CARE: Confounder-Aware Aggregation for Reliable LLM Evaluation

ICML 2026poster

LLM-as-a-judge ensembles are the standard paradigm for scalable evaluation, but their aggregation mechanisms suffer from a fundamental flaw: they implicitly assume that judges provide independent estimates of true quality. However, in practice, LLM judges exhibit correlated errors caused by shared l…

Linguistic Properties and Model Scale in Brain Encoding: From Small to Compressed Language Models

ICML 2026spotlight

Recent work has shown that scaling large language models (LLMs) improves their alignment with human brain activity, yet it remains unclear what drives these gains or which representational properties are responsible. Although larger models often yield better task performance and brain alignment, the…

Correlating instruction-tuning (in multimodal models) with vision-language processing (in the brain)

ICLR 2025poster

Transformer-based language models, though not explicitly trained to mimic brain recordings, have demonstrated surprising alignment with brain activity. Progress in these models—through increased size, instruction-tuning, and multimodality—has led to better representational alignment with neural data…

LETS Forecast: Learning Embedology for Time Series Forecasting

ICML 2025poster

Real-world time series are often governed by complex nonlinear dynamics. Understanding these underlying dynamics is crucial for precise future prediction. While deep learning has achieved major success in time series forecasting, many existing approaches do not explicitly model the dynamics. To brid…

Rethinking Confidence Scores and Thresholds in Pseudolabeling-based SSL

ICML 2025poster

Modern semi-supervised learning (SSL) methods rely on pseudolabeling and consistency regularization. Pseudolabeling is typically performed by comparing the model's confidence scores and a predefined threshold. While several heuristics have been proposed to improve threshold selection, the underlyin…

"RICA^2: Rubric-Informed, Calibrated Assessment of Actions"

ECCV 2024poster

"The ability to quantify how well an action is carried out, also known as action quality assessment (AQA), has attracted recent interest in the vision community. Unfortunately, prior methods often ignore the score rubric used by human experts and fall short of quantifying the uncertainty of the mode…

Pearls from Pebbles: Improved Confidence Functions for Auto-labeling

NeurIPS 2024poster

Auto-labeling is an important family of techniques that produce labeled training sets with minimum manual annotation. A prominent variant, threshold-based auto-labeling (TBAL), works by finding thresholds on a model's confidence scores above which it can accurately automatically label unlabeled data…

The Cost of Compression: Investigating the Impact of Compression on Parametric Knowledge in Language Models

EMNLP 2023long findings

Compressing large language models (LLMs), often consisting of billions of parameters, provides faster inference, smaller memory footprints, and enables local deployment. The standard compression techniques are pruning and quantization, with the former eliminating redundant connections in model laye…
