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…

What If Consensus Lies? Selective-Complementary Reinforcement Learning at Test Time

Dong Yan, Jian Liang, Yanbo Wang +3

Test-Time Reinforcement Learning (TTRL) enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance reasoning capabilities on unlabeled test streams by deriving pseudo-rewards from majority vo…

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…

Do MLLMs Really Understand Space? A Mathematical Reasoning Evaluation

Shuo Lu, Jianjie Cheng, Yinuo Xu +16

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved strong performance on perception-oriented tasks, yet their ability to perform mathematical spatial reasoning, defined as the…

Stop Tracking Me! Proactive Defense Against Attribute Inference Attack in LLMs

Dong Yan, Jian Liang, Ran He +1

Recent studies have shown that large language models (LLMs) can infer private user attributes (e.g., age, location, gender) from user-generated text shared online, enabling rapid a…

Learning Fair Domain Adaptation with Virtual Label Distribution

Yuguang Zhang, Lijun Sheng, Jian Liang +1

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) aims to mitigate performance degradation when training and testing data are sampled from different distributions. While significant progress ha…
