An Expert Survey on Models and Digital Twins
Venue: arXiv cs.SE 2025
Year: 2025

Digital Twins (DTs) are becoming increasingly vital for future industrial applications, enhancing monitoring, control, and optimization of physical assets. This enhancement is made possible by integrating various Digital Models (DMs) within DTs, which must interoperate to represent different system aspects and fulfill diverse application purposes. However, industry perspectives on the challenges and research needs for integrating these models are rarely obtained. Thus, this study conducts an expert survey across multiple application domains to identify and analyze the challenges in utilizing diverse DMs within DTs. The results reveal missing standardized interfaces, high manual adaptation effort, and limited support for model reuse across lifecycle phases, highlighting future research needs in automated model composition and semantics-based interoperability.
Beyond the Scope: Security Testing of Permission Management in Team Workspace
Venue: arXiv cs.CR 2025
Year: 2025

Nowadays team workspaces are widely adopted for multi-user collaboration and digital resource management. To further broaden real-world applications, mainstream team workspaces platforms, such as Google Workspace and Microsoft OneDrive, allow third-party applications (referred to as add-ons) to be integrated into their workspaces, significantly extending the functionality of team workspaces. The powerful multi-user collaboration capabilities and integration of add-ons make team workspaces a central hub for managing shared resources and protecting them against unauthorized access. Due to the collaboration features of team workspaces, add-ons involved in collaborations may bypass the permission isolation enforced by the administrator, unlike in single-user permission management. This paper aims to investigate the permission management landscape of team workspaces add-ons. To this end, we perform an in-depth analysis of the enforced access control mechanism inherent in this ecosystem, considering both multi-user and cross-app features. We identify three potential security risks that can be exploited to cause permission escalation. We then systematically reveal the landscape of permission escalation risks in the current ecosystem. Specifically, we propose an automated tool, TAI, to systematically test all possible interactions within this ecosystem. Our evaluation reveals that permission escalation vulnerabilities are widespread in this ecosystem, with 41 interactions identified as problematic. Our findings should raise an alert to both the team workspaces platforms and third-party developers.
Context manipulation attacks : Web agents are susceptible to corrupted memory
Venue: arXiv cs.CR 2025
Year: 2025

Autonomous web navigation agents, which translate natural language instructions into sequences of browser actions, are increasingly deployed for complex tasks across e-commerce, information retrieval, and content discovery. Due to the stateless nature of large language models (LLMs), these agents rely heavily on external memory systems to maintain context across interactions. Unlike centralized systems where context is securely stored server-side, agent memory is often managed client-side or by third-party applications, creating significant security vulnerabilities. This was recently exploited to attack production systems. We introduce and formalize "plan injection," a novel context manipulation attack that corrupts these agents' internal task representations by targeting this vulnerable context. Through systematic evaluation of two popular web agents, Browser-use and Agent-E, we show that plan injections bypass robust prompt injection defenses, achieving up to 3x higher attack success rates than comparable prompt-based attacks. Furthermore, "context-chained injections," which craft logical bridges between legitimate user goals and attacker objectives, lead to a 17.7% increase in success rate for privacy exfiltration tasks. Our findings highlight that secure memory handling must be a first-class concern in agentic systems.
P2MFDS: A Privacy-Preserving Multimodal Fall Detection System for Elderly People in Bathroom Environments
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

By 2050, people aged 65 and over are projected to make up 16 percent of the global population. As aging is closely associated with increased fall risk, particularly in wet and confined environments such as bathrooms where over 80 percent of falls occur. Although recent research has increasingly focused on non-intrusive, privacy-preserving approaches that do not rely on wearable devices or video-based monitoring, these efforts have not fully overcome the limitations of existing unimodal systems (e.g., WiFi-, infrared-, or mmWave-based), which are prone to reduced accuracy in complex environments. These limitations stem from fundamental constraints in unimodal sensing, including system bias and environmental interference, such as multipath fading in WiFi-based systems and drastic temperature changes in infrared-based methods. To address these challenges, we propose a Privacy-Preserving Multimodal Fall Detection System for Elderly People in Bathroom Environments. First, we develop a sensor evaluation framework to select and fuse millimeter-wave radar with 3D vibration sensing, and use it to construct and preprocess a large-scale, privacy-preserving multimodal dataset in real bathroom settings, which will be released upon publication. Second, we introduce P2MFDS, a dual-stream network combining a CNN-BiLSTM-Attention branch for radar motion dynamics with a multi-scale CNN-SEBlock-Self-Attention branch for vibration impact detection. By uniting macro- and micro-scale features, P2MFDS delivers significant gains in accuracy and recall over state-of-the-art approaches. Code and pretrained models will be made available at: https://github.com/HaitianWang/P2MFDS-A-Privacy-Preserving-Multimodal-Fall-Detection-Network-for-Elderly-Individuals-in-Bathroom.
A Novel Multi-layer Task-centric and Data Quality Framework for Autonomous Driving
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

