arXiv:2510. 10982v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent AI regulations increasingly emphasize the need for mechanisms that preserve the utility of data for AI innovation while preventing misuse, particularly by enforcing purpose limitation in downstream AI applications.
arXiv:2505. 19840v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have achieved widespread success yet remain prone to adversarial attacks.
arXiv:2504. 14798v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Machine Unlearning (MUL) has emerged as a key mechanism for privacy protection and content regulation, yet current techniques often fail to guarantee the complete removal of sensitive information.
arXiv:2607. 12354v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we challenge the prevailing view that information dependency (including rote memorization) drives training data exposure to image reconstruction attacks.
Once visual content enters an AI pipeline, its owner often retains little technical control over how it is used. Legal and regulatory remedies can address misuse, but many technical interventions must be applied earlier, when content is released or accessed.
arXiv:2507. 01752v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Gradient-based optimization is the workhorse of deep learning, offering efficient and scalable training via backpropagation.
arXiv:2607. 13541v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: To overcome data scarcity and privacy constraints in data collection, it has become standard practice across academia and industry to augment real training data with text-to-image (T2I)-generated synthetic data, a paradigm we term Real-Synthetic Mix-Training (RSMT).
The paper introduces Dynamic Semantic Steering (DSS), a training‑free, inference‑time defense for robust concept erasure in text‑to‑image diffusion models. DSS models local semantic neighborhoods geometrically, automatically identifies benign semantic anchors, and applies context‑aware, constrained feature correction using cross‑attention signals. Experiments show DSS achieves an average erasure rate of 91.0%, outperforming prior defenses while reducing semantic drift and preserving generation fidelity.
The paper investigates how tokenization can undermine post‑release guarantees that sensitive knowledge has been edited or unlearned from open‑weight large language models. By showing that alternative valid tokenizations can bypass localized modifications, the authors introduce Toketive, a reference‑free attack that detects modified knowledge and reconstructs pre‑edit responses using only the released model. Experiments on five LLMs, six datasets, and six editing techniques reveal that 38.6% of alternative tokenizations recover suppressed information, with Toketive achieving high detection and reconstruction accuracy.

arXiv:2506. 03933v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision Language Models (VLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in multimodal understanding, yet their susceptibility to adversarial perturbations poses a significant threat to their reliability in real-world applications.
arXiv:2509. 23689v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Model Merging (MM) has proven to be an effective alternative to multi-task learning, where several fine-tuned models are merged, without access to the tasks' training data, into one model that retains performance across different tasks.
arXiv:2512. 14751v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Finetuning pretrained large language models (LLMs) has become the standard paradigm for developing downstream applications.
