ProbLog4Fairness: A Neurosymbolic Approach to Modeling and Mitigating Bias

Rik Adriaensen, Lucas Van Praet, Jessa Bekker +3

Operationalizing definitions of fairness is difficult in practice, as multiple definitions can be incompatible while each being arguably desirable. Instead, it may be easier to dir…

Building and Measuring Trust between Large Language Models

Maarten Buyl, Yousra Fettach, Guillaume Bied +1

As large language models (LLMs) increasingly interact with each other, most notably in multi-agent setups, we may expect (and hope) that `trust' relationships develop between them,…

AI Alignment at Your Discretion

Maarten Buyl, Hadi Khalaf, Claudio Mayrink Verdun +3

In AI alignment, extensive latitude must be granted to annotators, either human or algorithmic, to judge which model outputs are `better' or `safer.' We refer to this latitude as a…
