TARDIS: Mitigating Temporal Misalignment via Representation Steering

Changho Shin, Xinya Yan, Suenggwan Jo +3

Language models often struggle with temporal misalignment, performance degradation caused by shifts in the temporal distribution of data. Continuously updating models to avoid degr…

OTTER: Effortless Label Distribution Adaptation of Zero-shot Models

Changho Shin, Jitian Zhao, Sonia Cromp +2

Popular zero-shot models suffer due to artifacts inherited from pretraining. One particularly detrimental issue, caused by unbalanced web-scale pretraining data, is mismatched labe…

Multimodal Data Curation via Object Detection and Filter Ensembles

Tzu-Heng Huang, Changho Shin, Sui Jiet Tay +2

We propose an approach for curating multimodal data that we used for our entry in the 2023 DataComp competition filtering track. Our technique combines object detection and weak su…

Geometry-Aware Adaptation for Pretrained Models

Nicholas Roberts, Xintong Li, Dyah Adila +4

Machine learning models -- including prominent zero-shot models -- are often trained on datasets whose labels are only a small proportion of a larger label space. Such spaces are c…

Mitigating Source Bias for Fairer Weak Supervision

Changho Shin, Sonia Cromp, Dyah Adila +1

Weak supervision enables efficient development of training sets by reducing the need for ground truth labels. However, the techniques that make weak supervision attractive -- such…

Lifting Weak Supervision To Structured Prediction

Harit Vishwakarma, Nicholas Roberts, Frederic Sala

Weak supervision (WS) is a rich set of techniques that produce pseudolabels by aggregating easily obtained but potentially noisy label estimates from a variety of sources. WS is th…
