MMViT: Multiscale Multiview Vision TransformersYuchen Liu, Natasha Ong, Kaiyan Peng et al. · meta-ai
We present Multiscale Multiview Vision Transformers (MMViT), which introduces multiscale feature maps and multiview encodings to transformer models. Our model encodes different views of the input signal and builds several channel-resolution feature stages to process the multiple views of the input at different resolutions in parallel. At each scale stage, we use a cross-attention block to fuse information across different views. This enables the MMViT model to acquire complex high-dimensional representations of the input at different resolutions. The proposed model can serve as a backbone model in multiple domains. We demonstrate the effectiveness of MMViT on audio and image classification tasks, achieving state-of-the-art results.

SPADE-Bench: Evaluating Spontaneous Strategic Deception in Agents via Plan-Action DivergenceYuyan Bu, Haowei Li, Qirui Zheng et al.
As LLM-based agents expand their operational scope, reliability becomes a prerequisite for real-world deployment. However, in practical applications, human users cannot monitor every immediate behavior; instead, the execution process often remains a black box, leaving users dependent solely on the agent's self-reported updates. This opacity creates a critical risk: agents may present observer-facing reports that diverge from their executed actions, rendering the system uncontrollable, especially in high-stakes autonomous scenarios. We term such self-reported plan-action divergence as agent deception. To assess this, we introduce SPADE-Bench, a benchmark designed to evaluate spontaneous plan-action divergence. Unlike prior deception benchmarks, SPADE-Bench simultaneously integrates actual tool execution and controlled pressure scenarios. This design ensures ecological validity and rigorously distinguishes strategic deception from mere hallucination through controlled plan-action comparisons under pressure. Experiments across mainstream models confirm that agent deception is a genuine and pressing issue in tool-use contexts. By providing a comprehensive and robust evaluation framework, SPADE-Bench fills a critical gap in agent safety, facilitating the community's progress toward building trustworthy and controllable autonomous systems.

Make Tracking Easy: Neural Motion Retargeting for Humanoid Whole-body ControlQingrui Zhao, Kaiyue Yang, Xiyu Wang et al.
Humanoid robots require diverse motor skills to integrate into complex environments, but bridging the kinematic and dynamic embodiment gap from human data remains a major bottleneck. We demonstrate through Hessian analysis that traditional optimization-based retargeting is inherently non-convex and prone to local optima, leading to physical artifacts like joint jumps and self-penetration. To address this, we reformulate the targeting problem as learning data distribution rather than optimizing optimal solutions, where we propose NMR, a Neural Motion Retargeting framework that transforms static geometric mapping into a dynamics-aware learned process. We first propose Clustered-Expert Physics Refinement (CEPR), a hierarchical data pipeline that leverages VAE-based motion clustering to group heterogeneous movements into latent motifs. This strategy significantly reduces the computational overhead of massively parallel reinforcement learning experts, which project and repair noisy human demonstrations onto the robot's feasible motion manifold. The resulting high-fidelity data supervises a non-autoregressive CNN-Transformer architecture that reasons over global temporal context to suppress reconstruction noise and bypass geometric traps. Experiments on the Unitree G1 humanoid across diverse dynamic tasks (e.g., martial arts, dancing) show that NMR eliminates joint jumps and significantly reduces self-collisions compared to state-of-the-art baselines. Furthermore, NMR-generated references accelerate the convergence of downstream whole-body control policies, establishing a scalable path for bridging the human-robot embodiment gap.
