TeleLoRA: Teleporting Model-Specific Alignment Across LLMs
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Mitigating Trojans in Large Language Models (LLMs) is one of many tasks where alignment data is LLM specific, as different LLMs have different Trojan triggers and trigger behaviors to be removed. In this paper, we introduce TeleLoRA (Teleporting Low-Rank Adaptation), a novel framework that synergizes model-specific alignment data across multiple LLMs to enable zero-shot Trojan mitigation on unseen LLMs without alignment data. TeleLoRA learns a unified generator of LoRA adapter weights by leveraging local activation information across multiple LLMs. This generator is designed to be permutation symmetric to generalize across models with different architectures and sizes. We optimize the model design for memory efficiency, making it feasible to learn with large-scale LLMs with minimal computational resources. Experiments on LLM Trojan mitigation benchmarks demonstrate that TeleLoRA effectively reduces attack success rates while preserving the benign performance of the models.
LGR: LLM-Guided Ranking of Frontiers for Object Goal Navigation
Venue: arXiv cs.RO 2025
Year: 2025

Object Goal Navigation (OGN) is a fundamental task for robots and AI, with key applications such as mobile robot image databases (MRID). In particular, mapless OGN is essential in scenarios involving unknown or dynamic environments. This study aims to enhance recent modular mapless OGN systems by leveraging the commonsense reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Specifically, we address the challenge of determining the visiting order in frontier-based exploration by framing it as a frontier ranking problem. Our approach is grounded in recent findings that, while LLMs cannot determine the absolute value of a frontier, they excel at evaluating the relative value between multiple frontiers viewed within a single image using the view image as context. We dynamically manage the frontier list by adding and removing elements, using an LLM as a ranking model. The ranking results are represented as reciprocal rank vectors, which are ideal for multi-view, multi-query information fusion. We validate the effectiveness of our method through evaluations in Habitat-Sim.
Revisit Time Series Classification Benchmark: The Impact of Temporal Information for Classification
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

Time series classification is usually regarded as a distinct task from tabular data classification due to the importance of temporal information. However, in this paper, by performing permutation tests that disrupt temporal information on the UCR time series classification archive, the most widely used benchmark for time series classification, we identify a significant proportion of datasets where temporal information has little to no impact on classification. Many of these datasets are tabular in nature or rely mainly on tabular features, leading to potentially biased evaluations of time series classifiers focused on temporal information. To address this, we propose UCR Augmented, a benchmark based on the UCR time series classification archive designed to evaluate classifiers' ability to extract and utilize temporal information. Testing classifiers from seven categories on this benchmark revealed notable shifts in performance rankings. Some previously overlooked approaches perform well, while others see their performance decline significantly when temporal information is crucial. UCR Augmented provides a more robust framework for assessing time series classifiers, ensuring fairer evaluations.

Fixseeker: An Empirical Driven Graph-based Approach for Detecting Silent Vulnerability Fixes in Open Source Software
Venue: arXiv cs.SE 2025
Year: 2025

Open source software vulnerabilities pose significant security risks to downstream applications. While vulnerability databases provide valuable information for mitigation, many security patches are released silently in new commits of OSS repositories without explicit indications of their security impact. This makes it challenging for software maintainers and users to detect and address these vulnerability fixes. There are a few approaches for detecting vulnerability-fixing commits (VFCs) but most of these approaches leverage commit messages, which would miss silent VFCs. On the other hand, there are some approaches for detecting silent VFCs based on code change patterns but they often fail to adequately characterize vulnerability fix patterns, thereby lacking effectiveness. For example, some approaches analyze each hunk in known VFCs, in isolation, to learn vulnerability fix patterns; but vulnerabiliy fixes are often associated with multiple hunks, in which cases correlations of code changes across those hunks are essential for characterizing the vulnerability fixes. To address these problems, we first conduct a large-scale empirical study on 11,900 VFCs across six programming languages, in which we found that over 70% of VFCs involve multiple hunks with various types of correlations. Based on our findings, we propose Fixseeker, a graph-based approach that extracts the various correlations between code changes at the hunk level to detect silent vulnerability fixes. Our evaluation demonstrates that Fixseeker outperforms state-of-the-art approaches across multiple programming languages, achieving a high F1 score of 0.8404 on average in balanced datasets and consistently improving F1 score, AUC-ROC and AUC-PR scores by 32.40%, 1.55% and 8.24% on imbalanced datasets. Our evaluation also indicates the generality of Fixseeker across different repository sizes and commit complexities.
Turning Circle-based Control Barrier Function for Efficient Collision Avoidance of Nonholonomic Vehicles
Venue: arXiv cs.RO 2025
Year: 2025

