Research

• ASMR-Bench: Auditing for Sabotage in ML Research — Eric Gan, Aryan Bhatt, Buck Shlegeris. As AI systems are increasingly used to conduct research autonomously, misaligned systems could introduce subtle flaws that produce misleading results while evading detection.
• Using Large Language Models and Knowledge Graphs to Improve the Interpretability — Thomas Bayer, Alexander Lohr, Sarah Weiß. Explaining Machine Learning (ML) results in a transparent and user-friendly manner remains a challenging task of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI).
• Learning to Reason with Insight for Informal Theorem Proving — Yunhe Li, Hao Shi, Bowen Deng. Although most of the automated theorem-proving approaches depend on formal proof systems, informal theorem proving can align better with large language models' (LLMs) strength in natural language proc...
• VEFX-Bench: A Holistic Benchmark for Generic Video Editing and Visual Effects — Xiangbo Gao, Sicong Jiang, Bangya Liu. As AI-assisted video creation becomes increasingly practical, instruction-guided video editing has become essential for refining generated or captured footage to meet professional requirements.
