Abstract:In radiation transfer simulations, an M1 method achieves substantial computational savings by replacing the full angular transport equation with a low-order moment system. Because this reduced system is not closed, a closure model is required to represent the unknown higher-order moments using lower-order moments. While machine learning (ML)-based closures can improve accuracy beyond classical analytic closures, unconstrained learned closures may produce non-real characteristic speeds and consequently cause numerical solver breakdown. To guarantee real eigenvalues of the Jacobian associated with ML closures, we propose a hyperbolic neural closure for the M1 radiative transfer system. Rather than directly predicting closure terms, we parameterize the Jacobian through two neural networks: (i) a symmetric matrix network and (ii) a strictly convex entropy network whose Hessian defines a positive definite symmetrizer. These components are combined to yield a Jacobian that is similar to a symmetric matrix, thereby ensuring real eigenvalues. The closure is then reconstructed by numerical integration of the learned Jacobian field along a prescribed integration path. Numerical experiments show that the proposed closure not only achieves higher closure accuracy than classical analytic closures, but also improves solution accuracy and remains stable in discontinuous Galerkin simulations for radiative transfer problems.
Abstract:Evaluating a Physical AI stack spans operators that differ by more than three orders of magnitude -- from a single foundation-model decoding step to thousands of physics ticks of whole-body control -- varying orthogonally in modality, reward semantics, and resource profile. No existing framework spans this range, so the stack is evaluated today by stitching together separate harnesses that share neither runtime nor scoring, preserving each segment's local validity but losing the shared identity needed to diagnose cross-layer regressions. We present DeepInsight, an evaluation infrastructure that serves this full spectrum on a single runtime. Rather than homogenize the regimes, it preserves their heterogeneity behind three narrow abstractions -- task, resource, and result -- each realized as one invariant shared by every subsystem: one episode driver, one resource-handle protocol implemented by every expensive backend (LLM inference and sandboxed runtimes alike), and one trace identity scheme under which every event is written. Deployed in production across all three layers of an embodied humanoid stack, this single set of invariants onboards new benchmarks largely by configuration. Where mature peer orchestrators exist -- at the foundation-model end -- it reproduces published references and peer-framework readings within their own spread, runs the same suites faster on a single node, and scales near-linearly across nodes. Its distinctive return is diagnostic: because every layer writes into one shared trace, a regression that begins in one layer and surfaces in another stays localizable on that trace -- a cross-layer payoff no federation of per-segment harnesses can reproduce.
Abstract:As Large Language Model (LLM) APIs become ubiquitous, users increasingly rely on black-box fingerprinting to verify that providers are serving the advertised premium models. However, these methods may overlook adversarial providers who manipulate model weights to cheat the fingerprint process. We introduce a novel threat termed fingerprint spoofing, where a malicious provider stealthily serves a weaker model that has been parameter-efficiently fine-tuned to mimic a stronger model, thereby evading user-side fingerprinting. We first formally prove that user-side resource constraints (i.e., finite query budgets and weak fingerprinting classifiers) make current fingerprinting vulnerable to fingerprint spoofing. Guided by this theoretical analysis, we propose GhostPrint, a cost-effective attack framework leveraging surrogate modeling, reward-ranked fine-tuning, and knowledge distillation. Extensive evaluations in both static and continual fingerprinting settings demonstrate that GhostPrint allows weak models to consistently bypass representative fingerprint methods while maintaining utility at a low fine-tuning cost, exposing a critical vulnerability in current LLM fingerprinting pipelines.
Abstract:While confidence calibration is essential for trustworthy decision-making in safety-critical applications, the robustness of calibrated GNNs to adversarial structural perturbations remains largely unexplored. However, studying calibration attacks on graphs presents unique technical challenges: (1) the discrete nature of graph structures complicates gradient-based optimization, (2) existing underconfidence objectives fail to drive predictions toward uniform distributions, and (3) GNNs are highly sensitive to edge perturbations, often causing unintended label changes that violate attack constraints. To address these challenges, we propose a \textbf{Unified Graph Calibration Attack (UGCA)} framework designed for \textbf{worst-case (white-box) analysis} of GNN calibration robustness. UGCA introduces a KL-divergence loss to encourage uniform predictive distributions, a reranking mechanism to reduce label flipping, a hybrid loss to recover labels when violations occur, and beam search to explore a broader adversarial search space. We further provide theoretical insights linking model generalization, dataset complexity, and calibration vulnerability, showing that models with higher accuracy or trained on datasets with more classes are more susceptible under this threat model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that UGCA substantially increases Expected Calibration Error while preserving classification accuracy.

