arXiv:2512. 10485v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vulnerability detection methods based on deep learning (DL) have shown strong performance on benchmark datasets, yet their real-world effectiveness remains underexplored.
arXiv:2606. 26396v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-trained transformers have demonstrated remarkable generalization abilities, at times extending beyond the scope of their training data.
arXiv:2608. 06471v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite recent advances, frontier large language model (LLM) agents remain limited in discovering and patching complex vulnerabilities in real-world software.
arXiv:2609.36612v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unlearning in large language models (LLMs) is typically evaluated at the output level, where a model appears to suppress sensitive or undesirable conte...
arXiv:2609.05794v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-weight large language models face a low-cost white-box threat from representation engineering attacks. Attackers can estimate refusal directions...
arXiv:2608. 05045v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Released aligned large language models remain vulnerable to malicious downstream finetuning.
arXiv:2604.27426v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Local fine-tuning datasets routinely contain sensitive secrets such as API keys, personal identifiers, and financial records. Although "local...
arXiv:2606. 06547v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) refine tokens iteratively but commit them irreversibly, leading to a "stability lag" where early decisions remain fragile even after being written.
The paper introduces Quarantined Expert Shutdown (QES), a new backdoor containment strategy for large language models. QES allows backdoor learning to occur during training but routes it into a designated, quarantined expert that can be disabled at deployment. The method achieves significant reductions in attack success rates while largely preserving model utility.
arXiv:2606. 09548v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) allows a set of clients to collectively train a global model without sharing local training data.
arXiv:2607. 16248v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context large language model inference relies on the KV cache to avoid redundant attention computation, but incurs high memory and bandwidth overheads.
arXiv:2512. 14751v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Finetuning pretrained large language models (LLMs) has become the standard paradigm for developing downstream applications.
