Feature Engineering Is the Bottleneck: An Explainability Study of ML-Based Security-Relevant Method Detection

This paper demonstrates through the WEAVE tool and SHAP-based explainability that machine learning models for detecting security-relevant methods fail on unseen code not due to poor model selection, but because they rely on unstable surface features like identifiers and signatures, identifying feature engineering as the true bottleneck in achieving robust detection.

Retrieval Free Context Augmentation for Image Captioning: Learning from Self-Generated Beam Hypotheses

The paper introduces CAG-Cap, a retrieval-free framework that enhances image captioning by leveraging self-generated beam hypotheses as auxiliary sequence-level supervision during training, thereby improving model performance on benchmarks like MS COCO and Flickr30k without requiring external retrieval or additional inference-time parameters.

VisText-VLM2Plastic: A Bilingual Benchmark for Visual Grounding and Environmental Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

This paper introduces VisText-VLM2Plastic, a bilingual English–Bangla benchmark for plastic-waste visual grounding and environmental reasoning, revealing that while state-of-the-art vision-language models achieve high recognition accuracy, they exhibit significant performance gaps between languages and varying reliance on visual evidence across different task types.
