Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has emerged as a leading technique for efficiently fine-tuning text-to-image diffusion models, and its widespread adoption on open-source platforms has fostered a vibrant culture of model sharing and customization. However, the same modular and plug-and-play flexibility that makes LoRA appealing also introduces a broader attack sur-face. To highlight this risk, we propose Masquerade-LoRA (MasqLoRA), the first backdoor attack that leverages the LoRA mechanism to stealthily inject malicious behavior into text-to-image diffusion models. MasqLoRA operates by freezing the base model parameters and updating only the low-rank adapter weights using a small number of "trigger word-target image" pairs. This enables the attacker to train a standalone backdoor LoRA module that embeds a hidden cross-modal mapping: when the module is loaded and a specific textual trigger is provided, the model produces a predefined visual output; other-wise, it behaves indistinguishably from the clean model, ensuring the stealthiness of the attack. Experimental results demonstrate that MasqLoRA can be trained with minimal resource overhead and achieves a high attack success rate of 99.8%. MasqLoRA reveals a severe and unique threat in the AI supply chain, underscoring the urgent need for dedicated defense mechanisms for the LoRA-centric sharing ecosystem.

Fine-tuning has become the default way to adapt powerful foundation models, but this also enables low-cost repurposing for harmful objectives. Existing immunization methods try to optimize local geometry or simulate short attacker horizons, and penalize observed loss drops. However, in practice, downstream tuners run thousands of updates and overcome these short-horizon defenses.In this paper, we propose CLAMP (Contractive Long-horizon Attacker Mitigation via Progress-bounding), an immunization method that traps harmful fine-tuning by shaping the attacker's optimization dynamics rather than only the initial landscape. Our key idea is to make harmful training locally contractive, making each update smaller than the last. This yields a closed-form bound on the attacker's training beyond the attacker's simulated training steps. We also introduce a Hessian-free directional curvature penalty, to create adversarial landscapes along harmful descent directions. Our bi-level objective minimizes the attacker's predicted improvement from train step zero to infinity. Experiments show our method withstands long-horizon fine-tuning across classification, generative, and autoregressive settings, substantially reduces harmful task adaptation, while preserving benign utility and fine-tuneability.

Efficient adaptation between Egocentric (Ego) and Exocentric (Exo) views is crucial for applications such as human-robot cooperation. However, the success of most existing Ego-Exo adaptation methods relies heavily on target-view data for training, thereby increasing computational and data collection costs. In this paper, we make the first exploration of a Test-time Ego-Exo Adaptation for Action Anticipation (TE^ 2 A^ 3 ) task, which aims to adjust the source-view-trained model online during test time to anticipate target-view actions. It is challenging for existing Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) methods to address this task due to the multi-action candidates and significant temporal-spatial inter-view gap. Hence, we propose a novel Dual-Clue enhanced Prototype Growing Network (DCPGN), which accumulates multi-label knowledge and integrates cross-modality clues for effective test-time Ego-Exo adaptation and action anticipation. Specifically, we propose a Multi-Label Prototype Growing Module (ML-PGM) to balance multiple positive classes via multi-label assignment and confidence-based reweighting for class-wise memory banks, which are updated by an entropy priority queue strategy. Then, the Dual-Clue Consistency Module (DCCM) introduces a lightweight narrator to generate textual clues indicating action progressions, which complement the visual clues containing various objects. Moreover, we constrain the inferred textual and visual logits to construct dual-clue consistency for temporally and spatially bridging Ego and Exo views. Extensive experiments on the newly proposed EgoMe-anti and the existing EgoExoLearn benchmarks show the effectiveness of our method, which outperforms related state-of-the-art methods by a large margin.

With the emergence of 3D foundation models, there is growing interest in fine-tuning them for downstream tasks, where LoRA is the dominant fine-tuning paradigm. As 3D datasets exhibit distinct variations in texture, geometry, camera motion, and lighting, there are interesting fundamental questions: 1) Are there LoRA subspaces associated with each type of variation? 2) Are these subspaces disentangled (i.e., orthogonal to each other)? 3) How do we compute them effectively? This paper provides answers to all these questions. We introduce a robust approach that generates synthetic datasets with controlled variations, fine-tunes a LoRA adapter on each dataset, and extracts a LoRA subspace associated with each type of variation. We show that these subspaces are approximately disentangled. Integrating them leads to a reduced LoRA subspace that enables efficient LoRA fine-tuning with improved prediction accuracy for downstream tasks. In particular, we show that such a reduced LoRA subspace, despite being derived entirely from synthetic data, generalizes to real datasets. An ablation study validates the effectiveness of the choices in our approach.

