Adversarial Attacks and Defense for Conversation Entailment Task

Yang, Zhenning, Krawec, Ryan, Wu, Liang-Yuan

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

As the deployment of NLP systems in critical applications grows, ensuring the robustness of large language models (LLMs) against adversarial attacks becomes increasingly important. Large language models excel in various NLP tasks but remain vulnerable to low-cost adversarial attacks. Focusing on the domain of conversation entailment, where multi-turn dialogues serve as premises to verify hypotheses, we fine-tune a transformer model to accurately discern the truthfulness of these hypotheses. Adversaries manipulate hypotheses through synonym swapping, aiming to deceive the model into making incorrect predictions. To counteract these attacks, we implemented innovative fine-tuning techniques and introduced an embedding perturbation loss method to significantly bolster the model's robustness. Our findings not only emphasize the importance of defending against adversarial attacks in NLP but also highlight the real-world implications, suggesting that enhancing model robustness is critical for reliable NLP applications.

The Complete Collection of Data Science Interviews – Part 1 - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

Were you in the situation when the interviewer asked you a situational or technical question, and you froze up? Just because you were not prepared for it. It happens to many, including me. I have tendencies to freeze during technical interviews, and the hiring manager will take it as my weakness to reject me at the initial stage of the recruitment process. To overcome this problem, I started to look at sample interview questions.

#artificialintelligence

The MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) at the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS) and the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing is seeking applicants for a Postdoctoral Scholar to perform independent research in the broad areas of machine learning and intelligent systems, mentored by Prof. Navid Azizan (azizan.mit.edu). We are looking for candidates with proven excellence in research who have the vision and interest to contribute to interdisciplinary research on foundations of deep learning, optimization, dynamical systems, control, and autonomy, with applications to robotics, autonomous systems, smart grids, and societal networks. The position is available immediately with a start date of September 1, 2022, or earlier. Candidates who are currently interviewing for faculty positions but would like to spend a year at MIT before starting their faculty careers are especially encouraged to apply. Job Requirements: Doctoral degree (expected or obtained) in engineering, computer science, data science, operations research, mathematics, or a related field; strong analytical and written communication skills; and ability to work effectively in an interdisciplinary environment.


Crack Data Science Interviews: Essential Machine Learning Concepts

#artificialintelligence

Data Science Interviews cover a wide range of topics: a Statistics component testing candidates' general statistical fluency, a Machine Learning section on candidates' knowledge of various ML algorithms and the tradeoffs, and a programming part that excruciates us for live-coding skills. Even more, there is a newly found trend in the DS community, which is shifting towards Computer Science fundamentals like Data Structure & Algorithm (Check the wonderful article Emma Ding @Airbnb). Taken together, they appear to be too daunting to handle. If we divide the big chunks into smaller pieces, each piece becomes more "chewable" and manageable. This is the first chapter of a dual post on fundamental concepts.


SAP Bets Machine Learning Can Make Workplace More Transparent

#artificialintelligence

The company's vision is to develop consumer-like applications that bring more transparency and information to workplace issues such as leadership, pay equity, hiring and health-and-wellness, said Jennifer Morgan, president of SAP's global customer operations for the Americas and Asia Pacific Japan regions. "With AI and machine learning, there's a perfect opportunity to really help companies understand the data so they can make changes as necessary," said Ms. Morgan. Some apps are being developed by in-house employees, while others are being developed through partnerships with startups such as health-and-wellness company Thrive Global, founded by Arianna Huffington. Other companies are trying to modernize corporate management with apps for improving employee performance and retention. At PricewaterhouseCoopers, annual performance reviews have been replaced by a proprietary app that gives employees real-time feedback about how they're doing.

Modeling Design Processes

AI Magazine

One of the major problems in developing so-called intelligent computer-aided design (CAD) systems (ten Hagen and Tomiyama 1987) is the representation of design knowledge, which is a two-part process: the representation of design objects and the representation of design processes. We believe that intelligent CAD systems will be fully realized only when these two types of representation are integrated. Progress has been made in the representation of design objects, as can be seen, for example, in geometric modeling; however, almost no significant results have been seen in the representation of design processes, which implies that we need a design theory to formalize them. According to Finger and Dixon (1989), design process models can be categorized into a descriptive model that explains how design is done, a cognitive model that explains the designer's behavior, a prescriptive model that shows how design must be done, and a computable model that expresses a method by which a computer can accomplish a task. A design theory for intelligent CAD is not useful when it is merely descriptive or cognitive; it must also be computable.

An important task in postal automation technology is determining the position and orientation of the destination address block in the image of a mail piece such as a letter, magazine, or parcel. The corresponding subimage is then presented to a human operator or a machine reader (optical character reader) that can read the zip code and, if necessary, other address information and direct the mail piece to the appropriate sorting bin Analysis of physical characteristics of mail pieces indicates that in order to automate the addressfinding task, several different image analysis operations are necessary Some examples are locating a rectangular white address label on a multicolor background, progressively grouping characters into text lines and text Lines into text blocks, eliminating candidate regions by specialized detectors (fol example, detecting regions such as postage stamps), and identifying handwritten regions. A typical mail piece has several regions or blocks that are meaningful to mail processing, for example, address blocks (destination and return), postage [meter mark or stamp) as well as extraneous blocks WINTER 1987 25 Figure 1. The heuristics listed in the previous section suggest that the design of ABLS consist of several specialized tools that are appropriately deployed. Rule R2 suggests the need for a tool to detect postage fluorescence, rule R3 a tool for isolating blocks of a certain color, rule R4 for discriminating between handwriting and print, and so on.

This article presents the results of a multifaceted research and development effort that synergistically integrates AI research with military strategy research and practical deployment of agents into education. A distinguishing feature of this collaboration is the synergistic integration of AI research with military strategy research and the practical use of agents in education, as detailed in the following. View on the Evolution of the Software Development Process. strategic leaders at all the United States senior military service colleges, there is a great emphasis on the center of gravity analysis (Strange 1996). Hence, we have the third objective of this research, the educational objective of enhancing the educational process of senior military officers through the use of intelligent agent technology. Both programs emphasized the use of innovative challenge problems to focus and evaluate the research and development efforts.
