Decomposing Extrapolative Problem Solving: Spatial Transfer and Length Scaling with Map Worlds

ICLR 2026poster

Someone who learns to walk shortest paths in New York can, upon receiving a map of Paris, immediately apply the same rule to navigate, despite never practicing there. This ability to recombine known rules to solve novel problems exemplifies compositional generalization (CG), a hallmark of human cogn…

SeedPrints: Fingerprints Can Even Tell Which Seed Your Large Language Model Was Trained From

ICLR 2026poster

Fingerprinting Large Language Models (LLMs) is essential for provenance verification and model attribution. Existing methods typically extract post-hoc signatures based on training dynamics, data exposure, or hyperparameters—properties that only emerge after training begins. In contrast, we propose…

A spectrum-enhanced attention model for semantic segmentation of remote sensing images

ICASSP 2025accepted

Semantic segmentation of remote sensing images (RSIs) is essential for applications such as environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and their variants struggle to capture comprehensive spectral context for learning discriminative repres…

Cut the Deadwood Out: Backdoor Purification via Guided Module Substitution

EMNLP 2025

Model NLP models are commonly trained (or fine-tuned) on datasets from untrusted platforms like HuggingFace, posing significant risks of data poisoning attacks. A practical yet underexplored challenge arises when such backdoors are discovered after model deployment, making retraining-required defens

How much of my dataset did you use? Quantitative Data Usage Inference in Machine Learning

ICLR 2025oral

How much of my data was used to train a machine learning model? This is a critical question for data owners assessing the risk of unauthorized usage of their data to train models. However, previous work mistakenly treats this as a binary problem—inferring whether all-or-none or any-or-none of the da…

The Stronger the Diffusion Model, the Easier the Backdoor: Data Poisoning to Induce Copyright BreachesWithout Adjusting Finetuning Pipeline

ICML 2024oral

The commercialization of text-to-image diffusion models (DMs) brings forth potential copyright concerns. Despite numerous attempts to protect DMs from copyright issues, the vulnerabilities of these solutions are underexplored. In this study, we formalized the Copyright Infringement Attack on generat…
