Probabilistic Concept-Aware Steering for Trustworthy LLM Inference

Brian Becker, Rui Chu, Yingjie Lao

Steering vectors (SVs), an inference-time intervention technique for large language models (LLMs), guide the generation process by adding a concept-specific direction vector to int…

UIBDiffusion: Universal Imperceptible Backdoor Attack for Diffusion Models

Yuning Han, Bingyin Zhao, Rui Chu +3

Recent studies show that diffusion models (DMs) are vulnerable to backdoor attacks. Existing backdoor attacks impose unconcealed triggers (e.g., a gray box and eyeglasses) that con…

Fully Attentional Networks with Self-emerging Token Labeling

Bingyin Zhao, Zhiding Yu, Shiyi Lan +4

Recent studies indicate that Vision Transformers (ViTs) are robust against out-of-distribution scenarios. In particular, the Fully Attentional Network (FAN) - a family of ViT backb…
