Automated Synthesis of Facial Mechanisms for Conversational Animatronic Robots

RSS 2026poster

Animatronic faces are a central component of socially interactive robots, enabling rich nonverbal communication through facial articulation. However, state-of-the-art animatronic faces are typically tailored systems: each new facial geometry requires extensive manual mechanical redesign, making larg…

LMSYS-Chat-1M: A Large-Scale Real-World LLM Conversation Dataset

ICLR 2024spotlight

Studying how people interact with large language models (LLMs) in real-world scenarios is increasingly important due to their widespread use in various applications. In this paper, we introduce LMSYS-Chat-1M, a large-scale dataset containing one million real-world conversations with 25 state-of-the-…

Judging LLM-as-a-Judge with MT-Bench and Chatbot Arena

NeurIPS 2023poster

Evaluating large language model (LLM) based chat assistants is challenging due to their broad capabilities and the inadequacy of existing benchmarks in measuring human preferences. To address this, we explore using strong LLMs as judges to evaluate these models on more open-ended questions. We exami…

On Compositional Uncertainty Quantification for Seq2seq Graph Parsing

ICLR 2023poster

Recent years have witnessed the success of applying seq2seq models to graph parsing tasks, where the outputs are compositionally structured (e.g., a graph or a tree). However, these seq2seq approaches pose a challenge in quantifying the model’s compositional uncertainty on graph structures due to th…

Retrieval-Augmented Parsing for Complex Graphs by Exploiting Structure and Uncertainty

EMNLP 2023long findings

Retrieval augmentation enhances generative language models by retrieving informative exemplars relevant for output prediction. However, in realistic graph parsing problems where the output space is large and complex, classic retrieval methods based on input-sentence similarity can fail to identify t…

ToxicChat: Unveiling Hidden Challenges of Toxicity Detection in Real-World User-AI Conversation

EMNLP 2023short findings

Despite remarkable advances that large language models have achieved in chatbots nowadays, maintaining a non-toxic user-AI interactive environment has become increasingly critical nowadays. However, previous efforts in toxicity detection have been mostly based on benchmarks derived from social media…

Neural-Symbolic Inference for Robust Autoregressive Graph Parsing via Compositional Uncertainty Quantification

EMNLP 2022main

Pre-trained seq2seq models excel at graph semantic parsing with rich annotated data, but generalize worse to out-of-distribution (OOD) and long-tail examples. In comparison, symbolic parsers under-perform on population-level metrics, but exhibit unique strength in OOD and tail generalization. In thi…

Towards Collaborative Neural-Symbolic Graph Semantic Parsing via Uncertainty

ACL 2022findings

Recent work in task-independent graph semantic parsing has shifted from grammar-based symbolic approaches to neural models, showing strong performance on different types of meaning representations. However, it is still unclear that what are the limitations of these neural parsers, and whether these…

Simple and Principled Uncertainty Estimation with Deterministic Deep Learning via Distance Awareness

NeurIPS 2020poster

Bayesian neural networks (BNN) and deep ensembles are principled approaches to estimate the predictive uncertainty of a deep learning model. However their practicality in real-time, industrial-scale applications are limited due to their heavy memory and inference cost. This motivates us to study pr…

Fast Structured Decoding for Sequence Models

NeurIPS 2019poster

Autoregressive sequence models achieve state-of-the-art performance in domains like machine translation. However, due to the autoregressive factorization nature, these models suffer from heavy latency during inference. Recently, non-autoregressive sequence models were proposed to speed up the infere…
