Efficient and Effective Universal Adversarial Attack against Vision-Language Pre-training Models

ICASSP 2026oral

Vision-language pre-training (VLP) models, trained on large-scale image-text pairs, have become widely used across a variety of downstream vision-and-language (V+L) tasks. This widespread adoption raises concerns about their vulnerability to adversarial attacks. Non-universal adversarial attacks, wh…

MPAS: Breaking Sequential Constraints of Multi-Agent Communication Topologies via Individual-Epistemic Message Propagation

AAAI 2026technical

Large language model (LLM)-driven agents are designed to handle a wide range of tasks autonomously. As tasks become increasingly composite, the integration of multiple agents into a graph-structured system offers a promising solution. Recent advances mainly architect the communication order among ag

Shedding Light on VLN Robustness: A Black-box Framework for Indoor Lighting-based Adversarial Attack

CVPR 2026

Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) agents have made remarkable progress, but their robustness remains insufficiently studied. Existing adversarial evaluations often rely on perturbations that manifest as unusual textures rarely encountered in everyday indoor environments. Errors under such contriv

Adversarial Attacks against Closed-Source MLLMs via Feature Optimal Alignment

NeurIPS 2025poster

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) remain vulnerable to transferable adversarial examples. While existing methods typically achieve targeted attacks by aligning global features—such as CLIP’s [CLS] token—between adversarial and target samples, they often overlook the rich local information enc…

Analogy-based Multi-Turn Jailbreak against Large Language Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) are inherently designed to support multi-turn interactions, which opens up new possibilities for jailbreak attacks that unfold gradually and potentially bypass safety mechanisms more effectively than single-turn attacks. However, current multi-turn jailbreak methods are…

Efficient Universal Goal Hijacking with Semantics-guided Prompt Organization

ACL 2025long

Universal goal hijacking is a kind of prompt injection attack that forces LLMs to return a target malicious response for arbitrary normal user prompts. The previous methods achieve high attack performance while being too cumbersome and time-consuming. Also, they have concentrated solely on optimizat…

Heuristic-Induced Multimodal Risk Distribution Jailbreak Attack for Multimodal Large Language Models

ICCV 2025poster

With the rapid advancement of multimodal large language models (MLLMs), concerns regarding their security have increasingly captured the attention of both academia and industry. Although MLLMs are vulnerable to jailbreak attacks, designing effective jailbreak attacks poses unique challenges, especia…

Improved Techniques for Optimization-Based Jailbreaking on Large Language Models

ICLR 2025poster

Large language models (LLMs) are being rapidly developed, and a key component of their widespread deployment is their safety-related alignment. Many red-teaming efforts aim to jailbreak LLMs, where among these efforts, the Greedy Coordinate Gradient (GCG) attack's success has led to a growing intere…

A Robust Model Predictive Controller for Tactile Servoing

ICRA 2024poster

Tactile servoing is an effective approach to enabling robots to safely interact with unknown environments. One of the core problems in tactile servoing is to robustly converge the contact features to the desired ones via a dedicated controller. This paper proposes a Data-Driven Model Predictive Cont…

Architecture-Agnostic Iterative Black-Box Certified Defense Against Adversarial Patches

ICASSP 2024accepted

The adversarial patch attack aims to fool image classifiers within a bounded, contiguous region of arbitrary changes. To address this problem in a trustworthy way, the certified patch defense methods are proposed. However, the state-of-the-art certified defenses inevitably needed to access the size…
