MDPI Sensors Journal2023This paper proposes, analyzes, and evaluates a deep learning architecture based on transformers for generating sign language motion from sign phonemes (represented using HamNoSys: a notation system developed at the University of Hamburg). The sign phonemes provide information about sign characteristics like hand configuration, localization, or movements. The use of sign phonemes is crucial for generating

NeurIPS 2023 Workshop on Robustness of Zero/Few-shot Learning in Foundation Models (R0-FoMo)2023With the recent surge of language models in different applications, attention to safety and robustness of these models has gained significant importance. Here we introduce a joint framework in which we simultaneously probe and improve the robustness of a black-box target model via adversarial prompting and belief augmentation using iterative feedback loops. This framework utilizes an automated red teaming

NeurIPS 20232023Impactful applications such as materials discovery, hardware design, neural architecture search, or portfolio optimization require optimizing high-dimensional black-box functions with mixed and combinatorial input spaces. While Bayesian optimization has recently made significant progress in solving such problems, an in-depth analysis reveals that the current state-of-the-art methods are not reliable. Their

NeurIPS 2023 Workshop on Efficient Natural Language and Speech Processing (ENLSP-III)2023While data selection methods have been studied extensively in active learning, data pruning, and data augmentation settings, there is little evidence for the efficacy of these methods in industry scale settings, particularly in low-resource languages. Our work presents ways of assessing prospective training examples in those settings for their "usefulness" or "difficulty". We also demonstrate how these

NeurIPS 2023 Workshop on I Can’t Believe It’s Not Better (ICBINB): Failure Modes in the Age of Foundation Models2023Compositionality is a common property in many modalities including text and images, but the compositional generalization of multi-modal models is not well-understood. In this paper, we identify two sources of visual-linguistic compositionality: linguistic priors and the interplay between images and texts. We show that current attempts to improve compositional generalization rely on linguistic priors rather
