Faults That Fortify: CNN Adversarial Robustness via GPU Undervolting

arXiv:2608.20572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) face a dual challenge: vulnerability to adversarial attacks and prohibitive training cost. Adversarial training is effective but expensive, a burden that grows as learning shifts to the energy-constrained edge. This paper…

Primal Acceleration of Newton’s Method

arXiv:2608.21359v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a new direct accelerated Newton method for minimizing convex functions with Lipschitz continuous Hessian. The algorithm uses only primal variables and performs just one linear solve per iteration. With a simple predetermined choice…

Defining Decentralization: An Ontological Perspective

arXiv:2608.09748v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Decentralization as a concept in computer science has existed for over half a century. Despite its fundamental role across domains such as security, distributed computing, artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructures, and Internet of Things (IoT) architectures,…

Personalized Privacy Control in LLMs via Attention Head Intervention

arXiv:2608.21209v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rise of agentic AI enables LLMs to access diverse user data, raising critical privacy concerns. Prior work on contextual privacy studies whether LLMs regulate information disclosure according to context-dependent norms. However, acceptable disclosure boundaries…

GEO-Flag: Detecting and Measuring GEO-Optimized Web Content

arXiv:2608.16824v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) modifies web content to increase its likelihood of being selected and cited by generative search engines. This can give strategically optimized pages visibility disproportionate to their authority or relevance and even…

Infinite-dimensional generative diffusions via Doob’s h-transform

arXiv:2602.06621v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper introduces a rigorous framework for defining generative diffusion models in infinite dimensions via Doob’s h-transform. Rather than relying on time reversal of a noising process, a reference diffusion is forced towards the target…

Amortized Bandwidth Learning for Kernel Density Estimation under Logarithmic Score

arXiv:2608.20445v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Kernel density estimation converts finite samples into probability densities, but its performance depends critically on bandwidth selection. Classical selectors prescribe the sample-to-bandwidth rule analytically or asymptotically, or solve a new optimization for each sample. An…
