RoME: Robust Mixture of Low-Rank Experts against Multiple Adversarial PerturbationsWoo Jae Kim, Kyle Min, Suhyeon Ha et al.
Multi-perturbation adversarial training (MAT) aims to achieve robustness against multiple $\ell_p$ perturbations but suffers from robustness trade-offs between different threats. To address this, we employ a mixture of experts (MoE) to route different threats through distinct model pathways. However, naive application of MoE encounters two critical challenges: experts tend to overlook threat-specific features and redundantly capture features shared across threats, and gating networks suffer from threat-agnostic routing where they learn nearly identical routing patterns across threats, thus preventing the construction of threat-specific model pathways. To this end, we propose Robust Mixture of Low-Rank Experts (RoME), where each expert is a low-rank additive update to the shared backbone, allowing it to capture threat-common features while experts focus on threat-specific information. To address threat-agnostic routing, RoME introduces (i) dual-scale gating that exploits threat-discriminative signals from local and global level features, and (ii) threat-guided gating diversification that enforces diverse expert utilization across threats. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RoME outperforms existing state-of-the-art MAT in union robustness and natural accuracy and improves robustness against unseen threats.

No Caption, No Problem: Caption-Free Membership Inference via Model-Fitted EmbeddingsJoonsung Jeon, Woo Jae Kim, Suhyeon Ha et al.
Latent diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in high-fidelity text-to-image generation, but their tendency to memorize training data raises critical privacy and intellectual property concerns. Membership inference attacks (MIAs) provide a principled way to audit such memorization by determining whether a given sample was included in training. However, existing approaches assume access to ground-truth captions. This assumption fails in realistic scenarios where only images are available and their textual annotations remain undisclosed, rendering prior methods ineffective when substituted with vision-language model (VLM) captions. In this work, we propose MoFit, a caption-free MIA framework that constructs synthetic conditioning inputs that are explicitly overfitted to the target model's generative manifold. Given a query image, MoFit proceeds in two stages: (i) model-fitted surrogate optimization, where a perturbation applied to the image is optimized to construct a surrogate in regions of the model's unconditional prior learned from member samples, and (ii) surrogate-driven embedding extraction, where a model-fitted embedding is derived from the surrogate and then used as a mismatched condition for the query image. This embedding amplifies conditional loss responses for member samples while leaving hold-outs relatively less affected, thereby enhancing separability in the absence of ground-truth captions. Our comprehensive experiments across multiple datasets and diffusion models demonstrate that MoFit consistently outperforms prior VLM-conditioned baselines and achieves performance competitive with caption-dependent methods.
