Bridging the Confidence Gap: Temperature Scaling for Calibrating Test-Time Prompt Tuning

Yuwei Liang, Jian Liang, Dapeng Hu +2

Test-time prompt tuning (TPT) enables adaptation on a single test instance, achieving improved accuracy but often sacrificing calibration performance. Most existing calibration met…

To Adapt or Not to Adapt? Selective Adaptation for Vision-Language Models

Siru Jiang, Yuwei Liang, Jian Liang +2

Test-time adaptation (TTA) has emerged as a prominent strategy for adapting vision-language models to distribution shifts during inference. We conduct a per-sample analysis of mode…

AgentStream: How Well Do Self-Evolving LLM Agents Perform Under Streaming Tasks?

Dong Yan, Jian Liang, Dapeng Hu +4

Large language model (LLM) agents can self-evolve by continually improving from their own accumulated experience. However, existing studies predominantly adopt independent evaluati…

USE: A Unified Self-Ensembling Framework for Test-Time Prompt Tuning

Siru Jiang, Jian Liang, Ran He +1

Test-time adaptation (TTA) has emerged as a popular paradigm for improving the performance of vision-language models (e.g., CLIP) on downstream tasks. Among existing CLIP-based TTA…

On the Vulnerability of Parameter-Level Defenses to Model Merging

Kuangpu Guo, Qingyan Zheng, Jian Liang +4

The training-free integration of expert models via model merging has exposed significant security risks, enabling free-riders to combine specialized models without authorization. R…

WorldCoder-Bench: Benchmarking Physically Grounded 3D World Synthesis

Shuo Lu, Yinuo Xu, Kecheng Yu +8

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly asked not only to write static interfaces, but to construct executable interactive worlds from natural language. Browser-native 3D, co…

Understanding and Mitigating Spurious Signal Amplification in Test-Time Reinforcement Learning for Math Reasoning

Yongcan Yu, Lingxiao He, Jian Liang +5

Test-time reinforcement learning (TTRL) always adapts models at inference time via pseudo-labeling, leaving it vulnerable to spurious optimization signals from label noise. Through…

Taming Momentum: Rethinking Optimizer States Through Low-Rank Approximation

Zhengbo Wang, Jian Liang, Ran He +2

Modern optimizers like Adam and Muon are central to training large language models, but their reliance on first- and second-order momenta introduces significant memory overhead, wh…

Mitigating the Safety-utility Trade-off in LLM Alignment via Adaptive Safe Context Learning

Yanbo Wang, Minzheng Wang, Jian Liang +3

While reasoning models have achieved remarkable success in complex reasoning tasks, their increasing power necessitates stringent safety measures. For safety alignment, the core ch…
