Visual prompt engineering for video models

Robert Geirhos, Yuxuan Li, Thaddäus Wiedemer +7

In the age of foundation models, a model is only as good as its prompt. For this reason, prompt engineering has become an essential technique for improving language model performan…

The ACUTE Protocol: Operationalizing Language Model Activations for Better Calibration, Utility, and Trust

Nishant Subramani, Palash Goyal, Yiwen Song +4

As language models improve and become increasingly deployed to solve a variety of tasks, trustworthiness becomes essential. Calibration is a good proxy for trust: well-calibrated c…

Hiding in Plain Text: Detecting Concealed Jailbreaks via Activation Disentanglement

Amirhossein Farzam, Majid Behabahani, Mani Malek +2

Large language models (LLMs) remain vulnerable to jailbreak prompts that are fluent and semantically coherent, and therefore difficult to detect with standard heuristics. A particu…

Interpreting and Controlling Model Behavior via Constitutions for Atomic Concept Edits

Neha Kalibhat, Zi Wang, Prasoon Bajpai +4

We introduce a black-box interpretability framework that learns a verifiable constitution: a natural language summary of how changes to a prompt affect a model's specific behavior,…

ShieldGemma 2: Robust and Tractable Image Content Moderation

Wenjun Zeng, Dana Kurniawan, Ryan Mullins +14

We introduce ShieldGemma 2, a 4B parameter image content moderation model built on Gemma 3. This model provides robust safety risk predictions across the following key harm categor…

FEL: High Capacity Learning for Recommendation and Ranking via Federated Ensemble Learning

Meisam Hejazinia, Dzmitry Huba, Ilias Leontiadis +7

Federated learning (FL) has emerged as an effective approach to address consumer privacy needs. FL has been successfully applied to certain machine learning tasks, such as training…

Papaya: Practical, Private, and Scalable Federated Learning

Dzmitry Huba, John Nguyen, Kshitiz Malik +11

Cross-device Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed learning paradigm with several challenges that differentiate it from traditional distributed learning, variability in the syst…

Opacus: User-Friendly Differential Privacy Library in PyTorch

Ashkan Yousefpour, Igor Shilov, Alexandre Sablayrolles +9

We introduce Opacus, a free, open-source PyTorch library for training deep learning models with differential privacy (hosted at opacus.ai). Opacus is designed for simplicity, flexi…

Federated Learning with Buffered Asynchronous Aggregation

John Nguyen, Kshitiz Malik, Hongyuan Zhan +4

Scalability and privacy are two critical concerns for cross-device federated learning (FL) systems. In this work, we identify that synchronous FL - synchronized aggregation of clie…

Antipodes of Label Differential Privacy: PATE and ALIBI

Mani Malek, Ilya Mironov, Karthik Prasad +2

We consider the privacy-preserving machine learning (ML) setting where the trained model must satisfy differential privacy (DP) with respect to the labels of the training examples.…
