arXiv:2605.27970v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While large language models (LLMs) are trained purely on textual data, prior work has shown that their internal representations can exhibit rich geometric structure in embedding space. Building on this line of work, we investigate whether such structure is similar to human perceptual organisation across different domains (e.g., color, pitch, emotion, and taste). Specifically, we study the layer-wise emergence of intrinsic geometrical structure corresponding to perceptual modalities within the residual streams of multiple open-weight transformer architectures. Our results reveal three key findings. First, we observe the emergence of layer-wise geometric structure across multiple perceptual domains, despite the absence of any direct perceptual supervision during training. Second, these perceptual domains exhibit distinct emergence profiles, with both geometric structure and its alignment with human baselines following domain- and model-spec

arXiv:2605.28360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automatic prompt optimization (APO) has driven significant gains in LLM-based agentic workflows. However, existing methods treat each task's prompt as a monolithic, instance-blind string optimized through global edits, producing brittle updates and preventing the reuse of learned sub-behaviors. We propose Prompt Codebooks (PCO), a novel compositional prompt optimization framework that recasts APO as discrete learning over a finite vocabulary of natural-language instincts - atomic, reusable instruction units. PCO organizes prompt-construction knowledge in a discrete codebook and routes each input to a small subset of entries via an LLM-based encoder; a generator composes them into a prompt for the frozen target model; a critic emits a structured verdict that decomposes by attribution into per-variable textual gradients, jointly training the encoder, generator, and codebook under a language-valued min-max objective. The resulting routing is

arXiv:2503.04863v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Compared with voxel-based grid prediction, in the field of 3D semantic occupation prediction for autonomous driving, GaussianFormer proposed using 3D Gaussian to describe scenes with sparse 3D semantic Gaussian based on objects is another scheme with lower memory requirements. Each 3D Gaussian function represents a flexible region of interest and its semantic features, which are iteratively refined by the attention mechanism. In the experiment, it is found that the Gaussian function required by this method is larger than the query resolution of the original dense grid network, resulting in impaired performance. Therefore, we consider optimizing GaussianFormer by using unused temporal information. We learn the Spatial-Temporal Self-attention Mechanism from the previous grid-given occupation network and improve it to GaussianFormer. The experiment was conducted with the NuScenes dataset, and the experiment is currently underway.

arXiv:2605.28300v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional network analysis focuses on single-layer networks, real-world systems often form multilayer networks with multiple relationship types. However, existing methods typically fail to capture complex inter-layer dependencies by treating layers independently or aggregating them. To address this, we propose T-GINEE (Tensor-Based Generalized Multilayer-graph Estimating Equation), a statistical regularization framework combining tensor-based generalized estimating equations with task-specific loss to model cross-network correlations explicitly. Key innovations include: (1) CP tensor decomposition capturing structural dependencies via shared latent factors; (2) a generalized estimating equation framework modeling inter-layer correlations through working covariance matrices; and (3) a flexible link function accommodating characteristics like sparsity. Our theoretical analysis establishes consistency and asymptotic normality under mild co

arXiv:2605.27432v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has emerged as a paradigm for grounding large language models in external knowledge, yet most existing RAG systems assume centralized knowledge access and ample computation. These assumptions break down in edge environments, where knowledge is fragmented across devices, raw data cannot be shared, and repeated LLM calls are prohibitively expensive. We propose FD-RAG, a federated dual-system RAG framework that decouples lightweight memory access from on-demand LLM reasoning for decentralized deployment. Specifically, FD-RAG learns semantic-aware adaptive hypergraphs over local corpora and distills them into compact QA memories. At inference time, it answers well-covered queries via direct memory matching and invokes LLM-based reasoning only when necessary, while tracing retrieved memories to hypergraph-grounded evidence. To mitigate cross-device knowledge fragmentation, FD-RAG aggregates anonymized mem

