Symmetry-Aware Likelihood-Orbit Aggregation for Selective Left-Right Claim Verification

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces Relation‑Orbit, a symmetry‑aware method for aggregating likelihoods from frozen vision‑language models to verify fine‑grained left‑right claims. It uses a closed‑form contrast that assigns eight normalized likelihoods based on reflection, inverse relation, and entity exchange, and asserts a claim only when the signed contrast exceeds a threshold chosen via Clopper‑Pearson bounds. Experiments on VSR, GQA, and LLaVA‑1.5/COCO show that Relation‑Orbit achieves higher mean test coverage at a 10% selective‑risk calibration target compared to an all‑eight Orbit‑Max baseline across multiple dataset‑backbone settings.

Cross-View Correspondence Is a Measurement Intervention: Two-Sided Validation for Agent Evaluation and Credit Assignment

The paper argues that cross‑view correspondence, commonly used in agent evaluation and trace‑based learning, functions as a measurement intervention. Removing or altering this correspondence can create artificial sensitivity or invariance, and multiple optimal correspondences can obscure mechanism labels and learning credit. The authors propose a validity theory with two‑sided validation, all‑optima identification, and uncertainty propagation, and demonstrate through experiments that unvalidated correspondences can misattribute credit and erase harmful responses.
