High-noise feature drift distinguishes adversarial from clean inputs in CLIP, allowing a plug-in gating mechanism to selectively trigger existing test-time defenses and raise mean clean+adversarial accuracy across 13 datasets.
TARO builds a temporally guided score prior from high-noise and low-noise diffusion views to purify adversarial examples more robustly than uniform timestep methods.
A hierarchical adversarial fine-tuning method for VLMs aligns image and text embeddings at multiple hierarchy depths with theoretical margin connections to boost robustness to leaf and superclass attacks while using multiple trees for semantic variety.
FDA differentially subtracts function-word cross-attention from original attention heads to cut attack success rates by 18-90% across models and tasks while dropping performance by at most 0.6%.
Adversarial images transfer across languages in MLLMs while apparent safety in weaker languages stems from comprehension and visual-grounding failures rather than genuine alignment.
Robust vision encoders from multimodal adversarial pretraining transfer to MLLMs and deliver large gains in adversarial captioning and VQA performance, while test-time stochastic transformations provide an effective black-box defense.
Introduces Closed-Loop Bidirectional Prompting with Semantic Anchor for cross-modal agreement recovery, claiming SOTA adversarial robustness and generalization on 11 datasets.
Universal adversarial attacks cause output perturbation 90 times more often than precise target injection in VLMs, with only 2 verbatim successes out of 6615 tests.
ORCA is an agentic reasoning framework that enhances factual accuracy and adversarial robustness of pretrained LVLMs via an Observe-Reason-Critique-Act loop with small vision models, reporting accuracy gains of up to 40% on hallucination benchmarks and 20% under adversarial perturbations.
AGC is a training-free inference-time defense for CLIP that adaptively corrects features along geodesics to robust augmentations, claiming 44.4% higher average robust accuracy and 10x lower latency than prior baselines across eight datasets and three backbones.
Generative purification with consensus aggregation reduces adversarial illusion attack success rates to near zero on ImageBind while improving alignment on both clean and attacked inputs.
