Steering Vision-Language Models for Visual-Contextual Privacy in Location Disclosure
Wenyue Chen, Yuhan Cheng, Ruixin Yang +5
Vision-language models (VLMs) can infer sensitive information such as geolocation from subtle visual cues, creating privacy risks when responses disclose more detail than the visua…
Reinforcement Learning over Predictive Distributions for LLM Regression
Jungsoo Park, Hyungjoo Chae, Ethan Mendes +4
Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as flexible regressors capable of predicting real-valued quantities from heterogeneous inputs. Yet most LLM regression objectives optimize…
Do Vision-Language Models Respect Contextual Integrity in Location Disclosure?
Ruixin Yang, Ethan Mendes, Arthur Wang +4
Vision-language models (VLMs) have demonstrated strong performance in image geolocation, a capability further sharpened by frontier multimodal large reasoning models (MLRMs). This…
Making Expert Reasoning Learnable with Self-Distillation
Ethan Mendes, Jungsoo Park, Alan Ritter
Improving the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) typically relies either on the model's ability to sample a correct solution to be reinforced or the existence o…
GeoRC: A Benchmark for Geolocation Reasoning Chains
Mohit Talreja, Joshua Diao, Jim Thannikary James +6
Vision Language Models (VLMs) are good at recognizing the global location of a photograph -- their geolocation prediction accuracy rivals the best human experts. But many VLMs are…
Anticipatory Evaluation of Language Models: Predicting LLM Benchmark Scores from Descriptions
Jungsoo Park, Ethan Mendes, Gabriel Stanovsky +1
Modern ML research increasingly faces an evaluation bottleneck: building benchmarks and running experiments is costly, slowing iteration. We ask how much can be inferred about eval…
Language Models can Self-Improve at State-Value Estimation for Better Search
Ethan Mendes, Alan Ritter
Collecting ground-truth rewards or human demonstrations for multi-step reasoning tasks is often prohibitively expensive, particularly in interactive domains such as web tasks. We i…
Granular Privacy Control for Geolocation with Vision Language Models
Ethan Mendes, Yang Chen, James Hays +3
Vision Language Models (VLMs) are rapidly advancing in their capability to answer information-seeking questions. As these models are widely deployed in consumer applications, they…
Tensor Trust: Interpretable Prompt Injection Attacks from an Online Game
Sam Toyer, Olivia Watkins, Ethan Adrian Mendes +9
While Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being used in real-world applications, they remain vulnerable to prompt injection attacks: malicious third party prompts that su…
Can Language Models be Instructed to Protect Personal Information?
Yang Chen, Ethan Mendes, Sauvik Das +2
Large multimodal language models have proven transformative in numerous applications. However, these models have been shown to memorize and leak pre-training data, raising serious…
Human-in-the-loop Evaluation for Early Misinformation Detection: A Case Study of COVID-19 Treatments
Ethan Mendes, Yang Chen, Wei Xu +1
We present a human-in-the-loop evaluation framework for fact-checking novel misinformation claims and identifying social media messages that support them. Our approach extracts che…
