ModalFidelity: Routing Modalities for Deepfake Detection on a Budget

Deepfakes no longer need to fake a whole video. Generators that read the transcript now alter only the few seconds in which a video's meaning turns, so a forgery hides in a small, unknown fraction of the video. Yet detectors still read every one-second window of both the audio and image streams, spending nearly all of...

A Competing-Hazards Systematization of Loss of Control in Autonomous Agents

A common framework in which each attempt ends in approved completion, safe stopping, scope escape, or continuation is introduced, which formalizes the framework as a discrete-time competing-hazards model and derive escape probability within a retry budget, a model-conditional safe-budget limit, and conditions for estim...

CORE-BREW: LLR-Based Soft Decoding for Robust Multi-Bit LLM Watermarking

Reliable provenance for LLM outputs requires multi-bit watermarks that remain robust under editing while maintaining low false-positive rates. Existing ECC-based LLM watermarks rely on hard-decision decoding, discarding token-level reliability information and limiting robustness under post-generation edits. We propose...

TTMark: Pairwise Distortion-Free Watermarking Beyond Single-Token Entropy

Distortion-free watermarking enables reliable attribution of machine-generated text while preserving output distribution. However, existing methods operate independently on each generated token, making their detection capability fundamentally constrained by the entropy of the next-token distribution. We present Tandem...

OVIG: Optimistic Verification of AI Training Integrity via Gradient Signals

The rapid growth of AI has increased the demand for domain-specific models. Post-training of open-source models offers a more economical way to meet this growing demand, but the cost of accelerator infrastructure often pushes organizations to outsource the process to third-party providers. An untrusted provider may dev...

MCPTox: A Benchmark for Tool Poisoning Attack on Real-World MCP Servers

By providing a standardized interface for LLM agents to interact with external tools, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is quickly becoming a cornerstone of the modern autonomous agent ecosystem. However, it creates novel attack surfaces due to untrusted external tools. While prior work has focused on attacks injected t...

Boosting Adversarial Robustness and Generalization with Dictionary Structure

This work investigates a novel approach to boost adversarial robustness and generalization by incorporating structural prior into the design of deep learning models. Specifically, our study surprisingly reveals that existing dictionary learning-inspired convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are robust against random noi...

Backdoor Mitigation in Decentralized LLM Fine-Tuning

Decentralized large language model (LLM) fine-tuning lets organizations collaboratively train a shared LLM on data they cannot pool, without a central coordinator. In every round, each node exchanges a trainable adapter with its neighbors over a communication graph, and then aggregates them. This setting, however, is v...

AutoMark: Enabling Autoresearch to Discover Better LLM Watermarks

With LLM watermarking being deployed commercially and now required by regulations, improving its reliability and effectiveness has become crucial. Yet, recent progress in the field of LLM watermarking has increasingly been driven by improving details of existing methods, an effort fundamentally limited by the pace of h...

FinRT: Distilling Adaptive Red-Teaming Strategies into Reusable Adversarial Generators in Consumer Finance

In regulated industries like consumer finance, seemingly harmless user queries can exploit large language model vulnerabilities, triggering safety failures and pushing responses dangerously close to policy limits. Existing automated red-teaming methods trade off attack effectiveness against generation cost, while treat...

Privacy-Friendly Cohort Determination: Sealed, CSP-Independent In-Browser ML Inference of Professional Segments for Identity-Less Advertising

B2B advertising targets a viewer's professional attributes (employer size and industry, function, seniority) and has obtained them by matching identities across sites. Safari and Firefox block third-party cookies, Google retired the Privacy Sandbox cohort APIs in 2025, and reverse-IP firmographics decay under remote wo...

Multi-Class, Multi-Tier Network Intrusion Detection: A Comprehensive and Reproducible Benchmark

Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) have dominated Intrusion Detection System (IDS) research in recent years. Unfortunately, many existing studies have produced inflated results and unreliable benchmarks due to critical oversights and mistakes in the ML and DL pipeline, from data collection and labeling to fea...
