Safety Mirage: How Spurious Correlations Undermine VLM Safety Fine-Tuning and Can Be Mitigated by Machine Unlearning

Yiwei Chen, Yuguang Yao, Yihua Zhang +3

Recent vision language models (VLMs) have made remarkable strides in generative modeling with multimodal inputs, particularly text and images. However, their susceptibility to gene…

One Small Step with Fingerprints, One Giant Leap for De Novo Molecule Generation from Mass Spectra

Neng Kai Nigel Neo, Lim Jing, Ngoui Yong Zhau Preston +2

A common approach to the de novo molecular generation problem from mass spectra involves a two-stage pipeline: (1) encoding mass spectra into molecular fingerprints, followed by (2…

Defending Multimodal Backdoored Models by Repulsive Visual Prompt Tuning

Zhifang Zhang, Shuo He, Haobo Wang +2

Multimodal contrastive learning models (e.g., CLIP) can learn high-quality representations from large-scale image-text datasets, while they exhibit significant vulnerabilities to b…

Forgetting to Forget: Attention Sink as A Gateway for Backdooring LLM Unlearning

Bingqi Shang, Yiwei Chen, Yihua Zhang +2

Large language model (LLM) unlearning is a key approach for removing undesired data, knowledge, or behaviors from pretrained models while retaining their general utility. Yet, with…

Whisper Smarter, not Harder: Adversarial Attack on Partial Suppression

Zheng Jie Wong, Bingquan Shen

Currently, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models are deployed in an extensive range of applications. However, recent studies have demonstrated the possibility of adversarial at…
