Evaluation of QA systems is very challenging and expensive, with the most reliable approach being human annotations of correctness of answers for questions. Recent works (AVA, BEM) have shown that transformer LM encoder based similarity…

Post-training Large Language Models requires diverse, high-quality data which is rare and costly to obtain, especially in low resource domains and for multi-turn conversations. Common solutions are crowdsourcing or synthetic generation, but…

Large language models (LLMs) remain vulnerable to adversarial prompting despite advances in alignment and safety, often exhibiting harmful behaviors under novel attack strategies. While adversarial training can improve robustness, existing…

Most of the existing works for dialogue generation are data-driven models trained directly on corpora crawled from websites. They mainly focus on improving the model architecture to produce better responses but pay little attention to…

Question generation has recently gained a lot of research interest, especially with the advent of large language models. In and of itself, question generation can be considered 'AI-hard', as there is a lack of unanimously agreed sense of…

Recent work has proposed several efficient approaches for generating gradient-based adversarial perturbations on embeddings and proved that the model's performance and robustness can be improved when they are trained with these contaminated…

We propose to improve text recognition from a new perspective by separating the text content from complex backgrounds. As vanilla GANs are not sufficiently robust to generate sequence-like characters in natural images, we propose an…
