  2. Words Speak Louder Than Code: Investigating Cognitive Heuristics in LLM-Based Code Vulnerability Detection
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper presents the first systematic exploration of cognitive heuristics in LLM-driven code vulnerability detection. The authors introduce a controlled framework that holds the code fixed and varies the surrounding context to trigger three heuristics: halo effect (author attribution), framing effect (task objectives and consequences), and anchoring effect (prior analysis results). Evaluating eight LLMs across three programming languages, they find all models are susceptible. Cross-model average susceptibility is highest for framing at 33.2%, followed by anchoring at 23.5% and halo at 18.4%. Code-level analysis reveals that vulnerabilities requiring semantic reasoning are more susceptible than those identifiable via pattern matching. Models often change their verdict from safe to vulnerable without correctly identifying the vulnerability. A proof-of-concept black-box cognitive attack can suppress up to 97% of detected vulnerabilities. The findings indicate cognitive susceptibility is a consistent and exploitable property of LLM-based vulnerability detection.

  3. McMg: A Learned Phase-Space Multi-channel Multigrid Preconditioner for Helmholtz Equation
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    Solving heterogeneous Helmholtz equations at high wavenumbers remains challenging due to indefinite operators and phase accuracy degradation. This paper proposes McMg, a learned phase-space multigrid preconditioner. Its key idea is to coarsen physical space while retaining unresolved local wave information in the channel dimension: each coarse node carries a learned packet of amplitude, phase, direction, and scattering coefficients. The architecture combines linear multi-channel transfer operators with locally adaptive stencils, neural PDE operators, and medium-dependent smoothers. The V-cycle is linear in the residual. Experiments show McMg substantially reduces iterations and wall-clock time compared to strong classical baselines and existing neural preconditioners, with cross-scale generalization ability.

  4. SWE-INTERACT: Reimagining SWE Benchmarks as User-Driven Long-Horizon Coding Sessions
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    SWE-Interact is a new testbed for evaluating coding agents on multi-turn, interactive, user-driven software engineering tasks. Unlike existing benchmarks, it starts with vague or incomplete instructions via a carefully designed user simulator, progressively reveals requirements, inspects the workspace, and provides targeted feedback until the full task goal is handed off. Experiments show that strong performance on single-turn tasks does not reliably transfer to multi-turn user-driven workflows: the best models solve ~50% of single-turn baselines but only 25% of corresponding SWE-Interact tasks. Top models like Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5 perform well under vague instructions but still suffer from over-agentic coding, forgetting requirements, and technical mistakes. The benchmark measures an orthogonal real-world capability: interactive goal discovery and iterative refinement with a user in the loop.

  5. A Multi-task Mixture of Experts Framework for Malware Classification, Packing Detection, and Family Attribution
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper proposes a unified multi-task malware analysis framework based on Mixture of Experts (MoE) architectures, capable of simultaneously performing malware family classification, packed/unpacked detection, and malware/benign identification. It supports two input representations: high-dimensional EMBER features and raw 1D byte arrays. The Multi-Gate MoE model achieves a combined detection rate of 0.9744 with only 2.56% failure rate, and shows robust performance under mutation-induced distribution shifts.

  6. Forensic Trajectory Signatures for Agent Memory Poisoning Detection
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper discovers a behavioral invariant in LLM agents under persistent memory poisoning: successful attacks require calling memory_recall_fact before email_send_email, a transition rarely seen in non-exfiltrating sessions. A simple rule based on this invariant achieves AUC=0.9563. A Random Forest classifier over 19 trajectory features refines it to AUC=0.9904. Cross-model hold-out on 9 models (7B-120B) confirms AUC=1.000 on 6/9 splits, and generalizes to frontier models (GPT-4.1, GPT-4o) without retraining. A prefix-only variant achieves AUC=0.934, enabling real-time blocking. Prompt injection attacks yield distinct trajectories (score=0.541), enabling differentiation of attack types from tool-call logs alone.

  7. Linguistic Firewall: Geometry as Defense in Multi-Agent Systems Routing
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper introduces ANTAP (Automatic Non-Textual Agent Picker), an evaluation-driven routing architecture that replaces indirect proxies (e.g., textual self-descriptions or static embeddings) with active capability testing to assess agents' true competencies in multi-agent systems. ANTAP distills performance into fixed behavioral operators in a shared semantic space and routes via purely non-textual algebraic projection at inference, establishing a 'linguistic firewall' that renders metadata-based attacks inexpressible. Experiments show near-zero ASR against description-based injection attacks, outperforming description-based baseline by 67.3%+, and a 20% reduction in ASR against adaptive embedding attacks.

