As many of you might already know, I had this dream to become a faculty. Unfortunately, that did not happen, so instead I decided to create my own lab kind of a thing. I am trying to start working with some students (PhD, masters, undergrad are all welcome) and mentor them.

I'll be presenting our work "Evaluating Differentially Private Synthetic Data Generation in High-Stakes Domains" at EMNLP 2024 (Findings)! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2410.08327

Was great to collaborate on this work with @stolenpyjak & team!

🚨New preprint🚨 We propose FLIRT: Feedback Loop In-context Red Teaming that uses in-context learning in a feedback loop to red team a target model. FLIRT updates its in-context examples based on the output generated by the target model and feedback received from a classifier.

🥳 🥳 I am honored to receive the 2022 @Google Ph.D. Fellowship in #NLProc! I want to take this opportunity to thank my advisor @mohitban47 for all his support and guidance, my labmates at @uncnlp @unccs, prior mentors (@mishumausam & internship advisors), and past collaborators.

🎉🎓Congrats to awesome new old graduates: PhDs @lbauer119 @khsquared @jayleicn @easonnie ( @haotan5 who graduated last yr w. @ramakanth1729, but was able to join us at @unccs this summer) & undergrad @EvaHuyn! Was fun to attend in-person hooding celebration photo sessions😀

🎉Excited to call for applications to ACL Year-Round Mentorship 2022! Welcome all #NLProc students worldwide to apply as mentees mentorship.aclweb.org *We are inspired by mentoring sessions at @aclmeeting @emnlpmeeting @naaclmeeting and try to extend it to all year round🥰! /1

Checking out the @OpenAI #dalle2 system card & seeing examples of homogenous people? Check out the project me & others did years ago to exactly address the issue. We even use the same "construction workers" as an example 🥰 (Fig 1) arxiv.org/abs/2002.03256 github.com/openai/dalle-2-pr…

Glad to be part of this red teaming effort & help evaluate potential risks & limitations of powerful text-to-image generation models such as DALLE-2 — check out this detailed “system card”: github.com/openai/dalle-2-pr… cc. @AbhayZala7 @mohitban47 @Miles_Brundage @_lamaahmad @jmhessel

Happy and honored to receive the 2022 Apple Scholar in AI/ML PhD Fellowship! Big thanks to my advisor @mohitban47 for all the support & mentorship. This award is not possible without the help from my labmates at @uncnlp, collaborators, & mentors, from whom I learned a great deal!

I am very honored to receive a @Bloomberg Data Science Ph.D. Fellowship! Many thanks to my advisor @mohitban47 for all the support and guidance I received. I’d also like to thank all my labmates @uncnlp, collaborators, and mentors for their help all along!
