Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly evolving into agentic systems that interact with external tools and environments, introducing new security risks such as indirect prompt in…
LiSA: Lifelong Safety Adaptation via Conservative Policy Induction
Minbeom Kim, Lesly Miculicich, Bhavana Dalvi Mishra +6
As AI agents move from chat interfaces to systems that read private data, call tools, and execute multi-step workflows, guardrails become a last line of defense against concrete de…
RubricEM: Meta-RL with Rubric-guided Policy Decomposition beyond Verifiable Rewards
Gaotang Li, Bhavana Dalvi Mishra, Zifeng Wang +9
Deep research agents plan, search, evaluate evidence, and synthesize long-form reports. Training these agents with reinforcement learning (RL) is challenging because they operate o…
ARD: Agentic Autoregressive Diffusion for Long Video Consistency
Do Xuan Long, Yale Song, Min-Yen Kan +2
Synthesizing consistent and coherent long video remains a fundamental challenge. Existing methods suffer from semantic drift and narrative collapse over long horizons. We present A…
PolicyBank: Evolving Policy Understanding for LLM Agents
Jihye Choi, Jinsung Yoon, Long T. Le +2
LLM agents operating under organizational policies must comply with authorization constraints typically specified in natural language. In practice, such specifications inevitably c…
TFRBench: A Reasoning Benchmark for Evaluating Forecasting Systems
Md Atik Ahamed, Mihir Parmar, Palash Goyal +7
We introduce TFRBench, the first benchmark designed to evaluate the reasoning capabilities of forecasting systems. Traditionally, time-series forecasting has been evaluated solely…
CausalArmor: Efficient Indirect Prompt Injection Guardrails via Causal Attribution
Minbeom Kim, Mihir Parmar, Phillip Wallis +5
AI agents equipped with tool-calling capabilities are susceptible to Indirect Prompt Injection (IPI) attacks. In this attack scenario, malicious commands hidden within untrusted co…
Co-RedTeam: Orchestrated Security Discovery and Exploitation with LLM Agents
Pengfei He, Ash Fox, Lesly Miculicich +7
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in assisting cybersecurity tasks, yet existing approaches struggle with automatic vulnerability discovery and exploitation due to li…
Synapse: Adaptive Arbitration of Complementary Expertise in Time Series Foundational Models
