MexHat: A Dataset for Hate Speech Detection in Mexican Spanish Videos

Ensuring online safety through content monitoring had raised Hate Speech Detection as a crucial task to be addressed. By essence the task demands the capture of contextual cues, which are essential for a precise understanding of the content's intent. Although automated detection approaches for the task have advanced significantly, the scarcity of non-English resources persists, limiting the ability of models to adapt to the subtle, context-dependent, and culturally related nature of multimodal content. In this paper, we introduce MexHat, a video dataset designed to capture the linguistic and cultural cues for the hate-speech detection task in a Mexican Spanish context. Our dataset comprises around 1k video clips annotated across two tasks: a three-way class evaluation (no negative content, offensive content and hate-speech content), and a fine-grained class evaluation including three hate-speech sub-categories. The dataset statistics and the baseline results highlight the inherent challenges associated with the task. Disclaimer: This paper contains sensitive content that may be disturbing to some readers.

EAServe: Encode-Aware Disaggregated Serving for Multimodal Large Language Models

Disaggregating the two stages, Prefill and Decode, onto separate GPU pools is now a standard optimization for (text-only) LLM serving. However, multimodal LLMs (MLLMs), which add a third phase, Encode, pose new challenges for resource allocation. Encode turns images, video, or audio into embeddings that the language model can consume, yielding a three-stage Encode-Prefill-Decode (EPD) pipeline. Existing frameworks offer only partial answers: text-only PD systems lack Encode, while EPD frameworks expose it as a separate service without regulating downstream request flow. The pipeline also carries a structural resource imbalance: every request enters through Encode before downstream work can begin, yet per-request execution leaves the encode GPU severely underutilized even at high loads, starving the downstream Prefill and Decode workers. Addressing this, we reposition Encode as the control point of the EPD pipeline, exposing three tightly coupled dimensions: when work enters downstream, where prefill executes, and how the GPU is shared. We instantiate this in EAServe across two co-designed layers. Its runtime manages load-adaptive micro-batching, rate-controlled partial offload to a co-resident prefill worker, and dynamic SM partitioning for predictable co-location. The configuration layer, Hybrid Auto Selection (HAS), navigates the joint space of GPU allocation, encode batch size, and offload ratio by pruning unbalanced allocations with per-stage capacity profiling and refining the remainder through TPE-based Bayesian optimization. Evaluated on three MLLM architectures spanning image, video, and audio, EAServe delivers up to 4.3x and 1.7x higher goodput than NVIDIA Dynamo and vLLM, respectively, under identical SLO constraints, sustains more balanced and higher GPU utilization across the EPD pipeline, and reaches near-optimal configurations faster than baseline search methods.

ClearGS: Reliability-Aware Gaussian Splatting from Handheld Videos

We present ClearGS for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) from handheld videos with uneven viewpoint coverage and mixed frame quality. Rather than selecting frames with binary decisions, ClearGS uses Reliability-aware View Allocation (RVA) to assign graded raw-supervision weights based on appearance reliability, degradation risk, and geometric utility, while weakly reactivating useful suppressed frames to maintain trajectory coverage. Since weighting cannot restore details lost to blur or distortion, ClearGS further introduces Render-Guided In-Video Restoration (RIVR). The current 3DGS render provides a pose-aligned structural candidate, a frozen no-reference restoration expert restores the corresponding raw video observation without any clean reference image, and no-reference perceptual scores select among the render, restored observation, and high-frequency fused candidate. ClearGS then applies Full-Trajectory Repair Consolidation to revisit accepted repairs and preserve details introduced early. On GS2E and GSOTM, ClearGS achieves state-of-the-art overall performance, with consistent CLIP-IQA and MUSIQ gains and LPIPS reductions in most degradation settings, without paired sharp supervision or matched clean references.

Beyond Empirical Support: Structured Outlier Generation via Sinkhorn Optimal Transport

Outliers are essential for evaluating and improving the robustness of machine learning systems, especially when future distributions may differ significantly from historical training data. In high-stakes applications, robustness often depends on rare cases that finite datasets fail to capture, making simple resampling or perturbation insufficient for stress scenario generation. Existing outlier synthesis methods typically rely on sparse neighborhoods, low support latent regions, or classifier boundary crossings, which can be heuristic, unstable, and tied to specific modalities or architectures. We therefore propose Sinkhorn Boundary Outlier Generation (SBOG), a structured framework for latent-space outlier generation that couples Sinkhorn optimal transport geometry with distributionally robust boundary modeling. The resulting Sinkhorn-induced support cost guides the sampler toward weakly supported boundary regions, while semantic constraints prevent uncontrolled drift from the intended context, yielding controlled deviations from the in-distribution reference measure rather than arbitrary sparse-region samples. Experiments on time series anomaly generation and image outlier synthesis show that our framework produces informative, semantically controlled outliers and improves downstream robustness evaluation across modalities, providing a foundation for stress scenario generation beyond empirical support.

