🚨Excited to share our recent work on improving the diversity of generations in diffusion models. TL;DR: In this work we apply additional guidance by computing the Vendi Score of previously generated images and enforce the new generations to be different from previous ones (1/4)

Together with Prof Golnoosh Farnadi we are hiring a Postdoc (McGill) on Machine Unlearning. If you are working in this area and are interested in this position, come talk to me at #CVPR

A busy day for Trento's people #CVPR2024!

While benchmarking remains the method of choice to assess some notion of progress in AI/ML/NLP, there is surprisingly no principled/rigorous way to make sure the benchmarks we build or rely on actually measure what we think they are measuring #ACL2024NLP x.com/liu_yu_lu/stat…

What happens when you ask an LLM to recall the same fact about different countries? For *all* 20 LLMs we study, we found *severe disparities* across geographic and income lines, with some countries seeing 3x higher average error than others🙁 w/ Elham Tabassi Soheil Feizi 🧵

Super excited for Contextualized Vendi Score Guidance being accepted at #ECCV2024 🎉 The codebase is also available now: github.com/facebookresear… c-VSG can be applied on any off-the-shelf latent diffusion model to improve the diversity of generations. arxiv.org/abs/2406.04551

Bias-inducing geometries: exactly solvable data model with fairness implications 🔗 openreview.net/forum?id=oupiz… 👯‍♂️ me, Federica Gerace, Negar Rostamzadeh, Luca Saglietti 📅 Sat 27 Jul 🏰 Workshop on Geometry-grounded Representation Learning and Generative Modeling

I loved the talk of Golnoosh Farnadi at WiML on algorithmic fairness. We have much to do as a community to aim for true fairness rather than quick post-processing band-aid hacks.

📢 Montreal AI Symposium is back! It's a great venue to present your work and make connections to Montreal-based experts in AI. Contributions are in the format of two pages abstract and the deadline is August 22nd. Call for contributions: ow.ly/Uc9P50SKqcb

On behalf of MAIS board members, I am really excited to announce #MAIS 2024 Call for Paper. Please submit your work before August 22nd! MAIS is the largest AI Conference in Quebec, showcasing the work of researchers from industry and academia!

Reminder that MAIS deadline is on Sept. 1st. CMT submission link: cmt3.research.microsoft.com/MAIS2024/ Also please consider signing up as a reviewer: forms.gle/NDGu1DjzhjQZck…

My daughter's first day at daycare! Excited and nervous 💗
