SPFM-Net: Semantic-Prior-Guided Frequency-Constrained Mamba for Invisible Watermark Attack2607.27811AuthorsChunpeng Wang,Yanan Shi,Zhiqiu Xia,Jidong Yang,Suo Gaoand 1 moreAbstractExisting watermark attacks typically rely on predefined signal-processing operations or locally constrained restoration networks, making it difficult to capture the long-range dependencies of globally distributed watermark signals and resulting in an unfavorable trade-off between removal effectiveness and visual fidelity. In this paper, we propose SPFM-Net, a semantic-prior-guided and frequency-constrained Mamba framework for invisible watermark attack. SPFM-Net first employs high-ratio masking to disrupt the spatial coherence of invisible watermark signals, and then utilizes a partially fine-tuned pretrained Masked Autoencoder to reconstruct semantically consistent image from sparse observations while suppressing watermark-related information. A Multi-scale Residual Frequency Feature Interaction module subsequently aggregates watermark-related residual features across multiple receptive fields, while adaptively suppressing responses from watermark-irrelevant regions. To further capture the long-range dependencies of globally distributed watermark signals, a lightweight Mamba-based Global State-space Feature Modeling (GSFM) unit is introduced to separate watermark-related features from natural image content and suppress the remaining watermark traces. In addition, SPFM-Net is optimized using a multi-level objective that jointly imposes spatial-, frequency-, and edge-domain constraints, enabling effective watermark suppression while preserving perceptual quality. Extensive experiments on representative spatial-domain, transform-domain, orthogonal moment-based, and deep learning-based watermarking schemes demonstrate that SPFM-Net achieves a favorable trade-off between watermark attack effectiveness and perceptual fidelity.ResourcesView on Hugging FaceRead PDFArXiv

ResearchLearning When to Trust via Selective Context Preference Optimization
Language models increasingly condition their answers on external signals, and a single misleading one can turn a correct answer wrong. The obvious remedy, training models to resist such signals, hides a failure mode: a model that ignores all context looks robust yet is useless when the context is worth trusting. We recast the problem as selective trust and introduce MIST, a human-annotated benchmark that renders each reasoning item under four matched conditions (clean, misleading, correct-context, and irrelevant-context), together with SC2W, a paired metric counting how often a misle

ResearchTracing the Heart: An Evidence-Linked Pipeline for Heart-Failure Feature Engineering
Electronic health record (EHR) feature engineering is a major bottleneck in clinical research and AI, accounting for 39-45% of data scientists' workload. This is especially pronounced in heart failure, which affects an estimated 6.7 million U.S. adults and requires integrating fragmented EHR data with disease-specific, guideline-based clinical reasoning. Existing rule-based and large language model (LLM)-based approaches offer only partial automation with limited maintainability and evidence traceability. We developed the Nimblemind Multi-Agent System (nMAS), an evidence-linked, rubr
