Knowledge Beyond Language: Bridging the Gap in Multilingual Machine Unlearning Evaluation

While LLMs are increasingly used in commercial services, they pose privacy risks such as leakage of sensitive personally identifiable information (PII). For LLMs trained on multilingual corpora, Multilingual Machine Unlearning (MMU) aims to remove information across multiple languages. However, prior MMU evaluations fail to capture such cross-linguistic distribution of information, being largely limited to direct extensions of per-language evaluation protocols. To this end, we propose two metrics to evaluate the information spread across languages: the Knowledge Separability Score (KSS) and the Knowledge Persistence Score (KPS). KSS measures the overall unlearning quality across multiple languages, while KPS more specifically aims to assess consistent removal of information among different language pairs. We evaluated various unlearning methods in the multilingual setting with these metrics and conducted comprehensive analyses. Through our investigation, we provide insights into unique phenomena exclusive to MMU and offer a new perspective on MMU evaluation.

Toward Structural Multimodal Representations: Specialization, Selection, and Sparsification via Mixture-of-Experts

We propose S3 (Specialization, Selection, Sparsification), a framework that rethinks multimodal learning through a structural perspective. Instead of encoding all signals into a fixed embedding, S3 decomposes multimodal inputs into semantic experts and selectively routes them for each task. Specialization forms concept-level experts in a shared latent space, Selection adapts routing for task-specific needs, and Sparsification prunes low-utility paths to yield compact, information-minimal representations. Across four MultiBench benchmarks, S3 improves accuracy and shows a consistent reverse U-shaped sparsity-performance trend, with peak performance at intermediate sparsity. These results suggest that structuring multimodal representations as selectable semantic components provides a practical and principled alternative to contrastive learning or InfoMax-driven approaches.

ReSpinQuant: Efficient Layer-Wise LLM Quantization via Subspace Residual Rotation Approximation

Rotation-based Post-Training Quantization (PTQ) has emerged as a promising solution for mitigating activation outliers in the quantization of Large Language Models (LLMs). Global rotation methods achieve inference efficiency by fusing activation rotations into attention and FFN blocks, but suffer from limited expressivity as they are constrained to use a single learnable rotation matrix across all layers. To tackle this, layer-wise transformation methods emerged, achieving superior accuracy through localized adaptation. However, layer-wise methods cannot fuse activation rotation matrices into weights, requiring online computations and causing significant overhead. In this paper, we propose ReSpinQuant, a quantization framework that resolves such overhead by leveraging offline activation rotation fusion and matching basis using efficient residual subspace rotation. This design reconciles the high expressivity of layer-wise adaptation with only negligible inference overhead. Extensive experiments on W4A4 and W3A3 quantization demonstrate that ReSpinQuant achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming global rotation methods and matching the accuracy of computationally expensive layer-wise methods with minimal overhead.

VDPP: Video Depth Post-Processing for Speed and Scalability

Video depth estimation is essential for providing 3D scene structure in applications ranging from autonomous driving to mixed reality. Current end-to-end video depth models have established state-of-the-art performance. Although current end-to-end (E2E) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance, they function as tightly coupled systems that suffer from a significant adaptation lag whenever superior single-image depth estimators are released. To mitigate this issue, post-processing methods such as NVDS offer a modular plug-and-play alternative to incorporate any evolving image depth model without retraining. However, existing post-processing methods still struggle to match the efficiency and practicality of E2E systems due to limited speed, accuracy, and RGB reliance. In this work, we revitalize the role of post-processing by proposing VDPP (Video Depth Post-Processing), a framework that improves the speed and accuracy of post-processing methods for video depth estimation. By shifting the paradigm from computationally expensive scene reconstruction to targeted geometric refinement, VDPP operates purely on geometric refinements in low-resolution space. This design achieves exceptional speed (>43.5 FPS on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano) while matching the temporal coherence of E2E systems, with dense residual learning driving geometric representations rather than full reconstructions. Furthermore, our VDPP's RGB-free architecture ensures true scalability, enabling immediate integration with any evolving image depth model. Our results demonstrate that VDPP provides a superior balance of speed, accuracy, and memory efficiency, making it the most practical solution for real-time edge deployment.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation Based Nurse Observation Extraction

Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have played a significant role in reducing human workload across various domains, a trend that is increasingly extending into the medical field. In this paper, we propose an automated pipeline designed to alleviate the burden on nurses by automatically extracting clinical observations from nurse dictations. To ensure accurate extraction, we introduce a method based on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Our approach demonstrates effective performance, achieving an F1-score of 0.796 on the MEDIQA-SYNUR test dataset.

