| Challenge: | Existing captioning models ignore existing alt-text metadata and lack transparency if training data is unknown. |
| Approach: | They propose an approach to edit and re-align alt-texts associated with images using human annotation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves image captions and improves text-to-image generation and zero-shot image classification tasks. |

| Challenge: | generative large language models (LLMs) are becoming more performant and prevalent . we need tools to measure and improve their fairness, authors say . |
| Approach: | They propose to compare 6 different prompt-based bias and toxicity metrics across 12 demographic axes and 5 families of generative large language models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be tested on more datasets to better characterize and mitigate biases . the study compared 6 prompt-based bias and toxicity metrics across 12 demographic axes and 5 families of generative large language models. |

| Challenge: | Existing approaches to textual robustness evaluation focus on slightly modifying the input data, which maintains the original meaning and results in a different prediction. |
| Approach: | They propose a multilingual robustness evaluation toolkit for NLP that integrates universal text transformations, task-specific transformations and adversarial attack. |
| Outcome: | The toolkit includes universal text transformation, task-specific transformation, adversarial attack, subpopulation, and their combinations to provide comprehensive robustness analyses. |
