CAST-LUT: Tokenizer-Guided HSV Look-Up Tables for Purple Flare Removal

Purple flare, a diffuse chromatic aberration artifact commonly found around highlight areas, severely degrades the tone transition and color of the image. Existing traditional methods are based on hand-crafted features, which lack flexibility and rely entirely on fixed priors, while the scarcity of paired training data critically hampers deep learning. To address this issue, we propose a novel network built upon decoupled HSV Look-Up Tables (LUTs). The method aims to simplify color correction by adjusting the Hue (H), Saturation (S), and Value (V) components independently. This approach resolves the inherent color coupling problems in traditional methods. Our model adopts a two-stage architecture: First, a Chroma-Aware Spectral Tokenizer (CAST) converts the input image from RGB space to HSV space and independently encodes the Hue (H) and Value (V) channels into a set of semantic tokens describing the Purple flare status; second, the HSV-LUT module takes these tokens as input and dynamically generates independent correction curves (1D-LUTs) for the three channels H, S, and V. To effectively train and validate our model, we built the first large-scale purple flare dataset with diverse scenes. We also proposed new metrics and a loss function specifically designed for this task. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our model not only significantly outperforms existing methods in visual effects but also achieves state-of-the-art performance on all quantitative metrics.

Degradation Frequency Curve: An Explicit Frequency-Quantified Representation for All-in-One Image Restoration

A fundamental difficulty in all-in-one blind image restoration is that degradation is usually treated as an implicit factor hidden in degraded-to-clean mapping, rather than as an explicit object that can be measured and manipulated. This limitation becomes more pronounced under mixed, compound, or unseen degradation conditions, where degradation effects are hard to assign to predefined labels or task-specific parameters. We propose the Degradation Frequency Curve (DFC), a structured spectral representation that quantifies degradation responses by measuring band-wise residual-to-degraded energy ratios in the frequency domain. DFC converts visually entangled and hard-to-describe degradation effects into a measurable degradation coordinate space. Moreover, DFC can be adaptively decomposed into band-wise spectral tokens, allowing local degradation responses to be represented as reusable restoration priors. Based on this representation, we develop the DFC-guided Image Restorer (DFC-IR), a token-conditioned multi-scale framework that progressively estimates DFCs from intermediate restorations and uses the resulting spectral tokens to guide degradation-aware restoration in a coarse-to-fine manner. Extensive experiments on standard, composite, unseen, and real-world degradation benchmarks show that DFC provides an effective representation basis for all-in-one restoration, leading to state-of-the-art performance and improved generalization under complex degradation profiles.

How to Backdoor the Knowledge Distillation

Knowledge distillation has become a cornerstone in modern machine learning systems, celebrated for its ability to transfer knowledge from a large, complex teacher model to a more efficient student model. Traditionally, this process is regarded as secure, assuming the teacher model is clean. This belief stems from conventional backdoor attacks relying on poisoned training data with backdoor triggers and attacker-chosen labels, which are not involved in the distillation process. Instead, knowledge distillation uses the outputs of a clean teacher model to guide the student model, inherently preventing recognition or response to backdoor triggers as intended by an attacker. In this paper, we challenge this assumption by introducing a novel attack methodology that strategically poisons the distillation dataset with adversarial examples embedded with backdoor triggers. This technique allows for the stealthy compromise of the student model while maintaining the integrity of the teacher model. Our innovative approach represents the first successful exploitation of vulnerabilities within the knowledge distillation process using clean teacher models. Through extensive experiments conducted across various datasets and attack settings, we demonstrate the robustness, stealthiness, and effectiveness of our method. Our findings reveal previously unrecognized vulnerabilities and pave the way for future research aimed at securing knowledge distillation processes against backdoor attacks.

Knowledge Distillation for Temporal Knowledge Graph Reasoning with Large Language Models

Reasoning over temporal knowledge graphs (TKGs) is fundamental to improving the efficiency and reliability of intelligent decision-making systems and has become a key technological foundation for future artificial intelligence applications. Despite recent progress, existing TKG reasoning models typically rely on large parameter sizes and intensive computation, leading to high hardware costs and energy consumption. These constraints hinder their deployment on resource-constrained, low-power, and distributed platforms that require real-time inference. Moreover, most existing model compression and distillation techniques are designed for static knowledge graphs and fail to adequately capture the temporal dependencies inherent in TKGs, often resulting in degraded reasoning performance. To address these challenges, we propose a distillation framework specifically tailored for temporal knowledge graph reasoning. Our approach leverages large language models as teacher models to guide the distillation process, enabling effective transfer of both structural and temporal reasoning capabilities to lightweight student models. By integrating large-scale public knowledge with task-specific temporal information, the proposed framework enhances the student model's ability to model temporal dynamics while maintaining a compact and efficient architecture. Extensive experiments on multiple publicly available benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms strong baselines, achieving a favorable trade-off between reasoning accuracy, computational efficiency, and practical deployability.
