EvolveNet: Collaborative Harness Evolution for Agent Self-Improvement
Jun Nie, Yonggang Zhang, Qianshu Cai +3
An LLM agent can acquire persistent improvements by evolving its harness---the executable program governing model calls, tool use, verification, and recovery---without updating mod…
Generated Images Are Easier to Forget: A Machine Unlearning Perspective for Synthetic Image Detection
Jun Nie, Yonggang Zhang, Tongliang Liu +3
Robust detection of generated images is critical to counter the misuse of generative models. Existing methods primarily depend on learning from human-annotated training datasets, l…
DRNOISE: Benchmarking Deep Research Agents in Misleading Evidence Environments
Jun Nie, Zhiqin Yang, Zhenheng Tang +4
Deep research agents increasingly operate over the open web, where relevant records coexist with redundant summaries, outdated reports, and misleading documents. Existing evaluatio…
TTHE: Test-Time Harness Evolution
Jun Nie, Yonggang Zhang, Jun Song +5
The behavior of an LLM agent is determined not only by the underlying model, but also by its harness: the executable program that constructs context, invokes tools, verifies interm…
FedRG: Unleashing the Representation Geometry for Federated Learning with Noisy Clients
Tian Wen, Zhiqin Yang, Yonggang Zhang +4
Federated learning (FL) suffers from performance degradation due to the inevitable presence of noisy annotations in distributed scenarios. Existing approaches have advanced in dist…
Epistemic Uncertainty for Generated Image Detection
Jun Nie, Yonggang Zhang, Tongliang Liu +3
We introduce a novel framework for AI-generated image detection through epistemic uncertainty, aiming to address critical security concerns in the era of generative models. Our key…
Revisiting Privacy-Utility Trade-off for DP Training with Pre-existing Knowledge
Yu Zheng, Wenchao Zhang, Yonggang Zhang +5
Differential privacy (DP) provides a provable framework for protecting individuals by customizing a random mechanism over a privacy-sensitive dataset. Deep learning models have dem…
On the Learnability of Out-of-distribution Detection
Zhen Fang, Yixuan Li, Feng Liu +2
Supervised learning aims to train a classifier under the assumption that training and test data are from the same distribution. To ease the above assumption, researchers have studi…
Negative Label Guided OOD Detection with Pretrained Vision-Language Models
Xue Jiang, Feng Liu, Zhen Fang +4
Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection aims at identifying samples from unknown classes, playing a crucial role in trustworthy models against errors on unexpected inputs. Extensive re…
FedImpro: Measuring and Improving Client Update in Federated Learning
Zhenheng Tang, Yonggang Zhang, Shaohuai Shi +4
Federated Learning (FL) models often experience client drift caused by heterogeneous data, where the distribution of data differs across clients. To address this issue, advanced re…
NoiseDiffusion: Correcting Noise for Image Interpolation with Diffusion Models beyond Spherical Linear Interpolation
PengFei Zheng, Yonggang Zhang, Zhen Fang +3
Image interpolation based on diffusion models is promising in creating fresh and interesting images. Advanced interpolation methods mainly focus on spherical linear interpolation,…
