• Abstract: Intimate Partner Infiltration (IPI)--a type of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) that typically requires physical access to a victim's device--is a pervasive concern in the United States, often manifesting through digital surveillance, control, and monitoring. Unlike conventional cyberattacks, IPI perpetrators leverage close proximity and personal knowledge to circumvent standard protections, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. While security clinics and other human-centered approaches effectively tailor solutions for survivors, their scalability remains constrained by resource limitations and the need for specialized counseling. In this paper, we present AID, an Automated IPI Detection system that continuously monitors for unauthorized access and suspicious behaviors on smartphones. AID employs a two-stage architecture to process multimodal signals stealthily and preserve user privacy. A brief calibration phase upon installation enables AID to adapt to each user's behavioral patterns, achieving high accuracy with minimal false alarms. Our 27-participant user study demonstrates that AID achieves highly accurate detection of non-owner access and fine-grained IPI-related activities, attaining an end-to-end top-3 F1 score of 0.981 with a false positive rate of 4%. These findings suggest that AID can serve as a forensic tool within security clinics, scaling their ability to identify IPI tactics and deliver personalized, far-reaching support to survivors.

  Collaborative perception (CP) is a promising method for safe connected and autonomous driving. We propose a new paradigm for malicious agent detection that effectively identifies malicious agents at the feature level. We also develop a robust defense method called CP-Guard+, which enhances the margin between the representations of benign and malicious features.

  This study presents a novel semi-supervised approach for ASD detection using AutoEncoder-based Machine Learning (ML) methods. Our approach utilizes data collected manually through a serious game specifically designed for this purpose. Since the sensitive data collected by the gamified application are susceptible to privacy leakage, we developed a Federated Learning framework.

Our system named attention-enhanced deep learning for presence detection (ALPD) employs an attention mechanism to automatically select informative subcarriers from the CSI data. We evaluate the proposed ALPD system by deploying a pair of WiFi access points (APs) for collecting CSI dataset, which is further compared with several benchmarks.
