A researcher used more than 2,000 em-dashes in his papers, revealing AI-based manipulation in 400+ papers since 1985. Professor Zeller claims he "typed" these dashes into the paper by using "two hyphens" and a "typesetting" system.

Our lightweight adversarial fine-tuning attack lets you bend a feature to visualize any arbitrary concept. Off-manifold, we impose a hyperbolic activation landscape with its optimum at the target, while preserving on-distribution activations through a weighted two-term loss. 🕵️♀️
