USAD: Uncertainty-aware Statistical Adversarial Detection

Zhijian Zhou, Xunye Tian, Jiacheng Zhang +5

Statistical adversarial detection (SAD) treats detection as a two-sample test. Given a reference set of clean examples (CEs) and a batch of queries, potentially containing an unkno…

SVoT: State-aware Visualization-of-Thought for Spatial Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning

Chao Lei, Yanbei Jiang, Markus Hiller +4

Spatial reasoning remains a challenge for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), as it requires reliable multi-hop inference over both intermediate states and state transitions.…

LOTTERY: Learning from Reference-Only Samples in Two-Sample Testing under Size Asymmetry

Xunye Tian, Zhijian Zhou, Liuhua Peng +1

Data-adaptive two-sample testing assesses if two samples come from the same distribution, using a discrepancy learned from the data (e.g., via kernel-based feature representations)…

Are Two Datasets Close Enough With Statistical Significance? A Kernel Distributional Closeness Testing Approach

Zhijian Zhou, Liuhua Peng, Xunye Tian +2

Are two distributions close to each other with statistical significance? Distribution closeness testing (DCT) formalizes this question by testing whether the distance between a dis…

DUAL: Learning Diverse Kernels for Aggregated Two-sample and Independence Testing

Zhijian Zhou, Xunye Tian, Liuhua Peng +4

To adapt kernel two-sample and independence testing to complex structured data, aggregation of multiple kernels is frequently employed to boost testing power compared to single-ker…

Anchor-based Maximum Discrepancy for Relative Similarity Testing

Zhijian Zhou, Liuhua Peng, Xunye Tian +1

The relative similarity testing aims to determine which of the distributions, P or Q, is closer to an anchor distribution U. Existing kernel-based approaches often test the relativ…
