Decoding Hidden Deception in Reasoning LLMs: Activation Explainers for Deception Auditing

Kexin Chen, Yi Liu, Haonan Zhang +3

As LLMs acquire stronger reasoning capabilities, deceptive behavior becomes an increasingly serious safety concern. Existing deception monitors either score visible transcripts or…

PaddleOCR-VL-1.6: Expanding the Frontier of Document Parsing with Under-Optimized Region Refinement and Progressive Post-Training

Zelun Zhang, Hongen Liu, Suyin Liang +12

We introduce PaddleOCR-VL-1.6, an upgraded compact document parsing model built upon PaddleOCR-VL-1.5. Although PaddleOCR-VL-1.5 establishes a strong 0.9B baseline, its remaining e…

A Distribution-Free Framework for Rewrite-Based Human-text Detection via Knockoff Filtering

Yi Liu

We propose a distribution-free statistical framework that converts arbitrary rewrite-based detectors into detectors with finite-sample FDR guarantees without retraining. Our key ob…

UniRTL: Unifying Code and Graph for Robust RTL Representation Learning

Yi Liu, Hongji Zhang, Lei Chen +2

Developing effective representations for register transfer level (RTL) designs is crucial for accelerating the hardware design workflow. Existing approaches, however, typically rel…

LLM-VA: Resolving the Jailbreak-Overrefusal Trade-off via Vector Alignment

Haonan Zhang, Dongxia Wang, Yi Liu +2

Safety-aligned LLMs suffer from two failure modes: jailbreak (answering harmful inputs) and over-refusal (declining benign queries). Existing vector steering methods adjust the mag…

ORFuzz: Fuzzing the "Other Side" of LLM Safety -- Testing Over-Refusal

Haonan Zhang, Dongxia Wang, Yi Liu +5

Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly exhibit over-refusal - erroneously rejecting benign queries due to overly conservative safety measures - a critical functional flaw that u…