The next-generation autonomous vehicles (AVs), embedded with frequent real-time decision-making, will rely heavily on a large volume of multisource and multimodal data. In real-world settings, the data quality (DQ) of different sources and modalities usually varies due to unexpected environmental factors or sensor issues. However, both researchers and practitioners in the AV field overwhelmingly concentrate on models/algorithms while undervaluing the DQ. To fulfill the needs of the next-generation AVs with guarantees of functionality, efficiency, and trustworthiness, this paper proposes a novel task-centric and data quality vase framework which consists of five layers: data layer, DQ layer, task layer, application layer, and goal layer. The proposed framework aims to map DQ with task requirements and performance goals. To illustrate, a case study investigating redundancy on the nuScenes dataset proves that partially removing redundancy on multisource image data could improve YOLOv8 object detection task performance. Analysis on multimodal data of image and LiDAR further presents existing redundancy DQ issues. This paper opens up a range of critical but unexplored challenges at the intersection of DQ, task orchestration, and performance-oriented system development in AVs. It is expected to guide the AV community toward building more adaptive, explainable, and resilient AVs that respond intelligently to dynamic environments and heterogeneous data streams.

AndroIDS : Android-based Intrusion Detection System using Federated Learning
Venue: arXiv cs.CR 2025
Year: 2025

The exponential growth of android-based mobile IoT systems has significantly increased the susceptibility of devices to cyberattacks, particularly in smart homes, UAVs, and other connected mobile environments. This article presents a federated learning-based intrusion detection framework called AndroIDS that leverages system call traces as a personalized and privacy-preserving data source. Unlike conventional centralized approaches, the proposed method enables collaborative anomaly detection without sharing raw data, thus preserving user privacy across distributed nodes. A generalized system call dataset was generated to reflect realistic android system behavior and serves as the foundation for experimentation. Extensive evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the FL model under both IID and non-IID conditions, achieving an accuracy of 96.46 % and 92.87 %, and F1-scores of 89 % and 86 %, respectively. These results highlight the models robustness to data heterogeneity, with only a minor performance drop in the non-IID case. Further, a detailed comparison with centralized deep learning further illustrates trade-offs in detection performance and deployment feasibility. Overall, the results validate the practical applicability of the proposed approach for secure and scalable intrusion detection in real-world mobile IoT scenarios.
AI-based Multimodal Biometrics for Detecting Smartphone Distractions: Application to Online Learning
Venue: arXiv cs.CY 2025
Year: 2025

This work investigates the use of multimodal biometrics to detect distractions caused by smartphone use during tasks that require sustained attention, with a focus on computer-based online learning. Although the methods are applicable to various domains, such as autonomous driving, we concentrate on the challenges learners face in maintaining engagement amid internal (e.g., motivation), system-related (e.g., course design) and contextual (e.g., smartphone use) factors. Traditional learning platforms often lack detailed behavioral data, but Multimodal Learning Analytics (MMLA) and biosensors provide new insights into learner attention. We propose an AI-based approach that leverages physiological signals and head pose data to detect phone use. Our results show that single biometric signals, such as brain waves or heart rate, offer limited accuracy, while head pose alone achieves 87%. A multimodal model combining all signals reaches 91% accuracy, highlighting the benefits of integration. We conclude by discussing the implications and limitations of deploying these models for real-time support in online learning environments.
AI based Content Creation and Product Recommendation Applications in E-commerce: An Ethical overview
Venue: arXiv cs.CY 2025
Year: 2025

As e-commerce rapidly integrates artificial intelligence for content creation and product recommendations, these technologies offer significant benefits in personalization and efficiency. AI-driven systems automate product descriptions, generate dynamic advertisements, and deliver tailored recommendations based on consumer behavior, as seen in major platforms like Amazon and Shopify. However, the widespread use of AI in e-commerce raises crucial ethical challenges, particularly around data privacy, algorithmic bias, and consumer autonomy. Bias -- whether cultural, gender-based, or socioeconomic -- can be inadvertently embedded in AI models, leading to inequitable product recommendations and reinforcing harmful stereotypes. This paper examines the ethical implications of AI-driven content creation and product recommendations, emphasizing the need for frameworks to ensure fairness, transparency, and need for more established and robust ethical standards. We propose actionable best practices to remove bias and ensure inclusivity, such as conducting regular audits of algorithms, diversifying training data, and incorporating fairness metrics into AI models. Additionally, we discuss frameworks for ethical conformance that focus on safeguarding consumer data privacy, promoting transparency in decision-making processes, and enhancing consumer autonomy. By addressing these issues, we provide guidelines for responsibly utilizing AI in e-commerce applications for content creation and product recommendations, ensuring that these technologies are both effective and ethically sound.
Resource Rational Contractualism Should Guide AI Alignment
Venue: arXiv cs.AI 2025
Year: 2025

