The democratization of machine learning systems has made the process of fine-tuning accessible to practitioners, leading to a wide range of open-source models fine-tuned on specialized tasks and datasets. Recent work has proposed to merge such models to combine their functionalities. However, prior…
Model fingerprinting has emerged as a powerful tool for model owners to identify their shared model given API access. In order to lower false discovery rate, fight fingerprint leakage, and defend against coalitions of model users attempting to bypass detection, we argue that scaling up the number of…
Modern video generation models like Sora have achieved remarkable success in producing high-quality videos. However a significant limitation is their inability to offer interactive control to users a feature that promises to open up unprecedented applications and creativity. In this work we introduc…
Deep Neural Networks are known to be brittle to even minor distribution shifts compared to the training distribution. While one line of work has demonstrated that \emph{Simplicity Bias} (SB) of DNNs -- bias towards learning only the simplest features -- is a key reason for this brittleness, another…
Recent experiments in computer vision demonstrate texture bias as the primary reason for supreme results in models employing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), conflicting with early works claiming that these networks identify objects using shape. It is believed that the cost function forces the…
Multimodal research has picked up significantly in the space of question answering with the task being extended to visual question answering, charts question answering as well as multimodal input question answering. However, all these explorations produce a unimodal textual output as the answer. In…
In several real world applications, machine learning models are deployed to make predictions on data whose distribution changes gradually along time, leading to a drift between the train and test distributions. Such models are often re-trained on new data periodically, and they hence need to general…
Various Neural Networks employ time-consuming matrix operations like matrix inversion. Many such matrix operations are faster to compute given the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). Techniques from (Zhang et al., 2018; Mhammedi et al., 2017) allow using the SVD in Neural Networks without computing…
