SuperMemory-VQA: An Egocentric Visual Question-Answering Benchmark for Long-Horizon Memory

AI glasses present a compelling platform for AI agents to serve as personalized memory assistants. To be genuinely useful, such systems must move beyond short-term video comprehension and address memory gaps that humans experience for practical, personal, or social purposes over longitudinal egocentric video streams. However, existing egocentric datasets predominantly focus on action recognition or generic QAs from short clips, measuring perceptual capabilities rather than realistic human memory needs. We introduce SuperMemory-VQA, an egocentric visual question answering (VQA) dataset for evaluating AI assistants on practical, long-horizon memory tasks. It contains 52.9 hours of everyday activities recorded with AI glasses, including synchronized RGB video, audio transcription, eye gaze, IMU, and SLAM trajectories. Through a human-verified annotation pipeline, we construct grounded 4,853 question-answer pairs that span object and location memory, intent recall, visual scene recall, timeline reconstruction, conversational memory, and in-context retrieval. Each question is posed as multiple-choice with an explicit "unanswerable" option to test hallucination robustness. Benchmarking leading agentic frameworks and LLM backbones reveals that existing systems remain far from reliable on real-world memory tasks, highlighting the need for new architectures for grounded AI memory that can answer only when evidence is sufficient. A participant survey further supports that our questions are realistic, useful, and aligned with everyday memory needs.

SkillEvolBench: Benchmarking the Evolution from Episodic Experience to Procedural Skills

Large language model (LLM) agents accumulate rich episodic trajectories while solving real-world tasks, but it remains unclear whether such experience can be distilled into reusable procedural skills. We introduce SkillEvolBench, a diagnostic benchmark for evaluating this step from experience reuse to skill formation. It contains 180 tasks across six real-world agent environments, organized into role-conditioned task families with shared latent procedures. Agents learn from acquisition tasks, update an external skill library using compacted trajectories and verifier feedback, and then face frozen deployment tasks testing context shift, adversarial shortcuts, and composition. By comparing self-generated and curated-start skill evolution against no-skill and raw-trajectory controls, SkillEvolBench separates procedural abstraction from base capability, curated prior knowledge, and direct reuse of episodic traces. Across ten model configurations and three agent harnesses, we find that current agents often adapt locally but rarely form robust reusable skills. Skill-based conditions can improve acquisition or replay, and individual models sometimes gain on specific deployment axes, but these gains are unstable under frozen deployment. Raw-trajectory reuse frequently outperforms distilled skills, suggesting that current abstraction procedures discard contextual and procedural cues that remain useful for future tasks. Capacity and cost analyses further show that writing more skills or larger Tier-3 resource libraries is not sufficient: additional updates can improve coverage while introducing episode-specific drift and procedural clutter. These findings position SkillEvolBench as a testbed for measuring when one-off experience becomes durable procedural knowledge rather than task-local memory.

Broken Memories: Detecting and Mitigating Memorization in Diffusion Models with Degraded Generations

While diffusion models excel at generating high-quality images, their tendency to memorize training data poses significant privacy and copyright risks. In this work, we for the first time identify that memorization induces internal numerical instability, often manifesting as visually ``broken'' artifacts. Inspired by stability analysis in numerical methods, we introduce empirical stability regions based on latent update norms to quantitatively characterize stable behavior during generation. Leveraging this, we propose a principled, on-the-fly framework for step-wise detection and adaptive mitigation. Our approach suppresses memorization without altering prompts or guidance, thereby preserving semantic fidelity and image quality. Extensive experiments on Stable Diffusion 1.4 demonstrate that our method achieves an AUC $>0.999$ detection performance and a $0.0\%$ memorization rate after mitigation with negligible overhead ($\approx0.01$s per image).

