arXiv:2603.03331v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a widely used non-invasive sensing modality for continuous cardiovascular and physiological monitoring across clinical, laboratory, and wearable settings. While existing PPG datasets support a broad range of downstream tasks, they typically provide supervision in the form of numerical measurements or task-specific labels, limiting their suitability for language-based physiological reasoning and multimodal foundation models. In this work, we introduce PulseLM, a large-scale PPG-text dataset designed to bridge raw PPG waveforms and natural language through a unified, closed-ended question answering (QA) formulation. PulseLM aggregates PPG recordings from fifteen publicly available sources and harmonizes heterogeneous annotations into twelve common physiologically QA tasks. The dataset comprises 1.31 million standardized 10-second PPG segments, associated with 3.15 million question-answer pairs. We further define reproducible preprocessing, supervision, and evaluation protocols and establish baseline benchmarks using multimodal PPG-aware large language models. PulseLM provides a standardized foundation for studying multimodal physiological reasoning, cross-dataset generalization, and scalable benchmarking of PPG-based language models. The data and code can be found publicly available at: https://github.com/manhph2211/PulseLM.

arXiv:2603.02281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent studies show that quantum neural networks (QNNs) generalize well in few-shot regimes. To extend this advantage to large-scale tasks, we propose Q-LoRA, a quantum-enhanced fine-tuning scheme that integrates lightweight QNNs into the low-rank adaptation (LoRA) adapter. Applied to AI-generated content (AIGC) detection, Q-LoRA consistently outperforms standard LoRA under few-shot settings. We analyze the source of this improvement and identify two possible structural inductive biases from QNNs: (i) phase-aware representations, which encode richer information across orthogonal amplitude-phase components, and (ii) norm-constrained transformations, which stabilize optimization via inherent orthogonality. However, Q-LoRA incurs non-trivial overhead due to quantum simulation. Motivated by our analysis, we further introduce H-LoRA, a fully classical variant that applies the Hilbert transform within the LoRA adapter to retain similar phase structure and constraints. Experiments on few-shot AIGC detection show that both Q-LoRA and H-LoRA outperform standard LoRA by over 5% accuracy, with H-LoRA achieving comparable accuracy at significantly lower cost in this task.

arXiv:2504.19373v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in multi-modal large reasoning models (MLRMs) have shown significant ability to interpret complex visual content. While these models enable impressive reasoning capabilities, they also introduce novel and underexplored privacy risks. In this paper, we identify a novel category of privacy leakage in MLRMs: Adversaries can infer sensitive geolocation information, such as a user's home address or neighborhood, from user-generated images, including selfies captured in private settings. To formalize and evaluate these risks, we propose a three-level visual privacy risk framework that categorizes image content based on contextual sensitivity and potential for location inference. We further introduce DoxBench, a curated dataset of 500 real-world images reflecting diverse privacy scenarios. Our evaluation across 11 advanced MLRMs and MLLMs demonstrates that these models consistently outperform non-expert humans in geolocation inference and can effectively leak location-related private information. This significantly lowers the barrier for adversaries to obtain users' sensitive geolocation information. We further analyze and identify two primary factors contributing to this vulnerability: (1) MLRMs exhibit strong reasoning capabilities by leveraging visual clues in combination with their internal world knowledge; and (2) MLRMs frequently rely on privacy-related visual clues for inference without any built-in mechanisms to suppress or avoid such usage. To better understand and demonstrate real-world attack feasibility, we propose GeoMiner, a collaborative attack framework that decomposes the prediction process into two stages: clue extraction and reasoning to improve geolocation performance while introducing a novel attack perspective. Our findings highlight the urgent need to reassess inference-time privacy risks in MLRMs to better protect users' sensitive information.
