• ICLR 2026 Workshop: Principled Design for Trustworthy AI – Interpretability, Robustness, and Safety across Modalities

    ICLR 2026 Riocentro Convention and Event Center, Rio de Janiero, Brazil

    Modern AI systems, particularly large language models, vision-language models, and deep vision networks, are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings such as healthcare, autonomous driving, and legal decisions. Yet, their lack of transparency, fragility to distributional shifts between train/test environments, and representation misalignment in emerging tasks and data/feature modalities raise serious concerns about their trustworthiness. This […]

  • TILOS-HDSI Seminar: ComPO: Preference Alignment via Comparison Oracles

    HDSI 123 and Virtual 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United States

    Tianyi Lin, Columbia University Direct alignment methods are increasingly used for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. However, these methods suffer from the likelihood displacement, which can be driven by noisy preference pairs that induce similar likelihood for preferred and dis-preferred responses. To address this issue, we consider doing derivative-free optimization based on […]

  • TILOS-HDSI Seminar with Andrej Risteski (Carnegie Mellon)

    HDSI 123 and Virtual 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United States

    Title and abstract TBA... Andrej Risteski is an Associate Professor at the Machine Learning Department in Carnegie Mellon University. Prior to that, he was a Norbert Wiener Research Fellow jointly in the Applied Math department and IDSS at MIT.

  • CVPR 2026 Workshop: Trustworthy, Robust, Uncertainty-Aware, and Explainable Visual Intelligence and Beyond (TRUE-V)

    IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Denver, CO, United States

    Contemporary vision models and vision–language models are increasingly deployed in high-stakes domains, yet remain opaque, fragile, and difficult to align across tasks and modalities. This workshop aim to foster dialogue on the urgent need for transparent, reliable, and safe computer vision systems, especially in critical domains such as healthcare, transportation, and legal decision making. It brings together research […]
