Think Twice Before You Act: Protecting LLM Agents Against Tool Description Poisoning via Isolated Planning
Shanghao Shi, Xiao Wang, Chaoyu Zhang +6
The integration of external tools has substantially expanded the capabilities of large language model (LLM) agents, but it also introduces new attack surfaces beyond prompt injecti…
From Efficiency to Leakage -- Privacy Backdoor in Federated Language Model Fine-Tuning
Shanghao Shi, Chaoyu Zhang, Heng Jin +6
Federated learning (FL) enables multiple parties to collaboratively fine-tune language models for domain-specific tasks without sharing raw data. Since full model fine-tuning is of…
Minim: Privacy-Aware Minimal View for Agents via Trusted Local Sanitization
Hexuan Yu, Chaoyu Zhang, Heng Jin +4
Modern LLM-powered autonomous agents increasingly rely on rich user interface (UI) state observations to achieve reliable action grounding in complex digital environments. However,…
EcoLoRA: Communication-Efficient Federated Fine-Tuning of Large Language Models
Han Liu, Ruoyao Wen, Srijith Nair +6
To address data locality and privacy restrictions, Federated Learning (FL) has recently been adopted to fine-tune large language models (LLMs), enabling improved performance on var…
