EmbeddGAN introduces a new GAN framework that replaces the traditional discriminator with an embedding network trained to maximize statistical dependence between embeddings and real/fake labels using Gini distance correlation (gCor). The generator simultaneously minimizes this dependence, encouraging real and generated samples to become indistinguishable in the learned low‑dimensional embedding space. Experiments on MNIST, CIFAR‑10, and CelebA show competitive performance and notably more stable training dynamics compared to established baselines.

The paper introduces a neuro‑symbolic framework for scientific reasoning that separates symbolic validity and semantic groundedness. A deterministic symbolic verifier acts as a hard filter to guarantee syntactic and arithmetic correctness, while a Process Reward Model (PRM) is trained on verifier‑accepted steps to assess contextual grounding. The authors propose Counterfactual Symbolic Perturbation (CSP) to generate hard negative examples that pass the verifier but are logically flawed, enabling efficient PRM training and a verifier‑first constrained search at inference.

The paper introduces Reinforced Adversarial Learning (RAL), a method that uses a co‑trained LLM judge to transform reference answers into a reward signal for on‑policy post‑training of reasoning LLMs. RAL is validated on three verifiable tasks—integer multiplication, code‑based arithmetic‑expression synthesis, and SMILES‑to‑formula translation—showing performance comparable to reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. The approach is further applied to scientific abstract generation, producing abstracts that are harder to distinguish from real ones than those from frontier‑LLM baselines, demonstrating its potential for high‑value domains where explicit reward signals are hard to define.

The paper introduces concept-based property attacks, which target logical inconsistencies in human‑interpretable concepts (e.g., “red ∧ octagonal → stop_sign”) rather than merely flipping final class labels. It formalizes these properties, proves that attacking them reduces the search space compared to class‑level attacks, and implements them using concept‑based explainable AI techniques. Empirical results across vision and code‑processing models show that retraining with these attacks preserves robustness gains while better eliminating semantic biases.

The paper reexamines GAN training by replacing the traditional cross‑entropy discriminator with an upper bound on the Bayes error rate, using the Bayes optimal learning threshold (BOLT) loss. It shows that, with balanced class priors, the resulting adversarial game is equivalent to minimizing total variation between data and generator distributions, and introduces BOLT‑GAN when the discriminator is constrained to be 1‑Lipschitz. Experiments on four image‑generation benchmarks demonstrate that BOLT‑GAN achieves better sample quality and coverage than WGAN‑GP, reducing FID scores on CIFAR‑10 and LSUN Bedroom‑64 within a 20‑epoch budget.
