Vision-language models (VLMs) have achieved impressive results on single-view vision tasks, but lack the multi-view spatial reasoning capabilities essential for embodied AI systems to understand 3D environments and manipulate objects across different viewpoints. In this work, we introduce Cross-View Relations (XVR), a large-scale dataset designed to teach VLMs spatial reasoning across multiple views. XVR comprises 100K vision-question-answer samples derived from 18K diverse 3D scenes and 70K robotic manipulation trajectories, spanning three fundamental spatial reasoning tasks: Correspondence (matching objects across views), Verification (validating spatial relationships), and Localization (identifying object positions). VLMs fine-tuned on XVR achieve substantial improvements on established multi-view and robotic spatial reasoning benchmarks (MindCube and RoboSpatial). When integrated as backbones in Vision-Language-Action models, XVR-trained representations improve success rates on RoboCasa. Our results demonstrate that explicit training on cross-view spatial relations significantly enhances multi-view reasoning and transfers effectively to real-world robotic manipulation.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as computer-use agents, autonomously performing tasks within real desktop or web environments. While this evolution greatly expands practical use cases for humans, it also creates serious security exposures. We present SUDO (Screen-based Universal Detox2Tox Offense), a novel attack framework that systematically bypasses refusal-trained safeguards in commercial computer-use agents, such as Claude for Computer Use. The core mechanism, Detox2Tox, transforms harmful requests (that agents initially reject) into seemingly benign requests via detoxification, secures detailed instructions from advanced vision language models (VLMs), and then reintroduces malicious content via toxification just before execution. Unlike conventional jailbreaks, SUDO iteratively refines its attacks based on a built-in refusal feedback, making it increasingly effective against robust policy filters. In extensive tests spanning 50 real-world tasks and multiple state-of-the-art VLMs, SUDO achieves a stark attack success rate of 24.41% (with no refinement), and up to 41.33% (by its iterative refinement) in Claude for Computer Use. By revealing these vulnerabilities and demonstrating the ease with which they can be exploited in real-world computing environments, this paper highlights an immediate need for robust, context-aware safeguards.

Despite recent progress in automatic speech recognition (ASR), elderly ASR (EASR) remains challenging due to limited training data and the distinct acoustic and linguistic characteristics of elderly speech. In this work, we address data scarcity in EASR through a data augmentation pipeline that combines large language model (LLM)-based transcript paraphrasing with text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. Given an elderly speech dataset, the LLM first generates elderly-contextual paraphrases of the original transcripts, and the TTS model then synthesizes corresponding speech using elderly reference speakers. The resulting synthetic audio-text pairs are merged with the original data to fine-tune Whisper without architectural modification. We further analyze the effects of augmentation ratio and reference-speaker composition in low-resource EASR. Experiments on English and Korean elderly speech datasets from speakers aged 70 and above show that the proposed method consistently improves performance over conventional augmentation baselines, achieving up to a 58.2% reduction in word error rate (WER) compared with the Whisper baseline.

When working on digital devices, people often face distractions that can lead to a decline in productivity and efficiency, as well as negative psychological and emotional impacts. To address this challenge, we introduce a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistant that elicits a user's intention, assesses whether ongoing activities are in line with that intention, and provides gentle nudges when deviations occur. The system leverages a large language model to analyze screenshots, application titles, and URLs, issuing notifications when behavior diverges from the stated goal. Its detection accuracy is refined through initial clarification dialogues and continuous user feedback. In a three-week, within-subjects field deployment with 22 participants, we compared our assistant to both a rule-based intent reminder system and a passive baseline that only logged activity. Results indicate that our AI assistant effectively supports users in maintaining focus and aligning their digital behavior with their intentions.
