Generative Value Conflicts Reveal LLM Priorities

Andy Liu, Kshitish Ghate, Mona Diab +3

Past work seeks to align large language model (LLM)-based assistants with a target set of values, but such assistants are frequently forced to make tradeoffs between values when de…

Intrinsic Bias is Predicted by Pretraining Data and Correlates with Downstream Performance in Vision-Language Encoders

Kshitish Ghate, Isaac Slaughter, Kyra Wilson +2

While recent work has found that vision-language models trained under the Contrastive Language Image Pre-training (CLIP) framework contain intrinsic social biases, the extent to wh…

Biases Propagate in Encoder-based Vision-Language Models: A Systematic Analysis From Intrinsic Measures to Zero-shot Retrieval Outcomes

Kshitish Ghate, Tessa Charlesworth, Mona Diab +1

To build fair AI systems we need to understand how social-group biases intrinsic to foundational encoder-based vision-language models (VLMs) manifest in biases in downstream tasks.…
