Generating Difficult-to-Translate Texts
Machine translation benchmarks sourced from the real world are quickly obsoleted, due to most examples being easy for state-of-the-art translation models. This limits the benchmark's ability to distinguish which model is better or to reveal models' weaknesses. Current methods for creating difficult test cases, such as subsampling or from-scratch synthesis, either fall short of identifying difficult examples or suffer from a lack of diversity and naturalness. Inspired by the iterative process of…

SoK: Systematic analysis of adversarial threats against deep learning approaches for autonomous anomaly detection systems in SDN-IoT networks
Integrating SDN and the IoT enhances network control and flexibility. DL-based AAD systems improve security by enabling real-time threat detection in SDN-IoT networks. However, these systems remain vulnerable to adversarial attacks that manipulate input data or exploit model weaknesses, significantly degrading detection accuracy. Existing research lacks a systematic analysis of adversarial vulnerabilities specific to DL-based AAD systems in SDN-IoT environments. This SoK study introduces a stru…

HANN: Homotopy auxiliary neural network for solving nonlinear algebraic equations
Solving nonlinear algebraic equations is a fundamental but challenging problem in scientific computations and also has many applications in system engineering. Though traditional iterative methods and modern optimization algorithms have exerted effective roles in addressing certain specific problems, there still exist certain weaknesses such as the initial value sensitivity, limited accuracy and slow convergence rate, particulary without flexible input for the neural network methods. In this pa…

Neighborhood-Adaptive Generalized Linear Graph Embedding with Latent Pattern Mining
Graph embedding has been widely applied in areas such as network analysis, social network mining, recommendation systems, and bioinformatics. However, current graph construction methods often require the prior definition of neighborhood size, limiting the effective revelation of potential structural correlations in the data. Additionally, graph embedding methods using linear projection heavily rely on a singular pattern mining approach, resulting in relative weaknesses in adapting to different …

Semantics-Aligned, Curriculum-Driven, and Reasoning-Enhanced Vulnerability Repair Framework
Current learning-based Automated Vulnerability Repair (AVR) approaches, while promising, often fail to generalize effectively in real-world scenarios. Our diagnostic analysis reveals three fundamental weaknesses in state-of-the-art AVR approaches: (1) limited cross-repository generalization, with performance drops on unseen codebases; (2) inability to capture long-range dependencies, causing a performance degradation on complex, multi-hunk repairs; and (3) over-reliance on superficial lexical p…

Type, Ability, and Effect Systems: Perspectives on Purity, Semantics, and Expressiveness
Programming benefits from a clear separation between pure, mathematical computation and impure, effectful interaction with the world. Existing approaches to enforce this separation include monads, type-and-effect systems, and capability systems. All share a tension between precision and usability, and each one has non-obvious strengths and weaknesses. This paper aims to raise the bar in assessing such systems. First, we propose a semantic definition of purity, inspired by contextual equivalen…

Security and Privacy Assessment of U.S. and Non-U.S. Android E-Commerce Applications
E-commerce mobile applications are central to global financial transactions, making their security and privacy crucial. In this study, we analyze 92 top-grossing Android e-commerce apps (58 U.S.-based and 34 international) using MobSF, AndroBugs, and RiskInDroid. Our analysis shows widespread SSL and certificate weaknesses, with approximately 92% using unsecured HTTP connections and an average MobSF security score of 40.92/100. Over-privileged permissions were identified in 77 apps. While U.S. …

LegalSim: Multi-Agent Simulation of Legal Systems for Discovering Procedural Exploits
We present LegalSim, a modular multi-agent simulation of adversarial legal proceedings that explores how AI systems can exploit procedural weaknesses in codified rules. Plaintiff and defendant agents choose from a constrained action space (for example, discovery requests, motions, meet-and-confer, sanctions) governed by a JSON rules engine, while a stochastic judge model with calibrated grant rates, cost allocations, and sanction tendencies resolves outcomes. We compare four policies: PPO, a co…

InfoMosaic-Bench: Evaluating Multi-Source Information Seeking in Tool-Augmented Agents
Information seeking is a fundamental requirement for humans. However, existing LLM agents rely heavily on open-web search, which exposes two fundamental weaknesses: online content is noisy and unreliable, and many real-world tasks require precise, domain-specific knowledge unavailable from the web. The emergence of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) now allows agents to interface with thousands of specialized tools, seemingly resolving this limitation. Yet it remains unclear whether agents can ef…

MALF: A Multi-Agent LLM Framework for Intelligent Fuzzing of Industrial Control Protocols
Industrial control systems (ICS) are vital to modern infrastructure but increasingly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, particularly through weaknesses in their communication protocols. This paper presents MALF (Multi-Agent LLM Fuzzing Framework), an advanced fuzzing solution that integrates large language models (LLMs) with multi-agent coordination to identify vulnerabilities in industrial control protocols (ICPs). By leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for domain-specific knowle…

"Your Doctor is Spying on You": An Analysis of Data Practices in Mobile Healthcare Applications
Mobile healthcare (mHealth) applications promise convenient, continuous patient-provider interaction but also introduce severe and often underexamined security and privacy risks. We present an end-to-end audit of 272 Android mHealth apps from Google Play, combining permission forensics, static vulnerability analysis, and user review mining. Our multi-tool assessment with MobSF, RiskInDroid, and OWASP Mobile Audit revealed systemic weaknesses: 26.1% request fine-grained location without disclosu…
