Learning to Ask: When LLM Agents Meet Unclear Instruction

EMNLP 2025

Equipped with the capability to call functions, modern LLM agents can leverage external tools for addressing a range of tasks unattainable through language skills alone. However, the effective execution of these tools relies heavily not just on the advanced capabilities of LLM agents but also on pre

SlideCoder: Layout-aware RAG-enhanced Hierarchical Slide Generation from Design

EMNLP 2025

Manual slide creation is labor-intensive and requires expert prior knowledge. Existing natural language-based LLM generation methods struggle to capture the visual and structural nuances of slide designs. To address this, we formalize the Reference Image to Slide Generation task and propose Slide2Co

Where Fact Ends and Fairness Begins: Redefining AI Bias Evaluation through Cognitive Biases

EMNLP 2025

Recent failures such as Google Gemini generating people of color in Nazi-era uniforms illustrate how AI outputs can be factually plausible yet socially harmful. AI models are increasingly evaluated for “fairness,” yet existing benchmarks often conflate two fundamentally different dimensions: factual

Curvature-Invariant Adversarial Attacks for 3D Point Clouds

AAAI 2024technical

Imperceptibility is one of the crucial requirements for adversarial examples. Previous adversarial attacks on 3D point cloud recognition suffer from noticeable outliers, resulting in low imperceptibility. We think that the drawbacks can be alleviated via taking the local curvature of the point cloud…

CDTA: A Cross-Domain Transfer-Based Attack with Contrastive Learning

AAAI 2023technical

Despite the excellent performance, deep neural networks (DNNs) have been shown to be vulnerable to adversarial examples. Besides, these examples are often transferable among different models. In other words, the same adversarial example can fool multiple models with different architectures at the sa…

Improving the Transferability of Adversarial Samples by Path-Augmented Method

CVPR 2023poster

Deep neural networks have achieved unprecedented success on diverse vision tasks. However, they are vulnerable to adversarial noise that is imperceptible to humans. This phenomenon negatively affects their deployment in real-world scenarios, especially security-related ones. To evaluate the robustne…

Towards Semantics- and Domain-Aware Adversarial Attacks

IJCAI 2023poster

Language models are known to be vulnerable to textual adversarial attacks, which add human-imperceptible perturbations to the input to mislead DNNs. It is thus imperative to devise effective attack algorithms to identify the deficiencies of DNNs before real-world deployment. However, existing word-l…

Transferable Adversarial Attacks on Vision Transformers With Token Gradient Regularization

CVPR 2023poster

Vision transformers (ViTs) have been successfully deployed in a variety of computer vision tasks, but they are still vulnerable to adversarial samples. Transfer-based attacks use a local model to generate adversarial samples and directly transfer them to attack a target black-box model. The high eff…

VL-PET: Vision-and-Language Parameter-Efficient Tuning via Granularity Control

ICCV 2023poster

As the model size of pre-trained language models (PLMs) grows rapidly, full fine-tuning becomes prohibitively expensive for model training and storage. In vision-and-language (VL), parameter-efficient tuning (PET) techniques are proposed to integrate modular modifications (e.g., Adapter) into encode…

Improving the Transferability of Adversarial Samples With Adversarial Transformations

CVPR 2021poster

Although deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved tremendous performance in diverse vision challenges, they are surprisingly susceptible to adversarial examples, which are born of intentionally perturbing benign samples in a human-imperceptible fashion. It thus poses security concerns on the deploy…
