiments on CIFAR-100, Tiny ImageNet, and ImageNet-100 demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods, establishing a scalable and effective solution for C-GCD.

Global Logic and Local Search: Dual-Stream Multimodal In-Context Learning for Verifiable Industrial Anomaly Detection

Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) show strong few-shot generalization, but industrial anomaly detection remains difficult because defects are small, input resolution is limited, and textual standards are not always grounded in visual evidence. Recent optimization-based methods improve alignment through fine-tuning, but they often require many defective samples, which are unavailable in early deployment. We present Global Logic and Local Search (GLLS), a training-free framework for reference-guided multimodal in-context verification. GLLS uses a Part-Aware Visual-Logical Atlas to organize normal references and structured specifications in the inference context. It combines a Global & Logic Stream, where SAM 3 extracts partially checkable visual facts, with a Fine-Grained & Actions Stream, where MCTS selects local evidence crops under a fixed budget. Experiments on MMAD-QA and additional anomaly detection datasets show consistent gains over matched and general-purpose baselines, while keeping the final diagnostic decision traceable to explicit visual evidence throughout the inspection trace.

AnchorVLA: Bridging Discrete Decisions and Continuous Trajectories for Vision-Language-Action Planning

Autonomous driving planning requires translating navigation intent, traffic rules, dynamic interactions, and language instructions into executable continuous trajectories. Vision-Language-Action models have been introduced into driving planning to improve long-tail generalization, commonsense reasoning, high-level semantic understanding, and explainability. However, existing VLA planners mainly follow planning-head-based trajectory prediction or full-trajectory autoregressive generation. The former only weakly constrains continuous trajectory generation with VLA reasoning, while the latter relies on long sequences of low-information-density coordinate tokens, making semantic-action alignment difficult and leading to discretization errors and inefficient inference. To address these limitations, we propose AnchorVLA, a hierarchical decision-anchored VLA planning framework that uses trajectory-pattern anchors as an explicit interface between high-level VLA reasoning and continuous trajectory execution. Specifically, Decision-as-Anchor Representation represents behavior-level driving decisions with anchor tokens, each encoding an entire local motion pattern rather than a single coordinate point. Decision-Anchored Residual Flow then generates fine-grained continuous trajectories in the selected anchor-defined residual space, capturing multi-modal execution refinements after high-level decision making. By reasoning over compact and semantically meaningful anchors instead of autoregressively generating waypoint sequences, AnchorVLA preserves LLM-based decision making while improving inference efficiency, semantic-action alignment, and continuous generation flexibility. Experiments on the Bench2Drive closed-loop benchmark show that AnchorVLA achieves a state-of-the-art Success Rate of 77.28 and a competitive Driving Score of 89.92.

Revealing Artifacts via Noise Amplification: A Novel Perspective for AI-Generated Video Detection

With the rapid advancement of video generation models, distinguishing between AI-generated and authentic videos has emerged as a challenging endeavor. The majority of existing research endeavors concentrate on the development of detectors for identifying samples generated by generative adversarial networks. Nevertheless, the detection of AI-generated videos, particularly those produced by text-to-video models, still remains an uncharted territory. Although state-of-the-art text-to-video models can generate realistic visual content similar to real videos, they fall short of generating the details of the images and the changes in details within the videos. Inspired by this, we address AI-generated video detection from a novel perspective of bit-planes, which can effectively describe the details or noises in images or videos. To this end, we propose a simple yet effective approach called Noise Amplification. This approach first extracts noise signals based on bit-planes, then amplifies these noise signals, and finally feeds them into the discriminator networks for video fake classification. Noise amplification is comprehensively constructed by incorporating three aspects: pixel-level intensity enhancement, region-level spatial amplification, and frame-level temporal aggregation. To evaluate methods of AI-generated video detection in challenging scenarios, we also introduce a benchmark named HardGVD. Extensive experiments on both the large-scale dataset GenVidBench and HardGVD show that our simple approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
