Ling Tang (唐灵)

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Now, I am currently serving as an intern at Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. I am also a member of Lab for Interpretability and Theory-Driven Deep Learning, School of Computer Science and advised by Prof. Quanshi Zhang. My current research focuses on AI interpretability and AI safety.

Interpreting Emergent Extreme Events in Multi-Agent Systems
Ling Tang, Jilin Mei, Dongrui Liu, Chen Qian, Dawei Cheng, Jing Shao, Xia Hu
Arxiv, 2026
arXiv  / 

This paper proposes the first framework for explaining emergent extreme events in multi-agent systems, aiming to answer three fundamental questions: When does the event originate? Who drives it? And what behaviors contribute to it?

AgentDoG: A Diagnostic Guardrail Framework for AI Agent Safety and Security
Dongrui Liu, Qihan Ren, Chen Qian, Shuai Shao, Yuejin Xie, Yu Li, Zhonghao Yang, Haoyu Luo, Peng Wang, Qingyu Liu, Binxin Hu, Ling Tang, Jilin Mei, Dadi Guo, Leitao Yuan, ...
Arxiv, 2026
arXiv  /  GitHub  /  Huggingface

We first propose a unified three-dimensional taxonomy that orthogonally categorizes agentic risks by their source (where), failure mode (how), and consequence (what).

The Why Behind the Action: Unveiling Internal Drivers via Agentic Attribution
Chen Qian, Peng Wang, Dongrui Liu, Junyao Yang, Dadi Guo, Ling Tang, Jilin Mei, Qihan Ren, Shuai Shao, Yong Liu, Jie Fu, Jing Shao, Xia Hu
Arxiv, 2026
arXiv

We propose a novel framework for general agentic attribution, designed to identify the internal factors driving agent actions regardless of the task outcome.

Towards the Resistance of Neural Network Fingerprinting to Fine-tuning
Ling Tang, Yuefeng Chen, Hui Xue, Quanshi Zhang
NeurIPS, 2025
arXiv  /  GitHub  /  机器之心 /  知乎

This paper proves a new watermarking method to embed the ownership information into a deep neural network (DNN), which is robust to fine-tuning.

Defects of Convolutional Decoder Networks in Frequency Representation
Ling Tang*, Wen Shen*, Zhanpeng Zhou, Quanshi Zhang
ICML, 2023
arXiv  /  GitHub  /  知乎

In this paper, we prove the representation problems with a cascaded convolutional decoder network, considering the capacity of representing different frequency components of an input sample.

Batch Normalization Is Blind to the First and Second Derivatives of the Loss
Zhanpeng Zhou*, Wen Shen*, Huixin Chen*, Ling Tang, Quanshi Zhang
AAAI, 2024 (Oral)
arXiv  /  GitHub  /  知乎

In this paper, we prove the effects of the BN operation on the back-propagation of the first and second derivatives of the loss.
