SeFaR: Semantic Feature-aware Robustness Testing of Deep Neural Networks

Deep neural networks are increasingly deployed in safety-critical domains as perception modules, where failures are often caused due to rare and under-represented scenarios. This necessitates the need to evaluate the semantic robustness of perception models; conformance of behavior to high-level requirements over real-world perceptual variability.

Uncertainty Quantification for Flow-Based Vision-Language-Action Models

Vision-language-action models (VLAs) combine vision-language backbones with expressive generative action heads trained via flow matching on large-scale robotic datasets. Despite their strong empirical performance in robotic manipulation, VLAs lack mechanisms to quantify confidence in their predictions and to detect when their actions may be unreliable.

DAVET: Denoising-Aware Visual Evidence Trajectory Allocation for Diffusion Vision-Language Models

arXiv:2608. 01821v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion vision-language models (dVLMs) iteratively denoise masked responses while conditioning each denoising step on visual evidence, making visual conditioning a substantial recurring inference cost.
