The paper investigates whether response safety can be measured by the cosine similarity between a response embedding and the mean embedding of known‑safe responses. Using four frozen encoders and prompt‑controlled datasets, the authors find that a simple prototype (mean safe embedding) performs poorly (ROC‑AUC 0.457‑0.545) while an explicit safe‑minus‑unsafe reference achieves higher scores (0.588‑0.738). The study shows that a class mean is merely a location, not a safety direction, and that a reference with sufficient unsafe mass is needed to orient safety judgments.

The paper investigates how many normal samples are required to reliably set an alarm threshold for few‑shot anomaly detectors, focusing on distribution‑free certification limits. Using a frozen DINOv2 PCA residual ranker on 15 MVTec and 12 VisA categories, the authors show that simple leave‑one‑image‑out calibration is limited by resolution and shift, leading to empirical false‑alarm rates far above the nominal level. They derive a category‑count feasibility calculus, demonstrating that at least 14, 29, and 59 independent category draws are needed for 95% upper confidence bounds at α=0.20, 0.10, and 0.05, and propose the CRESS protocol to split source categories into reference, proposal, and certification roles. whyItMatters":"The study provides concrete numerical thresholds for the amount of source evidence needed to guarantee reliable anomaly detection in new categories, informing practical deployment of few‑shot detectors."