Multi-task learning (MTL) aims to enable a single model to solve multiple tasks efficiently; however, current parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods remain largely limited to single-task adaptation. We introduce Free Sinewich, a parameter-efficient multi-task learning framework that enables near-zero-cost weight modulation via frequency switching (Free). Specifically, a Sine-AWB (Sinewich) layer combines low-rank factors and convolutional priors into a single kernel, which is then modulated elementwise by a sinusoidal transformation to produce task-specialized weights. A lightweight Clock Net is introduced to produce bounded frequencies that stabilize this modulation during training. Theoretically, sine modulation enhances the rank of low-rank adapters, while frequency separation decorrelates the weights of different tasks. On dense prediction benchmarks, Free Sinewich achieves state-of-the-art performance-efficiency trade-offs (e.g., up to +5.39% improvement over single-task fine-tuning with only 6.53M trainable parameters), offering a compact and scalable paradigm based on frequency-based parameter sharing.

Diffusion models (DMs) produce high-quality images, yet their sampling remains costly when adapted to new domains. Distilled DMs are faster but typically remain confined within their teacher's domain. Thus, fast and high-quality generation for novel domains relies on two-stage pipelines: Adapt-then-Distill or Distill-then-Adapt. However, both add design complexity and often degrade quality or diversity. We introduce Uni-DAD, a single-stage pipeline that unifies DM distillation and adaptation. It couples two training signals: (i) a dual-domain distribution-matching distillation (DMD) objective that guides the student toward the distributions of the source teacher and a target teacher, and (ii) a multi-head generative adversarial network (GAN) loss that encourages target realism across multiple feature scales. The source domain distillation preserves diverse source knowledge, while the multi-head GAN stabilizes training and reduces overfitting, especially in few-shot regimes. The inclusion of a target teacher facilitates adaptation to more structurally distant domains. We evaluate Uni-DAD on two comprehensive benchmarks for few-shot image generation (FSIG) and subject-driven personalization (SDP) using diffusion backbones. It delivers better or comparable quality to state-of-the-art (SoTA) adaptation methods even with less than 4 sampling steps, and often surpasses two-stage pipelines in quality and diversity.

We introduce SpiderCam, an FPGA-based snapshot depth-from-defocus camera which produces 480x400 sparse depth maps in real-time at 32.5 FPS over a working range of 52 cm while consuming 611 mW of power in total. SpiderCam comprises a custom camera which simultaneously captures two differently focused images of the same scene, processed with a SystemVerilog implementation of depth from differential defocus (DfDD) on a low-power FPGA. To achieve state-of-the-art power consumption, we present algorithmic improvements to DfDD that overcome challenges caused by low-power sensors, and design a memory-local implementation for streaming depth computation on a device that is too small to store even a single image pair. We report the first sub-Watt total power measurement for passive FPGA-based 3D cameras in the literature.

Human action recognition (HAR) in low-light environments remains challenging due to degraded visibility, illumination variance, and loss of appearance cues. We introduce DarkAct, a large-scale and high-quality RGB-thermal video dataset purpose-built for multimodal action recognition under low illumination. DarkAct contains 12,778 paired RGB-thermal videos covering 27 human actions across diverse viewpoints and scenes, offering a novel and comprehensive benchmark for understanding human actions in dark environments. We conduct extensive experiments on DarkAct, systematically benchmarking unimodal HAR models, multimodal fusion frameworks, and vision-language foundation models. Their limited performance on DarkAct underscores the urgent need for more robust perception systems under adverse illumination. To address this, we propose DarkAct-Net, an RGB-thermal fusion framework that enhances human-centric representation and achieves adaptive cross-modal fusion, enabling robust and fine-grained action recognition across diverse lighting conditions. Dataset and code are available at https://github.com/darkact-creator/DarkAct.git.