Uncertainty-Aware Federated Learning for Infant Movement Analysis

Infant movement analysis provides valuable biomarkers for the early identification of neurodevelopmental disorders. Recent advances in deep learning have enabled automated analysis of infant movements from video-derived skeletal representations, achieving performance comparable to expert assessment for tasks such as General Movement Assessment (GMA). However, most existing approaches rely on centralized training, requiring data from multiple institutions to be collected and stored at a single site. Such assumptions are often impractical in clinical settings due to privacy, governance, and data-sharing constraints. To address these challenges, we present, to the best of our knowledge, the first federated learning framework for automated infant movement analysis and General Movement Assessment using skeletal motion data. As a clinically relevant use case, the proposed framework is evaluated on fidgety movement classification. To quantify model confidence, Monte Carlo (MC) Dropout is employed to estimate predictive uncertainty during inference. Building upon this, we propose an Uncertainty-Aware Federated Averaging (UA-FedAvg) strategy that incorporates predictive entropy derived from MC-Dropout into the federated aggregation process, enabling client contributions to be adjusted according to their predictive uncertainty. Experiments were conducted using a cross-subject evaluation protocol under a three-client federated learning setting. Results demonstrate that federated learning substantially improves classification performance compared with independently trained local models while achieving performance approaching that of centralized training. Furthermore, UA-FedAvg and its variant incorporating validation loss generally outperform conventional FedAvg across the evaluated data-split configurations.

Different Corruptions, Different Signals: Uncertainty and Loss in Federated Data Quality

Federated learning (FL) data corruption can affect either inputs or labels, but it remains unclear whether input-conditional uncertainty and prediction-label loss expose these corruption modes equally. This paper compares two corruption-detection signals in FL: input-conditional uncertainty and prediction-label loss. The uncertainty signal is characterised using a learned aleatoric variance estimate together with Monte Carlo (MC) dropout variance and entropy measures, while the loss is computed against the supplied label. We test these signals against additive image noise and persistent random label flips. On ResNet-20 with CIFAR-10 and SVHN under Dirichlet partitions with data that are not independent and identically distributed (non-IID), the two corruption types behave differently. For persistent random label flips, the within-client per-sample area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) is 0.85 on CIFAR-10 and 0.95 on SVHN for prediction-label loss, while every uncertainty estimator stays at chance (0.49--0.50). This pattern is consistent with the model remaining confident in the underlying image despite the supplied label being wrong. For image noise, expected-entropy uncertainty rises above chance (0.67 on CIFAR-10 and 0.66 on SVHN), while loss responds comparably (0.64 on both). Each signal is therefore the stronger detector for a different corruption: the prediction-label loss for persistent label flips, and expected-entropy uncertainty for image noise, with its advantage becoming apparent as federation-wide corruption prevalence increases. Robust FL data-quality assessment should match the signal to the corruption rather than rely on uncertainty alone across corruption types.

From Reward Signal to Visual Utility: A Controlled Audit of Medical VLM Post-Training

Medical vision-language model (VLM) post-training is commonly evaluated through answer accuracy. We examine how changes in accuracy and training objectives relate to image-conditioned decisions in a controlled Qwen2.5-VL-3B study on PMC-VQA. We compare supervised fine-tuning (SFT) with low-rank adaptation (LoRA) restricted to the language model, expanded multimodal adaptation scopes, standard answer-only Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), and a counterfactual evidence objective. On 2,000 clean-test questions, language model LoRA SFT changes correct-image accuracy by +1.10 percentage points (95% paired bootstrap CI:-0.85 to +3.05), while visual-benefit events decrease by 2.40 points and image sensitivity decreases by 5.60 points. Paired records reveal 155 acquired and 203 lost visual-benefit events. Broader adaptation yields lower correct-image accuracy than language-model LoRA SFT. Standard GRPO produces mixed-reward groups and parameter updates, with an uncertain clean test accuracy change. A generation audit reveals that canonical option scores can follow a different token path from generated answers. With scores taken along the greedy generation path, the evidence target improves on the training set; its gains over standard GRPO remain inconsistent on validation data at matched training doses. Sample-level analyses trace how evidence scores, decision margins, and generated answers change during post-training. This empirical and measurement audit identifies gaps between optimization activity, target acquisition, and useful held-out visual behavior.

