arXiv:2604. 06893v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep convolutional neural networks achieve remarkable performance by exhaustively processing dense spatial feature maps, yet this brute-force strategy introduces significant computational redundancy and encourages reliance on spurious background correlations.
arXiv:2606. 08156v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision Transformers (ViTs) achieve strong performance but suffer from high computational costs due to quadratic self-attention complexity.
arXiv:2607. 08605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have emerged as a promising technique for mechanistic interpretability by learning a set of sparse latent features in large models, each of which encodes a distinct concept.
arXiv:2608. 08624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Domain generalization (DG) and neural network pruning are conventionally treated as distinct objectives, targeting out-of-distribution (OOD) robustness and model efficiency, respectively.
arXiv:2608. 08309v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We argue that learning visual representations without labels requires a training signal jointly complete across three non-overlapping objectives: semantic invariance across augmented views, patch-level spatial prediction, and representational non-degeneracy.
arXiv:2608. 03395v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deepfake technologies pose increasing threats to facial privacy and identity security, motivating proactive defenses that protect facial images before misuse.

arXiv:2606. 25232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ordered bottlenecks aim to provide utility at flexible budgets by assigning coarse information to early tokens and task-relevant detail to later ones.
arXiv:2602. 09611v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Watermarking has emerged as a pivotal solution for content traceability and intellectual property protection in large vision language models (LVLMs).
arXiv:2607. 18958v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), represented by LLaVA and GPT-4V, have demonstrated remarkable capabilities, their visual inputs remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, posing significant security risks.
arXiv:2608. 08308v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern vision systems must operate in "open-world" settings, where models must recognize known categories and detect unseen or anomalous content.
While Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), represented by LLaVA and GPT-4V, have demonstrated remarkable capabilities, their visual inputs remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, posing significant security risks. Existing defense methods predominantly target single-task scenarios (e.
arXiv:2606. 01503v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified vision-language models (VLMs) integrate visual understanding and visual generation within a single autoregressive backbone, but their joint training is computationally expensive and largely overlooked from an efficiency perspective.
