Understanding and Evaluating Claw-like Agent Security Through a Computer-Systems Lens
Peizhi Niu, Wenjie Qu, Shangding Gu +14
Claw-like AI agents (e.g., OpenClaw) are always-on processes with persistent access to credentials, files, tools, and external services. They take on system-level responsibilities…
AliMark: Enhancing Robustness of Sentence-Level Watermarking Against Text Paraphrasing
Yuexin Li, Wenjie Qu, Linyu Wu +5
Existing sentence-level watermarking methods enhance robustness to paraphrasing by anchoring watermarks in sentence semantics. However, their prefix-based designs remain vulnerable…
Echoes within the Reasoning: Stealthy and Effective Watermarking via Chain of Thought
Jiacheng Lu, Yiming Li, Tao Song +4
Large Language Models with Chain-of-Thought reasoning capabilities represent valuable intellectual property, yet existing black-box watermarking methods often trade robustness for…
Securing LLM Agents Need Intent-to-Execution Integrity
Wenjie Qu, Ming Xu, Peiran Wang +3
This position paper argues that securing LLM agents requires first defining an end-to-end correctness property that specifies when an agent's execution faithfully reflects the user…
SAMark: A Self-Anchored Text Watermarking with Paragraph-Level Paraphrase Robustness
Jiahao Huo, Wenjie Qu, Yibo Yan +5
Semantic-level watermarking (SWM) improves robustness against text modifications by treating sentences as the basic unit. However, robustness to paragraph-level paraphrasing remain…
V3DB: Audit-on-Demand Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Verifiable Vector Search over Committed Snapshots
Zipeng Qiu, Wenjie Qu, Jiaheng Zhang +1
Dense retrieval services increasingly underpin semantic search, recommendation, and retrieval-augmented generation, yet clients typically receive only a top- list with no audita…
Self-Sovereign Agent
Wenjie Qu, Xuandong Zhao, Jiaheng Zhang +1
We investigate the emerging prospect of self-sovereign agents -- AI systems that can economically sustain and extend their own operation without human involvement. Recent advances…
IMMACULATE: A Practical LLM Auditing Framework via Verifiable Computation
Yanpei Guo, Wenjie Qu, Linyu Wu +7
Commercial large language models are typically deployed as black-box API services, requiring users to trust providers to execute inference correctly and report token usage honestly…
On Representation Redundancy in Large-Scale Instruction Tuning Data Selection
Youwei Shu, Shaomian Zheng, Dingnan Jin +5
Data quality is a crucial factor in large language models training. While prior work has shown that models trained on smaller, high-quality datasets can outperform those trained on…
Reliable and Responsible Foundation Models: A Comprehensive Survey
Xinyu Yang, Junlin Han, Rishi Bommasani +49
Foundation models, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), Image Generative Models (i.e, Text-to-Image Models and Image-Editing Models), a…
GuardReasoner-Omni: A Reasoning-based Multi-modal Guardrail for Text, Image, Video, and Audio
Zhenhao Zhu, Yue Liu, Yanpei Guo +9
We present GuardReasoner-Omni, a reasoning-based guardrail model designed to moderate text, image, video, and audio data. First, we construct a comprehensive training corpus compri…
DMark: Order-Agnostic Watermarking for Diffusion Large Language Models
Linyu Wu, Linhao Zhong, Wenjie Qu +5
Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) offer faster generation than autoregressive models while maintaining comparable quality, but existing watermarking methods fail on them due…
