COBRA: Catastrophic Bit-flip Reliability Analysis of State-Space Models

arXiv — cs.LGTuesday, December 23, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • The COBRA study highlights the vulnerabilities of state-space models (SSMs), particularly the Mamba architecture, to catastrophic bit-flip attacks that can compromise model integrity and accuracy. This analysis is crucial as SSMs gain traction in real-world applications due to their efficiency and scalability compared to traditional transformer models.
  • Understanding the susceptibility of SSMs to hardware-induced threats is vital for ensuring their reliability and security in deployment, especially as they are increasingly adopted in various sectors.
  • The ongoing exploration of SSMs, including their expressive capacity and memory characteristics, underscores a broader trend in AI research focused on enhancing model robustness and performance while addressing potential risks associated with their implementation.

Stuffed Mamba: Oversized States Lead to the Inability to Forget
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
Recent research highlights challenges faced by Mamba-based models in effectively forgetting earlier tokens, even with built-in mechanisms, due to training on contexts that are too short for their state size. This leads to performance degradation and incoherent outputs when processing longer sequences.
SfMamba: Efficient Source-Free Domain Adaptation via Selective Scan Modeling
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The introduction of SfMamba marks a significant advancement in source-free domain adaptation (SFDA), addressing the challenges of adapting models to unlabeled target domains without access to source data. This framework enhances the selective scan mechanism of Mamba, enabling efficient long-range dependency modeling while tackling limitations in capturing critical channel-wise frequency characteristics for domain alignment.
HiFi-Mamba: Dual-Stream W-Laplacian Enhanced Mamba for High-Fidelity MRI Reconstruction
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The introduction of HiFi-Mamba, a dual-stream Mamba-based architecture, aims to enhance high-fidelity MRI reconstruction from undersampled k-space data by addressing key limitations of existing Mamba variants. The architecture features stacked W-Laplacian and HiFi-Mamba blocks, which separate low- and high-frequency streams to improve image fidelity and detail.
