SafeLens: Deliberate and Efficient Video Guardrails with Fast-and-Slow Screening
Shahriar Kabir Nahin, Hadi Askari, Muhao Chen +1
The rapid growth of online video platforms and AI-generated content has made reliable video guardrails a key challenge for safety and real-world deployment. While most videos can b…
FRIEDA: Benchmarking Multi-Step Cartographic Reasoning in Vision-Language Models
Jiyoon Pyo, Yuankun Jiao, Dongwon Jung +11
Cartographic reasoning is the skill of interpreting geographic relationships by aligning legends, map scales, compass directions, map texts, and geometries across one or more map i…
Less Diverse, Less Safe: The Indirect But Pervasive Risk of Test-Time Scaling in Large Language Models
Shahriar Kabir Nahin, Hadi Askari, Muhao Chen +1
Test-Time Scaling (TTS) improves LLM reasoning by exploring multiple candidate responses and then operating over this set to find the best output. A tacit premise behind TTS is tha…
RedCoder: Automated Multi-Turn Red Teaming for Code LLMs
Wenjie Jacky Mo, Qin Liu, Xiaofei Wen +5
Large Language Models (LLMs) for code generation (i.e., Code LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in AI-assisted software development and testing. However, recent studie…
LayerIF: Estimating Layer Quality for Large Language Models using Influence Functions
Hadi Askari, Shivanshu Gupta, Fei Wang +2
Pretrained Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve strong performance across a wide range of tasks, yet exhibit substantial variability in the various layers' training quality with re…
Unraveling Indirect In-Context Learning Using Influence Functions
Hadi Askari, Shivanshu Gupta, Terry Tong +3
In this work, we introduce a novel paradigm for generalized In-Context Learning (ICL), termed Indirect In-Context Learning. In Indirect ICL, we explore demonstration selection stra…
Assessing LLMs for Zero-shot Abstractive Summarization Through the Lens of Relevance Paraphrasing
Hadi Askari, Anshuman Chhabra, Muhao Chen +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved state-of-the-art performance at zero-shot generation of abstractive summaries for given articles. However, little is known about the robu…
Incentivizing News Consumption on Social Media Platforms Using Large Language Models and Realistic Bot Accounts
Hadi Askari, Anshuman Chhabra, Bernhard Clemm von Hohenberg +2
Polarization, declining trust, and wavering support for democratic norms are pressing threats to U.S. democracy. Exposure to verified and quality news may lower individual suscepti…
Revisiting Zero-Shot Abstractive Summarization in the Era of Large Language Models from the Perspective of Position Bias
Anshuman Chhabra, Hadi Askari, Prasant Mohapatra
We characterize and study zero-shot abstractive summarization in Large Language Models (LLMs) by measuring position bias, which we propose as a general formulation of the more rest…
A Utility-Preserving Obfuscation Approach for YouTube Recommendations
Jiang Zhang, Hadi Askari, Konstantinos Psounis +1
Online content platforms optimize engagement by providing personalized recommendations to their users. These recommendation systems track and profile users to predict relevant cont…
