More Interactions Make Communications More Efficient: A Directed Information Bottleneck Approach to Task-Oriented Communication
Zhirun Zheng, Yiqin Deng, Phone Lin +1
Task-oriented communication improves communication efficiency by transmitting semantic information required for downstream tasks, but may incur redundancy with previously transmitt…
A Novel Semantic Manifold Alignment Attack against Embedding-to-Embedding Obfuscation in Privacy-Preserving LLMs
Sicong Li, Lingfeng Yao, Xingke Yang +7
With the widespread applications of large language models (LLMs), privacy-preserving inference has become increasingly essential for sensitive queries. To balance privacy and utili…
Universal Image Restoration via Internalized Chain-of-Thought Reasoning
Yu Guo, Zhengru Fang, Shengfeng He +4
Image restoration seeks to recover high-quality images from degraded inputs but becomes highly ill-posed under complex, mixed degradations. While unified all-in-one models are comm…
