Any2Critical: Safety-Critical Scenario Generation from Arbitrary Real-World Driving Contexts

AAAI 2026technical

Autonomous driving systems have achieved remarkable capabilities in real-world deployment, yet ensuring safety under corner cases remains a significant challenge due to the scarcity and constrained diversity of safety-critical scenarios. Existing generation methods may either lead to irrational vehi

AdvDreamer Unveils: Are Vision-Language Models Truly Ready for Real-World 3D Variations?

ICCV 2025poster

Vision Language Models (VLMs) have exhibited remarkable generalization capabilities, yet their robustness in dynamic real-world scenarios remains largely unexplored. To systematically evaluate VLMs' robustness to real-world 3D variations, we propose AdvDreamer, the first framework capable of generat…

Breaking the Ceiling: Exploring the Potential of Jailbreak Attacks through Expanding Strategy Space

ACL 2025finding

Large Language Models (LLMs), despite advanced general capabilities, still suffer from numerous safety risks, especially jailbreak attacks that bypass safety protocols. Understanding these vulnerabilities through black-box jailbreak attacks, which better reflect real-world scenarios, offers critical…

Mitigating Overthinking in Large Reasoning Models via Manifold Steering

NeurIPS 2025poster

Recent advances in Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in solving complex tasks such as mathematics and coding. However, these models frequently exhibit a phenomenon known as *overthinking* during inference, characterized by excessive validation loops and redundan…

Towards Transferable Targeted 3D Adversarial Attack in the Physical World

CVPR 2024poster

Compared with transferable untargeted attacks transferable targeted adversarial attacks could specify the misclassification categories of adversarial samples posing a greater threat to security-critical tasks. In the meanwhile 3D adversarial samples due to their potential of multi-view robustness ca…

Towards Viewpoint-Invariant Visual Recognition via Adversarial Training

ICCV 2023poster

Visual recognition models are not invariant to viewpoint changes in the 3D world, as different viewing directions can dramatically affect the predictions given the same object. Although many efforts have been devoted to making neural networks invariant to 2D image translations and rotations, viewpoi…

ViewFool: Evaluating the Robustness of Visual Recognition to Adversarial Viewpoints

NeurIPS 2022accept

Recent studies have demonstrated that visual recognition models lack robustness to distribution shift. However, current work mainly considers model robustness to 2D image transformations, leaving viewpoint changes in the 3D world less explored. In general, viewpoint changes are prevalent in various…
