REER-PT: Reverse-Engineered Reasoning for Perplexity-Guided Pre-training Data Augmentation

Haoran Que, Jiajun Shi, Ting Huang +7

As language-model compute continues to scale, high-quality training data is becoming an increasingly important bottleneck. Conventional next-token prediction supervises what follow…

Correct, Concise and Complete: Multi-stage Training For Adaptive Reasoning

Nathanaël Carraz Rakotonirina, Ren Pang, Neha Anna John +2

The reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) have improved substantially through increased test-time computation, typically in the form of intermediate tokens known a…

Watch the Watcher! Backdoor Attacks on Security-Enhancing Diffusion Models

Changjiang Li, Ren Pang, Bochuan Cao +4

Thanks to their remarkable denoising capabilities, diffusion models are increasingly being employed as defensive tools to reinforce the security of other models, notably in purifyi…

On the Difficulty of Defending Contrastive Learning against Backdoor Attacks

Changjiang Li, Ren Pang, Bochuan Cao +4

Recent studies have shown that contrastive learning, like supervised learning, is highly vulnerable to backdoor attacks wherein malicious functions are injected into target models,…

Model Extraction Attacks Revisited

Jiacheng Liang, Ren Pang, Changjiang Li +1

Model extraction (ME) attacks represent one major threat to Machine-Learning-as-a-Service (MLaaS) platforms by ``stealing'' the functionality of confidential machine-learning model…

Defending Pre-trained Language Models as Few-shot Learners against Backdoor Attacks

Zhaohan Xi, Tianyu Du, Changjiang Li +5

Pre-trained language models (PLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance as few-shot learners. However, their security risks under such settings are largely unexplored. In this…
