Immunizing Models Against Harmful Long-Horizon Fine-Tuning via Contractive Optimization Dynamics

Najibul Haque Sarker, Zaber Ibn Abdul Hakim, Ali Asgarov, Chia-Wei Tang, Alvi Md Ishmam, Chris Thomas
CVPR 2026

Fine-tuning has become the default way to adapt powerful foundation models, but this also enables low-cost repurposing for harmful objectives. Existing immunization methods try to optimize local geometry or simulate short attacker horizons, and penalize observed loss drops. However, in practice, dow

Flexible-length Text Infilling for Discrete Diffusion Models

Andrew Zhang, Anushka Sivakumar, Chia-Wei Tang, Chris Thomas
EMNLP 2025

Discrete diffusion models are a new class of text generators that offer advantages such as bidirectional context use, parallelizable generation, and flexible prompting compared to autoregressive models. However, a critical limitation of discrete diffusion models is their inability to perform flexibl

JourneyBench: A Challenging One-Stop Vision-Language Understanding Benchmark of Generated Images

Zhecan Wang, Junzhang Liu, Chia-Wei Tang, Hani Alomari, Anushka Sivakumar, Rui Sun +8
NeurIPS 2024poster

Existing vision-language understanding benchmarks largely consist of images of objects in their usual contexts. As a consequence, recent multimodal large language models can perform well with only a shallow visual understanding by relying on background language biases. Thus, strong performance on th…

M3D: MultiModal MultiDocument Fine-Grained Inconsistency Detection

Chia-Wei Tang, Ting-Chih Chen, Kiet A. Nguyen, Kazi Sajeed Mehrab, Alvi Md Ishmam, Chris Thomas
EMNLP 2024main

Fact-checking claims is a highly laborious task that involves understanding how each factual assertion within the claim relates to a set of trusted source materials. Existing approaches make sample-level predictions but fail to identify the specific aspects of the claim that are troublesome and the…

MetaSumPerceiver: Multimodal Multi-Document Evidence Summarization for Fact-Checking

Ting-Chih Chen, Chia-Wei Tang, Chris Thomas
ACL 2024long

Fact-checking real-world claims often requires reviewing multiple multimodal documents in order to assess the claim’s truthfulness, a highly laborious and time-consuming task. In this paper, we present a summarization model crafted to generate claim-specific summaries useful for fact-checking from m…
