Alignment, interpretability, red-teaming, bias and privacy: the research on what these systems do when they misbehave.
arXiv:2608. 02774v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI verification crosses a trust boundary: a verifier must learn enough to establish an authorized claim, yet the same evidence can reveal sensitive details about the model, workload, or hardware.
arXiv:2608. 02820v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chain-of-thought (CoT) monitoring is an increasingly important component of AI safety stacks but relies on the assumption that a model's reasoning trace is informative about its actions.
arXiv:2608. 03691v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly used to translate webpage screenshots into front-end code, but repeated UI patterns may sway them toward visually incorrect yet pattern-consistent outputs.
arXiv:2510. 22014v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Discrete optimization-based jailbreaking attacks on large language models aim to generate short, nonsensical suffixes that, when appended onto input prompts, elicit disallowed content.
arXiv:2608. 03461v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Decomposition-based Programming-by-example (PBE) scales performance by splitting tasks into subtasks that a learned synthesizer solves: a decomposer predicts intermediate subgoals, and a synthesizer generates programs conditioned on them.
arXiv:2605. 13801v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As generative AI models such as large language models (LLMs) become more pervasive, ensuring the safety, robustness, and overall trustworthiness of these systems is paramount.
arXiv:2608. 02673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Speech editing for content creation requires precise control over both what an edit should do and where it should apply.
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to detect unsafe content. A common approach is to combine judgments from a panel of models to correct individual mistakes, but this benefit may disappear when every model sees the same misleading context before voting.
High-quality driving data are essential for autonomous-driving systems and generative world models. However, rare and safety-critical scenarios involving adverse weather, braking under low tire--road friction, and uneven road geometry are costly and risky to collect at scale.
Fine-tuning enables a source model to acquire desired capabilities and behaviors in a target domain while retaining much of its general-purpose competence. However, this adaptation process can also degrade alignment properties that were present in the source model.
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.
We present string2string Studio, an interactive in-browser platform for string-to-string analysis across natural language processing, computational biology, and the digital humanities. The system integrates six main modules (alignment, distance, similarity, search, generation metrics, and BLAST homology search), operating at character, word, token, line, and residue levels.
Many critical reasoning tasks, including clinical diagnosis, legal judgment, and industrial fault diagnosis, require step-dependent causal chains in which early errors propagate and correct conclusions can mask invalid reasoning. Although large language models perform well on such tasks, privacy, latency, and controllability motivate distillation into locally deployable models.
AI-assisted peer review is increasingly discussed and adopted as a tool to support the scientific publishing process, yet there is little systematic understanding of how publication venues regulate its use or of how capable current AI review systems are. We address these questions by first surveying reviewer-facing AI policies across 111 leading AI/NLP conferences and medical journals, revealing substantial regulation differences between the two communities.
Shieldstral introduces a 3B open-weights multimodal safety classifier that outperforms models up to 7x its size.
Recent advances in persistent personal-agent frameworks are making human-centered agent networks realistic deployment targets: each user can be served by an AI agent that acts on the user's behalf, maintains state, and communicates with other agents through social and task relations. In these networks, everyday tool use becomes multi-party owned-agent collaboration over personal workspaces, where files, records, tools, and policies are not directly visible across owners.
Existing object detection methods predominantly utilize sRGB inputs, which are compressed from RAW sensor data using Image Signal Processors (ISP) originally designed for visualization purposes. Compared to RGB images, RAW images possess favorable noise characteristics and richer information representation, which are crucial for object detection, particularly under challenging conditions such as adverse weather or low-light environments.
Large language model-based multi-agent systems (LLM-MAS) are designed through roles, debate protocols, and aggregation rules. These choices create implicit social expectations: agents may be expected to trust, challenge, defer to, or collaborate with peers.
Federated learning (FL) enables aircraft fleet operators to jointly train remaining-useful-life (RUL) models from engine sensor telemetry without sharing raw data. This study examines two complementary challenges: benign heterogeneity, where honest operators observe different operating conditions and fault modes, and adversarial heterogeneity, where compromised operators submit poisoned updates.
Dataset distillation compresses a large training set into a compact synthetic set while retaining its downstream utility. Most existing methods target randomly initialized networks, whereas modern vision systems often adapt frozen pretrained encoders with lightweight modules.