4DGS360: 360° Gaussian Reconstruction of Dynamic Objects from a Single Video

We introduce 4DGS360, a diffusion-free framework for 360$^{\circ}$ dynamic object reconstruction from casual monocular video. Existing methods often fail to reconstruct consistent 360$^{\circ}$ geometry, as their heavy reliance on 2D-native priors causes initial points to overfit to visible surface in each training view. 4DGS360 addresses this challenge through a advanced 3D-native initialization that mitigates the geometric ambiguity of occluded regions. Our proposed 3D tracker, AnchorTAP3D, produces reinforced 3D point trajectories by leveraging confident 2D track points as anchors, suppressing drift and providing reliable initialization that preserves geometry in occluded regions. This initialization, combined with optimization, yields coherent 360$^{\circ}$ 4D reconstructions. We further present iPhone360, a new benchmark where test cameras are placed up to 135$^{\circ}$ apart from training views, enabling 360$^{\circ}$ evaluation that existing datasets cannot provide. Experiments show that 4DGS360 achieves state-of-the-art performance on the iPhone360, iPhone, and DAVIS datasets, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

PedaCo-Gen: Scaffolding Pedagogical Agency in Human-AI Collaborative Video Authoring

While advancements in Text-to-Video (T2V) generative AI offer a promising path toward democratizing content creation, current models are often optimized for visual fidelity rather than instructional efficacy. This study introduces PedaCo-Gen, a pedagogically-informed human-AI collaborative video generating system for authoring instructional videos based on Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML). Moving away from traditional "one-shot" generation, PedaCo-Gen introduces an Intermediate Representation (IR) phase, enabling educators to interactively review and refine video blueprints-comprising scripts and visual descriptions-with an AI reviewer. Our study with 23 education experts demonstrates that PedaCo-Gen significantly enhances video quality across various topics and CTML principles compared to baselines. Participants perceived the AI-driven guidance not merely as a set of instructions but as a metacognitive scaffold that augmented their instructional design expertise, reporting high production efficiency (M=4.26) and guide validity (M=4.04). These findings highlight the importance of reclaiming pedagogical agency through principled co-creation, providing a foundation for future AI authoring tools that harmonize generative power with human professional expertise.

Targeted Data Protection for Diffusion Model by Matching Training Trajectory

Recent advancements in diffusion models have made fine-tuning text-to-image models for personalization increasingly accessible, but have also raised significant concerns regarding unauthorized data usage and privacy infringement. Current protection methods are limited to passively degrading image quality, failing to achieve stable control. While Targeted Data Protection (TDP) offers a promising paradigm for active redirection toward user-specified target concepts, existing TDP attempts suffer from poor controllability due to snapshot-matching approaches that fail to account for complete learning dynamics. We introduce TAFAP (Trajectory Alignment via Fine-tuning with Adversarial Perturbations), the first method to successfully achieve effective TDP by controlling the entire training trajectory. Unlike snapshot-based methods whose protective influence is easily diluted as training progresses, TAFAP employs trajectory-matching inspired by dataset distillation to enforce persistent, verifiable transformations throughout fine-tuning. We validate our method through extensive experiments, demonstrating the first successful targeted transformation in diffusion models with simultaneous control over both identity and visual patterns. TAFAP significantly outperforms existing TDP attempts, achieving robust redirection toward target concepts while maintaining high image quality. This work enables verifiable safeguards and provides a new framework for controlling and tracing alterations in diffusion model outputs.

Multi-dimensional Preference Alignment by Conditioning Reward Itself

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback has emerged as a standard for aligning diffusion models. However, we identify a fundamental limitation in the standard DPO formulation because it relies on the Bradley-Terry model to aggregate diverse evaluation axes like aesthetic quality and semantic alignment into a single scalar reward. This aggregation creates a reward conflict where the model is forced to unlearn desirable features of a specific dimension if they appear in a globally non-preferred sample. To address this issue, we propose Multi Reward Conditional DPO (MCDPO). This method resolves reward conflicts by introducing a disentangled Bradley-Terry objective. MCDPO explicitly injects a preference outcome vector as a condition during training, which allows the model to learn the correct optimization direction for each reward axis independently within a single network. We further introduce dimensional reward dropout to ensure balanced optimization across dimensions. Extensive experiments on Stable Diffusion 1.5 and SDXL demonstrate that MCDPO achieves superior performance on benchmarks. Notably, our conditional framework enables dynamic and multiple-axis control at inference time using Classifier Free Guidance to amplify specific reward dimensions without additional training or external reward models.

LoGoColor: Local-Global 3D Colorization for 360° Scenes

Single-channel 3D reconstruction is widely used in fields such as robotics and medical imaging. While this line of work excels at reconstructing 3D geometry, the outputs are not colored 3D models, thus 3D colorization is required for visualization. Recent 3D colorization studies address this problem by distilling 2D image colorization models. However, these approaches suffer from an inherent inconsistency of 2D image models. This results in colors being averaged during training, leading to monotonous and oversimplified results, particularly in complex 360° scenes. In contrast, we aim to preserve color diversity by generating a new set of consistently colorized training views, thereby bypassing the averaging process. Nevertheless, eliminating the averaging process introduces a new challenge: ensuring strict multi-view consistency across these colorized views. To achieve this, we propose LoGoColor, a pipeline designed to preserve color diversity by eliminating this guidance-averaging process with a `Local-Global' approach: we partition the scene into subscenes and explicitly tackle both inter-subscene and intra-subscene consistency using a fine-tuned multi-view diffusion model. We demonstrate that our method achieves quantitatively and qualitatively more consistent and plausible 3D colorization on complex 360° scenes than existing methods, and validate its superior color diversity using a novel Color Diversity Index.