From Anchors to Supervision: Memory-Graph Guided Corpus-Free Unlearning for Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) may memorize sensitive or copyrighted content, raising significant privacy and legal concerns. While machine unlearning has emerged as a potential remedy, prevailing paradigms rely on user-provided forget sets, making unlearning requests difficult to audit and exposing systems to secondary leakage and malicious abuse. We propose MAGE, a Memory-grAph Guided Erasure framework for user-minimized, corpus-free unlearning. Given only a lightweight user anchor that identifies a target entity, MAGE probes the target LLM to recover target-related memorization, organizes it into a weighted local memory graph, and synthesizes scoped supervision for unlearning. MAGE is model-agnostic, can be plugged into standard unlearning methods, and requires no access to the original training corpus. Experiments on two benchmarks, TOFU and RWKU, demonstrate that MAGE's self-generated supervision achieves effective unlearning performance comparable to supervision generated with external reference, while preserving overall utility. These results support a practical and auditable unlearning workflow driven by minimal anchors rather than user-supplied forget corpora.

SafeRoPE: Risk-specific Head-wise Embedding Rotation for Safe Generation in Rectified Flow Transformers

Recent Text-to-Image (T2I) models based on rectified-flow transformers (e.g., SD3, FLUX) achieve high generative fidelity but remain vulnerable to unsafe semantics, especially when triggered by multi-token interactions. Existing mitigation methods largely rely on fine-tuning or attention modulation for concept unlearning; however, their expensive computational overhead and design tailored to U-Net-based denoisers hinder direct adaptation to transformer-based diffusion models (e.g., MMDiT). In this paper, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the attention mechanism in MMDiT and find that unsafe semantics concentrate within interpretable, low-dimensional subspaces at head level, where a finite set of safety-critical heads is responsible for unsafe feature extraction. We further observe that perturbing the Rotary Positional Embedding (RoPE) applied to the query and key vectors can effectively modify some specific concepts in the generated images. Motivated by these insights, we propose SafeRoPE, a lightweight and fine-grained safe generation framework for MMDiT. Specifically, SafeRoPE first constructs head-wise unsafe subspaces by decomposing unsafe embeddings within safety-critical heads, and computes a Latent Risk Score (LRS) for each input vector via projection onto these subspaces. We then introduce head-wise RoPE perturbations that can suppress unsafe semantics without degrading benign content or image quality. SafeRoPE combines both head-wise LRS and RoPE perturbations to perform risk-specific head-wise rotation on query and key vector embeddings, enabling precise suppression of unsafe outputs while maintaining generation fidelity. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SafeRoPE achieves SOTA performance in balancing effective harmful content mitigation and utility preservation for safe generation of MMDiT.

Unveiling the Resilience of LLM-Enhanced Search Engines against Black-Hat SEO Manipulation

The emergence of Large Language Model-enhanced Search Engines (LLMSEs) has revolutionized information retrieval by integrating web-scale search capabilities with AI-powered summarization. While these systems demonstrate improved efficiency over traditional search engines, their security implications against well-established black-hat Search Engine Optimization (SEO) attacks remain unexplored. In this paper, we present the first systematic study of SEO attacks targeting LLMSEs. Specifically, we examine ten representative LLMSE products (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini) and construct SEO-Bench, a benchmark comprising 1,000 real-world black-hat SEO websites, to evaluate both open- and closed-source LLMSEs. Our measurements show that LLMSEs mitigate over 99.78% of traditional SEO attacks, with the phase of retrieval serving as the primary filter, intercepting the vast majority of malicious queries. We further propose and evaluate seven LLMSEO attack strategies, demonstrating that off-the-shelf LLMSEs are vulnerable to LLMSEO attacks, i.e., rewritten-query stuffing and segmented texts double the manipulation rate compared to the baseline. This work offers the first in-depth security analysis of the LLMSE ecosystem, providing practical insights for building more resilient AI-driven search systems. We have responsibly reported the identified issues to major vendors.

MMSpec: Benchmarking Speculative Decoding for Vision-Language Models

Vision-language models (VLMs) achieve strong performance on multimodal tasks but suffer from high inference latency due to large model sizes and long multimodal contexts. Speculative decoding has recently emerged as an effective acceleration technique, yet its behavior in VLMs remains insufficiently understood. We introduce MMSpec, the first benchmark for evaluating speculative decoding in vision-language models. MMSpec contains 600 multimodal samples across six task categories and integrates ten representative speculative decoding algorithms under a unified evaluation framework. Our study reveals three key findings: (1) methods designed for text-only LLMs degrade in multimodal scenarios, (2) vision awareness becomes increasingly important at larger batch sizes, and (3) throughput speedup alone does not reliably reflect latency performance. Motivated by these findings, we propose ViSkip, a plug-and-play speculative decoding method that dynamically adapts speculation to vision tokens and achieves state-of-the-art performance.

