Detect, Remask, Repair: Diffusion Editing for Faithful Summarization of Evolving Contexts

The paper introduces DETECT-REMASK-REPAIR, a diffusion-based method for updating outdated spans in existing summaries while keeping supported content intact. It identifies, masks, and repairs only the changed regions using masked diffusion language models. Experiments on DialogSum and a new StreamSum benchmark show that this localized repair improves faithfulness, reduces repair time to under half a second, and offers trade‑offs between faithfulness, speed, and preservation of the original summary.

Beyond the Evidence Coherence Trap: Agent-Driven Evidence Selection for Temporally Disordered Fake News Detection

The paper introduces ChronoFake, a benchmark of 30,706 news articles that isolates temporally disordered fake news, where factual events are rearranged into false chronologies. It identifies the "evidence coherence trap," where verification relies on locally coherent but temporally mismatched evidence. To counter this, the authors propose DelSA, a document-selection agent that iteratively refines evidence during training and uses a frozen rulebook for inference, leveraging an LLM for evidence characterization and a verifier-trained reranker for timeline consistency, achieving superior performance on ChronoFake and competitive results on other datasets.

MORA: Modeling Observed Changes for Drift-Robust Time-Series Anomaly Detection

MORA is a drift‑robust time‑series anomaly detection framework that addresses the ambiguity between distribution drift and true anomalies by defining a temporal change disambiguation problem. It reconstructs a local target from paired short‑ and long‑term views, using the reconstruction gap as a measure of contextual support to adjust the primary anomaly score. The method requires no drift annotations or online adaptation and demonstrates strong robustness to non‑stationarity while maintaining sensitivity to genuine anomalies on four TSAD benchmarks.