This paper presents a new control barrier function (CBF) designed to improve the efficiency of collision avoidance for nonholonomic vehicles. Traditional CBFs typically rely on the shortest Euclidean distance to obstacles, overlooking the limited heading change ability of nonholonomic vehicles. This often leads to abrupt maneuvers and excessive speed reductions, which is not desirable and reduces the efficiency of collision avoidance. Our approach addresses these limitations by incorporating the distance to the turning circle, considering the vehicle's limited maneuverability imposed by its nonholonomic constraints. The proposed CBF is integrated with model predictive control (MPC) to generate more efficient trajectories compared to existing methods that rely solely on Euclidean distance-based CBFs. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through numerical simulations on unicycle vehicles and experiments with underactuated surface vehicles.
Bridging Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization and GPU Acceleration via Tensorization
Venue: arXiv cs.NE 2025
Year: 2025

Evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) has made significant strides over the past two decades. However, as problem scales and complexities increase, traditional EMO algorithms face substantial performance limitations due to insufficient parallelism and scalability. While most work has focused on algorithm design to address these challenges, little attention has been given to hardware acceleration, thereby leaving a clear gap between EMO algorithms and advanced computing devices, such as GPUs. To bridge the gap, we propose to parallelize EMO algorithms on GPUs via the tensorization methodology. By employing tensorization, the data structures and operations of EMO algorithms are transformed into concise tensor representations, which seamlessly enables automatic utilization of GPU computing. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by applying it to three representative EMO algorithms: NSGA-III, MOEA/D, and HypE. To comprehensively assess our methodology, we introduce a multiobjective robot control benchmark using a GPU-accelerated physics engine. Our experiments show that the tensorized EMO algorithms achieve speedups of up to 1113x compared to their CPU-based counterparts, while maintaining solution quality and effectively scaling population sizes to hundreds of thousands. Furthermore, the tensorized EMO algorithms efficiently tackle complex multiobjective robot control tasks, producing high-quality solutions with diverse behaviors.

HierRelTriple: Guiding Indoor Layout Generation with Hierarchical Relationship Triplet Losses
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

We present a hierarchical triplet-based indoor relationship learning method, coined HierRelTriple, with a focus on spatial relationship learning. Existing approaches often depend on manually defined spatial rules or simplified pairwise representations, which fail to capture complex, multi-object relationships found in real scenarios and lead to overcrowded or physically implausible arrangements. We introduce HierRelTriple, a hierarchical relational triplets modeling framework that first partitions functional regions and then automatically extracts three levels of spatial relationships: object-to-region (O2R), object-to-object (O2O), and corner-to-corner (C2C). By representing these relationships as geometric triplets and employing approaches based on Delaunay Triangulation to establish spatial priors, we derive IoU loss between denoised and ground truth triplets and integrate them seamlessly into the diffusion denoising process. The introduction of the joint formulation of inter-object distances, angular orientations, and spatial relationships enhances the physical realism of the generated scenes. Extensive experiments on unconditional layout synthesis, floorplan-conditioned layout generation, and scene rearrangement demonstrate that HierRelTriple improves spatial-relation metrics by over 15% and substantially reduces collisions and boundary violations compared to state-of-the-art methods.
Power Minimization for NOMA-assisted Pinching Antenna Systems With Multiple Waveguides
Venue: arXiv cs.IT 2025
Year: 2025

The integration of pinching antenna systems with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has emerged as a promising technique for future 6G applications. This paper is the first to investigate power minimization for NOMA-assisted pinching antenna systems utilizing multiple dielectric waveguides. We formulate a total power minimization problem constrained by each user's minimum data requirements, addressing a classical challenge. To efficiently solve the non-convex optimization problem, we propose an iterative algorithm. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the interference function of this algorithm is standard, ensuring convergence to a unique fixed point. Numerical simulations validate that our developed algorithm converges within a few steps and significantly outperforms benchmark strategies across various data rate requirements. The results also indicate that the minimum transmit power, as a function of the interval between the waveguides, exhibits an approximately oscillatory decay with a negative trend.
CNN+Transformer Based Anomaly Traffic Detection in UAV Networks for Emergency Rescue
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) network has gained significant attentions in recent years due to its various applications. However, the traffic security becomes the key threatening public safety issue in an emergency rescue system due to the increasing vulnerability of UAVs to cyber attacks in environments with high heterogeneities. Hence, in this paper, we propose a novel anomaly traffic detection architecture for UAV networks based on the software-defined networking (SDN) framework and blockchain technology. Specifically, SDN separates the control and data plane to enhance the network manageability and security. Meanwhile, the blockchain provides decentralized identity authentication and data security records. Beisdes, a complete security architecture requires an effective mechanism to detect the time-series based abnormal traffic. Thus, an integrated algorithm combining convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformer (CNN+Transformer) for anomaly traffic detection is developed, which is called CTranATD. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed CTranATD algorithm is effective and outperforms the individual CNN, Transformer, and LSTM algorithms for detecting anomaly traffic.
Translating Workflow Nets into the Partially Ordered Workflow Language
Venue: arXiv cs.LO 2025
Year: 2025

