🧠This research paper examines physical adversarial attacks on AI surveillance systems through a surveillance-oriented lens, emphasizing that robustness cannot be assessed from isolated image benchmarks alone. The study highlights critical gaps in current evaluation practices, including temporal persistence across frames, multi-modal sensing (visible and infrared), realistic attack carriers, and system-level objectives that must be tested under actual deployment constraints.

🧠A new study comparing three LLM approaches to mathematical reasoning found that pure chain-of-thought prompting outperforms code execution methods in robustness across problem variations. When math problems were modified with simple changes like different names or numbers, code-based approaches showed greater accuracy drops, challenging the assumption that code execution improves reasoning reliability.
