A Dataset for Modeling Iterative Problem-Solving

Fagun Patel, Sang T. Truong, Duc Q. Nguyen +4

Solving problems through repeated attempts is a sequential modeling task: at each step, the solver receives feedback and decides how to revise their solutions. Predicting whether p…

What to Forget in Unlearning? Forget Set Curation for Language Models

Animesh Jha, Arpandeep Khatua, Youssef Allouah +1

Machine unlearning aims to remove targeted data or behaviors from a trained model without retraining from scratch. Yet most evaluations assume that the examples to forget are alrea…

The Illusion of Robustness: Aggregate Accuracy Hides Prediction Flips under Task-Irrelevant Context

Yanzhe Zhang, Sanmi Koyejo, Diyi Yang

As large language models (LLMs) grow more capable, they are increasingly deployed in context-rich settings where task inputs are often accompanied by long, partially irrelevant con…

Same Evidence, Different Answer: Auditing Order Sensitivity in Multimodal Large Language Models

Akshay Paruchuri, Sanmi Koyejo, Ehsan Adeli

Standard benchmarks for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) score each item on one canonical ordering and miss whether order-irrelevant shuffling changes the answer, a baselin…

CHI-Bench: Can AI Agents Automate End-to-End, Long-Horizon, Policy-Rich Healthcare Workflows?

Haolin Chen, Deon Metelski, Leon Qi +30

End-to-end automation of realistic healthcare operations stresses three capabilities underrepresented in current benchmarks: policy density, decisions must be grounded in a large l…

In-Situ Behavioral Evaluation for LLM Fairness, Not Standardized-Test Scores

Zeyu Tang, Sang T. Truong, Deonna Owens +4

LLM fairness should be evaluated through in-situ behavioral pattern rather than standardized-test Q&A benchmarks. We show that the standardized-test paradigm can be structurally un…

HEART: A Unified Benchmark for Assessing Humans and LLMs in Emotional Support Dialogue

Laya Iyer, Kriti Aggarwal, Sanmi Koyejo +3

Supportive conversation depends on skills that go beyond language fluency, including reading emotions, adjusting tone, and navigating moments of resistance, frustration, or distres…

Structured Prompts Improve Evaluation of Language Models

Asad Aali, Muhammad Ahmed Mohsin, Vasiliki Bikia +15

As language models (LMs) are increasingly adopted across domains, high-quality benchmarking frameworks are essential for guiding deployment decisions. In practice, however, framewo…

MedVAL: Toward Expert-Level Medical Text Validation with Language Models

Asad Aali, Vasiliki Bikia, Maya Varma +24

With the growing use of language models (LMs) in clinical environments, there is an immediate need to evaluate the accuracy and safety of LM-generated medical text. Currently, such…

MedHELM: Holistic Evaluation of Large Language Models for Medical Tasks

Suhana Bedi, Hejie Cui, Miguel Fuentes +78

While large language models (LLMs) achieve near-perfect scores on medical licensing exams, these evaluations inadequately reflect the complexity and diversity of real-world clinica…

Language Models May Verbatim Complete Text They Were Not Explicitly Trained On

Ken Ziyu Liu, Christopher A. Choquette-Choo, Matthew Jagielski +4

An important question today is whether a given text was used to train a large language model (LLM). A \emph{completion} test is often employed: check if the LLM completes a suffici…

Correlating and Predicting Human Evaluations of Language Models from Natural Language Processing Benchmarks

Rylan Schaeffer, Punit Singh Koura, Binh Tang +11

The explosion of high-performing conversational language models (LMs) has spurred a shift from classic natural language processing (NLP) benchmarks to expensive, time-consuming and…

Failures to Find Transferable Image Jailbreaks Between Vision-Language Models

Rylan Schaeffer, Dan Valentine, Luke Bailey +12

The integration of new modalities into frontier AI systems offers exciting capabilities, but also increases the possibility such systems can be adversarially manipulated in undesir…

Lottery Ticket Adaptation: Mitigating Destructive Interference in LLMs

Ashwinee Panda, Berivan Isik, Xiangyu Qi +3

Existing methods for adapting large language models (LLMs) to new tasks are not suited to multi-task adaptation because they modify all the model weights -- causing destructive int…

Scaling Laws for Downstream Task Performance of Large Language Models

Berivan Isik, Natalia Ponomareva, Hussein Hazimeh +3

Scaling laws provide important insights that can guide the design of large language models (LLMs). Existing work has primarily focused on studying scaling laws for pretraining (ups…

Beyond Scale: The Diversity Coefficient as a Data Quality Metric for Variability in Natural Language Data

Brando Miranda, Alycia Lee, Sudharsan Sundar +4

Current trends in pre-training Large Language Models (LLMs) primarily focus on the scaling of model and dataset size. While the quality of pre-training data is considered an import…