Parameter Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) is a key technique for adapting a large pretrained model to downstream tasks by fine-tuning only a small number of parameters. Recent methods based on Fourier transforms have further reduced the fine-tuned parameters scale by only fine-tuning a few spectral coefficients. Its basic assumption is that the weight change \Delta W is a spatial-domain matrix with a sparse spectrum. However, in this paper, we observe that the spectrum of weight change is not sparse, but instead distributed like power-uniform. This fact implies that fine-tuning only a few spectral coefficients is insufficient to accurately model the weight change \Delta W with uniform spectrum.To address this issue, we propose to seek an invertible transformation that can transform a latent spatial-domain matrix with sparse spectrum to the weight change, and then perform PEFT on such sparse spectrum domain with few spectral coefficients, called \text S ^2\text FT . To seek such transformation, we first pre-estimate a coarse weight change as a prior. Then, inspired by that sparse spectrum often correspond to locally smooth spatial structures, we regard this transformation as a row and column rearrangement operation on the pre-estimated weight change that smooth spatial structures while keep the structure information of neurons.Finally, we propose to solve the rearrangement search problem in a simple nearest neighbor search manner, thereby obtaining the invertible transformation. Extensive results show our \text S ^2\text FT achieves superior performance by only using 0.08% training parameters.

Consumer LiDARs in mobile devices and robots typically output a single depth value per pixel. Yet internally, they record full time-resolved histograms containing direct and multi-bounce light returns; these multi-bounce returns encode rich non-line-of-sight (NLOS) cues that can enable perception of hidden objects in a scene. However, severe hardware limitations of consumer LiDARs make NLOS reconstruction with conventional methods difficult. In this work, we motivate a complementary direction: enabling NLOS perception with low-cost LiDARs through data-driven inference. We present DENALI, the first large-scale real-world dataset of space-time histograms from low-cost LiDARs capturing hidden objects. We capture time-resolved LiDAR histograms for 72,000 hidden-object scenes across diverse object shapes, positions, lighting conditions, and spatial resolutions. Using our dataset, we show that consumer LiDARs can enable accurate, data-driven NLOS perception. We further identify key scene and modeling factors that limit performance, as well as simulation-fidelity gaps that hinder current sim-to-real transfer, motivating future work toward scalable NLOS vision with consumer LiDARs.

Source Free Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (SFUDA) is critical for deploying deep learning models across diverse clinical settings. However, existing methods are typically designed for low-gap, specific domain shifts and cannot generalize into a unified, multi-modalities, and multi-target framework, which presents a major barrier to real-world application. To overcome this issue, we introduce Tell2Adapt, a novel SFUDA framework that harnesses the vast, generalizable knowledge of the Vision Foundation Model (VFM). Our approach ensures high-fidelity VFM prompts through Context-Aware Prompts Regularization (CAPR), which robustly translates varied text prompts into canonical instructions. This enables the generation of high-quality pseudo-labels for efficiently adapting the lightweight student model to target domain. To guarantee clinical reliability, the framework incorporates Visual Plausibility Refinement (VPR), which leverages the VFM's anatomical knowledge to re-ground the adapted model's predictions in target image's low-level visual features, effectively removing noise and false positives. We conduct one of the most extensive SFUDA evaluations to date, validating our framework across 10 domain adaptation directions and 22 anatomical targets, including brain, cardiac, polyp, and abdominal targets. Our results demonstrate that Tell2Adapt consistently outperforms existing approaches, achieving SOTA for a unified SFUDA framework in medical image segmentation. Code are avaliable at GitHub.

Federated Unlearning (FUL) aims to remove specific participants' data contributions from a trained Federated Learning model, thereby ensuring data privacy and compliance with regulatory requirements. Despite its potential, progress in FUL has been limited due to several challenges, including the cross-client knowledge inaccessibility and high computational and communication costs. To overcome these challenges, we propose Federated On-server Unlearning (FOUL), a novel framework that comprises two key stages. The learning-to-unlearn stage serves as a preparatory learning phase, during which the model identifies and encodes the key features associated with the forget clients. This stage is communication-efficient and establishes the basis for the subsequent unlearning process. Subsequently, on-server knowledge aggregation phase aims to perform the unlearning process at the server without requiring access to client data, thereby preserving both efficiency and privacy. We introduce a new data setting for FUL, which enables a more transparent and rigorous evaluation of unlearning. To highlight the effectiveness of our approach, we propose a novel evaluation metric termed time-to-forget, which measures how quickly the model achieves optimal unlearning performance. Extensive experiments conducted on three datasets under various unlearning scenarios demonstrate that FOUL outperforms the Retraining in FUL. Moreover, FOUL achieves competitive or superior results with significantly reduced time-to-forget, while maintaining low communication and computation costs.

