arXiv:2502. 16167v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models (DMs) have advanced text-to-image (T2I) synthesis, yet their personalization capabilities raise serious privacy and copyright concerns.
The paper investigates how Vision Language Models (VLMs) can be fooled by tiny, 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 interpretations. Experiments on open‑source VLMs such as Qwen2.5‑VL, Granite‑Vision, FastVLM, and Phi‑3.5‑Vision demonstrate that these small perturbations can dramatically alter the models’ textual outputs.

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 introduces AIM, a two‑stage approach for unlearning identity‑specific information from multimodal large language models (MLLMs) when retain images are not available at deletion time. AIM first anchors an identity‑forgetting target using a universal visual prompt, then aligns the vision encoder to this target under a Fisher‑based constraint. Experiments demonstrate that AIM effectively removes identity knowledge while preserving other visual perception capabilities and prior knowledge.

While Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs), represented by LLaVA and GPT-4V, have demonstrated remarkable capabilities, their visual inputs remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks, posing significant security risks. Existing defense methods predominantly target single-task scenarios (e.
