Large language models (LLMs) achieve strong downstream performance largely due to abundant supervised fine-tuning (SFT) data that imparts problem-solving capabilities. However, as applications expand, high-quality SFT data in knowledge-intensive verticals (e.g., humanities and social sciences, medic…
The increasing deployment of large language model (LLM)-based chatbots has raised concerns regarding fairness. Fairness issues in LLMs may result in serious consequences, such as bias amplification, discrimination, and harm to minority groups. Many efforts are dedicated to evaluating and mitigating…
Visual Language Models such as CLIP excel in image recognition due to extensive image-text pre-training. However, applying the CLIP inference in zero-shot classification, particularly for medical image diagnosis, faces challenges due to: 1) the inadequacy of representing image classes solely with si…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable success across various tasks. However, separate training of visual and textual encoders often results in a misalignment of the modality. Such misalignment may lead models to generate content that is absent from the input image, a phen
Achieving consistent high-quality machine translation (MT) across diverse domains remains a significant challenge, primarily due to the limited and imbalanced parallel training data available in various domains. While large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive general understanding an…
Concerns regarding Large Language Models (LLMs) to memorize and disclose private information, particularly Personally Identifiable Information (PII), become prominent within the community. Many efforts have been made to mitigate the privacy risks.However, the mechanism through which LLMs memorize PI…
Neuromorphic computing, which exploits Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) on neuromorphic chips, is a promising energy-efficient alternative to traditional AI. CNN-based SNNs are the current mainstream of neuromorphic computing. By contrast, no neuromorphic chips are designed especially for Transformer-…
Vision-language models like CLIP, utilizing class proxies derived from class name text features, have shown a notable capability in zero-shot medical image diagnosis which is vital in scenarios with limited disease databases or labeled samples. However, insufficient medical text precision and the mo…
Recent discoveries have revealed that deep neural networks might behave in a biased manner in many real-world scenarios. For instance, deep networks trained on a large-scale face recognition dataset CelebA tend to predict blonde hair for females and black hair for males. Such biases not only jeopard…
