Information-Theoretic Measures in AI: A Practical Decision Framework

arXiv:2604. 23716v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Information-theoretic (IT) measures are ubiquitous in artificial intelligence: entropy drives decision-tree splits and uncertainty quantification, cross-entropy is the default classification loss, mutual information underpins representation learning and feature selection, and transfer entropy reveals directed influence in dynamical systems.

Seeing What Is Actually There: PriVE-Bench and PriVE-Tools for Counterfactual Evaluation of Agentic Visual Evidence in VLMs

arXiv:2607. 16311v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) often answer visual questions using learned language and category priors rather than grounding their predictions in the image itself.

Sparse Evidence Can Suffice: Agentic Evidence Seeking for Multimodal Video Misinformation Detection

Multimodal video misinformation detection is commonly formulated as a holistic video-understanding task, where the entire video and its associated content are processed and judged in a single pass. However, real-world misinformation often exhibits a sparse and compositional evidence structure: a reliable decision may depend on only a few coupled clues, while most video content contributes limited additional information.
