When Knowledge Changes: Metamorphic Testing of RAG Systems with Mutations

Jinhan Kim, Samuele Pasini, Paolo Tonella

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-based LLM systems rely on external document corpora that can evolve and change over time. However, current evaluation methodologies (e.g., RAGA…

Testing Retrieval-Augmented Generation Systems with Chunk Coverage

Jinhan Kim, Samuele Pasini, Paolo Tonella

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-based systems\footnote{For brevity, RAG-based systems are referred to as RAG systems throughout this paper.} are increasingly deployed in high-…

Detecting Trojaned DNNs via Spectral Regression Analysis

Samuele Pasini, Jinhan Kim, Paolo Tonella

Modern DNNs are repeatedly fine-tuned to incorporate new data and functionality. This evolutionary workflow introduces a security risk when updated data cannot be fully trusted, as…

Dynamic Deception: When Pedestrians Team Up to Fool Autonomous Cars

Masoud Jamshidiyan Tehrani, Marco Gabriel, Jinhan Kim +1

Many adversarial attacks on autonomous-driving perception models fail to cause system-level failures once deployed in a full driving stack. The main reason for such ineffectiveness…

Revisiting "Revisiting Neuron Coverage for DNN Testing: A Layer-Wise and Distribution-Aware Criterion": A Critical Review and Implications on DNN Coverage Testing

Jinhan Kim, Nargiz Humbatova, Gunel Jahangirova +2

We present a critical review of Neural Coverage (NLC), a state-of-the-art DNN coverage criterion by Yuan et al. at ICSE 2023. While NLC proposes to satisfy eight design requirement…
