Semantic Overlays: Mitigating Prompt Injection with Annotations Beyond Tokens and Steering Vectors

This work introduces a general steering technique called Semantic Overlays: small learned adapters applied at chosen prefill positions to a frozen model's residual stream that defends against the broad class of prompt injections that add instructions in untrusted context.

Mixture of Channel Experts: Static Sparse Supports with Input-Adaptive Mixing for Pointwise Projections

This work introduces Mixture of Channel Experts (MoCE), a structured sparse channel-mixing layer, inspired by MoE, that replaces pointwise (1x1) channel-reduction projections and matches or exceeds dense baselines and prior channel-selection methods while reducing MACs by 16.7% and end-to-end latency.

MARS: Multi-Specialist LLM Relay System for Competitive Programming

This work presents MARS (Multi-Agent Relay of Specialized LLMs), a prompt-only framework in which each agent is a topic specialist---dynamic programming, graphs, strings, geometry, and so on---grounded by retrieval-augmented generation over an algorithm-theory corpus.

Towards LLM-Enhanced Android Taint Analysis

Whether off-the-shelf Large Language Models (LLMs) can effectively reason about taint flows in Android apps is investigated, and preliminary findings suggest that LLM reasoning may effectively complement traditional static taint analysis.

'Ghaib in Translation'aka Unseen Harm: Measuring Cross-Script Safety Inconsistency with'Missed-in-Urdu'Scores in LLM Hate Speech Detection

Results indicate that current LLMs provide uneven safety assurance across Urdu's script varieties, with smaller open-weight models showing substantially higher instability and missed-harm rates than frontier closed models.

Q&A: How AI came to model the “messy” human mind

Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
