Disparities In Negation Understanding Across Languages In Vision-Language Models

Charikleia Moraitaki, Sarah Pan, Skyler Pulling +3

Vision-language models (VLMs) exhibit affirmation bias: a systematic tendency to select positive captions ("X is present") even when the correct description contains negation ("no…

Complementing Self-Consistency with Cross-Model Disagreement for Uncertainty Quantification

Kimia Hamidieh, Veronika Thost, Walter Gerych +2

Large language models (LLMs) often produce confident yet incorrect responses, and uncertainty quantification is one potential solution to more robust usage. Recent works routinely…

SFTMix: Elevating Language Model Instruction Tuning with Mixup Recipe

Yuxin Xiao, Shujian Zhang, Wenxuan Zhou +2

To acquire instruction-following capabilities, large language models (LLMs) undergo instruction tuning, where they are trained on instruction-response pairs using next-token predic…

Reaching Beyond the Mode: RL for Distributional Reasoning in Language Models

Isha Puri, Mehul Damani, Idan Shenfeld +3

Given a question, a language model (LM) implicitly encodes a distribution over possible answers. In practice, post-training procedures for LMs often collapse this distribution onto…

MOSAIC: Modeling Social AI for Content Dissemination and Regulation in Multi-Agent Simulations

Genglin Liu, Vivian Le, Salman Rahman +3

We present a novel, open-source social network simulation framework, MOSAIC, where generative language agents predict user behaviors such as liking, sharing, and flagging content.…

Speak Easy: Eliciting Harmful Jailbreaks from LLMs with Simple Interactions

Yik Siu Chan, Narutatsu Ri, Yuxin Xiao +1

Despite extensive safety alignment efforts, large language models (LLMs) remain vulnerable to jailbreak attacks that elicit harmful behavior. While existing studies predominantly f…
