Summarize-Exemplify-Reflect: Data-driven Insight Distillation Empowers LLMs for Few-shot Tabular Classification
Recent studies show the promise of large language models (LLMs) for few-shot tabular classification but highlight challenges due to the variability in structured data. To address this, we propose distilling data into actionable insights to enable robust and effective classification by LLMs. Drawing inspiration from human learning processes, we introduce InsightTab, an insight distillation framework guided by principles of divide-and-conquer, easy-first, and reflective learning. Our approach int…

Republicans can’t seem to convince adults to vote against abortion,
so they’re trying to groom kids instead.
Deception is a key tactic of Live Action,
an anti-abortion group that produced the "Baby Olivia" video.
The “Baby Olivia” video uses computer-generated images to depict frequently inaccurate and emotionally manipulative images of fetal development.
Lila Rose, the president of Live Action, has
inaccurately said that abortion is “never med…

SecInfer: Preventing Prompt Injection via Inference-time Scaling
Prompt injection attacks pose a pervasive threat to the security of Large Language Models (LLMs). State-of-the-art prevention-based defenses typically rely on fine-tuning an LLM to enhance its security, but they achieve limited effectiveness against strong attacks. In this work, we propose \emph{SecInfer}, a novel defense against prompt injection attacks built on \emph{inference-time scaling}, an emerging paradigm that boosts LLM capability by allocating more compute resources for reasoning dur…
