How we reproduced three attacks that extract private training data from AI models and the cryptographic defenses that stop them.
A new framework provides a statistical method for estimating the likelihood of catastrophic failures in large language models in adversarial conversations.
Isabelle/HOL's balance of expressiveness, automation, and scalability enabled the world's first formally verified cloud hypervisor.
A single, optimized LLM unifies what previously required multiple models and can serve as a reasoning partner for medical chemists.
The Antibody Developability Benchmark is powered by one of the most diverse antibody datasets in public literature, enabling transparent performance evaluation for AI-guided antibody design.

2024Visual document understanding (VDU) is a challenging task that involves understanding documents across various modalities (text and image) and layouts (forms, tables, etc.). This study aims to enhance generalizability of small VDU models by distilling knowledge from LLMs. We identify that directly prompting LLMs often fails to generate informative and useful data. In response, we present a new framework

2024Many eCommerce systems source product information from millions of sellers and manufactures, each having their own proprietary schemas, and employ schema matching solutions to structure it to enable informative shopping experiences. Meanwhile, state-of-the-art machine translation techniques have demonstrated great success in building context-aware representations that generalize well to new languages with

EMNLP 2024 Workshop on Social Influence in Conversations2024Information-Seeking Dialogue (ISD) agents aim to provide accurate responses to user queries. While proficient in directly addressing user queries, these agents, as well as LLMs in general, predominantly exhibit reactive behavior, lacking the ability to generate proactive responses that actively engage users in sustained conversations. However, existing definitions of proactive dialogue in this context do

2024Query Autocomplete (QAC) is a critical feature in modern search engines, facilitating user interaction by predicting search queries based on input prefixes. Despite its widespread adoption, the absence of large-scale, realistic datasets has hindered advancements in QAC system development. This paper addresses this gap by introducing AmazonQAC, a new QAC dataset sourced from Amazon Search logs, comprising

NeurIPS 2024 Workshop on Fine-Tuning in Modern Machine Learning: Principles and Scalability2024In LLM alignment and many other ML applications, one often faces the MultiObjective Fine-Tuning (MOFT) problem, i.e. fine-tuning an existing model with datasets labeled w.r.t. different objectives simultaneously. To address the challenge, we propose the HyperDPO framework, a hypernetwork-based approach that extends the Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) technique, originally developed for efficient LLM