Recent text-to-video (T2V) models have demonstrated strong capabilities in producing high-quality, dynamic videos. To improve the visual controllability, recent works have considered fine-tuning pre-trained T2V models to support image-to-video (I2V) generation. However, such adaptation frequently suppresses motion dynamics of generated outputs, resulting in more static videos compared to their T2V counterparts. In this work, we analyze this phenomenon and identify that it stems from the premature exposure to high-frequency details in the input image, which biases the sampling process toward a shortcut trajectory that overfits to the static appearance of the reference image. To address this, we propose adaptive low-pass guidance (ALG), a simple training-free fix to the I2V model sampling procedure to generate more dynamic videos without compromising per-frame image quality. Specifically, ALG adaptively modulates the frequency content of the conditioning image by applying a low-pass filter at the early stage of denoising. Extensive experiments show ALG significantly improves the temporal dynamics of generated videos, while preserving or even improving image fidelity and text alignment. For instance, on the VBench test suite, ALG achieves a 33% average improvement across models in dynamic degree while maintaining the original video quality.

Estimating camera geometry typically involves solving minimal problems formulated as systems of multivariate polynomial equations, which often pose computational challenges when using existing Grobner-basis or resultant-based methods due to matrix inversion needed in the online solver. Here we propose a sampling-based, matrix inversion-free method that constructs the solvers using sparse hidden-variable resultants. The determinant polynomial in the hidden variable is efficiently reconstructed via inverse fast Fourier transform interpolation from sampled evaluations, avoiding symbolic expansion. Solving this polynomial yields the hidden variable, and the remaining unknowns are recovered by identifying rank-1 deficient submatrices and applying Cramer's rule. A greatest common divisor-based criterion ensures robust submatrix identification under noise. Experiments on diverse minimal problems demonstrate that the proposed solver achieves strong numerical stability and competitive runtime, particularly for small-scale problems, providing a practical alternative to traditional Grobner-basis and resultant-based solvers.

The utilization of temporal information has always been an open topic in the tracking community. However, existing trackers tend to employ more and more inputs or parameters for temporal learning, hindering their deployment in resource-constrained unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). More importantly, this raises ambiguity whether the performance gains come from the temporal learning itself, or come from the increased inputs and parameters. In this study, we advocate designing temporal learning components from a more balanced perspective that jointly considers performance gains and computational costs. To achieve this goal, we introduce a new evaluation metric, i.e., precision per FLOP (PPF). The PPF is introduced to quantify the tracking precision gains achieved by temporal learning components per unit of FLOP, thus enabling fair and efficiency-aware comparisons among these components and driving them toward more efficient designs. Based on this metric, we propose a low-cost yet effective temporal learning (LETL) approach to model contextual relationships. This approach continuously propagates and merges representative appearance tokens in video streams, allowing the tracker to efficiently capture the changing patterns of targets with relatively low costs. We integrate the LETL approach into existing one-stream frameworks, thereby building a simple yet effective tracker, namely LETrack, for robust UAV tracking. Extensive experimental demonstrate the superiority of our LETrack, and show that the proposed LETL approach achieves higher PPF scores. The Code is available at https://github.com/GXNU-ZhongLab/LETrack.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are undergoing rapid progress and represent the frontier of AI development. However, their training and inference efficiency have emerged as a core bottleneck in making MLLMs more accessible and scalable. To address the challenges, we present MiniCPM-V 4.5, an 8B parameter model designed for high efficiency and strong performance. We introduce three core improvements in model architecture, data strategy and training method: a unified 3D-Resampler model architecture for highly compact encoding over images and videos, a unified learning paradigm for document knowledge and text recognition without heavy data engineering, and a hybrid reinforcement learning strategy for proficiency in both short and long reasoning modes. Comprehensive experimental results in OpenCompass evaluation show that MiniCPM-V 4.5 surpasses widely used proprietary models such as GPT-4o-latest, and significantly larger open-source models such as Qwen2.5-VL 72B. Notably, the strong performance is achieved with remarkable efficiency. For example, on the widely adopted VideoMME benchmark, MiniCPM-V 4.5 surpasses Qwen2.5-VL 7B by +2.8, using just 46.7% GPU memory and 8.7% inference time.

