The paper presents a cumulative turn‑based risk assessment framework for detecting financial scams targeting older adults, which aggregates conversational turns and updates risk estimates at each step. A multi‑turn dialogue dataset covering investment, charity, and tech support scams is created, with annotations for risk level, score, rationale, and safety recommendation at every cumulative stage. Four small language models (Phi‑4, LLaMA‑3.2, DeepSeek‑R1, Qwen3) are fine‑tuned; Phi‑4 and LLaMA‑3.2 outperform others in turn‑aware risk estimation, demonstrating that compact models can effectively support incremental scam detection in resource‑constrained, privacy‑aware deployments.

arXiv:2607. 23496v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Safety-aligned large language models are trained to refuse harmful requests, yet embedding the same requests in particular scenarios can bypass their safeguards.
Safety-aligned large language models are trained to refuse harmful requests, yet embedding the same requests in particular scenarios can bypass their safeguards. Existing red-teaming methods empirically identify effective scenarios through observed attack outcomes, but why particular scenarios weaken refusal remains mechanistically unclear.

arXiv:2509. 20324v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is an emerging approach in natural language processing that combines large language models (LLMs) with external document retrieval to produce more accurate and grounded responses.
The paper proposes a methodological framework to assess large language models (LLMs) as surrogate experts in security surveys, particularly for Security Operations Centres (SOCs). By comparing persona-based and aggregate LLM-generated responses to real SOC professional data, the study evaluates stability, inter-model agreement, and alignment with human answers. Findings reveal that while LLMs produce internally consistent responses, they systematically diverge from experts, showing reduced variance, central tendency bias, and homogenised opinions, indicating they are suitable for piloting and hypothesis generation but not for replacing expert elicitation.
