Full-range Binary Classifier Calibration for Stable Model Updates in Production

Konstantin Berlin

Detection models running in adversarial environments face a malicious distribution that drifts rapidly while the benign distribution stays comparatively stable, so teams retrain and redeploy constantly to stay ahead of new threats. Retraining tends to change the output prediction scores, which breaks downstream users of the model. For these security-oriented models we need consistent false-positive rate (FPR) across all output values, whereas standard probability-calibration methods target class probability rather than an FPR contract. We introduce a method built on top of existing calibration primitives that targets the whole FPR curve, giving scores a consistent FPR meaning across deployments. On one held-out split, the observed relative FPR error was at most 2.3% from 10% down to 0.1% FPR and 7.2% at 0.01% FPR. The shipped artifact remains under 200 KB in measurements across calibration sets from 1K to 10M benign samples.

kNNGuard: Turning LLM Hidden Activations into a Training-Free Configurable Guardrail

Mahmoud Abdelfattah, Hamid Nasiri, Peter Garraghan

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in domains requiring guardrails to detect unsafe, off-topic, or adversarial prompts. Existing guardrails predominantly rely on fine-tuning to build classifiers, which often suffer from low generalization and high inference la…

TRACE: Trajectory-Based Safety Patch Learning for LLM Post-Training Realignment

Changyue Li, Jiaming He, Youliang Yuan, Jialin Wu, Boxi Yu, Zhicong Huang, et al.

Fine-Tuning-as-a-Service (FTaaS) platforms let users train large language models (LLMs) on customized tasks, but this pipeline could erode models' safety alignment. In practice, service providers need to recover models' safety without re-running full alignment, or destroying the…

On the Inseparability of Instructions and Data in Shared-Embedding Sequence Models

Dewank Pant, Shruti Lohani, Avijit Kumar

Prompt injection is the top security risk for LLM-integrated applications, yet every defense proposed so far has been broken. We prove this is not a coincidence: in shared-embedding architectures that lack enforced control-data separation, perfect prompt-injection prevention is m…
