Mitigating Safety Fallback in Editing-based Backdoor Injection on LLMs

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance across natural language tasks, but remain vulnerable to backdoor attacks. Recent model editing-based approaches enable efficient backdoor injection by directly modifying parameters to map specific triggers to attacker-desired responses. Howe…

PortfolioPilot: An Agentic Platform for Financial Portfolio Management Algorithm Development and Evaluation

AAAI 2026technical

Developing new portfolio-management algorithms typically demands substantial programming effort, limiting rapid experimentation and excluding finance professionals without coding skills. Current robo-advisory tools offer pre-built but rigid strategies, restricting customization and experimentation.

Causal Inference over Visual-Semantic-Aligned Graph for Image Classification

AAAI 2025technical

Incorporating tagging information to regularize the representation learning of images usually leads to improved performance in image classification by aligning the visual features with the textual ones of higher discriminative power. Existing methods typically follow the predictive approach, which u…

Curriculum Conditioned Diffusion for Multimodal Recommendation

AAAI 2025technical

Multimodal recommendation (MMRec) aims to integrate multimodal information of items to address the inherent data sparsity issue in collaborative-based recommendation. Traditional MMRec methods typically capture the structure-level item representations from the observed user behaviors within the mult…

SeeDRec: Sememe-based Diffusion for Sequential Recommendation

IJCAI 2024poster

Inspired by the power of Diffusion Models (DM) verified in various fields, some pioneering works have started to explore DM in recommendation. However, these prevailing endeavors commonly implement diffusion on item indices, leading to the increasing time complexity, the lack of transferability, and…