The Partially Ordered Workflow Language (POWL) has recently emerged as a process modeling notation, offering strong quality guarantees and high expressiveness. However, its adoption is hindered by the prevalence of standard notations like workflow nets (WF-nets) and BPMN in practice. This paper presents a novel algorithm for transforming safe and sound WF-net into equivalent POWL models. The algorithm recursively identifies structural patterns within the WF-net and translates them into their POWL representation. We formally prove the correctness of our approach, showing that the generated POWL model preserves the language of the input WF-net. Furthermore, we demonstrate the high scalability of our algorithm, and we show its completeness on a subclass of WF-nets that encompasses equivalent representations for all POWL models. This work bridges the gap between the theoretical advantages of POWL and the practical need for compatibility with established notations, paving the way for broader adoption of POWL in process analysis and improvement applications.
Pluggable Style Representation Learning for Multi-Style Transfer
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Due to the high diversity of image styles, the scalability to various styles plays a critical role in real-world applications. To accommodate a large amount of styles, previous multi-style transfer approaches rely on enlarging the model size while arbitrary-style transfer methods utilize heavy backbones. However, the additional computational cost introduced by more model parameters hinders these methods to be deployed on resource-limited devices. To address this challenge, in this paper, we develop a style transfer framework by decoupling the style modeling and transferring. Specifically, for style modeling, we propose a style representation learning scheme to encode the style information into a compact representation. Then, for style transferring, we develop a style-aware multi-style transfer network (SaMST) to adapt to diverse styles using pluggable style representations. In this way, our framework is able to accommodate diverse image styles in the learned style representations without introducing additional overhead during inference, thereby maintaining efficiency. Experiments show that our style representation can extract accurate style information. Moreover, qualitative and quantitative results demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of both accuracy and efficiency. The codes are available in https://github.com/The-Learning-And-Vision-Atelier-LAVA/SaMST.
UB-Mesh: a Hierarchically Localized nD-FullMesh Datacenter Network Architecture
Venue: arXiv cs.AR 2025
Year: 2025

As the Large-scale Language Models (LLMs) continue to scale, the requisite computational power and bandwidth escalate. To address this, we introduce UB-Mesh, a novel AI datacenter network architecture designed to enhance scalability, performance, cost-efficiency and availability. Unlike traditional datacenters that provide symmetrical node-to-node bandwidth, UB-Mesh employs a hierarchically localized nD-FullMesh network topology. This design fully leverages the data locality of LLM training, prioritizing short-range, direct interconnects to minimize data movement distance and reduce switch usage. Although UB-Mesh's nD-FullMesh topology offers several theoretical advantages, its concrete architecture design, physical implementation and networking system optimization present new challenges. For the actual construction of UB-Mesh, we first design the UB-Mesh-Pod architecture, which is based on a 4D-FullMesh topology. UB-Mesh-Pod is implemented via a suite of hardware components that serve as the foundational building blocks, including specifically-designed NPU, CPU, Low-Radix-Switch (LRS), High-Radix-Switch (HRS), NICs and others. These components are interconnected via a novel Unified Bus (UB) technique, which enables flexible IO bandwidth allocation and hardware resource pooling. For networking system optimization, we propose advanced routing mechanism named All-Path-Routing (APR) to efficiently manage data traffic. These optimizations, combined with topology-aware performance enhancements and robust reliability measures like 64+1 backup design, result in 2.04x higher cost-efficiency, 7.2% higher network availability compared to traditional Clos architecture and 95%+ linearity in various LLM training tasks.
MoLe-VLA: Dynamic Layer-skipping Vision Language Action Model via Mixture-of-Layers for Efficient Robot Manipulation
Venue: arXiv cs.RO 2025
Year: 2025