arXiv:2605.28347v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-Label Recognition (MLR) based on Vision-Language Models (VLMs) aims to leverage their pre-trained knowledge to better adapt complex recognition scenarios, thereby enhancing model robustness. However, for realistic decentralized applications requiring federated learning, adapting VLMs to each client that possesses private and heterogeneous data can cause the model to overfit spurious label correlations, consequently triggering irrelevant categories when encountering new samples. To tackle this problem, we reconsider the federated learning for MLR with a causal model, in which we adopt a front-door adjustment and decouple the MLR modeling process by intermediate variables that magnify the oracle label co-occurrence. Guided by our analysis, we propose our FedMPT, the first method specifically designed for federated MLR. The core idea of FedMPT is to leverage generalizable conditions to steer federated MLR to mitigate erroneous label ac

arXiv:2605.28122v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A coding agent executes a benign task as a sequence of shell, file, and network actions, any of which can quietly exceed the authorized scope while the task still completes. We call this overeager behavior: the prompt is not adversarial and the run succeeds, yet an out-of-scope step can leak credentials or delete files. Existing benchmarks miss it: task-completion suites credit any finished run, jailbreak suites probe adversarial prompts, and the one prior overeager benchmark applies a single fixed prompt set to every agent-model pair, leaving its easiest and most resistant pairs under-measured. We present SNARE (Synthesizing Non-adversarial scenarios for Adaptive Reward-guided Elicitation), a pipeline that composes benign scenarios from reusable scope and trap fragments, scores each run with a judge-free oracle flagging trap-pattern matches and unsolicited file additions or deletions, and uses Thompson sampling to steer each pair's run

arXiv:2605.27590v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Remote sensing question answering (RS-QA) often requires more than direct semantic prediction, especially in large-scale forest scenes where ecological analysis involves multi-step filtering, numerical aggregation, neighborhood reasoning, and verifiable evidence. We introduce ForestHG-Trace, a framework for traceable long-horizon ecological reasoning over forest environments. It represents multimodal NEON forest scenes as ecological hypergraphs, where tree instances, spatial units, semantic groups, and neighborhood relations support higher-order reasoning beyond pairwise scene graphs. An LLM-guided agent then invokes deterministic tools for reading, filtering, expansion, aggregation, comparison, and auditing, producing replayable execution traces and compact evidence records rather than only free-form answers. We further construct ForestTraceQA, an executable benchmark for evaluating ecological QA across diverse task types and reasoni

arXiv:2605.27800v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: CASTLE 2026 asks 185 multiple-choice questions over 600+ hours of synchronized multi-view egocentric video. We explore two approaches on top of a shared multimodal preprocessing layer, including per-person timelines, speaker-resolved transcripts, and multi-VLM caption ensembles. Approach A, SVA: Search-Verify-Answer, is a three-stage pipeline that hierarchically narrows to a primary window, verifies sub-windows with a VLM under four anti-confabulation rules, and fuses evidence with an LLM judge under an evidence-priority hierarchy. Approach B, TMKG: Temporal-Multimodal-Knowledge-Graph, is the contrast: it builds a temporal multimodal knowledge graph, locates a primary cell via graph search, and produces the final answer with a single grounded VLM. SVA reaches a leaderboard accuracy of 0.50 and is our final challenge submission; TMKG reaches 0.35.

arXiv:2605.02263v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent diffusion large language models (dLLMs) have demonstrated both effectiveness and efficiency in reasoning via a block-based semi-autoregressive generation paradigm. Despite their progress, the fixed-size block generations remain a critical bottleneck for effective and coherent reasoning. 1. From a global perspective, different reasoning tasks would correspond to different optimal decoding block sizes, which makes a ``one-size-fits-all'' assumption ineffective. 2. Even within a single reasoning task, the rigid block partitioning would break the logical flow and reduce reasoning coherence. Through empirical observations, we reveal that for block-wise entropy, incorrect reasoning exhibits a fluctuating and unsteady trend between blocks, whereas the correctly generated tasks follow a consistent descending trend. Therefore, this paper proposes b1, a novel post-training framework for dLLMs that learns dynamic-size reasoning blocks via

