| 2025 | Think Small, Act Big: Primitive Prompt Learning for Lifelong Robot ManipulationabstractBuilding a lifelong robot that can effectively leverage prior knowledge for continuous skill acquisition remains significantly challenging. Despite the success of experience replay and parameter-efficient methods in alleviating catastrophic forgetting problem, naively applying these methods causes a failure to leverage the shared primitives between skills. To tackle these issues, we propose Primitive Prompt Learning (PPL), to achieve lifelong robot manipulation via reusable and extensible primitives. Within our two stage learning scheme, we first learn a set of primitive prompts to represent shared primitives through multi-skills pre-training stage, where motion-aware prompts are learned to capture semantic and motion shared primitives across different skills. Secondly, when acquiring new skills in lifelong span, new prompts are concatenated and optimized with frozen pretrained prompts, boosting the learning via knowledge transfer from old skills to new ones. For evaluation, we construct a large-scale skill dataset and conduct extensive experiments in both simulation and real-world tasks, demonstrating PPL’s superior performance over state-of-the-art methods.

| 2025 | Invisible Entropy: Towards Safe and Efficient Low-Entropy LLM WatermarkingabstractLogit-based LLM watermarking traces and verifies AI-generated content by maintaining green and red token lists and increasing the likelihood of green tokens during generation.However, it fails in low-entropy scenarios, where predictable outputs make green token selection difficult without disrupting natural text flow.Existing approaches address this by assuming access to the original LLM to calculate entropy and selectively watermark high-entropy tokens.However, these methods face two major challenges:(1) high computational costs and detection delays due to reliance on the original LLM, and (2) potential risks of model leakage.To address these limitations, we propose Invisible Entropy (IE), a watermarking paradigm designed to enhance both safety and efficiency.Instead of relying on the original LLM, IE introduces a lightweight feature extractor and an entropy tagger to predict whether the entropy of the next token is high or low.Furthermore, based on theoretical analysis, we develop a threshold navigator that adaptively sets entropy thresholds.It identifies a threshold where the watermark ratio decreases as the green token count increases, enhancing the naturalness of the watermarked text and improving detection robustness.Experiments on HumanEval and MBPP datasets demonstrate that IE reduces parameter size by 99% while achieving performance on par with state-of-the-art methods.Our work introduces a safe and efficient paradigm for low-entropy watermarking.We release both our standalone implementation IE-official-repo and an integration into the existing package MarkLLM.

| 2025 | FUSE: Label-Free Image-Event Joint Monocular Depth Estimation via Frequency-Decoupled Alignment and Degradation-Robust FusionabstractImage-event joint depth estimation methods leverage complementary modalities for robust perception, yet face challenges in generalizability stemming from two factors: 1) limited annotated image-event-depth datasets causing insufficient cross-modal supervision, and 2) inherent frequency mismatches between static images and dynamic event streams with distinct spatiotemporal patterns, leading to ineffective feature fusion. To address this dual challenge, we propose Frequency-decoupled Unified Self-supervised Encoder (FUSE) with two synergistic components: The Parameter-efficient Self-supervised Transfer (PST) leverages image foundation models for cross-modal knowledge transfer, effectively mitigating data scarcity by enabling joint encoding without depth ground truth. Complementing this, the Frequency-Decoupled Fusion module (FreDFuse) resolves modality-specific frequency mismatches by decoupling features into high- and low-frequency bands and then performing a guided cross-attention fusion, where the modality dominant in each band steers the integration. This combined approach enables FUSE to construct a universal image-event encoder that only requires lightweight decoder adaptation for target datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate state-of-the-art performance with 14% and 24.9% improvements in Abs.Rel on MVSEC and DENSE datasets. The framework exhibits remarkable robustness and generalization in challenging scenarios, including extreme lighting and motion blur, significantly advancing its real-world deployment capabilities.

| 2024 | MLLMGuard: A Multi-dimensional Safety Evaluation Suite for Multimodal Large Language ModelsabstractPowered by remarkable advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs), Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate impressive capabilities in manifold tasks.However, the practical application scenarios of MLLMs are intricate, exposing them to potential malicious instructions and thereby posing safety risks.While current benchmarks do incorporate certain safety considerations, they often lack comprehensive coverage and fail to exhibit the necessary rigor and robustness.For instance, the common practice of employing GPT-4V as both the evaluator and a model to be evaluated lacks credibility, as it tends to exhibit a bias toward its own responses.In this paper, we present MLLMGuard, a multi-dimensional safety evaluation suite for MLLMs, including a bilingual image-text evaluation dataset, inference utilities, and a lightweight evaluator.MLLMGuard's assessment comprehensively covers two languages (English and Chinese) and five important safety dimensions (Privacy, Bias, Toxicity, Truthfulness, and Legality), each with corresponding rich subtasks.Focusing on these dimensions, our evaluation dataset is primarily sourced from platforms such as social media, and it integrates text-based and image-based red teaming techniques with meticulous annotation by human experts.This can prevent inaccurate evaluation caused by data leakage when using open-source datasets and ensures the quality and challenging nature of our benchmark.Additionally, a fully automated lightweight evaluator termed GuardRank is developed, which achieves significantly higher evaluation accuracy than GPT-4.Our evaluation results across 13 advanced models indicate that MLLMs still have a substantial journey ahead before they can be considered safe and responsible.
