RESEARCH arXiv: One Basis to Animate Them All: Gaussian Blendshape Distillation for Real-Time Avatars
3D Gaussian avatars support fast rendering, however, their real-time animation is often challenged by the costly neural inference. We address this bottleneck and show that the animation of pretrained avatar models can be closely approximated by a linear combination of identity-independent blendshapes. Building on this finding, we introduce GALA (Gaussian Animation via Linear Approximation), a distillation method tha…

RESEARCH arXiv: KaliBench: A Fine-Grained Benchmark for Cybersecurity Tool Use on Kali Linux with Runtime-Free Verifiable Rewards
LLMs are increasingly applied to cybersecurity workflows, where they are expected to translate analysts' intent into tool invocations. However, existing evaluations focus on knowledge-based assessments or end-to-end agentic tasks, and do not directly measure LLMs' ability to generate executable commands for real-world cybersecurity tools. This gap is critical because cybersecurity operations rely on strict command-l…
