Spotting LLMs With Binoculars: Zero-Shot Detection of Machine-Generated Text

ICML 2024poster

Detecting text generated by modern large language models is thought to be hard, as both LLMs and humans can exhibit a wide range of complex behaviors. However, we find that a score based on contrasting two closely related language models is highly accurate at separating human-generated and machine-g…

TuneTables: Context Optimization for Scalable Prior-Data Fitted Networks

NeurIPS 2024poster

While tabular classification has traditionally relied on from-scratch training, a recent breakthrough called prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) challenges this approach. Similar to large language models, PFNs make use of pretraining and in-context learning to achieve strong performance on new tasks i…

A Performance-Driven Benchmark for Feature Selection in Tabular Deep Learning

NeurIPS 2023poster

Academic tabular benchmarks often contain small sets of curated features. In contrast, data scientists typically collect as many features as possible into their datasets, and even engineer new features from existing ones. To prevent over-fitting in subsequent downstream modeling, practitioners commo…

Transfer Learning with Deep Tabular Models

ICLR 2023poster

Recent work on deep learning for tabular data demonstrates the strong performance of deep tabular models, often bridging the gap between gradient boosted decision trees and neural networks. Accuracy aside, a major advantage of neural models is that they are easily fine-tuned in new domains and learn…

LowKey: Leveraging Adversarial Attacks to Protect Social Media Users from Facial Recognition

ICLR 2021poster

Facial recognition systems are increasingly deployed by private corporations, government agencies, and contractors for consumer services and mass surveillance programs alike. These systems are typically built by scraping social media profiles for user images. Adversarial perturbations have been pr…

Strong Data Augmentation Sanitizes Poisoning and Backdoor Attacks Without an Accuracy Tradeoff

ICASSP 2021accepted

Data poisoning and backdoor attacks manipulate victim models by maliciously modifying training data. In light of this growing threat, a recent survey of industry professionals revealed heightened fear in the private sector regarding data poisoning. Many previous defenses against poisoning either fai…

Unraveling Meta-Learning: Understanding Feature Representations for Few-Shot Tasks

ICML 2020poster

Meta-learning algorithms produce feature extractors which achieve state-of-the-art performance on few-shot classification. While the literature is rich with meta-learning methods, little is known about why the resulting feature extractors perform so well. We develop a better understanding of the und…
