The paper notes that few-shot adaptation enables calibration to unseen settings.","labels":["research","safety"],"sourceUrl":"http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/11541221","publishedAt":"2026-06-01T13:17:32.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":["model_evasion"],"issueType":"research","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":[],"affectedVendorsRaw":[],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-06-01T13:17:32.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"advanced","impactType":["integrity","safety"],"aiComponentTargeted":"model","llmSpecific":false,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":"peer_reviewed","atlasIds":null}}
