FENCE: A Financial and Multimodal Jailbreak Detection Dataset

Abstract

Jailbreaking poses a significant risk to the deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models (VLMs). VLMs are particularly vulnerable because they process both text and images, creating broader attack surfaces. However, available resources for jailbreak detection are scarce, particularly in finance. To address this gap, we present FENCE, a bilingual (Korean-English) multimodal dataset for training and evaluating jailbreak detectors in financial applications. FENCE emphasizes domain realism through finance-relevant queries paired with image-grounded threats. Experiments with commercial and open-source VLMs reveal consistent vulnerabilities, with GPT-4o showing measurable attack success rates and open-source models displaying greater exposure. A baseline detector trained on FENCE achieves 99 percent in-distribution accuracy and maintains strong performance on external benchmarks, underscoring the dataset's robustness for training reliable detection models. FENCE provides a focused resource for advancing multimodal jailbreak detection in finance and for supporting safer, more reliable AI systems in sensitive domains.

Evaluating LLMs on Conversational Text-to-SQL under Chain Ambiguity and Intent Drift

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have established conversational text-to-SQL as a practical interface between users and databases, often involving multiple turns of clarification and revision. However, existing benchmarks primarily evaluate execution accuracy, leaving the unfolding and shifting of user intent across turns largely uncovered. To address this, we introduce TIDE-Bench, a benchmark for conversational text-to-SQL under chain ambiguity and intent drift evaluation, targeting two recurring patterns: chain ambiguity, where an underspecified question triggers layered clarification with conditional dependencies, and intent drift, where the user retracts and replaces a previously committed request element. Built on 514 anchor SQLs from BIRD, TIDE-Bench comprises 1,542 samples and introduces dedicated metrics for chain identification and drift recognition-resolution beyond execution accuracy. Evaluating 12 advanced LLMs reveals a persistent chain identification bottleneck unaffected by clarification frequency, a wide drift recognition-resolution gap, and overlap between failure modes when jointly activated. The corresponding code of TIDE-Bench is released for further research.

Are These Modules Worth Their Cost? A Paradigm-Level Accuracy-Cost Analysis of In-context Learning Text-to-SQL

Recent advances in in-context learning (ICL) text-to-SQL have substantially improved execution accuracy on public benchmarks by assembling increasingly elaborate pipelines around the base generator, yet existing studies typically report aggregate end-to-end accuracy, without quantifying the marginal accuracy-cost contribution of individual design choices. Consequently, providing a unified, paradigm-level cost-accuracy quantification remains a critical challenge for understanding and configuring modern text-to-SQL. To address this, we instantiate 17 paradigm-level configurations across five recurring modules of the ICL text-to-SQL pipeline under a single controlled implementation, and attribute each paradigm's marginal contribution and incurred cost across all four backbones spanning diverse capability levels and reasoning styles. Our analysis reveals that execution-feedback refinement is the only paradigm whose benefit holds universally at consistently low cost, while most other modules help only under backbone-dependent conditions. Token accounting shows that input demand is more closely tied to pipeline structure, whereas output demand is more sensitive to backbone generation behavior. Cross-module analysis further shows that stacking improves accuracy on most backbones, although how the gains compose varies with backbone capability. We also find that a fixed budget is often better spent engineering a more elaborate pipeline over a mid-tier backbone than upgrading to a frontier model with a lean pipeline. These findings distill into an actionable, cost-aware tiered guideline that transfers to five additional backbones without per-paradigm search.

Select, Don't Train: The Benefits of Modular Entity Disambiguation with LLM-Based Selection

Entity Disambiguation (ED) is a key task for constructing and using knowledge graphs. State-of-the-art neural approaches commonly model ED as a single task, although it consists of two distinct subproblems: retrieving candidate entities and selecting the correct one given context. Dual-encoder models optimize for both within a shared embedding space, forcing representations to balance high-recall retrieval with fine-grained selection, and they require trained retrievers, which are costly to maintain as knowledge graphs change. While recent work has begun to combine retrievers with LLM-based selectors, the interplay between the two stages has not been studied systematically. In this paper, we present a systematic comparison of retrieval strategies for candidate generation under a shared LLM-based selection stage, combining sparse retrieval (BM25), Web KB search, and a state-of-the-art trained dense retriever with several open- and closed-source LLMs. We show that, once selection is delegated to a capable LLM, training the retriever provides only modest additional value: a fully training-free BM25 retriever paired with an LLM selector reaches a new state of the art on the ZELDA benchmark, raising inKB micro-F1 from 82.3 to 86.3 (+4); pairing the same LLM with a trained dense retriever reaches 88.5. Decoupling retrieval from selection also exposes a limitation of current ED systems: when the correct entity is missing from retrieved candidates, they are forced to predict an incorrect entity. In contrast, our framework allows for abstention when retrieval failure is detected. In an evaluation setting that rewards correct abstentions, the training-free BM25 + LLM pipeline reaches 90.7 F1.
