Cross-Session Decomposition Attacks: Scaling Risk and Intent-Aligned Retrieval Defense

Disen Liao, Yihan Wang, Freda Shi +1

Scaling laws are usually read as a capability story: lower language-modeling loss yields more useful models. We study a safety consequence of this mechanism in \emph{cross-session…

Are Targeted Data Poisoning Attacks as Effective as We Think?

William Xu, Chenyu Zhang, Yihan Wang +5

Targeted data poisoning attacks manipulate model predictions on specific test samples by injecting malicious data into training. Yet existing evaluations report average attack succ…

Demystifying Foreground-Background Memorization in Diffusion Models

Jimmy Z. Di, Yiwei Lu, Yaoliang Yu +3

Diffusion models (DMs) memorize training images and can reproduce near-duplicates during generation. Current detection methods identify verbatim memorization but fail to capture tw…

BridgePure: Limited Protection Leakage Can Break Black-Box Data Protection

Yihan Wang, Yiwei Lu, Xiao-Shan Gao +2

Availability attacks, or unlearnable examples, are defensive techniques that allow data owners to modify their datasets in ways that prevent unauthorized machine learning models fr…

MUC: Machine Unlearning for Contrastive Learning with Black-box Evaluation

Yihan Wang, Yiwei Lu, Guojun Zhang +4

Machine unlearning offers effective solutions for revoking the influence of specific training data on pre-trained model parameters. While existing approaches address unlearning for…

Disguised Copyright Infringement of Latent Diffusion Models

Yiwei Lu, Matthew Y. R. Yang, Zuoqiu Liu +2

Copyright infringement may occur when a generative model produces samples substantially similar to some copyrighted data that it had access to during the training phase. The notion…

Understanding Neural Network Binarization with Forward and Backward Proximal Quantizers

Yiwei Lu, Yaoliang Yu, Xinlin Li +1

In neural network binarization, BinaryConnect (BC) and its variants are considered the standard. These methods apply the sign function in their forward pass and their respective gr…

Indiscriminate Data Poisoning Attacks on Pre-trained Feature Extractors

Yiwei Lu, Matthew Y. R. Yang, Gautam Kamath +1

Machine learning models have achieved great success in supervised learning tasks for end-to-end training, which requires a large amount of labeled data that is not always feasible.…

-MICL: Understanding and Generalizing InfoNCE-based Contrastive Learning

Yiwei Lu, Guojun Zhang, Sun Sun +2

In self-supervised contrastive learning, a widely-adopted objective function is InfoNCE, which uses the heuristic cosine similarity for the representation comparison, and is closel…

Structure Preserving Diffusion Models

Haoye Lu, Spencer Szabados, Yaoliang Yu

In recent years, diffusion models have become the leading approach for distribution learning. This paper focuses on structure-preserving diffusion models (SPDM), a specific subset…
