In any case, the work is featuring at an interesting-looking workshop this weekend, put on by @katherinelee.bsky.social, @vaidehipatil.bsky.social, and others. More info here: mugenworkshop.github.io

Extremely excited to announce that I will be joining @utaustin.bsky.social Computer Science in August 2025 as an Assistant Professor! 🎉

🚨 Introducing our @tmlrorg.bsky.social paper “Unlearning Sensitive Information in Multimodal LLMs: Benchmark and Attack-Defense Evaluation” We present UnLOK-VQA, a benchmark to evaluate unlearning in vision-and-language models, where both images and text may encode sensitive or private information.

In Singapore for #ICLR2025 this week to present papers + keynotes 👇, and looking forward to seeing everyone -- happy to chat about research, or faculty+postdoc+phd positions, or simply hanging out (feel free to ping)! 🙂 Also meet our awesome students/postdocs/collaborators presenting their work.

Come chat about unlearning with us!!

🥳🥳 Honored and grateful to be awarded the 2025 Apple Scholars in AI/ML PhD Fellowship! ✨ Huge shoutout to my advisor @mohitbansal.bsky.social, & many thanks to my lab mates @unccs.bsky.social , past collaborators + internship advisors for their support ☺️🙏 machinelearning.apple.com/updates/appl...

🚨UPCORE is our new method for balancing unlearning/forgetting with maintaining model performance. Best part is it works by selecting a coreset from the data rather than changing the model, so it is compatible with any unlearning method, with consistent gains for 3 methods + 2 tasks!

🚨 Introducing UPCORE, to balance deleting info from LLMs with keeping their other capabilities intact. UPCORE selects a coreset of forget data, leading to a better trade-off across 2 datasets and 3 unlearning methods. 🧵👇

🎉 Congrats to the awesome students, postdocs, & collaborators for this exciting batch of #ICLR2025 and #NAACL2025 accepted papers (FYI some are on the academic/industry job market and a great catch 🙂), on diverse, important topics such as: -- adaptive data generation environments/policies ... 🧵

🎉Very excited that our work on Persuasion-Balanced Training has been accepted to #NAACL2025! We introduce a multi-agent tree-based method for teaching models to balance: 1️⃣ Accepting persuasion when it helps 2️⃣ Resisting persuasion when it hurts (e.g. misinformation) arxiv.org/abs/2410.14596 🧵 1/4

Congratulations to my advisor, Mohit! 🎉 So excited to see his impactful contributions to AI honored with the #AAAI Fellow recognition, coming right after the prestigious #PECASE award. Well-earned and inspiring—congrats! 🙂
