2024We study the problem of differentially private (DP) fine-tuning of large pre-trained models — a recent privacy-preserving approach suitable for solving downstream tasks with sensitive data. Existing work has demonstrated that high accuracy is possible under strong privacy constraint, yet requires significant computational overhead or modifications to the network architecture. We propose differentially private

CVPR 2024 Workshop on Responsible Generative AI2024Generative AI (GenAI) models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in a wide variety of medical tasks. However, as these models are trained using generalist datasets with very limited human oversight, they can learn uses of medical products that have not been adequately evaluated for safety and efficacy, nor approved by regulatory agencies. Given the scale at which GenAI may reach users, unvetted recommendations

SIGIR 2024 Workshop on eCommerce2024Effective question-intent understanding plays an important role in enhancing the performance of Question-Answering (QA) and Search systems. Previous research in open-domain QA has highlighted the value of intent taxonomies in comprehending data and facilitating answer generation and evaluation. However, existing taxonomies have limitations for specific domains. We’re interested in question intent for e-commerce

SIGIR 2024 Workshop on Generative Information Retrieval2024In this new LLM-world where users can ask any natural language question, the focus is on the generation of answers with reliable information while satisfying the original intent. LLMs are known to generate multiple versions of answers for the same question, some of which may be better than others. Identifying the most suitable response that adequately addresses the question is non-trivial. In order to tackle

2024The question-answering (QA) capabilities of foundation models are highly sensitive to prompt variations, rendering their performance susceptible to superficial, non-meaning-altering changes. This vulnerability often stems from the model’s preference or bias towards specific input characteristics, such as option position or superficial image features in multi-modal settings. We propose to rectify this bias
