Bridging Explainability and Embeddings: BEE Aware of Spuriousness

ICLR 2026poster

Current methods for detecting spurious correlations rely on data splits or error patterns, leaving many harmful shortcuts invisible when counterexamples are absent. We introduce BEE (Bridging Explainability and Embeddings), a framework that shifts the focus from model predictions to the weight space…

Rethinking the Authorship Verification Experimental Setups

EMNLP 2022main

One of the main drivers of the recent advances in authorship verification is the PAN large-scale authorship dataset. Despite generating significant progress in the field, inconsistent performance differences between the closed and open test sets have been reported. To this end, we improve the experi…

VeriDark: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Authorship Verification on the Dark Web

NeurIPS 2022accept

The Dark Web represents a hotbed for illicit activity, where users communicate on different market forums in order to exchange goods and services. Law enforcement agencies benefit from forensic tools that perform authorship analysis, in order to identify and profile users based on their textual cont…

Anomaly Detection in Video via Self-Supervised and Multi-Task Learning

CVPR 2021poster

Anomaly detection in video is a challenging computer vision problem. Due to the lack of anomalous events at training time, anomaly detection requires the design of learning methods without full supervision. In this paper, we approach anomalous event detection in video through self-supervised and mul…

Black-Box Ripper: Copying black-box models using generative evolutionary algorithms

NeurIPS 2020oral

We study the task of replicating the functionality of black-box neural models, for which we only know the output class probabilities provided for a set of input images. We assume back-propagation through the black-box model is not possible and its training images are not available, e.g. the model co…
