The Tasteful Agent: Measuring and Improving Taste in Long-Horizon Tasks

Wenbo Pan, Zhichao Liu, Shujie Liu +6

LLM agents increasingly work on long-horizon tasks, and the decisions they make along the way, such as which hypothesis to test or which implementation to build on, determine the o…

Dual-branch Robust Unlearnable Examples

Xianlong Wang, Hangtao Zhang, Wenbo Pan +4

Unlearnable examples (UEs) aim to compromise model training by injecting imperceptible perturbations to clean samples. However, existing UE schemes exhibit limited robustness again…

Evolving Agents in the Dark: Retrospective Harness Optimization via Self-Preference

Wenbo Pan, Shujie Liu, Chin-Yew Lin +5

AI agents rely on a harness of skills, tools, and workflows to solve complex problems. Continually improving this harness is essential for adapting to new tasks. However, existing…

M: Every Task Deserves Its Own Memory Harness

Wenbo Pan, Shujie Liu, Xiangyang Zhou +4

Large language model agents rely on specialized memory systems to accumulate and reuse knowledge during extended interactions. Recent architectures typically adopt a fixed memory d…

Image-to-Video Diffusion: From Foundations to Open Frontiers

Xianlong Wang, Wenbo Pan, Shijia Zhou +6

Diffusion-based \textit{image-to-video} (I2V) generation has become a central direction in generative models by turning a reference image, with optional conditions, into a temporal…

WebTrap: Stealthy Mid-Task Hijacking of Browser Agents During Navigation

Zhichao Liu, Wenbo Pan, Haining Yu +3

Browser agents are increasingly deployed in long-horizon tasks, which require executing extended action chains to accomplish user goals. However, this prolonged execution process p…

Towards Long-Horizon Interpretability: Efficient and Faithful Multi-Token Attribution for Reasoning LLMs

Wenbo Pan, Zhichao Liu, Xianlong Wang +2

Token attribution methods provide intuitive explanations for language model outputs by identifying causally important input tokens. However, as modern LLMs increasingly rely on ext…

Reconstructing Training Data from Adapter-based Federated Large Language Models

Silong Chen, Yuchuan Luo, Guilin Deng +4

Adapter-based Federated Large Language Models (FedLLMs) are widely adopted to reduce the computational, storage, and communication overhead of full-parameter fine-tuning for web-sc…

Can LLMs Refuse Questions They Do Not Know? Measuring Knowledge-Aware Refusal in Factual Tasks

Wenbo Pan, Jie Xu, Qiguang Chen +5

Large Language Models (LLMs) should refuse to answer questions beyond their knowledge. This capability, which we term knowledge-aware refusal, is crucial for factual reliability, w…

Exploring Incremental Unlearning: Techniques, Challenges, and Future Directions

Sadia Qureshi, Thanveer Shaik, Xiaohui Tao +4

The growing demand for data privacy in Machine Learning (ML) applications has seen Machine Unlearning (MU) emerge as a critical area of research. As the `right to be forgotten' bec…

Robot Collapse: Supply Chain Backdoor Attacks Against VLM-based Robotic Manipulation

Xianlong Wang, Hewen Pan, Hangtao Zhang +8

Robotic manipulation policies are increasingly empowered by \textit{large language models} (LLMs) and \textit{vision-language models} (VLMs), leveraging their understanding and per…