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel in understanding complex language and visual data, enabling generalist robotic systems to interpret instructions and perform embodied tasks. Nevertheless, their real-world deployment is hindered by substantial computational and storage demands. Recent insights into the homogeneous patterns in the LLM layer have inspired sparsification techniques to address these challenges, such as early exit and token pruning. However, these methods often neglect the critical role of the final layers that encode the semantic information most relevant to downstream robotic tasks. Aligning with the recent breakthrough of the Shallow Brain Hypothesis (SBH) in neuroscience and the mixture of experts in model sparsification, we conceptualize each LLM layer as an expert and propose a Mixture-of-Layers Vision-Language-Action model (MoLe-VLA, or simply MoLe) architecture for dynamic LLM layer activation. We introduce a Spatial-Temporal Aware Router (STAR) for MoLe to selectively activate only parts of the layers based on the robot's current state, mimicking the brain's distinct signal pathways specialized for cognition and causal reasoning. Additionally, to compensate for the cognitive ability of LLMs lost in MoLe, we devise a Cognition Self-Knowledge Distillation (CogKD) framework. CogKD enhances the understanding of task demands and improves the generation of task-relevant action sequences by leveraging cognitive features. Extensive experiments conducted in both RLBench simulation and real-world environments demonstrate the superiority of MoLe-VLA in both efficiency and performance. Specifically, MoLe-VLA achieves an 8% improvement in the mean success rate across ten tasks while reducing computational costs by up to x5.6 compared to standard LLMs.
Evaluating Facial Expression Recognition Datasets for Deep Learning: A Benchmark Study with Novel Similarity Metrics
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

This study investigates the key characteristics and suitability of widely used Facial Expression Recognition (FER) datasets for training deep learning models. In the field of affective computing, FER is essential for interpreting human emotions, yet the performance of FER systems is highly contingent on the quality and diversity of the underlying datasets. To address this issue, we compiled and analyzed 24 FER datasets, including those targeting specific age groups such as children, adults, and the elderly, and processed them through a comprehensive normalization pipeline. In addition, we enriched the datasets with automatic annotations for age and gender, enabling a more nuanced evaluation of their demographic properties. To further assess dataset efficacy, we introduce three novel metricsLocal, Global, and Paired Similarity, which quantitatively measure dataset difficulty, generalization capability, and cross-dataset transferability. Benchmark experiments using state-of-the-art neural networks reveal that large-scale, automatically collected datasets (e.g., AffectNet, FER2013) tend to generalize better, despite issues with labeling noise and demographic biases, whereas controlled datasets offer higher annotation quality but limited variability. Our findings provide actionable recommendations for dataset selection and design, advancing the development of more robust, fair, and effective FER systems.
Factorised Representations of Join Queries: Tight Bounds and a New Dichotomy
Venue: arXiv cs.DB 2025
Year: 2025

A common theme in factorised databases and knowledge compilation is the representation of solution sets in a useful yet succinct data structure. In this paper, we study the representation of the result of join queries (or, equivalently, the set of homomorphisms between two relational structures). We focus on the very general format of $\{\cup, \times\}$-circuits -- also known as d-representations or DNNF circuits -- and aim to find the limits of this approach. In prior work, it has been shown that there always exists a $\{\cup, \times\}$-circuits-circuit of size $N^{O(subw)}$ representing the query result, where N is the size of the database and subw the submodular width of the query. If the arity of all relations is bounded by a constant, then subw is linear in the treewidth tw of the query. In this setting, the authors of this paper proved a lower bound of $N^{Ω(tw^{\varepsilon})}$ on the circuit size (ICALP 2023), where $\varepsilon>0$ depends on the excluded grid theorem. Our first main contribution is to improve this lower bound to $N^{Ω(tw)}$, which is tight up to a constant factor in the exponent. Our second contribution is a $N^{Ω(subw^{1/4})}$ lower bound on the circuit size for join queries over relations of unbounded arity. Both lower bounds are unconditional lower bounds on the circuit size for well-chosen database instances. Their proofs use a combination of structural (hyper)graph theory with communication complexity in a simple yet novel way. While the second lower bound is asymptotically equivalent to Marx's conditional bound on the decision complexity (JACM 2013), our $N^{Θ(tw)}$ bound in the bounded-arity setting is tight, while the best conditional bound on the decision complexity is $N^{Ω(tw/\log tw)}$. Note that, removing this logarithmic factor in the decision setting is a major open problem.
