Towards Safe Autonomy for Computer Use

Dominik Seip, Bartol Markovinović, Matthias Hein

The safety of LLM-based agents currently rests on alignment training and safety classifiers, neither of which can rule out that a sophisticated indirect prompt injection (IPI) goes…

Preference Redirection via Attention Concentration: An Attack on Computer Use Agents

Dominik Seip, Matthias Hein

Advancements in multimodal foundation models have enabled the development of Computer Use Agents (CUAs) capable of autonomously interacting with GUI environments. As CUAs are not r…

Visual Memory Injection Attacks for Multi-Turn Conversations

Christian Schlarmann, Matthias Hein

Generative large vision-language models (LVLMs) have recently achieved impressive performance gains, and their user base is growing rapidly. However, the security of LVLMs, in part…

Unlearning That Lasts: Utility-Preserving, Robust, and Almost Irreversible Forgetting in LLMs

Naman Deep Singh, Maximilian Müller, Francesco Croce +1

Unlearning in large language models (LLMs) involves precisely removing specific information from a pre-trained model. This is crucial to ensure safety of LLMs by deleting private d…

Robustness in Both Domains: CLIP Needs a Robust Text Encoder

Elias Abad Rocamora, Christian Schlarmann, Naman Deep Singh +3

Adversarial input attacks can cause a significant shift of CLIP embeddings. This can affect the downstream robustness of models incorporating CLIP in the pipeline, such as text-to-…

FuseLIP: Multimodal Embeddings via Early Fusion of Discrete Tokens

Christian Schlarmann, Francesco Croce, Nicolas Flammarion +1

Contrastive language-image pre-training aligns features of text-image pairs in a common latent space via distinct encoders for each modality. While this approach achieves impressiv…

Segment (Almost) Nothing: Prompt-Agnostic Adversarial Attacks on Segmentation Models

Francesco Croce, Matthias Hein

General purpose segmentation models are able to generate (semantic) segmentation masks from a variety of prompts, including visual (points, boxed, etc.) and textual (object names)…

DiG-IN: Diffusion Guidance for Investigating Networks -- Uncovering Classifier Differences Neuron Visualisations and Visual Counterfactual Explanations

Maximilian Augustin, Yannic Neuhaus, Matthias Hein

While deep learning has led to huge progress in complex image classification tasks like ImageNet, unexpected failure modes, e.g. via spurious features, call into question how relia…
