Statistical Adversaries: Natural Backdoor-like Features in Vision Datasets
Model-specific adversarial attacks have been extensively studied. We study a different failure mode: naturally occurring statistical signals in vision data that can behave like backdoor-like triggers without being maliciously inserted.

Generating Medical Image Counterfactuals using Causal Explanations
The paper introduces a new framework for generating medical image counterfactuals that does not rely on auxiliary generative models. By extracting causal evidence directly from a classifier, the method deterministically produces edits within user-specified regions, requiring no additional training. Experiments on real-world medical imaging datasets show that these counterfactuals alter classifier predictions while staying closer to the original image than generative baselines, offering a clearer view of the model’s decision boundary.

Why Does Robustness Reduce Superposition?
The paper investigates why robustness training reduces superposition in neural networks. It builds on prior work showing that adversarial examples stem from superposition and that adversarial training diminishes it, but offers no mechanistic explanation. The authors provide an empirical account linking the abandonment of non‑robust features during adversarial training to a reduced number of features overall, thereby lowering superposition.
