Poster Competition: Data-IQ: Characterize & Audit your training data with 2 lines of code!

Jeanette Price

High model performance, on average, can hide that models may systematically underperform on subgroups of the data. To tackle this, we propose Data-IQ, a framework to systematically stratify examples into subgroups with respect to their outcomes — allowing users to audit their tabular, image or text data with just two lines of extra code! We do this by analyzing the …

Poster Competition: Procedure-Aware Pretraining for Instructional Video Understanding

Jeanette Price

Instructional videos depict humans demonstrating how to perform multi-step tasks such as cooking, repairing, etc. Building good video representations from instructional videos is challenging due to the small amount of video annotations available. This makes extracting the procedural knowledge such as the identity of the task (e.g., ‘make latte’), its steps (e.g., ‘pour milk’) challenging. Our insight is that instructions …

DataComp: In search of the next generation of multimodal datasets

Jeanette Price

Large multimodal datasets have been instrumental in recent breakthroughs such as CLIP, Stable Diffusion, and GPT-4. At the same time, datasets rarely receive the same attention as model architectures or training algorithms. To address this shortcoming in the ML ecosystem, we introduce DataComp, a benchmark where the training code is fixed and researchers innovate by proposing new training sets. We …

LLMOps: Making LLM Applications Production-Grade

Jeanette Price

Large language models are fluent text generators, but they struggle at generating factual, correct content. How can we convert these capabilities into reliable, production-grade applications? In this talk, I’ll cover several techniques to do this based on my work and experience at Stanford and Databricks. On the research side, we’ve been developing programming frameworks such as Demonstrate-Search-Predict (DSP) that reliably …