AI systems will soon have to navigate human environments and make decisions that affect people and other AI agents whose goals and values diverge. Contractualist alignment proposes grounding those decisions in agreements that diverse stakeholders would endorse under the right conditions, yet securing such agreement at scale remains costly and slow -- even for advanced AI. We therefore propose Resource-Rational Contractualism (RRC): a framework where AI systems approximate the agreements rational parties would form by drawing on a toolbox of normatively-grounded, cognitively-inspired heuristics that trade effort for accuracy. An RRC-aligned agent would not only operate efficiently, but also be equipped to dynamically adapt to and interpret the ever-changing human social world.
Dataset of soil images with corresponding particle size distributions for photogranulometry
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Traditional particle size distribution (PSD) analyses create significant downtime and are expensive in labor and maintenance. These drawbacks could be alleviated using optical grain size analysis integrated into routine geotechnical laboratory workflow. This paper presents a high-resolution dataset of 12,714 images of 321 different soil samples collected in the Montreal, Quebec region, alongside their PSD analysis. It is designed to provide a robust starting point for training convolutional neural networks (CNN) in geotechnical applications. Soil samples were photographed in a standardized top-view position with a resolution of 45 MP and a minimum scale of 39.4 micrometers per pixel, both in their moist and dry states. A custom test bench employing 13x9 inch white aluminum trays, on which the samples are spread in a thin layer, was used. For samples exceeding a size limit, a coning and quartering method was employed for mass reduction.
On the Parameterized Complexity of Semitotal Domination on Graph Classes
Venue: arXiv cs.CC 2025
Year: 2025

For a given graph $G = (V, E)$, a subset of the vertices $D\subseteq V$ is called a semitotal dominating set, if $D$ is a dominating set and every vertex $v \in D$ is within distance two to another witness $v' \in D$. We want to find a semitotal dominating set of minimum cardinality. We show that the problem is $\mathrm{W}[2]$-hard on bipartite and split graphs when parameterized by the solution size $k$. On the positive side, we extend the kernelization technique of Alber, Fellows, and Niedermeier [JACM 2004] to obtain a linear kernel of size $358k$ on planar graphs. This result complements known linear kernels already known for several variants, including Total, Connected, Red-Blue, Efficient, Edge, and Independent Dominating Set.
Few-Shot, Now for Real: Medical VLMs Adaptation without Balanced Sets or Validation
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Vision-language models (VLMs) are gaining attention in medical image analysis. These are pre-trained on large, heterogeneous data sources, yielding rich and transferable representations. Notably, the combination of modality-specialized VLMs with few-shot adaptation has provided fruitful results, enabling the efficient deployment of high-performing solutions. However, previous works on this topic make strong assumptions about the distribution of adaptation data, which are unrealistic in the medical domain. First, prior art assumes access to a balanced support set, a condition that breaks the natural imbalance in disease prevalence found in real-world scenarios. Second, these works typically assume the presence of an additional validation set to fix critical hyper-parameters, which is highly data-inefficient. This work challenges these favorable deployment scenarios and introduces a realistic, imbalanced, validation-free adaptation setting. Our extensive benchmark across various modalities and downstream tasks demonstrates that current methods systematically compromise their performance when operating under realistic conditions, occasionally even performing worse than zero-shot inference. Also, we introduce a training-free linear probe that adaptively blends visual and textual supervision. Detailed studies demonstrate that the proposed solver is a strong, efficient baseline, enabling robust adaptation in challenging scenarios.
Predicting E-commerce Purchase Behavior using a DQN-Inspired Deep Learning Model for enhanced adaptability
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

