Interpretable but Fragile? Robustness of Concept Bottlenecks under Geometric-Semantic Perturbations

Sep 29, 2026

This study addresses the ongoing debate regarding whether Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) enhance robustness by constructing a generative evaluation framework that systematically compares CBMs with standard classifiers under geometric and semantic perturbations. By disentangling robustness concepts from perturbation types and integrating randomized smoothing certification with latent space sensitivity analysis, this work proposes a controlled comparison paradigm to reconcile contradictory findings in existing literature. The results demonstrate that interpretability does not inherently confer robustness; rather, it redistributes model sensitivity, indicating that the two constitute fundamentally independent optimization objectives. Ultimately, this research clarifies the trade-off mechanisms between interpretability and robustness, providing a theoretical foundation for the design of trustworthy AI systems.

LAD-COD: Language-Aligned Dense Perception for Camouflaged Object Detection

Aug 08, 2026

This work addresses the challenge of camouflaged object detection, where high similarity between foreground and background and weak boundary cues hinder accurate segmentation. To this end, the authors propose the LAD-COD framework, which introduces a novel Language-Aligned Dual Visual Fusion (LADVF) mechanism. This mechanism propagates language-instruction-guided semantic information to the image patch level and aligns it with low-level dense visual features, enabling synergistic optimization between semantic guidance and fine structural perception. Additionally, a trainable hierarchical visual branch is incorporated to extract camouflage-sensitive features, and a residual gating mechanism fuses multi-source information effectively. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance across all 12 dataset–metric combinations on three major benchmarks: CAMO, COD10K, and NC4K.
