arXiv:2607. 04145v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adversarial attacks guide and provide additional training and test data for both adversarial training and adversarial robustness validation, and expose the 'piecewise linearity' of deep learning based models.
Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) achieve strong performance on vision-language tasks, but incorporating visual inputs through a vision encoder (e. g.
The paper investigates how Vision Language Models (VLMs) can be fooled by small, human‑imperceptible changes to images. It introduces a gradient‑based attack that targets only the vision encoder, reducing computational cost while still effectively disrupting both untargeted and targeted multimodal alignment. Experiments on open‑source VLMs such as Qwen2.5‑VL, Granite‑Vision, FastVLM, and Phi‑3.5‑Vision demonstrate that these perturbations can significantly alter the models’ textual outputs.

arXiv:2507. 01752v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Gradient-based optimization is the workhorse of deep learning, offering efficient and scalable training via backpropagation.
Gradient Mirage is a defense for large language model split learning that disrupts the assumption that exposed gradients faithfully reflect the client’s full-label training objective, thereby thwarting gradient matching attacks. It introduces inconsistencies across objective, direction, and scale by using selective autoregressive supervision, scale blinding, and directional privatization with a von Mises-Fisher mechanism. The method preserves utility through dual-track backpropagation and bottom-gradient recovery, achieving a stronger privacy‑utility trade‑off in experiments.
