SAGE is a defense against clean‑label data poisoning that relies on a very small set of verified examples—both clean and poisoned—rather than a large clean set. It trains a generic feature extractor on a separate dataset and then uses a non‑parametric, similarity‑weighted prediction to flag poisoned training examples. Experiments on standard benchmarks show that even a handful of verified poisoned examples give a substantial advantage, and that the distribution of verified clean examples across classes is more important than their sheer number.

arXiv:2607. 11956v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data Shapley is the standard principled answer to which training points are worth what, and its k-nearest-neighbor (KNN) specialization is the version deployed in practice: the exact estimator shipped by toolkits such as pyDVL and OpenDataVal.

arXiv:2606. 08372v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Synthetic data is increasingly promoted as a privacy-preserving substitute for releasing sensitive tabular records, yet its central adversarial threat ("reconstruction", the recovery of an individual's hidden attribute values from a synthetic release and a handful of known quasi-identifiers) has been studied only in scattered, hard-to-compare settings.

arXiv:2608. 06012v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Search-agent rewards mix answer quality, citation grounding, tool cost, and anti-hacking terms; a high score therefore need not imply that cited evidence was retrieved, and added penalties can cancel.

arXiv:2608. 01559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adversarial self-play is an appealing recipe for legal reasoning: have a student model draft an argument, have an adversary attack it, and reward the student when its argument survives the attack.
