The paper introduces a signaling‑game framework to model how individuals strategically misreport behavioral data—such as mask usage and vaccination status—to public health authorities. It provides a generative model of such adversarial data and a method for authorities to recover reliable signals, analyzing equilibrium outcomes and evaluating how deception affects epidemic control. Large‑scale simulations and real‑world validation show that well‑designed sender and receiver strategies can still maintain effective epidemic control even with pervasive dishonesty, and that behavioral distortions often follow structured patterns rather than random noise.

Modelling individual decision-making during infectious disease outbreaks is crucial for understanding behavioural dynamics and informing effective public health interventions. Prior work has shown that large language models can simulate realistic human behaviour by generating agent decisions based on demographic prompts and situational context.

The paper demonstrates that publicly available clinical machine learning models, such as logistic regression (LR), pose significant privacy risks because attackers can recover model parameters and identify training cohorts through various membership inference attacks. The authors show that even small cohorts can be reliably identified and that common practices like cross-validation can worsen the risk. To mitigate this, they propose a quantum-inspired defense that tensorizes discretized models into tensor trains (TTs), which obfuscates parameters, preserves accuracy, and maintains interpretability while providing black‑box protection comparable to Differential Privacy.

The paper introduces a new type of adversarial attack on automated fact‑checking systems that uses large language models to rephrase claims with persuasive techniques. By applying 15 persuasion methods across five categories, the authors evaluate how these rewrites affect claim verification and evidence retrieval on the FEVER and FEVEROUS benchmarks. Results show that persuasive rewrites significantly degrade both verification accuracy and evidence retrieval performance, underscoring the vulnerability of current fact‑checking systems to such attacks.