arXiv:2605.28678v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Speculative reasoning has recently been proposed as a means to accelerate reasoning-intensive generation in large multimodal models, but its effectiveness is often constrained by misalignment between speculative drafts and target-verified reasoning. In this work, we introduce DREAM-R, a framework that substantially improves the performance of speculative reasoning. At its core, DREAM-R employs Speculative Alignment Policy Optimization (SAPO), a reinforcement-learning objective that trains draft models to generate reasoning steps that are both faithful to target trajectories and concise. We further propose a Threshold-based Verification Mechanism (TBVM) that uses a ratio-based criterion to provide stable and interpretable acceptance of speculative steps only when positive evidence clearly dominates, thereby preventing error propagation. Building on these components, we develop a Fully Parallel Speculative Reasoning (FPSR) framework that pa

arXiv:2605.12015v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reusable skills are becoming a common interface for extending large language model agents, packaging procedural guidance with access to files, tools, memory, and execution environments. However, this modularity introduces attack surfaces that are largely missed by existing safety evaluations: even when the user request is benign, unsafe influence may reside in skill guidance, local artifacts, or execution-environment files that steer the agent toward unsafe actions. We present SkillSafetyBench, a runnable benchmark for evaluating such skill-mediated safety failures. SkillSafetyBench includes 155 adversarial cases across 47 tasks, 6 risk domains, and 30 safety categories, each evaluated with a case-specific rule-based verifier. Experiments with multiple CLI agents and model backends show that non-user attacks can consistently induce unsafe behavior, with distinct failure patterns across domains, attack methods, and scaffold-model

arXiv:2605.28302v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern large language model (LLM) inference has progressively disaggregated to keep pace with growing model sizes and tight TTFT and TPOT service-level objectives: from chunked-prefill aggregation, to prefill-decode (P/D) disaggregation, and most recently to operator-level Attention-FFN Disaggregation (AFD). This trend is especially important for mixture-of-experts (MoE) models, where memory-bound attention, compute-intensive expert FFNs, and MoE dispatch/combine communication create distinct resource demands. AFD further exposes this heterogeneity by placing attention and MoE-FFN execution on separate GPU groups. Each level of disaggregation deepens the scheduling design space across workload characteristics, resource allocation, and interconnect topology, raising the central question: when does each level actually pay off? We systematically characterize this trade-off for MoE inference across realistic workloads spanning input/output

arXiv:2605.28613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper studies the stability of low-rank implicit regularization in perturbed deep matrix factorization, where the target matrix is corrupted by a noise matrix. We first derive sufficient spectral conditions under which gradient descent exhibits a low-rank phase in the noiseless setting. These conditions show how the target spectrum, initialization, and step size jointly determine the existence of a nonempty low-rank interval. We then analyze the perturbed gradient descent dynamics, proving convergence guarantees and quantifying how the perturbation affects iteration complexity and eigenvalue recovery. Finally, we show that the low-rank phase persists under perturbation, with explicit dependence on the perturbation size. Numerical experiments support the theoretical findings.

arXiv:2504.04540v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: 3D Large Language Models (LLMs) leveraging spatial information in point clouds for 3D spatial reasoning attract great attention. Despite some promising results, the advantages of point clouds over other modalities remain unclear. Moreover, existing 3D benchmarks are insufficient for fairly evaluating the ability of multimodal LLMs to comprehend spatial concepts. To address these challenges, we introduce ScanReQA, a 3D spatial reasoning benchmark encompassing text, vision, and point cloud modalities. We then evaluate the performance of text, 2D, and 3D LLMs on the benchmark to compare the effectiveness of different modalities in understanding spatial concepts. Furthermore, we analyze the reasoning mechanisms behind 3D LLMs using point clouds. Our findings reveal that: 1) binary spatial reasoning remains challenging for current 3D LLMs, 2) MLLMs based on point cloud and visual modalities demonstrate stronger spatial reasoning capa
