Order Is Not Layout: Order-to-Space Bias in Image Generation

arXiv:2603.03714v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study a systematic bias in modern image generation models: the mention order of entities in text spuriously determines spatial layout and entity--role binding. We term this phenomenon Order-to-Space Bias (OTS) and show that it arises in both text-to-image and image-to-image generation, often overriding grounded cues and causing incorrect layouts or swapped assignments. To quantify OTS, we introduce OTS-Bench, which isolates order effects with paired prompts differing only in entity order and evaluates models along two dimensions: homogenization and correctness. Experiments show that Order-to-Space Bias (OTS) is widespread in modern image generation models, and provide evidence that it is primarily data-driven and manifests during the early stages of layout formation. Motivated by this insight, we show that both targeted fine-tuning and early-stage intervention strategies can substantially reduce OTS, while preserving generation quality.

Benchmarking MLLM-based Web Understanding: Reasoning, Robustness and Safety

arXiv:2509.21782v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed as the core reasoning engine for web-facing systems, powering GUI agents and front-end automation that must interpret page structure, select actionable widgets, and execute multi-step interactions reliably. However, existing benchmarks largely emphasize visual perception or UI code generation, showing insufficient evaluation on the reasoning, robustness and safety capability required for end-to-end web applications. To bridge the gap, we introduce a comprehensive web understanding benchmark, named WebRRSBench, that jointly evaluates Reasoning, Robustness, and Safety across eight tasks, such as position relationship reasoning, color robustness, and safety critical detection, etc. The benchmark is constructed from 729 websites and contains 3799 QA pairs that probe multi-step inference over page structure, text, widgets, and safety-critical interactions. To ensure reliable measurement, we adopt standardized prompts, a protocolized and deterministic evaluation pipeline, and multi-stage quality control combining automatic checks with targeted human verification. We evaluate 11 MLLMs on WebRRSBench. The results reveal significant gaps: models still struggle with compositional and cross-element reasoning over realistic layouts, show limited robustness when facing perturbations in user interfaces and content such as layout rearrangements or visual style shifts, and are rather conservative in recognizing and avoiding safety critical or irreversible actions. Our code and appendix are available at https: //github.com/annoy-worker/WebRSSBench.

TrustMH-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating the Trustworthiness of Large Language Models in Mental Health

arXiv:2603.03047v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate significant potential in providing accessible mental health support, their practical deployment raises critical trustworthiness concerns due to the domains high-stakes and safety-sensitive nature. Existing evaluation paradigms for general-purpose LLMs fail to capture mental health-specific requirements, highlighting an urgent need to prioritize and enhance their trustworthiness. To address this, we propose TrustMH-Bench, a holistic framework designed to systematically quantify the trustworthiness of mental health LLMs. By establishing a deep mapping from domain-specific norms to quantitative evaluation metrics, TrustMH-Bench evaluates models across eight core pillars: Reliability, Crisis Identification and Escalation, Safety, Fairness, Privacy, Robustness, Anti-sycophancy, and Ethics. We conduct extensive experiments across six general-purpose LLMs and six specialized mental health models. Experimental results indicate that the evaluated models underperform across various trustworthiness dimensions in mental health scenarios, revealing significant deficiencies. Notably, even generally powerful models (e.g., GPT-5.1) fail to maintain consistently high performance across all dimensions. Consequently, systematically improving the trustworthiness of LLMs has become a critical task. Our data and code are released.
