EigenTrack: Spectral Activation Feature Tracking for Hallucination and Out-of-Distribution Detection in LLMs and VLMs
Davide Ettori, Nastaran Darabi, Sina Tayebati +4
Large language models (LLMs) offer broad utility but remain prone to hallucination and out-of-distribution (OOD) errors. We propose EigenTrack, an interpretable real-time detector…
EigenShield: Causal Subspace Filtering via Random Matrix Theory for Adversarially Robust Vision-Language Models
Nastaran Darabi, Devashri Naik, Sina Tayebati +3
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) inherit adversarial vulnerabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), which are further exacerbated by their multimodal nature. Existing defenses, incl…
Learning Conformal Abstention Policies for Adaptive Risk Management in Large Language and Vision-Language Models
Sina Tayebati, Divake Kumar, Nastaran Darabi +3
Large Language and Vision-Language Models (LLMs/VLMs) are increasingly used in safety-critical applications, yet their opaque decision-making complicates risk assessment and reliab…
SPARC: Subspace-Aware Prompt Adaptation for Robust Continual Learning in LLMs
Dinithi Jayasuriya, Sina Tayebati, Davide Ettori +2
We propose SPARC, a lightweight continual learning framework for large language models (LLMs) that enables efficient task adaptation through prompt tuning in a lower-dimensional sp…
