Automating Steering for Safe Multimodal Large Language Models
Recent progress in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) has unlocked powerful cross-modal reasoning abilities, but also raised new safety concerns, particularly when faced with adversarial multimodal inputs. To improve the safety of MLLMs during inference, we introduce a modular and adaptive inference-time intervention technology, AutoSteer, without requiring any fine-tuning of the underlying model. AutoSteer incorporates three core components: (1) a novel Safety Awareness Score (SAS) that …

Sonnet 053 - LIII
What is your substance, whereof are you made,
That millions of strange shadows on you tend?
Since every one hath, every one, one shade,
And you but one, can every shadow lend.
Describe Adonis, and the counterfeit
Is poorly imitated after you;
On Helen's cheek all art of beauty set,
And you in Grecian tires are painted new:
Speak of the spring, and foison of the year,
The one doth shadow of your beauty show,

Stress Softening Damage in Strongly Nonlinear Viscoelastic Soft Materials A Physics Informed Data Driven Constitutive Model with Time Temperature Coupling
This study presents a novel physics informed, data-driven modeling framework for capturing the strongly nonlinear thermo-viscoelastic behavior of soft materials exhibiting stress softening, with emphasis on the Mullins effect. Unlike previous approaches limited to quasi-static or isothermal conditions, our model unifies rate dependence, temperature sensitivity, large strain cyclic loading, and evolving damage mechanisms. Thermodynamic admissibility is ensured via a custom loss function that emb…

Anisotropy enables advanced light sheet microscopy with opaque lenses
Advances in fluorescence microscopy have reached a plateau in improving depth-to-resolution ratios for imaging scattering tissues, highlighting an urgent need for innovative techniques. We introduce Wavelens, a groundbreaking opaque lens that combines dynamic wavefront shaping with a passive, angularly anisotropic photonic scattering plate-designed to scatter light predominantly in one direction. This compact, robust optoelectronic device, comparable in size to a conventional microscope lens, d…

LOKI: Proactively Discovering Online Scam Websites by Mining Toxic Search Queries
Online e-commerce scams, ranging from shopping scams to pet scams, globally cause millions of dollars in financial damage every year. In response, the security community has developed highly accurate detection systems able to determine if a website is fraudulent. However, finding candidate scam websites that can be passed as input to these downstream detection systems is challenging: relying on user reports is inherently reactive and slow, and proactive systems issuing search engine queries to …

LaSM: Layer-wise Scaling Mechanism for Defending Pop-up Attack on GUI Agents
Graphical user interface (GUI) agents built on multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have recently demonstrated strong decision-making abilities in screen-based interaction tasks. However, they remain highly vulnerable to pop-up-based environmental injection attacks, where malicious visual elements divert model attention and lead to unsafe or incorrect actions. Existing defense methods either require costly retraining or perform poorly under inductive interference. In this work, we systemati…
