Machine unlearning is a newly popularized technique for removing specific training data from a trained model, enabling it to comply with data deletion requests. While it protects the rights of users requesting unlearning, it also introduces new privacy risks. Prior works have primarily focused on th
The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into clinical applications presents transformative potential but is undermined by the critical risk of hallucination, the generation of plausible but factually incorrect information. Such failures pose a direct threat to patient safety and the integrit
This paper approaches the fundamental challenge of accelerating the inherently autoregressive nature of gradient descent (GD) like SGD and Adam through a dynamic system perspective. Specifically, we introduce a unified framework that recasts the autoregressive GD process as solving a system of trian…
Long video question answering requires locating sparse, time-scattered visual evidence within highly redundant content. Although current MLLMs perform well on short videos, long videos introduce long-horizon search and verification, which often necessitates multi-turn, agentic interaction. We show t…
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are susceptible to universal adversarial perturbations (UAPs). These perturbations are meticulously designed to fool the target model universally across all sample classes. Unlike instance-specific adversarial examples (AEs), generating UAPs is more complex because they m…
Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed paradigm aimed at protecting participant data privacy by exchanging model parameters to achieve high-quality model training. However, this distributed nature also makes FL highly vulnerable to backdoor attacks. Notably, the recently proposed state-of-the-art…
Direct Prompt Injection (DPI) attacks pose a critical security threat to Large Language Models (LLMs) due to their low barrier of execution and high potential damage. To address the impracticality of existing white-box/gray-box methods and the poor transferability of black-box methods, we propose an
Traditional unlearnable strategies have been proposed to prevent unauthorized users from training on the 2D image data. With more 3D point cloud data containing sensitivity information, unauthorized usage of this new type data has also become a serious concern. To address this, we propose the first…
While deep face recognition (FR) systems have shown amazing performance in identification and verification, they also arouse privacy concerns for their excessive surveillance on users, especially for public face images widely spread on social networks. Recently, some studies adopt adversarial exampl…