  1. Muon Learns Balanced Solutions in Matrix Factorization without Slow Saddle-to-Saddle Dynamics
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper investigates parameter trajectories under the Muon optimizer in matrix factorization, identifying three key dynamical differences from gradient descent: avoiding slow saddle-to-saddle dynamics from small initialization, learning all top modes at the same rate; stability beyond local sharpness thresholds enabling exponential annealing; and a different conserved quantity that still leads to balanced solutions. It derives alignment rates for spontaneous early weight alignment and constructs a two-step learning rate schedule achieving near-perfect alignment.

  2. Staged Hybridisation for Visual Quantum Reinforcement Learning via Knowledge Distillation
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This study proposes a staged knowledge distillation strategy to address the challenges of visual quantum reinforcement learning (QRL). A classical visual teacher is first trained, its encoder frozen as a feature interface, and the teacher's policy behavior is distilled into compact downstream heads (classical or VQC-based). Experiments on CartPole Pixels and Acrobot Pixels show that shallow VQC heads can acquire non-trivial visual control behavior, angle-encoded VQC heads achieve near-teacher performance, while amplitude-encoded heads are extremely compact but more fragile. This approach reframes visual QRL as a compact-head learning problem, providing a practical route for training small quantum-compatible policies outside the standard end-to-end loop.

  3. VLK: Learning Humanoid Loco-Manipulation from Synthetic Interactions in Reconstructed Scenes
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    Perception-based humanoid loco-manipulation requires connecting egocentric observations and task instructions to whole-body motion. Existing data sources cannot provide the complete vision-language-kinematics tuple at scale. VLK reconstructs indoor scenes via 3D Gaussian Splatting, synthesizes navigation and object-interaction trajectories, generating 48,000 paired trajectories without human intervention. The trained policy successfully performs navigation and object transport on a physical Unitree G1 robot, demonstrating that synthetic interactions in reconstructed scenes provide effective supervision for sim-to-real perception-based humanoid loco-manipulation.

  4. GPU Parallelization Strategies for Forward and Backward Propagation in Shallow Neural Networks: A CUDA-Based Comparative Study
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper presents a comparative study of three CUDA optimization strategies for forward and backward propagation in shallow neural networks: tiled shared memory with +1-column padding to eliminate bank conflicts, pre-transposed weight matrices for coalesced global memory access, and a fused MatMul+ReLU kernel to reduce intermediate global memory round-trips. Experiments on an NVIDIA Tesla T4 show that the fully optimized implementation achieves a 1.41x speedup over the baseline CUDA version on the large dataset (25,600 samples), reducing execution time from 21.0s to 14.8s. Results are compared against a sequential CPU baseline and an OpenMP parallel implementation, demonstrating the effectiveness of memory-access optimization in GPU-accelerated deep learning primitives.

  1. Wireless Backdoor Attack and Defense for Semantic Communications over Multiple Access Channel
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper studies new security vulnerabilities in multi-user shared-access wireless networks for semantic communications. For a scenario where two transmitters communicate with a common receiver over a multiple access channel, a selective over-the-air backdoor attack is proposed: the adversary injects a low-power trigger waveform into the shared received signal during training, and by transmitting the trigger again during testing, selectively manipulates the semantic inference of one transmitter while minimally affecting the other. A trigger-aware defense mechanism is also developed to preserve correct semantic labels under trigger-contaminated observations. Experiments demonstrate both the effectiveness of the attack and the feasibility of the defense.

  2. Doubly Robust Adaptive Conformal Inference for Causal Effects Under Temporal Dependence
    T2arXiv AI/CL/LG(论文)

    This paper proposes Doubly Robust Adaptive Conformal Inference (DR-ACI), a method for constructing prediction intervals for doubly robust pseudo-outcomes under temporal dependence. It combines the strengths of doubly robust estimation and adaptive conformal inference to effectively handle structured dependencies in time series, providing interval estimates for causal effects with finite-sample coverage guarantees. Experiments validate the robustness and effectiveness of the method across various temporal dependence scenarios.
