Ranking Manipulation for Conversational Search Engines

EMNLP 2024main

Major search engine providers are rapidly incorporating Large Language Model (LLM)-generated content in response to user queries. These *conversational search engines* operate by loading retrieved website text into the LLM context for summarization and interpretation. Recent research demonstrates th…

Transport of Algebraic Structure to Latent Embeddings

ICML 2024spotlight

Machine learning often aims to produce latent embeddings of inputs which lie in a larger, abstract mathematical space. For example, in the field of 3D modeling, subsets of Euclidean space can be embedded as vectors using implicit neural representations. Such subsets also have a natural algebraic str…

Asymmetric Certified Robustness via Feature-Convex Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2023poster

Real-world adversarial attacks on machine learning models often feature an asymmetric structure wherein adversaries only attempt to induce false negatives (e.g., classify a spam email as not spam). We formalize the asymmetric robustness certification problem and correspondingly present the feature-c…

ContactNets: Learning Discontinuous Contact Dynamics with Smooth, Implicit Representations

CoRL 2020

Common methods for learning robot dynamics assume motion is continuous, causing unrealistic model predictions for systems undergoing discontinuous impact and stiction behavior. In this work, we resolve this conflict with a smooth, implicit encoding of the structure inherent to contact-induced discon
