Many responsible AI resources, such as toolkits, playbooks, and checklists, have been developed to support AI practitioners in identifying, measuring, and mitigating potential fairness-related harms. These resources are often designed to be general purpose in order to be applicable to a variety of use cases,…
Large language models (LLMs) can now handle longer and more complex inputs, which facilitate the use of more elaborate prompts. However, prompts often require some tuning to improve performance for deployment. Recent work has proposed automatic prompt optimization methods, but as prompt complexity and LLM…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated surprising performance on many tasks, including writing supportive messages that display empathy. Here, we had these models generate empathic messages in response to posts describing common life experiences, such as workplace situations, parenting, relationships, and other anxiety- and anger-eliciting…
Appropriate reliance on AI happens when users accept correct AI outputs and reject incorrect ones. New complexities arise for fostering appropriate reliance on generative AI (GenAI) systems. GenAI systems pose several risks, despite often rivaling, and sometimes surpassing, human performance on many tasks. Inappropriate reliance…
Timely detection of Barrett’s esophagus, the pre-malignant condition of esophageal adenocarcinoma, can improve patient survival rates. The Cytosponge-TFF3 test, a non-endoscopic minimally invasive procedure, has been used for diagnosing intestinal metaplasia in Barrett’s. However, it depends on pathologist’s assessment of two slides stained with H&E…
The rise of powerful large language models (LLMs) brings about tremendous opportunities for innovation but also looming risks for individuals and society at large. We have reached a pivotal moment for ensuring that LLMs and LLM-infused applications are developed and deployed responsibly. However, a central…
Recent advances in machine learning have significantly impacted the field of information extraction, with Language Models (LMs) playing a pivotal role in extracting structured information from unstructured text. Prior works typically represent information extraction as triplet-centric and use classical metrics such as precision and recall…
Spreadsheets are a vital tool for end-user data management. Using large language models for formula authoring assistance in these environments can be difficult, as these models are expensive to train and challenging to deploy due to their size (up to billions of parameters). We present…
In various work contexts, such as meeting scheduling, collaborating, and project planning, collective decision-making is essential but often challenging due to diverse individual preferences, varying work focuses, and power dynamics among members. To address this, we propose a system leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to…
Moderate-sized large language models (LLMs) -- those with 7B or 13B parameters -- exhibit promising machine translation (MT) performance. However, even the top-performing 13B LLM-based translation models, like ALMA, does not match the performance of state-of-the-art conventional encoder-decoder translation models or larger-scale LLMs such as…
We study the potential of using large language models (LLMs) as an interactive optimizer for solving maximization problems on a text space using natural language and numerical feedback. Inspired by the classical optimization literature, we classify the natural language feedback into directional and non-directional, where…
We investigate the problem of smart operational efficiency, at scale, in Machine Learning models for Big Data streams, in context of embedded AI applications, by learning optimal early exits. Embedded AI applications that employ deep neural models depend on efficient model inference at scale, especially…
