WavInWav: Time-domain Speech Hiding via Invertible Neural Networkcs.AI updates on arXiv.org arXiv:2510.02915v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Data hiding is essential for secure communication across digital media, and recent advances in Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) provide enhanced methods for embedding secret information effectively. However, previous audio hiding methods often result in unsatisfactory quality when recovering secret audio, due to their inherent limitations in the modeling of time-frequency relationships. In this paper, we explore these limitations and introduce a new DNN-based approach. We use a flow-based invertible neural network to establish a direct link between stego audio, cover audio, and secret audio, enhancing the reversibility of embedding and extracting messages. To address common issues from time-frequency transformations that degrade secret audio quality during recovery, we implement a time-frequency loss on the time-domain signal. This approach not only retains the benefits of time-frequency constraints but also enhances the reversibility of message recovery, which is vital for practical applications. We also add an encryption technique to protect the hidden data from unauthorized access. Experimental results on the VCTK and LibriSpeech datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms previous approaches in terms of subjective and objective metrics and exhibits robustness to various types of noise, suggesting its utility in targeted secure communication scenarios.

A Coding Implementation to Build a Transformer-Based Regression Language Model to Predict Continuous Values from TextMarkTechPost We will build a Regression Language Model (RLM), a model that predicts continuous numerical values directly from text sequences in this coding implementation. Instead of classifying or generating text, we focus on training a transformer-based architecture that learns quantitative relationships hidden within natural language descriptions. We start by generating synthetic text-to-number data, tokenizing it efficiently,

Real-Time Intelligence in Microsoft Fabric: The Ultimate GuideTowards Data Science Once upon a time, handling streaming data was considered an avant-garde approach. Since the introduction of relational database management systems in the 1970s and traditional data warehousing systems in the late 1980s, all data workloads began and ended with the so-called batch processing. Batch processing relies on the concept of collecting numerous tasks in a group (or batch)

Is It Thinking or Cheating? Detecting Implicit Reward Hacking by Measuring Reasoning Effortcs.AI updates on arXiv.org arXiv:2510.01367v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Reward hacking, where a reasoning model exploits loopholes in a reward function to achieve high rewards without solving the intended task, poses a significant threat. This behavior may be explicit, i.e. verbalized in the model’s chain-of-thought (CoT), or implicit, where the CoT appears benign thus bypasses CoT monitors. To detect implicit reward hacking, we propose TRACE (Truncated Reasoning AUC Evaluation). Our key observation is that hacking occurs when exploiting the loophole is easier than solving the actual task. This means that the model is using less `effort’ than required to achieve high reward. TRACE quantifies effort by measuring how early a model’s reasoning becomes sufficient to pass a verifier. We progressively truncate a model’s CoT at various lengths, force the model to answer, and measure the verifier-passing rate at each cutoff. A hacking model, which takes a shortcut, will achieve a high passing rate with only a small fraction of its CoT, yielding a large area under the accuracy-vs-length curve. TRACE achieves over 65% gains over our strongest 72B CoT monitor in math reasoning, and over 30% gains over a 32B monitor in coding. We further show that TRACE can discover unknown loopholes during training. Overall, TRACE offers a scalable unsupervised approach for oversight where current monitoring methods prove ineffective.
