Semantic Watermarking with Order-Robust Detection over Sub-sentence Units

Abdulrahman Diaa, Jonathan Petit, Florian Kerschbaum

Semantic watermarks tie the mark to sentence meaning rather than token choices, promising robustness to content-preserving edits. However, the detector only observes attacker-suppl…

ZipPIR: High-throughput Single-server PIR without Client-side Storage

Rasoul Akhavan Mahdavi, Abdulrahman Diaa, Florian Kerschbaum

Private Information Retrieval (PIR) allows a client to privately access a database without revealing which element is accessed. Initial PIR protocols based on Ring Learning with Er…

Backdooring Bias in Large Language Models

Anudeep Das, Prach Chantasantitam, Gurjot Singh +3

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in settings where inducing a bias toward a certain topic can have significant consequences, and backdoor attacks can be used…

On the Trade-Off Between Transparency and Security in Adversarial Machine Learning

Lucas Fenaux, Christopher Srinivasa, Florian Kerschbaum

Transparency and security are both central to Responsible AI, but they may conflict in adversarial settings. We investigate the strategic effect of transparency for agents through…

ABC: Achieving Better Control of Multimodal Embeddings using VLMs

Benjamin Schneider, Florian Kerschbaum, Wenhu Chen

Visual embedding models excel at zero-shot tasks like visual retrieval and classification. However, these models cannot be used for tasks that contain ambiguity or require user ins…

SilentWood: Efficient Private Inference Over Gradient-Boosting Decision Forests

Ronny Ko, Abdelkarim Kati, Robin Geelen +8

Gradient boosting decision forests, used by XGBoost or AdaBoost, offer higher accuracy and lower training times than decision trees on large datasets. Private inference protocols f…
