Speculative Safety Honeypot: Toward Proactive Defense Against Multi-turn Agent Attacks

ICML 2026poster

As Large Language Model (LLM) agents are increasingly deployed in complex environments, multi-turn interaction attacks have become a significant security challenge. Existing detection methods typically rely on historical context. However, this retrospective logic struggles to identify deep malicious…

Causally Motivated Sycophancy Mitigation for Large Language Models

ICLR 2025poster

Incorporating user preferences into large language models (LLMs) can enhance the personalization and reliability of model outputs and facilitate the application of LLMs to real-world scenarios. However, leveraging user preferences can be a double-edged sword. Recent studies have found that improper…

Amend to Alignment: Decoupled Prompt Tuning for Mitigating Spurious Correlation in Vision-Language Models

ICML 2024poster

Fine-tuning the learnable prompt for a pre-trained vision-language model (VLM), such as CLIP, has demonstrated exceptional efficiency in adapting to a broad range of downstream tasks. Existing prompt tuning methods for VLMs do not distinguish spurious features introduced by biased training data from…

Causally Motivated Personalized Federated Invariant Learning with Shortcut-Averse Information-Theoretic Regularization

ICML 2024poster

Exploiting invariant relations and mitigating spurious correlation (a.k.a., shortcut) between representation and target across varied data distributions can tackle the challenging out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization problem. In personalized federated learning (PFL), heterogeneous data distribut…

Learning Personalized Causally Invariant Representations for Heterogeneous Federated Clients

ICLR 2024poster

Personalized federated learning (PFL) has gained great success in tackling the scenarios where target datasets are heterogeneous across the local clients. However, the application of the existing PFL methods to real-world setting is hindered by the common assumption that the test data on each client…
