Causal Algorithmic Recourse: Foundations and Methods

arXiv:2605.11373v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The trustworthiness of AI decision-making systems is increasingly important. A key feature of such systems is the ability to provide recommendations for how an individual may reverse a negative decision, a problem known as algorithmic…

Crash Assessment via Mesh-Based Graph Neural Networks and Physics-Aware Attention

arXiv:2605.11784v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Full-vehicle crash simulations are computationally expensive, limiting their use in iterative design exploration. This work investigates learned hybrid surrogate models (MeshTransolver, MeshGeoTransolver, and MeshGeoFLARE) for predicting time-resolved structural deformation fields in an industrial lateral pole-impact…

AESOP: Adversarial Execution-path Selection to Overload Deep Learning Pipelines

arXiv:2605.10987v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern machine learning deployments increasingly compose specialized models into dynamic inference pipelines, where upstream components produce intermediate predictions that determine the workload and inputs of downstream components. The cost of processing an input is therefore…

Toxicity Detection Should Measure Contextual Harm, Not Text-Intrinsic Badness

arXiv:2503.16072v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Toxicity detection has become core safety infrastructure for online moderation, dataset filtering, and deployed language-model systems. Yet most detectors still treat toxicity as an intrinsic property of isolated text. This position paper argues that toxicity…

SURGE: Surrogate Gradient Adaptation in Binary Neural Networks

arXiv:2605.10989v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The training of Binary Neural Networks (BNNs) is fundamentally based on gradient approximation for non-differentiable binarization operations (e.g., sign function). However, prevailing methods including the Straight-Through Estimator (STE) and its improved variants, rely on hand-crafted…

Robustness Certificates for Neural Networks against Adversarial Attacks

arXiv:2512.20865v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The increasing use of machine learning in safety-critical domains amplifies the risk of adversarial threats, especially data poisoning attacks that corrupt training data to degrade performance or induce unsafe behavior. Most existing defenses lack formal…
