Transparent Fragments Contour Estimation via Visual-Tactile Fusion for Autonomous Reassembly

Qihao Lin, Borui Chen, Yuping Zhou et al.

The contour estimation of transparent fragments is very important for autonomous reassembly, especially in the fields of precision optical instrument repair, cultural relic restoration, and identification of other precious device broken accidents. Different from general intact transparent objects, the contour estimation of transparent fragments face greater challenges due to strict optical properties, irregular shapes and edges. To address this issue, a general transparent fragments contour estimation framework based on visual-tactile fusion is proposed in this paper. First, we construct the transparent fragment dataset named TransFrag27K, which includes a multiscene synthetic data of broken fragments from multiple types of transparent objects, and a scalable synthetic data generation pipeline. Secondly, we propose a visual grasping position detection network named TransFragNet to identify, locate and segment the sampling grasping position. And, we use a two-finger gripper with Gelsight Mini sensors to obtain reconstructed tactile information of the lateral edge of the fragments. By fusing this tactile information with visual cues, a visual-tactile fusion material classifier is proposed. Inspired by the way humans estimate a fragment's contour combining vision and touch, we introduce a general transparent fragment contour estimation framework based on visual-tactile fusion, demonstrates strong performance in real-world validation. Finally, a multi-dimensional similarity metrics based contour matching and reassembly algorithm is proposed, providing a reproducible benchmark for evaluating visual-tactile contour estimation and fragment reassembly. The experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed framework. The dataset and codes are available at https://github.com/Keithllin/Transparent-Fragments-Contour-Estimation.

AgentDoG 1.5: A Lightweight and Scalable Alignment Framework for AI Agent Safety and Security

Dongrui Liu, Yu Li, Zhonghao Yang et al.

Modern open-world agents such as OpenClaw exhibit powerful cross-environment execution capabilities yet introduce broad new safety risk sources. Meanwhile, advanced frontier AI models drastically lower attack barriers, rendering current agent alignment frameworks inadequate for real-world deployment. To tackle these emerging threats, we propose a lightweight and scalable agent safety alignment framework. Specifically, we update the agent safety taxonomy to accommodate emergent risks from Codex and OpenClaw execution scenarios. We further build a taxonomy-guided data engine with influence-function purification to train lightweight AgentDoG 1.5 variants (0.8B, 2B, 4B, and 8B parameters) using only around 1k samples, achieving comparable performance with leading closed-source models (e.g., GPT-5.4). Based on AgentDoG 1.5, we construct a highly efficient agentic safety SFT and RL training environment, which reduces deployment overhead in Docker-level environments by two orders of magnitude. Finally, we deploy AgentDoG 1.5 as a training-free online guardrail for real-time safety moderation. Extensive experimental results indicate that AgentDoG 1.5 achieves state-of-the-art performance in diverse and complex interactive agentic scenarios. All models and datasets are openly released.

DeepSight: An All-in-One LM Safety Toolkit

Bo Zhang, Jiaxuan Guo, Lijun Li et al.

As the development of Large Models (LMs) progresses rapidly, their safety is also a priority. In current Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) safety workflow, evaluation, diagnosis, and alignment are often handled by separate tools. Specifically, safety evaluation can only locate external behavioral risks but cannot figure out internal root causes. Meanwhile, safety diagnosis often drifts from concrete risk scenarios and remains at the explainable level. In this way, safety alignment lack dedicated explanations of changes in internal mechanisms, potentially degrading general capabilities. To systematically address these issues, we propose an open-source project, namely DeepSight, to practice a new safety evaluation-diagnosis integrated paradigm. DeepSight is low-cost, reproducible, efficient, and highly scalable large-scale model safety evaluation project consisting of a evaluation toolkit DeepSafe and a diagnosis toolkit DeepScan. By unifying task and data protocols, we build a connection between the two stages and transform safety evaluation from black-box to white-box insight. Besides, DeepSight is the first open source toolkit that support the frontier AI risk evaluation and joint safety evaluation and diagnosis.

AgentDoG: A Diagnostic Guardrail Framework for AI Agent Safety and Security

Dongrui Liu, Qihan Ren, Chen Qian et al.

The rise of AI agents introduces complex safety and security challenges arising from autonomous tool use and environmental interactions. Current guardrail models lack agentic risk awareness and transparency in risk diagnosis. To introduce an agentic guardrail that covers complex and numerous risky behaviors, we first propose a unified three-dimensional taxonomy that orthogonally categorizes agentic risks by their source (where), failure mode (how), and consequence (what). Guided by this structured and hierarchical taxonomy, we introduce a new fine-grained agentic safety benchmark (ATBench) and a Diagnostic Guardrail framework for agent safety and security (AgentDoG). AgentDoG provides fine-grained and contextual monitoring across agent trajectories. More Crucially, AgentDoG can diagnose the root causes of unsafe actions and seemingly safe but unreasonable actions, offering provenance and transparency beyond binary labels to facilitate effective agent alignment. AgentDoG variants are available in three sizes (4B, 7B, and 8B parameters) across Qwen and Llama model families. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that AgentDoG achieves state-of-the-art performance in agentic safety moderation in diverse and complex interactive scenarios. All models and datasets are openly released.

Preference-aware Influence-function-based Data Selection Method for Efficient Fine-Tuning

Qihao Lin, Guanxu Chen, Dongrui Liu et al.

