This study reveals a critical safety blind spot in modern LLMs: learning-style queries, which closely resemble ordinary educational questions, can reliably elicit harmful responses. The learning-style queries are constructed by a novel…

Cost functions are commonly employed in Safe Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). However, the cost is typically encoded as an indicator function due to the difficulty of quantifying the risk of policy decisions in the state space. Such an…

We propose an effective Hybrid Deep Learning (HDL) architecture for the task of determining the probability that a questioned handwritten word has been written by a known writer. HDL is an amalgamation of Auto-Learned Features (ALF) and…

Survival analysis provides a well-established framework for modeling time-to-event data, with hazard and survival functions formally defined as population-level quantities. In applied work, however, these quantities are often interpreted as…

Federated Learning (FL) is a promising technology that enables multiple actors to build a joint model without sharing their raw data. The distributed nature makes FL vulnerable to various poisoning attacks, including model poisoning attacks…

Detecting rare events, those defined to give rise to high impact but have a low probability of occurring, is a challenge in a number of domains including meteorological, environmental, financial and economic. The use of machine learning to…

Do all adversarial examples have the same consequences? An autonomous driving system misclassifying a pedestrian as a car may induce a far more dangerous -- and even potentially lethal -- behavior than, for instance, a car as a bus. In…

Multi-agent LLM systems decompose workflows across agents, tools, shared context, memory, and decision gates. This modularity improves interpretability, but creates a propagation risk: a bounded perturbation to one component can be reused…

Reducing traffic accidents is an important public safety challenge, therefore, accident analysis and prediction has been a topic of much research over the past few decades. Using small-scale datasets with limited coverage, being dependent…

Abrasive flap wheels are common for finishing complex free-form surfaces due to their flexibility. However, this flexibility results in complex wear patterns such as concave/convex flap profiles or flap tears, which influence the grinding…

Several technologies have been proposed for deflecting a hazardous Solar System object on a trajectory that would otherwise impact the Earth. The effectiveness of each technology depends on several characteristics of the given object,…

Multivariate Hawkes Processes (MHPs) are a class of point processes that can account for complex temporal dynamics among event sequences. In this work, we study the accuracy and computational efficiency of three classes of algorithms which,…

Recent transfer learning (TL) approaches in industrial intelligent fault diagnosis (FD) mostly follow the "pre-train and fine-tuning" paradigm to address data drift, which emerges from variable working conditions. However, we find that this…