This paper presents a novel approach to predicting buying intent and product demand in e-commerce settings, leveraging a Deep Q-Network (DQN) inspired architecture. In the rapidly evolving landscape of online retail, accurate prediction of user behavior is crucial for optimizing inventory management, personalizing user experiences, and maximizing sales. Our method adapts concepts from reinforcement learning to a supervised learning context, combining the sequential modeling capabilities of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks with the strategic decision-making aspects of DQNs. We evaluate our model on a large-scale e-commerce dataset comprising over 885,000 user sessions, each characterized by 1,114 features. Our approach demonstrates robust performance in handling the inherent class imbalance typical in e-commerce data, where purchase events are significantly less frequent than non-purchase events. Through comprehensive experimentation with various classification thresholds, we show that our model achieves a balance between precision and recall, with an overall accuracy of 88\% and an AUC-ROC score of 0.88. Comparative analysis reveals that our DQN-inspired model offers advantages over traditional machine learning and standard deep learning approaches, particularly in its ability to capture complex temporal patterns in user behavior. The model's performance and scalability make it well-suited for real-world e-commerce applications dealing with high-dimensional, sequential data. This research contributes to the field of e-commerce analytics by introducing a novel predictive modeling technique that combines the strengths of deep learning and reinforcement learning paradigms. Our findings have significant implications for improving demand forecasting, personalizing user experiences, and optimizing marketing strategies in online retail environments.
SELFI: Selective Fusion of Identity for Generalizable Deepfake Detection
Venue: arXiv cs.CV 2025
Year: 2025

Face identity provides a powerful signal for deepfake detection. Prior studies show that even when not explicitly modeled, classifiers often learn identity features implicitly. This has led to conflicting views: some suppress identity cues to reduce bias, while others rely on them as forensic evidence. To reconcile these views, we analyze two hypotheses: (1) whether face identity alone is discriminative for detecting deepfakes, and (2) whether such identity features generalize poorly across manipulation methods. Our experiments confirm that identity is informative but context-dependent. While some manipulations preserve identity-consistent artifacts, others distort identity cues and harm generalization. We argue that identity features should neither be blindly suppressed nor relied upon, but instead be explicitly modeled and adaptively controlled based on per-sample relevance. We propose \textbf{SELFI} (\textbf{SEL}ective \textbf{F}usion of \textbf{I}dentity), a generalizable detection framework that dynamically modulates identity usage. SELFI consists of: (1) a Forgery-Aware Identity Adapter (FAIA) that extracts identity embeddings from a frozen face recognition model and projects them into a forgery-relevant space via auxiliary supervision; and (2) an Identity-Aware Fusion Module (IAFM) that selectively integrates identity and visual features using a relevance-guided fusion mechanism. Experiments on four benchmarks show that SELFI improves cross-manipulation generalization, outperforming prior methods by an average of 3.1\% AUC. On the challenging DFDC dataset, SELFI exceeds the previous best by 6\%. Code will be released upon paper acceptance.
Full-body WPT: wireless powering with meandered e-textiles
Venue: arXiv cs.HC 2025
Year: 2025

We present Full-body WPT, wireless power networking around the human body using a meandered textile coil. Unlike traditional inductive systems that emit strong fields into the deep tissue inside the body, the meander coil enables localized generation of strong magnetic field constrained to the skin surface, even when scaled to the size of the human body. Such localized inductive system enhances both safety and efficiency of wireless power around the body. Furthermore, the use of low-loss conductive yarn achieve energy-efficient and lightweight design. We analyze the performance of our design through simulations and experimental prototypes, demonstrating high power transfer efficiency and adaptability to user movement and posture. Our system provides a safe and efficient distributed power network using meandered textile coils integrated into wearable materials, highlighting the potential of body-centric wireless power networking as a foundational layer for ubiquitous health monitoring, augmented reality, and human-machine interaction systems.
Exploiting Efficiency Vulnerabilities in Dynamic Deep Learning Systems
Venue: arXiv cs.LG 2025
Year: 2025

The growing deployment of deep learning models in real-world environments has intensified the need for efficient inference under strict latency and resource constraints. To meet these demands, dynamic deep learning systems (DDLSs) have emerged, offering input-adaptive computation to optimize runtime efficiency. While these systems succeed in reducing cost, their dynamic nature introduces subtle and underexplored security risks. In particular, input-dependent execution pathways create opportunities for adversaries to degrade efficiency, resulting in excessive latency, energy usage, and potential denial-of-service in time-sensitive deployments. This work investigates the security implications of dynamic behaviors in DDLSs and reveals how current systems expose efficiency vulnerabilities exploitable by adversarial inputs. Through a survey of existing attack strategies, we identify gaps in the coverage of emerging model architectures and limitations in current defense mechanisms. Building on these insights, we propose to examine the feasibility of efficiency attacks on modern DDLSs and develop targeted defenses to preserve robustness under adversarial conditions.
