Adversarially Pretrained Transformers may be Universally Robust In-Context Learners

ICLR 2026poster

Adversarial training is one of the most effective adversarial defenses, but it incurs a high computational cost. In this study, we present the first theoretical analysis suggesting that adversarially pretrained transformers can serve as universally robust foundation models, models that can robustly…

Adapter Merging with Centroid Prototype Mapping for Scalable Class-Incremental Learning

CVPR 2025poster

We propose Adapter Merging with Centroid Prototype Mapping (ACMap), an exemplar-free framework for class-incremental learning (CIL) that addresses both catastrophic forgetting and scalability. While existing methods trade-off between inference time and accuracy, ACMap consolidates task-specific adap…

Computational Algebra with Attention: Transformer Oracles for Border Basis Algorithms

NeurIPS 2025poster

Solving systems of polynomial equations, particularly those with finitely many solutions, is a crucial challenge across many scientific fields. Traditional methods like Gröbner and Border bases are fundamental but suffer from high computational costs, which have motivated recent Deep Learning approa…

Learning to compute Gröbner bases

NeurIPS 2024poster

Solving a polynomial system, or computing an associated Gröbner basis, has been a fundamental task in computational algebra. However, it is also known for its notorious doubly exponential time complexity in the number of variables in the worst case. This paper is the first to address the learning of…

Theoretical Understanding of Learning from Adversarial Perturbations

ICLR 2024poster

It is not fully understood why adversarial examples can deceive neural networks and transfer between different networks. To elucidate this, several studies have hypothesized that adversarial perturbations, while appearing as noises, contain class features. This is supported by empirical evidence sho…

Wide Two-Layer Networks can Learn from Adversarial Perturbations

NeurIPS 2024poster

Adversarial examples have raised several open questions, such as why they can deceive classifiers and transfer between different models. A prevailing hypothesis to explain these phenomena suggests that adversarial perturbations appear as random noise but contain class-specific features. This hypothe…