QuantVLA: Scale-Calibrated Post-Training Quantization for Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-language-action (VLA) models unify perception, language, and control for embodied agents but face significant challenges in practical deployment due to rapidly increasing compute and memory demands, especially as models scale to longer horizons and larger backbones. To address these bottlenecks, we introduce QuantVLA, a training-free post-training quantization (PTQ) framework that, to our knowledge, is the first PTQ approach for VLA systems and the first to successfully quantize a diffusion transformer (DiT) action head. QuantVLA incorporates three scale-calibrated components: (1) a selective quantization layout that integerizes all linear layers in both the language backbone and the DiT while keeping attention projections in floating point to preserve the original operator schedule; (2) attention temperature matching, a lightweight per-head scaling mechanism that stabilizes attention logits and is folded into the dequantization scales at inference; and (3) output head balancing, a per-layer residual interface calibration that mitigates post-projection energy drift. The framework requires no additional training, uses only a small unlabeled calibration buffer, and supports integer kernels for low-bit weights and activations while leaving the architecture unchanged. Across representative VLA models on LIBERO, QuantVLA exceeds the task success rates of full-precision baselines, achieves about 70% relative memory savings on the quantized components, and delivers a 1.22x speedup in end-to-end inference latency, providing a practical pathway toward scalable low-bit embodied intelligence under strict compute, memory, and power constraints.

DSDR: Dual-Scale Diversity Regularization for Exploration in LLM Reasoning

Reinforcement learning with verifiers (RLVR) is a central paradigm for improving large language model (LLM) reasoning, yet existing methods often suffer from limited exploration. Policies tend to collapse onto a few reasoning patterns and prematurely stop deep exploration, while conventional entropy regularization introduces only local stochasticity and fails to induce meaningful path-level diversity, leading to weak and unstable learning signals in group-based policy optimization. We propose DSDR, a Dual-Scale Diversity Regularization reinforcement learning framework that decomposes diversity in LLM reasoning into global and coupling components. Globally, DSDR promotes diversity among correct reasoning trajectories to explore distinct solution modes. Locally, it applies a length-invariant, token-level entropy regularization restricted to correct trajectories, preventing entropy collapse within each mode while preserving correctness. The two scales are coupled through a global-to-local allocation mechanism that emphasizes local regularization for more distinctive correct trajectories. We provide theoretical support showing that DSDR preserves optimal correctness under bounded regularization, sustains informative learning signals in group-based optimization, and yields a principled global-to-local coupling rule. Experiments on multiple reasoning benchmarks demonstrate consistent improvements in accuracy and pass@k, highlighting the importance of dual-scale diversity for deep exploration in RLVR.

MMDeepResearch-Bench: A Benchmark for Multimodal Deep Research Agents

Deep Research Agents (DRAs) generate citation-rich reports via multi-step search and synthesis, yet existing benchmarks mainly target text-only settings or short-form multimodal QA, missing end-to-end multimodal evidence use. We introduce MMDeepResearch-Bench (MMDR-Bench), a benchmark of 140 expert-crafted tasks across 21 domains, where each task provides an image-text bundle to evaluate multimodal understanding and citation-grounded report generation. Compared to prior setups, MMDR-Bench emphasizes report-style synthesis with explicit evidence use, where models must connect visual artifacts to sourced claims and maintain consistency across narrative, citations, and visual references. We further propose a unified, interpretable evaluation pipeline: Formula-LLM Adaptive Evaluation (FLAE) for report quality, Trustworthy Retrieval-Aligned Citation Evaluation (TRACE) for citation-grounded evidence alignment, and Multimodal Support-Aligned Integrity Check (MOSAIC) for text-visual integrity, each producing fine-grained signals that support error diagnosis beyond a single overall score. Experiments across 25 state-of-the-art models reveal systematic trade-offs between generation quality, citation discipline, and multimodal grounding, highlighting that strong prose alone does not guarantee faithful evidence use and that multimodal integrity remains a key bottleneck for deep research agents.
