Hallucination reduction with CASAL: Contrastive Activation Steering For Amortized Learning
Wannan, Yang, Xinchi Qiu +6
Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit impressive capabilities but often hallucinate, confidently providing incorrect answers instead of admitting ignorance. Prior work has shown tha…
Calibrating Verbal Uncertainty as a Linear Feature to Reduce Hallucinations
Ziwei Ji, Lei Yu, Yeskendir Koishekenov +6
LLMs often adopt an assertive language style also when making false claims. Such ``overconfident hallucinations'' mislead users and erode trust. Achieving the ability to express in…
Robust LLM safeguarding via refusal feature adversarial training
Lei Yu, Virginie Do, Karen Hambardzumyan +1
Large language models (LLMs) are vulnerable to adversarial attacks that can elicit harmful responses. Defending against such attacks remains challenging due to the opacity of jailb…
Privacy and Accuracy-Aware AI/ML Model Deduplication
Hong Guan, Lei Yu, Lixi Zhou +5
With the growing adoption of privacy-preserving machine learning algorithms, such as Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD), training or fine-tuning models on…
