Summary Proves a self-correction theorem for quantized diffusion sampling (Wasserstein-2 error bounded by the sensitivity-weighted sum of per-step quantization errors) and derives a water-filling mixed-precision bit allocation that explains the early-coarse / late-fine rule; on a pretrained CIFAR-10 DDPM it is the most faithful allocation to the full-precision sampler at every budget.

Summary Diagnoses why zero-cost NAS proxies can rank against accuracy when transported across search spaces: on NAS-Bench-201 a dominant capacity-associated factor explains 52.9%/49.4% of a 29-feature proxy zoo’s variation, and several raw proxies reverse sign (condition-number sum +0.88 → −0.77); two controlled search traps cost +5.40 and +1.97 points at K=10.

Summary Proposed a scene-level conformal calibration rule for co-visibility scores with finite-sample connectivity guarantees; obtained 15/17 connected proxy-positive test graphs, versus 11/17 for a fixed threshold and 2/17 for top-30% selection.

Summary Proposed SLICE, which injects watermark signals into compartmentalized regions of the semantic latent space; led model design, theoretical analysis and evaluation, with statistical false-accept-rate guarantees and robustness to semantic-guided regeneration attacks.

Summary Contributed core algorithmic design and experimental validation of a layered, cross-modal watermarking framework that embeds tamper-sensitive signals across audio and visual streams, enabling deepfake detection and segment-level localization.

Proceedings of the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV ’26), 2026
Summary Contributed to a bi-level prompting framework that transfers and completes cross-modal information, sustaining visual-recognition accuracy when input modalities are partially missing.

DOI arXiv PDF Code
Summary Identified that the semantic-binding mechanism of content-aware semantic watermarking can be bypassed by globally coherent semantic rewrites, and proposed CSI, an LLM-guided attack that invalidates state-of-the-art schemes while keeping image fidelity. Led the work end-to-end.

Summary Co-led a training-free attack that stochastically deflects the reverse denoising trajectory to remove diffusion watermarks; evaluated against nine watermarking methods with 95–100% reported attack success.

NeurIPS 2026 Workshop on Beyond Private Training: The New Landscape of AI Privacy (InfPriv), 2026
Summary Contributed to an exact worst-case privacy analysis of retry-until-valid wrappers around pure ε-differentially-private inference routines, with a closed-form worst-case envelope that stays bounded away from zero as the attempt cap grows.

How Much Must We Test After an Agent Update? Certifying Retention in Continually Learning Agents

NeurIPS 2026 Workshop on Continual Learning in the Era of Foundation Models and Embodied Agents, 2026
Summary Contributed to a study of how much testing is needed to certify that an agent update retains earlier capabilities; a frozen model-selection update raised GSM8K accuracy by 11.0 points with the tested historical policy preserved.