Implicit Neural Representation for Hyperspectral Video Compression

With the advent of snapshot cameras, hyperspectral video is becoming more readily available. In recent years, new applications have emerged which have led to increasingly larger datasets. However, hyperspectral video compression remains in the early stages. In this study, we explore the use of implicit neural representation as a candidate solution. We propose a novel extension of an existing RGB video compression model, achieving Bjøntegaard Delta PSNR gains of +4.99 dB and Bjøntegaard Delta rate of -88.88% compared to traditional hyperspectral image compression methods applied frame-by-frame. In addition to reconstruction quality, the effects on downstream task performance are measured in the form of object tracking success. Compared to video compressed with methods based on principal component analysis and JPEG2000 in low data regimes, our proposed method improves tracking area under the curve by up to 23.42% and distance precision by up to 35.56% on examples from the HOT2026 dataset.

Brenier Meets Adversarial Training: Optimal Transport Geometry for Robust Learning

Distributionally robust optimization (DRO) provides a principled framework for learning under distribution shift, but its practical use is hindered by the difficulty of evaluating worst-case risks for nonconvex loss functions. We study a penalized DRO formulation in which the adversary may choose any distribution but incurs a Wasserstein penalty for deviating from the empirical distribution. We show that the adversary's problem can be reformulated as an optimization problem over transport maps that push empirical samples to adversarial ones, and we prove that optimal maps are cyclically monotone. We also show that standard adversarial training---based on per-sample local optimization---violates cyclical monotonicity and wastes transport costs unless the adversary is severely restricted. We propose two remedies. First, we introduce multi-start particle ascent, which alternates parallel gradient ascent with reassignment to enforce cyclical monotonicity across samples. Second, we parameterize adversarial maps as gradients of input-convex neural networks, which guarantees cyclical monotonicity by construction. Experiments on robust regression, image classification, and robust control show that our methods consistently outperform standard adversarial training and state-of-the-art baselines, achieving improved robustness and better generalization under distribution shift.

DyMD: Preserving Interaction Dynamics through Distribution Matching Distillation in Few-Step Video World Models

Large video diffusion models offer expressive priors for embodied prediction and learning, yet their many-step sampling remains costly for interactive downstream use. Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) enables few-step video generation, but can suppress robot--object motion while preserving visual quality. Examining DMD's teacher and fake-score signals, we find that weak re-noising keeps the teacher posterior concentrated near motion-deficient rollouts, limiting motion-restoring guidance. Meanwhile, stronger-motion rollouts tend to incur larger fake-score fitting errors, which can hinder the generator's learning of interaction dynamics. We propose DyMD, a DMD framework that adapts both teacher supervision and critic fitting to the evolving student. Temporal affinity--conditioned re-noise sampling adapts the timestep distribution to each rollout's current interaction fidelity by mixing the base schedule with a teacher prior motivated by local posterior variation, thereby balancing motion recovery and appearance refinement. To better track stronger-motion rollouts, dynamics-guided fake-score tracking uses a noise-conditioned predictor to estimate noise-relative fitting difficulty from latent temporal dynamics, then upweights predicted-hard rollouts in the critic loss. Using DyMD, we distill a 14B teacher into a four-step 1.3B student with no auxiliary modules at inference. On embodied-video benchmarks, the student improves R-Bench task adherence by 9.6 percentage points and PAI-Bench-G Domain score by 5.1 points over Base DMD while maintaining comparable visual quality. As a backbone for downstream action planning, our student achieves 34% mean success across two WorldArena tasks, compared with 16% for Base DMD.

The Right Information Extraction Pipeline Depends on the Document: Accuracy-Energy Trade-offs for Small, Local Models

Whether an information extraction pipeline should process page images or parsed text depends on the document, and the answer flips across the layout spectrum. We study this trade-off under a constraint that rules out (closed) cloud services: privacy-sensitive documents processed on-premise by small (8B parameter) text-only and vision--language models, evaluated on both accuracy and energy over a design space spanning input representation, model family, and inference configuration. Benchmarking on the near-plain-text Kleister-NDA contracts and the layout-rich VRDU forms, we find that batching is the dominant energy lever, cutting energy per page by 38-85% at no cost in accuracy, while FP8 quantization saves 27-32% when requests are served one at a time but less than 1mWh per page (9-19%) once batching is applied. Preprocessing dominates what remains: neural OCR costs 17more energy per page than classical OCR and never reaches the Pareto frontier. Which representation wins flips with the type of document: vision--language models on layout-rich documents and small text-only models with a cheap parser on near-plain text, where they are both more accurate and cheaper than any vision--language configuration. Our work yields concrete guidelines for energy-efficient, privacy-compliant local information extraction.

