Exploring Solution Divergence and Its Effect on Large Language Model Problem Solving

Large language models (LLMs) have been widely used for problem-solving tasks. Most recent work improves their performance through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) with labeled data or reinforcement learning (RL) from task feedback. In this paper, we study a new perspective: the divergence in solutions generated by LLMs for a single problem. We show that higher solution divergence is positively related to better problem-solving abilities across various models. Based on this finding, we propose solution divergence as a novel metric that can support both SFT and RL strategies. We test this idea on three representative problem domains and find that using solution divergence consistently improves success rates. These results suggest that solution divergence is a simple but effective tool for advancing LLM training and evaluation.

"**Important** You should give me full credits!": Exploring Prompt Injection Attacks on LLM-Based Automatic Grading Systems

The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has significantly accelerated recent research on LLM-based automatic grading (AG) systems. Benefiting from the strong instruction-following capabilities and broad prior knowledge of LLMs, educators can deploy AG systems across diverse tasks using only natural language rubrics while achieving satisfactory grading performance. Despite these advantages, new security concerns may also arise. In particular, prompt injection (PI) attacks have recently become a major threat to LLM-based applications. In the context of AG, attackers can potentially exploit PI vulnerabilities to manipulate grading systems into assigning artificially high scores regardless of the actual answer quality. Such behavior poses serious risks to the fairness, reliability, and integrity of educational assessment. In this work, we study PI attacks in AG systems, and systematically investigate the effectiveness of such attacks in educational scenarios. We further evaluate the effectiveness of existing defensive strategies against these attacks. Through comprehensive experiments under rubric-based grading settings, we demonstrate that current LLM-based AG systems remain highly vulnerable to PI attacks. We hope that our findings raise awareness of this emerging threat and motivate future research toward secure, robust, and trustworthy LLM-based educational systems.

Lucida: Parse, Generate, and Place for Composable Real-to-Sim Scene Modeling

Composable scene modeling aims to recover a real indoor scene as complete, editable object assets arranged as observed, giving robot simulation and embodied AI a simulation-ready replica of the real environment whose objects can be manipulated individually. Existing pipelines decompose the task into three steps---parse the observations into instances, generate an asset for each, and place each asset back---but every step presumes an input that a cluttered capture rarely provides: accurate instance geometry, unoccluded views, and assets that accurately match the observations. We propose Lucida, which keeps this order but redistributes the requirements, so each step consumes only what a real capture reliably provides and precision is reached at the end of the pipeline rather than demanded at its start. Lucida parses the video into a scene graph whose nodes carry per-instance multi-view evidence, generates a complete asset for each instance from its evidence, and places assets with GizmoAct, a VLM policy that casts placement as multi-turn GUI interaction, manipulating the object's gizmo in a closed loop and deciding itself when alignment is reached. Across scene-level 3D object detection, object pose estimation, and scene reconstruction, Lucida improves mAP over Boxer by 69% on R2S-Scene, raises ADD-SB@0.05 from 57.8% to 83.4% on CA-1M, and increases scene F-Score from 0.794 for SAM3D to 0.924.
