Research & Papers
1. Semi-Automated Detection of Gaps in LLM Security Knowledge
arXiv:2607.18496v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for a range of software, hardware and human-centered security tasks. Consequently, LLM performance on security tasks is an active area of measurement and research, often with a focus on i...

2. ChronosAttack: Adversarial Tool Scheduling Attacks on LLM Agents
arXiv:2609.27857v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents often process external tool responses as they arrive, making response timing part of the decision process. We introduce ChronosAttack, a delay-only scheduling attack that changes when authentic tool responses arr...

3. Dynamic Deep Prompt Optimization for Defending Against Jailbreak Attacks on LLMs
arXiv:2609.26185v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive capabilities across many applications but remain vulnerable to jailbreak attacks, which elicit harmful or unintended content. While model fine-tuning is an option for safety alignment, it is cos...

4. Robust Adversarial Reinforcement Learning with Risk Sensitivity and Critic Consistency Regularization
arXiv:2609.27667v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) achieves strong performance in sequential decision-making but remains brittle under dynamic uncertainty and distributional shifts. Robust Adversarial Reinforcement Learning (RARL) improves robustness via worst-case pertu...

5. Adversarial Course-of-Action Generation: Game-Theoretic Multi-Agent Algorithms for COA matching & COA generation
arXiv:2609.26059v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Course-of-action (COA) generation is a distributed planning problem: a system must propose structured candidate actions, evaluate them against an adversarial response, and surface options that remain tactically coherent under changing conditions. W...

6. FedNIA: Noise-Induced Activation Analysis for Mitigating Data Poisoning in Federated Learning
arXiv:2502.16396v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Federated learning systems are increasingly threatened by data poisoning attacks, where malicious clients compromise global models by contributing tampered updates. Existing defenses often rely on impractical assumptions, such as access t...

7. KITE: KV-Invariant Transformer Expansion for Efficient Agentic LLM Scaling
arXiv:2609.27294v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scaling a language model is not only a question of final quality: the architectural choice determines how much computation is spent during training, prompt processing, and autoregressive decoding to achieve certain model quality. An ideal model arc...

8. Potential for Enhanced Learning in Machine Learning Classes by Using Wiki LLM Indexing
arXiv:2609.25303v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are increasingly deployed as course-specific tutors, but their usefulness depends on grounding in vetted instructional materials that are often revised mid-semester. Our prior work built a multimodal retrieval-augmented genera...
