Text watermarking helps identify AI-generated content, but its effect on factual reliability remains underexplored. In this paper, we study watermarking hallucination: factual errors induced or amplified by watermarking even when the required evidence is present in the context and the unwatermarked model can answer cor …
Debate distillation adapts weaker verifiers using multi-agent debate transcripts to improve their judgement in subsequent debates, but gains on monitored tasks do not establish reliability on related unmonitored tasks. We study epistemic reliability degradation, in which adaptation preserves monitored performance while …
Text-to-image diffusion models enable data-efficient "mimicry" attacks, wherein adversaries fine-tune the model on a handful of public photos to synthesize convincing forgeries of a target individual. A common countermeasure is to embed imperceptible, low-energy watermarks, yet recent studies show these signatures are …
Multimodal training relies on image-text corpora collected from external sources, creating opportunities for attackers to poison the data. Stealthy attacks can preserve plausible image-text pairs while concealing the differences used by detectors, so apparently clean data can still redirect the trained model. We theref …
