  1. PaperFlow: Profiling, Recommending, and Adapting Across Daily Paper Streams

    2026 · arXiv

    Scientific paper recommendation is typically evaluated as static ranking over a fixed candidate set, yet real scientific reading unfolds as a daily, longitudinal process in which interests shift and feedback accumulates. We introduce PaperFlow, a …

  2. Defending against ROP Attacks with Nearly Zero Overhead

    2019

    Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) is a sophisticated exploitation technique that is able to drive target applications to perform arbitrary unintended operations by constructing a gadget chain reusing existing small code sequences (gadgets) collected across the entire …

  3. Dropout Attacks

    2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    Dropout is a common operator in deep learning, aiming to prevent overfitting by randomly dropping neurons during training. This paper introduces a new family of poisoning attacks against neural networks named DROPOUTATTACK. DROPOUTATTACK attacks the …

  4. AutoSpec: Automated Generation of Neural Network Specifications

    2024 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    The increasing adoption of neural networks in learning-augmented systems highlights the growing need for model safety and robustness, especially in safety-critical domains. While recent advances in neural network verification offer formal guarantees on worst-case behavior, …
