DETONATE – A Benchmark for Text-to-Image Alignment and Kernelized Direct Preference Optimization

AAAI 2026technical

Alignment is crucial for text-to-image (T2I) models to ensure that the generated images faithfully capture user intent while maintaining safety and fairness. Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) has emerged as a key alignment technique for large language models (LLMs), and its influence is now exten

PECCVAI: Overcoming the Brittleness of AI Image Watermarking Under Visual Paraphrasing Attacks

CVPR 2026

By 2026, up to 90% of online content may be synthetically generated, raising urgent concerns about the proliferation of AI-driven disinformation. In response, policymakers and technology companies are turning to watermarking as a safeguard: California's Bill AB 321 mandates watermarking of AI-genera

Alignment Quality Index (AQI) : Beyond Refusals: AQI as an Intrinsic Alignment Diagnostic via Latent Geometry, Cluster Divergence, and Layer wise Pooled Representations

EMNLP 2025

Alignment is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity. As large language models (LLMs) enter high-stakes domains like education, healthcare, governance, and law, their behavior must reliably reflect human-aligned values and safety constraints. Yet current evaluations rely heavily on behavioral proxies

KnowledgePrompts: Exploring the Abilities of Large Language Models to Solve Proportional Analogies via Knowledge-Enhanced Prompting

COLING 2025main

Making analogies is fundamental to cognition. Proportional analogies, which consist of four terms, are often used to assess linguistic and cognitive abilities. For instance, completing analogies like “Oxygen is to Gas as < blank > is to < blank >" requires identifying the semantic relationship (e.g.…

ANALOGICAL - A Novel Benchmark for Long Text Analogy Evaluation in Large Language Models

ACL 2023findings

Over the past decade, analogies, in the form of word-level analogies, have played a significant role as an intrinsic measure of evaluating the quality of word embedding methods such as word2vec. Modern large language models (LLMs), however, are primarily evaluated on extrinsic measures based on benc…

FACTIFY-5WQA: 5W Aspect-based Fact Verification through Question Answering

ACL 2023long

Automatic fact verification has received significant attention recently. Contemporary automatic fact-checking systems focus on estimating truthfulness using numerical scores which are not human-interpretable. A human fact-checker generally follows several logical steps to verify a verisimilitude cla…
