VerTox is a framework that turns corpus poisoning of neural ranking models into a verifiable reward‑guided reinforcement learning problem. By fine‑tuning compact large language models with reward shaping that couples ranking distortion and factual corruption, VerTox generates fluent, low‑perplexity adversarial documents that frequently outrank target items across multiple ranking architectures, including a commercial embedding model. Experiments show near‑perfect attack success and significant degradation of downstream retrieval‑augmented generation performance.

CogniDir is an adaptive distributional learning framework designed to improve fake news detection against new psychologically grounded malicious comments generated by Large Language Models. It reframes robust detection as a dynamic data mixture optimization problem, using cognitive psychology to formalize adversarial paradigms and an information‑theoretic score to guide adaptive sampling of training data. Experiments on three benchmarks show that CogniDir achieves state‑of‑the‑art robustness, boosting F1 scores by up to 17.9% over existing baselines under heterogeneous AI‑generated attacks.

The paper introduces MOSAIC, a large adversarial benchmark for detecting AI-generated text, and presents NeuroStat, a new framework that combines token‑level probabilistic logits with deep semantic hidden states from a single language model. NeuroStat fuses these signals via Macro‑State Residual Modulation and uses orthogonal and contrastive losses to learn complementary representations. Experiments show that NeuroStat outperforms existing methods on MOSAIC, achieving superior robustness against adversarial attacks.

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.
