How Private Are DNA Embeddings? Inverting Foundation Model Representations of Genomic Sequences

This study demonstrates that DNA foundation models (DNABERT-2, Evo 2, and NTv2) are vulnerable to model inversion attacks, where adversaries can reconstruct sensitive genomic sequences from shared embeddings with high accuracy, particularly for shorter sequences and per-token representations, thereby highlighting critical privacy risks in Embeddings-as-a-Service frameworks.

Looking Back and Forth: Cross-Image Attention Calibration and Attentive Preference Learning for Multi-Image Hallucination Mitigation

This paper proposes CAPL, a framework that mitigates multi-image hallucinations in large vision-language models by introducing a selectable image token interaction mechanism for fine-grained cross-image alignment and a preference learning strategy that trains the model to rely on genuine visual evidence rather than textual priors.
