DCVD: Dual-Channel Cross-Modal Fusion for Joint Vulnerability Detection and Localization

Software vulnerability detection plays a critical role in ensuring system security, where real-world auditing requires not only determining whether a function is vulnerable but also pinpointing the specific lines responsible. However, existing approaches either rely on a single information source -- sequential, structural, or semantic -- failing to jointly exploit the complementary strengths across modalities, or treat statement-level localization merely as a byproduct of function-level detection without explicit line-level supervision. To address these limitations, we propose DCVD (Dual-Channel Cross-Modal Vulnerability Detection), a unified framework that performs joint function-level detection and statement-level localization. DCVD extracts control-dependency and semantic features through two parallel branches and integrates them via contrastive alignment coupled with bidirectional cross-attention, effectively bridging the cross-modal representation gap. It further introduces explicit supervision signals at both the function and statement levels, enabling collaborative optimization across the two granularities. Extensive experiments on a large-scale real-world vulnerability benchmark demonstrate that DCVD consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods on both function-level detection and statement-level localization. Our code is available at https://github.com/vinsontang1/DCVD.

Multi-Fidelity Flow Matching: Cascaded Refinement of PDE Solutions

The source distribution in conditional flow matching is a design parameter that can be calibrated to data, not a default isotropic prior. We exploit this in Multi-Fidelity Flow Matching (MFFM), a cascade refinement framework for parametric PDE solutions: the source is calibrated to the empirical low-to-high-fidelity residual scale with local Gaussian-blur correlation, and the velocity network is conditioned on the low-fidelity solution. Conditioning makes the residual refinement problem substantially easier than unconditional field generation, while residual-calibrated source noise improves the flow-matching training geometry. A multi-resolution cascade applies the same construction independently between adjacent fidelities. After level-wise flow-matching pretraining, we fine-tune the composed cascade end-to-end with a deterministic one-step rollout, which makes one velocity evaluation per cascade level the optimized operating point at inference. The result is a learned analog of multigrid refinement that reaches the finest grid in $L$ deterministic network evaluations per query. We validate MFFM on eight benchmarks: two super-resolution problems and six spatiotemporal forecasting tasks from PDEBench, The Well, and the FNO Navier--Stokes dataset.

VulTriage: Triple-Path Context Augmentation for LLM-Based Vulnerability Detection

Automated vulnerability detection is a fundamental task in software security, yet existing learning-based methods still struggle to capture the structural dependencies, domain-specific vulnerability knowledge, and complex program semantics required for accurate detection. Recent Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown strong code understanding ability, but directly prompting them with raw source code often leads to missed vulnerabilities or false alarms, especially when vulnerable and benign functions differ only in subtle semantic details. To address this, we propose VulTriage, a triple-path context augmentation framework for LLM-based vulnerability detection. VulTriage enhances the LLM input through three complementary paths: a Control Path that extracts and verbalizes AST, CFG, and DFG information to expose control and data dependencies; a Knowledge Path that retrieves relevant CWE-derived vulnerability patterns and examples through hybrid dense--sparse retrieval; and a Semantic Path that summarizes the functional behavior of the code before the final judgment. These contexts are integrated into a unified instruction to guide the LLM toward more reliable vulnerability reasoning. Experiments on the PrimeVul pair test set show that VulTriage achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming existing deep learning and LLM-based baselines on key pair-wise and classification metrics. Further ablation studies verify the effectiveness of each path, and additional experiments on the Kotlin dataset demonstrate the generalization ability of VulTriage under low-resource and class-imbalanced settings. Our code is available at https://github.com/vinsontang1/VulTriage

NSSIA: A New Self-Sovereign Identity Scheme with Accountability

Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is a new distributed method for identity management, commonly used to address the problem that users are lack of control over their identities. However, the excessive pursuit of self-sovereignty in the most existing SSI schemes hinders sanctions against attackers. To deal with the malicious behavior, a few SSI schemes introduce accountability mechanisms, but they sacrifice users' privacy. What's more, the digital identities (static strings or updatable chains) in the existing SSI schemes are as inputs to a third-party executable program (mobile app, smart contract, etc.) to achieve identity reading, storing and proving, users' self-sovereignty are weakened. To solve the above problems, we present a new self-sovereign identity scheme to strike a balance between privacy and accountability and get rid of the dependence on the third-party program. In our scheme, one and only individual-specific executable code is generated as a digital avatar-i for each human to interact with others in cyberspace without a third-party program, in which the embedding of biometrics enhances uniqueness and user control over their identity. In addition, a joint accountability mechanism, which is based on the shamir (t, n) threshold algorithm and a consortium blockchain, is designed to restrict the power of each regulatory authority and protect users' privacy. Finally, we analyze the security, SSI properties and conduct detailed experiments in term of the cost of computation, storage and blockchain gas. The analysis results indicate that our scheme resists the known attacks and fulfills all the six SSI properties. Compared with the state-of-the-art schemes, the extensive experiment results show that the cost is larger in server storage, blockchain storage and blockchain gas, but is still low enough for practical situations.

Grain Boundary Serration in Nickel Alloy Inconel 600: Quantification and Mechanisms

The serration of grain boundaries in Inconel 600 caused by heat treatment is studied systematically. A new method based on Fourier transforms is used to analyse the multiple wave-like character of the serrated grain boundaries. A new metric -- the serration index -- is devised and utilised to quantify the degree of serration and more generally to distinguish objectively between serrated and non-serrated boundaries. By considering the variation of the serration index with processing parameters, a causal relationship between degree of serration and solution treatment/cooling rate is elucidated. Processing maps for the degree of serration are presented. Two distinct formation mechanisms arise which rely upon grain boundary interaction with carbides: (i) Zener-type dragging which hinders grain boundary migration and (ii) a faceted carbide growth-induced serration.
