Multimodal fake news detection plays a crucial role in combating online misinformation. The inherent domain diversity of news in the real world has driven the development of cross-domain detection methods. However, these detection methods either suffer from significant performance degradation due to semantic and deception pattern shifts between the training (source) and test (target) domains or heavily rely on annotated labels. To address the problems, we propose ADOSE, an active multi-source domain adaptation framework for multimodal fake news detection which actively annotates a small subset of target samples to improve detection performance. Specifically, for domain shifts, we design a multi-expert classifier network based on refined features to comprehensively capture and adapt to the semantic space and deception patterns of news across different domains. To maximize adaptation performance with limited annotation cost, we propose a least-disagree uncertainty selector equipped with a diversity calculator for selecting the most informative samples. The selector leverages the uncertainty of inconsistent predictions before and after perturbations by multiple classifiers as an indicator of unfamiliar samples. It further incorporates diversity scores derived from multi-view features to ensure the chosen samples achieve maximal coverage of target domain features. The extensive experiments on multiple datasets show that ADOSE outperforms existing domain adaptation methods by 2.45% ~ 9.1%, indicating the superiority of our model.

Multimodal sequential recommender systems leverage diverse modal inputs to enhance the accuracy and relevance of personalized recommendations. However, existing fusion strategies often struggle to capture intricate cross-modal interactions, especially under the evolving dynamics of user intent. Moreover, they frequently neglect modality imbalance issues, leading to suboptimal utilization of multimodal information. To address these challenges, we propose DuAF-MAT, a novel framework for robust multimodal sequential recommendation. Our approach consists of three key components: (1) a Dual-Aware Adaptive Fusion (DuAF) module dynamically calibrates modality contributions by jointly modeling user preferences and temporal information, enabling the extraction of multimodal features aligned with evolving user interests; (2) by integrating Modality Adversarial Training with the Mixture-of-Experts paradigm, MAT-MoE employs an ensemble of expert generators to dynamically reconstruct missing modality representations, effectively mitigating modality imbalance challenges; (3) to address the inherent sparsity of sequential behavior data, we propose a Multi-Supervised Contrastive Learning strategy that integrates cross-modal alignment and virtual sequence augmentation. This approach enhances user interest modeling by leveraging diverse learning signals, resulting in improved model robustness and generalization capability. Extensive experiments on four public datasets demonstrate that DuAF-MAT significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines.

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have recently demonstrated impressive performance across a range of reasoning tasks by generating intermediate thoughts. However, these models can suffer from overthinking—generating excessive tokens that contribute little to final accuracy while increasing inference cost. To mitigate this, we propose TIV (Thought Injection via Vectors), an innovative framework that compresses token-level reasoning into compact vectors without sacrificing performance. Rather than generating explicit thoughts, TIV injects learnable vectors into the post-attention hidden states of the final token across Transformer layers, enabling implicit and lightweight reasoning. We further introduce a two-stage reinforcement learning strategy: the first stage calibrates the model's reasoning distribution, and the second distills it into a vector-based policy optimized for both accuracy and brevity. Experiments on three reasoning benchmarks show that TIV preserves over 99% of the original accuracy while reducing output length by more than 65% on average, reaching up to 80% in some cases. Moreover, TIV consistently achieves superior trade-offs between accuracy and efficiency compared to existing methods, distinguishing itself as a state-of-the-art (SOTA) approach for efficient reasoning in LRMs.

The Dynamic Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) paradigm actively decides when and what to retrieve during the text generation process of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, current dynamic RAG methods fall short in both aspects: identifying the optimal moment to activate the retrieval module and crafting the appropriate query once retrieval is triggered. To overcome these limitations, we introduce an approach, namely, RaDIO, Real-Time Hallucination Detection with Contextual Index Optimized query formulation for dynamic RAG. The approach is specifically designed to make decisions on when and what to retrieve based on the LLM’s real-time information needs during the text generation process. We evaluate RaDIO along with existing methods comprehensively over several knowledge-intensive generation datasets. Experimental results show that RaDIO achieves superior performance on all tasks, demonstrating the effectiveness of our work.

