Detecting Zero-Day Web Attacks with an Ensemble of LSTM, GRU, and Stacked Autoencoders

The rapid growth in web-based services has significantly increased security risks related to user information, as web-based attacks become increasingly sophisticated and prevalent. Traditional security methods frequently struggle to detect previously unknown zero-day web attacks, putting sensitiv...

How to Enhance Downstream Adversarial Robustness (Almost) without Touching the Pre-Trained Foundation Model?

With the rise of powerful foundation models, a pre-training-fine-tuning paradigm becomes increasingly popular these days: A foundation model is pre-trained using a huge amount of data from various sources, and then the downstream users only need to fine-tune and adapt it to specific downstream...
