arXiv:2605.23954v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio Large Language Models (ALLMs) are highly vulnerable to real-world noise, which often induces severe semantic drift and hallucinations. Existing robustness methods primarily rely on waveform-level acoustic enhancement, answer-level supervision, or the internal suppression of noise representations. To address these issues, we propose echodistill, an alignment-based noisy-to-clean self-distillation framework. Echodistill leverages a frozen clean-audio teacher to provide semantic references for an inference-time noisy-audio student. Specifically, the student samples candidate responses under noisy conditions to expose its test-time behavior. These trajectories are then optimized via group-relative policy optimization (GRPO), where the token-level consistency with the teacher acts as a reward bonus. By aligning the noisy student's candidate responses with clean semantic evidence, and applying audio-aware reward shaping, our method encourages reasoning trajectories that are both correct and genuinely acoustically grounded. Echodistill significantly improves the semantic reliability and task performance of Audio LLMs under complex noise, without introducing any additional inference costs. Extensive experiments show that: (I) Compared with the strongest baseline, echodistill achieves average improvements of 4.18\%$\uparrow$ in GSR under strong noise. (II) Ablation results on Qwen-Omni further show that echodistill improves over the GRPO-only variant by 3.02\%$\uparrow$ in Acc, 3.89\%$\uparrow$ in Noisy, and 4.53\%$\uparrow$ in GSR on average.

arXiv:2605.24860v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) play an important role in modern automotive intelligence, significantly enhancing vehicle safety and stability. The performance of ADAS critically relies on accurate and reliable vehicle state estimation, particularly from vehicle dynamic sensors. Among these signals, wheel load is a key variable for chassis control and safety-critical functions, yet it remains difficult to estimate robustly due to complex suspension geometry, nonlinear dynamics, and measurement noise. To address this issue, we propose DBPnet, a Bayesian physics-informed neural network (PINN) with a physics-aware embedding module inspired by damper characteristics. First, this paper presents a suspension linkage-level modeling (SLLM) approach that constructs a nonlinear instantaneous dynamic model by explicitly considering the complex geometric structure of the suspension. Building upon SLLM, Bayesian inference is integrated into the PINN to effectively cope with noise and uncertainty in the vehicle chassis system, thereby improving the model's robustness. Then, a physics-informed loss function is employed to ensure consistency with fundamental physical principles, while the damper characteristics-inspired embedding module extracts temporal variation features of input signals and incorporates them into each layer of the PINN, ensuring that physical observations guide the neural network without being constrained by fixed physical models. Extensive evaluations on high-fidelity simulations and real-world experiments demonstrate that our DBPnet consistently achieves lower RMSE and MaxError than baseline methods. These results highlight the potential of our DBPnet to advance wheel load estimation and contribute to the development of more reliable ADAS actuator functions.
