CASE: Causal Alignment and Structural Enforcement for Improving Chain-of-Thought Faithfulness
Ziming Wang, Yinghua Yao, Changwu Huang +2
Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning is widely used to improve both the performance and interpretability of large language models (LLMs), yet the generated reasoning may not faithfully…
Posterior Distribution-assisted Evolutionary Dynamic Optimization as an Online Calibrator for Complex Social Simulations
Peng Yang, Zhenhua Yang, Boquan Jiang +3
The calibration of simulators for complex social systems aims to identify the optimal parameter that drives the output of the simulator best matching the target data observed from…
Integrating Knowledge Distillation Methods: A Sequential Multi-Stage Framework
Yinxi Tian, Changwu Huang, Ke Tang +1
Knowledge distillation (KD) transfers knowledge from large teacher models to compact student models, enabling efficient deployment on resource constrained devices. While diverse KD…
On the Fairness of Privacy Protection: Measuring and Mitigating the Disparity of Group Privacy Risks for Differentially Private Machine Learning
Zhi Yang, Changwu Huang, Ke Tang +1
While significant progress has been made in conventional fairness-aware machine learning (ML) and differentially private ML (DPML), the fairness of privacy protection across groups…
Procedural Fairness and Its Relationship with Distributive Fairness in Machine Learning
Ziming Wang, Changwu Huang, Ke Tang +1
Fairness in machine learning (ML) has garnered significant attention in recent years. While existing research has predominantly focused on the distributive fairness of ML models, t…
