Determining when to leave for the airport is a complex problem shaped by flight delay risk, traffic, weather, airport congestion, and passenger-specific constraints. Existing services rely on isolated delay estimates or simple travel time calculations, failing to capture real-time context. We propos
Deep learning models achieve strong performance across various domains but often rely on spurious correlations, making them vulnerable to distribution shifts. This issue is particularly severe in subpopulation shift scenarios, where models struggle in underrepresented groups. While existing methods…
Learning robust models under distribution shifts between training and test datasets is a fundamental challenge in machine learning. While learning invariant features across environments is a popular approach, it often assumes that these features are fully observed in both training and test sets--a c…
Addressing the challenges in QA for specific technical domains requires identifying relevant portions of extensive documents and generating answers based on this focused content. Traditional pre-trained LLMs often struggle with domain-specific terminology, while fine-tuned LLMs demand substantial co
Large language models excel in a wide range of natural language processing tasks, but generating factually accurate and consistent outputs remains a challenge. To improve text reliability, Contrastive Decoding (CD) refines token selection by leveraging differences between an expert and base model, p…
