MuPHI: Learning Implicit Multimodal Harm Reasoning via Semantically Grounded Reward Optimization

Researchers introduce MuPHI, a dataset and training framework for detecting implicit multimodal harm in image-text pairs where danger emerges from context-dependent reasoning rather than surface features. The proposed MuPHIRM framework uses reward optimization to improve vision-language models' ability to reason about compositional harm while demonstrating stronger generalization to out-of-distribution scenarios.

Learning Compositional Latent Structure with Vector Networks

Researchers introduce Vector Networks (VN), a neural architecture that replaces dense weight matrices with libraries of reusable rank-1 weight atoms, enabling selective composition of network components for novel tasks. The approach demonstrates significant out-of-distribution generalization improvements—up to an order of magnitude better than baselines—when familiar elements must be recombined in new ways, addressing a fundamental limitation in deep learning's ability to handle compositional reasoning.
