Log-To-Leak: Prompt Injection Attacks on Tool-Using LLM Agents via the Model Context Protocol

Yuepeng Hu, Chongyu Fan, Sirat Samyoun +1

LLM agents increasingly access external tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), but the natural-language metadata used to describe those tools creates a prompt-injection su…

Multimodal Unlearning Across Vision, Language, Video, and Audio: Survey of Methods, Datasets, and Benchmarks

Nobin Sarwar, Shubhashis Roy Dipta, Zheyuan Liu +1

With the growing adoption of VLMs, DMs, LLMs, and AFMs, these multimodal foundation models can inadvertently encode sensitive, copyrighted, biased, or unsafe cross-modal associatio…

Rethinking Muon Beyond Pretraining: Spectral Failures and High-Pass Remedies for VLA and RLVR

Chongyu Fan, Gaowen Liu, Mingyi Hong +2

Muon is a matrix-aware optimizer that leverages Newton-Schulz (NS) iterations to enforce spectral gradient orthogonalization by driving all singular values of the momentum matrix t…

Position: Zeroth-Order Optimization in Deep Learning Is Underexplored, Not Underpowered

Sijia Liu, Yicheng Lang, Soumyadeep Pal +6

Zeroth-order (ZO) optimization, learning from finite differences of function evaluations without backpropagation, has recently regained attention in deep learning due to its memory…

Subspace Control: Turning Constrained Model Steering into Controllable Spectral Optimization

Yancheng Huang, Changsheng Wang, Chongyu Fan +7

Foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs), are powerful but often require customization before deployment to satisfy practical constraints such as safety, privacy, an…