Semantic-guided Diverse Decoding for Large Language Model

Diverse decoding of large language models is crucial for applications requiring multiple semantically distinct responses, yet existing methods primarily achieve lexical rather than semantic diversity. This limitation significantly constrains Best-of-N strategies, group-based reinforcement learning, and data synthesis. While temperature sampling and diverse beam search modify token distributions or apply n-gram penalties, they fail to ensure meaningful semantic differentiation. We introduce Semantic-guided Diverse Decoding (SemDiD), operating directly in embedding space that balances quality with diversity through three complementary mechanisms: orthogonal directional guidance, dynamic inter-group repulsion, and position-debiased probability assessment. SemDiD harmonizes these competing objectives using adaptive gain functions and constraint optimization, ensuring both quality thresholds and maximal semantic differentiation. Experiments show SemDiD consistently outperforms existing methods, improving Best-of-N coverage by 1. 4-5. 2% across diverse tasks and accelerating RLHF training convergence by 15% while increasing accuracy by up to 2. 1%.

Training on the Benchmark Is Not All You Need

The success of Large Language Models (LLMs) relies heavily on the huge amount of pre-training data learned in the pre-training phase. The opacity of the pre-training process and the training data causes the results of many benchmark tests to become unreliable. If any model has been trained on a benchmark test set, it can seriously hinder the health of the field. In order to automate and efficiently test the capabilities of large language models, numerous mainstream benchmarks adopt a multiple-choice format. As the swapping of the contents of multiple-choice options does not affect the meaning of the question itself, we propose a simple and effective data leakage detection method based on this property. Specifically, we shuffle the contents of the options in the data to generate the corresponding derived data sets, and then detect data leakage based on the model's log probability distribution over the derived data sets. If there is a maximum and outlier in the set of log probabilities, it indicates that the data is leaked. Our method is able to work under gray-box conditions without access to model training data or weights, effectively identifying data leakage from benchmark test sets in model pre-training data, including both normal scenarios and complex scenarios where options may have been shuffled intentionally or unintentionally. Through experiments based on two LLMs and benchmark designs, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. In addition, we evaluate the degree of data leakage of 35 mainstream open-source LLMs on four benchmark datasets and give a ranking of the leaked LLMs for each benchmark, and we find that the Qwen family of LLMs has the highest degree of data leakage.

The educational disparities among different regions are remarkably significant. The educational resource platform can effectively bridge the educational capability gap between regions. Most of the existing recommendation algorithms only consider interaction history, while we argue that the dependencies between knowledge points and education-related features are crucial for education resource recommendations. To address this, we propose DFRP, an educational resource recommendation platform based on knowledge graphs(KGs) and educational scale feedback. DFRP employs a recommendation algorithm based on teaching pathways and educational dimensions to achieve accurate recommendations and active feedback on educational resources. We also provide a detailed description of the system framework and present a demonstration scenario that uses educational scales for active feedback and KGs to show knowledge point dependencies.

Protein complex is a group of associated polypeptide chains which plays essential roles in biological process. Given a graph representing protein-protein interactions (PPI) network, it is critical but non-trivial to detect protein complexes. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised network embedding model by adopting graph convolutional networks to effectively detect densely connected subgraphs. We conduct extensive experiment on two popular PPI networks with various data sizes and densities. The experimental results show our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance.

In this paper, we propose an adversarial process for abstractive text summarization, in which we simultaneously train a generative model G and a discriminative model D. In particular, we build the generator G as an agent of reinforcement learning, which takes the raw text as input and predicts the abstractive summarization. We also build a discriminator which attempts to distinguish the generated summary from the ground truth summary. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our model achieves competitive ROUGE scores with the state-of-the-art methods on CNN/Daily Mail dataset. Qualitatively, we show that our model is able to generate more abstractive, readable and diverse summaries1.

Soft-Gated Warping-GAN for Pose-Guided Person Image Synthesis

Despite remarkable advances in image synthesis research, existing works often fail in manipulating images under the context of large geometric transformations. Synthesizing person images conditioned on arbitrary poses is one of the most representative examples where the generation quality largely relies on the capability of identifying and modeling arbitrary transformations on different body parts. Current generative models are often built on local convolutions and overlook the key challenges (e. g. heavy occlusions, different views or dramatic appearance changes) when distinct geometric changes happen for each part, caused by arbitrary pose manipulations. This paper aims to resolve these challenges induced by geometric variability and spatial displacements via a new Soft-Gated Warping Generative Adversarial Network (Warping-GAN), which is composed of two stages: 1) it first synthesizes a target part segmentation map given a target pose, which depicts the region-level spatial layouts for guiding image synthesis with higher-level structure constraints; 2) the Warping-GAN equipped with a soft-gated warping-block learns feature-level mapping to render textures from the original image into the generated segmentation map. Warping-GAN is capable of controlling different transformation degrees given distinct target poses. Moreover, the proposed warping-block is light-weight and flexible enough to be injected into any networks. Human perceptual studies and quantitative evaluations demonstrate the superiority of our Warping-GAN that significantly outperforms all existing methods on two large datasets.
