SVG-Score: Human-Aligned Evaluation of Text-to-SVG Generation

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) generation is attracting increasing attention as generative models improve in expressiveness and controllability. Progress, however, is held back by the lack of domain-specific evaluation protocols: current practice relies on metrics designed for natural images, most notably CLIPScore, which was never trained on vector graphics and aligns only partially with human judgment. We introduce , a human-aligned evaluation framework for text-to-SVG generation. Through controlled caption and image perturbations, we first show that CLIP-based scores barely react to the errors SVG generators actually make, such as wrong colors, counts, and spatial relations, and that off-the-shelf Vision-Language Model (VLM) judges, while more sensitive, respond unevenly across error types and SVG styles. We then introduce a human-annotated dataset for Semantic Alignment, measuring how faithfully a generated SVG reflects its caption. Building on it, we develop two complementary evaluators: CLIP scorers adapted to vector graphics and then aligned to human preferences, for fast large-scale evaluation, and a VLM judge trained with supervised fine-tuning and reward-shaped reinforcement learning, for more expressive and interpretable assessment. Using both, we benchmark major open-source, commercial, and optimization-based SVG generators on an independent caption set.

IndicSafeEval: Safety Robustness of Large Language Models under Multilingual Persuasive Jailbreak Attacks

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in multilingual settings, yet their safety is still evaluated primarily in English. This limits our understanding of how alignment failures manifest in low-resource and culturally diverse languages. We introduce IndicSafeEval, a persuasion-based jailbreak evaluation framework for Indian languages. Our benchmark combines ten safety critical content categories with six human-like persuasive strategies across four different Indian languages, such as Hindi, Bengali, Marathi and Punjabi, resulting in 7,200 adversarial prompts. We conduct a systematic black-box evaluation of several open-source LLMs to examine how their safety behaviour varies across languages, persuasion strategies, and risk categories. Our analysis shows that the model does not behave equally safely across all languages and prompt styles. Instead, safety performance depends strongly on both the languages used and the way a request is phrased using persuasive cues. We further observe that different risk categories exhibit different levels of vulnerability, with some types of harmful content being significantly more susceptible to persuasion-based jailbreaks than others. These findings reveal important limitations of current safety evaluations, which are largely English-centric, and underscore the need for multilingual and persuasion-aware benchmarking frameworks to more accurately assess real-world LLM safety. Our implementation is available at https://github.com/MonSaikat/IndicSafeEval. Warning: this paper contains example data that may be offensive or harmful.

Rethinking World Models for Safety-Critical Embodied Systems

World models have progressed from compact latent dynamics to generative, controllable, and interactive simulators of embodied environments. However, high predictive likelihood and visual fidelity do not necessarily ensure that a model preserves the evidence required for safe decision-making. This perspective identifies three structural mismatches in current world modeling: likelihood versus risk, prediction versus intervention, and finite-horizon prediction versus accumulated consequences. We propose the Risk-Informed World Model (RIWM) as a decision-centric research direction for safety-critical embodied systems. RIWM organizes world modeling around consequences, intervention, epistemic uncertainty, and recoverability, and integrates four interdependent capabilities: decision-relevant representation, counterfactual reasoning, safety-critical episodic memory, and runtime safety assurance. It distinguishes physical, social, and operational consequences while using epistemic uncertainty to qualify the evidence supporting action. We further discuss open challenges in identifying consequential futures, validating counterfactual reasoning, maintaining revisable safety memories, translating learned consequences into executable constraints, and determining when evidence is sufficient to act. This perspective argues that future world models should move beyond predicting likely futures toward identifying which futures matter, revising judgments through experience, and recognizing when to act, revise, sense, defer, or abstain.

Towards Trustworthy Autonomous Robots: An Explainable AI-Based Decision Framework

Autonomous robots powered by deep learning face a fundamental auditability challenge: when incidents occur, investigators cannot reconstruct why the system made specific decisions. This paper presents TRACE (Transparent Reasoning Architecture for Credible Execution), a decision framework that ensures every autonomous action can be traced back to sensor evidence through documented causal chains. The framework organizes decision-making into four auditable layers: Semantic Perception for evidence-grounded entity recognition, Belief Reasoning for probabilistic state estimation with causal graphs, Action Synthesis for constraint-aware planning with counterfactual documentation, and Execution Verification for compliance monitoring. TRACE is model-agnostic yet designed to integrate learning-based perception modules (CNNs, transformers) while preserving decision-level auditability. We evaluate the framework using three objective metrics: Evidence Traceability (sensor-to-decision linkage), Decision Reconstructability (post-hoc analysis capability), and Temporal Continuity (audit trail completeness). Experimental evaluation on warehouse robot navigation demonstrates that TRACE achieves 98.6% evidence traceability, 99.0% temporal continuity, and 98.1% decision reconstructability across 500 simulated decision cycles. Post-hoc methods like LIME provide feature attributions but lack the artifact structure needed for decision-level reconstruction. The framework addresses EU AI Act requirements for high-risk system transparency and contributes to Explainable AI for safety-critical autonomous systems.

