Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have been shown to be vulnerable to malicious queries that can elicit unsafe responses. Recent work uses prompt engineering, response classification, or finetuning to improve MLLM safety. Nevertheless, such approaches are often ineffective against evolving ma
Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance across many tasks but remain vulnerable to hallucinations, motivating the need to find adversarial prompts that realistically elicit such failures. We formulate hallucination elicitation as a constrained optimization problem, where the goal is …
Diffusion models are widely used for image editing tasks. Existing editing methods often design a representation manipulation procedure by curating an edit direction in the text embedding or score space. However, such a procedure faces a key challenge: overestimating the edit strength harms visual c…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in high-risk domains. However, state-of-the-art LLMs often produce hallucinations, raising serious concerns about their reliability. Prior work has explored adversarial attacks for hallucination elicitation in LLMs, but it often produces unreali…
Despite the empirical success of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) in fine-tuning pre-trained models, there is little theoretical understanding of how first-order methods with carefully crafted initialization adapt models to new tasks. In this work, we take the first step towards bridging this gap by theor…
The problem of generating a perpetual dynamic scene from a single view is an important problem with widespread applications in augmented and virtual reality, and robotics. However, since dynamic scenes regularly change over time, a key challenge is to ensure that different generated views be consist…
Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of Neuro-Symbolic (NeSy) AI systems, which integrate symbolic reasoning into deep neural networks. However, most of the existing benchmarks for NeSy AI fail to provide long-horizon reasoning tasks with complex multi-agent interactions. Furthermore, t…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used for a wide variety of tasks. While they are capable of generating human-like responses, they can also produce undesirable output including potentially harmful information, racist or sexist language, and hallucinations. Alignment methods are designed to red…
When it comes to deploying deep vision models, the behavior of these systems must be explicable to ensure confidence in their reliability and fairness. A common approach to evaluate deep learning models is to build a labeled test set with attributes of interest and assess how well it performs. Howev…
Adversarial training is one of the most effective approaches for deep learning models to defend against adversarial examples. Unlike other defense strategies, adversarial training aims to enhance the robustness of models intrinsically. During the past few years, adversarial training has been studi…
