Textual Bayes: Quantifying Uncertainty in LLM-Based Systems

ICLR 2026poster

Although large language models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly capable of solving challenging real-world tasks, accurately quantifying their uncertainty remains a critical open problem—one that limits their applicability in high-stakes domains. This challenge is further compounded by the closed-sou…

A Geometric Framework for Understanding Memorization in Generative Models

ICLR 2025spotlight

As deep generative models have progressed, recent work has shown them to be capable of memorizing and reproducing training datapoints when deployed. These findings call into question the usability of generative models, especially in light of the legal and privacy risks brought about by memorization.…

MSc-SQL: Multi-Sample Critiquing Small Language Models For Text-To-SQL Translation

NAACL 2025long

Text-to-SQL generation enables non-experts to interact with databases via natural language. Recent advances rely on large closed-source models like GPT-4 that present challenges in accessibility, privacy, and latency. To address these issues, we focus on developing small, efficient, and open-source…

Data-Efficient Multimodal Fusion on a Single GPU

CVPR 2024highlight

The goal of multimodal alignment is to learn a single latent space that is shared between multimodal inputs. The most powerful models in this space have been trained using massive datasets of paired inputs and large-scale computational resources making them prohibitively expensive to train in many p…

Exposing flaws of generative model evaluation metrics and their unfair treatment of diffusion models

NeurIPS 2023poster

We systematically study a wide variety of generative models spanning semantically-diverse image datasets to understand and improve the feature extractors and metrics used to evaluate them. Using best practices in psychophysics, we measure human perception of image realism for generated samples by co…

TR0N: Translator Networks for 0-Shot Plug-and-Play Conditional Generation

ICML 2023poster

We propose TR0N, a highly general framework to turn pre-trained unconditional generative models, such as GANs and VAEs, into conditional models. The conditioning can be highly arbitrary, and requires only a pre-trained auxiliary model. For example, we show how to turn unconditional models into class…