The Implications of Linguistic Illegibility for LLM Security

LLMs are trained to generate natural language. However, various strands of evidence indicate that an LLM's externalized linguistic outputs and mechanistically-extracted linguistic features can be an unreliable lens for understanding internal model computation. We introduce the term ``linguistic illegibility'' to broadly refer to scenarios in which an LLM's externalized or mechanistically-probed language artifacts fail to represent how the model actually thinks. We argue that the specter of linguistic illegibility is unavoidable for LLMs whose internal computations are not directly expressed via language, but rather math over activation spaces (with lossy translations between activation spaces and natural language happening at the bookends). If linguistic illegibility is always possible, then security mechanisms that rely on a model's linguistic self-reporting (e.g., chain-of-thought monitoring, constitutional self-critique, activation probing for linguistically-defined feature vectors) can never be completely sound; the model sandbox will always need isolation techniques whose guarantees do not depend on reading a model's linguistic state at all. We argue that observing a model's outputs using taint tracking is a promising approach for an effective sandbox: regardless of how a model linguistically self-reports, a taint tracking policy can define, a priori, various pieces of system state that should never be influenced by model-produced data. We also discuss several additional sandboxing mechanisms (e.g., robust virtualization, third-party auditing of sandboxing configurations) which collectively provide a critical floor beneath linguistic monitoring, and would have mitigated recent sandbox exploits by frontier models.

UE5M3 FP4 Block Scaling for Stable Language Model Pretraining

Stable 4-bit floating-point (FP4) pretraining is difficult because the E2M1 payload represents only a narrow range of magnitudes. NVIDIA's Transformer Engine {} recipe addresses this with current-tensor scaling, a randomized Hadamard transform (RHT), and bfloat16 (BF16) final layers, adding work outside the FP4 matrix multiplications. We instead pair E2M1 payloads with unsigned E5M3 ({}) block scales. Their wider range permits periodic tensor scaling, while our recipe applies selective stochastic rounding to backward gradients, omits RHT, and uses FP4 in all eligible internal linears. We pretrain a Nemotron-H 8B model for nearly 190 billion tokens. Compared with Transformer Engine {}, the proposed block-16 recipe finishes with lower final-window training loss and, under their respective quantized-inference policies, lower validation loss measured as held-out negative log-likelihood. Its quantized-inference downstream point estimates are also higher on all three reported aggregates. A native {} execution ablation that jointly removes RHT and the BF16 final-block exemption increases measured model-body token throughput by 21.2\%. These results demonstrate end-to-end software-emulated {} pretraining with a simpler recipe and motivate native support for {} block scaling.

Cliff: Learning Process Rewards from the First Mistake

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for large language model (LLM) post-training, but its reliance on coarse outcome rewards leads to limited guidance on intermediate reasoning processes. Existing approaches such as process reward modeling and on-policy distillation introduce additional constraints, such as reliance on a specialized reward model or assuming identical reasoning patterns between teacher and student. Nevertheless, we observe that once a reasoning process first goes wrong, evaluating the subsequent reasoning provides limited additional information, as it is already conditioned on an invalid prefix. Therefore, we propose Cliff, a reward shaping strategy that utilizes an off-the-shelf LLM as a teacher to identify the first mistake in each rollout. As a result, the rollout is naturally decomposed into two parts: a correct prefix and an incorrect suffix. Cliff then converts this signal into token-level advantages, assigning positive advantages for the correct prefix and negative feedback afterward. Experiments across 12 different scenarios demonstrate that Cliff consistently improves reasoning performance, outperforming on-policy distillation by 15% and standard GRPO by 7%, even with teachers of modest capability. Furthermore, we analyse the role of ``ground truth'' in Cliff and investigate its training dynamics. These results establish Cliff as a simple, general and effective approach for improving RLVR with richer, fine-grained supervision.

Large Language Models (LLMs) for Telecom Root Cause Analysis (RCA): A Structured Reasoning Framework for Evidence-Grounded Diagnosis

Root cause analysis (RCA) is a critical task in telecom network operations, but diagnosing performance degradations in modern 5G and emerging 6G networks remains challenging due to complex cross-layer dependencies. While large language models (LLMs) offer promising capabilities for reasoning and knowledge integration, directly applying vanilla LLMs to telecom RCA often leads to hallucination, unstable reasoning, and poor alignment with structured network evidence. This work first reviews the evolution of telecom RCA from rule-based and machine learning (ML) approaches to emerging LLM-enabled techniques, and provides an overview of recent paradigms, including structured reasoning, retrieval-augmented knowledge grounding, agentic orchestration, and verifiable reasoning. Building upon these insights, we propose a structured reasoning framework for LLM-enabled telecom RCA that aligns diagnostic reasoning with telecom-specific evidence and domain knowledge. The proposed approach first organizes heterogeneous network telemetry into canonical contexts, and then enforces decision-path reasoning during diagnosis, and finally generates evidence-grounded explanations for reliable fault identification. Experimental results on two 5G RCA datasets, TeleLogs and TelecomTS, demonstrate that the proposed framework consistently improves diagnostic accuracy and decision consistency compared with baseline techniques. These cross-dataset results highlight the importance of structured reasoning design for practical LLM-based RCA systems in next-generation telecom networks.