The integration of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) into autonomous driving promises to solve long-tail scenarios, but this paradigm faces the critical and unaddressed challenge of catastrophic forgetting. The very fine-tuning process used to adapt these models to driving-specific data simultaneously erodes their invaluable pre-trained world knowledge, creating a self-defeating paradox that undermines the core reason for their use. This paper provides the first systematic investigation into this phenomenon. We introduce a new large-scale dataset of 180K scenes, which enables the first-ever benchmark specifically designed to quantify catastrophic forgetting in autonomous driving. Our analysis reveals that existing methods suffer from significant knowledge degradation. To address this, we propose the Drive Expert Adapter (DEA), a novel framework that circumvents this trade-off by shifting adaptation from the weight space to the prompt space. DEA dynamically routes inference through different knowledge experts based on scene-specific cues, enhancing driving-task performance without corrupting the model's foundational parameters. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach not only achieves state-of-the-art results on driving tasks but also effectively mitigates catastrophic forgetting, preserving the essential generalization capabilities that make VLMs a transformative force for autonomous systems. Dataset and code will be released.

Deep unfolding networks (DUNs) have achieved remarkable success and become the mainstream paradigm for spectral compressive imaging (SCI) reconstruction. Existing DUNs are derived from full-HSI imaging models, where each stage operates directly on the high-dimensional HSI, refining the entire data cube based on the single 2D coded measurement. However, this paradigm leads to computational redundancy and suffers from the ill-posed nature of mapping 2D residuals back to 3D space of HSI. In this paper, we propose two novel imaging models corresponding to the spectral basis and subspace image by explicitly integrating low-rank (LR) decomposition with the sensing model. Compared to recovering the full HSI, estimating these compact low-dimensional components significantly mitigates the ill-posedness. Building upon these novel models, we develop the Low-Rank Deep Unfolding Network (LRDUN), which jointly solves the two subproblems within an unfolded proximal gradient descent (PGD) framework. Furthermore, we introduce a Generalized Feature Unfolding Mechanism (GFUM) that decouples the physical rank in the data-fidelity term from the feature dimensionality in the prior module, enhancing the representational capacity and flexibility of the network. Extensive experiments on simulated and real datasets demonstrate that the proposed LRDUN achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) reconstruction quality with significantly reduced computational cost. Code is available at https://github.com/huang-he99/LRDUN.

Adapting large pre-trained models to unseen tasks under tight data and compute budgets remains challenging. Meta-learning approaches explicitly learn good initializations, but they require an additional meta-training phase over many tasks, incur high training cost, and can be unstable. At the same time, the number of task-specific pre-trained models continues to grow, yet the question of how to transfer them to new tasks with minimal additional training remains relatively underexplored. We propose BOLT (Basis-Oriented Low-rank Transfer), a framework that reuses existing fine-tuned models not by merging weights, but instead by extracting an orthogonal, task-informed spectral basis and adapting within that subspace.In the offline phase, BOLT collects dominant singular directions from multiple task vectors and orthogonalizes them per layer to form reusable bases. In the online phase, we freeze these bases and train only a small set of diagonal coefficients per layer for the new task, yielding a rank-controlled update with very few trainable parameters. This design provides (i) a strong, training-free initialization for unseen tasks, obtained by pooling source-task coefficients--along with a lightweight rescaling step--while leveraging the shared orthogonal bases, and (ii) a parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) path that, in our experiments, achieves robust performance compared to common PEFT baselines as well as a representative meta-learned initialization. Our results show that constraining adaptation to a task-informed orthogonal subspace provides an effective alternative for unseen-task transfer.
