Toward Calibrated, Fair, and accurate Deepfake Detection

Ryan Brown, Chris Russell

Deepfake detectors show large performance gaps across demographic groups. Existing fairness approaches require demographic labels, retraining, or sacrifice accuracy. We introduce F…

Adaptive Calibration for Fair and Performant Facial Recognition

Ryan Brown, Chris Russell

We introduce Adaptive Calibration (AC), a novel calibration strategy for facial recognition that maps cosine similarity between normalized embeddings to well-calibrated probabiliti…

LLMs Encode Their Failures: Predicting Success from Pre-Generation Activations

William Lugoloobi, Thomas Foster, William Bankes +1

Running LLMs with extended reasoning on every problem is expensive, but determining which inputs actually require additional compute remains challenging. We investigate whether the…

Task-Specific Knowledge Distillation via Intermediate Probes

Ryan Brown, Chris Russell

Knowledge distillation from large language models (LLMs) assumes that the teacher's output distribution is a high-quality training signal. On reasoning tasks, this assumption is fr…

LLMs Encode How Difficult Problems Are

William Lugoloobi, Chris Russell

Large language models exhibit a puzzling inconsistency: they solve complex problems yet frequently fail on seemingly simpler ones. We investigate whether LLMs internally encode pro…

DELTA: Dual Consistency Delving with Topological Uncertainty for Active Graph Domain Adaptation

Pengyun Wang, Yadi Cao, Chris Russell +5

Graph domain adaptation has recently enabled knowledge transfer across different graphs. However, without the semantic information on target graphs, the performance on target graph…
