This paper aims to help structure the risk landscape associated with large-scale Language Models (LMs). In order to foster advances in responsible innovation, an in-depth understanding of the potential risks posed by these models is needed.…
Entity matching is the task of deciding whether two entity descriptions refer to the same real-world entity. Entity matching is a central step in most data integration pipelines. Many state-of-the-art entity matching methods rely on…
Activation probes are attractive monitors for AI systems due to low cost and latency, but their real-world robustness remains underexplored. We ask: What failure modes arise under realistic, black-box adversarial pressure, and how can we…
Recently, the data protection practices of researchers in human-computer interaction and elsewhere have gained attention. Initial results suggest that researchers struggle with anonymization, partly due to a lack of clear, actionable…
Security classifiers, designed to detect malicious content in computer systems and communications, can underperform when provided with insufficient training data. In the security domain, it is often easy to find samples of the negative…
