Probing Negation in Language Models

Published in The 8th Workshop on Representation Learning for NLP (RepL4NLP). 61st Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2023

We hypothesize about why pretrained LMs are inconsistent under negation: when the statement could refer to multiple ground entities with conflicting properties, negation may not entail a change in output. This means negation minimal pairs in different training samples can have the same completion in pretraining corpora.

Representation Surgery: Theory and Practice of Affine Steering

Published in The Forty-first International Conference on Machine Learning, 2024

This paper investigates the formal and empirical properties of steering functions, i.e., transformation of the neural language model’s representations that alter its behavior.

Emergence of Text Semantics in CLIP Image Encoders

Published in UniReps: 2nd Edition of the Workshop on Unifying Representations in Neural Models (NeurIPS workshop 2024), 2024

Humans process text visually; our work studies the semantics of text rendered in images. We show that the semantic information captured by image representations can decisively classify the sentiment of sentences and is robust against visual attributes like font and not based on simple character frequency associations.
