Extensive evidence has demonstrated that deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to backdoor attacks, which motivates the development of backdoor attacks detection. Most detection methods are designed to verify whether a model is infected with presumed types of backdoor attacks, yet the adversary is likely to generate diverse backdoor attacks in practice that are unforeseen to defenders, which challenge current detection strategies. In this paper, we focus on this more challenging scenario and propose a universal backdoor attacks detection method named Adaptive Adversarial Probe (A2P). Specifically, we posit that the challenge of universal backdoor attacks detection lies in the fact that different backdoor attacks often exhibit diverse characteristics in trigger patterns (i.e., sizes and transparencies). Therefore, our A2P adopts a global-to-local probing framework, which adversarially probes images with adaptive regions/budgets to fit various backdoor triggers of different sizes/transparencies. Regarding the probing region, we propose the attention-guided region generation strategy that generates region proposals with different sizes/locations based on the attention of the target model, since trigger regions often manifest higher model activation. Considering the attack budget, we introduce the box-to-sparsity scheduling that iteratively increases the perturbation budget from box to sparse constraint, so that we could better activate different latent backdoors with different transparencies. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets (CIFAR-10, GTSRB, Tiny-ImageNet) demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art baselines by large margins (+12%).

The particle filter (PF) is a powerful inference tool widely used to estimate the filtering distribution in non-linear and/or non-Gaussian problems. To overcome the curse of dimensionality of PF, the block PF (BPF) inserts a blocking step to partition the state space into several subspaces or blocks of smaller dimension so that the correction and resampling steps can be performed independently on each subspace. Using blocks of small size reduces the variance of the filtering distribution estimate, but in turn the correlation between blocks is broken and a bias is introduced. When the dependence relationships between state variables are unknown, it is not obvious to decide how to split the state space into blocks and a significant error overhead may arise from a poor choice of partitioning. In this paper, we formulate the partitioning problem in the BPF as a clustering problem and we propose a state space partitioning method based on spectral clustering (SC). We design a generalized BPF algorithm that contains two new steps: (i) estimation of the state vector correlation matrix from predicted particles, (ii) SC using this estimate as the similarity matrix to determine an appropriate partition. In addition, a constraint is imposed on the maximal cluster size to prevent SC from providing too large blocks. We show that the proposed method can bring together in the same blocks the most correlated state variables while successfully escaping the curse of dimensionality.

This paper introduces the open-source dataset WanJuanSiLu, designed to provide high-quality training corpora for low-resource languages, thereby advancing the research and development of multilingual models. To achieve this, we have developed a systematic data processing framework tailored for low-resource languages. This framework encompasses key stages such as data extraction, corpus cleaning, content deduplication, security filtering, quality evaluation, and theme classification. Through the implementation of this framework, we have significantly improved both the quality and security of the dataset, while maintaining its linguistic diversity. As of now, data for all five languages have been fully open-sourced. The dataset can be accessed at https://opendatalab.com/applyMultilingualCorpus, and GitHub repository is available at https://github.com/opendatalab/WanJuan3.0

Remote sensing imagery presents vast, inherently unstructured spatial data, necessitating sophisticated reasoning to interpret complex user intents and contextual relationships beyond simple recognition tasks. In this paper, we aim to construct an Earth observation workflow to handle complex queries by reasoning about spatial context and user intent. As a reasoning workflow, it should autonomously explore and construct its own inference paths, rather than being confined to predefined ground-truth sequences. Ideally, its architecture ought to be unified yet generalized, possessing capabilities to perform diverse reasoning tasks through one model without requiring additional fine-tuning. Existing remote sensing approaches rely on supervised fine-tuning paradigms and task-specific heads, limiting both autonomous reasoning and unified generalization. To this end, we propose RemoteReasoner, a unified workflow for geospatial reasoning. The design of RemoteReasoner integrates a multi-modal large language model (MLLM) for interpreting user instructions and localizing targets, together with task transformation strategies that enable multi-granularity tasks, including object-, region-, and pixel-level. In contrast to existing methods, our framework is trained with reinforcement learning (RL) to endow the MLLM sufficient reasoning autonomy. At the inference stage, our transformation strategies enable diverse task output formats without requiring task-specific decoders or further fine-tuning. Experiments demonstrated that RemoteReasoner achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance across multi-granularity reasoning tasks. Furthermore, it retains the MLLM's inherent generalization capability, demonstrating robust performance on unseen tasks and out-of-distribution categories.
