Evaluating AGENTS.md: Are Repository-Level Context Files Helpful for Coding Agents?

Thibaud Gloaguen, Niels Mündler-Sasahara, Niels Mündler +4

A widespread practice in software development is to tailor coding agents to repositories using context files, such as AGENTS.md. Although this practice is strongly encouraged by ag…

SPEAR:Exact Gradient Inversion of Batches in Federated Learning

Dimitar I. Dimitrov, Maximilian Baader, Mark Niklas Müller +1

Federated learning is a framework for collaborative machine learning where clients only share gradient updates and not their private data with a server. However, it was recently sh…

Evading Data Contamination Detection for Language Models is (too) Easy

Jasper Dekoninck, Mark Niklas Müller, Maximilian Baader +2

Large language models are widespread, with their performance on benchmarks frequently guiding user preferences for one model over another. However, the vast amount of data these mo…

Automated Classification of Model Errors on ImageNet

Momchil Peychev, Mark Niklas Müller, Marc Fischer +1

While the ImageNet dataset has been driving computer vision research over the past decade, significant label noise and ambiguity have made top-1 accuracy an insufficient measure of…

Prompt Sketching for Large Language Models

Luca Beurer-Kellner, Mark Niklas Müller, Marc Fischer +1

Many recent prompting strategies for large language models (LLMs) query the model multiple times sequentially -- first to produce intermediate results and then the final answer. Ho…

Understanding Certified Training with Interval Bound Propagation

Yuhao Mao, Mark Niklas Müller, Marc Fischer +1

As robustness verification methods are becoming more precise, training certifiably robust neural networks is becoming ever more relevant. To this end, certified training methods co…

TAPS: Connecting Certified and Adversarial Training

Yuhao Mao, Mark Niklas Müller, Marc Fischer +1

Training certifiably robust neural networks remains a notoriously hard problem. On one side, adversarial training optimizes under-approximations of the worst-case loss, which leads…

Certified Training: Small Boxes are All You Need

Mark Niklas Müller, Franziska Eckert, Marc Fischer +1

To obtain, deterministic guarantees of adversarial robustness, specialized training methods are used. We propose, SABR, a novel such certified training method, based on the key ins…

Abstract Interpretation of Fixpoint Iterators with Applications to Neural Networks

Mark Niklas Müller, Marc Fischer, Robin Staab +1

We present a new abstract interpretation framework for the precise over-approximation of numerical fixpoint iterators. Our key observation is that unlike in standard abstract inter…
