If you’re running LLMs in production, prompt injection is the attack you can’t fully patch. Someone wraps “ignore your instructions” inside a polite customer support query, or buries a hijack command in a document your RAG pipeline retrieves, and your model follows it. The standard defenses (regex filters, classifier ensembles, guardrail APIs) catch the attacks they’ve been trained on. The ones they haven’t seen walk right through. We hit this wall ourselves. Together with George Politis, we’ve been running LLMTrace, […]

arXiv:2507.04448v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a theory of transfer learning in infinitely wide neural networks under gradient flow that quantifies when pretraining on a source task improves generalization on a target task. We analyze both (i) fine-tuning, when the downstream predictor is trained on top of source-induced features and (ii) a jointly rich setting, where both pretraining and downstream tasks can operate in a feature learning regime, but the downstream model is initialized with the features […]

arXiv:2407.04117v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent years have witnessed a growing call for renewed emphasis on neuroscience-inspired approaches in artificial intelligence research, under the banner of NeuroAI. A prime example of this is predictive coding networks (PCNs), based on the neuroscientific framework of predictive coding. This framework views the brain as a hierarchical Bayesian inference model that minimizes prediction errors through feedback connections. Unlike traditional neural networks trained with backpropagation (BP), PCNs utilize inference learning (IL), a more […]

arXiv:2603.06683v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimedia Event Extraction (M2E2) involves extracting structured event records from both textual and visual content. Existing approaches, ranging from specialized architectures to direct Large Language Model (LLM) prompting, typically rely on a linear, end-to-end generation and thus suffer from cascading errors: early cross-modal misalignments often corrupt downstream role assignment under strict grounding constraints. We propose ECHO (Event-Centric Hypergraph Operations), a multi-agent framework that iteratively refines a shared Multimedia Event Hypergraph (MEHG), which serves […]

arXiv:2603.24753v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Standard vision models treat objects as independent points in Euclidean space, unable to capture hierarchical structure like parts within wholes. We introduce Worldline Slot Attention, which models objects as persistent trajectories through spacetime worldlines, where each object has multiple slots at different hierarchy levels sharing the same spatial position but differing in temporal coordinates. This architecture consistently fails without geometric structure: Euclidean worldlines achieve 0.078 level accuracy, below random chance (0.33), while Lorentzian […]

arXiv:2604.16879v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the rapid development of generative models and multimodal content editing technologies, the key challenge faced by synthetic image detection (SID) lies in cross-distribution generalization to unknown generation sources. In recent years, visual foundation models (VFM), which acquire rich visual priors through large scale image-text alignment pretraining, have become a promising technical route for improving the generalization ability of SID. However, existing VFM-based methods remain relatively coarse-grained in their adaptation strategies. They typically […]

arXiv:2603.12341v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Social media can reveal patient experiences with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) that extend beyond clinical trial data. We analyzed 410,198 Reddit posts (May 2019-June 2025) mentioning semaglutide or tirzepatide. A total of 67,008 users self-reported using these medications, and 43.5% described at least one side effect. Gastrointestinal symptoms predominated, including nausea (36.9%), fatigue (16.7%), vomiting (16.3%), constipation (15.3%), and diarrhea (12.6%). Notably, reproductive symptoms (e.g., menstrual irregularities) and temperature-related complaints (e.g., […]
