1. Refute-or-Promote: An Adversarial Stage-Gated Multi-Agent Review Methodology for High-Precision LLM-Assisted Defect Discovery
arXiv:2604.19049v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-assisted defect discovery has a precision crisis: plausible-but-wrong reports overwhelm maintainers and degrade credibility for real findings. We present Refute-or-Promote, an inference-time reliability pattern combining Stratified Context Hu...

2. Survival of the Cheapest: Cost-Aware Hardware Adaptation for Adversarial Robustness
arXiv:2409.07609v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying adversarially robust machine learning systems requires continuous trade-offs between robustness, cost, and latency. We present an autonomic decision-support framework providing a quantitative foundation for adaptive hardware sel...

3. Evaluating Answer Leakage Robustness of LLM Tutors against Adversarial Student Attacks
arXiv:2604.18660v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in education, yet their default helpfulness often conflicts with pedagogical principles. Prior work evaluates pedagogical quality via answer leakage-the disclosure of complete solutions instead o...

4. Auto-ART: Structured Literature Synthesis and Automated Adversarial Robustness Testing
arXiv:2604.20704v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adversarial robustness evaluation underpins every claim of trustworthy ML deployment, yet the field suffers from fragmented protocols and undetected gradient masking. We make two contributions. (1) Structured synthesis. We analyze nine peer-revie...

5. How Adversarial Environments Mislead Agentic AI?
arXiv:2604.18874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-integrated agents are deployed on the premise that external tools ground their outputs in reality. Yet this very reliance creates a critical attack surface. Current evaluations benchmark capability in benign settings, asking "can the agent use...

6. Benign Overfitting in Adversarial Training for Vision Transformers
arXiv:2604.19724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite the remarkable success of Vision Transformers (ViTs) across a wide range of vision tasks, recent studies have revealed that they remain vulnerable to adversarial examples, much like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). A common empirical...

7. Memory Assignment for Finite-Memory Strategies in Adversarial Patrolling Games
arXiv:2505.14137v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Adversarial Patrolling games form a subclass of Security games where a Defender moves between locations, guarding vulnerable targets. The main algorithmic problem is constructing a strategy for the Defender that minimizes the worst damage an At...

8. ORCA: An Agentic Reasoning Framework for Hallucination and Adversarial Robustness in Vision-Language Models
arXiv:2509.15435v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) exhibit strong multimodal capabilities but remain vulnerable to hallucinations from intrinsic errors and adversarial attacks from external exploitations, limiting their reliability in real-world applic...
