SALAAD: Sparse And Low-Rank Adaptation via ADMM for Large Language Model Inference

ICML 2026poster

Modern large language models are increasingly deployed under compute and memory constraints, making flexible control of model capacity a central challenge. While sparse and low-rank structures naturally trade off capacity and performance, existing approaches often rely on heuristic designs that igno…

Adversarial Training for Defense Against Label Poisoning Attacks

ICLR 2025poster

As machine learning models grow in complexity and increasingly rely on publicly sourced data, such as the human-annotated labels used in training large language models, they become more vulnerable to label poisoning attacks. These attacks, in which adversaries subtly alter the labels within a traini…

Optimistic Games for Combinatorial Bayesian Optimization with Application to Protein Design

ICLR 2025poster

Bayesian optimization (BO) is a powerful framework to optimize black-box expensive-to-evaluate functions via sequential interactions. In several important problems (e.g. drug discovery, circuit design, neural architecture search, etc.), though, such functions are defined over large $\textit{combinat…
