Generative models are often deployed to make decisions on behalf of users, such as vision-language models (VLMs) identifying which person in a room is a doctor to help visually impaired individuals. Yet, VLM decisions are influenced by the perceived demographic attributes of people in the input, whi
Modern machine learning models heavily rely on large datasets that often include sensitive and private information, raising serious privacy concerns. Differentially private (DP) data generation offers a solution by creating synthetic datasets that limit the leakage of private information within a pr…
The recent rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs) highlights the critical need for benchmarking their fairness. Conventional fairness metrics, which focus on discrete accuracy-based evaluations (i.e., prediction correctness), fail to capture the implicit impact of model uncertainty (e.g., hi…
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown promise as web agents, yet their planning—the ability to devise strategies or action sequences to complete tasks—remains understudied. While prior works focus on VLM’s perception and overall success rates (i.e., goal completion), fine-grained investigation of
The performance of deep learning models is intrinsically tied to the quality volume and relevance of their training data. Gathering ample data for production scenarios often demands significant time and resources. Among various strategies data augmentation circumvents exhaustive data collection by g…
The widespread success of deep learning models today is owed to the curation of extensive datasets significant in size and complexity. However, such models frequently pick up inherent biases in the data during the training process, leading to unreliable predictions. Diagnosing and debiasing datasets…
