Spa-VLM: Stealthy Poisoning Attacks on RAG-based VLM

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Lei Yu, Yechao Zhang, Ziqi Zhou, Yang Wu, Wei Wan | Summary: With the rapid development of the Vision-Language Model (VLM), significant progress has been made in Visual Question Answering (VQA) tasks. However, existing VLM often generate inaccurate answers due to a lack of up-to-date knowledge. To […]

Revisiting the Li abundances of Stars with and without Detected Planets from the High Resolution Spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Jinxiao Qin, Hong-Liang Yan, Wenyuan Cui, Jian-Rong Shi, Subo Dong | Summary: Whether the presence of planets affects the lithium (Li) abundance of their host stars is still an open question. To investigate the difference of the Li abundance between planet-host stars (HS) and isolated stars (IS) […]

Exact Quantum Many-Body Scars in 2D Quantum Gauge Models

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Yuan Miao, Linhao Li, Hosho Katsura, Masahito Yamazaki, | Summary: Quantum many-body scars (QMBS) serve as important examples of ergodicity-breaking phenomena in quantum many-body systems. Despite recent extensive studies, exact QMBS are rare in dimensions higher than one. In this paper, we study a two-dimensional quantum $mathbb{Z}_2$ […]

Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: NoĆ©mie Globus, Roger Blandford, , , | Summary: Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays, UHECR, are charged particles with energies between $sim10^{18},{rm eV}$ and $sim3times10^{20},{rm eV}sim50,{rm J}$. They exhibit fundamental physics at energies inaccessible to terrestrial accelerators, challenge experimental physics and connect strongly to astronomical observations through electromagnetic, […]

Resurgence Analysis of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model at large charge

Kavli Affiliate: Simeon Hellerman | First 5 Authors: Jahmall Bersini, Simeon Hellerman, Domenico Orlando, Susanne Reffert, | Summary: We study the fixed point of the three-dimensional NJL model in a double-scaling limit where both the charge $Q$ and the number of fermion flavors $N$ become large with a fixed ratio $q=Q/(2N)$. While a similar analysis […]

Multi-objective Large Language Model Alignment with Hierarchical Experts

Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhuo Li, Guodong Du, Weiyang Guo, Yigeng Zhou, Xiucheng Li | Summary: Aligning large language models (LLMs) to simultaneously satisfy multiple objectives remains a significant challenge, especially given the diverse and often conflicting nature of human preferences. Existing alignment methods struggle to balance trade-offs effectively, often requiring […]

Evolution of star clusters with initial bulk rotation via N-body simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Rainer Spurzem | First 5 Authors: Abylay Bissekenov, Xiaoying Pang, Albrecht Kamlah, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven, Rainer Spurzem | Summary: Young star clusters can inherit bulk rotation from the molecular clouds from which they have formed. This rotation can affect the long-term evolution of a star cluster and its constituent stellar populations. In […]
