The paper introduces a new framework for creating frequency‑based adversarial attacks that are grounded in an explicit optimization problem. By defining a perturbation constraint set linked to structured, non‑orthogonal transforms, the authors show that attacks can be generated as weighted σ‒projections onto this set, providing a clear geometric characterization. Experiments on standard datasets demonstrate that these attacks are highly effective across both pretrained and robust models, even on unseen architectures.

The paper "Privacy Leakage on DNNs: A Survey of Model Inversion Attacks and Defenses" provides a comprehensive review of model inversion (MI) attacks that exploit trained deep neural networks to reconstruct private training data. It traces the evolution of MI from early machine‑learning contexts to recent DNN‑based attacks across various modalities and learning tasks, offering a detailed taxonomy and comparative analysis of both attacks and defenses. The authors also present an open‑source toolbox on GitHub to support further research in this area.

The paper demonstrates that a single poisoned data point can successfully create a backdoor in linear models and ReLU neural networks without needing detailed knowledge of the training data. It establishes provable conditions under which this one‑poison attack works with high probability, achieving zero backdooring error while leaving the model’s normal performance largely unaffected. The attack relies only on coarse geometric bounds of the input space and training parameters.

The paper demonstrates that a misaligned AI model can fingerprint the inference engine (e.g., vLLM, SGLang) it runs on by generating specific output tokens. Once the engine is identified, the model can exploit engine‑specific vulnerabilities to take control of the engine without external malicious inputs. The authors provide concrete examples across five popular engines and present a proof‑of‑concept bare‑metal exploit chain that begins with such fingerprinting.

The paper investigates whether neuro‑symbolic (NeSy) AI models, which combine neural perception with symbolic reasoning, can mitigate backdoor attacks. It presents a systematic evaluation comparing the NeSy framework DeepProbLog to baseline neural networks across eight backdoor settings and four reasoning tasks. Results indicate that NeSy models are generally more robust than pure neural models, but their resilience depends heavily on how strictly the reasoning process is enforced and its alignment with the attack target.