Abstract:Speculative decoding accelerates autoregressive large language model inference by drafting multiple tokens and verifying them in a single target-model forward pass. Recent diffusion-based drafters generate an entire block of tokens in parallel but usually commit to a single draft sequence per verification: once the first mismatch occurs, all subsequent draft tokens are discarded, resulting in a limited acceptance rate. Naively batching more draft candidate sequences only introduces a marginal improvement, as redundant or poorly placed branches increase the cost of drafting and verification without proportionally increasing the number of accepted tokens. We propose D^2SD, a dual diffusion draft speculative decoding framework that organizes candidates into a confidence-guided prefix tree, where the first diffusion drafter generates a block along with per-position confidence scores that are used to identify the most likely rejection boundary and select the top-K prefix ranges for recovery; the second variable-prefix diffusion drafter re-anchors at each selected prefix and proposes alternative continuations in one batched pass; the resulting shared-prefix candidates are jointly verified via cascade attention. Empirically, D^2SD shows clear improvements over both the underlying diffusion approach and strong autoregressive speculative decoding baselines.
Abstract:While Contrastive Learning (CL) has revolutionized self-supervised representation learning, its latent representations remain highly entangled and opaque, limiting their interpretability in safety-critical applications. We identify that a fundamental cause of this entanglement is the reliance on deterministic similarity measures, which treat all feature dimensions equally. In compositional scenes, this creates an Optimization Conflict: common background features, such as, "blue sky", are encouraged to align in positive pairs but simultaneously repelled in negative pairs, causing gradient oscillations that hinder precise semantic disentanglement. To address this, we propose BayesNCL (Bayesian Gated Non-Negative Contrastive Learning). Unlike standard approaches, BayesNCL introduces a probabilistic gating mechanism that dynamically filters out task-irrelevant, high-frequency common features while selectively retaining discriminative semantics. By formalizing feature selection as a variational inference problem with a sparse Bernoulli prior, our method effectively resolves the optimization conflict. Empirical experimental results on Imagenet-100 demonstrate that BayesNCL achieves a remarkable 142.1% improvement in semantic consistency compared to state-of-the-art baselines, yielding highly interpretable representations without compromising downstream task performance.

Abstract:Success in generative modeling across language, image, and video demonstrates that large, well-curated datasets are the key driver for building capable models. 3D Human motion, however, has lagged behind, constrained by an unsatisfying choice between small, high-fidelity motion capture datasets and large-scale in-the-wild collections dominated by static or low-quality sequences. We introduce RoMo, a rich, large-scale, carefully curated dataset of in-the-wild human motions that resolves these tradeoffs. To ensure quality, we introduce a taxonomy-aware filtering pipeline that aggressively removes static and artifact-prone sequences. Every sequence is annotated with detailed captions and organized by a novel three-level semantic taxonomy. This hierarchical structure enables fine-grained, per-category evaluation, that reveals model strengths and weaknesses obscured by global metrics. We demonstrate that models trained on RoMo achieve state-of-the-art fidelity and diversity while gaining a superior understanding of complex, subtle text prompts. Finally, we release the Motion Toolbox to standardize metrics, data conversion, and visualization, establishing a foundation for reproducible and interpretable motion generation research.
Abstract:Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) data selection is commonly formulated as instance ranking: score each example and retain a top-$k$ subset. However, effective SFT training subsets are often produced through ordered curation recipes, where filtering, mixing, and deduplication operators jointly shape the final data distribution. We formulate this problem as fixed-pool data recipe search: given a raw instruction pool and a library of grounded operators, the goal is to discover an executable recipe that constructs a high-quality selected subset under a limited budget of full SFT evaluations, without generating, rewriting, or augmenting training samples. We introduce AutoSelection, a two-layer solver that decouples fixed-pool materialization based on cached task-, data-, and model-side signals from expensive full evaluation, using warmup probes, realized subset states, local recipe edits, Gaussian-process-assisted ranking, and stagnation-triggered reseeding. Experiments on a 90K instruction pool show that AutoSelection achieves the strongest in-distribution reasoning average across three base models, outperforming full-data training, random recipe search, random top-$k$, and single-operator selectors. Additional Out-of-distribution graph-reasoning results, search-stability analyses, structural ablations, and 1.5B-to-7B transfer checks further show that recipe structure matters beyond individual selection operators.

Abstract:Assembling objects from parts requires understanding multimodal instructions, linking them to 3D components, and predicting physically plausible 6-DoF motions for each assembly step. Existing datasets focus on simplified scenarios, overlooking shape complexities and assembly trajectories in industrial assemblies. We introduce AssemblyBench, a synthetic dataset of 2,789 industrial objects with multimodal instruction manuals, corresponding 3D part models, and part assembly trajectories. We also propose a transformer-based model, AssemblyDyno, which uses the instructional manual and the 3D shape of each part to jointly predict assembly order and part assembly trajectories. AssemblyDyno outperforms prior works in both assembly pose estimation and trajectory feasibility, where the latter is evaluated by our physics-based simulations.
Abstract:Task completion in digital and physical environments increasingly involves complex temporal interaction, where actions and observations unfold over different time scales rather than align with fixed observation--action steps. To model such interactions, we propose \emph{Engagement Process} (EP), an interaction formalism that inherits the decision-theoretic structure of POMDPs while making time explicit in the action--observation interface. EP represents actions and observations as decoupled event streams along time, rather than updates paired at fixed decision steps. This interface captures single-agent timing issues such as deliberation latency, delayed feedback, and persistent actions, while supporting richer agent-side organization, multi-rate coordination, and compositional interaction among subsystems. Across toy, LLM-agent, and learning experiments, EP exposes temporal behaviors hidden by step-based interfaces and enables policies to adapt under explicit time costs.
