2025 DMFI: A Dual-Modality Log Analysis Framework for Insider Threat Detection with LoRA-Tuned Language Models
abstract
Insider threat detection (ITD) poses a persistent and high-impact challenge in cybersecurity due to the subtle, long-term, and context-dependent nature of malicious insider behaviors. Traditional models often struggle to capture semantic intent and complex behavior dynamics, while existing LLMbased solutions face limitations in prompt adaptability and modality coverage. To bridge this gap, we propose DMFI, a dual-modality framework that integrates semantic inference with behavior-aware fine-tuning. DMFI converts raw logs into two structured views: (1) a semantic view that processes content-rich artifacts (e.g., emails, https) using instruction-formatted prompts; and (2) a behavioral abstraction, constructed via a 4 W -guided (When-Where-What-Which) transformation to encode contextual action sequences. Two LoRA-enhanced LLMs are fine-tuned independently, and their outputs are fused via a lightweight MLP-based decision module. We further introduce DMFI-B, a discriminative adaptation strategy that separates normal and abnormal behavior representations, improving robustness under severe class imbalance. Experiments on CERT r4.2 and r5.2 datasets demonstrate that DMFI outperforms state-of-the-art methods in detection accuracy. Our approach combines the semantic reasoning power of LLMs with structured behavior modeling, offering a scalable and effective solution for real-world insider threat detection.

2024 Goal-Guided Generative Prompt Injection Attack on Large Language Models
abstract
Current large language models (LLMs) provide a strong foundation for large-scale user-oriented natural language tasks. Numerous users can easily inject adversarial text or instructions through the user interface, thus causing LLM model security challenges. Although there is much research on prompt injection attacks, most black-box attacks use heuristic strategies. It is unclear how these heuristic strategies relate to the success rate of attacks and thus effectively improve model robustness. To solve this problem, we redefine the goal of the attack: to maximize the KL divergence between the conditional probabilities of the clean text and the adversarial text. Furthermore, we prove that maximizing the KL divergence is equivalent to maximizing the Mahalanobis distance between the embedded representation$x$and$x^{\prime}$of the clean text and the adversarial text when the conditional probability is a Gaussian distribution and gives a quantitative relationship on$x$and$x^{\prime}$. Then we designed a simple and effective goal-guided generative prompt injection strategy (G2PIA) to find an injection text that satisfies specific constraints to achieve the optimal attack effect approximately. Notably, our attack method is a query-free black-box attack method with a low computational cost. Experimental results on seven LLM models and four datasets show the effectiveness of our attack method.

2023 Context Does Matter: End-to-end Panoptic Narrative Grounding with Deformable Attention Refined Matching Network
abstract
Panoramic Narrative Grounding (PNG) is an emerging visual grounding task that aims to segment visual objects in images based on dense narrative captions. The current state-of-the-art methods first refine the representation of phrase by aggregating the most similar k image pixels, and then match the refined text representations with the pixels of the image feature map to generate segmentation results. However, simply aggregating sampled image features ignores the contextual information, which can lead to phrase-to-pixel mis-match. In this paper, we propose a novel learning framework called Deformable Attention Refined Matching Network (DRMN), whose main idea is to bring deformable attention in the iterative process of feature learning to incorporate essential context information of different scales of pixels. DRMN iteratively re-encodes pixels with the deformable attention network after updating the feature representation of the top-k most similar pixels. As such, DRMN can lead to accurate yet discriminative pixel representations, purify the top-k most similar pixels, and consequently alleviate the phrase-to-pixel mis-match substantially. Experimental results show that our novel design significantly improves the matching results between text phrases and image pixels. Concretely, DRMN achieves new state-of-the-art performance on the PNG benchmark with an average recall improvement 3.5%. The codes are available in: https://github.com/JaMesLiMers/DRMN.

2017 Boosting the phishing detection performance by semantic analysis
abstract
Phishing is increasingly severe in recent years, which seriously threatens the privacy and property security of netizens. Phishing is essentially a counterfeiting of brands. In order to effectively cheat the victim, phishing sites are visually and semantically highly similar to real sites. In recent years, anti-phishing methods based on machine learning are mainstream anti-phishing methods. The effectiveness of the machine learning models hinges on the extracted statistical features. However, the extracted statistical features mainly focus on visual similarity, stealing information and third-party services, which ignore the semantic information of web pages. Therefore, we extract a series of semantic features through word2vec to better describe the features of phishing sites, and further fuse them with other multi-scale statistical features to construct a more robust phishing detection model. The experimental results on the actual data sets show that the majority of phishing websites are effectively identified by only mining the semantic features of word embeddings. The phishing detection models based on fusion features obtained the best detection results, which shows that semantic features and other statistical features have good complementarity. The proposed method provides a promising way for phishing detection in actual Internet environment, which boosts the phishing detection performance effectively.
