Despite their impressive predictive performance, GNNs often exhibit poor confidence calibration, i.e., their predicted confidence scores do not accurately reflect true correctness likelihood. This issue raises concerns about their reliability in high-stakes domains such as fraud detection, and risk assessment, where well-calibrated predictions are essential for decision-making. To ensure trustworthy predictions, several GNN calibration methods are proposed. Though they can improve global calibration, our experiments reveal that they often fail to generalize across different node groups, leading to inaccurate confidence in node groups with different degree levels, classes, and local structures. In certain cases, they even degrade calibration compared to the original uncalibrated GNN. To address this challenge, we propose a novel AdvCali framework that adaptively enhances calibration across different node groups. Our method leverages adversarial training to automatically identify mis-calibrated node groups and applies a differentiable Group Expected Calibration Error (ECE) loss term to refine confidence estimation within these groups. This allows the model to dynamically adjust its calibration strategy without relying on dataset-specific prior knowledge about miscalibrated subgroups. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that our approach not only improves global calibration but also significantly enhances calibration within groups defined by feature similarity, topology, and connectivity, outperforming previous methods and demonstrating its effectiveness in practical scenarios.

In this technical report, we tackle the challenges of training large-scale Mixture of Experts (MoE) models, focusing on overcoming cost inefficiency and resource limitations prevalent in such systems. To address these issues, we present two differently sized MoE large language models (LLMs), namely Ling-Lite and Ling-Plus (referred to as "Bailing" in Chinese, spelled B\v{a}il\'ing in Pinyin). Ling-Lite contains 16.8 billion parameters with 2.75 billion activated parameters, while Ling-Plus boasts 290 billion parameters with 28.8 billion activated parameters. Both models exhibit comparable performance to leading industry benchmarks. This report offers actionable insights to improve the efficiency and accessibility of AI development in resource-constrained settings, promoting more scalable and sustainable technologies. Specifically, to reduce training costs for large-scale MoE models, we propose innovative methods for (1) optimization of model architecture and training processes, (2) refinement of training anomaly handling, and (3) enhancement of model evaluation efficiency. Additionally, leveraging high-quality data generated from knowledge graphs, our models demonstrate superior capabilities in tool use compared to other models. Ultimately, our experimental findings demonstrate that a 300B MoE LLM can be effectively trained on lower-performance devices while achieving comparable performance to models of a similar scale, including dense and MoE models. Compared to high-performance devices, utilizing a lower-specification hardware system during the pre-training phase demonstrates significant cost savings, reducing computing costs by approximately 20%.

We introduce One-Shot Dual-Arm Imitation Learning (ODIL), which enables dual-arm robots to learn precise and coordinated everyday tasks from just a single demonstration of the task. ODIL uses a new three-stage visual servoing (3-VS) method for precise alignment between the end-effector and target object, after which replay of the demonstration trajectory is sufficient to perform the task. This is achieved without requiring prior task or object knowledge, or additional data collection and training following the single demonstration. Furthermore, we propose a new dual-arm coordination paradigm for learning dual-arm tasks from a single demonstration. ODIL was tested on a real-world dual-arm robot, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance across six precise and coordinated tasks in both 4-DoF and 6-DoF settings, and showing robustness in the presence of distractor objects and partial occlusions.

Graph Prompt Learning (GPL) has been introduced as a promising approach that uses prompts to adapt pre-trained GNN models to specific downstream tasks without requiring fine-tuning of the entire model. Despite the advantages of GPL, little attention has been given to its vulnerability to backdoor attacks, where an adversary can manipulate the model's behavior by embedding hidden triggers. Existing graph backdoor attacks rely on modifying model parameters during training, but this approach is impractical in GPL as GNN encoder parameters are frozen after pre-training. Moreover, downstream users may fine-tune their own task models on clean datasets, further complicating the attack. In this paper, we propose TGPA, a backdoor attack framework designed specifically for GPL. TGPA injects backdoors into graph prompts without modifying pre-trained GNN encoders and ensures high attack success rates and clean accuracy. To address the challenge of model fine-tuning by users, we introduce a finetuning-resistant poisoning approach that maintains the effectiveness of the backdoor even after downstream model adjustments. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets under various settings demonstrate the effectiveness of TGPA in compromising GPL models with fixed GNN encoders.

Most existing deep neural networks (DNNs) are easily disturbed by slight noise. However, there are few researches on physical attacks by deploying lighting equipment. The light-based physical attacks has excellent covertness, which brings great security risks to many vision-based applications (such as self-driving). Therefore, we propose a light-based physical attack, called adversarial laser spot (AdvLS), which optimizes the physical parameters of laser spots through genetic algorithm to perform physical attacks. It realizes robust and covert physical attack by using low-cost laser equipment. As far as we know, AdvLS is the first light-based physical attack that perform physical attacks in the daytime. A large number of experiments in the digital and physical environments show that AdvLS has excellent robustness and covertness. In addition, through in-depth analysis of the experimental data, we find that the adversarial perturbations generated by AdvLS have superior adversarial attack migration. The experimental results show that AdvLS impose serious interference to advanced DNNs, we call for the attention of the proposed AdvLS. The code of AdvLS is available at: https://github.com/ChengYinHu/AdvLS

In this paper, we present SemEval-2020 Task 4, Commonsense Validation and Explanation (ComVE), which includes three subtasks, aiming to evaluate whether a system can distinguish a natural language statement that makes sense to humans from one that does not, and provide the reasons. Specifically, in our first subtask, the participating systems are required to choose from two natural language statements of similar wording the one that makes sense and the one does not. The second subtask additionally asks a system to select the key reason from three options why a given statement does not make sense. In the third subtask, a participating system needs to generate the reason. We finally attracted 39 teams participating at least one of the three subtasks. For Subtask A and Subtask B, the performances of top-ranked systems are close to that of humans. However, for Subtask C, there is still a relatively large gap between systems and human performance.
