ASSERT: A Measurement Pipeline for GenAI Audits
Riccardo Fogliato, Abhinav Palia, Xiawei Wang +11
Audits of generative AI (GenAI) systems often summarize behavior as a reported rate: how often the audited system complies with policy. Researchers and stakeholders use that rate t…
AI-Assisted Systematization for Evaluating GenAI Systems
Dhruv Agarwal, Emily Sheng, Chad Atalla +6
Evaluating generative AI (GenAI) systems is challenging because many targets of evaluation are broad, contested concepts, such as "reasoning," "fairness," or "creativity." When the…
Comparison requires valid measurement: Rethinking attack success rate comparisons in AI red teaming
Alexandra Chouldechova, A. Feder Cooper, Solon Barocas +3
We argue that conclusions drawn about relative system safety or attack method efficacy via AI red teaming are often not supported by evidence provided by attack success rate (ASR)…
Validating LLM-as-a-Judge Systems under Rating Indeterminacy
Luke Guerdan, Solon Barocas, Kenneth Holstein +3
The LLM-as-a-judge paradigm, in which a judge LLM system replaces human raters in rating the outputs of other generative AI (GenAI) systems, plays a critical role in scaling and st…
Taxonomizing Representational Harms using Speech Act Theory
Emily Corvi, Hannah Washington, Stefanie Reed +9
Representational harms are widely recognized among fairness-related harms caused by generative language systems. However, their definitions are commonly under-specified. We make a…
Understanding and Meeting Practitioner Needs When Measuring Representational Harms Caused by LLM-Based Systems
Emma Harvey, Emily Sheng, Su Lin Blodgett +4
The NLP research community has made publicly available numerous instruments for measuring representational harms caused by large language model (LLM)-based systems. These instrumen…
