From Interpretability to Control: Insights from Six Years of the TrustNLP Workshop
Rahul Gupta, Abhinav Mohanty, Anaelia Ovalle +10
The Workshop on Trustworthy Natural Language Processing (TrustNLP), co-located with major ACL conferences since 2021, has grown from 8 proceedings papers to 41 over six editions, d…
Code Monitor Red Teaming for Public-Test-Passing Code
Junchi Liao, Jiawen Deng, Fuji Ren
Visible tests are a common gate for LLM-generated code, but passing them does not certify specification correctness. We study a deployment-like monitoring problem: after code has p…
SWAN: Semantic Watermarking with Abstract Meaning Representation
Ziping Ye, Gourab Dey, Christos Christodoulopoulos +7
We introduce SWAN (Semantic Watermarking with Abstract Meaning Representation), a novel framework that embeds watermark signatures into the semantic structure of a sentence using A…
Emergent Strategic Reasoning Risks in AI: A Taxonomy-Driven Evaluation Framework
Tharindu Kumarage, Lisa Bauer, Yao Ma +7
As reasoning capacity and deployment scope grow in tandem, large language models (LLMs) gain the capacity to engage in behaviors that serve their own objectives, a class of risks w…
Towards Safety Reasoning in LLMs: AI-agentic Deliberation for Policy-embedded CoT Data Creation
Tharindu Kumarage, Ninareh Mehrabi, Anil Ramakrishna +6
Safety reasoning is a recent paradigm where LLMs reason over safety policies before generating responses, thereby mitigating limitations in existing safety measures such as over-re…
Strategize Globally, Adapt Locally: A Multi-Turn Red Teaming Agent with Dual-Level Learning
Si Chen, Xiao Yu, Ninareh Mehrabi +3
The exploitation of large language models (LLMs) for malicious purposes poses significant security risks as these models become more powerful and widespread. While most existing re…
K-Edit: Language Model Editing with Contextual Knowledge Awareness
Elan Markowitz, Anil Ramakrishna, Ninareh Mehrabi +4
As the world changes, we need to be able to update our models and correct false information without costly retraining. Knowledge-based model editing enables precise modifications t…
Attribute Controlled Fine-tuning for Large Language Models: A Case Study on Detoxification
Tao Meng, Ninareh Mehrabi, Palash Goyal +6
We propose a constraint learning schema for fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) with attribute control. Given a training corpus and control criteria formulated as a sequence-l…
Data Advisor: Dynamic Data Curation for Safety Alignment of Large Language Models
Fei Wang, Ninareh Mehrabi, Palash Goyal +3
Data is a crucial element in large language model (LLM) alignment. Recent studies have explored using LLMs for efficient data collection. However, LLM-generated data often suffers…
Tree-of-Traversals: A Zero-Shot Reasoning Algorithm for Augmenting Black-box Language Models with Knowledge Graphs
Elan Markowitz, Anil Ramakrishna, Jwala Dhamala +5
Knowledge graphs (KGs) complement Large Language Models (LLMs) by providing reliable, structured, domain-specific, and up-to-date external knowledge. However, KGs and LLMs are ofte…
Tokenization Matters: Navigating Data-Scarce Tokenization for Gender Inclusive Language Technologies
Anaelia Ovalle, Ninareh Mehrabi, Palash Goyal +6
Gender-inclusive NLP research has documented the harmful limitations of gender binary-centric large language models (LLM), such as the inability to correctly use gender-diverse Eng…
JAB: Joint Adversarial Prompting and Belief Augmentation
Ninareh Mehrabi, Palash Goyal, Anil Ramakrishna +6
With the recent surge of language models in different applications, attention to safety and robustness of these models has gained significant importance. Here we introduce a joint…
FLIRT: Feedback Loop In-context Red Teaming
Ninareh Mehrabi, Palash Goyal, Christophe Dupuy +6
Warning: this paper contains content that may be inappropriate or offensive. As generative models become available for public use in various applications, testing and analyzing vul…
"I'm fully who I am": Towards Centering Transgender and Non-Binary Voices to Measure Biases in Open Language Generation
Anaelia Ovalle, Palash Goyal, Jwala Dhamala +5
Transgender and non-binary (TGNB) individuals disproportionately experience discrimination and exclusion from daily life. Given the recent popularity and adoption of language gener…
Is the Elephant Flying? Resolving Ambiguities in Text-to-Image Generative Models
Ninareh Mehrabi, Palash Goyal, Apurv Verma +7
Natural language often contains ambiguities that can lead to misinterpretation and miscommunication. While humans can handle ambiguities effectively by asking clarifying questions…
An Analysis of the Effects of Decoding Algorithms on Fairness in Open-Ended Language Generation
Jwala Dhamala, Varun Kumar, Rahul Gupta +2
Several prior works have shown that language models (LMs) can generate text containing harmful social biases and stereotypes. While decoding algorithms play a central role in deter…
On the Intrinsic and Extrinsic Fairness Evaluation Metrics for Contextualized Language Representations
Yang Trista Cao, Yada Pruksachatkun, Kai-Wei Chang +4
Multiple metrics have been introduced to measure fairness in various natural language processing tasks. These metrics can be roughly categorized into two categories: 1) \emph{extri…
Mitigating Gender Bias in Distilled Language Models via Counterfactual Role Reversal