As LLMs continue to scale, improving training efficiency increasingly depends on using data more effectively. Data selection addresses this problem by allocating a limited training budget to samples that best promote a target behavior. Existing methods usually represent the target behavior with a set of target examples, but often treat these examples as equally important. This can be inefficient because target examples may differ in their relevance to the current model: examples closer to the model's current behavior provide more actionable guidance than those farther away. We propose PRISM (PReference-aware Influence-function-based Data Selection Method for Efficient Fine-Tuning), which uses the current model's preference to weight target examples and construct a preference-aware target representation. PRISM then scores candidate training samples by their alignment with this representation, concentrating the data budget on samples more likely to move the model toward the target behavior. Theoretical analysis shows that this preference weighting yields a more effective first-order direction for increasing target-behavior preference. Experiments across model families and scales show that PRISM improves both efficient fine-tuning and safety-oriented SFT repair, demonstrating that precise target-behavior characterization is key to budget-efficient data selection.

Frontier AI Risk Management Framework in Practice: A Risk Analysis Technical Report v1.5

Dongrui Liu, Yi Yu, Jie Zhang et al.

To understand and identify the unprecedented risks posed by rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) models, Frontier AI Risk Management Framework in Practice presents a comprehensive assessment of their frontier risks. As Large Language Models (LLMs) general capabilities rapidly evolve and the proliferation of agentic AI, this version of the risk analysis technical report presents an updated and granular assessment of five critical dimensions: cyber offense, persuasion and manipulation, strategic deception, uncontrolled AI R\&D, and self-replication. Specifically, we introduce more complex scenarios for cyber offense. For persuasion and manipulation, we evaluate the risk of LLM-to-LLM persuasion on newly released LLMs. For strategic deception and scheming, we add the new experiment with respect to emergent misalignment. For uncontrolled AI R\&D, we focus on the ``mis-evolution'' of agents as they autonomously expand their memory substrates and toolsets. Besides, we also monitor and evaluate the safety performance of OpenClaw during the interaction on the Moltbook. For self-replication, we introduce a new resource-constrained scenario. More importantly, we propose and validate a series of robust mitigation strategies to address these emerging threats, providing a preliminary technical and actionable pathway for the secure deployment of frontier AI. This work reflects our current understanding of AI frontier risks and urges collective action to mitigate these challenges.

Frontier AI Risk Management Framework in Practice: A Risk Analysis Technical Report

Shanghai AI Lab, Xiaoyang Chen, Yunhao Chen et al.

To understand and identify the unprecedented risks posed by rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) models, this report presents a comprehensive assessment of their frontier risks. Drawing on the E-T-C analysis (deployment environment, threat source, enabling capability) from the Frontier AI Risk Management Framework (v1.0) (SafeWork-F1-Framework), we identify critical risks in seven areas: cyber offense, biological and chemical risks, persuasion and manipulation, uncontrolled autonomous AI R\&D, strategic deception and scheming, self-replication, and collusion. Guided by the "AI-$45^\circ$ Law," we evaluate these risks using "red lines" (intolerable thresholds) and "yellow lines" (early warning indicators) to define risk zones: green (manageable risk for routine deployment and continuous monitoring), yellow (requiring strengthened mitigations and controlled deployment), and red (necessitating suspension of development and/or deployment). Experimental results show that all recent frontier AI models reside in green and yellow zones, without crossing red lines. Specifically, no evaluated models cross the yellow line for cyber offense or uncontrolled AI R\&D risks. For self-replication, and strategic deception and scheming, most models remain in the green zone, except for certain reasoning models in the yellow zone. In persuasion and manipulation, most models are in the yellow zone due to their effective influence on humans. For biological and chemical risks, we are unable to rule out the possibility of most models residing in the yellow zone, although detailed threat modeling and in-depth assessment are required to make further claims. This work reflects our current understanding of AI frontier risks and urges collective action to mitigate these challenges.

DERMARK: A Dynamic, Efficient and Robust Multi-bit Watermark for Large Language Models

Qihao Lin, Chen Tang, Lan zhang et al.

As large language models (LLMs) grow more powerful, concerns over copyright infringement of LLM-generated texts have intensified. LLM watermarking has been proposed to trace unauthorized redistribution or resale of generated content by embedding identifiers within the text. Existing approaches primarily rely on one-bit watermarking, which only verifies whether a text was generated by a specific LLM. In contrast, multi-bit watermarking encodes richer information, enabling the identification of the specific LLM and user involved in generated or distributed content. However, current multi-bit methods directly embed the watermark into the text without considering its watermark capacity, which can result in failures, especially in low-entropy texts. In this paper, we analyze that the watermark embedding follows a normal distribution. We then derive a formal inequality to optimally segment the text for watermark embedding. Building upon this, we propose DERMARK, a dynamic, efficient, and robust multi-bit watermarking method that divides the text into variable-length segments for each watermark bit during the inference. Moreover, DERMARK incurs negligible overhead since no additional intermediate matrices are generated and achieves robustness against text editing by minimizing watermark extraction loss. Experiments demonstrate that, compared to SOTA, on average, our method reduces the number of tokens required per embedded bit by 25\%, reduces watermark embedding time by 50\%, and maintains high robustness against text modifications and watermark erasure attacks.
