Security Challenges in Natural Language Processing Models (2023.emnlp-tutorial)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large-scale natural language processing models are vulnerable to security issues, such as backdoor attacks, private data leakage, and imitation attacks. |
| Approach: | They will dive into three emerging security issues in NLP research, i.e., backdoor attacks, private data leakage, and imitation attacks. |
| Outcome: | This tutorial will cover three emerging security issues in NLP research, i.e., backdoor attacks, private data leakage, and imitation attacks. |

| Challenge: | This tutorial will cover how to conduct human-in-the-loop usability evaluations to ensure that models are capable of interacting with humans. |
| Approach: | They will provide a systematic overview of key considerations and effective approaches for studying human-NLP model interactions. |
| Outcome: | This tutorial will cover how to conduct human-in-the-loop usability evaluations to ensure that models are capable of interacting with humans. |
LLM-driven Instruction Following: Progresses and Concerns (2023.emnlp-tutorial)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a tutorial on task instruction is aimed at researchers and practitioners interested in NLP generalization . labeled examples are unlikely to be available in large numbers or do not exist . |
| Approach: | This tutorial will examine the progress of natural language processing (NLP) using labeled examples. authors propose that task instructions act as a novel resource for supervision. |
| Outcome: | This tutorial aims to answer questions about instruction-driven NLP . it focuses on the use of task instructions in a low-shot scenario . |
Mitigating Societal Harms in Large Language Models (2023.emnlp-tutorial)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies have highlighted societal harms that can be caused by language generation models deployed in the wild. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a typology of technical approaches to mitigating harms of language generation models to provide an overview of potential social issues in language generation including toxicity, social biases, misinformation, factual inconsistency, and privacy violations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed typology addresses toxicity, biases, misinformation, factual inconsistency, and privacy violations in language generation models. |