Towards VLA-Dreamer: Refining VLA Behavior Using World Models

Vision-Language-Action models (VLAs), while showing strong potential for robot control, require massive amounts of high-quality imitation learning data. Moreover, the absence of an explicit world model casts further doubt on their control capabilities. In this concept paper, we propose a novel architecture that addresses sample efficiency in VLAs by training a predictive world model on the embedding space of the VLA's vision encoder. We hypothesize that these embeddings are action-relevant and usable for future prediction. To this end, we propose using the suggested architecture to investigate how well these embeddings predict the future based on actions, as the inability to do so would mark a key limitation of VLA architectures: the lack of a non-lossy implicit world model to simulate real-world dynamics. The proposed architecture differs from the standard world model dynamics as the loss comes from the embedding space rather than the pixel space, similar to joint embedding predictive architectures. Furthermore, the trained world model can be utilized for short-term planning tasks by sampling VLA actions given goal images. We intend to examine the richness of vision embeddings in VLAs and reduce their high data requirements through a world model that can also generate plans during inference.

Geometric Inconsistency Localization in Multi-View Image Sets

Novel view synthesis (NVS) models can produce realistic new views of the same scene from different viewpoints. However, these generated views are not always geometrically consistent with one another. Multi-view (MV) consistency has shown promise as a tool for evaluating these NVS models. Its potential for multimedia forensics, however, remains largely unexplored, particularly for localizing geometric inconsistencies across wide-baseline image pairs. To enable research in this direction, we introduce DeformView, a wide-baseline MV dataset with pixel-level annotations of geometric inconsistencies. Using DeformView, we evaluate state-of-the-art MV consistency-scoring methods and show that approaches developed for NVS evaluation transfer poorly to the forensic task of geometric inconsistency localization. To address this limitation, we propose DEFECt3R, a lightweight learning-based classifier that uses cross-view feature relationships to localize geometric inconsistencies at the pixel level. By learning from explicit supervision, including hard negatives from geometrically consistent yet deformed views, DEFECt3R improves localization performance and substantially reduces false positives compared to existing consistency-scoring methods. Ablation experiments further show that both feature representations and correspondence quality contribute to localization performance. Overall, our findings demonstrate that MV geometric consistency is a promising yet underexplored signal for multimedia forensics and establish a benchmark and baseline for geometric inconsistency localization in wide-baseline MV image pairs.

Budgeted Quotient-Residual Guidance for Frozen Pocket-Conditioned Molecular Diffusion

Pocket-conditioned molecular diffusion updates ambient atom coordinates, but many lead-optimization objectives are expressed on quotient features such as distances, contacts, and anchored substructures. We introduce budgeted quotient-residual guidance (QRG), an inference-time correction that makes these quotient objectives active without retraining the molecular generator. QRG lifts quotient covectors to metric-horizontal ambient directions and delivers them through a trust budget set by the frozen sampler's own step norm: quotient geometry chooses the direction, while sampler motion bounds the scale. We derive the horizontal lift, closed-form sampler-budget update, KL/kinetic interpretation around a frozen reverse step, equivariance conditions, and a product-budget split for budget-capped section and residual controls. Controlled quotient tasks confirm that sampler-relative delivery activates signals that raw local quotient gradients leave dormant. On frozen TargetDiff backbones, official seed-0 CBGBench ligand-generation/editing sweeps show practical quality-runtime gains: Local-QRG improves validity from 0.815 to 0.864 on fragment growing, 0.664 to 0.707 on scaffold hopping, and 0.681 to 0.712 on linker design, while PredNext-QRG improves fragment/scaffold and remains near-neutral on linker. Novelty remains 1.000 and diversity is preserved in the matched multi-seed molecular slice, giving task-dependent improvements without sampler retraining or backbone modification. Overall, QRG provides a lightweight route to quotient-aware inference for frozen molecular samplers with explicit runtime accounting.

Samples, Sources, Space: Decomposing Data Scale in Spatially Structured Representation Learning of Human Brain Microarchitecture

Scaling studies typically represent training data by a single count of samples. For hierarchically and spatially structured data, however, the same number of samples can be drawn from few or many sources and distributed differently across the underlying domain. We therefore study data scaling as an allocation problem, separating unique sample count, source diversity, and spatial coverage. We study this decomposition in microscopic whole-brain histology, where a source is an individual brain, and a sample is an image patch at a specific spatial location. Across 93 controlled pretraining runs of a contrastive model that uses spatial proximity for supervision, we vary data allocation, compute, and model capacity over 11.6 million spatially anchored image patches from 21 human brains. Performance improves with more unique samples, broader spatial coverage, additional compute, and larger model capacity. At fixed sample count, distributing samples across one to 18 subjects produces no detectable improvement, even though representations generalize substantially better to subjects encountered during pretraining. Inter-subject variation therefore strongly affects generalization, but additional subjects provide no benefit when a fixed sample budget is distributed across more sources. These results establish sample count, source diversity, and spatial coverage as distinct axes of data scaling in spatially structured representation learning.
