The paper introduces a 141‑million‑parameter encoder‑based PII detector trained on 1.12 million examples from 77 public datasets, all relabeled under a unified definition of broad contextual detection for 12 structured PII categories. It achieves higher recall than larger baselines on the AI4Privacy and Nemotron‑PII benchmarks at low false‑positive rates, while delivering 2–10× higher throughput and 94–97% less peak GPU memory usage. The model’s gains include improved coverage of multilingual disclosures and IP addresses embedded in URLs.

The paper introduces MOSAIC, a large adversarial benchmark for detecting AI-generated text, and presents NeuroStat, a new framework that combines token‑level probabilistic logits with deep semantic hidden states from a single language model. NeuroStat fuses these signals via Macro‑State Residual Modulation and uses orthogonal and contrastive losses to learn complementary representations. Experiments show that NeuroStat outperforms existing methods on MOSAIC, achieving superior robustness against adversarial attacks.
The paper demonstrates that object detection benchmarks suffer from incomplete annotations, with re-annotation of COCO, Pascal VOC, Cityscapes, and KITTI revealing up to a 60% increase in detected objects, especially small, occluded, or densely packed instances. The authors propose a scalable annotation pipeline that uses multiple annotators per object to capture uncertainty and improve recall, and they introduce two new large-scale benchmarks: an uncertainty-aware detection benchmark and a label error detection benchmark based on real errors. Their findings show that benchmark performance is highly sensitive to annotation quality, yet model rankings remain largely unchanged, highlighting the need for uncertainty-aware evaluation to better reflect real-world ambiguity.
The paper proposes a modular training pipeline for zero‑shot cross‑city object detection that combines a multi‑dataset pre‑training strategy with class‑agnostic objectness distillation and a domain‑resilient augmentation stream featuring a Grayworld transformation. Applied to the RF‑DETR detector, the approach reduces cross‑city distribution gaps while using only 16 GB GPU memory, achieving a 24.29‑point mAP improvement and 1st place on the AI City Challenge Track 6 leaderboard. The authors provide code and data at the referenced GitHub repository.
The study evaluates 16 AI‑generated image detection methods in a zero‑shot setting, testing 23 pretrained variants on 12 datasets with 2.6 million images from 291 generators. Results show no single detector consistently outperforms others, with accuracy ranging from 37.5 % to 75.0 %. The study highlights that training data alignment and generator type significantly affect performance, especially against modern commercial models, and identifies systematic failure patterns across datasets.
arXiv:2608. 10939v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual short-text classification supports operational systems such as content moderation, customer support routing, and intent recognition, yet aggregate evaluation often hides large differences between high-resource and low-resource languages.
The paper introduces Speculative Probing, a method that repurposes the speculative‑decoding module of large language models for real‑time classification tasks. By appending a trained soft prompt to the target sequence, the approach leverages the already‑cached KV store during inference, adding negligible overhead while achieving higher accuracy than traditional hidden‑state probes. Experiments on four classification tasks across multiple models show that these lightweight probes outperform zero‑shot GPT‑5.4‑mini and rival or surpass specialized 8B safety classifiers without running a full LLM.
